inside the room.

Huo Shan leaned back in his chair leisurely, flipped through a few photos in the album, there were him and Shen Xun's family of three in the photos, standing by the old city wall, he held Shen Xun, who was only one or two years old, high , Mrs. and Mrs. Shen faced the camera with smiles on their faces.

That was many years ago.

His rough and callused fingers brushed over the old photos one by one, and he sighed slowly.

Shen Xun absently listened to the movement outside the door, and when the footsteps approached, he stood up suddenly and clenched his fingertips.

Huo Shan gave him a strange look and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Shen Xun shook his head expressionlessly, and added a stream of water to the teacup in front of him.

Huo Shan pondered for a long time, and asked, "Have you not been back all these years?"

"No."

"Your uncle seems to have been asking about you." Huo Shan said after taking a sip of tea and blowing the tea leaves off the surface.

Shen Xun sneered: "My news can be seen on the entertainment page, what else do I need to ask?"

"It's a pity that I couldn't protect myself at that time, so I couldn't help you." Huo Shan sighed.

Shen Xun glanced in the direction of the door and remained silent.

It's hard to protect himself, which is why he didn't go to Xie Shi back then.

After he was discharged from the hospital, he looked for him, but the other party had already moved, leaving no clues about where he went, just like a drop of water melting into the sea, abandoning his lonely sail in the huge waves.

After that, more things happened, and he no longer had any more experiences to distract him from thinking about Xie Shi.

Later, when they met in City A, Xie Shi always avoided him like a snake.

It is difficult to protect oneself, who is not?

Xie Shi listened to the tone of the two people outside the door. It was clearly a reminiscence tone. He didn't have much impression of Huo Shan, but he vaguely remembered that Huo Shan and Shen Song had always been good brothers back then, but something happened and they sat down. prison, so he didn't have much impression of Huo Shan.Judging from the information his mother gave him last time, Huo Shan's imprisonment seemed to be related to Shen Song, so he started to investigate, but judging from Shen Xun's familiarity with Huo Shan, it seemed that this was not the case.

Xie Shi hesitated for a moment, and stopped his hand about to push the door.

"That kid Xie Shi is investigating me, and he even hired two groups of private detectives. Last time I met Zhao Bihua in City H, the detective followed me all the way to the hotel, but I left this stuff long ago, throw it away. The tail on the back of the buttocks is easy, and it didn't cause me much trouble." Huo Shan said again, "Paper can't wrap fire, Xie Shi wants to know, and he will know sooner or later."

"If you don't tell, no one will know." Shen Xun frowned.

"You don't want him to know?" Huo Shan ignored the question and gave Shen Xun a meaningful look.

"He doesn't understand anything and is naive, he just needs to be him."

Huo Shan smiled, and stared at Shen Xun with a pair of scheming eyes: "I'm afraid, it's not the reason."

Shen Xun leaned back on the sofa, and said indifferently: "Uncle Huo, you don't want to participate in the love between children of the younger generation."

His tone was light and sarcastic, but his eyes were slightly threatening.

Huo Shan smiled and sighed: "You boy... since he can think of dealing with Fu..."

"Thirsty?" Shen Xun interrupted him, glanced towards the door calmly, stood up and poured another cup of tea for him.

Huo Shan looked at the cup that was about to overflow: "..."

Huo Shan's train of thought was interrupted, and he couldn't remember where he said just now. After thinking for a while, he said, "Anyway, he has the right to know about what happened back then. If he knew that you had concealed it from him, he would It's your fault."

"He won't." Shen Xun said firmly.

His answer was too decisive, Huo Shan gave him a surprised look.

Shen Xun's Adam's apple twitched, and said again in a low voice: "He won't, I know."

He said so, but his tone was not firm.

Huo Shan didn't care, looked at him for a while, and then said: "I really don't want these things to continue to you younger generations. I watched you grow up. You are a good boy. I don't want you to go into a dead end." He has aged a lot in recent years, and he has seen a lot of things.

Shen Xun lowered his eyes and stared out of the window: "I've already walked out."

"Did you come out?" Huo Shan asked gently.

Shen Xun looked directly at his eyes next to the wrinkles. Huo Shan was no longer what he looked like when he was young, his eyes became cloudy, and the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth drooped. If his parents were still alive, they were about the same age as Huo Shan, and the years would probably have left such marks on their faces. It's a pity that I can't see the traces.

Shen Xun turned his eyes away and said slowly, "Really."

Huo Shan stared at him, and said: "If you come out, you should let it go, instead of continuing to hide the truth from Xie Shi." Huo Shan recalled: "Xie Changhua is really not a heinous person. He pursued Xie Shi's mother Zhao Bihua back then. At that time, I rode a bicycle and ran all over the small town..."

Shen Xun frowned and interrupted him: "Uncle Huo, don't talk about these past events."

