The dating place was again in Amiga Club where they met last time. Jiang Youyou was wearing business suit, for she had no time to go home for another dress. But she looked smart and capable in business dress, totally different from the dejected and helpless appearance she had at that time. Women were indeed changeable. Pu Yuanhui thought. At first Xiang Lizhi captured his heart in the same way Jiang Youyou dressed now. Who should know that she turned to be uglier than a worn housewife and as bad-tempered as a bossy lady from a rich family? Women were indeed changeable, while men were always buying the same kind of things. Some married men tended to have love affairs with a girl who was just the same as his wife.
Pu Yuanhui felt somewhat headache to see such a Jiang Youyou. He looked at her quietly.
“You miss me a lot?” Pu Yuanhui was a little proud but felt a bit aggrieved, not looking like a gang leader at all. “Why didn’t you give me phone call for such a long time? Where are you working now? Are you happy with your work? Have you recovered now?
Jiang Youyou looked at the man. The first time she saw him, she thought he was a god. Only god could appear at such a desperate time, only god could save her. His eyes that were full of curiosity and pity, and the hand he stretched out to her, saved her.
The god was everyone’s god. If she selfishly took him as hers, she would be punished. She tried for a moment to restrain herself, then answered, “Thank you for your concern, Brother Pu. But I thought it was not good to disturb you, in case you were busy?”
“Then you could still send me a message.”
“What if your wife finds me sending you the message? She’ll certainly misunderstand.” Jiang Youyou was showing consideration for him.
“We have been separated.” Pu Yuanhui said calmly.
“Ah, how could it be? In fact I thought you look like very much a good husband.” Jiang Youyou was startled.
“You don’t have to be surprised, nor be happy.” Pu Yuanhui thought the remarks were made quite offhandedly. “She had her way of life, and I have mine. She had a boyfriend more handsome than I, and I don’t want to stop her to pursue her happiness. If she asks for a divorce, I’ll be there. Let’s drop the subject and order something to eat.
The tomato-sauce-stained yellow spaghetti mixed with steak was much like a hill sprinkled with chocolate. If the spaghetti was rain strands and the tomato sauce was the sunshine, then the dish was the rainbow-anyone who was in good mood would see it this way. Jiang Youyou felt heartily happy, perhaps because she subconsciously hoped Pu Yuanhui to be single again. Perhaps every woman who fell in love with a married man would subconsciously hope to hear such words as “separated, unhappy, unharmonious, upset, without a common language, lack of passion, incompatible personalities, and so on and so forth. “But what did all of these have to do with you? And why should you be so happy?” Jiang Youyou thought.
“I’m now working in a foreign trade company, and everything is going on well.” Jiang Youyou slowly cut off the steak, the blood inside made her feel a little worried about Mad Cow Disease.
“Are you dating with someone? You’re so young.” Pu Yuanhui concerned this greatly.
“Oh, so-so. Eh, I’m here to ask for your help. I know you’re very capable, ’cause you in the Shenzhen Underworld. Mine is a very important thing.” Jiang Youyou looked at Pu Yuanhui with her pleading eyes.
“I can’t, can’t, can’t, can’t decline such adoring eyes.” Pu Yuanhui said within himself.
“What I can do to help you, just let me know. I suppose it’s not easy for you to live and work in Shenzhen alone, without parents.” Pu Yuanhui poured a cup of bubble tea for Jiang Youyou, and said, “Look, there are so many bubbles in this cup of bubble black tea, the one who helped to spit to produce bubbles must be so tired that he foamed at mouth.”
“Ha ha ha!” Jiang Youyou laughed. It was unexpected that this uncle could tell a joke, and his joke seemed rather cold.
Actually everyone had a gift for telling jokes, depending on who was the listener.
“Here is the thing. I have a friend, a very good friend in my company who is very kind to me. But then she got pregnant. At the beginning everything was ok. But later it seemed that her boyfriend told him he didn’t want the child, then she went mad and finally she suicide herself by jumping off the company building.” Jiang Youyou couldn’t bear to recall the scene, ’cause it would spoil her appetite for the steak.
“Since she had already died, then what can I do for you?”
“Her mother said she got her work in a rather strange way. It was when she was staying at the hospital, she got to know a doctor got the job on his recommendation. Before long she got pregnant. I want to know what on earth happened to her.” Jiang Youyou took a sip of tea.
“Oh? So what do you wanna me do? Your friend’s man really wasn’t a true man. Someone wanted very much to have a child but failed, while some other people were to abandon their child when they had. A man in satiety dimply knew nothing of the hunger of a hungry man. He never knew when he was well off.”
Jiang Youyou said, “I want you to help me find a nurse in the hospital, by some irregular means. I suspect…” She was somewhat hesitating. Last time when she talked about her own experience she just skipped out on the plots of her working as a guinea pig until she was gang raped and of An Hua’s being murdered and discarded in the street. Those were not warm stories but rather bloody.
So should she talk about it now? She was somewhat hesitant.
“I had been in that hospital once. A doctor and a nurse gave me a drip. Later my first night was given to this doctor. The drug I tested was terrible, I was dizzy all day after taking it. When at the end of the trial the doctor bought me some beautiful dress and took me to a party. An old man said, this was a night for you young people, had a happy night. He opened a bottle of champagne, then disappeared. At that time, the music around me was sexily oblique and the lights were blurred. Someone began to burn incense, smelling very much like the flavor of a flower, rosebush or water lily. The smell could soothe your breath after you inhaled it. It made you feel the world was very illusory and life was so short. I thought that was the psychedelic incense, because I couldn’t control myself at all after that. The doctor held my by hand. There was the power failure. The doctor took me into a room built by transparent glass. Then four men raped me in turn, I feel scared and humiliated. I saw him and the nurse. The nurse gave me another drip, and I got sexually stimulated. I had ceaseless orgasm, but I was clear-headed. I saw the doctor keeping a record of the number of times I was in heat and my performance. The nurse said Doctor Bai asked her to tell me that the trial was over and thanked me for my cooperation. She told me that I needn’t go back to the hospital from that day on and it was useless for you to look for him. The nurse gave me one hundred thousand yuan in cash. That was why I was spotted and robbed by the man. I chased after him in the street, and then I met you. That was all for the thing. I think we might find out something from Zhao Huixin’s clue. After all, this is a matter of human life.”
Jiang Youyou herself didn’t even notice that she was in floods of tears.
“The doctor was really a damn guitty.” Pu Yuanhui felt jealous and indignant as well. The beast took advantage of the girl’s trust to do bad things that would hurt the girl all her life.
“I don’t want to kill anyone, for after all I did it by choice. In addition, he paid me money. I thought it’s a good thing for me to be unable to feel pain.” Jiang Youyou wiped tears off her cheeks. “I only suspect if my colleague had suffered the same experience as me. I think it’ll be easier to get such information from that nurse.”
“Do you know her name?”
“Her name is Zeng Yuan.” Jiang Youyou looked at Pu Yuanhui with expectation. Pu is the man she now trusted very much.
Some trust was inborn, just as some love would leave in a hurry.
