Chapter 108: Why is she coming to you again?

Hong Sha is a very smart person, he will not just tell Yu He everything he knows.

A felon sentenced to life imprisonment, it's hard to believe Yu He has the skills to get him out.

He wanted Yu He to give him a little proof first.

Yu He had expected this, Hong Sha is not stupid, there is no reason to give him clues easily. But Yu He is also not a light, Hong Sha does not trust him, and he is not completely sure that Hong Sha is not blackmailing him, maybe this person's mouth has no useful information, purely to catch his fish.

Yu He then smiled and said, "I can show you my sincerity, but I'm afraid Mr. Sha has to give me some reliable material first, right?"

Hong Sha chewed on his cigarette and smoked for a while. When a cigarette was almost smoked, and the time of their meeting was almost over, Hong Sha got up and said to Yu He when the correctional officer came to take him back: "I think the Lanpei Jiang in the picture is not the real Lanpei Jiang. "

"What Mr. Shah means is ......"

Hong Sha smiled wryly: "Boy, I've seen you on the news, and I know you've met Lanpei Jiang in person. If you've been up close and personal with her, then think back to her whole face, wasn't it a little stiff."

He stopped here and did not speak further, but gave Yu He a meaningful look and disappeared into the depths of the aisle in heavy shackles, accompanied by the correctional officers.

Hong Sha, who was behind bars, fully described Lanpei Jiang's face at the time.

Yu He, who is a meticulous person in some ways, did notice at the time that Lanpei Jiang's facial muscles were actually problematic, as if he couldn't make any overly exaggerated expressions.

But the situation was so precarious that he had no time to observe and cross-examine so much, and when he heard Hong Sha say so, he immediately confirmed that Hong Sha was not lying, and that there was indeed something in this man's stomach that was worth the risk.

So, a week later, Hong Sha in the prison factory to move scrap iron to do heavy work task is over, was transferred to the factory sewing to foreign trade single buttons.

After a few more days, he will not be asked to do the button sewing job and will simply be asked to go to the canteen to share the food with everyone.

This is a dream job for the felons, not to mention less work and less effort, and they can also use their position to eat the largest pieces of fish and meat every day, and their fellow inmates are all eager to be in touch, hoping that when they meet at the lunch window, Hong Sha can give them more good food.

After some time like this, it was time for the prison medical examination.

A few weeks before medical exam day, Hong Sha received a wax-sealed note from a fellow inmate, which, when crushed, had a very simple line written on it-

"If you're already convinced, I'll be coming in this weekend to ask you something more specific. As soon as I get the information I want, your medical results will fully satisfy the conditions for medical parole."

The signature is very simple, just a word "He".

At last, Hong Sha agreed to accept Yu He's second "pick-up".

Their meeting was scheduled for a weekend at 7:00 pm. The day before the meeting, Hong Sha sat at a small table in the prison and made an outline, in very concise language, of what he wanted to tell Yu He tomorrow.

He knew that this meeting was very important to him and he had to give Yu He some valuable information so that Yu He would be satisfied.

But at the same time, he did not intend to give out all the most important things in this one time, so that Yu He would not fail to fulfill his promise of "medical parole" after using him.

Hong Sha scribbled on the paper, repeatedly deleting information, and finally he was satisfied and put the paper into his pocket, going to bed at the sound of the lights out whistle.

Perhaps the end of his prison sentence was just around the corner, or perhaps he had too many memories of the past before he went to sleep, and this night, Hong Sha suddenly had a dream in the hard bed where he had been lying for more than ten years -

"Hahahahahaha, this business deal is done, our brother and I will be rich in the future."

In the dream, Jicheng Liang is still the same as he was more than 20 years ago, when he and Zhongkang Liang came out of a luxury hotel on the Bund, both half-drunk and half-awake.

"It's amazing, the other side is big, once the contract is signed, fuck, directly transferred such a large amount of foreign currency to our Swiss account, without blinking. Brother, I have never seen so much money in my life. Not to mention hiding some people and organs for them, even if it's--"

Jicheng Liang didn't finish the rest of his sentence, snoring it in his mouth in a mushy way.

Because his drowsy eyes were focused on Hong Sha.

Xiao Liang boss burped, and his brother glanced at each other, smiling - they both know very well that such things that can not be on stage, in front of the driver, or have to say less.

"Mr. Liang, Mr. Xiao Liang, come, I'll help you two to get into the car."

