The rest of my life fast pace version
Volume 1
Chapter 29
Qin Nan sent Ye Sibei away and drove back home. At this time, Zhang Yong was sitting in Yang Qiyu's room. Mrs. Yang took the children to the playground for a stroll. Yang Qiyu lowered his head.
"At that time, I had just started working, and Qin Nan was the first student I taught. He was a left-behind child, and his grandfather raised him since he was a child. He was a hanger-on in school since he was a child, and he didn't get into high school, so his father used all his savings to buy him a high school. I remember that he was very thin at that time, and didn't like to talk much. He hung out with a group of young men from the city in class, slept in class, or skipped classes to play games. At first, I really didn't like this child, and I often taught him a lesson. I wanted to withdraw him from school several times, but his father and grandfather came to the school to beg, and once they knelt in front of me. I couldn't bear it, so I kept him. Later, one day, he suddenly came to ask me if he still had hope in studying. I told him that no one has no hope, and that he should come to my house in the future and I would give him extra lessons."
"At that time, I taught him because his father was in such a miserable state and he was willing to study. He had a poor foundation and had not studied much since childhood. His mind was not flexible and he worked hard for a long time every time, but his grades did not improve much. He often came to me with scars. Later, I realized that he did not want to hang out with those brothers, so they left him alone."
"Actually, I don't quite understand," Yang Qiyu shook his head, "What on earth are these kids thinking?"
"and after?"
"Later, when I got to know him well, I took good care of him. I asked him why he suddenly changed his temper. He said that everyone had told him that they were trash and destined to be like their father, who was not good at studying and had no success in school. When they were old enough, they would go out to work. But he didn't think so. He always wondered if he could give it a try, but he was afraid of failure, so he simply didn't try."
"But he saw a girl in the next class. He saw her parents scolding her at the school gate and heard others laughing at her, but she always insisted on studying and was never disturbed. He thought, I can give it a try."
"That person is Ye Sibei?"
Zhang Yong asked, and Yang Qiyu nodded: "At that time, Ye Sibei was in the key class, and his classroom was just opposite Qin Nan's. Qin Nan sat by the window, and Ye Sibei was sitting next to him. I often saw Qin Nan looking at Ye Sibei."
Hearing this, Zhang Yong was puzzled: "I thought their relationship was just average. I've known Qin Nan for three years, and I've basically never heard anything about Ye Sibei from him. The first time I heard about it was a divorce."
"So you're curious?"
Yang Qiyu poured tea for Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong nodded and joked, "He deliberately concealed what he had done. What if he was involved in some crime? I am a criminal police officer, so I still have to be sensitive."
"Don't worry about that. Qin Nan has no case, and his feelings for Si Bei... are not love."
Zhang Yong paused in his action of holding the teacup, and Yang Qiyu continued calmly: "He and Sibei have only met a few times, and they have hardly spoken to each other directly. I asked him if he liked Ye Sibei, and he told me that it was not love, but because there was one thing he could not do, Ye Sibei gave him hope. So he really hopes that Ye Sibei can live a good life, because if Ye Sibei lives a good life, he will feel that this world can really change something through hard work, and he has the ability to live a good life in this world."
"Then by the end of his second year of high school, his grades will have improved a bit. If he continues to work hard, he might be able to get into a third-tier university, or even a second-tier university."
"But what?" Zhang Yong continued to ask. Yang Qiyu stopped talking. He held the cup in his hand and recalled something. "His father died."

“No recording.”
Ye Nianwen placed his phone face up on the table, turned on the screen, and quickly took out his pocket to comfort Zhao Chuchu who was sitting opposite him: "Don't worry."
Zhao Chuchu glanced at his actions, then turned her eyes to the still warm honey grapefruit tea on the table. This was the drink she always drank in the past. Every time, Ye Nianwen would order it for her in advance.
This detail made her pause. She lowered her eyes, reached out to hold the teacup, and felt the warmth of the teacup passing through her cold palm. She said softly, "Are you here to ask about your sister?"
"I came to ask you something."
Ye Nianwen looked at her calmly. Zhao Chuchu looked much more haggard than before. He felt a little sad and lowered his head to drink a sip of water. "I only asked you about my sister before. I want to ask you, how have you been recently?"
Zhao Chuchu held the cup, she was speechless, lowered her head for a long time: "You asked this question too late. You know," Zhao Chuchu raised her head, she looked at Ye Nianwen, "In fact, I have thought about this sentence for a long time. But it didn't come when it should have come, and it doesn't matter whether it's here now or not."
"I don't trust you, and you don't trust me," Zhao Chuchu controlled her tone, "Don't ask me anything else."
"On one side is good, on the other side is evil. Where she ends up will depend on how the world pushes her."
"How do you want to push her?"
Zhang Yong's words rang in Ye Nianwen's ears. He stared at the man in front of him and finally spoke: "Chu Chu, are you a good person or a bad person?"
"You can treat me as a bad guy."
Zhao Chuchu answered decisively. Ye Nianwen pondered for a moment, then took out the bug from his clothes and slapped it on the table. Zhao Chuchu looked at the bug calmly without any surprise.
"Bad people don't say they are bad people. They say they are bad people because their conscience condemns them."
Zhao Chuchu's eyes turned red when she heard this. Ye Nianwen turned off the bug in front of her.
"Tell me the truth for once."
