The employees stepped out of the way one after another: "Mr. Zhang." "Mr. Zhang." "Mr. Zhang." they kept hearing.

Li Weiyi covered her face with her hands, lowered her head in resignation, followed him all the way to the elevator, and then entered his small dark room, finally closing all eyes outside the door.

Li Weiyi shook off his hand and sat down on the sofa by the window, looking out the window and still ignoring him. Zhang Jingchan took off his coat and even his suit and threw it on the sofa, wearing only a shirt and trousers, and sat down again.

Opposite her.

He looked at her for a while and asked, "Have you solved all your problems?"

It was okay if he didn't ask. When he asked, Li Weiyi thought of his father who had suffered many misfortunes, and felt sour in his heart. He replied: "Maybe I have rewritten all the misfortunes in the previous life, but there are new deviations."

Zhang Jingchan looked at her expression: "What happened?"

Li Weiyi choked up and said: "My dad has been missing for 8 years and he can't be found... I don't have a dad anymore, Zhang Jingchan, I don't have a dad either..."

She buried her face in her hands, and after a while, she felt him hugging her shoulders. The breath of his arms was very strange, but you would feel that this was the breath that belonged to him. There was a feeling in her ears and in her heart.

There was silence. She lowered her head and buried her face in his arms. His body temperature was very warm, and Li Weiyi's tears quickly wet her shirt. But he remained motionless.

After a while, he began to pat her back gently, again and again, slowly, as if he was comforting a child. Li Weiyi's tears flowed silently more fiercely, and she grabbed his shirt with both hands.

In the dim room, she didn't see Zhang Jingchan looking down at her exposed profile, and his eyes slowly turned red. She didn't know that when Zhang Jingchan woke up today and learned that her father had made the same mistake again and even committed suicide ahead of time, she felt deeply in her heart.

There is only anger and hatred. But

Until this moment, when she was crying in his arms, some strong emotions that he had suppressed for a long time suddenly burst out and flooded his whole body. A tear slipped silently from his eyes, and he quickly wiped it away with his elbow, just for a moment

down, patting her back.

Like bleeding wolves, hugging the equally injured rabbit tightly, licking each other's wounds that no one can see.

At a certain moment, Zhang Jingchan put his hand on her waist, lifted her up hard, put her whole body on his lap, and then hugged her more closely.

The surroundings were so dark. Li Weiyi's eyes were swollen and dizzy from crying. She was startled, but her mind was still confused and she asked: "What are you doing?"

He was quiet for a while and then answered: "Didn't I say over there that if you lift me up, I will give it back?"

Li Weiyi thought to herself: This is not how she repays it. It's just that she suddenly didn't dare to speak. Both of them were silent. Occasionally, one of Zhang Jingchan's hands would touch her short hair. Occasionally, he would lower his head and rest his chin on her head.

The top of her head.

Everything, this room, the closed curtains, the gray light, the deep sofa, the collar of his shirt, the warmth in his arms, his fingertips, the feeling of skin rubbing against each other through the fabric... they are just like that.

Like a bottle of over-fermented wine, the bitterness is mixed with sweetness and sourness, exuding some kind of rich and chaotic atmosphere.

Li Weiyi didn't know when she fell asleep. She was probably too tired from crying. When she woke up, the room was still dark and she couldn't tell the time.

She was still on his lap.

Zhang Jingchan noticed her movement, scratched her face with his fingers, and asked, "Are you awake?" His voice was unexpectedly low and hoarse.

His other hand was still holding her waist. Li Weiyi was completely awake, and her butt was burning with embarrassment. She quickly jumped away from him and said, "Oh, my face feels so uncomfortable from crying. I'm going to wash it off."

He sat where he was and didn't move or speak.

When Li Weiyi came out of the bathroom slowly, the curtains were opened, the lights were turned on, and the room was bright and clear. Zhang Jingchan had his back to her, had changed into a shirt, and was buttoning it. And the shirt was filled with tears and runny nose.

Big brand shirts were draped over the back of the sofa.

Li Weiyi dug her toes into the ground in embarrassment again, rushed over, grabbed the shirt and said, "Wait two minutes, I'll wash it for you!"

Zhang Jingchan had changed his shirt and turned around. However, the hem of his shirt was hanging down casually and his hair was a little messy. He was a little less cold and a little more casual than usual and a little more youthful. He said: "Okay."

Strangely, he didn't say anything more, and Li Weiyi's face turned red again.

Li Weiyi took the shirt, ran back to the bathroom, and washed it in the sink, thinking: What is this? Why is she washing his shirt by hand? She can send it to the dry cleaner. She was really dizzy today.

