there are wolves

Xue Mingyao's case was settled and he was sentenced to four years in prison. According to the lawyer, he expected more than six years. This result is really a blessing in misfortune, and it is all the result of Zhou Xiaoliang's mediation.

Before Yu Wangran returned to China, Zhou Xiaoliang told him to call him if he needed help. At first, he completely ignored this person, and he didn’t think of him until the results of the first trial came out. So that night, he called Zhou Xiaoliang from overseas. There.

Zhou Xiaoliang has already transferred to Europe, and it seems that returning to China is not in his three-month schedule, but Yu Wangran knows that the connections Yu Fengnian has accumulated over the years are not of much use in front of politics and law, but Zhou Xiaoliang's family background is strong and his career is well-developed He must be able to use power to make the ruthless law talk about some human feelings, and he will always find a way.

So Yu Wangran asked him for help, and Zhou Xiaoliang flew back to China the next day, leaving Mr. Zhou almost pissed off, and started running around when he returned home, visiting high-ranking officials and dignitaries, building bridges and paving the way, and doing everything by himself , From the police station to the court, everything was handled by him, and the results were soon revealed in the second court hearing.

Yu Wangran didn't understand how he handled things, he only knew that he was extremely tough and courageous. In those days when Zhou Xiaoliang set up a bureau to treat guests, Yu Wangran often accompanied him. Both stayed in the car with Zhou Xiaoliang's driver and waited outside the hotel. He wanted to keep up with the progress of the tense.

One night, Zhou Xiaoliang accompanied several dignitaries out of a resort, and they stood in front of a row of waiting buses, exchanging pleasantries, and then walked away contentedly.

Zhou Xiaoliang returned to the car, and said something to Wang Ran that he half understood.

"Educators, politicians, businessmen, politicians, rulers, enforcers, all capitalized"

Yu Wangran didn't want to hear about his business experience, so he asked bluntly, "How's it going?"

Zhou Xiaoliang was a little drunk, he put one hand on the car window, his thumb and forefinger rested lightly on his lips and chin, his pupils dripping with alcohol gleamed and looked at Yu Wangran, he pursed his lips for a long time and smiled, and said: "You What you ask me to do, I will do well.”

Yu Wangran felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by his aggressive eyes, turned his face away, unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to him, saying, "Well, thank you."

This matter was done very well by Zhou Xiaoliang. Xue Mingyao was sentenced to four years in prison for accidental homicide due to excessive self-defense. He was sent to the best prison in the city to serve his sentence. If he behaves better, his sentence will be commuted by at least one year.

Yu Wangran thanked him very much, and sent Zhou Xiaoliang, who had a short errand back home and was going back to Europe on business, to the airport. After watching his plane leave, he remembered that today was the day Xue Mingyao was forced to serve his sentence in prison, so he hurried to the airport. to the detention center.

The road in front of the detention center was deserted and empty, with only one police car parked under the shade of a tree by the side of the road. Several policemen in black explosion-proof suits stood in front of the car with their guns in their hands and patrolled around. When Yu Wangran arrived, Xue Mingyao had already come out, wearing a gray prison uniform and handcuffs, and was standing at the gate of the black gate, being guarded by two police officers, talking to Xiang Yang.

Xue Mingyao lost weight again, and the prison uniform seemed to be put on an empty clothes rack on his body, but his white face was more angry than when he was in court, and there were fragmentary and faint smiles in the corners of his eyes and brows. Smiling, the way he talked to Xiang Yang returned to the gentle and clean boy he was before.

Yu Wangran looked at them from a distance, and suddenly he didn't dare to move forward, for fear of disturbing them.

Later, before Xue Mingyao was urged by the police to take him into the police car, Xiang Yang hugged him quickly and tightly, then waved to him and said, "I'll wait for you."

Xue Mingyao looked back at him every step he took, until he got into the police car and was taken away by the police car.

Yu Wangran didn't know what they said, he only knew that Xiangyang was extremely relaxed at this moment, he stood quietly for a while looking at the direction the police car was leaving, with a faint smile on his face, and then walked along Follow the boulevard opposite to Yu Wangran and slowly leave.

Since then, Yu Wangran has never seen Xiangyang. On the first day of school, Lin Shuer did not return to school to report, and neither did Xiangyang. He knew where Lin Shuer was going. She took a year off from school and followed her mother to Macau for a while. Home, as for Xiang Yang, he had a relationship and was transferred to a middle school in the capital to continue teaching, which is the city where Xue Mingyao served his sentence.

Perhaps he wanted to guard Xue Mingyao outside the prison city, or maybe it was also for the convenience of visiting him. In short, he left. This city, walking and scattered, left only one Yu Wangran.

Yu Wangran still did not return the hut. He packed Xue Mingyao's things and took them back to his home to put them away. He locked a lock outside the gate and kept the key, so he sealed the hut with no one inside. , no one can get in.

When he entered the third year of high school, his homework became more and more heavy, and he gradually lost his mind to think about those messy things and messy people. He still thought of Luo Xunyi occasionally, but he was very calm now, thinking of him also He was quickly forgotten again.

He's gone, he told himself, you're an adult, you can't look back too often, you can't act emotionally, you can't dwell on the sorrows and separations of the past.

