shadow in daylight gl

The steam was steaming in the kitchen, the delicious little chicken was stewed in the purple clay pot, and the sweet and soft chiffon cake scent permeated from the kitchen to the living room. Jiang Mu was busy in the kitchen, urging An Chengyan beside him from time to time.

"Honestly, you wash the fruit and cut it up."

"Where's the tea? Where did you put the tea I asked you to bring back from abroad last month?"

"By the way, you go upstairs and take out the tea set I kept."

An Chengyan held the fruit basket in his hand, stood by the sink and looked at her, couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Jiang, you have explained so much, which one should I make first?"

Jiang Mu shot him a look: "You still have time to sit on the sofa and read the newspaper."

"Isn't it still early?"

Jiang Mu signaled An Chengyan to get out of the way, and said seriously, "Morning? It's almost five o'clock."

She lowered her head and turned on the faucet, speeding up her movements to wash the vegetables.An Chengyan took the initiative to hand her a plate: "I didn't see you being so caring about Xiao Xu's birthday before."

Jiang Mu frowned, with an unnatural expression on his face, and said firmly: "What kind of birthday, I just asked them to go home for a meal."

An Chengyan looked at a table full of dishes, and said in a gentle tone to cooperate with his wife: "Oh~ Then let's have a light meal."

The cool tap water rushed down her wrist to the vegetable leaves, Jiang Mu was slightly lost. Since when did she accept the feelings of the two children, she herself couldn't tell.

Maybe it was because she saw them trying so hard to get her consent, and she couldn't help but soften her heart; maybe it was because she had lingering fears after learning about the Lin family's affairs; maybe it was because she received Lu Linzhong's blessings from Lu Linzhong again and again during the festival, from the very beginning. Bolan was later moved by Lu Linzhong's persistence and sincerity; perhaps she heard Lu Linzhong's thoughtfulness and understanding from her parents, from deliberately ignoring to gradually being relieved; maybe she gave Lu Linzhong a grievance, but Lu Linzhong never had any kindness to her Complain, and even understand her from her standpoint.

What Lu Linzhong did was impeccable, the reason why he didn't nod all the time, wasn't it all because An Huaixu, an ignorant child, always guarded Lu Linzhong blindly in front of her and An Chengyan, and his daughter actually put her As a tigress who wants to eat people, she is not as unreasonable as her daughter thinks.

The last time she and An Chengyan went back to the southern suburbs to visit the old man, she heard the old man mentioned that Lu Linzhong's birthday was the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, so she deliberately made preparations, asked about Lu Linzhong's favorite dishes, and thought of calling two juniors in advance Having dinner and giving Lu Linzhong a brief birthday is to make up for what she owed Lu Linzhong for so long.

Although it can't make up for anything, at least she let go first.

The two were busy in the kitchen for another hour, and finally finished the dinner, it was past six o'clock.

Jiang Mu was fidgeting in the living room, An Chengyan comforted him, "Xiao Xu is working in the law firm today, so he should be here soon."

"I know! Who said I was in a hurry."

"I didn't say you were in a hurry."

Jiang Mu put down the teacup in his hand unhappily, and the bottom of the cup touched the top of the coffee table, making a crisp "Dang" sound, and An Chengyan silently erected the newspaper.

The living room fell silent for a while.

The hour bell rang again, and the western sky turned from red to twilight purple.

"It's seven o'clock, why don't you come back." Jiang Mu paced back and forth in the living room uneasy, couldn't help picking up the phone on the side table, and put it down coyly.

There was a boring advertisement in the TV program. An Chengyan put down the newspaper, picked up the remote control, tuned to Jincheng Satellite TV, and pretended to be casual: "Call one, it's getting late."

Jiang Mu cleared his throat, sat for a few seconds, awkwardly picked up the receiver and dialed the phone.

"Doo-doo-doo-sorry, the number you dialed is off."

Jiang Mu put the receiver back to its original position, and said uneasyly: "Xiao Xu's phone is turned off, why is she turned off, child."

"Off—" An Chengyan was just about to speak when a screeching sound of brakes on the TV caught his attention.

A quick news was inserted on the TV: "At 5:27 this afternoon, a major traffic accident occurred on Jinqiao in our city. A large truck collided with a black car and caused a series of rear-end collisions. The scene of the accident has been completely sealed off. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.”

The surveillance footage of the car accident scene was played back on the TV. A large truck loaded with goods approached a black car to the right. The black car dexterously avoided it and drove into the rightmost lane.The large truck not only failed to maintain the distance between the two vehicles, but also stepped on the gas pedal. The two cars scratched each other, and the black car quickly wiped out. The large truck speeded up and directly hit the car body. .

