*This chapter is also known as "Trapped on the Other Side of Freedom"

"The two of us, aren't we already ...... Not together? Xiao Yao said tentatively.

"How did you come up with such an idea?" Shen Jie's face was a little red, of course, not shy, but because of annoyance.

A little bit of annoyance? Xiao Yao thought.

He didn't speak, just looked at Shen Jie meaningfully, just like that.

The young man wanted to tell Shen Jie that he accidentally peeked at his daughter's photo album, as well as the composition paper sandwiched in it, and all kinds of clues that he had gotten along with in the past few months, as well as ......

In the end, he chose silent deterrence and said nothing.

The long-term absence of oneself in the future no longer needs further proof, since it is not a death, then, why......

Xiao Yao was determined that today he had to get a reasonable explanation.

"Do you think that you are in a rich family, so I won't have much affection for you, and this marriage is just to take what you need and have different dreams in the same bed?" Shen Jie said quietly.

Xiao Yao shook his head slightly.

Indeed, a little earlier, he had such worries, and even, when he first saw Shen Jie's condescending and aggressive appearance, he was even more convinced of this conjecture.

However, all this disappeared with Shen Jie's pounce just now.

"So, do you think you've changed your mind?" Shen Jie seemed to be able to see through Xiao Yao's thoughts.

Xiao Yao still shook his head and denied this conjecture: "It's not right, according to common sense, if I am really the kind of negative person who abandons my wife and daughter in the future, she shouldn't be so good to me in Changsheng, and after you see me, even if you still pounce, you will probably hit me in the mouth." ”

"My husband has really been so smart since he was a child." Shen Jie praised him with a sincere expression, but she held back a laugh.

"There is another possibility," Shoreholmes continued, "that I am a good father and husband, but you have made some mistake of principle that is sorry for me, so I chose to leave." So you and Changsheng may still have feelings for me, and you have no position to blame me......? ”

Shen Jie was a little stunned, and after a few seconds, she began to laugh with her stomach hammering the table.

"You...... You...... Imagine yourself a green hat...... This...... Is it so fun? ”

"Well, okay, right?" Xiao Yao said a little embarrassed: "But your hilarious problem hasn't changed for 30 years." ”

"I didn't ...... I didn't ......" Shen Jie said: "It's really been a long time...... I've had so much fun. ”

Xiao Yao waited helplessly for her to laugh enough, and there was a little doting in her squinted eyes.

Considering the huge inverse age difference between the two people, this picture really looks a little weird.

When the laughter finally stopped, Xiao Yao reached out and pressed the back of Shen Jie's hand: "Move." ”

Shen Jie raised her head and looked at the young man's pure eyes: "You have to know?" ”

"I have to know today." Xiao Yao nodded, conveying his determination in words.

Shen Jie lowered her head and thought for a while, as if she was brewing something.

"My husband, Tianyun's father, the son-in-law of the Shen family, Xiao Yao, you, are still in prison." The woman's eyes were glued to the table.

Xiao Yao was stunned.

The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive and serious.

…… But when you think about it, this answer is so fucking reasonable.

And I guessed a lot before, but I never thought of this possibility, I really entered a blind spot in my thinking.

"What crime have I committed?" After a silence that was neither long nor short, Xiao Yao finally remembered what he should ask.

"Xiao Yao is not wrong, Xiao Yao is not guilty!" Shen Jie suddenly became excited again: "Xiao Yao's biggest crime in this life is to join the Shen family for me......"

Xiao Yao was originally quite depressed, but seeing her like this, he was busy and comforted.

After Shen Jie calmed down, she whispered, "You are the one who took the blame for my father." ”

"Wh-" Xiao Yao's mouth opened wide: "That damn guy! Me, for him? ”

"I," Shen Jie was a little sad: "I persuaded you for a long time, but you insisted on doing this, leaving us two mothers and sons behind-you are right, when we meet, I should have dumped you two mouths first." ”

"No, wait a minute," Xiao Yao struggled to sort out his thoughts: "That guy - your father, what did he do?" ”

"Do you believe that the people who do business to that level have completely clean hands?" Shen Jie chuckled with some disdain: "It's just to see when the opponent grabs the handle......"

“…… There is some truth to this. Xiao Yao said, "But why the fuck would I do such a thing?" ”

"Because at that time, the Miwei Group couldn't live without his father," Shen Jie said sadly: "I don't have that ability, you don't have that prestige, and Daoming's dumb son can't be counted on, and no one in my Shen family has enough ability to pick up this burden - if Dad falls, the group will fall to the ...... of the board of directors."

