i'm not a bad man

Chapter 633 This Is Destiny

In the past half month, I have been busy applying for a visa. Finally, on the day of the Great Summer, I completed all the procedures to go to the United States and prepared to depart from Shanghai and fly directly to New York, USA...

The Zhejiang county where Ren Ran and Wu Luoge are located is still more than 200 kilometers away from Shanghai, so after the family had lunch together, they prepared to see me off.

After Wu Luoge handed the largest box to me, he patted my shoulder and said: "When you get there, just contact my assistant there... With your ability, I believe it will be done soon." Get started.”

"Don't worry, brother... You are entrusted with loyalty, and I will definitely help you stabilize the business there."

Wu Luoge nodded, then took out a bunch of keys and handed them to me, saying: "This is my house over there. There is a villa in the suburbs and an apartment near the company. Where you want to live depends on your mood. …By the way, I still have a few cars over there, all parked in the garage of my suburban villa, especially the ’63 Chevrolet, so I must remember to do maintenance on time.”

I took the large bunch of keys from his hand and said with a smile, "I can't tell you have a hobby of collecting antique cars."

"After the economic conditions mature, you have to let some of your feelings come to fruition... The same goes for you. I hope you can gain new gains and new feelings during these two years in the United States."

"Ah."

I responded, and at this time, my mother and Ren Ran walked out of the house together. They also held some of my luggage in their hands. Ren Ran rummaged through one of the luggage bags, and then I asked my mother: "Mom, did you see the Lao Ganma I bought for Han Chao and the bag containing mustard?"

"Wasn't it packed into his big suitcase by Han Chao?"

Ren Ran looked at me again, wanting me to confirm, for fear that I had forgotten these things; I then smiled and replied: "It's in my big suitcase... Aren't all these things from Lao Ganma over there?" You can buy it, so you really don’t need to prepare so much for me!”

"How can foreign versions be as authentic as domestic ones... By the way, there are also some daily medicines that are hard to buy over there. I've also put them in the white bag for you. Don't lose them."

"understood."

Ren Ran held Wu Luoge's arm and her eyes turned red. Wu Luoge patted her hand gently and said comfortingly: "When we have more time, we can just go over there and see him..."

Ren Ran was already choked with sobs, and she said: "What makes me sad is not that I can't see him for two years... He seems to be a very impressive person, and there is no shortage of people around him... But in the end, he went to the United States alone... …”

After Ren Ran said this, everyone fell into silence, but their moods were different. In the end, it added some heaviness to this parting that I didn't pay much attention to.

This heavy feeling makes me feel that all of this does not seem to end so easily; at least, I have not yet met Zuo Xiaowei, nor have I waited for the news whether Zou Chang is dead or alive, even Lao Wai I didn’t dare to meet my son...

I am still escaping, just like I was escaping from the irreconcilable family conflict; therefore, wandering seems to have become a lingering shadow in my life, and I am a little unwilling to do so.

Even if I cruelly sell the RV that has accompanied me through 296 cities, I still have not got a home that belongs to me and is located in a certain city with peace of mind.

My youth seems to have become meaningless, just like a life-threatening escape. I am a little tired and a little frustrated, but there is no other way. I can only go abroad, perhaps, only in such a far-fetched place. A place where I can forget those guilt and responsibilities.

……

I left without looking back or saying too much, even though the people standing behind me were my closest people in the world.

I drove alone on the highway to Shanghai. The journey was very quiet. It was so quiet that for several hours of driving, only the music in the car accompanied me...

I finally arrived in Shanghai near dusk.

The flight to New York is tomorrow morning, which means I have to stay in Shanghai overnight.

I went to the Bund and stood alone by the Huangpu River. Those exaggeratedly tall buildings were mixed with neon lights and reflected on the river. The river was swaying due to the passing of ships, which seemed to tell the story of this city. In the long history of the city, there are endless loneliness and prosperity; just like each of us, how can we see its whole picture and all its experiences with just a quick glance here?
Therefore, no one knows that I am standing by the Huangpu River at this moment, but I am actually a person who is responsible for serious crimes. It’s just that Lao Wai did all this too cleanly, so I escaped by chance, but this does not mean that, I can think of Zuo Xiaowei calmly...

She is aphasic and can no longer sing. How should she continue her life in the future?

I felt more and more heavy. Finally, I lit another cigarette and watched absentmindedly. The surging river seemed to have turned into a huge screen. On this screen, my story continued. It seemed that it would never end; so, I thought of Luan Yu, Lu Xi, and Qiao Jiao again...

