Chapter 16: The Truth
The relationship between Lu Tao and Zhang Yichi can be traced back to the beginning of this year, and judging from the earliest content, it should be Lu Tao who took the initiative to get acquainted with Zhang Yichi. Subsequently, they quickly struck a deal. During the exam, as long as Lu Tao copied the answers for Zhang Yichi, usually helped with homework, etc., Zhang Yichi would borrow money from Lu Tao.
Thinking about it, it is actually understandable, Lu Tao's father died early, his mother was seriously ill, and he was just a high school student, so how much time can he spare to work and make money when preparing for the college entrance examination.
Flipped through several pages of chat history, half of which were chats that didn't have much value, and half were transfers.
But it didn't take long for Zhang Yichi's expression to become serious.
Things have changed dramatically.
Lu Tao sent Zhang Yichi some pictures in April, these pictures are all videos he took when Zhang Yichi went out to dinner with a few friends, and the angle should be taken candidly!
This video is still saved, and Zhang Yichi clicked on it.
In the video, Zhang Yichi seems to have drunk some wine, his face is red, and he is talking enthusiastically with his friends.
……
"The one named Wang Siqian in the class next door to us is so good-looking. I wanted to have a relationship with her a while ago, but she didn't agree, so I just forced her that night! , haha...... That's cool! Later, she said she was going to call the police, and I smashed her head a few times with a glass in a hurry! I didn't expect to be stoned to death! But it's okay, hahahaha, my dad spent 800,000 to get it! ”
"Keep your voice down! Are you afraid that you won't be heard? A friend motioned for him to keep his voice down.
Some people were not afraid of big things when they saw the excitement, and asked, "How did you get it?" ”
"Hey, it almost scared me to death at first, I thought my life was over." Zhang Yichi's voice was a little quieter, and his face was full of pride, "I'll hide her body and call my dad." My dad rushed back overnight to help me deal with it, and then went to find Wang Siqian and her dad. Her dad was an alcoholic, and when he first heard that he was going to kill me, his face changed as soon as my dad gave him the money, and finally after a good bargain, her dad agreed to hide it. The next day, her father went to go through the withdrawal procedures for her, haha, this matter is settled. So, these days, being rich is king......"
"Your dad didn't deal with you? Make such a big deal? ”
"Is that possible? I'm too busy to teach me a lesson. When it was all settled, they beat me up all night and almost beat me to death! I also cut half of my pocket money and hired a nanny to watch me go to and from school every day. Later, I discussed with the nanny in private, what should you do every day, pay the same salary every month, and she left, I am still free, haha......"
……
The video continued, but Zhang Yichi couldn't hear any sound anymore. The camera of the video is shaking, and that's because Lu Tao is trembling.
The mind is in a mess, and the video is over. Zhang Yichi didn't have the courage to open it for the second time, the ugly soul made him nauseous, and made him feel frightened, which was ten thousand times more terrifying than facing Lu Tao's corpse.
After that, Lu Tao used this to blackmail Zhang Yichi, and made tens of thousands of profits through this means, all of which were used for his mother's treatment.
Combine this with the previous two memories, and the whole experience is obvious. After Lu Tao learned that his mother was sick, he began to find ways to raise money for his mother's treatment. Later, when he was desperate, he thought of Zhang Yichi, who was the most generous in the class, and Lu Tao, who once disdained to be with him, began to help him with his homework and throw him a cheat sheet, just to use all means to make Zhang Yichi happy to get money, money to save his mother's life.
Later, after learning that Zhang Yichi had raped and killed a classmate in the next class, Lu Tao did not make the secret public, but regarded it as the last straw, blackmailing Zhang Yichi to obtain a lot of money. The mother's illness is getting worse and she needs more and more money. Lu Tao and Zhang Yichi finally broke out into conflict, forcing the crazy and hysterical Lu Tao to slash at Zhang Yichi with a knife, but was finally killed by him.
The truth has come out.
One is a heinous bastard, the other is a poor man driven to self-destruction by poverty.
Zhang Yichi exhaled heavily and exited the chat history page between the two. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and instead of rushing to quit, he aimlessly paddled his chat friends. In the end, Zhang Yichi's body kept moving, and his hand stopped.
