Chapter 134
This was the first time Yi Tu met his secret lover. To be honest, Chen Xin didn't give him a bad impression at first sight.
Perhaps it was because Chen Xin had regular facial features and gentle and clean eyebrows and eyes, that when he smiled, he would reveal two cute canine teeth.
Chen Xin took two steps at a time and walked up to Yi Tu. He stretched out his hand to grab his shoulder, but Yi Tu dodged with a frown.
A trace of obvious disappointment flashed across the face of the person in front of him, and Shen Xin whispered:
"Qing'er, you haven't been to my place for two or three days."
Yi Tu felt a headache after hearing this. The task given to him by the card game was to break up with Shen Xin.
Originally, he planned to be cold to Shen Xin for a few days before breaking up with her. He has a family, and his relationship with Shen Xin is not immoral.
But now that he saw Shen Xin's affectionate look, he felt that this task would not be so easy to complete.
Yi Tu recalled how Zhong Qing usually interacted with Shen Xin. Unlike when he was with Kan Xingyuan, Zhong Qing was the leader who had the final say in this relationship.
Originally, it was Chen Xin who initiated the start of this relationship. Zhong Qing had rejected him twice, but this man was very persistent, and Zhong Qing really felt suffocated in her marriage.
He needs someone with whom he can speak his heart, a normal person with whom he can share his daily life, his joys and sorrows.
Zhong Qing found in Shen Xin all the things that Kan Xingyuan could not do, including the leadership that demonstrated a man's dignity and the care of a true family member.
However, Zhong Qing had the intention but not the courage. After three years of intimacy and subtle influence, his entire body was covered with labels of belonging to Kan Xingyuan.
Even in his heart he resisted separation from Kan Xingyuan. Although Kan Xingyuan had never touched him, Zhong Qing depended on Kan Xingyuan like he depended on his master.
This is the main reason why Yi Tu feels that this marriage is suffocating and life-threatening. Kan Xingyuan is a pervert who controls his wife, while Zhong Qing knows nothing about it.
If Zhong Qing could be braver, or burst the beautiful bubble cage that Kan Xingyuan created for him, he might really be able to reach an ending with Chen Xin who loves him.
However, Zhong Qing didn't dare to do that. Even though she realized that her husband didn't love her, she just wanted them to be together forever.
So one of Yi Tu's card game tasks was to break up with Shen Xin.
Yitu guessed that the task he received was most likely not randomly assigned by the card field, but was determined by the wishes of the characters they got.
Zhong Qing will not leave Kan Xingyuan, so breaking up with Shen Xin is only a matter of time.
So, is it possible that Kan Xingyuan knew that Zhong Qing would not leave him, so he allowed the two to develop a relationship?
Yi Tu guessed for a long time and felt that this possibility was very high, but he didn't know what Kan Xingyuan was waiting for. After all, he was not going to kill them, right?
"I've been busy these past few days, why did you come here without notifying me?"
Yitu spoke in a tone that was somewhat dissatisfied and impatient, quite like a scumbag.
Chen Xin was stunned for a moment and said uncomfortably:
"I sent you a message, but you never replied, so I..."
Yitu: “….” He really forgot.
Firstly, he planned to deal with Chen Xin coldly, so he directly set his messages to do not disturb, so naturally he could not see them and could not reply.
Secondly, someone died downstairs, and his attention was all on this matter.
"Sorry, I forgot. I've been too busy lately." Yi Tu said without blushing or beating his heart.
Shen Xin didn't believe it, "I went to your company to ask, you've been leaving early these past few days."
Yitu was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly turned colder: "You also went to my company?"
"Didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to come to my company or visit me at my house?"
Chen Xin was stunned for a moment by the fierceness. He didn't look very scared, just a little helpless.
Yitu took in all his reactions and softened his tone.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be mean to you. Something happened recently. Let's talk somewhere else."
"good."
Yitu brought the little tail behind him into a coffee shop and casually ordered two cups of American coffee and two desserts, of course without asking Chen Xin's opinion.
Zhong Qing didn't understand Chen Xin's preferences, and even though Chen Xin told her seriously many times, Zhong Qing never got impatient.
He treated Chen Xin as a trash can where he could pour out his negative emotions, a gentle place where he would not get addicted, and in return, Zhong Qing would give Chen Xin a lot of money.
Zhong Qing's salary is not low, and Kan Xingyuan's is even more considerable. The combined salary of the two is about 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a month.
Zhong Qing used one-third of her income to support Chen Xin, which was considered sincere.
"Someone just died in my building." Yitu thought for a moment and said:
"Don't come to my house to look for me again, understand?"
Chen Xin's fingers were slender as he held the dessert spoon. He lowered his eyes and mashed the piece of tiramisu in front of him.
Yitu couldn’t help but frown, he didn’t remember Shen Xin having such a hobby before eating desserts.
However, Zhong Qing hadn't been out with Shen Xin many times, and indeed had never seen Shen Xin eat cake.
"What happened?" Shen Xin put the cake into his mouth and asked softly:
"Qing'er, have you been implicated?"
Yitu shook his head. "This matter has nothing to do with me. It's just that the death of the elderly couple on the first floor was not an accident, but a murder."
"The murderer hasn't been found yet, so there are police officers stationed near the community."
Shen Xin was a little surprised, "That's really scary, how could this happen?"
"How did they die?" Shen Xin asked curiously.
