Jiang Ruo couldn't deny that Jiang Zhouman's previous words gave her a psychological hint that she couldn't ignore, if she really didn't care, she wouldn't have contracted in anger that day, so it directly led to premature birth, and she wouldn't have such a fierce reaction when Lu Huaishen said that he wanted to give her Jiang's shares today.

Usually the outburst of emotions is accumulated over a long period of time.

Regarding the Jiang family and Du Shengyi, it has become the crux of the relationship between her and Lu Huaishen a few months ago, but because she didn't want to mention it later, she was afraid that when she mentioned it, she and Lu Huaishen would return to the unresolved state of the past, and finally end up in a divorce.

When people are drowning, they instinctively look for driftwood.

Lu Huaishen is her driftwood, and she just wants to survive, even if she escapes reality and allows the problem to exist, she doesn't want to lose this driftwood that can save her when she needs help the most.

However, she naturally won't say it now, because Jiang Zhouman has given her a new interpretation of this already nostalgic matter.

For example, Lu Huaishen seems to care about her very much now, but he still can't make any changes on the issues she cares about the most. Another example is whether he has no feelings for Du Shengyi. For another example, if he had to choose between her and Du Shengyi, and chose to give the Jiang family to Du Shengyi, it meant that he would completely sever the relationship between husband and wife with her from now on, how would he choose?

And now this peak turned so that she was caught off guard.

Jiang Ruo bypassed the question thrown by Lu Huaishen and asked him: "Why do you want to give me Jiang's shares?"

Now that he has acquired the Jiang family, the proportion of shares in his hand must not be less, if she does, she may be the largest shareholder of the Jiang family, and she may still have the right to veto.

It was late at night, and he was asleep in the crib, so as not to wake him, the two lowered their voices and spoke like lovers. When a serious question is asked, the tone seems to be similar to "love me or not".

The curtains obscured all light, and it was impossible to see each other's faces in the dark, but the two pairs of eyes had a hazy bright color that was easy to find, so they couldn't help but meet that eye when they spoke.

"It should have been. Lu Huai stared at her deeply, tracing in his mind the expression she might have at this time, guessing her next question.

He said a few months ago that about the Jiang family and Du Shengyi, he would say that whatever Jiang Ruo wanted to know, he would still count now, but now he has the only uncertainty that Jiang Ruo is not ready.

Obviously, Jiang Ruo didn't seem to be ready, she said: "Then I'll let Gao Sui help with the legal process." ”

Gao Sui's ability and experience in non-litigation business are good, and he was in charge of it before, and she still intends to do so this time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruo remembered the divorce agreement she had asked him to draw up before, and when Gao Sui came to visit her after she came back, he said that he would stop the matter, whether to revoke or continue, and wait for her decision at any time.

Because of the kidnapping, her original life was disrupted, and at the same time, she pressed the pause button on her former life, giving her the opportunity to live in this vague area between short-term grievances and resentments.

After that, Jiang Ruo didn't ask any more questions, but there were many thoughts in his mind, one moment it was the grievances between the Jiang and Du families, and the other time it was how did Lu Huaishen and people like Shui Huo intersect? What kind of character did Lu Huaishen provoke that caused the Du family to be affected? What role did Shui Huo play between Lu and Du?

She fell asleep in a daze, but she never slept a whole night after giving birth, and this night she was affected by her cranky thoughts before going to bed, and she dreamed of water and fire and Ah You.

In the dream, Ah You's arm was only connected by skin and flesh, and in front of her, Shui Huo pulled Ah You's hand and tore it a little bit, Jiang Ruo clearly witnessed the scene where the skin tissue was pulled to the point of breaking.

Ah You's long and sharp screams lasted for a long time, and finally the voice gradually lost its strength, and the moment before he fell, Shui Huo smiled and said, "He died, he did it!"

At this time, a cry shook her eardrums, she opened her eyes suddenly, and her ears still echoed with Ah You's miserable cry before he died, she breathed heavily, and her thoughts gradually returned, and the screams in the dream were covered by the immature and loud cry in reality, which was full.

Lu Huaishen also woke up, turned on the light and hugged Man Man to Jiang Ruo's side, and then got out of bed to soak milk.

This is the first time that the two have taken care of the child in person after Manman was born, but when they were in the hospital, the two learned from the confinement lady and the nurses in the hospital how to change diapers, how to make milk for the child, and Lu Huaishen also learned how to touch the baby.

But when Man Man was crying hoarsely in Jiang Ruo's arms, she still felt at a loss.

