Chapter 2 There are gods in the head
At eight o'clock in the evening, the clubhouse of Beicheng New District, the dressing room on the second floor.
Gu Lixia sat in front of the makeup mirror, looking at her makeup - indigo eyebrows, bright red lips, and long eyeliner, she was still not satisfied, she turned out a box of cotton swabs, and planned to remove and redraw, her hand shook, and the slender and long cotton swabs spilled all over the ground.
I've been really unlucky lately.
Before the opening time came, a few beautiful girls in sexy clothes were playing cards, and the room was filled with smoke, sandwiched with the smell of fine perfume and rouge, and the smell was choking.
Hearing the movement, the girls threw strange glances here, Gu Lixia was too lazy to take care of it, and he didn't care about the mess, picked up the lighter from the table and lit a cigarette.
The hand holding the cigarette is very beautiful, snow-white and slender, and the nails are dyed with red Kodan, which is infinitely charming when you look at it, but the fly in the ointment is that this hand is the same as Gu Yu, without a little thumb.
She steadied herself, took out her cigarette, picked up the cotton swab, carefully wiped off the dissatisfaction, and carefully hooked the corners of her eyes with eyeliner.
Her eyes were originally well-born, with wide and deep double eyelids, which are most suitable for such a large heavy makeup.
Today is her first day at the newly opened clubhouse, and she has saved nothing after so many years of working outside. Now that my hands have stopped, I have a lot of bad debts that have not been repaid, and I finally got this job, but I don't dare to make any mistakes.
The manager on duty walked into the dressing room and beckoned the female publicist to go out to receive guests. When he shouted to Lixia, Lixia's spirit was lifted, and he quickly picked up the puff and slapped it on his face a few times, which was considered to be the makeup, stood up, and looked in the mirror again.
The manager on duty was a little impatient and left with someone. Lixia didn't dare to continue grinding, and immediately followed.
Everyone says that Beicheng is a treasure land, most like the history of this island, like a girl who has read all the vicissitudes of life, although she has experienced chaos, she is still full of charms, and every night, prosperity is better.
On closer inspection, this is indeed the case.
There are a total of nine urban districts on Hong Kong Island, and the northern city is one of the most prominent, which can be called a "legend" on Hong Kong Island.
This place was once known as the City of Darkness, but because of history and war, it has been in a state of "three regardless" for nearly a hundred years.
The lack of law and order management has turned this territory the size of dried tofu into a breeding ground for crimeβbrothels, tobacco houses, and gambling dens are everywhere, black market clinics have sprung up from time to time, and criminals of all stripes have fled into the city to avoid pursuit.
It was not until the 90s of the last century that the managers of the two sides decided to put an end to this chaotic situation after consultation, so they demolished the old city in batches, moved the original inhabitants out, resettled, and only a small part was preserved as a historical relic, leaving it for future generations to see, commemorating the controversial but indelible past.
The wheel of history is always moving forward, crushing all the irrationality of "existence is reasonable".
Today's Beicheng, driven by the reclamation project, the urban area is constantly expanding, all kinds of enjoyment are available, and the prosperity is also increasing day by day.
The address of Han Tang's newly opened club is in the most prosperous and erosive area of Beicheng New District. The shops on the street in this area have always been in high demand, and investors are flocking to them, and they can't buy them with money.
The Han family relied on their own to make a fortune here, with big roots and deep roots, and a large number of people, and it was very "shameless" to take nearly sixty percent of the street stores in the new area as their own.
Han Shuyi took advantage of the light of the box to look at his cousin's silent face, his eyes fell on Han Tang's neck, and he went around again.
Han Tang ignored him, drank in a sullen voice, but didn't drink heavily, took a few sips, put it down again, and after a while, picked it up again, picked it up and didn't drink it, pinched it in his hand and played with it, his complexion was faint, and he didn't know what to think.
Han Shu cleared his throat, and finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, and was about to open his mouth to ask what happened, but he didn't expect Han Tang to grab his face, and asked endlessly: "Shu Yi, what do you think...... Which psychiatric hospital on Hong Kong Island is convenient? I'm going to send her in. β
Han Shuyi was stunned by his question, reacted, and couldn't cry or laugh: "Brother, let's stop making trouble, because of a tooth mark, it won't be ......."
