Marriage in crisis

At night, before going to bed, I received a call from Wang Ling.

This was within my expectations. I had a feeling that Wang Ling would call me.

I picked up the phone, and she said directly, "Danni, I failed to complete the task you assigned to me! She still ended up dead!"

To be honest, I felt very uncomfortable when I heard Wang Ling's words! I didn't blame her for not completing the task, but I felt sad for her experience!

So, I comforted her, "Everyone has to walk their own path. You can't be blamed for this! Wang Lin is really not smart. She stubbornly thinks she can beat the Zhang family. She is too self-righteous! This is the destined ending."

Wang Ling laughed weakly, "Yeah! I thought she was moved by my advice last time, but all this... happened too quickly. Within half a year, three members of the Wang family died at the hands of the Zhang family. Danny! What else can I do?"

"You've done a good job, don't think about it!" I said, "This may be the greatest relief for Wang Lin. Although she doesn't want to die! But this path is her own choice."

"The look in her eyes when she looked at me for the last time...I may never forget it in my life. She was unwilling to give up!" Wang Ling said faintly, "But she doesn't deserve pity, really, she doesn't deserve pity!"

"Since you think so, there's no need to be sad!" I advised.

"Danni!" Wang Ling called me, and then said solemnly, "She... I always feel that the last thing she said when she looked at me was... did she leave something for me?"

When I heard her say this, I immediately asked, "Are you sure?"

"..." Wang Ling did not respond, but I was sure that she was thinking about the situation at that time.

After a long while, Wang Ling said with certainty, "It should be, but she didn't give me anything? From beginning to end, she didn't give me anything! How could she leave it for me?"

"Have you seen the things she left behind?" I asked Wang Ling.

"I checked. She didn't bring anything into the hospital since she was admitted. Just a bag with a few cosmetics, a cell phone, a wallet... nothing special. The police asked for my advice and opened everything. The cosmetics were removed, but there was nothing." Wang Ling said suspiciously, "Then how could she keep it?"

She still repeated the words.

"Hospital beds..."

"We checked it inch by inch. Even every steel pipe on the bed was checked!" said Wang Ling.

I was also a little puzzled, but I said to Wang Ling confidently, "According to the story, she should have something in her hands. After all, she has always been quite confident in wanting to negotiate with Zhang Jiasheng. If she doesn't have anything, where does she get this confidence from?"

"Yeah! I thought so too, but... where could the thing be?" Wang Ling muttered to herself.

"Does she have a safe or something like that in her original home?" I gave her a hint.

She told the truth, "To be honest, I really know very little about her. The last few times we met were the most I spoke to her in the past few years. Before she was in her prime, I couldn't talk to her at all. To be honest, the only people who could talk to her were Wang Ling and my mother!"

Wang Ling said this with a bitter smile, "My mother is a complete snob. In her eyes, Wang Lin is the most promising child. The reason why Wang Lin has ended up like this is also due to my mother. Wang Ling..."

She paused, and her tone suddenly became excited, "By the way...I have to go see Wang Ling tomorrow."

I was also shocked, "Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away!"

We hung up the phone after we finished talking, and then I called Shen Kuo and told him the situation, and Shen Kuo immediately agreed.

I didn't sleep well that night. I was haunted by nightmares. I also dreamed that I fell off the building and woke up screaming.

My mother-in-law quickly held me in her arms, and her warm embrace made me feel secure.

When I calmed down, she said softly, "It must have happened during the day. She was frightened by the images of Wang Lin and the others. She also said she wanted to see what Wang Lin looked like before she died. Wouldn't she be even more frightened?"

I snuggled into her arms and said with a wry smile, "Actually, I'm not afraid of death. It's just too unexpected! Everything happened so suddenly. I've been thinking about it the whole afternoon, so I had a nightmare!"
