Chapter 239 Xu Damao's Kindness
When the police station finally classified the incident as a pure accident, Xu Damao's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
The nerve that had been tense for a long time seemed to be relieved and gradually relaxed.
Returning to the dimly lit room of his home, Xu Damao's mood could only be described as ecstatic.
He was so excited that he could not sit still, but paced back and forth excitedly in the small space like a ferocious wild animal that had just escaped from its cage and regained its freedom.
His originally gloomy face was now completely filled with an unconcealable joy.
That smile not only revealed a hint of pride, but also a bit of relief and satisfaction after a lucky escape.
"Haha! It's finally alright! I've said it before, this matter was handled perfectly, no one can put the blame on me."
Xu Damao kept muttering to himself, as if he was announcing his victory to the world.
At this moment, a beautiful picture has emerged in his mind: the future days will be smooth and peaceful, and all previous worries and fears will disappear like smoke.
Indeed, he now felt as if he had an indestructible amulet.
Whenever someone raised questions or expressed doubts about the incident, he would simply mention the conclusion given by the police station - "The police station has already determined the nature of the matter, why are you guys still making random guesses here?"
Often, once such a sentence is uttered, it can be like an invisible high wall, blocking all the questioning voices outside the wall and making them gradually disappear into the air.
In front of everyone, he could regain his previous arrogant appearance and stride through the courtyard with his head held high. It seemed that all the haze had been dispelled, and he was still the eloquent and glorious Xu Damao in the courtyard.
However, beneath this seemingly calm appearance, there is still an uneasy stone stirring up waves in his heart, and that is Sha Zhu.
He knew very well how obstinate and stubborn Sha Zhu was, and he was not someone who would easily swallow this humiliation.
"Silly Zhu, oh silly Zhu, stop struggling in vain."
Although Xu Damao was comforting himself in this way, a trace of worry was still with him.
He knew that Sha Zhu would not give up so easily, and he had to be more careful and not let Sha Zhu find any evidence against him.
So, during the days when Sha Zhu was recovering from his injury, Xu Damao began his seemingly well-intentioned "care journey".
He often entered the hospital wards carrying large and small bags filled with all kinds of expensive nutritional supplements and tempting delicacies.
The nutritional supplement was packaged beautifully and gorgeously, and the aroma of delicious food filled the air around the bag, as if showing his "sincerity" to the world.
On this day, the sunlight shone through the mottled leaves onto the hospital corridor, creating patches of light and shadow.
Xu Damao appeared at the door of Sha Zhu's ward again.
He deliberately tidied his clothes, smoothed the corners of his clothes, straightened his collar, and his face was full of smiles. That smile looked so kind, but in Sha Zhu's eyes it was extremely dazzling, like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart.
"Brother Shazhu, I'm here to see you!"
Xu Damao greeted warmly and strode into the ward. His footsteps were particularly loud in the quiet ward.
He placed the things in his hands one by one on the cabinet beside the bed, his movements exaggerated and deliberate.
"Look, I brought you a chicken soup that has been stewed for a long time. I found the most famous chef in the city to cook it. He used only the best ingredients. It is a tonic. The chef told me that the chicken is a free-range chicken in the countryside. It has been stewed for several hours, and all the nutrients are in the soup. And this braised pork just out of the pot, I specially asked the chef of the restaurant to put more sugar, knowing that you like sweet food. The meat is fat and lean pork belly, which is not greasy at all. You must accept this piece of my heart."
Sha Zhu was originally staring out the window in a daze, his eyes were empty and confused, and his thoughts were drifting to who knows where. Hearing Xu Damao's voice, he slowly turned his head, and his eyes instantly ignited with raging anger, like a volcanic eruption.
His lips trembled slightly, and he shouted with all his strength: "Xu Damao, get out! I don't want to see you!"
The voice was filled with anger and hatred, echoing in the ward and shaking the windows so much that they seemed to tremble slightly.
Xu Damao seemed not to hear anything and continued to approach the bed with a smile on his face, but that smile looked increasingly fake and artificial.
"Silly Zhu, why are you doing this? Didn't we agree before that we would make peace and be good brothers in the future? It really hurts me that you treat me like this. I really want to make peace with you, why don't you believe me?"