Huo Shan sighed, and said softly: "You know that what happened back then was definitely not the fault of Xie Changhua alone. I fought with him and your father. We are extraordinary friends. I know him and your father too. , They turned against each other, it was all due to their personalities, it was all fate..." He didn't believe in fate either, but what happened to him in those years, what happened to his younger brother, did they deserve what they deserved?Apart from the fate, after so many years, Huo Shan has been unable to find another way of liberation for himself.

Shen Xun's eyes sank, his heart ached, and his voice was cold into the ice cellar: "How can the things he did be written off with the excuse of fate? Murder and arson are caused by character, and other people's lives should be ants? This is too ridiculous! He tried to force himself to calm down, but his voice was unbearably low and hoarse, "Even if it was really caused by an unintentional oil leak from the car, I will never forgive him!" Every word of his heart pierced his heart, and he stood outside the door listening to the corner of the wall. Xie Shi almost couldn't stand up, he just felt that these words hit him head-on and made his heart tighten.

I knew Shen Xun's hatred well, but I never thought it would be so deep.How hard it must have been for Shen Xun to hide the tsunami and storm under calm and tranquility, and even show him a warm smile.

Huo Shan narrowed his eyes, and shook his head disapprovingly: "So you joined forces with your uncle to buy the local court and police station, and turned manslaughter into intentional homicide, especially since you knew that Xie Changhua did it because of your father's unfair competition. It was your father who made a mistake first! Xie Changhua and Xie Xiaoshi are gentle and soft-tempered, but they will jump over the wall when they are pushed, I know it all too well."

He inadvertently brought up the truth of the year, but he didn't know that the two juniors, one inside the door, tightened their hearts, and the other outside the door, as if they had been hit in the head.

Manslaughter!

It was your father who made the first mistake!

Huo Shan's voice passed through Xie Shi's eardrums, making him feel cold and trembling all over. He always wanted to escape and was unwilling to face it, but he never thought that there was such a hidden secret between them!

If what Huo Shan said is true... then Shen Xun knew it from the beginning, but he still looked at his ridiculous atonement coldly as a victim. No, no, Shen Song made Xie Changhua go bankrupt, and Xie Changhua killed two of his family , this cannot be equated...

but……

but……

Xie Shi took a few deep breaths, the blackness in front of his eyes slowly faded, his head rested on the wall, his mind was blank, and he stood blankly.

"Two lives were killed, I lost my parents, became an orphan, and took care of others. He deserved all of this! Isn't it a matter of course that I pay him back every cent?" Shen Xun said coldly: "I It is not a just and unselfish law, which cannot be measured at a single point, and he should have suffered from it since he set his heart on fire."

Even though he clearly understood the mood of the people outside the door at this moment, the shock, doubt, heartache, and dilemma... Shen Xun still had to force himself to say this.

Because it's something he's done, and, again, he'll do it again.

Looking at Shen Xun's icy face, Huo Shan didn't know what to say for a moment. This kid is strong in mind, but too cruel and ruthless. I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.It is really a crime for the next generation to bear the burden of the sins caused by the conflict of interests of the previous generation.

Huo Shan shook his head pityingly.Was what Shen Xun did wrong?There is nothing wrong with standing on different positions and having different loves and hates.

"I'm just afraid that you will follow your father's old path." Huo Shan sighed, "He helped me so much and let me escape, but I didn't have time to repay my kindness."

Shen Xun was silent.

There were a few indiscernible footsteps outside the door, one person came and another person left.Huo Shan didn't notice it, but Shen Xun kept listening to the man's movements, and at this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

If he was ruthless, he believed that Xie Changhua should have been sentenced to three to seven years in prison, but because of him and his uncle, he was finally sentenced to life, and died of depression within a year or two in prison.

Is this his revenge?

But not happy.

Because in those years, he didn't know where Xie Shi was.

I don't even know, after seeing Xie Shi, whether to say "Get out" or "Don't come here without any problems".

Now that he and Xie Shi are happily together, he originally wanted to bury this secret forever, and only let Xie Shi see his good side, his gentle side. Xie Shi, who is innocent and far away.

Unfortunately, Xie Shi was braver than he imagined, and he started to investigate Huo Shan.

If you move your whole body, sooner or later he will know everything.

Instead of letting him collect data-based cold evidence and confront him on the bright side, it is better to tell him everything in this way.

At least, at this time, I still have room for explanation.

From the beginning to the end, Shen Xun thought that everything he did was not wrong, the only thing was wrong, and it was difficult for him to say anything to Xie Shi.

"Has your revenge not stopped yet?" Huo Shan asked.

Shen Xun raised his head.

"Xie Shi didn't do anything wrong, you should understand this and tell him the truth." Huo Shan sighed: "As an elder and someone who has experienced it, I remind you that your revenge should not be borne by Xie Shi."

Shen Xun looked at the dark night outside, was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "I never thought of revenge on him, not even a fleeting thought."
