dead innocent

At this moment, Chu Xingyun seemed unable to take revenge on anyone, because that person was hiding in an unknown corner safely and soundly across a camera and a screen.

Although he couldn't retaliate, he frightened the other party, and the young man stopped talking, obviously fearful.

He Cheng was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed to rest his mind, but Chu Xingyun's fury surprised him.He opened his eyes and looked up at Chu Xingyun, and saw that he was full of anger and murderous, and he was completely different from his resolute, unrestrained and righteous appearance in the past.

He slowly and lazily raised the corners of his lips, and asked Chu Xingyun: "Does Chen Zhiguo only have two daughters?"

Chu Xingyun looked down at him half a beat later, his eyes seemed to have spilled paint buckets upside down, all kinds of colors were superimposed together, the rich water could not be fainted, and the complex naked eyes could not distinguish it, and he said "hmm" in a low voice One sound.

Hearing this, He Cheng nodded thoughtfully and remained silent for a moment, then stood up from the ground unhurriedly, and brushed the dust off his pants.He looked up and asked the camera: "Tell me about your ultimate goal, what do you want?"

The youth's arrogance was slightly restrained, but his tone was even crazier and angrier.He tore his throat and roared, "I want you to apologize!"

He Cheng smiled: "Just tell me your ultimate goal. You tried your best to lure me into the game. Is it because I say sorry that I can get out? You put a camera in this room, just let me face the camera. How many 10 people say sorry? What do you want to do?"

The boy asked back, "Are you familiar with this place?"

He Cheng said, "I'm not familiar with it."

The young man sneered: "How come you are not familiar with it? Isn't this the five buildings left by Liang Hai? The place where Liang Hai's wife jumped off the building with her son in her arms is right under your feet."

He Cheng was silent.

"Have you nothing to say, Mr. He? It seems that you also know that you have committed a lot of crimes. It is said that you will soon take over these buildings and build them into the most luxurious hotel in Yinjiang City. It is said that you did not participate in the collusion between government and businessmen. Who would believe that a tiger snatches food from a dove and occupies a magpie's nest? Now is your chance to redeem yourself, and you are at the place where Liang Hai's wife and children committed suicide by jumping off the building, in front of your dead family members—you should also jump off."

He Cheng seemed amused, and said, "What if I don't dance?"

"Then let this woman die for you. She is Chen Zhiguo's daughter and Chen Lei's younger sister. The entire Chen family will be destroyed by you. Of course, you can also destroy her. As long as you walk out of this room, I will Just kill her!"

This question seemed unsolvable. He put He Cheng and Chen Xuan on the same scale. He Cheng was alone, but Chen Xuan entrusted three lives to her. He has an inseparable relationship with He Cheng.It can even be said that it was all thanks to He Cheng.Now that Chen Xuan's life is in the hands of He Cheng, in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators, if He Cheng finally leaves this prison safe and sound, it will be difficult for him to live innocently.

Chu Xingyun suddenly began to regret, he regretted letting He Cheng come here, and fell into a trap step by step.This catastrophe could have been avoided, presumably He Cheng also knows that he can completely stay out of the matter and keep his back, so what about public opinion?It can always be reversed with some means. He Cheng is willing to walk into the trap and fall into the swamp. Perhaps it is all because of him, because of the justice he upholds and the responsibility he shoulders.

What He Cheng did to distinguish himself from 'those beasts' is actually very simple, that is to stick to his own bottom line.He can be cruel and ruthless, but he cannot despise human life, not any life.But it doesn't mean that he has a lofty sense of dedication. Compared with other people's lives, he values ​​his own life more.

He took a step forward and walked slowly to the large floor-to-ceiling windows. The floor was very high, and the wind was rushing in from all directions, as if he was standing on a cloud.

Chu Xingyun followed his steps step by step, followed his gaze to look at the unreachable loess ground, and didn't know who he was talking to: "Our people are searching for his location."

In fact, he didn't think that He Cheng would jump down, and it was impossible for He Cheng to sacrifice his own life for the lives of others, not to mention He Cheng, even Chu Xingyun, he was not willing to sacrifice his life for this, even for him mission and responsibilities.

But if it's for He Cheng, it might not be impossible.