An Chengyan watched the news on TV, "There was a rear-end collision on the Jin Bridge, maybe they got stuck on the bridge or took a long detour, wait a minute."

Jiang Mu felt uneasy, and said doubtfully, "Really?"

A strong tremor echoed in the living room, piercing the sensitive nerves of the two of them.

An Chengyan's phone lit up, he picked up the phone, pointed to the screen, "It's Zhongxuan's phone."

Jiang Mu frowned, and sat back on the sofa anxiously.

"Final Xuan?"

"uncle."

The voice on the other end of the phone was a little hoarse, An Chengyan frowned: "What's wrong, Zhong Xuan?"

"Are Uncle and Aunt Jiang waiting for Huai Xu?"

"Yes, I told her to go home earlier, but she hasn't arrived yet."

"Then can you contact her? I have something to ask her."

"Xiao Xu? Your Aunt Jiang called her just now, but her phone was turned off. We can't get in touch for the time being."

After a long silence, Xu Zhongxuan whispered: "There is news, you must calm down when you know."

An Cheng said anxiously: "What news?"

"Tonight, there was a car accident on Jinqiao."

An Chengyan's eyelids twitched, and he asked anxiously, "I saw the news, what's wrong?"

After a few seconds of silence, Xu Zhongxuan's voice was choked with sobs: "A car fell into the river, and the person in the car was——Lu Linzhong."

Hearing this, An Chengyan stood up abruptly.

Jiang Mu then stood up and supported him: "What's wrong? What happened?"

An Chengyan looked at the TV screen, which was still showing the surveillance footage of the accident scene. After a few minutes of chaos, the large truck suddenly started and rushed towards the black car. He climbed over the guardrail beside the bridge, drew an arc in the air, and dived straight down.

A reporter broadcast a report on TV: "As far as we know, there was a woman in the truck and the black car that fell into Jinhe."

An Chengyan's face turned pale.

Jiang Mu looked at the TV following An Chengyan's gaze, and asked nervously, "What's going on? Talk to me."

"Zhu Xuan said that Xiao Lu had a car accident."

With an unbelievable expression on Jiang Mu's face, she tightened her husband's hand, "To be honest, don't scare me."

An Chengyan hung up the phone, took a thin coat and put it on Jiang Mu's shoulders: "Let's go, let's go to the District Public Security Bureau first, and Zhongxuan is there."

The two drove directly to the police. On the way, Jiang Mu kept calling An Huaixu, and the phone was always turned off.An unforeseen feeling permeated her heart more and more.

A desolate figure sat in the cold and serious office of the District Public Security Bureau. Xu Zhongxuan frowned, watching the time pass by with a solemn expression.

Half an hour ago, Xu Zhongxuan received a call from the police, asking if she was the owner of the ZX999, and asked her to come to the District Public Security Bureau immediately.

After arriving at the District Public Security Bureau, a staff member received her, and after confirming the vehicle information with her repeatedly, he transferred the surveillance camera of the road where the accident happened to Xu Zhongxuan.

"Can you confirm the identity of the person in the car?"

The police handed Xu Zhongxuan a few photos and said, "We have retrieved the photos taken by the electronic probe at the intersection of traffic lights before going up the bridge, and see if you can recognize them."

Xu Zhongxuan took the photo, and the person in the passenger seat turned his head to look out the window, and he could only tell from the outline that it was a young woman.

Is it An Huaixu?

The man in the driver's seat rested his hands on the steering wheel casually and looked straight ahead. After working together for a year, she recognized Lu Linzhong at a glance.

There was a dull pain in her heart, and she said in a hoarse voice, "I know."

"Are you a family member?"

"I'm not."

"Can you contact the family?"

Xu Zhongxuan called An Huaixu, but the phone was always turned off.She didn't know whether An Huaixu's parents had accepted Lu Linzhong, but she didn't know the contact information of Lu Linzhong's family members, and she wasn't sure if she had any family members in China. After careful consideration, she called An Chengyan as a last resort.

"According to eyewitnesses at the scene, a young woman was in the driver's seat of the car that fell into the river. After the car fell into the river, someone jumped from the river. The person in the passenger seat was unconscious on the spot and is currently being rescued in the hospital."

Xu Zhongxuan's heart tightened, and hurried footsteps sounded not far away.

