Lin Meijing went to see Liang Wan in the detention center again. When she got there, she learned that Liang Wan had been sent to the nursing ward. She had become even weaker due to a hunger strike and signs of premature labor in her third month of pregnancy.
Walking into the nursing ward, before Lin Meijing opened her mouth, Liang Wan spoke: "What are you doing here?" Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant. Her nose suddenly became sore. She took a few steps to the nearest place and said softly: "Sister Wan, I'm here to see you.
.”
Liang Wan was silent.
Lin Meijing turned her eyes. There was a lot of food piled up on the bedside table, but she didn't move it. She understood that when Liang Wan had no other way to commit suicide, she chose to go on a hunger strike to seek death. When a person has no idea of survival, he can kill even without any tools.
She wanted to die herself, but she asked seriously: "Are you really going to die like this? Regardless of the child in your belly?"
Lin Meijing knew best how much Liang Wan wanted a child from Lu Cheng. She accompanied her when she went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up that day. When Liang Wan got the test form, she, who was never happy, had a smile on her face.
It was so brilliant, and I was filled with joy from my eyes to my heart. Later on the way back, I quietly touched my belly with a loving expression on my face.
But now, what she is doing is not only killing herself, but also killing the child in her belly.
Liang Wan turned his head away from her and said nothing.
Lin Meijing picked up a piece of bread on the table and brought it to her mouth, "Eat some."
Liang Wan didn't open her mouth, she just looked at the snow-white roof. She had been living in a haze since she was arrested. She didn't know what time it was now or what time it was. She suddenly asked: "I want to know when Brother Cheng will be on his way."
?”
When the police came to her door, and when they said Lu Cheng had been arrested, she knew it was over. If the police didn't have strong evidence, they would never arrest Brother Cheng, and once they were arrested, it would be impossible.
Come out. This is why she insists on asking for death. She wants to accompany him on the road to hell.
Lin Meijing shook her head and said: "I don't know, the court has not tried it yet, everything is unknown." She said this to give Liang Wan hope, even if it was to deceive herself.
Liang Wan turned her head and looked straight into her eyes. A kind of resentment slowly filled her eyes. She said: "When I see you, I think of Nie Yunfeng. I hate Nie Yunfeng. Brother Cheng treats him as a brother, but he treats him as a brother."
The police came to arrest him! Where is his conscience? Why should he deprive us of our right to live?"
Lin Meijing felt suffocated. She had already been told that Nie Yunfeng was an undercover agent sent by the police in the underworld, otherwise she would not have been allowed to visit him. This was also the reason why she would be fine. If Nie Yunfeng was not a policeman, I am afraid that
Like Liang Wan, she is now staying in the detention center as an accomplice, waiting for trial in court.
After thinking about the words, she felt that they were not good, but she inevitably stood on Nie Yunfeng's position and spoke for him. "Sister Wan, I can understand your anger at this time, but I think Nie Yunfeng is just
As for his responsibilities, from the very beginning, he has taken a different path from Brother Cheng. He is a soldier, and Brother Cheng, you have to admit that he is a thief. Those who violate the law have already ignored morality and harmed others and themselves.
But Nie Yunfeng just strengthened his belief to punish good and promote evil."
She didn't understand the disputes between these men, but from Nie Yunfeng's painful expression, she could see his sadness, and she could also understand that when he decided to arrest Lu Cheng, he was actually in more pain than anyone else. Because he
He is a man who is affectionate and righteous, whether it is for his beloved, his brother, or her.
Therefore, she must defend him.
After hearing this, Liang Wan burst out laughing, her voice was hoarse, and she even laughed until she was exhausted. Finally, she couldn't catch her breath. She took a few deep breaths before turning around. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Punish good and encourage evil? What is kindness?"
What is evil? Well, tell me?" Lin Meijing was speechless by her question. The answer was very vague and undefined.
Liang Wan added: "Meijing, let me tell you, the principle followed in this world is that when Jiang Taigong fishes, those who are willing to take the bait will take the bait. What we do is just taking what we need, and no one is the real sinner. Some people follow the rules and dare not do anything for them.
** A half-step beyond the thunder pond leads to a mediocre life; there are also people who regard themselves as crusaders of justice, hoping to punish evil.
This is really ridiculous. Let me tell you, even if Brother Cheng dies, in a few years, the black market in Roucheng will have a new generation. Even if there is no one, the government will cultivate one. Black and white will become opposites.
Both are indispensable. And the new person who appears is not necessarily any better than Brother Cheng. Brother Cheng is too stupid, thinking that he can cover the sky with one hand, create a kingdom of darkness, and stick to this position, but he doesn’t know that
The sword called justice has already struck at him.
What kind of justice is this? Does justice mean betraying brothers? Does justice mean playing with people's hearts and applauding them? Does justice mean betrayal regardless of life and death? Huh, it's ridiculous. I, Liang Wan, will never admit that kind of justice!"
Although Liang Wan's words could not be spoken with force and force due to her weakness, every word struck Lin Meijing's heart. She was unable to refute, and she almost confirmed Liang Wan's ideas in her heart.
But she still wanted to say something, whether it was to defend the justice that Nie Yunfeng believed in or to save Liang Wan's life.
