The sky is clear.
Louis came out of the logistics department and was familiar with the route.
Left here quickly.
Louis looked at the blue sky, a slight smile forming on his lips.
God is really cruel. It was raining heavily before, and now it’s like a bolt from the blue.
Is he really so heartless that he doesn't even know to stay a few steps for the deceased on a cloudy day before they leave?
With random thoughts in his mind, Louis walked into the city and hailed a taxi.
During the conversation with Shen Tianzong just now, he asked about the location of Zhang Jin's home.
Now, he is going to pass on the message.
Just as promised.
......
"Mom, isn't Dad back yet?"
Zhang Jin's home.
Zhang Ximeng leaned back on the soft brown sofa, playing with her mobile phone and asked absentmindedly.
The time now is already five o'clock in the afternoon.
She continued, "Didn't we agree that he would attend my parents' meeting tonight? Why hasn't he come back yet..."
There was a hint of disappointment in Zhang Ximeng's voice.
Fang Lan, who was picking leeks nearby, had a look of pity on her face. "No, your father will definitely be able to go this time. If he still refuses with the excuse that he is busy with work, I will go to the police station and make a scene. I will try to drag him back no matter what, whether he can have a peaceful day or not."
Hearing Fang Lan say this, Zhang Ximeng said "oh", she turned over, lay on the sofa, and buried her head in her two slender arms.
There was something grim on her face. She knew Fang Lan said this to comfort her, but at the same time, "Is he going to break his promise again..." Zhang Ximeng already knew the ending.
It looks like my mom will have to accompany me to the parent-teacher meeting again tonight. She was planning to give my dad a surprise.
Her academic performance this time has improved by ten places in the class compared to before.
The teachers all praised her for her great progress.
It's a pity, he probably won't be able to come.
It's like this every year. She thought this year would be different, but unexpectedly, in the end, it was still the same.
As expected, men’s words are lies. How could she believe his lies again?
I was looking forward to it so much, but in the end it was all in vain.
"Let's go!" Fang Lan suddenly shouted, threw the leeks she had picked into the iron basin, turned around and went to the washbasin to wash her hands, looking like she was going to sacrifice her own family for the sake of justice.
"I don't believe it. The police station is so busy. We have to bring him back today no matter what!"
Zhang Ximeng looked up at Fang Lan in some surprise. She thought her mother was just talking.
Before Zhang Ximeng could react, Fang Lan pulled her to put on her coat.
Just as they were about to go out.
Suddenly, the bell rang. "Ding Dong——"
Fang Lan showed a hint of joy on her face: "I told you that your father would not break his promise this time."
Zhang Ximeng's face was also moved.
However, after Fang Lan opened the door, both of their faces froze.
I saw a large wooden plaque with a few big red characters engraved on it [Home of First-Class Meritorious Service] being carried slowly into the room by two men in police uniforms.
Next came two more men, holding an urn in their hands, with a black-and-white photo of Zhang Jin on it.
"I'm sorry, the captain..."
Fang Lan and Zhang Ximeng could no longer hear any sounds that followed.
They just stared at the black and white photo quietly, somewhat absent-mindedly.
Fang Lan's steps now lost their previous vitality, as if they were filled with molten iron, dragging themselves forward. With trembling hands, she reached for the black and white photo on the urn, her voice becoming hoarse, "Where's Zhang Jin?"
"Where are you!!!"
With a thud, Fang Lan fell to her knees on the ground, tears streaming down her face. She screamed hysterically, and the room, which had been filled with a bit of joy, was instantly filled with coldness.
"How can you come back like this!!!"
"Oh my God, you are going to kill me!!!"
Zhang Ximeng looked at the black and white photo of Zhang Jin, the urn, and the plaque engraved with "Home of First-Class Meritorious Service", and felt that they were particularly conspicuous.
Her brain felt swollen and she almost fainted.
There is a feeling of suffocation.
She still hasn't reacted.
Zhang Jin is dead...
"How is it possible..."
"Liar! Big liar!!!"
"How could you die!!!"
Zhang Ximeng shouted hysterically. She grabbed the plaque of "Home of First-Class Meritorious Officials" and smashed it to the ground.
"I don't want this broken board!!!"
"I just want...my dad to come back!!!"
The police around were silent, like a silent mountain, suffocating.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Perhaps because their voices were hoarse from crying, Fang Lan and Zhang Ximeng stopped crying.
Zhang Ximeng bit her lower lip. She remembered what she said on her birthday...
"If you like your company so much, why don't you just erect a monument? Just stay there..."
At this moment, the voice was so harsh.
She even had some doubts, if she hadn't said this on his birthday, would Zhang Jin have survived? !
Self-blame, regret, and pain spread throughout Zhang Ximeng’s chest. She was almost going crazy!!!
Perhaps she couldn't stand the cold silence, or perhaps she couldn't stand the urn, the black and white photo, and the bright red plaque in front of her, so she ran out the door without even turning her head.
