Siheyuan: Starting from 1952

Mother Wu was silent.

She finally understands.

Today, Chen Xingyao came to see me, not really to take a walk with me to deepen their relationship, but to question me.

As for the question raised by Chen Xingyao, Wu's mother didn't know how to answer.

Do you hate Lu Juemin?

Do you want to kill Lu Juemin?

Maybe it is.

At least... the idea is there.

But this is just an idea.

Mother Wu couldn't help but deny it: "Xingyao, I really didn't... Even if I hate your brother and want him to die, my feelings for you are real. You are my daughter, and you were also in the hospital at the time. I can't possibly kill you just to kill your brother!"

"But I only told you about my sister-in-law going to that hospital to give birth!" Chen Xingyao shouted, "You have been so close to me these days, isn't it just to get this kind of information from me and then attack my brother?"

"I……"

Mother Wu fell silent again.

did not expect……

I didn't expect that my desire to build a relationship with my daughter would be misunderstood in this way.

For a while.

Infinite sadness rose in her chest.

How did things... become like this?

Tears slowly flowed from the corners of Wu's mother's eyes.

Chen Xingyao remained unmoved and continued, "Besides, you came to see me so frequently before the explosion, but after the explosion, you disappeared without a trace and never came again. Why? Isn't this a sign of something wrong?"

"No, Xingyao!" Mother Wu cried out, "I didn't come to see you these past few days because... because..."

As she was talking, Wu's mother's eyes suddenly opened, "Xingyao... I understand... I know what's going on..."

"What's going on?"

"If what you said is true, then the hospital bombing was probably caused by your father."

"Haha!" Chen Xingyao sneered, "Whether it's him or you, does it make any difference?"

"Yes! Of course there is a difference!" Mother Wu said quickly: "Xingyao, I don't want to say that I am a good person, but I just want to tell you one thing, I didn't use the information I got from you to harm your brother, it's just...it's just that your father...he would ask me about you and your brother from time to time...I didn't think much about it at the time, so I told him..."

"I really didn't know... I didn't know he would use this information... to harm your brother..."

Hear this.

Chen Xingyao's heart finally showed a little bit of movement.

A wave of joy.

But she didn't show it right away.

She continued coldly: "You should clean yourself up."

"I don't have any other intentions! Xingyao, believe me, I really don't have any other intentions! As I just said, no matter how much I hate your brother, I will never hurt you just to get revenge on him!"

"You are my daughter! If I hurt you, what is the difference between me and a beast?"

"Xingyao, I know. I have always known that I owe you too much over the years. Since your brother died, the only thing I want to do is to make up for what I owe you."

"So...so how could I possibly do that..."

Chen Xingyao's eyes turned red. "This matter really has nothing to do with you? You really didn't intentionally tell him what I told you?"

"I really... didn't..." Mother Wu slowly closed her eyes.

"Okay, I'll believe you for now!" Chen Xingyao took a deep breath, "Then what do you think of him? It's clear that he did it!"

"Your father..." Mother Wu lowered her head, "I don't know how I should look at him... Ever since Dongxu died, he has become even more crazy..."

"You don't know how to look at him?" Chen Xingyao said angrily, "Do you know that he has killed no less than ten innocent people? You don't even know how to look at him? For a person like him, shouldn't he be eliminated as soon as possible?"

"But...but he is the person I have lived with for decades...and...and he just wants to avenge Dongxu..."

"Haha! So what?" Chen Xingyao rolled her eyes. "By doing this, you are shielding a criminal!"

"As for the reason you gave, it's even more ridiculous!"

"Don't forget, the reason why Jia Dongxu died was all because of Wu Zhongtian!"

"I told you before that if Wu Zhongtian listened to me and tried to stop Wu Dongxu, would Wu Dongxu do something so outrageous and criminal?"

"Now they are using the excuse of revenge for Wu Dongxu. What? Those innocent people died in the explosion. Did they deserve it?"

"People like Wu Zhongtian should be severely punished by the law! They should go to the eighteenth level of hell!"

