Seeing Hua Zhongxiong's reaction, Hua Xiaoxiong went forward and hugged him. "Second brother, you have to explain everything today. If you did something evil, then you have to take responsibility! Otherwise, you will continue like this until you drive yourself crazy! "
"Don't force him. He needs some time now." Xu Yun said lightly, "Hua Zhongxiong, since I can find you, it means that I know what happened before. I came to find you for no other reason than to know if Ruan Chao is alive or dead. I can accept any result. What should have happened has happened. Just like what your brother said, you can't put all the pressure on yourself. "
Hua Zhongxiong's body kept trembling. He was really driven crazy by the mental torture over the years. He wanted to forget everything. He thought he could forget everything, but he really couldn't. For so many years, as long as he went out, the scene of Ruan Chao's last struggle would appear in front of him. He really couldn't bear it!
"Wu —!!" A man in his forties suddenly burst into tears. Grief eroded his entire being. "I'm sorry for Brother Ruan Chao! I'm sorry for him! If you want to catch me, then catch me. It's all my fault. It's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't be in trouble! I deserve to die! "
Although Hua Xiaoxiong was mentally prepared, when he heard his second brother admit that this matter was related to him, his heart still thumped. It was as if he had fallen into an abyss of eternal damnation.
"You'll feel better if you say it." Xu Yun continued, "No one will catch you. No one will investigate anything. I just need the truth. What happened to Ruan Chao? I can see that you're definitely not a despicable person. You're a kind person. Otherwise, you wouldn't have suffered so much mental torture. Say it. Tell me everything you know. "
Hua Xiaoxiong looked at Xu Yun in confusion. He always thought that his second brother admitted that he had harmed someone. Was it not like this?
Hua Zhongxiong cried in pain for a while. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Xu Yun. "It's me. It's all my fault." He began to sink into the memories of that time. His lips trembled as he told this stranger everything. As long as he did not tell this secret that had suppressed his heart, he would not be able to find peace in his heart.
Back then, Hua Zhongxiong had no choice but to agree to take the blame for his boss when he found out about his father's kidney failure. At that time, Ruan Chao was involved in this matter with him. The two of them each took 100,000 yuan and escaped.
After that, Hua Zhongxiong called home and asked how much the treatment cost. When he heard the sky-high price of two hundred thousand yuan, he fell into despair. But at that time, Ruan Chao took out his one hundred thousand yuan and said that he would lend it to Hua Zhongxiong first. When Hua Zhongxiong had money, he could return it to him.
He had risked his life to get this money. Of course, Hua Zhongxiong was embarrassed to ask for it. Therefore, he tried to think of a way. In the end, he made up his mind and said that he would go to the casino to try his luck. He would stop as long as he won 200,000 yuan. He only hoped to have the money to save his father, that was all.
Ruan Chao said that it was not reliable, but Hua Zhongxiong insisted. Ruan Chao was worried and went with him to the underground casino.
It was unknown if Hua Zhongxiong's luck was good or if the casino was deliberately going easy on him, but he won 90,000 yuan in one go! As long as he won another 10,000 yuan, he would be able to gather 200,000 yuan to treat his father's illness. But unfortunately, Hua Zhongxiong began to lose. He lost every time.
Seeing that the money he won was decreasing, Hua Zhongxiong became more and more anxious. He regretted not leaving after winning 90,000 yuan. He wanted to win it back, but the more he did so, the more he lost. In the end, he lost all the 90,000 yuan he won. He began to lose his capital.
100,000 yuan was really not enough to lose. Soon, in just an hour, Hua Zhongxiong became a pauper who lost his family's fortune! At that moment, he really had the urge to strangle himself to death. He really committed suicide. He did not want to live anymore after losing all the money to save his life.
Of course, Ruan Chao could not watch Hua Zhongxiong die. He lent his 100,000 yuan to Hua Zhongxiong. Hua Zhongxiong swore to use this 100,000 yuan to win back all the money.
But in the end, things did not go according to plan. He lost all of Ruan Chao's 100,000 yuan! This time, they were truly in a desperate situation. People in desperate straits could do anything. They already had nothing, so they did not care. The two of them came up with a plan and decided to wait until there were fewer people in the casino to snatch back their 200,000 yuan.
For this, Hua Zhongxiong even used the last ten yuan in his pocket to buy a fruit knife.
The two of them took action that day. After all the guests in the casino left, the two of them went in to carry out the robbery. Everything went smoothly in the beginning. When the people in the casino saw someone robbing with a knife, they obediently gave them 200,000 yuan in cash.
But after all, those who opened casinos were not people to be trifled with. Everything was not as simple as they thought. They took the money and did not even run 500 meters before they were surrounded by a group of people with machetes. The two of them were no match for them.
At that time, Hua Zhongxiong was afraid and worried about losing the 200,000 yuan. In the end, when Ruan Chao was injured and stopped, he did not choose to stay. He was afraid of death, so he fled with the money. He only remembered Ruan Chao's helpless gaze. Every time he thought of it, he would lose sleep.
Every time he saw people fighting outside, he would think of that scene. That scene had been tormenting him. After so long, he still couldn't forgive himself for his actions. Perhaps if he had left the money, the other party would have spared his and Ruan Chao's lives. But he did not do so. He made the decision to escape alone. He hated himself for being shameless and dirty.
"Did you see Ruan Chao being hacked to death by them with your own eyes?" Xu Yun asked.
Hua Zhongxiong shook his head. "No, but I'm sure they did it … Because they all had knives, such long machetes! They chopped Ruan Chao's head fiercely. A normal person wouldn't be able to survive. It's impossible … They killed someone, but I didn't dare to say anything. For myself, for this money, I gave up … another life. "
After hearing his second brother's story, Hua Xiaoxiong was also heartbroken. No one could bear this kind of mental self-blame. He finally understood why his second brother had been hiding at home for so many years. If it were him, he wouldn't know what to do either.
"No, you did it to save your father's life." Xu Yun said calmly, "Hua Zhongxiong, although what you did was not manly at all, you had your reasons. It would be very difficult for anyone to make such a decision. I understand you. You don't have to blame yourself anymore. "
"You understand me?" Hua Zhongxiong had been hoping to hear someone say that to him all these years! His eyes shimmered. "Is what you said true?"
