He Xionghui pulled out his chair and sat down, looking around.

It has been more than a year, and nothing has changed here. I thought I would never come to this place again in my life.

"Thank you for coming." Xiang Hai said.

He was quite surprised, because He Xionghui refused very simply on the phone before.

He Xionghui withdrew his gaze, and said "ah", which was regarded as a greeting.

He himself was quite surprised, he couldn't tell, why did he come again?

"Where's Xing Yue?" He felt that he should have come here to see how bad that stupid policeman is now.

"He's not here." Xiang Hai said.

He Xionghui said "Oh" again, and leaned back in the chair with a generous body, "How did you know Zhu Ke?"

He was shocked when he suddenly received a call from Xiang Hai that day, and even more shocked when he heard Zhu Ke mentioned.At that time, because of school affairs, I had just had a talk with that little girl, and her blood pressure was high, so I hung up the phone immediately.

"I don't know her, but her head teacher is my friend."

He Xionghui frowned, stroked the blue stubble on his chin, and tried hard to remember the female teacher named Qu Wei.He didn't know how the two met, and he didn't care, and he didn't bother to ask why the class teacher mentioned Zhu Ke to Xiang Hai.

"Tell me, why do you want me?"

"I want..." Xiang Hai gently rubbed his hands, "I want to know more about Zhu Ke's situation."

"What?"

"I think she might be in some trouble."

"Trouble?" He Xionghui stared, "Did her classmates bully her? Or is the school going to punish her?"

"Not that kind of trouble."

"Then what do you mean?"

"She is not very happy, I thought, maybe I can help her." Xiang Hai pointed out directly.

"Unhappy??" He Xionghui tilted his head and threw himself on the table, "Who told you she was unhappy?"

"That teacher?" He thought it was ridiculous, "Why did she tell you, why didn't she tell me?"

"No, why is Zhu Ke unhappy?" The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he didn't give Xiang Hai time to explain, "I provide her with delicious food and drink, and I have to manage enough pocket money. I take her out for fun during the winter and summer vacations. My daughter-in-law dotes on her more than I do, and my son is like her brother and sister, why is she unhappy? Why are you unhappy...No, why do you say she is unhappy? "

Like a machine gun, He Xionghui unleashed full firepower and shot Xiang Hai, Qu Wei and even the whole school.

Xiang Hai didn't speak, and let him get mad.Wait for this arrogance to subside and gradually calm down before speaking.

"Some time ago, when the weather was just getting hot, Zhu Ke probably was greedy for the coolness once. After school, Zhu Ke ate a lot of ice cream and didn't eat dinner afterwards. As a result, his stomach started to hurt when it was evening self-study."

Xiang Hai spoke slowly, He Xionghui frowned and listened.

"But the child didn't say anything, just stood upright, neither told the classmates, nor asked the teacher for leave. Until the end of the evening self-study, the classmates all left. I was sweating, my lips were white, and my body was hunched, and I realized that something was wrong. I asked her what was wrong, and after several times, she said that her stomach hurts."

"Qu Wei took her to the infirmary and wanted to call you, but she refused, saying don't bother."

He Xionghui clenched his hands until his knuckles turned white.

"At that time, Qu Wei thought she didn't want to bother herself, so she said that it would be no trouble to make a phone call. But Zhu Ke said, it's no big deal, just eat cold food and take some medicine. You are very busy, He raised his eyes and looked opposite, "Don't bother you."

He Xionghui slammed his fist on the table with a "bang", "What the hell is wrong with this!"

"What's this little girl thinking? If you don't ask me for this kind of thing, who can I turn to? How many times have I told her, just call me if you have anything to do at school!"

"I think... I can understand her mood." Xiang Hai pursed his lips slightly, "She doesn't want to cause trouble for you and your family."

