eight pm.

Liu Ruhui was mopping the floor, when she heard the doorbell ring, she thought it was Song Zhi who came back at this point.Finally, when she opened the door, she found that the person who came to interview her was something she had never expected in her life——

Zhang Ming.

His son followed behind, holding some gift-like things in a cautious posture.

A trace of astonishment flashed across Liu Ruhui's face, she hurriedly went to the bedroom and called her husband, "Guo Xiao!"

Song Guoxiao came out, and when he saw his former colleague coming to the door, his face changed suddenly.A trace of pain flashed between his brows, he covered his heart with one hand, and supported the wall with the other, his sternum began to throb again.

"Song Guoxiao." Zhang Ming was the first to break the embarrassment.

"I have come to explain in all sincerity."

Liu Ruhui supported her husband's arm and reprimanded, "What are you explaining?"

Zhang Ming was rather puzzled and asked, "You don't know yet?"

He and Zhang Lingze behind him looked at each other.When Song Zhi learned about that incident, he didn't run home crying and tell his parents?

After a long time, Song Guoxiao withdrew his hand resting on the wall and sighed, "Come in and talk."

Zhang Ming walked in, followed closely by Zhang Lingze, and put the gift of cigarettes and wine on the ground at the door: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, I will discuss with Lingze to come and see you."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ming pointed to his heart.

"Acute myocardial infarction."

Zhang Ming did not continue, looking around the living room of their house, he seemed to have developed a strong interest in the family portrait photos on the TV wall, and stopped in front of the shelf: "I remember, when Ru Hui gave birth to her first child, I came to you At home, I have seen Song Xiang."

"At that time, the child was just born and was still wrapped in swaddling clothes... I haven't seen him a few times since then, and it's been so many years..."

Zhang Ming watched Song Xiang transform from a baby into an upright adult, walking on the same path as Song Guoxiao.What is even more breathless is that he also witnessed the last few minutes of Song Xiang's life.

It is impossible to say with emotion.

"sit."

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Liu Ruhui brought water to the coffee table, really not waiting to see their father and son.

Zhang Ming held the glass, brewed it, and said, "Song Zhi visited Ling Ze last night."

When Liu Ruhui heard this, she was very angry: "What do you want to say? It's all thanks to you that our Xiaozhi has become like this, so will he go back to you?"

"It's nothing else, auntie." Zhang Lingze hurriedly explained.

Zhang Ming continued: "Song Zhi asked, was I at the scene of Song Xiang's car accident?"

As soon as this sentence was thrown out, it immediately aroused great fluctuations in the hearts of the husband and wife.

"What did you say?!" Song Guoxiao immediately stood up from the sofa, how could he communicate with him calmly!

"Yes." Zhang Ming looked up at him and clarified for himself: "I was indeed at the scene of the car accident, and I was the one who called 120!"

"Because I recognized that it was Song Xiang." Zhang Ming got emotional and got up from the sofa: "Guo Xiao, no matter how the two of us fought against each other in the office, at least Song Xiang, he also called me uncle . Squeeze him into the car on the side of the road, and I went to help lift him!"

Song Guoxiao looked at him with cold eyes: "What do you mean by this?"

"I want to tell you the real reason for Song Xiang's accident." Zhang Ming drank half a glass of water in one breath, and said slowly: "It's not just revenge on you, it's because Song Xiang... also broke Qin Huai's secret .”

Zhang Ming succeeded in seeing Song Guoxiao's brows become a little dignified, which lasted for a long time.

Qin Huai, the sinister son of the dead, dismissed him from his position and called Cheng Kaizu to take the top spot, literally slapping him in the face!After Song Zhi overturned the case, didn't he still want to continue to investigate the truth?He was willing to tell Song Zhi the answer to the mystery, and he was extremely looking forward to playing something good for Qin Huai.

Song Guoxiao stood like a statue, and the living room was so gloomy that it was almost like thunder and rain.

Zhang Ming wrung his hands together and looked straight at Song Guoxiao: "As for what the secret is, I don't know, but I can be sure that it has something to do with other industries under his control."

"That's all."

Liu Ruhui asked tremblingly, "Why did you tell us this today?"

Zhang Ming had already thought about his speech, he stepped forward and patted his former colleague on the shoulder: "The two children's nonsense back then is over."

"Now I come to the door to say this, and I want to reconcile with your family after I see it."

"I can hardly remember what happened ten years ago..."

Ten years ago.

Song Guoxiao found out a case of government officials embezzling funds for outsourcing factory projects, but because the person involved in the case was Qin Huai, a "capable person" who was promoted to the deputy department at a young age, he couldn't handle the relationship between superiors and subordinates.Song Guoxiao was unable to conduct a thorough investigation, so he jumped to apply for an investigation.During the evidence collection, he found that besides the project funds, Qin Huai also had a lot of income from unknown sources in his account.

In order to establish relationships, Qin Huai entrusted Zhang Ming's leadership to return the "favor fee" to Song Guoxiao, and some leading cadres in the city began to greet Song Guoxiao, saying that the people would not sue, the officials would not correct, and there was no need to pursue it further.

Zhang Ming didn't know which side to fall on. He had always stood in line with his leader, and the leader took Qin Huai's benefits.However, Song Guoxiao acted like a stern judge, insisting on justice to the end, saying that he must not allow personal affairs to violate party discipline, otherwise he would be considered a dereliction of duty.

As a result, Song Guoxiao wrote a complete report about Qin Huai and submitted it, which was the version sent by Song Xiang——

Qin Huai's incident aroused great concern, so he was expelled, and Zhang Ming was raised to defend himself against arrows. The leader, wise and wise, was only severely warned and punished by the party.Song Guoxiao refused all kinds of intercession, and since then he has been valued by the upper-level cadres, and has been promoted all the way to the director of the Supervision Department.

