Chapter 172: Pain and Sacrifice
He and Xin Mu's faces were a palm's width apart, and the distance that should have been the affectionate gaze of mother and son seemed extremely far away. The mask peeled off layer by layer like a bamboo shoot shell, and he never thought that the woman he had called his mother for more than 20 years would be so strange and terrifying.
It was as if he had been hit by some blunt object in his chest, and there was a sharp pain.
"Chiba's mother has passed away, and no matter what kind of grievances have settled, do you really want to continue the grudges endlessly?"
"Don't tell me big things, are you threatening me or begging me?"
"I beg you, Mom, let Chiba go." He pleaded in despair.
"Don't call Mom, I'm not your mother, I've said hello to you a long time ago, I'm tired of He Zhanting and I in this scene, why haven't you gotten tired of acting." Xin Mu rolled his eyes in disgust, "Look at how happy your father and I are now, we can scold and quarrel if we want, and we don't have to pretend to be a loving husband and wife." ”
"How can you say that, you obviously love your father deeply, everyone can see it......"
His words were like a thin needle inserted into Xin Mu's heart, and a trace of warmth was fleeting in her eyes.
Indeed, she could not deny this fact. It was precisely because of her deep love for He Zhanting that she drove out all the women who were threatening, and it was precisely because of her deep love for He Zhanting that she couldn't accept He Yina as He Chong's stepping stone.
"It's a pity that I love the wrong person, if you want to say hypocrisy and selfishness, your Lao Tzu is second to none. I gave him a great youth, and I didn't catch anything, and all he thought about was those sluts. Ina also gave him youth, and the same fate, after using it, kicked away and expelled Ogu. It's nothing for people to be bullied, but it's a nest to swallow their anger and go against the grain. ”
"Dad is just a little overbearing, he loves to be patriarchal, he didn't take advantage of his sister."
Xin Mu grabbed the teacup and smashed it to the ground.
"Without Ina Ogu, where we are today? Why should she give it to you in exchange for hardship? You have spent twenty years drinking, how can you do it! ”
"Who is in charge of Ogu, is it really more important than a family and harmony?"
"Of course!"
He Chong hugged his head in pain, really didn't want to continue the topic.
"I don't want to talk about this, please give me back Chiba, or I'll call the police." He pulled out his phone and remembered that there was no signal.
"If you want to give that little * back to you, I'll have to ask Ina if she wants to."
Just when He Chong was surprised, Xin Mu raised his hand and slapped it three times.
The door was kicked open, and Song Yingchen walked in tremblingly, with a gun on his temple.
With a shout of "sister", He Yina stood up from behind Song Yingchen and pressed her index finger on the trigger.
He Chong exclaimed: "You are crazy, let Song Yingchen go, this matter has nothing to do with him!" ”
Xin Mu stepped forward and patted Song Yingchen's frightened pale face, turned his head and said to him: "He Zhanting is also a man, why did you give birth to such a waste, you were cuckolded and called a brother." Let's do it, let's make a deal, kill this adulterer, I'll give you back, kill two birds with one stone, how about it? ”
He Chong was completely dumbfounded, he never expected her to say such ugly words. But what made him even more devastated was that his sister, who had loved him and spoiled him, also changed her face, and there was no trace of the warmth and kindness in her eyes.
"Sister, you ......"
"Don't blame me, you and Dad forced it." He Yina's voice was still gentle, but there was no heat at all, "I asked myself if I had done anything to be sorry for my family, but I ended up like this, not only did I have no place at home, but I was also disturbed by opening a company." What did I do wrong, you have to do this to me, you say, is it my fault? ”
"Sister, I know you are wronged, let's go to Dad and talk calmly, there is no problem that cannot be solved. I said I'd give Ogu back, I'm not interested there, why don't you believe it? ”
Xin Mu interjected: "Ina, don't talk nonsense with him." ”
He Yina pushed Song Yingchen to take a step forward, and Song Yingchen's forehead began to sweat.
"Chong'er, if you are really willing to return Ogu to me, I will release Song Yingchen and Yang Qianye."
He Chong nodded one after another, not thinking that this was an excessive request at all.