"Fuck, what's yours and mine? She's not from this family? I don't treat her as a family member? It's been so many years, why does she still think so?" He Xionghui felt a little annoyed, and reached out to touch a cigarette in his pocket, remembering It had already been taken away before he came in, so he withdrew his hand again.

Xiang Hai couldn't answer his question, so he continued.

"Another time, in the spring, my classmates picked up a little bird under a tree in the school. It had just hatched. It probably fell out of the nest, with drooping wings, and was quite injured. sharp."

"At that time, those classmates watched it for a long time, and no one knew how to do it, and they couldn't do it. The bird was too small, and it was so badly injured. It would definitely not survive, so they put it back in the grass."

"As a result, Zhu Ke picked it up and brought it back to the dormitory. After tossing and tossing all night, feeding water and feeding, but before dawn, the bird still died."

He Xionghui turned his face to one side, rubbing his chin roughly.

"The next day Qu Wei found that she was in a bad mood and was bored all morning, so she called her to the office when school was over at noon and asked her what was wrong."

"The little girl must have been depressed for too long. When she asked this question, she suddenly cried."

"Qu Wei said that she was terrified at the time, thinking that something serious had happened, because she had never seen Zhu Ke cry before."

He Xionghui also turned his head, looking surprised.He never saw Zhu Ke cry, even when he brought her to see Zhu Haoyang, she never cried in that kind of scene.

"Zhu Ke was crying and said that the little bird died, and she buried it under the tree it fell from."

"Qu Wei said that she was relieved at that time. After all, nothing major happened, so she comforted her and said, natural selection, maybe it is too weak, there is no way. You have tried your best, you have already Take good care of it and don't get too upset."

"But Zhu Ke cried even harder, saying, it's so small, why didn't its parents take good care of it? Why did they let it fall out of the nest? And when it fell, it just fell off. Didn't they come to look for it? .”

He Xionghui was silent.Only then did he understand what Xiang Hai meant by "unhappy" before.

Xiang Hai breathed out lightly, and continued, "Qu Wei said that she could see that Zhu Ke was actually a kind-hearted child, but he was always stubborn and cold. She really wanted to help her, and she also wanted to talk to her several times. She had a good chat, but the child didn't cooperate, and closed herself to death. That's why I said maybe I can help, so I came to discuss with you. "

He Xionghui lowered his head slightly, flicked his fingers back and forth, and remained silent for a long time before speaking, "Have you met Zhu Haoyang?"

"I've seen it, but I haven't spoken to it," Xiang Hai said.

"That year, he, my dad, and Yuan Jie and the others came in front and back."

"Because I was injured, I stayed in the hospital for a long time before I came in. Later, his wife divorced him and threw Zhu Ke to his grandparents, but the old couple passed away within two years. Then my dad asked me to take him with him. She. At that time, she was only...five or six years old, I remember that she hadn't been in elementary school yet, and I wasn't married yet."

"I really like that child. Before the accident, Zhu Haoyang doted on her very much. He wished he could hold her in his hand every day."

"Later, I got married and had a child. My whole family liked her, and we never treated her as an outsider."

He scratched his head in boredom, "Oh, maybe I'm just a fucking rough person."

"Later, Zhu Ke got a little older, so I brought her to see Hao Yang."

"At the beginning, when I heard that I was going to see my father, she was quite happy, jumping up and down. Seeing her face, I still remember, she was stunned for a while."

"Hao Yang's whole person has changed, his hair has disappeared, he has lost a lot of weight, and there is such a long scar on his neck. Most importantly, he can't speak."

"At that time, Zhu Ke was just sitting like that, with his eyes wide open, like a fool. Hao Yang felt uncomfortable when he saw her. He called her by her name, but he opened his mouth and there was no sound at all. I just pushed Zhu Ke. , and asked her to call her Papa. But the child was tense, as if a string was about to break, and then suddenly jumped off the chair and ran away by himself."

"At that time, Haoyang cried immediately. Tell me not to bring her here again, let her forget about him as a dumb father, and also said please let me raise her well."

