Chapter 504 You Are So Ungrateful
But Chu Jianghe looks up at this time and meets Li Yong’s gaze. Then, he seems to summon up a lot of courage as he says, “Are you here to take revenge? You are the brother of Brother Hu. So you are my brother as well. Although you won’t recognize me as your brother, I recognize you as my brother in my heart. If you are here to take revenge, you don’t have to do it by yourself.”
After finishing his words, Chu Jianghe fishes out a sharp dagger from his arms and wants to hurt himself.
“Chu.” Hu is anxious. He, who just swore to be Chu Jianghe’s brother, doesn’t want to see him die like that.
However, Li Yong wants to kill Chu Jianghe. Hu dares not to go against Li Yong’s will, feeling that he is in a dilemma.
Li Yong picks up a pignut. With a flick, he knocks the dagger out of Chu Jianghe’s hand. At this time, he has put away his killing intent as he says indifferently, “Even if you want to die, do it after I finish questioning you.”
“Brother Yong, feel free to question me! Before I die, I surely will tell you everything I know.” Judging from Chu Jianghe’s determined look, it seems that he is mentally prepared for the possibility that he has to die.
“Why did you push Xiao Xiaopan off the cliff back then?”
Chu Jianghe deliberates on it for a moment. Only then does he say with remorse and regret while recalling the past, “It happened ten years ago. I took up a mission from someone in the martial arts world to make a living. And it was the only thing I did in my life that was against my conscience. Before taking up this mission, I didn’t know they would ask me to kill a ten-year-old girl. I…”
He picks up his glass and drinks the wine up before continuing, “After I found the girl, I found that she had no parents and lived with her eldest uncle and aunt. They treated her badly and often beat her and scolded her. Despite living in such an environment, she was still very kind. I lied to her that my family member was sick and I needed some wild herbs for the treatment. She then helped me by going to the mountains to gather herbs. Besides giving me the herbs, she took me to the mountains to find herbs, telling me where I could gather more herbs and good herbs. I stayed there for ten days and couldn’t bear to kill her.”
Li Yong picks up a pignut with his chopsticks and says indifferently, “But, in the end, you still pushed her off the cliff.”
“Yes. I did so to make money so that my sick mother could be treated, my wife could buy beautiful clothes, and my children could go to study at the downtown school. I had to make money. If I completed this task, I could earn a large amount of money.”
Speaking of this, Chu Jianghe beats his breast and furrows his eyebrows, bursting out crying. Then he hurriedly wipes away the tears and continues, “After I spent over ten days in the village, feeling upset and hesitant, finally, I decided to kill her. I tricked her into going to the mountains with me. When we were passing by a cliff, I deliberately knocked her. And she fell off the cliff. Although I got the money, my mother died anyway, my wife ran away with another man, and my son was even worse, who was put in prison.”
Chu Jianghe bends over, picks up the dagger, and carefully wipes its surface. Then he sighs heavily, “Brother Yong, I hope you will fulfill my wish. Kindly don’t send me to the police station. I don’t have to bother the police. I’ll just kill myself.”
Li Yong asks again, “Who is it that asked you to kill Xiao Xiaopan?”
Chu Jianghe says without any hesitation, “It’s a businessman in Tonghai City. And his name is Xiao Ping.”
“Xiao Ping?” Li Yong is surprised again. He just came back from Tonghai City yesterday and finished dealing with Xiao Ping.
Chu Jianghe honestly tells Li Yong the information he got from the hearsay, “Yes. It is said that Xiao Ping’s ancestors came from that village in the mountains as well. And they shared the same ancestor as Xiao Xiaopan’s family. It is unknown why he had to kill a ten-year-old girl.” He thinks about it and stops talking, thinking that he has told Li Yong everything he knows and he can’t tell him anything more.
He looks at Li Yong timidly, waiting for Li Yong’s final verdict.