He Cheng turned his head and cast his distant gaze on his face. His defocused pupils gradually condensed, as if he could see through his thoughts, and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Chu Xingyun looked at the ground and didn't speak.

Soon, the cell phone in He Cheng's hand rang, and he picked it up and put it next to his ear. After 5 minutes, he put the cell phone back, looked up at the sky with changing clouds, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Suddenly, he turned around and looked at the camera flashing red light in the corner, his eyes changed in an instant.It's like shedding a soft shell and putting on a hard armor.Like an impenetrable city, exuding indestructible strength all over his body, he is more like a warrior than Chu Xingyun, a warrior who will never be defeated.

Chu Xingyun knew from his eyes that he had left the defensive circle and started to attack.

"If I don't do what you say, will you kill her?"

"certainly--"

"you will not."

He Cheng suddenly interrupted him, and said coldly: "You will not kill her, on the contrary, you will protect her. And today's kidnapping is a trick you directed and performed."

He said with a slight smile: "Am I right?"

Chu Xingyun was stunned, and he didn't expect that there would be a turning point in the road to despair, and the turning point was so unexpected.

He was not the only one who was surprised, the people hiding behind the camera also fell silent for a while, only the loudspeaker that came with the camera exposed his sudden rapid breathing.

"What are you talking about..."

"I think I already know who you are."

He Cheng cut off his words again with a defiant, unreasonable, and ruthless attitude.And he frowned a little impatiently, as if he was disgusted by every word he said.

"Just now I suddenly remembered that Swan City was attacked by hackers three years ago. The hackers dumped stocks and disrupted the market, causing a net loss of 1.7 million yuan in Swan City. The Economic Investigation Bureau quickly caught the hacker and sentenced him to three years in prison. You may not know that I can let you spend the rest of your life in prison. For the sake of the dead of the Chen family, I only let you sit in prison for three years. Now it seems that I should not Be kind to you."

Chu Xingyun suddenly grabbed his arm: "He is?"

He Cheng still looked at the camera, as if he could see the panicked eyes of that person.With an extremely indifferent smile, he raised his voice and said, "Xia Xinghan, did I call you by the wrong name?"

No one answered him, and even the red light on the camera began to flicker, as if the lamp was exhausted and was about to die.

He Cheng's eyes once again showed the sharpness and sharpness that Chu Xingyun was familiar with, and continued: "Chen Zhiguo sponsored a mountain child before his death until he went to college. That child had a good relationship with his family and knew how to repay his kindness. Looking at it now He knows revenge better, and now he found me to avenge the three members of the Chen family. Do you think I am the murderer who killed the three of them? Do you want me to pay for my life? It depends on whether you have the ability. Crime and innocence are relative As far as you are concerned, as long as you have the means and ability, you can determine an innocent person as a murderer. This is something I can do, if you want me to accept this punishment, then let me see your means .Now you are hiding in a corner away from the crowd and dare not speak, let alone move, like a mouse hiding in a ditch. Why should I listen to a mouse and endure his slander? Not to mention whether Chen Lei is I killed her, even if I killed her, what can you do to me? You hide far away in a dark corner, just like now, and play a funny show with the only descendant of the Chen family, really Do you think you can fool me? Then you are so naive—this is good, I will give you a chance, as long as you can stand up and defeat me, no matter whether I am guilty or not, I will surrender myself."

The meaning of He Cheng's words was unclear, and Chu Xingyun heard contempt, ridicule, and disdain from him.It is not the disdain and mockery of ordinary people by a high-ranking official, but the disdain and ridicule of a frank, strong and brave person to a timid and weak person.

Chu Xingyun didn't know what he wanted to do, he was mocking Xia Xinghan, and at the same time provoked him, and he was actively looking for an outlet for his anger.

Is he provoking Xia Xinghan?Enraged him to seek revenge on himself?

Maybe He Cheng is also a lunatic who likes to fight with others, Xia Xinghan aroused the desire in him to fight and compete with others.Just like a provocative beast, no matter how well it is educated by modern civilization, there is always a savage and fierce nature in its blood.

Chu Xingyun felt that He Cheng was trying to lure the prey out of the cave, and he was lying in ambush at the entrance of the cave, sharpening his minions.

Then at this moment his prey did not dare to walk out of the cave, Xia Xinghan looked around to see the danger lurking at the entrance of the cave, and retreated silently to the depths of the cave. The eyes are closed at night, replaced by the bright light of day.

