Eleven years ago.
The streets were not as congested as they are now, but during rush hour, speeds would be controlled within a certain range due to stop-and-go traffic.
Even the elder brother riding a motorcycle next to him looked over in surprise, questioning the practicality of such a big piece of iron. It couldn't compare to his car, which consumed less fuel and could carry people and blow the air. But in a few years, he will no longer be superior, because new regulations will add many shackles to this mode of transportation - for the sake of safety.
Tang Hua sat in the driver's seat and heard the even breathing of the child in the back seat. He finally let go of his worries and breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't expect Tang Qian to be able to keep an eye on the vehicles following him. It's not that he doesn't want this child to reduce his burden, but it's because no matter how smart and sharp a child is, he won't understand the skills of following a car at this young age.
In the final analysis, he just wanted this obviously over-worried child to be bored enough to fall asleep and just let him go and do nothing like an ordinary child, so that he could safely send him to a safe place as early as possible.
Yes, send it to a safe place first. It's not impossible to shelve the task for now. Tang Hua's self-positioning is quite clear - he is just an intelligence provider, and the main people completing the task are the members of the police team led by Captain Song.
The original plan was quite complete, and even if he was no longer involved in the ending, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
The life of the child is the most important, everyone else is there.
He located a police station more than ten kilometers away. Based on several years of experience, the handover locations for most of the organization's key members are not in this area, which means that it is not easy for me to bump into others nearby. If those people discovered the interaction with the police at this time, all efforts would be wasted.
What surprised him was that according to the situation report given by Song Jing, people were still entering the warehouse one after another. This situation is enough to show that most people were unaware that the party was being targeted by the police.
Originally, they had made the worst plan, such as arresting people when people in the warehouse were running away, and they would arrest every one they could.
Could it be that the accomplice whom he had threatened with a gun and temporarily chained to the fence with handcuffs hadn't broken free yet? Although Tang Hua was a little confused, he didn't have time to think too much, because there was still Tang Qian waiting for him, and it was impossible for him to think that only such a person knew his identity at that time.
But the news given by Song Jing later made the speculated facts infinitely closer to this conclusion.
At that time, he did not fire for unknown reasons.
He was almost suppressed because of his hesitation at that moment. Even the arrogant guy who was captured saw the fact that he didn't know how to shoot. He was so angry that he couldn't turn back after several provocations.
This cannot continue. Tang Hua secretly made up his mind that no matter what, after this incident was over, he would get everything back on track.
No matter what happens, as long as he still has one breath left.
Beyond that, protecting this innocent child is more important than completing any other mission. Criminals can still be caught, but the people being protected are as fragile as porcelain, with no room for error.
But exactly when he was only one step away from completing his goal, he discovered something else strange.
It was a small car with a black shell, just like Tang Qian described.
But Tang Qian himself never saw the car again, and Tang Hua didn't notice anything unusual in the rearview mirror. Then there is only one possibility left, either the person chasing them has great supernatural powers and can completely track the two people's whereabouts; or that person knows their whereabouts from the beginning.
As a top student who had gone through several years of police academy training, Tang Hua was confident that he would not make such a low-level mistake.
Before this, Tang Qian had only conveyed the news to one person as a report.
Of course, this person is Song Jing, the Captain Song who is in charge of the overall situation in all tasks. Of course, Tang Qian couldn't easily draw such a conclusion.
He knew Song Jing's character. She was a very respectable policewoman. Although she was a little biased in some details, she was generally harmless. She was an upright person known throughout the police force and even the police academy.
But even if he believed in Song Jing himself, he couldn't resist some small thoughts taking root and sprouting in his heart. Suspicion may not have a clear target, but it can also grow quietly from a dark angle.
Tang Hua thought for a moment and couldn't help but rub his nails, feeling very uneasy.
No matter what, Tang Qian must be escorted to a safe place now. He stepped on the accelerator and was about to move to another place alone when he saw someone getting out of a black car.
It was a well-dressed young man, wearing a well-fitting suit. His movements were slow and unhurried, as if he was going to a high-class banquet in the next second.
He didn't shy away from anything, with an easy-going look. He waved his hand as if to say hello to Tang Hua who turned his gaze, as if he were saying hello to his biological brother. He didn't look hostile or dangerous.
Tang Hua had never seen this person before, but he already felt a different kind of vigilance for no reason. This vigilance was even stronger than when he met the murderer who could open his mouth to bite at any time, but was suddenly suppressed just because of the difference in weapons.
But the young man who got off the car was clearly a harmless-looking person.
Because Tang Hua saw more than this. The thing he noticed stopped all his movements at a certain moment when he was scanning the young man's movements.
That was the gesture the young man then made.
Instinct made Tang Hua feel a silent intimidation. Obviously, no one would take out the air conditioner remote control at home and show it to others, and the car key does not have a rough shell that is obviously homemade...
The voice gave him the answer.
Just on the street not far away, as if in response to Tang Hua's doubts, there was the roar of an explosion, the loud sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and a woman's shrill scream.
The rooftops in the distance are filled with smoke and dust. Tang Hua hesitated for a moment and then rushed over, seeing such a scene that was hard to ignore.
The steel bar fell to the ground. One end had been melted by the high temperature of the explosion, but it was reshaped and fell to the ground.
