Chapter 10: The Blackhearted Man
Running madly to the second sleeper car, the man in white gasped and locked the door tightly.
Listening to the sound of footsteps coming his way, he crouched down and tugged the doorknob.
"I can't die...... Absolutely not!"
The man in white's whole arm was trembling, and he muttered to himself: "That bastard kid is higher forward than me, and it should be his turn to die!"
"Open the door!"
A sudden roar outside the door made the man in white tremble, he bit his lip hard, and the strength in his hand increased a little.
"Bang!"
There was a real muffled sound, as if someone had slammed on the door!
Seeing this situation, the man in white turned his heart sideways and turned his back directly against the door!
"Don't want anyone to come in!"
The man in white cursed a few times in his heart, and his feet worked together, firmly clinging to the door.
Closing his eyes in fear, countless voices rose in the heart of the man in white......
"There is a quality problem with this batch of materials...... Boss, why don't we take this job?"
"Repair the bridge...... It's a life-threatening business...... In case the time comes...... Boss, have you thought about it?"
"Thanks to your boss for saving my life, I am fortunate to be alive today...... I'll help you carry this disaster!"
The overlapping memories were playing back and forth in the man's mind like a movie, and he shook his head violently, and cold sweat slid down his forehead to his mouth.
"Jihai ......"
The man in white whispered a name, his eyes became a little wandering, and the boundless darkness around him seemed to have changed into an old scene.
Zhang Jihai was originally just a maintenance worker in a chemical plant, he was black and strong, and his workers called him "old black" on weekdays.
Lao Hei is kind and honest, and he works very hard, plus he is naturally stronger than his peers, and his work efficiency is high, so his monthly salary is naturally higher than others.
The wind comes and goes in the rain, Zhang Jihai has been doing it for ten years.
There is a way that fools have foolish blessings, although Lao Hei is not smart, he gave birth to a naturally beautiful daughter, named Zhang Rui.
With his brute strength and the circle he has saved over the years, although Lao Hei has not been able to make a fortune, he can be regarded as worry-free, and his family of three lives a harmonious and beautiful life.
Until one day, the foreman said that the town had approved a big project, which was the work of repairing the bridge.
Lao Hei didn't say a word, picked up his luggage and said goodbye to his wife and daughter at home: "The fat meat in your mouth, you can't let it slip!"
When he came to the construction site, Lao Hei met the material supplier of this project for the first time, Boss Liang.
The other party was wearing a white shirt and had short and straight hair. At this time, he put his hands in his pockets and wore black and gray trousers, looking so chic!
The project started as soon as the project started, the materials came as soon as it came, and in a blink of an eye, the bridge had been mostly erected in the blink of an eye.
One day, Lao Hei got up to work in the morning as usual, but happened to meet Boss Liang who bowed his head and pondered, and the two said hello.
The old black is honest, the boss is humorous, just like that, the two became friends, although Zhang Jihai knew that he and the other party were not fellow travelers, but he was warm and kind, and he didn't think much about it.
Just as the bridge was about to be completed, the foreman suddenly called Lao Hei one day, saying that there was a problem in this material, and that something would definitely happen in the future, and he planned to discuss with him about running away.
At first, Lao Hei didn't believe that Boss Liang, who was handsome and humble, would actually give them fake information!
Later, when he inquired, he finally understood that the foreman had known about the fake material for a long time, and the workers other than him had also received dividends one after another, leaving him alone stupidly kept in the dark!
Now that the foreman is going to run away, this reminds Lao Hei to hurry up and roll up the cover, don't wait for something to happen and be caught in the top bag!
The original foreman's kind words have changed here in Lao Hei...... His good friend, Boss Liang, is actually a black-hearted businessman who got rich by selling fakes!
Lying in bed, Lao Hei couldn't sleep well for several nights, if he couldn't untie the knot in his heart, he couldn't sleep well!
made up his mind, Lao Hei made a few specialty meals at home, and was ready to invite Boss Liang to come to the house as a guest under the help of his daughter's education.
On this day, it is the Bright Moon Reunion Festival.
Boss Liang rushed to Zhang Jihai's house to visit as promised with gifts, and Zhang Rui trotted over to open the door.
Lao Hei's daughter is naturally beautiful, graceful, and in her twentieth year, she is slim and elegant, and when she opened the door, Boss Liang, who was in his early thirties, was stunned.
"It's ...... Your daughter?"
Boss Liang sat upright, his eyes looking directly at Zhang Rui's pink and tender face.
"Ah...... Yes, let my brother laugh!"
Lao Hei hurriedly got up and poured wine, although he didn't say anything, but his heart was already happy...... For so many years, the baby daughter Zhang Rui is the biggest pride of Lao Hei in the first half of his life!
Busy retracting his gaze, Boss Liang casually diverted the topic, and at one end of the wine glass, he also drank with Lao Hei.
