Chapter 212 Meeting the Parents
After the thunderbolt hit his face, Su Chengyi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, despite the huge emotional impact.
The more times like this, the more calm you have to be.
If you lose control at this point in time, you will not be able to get more effective information from Li Lu.
“What exactly happened?”
Su Chengyi's tone was calm, as if he was asking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Li Lu was indeed observing his expression, and after making sure that he was as usual, she replied:
"I just found out that she was absent from all the exams. I can't contact her now. The number she gave me as a parent has always been empty."
Su Chengyi took out her mobile phone, and the chat interface between the two of them only stayed on the sentence "good night" she sent last night.
"Don't worry, I will contact you later. She has been in this situation before at school, and maybe she decided to give up the college entrance examination at the last moment."
Li Lu opened the student information form and prepared to look up the student's address.
"Don't worry, teacher, the parents' numbers are fake, how can the address be real?"
Su Chengyi lowered his head, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.
The calmer he looks on the surface at this moment, the more turbulent he is inside.
Probably not a debt collector.
In the past few days, Brother Xiaofei would send him messages and reports every day. People watching nearby said that the group had never been here.
I guess I really feel that there is no oil or water to squeeze out.
As for the temporary decision to give up the college entrance examination, it is even more impossible.
Su Chengyi didn’t believe this possibility at all.
If Chen Jinzhi had been ready to give up a long time ago, how could he still be in this learning state during the last period?
Studying questions and endorsements day and night, just for something that you have already decided to give up?
Then there is only one reason left.
"I know."
Su Chengyi made up his mind, but didn't show it on his face, just nodded towards Li Lu.
“Leave this matter to the teacher and the school to deal with it later. The reason will be figured out. Don’t be impulsive.”
Li Lu frowned, with a bit of worry in her eyes.
Looks like it’s not that easy to escape.
Su Chengyi still just nodded lightly.
When we returned to the crowd, everyone was still happily discussing tonight's activities.
Su Chengyi stood not far away and hooked his hand at Xu Yang.
"What's the matter, Mr. Yi?"
Xu Yang was smiling, but when he saw his expression, he suddenly felt something strange.
"Help me take off my schoolbag. If Teacher Li asks later, he will say that I went to the toilet."
"Yeah, okay."
Although I don't know What happened? But since it was Su Chengyi's request, Xu Yang of course patted his chest and made a guarantee.
Su Chengyi patted him on the shoulder, walked quickly through the chaotic crowd, and went straight to the taxi at the door.
"Oliver Road bus stop. Master, please hurry up."
The taxi driver is very capable, and the speed is already the limit in the urban area.
Su Chengyi always felt that it was not fast enough.
It seems like something is slipping through my fingers at a fast speed. No matter how hard I try to catch it, it’s useless.
Chen Jinzhi did not come to take the college entrance examination.
What does it mean? It means that the efforts of the past few months have been in vain.
It’s like having been a trainee for four years and suddenly stopped counting the night before his debut.
This time, she is back to where she started.
“We’re here.”
As soon as the driver said this, before the car came to a complete stop, there was the sound of the door opening coming from the back seat.
“This child is so impatient that he wants to evade the bill, right? There is no charge for college entrance examination students today.”
The driver smiled helplessly, but when he turned around again, he saw that there was no charge on the seat. Lying there is a brand new red banknote.
Su Chengyi just walked quickly at first, and then he started running uncontrollably.
The sunset was blood red, reflecting the whole street into a magnificent golden color, stretching his figure very long.
When I finally stood at the familiar gate, the first thing I saw was a few bags of messy garbage piled at the door.
The takeout box was not sealed and oil was leaking all over the floor.
None of the beer bottles were intact, and green glass fragments were everywhere.
The rotten fruits were thrown away randomly, and flies were buzzing around them.
If Chen Jinzhi were here, he would never let his doorstep become like this.
Su Chengyi glanced in through the railing and saw that the light in the living room was on.
