"At the beginning..." In the small supermarket, the old man was still telling what happened that year, "My brother didn't intend to tell me what was in the safe!
“We all thought that there were just some belongings and ledgers inside,” the old man shook his head and said, “Besides, because it couldn’t be opened at the time, our original plan was to move the safe together!
“However, there are so many people in the building and there are security guards at the door. It’s really eye-catching to just carry a big safe out!
“Now that I think about it, it was pretty scary at the time!” the old man recalled. “On the day we were preparing to run away, my brother finally came up with a way to ask me and him to carry the safe to the basement and hide it.
"Of course we couldn't tell Su Zheng and the others about the safe, so my brother gave them some money in advance and dismissed them!
"Then, the two of us carried the safe downstairs...
“The safe was very heavy, so we used a book trolley to carry it downstairs, then casually opened a storage room in the basement and hid the safe in a corner.
"At that time," the old man pursed his lips, "I thought that those were all temporary, and it wouldn't be long before I could follow my brother back and use the money in the safe to make a comeback!
"I didn't expect that this move... would be my whole life!"
"You just said, it's so scary!" Zhao Yu asked, "What's so scary?"
"Oh..." The old man remembered it and said hurriedly, "My brother and I hid the safe and pushed the cart back. But as soon as we arrived at the door, we saw someone in the company already rummaging through the box!
"Needless to say, those people must be plainclothes...
"If we had been a step late, or hadn't hidden the safe, maybe... by then, we wouldn't have been able to escape!"
"Oh..." Zhao Yu nodded and continued to ask, "So, what happened next? What happened again? Where is your elder brother?"
"Alas!" The old man sighed heavily again and said sadly, "After escaping, I just thought we could hide somewhere else, but... my brother contacted someone and planned to sneak to Tai O...
“I didn’t want to go at the time, saying it was too dangerous to cross the border illegally and too far away from home, so I couldn’t do it!
"However, my eldest brother is very determined and insists on smuggling...
“Then, we had a fight at the smuggling dock, and my brother had no choice but to reveal the murder!
“After listening to this, I was completely stunned. Only then did I know what was in the safe!
"Then, my brother persuaded me to join him. There are many development opportunities in Tai O. If I can make a difference in the future, it won't be too late to go back!
"I was so scared at that time. It was the first time since I was a child that I felt how scary my brother was..." the old man said, "He is a murderer, and I... I don't dare to confront him again!"
"I was afraid that when he got angry, he would kill me too... So, I had no choice but to sneak into Tai O with him... "
"I... my Lord..." After hearing the old man's narration, the young man named Xiao Ming exclaimed. He never thought that the old man had such a past.
"However, Tai O here is completely different from the Magic City," the old man continued, "We brothers tried to return to our old careers, but we failed!
“With tax-free protection here, they don’t need to make false accounts at all, and we don’t need us to launder money. There are more professional consortiums to do it.
“So, we had no choice but to change our profession and do a lot of business, but none of them succeeded in the end...
"Gradually, I couldn't stand it anymore. I tried to leave here and go home, but there was no way!" the old man said. "At that time, my eldest brother's state had been unstable, not only because of the failure of his business, but also in his heart. condemnation…
"He told me that he did not regret killing the evil woman and her son, but he always felt guilty about their daughter and felt that he should not have killed that innocent girl...
"He also said that he often dreams about Youran, and dreams about Youran coming to him...
"Actually, at that time, I had already realized that he had a serious mental problem, but I had no choice but to persuade him...
"As a result, one night, my eldest brother climbed up to an abandoned building and jumped off the roof. He chose the same ending as..."
oh
Zhao Yu frowned and said, Unexpectedly, Zhang Haoren had already jumped off the building!
"To be honest," the old man said, "after I learned the news that my eldest brother jumped off the building, I felt a lot more relaxed! Yes, he is my eldest brother and we grew up together. However, since I knew that he was a murderer, everything has changed. changed!
"He is nothing but fear to me!
"His death is a relief to himself and to me!
"Originally," the old man continued, "after my eldest brother jumped off the building, I started planning to go home, but... then, another accident happened!
"When I was smuggling across the border, I was caught by the coast guard and almost caught me...
"Fortunately, I had better water skills and escaped their capture, and then... Then just like in the TV series, I swam here, which was just a small fishing village at the time!
“The people in the fishing village were very friendly and took me in.
"And... and..." He glanced at Xiao Ming, "I also met his mother from here!"
"No... can't you?" Xiao Ming trembled and his eyes widened, "You... you asked me to call you daddy, you... you..."
"Don't worry," the old man said, "you are not my biological child! When I met your mother, you were already 3 years old. Your father died in a shipwreck. Your mother saw that I was an honest person, so she followed me.
"Then, we opened this supermarket together... It's a pity that your mother left too early... "
I click…
Zhao Yu glanced at the young man and felt that it was almost like acting in a TV series.
"Your mother entrusted you to me before she left," the old man said. "So, although Tai O has returned, I still gave up the thought of going home because I have no relatives at home anymore. If I go back, I might as well stay here." Here, it feels more like home...
"But..." The old man glanced at Zhao Yu and said sadly, "Now, whether I want to go back or not, I have to go back, haha...
"Life goes by really fast..."
"Dad... wu wu..." At this point, the young man actually cried, "I can't help you, wu wu, you are a good person...
"Sir," the young man turned to Zhao Yu and said, "it was not my father who killed him. It has been so many years. He won't go to jail, right
"Dad..." The young man held the old man's hand again, "Don't worry, things are different now. Even if you have to go back, I will just go back with you. I still have to serve you..."
"Alas!" Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhao Yu looked up to the sky and sighed.
Then, he approached the old man and said coldly: "Do you know how we found this place?"
"Hmm..." the old man trembled slightly and asked, "I don't know... I thought this day would never come!"
"The first thing we discovered was the arm in the safe!" Zhao Yu said in a deep voice, "With DNA technology, it really can't be faked anymore!"
"Oh... D... DNA..." The old man seemed to have realized something, and his lips turned white.
"Maybe you don't know who I am!" Zhao Yu smiled faintly and said, "You are not a younger brother, but an elder brother!!!"
