Decades ago, Lin, the "school beauty" of Dongye Girls' Vocational School, fell in love with Guo Yong, a young substitute teacher. Guo Yong is only a few years older than her, handsome in appearance and modest in person. After only a few classes, he has attracted the attention of many female students.
In those days, falling in love was far less free than it is now. Although there is no such thing as "the life of the parents and the words of the matchmaker", there are very few girls who take the initiative to pursue the man they like.
Lin Xi is an exception.
She likes Guo Yong, so she goes after Guo Yong and shows her full love to Guo Yong.
The Lin family is an intellectual family. Compared with many parents, Lin's parents and Lin's mother are much more open-minded and believe that it is not a "disrespectful" thing for a woman to pursue a man.
It is rare for someone to have no good feelings for such a beautiful, excellent and enthusiastic girl as Lin Xi. But before Lin Xi graduated, Guo Yong always kept the distance between teachers and students. When Lin Xi was no longer a student, the two could confirm their relationship.
Compared with Lin Xi's family, the Guo family is much more ordinary, and it is no different from the vast majority of working people at the bottom of the city. Guo Yong's younger sister Guo Shanmu and Lin Xi have a good relationship. Before my brother and sister-in-law got married, Guo Shanmu quietly asked Lin Xi, "Sister, what should you name your brother's child?"
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Peace. Whether it's a boy or a girl, my best wishes to him are a lifetime of peace."
Shortly after the marriage, Lin Xi gave birth to a baby boy, who was seriously named Guo Ping'an.
This child became the most distressed baby of the Lin and Guo families.
At that time, women gradually entered various positions in society. After Guo Ping'an turned half a year old, Lin Xi found a clerical job in the Chu Group.
At that time, the Chu family had not grown to the current scale, and Lin Xi felt that it was very meaningful to grow with a company.
But how could she be naive to know that it was this job that pushed her and her family into the abyss.
In the first two years of Lin Xi's work in Chu, everything was calm. The Chu family made great progress under the leadership of the young leader, Chu Linxiong. Many female employees at the grassroots level are talking about this talented and handsome man in private. Lin Xi has met Chu Linxiong once and admits that the other person is a good-looking person, and his work ability is nothing to say, but Lin Xi has never participated in the girls’ meetings. "anthomaniac".
Because the man in her family is the best man in her heart.
The turning point occurred in the third year.
With Lin Xi's position, no matter what, there was no chance to contact Chu Linxiong. But there was a small problem with a project that day, and Chu Linxiong personally asked about it, just in the department where Lin Xi worked.
When Lin Xi was studying, she was as beautiful as a girl, like a rose bud soaked with dew in the morning. Now she is a mother and a woman, and her appearance is even more charming.
Chu Linxiong fell in love at first sight.
After that, Chu Linxiong, who was caught by both hands in the shopping mall's love scene, actually "cleaned his heart and few desires" for a long time, and drove away all those lovers who had become vulgar fans in his eyes, and pursued Lin Xi wholeheartedly.
Lin Xi was amazed and said one after another that he was married and refused to accept Chu Linxiong's pursuit.
Who is Chu Linxiong? None of the women he saw did not surrender to him.
The more Lin Xi refused, the more he wanted to get Lin Xi.
As a last resort, Lin Xi could only give up his favorite job to avoid Chu Linxiong.
But for Chu Linxiong, it was too easy to find a woman whose whole family lived in Dongye City.
The Lin and Guo families lost their former warmth and tranquility because of Chu Linxiong. Chu Linxiong not only continued to harass Lin Xi, but also caused Guo Yong to lose his job, and even threatened to kill Guo Ping'an.
Lin Xi and Guo Yong also called the police. They thought of everything they could think of, but they still couldn't get rid of Chu Linxiong.
The only way out is for the family to leave Dongye City and fly away from now on. Even if Chu Linxiong has the ability, he probably won't be able to chase after him.
But the Lin family and the Guo family have long been rooted in Dongye City. Lin Xi and Guo Yong can take Guo Ping'an and leave, but what about the parents of the two families
After thinking about it, Lin Xi decided to stay.
