the knife of love

Chapter 276 The past, the explosion three years ago

Guan Lue took it, and looked suspiciously at the phone screen...

Sun and Moon Xiaoxiao, for three years, all his pain and despair were sent to the top at that moment.

There is a photo on the screen of the mobile phone: at the entrance of the Yudu Hotel in Pagan, Myanmar, the setting sun is slanting from the distant mountains, and the golden sunlight is shrouded in the barren land. The girl in the photo is dressed in bright red The blouse is surrounded by a peacock blue longi skirt, and the skirt is narrow and long, clearly outlining the curve of her bulging belly. She just turned sideways to the camera, and she stood in the sun, gently pinching a The girl's hand, the girl's clothes are shabby, but on her wrist is wearing a Patek Philippe that obviously doesn't match her dress. The surface is studded with blue diamonds, shining brightly in the sun.

The girl didn't mind pinching her dirty hands at all, the smile on her face was as gentle as a bath, as if she was covered with a layer of holy light, it was too beautiful to behold.

Guan Lue's eyes lingered on this beautiful photo for a few minutes. The heart under his chest was lifted up and then slammed down to the ground.

It fucking hurts, hurts from all the punches and knife wounds he's ever had.

Seeing his expression, Su Jue knew that her guess was at least half right. It seems that Guan Lue didn't know that there was such a child.

"Sit down, I think it's necessary to sit down and talk to you about something."

Guan Lue shook his body holding the phone, and finally sat on the sofa behind him.

Su Jue went to the balcony to call Tian Xin and told him that he had to delay for a while. When he returned to the living room, seeing that Guan Lue's expression was still so painful and stiff, he took it easy and asked, "Drink water?"

"No need." Guan Lue's voice was obviously hoarse. He lowered his head and kept holding the old mobile phone in his hand, revealing half of his forehead and furrowed eyebrows.

Su Jue had absolute patience, it was still early, and the past was too chaotic, so he didn't rush, and waited for the person opposite to calm down before preparing to start.

The two men just sat there, the air flow in the room gradually slowed down, until the light outside the window faded, Guan Lue raised his blood red eyes.

"Can you tell me?"

"Say what? Kid?"

"Ah."

"The child is yours."

"I know..." Guan Lue bit the three words extremely painfully. According to the calculation of time, he was already able to confirm that the child belonged to him. What a cruel fact.

Su Jue sighed.

"She was pregnant before going to Myanmar, and it was almost four months since she left Yunling."

"Four months?"

A four-month-old child is almost ready to take shape.

Guan slightly closed his eyes again in pain.

"Why do you have to go?" He remembered that he went to her without hesitation at that time, hoping that the two of them could start over, but she insisted that she only regarded herself as a bed partner.

Su Jue couldn't answer this question clearly either. He is not a person who likes to get to the bottom of things. He has been with that girl for so many years, and he listened to her if she wanted to talk, and he never asked if she didn't want to.

"I guess I can't accept staying in Yunling anymore. At that time, your fiancée had just passed away, and everyone blamed her. She thought you should hate her very much, and she hated you too. There are so many things between you. You are estranged, and you know her temper well, she is twisted, admits to death, and likes to dig into corners."

To put it bluntly, I just can't think about it, holding my own wishful love and hate, I feel that I must end it.

Back then, the deaths of Qiu Qiguan and Lou Qingxiao were still between them, this thorn was too deep, Tang Ji left again, she really couldn't hold on when all thoughts were lost.

"But she is pregnant with my child." Guan Lue's heart hurts like bleeding, how can this woman be so cruel?Be cruel to him, and be cruel to yourself.

Su Jue recalled the scene back then, and sneered: "Child? Yes, fortunately she found out later that she was pregnant, otherwise she might not be able to go to Myanmar with me."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't understand? When she went to the General's Mansion to assassinate you, she wanted to die, but she was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The doctor told her that she was pregnant. She was once very entangled in whether to keep the child, but in the end she was still not willing to kill it. .”

Guan Lue hugged his face in pain with his hands, but the long and deep scar on his palm was still there. After so many years, he probably would never forget that rainy night in his life.

Tang Jingcheng went to the general's mansion alone, and pointed his knife at him in front of everyone.

She probably also expected that she would definitely not be able to kill him, since she couldn't kill her, then she might as well die in front of him.

At that time, Guan Lue already knew how ruthless this girl was. It would be better to stab him directly than to wipe his neck with the knife he gave her, but who knew that she was already pregnant with his child at that time.

Guan Lue hugged his face and gave a wry smile, making fun of nature.

Su Jue felt that her heart was also tightly suppressed.

The two fell silent for a while, knowing that Guan's slightly deep voice escaped from between his fingers, and asked, "Did she walk away in pain three years ago?"

