Rebirth of the Aspirations of Choucheng

It is said that on the eve of a storm, the sea will always be extremely calm.Just like the Lu family at this moment, all kinds of secret, sinister, absurd, and unspeakable undercurrents are intertwined and gathered, slowly stirring up a huge vortex in the bottom of the unfathomable water, and one day they will break away. Come out, devouring all warm disguises and beautiful illusions.

As the center of the storm, his father Lu Yuanteng can't see any clues.Since the appearance of the mysterious phone call, the servants have been discussing the cause of their mother's death in private. Twenty years after the conclusion of the coffin, the rumors are rampant again. Many people secretly speculate whether there is any inextricable connection between this incident and the Zhou family. .My father never mentioned the details of the phone call, only saying that someone wanted a white wolf for money.He could have ignored it or simply called the police, but there are signs that he has asked someone to prepare a large amount of cash. For this, the father explained to the eldest brother and the younger mother that he wanted to spend money to buy peace, so that no one would have trouble again. With ulterior motives to provoke the relationship between Zhou and Lu.The Lu family can gain a foothold in the business field without the solid backing of the Zhou family. If they want to seek greater benefits, they must take every step steadily and steadily.

On the day he received the call, Lu Xiaoyan immediately sent someone to investigate the man who called.That kid is actually smart and knows how to use an unregistered phone card to hide his identity. Unfortunately, he was so secretive that he didn't notice the background sound during the call. After amplifying and removing noise with professional equipment, he could clearly hear the collision of metal tools The sound and the car horn sounded, and there was a sentence like "the camshaft is badly worn" in the middle.

The camshaft is a part of a piston engine. Based on this, it can be inferred that the person was probably in a car repair shop when he called, and then contacted him 10 minutes later than the agreed situation. Obviously, he cannot fully control his own time. distribution, so the possibility of being a shop assistant is much greater than that of a customer.Through satellite positioning, Lu Xiaoyan's people easily locked the transmission range of the phone signal, and then found a qualified car repair shop within the range, and found out the real identity of the caller without much effort.

It turned out that the guy's name was Ah Cheng, in his forties. He had been in prison for more than ten years because of burglary and wounding.But what is puzzling is that Lu Xiaoyan's subordinates checked Ah Cheng from childhood to adulthood, from inside to outside, but they didn't find out that he had any relationship with the Zhou family, the Lu family, or the car accident that year.It feels like a layer of frosted glass is covered in front of the eyes, and there is something that is very close, but there is no way to see clearly.

With the clue broken, Lu Xiaoyan had no choice but to send someone to keep an eye on Ah Cheng and his father's confidantes first.In terms of means and strength, his father is more than one level higher than him. I am afraid that his father already knows all the information he can find out.

After following him for three full days, he didn't find any contact between his father and Ah Cheng. It wasn't until the fourth day that a fire accident caught Lu Xiaoyan's attention.The location of the incident was a small grocery store. The cause was the spontaneous combustion caused by the aging wiring. That night, the store’s daughter vomited and had diarrhea after eating something bad. The proprietress accompanied her to the hospital for emergency treatment. All the dwellings above have been reduced to ashes.

The development of the whole incident to this point may be regarded as an accident. The strange thing is that the proprietress and her daughter both left Lidao the next day without even receiving compensation from the insurance company.And the reason why Lu Xiaoyan noticed this accident was because Ah Cheng rushed to the scene immediately after the fire broke out, but failed to find the proprietress, mother and daughter. , His face was full of disappointment and annoyance.

After investigating the details of the proprietress, Lu Xiaoyan finally connected all the clues together.The proprietress is called Mrs. Sheng, and her husband, A Sheng, was the murderer who killed Kong Fanzhen.Ah Sheng was sentenced to seven years in prison for driving illegally and causing death. However, in his third year in prison, his throat was accidentally cut by the handle of a toothbrush in a group fight among prisoners, and he died on the spot.And this Ah Cheng who appeared suddenly and claimed to know the truth was the inmate who lived in the same room with Ah Sheng back then.

