The surroundings became quiet.

Ji Linlin looked at her with a strange smile.

"Shi Zhuo's story?" Su Qing spoke after a moment.

"Yes, Shi Zhuo's story, his..." Ji Linlin.

"If I want to know about Shi Zhuo, why don't I ask him directly, but instead find out from you?" Su Qing interrupted.

She was too familiar with the malice in Ji Linlin's eyes.

She was so familiar with him that she knew how much malicious fabrication he would add to the "story" without Ji Linlin even saying anything. If that was the case, why did she stay and listen to his nonsense?

Thinking of this, Su Qing turned around and was about to leave.

"Because you can't get a single word of truth from him! There is no way he will tell you the truth!" Ji Linlin shouted at Su Qing's back.

The rumored "Second Miss Su" was stupid and foolish, and was particularly easy to trust others. Ji Linlin thought that if he said this, the other party would fall into his rhythm and be led by him, but he didn't expect...

Ji Linlin was obviously angry and humiliated.

Su Qing snorted disdainfully.

She didn't know whether she could get the truth from Shi Zhuo. But she knew that she would definitely not get a single word of truth from Ji Linlin.

but……

"Shi Zhuo killed someone?"
Sitting in the sports car, Su Qing couldn't help but ponder Ji Linlin's words, "Is it true or false?"

She should have just said "fake" without thinking, but past experience told her that sometimes, the more bizarre the answer, the more likely it is.

After all, reality is much less logical than stories.

"boom--"

Su Qing put on sunglasses and drove out of the parking lot in his sports car. He was about to find a park to sit for a while before going to keep his appointment tonight.

As a result, when she drove out of the parking lot, she saw Shi Zhuo, who was supposed to be working in the Helen Club, hurriedly changed his clothes, ran to the intersection, stopped a car and left.

"Huh? Doesn't he still have a job?" Su Qing wondered.

Furthermore, she remembered that Shi Zhuo's financial situation was not very good, and he was very frugal. He would not take the bus if he could walk, and would not take a taxi if he could take the bus...

The last time she saw him taking a taxi was when he invited her to the Chengqiang District to eat wontons.

Why are you in such a hurry? Could you have run into some trouble?
Su Qing was thinking about Shi Zhuo's abnormality while thinking about Ji Linlin's previous words. When she reacted, she found that she had secretly caught up with him.

Fortunately, she was wearing sunglasses, so Shi Zhuo had not seen her car. In addition, Shi Zhuo was obviously distracted and did not notice the red sports car following behind her.

So just like that, Su Qing followed Shi Zhuo to the downstairs of the hospital.

Seeing this familiar hospital, Su Qing was surprised. Wasn't this the hospital where Su Qi had been injured in a car accident and stayed?
When Su Qing saw the Omega get off the car and hurried into the hospital's inpatient department, a look of confusion flashed across his face.

What is Shi Zhuo doing here in the inpatient department?
Anyone you know here?

She remembered that although the medical level of this private hospital was good, the cost was not low.

Isn't Shi Zhuo an orphan? Does he know the patients here?

With some doubts, Su Qing parked the sports car in the hospital parking lot, and then walked towards the hospital's inpatient department in the direction where Shi Zhuo had disappeared before.

Su Qing took the elevator upstairs.

When she reached the third floor, she ran into Shi Zhuo and a man dressed as a doctor, standing near the stairs and talking.

"Your great aunt..."
Su Qing only heard the doctor say this to Shi Zhuo.

Aunt?
Isn’t Shi Zhuo an orphan?
What about my aunt?

From what the doctor said to Shi Zhuo, his aunt had been transferred to this hospital for a while, and it seemed that someone had helped her...

"Is there really a chance of waking up?" Shi Zhuo asked.

Although he was excited inside, he couldn't show it on his face, but his clenched hands betrayed him.

Su Qing could not hear the rest of the words, because as soon as she heard that Shi Zhuo had other relatives, she turned around and took the elevator downstairs.

"The chance of waking up in the near future has increased from 30% to 80%," said the doctor.

The corners of Shi Zhuo's mouth rose up quickly, and then were quickly pressed down again.

It turned out to be the right decision to transfer my aunt here.

Shi Zhuo thought.

Then he asked, "How much money will be needed later?"

The doctor told him not to worry about the money, as "Mr. Ming" had already paid all subsequent treatment costs.

Mr. Ming?
Shi Zhuo thought of the mysterious man he had met in that luxurious manor before.

For a moment, there was silence.

Shi Zhuo went to the ward with the doctor to visit his aunt again and asked about the follow-up treatment plan for his aunt's condition. After the doctor left, Shi Zhuo sat beside his aunt's bed, looking at the unconscious old man on the bed, and slowly told her what had happened around him recently:

"You know what? I saw 'Swan' again today. She praised me for being simple and kind, and said that she likes simple and kind Omegas. Do you think she likes me? Even if it's just a little bit..."

Shi Zhuo sat there for two hours.

