Chapter 196: The Secret That Can't Be Told 3
At this moment, Tan Xize's mind turned two results:
If he resists, if Chen Chen is injured, according to the extent that Zhang Zhe protects the calf, he must be dismantled first after he comes back; If she didn't resist, Chen Chen's current state was obviously reminding Tan Xize that she was telling the truth, the warm blood in the major arteries and the cold blade in her hand formed a strong contrast, and even Tan Xize felt trembling. Even if you don't look at the above and don't consider Zhang Zhe, Chen Chen's current background alone is worth Tan Xize to stay calm. The small groups on the dark side respect each other when they are not hostile to each other, and he will not rashly attack other people's heavy generals, which is tantamount to a war letter.
I can't hide from the way I look today. Tan Xize waved his hand: "All go out." ”
"Mr. Tan!" The subordinate was surprised and reminded him that he was in danger now.
"It's okay, let's all go out." He re-emphasized.
The subordinates all took a hesitant attitude and slowly left, and Chen Chen let go of Tan Xize and put away the knife in his hand. It was her eyebrow razor, and she wasn't stupid enough to bring a knife to Tan Xize, but most people ignore women's small belongings. She put the knife in her pocket: "Ziang, you go out too." ”
Zhou Ziang slowly left and brought it to the door, Tan Xize straightened up, staring at the firewood burning in the fireplace, not knowing what he was thinking. She dragged a chair and sat down next to Tan Xize.
Although he decided to say it, this secret, which had been suppressed for more than ten years, had made Tan Xize develop the habit of keeping his mouth shut, and he needed a medicine primer to open the conversation, and then tell it logically.
"How do you know that Zhang Zhe is missing because of the secret between us?"
Chen Chen was anxious in her heart, but she could understand Tan Xize's mentality, the secret that had been suppressed for so long made him tell it, and he needed a foreshadowing. Zhang Zhe had been hiding from her secret, and now that she was about to know it, she didn't feel nervous and frightened in her heart.
"Zhang Zhe quietly went out in the early hours of yesterday morning and didn't take his mobile phone. I asked all my friends, but no one knew where he was. There is a message in the phone. With that, she took out the mobile phone in her pocket and handed it to Tan Xize.
I know your secrets. Just staring at these words made Tan Xize feel cold, he returned the phone to Chen Chen, and refocused his attention on the burning firewood.
"Zhang Zhe and I really met when we were waiters in the hotel." He began to tell the story in a whisper that he had always felt that only he and Zhang Zhe should know: "Back then, in this house, in this room, the person who died in my bed was not actually killed by me. ”
Chen Chen had already premonition his next sentence in his heart, but he still began to add all possible contingencies to himself in his mind. Fear does not mean that you can not face the facts. Tan Xize was ready to say the next sentence. His lips touched up and down, and he whispered his name.
"It was Zhang Zhe who did it."
Chen Chen didn't move, but her fluttering eyelashes betrayed her surprise. So Tan Xize's entire unexpected story, is it going to switch to Zhang Zhe?
"There are so many versions of my story that I sometimes make up crashes myself." Tan Xize tugged at the placket of his clothes and wrapped his body, as if he still felt very cold in the face of the burning flames.
"You're a child from an ordinary family, and you can't imagine how we grew up. The original owner met me at the hotel, my mom was on chemotherapy at the time, and my dad was a gambler and had emptied the house. I needed money, so I agreed to be his lover. But he was a sadist, and I couldn't stand it for about a month, and I proposed to him to find someone. He asked me to look for it for fun, and I went back to the hotel for a few days to work, and..."
He lowered his head, then lifted it up again, as if to cheer himself up.
"Then I tricked Zhang Zhe over." Tan Xize smiled a little hard, as if he was just talking about the experience of teasing his classmates together when he was studying, and seemed to feel that he was not easy enough, he continued: "Zhang Zhe is very good-looking, this must be admitted." ”
Chen Chen could guess the next story, but she didn't know how to react yet, so she had to spread her legs and prop her elbows on her knees and bend down.
"That day, he was tied to a chair and watched how I cooperated. Zhang Zhe was frightened, and I still remember the way he looked at me. I persuaded myself that he would get used to it, but I didn't expect that Zhang Zhe was not a submissive person. In order to make it easier for him to move, Zhang Zhe tied his hands together and tied them to his chest, and he strangled the man to death on the bed in this position. Tan Xize stretched out his arms and leaned together and made a gesture. He didn't gesture, Chen Chen could also think that Zhang Zhe took advantage of the man's unpreparedness, stretched out his arm from behind him and put it on his head, and then tightened it back and strangled his throat.
Tan Xize closed his mouth, he felt that he had explained it clearly. Chen Chen was now concerned about the secret between them, not the story of how he won this place after Zhang Zhe killed the master here. That's his story, not what Chen Chen cares about.