If his mother's death was related to Zhou Rong, why didn't Ah Cheng go directly to blackmail Zhou Rong?If the mother's death had nothing to do with Zhou Rong, why did it threaten the relationship between Zhou and Lu's family?Also, why did Ah Cheng specifically mention the word "fuel tank"?Why did the father compromise?The truth seemed to be within reach, but Lu Xiaoyan was a little hesitant.

You must know that the truth is often the cruelest thing in the world. Sometimes it is a burning coal, and sometimes it is a thorny thorn. If you want to grasp it and be a smart person who knows everything, you must first be able to bear the pain .

According to Lu Xiaoyan's speculation, after the fire broke out, his father should deal with Ah Cheng.Sure enough, the next night, a gold shop near the block where Ah Cheng worked was robbed. Although the owner of the gold shop was only slightly injured, the property loss was not small.The surveillance video in the store captured the incident, but because of the angle and the fact that the prisoner was wearing loose work clothes covering his head and face, he could only see the general height, weight and behavior habits. Except for these, the scene also found A glove left behind by the prisoner when he fled.By examining the remaining engine oil and human dander on the gloves, it is easy to trace the identity of the owner, and the overalls worn by the prisoner also pointed the suspicion to the car dealership where Ah Cheng was.

That night when Ah Cheng came home from work, he tripped over a huge travel bag as soon as he entered the door. When he opened it, he found that the inside was yellow and heavy, full of gold objects.Ah Cheng picked up the gold chain and looked at it for a while in bewilderment, then suddenly realized that someone was setting up a trick to harm him!He once committed a robbery crime. If he is caught again for the same crime, the judge will definitely punish him severely, and he will probably spend the rest of his life in prison.He quickly put the chain back into the travel bag, carried it and ran out, intending to throw it into the sea without anyone noticing, so that there would be no proof.Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, he heard a loud siren from outside. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the police's target was himself. He hesitated for a moment, dropped his travel bag, jumped up to the window sill, Stepping on the drainpipe from the back window, he slipped downstairs and rushed into the dark narrow alley.

When he ran to a corner, Ah Cheng was about to stop to catch his breath, and while he was looking around, he suddenly heard someone calling him in a low voice. When he subconsciously turned his head, someone hit the back of his neck with a sap, before he had time to see the other person's face clearly. , fell to the ground like a dead pig, and passed out.

The person who took Ah Cheng away was Lu Xiaoyan. In addition to closely monitoring Ah Cheng's every move, he also carefully observed his father's every move. It was not until his father's intentions were fully exposed that he took Ah Cheng away in time.

Lu Xiaoyan's people carried Ah Cheng into a car and took him to a hidden old warehouse in the suburbs. He covered his head and face with a black cloth bag, tied his hands and feet tightly to an iron chair, and poured a basin of ice water over his head.Ah Cheng woke up in a jerk, and at first he was yelling arrogantly, until he was punched several times before he completely calmed down.

Not long after, Lu Xiaoyan came in leisurely with a folding chair. He placed the chair opposite Ah Cheng, sat on it comfortably, raised his legs and waved his hands backwards. And consciously guarded every corner around the warehouse to serve as a security guard.

This group of people was secretly invited from abroad by him, and the price was three times higher than the market price.It is not because of how valuable this team is, he just wants to let those who follow him know that if he does not do things for him wholeheartedly, then if he makes any mistakes, he will not be able to find another employer who spends as much as him. easy.Up to now, he doesn't believe in any rules, morality, and integrity. In the final analysis, there are only two words between people-interests!

From mother's death to Ah Cheng's appearance, it has been 20 years, this story must be very long in memory, so Lu Xiaoyan is not in a hurry.He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, lit it and took two deep puffs, and waited until the smoke cleared before asking slowly: "Your name is Ah Cheng?"

Ah Cheng was covered by a black cloth, he couldn't see anything, and he didn't know who the speaker was, so he could only ask calmly, "Who are you?"

