Chapter 57 - Chapter 57

  Lin Shuyue really wanted to see this excitement. It just so happened that the case Huang Qiang gave her was in the hospital. Lin Shuyue gossiped with Li Mingfang for a while, then took the information and went straight to the hospital.

  When she walked into the aisle, Wang Mingzheng called her.

  Lin Shuyue walked into the editor-in-chief's office. Wang Mingzheng took out a car key from the drawer and gave it to her: "In the past few months, the sales of our newspaper have been getting better and better. We have also cooperated with Pengcheng TV several times. You were the first to discover the poisonous rice noodle case and the Wangjiang Villa case. President Xun admires you very much. This is the car he allocated to the newspaper. You can drive it from now on."

  Xun Heng is a generous boss. He is strict with his employees at work, but also clear about rewards and punishments. Lin Shuyue has followed many major cases in the past few months, which has brought new life to the newspaper whose sales have been declining. With her encouragement, other reporters no longer slack off. Although the news they publish is not exclusive, it still attracts the public's attention.

  And because of these two cases, Xun Heng's family also benefited a lot. Xun Heng's second brother went directly to the Ministry of Commerce some time ago and was promoted two levels.

  Yesterday, Wang Mingzheng went back to the headquarters for a meeting, and Xun Heng directly drove a car over. Xun Heng gave the car willingly. The newspaper's management knew about it and had no objection.

  "The car is silver, and was chosen by the boss lady herself." Xun Heng's wife, Lin Shuyue had also heard about it. She was also a strong woman . She opened several shopping malls and did very well. She also managed the finances of Dingsheng Real Estate. She was very impressive.

  "Mr. Wang, thank Mr. Xun and the boss lady for me." Lin Shuyue accepted it with a smile.

  This was a pleasant surprise for Lin Shuyue. In her line of work, she had to go out every day. If she wanted to go to a nearby place, she could just ride a bicycle. But if she wanted to go far, she had to rent a car.

  The car rental fee is not that expensive, but she have to return the car to the rental store every time, which is a bit troublesome.

  Lin Shuyue had already included buying a car in her recent plans, but she didn't expect the head office to reward her directly. Lin Shuyue felt that the good news she heard this morning was too much, it was simply a double happiness!

  "You really gave it to me directly?" Lin Shuyue still couldn't believe it.

  "It's for you. It includes two tanks of gas every month. If you exceed that, you have to pay for it yourself." The newspaper has four or five cars, and they all follow the same process.

  The price of oil was not expensive these days. Lin Shuyue nodded rapidly. After Wang Mingzheng drew a big round pancake as usual, she took the car keys and went out.

  In the parking lot, Lin Shuyue saw Yuan Shuzhen.

  Yuan Shuzhen is the only survivor of the Jia Yongchang case besides Lin Shuyue. When Zhao Bing wanted to take her to a business dance party, it was she who reminded Lin Shuyue what Zhao Bing was doing.

  She got out of the car with a tired look on her face. Lin Shuyue called her and she walked towards Lin Shuyue.

  "What's going on?" Lin Shuyue asked.

  Yuan Shuzhen sighed: "My boss got a strange disease, and he didn't care about the company now. He insisted on going to the capital for treatment, saying that the capital is a good place for men's treatment. I just sent him back from the airport."

  Yuan Shuzhen is a clerk at Xingshengda Trading. Their company has few employees, and when the salesperson and accountant are busy, she has to take care of the boss's personal affairs. The salary is high, but it is really tiring. Especially this boss, he is very troublesome.

  Lin Shuyue understood as soon as she heard it. Yuan Shuzhen, the boss, was a frequent visitor to Wangjiang Villa and Haitian Club. It was normal for her to be affected by the side effects of the drug that could not make her grandson.

  "What kind of strange disease is this?" Lin Shuyue pretended to be curious.

  There is nothing that cannot be told to Lin Shuyue. Besides, there are quite a few people suffering from this disease. There are five or six in Dingsheng Building alone.

  "He can't be inhumane, he can't hit people, and he always have nightmares." For those who love to commit crimes, if the tools used to commit crimes are not powerful enough, it is simply a disaster. It's almost like the sky is falling.

  After Yuan Shuzhen's boss found out about this, he lost interest in his work. He went to all the hospitals in Pengcheng, but it was useless. So he decided to go to the capital.

