Chapter 1: Old Things and Old People



Chen Tinghan shook his head but did not move. Out of some cautious habit, Wang Jinling glanced at his coat and did not notice anything. She thought she was being too suspicious. When he was a student, he always wore a coat, either draped over his shoulders or tied around his waist.

What a pity, it's not the right time yet... She smiled slightly and said, "Seeing that you are not doing well, I am not happy either. You can just ask for it. What do you want? A job? Or more directly, money, a car, a house? As long as you ask, I can give it to you in Wanghai City."

Chen Tinghan snorted, laughed and shook his head.

"You don't believe it?" Wang Jinling raised her eyebrows and said.

"I believe that Wang Jinling can even take pearls from the bottom of the sea while she's at Wanghai. She might even be able to pluck the moon from the sky. I have no doubt about this." Chen Tinghan said with a smile, "Whoever you want to ascend to heaven will become a god in heaven. Whoever you want to die will go to hell. This includes your own father."

Wang Jinling looked at him, sighed deeply, and said, "Let's go out for a walk."

"good."

It was midsummer, and it was also the students' holiday, which was the peak tourist season for this beach. There were inevitably people coming and going. In the coolness, even if you ignored Wang Jinling's appearance and only looked at her mourning clothes, she seemed out of place with the surroundings. Chen Tinghan didn't want to look at her. Although he was walking on the cobblestone path, his eyes were already cast on the distant beach.

Chen Tinghan said: "I knew about your father Wang Kai's death the moment he passed away. It is said that he died of a myocardial infarction.

As far as I know, Wang Kai is a man who cherishes his life very much. He is very wealthy and gets full physical examinations three times a year. His health is disgusting. He perfectly proves what is meant by "a disaster lasts for a thousand years." How could a man like him suddenly suffer a heart attack? Is it that God suddenly opened his eyes? So I immediately thought of you.

Wang Jinling laughed and shook her head. "After all these years, I thought time had finally smoothed over your stubborn temper. You came to me to reconcile, or was it just wishful thinking on my part? But you yourself said Wang Kai was a nuisance, and you're still going after me because of him?"

"He is a disaster and not worth mentioning. What's important is you. What kind of person are you after killing your father with your own hands?" Chen Tinghan said.

Wang Jinling took off her thin black gloves and said as she walked, "You are right about me, so I won't hide it from you. Wang Kai is indeed in good health, but even the healthiest people have weaknesses. Everyone has weaknesses, and you are no exception. Fifteen years have passed, and now you have fallen to this point. If you still think you can play, then let's continue and see if you can be the next Wang Kai, or your family, or your friends.

I don't want to threaten you so bluntly, but after fifteen years, I'm a little tired of you. I really like you. If you don't want to continue, the previous promises are still valid, money, house..."

Wang Jinling paused, her eyes sparkling with light as she said, "Even women."

Chen Tinghan didn't respond, but suddenly said, "I used to think that my life was my own. No matter how I lived, whether I died of old age, exhaustion, or illness, it was all my own business. Being poor was my own fault. Actually, my family used to be quite wealthy, but after a few years, business went south. Then my parents got sick, from poverty and overwork, and then they developed cancer. First my dad, then my mom. It was in the late stages before I even realized it.

We're a large family, and a few years ago, relatives fell ill. Seeing how utterly tormented they were, my two elders said that if they got sick themselves, they'd just die, to avoid dying without dignity and burdening their children. But who doesn't fear death?... We started selling houses and cars, everything we could. I had no money, so I ended up burdening my sister, and making my in-laws miserable.

"I don't feel like I'm a burden. I just want to live. What's wrong with that? I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. At that time, I really wanted to ask you for help. If you want me to kneel, I will kneel. If you want me to die, I will die."

Wang Jinling said angrily, "Then you should come. As long as you ask, I will give it to you. I don't want you to kneel, as long as you stand by me."

Chen Tinghan looked calm, as if the tragedy he was describing was someone else's. He said, "This is what I can't accept the most. I'm either unfaithful or unfilial. It's a dilemma. I can only try to deceive myself, saying that my parents are already in the late stages and no amount of money can cure them. All I can do is put aside everything I'm doing and spend the last few days with my family.

After the two elders left, I learned about Wang Kai's death. In fact, I have no evidence to prove how Wang Kai died. It's just a guess. It would be better if you told me directly. I really can't understand what kind of person can even kill his own father.

Wang Jinling smiled and said, "You are the best detective. Why don't you check it yourself?"

"Even a detective can't find out about other people's family affairs." Chen Tinghan shook his head. "Besides, who could possibly find out what Wang Jinling is so determined to hide? I'm really curious about what kind of family could raise someone like you. I hope you can explain this to me."

As they walked, they unknowingly walked into a parking lot near the beach. The rows of coconut trees were neither too tall nor too short, just enough to block out the bleak moonlight. It was quiet and deserted.

Wang Jinling lowered her eyelashes and said sarcastically, "What do you want to hear? A tragic family story, a kind-hearted girl who accidentally went astray, and a story of redemption? No, don't bother with that.

There are only two ways for you to stop me. Either send me to jail or shoot me. I'm harder to kill now, so you can go back in time and kill that idiot little girl who is still in school.

Going back to the past is somewhat difficult, so I wonder if you have gathered enough evidence in the past fifteen years to put me in jail?"

Chen Tinghan suddenly laughed, very happily. He reached into his waist and suddenly took out a... gun.

The black muzzle of the gun was pressed against Wang Jinling's forehead, and it was extremely cold. At that moment, she seemed to smell an ominous smell of rust, and her pupils shrank.