Jicheng Liang waved his hand away in disgust: "What are you doing? Watch out, do you know what I'm wearing? The tag has not even been removed yet, and you will compensate me if it gets dirty?"

In fact, 90,000 Gucci winter cashmere coat is just ordinary ready-made clothes, and not high luxury custom, but in the Liang brothers at the time, it was already a very extravagant and expensive treasures. The private psychiatric hospital they operated at that time could not make ends meet and was on the verge of bankruptcy several times.

However -

Zhongkang Liang laughed loudly and patted his brother's shoulder: "What is this? The stars they work for are worth a fucking million dollars a dress, what's 90,000 dollars to work for them?"

"Yes, brother, I'm really drunk, 90,000 yuan later for me, not enough to plug the teeth. Hey, watch it, what are you doing?" The drunken man accidentally tripped over himself when he was helped into the car by Hong Sha.

But he was in a blur and thought it was Hong Sha's fault, so he raised his hand and slapped Hong Sha on the face.

"Watch the road! How to serve people! Can't even hold your master steady, watch out I'll fire you!"

"You hit him for what? He is just a rural, full of salty fish smell, you beat him, the car still need to take alcohol tablets to wipe, a poison." When the brother's speech is meaner than the younger brother, Zhongkang Liang laughing loudly, smugly looking at Hong Sha, "People are fucking inferior, some people have a wave of the hand is tens of millions of hundreds of millions, some people are ...... haha. "

Hong Sha was so angry that he let go of the hand holding the two brothers: "People and people should be equal. You are my boss, you can't humiliate my character, can you?"

"Equality for all? This is Huzhou. Do you know what Huzhou was like 100 years ago? On this side of the river, there were a lot of lights and wine, but on the other side of the river, there were starving people everywhere. You and I go back a hundred years, you are a yellow cab driver, I want to beat you to death, and you still come to talk to me about equality?"

Hong Sha was about to argue again, Zhongkang Liang took out a thick money folder from his pocket, pulled out a large stack of 100 yuan bills, on his stiff face: "Don't be so idealistic young man, you want to talk to us about equality, right? Come on, let you know what equality means, heard the personnel said your mother is sick, urgent need of money, I slap you, give you a thousand, I have plenty of money today, do you want? Huh? Do you want it or not!"

The fishy, filthy, yet unmistakably confusing paper slapped hard against his stiffly muscled cheek.

Thin banknotes, but like a thousand pounds, smashing people's bones are broken, the face have become a bloody mud and ash.

Hong Sha remembers when the wind blew on the Bund, and thin 100 yuan bills flew in the sky, causing an uproar and scramble among the latecomers.

He stood in the cold wind, he forgot whether he had fallen on his knees and cried after the scattered money, it was strange, his memory is obviously very good.

But it just doesn't come to mind.

Perhaps it is the memory that also feels shame, when man has to fall into the beast, the human brain will also be ashamed to admit those absurd past.

Hong Sha just remember the Liang brothers that two villainous, open and fierce smile face.

"Hahahaha ...... hahahahaha ......"

And the laughter, swirling like a mad swirl in the memories.

He remembered well the date, the address, and the apprehensive look on their faces before they drove to the appointed place, where the brothers had whispered the names of several people in the car.

Hong Sha is a driver, and drivers are people, and he remembers those names without a word.

-- those few names that will likely please Yu He.

.

Sunday morning.

Yu He got up early and drove to Strange Rain Lane.

He was going to see Hong Sha today, and after thinking about it, he decided to tell Qingcheng Xie about it.

Before he could get out of the car, however, he saw Ruoqiu Li walking out of the alley accompanied by Qingcheng Xie.

Ruoqiu Li has not been seen for some time since that awkward encounter on New Year's Eve, and for some reason he is back here today.

Yu He thinks this woman is really strange, obviously already divorced, still stalking people why? How capable is she to take the man he likes as her spare tire?

"You stay, no need to send, I'll take a taxi."

"I've called the car for you."

"Then ......" Ruoqiu Li took out an envelope from her luxury satchel, it was quite thick and at a glance, she knew there was a lot of money inside, she handed the envelope to Qingcheng Xie, "Then you can keep this. Xue Xiao used to be very good to me, she suddenly got sick, I can't help much, this money ......"

"You take this money back."

Ruoqiu Li : "...... her, she is at least my sister-in-law ......"