Soon, however, something unexpected happened to the Lin and Guo families—Lin Xi was kidnapped and raped by Chu Linxiong in broad daylight, and then detained in the Chu family. When he was released a year later, he had described Withered, like a dead man.
In the Chu family, she gave birth to a boy to Chu Linxiong, named Chu Xin.
Lin Xi was mad and sometimes sane. In the past year, the Lin and Guo families have been tortured to such an extent. Lin's father and Lin's mother passed away one after another, and Guo's father was also in bed.
Guo Yong did everything he could to take care of his wife and young son, hoping that one day, his wife would be able to think about it and get better.
Compared with Lin Xi, who is insane, Chu Linxiong is the real lunatic.
In the past, before Lin Xi gave birth to him, he threatened to kill Guo Ping'an. Now that Lin Xi has given birth to a boy, his hatred for Guo Ping'an has intensified.
"You can only give me one child." Chu Linxiong said: "The others, you have to die when you are born!"
Lin Xi woke up once, hugged Guo Ping'an and cried, and said to Guo Yong, "Stay safe in our house, and one day you will be killed."
The experience of the past two years or more has worn away all the edges and corners of Guo Yong.
He no longer believes that there is justice in this world, and just wants to protect his wife and children, even if he lives.
"But where can we send Ping An?" Guo Yong said, "The Chu family knows which relatives we have."
Lin Xi shook his head, "When I was studying, I had a good sister. We have neglected contact over the years, but she is very kind and treats me very well. She... She should help me!"
Desperate, Lin Xi and Guo Ping'an secretly found her classmate Bai Hong.
Bai Hong was the first of all the female students to get married. She married Qin Anqiang, who came from the countryside to work hard in the city. The two had a happy and happy family, and they had a son who was much older than Guo Ping'an.
After hearing about Lin Xi's experiences over the years, Bai Hong decided to help Lin Xi after discussing it with her husband, and said to the outside world that the child who suddenly appeared was the youngest son who had been raised in Qin Anqiang's hometown.
Lin Xi said goodbye to Guo Ping'an, and changed his name to Qin Ying personally - because Bai Hong's son's name was Qin Xiong, Qin Ying and Qin Xiong were brothers.
Bai Hong negotiated with Lin Xi, and when Chu Linxiong was tired of Lin Xi and the danger was over, he would send the child back.
However, neither Lin Xi nor Guo Yong survived until the day when Chu Linxiong was tired.
Chu Linxiong had many illegitimate children. He neither brought them into his home nor denied their existence. He only favored Chu Xin, saying that Chu Xin was his nephew, and he treated Chu Xin more than he was born to his wife. The son is even better.
But to Lin Xi, what he gave was endless torture.
He thought he could get Lin Xi's heart, but after years of entanglement, Lin Xi even gave birth to his child, and he still loved the poor and useless scholar Guo Yong.
He couldn't make Lin fall in love with him, he had to make Lin hate him.
Only hate has the same weight as love.
Finally, in the midst of madness and pain, the brightest "school beauties" in the past chose to commit suicide and stayed away from Chu Linxiong, leaving behind her children and husband.
Before committing suicide, Lin Xi didn't take another look at Qin Ying.
After that, Guo Yong died in a car accident, and no one knew whether the car accident was accidental or man-made.
Or, Guo Yong, who no longer has any nostalgia for life, took the initiative to walk towards the rolling traffic.
After the death of his biological parents, Guo Pingan still lived in the Qin family as Qin Ying.
From beginning to end, Bai Hong's kindness and Qin Anqiang's honesty and honesty, they treat Qin Ying as their own son, and they treat Qin Ying better than Qin Xiong in many cases.
When Lin Xi and Guo Yong were alive, they did not register Qin Ying with a household registration because they knew that one day in the future, Qin Ying would return to her parents. Later, when Lin Xi and Guo Yong were gone, the couple didn't think about giving Qin Ying a household registration, and they settled down. But if they did, they would probably be found out. Qin Ying was "stolen" many years ago. Guo Ping'an.
