Chapter 21

Cheng Yuan shifted his gaze intentionally or unintentionally, and said earnestly: "Do you know how Pippi's father died? He committed suicide by swallowing a gun! Do you know how Pippi's mother is now? Crazy!" He stabilized Emotions, and continued: "I still remember when we were young, no one cared about us at all, only the eldest sister was taking care of me. I broke my leg when I was naughty, and the eldest sister carried me on the back for three months. Later she got married , With Pippi, I went out with Pippi to mischief, and got into a catastrophe. The eldest sister was reluctant to beat me, but beat Pippi hard. She is crazy now, do you know? She is really crazy. I...I really can't look at her...that kind of desperate eyes. She only smiles when she sees Pippi, do you understand?"

Lida sighed, and said quietly: "I understand..." She thought for a while, then nodded, "I can help him, or forgive him, or even try to forget these things. But you still remember me Did I tell you anything? Pippi is really different from before. I'm afraid that one day, he will hurt you."

"Our Cheng family owes eldest sister too much. This may be my only chance to make up for it... I beg you."

Lida looked at Cheng Yuan with an almost aggrieved look, and covered her mouth to try not to cry.

Cheng Yuan turned his head a little unbearably, he knew that this was really cruel to Lida.

Lida sobbed for a while, as if she had made a major decision, she nodded and said, "Okay! I'll help him, but not because of him, but because of you..." Lida gently opened her arms, hugged Cheng Yuan, and burst into tears. slipped down.She has always thought that she is strong, but in front of Cheng Yuan, she has no resistance, she would rather hide her sadness deeply in her heart, and let Cheng Yuan be happy.

Unscrupulous tears wet Cheng Yuan's shoulders.For the one I love, no amount of heartache is willing.

Lida buried her face in Cheng Yuan's shoulder, choked up and said, "Because of you...because I love you..."

Cheng Yuan moved his hand and held Lida tightly in his arms, so deep...so deep...full of deep guilt.

The night is blurred, as if sad in another world!After all, it is a butterfly that cannot fly the sea, and is destined to suffer from pain!

25．sudden change

In court, Attorney Tan was defending Pipi: "...Next, let the defense witness, Miss Fei Lida, testify in court."

Pippi's throat moved, and he stood there in surprise.When Lida came to meet him, Pippi lowered his head a little ashamed, he didn't know that Lida came out to testify for Cheng Yuan.

After standing still, Lida solemnly said to the judge: "I swear, my confession is absolutely true..."

Pippi looked at Lida with a serious face in shock, feeling very uneasy, feeling uneasy for Lida.

Lida seriously told the judge what happened that night, and Uncle Seven and Second Sister showed expressions of disbelief.

The judge solemnly announced: "In view of the fact that the defendant's confession in the car accident case does not match the testimony of the witnesses, the court has doubts about the defendant's confession in the two accused cases, and the case is now postponed for retrial indefinitely, pending judgment."

The crowd dispersed, Uncle Qi looked at Pippi expressionlessly, Pippi was a little helpless, but there was a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.

Wu Yue waits for Li Kejin's release at the police station.

It is being reported on TV: "The case of hiding drugs in a luxury cabin and the car accident case of Cheng's heir, which have become very popular recently, attracted attention for a while because they involved internal conflicts and family struggles in the Cheng family. Yesterday, the suspects in these two cases appeared in court for trial. The testimony of the witness and the confession of the suspect are contradictory, so the retrial has been postponed indefinitely! The Cheng family used its Queen's lawyer Qin Wensen to defend him. According to analysis, this is also an important factor for the suspect to temporarily escape the case..."

Wu Yue frowned and stared at the TV screen, feeling very nervous.

The policeman came out, and Wu Yue rushed to meet him. The policeman shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Wu, because Pi Xiaonan's lawyer provided new witness testimony in court, so the drug and marijuana case has been postponed indefinitely. Mr. Li Kejin temporarily cannot be released yet."