She stood up vigilantly, and when she saw Jiang Mu and An Chengyan, she hurried forward to meet him, Jiang Mu was frightened by Xu Zhongxuan's pale face, grabbed her hand, and asked tremblingly, "Zhongxuan, where is Lu Linzhong? How is the situation now?"

Xu Zhongxuan was at a loss for words and didn't know how to start.

An Chengyan held his wife's shoulders steady: "Xiao Mu, don't scare Zhong Xuan, let's listen to what the police say."

The staff gave Xu Zhongxuan a look: "Is this a family member?"

Xu Zhongxuan nodded, and the staff member pulled the doorknob of the office and pushed it in: "Please come in."

Jiang Mu was in a state of confusion, looking helplessly at her husband beside her.A thin layer of sweat oozed from An Chengyan's head, his face turned pale, and he still walked in front.

Xu Zhongxuan stretched out his hand to support Jiang Mu, and walked in with them: "Aunt Jiang, let's go in first."

"Sit down first." The staff turned on the computer, "It's like this, there was a major traffic accident on Jinqiao at 27:999 this afternoon. A black Porsche with the license plate number ZX[-] was hit by a large truck into Jinhe. Here, Ms. Xu is the owner of the car, but the driver of the car at that time was someone else."

Jiang Mu looked at Xu Zhongxuan.

Xu Zhongxuan said sadly, "It's Lu Linzhong."

"Lin Zhong..." Jiang Mu's voice was dry and hoarse.

An Chengyan cleared his mind, grasped the key point and asked, "Where are the people in the car?

Did you find it? "

Jiang Mu looked expectantly at the staff, who didn't know how to answer for a while.

"That's it. After the rescue vehicle arrived at the scene, it started salvage immediately, but there is no news yet. We will notify the family members as soon as there is progress."

"Xiao Xu, where is Xiao Xu?" Jiang Mu helplessly grabbed Xu Zhongxuan's hand, "Zhongxuan, have you contacted Xiao Xu?"

"I..." Xu Zhongxuan's voice was weak: "Huai Xu's phone is turned off, and I can't contact her."

Jiang Mu sat on the chair blankly, unable to recover for a long time.

"There is also a young woman in the passenger seat of the black Porsche." The staff member frowned and said words sharper than a knife in a flat tone.

There is one more person.

Jiang Mu and An Chengyan looked up at the same time.

The staff glanced at them and turned on another surveillance video on the computer: "After the accident, the person in the passenger seat got out of the car, please come over to confirm."

The screen cuts to the opening of the passenger seat. The girl in white and black pants is limping, holding the body around the front of the car, trying to open the door of the driver's seat.

An Chengyan held Jiang Mu tightly with one hand and supported the table with the other. The two of them almost saw a hole in the screen.

The large truck that had stopped suddenly started and rushed towards the black Porsche. The two vehicles broke through the guardrail beside the bridge one after the other.

"Ah." The scene was very tragic, Jiang Mu covered his lips and let out a cry.

Staff member: "The young woman who got out of the car fell into a coma on the spot and is currently being treated in the hospital. We invited a few of you here to go to the hospital to confirm your identity."

An Chengyan stared at the screen, anxiously said: "Can I confirm it now?"

The staff nodded: "The hospital called just now, the injured have been rescued, and a few can go to the hospital now."

The sweltering summer night made people feel anxious. The staff took them directly to the Affiliated Hospital of Jinhua University. There was a row of unfamiliar faces standing outside the emergency operating room. The footsteps of several people echoed in the corridor of the hospital.

One click, one click, heavy and depressing.

The staff walked in the front, and the simple conversation of several people echoed in the corridor.

"How is the person? Are you awake?"

"Just finished the operation, didn't wake up, came to confirm the identity?"

The staff who brought them over nodded, and the people who were blocking the single room moved out of the way.

"You can come in." A doctor came out of the ward with a nurse, and An Chengyan led Jiang Mu into the ward together. Xu Zhongxuan stood at the door for two seconds, but still took a step to keep up.

White sheets and quilts, white pillows, white walls, and even the labels on the bottles are emotionless white.The head and hands of the person lying on the hospital bed were covered with layers of gauze, his complexion was as pale as paper, his hands rested on the bedding, except for a little space left on the back of his left hand where the needle was inserted, other places were thick Gauze, even on ten fingers.

The severe pain spread from the limbs to the heart, and then rushed to the limbs with the beating of the heart. Lin Yucen was still frowning uncomfortably in a coma.

She was vain all over, and helplessly tugged on the car door, one time, one time, with all her strength, the gap was still only two fingers wide.

