Chapter 178
Chapter 178
When Chihu saw the caller ID, he showed an expression of disbelief on his face. His eyes were wide open, full of astonishment and confusion, as if he had seen something completely beyond his imagination.
The whole person seemed to be cast under a spell, standing there blankly, motionless, completely losing his usual cleverness and agility. It was Zhang Xing who hurriedly pushed him, and the strong push made Chihu wake up from his dream. His body trembled slightly, and then he hurriedly answered the phone in a panic.
Zhang Xing patted Chihu on the shoulder at this time, and his palm fell with a firmness and encouragement.
"Communicate well with your girlfriend, and don't be awkward anymore."
Then, as if he was afraid of disturbing Chihu, he gently pushed open the car door and got out of the car.
Chihu has always wanted to save face, and Zhang Xing knows him too well. He is worried that Chihu will be embarrassed to apologize to his girlfriend sincerely in front of him because of his self-esteem.
Zhang Xing thought that since his girlfriend had called back, it almost meant that she was ready to reconcile.
After all, the relationship between the two was deep, so how could they really go their separate ways because of such a small quarrel. As for Chi Hu, although this guy pretended to be strong on the surface, always stubbornly refused to bow his head, and put on a fearless big man appearance, but in fact Zhang Xing knew in his heart that he had wanted to reconcile for a long time.
Zhang Xing also firmly believed that the cheating that Chi Hu had been worried about must be a ridiculous misunderstanding. As long as both parties could communicate and explain calmly, they would definitely be able to reconcile as before. After all, the emotional foundation of the two for so many years was here, and the ups and downs they had experienced together, and the countless days and nights of companionship, could not be easily erased by a small misunderstanding and quarrel.
After getting off the car, Zhang Xing took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it skillfully with a lighter. He took a deep breath, and the flame flickered in the dark.
He stood beside the car and watched the movement in the car with concern. Chihu didn't suddenly get mad and quarrel loudly as he expected, which means that the two should have been communicating calmly.
Zhang Xing was smoking a cigarette while sighing about the things in front of him. The Sichuan restaurant in the central district was the closest place among the three coordinates, but because of Chihu's sudden emotional entanglement, they might arrive the latest.
This mission is crucial, and the delay may bring some unexpected troubles, but at this moment, the emotional problems of friends cannot be ignored.
However, Zhang Xing didn't smoke half of his cigarette when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the car. The noise was not small, mixed with Chihu's crying and slapping, as if something was violently colliding in the car. Zhang Xing's heart "clicked", and he quickly stepped on the cigarette butt on the sole of his shoe, sparks flew, and then quickly opened the car door.
The scene that came into his eyes made Zhang Xing stunned for a moment. At this moment, Chihu was in tears, slapping himself with both hands.
His tears flowed like a river bursting its banks, and his face, which was always firm and confident, was now full of pain and self-blame.
"Damn it, it's all my fault."
Chihu's voice was hoarse and desperate, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the deepest part of his heart, with endless regret.
Zhang Xing's intuition told him that something big had happened.
Because he had known Chihu for so long, he had never seen Chihu so emotionally broken.
Chihu had always been a strong and brave man, who could remain calm and firm no matter how difficult the task or dangerous the situation. But he looked like a body without a soul, with only endless pain and self-blame.
Could it be... his girlfriend really cheated? This thought flashed through Zhang Xing's mind, but he felt it was unlikely. Based on his understanding of Chihu's girlfriend, she was not that kind of person.
"Chihu, what happened?"
Zhang Xing felt very uncomfortable when he saw Chihu like this. His voice became a little sharp because of anxiety, his eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and his eyes were full of worry.
But he knew very well that now was not the time to feel uncomfortable. He had to ask about the situation first before he could find a way to solve the problem.
"I deserve to die. It's all my fault. I'm such a fucking inhuman."
As a result, after Zhang Xing asked anxiously, Chihu not only did not respond, but repeated the previous sentence.
He slapped harder and harder, and each slap was full of self-punishment, as if he was in a situation where he could not forgive himself.
Zhang Xing hurriedly pulled Chihu, who was emotionally collapsed, and held his arms tightly with both hands like pliers to prevent him from hurting himself.
Zhang Xing's face was full of anxiety and anger, and he was ruthless.He shouted at Chihu fiercely: "Chihu, what happened? Can you explain it clearly?"
Zhang Xing's roar was like a thunder, finally pulling Chihu back from emotional collapse. Chihu, with tears on his face, first cried out in regret, and the cry was like the wailing of a wounded beast in the middle of the night, which was heartbreaking.
Then he trembled and said: "Xiaowan... Xiaowan accidentally had an accident when she was on a mission. Now she has been sent to the hospital. Her life or death is unknown."
Zhang Xing's face changed drastically when he heard this. His lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of shock and disbelief.
Zhang Xing was a little confused and asked with concern: "Wasn't the call just now from your girlfriend Tang Wan?"
Chihu shook his head with a bleak face, his hair was messy and swayed with his movements.
"It was Xiaowan's phone that called, but the person who answered the phone was Captain Lin of the City Criminal Police Detachment."
Chihu's voice was low and hoarse, as if every word he said took a lot of effort.
"Xiaowan's senior from the police academy is called Chen Zhong, and he is from the City Criminal Police Detachment. Xiaowan did have dinner with him today, but she probably didn't drink. According to Captain Lin, the City Criminal Police Detachment is currently investigating a gang robbery case."
Chihu's eyes were empty, as if he was recalling something, or as if he was just stating the facts mechanically.
"Chen Zhong made an appointment with Xiao Wan today to discuss this matter. Later, Chen Zhong seemed to receive a call from an informant and rushed to the scene. Xiao Wan followed him. After arriving at the destination, an accident happened. An explosion occurred at the location they arrived at. Chen Zhong was killed on the spot. Although Xiao Wan was far away, she was also affected and suffered a head impact. She is now unconscious."
Zhang Xing was very confused when he heard this: "Your girlfriend Tang Wan is just a household registration police officer. Why does Chen Zhong need her to cooperate with the operation?"