He and Lin Shuer have not lost contact. Lin Shuer said that recently she traveled around with her mother's dance troupe, went to many new places, met many new people, and bought a lot of new things. And Yu Xiangrong's has already been mailed over, and Xue Mingyao's one, she kept it for him.

Zhou Xiaoliang also calls him from time to time. The places he calls are always moving randomly on the world map. Maybe today is South America, and tomorrow he will be in the Eastern Hemisphere. He always coordinates with Beijing time to contact Yu Wangran. Yu Wangran once joked Ask him, when can he settle down?

Zhou Xiaoliang also always said that it will be soon...

The days passed by in such a dull and hasty manner, and Yu Wangran became more and more busy, he pushed himself harder than before, wishing he could tear himself apart into two people to study hard, and he didn't know who it was for.

He is getting busier and busier, and so is Yu Fengnian, and he often travels on business, which is usually included. His father has been in business for many years and has been promoted to the boss. He no longer needs him to travel on business in person, but in recent months, his father Always leaving early and returning late, flying back and forth from various places, so abnormal that I forgot to notice it.

He asked his mother, but Yu's mother kept it secret and refused to say anything. She only said that he could study with peace of mind and not worry about other things.

It wasn't until winter, when the winter snow fell several times, and the end of the new year was approaching, that Yu Wangran overheard his parents talking outside his study, and realized that their family was facing a crisis.

Yu's company is about to fail. A few months ago, Yu Fengnian partnered with others to contract several buildings in the demolition area in the west of the city. The contract stipulated that the construction would be completed within half a year, only because of an accident during the construction of the building a month ago. , a worker fell from a shelf, causing paraplegia at a high position. The family of the injured person sued Yu's company in court. Coupled with the jealousy of his peers, many people in the mainland resorted to a lot of tricks, and the project had to be put on hold for the time being. Yu Feng When investigating internal troubles in [-], foreign troubles broke out again. The partners took the project funds and ran away, leaving Yu Fengnian with an empty shell of three buildings and a financial account with a broken capital chain. The wages of thousands of workers could not be paid. When it happened, internal and external troubles struck together, making Yu Fengnian extremely busy. All the internal funds of the company were used up to smash the early stage, and the prepaid funds from the other party could not even maintain the internal operation. Stopped, tens of thousands of workers went on strike every day to ask for wages, the completion date agreed in the contract was imminent, but the building was only in its infancy, and it was a huge breach of contract fee.

The company has a huge book deficit that cannot be filled and cannot make ends meet. The board of directors is about to vote to declare bankruptcy.

Yu Fengnian has been running around to raise funds, mortgaged all the factories and office buildings for financing, and can only keep the company for a while. This time he came back to discuss the mortgage of the house with Yu's mother...

Yu Wangran only knew that there was a problem with his family's company, but he didn't know that he was facing bankruptcy. Standing at the door of the study, listening to his father comforting his weeping mother in a low voice, he felt his own incompetence and insignificance...

After breakfast the next morning, Yu Fengnian walked to the entrance with the briefcase containing the real estate certificate, put on his coat, waved to Yu Wangran and Yu Xiangrong with a relaxed and happy expression, and said, "Dad is going out for a few days. , come back and bring you gifts"

It was already winter, and the wind outside was bitter and turbulent. Yu's mother helped her husband tie his tie, opened the door, and told her to be careful on the road.

Yu Fengnian nodded, tightened his scarf and walked out.

Yu Wangran stood at the door of the restaurant, watching the moment the door was opened, a gust of cold wind blew on his father with white snow, Yu Fengnian walked out of the door and stood under the eaves and suddenly stopped in his tracks. His back fell down like a mountain collapsed...

Yu Fengnian had a tumor on his pituitary gland, and it was getting worse. In the past few years, he has been ignoring his health and focusing on his career, which is considered to be the root of the disaster. Recently, he has been worrying, walking and running, and the disease that he has hidden for many years is finally here. It broke out, and Yu Fengnian fell ill and couldn't get up.

The doctor sent him to hospital for treatment, but the first thing he did after waking up from shock was to pull out the infusion needle and leave the hospital. He used brute force, and two or three little nurses couldn't control it.

Yu Wangran, his mother and younger sister had just returned to the ward after talking with the chief doctor, and found that Yu Fengnian was already awake, and was pushing and shoving with two or three nurses.

Seeing this scene, Yu Wangran felt as if the plasma in his brain had exploded, and walked over to push Yu Fengnian head-on to the hospital bed.

Yu Fengnian punched the bed: "You stop me! Why stop me? The company is going to collapse, I can't collapse before it!"

Yu's mother and Yu Xiangrong cried out, holding Yu Fengnian down from left to right, the woman's weak and sad cries hit Yu Wangran's temples hard like two drumsticks, and he trembled from the pain .

Yu Fengnian went back to comfort his wife and daughter, saying that his body is fine, he knows his body best, and he will come back to the hospital as soon as he finishes his work, let him be discharged quickly...

With a bang, the sound of knees smashing into the floor was heard in the ward abruptly and dully. The three people who were arguing looked at Yu Wangran who was kneeling on the ground at the same time.

Yu Wangran knelt down facing his father on the hospital bed, lowered his head, clenched his fists, and said, "Dad, take a break, I will help you with the things you haven't finished."
