Embrace the love of Uncle Zhuang

Su Zheng changed his clothes and went to the restaurant to have dinner with everyone. The lunch was self-service. When Su Zheng arrived, the restaurant was almost full.

He picked up something casually, looked up with the plate in his hand, and saw Shao Yi sitting alone in the corner, with the aura of a stranger suddenly approaching, so no one dared to approach him, Su Zheng picked it up Eyebrows, go over there.

"Brother Yi," Su Zheng smiled naturally and kindly, "Can I sit here? I can't find another seat."

Shao Yi had regained his composure on the surface, he glanced at Su Zheng, and gestured for him to sit down.

Su Zheng sat opposite him, and began to eat on his own.

It was Shao Yi who spoke first: "Director Zhuang, how is the post-production of "Vase" going? Is everything going well?"

Su Zheng's heart was tense, but his face was relaxed: "Thank you Brother Yi for your concern, everything is going well, and it's already scheduled for next year's Valentine's Day."

Following this topic again, Shao Yi said in a joking tone: "I know that your relationship with Director Zhuang is unusual, this time you played a supporting role in his movie, and next time you will definitely play the leading role."

Su Zheng smiled and said, "Where, Brother Yi was joking, but my uncle is still very strict in casting roles."

Su Zheng understood that Shao Yi chatted with him back and forth, probably because he wanted to test him.According to Su Zheng's judgment, Shao Yi probably already knew his identity. Now that Shao Yi has calmed down, he may also associate the mysterious bouquet that appeared in his room with Su Zheng. However, Su Zheng's previous preparations were done carefully. Be cautious, Shao Yi is most suspicious, it is difficult for him to find out anything.

Since both of them are testing each other, Su Zheng doesn't mind pretending to be a stupid fish to bite Shao Yi's hook.

Sure enough, Shao Yi turned the topic to Su Zheng's family relationship again: "Uncle? It seems that the rumors I heard are true, and you are also half of the dealer."

Su Zheng replied: "I used to be the stepson of the Zhuang family, but after my mother passed away, the relationship became estranged."

"Oh," Shao Yi showed concern and regret, "Then is there anyone else in your own family?"

Su Zheng's expression and movements remained unchanged. He concentrated on eating while saying, "No more. My father died of illness."

"What's wrong?"

"Cancer, oh, he's still insane," Su Zheng sighed, "I've been ill for a few years, I'm confused, and I won't recognize me until the end of my life."

Shao Yi also sighed: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't mention these things... I just thought that I will cooperate with you as a brother soon. It's good to know more about each other."

"It's okay." Su Zheng raised his head, smiling politely, "I came to play "Feng Yue" because I want to cooperate with Brother Yi and take this opportunity to communicate and learn with you."

Shao Yi smiled lightly.

……

That night, Su Zheng had a dream. He dreamed of the scene on the day his father died.

That day was New Year's Eve, when the family was supposed to be celebrating, but he received another notice of critical illness early in the morning. His father had been unconscious for several days and could barely survive on the life support system. Even the doctor advised him to Abandon treatment.

But Su Zheng still didn't want to give up. In fact, sometimes he didn't know what he was insisting on. He just stubbornly believed that he couldn't decide life and death for his father. His eyes were still full of longing. As long as Dad wanted to live, he couldn't give up his slim hope.

The doctor said, if you insist on resuscitation, you should pay for the medicine and treatment first, because you already owe a lot of money to the hospital.

Su Zheng said, I pay!I'm going to borrow money now.

He entrusted his father to Yuan Xiaoyuan and ran out of the hospital. At that time, there was also light snow in the sky. He circled in the snow blankly, thinking about it, and thought of the person he least wanted to think of. He really had nowhere to go. No one can help him.

He knew from the news that Zhuang Xincheng had returned to China, but he didn't know where to find him.

He could only go back to the dealer's old house with one out of ten thousand hopes, but as soon as he made up his mind to get in the car back to the dealer's house, Yuan Xiaoyuan called him and said that there was no need to borrow money, and the doctor said it was useless.

Su Zheng ran all the way back to the hospital, Su Ling unexpectedly came to his senses, and his eyes were clearer than ever before. He opened his mouth, and rarely uttered a clear and complete sentence: "You, child, come here."

