Chapter 108: Why is she coming after you again?

Sha Hong is a very smart man, he will not tell He Yu everything he knows in his head.

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

He wants He Yu to give him some proof first.

He Yu had expected this, Sha Hong is not a stupid white sweet, how can he tell him the clues so easily. However, He Yu is not an easy target, Sha Hong doesn't trust him, and he can't be completely sure that Sha Hong is not blackmailing him, maybe there is no useful information in his mouth, and he is just fishing for his fish.

He Yu smiled and said, "I can show you my sincerity, but I'm afraid Mr. Shah will have to give me some reliable material first, won't he?"

Sha Hong chewed on a cigarette and smoked it for a while. When a cigarette was almost smoked, and the meeting between the two was almost over, Sha Hong got up and said to He Yu when the correctional officer came to take him back: "I think the Jiang Lanpei in the photo is not the real Jiang Lanpei. I don't think the photo is the real Jiang Lanpei."

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

Sha Hong smiled wryly, "Young man, I've seen you on the news, and I know you've met Jiang Lanpei in person. If you've been in close contact with her, then think back to her whole face, isn't it a bit stiff."

He stopped speaking abruptly and did not go on, but gave He Yu a meaningful look and disappeared into the depths of the aisle, accompanied by the corrections officer and in heavy shackles.

Sha Hong was behind bars, but he told the full story of Jiang Lanpei's face.

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

But at that time, the situation was so precarious that he had no time to observe and interrogate so much. At this time, hearing Sha Hong say so, he was immediately sure that Sha Hong wasn't lying, and that there was indeed material in this man's stomach that was worth the risk of digging into.

So, a week later, Sha Hong's task of moving scrap metal and doing heavy lifting at the prison factory was over, and he was transferred to the factory to sew buttons for foreign trade orders.

In a few days, he won't be asked to do the button sewing, so he'll simply be asked to go to the cafeteria and share the food with everyone.

It's a felon's dream job. Not only is it easy and effortless, but every day you get to eat the biggest piece of fish and meat you can find in your position, and your fellow inmates all suck up to it, hoping that when they see each other at the meal window, Sha Hong will give them more good food.

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

A few weeks before the day of the medical examination, Sha Hong received a wax-sealed note surreptitiously handed to him by one of his cellmates, which, when crushed, contained a very simple line-

"If you are already convinced, I will be coming in at the end of the week to ask you something more specific. As soon as I get the information I want, the results of your medical examination will fully satisfy the conditions for medical parole."

The inscription is very simple, just one word "He".

Finally, Sha Hong agreed to accept He Yu's second "picking".

Their meeting was scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on a weekend night. The day before the meeting, Sha Hong sat down at the small table in the prison and made an outline, in very concise language, of what he intended to explain to He Yu tomorrow.

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

At the same time, however, he did not intend to give away all the most important things on this occasion, lest He Yu should fail to fulfill his promise of "medical parole" once he had finished using him.

Sha Hong scribbled and scribbled on the paper, repeatedly deleting the information, and when he was finally satisfied, he tucked the piece of paper into his pocket and went to bed at the sound of the lights-out whistle.

Perhaps the end of his prison sentence was at hand, or perhaps he had remembered too much of the past before he went to sleep, this night, Sha Hong suddenly dreamed in the hard board bed where he had lain for more than ten years--

"Hahahahaha, if this business deal is successful, we'll be rich in the future."

In his dream, Liang Jicheng is the same as he was twenty years ago, when he and Liang Zhongkang, two brothers, walked out of a luxury hotel on the Bund, both half-sober and half-drunk.

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

Liang Jicheng didn't finish the latter words, snorting them mushily in his mouth.

Because his drowsy eyes were focused on Sha Hong.

Boss Xiao Liang hiccuped, glanced at his brother and smiled - both of them knew very well that this kind of thing that couldn't be brought to the surface had to be said sparingly in front of the driver.