"What truth do you want?"
"That time," Ye Nianwen said calmly, "what happened?"
Zhao Chuchu turned her head away. She didn't want to look at Ye Nianwen: "I said, you won't understand."
Ye Nianwen didn't respond. He stared at her. It was the first time he observed her so carefully. At that moment, he saw her timidity, her struggle, and her hesitation.
"I may not understand," he said in a hoarse voice, "but I know that you are a good person."
Zhao Chuchu was stunned, and Ye Nianwen repeated what she had asked him to say.
"Ye Nianwen, I will always love Zhao Chuchu."
Zhao Chuchu bit her lip, she looked at Ye Nianwen, tears suddenly fell.
"That night," she raised her hands involuntarily and hugged herself tightly. She pinched her arms tightly, as if she was talking about a big scandal, "I was taking care of my sister. When the drinking party was about to end, Fan Jiancheng said he would go get a glass of water for my sister and me, and then he would go to the private room."
Ye Nianwen was not surprised. He had heard about this from other witnesses. He looked at Zhao Chuchu and asked, "And then?"
"He went out to drink for a while. I felt thirsty, so I went to drink. Then I saw him holding a bottle of medicine, and next to it was water he had poured. I asked him what it was, and he told me it was a hangover medicine."
After saying this, Zhao Chuchu's fingers slowly relaxed and she lowered her eyes: "I didn't think much about it, I just walked over and took the medicine away, and I said I would feed her. Fan Jiancheng wanted to say something, but I didn't give him a chance, I just brought some water and left."
"So you gave me the medicine?"
Ye Nianwen suppressed his emotions. He did not dare to disturb Zhao Chuchu. He vaguely understood why Zhao Chuchu did not dare to speak out.
Tears fell from Zhao Chuchu's eyes. She looked at Ye Nianwen, restrained her tears, and said tremblingly: "I'll feed the medicine to you."
Ye Nianwen looked at her. Zhao Chuchu spoke every word with great difficulty: "Then, I sent her away. I told her to call me when she got home. At twelve o'clock, she sent me a message, and I went to bed."
"Why didn't you say so at the beginning?"
Ye Nianwen lowered his eyes to look at his clasped hands, and Zhao Chuchu lowered her head: "If I say it, can I still live a good life?"
"I hurt her. I'm scared, I feel guilty, and I blame myself," Zhao Chuchu paused, "but I don't want to ruin my life."
"So, at that time, I wanted to find a way to have the best of both worlds."
Zhao Chuchu raised her head and looked at Ye Nianwen: "I won't tell the truth, but I was the last person to see her. I lied for her and helped her send Fan Jiancheng to prison. In this way, I can cover up my own crimes and I can help her."
"It's just that I haven't thought about it." Zhao Chuchu forced a smile, "No matter how I cover it up or explain it, as long as the victim is not me, it is already my fault."
"I see people questioning everything about me online, my clothes, my appearance, my past relationships, everything about me."
"Ye Nianwen, you know, I've always doubted myself," Zhao Chuchu raised her hand and pointed at herself, "I don't know if it's right for me to be a salesperson, I don't know if it's right for me to wear clothes, and I don't know if it's unforgivable for me to fall in love in junior high school. Everyone says I'm wrong, but I don't think I'm wrong, so I've been fighting, but deep in my heart, there's always a voice telling me that I'm wrong and I shouldn't do that."
"I have made many mistakes. If everyone knew that I gave the medicine to your sister..."
Zhao Chuchu trembled and said, "I'm scared."
"No one will believe me, no one will think that I didn't do it on purpose. You see, they just think that I was careless and put her in the car, and they can scold me like this. If they knew that it was me who did it, I dare not think what they would say."
"But," Ye Nianwen said in a difficult voice, "you gave her the medicine. You were indeed careless."
"Then should I die?!" Zhao Chuchu raised her voice suddenly, she screamed, "I gave her the drug, I didn't do it on purpose, so I am unforgivable?!"
"You should testify!" Ye Nianwen stared at her, unable to control his emotions, "You shouldn't hide this matter. If you testify, this case will not be lost!"
When Zhao Chuchu heard this, she looked at Ye Nianwen. After a moment, she laughed and said, "Do you know why I never wanted to tell you this?"
Ye Nianwen was stunned. Zhao Chuchu said calmly, "Because I knew you would say this."
"I've heard this a lot. Yes, I didn't testify at first because I was scared. But when you saw me being scolded like this just for leaving Sister Ye in the car, do you know how I felt?"
Zhao Chuchu raised her hand and pointed to her chest: "I'm very lucky."
"If being a good person makes my life more miserable than being a bad person, then I am willing to be a bad person."
"Zhao Chuchu," Ye Nianwen said in disbelief, "Don't you feel guilty?"
"Yes," Zhao Chuchu looked at Ye Nianwen, tears falling from her eyes, "So do you know how long I've been waiting for you? How long I've been waiting for you, tell me, Chuchu I believe you, Chuchu you're a good person, as long as you tell me, I might be able to go on. But you didn't."
"I've thought about it countless times, wanting to stand up and testify for Sister Ye," Zhao Chuchu looked at him with tears in her eyes, clutching her clothes tightly, "but every time, you, the people around me, and the Internet made me feel that I would destroy myself if I testified. The only time I felt that I could stand up was when Sister Ye said that I was a good person."
