Situ Jie finished processing the documents normally. He looked out the window at the dark night. He packed up and went down to the parking lot.
He sat in the car and kept looking at the rearview mirror to see if anyone was following him. After observing everything, he started to light the car and drive out of the parking lot.
Located downstairs…
He parked the car and walked into his building. He watched Amin and Aji greet him at the door, and listened to the conversation between Amin and Aji...
"Today is really unlucky."
"Brother Ming, I am the same. When I went to check, I was locked. Fortunately, the elevator is safe. Brother Ming came to save me."
"Ji Zai, stop talking. The residents' gas supply is fine. My trip was in vain."
"The worst thing is that the people who checked the elevator and the cameras all said it was fine. One said the elevator might be old, and the other continued to say it was fine."
When Situ Jie was walking away, he kept looking at Aji and A Ming, thinking a lot.
Walking into the elevator, the elevator gradually rises, the floor lights turn on...
"1…"
"2…"
“12…”
"Ding…"
The elevator door opened, and Situ Jie walked to his door and stopped. He pursed his lips and looked at his door.
He knew that it might be empty inside, with no wife to greet him and no sleeping daughter...
Situ Jie took out the key and opened the door. He thought there would be no one at home, but it turned out that Qiu Gangao, Mo Yiquan and Zhu Xuming were in his home...
Mo Yiquan covered Situ Jie with his hands, while Zhu Xuming dragged Situ Jie's body towards the living room.
Situ Jie struggled repeatedly and was dragged into the living room. He looked at Mo Yiquan and Zhu Xuming. He gave up struggling and was dragged honestly.
Mo Yiquan and Zhu Xuming threw Situ Jie on the sofa...
Situ Jie was thrown onto the sofa, his face full of bitterness. Qiu Gangao picked up the family photos placed in the living room and looked at...
Qiu Gangao lowered his head and looked at Situ Jie's smiling family photo. He turned his head and looked at Situ Jie with a smile and said,
"When were the family photos taken?"
“…”
Situ Jie opened his mouth to say something, but finally he chose to answer Qiu Gangao's question,
"That one was from 2 years ago..."
Qiu Gangao picked up the photo and looked at Situ Jie's family carefully. He turned around and showed the photo to Situ Jie in a calm tone. He smiled at Situ Jie and said,
"2 years ago…"
"You live a happy life."
Situ Jie looked at Qiu Gang'ao's expression, and he felt more and more uneasy. Qiu Gang'ao treated him so calmly, which made fear well up in his heart...
"Ao, it's not that I didn't want to protect you 4 years ago..."
"I thought Abang would protect you. As long as he says a word, I will definitely help you. I said that, but..."
"But I can't say it in court. I also have a family and I want to live a better life."
"It's me who's weak, it's me who didn't tell the truth..."
"But, you can't blame me, even if I tell the truth..."
Qiu Gang'ao listened to Situ Jie's explanation, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. His face twitched, and he quickly regained his composure. His voice was as gentle as when he was on a mission.
Qiu Gangao laid down the photo and said to Situ Jie with a smile,
"That's all in the past..."
"It's useless to talk now."
When Situ Jie heard what Qiu Gang'ao said, he nodded in agreement. He said to Qiu Gang'ao,
"Yes, the matter is over."
"Ao, what happened in the past was that I couldn't live with you. I can accept any compensation you want. Qianqi (be sure) don't mess around, and don't hurt my family members."
Qiu Gangao walked up to Situ Jie. He looked down at Situ Jie. He bent down and looked at Situ Jie.
Situ Jie's eyes were full of terror, and Situ Jie was very afraid of himself.
Qiu Gangao stopped his smile and looked steadily into Situ Jie's eyes. He suddenly showed a bright smile and asked Situ Jie,
"real?"
Situ Jie knew that Qiu Gangao would not let him go. He had been on duty for so many years. He had protected many brothers and sisters, told many lies, and harmed many people...
Situ Jie didn't think he was a bad person. He never wanted to harm Qiu Gangao. He just wanted to keep his position, his resume, and his future...
shouldn't...
This should not be borne by myself. Logically speaking, it should be Zhang Chongbang...
Situ Jie still felt that he was not wrong. A thousand people would lie in court.
Lying does not mean that he intends to torture Qiu Gangao and others to death. He has no malicious intentions, but...
I want to protect my position and my promotion.
Are you really at fault? Society is not like that, and justice is not justice. Making choices is not about right or wrong, but what should be done.
at this point…
Situ Jie knew that he had to take responsibility for this matter, and he could not refuse. Now that he was a father and a husband, it was up to him to protect the family.
It's his fault and he should bear it...
Have a family, protect your family.
After Situ Jie made his decision, his throat trembled and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He raised his head and looked at Qiu Gang'ao resolutely. He said to Qiu Gang'ao,
"You can ask me to do anything..."
"But you can't hurt my family members, I beg you."
Situ Jie slipped off the sofa, straightened his body, bent his legs and knees, and knelt in front of Qiu Gang'ao.
Qiu Gangao's expression became strange. He looked at Situ Jie who was kneeling in front of him. He tilted his head in confusion. He gritted his teeth and looked at Situ Jie and said,
"Why? How can you people be so "just"?"
"Facing my own mistakes, why? Why do I think we are the bad guys?"
"Are we really wrong?"
"Are we really at fault?"
"What have you given us, what have you done, and why can you face it so calmly, as if we are the bad guys and we are the victims!"
"Brother Biao! He is a victim!"
“…”
Situ Jie knelt in front of Qiu Gang'ao, his head lowered without saying a word.
After more than ten seconds, Situ Jie raised his head full of begging. He put his hands together and knelt down to beg Qiu Gang'ao. His voice trembled and he said to Qiu Gang'ao,
"It's my failure, it's my fault, I beg you..."
"Don't hurt my family members. You can do whatever you want. I beg you."
Qiu Gangao looked at Situ Jie, pinched Situ Jie's chin with his hand, smiled at Situ Jie and said,
"OK."
"This is what you promised, don't go back on it..."
Situ Jie pursed his lips, with bitterness and fear on his face. He could not face his own death. He still wanted to see his daughter go to college. He nodded with Qiu Gangao,
"I promise you, I will do anything."
Situ Jie said to his wife and daughter in his heart: I'm sorry, I can't accompany you until you grow old.
There was a knock on Situ Jie’s door...
"Dong dong dong..." (End of this chapter)
