I am a super cop

Chapter 2156 The Ruins of Hejiaba Primary School 【Two Chapters in One】

In the police car, listening to He Lijie's complaints, Gu Chen understood that ordinary people might not be able to empathize with the mental torture that fell from the peak to the trough.

You know, He Lijie was also a working capital with two small goals.

But in just a few years, all kinds of blind expansion led to investment failure.

Coupled with operational errors, the capital chain continued to collapse, and now owes eight-figure debts. It can be said that the chances of such a comeback are almost slim.

Lu Weiwei also felt the same way: "In your situation, there are quite a lot of them in the whole country."

"In business, there are profits and losses. You have said it all. In the past 40 years, you have been living smoothly and making money in everything you do. That is your luck."

"Luck is not on your side now, no matter how much you toss it, it's useless, and you don't need to be overly depressed, you have to continue living."

After a pause, Lu Weiwei also thought about it and said, "Why don't we choose a fine day and go to a nearby temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, where the place is quiet."

"I heard that many businessmen, who have suffered setbacks in business, like to go to that place to calm down."

Turning her head to look at He Lijie in the back row, Lu Weiwei also smiled and said: "In your situation, the only one who can cure you may be yourself. You can consider my suggestion."

"Thank you." He Lijie readily accepted Lu Weiwei's advice, but explained to the two of them:
"Actually, I have also been there. The temple, to be honest, can be regarded as a kind of spiritual sustenance."

"When I am happy, I will go there to burn incense and worship Buddha. When my business goes bankrupt, I will also go there to burn incense and worship Buddha to seek relief."

He Lijie sighed heavily, and He Lijie also laughed at himself: "I remember at that time, I sold my villa in Shanghai and just returned to Jiangnan City."

"I went to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. I met a fortune-teller. He said that if he gave him 100 yuan, he would show me my life's career."

"I said, give it fifty. He smiled and complained. He said, why are you still negotiating the price? He said, I'm showing you a career, so you can see it right."

"So I asked him, can you see what I do first? I told him, I have no money now, if I want money, let alone one hundred, I will give him two hundred."

"Okay." Hearing that He Lijie had this kind of decompression experience, Lu Weiwei agreed and immediately shut up.

After all, for a capable person like He Lijie, he might give himself many ways to relieve stress, and he might have tried all of his suggestions.

At this moment, He Lijie continued to rub his cheeks, turned to look at Gu Chen and said, "Comrade policeman, do you have any cigarettes? I'm addicted to cigarettes again."

"I'm sorry, I don't smoke." Gu Chen's words immediately disappointed He Lijie in the back row.

He waved his hand, leaned back on the seat, and said with a wry smile, "It's okay. At first, I could still rely on smoking to relieve my worries."

"But later on, I found out that I don't even have the spare money to smoke."

With a heavy sigh, He Lijie also said with a wry smile: "If life is defined as a watershed by the age of 42, in fact, the first half of my life was really smooth."

"Do you know? My first pot of gold was when I just graduated. At that time, it was 20 years ago. I just graduated. I started my own training institution and represented some educational products."

"And get results quickly, do well, and earn a lot."

"Then how much did you earn on your first pot of gold?" Gu Chen was not in a hurry to leave now, so he simply chatted with He Lijie.

He Lijie closed his eyes and thought, and then blurted out: "A few million, then, I bought a house and a car in the second year, and I felt very floating and unreal."

"Because I dated a girlfriend at the time. She was an art student and liked music very much. Later, I used the rest of the money to open a music restaurant near her school and let her be the proprietress."

Speaking of this, it seems that he recalled the experience of the year again, He Lijie smiled gratifiedly, and said involuntarily:
"You may not believe it if you say it. When my music restaurant opened, it was well managed because of its advanced thinking."

"Since the first day, it has been very popular, and the restaurant is full every day."

"And this situation has lasted for a whole year, plus other industry income, that year, I earned nearly 800 million."

