Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 218 Awakening from Dream
Before losing her balance, many thoughts flashed through Wei Qingsong's mind, but she couldn't grasp any of them in time. At the last moment, the only thing she thought of was that Lu Jingming... was still waiting for her.

In a flash, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, preventing her from falling.

Lu Jingming's hands were bulging with veins, and he felt a wave of fear wash over him.

If he had arrived any later, Wei Qingsong would have fallen to her death.

That was something he absolutely could not bear.

Chen Jin quickly stepped forward to help and pulled the person back to the platform.

Wei Qingsong forced himself to endure the nausea and discomfort caused by the dizziness and turned to look downstairs.

A large patch of blood spread out beneath the woman, resembling a blooming rose, its redness glaringly intense.

The fire and medical convoy finally arrived, and everyone rushed over to help lift the person onto the stretcher.

In an instant, countless fragments of memories flashed through Wei Qingsong's mind, constantly overlapping with the scene before her eyes.

A pool of blood, pus and grime, scattered limbs and mutilated bodies, and a devilish smile...

Is there still no way for her to make amends? Once again, someone dies before her eyes.

My head is spinning, my chest feels tight, and it feels like the sky and the earth are spinning.

Before her was Lu Jingming's magnified face, and she had never seen such a panicked expression on his face before.

A buzzing sound filled her ears, and she couldn't hear anything but his lips moving.

Until he completely lost consciousness.

……

Wei Qingsong had a very long dream.

In her dream, she didn't board the train to hell, but stayed at school and stayed with Lu Jingming.

They stayed together and spent six sweet and happy years together.

Wei Sihua and Yun Peilan were not implicated by her and stayed in Tangzhou. Their business flourished and the family prospered.

Lu Jinghuan didn't hold a grudge against her. Their relationship remained as good as before. They would sleep in the same bed and whisper and gossip.

Lu Jinghuan and Duan Wenlan, Shen Fu and Shen Yutong also met in chronological order, as if all good things had arrived as scheduled.

Like any ordinary couple, she and Lu Jingming went through their campus romance without experiencing the seven-year itch, remaining as loving as ever, and eventually walked hand in hand into the hall of marriage.

At the wedding, Wei Qingsong wore a pure white wedding dress and was surrounded by relatives and friends. She walked forward on the soft carpet, where Lu Jingming was waiting for her with flowers at the end.

But gradually, she realized something was wrong.

The long, white carpet didn't look very long, but it seemed like it would never end.

In the distance, the incandescent light shone on Lu Jingming's head, making his face blurry.

Wei Qingsong was startled and looked around—

Everyone wore a copy-paste smile, their lips curling up in an eerie way to reveal perfectly white teeth, which looked extremely creepy.

She ran forward anxiously, but after running for a long time, she still stopped in the same place.

She frantically called out Lu Jingming's name, but he stood motionless under the light.

Wei Qingsong suddenly stopped in his tracks.

No, if it were Lu Jingming, he would definitely run to her as soon as she called his name.

"Lu Jingming, Lu Jingming!"

With a terrified cry, Wei Qingsong suddenly woke up from his dream.

Her head was throbbing so badly it felt like it was going to explode. The two long-lost, worried and concerned faces in front of her made her feel disoriented, as if she were still dreaming.

She reached out to pat her head, but someone grabbed her arm. "Don't move, let the doctor take a look." The woman quickly told her husband behind her to go and call the doctor.

Time never defeats a beauty; her well-maintained face has only a few fine lines, which do not affect her beauty in the slightest.

Wei Qingsong stared at her blankly, muttering to himself, "Am I still dreaming?"

"This child has been unconscious for three days, and her brain has become dulled from the sleep." Yun Peilan sat down by the bed, took her hand, and looked at her with heartache.

It wasn't until Wei Sihua brought the doctor in that Wei Qingsong finally realized she wasn't dreaming.

"Dad, Mom, why are you back?"

“How can we be at ease if you go back to Tangzhou alone?” Yun Peilan said gently as always. “Your father rushed back home, stayed up several nights in a row, finished handling the overseas business, and booked the next available flight.”

"Who would have thought that when we got back we would find out that you almost fell off the roof and even fainted and had to be taken to the hospital. We were so worried."

Wei Qingsong then noticed that there were several suitcases in the ward. It seemed that her adoptive parents hadn't even had time to go home for the past three days and had been staying at the hospital to take care of her.

Lu Jingming, however, is not here.

Her looking around made Yun Peilan chuckle: "There's only one bed for the caregiver. Your dad and I can take turns sleeping for a while, but Jingming refused to close his eyes no matter what. He stayed up for two days and two nights and we just persuaded him to go back to rest last night."

Wei Qingsong's face flushed slightly, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

She originally planned to let Lu Jingming formally meet with her parents after they returned to Tangzhou.

Unexpectedly, they met in such a setting.

However, the two elders seemed quite satisfied with Lu Jingming.

After examining you, the doctor said, "You were hanging upside down for too long, which caused insufficient blood supply, heart failure, and shock. Fortunately, no blood vessels in your brain ruptured. There's nothing seriously wrong now. It's normal to feel headache and nausea after just waking up. Just rest and stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation."

Wei Qingsong nodded, but her mind was no longer on her physical condition.

She was unconscious for three days and didn't know how the fake Guan Wenhan was doing.

Wei Sihua and Yun Peilan cherish her like the apple of their eye. She has only just woken up, and they certainly won't agree to let her be discharged from the hospital early.

As expected, Wei Qingsong's tentative words were rejected by Wei Sihua: "Your task now is to rest well and take care of your health. Don't worry about work. Let your colleagues handle it."

Yun Peilan chimed in, "That's right. The world keeps turning no matter who's around. You just woke up and you're already going to work. What if you faint again? I don't agree to that."

Wei Qingsong had no choice but to agree, promising not to act as he pleased until he recovered.

In the evening, Lu Jingming arrived carrying a thermos.

Wei Sihua and Yun Peilan exchanged a glance and tacitly gave up their seats in front of the bed.

Lu Jingming politely greeted the two elders, set up the bed, and took out a fragrant seafood porridge from the thermos.

Yun Peilan craned her neck to take a look. The porridge was thick and creamy, with a perfect color, aroma, and taste. She winked at Wei Sihua with satisfaction.

This guy's not bad; he seems like the type to dote on his wife.

Not only is she good at cooking, but she is also incredibly meticulous, blowing on the porridge to bring it to the right temperature before handing it to Wei Qingsong.

Wei Qingsong sipped her porridge, but couldn't help asking about the case: "How is that woman now?"

Lu Jingming shook his head, his voice slightly deep: "The situation is not good."

"Although timely measures were taken, the homemade cushion was no match for a professional rescue airbag. The building was too high and the impact was too strong, so she fell onto the concrete floor."

"The ambulance arrived quickly and the rescue was timely, but... the result was not satisfactory. She is now in a vegetative state and it may be difficult for her to wake up again."

Wei Qingsong's heart sank.

The woman was determined to die, but fate had other plans, and she survived.

Living like this is no different from being dead.

The trail to the Liyang Hotel case ultimately ended here.
