Being-Towards-Death

After the noon entertainment, Liu Mian specially ordered the secretary to cancel the evening dinner, and went back to the company to work hard to reason with the bad boy, explaining the pros and cons.Liu Mian has always been critical of Shi Guyuan's attitude towards Zheng Zhichu, saying that Shi Guyuan has protected him too well, and he has never seen how Shi Guyuan is so pleasant, and the two of them are jealous when they meet like enemies, especially Zheng Zhichu, who is completely dissatisfied. Know how to respect the teacher and respect the way; let's let it go, don't you see that Shi Guyuan held Zheng Zhichu in the palm of his hand, and occasionally raised his finger to open a slit to show him the world, that finger was still resting on top of Zheng Zhichu's head, a little If there is a little trouble, close it quickly.

Liu Mian classified this deformed relationship as brotherly grievances, and automatically wrote an ethical drama between the younger brother who is eager to gain attention and recognition, and the older brother who is not good at expressing emotions, so when he mentioned Shi Guyuan to Zheng Zhichu, Can't help but say a few good words for him.

Zheng Zhichu still didn't buy it, looked at him narrowly, and asked, "Did you say these words, or did Shi Guyuan ask you to say them?"

Liu Mian said, "It's from my heart."

Zheng Zhichu rolled his eyes: "What's the matter with me and Shi Guyuan? It's none of your business? Is Xu Ping your relative or is she threatening you and making you bother?"

Liu Mian said earnestly: "It's not my idea alone, Mr. Shi told me, my son, let's stop losing our temper, do you know that Tengkong is registered with the Municipal Bureau now, Shi He always has a knife around his neck, he won't tell you about this..."

Zheng Zhichu jumped up to the top of his head in a rage like a monkey, slapped the table, his voice fell on his back, and he jumped to the ceiling: "Don't tell me this, don't tell me that, it's all my fault in the end? You treat me like a child, and at the same time let me grow up quickly. You only know how to pluck the neck, but don’t know how to pad the soil. I’m a fucking giraffe, and I don’t believe it. What can’t you tell me——Listen to me Liu Mian, even Shi Guyuan said what I said! Tengkong is my old Zheng's property from the beginning to the end, and has nothing to do with Shi Guyuan. I, Zheng Zhichu, made the final decision, not he!"

Liu Mian panicked, and impulsively said, "I'm not afraid that you will mess up, and it's all happened a long time ago. Mr. Shi doesn't want to drag you into it..." Zheng Zhichu glared, Liu Mian hurriedly He also said, "If you want to know, I will tell you that there is a man named Xu Liwei in the cell who has been squatting for several years. Recently, he suddenly retracted his confession, accusing Mr. Shi of killing people and asking him to take the blame. Mr. Shi may think this is a private matter. It has nothing to do with the company..."

Zheng Zhichu said in astonishment: "Who are you talking about, Xu Liwei?"

Liu Mian did not expect such a big reaction from him, and said, "Yeah, why, do you know each other?"

"Fuck it!"

Zheng Zhichu cursed in a low voice, got up, grabbed his coat and ran.Liu Mian called him out of nowhere, but Zheng Zhichu said without looking back, "Stop fucking me!"

..................................

Zheng Zhichu almost ran away, stuffed himself into the car out of breath, the key failed to turn on the ignition several times, he was so angry that he slammed the steering wheel hard, and the empty parking lot let out the scream of the siren.

He lit a cigarette and sent the air into his lungs in large gulps, the cigarette turned into a cigarette butt in an instant; he pressed Shi Guyuan's number with one hand. "Pick it up, pick it up..." He murmured anxiously in his heart, but things backfired.

He had long forgotten that this person—Xu Liwei—was an insignificant ant to him, Zheng Zhi was born with wealth, wealth created fame, fame provided arrogance, and arrogance was clean from the eyes.He has read the rumors that water can carry a boat since he was a child, but he was not born in adversity, but must die in peace. The second half of the rumor that was ignored is now backlashed by his previous actions——Shi Guyuan told him , He knows all his actions, knows that he has approached Xu Liwei, knows that he investigates cases that are not good for him, knows that he hates him, knows that he loathes him, knows that he admires him, and even more knows that he loves him.

Shi Guyuan knew everything but did nothing, Zheng Zhichu never heard even a word of resentment from him; Shi Guyuan never stopped him, and even encouraged and indulged him in return; Like a living person with flesh and blood, he is more like a ghost, watching with cold eyes, having no right to intervene, and powerless to change.

