Chapter 194 Finding Help

At the end of January, Qiu Shiyue was wearing a cotton-padded coat. Even with the blizzard hitting hard, it only managed to scratch her skin. She couldn't sustain serious injuries, but she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

The eldest daughter suddenly appeared at the corner of the stairs, looking at the blizzard on the ground with a puzzled expression: "Sis, the hospital called the team and said you weren't here. Sister Sasha told me to come back and check, and you're actually here. What's going on here...?"

Blood rushed to his head, and his anger surged, causing his vision to blur and his teeth to loosen.

The moment Qiu Shiyue escaped, Blizzard pointed at her and said, "Don't let her get away."

After saying that, he fainted again.

When she regained consciousness, the ceiling and the blankets were all white. She couldn't remember how she got back to the hospital.

With no one around, she sat up, pulled the needle from the back of her hand, got out of bed, and put on her shoes.

There were no shoes on the ground.

Just as she was about to step out barefoot, Da Di came in from outside, carrying a roll of toilet paper. He casually put it aside and jogged over to help her. "Don't move."

"No, I'm going back to settle accounts with Qiu Shiyue."

However, Dadi was very strong, and Blizzard couldn't overpower her.

Dadi: "Lie down and listen to me."

She could only lie there obediently, and the nurse was called to give her another injection.

Dadi moved a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"The team knows about this. Don't worry, Qiu Shiyue didn't escape, but the consequences weren't too serious."

Blizzard sat bolt upright in shock: "What did those two fish do to provoke her to do something so inhumane? Won't the team punish her?"

“I didn’t go when she was called away for questioning. I heard from Da Ya that Qiu Shiyue said you kept pets in the dormitory, which was disturbing the neighbors, but she kept quiet out of consideration for her teammates.”

"Today she saw the door was open and went in, thinking there was a thief. Once inside, she found the fish weren't in the tank; they must have jumped out. She didn't notice and accidentally stepped on them. She said it wasn't intentional, and she was very apologetic, offering to compensate you with four fish..."

"Is it enough to just compensate with four fish?" Blizzard was furious.

Dadi expressed her helplessness, since there were no surveillance cameras in the girls' dormitory. She also felt guilty, saying, "It must be because I didn't notice the door wasn't locked when I changed the water for the fish."

Blizzard didn't believe it: "But when I went in, she was holding Sasha's doll, which was obviously meant to be torn. How does she explain that?"

"Qiu Shiyue said I knocked it over when I was changing the water, but I really can't remember. The doll was right next to Sasha's pillow, and sometimes I would touch it. I don't know if I knocked it over when I turned over..."

"Wait a minute," Blizzard corrected her, "You don't change the water at a fixed time, do you?"

Da Di shook his head. "I only change it when I have time and the water happens to be dirty."

"How come Qiu Shiyue just happened to see you forget to close the door this time, and also saw that you knocked the doll over?"

Dadi thought for a moment, then said, "I don't know."

Blizzard covered his face with his hands, his voice coming through his fingers: "Is the baby alright?"

"Sasha looked at it and said it was fine, it was just dirty, and it would be fine after washing."

She felt powerless. "Tell me the truth, why was she punished so lightly? Is there any other reason?" There wasn't even a medical examination.

Dadi wasn't there at the time, so she didn't know much about what happened; she only heard about it.

"You wouldn't know if you weren't home, but I heard that a boss wants to sponsor the team to hold a competition, as the exclusive title sponsor, and he specifically requested that Qiu Shiyue be a key player and must participate. He also wants the team to endorse some kind of product, and the endorsement fee is quite high."

Blizzard analyzed the pros and cons, and his mind gradually cleared.

"That boss, I guess his surname is Qiu."

Da Di shook her head; she didn't know.

Seeing that Blizzard had buried her head in the blanket and remained silent for a long time, she didn't know how to comfort her. She patted her and said gently, "Today is the 29th of the lunar year. The team is on holiday. Are you going home or staying at the hospital?"

After saying that, he realized he had said something pointless. "Oh right, you don't want to tell your parents you're injured and can't go home. Here's what we'll do: you rest well today, and I'll come pick you up early tomorrow morning to go back to the team for the New Year. We'll all be with you."

Blizzard poked his head out from under the covers: "You guys have been thinking about what delicious food to eat when you go home since summer. You finally have a holiday this year, and there are no competitions after the New Year, so you don't have to rush. Why are you staying in the team instead of going home?"

"Sasha and the others would definitely be willing to accompany you."

“I don’t want to.” Blizzard sat up. “When you get back, just tell them my parents know, they’re coming to Beijing to be with me, and you guys can go about your business.”

"Then you're all alone now."

"Let's go, I'm sleepy."

Da Di was afraid that arguing with her would cause her to faint again, so he quickly nodded and left.

After leaving the hospital and getting into the car, I realized I seemed to have forgotten something. I thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember, so I put it out of my mind and started thinking about how lavish the New Year's Eve dinner would be tomorrow.

Blizzard closed his eyes, and every scene from the beginning to the present flashed through his mind—laughter, indignation, sweat, and helplessness—until he thought of Qiu Shiyue.

"Ding Ding Ding"

The call came.

"I just found a needle in Sister Sasha's pillow," the eldest girl whispered. "She told me not to tell you, but I feel like you definitely want to know."

Blizzard's lips trembled. "Did you ask Qiu Shiyue?"

The eldest girl said, "I looked for her, but I couldn't find her. I haven't seen her since the coach asked her questions."

Suddenly someone opened the door.

Blizzard immediately put down her phone and lay down, hoping that Qiu Shiyue had arrived and would do something drastic to her. The hospital has surveillance cameras; if anything happened to her, Qiu Shiyue would definitely be implicated.

However, the result disappointed her.

The newcomer put down what he was holding and sat in the spot where Da Di had just been sitting, followed by the sound of an apple being peeled.

"What are you thinking about if you're not asleep?" Jiang Yang suddenly asked.

Blizzard opened his eyes and looked at him: "I want your help."

He held an apple in his left hand and a knife in his right, staring intently at the apple: "Okay."

He agreed so readily that Blizzard wondered if he had misheard. "Aren't you going to ask me what you need my help with?"

"I won't ask. I'll do whatever you say."

"why."

Jiang Yang didn't even look up: "For performance. Without performance, I can't be promoted."

Blizzard breathed a sigh of relief, though they didn't know why they felt relieved.

"Don't worry, I just need you to use your professional knowledge to help me. I won't let you break the law or commit any crimes, and I'll give you the money at the market price."

He nodded and handed her the peeled apple.

Blizzard took the apple but didn't eat it, and simply explained his thought process.

Jiang Yang simply nodded, offering no objection.

She said, "I suddenly realized that it seems like you're always there for me whenever I need help."

"Wherever there are achievements, there I will be."

Blizzard asked, "But you didn't ask for money back then with Sasha."

"Because I didn't ask for money that time, I have work today."

"That makes perfect sense," Blizzard whispered. "I thought you'd always been so laid-back about your work."

When he was a music teacher, he didn't seek professional titles or leadership positions; he simply taught children to sing. It turns out that at that time, he would plan ahead for his work and not let any potential clients slip by.

Jiang Yang still didn't hear the second half of her sentence, and said, "I got your old phone back for you."
