"Huang Qinzhe, you’re beyond redemption!"
When Zeng Xiaoi saw the man’s expression change just now, she was initially pleased, thinking he might confess, but to her astonishnt, he was still so obstinately clueless and spoke such words. She stood up angrily, pointed at him and scolded loudly, "Your sister is still in school, and her health isn’t good. If you die or go to jail, being a scapegoat for soone else, she’ll have no ans of living. How could her life be any better?"
But this ti, the man simply lowered his head, letting her curse however she wanted without saying another word, acting like a dead pig not afraid of being scalded, completely ignoring her.
"Fine, you really want to plead guilty, don’t you? Then I’ll let you have your way, and you can await your trial. With death, disability, serious injury, and minor injury on the table, you’re looking at life imprisonnt at the very least! You can look forward to rotting in jail!"
Seeing that the man wasn’t speaking, Zeng Xiaoi cursed him a few more tis and was completely infuriated by such a fool. It was unbelievable that soone would insist on confessing to a cri they didn’t commit, even forsaking their only sister. In a fit of anger, she couldn’t be bothered to say anything more, turned around and stord out of the interrogation room.
Sister, with that money, your illness can finally be cured. You must live well in the future!
The most I can do for you is this!
In the next life, if I have the chance, I will be your brother again. At that ti, I will make sure to be a brother you can proudly introduce to your classmates, saying loudly, "This is my brother!"
Hearing the sound of the interrogation room’s door closing with a bang, the man nad Huang Qinzhe finally lifted his head, and two glistening tears fell from his deep-set eyes.
......
"Boss, are you really okay?"
"I’ve told you Fatty, how many tis do I have to say it, I’m really fine. Besides, look at , do I look like sothing’s wrong?"
Listening to Fatty Tang asking the sa question for who knows how many tis, Xiao Yi was finally totally defeated by him, lifting his head helplessly and looked seriously at Fatty Tang’s probing face.
Any touch of sentint he had felt had disappeared with his incessant, repetitive questioning.
"Well... that’s true, but boss, you really are worthy of being my Tang Feng’s boss. Your resilience is just too strong. If it were , I’d probably have cried a river by now."
Fatty Tang looked at Xiao Yi’s expression and his ntal state and saw nothing that seed overly distressed. In fact, he couldn’t see anything amiss at all, so he finally let go of his worries completely and looked at Xiao Yi with admiration.
After speaking, not waiting for Xiao Yi to say anything, he went on with his own thoughts, "Boss, if you think about it from a different angle, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’m quite envious of you. At least you won’t have to co to class every day like I do. Your life is completely free now."
"Co on, boss, a toast to your freedom!"
"Clang!"
Xiao Yi had wanted to explain a few things to him, but when he heard his last words, he almost knocked his head into his bowl, and the chopsticks in his hand dropped to the floor.
What the hell, what kind of comfort is this?
Wait, what does he an by that? Does he not want to go to school either? Why? It’s not because of Li Ling, is it? If that’s really the case, then it’s not a good sign. I’ll have to ask him later and see how things are going between them.
In the midst of his thoughts, Xiao Yi pondered in silence.
"Cough... I misspoke, nothing in particular, let’s just drink up!"
Fatty Tang also realized that what he’d just said might have sounded a bit off. He had invited Xiao Yi out today to comfort him, not to mock him. With an embarrassed chuckle, he quickly corrected himself.
"Cheers!"
Xiao Yi raised his glass and clinked it against Fatty Tang’s, draining it in one gulp before slowly speaking, "Fatty, you’ve been hanging around Li Ling quite a bit recently, haven’t you? Co on, tell how things are progressing between you two."
"Sigh... how could things be? It’s still the sa old story."
Upon hearing Xiao Yi ntion Li Ling, Fatty Tang’s hand holding the glass stiffened, and he let out a long sigh, his expression growing somber as he finished speaking. Then he tilted his head back and poured the drink down his throat, seemingly trying to drown his inner sorrow with the alcohol.
"The sa old story? What happened? Co on, spill the beans, let’s see if I can help you out."
Seeing Fatty Tang’s deanor, Xiao Yi was montarily stunned. Fatty Tang’s words and his expression were so unexpected. Recently, he had seen Fatty Tang visiting Li Ling quite often and had thought their relationship was doing well. But judging by Fatty Tang’s look, things seed to be otherwise?
"Sigh... let’s just drop it, things as they are right now are actually not bad. At least, we are very good friends, and we often chat, which is a lot better than before."
Fatty Tang opened his mouth as if to say sothing else, but he paused, eventually just sighing and shaking his head.
"If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t press you. But rember, if you ever need my help, just co and talk to . Now, let’s drink."
Seeing that Fatty Tang seed to be hiding sothing, but was unwilling to divulge it, Xiao Yi did not push further and simply raised his glass saying.
"Boss, it’s not that I don’t want to talk, it’s just... Anyway, I really appreciate it."
Fatty Tang looked slightly guilty and seed on the verge of revealing sothing, but he held back at the last mont. His eyes full of gratitude, he raised his glass to clink with Xiao Yi’s and then once again tipped his head back to let the drink flow down.
"What’s the need for such formalities between us? We shouldn’t use such polite words anymore. Since you call ’boss’, I naturally have to help you out a bit more. Besides, when I got expelled, didn’t you go all out to help ? Also, I don’t know how long I’ll be able to stay here, so I’ll help you as much as I can."
Xiao Yi drained the contents of his glass, smiling indifferently.
"Boss, are you leaving?"
Fatty Tang imdiately latched onto the last bit of Xiao Yi’s statent, shocked and with eyes wide open, he looked at Xiao Yi anxiously and said, "Boss, it’s not because of what happened today, is it? You said it didn’t bother you. There’s no need for you to leave G City. Didn’t we just agree? You should just keep coming to class as usual, it’s all good."