"It seems that you have a good business idea." Listening to He Lijie, within a few years of graduation, he bought a house and a car, and he still has 800 million cash in hand.

More importantly, He Lijie's industry is sustainable to make money.

Listening to Gu Chen's compliment, He Lijie also looked relieved, and continued to communicate with Gu Chen:

"Yeah, I was one of the best graduates of our class, because I was good at market research at that time."

"So I know that, near the university, you often need some atmosphere of bar music."

"Also because I just graduated from university, I know what the students want? Because they need this kind of environment to be released. This kind of life has passed for about three or four years."

"At that time, when it was very easy for you to earn money, you didn't take money seriously, and spent money lavishly, and when you spent money, you didn't even blink your eyes."

"Because you think that if you spend today, you will earn money tomorrow anyway."

When he said this, He Lijie was taken aback for a moment, and then began to laugh wryly at himself.

Gu Chen looked at He Lijie, who kept shaking his head in the rearview mirror, but didn't answer.

Gu Chen knows that the current He Lijie just needs some listeners to hear how he has come through step by step over the years.

Especially He Lijie, locked himself at home for half a year, what is the difference between this and jail?
It can be seen that if the mood is suppressed for too long, if there is no outlet for release, severe depression will form.

And a serious listener can help He Lijie to release this depressed mood.

Therefore, both Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei are willing to spend time and give He Lijie enough opportunities to share.

He Lijie sniffed his nose, took a sip of mineral water, and then said:
"At that time, in my teens and 20s, I was very immature, naive, even arrogant and arrogant."

"Can you imagine? A college student who just graduated, reached the peak of his life in a few years and earned so much money, but he is still so young and has an immature face."

Sighing, He Lijie said again: "I sold my first car at that time, and then changed to a red sports car."

"Young man, you have achieved something, don't you have to show it off? Don't you just want to tell those of your age that I am better than you."

"So, since then, on the road outside my girlfriend's school, I often see a red sports car whizzing past those students, and that person is me."

"Looking at the envious eyes of those students, I feel so happy in my heart. I feel that these people will never be able to feel my mood at that time."

"Besides, at that time, I didn't know when so many friends appeared? In short, I always have three or four friends by my side."

"Then, they support you in various ways, and then say good things, say what you like to hear, and then, at night, I take them to spend, and I pay for all kinds of consumption."

Taking a deep breath, He Lijie rested his forehead with one hand, as if he also felt worthless for his stupidity at the beginning.

Lu Weiwei said with a smile, "It's okay? It's human nature. If I could achieve what you achieved when I just graduated, I might be even more glamorous than you were then."

"You have the capital to float. You earned the money legally based on your ability. How to spend it is your own business."

"It's just that, at that time, if you start to distribute those wealth reasonably, maybe it would be better?"

There is also a saying, Lu Weiwei feels that He Lijie has suddenly become a rich man from an ordinary college graduate.

That feeling was indeed somewhat unreal for him who had just graduated.

It is reasonable to say that it is blissful.

And He Lijie also nodded silently, and said involuntarily: "You are right, I also comfort myself in this way."

"I think, I just wanted to prove myself at the time, and I didn't want people to look down on me, that's the state."

"I think this may be caused by the shallowest inferiority complex in my heart."

"Because my family conditions were not very good since I was a child, when I was in school, I often did some work-study jobs."

"I came into contact with society very early and understood the cruelty of the law of the jungle in society."

"When my classmates were still playing various card games in the dormitory, I had already started my own primitive accumulation."

After a pause, He Lijie also proudly shared with Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei:

"I'm not afraid to tell you that all my university tuition fees are earned by myself. With various scholarships, my small coffers are not bad."

"This also made it possible for me to start a business after graduation. Moreover, because my girlfriend is an art student, many of the college students I met later were from art schools."

"Many of them are hosts, including those in the TV industry, as well as those in the film and television industry, many, many."

"And I will have many business contacts with these people who I establish contacts with."

