Zhang Pan'an is a ruthless man, but he is also afraid of death.
He bit his cigarette and said, "What do you want to know?"
Only then did Han Zhan let go of Zhang Pan'an and walked back gracefully.
Behind a glass, Han Zhan sat on a chair, and Su Wen stood behind him. Han Zhan asked Zhang Pan'an, "Are you and Zhang Mao'an brothers?"
"Cousins, the relationship is closer than brothers."
"Um."
Zhang Panan was a little confused when he suddenly heard his brother's name from Han Zhan. "My brother has been dead for many years. Why are you asking this?"
Han Zhan didn't answer Zhang Pan'an's question. He then asked, "What's the grudge between Liu Dalun and your brother?"
As soon as he heard Liu Dalun's name, Zhang Pan'an's eyes flashed with strong hatred.
"Liu Dalun..." Zhang Pan'an sneered, "That little bastard, if I had known he would be our nemesis when he grew up, I would have killed him back then!"
It seems that they have a deep connection.
"Oh, can you be more specific?"
Zhang Pan'an suddenly smiled strangely and said, "If I tell you, will the sentence be reduced?"
Han Zhan looked at him with disdain and asked him, "Do you think a piece of trash like you is qualified to discuss a sentence reduction?"
Zhang Pan'an was speechless after being blocked by Han Zhan.
He looked embarrassed.
Zhang Pan'an closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said, "Liu Dalun hates us brothers because we caused him to lose his brother."
Su Wen's eyes flickered slightly, and he subconsciously asked, "What did you do?"
Suddenly hearing an unfamiliar male voice speaking unstandard Chinese, Zhang Panan opened his eyes and glanced at the man behind Han Zhan.
He couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"
Han Zhan raised his left hand. Su Wen behind him saw it and immediately shut up.
Han Zhan folded his overly long legs, his left fingers tapping aimlessly on the leather glove on his right. He said, "Tell me what you did to brother Allen the day he went missing."
Seeing that Zhang Pan'an kept his mouth shut and clearly didn't want to cooperate, Han Zhan threw out a bait and told Zhang Pan'an, "If you tell me, the shackles can be removed."
Zhang Pan'an's expression relaxed slightly, and he said, "It happened many years ago, I don't remember it clearly."
"Remember as much as you can, and tell as much as you can."
Zhang Pan'an felt relieved after hearing Han Zhan's words. He said, "It must have been more than twelve years ago. My brother and I were only in our teens at the time, working as underlings in the Guangzhou area."
"At that time, we lived near the train station. In those days, the area around the train station was a place where people made money, and my brothers and I were responsible for robberies and other things there."
"That bastard Liu Dalun was extremely poor when he was little. He was a beggar. He and his brother would beg for money near the train station every day."
"When we brothers didn't get any, we would rob him. You know, that guy was quite good at begging for money. In those days, he could get more than 20 yuan a day."
Han Zhan listened calmly, his expression unchanged, but Song Ci frowned frequently. They even stole the beggar's money. The Zhang and Pan brothers were truly disgraceful.
"Under our oppression, Liu Dalun and his brother were always hungry and didn't have enough to eat. One day, it seemed like it was early winter and it was a bit cold."
The reason why I remember it so clearly is that they made a big deal that day, killed a woman, and got tens of thousands of cash.
The two brothers went to buy a cool leather jacket.
To this day, Zhang Panan still remembers the pleasant smell of the leather jacket.
Zhang Pan'an savored the smell of the jacket before slowly speaking, "When we were on our way to the train station, we saw Liu Dalun kneeling on the ground begging for food. He said his brother was starving to death."
"We saw his brother, emaciated, lying in a shelter. He looked starving. We usually liked to bully Liu Dalun, so my brother and I went to buy some steamed buns and dumplings. We sprinkled some laxative on the buns and lied to Liu Dalun that it was rat poison."
"My brother told Liu Dalun that if he knelt down and ate all the steamed buns, and kowtowed to us and thanked us, we would give him 1,000 yuan and let them live a good life."
"Actually, we wanted to tease Liu Dalun, but I didn't expect that Liu Dalun, knowing full well that he would die from eating the steamed buns, would actually kneel down and devour them in big mouthfuls."
"At that time, we brothers were stunned and felt a little regretful."
Zhang Pan'an was filled with hatred when it came to Liu Dalun, but he respected Liu Dalun himself.
How can we not admire a child who is only eight or nine years old for doing that for his younger brother?
At that time, Zhang Pan'an and Zhang Mao'an were somewhat moved and planned to give their brothers 100 yuan to let Liu Dalun go.
but...
"Before we finished the last steamed bun, Liu Dalun's brother suddenly woke up and rushed over to yell at him. The noise was quite loud and attracted the attention of the patrol. We had just killed someone and were most afraid of running into the police. After his brother made such a fuss, we left immediately."
"A few days later, when we went back, that mad dog Liu Dalun was chasing us with a machete and hacking us!" Zhang Pan'an pulled up his prison jacket, revealing the scar on his arm. "Look," he said, "that mad dog cut us!"
"Later, we were spotted by the police and rescued. That's when we learned that Liu Dalun's brother was missing. That's how the feud between us and Liu Dalun began."
After saying this, Zhang Pan'an felt aggrieved. He said, "We didn't really give him rat poison. We just wanted to tease him. If his brother got lost, it's not our fault!"
"His brother was just being pretentious and running around. He deserved to get lost. Why should he blame us..." Zhang Pan'an muttered to himself and complained.
After learning the truth about his brother eating steamed buns without telling him, Su Wen finally burst into tears.
The truth that he had buried in his heart for more than twenty years turned out to be like this!
His brother is not cheating on him, he is fighting for him!
The elder brother told him to get out and called him a burden, but that was not his intention at all. He was just angry at his recklessness, which caused them to lose a thousand yuan of life-saving money!
That was the thousand dollars my brother risked his life for!
He ran away in anger. His brother did not actively chase him, nor did he really want to abandon him. He was just angry.
Perhaps the elder brother really thought he had eaten rat poison and would soon die, so he didn't dare to chase after his younger brother, afraid to let his younger brother see him die...
Su Wen burst into tears.
He doesn't want such truth!
He would rather his brother was really greedy and really thought he was a burden than to hear such a heartbreaking truth...