The Chu family became stronger and stronger, and Chu Linxiong had more lovers and sons. Everything seemed to return to the original track until 21 years ago, 16-year-old Qin Ying suddenly disappeared.
Qin Ying was Guo Ping'an. The Qin couple kept their mouths shut. Lin Xi only told Guo Shanmu when he was awake and asked Guo Shanmu to swear that if something happened to him in the future, he would help take care of Guo Ping'an.
After Qin Ying disappeared, Bai Hong found Guo Shanmu and kept apologizing.
Guo Shanmu guessed at that time that Qin Ying's disappearance was not that simple, otherwise Bai Hong would not feel so guilty.
But at the time, she still couldn't understand what happened to Qin Ying.
Lin Xi's advice was still in his ears, and the moments of getting along with his brother and sister-in-law when he was young seemed to be just yesterday, but everything was different after all. Guo Shanmu chose to remain silent, no longer asked about anything related to Qin Ying, kept all the secrets he knew in his heart, and devoted himself to running his own family.
The old house was filled with heavy silence, and the old grievances were pressed down one after another, and the unwillingness and pain seemed to have substance, covering the old man's body.
Her eyelids covered almost all the light in her eyes, and her hands were tightly clasped together to smooth out those goose-skin wrinkles.
"They thought that Chu Linxiong didn't know where the peace was, but in fact Chu Linxiong knew everything." For a moment, Guo Shanmu wiped his tears and said slowly: "We little people, what can we hide from Chu Linxiong, he It's just that I didn't do anything directly to Ping An. I'm also getting old, so I understand this truth."
"Chu Linxiong knew Qin Ying's identity early in the morning?" Xiao Yu'an was not surprised, "Then he also knows, do you know the secret?"
Guo Shan's eyes trembled, "Yes. I, Lin Xi, and my brother were all young before. We hid Ping An because we were afraid that Chu Linxiong would hurt Ping An. After all, people like Chu Linxiong can do anything, and we , we have no ability to resist, we can only hide. After they all left, I began to realize that Chu Linxiong knew that Ping An was at Bai Hong's house, but he never did it because... "
As if unable to continue, Guo Shan lowered his head and sighed heavily.
"It's because Chu Xin was born with a heart disease." Xiao Yu'an said, "Chu Linxiong may have never thought of killing Guo Ping'an. A half-brother—would be the best donor."
Guo Shan wiped his tears and nodded slightly, "Lin Xi told me that Chu Xin had a problem with his heart, but we didn't know at that time that Chu Linxiong had long been eyeing Ping An's heart. After Ping Ping disappeared, I thought for a while. Ping An was arrested by Chu Linxiong to perform surgery on Chu Xin. I traveled all over the hospitals in Dongye City, but I did not hear any news, but I learned from a doctor that not all patients with heart disease are suitable for transplant surgery. This operation is done when other treatment methods are no longer effective. I guess, Chu Xin's disease can't develop so fast, and peace should not be in Chu Linxiong's hands. Yes, never come back, never show up again…”
The old man's hope was finally in vain. Chu Linxiong could find Qin Ying when Guo Ping'an was "stolen", and he could also lock Bai Ying after Qin Ying "disappeared". The difference was only in the energy and time spent.
Qin Xiong pushed Qin Ying off a cliff in Qiyue Mountain, which was an unexpected episode of Chu Linxiong. Chu Xin's illness has not progressed to the point where a transplant operation is necessary. If the situation is good, maybe he won't have to do that "short-lived" transplant operation in his life, but Chu Linxiong doesn't dare to take it lightly. If Qin Ying dies, he wants to see him. When it comes to the body, if Qin Ying is still alive, she will always be Chu Xin's donor.
Guo Shanmu doesn't know what happened next. To this day, she still believes that her hard-working nephew lives in a place she doesn't know, just like her own child, with a new family and an ordinary life. Life.
Xiao Yuan told her that the police would definitely find out the truth of the year. She was in tears, holding Xiao Yuan's hand, and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you..."
Guo Shanmu was taken as a key witness and protected by the police. Her accusation against Chu Linxiong was full of blood and tears, from the bottom of her heart, but what the serious crime team must do now is not to bring Chu Linxiong to justice, but to act like a Just like protecting Guo Shanmu, protect Chu Linxiong and Chu Xin.
