Chapter 50 The Gunshot Rings Out: Let the Hatred End Here
As soon as Ying Yuhua entered the interrogation room, she rushed towards Chen Mu.
Ying Songmao grabbed her and, with a stern face, pressed her into a chair, placing her between himself and Chen Mu at a wooden table.
Ying Yuhua tried her best to get closer to Chen Mu, almost lying on the table with her eyes glued to him, tears streaming down her face, her hands moving rapidly.
Even without knowing sign language, Jiang Ling could roughly guess what the girl was saying.
—Chen Mu, how did you get so thin?
—Didn't you say you went to a drug rehabilitation center? How did the police bring you here?
"What do you want to tell me?" Don't worry! No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you.
Jiang Ling looked at Ying Songmao with pity in her eyes.
Having a younger sister like that must be so infuriating.
It would be better if he couldn't understand sign language, but Ying Songmao could. His face darkened, and his eyes practically spit fire. He tugged at his sister again, making her sit back in her chair and not lean forward against the table; her impatient manner was really unsightly.
Ying Yuhua rattled off a long string of words, but received no response.
Gradually, she realized something was wrong, stopped her gestures, and looked at Chen Mu cautiously.
Chen Mu looked at Ying Songmao: "Officer Ying, I called your sister over because I wanted to talk to her. What I'm about to say comes from the bottom of my heart, and I ask you to be my witness."
Ying Yuhua gestured with her hands in the air, pointing to Chen Mu's mouth and then to her own ears, making rough "ah, ah" sounds.
Li Zhenliang leaned close to Jiang Ling's ear and whispered, "Ying Yuhua is truly beyond saving."
It was obvious that Chen Mu had called Ying Yuhua over to sever all ties, but she thought he was going to talk about love with her, so she was afraid of missing any information.
Jiang Ling shook her head, feeling sorry for Ying Songmao.
But it's okay, Ying Yuhua's love-struck mind should clear up after today.
Ying Songmao knew that Ying Yuhua wanted to know what Chen Mu had said to her, but he ignored his sister, looked at Chen Mu, and said in a deep voice, "Okay."
Ying Songmao saw no tender love in Chen Mu's eyes, only indifference and coldness.
He had already guessed what Chen Mu would say today.
Only Yu Hua is still deceiving herself.
Ying Yuhua looked at her brother, then at Chen Mu, as if she had something on her mind.
She gradually calmed down, sat in the chair, and stared intently at Chen Mu's every move.
Chen Mu began to communicate with Ying Yuhua using sign language.
To ensure the police could record the details, he used sign language while speaking aloud.
Chen Mu's expression was very calm: "Yu Hua, you always said that I had something on my mind. Today I want to tell you what that thing is."
Ying Yuhua shook her head desperately.
She doesn't want to know, she absolutely doesn't want to know right now!
She used to feel sorry for Chen Mu, always thinking he was unhappy. Even in his happiest moments, there was always a hint of melancholy in his eyes. She had asked him about it, but he never answered.
Now that he's willing to say something, Ying Yuhua's intuition tells her that this isn't a good thing, so she tries to stop him.
However, her efforts to stop her were in vain.
Chen Mu's voice continued.
“When I was eight years old, I went swimming with my best friend Zhang Yuansheng. He drowned while trying to save me, but I cowardly kept quiet because I was too afraid of dying. When I climbed ashore, I kicked him into the water and drowned him.”
"This matter weighs heavily on my heart, keeping me awake at night. Whenever I close my eyes, I can see Yuansheng smiling at me. Yuansheng is a very, very good person. Even in death, he never blamed me. He never cursed me in my dreams. He just smiled and told me that we were the best of friends."
“But the less he blamed me, the more upset I became. Because of me, his father died of anger that very night, and a year later, his mother died of illness. His brother, Zhang Yuanqiang, also left the chemical plant and went to a strange city with his aunt. Their family fell apart, while I was always loved and cared for by my parents as I grew up.”
"I don't deserve happiness." Chen Mu's face was expressionless, but his words were filled with deep sorrow.
Pain, like thick asphalt, clings stubbornly to the concrete road of "life".
Ying Yuhua reacted violently, making "ah, ah" sounds repeatedly, her hands flying in the air.
—No, it's not your fault.
—You are a very good person, really good.
A mocking smile appeared on Chen Mu's face.
"You are just like my parents, a selfish person."
