Origin Chapter 35: Desperate
In any case, Lin Qingming has to be operated on first, and it will be discussed later if the 50,000 yuan is not enough.
After paying a deposit of 100,000 yuan, Lin Qingming was pushed into the operating room.
It was seven o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark. As expected, Zhao Lin didn't call, and Wu Zhongyuan didn't call to ask. They didn't call, and they had already expressed their attitude.
The estimated time for the operation was four hours. Wu Zhongyuan did not wait outside the operating room, left his backpack and mobile phone to Huang Ping, and left the hospital alone.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Wu Zhongyuan came back with a bag in his hand. Of course, it wasn't the 5,000 foreign currency in it. The foreign currency was in his clothes pocket, and the bag was for Huang Ping and Wang Xinran to buy dinner.
Lin Qingming was still in the operating room, Huang Ping was waiting on the chair outside the operating room, and the two plainclothes were also there during the day, sitting bored in the corner.
Wang Xinran wasn't there. I asked Huang Ping to know that smoking is not allowed here, and Wang Xinran went out to smoke.
"Tomorrow, take time to go to the bank and exchange these foreign currencies for renminbi." Wu Zhongyuan secretly stuffed Huang Ping with the foreign currency he got back.
"Where did it come from?" Huang Ping took the money and asked suspiciously.
"It's a long story, it's definitely not stealing, don't worry." Wu Zhongyuan said that he is now a key surveillance target and does not dare to go to places where there is surveillance. These things can only be left to Huang Ping.
"Where have you been?" Wang Xinran returned.
Huang Ping knew that Wu Zhongyuan avoided Wang Xinran, so she quickly collected the money and took the bag that Wu Zhongyuan brought back, "He went to buy us food."
Wang Xinran naturally didn't believe it, "How long does it take to buy food?"
Huang Ping stopped talking, and Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer either.
Wang Xinran walked over and took a bowl of porridge from the bag, turned and walked outside, "Come out and tell you something."
Wu Zhongyuan stood up and followed him with a spoon.
In addition to the elevator, the hospital also has stairs. Wang Xinran came to the stairwell, sat down on the stairs, and opened the lid of the rice porridge, "I just asked someone to ask about the situation, and now there is good news and a Bad news, which one do you listen to first?"
Wu Zhongyuan handed over the disposable spoon, "Bad news."
Wang Xinran said while drinking the porridge, "The bad news is that if Zhao Dazhong puts all the blame on your senior brother, his behavior will be regarded as excessive defense, according to the crime of negligence causing serious injury and negligence causing death, and several crimes. Combined punishment, there may be a maximum sentence of imprisonment."
“What is the upper limit of the fixed-term imprisonment?” Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"Twenty years." Wang Xinran said.
"What did you say?" Wu Zhongyuan was anxious, "The other party did it first, and my brother will be sentenced to 20 years?"
"Two dead and eight serious injuries, is it a lot to betray him for 20 years?" Wang Xinran said here, his tone slightly softened, "I'm talking about the most, maybe fifteen years or less."
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head angrily, closed his eyes and sighed. Even if he was sentenced to 15 years, Wu Zhongyuan would be nearly forty when he was released from prison, and his youth was thrown into prison.
"The good news is that your senior brother had no intention of committing a crime, but now he has become a disabled person and is not suitable for serving his sentence in prison. He can serve his sentence outside of prison, which is what you often call medical parole," Wang Xinran said.
"You mean he won't go to jail?" Wu Zhongyuan regained his senses.
Wang Xinran nodded.
Wu Zhongyuan sighed, this is indeed good news, a fortune among misfortunes.
"Zhongyuan, come out." Huang Ping called out from the operating room.
Wu Zhongyuan turned around and ran out. Wang Xinran drank the rice porridge and followed.
This operation is under general anesthesia. Lin Qingming was in a drowsy state at this time, probably because of excessive blood loss, and his face was very pale.
After the operation, according to the usual practice, the doctor will take out the object from the patient, no matter what it is, as long as it belongs to the human body, it must be taken out to the family to see. The doctor showed Wu Zhongyuan seven or eight. Small pieces of bone.
"Doctor, how are you?" Wu Zhongyuan asked nervously.
"As long as we can keep it, we have kept it. At present, the patient's femur is missing about five centimeters. In the future, the left leg will definitely not be able to walk normally." The doctor said.
"How long is five centimeters?" Wu Zhongyuan had no immediate impression.
"It's about that long." Wang Xinran took out a disposable lighter from his pocket and pinched the windshield.
At this time, the doctor was handing over the gun sand removed from Lin Qingming's body to the plainclothes. This was the evidence they needed to handle the case. When the doctor turned around, Wu Zhongyuan said thank you to him.
"You're welcome," the doctor waved, "the surgery fee has been entered into the hospital's system, you can check the details on the self-service machine in the elevator on your own floor, and make up for the shortfall other than the deposit as soon as possible."
"Okay." Wu Zhongyuan nodded.
Send Lin Qingming to the ward. Wu Zhongyuan and Huang Ping waited by the bedside. There were three beds in the room, two of them were vacant, Wang Xinran occupied one and lay down to rest.
Huang Ping returned Wu Zhongyuan's cell phone to him.
"Did anyone call me while I was away?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Huang Ping shook her head.
Wu Zhongyuan put away his mobile phone and began to worry. He was worried about nothing but money. He just checked the cost. So far, it has cost 185,000, which is less than expected, but even if it is 35,000 , and where to get it.
Looking at Wang Xinran on the bed at the door, this guy is from the moonlight clan, and he is borrowing money to make ends meet, where can he lend him money.
Dean Wang? No, absolutely not, Dean Wang has already helped a lot, people can't make an inch, and no matter how difficult it is, they can't be shameless.