"Not really?" Han Tang gritted his teeth and pointed to his neck, the red tooth marks on it were very eye-catching, "What should I do?" This woman, I should have thrown her in a mental hospital and let the fire burn to death! β
Han Tang touched his chest as he spoke, his heart hurt, his liver hurt, and in the end, he couldn't figure out where it hurt - in short, he felt that because of this tooth mark, both physically and mentally, he was extremely hurt, and at this moment, he was in pain all five insides, and his liver and gallbladder were split.
Han Shu couldn't help but laugh, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
Since a few years ago, the girl named Chu Xia was brought back to the Han family's old house on Hong Kong Island by Han Tang from a prosperous city in the north, I don't know why, Han Shuyi always had a hunch that something would happen between them sooner or later.
The truth is just as he expected-
Rumors are flying all over the place, and there are all kinds of speculations about this mysterious woman who lives in the old mansion of the Han family all the year round, is hidden by the boss of the Han family, and never shows up.
Some people say that she has been friends with Han Tang for many years, she is a woman Han Tang hides outside, and after Han Tang is in charge, she took her back, she has already given birth to two boys and a girl for Han Tang, for fear that the enemy will worry about it, the child has been placed abroad, the youngest is still breastfeeding, and the oldest will play soy sauce.
After Han Tang heard about it, he laughed, but he didn't say a word, and his ambiguous attitude made this rumor even more mysterious, so that there were many versions on the rivers and lakes, and the legend of one race after another was circulated.
It's no wonder that outsiders think too much, because even the clan relatives of the Han family can't figure out the origin of this woman, and Han Tang has always acted with iron blood, and no one dares to question his private life casually.
When the uncle of the family heard the news, he could only stroke his beard and sigh: "The times are different, and we can't control the affairs of young people." But if you do have children, this genealogy ...... It's still going to be on. β
Rumors are like snow, and they are spreading one after another, only Han Shuyi, who often goes in and out of the Han family's old house, knows the truth - the rumors in the market have never been true, and the children or something are even more false.
But there was one thing they were rightβhis cousin was really in love with the girl, but he was ...... People don't love him.
So after so many years, Han Tang's love for her is true love, and hatred is also true hatred, because she can't ask for it, she always makes this relationship a little mysterious and dangerous. But he has said cruel things countless times, but none of them have really been implemented.
Han Shu knew in his heart that even if the girl had already branded her teeth on Han Tang's neck, the boss of the Han family, who had always been the best, would not do anything to her.
If there is anyone in this world who Han Tang will never hurt or want to hurt, she is probably the only one.
There was a knock on the door outside, and someone whispered, "Mr. Han, Ye Shao has arrived." β
Han Tang nodded slightly, pulled his collar, and the man in black guarding the door pushed open the heavy door of the box, and a slender young man walked in under the support of several tall and strong people.
Han Tang put down his wine glass, stood up, and shook hands with the visitor. The other party's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, his laughter is hearty, Sven is decent, and there is no arrogance.
However, as soon as Han Shu looked at that smiling face, he was in a good mood, but he fell to the bottom in an instant. Yes, he didn't want to see this person - the head of the Ye clan, the son of Uncle Ye, Ye Nianze.
Although before coming, Han Shuyi had already done a good job of mental construction, and told himself over and over again: The past is the past, the dead have died, the living have to live, the past has passed, and those who can't get over have to endure it.
But when he really faced it, Han Shuyi realized that he really overestimated his endurance. He stood back, looking down at the cups and bottles on the coffee table, feeling that it would take all his strength to control himself from grabbing the bottle and smashing it on the man's head.
Compared with Han Shuyi's restraint and forbearance, Ye Nianze's expression was much calmer, and he looked at Han Shuyi as if he was looking at a friend who had been absent for a long time, as if nothing had happened.
Although Han Shuyi had been in a fugue throughout the negotiation process, there were no major mistakes. After explaining the content of the project in concise and professional language, he answered the questions raised by the other party in detail and without losing focus, and he successfully completed the task, and did not say a word more.