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

Liang Jicheng waved his hand away in disgust, "What are you doing? Be careful, do you know what I'm wearing?Gu......Gucci, 90,000 dollars a piece! The tag hasn't even been removed, so you'll have to pay for it if it gets dirty?"

In fact, 90,000 Gucci winter cashmere coat is just an ordinary ready-made clothes, and not high luxury customized, but in the view of the Liang brothers at that time, it is already a very luxurious 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--

Liang Zhongkang laughed and patted his brother's shoulder, "What's this? We're going to be able to rely on a big tree, those stars under them, a dress is a fucking million dollars, to work for them, what's 90,000 dollars?"

"Yeah, I'm really drunk. Ninety thousand dollars won't be enough for me. Hey, watch it, what are you doing?" The drunken man accidentally tripped over himself while being escorted into the car by Sha Hong.

However, he was in a fuzzy state of mind and thought that Sha Hong was not doing his job properly, so he raised his hand and slapped Sha Hong in the face.

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

"What are you hitting him for? He's from the countryside, he smells like salted fish, if you hit him, you'll have to get alcohol tablets in the car to disinfect him." When the older brother's speech than the younger brother is even meaner, Liang Zhongkang wantonly laughed, smugly looked at Sha Hong, "People are fucking respectable and inferior, some people a wave of the hand is tens of millions of hundreds of millions, some people well ...... haha. I'm not going to be able to do that."

Sha Hong, in a moment of anger, 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 either can you?"

"Equality for all? This is Huzhou. Do you know what Huzhou was like 100 years ago? This side of the river is full of lights and wine, and the other side of the river is full of starving people. You and I rewind to a hundred years ago, you're just a yellow cab driver, I can beat you to death if I want to, and you still come to talk to me about equality?"

Sha Hong wanted to argue further, Liang Zhongkang took out a thick wallet from his pocket, drew a large stack of hundred dollar bills, and slapped him on his stiff face: "Don't be so idealistic, young man, you want to talk to us about equality, don't you? Come on, let you know what the meaning of equality, listen to the personnel said your mother is sick, urgent use of money, I slap you, give you a thousand dollars, I have a lot of money today, do you want it? Huh? You want it or not!"

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

Thin paper bills, but it seems like a thousand pounds, smashed people's bones are broken, the face has become plasma mud ash.

Sha Hong remembers when the wind on the Bund whistled and thin hundred-dollar bills flew all over the sky, causing an uproar and scrambling among the latecomers.

He stood in the cold wind, he forgot if he had gotten down on his knees and cried after the scattered money, it was strange, his memory was obviously good.

But it just doesn't come to mind.

Perhaps it is the memory that feels shame too, when man had to fall into a beast, and the human brain is ashamed to admit those absurd pasts.

Sha Hong just remembers the Liang brothers' two villainous, openly smiling faces.

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

And the laughter, swirling and swirling wildly through the memories.

He remembered the date well, 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.

Sha Hong was a driver, and drivers are human, and he memorized those names wordlessly.

--The names that, in all likelihood, would please He Yu.

.

Sunday morning.

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

He is going to meet Sha Hong today. After thinking about it, he decided to tell Xie Qingcheng about it.

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

Li Ruoqiu hasn't been around for a while since that awkward encounter on New Year's Eve, and for some reason he's back here today.

He Yu thought that this woman was really strange, obviously already divorced, but still pestering people for what? How capable is she to take his favorite man as her spare tire?

"You stay, no need for a ride, I'll take a cab."

"I've called the car for you."

"That ......" Li Ruoqiu from her luxury satchel pulled out an envelope, quite thick, a look know that there is a lot of money inside, she handed the envelope to Xie Qingcheng, "then these you She handed the envelope to Xie Qingcheng, "Then you can keep these, Xiao Xue used to be very good to me, she suddenly got sick, I can't do anything to help, these money ......"

"You can have this money back."

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

"Not anymore."

"Shea ......"

"You go back. I appreciate you being able to care for her. But we can't take this money."

