The car continued to drive in the dark, and neither of them spoke again. In the silence, they had their own thoughts.
The trees and the neon lights moved back quickly, just like time.
When I got to the place, I stopped the car, but Li Xiaowei didn't get off immediately. Her face was heavy and troubled, and she wanted to say something.
I waited for her quietly.
"Xing Yun." After a while, Li Xiaowei finally couldn't help but say, "Can you help me persuade Xiaohu again? He has such a good relationship with you that he tells you everything. He's not only hurting me and Li Dong, he's also hurting so many families."
I was silent, looking at the leaves blown by the wind in the rearview mirror.
"I know you don't believe me, but Xiaohu is no longer the Xiaohu he used to be. He has become very strange, not like the Xiaohu I know."
Li Xiaowei opened the car door and said softly, "It was me who caused him to be like this."
This sentence made me feel an unspeakable pain.
After Li Xiaowei left, I drove back quickly.
However, Li Xiaowei was able to pretend to be calm when he was here, but now his heart was in a mess.
There were so many doubts and worries in my heart that a strong sense of oppression rushed at me.
I really couldn't calm down and drive. After a few minutes, I parked my car in a parking space on the side of the road, and then stayed alone in the dark car, my mind pounding with Li Xiaowei's information.
I put my seat back and lay there, wiping my face with my hands.
Looking out the window, from my angle, I could see the moon in the sky. The moon was cold and aloof, looking at this world as if I had seen through it.
The moon is cloudy and the moon is round. People have joys and sorrows.
The eternal performance did not end.
But can this world really be seen through?
People in this world, complicated human nature, even the closest people may not be able to see through it, not to mention the sun and moon that are so far away from us.
The sun cannot illuminate the whole world, and the moon's light will be swallowed up by the night.
I narrowed my eyes, the night outside the window became blurry, and my heart was inexplicably blurred.
I took a few deep breaths and calmed down a little. I started trying to analyze Li Xiaowei's words.
No matter what, I can't believe or refuse to believe that Hu Zi set the fire, or that Hu Zi asked someone to do it.
I don't believe it!
It was burns to dozens of people, and one of them even died!
What an unscrupulous person would have to do such a cold-blooded and cruel thing!
But why did Li Xiaowei lie? She really didn't have any reason to lie, or I couldn't find any reason at the moment.
Once, Hu Zi told me more than once that he wanted revenge!
So, is it really as Li Xiaowei said, that he is now in charge of the life and death of Rainbow square?
This is unbelievable!
A year ago, he was just a handful of small Pucheng restaurant owners. Now, although he managed a Yu xiangyuan, how could he have so much ability to hold Rainbow square's throat?
Li Xiaowei said that Hu Zi and a rich woman were not clear, or even directly said that they were lovers, but Hu Zi now has a girlfriend, will he betray her behind Du Ling's back?
I smiled bitterly. Of course it was possible. Hu Zi had a criminal record, and he told me himself that his view of love had been distorted, so it was not surprising that he betrayed Du Ling.
But I've never heard Hu Zi mention this rich woman, and I've never seen anyone like this around Hu Zi.
But... As I told Li Xiaowei, Hu Zi rarely went to the Xingyun hotel, and although I have been to the Yu xiangyuan many times, I have to say that these days when I met Hu Zi, he was still very rare, so I really don't know who he usually contacted.
Even the two chen and Peng Boss last time, I have no idea who they are.
It was futile to speculate now. After all, Li Xiaowei had heard the news from others.
I think if we want to find out the truth, we just need to know the relationship between Hu Zi and this rich woman.
If he really is not clear about this rich woman, I really don't believe that this is all a coincidence, he has nothing to do with the crisis in Rainbow square!
But I don't know why, but I don't have confidence in my heart. It's more a kind of anxiety and fear. I'm afraid that the truth of the matter is different from what I think.
Hu Zi's current social circle...
Hu Zi told Du Ling to finish this time...
Hu Zi lent ji ze two million yuan...
Li Xiaowei said that only you can save Rainbow square now...
Hu Zi said he was going to sleep with me, so I let you go...
Hu Zi said Li Xiaowei, you can go. I didn't set the fire in Rainbow square, and the fact that it was going to be destroyed can't be stopped by anyone...
Hu Zi, he's a brother I've known for more than 20 years. I should have believed him, but... I clenched my fist and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
I felt like I was in a fog, but I didn't want to walk out so quickly.
I started thinking, what should I do?
Hu Zi denied that he set the fire, and even if I asked him in person, I'm afraid it would be the same answer as Li Xiaowei.
