After Dawn (Bing Kuai'er)

After temporarily turning the fight with Duan Mingyang into friendship, Li Luo finally calmed down a bit, and on the weekend, he found time to go to the municipal prison.

The municipal prison is located on a vast and barren land in the suburbs. It is said that it was originally planned to build a real estate, but the Feng Shui master found out that it is not suitable for living, so it was used by the government to build a prison. Except for relatives who come to visit, it is almost inaccessible.

Perhaps because today is the weekend, there are so many people visiting, that they even lined up at the security checkpoint. The aunt in the back line was anxious to see her family, and pushed and shoved the tall young man in the front.

"Hey, the one in front, hurry up, what are you talking about?"

"Auntie, what can I do if I don't move forward?"

Li Luo turned his head, wearing a mask and large framed sunglasses, covering his entire face, if not for a small section of high nose bridge, he might not even be able to tell whether his skin color is white or black.

"What are you dressing up to be your own star..." The aunt frowned and muttered, she couldn't help but look a few more times, and she really saw a bit of familiarity.

"I seem to have seen you somewhere..."

"Auntie." Li Luo said seriously, "The way you strike up a conversation in that era is outdated."

The aunt was taken aback for a moment, and then rolled her big eyes.

"Neuropathy!"

It wasn't until he entered the private one-on-one visiting room that Li Luo unloaded his full armor and had his hair cut casually to make sure that his greasy hair, which hadn't been washed all day, didn't look so sloppy.

There is only a simple square table and two plastic chairs in the cramped visiting room, and there is an all-round surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling, and there are only four gray walls and floor tiles left, which makes people feel depressed, as if wanting to To awaken the guilt in everyone who walks into this room.

When Li Luo entered this room for the first few times, his heart was really heavy, especially when he came to visit for the first time, seeing his father seemed to have aged ten years overnight, his eyes were instantly reddened, and when he went out, it was still raining It was overcast and rainy, and the color of the sky was exactly the same as that in the visiting room. It was as if he had entered another cage from one cage, and he could not escape forever. He was so depressed that he almost wanted to kill himself.

What a fucking design.

Li Luo cursed inwardly, turned the chair casually, but did not sit down, tapped his fingers on the table impatiently, and glanced at his watch.

09:30, there should be still time.

In the afternoon, he has a variety show to record, and he will participate in it with Zhao Shanshan, the heroine who starred in a costume romance drama a while ago, and other leading actors.In his opinion, that drama was really boring. It was nothing more than a cliché plot where the domineering young master fell in love with the cute little maid and went through many obstacles from the family to get married. The main CP also has a lot of fans, so naturally some TV stations invited their crew to record variety shows while the iron was hot.

It is really hard to be an actor if you have to be dedicated. You have to act and publicize and you have to learn all kinds of things, just like his bad friend Jiang Liushen. Praise the word "really hard".

As for Li Luo himself, the purpose of entering the entertainment industry was not out of interest, so he naturally chose to act in plays that would not take much effort.It’s not that I hate being an actor, it’s just that I can’t devote myself 100% like Jiang Liushen. There are always other things in my heart like a big rock, and if I don’t move away, I can’t concentrate on a day.

The heaviest boulder in these years was his father's business.

"squeak--"

The door on the other side of the visiting room was pushed open, and a guard with an expressionless face held the door, sideways to let a man in handcuffs and prison uniform walk in, and then closed the door.

"Dad." Li Luo greeted him, and asked first as usual, "How are you doing recently? Has someone bullied you?"

Li Zhenghong is more than 50 years old this year, with a handsome appearance. I think he has attracted countless Yingying and Yanyan when he was young, but now a few strands of white hair have grown on his temples, which is a bit more vicissitudes.He seemed to be in good spirits. He smiled gently at his son, and there seemed to be another fine line at the end of his eyes: "It's pretty good. No one bullied me. I'm still teaching others how to start a business."

"Entrepreneurship? You are really free." Li Luo sat down with him, and then asked this topic, "Can they listen to you?"

"Of course, except you, who would not want to hear my business experience? I wish I could teach them the secrets." Li Zhenghong was quite proud, "They also said that if they make a lot of money according to the method I said, after they are released from prison, Be sure to come back and give me a share to repay me."

Li Luo smiled: "It's kind of repaying you."

Report a fart.

Three generations of Li's family have been in business. Even though the stock price plummeted a few years ago because of his father's imprisonment and fell out of the city's top ten richest list, the family property is still at a height beyond the reach of ordinary people. Would you care about such insignificance? share of profits?Besides, if money could settle everything, the Li family would have already fished him out, and they wouldn't let Li Zhenghong spend five years in prison.

Li Luo understood the thoughts of those inmates very well, didn't they just want to have a relationship with his father.

Li Zhenghong was sentenced to ten years in prison for misappropriating government funds. The once respected business tycoon became a criminal despised by thousands of people overnight. He was imprisoned and countless people laughed at him.But after all, ten years is not a long time, and many people are still afraid that he will rise again after he is released from prison.Moreover, if Li Zhenghong behaved peacefully, he might be able to reduce his sentence by a few years. Based on this calculation, he might go out in two years. Of course, he had to curry favor first.

It's impossible that his father didn't understand the reason, but he just didn't want to expose it.Li Luo had no choice but to let him go. Life in prison was already monotonous, so it wouldn't hurt to have some fun to relieve boredom.

"How was your trip to Paris this time?" Li Zhenghong asked, "Did it go well?"

