Eye of Sin

Chapter 587 "House Arrest"

If he didn't ask, it was okay. When he asked, the old man suddenly felt like a lost child who couldn't find his home. Tears instantly filled his originally dry eyes, overflowing from the corners of his eyes and filling up the wrinkles on his cheeks.

Ning Shuyi was a little surprised. Although she knew from this posture that the old man must have something to ask her for help, she didn't expect that the old man would suddenly cry so sadly. Obviously, there was something more serious than she initially expected. Be serious.

"Don't be excited. Being excited is not good for your health." She quickly took a tissue from the side and handed it over to the old man to wipe his tears. "If you have anything, just say it and we will find a solution together."

"Child, you must help me. I'm locked up here and they put me under house arrest!" The old man wiped his tears and said to Ning Shuyi, "They said there was something wrong with my brain and I was confused. I'm locked up here, and I'm not allowed to go anywhere.

People here are all stupid too! They said I had Alzheimer's disease, talked nonsense, and walked around, but they believed me!
In fact, I know that he is the unfaithful son I gave birth to! In order to prevent me from looking for my grandson, he was afraid that I would actually find the child, so he did this to me! "

When Ning Shuyi heard the word "grandson", his heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely felt that this matter seemed to be related to Huo Yan.

"What's your name?" Ning Shuyi decided to first find out the origin of this old man who he had met twice but never knew his last name.

"My name is Xing Zongda. If I'm not mistaken, your colleague Huo Yan should be my grandson who has been separated for twenty or thirty years!" The old man said to Ning Shuyi while wiping his tears.

After he finished speaking, he was afraid that Ning Shuyi would regard him as a confused old man talking nonsense, so he quickly added: "I'm not talking nonsense, what I said is true, don't worry, just listen to what I have to say, okay? "

Ning Shuyi saw the eager look on his face and nodded quickly: "Okay, don't be in a hurry, Mr. Xing, please speak slowly!"

Xing Zongda wiped away his tears and nodded gratefully to Ning Shuyi: "Let me tell you about my family affairs first!
I originally had two sons, the eldest was named Xing Chongren and the second was named Xing Chongde. The two children were five or six years apart, so when they were young, my eldest son was more humble to his younger brother in everything. As for the second son, he was taken care of by my wife. He is doted on by his son, but he is not as sensible or as promising as his elder brother.

My eldest son has been very independent since he was a child. He knows clearly when he wants to do something and doesn't need me to worry about it.

When I got older, I went to college and found a very good girlfriend. They got married as soon as they graduated.

Originally, I wanted him to come back home and help me take care of the business at home. After all, he has such a mind and is the material. I thought very well at that time. In the future, the family business will be handed over to the boss to expand the territory. Yes, the second brother has an average mind and can't bear hardships. From now on, he will give his brother a hand. The two brothers will be able to live without worries for the rest of their lives. There is nothing wrong with that.

But my eldest son said that he should not take over his own business right out of school, as this would close his horizons, and he should still exercise outside.

I thought what he said made sense at the time, so I didn’t stop him, and the young couple started looking for jobs elsewhere.

My eldest son is a good prospect everywhere, and my daughter-in-law is also very good. The two of them got good training while working outside. Within a few years, they both got promoted. Later, we had children. We all planned to take advantage of the opportunity. As long as I can still do it, he can gain a few more years of experience and come back to take over things at home before the children go to school.

When they gave birth to a baby, we went over from W City to visit them. At that time, we said that the baby was too young and we were not willing to let such a small baby toss around on the road. We also agreed that we would go to their small home during the Spring Festival. Celebrate the holidays together over there. Unexpectedly...something happened within a few months..."

Ning Shuyi felt that his heartbeat was speeding up involuntarily: "What happened?"

"The house they lived in at the time had a garage on the first floor. A family stored a lot of gasoline in the garage and put several gas cans...

I don’t know what happened, but a fire broke out, and then the hot gas tank exploded, blowing up almost half of the two floors upstairs. The fire burned down half of the building. My eldest son’s family happened to be upstairs... …”

Although thirty years have passed, the old man still couldn't help but shed tears when he talked about what happened back then: "As soon as the news came back, my wife was sent directly to the hospital for rescue, and I was guarding him in the hospital.

My second son was already in his early twenties at the time and had just graduated from college. Although he was usually not very helpful, he was quite calm at times like this and offered to go over there for me to deal with my brother's family's affairs.

A few days later, he came back and told me that the living room, kitchen and one bedroom of his eldest son's house were all destroyed by the bomb. The family of three... were gone... He completed the formalities and took care of the funeral arrangements there. , and then come home.

Not long after that, my wife still couldn't bear it anymore and let go...

A few living people suddenly turned into four urns..."

Ning Shuyi felt a little confused when he heard it, but seeing that the old man was talking about something sad, he didn't have the heart to interrupt. Seeing that the old man was bursting with tears, he didn't have the heart to ask questions immediately, giving the old man some time to calm down.

After waiting for a while, she asked: "Four urns?"

Old man Xing Zongda nodded with tears in his eyes: "Yes, so over the years, my eldest son, my daughter-in-law, and my little grandson, who I have only met once, are a family of three, plus I followed them right away. Wife.

Just because my second son took care of his funeral from there and brought back three urns, two large and one small, I always thought that all three of my eldest son’s family died in that explosion.

Over the years, no matter how painful I was, I got through it. But last year, an old friend of our family suddenly came to me and told me that she and her daughter-in-law saw a man in the mall who looked similar to me. My oldest son is almost identical!
I didn't think much about it at all, thinking that she must have been wrong. After so many years, maybe she had misremembered my eldest son's appearance.

Then she said that when she saw that person that time, she thought she must have made a mistake, so she didn’t think much about it. Unexpectedly, she later saw that person’s photo in the newspaper. The more she looked at it, the more he looked like him, and she couldn’t help but come to me. Find me at home.

When I saw it, the newspaper published something about a policeman helping an abandoned child find his family. The young man in the photo above looked exactly like my eldest son when he was young! "
