Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Chapter 131: Taking shelter from the limelight

On the way home, Zhou Xiaobai was a little tired after holding little Haichen for a long time, and his steps were a little heavy.

After a busy day, her face still showed the tenderness and tenacity that is unique to a mother. Zhong Yuemin beside her looked relaxed. "Wife, give me my son."

"it is good."

Zhong Yuemin let Xiao Shihua ride on his neck and held Xiao Haichen in front of him. They looked like a walking "human circus".

"Yuemin, why did that man's expression just now look so strange?" Zhou Xiaobai finally couldn't help but ask curiously, with a gleam of inquiry in her eyes.

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. "That guy is quite skilled, but his profession... is a little special."

"Is it so special that you have to hide it like this?" Zhou Xiaobai joked. She knew that Zhong Yuemin always had some secrets that he was reluctant to reveal easily.

"Hey, it's actually nothing. It has little to do with ordinary people like us." Zhong Yuemin said lightly, but his tone revealed some deep meaning.

The two continued walking, little Haichen giggling on Zhong Yuemin's shoulder, while little Shihua looked around curiously.

In 1983, Zhong Yuemin sat on an old wooden chair, his thoughts drifting back to the period of severe crackdowns.

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but think of Li Kuiyong's resolute and slightly ruffian face, and he muttered to himself, "I wonder if Li Kuiyong and the others will get into trouble? Doing business nowadays is bound to have some bumps and bumps, but given the current situation, we really have to be careful."

Zhong Yuemin touched the stubble on his chin and decided to let Li Kuiyong and the others stay out of the spotlight for a while after the Chinese New Year.

That day, Zhong Yuemin walked through the bustling streets and came to Li Kuiyong's newly opened store.

The shop's sign is new and eye-catching, showing that Li Kuiyong is no longer the gangster leader who can only swing his fists, but has transformed into a legitimate businessman with a business license.

Zhong Yuemin walked into the store and saw Li Kuiyong busy greeting customers, his face filled with unprecedented confidence and brilliance. When he saw Zhong Yuemin coming in, he hurriedly greeted him. "Yuemin, why are you here? Please take a seat!"

Zhong Yuemin waved his hand, signaling Li Kuiyong to continue with his work, and he found a chair to sit down. He looked around and saw a wide variety of goods on display in the store.

After Li Kuiyong finished his work, he came over and sat down, poured a cup of tea for Zhong Yuemin, and asked, "Yuemin, what are you doing here this time?"

Zhong Yuemin took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Kui Yong, our business is doing well now, and I'm very happy. But you should have noticed, right? The public security is very strict now."

In fact, the crackdown in 83 did not start in 83, but in 82, but it was not as strict as that in 83.

Li Kuiyong nodded, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a trace of worry. He sighed and said, "Yuemin, I know what you mean. In fact, I am also worried about this problem. We did do some irrational things in the past, but now I am trying to change."

Zhong Yuemin patted Li Kuiyong on the shoulder and said, "I know you are working hard, but some things cannot be solved by hard work. Although you have a business license now, the past will still leave traces. I suggest that you go out and hide from the limelight after the New Year."

There was a solemn look on Li Kuiyong's face. He looked up at the sky, and a hint of determination was revealed in his deep eyes.

After a long silence, he finally spoke with a firm voice. "Yuemin, thank you for your reminder. I will consider it. But I will not escape like this. I want to use my actions to prove that I have changed. I will do business more carefully and will not let the past affect the present."

After listening to this, Zhong Yuemin smiled, shook his head, and sighed, "Kui Yong, you are still too naive. Have you heard of this saying?"

Li Kuiyong frowned and asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

"There is a saying that goes 'revenge will come later.'" Zhong Yuemin's voice was low and powerful, as if reminding Li Kuiyong of a cruel reality.

Li Kuiyong's face changed and he was silent for a moment, as if he was digesting the meaning of this sentence.

Zhong Yuemin knew that Li Kuiyong was a man of integrity, but reality is often more cruel than imagined.

Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath and said slowly, "Kui Yong, you have to understand that this world is not as simple as you think. No matter how well a person does, there will definitely be times when he offends others. You have offended people over the years, right? If they report you, they will definitely come after you."

