Chapter 31
Lei Shuo was still denouncing Lei Yao loudly: "What right do you have to entrap others? Do you think you are a victim? Are you really a victim? You and Lan Ling are not suitable at all, I have seen it a long time ago! You think I Is it harming you? Didn’t she dump you now? You are not a victim! You are harming others! Have you ever thought about whether you are worthy of other girls? Not to mention that she is sincere to you. She is so clear In vain, you did nothing wrong, but you used it as a cover. You know, after this incident, she might not be able to find a partner, do you know that?!"

Lei Yao's face turned red from being scolded, but he watched Si Yu nervously. He was afraid that Si Yu would resonate with Lei Shuo's words or cause misunderstandings.However, Si Yu's expression was obscure, as if he really reacted to Lei Shuo's words.He was flustered for a while, and finally lost his composure, and shouted at Lei Shuo, "It's all because of you! I won't do this...God knows what you will do to Lan Ling? Don't you think I don't know? You are an inhumane thing!"

"What?" Lei Shuo's face turned purple, and he punched Lei Yao hard.

Li Buyan screamed, and rushed over to hug Lei Shuo's fist.

Lei Yao fell to the ground, with blood overflowing from his mouth.He wiped his lips, looked fiercely at Lei Shuo, and was about to punch.

Si Yu rushed to his side in time and squeezed his fist.The father and son just looked at each other like enemies for many years.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, the anger in Lei Shuo's eyes disappeared, replaced by grievance, bewilderment, sadness and despair.He sighed heavily, turned and left, with tears in his tone.After hearing his sigh, Lei Yao was stunned, his gaze was like a black hole.

Li Buyan was afraid that Lei Shuo might be angry, so he left with him.Si Yu pulled Lei Yao to sit on a chair, and wiped the blood from his mouth with a cotton ball.Lei Yao's expression was bewildered, he stared blankly at the ground, as if he was suppressing an indescribable pain.

"Did he beat you often before?" Si Yu asked cautiously.

"No." Lei Yao sighed long, looked up at the ceiling, "This is the first time."

Si Yu was startled, a word came to his lips, but he dared not say it.There seems to be a deep misunderstanding between Lei Yao and Lei Shuo.She couldn't speculate whether Lei Shuo had done cruel things in the process of capital accumulation, but Lei Yao said that he was a beast father who lived a corrupt life and ignored others, but she felt that Lei Shuo might have been wronged.Because today's quarrel shows that Lei Shuo is very concerned about Lei Yao's life and mental state, it seems that he shouldn't be a bad father who doesn't care about his family.

The door opened suddenly, and Li Buyan walked in with hesitation and guilt.Seeing that the corners of Lei Yao's mouth were swollen, she immediately posted it heartbroken: "Son, does it hurt? Why are you so reckless today? How could you mess with your dad like this?"

Lei Yao smiled wryly, and looked at his mother lovingly: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all. I know what kind of person he is, so I don't think it's surprising."

Li Buyan suddenly became ashamed, hesitated and said, "Mom is here to tell you about this today, but your father is not what you think!"

Not only Lei Yao, but even Si Yu was stunned.

Li Buyan looked regretful beyond words, lowered his head and said, "I know you hate Dad, most of it is because of what I said to you, isn't it?"

Lei Yao nodded blankly, suddenly became very nervous and frightened.

"Actually, those things were investigated without evidence. I didn't investigate at all. At that time, my mother was not mentally normal. Seeing that he never came to get close to me, she hated him. When she hated, she became suspicious and guessed randomly. As long as he followed me When I meet with women, I suspect that they are ambiguous, and when I suspect too much, I feel that it is true, so I complain to you, I'm sorry..."

Lei Yao jumped up and stared blankly at Li Buyan, his eyes were about to fall out.

