Chapter 109
Xing Yao looked Song Zhou up and down as if he was watching some big joke.
He laughed so hard he fell backwards. "I've known for a long time that Chen He's boyfriend's name is Song Zhou, but I never thought it would be you. Xiaosong, where did you get such a name?"
Before Song Zhou could answer, Xing Yao said, "No, it's more than just a name."
He jumped off the tire, stepped his half-boots into the gasoline, and carefully lifted his beige windbreaker to avoid getting it stained with oil when he half-knelt down:
"I've been following Chen He's trail and have seen you more than once, but I never recognized you!
"Not only her face, but her whole demeanor has changed! She's so fashionable and she even got a perm?"
He smiled, took off Song Zhou's baseball cap and threw it aside, then reached out to comb his curly hair.
"Get out!" Song Zhou said viciously.
Xing Yao, as if afraid of being bitten by Song Zhou, withdrew his hand, laughed for a long time before stopping, took a breath and said:
"This time, the police set up a big trap. The one who went back to your house in Qi'an turned out to be a fake Chen He. I almost fell for it. It was a close call, just a little bit."
He pinched his index finger and thumb together and measured.
He said in frustration, "What a hassle! Chen He's life should have ended five years ago. It's all because of that loser Yu Ai Ai. She left me with this problem!"
Song Zhou's eyes were bloodshot: "It was you...you asked Yu Aiai to push her!"
"That's right." Xing Yao said with emotion, "Who made your girlfriend so weird?
"Tell me, how did she find her way to the North Foothills Valley? Could it be that she's psychic, and Qiu Yue's ghost told her that I buried her alive there?"
After hearing the last sentence, Song Zhou felt as if he had been hit hard and could not make a sound for a long time.
Xing Yaoyouran sighed, "Fortunately, I thought it through carefully. To prevent anyone from discovering the burial site, I arranged for Yu Aiai to keep an eye on it.
"Yu Aiai saw Chen He passing by and called me to ask what to do.
"There's a road to heaven but she doesn't take it, there's no door to hell but she breaks in.
"What else can I do? Give her a ride. Isn't that right?"
Song Zhou's teeth were almost broken, he was panting like a bellows, and he didn't say a word.
Xing Yao was tired of squatting, so he stood up and strolled around in small steps, his leather boots making a soft popping sound as the gasoline pumped under his feet.
"She was lucky enough not to die from the fall, as two farmers saw her and called 120 to send her to the hospital.
"Yu Aiai came to ask me what to do again. It was so annoying. I told her to go to the hospital and see her off.
"It's a shame Yu Ai Ai is such a coward, so hesitant. She said she went to the hospital for no apparent reason and that people would suspect her. I said, isn't that simple?"
Xing Yao suddenly raised his foot and kicked a tire, "Then kicked her down the stairs..."
He spread his hands and said, "It's a broken bone. Now she has a reason to go to the hospital, right?"
He sighed contentedly, "Even though I treat her like this, she still likes me. She's such a jerk."
His expression turned gloomy again, "What a pity this loser never dared to take action!
"If we had gotten rid of Chen He back then, we wouldn't have had all these troubles later! What a useless woman, she's only capable of causing trouble instead of helping others!"
Song Zhou sneered.
Xing Yao frowned: "What are you laughing at?"
Song Zhou said mockingly, "You force others to do something you yourself dare not do. You are even more useless than Yu Aiai."
"You..." Xing Yao raised his fist, then restrainedly retracted it, his joints cracking. "In your current situation, what else can you do besides show off your skills with words?
"Let me tell you, I came to Lanzhou specifically to take Chen He's life.
“But the smell where she lived was wrong, so there must have been police lying in ambush, so she had no chance to kill him.
"I was just getting worried when I saw you wandering around here, Xiaosong. I couldn't believe my eyes. I followed you for a while before I was sure it was you."
He reached out and pulled out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from Song Zhou's jacket pocket, put them on Song Zhou's face, and said in amazement:
“Once I put on the glasses, I really became a different person.
