Infernal Hero Chapter 25: Salvation
Some birds are inherently incapable, their feathers are too bright, their songs are too sweet and wild – The Shawshank Redemption.
The silver-gray van drove out of Wuzhong City in one breath. During the speeding process, it suddenly slowed down. The two people were tied and thrown out of the car. The van ran away without a trace. A few minutes later, the van pulled into a container truck parked on the side of the road. The container truck went all the way south to the high-speed, but the driver of the van had already got into a black off-road vehicle.
Gu Tianyou is driving the car, Geng Jianjun is sitting in the co-pilot seat, he is hunched over, his buttocks are very empty, his left leg is in front and his right leg is slightly bent in the back to facilitate the movement, he looks like a nimble civet cat.
“Are you the client Zhao Yajun said?” Geng Jianjun’s tone was full of surprise, apparently in disbelief at the age of the young man in front of him.
Gu Tianyou turned his head and smiled and said, “My name is Gu Tianyou.”
Geng Jianjun was a little surprised: “You planned the whole thing alone?”
Gu Tianyou shrugged and didn’t care: “It’s not too much trouble.” Gu Tianyou said: “Fortunately, you haven’t started killing, otherwise it will be difficult.”
Geng Jianjun said: “It’s easy for you to say it, but the vice mayor Cui probably doesn’t think so.”
Gu Tianyou said: “Zhao Yajun saved the life of Deputy Mayor Cui, and the official luck will be prosperous in the next few years. He wants to handle this case, and most likely no one will argue with him.”
Geng Jianjun asked again: “When we came out, many of the same vans drove together, disturbing the police’s sight. You also arranged it?”
Gu Tianyou said with a smile: “They are making way for the police. Those cars belong to the demolition company. It is inevitable that there will be a little panic at that moment.”
Geng Jianjun relaxed his tense nerves and said, “It seems that you have already calculated every step.” He said with admiration: “You are only in your twenties, just look at this face in your twenties. Age may not exist.”
“All crimes will leave clues. All I can do is to try to show as little as possible.” Gu Tianyou tilted his head to look at him, and smiled: “You have such skills at your age that make me even more so. Surprised.”
Geng Jianjun took out the knife from his arms and suddenly asked, “Who gave this to you?”
Gu Tianyou asked nonchalantly, “Is there a second knife like this in the world?”
Geng Jianjun said: “It seems that you already know about me and him?”
Noticing the chill in his eyes, Gu Tianyou pointed to the vehicle toolbox and smiled: “If you want to kill me, there are more suitable guys there.” Then he asked: “But I want to ask you What’s more, do you really intend to kill your savior just to conceal a romantic relationship that has been legalized in some Western countries?”
Geng Jianjun’s face was slightly stagnant, the knife flashed in the palm of his hand, and he said: “For our generation, it is difficult for people to understand the matter between me and him. I don’t care, but he has a high social status. Because of our reputation, we have never wanted our affairs to be known to others.”
“Trust me, he doesn’t care so much about his reputation now.” Gu Tianyou drove onto the Wuqin Expressway, stepped up the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle moved forward at a high speed. Looking at the roadside landscape like the past years were thrown behind him, Leisurely said: “In recent years, he has been imprisoned in Qinzhou Prison because of the serial murder case, and his whole person has changed a lot.”
“Ah!” Geng Jianjun never seemed to know about Miao Shifan’s imprisonment. He was surprised for a moment, then fell into silence, before saying, “I killed him.”
“Why do you say that?” Gu Tianyou explained: “I’m a little curious, to be honest, I’ve known Mr. Miao for twelve years, and I’ve never felt that he is the kind of person who can’t decide what he wants to do. people.”
Geng Jianjun fell silent again, and after a long time he sighed and said, “It’s a pity that our youth did not catch up with the good times!” Then he added: “At that time, we were all young, full of passion and impulsiveness in our hearts, but worldly vision. But we had to suppress the intense emotions in our hearts. He came from a famous family, so he must cherish his reputation more than me. In those years, we decided to separate more than once. With a knife.”
“I guess he was trying to kill you to end your relationship.”
“Yes.” Geng Jianjun looked pained, nodded and said, “Every time I know what he wants to do, I give him a chance, but he can’t do it. Several times he suppressed it very painfully, and even deliberately did it. Hit me hard, and I knew he was trying to provoke me to kill him.”
“But you endure it silently every time.” Gu Tianyou learned about these things from his diary.
Geng Jianjun said: “Every time he hurts me, he regrets it.”
Gu Tianyou said: “Because of remorse, he has accumulated so much resentment in his heart. He hates why this society cannot accept your feelings, and he hates himself for not having the courage to admit his relationship with you. In those years, he killed a total of Nineteen people, each time after leaving you.”