Wu Yue was dumbfounded, why did she become like this again?When is the head!Wu Yuetou grew up, and walked out of the police station in a daze.

The policemen were talking behind her: "This is the Chinese woman who hangs out with Cheng Yuan, she seems to be dumped now!"

"..."

Connie went up to meet her outside, and said disdainfully to Wu Yue: "The meaning of temporarily dismissing the case and postponing the retrial is very simple. With some tricks, the big case can be turned into a small one! That suspect is the grandson of the Cheng family, and their family definitely doesn't want to watch their grandson go to the gallows!"

Wu Yue was stunned, her expression gradually becoming desperate.

Connie looked at her and asked casually, "By the way, is Mr. Cheng still in touch with you?"

Wu Yue's eyes were blurred, and she slowly shook her head like a walking dead.

Connie asked curiously: "Did he really stay with you just to investigate the case? This person can calculate step by step, and send his own nephew to prison, which can be regarded as the organ's tricks! What? So, tell me about the process, and I’ll help you write it out.”

Wu Yue has been thinking about Li Kejin's affairs, how could she be in the mood to talk about anything else.She looked at Connie blankly, as if she were looking at a stranger.

Connie asked with some fear: "Miss Wu, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Yue shook her head, "No...it's nothing! I'm going to see Li Kejin." After speaking, she walked towards the reception room.

After waiting for a long time, Li Kejin was brought out. As soon as he sat down, he began to cry: "The Cheng family's lawyer suddenly withdrew the case, but the court sent the original lawyer here again. That lawyer must be angry that we changed lawyers halfway. He said he couldn't save me at all, as long as he defended, I would be hanged sooner or later. By the way, last week they beat me back to the original cell, saying that the money paid by Cheng was due. Wu Yue , How did you and Mr. Cheng talk about it, and they just ignored us? Didn’t you have some agreement? "

Wu Yue looked at her boyfriend in despair and suddenly laughed.

Li Kejin stood there stunned: "Wu Yue, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Yue stood up and said excitedly: "Fuck the ghost agreement!" She paused, sat down and said to Li Kejin softly: "You just remember, I love you. Don't worry, if I can't help you, I will help you." Just come in and accompany you! You live, I accompany you to live; you die, I accompany you to die!"

The two held hands tightly together, looked at each other, and burst into tears.

Wu Yue took a deep breath, dragged Li Kejin's hand to stand up, and said, "Kejin, take good care of yourself inside, I... I'm leaving... Wait for me, I'll be back soon..."

Li Kejin stared blankly at her leaving.

Wu Yue went back to the hotel, took out the clothes she bought a few days ago and compared them one by one. After dressing up, she stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself with a wry smile. Carefree, innocent and lovely, just with a hint of melancholy.

Wu Yue left the hotel and walked towards Cheng's mansion.

In the conference room, Cheng Yuan was having a meeting.

A department official said: "We had an informal discussion with the Environmental Protection Agency. They do not agree with the construction of a pharmaceutical factory. This involves the Singaporean side. They are afraid of polluting the seawater, and there is arguing between the two countries."

Uncle Qi said disdainfully: "Without industry and pollution, the Environmental Protection Agency can close its doors. I heard that they have installed a good sewage system. I bought the sewage system from them first, and then applied for a pharmaceutical factory. will pass easily."

“Sewage and reverse osmosis water purification systems are cheaper in China and the U.S.,” another person in charge said.

Uncle Qi said cunningly: "We only pay the down payment to buy government machines, and the rest is borrowed from the government bank. If they don't allow us to open a pharmaceutical factory, we will return the goods. They will definitely not. They will actively help us operate the pharmaceutical factory. Yes. Once the pharmaceutical factory applies for it, it will immediately get a loan and pay back the money for the machine. Learn to tie the government with us, so that everything will be easy to handle!" He laughed after speaking, quite proud of himself.

