Chapter 1694 An Invisible Force

Qin Yuan looked at Du Wei's carefree look, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. But he knew that now was not the time to lose his temper. He had to stay calm and get the truth from Du Wei.

"Du Wei, your sister's confession does not explain everything." Qin Yuan spoke slowly, revealing an unquestionable firmness in his tone, "We suspect that there are deeper secrets behind this case. And you may be the key to unlocking this secret."

Du Wei's eyes flickered, and he obviously didn't expect Qin Yuan to say that. But he quickly regained his composure and continued, "Humph, you policemen will just guess. My sister has confessed, what secrets can there be?"

Qin Yuan looked at Du Wei, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart. He knew that this young man was not simple, and he had to be careful. "Du Wei, you and your sister have a close relationship, right? You can't be ignorant of her affairs." Qin Yuan's words were tentative.

Du Wei's eyes flickered again. He was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Yes, my relationship with my sister is very good. But I really don't know much about her affairs. She just said that she killed someone and asked me not to care."

A sharp light flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes, as if he had caught something. "Du Wei, you lied!" He slammed the table and stood up, "There is definitely more between you and your sister! What are you hiding? Tell me!"

Du Wei was startled by Qin Yuan's sudden attack. He stared at Qin Yuan with wide eyes as if he was looking at a monster. "You...what makes you say I lied?" His voice trembled a little, obviously frightened by Qin Yuan's momentum.

"Because you can't know nothing about your sister!" Qin Yuan pressed on step by step, his eyes fixed on Du Wei's eyes, "Your sister's confession was too smooth, there must be something wrong behind it! And you are the key to solving this problem!"

"Du Wei, let's talk." Qin Yuan's voice was gentle and powerful, like a warm current, trying to penetrate the frost in Du Wei's heart.

Du Wei was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Qin Yuan to say that. He hesitated for a moment, but finally made way for Qin Yuan to enter the house. The house was simple and messy, with beer cans and fast food boxes scattered everywhere, and a rotten smell in the air. Qin Yuan found a relatively clean place to sit down and motioned Du Wei to sit down as well.

"Do you know why I came to you?" Qin Yuan spoke first, staring at Du Wei's eyes.

Du Wei lowered his head and avoided Qin Yuan's gaze. "I know, it's because of my sister's matter." His voice was low and hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Your sister's matter is only part of it." Qin Yuan shook his head, revealing a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Du Wei, do you know that by doing this, you not only ruin yourself, but also your family. Your sister has paid a huge price to take the blame for you."

Du Wei's body trembled slightly, he raised his head, and his eyes flashed with complex emotions. "I... I know. But I really can't help it. I was so scared at the time. I didn't know what to do." There was a hint of crying in his voice, as if he was telling the pain in his heart.

Qin Yuan looked at Du Wei, and a wave of sympathy surged in his heart. He knew that this young man was not a born criminal, but was pushed into the abyss step by step by the pressure of life and wrong choices. He decided to try to awaken the kindness and courage in his heart.

"Du Wei, do you know? Life is like a journey. Sometimes we will go the wrong way, but it is important that we have the courage to admit our mistakes and find the right direction again." Qin Yuan's words were gentle and powerful, as if he was guiding Du Wei out of the maze.

Du Wei was silent, he lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Qin Yuan knew that he couldn't be impatient at this time, and he needed to give him enough time to digest and understand. So he waited quietly, waiting for Du Wei's response.

After a long time, Du Wei finally raised his head, with a firm light in his eyes. "Officer Qin, you are right. I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't run away, and I shouldn't let my sister bear all this for me." His voice was trembling, but full of determination.

Qin Yuan's eyes flashed with relief. He knew that his words had touched Du Wei's heart. He patted Du Wei on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Du Wei, I am really glad that you can think so. Now, it's not too late. Come back with me, confess everything to the police, and strive for a chance to reform."

