I am terminally ill, but I am healing the world with my songs
#71 - Chapter 71 Shadow
Dusk.
Yinghui Elementary School.
Ding ~… … Ding Ding Ding ~… …
Accompanied by the pleasant sound of the school dismissal bell, students carrying their schoolbags gradually left the school, chatting and laughing.
In the crowd, Wen Ze lowered his head, drifting along listlessly.
“Hey, kid, you don't seem very happy.” Along with a voice, a tall figure appeared in front of Wen Ze.
Wen Ze looked up blankly and saw Gao Chongting looking at him with a mischievous smile.
“You are, my brother's lawyer? What are you doing here?” Wen Ze's tone was full of hostility.
He knew that his own brother's most trusted lawyer had been bought off by Wen's parents for 200,000.
Wen Ze had heard clearly when they discussed those things last night.
Wen's parents were furious at home because his asking price of 200,000 would bleed their family dry.
This profit-seeking, benefit-oriented man made Wen Ze very disgusted.
He deeply deceived Wen He's feelings!
“You seem very dissatisfied with me.” Gao Chongting said nonchalantly.
“You big liar! You cheated my brother!” Wen Ze was furious.
“So I cheated him, so what? You can't find your brother anyway, and you might get beaten when you go home tonight.” Gao Chongting's mean words deeply hurt Wen Ze.
“… … … … ”
Wen Ze stood there in silence, his fists clenched, his heart full of unwillingness, but helpless.
Going home might indeed mean getting beaten.
If he didn't go home, where could he go?
It was already December, and the cold wind at night was faintly biting.
If he spent the night outside, even if he wasn't abducted, he would definitely have problems from the cold.
“Alright, I won't tease you anymore, come with me, I'll take you to find your brother, if you have anything to say, you can tell him yourself.”
Gao Chongting felt that if he provoked him any more, he would cry in the next second.
Hearing this, Wen Ze was stunned, he looked at Gao Chongting, just took a step, the next second he immediately retracted it, and quickly retreated two steps, looking at Gao Chongting with a wary expression.
As soon as he thought that the other party was a profit-seeking person, Wen Ze's heart, which had just wavered, instantly calmed down.
If he went with this guy…
He might be sold!
“Yo, I didn't expect you to be so vigilant.” Gao Chongting exclaimed in admiration.
Then he took out his phone, opened the album, and played a video.
The video showed Wen Ze being beaten by Wen's father last night.
Seeing this scene, Wen Ze trembled violently.
“Your brother was worried that after you shouted that sentence last night, you would be beaten by your parents when you got home, so he wanted to get the surveillance footage to take a look.”
“This morning we went to find the surveillance camera installed in your house, and sure enough, we found out about your miserable state yesterday.”
“I'm here to take you away from that home.”
“Don't worry, I've already said hello to your parents, it doesn't matter if you don't go home for a while.”
“Originally, your brother was going to pick you up, but Cheng Yudie saw that scene yesterday and was afraid that Wen He's appearance would be targeted by your parents.”
“It would be troublesome if they tried to go for broke, so I came to pick you up instead.”
“What do you think, do you want to go with me, this big liar?”
He reached out his hand with a smile, inviting Wen Ze.
Hearing Gao Chongting's words, Wen Ze stared at his eyes with a questioning expression.
After struggling repeatedly in his heart for a long time, he finally chose to believe and shook Gao Chongting's hand.
“Haha, I'm going to sell you to the mountains to mine coal later.” Gao Chongting threatened with a look of success.
“I feel like you don't seem like a bad person…” Wen Ze said.
“Then you're wrong, I'm rotten to the core.”
“Then I'll accept it, anyway, I might be beaten to death if I go home.” Wen Ze resigned himself to fate.
Dusk dyed the sky a brilliant golden color.
The two of them walked side by side into the sunset.
The light enveloped them.
The shadows were stretched long.
The gentle breeze that brushed past added a bit of warmth.
“Was my brother worried about me yesterday?” Wen Ze asked.
“Yes, otherwise how would he have found out that you were beaten.”
“… … … … ”
A warm current surged into Wen Ze's heart, but it also made him feel more guilty.
“Lawyer-gege, can you not withdraw the lawsuit against my parents… My brother is such a popular internet celebrity, as long as you help him win the case, he will definitely give you a lot of money, more than 200,000.” Wen Ze pleaded.
“I don't want your brother's money, I want your parents'.” Gao Chongting said.
“But… but…” Wen Ze was so anxious that he didn't know what to say.
“That 200,000 is only to help them avoid jail, severing the relationship and account ownership are not within the scope, what are you worried about.”
“I think it's a little too light… they are really, really too much to my brother…”
Wen Ze didn't sleep all night yesterday, he was recalling Wen He's days at home since he was a child.
Except for the memories he didn't have before the age of three.
After that, all the memories about Wen He were incomparably tragic.
“Have you ever thought about what will happen to you if your parents are thrown in jail?” Gao Chongting asked.
“As long as there is a place to live, I can support myself.” Wen Ze had already seriously considered this matter last night.
“You little guy, so precocious, you're only ten years old, how can you support yourself, it's your good luck if you don't get abducted when you go home.”
Gao Chongting laughed very ruthlessly.
“Then don't worry about it, in short, the harm they did to my brother can definitely not be smoothed out with 200,000, have a conscience and arrest them.” Wen Ze continued to plead.
“That won't work, I want to receive this money, and I won't throw them in jail either,”
“Why is that…” Wen Ze lowered his head in disappointment.
Although 200,000 was enough to bleed his parents financially, he felt it was still too light.
After all, Wen He is now so seriously ill, thanks to his parents.
If they had cared a little, they should have gone to the hospital for examination long ago.
“Your thinking is too limited, the punishment of being in jail is too easy for them.”
“True suffering never happens in prison, prisoners are still guaranteed their most basic rights in prison.”
“Do you think the days your brother lived before were more comfortable than those in prison?”
“I said, I'm rotten to the core, making their economy collapse is only the first step.”
“Their good days are yet to come.”
Gao Chongting's words were like a thunderbolt that instantly exploded in Wen Ze's mind.
He trembled violently, his whole person awakened as if from a dream.
His astonished gaze looked at Gao Chongting, who had a smile on his face.
In a trance…
He seemed to see the devil grinning.
In order to make this plan, Gao Chongting specially called the "Tomorrow's Sons" program team and asked them to find Wen's father.
They also followed the plan to trick Wen He out, and then rightfully show them the collected evidence, further amplifying their fear.
When they are forced to a dead end with no way out, they will firmly grasp any straw.
The amount of 200,000 will not put them in debt, but it is enough to empty their family savings.
Of course…
Wen He and Cheng Yudie are both unaware of this.
Even the video of Wen Ze being beaten was cut a lot by him.
Only the scene of Wen Ze being beaten was retained, and the things they discussed before were deleted.
At the hearing, he wanted to create a victorious picture for Wen's parents.
After they thought they had won the case, they would be plunged into the abyss.
If Cheng Yudie is the light that illuminates Wen He.
Then Gao Chongting is the shadow who silently protects Wen He in the dark.
