C1647 Unendurable Tiredness
C1647 Unendurable Tiredness
In the blink of an eye, nineteen years had passed. As Zhang Wenwen grew up, Shieh Hongyan gradually forgot about Chen Qing.
Even when they thought about it, they would occasionally think that the power behind Chen Qing would put the blame for his death on Anggui Cult.
Shieh Hongyan forgot Chen Qing, but 1973 did not forget, Zheng Fu also did not forget. From beginning to end, he kept trying to find the real culprit. Finally, by chance, he found out that Shieh Hongyan had a tattoo of a scarlet door.
The situation suddenly became clear. Chen Qing looked at the Red Moon in the sky before he died and told others that the person who killed him was related to the red door. However, he didn't have any clear thoughts at that time, so he only said the words that provoked him the most.
Actually, she knew that Chen Qing had harassed Shieh Hongyan two years before he died. She also knew that on the night of Chen Qing's death, he had also appeared in the Expedition Square. However, she didn't expect that she was the one who mistakenly killed Chen Qing.
(At that time, the ones protecting Chen Qing and the Anggui Cult people chasing Shangguan Yin would definitely mislead 1973 into focusing on Anggui Cult. For the past nineteen years, they have been focusing on investigating who killed Chen Qing, ignoring Shieh Hongyan, the pitiful woman.)
Nineteen years later, the people from 1973 confirmed that the real culprit was Shieh Hongyan, and only then did they arrive at Jinnan.
What Gao Fei didn't know was that Shieh Hongyan had tried to beat around the bush and asked Ye Xinshang about 1973 through Zhang Wenwen. Only then did she realize that this department was an existence Gao Fei couldn't touch.
1973 was indeed not something Gao Fei could go against, because it represented a very important implication-- Ye Xinshang naturally knew this, or else he wouldn't pretend that he didn't know anything. He would have told Zhang Wenwen about everything he knew when she asked him about 1973.
Ye Xinshang did not want Gao Fei to go against 1973, because it was not easy for everyone to live a good life. Most importantly, even if he and Tieh Tu supported Gao Fei, they would not be able to fight against 1973.
1973, had an unspeakable superior position in the dynasty.
Ye Xinshang definitely couldn't let Shieh Hongyan ruin many people's happy lives: Gao Fei was no longer alone, he carried too many benefits, he was good, everyone was good, if anything happened to him, everything would become dark as time went on.
Sacrifice Shieh Hongyan, in exchange for many people's happiness -- Ye Xinshang had considered for a long time before making the decision: He took the initiative to take the role of the villain, implying Shieh Hongyan to sacrifice herself for Gao Fei.
Shieh Hongyan was extremely intelligent. After she completely understood the meaning behind 1973, she quickly made up her mind. As she wrote to Gao Fei in her letter, "I must leave. Only if I leave can you, my most beloved daughter, live a good life forever."
"This is retribution. My fate. No matter what I do, no matter how much effort I put in, I cannot change this."
"Gao Fei, I'm leaving. I know you're angry because you think you have the ability to protect me. But do you know? I'm tired of being protected. It was my parents, then it was Shangguan Yin -- and now it's you. The final fate of all those who have protected me was that tragic. At the same time, it also caused me to bear too much pressure, and I felt like I was about to collapse. "
"I am a proud woman. I really don't want to be protected by others anymore, even if I die. Gao Fei, don't scold me. I hope that you can think it through and understand. No matter if I am dead or alive, I am still grateful to you. "
"Let me do what I want to do."
"All these years, I've been too tired to bear the love of someone who loves me."
"Perhaps, only death is the only way for me to bear this burden, isn't it?"
--
Gao Fei read the letter at a very slow pace. He had to read almost every word more than three times. It took him half an hour to finish reading the letter. Finally, he sighed, tore the letter into pieces, and threw it into the air.
The night breeze blew the torn pieces of paper over the high wall, causing them to flicker like white butterflies, bringing with them a sense of elegance as they flew into the distance.
He raised his head, his gaze chasing after a white butterfly. His eyes were calm.
He wasn't as angry as Shieh Hongyan had feared.
He knew that Shieh Hongyan was doing this for him, just like how she was willing to be his bait to find Riverbed Tomb.
This woman who seemed to be a vase on the surface had the ruthlessness that most women did not have: her past tragic experiences had tempered her extraordinary willpower and made her aware of what she could do. When it was time to sacrifice, she would not hesitate.
Perhaps, it was just as she had said in her letter, she had had enough of being protected, or perhaps she was beginning to despair towards the entire world. Once she found the most respectable 'death', she would bravely step forward.
But, did Shieh Hongyan know that she wasn't the daughter of the husband and wife surnamed He?
She was the daughter of the most powerful of the Wolf Killing's three tribes, the Seven Deadly Assassin!
The killer wouldn't stand by and watch her get taken away by Gao Fei. This was also Gao Fei's most promising point. At the same time, he hoped to use this opportunity to establish a relationship similar to an ally with Seventh Killer.
Gao Fei even had a bold plan. Through his ingenious operation, he had finally pushed Shieh Hongyan to the throne of the Seven Deadly Chief!
