Hope Coffee House

Chapter 71: Despair strikes

Views:

Wu Liang immediately checked the system task bar in his mind. Gu Donglin's hope value, along with his name, had disappeared.

On the task bar, there were only four characters "Mission Successful" left, which seemed to be silently mocking Wu Liang.

Wu Liang only felt hot and buzzing in his head.

Wu Liang turned on the speakerphone when he called. Both Lu Yun and Wang Zhaozhao heard the conversation between Shan Ziling and Wu Liang. Gu Donglin died, and the two looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort Wu Liang.

Zheng Danqing's call came in quickly.

She came to inform Wu Liang of Gu Donglin's death.

Wu Liang told Zheng Danqing the content of the call between Shan Ziling and him just now, but omitted the hot spring resort.

Zheng Danqing also knew that Gu Donglin's death was closely related to Shan Ziling, but she had no evidence.

The driving recorder, surveillance on the viaduct, and the taxi driver can all prove that Gu Donglin forced the taxi driver to stop, opened the door, and jumped off the viaduct.

According to the taxi driver's confession, Shan Ziling does not need to bear criminal responsibility at all. He does not even have civil liability. At most, he will receive moral condemnation.

Wu Liang was a little unwilling and asked Zheng Danqing what Shan Ziling had said to Gu Donglin.

Zheng Danqing recounted what the taxi driver had said to Wu Liang.

Shan Ziling and Gu Donglin got into the car at a Japanese food store about forty minutes' drive from home. Shan Ziling was carrying a large bag of supplies needed for the baby to go out, and Gu Donglin was holding the baby. She smelled of alcohol all over her body, and judging from her condition, Shan Ziling drank more.

After getting in the car, the child was woken up and started crying loudly and couldn't stop it.

Gu Donglin hurriedly took care of the child, holding it, rocking it, and humming songs, but the child didn't buy it and cried louder.

The taxi driver was so dizzy from the noise that he didn't want to be distracted by talking, so he drove in front of him silently.

After crying for ten minutes, the child's voice was hoarse from crying, but his cry was still loud.

Shan Ziling sat aside and closed her eyes, unmoved.

The atmosphere in the car gradually became depressing.

Perhaps because he felt sorry for the child, Gu Donglin said something to Shan Ziling with some dissatisfaction, to the effect that he didn't know how to coax, so he asked Shan Ziling to help coax the child.

Maybe it was because Gu Donglin's tone was not very good, but Shan Ziling also became anxious, saying dissatisfied that Gu Donglin drank outside every day and never took care of the child. Now that the child is eight months old, Gu Donglin even coaxes the child. None of this will happen.

Gu Donglin said angrily and loudly, isn't it all over

The taxi driver was particularly impressed by this sentence because Gu Donglin said it so loudly that it startled him.

The couple was quarreling in their car. This was the first time the taxi driver encountered them. He was embarrassed and at a loss. He didn't dare to stop him for fear of getting into trouble.

Shan Ziling and Gu Donglin were quarreling more and more fiercely. The taxi driver didn't remember what the two of them said specifically. He only remembered that the two kept talking about old scores, and the atmosphere in the whole car was extremely depressing.

Later, the child stopped crying during the quarrel between the two of them. Shan Ziling sat behind the driver, snatched the child from Gu Donglin's arms, and said that she would not quarrel with him again after the divorce.

In such a short time, divorce was proposed. The taxi driver's heart was in his throat, and he didn't dare to express his anger. He quietly glanced at Shan Ziling and Gu Donglin from the rearview mirror. Shan Ziling held them in her arms. The child was playing with his mobile phone, while Gu Donglin looked out the window silently, his expression seemed desperate.

Later, Gu Donglin also started playing with his mobile phone in the back. After a while, he suddenly shouted emotionally to Shan Ziling, you are still posting on that website. It turns out you have been lying to me all along.

Before Shan Ziling could speak, the driver heard a muffled sound, as if Gu Donglin dropped his cell phone at his feet.

Then, Gu Donglin loudly asked the driver to stop.