Ye Nianze obviously knew that Han Shuyi, the young master, was not pleasing to his eyes, not because he had the ability to read minds, but because the other party was too obvious and obvious...... Even Han Tang felt embarrassed.
However, the demeanor of the Ye family is well deserved, and he is not angry at all, and when Mr. Xiao Han answers all the questions, he also said "thank you" to him very politely, with a calm and steady attitude and just the right smile.
In contrast, it seems that this Mr. Xiao Han is a little angry.
Overall, the conversation went smoothly this time - Ye Nianze was careful in the details, but he was not informal. It can be seen that he is determined to win this project and is quite sincere.
After the big event was discussed, the people on both sides relaxed, the door of the box slowly opened, and several beautiful women with exquisite figures and good looks entered like elves.
Someone sensibly turns on the music and dims the lights, and it's time for the soul to be gone.
But I don't know why, Han Shuyi always felt that one of the girls in a red low-cut dress was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. He couldn't help but look at her twice. The girl didn't look at him, she kept shrinking behind Han Tang, just lowering her head, as if there was money growing on the ground.
Han Shuyi became more and more puzzled, and had the desire to find out, until the two looked at each other, and in the dim light, he saw the face with heavy makeup clearly, and felt very strange, far from the appearance of someone in his memory.
He felt confused, and looked at Ye Nianze opposite, the other party noticed his gaze, smiled politely, and still looked like a humble gentleman, and his expression was not abnormal.
Han Shu thought for a while: He must have recognized the wrong person, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.
After three rounds of wine, talking and laughing, the warblers in the box laughed and steamed.
Han Shu felt bored, so he found an excuse to go outside to breathe, and turned to the corner of the fire escape alone, looking through the glass at the city at night in the distance.
Due to light pollution, the city has long been starlight at night, and there is no pure darkness. Raise your eyes and look at it, only to see a piece of flowing lights like water, connected with the sky, the colorful lights go straight to the sky, the billboards reflect each other, the whole city is brilliantly lit, like a mirage in the desert, like a dream, dazzling, even the edge of the city and the place where the sky meets, are glowing with a faint glow of red.
He was in a trance, looking at the flowers in front of him, the prosperous scene like cooking oil, and he didn't know where he was for a while.
He thought: This place is day and night, greed, hatred, hatred, and lust, and it is a city of ten thousand beasts.
After the drunken people dispersed, Han Shuyi couldn't drive after drinking, Han Tang took the driver out, and naturally he was responsible for sending him home.
It was quiet in the car, and Han Shu looked out the window at the night and didn't speak, as if there was something outside that particularly attracted him.
Han Tang put down the documents in his hand, glanced at his cousin, and advised: "This cooperation with that side, you should pay more attention to legal matters." You know, I'm not good at that, and I can't trust anyone else. After thinking about it, he added, "You must be careful, don't look at the Ye family's company is already on track, Ye Nianze looks like a Sven person, he is not a good stubble." β
Han Shu came back to his senses and nodded: "Okay, my lawyer's firm will be responsible for following up, and I will personally review all the correspondence documents, and there will be no problems." β
Han Tang lowered his head and thought about it, raised his eyes to look at Han Shuyi, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to mention it.
In the end, it was Han Shuyi who smiled bitterly: "I understand that this cooperation is something that has been decided a long time ago, and I will meet sooner or later with the surname Ye." I'm not afraid to meet him, but when I think of what happened back then, my heart is a little uncomfortable. At this point, he paused and said in a low voice, "Probably, it is not him who disgusts me, but myself at that time." β
Han Tang stared at him for a long time, and finally sighed: "Forgive me, that incident is not your fault. β
Han Shu looked at the street lamp flashing outside the window, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Yes, it wasn't his fault - he had been comforting himself like this for so many years.
It wasn't his fault, he just made a good decision at an extraordinary moment, and that's it.
However, such psychological hints did not make him feel better.
Every time he thinks of the people and things in his memory, the tears, the blood, the corpse of that person, and the bizarre way in which he died in the detention centerβhis heart can't be at peace, no matter what, as long as there is an opportunity, even a small touch, those inescapable memories and guilt, like a flood that has broken the floodgates, bursting out.
