Chapter 189: Someone Else
This coffee shop at the airport is mainly Italian, and the business is very good, and you can smell a mellow aroma from a distance. Passengers with boarding passes lined up in front of the bar, some busy choosing their favorite flavors, others bowing their heads and playing with their phones. They coexist at this moment, and they will fly to the north and south of the world later, and there may be no possibility of meeting again.
The fate of people is probably like this, when to meet and when to say goodbye has long been predestined, those who want to bypass will eventually meet, but those who are to be fit will inevitably separate.
Chiba stood in the middle of the group, but his eyes kept falling to the children's play area in the distance, which was already full of people, a group of children frolicking carefree, although a little noisy, but not causing adult dissatisfaction. Others, like her, never leave their own flesh and blood, whether they are queuing in line to order or sitting on a simple chair drinking coffee.
Of course, Song Yingchen, who is mixed with the children, is neither a child nor her flesh and blood, but she is more concerned than any parent. That young man with a face like jade, innocent eyes like an elk, a well-proportioned body, and slender fingers, but he lost his due IQ and emotional intelligence, and it seemed out of place in this world.
She has accepted the reality, and even thinks that there may be something good about this ending. Being able to turn pain into amnesia was a wish she made when she was in a welfare home, but now that Song Yingchen has done it, is it a kind of luck?
Needless to say, this thought was a bit negative, but she was still full of expectations for his future treatment. But at this moment, she asked God to give the boy more leisure and carefree time, so that he could rest and rest.
Finally, it was her turn, but she only bought an ice cream because Song Yingchen wanted to eat it. Now, she has become his only reliance in this world, and he has to be satisfied with everything he has.
What it was like to be a mother, she finally understood. Whether it is Mo Lianzhi, Lu Meiqin, or Grandma Wang or even Xin Mu, as mothers, although they have different personality attributes, they all love their children without reservation.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but miss another person. She and he don't know each other, they understand each other under the disparity of identities, and they survive in the trap of malice. She ends her deception because of love, and he makes sacrifices because of love.
She loves He Chong, just like she loves Song Yingchen, and accepts this seemingly unfocused relationship for the first time. She no longer considered it a shame, but regretted not being able to show her heart to them. If she could do it all over again, she would seize every opportunity, respect every heart, and not regret it even if she was bruised.
"Eat, eat ......"
A request that was not immature but innocent enough pulled her back from her divergent thoughts, Song Yingchen stretched out his hand and begged her for the ice cream in his hand.
She smiled knowingly and led him to find a place to sit down. Song Yingchen hurriedly took the ice cream, swallowed the saliva and put his tongue on it.
A television hanging from the coffee shop was showing an interview with an officer in a police uniform telling the host about the Elysium case.
ββ¦β¦ The Elysium case has been officially solved, and not only we, the police, but also all the citizens have fallen to the ground. Nearly 100 people involved in the case have all been arrested, and a criminal gang that has been hidden under the city for a long time has been completely destroyed, which is indeed very happy...... Yes, there are a lot of people involved, and the people involved are all so-called upper-class people, powerful, and rich, and the whole list is quite shocking...... I'm sorry, but I can't disclose this for the time being, and when we hand over the relevant evidence, the court will hold a public trial of these people...... Of course, there will never be a matter of bending the law for personal gain, and the case of Bliss Field is worth reflecting on by the functional departments, why the Lucheng police are unpopular in recent years, and the people don't believe us, in fact, it is because of our internal problems. Some high-ranking and powerful people are making trouble, as well as those so-called upper class, where money and power collude to do evil...... Trial? It should be within three months, and the instructions from above will not be delayed until the end of the year...... Thank you, this is the first time I've heard a compliment in 10 years, and to be honest, it's a bit exciting. Our police are indeed determined to get to the bottom of the case this time, but there is something that has to be mentioned here. One of the important reasons for the closure of the case came from the core evidence that we had provided by the person who provided it, and his wife was also the main culprit in the case...... Yes, it is Xin Mu's husband He Zhanting, the well-known chairman of the Aogu Group...... Sad? Of course, sad, as a wife, Mr. He definitely didn't want to see such an ending, but he chose justice and the law...... Yes, I have heard this kind of remarks, but whether it is the righteous killing of relatives or something else, I personally think that Mr. He's behavior is worthy of respect. Without the evidence he provided, we would probably still be going around in circles about the scrutiny of Xinmu, and the conclusion of the case would have been delayed...... I don't know much about this, I am a people's policeman, and I can't comment on citizens' family and private affairs...... Xin Mu must be sentenced to death, and it is difficult for the people to be outraged if this female devil does not die...... Yes, the previous disappearances were all related to Elysium, and we have verified the identities of the victims, and all of them have been merged...... Thank you, then I would like to take this opportunity to appeal to the general public, hoping that through the detection of this major case, everyone can once again build confidence in us, and we also promise to be the guardian of the city, and work with you to build Lucheng into a more lawful, healthier and more stable city......"
Seeing that this case, which has a deep and shallow relationship with him, has finally been solved, Chiba is both relieved and sad. It is gratifying that the evil demons who did evil have finally been punished, and the murderer of his mother will also be punished; It is sad that the families whose loved ones have been victimized will be relieved in the future, and whether they will be tormented by hatred for the rest of their lives like her.
At this moment of watching TV, Song Yingchen had already eaten all the ice cream, and he seemed to still want it, so he couldn't care about foaming at the mouth, and stretched out his hand to her again. Although he was insane, the look in his eyes when he made the request did not change at all, as if it was an innate ability, which made it difficult for her to resist.
But she couldn't get used to him, and was about to talk about the truth of "cold moderation", when the phone suddenly rang.
An unfamiliar number, belonging to Lucheng.