"You only have eyes for me, loving me in your own self-righteous way, but you have no idea what I really want."
Chen Mu's voice suddenly rose, filled with sobs and anger, like magma that had been accumulating for thousands of years finally erupting.
“I want to kneel down in front of Yuansheng’s parents and tell them that Yuansheng saved me and that I killed him.”
"I wish they would hit me, yell at me, I wish everyone would throw stones at me!"
“I hope they live on, offer incense to Yuansheng every year, and be proud of him. I hope they can give me a chance to atone for my sins.”
Chen Mu cried out in anguish, "But... there's no chance anymore. His parents are dead, his brother is gone, and I'm the only one left, barely surviving like a rat."
Ying Yuhua didn't know how to comfort him; she was at a loss.
Chen Mu finally shouted out what was on his mind, his gloom lessening slightly. He raised his hand to wipe his face and looked at Ying Yuhua seriously: "I'm leaving. Don't look for me again."
Ying Yuhua cried: Take me away, take me away!
Chen Mu's voice was icy: "Yu Hua, I don't love you."
Ying Yuhua froze as if she had been struck on an acupoint, staring at Chen Mu in disbelief.
Chen Mu spoke in a calm, monotonous tone, uttering extremely cruel words: "Yes, I don't love you. You are just like my parents, selfish and heartless, only caring about your own happiness and completely disregarding the lives of others. How could I possibly fall in love with you? The reason I approached you is because your brother is a policeman, and Yuan Sheng's brother asked me to get information about the police from you."
Ying Yuhua completely broke down.
She loved him so much, yet he called her selfish and heartless?
She regarded him as her heaven, yet he scolded her for not caring about the lives of others!
She thought it was okay to leave her parents and brother, because at least there was Chen Mu who loved her wholeheartedly. Little did she know that everything was a deliberate arrangement and that he didn't love her at all!
Chen Mu turned to Ying Songmao: "Officer Ying, I'm sorry, I deceived Yu Hua's feelings. You can hit me or scold me as you please, but I will not continue with her. After I've dealt with everything, I will leave Yan City and work as a lifeguard at the beach. I hope... I can slowly atone for my sins."
Jiang Ling was the one who told Chen Mu about becoming a lifeguard.
In coastal cities, people drown every year, so lifeguards are usually stationed on the beaches to watch out for sea conditions and provide rescues at any time.
Since Chen Mu is filled with guilt, he should do something beneficial for society. He should channel his excess energy into something worthwhile, preventing him from using or trafficking drugs and harming himself and others.
Hearing Jiang Ling's words, Chen Mu felt as if the darkness before him had been pierced by something, and finally a sliver of light peeked in.
Yes, being a lifeguard means patrolling the beach every day, like Zhang Yuansheng, rushing to the scene without hesitation when you hear cries for help, and bringing people ashore.
As he saves more and more people, perhaps he will see Yuansheng in his dreams, and Yuansheng will hug him and say: I forgive you.
If that day ever comes, Chen Mu will have truly achieved self-redemption and been freed from the shackles of his heart.
Ying Songmao looked at the thin, pale man in front of him.
He hated Chen Mu.
It's exhausting for both yourself and others; it's willful and irresponsible.
But now, hearing him break up with Ying Yuhua so cleanly and decisively, and say that he was going to work as a lifeguard at the beach, Ying Songmao sighed: "Okay."
Everyone has their own destiny.
All Ying Songmao can do is respect their choices.
Ying Yuhua felt as if her heart was bleeding.
Every day she spent dating Chen Mu felt like a beautiful dream.
Didn't he say he loved her and wanted to take her to see the most beautiful scenery in the world?
Didn't he say he would send her the most beautiful flowers in the world?
How could you suddenly stop loving me?
Shouldn't love be unwavering, facing any difficulties together, and forging ahead despite any obstacles?
The love stories she saw on television and in books created a fantasy world for Ying Yuhua.
At this moment, the illusion shattered.
It turns out that love is not just about sweet nothings.
There is also responsibility, commitment, daily necessities, and... ideals and pain.
Ying Yuhua felt a little dizzy.
Prolonged insomnia had left her mentally scattered, and today Chen Mu's coldness and her brother's toughness completely shattered Ying Yuhua's self-perception.
She fainted spectacularly.
She fainted in Ying Songmao's arms.
Ying Songmao picked up his younger sister, stood up, and said to Jiang Ling, "Let's go back."
