"Brother, I can't, I don't want to die, my crime is too great, even if I turn myself in, the court will definitely sentence me to death. Brother, you have to save me, you have to save me, you have to save me, you have to take care of me from now on, you can't not save me now!" Zheng Xiaohu was almost howling and shouting out loud.
Jiang Cheng shook his head. He squatted down and pressed Zheng Xiaohu's head. He said, "Zheng Xiaohu, it's not that I don't want to save you. I want you to surrender yourself. I'm saving you. Do you know that the people from the Public Security Bureau came to me today? They put a lot of evidence of your crime in front of me. They want me to cooperate with them to investigate you. I can't hide it from you. I don't want you to die, but I can't let you escape because I will feel guilty.
Xiaohu, you have to pay the price for doing something wrong. This is an unchanging truth. Don't worry. When you go in, I will definitely find a way to exempt you from the death penalty. Be good and come with me to the Public Security Bureau now! "
"I don't want to go. I don't want to die. Do you want me to die? Are you still my brother? I don't have a brother like you. You actually want your brother to die. I know what I did. The powder I sold is enough for me to be shot a hundred times. I won't surrender myself. I won't go!"
Zheng Xiaohu howled and ran out. Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't chase after him. Zheng Xiaohu must bear the consequences of his choice.
Today, he had already revealed a lot of secrets that shouldn't have been revealed. Originally, Zheng Xiaohu didn't know that the police were investigating him. But after what he said, Jiang Cheng could believe that the time for the police to close the net was coming.
Jiang Cheng walked out of the billiard hall in annoyance. He went home alone. When he got home, he locked himself in the room. It wasn't until Mino called him for dinner that Jiang Cheng came out.
Mino saw that Jiang Cheng was in a bad mood, but she didn't ask much. She knew that if Jiang Cheng wanted to tell her, he would tell her without asking.
At night, Jiang Cheng tossed and turned on the bed. He couldn't fall asleep. Mino looked at him and couldn't help it. She turned over and looked at him face to face. She asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Nothing. Go to sleep!"
Since Jiang Cheng was unwilling to say, Mi Nuo did not dare to ask anymore. She lay down and turned off the table lamp, plunging the room into darkness.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Cheng turned on the lamp and asked Mino, "Wife, do you think I've done a lot of wrong things?"
Mino had been waiting for Jiang Cheng to speak. She hadn't fallen asleep at all. As soon as Jiang Cheng asked, she replied, "Yes, you've done too many bad things. I can't even count them all. Tell me, what bad things have you done recently?"
"It's not me. It's Xiaohu. Something happened to him. Do you remember that a policeman came to me in the afternoon? She showed me some evidence of Xiaohu's crimes. After I finished reading it, I was stunned. I never thought that my brother, who went through fire and water with me, had fallen. He opened a lot of bars, KTVs, and other entertainment places. Today, the policeman told me that Xiaohu was selling drugs crazily in his places. "
"Ah, selling drugs?" Mino was so shocked that she jumped out of the bed and looked at her husband with a surprised look.
Jiang Cheng nodded, "Yes, I didn't believe it either. But the truth is in front of me. I have no choice but to believe it. I never thought that Xiaohu, such a kind child, would take drugs. Not only did he do it himself, but he also led others to do it. He even sold them. Does money really make people fall?"
"I don't know about others, but I know you. Even if you don't have money, you will still fall. You will be killed by your luck with women!"
"Stop fooling around. I'm serious. I went to see Xiaohu today. I can see that he is really committing crimes. But I can't stop him. What should I do?"
Mino clapped her hands, "What else can you do? Forget it. Actually, you don't have to blame yourself too much. I've met Xiaohu many times. You want me to tell you the truth? He has poor self-control, far worse than you. But your success made him Tengda. Now that he has money, he begins to enjoy this world of sensual pleasures.
In the past six months, he has never called me, his sister-in-law, to ask about me even once. He also didn't come to see your parents. I heard from Zhang Jian and your subordinate, Xiao Bai, that this guy has a very fierce reputation in the underworld. People call him Brother Hu.
He really kills without blinking an eye. I often see murder cases in Jiangnan City on the news. At that time, I thought, in the underworld of Jiangnan City, aren't you the most powerful? Isn't it because you are the blackest?
But Zheng Xiaohu is even blacker than you. Many people say that he is a cruel and merciless person. But fortunately, I don't have any contact with him, nor do I have any business contact with him. He does his entertainment business, and I do my real estate business. I mind my own business. "
Jiang Cheng nodded, "But as far as I know, since I left, all my business has been taken over by him. No one else is qualified at all. He is the person I trust the most. Didn't you give him any business?"
