Chapter 7 Chapter 7

"My eyebrow, my eyebrow, are you in the house?" If Huan Mei met a savior, he immediately stood up. Nie Shangshang took off his wet raincoat, "I'm looking for you, I just heard about Huan Hui." Huanmei lowered his head. "Come, let me serve you." "Slow down, upstream." "Do you have something to say?" "yes." "I am listening." Huan Mei sighed, looking like a wounded beast, she was stunned for a while before she could speak: "When I was very young, Huan Hui threw my beloved doll to the ground and broke through my face, I felt , This is the worst thing in the world, so I put everything aside and cried bitterly for several days. When I was a girl, because my boyfriend abandoned me, I felt like I was cut by a knife. The pain was unbearable, so I thought, this is obviously more terrible than death. After that, after a long period of loneliness and emptiness, no matter how many people are around, no matter how lively the scene is, I still feel tasteless and lonely." Huan Mei cried.

Nie You handed her a handkerchief. His eyes fell on the phone, and he noticed that the small red light kept blinking, indicating that he had a message waiting to be answered. Nie Shang remained calm. Huan Mei whimpered and said: "Now I know that those trivial things are worthless compared to today, I really don't think I can survive this time." "Browbeans, what you think is serious is commonplace in society, please cheer up," he pulled out the phone socket, "I made lobster soup, let's talk about it after eating." Nie Jun went to the kitchen, closed the door gently, installed the phone, pressed the switch, and listened to the message.

"Yi Zhen, please call the headquarters, it's urgent." Nie Shangyou immediately dialed the phone number, a series of fourteen numbers. The phone was connected, and he reported his name: "Yi Zhennie Shangshang." After a few orders over there, Nie Youyou, who had always been calm, was suddenly shocked, and his face was terrified. His face was cloudy and uncertain, and it took a while before he could answer in a cold tone: "Yi Zhen repeated the message: Huan Xingbo, Huanhui and his son, the time here is 0230 on the 29th of tomorrow, and the route will remain as usual."

He slowly put down the receiver and unplugged it again. At this time, he had already recovered his normal expression, heated up a bowl of lobster soup, took it out, and asked Huanmei to drink it to warm up. Huanmei said softly, "It's fortunate to have you." Nie Youyou suddenly turned his head, "What's my value?" He held Huanmei's hand, one day, she would regret having known him. After a while he said, "Do you want to watch the noon news?" "Then I'll avoid it for a while." "Browbeans." "Don't tell me to face reality, I'm not ready."

"Then everybody don't watch." Huan Mei asked, "When will Huan Hui go home?" Nie Youyou replied: "Deng Zongping has been with him all the time, and he will definitely come out in the afternoon." She nodded. Nie Jun probed over, "Why don't you lie on my bed for a while, or go up to the rooftop to see the scenery?" "I can't sleep and I can't walk." "If you can't sleep, there's nothing you can do. If you can't walk, I'll carry you on your back." He really walked up to the rooftop with his eunuch on his back, and his steps were steady and reliable.

Huan Mei thought blankly, it's a pity that the two of them didn't go to a place farther away from the rooftop. The rain has stopped, but the fog has not dissipated, and the air is cold. Nie Youyou brushed her hair back and let her lean against him. The stray cat came again, meowing cautiously. Huan Mei said softly, "I envy you." Nie Jun laughed: "Man is the most difficult thing to do among all things in the world." Huanmei returned home earlier than her brother. Evening News was waiting for her on the coffee table earlier. There was a huge color photo of Yeh Katie on the entertainment page. Katie told the reporter that Huan Hui was just her ordinary friend, she didn't know him well, before the incident happened, she hadn't seen him for a long time, and Huan Jun was already engaged.

The audio recording must be recorded if it is heard, and it is completely ignored. After reading the news freely, there is no expression at all, which is even more commendable. The lawyer came back with Huan Hui, and they would go into the secret room to discuss with Huan Xingbo. Deng Zongping approached Huanmei, "Meidou, let's find a place to talk." Huan Mei looked at him, "Thank you for your efforts for us." "I didn't do anything." "I want you to defend them." Deng Zongping said: "Jun Long has a whole team of barristers." "With your participation, both mother and I feel more at ease."

