Ignoring cleaning the stains on her body, Xiao Yanran picked up the memory card and ran out of the bathroom, but suddenly bumped into a man.
He raised his head and found that the man in front of him was his boss Wu Juyang, who was staring at him with a malicious smile on his face.
"No...I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, I got the material and I'm going to release it now!"
Xiao Yanran lowered her head in embarrassment and tried to slip past the other party, but was blocked by the other party's arm, "Hey? Yanran, tell me first, have you collected any news today?"
Xiao Yanran said: "When I first received the news, I thought it was just an ordinary fire scene news, but after I went there, I found out that it turned out to be a murder case!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Juyang's eyes suddenly shone, and he asked eagerly: "Did you find any valuable clues?"
She raised the dirty memory card in her hand and explained: "It's all in here! Mr. Wu, after I went over today, I interviewed a scavenger!"
Wu Juyang curled his lips, "What's so good about interviewing a rag picker?"
"That's not an ordinary rag picker!" Xiao Yanran said loudly: "That person is the only one who has seen the murderer's appearance! Now even the police don't have the information! What do you think, Mr. Wu? Do you dare to share this information?
"
"Meet... have you met the murderer?" Wu Juyang's voice trembled a little when he spoke, and his wretched eyes gradually began to shine, "Really? Oh my god! Yanran, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Xiao Yanran nodded firmly and asked again: "How? Mr. Wu, if this news is sent out, it will definitely offend the police. Do you dare to do it?"
Wu Juyang slapped his thigh suddenly, "Do it! This damn thing must be done! Only a fool would let go of such breaking news! Yanran, let me ask you, who else knows about this now?"
"There are two other companions, but I don't know if they were caught by the police at the scene. Moreover, I don't know how credible the scavenger's words are for the time being."
"Who has time to control the life and death of those two bastards!" As Wu Juyang spoke, he eagerly pushed Xiao Yanran into the office and warned: "Hurry up! Hurry up and post the interview video on the website now.
This is definitely breaking news, haha!”
Xiao Yanran asked: "But...but now I have no way to verify the authenticity of what the scavenger said. What if he fabricated a murderer's portrait for us just for the informant fee? Then what will happen to us?"
Will the news affect the police investigation into this murder case?"
"It's your first day at work!"
Wu Juyang scolded him with a straight face: "In the title of this kind of news, you only need to add a question mark after the sentence 'The scavenger is the only person who has seen the murderer'. Isn't that just a speculative report? Let's forget it in the future.
If the police come here, we can completely shirk the responsibility, do you understand?"
After finishing speaking, Wu Juyang whispered: "If this news breaks, then you will be the star of our company this month! Do you want to stay at the bottom like this forever?"
Xiao Yanran suddenly remembered that her boss had once raised the issue of being "laid off" with her. When she put all her worries aside, she gritted her teeth and transferred the interview video of the King of Rags to her computer.
…
Nancheng, a certain suburb.
Chen Liangshan looked at the gradually burning fire in front of him, still feeling deeply guilty and self-blame in his heart.
The sudden ringing of the phone startled him. When he saw his wife's name displayed on the screen, he suppressed his nervousness and realized that he was safe now and had nothing to be afraid of.
When I picked up the phone, Xiao Yanran's hysterical complaining voice suddenly came from the receiver.
"Chen Liangshan, where did you go tonight? No one picked up my daughter after school, and the teacher even called me!"
Hearing his daughter's name, Chen Liangshan finally recovered from his wandering thoughts and hurriedly said: "Yes... I'm sorry, wife! I was busy just now and forgot about my daughter. I'm going to pick her up now!"
"
"Go, go, go! There's no point in going now! Look at what time it is! Where are you? What are you doing?"
Chen Liangshan was speechless for a moment, "I...I am..."
Xiao Yanran became furious when she heard her husband's voice. Coupled with the hesitant look on her face, her emotions finally burst out uncontrollably.
"I can't tell you whether you are a man or not! Let me tell you, I am too busy to leave today. I have already asked my mother to take my daughter home!"