Mino shook her head, "No, I even handed over the sand business that you used to control to others, so I have nothing to do with him. But there is one thing to say. Since he became the boss, no one has come to my construction site to make trouble. You should give him credit for this!"
"Alas, but what should I do about the matter in front of me? I really have no way!"
"If there is no way, let God decide. People have to pay the price for their mistakes. Those who violate the law will be punished by the law. No one can escape. Even if some people can escape the punishment of the law, they can't escape the self-blame of their conscience. Don't you see that many murderers can escape for ten or twenty years after killing people? But during these years, the torment of his conscience is the biggest punishment for him. No one can escape."
Listening to Mino, Jiang Cheng suddenly understood that everyone's behavior was his own. He must be responsible for his own behavior, instead of trying to escape these responsibilities.
"Well, since it has come to this, it is useless to think more. I don't care anymore. It depends on his own luck!"
.....
Early the next morning, Jiang Cheng took a lot of gifts and put them in the car. Today was the second day of the Chinese New Year. According to the custom, Jiang Cheng must take his new wife to the countryside to visit his uncles for the new year.
Because Mino was pregnant for nine months and was about to give birth, for safety reasons, Jiang Cheng did not take Mino with him. Instead, he drove alone.
Before he left, his mother reminded Jiang Cheng again and again, "When you get there, don't give them a hard time. No matter what, they are still your uncles. When you got married, they also attended the wedding banquet and gave you such a big red envelope. Just because of this, you still have to leave as a relative!"
"Isn't it because our family is rich now? If it was in the past, do you think they would come?" Jiang Cheng said disdainfully.
"You brat, why are you so stubborn? After all, we are relatives. You have to think about our family. When I am 100 years old, you still have to visit them for the new year. When your uncles are 100 years old, you and your cousins won't have much contact. At that time, you can go if you want. If you don't want to go, I won't say anything. Anyway, I will be in the underworld at that time and can't see you! "
Jiang Cheng frowned. "Mom, what are you talking about? What do you mean by a hundred years? You should at least live until your grandson gets married and has children, and your granddaughter gets married. It's still early. Don't say such discouraging words during the New Year!"
"Ah, okay, okay, don't say discouraging words. Go in peace. If your uncles ask you to stay overnight, you can stay there for one night and drive back tomorrow morning. Anyway, there are not many relatives left. Only a few uncles need to move around. Do you understand?" Hu Xiulan continued to teach her son the ways to visit relatives. She and her husband were old and couldn't visit relatives anymore. In the future, these things would fall on her son sooner or later.
Jiang Cheng couldn't stand his mother's nagging. After putting away all the gifts, he got into the car and ran away.
On the second day of the new year, the weather was still sunny. Jiang Cheng drove on the rural road. Now that the country's economy had improved, the roads in the countryside had all changed. The "cement roads" that used to be composed of water and mud had become modern cement roads.
The roads were clean and tidy. Today, Jiang Cheng was still driving the BMW M6 that Mino bought for him. The back seat was full of gifts. The gifts were divided into three portions, all for his three uncles, one for each family.
In addition, Jiang Cheng also prepared more than a dozen red envelopes. These were prepared by Mino. Mino told him that when visiting relatives and friends, he should at least show some kindness when he saw children. There was not much money in the red envelopes. They were all 200 yuan, but there were three big red envelopes that were extra.
These three red envelopes were for his three uncles. Mino put 1,000 yuan in each of them as a meeting gift for the three uncles.
The second day of the new year was the day to visit relatives and friends. Many people from the city went to the countryside to visit relatives, and many people from the countryside visited each other. Nowadays, many people in the countryside also bought cars. So when Jiang Cheng was driving halfway, he was stuck on the road.
He was stuck in a town market 15 miles away from his uncle's house. This market happened to be the market that Jiang Cheng passed by last time when he came to deliver the invitation.
Last time, Jiang Cheng still remembered that Mino's bag was robbed here. As a result, the local police took half a day to find it. At that time, he still remembered that Township Head Jiang wanted to ask Jiang Cheng to invest, but he was rejected by Jiang Cheng.
Today was the second day of the new year. It was the day of the market. The whole street was bustling. The cars were stuck in the crowd and couldn't move at all.
Usually, there were already a lot of people. During the New Year, migrant workers returned home. A large number of young men and women went home for the New Year, which led to more people on the street.