Du Wei nodded, tears flashing in his eyes. He stood up and looked at Qin Yuan deeply, as if he was making a final farewell. "Officer Qin, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might still be going further and further on the wrong path." His voice was full of gratitude and respect.

Qin Yuan smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't have to be polite. He took Du Wei out of the dim room and walked towards a bright future. Under the lights of the police car, the figures of the two looked particularly firm and powerful.

After returning to the police station, Qin Yuan personally handled the surrender procedures for Du Wei. In the interrogation room, Du Wei explained his crimes and motives in detail, and every detail revealed his inner regret and self-blame. Qin Yuan looked at him, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that although this young man had made a mistake, he was still kind-hearted and could still be saved.

"Du Wei, you can turn yourself in voluntarily, which means you have realized your mistakes." Qin Yuan's voice was gentle and powerful. "Next, what you have to do is to reform yourself and strive to return to society as soon as possible. Remember, there is no turning back in life, but every step counts."

Du Wei nodded, with a firm light in his eyes. He knew that although he had lost a lot, he still had a future to fight for. He looked at Qin Yuan, his heart full of gratitude and respect. "Officer Qin, I will remember your words. I will reform myself and strive to get out as soon as possible and start a new life." His voice was full of determination and courage.

The case finally came to an end, but Qin Yuan did not feel relieved. He knew that the social problems reflected behind this case were far more complicated and profound than the case itself.

The setting sun was like blood, sprinkled on every corner of the military camp, and covered this solemn land with a layer of tragic color. Qin Yuan took firm steps and returned to his familiar recruit company. This was the place where his dream set sail, and it was also the battlefield where he fought side by side with his comrades. However, today, he returned with a heavy heart, because he heard a disturbing news.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, Qin Yuan saw Duan Jinglin busy packing his luggage, his movements were quick and powerful, as if every moment was urgent. His face was full of anxiety and uneasiness, and his eyes revealed an unspeakable sadness. Qin Yuan's heart tightened, he knew that Duan Jinglin must have encountered something big.

"Jinglin, what are you doing?" Qin Yuan walked up and asked softly, trying to read something from Duan Jinglin's expression.

Duan Jinglin looked up and saw that it was Qin Yuan, and his eyes were instantly wet. "Brother Yuan, you are back..." His voice was low and hoarse, as if every word was carrying a heavy burden.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Qin Yuan stared at Duan Jinglin's eyes, trying to get an answer from him.

Duan Jinglin took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner emotions. "My dad...my dad was hit by a car and is still in the ICU..." His voice trembled, tears rolled in his eyes, but never fell.

Qin Yuan's heart sank suddenly. He didn't expect such news. He knew what Duan Jinglin's father meant to him. He was the most important person in his life and his spiritual pillar. He quickly stepped forward and held Duan Jinglin's hand tightly. "Jinglin, don't worry, tell me, what's the situation now?"

Duan Jinglin wiped his tears and said with grief: "Last night, my dad was hit by a drunk driver on the way home. When he was sent to the hospital, he was unconscious and is still in the ICU..." His voice choked and tears blurred his vision again.

Qin Yuan frowned, he knew the pain and helplessness in Duan Jinglin's heart at this moment. He patted Duan Jinglin on the shoulder and said firmly: "Jinglin, pack up, I will go back with you. Now, you are not fighting alone, I am here, and all of us are here."

Duan Jinglin was stunned for a moment, he looked up at Qin Yuan, his eyes flashing with gratitude. "Brother Yuan, this... how can I be so embarrassed? You just came back, you should have a good rest..." His voice was full of hesitation and reluctance.

Qin Yuan shook his head and interrupted Duan Jinglin's words. "Jinglin, we are comrades-in-arms and brothers. Your business is my business. Now, your father needs us, how can we stand idly by?" His tone was firm and powerful, as if injecting an invisible force into Duan Jinglin.

Duan Jinglin looked at Qin Yuan, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that with Qin Yuan, he was no longer alone. He nodded and said gratefully: "Brother Yuan, thank you. I really feel at ease with you here."

