That night, Yuan's father and Yuan's mother spent the whole night in fear and restlessness.
On the other hand, He Xie was carefree. After reading the book, he turned off the lights and went to bed on time.
He was woken up by Yuan's mother at five o'clock in the morning.
"Huahua, get up and get dressed."
Yuan's mother looked very unhappy, and her eyes were full of exhaustion and worry.
"What's wrong?" He Xie sat up and asked deliberately.
Mother Yuan touched He Xie's face, forced a smile, and said: "Huahua, your parents want you to change your study environment. Haven't you always wanted to study abroad? Your parents will go with you. Let's leave now, okay?
good?"
Want to run away?
This is to be expected.
After fermenting all night, it was time to show off.
When He Xie changed his clothes and left the bedroom, he found that Yuan's father had already packed two large suitcases and was sitting on the sofa in the living room smoking.
"We are driving to Binhai, and we can only take the sea route..." Yuan's father was halfway through, and when he saw He Xie walking over, he frowned and said, "Yuan Hua, hurry up and wash up, I only give you ten minutes!"
He Xie didn't listen to him, but walked straight over and sat on the sofa.
Father Yuan's face was gloomy, and he suppressed his anger: "Yuan Hua, this is not the time for you to act recklessly. If you don't want to be beaten, just clean up and wash up for me!"
Mother Yuan pulled He Xie: "Huahua, you can't mess around today, go and clean it up quickly!"
He Xie patted Yuan's mother on the back of her hand and looked at Yuan's father: "Father, are you ready to run away?"
Father Yuan and Mother Yuan were immediately stunned.
Father Yuan immediately became furious when he reacted. He slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Yuan Hua and yelled: "Who told you? Ah? Who told you?"
Then he turned around and asked Yuan's mother: "Do you still have a handle on your words? Do you want to tell your son everything?"
"Mom didn't say that." He Xie frowned and emphasized his tone. He knocked on the table a few times, raised his head and looked directly at Father Yuan, "Even if I have to leave, it won't take more than ten minutes. Father, after all, this is
It’s a family matter, I think we should talk about it!”
"What do you think? What do you know?" Father Yuan said this, feeling a little horrified in his heart, because just now he saw in his son's eyes the official majesty that he could only feel when he faced the secretary, and this majesty was more powerful than that of the secretary.
deep.
But how is this possible?
"I'm afraid I know more than my father thinks." He Xie said lightly, "For example, we can't apply for a passport, so we can only sneak abroad."
Father Yuan and Mother Yuan were immediately shocked again and looked at He Xie in disbelief.
"For another example, even if we arrive abroad safely, we are not familiar with the place and do not understand the language. We still have to worry about food, clothing, housing, transportation, and deportation by the police. Even basic survival cannot be guaranteed."
"You..." Father Yuan seemed to be meeting his son for the first time, with shock written all over his face.
He Xie looked at Father Yuan: "The most likely possibility is that our family of three couldn't even get out of Xihong City, so we were trapped by the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission who were monitoring us."
boom!
Father Yuan's face turned red: "Bastard!"
He Xie didn't say anything, and just looked at him calmly. After a long time, Father Yuan's eyes began to dodge, and he slumped down.
Mother Yuan held He Xie's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Huahua, tell mom the truth, did someone teach you to say these words?"
Father Yuan was startled, then suddenly raised his head and stared at He Xie.
He Xie smiled faintly: "After the Chinese New Year, I will be eighteen years old. My grades are in the top ten in the class every year. This does not mean that I am a nerd, but it represents my place."
He Xie pointed to his temple and continued: "I know how to think and observe, so no one taught me what to say, what is going on at home, and where my father's money comes from. I know everything."
Father Yuan and Mother Yuan both fell silent, especially Father Yuan, who seemed a little ashamed and a little angry.
He Xie said calmly: "The money is for our family. If something happens, we should discuss it together as a family and bear it together. Although I don't know what happened, I feel that it is not a good idea to run away with luck."
Wise choice."
Father Yuan suddenly collapsed emotionally and burst into tears: "It was me who harmed you, your mother, and my son. It's all my fault, dad. It was me who harmed this family!"
Yuan's mother also started crying: "Old Yuan, just like what my son said, I don't blame you. The money is for our family. The first time you took the money home, I knew where the money came from. It's not
I also want to be greedy for that little advantage? I don’t blame you, I really don’t blame you! I only blame us for harming Huahua. What’s wrong with Huahua? He studies so well and is about to take the college entrance examination.
It’s just begun…”
He Xie watched this scene in silence and shook his head.
He has seen too many such things. Corrupt officials feel extremely remorseful when they are caught. But as long as they can get away with it, they will never repent for a second of what they have done.
Why?
Because what they regret is the guilt they are about to bear, what they regret is that their mistake will lead to eternal regret, what they regret is that this life is over, and they never think about what they have done and what they have done to the country and the country.
What a loss it has caused to the people.
This is also the reason why He Xie hates corrupt officials the most. From birth to death, such people will never truly repent for what they have done. From the moment they reach out, they have completely lost the most fundamental reason for being an official.
Morality.
No corrupt official deserves to be forgiven.
After Yuan's father calmed down a little, He Xie spoke again: "Father, one person is short-witted and three are wise. Now that the matter has come to this, let's tell everything. As a family, we can discuss the best way out.
.”
Father Yuan wiped away his tears, lit one for himself, took a deep breath, and began to speak in a hoarse voice, slowly and lowly.
In fact, the matter is not complicated. The notebook not only recorded the record of Yuan's father accepting bribes, but also recorded the evidence and records of his bribery to his superiors and his doing some illegal things for his superiors.
Once this notebook falls into the hands of an interested person, if one goes wrong, the entire Xihong City will be implicated, one by one, and a massive corruption case will immediately occur!
The reason why Father Yuan is so desperate is because he knows very well that even if this case is finally suppressed, he will definitely be finished, because keeping him is equivalent to keeping a time bomb, which will make many people uneasy.
Therefore, he didn't tell anyone about writing the notes, and he didn't dare to tell anyone about losing the notes. Once the news got out, the grasshoppers on the same rope as him would kill him first.
"He sneaked into our house without anyone knowing and opened the safe. None of the money in the safe was touched, and he only took away a notebook..." Father Yuan smiled sadly, "A thief? Impossible! Someone with ulterior motives threatens me?
It’s impossible! That’s a bomb, it will kill people!”
"Except for the Discipline Inspection Commission who has done this and has the ability to do this, I can't think of anyone else who would take it away!"
He Xie listened with no expression on his face, and his heart remained calm.
He knew that if he only took away the notebook, his father would definitely think so. What he wanted was such a result.
"Father, have you ever thought about why the person who took the notebook hasn't shown up yet?" He Xie asked.