"Which one is Daoming?" Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie.

"My brother, your brother-in-law." Shen Jie replied strangely: "Ah, I forgot, he wasn't born in 04, no wonder you don't know - he seems to be in 05, yes, 05." ”

"You're an 87-year-old guy with a 05-year-old brother?" Xiao Yao cautiously confirmed.

Shen Jie shrugged her shoulders: "This is not something I can choose, right?" ”

It seems that she really doesn't like this brother very much.

Xiao Yao wanted to say something like "the four evils of the water area" to liven up the atmosphere, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say it: "So, how long is my sentence?" ”

"It's hard to say, the result of the plea bargain at that time was that you pleaded guilty and exchanged it for forty years in prison." Shen Jie told Xiao Yao: "Now I can only operate things like commutation, bail, and medical parole." ”

"The co-author is not in Huaxia?" Xiao Yao was stunned: "I remember that our country has been going on for twenty years at most, and there will be no time to come back." ”

"Well, in Mississippi, you may have to be deported if you get out of prison, and you may have to crat again when you come back......"

Xiao Yao's eyes darkened, and he lost hope for his future life.

"Don't be nervous, we've been trying to figure out how to operate," Shen Jie told Xiao Yao, "Where do you think I've been in the past few months?" I've been staying in Midi, in addition to doing business with the people of Mi, I can also take time to visit you, and I also have to run your medical parole......"

"How many people did your dad kill......

"Anyway, our whole family hasn't given up on you, you know?" Shen Jie didn't answer Xiao Yao's muttering directly, but just pinched the back of his hand: "Our whole family is waiting for you to come back." ”

"Is it too late for me to break up with the 17-year-old one now?" Xiao Yao half-jokingly.

Shen Jie didn't speak, just shook Xiao Yao's hand.

Seeing that Xiao Yao still looked sullen, he said, "It should be in time!" ”

"Alas," Xiao Yao sighed, "is this my life?" ”

"Okay, don't be depressed," Shen Jie said: "Now I know why Yunyun and I don't want to tell you, do you have to know, what can you do if you know?" Plain increases annoyance. ”

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Actually, it's better than I expected, I really thought I was dead, and even more seriously, I was separated from your relationship breakdown." ”

"Huh?" Shen Jie said: "Is it worse than dying to be separated from me?" ”

"Hmm." The young man hesitated for a moment and replied in the affirmative: "For me, it is so. ”

Shen Jie was a little moved.

It's been a long time since she's heard such a sincere confession from anyone's mouth.

Even if someone would say such a thing to her, she would just laugh it off, and would not pay attention to it at all.

However, with her experience in the workplace for so many years, Shen Jie can feel that the young man is serious.

"I ......," Shen Jie said, "thank you." ”

"You're welcome."

"Now that we have the ability to travel through time, maybe we can change that?" Shen Jie asked tentatively.

"I don't know, I don't know." Xiao Yao said it twice.

……

There was another silence that didn't last long, and then the two of them rushed to speak at the same time.

Shen Jie immediately closed her mouth and motioned for Xiao Yao to speak first.

"No, I just wanted to change the subject." Xiao Yao said.

"You can ask whatever you want." Shen Jie replied softly.

"As far as I know," Xiao Yao said as he recalled, "Shen Jie and you have spoken on the phone several times, and the things that Tianyun and I have encountered, and the things of the time and space passage have always communicated and reported to you, including——"

"I know what you want to ask," Shen Jie told Xiao Yao, "Actually, before I came back to see you and saw Tianyun call you dad one by one, I always regarded this whole thing as a ...... Well, maybe it's not accurate to say that it's a prank, well, a game to play with your daughter, so to speak? ”

"Swimming...... Game...... Is it? Xiao Yao moved his nose in confusion.

"Think about it, if you are busy in the United States, and suddenly your daughter calls you from thousands of miles away, saying that the mirror at home has become a time and space channel, what will be your first reaction?" Shen Jie prompted.

"I ...... I understand. Xiao Yao said: "If it were my parents, I would definitely not believe this kind of thing - I can't even think of such a simple thing, adults are the same." I always thought you would believe it, even Shen Jie was ......"

"I've never spoken to you, but the things that Shen Jie talked to me about on the phone are all information that may be obtained from Tianyun or from other channels," Shen Jie explained: "It's the same way around, Tianyun and what I said, about you, I think they can also be checked......

"In that case," Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie, "why didn't you scold her to stop her delusions, or stop playing pranks on you?" ”