Sha Zhu was so angry that he tightly grasped the quilt with both hands. His knuckles turned white from the force and veins bulged on his forehead, like wriggling earthworms.
"You dare to mention brother to me? You despicable villain, don't think I don't know that you are behind this! All these injuries on my body are caused by you, and you are still pretending here, bah!"
His saliva was flying out, and it was obvious that his anger had reached its peak.
Xu Damao's smile froze on his face, and his face, which was originally full of smiles, instantly became extremely awkward.
He scratched his head awkwardly and tried to explain: "Shazhu, you can't wrongly accuse people. The police station has already investigated it clearly. It was an accident. I was so drunk at the time that I couldn't even walk steadily. How could I hurt you? I sincerely want you to get better soon, so please don't misunderstand me anymore. You treat me like this now, which really makes me feel cold. I do this for your own good, why don't you appreciate it?"
Sha Zhu was so angry that he was shaking all over, veins popping out on his forehead: "Stop pretending to be stupid here! What brother? How can you be a brother like you? I am in this state now, do you dare to say that it wasn't you who did it behind my back? I know it clearly in my heart, it must be you who did it, don't deny it! Do you think that sending some food can shut me up and make me stop pursuing the matter? You are too naive!"
"Misunderstanding? Do you think I will believe your lies?"
Sha Zhu's eyes widened with anger, as if they were about to spit fire. "We have been at odds for so many years, and you are suddenly kind enough to come and see me? Do you think I am a three-year-old child? I think you are guilty, so you took so many things and wanted me to give them up. I tell you, forget it. Even if I risk my life, I must find out the truth and make you receive the punishment you deserve."
Xu Damao waved his hands quickly, and the smile on his face became a little stiff: "Shazhu, you can't slander me. The police station has already investigated it clearly. It was an accident. I was drunk at the time and couldn't even stand steadily. How could I have the ability to hurt you? Look at my good intentions. I came all the way to bring you food, but you treat me as an enemy. It's really unfair for you to treat me like this."
Sha Zhu snorted coldly: "You are just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to chickens - you have no good intentions. Do you think that sending some food can shut me up and make me stop pursuing the matter? I tell you, as long as I am still alive, I will definitely find out the truth and make you receive the punishment you deserve. Don't think you can get away with it. Sooner or later, your conspiracy will be exposed."
There was a flash of fear in Xu Damao's eyes, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Silly Zhu, if you really think so, you are totally wrong. I really want to reconcile with you. It's not good for both of us if you keep misunderstanding me like this. Think about it carefully. Although I, Xu Damao, have some minor frictions with you, I would never do such a cruel thing. I have always regarded you as a brother, you can't treat me like this."
Sha Zhu sneered: "Xu Damao, do you believe what you said? I know who you are. Don't waste your time here, get out of here!"
Xu Damao sighed helplessly, with a barely perceptible panic flashing in his eyes: "Shazhu, I know you're upset now, but you can't take it out on me. How can you not see my good intentions? I really want to help you and make you get better soon."
"Get out! I don't want to hear another word from you!" Sha Zhu picked up a teacup next to him and threw it hard at Xu Damao.
Xu Damao quickly dodged to the side, the teacup brushed past his shoulder and fell to the ground with a clang, breaking into pieces.
The shattering sound was particularly harsh in the silent ward, as if it was Sha Zhu's broken heart screaming.
Xu Damao looked at the fragments on the ground, his anger growing, but he still forced himself not to lose it.
He knew that getting into a conflict with Shazhu now would only make things worse.
"Silly Zhu, calm down first. I'll come back to see you in a few days."
After saying that, he hurriedly left the ward, his back looking somewhat embarrassed and flustered.
Xu Damao returned home and sat on the somewhat worn-out chair, unable to calm down for a long time.
He thought to himself: "Why is this idiot Zhu so stubborn? The police station has already closed the case, but he is still holding on to it."
But think about it, after Sha Zhu made his family extinct, he has been trying to find ways to take revenge, so it is normal for Sha Zhu to have such thoughts.
Therefore, I have to be more careful in the future and not let Sha Zhu get the chance.