"He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. My dad always wanted to get him out soon after he came out. But he still didn't want to, so he said it's good to stay here."

Speaking of this, He Xionghui became quiet again, this time for a longer time.

"I also know that no matter how good I treat her, I can't replace Zhu Haoyang. Blood is thicker than water, and a father is a father." He lowered his head, "Later, two years later, I also asked Zhu Ke several times, Do you want to visit her father, but she kept saying no, and I didn't ask any more afterwards."

He looked up at Xiang Hai, "Do you think she wants to come and see her dad?"

"What do you think?" Xiang Hai asked back.

He Xionghui shook his head, "I can't tell."

Xiang Hai thought for a while, "If it were me, I would want to come. If I were Zhu Haoyang, I hope to see her again."

"But... two people are waiting for the other to take this step first."

Fearing that the only family member would be hurt again because of his abruptness, they all chose to suppress their own thoughts and wait for the arrival of a time that is far away.

"You're so right!" He Xionghui slapped his thigh fiercely, "Zhu Haoyang is just a fucking big sycophant! His girl was with him, a pair of fucking sycophants!"

Xiang Hai smiled, "Then it's okay to be so sycophantic, I have to help them."

"I'm at a loss." He Xionghui looked at him, "Just now you said, you have a solution?"

"I have some ideas, which may not be possible." Xiang Hai also watched, "But I have to try."

"Okay! What are your plans, I will absolutely cooperate!"

Kong Jie's childhood was almost accompanied by the sound of shuffling the cards.

When I was a child, my family opened a small supermarket near the school. We can’t talk about being rich, but if we manage it carefully, we can achieve a well-off life.

Helplessly, the couple, father and mother of Kong, have a common hobby, which is playing mahjong.

Get up early and stay late, forget to eat and sleep, fight when you have time, and fight when you have time.Fight if you have money, and fight if you don't have money to borrow.

Therefore, as long as Kong Jie can remember, he often lies on the counter alone, pressing the calculator while collecting money, and taking time to do two homework.

Most of the people who come and go are students and parents, and there are many familiar faces.At the beginning, when he saw his classmates, he wanted to run out to play with him. As he got older, he settled down and did his homework. Later, he told his parents that he didn't want to see the counter anymore.

"What else do you want to do if you don't look at the store? Go out and go wild?" Parents scolded him while drawing cards, "Hurry up and go back."

He has a sharp mind and quick hands and feet, but his personality is a little listless.After being scolded by my parents, I came back with my head drooping and continued to settle accounts on the counter.

In this way, the life of their family became poorer and poorer, and the quarrel between the couple became louder and louder.If you don't understand the quarrel, just hit it, enough, wipe off the blood on your face, scrape off the change in the cash register, and continue to go out to rub the hemp.

In a blink of an eye, Kong Jie entered high school with average grades, neither good nor bad.In the words of the teacher at the time, "If you work harder, it will be easy to raise a few points, and the second should not be a big problem."

Apart from ball games, the main entertainment for boys in that era was basically playing games.It's not an online game, it's an arcade machine in a game hall lined up on the side of the road.

Kong Jie didn't have extra pocket money to afford this kind of happiness, but his hands were also itchy.So he saved up the leftover cardboard boxes from the supermarket at home, made enough piles, and used the delivery tricycle to pull them to a farther and higher-priced waste collection station to sell, and the money from the sale was deducted and handed over to his parents Yes, I still have some left.

Later, he discovered another business opportunity, which was to recycle the textbooks, notes, papers, and exercise books of the graduating class. The price was slightly higher than the normal selling price of waste paper, and then picked out the good ones and sold them to the students in need.The rest that cannot be sold can be sold as waste paper, which is also an income.

In this way, he can also take time to play games while looking at the store.

At that time, a high-tech electronic product, Wenquxing, became popular among students.

