That night, I was having dinner at Zhang's house when Xuanxuan suddenly ran out of the house, pulled me straight into the house, and said something like, "Brother Xu Fei, you're on TV!"
Before I could react, I ran into the house and saw a TV on the counter. The picture was showing a man in a sweatshirt jumping down from a building... To be exact, he was flying down... and then landed safely!
When the camera zoomed in, I saw that it was me, the master.
Holy shit, I'm actually on TV? Damn, good news never gets out, but bad news travels a thousand miles...
The scariest part was the caption below: "An unidentified man, resembling a superhero, fell from over 30 floors of a building to the ground, emerging unharmed, shocking local residents!"
My face was filled with black lines. I felt that I couldn't stay in this city anymore, otherwise I would be caught and used as a guinea pig sooner or later.
"Brother Xu Fei, you are so awesome! You can actually fly!" At this moment, in Xuanxuan's eyes, I was almost like a hero or a superman. Her eyes were full of admiration, just like some star-chasers.
I said bitterly: "Actually, that person is not me, he just looks as handsome as me!"
Xuanxuan is simple after all. After hearing what I said, she seemed a little disappointed: "I originally wanted you to take me flying!"
I can't even fly myself, how can I take you flying? If it weren't for Zhang Shaoqi, this ghost, taking me flying, I would have fallen to my death by now!
After coaxing her for a while, I finally managed to get Xuanxuan to calm down. I went back outside and continued to eat with Uncle Zhang. During the meal, Uncle Zhang talked about the building and I looked at him in surprise.
Uncle Zhang said that among the skyscrapers in the city center, one, called the Fuyuan Building, had suffered an accident nearing completion a year ago, killing a whole group of veteran workers. Most importantly, Uncle Zhang knew the investor: Luo Qingguo, also known as Mr. Luo. My eyes widened in disbelief.
Luo Qingguo!
Huo Yan's husband, Luo Yujia and Huo Liang's father!
Uncle Zhang suspected that the accident was secretly carried out by Luo Qingguo, which killed many people. The police intervened in the matter at that time, but there has been no result until now.
I was very surprised. If it was as Uncle Zhang said, then Luo Qingguo seemed to be the "Old Dong" that Zhang Bin mentioned. However, Luo Qingguo was assassinated by Ning Xue a year ago. Calculating the time, when Luo Qingguo died, the building should not have been completed, which was the time when Uncle Zhang said it was about to be completed.
Therefore, we can infer that after Luo Qingguo's death, construction on the building was suspended for a period of time. I remember Cheng Qian telling me this before. However, Cheng Qian said at the time, "Due to an incident, it was not used for a period of time and was only recently reopened." I don't think she fully explained this. The so-called "recently used" must be her memory stuck at a year ago, so in summary, it is "recently a year ago."
After all, Cheng Qian didn't know she was dead at first. Even though she was already planning with Liao Zhiyuan to kill innocent people like the students who knew the truth, she didn't know she was dead. It wasn't until today, after I kicked her off the building, that I suddenly remembered that she was dead. Of course, how she died, no one knows except her.
Not long after the construction of the building was stopped, it started again. I boldly speculated that the investor who succeeded Luo Qingguo was undoubtedly Huo Liang. In other words, the final executor of the construction of this building was Huo Liang. Then, the final instigator of the major accident was also Huo Liang!
I was secretly shocked. If my guess was right, Huo Liang's crime would be enough to put him in prison for life or even executed. I instantly thought of Zhao Xi. If Huo Liang went to jail or died, what would happen to Zhao Xi?
My heart sank.
"You're caught between a crush and a sense of justice. It's really difficult for you," Su Xiaoniu said calmly. "That's why I told you from the beginning, don't overdo it. Now, what are you going to do? Are you going to give up, or do you want to sacrifice your own life for the greater good?"
Killing one's relatives for the sake of justice? Wow, isn't Su Xiaoniu's description too exaggerated?
"I don't know..." Shaking my head, I took the bottle of wine from the table.
"No drinking! Do you hear me?" Su Xiaoniu shouted angrily.
I ignored her and drank the wine in one breath. Seeing how much I could drink, Uncle Zhang decisively brought out some aged wine, saying that it was a girl's red wine that was more than 30 years old, and he wanted to drink with me until I was drunk.
I started drinking with Uncle Zhang without hesitation. I was so drunk that I couldn't tell which way was which. When I regained consciousness, I realized I was already at Su Xiaoniu's hometown. I didn't know how I got back, so I didn't care and fell asleep.
I slept until two or three in the afternoon of the next day. My head was still a little groggy, so I got up, washed my face, and then sat in the backyard in a daze. There was a vegetable stall in the backyard. I had gone there when I was bored before and planted some vegetable seedlings. Now they have started to sprout and are green.
I just sat there looking at the vegetable shop from three in the afternoon until the evening. I couldn't believe how I managed to get through those hours. I was just too lazy to move.
I didn't come to my senses until I heard Xuanxuan's voice outside. She must be asking me to finish my meal. I said I wasn't hungry and asked them to eat first. Xuanxuan saw that my tone was a little off and that I seemed to be in a bad mood, so she left without saying anything.
A week passed like this, and I stayed at Su Xiaoniu's home, not going out, eating the only remaining bread and instant noodles.