The crying woke up the confinement lady and Aunt Wu, in the middle of the night, the house was brightly lit, and she was still crying after drinking milk, and the confinement lady said that it might be stomach flatulence, so let them try the plane hug.

Lu Huaishen put him on his forearm, supported him and walked around the bed, after a while, Man Man gradually quieted down, Jiang Ruo lovingly stroked the forehead lines squeezed out when he raised his eyelids, and the little guy would look at Jiang Ruo with misty eyes.

After putting the child to sleep, Jiang Ruo lost her sleepiness again, and the bedroom was quiet again, full of darkness that made her uneasy, but she didn't want to close her eyes.

She was close to Lu Huaishen and said fearfully: "Lu Huaishen, I may have killed someone." She swallowed, "A guy named Ah You, I'...... I cut off his arm, but it took him to the hospital overnight, and he probably missed the treatment or died of blood loss on the way. ”

When it was slightly dawn that day, when Chen Shan and the others carried Ah You to the car with a wooden plank, she secretly opened the curtains and took a look, and a few people cleaned up the place where Ah You had been lying in the utility room, the blood was sucked and sucked with a towel, and the brush was brushed and brushed, and when she went back to sleep, it was not clean.

She had never thought about whether a normal person would survive if he had lost too much blood and delayed treatment for several hours.

She didn't even ask Lu Huaishen about the police's handling of this matter.

Her heartbeat became stronger, and she still puffed up her breath and asked Lu Huaishen: "Have you found out that a person named Ah You, is he dead?"

Lu Huaishen had seen the video of Jiang Ruo cutting off Ah You's hand a long time ago, but it was the first time he had heard Jiang Ruo mention it.

Lu Huaishen was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't kill Ah You, I just cut off his hand out of self-defense." ”

Jiang Ruo was shocked: "How do you know?"

At noon on the day he found Jiang Ruo, he received a phone call, and the man on the other end asked him in Mandarin with a local accent: "Is it Lu Huaishen?" My wife Jiang Ruo asked her to send her some money, which is on Elephant Bird Island, south of the main island of the Chiliu Islands. The exact latitude and longitude were then reported.

When Lu Huaishen answered the phone, he asked Pei Shao to contact Chen Jinnan immediately, and the police tracked the number, and finally located it on the main island of the Chiliu Islands, and then the police contacted the police in the city closest to the Chiliu Islands to deploy together.

After that phone call, he received an anonymous email with a video file attached to it.

Lu Huaishen didn't want to think back to his feelings when he saw Jiang Ruo's sluggish face after Ah You, who was covered in blood, fell down, revealing a saw holding a saw.

At that time, he was already thinking about how to let Ah You escape from the police, and then find him in private and lock him up, let him hang that arm, and stab him in the bone of his wound ten minutes before he died.

But after arriving on the island, the police only arrested three people involved, two middle-aged men and an old woman.

That Aunt Chen is the biological mother of water and fire, no matter how she is judged, she always insists that it has nothing to do with water and fire at this time.

As for the two men, they were reluctant to confess at first and the other suspects involved in the case, and finally threatened them with sentencing, only to say that in addition to Mrs. Chen, there were seven of them.

At this time, after Lu Huaishen and Chen Jinnan reached an agreement, they changed their testimony, in fact, they were Chen Jinnan's informants, who were placed by Shui Huo's side early in the morning and participated in the arrest of Shui Huo. There was no signal on the island, and the two informants had to find a way to inform the outside world without arousing suspicion in order to delay for so long.

Lu Huaishen didn't want to let go of Chen Shan and Xu Lang, as well as the other three who escaped.

But the next day, Chen Shan contacted him again using the hotel landline, willing to tell him about the nest of water and fire in the southeast region, and made an exchange with him to let him fulfill Jiang Ruo's promise to him.

Lu Huaishen didn't nod immediately.

Chen Shan said again: "If it weren't for me, do you think Jiang Ruo would be able to save her?"

Lu Huaishen agreed, but added the code, and asked Chen Shan to tell him the news of the other three people.

