Chapter 12: Hidden Secrets
After listening to the second uncle's story, Wang Shao's heart was as heavy as lead.
To say that this matter has nothing to do with him is false.
The words that Zhang Qiu said echoed in his ears, and Zhang Qiu's desperate eyes for help appeared in the box of Haizhou Hotel that day, and Wang Shao suddenly felt that this matter was exactly related to him.
I still remember that Zhang Qiu once strongly asked to ask for help, and when he saw Ding Guoyan for the last time, he had a long-cherished wish in his heart.
It's a pity that he only cared about looking for Yunqiu and wanting to help Xiaoqing catch Luo Chengyun at that time, so he ignored the true meaning of Zhang Qiu's words.
Perhaps, it was his own negligence that added a burden to Zhang Qiu's psychology.
Later, after seeing Ding Guoyan, he was snubbed, which undoubtedly made Zhang Qiu's despair unbearable, so that he made a move to hurt Ding Guoyan.
Hate arises because of love, and as deep as love is, hate is as deep as it is.
Although Wang Shao has not really loved yet, he can still understand the meaning of this sentence.
It was Zhang Qiu's love and hatred that led to the harm.
The more he thought about it, the more Wang Shao felt that this was the case, and immediately continued: "Second uncle, I am to blame for this matter." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Xiaofei's father stand up with a "whew", and answered with a surprised face: "What, is this really your baby's doing?" ”
I didn't expect Xiaofei's father to react so much, if he didn't explain it again, I was afraid that Xiaofei's father would misunderstand.
The second uncle stood up and stopped Xiaofei's father, and said lightly: "Don't worry, listen to what Xiao Shao said." ”
Wang Shao casually continued: "I mean that I am to blame for this matter, and I did not say that I instructed him to do this matter." ”
Then, Wang Shao roughly said what Zhang Qiu said to him in the box of Haizhou Hotel.
Wang Shao's explanation made Xiaofei's father suddenly realize, and he muttered to himself: "In other words, that Zhang Qiu originally wanted to talk to Xiao Ding, but he didn't expect Xiao Ding to ridicule him, and then he couldn't figure it out, so he injured Xiao Ding?" ”
"That's how it should be." The second uncle continued: "At that time, I also felt that Xiaojie and Xiao Ding did a little too much, but I didn't expect that Xiao Ding would be injured by a man surnamed Zhang later. ”
Seeing that the second uncle and Xiaofei's father finally understood what they said just now, Wang Shao breathed a sigh of relief and re-lit a cigarette.
There was a moment of silence in the courtyard, and all three of them were smoking cigarettes, each with their own thoughts.
After a long time, Wang Shao asked as if he had an understanding: "There is something I haven't understood yet, you said that the three of them were in the room at the time, why didn't Xiaojie stop Zhang Qiu from injuring Manager Ding?" ”
The second uncle nodded and said, "I thought so too, I asked Xiaojie afterwards, but the baby didn't want to say anything, so she played dumb riddles with me." ”
As he spoke, the second uncle let out a low sigh.
From this low sigh, there is helplessness about the whole thing.
Why is Xiaojie reluctant to say more, is there any little-known secret between the three of them?
What happened between them that day, and why did Xiaojie let go of the murderous Zhang Qiu?
These questions still need to be investigated, but Wang Shao didn't say it, what he cared about was Xiaofei's affairs.
Following the second uncle's low sigh, Wang Shao also exhaled a long breath, casually comforted him, and then changed the conversation and mentioned Xiaofei's matter.
Originally, I came here today to find Xiao Fei, and when I saw Xiao Fei, everything else seemed less important.
When it came to Xiao Fei, the second uncle and Xiao Fei's father couldn't help but glance at each other, a little tacitly.
Wang Shao saw it in his eyes and asked casually: "Second uncle, I came today just to see Xiaofei, and there are some things I want to tell her in person." ”
While saying this, Wang Shao suddenly felt that he was a bit like Zhang Qiu at the beginning.
Perhaps, this is how Zhang Qiu ran to find Ding Guoyan, and after his full hope was hollowed out, he made a radical act that hurt people.
Perhaps, in the case of unclear words, Wang Shao may also act excessively.
Wang Shao suddenly felt that in fact, Zhang Qiu was quite pitiful.
Seeing that Wang Shao was determined to see Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei's father let out a heavy sigh, sat down slowly, and re-lit a cigarette.
Judging from Xiaofei's father's performance, it seems that it is difficult to see Xiaofei.
A strange feeling came to his heart, and Wang Shao immediately asked, "What do you mean by sighing?" ”
The second uncle patted Wang Shao's shoulder and explained slowly: "What he means is that if you must want to see Xiaofei today, then you will be disappointed." ”
"Why?" Wang Shao had already guessed, but he couldn't help but ask.
"Because Xiaofei is not at home." The second uncle replied lightly: "Soon after Xiaojie and Ding Guoyan disappeared, Xiaofei also disappeared. ”
Wang Shao's eyes widened wider than a bull's eye, and he blurted out: "Xiaofei is not at home?" ”
"Hmm." Xiaofei's father lowered his head and answered, not daring to look directly into Wang Shao's eyes.
It's clearly a thief!
