When my dad said this, it was not particularly sudden, because he had already mentioned the marriage before, so several people were stunned for a moment, and then they all congratulated each other. They took advantage of the wine and asked my dad to set up a table to celebrate tomorrow.
Celebrating, only at this time did these few people understand how my dad managed to drag them to a restaurant outside to drink.
Kuang Haige doesn't drink much and is very clear-headed. He thinks having a son is a great joy. But after several people congratulated him, my dad just smiled. Kuang Haige could see that there was indescribable bitterness in that smile. This look,
It doesn't look festive at all. However, Kuang Haige is a measured person. Especially when he is with my father, he rarely talks nonsense or says things he shouldn't say, so he didn't ask when he saw it, but he just felt a little strange.
.
Then, my dad said something again. When he said this, Kuang Haige's doubts were immediately answered.
"No. 1 said..." Kuang Haige looked at me, and there was a little hesitation in his words. This time I could detect that the reason why he hesitated was not to lie, but because he was afraid that what he said would make me suddenly unable to accept it and would make me sad, but it was already
Having brought the matter to this point, he had no choice but to continue: "No. 1 said that your mother had a difficult time giving birth to you and passed away..."
Is that so? Is that so?
Ever since I grew up and became sensible, I have known that my mother passed away a long time ago. My father occasionally mentioned that to me. But at this moment, when I heard Kuang Haige repeating it again, my mind couldn't help but be shocked.
To me, this is a cruel topic. A child who lost his mother at a young age has no choice but to turn the page again after many years.
At that time, after my dad said these words, the wine table suddenly became silent, and the other people were all dumbfounded. They didn’t expect such a thing to happen. But my dad didn’t feel too sad, maybe he was already used to controlling his emotions.
After a few more drinks, the table dispersed.
After that, most people in my dad's team knew about it. It was a taboo. No one would discuss it in person, and my dad never mentioned it again. It became an open secret. Everyone knew it, but no one mentioned it.
Won't even say it.
"Are you sure this happened in 1987?" I asked Kuang Haige, wanting to finalize the specific time.[
"It's definitely not wrong in 1987, but I may not be able to remember the very specific date." Kuang Haige thought for a while and said, "The weather was very cold at that time. It was probably November or December. If I didn't remember it,
If I'm wrong, it should be in December, because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so on the 1st I want everyone to have a good New Year, and leave all the tasks in hand until after the new year."
That being said, the time is right. I was born on November 22nd, 1987.
Regarding this issue, I originally didn't have any doubts, or even thought about it, but the words that the little gangster said to me carelessly while drinking half a month ago made me have doubts.
I have always thought that a smart person like him would not say this for any reason.
"How much do you know about me, that is, what happened when I was a child?" I continued to ask Kuang Haige, wanting to ask all the information I could.
"You have lived with No. 1 for so many years. You should know about his character." Kuang Haige said: "He is very serious, doesn't like to talk, and rarely talks to others, so even though we people often come into contact with him
, but no one can explain what he is thinking. The death of your mother is a taboo topic, and no one wants to mention it. Naturally, they rarely ask about you. "
Some of the people in the team at that time were people brought by my father from Xihaihe River. They were considered old members. At that time, it had been several years since the Xihaihe River project was stopped. Their tasks were constantly expanding, and there were still some industries that needed to be maintained.
Operations required more and more manpower, so some new members were recruited successively. However, the new members had been observed and tested before being recruited, and they would not talk too much to find trouble. Therefore, those people at that time knew that Zheng
Lifu's wife died young and left behind a son, but no one asked in detail. As for my father, he still made a clear distinction between business affairs and family affairs. He considered family affairs to be his own private affairs and rarely did anything about it.
He will talk about me to his subordinates.
"When I first met you, you must have been five or six years old." Kuang Haige smiled and said, "But you definitely have no impression."
When Kuang Haige met me for the first time, my dad and I had already lived in that small city. Once, Kuang Haige and Uncle Lai were waiting for my dad near my house. My dad took me out to buy things. When we came home,
, Kuang Haige saw me.
"I didn't have much special feeling at the time." Kuang Haige must not have expected that many years later, I would be involved in this matter in such a way, so he didn't care very much, but after all, I am Zheng Lifu's son.
So he still looked at me very carefully: "You were still young at that time, but you have changed a lot compared to now. At that time, you were taller and as strong as a calf."
