0182 Freedom
Back at Longyuan, Lin Qiang and Wang Wenjun went upstairs talking and laughing.
Unpredictable, in the dark corridor, a figure sitting on the steps like a stone sculpture blocked the way forward of the two. Wang Wenjun didn't pay attention and directly bumped into the man, and then he realized that there was a sitting person in front of him.
"Ah... I'm sorry..." Wang Wenjun lowered his head, thinking that it was a homeless blind wanderer, and was ready to move aside and continue moving forward.
But Lin Qiang looked at the outline and felt a familiar smell.
"Lin...Lin Qiang..." the man said hoarsely.
"You... are..." Lin Qiang trembled all over. Although his voice was hoarse, the feeling was right, it must be him.
"Yes, it's me." The man replied silently.
Lin Qiang's mind flashed through his mind, and he froze for a while and patted Wang Wenjun: "Wenjun, you go back first."
"Ah?" Wang Wenjun was also stunned for a moment, looking at the man's outline, probably guessing something, "Then call me if you have something to do..."
Wang Wenjun left uneasyly.
Lin Qiang sat silently beside the man and hugged the figure.
Thousands of emotions surged, which made Lin Qiang feel unspeakable bitterness and excitement, and finally choked and formed a sentence-
"Brother...you're suffering..."
However, the man slowly lowered his head.
Tick to...
Tears dripped on the stairs.
"Why...why..." He covered his face and cried, "My child...why..."
He is Liu Ming, he is free.
But what greeted him was not a beautiful world.
"My fault." Lin Qiang grabbed Liu Ming's shoulder tightly and said hatefully, "I didn't expect... what you left behind is so important."
"It's only a few months...it's OK soon..." Liu Ming slowly stretched out his one arm, trying to touch the bright moon outside the window, "Lin Qiang, tell me...why did everything I did... Guo Jiao didn't answer my phone, I went to find her, and didn't open the door for me... Her father was even driving me away..."
"Why, I was the one who was sanctioned in the end? It was my innocent child and lover."
"Why, everyone left me?"
Liu Ming hugged his knees and cried in silence.
"The person who abandoned you is not worth cherishing." Lin Qiang sighed and leaned on the steps, "Liu Ming, have you been here? Haven't you come to me? The world cannot tolerate you. I, Lin Qiang, can do it. What I am in the world. I, Lin Qiang, can do it. I, Lin Qiang, can have love, family, power, money, all of them."
"Those have nothing to do with me anymore..." Liu Ming's head was buried deeper. "Where... I learned about Guo Jiao's miscarriage, I could no longer hold on. I am a coward... I'm sorry... Director Ling. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to you, I'm sorry to everyone..."
Lin Qiang sighed again, and Liu Ming appeared here, proving that the incident had already happened.
The most terrifying interrogation of a long and high pressure is the most terrifying interrogator. Under such pressure, few people may be able to hold on. The bad news of losing the child is the last bullet that defeated Liu Ming. He was completely disappointed and must have said something he didn't want to say.
Under the dual pressure of temptation and disaster, Liu Ming collapsed.
It's obviously only one step away...
If he questioned, complained, scolded, and scolded him at this time, he might even have the desire to commit suicide.
"It's not your fault. If it were me, I might have collapsed earlier." Lin Qiang patted Liu Ming and comforted him, "There is still a chance. It's meaningful to make everyone sacrifice. For this reason, you have lost a child and can't lose more..."
"I have lost more." Liu Ming suddenly punched himself in the face, "Liu Ming! You coward! You beast! You betray the director!"
With muffled sounds, Liu Ming vented everything on himself.
"Liu Ming! Do you think you are very righteous?!"
"What are you!"
"Everyone is betrayal, hahaha!"
"You're gone!"
Lin Qiang could no longer hold back and grabbed Liu Ming's arm with one palm.
"Bastard! Sober!! You should resist at this time! Why do you look like a footer!!"
Liu Ming turned his head slightly and looked at Lin Qiang.
Only then could Lin Qiang see his face clearly.
This is no longer the energetic Liu Ming who used to be. He has white hair, wrinkles, and a sad face. In the hazy moonlight, he has grown old.
"Have you forgotten what you wrote in person?" Lin Qiang said based on his memory—
"Guo Jiao is pregnant!! I am so strong, I have obviously taken safety measures and have been pregnant! Think about it, I should be a father at my age! Guo Jiao, wait for me for three more months, and when this matter is revealed, I will marry you immediately!! Thank you! I will still wait for me in this situation!!"
"Lin Qiang, United Bank, is a good comrade. We cooperate very well. It would be great if he also worked in the Audit Office. I really want to fight side by side with him!"