"Lu Linzhong, wake up."

She vigorously wiped away the tears on her face, the blood on her hands was sticky, and her vision became blurred again.She was running out of energy, how could she waste her energy to shed tears.

She wants to save people, she wants to save people.

Who told her how to save?

Why does she always have to face such difficult choices alone?She really wanted to escape, to hide, to cry like a child willfully.

After her father was imprisoned, she had to make a difficult choice between losing her father's life's hard work and losing her brother; when her brother went to find Chen Rui, she had to choose between killing her family righteously and losing her brother; everyone threw the burden on her, and no one Ask her if she wants it, if she wants it.

Everyone is lamenting that she is tenacious, decisive, mature, sharp, and a qualified superior.She is so tired, why no one understands how tired she is.

Now, the person in front of her is dying, she doesn't know what to do, this time she feels that she can't do anything well.

Tears were mixed with blood on Lin Yucen's face, and there was deep sadness in his eyes, "What can I do to save you, teach me."

Lu Linzhong struggled to open his eyes, unable to dissuade him.

The sound of an engine suddenly sounded not far away, and Lin Yucen looked back in a panic, as if he had been exhausted in an instant.She grabbed the car door emptyly, looked at the truck like a walking dead, and burst into tears: "Don't, don't...Mom!"

The sound of the engine was getting closer.

"let go--"

"I do not!"

Lu Linzhong's brows trembled slightly, his eyes became lonely, and he sighed silently, as if he didn't hear her stubborn persistence.

"Let go."

Just before the truck hit her, she was pushed away by Lu Linzhong, rolled backward twice, her skin rubbed against the rough ground, and a large area was scratched. She didn't feel any pain, only that she couldn't breathe.

Two cars passed by her eyes quickly, and she saw a drop of tear suddenly rolling down from the corner of Lu Linzhong's eye, the extremely crystal clear tear ran across that bright and unparalleled face, and rolled down into a bead.

The world is far away, everything is silent, only Lu Linzhong's soft smile and tears are left.

The moment the truck hit, the moment the body rushed out of the guardrail and fell.What is Lu Linzhong thinking?

Do you think of the wife who was waiting at home, do you think of the attachment of the two before leaving, do you think of them holding milk tea together in front of the square reluctantly leaving and then look back, do you think of the promise of each other between them, do you think of the person who heard The slight dimples at the corners of the mouth when talking about love, do you think of the sweetness when they conceived the wedding together.

A ring flew out of the car window and landed in her hand. After flicking it twice, the small and crisp sound was lost in the loud crash of the engine.

She picked up the ring with trembling hands.

Is this an entrustment from Lu Linzhong?

Ask her to take good care of An Huaixu.

She wanted to refuse, she wanted Lu Linzhong to survive, the surging river, such a serious injury, the second violent impact, and the car body sinking sharply.

Is there any chance of survival?

Someone in the distance called: "Six Six."

She seemed to have heard An Huaixu's voice.

Is it her hallucination?

But the blurry figure that appeared in front of her was real.

"Where's the person? Where's Lu Linzhong?!"

Her mind was buzzing, she only knew that An Huaixu was yelling at her, probably asking Lu Linzhong.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

She thought that she would never forget the decisive look in An Huaixu's eyes when she looked at her.

She pulled An Huaixu's leg with all her strength, and An Huaixu fell to the ground, resolutely facing the gap in the guardrail.

"Don't jump."

She was heartbroken.

Once again, like before, she had to make a calm and rational choice.She couldn't be controlled by her emotions, she couldn't let An Huaixu jump off with her, and she couldn't let Lu Linzhong down.

"Six-six—" An Huaixu's heart-piercing cry, Lu Linzhong couldn't hear it, only the sound of the river's turbulence echoed the river wind.

"Don't jump!" she pleaded.

She didn't know where An Huaixu got so much strength to drag her forward inch by inch.

"You let me go!"

"Don't jump, don't jump..."

An Huaixu's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at her and begged her to let go.

She knew how cruel it was for her to grab An Huaixu, but she had to do it, the place where she could see was blurred and dim, and her consciousness followed, she was afraid that she would fail Lu Linzhong.

"she--"

"Lin Yucen, let go!"

There was a scorching heat on the back of his hand, tears rolled down An Huaixu's eyes, and he was still muttering: "I'm going to save her."

save her.

They all knew it was impossible, and no one was willing to admit it was impossible.

This river took away An Huaixu's true love, the cruel truth was like a sharp sword, she really couldn't bear to stab An Huaixu again, but she wanted An Huaixu to live.