For so many years, he had been thinking, if he could go and see that person back then, would he be able to save something? If he had intervened earlier, would he have been able to prevent some tragedies from happening? However, that "if" can only be imagined forever. In fact, he really didn't do anything and watched it happen.
That's six years.
Seeing that Han Shuyi didn't answer, Han Tang paused, and said: "Back then, the Ye family wanted Gu Qingming's whole family to die, and you at least saved his two younger sisters, which can be regarded as worthy of him." β
Hearing Han Tang's words, Han Shu pursed his lips and smiled, didn't answer his words, and looked at the smooth road in front of him, only feeling sarcastic and panicked.
The two brothers were speechless for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Han Tang simply closed his eyes and recuperated, and no longer cared about this cousin who had blamed himself for six years. As soon as he closed his eyes, he remembered something again, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What are the names of the three brothers and sisters of the Gu family?" β
Han Shu was stunned for a moment, not understanding why his cousin could ask this, and replied: "Qingming, Lixia, Gu Yu." β
Gu Qingming's father was a teacher, but he didn't pay much attention to naming these three siblings, and directly used the twenty-four solar terms, which saved a lot of effort.
Han Tang frowned, glanced at Han Shuyi, thought for a moment, and finally said, "When you went out just now, I heard the word 'Xia' in the name of a female publicist. On a whim, I asked her what her real name was, and she began to spit out, and later put it in my ear and said that her name was Gu Lixia. β
Han Shuyi was surprised, remembering the woman in red just now: "Could it be a duplicate name?" β
Han Tang looked at Han Shuyi and said slowly, "There are still ...... I saw her right hand, which had only four fingers. β
Driving on the main road, in the deep quiet night, the headlights in the front row draw a light like water.
Ye Nianze carefully read the contract prepared by Han Shuyi, and couldn't help but nod. In the end, he is a professional lawyer, clearly organized, accurate in his words, and every detail is handled accurately and without leakage.
He threw the contract to Qin Chuan and instructed: "Leave it to the company's legal counsel tomorrow, and let them check it carefully before officially signing the contract." β
Qin Chuan took the contract with a somewhat solemn expression: "I seem to have seen someone just now." β
Ye Nianze closed his eyes and asked casually, "Who is it?" β
"Gu Lixia."
He slowly opened his eyes, his eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Gu Qingming's sister? β
Qin Chuan nodded: "It's her." β
Ye Nianze lowered his head and thought about it, but he didn't remember that he had seen her just now, and asked, "Which one?" β
"Sitting on Han Tang's right hand, wearing a red low-cut suit. She doesn't know Han Tang, but she should know you and Han Shuyi, this girl is also well-behaved, and she didn't say a word from beginning to end. β
"Wasn't that club just now the Han family's property?"
"Yes, sixty percent of the entertainment clubs in the new district are under the Han family." Speaking of this, Qin Chuan sighed, "When Gu Qingming died, this sister was still in college, I used to be sven, I almost thought I was wrong just now." Later, when I saw the woman's hand, I was sure that it was her. β
Ye Nianze sneered: "Back then, Han Shuyi almost turned his face with us for the sake of Gu Qingming. Now Gu Qingming's younger sister has gone to the Han family's territory to do it*. What is this? Every miller draws water to his own mill? This Gu Lixia really gave her brother a long face. Ye Nianze's fingers tapped on the cushion, as if he thought of something, and asked casually, "Does Gu Qingming have two younger sisters?" β
"Yes, there is another one named Gu Guyu, who is two years younger than Gu Lixia."
Qin Chuan observed Ye Nianze's expression, only to see Ye Nianze nodding, closing his eyes again, nothing abnormal, obviously not caring about this little accident.
Qin Chuan was worried: "Will something go wrong?" I looked at Han Shuyi's face tonight, and he never let go of what happened back then. β
Ye Nianze rubbed the corners of his forehead and said lightly: "What if he didn't put it down?" He could watch it back then, but what can he do now? β
Qin Chuan reminded him: "Six years ago, it wasn't that he didn't want to care. At that time, he was not in the gang, he had no power in his hands, he couldn't control it. Now it is no longer what it used to be, and he is no longer the weak scholar he was six years ago. We are talking about cooperation with the Han family, and now there is a Gu Lixia, I am worried about ......"
