Retreat

The next morning, Qiao Mudong got up early and said that he had something to do today, so he could drive He Yu to work first, and told him to wash up quickly and set off.

He Yu was brushing his teeth in the bathroom, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and looked out in surprise, "Who is it? So early?"

Qiao Mudong also felt strange, put on his coat and went to open the door, and saw two men standing outside the door.They first showed Qiao Mudong their IDs and said, "We are policemen from the Nancheng District Police Station. Does Qiao Mudong live here?"

Qiao Mudong couldn't help but frowned slightly, "I am, what's the matter?"

The policeman said: "That's right, there was an injury case last night. I would like to ask you to go back to the police station with us to assist in the investigation."

He Yu came out of the bathroom in a hurry, and said in surprise, "What injury case? What investigation?"

The policeman said: "It's okay, just support our work and make an interrogation record."

Both Qiao Mudong and He Yu have been in prison and have dealt with these policemen. Hearing what he said lightly, they know that things are definitely not that simple.

He Yu grasped Qiao Mudong's arm subconsciously, "What's going on? Can you explain clearly?"

Qiao Mudong patted the back of his hand, "It's okay, I'll go take a look with them."

"No," He Yu wanted to stop him, but he looked at Qiao Mudong nervously, fearing that if Qiao Mudong left, he would never see anyone again.

Qiao Mudong was also unsure, and said to He Yu: "If you have something to ask Li Tang, ask him to ask Hong Minhang for help. Don't worry too much."

He Yu still dare not let go.

Qiao Mudong touched his head, pulled his arm out, and followed the two policemen.

It turned out that after Qiao Mudong left Lu Jincong by the side of the road last night, something happened to Lu Jincong. He was severely injured by someone who beat him to death, and he was still lying unconscious in the hospital with intracranial hematoma.

The reason why the police found Qiao Mudong in the first place was because someone saw Qiao Mudong driving Lu Jincong away from Haiwan Street last night.

Qiao Mudong took notes at the police station.He admitted that he drove Lu Jincong away from Haiwan Road last night, and put Lu Jincong down near Chengnan Avenue, but the two only had a brief dispute and did not touch him, let alone hurt him.

The police told him: "Someone saw you beat him."

Qiao Mudong felt incredible, "Seeing me make a move? I didn't make a move at all, how could I see me make a move?"

The police were reluctant to disclose more detailed information to him.

He made several interrogation transcripts several times, and they gave exactly the same answer. When he was sent to the detention center, Qiao Mudong knew that this time he might be in trouble.

When Qiao Mudong was taken away, He Yu immediately called Li Tang.

"Arrested by the police?" Li Tang was very surprised.

He Yudao: "I don't even know what happened, and the police didn't explain clearly, so they came to the door suddenly and took him away."

Li Tang said: "I see, don't worry."

He Yu raised his hand to cover his forehead, "Brother Li, I have no choice but to be in a hurry. I have been in prison, and I know how difficult life in the detention center is. I can't just see Qiao Mudong being imprisoned for no reason."

Li Tang said: "We don't know the specific situation, wait until I find someone to inquire, and then we can discuss what to do next when we have the news, okay?"

He Yu forced himself to calm down, "I see, I will try to find out, thank you, Brother Li."

Compared with Li Tang and Qiao Mudong, He Yu's social relationship is too simple, and he has no way to find any useful news.But later, a policeman invited him to the police station to make a statement. The policeman asked him what happened on the night of October 10th.

It was the day before Qiao Mudong was taken away by the police. He Yu said that he was alone at home. It was about ten o'clock in the evening. When he received a call, the bar staff asked him to pick up Fu Chenshan. Later, he asked Qiao Mudong to help him. After a trip, Qiao Mudong returned home at about 11:30.

Of the two policemen who took the notes, the younger one asked him, "You live with Qiao Mudong? What's your relationship?"

He Yu said, "Friend."

"Friend?" The little policeman smiled, a little ambiguously.

Coming out of the police station, He Yu was still in a daze. He wanted to ask what happened, but the police refused to tell him the details, only saying that after leaving the bar that night, Qiao Mudong injured someone.

Qiao Mudong never mentioned that he had a dispute with others, so how could he hurt someone for no reason.