Li Yong silently ponders on it for a moment. Then he suddenly stands up and looks at Chu Jianghe formidably into his eyes.
Chu Jianghe looks sadly at the sharp dagger in his hand and sighs heavily once again, “This dagger has been by my side for more than twenty years. I know that I will eventually end my life using this dagger of mine. Brother Hu, after my death, just dig a hole and bury my body there casually. Don’t send it to the crematorium. I’m afraid of fire.”
Li Yong finally makes a decision, “I will currently spare you.”
Chu Jianghe has an overjoyed look on his face as he hurriedly asks, “Why don’t you kill me? Aren’t you here to take revenge on me?”
Li Yong says, “I will let Xiao Xiaopan decide whether to kill you or not!”
“Xiao Xiaopan? Is that girl alive? Goodness! That’s great.” With a cheer, Chu Jianghe throws the dagger aside, picks up a bottle of wine, and directly starts drinking while holding the bottle of wine. Then he drinks up all the wine in one go.
By the time he puts down the empty bottle, Li Yong has already gone. Then he knows that it is true that he won’t die for the time being. And at the thought that he can live on, he suddenly sobs and bursts out crying. Everyone is afraid of death. He is no exception.
Although he made a gesture of intending to commit suicide, in fact, he still longs that he can live on.
Wiping away his tears, he asks, “Brother Hu, what is the relationship between Xiao Xiaopan and Brother Yong?”
Hu pats Chu Jianghe and laughs, “I heard that some time ago, someone coming from a village in the mountains sent Brother Yong a silly woman named Xiao Xiaopan. Xiao Xiaopan insisted on marrying Brother Yong, saying that she is willing to be his wife. But Brother Yong already has a wife. As for how the situation is going on later, I have no idea about it.”
“Oh!” Chu Jianghe responds lightly as he secretly prays in his heart, hoping that Li Yong and Xiao Xiaopan won’t be so close to each other.
Li Yong calls Xiao Xiaopan somewhere that nobody else is around.
“Honey.” Xiao Xiaopan’s joyful voice immediately comes into Li Yong’s ears, “What do you call me for?”
Originally, Li Yong wanted to tell Xiao Xiaopan about what had happened here, intending to ask her if she wanted to kill Chu Jianghe or not. As long as Xiao Xiaopan agrees, Li Yong will kill Chu Jianghe without hesitation. Fearing that further trouble will be thus caused, he doesn’t want to turn to the police for help.
However, sensing that Xiao Xiaopan feels so happy now, Li Yong simply can’t bear to say such things in case her good mood will be ruined. So he hesitates for a moment before saying, “I miss you.”
Xiao Xiaopan is so excited that she hurriedly responds, “Honey, I miss you too.”
Li Yong asks with concern, “Are you busy with your work?”
Xiao Xiaopan laughs, “Not at all. Being a Vice Chief is much easier than being a doctor.”
In the past, Xiao Xiaopan, who checked on the patients with Rushen and Ruyin, was occupied from morning to night, feeling overwhelmingly exhausted. Now, as the Vice Chief, she sits in the office all day, enjoying the coolness of the air conditioner. As for the things which she needs to take care of, they are countable.
“That’s good. I will be fine with it as long as my beloved wife won’t be worn out. Hahaha. Have you eaten lunch yet?”
“Yeah.” After Xiao Xiaopan responds, she asks, “Honey, where are you? Can you come over to see me?”
“Well, I’ll go to see you at night.” As Li Yong is talking on the phone, he hears Han Dongtao calling him for a meal. So he informs Xiao Xiaopan that he will see her tonight. After that, he hangs up the call hurriedly and walks towards his father-in-law with a smile on his face.
Since Li Yong is here today, Han Dongtao and Sun Xiaomei prepare higher-grade food, cook a lot of delicious food, and entertain Li Yong pretty enthusiastically. After sitting at the dining table, Han Dongtao takes out the bottle of fine wine and says lovingly, “Yong, let’s drink up this bottle of wine today. It will be divided evenly between the two of us. Neither of us should drink more nor drink less! Split it equally.”