He and Zhang Mingben were the same group of people who were admitted to the institution.Originally, Zhang Ming's name could not be notified to the higher authorities, but Song Guoxiao's dead-headed, uncompromising seriousness is like the phrase hanging on the wall of their agency, "If the country lives and dies for the benefit of the country, don't avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings." Like a plaque, the words are engraved on it, rigorous and rigid.

So Zhang Ming was dismissed from his post, with a bright future and nowhere to be found.Zhang Ming's wife was also in labor at the time—Zhang Lingze was supposed to have a sister.

She was affected and the child was aborted.Later, she became pregnant with Zhang Lingze, but she also fell ill.Afterwards, he fell ill and died not long after.

Recalling this, Zhang Ming suddenly realized that his life was indeed exactly the same as that bastard Cheng Kaizu said.

No stand!

Whoever is in front of him, he will follow.

If you don't have your own ideas, you really can't do big things.

Zhang Ming sighed, and continued: "I helped Qin Huai intercede with you back then, and later Qin Huai was willing to ask me to work with him. His investment company has just started, and I'm still worrying about how to get the position of deputy director. , he sent me to a place."

"He said he was asking me to find a document."

All three listened in silence.

"I didn't know anything happened to Song Xiang until I arrived at the scene. I don't know what documents Qin Huai is looking for."

"However, in your Song Xiang's clothes..." He paused.

That night, he drove to the national highway, and saw Song Guoxiao's eldest son squeezed between the car and the cliff with his mouth full of blood, his chin and chest covered in blood, and his internal organs were spitting out.Zhang Ming saw that he must be dying. He was dialing 120 when he heard Song Xiang call him angrily: "Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Ming quickly comforted: "Don't talk, the ambulance will come soon, I will call you!"

Song Xiangxing probably also knew that he couldn't survive, so he reached into his pocket, took out a piece of paper, and began to explain the funeral: "Can you give it to my dad..."

Zhang Ming suddenly lowered his voice, not daring to look at Song Guoxiao again: "That piece of paper... I gave it to Qin Huai."

"There is an address on it." Zhang Ming said, "I have never been there."

"But I never dared to forget."

He took out a notepad from his coat pocket, wrote on it long ago, tore it off, and handed it to Song Guoxiao.

The husband and wife choked up for a moment.Two years have passed, and this matter has been brought up again and again, like an old scar in my heart being picked open, and it will never be healed.

"Before Song Xiang died, he kept shouting 'paper'."

"Not shouting 'know'."

"The traffic policeman was standing next to me at the time. He didn't see the piece of paper. After checking the household registration book, he saw that my brother's name was Song Zhi, so he misunderstood it."

"You also misunderstood..."

Liu Ruhui couldn't restrain the grief that was churning in her heart, and almost fainted.

"Ah... ah!" She punched her husband twice in hatred.

When she married Song Guoxiao, she should have known that if the discipline inspection cadre offended someone, the whole family would suffer retaliation!That's how her miserable life came about, and it's all here!

"Why did I just marry you...!"

Before Zhang Lingze left their house, he really wanted to ask Song Zhi about his eye injury, after all, he was seriously injured that day.It wasn't Song Zhi who beat him up, so he could explain to the police, but he felt really guilty for leaving Song Zhi alone.

Seeing the husband and wife, one crying out in grief and the other turning livid, Zhang Lingze finally stopped talking.He guessed that Song Zhi hadn't come home yet, otherwise he wouldn't have come out after hearing such noise.

Indeed, when Zhang Ming just arrived at the door of Song's house, Song Zhi, who was far away on the third ring road, was still walking slowly towards home.

A black car approached from behind and stopped slowly beside him.

The car window was lowered, and the man's face appeared from inside: "I'll see you off."

From the window of the bedroom, Fang Chengyan saw how Song Zhi was waiting at the corner of the street in dismay - several brothers drove past him quickly in a taxi, and even deviated a little bit from the original route, passing by Song Zhi , As a result, the latter didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't look up at them from the beginning to the end, causing several empty cars to leave.

After standing in the cold wind for more than ten minutes, I finally chose to walk home willfully.

Fang Chengyan didn't even wear a coat, but was wearing a shirt. Under the doubtful gazes of his family members, he hurried out.

Song Zhi is still walking.

The cold wind made him pale, and his chin showed a stubborn and decisive look, pretending that he couldn't hear the man's words.

Fang Chengyan knew that Song Zhi would not be obedient, so he got out of the car, stepped forward, grabbed Song Zhi's knees and back, hugged him horizontally, and strode back to the passenger.

The other party suddenly reacted, thumped in his arms, and cursed: "Get lost!"

"Fuck! How dare you have face!"

He kicked his legs wildly, straightened his waist, and wanted to go down: "Release!"

Fang Chengyan hugged him tightly, regardless of the struggle of the person in his arms, opened the car door, forced him into the passenger seat, and fastened the seat belt.

Then bypass the front of the car and come to the main driver.

On the seat where the warm air blows directly in the car, Song Zhi's tears began to trickle down.

Song Zhi had no idea how long it took from Fang's big villa on the third ring road to the first ring road.

He was so angry that his forehead, eyes, and tip of his nose were all red, his face was unconvinced, and tears fell intermittently.

Tears were already streaming down his face, but he just held on and didn't make a sound.

Finally, when the car arrived at the door, Song Zhi unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.

He swore that this was the last time he would ride in Fang Chengyan's car.

Fang Chengyan can say so happily to sever the relationship.

He can too.

Song Zhi walked into the gate of the community without looking back.
