i'm not a bad man

Chapter 524 Go to Kunming

The air in the car was a bit dull. While I opened the window, I subconsciously loosened my collar and asked myself: Is this really another turning point in my life?
There is still no clear answer, so it is impossible for me to change the clear plan for something that is not clear.

I finally said to Zuo Xiaowei: "You don't have to persuade me anymore. No one can change my mind about returning to the small town... That kind of wandering life no longer belongs to me."

Zuo Xiaowei finally showed her fatigue. She leaned back on the chair, closed her eyes, and said to me: "If you must go back to the small town, then I will go back with you."

"Your career is in BJ, why are you going back with me?"

"I brought you to the small town. Since you think the small town is a place you must go to, I will send you off one last time." After a pause, Zuo Xiaowei said again: "I haven't been back to the small town for a while... …I want to go back and see my parents.”

"Forget it, I have to go to another place before returning to the small town."

Zuo Xiaowei then opened her eyes. She looked at me with some surprise and asked, "Where else are you going?"

"Kunming."

"To Kunming?"

I didn't explain much, just nodded.

……

When I passed the security checkpoint and was waiting in the departure hall for the flight that was about to take off, it meant that my life in BJ had come to an end; I didn’t know if I would still be in BJ and Zuo Xiaowei. Although we met each other, this period of life still changed some of my thoughts.

Originally, I came to BJ with a purpose. I wanted to use Zuo Xiaowei to force Guan Yubo to return to China; but in the end, I didn't have the heart to attack Zuo Xiaowei; and this was the only time in these days that I showed kindness to the kindness in my heart. Nian made a compromise.

I don't know if this is right or wrong, but this kind thought made me feel flustered inexplicably, especially after saying goodbye to Zuo Xiaowei.

……

Before getting on the plane, I called Wu Luoge. After the call was connected, I asked him: "Brother, have you and Sister Ran arrived in Phuket?"

"I arrived yesterday, and I am having a few drinks with her friends in Sister Ran's tavern..."

"I heard the noise over there."

"The wind at the beach is not strong, but it makes me feel very comfortable!" After a pause, Wu Luoge asked me again: "Are you preparing...?"

"Well, I'm ready to go back to the small town."

"It's a lot ahead of schedule."

"I'm afraid of long nights and many dreams... The scenic area is also approaching the limit of what it can bear. Although it is a period of time earlier than originally planned, the effect will not be much worse."

"It has indeed reached the limit of what they can bear... Before you called me, the leader in charge of this matter called me again. They relaxed the conditions again and said that as long as I am willing to take over this scenic spot, They can extend the operating rights of the scenic spot to us for another ten years... This means that if you can do a good job, this scenic spot will be your lifelong industry."

I smiled and replied: "It's quite unexpected that the higher-ups can make such a big concession... Then let's see, when will it be convenient to go to the small town and completely implement this matter?"

"When I came to Phuket, I really didn't want to go anywhere... But who told you to do this... I'll go there the day after tomorrow. Do you want to see if it's too late?"

"It's not too late. I'll arrive in the small town almost the day after tomorrow." After a short pause, I said to Wu Luoge: "By the way, have you been discussed with you about the psychological price for the transfer of the scenic spot?" "I have been communicated with you and said that it cannot be lower than 1.2. 100 million, but I think there is still room for operation, because what we want is not 1.2% of the shares, just absolute control... However, for such a large scenic spot, ten years of operating authority have been added, [-] million The price quoted is really not high.”

"Well, it's a sincere offer, but it would be better if it could be lower."

"We'll see how we can talk about it... By the way, do you want to come forward and talk with me?"

"It depends on the situation... If necessary at that time, I will go and talk with you."

Wu Luoge responded, and I fell into silence. The silence was because I felt a sense of oppression in my heart, which meant that I was about to move from darkness to light. By then, how many storms and dark methods would come to me? Coming at me, I have no way of judging.

……

The airport radio had already begun to play the announcement that ticket check-in and boarding were about to take place. I turned off my phone, put it in my pocket, and followed the crowd towards the boarding gate. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the floor-to-ceiling window, I unconsciously felt a surge of emotion in my heart. A hint of sadness, because this time I went to Kunming to meet Lu Ming, and Kunming is also the place where Luan Yu is buried.

I never dared to worship her before; this time, it’s time to worship her!I just hope that she has a soul in heaven and will not feel that the current Han Chao is too strange.

……

The plane landed at Kunming Changshui International Airport at nearly eight o'clock; after that, it took another hour to arrive in the bustling urban area by car; during this hour, I kept looking out the car window, trying to Find some familiar feeling so that you will not be too depressed and heavy by this strange feeling.

In fact, I have some experience with Kunming. After all, this is the place where Luan Yu and I met. But as time has passed, I can no longer find a reference point to go back to that time. I only blame this capital city of Yunnan. It’s developing so fast!

……

After eating a bowl of rice noodles, I found a nearby hotel to stay. The hotel room was very small. After closing the curtains, it formed a very claustrophobic space, which also allowed me to bid farewell to the hustle and bustle of the city.

I gradually became quiet, and in the silence I remembered the incident where Lu Xi and Qiao Jiao disappeared together; even though I was not there, I had a picture in my mind: Qingdao must have turned into a mess by now. And those relatives and friends who originally thought that the wedding was inevitable may also have complicated emotions and find it difficult to calm down. Through this conjecture, I seemed to see a sleepless night, and those who couldn't sleep were all people closely related to this wedding.

Lu Xi and Qiao Jiao are probably no exception, even though they have stayed out of it in this way.

So, where are they now?Follow my Weixin public account: *** to view the latest chapters!
Will you also be in a strange city, a strange hotel, and feel everything strange?Or have they gone abroad?

The possibility of going abroad is greater, because with the boundaries between countries, we can completely isolate these right and wrong.

……

I lit a cigarette, opened the curtains again, and looked at this strange yet familiar city again. In fact, until this moment, I couldn’t tell why I came here; perhaps, it was Lu Xi and I who On that night together, Lu Ming once told Lu Xi on the phone that no matter what decision Lu Xi made, he would support Lu Xi unconditionally.

My intuition tells me that even if Lu Xi cuts off contact with the whole world, she will not cut off contact with her biological brother. I want to hear some news about her here in Lu Ming.

All this happened so suddenly!

……

I fell into a trance like this habitually, and then suddenly woke up, because when I looked down, I saw a pair of women holding hands on the street. They were parked next to a roadside stall selling late-night snacks.

The back views of the two women were extremely beautiful, and it was only Qiao Jiao and Lu Xi who had such a look when they were together.
