Chapter 51: Guilt
"Dad, when are we going home?"
In the room of the hotel, Ran Ran was lying on the bed and asked Li Ming with a worried face.
Li Ming looked at her dotingly, stroked her head with his palm, and said:
"Go to sleep, when you wake up, we can go home."
Ran Ran was just a child, and she didn't know what was going on at all, so after hearing Li Ming's words, she directly closed her eyes and fell asleep, and after a while, she started talking in her dreams.
After seeing Ran Ran asleep, the smile on Zhang Wanhui's face disappeared instantly, and she came to Li Ming's side with a worried face, and asked softly, "What should we do next?" ”
"I'm still trying to figure out a way, don't worry, I won't let you suffer peacefully." Li Ming responded softly, and he hadn't made a decision until now.
He originally planned to take his wife and daughter abroad, although he would be far away from home, but as long as the family was together, he didn't feel anything bad.
But Goldman Sachs' words made him hesitate, after all, even if they went abroad, their family still had to live in hiding in Tibet, and Ran Ran and Zhang Wanhui might not be able to adapt to life abroad, even if he earned money abroad, it might not make them happy.
If he can't let his wife and daughter live a happy life, won't he have the same regrets as his previous life in the future?
But if he doesn't escape, he may be imprisoned for a few years, and Ran Ran and Zhang Wanhui will definitely be looked down upon in the past few years, and they still can't live a good life, which will also go against his original intention.
The current situation is like a game of chess that must die, unless there is a new change, no matter what choice Li Ming makes, he will still end up losing the whole game......
Seeing Li Ming's frowning appearance, Zhang Wanhui was very distressed, she knew that Li Ming was impulsive because she saw herself and Ran Ran being injured, so even if Li Ming fled with her and Ran Ran afterwards, she was not the slightest dissatisfied with Li Ming in her heart.
She stretched out her hand to hug Li Ming, hoping to use her body temperature to reassure Li Ming, and said calmly:
"You take me and run away."
"As long as we're together as a family, we can go anywhere."
Hearing Zhang Wanhui's words, Li Ming, who couldn't make a decision for a long time, showed a look of surprise.
He didn't expect that Zhang Wanhui, who had always been timid, would encourage him to abscond in fear of crime, which made his heart warm.
However, the more Zhang Wanhui was like this, the more Li Ming didn't want her to be able to raise her head in the future, so she finally made that difficult choice in her heart.
He looked at Zhang Wanhui affectionately, and said softly: "If I escape, you and Ran Ran will not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives, although you and Ran Ran will have a more difficult life after I go in, but don't worry, I will let Li Qiang and Goldman Sachs take care of you more." ”
In the previous life, he abandoned his wife and daughter for the sake of his future, and in this life, Li Ming said that he could not do the same thing again.
So he finally decided to confess......
"Have you made up your mind?" Zhang Wanhui asked seriously.
Li Ming nodded, his eyes were extremely firm, and he was ready to be imprisoned in his heart.
Seeing this, Zhang Wanhui hugged Li Ming tighter, stood on tiptoe and leaned into Li Ming's ear and said:
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
"We'll wait for you to come back together!"
Reluctance permeated the whole room, Zhang Wanhui hugged Li Ming tighter and tighter, both of them could smell each other's smell, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became ambiguous, and after a while, an inexplicable "pop" sound sounded.
Early the next morning.
The sun had just risen, and the sound of roosters crowing echoed throughout the town.
Li Ming looked at Zhang Wanhui, who was already tired and asleep beside him, and got up and left directly.
Parting is always full of sentimentality, Li Ming was afraid that he would shake his determination because of his reluctant wife and daughter, so he didn't wake up Zhang Wanhui and Ranran, and left the hotel alone.
Walking on the street, the autumn wind blew Li Ming goosebumps.
Although he had made up his mind to confess his guilt, Li Ming did not go to the public security bureau immediately, but walked into a breakfast shop.
"Boss, come two baskets of xiaolongbao, then two fried sticks and two bowls of soy milk, pack them and send them to Jianghe Hotel 303."
"The fritters and soy milk must be fresh, and the xiaolongbao needs two dipping sauces."
Li Ming carefully instructed the boss, worried that the boss had sent the wrong thing, after all, this was probably the only thing he could do for his wife and daughter in the next few years.
After ordering breakfast for Zhang Wanhui and Ranran, Li Ming also dealt with it in the store, and then went directly to the Public Security Bureau.
Coming to the outside of the Public Security Bureau, Li Ming involuntarily stopped, even if he was the richest man in the world, his heart was still full of apprehension at this time.
He took a few deep breaths, then looked back in the direction of the hotel, and after saying goodbye to his wife and daughter in his heart, he walked directly to the security bureau, but as soon as he walked in, Goldman Sachs suddenly pulled him into the office!
"Why are you here?"
Goldman Sachs looked at Li Ming with a strange expression.
His words made Li Ming feel very strange, and Li Ming asked with a strange face:
"Didn't you ask me to turn myself in?"
Hearing Li Ming's words, Goldman Sachs immediately understood what was happening, and the expression on his face gradually became complicated.
After he was silent for a while, he said to Li Ming with an embarrassed face: "You don't have to turn yourself in, yesterday's case has been closed." ”
Closed?
Li Ming's face was full of doubt, and he looked at Goldman Sachs in shock.
The murderer himself is still here, why is the case closed?
"What the hell is going on? How could you possibly close the case? ”
Li Ming asked curiously, staring at Goldman Sachs with a pair of eyes, eager to know the truth.
In the face of Li Ming's inquiry, Goldman Sachs's eyes became a little complicated, he lit a cigarette and smoked it, until he finished the cigarette in his hand, and then told the matter one by one.
"After you hung up the phone last night, Li Qiang suddenly came to the Public Security Bureau to turn himself in, saying that he killed Li Jiagui."
"In order not to cause panic in this matter, the case was closed after repeatedly confirming the incident with Li Qiang."
Hearing Goldman Sachs' words, Li Ming immediately frowned, and his mind was full of Li Qiang's figure.
He knew that Li Qiang had always treated him as his own brother, but he never imagined that Li Qiang would actually help him take the blame!
Even if it's only manslaughter, you'll be locked up for years!
Li Ming was so moved that he couldn't speak, and he didn't even know how to face Li Qiang now, he asked in a choked voice: "Can I meet Li Qiang?" ”
"He's going to be sent to prison soon, I'll let you see you for ten minutes at most." Goldman Sachs nodded, and then took Li Ming to another room.
In the room, Li Qiang had a bandage around his neck, his injured arm was on the table, and he sat here alone in a daze.
Looking at this brother who helped him take the blame, Li Ming's throat felt like swallowing a fireball, which burned him speechless.
Li Qiang also looked at Li Ming and Goldman Sachs who walked in at this time, a smile appeared on his face, and he shouted at Li Ming with a happy face:
"Third brother, why are you here?"
