"Among the Bellflowers" - Section 36

Shuang'er lay quietly on the hospital bed. There were three beds in the ward, but Shuang'er was the only patient.
My hand was bandaged, so I sat on the edge of the bed, watching her without stopping for a moment.
I wish I could watch her like this forever.
The hospital room window was open, revealing the moon in the sky, though its light was somewhat hazy, perhaps due to the moisture in the air. A gentle evening breeze caused the curtains to flutter softly, and the leaves outside rustled in the breeze. I looked at her, wanting to hold her hand; she was so beautiful, but I couldn't.
I can't touch her.
"Heh." I laughed. I was happy for her because Wu Tao had gone to rescue her tonight, and I knew someone was protecting her.
"That's good." Wu Tao should be alright, right? If he knew where Crazy Three came from, and he could have taken Shuang'er away in time, he would have saved her.
"But this matter is not over." This matter is not simple.
Why did Shuang'er appear at a bar she never goes to? Feng San'er went straight to her, as if he knew she would come; it was all a carefully planned trap.
"It won't end so easily." I still have a lot to do, and I have a lot to settle before I go to the juvenile detention center.
With a creak, the old door to the ward opened, and I heard many people talking outside. I looked out the door and saw at least five or six policemen.
Are they coming to arrest me?
But then Grandma walked in!
Director Liu was standing beside her, and he bent down to say to her, "Grandma, Jinzi only suffered minor injuries and has been treated." As he spoke, he led her toward me.
Grandma? He's calling his grandma "Grandma"?
"Thank you for your hard work," Grandma replied.
"No, it's all what Weimin should do."
I stood up and watched as Grandma walked towards me, but she didn't even glance at me.
Behind her were two men. One was "Tiger," a short, stocky man with a fierce face; the other, whom I had also seen before, was a burly man around sixty years old, known as "Hai Zi."
"Grandma," I said.
She ignored me and went straight to Shuang'er's bedside, right opposite me. She glanced sideways at Shuang'er's face.
"grandmother?"
No wonder.
"ah?"
She looked up at me and said, "No wonder you're so infatuated with me."
"What?...What...?" I was a little afraid to look at her.
She turned her head and said, "Tiger."
"Godmother."
What happened tonight?
"You mean, what we were discussing just now...?"
"Tell him." She gestured with her chin at me.
"Okay." The man nodded and said, "Tonight, a vicious fight broke out at a bar called Fibi in the development zone. The one who started it was a man named Zhang Quan, who was shot and killed by the police while fleeing. At that time, Xiao Yao happened to be passing by the bar entrance when several bottles flew out and injured him."
Huh? What is he saying?
Grandma said again, "Weimin."
"Grandma," Director Liu replied.
"is that so?"
"Yes, there are eyewitnesses who have testified for Jinzi. The lighting at the scene was dim, and very few people could see the whole process clearly. We searched all the mobile phones at the scene, but we didn't find any videos or photos."
"Yes," Grandma nodded, then added, "You must be careful."
"Grandma, don't worry, Weimin will personally handle every detail."
"That's good." Grandma turned to look at me and said, "Jinzi."
"Um."
"Did you hear me clearly?"
"Listen... um." I nodded.
"Tch," Grandma shook her head, seemingly extremely disappointed in me. She then seemed to suddenly remember something and introduced them to me: "This is your Uncle Lei, Lei Hu. This is your Uncle Liu, Liu Weimin. This is your Uncle Hai, Chen Hai. Thank them."
I quickly bowed to them and thanked them.
"Big sister," Chen Hai said, moving a chair over for her. "Please sit down, and we can talk about it slowly while you're seated."
"No need," she waved her hand, "I'm leaving right away, Jinzi, you come back with me."
"No, Grandma, I want to stay here..."
She glanced at Shuang'er: "You want to stay here with women?"
"I...I..." How should I reply to her?
"Fine, you decide for yourself, Weimin."
"grandmother."
"The follow-up issues must be handled properly."
"yes."
"cough."
"Grandma, don't worry, Weimin will handle it personally."
"Okay... Weimin, do you still remember Zhou Gen?"
"Hmm?...You mean, Zhou Gen from back then?"
"That's the one."
"Weimin remembers that in the 1990s, when the food factory went bankrupt, he gathered some young laid-off workers to form a gang. They committed robbery, extortion, rape, and forced prostitution. They would also break into the dormitory area of the machine tool factory at night to beat people up. They became a local tyrant. Once, he chased and slashed a worker on his motorcycle from the vegetable market to the factory area, causing a huge uproar in the city."