That way, he would be able to control the Seven Deadly Division and gradually wash clean this unshakeable organization bit by bit … Then, this must be what the upper echelons of the Divine Empire hoped for the most, right?
Gao Fei admitted that he had such a thought. It was too wishful thinking, but it wasn't impossible: if Shen Yinbing could become the Greedy Wolf's Wolfmaster, then Shieh Hongyan who had the support of her father, why couldn't she become the Seven Deadly Slaughter's leader?
However, what made Gao Fei helpless was that before he could tell Shieh Hongyan all this, the woman, who was no longer able to endure the heavy protection, had resolutely left.
Gao Fei was very clear that when he crippled the three people of Loong Wu's group and let Shieh Hongyan live into the Mansion of Faang Family, the people from 1973 had already set up a group in the Faang Family Village. It's just that for some reason, they haven't completely fallen out with Gao Fei yet.
It was under these circumstances that Shieh Hongyan took the initiative to leave the Faang Family Village.
She had been walking for nearly five hours — half an hour, in fact — and the moment she was out of sight of those who protected her, the people of 1973 would do something.
Gao Fei could be sure that Shieh Hongyan had already fallen into 1973's hands.
So what should he do now?
Was he supposed to be grateful (grateful that Shieh Hongyan had stepped forward to take responsibility), angry (angry that the woman didn't trust him), indifferent here?
If Gao Fei really did that, then he wouldn't be Gao Fei.
When the moon quietly climbed up to the treetops, Gao Fei, who had been struggling in silence for a long time, finally raised his head and looked at the vacuum light bulb in the corner of the wall. He said to Loong Yun'er, who had stood with him for a long time: "That lamp is too dazzling."
Loong Yun'er raised her head to look at the light bulb and thought for a moment. "Are you going to chase after her?"
"What do you think?"
"How would I know? I don't even know why she left."
Loong Yun'er shook her head and said, "I've been carefully observing you just now and found that you seem to be trying very hard to convince yourself that it's a difficult decision. Maybe you're considering whether to chase after her or not?"
"A fortune-teller is a fortune-teller."
Gao Fei praised him sincerely and changed the topic: "Let's go, I'll take you for a stroll outside."
"You'd better wash your face first. I don't want people to misunderstand the lipstick on your face. I got it up there."
Loong Yun'er walked up to him.
Gao Fei raised his hand and wiped his cheek a few times before looking at Loong Yun'er.
Loong Yun'er shook her head, indicating that she still hadn't wiped it clean.
Gao Fei smeared it on his palm and wiped it again.
"Ugh!"
Loong Yun'er took a pose of vomiting and said with a frown, "Alright, alright, stop disgusting me – fortunately, I don't have any appetite to eat now, otherwise I would be vomited out by you."
"I invited you out for a drink. I haven't eaten either."
Gao Fei rubbed his face a few more times, then lifted his leg and walked towards the entrance.
Just as he walked out of the gate, two Black-robed Man s appeared beside him. One of them bowed slightly and said in a low voice: "Director Gao, the unofficial asked us not to follow you, we … …"
"I know, you didn't do anything wrong."
Gao Fei raised his hand and interrupted that person's words.
The man nodded gratefully, turned around and led his companion into the darkness.
Loong Yun'er looked at the dark corner of the book and quickly followed Gao Fei. She asked, "Are you really not going to chase after her?"
"When I wanted to go after her, you told me she'd been gone more than four hours and couldn't catch up. It had been a long time, so he naturally couldn't catch up. Alright, you don't have to worry about her anymore. Let's go for a drink first, I'll treat you. "
Gao Fei walked towards the village entrance with his hands behind his back.
Gao Fei didn't chase after her after deciding what to do because he knew very well that even if Shieh Hongyan was captured by 1973, he would never 'bring her to justice'. What he needed to do now was not to look around for her like a headless fly, but to calm his heart down.
Tomorrow morning, he would go to the Jingdu City and find someone to ask about 1973: where its headquarters was.
Furthermore, the staff he had arranged for yesterday had yet to arrive.
Loong Yun'er didn't say anything else and just followed him leisurely towards the entrance of the village.
The road from the entrance of the village to the back of the village was also straight, with four wide lanes. On both sides of the road were red tiled sidewalks, and outside the roads were rows of willow trees.
Gao Fei likes the willow. When the willow leaves are blown by the wind, they will slowly fly up, causing people to think of the waves in the sea.
It was already around nine in the evening. If it were in any other place in the countryside, even if there were people enjoying the cool weather, there wouldn't be too many people. After all, the environment restricted people's nightlife.
However, in the new capital, Faang Family Village, it was currently the busiest time of night. With over forty thousand outsiders gathered in a circumference of five kilometers, it would seem packed to the brim, so it was natural for them to come out at night.
In the back village of Faang Family Village, the most important building was Mansion of Faang Family. The villas on the small hills, the elderly, and the children's activities center; these were all things that youngsters did not like.
The favorite venues of the young people of the day were at the village entrance as well as on both sides of the road to the south. Therefore, there were a lot of people here, forming the night city accordingly.
"Let's go in there. I'll treat you."
Gao Fei glanced at the bar that was not far away and said to Loong Yun'er.
