Chapter 188: Troubled Conscience
Lin Dong walked out of the door with his mobile phone, his face was cold and scary, and the people sitting at the table with him all felt abnormal, and they all turned their heads and asked what was going on.
He walked outside the door and asked in a deep voice, "What happened to Ni Juncai?" ”
"He's dead." Tan Minghui said.
Ni Juncai's car was hit by a large truck, overturned more than ten meters away, and when he was taken to the hospital, he had already lost his breath. Tan Minghui described the tragic situation at the scene, Lin Dong felt chills all over his body, and an irrepressible sense of guilt surged in his heart, thinking that if he hadn't told Liu San about Ni Juncai's financial situation, Liu San would not have gone to collect debts, and Ni Juncai would not have been chased and intercepted today, and there would have been no tragedy of car crashing and death.
"Alas, miserable, when the accident happened, his wife and children were waiting for him at the gate of the park, and they witnessed the tragedy." Tan Minghui said in a heavy voice.
Lin Dong hung up the phone, looked at the big red festive lantern hanging at the door of the hotel, and the table was opened, and a series of firecrackers sounded outside the hotel. His tired body dragged his heavy steps, walked back to the banquet hall upstairs, took the wine glass and toasted Liu Datou and Yang Min with a glass of wine, didn't eat a mouthful of food, put down the wine glass and left.
Gao Qian saw his depressed appearance, and didn't know what was going on, so she immediately chased him out, and when she arrived at the door, she found that Lin Dong had already driven away. She was very worried about Lin Dong's situation, and she didn't have time to say goodbye to Liu Datou and his wife, so she took the car and chased it out.
As soon as Lin Dong arrived at home, Gao Qian also arrived. He didn't go upstairs, he stood downstairs, and the small snowflakes that were still small in the morning had now turned into a heavy snow of goose feathers fluttering in the sky, and the wet and cold north wind carried the heavy snow and hit him in the face.
Gao Qian ran to his side, took out a tissue to wipe the snow off his face, and asked anxiously, "Lin Dong, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lin Dong didn't answer, and said lightly: "Qian, you go into the house, let me stay quietly alone for a while." ”
"It's so cold, it's snowing heavily, you wear so little, you'll freeze to death!" Gao Qian tried hard to pull him into the elevator, but Lin Dong seemed to be standing on the ground and couldn't move.
Gao Qian was stubborn, "Okay! You like self-harm, don't you, I'll be with you. She stopped persuading him, stood next to Lin Dong, and accompanied him to blow the wind and drink the snow.
In less than five minutes, Lin Dong found out that Gao Qian was really here, and when he touched Gao Qian's hand, it was freezing cold. He knew Gao Qian's stubborn surname, and knew that if he stood outside for a minute, she would stand with him for a minute, sighed, and turned around to hug Gao Qian in her arms.
"Let's go home."
When he arrived at the house, Lin Dong poured a cup of hot water for Gao Qian, and hurriedly went to boil ginger tea, his body was very good, he was afraid that Gao Qian would catch a cold.
"Dong, in my heart, I have long regarded you as my husband, and I will not hide anything from you, on the contrary, you have something in your heart, but the headquarters told me. You say, don't you love me enough? Gao Qian pursed her lips and asked.
Lin Dong saw her frozen purple face, his heart was full of guilt, and said: "Qian, I don't tell you, it's because it's all unhappy things, it's enough for me to bear it alone, I don't want you to be uncomfortable." ”
"What the hell is wrong with you today? You've never been so out of shape. Gao Qian asked.
Lin Dong let out a long sigh, "Qian, there are some things you still don't know. I thought that after two years of crawling in society, there was nothing I couldn't bear, but today I found that my heart is much softer than I think. ”
"That's because you're a good person! Only good people are soft-hearted! Gao Qian said.
Lin Dong shook his head, how could he be a good person, how could a good person kill others. He is to blame for Ni Juncai's death, think about it carefully, Ni Juncai has no deep hatred with him, but he indirectly killed him. He couldn't bear it for a while, and he urgently needed someone to talk to, so he told Gao Qian what happened.
“…… I'm playing capital, I'm not a robber who kills people and sells goods! Lin Dong's heart was full of self-blame.
