The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 81

Shen Luo

The flesh and blood on his hand was still very real, and there was still warm blood mixed between the fingers. His eyes had not yet recovered from the shock at that time, and fine beads of sweat on his forehead formed a ball and fell from the tip of his nose.

All of this was so real, as real as if it happened, and a phone call rescued him from this abyss.

“What’s wrong?”

An Yu answered the phone angrily, and the person on the other end seemed to hesitate for a long time before slowly saying a few words.

“There’s news.”

As soon as these words came out, An Yu changed his impatient tone, unconsciously clenched the phone with both hands, slowed down his breathing a little, and said word by word: “Speak clearly.”

Liang Qian’s voice didn’t seem so happy, but sad, as if the result was unsatisfactory after all the hard work.

“Shen Luo found it.”

An Yu said excitedly: “Where is it?”

Liang Qian glanced at the person sitting opposite and said, “I can’t tell you on the phone. I’ll send you the address. You come here first.”

In his condition, he definitely couldn’t drive out. Fortunately, the bodyguards An Yan found for him were good at driving, which shortened the time to find Liang Qian and the others in half.

An Yu asked him to guard outside the door, and the three of them closed the door and recounted the story in detail.

Qi Wang didn’t ask any more questions. He just repeated what he had said to Liang Qian before and then took out a photo.

“I saw a check-up form a few days ago when I was paying for my mother. Unlike other check-ups, there is no photo on it. It might make sense if there are no photos in other hospitals, but as long as you go into the Second Hospital, there will be a photo, and the name on it is the same as what Liang Qian said before. It just so happened that there was no news from you, so I took a look outside the ward. He tilted his head and I didn’t see the front face, but if I look at it from the side, I am 70% sure it is him, and you can see for yourself about 30% of the time.”

Qi Wang finished the story in one breath and pushed the photo in his direction. Even though there was only the lower half of his face, An Yu recognized him at a glance. Her lips were slightly opened and she wanted to call his name, but it was stuck in her throat.

Liang Qian hit the table hard, and the table made a muffled groan, and said angrily: “I really didn’t expect that she would send Shen Luo to the second hospital. Was her heart eaten by a dog? Didn’t this push Shen Luo into the fire pit?”

“I’m going to take him home.”

Liang Qian followed them, hoping that he would remember something very important after the two left, and immediately chased them out, but they were gone.

The roar of the car was silenced in front of the second courtyard. Although it was daytime, Liang Qian felt an unprecedented negative energy. He stopped at the door for a long time and no one opened the door.

At this time, Qi Wang caught up and explained: “The visiting hours in the second hospital are fixed. If you want to go in, you can only wait until tomorrow.”

Qi Wang was breathing heavily, as if he had run a long way to get here. An Yu frowned and said seriously: “Why didn’t you tell me about such an important thing earlier?”

Liang Qian also acted as a peacemaker, and said, “What kind of attitude do you have? Someone kindly helped you find the person, but you didn’t even say thank you. Instead, you blamed them for not telling you the important point. What’s the point of this?”

After teaching him a lesson, he comforted him and said to Qi Wang, “Don’t blame him. He is also concerned and confused. After all, after searching for so long, I finally got the news. I apologize to you on his behalf.”

An Yu realized his disgrace, sorted out his emotions, looked at Qi Wang apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, I was overly emotional. Thank you for helping us find Shen Luo. I owe you.”

Qi Wang was not angry. He understood the loss of control and said with a relieved smile: “It’s okay. I’ll just help you. If you don’t mind, I’ll take you in tomorrow.”

An Yu lowered his eyes, making people unpredictable, and said softly: “Thank you.”

“Now that I’ve caught up, I’ll go visit my aunt tomorrow.” Liang Qian said with a smile.

Hope nodded slightly.

No one seemed to have slept well that night. After Tang Moci heard the news, he wanted to go with him. However, the game he developed that night had some glitches during the testing phase, so he decided not to do it.

As soon as it dawned, An Yu couldn’t sleep anymore. The injury on his arm miraculously healed a lot, and An Yan finally let him go.

“Xiao Wang, here we go again.”

The security guard here greeted him familiarly and carried his lunch box to the cafeteria. An Yu and Liang Qian followed him through building after building and stopped in front of a building that didn’t look old.

“This is where it is. Women live on the first to fourth floors and take the elevator on the left. Men take the elevator on the right from the fifth to eighth floors.” Qi Wang pointed to the elevator not far away.

Liang Qian also held a rather eye-catching bouquet of gardenias in his arms. He went all over Ancheng’s flower shops last night. For some reason, gardenias seemed not so popular. Only one flower shop sold them. He immediately rounded up all the gardenias and lined them with light yellow milk tissue paper. The outside was covered with matte Ouya paper of the same color. There was no need to choose other flowers as supporting roles. Only white flowers and green leaves were enough.

He said: “Let’s go see Auntie first. Now that we know where Shen Luo is, we can’t run away.”

An Yu didn’t listen to a word of what the two said. He kept observing the surroundings, his eyes resting on a small house that was incompatible with other tall buildings.Seeing that he was distracted, Liang Qian gave him an elbow first, and then gave him a look. Only then did he react and said: “…Go and see Auntie first…”

Qi Wang brought a mask to each of them and said thoughtfully: “The smell inside is unpleasant, please put it on.”

“Then you…”

Qi Wang smiled nonchalantly and said, “I’m used to it.”