"At that moment, I felt a little courage to admit what I had done. Then, just now, you said you liked me and that I was a good person."
Zhao Chuchu smiled, but after a moment, she felt a little disappointed: "It's a pity that you still lied to me."
"Why do you have to wait for others to recognize you before you stand up?" Ye Nianwen couldn't understand what she said, "You were wrong, you should make amends and accept the punishment, right?!"
When Zhao Chuchu heard this, she slowly calmed down.
When she looked at Ye Nianwen, she felt numb, as if she had completely given up on herself.
"Ye Nianwen," Zhao Chuchu said softly, "treat me as a human being."
"Not everyone will do everything they should do. You shouted such beautiful slogans. At the beginning," Zhao Chuchu leaned closer to him, "your sister should have called the police. Why didn't you let her do it?"
"You are a human being, aren't you?"
*** ***
"At that time, he had just finished his second year of high school and he did quite well in the exams," Yang Qiyu talked about those years while looking at the birds landing on the windowsill outside the window when Ye Nianwen's voice was interrupted in Zhang Yong's headphones.
Zhang Yong knew that Ye Nianwen didn't want him to know about this conversation, so he simply relaxed and waited for Ye Nianwen to come back to discuss it.
After all, this is Ye Sibei's case, and Ye Nianwen cannot possibly be unfavorable to Ye Sibei.
He simply picked up the teacup, leaned back on the sofa, and listened to Yang Qiyu talk about the past.
"Before the holiday, I asked him to take his report card back to show his father. He also told me that his father would not care. As long as he does not bother his parents, his parents will not care about him."
"Then that summer, he suddenly called me in the middle of the night. He didn't say anything on the phone, he just kept crying. Finally, he cried and said to me that he was sorry for his father and that he deserved to die."
"I went to look for his grandfather and only then did I know about his father's death," Yang Qiyu recalled the past with a bit of sadness, "Afterwards I heard that there was a big commotion in their village, and they went to the construction site and blocked it for a long time. His father's coffin had been placed at the entrance of the construction site. He wanted to carry the coffin back, thinking that even if there was a commotion, at least his father could be buried first. But he failed, and his mother caught him and asked his uncles to take him back and lock him up."
"They are too stupid," Zhang Yong frowned, "He was still a child at that time, right?"
"About seventeen or eighteen years old," Yang Qiyu took a sip of tea, "When he was little, no one took care of him. His mother didn't really have much affection for him, so it was his grandfather who took care of him. But his grandfather was old, and at the time, he couldn't protect him too much."
"Did you lose money later?"
"Compensation, 500,000 yuan," Yang Qiyu said with a sneer, "I heard that the village held a special meeting to discuss the money, and in the end, it seemed that less than 100,000 yuan fell into the hands of the mother and daughter. When his father was buried, I went to see him. When the coffin was buried, he knelt on the ground and refused to leave. It was very painful to see. Later, when the third year of high school started, I heard that his mother ran away. He sat in the classroom, in a daze all day, not studying, not doing anything. A few days later, he came to ask me why Ye Sibei didn't come to school. I listened for him and heard that her parents didn't let her come and wanted her to go to work."
Zhang Yong paused while drinking his tea. He frowned and said, "How could the Ye family do this?"
"There's not enough money at home," Yang Qiyu shook his head, "I've seen it a lot, it's a common thing."
"And what happened next?"
"Later, Qin Nan returned from his job. The next day, he came to me and told me that he wanted to retire. He said that his grandfather was old, and even if he was admitted to a university, he would still have to spend money. He couldn't get into a good university, so he decided to study a technical skill so that he could take care of his grandfather earlier."
"His mother left him 20,000 yuan, but he didn't want it. She asked me to go to Ye Sibei's family to persuade them to donate all the 20,000 yuan to Ye Sibei."
Zhang Yong stared at Yang Qiyu blankly: "He did this, doesn't he regret it now?"
Yang Qiyu smiled and said, "I regret it."
As he spoke, he poured himself a cup of tea: "When he put the money on my desk and walked out of school with his backpack on his back, I persuaded him to stay. I chased him and told him that he would regret it, but he didn't turn back."
"Later, many years later, he came back to see me one day. He put the tea leaves on the table and said to me, 'Teacher Yang, I met Ye Sibei.'"
Yang Qiyu raised his eyes to look at Zhang Yong, then turned to look at the photo on the wall: "He said, I regret it."
"What does he regret?" Zhang Yong frowned. "Does he think he should continue reading?"
"Officer Zhang, do you think that Qin Nan gave the money to Ye Sibei because he liked her?"
Zhang Yong didn't answer. He did think so, but when Yang Qi Yu asked him this, he was a little afraid to speak.
Yang Qiyu shook his head: "In fact, after Qin Nan gave the money, he only called Ye Sibei a few times in many years, and each call was when he couldn't hold on any longer."
"Qin Nan had a deep sense of self-loathing since childhood. Did you know that more than a decade ago, there was a group suicide case of left-behind children in the suburbs of South City? An older child hanged himself at home with two younger children."
Zhang Yong nodded: "I have an impression."
"One of the children is Qin Nan's brother. He is not an only child. He became an only child after his brother died."
Zhang Yong was stunned. Yang Qiyu continued, "I used to think that he liked Ye Sibei. But later he told me that he had never felt happy in his life. Every time he looked into the future, he felt that he had no expectations. He felt that it was meaningless to live like his father. Deep down, he felt that it was impossible not to live like his father. It was Ye Sibei who gave him the courage to struggle."