Li Kuiyong's face became solemn again. He knew that Zhong Yuemin was telling the truth. He had indeed offended many people over the years, but he had never thought that he would be held accountable one day.

Li Kuiyong frowned, his eyes revealing a trace of confusion. He turned to look at Zhong Yuemin beside him, with a hint of hesitation in his tone. "Yuemin, where should we go, buddy?"

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a kind of confidence. He reached out and patted Li Kuiyong on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I will definitely arrange it. You can go to the south or the north, we have our own people there. After you go out, you can see and learn. How does the saying go? Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."

Li Kuiyong nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that following Zhong Yuemin would be the right thing to do.

"Then where exactly are we going?" Li Kuiyong asked.

Zhong Yuemin narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about the best solution.

After a while, he spoke slowly. "The climate in the south is warm, suitable for us northerners to live. And it's developing very fast there now, it changes every day, there are many opportunities. In the north, although it's a bit cold, you can see the exotic customs, find a foreign girl to have fun with, life will be so beautiful. It doesn't matter where you go, each has its own merits, it depends on what you want."

"Go to hell, can you be serious?"

"Dude, your wife isn't here, why are you pretending in front of me? A man should live freely."

Li Kuiyong pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said with a firm look, "Then let's go to the south and experience the local customs and practices there."

Zhong Yuemin nodded in agreement. He continued, "Okay, that's it. You should first arrange things here and hand it over to someone you trust. When you come back in two years, you will continue to manage this place."

After hearing this, Li Kuiyong felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that Zhong Yuemin was thinking about him and paving a way out for him. He nodded gratefully. "Okay, I'll listen to you, buddy."

Zhong Yuemin sat in the last row of the classroom, staring at Song Xiangjun on the podium. He couldn't help glancing out the window, his thoughts drifting away with the breeze.

Song Xiangjun was deliberately distancing herself from me, and ever since she came back that time...

Suddenly, the door of the classroom was pushed open, and a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence. Ning Wei walked in anxiously. "Teacher Song, excuse me, I have something important to discuss with Zhong Yuemin."

"Zhong Yuemin, please go out for a moment."

The moment Zhong Yuemin saw Ning Wei, he couldn't help but have an inexplicable premonition in his heart.

He knew Ning Wei's character. If it wasn't for something extremely urgent, he wouldn't come to him at this time. Zhong Yuemin immediately stood up and went to meet Ning Wei.

"Ning Wei, what's wrong? What happened?" There was a hint of nervousness in Zhong Yuemin's voice.

Ning Wei's eyes were filled with anger and grief. He took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty. "Captain, something happened to the family of one of our fallen comrades. His family hasn't received the money you gave them, and someone has died. Even so, the other party still won't let them go. They are simply forcing them to death!"

Zhong Yuemin's face instantly turned livid, and a gleam of anger flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists, as if he wanted to vent all his anger.

Zhong Yuemin knows very well that those comrades who died paid the price of their lives for the country and the people, and their families should be given due respect and care, rather than being bullied and persecuted like this.

"Ning Wei, go find a car and we'll go there now." There was unquestionable firmness in Zhong Yuemin's voice.

Zhong Yuemin knew that at this time, he had to stand up and seek justice for his comrades' families.

Ning Wei nodded, turned around and ran out of the campus. Zhong Yuemin began to arrange the following matters. He knew that this matter would not be easy and he had to be fully prepared.

Zhong Yuemin returned to the classroom and wrote quickly on the paper with the pen in his hand. The handwriting was dense and compact.

Zhong Yuemin wrote several notes, each of which was filled with dense words, as if he was expressing his inner anxiety and uneasiness. The other students in the classroom were busy with their own things, and no one noticed his abnormality.

Liu Minghua noticed that something was wrong with Zhong Yuemin. He turned his head, looked at Zhong Yuemin, and asked curiously, "Zhong Yuemin, what's wrong? You look like you have something on your mind."

Zhong Yuemin raised his head, his eyes revealing a trace of fatigue and anxiety. He tried his best to sound calm. "It's okay, there's just something at home that needs to be dealt with."

