There is a figure in the distance, obscuring the light source.

Chiba hoped that the man would move a little so that he could see the road ahead.

"Hello, can you give it a moment?" She pleaded, but the other party turned a deaf ear.

So she had to take the initiative to avoid it, but no matter how she adjusted the angle, the figure always stood in front.

"Please give way." She said it patiently again.

"Yang Qianye, what did you come to Lucheng for, I think you have forgotten it." The figure suddenly opened its mouth to speak.

"You, you are?"

"Hmph, if you want to break through the maze and take revenge, you need to go to Lucheng to find out what ......"

"Ah, chocolate, it's you!" Chiba was surprised and delighted, but after the surprise, he was a little weak.

"I really forgot, I was trapped in the private affairs of my children all day long, and what deep hatred and hatred had already been thrown out of the clouds by you."

"No, no, I didn't!"

"Then why did you tell me to come to Lucheng for?"

"Find the murderer and avenge my mother!"

"Remember to avenge Mo Lianzhi, I thought you would only think about spring!"

"No, no, I didn't, you talk nonsense......" Chiba was ashamed, annoyed and a little guilty when she heard her mother's name mixed in with an insulting word.

"Phew, don't admit it, you like that kid, and your mind is not on business at all! Don't look in the mirror, just your virtue, you want money or no money, you don't even have a home, what qualifications do you have to like others! If it weren't for the blood feud on your back, your life would be meaningless. You are the most inconspicuous ant on the earth, and I kindly sent you to the tree, so that you could stand high and see far, but you went into the soil. Waste, no interest! ”

The chocolate scolded him, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Chiba cried and begged: "Don't go, listen to me, it's not what you think." ”

Chocolate stopped and slowly turned his head.

"I came to Lucheng for only one purpose, that is, to find out the real culprit and give my mother justice. Chocolate, I haven't forgotten my blood feud for a moment, I've been waiting for you, please believe me. ”

"Believe? Hmph, you don't believe me at all, don't think I don't know. ”

"You asked me to come to Lucheng, and I came, and I changed jobs when I asked me, how could I not believe you?"

Lu Meiqin also said the same thing, what is the result? You're like her, you talk about trust, but you don't think that way in your heart. ”

"It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just in a hurry, and you haven't contacted me for so long. When I thought of my mother lying alone on the hospital bed, I didn't know when I would ...... I'm afraid, I'm afraid I can't wait. ”

"I've survived seventeen years, what's the urgency for such a while?" As if remembering something, Chocolate approached her, "Speaking of which, you, like the one surnamed Lu, think I don't know the truth at all, don't you?" ”

"No, it's not......"

Although he said this, Chiba was beating a drum in his heart. She did wonder about the mysterious man who was not very punctual, and thought that a steady stream of information would come to her, but the chocolate whetted her appetite. She didn't know if it was a necessary process or a means of the other party. On another level, she couldn't figure out in what capacity Chocolate held the truth, and what position she stood to help her.

But as she said to Lu Meiqin, without a mysterious person, the truth would only be a dream bubble for her, and the needle under the sea - seventeen years of no turnaround situation and endless pain have long confirmed this truth.

Therefore, chocolate is her hope, her desperate gamble, and if she loses her help, it is equivalent to losing her faith and persistence.

Fortunately, Chocolate regained his patience and warned her: "You have to figure it out, it will take time to get closer to the truth." ”

"I know, but why can't you tell me directly for so long?"

"I'm doing this for your good, and only by taking your time can I arouse your courage and determination to take revenge. I repeat, there are only three paths in front of you, either wait patiently, or find it yourself, or ...... Regret for life, death without turning a blind eye. ”

She was terrified, especially when she heard the description of the third way, which was terrifying just to think about.

"Can you tell me why you're willing to help me?"

"Pathetic. There are so many poor people in this world who are not helped, and I want to vindicate them. People in the world often say that when is the time for retribution, hmph, in my opinion, it's just that the people on the feet of the fire don't feel a backache when they stand and talk. Forbearance only fuels demonic desires, prompting them to create more evils and cause more people to suffer. There is only one truth in my place, there is a debtor who is wronged, Mo Lianzhi is kind and cautious, and he should not suffer this misfortune in vain. ”

"I see, thank you. Don't worry, I'll be patient. By the way, what's next? ”

Chocolate stopped answering and turned away......

"Chocolate, chocolate!"

With a kick of the leg, Chiba woke up.

I dreamed of chocolate for two nights in a row, and each time it became more and more real. She understood that this was due to a passive situation, and she wanted to meet the mysterious person so much that there was no other way than to be in a dream.

Although it was still early, she still got up directly, and the "restless self-guarding" accused in her dream still lingered in her mind, but what she should do could not be suspended because of this - she had to send breakfast to Song Yingchen before going to work, but when facing him, she couldn't allow herself to regain that strange mood. Yes, even though it was just a dream, what the chocolate said was a cry of deep intellect. She is a poor person with nothing, who is qualified to fall in love with anyone.

……

The leak of the design draft exploded in the world, and there was a lot of discussion among employees, and no one knew what the final decision of the management would be.

David became the focus of right and wrong for a while, and even the small groups with which he had good personal relations on weekdays avoided him, asking for leave and going out, trying his best to get rid of his relationship with him.