  Yuan Shuzhen has accompanied her boss to many hospitals in the past two days and is really exhausted.

  Lin Shuyue leaned close to her ear and said, "My friend said that the hospital has received a lot of people like this recently. They can't get it up with women, and the same is true for men. These people have a common characteristic, they love to flirt, and their illnesses will be cured when they are with men who love to flirt."

  Yuan Shuzhen was shocked. Is there such a strange disease in this world?! If that's the case, God is really wise!

  "These evil beasts have gathered together. That's good." Yuan Shuzhen smiled this time.

  She told Lin Shuyue: "My boss is good at business, but his character is very bad. There are only five or six people in our company, and I have to take care of his personal affairs when everyone else is busy. He has four or five mistresses, and he still has to go out to prostitutes from time to time."

  Yuan Shuzhen's expression was full of disgust. Because she followed such a boss, Yuan Shuzhen now really hated these men. She was 23 years old, and her parents urged her to get married every day, but she felt down when she thought of those men.

  Especially her father is not an honest man. He has been flirting with the widows in the village since she was a child. Now he is in his sixties and seventies, and he still goes to the hair salon and wanders around the dark alleys from time to time.

  Men will only settle down when they are dead and hung on the wall. However, they themselves are restless and demand women to be faithful. Men who have affairs outside are called romantic, and women who have any such signs are called promiscuous.

  So disgusting.

  Yuan Shuzhen had been holding back on many things for a long time, and this time she caught Lin Shuyue and complained about her boss.

  After Lin Shuyue drove away in her new car, Yuan Shuzhen immediately took out her cell phone and sent a message to her disgusting boss.

  Her boss is a Taiwanese who grew up in the United States. He is a bit of a philanderer, and doesn't mind eating anything but meat. Now he seems to have no hope with women, but he still has men who share the same hobbies with him to relieve him.

  If she sent this message now, wouldn't her boss be so happy? You know, her boss had told her before that a boss who attended the banquet with him was tall and good-looking.

  Isn't the opportunity now coming to him?

  Let all disgusting men mess with each other and harm each other!

  Lin Shuyue had achieved the main purpose of chatting with Yuan Shuzhen, and she was in a good mood on the way to the hospital. When she saw Liu Zizhong with a dark face talking to Mr. He, who had said he would drag her into the darkness, in the outpatient department of the hospital, she felt even better.

  In that gunfight, Mr. He and Liu Zizhong were both injured, they don't know if it was bad luck. Liu Zizhong broke his leg and is still in a cast, and Mr. He was beaten by the girls, the injury was quite serious, and now his nose and face are swollen.

  The police had placed the two in the same ward, and there were still police guarding them. After all, according to the law, the two had to be detained for fourteen days.

  Liu Zizhong's eyes swept across Lin Shuyue and then he walked away. Mr. He, who was sitting in a wheelchair, no longer called him Mr. Liu, but Zizhong instead. His tone was so disgusting that it was really sickening.

  As he spoke, Liu Zizhong's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

  The policemen around them looked at them with contempt. Lin Shuyue walked into the outpatient department, where several nurses were standing together chatting. As they talked, they looked in the direction of Mr. He and Lin Zizhong, obviously talking about them.

  Lin Shuyue slowed down and listened attentively.

  "This morning I went to make rounds. It was around five o'clock. The man surnamed He and the man surnamed Liu were lying on the same bed. Both of them were naked from the waist down!"

  "Wow! Two men are okay?"

  "Weren't they injured because of whoring? Why are they still not behaving themselves even after arriving at the hospital?"

  "I heard that..."

  Lin Shuyue walked through the outpatient department with a smile and followed the hospital signs to the inpatient department at the back.

  She went to the infectious disease ward. The person she was going to interview today was a 25-year-old girl named Ma Yanmin.

  When Lin Shuyue found her ward, she was eating. She was very thin, with skin covering her bones. A man about her age was feeding her by the bed, and after each mouthful, he wiped her mouth with a tissue.

  The two looked at each other from time to time, and then smiled at each other.

  "Hello, I'm a reporter from Pengcheng Metropolis Daily. My name is Lin Shuyue." Lin Shuyue spoke, and the two of them only then recognized Lin Shuyue.

