Being-Towards-Death

After school in the evening, Chi Xiaoyu and Song Jianghan were playing glass balls at the door of the building. They almost lay on the ground, their clothes and faces were covered with ashes.Song Jianghan bounced Chi Xiaoyu's last ball into the dead hole, and immediately cheered: "Yeah! I won!"

Chi Xiaoyu said angrily, "I don't even have a glass ball."

Song Jianghan said: "You ask your dad to buy it for you."

"I don't want to play with you anymore, hum!"

After speaking, he ran into the building door, Song Jianghan chased after her, took out his pocket full of glass balls and said, "Don't stop playing, can I lend you ten?"

The child's voice came into the house, Xu Ping opened the door and said, "What time is it, come back for dinner! Have you two done your homework?"

Chi Xiaoyu took off her shoes and ran into the living room. Song Weibin patted her on the head, gave her half an orange, and said, "Your dad will come over later, miss him?"

"Yeah!" Chi Xiaoyu said happily, "Father is taking me to see Uncle Shi! I miss Uncle Shi so much too."

Song Weibin's face darkened, and it was not easy for the children to see the clue, so he forced a smile and said: "You like your Uncle Shi so much, why?"

Chi Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "I don't know." After thinking about it for a while, her small mouth sweetly turned around and complained, "I like Uncle Shi, Dad, Uncle Song, Aunt Xu Ping, Brother Xiaohan, But today I don’t like Brother Xiaohan anymore, he won all my glass balls away..."

Song Weibin lived up to Yu's expectations, and said with a straight face, "Xiaohan, why are you bullying my sister again!"

"Whoever bullies her, I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. I also said to lend her ten glass balls, but she didn't want it."

Chi Xiaoyu struck while the iron was hot: "I don't want yours, I want mine."

The two children chattered and twittered, bringing a bit of life to the dull room.Song Weibin and Xu Ping had nothing to say for a while, Xu Ping pinned her hopes on Shi Guyuan, hoping that he would give her a job, but due to the attitudes of Song Weibin and Zheng Zhichu, the chances were slim.Poor and lowly couples are sad about everything. When a couple doesn't even bother to quarrel, their married life is about to turn red.

Ten minutes later, Chi Yu came back exhausted.Chi Xiaoyu tossed the glass ball out of the sky, screamed and threw herself into her father's arms.After dinner—the adults were not in the mood to eat dinner—the children were driven to the bedroom to do their homework, Xu Ping went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and left the living room to Chi Yu and Song Weibin.

Chi Yu was still sitting on the dining chair, without moving his place. He lowered his head dejectedly, and asked straightforwardly, "Brother Bin, has the matter of Gu Yuan not changed at all?"

Shi Guyuan walked out of the operating room that day and was still awake. Chi Yu asked the doctor a lot about Shi Guyuan's injuries; those dense and unhealed incisions were shocking even though he had worked in the emergency room for many days .He trembled and couldn't speak a complete long sentence. It wasn't until Zheng Zhichu signed and punched him a few times as he said, and fully vented his anger with words, that he realized how much effort Shi Guyuan had put in to protect him and Xiao. Yu.

But Shi Guyuan was after all his own strength, a mortal body, those wounds fell on Shi Guyuan's body, but they were projected into Chi Yu's heart twice as much.

Shi Guyuan tried so hard—so hard—to keep him, but he chose to turn around and leave; if he had a little more courage, as much as Xiaoyu, some damage could be avoided.

One night when Xiaoyu expressed his miss for Uncle Shi, he asked her, "Uncle Shi did something bad, do you still miss him?"

Chi Xiaoyu said firmly, "He's not a bad guy."

"If so?"

"I still miss him."

"What if... what if he's dangerous and hurts you?"

"Is Uncle Shi in danger?" Chi Xiaoyu sat up and said nervously, "What's wrong with him? Are we going to save him?"

"We can go and save him, but then you may get hurt, like if you fall down, it will hurt..."

"Then we're going too, Dad!" Chi Xiaoyu said earnestly and anxiously, "I like him, I love him, don't you too?"

Yes, he is too; so even if Shi Guyuan shut him out, even if his strength is weak, he can no longer let go.

Song Weibin nestled on the sofa and smoked one cigarette after another, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he sighed, "I'll let him surrender himself, he's fine, hmph..."

"How far have you investigated? Can you tell me?"

Song Weibin said: "There are physical witnesses and evidence, and smuggling cannot be denied; Xu Liwei's case has caused a great sensation in Taoxian, how many pairs of eyes are watching from top to bottom; the owner of Naner Hotel is missing, who can believe it?" Has nothing to do with him? He still runs a casino, and the person in charge of the casino, Qian Youdao, was almost assassinated in the detention center a few days ago... I asked him to surrender as soon as possible, the sooner the better for him, he—hey!"

