Lao Chang was startled. Seeing his state, he immediately tensed: “What are you going to do? He’s left the island!”
His words exploded like thunder in Yue Linze’s ears. Yue Linze’s body trembled violently, and looking at Lao Chang’s almost disappearing back, he shouted: “I want to appeal!”
“…What did you say?” Lao Chang frowned and turned back.
Yue Linze’s eyes were like a pool of stagnant water: “I want to appeal. I have evidence to prove… I’m innocent.”
★, Chapter 34: Rogue with an Illness 11
The inspection team’s patient was diagnosed with an acute illness from excessive drinking. After the cause was discovered, Tao Yu and Zhou Ying were immediately detained for questioning. They were held outside much longer than expected.
Tao Yu was nearly going crazy, locked in the guesthouse, not allowed to go anywhere, constantly monitored by a police officer and forbidden from using communication devices. Zhou Ying watched her pacing like an ant on a hot pan and couldn’t help asking: “It’s not like we were drinking with them. This matter has nothing to do with us. What are you so anxious about?”
Tao Yu glanced at him without speaking. Yue Linze was still in solitary confinement, and she constantly worried whether Lao Chang would forget to bring him food, or if Fatty had told him about her departure. The more she worried, the greater her panic became.
Zhou Ying watched her for a long time before finally sighing: “Are you thinking about Yue Linze?”
“…” He was the only one who knew about her and Yue Linze. Tao Yu pursed her lips and finally shared her concerns with him.
Zhou Ying listened for a while and summarized: “You just want to call the island and ask how he’s doing, right?”
“… Sort of. I’m worried that Lao Chang and the others might also be controlled like us, and then who would bring him food?” Tao Yu now regretted it deeply. If she had known she would be suddenly confined, she would have first released Yue Linze from solitary confinement.
Zhou Ying thought for a moment: “I’ll try to find a way for you.” Then he left.