As soon as he stepped into the lobby, someone pushed a trolley down the elevator on the right. An Yu only glanced at it and then looked away. The pungent smell inside easily penetrated into the nasal cavity even if he was wearing a mask. His brows did not relax from the beginning to the end. Liang Qian looked around curiously, and the elevator stopped at the fourth floor.

Qi Wang brought them to ward 402. There were only four people in a ward. Zhao Hongyin’s bed was always the cleanest. She sat there holding the doll in her hand without making any noise.

“Mom, someone else came to see you today.”

When Liang Qian saw her, he placed the flowers in front of him. Zhao Hongyin smelled a faint fragrance of flowers. She was stunned and looked at the flower in his hand with sad eyes. Then she let go of the doll in her hand and picked off a petal. Tears streamed down her face. She hoped to quickly take out a tissue and help her wipe her face clean.

Zhao Hongyin waved to him with a smile, patted the seat next to her, and said to him: “Qi Wenjie, you’re here, come sit down. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. If you don’t come back, I will be angry.”

Liang Qian looked at Qi Wang with a questioning look on his face and whispered: “Who do you think I am?”

“Qi Wenjie is my father, and my mother became like this because something happened to my father.” Qi Wang stood in front of him, stopping him from grabbing Liang Qian’s hand.

He took the flowers away and put them on the table and explained to Zhao Hongyin, “Mom, my dad is not here. You see clearly that they are my friends and came to see you.”

“Hello, aunt.”

Hope said a few words with her and took them away. When the elevator on the seventh floor opened, An Yu’s heart was about to jump out of her chest. The wound was itchy. Liang Qian’s mask tightened. The smell here was even worse than downstairs. It even smelled like the toilet had exploded and hadn’t been repaired for a month.

Arriving in front of the ward, Qi Wang’s hand stopped on the doorknob. He turned his head and said to them solemnly: “Be mentally prepared.”

I opened the door after seeing them nodding, but there were only three people in the room, and one hospital bed was empty, which was Shen Luo’s bed that I wished to see.

Seeing this, Liang Qian didn’t care about the unpleasant smell. He took off his mask, stopped a nurse and asked, “Where is the patient in bed No. 2?”

The nurse took a look and said, “If he’s not here, he’s been taken away for treatment.”

The two of them looked at Qi Wang, who lowered his head and couldn’t say a word. An Yu thought of the group of people he had just seen downstairs, pushing a hospital bed and getting off the elevator on the right. He didn’t have time to inform them and ran to the elevator entrance.

The down button dinged when he pressed it, and the elevator door was already closed when Liang Qian and the others arrived.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Anyu rushed out and stood where he saw the hospital bed just now, like a blind man who couldn’t tell the direction.

Liang Qian had already caught up, panting and putting his arm on his shoulder, saying, “What’s wrong?”

“There were a few people pushing hospital beds out of the elevator just now,” An Yu complained, “Why didn’t I pay attention?”

Liang Qian patted him twice and comforted him: “Okay, there’s still surveillance. Let’s see it first before talking about it.”

When he said this, he subconsciously looked at Qi Wang. He opened his mouth, then shook his head and said, “This is the second hospital. Many regulations are different from other hospitals. If you want to see the surveillance here, you need to submit an application to the hospital stating the reason. Then, after the hospital review is completed, staff will accompany you to check. If you check rashly, it will involve an invasion of privacy, which is not good for you or him.”

Liang Qian scratched his head and walked around in circles, saying, “Then there is no other way?”

An Yu immediately calmed down and told the two of them in a firm tone: “Look one by one. Even if I turn the hospital upside down, I will still find Shen Luo.”

The three of them split up and An Yu called the bodyguard number outside the hospital. It would be much easier for four people to find him than three people.

Shen Luo returned to the small room without the sun and moon, and was filled with deep fear. In this room, all his senses were infinitely amplified. The sound of water dripping and the sound of birds passing outside the window could make his hair stand on end and make him highly alert.

The group of people, still wearing the same outfit, walked into the room in a hurry. The few people behind the leader picked up Shen Luo and walked out of the room. Shen Luo had been injected with a sufficient dose of sedatives before he came, and he had no resistance at all.

There was a water tank placed in the center of the cold and damp room. He was repeated the same steps as before, holding photos to make him react and then throwing his whole body into the water tank, leaving only the upper half of his face for him to breathe.

For the first time, An Yu felt that he was not running fast enough. He stood between the buildings and gasped for air. Every breath felt like someone was forcing him to swallow countless needles.

There weren’t many buildings here. An Yu’s legs were weak from running. He put his hands on his knees and bent down to catch his breath. When he looked up, he saw the short house. There were very few people around and almost no one was there. When An Yu looked there, he felt inexplicably flustered and his heartbeat accelerated.

He walked that way without much thought. The closer he got, the darker the sky seemed. It belonged entirely to a shady corner.

It was a large iron door. The lock had been opened and hung loosely on the nose of the door. Anyu pushed the door and went in. It was so gloomy that he couldn’t see his fingers inside. The lights became brighter as he went inside. Anyu opened the doors one by one, but there was nothing inside until he opened a ward with only one bed. The smell of blood filled the room, as if someone had built a wall with flesh and was colored by blood.

“Are there people actually living here?”

He couldn’t bear to stay in this house for one more second, and he felt alive after closing the door. He continued to walk forward, and suddenly heard a scream, which was the sound he had been missing all day and night.
