Sure enough, after the two got out of the car, they saw Secretary Yan carrying some things and heading straight to Huashikou Hutong.
The alley was narrow, and Jiang Si didn't dare to get too close.
Not long after, Secretary Yan stopped in front of a small courtyard with a white banner hanging in the air.
Then the door opened, and he went inside.
However, he was shoved and pushed out of the room in less than five minutes.
As for the things he brought, they were unceremoniously thrown into the alley.
"You killed my son, and now you're here pretending to be all righteous, bringing these things. What are you trying to do?"
Tan's mother spat at him, "You want us to forgive you? Dream on!"
"Mom, why are you wasting your breath talking to this murderer!"
As he spoke, the eldest son of the Tan family grabbed a carrying pole from the yard and rushed out.
They had suspected from the beginning that the second son's death was not simple.
The second son is honest and upright, and never speaks ill of others behind their backs.
He would never have done such a thing unless someone forced or threatened him!
Who else in the company could pose a threat to him besides his immediate superior, Yan Weiliang?
"Boss, stop right now!" Although Tan's mother was angry, she still retained a sliver of rationality.
"Mom, don't stop me! I'm going to beat him to death today!"
Tan Laoda had had this idea for a while, but the construction department's family compound was strictly managed, and he couldn't get in.
Today, this person finally came to his doorstep. If he didn't seek justice for his unjustly killed brother, he would feel unworthy of being a brother.
"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?!"
Tan's mother grabbed his arm tightly, "The second son is already gone. If anything else happens to you, how will your father and I live?"
As she said this, Tan's mother's voice was already trembling with sobs.
The neighbors were also talking about it.
"I'm sorry... I..." Since his serious illness, Secretary Yan has been very weak, and now he can only speak in a weak breath.
You can't hear what he's saying unless you listen carefully.
He wanted to explain.
But Tan's mother didn't give him a chance to speak. "Stop your crocodile tears! You've already killed my son, what's the use of saying all this now!"
"If you really feel sorry for us, there's a river right in front of you. Go ahead and jump in now if you dare!"
A life for a life. If he really dared to jump, Tan's mother would still respect him as a man with courage and responsibility.
Unfortunately, he wasn't!
If so, he should have come here to repent on the very day the incident occurred.
Instead of waiting until they're desperate to come and offer a fake apology!
Sure enough, the moment that thought crossed my mind, I heard Secretary Yan say, "I... I can't die now..."
"Ha!" Mother Tan couldn't help but sneer a few times.
She turned around and went back into the house, where she fetched a basin of cold water and splashed it on Secretary Yan's face.
"Get out! Get out of here! The Tan family never wants to see you again!"
After saying that, Tan's mother slammed the door shut.
The door was closed, but the chatter in the alley continued.
They were all old neighbors who had lived together for decades, so naturally, everyone's words were biased towards the Tan family.
Moreover, they had watched the second son of the Tan family grow up.
Everyone was already saddened by his death, and now, after hearing what Tan's mother said, they were even more convinced that the person in front of them was the murderer who killed the second son of the Tan family.
But since this wasn't their own family matter, they couldn't just take action directly.
While the adults were still hesitant, the children didn't have as many concerns.
It's unclear who started it, but soon, one after another, sandbag-sized stones and clods of earth began to rain down on Secretary Yan.
He staggered slightly, but did not flinch.
Besides the whistling wind, all I could hear were sharp curses and the jeering of children.
As the world spun around me, the figures in front of me gradually began to blur and distort.
He felt as if his last bit of strength had been drained away.
Until his body crashed heavily to the ground.
When I woke up again, I was already lying in a hospital bed.
Smelling the familiar scent of disinfectant, Secretary Yan looked blankly at the nurse who was giving him an IV drip.
"How...how did I get here?"
The nurse didn't know what was going on either; she only knew that a young woman had brought him there.
"A...young girl?"
"yes."
The nurse nodded. "She's in her early twenties and very pretty."
After saying that, he asked curiously, "Don't you know her?"
Secretary Yan shook his head.
"That's really strange," the nurse muttered.
The girl not only took him to the hospital, but also paid a few yuan of his medical expenses.
There aren't many good people like this these days.
The nurse was puzzled by the same thing, and on the way back to the city, Officer Chen also asked her the same question.
"Comrade Jiang, why did you help him just now?"
However, Jiang Si remained silent when faced with this question.
She didn't know what was wrong with her.
Just now, she even wondered if she was having a blissful moment.
Otherwise, how could she have felt pity for such a person!
But her intuition told her that she had to do it.
This question had been weighing on Jiang Si's mind.
She was still somewhat restless even after arriving at work in the afternoon.
So much so that I almost missed a step while going upstairs.
"Hey, be careful!" Just then, a concerned voice came from behind.