"Well, it's good. I finally met their big boss Zark, but I only talked a few words. He's too busy, so I said I'll contact you later." Li Luo chose some innocuous words.

"It doesn't matter if you don't contact me. You are already very busy filming. Dad doesn't want you to worry about Dad. Anyway, Dad is quite used to staying here now. It's okay to stay for a few more years."

"It's just something small that I can do." Li Luo looked down slightly, and landed on his finger that stopped tapping on the table.

"If it wasn't for me...you wouldn't be like this, I have to make up for something."

He has said this many times, but it is still difficult to speak every time.

Seeing his stiff fingers and slightly pursed lips, Li Zhenghong sighed softly: "Ah Luo, Dad has said it many times, Dad doesn't blame you, don't blame yourself."

"I blame myself." Li Luo lowered his eyes and continued to look down. The blue-gray floor tiles came into his eyes, and the gloomy color began to make his heart tighten again. "If I had listened to you back then, I would not have had any contact with Duan Mingyang. , and won’t let the Duan family get a chance, and cause you to be falsely imprisoned.”

"Don't say that, it doesn't matter dad, dad just loves you, you liked it so much at the beginning—"

"Nothing." Li Luo quickly interrupted his words, raised his eyes, and evoked a heartless smile, "I didn't like it, didn't I tell you a long time ago? It was just a joke, when I was with him We are together just to annoy you and Uncle Feng. I played him too, so I won't suffer."

Li Zhenghong saw that he was not willing to talk, so he had to change the subject: "Zhi An...how is it lately?"

Feng Zhi'an, also known as Uncle Feng in Li Luo's mouth, is his father's best friend since he was a child, and he is also his father's most trusted right-hand man. , and can even be used as a proxy for the decision.

After his father divorced ten years ago, he and Feng Zhian got closer and closer. Li Luo was once annoyed by the close relationship between the two of them. Later, when he visited the prison, he learned of his father's mood: "Your mother has left Me, you are also getting more and more alienated from me, only Zhian has been with me, like the only light source in the dark night, how could I not get closer to him? He is indeed more than just a friend to me, but we At this age, just be a confidant, maybe for a longer time, and don't think about anything else."

Now that Li Zhenghong has been sentenced for ten years, fortunately half of Feng Zhian's family took over the company and presided over the overall situation, so that the Li family's property will not fall apart and be divided up by outsiders.Li Luo has always felt guilty about the bad words he used to say to each other, and he has apologized to Uncle Feng for many years.

"Uncle Feng is very good. I had a meal with him a while ago."

Li Zhenghong smiled gratifiedly: "Sometimes I feel that I am a blessing in disguise, at least you and we have settled down."

Li Luo rolled his eyes: "Isn't it because you insisted on hiding the cheating for my mother? I misunderstood that you were messing with Uncle Feng, and my mother divorced... If she didn't tell me when she came to visit you, I still hate you now, can we sit at the same table and have a good talk like now?"

"Okay, okay, my fault." Li Zhenghong was not angry at all, "But don't be angry with your mother, I was really busy with my career in those years, and I didn't take her feelings into account, and she was discouraged by me. It's normal...it's all my fault."

It was because of the phrase "It's all my fault" that Li Zhenghong always said, that Li Luo had been misunderstood for so many years. Thinking about it, he was so angry that his father didn't explain it, and he was even more angry that he was not sensible. .

"If you're discouraged, then get a divorce. Why is she sneaking around?"

"She must be reluctant to part with you and wants you to have a complete family." Li Zhenghong said earnestly, "The first thing she said after I found out was to beg me not to tell you, and she didn't want you to be disappointed in her. It's you who cares."

Li Luo pouted: "I still feel that she is sorry for you, but since you have already forgiven her, what else can I say."

Li Zhenghong nodded: "Well, it's good that you are sensible, and go to see your mother when you have time, and come back and tell me if she is happy now."

Li Luo couldn't take it anymore and said, "Dad, do you know that there is a word called 'Holy Mother'? I see you, it's 'Holy Father'!"

At this time, the door of the interview room was knocked twice by the guards outside, indicating that the allotted time was running out.

Li Zhenghong stood up, quickly picked up the matters to be warned, and said: "If you can't get his evidence from Zark, don't bother. I guess someone as high as him doesn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble." Come on."

"I know, I have a new direction now. If it succeeds, it will be a hundred times more effective than his evidence." Li Luo also stood up, and put on all the future tense outfits, covering his entire face tightly, only With long and narrow eyes exposed, the expression on his face could not be seen at all, and the voice behind the mask came out vaguely:

"I'll be busy during this time, maybe I won't be able to see you, I'll let someone else come for me, just let me know if you have anything to do."

Li Zhenghong asked uncomfortably: "What new direction? This is not a joke. The Duan family is still watching me. If you accidentally fall into their trap..."

"Then I'll come in to relieve your boredom." Li Luo didn't care at all, "I'll tell you gossip about the entertainment industry every day, and I can talk about it for four or five years."

"Nonsense, let's be serious."

"I'm telling you the truth too."

Li Luo pushed back the chair and stood on the edge of the table, with long legs and broad shoulders, and a straight back.Looking at the taller figure in front of him, Li Zhenghong suddenly realized that his once willful and frivolous son was now a mature man.

Finally, Li Luo put on the sunglasses, and it was difficult to discern the emotions in his eyes behind the dark lenses.

"The mistakes I made will be made up for by me after all."