Jiang Ling nodded: "Give her some time."
Even the deepest wounds will heal slowly with the passage of time. I just hope that Yu Hua can mature a bit and not be a burden to Ying Songmao.
After Ying Songmao and his sister left, Chen Mu's gaze shifted to Jiang Ling.
This time, his gaze was no longer cold; it had a hint of warmth: "What should I do next?"
Jiang Ling said, "Explain your relationship with Zhang Yuanqiang in detail. Don't think that being his underling is an act of atonement; you're only causing him to slide deeper into the abyss. Cooperating with the police to destroy the underground drug trafficking market in Yan City will not only save others, but also save Zhang Yuanqiang, and even more so, save yourself."
Chen Mu struggled for a long time.
After a long silence, he slowly nodded: "Okay."
If Zhang Yuansheng were alive, a brave, upright, and optimistic person like him would certainly not want to see his brother become a major drug lord.
Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
She interrogated two people in a row today, and she was under a lot of mental and emotional strain. She's really tired.
Fortunately, everything is under control.
If Chen Mu speaks up, the April 26 drug case could take a turn for the better.
Zhang Yuanqiang thought he had Chen Mu under control, so he didn't hide many things from him.
Chen Mu knew everything about the sources of drugs, transportation routes, and drug trafficking networks.
Fortunately, it was May 1994, and many things had not yet happened.
Chen Zhigang has not yet assembled a team in the chemical plant laboratory to purify drugs;
Zhang Yuanqiang has not yet fully established a drug trafficking network in Yanshi, nor has he used Yanshi as a base to distribute drugs throughout the province.
Launching anti-drug operations now will be twice as effective with half the effort.
Jiang Ling called Lei Xiao and Jiang Chenzhou in.
The next steps will be handled by the First and Second Battalions, and Jiang Ling can take a break for now.
Before leaving the Municipal Bureau, Jiang Ling made a point of glancing into the First Brigade's office.
Her gaze lingered for a moment on Su Xinwan, who was engrossed in writing the case report.
Li Zhenliang asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Ling's gaze made Li Zhenliang somewhat wary. Could it be that another case has occurred?
Jiang Ling shook her head: "It's nothing."
She felt that Su Xinwan looked familiar, but no criminal files came to mind, which meant that Su Xinwan was neither a criminal she had encountered in her previous life nor a victim recorded in the files.
So where exactly did you see Su Xinwan?
Jiang Ling shook her head, dismissing the question.
The most urgent task now is to expedite the progress of the April 26 drug case and bring Zhang Yuanqiang to justice. As for Su Xinwan, let's put her aside for now.
Lei Xiao and Jiang Chenzhou are experienced in criminal investigation and handle major cases with swift and decisive action.
After obtaining Chen Mu's confession, the two convened their team overnight to formulate a detailed battle plan.
The meeting was held behind closed doors and was kept strictly confidential.
With a serious expression, Lei Xiao said loudly, "Our objective is to completely destroy the drug trafficking gang headed by Zhang Yuanqiang, sever its drug supply and transportation network, arrest all those involved, and ensure social stability."
Jiang Chenzhou's smile faded, and his voice became steady and powerful: "Participants include: all members of the First and Second Detachments of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, technical personnel from the Technical Brigade, and support forces from the Special Police Team. Everyone, follow orders!"
Everyone responded loudly: "Yes!"
Lei Xiao began assigning tasks.
"The first team will immediately seal off the drug trafficking gang's hideout after the operation begins, set up a cordon, and prohibit unauthorized personnel from approaching to ensure that the operation is not interfered with."
The leader of the first group immediately stood up: "Yes, sir!"
"The second team will arrest the gang members. The focus will be on arresting the gang leader, core members, and key figures responsible for transportation and trafficking, ensuring that everyone is brought to justice."
The second group leader immediately stood up: "Yes, sir!"
Jiang Chenzhou added: "During the arrest, the special police team was responsible for perimeter security and handling emergencies to ensure the smooth progress of the operation."
The SWAT team leader stood up: "Yes, sir!"
Lei Xiao turned his gaze to the captain of the technical team: "The technicians quickly conducted an on-site investigation and collected relevant evidence such as drugs, drug-making tools, and transaction records."
The technical team leader stood up: "Yes, sir!"
After everything was arranged in an orderly manner, Director Zhong made his final remarks: "This mission involves a large number of people and requires speed, timeliness, and comprehensiveness. Therefore, we must pay attention to the following matters."
