Chapter 40 Chapter Forty

As Ke Yaping walked into the community, the evening breeze in early summer refreshed the heart, and the twilight was full of people rushing home. The small but definite happiness in daily life was embellished in every eager step.Ke Yaping walked beside Meng Feiyang without saying a word. He glanced at her inadvertently, and found that her unpretentious figure blended so harmoniously with the surrounding environment, conveying a reassuring power, sour and astringent. The taste suddenly filled Meng Feiyang’s throat—there is indeed such a girl in life, and you will never have to worry about her flying to the sky, because she does not have such gorgeous wings as Dai Xi, and her feet are firmly on the gray sky. on the land.

The two silently walked into Ke Zhengyun's new home - a one-and-a-half-bedroom apartment on the third floor of an old-fashioned six-story public house.The house is small, dark, and poorly furnished, but Lao Ke is in high spirits.He enthusiastically pulled Meng Feiyang into the main room. There was a square table in the middle of the room, and a table full of dishes was already set on it. "Come on, Feiyang, we haven't been together for a long time! Today is a rare day..." Ke Zhengyun uncorked the bottle of Great Wall Dry Red and was about to pour the wine. Meng Feiyang was very surprised: "Old Ke, can't you drink wine?"

"Let Yaping drink with you today! Hehe, she also made this table." "Oh..." Meng Feiyang picked up the cup and glanced at Ke Yaping who was sitting on the right.She was uncharacteristically silent today, looking preoccupied. "Old Ke, Yaping, congratulations on moving to your new home!" Meng Feiyang touched Lao Ke's cup of tea, then turned to Ke Yaping, her eyes lit up, and she also raised her glass. Meng Feiyang smiled at her: "Thank you for preparing so many delicious food for me, you have worked hard." Ke Yaping's eyes brightened, she smiled sweetly, lowered her head and took a sip of the wine, and two sunset glows suddenly floated on her face.

Lao Ke and Meng Feiyang chatted about his current business. There were many familiar customers and industry conditions. Get rid of the hopeless thoughts of love and immerse yourself in the joy of ordinary life. Meng Feiyang didn't drink much in the first place, and he became a little drunk after drinking.In the comfortable half-drowsy, he felt Ke Yaping's gentle gaze on his cheek from time to time. "Dad." Ke Yaping called out suddenly. Ke Zhengyun understood, took a black old-fashioned leather bag from the chest of drawers next to him, and solemnly placed it in front of Meng Feiyang.

He cleared his throat: "Cough... Feiyang, here is 350,000 yuan. Return it to you!" Meng Feiyang was startled, and Ke Zhengyun continued: "Feiyang, the money you borrowed at the beginning was equivalent to saving the lives of Yaping and me. Later, you gave up your house to Yaping. We really..." He Before Meng Feiyang could shake his head, he said in a vigorous voice: "Feiyang, I heard from Yaping that you and your girlfriend are having trouble because of our family. Tell me about it... Sigh! We are really sorry. , so no matter what, I will return the money to you as soon as possible. Hehe, Xiaomeng, you should also give your girlfriend an explanation, hurry up and buy a house, so that the girl can rest assured."

Meng Feiyang stared at the bulging black bag in front of him. Ke Zhengyun's words seemed to come from a few kilometers away. Although he could hear it clearly, it was difficult for him to understand the true meaning. He raised his head: "Old Ke, how did you get all this money all of a sudden?" Old Ke's father and daughter exchanged glances, and Ke Zhengyun squeezed out a bleak smile from his face, looking a little hideous under the dim chandelier: "Feiyang, don't worry about how you got it. If you want to pay back your money, there is nothing you can do if you don’t do it well. Feiyang, I’m a retired person in my sixties. Ping, the little girl has committed crimes, she is always dragged down by me and her brother, and she will never have a bright future... Feiyang, I am useless, I really need to trouble you to take care of her in the future."

