Chapter 26 I love you, Mom!
The reason why Zite chose to have local anesthesia was that he was afraid that under general anesthesia, he would be unconscious or even hallucinate and say things he shouldn't have.
If I were to reveal my ability to rewind time, I would be in big trouble.
Shortly after the surgery, he regained his mobility. Although he couldn't get out of bed, he could move his hands.
After confirming that he was alright, Cao Yingchong left the hospital and immediately opened Feixun to check online news about the Meiling Tunnel and the Oriental Tower subway station.
The most viewed video shows a fully armed, masked figure carrying a human torch away from the tunnel, then flying into the air before exploding.
A screenshot taken by a netizen, after being processed to high definition, vaguely shows the emblem of the Special Administration Bureau printed on the back of the sprinter.
The final result was exactly as Jiang Luo had predicted: the fireman exploded in mid-air.
Everyone in the Federation knows that the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs is equipped with supernatural ability suppression collars, and that Flying Man's level is obviously no lower than Cao Sir's. Logically speaking, after arresting Fire Man, they would definitely put a collar on him.
So why did the other side still explode?
Zite had a vague intuition that it was very likely related to the red spot located in the fourth ventricle.
Zheng Xinjian is also dead. The only person who can verify the speculation is the sole survivor of the two incidents, maintenance worker Yu Zhongliang.
The fact that the other party was personally escorted away from the subway station by Inspector Cao, allowing Cao Ying to gather information, was undoubtedly the most direct and effective method. However, the squad leader might face legal trouble for killing Zheng Xinjian while saving him.
It is understandable that mercenaries were killed during the academy hostage incident, but Zheng Xinjian was still a student, and his family and relatives would certainly not let it go.
Therefore, it would be inappropriate to bother the class monitor any further.
Furthermore, it was somewhat strange that I would specifically inquire about Yu Zhongliang's situation when I had no relation to him.
In the third playthrough, Qi Te adjusted his plan, having Zhang Xiaodao distract Zheng Xinjian while he pretended to flee in panic, accidentally bumping into Yu Zhongliang. He had gone to great lengths to conceal his true intentions, and couldn't afford to reveal any flaws in such a trivial matter.
After much deliberation, Qi Te, with a "let's give it a try" attitude, sent a message to Jiang Luo.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Luo not only revealed that Yu Zhongliang was still alive, but also disclosed that the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs had rushed to the Bureau of Investigation to hand over the case.
On the first timeline, Jiang Luo processed the private messages he sent on the platform and provided his Feixun (a Chinese instant messaging platform) and phone number. This was clearly to prevent official agencies from tracking him using big data.
But these insider details are not something ordinary people can access.
Based on this, Zit speculated that this prophetic goddess was probably not an official, but certainly had a subtle connection with one or more departments or institutions.
If the other party really wanted to sell me, I'm afraid the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs would come knocking on my door before I even finished the surgery.
But speculation is just speculation. Before confirming the other party's true identity, Zite ultimately did not reveal that he had discovered the strange red spots.
In addition, Jiang Luo's reaction was clearly abnormal.
On the second playthrough, the other person quickly added him as a friend and asked if he was in Haicheng.
On his third playthrough, he added the other person as a friend, and the other person accepted the request very quickly. The other person didn't ask where he got the number or who he was. Instead, the other person asked a nonsensical question—whether he had been to Shuangxing Mountain last summer.
This gave Qi Te a strange feeling that the other party seemed to know something about him.
Finally, Jiang Luo sent him another message—"Contact me anytime if anything happens."
The other party clearly had no intention of delving deeper into those questions, so Qi Te refrained from asking any further.
....................
As expected, Zheng Xinjian's parents filed a lawsuit, but the target was not Cao Yingchong, but the Investigation Bureau.
Clearly, Inspector Cao took the blame for his younger brother.
Given the federal law enforcement apparatus, the success rate of individual prosecutions is predictably low.
The family requested access to the surveillance video from the Dongfang Tower station, but ended up humiliating themselves.
The video was not tampered with and did not need to be edited. The surveillance cameras could not capture the wind blades, so they could not see how Cao Yingchong made his move.
The invisible blade is simply a chosen assassination ability.
Zheng Xinjian rushed out of the car and fought with retired veteran Zhang Xiaodao. After shaking off Zhang Xiaodao's entanglement, the entire process of Zheng Xinjian assaulting Qi Te was clearly filmed.
The investigation bureau released Qi Te's injury assessment report and stated that the victims reserved the right to pursue legal action and seek compensation. This means that the Zheng family not only cannot cause any trouble, but also faces the possibility of being held accountable by the victims at any time.
To protect the rights of the victims, the investigation bureau thoughtfully blurred out Qi Te's face and did not reveal his identity, so as to prevent the Zheng family from venting their personal grievances on this ordinary college student when they could not get through to the authorities.
In addition, it also prevents the other party from worrying about being prosecuted and having the evil idea of silencing them or hiring someone to kill them.
After receiving the message from Cao Yingchong, Qi Te finally breathed a sigh of relief.