Yitu didn't say anything, but just stared at him quietly, slightly depressed.
"Are you interested in this?"
Shen Xin paused for a moment, then quickly explained:
"It's because you live there, and I'm worried about your safety."
"What could possibly happen to me?" Yitu took a sip of coffee and came to a preliminary conclusion in his mind.
His obedient lover is probably also one of the card players.
But Yitu didn’t know what his card game mission was, and he always felt that it must be related to him.
Chen Xin laughed awkwardly, then said:
"My aunt lives there too, so I'm a little worried about her."
Yitu was stunned when she heard this. "Does your aunt also live in Unit 3, Building 9, Qianqian Community?"
Chen Xin nodded, "Yes, but I don't have a good relationship with her. She is quite against her husband's relatives."
"Is your aunt's surname Shi?" Yitu asked.
Shen Xin nodded, and Yitu suddenly felt dizzy.
The relationships between the characters in this card game are messy and complicated. It is difficult to understand the key points and you will fall into the trap if you are not careful.
"Your aunt..." Yitu said carefully, "No, how did your uncle die?"
Mrs. Shi lives alone and has no children. After her husband died young, she did not choose to remarry.
Shen Xin licked the cream on the corner of her mouth and looked at the handsome man sitting in front of her.
Although Zhong Qing concealed it well, Chen Xin still read something else.
"My uncle was shot to death."
Hearing this answer, Yitu's heart moved.
Sure enough, Mrs. Shi’s fear of the police station must have come from the deep shadow left by certain events in her early years.
"Executed? What crime did your uncle commit?"
Yitu wanted to know the reason, but Chen Xin, whether intentionally or not, refused to elaborate, and evaded the question by saying that he had committed some crime when he was young and was shot.
Seeing this, Yitu lost his patience to ask any more questions and decided to bring up the matter of breaking up.
Who knew that at this time, Shen Xin actually got up to go home to cook, and asked Yi Tu if she wanted to go home for dinner.
Yitu was caught off guard by his move. After thinking about it, he decided to follow him.
After all, a coffee shop is a public place, so it's better for him to be cautious when breaking up with Shen Xin.
Yi Tu didn't drive, but parked the car in front of the coffee shop. There was a GPS locator in the car, so as long as Kan Xingyuan wanted to check, there was nothing to hide.
Chen Xin's house is only more than 60 square meters and is rented. It looks very crowded. He saved all the money that Zhong Qing gave him, but it was useless.
As soon as he entered Shen Xin's house, Yi Tu looked around without noticing. He always felt that Kan Xingyuan had installed cameras in Shen Xin's house.
But on the surface, it really doesn't make sense, especially since Shen Xin has a habit of piling up miscellaneous items.
"Chen Xin, have any workers come to your house before?" Yi Tu asked tentatively.
Shen Xin took out two bottles of iced drinks from the refrigerator, handed him one, and replied:
"No, no one has come to my house for repairs in a long time."
"But...a month ago, the water pipe in the bathroom suddenly burst, and the landlord hired someone to come and fix it."
"Why are you asking this?" Shen Xin narrowed his eyes.
Yi Tu was silent for a moment, hesitating whether to take the opportunity to make their relationship clear, when Chen Xin suddenly changed the subject.
"Qing'er, weren't you curious about what crime my uncle committed that got him shot?"
Yitu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:
"I'm really curious, but if you don't want to talk about it, forget it."
Chen Xin smiled. He sat down next to Yi Tu, hugged Yi Tu's shoulders affectionately, and said gently:
"How could that be? I like you the most, I wouldn't keep such a small thing from you."
Yi Tu's attention was focused on the death of Mrs. Shi's husband, and she didn't realize that there was anything wrong with the distance between Chen Xin and him.
"Actually, the reason I didn't talk about it in the coffee shop was because of what happened to my uncle..."
Shen Xin sighed, "What he did was really inhumane. I feel ashamed to talk about it."
Shen Xin's uncle was very handsome when he was young, and he was kind, honest and capable.
At the age of 25, he married a beautiful wife who came with a generous dowry. As expected, his life was prosperous thereafter.
But soon, problems began to arise between the young couple.
"My aunt and uncle have been married for two or three years, and neither of them has children." Shen Xin said, "I heard that my aunt refused to go to the hospital for a check-up, and my uncle really listens to his wife."
"They refused to treat the disease, so they went to the local welfare home and adopted a little girl of seven or eight years old. She was very beautiful and looked a bit like my aunt."
"My dad said that the little girl looked very well behaved and spoke sweetly, but she always liked to cling to my uncle."
Chen Xin said, "The kind that never leaves my side. My aunt gets a little jealous when she sees it."
"Then...something really happened."
Shen Xin had no recollection of how the specific incident happened. After all, he was only two or three years old at the time, and all the information was from his father.
Chen Xin's uncle sexually assaulted his adopted daughter. This matter has spread all over the town, and the little girl told others about it herself.
"At the time, my aunt didn't believe it at all. She trusted my uncle's character too much."
"Later, my aunt witnessed the incident, but by then the girl had already been stabbed to death by my uncle."
"I heard that it was my uncle who called the police himself. A lot of police came and stood all over the room."
"My uncle confessed to all his crimes after being arrested by the police. That summer, he was directly sentenced to death."
After listening to Shen Xin's description, Yi Tu was stunned for a long time.
How could it be...this is the story? He felt depressed and anxious.
