Hesta jumped out of the cargo box, then jumped out of the car and walked to Yugali.
"Why do you always assume that I want to harm him? We can obviously be friends. I already took the initiative to understand it yesterday. Mihailo is indeed a kind person. He was also the top ten citizens of Mei County last year..."
Hesta struggled to organize the words.
"I admit that I was preconceived. I thought he was a personal trafficker, but I was wrong. I was terribly wrong. I have realized this. I just... I just think you can have a second way."
"Why should I trust you? You have disrupted all my plans. If you hadn't disrupted it, I would have met Mr. Mihailo in Pingjing in a few hours—"
"But the plane here doesn't go to Pingjing?" Hesta interrupted Yugali, "The plane you want to take will fly north, back to the North 14th District."
Yugali was stunned again, "...you are lying."
"Why did I lie to you? In the entire Mei County, only Dongshun Airport has flights going south. Who told you that this plane will go to Pingjing, Mihailo himself?"
"Yes..." Yugali quickly recalled everything today, "No! Mr. Mihailo just said that he was waiting for me in Pingjing. My flight was not arranged by him, but by another woman."
"Which woman?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen her, but Mr. Mihailo knows her..." Yugali held her head with both hands. She closed her eyes and backed away slowly, "It's messed up, it's all messed up..."
"Then come with me," Hesta stepped forward, "Follow me, I will find a way, I will help you deal with the next thing - Mihailo will understand! After all, he is so kind , I won’t pay him a penny less as liquidated damages——”
"You lied to me!!" Yugali roared again, "You are the police!! You come specifically from the third district to arrest people——"
"Which police station would send a police officer who doesn't even understand the language to handle cases across districts? And don't you also know that what Mihailo is doing is completely legal, who can catch him?"
"Then why did he run away? And the police outside-"
"There are police outside because chelation was released in Mei County last night. Under such circumstances, someone secretly escaped from a potential epidemic area. Shouldn't the police come to arrest him?" Hesta continued to walk forward, "As for Miha Yiluo, I don’t know why he ran away, I obviously have no hostility.”
Yugali kept retreating, her heels already hitting the wall of the warehouse. She glanced sideways in despair, and then focused on the person in front of her again.
"…who are you?"
"Veteran medical soldier - it is indeed not my only identity. I have some other side jobs in District 3... But every promise I made to you before is true, I swear!" Hesta also stopped. He stopped walking and said, "It's not to trick you, let alone to arrest people. How to deal with the following matters, we can find an opportunity to sit down and talk with Mihailo, and try to resolve this matter peacefully... I am not a like We can just go to the negotiation table for things that can be solved with money, and there is no need for a stalemate at all—"
"I do not need your sympathy……"
"But I need it!"
Yugali was stunned. She looked at Hesta, and the eyes of the person in front of her were slightly filled with a familiar sadness.
"Perhaps you can be merciful and give me a little bit of your sympathy?" Hesta stared into Yugali's eyes, "Even just a little bit?"
"...I don't understand what you are-"
"I beg you! Eucalyptus, I beg you to give me a chance to help you! It may be ridiculous to you...but to me, it is important, even...meaningful."
"What if I refuse."
"Then let's fight to the death here today." Hesta's voice became very soft, "I opened the door, and the police came in to arrest people. Mihailo will also be wanted immediately for endangering public safety. From a well-dressed doctor, To be a prisoner in prison - is this what you want?"
Yugali clenched his fists.
"So, you didn't give me a choice at all...right?"
"Did Mihailo and the people behind him leave you room for choice again?" Hesta frowned, "Why do you think I have to give you room for choice?"
"Yes! It's always been like this!" Yujiali wiped away the tears on his face vigorously, "I've long been used to it! Everything in front of me seems to have a choice, but in fact there is no choice at all. What choice do I have! I have no choice! I can only stand in circles, no matter what I want, it will be delusional in the end——"
Hesta glanced at her watch.
"There's no time." Hesta took a deep breath, "If you choose me, go back to the cargo box of the car now. If you choose to fight to the death, then stand here like this... stand here. , wait for them to catch you."
Hesta stood there like a statue, not even blinking.
The two were stagnant in place, looking at each other.
After a while, Yugali wiped away his tears and ran quickly towards the transport truck not far away.
Hearing all the noises coming from behind, Hesta breathed a long sigh of relief. She turned around, walked to the wooden boxes stacked beside her and sat down. She looked back to see Eucalyptus flipping into the box briskly, and then carefully He squatted down, dragging the cover with him.
The two people's eyes met again, and Hesta smiled vaguely. Yugali immediately looked away and pulled down the lid of the box heavily.
A minute later, Yu Xuekun and the police entered again, and Hesta stood in the middle of the warehouse waiting.
Hesta walked to Yu Xuekun's side, "...it's all solved."
"I heard it," Yu Xuekun calmly gave a thumbs up to Hesta, "Get in the car."
"Where is your car?"
"Get in this transport truck." Yu Xuekun pointed at the big guy parked in the warehouse, "Let's just drive here."
Hesta also gave her a thumbs up, "Awesome."
Only then did Yu Xuekun turn around and extend his hand to the police officer nearby, "Then we will take the person away. Thank you very much for today."
"It's okay, it should be. After you file it, remember to send us a copy of the results."
"Of course, I'll do it as soon as possible." Yu Xuekun said and walked around to the back of the transport truck. She climbed into the carriage alone, and after re-fixing the cargo box inside, she returned to the cab in front and said goodbye to everyone.
…
On the way back, it started to rain. The sky was gray and so was the road.
Hesta was leaning on the passenger seat, still feeling lackluster.
"What's wrong? You've got everyone back. Are you still not happy?"
"Happy," Hesta sat up straighter, "but a little sleepy, and a little...tired."
