If the world had no daylight

Chapter 114 Huiru's Story

The real death is to be forgotten by the whole world.

But the moment Chen Huiru jumped off the window sill, it was destined that she would always exist in the memory of some people.

Ye Wan didn't know if Chen Huiru saw herself downstairs before she jumped down that snowy night.

She does not have the perspective of God, and cannot look down into the hearts of the dead.

She only knew that this story should not have ended like this.

However, the person who pushed it off track happened to include herself.

"What Shi Yuanyuan said is the truth."

Ye Wan leaned against the tatami window sill, looking out at the bright and clear night, her voice was neither soft nor slow.

Bai Tian hugged a pillow, and did not disturb her rare confession.

Ye Wan turned to look at her and said, "Before Chen Huiru committed suicide, she called me."

The person in front of him didn't have much emotion, as if he was just listening to a story written by someone.

Ye Wan looked away, and said again: "But at that time, I was full of other things, and I refused to give her a chance to talk about it."

The air was still.

The person leaning against the window lowered his head, and his words were as light as breathing: "... Later I realized what that phone call meant to her, and how I pushed her down step by step. "

On the second floor of the store, only the flickering light of the silent TV is left in the room, making the room even more deadly than ever.

"How sure are you that Brother Zheng will be released without charge?"

The young man in red squatting on the ground broke the silence. He stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and looked up.

The young man with a cropped cut also put down the wine bottle, wiped his face to wake himself up.

Ye Wan shrank on the sofa, opened and closed the cover of the phone, back and forth, as if in a trance.

She didn't answer, and the young man in the red baseball uniform didn't rush, just looked at her.

Ah Ren picked up the wine bottle again, ready to drink it down, but Ye Wan suddenly reached out to snatch it, stood up and said, "I don't have time to get you drunk, we need to find Zhou Xiaoxing as soon as possible before the trial begins."

"That grandson, I fucking chopped him up..."

"Aren." Ye Wan shook his head, raised his hand to pinch his arm, and said, "Wei Zheng was implicated by me, and I chose to use violence to control violence, which caused this consequence. This time I found Zhou Xiaoxing, Don't touch him, it will only cause problems."

The young man in red got up from the ground, walked behind Ah Ren, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Listen to Ye Wan, we can do nothing but fight, so how can we save Brother Zheng?"

The young man with an inch head lowered his head, Ye Wan sighed, and said softly: "I know you want to stab Zhou Xiaoxing to death now, and I want to too, but we can't, it's up to us whether Wei Zheng can come out."

Ah Ren clenched his fists and finally nodded.

"Ma Yuan, you have to keep away from looking for Zhou Xiaoxing. He is smarter than you think, so you can't underestimate him."

The young man in red responded and gave Ren a hand, and the two turned around and went downstairs.

Ye Wan turned on the phone, looked at the photos on it, and began to lose consciousness again.

Footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor, and she turned her head to look, and it turned out that it was Ma Yuan who had returned.

Ye Wan looked behind him, turned around knowingly, and said, "You avoid Ah Ren, what do you want to ask me?"

He answered straight to the point: "There is one thing I can't figure out."

Ye Wan sat down on the sofa, and Ma Yuan simply came over and sat down.

"I know what you want to ask, but I have to hold back." Ye Wan also told him bluntly.

Ma Yuan clasped his hands, looked at her, and asked, "I know you and brother Zheng have been investigating one thing, and I don't intend to find out what you are doing, I just want to ask you, if you want to cooperate non-violently Zhou Xiaoxing agrees to appear in court, so will you agree to any of his conditions?"

"For example, don't pursue him anymore." He looked directly into Ye Wan's eyes, and his ordinary face was sharpened by the eyes at this moment.

Ye Wan paused, and had to sigh: "I sometimes fear your intuition, because you are very accurate most of the time."

Ma Yuan stared at her silently.

"But unfortunately, I have no intention of letting him go this time." Ye Wan replied frankly.

The young man in red looked at her expressions one by one as if he wanted to distinguish the real from the fake, and finally showed a rare smile.

"I'm glad you're not a saint." He seemed to mean something.

After Ma Yuan left again, Ye Wan was the only one left upstairs and downstairs in the shop.

She opened Wei Zheng's bedroom. The room had not been lived in for a long time, and it had accumulated dust.

Ye Wan looked at the simple furnishings in the house, walked slowly to the computer desk, and brushed the dust off the desk with his hand.

At an inconspicuous corner of the table, under the pressure of her two fingers, a rectangular table wood appeared, and was gently pushed away, revealing a small space the size of a palm inside.

Ye Wan took out the video tape hidden inside.

It has a simple date written on it, and no other information.

There is a mainframe under the computer desk. Ye Wan opened the drawer, took out the disc with ambiguous words from a whole box of CDs, put it into the CD-ROM of the mainframe, and turned it on.