"First, before the operation, be sure to double-check the accuracy of the intelligence to ensure the operation is targeted. Second, pay attention to safety during the arrest, use police equipment appropriately, and avoid unnecessary casualties. Third, throughout the entire operation, all teams must maintain close communication and obey unified command. Do you understand?"
Everyone stood up, chests puffed out, and shouted in response, "Yes!"
With a major battle imminent, the participating criminal police officers dared not slacken their efforts in the slightest and launched a full-scale attack.
Night falls, and the city lights come on.
The Phantom Disco is at its most bustling and vibrant time of day.
At this moment, Zhang Yuanqiang was not stationed at the Phantom, but instead sat down by the wild pond outside the chemical plant.
In early May, the temperature gradually rises.
A cool night breeze blew by.
The fresh scent of grass and trees mingled with the earthy aroma wafted over. Zhang Yuanqiang sat with his knees drawn up on a patch of grass by the pond, staring blankly at the water.
This pond claimed my brother's life.
It was this pond that destroyed what was once a happy family.
He came here today because he received a message from Chen Mu.
Perhaps it's time to open up and have a talk.
For over a year, Zhang Yuanqiang had been playing the role of a kind and understanding older brother to Chen Mu, and he was truly exhausted from it.
Several mosquitoes buzzed around his ears, and Zhang Yuanqiang stretched out his hands to swat them away.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
There was a small patch of blood on Zhang Yuanqiang's palm; a mosquito that had sucked his blood had been swatted dead.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
A crisp slapping sound came from the shadows, along with Chen Mu's voice: "Brother Qiang?"
Zhang Yuanqiang picked up a flashlight from beside him, turned it on, and shone it in the direction from which the sound came from.
Two figures appeared in the beam of the flashlight.
Zhang Yuanqiang stood up alertly, his other hand reaching for his lower back.
Chen Mu raised his hands: "Brother Qiang, it's me, and my dad too."
Zhang Yuanqiang then relaxed and shone his flashlight.
Chen Mu pulled his father over.
Chen Zhigang's palms were sweaty, and his heart was pounding like a drum.
Jiang Ling had warned him that Zhang Yuanqiang had a gun, and Chen Zhigang was terrified. But he dared not disobey; he had to perform meritorious service to atone for his sins.
Zhang Yuanqiang watched the father and son approaching and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
It seems Chen Mu has come to his senses and intends to introduce his father to him to lend him a hand. The drugs he can get now aren't pure enough; experts don't even consider them good enough. Once the purity issue is resolved, Zhang Yuanqiang is confident he can take over the entire drug market in Yan City.
The three finally made contact.
Zhang Yuanqiang glanced at Chen Zhigang and said indifferently, "Has your father come to his senses?"
Chen Zhigang swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly: "I've thought it through."
Zhang Yuanqiang looked at Chen Zhigang with amusement. The night was dark and the moon had not yet risen, so Zhang Yuanqiang could not see the expression on Chen Zhigang's face, but he could tell from his voice that he was very nervous.
Why are you so nervous?
"No, I'm not nervous."
"Why are you shaking if you're not nervous?"
"It's cold."
Zhang Yuanqiang laughed: "It's May, and the mosquitoes are already out. What's so cold about that?"
He suddenly stopped smiling and stared into Chen Zhigang's eyes: "You must have done something wrong and feel guilty, right?"
Chen Zhigang suddenly collapsed to the ground, scrambling and crawling to Zhang Yuanqiang's feet, crying as he said, "Yuanqiang, it's my fault! I'll kowtow to you and apologize. Please let Xiaomu go."
"You think you're worthy to be my uncle?" Zhang Yuanqiang's face showed anger. He narrowed his eyes and kicked Chen Zhigang to the ground.
Hearing Chen Zhigang groan in pain, Chen Mu quickly bent down to help him up. But Zhang Yuanqiang kicked him as well.
Chen Mu felt a sharp pain in his left rib and fell sideways onto the grass.
Zhang Yuanqiang sneered, "What? Are you two putting on a show here? I don't care to hear about your old, stale stories!"
Chen Mu took a deep breath and half-crouched on the ground as he spoke: "Brother Qiang, my dad has been suffering all these years. I know it's our family's fault. Yuan Sheng lost his life to save me, and instead of being grateful, our family kept the truth a secret, causing your parents..."