Lu Xiaoyan ignored Ah Cheng's question, and said to himself: "Zhong Shoucheng, prisoner number [-], was imprisoned in Dajiao Prison from [-]* to [-]. Xie Fusheng and you are roommates. The upper and lower bunk, usually taught you a lot of car repair skills. Presumably after getting along with him day and night for a few years, you know a lot about him."

Ah Cheng shook his body vigorously, trying to break free from the rope: "You, who are you? Why tie me up?"

"Don't worry, you are safe—at least for now." Lu Xiaoyan smiled briefly, "Well, you have two choices: one, tell the truth about what you know, and then I will arrange a boat to send you out Two, I will call the police now, and as a good citizen, I will assist the police in bringing the robbers to justice."

Ah Cheng swallowed hard: "You...are you Brother Dayong?"

Lu Xiaoyan was taken aback for a moment, it seemed that Ah Cheng mistook him for Zhou Rong, and he simply made mistakes and did not refute: "Now is the time to make choices, not the time to ask questions. Have you made up your mind? The police will be called soon, just press the three numbers, One, two..."

"Don't, don't, don't, Brother Darong, I'll say anything!" If it wasn't for being tied up with a rope, Ah Cheng would have jumped up, "This matter has nothing to do with me, really, I didn't know anything about it before I was imprisoned." Knowing Asheng, it is even more impossible to lie to you with him! I just heard a little bit about the past from Asheng. Recently, I lost a bet on the horse and my money is tight. I want to get some small money to spend. What am I, little Xiami One, how dare you offend Brother Dayong!"

Ah Cheng tilted his head and waited for a while, but he couldn't hear any movement. He couldn't help but feel anxious, and he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles: "Brother Da Rong, believe me, what I say is true! Just let me live, and I will tell you everything I know." Speak out! Make sure you don’t miss a single word!”

The black cloth pocket was sticking to his face wetly, and Ah Cheng's nose and mouth could be seen undulating violently.Lu Xiaoyan smoked unhurriedly until one cigarette was exhausted. He pressed the edge of the chair to extinguish the spark, and carefully put the cigarette butt in his pocket: "Life and death are made by people. You lie to me. Of course I have a way to dismantle it. But you don’t have to be afraid..." He raised his right hand, looked at it from the front and back, "My hands are very clean, I don't want to get blood easily... Tell me, I'll listen .”

"I said! I said!" Ah Cheng coughed stiffly, "I, I heard that Ah Sheng said that back then you couldn't understand Kong Fanzhen and that director Feng An getting too close, so you asked Ah Sheng to make a scene. Car accident, I wanted to teach him a lesson, but Kong Fanzhen was not driving the car that day. Actually... Actually..."

Lu Xiaoyan became a little impatient: "Actually what?"

"Actually..." Ah Cheng seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said bravely, "Actually, it was Lu Yuanteng's conspiracy! It was deliberately designed by Lu Yuanteng. Ah Sheng knew Lu Yuanteng long before he entered Zhou's house to work. His father When he died, Lu Yuanteng went to pay homage to his filial piety, and there are photos to prove it... It's just that a fire broke out in Ah Sheng's shop two days ago, and the old photos were burned together with the evidence that Lu Yuanteng paid for A Sheng's two in-laws. ..."

Although he had expected such an answer for a long time, Lu Xiaoyan still trembled violently as if being scalded, his brows were tightly wrinkled, the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he tried his best to keep his voice calm: "Oh, really? Then tell me why Lu Yuanteng killed his own woman."

There was nothing unusual in Lu Xiaoyan's tone, and the fear in Ah Cheng's heart was reduced a bit: "I heard from Ah Sheng that although Lu Yuanteng and Kong Fanzhen are very affectionate on the surface, they have been in bed together for a long time. Looking for a little boy outside. Lu Yuanteng wanted to dump Kong Fanzhen several times, but that girl knew too many ulterior secrets about him, and threatened him that once they broke up, she would completely destroy him and ruin his reputation. Lu Yuanteng was scared, no Dare to act rashly, so I had to find a way to stabilize Kong Fanzhen, until..." Ah Cheng's voice suddenly dropped, and he muttered timidly, "Until Ah Sheng told him your plan, he came to make a plan and borrow your money." Not to mention getting rid of Kong Fanzhen by hand, but he can also seize the opportunity to threaten you, lest you go against him again."