He Yu stood alone on the side of the road, a little dazed, when Li Tang called, and Li Tang told him that it was because that night, a man named Lu Jincong was severely injured near Chengnan Avenue. After being sent to the hospital, he remained unconscious.The reason why Lu Jincong appeared on Chengnan Avenue was because Qiao Mudong drove him there from Haiwan Street. At that time, someone saw Lu Jincong getting into Qiao Mudong's car, and later someone saw Qiao Mudong attacking Lu Jincong on Chengnan Avenue. Then he drove away in a black SUV.

He Yu became nervous, "Someone saw him beating someone?"

Li Tang said: "In fact, I didn't see him. I only said that he was a tall man with a black SUV parked beside him. The police deduced that it was Qiao Mudong, so they detained him. Qiao Mudong has a criminal record. The police will definitely Apply for extended detention, lock him up in the detention center for a month, and then report to the procuratorate for arrest."

He Yu said: "It must not be him."

Li Tang was silent for a while, "Young Master Qiao has a bad temper, and he was imprisoned for intentionally hurting him before, and it's normal for the police to bite him now."

He Yu said: "It's not him. I don't believe that Qiao Mudong would be able to talk to me so peacefully when he returned home after beating someone outside. I know him better than anyone else."

Upon hearing this, Li Tang said, "I believe in you. But do you know who that Lu Jincong is?"

"Lu Jincong?" He Yu said, "I don't know, I haven't heard of this person."

Li Tang said: "I asked someone about it. This man has been hanging out in the bar on Haiwan Street all year round. He is a celebrity in the gay circle there. His private life is very chaotic. But the strange thing is that he once worked in Lingyun for a short time this year. In less than two months, he left."

"Ling Yun?" After He Yu listened quietly, he suddenly remembered a person. The last time he sang with his colleagues in the company, Qiao Mudong came to pick him up. The man he met at the time hitchhiking, Qiao Mudong once said that he was an employee of Ling Yun.

Li Tang said: "I suspect that someone wants to punish Qiao Mudong, and it is very likely that they have something to do with Ling Qiang."

Hanging up the phone, He Yu thought it was ridiculous, Ling Qiang still refused to let them go?Why?Just because Qiao Mudong refused to stay and inherit Lingyun?So he wants to drive his own son to a dead end?

He Yu felt that it was impossible, there should not be such a father in the world, even if Qiao Mudong was destroyed, he would not have another son, he would not do this.

Who is that?He Yu suddenly froze, Fu Chenshan!By the way, Qiao Mudong went to Haiwan Road because of Fu Chenshan that night. Fu Chenshan clearly said that he was unconscious, but why didn't he leave with Qiao Mudong, but let people see that Lu Jincong got into Qiao Mudong's car?Yes, it must be Fu Chenshan, he was still worried when he saw Qiao Mudong leave Lingyun, he must trample Qiao Mudong to death to be satisfied!

He Yu took out his phone and looked for Fu Chenshan's phone number, probably because he was so angry that his fingers trembled a little.After searching through the address book, he couldn't find Fu Chenshan's phone number, that number had already been deleted by Qiao Mudong.He remembered the call he had received earlier asking him to pick up Fu Chenshan, found the call records, and dialed the number.

Sure enough, it was Fu Chenshan who answered the phone, his tone was slightly surprised, as if he didn't expect He Yu to call him.

He Yu tried his best to keep his tone calm, but he still couldn't hide his excitement. He said, "Fu Chenshan, where are you?"

"Xiao Yu?" Fu Chenshan's voice was very soft, "What's wrong? I have something to do at work now, what's the matter?"

He Yu said: "I want to see you, I have something to ask you."

Fu Chenshan was summoning the managers of the two departments in charge to report to work. At this time, he had to ask them to wait a while, avoiding to the lounge, and asked, "You want to see me now? Is it urgent?"

He Yu said, "It's urgent, I want to see you now."

He Yu hadn't spoken to Fu Chenshan in this tone for a long time. Fu Chenshan hesitated and said, "Yes, where are you, I'll come to you now."

He Yu said slowly: "Thirteenth High School, come here."

Thirteenth Middle School is the middle school where He Yu and Fu Chenshan studied together. For a long time, this place has carried He Yu's happiest memory.

Over the years, Thirteenth Middle School has built a new teaching building and a new laboratory building, but the playground remains the same, and even the sports equipment has not moved.

He Yu leaned on the parallel bars, quietly waiting for Fu Chenshan.

When Fu Chenshan arrived, he saw such a quiet He Yu, which inexplicably overlapped with the scene from more than ten years ago.At that time he liked to play basketball, but He Yu was short and couldn't play well, so every afternoon after school, when he came to play, He Yu would lean against the parallel bars not far from the basketball court, waiting for him to go home together.

