Chapter 7: The Book of Desperation
When I came out of Chen Li's house, it was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and I discussed it with Lin Yan, planning to find a place to live tonight and return to Chenzhou City tomorrow.
It was pitch black outside, only some sporadic lights could be seen in some houses, and a gust of mountain wind blew, which made people feel desolate and desolate. Lin Yan and I got into the car, turned on the lights in the car, and chatted about what happened at Chen Li's house just now.
Suddenly they heard the sound of knocking on the car window, and the two were startled. I opened the car window and saw that it was Chen Li's younger brother Chen Jun.
"Brother Lin, I found a letter in my sister's rental house today, it should be for you. As he spoke, Chen Jun took out an envelope and handed it over from the car window.
I took it and saw that the envelope was written in Chen Li's familiar handwriting, "Lin Haifeng".
"Brother Lin, I have a few more things I want to tell you. Chen Jun said.
"What's the matter?" I was anxious.
"Before my sister died, she left us a bank card and a small note, which said that there were 200,000 yuan in the card, saying that it was for my father's treatment. I just want to ask you if you know who gave this money?" Chen Jun said.
"200,000 dollars, I don't know!" I was a little surprised.
When Chen Li and I worked together in Guangdong, the salary was not high, and most of the savings were sent back home for her parents to build a house for her younger brother to study. I definitely don't have so much money in my hands all at once.
Chen Jun saw that we didn't know the origin of the money, and continued: "There is one more thing, please help me check it!"
"The night before my sister died, many relatives and my sister's friends received some photos. Chen Jun said.
"What pictures did you receive?" I didn't understand.
"It's just some of my sister's... Naked... Photos!" Chen Jun said.
"Ah......h
As soon as I thought about it, it dawned on me that the matter of this photo must be the biggest factor that led Chen Li to choose suicide. No wonder Chen Li, who has always been strong, chose the path of suicide.
Just imagine, a woman, whose father is seriously ill, is already under a lot of pressure, and her nude photos are sent to relatives and friends overnight, how humiliating it is. And that night we were bumped into in the hotel, how much of a blow did this heart endure?
"Do you know the phone number of the person who sent the photo?" Lin Yan asked.
"On my phone, I will take a screenshot and send it to you, you add me WeChat. Chen Jun opened his mobile phone as he spoke.
I added Chen Jun's WeChat, and he sent me a screenshot, and the picture was really unsightly. I looked at my mobile phone number, and I couldn't be sure who it was, but immediately Zhang Chu's bastard face popped up in my mind, and I guessed that it must be him, and I was furious when I thought about it.
"This matter is a bit disgraceful, I didn't want to tell you about it, but thinking that you are my sister's friends, I just hope you can help me find out!" Chen Jun's eyes were red, and tears were already flowing out.
"My sister is the best person in the world, she has always given me living expenses, and she cares about me and my parents in every detail, I must find out this person!" Chen Jun said while crying.
"Okay, you go back first, and we will definitely check with you! Go back and take good care of your parents and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family. If there is any difficulty, just talk to Brother Lin in WeChat. Lin Yan and I comforted Chen Jun with kind words.
"Okay, thank you Brother Lin, I believe you are a good person, thank you for coming to my house to visit my mother!" Chen Jun said and turned to go home.
"It must be a good thing done by Zhang Chu, a bastard, I really want to kill him!" Seeing Chen Jun leave sadly, my heart was full of anger, and I couldn't wait to kill him immediately.
"I guess it's also a photo of Zhang Chufa, but there is no conclusive evidence to say this now, don't be so impulsive!" Lin Yan said softly.
I tried to keep my anger in check, knowing that it would take time to find out.
"Who gave the 200,000 yuan?" I said to myself.
"Could it be that Chen Li succumbed to Zhang Chu in order to treat her father's illness, and then Zhang Chu gave her 200,000 yuan?" I said.
"I think it should be like this!" Lin Yan said.
"Then, when I was at the hotel, I happened to let you bump into you. Lin Yan continued.
It's logical, and I'm right.
I suddenly thought of Chen Li's letter, and I hadn't read it just now. I quickly tore open the envelope, which contained only a piece of stationery and saw a few lines of familiar font.
Dear Kaede,
You and I have been in love for three years, more than a thousand days and nights, and I will never forget it in my life. No matter what I do, I will love you to death. However, this love road is bumpy, I am haggard, it is difficult to walk, and I can't afford to walk with you anymore. Kaede, I hope you live well and cherish your future partner. You're going to be happy.
Forgive me for my cowardice and ignorance of life, I have done some stupid things that I can't forgive myself, and now, I can only take the regrets of this life as a sad song, accompanied by this cup of bitter wine, I wish to sleep forever tonight, leave a thousand years of dreams, and reincarnate with you in the next life......
Love you Lee
I read the letter word by word, as if Chen Li's voice was pouring out in my ear, my heart was like a knife, tears flowed down my cheeks, and tears dripped down my cheeks on the letterhead.
Chen Chenli clearly didn't want to put pressure on me because of her father's illness, so she deliberately concealed it and didn't tell me. I really can't imagine that Chen Li, who loves vanity, has suffered so much pain silently alone.
Why am I so careless, my girlfriend's father is seriously ill and I am unconscious, and I can't share anything with her during her most difficult times...
"What a fool I," I lost control of my emotions and threw myself on the steering wheel and cried.
Since Lin Yan learned what happened, she also felt guilty about Chen Li's misunderstanding before, sighed, and secretly cried with me.
The two of them were immersed in this sadness in the car, and I don't know how long it was, and I saw that it was already zero o'clock. I thought to myself, I have to find a place to rest for the night, and I can't let Lin Yan accompany me to suffer.
"Let's find a place to rest for the night, there must be no hotels open in the town, let's go to the county seat!" I said, and started the car and drove towards the county seat.
By the time we arrived at the county seat, there were very few people on the streets. Guidong City is a small city with a small population, and I went to high school here, and I have lived here for three years, and everything is very familiar, and I can't help but think of my parents at home.
My hometown is Sidu Town, Guidong County, and it is only 40 minutes drive from the county seat, so when I came to the county seat, I suddenly had the urge to go home and have a look.
"Hey, Sister Yan, can you come home with me now?" I said jokingly. I had been immersed in an atmosphere of grief for a few hours, and I wanted to ease it.
"Now, won't you? If you go to your house so late, what will your parents think when they see me?" Lin Yan said.
"Will you be shocked to think that you have robbed a daughter-in-law outside and come home? Lin Yan said with a smile.
I think about it, when I came home so late, my parents got up from the bed and had to greet Lin Yan again, which really disturbed their rest. But it's so close to home, I really want to go home and see, and I haven't been home for half a year.
"Otherwise, let's find a hotel to rest for the night, and I'll accompany you tomorrow morning, anyway, tomorrow is Sunday and I won't go to work!" Lin Yan seemed to see that I wanted to go home.
"Okay, then I'll find a hotel first. I said.
I am very familiar with the county seat, and I quickly found the Linglong Hotel that I often go to.
"How many rooms shall we have tonight?" I asked with a smile.
"You're beautiful, I'm sure you'll have two! But I don't mind if you're willing to sleep in the bathroom. Lin Yan glared at me.
"Okay, then two"
We opened the room and tossed for a day, it was already early in the morning, I was really tired, after entering the room, I washed up and went to sleep.