"Captain! The live broadcast is closed!"

Master Qiao raised his voice at the door.

Chu Xingyun looked up at the camera in the corner, and the red light disappeared at some point.

When the crisis was over, he felt light all over, and his feet felt a little weak.

"What happened to Mr. He?!"

Qiao Shishi suddenly screamed, and ran over like the wind to hold He Cheng's arm.

Chu Xingyun followed the sound and saw that He Cheng was sweating profusely, his lips were pale, his brows were tightly frowned, his lips were slightly parted, and he was breathing hard and hard.

The sense of crisis that just faded away came again like a rising tide of sea water. Chu Xingyun stepped over and hugged his waist to lend him strength: "Do you have any medicine on you?"

Putting his hands on He Cheng's back, the shirt touched by his palms was wet and sticky. It happened that the hot wind was blowing in the afternoon, entangled with the hot and dry smell of blood evaporated by the high temperature.

He Cheng put his arm on his shoulder, closed his eyes and tried his best to stabilize his heart rate, and said with trembling pale lips, "No, help me down."

He Cheng's asthma doesn't attack frequently. He actively cooperates with the treatment and exercises step by step. There is essentially no difference in the quality of life between him and non-asthmatic patients, but his symptoms are severe every time he attacks.The last time it was an unforeseen shock during a meeting, every time Chu Xingyun received a call from Xiao Shu, he felt that he had died with He Cheng once.

This time, he still felt that half his life was hanging on He Cheng.

Zheng Xihe and others saw them coming out of the building area, and walked towards Chu Xingyun: "Team Chu——"

Chu Xingyun put his arm around He Cheng, and stretched out his hand towards him: "Car keys"

Zheng Xihe: ...

"car key!"

Putting He Cheng into the co-pilot of the police car, Chu Xingyun turned on the police lights, and the police car roared and rolled up a burst of loess and drove out of the development zone.

When he was running on the highway, he turned his head frequently to look at He Cheng, the sweat dripping from his forehead was more than that of a real patient.

Chu Xingyun drove too hard, and He Cheng had to raise his hand to hold the handrail on the roof, wearing a seat belt and almost being thrown out several times.The friction and collision between the newly stitched wound on the back and the back of the seat was not very gentle. He could clearly feel the blood flowing down his back. When Chu Xingyun was drifting and turning at a death-seeking speed and looking at himself distractedly , gritted his teeth and couldn't bear it: "Concentrate, drive!"

He felt that he would die in the hands of Chu Xingyun before he arrived at the hospital.

He Cheng was pushed into the emergency room. Chu Xingyun stood outside the door in a daze for a while, then suddenly walked to the bathroom at the end of the corridor, turned on the faucet and washed his face thoroughly. and wash.I took a few handfuls of water with my palm to moisten my dry and swollen throat.

He propped his hands on the sink, looked up at his water-drenched face in the mirror, his eyes were suddenly a little dazed, the water droplets kept sliding down his jaw, and smashed onto the marble countertop.

What are you panicking about?

He asked the person in the mirror that He Cheng's life was not in danger, he had survived so many times, and this time was no exception.

As if convincing himself, he wiped off the water from his face, adjusted his chaotic breathing in front of the mirror, tried his best to cheer himself up, and then walked out of the bathroom.

The cell phone in his pocket has been ringing all the time. Ever since he and He Cheng left the development zone, his cell phone has been vibrating non-stop. Until now, he has no time to answer the phone.

Sitting down on the bench beside the corridor, he took out his mobile phone, and the person calling was 'Ju Yang', but the call was automatically hung up if there was no answer, from the city government to the procuratorate, to the old man of the He family and He Ying, all kinds of people Dozens of missed calls, and 80.00% of his battery, which was fully charged in the morning, was consumed by incoming calls.

Chu Xingyun thought that a storm was about to come, but Yang Ju was kind to him once, and only mentioned a few words so that he would not show his face again in the near future.There are hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at you up and down, it's not easy for me, you and the second young master of the He family should keep a low profile.Also, the technical team of Xia Xinghan's location has been found and is tracking him down. I told you to stop asking about it with fanfare. You should show me a little bit in front of Zheng Xihe!

