Chapter 20

Cheng Yuan and Detective Li found the prosecutor and told him the clue.The prosecutor said appreciatively: "Mr. Cheng, you are braver than I imagined, don't worry! We will find out the truth as soon as possible."

Cheng Yuan looked at the prosecutor gratefully and said thank you.Then he left in a hurry, and now he is being watched, and there are some places where it is not suitable to stay for a long time.

On the side of the road in the suburbs, there is a cliff by the sea. The gloomy weather makes people feel a little depressing.Seventh Uncle got out of the car with a gloomy face and looked at the sea.A car slowly drove up from the opposite side and stopped beside Uncle Qi.

The car window was rolled down, and a vague figure said in a deep voice: "The marijuana case is in trouble. We all underestimated this little guy. He found the Secretary of State as his savior, and also moved out the Chinese detective. It is possible , that car accident can't be suppressed!"

Uncle Qi closed his eyes, his face was ashen, and he said in a low voice, "I see!"

The windows rolled up and the car drove away quickly.Seventh Uncle walked slowly to the beach, staring at the sea, his face became more and more gloomy, and now, he can only find a scapegoat.

When the news came out, Cheng Yuan hadn't returned to Jinchan Island. He was sitting opposite the prosecutor, and both of them were watching the TV screen on the side of the room, which showed footage of the police dispatching.

It explained: "...the police acted overnight and arrested the ticket seller of the passenger ship involved in the case. He confessed to the alleged crime and confessed to the instigator behind the scenes..."

The shot of Pippi being taken into a police car at the entrance of the company jumped onto the screen.

Narrator: "...he is Pi Xiaonan, currently the person in charge of the security department of the Cheng Corporation, and the grandson of the late Chairman of the Cheng Corporation, Mr. Cheng Ren..."

Cheng Yuan was in disbelief: "Pippi?"

The prosecutor turned around and said: "Mr. Cheng, there is one more thing to tell you. During the overnight interrogation of Pippi, he not only confessed the drug hiding case, but also confessed another case related to you!"

Cheng Yuan was shocked again, "What else is he involved in?"

"On the night we met, he was the one who drove the car himself and caused a car accident, which nearly killed you under the car!"

The scene of being hit that night jumped into his mind like lightning and flint, Cheng Yuan couldn't imagine the fierce look of Pippi when he drove into him, this was his own nephew!Family love is illusory in Jinchan Island, and it will always smash you to pieces when you don't pay attention.Cheng Yuan closed his eyes in pain, unwilling to think about anything.He really wanted to leave Jinchan Island, the farther the better, he couldn't stand the mutual destruction between his relatives, nothing was more cruel than this.

But can he really leave?
twenty four.heavy tangled

Cheng Yuan sat exhausted and haggard in the speedboat, feeling extremely complicated and chaotic.The truth was revealed, but he felt very heavy and tangled.Even he himself didn't want to admit that this was the result he wanted.

Seventh Uncle smiled and led people to wait on the pier for his return.Cheng Yuan walked towards Uncle Qi silently without saying anything. Uncle Qi patted him on the shoulder and said appreciatively, "Good job! He has strategy and courage, just like the men of our Cheng family."

Cheng Yuan's eyes were deep and confused, he raised his head and said, "I want to see Eldest Sister..."

The second sister was combing the eldest sister's hair, gently and slowly, as if she was afraid of hurting her, "Elder sister, Pippi has gone away for a while and can't come back for a while. Move over and live with me, okay?"

The elder sister was expressionless and looked into the distance blankly.

While combing, the second sister said, "Sister, your villa is too far away from mine, so it's decided so that I can take care of you!"

The elder sister suddenly said, "Pippi, Pippi is dead!"

The second sister was terrified, hugged the eldest sister from behind, and comforted: "Elder sister, what are you talking about?"

The eldest sister suddenly sneered and said, "I've already seen that Pippi is with his father. And Mom, Mom is calling them, calling them!"