Not long after, a picture appeared on the monitor. To ordinary people, it was just one of thousands of movies. At most, the heroine looked better.

A rustling sound came from the speaker, Ye Wan ignored the tall man in the picture and climbed onto the bed, and untied the clothes of the sleepy man on the bed.

The shooting equipment far surpasses most small movies on the market, and the picture quality is very clear, but the man in the picture avoids his face from the beginning to the end.

If it wasn't for Wei Zheng going back and forth to check the video frame by frame, and finally found some unprocessed profile shots, they would not be able to know who this person is until today.

Unfortunately, this person is dead.

before he is brought to justice.

Ye Wan turned off the computer expressionlessly, took out the disc, put it in the box, put it in the bag together with the master video tape, and left the bedroom.

"saint?"

The girl in a black sweater drank the remaining half bottle of wine in one gulp.

"Just take a look at this world, and the saint should be disgusted to death."

Finding Zhou Xiaoxing was faster than Ye Wan expected.

What she didn't expect was that Chen Huiru finally showed up, which made her more relieved than finding Zhou Xiaoxing.

However, before the breath came out, it stuck in her throat and gave her a heavy blow.

Chen Huiru is pregnant.

The snowy day in the deep winter was no more chilly than this, but Ye Wan still forced himself to calm down, put out the thought of stabbing Zhou Xiaoxing to death immediately, and dragged Chen Huiru back to his apartment.

I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, but Chen Huiru still trusted Ye Wan without reservation, Ye Wan asked the information he wanted to know without much effort.

She was less than three months pregnant, and the time on the video tape did not match at all. It could only be the time when Chen Huiru and Zhou Xiaoxing eloped...

But Zhou Xiaoxing had a lot of criminal records, Ye Wan looked at Chen Huiru's fragile face, and couldn't answer any questions he wanted to know.

She can only suppress these, because there are more imminent things.

"I'll accompany you to the hospital, now."

Chen Huiru looked a little wavering.

After three months since she ran away from home, she was already emaciated and out of shape. Ye Wan couldn't even bear to ask her where she had been and how she was doing during this time.

"I don't want to go... I really don't want to..." Chen Huiru knelt down and sobbed with her head down.

Ye Wan suppressed his emotions, squatted down, and asked softly, "Why? Don't you know that this incident will ruin your life?"

Chen Huiru just cried and didn't answer anything.

Ye Wan paused, and finally reached out to hug her, patted her on the back lightly, and said slowly: "Don't be afraid, I will help you, please tell me? What are you afraid of? If you tell me, I will tell you." will help you with it."

The man who was sobbing silently in her arms grabbed her clothes tightly, and after a long time, said sobbingly: "I...my parents...don't want me anymore..."

"...I only have... only him now."

It took Ye Wan several seconds to understand what she was talking about.

She raised her head, silently consumed the anger that she was about to be unable to suppress, and patiently waited until Chen Huiru was tired from crying and fell asleep, and then quietly left the apartment.

"Aren, bring Zhou Xiaoxing out."

She picked up a rusty metal baseball bat and stepped into the deserted warehouse on a snowy night.

When Zhou Xiaoxing was hit with a stick and lying on the ground, he didn't react as if he was stunned.

He didn't understand how the person who only talked but didn't move his hands not long ago changed his appearance today, so he lay on the ground and forgot to dodge the baseball bat that was swung down for the second time.

The inch-cut youth stood guard at the door, turning a blind eye to the screams in the warehouse.

The black figure wearing a mask held a baseball bat, and when it landed on Zhou Xiaoxing for the third and fourth time, he finally hugged himself and shouted loudly: "I already promised you! I promised you!"

Ye Wan was indifferent, and once again slammed him on the back, Zhou Xiaoxing couldn't bear it, and cried loudly: "Please forgive me! I was wrong! I was really wrong! Don't hit me again!"

The man in the black sweater got a headache from his voice, so he kicked him in the face and gagged his mouth.

Ma Yuan, who came here after hearing the news, frowned when he saw this scene, and wanted to come over and stop Ye Wan.

But she had already squatted down, stepped on Zhou Xiaoxing's face with one foot, and propped herself on the ground with a baseball bat in one hand.

"How could you be wrong? You are very smart."

Ye Wan took off her mask, and the hot air she exhaled diffused in the cold air, but her eyes were colder than the surrounding temperature.

"Afraid that the matter would be revealed, coax her to let her elope with you. Do you think the police won't be able to find you?"

The blood-stained man was lying on the ground, his eyes squinted by the white light in the warehouse, making it impossible for anyone to see his eyes.

Ye Wan stabbed his abdomen with a stick, Zhou Xiaoxing grunted, and then clenched his fists.

"I know you didn't really agree to me. You still have a hole card. I wondered what your abilities are before. I didn't expect that I underestimated you too much."