"How can we not let him die? As long as he is alive...alive..."

Song Weibin said regretfully and sadly: "If Xiaoyan is still here, maybe..."

Chi Yu raised his head suddenly: "What's wrong with Xiaofeng?"

"You don't know?" Song Weibin said in surprise, "Xiao Yan is gone, and the funeral just went out a while ago. You and Brother Shi have a good relationship, and he didn't tell you? No wonder I didn't see you that day."

"No one told me—how could Xiaoyan—how suddenly—"

"Poor girl, she was kidnapped by Zhao Tieqiang, eh, she was with your daughter—" Song Weibin suddenly fell silent, worried about causing Chi Yu's discomfort, so he vaguely said, "Xiaojie was injected with an overdose of drugs, we I heard from my colleagues that when they arrived, the scene was really horrible. Brother Shi was covered in blood and rubbed Xiao Fen's head and face. At that time, they thought it was Xiao Fen's trauma, but later they found out that it was Brother Shi's blood. , the stomach was stabbed by Zhao Tieqiang, a total of 23 knives, the intestines are about to flow out..."

Chi Yu inserted his hand into his hair, and listened to Song Weibin continue to say: "...Who would have imagined it? Brother Shi survived, but Xiao Fen was gone. Later, Zhao Tieqiang was quickly arrested and brought to justice, which can be regarded as an explanation for Xiao Fen It's gone." As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of Chi Yu's painful expression, and comforted him, "Brother Shi didn't tell you, it was for your own good, I'm afraid you will blame yourself, today I said it out loud, don't forget to take it to heart .”

After a pause, Song Weibin said again: "Brother Shi's life is not easy. So I was vacating the gate to look at the gate, and there were rumors that Brother Shi was a rabbit raised by our Chairman Zheng; if I say it is jealousy, what about Brother Shi?" The appearance is nothing to say, he is still a high-achieving student and earns a lot of money, how young and promising! As a result, he has not found a partner in these years, probably because of these rumors, so I really feel sorry for him. But what can I do? It's the police, I can't take the lead in breaking the law..."

The two were relatively silent for a long time, and Chi Yu said: "I'll try to persuade him again, as long as he can live, I..."

Perhaps it was the tense air, but the carefree Song Weibin could hear something unusual from this sentence: "You—?"

Chi Yu avoided his eyes, his internal organs seemed to be churning and twisting like a stormy sea—he knew very well that he would never see Shi Guyuan again.

..........................................................

In the middle of the night, the general manager's office in Tengkong Building was brightly lit; Liu Mian sighed deeply as he looked at the newly arrived fax.

Xiao Zhao stood in front of the desk and asked, "Mr. Liu, did the detention center fail?"

Liu Mian threw the fax on the table and said, "Qian Youdao should not be killed... This is his medical record. The city bureau already knew that Teng Kong was going to get rid of him, and he would definitely arrange strict defense. Now, no matter the money If there is a way to move or not, it is hard to guarantee the sky."

Xiao Zhao said nervously: "Mr. Liu, we still have a chance. The Municipal Bureau has no evidence to prove that Teng Kong did it; even if there is, it doesn't prove that we did it; besides, there is also Mr. Shi, who is more conspicuous than us. "

"Can't you see?" Liu Mian said, "Shi Guyuan is about to withdraw, Zheng Zhichu is not like you and me, he is protected by his family, who dares to touch him? I'm afraid..."

Liu Mian's voice quieted down, and his eyes fell on the photo frame standing in the corner of the desk. Inside was a group photo of his family of three in the ward.His son has oxygen in his nostrils, but he smiles cutely and innocently in front of the camera.And the person who pressed the shutter behind him was one of the topics they discussed just now.

Liu Mian picked up the photo frame, caressed the faces of his wife and son affectionately, and continued, "Xiao Zhao, I have something to tell you, you must do it well."

"You say."

"Tomorrow, I will surrender to the city bureau—"

"Boss Liu!"

"Don't interrupt," Liu Mian raised his hand to stop him, and said, "I'll let the matter stop at me. When you go to the hospital tomorrow, you must see Mr. Shi and explain this to him; then, let He sent my wife and children to Baiyun City, you must go with your sister-in-law and help me take care of them on the way, understand?"

Xiao Zhao said: "Mr. Liu, do you think the matter is too serious, or, why don't you take your sister-in-law and go, the city bureau is watching the big head, now is the best time to escape!"

Liu Mian smiled wryly and said, "What are you thinking? If Shi Guyuan is the one holding the gun, then I will be the gun... Guns are banned in our country, do you understand? Besides, Xuanxuan's body cannot be separated from treatment. No matter what How to put it, Mr. Shi is okay, if I die for him, at least Xuanxuan and his mother will be guaranteed for the rest of their lives...Look at Fatty Zhang, right?"