"Then, through this carrier, I can get to know more people, that is, I have some contacts and resources related to the industry I will do in the future."

"I found that with the accumulation of those years and the wealth in my hand, it has become very easy for me to make friends. If I want to meet someone, I don't need you to invite them, they will automatically come to make friends with you."

"That is to say, in the later years, counting from today, it should be seven or eight years ago. I started to set up my own film and television company, and became the kind of film and television investor in the eyes of others."

"Then you should be very familiar with the film and television industry, right?" Hearing that He Lijie has actually been in the film and television industry, Lu Weiwei still has a high regard for him.

He Lijie nodded silently: "That's right, it can be said that in those few years, I watched the industry go from being impetuous to returning to calm, from seeing it rise from a tall building, and then witnessing the process of its collapse."

"I invested in several film and television works and became the producer of these works, but the response was mediocre."

"I remember that the entire film and television industry at that time was a place where all kinds of capital gathered."

"As long as you are creative and have a team, you can get a lot of resources in this circle, because all industries are compatible."

"It's no exaggeration to say that when my company was the largest, including those artists and actors, there were nearly 100 people, and I wanted to support a team of nearly 100 people."

"That's a big company." Hearing what He Lijie said, Gu Chen also felt that this is indeed a film and television predator.

With this scale, when the film and television industry was the most prosperous, it should not be underestimated.

But at this moment, He Lijie shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Too impetuous, I was really impetuous back then."

"You don't know, just take those few years as an example, from getting a project, to getting funding, to meeting the investor, the whole process may be done in just one drink."

"We don't even have a script, we just have a rudimentary storyline."

"Isn't that painting big cakes?" Gu Chen interrupted directly.

He Lijie immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's what people call painting big cakes now. Back then, the film and television circles painted big cakes, and they really liked it."

"Take us at that time as an example. At that time, we also got venture capital and got investment. We didn't have an angel round. We just got a round A, and we got tens of millions of investment directly in the A round."

"Let's just feel, all of this doesn't seem to be real, it's a very illusory feeling."

"Of course, I also feel a little confused, because in that process, when you get the result too easily, you will be confused and even feel unreal."

"At that time, I thought I would become a first-tier film and television investor in China, and I felt that everything went very smoothly. I still remember that on the night when I got the investment, I directly distributed red envelopes crazily in my team group. "

"That night, I sent out many red envelopes in a row, totaling more than 3 yuan. I felt so happy, because I will lead the entire industry, and I feel that my talent can be realized anywhere and in any field."

While excited, He Lijie suddenly felt lonely.

It seems that the excitement just now just stayed a few years ago.

Lu Weiwei seemed to see some problems, so she asked him: "What happened later? The industry has been reshuffled, right? In fact, this is also the precipitation of the industry."

He Lijie smiled slightly, and nodded in response: "That's right, I was in the film and television industry at that time, and I was still at my peak."

"This kind of industry platform often invites me to participate in activities. I feel that I was very busy during that time. I was participating in various inside and outside circles, and various project exchange meetings."

"Just this film festival alone, I have participated in a lot, because every night, I just go to various bureaus and run around."

"You may be staying in this hotel tonight, and then in that hotel tomorrow, and then, when you wake up the next day, you seem to have forgotten everything that happened yesterday."

"Those people I met at the wine bureau gradually lost their impressions. Sometimes, when we communicated together at night, everyone introduced me and said so."

"Why is this a certain film company in Shanghai, a famous investor, but when they introduce it further, they can't tell."

"Because, although I am an investor in the film and television industry, the projects I invest in are all works with mediocre response."

"All in all, it's because you don't have a decent work to show, right?" Gu Chen thought about it for the same reason.

He Lijie didn't refute, but nodded in agreement: "That's right, comrade policeman, what you said is absolutely right."

"Although I have made a lot of investment in film and television, what do I invest in? Although it is a work, it just can't be sold, and its influence is average."

"Speaking out, no one has even heard of it, and they can only find out with a temporary search on their mobile phone. How embarrassing do you think this is?"