She stood up and kicked him hard on the chin again until he spat out blood.

"How dare you use pregnancy to control her, so that she can't leave you? Do you know that she is only 17 years old, and giving birth to this child will ruin her life!"

Ma Yuan, who was standing beside him, paused for a moment, then turned his head and walked over with an iron rod not far away, but Ah Ren, who was guarding the door, moved faster than him, kicking violently after a few steps.

"Fuck! Fuck! What the fuck are you!"

He kicked too hard, seeing that Zhou Xiaoxing was about to pass out, Ye Wan immediately pulled him back, and also stopped the impatient Ma Yuan.

She squatted down, picked up the half-dead man, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, she will kill this child immediately, and she will go home and continue her studies. After graduation, she will work and have a wonderful life waiting for her. You This kind of rubbish will stay in your stinky ditch for a lifetime."

Ye Wan let go of her hand, got up and took out a tissue to wipe her fingers, then threw it on the ground.

Ah Ren spat, cursed and followed her out of the warehouse.

Ma Yuan glanced at the people on the ground, then turned around and walked outside the warehouse, and then locked the door of the warehouse.

After venting, Ye Wan finally regained his sanity.

"Send him back to the hotel tomorrow morning. If there is too much noise, the loss outweighs the gain."

Ma Yuan nodded, looking at Ye Wan's expression, he wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know how to do so.

On the other hand, Ah Ren was forthright, and said: "If you hit him, hit him, don't care if he is violent or not, if the grandson doesn't hit him, why don't we keep him for the Chinese New Year?"

Ye Wan shook her head, "I'm still too impulsive, this must be the last time, next time you have to stop me no matter what."

Ah Ren shrugged, and exchanged a glance with Ma Yuan.

The two of them might be the one who had the most fun. I don't know who is playing.

It took Ye Wan a long time to pull Chen Huiru out.

In the three months since she ran away from home, the only person she faced every day was Zhou Xiaoxing. The thoughts transplanted by him were not so easy to eradicate, and neither was her dependence on him.

Fortunately, Chen Huiru was willing to listen to Ye Wan's words.

So Ye Wan told her over and over again.

"Believe me, Huiru, anyone in this world may abandon you, but your parents will never. They cried and ran for many days to find you. As long as you go back, they will definitely forgive you."

Chen Huiru wiped her face, looked at Ye Wan, and asked, "Can I really go back?"

Ye Wan nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

Chen Huiru cried again, more hysterical than before, and she did not hide her grievances. She hugged Ye Wan and said loudly: "I miss home so much, I miss them so much, I wanted to call them many times, but I didn't Dare, I'm afraid they really don't want me anymore."

Ye Wan patted her on the back, and said softly: "I know, you called me for help, and you want to come back too, Huiru, if we know our mistakes, we will correct them, and there is still time for everything."

She backed away a little distance, looked at Chen Huiru's face, and said, "Go for the surgery, I'll accompany you, okay?"

The girl with eyes swollen from crying looked at her and nodded vigorously.

"I've already given you the time of the court session and the sample statement. Do you have any questions?"

The hotel room was still a mess, Ye Wan wrinkled his nose, unwilling to take another step into the room.

The person curled up on the bed didn't know how long he hadn't washed, his hair was so long that it covered his forehead, and his hair was greasy in strands. The lingering smell emanating from him made Ren who was at the door sick to his stomach several times.

"When I appear in court, there is only my statement."

Zhou Xiaoxing finally spoke, his voice seemed to be hoarse, and his voice was harsh and unpleasant.

"You don't have to worry about this, we will prepare other things."

The person on the bed lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking, and asked after a long time, "Where's Huiru, is she going to appear in court?"

Ye Wan frowned, and replied impatiently: "You just have to do what you should do."

Zhou Xiaoxing seemed to be really puzzled, and asked seriously: "Is this really feasible?"

"What exactly do you want to ask?" Ren snapped gruffly.

The person on the bed flinched and said in a low voice: "I just don't understand. Even if I stand up and identify Zhang Lao Wu, the judge still needs to look at the evidence. You only have me... the evidence of drugging her. Zhang Lao Wu is dead. Do you have evidence to prove what he did?"

"Of course there is..." Ah Ren was in the middle of speaking, but was stopped by Ye Wan's eyes.

She turned her head to look at Zhou Xiaoxing, and said in a flat tone: "I have all the evidence of the transaction between you and Zhang Laowu. Do you want to show it to you one by one? Instead of thinking about our affairs here, why not think about what you are doing?" It shows that you can eat less prison food."

"You have to know..." Ye Wan lowered her voice, "There are more than one charges for what you did."

She straightened up, and finally said: "Don't use any more brains, you don't care about human feelings before the law."

After the three of them left the room, the person on the bed finally raised his head and looked at the closed door without blinking his eyes.