The eldest sister stood up abruptly, threw away the second sister, frantically brushed her combed hair away, and shouted hysterically, "Blood, it's full of blood...I want Pippi, don't take Pippi away..."

The second sister hugged her, and the eldest sister burst into tears in her arms.

Cheng Yuan, who had just entered the door, saw this scene and stood there silently, feeling very uncomfortable.He glanced at his elder sister, turned and left, and came to the seaside alone. He recalled playing sand-pile games with Lida and Pippi when he was a child, but now things have changed and things have changed.

The second sister came to him and looked at him silently.

Cheng Yuan recalled blankly: "I saw Pippi. He was playing over there, and he followed my buttocks, calling me daddy and Lida's mother! Lida once told me to beware of him, but I didn't care about him at all. Unexpectedly, he actually wanted to put me to death..."

The second sister said: "You really shouldn't report on Pippi, no matter what, he is your own nephew!"

Cheng Yuan said in a low voice: "The problem is, I never thought it would be him."

"The Cheng family has an unwritten rule. If a family member commits a crime, it will be resolved within the family! This is also the way the family maintains its reputation!" The second sister was a little excited.

Cheng Yuan looked directly at the second sister and said, "So father drove the eldest brother-in-law to death and drove the eldest sister crazy, right?"

The second sister was startled and said, "How did you know?"

"It's just speculation. I know, you won't tell me the truth. The sense of family honor you mentioned reminds me of my grandfather or great-grandfather's time, and now, this feeling is slowly surrounding me, When I found the truth, I felt a strong sense of guilt. Therefore, I would rather live in an ordinary family, where I can be with my family, friends, and loved ones every day, and be so happy every day. Happy, how happy!" Cheng Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head, immersed in his longing.

The second sister didn't know what to say. What Cheng Yuan said was also what she yearned for. Could it be that living in the Cheng family was only a yearning for those things?She was deeply touched, and suddenly thought of a lot, and tears flowed down unconsciously...

During the meal, Yuna sat on Cheng Yuan's lap and said innocently to Cheng Yuan: "Uncle, aunt has moved into our house. She said, Brother Pippi is gone! Do you know where Brother Pippi has gone? ?"

The second sister quickly scolded: "Yuna, don't bother uncle, come down to mom!"

Uncle Qi sighed and said, "Let's let the past go. A Yuan has found the truth he wanted, and everyone's knots have been relieved. From now on, we Cheng family will have to work together to move forward! A Yuan, come to the company to work tomorrow!"

Cheng Yuan didn't answer Seventh Uncle's words, but said: "I want to spend more time with Eldest Sister, I always feel sorry for her!"

Uncle Qi comforted: "A Yuan, you don't have to be too sad, no matter what Pippi said, he is a foreigner after all, he put the revenge of his father's suicide on our Cheng family's account, that's why he made a mistake. Eternal hatred!"

The second sister turned her head, disgusted by what Uncle Qi said.

Cheng Yuan said, "Let's ask Lawyer Qin to serve as Pippi's defense lawyer."

Uncle Qi suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, A Yuan, I forgot to tell you something. In order not to damage the company's reputation, I withdrew Lawyer Qin from the cannabis case! At that time, I didn't know This marijuana case is related to you, Uncle Qi has to say sorry to you today!"

Cheng Yuan stood up abruptly as if waking up from a dream. What's worse, Wu Yue was still tied up in the hotel by himself.Cheng Yuan didn't even bother to eat, and drove towards the hotel.For two days and one night, Wu Yue was tied up like this, not eating or drinking, Cheng Yuan was afraid when he thought about it.The sports car roared, and Cheng Yuan involuntarily stepped on the accelerator.