"Chiba, you come out for a moment." Lunch time had just arrived, and David came over and whispered.

Chiba was stunned for a moment, but did not hesitate too much, and followed David out of the office and went up to the refuge floor.

"Chiba, I usually treat you well, right?" David first played the emotional card, hoping that she would be on his side.

"It's not thin, you treat me very well, but David, these are two different things."

She knew his intentions, and subconsciously took a step back, looking sideways slightly. She actually didn't want to be alone with David during a sensitive period, but she really couldn't stand his pitiful appearance. According to other colleagues in the company, David's theft of the design draft was a sure thing, and no one could help him turn it over.

David's tie is the best and most styled in the company, but at the moment, the blue tie on his chest has been worn for three days, and the bow tie is also so-so.

"I was really wronged, someone deliberately corrected me." He said anxiously and helplessly, "Chiba, you help me." ”

"David, don't do that."

"As long as you are willing to help me, I can give you money, you say, how much?"

"I'm sorry, I've also reflected on whether I shouldn't have told you at the meeting, but in terms of facts, you did break me away when installing the purifier, and I can't tell the company that there is no such thing. I believe in your character, if you are really wronged, I believe that the company will investigate clearly. ”

"But I really haven't touched Steven's computer, and the workers testified."

"But the worker also said that they had already finished when you went to the bathroom, and you just came back when you left, and you didn't lock the door at the first time, so you can't rule out the possibility of going in alone afterwards. David, I've also been investigated for a long time, and so are those workers, who haven't done it or haven't done it, just tell the truth. ”

David paced from side to side with some irritation.

"Yes, but they don't believe it! You know, if I really want to steal Steven's files, I can't stop it with a lock and a password? Besides, it was working hours, my colleagues were there, and it was easy to be found when I walked up and down, so I wasn't that stupid. ”

Indeed, it would be foolish to choose that timing.

"Actually, I believe you wouldn't do that, but there's no evidence in your favor right now."

"So you're going to help me, and now only you can help me." David grabbed her, his face twitching slightly.

"How can I help?"

"Let's just say that after seeing the workers leave that day, you came and locked the door with me."

This kind of statement that resembles the reversal of a confession is undoubtedly self-defeating, and Chiba understands that David has lost his mind.

"No, I didn't say that before, and now changing my tune will only add fuel to the fire." She immediately vetoed, "I'm not afraid of being implicated, but this kind of thing will become more and more complicated, and it will be even more unfavorable to you." ”

David thought for a while, felt that she was right, and the fire that had just ignited in his eyes was extinguished again, and then begged in a desperate tone: "The situation is unfavorable enough for me, and if I can't find anything that can turn the tables, I will die." Immediately, he squatted on the ground and sobbed heavily.

"David ......"

"Do you know, last year I bought a house and am still paying for it, and my girlfriend is pregnant again, and the expenses are very high. My dad is sick too, and I can't afford to lose my job, let alone make a name for myself in the industry. If they insist on planting this on my head, I'm basically going to end up in this business. ”

Hearing him say this, Chiba couldn't help but feel compassion.

"Get up, don't do this." She reached out and pulled David up, but David held her hand tightly and pinched her so much that her mouth turned white.

"Help me, I didn't do it."

"Your kinship company is sensitive, and theoretically you are motivated. But this relationship can help you now, have you ever thought about it? ”

David looked at her puzzled.

"Use your connections and let the other company quietly tell who sold the design, and the problem will be solved."

"No, no." David shook his head vigorously, as if there was some untouchable affliction.

"Why not?"

He looked around vigilantly and whispered, "I did steal some data from them before, and if I want to turn these out, I can't wash them out." ”

Chiba's mouth opened wide in shock.

"Why, why do you do this, is the company treating you badly?"

"Yes, it's me who is bad, but this time it's not me. Chiba, just tell them what you just said, please. ”

"I'm sorry."

"White lies, Chiba, life sometimes needs white lies." David almost knelt down for her, "As long as you are willing to help me, I will repay you." He took her hand and moved it up quickly, and grabbed her arms tightly, like two pairs of pliers.

She writhed her body with all her might, shook off control and took a few steps away.

"What do you think of me as?"

"I'm going to die." David eventually burst into tears.

"I know there are factions in the company, and you're involved in them, and I'm not interested in which faction and who are there, and I don't want to be involved. But I can assure you that I only say what I know, and I won't say a word about it. I don't know what you've done before, but if you're innocent this time, you grit your teeth and hold on, and they won't force it on you if you can't find evidence. ”

"You know!" David was so desperate that he left a sentence similar to venting, and staggered towards the door, without looking back.

As soon as he walked out, he heard the sound of trotting in the corridor, he didn't chase it, but sneered twice, and laughed at himself: "Hmph, blame me for being unlucky, just do what you like." ”

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone heard Shi Ran shouting "David", and then looked at the other end of the corridor, David was walking towards this side with a cardboard box. He walks slowly, and his calves don't seem to have much support, like a zombie eating plants in a game. Walking by, Chiba called him softly, but David ignored it, always looking blankly ahead, and finally disappeared outside the company gate.

Shi Ran stepped forward helplessly, crossed his hands on his waist, sighed, and then unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and loosened his tie.

"Let's put aside the work we are doing and make an announcement." He clapped his hands.
