Chapter 35: Cold Sweat.
It was midnight when Chen Xiao woke up.
He woke up in a deep sleep, he suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had been awakened from a nightmare while sleeping, suddenly he turned over and sat up straight!
There was no one in the observation room of the hospital. Because Chen Xiao did not have any injuries, he was just sleeping, and after testings and with no abnormal findings, the people in the emergency room simply left him here.
When Chen Xiao woke up, the first reaction was to touch his head, and then, as if he could not believe it, carefully touched his arms, chest and abdomen...
After confirming that everything was intact, Chen Xiao immediately broke out in a cold sweat!
I remember that... At that time, the car did hit me!
After waking up, the memory finally came back bit by bit. Chen Xiao tried hard to recall every detail at that time. The more he thought about it, the more he sweated!
The car rushed toward itself, he was stuck in an instinctive state of sluggishness and shock, and was unable to make any dodging movements - it was too late. But just before the moment that the car hit him, Chen Xiao vaguely remembered that some kind of power appeared suddenly in his body.
The power emerged in a nearly explosive manner, and the feeling of something instantaneous in his whole body was agitated. As if a person had been electrified. At that time, he just closed his eyes unconsciously and held his arms tightly.
"I was okay when the car hit me, and the car flew out instead?" Chen Xiao felt his mouth run dry and his heart began to beat faster.
He could vaguely understand a point: his body, I am afraid there has been some kind of change that he can not recognize!
He soon remembered what the Leihu fellow in the Service Agency had said to himself. And Heisan, also told himself before she left.
I have been on the "watch list" of the service agency!
"What is this? Is it a power?" Chen Xiao raised his hand and looked at his fingers carefully. His fingers were long and slender. He had played the piano since childhood. Later, because of his hard work in the past two years, skin grew near the palm of his long fingers.
This hand is still flesh and blood. It's hard to imagine how I could have the strength to drive a speeding car to a fit?!
He was in a daze when the door was pushed open. Outside the door, the hostess of his employer's house came in wearily. Originally her well-maintained face and forehead was high and swollen, with her face full of fatigue and sadness. But with a strong spirit she smiled, walked in, and came to Chen Xiao's side.
"Are you awake? Chen Xiao. The lady's eyes twinkled: "Today's business... Thank you. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm dead now."
Chen Xiao was confused at the moment, but shook his head: "Don't mention it. When I saw that situation, I could not pass by without coming to rescue."
He just said this, but the woman's eyes have already shed tears, sitting on the bedside, covering her mouth with strength, she whispered while sobbing.
Chen Xiao, after all, is a kind man, sighing and warmly saying, "Today's business, you..."
"I wish I were dead." The woman shook her head and sobbed sadly.
"Er... That driver is your husband. Chen Xiao touched his nose: "You..."
The woman wiped her tears and looked at Chen Xiao. "You can see and hear it. It was just unexpected that he would be so desperate...
Then the woman whispered with tears.
The story is simple and not uncommon. She and her husband were husband and wife for more than ten years and had been living well. Only in recent years, that hee husband's career has become more and more prosperous, and gradually he's giving less energy to focus on the family, and the couple's feelings have also tended to be cold.
Moreover, as the saying goes, men change when they have money. After her husband had succeeded in his career, his mind became more and more eccentric, his temper grew fiercer, and he developed some bad habits. He spent a lot of time drinking, gambling, and he kept women outside.
"I knew all this very early." The woman sighed and her eyes were sad: "But for my daughter, Angel, I have been patient and silent all the time. I don't want my daughter to be so young without a family. But lately, he has gone too far..."
Chen Xiao watched the lady wipe her tears in front of himself, he paused for a moment before he handed over a paper towel.
"Thank you." The woman's eyes were red and swollen and her voice was hoarse: "Today we had another big fight. He's been addicted to gambling recently and has lost a lot. Yesterday he mortgaged all his cars to others, and today he came back and took the money for a copy. Recently, he has become more and more foolish. He has lost most of out family's savings. The company's situation is also in a not so good state..."
"Your daughter, do she know these things?" Chen Xiao asked carefully.
"Angel doesn't know." The woman's eyes showed a touch of tenderness: "I have always wanted to protect her, I do not want her to know these things. Today, she just called to say that she would be back later. I think it's OK to take advantage of the fact that there are only two of us at home. I want to have a good talk with my husband and give him good advice.
Chen Xiao bit his teeth. "Driving into his wife, that fellow is so inhumane!"
The woman shook her head with sadness on her face, she reluctantly smiled and said, "Fortunately, you are not hurt. Chen Xiao, I can see that you are a good person. If you are injured because of our family affairs, then I will be too guilty.
Chen Xiao comfortably smiled and said, "I'm all right, but you're in such a situation now..."
"I'd like to thank him for making such a noise today, which has completely sobered me up." The woman closed her eyes and her face gradually became firm. "I see now that he is hopeless, and his collision has shattered my last glimmer of hope."
Chen Xiao sighed and said nothing more.
Just then, someone knocked at the door of the ward and two policemen came in.
"Excuse me, two of you. We need to make a note of today's business." Two policemen came in. One of them saw Chen Xiao sitting on the bed at a glance. He couldn't help staying for a while. Then he couldn't help laughing and said, "Yi? What a coincidence, it's you again?'
Chen Xiao also recognized the policeman, a thin middle-aged man, who was plain-looking but had a keen eye. It was the police officer who took a note of himself when he was last attacked by a robber. Later, when he drove himself home in a police car, he left a telephone for himself.
