Chapter 250: Because I Have a Family [Part 2]

Cheng Gong stood there in a daze.

I was left speechless by this series of questions.

Xiao Tao pursed his lips, and understood him, and said again: "In addition to this suspect, you also have to go to the Public Security Bureau with us."

Zhou Dongmeng saw this and said, "I'll go with you too."

He was worried that Cheng Gong couldn't handle it alone.

Xiao Tao nodded: "Okay."

Under everyone's gaze, Haozi was handcuffed and put into the police car. Zhou Dongmeng drove Cheng Gong's Santana and took him to the Public Security Bureau behind the police car.

…

In the car.

Cheng Gong had an expressionless face as he sat in the passenger seat, his head tilted against the window, his eyes dull and his scattered gaze fixed on nowhere, making him look lifeless.

Zhou Dongmeng gripped the steering wheel, glanced at him, and said, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

“…”

"Didn't you get the money back?"

“…”

Cheng Gong was silent for a long time, then he sniffed hard and said in a deep voice: "Am I upset because of the money?"

Zhou Dongmeng laughed: "Is it because of people?"

“…”

Cheng Gong was silent for a while, then he sat up straight, rubbed his face with his hands, and said slowly: "When I was still showing videos on the roadside, Haozi started to follow me. We were really poor at that time. We had no food to eat. Many of my brothers couldn't stand it. Some left, some went home. Only Haozi stayed by my side. Later, when I opened a dance hall, he helped me run it."

After hearing this, Zhou Dongmeng smiled and said, "We have to look forward, Boss Cheng."

Cheng Gong turned his head and looked out the window. The streets were bustling with people, and everyone had a smile on their face. He had just negotiated a cooperation with the steel plant yesterday, but such a great event did not make him happy.

He said in a sad tone: "People should not forget their roots."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Dong suddenly turned the steering wheel hard, and the entire car body twisted violently to the left.

Cheng Gong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, hit his body and head against the car window beside him due to sudden inertia. He clicked his tongue, turned his head to look at Zhou Dongmeng, and cursed in a low voice.

"Can you drive?"

Zhou Dongmeng raised the corners of his lips and smiled happily: "I drove it in the army."

When Cheng Gong saw the smile on his face, he felt a lump in his throat: "I'm in such a bad mood, and you still have the mood to laugh. You are just adding insult to injury."

Zhou Dongmeng: "Is there a direct connection between your discomfort and my happiness?"

“…”

"No car can go straight all the time. Your good brother is no longer the one who will endure hardships with you. From the moment he deducted the compensation, he has been blinded by money. Boss Cheng is a smart man. He knows the reason but he keeps trying to avoid it. Why?"

Cheng Gong folded his hands in front of him and muttered, "Cars don't go in a straight line..."

He snorted coldly: "Humph, then I can't guarantee that in a few years, you will be as greedy for money as Haozi? After all, people will change."

Zhou Dongmeng looked forward: "I can't."

Cheng Gong snorted again, obviously not believing what he said, but he still asked in the end: "Why can't you?"

“Because I have a family.”

"Bullshit, Haozi also has a wife, and three more children than you, but he's still the same..." He opened his mouth but didn't say the following words, and finally sighed angrily.

Zhou Dong turned the steering wheel sharply and parked the car in the yard of the Public Security Bureau.

After turning off the engine, he turned sideways to look at the man, patted the steering wheel, and said earnestly: "Boss Cheng, I am a car, and my wife is the one who always holds the steering wheel. If she tells me to go east, I will not go west."