By the time he came out of his aunt's ward, it was almost 5pm. Shi Zhuo met the nurse who was taking care of his aunt at the entrance of the inpatient department, chatted with her for a while, and prepared to go to the door to take the bus to leave. Tonight, he also had a part-time job in the bar street.

However, when he passed the parking lot, he accidentally saw Su Qing standing under a big tree.

Su Qing was wearing a camel-colored wool coat and had smooth black curly hair. She stood quietly under the tree with her head tilted back, not knowing what she was looking at.

A gust of wind blew up the curly hair behind her, making her look peaceful and dreamy.

As if aware of something, Su Qing, who was standing under the tree, turned around, took off the sunglasses on his nose, and smiled at Shi Zhuo: "What a coincidence, you are here too."

Shi Zhuo glanced at her, then looked at the red sports car not far behind her, and something flashed quickly in his eyes.

Shi Zhuo paused for a moment, then walked towards her and stood two meters away from her: "What a coincidence, Sister Su Qing."

He didn't expose her lie.

However, Su Qing didn't seem to have really thought about hiding it from him.

She raised her sunglasses and scratched her head with the legs of the sunglasses. She said to Shi Zhuo a little embarrassedly: "Actually, it's not a coincidence. I followed you here."

He said sorry but his face was full of smiles.

Shi Zhuo's black and white eyes were obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Su Qing to suddenly tell him the truth. But after the initial daze, he quickly recovered and smiled at her again: "You don't have to be so honest with me."

"I came here on impulse, but I decided to stay after careful consideration."

Su Qing looked at him and put away her lazy smile. She looked down at the time on her phone and asked Shi Zhuo, "Do you have time to talk to me about yourself?"

I don’t know if I can still catch the blind date arranged by Old Lady Wang?
As for whether to stay?
Su Qing hesitated.

In the end, she chose to stay because she didn't want to be deceived, or she didn't want to be treated as a fool, and she didn't want Shi Zhuo to be the "villain in the story". She decided to find Shi Zhuo to ask him for clarification.

About his past, about what Ji Linlin called "harming people".

She doesn't like guessing.

If you have any questions, it’s better to talk them out in person.

Shi Zhuo didn't expect Su Qing to be so direct. After a moment of stunned silence, he nodded: "Okay."

So Su Qing took him to a nearby park.

At this time, there were not many people in the park. Su Qing and Shi Zhuo found a secluded pavilion and sat down.

"Sister Su Qing, what do you want to ask?" Shi Zhuo looked at her solemnly.

Seeing his serious expression, Su Qing suddenly realized that her attitude just now seemed to have frightened him. She quickly waved her hand and explained: "It's not a big deal, don't be nervous. I just happened to hear your conversation with the doctor today, and I found out that you have an aunt..."

After hearing her say this, Shi Zhuo calmed down his nervousness.

He thought, thought...

Not good.

Su Qing followed him to the hospital and accidentally saw what happened to his aunt. She wondered if he had other relatives?
After figuring it out, Shi Zhuo thought about it for a while and said carefully: "Sister Su Qing is curious, why have you never heard me mention that I have an aunt?"

"Ah? Yes, that's right, that's it." Shi Zhuo found a way for Su Qing to back down, and Su Qing followed suit.

Shi Zhuo raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a few white teeth, looking pure and well-behaved: "Actually, Sister Su Qing, the person you saw was not my biological aunt. There is no blood relationship between her and me."

"what?"
This time, Su Qing was really curious, "Did you recognize him?"

"I guess so." Shi Zhuo nodded.

He told her that they met out of town.

"I forgot whether I told Sister Su Qing that I came from outside the city, outside of City C."

Shi Zhuo raised his head, his pair of black and white eyes looked at Su Qing quietly, "That is, the other side of the high city wall. I came from outside."

"Outside the city walls?"
Su Qing's mind emerged the night when Shi Zhuo invited her to eat wontons. They went to the city wall area and saw the majestic and dangerous city wall from afar in the night.

Just one glance from a distance made her feel a fear of the giant.

What if you stand under the city wall?

What kind of feeling is it?
Small, fearful, and repressed.

Su Qing fantasized.

People living in City C rarely pay attention to the wall.

She had been to the vicinity of the wall and had seen it from afar, but she was only impressed by its height and size. She never thought about why there was such a wall.

What is the wall protecting against, or defending against? What is its significance?
In such a peaceful and beautiful modern environment, wouldn’t it be strange to have a wall like that?

Unfortunately, neither the people living in City C nor the books pay much attention or write much to describe that wall.

Even the doubts that emerged in Su Qing's mind at this moment were like a shooting star, fleeting.

In the blink of an eye, Su Qing forgot all the doubts about the "wall". The only thing left in his mind was what Shi Zhuo said, that he came from outside City C.

"Outside the city wall? You came from outside? What about your aunt?" Su Qing looked at him.

"My great aunt is different from me. She is from City C. Because of different ideas from her family, she left City C with a group of like-minded friends. In an accident later, her spiritual sea was severely damaged..." Shi Zhuo told Su Qing about that distant past.