"That 20,000 yuan was his tuition money, and it was his future. He gave the 20,000 yuan to Ye Sibei. In fact, in his heart, he regarded Ye Sibei as a projection of himself. He hoped that Ye Sibei could do what he couldn't do. If Ye Sibei could do it, it would encourage him in disguise and make him feel that there was new hope in this world. So he took Ye Sibei's phone number from me. Over the years, he has only called Ye Sibei four times. He told me that when he heard Ye Sibei studying and Ye Sibei's voice, he felt that if Ye Sibei could persist, he could too."
"Is he in love with Ye Sibei?" Yang Qiyu smiled and shook his head, "If you understand it this way, you may find it difficult to understand his behavior."
"He doesn't love Ye Sibei," Yang Qiyu said affirmatively, "He believes in Ye Sibei."
Zhang Yong was stunned. At that moment, the words that Lin Feng told him in the afternoon flashed through his mind.
Qin Nan told her that Ye Sibei was in an abnormal condition, so he bought three train tickets. He was afraid that Ye Sibei would do something stupid, so he asked Lin Feng to follow him.
If in Qin Nan's heart, Ye Sibei is the belief he has held on to for so many years, it is Ye Sibei who gave him the hope of life, and Ye Sibei is the projection of his hope for the whole world, when Ye Sibei is forced into such a desperate situation by the world, will he sit idly by and do nothing
Would he let Ye Sibei suffer such humiliation
Zhang Yong reacted suddenly, stood up immediately and called Lin Feng.
Five minutes before Zhang Yong called Lin Feng, Ye Sibei received a call from Qin Nan.
She watched the train enter the city and begin to slow down. Ye Sibei stood up and prepared to pack her things when her cell phone suddenly rang. She looked at the number and found that it was Qin Nan.
She hesitated for a moment, put on her Bluetooth headset, packed her things, and answered Qin Nan's call.
"Hello?"
“Don’t get off the station.”
Ye Sibei froze for a moment. Qin Nan said in a steady voice, "Lin Feng is following you. Go to City G. Don't stop."
"What do you mean?" She suddenly realized, a little shocked, "Do you know what I'm going to do?"
"If you want to say anything, I'll put it in the letter in your schoolbag. Burn it after you've read it. Don't leave any traces."
"Qin Nan," Ye Sibei was a little scared when he heard this, "Don't do anything stupid."
“Sibei,” Qin Nan lowered his head, “Don’t come back. This matter doesn’t want to have anything to do with you. You promised me—”
"Go to City G and don't look back."
After saying that, Qin Nan hung up the phone. Ye Sibei calmed down for a moment, then immediately took out his schoolbag and searched through it. Finally, he found a letter in a compartment.
She quickly opened the letter and saw Qin Nan's handwriting.
Qin Nan's handwriting was not beautiful, but it was neat and tidy, and every word could be read clearly, like the most solemn document written in his life.
"Sibei, Zhan Xinjia."
"When you see this letter, you should be on the train, perhaps almost reaching Huaishui.
This decision was very difficult for me to make. I don't know what love is and I don't like to rely on others for my life. So, I have been thinking about whether I should kill Fan Jiancheng for you for a long time.
But when we stood on the roof of No. 2 Middle School and looked at the entire school, I suddenly made a decision that in this world, your life has far greater meaning than mine. "
"I'm sorry for lying to you. Actually, you and I should be schoolmates. Twelve years ago, we went to the same No. 2 Middle School. You were in Class 1 and I was in Class 17. We were at the same head and end, so we just happened to be neighbors.
You sat in the third row of the fourth group of Class 1, and I sat in the last row of Class 17. When we met for the first time, it was raining heavily and I didn't have an umbrella. You saw the school uniform I was wearing, walked up to me, and asked me if I wanted an umbrella.
From then on, I noticed you. I often saw you studying, and you would not go to eat after putting down your study schedule and do your homework seriously. I even saw your mother scolding you at the school gate and heard other classmates laughing at you for being a nerd, but you were never moved.
I was born in the village. To my parents, my existence seemed to be more of a responsibility and instinct. Since I was born, what I heard most was that kids like us should just hang out together, and when we reach a certain age, we will go out to work, make money, and get married.
This kind of life made me feel hopeless, but I just couldn't muster the courage to resist. Then I met you, and it was like someone suddenly gave me a voice of affirmation, so I thought, I could give it a try.
Since then, I have always hoped that you would live a good life. It seems that I have unconsciously placed all my expectations for this world on you. "
"After my father passed away, I realized belatedly how hard he had worked and how much he had sacrificed. I felt even more like a sinner, so I left my job at the school and wanted to make a living, but after I left school, I realized how high the sky was and how deep the earth was, and that I was nothing.
I succumbed to this world and the rules. Many years later, we met again. In fact, I was a little sad at first. I regretted that you became like this, but I also felt that this was human nature. After all, I have become a walking corpse now, how can I force you
So I just think of us as a good match. You are the best person among those I can choose. We are a good match and should get married when we reach the right age.
But after marriage, I saw your weakness, which pierced my heart like a thorn, and I began to realize that you are always different from me in this world. I can accept others succumbing to fate, but I cannot accept you.