The world is mediocre without blame or reputation, and it is best to be mediocre, but Zheng Zhichu's original sin is his origin, and the accumulation of ancestors made him destined not to be mediocre; and Shi Guyuan, at the moment he wanted to live , bid farewell to the most beautiful praise in the world.

Zheng Zhichu rolled down the car window, threw out the cigarette butts, started the car with great difficulty, kicked the accelerator and rushed to the No. [-] Prison in Taoxian City.

..............................

The prison is really a strange place. There are a group of masculine men imprisoned inside, but it is as cold as a snake's den.

Zheng Zhichu came suddenly, and the prison authorities didn't prepare in advance, so the prison guard on duty today is not the one with good friendship, but no one would refuse a simple favor for Bai Luo's favor.Before Xu Liwei was taken to the meeting room, Zheng Zhichu lit a cigarette for the prison guard beside him and asked, "Apart from me and Mr. Shi, has anyone else visited him?"

The prison guard said, "There was one before. He brought a little girl. He is a relative."

"The little girl is his niece?"

"Anyway, I'm called Uncle, what's the relationship? I don't understand..."

"It's none of your business," Zheng Zhichu said, "you'll be watching outside for a while, that thing," he glanced at the monitor, "It's been using too much electricity all day long, and there's no one around."

The prison guard understood, and when Xu Liwei came in, after the routine lecture, he left the room to the two of them.

Xu Liwei stood still, and Zheng Zhichu didn't speak; after drinking a cup of tea slowly, the green dot on the monitor turned into a red dot, Zheng Zhichu said without raising his eyelids, "Sit."

Xu Liwei pulled up the stool and sat down. Zheng Zhichu folded his legs and leaned in the chair, not sitting.Xu Liwei felt that Zheng Zhichu's posture was so similar to that of Shi Guyuan, whom he hated so much, that he could not distinguish between you and me; he suppressed the confusion that was about to move, and shrugged his shoulders and waited for Zheng Zhichu to open his mouth—who did he know? Can not be offended.

Zheng Zhichu said, "Do you still remember me?"

Xu Liwei nodded: "Remember, Mr. Zheng's young master."

Zheng Zhichu didn't talk nonsense with him, and asked straight to the point: "Why do you want to retract the confession?"

Xu Liwei said in surprise, "Didn't you ask me to read it?"

"When the hell did I let you turn over!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense with your eyes open?" Xu Liwei had a hot temper, and his instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages ran to the sky, with his neck stuck, his nostrils flared out, and his eyes were as big as a cow. "It's you and me As I said, my sister is gone, all because of Shi Guyuan's immorality and refusing to give money!"

Zheng Zhichu threw a glass at him: "I'll let you turn over, you didn't fucking let him kill him!"

"Nonsense, doesn't he deserve to kill someone?!"

"Then why don't you die!"

"That's because Shi Guyuan promised to find someone to commute my sentence!"

As soon as the words came out, both of them fell silent.Xu Liwei paused, and put down the last straw: "Besides, I didn't kill the person, and I didn't find someone to take the blame; after the case is overturned, I can at most be regarded as an accomplice, or a tainted witness, and maybe I can be released on bail."

Zheng Zhichu gritted his teeth, leaned over, raised a finger, and said, "One million, you withdraw the complaint."

Xu Liwei lowered his eyeballs to look at the priceless finger, and said, "What's the use of giving me money now, my sister is dead."

"Your sister is dead, and she still has a daughter. Haven't you seen it?" Xu Liwei glanced at him quickly, and Zheng Zhichu sneered, "You motherfucker is playing tricks on me. If you don't agree now, you will beg me in the future." It's no use."

"What do you want to do?"

"If you withdraw the lawsuit, everyone will be happy; otherwise...you are in the cell, I can't move you, but I can do something with your niece; you just look at Chi Yu's submissive virtue, it's not his own, how much can he care?"

Xu Liwei gritted his teeth and said, "Are you mean or not, even a child will not be spared."

Zheng Zhichu folded his arms around his chest, and said with a smirk: "As long as it works—in a word, you can withdraw or not!"

Xu Liwei said: "Don't blow your beard and stare at me here. If you tell me to turn over, I will turn over, and if you tell me to withdraw, I will withdraw? At this point, it is not up to you and me! I put it aside Here, if you dare to touch a single hair of my girl, I won’t kill you when I get out. Anyway, I’m dead, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, let’s wait and see!”

Zheng Zhichu gasped out of tight wavy lines in anger, and the roots of his teeth ooze blood: "You are indeed a rotten life, and you are not worthy to exchange your life for a single hair of his!"