Geng Jianjun closed his eyes in pain.
Gu Tianyou suddenly changed the subject and said in a mocking tone: “To be honest, I think you two are a bit hypocritical. If one of you was fortunate enough to be locked in for a few years to open his eyes, maybe the two of you would not be like this. Years of regret and pain.”
“He, how’s his life in it all these years?” Geng Jianjun asked with a worried look.
“How can I say it, it’s definitely not good, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing for him. After these years, at least he won’t be as pretentious as when you were together before.” Gu Tianyou pointed out Pointing to Geng Jianjun’s left hand, he said, “If it was Miao Shifan from the past, do you believe he would let me know the origin of that thing?”
Geng Jianjun flipped his left hand, and the knife that disappeared in his right hand appeared in the palm of his left hand.
Gu Tianyou smiled and said: “Uncle, your technique is really good. I have learned a few ancient tricks, but I may not be able to do it.”
About this knife, Geng Jianjun and Miao Shifan have common painful memories.
Geng Jianjun said: “You’re not worried at all that I’ll be bad for you? Or do you really think he’s become like that because of the two of us? He paused, his tone icy cold. : If you knew what the two of us went through back then, I’m afraid you wouldn’t laugh so easily.”
When he said this, his eyes were gloomy, and he remembered the same eyes when he first met Miao Shifan.
Isn’t it just a few mouthfuls of dead flesh? Gu Tianyou knew from Geng Jianjun’s diary what they had done on the deserted island. When I thought of this sentence, I suddenly thought of Lord Long in my mind. The old man and two other comrades had eaten more than a dozen little devils. But he lived a frank and happy life all his life. That matter did not leave the slightest shadow in the old man’s heart.
“When I was in prison, I knew an old man who had worked in the Red Army and beat the devils. Once he was trapped in a mountain, running out of ammunition and food, with only two comrades in arms and a dozen or so they killed him. The little devil, he did the same thing as you at that time, guess what happened to him later?”
While Gu Tianyou was speaking, Geng Jianjun kept frowning and kept fiddling with the knife with his left hand, suddenly stopped, and couldn’t help asking, “How is he?”
“He married four wives, gave birth to a lot of children, and lived a happy and comfortable life!” Gu Tianyou said here, and suddenly grabbed Geng Jianjun’s left wrist. Tianyou’s fingers shrewdly avoided the blade, clamped the knife from the back of the knife, and said with a smile: “Don’t say you don’t have to kill me, even if you really have this plan, at least you have to have the ability.”
The two are deadlocked, and the off-road vehicle is still moving forward. It can be seen that Geng Jianjun was not very determined to start, and slowly let go.
Gu Tianyou threw the knife back to him and said, “To be honest, if you two weren’t so hypocritical, I would probably admire you a little bit more. In my opinion, it was really the two of you who survived back then. It’s a great feat, and you not only survived, but even completed the task, destroying the secret laboratory set up by the former Soviet Union in the neighboring countries of southern Xinjiang, and making special contributions, which is even more remarkable.”
“You know a lot. My family was visited a while ago. I thought it was done by the demolition team. It seems that I was wrong.”
“Uncle, you really don’t need to be so hostile to me.” Gu Tianyou did not deny Geng Jianjun’s accusation, and said calmly: “Mr. .”
“Why help us?” Geng Jianjun’s expression remained unchanged, and he asked, “If it’s just to repay him, why would you know so much about us?”
“I’m planning something and I need his help.” Gu Tianyou didn’t go around in circles with him, and said the truth: “If necessary, maybe you need to use some of the skills you have mastered, Uncle, the reason why I know you guys. The matter between the two is just to make it easier to build trust between each other, and I hope to establish a trustworthy and reliable relationship with you.”
“You?” Geng Jianjun hesitated: “You are young, but you are terrifyingly shrewd. What can you do to make us believe in you?”
Gu Tianyou: “I will tell you everything I have to do, and I will do my best to help you two get together. As for what you are going to do, I will not force it.”
Geng Jianjun hasn’t let down his guard yet: “Where are you going to take me?”
Gu Tianyou said: “Stay at my house for now.”
Geng Jianjun: “Aren’t you afraid that my exposure will hurt you?”
Gu Tianyou doesn’t care: “Since I said that we want to establish a relationship of mutual trust between each other, naturally we shouldn’t have reservations. I will arrange for the two of you to meet in the shortest possible time. Knowing some things in my past, I believe you will be more willing to trust me by then.”
Geng Jianjun snorted and didn’t ask any more questions, but he put down the seat, closed his eyes and lay down slowly, and pulled the seat belt, looking very relaxed.
