Blazing Armour - Chapter 171

Ren Yu has been sitting there all day. Since he woke up in the hospital, he didn’t say a word, didn’t drink a mouthful, just in a daze.

Although, his brain is turning all the time. His body and soul seem to be separated by a force of brute force, one rigid and the other working, but they are incompatible or even mutually exclusive – because his heart doesn’t believe what his eyes see.

He was shot. Although the bullet was blocked by the bulletproof vest, the shooting distance was close, two ribs were cracked, and a large area of bruise was found at the lower rib. It was like being poisoned, and it was spreading outward from here. It would be dull and painful just to breathe.

But these are insignificant, compared with everything he has experienced.

Qiu Yan is dead. After being shot, he died on the spot and didn’t even get to the hospital.

When he woke up, the first question he asked was Qiu Yan. The answer he got really gave him a shot in the head, which made him distracted and painful.

He couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t believe what was happening now. He couldn’t believe that Gong Yingxian would ignore Qiu Yan and his life and death in order to catch Ziyan.

He doesn’t believe that man is Gong Yingxian. He will never believe it, never believe it!

Not long ago, he and Gong Yingxian were still talking about love and imagining the future. The more dangerous the road ahead, the more precious the hope is, and all their hopes for the future lie in each other.

Is he the only one who thinks so? From beginning to end, did he overestimate his weight in Gong Yingxian’s heart?

Maybe Gong Yingxian didn’t lie. His love is true, but it’s also insignificant. At least compared with his obsession, he can give up at any time.

Really, Gong Yingxian, so you don’t care to hurt me or give up me

But Qiu Yan, isn’t Qiu Yan your family? How can you watch her die?

Gong Yingxian, what did you do?!

Ren Yu felt like an apple. He still had some color on the outside, and the inside was already covered with moths. Just as his pain spread silently in his body, eating his flesh and blood every minute.

He didn’t eat, drink or sleep. He was just thinking about what happened that night. It was like being possessed. The struggle between reason and emotion almost tore him apart. He even couldn’t distinguish reality from illusion.

He knew that people kept coming to see him these two days. Those who care about him, such as the brothers of Qu Yangbo, Yan Jue and the squadron, and those who care about the case, such as captain Zhao and Zheng Pei, can see their expressions and hear their words, but he can’t respond. He doesn’t dare, unwilling or want to respond. What should he say? How does he answer people when he can’t even think of things himself?

Why did Gong Yingxian do this.

Yes, why, why are these people still asking him why? He wants to know why more than anyone in the world!

Why does Gong Yingxian allow bad people to shoot Qiu Yan and himself?

Why did Gong Yingxian ignore their lives in order to catch Ziyan and revenge?

Why can Gong Yingxian be ambiguous and emotional at the first moment and ruthless at the next moment?

All the complicated and chaotic plots and pictures gradually weaken, and finally become clearer and clearer in my mind, leaving only Gong Yingxian’s eyes.

Those eyes were arrogant, shy and affectionate, as well as cruel, cold and crazy. Gong Yingxian was multifaceted. He thought he loved all the faces of this person. Now he found that the person who would not hesitate to shoot and kill and cut his throat with a sharp dagger had actually exceeded his understanding of the person he loved, and finally became an unbearable nightmare.

“Sorry.”

This is Gong Yingxian’s last words to himself.

These are the three most harsh words he has ever heard in his life.

The original pain and fear can not face, people really just want to escape. Ren Yi “escaped” into his body, shrank up, and cut off contact with the outside world.

The next day, Zheng Pei finally lost his patience and shouted at him with Ren Yu’s collar, trying to “wake him up”.

Qu Yangbo rushed up. If someone nearby hadn’t dissuaded him, he would almost have fought with Zheng Pei.

Ren Yu’s protective shell was shaken out of a crack. He finally looked directly at Zheng Pei and said wearily, “what do you want to ask?”

Zheng Pei straightened his clothes and said angrily, “I thought you could pretend to be stupid until when.”

Ren Yu said in a deep voice, “do you have any news about him…”

“That’s what I want to ask you.” Zheng peileng said, “you helped him escape the police search, helped him exchange hostages, and finally helped him escape again. You don’t know where he is?”

“He went to find Ziyan.” Ren Yi murmured.

“Make it clear what happened that night.”

Ren Yu looked at Zheng Pei with puffy eyes and worried Qu Yangbo. He realized that he could not go on like this. He could hide for a while and not for a lifetime. Sooner or later, he needed to confess, either like himself or to the police.

He said hoarsely, “give me a glass of water.”

Qu Yangbo poured a glass of water, fed Ren Yu, drank it, and took the initiative to leave the ward.

After Zheng Pei and Ren Yu were left in the room, Zheng Pei stood at the head of the bed and looked down at Ren Yu – even if the chair was on the side, Zheng Pei didn’t intend to sit, but put invisible pressure on Ren Yu with his height: “say it, if you don’t open your mouth now, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance in the future.”

