Chapter 174: The Death of the Reservoir
When the two cars drove to the edge of the reservoir one after the other, the sky was already white.
Xin Mu jumped out of He Chong's car and turned around and walked towards the one driven by He Yina.
"Ina, come, take a hand."
He Yina got out of the car with an ignorant face, looking at the morning glow that was about to appear in the distance, and there was a kind of trance of dreaming.
Xin Mu Lao Dao opened the car door, dragged He Chong's feet and pulled out hard, very hard.
"Come, shove him in front of him, quick!"
At her command, He Yina had to lift He Chong's upper body, and the two of them clumsily and struggled to stuff the person into the cab and make him look like he was driving.
Xin Mu was so tired that he gasped, then clapped his hands, and his face showed a look of joy that he had accomplished. She put He Chong's hand on the steering wheel, fastened his seat belt for him, and closed the car door. Then stand at the back of the car and press your palm against the butt of the car.
"Here, push the cart down."
The car was located at the top of the slope, with a 20-meter-deep reservoir below, and she finally understood what her mother was going to do.
"Mom......" She was very scared, because she didn't think about He Chong's life at all.
"What's the matter, hurry up!"
"No, he's going to die."
"If you don't want his life, he will come and take your life! When is it, don't bother, did I say all that in vain? ”
"Just scare and scare him, don't come to the real thing, besides, he has agreed to our request, there is no need for this."
"How can you become a muddy man, if he doesn't die, you don't want to go back to Ogu. Ina, people die for money, birds die for food, this world is always the survival of the fittest, and compassion cannot be exchanged for success. Don't be afraid, if there is any consequence, your mother will bear it for you, push the car down, and everything will be over. ”
Xin Mu said as he started to push the cart, but the body was too heavy and did not move.
He Yina still stood by and watched, with no intention of contributing.
"Ina!" Xin Mu yelled at her impatiently, and his fierce and hateful eyes seemed to threaten.
He Yina finally gave in. The hand on the car was unconscious, and she tried to perform the helplessness of using her brute strength but powerlessness, but who knew that the car that was as heavy as a hill on weekdays slid inch by inch.
She wished that there was an obstacle high enough in front of her to jam the wheels, but she couldn't. The body moved forward from slow to fast, and soon the butt of the car was cocked.
It was easy to push the cart, but it was impossible to pull it back, and she watched as her palms detached from the trunk and the whole car accelerated and dived towards the reservoir.
There was a muffled sound on the water, and the car was planted inside, and then floated head down and tail up.
She held back her tears, knowing that everything was irreparable.
"It'll sink in a while, it won't be too painful, let's go." Xin Mu seemed to be quite experienced in this method of killing, so he got into He Yina's car without looking back, and sat directly in the passenger seat.
The body is indeed slowly sinking, and bubbles are constantly rising from the bottom of the water, heralding the final struggle of life. That brother who was alive and passionate, innocent and ignorant, and whose relatives were also rivals, was about to pass away, and He Yina had mixed feelings in her heart.
Unable to bear to look at the sinking slight, she quietly wiped her tears and got into the car and drove away with her mother. She looked in the rearview mirror as she drove, and her heartache increased with each bit she threw the reservoir back.
Xin Mu didn't look back at all, and proudly took out a piece of paper to look at it—it was a letter written by He Chong to He Zhanting—and even read it with some pretense, like a soap opera actor with exaggerated acting skills.
"Dad, I'm leaving, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for disappointing you, my mother and my sister's expectations, please forgive me for my unfilial piety. This is a decision I made after careful consideration, and it is also the first time that I want to make decisions about my life, and I hope you can fulfill it. I'm tired of my current life, and whether I have a lot of money or power, it's all a void for me to sit back and enjoy. I long to have freedom, even if it is difficult to move forward, I also want to go willfully. The hotbed and cradle of home make me ......"
"Don't read it." Heyna shook her head in pain and begged.
"Then read the last paragraph, the point." Xin Mu happily jumped the line and looked at the end of the text, "I lack the ability to manage Ogu, and Ogu is destined to have no future when he handed it to me." I will give it back to you now, and I hope that Dad will respect its future again, as much as I respect mine...... How about it, with a resolute attitude and a tactful tone, He Zhanting can only die if he doesn't want to die. ”
She excitedly folded the letter paper, put it in the pocket of Heyina's chest, and patted it meaningfully.
"With this, my baby daughter has peace of mind."
He Yina's tears flowed down silently, and she only thought about He Chong.
"Chong'er is gone, and one day someone will find ......"
Xin Mu had a plan and comforted: "Don't worry, there is basically no one going to the reservoir, and even if he is discovered, he will think that he has been in a car accident." I've thought about the press release, Ogu Shao was killed while drunk driving, and God is jealous of the talent,......"
"Mom......" remembered that Xin Mu used wine when she fed He Chong*, and He Yina realized that her mother's plan was so meticulous that it was almost cold-blooded.
Xin Mu raised her hand to stop what she wanted to say.