……

My cell phone, which had been quiet all afternoon, suddenly made a vibrating sound at this time. I took it out of my pocket absentmindedly, but it was a call from overseas.

Most of the calls from overseas were scams, and I wanted to refuse them, but suddenly I felt an inexplicable shock in my heart, and then I remembered the possibility that I had thought of a thousand times.

Subconsciously tightening the cigarette in my hand, I finally answered the call. Then, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the phone. She called me "brother."I almost suffocated. After a while, I asked tentatively: "Zou Chang?"

"It's me, brother..."

"You... where are you now?"

"I'm outside the country... Don't worry, I'm safe now."

Various emotions were swirling in my heart, and then I breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said, "It's good to be safe, it's good to be safe."

"elder brother……"

I was waiting for Zou Chang to continue speaking, but she suddenly stopped, and all I could hear was her breathing.Presumably, like me, she has so many mixed feelings that she doesn't know where to start.

So, I asked again: "Do you know how long it has been since your accident?"

"After tomorrow, it will be two months."

"It's been two whole months. Since you are still alive, why don't you contact me?"

This is the real reason for my complicated mood. I still can't forget why I was so angry at the beginning, but she is still alive. Of course I hope she is alive, so a reasonable explanation becomes more important than anything else at this moment. important.

"Speak, since you are still alive, why don't you contact me?!"

After yelling, I was stunned. I actually became angry because Zou Chang was alive. The reason why I was angry was because I had not really let go and could not let go. I had a very bad intuition...

I don't know how long she was silent, but Zou Chang finally spoke. She said, "I'm sorry...Brother...I took advantage of you."

"Use me?"

"Maguan...I killed him...and then created the illusion that he was missing...the purpose was to turn you into a knife in my hand...because I am sober...there is nothing I can do about it on my own. Get justice for my dad...because there is no way to break the rules of this small town, you are the only exception..."

With a "buzz", my mind went blank, and then I suddenly woke up. The details of the intersection with Zou Chang were like a spring, flowing thousands of miles away. When I recalled it, I was completely drowned.

I finally said: "When did you start plotting against me?"

"After you told me about my dad for the first time... I had this idea in my mind... I kept waiting, but in the end, I found that even you couldn't bring him down by conventional means. Guan Yubo, that’s why...he had no choice but to go to such an extreme..."

"You...you actually have such a plan!"

"A woman who hangs out in the nightclub, a woman who has been tortured by human nature... Do you want her to be a simple person? Or, should she be a simple person?"

I fell into a deep silence...

"Brother, do you think there is a better outcome than now?... Ma Guan is dead. The old bastard who killed my dad will never have an easy life; and Guan Yubo, who is worse than death, is him The most deserving fate... Although I don't know how you did it in the end, judging from the fact that you haven't been implicated for so long since the incident happened, you have perfectly escaped the responsibility... From now on, we can all take good care of ourselves. Live!”

"That's just for you. I can't live with peace of mind... In this car accident, I lost a friend. Even Zuo Xiaowei suffered from aphasia because of this car accident. Her whole life was ruined. ."

"Since you have already made up your mind to do this, why do you care about Zuo Xiaowei's outcome?"

"You fucking fart, I never thought about implicating Zuo Xiaowei from the beginning to the end... To her, this is an accident, an unintentional disaster... You know what? If only, we could all be more patient If you wait, you will be able to get evidence of Guan Yubo's crime, evidence that is enough to put him beyond redemption... Zuo Xiaowei stayed with Guan Yubo and has been doing this thing... But now, everything is ruined! "

This time, Zou Chang's mood was also shaken, and it took him a long time before he said: "I know you blame yourself and are sad...but who can predict everything in this world exactly?" Well... maybe, this is fate, none of us can escape it, the only thing we can do is to protect ourselves to the greatest extent within the framework of fate."

My heart was filled with despair, and I gradually felt that I had nothing to say...

"Brother, we are the most transparent people in the world... We have no secrets, and our destinies are completely tied together. Therefore, I have a request... In recent years, it is impossible for me to return to China and live abroad. I have already made arrangements here... So, I hope you can bring my mother and come here to find me..." After a pause, she smiled again: "I heard that you have a relationship with my mother. We agreed... that we would open a candied haws-themed bar in Gejiu together. The candied haws symbolize happiness and reunion... As for whether we are in Gejiu or overseas, it doesn't really matter. What really matters is whether we can be together... So, I The shop has been rented and I’m just waiting for you to come over..."