Su Zheng walked over, and the terminally ill man grabbed his hand and said hoarsely under breathless breathing: "Small, young man, who are you? Thank you, thank you for taking care of me."

Su Zheng said with tears in his eyes, "Father, I am Zheng Zheng."

Su Ling didn't respond to his words, he didn't have the extra vitality to figure out this problem, he could only take advantage of the last moment to ask this kind-hearted young man to do something important, he grabbed Su Zheng's hand tightly, because He used too much force and left a few blood marks on his hands. He said with all his strength, "I have a son named Su Zheng. Help me tell him, 'I'm sorry, I'm not a bad person'."

Su Zheng started to cry, he eagerly took his father's hand and touched his face: "Dad! Look at me! I am Su Zheng!"

However, Su Ling's eyes became blank again, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat, he could only breathe out but not inhale: "Son, son, I'm sorry, dad, no, I'm not a bad person..."

After he finished speaking intermittently, he slowly closed his eyes and stopped breathing.

But in Su Zheng's dream, this sentence kept repeating. Countless faces of Su Ling with different expressions surrounded him, saying "Father is not a bad person" over and over again...

Until Su Zheng saw Su Ling whose face was covered in blood, he stretched out his hand to him through the iron bars of the prison, and shouted, "I'm not a bad person!"

He finally woke up with a start.

Su Zheng panted rapidly in the darkness, he held down his beating heart, tossed and turned, unable to fall back to sleep.

He didn't take this sentence to heart before. Dad has been crazy all the time, and he was still looking for his son in the end. What's the point of this sentence?Even if it made sense, Su Zheng thought, it was probably due to his father's self-blame and guilt, and out of his desire to die in vain, he told his son such a sentence, so that his son would stop hating him.

He never thought that his father might be saying "I am wronged", but Shao Yi's series of abnormal actions, especially his reaction to seeing the card today, reminded Su Zheng of this sentence again, and he tried hard to recall his father's deathbed. The eyes, the more I think about it, the more I feel that what my father wants to express is "Don't hate me, child, I am not a bad person, I have not done anything bad, I am wronged."

If Dad was wronged, then the murderer of the rape-murder case 13 years ago was someone else, and judging from Shao Yi's reaction, he probably knew the inside story, and was even an accomplice or murderer.

This thought made Su Zheng shudder, and made him more determined to investigate clearly.

Just as he would not give up treating his father, if his father was really wronged—he was imprisoned for more than ten years for being wronged, suffered from the pain of being separated from his flesh and blood, and suffered both physical and mental devastation—he would never give up seeking justice for him. a justice.

……

After returning from the script seminar, Shao Yi went straight back to the apartment that Zhao Guanlan had given him. This place is private, and he and Zhao Guanlan usually go on dates here.

He had already called Zhao Guanlan and told him about the weird bouquet in the hotel room.He was now terrified, and hoped to see Zhao Guanlan immediately, but he also knew that the hope was slim, because today happened to be December 12st, and Zhao Guanlan usually stays at home with his wife and children during the Chinese New Year.

Shao Yi has spent many festivals alone, but he has never felt so frightened and lonely like today.He set up a small Buddhist hall in this apartment, and now he can only kneel in front of the Buddha statue and chant scriptures, seeking a moment of peace.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Shao Yi was terrified at first, and he stood up and ran out when the doorbell turned into the sound of opening the door.

"Why don't you open the door for me?" Zhao Guanlan stepped into the door and said while taking off his coat.

Shao Yi obediently took his clothes and hung them up, then turned around and threw herself into his arms: "Mr. Zhao, you've finally come..." He has been with this man for more than ten years, and he lived safely under his protection. After all these years, he has gained fame and fortune all the way, and he has achieved great success. Only in front of this person, he has no disguise at all, and he is still that impulsive, paranoid, willful and cowardly boy.

Zhao Guanlan pulled him away, looked carefully at his pale face, and smiled helplessly: "As for it? How old are you? You're so scared."

"But that card clearly says Yueyi Hotel 707!" Shao Yi saw Zhao Guanlan, like a lost child seeing his home, and his eyes turned red, "Could it be a ghost?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Zhao Guanlan patted his head and walked towards the bedroom, "How many times have I told you, don't believe in those supernatural things. It's better to say that there are ghosts than ghosts...then Where did the flowers come from? Have you checked?"

