Chapter 14: The Truth Ten Years Ago

Because he was afraid that his only son would be laughed at by others if he married a disabled person. Influence you. Influence your Jiang family. Because he knows you well enough and he knows me enough. He knows I don't want to be a burden to you. He also knows that only 'death' can make you give up on me."

"How many dehumanizing things your father has done behind your back. When my dad had an accident, he not only didn't help, but also cleared up the relationship. After my dad committed suicide in prison. I know it's cold. But Uncle Jiang and my father are comrades-in-arms who have been born and died. Not only did he not help, but he wanted to kill me. How could he be so cruel"

In the car on the way home. Jiang Hao repeatedly recalled these two sentences of Xiao Tianai. Xiao Tianai spoke of this past in an almost accusatory tone and attitude. It's enough to prove how much her father hated what he did back then.

If what she said was true. He himself could not understand and forgive his father.

The Jiang family and the Xiao family are world friends. Jiang Zhizhong and Xiao Shi joined the army together when they were young. Let's go to Vietnam to fight the war. Die for the country together. The two of them are like brothers. Woe. Angry and shared.

Men are out defending their homes and countries. The woman is raising her children at home. In the family compound of the military district. Jiang Hao and Xiao Tianai are on the other side of the door. Two children have been playing together since they were young.

The turning point was just ten years ago. Suddenly one day. It's midnight. Suddenly, the sound of a police car came from the family compound. The police knocked on the door of the Xiao family. Then Xiao Shi was escorted away.

Jiang Hao will never forget that scene. Uncle Xiao has a death-defying expression. Aunt Xiao and Xiao Tianai have been wiping tears non-stop. Holding Uncle Xiao's hand, he kept saying take care and take care.

Then. Crazy words spread in the family compound. It is said that Xiao Shi must be corrupt and bribery. But no one has confirmed this.

When it first started. Jiang Zhizhong was in a hurry. But since I went to the detention center to visit Xiao Shi. Jiang Zhizhong was silent.

Aunt Xiao didn't say anything. Just stay at home all day. This is also something that Jiang Hao has never been able to understand. Something happened to the husband. Being a wife just stays at home. Do nothing. Surprisingly calm.

Then. Jiang Hao has been accompanying Xiao Tianai. Ask her. And she wept. She doesn't know anything.

Soon after, the news came that Xiao Shi had hanged himself in the detention center.

In the middle of the night. Aunt Xiao cried like crazy. After that, it was stupid. It didn't take long. One night. She committed suicide by swallowing two bottles of sleeping pills.

Xiao Tianai always thought that her mother was resting in her room because of her father's death. Until dusk. She thought about how her mother could bear it without food all day. So I went and knocked on the door. There was no response from the door for a long time. The more she thought about it, the more wrong it became. Hurriedly went to the opposite side and called Jiang Hao to kick the door open.

Everyone found out. Person. Already stiff.

Then. Jiang Hao also asked Jiang Zhizhong what crime Xiao Shi had committed. Let's not talk about the briefing. Not even a little news. It's just that there is rumor in the family compound that Xiao Shi committed suicide in fear of sin. But what exactly is the sin. No one knows. It's weird.

Jiang Hao's mood was extremely heavy. He has his hands on the steering wheel. Put your right foot on the throttle and keep speeding up and speeding up again. It's been ten years. So far. He just found out. It turns out that Xiao Tianai doesn't know anything. It turned out that his father, Jiang Zhizhong, did not do nothing. They all lied to him. Or rather. They're all hiding.

Of course. He was not involved in this matter. Whether he knows it or not is secondary. Merely. Ten years later, I stumbled upon this incident and also involved Jiang Zhizhong's personality and character. He had to find out.

He always looked to his father as a role model. Goal. For heroes. He did not allow his former lover to use words like "dehumanizing" to describe his father.

What's more. He thinks he knows Xiao Tianai very well. As everyone knows, she actually hides a lot of things from him. For example, the "suicide" of the year, for example, the bullet casing.

Public and private. He had to find out what happened to Xiao Tianai

Jiang Jia. Jiang Zhizhong and Lin Caiyin are eating. The screeching sound of brakes came from outside. Both were taken aback.

Lin Caiyin put down her chopsticks and walked to see." Who's out there? It can't be some drunkard who has recklessly broken into the courtyard of someone else's house."

Just about to open the door. The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. I almost hit her.

"Oops, mom. A Hao. How can it be you? What's going on with your burning fire?"

Jiang Hao pulled Lin Caiyin. But his eyes were looking at Jiang Zhizhong." Dad." He walked briskly over. Get straight to the point and ask." What the hell did Uncle Xiao die of ten years ago?"

Jiang Zhizhong was stunned for a moment. With the vegetable leaves on the chopsticks. It's all falling.

Lin Caiyin said: "Ah Hao. You're rushing home to ask about it. It's been so many years. It's none of your business. Your Uncle Xiao died a terrible death. I have a good relationship with your dad. Why do you ask your dad again to make him sad?"

