On the way to the hospital, Xiao Ya looked out the window and did not say a word. Li Hanzhang stole a few glances at her. He had hoped that she would explain what happened last night to him, but now, he didn't expect it anymore.

The girl seemed to be very tired. Her smile had completely disappeared, and even her spiritual energy seemed to have decreased a lot. It was as if she had suffered a fatal blow.

Li Hanzhang cursed himself. She didn't seem to be in much pain when she was chased out of the house yesterday. She was still as innocent as usual, but she had been tortured to such a state in less than a day with him. It seemed that any flower would wither in his hands.

When she arrived at the entrance of the First Hospital, she saw Yu Yongming walking back and forth with a cigarette in his mouth. Li Hanzhang parked the car and honked. Yu Yongming ran over.

The weather was so cold. Why didn't he wait inside? Li Hanzhang said.

How can you come in when I'm inside? What do you think this place is? Yu Yongming said as he kept glancing at Xiao Ya. When Xiao Ya met his gaze, he avoided her again.

How was he now? Is there anything serious? Li Hanzhang asked.

The doctor said that your female classmate no longer has the will to live. She only wants to die. Now that there are people watching her 24/7, I'm afraid that she will commit suicide again. Yu Yongming said as he walked.

Li Hanzhang asked,"What's the condition of this hospital? If it doesn't work, transfer it to a better hospital for treatment." Yu Yongming smiled and said," You must have forgotten your old classmate's identity. Unless you can go to a hospital outside if you can't be treated in this hospital, you must be treated here as long as you can." The doctor said that there was nothing wrong with her. It was mainly a problem with her mind. This illness could not be cured anywhere.

When Li Hanzhang heard Yu Yongming's words, he suddenly thought of Zheng Gang and asked," What illness did Zheng Gang have when he was hospitalized a while ago? Did you make any arrangements for him? Yu Yongming smiled and said," What's wrong with that kid? He just wants to hook up with patients and hide in the hospital to enjoy himself. Those old foxes in the detention center all know this trick. I didn't expect Zheng Gang to learn it so quickly." I've already done it for him. He's still staying in the Second Hospital. As he spoke, he went to the ward. There were six beds in the small ward, but all five beds were empty. Only one person was lying on the innermost bed. There was a woman in a prison uniform sitting at the door. She might be the nurse Yu Yongming mentioned.

A doctor who accompanied them shouted, Zhang Caixia, someone is here to see you. There was no sound for a long time, and the doctor shouted again. Li Hanzhang waved his hand and walked over. Zhang Caixia's arm was stuck outside the blanket with an IV drip. Her hair was loose and her eyes were tightly shut, as if she could not feel anything at all. His face was pale, but he was very calm. Li Hanzhang felt that his old classmate did not seem ugly, just that his appearance was ordinary. At this moment, his face seemed calm and dignified. Li Hanzhang looked at the doctor in confusion.

The doctor said,"She can hear you. She's always been like this."

Li Hanzhang sat down on a bed next to him. He didn't know how to speak for a moment. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, You should at least open your eyes to see who's here to see you. There was still no reaction. Li Hanzhang continued," I've already asked around. You'll be sentenced to a maximum of five years. The law now provides that you can be released on bail. I'm confident that I'll let you out in three years. Three years will pass very quickly." Why do you have to take things so hard? Zhang Caixia was still the same, as if her life had long left her body. Li Hanzhang suddenly felt that his words were useless. It was unnecessary to say anything to someone who was tired of life. Besides, how could outsiders understand the pain she endured?

Thinking of this, Li Hanzhang let out a long sigh and said, Perhaps to you, living is pain, but dying is a relief. However, there were many ways to live. If you didn't want to be a participant in life, you could also be a bystander. If you didn't want to see the ugliness of life and feel the coldness of the world, you could also watch the sunrise and sunset. You weren't the only one in this world. Is there any meaning in dying like this?

