Chapter Ninety-Eight: Repentance

Li Zaichen didn't appear in a hurry, Shen Guangnian knew that he was in the dark, and his life was as calm as usual, but there was a feeling that a storm was coming.

On Saturday, Shen Guangnian came to the bookstore as promised.

Mo Sixuan was wearing a white skirt, with long hair like a waterfall scattered over her shoulders, and Shen Guangnian preferred straight hair or ponytails for girls.

Her appearance and elegant temperament can be said to be completely in line with Shen Guangnian's aesthetics, and the two are also very compatible when they walk together, and many passers-by look at them with envy and talk about them in a whisper.

The two entered the bookstore under the gaze of everyone, the proprietress fell asleep as expected, making an even breathing sound, the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked into the bookshelf slowly.

The books in the bookstore are all sorted by category, and although the proprietress looks lazy, she is definitely serious about sorting out the books, and Shen Guangnian sometimes comes to help.

Following the number of the shelves, he quickly found the original version of "Snow Country", a carefully packaged book wrapped in a layer of plastic film.

"Is this the one?" Shen Guangnian took the book from the shelf and handed it to Mo Sixuan.

Mo Sixuan took it, looked at the packaging, the text on the book, the author, and said softly: "Yes, thank you." She flipped through the book over and over again, as if she had found some treasure, and refused to let go for a moment.

She raised her head and looked at Shen Guangnian gratefully, her eyes were bright and flexible, because of the calmness of her mood, Shen Guangnian no longer faced the girls with an evasive attitude, he saw the shining points on them.

"No thanks, I'll go somewhere else too." Shen Guangnian said with a smile, he released some of his youthful nature and no longer trapped himself in the shackles of his soul.

The two acted separately for the time being, Shen Guangnian came to the prose bookshelf, the most obvious was his mother's prose and poetry, he really felt that the proprietress was indeed a loyal fan of his mother, he picked up the book and opened it casually.

The sentences are barely smooth, and the rhetoric is not gorgeous, but what is rare is the true feelings contained in it, and the immature writing can better reflect the author's eclectic and brilliant nature.

Shen Guangnian's mother's path to authorship was not all smooth sailing, and at the beginning, she was always ridiculed and belittled by others for writing or other reasons.

But with her open-mindedness, she worked hard to write over and over again, improve her writing, and shut up those people's mouths.

Shen Guangnian put the book back on the shelf, hoping that more people would see it.

Half an hour later, the proprietress also woke up leisurely, rubbing her sleepy eyes, supporting her head with her hands, her eyes still half-closed and half-open.

"Boss, please settle the account." Mo Sixuan put five books on the counter.

The proprietress didn't care about the business, and clicked her fingers on the computer a few times to calculate the price.

"Eight percent off, one hundred and two will do." The proprietress even looked lazy in her voice, and the words were spit out word by word. After saying that, he yawned.

Mo Sixuan took out the money and handed it to the proprietress who took it and stuffed it into the box casually.

Shen Guangnian thought to himself, how can she continue her business like this?

It's just thinking about how this kind of thing can be asked.

"Boy, when will the essay be sold to me." The proprietress stared at Shen Guangnian, sweeping away the decadent aura just now.

Shen Guangnian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

The proprietress smacked her tongue unwillingly, she knew that Shen Guangnian would not sell, but she had developed a habit, and she would ask again when she saw Shen Guangnian, and she also had a hint of expectation, in case Shen Guangnian would agree when she would.

Shen Guangnian held the bag containing the books, and several heavy books seemed to be about to burst the bag, Shen Guangnian was a little worried, so he simply hugged it in his arms.

"Shen Guangnian, let's go to lunch first?" Mo Sixuan asked.

Shen Guangnian nodded.

The two found a famous restaurant nearby, and the waiter's warm service recommended special dishes to them, and the two chose different set menus.

"When did Shen Guangnian decide to go back to school?" Mo Sixuan asked, the students and teachers at the school were eager to know this question.

"Just call me by my name, I'm going to go back to school after the Qingming Festival holiday." Shen Guangnian always felt a little weird when he heard her name, and the two should be regarded as friends.

"Lightyear, do you have anything on your mind?"

Shen Guangnian was amazed at her carefulness.

"It's a bit of a bother." He replied vaguely, he didn't plan to say anything specific, this matter was too important to tell others at will, he made an appointment with An Yixia, and even Zhao Yun didn't say it. One more person knows one more danger.

Mo Sixuan didn't ask.

"If only it could be solved." She smiled and blessed.

"Thank you."

The phone rang a few times and hung up, and Shen Guangnian said apologetically: "I have something to go first." ”

"Don't worry about me." Mo Sixuan did not have the slightest displeasure, she was released halfway, and she was not angry, this strength is stronger than many people.

After Shen Guangnian paid the bill, he rushed home.

The call was made by An Yixia, this is the code they agreed upon, if Xu Lu's father finds it, An Yixia will notify Shen Guangnian like this.

Shen Guangnian saw a middle-aged man, hesitantly pacing at the door of his house, he slowed down and walked in front of the man step by step.

