Now that Zhou Mo knew about Zong Qi's nosebleed, it would be easier for Li Jingchen to talk to her.
Li Jingchen asked: "How did you know that Zong Qi had a nosebleed?"
Zhou Mo said with some depression: "I saw it accidentally in the trash can. He probably didn't have time to deal with it that day, but at first I thought he was just angry, so I didn't pay attention.
It wasn't until later that I found suspicious red marks on the tiles of the washstand, like residual blood stains, that I realized that he might be hiding something from me."
When he said this, Zhou Mo's eyes became a little dazed: "Since then, I have often paid attention to every detail of his life. The most obvious thing is that a few days before he left, Xiao Mian and we were eating
During dinner, suddenly, there was a drop of blood on Zongqi's hand holding the chopsticks.
I was startled, so I looked at his face and found that he had a nosebleed! But he calmly covered his nose with his hand and went to the toilet.
I thought he would explain something to me, but when he came back, he just said that he had not slept much recently and was busy with work, so that was why he was like this. He just needed to take some medicine to reduce the fire."
Li Jingchen asked calmly: "Do you believe it?"
Zhou Mo smiled bitterly: "If there hadn't been clues from the previous two times, I would have believed his excuse.
After a few days like this, Zong Qi suddenly said that he was going to a scientific research institution to conduct closed research. He also said that it involved S-class national secrets and asked me not to go to the work unit to find him.
They also said that their mobile phones will be managed centrally, and they will not be able to call or send text messages to their families until specific rest times.
Although I have never eaten pork, I have seen pigs running away. I have seen many scientists in movies who separated from their families and disappeared for several years, or even a lifetime, in order to build rockets and nuclear bombs!
So, I told him to go and rest assured that I will take good care of the child."
It has to be said that Zong Qi's excuse was quite clever. If Zhou Mo hadn't found out the clues in advance, he might have been able to hide it.
"Later, the more I thought about it, the more something went wrong. I always felt that Zong Qi's departure was not that simple, so..."
Li Jingchen asked: "So what?"
Zhou Mo gave an unexpected but reasonable answer: "I went to his scientific research institution."
Li Jingchen's eyelids twitched and asked: "Did you go to Zongqi's scientific research institution?"
Zhou Mo nodded: "Yeah, but I'm worried that I'm overthinking it and rashly saying that I want to go in to find Zong Qi will have a negative impact on him.
So I only wandered outside scientific research institutions, and then I discovered that scientific researchers can come and go freely. It is not like Zong Qi said, closed management is implemented at all.
But I am more willing to believe him than to doubt him, so I told myself that maybe these people are not part of the closed management, maybe they... are not as important as Zong Qi."
Li Jingchen could understand Zhou Mo's thoughts. If Zong Qi lied, Zhou Mo would fall into a bigger trouble, that is, why did Zong Qi lie? What did he lie to hide?
Therefore, Zhou Mo would rather deceive herself than believe that Zong Qi deceived her.
After closing his eyes and calming down, Zhou Mo asked, "I've finished what I wanted to say. Now please tell me, what happened to Zong Qi?"
Li Jingchen saw that in addition to fear in her eyes, there was also the opposite determination, so he said: "Since you have discovered so many clues, let me tell you the truth, Zong Qi has a tumor."
"Tumor?!" The tea in Zhou Mo's cup shook out as she suddenly stood up, and poured on the back of her hands and skirt, but she seemed not to know the pain and looked at Li Jingchen in shock.
!
However, from Li Jingchen's thin mouth, instead of getting comfort, Zhou Mo got an even colder truth: "Tumors are malignant."
Zhou Mo collapsed and fell back on the chair. There was not much tea left in the cup.
