After learning that Hu Fei had left, Fei Lichao and Sister Jing had different expressions.
Fei Lichao looked disappointed and regretful, as if he felt Hu Fei shouldn't have left. Sister Jing sighed and said, "He has his own things to do. Since he wants to leave, we can't force him to stay. As long as we're alive, we'll definitely meet again in the future."
I agree with Sister Jing's opinion. Hu Fei has his own things to do, just as we have our own things to do.
We cannot force others to do anything.
Although Hu Fei stayed with us for more than a month, he never talked about his own affairs, which clearly showed that he did not want to get too involved with us.
Now that he's going to see his parents, I guess he's afraid we'll go with him, so he's leaving quietly.
I hope he can live a peaceful life, and I hope he can find his parents smoothly. I don't know if we'll ever meet again, but I hope we can still be friends if we do.
Time flies.
Two days later, one morning, Zhang Zhihao drove to the school.
He came alone.
"Brother Lu!" Zhang Zhihao came to the dormitory door, stood in front of me, and asked, "Brother Lu, why did you leave the day before yesterday? I only found out today, so I drove over to find you right away."
I couldn't be bothered to think about what happened yesterday, so I asked, "Haven't you been in the neighborhood these past few days?"
Zhang Zhihao said, "I went out on some business and it wasn't resolved until today. I heard about your departure as soon as I got back to the neighborhood this morning. I said, 'Brother Lu, the neighborhood is pretty good, why did you leave?'"
I smiled and said, "Let's not talk about that now. Go to the conference room and wait. I'll go and call Lao Fei and Sister Jing down."
"oh."
Zhang Zhihao went to the conference room.
I went up to the third floor, where Sister Jing and Fei Lichao were cleaning their guns.
After I pushed the door open and entered, Sister Jing asked me, "Xiao Hao is here?"
I nodded. "Yes, they're waiting in the conference room downstairs. Let's go over there together and discuss the trip to Wutong City."
Fei Lichao said, "Didn't this kid mention that neighborhood?"
I said, "He brought it up, but I didn't answer him. Let's talk about the neighborhood later. Anyway, we're not really interested in staying there."
Indeed, all we can say is that the situation in Jiangbei is too complicated, and we don't want to get involved.
Zhang Zhihao definitely knows some inside information, but he didn't say anything, and I didn't want to press him for details.
Fei Lichao and Sister Jing put down their guns and followed me into the conference room.
There used to be twelve people in the meeting room, but now only the four of us are left.
When Zhang Zhihao saw us coming, he smiled and said, "Sister Jing, Brother Lu, why don't you come back with me today? It's a bit dangerous for just the three of you to live here. If you come back with me, Zhihao will be very safe in the neighborhood."
I raised my hand and said, "Let's not talk about that now. We can discuss whether or not I should stay in your neighborhood later. Since you're here now, we can discuss going to Wutong City to find Zhou Liang."
Zhang Zhihao's expression changed upon hearing this.
I said, "We discussed this before and guessed that Pu Weichao might be in Wutong City dealing with Zhou Liang right now, so we plan to go and take a look. Although Wutong City is not as big as Jiajiang City, it is still a city. So, if you'd like, come with us and see if we can find him."
Zhang Zhihao frowned, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
I stared at him, feeling a little uneasy.
The Zhang Zhihao of today is not the same Zhang Zhihao who used to listen to me.
He is now the captain of the field service team in Jiangbei Community. Since he was able to become the captain, he must have his own methods and ideas.
So I didn't force him to go to Wutong City.
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Zhihao said, "Brother Lu, could you give me two days?"
I was taken aback. "Is there something you need?"
Zhang Zhihao nodded, "Yes, there are still some things I haven't finished in the community. And if I want to leave, I definitely have to discuss it with the people in the community first. I can't just leave rashly, otherwise the people in the community will worry about me."
I nodded to show my understanding. "Okay, you should take care of your business first. Once you've settled things, come find us, and then we'll set off."
“Okay!” Zhang Zhihao agreed, then asked, “Um, Brother Lu, are you really not coming back with me?”
I laughed and said, "I told you, we'll talk about this later."
"Oh, okay, okay."
At the end of the conversation, I asked, "Zhang Zhihao, would you like to visit your brother-in-law's grave?"
“My brother-in-law…” Zhang Zhihao froze, then his eyes filled with sadness, and he nodded slightly, “I want to go see him.”
Looking at his expression, I didn't know what to say. Everyone got on the bus and headed to the industrial park.
Two days ago, after Hu Fei left, I went out by myself and found Li Qiming and his son, who had been completely eaten and were starting to rot, at the door of my safe house.
I packed them up, loaded them into the car, and then transported them to the industrial park.
Previously, I wanted to bury Zhou Liang after killing him, but now I think that idea was too naive and I felt quite sorry for Li Qiming and his son.
So I buried them in the industrial park.
In just over half an hour, we drove to the industrial park.
We arrived at the place where we were forced to kneel down, the same place where Zhou Liang killed Yan Zhengfeng.
Their tombstones are in the grove of trees on the edge.
There are four tombs inside: Yunlan, Chenjing, Yan Zhengfeng, and Li Qiming and his son.
Zhang Zhihao stood in front of these four graves. I saw his fists clenched tightly and his whole body trembling, but there were no tears in his eyes, only hatred.
If it were the old Zhang Zhihao, he would definitely have cried in the face of such a scene.
But now he remained silent, only harboring unspoken hatred. I couldn't help but sigh; this kid had changed, become completely different from before.
I don't know if it's good or bad.
...
Three more days passed.
The three of us waited at the school for three days.
Three days later, at 8:30 a.m., Zhang Zhihao drove to the school again.
However, this time, he didn't come alone; he brought two people with him. We knew one of them, but we had never met the other.
"Hello, Dr. Lu, we meet again." Sun Zichen laughed heartily while holding the gun, and waved to us from downstairs in the dormitory building.
The three of us went downstairs.
When I approached Zhang Zhihao, I asked, "Why did you bring two more people with you?"
Zhang Zhihao laughed and said, "Brother Lu, it's easier to get things done with more people. The four of us alone are too few. Adding two more won't hurt, right? Besides, these two are tired of staying in the neighborhood and want to get some fresh air."
"Oh, I see." I glanced at the outgoing Sun Zichen, then turned my gaze to another stranger.
When this stranger met my gaze, he extended his hand and smiled, saying, "Hello, Dr. Lu. My name is Fang Lin. Lin is the character with the rain radical on top and the forest radical below."
"Hello." I shook hands with him.
