XII. Respectable lies

"Smile to the sky, you can go out."

The door of the prison room was opened by a policeman, Xiang Tianxiao had been squatting in it for three days, and when he was imprisoned, his heart was unusually calm, and when he was about to let him out, his heart was turbulent.

"Why are you letting me out?" Xiang Tianxiao wondered.

The policeman scoffed: "You're so strange that you let you out, and you still have to ask why." ”

"I killed someone, I should pay for my life, I shouldn't go out."

"But you didn't kill anyone, it was Li Kai who killed him, and Li Kai has already surrendered, so you don't have to help him take the blame, get out quickly."

"No, it's not him who kills, it's me." Such a result was never expected by Xiang Tianxiao.

"No need to pretend anymore, all kinds of evidence is enough to prove that it was Li Kai who killed him, hurry up and go out with me."

Xiang Tianxiao reluctantly followed the police out of the cell.

Out of the Public Security Bureau, Xiang Tian smiled and saw Wei Renwu, Mary, and Ah Zhen across the street.

The three of them also saw Xiang Tian smiling, and they hurried forward.

Mary and Ah Zhen were concerned: "Master, are you okay?" ”

Xiang Tianxiao didn't speak, just shook his head, he was in a terrible mood now.

Wei Renwu understood what he was thinking, and Wei Renwu ordered: "Ah Zhen, go and drive the car, Boss Xiang needs to go home now." ”

Ah Zhen obeyed Wei Renwu's instructions and drove the Audi A8 over.

On the way home, Xiang Tianxiao was always in a trance, Mary kept nagging beside him, and he didn't respond to a word.

When she finally got home, Mary wanted to prepare a pot to burn wormwood and give Xiang Tianxiao a bad luck.

However, Wei Renwu said: "Mary, don't fix those useless things, what Boss Xiang needs now is rest." ”

"Oh, then I'll go cook." Mary said in disappointment.

"I'll help too." Ah Zhen echoed Mary Dao.

When the two of them entered the kitchen, Wei Renwu smiled at Xiang Tian and said, "Let's go to the study, I have something to say." ”

At this time, Xiang Tianxiao also said the first sentence after coming out of the Public Security Bureau: "Okay, I also have something to say." ”

The two of them sat opposite each other in the study, their expressions extremely serious.

Xiang Tianxiao spoke first, and he sighed lightly: "You shouldn't let him turn himself in, he is still young, and this will ruin his future." ”

Wei Renwu responded: "I didn't persuade him, I didn't force him, this is his own choice, just like that day in your office, I didn't demolish you, and because it was your choice." ”

"He's not the same as me, he's young, I'm old, you should see this situation clearly and persuade him not to do stupid things."

"I don't care about the situation or not, I just know that whoever wants to do anything is his freedom."

"However, he will be sentenced to more than ten years."

"No, it won't."

"Why not?"

"After making up for it, it will be light."

"What do you mean?"

Wei Renwu briefly recounted to Xiang Tianxiao how he assisted the police in solving the "Guojianglong Group" drug case in the past few days.

Xiang Tian smiled, this was a happy smile, and he sincerely thanked: "Wei Renwu, I really didn't misunderstand you, if Akai is like this, he can at least half the sentence be less." ”

Wei Renwu smiled and said: "You're welcome, I'm not all for you, I just think it's fun to smash the 'Crossing the River Dragon' criminal group." ”

"Thank you anyway. Anyway, now that Akai is in prison, there is a shortage of manpower by my side, can you..."

"I can't." Wei Renwu interrupted him, "It's okay to be a superior, it's okay to be a friend, besides, you are a person worthy of my respect, I am willing to be friends with you." ”

Xiang Tian smiled and said: "It's okay to be friends, but I really deserve the word respect!" ”

"No, you can afford it, I, Wei Renwu, rarely respect a person in my life, you are indeed one."

"Why do you say that?"

"Then I'll ask you one thing first, and you have to answer me honestly."

"What's the matter?"

Wei Renwu paused and said, "You said that you had an illegitimate child that day, you were talking about Li Kai." ”

Xiang Tian smiled and sighed, "Hey, it seems that Akai has already told you." ”

"You're lying!" Wei Renwu suddenly shouted.

This sentence startled Xiang Tianxiao.

Wei Renwu said lightly: "Li Kai is not your son at all. ”

Xiang Tianxiao didn't speak, but the frightened expression on his face had already given the answer.

