Susan stood up and walked towards the foot of the mountain. She knew that she could no longer take risks with Zhang Chen here. She had to return to the police station to seek support. At the same time, she had to protect Zhang Chen, because Zhang Chen
He is the only one who can save her parents.
Zhang Chen looked at Susan's back and felt a warm current in his heart. This girl was really kind to him.
Zhang Chen did not choose to go back, but continued to run towards the top of the mountain. Although Zhang Chen did not know what was on the top of the mountain, he believed that the disappearance of his parents must be related to this.
The top of the mountain was still dark and humid, but it was much better than the mountainside. There was a faint fragrance of flowers floating in the air. Zhang Chen knew that these flowers were picked by Susan. Every three days, Susan would collect a bouquet of flowers and give them to her.
Own.
Zhang Chen continued to walk forward. When he came to a patch of grass, he suddenly stopped.
In the middle of the grass, two corpses were lying. They were Zhang Chen's parents. His parents looked miserable when they died, with ferocious faces and wide-open pupils. It was obvious that they had not been dead for a long time.
"Dad, Mom." Zhang Chen threw himself next to his parents' bodies and cried loudly.
In Zhang Chen's mind, the scene of his parents taking care of him in the village emerged. His parents had worked hard all their lives, but they had never complained, and they had been working hard to earn money for him to study.
But now, his parents have closed their eyes forever and left him forever.
Zhang Chen lay on the ground and cried loudly. At this moment, he seemed to have lost his soul.
"Brother Chen."
When Susan saw this, her eyes instantly turned red. She slowly squatted down, held Zhang Chen's shoulders tightly, and comforted him: "Zhang Chen, my condolences."
Zhang Chen wiped away his tears, slowly raised his head, stared at Susan with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Susan, I hate you."
"Brother Chen, I'm sorry, don't blame me, I don't want to see this scene either." Susan lowered her head guiltily and said.
"I won't blame you." Zhang Chen shook his head, then turned around and continued walking forward.
Susan saw this and immediately followed her.
Walking in the dark and gloomy valley, the surroundings were extremely silent. Neither Zhang Chen nor Susan spoke. They walked in silence, and no one broke the stiff atmosphere.
In this way, the two walked for a full night, until dawn arrived, and finally walked out of the deep valley.
After Zhang Chen walked out of the deep valley, he discovered that this place no longer belonged to the deep mountains and dense forests, but had reached the outside world.
The sky was getting brighter, and a red sun jumped out of the clouds, illuminating the earth with its light.
The sky has just dawned, a breeze is blowing, the leaves are rustling, and the birds are chirping. The weather is clear and it feels like a new life.
Zhang Chen looked at the time. It was five o'clock in the morning. There was only one day left until the date of the battle. Zhang Chen took a deep breath and rushed towards Nanshi.
Nanshi is about six to seven hundred kilometers away from Beiling Town, and Zhang Chen started walking on foot.
Along the way, Zhang Chen found that this road seemed a bit familiar. After thinking carefully for a moment, he suddenly realized.
He remembered that when he first came to Nanshi, he got lost and happened to be robbed by a group of bandits. Zhang Chen used this road to escape.
"It turns out this is this road, no wonder it feels so familiar to me." Zhang Chen muttered in his heart.
However, Zhang Chen didn't think much and continued walking along the rugged path. Soon, Zhang Chen saw a girl in white sitting on the side of the road ahead.
The girl is Susan.
"Brother Chen." Susan stood up quickly when she saw Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen quickly walked to Susan and asked, "Where are my parents?"
"I brought you here last night and then left. They were in another place." Susan explained.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked: "How did you know that my parents were imprisoned here?"
Susan pointed to the blood on the ground, "Last night, a group of bandits broke into my house, and my parents were kidnapped by them."
Zhang Chen looked solemn and said: "Then how are they doing now?"
"It's okay for the time being. They are just being held and waiting to be released on the mountain." Susan replied.
"That's good, I'll go back and get something first." Zhang Chen nodded.
"I'll go with you," said Susan.
Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment and said: "That's fine."
Susan and Zhang Chen returned to the cabin, took some medicine and food, and prepared to go to Nanshi.
Before leaving, Zhang Chen warned Susan a few words, asking her not to reveal her identity, so as not to get burned.