Suddenly, Li Hanzhang saw Zhang Caixia's lips move. Li Hanzhang. His voice was a little hoarse, but at least he spoke and remembered his voice. When we were in school, you were already very eloquent. I admired you very much back then. If you didn't always look up at me with your arrogant head, I would like to be friends with you. But…Zhang Caixia's lips moved a few times with difficulty, and then there was no more sound.

Li Hanzhang leaned closer to her and said,"I was young at that time. I knew what arrogance and inferiority meant. It was nothing more than a scholar's spirit. You won't remember it, right?" But now, facing a woman who dared to end her own life, I am willing to lower my head. From now on, I, Li Hanzhang, will always be your friend. I'm just afraid that you won't take a fancy to an ordinary person like me.

Tears seeped out of the corners of Zhang Caixia's eyes. Li Hanzhang reached out and wiped it a few times. Suddenly, he saw Zhang Caixia's lips curl into a smile. Li Hanzhang, no matter if what you said is true or false, even today, I'm still happy to hear it. Li Hanzhang felt like digging out his heart and presenting it to this person who had lost all hope in life. His legs went weak and he knelt in front of the woman's bed and sobbed. Then, an inexplicable sadness hit his heart. His sobs turned into bitter cries. His grief was no less than the grief of his parents.

If someone owed you, you would be angry. If you owe others, you will never be at peace. Li Hanzhang was carrying a heavy sense of guilt at this moment. He could not help but kneel in front of the woman's bed. Rather than saying that the woman was in despair, it was more accurate to say that the woman's appearance made Li Hanzhang feel despair. He only wanted the woman to live so that he could have hope of atoning for his sins.

The few people on the other side looked at each other and felt that it was strange. It was as if they were all asking who he was to her.

Zhang Caixia finally opened her eyes, which she was not prepared to open again. After all, no man had ever cried for her like this in her life. Although she was not dead, she felt that she could not bear the cry of a man.

She reached out her hand with the IV drip and stroked the head beside the bed a few times. She was as kind as an old grandmother, more like a wise man comforting a crying fool.

Li Hanzhang raised his head and saw the woman looking at him with pity. The desire to cry in his heart grew even stronger. It was only when he caught a glimpse of a few more people that he changed his mind.

Cai Xia, don't you believe in the Roman religion? When the Lord has not summoned you, you cannot simply abandon your duty. Li Hanzhang then remembered that the woman was a Christian, so he said something nondescript.

Unexpectedly, the woman sighed and said,"I haven't felt the revelation of the Lord for a long time. I'm a sinner. The Lord has abandoned me." Li Hanzhang said anxiously,"How can that be?" The revelation of the Lord is everywhere, it just depends on how you experience it. There are no sinners in the eyes of the Lord, only servants. The Lord will never abandon his lamb. In fact, the Lord is in your heart. You just don't know. Zhang Caixia listened to the man's ambiguous words and smiled again. Li Hanzhang, go back. I won't die again. Just like you said, I'll be a bystander. Li Hanzhang was pleasantly surprised,"Cai Xia, is what you said true?" When you come out, I'll build a church for you. Zhang Caixia slowly closed her eyes, but the smile on her face did not disappear.

On the way back, because he had cried in front of the red-heart radish and was in a gloomy mood, Li Hanzhang had been silent. This time, it was Xiao Ya who secretly glanced at him a few times. In the end, she could not help but say, I didn't expect you to cry! Li Hanzhang felt extremely embarrassed and said angrily,"Are you crazy? Who wouldn't cry? I haven't seen you many times, but you've cried more than eighty times in front of me. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ya was not angry. Li Hanzhang stole a glance and saw that the corners of her mouth curled up as if she was secretly laughing. You still haven't told me where you went last night? Xiao Ya stretched her neck and said,"Why should I explain to you? Who are you to me?" Li Hanzhang argued irrationally,"Although I'm not your person, I have to be responsible for you since you're staying at my place. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to your parents."

From your words, you seem to be my guardian. If you're worried, don't go home. Look after me all night! Xiao Ya also began to pester him.

