Chapter 808 Xiaoyu, please be my girlfriend
In the tranquil and peaceful sanatorium of the military hospital, everything was so quiet that only the rustling of leaves in the breeze could be heard.
Director Chang, along with Wu Lan, Zhou Jing and An Yu, and led by his adjutant, walked slowly along the cobblestone path towards the ward where the old man was.
The sunlight shines through the gaps between the mottled leaves, casting patches of light and shadow, as if covering their way forward with a layer of dreamy gauze.
The moment they stepped into the ward, a smell of disinfectant mixed with a faint medicinal fragrance hit them in the face.
Teng Zijing was seen with a look of deep guilt on his face. He was kneeling beside the bed like a sculpture, holding the old man's hand tightly with both hands, as if that was his last salvation.
The adjutant walked lightly to the bedside, leaned over slightly, and reported in a standard and respectful manner: "Sir, Director Chang and the others have arrived."
The old man nodded slightly and ordered in a slightly hoarse but still authoritative voice: "Raise the bed for me."
"Okay." After the adjutant finished speaking, he immediately turned around and prepared to operate the lifting device beside the bed.
Seeing this, Director Chang hurriedly walked to the bedside and said enthusiastically and sincerely, "I'll do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he nimbly reached out and pressed an exquisite button on the side of the bed.
With a slight and steady mechanical sound, the head of the bed slowly rose. Director Chang stared intently at the angle of the bed.
After adjusting it to a suitable position that was both comfortable and convenient for the old man to talk to others, he gently pressed the button again, and the operating sound stopped abruptly.
Then, Director Chang bowed slightly, leaned forward, and said respectfully at a just right distance and posture:
"Hello, Commander. I have brought all the people here according to your instructions. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. We will fully cooperate."
The old man raised his head slightly, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes, but he still showed his unquestionable majesty.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Director Chang, thank you for coming all the way here!"
Upon hearing this, Director Chang immediately put on a humble smile, nodded slightly, and said in a firm and gentle tone:
"Commander, this is my job. I serve the people wholeheartedly and diligently, and I should help you solve your problems."
The old man turned his head slightly, looking at An Yu with a sharp gaze. Although his voice was low, it was clear and powerful as he asked, "This young lady must be the An Yu who stabbed Teng Zijing, right?"
When Teng Zijing heard the old man's question, his heart suddenly tightened and he looked at An Yu nervously.
At this moment, An Yu was like a frightened deer, standing there at a loss, her face full of panic and helplessness.
There was a hint of fear and grievance in his eyes, his lips trembled slightly, and he called out softly with great distress: "Grandpa..."
The old man frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, and he sternly withdrew his arm and said loudly: "Shut up."
Teng Zijing was so frightened by this scolding that his whole body trembled, and his eyes flickered for a moment.
As if hiding countless complex emotions, he slowly lowered his head, silent like a child who had made a mistake.
The old man seemed to realize that his tone was a bit too harsh, and he adjusted his mood slightly, and his expression gradually returned to calm.
He fixed his gaze on An Yu with a serious expression, yet tried to slow down his tone, trying to soothe her nervousness:
"Miss An'u, I know you may be feeling anxious right now, but please rest assured that I will handle this matter fairly. Next, I will ask you a few questions, and I hope you can answer them truthfully."
He paused slightly, adjusted his sitting posture, and continued, "What exactly happened between you and Teng Zijing seven years ago?
Please describe the incident in detail, including the time, place, and specific circumstances of the incident.
When Teng Zijing heard the old man asking An Yu such a direct question, his heart was filled with worry and pity.
He knew that those past events were unspeakable scars for An Yu. Girls are thin-skinned.
It was too cruel to ask her to reveal her pain in front of so many people.
So, he was extremely anxious and interrupted nervously without thinking: "Grandpa, can you let me tell you about the past?
An Yu is a girl. Just think about it, how can you expect her to speak in front of so many people?
The old man's originally serious face was now covered with a layer of frost, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
The old man was furious because he caused a disturbance at the scientific research base without considering the consequences and surrendered himself to the Public Security Bureau.
Now, in such a serious occasion, he dared to be so disrespectful and interrupted me openly. He was really disrespectful to his elders.
The old man glared at Teng Zijing coldly, then shouted sharply, "Adjutant, call two guards in."