"I don't understand many big principles. Sometimes I feel that my fate is unfair and I am helpless by reality. But I have no other thought except working hard for life. Then I will not sell drugs or smuggle arms, nor will I take it lightly.
There is nothing just or unjust about killing, it is just ordinary life, and most of us live like this. Why can't you?"
When you are on the wrong side of the road, your final outcome is nothing more than this. If you have a choice, why do you have to choose a path of no return instead of living an ordinary life as an ordinary person?
After Liang Wan was stunned, tears burst down her face. She hugged the pale white quilt in the ward tightly, showing such a sad expression for the first time. She said: "I begged the police to let me see him, but the police did not agree;
I begged the judge to let me watch the sentence, but the judge refused me. Ordinary life? It is a kind of luxury for me. After Brother Cheng dies, there will be no place for me, Liang Wan, in this world. What else is there to live like this?
significance?"
Lin Meijing's eyes were wet, but she said: "Sister Wan, you don't have everything. At least you still have a child in your belly, and the father of this child is called - Lu Cheng. You don't want the only thing left by Brother Cheng to go with you."
Well, live well for this child."
In fact, death is easier than life. Death is just a stretch of the legs, while living requires responsibilities. Lin Meijing stood up. She didn't know how much of her words could be heard in Liang Wan's heart, but she had tried her best and put Nie Yunfeng into the same position.
The message she was asked to convey was conveyed. If a person wants to die, no matter what method, he can achieve his goal.
But she believed that Liang Wan was unlikely to die. Nie Yunfeng was well versed in psychology and he would be able to grasp Liang Wan's psychology. Brother Cheng was her only knot and her only hope for survival.
Opening the door, the military doctor was standing outside waiting. It seemed that he was going to give her nutritional injections again. She had not eaten or drank in the past few days, and there was no other way but to give her nutritional injections to maintain her life. Lin Meijing looked back at the bed
The woman had calmed down from her previous excitement. She was holding the corners of the quilt in her hands and remained motionless. After the door was opened, wind blew in, and her hair was blown to pieces and fell on her face, but she seemed to be crying.
Too tired to do anything.
In the world, women are actually the stupidest race. They always put feelings first, just like Liang Wan. Without Lu Cheng, they would have no will to survive. And if it were her, Nie Yunfeng would
If the police were waiting for trial like Lu Cheng, would she be like Liang Wan and fight to the death?
She had no idea about this answer.
Two months later, Lu Cheng was sentenced to death, Jin Yanjun was sentenced to death by the International Court of Justice, Zhao Henglie was sentenced to 20 years in prison, and Liang Wan was sentenced to 10 years. However, because of her pregnancy, she could be sentenced to two years of supervised release and eight years of probation.
Yes, Liang Wan did not die in the end.
Lin Meijing heard that the judge allowed Lu Cheng to meet the person he wanted to see the most before the execution, but he did not ask to see Liang Wan or Nie Yunfeng, but made an appointment with his lawyer at Law Firm.
In the end, no one knows what he said to his lawyer.
In the past two months, Nie Yunfeng became calm and just rested in the hospital to recuperate. Su Jinghui often came over to sit for a while. Knowing that Liang Wan no longer went on a hunger strike and cooperated with the doctor, he was relieved in his heart. No matter what the reason was,
No matter what his state of mind, whether he was feeling guilty or intolerable, he didn't want Liang Wan to die.
Women play a very important role in men's lives. They give birth to children for men, and the child in the belly will continue the life of his father. This is what he can only do for Lu Cheng.
This was the last time Lin Meijing went to see Nie Yunfeng. She had decided to leave the city.
It just so happened that this day was Lu Cheng's execution day.
When she called, Nie Yunfeng gave him an address. She was stunned for a moment, but she understood after hanging up the phone. When she got there, she saw Nie Yunfeng sitting on the ground outside the prison, looking up at the sky.
The expression on his face is that of desert sadness.
In fact, sitting here, she couldn't hear any gunshots, but Lin Meijing understood that Nie Yunfeng came to see Lu Cheng off, and she also understood that in his heart, he truly regarded Lu Cheng as a brother, but they were just different in their ways.
For conspiracy.
That all-powerful man who dominated the underworld and controlled the fate of many people had remained silent since the day he was arrested. Today, he just passed away without leaving a single word behind him.
Don't say a word of regret, don't say goodbye to anyone.
At this point, the grudges come to an end. Everything disappears...
————
Nie Yunfeng: I never thought that we would become like this. I just want to say that during those years, I really regarded you as brothers.
——Quoting Huang Xiaoming's version of "Years of Friendship", the following is one of the lyrics:
The disappearing time is scattered in the wind, as if nothing can be escaped. Wandering time, encountering you, how many winds and rains.
The innocent voice is recalling again, turning into the farthest distance, looking up at the stars and asking myself, who is my brother.
Come and forget about crying, come and miss the joy, those days covered with stars and moon are still familiar.
Do not believe in despair, do not feel hesitation, just continue like a desperate journey every day;
The vast sky and earth, the wandering you and me, all the stories happened in the years of friendship.
The wind has calmed down, and the tears have gradually become clearer. Let it pass, let it pass.
The author has something to say: I quote it here because I feel that this passage and these lyrics are very consistent with Nie Yunfeng’s current state of mind. What is more painful than sending your brother off on the road?