The man's bloodshot eyes looked at him, and he opened his mouth slightly to speak, but he stopped him.

"Come in and talk about it." He took out the key and opened the door, and Father Xu followed closely behind and closed the door with his hand.

Father Xu stood in place at a loss.

"Sit." Shen Guangnian spoke.

Father Xu nodded and sat on the sofa. He is here to repent, to seek forgiveness, to put himself in a lower position.

Shen Guangnian carefully observed Xu's father, the person who changed his life and caused all the tragedies, he was a little bloated, more like a businessman than a policeman, and his eyes were full of calculations.

An Yixia was in her bedroom, she could clearly hear the movement in the living room, and she could imagine Shen Guangnian's anger without looking at it.

The enemy she had been looking for took the initiative to send her to the door, if she hadn't listened here, she was really afraid that Shen Guangnian would kill Father Xu.

If Shen Guangnian had done this a few days ago, he had thought about suicide and revenge when he was under house arrest.

He has carried out countless brain calculations and rehearsals, so that he can plan a murder plan anytime and anywhere, and his super memory and observation will be his best murder weapon.

However, because he received a good education since he was a child, the hatred and literacy in his heart contradicted him, tormenting him. The heart is extremely tormented, and only death can be relieved.

Now there is something more important than death to stop Lee Jaechen.

Having said that, he still wants to dismantle the person in front of him, this kind of scum is not worthy of being a policeman.

Shen Guangnian closed his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air, restraining his killing intent.

There was a loud bang.

Shen Guangnian opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the appearance of Father Xu kneeling.

"I'm a scumbag, I'm wrong, I repent, but I'm also forced." In order to survive, Xu's father did not hesitate to abandon his dignity.

He burst into tears, talking about how he was coerced and forced to kill him.

Shen Guangnian's heart was not turbulent, he was not moved by Xu's father's words at all, and his eyes became colder and colder.

"I can't help it, I can't die." Xu's father moved out of his family in an attempt to arouse Shen Guangnian's sympathy.

"My daughter still knows you." Xu's father thought that Xu Lu and Shen Guangnian had a good relationship and wanted to get involved.

His head was on the floor, and he didn't lift it, and he couldn't see the disdain in Shen Guangnian's eyes.

"Don't use your family as an excuse, you just want power." Shen Guangnian snorted coldly.

Father Xu raised his head and looked up at Shen Guangnian, tears were still hanging on his face, looking very funny.

"What do you mean?" Father Xu still wanted to pretend to be crazy and stupid.

"I checked you, accepted bribes, and made people ......guilty," Shen Guangnian counted Xu's father's crimes one by one.

Father Xu's face was as pale as earth, trembling like chaff, his crimes were known, and any justification became funny.

He lowered his eyes and sat down on the ground.

"If you confess everything, there may be a silver lining." Shen Guangnian pointed out a clear path, although he didn't want to protect Father Xu, but he couldn't let Zaichen continue to commit crimes.

Father Xu ignited the desire to survive, and his eyes regained their brightness.

"I noticed that I was being followed three months ago, and the other party has strong detection and counter-investigation capabilities, and I have never seen anyone at all, but I have the feeling of being followed." Father Xu was shocked into a cold sweat when he thought of the ghost-like shadow-like follower.

In a desperate situation, you can die at any time.

This feeling of suffocation has been with him for three months, and it has already made his spirit collapse, so he will let go of his dignity and seek protection from Shen Guangnian.

Shen Guangnian was taken aback, Li Zaichen could make Xu's father, who was a policeman, helpless, where had he been and what had he done in the past few years?

Shen Guangnian remembered Li Zaichen's hateful eyes when his father died, the blow of his parents' death one after another, Li Zaichen's resentment towards society had a long history, and it completely exploded after Li Mengqi's death.

can kill so many people in a frenzy, Li Zaichen can no longer be called a human, he is an out-and-out murderer.

"You have so many enemies, why do you think it's in the morning?" Shen Guangnian asked.

Father Xu was a little dissatisfied that he doubted his reasoning, but he didn't dare to say anything against it when he asked for protection.

"Because all the people involved in the case were killed one after another, even the minors were not spared." Father Xu had seen the mutilated corpse and was frightened by the brutal killing methods.

Father Xu has a reason why he can't call the police, and his dirty things are not only known to Shen Guangnian, but also to Li Zaichen.

"You go back first, and let me know if there is any situation." Shen Guangnian said.

"Will you protect me?" Father Xu cautiously tempted.

Shen Guangnian looked at him, he was in a very unhappy mood, he didn't want to talk more, and nodded slightly.

Father Xu was grateful, put his business card on the coffee table, and left.

Shen Guangnian sat on the sofa tiredly, as if he was about to fall into it.

An Yixia opened the door with the spare key and walked to Shen Guangnian's side.

"I thought you were going to hit him." An Yixia was worried in the bedroom.

"I think so too, but there is no point, beating him, Mengqi will not live. All that can be done is to send him to prison. Shen Guangnian also felt depressed in his heart, but he didn't want to use violence to solve it.

If you want to win against Li Zaichen and the people behind him, you must stay calm at all times, this is a protracted battle between life and death.