"Okay, okay, tomorrow when Dad gets up, we'll go to him and ask him to reappoint."
"No, he won't agree, you don't know his temper yet."
"And what do you want me to do?"
Hoina's lips twitched slightly, and she said what she thought was the most foolproof strategy.
"Write him a resignation letter in your name and disappear."
"Disappear?"
"You're gone, and he'll give Ogu to me."
"I ...... How do I disappear? ”
He Yina was speechless and looked at Xin Mu, she really couldn't say the following words.
"He Chong, it's still cost-effective to exchange one life for two lives, one is the woman you love, and the other is your good friend, weigh it yourself."
"You want me dead?" The bridge of He Chong's nose was sour, and his eyes were wet.
"Everybody dies, sooner or later, why bother. Think about it, if you are gone, your father and I won't quarrel anymore, your sister will take care of Aogu, and the He family's business will continue to flourish...... Rest assured, I know that you have enjoyed prosperity and wealth since you were a child, and your standard of living cannot be lowered. I can guarantee that every year during the Qingming Cold Food, I will go to the grave to set off millions of firecrackers and burn a thousand catties of paper money. ”
After a moment of silence, He Chong let out an indescribable laugh, and there was blood and tears in that smile, as well as the wail of his soul.
Song Yingchen saw this scene in his eyes, and his heart rippled. He Chong and his family turned against each other because of their interests, which reminded him of his mother. Lu Meiqin also crossed the river and demolished the bridge for the sake of interests, and he felt that the feelings between people were so vulnerable in the face of interests. Aside from the chill and shame, he was not shocked by what was happening in front of him.
However, he still couldn't help but advise: "Sister Yina, you can't be so cold-blooded, He Chong is your younger brother." ”
He Yina didn't look at him at all, put the muzzle of the gun at his temple, and continued to threaten He Chong.
"I'll count three, if you agree, I'll let him and Yang Qianye go." She escorted Song Yingchen to Xin Mu, Xin Mu took the gun and continued to face Song Yingchen, and she took out a pill from her pocket.
"If you take this medicine, all your memories will disappear within 24 hours, and you won't be able to remember anything. So don't worry, as long as you accept my conditions, I will never embarrass Song Yingchen in the future, nor will I embarrass Yang Qianye. ”
"He Chong, don't!" Song Yingchen shouted, Xin Mu raised * and smashed it at him, and immediately blood flowed.
He Chong sat on the ground with his buttocks, only to feel that the boulder was pressing on the top, and he had nothing to love.
"One, two......"
"I promise."
He Yina smiled, her trademark smile. Once upon a time, every time she talked about the next business, every time she facilitated a project, she would show this heartfelt smile. And now seeing this smile again, He Chong feels that she is the same as himself, very pitiful.
"He Chong! Are you crazy when they're crazy? Song Yingchen didn't care about the blood flowing down his cheeks, and he wasn't afraid that Xin Mu would shoot at him, so he broke free and ran over.
Because they still have the trump card of Yang Qianye, the mother and daughter are not in a hurry.
"You don't care." He Chong dragged him behind him and glared at Xin Mu angrily, "Hand over Chiba and I'll stay." ”
Xin Mu winked at He Yina and pointed his gun at the two of them.
I saw He Yina walk quickly to the Bogu shelf, turned the tray under the narcissus, and suddenly a door appeared on the wall that rotated ninety degrees.
"Chiba!" Song Yingchen and He Chong called in unison.
Chiba was lying in the secret room, her hands tied behind her back, unconscious.
He Chong helped her up one step ahead of Song Yingchen, and called out while shaking: "Chiba, Chiba, wake up." ”
"Don't worry, I'm not dead, I just took medicine and woke up at dawn." Xin Mu walked over with a gun.
Song Yingchen touched Chiba's carotid artery, stretched out two fingers to probe in front of his nose, and nodded at He Chong.
He Yina handed over a police restraint belt.
"Let's go first." He Chong understood what she meant and put forward conditions.
Xin Mu glanced at He Yina again, and He Yina brought white water and handed the pill to Song Yingchen.