Gao Qian comforted him and said: "I don't remember which celebrity said that capital came to the world, from head to toe, every pore was dripping with blood and filth. Sometimes, you do things that you can't even think of will lead to. Lin Dong, your starting point is not to kill someone, his death was an accident, and you don't have to blame yourself at all. ”
Because Gao Qian was born in such a family, her heart is much harder than that of ordinary people. From the perspective of a bystander, she analyzed the incident more accurately and clearly than Lin Dong, the authority.
"No matter what excuse I make, his death is, after all, indirectly caused by me, and although I don't have to bear legal responsibility, my conscience can't get by." Lin Dong got up and poured the boiled ginger tea, "Qian, hurry up and drink it, don't catch a cold." ”
Gao Qian drank half of it and left half for him, "This thing is too hard to drink, I won't drink it, you drink the rest." ”
Lin Dong knew that this was Gao Qian's love for him, and pushed the cup in front of her, "I have a strong resistance, I won't do anything, so you should drink it." ”
"It's an order!" Gao Qian's face tightened, looking like if you don't drink it, it will be with you, Lin Dong had no choice but to drink the rest of the ginger tea.
"You really shouldn't have run away from Datou and Yang Min's wedding today, what would he think in his heart." Gao Qian said.
Lin Dong also felt that he had not considered what he had done, but he couldn't stay in such a festive environment at that time, "I will apologize to the big head, I don't think he will blame me." ”
"I'm hungry, let's get something to eat. It's a sin to put a good banquet and not eat it. Gao Qian said.
Lin Dong didn't have any ingredients at home, so Gao Qian cooked some noodles with her hands, and the two of them ate them. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Qian left Lin Dong's house, and after a while, Lin Dong also left home and drove to Xizhou City.
The snow was still falling from the sky, and there were no cars on the highway, but because the road was slippery, he didn't dare to drive fast. When I arrived in Xizhou City, it was already more than six o'clock in the evening. He drove to the site of Ni Juncai's accident, the scene had been cleaned, and there was no trace of a car accident.
He parked his car at the entrance of the park and looked at the three-way intersection not far in front of him for a while. Today, there is one more unfortunate family in the world, a woman has lost her husband, and a child has lost her father. He can't get rid of it, people can't come back from the dead, but he has to do something about it.
Lin Dong got into the car and drove slowly to the hotel where he was staying.
The next morning, Lin Dong got up early and called Tan Minghui to ask where Ni Juncai's family lived. When he arrived at the riverside garden and came to the door of Ni Juncai's house, he saw a group of porters busy coming in and out.
"May I ask if this is Ni Juncai's home?" He stopped a porter and asked.
The man replied, "I don't know, but go and ask the Lord." ”
Lin Dong saw a middle-aged woman who was directing the porter to place the furniture, and stepped forward and asked, "Hello, may I ask, is this Ni Juncai's home?" ”
The middle-aged woman looked at him and said, "It used to be, but now this house belongs to me." He has already sold it to me. ”
Lin Dong thought about it and understood why Ni Juncai sold the house. If he wants to run away, he will definitely need money. In desperation, he had to drive to find Tan Minghui and ask him to help find out where Ni Juncai's wife and children had gone.
Tan Minghui has a wide range of contacts on the territory of Xizhou City, and he asked for the address of Ni Juncai's hometown in a few phone calls.
"Brother, Ni Juncai's hometown is in Nijia Village, Pingshan Town, east of Xizhou City, about seventy or eighty miles away from the city." Tan Minghui said.
Lin Dong said: "Second Brother Tan, thank you, I'll leave for Pingshan Town now." ”
Tan Minghui grabbed him and asked puzzledly: "Brother, Ni Juncai is dead, don't you even plan to let his wife and children go?" ”
Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Second Brother Tan, am I such a ruthless person in your heart?" ”
Tan Minghui shook his head and asked, "Then what are you looking for his wife and children?" ”
"I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me. Second Brother Tan, Ni Juncai is dead, I feel guilty and anxious, and I want to do something for his wife and children. ”
Tan Minghui nodded solemnly, "You are not familiar with the road in Xizhou City, I will take you there." ”
The two shared a car, and Tan Minghui drove to the countryside. When he arrived in Pingshan Town, Tan Minghui got out of the car and asked someone how to get to Nijia Village, and the man told him to drive along the road to the west and see a river, and the village on the bank of the river was Nijia Village.
