After pressing the answer button, Queen Bee Yu Shuang's voice instantly came from the other end of the phone.
"I know, you are retaliating against me."
If words could kill, I think at this moment... the bone-chilling coldness in Yu Shuang's icy voice was enough to freeze me into a human icicle!
Hearing this, I did not respond.
And Yu Shuang suddenly fell silent.
After an unknown amount of time...
"Clack..."
With the sound of a lighter igniting a cigarette, after exhaling a puff of smoke, Yu Shuang suddenly sighed leisurely, "Wang Yangming was investigated and removed from his post, and the Wang family collapsed!"
"Chen Xiang, you... you won!"
"So, can you stop thinking about those past things, and retaliate against me and oppose me again and again?"
"We don't have to be like this!"
"You know, I've always admired you. The doors of Huadu are always open for you."
Yu Shuang's words made me can't help but roll my eyes.
I thought to myself, is this so-called admiration you speak of, after failing to obtain something, you would do everything you could to suppress it?
Then, when suppression failed, you chose to selectively forget, and started to lower your stance to seek peace and reconciliation?
Of course, I knew very well that given Yu Shuang's personality, she might not truly be lowering her stance to appease me.
So, at this time, one must not converse with her from a position of victory.
Because a victorious stance would unconsciously make one lower their guard.
Yu Shuang is a woman whose intelligence is close to that of a demon. When dealing with her, any word spoken or any action taken in a state of relaxed vigilance could be used by her to find a loophole.
And one loophole is enough to destroy all your previous efforts.
Therefore, I did not continue to follow Yu Shuang's words, but instead replied to her indifferently, "Let's talk about it when all matters concerning Wang Yangming are truly settled."
Upon hearing my words, Yu Shuang was stunned for a moment, and then she recovered and said, "Uh... okay, okay."
After hanging up the phone, I turned to look out the window and lit a cigarette.
As soon as I exhaled a puff of smoke, the voice of the taxi driver reached my ears.
"Young man, smoking is not allowed in the car! If you're tired, just recline the seat and take a nap!"
"Let me tell you all, you must not smoke in the car when taking this kind of long-distance bus! What if the cigarette butt accidentally falls..."
Before the driver could finish, I took out a hundred yuan from my pocket and handed it directly to him.
One hundred yuan was not much, but it was real extra income, and the most important point was that it did not require the meter!
After taking the money, the driver immediately shut up and continued driving with a smile.
Checking the time, it was just past six-thirty.
Because it was still midsummer, it was still bright daylight outside, and the heatwave was rolling in.
While smoking and watching the scenery outside the car window, countless emotions surged in the depths of my mind...
Although Leng Meng had already called me and told me about Wang Yangming's affairs in advance, it was not until these matters were confirmed again by Yu Shuang that I truly felt the sense of revenge being repaid.
Recalling being driven out of my home by Wang Yangming, the indifference on his face, and my helplessness formed a strong contrast.
That night, sleeping by my mother's grave, I secretly vowed in my heart.
To reclaim the house that belonged to me, to reclaim the home that could shelter me from wind and rain!
No matter what method was used, or what price had to be paid!
If the goal was not achieved, I would not rest!
After extinguishing the cigarette butt with my bare hands, the stinging pain transmitted to my fingertips allowed the suppressed and accumulated emotions in my heart to be briefly released...
The only regret was that, compared to my previous plan, I had originally intended to retaliate against Wang Yangming and his son in a different way.
But now that Wang Yangming was investigated and removed from his post, it meant that Wang Yu had likely escaped unharmed.
I wonder if I will ever have the chance to see this scoundrel, who is rotten to the core, again?
They say travel is tiring, and it's true.
As I thought about it, a sense of weakness and fatigue spread throughout my body, and I unknowingly fell into a deep sleep...
...
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark outside the window.
The reason I woke up was that my phone in my trouser pocket suddenly vibrated "buzz buzz buzz".
Taking out my phone, I saw an unfamiliar landline number.
Judging by the first four digits, it was clearly from Anhai.
It was so late, who would contact me using a landline? Could it be... Helian Shan?
Driven by curiosity, I pressed the answer button.
As soon as it connected, a powerful male voice came from the phone receiver.
"Hello? Is this Chen Xiang?"
Being able to ask for me by name, it was highly likely that the person knew me.
Thinking this, I did not conceal my identity and directly replied, "It's me, who is this?"
"Chen Xiang? Hello, hello, this is the Liangshan Police Station."
Hearing the other party announce their affiliation, I immediately realized that it must be about the house in my hometown.
As expected, after a self-introduction, the deep male voice on the other end asked, "Are you free tomorrow morning, Chen Xiang? If you are, please come to the police station."
"Regarding the case you reported six years ago as a minor, stating that your house in your hometown was occupied, there has been progress!"
The police officer's words instantly brought my thoughts back to six years ago...
I vividly remembered that after being driven out of my home by Wang Yangming, I chose to report it to the police the next day.
At that time, weak and helpless, I placed all my hopes of reclaiming the house on others.
But reality gave me a crisp and resounding slap.
Later, I chose to drop out of the high school entrance examination and resolutely entered society.
[PS: I cannot describe it in detail, and the reason is... those who understand will understand. I can only use a euphemistic text to express it.]
Sin always grows in those corners that people completely ignore. Once it is not completely eradicated, it will make kind and upright people feel disappointed.
And I am one of those who felt disappointed!
Justice that comes too late... is never justice!
If it weren't for that piece of evidence playing a decisive role, I probably wouldn't have received this call even now.
Therefore, no matter how great your grievance is, or how unfair you have been treated, if you want the world to return justice to you, the most urgent thing is to improve yourself with all your might!
Because heaven helps those who help themselves!
