001. Luck won't be too bad
On the day of Ruojiao's death, I had just packed a fried rice noodle from the food city, and Xiaomei made a phone call, and she cried on the phone and told me that something had happened in the clubhouse and asked me to come over quickly.
I didn't say a word at that time, I hung up the phone and threw the fried rice noodles on the table, and rushed there, the police were handling Ruojiao's body in the room, the white sheets were blood-red, the ground was messy, condoms, chains, torn clothes, and men's underwear were all lying on the ground, allowing people to step on them back and forth.
Xiaomei and I stood at the door and watched for a while, Ruojiao's body was carried out by the police, there was not a single strand on her body, her face without a trace of blood kept the pain of death at the last second, her lower body was still bleeding continuously, and even the stretcher was dirty.
A female policeman casually covered Ruojiao's body with a layer of white gauze to cover her last broken and miserable state.
Xiaomei had been enduring it, but when the body was lifted by the police and passed by us, Xiaomei couldn't hold back anymore, she cried, she said: "Ruojiao died in the guest's bed, the guest has a special habit, Ruojiao's hands and feet were all chained, and a wooden stick almost the thickness of a woman's wrist was used to stab Ruojiao's lower body, I heard that it hurt the organs in the body, when Ruojiao was found, the sheets were all blood flowing from her lower body." ”
When I heard this, I didn't come back for a long time, I didn't expect that Ruojiao, who told me yesterday morning that she wanted to make money and send it home, died so tragically tonight.
Xiaomei was still sobbing and crying, she was full of fear and asked, "Sister Liang Sheng, will we have such an end one day?" I don't want to, I still want to go home, I don't want to stay here, I want to go back to my mom. ”
Xiaomei is only twenty years old, still very young, in the face of such a thing, and is so intuitive to contact death, naturally afraid and panicked, she looked at me anxiously, as if trying to find her reassuring answer from my face, but I couldn't answer her at all.
In the dusty land, being played by men, being oppressed by the powerful, and shrouded in darkness, everyone is living a life that today does not know tomorrow, and who can guarantee the future?
I could only smile at her and give a relatively pertinent reply: "We shouldn't be so unlucky, don't worry." ”
Xiaomei listened to my words, and finally put down her snacks, everyone believes that their luck will not be too bad, and so am I, we are all fighting for our luck.
Not long after the police carried Ruojiao's body out, the manager called us and asked Xiaomei and me to go to her office.
When we arrived at the door of her office, she was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette, and when we got inside, the manager asked Xiaomei and I if we knew anything about Ruojiao's family.
Ruojiao has not been in the club for a long time, only a few months, I have only heard her say that there are two older brothers in the family, but one brother is a fool, the other brother is lame, and there is a seriously ill mother in the family, and she is in urgent need of money, so she is forced to come to such a place.
The club is not very comprehensive about her, I usually go out to eat with her, I only heard her gossip a few words, the manager called us in to ask, probably to let Ruojiao's family come to pick up her body.
I told Manager Xu as much as I knew the news, she listened, she sighed lightly, snuffed out the cigarette in her hand, and said to us: "There will be a long holiday in the club these days, and the police will investigate and deal with it for a few months. ”
At this critical time when it was difficult to protect myself, I asked Manager Xu: "Has the person who killed Ruojiao been caught?" ”
Manager Xu sneered and said: "I was arrested, but I don't know if I will be locked up, but the person who killed Ruojiao heard that the background is very large, and it is estimated that they are all pretentious." ”
Seeing that the cigarette butts in the ashtray had not been completely extinguished, Manager Xu picked up the paper cup on the table and poured a little water into it, and she said: "You also know that in today's society, money is the last word, and human life is not worth anything." ”
I frowned and said, "That's it?" Don't lose money? If the three members of Jiao's family are waiting for her to provide for her, and she dies, what will happen to her mother and brother? ”
Manager Xu raised his eyes and looked at me and said, "Now that the club is in a state of closure, where can I manage so much?" Naturally, these things are managed by the police. ”
I heard Manager Xu answer like this, I didn't ask any more, the three of them were relatively speechless for a while, and when I was about to pull Xiaomei and the manager to leave, the manager suddenly said to me again: "Liang Sheng, you stay, I have something to say to you." ”
I stopped, and Mei looked at me with confusion in her eyes, and I patted her on the shoulder and motioned for her to leave first.
Xiaomei said to me: "Then I'll wait for you outside, I want to sleep with you tonight." And he went out.