Cheng Yuan turned his head in annoyance and ignored it. At this moment, the phone rang and Cheng Yuan answered it with a look of surprise on his face.He signaled to continue the meeting, walked out by himself, and said to the phone: "Wu Yue, where are you?"

Lida silently watched Cheng Yuan go away, her expression seemed to be disappointed, and even more uneasy.

"Okay! You wait for me there, I'll be right over." Cheng Yuan hung up the phone and walked out of the group building.

Wu Yue stood at the entrance of the villa with a new look, holding up the mobile phone Cheng Yuan gave her, looking in happily, "This is your home, I found it with my mobile phone navigation. I have never been to this place except for the reception that day." The big villa area, can you show me around it?"

Cheng Yuan glanced at Wu Yue and felt that she was acting weird today, so he smiled and said, "Okay, come with me!"

Wu Yue ran wildly like a child in the garden of the villa, looking youthful and cute, but vaguely revealed bitterness and hatred that were not easy to detect.She said happily: "It's so big, so your house is so big, and there are only a few people in your family, so you can live here!"

Cheng Yuan was amused by her, and teased, "How about it, do you want to come and live here?"

Wu Yue stopped smiling suddenly, and asked casually, "Which building is your home?"

Cheng Yuan pointed to a building with a smile and said, "You have been there before!"

The two walked to Chengyuan's villa together.Wu Yue ran up laughing all the way, and the villa was full of crisp laughter, "Wow, it's so beautiful, every room is so big! Rich people are different."

The two walked to the door of the office where they met for the first time. Wu Yue looked at it and said, "This place really looks familiar... Well, it's here!"

Cheng Yuan asked suspiciously: "What is here?"

Wu Yue didn't speak, but smiled and waved to him, and Cheng Yuan walked over.Wu Yue suddenly showed a fruit knife and touched Cheng Yuan's neck.Cheng Yuan was caught off guard and was pushed against the wall by Wu Yue.

Wu Yue changed her appearance just now, and said in a vicious and joking tone: "Where are your followers? Don't think that you are safe if your nephew is in jail, you are too vigilant! Mr. Cheng!"

"Wu Yue, what are you doing? Put the knife away quickly, you will hurt people like this! Don't be kidding."

Wu Yue lowered her face and said bitterly: "Killing people to pay for their lives and debts to pay back money is a matter of course. Have you heard of this?"

"Don't mess around, put down the knife!" Cheng Yuan felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, and there were bursts of pain as the knife cut his flesh.

Wu Yue sneered and said, "Put it down? I don't have a gun, I don't have money, I don't have power, I don't have status. You, Mr. Cheng, have everything, but I don't have any! Put down the knife, why am I so angry today?" The knife left a blood mark on Cheng Yuan's neck, Cheng Yuan cried out in pain, he held back the pain and asked, "Did something happen to Li Kejin?"

Wu Yue said angrily: "Shut up, don't mention Li Kejin's name again. Don't think that you are great because you have a few filthy money. At best, you are just a clown, a clown who hides in a dark corner and plays tricks!"

Cheng Yuan stared at Wu Yue and said loudly, "Don't forget that we have an agreement!"

The knife went in for a few more minutes, and Cheng Yuan closed his eyes in pain.Wu Yue said bitterly: "Shut up, don't brazenly mention any agreement! When you withdrew the lawyer, when you cleared your nephew, did you think about your agreement? When you kidnapped me , when you insulted me, did you think about an agreement? I know I'm stupid, easy to trust others, easy to be deceived, but I'm not a person without self-esteem and brains. If it wasn't for being implicated by you, how could Li Kejin and I be together? We are here today? We are here to travel, not to die! It is you who have made our life what it is now, and you are the one who made us die without a home!... These are all you Damn..." The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and she lost control of her emotions.

