double promise

For ten years, the Cheng family and his wife have been continuously supported by the Huo family, and they have already moved away from their rural hometown in Daxing Mountain and moved to the provincial capital of H province.

The two bought two suites and two shops in the city center.One was used by Cheng's father, Cheng Liguo, to open a chess and card room, and the other became a small supermarket, run by Cheng's mother, Pan Yinghua, selling fruits, vegetables and daily necessities.The couple did not have any more children, but they confirmed the old saying that "you can only adopt a child if you can't have a child".

Huo Mingjun was grateful for Cheng Sheng's life-saving grace, and after he left, he naturally took the responsibility of supporting Cheng's parents on his shoulders.After he recovered, he had contact with the couple several times, and found that the other party was vulgar and selfish, and loved money like his life. He didn't know which step was wrong to educate a son like Cheng Sheng.

Huo Mingjun and Cheng's couple couldn't get along well, and they gradually stopped seeing each other, but every year, a considerable amount of alimony would be paid to a specific account on a regular basis.

The Cheng family's parents had a lot of money in their hands and lived a leisurely life. Although they didn't have a son and a half under their knees, they lived a comfortable and nourishing life.Therefore, when they saw Huo Mingjun coming uninvited in their living room, they didn't realize the danger, and they didn't restrain their philistine spirit, and asked very familiarly: "Oh, rare visitor! What made Boss Huo It's blowing? You don't even say hello in advance if you want to come, look at us, we haven't had time to prepare for anything... Come, Boss Huo, drink some water."

"Don't be too busy," Huo Mingjun said bluntly without taking the cup she handed over, "I'm here today to ask about Cheng Sheng."

Pan Yinghua's hand froze in the air, and Cheng Liguo, who was about to light a cigarette, shivered, and a blue spark burst out from the lighter.

"What kind of expression are you two?" Huo Mingjun asked casually, "Why, can't remember?"

"No, no..." Pan Yinghua came back to his senses, and immediately remedied, "Lao Cheng and I just... didn't realize it all at once. It's been so many years, and you mentioned it so abruptly, we both stunned."

Huo Mingjun curled the corner of his lower lip coldly, and said inexplicably, "That's good."

It stands to reason that this should be a smile, but not to mention that there is no smile on his face, the cold sarcasm in the corner of his mouth alone is enough to make people shy away.The Cheng family and his wife had always respected and feared Huo Mingjun, but at this moment, he laughed so hard that they felt hairy in their hearts, their calves faintly cramped, and managed to regain their composure, and asked tentatively, "Boss Huo has found someone who looks like us again." ?”

Huo Mingjun raised his eyebrows and asked back: "What is 'again'?"

Pan Yinghua was at a loss for words, and explained dryly: "Didn't you let us meet that young man who looks very similar to Ah Sheng last time..."

"Yes, he's not," Huo Mingjun said, "There are no moles in the corners of his eyes, and his IQ is normal. But I recently heard that moles can be removed, and IQ is even more uncertain. Apart from these two things, do you think there are other things? Is there anything else different?"

The couple hesitated.

After a while, Cheng Liguo wondered: "This...Boss Huo, the child was still young when the accident happened, and he didn't grow up. We don't know what he will look like when he grows up. There is really no way to compare."

"I remember that Cheng Sheng blocked a shot for me and hit my right leg, right?" Huo Mingjun casually said, "Where did that bullet go afterwards? Do you still have any memory?"

"There is such a thing. When Ah Sheng's body was brought back, there was a hole in his leg," Pan Yinghua immediately echoed, pretending to be smart, "but I didn't see the bullet... Maybe it was pierced? I didn't find such a small thing back then. I can't find it anymore..."

The calm look on Huo Mingjun's face disappeared suddenly, and under the mask that was removed, there was anger and murderous intent that could no longer be concealed.

His frost-like gaze went to the Cheng family and his wife one by one, wishing he could tear them alive on the spot.

Huo Mingjun clearly remembered that in the year of the accident, he deliberately checked the case report. Since the body was mostly charred and blackened beyond recognition, and was severely damaged due to being crushed under the car, many injuries could not be tested, so the final appraisal given by the forensic doctor There were no gunshot wounds in the results.

But now, Pan Yinghua followed his nonsense prompts and told him with certainty that "Cheng Sheng" had a bullet hole in his leg.

In addition, according to the police's later investigation, one of the two kidnappers was from Orion, and his marksmanship was very accurate.On the night Huo Mingjun and Cheng Sheng fled, the kidnappers chased after them in a car, and this was the person who shot them.

The first shot missed because it was too far away, but neither the second nor the third missed.

