Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 772 Luo Qiang Awakens
Upon hearing this, Su Miaomiao turned around in surprise.

"Why...so suddenly? Is there news from over there?"

Zheng Yifeng shook his head: "I just can't stand this kind of waiting anymore. I could wait before because I had no other choice, but now that there's some progress, why should I keep waiting here?"

"I'm afraid that even if they find him there, they won't be able to bring him back. His family will need to be present. After all these years, is it really possible to investigate a case for this long? Maybe he doesn't want to come back. If he sees me, I'm sure he'll waver a little..."

When it comes to Zheng Yifeng's father, Su Miaomiao always plays the role of a listener and someone who offers advice; she never tries to influence Zheng Yifeng's decisions.

Su Miaomiao stepped forward: "So, are you going this holiday? Or..."

Zheng Yifeng: "The sooner the better, but I don't know how long I'll have to stay."

What will happen when school starts?

"I need to take a long leave of absence."

She didn't say anything more, looked up at Zheng Yifeng, paused for a moment, then opened her arms and gently hugged him.

Su Miaomiao made what she thought was a humorous joke: "It's up to you. Just don't disappear. I'm not waiting for you."

Zheng Yifeng didn't laugh, but opened his arms and hugged her.

"In that case, I'll start preparing for my trip abroad tomorrow."

Su Miaomiao remained silent and hugged him even tighter.

……

Night falls, in Happiness Lane.

Ever since she vomited after eating chicken legs last night, Lu Douqing has been in a daze all day, essentially sleeping all day, and hasn't even had a chance to go to the hospital to see her younger brother.

She learned her lesson tonight; she emptied her bladder before going to bed and locked the door from the inside, determined not to be tormented by the strange old man again.

Turning off the light and rolling up the blanket into the shape of "Bai Qingxia" as usual, Lu Douqing had just lain down when the door lock suddenly clicked.

Her eyes widened instantly.

The strange old man has a room key!

Ahhhhh! Qiuqiu, save me!
"Xiaxia, today is New Year's Day. Did you perform in class?" Bai Songzhe walked to the bedside, asking as he went. After sitting down, he raised his rough hand and gently stroked Lu Douqing's head.

Lu Douqing hugged the quilt, looking worried: "Today is not New Year's Day, today is July 23rd."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Bai Songzhe's hand and saw the key. Just as she was about to reach out and take it, Bai Songzhe naturally put the key into his pants pocket, leaving Lu Douqing's small hand empty.

Lu Douqing_(`」∠)
Bai Songzhe sighed and said to himself, "I don't think you're the type to perform in front of so many people."

"I bet that little bald guy is like you."

"It snowed this afternoon, and the snow was really heavy. Dad was sitting on the flower bed outside waiting for you when that little bald guy suddenly ran out of the school gate with a guitar in his arms, saying he wanted to perform his carefully rehearsed New Year's Day program for me."

"He was probably too embarrassed to perform in class, but it's good that at least his dad won't be bored outside."

Lu Douqing pouted and started chatting idly with Bai Songzhe: "What did he perform?"

Thankfully, today's game was just for chatting.

Baek Song-cheol smiled as he recounted what had happened "in the afternoon": "He sang me a song called 'Darkness Falls,' which was quite nice. It's a pity you weren't there."

...At nine o'clock the next morning, Luo Qiang was wheeled out of the intensive care unit on time and transferred to a regular ward, a private room that had been specially arranged for him.

Lu Yuanqiu felt that his judgment might be wrong. He and Bai Qingxia had been guarding the vicinity of the intensive care unit until midnight last night. Cao Shuang and Long Liandong left at 6 pm. During the process, none of them found any suspicious people or situations.

Lu Yuanqiu also asked Luo Qiang's mother if anyone had approached her or called her that day. The landlady replied that no one had, and reiterated that she would persuade Luo Qiang to cooperate with the police investigation once he woke up the next day.

Everything was normal, but Lu Yuanqiu's question made Luo Qiang's mother nervous.

In the private ward, Lao Song and others had been waiting there for a long time. When Bai Qingxia helped Lu Yuanqiu over, Lu Yuanqiu saw a strange man in plain clothes standing there. He looked to be in his early thirties.

When Lao Song saw Lu Yuanqiu, he introduced him: "Xiao Qiu, this is Captain Li. He's in charge of this case now."

Captain Li extended his hand: "Hello, my name is Li Hua."

"My name is Han Meimei, oops, my name is Lu Yuanqiu, and I'm Bai Qingxia's boyfriend." Lu Yuanqiu quickly corrected himself and shook hands with him.

Li Hua smiled at Lu Yuanqiu. He was from the criminal investigation team and should have been looking at Bai Qingxia, since she was a relative of the deceased. However, he curiously looked at Lu Yuanqiu.

Li Hua knew this case was unusual, not because the deceased was particularly special, but because the client had a powerful background. Therefore, the entire case filing process proceeded quickly and efficiently.

Even the head of the local police station came to the scene; this was the first time Li Hua had ever seen such a thing.

He had already learned the general details of the case from Director Song, and now he was just waiting for the witness named Luo Qiang to tell them in detail what happened on the night of the car accident.

As long as he remembers.

In fact, Li Hua didn't have much hope, because ten years had passed, and he had inspected the alleyway himself. It was still dimly lit at night, let alone ten years ago.

"Is Luo Qiang awake?"

Luo Qiang's mother quickly responded, "His eyes have been open the whole time."

After she finished speaking, she looked at her son and said to Luo Qiang, who was lying on the hospital bed, "Son, didn't you see that car accident back then? What do you remember? Tell me everything you remember."

Lu Yuanqiu looked at Luo Qiang lying on the bed. The guy was visibly weak, wearing an oxygen mask, his eyes were somewhat lifeless, his chest was heaving, and he seemed to be having some difficulty breathing.

Captain Li then gestured for two team members to step forward. Lu Yuanqiu glanced at them and saw that one of them was responsible for taking notes, while the other was holding a drawing board. Was he drawing a portrait?

Li Hua: "Don't rush to think about it. First, briefly describe what happened and try to recall it."

Luo Qiang didn't say a word, just stared blankly at the ceiling, making his mother anxious.

She wanted to take this opportunity to resolve her son's long-standing emotional distress.

Li Hua asked a few more questions, but Luo Qiang remained silent. Just as he was at his wit's end, a voice came from beside Lu Yuanqiu.

"Luo Qiang."

Bai Qingxia spoke up.

Lu Yuanqiu noticed that Luo Qiang's lifeless eyes suddenly moved. He shouldn't remember Bai Qingxia's voice. He must have guessed what the young woman's voice was in the room. Luo Qiang turned his head and looked over, his eyes widening slightly.

His mouth opened, and a tear rolled down his cheek: "Xia..."

Lu Yuanqiu gestured to Bai Qingxia, who nodded and walked step by step to the bedside.

Her eyes reddened unexpectedly, and she asked the person lying on the bed in a low voice, "Tell me what happened in the alley back then..."
