Chapter 48 Plausible and False Explores Reality
"Zhehan is not an outsider," Gong Mengshu saw that Cheng Ruikai's tone was not good, and hurriedly said: "He is my old classmate, he is really here to help you-"
"Really?" Cheng Ruikai stared at Li Zhehan, and under the four eyes looking at each other, Cheng Ruikai was even more firm in his first judgment of Li Zhehan, and he said coldly: "Are you sure that he didn't come to fall into the well?"
"Ruikai, what are you talking nonsense!" Gong Mengshu saw Cheng Ruikai talking nonsense, and hurriedly apologized to Li Zhehan behind him: "Zhehan, I'm sorry, Ruikai is too excited......"
"Understandable, it's fine. Li Zhehan waved his hand, not wanting to embarrass Gong Mengshu, but tried to ease his expression and said to Cheng Ruikai: "Commander Cheng, you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, Mengshu went to Nanjing alone for you, can't you let go of your so-called man's dignity and ignore her hard work?"
Cheng Ruikai raised his eyes and glanced at Li Zhehan, but did not say anything. Li Zhehan continued: "If it weren't for Meng Shu being my old classmate, I wouldn't have put my hot face on someone's cold ass today! I should have stood in Qilun's position and avenged him, but I believe what Meng Shu said, and I also believe that you won't do that kind of thing that violates your conscience, so I want to help, please don't think too much......
Cheng Ruikai frowned and pondered, while Cheng Ruitai bowed his head and said: "Ruikai, this gentleman is right, we were all wrongfully in, but if someone didn't help us right now, we would have been locked up here sooner or later...... Don't be tough, lest you have a hard time......"
Cheng Ruikai remained silent. Seeing this, Li Zhehan whispered a few words to Gong Mengshu, Gong Mengshu looked up at Cheng Ruikai, with reluctance and pleading in his eyes, but finally obeyed Li Zhehan's advice and withdrew from the prison.
"Mengshu, you have also seen it, if Cheng Ruikai still has this attitude, when he really goes to the military court, I won't be able to protect him!" Li Zhehan sighed and said, "The most important thing at the moment is to let him slow down and have an attitude, and he can defend himself in court, otherwise this matter can be big or small, and if it is small, it will be fine, if it is big, this matter will be a capital crime!"
Gong Mengshu said worriedly: "What can I do about this?"
Li Zhehan shook his head and said, "It seems that we still have to find another way together." Gong Mengshu saw that Li Zhehan said this, and he could only reluctantly agree.
In the past few days, Li Zhehan accompanied Gong Mengshu to find many fellow villagers and friends, and used his connections to intercede for Cheng Ruikai. Gong Mengshu was very reluctant at first, but after a few times, he gradually saw some clues. Although Li Zhehan took her around a lot, most of these people were old friends from the school, and they were not important people related to Cheng Ruikai's case. Li Zhehan was busy introducing her to the customs of Nanjing, but he did not take the initiative to mention how to help Cheng Ruikai reduce his criminal responsibility.
What is his purpose in doing this? Gong Mengshu was not stupid, and naturally felt a little apprehensive in his heart. She endured it for a few days, and finally decided to ask Li Zhehan in person.
"Zhehan, Ruikai is about to go to court-martial, but so far, we haven't made any progress...... Gong Mengshu said hesitantly.
"Oh, Mengshu, there will be a lot of difficulties in Nanjing......" Li Zhehan seemed to expect Gong Mengshu to ask this, and when he answered very fluently, he also took out the jewelry box he bought for Gong Mengshu and put it in front of her, wanting to avoid this topic, and said: "You see the imported goods I asked someone to bring back for you, crystal brooches, do you like it?"
Gong Mengshu felt a little cold in her heart, she looked at the crystal brooch in a daze for a long time, and then said, "Thank you, Chief of Staff Li, this gift is too expensive for Mengshu to accept." ”
"How come?" Li Zhehan stared at Gong Mengshu, his eyes were full of admiration: "Only this crystal is not worthy of you, and there is absolutely no reason why you can't compare to them......"
"But no gift is as important to me as Cheng Ruikai. Gong Mengshu looked at Li Zhehan and said, "Please understand Mengshu's feelings, Chief of Staff Li, please Haihan if you have offended." ”
Li Zhehan's face was a little unsightly when he heard this, but he still maintained a graceful smile and said, "It seems that I annoyed you, right, Mengshu?"
Gong Mengshu didn't say a word.
Li Zhehan's mood was suddenly a little impulsive, he raised his head to look at Gong Mengshu, and said, "Mengshu, do you know, before, I used to ...... Just ......"
"Zhehan, it's time, we should go to see Ruikai in the prison!" Gong Mengshu didn't let Li Zhehan finish his words, but stood up and said, "Let's go!"
"Mengshu, I-" Li Zhehan's thousand words were blocked in his chest.
Gong Mengshu turned his back to him for a long time, slowly turned around, and said, "Zhehan, I know that it is really difficult for me to beg you today. I also know that you have hatred for Cheng Ruikai in your heart. Qilun and your classmates have a deep affection, although you don't say it, I know that you still think about him in your heart. After all, although Qilun was not killed by Cheng Ruikai, Ruikai can't get out of it. However, Rikai is now my man, and husband and wife are grasshoppers on a rope, and I won't be better if he dies. So if you still think of me as an old classmate, please help me this time!
When he said the words "is it okay", Gong Mengshu's voice was a little hoarse, and there were crystal tears in his eyes, which reflected the crystal on the table.
Gong Mengshu's words made Li Zhehan's face flush, and he slowly lowered his head and stared at his trousers. Gong Mengshu waited for his answer, Li Zhehan thought silently for a long time before raising his head and reluctantly said: "Mengshu, I just realized that you really like the difficulty of strong people, but-I'll try my best-"
Gong Mengshu's heart was sour, and tears of excitement couldn't help but burst out of his eyes. She knew that with Li Zhehan's words, Cheng Ruikai would be saved.
Sure enough, Li Zhehan did have strong connections and background, and Cheng Ruikai and Cheng Ruitai were soon released in a military court due to lack of evidence.
Li Zhehan said to Gong Mengshu intentionally or unintentionally at the stall where Cheng Ruitai was released: "Your uncle is very strange, his name appeared on the complaint against Cheng Ruikai, Cheng Ruikai just entered the prison with his front foot, but why did his eldest brother follow him into the prison with his back foot?"
Gong Mengshu's heart tightened, and then he came to his senses. She pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled bitterly, and said: "Some people always think that they can hide from the world, but in fact, the more they hide it, the more they can't hide it, just like paper can't contain fire." Then she sighed softly helplessly, and I saw pity with her frowning demeanor, which made Li Zhehan feel pity and loss.
