At ten o'clock in the evening, Chinese time, most people have left work early. They either go home to rest, go to various entertainment venues to relax, or are still engaged in various social activities. In the UK, it happens to be dawn at this moment.
When it comes.
Genius Mengmengliang, Zhou Xiaoru woke up from her sleep, or in other words, she woke up from a nightmare. When she woke up covered in sweat, she subconsciously reached out and touched her side, but all she touched was
It was just a thin quilt, and the man who was supposed to be lying next to him had not appeared next to him for a long time.
Zhou Xiaoru opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling above her head, in a daze.
After a long time, Zhou Xiaoru sat up from the bed, half leaning on the head of the bed, and reached out to pick up the mobile phone from the bedside table. She missed him very much and wanted to call him at this moment. However, when she took out the mobile phone
, when she found the number that was recited without looking at it, she hesitated and put down her phone, picked up the cigarette case, took out a cigarette from it, and lit it.
The sky has dawned, and the rising sun exudes a comfortable light, shining on a city that is still very unfamiliar to Zhou Xiaoru. As the faint smoke rises, the weak flame on the cigarette end is extinguished, making
Zhou Xiaoru's face was also bright and dark.
The curtains were drawn in the room. Although it was already dawn outside, the room was still slightly dim. If it were before, the first thing Zhou Xiaoru would do after waking up would be to get up and open the curtains to let the sunshine outside the window shine in. The whole person
Bathed in the sunshine, however, since two years ago, she has been a little afraid of the light and likes to stay in dark rooms. Not only that, she likes to go out less and less, and is used to being alone. In the past, her best friend and she often contacted
Friends, as time goes by, we have not contacted each other for a long time.
Zhou Xiaoru used to hate cigarettes. Zhou Guangji was a big smoker and would smoke at least two packs of cigarettes every day. Zhou Xiaoru remembered that when she was young, her mother often had quarrels because of her father's smoking. However, facing her mother
To blame her, her father always said nothing and smoked silently. Over time, her parents stopped nagging her. After Zhou Xiaoru grew up a little, she also began to object to her father smoking. First of all, the smell of cigarettes was indeed unpleasant.
, giving people an uncomfortable feeling and causing great harm to the human body. Secondly, she didn't want her parents to quarrel because of this matter. She had persuaded her father to quit smoking countless times, but Zhou Guangji just smiled gently every time.
He smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Zhou Xiaoru's head without saying a word. However, when he got addicted to smoking, he would still smoke, but he would not smoke in front of Zhou Xiaoru.
Zhou Guangji is a big smoker, which leads to Zhou Xiaoru’s first requirement when looking for a boyfriend is that the other person must not have the bad habit of smoking. Shen Kaiwen is such a person. He does not smoke, does not drink, and does not have complicated relationships between men and women. This makes
Zhou Xiaoru felt very secure. However, after her father passed away, Zhou Xiaoru could not accept the result given by the police no matter what. She always believed that her father's death must be related to Qihang Company. However, since her husband Shen Kaiwen was a lawyer, she wanted to sue
She sued Sun Shihao and his son, but eventually lost the case. This made Zhou Xiaoru never get out of that shadow. Therefore, she who used to be very disgusted with smoking, even hated it, learned to smoke. Not only did she learn to smoke, but she also learned how to smoke.
To drink.
Under the stimulation of nicotine, Zhou Xiaoru, who was still a little sleepy, completely woke up. In fact, she still hated smoking and the smell of cigarettes burning in the air. However, she was often immersed in the stimulation brought by nicotine. -Inside.
Two years have passed, and Zhou Guangji has also passed away. During these two years, she behaved very decadently, often getting angry at Shen Kaiwen for no reason, and every time she got angry, that man... She listened silently, suffered, endured, and said nothing, just like her parents did back then. In fact, Zhou Xiaoru knew that Shen Kaiwen had done his best for his father's affairs, and she should not blame him , but, every time she thought of her father's broken body lying in the freezer, she couldn't help but get angry.
Half a year ago, when Shen Kaiwen saw that she still couldn't get over the shadow of Zhou Guangji's death, he decided to take her to live in the UK. When he first arrived here, it might have been a new environment, and there were no familiar people around him. People, Zhou Xiaoru calmed down for a while, but not long after, she still got angry at Shen Kaiwen for no reason, smoked crazily, and looked extremely decadent.
One morning three months ago, when she woke up from crying again, she found Shen Kaiwen packing his luggage. She didn't know what he was going to do, but she knew that he was planning to leave, and After Shen Kaiwen saw that she was awake, he also told her softly that he was going back to China to deal with some matters and that it would take some time before he could come back.
Regarding Shen Kaiwen's departure, Zhou Xiaoru did not hold back or object. She said nothing. She just silently sent Shen Kaiwen to the airport, watched him pass the security check, get on the plane, and then returned alone. at home.