No wonder... No wonder the tense relationship between father and Zhou Rong was reconciled after his mother died... Lu Xiaoyan nodded slowly, closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, before asking in a low voice: "What you said...seems very reasonable , but I still can't believe it, didn't you say that the photos and evidence were all burned? How can you prove that what you said is true?"

"I'm not lying! Brother Darong, believe me! Everything I say is true!" Ah Cheng was so anxious that he almost broke his voice, "Lu Yuanteng is very good at doing things. Workers tampered with the fuel tank of Kong Fanzhen's car, which is why Kong Fanzhen temporarily borrowed Feng An's car. Also, Lu Yuanteng knew that Kong Fanzhen had ordered a set of limited edition rings in a boutique, and there were only three pairs of rings in the island. He specially sent someone to buy two pairs that afternoon, that's why the salesperson called her and urged her to go to the store to trade. You can check these big Rong brothers, but you have to hurry, since Lu Yuanteng Being able to set fire to Ah Sheng's house, he must have taken care of the repairman and salesman back then. Also, I always feel that Ah Sheng's death was not easy. He was as strong as a cow, and he usually fought against three Five is not a problem, how could he be stabbed to death by a broken toothbrush, his..."

Ah Cheng was still talking, but Lu Xiaoyan didn't continue to listen.He stood up and walked towards the door with a gloomy face. The sun was very bright outside, and the sunlight was dazzling, but he couldn't feel the slightest warmth at all, only a strong chill...

Seeing him go out, the person guarding outside immediately stepped forward to ask for instructions in a low voice: "Mr. Lu, what should we do?"

Lu Xiaoyan let out a long breath slowly: "According to the plan."

"Understood." The man took out another brown paper bag and handed it to Lu Xiaoyan, "This is what you told me to check before."

Lu Xiaoyan took the paper bag casually, which contained a few photos, and he looked down as he walked.The photo is a few years old. It is a photo of an old actress on the set. In the far corner of the photo, I can see my father in his early twenties helping someone to set up a lamp stand. A small figure is exposed behind the lamp stand, because it is not conspicuous. , and deliberately circled it with a red pen.That person was "father's old acquaintance" Xie Fusheng.Lu Xiaoyan pinched the corner of the photo hard, as if he wanted to crush the hidden feelings revealed in the photo.

Walking to the side of the car, he stuffed the photo back into the paper bag as it was, opened the door and sat in.The car was a bit stuffy. He wanted to unbutton the collar of his shirt to let the air in, but the buttons were too tight. He tugged angrily, and the two buttons flew out, bounced on the windshield, and rolled towards the seat again. Next to the storage box.

Lu Xiaoyan's gaze moved along with the buttons, and finally fixed firmly on the glove box.There was a pistol hidden in the dark compartment at the bottom of the storage box, which he planned to use for self-defense.It was a glock17, which could be loaded with [-] rounds of ammunition. It had a high rate of fire and was light in hand, which was enough for him to save his life in an emergency.

At this moment, his thoughts were chaotic, as if being scratched by sharp and dirty long nails, and his heart was full of destructive and destructive impulses.The locker seemed to have magical powers, beckoning his hand, he slowly reached out and opened the hidden compartment, his fingers touched the handle of the gun, held it tightly, grasped it firmly, and there was a flash of madness in his eyes... The gun is really a good thing , you can solve everything cleanly, and you don’t have to bother to plan and plan anymore. You just need to aim at the target, pull the trigger, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang bang, what kind of hypocritical posturing, the whole world will be clean, and there will be no more troubles... …

The elbow inadvertently pressed the steering wheel, and the car horn sounded sharply, pulling Lu Xiaoyan back from the illusion to reality.no!Can't be controlled by the inner demons, what he wants in a new life is not only revenge, he also wants to live and win!He wants to build his own entertainment kingdom, reach the top, look down on the world, protect Ling Xi, and give Ling Xi happiness. How could he die with everyone so easily!