"No way, Xiaofei may not be at home." Wang Shao didn't believe it at all, and retorted casually: "When I came in just now, why didn't I hear from you. ”
Wang Shao's questioning made the expression on Xiaofei's father's face a little unnatural, which strengthened the speculation in Wang Shao's heart.
They are looking for excuses, and they don't want to let themselves see Xiaofei.
"I don't care, I must see Xiaofei today." Wang Shao stubbornly repeated, smoking the cigarette between his fingers fiercely.
The second uncle sat down next to Wang Shao, and said earnestly: "Xiaoshao, don't be like this, Xiaofei is really not at home, she has already gone out." ”
"Where did she go, and why didn't you let me see her?" Wang Shao replied angrily: "When we were in the provincial capital, you asked Uncle Xiao to take Xiao Fei away quietly, and what did you say that you must have an economic foundation before you can be with Xiao Fei, but now I just want to see Xiao Fei and say a few words to her face to face, isn't that okay?" ”
The second uncle looked bitter and sighed: "Xiaofei is really not at home, if you don't believe it, you can go inside and have a good look." ”
If you want to hide Xiao Fei, how can you let her stay in the house?
Wang Shao snorted coldly: "You don't want me to see her, of course you won't let her be at home." ”
The implication is that the second uncle and others hid Xiao Fei, and even if they went in, they couldn't find it.
Who knew that the second uncle continued in a loud voice: "Xiaofei is really not at home, I can guarantee it." ”
"Really not at home?" Wang Shao looked around at the expressions of Xiaofei's father and second uncle, and asked rhetorically, "Then where did she go?" ”
"We don't know about that." The second uncle replied lightly, and at the same time unconsciously glanced at Xiaofei's father's expression.
It stands to reason that Xiao Fei is gone, and they should be very anxious.
But looking at the current Xiaofei's father and second uncle, with a calm expression, where there is a little anxious look, but like an outsider, calmly watching the progress of the situation.
Especially the second uncle's sentence "can be guaranteed." It's even more unnatural.
For a moment, Wang Shao felt like he had been deceived.
Recalling the first time he went to Xiaofei's house to find Xiaofei, Xiaofei's father's attitude, and the later conversation with Xiaofei's father, Wang Shao judged that the second uncle and Xiaofei's father in front of him must be lying.
Although it is not clear why the second uncle and Xiaofei's father lied, Wang Shao believes that they must know where Xiaofei is now.
With this in mind, Wang Shao boldly asked: "Second uncle, you don't have to lie to me anymore, if you really don't know where Xiaofei is, why are you still staying at home safely, why don't you hurry up and look for it?" ”
One sentence made the second uncle and Xiaofei's father speechless.
Indeed, when Xiaojie just ran away from home, the second uncle was so anxious that he did not hesitate to ask Wang Shao to come forward to help find and persuade Xiaojie to go home.
Now that Xiao Fei is gone, they are staying at home steadily, this situation is not like they don't know Xiao Fei's whereabouts at all, but more like waiting for Wang Shao's arrival.
Perhaps, from the moment Uncle Xiao San quietly took Xiao Fei away from the provincial capital, they were waiting for this day.
Today, Wang Shao finally came to the door.
Seeing that the second uncle and Xiaofei's father were asked, Wang Shao was angry, and then counted all the indignation that had been hidden in his heart for days.
At the end, he added: "I don't care where you hide Xiao Fei, I just want to know why you want to break up me and Xiao Fei." ”
Seeing that the matter could no longer be hidden, and the paper couldn't contain the fire after all, the second uncle continued in an unusually low voice: "Xiaoshao, I know that sooner or later you will come to the door, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." ”
This sentence is tantamount to admitting Wang Shao's number just now.
Since you admit it, you have to have an explanation.
Wang Shao suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and patiently listened to the second uncle's explanation.
"Xiao Shao, do you know why I asked everyone else to go out just now?"
Hearing these slightly mysterious words, Wang Shao couldn't help but raise his head to look at the old face of the second uncle.
I saw that the second uncle's face was solemn, as if he was about to announce something important.
Although Wang Shao still doesn't know what the second uncle will talk about next, he knows one thing very well, what the second uncle will talk about next should be related to Xiaofei.
Xiaofei's father suddenly interjected: "Second brother, why are you saying this to this kid?" ”
The second uncle waved his hand and continued: "This kid is also related to Xiaofei, sooner or later he has to find out the matter, it's better to say it today." ”
Sure enough, there is a secret to hide!
Wang Shao's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little, staring intently at the expression of the second uncle, eager to dig the answer out of the second uncle's mouth immediately.
"Didn't you say before that you would have to wait another two years?" Xiaofei's father glanced at Wang Shao's Chinese face, and stopped talking.
The second uncle let out a long sigh and said lightly: "Look at Xiao Shao's momentum today, if you don't tell him the truth, I'm afraid he will demolish this place." ”
The second uncle's words are not an exaggeration.
If he didn't figure out the situation today, Wang Shao would definitely be furious and go crazy and act very radically.
The second uncle has been in the society for so many years, of course, he can see the anger that Wang Shao has accumulated in his heart.
Seeing that the second uncle insisted on disclosing the truth, Xiaofei's father did not raise any further objections.
Wang Shao couldn't wait and urged the second uncle to speak quickly.
With a low sigh again, the second uncle told Wang Shao a story that happened to Xiaofei many years ago.