Every time I was with you was a double pain. Not only did I have to experience the trivialities of life, but I also had to experience the disappointment of the complete annihilation of the youthful expectations deep in my heart. After arguing with you several times, and seeing that you lent money to Ye Nianwen without any regard for the future, I took the liberty of choosing to divorce and escape from this kind of life.
Until you are done."
"At first, I might have felt a sense of responsibility, or maybe it was because deep down in my heart I couldn't accept your humiliation. But slowly, I realized that my complicated feelings might not just be about you."
"I have asked myself countless times at night, why do I accompany you? Is it because you are the projection of my hope for this world?"
"But later, when you asked me if I loved you, I suddenly realized that from the moment I began to accept your weakness, to understand you, to live with you, to listen to you yelling on my motorcycle, to watch the lights of the whole city with me, you were not only my belief, you were also a living person. One to whom I gave all my feelings, whether it was love or other people."
"I hope you live a good life. I hope you can enjoy everything I have never enjoyed and get all the happiness I have never gotten. I don't know when I started to look forward to having a future with you. But deep in my heart, I know that someone like me should not have a future with you."
"Sibei, many people think that you are the weak one, but in fact, I am the weak one."
"I have succumbed to fate countless times, and accepted the future it has given me countless times. But you, no matter in the past or now, deep in your soul, have never succumbed to it."
"This is you whom I envy the most and whom I love the most. I hope that for the rest of your life, you can live happily with the world that I cannot have."
"I write this belated love letter to you because I want to tell you."
"Ye Sibei, in fact, no matter when, no matter whether you know it or not, please firmly believe that there will always be someone who loves you in this world."
"For example, Qin Nan."
After reading the letter, Ye Sibei had many things she couldn't understand, but she didn't know why she burst into tears.
The train entered the station, and a license plate with the words "Huai Shui" appeared outside the window. Ye Sibei looked up with tears in her eyes and glanced outside the station.
The train slowly stopped, and people around turned around. Before the door opened, they began to push and push towards the door. A woman grabbed Ye Sibei and pulled down her mask, revealing Lin Feng's face.
"Captain Zhang is looking for you."
Lin Feng hurriedly put the earphones into her ears, and Ye Sibei heard Zhang Yong's anxious voice: "Are you planning to kill Fan Jiancheng today?"
Ye Sibei was stunned, and Zhang Yong quickly told her: "Qin Nan went there for you, tell me what your plan is? Where did he go?!"
Ye Sibei was speechless.
The train arrived at the station and people were rushing out. From outside, the conductor's voice could be heard on the radio: "Huaishui Station has arrived. Passengers who want to get off should get off quickly. First come first served!"
"We have arrived at Huaishui Station. Passengers who are getting off the bus should get off quickly. First come first served!"
Zhang Yong couldn't help but feel a little angry when he heard Ye Sibei's silence: "Are you still afraid of being implicated at this time?! Ye Sibei, do you know that the 20,000 yuan you received in your senior year of high school was given by Qin Nan? That was his father's compensation, used to support his studies! He has already given you the first half of his life, do you want him to sacrifice the second half of his life for you?!"
Ye Sibei opened his eyes in a daze, tears falling from his eyes.
"Outskirts of the city, at the foot of Mount Su Ming."
She suppressed her emotions and spoke calmly, "I'll send you the location, and you can find Fan Jiancheng and ask him not to go to the casino tonight."
After saying that, Ye Sibei came back to her senses. She grabbed her bag, squeezed through the crowd and got off the train, while sending a message to Zhang Yong.
After the message was sent, she and Lin Feng just got off the train. As soon as she got off the train, she grabbed her bag and rushed towards the direction of the black car she had booked. She ran as fast as she could and arrived at the agreed location, but found that there was no sign of the black car driver at all.
She called the driver desperately, but the other end was always busy. Lin Feng ran behind her, panting: "What are you doing?"
"The driver I booked is missing."
Ye Sibei was a little anxious: "I have to go back and stop him."
"He asked me to come and talk to you. He will definitely find a way to cancel the driver you booked."
Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "Let's rent it now, quickly."
Ye Sibei nodded, and the two of them waited for a while, found a car rental at a high price, and drove quickly to the casino.
Ye Sibei got on the bus, and Lin Feng asked her nervously, "Do you think he will follow your plan?"
"I have no idea."
Ye Sibei clenched her fists and tried to stay calm. She paused for a moment, sent her location to Ye Nianwen, and then called Ye Nianwen.
Ye Nianwen and Zhao Chuchu looked at each other calmly, and then their cell phones suddenly rang. Ye Nianwen saw Ye Sibei's name, and both Zhao Chuchu and he were stunned. Zhao Chuchu sat back and raised her hand: "Answer it."
Ye Nianwen calmed down and answered the phone, then he heard Ye Sibei's hoarse voice: "I'll send you a location, go here and find Qin Nan."
"What's wrong with him?"
Ye Nianwen had a bad feeling. Ye Sibei controlled his voice and paused before speaking: "He went to kill Fan Jiancheng for me."
Ye Nianwen opened his eyes suddenly, and he suddenly turned around: "I... I'll go right away."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, turned around and rushed out. Zhao Chuchu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"
"My brother-in-law..." Ye Nianwen's voice trembled, "My brother-in-law... wants to kill Fan Jiancheng."