Chen Shan said: "The one who was sawed by Jiang Ruo is Ah You, who is estimated to be dead, the one named Hou Ming is a henchman of Shui Huo, he just used Ah You to shoot that kind of video threat, not to mention whether he was really sent to the hospital or not, Hou Ming didn't plan to send him to the hospital in the first place, it was easy to be found out, and evidence would be left." Chen Shan smiled, "Maybe let people go and search the bottom of the sea, and there will be a discovery." But with such a large area of sea, I'm afraid it will be difficult. If he wanted to avenge Jiang Ruo, presumably the thin monkey had already done it, and Ah You would not die very comfortably. ”

Later, the police arrested Hou Ming and another man involved in the case at the customs office in the provincial capital of Lingnan Province, both of whom denied that the kidnapping of Jiang Ruo was instructed by water and fire, presumably for fear of retaliation if he was released from prison in the future, but Hou Ming was sure that the police could not find Ah You's body, saying that Ah You ran away halfway, and who knows where he went.

After these experiences, Lu Huaishen originally wanted to wait for her to get better and find a suitable time to talk to her, but it seems that today seems to be the best time.

He said: "So, I didn't kill Ah You, it was a man named Hou Ming who killed him." ”

Jiang Ruo muttered: "But I cut off his hand, he lost too much blood and delayed treatment, and he may also die." ”

Lu Huaishen emphasized to her: "Cutting off his hand is just legitimate defense, and whoever said that if he breaks his hand, he will not necessarily die." ”

Jiang Ruo's heart palpitated, those pictures became vivid again in her mind, she fell into the memory, trembling unconsciously, she whimpered: "...... will die"

Lu Huaishen squeezed her hands, "Trust me, I have experience." ”

Jiang Ruo's attention was instantly diverted.

Lu Huaishen whispered: "Do you remember how many years I spent in HK before? Don't you always want to know? I once cut off a person's hand, just like Ah You, only a layer of skin tissue is still connected, at that time...... I was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and I had nightmares like that at night. ”

Sure enough, people with similar experiences are more convincing when they say things that empathize with them.

"Because of what?" Jiang Ruo wanted him to continue.

In fact, those two years were the years that Lu Huaishen didn't want to recall, it was dark, dirty, and unbearable. He was even afraid that Jiang Ruo would despise him because of his bad history. If you talk about the things in this period of time, you can't avoid Du Shengyi and water and fire. He was reluctant to say it, because there were too many taboos to avoid.

He knew that Jiang Ruo had a grudge against Du Shengyi, but he didn't want to ask, he had been waiting for her to speak, and now he figured it out, maybe when the time was right, let him be the one who took the initiative to speak, solve her doubts, heal her trauma, and let her know that she didn't need to be self-trapped.

Lu Huaishen put one hand around her, pillowed the other behind his head, looked at the dark ceiling, and said in a low voice: "Maybe it's because of youth and frivolity." ”

The reason why Xue Jiayue took Lu Huai Shenyuan to HK after the divorce was really because she was desperate, because Chang Wan's relentless pursuit was to make their mother and son have no place to stay in China.

Xue Jiayue originally planned to stay in Donglin City after the divorce, but Chang Wan estimated that their mother and son were still a threat to her, although Xue Jiayue had been a housewife for more than ten years, but she had a high degree of education, and the gold content of returnees in that era was still very heavy, but even grassroots jobs were rejected, and it was difficult to rent a house.

Xue Jiayue gradually came to her senses, so she took Lu Huaishen to HK.

thought that the mountains and rivers were far away, and Chang Wan's hand couldn't reach that far, but Xue Jiayue was burdened with the rent and Lu Huaishen's tuition, and the alimony of the Lu family was not timely, and there was a huge difference from the amount agreed at the beginning, plus she was diagnosed with cancer soon after, and there was a potential rare genetic disease, and the mother and son became more and more struggling.

Later, Chang Wan directly cut off their mother and son alimony, and Lu Zhongnan and Lu Youwen also turned a blind eye.

Fortunately, at that time, Xue Jiayue's brother's childhood friend accidentally knew that she had come to HK, and life was still so difficult, not only helped Lu Huaishen change to a good middle school and pay the tuition, but also helped the mother and son provide shelter, and also helped pay the medical expenses in advance. Xue Jiayue and Lu Huaishen didn't want to take advantage of it in vain, and they made IOUs for every money.

The one who helped the mother and son was Du Shengyi's father, Du Yanhua.

After that, Chang Wan gradually became ill and lost his labor force and could not continue to work, Lu Huaishen would go to work as a temporary worker after school and holidays, and he could earn a little bit for the daily living expenses of the mother and son.

One weekend, he took a shortcut home after settling his wages at the restaurant, and was stopped in the alley by thugs who demanded protection money.

Lu Huaishen has been in the Lu family since he was a child, and he has learned all boxing and taekwondo, but he was poor and afraid at that time, and he protected his money tightly, and he fought with people ruthlessly, one hit three, and the person headed by the other party was almost blinded by him.

