Ninth Symphony

"This thing is really more exciting than listening to stories."

This was Xi Yin's first reaction after listening to Du Zhiheng and Du Nian talk about their love, hatred and child robbery.

He had been a quiet listener for a long time without interjecting, but his expression was a bit strange at this time, as if he was confused or helpless.

"Is it that being a thief is too degrading, and you will lose your children and grandchildren." Xi Yin said with a cool smile.

Du Zhiheng was stunned for a moment and found that he was speechless, but Du Nian couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth gloatingly.

Thinking about it, it is true, among the four brothers Xi Zhuyun, Du Zhiheng, Wu Chen and Zhong Shu, Du Zhiheng and Zhong Shu are not married, only Xi Zhuyun and Wu Chen have two sons respectively, but these four children are still unlucky. It is bent, and the incense is obviously not going to last.

It's ironic when you think about it.

What's even more ridiculous is that the two sons of the Wu family fell in love with the two brothers of the Xi family, and they didn't even have a chance to develop "foreign aid", so they directly resolved it internally.

Fortunately, Xi Zhuoyun and Wu Chen are very open-minded in this regard, and have always respected their children's choices, so the relationship between Du Nian, Wu Yi, Xi Le and Xi Yin developed so smoothly——

... At least before the accident happened three years ago, everything went smoothly.

The three of them were silent for a few minutes at the same time, and Xi Yin said again: "Uncle Du, I don't care about any grievances between you in the previous generation. I have one thing I want to confirm with you now. Please tell me the truth."

"Tell me." Du Zhiheng looked at him.

Xi Yin's fists were tightened a little by his side, as if Du Zhiheng's answer didn't meet his expectations, he was about to strike.

"Uncle Du, did you personally arrange the person who followed us to protect?"

Du Zhiheng had already heard about what happened in advance, and knew that Wu Yi was injured because two of the four people who accompanied them to Iloka suddenly attacked Xi Yin on the way off the plane and rushed to the side of the road. Some people responded and blew their car tires with nails, and it was a fatal battle.

Wu Yi sat in the same car as Xi Yin, and at the critical moment, Wu Yi desperately protected Xi Yin and helped him block the most fatal blows, but he was seriously injured three times.

Fortunately, the car that Ji Shi and his subordinates were sitting in was right behind them. Although the driver deliberately took a detour, Ji Shi found out in time, and after he dealt with the driver, he chased him with his own car. The delay was less than 10 minutes.

But even those few minutes are hard enough.

This time, the other party was obviously prepared, and they were all masters. Xi Yin used all his strength to barely protect Wu Yi from getting hurt again. He was injured all over his body, and in the end he couldn't beat him and was killed by those people. Pressed dead on the ground, the manuscripts on his body were searched, his chest and abdomen were trampled so painfully, as if they were about to burst, and his throat was filled with the smell of blood.

If Ji Shi came a few minutes later, Xi Yin might become paralyzed if he didn't die.

However, Xi Yin had a vague feeling at the time that the other party didn't really want his life. Their main purpose was the manuscript, and after getting the manuscript, they didn't show any intention of killing him.

But why did Xi Le's situation go wrong?

If you just want to get the manuscript, there is no need to drive people to a corner with a gun.

Thinking of this, Xi Yin felt a wave of fear in his heart. He was really afraid that Xi Le would really die, and his hands were shaking just thinking about it.

"Xi Yin." At this moment, Du Nian stretched out his hand from the side, grabbed his arm and pressed it lightly, and said to Du Zhiheng: "What's going on, why is there something wrong with the person you arranged, give me an explanation."

"I did a thorough investigation when I arranged for people, but something happened like this, which only shows that these people were buried nails before I checked." Du Zhiheng rubbed his hands subconsciously, and muttered: "Xiaoyin, the key point Your people are not mine."

"I don't want it to be you either." Xi Yin stared at him, "But you need more convincing to convince me."

Du Zhiheng nodded slightly: "I know you can't believe me, but no matter how much I explain now, it sounds like an excuse. I said I didn't know that Du Nian would bring Xiao Le to Iloka. You must not believe me. I said that I and Zhong Brother's death has nothing to do with it and there is no real evidence, but there is one thing, at least one thing, please believe me."

Xi Yin pursed her lips, Du Nian snorted and asked, "You want to say... Uncle Wu?"

"It's impossible for me to kill him." Du Zhiheng lowered his eyelids when he said this, completely covering his emotions.