The taxi driver was afraid that if he didn't stop, the emotional Gu Donglin would step forward to grab the steering wheel and cause an accident, so he had to pull over obediently and stop the car.

Unexpectedly, after Gu Donglin opened the car door, he climbed directly onto the guardrail of the viaduct and jumped off.

The whole process was so fast that people had no time to react.

After listening to Zheng Danqing's story, Wu Liang was silent for a long time, feeling extremely guilty and regretful.

In order to complete the task and get a higher task score, I had been focusing on punishing Li Ze and Miao Zi, but paid much less attention to Gu Donglin.

Especially after understanding Li Ze's methods and understanding that Shan Ziling's hatred for Gu Donglin was all due to the psychological hints of Li Ze's negative emotions, he helped Gu Donglin and sent Shan Ziling to a psychiatrist. After consultation, I never paid attention to the matter again.

In fact, in the whole matter, the most important thing to pay attention to should be Gu Donglin's emotions.

Gu Donglin was deeply in love with Shan Ziling. He had been mentally intimidated by Shan Ziling in the past month. When he entered the Hope Cafe, he was filled with despair and was on the verge of collapse.

Even though he and Shan Ziling later went to the psychologist's studio, the psychologist's main treatment target was Shan Ziling. Gu Donglin's rising hope was just an illusion based on Shan Ziling's gradual return to normal.

If Shan Ziling was just an ordinary woman, the impact of this incident might not be big. As time goes by, a happy family life and a new environment will make Gu Donglin gradually forget everything in the past.

But Shan Ziling is not an ordinary woman, she is Miao Zi who is good at manipulating people's hearts and psychological suggestions, and enjoys killing people.

A quarrel in the taxi completely shattered Gu Donglin's false hope and happiness. Shan Ziling's post on the cursed husband website was discovered by Gu Donglin again, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back. .

Come to think of it, Shan Ziling must have used some other means, and even said in the post that the father of the child was not Gu Donglin.

Endless fear and despair struck, and the only word in Gu Donglin's mind was death.

During the days when Gu Donglin and Shan Ziling went to the psychologist's studio for psychological treatment, Wu Liang, who had nothing to do, even took a vacation for himself and went to Lucheng for three full days.

If during the past three days, I had paid more attention to Gu Donglin and asked them about the details of their psychological treatment, maybe Gu Donglin would not have chosen to commit suicide today.

Gu Donglin entered the Hope Cafe and chose to trust himself, but he led him to a dead end.

For the first time, Wu Liang hated himself so much, and he hated Miao Zi even more. He wished he had to appear in front of Miao Zi regardless of it, and kill Miao Zi directly.

Perhaps Wu Liang was too murderous towards Miao Zi. Both Lu Yun and Wang Zhaozhao noticed the killing intent emanating from Wu Liang.

The sensitive Wang Zhaozhao immediately guessed what Wu Liang was thinking and quickly stopped him in a low voice: "Boss, no! Have you forgotten what Miao Zi just said to you? She has always wanted to persuade you to kill someone directly! If you really If he ran to kill her, wouldn't he be fulfilling her wish?"

Wang Zhaozhao's words awakened Wu Liang. There was no evidence to prove Miao Zi's guilt. If he rushed over and killed her, wouldn't he be just like a thug in the eyes of the uninformed people

If everything must be solved by violence, wouldn't it mean that the world has completely collapsed, and then wouldn't the existence of Hope Coffee House become a joke

If the existence of Hope Coffee House becomes a joke, is it necessary for me to survive by relying on system rewards

Thinking of this, Wu Liang calmed down instantly.

No matter how much he blames himself, no matter how much he hates Miao Zi, things still have to be resolved slowly according to the rules.

At the moment, I still have to do what I should do, such as secretly helping the police and getting Awei's second wife to confess; such as appeasing Gu Donglin's mother who sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man.

When all this is over, he will go to the hot spring resort in person and kill Miu Zi.

Chapter 2 was updated a little late... Fortunately, it's still today.