Chen Liangshan: "Oh, that's good. Fortunately, she has time."
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Yanran interrupted the other party: "Today, my mother asked you what you were doing and why you didn't pick up your daughter. Do you know how I answered?"
Chen Liangshan said apologetically: "No... I don't know."
The other party complained loudly again: "Yes! Chen Liangshan, let me tell you, I don't know how to answer my mother! I don't know how to tell her that I have a child who can't make money outside all day long and can't pick up the children."
Husband! Why are you so disappointing? Why can’t you do something as simple as connecting your children to school? Do you know how much disappointment was in my mother’s tone when she asked me this question today?
Do you know that since I married you, I have never raised my head in front of my mother even a day!"
This merciless ridicule pierced Chen Liangshan's heart like a sharp arrow, making him feel a hint of anger in his heart that was already filled with guilt.
For so many years, he has worked hard for his family and has almost no time for himself. However, he still has to endure his wife's emotions that may explode at any time. How much he hopes to leave a lasting impression in front of Xiao Yanran's parents.
He is a good husband and a good father.
At this time, Chen Liangshan begged the other party for forgiveness with a humble attitude.
"Wife, listen to me. As long as you are busy during this period, I will soon let you and Nannan live a comfortable life..."
"enough!"
Xiao Yanran interrupted sharply: "I don't know how many times I have heard this sentence! Time and time again, tell me, you, a man, have never let me down? Ah? Tell me? What on earth are you doing for this?
What did my family do to make our life turn into what it is now? What is the use of a man like you!"
As a man, what use are you?
When Chen Liangshan heard such a question, he felt such pain and depression that he couldn't help but shed tears. He choked and said: "Yanran, could it be that... in your eyes, I am just... so unbearable?"
?"
"Yes! That's right! Chen Shanshan, I have never told you. Not only do you look like this in my eyes, but you are also a useless and unsightly man in the eyes of my parents!"
Xiao Yanran's words were heart-breaking, almost crushing Chen Liangshan's self-esteem as a man to the ground.
He was confused. He didn't know what wrong step he had taken to end up like this. Years of hard work for this family ended up being scolded by his wife.
He felt that his life was worse than a dog, and he also understood that in such a poor and impoverished couple's family, lack of money was his original sin. The reason for everything was just because every friend around Xiao Yanran lived better than her.
Wealthier than her.
At the same time, he has kept in mind every hardship his wife and children have suffered over the years. He knows better than anyone else the injustices his wife and children have suffered.
When he saw that his wife’s face was no longer young because she was unwilling to spend money on maintenance, when he saw that every time when the children were about to go to school, they would eat leftovers for several days, just to save the inexpensive food.
When paying for tuition, he knew that it was all his fault because he had not given his wife and children the life they wanted.
He knew that he was wrong, he knew that he was not as useful as other men, and he also knew that he had long been such a miserable man in the eyes of his wife, but at this moment, his emotions finally couldn't help but explode.
broke out.
The emotions he had suppressed for many years burst out at this moment, and he seemed to scold his wife mercilessly in a roaring tone.
"Fuck you Xiao Yanran! I have told you time and time again that your life will get better, but how have you ever believed me? You would rather go to your friends and cry like a resentful woman about how much you have suffered.
You are wronged, but you will never learn to sit down and discuss the problems you encounter with me calmly! You will always only complain! To curse! It is my fault that our life has become like this! I have not fulfilled my role as a man.
Responsibility! But the contribution of this hysterical woman like you is absolutely indispensable! Our lives are ruined by women like you!"
"Chen Liangshan...you...you..."
After Xiao Yanran heard these words, she felt bursts of shattering pain in her heart, and the blood all over her body seemed to freeze at this moment.
"Fuck you Xiao Yanran!"
Chen Liangshan finally cursed, raised his cell phone and smashed it against the car's glass.
As the sound of shattering mobile phones was heard, the car glass was also smashed with spider web-like cracks.
He looked at his face printed on the glass. Perhaps the cracks had distorted his facial features, but now he looked as ferocious as a demon.
