Chapter 5 Brothers
Wu Zhiyuan walked out of Yipintang and let out a long breath. Most of the alcohol dissipated. Regarding Chen Shengtian's words, Wu Zhiyuan directly filtered out eight out of ten.
Such a heroic figure, how could he let his beloved woman be taken away without saying a word? Even so, how could he endure it for more than ten years? Even if he could endure it, he would not have been anxious to ask Wu Zhiyuan to kill someone for him shortly after he met Wu Zhiyuan. Whether Chen Shengtian lies or there is another hidden truth!
But Wu Zhiyuan didn't delve into all this. The first thing he considered was how to find Chen Xi.
"We each get what I promise you, and I will do it for you. I hope you don't cheat me!"
The night was drizzling, and Wu Zhiyuan walked along the riverside. He came to the place where the murder case had occurred before. The bloody corpse was gone, and even the blood spilled all over the ground was cleaned. The traces before seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and the road surface had returned to smoothness, as if nothing had happened.
The river is surging, and the lights on the riverside are shining on the river surface, sparkling. This is a seductive night. Many people are standing by the Yangtze River, some are talking big, some are talking about love, and some are taking photos with cameras.
Wu Zhiyuan looked at all this coldly, and he would never forget the woman's desperate eyes and the shrill roar.
"I am an accomplice of the murderer!" Wu Zhiyuan laughed at himself and walked down the river, "It's time to find a place to stay!"
Finally, Wu Zhiyuan stopped in a place with few crowds and dim lights. In front of him was a three-story building with lights on it.
There is a small courtyard outside the building that is about 30 square meters. There are some simple flowers and plants inside, with walls surrounding the yard, a door is closed, and not far from the door, there is a piece of paper with the words "Lease for rent" and a telephone number left.
Wu Zhiyuan walked around the building, changed a phone card, and dialed the phone number on the wall. Soon, a fat middle-aged woman came out and appeared in front of Wu Zhiyuan.
"Rent a house?" she shouted as soon as she came out, her voice even more powerful than that of an ordinary man.
"Yeah!" Wu Zhiyuan nodded.
"You can check the room first!" The two of them walked into the room and arrived at the third floor. The woman opened the door.
"This is a one-bedroom and living room house with a kitchen, bathroom, and balcony. This used to be a female student living in it. After the college entrance examination, she moved out." The woman took Wu Zhiyuan around the room and said as she walked, "Look, this balcony is very big, and the bonsai above was left by the female student. She used to read books here. And from here, the Yangtze River is close to her!"
"Yes, how much does it cost per month?" Wu Zhiyuan asked casually.
"This room has a refrigerator, a TV, a sofa, everything, so it's a bit expensive. Many people came to see the room before, but because it was very expensive, I didn't get a deal. Big brother, I'm also straightforward, let's do it, 3,000 yuan a month, the water and electricity bill is calculated separately, what do you think?" She said endlessly, and took Wu Zhiyuan into the bedroom.
"Brother, look at this room, it is spacious and bright. From here, you can see the Yangtze River. There is also this bed, which is spacious and comfortable, and it is not expensive for three thousand..."
"Okay! Tell me directly how to charge!" Wu Zhiyuan was a little impatient by his argument and interrupted.
"That's right, my family doesn't live here. If it weren't for renting out the house, they wouldn't come here. The rent was paid once a year, but seeing that your elder brother got along with me, I'll give it to me for half a year." She said happily. She rarely saw such people. She didn't care whether the rent was expensive or not, and she didn't bargain or ask for anything else. She was very happy.
"Are there any other tenants here besides me?" Wu Zhiyuan asked.
"No more, there is no one except my family. I didn't rent it before. Didn't I just bought a house? When the house was empty, I just rented it out." She spread her hands and said.
"Sister, you are looking for someone to take care of your house, and you also charge such a high rent!" Wu Zhiyuan stared at her and laughed.
"This..." She was a little embarrassed by Wu Zhiyuan's stare.
"Sister, I'll give you a penny for half a year's rent, but I went out in a hurry and forgot to bring my ID card. So, this is my student ID. This is my senior year. You can register it. I'll give you money later. How about it?" Wu Zhiyuan smiled and handed her the student ID card.
She held the student ID, and the name on it was Wu Feng!