“What do you want to know?” Ren Yu knows that he still won’t tell Zheng Pei everything, but this time it’s not for Gong Yingxian, but he’s also worried that Zheng Pei has another plot. When he doesn’t know what to say, at least hide his cards.

“All.” Zheng Pei stressed, “you know all.”

Ren Yu looked at Zheng Pei, his eyes a little empty, “I don’t know where to start.”

“How did captain Qiu die?”

“…” Ren Yu didn’t expect Zheng Pei to stab him as soon as he came up. He was at a loss, and pain and regret appeared on his face.

Zheng peileng said, “I’m sorry, I blame myself? You know in your heart that if you didn’t cover up and help Gong Yingxian, Captain Qiu should still be alive.”

Ren Yu’s body began to tremble, and guilt cut back and forth in his heart like a knife. Yes, it was him. Even Qiu Yan would appear in the warehouse. He took the initiative to find it.

He thinks he’s smart. He only thinks about Gong Yingxian, and eventually does harm to others and himself.

“If you don’t want to do it again, answer all my questions.” Zheng Peiyan said sharply, “first answer my first question, Captain Qiu, how did you sacrifice.”

Zheng Pei didn’t give Ren Yu a chance to breathe. He was aggressive. Ren Yu had to answer hard: “he was shot by Huang Yan…”

“Where’s the bullet in your? It’s also yellow flame?”

Ren Yi nodded and gave a rough description of what happened that night.

After listening, Zheng Pei was silent for a long time and said, “you two were shot, but Huang Yan, Bai Yan and Gong Yingxian left. If it were you, how would you understand this outcome?”

“……”

“Why did Gong Yingxian leave with them?”

“I said, he went to see Ziyan.”

“Ziyan is not mysterious. No one has seen his true face. Has Baiyan really contacted Ziyan?”

“I don’t know. Even if it’s a fake purple flame, we can’t tell.”

“How did the six people in the factory die?”

“… six?” Ren Yi was stunned and repeated in surprise.

“Yes, six, don’t you know?”

Ren Yu recalled that if there were six dead, it would prove that Ziyan sent at least five people, plus two pretending to be hostages and Huang Yan, there were eight in total. Only Huang Yan and the man finally subdued by them were still alive.

Ren Yu said, “what I saw, Gong Yingxian killed two and subdued one. I don’t know the other three. Maybe they were killed by… Captain Qiu.” He wondered if Qiu Yan could deal with so many people by one person?

“What area of the warehouse were you mainly operating in?”

“Southwest.”

“In addition to a corpse found in the storage area, several others were scattered in different areas. The gangster caught alive said that there were five people. Judging from your scope of activities, at least two people were killed by Captain Qiu.” Zheng Pei narrowed his eyes and showed a thoughtful look.

Ren Yu’s heart is full of five flavors.

“But Captain Qiu’s gun was not found at the scene. Whose gun was she using? Her gun had been turned in when she was suspended.”

“Of the gangsters, one of them pretended to be a hostage and was killed first by Gong Yingxian. Captain Qiu took his gun.”

“That’s the Smith 9mm pistol. They all use this kind of gun, but why did this gun disappear?”

“… maybe Huang Yan took it away.”

“Huang Yan has kidnapped her. There is no need to take her gun away, and the guns of other criminals at the scene have not been taken away, so it is obvious that he has no need to destroy the evidence. Why did captain Qiu’s gun disappear?”

Zheng Pei kept mentioning Qiu Yan. Ren Yu didn’t keep thinking about Qiu Yan’s death. He said wearily, “I don’t know. Is this important?”

“Of course, it’s important. Any unreasonable place on the scene may be the key to the case.” Zheng Pei stared at Ren Yu. “Are you hiding something from me?”

Ren Yi looked at Zheng Pei without expression. He didn’t answer or deny it.

“This is the time. What else are you hiding from me?” Zheng Pei said in a deep voice, “do you still believe in Gong Yingxian?”

“Even if I don’t believe him, should I believe you?” Ren Yu whispered, “why do you have to stop them from overturning the case?”

Zheng Pei took a deep breath, Calmly say: “You were brainwashed by Gong Yingxian. I don’t have to stop them from overturning the case. I was sent to investigate all possible dereliction of duty in the whole case. This is two things from whether the case should be overturned 19 years ago. Gong Yingxian has been using you from beginning to end. You have become his best helper and defender. Why do you help him so , even if he ignores your life and death in order to achieve his goal, you are still defending him? ”

“I didn’t!” Ren Yu suddenly roared, “I fucking want to know what he’s thinking and doing more than you!”

He wants to know how true and false Gong Yingxian is. He wants to know if everything he once believed is an illusion. He wants to know if Gong Yingxian really only uses him?!