Lu Xiaoyan snapped the glove box up, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out...

Because he had to prepare for the next day's competition, Ling Xi shut himself up with Cheng Che in the dance room for practice all afternoon.He received a call in the middle, it was from Lu Xiaoyan, but Lu Xiaoyan only asked him where he was, then hung up in a hurry, and he didn't take it to heart.

After the practice, Ling Xi went to take a shower as usual, but just after getting dressed, before even drying his hair, he saw Lu Xiaoyan rushing in with a vicious face, without saying hello when they met, he dragged him out, Ling Xi stumbled and was dragged all the way, and before he could figure out the situation, he was already stuffed into the car.He wanted to ask what was going on, but seeing Lu Xiaoyan's face that could wring out the ink, he obediently kept his mouth shut.

Lu Xiaoyan stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, the engine roared, and the tires almost floated off the ground.The car drove a long way along the coastal road, and finally stopped on a secluded beach.It was dusk, the boundless fine sand was covered with a layer of golden light, and the waves lazily climbed onto the beach one after another, crashing, crashing... The picture is as peaceful as a postcard.

After parking the car, Lu Xiaoyan just sat there motionless, staring blankly at the sea level, wondering what he was thinking.He refused to speak, and Ling Xi didn't ask, because he was really bored, so he hummed silently in his mind, and even tapped the time with his fingers.

After sitting for a while, the phone rang, Ling Xi picked it up and heard that it was Cheng Che.Cheng Che yelled into the microphone and asked, "Ling C, where did you go? We agreed to have dinner together, why didn't I see you after I came out of the shower?"

Ling Xi just wanted to explain his whereabouts, but suddenly his hands were empty, Lu Xiaoyan had already snatched the phone, hung up the phone without any explanation, and threw it back into his arms.Ling Xi frantically caught the phone, her mouth bulging like a bun, silently expressing her dissatisfaction.At this time, Cheng Che called again, Ling Xi looked at Lu Xiaoyan, changed the phone to the other hand, and pressed his head to the car window to answer it quietly, but unfortunately he didn't succeed, Lu Xiaoyan pulled the phone from behind just as soon as the call was connected In the past, this time Lu Xiaoyan directly turned off the phone, and then threw the phone on the dashboard in front of him.

Ling Xi didn't blow out her hair when she came out, and now it's dried naturally, her hair is all fluffy and curled up, making her ears itchy.He scratched his hands twice, looking silly.Seeing that Lu Xiaoyan's attention wasn't on the phone, he carefully moved it a little bit, and then a little bit, trying to stealthily get the phone back, but he didn't think he was about to get it, so Lu Xiaoyan grabbed the phone first, opened the car door and left go out.I saw Lu Xiaoyan strode out tens of meters, then squatted down, dug a sand pit on the ground with his hands, threw the phone into the pit, and buried it with sand...

At first Ling Xi was still sitting on the seat and watching lazily, but he didn't realize it until the phone was buried, and quickly got out of the car and chased after it.Running to the front, Ling Xi bent down and wanted to dig out the phone, but was blocked by Lu Xiaoyan's arm. Ling Xi glanced at Lu Xiaoyan, quickly turned around to the other side, but just as he stretched out his hand, he was blocked by the agile Lu Xiaoyan. He didn't die Heart, screaming like Lu Xiaoyan's eagle catching chickens, in the end both arms were caught by Lu Xiaoyan, unable to bend down, so he simply stretched out his long legs, trying to dig open the sand pit with his feet to rescue the phone.

Seeing that he was about to succeed, Lu Xiaoyan suddenly bent down and carried him on his shoulders, and strode towards the car.This childish and domineering act of deliberate teasing made Ling Xi very helpless. He stretched out his hand and hooked it forward twice in vain, and then sighed softly: "Brother Xiaoyan, stop making trouble, okay?" The phone also costs money Bought, water can not be used!

"Not good!" Lu Xiaoyan had a fierce face, and the corners of his mouth quickly twitched.
