Parallel Lines of Rebirth

Chapter 64: Give you another choice

Views: NaN

After Ji Su helped her mother to sleep, she sat alone in the living room in a daze. After Su Rui came back yesterday, Xu Yao also left with her. When she left, she told her to trust Wen Liang and that he would definitely find a way to help solve the problem. Xu Yao spoke in a very confident tone, as if in her mind, the seemingly ordinary boy could do anything. Ji Su was infected by her determined eyes, and she was also full of confidence waiting for Wen Liang to create a miracle.

An hour passed, two hours passed, a night passed, a day passed...

There was no news from Wen Liang, and Ji Su told herself again and again that he would find a way, just wait a little longer, there would definitely be one! In this self-hypnosis, Ji Su persisted for a whole day, and when night fell, she finally despaired.

Yes, even though Xu Yao's father is the municipal party secretary, how could adults save strangers just because of a child's words? I know, you are comforting me, I know...

Ji Su walked onto the balcony and looked at the starry sky. She, who had never believed in God, knelt down for the first time. The ground in October was freezing cold. The girl in thin white clothes closed her eyes and clasped her hands in front of her chest. Her long eyelashes trembled in the breeze. Two lines of crystal clear tears flowed down her pretty face, reflecting the entire starry sky in an instant.

Are there any gods above the heavens looking down upon the world, knowing that all living beings are suffering

Wen Liang pushed the door and got out of the car. He looked up and saw this scene on the second-floor balcony. The sixteen-year-old boy stood next to the car with his hands hanging down by his legs, like a sculpture, motionless. Ji Su opened his eyes and immediately saw Wen Liang next to the car downstairs. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then jumped up, climbed on the railing and stretched out his waist, waving his arms and shouting, "Wait for me!"

He turned around and disappeared on the balcony.

Zuo Yuxi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, couldn't help but sigh: "Looking at a girl like this, I realized that we all seem to be a little mean..."

Wen Liang said expressionlessly: "I am despicable, and I am proud!"

Zuo Yuxi burst out laughing and rolled her eyes at him unhappily.

Just after eleven o'clock in the evening, the Economic Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Bureau was silent. In a bungalow near the parking space on the left, a faint light shone through the curtains that were not tightly drawn. Ji Zheng was suddenly transferred to a detention location at five o'clock this morning. With Mu Zechen's promise, he naturally thought that this was a pre-release operation. He was able to keep his composure and did not say a word during the transfer, which saved Liu Tianlai a lot of trouble. Lian Zizhong, the director of the Nangong Branch, had no choice but to release him after receiving a call from Zhao Xinchuan. Anyway, these matters were handled by the higher-ups, and he could also give an explanation to Yuan Dazhu. It's okay for friends to help, but you can't let me help you with my head on the line, right? That's not called a friend, that's called cheating me!

Ji Zheng stayed in a single room with complete facilities for a day. The treatment was much better than that in the South Engineering Institute. He had a TV to watch and could take a shower. Except that he could not contact the outside world or leave the room, he was no different from ordinary people. This made him more convinced that the decision he made last night was correct. Apart from Mu Zechen, Qingzhou could not find anyone who could help him so wholeheartedly and possess such terrifying power.

The process is not important, the means are not important, the result is the most important! From ancient times to the present, all successful people are like this!

He has no choice!

When he was brought to meet someone again at night, Ji Zheng had a premonition. When he opened the door, what caught his eyes was Ji Su's tearful smile. Ji Zheng smiled and opened his arms to hug his daughter, stroking her hair. If it weren't for last night, from now on, even wanting to hug his daughter like this would become an unattainable luxury. The heart that melted the moment he saw his daughter immediately became hard again.

"Susu, why are you here?"

Ji Su got into the car right after leaving home. When he saw his father here, his heart was still pounding. "A classmate of mine brought me in. Dad, don't worry. He said he would help us!"

At this time, Ji Su had no doubt about Wen Liang. Since he could bring her to see her father so quickly, what reason did she have to doubt his ability? However, she didn't know that Ji Zheng heard these words in a different way. He pondered for a long time, asked his daughter to sit on the chair, then knelt in front of her and stared into her eyes.

"Ji Su, Dad's situation this time is very serious..."

After hearing everything, Ji Su was already at a loss, but he still held Ji Zheng's hand and comforted him: "It's okay, Dad. My classmate promised to help you. He must have a way!"