While recovering from his injury and taking care of his mother at home this week, he has also been keeping abreast of the aftermath of this incident.
"Finally, it's over!"
After expressing his gratitude, Qi Te transferred 23,800 yuan to Cao Yingchong.
"I'll pay you back for the surgery first, and I'll settle the nursing home bill as soon as possible."
With the few thousand yuan I earned from online classes this week, I barely managed to scrape together the money.
As a result, Cao Yingchong returned it directly.
"Consider it a loan to you, with one dollar interest per month."
Qi Te knew very well that the other party was giving him a way out, and it would be tactless for him to remain stubborn.
For him, saving face is worthless. But he also can't bring himself to accept others' kindness as a matter of course.
"I've contacted Yikang Nursing Home. You can send your aunt there. The caregivers there are more professional, and the food and hygiene conditions are better."
Yikang is the most famous sanatorium in Haicheng. It is said that it is very difficult to get a bed there. If you can get a place to be admitted, you can tell from this that Lao Cao's family is very wealthy.
However, the minimum monthly income is 30,000, which is simply unaffordable for me.
Qi Te paused for a second, then politely declined Cao Yingchong's offer, citing his mother's familiarity with the nursing home and the caregivers.
After packing my luggage, I took my mother to the nursing home.
Although it was very dilapidated and had a strange, complicated smell all year round, and the caregivers were not highly educated and were almost old enough to need someone to take care of them, they were very kind.
Of course, if conditions permit in the future, Zite would prefer to send his mother to a better nursing home.
After changing the sheets and duvet cover to fresh ones, Qi Te hung the specially made necklace camera around his mother's neck.
"You absolutely must not take this off, you must wear it even when showering."
There is also surveillance in the room, but the connection is often interrupted. In addition, my mother is mobile and often goes outside to sunbathe and walk around.
My mother has a beautiful and gentle appearance; it's easy to see that she must have been a great beauty in her youth. Although she is forty-five years old this year, her facial skin is firm and smooth, and she looks more like she is in her early thirties.
In Zit's memory, his mother has always looked the same, seemingly unchanged over the years. Perhaps it's because of her intellectual disability, or because she doesn't have many worries.
When Qi Te was a child, he often saw lewd old men staring at his mother with malicious eyes. It wasn't until he grew older that he understood what those looks meant. If it weren't for his domineering grandfather, who knows what his mother would have gone through.
Beauty is not a good thing for a mother; on the contrary, it can bring disaster.
His grandfather is gone; now it's his turn to protect his mother.
"Okay, okay, I won't pick them, I won't pick them."
The mother nodded obediently and reached out to touch Zite's forehead.
"Our little prodigy is growing so fast, he's already so tall."
The mother's mind was that of a seven-year-old child, and her clear, bright eyes were unlike those of a middle-aged woman.
Qi Te picked up his backpack and walked towards the door.
"Little Te, walk slowly on your way to school, listen to your teacher, and don't run around. Mom will be waiting for you to come home!"
Qi Te stopped in his tracks, walked back, and gently hugged his mother.
"I love you, Mom!"
....................
A week later, Qi Te stepped onto Line 3 again.
According to the initial timeline, it was estimated that all passengers on the train would perish after the subway derailed.
On one hand, the impact of the high-speed collision was too strong; on the other hand, it was Yu Zhongliang's rampage.
The fire elemental explodes when out of control, and Zheng Xinjian's indiscriminate attacks when out of control leave even the C-level speed-type ability user Zhang Xiaodao helpless. If the earth elemental ability completely goes out of control, the impact will only be far greater.
If it weren't for Qi Te going back in time to before the incident and cooperating with Jiang Luo to stop the two major incidents at Meiling Tunnel and the subway station, the number of dead and injured would have been no less than five thousand.
In other words, he once again saved countless lives.
However, apart from Jiang Luo, no one knew.
However, rather than being a superhero under the spotlight and admired by millions, Chit prefers to be an ordinary, unknown person.
While the former can bring wealth to themselves in a very short time, who says that ordinary people can't make money?
After reviewing the events three times, Qi Te already had a plan to get rich.
Just as I was pondering this, my phone vibrated.
"Come quick, something's happened to Wanwan!"
The message was sent by senior student Li Xiaoxu. She and Yue Wanwan were classmates and members of the same club, and the two had a good relationship.
The incident at the subway station occurred on a weekend. When Yue Wanwan returned to the college on Monday, she heard that Qi Te had been seriously injured and immediately sent him a message saying she wanted to visit him.
Qi Te refused, saying that he was no longer seriously injured.
After glancing at the location sent by Senior Sister Xiaoxu, Qi Te was a little confused.
"What happened?"
After waiting for two seconds, Li Xiaoxu sent a voice message.
"It's all my fault. Senior Luo made me bring Wanwan along, saying it was for a club team-building activity..."
"I just overheard Peng Jiajun and Qin Zitai talking, saying they drugged Wanwan. They also... they said Senior Luo took sildenafil..."
"Junior Qi Te, hurry and save her..."
