In the early afternoon.

The room was surprisingly hot, and the moment after the typhoon was cool and fleeting.

After lunch, Dr. Liu and Mr. Tang went out together, and they wanted to make some preparations before I left.

I lay on the bed, looking at the old-fashioned ceiling fan overhead, struggling to turn it.

suddenly remembered He Bin, this sworn friend.

His facial features appeared in his mind very clearly...... I also remembered the ecstasy of going to the kitchen to steal fat meat from those years in the barracks...... Those clips of living and chatting with He Bin kept flashing.

Alas...... People will always change, but I don't want to believe that he will become like this. However, if people want to change, it is not something that their friends can influence...... After all, a person's inner world belongs to him, and others cannot get into his heart to understand it...... It's a pity that this good brother of mine has embarked on this road of no return, alas......

A person, after the change, is quite scary.

In that case, I was seized by Qin Lingjin, imprisoned by him in the dungeon of Tianyue Mansion, and my wife, daughter, and parents were held hostage...... He Bin knows all these things, and may even be the mastermind, oh my God, this is too terrifying...... I really don't want to believe it!

Unlikely!

He Bin is not such a person, he is a good brother who stresses righteousness, attaches importance to affection and righteousness, and sticks a knife in my ribs...... And his own company is also very profitable, there is no need to hurt friends for money, or even do those hurtful things!

This game of chess is really big, and there are too many secrets hidden in this conspiracy! If it was really He Bin manipulating, it would be a very terrifying thing, because he knew all my circumstances and knew me well, and the scheming Qin Lingjin made him even more powerful! If that's the case - the person who harmed me turned out to be my best brother! Oh, my God...... It's unbelievable!

However, I still don't want to believe this situation, even if the overseas account has shown that it is He Bin's name, Lawyer Tang has also found some information - I must personally grab Qin Lingjin and ask this matter clearly.

I pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit one.

The smoke rose and drifted towards the old-fashioned ceiling fan overhead, and when it was almost there, it was carried by the slow wind and spun in circles.

I looked at my phone, and it was almost three o'clock.

I sat up, fiddling with the treasures that Dr. Liu had brought back to me, and went through them one by one until I became proficient.

After smoking a lot of cigarettes, I still couldn't hold back and pushed the door open.

Out of those winding alleys, I came out into the street.

I knew where I was going, and I knew who I wanted to see in my heart - maybe it would be nice to have a few glances in the distance, after all, I don't know when we will be able to meet......

I didn't take a taxi, but walked slowly along those streets. I want to measure the city with my own footsteps, and feel this familiar and strange city, the city that I am about to leave.

As I walked a few blocks, I saw that the branches of the trees that had not had time to be cleared were still lying on every street, as if telling the story of what had happened to me the previous night.

Those thrilling scenes still come to mind...... When the mess in front of us gradually becomes orderly, we may slowly forget the past and start a new life that belongs to everyone.

Before I knew it, I came to the Corniche.

Walking along this avenue, you can reach the overpass, the garbage dump, where Ah Jin used to live, and further on, there is Haimei Building......

The wind stopped, people walked on the beach, and there were also heat waves.

There was a small beach in front of me, and I walked down, took off my shoes, and walked on the sand to the reef. suddenly remembered that after Han Bing heard the news of Qin Lingjin's arrest last time, it seemed that he had also come here.

In the sand, there were many fragments of shells, some of which were sharp, and it felt a little tingling when you stepped on them...... A group of small crabs crawled out of the corner of the reef with great speed, and when I walked over, they all dispersed in a second, and disappeared without a trace.

I still remember that Han Bing sat on that reef that day, picked up a few small stones, and threw them into the sea, and the scene at that moment is vivid.

I sat down and soaked my legs in the seawater.

The warm sea water caressed my skin back and forth...... I looked down and saw myself in the water.

This strange face, this face that does not belong to you.

I suddenly remembered many fragments from the past...... Those who drove their cars, crowded on the Corniche, rushed to work in the morning...... Ah Qin came to our house for dinner, and his wife and daughter sat with their parents talking and laughing...... Chatting with Dr. Liu across the thick walls of the dungeon, Dr. Liu taught me boxing and trained every day...... In the underground casino of the bamboo forest, Qin Lingjin was seen knocking Doctor Liu's head with the handle of his gun......

Gao Yue, Gao Yue...... Why do you suffer so much misfortune, like those branches that were blown off by the wind last night and lay on the side of the road?

Why would you be so stupid to believe in those vile villains again and again?

Why do you never try to guard against the dangers that lurk in the shadows? Why do you always believe that people are good? Why are you still reluctant to admit it and believe that this is a bloody truth when those despicable villains hurt you?!

Kindness comes at a price – a lot of times.

When others take everything from you, when hatred fills your chest, you will realize these blood-stained lessons.

……

I buried my head in the water, opened my eyes, and looked at the sand and everything that was cloudy in the water.

The sound of waves rushed in my ears, as if there was the whistle of a large ship in the distance.

I immersed my whole head in the water, looking for a moment of peace.

The bloodshot eyeballs were soaked in salty seawater. I'm desperately holding my breath...... It wasn't until I couldn't bear it anymore that I raised my head from the water.

I spewed all the seawater in my mouth into the sky, and those droplets of water scattered in mid-air, falling and falling.

The surface of the water gradually returned to calm, and in a moment of calm, the two bloodshot eyeballs stood out on the handsome fake face......

I buried my head in the water again, held my breath desperately, and then took a big gulp of seawater, sprayed it into the sky, and the cycle repeated...... Until the whole person was extremely tired and leaned against the reef.

The sun shone violently on my body, and a burning sensation that had never been seen before, spread over my cheeks, then crawled up to my neck, then to my arms, to my chest......

I finally stood up, gritted my teeth, and took a step.