Ji Zheng smiled bitterly. Of course he had a way, but the price was so high that you and I couldn't afford it. However, at this point, Ji Zheng finally made up his mind and said, "Your classmate certainly has a way. Minghua Group is rich and powerful. There is almost nothing they can't do in Qingzhou. Dad's little thing is not worth mentioning in their eyes. Yesterday, Mu Zechen came to see me and told me about your classmate's conditions. If Dad wants to be fine, unless... unless..."

Ji Su stood up in shock: "Minghua Group? What does this have to do with my classmate?"

Ji Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Your classmate Gu Wenyuan is the eldest son of Minghua Group. He wants you to be his girlfriend before he can rescue Dad. I... I promised him!"

"What?" Ji Su was stunned, and couldn't believe her ears. Her beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Ji Zheng squatting on the ground, "Dad, what did you say?"

Ji Zheng stood up slowly, as if a heavy burden was on his back. The few seconds seemed to last for thousands of years. He turned his back to his daughter and said calmly, "Gu Wenyuan agreed to help me get rid of the crime. The only request was that I convince you to be his girlfriend. Susu, Gu Wenyuan has a good family background and is a good person. He should be a good match for you. Although you are young now, you should cultivate your relationship first and talk about it after you are admitted to university..."

"Stop it! Please, stop it!"

Ji Su's last remaining fantasy was finally shattered. She never thought that her father, who she had always respected, loved, and upright, would suddenly become a different person. How could he say such shameless words? Is there a father in the world who sells his daughter in exchange for freedom? Maybe there is, maybe not, but in any case, it should not be the man in front of her!

Have you ever heard the cry from the soul when falling from heaven to hell

That's the sound of a broken heart!

Ji Su stepped back step by step, pointing at Ji Zheng's back, her whole body trembling violently, tears already streaming down her cheeks without her noticing. Her voice seemed to come from the depths of her lungs, hoarse, heavy, and filled with a kind of grief as if she had lost her heart: "Girlfriend, huh, girlfriend? Do you know what he wanted when I went to ask him? He wanted me to be his woman, woman, do you understand?"

Is there anything more cruel in the world than this

Wen Liang, who had been staying next door, rushed over, kicked the door open, and walked straight to Ji Su, who was already crying. Without even looking at Ji Zheng, he took her hand and walked out. When he passed by Zuo Yuxi, Zuo Yuxi grabbed him and whispered, "Calm down, it's important!"

Wen Liang's face turned pale, and after a while he said, "You talk to him first, I'll go and settle Ji Su." Zuo Yuxi nodded in understanding, pointed at Ji Su who was already stunned, and said silently: Take good care of her.

Zuo Yuxi looked away and closed the door after watching Wen Liang pulling Ji Su, who was like a puppet, up to the second floor not far away. She stared at Ji Zheng for a while, as if she wanted to take a closer look at this person, and said, "Director Ji, I'm Zuo Yuxi!"

Ji Zheng knew that he had made a mistake. This classmate was not the same classmate, but this person was so thick-skinned that Zuo Yuxi was amazed. He was caught doing such an ugly thing, but he could still keep his face calm. He pulled a chair over and sat down, saying, "It turns out to be Director Zuo. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

"I don't deserve your advice. I'm here to save Director Ji from danger."

Ji Zheng laughed: "Okay, what about you, what do you want to take from me?"

"No, not only will I not take it," Zuo Yuxi's eyes were full of sarcasm, "On the contrary, I want to give Director Ji a great future and great wealth!"

Wen Liang helped Ji Su sit down on the bed. Looking at her dazed look, he knew that any persuasion would be futile. He held her hand with his thumb, index finger and middle finger and gently kneaded it. He had made some progress in internal martial arts, and with a little force he could penetrate the acupuncture points on her hands and temporarily relieve the depression in her heart and liver.

"Cry, and you'll find that it's okay after crying. You can get through anything. Although Gu Wenyuan is ugly, short, mean, irritable, and unpopular, he doesn't have any major problems. If you really don't like him, why don't you take a look at me? Although I'm not that handsome, I'm pretty anyway..."

Maybe it was because this distortion of right and wrong was too shameless, Ji Su wanted to laugh at first, but ended up bursting into tears. He turned around and kept beating Wen Liang's chest with both hands: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's all your fault..."