After the explanation, Zhang Chen drove the car and rushed towards Nanshi.
Zhang Chen drove the car and sped along the country road. Outside the car window, the scenery passing by quickly kept receding. Soon, Zhang Chen's sight crossed a large mountain.
Zhang Chen saw that the mountains in front of him had a faint unusual aura, and the vegetation in the mountains seemed to be more lush than before, and even the chirping of insects had disappeared.
"There is something strange about this mountain." Zhang Chen thought to himself.
Just as Zhang Chen was pondering, suddenly, the car shook violently.
Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of crisis surged into Zhang Chen's heart.
boom!
The car suddenly exploded, and a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky. Zhang Chen and Susan were knocked unconscious.
"ah!"
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Chen woke up leisurely. When he woke up, Zhang Chen found that he was in a dark room. In front of the bed, there was a middle-aged man sitting. The middle-aged man had silver hair and a face.
Full of vicissitudes of life.
"Who are you?" Zhang Chen shouted in horror.
"What's your name?" the middle-aged man said indifferently.
Zhang Chen swallowed and said, "My name is Zhang Chen."
"Zhang Chen? Is your father Zhang Fugui's surname Zhang?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Do you know my father?" Zhang Chen was stunned. Who is this person in front of him? Why do you know his father?
"Twenty years ago, your father and I went to the same school. Later, your father failed the college entrance examination and got the bottom grade. He could no longer go to school. I helped him find a job and he owed me a debt. In the end, I transferred him to
Kicked out of school." The middle-aged man sighed and said slowly.
"Why should my father owe you a debt? If you hadn't driven him out, how could my father have been hunted down and eventually jumped off a building to his death?" Zhang Chen gritted his teeth and said.
Zhang Chen had always suspected that there was something fishy about his father's death by jumping off a building. Now that he heard these words, he felt even more angry.
When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression changed slightly. Then, he calmed down and said slowly: "I admit that your father jumped to his death from a building and did have something to do with me. However, I did not intentionally force your father to death."
"Didn't you force my father to death on purpose? Who would believe such nonsense?" Zhang Chen sneered.
The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed: "Zhang Chen, in fact, I came to you today. In addition to telling you the truth, there is another important thing. I want to warn you that you must be kind in the future and don't kill innocent people indiscriminately.
, especially when dealing with enemies, we must eradicate them, otherwise we will suffer retribution, do you understand? "
"Haha, I've taken note of your teachings." Zhang Chen's mouth curved into a sarcastic arc.
He had long guessed that his father's death after jumping off a building was definitely related to the middle-aged man, but Zhang Chen did not resent him for this, after all, he just wanted to protect his sister.
"In that case, I'll take my leave." The middle-aged man stood up, took steps, and left.
After the middle-aged man left, Zhang Chen lay on the bed and fell into deep thought.
From the words of the middle-aged man, Zhang Chen could feel that he should be kind to his father. Perhaps he was afraid that his father's death would affect him, so he couldn't wait to drive him away.
No matter what, Zhang Chen will seek justice for his father!
The next day, the sun shone on the earth, casting the entire village in a golden glow.
Zhang Chen and Susan got up early in the morning. After breakfast, they drove towards Nanshi.
An hour later, Zhang Chen and Susan arrived at the suburbs of Nanshi.
At this time, Zhang Chen discovered that the architecture in Nanshi was somewhat different from that in Jiangcheng. The overall architectural style was relatively simple, but the streets were filled with all kinds of shops selling everything.
"Brother Chen, where are we going now?" Susan turned her head, looked at Zhang Chen, and asked.
"Send you home first." Zhang Chen thought for a moment and decided to send Susan home safely, and then rushed to Longmen himself.
"Well, okay." Susan nodded obediently.
Zhang Chen drove into the city and stopped in front of a villa.
After Susan got out of the car, she looked at the villa in front of her, her eyes flickering.
Although she has moved away from here, whenever night falls, she will still recall the happy scenes of the past.
Zhang Chen got out of the car, walked up to Susan, took Susan's hand, and said softly: "Let's go in and take a look."
Susan looked up at Zhang Chen, feeling warm in her heart.
Walking into the courtyard, Zhang Chen looked around and found that this villa was quite large, covering an area of a thousand meters, and was luxuriously decorated. At first glance, it looked like a mansion, and it was worthy of being the most wealthy family in Nan City.