"Xiao Yu!" Fu Chenshan called him loudly, and trotted towards him.

Because it was in the morning, there were no students in the physical education class on the playground, and there were only the two of them in the entire playground.

Fu Chenshan ran to He Yu's side, panting slightly, he hadn't exercised much for a long time, because he was busy with things every day, and he would never spare time to play basketball again.

"Fu Chenshan," He Yu stood up straight and looked at him without a smile on his face, "I have something to ask you."

Fu Chenshan looked at his expression, and his expression became serious, and he said, "Say it."

He Yu asked, "What happened the night you asked someone to call me to pick you up?"

Putting his hands in his trouser pockets, Fu Chenshan said to He Yu: "You don't want to ask me what happened, you want to ask Qiao Mudong what happened?"

He Yu grabbed his skirt suddenly, "Is that you?"

Fu Chenshan reached out to hold his hand, and said, "Xiao Yu, calm down. The police came to me and asked me about what happened that night. I told them that I saw Qiao Mudong leave the bar, and then I paid the bill. I also went out, and when I was at the door, I happened to see a young man getting into Qiao Mudong's car, and they left together. The police let me identify the photo of the young man, and it is said that the man was seriously injured that night."

He Yu let go of his hand, but refused to believe it, "Why did you call me when you were so good? Aren't you so drunk that you passed out? Why did you wake up again when Qiao Mudong came over? Fu Chenshan, do you want to frame Qiao Mudong? ?He won't snatch Ling Yun from you, you can take it if you want it, he doesn't want a penny of Ling Qiang's money, you can just take it! But you let him go, he didn't hit anyone, don't frame him! "

"Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu, calm down!" Hearing He Yu's accusation, Fu Chenshan suddenly felt his heart throbbing. He stretched out his hand, wanting to hug He Yu, wanting to make He Yu calm down and listen to him explain.

But He Yu didn't want him to approach at all, he raised his hand and pushed Fu Chenshan away heavily, He Yu also took two steps back, leaning his body on the parallel bars.

Seeing He Yu looking at him with disgust, Fu Chenshan was suddenly stunned. Cold sweat began to break out on his back, and he said, "Xiao Yu, how could it be me? I didn't get someone to beat me, not to mention I didn't know that Qiao Mudong would come, so how could I frame him? We have known each other for more than 20 years, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

But He Yu said: "It's because I know what kind of person you are! You are selfish and embezzle public funds in order to make money. If something goes wrong, you will let me help you! You know that I like you, so For many years, you have watched me getting deeper and deeper into you, but you have put on a posture of a friend, neither accepting me nor letting me leave! What kind of person do you think you are in my eyes?"

After hearing what he said, Fu Chenshan shook his head and wanted to grab his arm, but he kept calling his name, "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, it's not like this... You have always been the most important person to me, I didn't want to hurt you, I wanted to be nice to you."

But He Yu didn't let him touch him at all, waved his hand away, and said, "Do you think I will believe you? If you are really nice to me, then give me back Qiao Mudong. I don't want anything, as long as Qiao Mudong comes back .”

Fu Chenshan closed his eyes, "I really didn't frame Qiao Mudong."

He Yu looked at him coldly, "Okay, no matter what you said is true or not, from today onwards, there will be no relationship between us, just pretend we don't know each other."

Fu Chenshan looked at He Yu in disbelief, "Xiao Yu, we said we would be friends for life."

"What a shit friend!" He Yu said, "I've been lying to myself for half my life, and now I've figured everything out. If I could, I'd rather never know you!"

If he hadn't known Fu Chenshan, he wouldn't have fallen in love with someone secretly for more than ten years, wouldn't have been so hotheaded to take the blame for someone and go to jail, and wouldn't have caused his mother to be so ill that she couldn't even see her for the last time. .He Yu knew that he was wrong, outrageously wrong, maybe he didn't have the right to point and scold Fu Chenshan like this, because it was his own choice, no one else's fault.But these emotions that had been accumulated for a long time were on the verge of eruption, he had no way of judging whether Fu Chenshan was telling the truth, he was very hesitant, he had no other thoughts except wanting Qiao Mudong back like crazy.

As for that unbearable past, let's make a thorough conclusion like this, at least he has never been sorry to Fu Chenshan, and he will never have any emotional entanglements with him in the future.