Ye Nianze laughed, turned his face to look at Qin Chuan: "What are you worried about?" I gave the order to have one of their sisters' fingers chopped off. But Gu Lixia went to sit on the stage, but I didn't force it. He turned his face to the car window, looking at the night outside the car window, his expression was indifferent, "When Han Shu came to ask for someone, I said that it was okay to release people, but it was just a matter of words, but the Ye family would block all their ways of life, and no one could give them any funding." In the territory of Hong Kong Island, it is also a crime to let them live like this, so it is better to give them a good time. Is he going to take people away, and now Gu Lixia has come out to sell it himself, but it's on my head? β
Qin Chuan glanced at him and didn't say anything more.
After a while, Qin Chuan sighed: "There is a god three feet up, Aze, do you really think that you have no responsibility for their sisters' affairs?" β
On the same night, as soon as Han Shu returned home, he didn't sleep all night for the words "Gu Lixia".
The next morning, he arrived at his law firm early, sat down at his desk, opened the drawer, and pulled out a file from the bottom of a stack of papers. The information in the file records a violent murder of his wife that shocked the whole city six years ago.
The victim is Ye Nianze's sister Ye Qiaoqiao, and the murderer is Ye Nianze's brother-in-law, Han Shuyi's best friend - Gu Qingming.
Han Shu looked at the dossier, it had been six years, and the pages had turned a little yellow, but everything back then was like a painting that would never fade, which could only be described as "vivid".
He could memorize almost every piece of information, every paragraph, and even every word in the dossier.
The victim, Ye Qiaoqiao, was killed in the bedroom of his home, and was stabbed six times, the most fatal of which was in the neck, and the knife cut almost one-third of the neck. Ye Qiaoqiao finally lost blood and died.
Such a cruel method makes people shudder.
After the tragedy, the media poured out, and the Ye family had a head and face in the city, which alarmed Hong Kong Island for a while.
The preliminary results of the police investigation came very quickly - the fingerprints on the murder knife, the testimony of neighbors, and the forensic officers collected only two sets of fingerprints and footprints of the deceased and her husband at the scene of the crime, and all the prima facie evidence pointed to one person.
When Gu Qingming was taken away by the police, Han Shuyi was by his side, Han Shuyi couldn't forget the desperate eyes of this friend, Gu Qingming said hoarsely to everyone that he didn't kill anyone!
But the police evidence was very unfavorable to him, the media overwhelmingly reported, the details of the bloody case, the tragic situation of the deceased, and the murderer's crime was heinous.
All of them were sentencing before trial, spitting on the deceased's husband in all kinds of vicious language, as inhumane as a beast, who should be cut by a thousand knives and go to eighteen layers of hell.
No one believed that he was innocent, and even Han Shuyi didn't say anything on the surface, and slowly began to doubt the credibility of this old friend's argument in his heart.
Because the chain of evidence held by the police is basically complete: the murder weapon, fingerprints, traces, and no third person has appeared at the scene, even the motive question that he questioned the most before has become so weak under the testimony provided by the neighbor that "their husband and wife have had a lot of quarrels recently".
If Gu Qingming wasn't the murderer, even Han Shuyi couldn't think of any other possibilities.
Before the case was officially put in court, Gu Qingming in the detention center was tormented, and no one knew how desperate he was at that time.
However, a greater tragedy is still waiting for him, Ye Qiaoqiao's mother, his mother-in-law had a heart attack because of this incident and died in an instant.
Overnight, the Ye family lost two lives, and the whole family was furious!
What happened next, Han Shuyi only found out later.
Ye Nianze asked someone to arrest Gu Qingming's two younger sisters and let people pass the word in: "If you don't want your family to have something to do, you can cut it yourself." "There is no death penalty on Hong Kong Island, even if you are sentenced to murder, the maximum penalty is life imprisonment, but the Ye family just wants him to die, and they want him to die in their own hands - they will see the blood of the enemy immediately, and they can't wait for a moment!