Lying in the car for more than half an hour, I couldn't think of anything.
The ringtone of the phone brought me back to my senses. It was Old Gao. He asked me why Li Xiaowei was so angry with Hu Zi. I don't know what to say to Old Gao, but I don't want to tell anyone about it for the time being. I'm afraid my suspicions about what our friends are talking about hurt Hu Zi.
I lied casually and kept it a secret.
Hanging up the phone, I went to the contact again and found Hu Zi's number. I hesitated and didn't know if I should make the call or what I should say.
After thinking about it, I finally called Hu Zi.
"Hello." Hu Zi's voice was a little low.
"Are you okay, Hu Zi?"
"Nothing."
"That's good." I smiled.
After saying this, I didn't say anything. I wanted Hu Zi to say something to me, but he didn't. He chatted a little more and hung up.
But I think it's necessary for me to talk to Hu Zi again. From what he said, I think he should know something. Whether it's related to him or not, let's talk to him later.
After a while in the car, I went back.
...
When she got home, Du Ling was on the phone. She didn't know who she was calling. She seemed very happy.
Looking at her figure, she thought that she was now Hu Zi's girlfriend. Yes, she was Hu Zi's girlfriend.
But sometimes she would always ignore her identity, because she and Hu Zi are not like ordinary couples, from the normal life, you can see Du Ling's confusion and loneliness because of this relationship, but she is not angry with Hu Zi, in her relationship with Hu Zi, she is always in a very weak and inferiority complex.
I really don't know how to describe this relationship between her and Hu Zi.
I was thinking that if Hu Zi really didn't know about a rich woman, he would hurt another girl.
I sat on the sofa, exhausted.
After a while, Du Ling also finished the call with a smile on his face.
"What are you so happy about?" I asked.
"It's my brother. He did very well in this exam. He's much better than before."
"Really? It's really good news. I haven't let you down."
Du Ling nodded happily with a look of relief on her face. She said, "I hope she can get into a good university by then."
Speaking of this, there was some regret on Du Ling's face. Like Lin Ya, she had a poor family, which made it an extravagant hope to go to college.
I said to Du Ling, "Du Ling, do you know? There is a kind of adult self-taught examination. If you want to get a college diploma, you can also choose to take the self-taught examination."
Du Ling smiled and replied, "I know, but I don't want to take the exam now."
"Why not take the exam?"
"I'm not in the mood now, and I don't have that much energy to study. It's better to look at my brother. As for me, I'll talk about it later when I want to take the exam."
I nodded and talked to Du Ling for a while before she called her mother again.
I casually ordered some noodles to eat.
Then I knocked on the opposite door, but no one opened the door, and none of them were home. Ding Ge went out with a few new friends and probably hasn't come back yet. Lin Ya and Tang Manya don't know where to play.
I was lying in bed alone, a little bored, but I didn't want to go out for a walk, so I had to lie there in a daze and think about it.
Then I went online to read the news about the fire in Rainbow square. There was a lot of discussion in the Pucheng post bar, but there was nothing useful.
After a long time, I realized that it was already very late. Ding Ge hadn't come back yet?
I think she'll tell me when she comes back. I didn't call her before, just to avoid disturbing her, but it's already past ten, so I should be back.
I was a little worried about her, so I called her.
Fortunately, Ding Ge got through, but there was some noise over there.
I smiled and asked, "Aren't you coming back yet?"
"You go to sleep first. Don't wait for me. We're having a good time. I haven't been out for a long time."
"Look at you. It's like you're not allowed out. You're usually fine." I was relieved to hear that Ding Ge was fine.
Ding Ge smiled.
I asked again, "What kind of friends do you know? They are so energetic that they don't go home to sleep at night. You won't practice driving tomorrow?"
"All right, don't worry about it. We'll be back soon. I didn't rush you when you went out to play."
I couldn't refute it with my mouth open. Ding Ge was right. She always gave me face outside.
I had to tell her to be safe again and ask her to call me if she needed me to pick her up.
Ding Ge replied, "I see. You should go to bed early tonight. I won't tell you when I'm late."
At this moment, it seemed that someone was calling dinger, and Ding Ge said," ah, okay. I'll hang up first.
After hanging up the phone and going through another period of boredom, I gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, I woke up on time, ready to wake Ding Ge up and send her to driving school.
Knocking on the opposite door, Lin Ya opened it. She was brushing her teeth. I asked her, "Is dinger up?"
"Ding Ge didn't come back last night." Although Lin Ya was brushing her teeth, I still heard her clearly.
"What, she didn't come back last night?"
