On the desk in Qiao Ba's study room, there is a drawing one meter long and wide.
Black lines on white paper outline twenty-eight routes for a certain distance in Zijinhua. Each route is marked with detailed time, curves, and the mood of the driver.
Qiao Ba glanced at the drawing with his eyebrows narrowed. For a long time, he moved a Buddhist bead with his left thumb and slowly raised his head.
There were not many people in the study room. Qiao Ba, Li Si, the Four King Kongs standing beside them, and Chen Yiliang standing two meters apart in front of the desk!
His expression was calm, indifferent, and even somewhat relieved.
Qiao Ba looked at him politely and asked: "Are all the possible routes he can take here?"
"Yeah." Chen Yidian nodded.
"The last route you recorded tonight?" Qiao Bawen asked.
"Yes." Chen Yiliang nodded.
"This route -" Qiao Ba moved another prayer bead and said. "If you are willing to spend time, you can also find a chance to try it out. Right?"
Chen Yiliang said nothing and looked calm.
"But you chose to blow up your identity to complete the mission. Is that right?" Qiao Ba vigorously moved a Buddhist bead!
Chen Yiliang stood in front of the desk like a javelin, silent.
"Who told you to reveal your identity!?" Qiao Ba suddenly stood up, his hair standing on end, like a furious lion, extremely frightening.
He picked up the teacup on the table with his left hand and hit Chen Yiliang in the face like a meteorite.
Wow!
The sturdy and polished tea cups were all broken into pieces, smashing Chen Yiliang's handsome face until blood flowed out. The bright red blood slid down his face and seeped into the corners of his eyes.
After being hit hard, Chen Yiliang still stood resolutely on the spot, motionless.
"Who allowed you to reveal your identity!?" Qiao Ba roared ferociously. "You idiot!"
Li Si twitched his eyes and did not dare to say anything.
The four Vajras stood on both sides indifferently, saying nothing.
Chen Yiliang raised his eyes and glanced at Qiao Ba calmly. He remained silent.
"Just because of those few red-haired Japs who died in the mission, you harbor resentment, betray me, and -" Qiao Ba shouted with a terrifying expression. "Betray me?"
Chen Yiliang licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and pursed his lips.
"I told you! These are some losers. Are you cheating on me because of these losers?" Qiao Ba shouted fiercely.
"I also said it." Chen Yiliang grinned and said resolutely. "These people are hard to find."
"It's hard to find? What's hard to find!?" Qiao Ba yelled. "Where can't you find a few trashes? Where can't you find a few idiots!? If you want, I can give you a dozen at any time!"
Chen Yiliang shook his head numbly: "You can't give them what they gave me."
"Stupid pig!" Qiao Ba fluttered his sleeves brazenly, opened the drawer and took out a black pistol. He aimed the black muzzle at Chen Yiliang and roared. "No one who betrays me will have a good end!"
"Eighth Master!" Li Si rushed to Qiao Ba's side, hugged his arm, and said fiercely. "Eighth Master - he is Chen Yiliang! He is your adopted son! He was just angry for a moment.
I can’t figure it out, he didn’t betray you on purpose, he was just confused for a moment! For the sake of his successful completion of the mission, please spare him!”
Snap!
The handle of the gun hit Li Si's forehead, causing a deep bloody gash. One can imagine how strong Qiao Ba's force was.
"Go away!" Qiao Ba kicked Li Si away and said angrily. "I can betray everyone in the world, but no one can betray me!"
"Chen Yiliang!" Qiao Ba suddenly turned around, held the pistol and pointed it at Chen Yiliang, who was standing quietly opposite, and said angrily. "I gave you a chance to be a human being! Since you didn't cherish it! Then just be a lame dog!"
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Click! Click!
All six bullets hit Chen Yiliang's straight left leg, and blood gurgled out from the muzzle of the gun. Qiao Ba seemed unable to vent all his anger, and actually fired the gun twice in a row, somewhat irrationally.
"Well——"
The bullets fired at close range were mixed with powerful shocks. Chen Yiliang's left leg was beaten into a hornet's nest by six bullets. He just frowned slightly, but his internal organs were tumbled by the huge shock, and thick blood came out of his mouth and nose.
.
Chen Yiliang glanced at his left leg sadly, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face, as if he regretted that these shots did not hit his heart.
"Li Si!" Qiao Ba shouted at Li Si, who was struggling to get up. "Tie him up! As long as I live, he will be a watchdog forever!"
After saying that, Qiao Ba walked away with a cold expression and a puff of sleeves.
