Darkest Action

In the evening, Comrade Meng Guoxiang rushed over from the suburbs, and as soon as he entered the living room, he saw the table full of dishes. He was even more puzzled and asked me: "Son, you called me from a long distance, and why did you do this?" Duocai, is it to celebrate your discharge from the hospital, or to catch up with some festival?"

I deliberately sobered up a bottle of red wine for the old man, and asked him to sit down: "Hey! Don't ask so many questions, let's have a meal together!"

Qi Rui said hello to Comrade Meng Guoxiang and sat down beside me.

With sharp eyes, the old man caught sight of the rings on Qi Rui's and me's ring fingers.Immediately, the old man stood up immediately and said let us wait for him for a while, he had to go downstairs to buy something.

I said it's all ready for dinner, what is there to buy in such a hurry?

The old man ignored me, he had to go downstairs, and he didn't let me accompany him.

Qi Rui and I looked at each other, waited for half an hour, and finally waited for Comrade Meng Guoxiang to come back.He didn't have anything extra in his hand, but took out two big red envelopes from his arms, handed them to me and Qi Rui respectively, and scolded me: "It's such a big thing, why don't you talk about it on the phone?" Make it clear? Let me come empty-handed! Fortunately, your dad also brought two bank cards, each of you will give you [-] yuan, and you won't be able to withdraw the extra ones for a while..."

What the old man said made my eyes sore. I was not born in a rich and happy family, but I have a father who loves me.I know that Meng Guoxiang and Zhang Aiying have been married for more than 30 years, and he has always been raided, leaving little money.These two stacks of thick red envelopes were all earned by his hard work.

I shook my head: "Dad, take this money back! Your cooperative has just started, and farming is not without risk, so you can keep the money for yourself."

Meng Guoxiang was unhappy: "What's the matter, now that you are a leader, you look down on farmers?"

I was dumbfounded by his question, Qi Rui was on the sidelines to smooth things over: "Uncle, Meng Ran and I really don't need money. But if you insist on keeping the money, then it's you who deposited it with us. "

Meng Guoxiang smiled and said yes.

The family dinner after the proposal lasted from late at night. Comrade Meng Guoxiang drank wine and talked more and more. He first thanked Qi Rui on behalf of me, and then thanked the government on behalf of the old and young people of the cooperative. Be grateful and fulfilled.

That night, Meng Guoxiang drank too much and got drunk. Lao Meng said that his head was a little swollen and he wanted to go back quickly.Qi Rui and I both drank too much, so we couldn't drive him off.

Seeing my father's appearance, Qi Rui was worried that the old man would take a taxi home alone, so he discussed with me: "How about letting uncle live at home?"

I don't mind Lao Meng staying overnight at all, but... tonight is considered a wedding night, and I originally planned to entangle Qi Rui hard enough, if my dad is also under the same roof, it will add a lot of inconvenience.

Lao Meng was very witty and insisted on going back, but the old man had only taken a few steps before he wobbled and lost his center of gravity.I quickly supported him: "Don't leave tonight, stay with us."

Lao Meng looked at me hesitantly: "Then... will it affect you?"

He asked me so that I felt ashamed right away: "What can it affect? ​​I'll get you something to wash with!"

So, the night before the proposal, the old man stayed because he was drunk.

Qi Rui was going to clean up the dishes, I stopped him and said, "I'll come and I'll come, you go and rest, don't do it! You just married me, don't let my wife suffer!"

"You can't stop calling me this name, right?" Qi Rui asked with a smile.

I pushed him into the study and asked him to find some entertainment on his own. The housework was put aside, and I could handle it by myself.

After tidying up, I arranged for Lao Meng to sleep, and entered the master bedroom, where Qi Rui was sitting by the bay window smoking a cigarette.Like me, he has no addiction to cigarettes, and he only takes a few puffs when he catches up with something.

Seeing me coming, Qi Rui put down his cigarette, patted the cushion beside him, and let me sit next to him: "What did you see on my computer in the afternoon?"

I felt a "thump" in my heart, but my face was still calm: "Oh, the unit urged me to take sick leave, just in time for my computer system to be updated, so I will use yours. What's the matter, what's wrong with your computer? secret?"

Qi Rui didn't make jokes with me, and gradually became serious: "There are some things I didn't tell you, because I didn't want you to get involved, and Qi Feng and I should bear those things."

"What?" I continued to play dumb, "What are you burdened with?"

"As expected of Team Meng, who confronted Liu Han head-on, your current acting skills are much better than in the past."

Qi Rui sighed, got up and locked the door.Then, he took out a pair of gloves, put them on, opened the safe in the bedroom, and took out a transparent package, which contained a cheongsam, a cheongsam half-stained with blood.

"This cheongsam?" I was stunned.

"You are very smart. You actually arranged and combined them to decipher the password. When you saw me coming back, you knew how to clear the browsing history, but there is a camera in the study. Forgot to clear it?"

Qi Rui saw everything about me, he suspected that I had discovered the secret between him and Qi Feng, so he checked the surveillance.

I couldn't put it on anymore, and took a deep breath: "I really didn't expect Qi Zeyang to be so double-faced! I heard that he only drinks the worst tea for tea, and his basic necessities are simple. In vain, I thought he was He's a clean official! I didn't expect him to be a brutal murderer! These years, you and Master Feng have worked hard..."