Gu Qingming was terrified, although he was Ye Nianze's brother-in-law, his background was really ordinary, the two younger sisters were in Ye Nianze's hands, he didn't dare to tell the police, let alone make a noise, so he could only ask his lawyer, hoping to see Han Shu one by one.
This friend with a special identity, at that moment, was probably Gu Qingming's only hope in a desperate situation.
But after waiting for a whole day, Han Shuyi never appeared.
The next day, he received a finger, slender and long, a girl's finger, with a scar on the abdomen of the finger, which he recognized, it was the finger of the eldest sister Lixia.
On the third day, it was another one, which was the finger of the little sister Gu Yu.
On the fourth day, he had stabbed himself into a hornet's nest with a sharpened toothbrush in custody, and there was a large pool of blood on the ground, and the correctional officers on duty were speechless with astonishment when they saw this scene.
Gu Qingming also died of blood loss, and everyone who saw his corpse was shocked!
People can't imagine that even if he doesn't want to live anymore, even if he commits suicide in fear of sin, even if he is ashamed and guilty of his cruel atrocities, but he is a big living person, he has flesh and blood and feelings, he is not a puppet, how can he use such cruel means to hurt himself?
Hearing the news, Han Shuyi sat in his office and didn't speak for a whole day.
He knew that Gu Qingming had looked for him before he died, and he had wanted to go over to see him, but when he arrived at the door of the detention center, he still chose to give up.
Gu Qingming regarded him as the last straw, but he didn't know that in another world there were also their own rules, and they had their own rules. Gu Qingming is the son-in-law of the Ye family, this is the Ye family's housework, and it is inconvenient for Han Shuyi to intervene, and he cannot intervene.
But Han Shuyi never thought that the Ye family was so anxious, the case had not yet been decided, and they had not been in court once, so they sentenced Gu Qingming to death in advance!
The moment he saw Gu Qingming's body in the mortuary, Han Shuyi couldn't forgive himself.
This is his best friend, when he is most isolated, he is his only hope, but that moment of hesitation and hesitation, he let this best friend die so desperately.
The guilt that welled up in his chest almost overwhelmed him, and he knew that he had to do something, and he had to do something, or he would not be at peace for the rest of his life.
With the help of Han Tang, this good young man, who has never participated in the affairs of the gang and has always planned to be alone, used his identity to negotiate with the Ye family for the first time, asking them to release Gu Qingming's two younger sisters, whether this tragedy is right or wrong, the dead are gone, but the living are innocent.
Ye Nianze listened quietly, only laughed but didn't speak, and only replied in a soft tone after a while: "I didn't expect such a trivial matter of the Ye family to actually alarm the two young masters of the Han family to come out in person, which is also fresh." β
Han Shuyi was about to say something, but Ye Nianze changed his words again and said with a smile: "But Young Master Shuyi is really a blessing, with his cousin to escort him, no matter how new it is, it won't be so fresh to look at." β
Han Shu could hear the meaning of Ye Nianze's words: This is our Ye family's housework, what does it have to do with your Han family? You Han Shuyi is nosy, even if you ask someone to negotiate, it's like a child fighting, and you bring your parents to Xingshi to ask about the guilt, which is quite fresh.
Han Shu held his breath in his heart, he knew that Ye Nianze obviously didn't take him seriously, this was what he expected, he didn't care. But two fingers and one human life were passed by by him with a sentence of "such a trivial matter", which made him feel a chill in his heart.
Ye Nianze ignored Han Shuyi, who had no power in his hands at that time, but he couldn't help but give face to the Han family, there were 80,000 members of the Chaozhou Gang, and the network was all over Southeast Asia, so he always had to scruple.
After several negotiations, he replied: People can be released, but after that, the Han family can no longer give any assistance to the Gu family's sisters, even if they are living on the streets and lonely, the Han family can no longer make a move, and the two Gu sisters can only fend for themselves in this life. This is the condition of the Ye family.
Han Shuyi wanted to say something, but Han Tang gave him a look and restrained him.
Han Shuyi couldn't accept such a result.