Lu Huai kept the money, and the three of them fled, but they didn't know that they were involved in gang infighting.

At that time, the division of the gang's territory could be said to be clear, and the three people who collected protection money crossed the line, and these three people were the people of Shui Huo, but Shui Huo was still called Sui River at that time.

Sui He was a member of the New Gang, and at that time, the New Gang was divided into two forces, and Hong Lao and Xiao Ye were both fighting for the position of the person who was talking about it, and Sui He was the person of the Xiao Ye.

At that time, Sui He was only in his early twenties, but he was small and mixed, and he was brave and resourceful, and was appreciated by Xiao Ye.

At that time, several gangsters were divided into several batches to collect protection fees on the territory under the name of Hong Lao, and the others were all fine, and it happened that these three gangsters kicked the iron plate here in Lu Huaishen. But it happened to give Sui He a reason, saying that his horse boy was beaten on his territory, and he almost lost an eye, and he wanted to ask Hong Lao for an explanation.

There is a sworn enemy named Zhang Tianyao under Hong Lao, and those gangsters just happened to make trouble on Zhang Tianyao's territory.

Zhang Tianyao knew that it was water and fire that deceived people too much, and the wicked person sued first, and after investigation, he found Lu Huaishen who beat Sui Hippo Boy. Hong Lao asked Zhang Tianyao to recruit Lu Huaishen in, just as a demonstration for Xiaoye, anyway, he is also a hairy boy, and it doesn't hurt to put it there as a decoration.

Later, Zhang Tianyao found Lu Huaishen and asked him if he would like to join the new gang, saying that he would accept him as a horse boy.

Lu Huaishen didn't want to have entanglements with these people, but he also thought that if he beat up the people of Sui He, the other party would not necessarily give up, and Zhang Tianyao investigated him privately, knowing that Xue Jiayue was seriously ill, and said that he would not worry about having no money to treat his mother when he entered the gang.

Of course, Lu Huaishen knew where the money would come from, and there was a high probability that he would do something like collecting protection money. However, at that time, the security in that city was not like now, and some bars and dance halls were all underprivileged to make a living, and they would pay protection money to the gang regularly, and he could only make money from these places.

He didn't graduate from high school at that time, if he wanted to rely on studying and graduating from college, even if he could earn money in time, Xue Jiayue might not be able to wait until then, and he couldn't always rely on the Du family, if he had money to improve Xue Jiayue's quality of life, it would be good.

In this regard, Lu Huai entered the new gang, and because of this, he offended Xiao Ye, and Sui He regarded him as a thorn in the flesh.

Within two days, the two sides had a fight.

Lu Huaishen didn't understand the specific rules for this kind of group appointment at that time, anyway, Zhang Tianyao didn't pay much attention to him at that time, and really just treated him as an ornament. So that night, he wore a school uniform, carried a schoolbag, and carried a baseball bat in his hand to follow the team at the end of the line, watching people fight hotly.

As a result, Ma Zai, who collected protection money from him that day, saw him, and was angry, and attacked from the side, Lu Huaishen saw it, and instinctively threw it over with a stick, breaking one of the person's legs.

Zhang Tianyao praised him for doing a good job, and later Sui He secretly sent four or five people to secretly follow him, and when he was alone, a group of people swarmed him and beat him.

After Lu Huaishen entered the new gang, he had a guy in his schoolbag at any time, but no matter how hard he was defeated with two fists and four hands, he gradually fell behind, these people wanted to chop off a finger from him to the Sui River, and the knife was not much shorter than the current watermelon knife, at a critical time, Lu Huaishen snatched the knife and inserted it in the palm of the man's hand, at that time, he was afraid that he would be passive again, he just wanted to live, he only wanted to run, so he took out the knife and cut the palm of the man, and when people were panicked, he pulled his legs and ran.

With good luck, I picked up another life.

However, he himself was not much better, he was covered in wounds, and his face was even more bruised and purple and could not be distinguished. He didn't want to go home, he was afraid that Xue Jiayue would see it and know what he was doing outside, so after getting rid of those people and wandering a few more streets, Lu Huaishen stood at the intersection of the traffic light, turned his head, and saw Du Shengyi on the parallel street opposite.

Du Shengyi has followed him since he got out of school, didn't dare to speak out when he was beaten, secretly called the police, and after he escaped, he also followed closely.

Lu Huaishen didn't see it, and walked forward.

Du Shengyi knew that he saw him, and shouted after him, "Follow me to the hospital, or I'll tell my mother." ”