Xi Yin and Du Nian didn't say a word, and after waiting for a while, he continued: "According to the speculation of the existing clues, you should also agree that the mastermind behind this series of events is the same, starting three years ago. wrong?"

Du Nian: "You are right, but nothing is absolute. As the chief of police, don't you find it ridiculous to say 'impossible' to describe the suspect relationship?"

Xi Yin: "Yes, since you were able to do such insane things as robbing people of their own flesh and blood before, who can be sure that you won't kill people in a fit of anger because of sudden conflicts?"

"Would you do it?" Du Zhiheng ignored the aggression in their words, and suddenly asked, "Du Nian, would you be so angry that you wanted to kill Xiao Le? And Xiao Yin, you would kill Wu because of a sudden conflict." One?"

"No. But I also won't take away his child." Xi Yin said coldly.

Du Zhiheng smiled wryly, "The nature is different. One is to make him suffer the same pain as me, and the other is to lose him forever. Is this judgment difficult?"

"Didn't you say that you've become indifferent?" Du Nian said in a cold voice, "If you don't have feelings, it's not surprising that you would do this."

"It's bearish to be bearish, but some feelings will never disappear in a lifetime."

Du Zhiheng sighed heavily, his expression seemed to have suddenly aged a few years, revealing deep helplessness.

Du Nian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't bear it for a moment, and he still couldn't say what was even more extreme.

But Du Zhiheng took the initiative to say to him after waiting for a few seconds: "Du Nian, didn't you keep asking me why I closed the case in a hurry three years ago? I can tell you the reason now."

Now Du Nian and Xi Yin raised their heads to look at him at the same time.

Du Zhiheng took a deep breath, with a solemn face: "I won't repeat some things you already know before. In fact, I knew the existence of this black hand behind the scenes three years ago. At that time, Brother Yun and his sister-in-law suddenly had an accident. I thought it was us Someone betrayed him, so he must have leaked information that shouldn't be revealed, but I didn't expect to find out...him after following this clue."

"Uncle Wu betrayed my father." Xi Yin said indifferently.

Du Nian's current position was inexplicably awkward, although he had already guessed it, but he remained silent at the moment.

Du Zhiheng continued: "I went to confront him, and only then did I know that the person behind the scenes threatened him with Wu Yi's personal safety, and he had no choice but to tell that person about Brother Yun."

"Then you were persuaded? You chose to turn a blind eye to the death of my parents because of the 'sweetheart' you couldn't ask for?" Xi Yin's voice was full of cold sarcasm.

Du Zhiheng shook his head, looked at Du Niancai again, and said, "I didn't choose between brothers, but I had to put Wu Yi's safety as the top priority at that time... I have already robbed him of a son, I How can he lose another..."

Speaking of Wu Yi, Xi Yin's eyes softened slightly.

"Xiaoyin, you have to trust me, I really want to find out about your parents' case, but I can't risk the lives of the living."

"You can't take any risks, so let's investigate this matter now." Du Nian finally spoke, looking at Du Zhiheng, "You just said that Uncle Wu had contact with the person behind the scenes three years ago, so he didn't tell you about that person who is it?"

"No, because even he can't confirm the identity of that person." After Du Zhiheng finished speaking, he showed a pensive expression, and he fell silent.

Du Nian and Xi Yin looked at each other with obvious distrust in their eyes.

Uncle Wu had always been known for being cautious and meticulous in their four-person theft gang. How could a person like him know nothing about his son's life when his son's life was threatened?

Did he hide something from Du Zhiheng, or did Du Zhiheng not tell them all the truth?

Based on what he has known about Du Zhiheng for so many years, Du Nian feels that what he has said so far is true.If the person behind the scenes really had nothing to do with him, Du Nian's heart would finally be lessened.

Just thinking about it, the sharp-eyed Du Nian suddenly noticed through the translucent glass wall that Xi Le who was lying on the bed in the inner room seemed to move, and he stood up instantly and opened the door to go in.

"Lele??" When Du Nian walked over, he found that Xi Le's eyelashes were trembling slightly. He seemed to want to open his eyes, but it was very difficult.

"Xiao Le? Is he awake?" Xi Yin also came over to help her on the bed and looked at Xi Le nervously.

Du Nian didn't answer him, and stared at the man who was still struggling with his eyelids without blinking, until he saw a tiny slit between his trembling eyelashes, as if a faint light was pouring from that slit And then, his heart that had been dark for a long time finally had some traces of being illuminated.

"Du...Nian..." It took Xi Le a while to recognize him, and he opened his eyes wide again, calling out his name with some difficulty.