"Xingyao!" Wu's mother cried, "He is your father, how can you say such things?"

"I don't have such a scumbag father!" Chen Xingyao said, "I just want him to be brought to justice and die quickly!"

"And I have to remind you that the police can think of what I can think of, and soon they will find out that it is Wu Zhongtian. If you still speak up for Wu Zhongtian, you will be an accomplice!"

"No! That's not the case!" Mother Wu shook her head violently, "I still don't quite believe it... I believe he did it..."

"hehe!"

Chen Xingyao was a little desperate, "Okay, I know what you mean!"

"If you don't believe me, you can go back and talk to Wu Zhongtian. You are doing underground work, so you should have this ability, right?"

"Also, let me say one last thing!" Chen Xingyao was silent for a moment, then called out, "Mom! I'm calling you mom now, and I just want to beg you to wake up a little!"

“I really can’t be stubborn anymore!!!”

"..."

……

Mother Wu returned home feeling lost.

All that filled his mind were the last words that Chen Xingyao said to him.

Or to be more precise.

This is what Chen Xingyao calls herself.

Ever since she met Chen Xingyao, she has rarely called herself by this name.

Every sound.

They are all precious to her.

"It would be great if Xingyao could always call me mom..."

Mother Wu couldn't help but start fantasizing.

While she was fantasizing, a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.

And it was at this time that Wu Zhongtian came back.

After returning home, Wu Zhongtian glanced at his mother who was sitting on the sofa, and then asked, "Is there something happy? You are smiling so happily..."

"There is indeed something to be happy about." Mother Wu laughed, "Old Wu, do you know? Lu Juemin died in the hospital bombing not long ago. Isn't that a coincidence?"

"what?"

Wu Zhongtian couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and asked quickly: "Where did you get this information?"

"Where else could it have come from? Of course I heard it from our daughter!"

"Is it……"

Wu Zhongtian narrowed his eyes, his gaze full of doubt.

It has been five or six days since the explosion.

These five or six days.

He has been asking his connections to find out what's going on.

And based on what he knew.

Lu Juemin had nothing to do at all.

But how come in Wu's mother's mouth, Lu Juemin was already dead?

No! I have to investigate this matter myself. Even if Lu Juemin is really dead, I have to see his body before it counts!

Wu Zhongtian was thinking silently in his mind.

Seeing Wu Zhongtian like this, Wu's mother couldn't help but feel a little upset, and quickly asked again: "What's wrong, Old Wu, the person who killed our son is dead now, shouldn't you be happy?"

"Glad... I'm happy... Of course I'm happy..."

Wu Zhongtian responded perfunctorily.

"I'm happy. I should be happy..." Mother Wu forced a smile. "Now that Lu Juemin is dead, it can be considered revenge for our son, right?"

"of course."

Wu Zhongtian curled his lips, "But if he really died like this, it would be a bit too easy for him."

"Being blown to pieces by a bomb is not cheap." Wu's mother took a deep breath. "By the way, Old Wu, where were you on the day of the hospital bombing?"

"What do you mean where am I? Where else can I be besides going to work?" Wu Zhongtian scolded, "Why are you asking me this?"

"Just asking..."

Mother Wu responded with a nod.

okay.

No need to ask any more questions.

This was done by Wu Zhongtian.

There is no need to have any more doubts.

This question was like stepping on his tail.

If not for him.

Why would he have such a big reaction?

Mother Wu only felt a pain in her chest, as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing on her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.

This is what I should do...

For a while.

She has no idea...

……

The investigation is ongoing.

Originally, the investigation team wanted to obtain evidence of Wu Zhongtian's crime by investigating the source of the explosives.

But the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.

The investigation team searched the entire city but found no information about the explosives in the hospital explosion.

This is not because the investigation team is not strong enough.

But Wu Zhongtian is too cunning.

After all, he used to do underground work, so there was no way he would reveal such a flaw.

The investigation was at a standstill.

Now we know that the criminal is Wu Zhongtian.

But there is no evidence.

We can’t do anything to Wu Zhongtian.