Jiang Hao was silent. He looked straight at his father. In a questioning attitude.

Jiang Zhizhong unhurriedly picked up the greens again. Eat as if nothing happened.

"Dad. You tell me quickly." Jiang Hao asked.

Jiang Zhizhong turned his head to look at him. Asked: "Why are you asking me about Uncle Xiao today. Didn't Xiao Tianai say something in front of you?"

Knowing the son is more than the father. He saw at a glance what was going on.

didn't wait for Jiang Hao to speak. Jiang Zhizhong smiled faintly. Go ahead. What did Xiao Tianai tell you....... Might as well. You tell the truth. What else is there to hide between our father and son?"

Jiang Hao took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Tianai suddenly disappeared in the capital back then. We all thought she couldn't think of committing suicide. It's not something you want her to do. What did you threaten her with? And Uncle Xiao. What kind of crime did he commit back then?"

Lin Caiyin listened. It's cool and cool in my heart." What's what. This Xiao Tianai still dares to mention these two things in front of you....... Old man. Are we underestimating that girl? I'll just say it. She shouldn't have been indulged in the first place. It's good now. Not only did she have to make inches. The wicked person sued first and wanted to provoke our feelings with Ah Hao. She's so vicious."

Jiang Hao was even more puzzled. Pressed after his father." Father. Mother. Tell me the truth. I'm going to find out the truth. It's not that I'm obsessed with her. It's my job. I've got to find out everything about her."

Jiang Zhizhong frowned. Jiang Hao's words were turning a corner and suing him. He is investigating Xiao Tianai. He didn't ask. Because he knew it was an order from his superiors. Jiang Hao can't say it to the outside world. These are things that need to be kept confidential.

"Dad. You tell me quickly."

Lin Caiyin sat Jiang Hao down. I also brought him dishes and chopsticks." Talk while eating. It's all connected. I can talk for half a day."

Think back to the past. Jiang Zhizhong sighed. And can't do anything about it. He regretted it. It's also very sad. I didn't remember the absolute look in my old comrade-in-arms in prison. And he was sad. I feel sorry for Xiao Shi.

"Ah Hao. It's not easy to love that girl. Since the day she came back. Your mom and I were worried. I'm afraid you'll fall into it again. But good thing you don't. You've really grown up. With a family. With responsibility. It's even more self-contained. I hope you will listen calmly to what I have to say. After that, go home peacefully and get a good night's sleep. Go to work tomorrow. Then go to your work and sort it out."

Jiang Hao nodded. Father was so cautious. More and more makes him feel the strictness of things.

"Your Uncle Xiao didn't commit suicide in fear of sin. He's just a scapegoat. And he did it willingly. Ten years ago. He took annual leave to take his wife and daughter to travel to Jiangnan. There was a car accident there. Hit and kill someone. The car is driven by Xiao Tianai. She chose to run away at that time. Their car was stopped at the exit of the city. The traffic police saw blood on the front of the car. I also received a report from the masses. grabbed Xiao Tianai. Xiao Shi was also a powerful man in the capital. But to the field. The power is discounted. And it's inconvenient for him to come forward directly. So he went to Governor Wang over there......"

Speaking of which. Jiang Zhizhong sighed heavily. Xiao Shi just said to Governor Wang, I hope he can come forward and let the police over there not be too embarrassed Xiao Tianai. After all, he's over there, and he can take care of a little more things. But. Governor Wang misunderstood what Xiao Shi meant. He was in order to tie up Xiao Shi. Just put this matter down. He told the family of the deceased that the murderer had not been found. and put Xiao Tianai back."

"That car accident received a lot of attention back then. Hit the dead and escaped. This is an extremely egregious crime. The National Police Agency broadcasts daily reports on the investigation of the case. But it's all some ambiguous clues. Paper can't hold the fire. It didn't take long for Governor Wang to fall from power. It was all about the accident."

Xiao Shi knew he couldn't escape. persuade Xiao Tianai to turn himself in. But that girl. Hum. The next day, he went to the police station and denounced his father. said that her father Xiao Shi was the driver who drove and killed someone. She's so good at reversing right and wrong. Obviously he drove his own car and killed someone. actually said that it was Xiao Shi. That's her real father. I've lived so big. I've never seen the daughter of such a white-eyed wolf."

"Helplessly, Xiao Shi loves this daughter too much. He was so sad that he admitted it. A high-ranking official with high authority. Became a sinner who escaped from a car accident overnight. But it happened suddenly. No one dared to interrogate him. The reason I know this. He told me when we met in the detention center. He trusts me. So tell me the truth of the matter. He begged me to keep it a secret. But he doesn't want his daughter to do whatever she wants after escaping her guilt. So many years of old comrades-in-arms and old brothers. He knows me. If he opens this mouth; I'll help him."

"Silly. I asked him to lose his life's reputation and future for this kind of daughter. Is it worth it. He said the value. Everything he did was for this daughter. He couldn't bear to watch his only daughter go to jail."

Hear here. Jiang Hao felt a kind of panic with a chill in his back. Be cautious.