Cheng Yuan ran across the lobby, stopped in front of the elevator, and pressed the elevator anxiously. The elevator couldn't wait for a long time. Cheng Yuan was so anxious that he ran up the stairs desperately. He opened the door in fear and walked in holding his breath. The bed was already tidy. Clean, Wu Yue is not on the bed!Cheng Yuan took a deep breath, felt something strange behind him, turned around and saw Wu Yue sitting silently on the sofa, with only half of her head exposed.

Cheng Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief, seeing that Wu Yue was fine, he finally let go of his heart.

Wu Yue didn't look at Cheng Yuan, and said calmly: "I'm fine, the maid who cleaned the room untied me. From yesterday to today, two days and one night, I haven't left, I just want to wait for you here, Then say thank you!"

Cheng Yuan asked back: "Thank you?"

Wu Yue said quietly: "I watched TV, the criminal was arrested, Ke Jin was saved, so thank you!"

Cheng Yuan said anxiously: "I kidnapped you, why didn't you call the police?"

"I'm keeping our agreement! You fulfilled your promise and saved Ke Jin; I want to fulfill my promise!"

Seeing Wu Yue's stupid look, Cheng Yuan couldn't help laughing: "Fool!" Only in front of this innocent girl, Cheng Yuan would feel a little relaxed, and it was this simplicity that made him feel very happy.

Wu Yue also laughed embarrassedly, and the two sat and smirked at each other, so that Cheng Yuan didn't feel the phone ringing.

Wu Yue reminded: "Hello! Call!"

Cheng Yuan opened it and saw that it was Lida.

Lida was standing by the sea, her hair was blown wildly by the sea breeze, she said to the phone, "Pipi didn't do it."

"What? I can't hear what you're saying clearly." Cheng Yuan only heard the whistling sea breeze.

Lida emphasized her tone and repeated loudly: "I said, it wasn't Pipi who did it!"

This sentence came out from the mobile phone, Cheng Yuan and Wu Yue were startled and looked at each other.

Cheng Yuan said to Lida: "Where are you? I'll be there right away." He hung up the phone and comforted Wu Yue: "Don't worry, your boyfriend will come out soon, take good care of yourself, Li Kejin doesn't want to Come out and see that you have lost weight."

Wu Yue blankly watched Cheng Yuan leave the room.

Cheng Yuan and Lida stood side by side on the beach, and the sea looked deep and mysterious in front of them.

Lida straightened her wind-blown hair, and said slowly: "I'll tell you a story, maybe you don't want to listen to it, and I don't want to tell it, but I must tell you..." She blushed, and suddenly became a little cautious: "I have liked you very much since I was very young, really! So our marriage is an open secret to the Cheng family and the Fei family. But one day , I suddenly heard that you were in a car accident and said that you were dead. I was so stupid that I didn't want to talk for a long time. I don't go to school, I don't go home, I sit on this beach by myself Playing house, I was waiting for you to come back. At that time, you were buried with your mother on Golden Toad Island. At first, the adults thought I was sick and sent me to Kuala Lumpur. The doctor told them that I could hardly sleep. I am reading your name. Therefore, my father and I are the first to know that you are still alive. In order to cure my heart disease, Uncle Cheng took me to his office and solemnly showed me the picture of your home in the United States. Photo, he said you will come back when you grow up, come back and play with me..."

Cheng Yuan looked at Lida, and when he heard her say such words to himself, he became uneasy, but he was speechless and could only listen to Lida quietly.

"Perhaps, in the minds of adults, children's feelings are insignificant. This matter is in the past. Only when Uncle Cheng, Dad and I are together, they will use this matter to make fun of me, saying Waiting for me to grow up and marry into the Cheng family. When I really grew up, I entered the rebellious period. Finally, one day, I solemnly proposed to them: Don’t compare me with Cheng Yuan anymore, because I already have a man. Friends..." Lida looked towards the distance of the sea, and her dusty memories were opened, but she found that many of them were so helpless. After going through sadness, what greeted her was still sadness.

