019: Confrontation
β¦β¦ It was Lao Zhang's organization that killed my parents back then?
In addition to being shocked, I also kept recalling my uncle's words. In other words, two years ago, those people took away my home, and now they want to solve it even with me?
But if you really want to solve me, wouldn't it be better in private? There's no need for such a roundabout approach. I couldn't figure it out for a while, and I snapped on the sofa with one hand and asked my uncle:
[So how did they die?] What the hell happened in between?! γ
[Wait, I can't tell you this.] γ
The sudden refusal made my blood rush to my brain, what kind of trouble is this person?!
I just got to the point, and now I'm selling it again! Actually, he's just kidding me, right?
However, this thought only accelerated the blood in my brain even more, and I grabbed him by the collar with one hand:
[I finally had this opportunity to know the truth! At the funeral two years ago...... Not a single person told me the root of the matter! I helped my parents into the ground without knowing almost anything, you know that feeling! Yes?! γ
Just as I was yelling at my uncle, suddenly the car made a sharp turn. I was instantly thrown away by the centrifugal force of the turn, and my body suddenly moved uncontrollably close to the side of the car door.
Before I could come to my senses, the car had come to a sharp stop on the side of the road. The sound of the tires rubbing against the ground is also clearly heard in the ears.
γWhat ......γ
Before I could finish speaking, the driver in the front seat skillfully pulled out a small black pistol from his waist and turned his head to aim the muzzle at my eyebrows.
Neither of us spoke, so it was a stalemate for about 10 seconds before my uncle clapped his hands and came out to be a peacemaker:
[Okay, okay, put the gun away.] Tian is just joking with me, don't be too nervous. γ
Since my boss has said so, the driver can't continue to stare at me. I saw him put the gun on his holster again, and drove the car forward again.
It feels really bad to be pointed at gunpoint, although I know that he is just trying to protect his boss, but while I admire the driver in my heart, I also have a very unhappy disgust.
[Ah Tian, few people know the beginning and end of your parents' affairs. But I dare say that although I don't know much, all I know is true! γ
[Then say it, say as much as you know!] In the face of the truth, I was obviously a little angry.
[You kid...... How dare you speak to Brother Bin like this...! γ
The driver was probably very unhappy with me too, and he hadn't seen a few people who dared to talk to his boss like this. But that's good, just because I don't like him, it seems that I'm too stingy.
Compared with the driver's attitude towards me, my uncle's tone was much calmer: [It's not impossible for me to say it, but on our side, there is an unspoken rule. γ
γβ¦β¦ What rules? γ
[Exchange of information.] γ
This time, my uncle's speech was very refreshing. However, the so-called exchange of information ...... So I know something he doesn't know? I sat up straight and said:
[Okay, what do you want to ask?] Just ask. γ
[Hmm.] You're the last person to come into contact with Lao Zhang, right? So, have you ever seen an iron suitcase? γ
[Huh...... Boot? γ
[Anyway, there are liarkids in it, Lao Zhang, that guy, it should be packed in a suitcase.] γ
What is that... Lying kids? It's the first time I've heard this name, and I shook my head in the clouds:
[I've never heard of it!] Boot... I'm not impressed. γ
When my uncle heard me say this, he took a deep puff of cigarette again, and after exhaling it, he frowned again, and said solemnly:
Don't get me wrong. In fact, I can ask Lao Zhang about this matter, but I can't bear to see that you don't know anything, so I just give you a chance to understand the truth. γ
Originally, I wanted to say something, but looking at my uncle's resolute expression, I had to sigh helplessly and think quietly in the car.
An iron trunk...... When did I see it?
Suddenly, I remembered that there was a big blind spot in my uncle's words, and asked:
[Wait!] Uncle, what did you just say...... Am I the last person to come into contact with Lao Zhang? In other words, is that iron suitcase related to Lao Zhang? γ
[Hmm.] γ
[The liarkids in the suitcase...... What did it come about? γ
[I can't say this. γ
β¦β¦ Never mind. With that answer, the scope of recollection can be greatly narrowed. It has something to do with Lao Zhang...... Or the last place I met him, there is no doubt that it was the store, right?!
The Matter of Stolles...... The only thing I can remember is that I fought with him, and the others didn't pay much attention at the time.
What's more, I listened to Ah Jun's dictation in the subsequent development, and I didn't know much about this matter!
[Uncle, I really haven't seen any suitcases. At that time, Lao Zhang and I were fighting outside the Store, how could I pay attention to where he put it? γ
Hearing me say this, he bit his lower lip and didn't speak. At this time, I could also see from the front window that the car had driven into the city center and was ready to get on the highway.
γβ¦β¦ Then I can't tell you about my parents. You hit Lao Zhang and I will be affected by this, and I will tell you the information for free, then you will make too much money! Believe me, there are some things that I don't know are happier. γ
It's this sentence again, this is what TV series and movies say the most, right?
What does it mean that the less you know, the better? If that's someone else's business, this certainly applies! But this is a matter of life and death for my parents, can you not know about this kind of thing?
Although I can't remember my childhood, my parents have always been by my side since I was sensible! Even in the first 12 years when my memory was blank, they must have taken care of me wholeheartedly!
Looking at my uncle's expression again, I'm afraid that no matter how much I ask, he won't answer me. And if you ask again, maybe the driver will protect the owner again, so it is better to think about where the suitcase in my uncle's mouth appears.
Since I didn't say anything all the way, I was quietly thinking about it while holding my cheeks.
The scenery outside the car window has changed to the central square that I came to yesterday, and I'm afraid that it won't be long before the car arrives at the Tianduhui community where I live, right?
"I said, oh my God. γ
In a quiet carriage where only the sound of air conditioning was heard, it was the uncle who spoke first to break the silence.
[Huh? γ
[You said you wanted to know how your parents died...... Good! If you know, what will you do? γ
This is really an unexpected problem...... yes, what do I want to do when I know that?
No, it should be said, what can I do?
The power of someone else's leader, you don't have to think about it, you can definitely stab me to death with one finger.
But what about me?
[Or maybe that's what I ask.] Seeing that I didn't speak, my uncle sighed and said: [You don't have to think about anything now, go to and from school on time every day, fight with your classmates and live a stable life for another day, and the truth of your parents' affairs.
Which is more important to you? γ
γβ¦β¦οΌοΌ γ
[What's wrong?] Don't know how to answer? Seeing that I didn't answer, my uncle lowered his voice and asked again.
β¦β¦ Although I don't want to admit it, from the moment I was caught in the car by the driver Ade, my mind was full of regretful thoughts. This already makes me feel like I am a person and I have a lot of ideas.
- If only I hadn't messed with that old Zhang in the first place!
- If I had bowed my head and confessed my mistake to him, things would not have turned out like this!
- I'm going to apologize! If I was willing to apologize to that organization and get beaten up once of my own volition, they would have let me go, right?
Feelings of remorse such as this still filled my heart until just now.
When the speed of the car gradually stopped, I looked out the window and realized that I had reached the gate of Tianduhui.
My uncle's words just now gave me too much shock and a strong sense of shame, so I just opened the car door without saying a word and got out of the car. Then he watched the car roar away with the people in the car.
β¦β¦
ββCan I have the realization of sacrificing my life for the sake of a truth that I don't know if it's worth it or not?
I couldn't help but think this as a strong autumn breeze swept across my cheeks.