The two quickly packed their luggage, asked for leave from the company commander, and hurried to the station. Along the way, Qin Yuan was comforting Duan Jinglin, trying to make him relax. However, Duan Jinglin's heart could not calm down, his thoughts were like a mess, and he couldn't figure it out.

Finally, the two got on the train home. There were not many people in the carriage, but it was particularly noisy. Duan Jinglin leaned against the window, silently looking at the scenery outside the window, but his heart had already flown back to his hometown and to his father's side. Qin Yuan sat next to him, silently accompanying him, without speaking, but conveying silent support and encouragement with his eyes.

The train moved slowly forward, and time seemed to slow down. Duan Jinglin's heart was full of contradictions and struggles. He hoped that the train could reach his hometown quickly so that he could see his father as soon as possible; he was afraid to face the unknown result, afraid that his father would really leave him. Qin Yuan seemed to see through his mind and patted the back of his hand gently. "Jinglin, don't be afraid. No matter what the result is, we will face it together. Remember, you are not fighting alone."

Duan Jinglin turned his head and looked at Qin Yuan, with tears in his eyes. He nodded and held Qin Yuan's hand tightly. "Brother Yuan, thank you. With you around, I really feel brave." His voice was low, but full of determination and strength.

Finally, the train arrived. The two got off the train in a hurry and got on a taxi to the hospital. Along the way, Duan Jinglin stared out the window, afraid of missing any news about his father. Qin Yuan silently accompanied him, conveying silent support and comfort with his eyes.

Finally, the hospital arrived. Duan Jinglin almost rushed out of the car. He quickly ran to the ICU ward, Qin Yuan following closely behind. Outside the ward, the doctor was talking to Duan Jinglin's mother. Her face was full of exhaustion and sadness. When she saw Duan Jinglin coming back, she burst into tears and hugged him tightly. "Jing Lin, you're back...your dad..." Her voice trembled, but she could no longer speak.

Duan Jinglin's heart tightened, he pushed his mother away and rushed to the ward. However, when he saw his unconscious father on the hospital bed, his body covered with tubes, he felt an unspeakable sadness in his heart. He knelt down beside the bed and held his father's hand tightly. "Dad... Dad... wake up... I am Jing Lin..." His voice trembled, and tears poured out like spring water.

Qin Yuan stood at the door of the ward, watching this scene, his heart was filled with sadness. He knew that Duan Jinglin needed him at this moment, needed his support and companionship. He walked forward and gently patted Duan Jinglin's shoulder. "Jing Lin, don't be sad. We will find a way to get through this difficulty together." His voice was gentle and powerful, as if he was injecting an invisible force into Duan Jinglin.

After a while.

At night in Haidong City, neon lights flash, giving this bustling city a gorgeous coat. However, in a corner of the city, outside the ICU ward of a hospital, the atmosphere seemed particularly solemn. Qin Yuan and Duan Jinglin hurried over, their faces full of anxiety and worry, their footsteps echoing in the corridor, each step seemed to express their inner uneasiness.

"Doctor, how is my dad now?" Duan Jinglin almost rushed into the doctor's office, with a tremor that could not be concealed in his voice. Qin Yuan followed closely, his eyes locked on the doctor's face, looking forward to good news.

The doctor looked up and saw Duan Jinglin, a trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes. "Mr. Duan, your father's condition has stabilized and he is temporarily out of danger." Although the doctor's words were calm, it was like a huge stone falling into Duan Jinglin's heart, making him instantly relieved.

However, the doctor's next words made his mood hit rock bottom again. "However, due to the seriousness of the injury, he still needs to continue to be observed and treated in the ICU. Moreover, the cost of subsequent treatment..." the doctor paused, seeming to consider the words, "may be more expensive."

Duan Jinglin's face instantly turned pale. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails were almost embedded in his flesh. "Doctor, you must save my dad. No matter how much it costs, I will find a way." His voice was firm and powerful, but he could not hide the anxiety and helplessness in his heart. (End of chapter)