"Besides, because of some factors at that time, the chaos in our entire film and television industry also began to be rectified, and a stop was adopted."

"And then, I feel that not only my film and television company, but the entire industry is being reshuffled."

"The group of people who are working now have either disappeared, disappeared, or changed their careers."

"Then everyone stopped contacting each other because everyone knew that each other's life was not good."

Speaking of this, he seemed to feel a little sad, He Lijie couldn't help his nose sore, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Gu Chen saw all this through the rearview mirror of the car, and casually took out a few tissues from the car, and handed them to He Lijie in the back row.

He Lijie sniffed and said with a sob, "Thank you."

"Don't be sad, the film and television industry is like this, especially in the past few years, many film and television companies have lost money and closed their doors."

"Even those industry leaders are having a hard time. They are losing money in their quarterly reports, and there is no lower limit for various layoffs."

"Tell me, all the leaders in the film and television industry are like this, let alone someone like you caught in the middle?"

"You're right." Listening to Gu Chen's remarks, He Lijie also felt that it was true.

With a sigh, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a tissue. He Lijie also looked at the rearview mirror of the car and said with red eyes:

"I'm just not reconciled. It was so brilliant at the beginning, and it was beautiful wherever I went, but later, the film and television company was forced to close down."

Turning his head to look out the window, He Lijie also continued to think about it and said: "I remember, I never shed a single tear in front of my family."

"On the day when the film and television company was closed, I would silently shed tears while hiding in the bathroom."

"And all the tears I shed were not because of myself, but for the brothers and sisters who used to work for me, who were forced to lose their jobs."

"I feel that I am so incompetent that I made these people unemployed and left my company. Even in my current state, it is at this moment that I truly recognize my ability."

After thinking about it, He Lijie said again: "What is that sentence called? How do you say it? It's just...by luck..."

"The money earned by luck is lost by strength." Before He Lijie could finish speaking, Lu Weiwei directly said the whole sentence according to his words.

He Lijie nodded slightly: "Yes, that's the sentence, it's really true."

At the end of the talk, He Lijie seemed to lose all energy, and he began to sigh.

Gu Chen also frowned, leaned back on the seat, turned around and asked He Lijie:
"I said, Mr. He, you have been in the industry for so many years, and you should have made many friends. Didn't you ever think about asking those friends for help when you were in trouble?"

Seeing that He Lijie remained silent, Gu Chen said again: "Could it be, haven't you asked anyone?"

"Very little, or none." He Lijie said with a sigh.

"Why?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Because I can't open my mouth." He Lijie said truthfully with a dejected expression on his face:
"To be honest, for people like me, only others ask me for help."

"Because of all the smooth sailing in the early years, I have achieved many achievements that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve."

"So, I'm a little flustered. To put it simply, in the impression of others, I am a role in the sky, which is unattainable for people."

"Therefore, I don't want them to see my downcast side at this time."

"Really, I don't want them to see me now. Although they may know my current situation, I just feel that I can't save face."

"Alas!" Hearing what He Lijie said, Lu Weiwei also said angrily:
"Why do you say you have to? Is it really so difficult to lose face if you want to lose face?"

"Comrade policewoman." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, He Lijie looked up at her and said meaningfully:
"You haven't experienced these things with me. It may be difficult for you to understand the psychology of a person who fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley."

"To be honest, I am a vain person. I had many friends at the beginning, it was because of my achievements and my career was on the rise."

"But what do I have now? I have nothing. The friends I had a good relationship with at the beginning were based on the fact that I have value to use. For them, they are people who can provide value."

"But now, I'm a loser with a lot of debt. It's too late for them to hide from me? How dare they contact me? After all, I'm carrying an eight-figure debt."

"That's right." Hearing what He Lijie said, Lu Weiwei suddenly understood He Lijie's embarrassing situation.

Gu Chen also saw that He Lijie was a little pitiful, so he asked casually: "Then after you moved your family back to Jiangnan City, those friends never contacted you again?"