Wei Renwu continued: "More than 20 years ago, you and your maid fell in love for a long time, and also did some things that lonely men and widows would do, and then you drove the maid away, who knew that the maid was already pregnant with Li Kai when she left, and soon after, Li Kai was born, and when Li Kai was four years old, the maid passed away, and then Li Kai was picked up by you from the street. ”

Xiang Tian smiled and listened, listening to it without missing a word.

"However, these are all made up by you for Li Kai to hear, because you know that he needs father's love."

"It's not all made up, either." Xiang Tianxiao finally responded.

"Of course not all, you did have a maid at home before, and the maid was indeed Li Kai's mother, but you didn't fall in love with that maid, it's just that the maid fell in love with you wishfully."

"How do you know that?"

"When Li Kai told me that story, I wondered, if you really love the maid, why would you abandon her?"

"Then why do you say so?"

"Because you already have someone in your heart, and you can't tolerate others, so it makes a lot more sense."

"How do you know that?"

"Once there is something unreasonable, I want to find out, so I started this matter and investigated many things, such as Li Kai is not your son, he is heartbroken after the maid left you, and he was pregnant with other men, I carefully investigated his real birth time, and it didn't coincide with the time when you abandoned the maid, from this incident, I deduced the stories you made up, which ones are fake and which ones are true."

"You're really remarkable enough to be able to get these investigations clear in such a short period of time."

Wei Renwu laughed and said, "It's also thanks to a college classmate who is a police officer. ”

"By the way, do you know which things are true and which things are false?"

"What I said just now, what I found out is true, and there are many fakes, the jade pendant is a fake thing that you gave it, the fact that Li Kai is your son is a fake thing, and the incident that you and Li Kai met by chance on the street is also fake, how can there be such a coincidental thing in the world. In fact, you have long known that Li Kai is the son of your former maid, and you have deliberately investigated the movements of their mother and son, and the neighbors who have helped him have all been arranged by you, even when you meet Li Kai on the street, you have arranged it, all out of your guilt for the maid, and the guilt of a person who has been abandoned by you and loves you. Having said all this, I actually want to say, this is what I respect for you, and how big it takes to be able to do this to a stranger. ”

Xiang Tianxiao faced the ceiling, his eyes closed, and he sighed lightly: "For so many years, I have been treating Akai like my own son, in other words, he is my son, I also hope that he has a complete father's love, so I lied to him and said that I am his biological father." ”

"Actually, if he investigates a little, he can know the truth, but he prefers to believe that this story is the truth."

Xiang Tianxiao opened his eyes and said solemnly: "Wei Renwu, since you know everything, I hope you can keep this secret." ”

Wei Renwu showed an evil smile, and he smiled: "God knows, you know and I know." ”

Xiang Tian smiled and said, "Compared to this, I'm more worried about you now." ”

"What are you worried about me?"

"I'm worried about what you're going to do next."

"I'm not going to hide it, I've already planned it, and I'm just going to say goodbye to you today."

Xiang Tianxiao was surprised: "Oh? Where are you going? ”

"Chengdu."

"Why are you there?"

"Didn't I meet one of my college classmates this time, I asked him about another classmate who was a policeman in Chengdu, and I was going to go to her and do what I should do, didn't you tell me, to find my heart."

Xiang Tianxiao said with satisfaction: "If that's the case, I support you to go." ”

Wei Renwu stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave." ”

Xiang Tianxiao was surprised: "Are you going to leave now?" Don't finish eating? ”

"No, I won't be able to catch up after eating, I just want to say goodbye to you."

"Then if you go over there, will you contact me again?"

"Yes, I'll write to you."

Saying that, Wei Renwu had already walked to the door of the study, he turned around, smiled and asked: "The world says that you have never married in your life because you have a favorite girl, Li Kai said that the girl is his mother, obviously not, I am curious who that person is?" ”

Xiang Tian laughed out loud, but he just didn't respond to Wei Renwu.

Time went back to Wei Renwu and Yue Ming's house seven years later.

Yue Ming said with relish: "What happened later? What happened next? ”

Wei Renwu smoked a cigarette and said: "Later, of course, I came to Chengdu, and when I was free, I wrote some letters to the boss." ”

Xiang Tianxiao took over the conversation and said: "Yes, every letter will include a photo of you and those beauties in the 'Miracle Bar', but what is strange to me is that you never tell me your phone number or other contact information." ”

Wei Renwu pursed his lips and said, "I'm afraid that you will call if you have something to do, so I will be very distressed, you must know that I am very busy." ”

Yue Ming glanced at Wei Renwu and said mockingly: "Busy picking up girls." ”

Wei Renwu and Xiang Tian looked at each other, and they both laughed, and suddenly the whole room was filled with hearty laughter.

Yue Ming was infected by the laughter, and laughed too.