Meng Feiyang seems to have fallen into a puzzle set by honest people, which is jerky and weird.He was stunned for a while, still not knowing how to respond to Lao Ke's words.He muttered goodbye, and staggered out.Ke Zhengyun pulled him back: "Xiao Meng, Qian!" "Father, look at his current appearance, it's better not to let him take the money." Ke Yaping scolded her father in a low voice, "You collect the money first, and I will send Feiyang away." Walking on the aisle in the center of the community, the evening wind cleared Meng Feiyang's drowsy mind a little.He stopped and turned to Ke Yaping, and she followed him silently just like when she came.

"Yaping, what happened to the money?" Ke Yaping still bowed her head and remained silent. Meng Feiyang turned around and left, but his arm was firmly grasped, so he had to stop again. Ke Yaping's blushing cheeks were as beautiful as flowers under the street lamp, but her eyes were hazy. Meng Feiyang could no longer look at her and had to move away. open eyes. Ke Yaping said: "I... I did a very bad thing." "Bad things?" She spoke in a low voice, struggling to utter every word: "I, I don't know what the consequences will be... I don't even understand it... But, but... He promised me a lot of money, I think..." Ke Yaping suddenly raised her head: "I think I will get the money no matter what, and I must return the money to you!"

Meng Feiyang's mind was blank, he only saw Ke Yaping's eyes that had become too big suddenly appeared on her plain face, half dark and half bright... Meng Feiyang wiped his forehead fiercely, Pressing his chest tightly, he asked: "...Who are you talking about? Who promised to give you the money?" "It's... from West Bund Chemical, that Mr. Zhang..." For a long time, Meng Feiyang was speechless.Dai Xi's suspicion turned out to be true!He couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out anyway, what was going on with all this?And the thin and restrained figure in front of him, and her clear and stream-like expression, is there actually a heart-pounding motive hidden? !

His silence made Ke Yaping unbearable, and she confessed without waiting for him to ask: "Yes, he found me two months ago and said that he knew what I did, did, and did for Kosuke Youchuan... He asked me He didn’t say anything about it, and when I said no, he threatened me, saying that he would disclose these things to the Public Security Bureau and the company…” "He threatened you?!" Meng Feiyang asked incomprehensibly, "Why didn't you tell me?" Ke Yaping didn't seem to hear his question: "But he said, if I can provide him with useful information, not only will he not disclose my affairs, but he can also give me money. I don't know any useful information, He said anything related to West Bank Chemicals is fine, I said I have nothing to do with West Bank Chemicals, he said you have... Later, when I used your computer at your home, I saw those photos and documents..."