His mother passed away when he was young, and he and Zhou Guangji were dependent on each other. However, he finally got married, got married, and was about to have children, but his father was fired from the company where he had worked hard for decades. When her father was fired, she felt
Apart from strong dissatisfaction, there was not much reaction. Anyway, she and Shen Kaiwen already had their own jobs and careers, and had enough money to support themselves. However, her father passed away not long after he was fired. Although it was an accidental car accident, she never believed that her father, who had always been extremely cautious when driving, would die in a car accident. Her father left her like this, leaving only herself and Shen Kaiwen to depend on each other. But now, he has also left. Own.
The moment Shen Kaiwen got on the plane, Zhou Xiaoru knew that this man might never come back after leaving this time. Disappointment, wry smile, helplessness, all kinds of emotions filled his heart. When they were parting, the two of them actually had a lot to say. To say, however, they looked at each other in silence, and each swallowed back what they wanted to say. She hoped that he would not leave, and he hoped that she would say something to persuade him to stay. However, neither of them got the answer they wanted. Shen Kai Wen finally left and left himself.
After Shen Kaiwen left, every time Zhou Xiaoru woke up from a nightmare, she would subconsciously turn around and touch her side. However, every time she touched something empty, she was alone on the huge double bed. Emptiness, loneliness, confusion, and all kinds of negative emotions will immediately fill her broken heart.
Zhou Xiaoru smoked very slowly and her posture was very elegant. However, a cigarette was only so long. Soon, she finished smoking the cigarette. She threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, raised her hand to rub her cheek, and lifted the cigarette.
I opened the quilt and walked out of the bedroom to wash up.
When Zhou Xiaoru had just finished washing and walked out of the bathroom, the doorbell rang suddenly. Zhou Xiaoru was standing at the door of the bathroom in her pajamas, looking at the door with doubts in her eyes. Could it be that he was back?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoru's dull eyes suddenly exuded a dazzling light. She walked quickly towards the door and opened the door. However, when the door opened, what she saw was not the one she expected.
It's a foreign guy wearing courier clothes.
The young man was holding a courier in his hand. When he saw Zhou Xiaoru, he asked: "Is this Miss Zhou Xiaoru?"
Zhou Xiaoru was very disappointed not to see the familiar person, but she still nodded and said, "I am."
"Here is a courier for you. Please sign for it."
Hearing what the courier guy said, Zhou Xiaoru subconsciously looked at the express box in his hand. She stretched out her hand, took the express delivery form, signed it gracefully, then took the express delivery from the other person's hand and said
He thanked me, closed the door, and walked into the room.
The express delivery was not big and light. Zhou Xiaoru held the express box and felt confused. When he saw that the express delivery was from China and saw the familiar name, her heart beat violently. There would be something in it.
what is it then?
Zhou Xiaoru took the express delivery, walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. She carefully opened the package of the express delivery. Inside was a document bag. She opened the document bag and took out a piece of paper. When she saw the
At this moment, her face, which had been full of confusion just now, suddenly turned pale, her eyes were wet, tears burst into her eyes, and her hand holding the express trembled slightly.
It was a divorce agreement. The content of the agreement was very clear. Shen Kaiwen chose to leave the house. He left all his property to Zhou Xiaoru. Moreover, the other party had signed his name. Now, as long as Zhou Xiaoru signs the signature, they can divorce.
.
After Shen Kaiwen left, Zhou Xiaoru did not take the initiative to contact Shen Kaiwen, not even once, although she wanted to pick up the phone many times and call him to ask him if the matter was done and when he would be back. However, every time
Picking up the phone, after some hesitation, she would choose to give up. Whenever the doorbell rang at home, she always thought it was him coming back. However, every time she opened the door, it was the same as before, only endless disappointment.
He didn't come back. Just as she guessed when she sent him away, he chose to leave her. Now, seeing this divorce agreement, Zhou Xiaoru didn't feel too surprised. It's just that not being surprised is one thing.
It's one thing to not accept it.
"Bata, bah..."
Zhou Xiaoru's tears flowed more and more, and finally her face was covered with tears. The tears condensed into teardrops and fell on the agreement that Shen Kevin had signed. She was in a daze, curled up on the sofa, feeling unreasonable
A burst of cold, a cold that penetrated deep into her bones, she hugged the thin piece of paper, completely collapsed on the sofa, began to sob silently, and then started to cry loudly.
————
Ten o'clock in the evening, City S, in front of the Intermediate People's Court.
When Kevin Shen lit the lighter in his hand, his whole body burned instantly. In an instant, Kevin Shen was wrapped in flames.
This sudden scene caused everyone around to stop and watch the excitement to let out bursts of exclamations. Some people even took out their mobile phones and prepared to call the police. However, when they pressed the alarm number, they remembered , the police were at the scene, there was no need for them to call the police, so they took their mobile phones and started filming the scene.
Xu Lang, who had looked relaxed just now, saw this sudden incident.