The snow fell and stopped, and the streets were filled with red lanterns, embellishing the world covered in silver.

Pedestrians are all carrying big bags, luggage, or shopping for the new year, with smiles on their faces.

Chen Huiru stood at the door of the house. It took her a long time to lose feeling in her feet before she came back to her senses, and then mustered up the courage to press the doorbell.

The heart began to beat uncontrollably, Chen Huiru held her breath, while waiting for the door to open, at the same time she had the urge to turn around and run away.

In the next second, the door in front of him was opened.

Chen Huiru gritted her teeth, raised her head and looked over.

The middle-aged woman who opened the door had a haggard face. After seeing the person at the door, she shed tears before opening her mouth.

Chen Huiru was startled, and was about to call her when the woman in front of her hugged her.

She was so hard that it was almost suffocating, Chen Huiru was a little out of breath, but she couldn't say a word even when she opened her mouth, instead she swallowed her own tears.

The middle-aged man who was startled by the door came out and asked, "Mother, who is here?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw this scene and froze in place.

Chen Huiru looked over and wanted to call him, but was out of breath from crying.

The man sniffed and wiped his face silently after a long while.

"It's cold outside, come in quickly." He beckoned, and turned around to see the empty coffee table and dining table, and he was a little flustered.

"My mother, why don't I have anything at home, I have to buy vegetables and meat..."

The man's rambling voice was shut inside the house by the door, and the couplet posted on the door was quietly hung on the door, with four large characters right above it saying: Happy family.

After nightfall, the smell of food spread from door to door, and even the guard at the door was given a few lunch boxes of dumplings, which made his belly bulge.

On the 12th floor of a certain building, in a room with warm yellow lights, Chen Huiru, who had put on new clothes, was standing in the long-lost boudoir, looking at herself in the mirror.

She hasn't looked in the mirror for a long time because she doesn't want to see her belly.

But now, standing in this room, smelling the long-lost smell, she is suddenly not afraid of anything.

Ye Wan is right, only her parents and family are her only protection, she is back, she will continue to go to school, she will get rid of these muddle-headed months, and live the life she should have lived.

"It's time to call Ye Wan..." Chen Huiru found out the cell phone she had left at home. Because it hadn't been used for a long time, it had been charged for a long time before turning it on.

She found Ye Wan's number and was about to call it when a call suddenly rang.

It's a string of landline numbers, which looks familiar.

Chen Huiru looked at it, but couldn't remember where the number was, so she could only connect it temporarily.

"Hui Ru, it's me." The voice on the other end was very low.

Chen Huiru wanted to hang up the phone in an instant, but the person on the other end quickly said, "Huiru, I'm sorry, I lied to you, I'm sorry, can you forgive me?"

She pursed her lips, but still couldn't help asking: "What did you lie to me?"

"That time last March, when you were drunk, I'm sorry, I drugged your wine..."

Chen Huiru failed to hold the phone and let it drop on the table.

However, the voice on the phone could still be heard clearly, revealing everything she knew nothing about.

"You lied to me!" Chen Huiru couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted him with a loud roar.

The person at the other end quickly said: "Ye Wan wants to expose this matter, she has evidence, Zhang Laowu took a video, Huiru, you have to stop her! If the video is released, everyone will know about you, you We must stop her!"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, you are lying, you did it on purpose!" Chen Huiru picked up the phone and was about to throw it out.

Zhou Xiaoxing suddenly raised his voice: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Ye Wan. She helped you for Wei Zheng. Zhang Lao Wu was killed by Wei Zheng. She wanted to help Wei Zheng get rid of the crime. She was hiding it from the beginning to the end. You, Huiru, you trust me!"

Chen Huiru hung up the phone and threw the phone on the bed.

She hugged herself and curled up on the floor, even forgetting that she was still wearing new clothes.

The TV sound in the living room was turned off, someone went back to the room to get ready to rest, someone stopped at her door, and said to her, "Hui Ru, wash up early and go to bed."

She didn't seem to understand anything, so she sat on the floor like this, until after a long time, the phone on the bed rang.

It's the notification tone for SMS.

Chen Huiru raised her head to look over, and there was an intuition telling her that it was best not to look.

But as if possessed by a demon, she got up and walked over step by step, picked up the phone, clicked on the text message, and downloaded the picture in the MMS message.

"Ye Wan...can you come to my house? Parents want to thank you...I also have something to think..."

"...Then wait until you're done, can you?"

"...What about tomorrow? Do you have time tomorrow? I really have something to say..."

The tone of the person on the other end of the phone was undeniable and serious: "I have something to do tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow."

The people in the room buried their heads and knelt on the ground, tears falling silently.

After a long time, she swallowed her sobs and finally asked, "Can you tell me what you are busy with?"

There seemed to be sighs scattered in her ears, but she couldn't hear them clearly.

"No." The man replied.
