Every Time I Wake Up, I Become A Suspect
Chapter 178

The figure curled up on the wooden bed suddenly opened her eyes, and she was dripping with sweat, as if she had a nightmare.

In the small and dim environment, she could only hear her rapid breathing, and it took a long while before she gradually calmed down.

Zhang Baozhu seemed to have had a long and very clear dream. In the dream, she was a high onlooker, watching every move of her body blankly.

The second before waking up, she only felt a strong suction force, and immediately after, the strong sense of weightlessness forced her to take back control of her body.

Swallowing silently, Zhang Baozhu got up from the bed tremblingly, walked to the dining table, and poured himself a glass of cold water.

After she raised her head and drank all the water in the glass, the tightness in her throat finally eased, and she let out a long breath.

Taking advantage of the moonlight coming in from the window next to it, Zhang Baozhu carefully looked at the small bungalow that he had lived in for many years, and for the first time, a sense of sadness rose in his heart.

With lowered eyes, she stared at her hands for a long time, then slowly bent her fingers and clenched them into fists.

The feeling of the remaining soul is still so obvious, the other party must have forgotten something in this body, she thought.

Zhang Baozhu touched the beating strong heart in his chest again. That thing should be the courage to face life.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, she hurried out of the house with the big cloth bag on her back.

Due to a lot of things happening in this alley recently, it seems more and more quiet, and even the barking of dogs can’t be heard.

Changing to the earliest subway, Zhang Baozhu arrived at a public hospital smoothly. Her husband Cui Yongfu was receiving treatment in the inpatient department.

Following the elevator to the seventh floor, she confirmed the location of Cui Yongfu’s ward with just one glance. The two policemen outside the door were so conspicuous, they could be called a standout among the crowd.

Silently cheering herself up in her heart, Zhang Baozhu quickly stepped forward, and politely revealed her identity and purpose to the two policemen.

One of the female policemen, after verifying her identity and confirming that it was correct, helped her open the door of the ward behind her.

Cui Yongfu’s injury was not particularly serious. After careful treatment, he had already woken up. At the moment, he was lying on his back in the hospital bed bored, counting how many pieces the roof of the ward was made of. Made of boards.

Hearing the movement from the door, the man slightly raised his head and looked over.

Seeing Zhang Baozhu walking slowly, Cui Yongfu was in a daze for a moment. When he saw this familiar face, his heart twitched subconsciously.

But after taking a closer look, he had an inexplicable intuition that the one in front of him was his wife who had been with him for many years, that cowardly and incompetent Zhang Baozhu who would only cry even if he slapped her.

So, he yelled angrily at the visitor: “Bitch, why don’t you come over and get me a glass of water?!”

Zhang Baozhu trembled uncontrollably after being scolded by him like this. The shadow of long-term domestic violence has long been immersed in her bones and b***d. Even though she has already made sufficient psychological preparations, this scene still makes her feel extremely uncomfortable.

The man’s self-satisfied gaze, which determined that she would succumb, was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into her heart, and it even became difficult to breathe.

Gritting her back molars tightly, Zhang Baozhu clenched her hands into fists hanging by her sides. She took a step and walked to the hospital bed at a neither fast nor slow speed.

Then, under Cui Yongfu’s disdainful gaze, he raised his right hand high.

Snapped!

A loud applause resounded in the ward. Even though his whole body was trembling even more, Zhang Baozhu exhausted all his strength, and roared out the words word by word: “I want to divorce you!

” Walking out of the hospital gate, she squinted her eyes slightly and looked up at the dazzling sunlight in the sky,

feeling like she had just climbed up from the 18th floor of hell.

The autumn sun still gave people a bit of warmth when it shone on her body. She walked along the street and finally bought a two-yuan cone, and said goodbye to her unbearable past solemnly.

As for the divorce procedure, she gritted her teeth and took out all her savings to entrust a lawyer to help with it. Coupled with the active cooperation of the police, after about three months, the divorce agreement signed by Cui Yongfu was finally delivered. in her hands.

At that time, she had already moved out of the bungalow area where she originally lived, and rented a one-bedroom, one-living room building again. Although the surrounding environment and facilities were still old, it was considered very good compared to before. up.

Without the burden of Cui Yongfu, she didn’t want to continue to be a live-in nanny for high income. After much deliberation, she chose to return to her old job and drive a bus.

After officially joining the job, Zhang Baozhu adapted quickly.

She felt that it was so easy to live without having to deal with difficult employers, and not having to think about where the children were and whether they were in danger. Even her breathing felt a little free.

