Chapter VII: Released from prison
Xiaoxue, if there is an afterlife, I must be a capable person and protect you well!
This was my last thought before I died, and it was also the last little desire in my heart, after which I completely emptied my brain and let my whole body fall towards the raging sea!
I was about to return to the sea, but at the moment when I fell forward, a large hand suddenly grabbed me by the back of the collar and dragged me back from the edge of the cliff.
My body instantly stood on the cliff, but my soul had already flown away, I thought I would go to another world, I thought I was about to be completely liberated, I was ready to die, but who knows, I didn't die, this feeling, it's really not good. It was as if I had a dream, one foot had stepped into the ghost gate, but the other foot was still in the world, as if the soul and body were separated. It took me a long time before I finally came back to my senses, and then I slowly turned my eyes to the guy who had dragged me back from hell to earth.
This is a man, about forty to fifty years old, his appearance is very popular, but I look a little familiar, after thinking about it, I remembered that this person is the middle-aged man who pretended to be a beggar on the overpass that day, and now he wears a suit and leather shoes, looks decent, and his hair is combed in an orderly manner, looking like a successful person in the past, how can there be a little shadow of a poor beggar.
I stared at him for a long time, and then I curled my mouth and said with a little displeasure: "Why are you?"
When the middle-aged man heard my words, he immediately put on a high-level appearance, and said to me incomprehensibly: "Yes, it's me!"
Looking at him like this, my heart was even more irritable, this man seemed to be very nosy, that day I was going to be a beggar, he taught me a lesson, and now I finally mustered up the courage to commit suicide, and he sabotaged me again. I stared at him in a daze, and said angrily: "Why do you want to save me, don't I even have the qualifications to die?"
The middle-aged man looked solemn and replied seriously: "You have the right to commit suicide, but why do you want to commit suicide?"
Why suicide, this reason is not clear in a sentence or two, for me, it is full of too much unspeakable suffering, I will not tell anyone, let alone reveal my heart to this stranger in front of me, so I directly and briefly perfunctory: "I am a useless waste, living too much, meaningless, so I want to die!"
The middle-aged man looked at me and said solemnly: "Are you a wreck?" I don't think so, how can a person who is not even afraid of death be a wreck!"
Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, this seems to make some sense, but I still haven't changed the idea of making a decision, and I don't bother to talk too much nonsense with a middle-aged man, so I said directly: "You don't have to persuade me, I just don't want to live!"
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and asked me, "You are not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of living?"
A question made me freeze again, I think the middle-aged man is very artistic in speaking, and he easily wrapped me in, I can't help but think about the question he throws, he is right, I even have the courage to die, why don't I have the courage to live?
I groaned, there was some hesitation in my heart, and after a while, I looked at the middle-aged man again, his expression was always calm and serious, and his language art was also very strong, I remember, last time on the flyover, he also persuaded me in three or two words, so that I was willing to pick up the garbage, and today he came here to talk to me a lot, what did he want to do?
In any case, this person is certainly not simple, and his purpose in saving me is also worth speculating, I stared at him carefully, and then asked in a deep voice: "Who are you, why are you here, and why are you saving me?"
When the middle-aged man heard me ask, he immediately said to me with a more sincere attitude: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I can help you, to be honest, I have been observing you for several days, I think you have the spirit of hardship and hard work, and you have the courage not to be afraid of death, you are already a manufacturable material!"
Since I ran away from home, I ran into walls everywhere, I couldn't do anything, and finally I could only fall into picking up garbage, which is also the main reason why I lost confidence, I feel like I am a complete waste, but now, the middle-aged man actually said that I am a material that can be made, although the truth of this may not be high, but it also really gives me a little hope, if he can really help me, let me do something, then, do I need to die?
After struggling for a long time, in the end, I couldn't help but ask him, "How can you help me?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he suddenly showed a secretive look again, and said to me leisurely: "I can take you into the industry and enter a mysterious profession, so that you can have no worries about food and clothing, if you mix well, you will make great achievements in the future!"
Hearing this, I finally woke up, I felt like a basin of cold water poured down on my head, I immediately realized that this middle-aged man was clearly fooling me, he grasped my heart to get ahead, and deliberately lured me into their line here, even if I have no social experience, I will not be stupid enough to be at the mercy of others, so I simply rejected him: "Do you want me to be like you, pretending to be a beggar and deceiving people? Sorry, I'm not interested!"
The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, then waved his hand and replied: "No, no, you misunderstood, how can you be like this, I have a very low-level job, and I can find someone to do it." What I want you to go to is a big organization, as long as you make a name for yourself, the future is immeasurable!"
The big organization, it sounds very tempting, but I know very well, this must be a gang that can't be on the table, I was abducted and trafficked when I was a child, and I know more or less about this thing, the middle-aged man in front of me, tried his best to observe me, and came to help me in a good way, his purpose is not to fool me into this so-called big organization, his nature, and pyramid schemes should be no different, the middle-aged man is naturally not a kind person, he must be profitable to help me. I couldn't fall into his trap at all, and I didn't turn around, and said straight: "You introduced me over, there should be a benefit fee, right?"
After listening to this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but look at me, and then, he said to me openly and honestly: "It seems that you are also an expert, since this is the case, I will not go around the bend with you, although I am a charlatan, but I did not lie to you, I really want to introduce you to the big organization, this is a very famous theft group in China, which hides dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many talents." As long as you work hard and are willing to work wholeheartedly, the future will be limitless, and it will be no problem to walk sideways in the future. Since you don't want to live in a nest, why don't you try it? But I have to tell you in advance that doing this kind of thing is also risky, and if you don't do it, you will have to go to jail, and even die, but you are not afraid of death, so you don't have to care about this at all, I fancy you for this!"
After speaking, the middle-aged man grinned again, and added obscenely: "Of course, I still have a little benefit, and I can't work in vain, you say yes!"
Obviously, the middle-aged man had already made his purpose clear, and he also handed over his details and didn't hide anything.
After listening to his words, my eyes suddenly became extremely determined, and I almost didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Okay, I'll go!"
The middle-aged man was a little incredulous when he saw that I was unusual, and suddenly became so refreshed, he looked at me with wide eyes, and confirmed, "Have you thought it through? I'm not joking with you?"
I nodded and said solemnly: "Think about it, I'll go!"
At this moment, my heart was like a rock, and my eyes were sharp.
After the middle-aged man was convinced, he immediately laughed and said happily: "Okay, I really didn't mistake you, I'll take you there." Brother, you will succeed in the future, but don't forget me, my name is Du Changxin!"
Then, Du Changxin officially brought me into the theft group full of darkness and infinite mystery, X Group!
-----
Five years later, the Imperial City Prison, which is the top prison in the country, is full of high-level criminals, and ordinary criminals are not eligible to enter this prison, and I am being held here. However, unlike the other prisoners, I was held in a separate room, isolated from everyone.
Sitting in the room, I looked out the window with an expressionless face, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, and for several hours, I didn't move. Five years, has given me too many changes, I am no longer the original young and ignorant teenager, from the inside out, I am completely reborn, I am tall, strong, mature, my eyes, but also become gloomy and vicissitudes, as if to see the ups and downs of a lifetime.
In the afternoon, a uniformed policeman opened the door, walked in, and said to me, "You can get out of jail!"