Zhao Chuchu was completely stunned when she heard this, but she quickly reacted: "Don't be afraid, I'll go with you."
Ye Nianwen nodded and quickly paid the bill. Zhao Chuchu went to the door to stop a car, and the two of them hurried to the destination.
When Ye Nianwen and Ye Sibei were rushing towards the vicinity of the casino, Zhang Yong said goodbye to Yang Qiyu, and while running out, he called the police. After roughly explaining the situation, he started calling Fan Jiancheng.
Fan Jiancheng was already driving on the road with his friends. There was loud music in the car and his friends were excitedly talking to him about how to start gambling when they got to the casino.
This was Fan Jiancheng's complete leisure time. He was too lazy to answer the phone and simply set it to silent. The phone was always on, but he was unaware.
He danced to the music and sang in broken Cantonese: "Time turns possession into loss, tired eyes carry hope~"
After Zhang Yong's phone calls failed, he went to his car, drove towards the casino, and called everyone related to Fan Jiancheng.
I called the company and they said he was going home.
I called Zhao Shuhui, who said he was at the company.
Zhang Yong was so angry that he turned the steering wheel several times and could only speed up and rush towards the casino.
Everyone was racing against time. Qin Nan squatted in the unfinished building, biting the bread he had brought in advance.
The dagger was stuck in his lower back, he held an iron rod in his hand, and next to him was the anti-wolf spray he had just bought.
It was almost seven o'clock, the sky had completely darkened, and a light rain was falling. Fan Jiancheng's car illuminated the night, drove over the bumpy ground, and stopped not far from the unfinished building.
The driver stopped the engine and turned off the music. Fan Jiancheng sat in the passenger seat and stretched his body. The driver smiled and said, "Brother Fan, let's go."
As he said that, he pushed open the car door, opened his umbrella, and stepped out of the car. But the moment he got out of the car, an iron rod hit him in the face!
The iron rod shone a few inches of light in the night. The driver reacted very quickly and leaned to the side, but was still hit hard by the iron rod and fell to the ground!
"Brother Fan!"
The driver screamed in pain and rolled into the mud. It was at this moment that Fan Jiancheng reacted instantly. He opened the car door, turned around and ran away.
"Call someone!"
Fan Jiancheng shouted: "Call someone!"
Qin Nan ignored the people behind him and rushed into the unfinished building after chasing Fan Jiancheng.
Fan Jiancheng seemed to be very familiar with this area. He threw things at Qin Nan as he ran. Qin Nan blocked him and he disappeared. Qin Nan chased him to the third floor. The third floor was empty except for some walls. Qin Nan took a glance and knew that Fan Jiancheng was behind the wall. He dragged the steel pipe over. Fan Jiancheng hid behind the wall. He was trembling and didn't dare to make a sound. He grabbed a handful of cement dust next to him and heard Qin Nan's voice getting closer.
A moment before Qin Nan's footsteps reached him, he threw a handful of ashes at him. Qin Nan was prepared, so he held his breath and closed his eyes, then hit him hard with a stick. Instantly, Fan Jiancheng let out a wail.
Qin Nan took a step back, shook his head, opened his eyes, and found that Fan Jiancheng had already begun to stagger upstairs.
Qin Nan chased after him with a stick in his hand. Fan Jiancheng saw him getting closer and closer. He breathed rapidly and was almost about to cry.
He knew very well that Qin Nan was not here to attack him or simply to take revenge on him.
He came to kill him, he came to kill him!
Darkness enveloped the countryside, and there was no one living around. Fan Jiancheng was living in an unfinished building, his heart filled with fear and regret.
He shouldn't have caused trouble for Ye Sibei.
He chose the wrong person. He should have chosen an easy target, a woman who was more obedient and less controlled by others.
Maybe Zhao Chuchu is easier to control than Ye Sibei
Qin Nan took two steps at a time and chased after him. There were voices around, which gave Fan Jiancheng greater encouragement. He shouted loudly: "Here! I'm here!"
Qin Nan heard him shouting and immediately quickened his pace to catch up with him. Fan Jiancheng kept throwing things from a high place. Qin Nan slowed down a little and the people behind him caught up with him. Fan Jiancheng fled madly to the stage. The moment he got on the stage, Qin Nan grabbed his hair. Fan Jiancheng howled loudly. At this moment, an iron rod hit Qin Nan's back hard!
Qin Nan was pushed forward by the blow. Fan Jiancheng kicked him. Qin Nan raised his hand and swung an iron rod, knocking Fan Jiancheng away. Before Qin Nan could stand firm, more than a dozen people had rushed in. They surrounded Qin Nan. The bald man in the lead wore a big gold chain and held a steel pipe in his hand. He looked at Qin Nan and said, "You come here to cause trouble. Are you looking for death?"
"I'm only looking for trouble with Fan Jiancheng today," Qin Nan looked at Fan Jiancheng who was being helped up behind the man with a calm expression, "Brother, please make way."
"I think I know you," the bald man looked at Qin Nan. After a moment, he said in dialect and smiled, "My wife is fucking that, right?"
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. Qin Nan didn't say anything. He put his left hand in his trouser pocket and took a step forward. Everyone immediately became alert. The steel pipe came down at him. Qin Nan sprayed the anti-wolf spray around him and smashed the steel pipe madly at the same time!
"Step aside!"