Lida sat in the conference room for a while, and felt something was wrong, and she couldn't tell what was wrong, it must be her sixth sense anyway!Before the meeting was over, she left.She came outside Cheng Yuan's villa, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, saw Cheng Yuan being pushed against the wall by Wu Yue with a knife, she panicked all of a sudden, quickly called a few bodyguards, and ran in with them.

Wu Yuezheng shouted hoarsely: "I have already seen clearly, you are not a rich businessman or entrepreneur at all, your Cheng family is a hooligan and a gangster!"

Cheng Yuan said in a calm tone: "Wu Yue, put down the knife. I admit that this case is too complicated to explain clearly in a few sentences. I can only say to you now: I promise you, I will do it .I know you must be very uncomfortable and unhappy in your heart now, if doing this can make you happier, okay! Then come on!"

Wu Yue was a little loose, and the bodyguards who were waiting for the opportunity came up together and pinned Wu Yue to the ground.

Wu Yue shouted hysterically: "You liar, you rascal! You think I'm afraid of you if you do this, don't you? Let me tell you Cheng Yuan, I, Wu Yue, am not afraid of death now! You fucking wait for me , Li Kejin and I will not let you go if we are a ghost!"

Cheng Yuan touched the injured neck, pushed the bodyguard away and said, "Let her go!"

The bodyguard hesitated: "Mr. Cheng..."

Cheng Yuan said coldly: "I said let her go."

The bodyguard let go of Wu Yue, and Cheng Yuan stepped forward to help Wu Yue up.

Wu Yue's hand was scratched and was bleeding.Cheng Yuan took out a handkerchief to wrap it around her, and said sternly, "You idiot! You don't even know you're bleeding."

Standing beside them, Lida watched Cheng Yuan gently bandage Wu Yue, her heart was pierced by a knife for a moment, and she was at a loss.

Cheng Yuan said sincerely: "Wu Yue, we don't know each other. I have been with Jinchan Island for more than half a month, and I have already regarded you as a friend. I know I am not a good person, but I am not as bad as you say You are also an adult, you should learn to use your brain to think about problems. You are clear about the situation you and Li Kejin are in now. If you continue to fight like this, it will not help. Pippi's case was decided by the court, and none of us can influence the law. Besides, now that Li Kejin's life is not in danger, I also promise you that I will keep the agreement. What else do you want from me?"

Wu Yue shook off Cheng Yuan's hand, held back the tears that were about to flow, and said through gritted teeth: "I came here to get back my breath, and the half month I spent with you was the greatest shame in my life! I didn't come here to ask for any promises, because you don't deserve it! I never want to see you again!" Wu Yue covered her face and got up, and ran away.

Cheng Yuan stood there in a daze, at that moment, time seemed to stand still, and Wu Yue's words kept echoing in his ears, "...the half month I spent with you was the greatest shame in my life... I never want to see you again you……"

Cheng Yuan regained his composure and wanted to chase him away, but Lida grabbed him and said quietly: "Stop chasing him, she is in a fit of anger, let's talk about it when she calms down!"

Cheng Yuan thumped the sofa in frustration, and sat down dejectedly.Lida sat down beside him, pressed his hand, and stayed silent with him.

Wu Yue's hands were wrapped in gauze, holding a big backpack, sitting alone in front of the French windows of the police station, with a blank expression on her face.

The street outside was empty, with occasional police lights flashing, and the bright fluorescent lights in the room made her face pale and desolate, with no blood left.

A policeman came, and Wu Yue followed her into the guard room. There were a few drug addicts, smoking cigarettes and talking in a low voice, and a few women were sitting on a row of chairs, looking at Wu Yue maliciously.

Wu Yue hugged her shoulders, found a corner, and sat on the ground against the wall, as if these people didn't exist at all.She curled up in the corner, suddenly smiled nervously, and said to herself: "I'm home, it's time to come here!" She lay on her arms, slowly closed her eyes, and a line of tears fell down .

26．nowhere to go

Lida came in, put a newspaper on Cheng Yuan's desk, with a serious face, "Look at it!"