On this day, she received a call from the company’s dispatcher, and she habitually asked about the destination and route of the trip.

After hearing the short narration from the dispatcher on the phone, Zhang Baozhu frowned indistinctly. To go to the neighboring city, he had to take the old national road in Qingshang County. Although it was indeed closer, the road conditions were not good. ah!

Besides, even if you go that way, the fare paid by the other party will not be less. The road is extremely bumpy, and there is no high-speed comfort.

But even though he was a little doubtful, Zhang Baozhu didn’t care too much, and drove the bus to Jiangcheng Teachers College before dawn.

After pulling a car full of youthful college students, she drove along the route set by the customer. During this period, she occasionally heard students asking why they took this road.

And these people’s questions were blocked by a male student named Zhou Yu.

During this period, Zhou Yu kept coming up behind her to ask the precise time when she could arrive in the neighboring city. As the number of times increased, the doubts that had been lingering in her mind before slowly surfaced again.

Not long after, violent conflict broke out at the back of the carriage. She heard a gunshot and looked in the rearview mirror, only to replace that a student was injured.

Seeing that after driving for another 20 minutes, he was about to leave the boundary of Jiangcheng City, all Zhang Baozhu could think about was that he couldn’t let the other party just run away like this.

So, taking advantage of the chaos in the car, she reached out her hand to the position under the steering wheel, fumbled for a few exposed wires, and pulled hard!

Soon, the old bus made a ‘chug-chug’ sound, and after shaking violently for a while, the whole bus slowly stopped in the middle of the road.

Facing the agitated Zhou Yu, Zhang Baozhu suppressed his fear and dealt with it calmly.

Even after receiving two hard elbows from the other party, she just turned her head and spit out b***d, calmly explaining the reason why the car would break down unexpectedly, and asked Zhou Yu.

To be able to get her out of the car to have a look.

Maybe she was too calm, she didn’t seem to be lying, Zhou Yu believed it a little bit.

But in the end, she still failed to replace any opportunity to notify the police.

Just when Zhang Baozhu was feeling desperate for everything in front of her eyes, someone suddenly knocked on the driver’s door. She looked down, it was an extremely strange face, but the soul wave emanating from the other person , but I am all too familiar with it.

Trying to maintain some uncontrollable breathing, knowing Zhou Yu’s danger, she didn’t want to put her benefactor in danger.

Fortunately, the final result was good. With the cooperation of her and one of the college students named Ren Yumeng, the police successfully rescued more than 20 hostages in the car.

After that day, apart from reporting to the hospital on time every day and being the escort of police officer Jiang, Zhang Baozhu spent most of the rest of the time on interviews.

For such a public appearance,

she actually refused.

Helplessly, the place where she works now really wants to use her shareholder style to promote the company wantonly, and the right is to advertise for free, so it can be said that no one will refuse the media that come to her door.

So Zhang Baozhu was forced to be labeled as a ‘hero driver’, and the bus she was driving at the time of the incident, which was about to be scrapped, was also sprayed with the words ‘hero special bus’.

The business of booking this bus has been queued up until the next year.

Zhang Baozhu felt that this was not right, and after careful consideration, she resolutely chose to resign.

Even in the face of the company’s lucrative bait of doubling her salary, she packed her things and left unmoved.

Just at this time, Zhang Baozhu heard that the city bus company was recruiting external workers, and with an attitude of giving it a try, she signed up.

Because the latest policy in the city is to highlight the positive and positive impact of female power on society, the bus company has specially opened up a dedicated line for female drivers. Fortunately, she was admitted.

On the day she received a call telling her to prepare for the job with the relevant procedures, Zhang Baozhu was working as a part-time delivery worker in the supermarket downstairs near the rented house.

After putting down the phone, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat that flowed from her forehead to her chin, and looked up at the green leaves on the branches swaying with the wind, her heart full of good expectations for the future.

After officially becoming a bus driver, Zhang Baozhu was full of energy.

Every minute and every second of her work is extremely happy.

Of course, life will not be smooth sailing, and occasionally she will encounter unreasonable passengers, but she will use unparalleled patience to communicate every misunderstanding.

Gradually, she became the driver who received the fewest complaints in the city. The zero-complaint reward of two or three hundred a month is really insignificant, but the positive and positive emotional feedback she gets from it is extremely precious to Zhang Baozhu of.

Compared with the first half of her life when she was suppressed infinitely by Cui Yongfu, it is obvious that she is alive now.

With good news comes even better news.

During the boring and repetitive work day after day, Zhang Baozhu met a man.