Well, as he remember, he seems to be Xu...
"Officer Xu, how do you do?" Chen Xiao smiled politely and nodded.
Officer Xu seems to be of a higher rank than his colleague. He saw Chen Xiao, his eyes flashed a little strange, and he turned his head askew at his colleague: "You go out first, I'll deal with this matter."
His colleague had no objection and went out directly.
"Chen Xiao, let's talk about today's business." Officer Xu pulled a chair and sat down beside Chen Xiao's bed. He stared at Chen Xiao with curiosity and interest. "It's only a few days since we met for the second time. It's a coincidence."
Chen Xiao was somewhat disturbed by him and forced to laugh. "Officer, I just happened to meet you today."
"Speak up." Officer Xu took out a record book: "Please tell us something about what happened today in detail." Looking at the lady again, "And you, please tell me about it. What happened then?"
After a pause, his tone was very calm: "Your husband is still in a coma, but we've got the results of the examination. He obviously drank badly before driving, so let's not say anything else, it's just a violation of the law. What awaits him will be a life-long ban on driving and a15-day detention. It's just that I have some doubts about the situation...
The woman's eyes are a little nervous.
"I have seen the scene, after investigation, I suspect that your husband may have deliberately driven a car into you at that time! If that's the case, then he's suspected of deliberately hurting people. Even worse, he can be charged with deliberate murder. Officer Xu's voice was indifferent: "Even if he was drunk, but the law is clear, drunk people must bear criminal responsibility."
Hurting people? Murder?
The woman seemed startled and her face changed. After several changes in her expression, she immediately shook her head and her voice was firm: "There is no such event, police officer. He didn't want to kill me. He was just driving to go. I didn't want him to go. So, I rushed to stop him..."
Officer Xu narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a while, as if thinking, and finally nodded slowly: "Well, since you said so."
Then he turned his head and looked at Chen Xiao. "Mr. Chen Xiao, how about you? Can you describe to me what happened then?
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and whispered, "I was going to this lady's house. Well, I had a job as an English tutor for her daughter. I went there and saw that the car was about to hit the lady. I rushed to save her and pushed her away.
Officer Xu seemed to laugh. His eyes flashed and he seemed to laugh. "Oh? So you pushed the lady away? Didn't you get hurt when the car crashed?
Chen Xiao hardened his scalp: "The automobile... It didn't hit me." His thoughts gradually flowed, his face pretended to be calm: "At that time I pushed the lady away and saw the car crash, I was frightened to death, thinking that I might be finished this time. But then, the car suddenly changed its direction and passed me without hitting me. Well, I guess it was the gentleman who responded in time. As a result, the car ran out of control and hit the green belt next to it.
"You mean, the car turned itself?" Officer Xu looked at Chen Xiao with a smile. Chen Xiao was a little nervous when he saw it, but he could only harden his scalp: "Yes."
"Then why have you been in a coma for so long?"
Chen Xiao grabbed the back of his head and said, "Uh... Maybe it's because I'm scared. As you know, people will faint under extreme fear."
Officer Xu's keen eyes stared at Chen Xiao for a long time, and he did not know what he was thinking. But eventually he laughed and slowly closed the transcript: "Okay, then..."
He had stood up and looked at Chen Xiao and the lady. "Both of you were frightened. Please have a good rest first." If there is any problem with this matter, we will contact you again."
Officer Xu had said goodbye, but before went to the door of the ward, he stopped deliberately, turned around and looked at Chen Xiao, with a smile on his face: "Chen Xiao, your body is recovering very quickly. After the hijacking three days ago, I also saw you in the hospital, and you were badly hurt back then.
After that, he had pushed the door out.
Chen Xiao's face suddenly changed!
After the hijacking three days ago, I was in the hospital with many bandages wrapped around my arms and chest and some bone fractures. I couldn't even walk steadily at that time! This officer Xu can see it all!
Looking at himself now, his arms are bare, his skin is smooth and intact... Where are the scars?
Involuntarily, cold sweat came out.

[Off-topic remark: Some readers reacted. Compared with my previous urban novels, the style of this book has changed a lot, which makes everyone a little unsuitable. Many readers who have responded like this will compare my previous book, The Rising Evil Spirit.
I think the difference is certain. When I thought it was conceived, evil spirit made the tone. With blood, struggle, dignified atmosphere, and human torture, etc., to form a rigid urban novel.
And the original idea is different, as I said, I don't want to repeat the same style. The style of evil spirit is more realistic, and the style is harder. But this Heavenly Monarch, I have conceived a "light novel", not too heavy and dignified. After all, this book is a city power, since it is a power, naturally can not be too realistic.
Moreover, the character of the protagonist and the big circle of small five brothers in evil spirit are totally different from each other. The protagonist character in evil spirit is a person who is warm-blooded, righteous, impulsive and mixed with the underworld.
Chen Xiao, on the other hand, is a kind, simple and precocious teenager.
Different concepts, different locations, different personalities of the protagonists, the feeling of natural writing is also different.
Moreover, after all, this is not a sequel to the evil spirit, and it has nothing to do with the evil spirit. The style of the two completely different novels is certainly different.
After all, this is a new story.
I know many brothers who say these words are actually very fond of the original evil spirit. I am very happy, but also want to say to you: after all, this is a new story, there will be new and different attractions. I won't repeat the evil and awesome routine.
So, please look at it patiently, I believe you will gradually like the story, like the protagonist Chen Xiao. ]