Sun Xiaomei immediately objects, “Never should you drink wine! Yong has to drive.” As soon as she sees Han Dongtao’s intoxicated and obsessed look while holding the fine wine in his hands, she gets angry. After spending most of her life with Han Dongtao, she finds that he has never shown this kind of expression while facing her. And she always feels that she isn’t as good as a bottle of wine in Han Dongtao’s heart.
“Go. Go to prepare a few more dishes. Yong and I have to drink today.” Han Dongtao insists, “With this kind of fine wine in my hand, if I don’t finish it with Yong when he is here, who else can I finish it with? Yong brought it to me.”
Seeing that the two of them are about to quarrel, Wei Fangxia hurriedly advises, “Auntie Sun, it’s okay. I’ll drive on the way back, which won’t make any difference at all. I won’t drink.”
Li Yong also laughs, “Yes, Mom, it’s okay for me to drink less.”
Sun Xiaomei has no choice but to compromise. If it weren’t for the presence of Li Yong and Wei Fangxia, she surely would be persistent and battle it out with Han Dongtao. A few days ago, Han Dongtao just swore to her with a determination that he would never drink again. Even so, he has gone back on his words multiple times.
It has only been a few days since Han Dongtao swore that he would never drink. Upon seeing the wine now, Han Dongtao acts like he was reuniting with his long lost family members.
Thinking that the cup is small, Han Dongtao pours the wine in the bowl instead. After he pours the wine into two large bowls, it happens that the wine is bottomed up.
“What do you think of my technique of pouring wine, Yong? I finished bottoming up all the fine wine with exactly two bowls. No more. No less.” Han Dongtao smiles proudly while smelling the fragrance of wine. Then he holds the bottle and tries to shake all the wine inside out. It is not until there isn’t a drop of wine left that he licks the opening of the bottle and puts the empty bottle to the side.
Sure enough, expensive wine is so intoxicating! After half a bottle of wine, Han Dongtao is drunk. And Li Yong is also a little dizzy.
Han Dongtao falls fast asleep after lunch. Sun Xiaomei excitedly pulls Wei Fangxia’s hands and begins chatting with her randomly. Faced with Wei Fangxia, the young and beautiful Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, Sun Xiaomei thinks extremely highly of her. Moreover, she is trying to ingratiate her. Pulling Wei Fangxia’s hands haphazardly, she talks incessantly and asks whether Wei Fangxia got married or not and whether she has a boyfriend, intending to be a matchmaker for Wei Fangxia.
Wei Fangxia keeps smiling until her face becomes stiff. She wishes that she could find an excuse to go out for some air.
But it is noon now. And the sun is so blazing outside that people can barely open their eyes. Sure enough, it is cooler staying inside.
Seeing that she can go nowhere, Wei Fangxia can only patiently bear with Sun Xiaomei.
Seeing that nobody is paying attention to him, Li Yong sneaks out again. Standing in the shade of a tree, he turns on his clairvoyant vision and searches for Huang Anhe.
In the end, after searching the entire medicinal materials base with his clairvoyant vision, he doesn’t see Huang Anhe at all.
Finally, he has to take out his cell phone. Then he finds Huang Anhe’s phone number among his phonebook and calls her.
As soon as the call is picked up, Li Yong asks with a smile, “Ms. Huang, where are you?”
Hearing Li Yong’s voice, Huang Anhe is surprised for a moment and asks happily, “Why are you asking me so?”
Li Yong says seriously, “I am here to have fun with you.”
“Having fun with me? You are so ungrateful! How come you now remember to have fun with me?” Li Yong hasn’t come to Huang Anhe’s side once over the last two months, making her think that Li Yong has forgotten her. She, who often feels lonely late at night, intends to call Li Yong many times, only to dare not to dial his number at all.
