Gentlemen's Friends

Chapter 34 Part [-]: Finale
It took Ren Ningyuan a little longer than expected to reach Zhuang Wei's apartment. In the face of the rainy traffic conditions, no one has the privilege to speak of.

The doorbell was pressed for a long time but there was no response. When the landlord was called to open the door, the room was completely dark.

Qu Tongqiu is no longer there.

They didn't find him again. When the three of them faced each other in the room, apart from the unspeakable embarrassment, they all had their own subtle emotions.

Zhuang Wei said bluntly: "He could have lived until next month."

"Actually, there is not much difference. It is not the same to leave early or late. Don't worry too much about it. He has a wallet on him. As long as he has money and documents, there will be no problem. Even if he is hit, he will not As for not being able to live, he will take care of himself at such an old age. Besides, he didn't bring any clothes and luggage, so he might be back in a few days."

Ren Ningyuan didn't show any expression, and just said: "I have already reported the crime, and people have been looking for it for the past two days. There will be news soon."

Zhuang Wei looked up at him: "Ning Yuan, can you let him rest? He can't face you at all, and it's not like you don't know. You've already driven him away from here, do you have to force him to We can’t stop until we can’t find it?”

Ren Ningyuan still said calmly: "There is nowhere to be found. As long as he is still in this city, I can find him even if he is hiding underground."

Zhuang Wei stood up: "What do you want to do to him? What does he owe you? Do you have to force him like this?"

Ren Ningyuan didn't answer, the phone rang in his pocket.He took it out and looked at it. When he connected, his expression became somewhat relaxed: "Hello. Any news?"

In fact, they all read the news in the newspaper.

Days of rain have greatly affected the road conditions, coupled with the drop in temperature, the road suddenly froze.A series of car accidents happened late at night on the expressway out of the city, and many people were seriously injured.

One of the taxis was hit from behind by a heavy truck and nearly crushed under the wheels.Fortunately, the driver was rescued and the passenger in the back seat died on the spot. Under the huge impact and heavy pressure, he was miserable and beyond recognition.

They read the newspaper while drinking coffee at breakfast time, and they all saw the photo of the accident scene that was published.But it was just a sigh.

But to identify the corpse as relatives and friends of the deceased, the tragedy that seemed distant and light through a thin newspaper suddenly magnified and approached them, making them a little stiff for a while.

"These are the belongings of the deceased."

Remnants of clothing, watches and wallets are all familiar, old ID cards, a small amount of cash... and a check that is stained red.

On it is Zhuang Wei's own signature.He even remembered the mood when he wrote down that number.

The three of them didn't speak, and even their breathing was a little stiff in the silence. Once they opened their mouths, the frozen calm would be broken.

The staff opened the freezer, but the other two people remained still. Chu Mo only took a look inside, then turned pale, and hurriedly turned his head away.

Zhuang Wei stared with red eyes, and gradually gritted his teeth.

"We forced him away," he hated himself for being shaken, and turned to Ren Ningyuan in pain, "You forced him to stay here, you are the most fucking capable, you can make T city Turn it over, don't even give him a place to hide, are you satisfied now?!"

Ren Ningyuan didn't speak or express any expression. Looking at the man lying inside, there was no fluctuation on his face, but he seemed to have aged instantly.

"No, not him."

"Yes, it's not him, you have no fucking responsibility at all, it has nothing to do with you, okay?! You don't need to feel guilty, and you don't need to have a bad conscience, just treat him as having a good time somewhere Let's live, then can you please get out now?!"

Ren Ningyuan still didn't have any expressions or movements, he just looked down at the tortured dead man in a frozen frame.

Zhuang Wei lost control more and more: "Are you fucking lying to yourself?! Do you still want to shirk responsibility? How long are you going to pretend? Ha! Are you relaxed now? You don't need to make up for it, take your daughter and live a good life !"

Chu Mo supported him: "Zhuang Wei, don't do this! He is very sad!"

"What's wrong with him? He's just a dead dog! He's used up everything he can use, and now there's no need to make up for it, and he's too late to be happy! Qu Tongqiu followed him only because he was blind, and regarded him as a god." ! Bastard, don't even leave a way to survive..."

"Zhuang Wei..."

It took Ren Ningyuan a long time to raise his head and look at Zhuang Wei: "Did you treat him kindly when you were with him?"

Not a question, just an inquiry.

Zhuang Wei gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, unable to answer, he said after a long time, "That's right, I'm a bastard too!"

Ren Ningyuan looked at the quiet broken man again, staring at it, as if he was just asleep, and then asked softly: "Did he not have time to feel the pain?"

"..."

"That's fine."

That might be the most relaxing moment in his life.

He is such a small person who is trembling but has been played with repeatedly, and there may be no reason to continue to exist. Everything he can use has been taken away.

They still bought him a piece of land in the cemetery, so that he could finally have a better rest.

At the end, they didn't know what to write for him on the epitaph, so everyone was silent.This person really doesn't get much praise because he has never been successful, his idols are fake, his friends are fake, his lover is fake, and his daughter is fake.

But he should have a better epitaph, after all, each of them more or less got what they needed from him.He was useless and useless, but at least he didn't let any of them down.

In the end, Ren Ningyuan wrote it for him.

"It's been a long, good life."

Before he was alive, he owed him a beautiful lie with a beginning and an end.

He should also be replenished after death.

After the funeral, everything returned to normal.

Even in grief, without him, they are still them, and life is still life.

He is so small.Almost no trace was left.

It's as if it never existed.
