Chapter 062 Sorry
Chen Jian said: "The person I saw... was Zhao Zhixiang."
Wang Li cursed: "I have disliked this pretty boy for a long time, and I guessed it was him! This pretty boy is stealing my woman, he is really tired of living."
Chen Jian quickly said, "I saw it by accident, I don't dare to say whether it was true or not... Don't be impulsive."
Wang Li looked at him and said, " Old Chen, thank you. You are the one I trust the most among all of us. Okay, don't worry about this matter. No matter what the consequences are, I will not involve you. I still know the moral code of the underworld."
"Then I'll go." Chen Jian looked up and down the corridor, then hurried towards the stairs where we were.
Chen Meiyu said with trembling hands: "Dad..." Chen Jian was getting closer and closer, and suddenly disappeared in front of us, as if he had walked into the darkness.
Li Daming patted Chen Meiyu on the shoulder and said, "These are all illusions. They are things that happened back then."
"No!" Chen Meiyu shook off his hand and burst into tears, "My father is not that kind of person. He is the best person in the world. Woo woo..."
Li Daming and I didn't know how to comfort him. It would be hard for any child to see their father hiding something.
The illusion in the corridor changed again, and Chen Jian appeared again, but the person he was talking to was not Wang Li, but Lin Xiaohui. Chen Jian said to the woman in the dark: "What do you think about Wang Li's matter?"
Lin Xiaohui said gently: "Don't worry, no matter what he does to me, I won't tell you your name."
"I'm not afraid of that." Chen Jian said, "It's not a good idea to keep it unresolved. I think you should confess."
"Ah?!" Lin Xiaohui said excitedly: "You, you want to be with Wang Li..."
"No." Chen Jian paused: "You didn't confess to me, you said it was Zhao Zhixiang."
"Why?" Lin Xiaohui was stunned: "What does it have to do with Xiao Zhao?"
"You are so confused." Chen Jian advised her: "Zhao Zhixiang is young, about the same age as you, Wang Li will believe it once he says it. And Zhao Zhixiang also likes you secretly, so this is not a lie. The most important thing is that Zhao Zhixiang has a strong backstage background, so Wang Li would have to think twice if he really wants to touch him, what do you think?"
"Let me think about it." Lin Xiaohui said embarrassedly.
"Xiaohui, do you love me?" Chen Jianliang used his trump card.
"I love you." Lin Xiaohui lowered her head and said softly, "But it has nothing to do with Xiao Zhao."
Chen Jian said: "This is called taking advantage of a big tree to enjoy the shade. Xiao Zhao is very powerful, and Wang Li dare not touch him. Otherwise, this matter will not end. You know Wang Li's temper. He is a complete scoundrel. If he goes crazy, no one will have a good outcome."
"Let me think about it." Lin Xiaohui said softly.
Li Daming sighed and commented: "Chen Jian is really a piece of shit."
Chen Meiyu was no longer able to say anything. Her father was such a character. All the troubles were there for her to see, and she was not blind.
I whispered in Li Daming's ear, "Five hundred thousand is really not a lot to save a person like this."
Li Daming said: "This man's character is not very good, but he is not beyond redemption. He did not kill anyone or set fire to anything."
As we were talking, the illusion in the corridor disappeared again, and noisy sounds came from the living room on the first floor.
The scenes that happened before were replaying in a very real illusion, and the three of us accidentally became witnesses. We went to the first floor, and I guess the two of them also had a premonition that the matter was about to reach the most critical moment, and everything would be revealed.
On the first floor, six people in the room sat around a round table. There was a hot pot on top, and beef, mutton, and various vegetables were placed around the table. There was wine in front of everyone, but no one moved. The scene was extremely depressing.
Wang Li played with the cup, picked it up and said, "I'll have one first."
The five people slowly raised their cups, except for a handsome young man who didn't. Wang Li looked at him crookedly: "Xiao Zhao, what's the matter? You don't want to give me face?"
It turns out that he is Zhao Zhixiang.
Zhao Zhixiang said gloomily: "I think this is a Hongmen Banquet."
"Come on, you're the only one who knows how to use big words." Wang Li stood up, put one foot on the stool, drank the wine in one gulp, and showed the bottom of the glass to everyone.
Chen Jian was the second one to drink the wine, and the others drank one after another, except Zhao Zhixiang who did not touch.
Wang Li's face turned red, and he said, "I told you that I called everyone to this mountain valley for no other reason than to solve the case! Find out who is having an affair with my girlfriend Lin Xiaohui."
Lin Xiaohui's face turned red, and she said anxiously, "Don't talk nonsense."
"You bitch, I'm giving you face!" Wang Li slapped her hard in the face. Lin Xiaohui sat in her place, covering her face, tears falling down.
