Chapter 209 I Don’t Know That Person
"The old woman is dead."
She closed the door and leaned her back against it.
After saying this, he raised his hand dejectedly and touched his hair.
She didn't even notice the sweat that appeared on her forehead.
Now, feeling the wetness on my fingertips, I suddenly came to my senses.
He looked at his fingers awkwardly, wiped them on his clothes woodenly, and walked towards the bed.
Pei Yan's hand was on the piece of cloth that Gu Chaoxi had pressed earlier. Now he was sitting calmly on the edge of the bed, and he didn't seem to be very surprised to hear her words.
"I think burying Zhao Baiyi in ice is just to delay time."
"Ah."
Gu Chaoxi responded and fell silent again.
Although I already knew why Zhao Baiyi was buried in ice, I still felt a little cold in my heart.
These nobles certainly do not care about the lives of lower class people, but in order to evade their own responsibilities, it is only convenient for them to find a scapegoat.
Zhao Baiyi just happened to be chosen as that target.
"Who would want to get rid of Helena? She came on board just to take the Night Pearl back."
Gu Chaoxi's voice was not loud, and it sounded more like he was talking to himself.
"But if Helena discovers something else..."
"What is her attitude towards the Wilfors family? Does Wilfors know that she is on board?"
"Is her death... related to the transaction that Brief saw?"
She thought about it, but there seemed to be something blocking her view and she couldn't see the road ahead clearly.
Silence spread in the room and Pei Yan didn't say anything.
It was not until a long while later that the knock on the door brought the two people back to their senses.
Gu Chaoxi suddenly stood up, walked over and opened the door. Qin Wei was standing outside the door holding a first aid kit, and his head seemed to be wet.
She moved sideways to pull the person in, took a look at the silent corridor, and then closed the door behind her.
“It’s raining outside.”
Realizing that Pei Yan was staring at her, Qin Wei quickly explained, then squatted beside the bed and began to fiddle with the first aid kit.
Gu Chaoxi walked over to help, and when he squatted down he heard Qin Wei speak again.
“The ones in the cab have been dealt with and now have new people in place.”
"I negotiated with them and heard that it was Melton who discovered the abnormality in the cab, so they cleaned it up."
"But I took the time to look at the blueprints, and the route that was changed back was actually the one that was changed the first time."
"Now it's equivalent to, the route is still wrong."
As she spoke, she had already taken out alcohol and cotton cloth from the first aid kit.
Zhao Baiyi's wound needed to be disinfected first, so Gu Chaoxi lifted the piece of clothes a little higher so that Qin Wei could see it clearly.
When the alcohol was poured on him, Zhao Baiyi's whole body trembled and he groaned.
Gu Chaoxi raised his eyes and saw that Zhao Baiyi had not woken up yet, but his tightly closed brows told him that he was about to wake up.
Pei Yan walked over and sat down beside the bed, touching Zhao Baiyi's shoulder unnoticeably.
Even if he suddenly wanted to come over and struggle, it would be useless.
Qin Wei cleaned the area around the wound with cotton cloth and took out some bottles and jars from the first aid kit.
These things are labeled in English, probably some kind of medicine.
Qin Wei picked out a bottle of powder and took out some clean gauze and cotton swabs.
"Little cutie, pour some on it for me."
She folded the tampon into a rectangle just big enough to cover the knife wound.
Gu Chaoxi unscrewed the bottle, shook out the powder inside, and reached out to the wound.
After sniffing, Gu Chaoxi moved his wrist and the powder in the bottle was sprinkled on the wound.
"hiss!"
This time it was a very clear moan, and Zhao Baiyi's body moved along with it.
But Pei Yan's hand was pressed, and he didn't make any big movements, but his expression seemed even more painful.
Without hesitation, Gu Chaoxi shook his hands quickly twice, and a pile of powder fell down.
Qin Wei quickly pressed the rectangular cotton strip on the wound, and then pulled open the gauze and pressed it on.
After the wound is treated with medicine, it needs to be bandaged to better suppress bleeding and recovery.
Gu Chaoxi put the bottle aside and helped Qin Wei tie the gauze on.
After going around twice, Qin Wei tied a knot on the side of Zhao Baiyi's waist.
"I want...water?"
Pei Yan turned his head after hearing intermittent voices. Zhao Baiyi had woken up at some point.
He raised his hand and pointed towards the table, where there was a small kettle.
Gu Chaoxi raised his eyes and saw Pei Yan had already reached out to take it.
Qin Wei stood up and stepped back, and Pei Yan helped Zhao Baiyi sit up from the bed.
He leaned against the head of the bed, took the kettle handed to him by Pei Yan, unscrewed it and took a small sip. Only then did he feel his throat was slightly better.
Looking at the inquiring looks from the three people in front of him, Zhao Baiyi also knew what they wanted to ask.
However, after curling his lips, Zhao Baiyi was unable to give them an answer that would satisfy them.
"I don't know that man."
He shook his head and smiled sadly.
"Maybe the other party knows me, but I really haven't seen him."
When he said he knew someone, of course he meant that the other person knew Brief, but he was not the real Brief and had no memory of Brief at all.
So, he didn't know who stabbed him.
"Tell me, what's the situation?"
Pei Yan turned sideways and looked at Zhao Baiyi.
After a long pause, he seemed to remember something and his gaze slowly fell on Pei Yan.
"I woke up suddenly and heard Helena knocking on the door. She called my name, so I opened the door."
"Who knew that after she came in, she nervously pulled me and said that she accidentally knew about Wilfors's conspiracy and we were going to die."
"I really don't know what she was talking about. When the footsteps sounded outside, Helena seemed like a different person. Her eyes almost popped out of her head."
"She suddenly became very strong and pinched my arm. I was so scared that I pushed her out."
"The footsteps outside hadn't stopped yet. I didn't dare to look, so I closed the door tightly."
"Helena was calling me from outside, but I didn't dare to open the door again, and then I passed out."
"When I woke up, I was lying on the floor, and I saw someone rummaging around in the bed."
"Then the man saw that I was awake, so he picked me up and pushed me into the bucket, and stabbed me hard with a knife."
"I wanted to yell for help, but after he raised his hand, I couldn't feel anything."
"When I regained consciousness, you were the ones bandaging my wounds."
After he finished his slow narration, Gu Chaoxi roughly understood something.
"Did the man say what he was looking for?"
"No." Zhao Baiyi shook his head.
But soon, he nodded again: "But he said that it doesn't matter if we can't find it, because everyone will be buried with that thing anyway."