"No, not a single one." He Lijie shook his head and sighed, but with a smile on his lips, he said again:

"After I moved back to Jiangnan City, I suddenly felt that it was because I hadn't lived with my family for such a long time."

"I'm always on a business trip, and then, after I've lived with my family for a period of time, I found that only at this time can I truly appreciate the warmth of a family."

Smiling, He Lijie also withdrew his frustration, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Every day when the child wakes you up in the morning, all the haze in your mind will be forgotten in an instant."

"My previous concept of family was very weak, including my children. I never attended any parent-teacher meetings until my children graduated from elementary school."

"My mother went there. I haven't been there once. It is my family that has supported me until now, especially my wife. She has paid too much for me."

In the end, He Lijie covered his face with his hands, looking exhausted.

Of course, through the rearview mirror, Gu Chen could also see He Lijie's fatigue, which was due to his addiction to cigarettes.

"Then your wife, can she accept your situation now?" Gu Chen also asked casually.

He Lijie looked up, and said with a smile: "Of course, she knew from the beginning that she is my only wealth until today."

"Because we both graduated from school and got married until now, my only spiritual support."

"And, she's the only person I can fully confide in."

"That's right?" Hearing what He Lijie said, Lu Weiwei couldn't help explaining:
"Do you know how distraught your wife was when she called our police station to call the police?"

"She knew that you were depressed and that you might be overwhelmed. She cried and asked us to call the police immediately to find your trace."

"For her and the child, you, Mr. He, are the whole of this family, and this family cannot lose you."

"Yes, I know." Listening to Lu Weiwei's narration, He Lijie seemed to feel very guilty, and said with a sob:

"At that time, the state of my wife and I was that when we saw something interesting, the next day, we directly started preparing to buy a ticket to fly there. This is the state."

"But what about now? The current state is that, passing by a Starbucks, I don't even want to buy a cup of coffee."

"Then, I can only pass by a canteen nearby to buy a bottle of mineral water."

Taking a deep breath, He Lijie tried his best to rub his face with his hands, and said with emotion:

"Maybe after a while, I will go to the United States and continue to start a business."

"It's like what you told me before, the driver who went to drive an online car-hailing car after the clothing business went bankrupt."

"To be honest, I can also do it. I can even wash dishes, or even set up a street stall to sell small commodities. I can do all of these."

"However, I can't save my face in China, because there are too many people who know me, and my face has been overdrawn over the years."

"Now if those people see me like this, they will laugh at me crazily. I definitely can't bear it."

"You don't have to care too much about these things." Lu Weiwei said.

"No, I care." He Lijie retorted directly.

Inside the police car, the atmosphere was suddenly extremely awkward.

Both sides paused for a few seconds.

And He Lijie also explained to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei: "Comrade policeman, I am a person with strong self-esteem. Really, I also have a certain sense of shame."

"If those friends of mine at the beginning saw me who is down and out now, I might not be able to think about it."

"That's why I moved directly back to Jiangnan City from the city where I lived for decades, just because I didn't want my acquaintances in the city to see me as a down and out."

"As for doing these things in China, I believe that I can't save my face. I have to change the environment, start again in a place where everyone doesn't know me, and then I can truly be free."

At the end, He Lijie cried again.

But this time, He Lijie didn't cry, he just kept crying.

But all of this was inadvertently seen by Gu Chen.

At the same place, a few days ago, Gu Chen helped a penniless Gao Fei, making him come back from the brink of a nervous breakdown.

Gao Fei is a person with nothing, he doesn't even know what a rich person looks like?
But now, at the same place, the person sitting in the back of the police car was replaced by He Lijie.

And He Lijie is a model figure for college graduates.

It can be said that since he graduated from university, he has been going smoothly.

During the peak period, there are as many as two small goals for the book funds that can be used.

He has real estate all over the world, as well as luxury cars, and even various enviable industries.

