Chapter 0179: A Heavy Blow

Xia Chenghao sighed softly, and he picked up the envelope with a faint smell of perfume. Pulling out the most primitive paper from it, and looking at the scribbled handwriting, he read softly:

Dear young gentleman in a black trench coat, hello!

You left the box in my car and waited for you to come back and pick it up that day, but it didn't wait until the next morning. I really can't help it, I remember that you said that you would go to the police station that day, so you also went to the police station on Monday, but you still didn't show up. So I had to take the box back to Yizhou, and I originally wanted to put it in the lost and found office of the low-altitude shuttle port, but I was afraid of causing you unnecessary trouble, so I asked my wife to take it back and put it at an acquaintance.

We think that one day you will want to work back for him.

Also, because I waited at the police station for a long time, I asked you about some things when I was idle. But the overall result was not good, Mary's Orphanage was destroyed in a fire eight years ago, and many people died at that time, and I heard that the director and the nurses were also killed in the fire. All the files in the hospital were also destroyed by fire, and the few remaining people have been transferred to the Baogang City Social Welfare Institute.

I heard that the orphanage called Mary did not have the qualifications to complete the work, so there was no more complete record, and the government department could find a more detailed file. There is some information here for your reference.

After reading this short paragraph, although Xia Chenghao's face did not change much, his heart became colder and colder.

He flipped to the back of a few sheets of paper that had been secretly photographed and printed, and there was a list of casualties at that time. The first on the list is the dean, and then there are a few friends that Xia Chenghao is familiar with, and they don't even have their real names.

Xia Chenghao took a deep breath and raised his head, his chest was already pressed by a 10,000-ton boulder and could not breathe, and he had to open his mouth wide to help him breathe. In an instant, tears came out of his eyes and ran down his face.

He gently put down the letter paper in his hand, and after holding on for less than three seconds, he still couldn't help but rush into the bathroom, and quickly unscrewed the water jet to the maximum, so that the dozens of water jets shot out and hit him heavily on his head and face.

The crystal water has instantly washed away the tears on his face, and the water has also wet his thick long coat, and the muddy dirty water flows down the corner of the clothes in the tank, dyeing the snow-white porcelain surface black and yellow, and then the large water flow keeps washing the small pond with a radius of less than two square meters, and the large piece of dirty water with mud and sand is drained away.

Xia Chenghao grabbed the neckline and pulled it hard, a sharp sound of cloth tearing mixed with a series of buttons cracking, the original sturdy fabric had turned into a few pieces of shapeless rags, and the black buttons made them fall apart in this violent force, and a series of crisp and sad sounds were made in the multiple collisions between the porcelain bathtub and the ground.

Those three or four years of dependence on each other, what difficult years, and the good and bad past in memory were really completely burned by such a fire?

Xia Chenghao slowly knelt down under the water column, closed his eyes, and the torrent of tears soaked his whole body, and the cold feeling spread quickly along his skin to his whole body, but the resentment and sadness in his heart were still as strong as black hellfire.

At 3:25 the next morning, Xia Chenghao slowly opened his eyes, he was still in the bathtub, in fact, he hadn't gone out since he entered this place last night.

For six hours he lay in the icy water, the rain of the sprinklers that made him feel like he had returned to the purgatory of the decade, and he was immersed in the ever-surging waters of the waves and rain.

A dream was rolling in his mind, sometimes sinking weakly into the water, watching the wind be wrapped in huge waves and pressed into the water, turning into large bubbles rising around him, sometimes he struggled to float, tilted his head and breathed heavily, only with such a vent could he slowly press down the male flame that kept burning in his heart, although the black flame from hell could never be extinguished by such a stream, but at least now he seemed to have returned to normal.

Xia Chenghao stood up, took a deep breath, turned his head to look at himself in the mirror, his perfect body was lifeless like a statue under the stimulation of the water, he shook his head vigorously, and his black hair shook up a black curtain and scattered water droplets, hitting the mirror like a downpour.

Half an hour later, Xia Chenghao took a shower and changed into the same black clothes.

Sitting down in the living room, I took out my wallet and documents from my torn clothes, all soaked, especially my passport.

He sighed, and began to dry the pieces of paper with the hair dryer in the bathroom, but fortunately they were all mimeographed things, and the paper was quite good, and after drying, it was no different except for a little wrinkle, and the bills looked a little newer.

He shook his head vigorously at the two rags and the black buttons on the floor, and then took out the bag from the cabinet and threw all the buttons and rags into it. I wanted to put it in the trash, but it would be better to burn it to ashes after looking at it.

Just watched in amazement as all the waste turned to ashes.

At half-past four, he opened the door, and it was time to go down and settle his fortune, and if he had time, he could go to a meal. It's been a long time since I've eaten.

Holding his suitcase in one hand and his coat in the other, the cuffs of his hand passed through the door, and the door closed softly, as if someone was pushing the door behind it.

At this time, the door on the opposite side also happened to open, and Lou Haidong walked out, carrying a box in his hand.

After seeing Xia Chenghao, his first reaction was not to say hello, but he quickly came back to his senses and tried to squeeze out a smile. But what he saw was a young man walking past him with a blank face.

Lou Haidong's eyes shifted from the black coat to the high-end dress in Xia Chenghao's hand, he didn't have such a handsome dress when he entered the door yesterday.

He shook his head in confusion and followed from a distance, but the young man did not take the elevator but went down the stairs.

The front desk is still the same waiter as yesterday, and this time of the afternoon is the most sleepy. There was almost no one in the hall, except for Xia Chenghao and Lou Haidong, who was about to come over, there were just two security guards.

"Checkout." Xia Chenghao said lightly, "Has dinner started?" ”

"Mr. Abigail, the restaurant is on the ground floor, go in from there." The waiter's mood suddenly improved today, she stared at Xia Chenghao and said with a smile, and compared a door on the side of the hall with her hand, "Dinner is already included in your room rate." ”

Xia Chenghao nodded and walked over there, while Lou Haidong glanced at Xia Chenghao and also walked towards the front desk.