Upon hearing this, the adjutant immediately understood and nodded, then turned around and walked towards the door with brisk steps.
He reached out and gently opened the door, then raised his voice and said, "You two come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards quickly walked into the room with firm and powerful steps, and came to the old man's bed in an orderly manner.
They stood straight, like two resolute statues, with solemn expressions on their faces. Then, they both raised their right hands in unison.
With five fingers together and arms extended, they saluted the old man solemnly and seriously, and said in a loud and uniform voice: "Commander, please give your instructions!"
The voice echoed in the quiet ward, demonstrating the dignity and obedience of the soldiers.
The old man's eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty, and he ordered without hesitation: "Teng Zijing is lawless and does not abide by the rules and regulations. Slap him in the face."
"Grandpa..." Teng Zijing's eyes widened, his face full of fear and disbelief. Before he could say anything else,
A guard quickly stepped forward and, with skillful and powerful movements, firmly grasped Teng Zijing's arms, preventing him from breaking free.
The other guard raised his hand mercilessly and slapped the man twice.
The two blows were so powerful that Teng Zijing felt a buzzing in his head, his eyes were spinning, his ears were buzzing, and a burning pain quickly spread to his cheeks.
At this moment, when An Yu saw this scene, she seemed to be instantly pulled back to that dark past.
The scene in Victoria's small dark room appeared in front of her eyes. Robert ordered people to whip Teng Zijing with a belt with a ferocious look on his face. The sound of the whipping seemed to echo in her ears again.
Fear and panic instantly enveloped her. Her voice trembled with nervousness as she hurriedly said, "Old leader, please stop. I'll tell you everything."
Teng Zijing slowly raised his head, his eyes full of guilt and apology, and looked at An Yu weakly, blood slowly flowing out from the corner of his mouth.
Trembling slightly, he murmured, "An'er, I'm sorry..." The voice seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart, carrying with it endless regret and self-blame.
An Yu's body trembled slightly. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her pounding heart.
There was a trace of pain and helplessness in her eyes as she slowly began to recount the painful past:
“Seven years ago, when we stepped into the School of Research, everything seemed so fresh and unfamiliar.
During a group tour of the school, the campus was bustling with activity. At this moment, a low and rhythmic roar of an engine broke the noise.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a brand new Maserati driving into the yard elegantly and ostentatiously like a silver cheetah.
The sunlight shone on the car body, reflecting a dazzling light, causing many girls around to scream in surprise, and the sound seemed to break through the sky.
Teng Zijing, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had an uninhibited smile on his face, and was obviously very satisfied with the sensation he had caused.
His eyes wandered through the crowd and landed on me. Perhaps because I wasn't looking at him with admiration like the other girls, but was standing calmly by the side, he actually walked straight towards me.
After walking in front of me, he tilted his head slightly, a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said:
"Hey, can't you see me, Master Jing? Why don't you even welcome me?" There was an inexplicable arrogance and frivolity in the tone.
I was very disgusted by his behavior, so I ignored him, frowned slightly, turned around and walked towards the dormitory, leaving him standing there alone.
Since then, he seemed to be possessed and came to harass me again and again.
Whether on the campus paths or in the corner of the library, you can always see him.
He would either try to look cool in front of me or find various excuses to talk to me, but I always turned a blind eye and felt disgusted with his behavior.
However, for some reason, my indifference did not seem to deter him.
Instead, it made him more and more interested in me. This feeling was like an invisible pressure that always enveloped me.
Finally, during a holiday, I packed my luggage and prepared to leave school.
When I just walked to the school gate, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of me and blocked my way.
It was Teng Zijing. He crossed his arms over his chest, still with that spoiled and domineering look on his face, and said:
"Hey, Xiaoyu, be my girlfriend! As long as you agree, I can give you anything you want." The tone seemed to indicate that in his eyes, everything in the world can be measured by material things.
At this moment, Qiu Beichen and several classmates were walking out of the school talking and laughing.
When I saw this scene, a light bulb went off in my head, as if I had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Without thinking, I grabbed Qiu Beichen's arm and said anxiously, "He is my boyfriend. Please stay away from me and don't bother me anymore, okay?"
After saying that, I ignored Qiu Beichen's confused face and hurriedly pulled him out of the school, leaving Teng Zijing standing there alone, with the expression on his face frozen in an instant.
