After get off work, I went to the hospital again to see how Li Sheng's recovery was going.
But when I arrived at the hospital, I found that the other person was missing, the ward was empty, and the sheets on the hospital bed were neatly folded.
I hurried to the nurse's desk and asked the nurse: "Nurse, where are the patients in Ward 302?"
The nurse replied: "He will be discharged from the hospital this afternoon."
"Discharged?"
"Well, it's true that he was discharged from the hospital in a hurry before his body fully recovered. The doctor doesn't recommend that he be discharged from the hospital now."
I was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, thank you."
After leaving the hospital building, I took out my mobile phone and called Li Sheng.
After he answered the call, I immediately asked him: "Li Sheng, why did I hear that you were discharged from the hospital when I first arrived?"
"Well, I'm discharged from the hospital."
"What's going on? Aren't you still recovering from your physical injuries?"
"It's nothing serious," he paused and said suddenly, "Mr. Chen, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Li Sheng sighed and said, "I'd better come to you and talk to you face to face."
"Where are you? I'll come find you. Your injury hasn't healed yet, and it's inconvenient."
Li Sheng told me his current location, and I drove over immediately.
The address Li Sheng told me is in a community not far from the clothing factory, which should be his current residence.
After arriving at the place, I called Li Sheng again and he told me the house number.
After arriving at his residence, I knocked on the door.
The moment Li Sheng opened the door, I smelled a particularly pungent smell of nicotine.
The entire room was filled with nicotine, and smoke could clearly be seen in the air.
I instinctively covered my nose, then looked at Li Sheng and said, "You haven't healed your injury yet, why do you smoke so much?"
Li Sheng hurriedly opened all the windows and opened all the curtains.
After a while, the smell of smoke in the room gradually dissipated.
Li Sheng took me to the sofa and sat down, then looked at me solemnly.
"What's wrong with you?" I realized something was wrong with him.
He picked up the cigarette on the coffee table again and prepared to light it.
I stretched out my hand to stop him: "Stop twitching and tell me what's wrong with you?"
Li Sheng retracted his hand that had reached for the cigarette first, then sighed heavily and said, "Director Chen, I know who caused the fire in the factory."
I was stunned, then became serious and asked, "Who is it?"
Li Sheng suddenly took a step back and then made a gesture to kneel down for me.
I quickly pulled him up and said, "What are you doing? Just tell me what you have to say."
Li Sheng sighed heavily: "It's my fault!"
"Ah!?" I looked at him with a puzzled face, wondering if it was him who caused the fire?
Li Sheng slapped himself again and said repentantly: "Director Chen, I'm sorry for you. You are so good to us, but you deserve to be damned. I really don't have the face to see you."
"Don't be like this! Tell me what's going on."
After Li Sheng was silent for a while, he stammered: "The fire was caused by monkeys."
"What?!"
Li Sheng sighed again: "Didn't I borrow one million from you before? In fact, it was for him."
I said nothing and frowned, waiting for Li Sheng to continue.
Li Sheng paused and continued: "I went through the discharge procedures this afternoon and went to see Monkey because I was afraid that his child would be waiting for the surgery fee, but he told me that the surgery fee has been paid in full."
"What's going on?" I asked curiously.
Li Sheng said with a disappointed look on his face: "A few days ago, someone found Monkey and asked him to set fire to our finished garment room. I gave him one million."
"Then what?"
"The monkey has no choice. His child is waiting for this money to save his life, so"
I really feel sad that it was my own people who did this for a long time.
But who asked him to do it?
I immediately asked Li Sheng: "Who asked him to do it?"
Li Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. Monkey said he didn't know her. She is a woman."
Wang Yi?!
I instinctively thought of Wang Yi. It couldn't be helped because we had too many entanglements during this period, including the last promotional event, and he was also pulling some tricks behind his back.
But this time it was more vicious than the last time, and I really couldn't bear it anymore. Fortunately, I kept thinking about her.
I'm angry. It doesn't matter if you bump into me head on. What does it mean if you trip me behind my back?
"Dr. Chen, do you know who it is?"
I didn't tell Li Sheng this, and said with a long sigh: "Don't worry about this, let's talk about the monkey? Where are the others now?"
"He realized that he had made a mistake, so he told me these things. I gave him the one million I borrowed from you and asked him to return it to that person."
I took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Okay, I understand, don't spread this matter, I will handle it."
Li Sheng still said apologetically: "Director Chen, I'm so sorry. You are so kind to us, give us job opportunities, and give us such good treatment, but my people have caused you so much trouble.
I’m really sorry, and I won’t have the shame to continue working under you in the future.”
"Stop it! This is the same code. If you really feel sorry for me, then stay here and work hard for me. Don't think about escaping."
Li Sheng sighed heavily and said: "After the monkey returns the money, I will bring him over to apologize to you in person."
"Okay, let's not talk about this now. Anyway, the loss this time is not big. Let's take it as a lesson."
"No, you must apologize. He is my brother. He has committed such a big thing and deserves no less punishment."
"You are just stubborn."
"This is a matter of principle. If you make a mistake, you will be punished, no matter who he is."
"Okay, okay, let's do whatever you say. In short, this matter must not be spread outside, as long as we know about it."
Li Sheng nodded, looking a little sulky.
I don't want to continue this topic, because I know who instigated it, and there is no point in continuing this topic.
I looked around where he lived, then changed the subject and said, "Is this the house you rent?"
"Well, the main reason is that it's close to the factory."
"It's quite close, but why don't you live in the factory dormitory?"
Li Sheng smiled and said: "I'm not used to living here, but I still like to be alone."
"You're not married, are you?"
Li Sheng shook his head, and I asked again: "Do you have a girlfriend?"
Li Sheng shook his head again, and I continued to ask: "How old are you this year?"
"30."
"That's not a big deal! Now you can think about personal issues."
Li Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "I have so many problems of my own right now, how can I have the time to think about these things?"
"Aren't you doing well now? Your job is stable, what's the problem?"
Li Sheng sighed, half-opening his mouth, but hesitated to speak.
I felt that he had something on his mind. From the first day I saw him, I felt that this person had a story, and it was by no means that simple.