They have been killing each other from the very beginning, aiming at Huo Mingjun's back with every shot.So the second shot that Cheng Sheng blocked for him couldn't hit his leg no matter what.

That scar remained on Xie Guan's back, so who is that impostor who has accepted his memorial service with peace of mind for the past ten years?

Huo Mingjun lost the patience to continue the routine, and raised his voice: "The clock and the light."

Before the words were finished, Zhong Heguang led several people and pushed the door out from the inner room.The well-trained bodyguards in black swarmed up, knocked the stunned Cheng family couple to the ground, and tied them into two human-shaped zongzi sticking to the ground.

The couple lived for most of their lives, and had never experienced such a battle. They immediately peed in fright, writhing and struggling on the ground, shouting for help, but Bao Fat each gagged his mouth with a towel.

Huo Mingjun sat on the sofa as motionless as a mountain, with an arrogant demeanor and a cold tone, "Don't shout, and don't waste time struggling, the two of you have cheated me for 11 years together, now it's my turn to be the manor. "

"To tell you the truth, I'll make your death look better."

"I don't know what you're talking about, let go, come here... You're breaking into a private house...Ah!!!"

When Huo Mingjun heard that it was nonsense, he made a gesture, and immediately a bodyguard stepped forward, grabbed Pan Yinghua's left index finger, and snapped it back hard——

The bone made a toothache breaking sound.

Pan Yinghua screamed, but her mouth was blocked by a towel. She choked all of her screams and nearly passed out on the spot from the pain.

"That's right, I not only broke into private houses, but also lynched Lan Yong." Huo Mingjun glanced lazily at Cheng Liguo, "Does Mr. Cheng have anything to say?"

Cheng Liguo was terrified, but the pain of amputating his fingers was not as good as the consequences of telling the truth. He gritted his teeth, determined to beat him to death, and remained silent.

Huo Mingjun waited for three seconds, seeing that he didn't answer, he casually raised his hand.

The bodyguard stepped forward, but this time the target was no longer his fingers, but a "click", snapping off the wrist of his right hand as quickly as twisting a towel.

Cheng Liguo rolled his eyes, let out a muffled roar, and his body twitched uncontrollably, obviously in pain.

Huo Mingjun seemed to have never heard the screams in the room, and said calmly: "Mrs. Cheng, continue."

After three seconds, break another one.

The woman finally took the lead in breaking down completely, and let out a long, extremely stern cry.

"I say! Please! I'll tell you everything!"

Two hours later, Pan Yinghua had six fingers broken, Cheng Liguo's wrists were broken, and two leg bones were broken. Huo Mingjun finally understood the complete truth buried here.

Ten years ago, Pan Yinghua and Cheng Liguo lived in Chengjia Village, Daxing Mountain, H Province, and made a living by farming.Cheng Liguo had no children, so he bought a stolen baby boy from a trafficker, raised him as his own son, and named him Cheng Sheng.

He also has a younger brother, who was the only student in the village who was admitted to a technical secondary school. Later, he married a nurse at the town health center and gave birth to a boy named Cheng Shen.

When Cheng Sheng was 11 years old and Cheng Shen was [-] years old, a severe earthquake occurred in H Province. The area where Cheng's village and town was located was close to the epicenter, causing heavy losses.Unfortunately, Cheng Shen's parents died, and only Cheng Shen, who was placed in the corner of the camphor box by his mother, survived.After the earthquake, he was sent to his uncle's house in Chengjia Village, where he was brought up by Cheng Liguo's family.

However, due to the impact of the post-disaster trauma, Cheng Shen suffered from severe developmental retardation mentally and psychologically. , There is no concept of "psychotherapy" in remote mountain villages, and everyone regards him as a mentally handicapped child.The uncle's family thought he was a fool, so they could only try to ensure that he would not starve to death. No one sent him to school, and no one took care of him.Cheng Sheng grew wild and free-range like this for five years, until one day he was persuaded by the children in the village to crawl into a deserted yard to pick up balls.

He met Huo Mingjun.

Cheng Shen's cousin, Cheng Sheng, has similar names but completely different personalities.Although Cheng Sheng was adopted, but Cheng Liguo and his wife couldn't have a child, and they always regarded him as their own, and they were used to lawlessness. When he was 16 years old, Cheng Liguo sent him to the town to study in high school. Cheng Sheng made new friends, and became obsessed with playing games in Internet cafes.

During the summer vacation, when he returned to Chengjia Village, he would often steal something from the abandoned house without telling the adults, and sell it in the town for money.One night when he went out over the wall, he happened to see Cheng Shen who also sneaked out.Cheng Sheng was curious, and wanted to see where the little fool was sneaking after, so he followed Cheng Shen and walked all the way to the abandoned house where Huo Mingjun was imprisoned.