I was indignant on my lips, but I couldn't figure out why the bloody dress on Chen Wanhua was in Qi Rui's hands?I also couldn't figure out why he didn't report on Qi Zeyang when he had the video evidence in his hand?

Qi Rui looked at the cheongsam, with nostalgia in his eyes.He told me about his mother for the first time. Chen Wanhua was a gentle and persistent woman. In that era when the atmosphere was more rigid, she was born in a noble family and came from a famous family, but she dared to break free from the shackles of class and defend her love.But the cruel fate took love as a robbery and let her die here.

Chen Wanhua fell in love with the wrong person. She spent half her life, but her lover, who had poured countless emotions into her, deliberately concocted a revenge.

In Qi Rui's narration, I learned that the high-ranking bureau chief was completely unable to integrate into the Chen family because of his ordinary background, humble position, aloof self-esteem and distorted mentality.

However, in order to achieve his political ideals, Qi Zeyang chose to bear the burden of humiliation and sharpened his head to join the Chen family.When he gradually gained real power, he was dissatisfied with the status quo, and his desires became more and more inflated. He began to win over officials, use his power, cooperate with officials and businessmen, and continue to use power for personal gain.

The former mayor and Qi Rui's grandfather, Chen Xiangqu, warned Qi Zeyang several times about this, but due to the love of Weng and his son-in-law, Mr. Chen still did not report him in the end.With strength and status, Qi Zeyang hated his father-in-law's repeated meddling with him for a long time, so he seized the opportunity to set up a huge situation, and bit back, successfully framed Mayor Chen into a prisoner.

Speaking of this, Qi Rui stopped and asked me: "Do you want to ask why my mother's bloody clothes are in my hands? Why didn't I report on Qi Zeyang even though I had video evidence?"

I nodded immediately, and Qi Rui lit another cigarette and took a puff: "About 15 years ago, the Huangjiang police circle has had the surname Qi, Qi Zeyang's Qi."

In the wisp of rising smoke, I seemed to have entered Qi Rui's memory, and rushed down to the attic with that young man madly, kneeling beside his mother, wanting to cry without tears, his whole chest hurting like being crushed .

The dying Chen Wanhua opened her eyes slightly, and she saw Qi Rui and Qi Feng.

In an instant, there was a hint of gentleness in the pair of pupils that were gradually dilated. She had almost no strength, could not make a sound, and could only make three weak mouth shapes - live, down, go...

Qi Feng also knelt down beside Chen Wanhua. He kowtowed heavily to his mother three times, expressing his endless apologies, and promised to take good care of Qi Rui and ruin Qi Zeyang's reputation and pay the due price.

Chen Wanhua's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a line of crystal tears slipped out of her eyes.

In the end, she closed her eyes forever and left quietly...

After a long period of silence, the young Qi Rui stood up, walked back to the bedroom silently, and took out a snow-white cheongsam from the bottom drawer, which was exactly the same as the one Chen Wanhua was wearing.He took another utility knife from the desk, returned to his mother, and handed the cheongsam to Qi Feng: "This year's mother's birthday, I didn't give her a present, not because I forgot, but because I bought it from you." I bought the same cheongsam, so I didn’t take it out.”

Qi Rui said, and gave Qi Feng the utility knife: "Qi Zeyang dealt with all the traces, but he forgot that the cheongsam on my mother was also stained with his blood. You are right, the Chen family It’s down, the current Huangjiang is Qi Zeyang’s Huangjiang, and this evidence must not fall into the hands of the police.”

Qi Rui wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and continued: "In order not to arouse suspicion, I will use your and my blood to forge another bloody coat. Qi Zeyang will definitely try his best to simplify the process of handling the case. The police under him We will never do anything unnecessary to test the clothes worn by the deceased. We must preserve this physical evidence, wait for the opportunity, and then reverse the case for my mother."

There was surprise in Qi Feng's eyes, he was just like me now, shocked by the speed of Qi Rui's growth.

At first, this young man was not as calm and rational as his elder brother, but once he suppressed and forbeared into the dust, a flower of tenacity bloomed in his heart full of holes.

Like a bystander who traveled through time and space, I feel the pain of the loss of the mother of these two brothers.Together they changed Chen Wanhua's bloody cheongsam and put on another identical one for her.They cut open their arms one by one with a utility knife, and the blood spilled out, dripping and staining Chen Wanhua's cheongsam.

After more than ten years of mother-child affection, in this way, the blood from the mother was finally returned to the mother.Qi Rui took Chen Wanhua's cold hand and bid her a final farewell: "Mom, don't worry about us, let's go all the way..."

At that moment, my heart hurt like being twisted.

Qi Rui was in more pain than Qi Feng, because he was born with a sensitive and kind heart, and he touched the hem of love earlier.When cornered, he develops a self-sacrificing determination.

After everything was finished, Qi Rui and Qi Feng all left the house, as if they had never been back.

In the afternoon, Chen Wanhua's body was discovered by the part-time cook who came to the door, and Qi's father and son reunited in the villa again, everyone was grieving on the surface, but they were clearly separated in their hearts.

After the police intervened, they quickly retrieved Chen Wanhua's so-called depression medical history. No one seriously investigated it, and even the investigation and evidence collection were just a formality.Qi Zeyang covered the sky with one hand, covering a piece of blue sky above the Yellow River. Within three days, Chen Wanhua's body was quickly cremated.

The father went to jail, and the daughter committed suicide with hatred.

Since then, the formerly prominent Chen family has been completely defeated.