"Brother-in-law!" Just as Zhang Chen was observing the surroundings, a young man with long hair and dark skin wearing a plaid shirt ran over.
Zhang Chen turned around and looked at the young man.
"Brother-in-law, I finally waited for you to come." The young man grinned, his smile was honest.
"Who are you?" Zhang Chen asked with a frown.
"Haha, brother-in-law, you don't know me anymore? I'm Wang Wei!" Wang Wei scratched his head and said with a silly smile.
"Wang Wei?" Zhang Chen was startled and looked at the young man carefully. Then he slapped his forehead and suddenly said: "So you are Wang Wei!"
Zhang Chen remembered that his junior high school classmate was named Wang Wei, and Wang Wei's mother was Susan's mother. The two had a very close relationship.
"Hey, brother-in-law, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Wang Wei rubbed his hands, looking very excited.
Zhang Chen was also a little happy, he didn't expect to meet Wang Wei here.
"Wang Wei, why are you here?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Oh, I came here with an uncle who is a doctor and is treating my grandfather's illness." Wang Wei explained.
"Is your grandfather's disease cured?" Zhang Chen asked in surprise.
Wang Wei shook his head bitterly and said, "No, but the doctor said it shouldn't be difficult for grandpa to survive this period. I want to take advantage of this period to spend time with grandpa."
Hearing this, Zhang Chen felt inexplicably sour.
He grew up in the countryside and had a special affection for farmers. He also knew that Wang Wei had always wanted his grandfather to recover.
"Don't worry, I will try my best to treat your grandfather." Zhang Chen firmly held Wang Wei's shoulders and said solemnly.
Wang Wei grinned, showing his white teeth.
Soon, the two entered the house chatting.
In the living room, an old man in his sixties was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, looking like he was sleeping. However, Zhang Chen knew at a glance that the old man's mental state was not good.
"Dad, brother-in-law is here." Wang Wei said excitedly when he saw Zhang Chen.
Hearing the sound, the old man opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Zhang Chen.
The old man was slightly thin, with gray hair and a face full of grooves. At first glance, he looked like a rotten tree.
"You must be Chen'er." The old man stood up tremblingly, looked at Zhang Chen and said.
"Well, grandpa, it's me." Zhang Chen nodded gently, with a hint of sadness in his heart.
"Grandpa, my name is Zhang Chen. I am here mainly to take you to the hospital for a physical examination," Zhang Chen said.
The old man waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. Then he took out a bunch of keys, handed them to Zhang Chen, and said, "I bought this villa a few years ago. I originally planned to give it to your mother, but it's a pity that
... "
After listening to the old man's words, Zhang Chen felt a pain in his heart.
Zhang Chen's mother was an orphan. He had not seen his mother since he was a child. He only heard that his mother died early. Moreover, it was said that she died miserably and there was not even a body.
"Well, I'm used to being alone now." The old man sighed.
"Grandpa, I can't have this house." Zhang Chen refused.
"You kid, what nonsense are you talking about? This house belongs to you. Even if you don't want it, you still have to hand it over to the government to apply for a property ownership certificate. When the time comes, the government will help you dispose of it." The old man said with a straight face: "I'm alive.
It won't be too long. It won't make any sense to keep this house in my hands. I might as well give it to you and exchange it for you."
"This" Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment, and finally could only accept the key.
Seeing Zhang Chen accept the key, an expression of relief appeared on the old man's face, and then he began to tell Zhang Chen some things that needed attention.
Zhang Chen listened patiently to the old man's nagging, and felt a little touched in his heart. In the past, his mother often told him trivial things. At that time, Zhang Chen felt that his mother was very verbose, but now, Zhang Chen suddenly felt that these
The trivial things are actually more precious.
The two chatted in the yard for a long time, and it was not until evening that Zhang Chen and Susan left the villa.
On the way, Zhang Chen asked: "Susan, who is your brother?"
Susan replied: "My younger brother's name is Su Wei. He is twenty-three years old and is in his third year of high school in a vocational technical school."
When Su Wei was mentioned, a touch of warmth appeared on Susan's pretty face.
Zhang Chen nodded and said, "I will go see your brother when I have time."