She stopped, but Meng Feiyang felt a buzzing in his ears, and it took him a long time to ask bitterly: "Are these things so valuable?" "...I don't understand either. He paid 300,000 yuan to my card." Meng Feiyang sneered: "They gave you so much money to keep it a secret...but why are you telling me now?" Ke Yaping lowered her head again and said nothing. Another gust of cold evening wind blew, instantly drying Meng Feiyang's profuse sweat, and he couldn't help shivering.The street lights were dim, and their figures standing opposite each other were absorbed by the huge darkness of the shade of the trees.Meng Feiyang shook his head. He had nothing to say, so he walked straight to the gate of the community. Ke Yaping did not follow.Meng Feiyang walked along the outer wall of the community in a daze for a while, then turned around suddenly and walked back quickly.Soon they came under the streetlight where they had just talked. Sure enough, she was still here, just curled up into a ball and squatted on the ground, with her head buried in her arms, her shoulders trembling slightly.All that could be seen from above was her upturned ponytail and the brown hair tie.Meng Feiyang immediately recognized this hair tie. She left this hair tie when she took a bath at his house for the first time, and Dai Xi found it that night. Meng Feiyang's defenses suddenly collapsed - Ke Yaping was just such a helpless and fragile little girl, her thin shoulders could not bear the burden of life alone.No matter what she did, her original intention was kind after all, and this kindness was only aimed at him.Meng Feiyang called out in a low voice: "Yaping." Ke Yaping raised her head slowly, her face was smeared with tears.Meng Feiyang stretched out his arms in pity: "Get up, don't cry." He just wanted to help her up, but Ke Yaping looked at him blankly, suddenly grabbed his arm forcefully, and then fell into his arms. Meng Feiyang was a little dazed and instinctively wanted to let her go.But Ke Yaping hugged him fiercely, her slender body was still trembling in his arms, and he heard her whispering with sobs: "Feiyang, Feiyang, please forgive me...I really, really I only want to be for you, for you..." She choked up and couldn't continue, and he couldn't listen anymore. "Yaping, I understand, don't cry." Finally, Meng Feiyang gently pushed Ke Yaping away from his chest, and stroked the messy hair on her forehead, "Go home first, your father should wait." Anxious." Ke Yaping refused to move: "Feiyang, do you still blame me? Do you blame me?" Meng Feiyang smiled bitterly: "Is it useful to blame you?...Okay, Yaping, I will accompany you home." When he walked out of the community again, Meng Feiyang felt exhausted, but his mood was so calm that he was puzzled.The final cause of the quarrel between him and Dai Xi was found, but Meng Feiyang was neither happy nor regretful. It seemed that the undercurrent that had been hiding in the ground finally broke through the ground, which made him feel unexpectedly relieved. It was already past ten o'clock, and when countless taxis with their empty lights on passed by in front of Meng Feiyang, he raised his hand as if awakened from a dream. When the taxi drove to a place not far from Meng Feiyang's home, a text message popped up on his mobile phone, which was sent by Dai Xi.For a whole month, this was the first text message Dai Xi sent to Meng Feiyang, but he was not overjoyed.The pain of longing is still piercing into the atrium like a sharp cone, but another huge fear comes from the sky - Dai Xi, how should I face you in the future? Meng Feiyang hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth before pressing the button. "Feiyang, how are you? The company wants to transfer me to work in the R&D center in Beijing. What's your opinion?" She must have hesitated for a long time before sending a text message in the middle of the night.Until the taxi stopped, Meng Feiyang was still reading it over and over again. My dearest, dearest Xiaoxi... Standing on the deserted street near midnight, Meng Feiyang raised his mobile phone, and printed his affectionate kiss on the screen, on these bright words.The cold metal surface was very different from Dai Xi's warm lips, which made him taste the distance between them more clearly. He typed the reply word by word: "I'm fine, how are you too? The R&D center must be a rare development opportunity, you decide for yourself." After losing, Meng Feiyang watched the clock on the phone beating. For a long, long time, maybe half an hour passed, maybe even longer... He just pressed send. They all seemed numb from exhaustion.He slowly climbed up the second floor like an old man, opened the door and entered the room, and started snoring as soon as he fell on the bed. Two days later in the afternoon, at around five o'clock, Dai Xi received a call from Tong Xiao in the company. "Devil, are you okay recently?" "Barely alive." Dai Xi replied, "What about you? You are still so leisurely. International friends didn't cause you any trouble, did they?" Tong Xiao sighed strangely: "I'm so troublesome! I'm so troubled that I'm about to become mentally ill! Devil, I urgently need your psychological counseling!" "Mental illness can't be cured by psychological counseling. Would you like me to introduce you to a mental hospital? My dad has a relationship and can reserve a bed for you." Tong Xiao laughed: "Dai Xi, before you are admitted to the mental hospital, I must treat you to dinner, how about