"Mr. Liu, we haven't reached the end of the mountain yet. There must be other ways..."

"If we're at the end of the mountain, I won't be able to make any demands." Liu Mian's eyes were sharp, "Xiao Zhao, listen to me, you have to go, go with your sister-in-law, don't play tricks, life is the most important thing, do you hear me? "

Xiao Zhao had no choice but to respond, he didn't know how to fight at the top, and he was full of contradictions in his heart: Compared with Shi Guyuan who was far away in the sky, Liu Mian was more kind and down-to-earth to him; , Liu Mian is as innocent as a rabbit, those bad things were all done by Shi Guyuan - it's people who are wrong, what's wrong with guns?

The next day, Xiao Zhao and Liu Mianbing split into two groups, one came to the hospital and the other surrendered to the city bureau.

Shi Guyuan did not make any comments on what Liu Mian did, which made Xiao Zhao feel dissatisfied.Shi Guyuan called Zheng Zhichu to discuss it together, and said, "Xiao Chu, you and Xiao Zhao go for a trip together, and Xuanxuan's hospital transfer procedures will be completed as soon as possible in the next two days."

Zheng Zhichu reluctantly nibbled on the apple, pointed at Xiao Zhao, and said, "Didn't Liu Mian ask him to give it to me? I'm going to join in the fun."

Shi Guyuan glanced at him, but said nothing; he sent Xiao Zhao away in a few words, and finally only Zheng Zhichu and him were left, and said, "You are quite hostile to Liu Mian."

Zheng Zhichu rolled his eyes: "You're not used to it."

"Yes, I got used to it for you." Shi Guyuan joked, "However, Teng Kong was left to you by your father, so you can't be willful."

Zheng Zhichu said vigilantly, "What do you mean by that?"

Shi Guyuan said calmly: "Xiao Chu, remember that when a company grows bigger, it belongs to the country." He calmly met Zheng Zhichu's eyes widened by shock, "But you are different. Your background is Your greatest reliance, don't waste it."

"Shi Guyuan, tell me clearly, do you fucking know what you're talking about!"

Zheng Zhichu's heart was pounding, he knew that Shi Guyuan was smart and could always see everything, but when Shi Guyuan really gave in to himself, he found that he was not only unhappy, but also full of panic and uncertainty - just like... ...It's like a transfer of power in ancient times, behind which is the mourning of the whole country.

Shi Guyuan said: "What I mean is, after you come back from Baiyun, go back to the capital first, and persuade Yipeng to use the name of Tengkong to join hands with the Taoxian City Government to inject capital into Jinbihuihuang. The shares of Tengkong can be less than the government, but it must higher than Hengyu."

Zheng Zhichu frowned deeply, and said puzzledly: "Why do you want to confront Tang Jun? He bet all his belongings for the sake of brilliance. If you do this, Hengyu will be a yellow shop! What do you think? "

Shi Guyuan said, "You can do whatever I tell you to do."

Zheng Zhichu thought about it for a while, and suddenly looked at Shi Guyuan in disbelief: "You—are you crazy?! Isn't Hengyu your lifeblood? You—are you willing?!"

Sacrifice a Hengyu, but at the same time, it also restrained the government's encroachment on Tengkong's progress, retained Tengkong's certain autonomy, and left opportunities for Tengkong's turnaround after Tengkong; coupled with Zheng Zhichu's central background, Tengkong will definitely be able to enjoy preferential policies first, By then revival will not be empty talk.

Shi Guyuan said firmly and gently: "The burden is heavy, but I believe in you, this is your father—"

"My dad, my dad! You know my dad!" Zheng Zhichu burst out abruptly, "What about me? Have you ever thought about whether I'm happy or not?!"

Shi Guyuan was a little surprised: "Didn't you always—"

"That's because of you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have even looked at it if it was vacated or the president! It's all you! You!!"

Shi Guyuan pursed his lips and said for a while, "I'm sorry..."

"Why did you say sorry to me?"

"Sorry……"

Zheng Zhichu was furious: "Shut up! You have not wronged anyone! You are not wrong! You have never been wrong!" He growled. "Listen Shi Guyuan, I saw my dad fuck you, it's not your fault; so many people died, it's not your fault, and it's not your fault that I fell in love with you! Fuck your mother Shi Guyuan Yuan, fuck your mother, you are an idiot!"

No one is wrong.What is wrong is that we were born at this time, what is wrong is that we are born human and cannot see life in the way of animals.

Zheng Zhichu dropped the thermos and smashed the cup; after venting, he stood in the mess, panting unsteadily; like an auditory hallucination, he heard Shi Guyuan say, "Xiao Chu, let's go home."