The four King Kongs left the house almost at the same time, showing no sympathy for Chen Yiliang, the lame dog they had trained together and grown up with.
Li Si hurriedly lifted Chen Yiliang, rushed to the back hall anxiously, and shouted loudly: "Old Xi, get the medicine box quickly!"
Chen Yiliang, who was lying on the bed and convulsing due to excessive blood loss, looked as usual, and his deep eyes contained a hint of disappointment. He allowed the bloody left leg to be cut open by a scalpel, the bullet was removed, and the wound was treated.
He didn't care and didn't even look at it.
He was just thinking, why not kill himself?
All it takes is one shot, one shot near the heart. You will be free——
Still can't die after all...
Excessive blood loss caused Chen Yiliang's handsome face to be as pale as paper. After taking out the six bullets in his left leg, his personal doctor Lao Xi shook his head gently: "My life is back, but this leg is useless. The recovery is the best."
It's just to put iron into the leg and install an iron frame, so that the leg may still have some support."
Li Si said to Chen Yiliang with red eyes: "Master Chen, Master Chen, you have been following Master Ba for so many years, don't you still understand him? Why do you do this? Why!?"
This middle-aged man who had been with Qiao Ba for the longest time and who knew the best about forbearance and survival touched Chen Yiliang's left leg that was destined to be disabled, with tears filling his eyes.
"If you die, you won't be tired anymore." Chen Yiliang looked at the ceiling blankly and said softly. "It's a pity that I didn't die."
"Confused!" Li Si wiped the tears from his eyes and said distressedly. "You are only eighteen years old. You still have a bright future. How could you commit suicide?"
"Uncle Li, I'm tired." Chen Yiliang lay on the bed like a corpse and slowly closed his eyes that had long lost their vitality.
"well--"
Li Si left, leaving with heartache.
Watching a baby grow up, as long as it is not a beast, how can it be emotionless? Qiao Ba is not his son, he is Li Si!
Eighth master, eighth master—how can you be so cruel?
Chen Yiliang was the only one left in the quiet room. He closed his eyes and felt the sharp pain coming from his legs. Instead of a trace of regret, he felt more peaceful.
Instead of being a dog in human skin, it is better to be a lame dog in an upright and honest manner. This way, he will not be ashamed of his brother and will not feel tired - if he has the intention.
Once, he lived for Qiao Ba.
Now, he lives because he cannot die.
Future - does he have a future?

"Tibetan Mastiff, also known as Tibetan Dog. It is produced on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is a tall, fierce, lop-eared domestic dog that protects territory and food. It is good at attacking. It is strongly hostile to strangers, but is extremely affectionate to its owner and is very affectionate towards women.
In general, it is more reliable than men——"
Han Xiaoyi stroked Duoduo's furry head affectionately and said proudly: "Duoduo has helped me fight many times before. He is loyal to me and never has second thoughts. He can do what many people can't do."
Lin Zewo was smoking silently on the sofa, and said with a hint of bitterness in the corner of his mouth: "Some people can treat dogs as people, but some people like to treat people as dogs."
"Hey, what are you talking about out of nowhere?" Han Xiaoyi jumped on the sofa, put her arm around Lin Ze's neck like a friend and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat you like a dog."
"——" Lin Ze rubbed his nose and asked meaningfully. "Miss, do you think there are people in this world who treat themselves like dogs?"
"Yes." Han Xiaoyi nodded. "In order to survive, many people will do this."
"Then you said that a person could live standing up and live with dignity. But why is he willing to kneel down and live like a pug?" Lin Ze sighed.
"Although I don't know what you are talking about, it sounds like you are very awesome." Han Xiaoyi patted his shoulder and comforted. "I will let you live standing up and live with dignity."
"Miss, if you are deliberately trying to seduce me with that little steamed bun, I think forget it. I don't feel any softness at all - why not try changing your butt?" Lin Ze tried.
"——" Han Xiaoyi's face turned crimson and she scolded in a coquettish voice. "You shameless person, I will kill you!"
"Can you answer me a question before you kill me?" Lin Ze jumped up from the sofa.
"Huh?" Han Xiaoyi tilted her head, put her hands on her hips, and glared at Lin Ze fiercely.
"Why are all the paid channels gone? I searched all night and couldn't find any. Is it you?" Lin Ze asked angrily.
"So what?" Han Xiaoyi said provocatively with a half-smile.
"I will die with you!"
"Help - a certain Sha Qiandao's true nature has been exposed and he wants to rape this young lady!"