In the past, Chen Mu would have kept these words to himself and never said them.
But now, Chen Mu has aspirations for the future, and he wants to say all the things that have been bottled up inside him.
Enraged, Zhang Yuanqiang jumped up and kicked Chen Mu hard, cursing as he did so: "What the hell did you say? Did I tell you to say it? Don't mention Yuansheng, don't mention my parents, you're not worthy!"
Despite the pain, Chen Mu grabbed Zhang Yuanqiang's leg and pleaded, "Brother Qiang! Please let me talk about it. This is suffocating me. Please, let me tell you."
Chen Zhigang was stunned by the scene, looking up at the two entangled people, unable to utter a single word.
Zhang Yuanqiang suddenly pulled out a pistol, bent down and pressed it against Chen Mu's temple, and sneered: "You want to talk? Who told you to? Since you shut your mouth and didn't say a word seventeen years ago, then don't say it for the rest of your life! Take it to your coffin!"
Having spent many years venturing out into the world, Zhang Yuanqiang has a deep understanding of human nature.
He wanted to take advantage of Chen Mu's guilt and keep this poor wretch firmly under his control.
If Chen Mu is allowed to vent his inner guilt, he will break free from his control.
Chen Mu, however, acted as if he had gone mad, ignoring the presence of the gun barrel in front of him: "That summer..."
Zhang Yuanqiang pushed the gun forward a little, his voice escaping through clenched teeth: "Shut up! You fucking shut up!"
Upon seeing the pistol, Chen Zhigang suddenly came to his senses. He rushed over, grabbed Zhang Yuanqiang's arm, and pleaded, "Please! Please spare my son, don't shoot. I'll do whatever you ask."
Zhang Yuanqiang's expression softened slightly, and he glanced at him sideways: "You do whatever I tell you to do?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Zhigang nodded frantically.
Zhang Yuanqiang removed the gun from Chen Mu's temple, leisurely sat back down on the grass, twirled the gun handle with one hand, and looked at Chen Zhigang with a playful expression: "What can you do for me?"
Chen Zhigang repeated what Jiang Ling had told him: "I'll work for you. I understand the technology and know how to purify it. I've seen the goods Chen Mu brought back; they're no good, too many impurities."
Zhang Yuanqiang became interested and holstered the gun at his waist: "You have purification technology?"
Chen Zhigang: "No problem, that's what I studied. I'm in charge of the factory's technical department now, and I can use all the equipment in the lab. As long as you're willing to pay, I can bring a few people over to help."
Zhang Yuanqiang was thrilled to hear this.
Sure enough, if you can get Chen Mu under control, you can catch Chen Zhigang, the big fish.
Seeing that Zhang Yuanqiang's emotions had stabilized, Chen Zhigang was also relieved.
As planned, after Chen Zhigang and Zhang Yuanqiang discussed their plans to build a laboratory, the Chen family could retreat. The special police team lying in ambush by the pond quickly moved out and arrested Zhang Yuanqiang.
Suddenly, Chen Mu, who was lying on the ground, said something.
This suddenly shattered the peaceful and harmonious relationship between Chen Zhigang and Zhang Yuanqiang.
"Brother Qiang, stop now."
One sentence, however, made Zhang Yuanqiang wary.
He slowly stood up, pulled a gun from his back waist, pointed it at Chen Mu, and asked, "What do you mean?"
They even brought their father along, weren't they planning to join in? Why are they suddenly telling me to stop?
wrong!
That's not right!
The special police officers who had been listening in with eavesdropping devices also frowned.
They completely deviated from the script.
What is Chen Mu trying to do?
The SWAT officer made a hand gesture behind him.
Everyone crouched low to avoid being seen.
The chirping of insects stopped completely in that instant.
Utter silence.
It seemed like you could hear my heartbeat.
Fearing his son might utter something shocking, Chen Zhigang forced a smile and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He talks about quitting drugs all day long, but when has he ever succeeded? I, his father, have been dragged down by him. How dare he ask you to stop? I've figured it out too. Why is it that those bastards at the chemical plant almost ruined a perfectly good factory, while the employees were laid off and the leaders are living the high life? If I follow you, I can also make a lot of money and live in a big house, right?"
These were Chen Zhigang's heartfelt words.
The once-glorious Yanshi Chemical Plant is now experiencing declining profits and employee layoffs. While there are certainly social reasons behind this, it is also related to the incompetent leadership who are occupying positions without fulfilling their duties.