But now, He Lijie seems to be not as good as Gao Fei. He has nothing now, and he is even in debt.

Relying on various loans to maintain their livelihood every day.

What is Gao Fei's life like if he has never been in contact with the top rich people?Then he is lucky.

But when Gao Fei has been in contact with it and broadened his horizons, and let him go back to the trough and return to nothing, Gao Fei's psychological endurance may not be so strong.

Therefore, Gu Chen felt that Gao Fei had to be treated differently from He Lijie.

But both need to fully respect the choices of the two and provide them with help within their ability.

"Mr. He." Seeing that He Lijie's mood seemed to have returned to normal, Gu Chen asked him:
"It's okay to take you home now, right?"

"No." He Lijie shook his head and vetoed the words.

Lu Weiwei frowned slightly: "Mr. He, at least you still have a home in Jiangnan City, and a whole family waiting for you. Don't you want to go home?"

"That's not what I meant." Seeing that Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen didn't seem to understand what he meant, He Lijie said again:
"Comrade policeman, I have an unkind request."

"Tell me." Seeing that He Lijie still had some problems to solve, Gu Chen asked him to explain the situation.

And He Lijie also said slowly: "I want to go to a place and go home later, I don't know, can you send me there?"

Hearing He Lijie's remarks, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other in confusion, wondering what He Lijie wanted to do?
Lu Weiwei also asked him, "Mr. He, is that far away?"

"Not far." He Lijie shook his head.

"Alright then, tell me, where are you going?" Seeing this situation, Lu Weiwei agreed.

"Hejiaba Primary School in the west of the city." He Lijie said.

When Gu Chen heard this, he also explained: "I remember that place, there seemed to be an elementary school before, but that elementary school has been demolished long ago, and it has become a ruin."

"Really?" He Lijie turned his head to look at Gu Chen's speech, but still insisted: "So, you two, can you send me there?"

"This..." Gu Chen was a little embarrassed, so he glanced at Lu Weiwei beside him.

Lu Weiwei has never seen such troublesome things before. She just felt that finding you, comforting you, and sending you home is the end of the mission.

According to the process, this is the case, but now He Lijie doesn't seem to follow the routine, and there are many thoughts in his mind.

You know, how much time would it take to send He Lijie to the ruins of Hejiaba Primary School on this late night, and then send him home?

Among other things, what is there to see in the ruins of the elementary school in Hejiaba?Still have to go there at night?
Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei also discussed the matter: "Can't we go during the day?"

"I want to go now." He Lijie continued.

He also saw the embarrassment of the two policemen, so He Lijie said again: "If you delay your work, you can choose to go back. I can walk there alone, or take a taxi."

He was also afraid that He Lijie would continue to do something self-harming. After all, He Lijie's wife called and said that He Lijie had severe depression.

For a depressed patient, Gu Chen would not feel strange doing anything out of the ordinary.

But if He Lijie chose to come to a hidden corner on the way and end his own life, then the police dispatch with Lu Weiwei might cause serious problems.

Thinking of a good person who will do his best to send the Buddha to the west, Gu Chen still agreed: "That's fine, we will send you there."

"Thank you then." He Lijie put his palms together and bowed to Gu Chen.

Soon, Gu Chen started the car and started driving towards Hejiaba Primary School in the west of the city.

When the vehicle arrived at Hejiaba in the west of the city, the surrounding area was already dark.

This is a dam of a river. When the river comes here, it is intercepted by Hejiaba to raise the water level.

Because there are not many roads and buildings near Hejiaba, it looks very desolate.

But when He Lijie saw this, he got out of the car straight away and looked in the direction of Hejiaba.

"It's so late, what on earth is this He Lijie going to do?" Lu Weiwei was confused as well.

You know, from the moment he found He Lijie, he and Gu Chen were in the police car together, giving He Lijie all kinds of comfort.

He also listened to He Lijie's talk about his past, and this back and forth had already wasted a lot of time.