Cheng Shen was stupid, but Cheng Sheng was not stupid, and in a sense, he was not only not stupid, but also very shrewd.He walked around to the front yard, observed it for a few days, and realized that he had just happened upon a real kidnapping.The kidnappers each had a gun in their hands, and the one locked in the house was their hostage.

Cheng Sheng is just the second stage of arrogance who does not know the heights of the sky and the earth. He likes the big scenes of gang fights and blood splatters. There is not a single cell in his brain as big as an almond.After he discovered this secret, his first reaction was not to call the police, but he eagerly thought: "It's so fucking cool, I want to make a big deal too!"

Sometimes, the more innocent and ignorant a person is, the more terrifying they are when they are vicious.

Cheng Shen clumsily planned to help Huo Mingjun escape, but he didn't know that there was a pair of eyes in the dark, watching him all the time.

Later, Huo Mingjun also had doubts. When Cheng Shen knocked down the kidnappers with a bottle of high-quality wine and stole the key, it stands to reason that they should not be discovered so quickly, but they were caught up by the pursuers before they ran far.However, all the kidnappers were buried at the bottom of the cliff, and no one could tell him the answer. Huo Mingjun made many inquiries to no avail, so he had to attribute it to bad luck and the alcohol was not high enough.

It wasn't until today that he realized that there was an invisible accomplice hidden behind this suspicious point.

On the night when he was about to escape, Cheng Sheng followed Cheng Shen and found that he had stolen a bottle of high-quality grain wine from home.So he rushed home and told Pan Yinghua the whole story in detail. He said that if Cheng Shen let go of the hostage secretly, it would bring disaster to their family—after all, the kidnappers didn't have guns.

When Pan Yinghua heard this, he immediately scolded Cheng Shen for being a bastard. Seeing that his mother had the same attitude, Cheng Sheng volunteered to report to his mother so that they could learn the lesson.

Cheng's mother was worried about his safety, but she always doted on Cheng Sheng and couldn't hold him back, and Cheng Liguo was not at home, so she complied with Cheng Sheng's wish.

So Cheng Sheng woke up the drunken kidnapper and opened the beast's cage door with his own hands.It was also he who got into the kidnapper's car and participated in the hunt for Huo Mingjun. In the end, he rushed out of the cliff with the kidnappers, and ended up with a car crash and no return.

Pan Yinghua waited all night, but her son did not come back.She asked around anxiously, and finally someone told her that there was a car accident on the winding mountain road outside the village, and three people died. It is said that one of them was a half-year-old boy, and the police were looking for someone to identify the body.

Pan Yinghua rushed to the scene and recognized at a glance that some of the remaining pieces of cloth were the clothes Cheng Sheng wore when he left home that night.She was immersed in great shock, her grief was surging, and before she had time to cry, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came over with an impatient face and asked what the relationship between the deceased and her was. For the young master's life, they have to give them a sum of money as compensation.

She was confused and ignorant at first, but after a while, she suddenly figured out the key point, and her eyes immediately burst into ecstasy.

She knew that Cheng Shen, the idiot who saved people, was her son Cheng Sheng who was crushed in the car.But there were only three corpses at the scene, and there was no trace of Cheng Shen among them.

The middle-aged man said that the young master saw with his own eyes that the person who rescued him was hit by a car and fell off the cliff.Falling from such a high place, the possibility of Cheng Shen surviving is too small.

The three corpses at the scene were burned beyond recognition, and the identity of the deceased could only be confirmed by DNA comparison.Then even if the young master came to the scene in person, he would not be able to identify who the dead person was.

The most important point is that the middle-aged man personally conveyed the original words of the young master: "The man who saved me is named 'Cheng Shen'."

The local dialect and dialect have a complicated accent, and the people of Chengjia Village don't distinguish between front and back nasal sounds. Therefore, in their pronunciation, the pronunciation of "Cheng Sheng" and "Cheng Shen" are almost exactly the same.

Pan Yinghua took the credit for Cheng Sheng.

Everyone in the village knew that Cheng Sheng, the son of the Cheng family and his wife, acted bravely and saved the young master of a rich family. The Cheng family has embraced the golden thigh of the Huo family ever since.And that ignorant little fool Cheng Shen disappeared and was quickly forgotten. Occasionally someone mentioned it, and they all followed the same caliber of the Cheng family, thinking that he was abducted by human traffickers.

From then on, Huo Mingjun's savior became "Cheng Sheng", and the name "Cheng Shen" was quietly and completely obliterated under the dual effects of caring people and ruthless time.
