Zhou Mo was silent for a moment, then said, "There is no necessary connection between the two. Wang Hao, don't always put the blame on yourself. Some things cannot be avoided just because you want to."
"I just hate..." I clenched my fists and said softly, "I hate that I can't protect you."
"You've done very well." Zhou Mo said, "Look, no one blames you. Instead, they all remember your kindness. This is very telling. Everyone is a reasonable person. They know that some things are unavoidable, and they are not something you can control."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now." I said, "At least for now, I still like my current life and don't want to go back to school." After a pause, I continued, "Besides, without you guys around, what's the point of me going back?"
Zhou Mo blinked his eyes: "You are stupid, we can go with you. You tell us which school you want to go to, and then you give an order, and see who will not follow you?" I was amused: "Do I have such a strong appeal?" Zhou Mo said: "Absolutely, I dare not say others, but at least my third sister and I will definitely follow you to the end."
I touched my nose and said, "Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes are gone, are you still calling me 'Third Sister'?" Zhou Mo said, "I'm used to it. And the eldest sister has recently come out to carry the banner, saying that she wants to revive the prestige of the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes, and wants you to take the position of the boss. I wonder if you..." My face immediately sank: "I'm not interested." Zhou Mo nodded: "I know you would say that. In the final analysis, you are still prejudiced against the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes. Hou Shengshuo is no longer our boss. And the new dragon throne is held by Xiaochun, Lei Yu, Zhou Qiangqiang and others. Do you have no good feelings towards the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes?"
Thinking of these people, my heart did melt a little, but I still said, "Forget it, I'm really not interested." After a pause, he said, "But I can recommend a boss for you. His ability, reputation, and connections are obvious to all." Zhou Mo smiled and said, "You mean Ye Zhan, he is indeed within our consideration range. And with Xiaochun and the others, Ye Zhan is indeed very suitable to be the boss. It's just that our first choice is still you, after all, you are our real core person."
I exhaled and said, "Let's go with Ye Zhan. He will definitely be able to do a good job. Besides, he is still in Beiyuan No. 7 Middle School, so it will be much more convenient for him to be with you. As for me, I will just honestly open my own spicy hot pot shop in Dongguan Town."
"Alas..." Zhou Mo sighed and said nothing more.
The car arrived at Beiyuan very quickly and drove to the People's Court. On the way, I had asked Zhou Mo if he had any inside information, whether Hou Shengshuo would be sentenced to death or not. Zhou Mo said with certainty that he would not, because after the police's exploration and investigation, Hou Shengshuo did not kill intentionally, he just fired a shot randomly, and this shot happened to hit Yang Mengying's chest. In fact, I had guessed this result a long time ago. First, Hou Shengshuo's target was originally me, and he definitely didn't want to hit Yang Mengying in the end. Second, Hou Shengshuo's gun couldn't be so accurate, the only possibility was that he fired a shot randomly.
Although I guessed it was like this, I still felt unhappy and asked again: "How many years will he be sentenced to?" Zhou Mo said: "Sister Nan Nan has already done some lobbying, so it's not a problem to sentence him to 20 years." I smiled: "That's fine, I'd rather let him live a life worse than death than let him die easily." Zhou Mo looked at me puzzledly: "What do you want to do?"
I smiled and said nothing more. There was naturally a hint of malice in my smile. When we arrived at the People's Court, everyone was waiting. When they saw Zhou Mo and I get off the car, they all came to greet us. Yu Chengfei and Cheng Gaozhong didn't come, and even Brickhead didn't come. Brickhead certainly didn't want to see Hou Shengshuo again. As for Cheng Gaozhong, they didn't have any feelings for Hou Shengshuo, and Yu Chengfei and others just didn't bother to come here. So those who were waiting at the scene were the North Seven, He Juan, Bai Qing, Qi Siyu, Wang Hai, Xiaochun, Lei Yu, Zhou Qiangqiang, Zhao Wenpu, Cao Hongbin... Everyone greeted me in a flurry, blaming me for not coming to get together with everyone for a long time. I had to apologize repeatedly and tell everyone that I was too busy recently. Everyone asked me when I would return to Beiyuan, and I could only talk about other things and cover up the topic.
Then I rushed to the court with everyone else. The court opened on time at 10 a.m. Hou Shengshuo was brought in by two bailiffs in a yellow prison uniform. He saw us at a glance and smiled at us. Xiaochun and the others couldn't help it at the time and immediately started cursing, and were driven out by the bailiffs. I was thinking, laugh, see how long you can laugh. The presiding judge first listed Hou Shengshuo's crimes, and then sentenced Hou Shengshuo to 18 years in prison according to Article XX of the Criminal Law. He was transferred to Beiyuan City No. 1 Prison to serve his sentence today. This result was within our expectations, so no one was too surprised.
After the verdict was made, when Hou Shengshuo was taken away, he turned his head and smiled at me. Naturally, I smiled at him too, then made a pistol shape with my hand and mouthed, "Pah!" Hou Shengshuo's face suddenly darkened. That's right, I always hate his pretending to be calm. He's already serving his sentence and still acting so arrogant.
I left the court with everyone else and went to the Municipal People's Hospital to visit Ye Zhan. Ye Zhan had been transferred to the general ward. When we passed by, he was walking around the bed, and his steps were trembling, just like an elderly man. When Ye Zhan's parents saw us coming in, they greeted us warmly, especially to me, and blamed me for leaving without saying a word. I was very reserved and polite and said that I was not feeling well that day, etc. After a long conversation of polite words, Ye Zhan's parents said you guys chat, we will go out for a walk, and then handed the ward to us kids.
