Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"It's me?"

Then, Lu Xingzhi nodded.

Jiang Yao's expression suddenly changed. "Because I'm the only one who was pushed after I drank the drugged water."

"Sergeant Hu's father instigated Colonel Ye's son. He also drugged the water that you drank. He was afraid that it would not be enough. He must have thought that you had not drunk enough water, so it might not be as effective." Lu Xingzhi thought about that after he came out of the bathroom.

Jiang Yao shook her head. "Maybe you're mistaken? I've never met Sergeant Hu's father, and I'm not familiar with his family. There's no reason for him to target me."

Jiang Yao moved from her lying position to a sitting position. She stretched out her hand and nervously tugged at Lu Xingzhi's sleeve. "If I've offended him somehow, why did he choose to kill himself instead of killing me? Why did he only drug me and use a child to push me? That doesn't make sense. There's no explanation for that.

"You're right. I can't explain that. It doesn't seem to make sense because it's unreasonable to drug the water. If he hated you, wouldn't it be better to kill you directly?"

He had chosen to use the abortion drugs. If he hated a person so much, wouldn't it be more satisfying to kill that person?

Since he had the courage to commit suicide, why would he not kill his target before that?

"Chu Sheng is an expert in criminal psychology."

Lu Xingzhi reached out and patted Jiang Yao's head. "I'll send a message to Chen Xuyao and ask Chu Sheng to come to the city to help us."

Jiang Yao nodded. After a while, she grunted in gratitude and asked, "Didn't you say that the suicide note is smudged? Why don't you show it to me?"

Her eyes were not like other people's eyes; even the wall could not obstruct her eyes. She could make out the phrases clearly through the blood stains.

"I'll let other people look at it. If they can't read it, I'll bring it to you then. The smell is bad for you. Don't try to be brave. If you smell it, you'll be uncomfortable," Lu Xingzhi said.

She had wanted to say she could hold her breath and try, but she did not insist when Lu Xingzhi looked like he did not even want to discuss it with her.

She decided not to pursue it. Why should she try to be brave when he cared so much about her? After all, blood never smelled good.

Zhou Junmin arrived more than an hour later. He was there to take the suicide note. He came abruptly and left swiftly. Even though he cared about Jiang Yao, he did not have the time to speak to her before he left.

After lunch, Lu Xingzhi brought Jiang Yao out of the hospital. Jiang Yao had wanted to visit the other three women, but she did not dare to do that since they might have been implicated because of her.

She was afraid to see the pain of losing a child etched on their faces. They might not want to see her since she would not understand their pain. She could only offer some words of comfort.

So, Jiang Yao left the hospital. She could not summon enough courage to see the women.

Their parents followed them to the army base. They went to the market to purchase some things before they went home. They bought food that Jiang Yao loved.

They also bought some plus for Jiang Yao; she loved them. She was pretty comfortable during the ride as she enjoyed one.

She usually disliked sour food and would stay away from them. However, she seemed greedy for that taste during those two days.
