"The human heart is very complex, with many twists and turns and many mechanisms."
Dimly, Chu Qing recalled what her adoptive father had said. It was just a random sentence thrown in during a casual conversation. But now I deeply understand the meaning of this sentence
I originally thought that my stepmother was so cold and mean just because she was not her biological child, but I didn't expect that she had already planned a way to expel him.
I originally thought that I had a lot of friends, that I could enjoy my life wherever I went, and that I could no longer rely on my father, but I didn't expect that all of them would add insult to injury.
"Do you hate it?" Chu Qing kept asking himself. Apparently the answer was yes every time.
His stepmother, his so-called friends, and even his sister who he grew up with all chose to avoid him.
He couldn't find a reason not to hate them. But at the same time, he also thought about his cowardly self, and maybe he was the murderer who brought him to this end.
His body felt like a ghost pressing down on the bed, the intense numbness weakened from strong to weak, and the last nerves remained in his fingertips. Chu Qing realized that if even the numb pain subsided, he would be completely dead by then.
Is there any reason to continue to exist
Chu Qing was thinking about the girl fighting with the soul body on the glass bridge.
"I am willing to be the first person in the world who wants you to survive!"
This sentence kept echoing in Chu Qing's mind.
I want to see that girl again.
I want to go to my dad’s tombstone in person to say sorry.
want to…
The returning consciousness made Chu Qing sad. He swore to the boundless darkness in front of him, "I want to fight again for the only person in the world who wants me to survive."
Opening his eyes, Chu Qing found himself lying in a strange place.
He touched his chest. There was a strong foreign body sensation there. There was a round thing embedded in the skin. Judging from the material, it should be jade. The jade body was crystal clear and shining, with circles of patterns engraved on it. It looked like Much like the growth rings of a tree.
Chu Qing's first reaction was that this piece of jade was processed and didn't look like it was priceless.
Chu Qing tried to take it off, but found that the thing had grown into his body and could not be removed at all.
Is this what the girl left behind? Could it be that this piece of broken jade saved his life
He looked up and observed the room. There was a monitor installed in the center of the ceiling, and cameras were also placed in the four corners of the room. The decoration in the room was simple. In addition to the bed under him, there was a desk, a chair, and a bathroom.
Chu Qing got out of bed, came to the door, and turned the door handle. An unknown creature appeared in front of Chu Qing.
If he were a cartoon character, he would definitely scare the children to the point of peeing. He has a strong physique like a top wrestler, with a leopard head on his round shoulders, a shiny suit and leather shoes, and a red tie. Is this cosplay
Chu Qing shook his head to clear his thoughts.
"Are you a kidnapper? Wearing such a realistic hood scares people to death. But unfortunately, I am no longer a rich second generation. There is no point in kidnapping me. No one will pay you a ransom, so let me go. Otherwise, let me go. It’s not worth it for you to have to take care of my food and drink.”
Leopard Head didn't answer. He just pointed inside the house.
"You mean, you told me to stay here, right? But my answer is that I can't. I want to leave now. You have no right to restrict my freedom."
Leopard Head still didn't answer. Chu Qing planned to force a breakthrough.
But Leopard Tou's strong body was like a wall. No matter how Chu Qing collided, Leopard Tou remained as stable as a mountain.
Helpless, Chu Qing could only change his strategy. It seemed that he had to put it away first.
Chu Qing took a few steps back, and then used the force of his sprint to kick the leopard's head with a flying kick.
Leopard Tou turned his body slightly to avoid the flying kick, and then quickly punched, hitting Chu Qing's face with a powerful electric cannon.
Chu Qing felt a flash of golden light in front of his eyes, and the effect was even more dazzling than the flashlight in the bar.
Then Leopard Tou made a gesture, as if to tell Chu Qing not to struggle needlessly, and then closed the door again.
In order to avoid being beaten again, Chu Qing could only choose to stay in the room. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I have nowhere else to go. It seems good to stay here. I just don’t know if they provide food here! Feeling a little hungry already.
So Chu Qing decided to ask, so he came to the room again and opened the door. As expected, the leopard head was still standing there.
"Don't... don't get excited. I just want to ask you, do you care about the food? I'm hungry, bring me a steak, medium rare. Also, you can't just sit here, and you can't stare at the ceiling all day. Ah. Get me some entertainment, a PS4? A mobile phone? Even a radio."
Leopard Tou didn't look at him, but picked up the phone. He pressed it twice casually, and then tried to close the door, but was stopped by Chu Qing.
"Well, am I too demanding? If there is no steak, I can still eat pizza. If I don't have the above entertainment equipment, I can just find two girls to chat with me."
Leopard Tou ignored Chu Qing completely, pushed him into the house and closed the door again.
After a while, Chu Qing's request was responded to. Baotou handed him a lunch box and a newspaper.
The gap is too big. The steak becomes a lunch box and the PAD becomes a newspaper. Think about it, it’s okay, it’s better than nothing.
Chu Qing picked up the chopsticks and read the newspaper while eating the lunch.
First of all, he made sure that he was still in Tianjin, because this was a morning newspaper from Tianjin. And assuming this is a new newspaper, it has been five days since he was kicked out of the house by his stepmother.
Then, on the front page of the newspaper, the headline news was the murder of his father.
Because I couldn't face this matter before, I never fully understood the whole process of my father's murder.
The newspaper said that the murderer had been brought to justice. The robbers were a criminal group that specifically targeted wealthy people, and they were all killed during the pursuit.
While reviewing the case, Chu Qing also saw photos of the scene when his father died. and the murder weapon.
He read the newspaper at close range. Before sadness could flood his heart, Chu Qing's eyes widened.
It's strange no matter how you think about it. Dad spent a lot of money to form a bodyguard team, and there seems to be free soul guards in the team. Why were they not around when he was killed
Moreover, my father died of a gunshot wound, but the suits he usually wore were specially treated to be bulletproof and could not be penetrated by ordinary guns. However, in this photo, all of my father's wounds were frontal penetrating wounds.
Most importantly, in the photo of the murder scene, Chu Qing saw that his father still had the pen shown to him on his chest, and his father's hand only protected the pen on his chest.
Putting the newspaper on the table, Chu Qing suddenly realized that in this world, only he and his father knew that it was not actually a pen.