Qin Nan roared loudly, and the steel pipe hit him on the body and head. He swung the steel pipe like crazy and rushed towards Fan Jiancheng.
His ferocious attitude startled the people around him, and the bald man cursed him fiercely: "Fuck!"
The group of people had been fighting for a while when the sound of police sirens could be heard faintly from downstairs. Qin Nan could not hear the sound, nor could he see the people around him. He felt no pain from the iron rod hitting his body. All he could see was Fan Jiancheng, who was forced to retreat step by step by him.
He wants to kill him.
No matter what, he would kill him.
He was hit on the head and bleeding, his body was covered with bruises. When the people around heard the sirens, they all looked at the bald man. The bald man was stunned and gritted his teeth: "Let's go."
“Brother Wang!”
After saying that, everyone ran away immediately. Seeing the bald man leading the group, Fan Jiancheng immediately wanted to catch up, but Qin Nan directly blocked his way. He stared at Fan Jiancheng, who trembled and backed away.
"Qin Nan, I was wrong, I was wrong, Qin Nan," Fan Jiancheng saw that he had nowhere to retreat, so he simply knelt down and began to kowtow desperately, "I apologize to you, I apologize to Ye Sibei, I will turn myself in, I will give you money, am I sorry, am I sorry..."
Qin Nan didn't make a sound. He stepped in the rain and blood dripped from his body into the rain.
He slowly pulled out the dagger from his waist and said in a light voice: "I don't believe you."
“I don’t believe in the law.”
"I," Qin Nan stopped in front of Fan Jiancheng. Fan Jiancheng looked up blankly and saw this young man, who was soaked in rain and blood, looking down at him. "I only believe in myself."
Qin Nan trembled as he spoke, and took out his cell phone, which was full of Ye Sibei's calls. Qin Nan smiled.
He turned on the camera, clicked record, half-knelt in front of Fan Jiancheng, and raised his phone: "Say sorry to Ye Sibei."
"I'm sorry," Fan Jiancheng nodded quickly, "I'm sorry, Ye Sibei, I've been so bad to you. I'm worse than pigs and dogs. I'm a beast. I've hurt you, myself, and my whole family."
"Tell me, Ye Sibei didn't frame you, you raped her."
"Yes, yes," Fan Jiancheng nodded, "Then I raped her and drugged her. I knew she was short of money recently and that she had a bad relationship with you... with you. I thought she had a soft temper and would not dare to speak out about such a thing. Even if she dared, she had to listen to me because she had to pay off the loan, be with you, and keep quiet."
Qin Nan heard this and looked at him: "You deserve to die."
"No, no," Fan Jiancheng shook his head. "My crime is not punishable by death. Qin Nan, calm down. I will compensate you, I will give you money, I will turn myself in, and I will apologize to you. I was distracted and lost in love at the moment. I just couldn't control myself..."
"Can't you control yourself?" Qin Nan smiled. "Even animals can control themselves. You are worse than an animal."
"Yes, yes, yes," Fan Jiancheng nodded, "I am an animal, a beast, Qin Nan, I still have children, my mother, my wife, they all still rely on me, please don't kill me, I beg you, please don't..."
"That's a pity," Qin Nan stopped the video and sent it to Ye Sibei on WeChat. Then he threw the phone aside, stood up, and looked down at Fan Jiancheng, "I don't have it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slashed at Fan Jiancheng with a knife!
Fan Jiancheng fell to the side in a hurry. Qin Nan grabbed his neck and pulled him back. Fan Jiancheng used all his strength to kick Qin Nan, turned over and ran to the side. Qin Nan jumped up and pressed Fan Jiancheng's neck, smashed him to the ground, and raised his hand to stab!
At that moment, Zhang Yong shouted: "Qin Nan!"
Qin Nan turned around and saw that the stage was full of policemen. Several policemen pointed their guns at him. Qin Nan pinched Fan Jiancheng's neck and put the knife against it.
He looked at Zhang Yong calmly: "You came so quickly."
"Ye Sibei asked me to give you a message!"
Zhang Yong saw that he was about to take action, and hurriedly called him to stop. Hearing Ye Sibei's last word, Qin Nan paused. Fan Jiancheng was shaking the whole time, and he didn't dare to move. He and Qin Nan were at the edge of the platform, and as long as they moved a little further out, both of them could go down.
He looked at Zhang Yong for help, and Zhang Yong gasped: "I'm going to find Yang Qiyu today. I know everything about your past. I'll tell her everything you did to help Sibei."
Zhang Yong deliberately delayed the time.
At this moment, Ye Sibei and Lin Feng finally arrived downstairs. Seeing police cars all over the floor, Ye Sibei ran upstairs like crazy.
As she ran, she saw reporters rushing over. At the same time, some people with drugs were running to other buildings.
Her heart was beating fast. Lin Feng chased after Ye Sibei and told her with a heavy breath: "Sibei, you have to go up quickly. The police station has already prepared a sniper. When it comes to the last resort..."
"There won't be a last resort!"
Ye Sibei turned around and roared, then ran up.
Zhang Yong deliberately slowed down his tone and told the previous situation. Qin Nan looked at him. Zhang Yong glanced around and heard the voice of other police officers in the headset: "The sniper is in place."
"She said she let it go and she doesn't take it to heart."
When Zhang Yong heard the voice of "Sniper is in position", his heart began to tremble.
"I do not believe."
