118 But I love you
There is a casino owned by Li Yu's family in this city, and we decided to settle Miss Zheng there first. By the time we arrived at the casino, it was already three days old, and several of us felt a little hungry, so we stayed at the casino to eat.
Li Yu has a makeshift office here, but according to his own words, he has not been there.
There is a huge window in this office, and there is special glass on it that can be seen from the inside, but not from the outside. The windows face the casino, so you can see everything inside. Although it was daytime, there were still a lot of gamblers.
Miss Zheng was immediately frightened when she saw the scene outside, and her eyes changed when she looked at us. I totally understand her actions, and a public kindergarten teacher would probably never come into contact with such a place.
Probably because Qinglan sat with her all the way and comforted her for a long time, her attitude towards Qinglan was much better than that of us. So Li Yu motioned to Qinglan to take her to the next door with the food, so that she could eat something and calm down.
After the two of them went out, Li Yu looked at me with a smile for a while, until I was a little uncomfortable, and then asked, "How do you feel?" β
I said, "Maybe it's all a scam?" β
He nodded and said, "This is an escapism, right?" β
I asked, "So you think this woman is telling the truth?" β
Li Yu nodded, "Do you think there's something wrong with what she said?" β
I said, "That's nonsense." And about my parents, what she said was completely different from what you told me last time. β
"Of course it can't be the same." Li Yu said: "They can't say to their son, 'Boy, you are the product of our extramarital affair, and the reason why we don't want your sister is because we teamed up to kill her father', right?'" β
I said, "Don't talk about it." β
"I want you to face this head-on." He said, "After all, we're going to save your brother." β
I didn't speak.
"And this time I learned much better information than I knew last time." Li Yu said softly: "Last time, I didn't know that your brother was still thinking about you in his heart. Although you have not taken care of him all these years, your relationship has not been affected in the slightest. β
I said, "You're mistaken, I didn't like him when I was a kid because my dad worked outside the home all the year round and rarely came home, and my mom preferred my younger brother...... It was only in the process of taking care of him later that I slowly developed a relationship with him. β
Li Yu nodded and said, "But he cares about you in his heart." β
I shook my head and said, "You don't understand. β
He observed my expression and asked, "Is that because of Mom?" β
I said, "Stop talking about it." β
"I can't believe that my mother is such a person," he said, "but they are all dead, and it doesn't matter if you still see her according to what you know about her in the past, and your brother who is still alive still cares about you, and if we can be reunited smoothly this time, it will be a happy event." β
I shook my head and said, "It's not that I can't believe it, it's that I'm afraid it's true." β
He stopped talking, just looked at me.
I said, "After the accident in my family, I always miss my mother. When I'm tired, I think it's good if I find my mother, and when I'm in pain, I think it's good if I find my mother, I'm scared, sad, and lonely...... In every painful moment, I would think, it would be good if I found my mother. β
He looked at me with a gentle gaze.
I seldom spoke to him because I was afraid that he would attack me in this way.
But today is different, I need a channel to solve it, I need to talk about these things. Because I also know very well that I must calmly go with Li Yu to rescue Song Jiayan next.
I said, "Actually, I remember a lot of my mother's shortcomings, she was partial to me, she always played me and my dad, she always played cards, and she always forgot to cook for us because of this." But in those difficult days, I gradually forgot about it, and instead fantasized about her to perfection, because only in this way can I persevere. β
Li Yu listened silently, still silent.
I took a sip of water and continued: "I was reunited with her, and she still likes to play cards, has no job, and has no insurance. She asked me all day for money, food and clothing, and always bought luxury goods, which quickly drained my savings. She still treats me badly, and will beat me, I don't dare to resist, and I don't want to resist, I finally have a mother, I hope to be hurt by her, although this hope has been disappointed, it is good to be by her side. β
He reached out and took my hand to comfort me.
I said, "Now that you know why I'm scared of this topic, I know it's true." But I don't want to admit it, I need something to hold me up so that my heart doesn't collapse. β
Li Yu nodded and said, "Will that brother make you feel better?" β
"I don't know." I said, "My heart is in turmoil, and I'll have to wait until I see him." β
Li Yu nodded, his expression a little strange.