"Maybe it's retribution, my mother still didn't get back in the end. My dad was also being chased for debts, and when he ran away, he fell off a bridge and drowned in the sea. He turned to look at Chen Chen, this was the first time he looked directly at Chen Chen in this chaotic story: "In the past, Zhang Zhe felt ashamed to let me keep it secret, but now I decided to continue to grit my teeth because I was afraid that you would dislike it." It started because of me, and it should end with me. I will find Zhang Zhe and give you an explanation. ”
Tan Xize was afraid that Chen Chen would be estranged from Zhang Zhe because of this, but he didn't expect her thinking to jump to the loophole of this question: "You said that only you and Zhang Zhe know this secret." Chen Chen turned his head to look at him.
"Well, only Zhang Zhe and I know that he killed the person, and the rest of the people think it's me." Tan Xize's voice was very low, he relied on this to make a foreshadowing to win here, and this secret should continue to be wrong.
"Only you know, so why would the person sending this text know?"
Chen Chen's words hit the nail on the head. Tan Xize also became puzzled, and after a while, he said: "I encountered a lot of resistance in the process of ascending to the top, and it is not that no one suspects that it is not my hand. Perhaps it was the opponents who leaked their own inferences. ”
"The original old subordinate?" Chen Chen asked
"Those who oppose me have either surrendered to me or have already been killed by me. Two of the fish that slipped through the net were smuggled to the United States. ”
Chen Chen thought of the only enemy he had there: Luo Yangfan.
She quickly stood up and picked up the phone and called Qiqi: "Where is Luo Yangfan now?" ”
"Huh? Yes? Kiki was woken up by her sleep, and her brain couldn't keep up with the speed of her speech: "Isn't that kid waiting to die in prison?" ”
"Kiki, Zhang Zhe is missing, I need you to cheer up now!" She yelled to wake up the groggy Qiqi: "You go and check, find out who has seen Luo Yangfan recently, and who he is close to in prison." Hurry up, please. ”
Hearing her anxious voice, Kiki finally regained consciousness, and she got up and hurriedly responded.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Chen stood up and walked out quickly to leave, Zhang Zhe was still waiting for her, he had already figured out the clue, and now he had to hurry up.
Tan Xize stopped her.
"Chen Chen, I'll solve it. Neither you nor Zhang Zhe's current identities are suitable for doing such shady things. ”
He is right, once the media finds out that Zhang Zhe is gone, then the next thing to face is everyone's doubts and bombardment, people like them, who do a little wrong now will be infinitely magnified. The most important thing for Chen Chen to do now is to stabilize his mind and pretend that everything is as usual.
But Chen Chen shook his head: "He must be waiting for me, I can't wait stupidly." ”
The back of her departure was as firm as a monument, and Tan Xize was a little in a trance.
"What you did for Zhang Zhe, is it worth it?"
Tan Xize asked the most important question in the whole story, is it worth giving up the law fund for Zhang Zhe and taking risks for Zhang Zhe.
Chen Chen stopped his steps, as if thinking about this question, but what turned in his mind was Zhang Zhe's gentle face, his big eyes that bent like a crescent moon when he smiled, and the caution he was worried about when she left. She straightened her suit and put down her rolled sleeves: "He's worth it." ”
He deserves it, deserves his own firm super-self to walk through.
Luo Yangfan's assistant finally got the hang of it, and he felt that he had thought of an incomparable method. When he went out to buy food, he bought two laxatives at the pharmacy and poured them into a water bottle. Luo Yangfan, who trusted him very much, did not doubt it and drank water in a normal order.
The pharmacy owner didn't lie to him, this is the fastest effective medicine, and in less than five minutes, Luo Yangfan held his stomach and told him to take care of Zhang Zhe, and ran down alone.
Seeing his back disappear at the stairs, the little assistant ran to Zhang Zhe and took out a knife to cut the plastic cable ties and ropes on Zhang Zhe's wrists. The plastic cable tie that had sunk into the flesh felt a pain in the heart the moment it was torn open, like cotton thread pulled raw from the flesh. Zhang Zhe frowned and endured it, and whispered 'thank you'.
"Let's go!" He hurriedly pushed Zhang Zhe.
But after being tied up night and day, Zhang Zhe's legs were numb and couldn't feel it at all, and as soon as he stood up, he couldn't support it and knelt on the ground, and there was a heart-piercing pain in his ribs, reminding him that his bones were either cracked or broken. He supported Luo Yangfan's assistant on the shoulders and stood up, stumbling out.
His car was still parked in place, the car keys were in the hands of the little assistant, he opened the car door and helped Zhang Zhe into the co-pilot, closed the car door and planned to go around. The co-pilot's door had just been closed, but Luo Yangfan's angry scolding and running sound were heard in his ears.
