Good Morning, Miss Undercover

64

During the following days in the hospital, although I had a high fever, overall, I was slowly recovering day by day. The most painful thing was......my mother would make me drink nutritious soup. After vomiting, she would continue to make me drink and I had repeatedly begged Kang Zixian, Fei Ge, and Uncle Alan, to take my mother away but the three of them shook their heads. I said I would go crazy drinking all the soup and Fei Ge said. "Liang Liang, don't dream. Your mother is taking revenge on you with the soup, so you cannot avoid drinking."

I was dumbfounded.

Lao Tan led Li Fang and Xiao Meng to visit me......said to be on behalf of the Bureau colleagues. Lao Tan sat for a while, his attitude was kind and in front of my friends and relatives, he did not severely criticize me. I lay on the bed without daring to breathe heavily, repeatedly pondering over his look and felt that he had come to visit me with a feeling of resentment for me failing to meet his expectations. As for his concern over my welfare, I could only answer positively.

Later as Lao Tan and Xiao Meng stood up and prepared to leave, I stretched out my hand from under the quilt and pulled on Li Fang's shirt. He rolled his small eyes, understood and found an excuse to stay back.

I sent the rest of the people away to let Li Fang tell me the matters I wanted to know. All this while, they had avoided talking about Principal Yang and my heart had a bad feeling. In the middle of the night, when I could not sleep, I would see the desperate eyes of the old principal. Ashen face, foolishly staring back at me, asking for my forgiveness over and over again and said that he just wanted to escape.

My heart was prepared.

Li Fang said. "Liang Liang, your old principal has left."

"He was the one who called 120. After 120 had taken you away, the next day, we found the tools in his office. We looked for him and did not expect that he would hang himself at home. He left a suicide note to say that he was forced to make the watermark and the watermark had already been taken away by Haishen Triad. He knew his sins were too heavy and had no more courage to live but he left a lot of clues for us. With the clues, it was easier for Lao Tan to handle the case and the Bureau could not make matters difficult for him. In fact, Liang Liang, I can finally see that Lao Tan takes good care of you. He understood that you wanted to let Principal Yang surrender and anyway he is now gone, whatever the outcome is, he was still a highly respected old principal. For his child, he was forced until he had no other way out and Lao Tan had instructed us to adopt a low-key profile to deal with this case. Oh....... yesterday was your principal's memorial service. A lot of his students went and although his son was not there, there were so many students to accompany him to walk down his last journey, he can now close his eyes in peace........"

I nodded, my face expressionless. No wonder Fei Ge was not around yesterday and when she came, her eyes were red and swollen like rotten peaches. She also gave me her most dazzling smile, so brilliant that it stung my eyes.

Unconsciously two lines of tears slowly flowed down, wetting the pillow. My heart felt empty, I cannot think, I dare not think, I just wanted to cry. Unable to control my tears, finally I sobbed.

"Liang Liang, don't cry. I say, don't cry, ah.....I am most afraid of .......women crying." Li Fang looked on helplessly as Fei Ge and my mother who heard my sobs rushed in.

I wiped my tears. My heart felt so painful as I looked at Fei Ge with wide open eyes and asked. "Fei Ge, did I do wrong?"

She also cried and firmly shook her head. "Liang Liang, you did right. If I were you, I would have also done the same, perhaps not as good as you had done."

"But he died, I had forced him to his death......" I cried, even more, sobbing in silence, ignoring the pain in my wound, I was immersed in great grief.