Nijia Village is not far from Pingshan Town, and they drove forward for more than ten miles, and they saw a river, and there was indeed a wide river on the other side of the river. Tan Minghui drove the car into the village, met an old farmer at the entrance of the village, and asked, "Master, how do you get to Ni Juncai's house?" ”
The old farmer was clearing the snow outside the door, raised his head and looked at them, and saw that they didn't look like bad people, so he said, "Just ahead, the most dilapidated house in the whole village is theirs." Alas, the family is unfortunate......"
The road in front was narrow, so Lin Dong and Tan Minghui got out of the car and walked, and walked forward for about two hundred meters, and saw a dilapidated tiled house, which looked like no one had lived in it for a long time, and the big iron gate was already rusty, and I couldn't see what color it was.
"There are buildings all around, but this is the only tiled house, which should be here." Tan Minghui said.
Lin Dong took a deep breath, "Second Brother Tan, let's go in and have a look." ”
The two men stepped forward, the door was hidden, and they knocked on the door, but there was no reply, so they pushed the door and entered.
Walking into the small courtyard, his eyes were full of desolation, Tan Minghui sighed: "This courtyard should have been built in the eighties of the last century. ”
Ni Juncai is the son of a farmer, he is very smart in reading, and later he played abnormally in the college entrance examination and was not admitted to university, so he joined the army. Later, when he returned from the army, after a few years, his parents were castrated, and he also went to Xizhou City to wander, except for the taboo of his parents every year, he rarely came back. Later, when he got rich, he didn't tear down the house left by his parents and rebuild it.
"Anyone?" Tan Minghui roared in the courtyard.
"Uncle, my mother has fainted, come and save him." A teenage child rushed out of the broken house, with beautiful eyebrows and a small face that turned white with fright.
Lin Dong rushed into the house and picked up Zhang Qianfang, who had fainted on the ground, and Ni Xiaoming ran after him and slipped and fell. Tan Minghui didn't say a word, picked Ni Xiaoming up from the ground, and followed Lin Dong to the door. Lin Dong hugged Zhang Qianfang and ran to the parking place at the entrance of the village.
Tan Minghui arrived half a minute late, panting, and white mist sprayed from his mouth, "Brother Lin, why are you running faster than a rabbit?" ”
"Get in the car and take her to the hospital." Lin Dong said in a deep voice and put Zhang Qianfang in the back seat. Tan Minghui sat in the front row with Ni Xiaoming in his arms.
Lin Dong drove straight to Xizhou City Hospital, and he was relieved until he sent Zhang Qianfang to the emergency room.
"Kid, why did your mother faint?" Lin Dong asked Ni Xiaoming.
Ni Xiaoming said: "My father died, and my mother kept crying, so she fainted." Uncle, will my mom die? "The ten-year-old child doesn't understand the pain of Sangqin, and from his innocent face, there is not much sadness.
Lin Dong hugged Ni Xiaoming into his arms, "Little friend, don't be afraid, your mother will be fine." ”
Zhang Qianfang was pushed out of the emergency room very open, she had already woken up and changed to the general ward. Lin Dong asked the doctor, Zhang Qianfang was fine, but she was too sad. Lin Dong and Tan Minghui walked towards the ward, and when they entered the ward, they saw that Zhang Qianfang had already gotten out of bed and were about to pull Ni Xiaoming away.
"You're too weak to get out of bed." Lin Dong said.
"Mom, these two uncles sent you to the hospital." Ni Xiaoming pointed to Lin Dong and Tan Minghui.
Zhang Qianfang's face was pale, without a trace of blood, "Thank you." Xiao Ming, let's go. I'm fine, don't spend money in the hospital. ”
Zhang Qianfang has never gone out to work, she has been teaching her husband and children at home, all her previous expenses were given by Ni Juncai, and now that Ni Juncai is dead, she has no money left.