At this moment, it was like a scorching warm current burned from the heart to the eye sockets, making the corners of the eyes hot, and Du Nian almost failed to control his emotions.

"I'm going to pour water." He turned away from the bed abruptly, lowered his head and desperately swallowed back the sourness welling up in his chest.

"Xiao Le..." Xi Yin didn't notice Du Nian's abnormality. He focused all his attention on his younger brother at the moment. After dialing the two sides, it was still stained with part of the blood that had solidified, which could not be seen with the eyes, but could be felt with the touch of the hand.

Xi Yin thought of how he felt when he was shot, and now he felt even more worried.He should have protected him...

"Hey..." Xi Le suddenly turned his eyes to him at this moment, his expression seemed to want to laugh but he couldn't move the corners of his mouth, as if he was so angry that he still didn't forget to sarcastically say: "Why are you... acting in... a movie? Isn't it... ...and plan to...cry for me...to see..."

Xi Yin had just brewed up some emotions, but he immediately vented half of them when he interrupted him. She couldn't help but smiled helplessly and said: "You should talk less, the wound will hurt if you talk too much."

"Come on..." Xi Le rolled his eyes while lying on the spot, "Even if I...don't say...it still hurts..."

Just at this time Du Nian came back after receiving the water, his eyes darkened when he heard his words, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to persuade him, but in the end he didn't say a word.

Du Nian put the water glass on the head of the bed first, and then gave Xi Yin a wink, motioning for him to help Xi Le up a little bit. Xi Yin understood, put her hand under Xi Le's neck carefully, and then supported her with one hand. Hold the back of his head, gently lift his head at an angle, and try not to move his upper body.

However, even though he was paying attention, Xi Le still felt a sharp pain radiating from several wounds along with his body movements, and it spread all over his body in an instant, and he broke out in a cold sweat. His already pale face almost turned transparent.

"Hmm..." Xi Le clenched his teeth to prevent himself from making a sound, but there was still a trace of pain leaking out of his throat.

"Lele..." Du Nian shook the hand holding the cup uncontrollably, the water almost spilled on the quilt, Xi Yin couldn't help frowning and glanced at him.

And Xi Le's eyes were closed just now because of the pain, but now he tried to open them again and saw the shaken expression on Du Nian's face, he couldn't help being startled.

"Du Nian..." He opened his mouth to call him, but when Du Nian heard it, his pupils shrank suddenly as if he suddenly woke up, and his body froze for a few seconds, then he bent down and continued the action just now, feeding water to the mat. happy lips.

While sipping water with great effort, Xi Le silently looked at him, thinking to himself: He is a bit abnormal, maybe he is blaming himself for my injury?But it's not so... He shouldn't be too hard on this kind of thing.

Seeing that the water was finished, Xi Le was still thinking about taking a breath and asked Du Nian what was the matter, but Du Nian put the cup aside, stood up and said to Xi Yin: "Take good care of him first, I have something to do."

Xi Le: ...? ?Going out to do something?I'm already like this, you still "go out to do something"? !Shouldn't you show meticulous care to me at this time?

Xi Yin was also a little puzzled, but he thought Du Nian might want to check on Wu Yi's situation. Even if Du Nian liked Xi Le no matter how much he liked Xi Le at this moment, he couldn't care less about his younger brother he had just discovered. It is also human nature, just like myself.

So Xi Yin nodded and silently watched Du Nian go out.

But when he turned around, he found that Xi Le was staring at him in pain and bewilderment, and asked in a hoarse and astringent voice, "What... what's wrong with him?"

"It's okay, I guess it's because the pressure has been too much these two days, so it's easy for him to hide and smoke when you wake up." Xi Yin held Xi Le's hand and comforted him, and didn't want to say too much to worry him yet.

But Xi Le obviously didn't believe it.

He always felt that Du Nian's expression just now seemed to be traumatized... But what could make Du Nian feel traumatized?Isn't he always a heartless "immortal Xiaoqiang" image, what's wrong this time...

If you are too worried about him, then he is already awake now, why doesn't he want to stay with him?

"...Xiao Le?"

Xi Le kept guessing, and vaguely heard Xi Yin calling him, but when he wanted to see Xi Yin again, he realized that his vision was blurred again, and his head was getting heavier and heavier, obviously a sign that he was about to fall asleep again .

"...Du Nian...Du..." Xi Le tried to speak louder, but the pain in the wound became worse as soon as he exerted force.

And until he passed out completely, the only thing he kept chanting was this name.