Li Buyan didn't dare to look him in the eye, and said regretfully, "Please forgive mom, mom didn't do it on purpose. Mom was mentally abnormal at the time, so she thought it was true. Later, she realized that she might have wronged your dad, and ended up messing with you." You father and son are at odds, I'm sorry!" She didn't dare to look up at Lei Yao for a long time after saying this, but she finally mustered up the courage but was petrified.

Lei Yao looked at her expressionlessly, his eyes were so sharp that they could bleed on her face.

"You're lying to me, aren't you?" Lei Yao sneered and said, "Now that you've reconciled with him, you don't want to be messed up by me, so you just lied to me, right?"

"No, it's not..." Li Buyan hurriedly defended, but Lei Yao didn't give her a chance to explain, "You...you are too despicable! I have been fighting for you, fighting for you, but you are doing it for your own benefit , make up such a lie to lie to me!" At the end, he was already yelling, "What do you think of me? An idiot's loyal dog?! You treat your child like this, get out! I don't want to see you again you!"

The corners of Lei Yao's mouth bleed again because he roared too fiercely.Si Yu hurriedly held it down with a handkerchief, turned her head and signaled worriedly to Li Buyan: It's better for you to leave for a while.Li Buyan's body trembled, his heart ached to the point of falling to death, he looked at Si Yu with jealous and injured eyes, and went out sobbing.Si Yu sighed inwardly, and used cotton balls to treat his wound again.

It must be very painful to have the wound re-opened. As the cotton ball rubbed, Si Yu could see a tendon under Lei Yao's ear trembling slightly, but the muscles on his face remained motionless.

"If it hurts, just say it!" Si Yu sighed quietly.She not only refers to Lei Yao's physical pain, but also hopes that he can vent the pain in his heart.

"It's nothing." Lei Yao smiled wryly, "I've been numb for a long time, but I never thought that my mother would deceive me for the sake of harmony between husband and wife. What does she think I am?"

It seems that Lei Yao has decided that Lei Shuo is a bastard who has done all kinds of bad things.Childhood memory is something that is deeply rooted in the soul and cannot be easily erased.That being the case, it seems that she should not talk too much.But she couldn't stop talking, because she couldn't watch Lei Yao break up with his father and then have a gap with his mother.The great pain of human beings is that the child wants to support but the relative is not there.If he really misunderstood his parents, he will regret it after a few years.But if something happened to Lei Yao's parents in these few years, what kind of sorrow and regret would be waiting for him?
"Actually..." Si Yu stared at Lei Yao intently, carefully considering every word, "I think your mother may be lying to you, but it may not be. Your father may be like that, but also Probably not like that."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Lei Yao frowned.

"I want to say." Si Yu stared into his eyes, his voice was calm and gentle, but extremely powerful, "Why don't you check it out yourself? Find out what happened back then, and what happened to your father's so-called 'Crime Committed in Primitive Accumulation of Capital'."

Lei Yao pondered for a while, then stood up suddenly, and said, "I'll ask Lao Li to check for me immediately."

Knowing that he was referring to a private detective, Si Yu said softly but firmly: "No, you'd better check it out yourself. Through your own eyes, your own ears, your own feelings...don't pretend to others."

Like waking up from a dream, Lei Yao showed an extremely excited expression, but then he was completely bewildered, even a little panicked.

Lei Yao finally decided to go with Si Yu to investigate his father's crimes.The first person to ask was Mo Xiaoyu, the protagonist of the "little girl incident" that caught his attention the most.

Mo Xiaoyu came to work in Lei Shuo's factory when he was 17 years old, because it was the early days of Lei Shuo's business, and he was also working in the front line, so somehow she and Lei Shuo had an affair.Lei Yao was only 12 years old at the time, and when he heard from his mother that his father had actually attacked a girl who was only five years older than him, he was so angry that he was half dead, and he didn't calm down for more than half a month.Now that the old wound is being torn again, Lei Yao is a little nervous.

Mo Xiaoyu is now 32 years old, married to a teacher, and has an eight-year-old daughter.After planning for a long time, Lei Yao and Si Yu felt that they would not be able to find anything if they asked her directly, so they decided to use a tentative method.