tonight?" "……Ok." At the window seat of the Thai restaurant, Tong Xiao watched Dai Xi walk in the door. "Wow, female devil, why are you so haggard after not seeing you for a few days!" Dai Xi rolled his eyes at him, sat down with pouted lips and said nothing. Tong Xiao looked at her carefully: "Well... It's not haggard, it's just a little thinner, but it's even more beautiful! A beautiful woman like you is sitting opposite me, I'm under a lot of pressure." "If you talk nonsense again, I'll leave immediately!" "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you!" Tong Xiao sighed secretly, just now he clearly captured Dai Xi's look of anticipation when he came in, and the sadness when he saw him alone. He was straightforward: "Daisy, Meng Feiyang is nothing, I despise him on behalf of myself and the justice of the whole world!" Dai Xi chuckled: "Why is he not a thing?" "Uh..." Tong Xiao was stunned for a while, "It's not a thing for me to treat you to dinner alone! If he is here, I don't have to pay for it!" "Is he busy... If you don't want to pay, I'll pay." Dai Xi replied softly. Seeing her light and rolling eyes nowhere to fall, Tong Xiao couldn't bear it, and hurriedly patted the table: "It's okay, I'll pay you." Please just me, female devil, you have dinner with me tonight, don't talk about Meng Feiyang!" "Okay." Dai Xiyan obeyed, "Then what shall we talk about?" It's so smart!But Tong Xiao didn't admire aloud, he didn't want to appear too frivolous from now on, because today they are going to talk about a very serious topic, related to life and death, good and evil, and the mystery of love that can never be solved. What Tong Xiao brought to Dai Xi was the latest investigation progress on Zhou Feng's car accident. "Dai Xi, the president Li of your company is not in China, is he?" "Former president." Dai Xi corrected Tong Xiao calmly, but the pain and anxiety in her voice suddenly gathered.As soon as Tong Xiao pondered, she couldn't bear it any longer, and asked timidly, "Tong Xiao, does the case really have anything to do with him?" "Of course there is." Tong Xiao still wanted to show off, but Dai Xi's instantly pale face startled him, and he quickly explained, "Oh, it's not a direct relationship!" "What's the relationship?!...Can you tell me?" Tong Xiao had mixed feelings in his heart. When Meng Feiyang knew that Tong Xiao had the latest progress in the investigation of Zhou Feng's case, he asked Tong Xiao to tell Dai Xi about the situation.From Meng Feiyang, Tong Xiao could feel his deep love for Dai Xi, but he wanted to avoid seeing her. Although Tong Xiao didn't have such experience, he could understand Meng Feiyang. Perhaps, this is the mystery of love that makes people linger in dreams and never change in life and death. Tong Xiao felt that he had the responsibility to comfort Dai Xi, because he was entrusted by a friend... So he smiled kindly at Dai Xi: "Well, the latest situation is that Zhou Feng's wife, Song Yindi, admitted to the police that she poisoned Zhou Feng and intentionally murdered her husband." "What?!" Dai Xi was startled. "Hehe, don't be afraid." Tong Xiao shrugged, "Murdering a husband for a lover, this kind of thing has happened in ancient times, and it's not new." The police launched an investigation at Song Yindi's home, and after only a few days, she completely collapsed and confessed everything.According to her claim, on the morning of the accident, she had finished breakfast with Zhou Feng as usual, poured a pot of tea and sent him out.But during that usual breakfast consisting of deep-fried dough sticks and steamed buns, Song Yindi secretly dropped five sleeping pills into the soy milk. She didn't dare to put more, for fear that Zhou Feng would taste something different, but she knew very well that this According to the effect of the medicine, five pills were enough to make Zhou Feng lose consciousness. Song Yindi confessed that, apart from going to her home to have sex with her, Li Weilian would occasionally take her to the Ascott Hotel apartment where he lived.Although he never stayed overnight at Zhou Feng's house, he would let her stay in Ascott, so Song Yindi had the opportunity to see Li Weilian's taking sleeping pills, and took some without telling him. She had been planning this action for half a year, during which time she had pondered over and over again, unable to make a decision.Until that morning, she finally made up her mind.Not long after Zhou Feng went out, she called Li Weilian's apartment. She could not accurately determine the time of Zhou Feng's drug onset, but she had to make sure that Li Weilian would not be in Zhou Feng's car, because it was Zhou Feng who she wanted to kill. Feng, definitely not Li Weilian. Li Wei connected the phone, but said that someone from the company came to talk to him, and he had asked Zhou Feng to drive the car back to the company.Song Yindi was relieved now, and she just had to wait for the bad news to come. She believed that her plan was safe and she was full of confidence in Zhou Feng's death. "She, why did she do this?" Dai Xi was shocked, scared and confused. Tong Xiao curled her lips: "Well, she said it was because of Li Weilian." Any normal person can conclude that Song Yindi's reasons are absurd and shameless without the intelligence of a criminal policeman. For a woman with a small culture and a simple mind, what she did was to follow the most authentic human nature, but the test given to her by fate was too complicated and too sharp.