Gu Qingming is already dead, and the judgment before the trial is already wrong, so why torture innocent people again?
The Gu family's parents died early, Gu Qingming was the only source of income for the family, the two girls had no long things, their relatives and friends in the past did not dare to come forward, and the Han family could not give assistance, how could they live?
Han Tang said: "What the Ye family wants is this kind of result, Ye Qiaoqiao died tragically at the hands of Gu Qingming, how could they watch his sister live freely and casually?" Whether they become wandering warblers or die on the streets, they are happy to see it. β
Han Shuyi couldn't understand: "They used to be relatives of the Ye family, and they didn't talk about it at all?" Besides, what does the whole thing have to do with them? β
"Gu Qingming is also the son-in-law of the Ye family, they are innocent, Ye Qiaoqiao deserves to die?"
Han Shuyi was furious: "What's the point of this anger? Out of reason! β
Han Tang looked at him for a while, and said slowly: "You think it's meaningless, but the Ye family thinks it's meaningful." What is so much truth in this world? If you had, you wouldn't be sitting here. The Ye family did not rush to kill everything, and was willing to sit down and talk to you because your surname was Han, not because you were reasonable. Are you now using your identity to negotiate with others in the face of the Han family, but you are asking them to talk to you about the law and reason? You think you're in court? β
Han Shu looked at Han Tang in a daze, unable to say a word.
Han Tang looked at his cousin who looked depressed, as if looking at a lump of elm wood, and sighed: "That's right, we are not afraid of the Ye family in terms of strength, but in this matter, we have already crossed the line - meddling in other people's family affairs, this is our fault." You can save their lives, but you can't ask for more, that's the rule. Unless you can prove that Gu Qingming is not a murderer, that's another matter. β
Han Shuyi slowly leaned back in the chair, looking at his hands, only feeling helpless. He knew that Gu Qingming was his best friend, he knew that he loved his wife very much, and he knew that he had been planning his future with Ye Qiaoqiao.
But this is the only thing he can't prove.
The forensic autopsy report has come out, and it is determined that he killed him, combined with the forensic on-site investigation, if Gu Qingming is alive, he is still the biggest suspect.
But he died, and he did not confess his crime, and the case became an unsolved case.
The ironclad evidence is there, and even the police say that it can basically be confirmed that Gu Qingming is the murderer. But for Han Shuyi, this is a mystery that can never be solved.
In the end, he said exhaustedly: "A big family, bullying two weak girls with such means, what is this?" β
Han Tang said: "The most important thing in this world is the unjust ghosts, they are not the first, and they will not be the last." If you are not satisfied, go and be the one who sets the rules. For the rest, no matter how much you say, it's nonsense. β
The Buddha spent 7749 days under the Bodhi tree to enlighten the world, God created all things in heaven and earth in 7 days, and some people spent 3 days to understand the mystery of life.
Han Shuyi changed his view of the world at that moment. In other words, he had to reassess his future, whether to be an ordinary little lawyer, or to return to the family and be the one who set the rules.
Now, six years have passed.
The world is changing, the Han family is changing, the Gu sisters are changing, and he himself is also changing.
In the past six years, I have wandered on the edge of law and morality, seen too much impermanence of life and death, and occasionally hesitated and soft-hearted when making decisions. However, the selfishness and greed of human nature have repeatedly reminded him of how obscure and gloomy the reality around him is.
It is said that frustration can stimulate potential energy, but these negative emotions are always so disheartening and disappointing, and the blood that was once enthusiastic is slowly becoming cold in the grinding of reality, and the hot-blooded young man with justice in his heart is long gone.
Perhaps, everyone has their own fate, for himself, for Gu Qingming, Yu Ye Qiaoqiao and the Gu family sisters. Who is more innocent than anyone else in this world?
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling long window of the high-rise, looking at the crowd of people downstairs, Han Shu thought that in six years, too many people can be changed, and there are too many things that cannot be undone.
Putting aside those tragedies and the past, when things come to this day, I am afraid that what should have happened has already happened, and those who should have fallen have also fallen.
Now, fate has turned back, allowing him to meet the people of the Gu family again, what else can he do in the face of the people and things of the past?