"Oh! So it's a college student! It seems that this house is a fate with a student. Just one person left and another one came. Since he is a college student, I don't need to register anymore. I can trust it." She laughed and prepared to return the student ID to Wu Zhiyuan.
"Sister, the program will still be gone, otherwise someone will come to check the rounds and you will be in trouble, right!"
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go!" Her voice was still echoing in the room, and heavy footsteps came from the stairwell again.
Wu Zhiyuan looked around in the room. This room was good. More importantly, this area was a blind spot for surveillance, and no one could easily find his whereabouts. Even if it could, the building was filled with alleys, and it would be easy to get out.
When the landlord walked in with the keys, Wu Zhiyuan had already prepared the money. After a simple handover, she left happily with the red banknotes.
Wu Zhiyuan came to the balcony and placed various potted plants on it, which were obviously carefully trimmed.
"What a kind girl. You often read here. I wonder if these bonsai are also filled with your book fragrance!"
Wu Zhiyuan looked up and the Yangtze River was vast and in the vast night sky, he didn't know its longevity.
"Yangtze River, I don't know how much hope you have carried and how many people's dreams have buried!" Wu Zhiyuan sighed, returned to the living room, opened the luggage bag, and took out a yellow bag from it. He opened the bag, stared at a name on the paper, and his eyes couldn't help but shrink.
"Deputy Mayor of Yucheng City, Jiang Ruolin! Is it you who Chen Shengtian wants me to deal with?" Wu Zhiyuan looked at the name and took a deep breath. No wonder, a deputy mayor, 500,000 yuan, is worth the money!
Wu Zhiyuan looked at Jiang Ruolin's information for a while, and then dug out Wang Wen's information. It was remembered in detail, and even recorded their personality traits and a small movement. Wu Zhiyuan looked at the information of the two, frowned. Both of them were not easy-going, and it seemed that they had to ask for help.
Wu Zhiyuan opened his phone, changed into the original card, and dialed a long-clogged number.
"Hey! Is it Brother Yuan?" An excited voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's me!" Wu Zhiyuan's voice became a little hoarse. So many things have happened this month that Wu Zhiyuan almost forgot about time. It seems that after hundreds of spring and autumn, he heard the sound from the phone again, as if he had passed by the next generation.
"Brother Yuan, where are you? After I arrived in Wucheng, I kept calling you, but I couldn't get through. Are you okay?" The voice on the other end of the phone was very powerful, like a yellow clock, and it rang in Wu Zhiyuan's ears, deafening.
"Xiaoyong, I'm in Yucheng, I need you to come and help me!" Wu Zhiyuan spoke directly.
"Brother Yuan, is something wrong?" The voice revealed concern on the phone.
"It's hard to say, Xiaoyong, are you here to help me? I won't treat you badly..."
"Brother Yuan, what are you saying?" Wu Zhiyuan was interrupted before he finished speaking. "If it weren't for you, I either starved to death or was beaten to death when I was a child! Do you still remember what I said? We are brothers. If you have something to do, I have no choice. I will book the air ticket immediately and it will be over tomorrow."
"Good brother!"
Wu Zhiyuan hung up the phone, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, leaned lazily on the sofa, and stared at the ceiling.
Wu Zhiyuan still remembers that it was this brother who was beaten to death in order to help him stand out; Wu Zhiyuan still remembers that it was this brother who actually went to borrow loan sharks for him to go to college, and was almost interrupted by someone; Wu Zhiyuan still remembers that when something happened to his father, it was this brother who ran around and worked hard; Wu Zhiyuan still remembers that not long ago, he taught him that no matter what he did or what he encountered, he must stick to his original intention, be a person with principles and bottom line, and not do things against his conscience!
However, there have been so many things that Wu Zhiyuan doesn’t know whether he can still stick to his true nature or whether he is still doing things according to principles. He doesn’t know what his future prospects are!
"Am I still me?" Wu Zhiyuan vomited a mouthful of smoke, and it was as if he saw Chen Xi's face, and immediately flicked up and straightened his back, "I am still me..."
P.S. Tonight is Christmas Eve, Christmas is coming, and Wu Kaiyang is here to wish you all the best! I hope all friends will be safe and happy for the whole family!