When she came out again, Zhang Jingchan had tidied up his shirt and put on a black suit. He sat back at the boss's desk and resumed his calm and deep look. A pot of tea was brewed on the table and two empty cups were placed on it.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Li Weiyi walked over, sat down, picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp. She smiled sweetly and said: "Oh, don't be embarrassed. Don't be embarrassed. We still have to fight side by side. Don't be embarrassed. It was easy to understand just now. We are both.

People from the end of the world get over each other's emotions for a while and try to keep each other warm. Don't take it to heart, and I won't take it to heart either. If it were anyone else, I would hug him and cry, hahaha."

Zhang Jingchan's hand holding the teapot paused, his brows and eyes remained calm, and a wisp of clear tea continued to pour into the cup.

"Let's discuss what to do next." Li Weiyi said, "I still want to go back. As long as there is a chance to find my dad, I won't give up. What about you?"

Zhang Jingchan put the cup of tea in front of her. It was a bit heavy and the water shook and some of it spilled out. Li Weiyi was startled when she heard him say: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Li Weiyi felt that this "yes" was a strong statement. She said nonchalantly: "Thank you very much. In fact... you should try again and don't give up just because of one failure."

Zhang Jingchan lowered his head to drink tea, clasping the tea cup with his knuckled fingers, without moving his eyebrows, and said, "I won't use it, it's a waste of time."

Li Weiyi drank the tea silently and said: "You may be smarter than me, better at doing business than me, and know your dad better than me. But there is a saying: the authorities are blind to the beholder. I don't believe he can lie. The look in his eyes at that time was

Really, his heart is also real. I can really feel it.

Even though he failed this time, why did you conclude that he refused to change? Maybe there were other changes that made him unable to do anything; or maybe he tried hard, but it was still too late? If so, he needs you to go back and help him even more.

, rewrite destiny. Why did you convict him before you figured out the truth? You clearly have prejudices against him."

Zhang Jingchan raised his eyes in shock.

——

Li Weiyi thought about the days when her father disappeared and a lot of things happened. At the age of 17, she didn't understand anything and was heartbroken and confused. Now she looks back and is determined to sort it out carefully.

She called the criminal police officer who was in charge of the case, and her contact information was on her phone.

She turned on the speakerphone and listened with Zhang Jingchan.

"Uncle Ding, hello, I am Li Weiyi."

Ding Chenmo was the captain of the district criminal police team back then. He is now retired. He is an upright and brave man. His voice is loud and gentle: "Hello, Xiao Li."

"Sorry, there are still some details about my dad's case. I want to confirm it with you again."

Ding Chenmo replied: "No problem, did you think of any new clues?"

"I'm not sure."

That was Thursday, May 8, 2014.

Li Weiyi's parents, Li Zhongheng and Xiang Qinling, rented a shop on Qingyuan Street in Chen City, which was only about 10 square meters, and sold clothes for middle-aged and elderly people. They got up early every day and stayed late. Although they couldn't make a lot of money, they were hardworking and down-to-earth, and they were able to support their family.

Make ends meet.

At around 7 o'clock that night, Xiang Qinling went home first and cooked dinner with her eldest daughter Li Xiaoyi. At about 8:10 (based on the footage captured by the street camera), Li Zhongheng closed the store. Logically speaking, he should have closed the shop at 8:30

Walk around to get home.

However, the surveillance camera captured him suddenly turning around on the road about 800 meters away from his home and heading towards the river. He didn't bring his mobile phone with him, and Xiang Qinling took it home first to charge it.

Li Zhongheng had a purchasing channel, which was a clothing wholesaler on the riverside, and the other party's warehouse was also there. The strange thing was that Li Zhongheng did not contact the other party. The camera at the door of the warehouse captured him walking to the door of the warehouse, but did not go in.

Keep going.

There is a section of road behind and there is no surveillance.

Later, at 9:08, a camera captured Li Zhongheng entering an alley. That was neither the direction of the store, nor the direction of the supplier, nor the direction of Li's house.

At this point, Li Zhongheng disappeared. In 2014, surveillance in Chen City was not as widespread as it is today, and it was in an old residential area. Li Zhongheng was like a drop of water, disappearing into the dark night of the small town. There were no witnesses and no one knew he was there.

Nowhere, not even a corpse appeared.

There was a cooing sound in the sky, and Bending Chenmo made a shining appearance.

Say three things:

1. It’s the vague feeling she felt in the sister’s fate-turning chapter, and Xie Zhilu’s tears in yesterday’s chapter. It’s not that they also traveled through time or have memories, but it’s the setting that when multiple timelines appear, they will actually vibrate and influence each other.

Yes, the people involved will have subtle perceptions. The more parallel timelines there are, the more obvious this interference will be. In fact, these two points are the foreshadowing of what follows.

2. After receiving the notice from the editor, it will be put on the shelf next Tuesday and will be added to v at that time. I will update 7 chapters on Tuesday (the next two chapters will be updated as usual). Girls who are saving articles should take advantage of the weekend to read it.
Chapter completed!