Xu Liwei thought carefully about the deep meaning of the words, but felt that the words were too close to the brothers; before he could figure out the result, he heard Zheng Zhichu say: "I'll give you 30 seconds to think about it, I hope you can give me the answer I want."

"No need," Xu Liwei said, "I think 30 seconds is too long. I won't withdraw the complaint, Mr. Zheng, do it yourself!"

"Okay...okay..." Zheng Zhichu showed a ferocious and distorted smile, "You wait to collect your niece's body!"

After speaking, he got up and opened the door to leave; Xu Liwei suddenly rushed over, pressed Zheng Zhichu against the door, and firmly grabbed his neck with both hands;

Zheng Zhichu held his breath, blushed, and held the handle of the gun from his chest, and the situation changed in an instant; Say hello.

Zheng Zhichu looked at it coldly for a while, and the voice of the stick added to his body was dull and sweet, which helped him breathe a lot.He put away his gun, waved his hand to let the guards step aside, knelt down, slapped Xu Liwei across the face, and said softly: "You think I'm stupid, a guy with no self-defense, how dare you come to see you alone? "

After that, he stood up and said to the prison guard, "Cuff him!" Then he turned to Xu Liwei and said, "When you came, I had someone remove the handcuffs for you. Handcuff you... I will give you an advice, my patience is limited, please change your mind early - take him away! Fuck it!"

..........................................

After the last fight, Chi Xiaoyu and the little boy were forced by the teacher and parents to shake hands and make peace, but she still had a knot in her heart; after arguing with her father over and over again for Uncle Shi, Chi Yu coaxed her at first, and then repeatedly Too much, Chi Yu actually yelled at her.

Chi Xiaoyu cried and chirped most of the night, and went to the kindergarten the next day with a walnut eye; Chi Yu looked at her pitiful appearance, felt very guilty, sacrificed her lunch time, and went to the toy store to choose a big one for her. Doll; Chi Xiaoyu couldn't understand the adult's heart, she just felt that her father hated her, and in this world, only Uncle Shi would want her.

So, it was also lunch break at noon, Chi Xiaoyu did not follow the teacher to take a nap, but relied on her small body to escape the eyes of the uncle in the security room and the uncle in the mail room, slipped out of the kindergarten, and then according to memory, stumbling on the ground. The bus—fortunately not yet at the height to buy a ticket—came to the opposite side of Tengkong Group.

At present, she and her uncle Shi are only separated by a road.

But she can't cross the road by herself.

She wandered blankly outside the flow of traffic and people, sucking her thumb. The smell of fried skewers wafted not far away. She turned her head to look. , and the yellow orange yam...

Chi Yu rarely allowed her to eat these things, which were unhygienic and would cause tooth decay; today without her father by her side, Chi Xiaoyu swallowed and walked over, staring straight at the huge, thick layer of syrup-wrapped strawberry.

The hawker selling candied haws said: "My little friend, if you want to eat it, ask your mother to buy it for you."

"He's not there, he's inside." Chi Xiaoyu pointed to the Tengkong Building opposite.

"You came out alone?"

Chi Xiaoyu nodded: "I want to find Uncle Shi."

"You want to find your uncle, where is your uncle?"

Chi Xiaoyu pointed again: "It's over there."

"He asked you—hey, what are you doing!"

"I still asked what you want to do!" Zheng Zhichu pulled Chi Xiaoyu over, glared at the peddler, lowered his head and shook his face at Chi Xiaoyu, "Your father didn't tell you not to talk to strangers casually!"

There were tear bubbles in Chi Xiaoyu's eyes, and he turned around in fright.

"Why are you here? Where's your dad?" Seeing that Chi Xiaoyu didn't answer, Zheng Zhichu's voice became louder, "I'm asking you something, you're dumb. Where's your dad? Where's Chi Yu!"

Chi Xiaoyu cried "Wow", and pulled her sleeves to hide; the vendors around said: "Who are you, you scare the child!"

"I'm her uncle!" Zheng Zhichu yelled back, picked up Chi Xiaoyu's armpit, and carried him into the car.

He just came back from the prison, bumped into a wall at Xu Liwei's place, he was full of fire and had no place to vent his anger, when he came to Tengkong, he found a familiar little face talking to someone, and there was no adult next to him, the peddler looked like a rat With bad intentions; Zheng Zhichu stuffed Chi Xiaoyu, who was crying non-stop, into the car, locked the doors and windows, and threatened her: "Don't cry, if you cry again, you will be betrayed!"

Chi Xiaoyu scolded him sobably: "Big villain! I want to tell Uncle Shi!"

