The hotel was very close to where Tan Jie and I were staying. Fu Jing and I were just walking for ten minutes.
When I got into the elevator, I was nervous. I had plans to talk to Tan Jie, but I wasn't sure how Tan Jie would react.
The elevator opened and Tan Jie's house was two steps away.
I didn't knock, because the door wasn't closed at all. It was still morning, and he wouldn't get up so early. Had he never closed the door?
"Tan Jie?" I screamed, walked in, and suddenly saw a man on the sofa, which made me jump.
I asked Fu Jing to wait for me at the door. The door wasn't closed anyway. Standing there, he could fully protect my freedom and safety.
Tan Jie turned around and glanced at me. His eyes were dark and a little scary. "He's here too?"
"Yes, it's coming." I sat down next to the sofa and said, "Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it calmly, starting with something I didn't know at the beginning."
"Do I have to talk to you? You can go." His face was ashen and distant from me.
I frowned. "Tan Jie, I don't understand why you hate the Fu family so much. I hate Fu Jing. Fu Jing was sorry to you before. I can understand why you hate him. You can do anything to him. If I stop him, I won't be Chen Qing. But why do you care so much if I'm with him or not? Why do you hate the Fu family so much? What's the relationship between you and Fu Jing?"
"It's none of your business. You can go." He stopped looking at me.
I can't make sense of him. Yesterday, he was so angry that he yelled at me. Today, he turned into a piece of ice.
Fu Jing called me, "Xiao Qing, let's go."
I sighed and had to get up.
I had just walked two steps away when Tan Jie suddenly stood up, overtook me and rushed straight to Fu Jing. He punched him and in the blink of an eye, the two men were fighting.
Fu jing knows kung fu. Tan Jie is no match for him.
"Hey, stop, stop! Ah Jing, stop fighting." I hurriedly pulled forward. "I have children. You can't hurt me. Stop it."
Fu Jing wanted to stop, but Tan Jie didn't. He beat her up without any scruples.
The man's arms were so strong that a random punch was not something that a little woman like me could bear. Tan Jie's elbow still hit my face. I gasped in pain and almost fell back to the ground.
Fu Jing hugged me and took Tan Jie's fist with his back.
He straightened me up and let me sit on the bed, and then he got into a fight with Tan Jie.
The two men stopped fighting when they were tired. Their faces and bodies were covered in color. Tan Jie was lying on the ground. I couldn't bear to see him. Fu Jing was better than him. At least he could stand.
I was also injured and couldn't move my jaw.
I called for an ambulance, and after a long time, it was Fu Jing who said it wasn't easy.
Tan Jie was carried into the car, and I was helped into the car. Fu Jing looked after me beside me and watched half of my face swell up.
Tan Jie was sent for a checkup, and I went for a reduction. When the doctor started to set my bones, I screamed like a pig that had been slaughtered all over the floor. Fu Jing held me in his arms painfully. When the pain passed, he realized that his hands were all bruised by me.
"Does it hurt?" I curled my lips, feeling guilty.
He hugged my head. "It's nothing compared to your pain."
"Nonsense, you're injured too. I'm fine now. Go take a picture and check the wound. See if there's anything else you can't see."
Fu Jing didn't want to leave me here alone. I had no choice but to go with him. After checking, it was confirmed that it was just a flesh wound.
Tan Jie was a little worse. One of his ribs was broken and he had to be hospitalized.
I went through the formalities, and I paid the money. What he did to me in the first place, I can do to him now. In my heart, I think it's all right.
Fu Jing didn't like Tan Jie. He looked unhappy when he saw me running for him. I touched his face. "Why don't you go back to the hotel and shave your beard and cut your hair so that you don't look unhappy here? Tan Jie will be beaten like that and won't do anything to me."
"No." He grabbed what I had and sent it to Tan Jie's ward.
He walks faster than me. I'm still waiting for the elevator. He's already downstairs.
"There are doctors and nurses here. You don't have to go." Fu jing said.
I nodded. "What about eating?"
"There's food in the hospital."
"Then he needs someone to look after him."
"No need."
I tugged at the corner of his shirt and said softly, "Yes."
"Let me see." He volunteered, "We need to eat now. I'm hungry. Let's go, let's eat."
After lunch, Tan Jie really didn't need me to worry about it. Fu Jing and I went back to the hotel to sleep. When we woke up, we received a call from the hospital saying that Tan Jie had run away.
Just in the morning, there was no one in the afternoon.
I got up and was about to look for him. Fu Jing grabbed me. "You don't know where he is and how to find him. If he's trying to hide from you, how can you find him?"
My face was anxious. "No, he's hurt. It hurts like hell. Where can he hide? Let's find him first."
"Are you so worried about him?"
"Ah Jing, this is not the time to talk about it. Be good and put away your jealousy. He is not mean to me and your children." I pointed at my stomach and tried to reason with him.
Reluctantly, Fu Jing got up and went with me.
We drove around the hospital, circling and expanding. Fu Jing was not the Fu Jing of the past, nor was he able to find someone to work for him in Nancheng. In the process of looking for Tan Jie, I suddenly felt sorry for Fu Jing.
When he looked for me, it must have been a lot of trouble.
"Ah Jing, I will never leave you again." My brain heated up and words came out of my mouth.
He rubbed my head. "If you run around again, break your legs."
"Okay." It was a threat, but I could hear it was full of indulgence.
We still couldn't find Tan Jie when we found him. Tan Jie only knew someone from the bar in Nancheng, or he was a supplier. Where could he go?
I've been to the house, too, no.
There was one place that I didn't look for, because I didn't think there would be one in his house, and there wouldn't be one across the street. Now that I think about it, there might be one.
"Let's go, Ah Jing. Find the last place."
I brought fu jing to my house and he asked, "Haven't you been here before?"
"Not here." I pointed to the opposite door and knocked hard. "Tan Jie, are you there? Are you inside?"
No one answered me.
I found the spare key and opened the door. As expected, Tan Jie was lying on the bed, staring at us with his eyes open in the dark.
"You go, I don't need you to care." He said weakly, as if he was enduring something.
"How can I leave you alone? Do you leave us alone when I have something to do with my child? No, so how can I leave you alone now!" I was so angry that I wanted to hit someone. "Ah Jing, regardless of whether he struggled or not, tie him to the hospital."