Deng Zongping let out a sigh of relief, but he still wanted to speak. Huanmei said, "What difficulties do you have?" They sat down in the reception room, silently and relatively speechless. Deng Zongping felt that it was really an unlucky room, every time he sat here, unpleasant things happened, the last time he came here was to break up with Huanmei. All he could say was, "It's almost Chinese New Year." "Year? Oh yes." Huan Mei lowered his head. "The white paper will be published in March, when the issue of direct elections will be clarified."

Huan Mei said softly: "Forgive me, I don't care about these things." Her heart was in a mess, her body was like soup, and the whole city sinking to the bottom of the sea at this moment could not make her more distressed than it is now. "I understand." Deng Zongping said. "You really understand my wishes?" Deng Zongping suddenly said: "Young Eyebrow, after this matter is over, let us get married." Huan Mei heard it clearly, and couldn't help laughing, "Zong Ping, you don't seem like a fun-loving person." "Browbeans—"

Huanmei waved his hand, "I know you are the most righteous and brave, but why sacrifice your life to prove this? At this point, you have not abandoned the eunuch's family, and you are still our friend, I am satisfied. " "You are too suspicious." "Do you sympathize with me, Zong Ping? Because of your pity for me, the little fire of love in the past has ignited again." "No, Eyebrow, give me a chance to speak." Huan Mei put a finger on his lips, "It's strange, you are articulate only in court, and you have always been articulate in life."

