I don't know why I asked Liu Jihong that. In fact, I never suspected that Zhou Jin was involved in Gao Liao's death.

Later, thinking back to that moment, it was probably because he loved that man too much and didn't want him to take the title of murderer. Although it was a mistake made when he was young, it was still a mistake.

It was just like how Gao Kan himself, when he saw that he was unrelated to Li Ao and that Gao Liao only looked similar to him, had lost control of his emotions and toyed with him.

Liu Jihong was complaining and crying non-stop, but when she heard my sudden question, she suddenly shut her mouth, staring at me with her red and swollen eyes for dozens of seconds, before forcing out a sentence from between her teeth: "Who the f * ck is speaking nonsense! My son, my son is too muddle-headed. When has he ever run into someone and killed them? Not my son, it has nothing to do with him. That thing has nothing to do with him, I tell you, it has nothing to do with him! "Not at all!"

The way she grinds her teeth, as though she's been wronged, makes me feel like I'm going too far.

My husband just died, so why do I have to be so mean and ask his son if he's a murderer?

I thought I was about to apologize and comfort her when I heard a strange, familiar thud behind us.

I made two combat movies this year, so I was very familiar with this sound. I subconsciously thought that it was a gunshot.

But behind us is the cemetery, where the sons of the Zhou family are doing their final work.

"My son finally has this day, I can't let any of you destroy him, I definitely won't allow my son to be destroyed like this!"

Liu Jihong, who was desperately saying that his son was not a murderer, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

We both looked at the back of the car.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the windows were covered with strange, rugged patterns.

He could vaguely see seven or eight men in black suits running in the same direction as the actors in the movie who had hit their prey.

I was amazed at how hard I ran.

Originally, he wanted to follow us to the carriage. He said that there was someone important he wanted to chat with, so he let Liu Jihong and I get on the carriage first.

But I didn't see him among the group of people running away. I looked at Liu Jihong suspiciously, and she looked at me the same way, before she seemed to react and clawed at my leg first, letting out a beast-like moo before her leg gave way and rolled to the ground.

"Fifth Bro —"

Liu Jihong's miserable scream made me break out in cold sweat. She had already used her trembling hands to open the door.

"Auntie, that's impossible, it can't be Zhou Jin."

I said it out loud to her, thinking she was overreacting.

The car door opened, and Liu Jihong stumbled out of the car, running towards the group of men.

She was a plump woman, and because she had raised a demon, she had shrunk into a peanut tree stuck to the ground. These past two years, she had finally blossomed into a fat peanut doll.

His usual walking posture made him look very clumsy, like a robust female bear.

At this moment, I had never seen her run as fast as she did now, twisting her arms and legs in mourning through the rain, throwing herself with all her might at the assembled men.

The grass was slippery, and she fell and got up and ran again.

I held onto an umbrella and got off the car with Liu Jihong, but I didn't run like she did. I only thought that she had just lost her husband that she was relying on and was too sad, so I imagined the sound as a gunshot aimed at my own son.

However, when I accidentally swept a glance at those few men who were acting strangely, I unexpectedly saw Gao Kan, who had already left a long time ago.

He jumped down from another car not far from me, and like Liu Jihong, ran over with unsteady steps.

My heart couldn't help but tremble violently as an ominous premonition descended from the sky like a bolt of lightning, striking me squarely in the face.

Following that, he heard a sorrowful "Fifth Brother, my son" cry out miserably.

It's really Zhou Jin!

The sound of the gunshot echoed in my mind once more. I could smell the ineffable stench of gunpowder in the air that was stirring up the bleak winter rain.

When he wanted to run over to see what was going on, his legs were too weak. He had to grab onto the umbrella to prevent himself from falling onto the wet grass. He just wanted to move again, but his legs wouldn't obey him.

I slowly squat down, my mind blank.

They were shouting out Zhou Jin's name, the scene was a mess, the umbrella was blown away by the wind, and only flowers were placed neatly on the table.

Liu Jihong fainted as he was carried to the carriage.

Separated by the curtain of rain, I saw Gao Kan suddenly changing his direction and running towards me. He ran very fast, his clean shoes were covered in mud, mud and dead grass leaves, and the water on the ground was stepped on by his hurried footsteps, splattering all over me.

Gao Kan wordlessly grabbed my wrist, pulled me up from the ground, and ran back to the place where the group of people were surrounding me.

"I can't do it anymore, I just hit his heart. That person is too close to him, I can't even dodge him."

Someone said this. Then, as if everyone was waiting for me, they automatically opened up a path.

I didn't expect that the last time I saw Zhou Jin, they would actually be in such a manner without any form of farewell.

The rainwater mixed with blood dyed the green grass red.

Zhou Jin was dressed in a brand-new black suit, and was placed in a position where he would be hugged by someone.

Someone had covered him with a transparent plastic raincoat, revealing only his face. His expression was extremely serene, except that his eyes were wide like those of a child curiously gazing at the world.

Staring at this life with infinite nostalgia, he fell in love with it. He intended to begin, but it came to an abrupt end.

He really made people afraid to look.

I turned my face away and buried my face in Gao Kan's arms.

Just five minutes ago, he had sent me a WeChat message saying that he was actually very sad and heartbroken, that he didn't want to see his father, who was as majestic and great as a hero in his memories, fall to the ground and be swallowed into ashes just like that. I had also symbolically comforted him by saying that there would always be a death and that we would also take Uncle's steps, but it was only a matter of time.

He said yes, and asked if I could stay with him tonight.

I said I'd get drunk with you and we'd stop drinking for the last time.

He laughed at me.

How about I bet him I quit?

He said, Never mind, don't quit, you still want to drink my wedding wine, I have a girlfriend, I'll introduce you to her tonight.

Looking at this message, I was shocked, but at that time I was too focused on talking to Chen Kaifeng, so I didn't ask him which family's girl got on his pirate ship.

I didn't expect that they would be separated from me so quickly.

"He's waiting for you." Gao Kan told me that he half carried me and pushed me to Zhou Jin's side.

My body slipped and I fell to my knees.

Gao Kan followed me and squatted down. Then, he took off his raincoat and held my hands, allowing me to close Zhou Jin's eyes that were wide open.