The woman tilted her head in bewilderment and stared at him for a while, then said, "Brother, you don't have to misunderstand me, I don't mean that, it's just that ...... it's just that I've been through some things now and understand a lot of things. I know that I spent a lot of money on you in the beginning, you, you took care of me for those, I don't know how to return to you, so I--"

"You used to be my wife. You also thought of many things for me." Xie Qingcheng interrupted her words, her eyes were quiet, like two pools of dark water.

"So those are the things I should do."

Li Ruoqiu stares at him and she looks like she's about to cry again.

"...... Shea, I, I'm already planning to divorce him."

"......"

She said this to him without a word.

Then she tried to find a little reaction from Xie Qingcheng's face, but the result disappointed her to no end.

Li Ruoqiu's voice began to be choked vine entangled: "...... I'm a person, you also know, I can't stand other people don't love me, I was divorced from you at that time, I just feel that, you're so calm every day, so cold, in the time when there are only two of us, I want some warmth , you give me the response is also very mechanical, there is not much desire ...... I was particularly aggrieved in my heart at that time, you know?"

"......"

"I feel like you're like a schedule, one thing after another you've arranged very clearly, I tried so hard to dig something soft and passionate out of your heart, but I couldn't. You take care of me, protect me, give me a home, but it seems like you don't 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 do that, the more uneasy I get, and I feel like if I keep this up, it's going to be me that's always going to be indebted to you."

Xie Qingcheng sighed, "Like I said, you've made a lot of sacrifices and concessions for my choices, too, and - you were my wife at the time, and those were all I had to do."

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

Xie Qingcheng's tongue was dumbfounded.

Li Ruoqiu looked at him with red eyes: ''Brother, you only let others accept your care and guidance, but you never want to accept the good intentions of others. You really drove me crazy back then. I never thought before there that one person's 'goodness' could also be a heavy stone that crushes another person's heart."

"I want love so much, I want someone who will love me equally and allow me to take care of him and protect him equally. For that I would do anything, right or wrong. I ...... thought I had found true love when I found that person, but what did I expect ......"

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

"I am now really confused, Xie brother, maybe I think of love too perfectly ...... Maybe love without responsibility, even if married and licensed, is just a fling that leaves a mark, nothing more."

Xie Qingcheng didn't say anything.

Li Ruoqiu dried his tears and tilted his head to ask him, "Can you accept this money from me? Even see this behavior as a last bit of comfort for me? Or ...... forgiveness?"

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

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

That smile was still tear-stained, like crying.

The taxi Xie Qingcheng called for her is here.

He opened the car door for her, as he always did, habitually, very macho and caring.

His peach blossom eyes looked into her tearful ones, "Get in the car. Thank you for making a point of caring about her condition, I ......"

He didn't finish the last point, because Li Ruoqiu couldn't hold back the complex feelings in his heart, couldn't hold back the sadness any longer.

She suddenly reached out and leapt over him and wrapped her arms around his waist in the chilly morning air.

Shoulders trembled, and eventually tears fell like rain.

"Shea ...... sorry ......"

"......"

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

Xie Qingcheng It is not good to be angry with a girl, not to mention that she is crying so hard.

Li Ruoqiu had betrayed him, but once she had done something that he was very grateful for, something that he remembered until now and was unlikely to forget in the future.

So seeing her like this, Xie Qingcheng didn't know what to do for a moment. He could only say, "Li Ruoqiu, calm down, it's very inappropriate for you to do this, the car is here, get in."

Li Ruoqiu, however, hugged him and did not let go, she really suffered too much aggression, this moment she hugged him, she deep down hoped that the past did not happen, she is still his wife, can be free to embrace their husbands with no fear of indulgence.

She's completely unaware that He Yu is not far from her car, gripping the steering wheel and peering out through the windshield.

And she wrapped her arms around Xie Qingcheng's waist and hugged him and cried ...... All of this has been complete--

It was reflected in the boy's dark eyes.