Deng Zongping said: "I heard that you found someone else." "It's useless to anyone. In three or two years, the eunuch's family will have to fight, and there will be no weddings." "My eyebrows, I feel sorry for you." "I'm lucky that I still have friends." "You can rest assured that I will always be here." The servant hurried in, "Miss, madam is looking for someone." Huan Mei ran up and saw her mother struggling to get out of bed, stretching out her arms, like a helpless baby, Huan Mei hugged her tightly, only heard her ask: "Has Maodou come back?" "He's downstairs with his father." "Don't blame him." "Won't." "Brown, don't leave me." Huanmei stayed with her mother's dormitory until dawn.She sat dryly in an easy chair, did nothing, stared at a small antique wall clock, watching the time pass by every minute and every second. When dawn came, Mrs. Huan was lying on the bed, half asleep, occasionally talking in her sleep, always saying: "Has Maodou come back?" Maodou gently pushed open the door, just after hearing these words, the siblings embraced each other and wept. "Brown Dou, come here," he pulled his sister into the room and lowered his voice, "I want you to listen carefully." The two of them squatted in a corner of the room, sitting on the floor. Huanmei remembered that when they were children, the siblings often avoided discussing trivial, ridiculous things, such as discussing nervously and solemnly how to ask their father for forgiveness for a failed test. Huan Hui: "Brow Dou, my father and I have decided to leave this city." Huanmei opened his mouth wide and stared at his brother. "You have to keep it a secret and take good care of your mother." Huan Mei was dizzy for a while, "Where are you going?" "I still do not know yet." "Huanhui, your travel documents have been confiscated." "You don't mind that." "Huan Hui, are you going to jump bail and abscond with your father?" He didn't speak, and looked at his sister with hollow red eyes. "I don't agree, Maodou, you can't make the same mistake again and again. The legal point of this case is very problematic and needs to be debated in the inner court." She hugged Huan Hui tightly, "Don't go, don't leave my mother and me." "My eyebrows, this is what my father meant." "No, I'll go down and talk to him." "He didn't want to see you, he wasn't going to tell you about it at all, we were going to walk away." "Modou, the earth is only a tiny bit bigger, where do you want to hide?" "There's always room for us." "Not necessarily, Maodou! Convince father to stay and face reality." "No, father refuses this humiliation." The eunuch wept anxiously. "I regret telling you, it looks like you can't keep a secret." "What about freedom, you let her go?" "I make my own claims." "Huanhui, when are you leaving and where are you going?" "Leave the details alone, let's talk goodbye now." "Modou, once you leave, you may never come back." Huan Hui closed his eyes, his facial muscles twisted and twitched involuntarily. "Madou, they will want you, have you ever thought about it, do you really think you can hide for a lifetime?" "It's too late, Eyebrow, don't talk too much, come here and let me see you clearly." Eunmei wailed loudly. "Shh, shhh, don't do this, watch out for your eyeballs to fall out." For more than 20 years, everything that Huan Mei was proud of had abandoned her, slipped through her fingers, and could not be grasped or kept. The next night, the family ate at the same table. Huan Xingbo sits at the head and distributes rich dishes in front of his wife and daughter-in-law. He was silent and composed. This is clearly the last supper. How much Huanmei hoped that he would change his mind, stay and fight this battle bravely, get justice, and seek innocence. But during the meal, Huan Xingbo didn't say a word. The full food in front of everyone did not move, and no one even picked up their chopsticks. After sitting for more than half an hour, Mrs. Huan felt tired first, so she stood up gently, and the dinner ended like this. Huan Xingbo waved to his daughter. Eunmei went to serve him. He stared at his daughter for a long time without saying a word, turned his head away for a while, nodded to his wife, and went back to the dormitory alone. Huanmei knew that his father must be leaving tonight. She has become numb and does not know how to think. Of course, she could inform Deng Zongping, inform relevant parties, and keep her father and brother in this city, but she couldn't. I could only hear Mrs. Huan talking to herself: "It's almost New Year's Eve, and I haven't prepared anything yet. Alas, before you know it, it has been almost a year since you came back. Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle." Huan Mei and Zi Zi listened blankly. Mrs. Huan continued: "I remember that peony flowers should be ordered early, freedom, you keep these in mind, in the future, it is all your business." Liberty answered in a low voice: "Yes." Mrs. Huan said, "I feel so tired." She rested her head on her hands, her face was full of confusion, like a lost child who had been walking and playing for decades, suddenly felt lonely and wanted to go back to her hometown, but couldn't find her way back. Liberty helped her upstairs to rest. Huanmei went to the garden to smoke. She no longer has the leisure time to watch the stars, she was in a daze just now, when she heard a rustle behind her, she turned her head and saw that it was the old driver at home.Huan Mei was surprised, he also came to the back garden to feel sad! The old driver's team found him and had to bite the bullet and show up. He said: "I feel sorry for the master. In my eyes, he is obviously a good man, and he treats his servants very generously." One sentence touched the eunuch's mind, "Are you old?" "Fifty-five." "Same age as my father." The old driver was going to say: How can we compare with Mr. Huan, but suddenly remembered Huan's situation at the moment, and swallowed the words abruptly. I could only hear Huanmei continue: "I remember you have two children." "A man and a woman have children of their own." "I still remember that they were the same age as my brother and sister." The driver replied: "Miss, you have a good memory." "Are