They couldn't find Dongzi in the big city, and their lives became increasingly miserable. When all the money they had taken from home was gone, his brother had no choice but to take him out to beg.
During that period, they lived a very hard life. They often had to rely on two steamed buns for a day. The buns were often cold and hard, and Su Wen had to use his baby teeth to bite them into pieces and swallow them.
Occasionally, when they had money, they would have some fried rice noodles, and Su Wen and his brother would have to lick the grease off the plates.
These were such distant memories that Su Wen should have forgotten them all long ago, but on the way back, he recalled many old things.
Perhaps it was because he had been trained as a killer since childhood that Su Wen had a very strong ability in memory management. Therefore, as long as he had a strong desire to recall some memories, he would definitely remember them.
After returning to Wangdong City, Su Wen was immersed in those long-forgotten sad memories. He was in a very low mood, as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, and his chest hurt when he breathed.
Han Zhan saw Su Wen's pale face and suddenly asked, "Your brother's belongings are still in the dormitory. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Su Wen raised his head and took a few deep breaths. After the chest tightness subsided a little, he agreed.
The so-called dormitory is actually a high-end residential complex, and entry and exit require strict access control.
Long Yu swiped the owner card and took Han Zhan and the others into the community.
After Long Yu learned that the man sitting next to him was Allen's younger brother, his attitude changed 180 degrees. He looked at him as if he were his own brother, especially kindly and enthusiastically.
As they walked, Long Yu explained to Su Wen, "This residential complex is owned by Mr. Han. All seven buildings are occupied by Zeus International employees. Allen, Da She, and I live in one suite."
Long Yu brought Su Wen back home.
As soon as he entered the house, Su Wen looked up and saw a group photo hanging on the wall of the living room. It was a photo of a year-end dinner party. In the photo, a group of men and four or five women were standing shirtless behind a hot pot table, all with smiling faces.
Su Wen recognized his brother in the crowd at a glance.
His brother was as tall as Han Zhan, nearly 1.9 meters. But Han Zhan had a figure that made him look thin when dressed and muscular when undressed, while he had a figure that made him look strong and muscular even when dressed.
The petite Long Yu happened to be standing next to Allen, so Su Wen recognized Allen at a glance.
Su Wen looked away from the photo and scanned the hall. The dormitory was simply decorated. On the clean coffee table lay a few military books and a neatly stacked deck of playing cards, clearly indicating that this was a house for retired single men.
Long Yu pointed to the empty training room and said, "Your brother's room has been occupied. Da She and I have collected your brother's things and piled them in the training room, hoping that one day someone will come to claim them."
He thought he would never see that day, but unexpectedly, he actually waited for Allen's younger brother.
"We don't know what's important, so we packed up the things that seem important. Xiaojun..." Influenced by Allen, Long Yu and the others subconsciously thought that Su Wen was called Xiaojun.
When Xiaojun was called out, Long Yu realized that something was wrong and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Su Wen, go in and take a look yourself. We won't disturb you."
Su Wen already knew that Long Yu and Da She had been the ones to bury his brother. He was truly grateful to Long Yu. "Thank you, Brother Long. Also, you can just call me Xiaojun from now on."
Long Yu sighed and patted Su Wen's shoulder, telling him: "Alan and I have known each other for more than ten years. We are as close as brothers. Su Wen, just treat me as your brother."
Su Wen nodded and went straight into the training room.
Only then did Long Yu remember that Han Zhan and the others were still here, so he quickly invited Han Zhan and the two beautiful ladies to take a seat.
Long Yu and his family didn't like coffee, and they rarely drank tea. There was only bottled mineral water in the house. Long Yu was embarrassed. He scratched his head and said to Song Ci, "Madam, I never thought you would come to our house. There is only mineral water. Do you want some?"
Song Ci likes anything she drinks. "Drink."
Orianna: "I drink too."
Long Yu took out the sterilized cup and was about to pour water when she heard Han Zhan say, "Madam doesn't drink cold water."
During Song Ci's pregnancy, Han Zhan hardly allowed her to drink cold water or eat ice cream. After she gave birth, Han Zhan still forbade her from eating raw or cold food, saying that she needed to take care of herself after giving birth, otherwise she would suffer from postpartum illness.
In some ways, Han Zhan is very stubborn and conservative.
Later, after being beaten by Edward, Song Ci completely became a fragile porcelain baby, unable to be touched, dropped, or even touched by cold water. Therefore, under Han Zhan's coercion, Song Ci had become accustomed to drinking warm water and was no longer used to drinking cold water.
Long Yu also knew how much Mr. Han cared about his wife, so he had no complaints. He found the teapot and honestly boiled a pot of water.
The atmosphere outside the living room was quite lively, but in the training room, when Su Wen found the train tickets that Allen had hidden in the tin box, he broke down again.
These train tickets, high-speed rail tickets, and plane tickets are the evidence left behind by people Allen visited over the years after receiving news of his suspected brother's whereabouts.
On the back of each bill was a paragraph of words, all written by Allen after his disappointment and heartbreak. The words were small, crammed together, and looked messy.
Allen has little education and his handwriting is not very beautiful. Su Wen has learned Chinese for his job needs, so he can recognize those characters.
——During my trip to Wanzhou, I met a boy who looked like Xiaojun. Xiaojun would never rob someone even if he was starving to death, but he did.
