Xu Jirong saw that Ye Ming insisted on borrowing a car, so he said: "Okay, my lover bought a car last year, and she happened to be at home to take her son on the weekend, don't use the car, I'll drive it for you right away." ”

Ye Ming waited at the gate of the county party committee compound for a few minutes, and when he saw Xu Jirong driving a Toyota Camry out of it, he stopped beside him, pushed the car door down, handed him the key, and didn't ask him where he went, just shook hands with him with a smile, and then said goodbye and went in.

Ye Ming started the car, turned on the navigator, entered the destination "Xinleng County", and then followed the guidance of the navigator and drove to the southwest.

Although Beishan County and Xinleng County belong to two cities, they are not far apart, only more than 100 kilometers, and there is a provincial highway between the two counties, the traffic is more convenient, and the speed is fast, you can reach it in two hours.

Ye Ming went to Xinleng County this time for only one purpose: to pay homage to Gong Zhichao, who was executed on June 13 last year - because tomorrow is June 13, the first anniversary of Gong Zhichao's death.

Before Gong Zhichao was executed, Secretary Lu, who knew the close relationship between Ye Ming and Gong Zhichao, secretly instructed Qiu Wangxi, director of the Provincial Party Committee Office, to arrange for Ye Ming to go to the capital on a business trip for a week on June 10, and at the same time told Guo Guangwei to greet the people of the Public Procuratorate and Law of M City, and strictly seal the specific date of Gong Zhichao's execution, so as not to prevent Ye Ming from running back from the capital to see Gong Zhichao off after knowing about it.

At the same time, in order to prevent Gong Zhichao's subordinates from calling Ye Ming on June 13 and revealing the news of Gong Zhichao's execution to him, Secretary Lu secretly told Lu Nianzi to call Ye Ming to her house on the night of June 12 to meet Chen Yi and Xiao Benben, and then turned off his mobile phone and hid it while he was sleeping, and lied the next morning that Xiao Ben had lost his mobile phone, so that he could not find it for a day......

Since the execution time is strictly confidential, the relatives of the prisoners can only be notified to see the prisoner for the last time in the detention center on the day of the execution. Therefore, Fu Mengzi, Xia Jiao, Xia Feifei, Mao Lizi, Dwarf Winter Melon, and other "relatives" did not receive a notice from the public security organs until half past seven in the morning of June 13, asking them to go to the No. 1 Detention Center in M City to meet Gong Zhichao.

Xia Jiao was on the way to the detention center with Fu Mengzi and others, and kept calling Ye Ming's mobile phone, wanting him to go to see Brother Chao for the last time and see him off. However, Ye Ming's mobile phone has been turned off, and he has not replied to text messages and WeChat.

Fu Mengzi and the others were unwilling, and everyone took turns to call Ye Ming's mobile phone, but until they entered the detention center, they did not contact Ye Ming......

During the meeting, Gong Zhichao seemed to have expected that Ye Ming would not go, and did not ask him why he didn't come, but repeatedly persuaded Xia Jiao, Xia Feifei, Fu Mengzi and others not to cry, and at the same time told Fu Mengzi to take Mao Lizi, dwarf winter melon and others to take the right path, do business to support their families, and never get involved in those illegal businesses in Xinleng County again, and don't mix with those rotten gangsters and hooligans. If Kiki and her mother come back from Australia, you can go to her and help her start her business again, and the Ye Ming brothers will also help at that time!

When he said this, he whispered to Xia Jiao: He had left a suicide note for Ye Ming, which was put together with his belongings and temporarily kept in the detention center. After the execution, she could take out the relics and the letter in the name of her sister, and then transfer the letter to Ye Ming.

Fu Mengzi, Mao Lizi, and Dwarf Winter Melon heard these words on the side, and their faces showed resentful expressions.

Fu Mengzi couldn't bear it anymore and said to Gong Zhichao: "Brother Chao, don't mention that person!" He should know that today is your death day, but just now we called him a lot, sent text messages and WeChat, and wanted him to come to see you off. However, from half past seven to now, his mobile phone has been turned off, and he has not replied to text messages and WeChat.

"He did it, definitely on purpose. It is estimated that he is an official and cares about his reputation and image, so he forgot about his brother's righteousness, and was afraid that coming to the detention center to see you would affect his good future after being known by others, so he simply turned off his mobile phone. What kind of suicide note do you leave for such a person? ”

Gong Zhichao said sternly: "Fu Mengzi, you have been dating your second brother for so long, don't you know his character and personality?" Do you think he's an unrighteous person? He is in a special situation now, and he will definitely have a lot of scruples. I'm a death row prisoner who is about to be shot, and there are still people who want to use my relationship with him to manipulate him and harm him. If he comes to visit me today, if those who want to harm him find out, won't that give him a hand?

Besides, he turned off his phone today, maybe it wasn't intentional, it was a coincidence. The exact timing of my execution is kept strictly confidential, and he doesn't necessarily know. You must not be disdainful of him because of this. Later, when Kiki comes back, if you want to make a comeback, you must have your second brother's help. You can't blame him and accuse him just because he didn't come to see me off today, in that case, I won't be at ease under the Nine Springs. ”

Because they were worried that the police who were being monitored would know that they were talking about Ye Ming, Fu Mengzi and Gong Zhichao all called Ye Ming "second brother" and "that person", and did not directly mention his name.

Fu Mengzi and the others saw that Brother Chao's words were very harsh, so they didn't dare to make a sound again, but they were not convinced in their hearts, and they were still full of resentment towards Ye Ming......

At the end of the meeting, Gong Zhichao told Xia Feifei, Fu Mengzi and others: After his body is cremated, it will be transported back to Xinleng County and buried next to Chen Yuanqiao's grave in Chenjiaao, and said that Chen Yuanqiao is his benefactor and the eldest brother he has followed for half his life, and after his death, he also wants to guard him and fight against the evil spirits and ghosts in the underworld for him!

When they heard these words, Xia Feifei, Xia Jiao, Fu Mengzi and others couldn't help but cry......

When Ye Ming learned the news of Gong Zhichao's execution, it was already a month later. At that time, Xia Jiao called him to ask him to go to tea, told him about it in the box, and handed him Gong Zhichao's suicide note. After reading the suicide note, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and cried with Xia Jiao in the dark......

That night, he made up his mind: on June 13 of the following year, he must go to Chenjiaao, Xinleng County to pay tribute to Gong Zhichao and Chen Yuanqiao, but he had a wish......

When Ye Ming arrived in Xinleng County, it was already half past nine in the evening. After driving two blocks on the familiar street, a villa appeared in front of me.

This villa is the love nest where the two of them lived together sweetly when he and Chen Mengqi fell in love!