they happy?" "Tory, I'm doing well. I'm always told to retire. My son runs a small business and runs a small printing shop. My daughter has always been a registered nurse." The tone reveals a contented and comfortable tone. "How's your stock?" He was a little embarrassed, "My daughter saw me nagging all day long, she couldn't stand it, she asked me how much I lost, and gave me a subsidy, and told me not to play again." "Oh." Huan Mei was in a daze. Look, seeing how capable his daughter is, she can save her father from suffering with a single gesture, what can Huanmei do for Huan Xingbo? Seeing her dull expression, the old driver stopped talking and backed away embarrassingly. Not long after, Freedom approached slowly and sat beside Huanmei. "Mother asleep?" Nod freely. It's not that there are no girls who have enjoyed happiness with Huanhui, but it's not Ai Ziyou. "Where's Huan Hui?" Liberty replied calmly: "I'm cleaning up the things." Huan Mei was startled, "You know?" "He told me this morning." She looks the same! "He says you already know, but I don't see a clue." "Aren't you afraid? Still waiting for him without hesitation?" "He said he would send someone to pick me up when he settled down." "Living as a fugitive with him?" "What are you afraid of? I don't know how many black market illegal residents there are in the huge North America." "But you have to leave your hometown, maybe you won't see your loved ones face to face for the rest of your life." Freedom answered calmly: "My parents have passed away long ago." Huan Mei had to admit, "Huan Hui still has a little bit of luck." "What about you, you and Lawyer Deng can start from scratch?" Huan Mei lowered his head and said bitterly: "It was the biggest misunderstanding in this century between me and him." Li Zi raised his head and looked at the sky, "Look at these blinking stars, it is said that each one represents a person's destiny." "Who said that the fate of the stars is also controlled by strange forces." Liberty glanced at her, smiled, stood up and left. Huan Mei didn't intend to go to bed, and held his breath until late at night, when he saw a small black car with no lights on, it drove up quietly, stopped at the intersection, and the escort came. The light in Father's bedroom flickered, Huan Mei went to the garage immediately. Not long after, two figures emerged from the long window of the studio, walked gently through the garden, and got into the car. The car drove away immediately, followed by Huan Mei. She knew the road better than they did, and she descended the other side and waited for them on the main road, so that they would never suspect that anyone was following them. The two cars drove towards the suburbs one after the other. Halfway through the road, the cars were very sparse, the car in front had already noticed someone trailing behind, Huan Mei saw her father looking back and recognized her car. The car in front slowly drove into a private road, Huan Mei was in shock, this road was no stranger to her. The car stopped by the side of the road, the driver jumped out and walked towards Huan Mei calmly. "Are you alone?" he asked. Huan Mei nodded. "Please drive the car back immediately, otherwise we refuse to complete the task." Huanmei said, "I want to say goodbye to my father and brother." The driver said, "If you don't leave within a minute, your father and brother can go home with you." Huan Mei looked up and saw her father gesturing to her, telling her to go. Huan Mei immediately turned the car around and drove away. She parked the car in a sheltered part of the road, arms folded across her chest, and ten minutes later, she drove back. She doesn't need anyone to lead the way, she knows where the car in front is going. They must be ready to go by water. Huan Mei drove the car back, stopped quietly, took out a flashlight, and walked down the path in the dark. She knew there was a private dock at the end of the lane. Huanmei had time to send the pitch-black yacht gently away from the pier, and it carried her father and brother away like a phantom in the middle of the night. She stood in the middle of the pier and waved to it. In the dark night, it was suddenly covered by thick fog, and it disappeared almost instantly without a trace at such a fast speed. The high seas have their own big ships. The eunuch sighed. She looked up, it was a moonless night. She walks back. Halfway through, she said calmly and in a very ordinary tone: "You haven't come out yet, how long do you want to hide?" There was a buzzing sound behind her, and a figure emerged from the bushes. Huan Mei then said: "Ji Zhen Import and Export Company: I didn't expect that you are responsible for importing and exporting people." The man was silent. "You should at least tell me." Huan Mei didn't stop, and kept walking uphill. "I didn't expect you to do such things." Walking to a place with street lights, Huan Mei turned his head and looked at Nie Shangshang in black. "It's so strange. Since ancient times, thieves have always worn black night farms." Nie Youyou knew that she was angry and didn't argue with her. "Why didn't you remind me that my father and brother are the thief of thieves?" Nie Shangyou remained silent. "No champagne tonight?" He stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, beckoning Huan Mei to enter the house. Huan Mei found the wine bottle, without waiting for the glass, grabbed the bottle and drank it, swallowed a few mouthfuls, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and collapsed on the sofa, "Thank you for helping the two suspects." Nie Youyou sat down and said, "I'm just a servant." Huan Mei waved his hand, "The executioners all over the world say so." "It was Mr. Huan himself who contacted the headquarters, and the boss asked me to carry out the task." "Of course, you're not wrong, he's not wrong, it's all society's fault." "I can't tell you, but I have ordered Huanhui to notify you in advance." "Oh, I see, it turns out that you have treated me with the utmost benevolence and righteousness." "Young Eyebrow, forgive me, this task is of great importance, you can't leak information from me." "Just now I almost ruined your big