Chapter 3: The Beginning and the End (I)

When the police came, Tang Zhen was only halfway through his meal.

Wu Qian at the door really didn't move, her stomach was gurgling.

Mama He went to open the door, and a total of four policemen came. The leader is an uncle in his forties and fifties, with a very serious expression, and he should be learning from the back, all of whom are young people.

"Tell me?" As soon as he entered the house, the older policeman immediately entered the working state.

Tang Zhen also walked out of the restaurant at this time, and repeated the reaction on the phone.

The older policeman asked, "What about the men?"

Tang Zhen said: "Those are all employees of my company, I let them go." ”

"Oh. The older policeman nodded, "And what's the matter with her?"

Wu Qian opened her mouth, but she knew that she was wrong, and she was embarrassed to speak.

"She, she's my father's junior, and she's making trouble. Tang Zhen had no intention of concealing it.

Suddenly, the three note-taking policemen who followed behind invariably put down the notebook in their hands, raised their heads, and looked at Wu Qian again.

The older policeman looked at Wu Qian more, but that's all.

"Then you guys are in a family dispute, do you want us to intervene in mediation, or do you want to solve it?"

Tang Zhen thought for a while and said, "I hope you can help me educate her, and stop being as unreasonable as now." By the way, I apologized to my mother for smashing her drawing. ”

"Well, got it. The older policeman nodded, he had dealt with a lot of similar things, and Tang Zhen was already kind.

"What about your mother?

Tang Zhen shook his head slightly, "She has been dead for a long time. ”

The older policeman was speechless for a while, and Wu Qian's gaze also changed, and said, "You can come with me." ”

"I ......" Wu Qian felt aggrieved, she didn't think that things would make such a big deal at first, didn't she just smash two things, anyway, it would be hers at that time, and no matter how it was, it had nothing to do with the police.

Seeing off Wu Qian and the police, Tang Zhen waved to the driver who moved the car to the opposite side of the villa.

The driver came in a hurry, and listened to the respect.

"Go to the company and ask the human resources department to fire Wu Qian. ”

"This ......" the driver looked difficult.

"Just ask them to call me to confirm when the time comes. Tang Zhen is giving the driver a chance, if even he can't do it, then it is better to fire Wu Qian together.

The driver said, "I see." ”

Back in the villa, Tang Zhen sat on the sofa, usually he went directly to the study or watched the news for a while, but now he is in a daze, at least it looks like this.

"System, system. Don't you have a name or title?"

The system said: "System." ”

After a few short contacts, Tang Zhen discovered that the system belonged to the taciturn category.

"What about your specific function? background or something, can you tell me?"

The system says: "My appearance arises from the sins of the world, and my function is to eliminate them." ”

"Elimination...... Evil?" Tang Zhen was a little confused, evil existed in the nature of human beings and even all things, even if it was Tang Zhen, there would be a place for evil, wouldn't it be that even he would be eliminated together.

"Strictly speaking, sin is only a measure of human beings, not a real existence. ”

"What do you mean...... Are you a product of human beings?" Tang Zhen inevitably associated.

The system said: "It doesn't matter if it's not, I don't exist to pursue a meaningless meaning." ”

Tang Zhen said: "Okay. So what do I do?"

"Do you want to start doing good?" the system told Tang Zhen his task with practical actions.

Tang Zhen did not hesitate: "Yes." ”

"Please open the navigation and go to the designated location. ”

Out.

Because the system did not specify a means of transportation, Tang Zhen decided to take the subway to his destination, Chengbei New Village, eight kilometers away.

If I am not mistaken, Chengbei New Village is one of the few LC areas that has not been demolished, and the people living in it are basically immigrants, who participated in the development and construction of Dongchen City decades ago, and the mud houses of that year have become the current two-story buildings, densely packed together, and even a larger pickup truck cannot be driven in the small alley.

The Chengbei Xincun Station of Line 3 is 500 meters away from the actual Chengbei Xincun in a straight line, but the subway is definitely less laborious than cycling, and walking 500 meters is nothing to Tang Zhen.

According to the instructions of the system, turn left and right in Chengbei New Village, and finally arrive at the end of an alley.

In the alley, a battery car that made Tang Zhen feel familiar was parked outside.

The security door is open.

Tang Zhen raised his head, and there were men's clothes and pants hanging in the security window on the second floor, and only an old man's costume was in the corner.

He had already guessed the identity of this family, and couldn't help but wonder: "System?"

"Doing good is not a simple thing, and any good deed should start and finish. ”

Tang Zhen frowned, because he always thought that the things in the morning belonged to touching porcelain, not to doing good.

But I don't listen to the system to explain it, in short, follow it.

Tang Zhen knocked on the door and shouted, "Is there anyone?"

The house was very messy, a small table was placed in the front hall, a scarred battery car was parked inside, and there were a lot of LED lights hanging on it, Tang Zhen's first reaction was, "Ghost Fire Boy"?

"Who?"

Before he could think about it, a man's voice sounded in the back room.

It's the middle-aged uncle I met at the intersection before.

As soon as he came out of the back room, he recognized Tang Zhen at a glance. Suddenly, I couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart and said, "Yo?!How did you find here? I wanted to go out to find you!"

"Hmm. I'm here to see how the old man is doing?" Tang Zhen casually found a reason to avoid the middle-aged man's question.

After hearing his words, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then a shameful expression appeared on his face, and said, "Alas. Go out and say. ”

Following him out, the middle-aged man took out a pack of large front doors, poured out one, and Tang Zhen shook his head before he asked.

The man smiled slightly, "I'm sorry. What do you call this son?"

"Tang Zhen. ”

"Good name. Just call me Li Qingguo. ”

"Hmm. ”

Li Qingguo lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said slowly: "Alas." My fourth mother-in-law's child died young, leaving her with a grandson. I haven't had a good education since I was a child, and now I'm older, and I open and close my mouth all day long to ask the old man for money, but the old man has no money, the little money from picking up garbage is not enough to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and the water and electricity bills at home are all spread out by a few of us juniors. ”

As he spoke, he took another puff of his cigarette, and it could be seen that everyone's life was not easy.

"There was no money, so the kid began to let the old man go out to touch porcelain, and when the old man refused at first, he beat the old man. I didn't touch the money, and I also hit. We only found out about it when the old man was admitted to the hospital. Our brothers beat the kid, but the boy was a bastard to the core, and threatened to beat the old man to death if we dared to beat him again. ”

Speaking of which, a cigarette was unconsciously smoked, thrown to the ground, rubbed it with his foot, and lit another one.

"We wanted to send the old man to a nursing home, but the old man refused, and we couldn't keep an eye on the kid, so we had no choice but to help him wipe his buttocks. By the way, the five hundred yuan hasn't been returned to you yet, so it's just right for you to come, I'll give you the money. ”

Tang Zhen was melancholy in his heart, he didn't expect that there would be such a story behind the porcelain, although he also felt tired at first, but ...... At this point, he was out of options.

"What should I do?"

Of course, this sentence was not said to Li Qingguo, but to ask the system.

The system said, "I can't help you. My advice is that doing good is not about giving everything you have, but about doing what you can, and hopefully you can find the best solution to make things work from the beginning to the end. ”

The system mentions more than once that the beginning is good and the end is good, which means that he wants to put an end to the whole thing and have no worries.