"You tell me, I can't fucking cure you anymore," Zheng Zhichu said, "Today is not a day off, is it? You are dishonestly staying in the kindergarten, why are you here? You sneaked out!"

Chi Xiaoyu wiped away tears and said, "I don't want to talk to you!"

Zheng Zhichu made a gesture and started the car: "Don't say I sold you."

Chi Xiaoyu was forced by the coercion, and said vaguely: "I miss Uncle Shi..."

"Why do you want him?" Zheng Zhichu threatened her maliciously, "He doesn't even want you anymore."

"You liar, Uncle Shi likes me the most, you big villain——"

Zheng Zhichu said: "He doesn't want me anymore, can he still want you?" After a pause, he said, "Okay, don't cry, it's annoying."

While talking, she pulled out a few tissues from her hands and roughly wiped Chi Xiaoyu's nose; after a few squeezes, Chi Xiaoyu's nose turned red into a strawberry, she rubbed it, and sobbed, "Uncle Shi is not He won't want me, he likes me the most."

"Fart, if he likes me, he likes me the most. Who are you?"

Chi Xiaoyu glanced at him timidly, and said, "Uncle Shi said that others listen to him, but he only listens to me."

"If he listens to you, why doesn't he come to see you if you miss him so much?"

Chi Xiaoyu endured and endured, but couldn't hold back, and began to cry again.

Zheng Zhichu looked at her and found it fresh: Chi Xiaoyu and Shi Guyuan looked so much alike, it made him feel like he was bullying Shi Guyuan when he was young, and he even cried because of him.This expression can never be found on Shi Guyuan's face, it's really interesting.

After admiring it for a while, Zheng Zhichu wiped her nose with a few tissues, then started the car contentedly, and sent her back to the kindergarten.Chi Xiaoyu didn't know his intention and asked, "Where are we going?"

Zheng Zhichu said: "Sell you in the valley to be a child bride. You have to work in the fields every day before dawn. You can't sleep when the dog sleeps. You can't eat meat. When you grow up, you can marry someone. Give birth to children!"

Chi Xiaoyu wailed loudly, kicking his calves: "I don't want to go——Dad——Uncle Shi—"

Zheng Zhichu added fuel to the fire: "Shut up! Howling again will eat you up!"

"I don't want to go...I don't want to go..."

When they arrived at the kindergarten, Chi Xiaoyu was still full of energy. Zheng Zhichu opened the car door for her and said in a broken voice, "Get out of here! Get out!"

Chi Xiaoyu turned a deaf ear to it, and lay on the seat crying like a river; Zheng Zhichu recalled the bold words he had uttered in front of Xu Liwei, but at this moment he had no choice but to humiliate himself for the first time in his life: "I just teased you, silly girl, don't cry, don't you?" Crying and buying candied haws for you to eat."

Chi Xiaoyu cried and said, "Two bunches, one bunch of strawberries and one bunch of yams..."

Zheng Zhichu bought it for her, took her out of the car, and went to the gate of the kindergarten. Chi Xiaoyu's tears began to dry; Zheng Zhichu stuffed a few pieces of paper into her hand in disgust, and said, "Your nose is sticking to your head, is it disgusting?"

Chi Xiaoyu wiped it off, looked at him suddenly and said, "I really miss Uncle Shi, you tell him, let him come and see me."

Zheng Zhi gave her a first look: "I still miss him, who should I tell?"

Chi Xiaoyu fell silent, her little eyes were extremely melancholy.After imprinting a few teeth marks on the hard strawberries, she whispered, "...does Uncle Shi really want me?"

"...It's fake! It's okay to be fake!" Zheng Zhichu scratched his hair irritably, bent down, stared at Chi Xiaoyu, and warned, "But listen to me, Shi Guyuan is me. Yes, do you hear me?"

Chi Xiaoyu blinked: "But he likes me the most."

Zheng Zhichu growled: "I just asked if you heard clearly!"

Chi Xiaoyu subconsciously shook her head.

"Um?!"

Chi Xiaoyu nodded quickly.

"Go, don't play truant again!" Zheng Zhichu bared his teeth and threatened, "If I catch you again, I'll sell you. If you sell far away, no one will find you!"

...........................

Xu Liwei was fined to be locked up in a small black room for a day. During dinner, he bribed the guard with the 500 yuan emergency expenses that Chi Yu brought him last time, saying he wanted to make a family call.

He got 3 minutes of talk time, and he explained the whole story. In a word, he told Chi Yu again and again, be careful of Zheng Zhichu and Shi Guyuan, and avoid dealing with people who are in the sky; she.