The man will take her No. 6 bus on time at 6:30 every day, and will take it back at 5:00 pm.

Because each driver of the bus company runs a relatively fixed time period, which is changed every six months or a year, so Zhang Baozhu has enough time to observe.

The man was dressed plain and clean, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a Chinese character face, regular features, and a simple and honest aura all over his body.

The timing of his ride happened to be when there were not the most people on board, and it was because of this that he left a relatively deep impression on Zhang Baozhu.

On this day, she returned to the company after running the last shift, it was around 5:30 in the evening.

While cleaning the interior of the car, she spotted a black file bag lying under the rear seat with sharp eyes. The file bag looked familiar, and it should belong to that man.

After thinking about it, she called the company’s lost and found department and reminded the other party that if anyone was looking for the file bag, she could contact her. After cleaning up, she put the file bag in the locker in front of the car.

Early the next morning, when he arrived at the familiar stadium station, Zhang Baozhu really saw the lonely figure waiting there again.

“Morning.”

This seemed to be the first conversation between the two. Zhang Baozhu took out a file bag from the cabinet and handed it over: “Sir, maybe this is something you dropped?

” After opening the file bag and taking a look, his expression suddenly became very grateful: “Indeed, thank you so much, Master!

” Look for it carefully, if you lose this thing, it will be troublesome!”

Zhang Baozhu accepted the other party’s gratitude with a little surprise

, and then looked at the man’s eyes, from the initial curiosity to a faint smile.

It was rare for her to see a man’s face flushed red because of excitement, which was quite novel.

After coming and going, she naturally knew that the man’s name was Chen Tian, and his job was very ordinary, he was an accountant of a private company.

The two became acquainted with each other in this way, and Zhang Baozhu felt that the long journey was less boring and more lively and expectant because of the company of another person in the morning shift.

Gradually, she would receive the breakfast made by the other party himself, and she also had a deeper understanding of his basic situation.

Due to the poor conditions of his original family, Chen Tian has cultivated very good cooking skills. His current income from work is not very high, but he is a down-to-earth person.

He is very poor in his daily life. He only buys a few new clothes a year and chooses to take the bus to and from get off work. All this is because of his own hard work, he saved a considerable down payment, and bought a set in Jiangcheng, a first-tier city. Own two rooms and one living room.

As for the reason why he is still single, it may be a little complicated, not outstanding appearance, somewhat introverted personality, not affluent financial… On the contrary,

Zhang Baozhu thinks that these things are in the eyes of outsiders. On her side, it is actually It is not a shortcoming.

Adhering to the principle of not letting the other party suffer, after accepting the free breakfast, she would often give Chen Tian some fruits, sometimes an apple, a banana, or a bunch of grapes, a few sweet big date.

After going back and forth like this for a while, she received a date invitation from Chen Tian as expected.

To be honest, at the age of thirty or so, you can still see a man with a blushing face, stuttering, saying that if there is a chance, he would like to go out for a meal together, and so on. Baozhu couldn’t help being a little bit amused.

After pursing her lips and laughing, she hesitated again.

The harm that Cui Yongfu brought her in the past is not insignificant, although those For her, the dark past has long been a thing of the past and has disappeared with the wind, but when faced with emotional choices again, it is natural to think deeply and shrink back.

Facing Chen Tian’s scorching gaze, Zhang Baozhu could only vaguely say to look back at the time.

It was night, she was lying on the soft quilt, holding her mobile phone and screaming crazily in the small group called ‘Alliance of Worrying Women’.

The other sisters gave a lot of pertinent opinions, and Ren Yumeng even suggested that she might as well ask Police Officer Jiang.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone echoed it, and they all patted their chests and said that Police Officer Jiang can’t guarantee other skills, but the empty-eyed man who judges the scum must be sure.

If it’s not possible, use your power in private to replace out whether the other party has a criminal record…

Of course, this is all a joke. It is impossible for Zhang Baozhu to bother Jiang Tianyu because of this little emotional confusion, and it is even more impossible for Jiang Tianyu to trouble Jiang Tianyu because of the relationship between the two parties. The relationship in the hands is illegal use of the power in hand.

Let’s talk, let’s make trouble.

The next afternoon, when Zhang Baozhu was taking a break, he heard a crazy message notification sound from his mobile phone. When he opened it to check the messages in the WeChat group, his eyes almost popped out.

Zhou Yaya Yaya: Sister Baozhu, I asked a friend to inquire about the company where Chen Tian works, and they all said that this person is really good and has no bad habits, at least the job information he told you is true.