Wen Liang was beaten so hard that he could hardly breathe, but he could only force himself to hold back. He interacted with Ji Su in the gap between his fists: "Yes, it's all my fault, it's all our fault... Cry, everything will be over after crying..."

After a good cry, Ji Su finally calmed down a little and sat on the bed with his back against the wall. Wen Liang found a thermos behind the door, poured some into the washbasin, then put a finger in to test the temperature. He jumped up suddenly as if by reflex, pinched his earlobe with his fingers, and made a weird face with his teeth bared. Ji Su looked at Wen Liang's busy figure with tears in her eyes. It was him who kicked open the door and rushed out to save her on the rooftop. It was also him who gave her the confidence to persevere at home. It was also him who suddenly appeared downstairs when she was most desperate and helpless and prayed to God devoutly. Do you remember the feeling that even her heart stopped beating at that moment? I will never forget the figure of the tall boy standing by the car in my life. He was tall, safe, and full of hope. At that moment, he was the angel who saved me!

It was he who brought him the biggest surprise tonight, and it was also him who broke into his room once again when he was cruelly sent to hell by his father. These different figures, intersecting in different time and space, were either laughing, or solemn, or gentle, or rude, and finally overlapped on this silly boy who was running around with a washbasin in his hand.

Looking at Wen Liang's back, I somehow remembered my father. When I was seven years old, it was snowing heavily outside in the winter. At three o'clock in the middle of the night, I had a high fever. At that time, my family was still in the suburbs. My father didn't even have time to put on his cotton clothes. He carried me on his back and ran more than ten miles to the hospital. The doctor said that if I was sent to the hospital later, it would be difficult to treat encephalitis. After so many years, Ji Su still clearly remembers that night. There was a lot of sweat on his father's neck. While running, he kept saying, Su Su, don't be afraid, Su Su is so good...

It must have been painful for him to say that? It must have been sad for him to make that choice? Thinking about it, the feeling of the world collapsing just now seemed to slowly fade away as Wen Liang walked around.

He is right, cry and everything will be fine!

Wen Liang finally turned the hot water into warm water, held the basin in front of Ji Su, and said softly: "Wash your face, the little cat is not very good-looking." He said this twice, and seeing that Ji Su was still staring at him blankly, he sighed slightly and turned around to put down the basin.

Ji Su had been experiencing all seven emotions in the past few days: joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and shock. His emotions had fluctuated greatly, and Wen Liang had taken such careful care of him that he could no longer hold back the impulse that suddenly surged in his heart. The moment Wen Liang turned around, he suddenly hugged him and put his face gently against his back.

Well, it feels like my father...

Wen Liang's body suddenly stiffened, and the washbasin fell to the ground with a bang. The clear water splashed over the soles of Wen Liang's feet, just like the passing years spilled all over the ground in this green season.

After a long while, Ji Su pushed Wen Liang away with a cry, her pretty face flushed, and she turned her head away and refused to look at her again. Wen Liang swore to God that she had absolutely no bad intentions towards Ji Su, but in the situation just now, she wanted to find a touch of support, and no matter what, she could not refuse this poor little girl. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous. Wen Liang still maintained the posture when he was hugged by her. After a while, he turned his back to her and whispered: "Don't worry, leave everything to me. Get some sleep and don't think about anything. Everything will be fine when you wake up tomorrow..."

There was a knock on the door. Wen Liang took the cup of water from Liu Tianlai and coaxed Ji Su to drink it. Soon, Ji Su fell asleep. The public security system prepared this kind of sleeping pills, and the dosage was absolutely accurate. It can make people fall into a deep sleep without affecting health. Wen Liang sat silently beside Ji Su for a long time, sighed for a long time, covered her with the corner of the quilt, and turned away.

At this time, the negotiation between Zuo Yuxi and Ji Zheng was also deadlocked. Ji Zheng smiled and said, "Director Zuo, I'm sorry to offend you. As far as Qingzhou is concerned, not to mention Gu Shitong, whether it's Xu Fuyan or Zhou Yuanting, their words carry more weight than yours, Director Zuo. I'm willing to believe you, but you have to understand that this is Qingzhou, not Lingyang! If you were me, what would you choose?"

Zuo Yuxi was speechless. Wen Liang just pushed the door open and said loudly: "If I were you, I would choose myself!"