"Eldest sister, you can rest assured. We are all friends of Boss Ni, and after hearing about him, we felt very sad. Eldest sister, that's the case, we are here today mainly for the investment that Boss Ni invested in us in front of him. Lin Dong said.
Zhang Qianfang looked nervous, "Does he owe you money?" ”
Lin Dong said: "No. He participated in a project with us a few years ago, and now that he is gone, you are the beneficiary of the investment. Principal plus income, we should give him a total of 10 million, this money, we will send it to you tomorrow, you can recuperate in the hospital, don't worry about medical expenses. ”
Zhang Qianfang had never heard of Ni Juncai's investment in any projects outside, but when she thought about it, 10 million was not a decimal, even if there was a Lei Feng who did good deeds in this world, there was no such a generous Lei Feng. Ni Juncai didn't tell her about the business before his death, she thought about it, it should be that he really invested in a certain project. With these 10 million, their orphans and widows will have a settled life.
"Thank you. You're all good people. I don't know what my husband invested during his lifetime, and if it weren't for your kindness, I wouldn't have known that there would be such a sum of money. Zhang Qianfang cried again.
"Eldest sister, you have a good rest, we will leave first, and we will come back to you tomorrow."
Lin Dong and Tan Minghui left the hospital, and Tan Minghui patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother, ten million! Don't you know that you are distressed? It is difficult for Tan Minghui to understand his approach, he has no objection to being a good person, it is enough to give tens of thousands of yuan, but this shot will give 10 million, which is really more philanthropist than a philanthropist.
"Distress is distress, but if 10 million can be exchanged for peace of mind, I am willing to change." Lin Dong smiled slightly.
Tan Minghui sighed, "No matter what, I can't reach your realm." Brother, brother admires you. ”
The two got into the car, and Lin Dong sent Tan Minghui home and said to him: "Second Brother Tan, I have to trouble you next." I won't go tomorrow to give you the money, I'll give you the check tomorrow morning, and you can help me get it to their mother and son." ”
"Why?" Tan Minghui asked puzzled.
"Alas, no, it's actually my weak heart."
Tan Minghui didn't ask anymore, and nodded, "Okay, this matter is simple, I'll do it for you." ”
……
When Wang Hai learned the news that Ni Juncai was hit and killed by a car, he didn't come up in one breath and fainted.
"It's over......"
In the evening, Wan Yuan had just returned to Xizhou City after attending an awards ceremony, and Wang Hai, a wine glass, called over.
"What's wrong with you?" Wan Yuan saw Wang Hai's lifeless appearance and asked.
"Ni Juncai is dead!"
When Wan Yuan heard this, he almost fell down in fright, "Lao Wang, you are confused, you killed him, who will clean up that mess!" ”
Wang Hai shook his head, "I didn't kill him, he was hit by a truck and died." ”
"What the hell is going on, you know." Wan Yuan asked anxiously.
Wang Hai rubbed his face and carefully stated what he knew.
Wan Yuan listened to it and slapped his thigh, "Oops! My 100 million! Lao Wang, I complain about you, I have to wait until 70 yuan to ship! It's good now, it's all lost! ”
Wang Hai was scolded by him, and he also became angry, "Damn Lao Wan, if you hadn't proposed to let Ni Juncai talk to Lin Dong about cooperation, would you have been able to have this matter today!" I haven't fucking complained yet, you did. ”
The two looked at each other hatefully, eager to strangle each other.
After a long time, Wan Yuan calmed down first and sighed, "Old Ni died strangely, Lao Wang, let's stop complaining about each other." You send someone to investigate and investigate and figure things out. We're talking about what to do. ”
Wang Hai nodded, "I know how to do it." ”
The next morning, Lin Dong gave Tan Minghui a check for 10 million and drove him to the hospital.
"Second Brother Tan, you go in, I'll wait for you at this door."
Tan Minghui shook the check in his hand, "Such a big sum of money, aren't you afraid that I will swallow it privately?" ”
Lin Dong smiled: "I can trust you. ”
Tan Minghui smiled and got out of the car. After more than ten minutes, he came out and handed Lin Dong a note, "This is a handwritten receipt signed by Ni Juncai's wife, which can prove that I sent the money." ”