I asked, "What's your expression?" β
He shook his head slightly disappointed, "Nothing. β
I said, "I'm sorry. β
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It's okay. β
I know he's disappointed because it has nothing to do with him, but there's no way he's going to be able to say it right now. I say I'm sorry, but also because I hope he misunderstood.
Just then, I suddenly caught a glimpse of what seemed to be something wrong in the casino downstairs.
As soon as I looked over there, Li Yu followed suit, and then smiled and said, "Someone smashed our field." β
Indeed, a group of people had gathered downstairs at some point, and their faces could be seen well from this angle. This group of people looked calm, dressed in suits and leather shoes, and were very Sven.
But that's what makes it dangerous, in fact, most of those with bald tattoos don't make it.
It wasn't like this all of a sudden, but the casino staff seemed to be in good order, and no one bothered us.
I asked Li Yu, "What are they doing?" β
"It's just trouble," Li Yu stood up and said, "Occasionally, there will be this kind of thing, most of them are small characters who are not long-sighted, thinking that this can make some benefits from the casino." β
I asked, "What ......about you?"
Suddenly, he came over and threw his arms around me.
I was completely defenseless, and I couldn't help but be stunned.
"You had tears in your eyes just now, but I couldn't say a word." He said, "I can't comfort you, I'm happy." And until now, I have not been able to prove that my happiness is not based on your pain. β
I said, "Actually, it's not ......."
"I also know that you can't use me as your new spiritual pillar, and even if you are willing to let go of hatred, I don't even have the ability to stand alone." "I can't tell when it will hurt you," he said. β
I didn't interject again this time, knowing he hadn't finished yet.
Sure enough, he said, "But I love you." He paused and whispered, "I know I'm a naΓ―ve, emotional fool in your heart, and there are many important people in your heart, but I'm definitely not on the list, and whenever I think of this, I hate you." β
I couldn't help but ask, "Then why do you still love me?" β
He seemed to be stopped by my question, and after a moment of silence, he sighed, "What's the reason?" β
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
Li Yu let go of me and said, "Come in." β
The person who came was the person in charge of the casino, and his expression trembled, and he said, "Master Carp, something happened downstairs." β
Li Yu said with a cold face: "You can't even solve this kind of trivial matter? β
"We can do it, but the cause of this incident is that the Miss Qing who came with you was arrested by them," said the person in charge, "but they insisted on not admitting it, and we did not allow them to leave, so they made trouble." I want to arrange to close the door directly, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave until I find Miss Qing, what do you think? β
Li Yu said: "According to what you say, what about the other young lady who is with Qinglan?" β
She was in the next room, and she said that someone had just come suddenly, and Miss Qing went to open the door, and then she went directly with the other party, and asked her not to worry. She didn't tell us the first time. The person in charge told us the situation and made arrangements: "We didn't know about the situation until our people went to collect their dishes." Although the surveillance did not capture anything, these were the only ones who had the time to do so, so they were the only ones under suspicion. β
In other words, Qinglan was taken from the room, but the surveillance did not catch anything. That is, now they lack the evidence to prove that the matter was done by those people, by reasoning alone, and those people denying it. Moreover, although the Li family earns black money, it is legal to open a casino here, and it is an underworld act to lock gamblers in it and not allow people to leave.
I was already panicking, but Li Yu was still calm, and said, "Send someone to bring the young lady next door." You're staying here too, what's the origin of those guys? β
As he spoke, he looked outside, and I quickly followed to look that way, and the situation below looked the same as just now, after all, it was impossible for the casino to make a big deal about the temporary closure and prohibition of entry, so the gamblers were relatively calm.
The person in charge said: "They are a subordinate named Lao Gui, this person is a local snakehead, and he can eat well here." β
Li Yu asked, "Does he raise killers?" β
"No," the person in charge said, "but in the past, he also took over the murder business, but he could only kill some smugglers without identity, and they all made it ugly, and they were stared at for a long time." But he hasn't shown much lately, his wife and daughter are doing things, and they are doing more high-end murder business, and they are also more good-looking. β
Li Yu nodded and said to me, "It seems that we will have to leave to see this old ghost immediately." β
I said, "Let's find Qinglan first!" β
"I'll leave this matter to them, as long as the person is still in the casino, it will be fine," Li Yu said, "If it's not there, it's in the old ghost." β