They sent a text message to Mo Xiaoyu in the name of Lei Shuo.The content of the text message was ambiguous, and the subject was "Do you still remember the friendship back then?".

After Lei Yao and Si Yu sent a text message, they fell into a tense and sluggish state.They didn't know what kind of text messages Zhang Xiaoyu would reply, or whether she would reply to text messages.Anyway, it was all 15 years ago.Regardless of whether it was black or white at the beginning, it was hard to say that she would still be in the mood to entangle this old matter.

Mo Xiaoyu did not reply to the text message, but called directly.Si Yu and Lei Yao were caught off guard and didn't know what to do.Lei Yao gritted his teeth, answered the phone bravely, and spoke to Mo Xiaoyu in Lei Shuo's tone.

Although Lei Yao and Lei Shuo are father and son, they have similar accents, but they are 30 years younger than Lei Shuo after all, so they definitely can't match the fake ones with the real ones.But Mo Xiaoyu didn't care about this. First, she and Lei Shuo hadn't contacted each other for more than ten years, and now she was very excited: "Uncle Lei, of course I remember your kindness to me, your kindness to me I will remember it all my life. At that time, my mother was sick and had no money for medical treatment. You lent us the money and didn’t want us to pay it back. Seeing that I was not in good health, you transferred me to work in a relaxed workshop. I always remember. You now Okay? Can I go and see you? I often tell my son about your kindness to me, and want my son to recognize you as a godfather, can I go and see you..."

After perfunctory Mo Xiaoyu, Lei Yao was at a loss.He stared blankly at the ground, the corners of his mouth twitched constantly, and something seemed to be gushing out of his eyes.Si Yu knew that he must be regretting that he had wronged his father, so he tentatively said, "Then let's go home now?"

"No." Lei Yao suddenly raised his head and said in a low voice, "Aren't there other parties involved? We should ask again."

Si Yu noticed that he was staring into the distance with a serious expression, his face was full of bewilderment and panic, his brows twitched slightly, as if two forces were fighting fiercely in his heart.

Si Yu was dumbfounded, she saw Lei Yao's inner pain too simply.In any case, it was something he once believed in deeply, and it was not so easy to be completely overthrown.He still needs some time, and more evidence.

The interviews with other parties were also smooth, and the facts were exactly as Li Buyan said.Eight points of Lei Shuo's affairs were false, and the remaining two points were unsubstantiated, which can be regarded as Li Buyan's conjecture.Lei Yao stood blankly in the wind, his face full of confusion, regret and panic.He looks like a child who has made a heinous mistake, so hard to accept his mistake that he even wants to escape by losing his memory.

"Are we going to investigate your father's 'original sin' next?" Si Yu asked him softly.

"No." Lei Yao smiled contemptuously, "This 'original sin' may actually have been added by me as a matter of course. At that time, because I had doubts about my father, my mentality changed, so I believed what others said, and I would rather believe bad things. , and I don’t want to believe it’s okay. Now that I think about it, the person who said these words to me was a childhood playmate of mine, and his father is my father’s business partner. Business partners are like this. Today is a friend, and tomorrow It might be the enemy. When we cooperate together, we may also have two minds, ready to put the other side together at any time, I shouldn't believe his words, at least I should check..."

Si Yu was silent, it turned out that Lei Shuo's "original sin" was also a Rashomon.Different standpoints mean different truths.The reasons for misunderstanding and prejudice in this world are nothing more than this.

Even so, Lei Yao still visited relevant people.Anyway, it was an old story more than ten years ago, and everything that should have surfaced has surfaced.Lei Yao's investigation of these incidents also met no resistance.The result is the same as the investigation of "Merry Debt", and they are all "unnecessary" charges.Lei Yao was completely confused, sitting in the car blankly, with a self-deprecating and self-pitying smile on his face, but tears flowed silently in his eyes.

Si Yu felt that it was time, and asked him tentatively, "Can we go back and talk to Dad?"