Someone avenged Qin Ying, and this person's ultimate goal was either Chu Linxiong or Chu Xin.
Chu Linxiong is still the chairman of the Chu Group in name, but he no longer cares about the group's affairs. He will only appear on some important occasions. Currently, Chu Qing is in charge of the Chu Group. There have always been rumors within the Chu family that Chu Linxiong did not take the initiative to hand over power to Chu Qing, but was gradually placed under house arrest by this thoughtful latecomer.
The last time Chu Linxiong appeared in the public eye was in the first half of this year, and he has been recuperating in Nanquan Manor on the outskirts of the city since then.
Xiao Yuan looked at the white-haired old man lying on the bed, and it was difficult for him to associate him with the all-powerful business wizard and the madman.
Once a person is old, he becomes a weak person, his power is easily taken away by his own son, and his body is tortured by illness.
Chu Linxiong has been strong and committed many evils in his life. This is probably the first time he has experienced the misery of being a weak person and being trampled on by others.
"Police?" Chu Linxiong struggled to hold up his body, his voice was hoarse, but his tone was still full of strong contempt, "I'm not afraid of the police, what can the police do to me? Come on, I want to investigate me again this time. what?"
Xiao Yuan looked down at Chu Linxiong calmly and said three words: "Guo Ping'an."
Chu Linxiong's expression suddenly changed, and three seconds later he said dumbly, "Who are you talking about?"
"Guo Ping'an." Xiao Yuan's words were clear, and every name spit out from his mouth was loud, "Lin Xi, Guo Yong."
Chu Linxiong had already sat up, with his mouth half open, but made no sound.
Xiao Yuan actually saw a trace of guilt in his eyes.
It turns out that when the devil runs out of fuel, he will also repent of what he has done in the past
But what is the use of such repentance
"It seems that you still remember them." Xiao Yu'an said, "Guo Ping'an, Qin Ying, Bai Ying, seven years ago, it was your subordinates who bought the prison guard Gong Guozhen of Jingli No. 2 Prison and obtained the prisoner Bai Ying from him. Then Bai Ying was sent to country B by you, where your illegitimate son, Chu Xin, got Bai Ying's heart."
After a short silence, Chu Linxiong said, "Nonsense!"
"You can think that I'm talking nonsense, but have you ever thought about why I'm here to talk nonsense to you now?" Xiao Yuan said, "It's not easy to see you, Mr. Chu, your son, Chu Qing, has set us up no matter what. less obstacles."
Hearing the word "Chu Qing", Chu Linxiong showed a look of disgust and hatred on his face, just like an old wolf king who had to give up his throne to a young and powerful heir.
"That bastard!" Chu Linxiong said.
Xiao Yu'an said: "I came to see you partly because someone exposed your many crimes to the police, and partly because..."
Chu Linxiong interrupted with a cold snort, "Expose the crime?"
"Listen to me." Xiao Yu'an was not serious, but his voice was faintly chilling, "Half of it was because someone wanted to touch your precious son."
Chu Linxiong's old face wrinkled, and his eyes showed the light that belonged to a businessman.
"Decades ago, you forced Lin Xi to give birth to a child for you, and then you drove her crazy and destroyed her family. You can deny this. It is indeed difficult for the police to find evidence. But..." Xiao Yuan paused, "Seven Years ago, through Gong Guozhen, you took the prisoner Bai Ying, took his heart, and transplanted it to Chu Xin, and we will soon get the evidence."
Chu Linxiong said vigilantly, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"I'm here, of course not to ask you to provide evidence on your own initiative. It is our police's job to investigate the case." Xiao Yu'an said, "I want to remind you that someone has been avenging Guo Ping'an since two years ago. Gong Guozhen is dead. Cao Fenghuai, who put Guo Ping'an in prison, has also died. Not long ago, even Guo Ping's titular brother Qin Xiong died. They are all people who hurt Guo Ping'an, and the Chu who took Guo Ping's life in the end Faith, can you be spared?"