In desperation, I thought about all the people I knew, and finally even thought of Hua Shirt, but Hua Shirt was from Zhao Dazhong, so it was impossible to lend money.
After struggling until dawn, Lin Qingming woke up and was in a good state. He asked for some water and asked Wu Zhongyuan to lower the temperature of the air conditioner in the ward. He didn't like heat.
"Brother, the operation is over and it was a success," Wu Zhongyuan said to Lin Qingming.
"The anesthetic took effect later than the doctor expected. I heard everything they said." Lin Qingming said calmly.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't have any hope of deceiving Lin Qingming. Hearing what he said, he could only comfortably say, "As long as you keep your legs, there is hope, and you will find a way in the future."
Lin Qingming did not answer.
The next thing is a very real issue. It's not money, it's food, drink and Lhasa. Lin Qingming can't go to the ground and can only be served by Wu Zhongyuan.
In this regard, Wu Zhongyuan didn't feel any awkwardness, and Lin Qingming didn't see anything outside. The two grew up together, and there was no estrangement at all.
At eight o'clock, Huang Ping went out, Wang Xinran also went out to smoke, and Lin Qingming said again, "Who is this woman?"
Wu Zhongyuan knew that Lin Qingming was referring to Wang Xinran, but if he wanted to explain Wang Xinran's origin to Lin Qingming, he had to talk about his own situation, but he didn't want Lin Qingming to worry about it again, so he lied, "I girlfriend."
Lin Qingming tilted his head and stared at Wu Zhongyuan, "Really?"
I know I can't cheat, but Wu Zhongyuan simply doesn't cheat, "Brother, don't ask."
Lin Qingming really stopped asking, closed his eyes and said, "Let Huang Ping go back."
"I have other things, I can't stay here forever, Huang Ping has to stay and take care of you." Wu Zhongyuan said.
Lin Qingming's brows furrowed, and he didn't relax for a long time, but he didn't say anything.
Huang Ping came back soon, and the exchange went smoothly. With more than 34,000 yuan, he even put together more than 15,000 yuan from himself, and paid another 50,000 yuan.
Wu Zhongyuan ran out of money and only had more than 300 yuan left.
At this time, he not only had to worry about money, but also persuaded Lin Qingming to explain the situation. Today, he came in two more plain clothes. This is to record the confession.
Under his persuasion, Lin Qingming finally spoke up, but Lin Qingming did not testify against Zhao Dazhong, nor did he mention some of Zhao Dazhong's illegal facts. When Zhao Dazhong asked him to attack those attackers, Lin Qingming was silent for a long time, and finally said, 'No'.
After recording the confession, he left in plainclothes. Although Lin Qingming was a criminal suspect, he was disabled, and there was no need to send someone to watch him.
"You are really loyal." Wu Zhongyuan complained.
Lin Qingming knew that Wu Zhongyuan was complaining about him, but he did not refute or explain, just closed his eyes.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't have the heart to complain about Lin Qingming. If it wasn't for the expense of going to college, Lin Qingming wouldn't leave the coal mine to work for Zhao Dazhong.
It is very unfortunate that the family members are injured and hospitalized. What is even more unfortunate is that the family has no money, and even more unfortunate is that there is a lawsuit. Wu Zhongyuan only knows how hesitant he is.
Wang Xinran also wanted to help, "The road you said yesterday won't work, and the above won't approve it. See if this will work, let the school issue an announcement. You are orphans, and you should be able to raise some money for charity."
"We don't need sympathy!"
"We don't need sympathy!"
The two spoke in unison.
Wang Xinran hit a nail, was a little embarrassed, and stopped talking.
A very real problem is in front of me, and I have no money, so I have to find a solution quickly.
Wu Zhongyuan called Wang Xinran out, "You go, don't follow me."
Wang Xinran frowned and looked at Wu Zhongyuan.
"I have to find a job," Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Go to the headquarters with me and explain the situation to the leader in person." Wang Xinran said.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "Do you feel like I'm going away now? Let's go."
Wang Xinran didn't answer.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything to her again. He returned to the ward to greet Lin Qingming, and then called Huang Ping to come out.
Wang Xinran was still at the door, he took Huang Ping a little further away, "My brother's leg is not getting better."
Huang Ping's mood was also very low, she just nodded and didn't speak.
"Are you still going to stay to take care of him?" Wu Zhongyuan asked in a deep voice.
Huang Ping nodded without hesitation.
Wu Zhongyuan wanted to say thank you to Huang Ping, but after hesitating, he changed his mind and said something else, "You stay here to take care of him, and I'll go out to raise money."
Huang Ping nodded in agreement.
Wu Zhongyuan took the elevator downstairs and looked back when he reached the door of the hospital, but Wang Xinran did not follow.
There is a stop at the entrance of the hospital. He took a bus to the city center. In addition to the upfront cost, there is also the cost of daily hospitalization. He has to find a job as soon as possible.
Now it's not allowed to post small advertisements, and there is no job recruitment information on the street. He doesn't know anyone here, so he can only find an intermediary if he wants to find a job.
Finding a job through an intermediary requires a referral fee, but after paying the money, I went to the employer, only to find that the salary is not paid for a day at all, and the work done is not what the intermediary said.
In desperation, I can only give up and go to another agency.
In one day, two times in a row, Wu Zhongyuan began to suspect that these intermediaries were colluding with the employers to deceive referral fees.
The introduction fee is 150 yuan once, and when it comes down twice, Wu Zhongyuan only has 25 yuan left.
It was getting dark, and Wu Zhongyuan didn't go back to the hospital. It wasn't that he didn't want to go back, but that he was waiting for the money. How could he go back without money.
As night fell, Wu Zhongyuan wandered alone on the streets of a strange city...