"Yeah." I nodded. When I was a child, I was really strong, so I was very naughty. When I was locked at home, in order to go out to play with other friends, I even dared to climb down from the second floor balcony. These things cannot be heard.
No matter what the flaw, there is no need for Kuang Haige to deceive me.
So, these should all be true.
So, that means Brother Wen is lying. I must be my father's biological son. He told a ridiculous lie just because I can't contact my father temporarily. The law will prove it.
"Also." I asked again: "Is it true that I can't contact my dad?"
"Really." Kuang Haige said: "If I could have contacted you, when I was in Xihaihe, I would not have made a gamble before I died and asked you to give the tin can to your father."
"Okay." I took a puff of cigarette, that's probably what happened.[
I was still thinking about what I could continue to ask, when I heard Li Fusheng's faint coughing sound. No matter how violent he was in the past, he was now an out-and-out sick person and needed many things to be taken care of.
Kuang Haige's legs were inconvenient, so I crushed the cigarette butt, told him to rest, then turned around and ran back to the house.
Li Fusheng bent down from the bed to get the thermos bottle, and I went over to pour him some water. After he drank it, I asked him if he was hungry. He shook his head and glanced outside. From this position, he could only see Kuang Haige.
's back.
"Did you just talk about something?"
"Just a casual chat, nothing serious." I said, "How are you feeling now? We have to find a way, otherwise I will go out to work to support you two."
Li Fusheng smiled, held the cup and said, "I'll be fine if I take a break. Then I can go work with you."
"That's nonsense." I was also amused. One of Li Fusheng's biggest advantages, or strengths, is that he has a very good psychological quality. He can maintain a good attitude under any circumstances, which is something that many people cannot do.
Arrived.
"I have been thinking about it these past few days and sorted out some things. I feel it is still necessary to tell you. Some details really cannot be ignored. One detail may lead to a lot of things." Li Fusheng drank slowly.
He took a sip and said: "Two things are more important. Let's talk about it first. The first one is about that little ruffian."
"Little ruffian?" I hesitated for a moment and said, "What's wrong with him?"
"I haven't had much contact with this person, but during the few days I was in the hospital, he went there three times. Judging from those three times, this person has a very special status in Wang Bingwen's gang." Li Fusheng put down his cup.
, asked: "Have you seen him before?"
"No, it was the first time at the Wenzhou party. I'm sure I haven't seen him before."
"If you haven't seen him before, you may not be able to figure it out. The appearance of this person in Wang Bingwen's team is a big suspicion." Li Fusheng thought for a while and said: "I'm not completely sure, but I feel in my heart
But it's very strong. I met him more than ten years ago."
"Ten years ago? How old was he then? Children of that age are very different from those in their twenties."
"That's why I'm not completely sure, but that intuition is really strong. I thought about it for a few days and thought about it seriously, and I think I have seen him."
"where?"
In fact, for so many years, some people may have been searching hard for Li Fusheng, but never found him, and they all thought he had disappeared. However, Li Fusheng has always been very active. He does not want to be with others and is used to walking alone, so unless you meet him by chance, otherwise
It is difficult to figure out his whereabouts. After the Xihai River project was completed, Li Fusheng did not follow Sun Wanhua and started to work alone. At this time, it was completely impossible to get the support of senior officials, so Li Fusheng gave up the idea and planned to spend a long time
It took time to collect all the clues that could be collected. Even if it was the most inconspicuous clue, as long as there was a slight possibility, he would try his best to get it. It was because of these that he killed people and obtained cultural relics at that time. The motive for the murder was very simple. Li
Fu Sheng felt that the cultural relics collected by the overseas Chinese entrepreneur might be related to the matter.
For a period of time, probably around 1995, Li Fusheng tried his best to find a person. This person was called Chen Sirie. Li Fusheng got the whereabouts of Chen Sirie, but he did not dare to be as presumptuous and reckless as ordinary people. Chen Sirie was not that overseas Chinese entrepreneur.
Comparable.
Before 1995, when Li Fusheng met Chen Silie for the last time, Chen Silie was already the director of the political department of a certain division of the Corps of Engineers responsible for the construction of the West Hai River project, with the rank of colonel. Originally, with Li Fusheng's status, it was impossible for him to be like this