Liu Minghua looked at the note full of words written by Zhong Yuemin, and his doubts became even heavier. But he did not continue to ask, but turned back silently and continued his studies.

Zhong Yuemin folded all the notes, stood up, took a deep breath, and then walked to the podium and said to Teacher Song Xiangjun, "Teacher Song, something important happened at home, and I need to go back."

Song Xiangjun raised her head and looked at Zhong Yuemin's anxious and worried face. She immediately noticed that Zhong Yuemin was unusual. She softened her heart and asked in a low voice, "Zhong Yuemin, what happened? Do you need my help?"

Zhong Yuemin thought deeply for a moment and decided that he really needed her help. "Teacher Song, please come out for a moment. I want to tell you something."

Zhong Yuemin and Song Xiangjun came to the corridor outside the classroom. Zhong Yuemin stood in front of the window, looking into the distance, as if he wanted to see farther through the high walls of the campus.

Song Xiangjun stood beside him, her heart full of concern, and asked softly, "Zhong Yuemin, what happened? Can you tell me?"

Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath and turned to face Song Xiangjun, his eyes firm and deep. He took out a few folded notes and handed them to Song Xiangjun. "Teacher Song, if I can't come back tomorrow, please give these notes to my wife Zhou Xiaobai. There are things I want to say to her, and there are some important things she needs to know."

Song Xiangjun took the note and her heart tightened. She looked at Zhong Yuemin's worried face and asked, "What about you? Where are you going now? What happened?"

Zhong Yuemin was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words. He took a deep breath. "Teacher Song, I don't know the details yet, but something did happen. I need to go over and deal with it right away. This note is for you, and you may need my help when the time comes." As he spoke, he took out another note from his pocket and handed it to Song Xiangjun.

Song Xiangjun took the note, her heart full of doubts and worries. She looked at Zhong Yuemin, wanting to ask more questions, but finally chose to remain silent. She knew that everyone had their own secrets and difficulties, and she should respect Zhong Yuemin's choice.

"Then be careful on the road and stay safe." Song Xiangjun said softly, her tone full of concern and worry.

Zhong Yuemin nodded and looked at Song Xiangjun gratefully. "Thank you, Teacher Song. I will. I'll leave first. I'll be back as soon as I'm done with this."

After saying that, Zhong Yuemin turned and walked towards the school gate.

Zhong Yuemin walked quickly to the school gate and saw Ning Wei waiting there, with a jeep parked beside him. The body of the jeep was covered with dust, as if it had just come from a distant countryside.

When Ning Wei saw Zhong Yuemin coming, he immediately went to greet him with a hint of anxiety on his face.

"Captain, we've found the car." Ning Wei said as he opened the door of the jeep.

Zhong Yuemin nodded, and got into the car without saying anything. There were two other people in the car, Xiao Wang and Xiao Liu. They sat in the back seat silently, looking at Zhong Yuemin from time to time.

The car sped away in the dust, but Zhong Yuemin felt extremely heavy. He turned to look at Ning Wei and asked, "Ning Wei, who did you borrow this car from?"

"Li Ting, I had already greeted her when I came to see you, and she had someone send it here." Ning Wei answered straightforwardly.

When Zhong Yuemin heard the name, his brows knitted together. This matter was originally assigned to Li Ting, but she had done it like this. The anger in his heart could not help but burn fiercely.

"Did you tell Li Ting about this? She didn't say anything?" Zhong Yuemin's tone was filled with obvious dissatisfaction and questioning.

Ning Wei glanced at Zhong Yuemin and shook his head helplessly. "I told you, she just found out. She has something else to do now, and she will rush over as soon as she finishes it."

Zhong Yuemin was silent for a while, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He knew that blaming Li Ting now would not help, and the most important thing was to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath and said to Ning Wei, "Okay, I understand. Let's go and deal with the matter first, and then come back to settle the score with Li Ting."

Ning Wei nodded and said nothing more. The car continued to speed on the dusty road, but Zhong Yuemin's heart was full of worry and uneasiness.

Zhong Yuemin knew that this matter might be more difficult than he had imagined, but he was ready to face everything.