She still made up her mind and said to An Huaixu, "It's impossible to survive."

I was in a trance.

An Huaixu broke free from her.

"She is so afraid of water, let me accompany her."

"I'm going to accompany her!"

She rushed over to grab it, but only touched An Huaixu's fingertips, and the identical ring slipped past her hand.

Ring.

Lin Yucen clenched his hands subconsciously, the palms were empty, without the harsh touch of rings and diamonds.

Where is the ring in her hand?

Lin Yucen opened her eyes suddenly, and with a sharp pain, she snorted, "Hiss."

A strange voice shouted from the side: "Wake up, wake up! Go and call the doctor!"

"Quiet..."

"What did you say?" Someone leaned against her bed.

"Jie, finger." Lin Yucen's voice was weak, and every time he said a word, his whole body felt like a needle prick.

"Ring! She's looking for a ring!"

When she was unconscious, someone put the ring on her hand, and her tightly hanging heart slowly let go, and she fell into a coma again.

Not long after, a few people walked in from the ward and circled around the bed.

An Chengyan and Jiang Mu looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

The staff asked: "Can you confirm the identity of the injured?"

An Chengyan shook his head slowly: "I don't know."

Xu Zhongxuan loosened and clenched the fingers hanging beside him.

"I know her."

Everyone present turned their heads to look at Xu Zhongxuan at the same time.Xu Zhongxuan took a deep breath. Zhitian and Lin Group had an important meeting this morning. She didn't know why Lin Yucen and Lu Linzhong came to Jincheng together, but it was Lin Yucen who was lying on the hospital bed right now.

"Please provide her identity so that we can contact the family members of the injured and continue our investigation."

Xu Zhongxuan's cell phone screen lit up, and an unfamiliar number popped up on it. She gestured to the people in the ward, walked to the window, lowered her voice, and answered the phone.

"President Xu?" It was a female voice.

"Hello." Her voice was rigid, cold and low.

"I'm Yi Ziyue, I received an emergency call an hour ago, it's An Huaixu."

"Huai Xu?" Xu Zhongxuan froze in place, his mind went blank.

After the vehicle fell into the river, was An Huaixu the one who jumped off the Jin bridge? !

Jiang Mu and An Chengyan walked up to her side by side, and hurriedly asked, "Is it Huai Xu's call?"

Xu Zhongxuan's thin lips trembled slightly, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he turned his head to confirm with the staff: "Is the woman who jumped off the bridge also rescued in this hospital?"

The staff nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Mu took two steps back, was held by An Chengyan, and murmured, "Let's jump? Rescue? Zhongxuan, is it Xiaoxu?!"

Xu Zhongxuan was speechless, but An Cheng said calmly, "Please take us there."

Jiang Mu mechanically took steps to grab An Chengyan's hand, and even the fingertips lost their color.

In the ward, Jiang Mu saw An Huaixu lying on the hospital bed wearing a ventilator, and almost fainted from fright, An Chengyan grabbed her to support her.

Xu Zhongxuan stayed outside the ward, walked to the staff, and asked coldly, "Where's the driver who caused the accident?"

The staff looked around and motioned for her to take a step to speak.

Xu Zhongxuan followed the staff to the corner of the stairs, and the other party took out the documents in the briefcase and handed them to her.

It is an application for filing.

"Neither the perpetrator nor the young woman in the driver's seat of the Porsche has been recovered."

"The cause of the accident is relatively complicated. The owner of the truck that caused the accident reported to the public security system this afternoon, and the vehicle was stolen. Moreover, there were two collisions at the scene of the accident. Judging from the current situation..."

"We have already filed a case. Of course, we will not rashly characterize the case before the matter is clarified."

The vehicle was stolen, and there were two collisions. All signs point to a possibility.

Xu Zhongxuan's eyes turned cold, his face was frozen, and the people around him fell silent unconsciously.

Xu Zhongxuan took out his mobile phone and rested his fingertips on Yi Ziyue's mobile phone number. Since Yi Ziyue was capable of checking what Lin Yusi and Chen Rui did, he must also be able to check what happened today.

Her most capable subordinates and her best friends have ended up like this, and she can do nothing but seek justice for them.

Excessively agitated, her hands couldn't stop shaking. The second she pressed the button, someone suddenly ran over and pushed open the soundproof door in the stairwell: "Captain Wang, someone has testified against the perpetrator."

Officer Wang was surprised: "So fast. Where is the person? In the bureau?"

"No, in the hospital, it's the girl who came in the ambulance."