  The man immediately put down the bowl in his hand and moved the stool next to the empty bed to Lin Shuyue: "Reporter Lin, please sit down."

  Lin Shuyue thanked her and sat on the other side of Ma Yanmin: "You guys eat first, we'll talk after dinner."

  Ma Yanmin shook her head and lay down on the bed. The man immediately went over to support her and then lowered the bed.

  "I can't eat anymore after a few bites." Ma Yanmin took several breaths after saying this. Her current state reminded Lin Shuyue of Ah Qin.

  "What disease do you have?"

  "Liver cancer, it's already in the late stage." Ma Yanmin was very calm about her illness.

  The man next to her handed her a cup of water and asked her to drink some water, then said, "This is the tenth hospital we've been to. The doctors all said there's no cure, so after today, we'll be discharged."

  When he said this, the man's face looked very sad.

  Ma Yanmin held his hand and looked at Lin Shuyue with a smile in her eyes: "I like to watch the sea. I especially yearn for a life facing the sea with spring flowers blooming, so I want to live by the sea for a while."

  "We have sold our house and shop." Ma Yanmin had a hint of reluctance on her face when she talked about the sale of the house and shop.

  Lin Shuyue looked at her expression and started talking to her about her shop.

  Talking about her career, Ma Yanmin's spirits were obviously much better. From her narration, Lin Shuyue also learned about her story with the man next to her, that is, her boyfriend.

  The two are from the southwestern mountainous area. When she was sixteen, she and her boyfriend Xu Zhenbo got together because of the matchmaking of their parents.

  They are all from ethnic minorities and live deep in the mountains. Most of their peers who are not educated get married in their teens.

  "Both our families were poor, so after my elementary school classmates told me that I could earn money by working outside, I took Zhenbo with me. We started out as laborers in the mountains, planting trees for others, cutting trees or cutting sugar cane."

  "Working in the mountains is profitable, but it's very tiring, so after working for a year, we left and came to Pengcheng to work. At first, I worked as a general worker in the factory. Later, I saw that the snack stands at the night market near the factory were very profitable. So I started a snack stand business."

  "We people in the southwest love to eat potatoes, so I fried potatoes with lace edges, also called wolf-tooth potatoes, and sold them. At the beginning, I only had a stove, a pot, and a bucket of potatoes. Later, the business became better and better, so we stopped working in the factory and quit our jobs to specialize in this business."

  "Now seven or eight years have passed. We bought a house and a shop in Pengcheng. The business in the shop was very good, but I got this disease, so I sold the house and lost the shop." Ma Yanmin said, sighing several times.

  "Zhenbo and I worked hard together to build this house and shop. Now it's all gone. I feel really sorry for him."

  She drank water several times when she was talking.

  Xu Zhenbo, who was standing beside her, had been silent throughout her speech. When he heard this, he spoke up: "Why are you saying such things? You are sick, can I just sit there and watch? Am I still a human being then?"

  Ma Yanmin smiled at Xu Zhenbo: "You feel sorry for me, so I can't feel guilty towards you?"

  Lin Shuyue listened to Ma Yanmin's narration. Her eyebrows jumped as she had seen too many cases of wives being murdered, and then she turned on the good and evil radar.

  Xu Zhenbo and Ma Yanmin's good and evil values were both within 10%. Lin Shuyue breathed a sigh of relief and then turned off the good and evil radar.

  Normally, Lin Shuyue would not turn on the good and evil radar, because once it was turned on, it would stare directly in front of her and flash, which would greatly affect her vision.

  She turned off the radar and asked about some other topics, including the difficulties Ma Yanmin and Xu Zhenbo encountered in starting their business, and the relationship between them.

  When asked by Lin Shuyue why they had not married after being together for ten years, Ma Yanmin said: "I got pregnant once before, but I had an abortion and never got pregnant again."

  The interview came to an end, Lin Shuyue stood up to say goodbye and left, and when she opened the door, she hugged a girl who was about 21 or 22 years old.

  Xu Zhenbo immediately stood up from the bed, took a look at the girl, and said to Lin Shuyue: "This is my sister-in-law, Ma Yanzhi."

  Lin Shuyue nodded, and walked away from Ma Yanzhi as she apologized.
