Lin Chuyao's worries are also my worries.
No matter what Jiang Suisui did to Lin Chuyao's store, I'm not very worried about it. Anyway, it was settled with just one phone call. At best, Lin Chuyao's parents' attitude towards me would be even worse.
I don’t care about this anymore, it’s always been bad anyway, and I don’t expect it to change.
However, if Jiang Suisui did something to Lin Chuyao, such as beating Lin Chuyao again, or disfiguring her, or even finding someone to defile her and rape her, I would be intolerable and unable to change the result.
Therefore, this kind of thing must not happen.
I asked Lin Chuyao: "Where do you work? Is it far from your home?"
She said: "It's not very far. There is an advertising company in the Plaza Commercial Building that is recruiting people. I will go there to do advertising creative work."
The square is indeed not very far from Lin Chuyao's villa area, only two or three kilometers, and this road is a relatively prosperous area. Even if it is very late, there will be street lights on the road, so there is no need to worry about safety issues. .
But if Jiang Suisui is really determined to mess with Lin Chuyao, even if Lin Chuyao is only 200 meters away from home, she will definitely cause trouble in the middle of the 200 meters away.
So I quickly asked her: "What time do you go to work and get off work every day?"
She said: "It's eight-thirty in the morning and I get off work at six in the afternoon."
After thinking for a while, I said: "Well, let's do it. Can I pick you up and drop you off every day when you go to and from get off work? I also ride a small electric car and go with you. It happens to be 8:30 in the morning and 6:00 in the afternoon. day off."
"Ah? You want to take me to and from get off work? This..." Lin Chuyao hesitated.
I could feel from her hesitant tone that she didn't seem to want this.
"No?" I asked.
"I...I don't think this is good. You work the night shift at night, and then you have to pick me up and drop me off in the morning and evening. How troublesome it is for you."
"It's not troublesome at all. Usually around eight o'clock in the morning, I happen to have breakfast. I'll drop you off at the square and then have breakfast before going back. It's the same in the afternoon. I'll come back to work after seeing you off. It won't take long. , and I don’t send it to you every day, I just send it to you these days because Jiang Suisui might find trouble with you, and I won’t send it to you after I’m sure everything is fine.”
"Then...the question is what if my parents find out. They don't let me get too close to you. Although I don't want to listen to them, they always quarrel when I come back. I'm also upset, and... …”
At this point, she paused again.
"And what? Just say whatever you want."
After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Lin Chuyao still said hesitantly: "No...it's nothing."
"Why, why don't you tell me?" I asked with a smile.
"No, it's really nothing."
The more she acted like this, the more I understood that she must have something to say in her heart, but she was just too embarrassed to say it, and I also made a guess in my mind.
She probably thinks that with our current relationship, it's not good for me to pick her up and drop her off every day, as if we are a couple. Her new colleagues will definitely misunderstand me.
What can I say, although I have long understood that my relationship with Lin Chuyao is different from four years ago, but now I think that Lin Chuyao may deliberately keep the distance between me, I still feel a little disappointed.
I originally thought that if it didn't work out, I would just hire someone and let someone else protect her every day, but when I thought about it, I decided not to do it anymore. I'm afraid she would disagree even more with hiring someone.
So I could only say: "How about this? In order to prevent your parents from knowing, I won't ride with you. There is a gap of ten or twenty meters between the two of us. I will follow you all the time, okay?"
"Oh... no, let's just walk together so we can still chat. If you're ten or twenty meters away from me, that doesn't matter. Let's just do what you say and give it a try for a few days."
"OK."
"Then remember to come to the gate of my community at eight o'clock tomorrow."
"good."
After hanging up the phone with Lin Chuyao, I thought about going to Jiang Suisui and her daughter to do something and make her pay a price. I learned that I was going to do something, and Lao Hei and Ma Gan were also going to go. They said it was a good day. It's okay, being idle is also idle.
The three of us left the dormitory area and just walked to the gate of Royal International. The door of a Toyota suddenly opened, and then an "acquaintance" who I had always wanted to see stepped out of the car.
It's the ape.
Compared with the past, Ape has basically not changed much, except that he has a heavier social atmosphere. He wears a gold chain and a gold Rolex. He is dressed in a 25-80,000 yuan outfit, which is quite similar to the old days. thing.
He must have made a special trip to wait for me here, so he got off the car as soon as I came out.
To be honest, I was quite surprised. I thought he would keep avoiding me until I blocked him in person, but I didn’t expect that he would dare to come to me. As for why he came to me, I guessed it, either He just threatened me, told me how he was doing, and told me not to cause trouble, otherwise I would not get any good results.
Or he was apologizing to me, saying that he was helpless at the time, that he was sorry for me, and hoped that I could forgive him. Anyway, no matter what it is, I will never let go of the hatred in my heart. I must avenge this hatred. .
Walking up to the three of us, the monkey smiled at me and nodded: "Zhang Yang, can we find a place to have a good chat?"
I looked at Lao Hei and Ma Gan: "How many minutes will you wait for me here? I'll go talk to him?"
Lao Hei said impatiently: "Two grown men can just chat here, but they also need to chat alone. Are they going to do something shameful? Isn't it just to poke each other's butts?"
"Go away, that's what you did. I won't do it. You wait here for me."
Putting these words down, I walked towards the entrance of the alley where the man with the flowered arm was beaten before. There was no one there. When the monkey followed me, he also said: "Let's go have a meal. I'll treat you. Then we can Let’s have a good chat and have a few more drinks. This can be regarded as a brother’s blessing for you, and it can also be regarded as an apology for what happened back then, okay?”
"brother?"
I stopped and looked at him with a smile: "Did I hear you right? You mean we are still brothers now?"
The ape knew he was in the wrong, so he just smiled and said nothing.
Originally, I continued walking to the alley, but when I saw that Lao Hei and Ma Gan were a little far away, they couldn't hear me talking to the monkeys, so I might as well just talk here.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" I asked.
"I'm mainly here to apologize to you. What I did that year was really outrageous. In the past four years, I've been feeling guilty. I'm really sorry. I was actually forced to do it, and I... …”
When he said this, I interrupted directly: "Guilty? If you have felt guilty in the past four years, why didn't you go to the prison to see me? Even if you went to give me some clothes and some delicious food, that would be fine?"
"I...I really want to go find you, but I don't know how to go about the specific process."
"Okay." I waved my hand: "Stop talking about this. You and I both know what you are thinking. There is no need to pretend here. If you came to apologize to me today, then there is no need. Yes, I don’t accept it.”
"I was really forced. My godbrother insisted on asking me to say this at that time. He said that if he didn't say this, the crime of kidnapping and extorting Jiang Suisui's mother and daughter would fall on him. What's more, They said they were going to beat me or something. This was actually the intention of Jiang Suisui and his daughter. They had negotiated with my godbrother. I was just a younger brother under my godbrother, and I didn’t dare to disobey him at that time. I mean, I’m really sorry.”
I sneered and continued to ask: "Then are you willing to testify for me now? Let's go to the public security bureau now. You can tell me everything about that year and clear my name, okay?"
The monkey smiled bitterly and said nothing. After a moment of silence, he said: "Zhang Yang, now that everything is over, you have been in prison for four years. If you continue to struggle with these four years, what's the point? Human You should look forward, you should think more about your future, and..."
I interrupted him directly and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, just tell me, are you willing to testify for me, and are you willing to identify your godbrother and Jiang Suisui, mother and daughter."