When Chen Zhigang saw those leaders, all fat and bloated, driving imported cars and eating delicacies while the factory workers couldn't even be paid, and traveling all over the country under the guise of "studying," a deep resentment would well up in his heart.
Chen Zhigang is not yet laid off, but who can say for sure what the future holds?
If it weren't for Jiang Ling's intervention, Chen Zhigang would have ended up like in his previous life, harboring hatred for the factory leaders and dreaming of making a lot of money, dragged down by Zhang Yuanqiang, and ultimately meeting a tragic end.
However, Zhang Yuanqiang was not fooled by Chen Zhigang.
Drug dealers value their lives and trust their instincts.
Sensing danger, he was too lazy to listen to Chen Zhigang's nonsense any longer. He bent down, dragged Chen Mu to a willow tree, and after concealing himself, he spoke: "Speak! What do you want to do?"
Chen Mu coughed twice.
He had just been kicked twice in the chest by Zhang Yuanqiang, and his chest felt tight. When he coughed, there was a bloody taste in his throat, so he probably had seen blood.
Chen Mu suppressed the urge to vomit and said breathlessly, "Brother Qiang, drugs are no good. You should stop."
Zhang Yuanqiang pulled out his gun and scrutinized Chen Mu's face: "What do you know?"
Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "I'm using drugs, and my health is getting worse and worse. I get out of breath after walking just a few steps. I guess... I don't have much time left. Brother, I'm begging you, please stop. Give it a rest."
Zhang Yuanqiang pointed a gun at Chen Mu: "You think you can just stop like that? What about my territory? What about the brothers down there? What about all those familiar faces up there?"
A glint flashed in Chen Mu's eyes: "Brother Qiang, I'm sorry about Yuan Sheng. You can do whatever you want with me. But there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time. If Yuan Sheng were still alive, and if Teacher Zhang and Teacher Qiao were still alive, they certainly wouldn't want you to go down this path..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhang Yuanqiang slapped him across the face: "Shut the fuck up!"
Chen Mu's words successfully enraged Zhang Yuanqiang. His face contorted with rage, he viciously picked up the butt of his gun and smashed it against Chen Mu's face: "Don't think that just because I smiled at you before, you're a true brother. You're nothing but a dog I kept! If it weren't for you, my brother wouldn't have died, my parents would still be alive, and I wouldn't have been sent to Yuezhou to be bullied. The suffering I've endured is something your worthless life can't possibly compensate for!"
Chen Mu suddenly laughed: "Brother Qiang, why don't you give it a try? Maybe my worthless life is worth it?"
Without saying a word, Zhang Yuanqiang pulled the safety and chambered a bullet.
"Click!"
The crisp sound was exceptionally clear in the still night.
Chen Zhigang lunged forward and grabbed Zhang Yuanqiang's arm tightly: "Yuanqiang, Mr. Zhang! Mr. Zhang, please be magnanimous and let Xiao Mu go."
Zhang Yuanqiang shoved him aside and pointed his pistol directly at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu, however, was not afraid at all. He laughed heartily, but his smile was extremely bitter.
Chen Zhigang rushed forward again.
"Bang!"
A shot rang out.
"superior!"
The SWAT team took immediate action.
Under the cover of night, the scene was in chaos.
Once everything had settled down, the searchlights were turned on.
Zhang Yuanqiang was pinned to the ground by special police officers, his hands were tied behind his back, and he was lying face down on the ground.
"dad--"
Chen Mu held Chen Zhigang, who had been shot in the chest and was bleeding profusely, and desperately tried to stop the bleeding with his hands, but found that it was all in vain.
Chen Zhigang raised his hand with difficulty and stroked his son's cheek.
A slight smile played on his lips: "Son, you've always been a good boy." With that, his hand suddenly dropped, and the smile froze on his face.
Chen Zhigang wanted to say more, but he was too weak.
He felt his strength rapidly draining away.
My body felt chills.
He remembered that summer seventeen years ago.
That day was hotter than it is now.
If time could be reversed.
He would definitely say to his panicked son, "Don't be afraid, Dad's here. Dad will go with you to talk to Teacher Zhang and clear things up. Yuansheng is a good boy, we should thank him."
We should thank Zhang Yuansheng, otherwise Chen Mu would have been the one to die.
Now, he has given his life to Zhang Yuanqiang.
Let's put an end to this hatred.