At the other end of the molten end, part of a child's legs were covered under steel bars, and the ground was covered with bright red blood, which was horrifying.
"Save my child! Save him... I beg you!" The woman was sitting on the ground beside me, her hair was messy, pulling on the child's sleeves in vain, looking at the blood on the ground, painful and At a loss.
But Tang Hua did not impulsively go up to help.
Because he remembered that there was an unidentified guy behind him...and someone he wanted to protect.
He looked back anxiously, and at that moment, the young man in a suit and leather shoes strolled over.
Tang Hua didn't have time to hesitate. He immediately raised his gun and looked into the young man's eyes.
"……what have you done!?"
His voice was trembling, and he could hardly believe the reality he was witnessing.
How could there be such a coincidence? It happened to be the place where I suddenly decided to seek help. It happened to be the place where I arrived at the fastest speed after many twists and turns. It happened to be the scene of the separation of a mother and her child.
The only remaining one may be unavoidable from overflowing again.
Someone already knew his destination, and the only possibility of leaking it was...
"Bomb, don't you understand?" The young man spread his hands, "Hey, hey, it's just such a coincidence that I never thought about it. I just want to show you... a new toy."
Shao Zi paid attention to his movements, took out his mobile phone, and was about to call the ambulance number.
He knew that if the child was pressed under the steel bars, he would not be able to rescue him casually by himself. Acting hastily with this amount of bleeding would more likely result in the child losing too much blood...
But there is no signal and the call cannot be made.
"What's the result?" the young man asked with a smile, obviously he already knew the result.
It was his fault.
"What...what exactly did you do?" Tang Hua took a few steps forward and put the gun against the young man's forehead.
The young man didn't seem to be afraid at all, and waved his hand unmoved.
"Do you really think you can shoot?"
Tang Hua's pupils suddenly shrank, but he remained silent.
The young man calmly said a name.
"you……"
"How do I know?" The young man seemed to enjoy this situation. He finished the second half of his question and said in surprise, "Of course someone told me. Isn't this your secret?"
Tang Hua stood there blankly, his fingertips trembling.
But he didn't press the trigger.
"Call an ambulance if you had been a little later, that child would have died." The young man sneered and reached out to hold Tang Hua's gun.
Tang Hua knew he couldn't shoot, so he hurriedly stopped, made a decisive decision, and rushed towards the car.
He couldn't care too much anymore.
But just after he turned around, the young man took out something from his sleeve.
"I also want to give you a gift."
Tang Hua turned around and felt a sudden pain in his abdomen and blood gushing out.
"This is just an experiment. Whether you believe it or not, the things that appeared just now also exist in that place - you should know which place it is, right?"
Tang Hua didn't have time to think, covered his wound and rushed towards the car.
He had no choice. Other things can only be thought about on the road...
"Boss..." The woman tremblingly approached the young man who was watching the car go away, with luck and expectation in her eyes, "That..."
The young man did not look back, and casually took out a wad of red banknotes from his wallet, throwing them directly on the ground and scattering them.
As if he expected the woman to kneel on the ground and pick up all the banknotes without any scruples, he continued to walk forward without even looking at her.
The pale child behind her also sat up straight, staring blankly at her mother's disheveled figure, with tears still in the corners of her eyes.
At this time, his trouser legs also showed their original appearance.
He has no legs.
Not to mention being pressed under some steel bars and unable to move. Even the bloodstains around it were just pig blood prepared in advance.
Such a farce can happen anywhere. Even finding actors is not difficult. After all, there are too many people in the world who are willing to abandon their dignity in order to satisfy their families.
Families with disabled children are also mostly poor - even families that could originally make ends meet are overwhelmed by the difficulties of life.
"Boss, please have mercy on us." After picking up the banknotes, the woman hugged the child and leaned over the car window as if pleading, "The fare for the ride home..."
The child also stared at him blankly, as if he didn't understand what his mother said, but just obeyed and followed the original order as always.
"Of course. Madam, get in the car and I'll take you home."
Ye Zenan smiled.
He does not hesitate to appear to others as a good person, nor does he hesitate to say a polite word.
The woman sat in the car with her child in fear, holding her son who had lost his legs in her arms.
Seeing that the boss seemed really kind, she finally dared to ask: "Boss...were those voices just now...?"
She didn't see what was going on.
"Sorry, ma'am, you don't need to know." Ye Zenan is good-natured, but good at giving sweet dates, "Don't tell anyone. Of course, if you don't tell anyone about the matter after one year, you will get another ten thousand Yuan's reward - you deserve it."
"Thank you, boss...thank you, boss..." The woman kept nodding her head in thanks, with even more joy on her face, "You are such a great person..."
Ye Zenan started the vehicle and couldn't help but laugh again after hearing these words.
"He will inevitably die because of his kindness, because in the final analysis, he sees the world as an object of protection and fails to distinguish the most obvious evil."
This was what he recalled saying to his not-so-bright accomplice.
Because the accomplice acted recklessly and had no structure in the overall situation, every calculation he made must be written down and available for others to review at any time.
And everything was going according to his plan. This is not surprising.
Whether life or death, in his eyes, they are all chess pieces of chaos, only black and white.
Truth and goodness are never necessarily connected. Just like newborn children, they are not actually born good, they just happen to be ignorant.