Then, without waiting for Chu Xingyun to say anything, he choked the phone.

Just as Chu Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief, the phone vibrated in his hand again, and it was He Ying who called.

He looked up at the closed door of the emergency room, and took a breath to answer the phone.

"Brother He Ying."

The male voice from the mobile phone was deep and honest, and his words were as sharp as an actor in a drama.

He Ying said: "I saw the live broadcast just now, how are you doing?"

Chu Xingyun dragged his forehead and sighed, and said: "I'm fine, He Cheng has an old illness and is in the hospital."

"is it serious?"

"I don't know, it hasn't come out yet."

He Ying was silent for a moment, then laughed twice, and comforted him in turn: "It should be fine, you don't have to worry too much."

Chu Xingyun opened his eyes slightly, and vaguely felt that this sentence was not quite right.He Ying's sentence had a flaw in the relationship between subject and guest, but he couldn't figure out where it was wrong. Instead, there was a layer of window paper that was obscured and ambiguously broken, even if there was an innocent couple in the window, Surrounded by the charming atmosphere, some embarrassment of hiding and hiding will arise according to local conditions.

This kind of emotion is like a feather gently flirting in his heart, it is fleeting, like itching in the boots, he can faintly feel it, but the feeling passes too fast, he can't catch it, and he can't think carefully .

"Well, I, cough, waiting."

After speaking, he covered half of his face, feeling as if it was getting darker and darker.

Fortunately, He Ying was good at observing people's hearts and was considerate to Ruyi, so he chatted with him about the difficulties He Cheng was facing.

The topic returned to his major, Chu Xingyun had more confidence, and he also returned to being a criminal policeman who can speak well and have a clear mind.

"Do you think there is a pusher behind Xia Xinghan?"

Chu Xingyun pinched his brows hard: "Not yet."

"Currently?"

"Well, if there is a force behind him pointing at He Cheng, he won't be alone. It seems that he has no helper yet. Chen Xuan is his relative. His plan is actually very simple, to force He Cheng to the public opinion. On the road to death, no matter whether it is possible to kill He Cheng, the He family represented by He Cheng will not be able to gain a foothold in the eyes of the world. Maybe He Cheng is his goal, or maybe it is just his target. If He Cheng is just his If he is a target, then I suspect that there is a pusher behind him. Even if there is no one now, after today, there must be, because He Cheng exposed his identity. His identity is transparent. If he wants to find a way out, he can only continue to arm himself. And with his personal strength, at most he can create a self-directed and self-acted drama, he can only rely on others, and He Cheng's revealing of his identity is actually letting the tiger go back to the mountain."

He Ying thought for a moment, and said: "You are right, I am not in Yinjiang, and it may be too late to respond to unexpected situations, you—"

"I will guard He Cheng."

What he said was guarding, He Cheng may not need his extra protection, but He Cheng needs him to guard.He Cheng revealed Xia Xinghan's identity in order to force him out. He was never afraid of making things big and out of control.He is extremely willful, extremely rebellious, and from a certain point of view, he also has a crazy side.

He Ying felt relieved and said: "As for other aspects, I will take care of them. Your suspension is only temporary. It is my suggestion to Director Qin. I hope you can understand that this siege is aimed at the He family. The remarks circulating on the Internet are very unfavorable to you, until Xia Xinghan is brought to justice, you'd better avoid suspicion."

Chu Xingyun said: "I understand."

He Ying hung up the phone 1 minute before the phone battery ran out of the last bar.

Before hanging up, he said to him: "The current situation is complicated, but I believe you can handle it well, Xingyun, watch over He Cheng, and protect yourself."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Xingyun was a little bit emotional. They are obviously brothers, so why is there an insurmountable gap between He Cheng and He Ying?

Ten minutes later, a doctor came out of the emergency room, and Chu Xingyun stepped in front of him in two steps: "How is he a doctor?"

The doctor took off his mask and glanced at him with some dissatisfaction: "It's okay, it's been transferred to the ward, it's just that the airway is obstructed and it's difficult to breathe, and I didn't make it clear when I sent it."

