In the previous life, Cheng Tianyi did look for Chu Tianjiao for his entire life.
In the early 1990s, he followed a few clues that seemed true or false, even crossing the border and going deep into the thieves' dens in Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar.
Of course, he got nothing in the end, and was unlucky enough to be trapped in a criminal organization for several years.
Because of this, he didn't know that Chu Tianjiao had been rescued at that time, and soon died, and he would never see him again in this life.
He had no idea that the uncontrollable passion that night at the beginning of the summer vacation in 1977 or 1978 would leave his lover in this world and also leave him a blood relative whose nickname was Tie Niu.
It was not until several years later, around 2000, that he met a young man in a village in Myanmar who looked about 60% similar to himself when he was young.
At that time, he had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with the young man named Chachai, and an exciting guess came to his mind. So he suppressed his inner excitement and sent a trustworthy person to Chachai's hometown to investigate this man's family background, life experience, etc.
During this period, he secretly protected the young man many times.
Unfortunately, in the photo of Chachai's family of three brought back by his subordinates, Chachai's mother was not his missing former lover.
The investigation results also showed that Chachai and his parents and grandparents were all native Vietnamese, which completely put an end to Cheng Tianyi's thoughts.
Several years passed like this, and because of this natural blood relationship, Cheng Tianyi and Chachai had become as close as father and son.
Cheng Tianyi, who was forced to fight his way through the village and take the second-in-command position, also provided a lot of convenience for Chachai's mysterious identity.
In the summer of 2006, Kang Li'an, the daughter of the village's top leader and drug lord Kang Qiu, returned from studying abroad and brought back a Chinese boyfriend named Mike.
With Kang Qiu's identity, he must have many suspicions about the people who suddenly appeared around him, but he loves his daughter dearly and cannot openly target this Mike of unknown origin, so he sends Cheng Tianyi and Tie Niu, who uses the alias Chacha, to investigate the origins of Mike.
He secretly signaled to the two that if Mike's identity was not a problem, then they must cut off his escape route and "get rid of" all his family members, so that he could feel at ease to let this kid follow his daughter wholeheartedly.
Cheng Tianyi and Tie Niu first flew to the United States and conducted an investigation on Mike's whereabouts in recent years in the city where Kang Lian and Mike studied abroad. Then they flew back to the Flower Country and went to Mike's hometown, Heilongjiang Province, to find out.
Judging from the superficial investigation results, Mike's resume is clean. He is an orphan who relied on his clever brain to work and study part-time and go to school smoothly. There is nothing to question, so they don't have to commit murder, which is good.
After checking Mike's identity, Cheng Tianyi and Tie Niu both said that they had some personal matters to attend to, so they asked several of their men to take the opportunity to leave first, and the two of them went to visit relatives and old acquaintances.
Unexpectedly, they both appeared outside the village where the Chu family lived at the same time.
After looking at each other, in a flash, both of them took out their knives and attacked to death.
Tears and blood covered their bodies and faces. In the end, Cheng Tianyi was more skilled and Tie Niu died first. Before he died, he was still tightly clutching a pocket watch around his neck.
Cheng Tianyi was also seriously injured. He dragged Tie Niu's body and moved him into the box truck he drove. Then he simply cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground and drove the body into the wild woods.
It was late at night, and the Qiao family, like most families in the village, were still asleep.
Cheng Tianyi dug a big hole in the deep woods, where few people went, threw the iron ox into the hole, and then filled the hole with a shovel.
He was covered in wounds, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. He was extremely reluctant, but for Chu Yingjie and the safety of everyone in the Chu family, he had to take action against Chachai, who was like his own child.
Chu Yingjie is Mike.
He is an undercover narcotics officer.
The first time Cheng Tianyi saw the photo that Kang Qiu handed over, he recognized him as a member of the Chu family, and he was also sure that he was the second son of Chu Tianjiao's second brother, Chu Yingjie, who graduated from the Criminal Police Academy.
This mission to investigate Mike was actually initiated by Cheng Tianyi. Only in this way could he protect Chu Tianjiao's nephew, and even help him and the Chinese police at critical moments in the future.
But what he hadn't expected was that even though everything was perfectly planned, Chachai had actually found his way into the village where the Chu family lived. He didn't know what had gone wrong, and at the moment, he couldn't afford to dwell on it. He only knew that for the Chu family's safety, he couldn't let Chachai leave.
.......
Tie Niu, who had the same purpose as him, thought the same thing. He had been wandering outside for many years and had not seen his grandmother and uncle again. This time, he was so close to them that he wanted to sneak over to see his relatives. Unexpectedly, he met Sang Bo (Cheng Tianyi's pseudonym) outside the village.
He didn't know what went wrong, but for the safety of his grandmother and her family, he must not let Sang Bo go before his cousin Chu Yingjie retired.
......
Tie Niu's body was covered with mud, and Cheng Tianyi had scattered a lot of rotten leaves and dead branches on it. Even if someone passed by here during the day, it would be difficult to find that a body had just been buried here.
Cheng Tianyi lit a cigarette, took a puff, and ended up choking and crying, and coughed up two mouthfuls of blood.
He threw the shovel back into the truck compartment. When he was about to close the compartment door, the mining lamp above his head shone on an object in the compartment, reflecting a dazzling light. He jumped into the car, picked up the thing and saw that it was a blood-stained pocket watch.
With a "click", Cheng Tianyi opened the clasp of his pocket watch, and a small photo on the inside of the watch cover came into his sight. In the photo, a woman in her thirties could be clearly seen, with two little boys leaning on either side of her. The taller one of them was vaguely recognizable as Chachai when he was a child.
Cheng Tianyi frowned and stared at the photo again and again. He always felt that the woman with a sad face looked familiar.
The truck was zigzagging on the empty road as if it was out of control. Cheng Tianyi was holding his chest and groaning in pain in the driver's seat. After he lost consciousness, the inertia of his body pushed the accelerator to the bottom, and he finally knocked over the thorns on the roadside, flew up, and rushed into the river beside the road.
The rushing river water quickly sank the car, and Cheng Tianyi disappeared silently between heaven and earth.