"Brother Yingchen, eat it, sleep well like Chiba, and everything will pass. I'll drive you back later, I know where you live, Sakura Residences or Yue Mansion, you can go back wherever you want. ”
My friend's sister was known as the "daughter of Lucheng", and Song Yingchen was proud of it, but she didn't expect that He Yina, who was standing in front of her at the moment, was both cold and evil, which formed a stark irony with her perfect appearance.
"If you take this medicine, you'll forget about today, right?" He asked.
He Yina nodded.
"Then I want to talk to you first, so that I don't think about it tomorrow."
"You say."
"You're so ugly, you're disgusting, you don't have the ability to fight for it, so you robbed your brother, are you embarrassed!"
He Yina smiled, not angry, because he was right.
"Yingchen, eat." He Chong urged, firstly, he was afraid that he would be hurt if he continued to provoke, and secondly, he wanted to rescue people as soon as possible, lest he would have too many dreams at night.
Song Yingchen took the orange pill and looked at it, slowly put it to his mouth, and suddenly threw it out just when he was about to take it in, and the pill rolled to the corner.
"How do I know if this medicine is poisonous or not, and what if you try to kill me?"
Xin Mu aimed at him and scolded him sternly: "Eat quickly, don't know what to do!" ”
He Yina explained seriously and patiently: "Don't worry, Brother Yingchen, you have nothing to do with this, I don't need to harm you." I can't help it today, but I can't help it. After taking this medicine, I only want to sleep and forget about what happened in a day, and you confirmed just now that Chiba is still alive, right? I promise, make sure you'll wake up tomorrow in your own bed......"
"Yes, there's your little * lying next to you." Xin Mu was helpful, and his words were extremely sarcastic, "She doesn't like my family Chong'er, she likes you, from now on, you can stay together, and you don't have to worry about someone interfering." ”
Song Yingchen couldn't help but glance at He Chong. He Chong had already burst into silent tears, but his eyes never left Chiba.
"Brother Chong......"
He Chong walked over to pick up the pill and walked over to him.
"Yingchen, it's the best way for me to stay, at least you and Chiba are safe. They have guns, we can't fight, instead of three people to die, it's better to sacrifice one of me. I believe what my sister said, this medicine is not poisonous, if she really wants to harm you, she is not worthy of me to respect her, love her, and rely on her for twenty years. After speaking, he looked at He Yina with eyes that were both complaining and aggrieved.
Looking at those red eyes, He Yina hesitated, bit her lip and buried her head, and her cheeks trembled obviously.
"Put away the set you picked up outside, it's useless." Seeing this, Xin Mu immediately reprimanded, and urged Song Yingchen again, "You, hurry up!" ”
He Chong stared at Song Yingchen eagerly, nodded, and the orange pill in his hand showed a head. His face was clearly full of begging, but Song Yingchen saw a fearless glory.
The two couldn't help but hug each other tightly, and He Chong kept patting Song Yingchen's shoulder blades, looking like life and death parting.
I only heard him plead in a voice the size of a mosquito: "Take Chiba and leave Lucheng, the farther away the better." I beg her to stop thinking about revenge, and I will pay her with my life......"
The sound is faint, but the weight is extremely solid.
Song Yingchen was stunned, and just wanted to lift his head from his back, but was held down again.
"She can't fight, and if she continues to stay in Lucheng, she will die sooner or later. Yingchen, good brother, treat her well, don't let me down. Go back to sleep and forget about tonight. ”
Listening to He Chong's words, Song Yingchen was excited, but he always felt that there was something strange, and he was about to ask clearly, He Chong stuffed the medicine into his mouth in front of Xin Mu.
Drinking the water handed over, Song Yingchen's neck tilted and his throat moved, and he swallowed it.
"Don't be nervous, I'll fall asleep in a while, and I can't think of anything." He Yina said.
He held his forehead, and his feet were a little unstable: "I'm already a little dizzy......"
"Sister, take him and Chiba away, please." He Chong knelt down for He Yina, and He Yina wanted to help, but found that her figure was much lower than him.
There was no turning back for her.
The sound of the car engine echoed in the mountains, and He Chong sat on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, all thoughts in despair.