"What happened to Zhou Gen afterward?"
"Weimin remembers clearly that it was Brother Yong who personally carried a submachine gun and forced him to the banks of the Yangtze River before shooting him to death."
"Okay," Grandma nodded, then looked up at him and said, "Your brother Yong is now protecting the safety of the entire province. Tell me, if criminals aren't eliminated, how can public security improve?"
Liu Weimin suddenly looked startled and immediately said, "It's all because Weimin hasn't done his job well. Grandma is right, Weimin will definitely remember that!"
Huh? What are you all talking about? I can't understand a word you're saying.
Grandma gestured and said, "Let the children in."
"yes."
Liu Weimin opened the door to the ward and said a few words to the outside. Then, I saw Wu Tao and Wang Meng walk in.
What?! They…………
Wu Tao had injuries to his head and hands and had them bandaged, but Wang Meng was fine, which suggests that he protected her well at the time.
The two of them walked in, looking somewhat embarrassed. They stammered at the people in the room but didn't say anything.
"It's alright." Grandma waved to them, "Come on, we're leaving right away."
She smiled at them, her expression kind, completely different from before.
"Yes." Wu Tao and Wang Meng both nodded and bowed to their grandmother.
Let's go.
They walked toward the door. Chen Hai turned around, pointed at me, and said, "Jinzi, be more careful. Tonight, we've deployed over a hundred guns, all for you."
Huh? What?
They left the ward and slammed the door shut. Only Shuang'er, Wu Tao, and Wang Meng remained inside.
I know I'll feel awkward, but I don't have time to feel awkward because something's wrong, a lot of things are wrong.
They deployed over a hundred guns tonight for me? That's impossible. Uncle Chen, I'm not stupid.
My mind is very clear and is working at full speed right now.
When the police stormed into the bar, they came in from all directions, and there were so many of them that it was impossible for it to be an emergency response. You were lying in ambush there all along, weren't you?
But why did you say that? And in front of Wu Tao and Wang Meng? Weren't you saying it to them? Whom were you trying to convey this message to? And for what purpose?
Cover! Yes, this is cover. I am the cover, used to cover something truly important.
Grandma, what is so important that you need me to cover for you?
"Yao Jinzi..."
I looked up and saw Wu Tao looking at me.
"Ah... um."
"Is Hu Shuang'er alright?"
"Ah, she's fine, she just drank too much."
"oh."
The two of them walked to the bedside, and I said again, "The doctor said that I just need to sleep and get some IV fluids." I stepped back onto another bed and sat down.
Looking out the window, perhaps the evening breeze had dispersed the moisture, making the moonlight clearer. I couldn't help but walk to the window, gazing at the entire empty city as it slept. Lost in thought, I watched for a long time before hearing Wu Tao calling me.
"Um."
"Well... Yao Jinzi, we'll be going now. We'll visit Shuang'er at her house again tomorrow."
"...Oh." What? You're leaving, but leaving her with me? You're not worried? Wait a minute, you...
I was confused and didn't know how to ask: "This...that..."
"Is there anything else we can do to help?" he asked.
"Um..." How should I put it? Should I ask him what his relationship with Shuang'er is? "It's nothing."
"Okay, we'll be going now."
The two of them turned to leave, but Wang Meng suddenly stopped and said to me, "Yao, can't you... not go to Canada? Or... you can come back if you go."
"Um?"
"I mean... um... Shuang'er is in a lot of pain because of you..."
"Huh? That..."
My name is Wang Meng.
"Oh, I heard about it."
Wu Tao said, "My name is Wu Tao."
"Hello, I am Yao Jinzi. Zi is composed of the character for wood and the character for hard work."
"Hello."
"Hello."
What exactly is going on? I tentatively asked Wang Meng, "Um... excuse me, who are you...?"
"We are all Shuang'er's classmates," she said.
I asked again, "Then you...?"
Wu Tao pointed at Wang Meng and said, "I'm her boyfriend."
Wang Meng suddenly slapped him, feigning anger, and said, "Who gave you permission to say that!"
"Didn't you promise me yesterday?"
"That's true, but... you're not allowed to say that yet!"
"ah?"
"Honestly, you actually needed Shuang'er to speak for you yesterday. Are you really that cowardly?"
"oh."
"But you behaved alright tonight, so I'll let you off the hook!"
I stood aside watching them show their affection, and suddenly I understood a lot of things.
"Well then, Yao Jinzi, we'll be going now."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
I saw them out of the ward, closed the door, and walked back to sit next to Shuang'er.
"I'm such an idiot."