Qin Nan seemed to be completely unaware of everything. He said calmly, "I understand her. She can't let go."
"I have found evidence," Zhang Yong continued to persuade, "Give me a little more time and the case can be retried. This time you will definitely win. You don't have to sacrifice the rest of your life. You still have a good life in the rest of your life. Ye Sibei is still loving you. Have you ever thought about what would happen to Ye Sibei if you died?"
Hearing this, Qin Nan smiled.
"Zhang Yong, this is a hurdle in her life. Without Qin Nan, Ye Sibei will still have other people in her life, but without this justice, Ye Sibei will question the world for the rest of her life."
"This fair law will be given to you!"
Zhang Yong yelled, and Qin Nan shook his head: "It's not enough. What will the law sentence him to? It's just a few years, but how can those few years compare to Sibei's entire life?"
"Then what do you want? You want him to die. Is this justice in your mind?!"
"right."
Qin Nan said in a steady voice: "This is justice. If the Lord doesn't give you the justice that Sibei can't get, I will give it to you."
"Who asked you to give it!"
Ye Sibei stepped onto the stage panting heavily. Everyone turned around to look at him. Qin Nan stared at Ye Sibei blankly. Ye Sibei's eyes were red. He repeated, "Who asked you to give it to me?"
"come here."
She reached out her hand to him, but Qin Nan did not move. Ye Sibei looked at him. He had just disappeared for a moment, but for some reason, she felt that the man in front of her seemed both strange and familiar.
She found that it was not until today that she really understood Qin Nan a little bit.
His paranoia, his passion, his madness, and even his incompleteness.
She looked at the man in front of her and walked towards him tentatively.
"Qin Nan, one rape will not ruin my life."
"One defeat, one failure, one insult, will not ruin my life."
Qin Nan looked at her, his expression was no different from before.
Calm and steady, as if there were no waves at all.
"I used to think that I was suffering because of this incident, because I was insulted and laughed at by others," Ye Sibei glanced at the direction where the sniper was hiding not far away, and his body couldn't help but tremble, "but today I realized that it's not the case."
"The reason why I was afraid and the reason why I cared was because deep down in my heart, there was no voice that affirmed me. I had never received affirmation from my parents since I was a child. I felt that no one had ever loved me. I had never received complete affection from anyone in this world, so I had been denying myself. Until this happened, or anything else happened, I couldn't face it."
"I don't love myself enough. I don't know how precious I am. That's why I want to kill him desperately."
She stopped in front of Qin Nan. Zhao Chuchu and Ye Nianwen climbed up panting. The reporter filmed them from above with a drone.
Ye Sibei looked at Qin Nan: "But now I know. When I saw you fighting so hard, I suddenly realized it's not worth it."
"Qin Nan," Ye Sibei said hoarsely, "this incident will not ruin my life. It is just a small episode in my life. I will have a good life in the future. I will have you. I will know how to handle the relationship between me and my mother and our family. I will know what is right and what is wrong. I will apologize for my mistakes, and no one can defeat me for what I am right."
"It's not my fault that I was raped, it's the person who raped me who is wrong."
"What I wear, what job I do, whether I am careful enough, there is nothing wrong with that. Whoever criticizes me is just a mouthful."
"If my nude photos or audio clips are posted online, whoever spreads them, listens to them, and comments on them is rubbish."
"People who do wrong don't feel ashamed," Ye Sibei couldn't help but get excited, "Why should I be ashamed?!"
"If I lose the case, I will appeal again. If I fail, I will try again. I am ready to fight for my whole life, Qin Nan," Ye Sibei raised her hand. Her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse. "Justice should not come at the cost of sacrifice. If you have to sacrifice yourself to get justice, it is not justice."
"You have already paid for the first half of your life for me. I cannot afford the second half of your life."
"come here."
Ye Sibei looked at him: "No matter what the world is like, desperate or dark," Ye Sibei paused, she controlled her tears and said hoarsely, "Let's change it together."
"Captain Zhang," Zhang Yong heard the voice in his headset, "Do you want to shoot?"
"Listen to me," Zhang Yong lowered his voice, "Don't mess around."
Everyone's eyes fell on Qin Nan. Qin Nan looked at Ye Sibei, but he didn't move. Ye Sibei didn't know whether he would agree or not. She was not even sure whether Qin Nan killed Fan Jiancheng for her or for the obsession in his heart.
The drizzle continued to fall for a long time before Qin Nan slowly began to smile.
“There is no hardship that is insurmountable.”
His voice was very soft, but Ye Sibei could hear it.
She had tears in her eyes, but she still smiled: "There is no despair that cannot be overcome."
Qin Nan slowly let go of the knife. Zhao Chuchu raised her hand to cover her mouth, fearing that her crying would disturb Qin Nan.
Qin Nan stood up, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and walked towards Ye Sibei.
Just as he took a step forward, the surrounding police suddenly rushed over and pressed him into the mud.
Ye Sibei knelt dejectedly on the ground, looking at a young man not far away who was pressed down by the crowd and raised his head from the mud, his face covered with wounds.
He looked at her and smiled with red eyes.
Ye Sibei looked at his expression, crying and laughing at the same time.
"We agreed," he was handcuffed, he looked up and kept looking at Ye Sibei, "we will change the world together."
This world may be absurd and unfair, but there is light and love hanging in the sky forever.
