Yao Ruyi lowered his head and said nothing. It was not difficult to see his inner anxiety from the thumbs he kept shaking on the table.
Yes, Yao Ruyi did have unspeakable reasons for lying to Lao Zhao and others. This was not just because he needed to complete the drama Liu Fugui had told him in advance to win tickets to stay in the villa.
It was even more because what happened at the Juli Stadium itself was a secret that he couldn't reveal.
Yao Ruyi's silence made the waiting Lao Xu unable to sit still. The latter planned to remind him not to think that he could escape this conversation with this passive and mute method, but Lao Xu's actions were blocked by his body. Tang Xiaoquan on the side was stopped.
Tang Xiaoquan patted Lao Xu's right hand that was about to raise, signaling him to give Yao Ruyi some time.
The latter thought about it carefully. After all, the main purpose of their conversation was to understand the truth, not to do anything to the other party.
Excessive pressure may be counterproductive, making the latter even more antagonistic.
Sure enough, after waiting for about 5 minutes, Yao Ruyi finally stopped what he was doing. His chest rose and fell twice. As if he had made a big decision, he suddenly raised his head and said feebly. : "Ask you, as long as I know something, I will tell you the truth."
Lao Xu glanced at Tang Xiaoquan. Neither he nor Lao Lin participated in the last transaction. They only got a rough idea of the whole thing from his dictation later. As for the specific details, they are currently in the car. Only Tang Xiaoquan knew about it at the scene. Therefore, the task of questioning naturally falls on the latter.
For this conversation, Tang Xiaoquan had formulated a three-step implementation plan early in the morning. The first step was to present the facts successfully. In the face of many questions he listed, Yao Ruyi had to admit that he had lied. Then the next step is the successful second step.
The core of the second step is to build a relationship with Yao Ruyi. After all, the strength of the first step has caught the other party off guard. The key is to stabilize the other party's emotions and make him willing to tell the truth.
Tang Xiaoquan was not in a hurry to have substantive communication with Yao Ruyi. In order to obtain practical and accurate information, he knew that it was not the time yet. Because from the latter's reluctant words just now, you can still hear his helplessness.
Therefore, if the other party's concerns cannot be eliminated, the result of this conversation can be imagined with your buttocks, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve the expected effect.
"Xiao Yao, maybe you don't know. In order to get the opportunity to interview you last time, we paid a lot of gasoline in exchange for it. And those things are from my brothers, friends who risk their lives. The purpose of collecting it is to let me get even a little bit of information about my parents from you. The doubts you just saw were actually made when you stated them. I realized that the reason why I didn't expose them in public was, It’s because I believe you can’t confess to me, because you have your own reasons for having to deal with it. And frankly speaking, looking at your weak face at that time, I really couldn’t bear to do that. The most important thing is your past tragic life experience. , and the spirit of not surrendering to fate moved me. And I also firmly believe that at least those words you said were inspired by your feelings."
Yao Ruyi was inadvertently moved by Tang Xiaoquan's words. None of this escaped the former's sharp eyes. If you don't strike while the iron is hot, what's the point? "Well, the doomsday is now, and zombies are rampant. How many people have lost their lives because of this disaster? Those of us who are lucky enough to survive are just struggling to survive. Wives and children are separated, families are destroyed, and we have seen and heard too many similar tragedies along the way. I believe Xiao Yao It must be the same for you."
"My parents are over 60 years old this year. Are they alive or dead now... Alas, but by chance I learned that they are probably in the shelter you mentioned. Just waiting for us to go When we checked, the place had long been deserted, just like what you described, so if they were really in that shelter, they must have gone to other places with the troop you mentioned. , Xiao Yao, only you know the truth about this matter now. I know it’s not good to force you to talk about things you don’t want to mention, but there is no way. If I can find out through other channels, I will definitely not force you. I am also a child who grew up in a rural area. It is not easy for my parents to pull me away, and now I just want to try my best to find these two relatives and do my best to fulfill my filial piety. I am afraid, I really I am so afraid that one day I will die on the streets and I will never have this chance."
When Tang Xiaoquan got to the emotional point, he couldn't help but sob. Lao Lin patted the former's shoulder with understanding, took out a wrinkled tissue from his pocket and handed it over. He sighed and said, "Oh, Xiao Yao, I hope you can." I can understand Xiao Tang’s mood and help him.”
"You can ask, but if your parents, Xiao Tang, are in that shelter, I'm afraid..."
Yao Ruyi hesitated, as if she had something to hide. Tang Xiaoquan quickly asked: "Xiao Yao, what do you mean by this? From the look of you, is there something wrong with that shelter?"
As soon as Tang Xiaoquan finished speaking, the three people present were all nervous. They all thought of the tragedy in the previous gymnasium. Could it be that the Juli Gymnasium is also controlled by bad people? Isn't it that Yao Ruyi said it was managed by the army? If so If that's true, then my parents are really...
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Tang Xulin and the others stared at Yao Ruyi, waiting for his explanation.
"Let me tell you this, when I last met with you, most of the things I told you are true, but I only lied to you about the reason why the survivors of the gymnasium left!"
"Why? Why did you lie to us about this issue alone? Is there another hidden reason for the evacuation of the shelter?"
Tang Xiaoquan did not act as fussy as Lao Xu. His calmness was due to the fact that he had already deduced the reason why the survivors left based on his last trip to the Juli Stadium. It was definitely not what Yao Ruyi had said before. Caused by the zombie siege described above. This was also questioned in the handout he submitted to the former.
Yao Ruyi silently brushed his face with his hands, and then moved them to the center of his forehead. The parts of his head that were spread apart were scratched and messy. His actions made the already anxious Lao Xu even more anxious!
"Xiao Yao, you are talking! What happened at the Juli Stadium! Why did you..."
"Old Xu!" It was Lao Lin who gently interrupted Zhang Chenghui's words again, leaned over to his ear and whispered: "Give him some time!"
Lao Ran nodded silently, his stubbornness was not sweet, they had plenty of time, and they confirmed that there was no need to rush at this moment.
Finally, after another 5 minutes of waiting, Yao Ruyi adjusted his mentality from the pain. He said with a casual look: "The evacuation of the survivors from the gymnasium was not due to zombies at all. This matter is a bit complicated. Let's talk about it." I’ll tell you slowly!” (To be continued.)