After thinking hard.

Lu Juemin felt that the key to breaking the deadlock still lay in Wu's mother.

When Chen Xingyao met Wu's mother before, he was actually eavesdropping nearby.

This also made him realize that there was a high probability that Wu's mother was being used by Wu Zhongtian, and the disclosure of the information was an unintentional mistake.

in other words.

It is possible to "turn her over" and make her come forward to report and testify against Wu Zhongtian.

In this case.

They can use Wu’s mother’s testimony to arrest Wu Zhongtian.

Wu Zhongtian was convicted.

And this is the work of "instigating rebellion".

Naturally, the responsibility fell on Chen Xingyao again.

Chen Xingyao also accepted it with pleasure.

Now she can be said to hate Wu Zhongtian to death.

She hoped that Wu Zhongtian could be brought to justice as soon as possible.

this day.

She came to Wu's house again and rang the doorbell.

After a while.

Wu's mother came to open the door.

When she saw that it was Chen Xingyao who knocked on the door, she was actually a little scared.

"Xingyao...you...why are you here again?"

"I'm here to persuade you." Chen Xingyao said bluntly: "Mom, I want you to report Wu Zhongtian."

"I've thought about it for a long time. Although this was an unintentional mistake on your part, it still killed so many people. If the police find out the truth and want to hold you accountable, you will definitely not be able to escape!"

"But I don't want you to stay in jail, so I want you to report Wu Zhongtian. This way you can make up for your crime and get meritorious service, which will reduce your punishment or even avoid it."

“I…I…” Mother Wu stuttered, “I…how could I do such a thing as stabbing someone in the back…Xingyao, I can’t…”

"Does that mean you want to die with Wu Zhongtian?"

"Mom!" Chen Xingyao yelled, "Wake up! I promise you, if you are willing to report Wu Zhongtian, I can come to see you often, and when you are old, I can take care of you and see you to the end of your life! That should be okay..."

"Xingyao you..."

When Mother Wu heard what Chen Xingyao said, she couldn't help but get excited.

True.

Chen Xingyao made herself an irresistible promise.

Now at Zege's house.

It's already in pieces.

Should I choose to stay with a criminal who killed so many people, or enjoy life with my daughter?

This is actually a multiple-choice question that is easy to choose.

long silence.

She took a deep breath and asked, "Xingyao, aren't you... worried that I will attack your brother as well?"

"If you really want to attack my brother, it means that your feelings for me are fake. Then I can only admit it and admit that I am blind!"

"How could my feelings for you be fake..." Mother Wu smiled bitterly, "Xingyao, I understand. Let me think about it again. Once I've thought it over, I'll give you an answer!"

"Then you better hurry up!"

"..."

……

That night.

Wu's mother prepared a table full of food and waited for Wu Zhongtian to come home.

Wu Zhongtian came back very late.

Seeing the table of food prepared by Wu's mother, he was very surprised, "What are you doing? It's not a festival, why are you making it so grand?"

"I want to celebrate Lu Juemin's death," Wu's mother replied. "After all, this is a big event for our family and is worth celebrating."

"Is it……"

Wu Zhongtian narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, stop doing these useless things and go to bed early!"

talking.

He walked back to the room.

He still didn't believe that Lu Juemin was really dead.

If you want to celebrate.

That would have to wait until the day when it was confirmed that Lu Juemin was really dead.

Looking at Wu Zhongtian's back, Wu's mother hurriedly stopped him and said, "Old Wu, I actually want to talk to you about something else today."

"what's up?"

"Now that Lu Juemin is dead, can we bring Xingyao back?"

"Why pick her up?" Wu Zhongtian snorted coldly, "Is it necessary to bring back that thing with such a crooked elbow? And even if we are willing to take her back, is she willing to come back?"

"Let's not do this thankless task!"

"I, Wu Zhongtian, do not acknowledge her as my daughter!"

"Okay...okay...I...I understand..." After hearing Wu Zhongtian's answer, Wu's mother felt sad.

at this moment.

She also made up her mind...