There were only two people left in the room, me and the manager, her attitude was softer than before, she asked me to continue to sit on the sofa, then got up and went to the water dispenser to pour a glass of water, and when she reached me, she handed me the glass, I immediately reached out and took it, I knew that the manager must have something to say to me.
After she sat across from me, she lit a cigarette again, and I saw her brows furrowed tightly in the smoke, and after a while, the manager said to me, "Liang Sheng, Sister Xu, please ask you for something." ”
I held the glass and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Sister Xu said: "That's right, you have a guest who has been booking your guest for a long time, you should know who it is." ”
I thought for a moment and asked, "Shen Boteng?" ”
Sister Xu said: "Yes, it is Shen Boteng, Shen Boteng of Yuansi Group." ”
I said, "What do you need me to do?" ”
Sister Xu got straight to the point and said: "Liang Sheng, if the club is finally closed, I, the person in charge, will be implicated, and I don't know what punishment will be given by the top at that time, but I think it won't be too good, I want to ask you for help and help me ask for mercy in front of Shen Boteng, you should also know that the Shen family's background is definitely not just a businessman." ”
Sister Xu said very vaguely, and she asked again: "Do you understand what I mean?" ”
I said: "But my relationship with Shen Boteng is not so good, except for him to keep me for a whole year, we occasionally meet once or twice, he is abroad most of the time, and occasionally comes back to find me, even if I see him, he will not necessarily help us." ”
Sister Xu said: "I checked, it will be Shen Ting's sixtieth birthday banquet in a few days, and Shen Boteng, as a son, will rush back to celebrate his birthday, and it will take a while for the seizure here, I hope you can help me find a way in this half a month." ”
I hesitated, because this matter is really difficult to handle, and the most important thing is that I have no relationship with Shen Boteng at all to the point where I can beg him for such a big thing.
Sister Xu suddenly got up from the sofa and knelt directly in front of me, I was so frightened that I immediately got up and wanted to pull her up, but Sister Xu refused, she said: "Liang Sheng, you are the person who has been with Sister Xu for the longest time, and you also know that compared with others, I have always preferred you, assigned things to you, and always thought about you in the best way."
Just like today's Ruojiao, they are also my people, but she has to pick up guests every day, and the treatment and money she takes are different from yours, in your year, except for dealing with Shen Boteng, basically no one dares to do anything to you, if, that day I gave Ruojiao's guests to you, today's Ruojiao is your end.
But Sister Xu didn't, Sister Xu knew that you couldn't deal with such a guest, Liang Sheng, today is my begging for you, help me this time, I am also desperate. ”
To be honest, Manager Xu has indeed given me a lot of care and help in the past few years, and what she said just now is indeed right, if she assigns Ruojiao's guests to me, maybe I am today and what Ruojiao is doing now.
I thought about it, maybe I can give it a try, and then I'll talk about whether it works out or not.
In the end, I said to Sister Xu: "I'll try my best, but Sister Xu, my ugly words are ahead, I don't promise that it will work, but I will do my best." ”
Sister Xu said, "Okay, thank you very much." ”
After I finished chatting with Sister Xu, I went home, and when I went to bed at night, Xiaomei's whole body was buried in my arms and shivering, she seemed to be afraid, and she never opened her eyes.
I'm not much better than her, as long as I close my eyes, all my eyes are full of smiles, as if they will appear in front of me at any time.
During the time we didn't work, Xiaomei has been living with me, and when I lived here until the fourth day, Sister Xu sent me a text message, which was the information about the landing of the flight, and I deleted the information after reading it.
On the fifth day, I sent a text message to a string of numbers with no notes, just two words, miss you.
It didn't take long for an unfamiliar number to send me a text message back, with only a string of numbers in it, but this number made me breathe a sigh of relief.
At seven o'clock in the evening, I told Xiaomei that I had something to do tonight and would not come back, and let her rest by herself. Xiaomei knew that I had a task today, so she didn't say anything, but said that I should come back early tomorrow.
When I left home, I went to a big hotel in the city early, and when I arrived at room 8045, the first thing I did was to take a shower from the bathroom.
After washing, Shen Boteng hadn't arrived yet, I sat in front of the makeup mirror in a daze, and I didn't wipe my hair for a while.
It wasn't until someone hugged me behind me that I came back to my senses, and just wanted to look back at him, when a pair of hands covered my eyes, and the person behind me hugged me gently kissed the left side of my neck. ”
I leaned into his arms and whispered, "I suddenly realized that I hadn't seen you for a long time." ”