In the era when there were no mobile phones and no Internet, this kind of high-end product that integrates electronic dictionaries, calculators, address books, small games, etc., is simply not too cool!

This kind of learning "weapon" is becoming more and more popular, but not everyone has it.For example, Kong Jie did not.

No, no, he never expected it.For parents who can delay his tuition for half a semester, go ask for money to buy Wenquxing?Stop it.

So I was greedy, so I borrowed from my classmates and clicked a few times to have a good time.

One day between classes, he borrowed a classmate's Wenquxing to play, fiddled with it for a while, and then returned it.Coincidentally, the classmate was not in the seat, so he threw it on that person's desk and ran out to use the bathroom.

As a result, in the next class, that classmate's Wenquxing could not be found.

As the last one to deal with, and the only one in the class without a Wenqu star, Kong Jie couldn't argue with anything.

He sat down amidst the cursing voices of his classmates and dozens of piercing gazes, as if he was sitting on a needle board.

Unexpectedly, the missing Wenquxing was found again later.Probably accidentally bumped into it while packing up the textbooks, and slipped into the clothes and hats that the classmates at the front desk put on the back of the chair.

Everyone laughed, but no one apologized to Kong Jie.

At this time, I don't know what happened, this "sluggish person" who usually has no sense of existence, this little classmate who is lying on the counter to settle accounts every day, jumped up "crazyly" and went to grab the Wenquxing who had just been lost and recovered. He fell to the ground and stomped hard a few times.

The high-end goods were broken into slag.

Wen Quxing's owner was dumbfounded. Before he could react, Kong Jie threw him on the ground and punched him hard on the head several times.

Disturbing the classroom order, destroying other people's property, and beating people, that's okay!

While the school ordered him to conduct a deep self-criticism, he was asked to invite his parents to discuss the issue of compensation for the damaged items and the medical expenses of the injured classmates.

So on that sunny afternoon, Kong Jie ran home, emptied all the books in his schoolbag, grabbed a few clothes and stuffed them in, went to the store to empty out the cash register, and filled two bottles of water and two bag of bread, and then left that home, and also the hometown.

Ever since Xing Yue agreed to work on the "big cause" together, a blueprint has spread out in Kong Jie's head, so brilliant that even dreams are embedded with colored diamonds.

Not long after, he came with the project proposal for the first issue.

"Look, brother, I think we can do this."

In the dead of night, Kong Jie pulled a small bench and sat next to Xing Yue's bed, and shared with his partner his wealth-making experience.

"When we go out, let's rent a luxury car, at least the level of Bentley. Then you dress up sleekly, and I will be your driver."

"Let's do a good job in advance, looking for those lonely | young | women who are rich, or middle-aged rich women."

Xing Yue listened expressionlessly.

"After I have figured out their daily itinerary, I will look for an opportunity to cause a traffic accident."

"When the woman in the car gets out of the car, I will quarrel with her. When her fire is heated up, you get out of the car again, and scold me for being rude with the strength of a domineering president. How can you be so rude to such a beautiful lady? Hurry up and apologize. I humbly say, yes, young master."

"..."

"Under normal circumstances, you've already forgiven half of it when you got off the bus. If you do this again, huh!" Kong Jie smacked his lips, as if he had eaten a piece of hot fat, "Then you call someone Come to repair the car, and then you drive our luxury car to take her home, and then naturally ask for contact information, and say to transfer the money for the car repair to her."

"I don't need to go into details later. Anyway, once you come and go, you will hook up well. At that time, you will say that the capital turnover of the business is not enough, and you will worry. She will definitely take the initiative to lend you money. Don't rush to ask for it. Just say you can't spend a woman's money, let alone a woman like you."

"..."

"The more you say no, the more she will definitely want to give it. When the fire is almost ready, you..."

"You fucking shut up." Xing Yue couldn't listen anymore, "This is the big business you figured out? What the hell do you think of me?"