The doctor shook his head and left. The nurse followed him and said to him, "He Cheng's family members? Go to the inpatient department to go through the hospitalization procedures. The wound is bleeding and inflamed, and needs to be hospitalized for observation. If you don't have a fever tonight, you can leave the hospital. "

After completing the formalities, Chu Xingyun went to the director of the Respiratory Department with the medical case and asked about He Cheng's old symptoms. The director said that the suppression was quite good, as long as he insisted on cooperating with the treatment and taking the medicine on time, it would be fine.

Chu Xingyun was relieved and went to a single ward in the inpatient department.Pushing open the door, He Cheng was sitting by the hospital bed talking on the phone, his face was much calmer than when he was just delivered, and when he saw him coming in, he raised his quiet eyes and glanced at him.

After all the tossing just now, He Cheng's glasses went somewhere, and his hairstyle also fell apart.A few strands of bangs hung down on his forehead in locks, and his slightly drooping eyes had a cold color, which made him look unhealthy and evil.

Chu Xingyun walked over and involuntarily took his mobile phone away, put it in his trousers pocket, and said, "Take a rest, we are also looking for Xia Xinghan, do you think your staff will be of higher quality than the police?"

He Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, the disdain in his eyes was overflowing.

Before he spoke, Chu Xingyun hurriedly said: "Okay, I know, you don't need to say it, just lie down and rest."

After finishing speaking, remembering that his back was hurt, he changed his words: "Lie down, sit up, whatever, just rest for a while."

It was rare for He Cheng not to dismiss his kindness with sneering words, and as if he had heard it, he left the hospital bed, dragged the drip holder and sat on a group of sofas facing the end of the bed, and said, "Is there nothing you want to ask me?"

Chu Xingyun walked slowly and sat down beside him, looked up at the speed of the drip, and said: "I am suspended now, and I have no right to interrogate you at the moment. I will listen to what you say, and I will not ask if you don't say it."

He Cheng turned his head to look at him, with a strange light in his eyes: "I tell you, do you believe it?"

Chu Xingyun met his gaze and said seriously: "That depends on what you say, as long as you say you are not lying, I will believe it."

The corners of He Cheng's lips twitched, as if he wanted to laugh, but he held back, his tone was still indifferent and cold: "Do you also believe Xia Xinghan's words?"

"Which one?"

"I am the Duke of Butterfly."

This time, Chu Xingyun really laughed, smiled and quickly calmed down, looked at his eyes clearly and forcefully said: "I don't believe it."

He Cheng's eyes brightened, and when he was about to burst out laughing, he heard him add the second half of the sentence: "The No. 1 deceased in the Butterfly Duke serial case occurred on September 14, 9. At that time, you In Dubai."

He Cheng's eyes suddenly fell to freezing point, and said: "If one day I am cornered again, I will never hide, and I will drag you to die together."

Chu Xingyun glanced at him dryly, pursed the corners of his lips, and said dryly: "What do you want to do? Can't you live well?" After speaking, he turned around in his direction and said, "Take off your clothes Now, let me see how the wound on your back is. The second rupture will cause trouble."

Of course He Cheng wouldn't listen to him obediently, he deliberately crossed his legs and said coldly: "Don't worry about it."

Chu Xingyun looked at him carefully, and smiled like a child: "Then I will do it myself."

As he said that, he leaned over and leaned in front of him to unbutton his shirt, only to undo one, his wrists were suddenly grasped tightly by a pair of hands with extremely cold palms, and then a figure in front of him pressed towards him, making him subconsciously He tilted his body backwards, slammed his back on the armrest of the sofa, and stared blankly at He Cheng's face pressing on top of his body.

He Cheng waved away the needle in his hand, relying on his slender fingers and strong wrist, clasped his two wrists with his left hand and pressed them against his chest, and propped his right hand on the armrest of the sofa behind him. He besieged.Gritting his back molars, he said angrily: "Chu Xingyun, I really doubt if you did it on purpose, do you have any brains? The whole world is talking about you and me, and you are the only one with an innocent face Let others see the joke! Are you really slow or really stupid? You are already besieged on all sides and you still turn a blind eye. I have been waiting for you to ask me, why don’t you ask? Who do you think I think of you? Brother? You still think I Treat you as a brother? Have I called you brother for so many years?! Have you never thought about why I have been refusing to leave Yinjiang? Have you thought about it seriously? Have your heart and your brain become one pot? Maoxuewang was eaten by yourself? Don't you... don't feel anything?!"