Li Hanzhang was so angry that he couldn't speak. He stepped on the accelerator and sped home.

Qi Shundong had spent the entire night in excitement over the hard drive that Xiaoyu had brought over. However, after the password was unlocked and he read everything inside, he cursed Li Hanzhang a hundred times in his heart. It turned out that the only valuable thing on the computer was more than 30 erotic movies. He had worked for most of the night in vain.

He had been thinking about the monk since he woke up in the morning. He felt that the old monk that Xiaoyu mentioned was strange. Two sentences could make Li Hanzhang stunned for a few minutes. It meant that these two sentences had touched his secret, or at least touched his heart.

Could the old monk be someone who knew? He had already read these two sentences over a hundred times, but he still could not figure out the mystery behind them, much less see any connection with Zheng Gang's stolen money. In the end, he gave up completely, but he did not give up. It didn't matter if he couldn't understand the words, but he had to meet the monk. When there were no other clues, the monk would become a clue.

Qi Shundong was a member of the Party and a materialist, so he didn't burn incense and worship Buddha. He only wandered around the temple, looking for the old monk. He had seen two of them before, but when he showed them the note with those two sentences on it, he knew that they were not the people he was looking for.

Just as Qi Shundong was about to give up, a Buddhist proclamation sounded. An old monk walked up to him and said," Patron, do you want to bless me? Qi Shundong saw that although the old monk's robe was old, his face was not ordinary. He had the bearing of a master and couldn't help but feel a little respectful. He handed over the note with both hands and said,"Please enlighten this note, Master." The old monk looked at the two lines of words on the note and laughed." It takes some skill to consecrate on paper. Patron, please follow me. Without waiting for Qi Shundong to reply, he walked towards a small path.

Qi Shundong was a little wary, but that monk was clearly the person he was looking for. How could he give up so easily? After a brief pause, he followed.

The monk and layman came to a small meditation room. The monk sat on a futon while Qi Shundong looked around and saw that there was no place to sit. He could only sit on a futon.

The monk took the paper and said,"Patron, you don't want to bless me, but you want me to explain these words." Qi Shundong said,"That's right. Please give me some pointers, Master." The monk smiled and said," I don't know where you got these two sentences from. I just want to tell you not to waste your efforts. These two sentences are only useful to useful people and have nothing to do with ordinary people." Qi Shundong said,"How does Master know that it has nothing to do with me?" The monk laughed and said,"It's very simple, because you can't understand it." Qi Shundong thought to himself, Isn't this nonsense? If I understood, why would I come to you? Grandmaster meant that someone could understand these two sentences.

Naturally, there were people who understood.

Who could understand it? Qi Shundong seemed very anxious.

The person who gave you these two sentences would understand. If it wasn't for the old monk's age, Qi Shundong would have started scolding him. Isn't this clearly playing with me? But as far as I know, these two sentences came from Grandmaster. Could it be that even Grandmaster didn't understand?

Naturally, he understood.

Then please explain.

You won't understand even if I tell you.

No matter how well-mannered Qi Shundong was, he couldn't hold it in any longer. He took out his documents from his bag and said," I'm from the city police's criminal investigation team. These two sentences are very helpful to us in solving a big case. I hope you can help. The old monk laughed and said,"I don't understand what you're saying."

Qi Shundong stood up and said,"Monks are also citizens. They have the obligation to help us solve the case. If you don't say anything, I'll have to ask you to go back to the station." The old monk also stood up and said," Young man, don't act on impulse. If you listen to me, you can live for 75 years. If you don't listen to me, you will die within two years." Do you want to hear it?

Qi Shundong was fuming with anger as he shouted," You demon monk, you're talking nonsense. Let's go back first. As he spoke, he grabbed the monk's wrist. But for some reason, he did not grab anything. When he wanted to grab something again, the monk had already swayed past him and floated out. Qi Shundong chased after him and saw that the monk was nowhere to be seen. Qi Shundong stood there in a daze for a while before he suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