Seeing that Xing Yue was not happy, Kong Jie was not in a hurry.Because he still has PlanB, PlanC, D, E, F, G...

"Then how about this. Let's find a reliable big beauty, and then touch a rich and corrupt official to set him up. When the two get together, we will rush in and take pictures. This kind of person is blackmailed I dare not make a sound."

Xing Yue became more and more speechless, "Where can you find reliable beauties?"

Kong Jie tore the fur on his lips because of the big business, "Well, you, is your wife idle?"

"Don't worry, we won't come really..."

"roll!!!"

"Tsk." Kong Jie frowned, "Then take a look at this."

"I can make fake certificates, fake seals, and fake documents. Let's form a 'Ethnic Assets Unfreezing Committee'. You will be the chairman of the committee, and I will be the head of the preparatory team."

"Just say that you are a descendant of Qianlong. The treasures hidden in the dragon veins of the ancestors were all deposited in the safes of foreign banks before Puyi abdicated. They are the property of our nation and must be returned to the hands of the people."

"But the problem is that these treasures have been frozen by foreigners for too long now, and they need to pay an unfreezing fee. So we..."

Xing Yue gestured for him to stop quickly.Because every word he said was a serious insult to his IQ.

"Is this what you want to do?"

"Ah, this, isn't this big enough?"

Xing Yue bit his lower lip, "Aren't you just playing tricks enough? Wouldn't it be hard not to trick you?"

"Hey, brother, you can't say that." Kong Jie was still a little unhappy, "Spoofing is also a skill, not everyone can come."

Xing Yue tried his best to be patient, "Then let me ask you, what is your purpose for making these trivial matters?"

"Make money!"

"I'll give you [-] million now, and you spend it here now, and I'll see how you spend it!"

"I make money for my son, I leave it for him to spend!"

"You think you're smart, don't you? Do you think the police are all dry? Let me ask you, how much money have you made for your son so far? How many days have you stayed by his side? You are fucking in jail How long did you stay?"

Kong Jie was stunned for a moment, and then pulled his face down, "Anyway, as long as I can succeed once in the end, I will make money, and my son will not have to worry about it for the rest of his life."

Xing Yue's patience was exhausted, and he raised his hand to push him away, "All right, do what you fucking like, anyway, don't ask me for these bad things, I'm not interested."

Kong Jie stood up, still a little unwilling to give up, muttering, "You won't be able to be a lawyer if you go out."

"If you can't be a lawyer, you can do other things. I have the skills, and I can make money doing anything."

Kong Jie curled his lips and returned to his bed with a somewhat compromised attitude, "Then I'll think about it."

Xing Yue ignored him, put on the blindfold, and poured himself into the pillow.

Bacon once said, "Life is like a road. The shortest shortcut is usually the worst."

But inertia always tries to lead people to shortcuts.

People who are used to taking shortcuts are short-circuited even in their brains, so they can't see that not far away is a desperate situation.

Xing Yue also felt that there was nothing he could do about Kong Jie's habitual thinking, he wouldn't be able to turn around after a few curses and a beating.

At first, his plan was to use the pretext of "doing big things" with the partnership to lead the topic of entrepreneurship to the "gun", and then trick him a little bit, and finally bring him, who slipped through the net, to justice.

But after getting in touch with Kong Jie, he changed his mind.

Because this is undoubtedly using his thinking of cutting corners to lead him to another dead end.

Kong Jie, who took too many shortcuts, has long been used to getting something for nothing.He thought that making money was the other side, but he had lost his way long ago.

However, Xing Yue felt that this person was not completely hopeless, perhaps only one person was missing to point him the way.

It may be a long and bumpy road, but there will be a bright road in the end.

He doesn't think that he is a good person playing the role of a bright angel. To solve a case is to solve a case, with only one purpose.

There are many ways to achieve the goal, so he also gave up the shortcut.

He always felt that everyone should have a chance to live clearly like a real person.