Su Jue shook her head: "No, she is braver than you think, and she will be like that after some things are figured out. That's why she chose to go to Myanmar to raise a baby. When she left, she was already very calm, really calm, just like... "

Su Jue recalled that Tang Jingcheng sat in the studio and carefully carved the lockplate and keys, and stood at the gate of the Maha Gendeang Monastery in Mandalay to give alms. The monk with the alms bowl smiled sweetly, or folded his hands together, kneeling in front of the gold-leafed Buddha statue and praying for the child.

What was Tang Jingcheng like back then?
"like what?"

"It's like the mountains and clouds, with a gentle appearance and a tough heart." Su Jue always thought that Tang Jingcheng was the most beautiful time at that time, just like her 19-year-old appearance, smiling peacefully, "It's a pity that something happened later gone."

Guan Lue's heart clenched tightly, he had already guessed: "The accident?"

"Accident? Do you think the explosion three years ago was just an accident?" Su Jue asked strangely.

"What do you mean?"

Su Jue breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Mr. Guan really didn't know. Back then, he only said that the explosion in Myanmar was caused by local riots, but in fact it was not like that at all. Tang Tang once mentioned it to me, she said One minute before the explosion, she received a call from a strange local in Myanmar, and the other party was your voice, claiming that she and her child would be killed..."

Guan slightly loosened his grip on the phone, and the phone fell onto the coffee table.

"How is it possible? Impossible!"

"How is that impossible? The sniper was in ambush in the building behind her at that time, about 200 meters away, but fortunately, a local girl from Myanmar happened to save her life." Su Jue took the phone on the coffee table , pointing at the person in the photo, "That's the girl. She happened to be looking for Tang Tang at that time. When the bullet came out, she pushed Tang Tang, so she missed, but pierced through the diesel barrel in the engine room behind her... "

The explosion was imminent. Guan Lue hugged his head again with his hands. Now he can fully imagine the scene at that time, and he can even hear the roar and explosion echoing in his ears.

When Su Jue stated these things, he also had great courage, because it was too painful. Apart from Tang Jingcheng, he almost followed her through life and death during that time.

"The Burmese girl died on the spot in the explosion, because she was about the same size as Tang Tang, and she happened to be pregnant, and she was wearing Tang Tang's watch, so when registering the list of victims, everyone thought it was Tang Tang. , and I happened to be in Myitkyina those two days, and when I got the news and rushed back to Pagan, the scene of the accident was already in ashes, and I only got the watch."

Su Jue almost went crazy when he got the watch from the local military police, but then he thought that the watch should be with Nila, and the local military police only regarded the bombing as an ordinary public riot, so they dealt with the scene hastily , and according to local practice, in order to prevent an epidemic in the storage of corpses, the corpses were transported to the police station for a short registration and then burned.

When Su Jue returned to Hpakant from Myitkyina, except for the watch, he only got a list of victims. On the list, "Tang Jingcheng, Chinese nationality" was clearly written in Burmese.

"After I got the watch, I didn't believe that something happened to Tang Tang, so I arranged for someone to look for it. The only regular hospital in Pagan Town was that one. Many people were injured by the explosion. The hospital was in a mess. I searched around but couldn't find it." .”

The situation at that time can almost be imagined.

The hospital in Pagan Town is small in scale, with outdated facilities, and a serious shortage of medical staff. After the explosion, more than a dozen people were sent to the hospital. Register the injured.

It is normal for Su Jue to not find Tang Jingcheng.

"and after?"

"Later?" Su Jue recalled the scene at that time, many things were vivid in his mind, and he was completely confused at the time, none of the more than ten wounded was Tang Jingcheng, but Tang Jingcheng's name was remembered among the dead, he I started to panic a little while worrying.

"Fortunately, a nurse in the hospital told me that among the wounded who were sent from the blast site, a girl was seriously injured. The hospital then contacted the International Rescue Center and sent her to Myitkyina."

The medical conditions in Myitkyina are relatively better than those in Pagan, and Su Jue rushed back to Myitkyina overnight, but it was still a step late.

"I have a friend who works as Doctors Without Borders in the Myanmar Rescue Center. Through him, I contacted the medical team in Myitkyina, but when I got there, I was told that the person had been sent away because the burns were severely infected. The Myitkyina hospital did not Ability to heal..."

With a simple sentence of "severe burn infection", Guan Lue's fists were clenched together, and his knuckles creaked.

No wonder the face of Shen Chunguang he saw three years later was a little different from three years ago.

"My friend checked for me for a few days, and finally confirmed that the person was in Yangon. I flew there overnight, and the late-night flight arrived at the hospital, but..." Su Jue felt a little overwhelmed in the middle of speaking.

It was probably because the memories were too painful to make him lose control.

Guan Lue's fist clenched even tighter.

"But what?"

Su Jue clasped his hands together on his forehead and shook, "I was almost dying when I arrived in Yangon to see her..."