Lei Yao smiled wryly, but his voice was as light as a ghost: "You mean I should go back and reconcile with my father, right? But I think it's too late!"

"Why?" Si Yu felt unbelievable, "Didn't you realize that those were all misunderstandings?"

"How should I tell you?" Lei Yao rubbed his hair with a wry smile, tears streaming down his face, "Yes, I already knew that those were all misunderstandings...but those were just the cause of the conflict between our father and son. It's like a flower Seed... And my father and I later... misunderstood, and even... hurt each other many times. Yes. The misunderstanding at that time was indeed the cause, but it was only a seed, and our current contradiction has become A big tree. We can no longer restore a big tree to a seed... Even if the roots are removed, the trunk is still there... Do you understand?"

Si Yu was dumbfounded, although she didn't quite understand what Lei Yao meant, but she felt that he was vaguely saying that the conflicts between their father and son had accumulated too much and they could not go back.She felt that Lei Yao shouldn't be so pessimistic, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it might be true. It's not that she has never seen the conflict between Lei Yao and Lei Shuo.She had never seen such a big conflict between a father and son.She really wasn't sure if they could get rid of their previous suspicions.

Lei Yao drove Si Yu back home, both of them were silent.As soon as Lei Yao got home, he entered the room, while Si Yu wandered blankly at the door.The neighbor on the opposite side climbed onto the roof, let all the pigeons he raised go away, and then found an ax to smash the pigeon nest.He has always loved keeping pigeons, but for some reason he is reluctant to continue.Si Yu was surprised, but didn't intend to investigate further.The only thing that can make people give up a lifelong hobby is heart-wrenching pain.Her pain here is already too much, and there is no room for the pain of others.

For the next few hours, Si Yu's heart was heavy.Images of neighbors smashing pigeon coops and releasing pigeons are always recurring in my mind.She didn't know why at first, but then she understood.Isn't the relationship between a dove and its nest the same as that between a child and its parents?Now that the neighbors are chasing pigeons and destroying their nests in front of her, could it be that God is giving her a revelation that the relationship between Lei Yao and Lei Shuo is irretrievable?Si Yu felt an indescribable oppression in his chest, and couldn't help but want to see what the pigeon nest looked like now.

what!Si Yu was stunned when he walked outside the door.The neighbor's roof and the surrounding roofs are full of feathers.The pigeons are all back!With radiance, surround the master.Their owners were extremely remorseful and ashamed, watching them with tears in their eyes, and their bodies twitched violently.Si Yu seemed to be enlightened, knowing what to say to Lei Yao!

She ran to Lei Yao's room and pulled Lei Yao out.After listening to Si Yu's ins and outs, and looking at the pigeons, Lei Yao was also quite shocked, staring at them blankly, as if realizing something.Si Yu knew it was time, and said cautiously: "I know this may be a bit abstract. But, don't you look at this nest and the pigeons, aren't they just like parents and children? No matter what happens to the nest, or even if it is destroyed, the pigeons are still Will come back, I think no matter what happens between parents and children, children will still return to their parents' arms like doves returning home."

Lei Yao stood blankly, seemingly unresponsive.Si Yu could feel the ice in his heart melting, and she seemed to be able to hear the sound of the ice breaking in his heart.He stood there blankly for a while, then turned around and went to his father's study, where he waited for his father to come back and talked with him all night.

As the saying goes, broken bones connect tendons.Historically, as long as they are willing to reconcile, there are very few family members who cannot reconcile.The relationship between Lei Yao and Lei Shuo soon settled down, and the relationship was the same as before—no, it should be said to be better than before.It was only then that Lei Yao remembered that his father was his idol, and recalling the hostility between him and his father before, it was like a dream.This incident had a great impact on him, and his face soon became full of smiles, and his expression became more sunny than ever.Si Yu watched with relief, and smiled a little sadly.She knew that her own affairs should also be resolved. Although it was painful and desolate, she should go.