After the scene, the face that was still smiling suddenly became stiff.
Xu Lang thought that Shen Kaiwen must have his purpose when he chose to appear here. He probably wanted to say something to the police and the court, or he was preparing for the next criminal activity. Xu Lang had many ideas. , However, what he never expected was that Shen Kaiwen appeared here not to surrender or commit a crime, but to commit suicide, and he committed suicide in the most painful and cruel way.
The flames instantly enveloped Shen Kevin's whole body, and he looked like a fireball as he groaned in pain.
In the sky-high firelight, Xu Lang could see Shen Kaiwen looking at him, even looking at him with a relieved smile on his face.
"Punishment is worthy of the crime, and those who do evil will be afraid. Those who do evil, tremble, the punisher will not disappear, it will always exist, always staring at you, haha..." This is Shen Kai Wen Zai tried his best to shout the last words at the end.
The smell of burning clothes, the strange smell of burning fat, and the smell of volatile gasoline filled the air. With blazing flames all over his body, Shen Kevin slowly turned around and walked towards the door of the court, taking a step. He walked forward step by step. Every step he took was so difficult and so steady. Finally, he came to the door of the court. Instead of continuing to move forward, he sat down and then lay down. His body began to struggle, twist, and curl up. , convulsed.
After Xu Lang saw Shen Zi-immolation, he was stunned for a moment. He immediately dropped the handcuffs in his hands and ran quickly towards Shen Kaiwen. As he ran, he took off his clothes. At the same time, He also shouted at Du Ziqiao: "Find a way to put out the fire quickly."
After seeing this scene, Du Ziqiao didn't need Xu Lang to say anything, he already called the people who came with them to find a way to put out the fire.
The flames burned very quickly. When Xu Lang finally rushed in front of Shen Kaiwen, Shen Kaiwen had already curled up on the ground, his whole body was charred black, and his body was still convulsing unconsciously.
Xu Lang waved the clothes in his hand to swat the flames on Shen Kevin's body. However, everything was in vain. No matter how Xu Lang swatted, the flames had no tendency to decrease. On the contrary, because of Xu Lang's waving movements, they gradually weakened. The flames burned violently again, and Xu Lang's clothes also began to burn. In the end, Xu Lang's body was covered with sporadic flames. If Du Ziqiao hadn't arrived at Xu Lang's He put out the flames on Xu Lang's body as soon as possible. Maybe Xu Lang would end up like Shen Kaiwen in the next moment.
The police moved very quickly. They found the water source from somewhere, quickly ran to Shen Kaiwen, and poured the buckets of clean water on Shen Kaiwen.
As the water splashed, the flames on Shen Kaiwen's body gradually decreased, and at this time, the raindrops that had stopped just now suddenly began to fall without warning, hitting Shen Kaiwen's body with drops. .
After about five minutes, the fire was finally put out. However, Shen Kaiwen turned into a wet, wet, charred corpse, lying quietly on the ground, motionless, his body curled up, The hands are clenched, showing a fighting fist shape.
Shen Kaiwen died, he died under Xu Lang's eyes, and he was burned alive by the fire. Before Shen Kaiwen died, he didn't scream loudly, only his extremely suppressed moans.
Xu Lang stood next to Shen Kaiwen's body. When he squatted down, he looked at Shen Kaiwen's completely blackened body in silence. The expression on his face was particularly gloomy, and the muscles on his face were shaking violently and irregularly. , a pair of keen eyes, now wide open and covered with bloodshot eyes.
Raindrops fell from the sky, hitting everyone at the scene, as well as Shen Kaiwen's body. The body exuded an extremely unpleasant smell. At this moment, black smoke was still rising. Those who were standing in the distance and watching were in the raindrops. When they fell, they opened their umbrellas one after another, raised their heads, glanced at the dark night, then looked at the direction of the court door, cursed a few words in a low voice, turned around and left, while some people chose to stay. At the scene, I looked at the door of the court with great interest to see what the police would do next and what was going on. If you understand this, you will have enough to talk to your colleagues when you go to work tomorrow. .
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the raindrops hit Xu Lang's body intensively. Soon, his wet clothes were soaked through, and his long snow-white hair was wetted by the rain and tangled together. The rain ran down Xu Lang's hair, The slow moisture flowed down and wet his face, which was still shaking violently. I don't know if it was because of the cold weather, or because his body was wet from the rain, or for other reasons, Xu Lang's body began to tremble, and he Squatting next to Shen Kaiwen's body, looking at Shen Kaiwen's eyes that were already dark, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Why?"
Why did you do this? Why did you help Wang Wenruo kill people? Why did you choose to end your life in this way? Why?
However, Xu Lang's question seemed so weak in the noisy scene, and Shen Kaiwen was dead, so it was naturally impossible to answer Xu Lang's question. There was no answer, no truth. It seemed that everything followed Shen Kaiwen. Death and complete disappearance.