After hesitating for a long time and still not answering, she hoped that she would completely leave the city from her body to her brain and no longer have anything to do with it.
However, the other party seemed to be very persistent, and she called a second time, and she finally picked it up at the last moment.
"Hey, who's that?"
"Is it Miss Yang?"
"Are you...... Oh, Uncle Qin. β
From the hurried and frightened tone, she quickly discerned Qin Luo's voice.
"Miss Yang is not good, not good."
"What's wrong?"
"The old man had a stroke......"
"Stroke!" She stood up and sat back down for only two secondsβshe couldn't think of anything she could play in it.
"Did you contact the hospital?"
"Contacted, today the person has gone home...... Ouch, it's not this ......" Qin Luo lowered the volume, and she seemed to be able to see him covering his mouth in fear, "Miss, Miss forced him to hand over power." β
"You mean Heina...... What is the right to give? β
"Ogu, Miss wants to recapture Ogu and force the master to hand over power."
"Is she crazy, a company is really more important to her than her family? killed her own brother, didn't she have any intention of repenting? Uncle Qin, call the police, call the police to arrest her! β
Her excited voice attracted the attention of others.
"The master couldn't bear it, and told him that there was only this one child, and he couldn't send her to death."
"Hey."
He Zhanting took revenge on his son on his wife, but he was unwilling to be cruel to his daughter, which she understood very well. This is already the most rational decision a father can make in times of despair.
"Miss Yang, you are the young master's favorite person, if the young master is still here, maybe you will be a member of the family. For the sake of the young master's face, please save this family. β
"I ...... What can I do? Uncle doesn't want to hand over the company to her, what can she do? β
"You don't know, the old man is bent on finding the bones of the young master, and he said that he must be buried in the ground. But the young lady said that if she wanted to know where the young master was sunk, the master had to promise to return Ogu to her. β
The phone almost fell out of her hand, and she couldn't believe that Heina could be such a vicious person.
"Miss Yang, Miss Yang!"
"I'm ......"
"Please, even if it's to persuade you. It's not good for us to say anything, you are the young master's girlfriend, if the young master is still here, you are the daughter-in-law of this family, and the matter of Aogu can be interjected. What's more, the master told me that you signed an agreement with him, saying that you will take the interests of the young master for your own interests in this life......" Qin Luo said and cried.
She has no possessiveness for money and status, but He Chong's spirit in the sky seems to have been watching her, just like Lu Meiqin entrusted Song Yingchen to orphans, He Chong also hopes that she can take on the responsibility of taking care of her elderly father.
"Don't cry, Uncle Qin, I'll come over right away."
Hanging up the phone, she took Song Yingchen and left the airport in a hurry.
For convenience, she sent him to Xu Lan's house first. The Elysium case was solved, and Xu Lan also ended her police career, and when she saw the two people who should have flown away from Lucheng, her face was full of doubts.
"Why didn't you leave?"
"I still have an important matter to do, Uncle Xu, Ying Chen will stay with you for a while?"
"No problem." Xu Lan nodded and welcomed Song Yingchen into the house.
"Then I'll go first and I'll be back soon."
"Chiba." Xu Lan stopped her.
"How?"
Xu Lan looked preoccupied and rubbed her eyebrows in embarrassment.
"There's something I wasn't going to tell you......"
"What's the matter?"
"Let's not talk about it, I'm imagining the picture of you and Yingchen living a peaceful life away from right and wrong." He waved his hand, as if sorry for his abruptness.
"Uncle Xu, you are not an indecisive character, why are you talking weirdly today?"
What caused Xu Lan to stop talking was the blessing of the two of them, but what made him speak was the perennial pursuit and persistence of justice.
"I'm a rigid person, I want everything to be as it is, and it's what it is. If you say something wrong today, you don't mind. β
"It's okay, you say."
"During the interrogation of Xin Mu, she told me something about your mother."
The knot in his heart, which was easy to open, became entangled again, and Chiba still couldn't hide his excitement and sadness.
"What did she say?"
Xu Lan first asked: "Have you always suspected that she killed your mother seventeen years ago?" β
"Yes, I investigated, it was the queen of the night, isn't she the queen of the night?"
Xu Lan continued to ask with a complicated expression: "Did she admit it to you in person?" β
"I don't remember." She couldn't remember the day she got into the car.
"She admitted to me that she wanted your mother's life back then, and pushed people down, but ......"
"But what?"
"Your mom was pushed downstairs, right?"
"That's right."
Xu Lan stared at her intently, and a sweat broke out on the tip of her nose.
"Xin Mu said that she pushed your mother down the river back then, not downstairs."
"How is that possible!" A thunderclap exploded above her head.
"She wanted to hurt your mother, and she did it, but that was more than twenty years ago. I wondered, could you be mistaken? β
"How is that possible! She's lying! β
"No, she shouldn't have lied, she knew she was dead, so why bother to confuse the public. To put it mildly, I'm not afraid of your heart, the things in Elysium are much worse than hurting your mother, and she has no reason to talk about things that have been going on for so long. β
Feeling that his legs seemed to be cut off by something, Chiba sat down on the ground with a bang. Xu Lan wanted to help, but she waved her hand weakly, and Xu Lan had no choice but to squat down with her.
"She knows we know each other, so let me relay to you that she's sorry for what she did to your mom before. We chatted about this topic for a while, and then realized that the timing didn't seem right. Song Yingchen also told me that your mother was pushed downstairs seventeen years ago, and Xin Mu insisted that she didn't do it. β
"Then why did she tie me up in the Elysium, and why did she go to Lancheng to take my mother's life?"
"Ahh
Xu Lan was shocked, and she told him what had happened before.
"She didn't mention it...... No, it's not that I didn't mention it, it's that I don't know at all! Yes, I'm sure! β
Chiba only felt that the sky was spinning.