"To be honest, when I saw you, you happened to be using Qiu Song's true appearance. If it was Song Zhou's appearance, I might not recognize you even if we were face to face."
He took off Song Zhou's glasses again.
The coldness in Song Zhou's eyes was no longer blocked by the lenses, like a sword being drawn out of its sheath, revealing its blade. His whole person became sharp.
"Yes, this is you."
Xing Yao's eyes, sunken in the darkness, resembled two pieces of smoldering coals. "Did our master who taught you disguises teach you this skill back in Jinda?"
Xing Yao recalled, "I remember he only taught me to use whatever materials were available and blend in with the crowd. For example, pretending to be a maintenance worker or a cleaner... that was the easiest way to avoid attracting attention."
"But why didn't he teach me the skill of becoming someone else entirely? Why does this person still treat me differently?"
Song Zhou pulled the corner of his mouth and actually laughed: "You have to draw inferences from one example to another when learning. You are not good at understanding, so you can't do it."
Xing Yao scoffed disdainfully, with a hint of sourness in his voice, "No wonder the factory director values you. I told him at the time that you're a dishonest kid, but he wouldn't listen. Sure enough, his cherished talent has been wasted."
Song Zhou frowned. "He's just a bandit leader who recruits thugs and thieves. What factory director? What talent-loving? Don't use such nonsense. It's disgusting!"
Xing Yao's face turned pale with anger, and she grabbed his curly hair: "Don't be ungrateful, you ungrateful thing!
"The factory manager wanted to train you, but you betrayed him without blinking an eye! The factory was raided, everyone was sentenced, and the factory manager hasn't been released yet!"
Song Zhou was surprised. He shook his head and tried to break free: "When did I betray him?"
Xing Yao snorted coldly: "It's already this late, and you're still pretending to be confused."
He tapped Song Zhou's cheek with his glasses, "Do you think I don't know? It was you who dragged those two people out of the burning car!"
Ten years ago, when Xing Yao shot a black car with a slingshot, causing it to overturn and catch fire, Song Zhou - who was still Qiu Song at the time - was indeed not far away.
That night he knocked his "master" unconscious and escaped from the Jinda Auto Repair Shop, but happened to see this scene.
He lay in a ditch, waiting for Xing Yao to escape from the crime scene, and then rushed over to rescue him.
After the two people in the car were dragged out, a passing vehicle stopped and more people gathered around to rescue them.
One of the injured was somewhat conscious and pointed at him and said, "Thanks to this kid..."
He was halfway through his escape, afraid to show off, fearing he would be caught by the factory director again. He quickly hid behind the crowd and ran away quietly.
…
Song Zhou curled up on the ground uncomfortably. He adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable against the oil drum and asked Xing Yao in front of him:
"Didn't you flee for fear of punishment? How did you see the people I saved?"
"I took a walk and went back," said Xing Yao.
"Do you still have a conscience and want to go back and save people?"
Xing Yao sneered sarcastically, "I'm not like you, with a useless heart of a bodhisattva.
"I went back to...watch those two people being burned alive. I thought it would be a great spectacle. Unfortunately, you ruined it."
Song Zhou looked at him with disgust: "Just because I delayed your viewing of the show, you're taking revenge on me?"
Xing Yao stood up, shaking his glasses and looking down at him. "That's secondary. The main thing is, you reported our factory and destroyed my family. I even became a wanted criminal."
"You may not know this, but I've recognized the factory director as my godfather. Jinda Auto Repair Shop is my home, and the factory director is like my family. Do you understand? You ruined everything!"
Song Zhou looked at him in surprise and suddenly laughed.
Xing Yao was furious and scowled, "What are you laughing at?"
"First of all, it's a bunch of monsters, bandits and hooligans, what a shitty family!" Song Zhou laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe. "Then there's the factory director... a bandit leader, and you recognize him as your father? Are you fucking in need of a father?"