Chen Jian was right opposite him. He didn't dare to show his head. His head was lowered so low that it was almost buried in his crotch. He didn't even dare to breathe.
The room was extremely quiet, the atmosphere was so solemn and depressing that one could hear a pin drop. No one was talking, only the gurgling sound of the hot pot.
Wang Li poured himself three more cups of wine. His face was red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he spoke word by word, "I finally solved the case! I'm an open-minded person. I like to talk about things on the table. Let's use this meal to make it clear today."
No one responded.
Wang Li looked around and wiped the wine from his mouth: "Zhao Zhixiang, what do you have to say?"
Zhao Zhixiang looked confused: "What?"
"Are you interested in my wife?" Wang Li chuckled.
Zhao Zhixiang remained silent and did not speak.
"Fuck, are you a man?" Wang Li slammed the table, and the dishes were jumping around: "Just tell me the truth!"
"I like Xiaohui." Zhao Zhixiang said, "I don't like you bullying her like this, but I also pity him."
"Fuck." Wang Li picked up a plate of vegetables on the table and threw it at him: "Why are you pitying me?! She's my wife! You're nothing!"
Zhao Zhixiang was also a hot-tempered person. He stood up and said, "She didn't marry you. She was just in love. Besides, even if she married you, you can't bully women like this! I can't stand it!"
Wang Li's eyes widened as big as copper bells: "Okay, okay, just admit it . I will bully her today." He stretched out his hands and grabbed Lin Xiaohui's long hair, tearing it back and forth. The woman cried in pain. She held his hands tightly with both hands, but she was not as strong as a man and she almost fell off the stool.
The people around him tried to persuade him, but Chen Jian buried his head deep in his chest and no one dared to persuade him.
Zhao Zhixiang was furious: "Wang Li, what kind of man are you? I hate men who beat women the most!"
"Okay, I'll show you what a man is!" Wang Li suddenly grabbed the hot pot on the table, lifted it up, and smashed it at Zhao Zhixiang, and the hot soup and the copper pot all fell on him.
The three of us saw it clearly, watching a pot of boiling chili oil pour directly into Zhao Zhixiang's eyes. Zhao Zhixiang screamed and fell to the ground, motionless.
Lin Xiaohui screamed and came over to pull Wang Li. Wang Li, like a madman, picked up the hot pot on the table and, not caring about the burn, poured it all over Lin Xiaohui from head to toe.
Lin Xiaohui's long hair was hissing with white smoke. The sweater she was wearing was very absorbent, so all the hot soup seeped in and couldn't seep out. Lin Xiaohui screamed and fell to the ground, rolling around, her body curling up like a heated shrimp.
The whole scene happened very quickly, maybe in less than a minute, and the rest of the people were dumbfounded. The table was a mess, and at this moment time stood still, and everyone maintained the posture at that time, like a suddenly frozen picture.
Li Daming walked over, slowly stretched out a finger, and slowly probed into the living room area. As soon as the tip of his finger crossed the line, it was like puncturing an invisible bubble, and everything inside disappeared instantly.
The hall on the first floor was empty and dusty, and all signs were the same as when we first came in. On the floor was an overturned soup pot, which Chen Meiyu had kicked over because she was afraid her father would eat too much. In the middle of the floor, coal was burning, and it was still burning, with a faint glow.
Everything is like a dream.
"Dad." Chen Meiyu suddenly shouted. We saw Chen Jian staggering out from the dark corner and falling headfirst into the pile of coal.
Chen Meiyu cried out heartbreakingly: "Dad!"
Li Daming reacted very quickly and rushed over, but the distance was still too far. Chen Jian's face was buried in the coal pile, and then he screamed heartbreakingly and shouted: "Xiaohui, Xiaohui, please forgive me, please forgive me!"
Li Daming and I ran over together. I couldn't help. Li Daming bent down and pulled Chen Jian out of the coal pile. His face was pitch black and his facial features were a little disfigured. He looked very scary.
Li Daming shouted to Chen Meiyu, "Bring some water!"
Chen Meiyu was a girl after all, and she was so scared that she said, "Water, water, where is it?"
I quickly said, use the soup pot to shovel the snow outside.
Chen Meiyu finally reacted and quickly opened the door to go out. The strong wind and heavy snow outside blew in, and a lot of snow drifted into the house. Chen Meiyu quickly filled half a basin of snow and closed the door.
She ran to her father and cried out, "Dad!"
Li Daming grabbed the soup pot and poured all the snow in it onto Chen Jian's face. The cold and the hot mixed together, white smoke rose up, Chen Jian trembled all over, and said weakly: "Xiaohui, I was wrong, I'm sorry for you! I'm really sorry for you!"