Since being eroded by Chu Qing and "exiled" here in the name of recuperation, Chu Linxiong has lost the channel to communicate with the outside world, and even seeing Chu Xin is even more difficult.
Looking at Chu Linxiong who was suddenly at a loss, Xiao Yuan said, "I need your cooperation to help the police find this person who avenged Guo Ping'an."
Chu Linxiong didn't speak for a long time, first stared at Xiao Yu'an's eyes, then looked elsewhere, and finally said with a dry smile: "You are trying to trick me into admitting something I haven't done!"
Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "I'm here to save your son Chu Xin from becoming the next ghost of the 'Avengers'."
Time seemed to stagnate, and the increasingly heavier breathing sounded in the air.
Xiao Yuan remained calm, while Chu Linxiong gradually lost his dignity and asked in a trembling voice, "That person... that person killed so many people later?"
Xiao Yu'an said, "'that person'? You knew him early on?"
After a long time, Chu Linxiong sighed and finally said, "There is a professor named Chi Mingyue at QE University in Country B, who jumped from the hospital upstairs four years ago and died."
Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Chi Mingyue?"
Jingli City Bureau.
It is very likely that the person who sent the New Year's gifts to Qiao Ying was the one who wanted revenge for Qin Ying, but it was a big problem to lock the identity of this person. One was that the payer was an overseas account, and the other was that the account had not been connected to any phone in the past four years. traded on the merchant platform.
To investigate this person, of course, the formal way is to seek international cooperation, but once this is done, the problem of time-consuming and inefficiency cannot be avoided. Shen Xun wanted to hand over the task to the information warfare team, but received a call from Liu Zhiqin in time.
The special action team investigated the case in Han Province. Although Liu Zhiqin was in Luocheng, he was also aware of the case in Hongcheng in the same province. After communicating with Shen Xun, he took the initiative to take over the task on the Internet.
Before the identity of the sender of the New Year's gifts was found out, Mingshu learned through careful investigation that Qin Ying was keen on learning English for a while, and had studied with a student for a long time.
"There is such a person, but he doesn't live with us." Qiao Ying said, "I'm younger than A Ying, a student who just graduated from high school. At that time, A Ying told me that he participated in the community English class. , The teachers are all middle school students and teach them English voluntarily. That student has a good relationship with Ah Ying and even came to our house for dinner. "
Mingshu asked, "Do you remember his name?"
Qiao Ying thought for a long time, "Aying calls him Xiao Yi."
Mingshu asked, "Which YI is it?"
"I don't know." Qiao Ying shook his head, but with a loving smile on his lips, his eyes crossed Mingshu's body and looked elsewhere, as if he saw the child he missed, "Elder Ah Ying told me that he didn't He has studied and has no culture, and most envy those who are knowledgeable. He is very tired from work, but since the community held a study class, he took time to go to class, learned it, and came back to teach me to speak English. "
Mingshu couldn't bear to interrupt Qiao Ying, but he still asked, "Do you have Bai Ying's original textbook or workbook here?"
"Yes, I keep all Aying's things." Qiao Ying found three old English books, "Also, you look at it first, I will continue to get it."
The English books are all junior high school textbooks. Mingshu quickly flipped through them and saw different names and different handwritings on them.
Seems to be second-hand books.
Qiao Ying found a few more books. These books were obviously from different junior high school students, but each had the same handwriting. Comparing Qin Ying's notebook, it could be seen that it was Qin Ying's handwriting.
But in addition to these handwriting, many books have another kind of handwriting.
The person who can write and draw in Qin Ying's book is most likely Qin Ying's teacher, most likely the "little YI" that Qiao Ying said.
The community study class on Muming Street has only been held for less than two years, and the current community activity room has been transformed into a mahjong hall for the elderly. Mingshu found the secretary of the neighborhood committee who managed the study class that year, and the other party took a lot of effort to find the list of teachers.
"Why are you checking this? They are all high school students and college students nearby."
Mingshu scanned the list, looking for people with "YI" in their names.
Suddenly, his eyebrows tightened, and his eyes stopped on a name below the paper.
Luo Yi.