He saw a person named Si Qian.
Zhang Yichi frowned and nodded.
17.1.27
Lu Tao: Siqian, I wish you a happy Chinese New Year's Eve.
Siqian: You too! I hope you and Auntie are doing well!
Lu Tao: Thank you, my mother's illness will definitely be fine.
……
17.2.3
Lu Tao: Siqian, did your father beat you again?
Lu Tao: This bastard, I'm going to beat you every time I finish drinking! I'll have to settle accounts with him this time! If it doesn't work, we'll call the police!
Siqian: It's okay Xiaotao, I don't want others to know about these things, we will have to take the college entrance examination in a few months, we must study hard, get admitted together, take the test far away, and start a new life ^-^.
Lu Tao: ...... Well! We must work hard! If your dad still beats you, you can call me!
Siqian: Don't worry, I'm fine. You have to do it! Auntie will definitely get better soon! When I was a child, I loved to eat my aunt's kung pao chicken!
Lu Tao: I'll eat it again in the future.
……
17.2.24
Lu Tao: Siqian, I went to look for you today, why aren't you at home?
Siqian: My dad drank again last night, I didn't dare to go back, and stayed at the same school!
Lu Tao: ...... I really hope that I will usher in college life sooner and take you out of this ghost place.
Siqian: Well, it's okay, it's only a few months! Don't slack off in the last few months, and don't stay up too late for your aunt.
Lu Tao: I will.
Siqian: How is Auntie's condition?
Lu Tao: It's not good......
Siqian: Don't worry, I made a wish on my birthday, Auntie will definitely get better early, you can't be too tired!
Lu Tao: Thank you, Siqian.
……
17.3.17
Lu Tao: I haven't seen you for a few days, I went to your house to look for you, and your father said that you were not there, and I heard your classmates say that you dropped out of school, what is going on?
17.3.18
Lu Tao: What happened? Hurry up and reply to my message, Siqian!
17.3.19
Lu Tao: Did your dad not let you go to school? Where the hell are you now?
……
The more he looked back, the more Zhang Yichi's hand trembled. After learning that Lu Tao used the classmates in the next class to be raped and killed by Zhang Yichi's predecessor to blackmail money, there were two things in his heart, one was the sin of his predecessor, and the other was Lu Tao's ruined life.
But now, he gasped sharply, and found that he had far underestimated the story behind this incident, and far underestimated how much pressure Lu Tao was carrying.
The person who was used by him as a bargaining chip and Zhang Yichi's predecessor to extort money was not an unknown passerby, but his childhood sweetheart, one of his favorite people.
When he learned of Wang Siqian's death, and it was from the braggadocio tone of Zhang Yichi's predecessor, how angry and crazy did he have to be, and how much he wanted to kill Zhang Yichi's predecessor? No matter how bad it is, you have to call the police to arrest Zhang Yichi!
But the reality of his mother lying in the hospital waiting for money to save his life made a seventeen-year-old boy with strong blood and strength so cold that he became a sane person. He buried his hatred deep in his heart, suffered great pain in his heart, and exchanged the people he loved most for money. This kind of coercion is also desecrating his love to the greatest extent. Every penny he extorted, he could feel the blasphemy and the betrayal, but he had a reason to do it that he couldn't refuse.
The two people he loved the most, God told him that he could only choose one. Choose your mother to live, or choose to bring Wang Siqian's murderer to justice?
If he doesn't choose either one, he'll be in a lot of pain.
Lu Tao's final outburst and final loss of control became no longer incomprehensible. On the contrary, Zhang Yichi was deeply puzzled, how did a seventeen-year-old boy carry these things to the present?
In the same classroom, living with a group of people who just need to study with peace of mind and don't have to worry about anything else, how did Lu Tao manage to persevere?
Zhang Yichi was hit in the heart by something unspeakable in it, almost suffocating. Then, recalling his past, his thoughts were full of thoughts and tears.
……
Then, that night, he made a big decision. He's going to do something he's never done before, and it's a matter of time and a lot of risk.