event, almost, your hands are enough to kill my relatives for me, and report to the police." Nie Shangshang remained silent. Huanmei drank a few more sips of wine. Fate always brought her to meet the same type of men, they were always loyal to their mission more than anything else, and no matter what they were doing, she was never the first in their minds. What a failure. After drinking half a bottle of wine, Huan Mei's body gradually warmed up, his mind relaxed, and his outlook on life became different. She asked Nie Jun: "With so many big cases in recent years, Ji Zhen's business is very good, right?" Nie Shangyou really couldn't summon a fight. Huan Mei clapped his hands together, "Now I understand everything, but remember that we met outside the court! That time, you specifically asked Liang Guoxin for business, but he didn't leave, so you can't earn a commission." Nie Youyou simply let her tease and tease her. Huan Mei put down the wine bottle, "I should go, I have to make up a story to convince everyone, but I don't know." "You are not fit to drive." "I can handle it." "I see you off." "It's better for you to stay at home, that phone will ring at any time, maybe there is something more important waiting to go out." She walked to the car with straight steps, but she couldn't find the car key, Nie Shangshang had already put it away. "Sit over and wait for me to drive." "I don't want to accept your favor." "I'm afraid your meeting will backfire this time: I'm the only one who knows where Huan Xingbo and Huan Hui are, and I'm the only one who can contact them." Huan Mei raised his head in a daze. Nie Jun pushed her to the next seat and started the car. "I've never lied to you. Maybe there are some things I shouldn't omit. From Chinatown to Little Sicily, and then making friends with the Puerto Rican party leader, the boss who finally appreciated me is the big brother of the gang. Eyebrow, a person must life, but you don't understand life at all, and I know you won't forgive me." Huan Mei didn't intend to speak at first, but finally couldn't help it, "Both you and Deng Zongping look down on me, because I haven't endured hardship, I would rather stay like this, and don't want to be promoted in front of you." Nie Shangyou felt uncomfortable, "How can I compare with Deng Jun?" Huanmei's eyelids gradually became heavy, she couldn't lift her head up, her alcoholism broke out, her soul seemed to be drifting into another, more beautiful and better world, she heard a small voice saying: There is nothing to miss here, let's go. If it wasn't for Nie Shangyou pushing her, she would have arrived in Bibang. "My eyebrows, wake up, my eyebrows, get out of the car." Huan Mei opened his eyes, "Are you home?" "You need to transfer here." "why?" "Look." Huan Mei stopped to take a look, and saw a black and white car parked at the intersection ahead, with blue lights flashing dazzlingly on the roof. The sky has dawned, and the eunuch father and son have already left. Huanmei said, "I still have strength, I can go up on foot." "Don't contact me again, I will find you." "Don't worry! I dare not betray anyone who has information about my father and brother." Huan Mei pushed open the door and got out of the car quietly. A lot of people were waiting for her at the door, and Deng Zongping was one of them. Huan Mei stood next to his mother, Mrs. Huan hadn't changed her clothes yet, she was wearing her hair and nightgown, with a dazed expression on her face. Deng Zongping smelled alcohol and asked sadly, "Where have you been?" Huanmei smiled slightly, fell down on the sofa, and replied: "Looking for fun." "Mr. Huan and Huan Hui are missing, do you know?" Huan Mei opened her mouth wide, "No wonder so many uniformed officers came to search. Where are my father and my brother?" She raised her voice and shouted. Deng Zongping stared at her, and she stared at him. She no longer had to be afraid of him. What she had experienced recently had made her numb and forget her fear. After finishing their investigation, they pulled out and left. Mrs. Huan seemed a little confused, she dragged Zi Zi and asked, "Where did Huan Hui and his son go?" Freedom didn't know what to do, Huan Mei went over and answered hard-heartedly: "Run away." Mrs. Huan asked again, "When will they come back?" Eunmei said again, "No one knows." Mrs. Huan asked, "What should I do then?" Huanmei said: "Try to do it, without them, you still have to live." Mrs. Huan still didn't seem to understand, she asked her daughter: "What about you, will you leave me?" Huan Mei was standing in front of the window when he happened to see a small car hidden in the bushes. "Me! I won't go, mother, I will stay with you." Being under 24-hour surveillance, it is not so easy to leave. She made black coffee and drank it down in big cups. Deng Zongping found her in the kitchen. "Your shoes are covered with mud, where have you been?" The eunuch laughed. "You know where they are, don't you?" "I don't know anything, don't question me." "But you sent them off." Huan Mei remembered, looked over from the car, only saw his father's shrunken face was gray and black. Deng Zongping lowered his voice, "You don't report what you know, and you help them escape!" Huan Mei raised her head and said regretfully, "Zong Ping, look, you don't really want to marry me." "This has absolutely nothing to do with marriage, we're discussing one thing you did wrong right now." "I always thought there was no right or wrong in love." Obviously, he didn't think so. Deng Zongping was always the embodiment of righteousness. For him, everyone was guilty until he was innocent. Huan Mei smiled, until this moment, she was free from his control, she no longer loved him. "Zong Ping, you have your opinion, I have mine, and I don't hope to gain your sympathy. Now that the eunuch's reputation is hurting you, it's better for us to have less contact." "What kind of words are these?" Deng Zongping pulled her. "I'm very tired and want to lie down for a while. It may have been ten days ago when I last slept." "I'll get back to you later." Huan Mei smiled wryly, "Don't wake me up. Don't call me back to this world." She fell on the bed and fell asleep.
