Lu Zhiye didn't show up just now. In fact, after Director Hao arrived, he deliberately hid in the crowd. The reason was simple: he wanted to see clearly who was behind Director Hao!
Lu Zhiye caused such a big commotion in the new province. Although Jiang Huaiqing's death was not because of Lu Zhiye, people always like to look at the people who are in the public eye as the cause of a matter!
Lu Zhiye was the most conspicuous. Some people might think that if Lu Zhiye hadn't pursued the matter, these things might not have been exposed, and Jiang Huaiqing might not have died.
This idea was even faintly present in the minds of some members of the Jiang family!
It's just that with the leader keeping things under control, no one has come to settle scores with Lu Zhiye.
Just as Old Kong took out Old Xu's small wooden box, a figure sneakily slipped away!
Old Kong quickly put down the box and pulled the man out: "I had suspected before that there was a mole among our group!"
Otherwise, why would Director Hao always interfere whenever there's something important to discuss?
Today I finally understand—it turns out you were the mole!
The young man who was caught struggled violently and almost pushed Lao Kong to the ground!
But who is Lao Kong? Back in the day, he wielded a big red sword on the battlefield, charging into the enemy camp several times and returning unscathed.
He was really skilled; with one of his men, he twisted the man's arm into a pretzel and slammed him to the ground!
“Meng Qing, we saved you when you were starving to death!”
For so many years, you've been helping out the people in the hutong courtyard, and we've truly treated you like family!
Every household took money from their own demobilization allowance to pay you a salary and even helped you get married. Why would you do something like this?
Lu Zhiye was standing casually in the corner when he suddenly heard the surname Meng, and his eyelids twitched twice!
I don’t know if I’m being too sensitive, after all, there are quite a few people with the surname Meng in Beijing!
However, the next moment, Meng Qing's middle-aged man glanced at Lu Zhiye without making a sound. Although he did it very discreetly, how could Lu Zhiye, who had experienced countless life and death situations, not notice?
He became wary and realized he needed to find out from Old Kong exactly when this person had arrived!
Could it be one of Meng Deyi's men?
Meng Qing was pinned to the ground, and just as everyone was questioning him, a woman rushed over: "Uncle Kong, Uncle Kong, let go of Brother Qing first, let him go first!"
The woman looked at everyone with teary eyes, her pleading gaze fixed on Old Kong!
Old Kong sighed heavily and slowly let go of her hand.
He was filled with remorse. If he had known Meng Qing was this kind of person, he would never have introduced his old friend's daughter to Meng Qing in the first place!
Now that their old friend has passed away, the only thing they can't let go of is this daughter. There are already few children in their neighborhood, and Liu Qian is someone they've watched grow up since she was little, about the same age as their own children!
The way he was pleading now filled Old Kong with a bitter feeling.
Liu Qian quickly helped Meng Qing up, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Uncle Kong, please forgive Qing-ge, he was just confused for a moment..."
Liu Qian's words made everyone's eyes widen!
Old Kong looked at the child in disbelief: "Qianqian, what do you mean by that?"
You've known about this for a long time, haven't you?
They couldn't believe that the child they had watched grow up would choose to hide it from them for a man!
But Lu Zhiye thought it was just human nature!
Outsiders, and even the people themselves, all thought that Lao Kong and his group were loyal and righteous!
But what if you put yourself in Liu Qian's shoes? She has no parents to rely on, only her husband and children.
Compared to her future husband, who would accompany her for life, and her friendly neighbors with whom she had no blood relation, she preferred a different life.
The choice of who to center on is self-evident.
Old Kong's hands were trembling: "You know everything he did, don't you?"
Do you know who he is?
As Lao Kong spoke, he pointed to Lao Xu next to him!
"When you were 12 years old, you went to the garrison with your parents. The mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and you developed a high fever. No one could do anything. It was him, he dragged his broken body and rode a donkey to find medicine for you!"
I was freezing to death on the way back. Even considering this sentiment, you should have stopped it, right?
Old Kong's voice choked with emotion as he finished speaking.
I feel sorry for myself, and I feel sorry for everyone present!
It's even more unfair to Old Xu, who sits stiffly in his chair like a wooden board!
Liu Qian avoided eye contact, almost daring not to meet the gazes of the crowd!
Tears streamed down her face. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she couldn't utter a single word!
Meng Qing watched this scene with cold eyes. His usually hardened heart seemed to collapse as he looked at his wife, who was almost broken.
For the first time, he began to doubt his mission. Looking back on his life, it seemed as if he had been living for this mission all along!
They never cherished the people around them!
With his perfectly intact hand, he grasped the other arm and gently moved it, instantly restoring the dislocated arm to its original position. Watching this scene, Old Kong's gaze sharpened even more!
Meng Qing gently helped Liu Qian up, wiped away her tears, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "I was only doing this for my own future. Everyone looks out for themselves!"
Even now, he's still hiding it!
Liu Qian sobbed a few times, and the next moment, she knelt heavily on the ground: "Uncle Kong, Uncle Xu, we are sorry for what we did to you."
Starting today, we will be moving out and will never bother you again!
Please, Uncle Kong and Uncle Liu, give us this chance and don't pursue this matter any further..."
Meng Qing's eyes widened, clearly not expecting his wife to do such a thing.
Old Kong's fingers clenched so tightly they cracked, and he felt an unbearable heartache looking at Liu Qian, who was lying on the ground and wouldn't get up!
Finally, Old Xu spoke up: "Let's go. We're a bunch of old bones, there's nothing left for you to investigate. From now on, treat Qianqian well, for the sake of her bearing your children!"
Liu Qian gave birth to a son and a daughter. These two children brought some life to the lonely alley courtyard. Some people who had no children of their own planned to leave their houses to their two children after they passed away.
The unexpected event caught everyone off guard.
But at this moment, no one dared to stand up and speak.
Liu Qian was so upset she could hardly breathe. She could hear the disappointment in the two elderly people's voices. With great effort, she moved her knees and kowtowed three more times in the direction of the two elderly people!
Then, he grabbed Meng Qing and left without looking back!
The events that happened in this alley were like a fog, shrouding Lu Zhiye and leaving him unable to find his way in the fog!
Meng Deyi is dead, so who is Meng Qing acting under now? It's Meng Dehai...
It's still Meng Yiguo.........