But now, He Lijie had to be sent to Hejiaba.

It seems that there is nothing here, and I don't know what He Lijie is thinking?
Due to the darkness around, Gu Chen simply turned the car around and pointed the front of the car at Hejiaba.

At this moment, due to the illumination of the light, a long shadow instantly appeared in front of He Lijie.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei also got out of the car at the same time and came to He Lijie's side.

"Mr. He, why did you come here?" Gu Chen asked him first.

He Lijie smiled slightly, and also explained: "This, Hejiaba, is my hometown."

"So you are from Hejiaba?" Hearing what He Lijie said, Lu Weiwei also suddenly realized, and then asked again:

"Then, the Hejiaba Primary School you're talking about should be the primary school you once attended, right?"

"Yes." He Lijie nodded slightly, and also voluntarily admitted:

"I graduated from Hejiaba Primary School. There are too many memories of me here. Back then, my parents died in a car accident. They were from Hejiaba, and they raised me together."

"It can be said that I grew up eating Baijiafan here, and there are many memories of me here."

"I even told the folks in Hejiaba that when I am prosperous, I will build a new school here so that children from the surrounding areas will come to Hejiaba to attend elementary school."

"But." Just as He Lijie finished speaking, Gu Chen also interrupted:

"But as far as I know, the building of Hejiaba Primary School has become a dangerous building due to years of disrepair and dilapidated teaching buildings."

"Later, after the unified coordination of the local government, it was decided to demolish Hejiaba Primary School, and then put the primary school's site in Liujiaba upstream, where there is also a dam."

"That's right." He Lijie seemed to feel even more uncomfortable after hearing Gu Chen's words. He also sniffed and said involuntarily:
"At the beginning, I made a vow that I would build a primary school for my hometown, Hejiaba, but I have said so for so many years, but I have never acted."

Taking a deep breath and trying to calm down, He Lijie said again:
"At the beginning, after I graduated, I bought a car, a house, my own music bar, and even set up my own film and television company later."

"In those years, I did make a lot of money. At the peak of the funds on the books, there were even two small goals."

"But I never thought about what I promised, I never even thought about going back to Hejiaba again."

Shaking his head, He Lijie seemed very regretful, and continued to choke up and said:

"But now, I have nothing and come back here in despair, only to find out that because I did not fulfill my promise, the people of Hejiaba did not continue to keep the dilapidated primary school, and agreed to the arrangement above."

"The old site of Hejiaba Primary School will be demolished, and then merged into Liujiaba upstream."

Taking a deep breath, He Lijie looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said unwillingly:

"From then on, I became a joke, a real joke."

"Maybe in the eyes of Hejiaba people, I'm a liar, a person who doesn't know how to repay, I'm such a bastard, I can't even do this small thing well, I'm damned..."

He also heard He Lijie's various self-blame. At this moment, on the other side of Hejiaba, a flashlight suddenly shot.

The lights quickly passed over Gu Chen and the others.

Soon, Gu Chen noticed a tall and thin figure suddenly walking on the dam on the opposite bank.

Gu Chen could tell from his figure that this was an elderly man who was walking slowly with a crutch-like object in his hand.

He Lijie also stopped complaining at this moment, immediately stood up straight, and kept observing the situation on the other side with his eyes.

"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!"

On the Hejiaba at this moment, apart from the sound of flowing water below, there is also the sound of the old man walking with a cane.

Seeing the figure getting closer and closer, the figure suddenly stopped 15 meters away from everyone.

Both sides look at each other.

Due to the shining of the car lights and the flashlight of the opponent's flashlight, everyone's sight was somewhat blocked.

However, at this moment, the tall and thin old man suddenly spoke:
"Yes...is Lijie back?"

A vicissitudes of voice immediately made He Lijie's eyes shine.

At this time, He Lijie's lips trembled, as if he was also taken aback.

Seeing that He Lijie didn't reply, the old man on the opposite side confirmed again: "Is He Lijie back? Is it you? My child?"