"It is taboo to be indecisive in doing big things, and the wood is already in the boat, just get on the boat with peace of mind. You don't owe He Chong, he just gives you back what he took from you. ”
"But my heart is full of things."
"Take a deep breath, drive well, it's no big deal, you can rest assured that you have your mother." Xin Mu put the seat back and hugged the back of his head with both hands, "I'm sleepy, take a nap." ”
With that, he closed his eyes, and after a while, he let out a slight snoring sound.
He Yina rubbed her temples with her free hand, forcing herself to stop thinking nonsense. The sky is all open, and the road ahead is getting wider and wider, and she must hurry up and prepare to return to power, and there is no room for emotion.
About forty minutes later, as soon as the car entered the city, Xin Mu's mobile phone rang.
"Who's so early." She complained, with a look of disgust on her face, and took it out of her pocket to see that it was the phone with the trumpet ringing, and her expression became serious.
As soon as she fed her, she froze like a stone.
He Yina glanced sideways, noticing something unusual.
"What's wrong?"
Xin Mu hung up the phone, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.
"Turn around, I'm going to get something."
"Where?"
"You get out of the car, I'll come." Xin Mu said as he unbuckled his seat belt, and hurriedly opened the door without waiting for the car to stop.
The two switched positions and drove in the opposite direction to their intended goal, and on the way Hoyna stepped into the back seat and curled up.
She was so tired, not only physically but also mentally and even soul. After doing something she had never done before, she was afraid that there would be a next time, a next time, and there would never be a catastrophe.
It was only when she was ten years old that she learned that He Chong was not a fellow mother, but the flesh and blood of another woman and her father. At the time, the shock lasted only a short time, and the relationship between the siblings did not change substantially. The reason is simple, this family is exemplary, He Chong never felt that he was any different from her, and so was she.
The two parents even set an example - Xin Mu treats He Chong as his own, responds to requests, and sometimes even cares more about her than her. He Zhanting, on the contrary, focused more on cultivating her, accompanying her to learn various skills for survival in the future, and improving her temperament and cultivating her temperament. Sometimes she even felt that He Chong was miserable, and she didn't get her father's meticulous care, and she felt sorry for him in her heart.
But I don't know when all this has changed, like a seed that has been sleeping in the soil for a long time, inadvertently quietly sprouting and flowering, and by the time it is noticed, it has taken root and grown, and even has the momentum of fruit.
Of course, the reason is not from Agu, no matter how huge Ogu is, it can be weighed, and its proportion cannot replace He Chong's weight in her heart no matter what. But Agu is the medium that triggers change, and it is also the heaviest weight that causes the He family's scales to tilt.
Yes, what she really wants to fight against is the patriarchy with He Zhanting as the core, as a young woman who is excellent in all aspects, she has not been able to get basic respect in this family. She is a chess piece, and He Zhanting needs to use her to loosen Xin Mu's defense against He Chong. She is a springboard, and He Zhanting let He Chong step on this springboard and successfully inherit the core business source of the family.
Thinking about it, she seemed to see He Chong. His struggling face became more and more distorted, and the fear in his eyes slowly turned to despair. He seemed to be questioning why the end of his fate was determined by her, who was his sister. He trusted her so much, especially in adulthood, and even had a mother-son dependence on her.
Water poured into the car through invisible cracks, slowly flooding his waist, chest, neck, and chin...... Soon flooded the nose. He opened his mouth wide and tried to breathe, and at the same time he was calling for help, and the word "sister" he shouted was bloody, painful and miserable.
Eventually, his whole body was submerged in water, his face turned blue, his hair floated like aquatic weeds, and his pupils began to dilate.
He Yina felt a huge wound in her heart, and her whole person was on the verge of splitting, but there was really nothing she could do about it. She understands that she will suffer and be trapped in this wound for the rest of her life, and she will not be able to heal or bandage, and she will eventually watch the blood drain little by little, and then her heart and wound will die together.
He Chong sank into the deep pool, and the waters within the light range returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. Maybe it was the sister and brother who connected their hearts, and He Yina also felt a strong water pressure pouring into her ears, and the pulse sounded from the depths of the cochlea, which was very painful.
She woke up and hit the back of the front seat, which turned out to be Xin Mu who stepped on the brakes. Rubbing his eyes, his right arm was sore, and his ears were pressed as if the cartilage was broken, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't touch it.
Just as she was about to speak, Xin Mu stared at her from the rearview mirror, her eyes were sharp, and she commanded while driving the door: "Ina, get out of the car." ”
She got out of the car with her mother in a trance and walked forward, not knowing where she was.
It's not a public place, it's a ruin, and there's no one to be seen.
She was about to ask, but found that the top of Xin Mu's head was exposed close to the ground—she had followed a staircase down the ladder into the tunnel, and there must have been an area similar to a basement—and she was a little at a loss.
"Quick!" Xin Mu's anxious urging came from under the stairs, and she hurriedly followed.