Shao Yi followed him into the bedroom, closed the door suspiciously, and said irritably: "I checked, but I didn't find it. I asked the front desk of the hotel and checked the surveillance, but I don't know where the person who delivered the flowers came from. I didn't even have any clues, and I tore up the card. I was really scared at the time... Su Ling's son, Su Zheng, was also at the hotel that day, and I was a little scared... Could it be that he suspected that? gone?"

"Calm down," Zhao Guanlan changed into his pajamas, and leaned against the head of the bed. His heart problem has worsened recently, and he wanted to lie down and rest when he was a little tired. "How old was he when the accident happened, what can he know?"

"But...isn't this too coincidental?"

Zhao Guanlan patted the place next to him, let Shao Yi go over, and said calmly: "Even if he made the flower, even if he has doubts about his father's case, you don't have to worry. That case is an iron case. Let's make a final conclusion, and 13 years have passed, there are no traces, even Su Ling himself is dead, what else can he do as a young child? He will test you at most, as long as you don't show your flaws, he doesn't Evidence can't be found."

Shao Yi snuggled into Zhao Guanlan's arms, her brows tightly knit together: "Su Ling shouldn't have been allowed to come out at that time, tell me, did he say anything to his son after he was released from prison?"

"He was already crazy in prison," Zhao Guanlan comforted him, stroking his back. "He didn't even know his own name, and he was already dying when he got out of prison. There's no need to take the risk of killing him. Let's Didn't you just find out recently that he lived for several years after he came out?"

"Then..." Shao Yi looked up at Zhao Guanlan, with a frenzied and paranoid light in his eyes, "What should we do now? How about killing that Su Zheng? That's the end of the matter, and there will be no future troubles."

Zhao Guanlan pinched his chin and looked at him with cold eyes: "You put it lightly, how can a human life be so easy to deal with? Besides, it is not more than ten years ago now, and the police's handling methods and efficiency are much better. If you are not careful, you will be self-defeating. You have no reason to be suspicious, and you will kill others as soon as you open your mouth... Xiaoyi, a life is nothing, but you will be in trouble if you lose your mind. More than ten years have passed, how can you be a little bit Haven't grown up?"

Tears filled Shao Yi's eyes: "Uncle... I'm really scared this time."

"Okay, okay," Zhao Guanlan wiped his eyes distressedly, "I will investigate, you stay calm, don't act rashly. Don't cry, go take a bath, let's relax." He said and patted I licked his ass.

"But..." Shao Yi seemed reluctant, or maybe he was not interested, "Are you in good health..."

Zhao Guanlan patted his face, and said ambiguously: "It's okay, I don't move, you move."

……

On New Year's Eve, Su Zheng stayed alone in the empty room, and Zhuang Xincheng called in the afternoon, saying that he had an important dinner and couldn't accompany him.And Yuan Xiaoyuan and Zhuang Tian went out to play together, originally Yuan Xiaoyuan asked him to go together, but Zhuang Tian secretly sent him a message, asking if he could show mercy and give them a chance to be alone.

My brother begged him shamelessly, so what else could he say, he could only express his deep regret to Yuan Xiaoyuan, saying that I felt so tired, so I wouldn't go out with you.

Su Zheng didn't feel lonely, anyway, he wasn't in the mood for holidays, he needed to look for information about the case back then, and he had to make a good plan for what to do next.

Su Zheng ordered a takeaway casually, and as soon as he turned on the computer, the doorbell rang.

Su Zheng went to open the door, and there was Zhuang Xincheng standing at the door, wrapped in cold air, with a little snowflakes on his shoulders, holding two big bags full of fresh ingredients in both hands.

"Uncle?!" Su Zheng looked at him in surprise and confusion, "Didn't you say that there is an important dinner tonight?"

"That's right, I have a dinner, and the dinner with you is very important." Zhuang Xincheng smiled very nicely, and was a little mischievous.

Su Zheng was helpless: "...Uncle, are you interesting? Are you childish?"

Zhuang Xincheng walked into the door, put down his things, didn't even bother to take off his clothes, so he reached out and hugged Su Zheng: "Just say you were surprised or not? Surprised or not?"

Su Zheng patted Zhuang Xincheng on the back, dumbfounded: "Accident. Surprise."

"That's fine," Zhuang Xincheng said with a smile, "I've achieved my goal, how can I be naive?"