Man Ting is the best: I also asked the relationship to check. Chen Tian’s family is very simple. Both parents passed away a few years ago. He is really a hard-working person.

Xiaoyudi (Ren Yumeng): I think Miss Baozhu is either you or you can try it? If you feel something is wrong, you have time to withdraw quickly!

Niu Xiaoting: Yes, yes, does he have an account for short videos? How about I send a private message to test it out?

The confidence from millions of internet celebrities.

Lulu wants to get rich: I can do it too!

Reluctantly touching his forehead, Zhang Baozhu casually replied a few words, which immediately triggered a more heated discussion among the sisters.

It’s a pity that her

rest time ended soon. On the car that turned back at five o’clock in the afternoon, seeing Chen Tian’s honest and honest face, she agreed to the invitation of the other party.

Start from the heart, whether it is suitable or not, you have to try it to know.

After getting in touch, Zhang Baozhu felt that Chen Tian was really good at living at home, and the stable aura about him was fatally attractive to her.

She has long passed the age when she wanted to be vigorous in everything, but such a long flow of water made her addicted.

The two have been together for more than a year since then. On an ordinary night that couldn’t be more ordinary, Chen Tian took out a simple ring and a real estate certificate, and proposed to Zhang Baozhu.

“I know it’s a bit of a nuisance to marry me, but I promise that I will treat you well every day for the rest of my life!” Chen Tian looked very nervous, it was the first time to engage in such a romantic scene, somewhat flustered .

“It’s really too much for you to repay the mortgage with me. Don’t worry, I can go out to deliver food at night in the future, and earn more money to subsidize the family. Also, we will transfer the house tomorrow, and only write your name “

Zhang Baozhu couldn’t laugh or cry: “This is half your life’s net worth, have you figured it out?”

Chen Tian nodded vigorously: “I don’t want a house, I only want you.”

After that day, Zhang Baozhu’s ring finger had more It was a low-key gold ring. After discussing it with Chen Tian, she didn’t like it.

Choose a big wedding, just invited some relatives and friends to have a small meal, so that everyone can be happy for them.

With an extra marriage certificate, for the two of them, there was no change in their lives.

Chen Tian loves her so much that he rarely asks her to do housework, even eating an apple, he would like to peel the skin and feed it into his mouth.

It seems that the suffering in the first half of her life, God gave her double sweetness in the second half of her life.

As for work, Zhang Baozhu didn’t encounter too many troubles, but when he took the evening bus that day, he met an old lady holding a baby about one year old.

She helped the old lady lift up the baby stroller, and after making sure that the grandparents and grandchildren were seated firmly, she slowly started the bus and drove unsteadily on the avenue with little traffic.

There are few people on the night bus, and most of them are migrant workers who have worked all day. Everyone is very tired and sits there with their eyes closed, so all they can hear is the sound of advertisements played in the car.

Suddenly, the old lady who was sitting there with the baby in her arms suddenly stood up and let out a shrill scream: “Help!! Help!!! Grandson, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare grandma! “

Is there anyone, is there someone to help call the ambulance to call the police!!!” The old lady cried, while reaching out to pick the child’s mouth.

Seeing this, Zhang Baozhu hurriedly parked the car on the side of the road and turned on the double flashing lights. After unfastening his seat belt, he ran to the side of the grandparent and grandson.

Some passengers in the car were too scared to recover, and some began to call 120 and 110 in a hurry.

The lips of the toddler in the old lady’s arms had already started to turn purple, apparently choked on something.

After obtaining the old man’s consent, Zhang Baozhu took the child over. At this moment, she couldn’t help but want to thank her previous work experience as a live-in nanny, which allowed her to keep her head calm when facing this situation.

She hurriedly knelt down on one knee, made the child lie on her arm, supported the doll’s head and jaw with her hand, and tapped the child’s shoulder blade with the heel of the other hand.

After repeating this action several times, the child finally spit out a plastic toy that was nearly the size of a one-yuan coin, and then there was a loud cry in the car.

Not long after, the ambulance and the police arrived, and the grandparent and grandson were taken to the hospital.

It was also because of what happened that night that not only the company gave her a certain amount of reward, but the parents of the children also came to the company in person and presented two pennants, one big and one small.

The big pennant was hung in the staff office of the bus company, and the small one was

hung by Zhang Baozhu in a place in the car where it would not interfere with the line of sight.

Every day that followed, she drove the bus humming a little song, and the little pennant swayed left and right with the rhythm of the bus.

When driving to the gymnasium in the early morning, there will always be a tall figure waiting there, carrying an insulated lunch box in his hand, rain or shine.