Lida smiled wryly and continued: "Uncle Cheng respects me very much. He never brought up this joke again. For this reason, my father went to the university to find out who my boyfriend is. They can't guess, what I said Boyfriends are actually by their side!"

Cheng Yuan was shocked and said, "It's... Pippi?"

Lida didn't look at Cheng Yuan, and still said to herself: "On this island, no one can share the past with me, share memories about you. You are in the distant America, and your image is blurred like a distant And Pippi is by my side! He plays with me, makes me happy, helps me fight, he coaxes me like a proud princess! But I don’t know, a dream also started in his heart, This dream has been going on for more than ten years. Our so-called love is just a game and a dream in adolescence. My dream has long since woken up, but I didn't expect that his dream has never woken up!"

"You mean..." Cheng Yuan asked puzzled.Hearing Lida's narration, he felt inexplicably depressed, even a little uneasy, so he had to change the topic a little to cover it up.

"On the night of your accident, to be precise, at the time of your accident, Pippi would never have appeared at the scene of the car accident, he was by my side!"

Cheng Yuan was surprised: "What? Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Lida turned around, tears streaming down her face, "Because of fear..." She wiped away her tears and said after a long time, "At that time...he tried to rape me!"

Cheng Yuan took a breath, looked up at the sky and said nothing, these things became complicated and confusing.

Sitting in the interview room, Cheng Yuan forced a smile, and asked Pippi who was sitting opposite: "Pippi, are you okay?"

Pippi sneered, "What do you think?"

"Why did you refuse lawyer Qin to defend you?"

"No reason!"

"Why plead guilty?"

"Didn't you find out everything?" Pippi sneered.

Cheng Yuan said in a deep voice, "Lida has already told me!"

Pippi was taken aback, and pretended to be calm: "What did she say? How did she tell you?"

Cheng Yuan stared into Pippi's eyes and said, "You were together on the day of the car accident."

Pippi laughed and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. You know Lida's character. She has sympathized with the weak since she was a child, and she is pitying me!"

"A girl, a girl of noble birth, will not use the way of trampling her own reputation to defend a man who is determined to go to jail. Unless, it is true."

"Let me tell you again, it's not true." Pippi's tone became frivolous, and he continued: "Girls like Lida abound, I don't like her at all, if you like her, take it away .”

Cheng Yuan was furious, stood up suddenly, and slapped him.Pippi didn't expect Cheng Yuan to do this, and couldn't hide, she was slapped hard, and stared at Cheng Yuan with hatred, her eyes burst into flames.

The policeman stepped forward to stop him and said: "Mr. Cheng, your current mood is not suitable for visiting, we have to take the suspect back!" Taking Pippi was about to leave, Pippi walked to the door in silence, suddenly turned around and shouted: "Call me!" She come out, come out and testify to me that I didn't hit you, that I was forcing her to be with me! If she dares to admit it, she will never want to be with you, let her testify, come on !"

Cheng Yuan got up to step over the table to beat Pippi, but was stopped by the police in time. He sat restlessly on a chair, very annoyed.

In the night wind, Lida slowly approached Cheng Yuan who was in deep thought, "Have you seen him?" Lida asked faintly.

Cheng Yuan turned around and saw Lida hugging him, the sea breeze at night was very cool.Cheng Yuan took off his coat and carefully put it on for Lida. Lida felt a warm feeling in her heart.Even a gentle gesture by this man who made her wait for many years will stir up ripples in her heart. She really hopes to be cared for by him forever.

Cheng Yuan dressed Lida and said softly behind him: "I hope you can testify in court and help me rescue Pippi."

Lida trembled slightly, she knew what it meant to testify in court.Lida turned around and looked at Cheng Yuan like that, as if she wanted to see through him. "Do you really think so? Do you know what he did to me?" It took Lida a long time to say these two words.In fact, Pippi didn't do anything to her that night.The reason why she said that was just to see Cheng Yuan's reaction.