"Not anymore."

"Brother Xie ......"

"You go back. I appreciate that you care about her. But we can't take this money."

The woman tilted her head in a daze and stared at him for a while, then said, "Brother, you don't have to misunderstand me, I didn't mean that, it's just ...... just that I've experienced something now and understand a lot of things. I know I spent a lot of money on you at first, and you, all that care you gave me, I don't know how to return it to you, so I--"

"You used to be my wife. You have also considered many things for me." Qingcheng Xie interrupted her words, her eyes very still, like two pools of darkness.

"So, those are the things I should do."

Ruoqiu Li stared at him, and she looked like she was about to cry again.

"...... Thank you brother, I, I already plan to divorce him."

"......"

She said this to him without a head.

She then tried to find a reaction on Qingcheng Xie's face, only to be disappointed.

Ruoqiu Li's voice began to be choked with vines: "...... I this person, you also know, I can not stand people do not love me, I divorced you at that time, I just think, you are so calm every day, so cold, in only the two of us, I want some warmth The response you gave me was also very mechanical, without much desire ...... I was particularly aggrieved in my heart at that time, you know?"

"......"

"I feel like you are like a schedule, one thing you arrange clearly, I try hard to dig something soft and passionate from your heart, but I can't. You take care of me, protect me, and give me a home, but you don't seem to treat me as your wife. You don't like me to cook and wash your clothes, you don't want me to give too much to you - but I think love is a two-way street, and the more you are like this, the more upset I am, and I feel that if this continues, it will always be me who owes you."

Qingcheng Xie sighed: "As I said, you also made a lot of sacrifices and concessions for my choice, and - at that time you were my wife, and those were the things I should have done."

"But you were my husband then too, so why can't I take care of you too?"

Qingcheng Xie was speechless.

Ruoqiu Li looked at him with red eyes: "Brother, you only let others accept your care and guidance, but never refused to accept the half-heartedness of others. I was really driven crazy by you at that time. I never thought before there that one person's 'goodness' could be a heavy stone that crushes another person's heart."

"I want love so badly, I want someone who will love me equally and allow me to take care of him and protect him in the same way. For that reason anything I was willing to do, right or wrong. I ...... thought I had found true love when I found that person, but which thought ......"

She let out a bitter laugh, bowed her head and wiped her tears.

"I am now really confused, brother Xie, maybe I think of love too perfect ...... maybe no responsibility for love, even if married, received a certificate, but also just a windfall that left a mark, and that's all."

Qingcheng Xie did not speak.

Ruoqiu Li dried her tears, tilted her head and asked him, "Can you accept this money from me? Even if you see this act as a last bit of comfort for me? Or ...... forgiveness?"

"...... I'm sorry." Qingcheng Xie finally said, "I can't."

"......" Ruoqiu Li laughed softly as if he had expected it.

The smile was still tear-stained, like crying.

The taxi Qingcheng Xie called for her came.

He opened the car door for her, as he had done before, habitually, very macho and very caring.

His peachy eyes looked into her teary ones, "Get in. Thank you for making a point of coming to care about her situation, I ......"

He didn't finish the last bit because Ruoqiu Li couldn't hold down the complicated feelings in his heart anymore and couldn't hold down his sorrow.

She suddenly reached out and suddenly wrapped her arms around his waist in the cold morning breeze.

Shoulders trembling, finally tears like rain.

"Thank you brother ...... sorry ......"

"......"

"I'm sorry ...... will you hug me? It's the last time, I'm really extra special over ...... me ...... me ......"

Qingcheng Xie is not good for a girl to be angry, not to mention she is crying so sad.

Ruoqiu Li had betrayed him, but once she had done something that he was very grateful for, something that he still remembers and is unlikely to forget.

So when I saw her like this, Qingcheng Xie didn't know what to do for a while. I can only say: " Ruoqiu Li, you calm down, you do this is very inappropriate, the car is here, you get in."

Ruoqiu Li, however, hugged him and did not let go, she really suffered too much, this moment she hugged him, deep inside she hoped that all the past did not happen, she is still his wife, can be unrestrained to embrace their husband.

She was completely unaware that Yu He was holding the steering wheel in a car not far away and looking out through the windshield.

And she wrapped her arms around Qingcheng Xie's waist, hugging him and crying about ...... all of this, all of it, has been completely -

Reflected in the boy's dark eyes.