"A day of excitement! The secret investigation in the past six months is finally coming to fruition! The director hinted that the auditor-general approved an in-depth investigation! I was responsible for drafting the report and preparing to notify the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Economic Investigation Bureau and other departments to jointly arrest the real murderer of the abuse of power and mortgage loans! Wife! I will marry you if I do this big thing! Son! Dad is here!!"
He grabbed Liu Ming's arm tightly, almost bleeding.
"You forgot, I can't forget it. Looking at your diary, I thought of you in prison, optimistic, firm, and stick to what you want to do under any conditions!" Lin Qiang yelled with red eyes, "What do you think can make me stand for so long! Let me fight those bastards? Who do you think gave me the pressure and made me grit my teeth and fight to the death! I inherited you, but now you are so desperate, how do you let me persist?!"
Liu Ming looked at Lin Qiang blankly, and could no longer feel the pain on his arms.
Lin Qiang finally shouted: "You entrust everything to me. If you dare to leave, I will kill you! Liu Ming!"
"I...but...I..." Liu Ming's whole body was shaking, his eyes filled with dozens of complex expressions, "I have...I have betrayed Director Ling... I have taken out something false... It's too late... It's too late. Lin Qiang... Let everything end like this, we lose..."
"Lost? End?" Lin Qiang asked sternly, "Then what's the point of coming here? Why don't you get drunk and jump into the river to commit suicide?!"
"I... come here..." Liu Ming could not answer his question.
"You are unwilling!" Lin Qiang shouted again, "You are desperate, but you are unwilling to end it just like that! So you come to me, you know we still have a chance. You have to convince you alone that even if you are abandoned by the world, you must find the last person who is willing to fight alongside you!"
"I...you..." Liu Ming's body trembled even more violently, "But I'm gone..."
"Then let the person who takes away all this feel the same way." Lin Qiang's face became more and more fierce, and he was like a fierce ghost under the moonlight. "Let the person who takes away your child bear the pain of losing his child; let the person who causes the broken family be separated from his wife and children; let the person who makes you unable to be tolerated by the world be tied to death on the death stake. Shouldn't men do this? Do you still have time to cry?"
Liu Ming was inspired by a series of words and looked at him with a hint of spirit.
However, all this is fleeting.
"Lin Qiang...you don't know how terrible that is..." He trembled, "I thought I could defeat him, Director Ling could defeat him, but the result is...look at us..."
"What's there to see?" Lin Qiang sneered, "You just lost a woman who was not loyal enough and the child in her belly. Don't he. Mom cried like a sissy."
"You... do you fucking understand this feeling!"
"Of course I don't understand, I'm not my father?" Lin Qiang sternly said, "It doesn't matter whether I understand or not. Now I need to let them understand."
"They..." Liu Ming struggled again, "Lin Qiang, we are not facing one person... but..."
"System? Rules? The bottomless vortex?" Lin Qiang chuckled, "I am not a saint, and I have not purified the justice of this world. But I know the truth that we take in balance and chaos, and seek wealth and danger. If we do not break them, how can we ordinary people achieve success! Everything will turn back. After the bottomless vortex is exhausted, it will be our new world."
Under the moonlight, Lin Qiang's eyes became more and more energetic, and he knew that there was a sense of madness.
"This... is you..." Liu Ming was completely stunned.
"It's just a part." Lin Qiang put away his expression and smiled, "Of course justice or something, it's best if you can persist."
"The ambition of the new world..." Liu Ming's tears gradually stopped and he asked slowly, "You are really overestimating your ability..."
In the dim corridor, Lin Qiang hugged Liu Ming again: "Brother, of course I am overestimating myself. If I am overestimating my abilities, I am now locked in prison like Nie Xiaofeng, right? If I am overestimating my abilities, I am still just an ordinary employee now, right? The world forces you to either bear it or resist, I just made my own choice."
Lin Qiang stared at Liu Ming.
"So, now, it's your turn to choose."
"It's a compromise, go back to the Audit Office or be transferred to somewhere to spend your ordinary life, swallowing all the grievances and guilt alone."
"Or fight with your life, fight and regain your own power and wealth."
Lin Qiang's extremely infectious voice reignited the flame in Liu Ming's heart.
His body trembled again, this time trembling with excitement.
"But I have betrayed Director Ling..."
Lin Qiang replied very quickly: "Then go and atone for your sins and save your Director Ling. Guan Yunchang passed five passes and killed six generals in the hinterland of Cao Cao's camp. Zhao Zilong rode alone in Changbanpo for seven in and out, and could break through the dragon pond and tiger den. What are we afraid of?"