The two talked about life from work, and then talked back to work from life, three cups of small burning, Lao Hei saw that Boss Liang's face was ruddy, and then he finally got to the point.
"I've been hearing people say that there seems to be a problem with the materials in our factory. ”
Lao Hei stared at Boss Liang's eyes and asked tentatively.
The hand holding the cup shook slightly, Boss Liang looked at Lao Hei suspiciously, and his tone suddenly changed sharply: "Who said that?"
Although Lao Hei is not smart, he is not stupid, he has been working at the grassroots level for many years, and Xiao Jiujiu still knows this clearly in people's hearts. As soon as he saw that the other party had a gloomy face and a cold tone, he knew that there was nothing wrong with this...... The hat of a black-hearted businessman, he Liang Boss is wearing it.
Seeing that Lao Hei didn't speak, Boss Liang's face gradually softened, and he whispered: "You are also smarter, the materials are all on the shelves in the hands of the foreman, and if there is a problem, it is also his problem...... I'm only responsible for the purchase of the project, and the materials are still good to me!"
At this point, Lao Hei finally understood that this so-called good friend Boss Liang had long been trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself, even if he said anything more, the other party might not be able to listen to half a word.
After a few hesitations, Lao Hei finally suppressed his words in his heart, only hoping that Boss Liang would be lost and that Daqiao would never have an accident.
Full of wine and food, Boss Liang hurriedly said goodbye, but he also deliberately told Lao Hei before leaving: "The safety of the bridge is a big matter, we must not report it on our own, otherwise many people may be implicated, including big people I can't even provoke." ”
As soon as he stepped out of the hospital, Boss Liang seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly turned around and said: "You go to the factory with me tomorrow evening, I have a fake evidence ticket for the foreman in hand, let's fight for the stolen goods and send this black-hearted person in one fell swoop!"
Bidding farewell to his friends, Lao Hei stood alone outside the courtyard and wandered until late at night.
Thinking back to his sworn expression, the old dark Dao Liang boss didn't seem to be a ruthless person, maybe it was really his own pattern that was too small and blamed him!
All day on the second day, Lao Hei didn't see Boss Liang at the work site, and he didn't receive a call until he finished work.
"Jihai, the evidence was sealed in the wall with cement, you bring the good guy to the factory to find me as soon as possible!"
Lao Hei was out of breath when he heard Boss Liang speak, and he seemed to be working very hard alone...... Without thinking much about it, Lao Hei took the tools he used to work on weekdays and ran towards the factory!
ran all the way to the factory that Boss Liang said, and looked around, except for the broken bricks and old tiles, how could there be a shadow of anyone!
took out the phone, Lao Hei was just about to call, but he didn't notice that a cement beam above his head was slowly moving its position!
Putting the phone to his ear, Lao Hei waited for a long time and no one answered, and was just about to turn around and leave, but he felt a dull pain in the back of his head, and then he lost his ......
It has been half a year since Lao Hei was injured, during which the Zhang family sold their houses and fields, and their daughter Zhang Rui also dropped out of school to work, just to save Lao Hei's life.
The mother and daughter snuggled up to each other on the hospital bench, Zhang Rui looked at the form in her hand, and her heart was dripping blood!
"No more, I'll sell everything I can sell here......" Zhang Jihai's wife looked blank in her eyes and looked down at her haggard daughter.
The pillars of the family have fallen, and their mother and daughter have tried their best to scrape together money for Lao Hei to see a doctor, and now in the face of a huge amount of money, their efforts are simply a drop in the bucket!
"The money...... I can help you pay for the ...... first."
The mother and daughter looked up when they heard the voice, and the one standing in front of them was Boss Liang, who had come to the house as a guest!
"Great, great!" Zhang Rui hurriedly got up and shook hands with him as if she had been redeemed, "Thank you so much, Uncle Liang!"
Boss Liang smiled slightly, stared at the bulge on Zhang Rui's chest with evil eyes, and said in a low voice, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first...... It's okay to help him heal, but I have one condition......"
Slowly sticking out the tip of his tongue, Boss Liang gently scratched Zhang Rui's palm with his fingernails......
Looking at her mother's dazed eyes, thinking of her unconscious father on the hospital bed, Zhang Rui silently lowered her head with tears in her eyes.
......
Maybe it was because his life should not be extinguished, but Lao Hei really began to get better after several rescue recuperations.
Looking at his wife, who has become skinny, Lao Hei's tears gushed out like a clear spring!
......
Leaning his back against the carriage door, the man in white hummed in a low voice: "Fool...... I played with your daughter, and I played with you...... In the end, I was finally discharged from the hospital, and I really thought that I paid to save you. ”
"That's all your daughter's own money, and it has nothing to do with me......"
"But since you want to repay the favor so much, it's good to catch you in!"
The man in white kept talking to himself.
Until a voice came from the window: "Boss Liang, I'm in the factory, where are you?"