He looked up and saw that the wall was not high.
The outer walls of this kind of building are generally just for appearance.
Su Chengyi did not hesitate. Taking advantage of the fact that no passers-by were facing this way, he grabbed the gap in the railing and turned over.
Stepping on the overgrown ground, we groped our way to the door of the third floor.
I leaned against the wall and listened for a while. The sound of the TV was turned up very loud, and it seemed that some game was being played.
Complemented by this was the sound of the bottom of a beer bottle hitting the table, and someone burping from time to time.
Su Chengyi closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.
No matter what, the answer is right in front of you, and you can’t let it slip at this time.
He turned on his phone and entered the eleven-digit phone number that he knew by heart.
A harsh cell phone ringtone came from inside the house, followed by a middle-aged man's cursing voice. When he realized it was an unfamiliar number, he immediately chose to hang up.
Most likely I thought it was a debt collector.
Su Chengyi looked at the call termination interface on the screen, thought about it, edited a text message and sent it.
“Hello, the call I just gave you was not connected.
This is Shunfeng Express Service Center.
Mr. Chen Wende, you have an express delivery that needs to be signed for in person.
If you are not the person, please ignore it. ”
After the sending was completed, he immediately dialed the number again.
This time, perhaps because he saw the text message, Chen Wende did not choose to hang up and picked up the answer impatiently:< br>
“Hello? ”
Across the wall, Su Chengyi could smell the disgusting smell of alcohol on his body, but he still said politely:
"Hello, Shunfeng Express, is this Mr. Chen Wende?"
"Yes, what kind of express delivery? I have never bought anything."
"It is sent from Yangcheng. The sender's surname is Su. It is urgent. Please sign for it in person and confirm it."< br>
“What’s wrong with you couriers? Can’t you just leave it at the door? You have to sign for it yourself, pretending it’s 2,580,000 yuan. That’s stupid.”
Although Chen Wende was cursing, Su Chengyi had already heard him getting up from the sofa.
"Trouble."
After Su Chengyi said these three words, he pressed the hang up button with an expressionless face.
Listening to the sound of the old security door unlocking, Su Chengyi untied the strap of the old quartz watch on his wrist.
Didn’t put it back in his pocket, but slowly wrapped it around his finger.
The moment Chen Wende showed his head, his vision went dark and his ears buzzed.
Something hard hit him hard on the face. The sharp fragments cracked and the thorns pierced the skin. For a moment, the taste of blood filled the mouth.
The next step was another kick to the abdomen. Before he could see clearly who was coming, he fell back uncontrollably and fell to the ground.
In his drunken state, he was already a little confused. After being hit twice like this, Chen Wende had no strength to resist and could only breathe heavily.
Su Chengyi followed him in and closed the door behind him.
The expression on his face remained calm, and only his slightly trembling fingers showed his somewhat out-of-control emotions.
Looking at Chen Wende lying on the ground, clutching his abdomen and screaming in pain, there was no trace of pity in his eyes. He just took two steps forward, grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
"Where is Chen Jinzhi?"
Hearing his question, the struggling man on the ground couldn't help laughing as if he had heard a joke.
"Who am I to be? I'm a hairy boy who wants to find her? Okay, I'll pay you over there." Su Chengyi listened to what he said and raised his finger to see that it was broken. The cracked dial was punched again.
"Where is she now?"
Chen Wende spat out his broken teeth and struggled to open his eyes, his eyes full of teasing.
"If you have the guts, hit me again. I will tell you never to see her in your next life."
Su Chengyi was silent for a moment, took out a few banknotes from his pocket, and crumpled them into a handful. , pinched his chin and stuffed it into his bloody mouth.
There was a box of beer piled at his feet. Su Chengyi picked up a bottle, broke the mouth of the bottle, and poured the bubbling beer into his mouth, which was stuffed with banknotes.
Chen Wende didn't have any sense of shame at being insulted. Instead, he swallowed the wet money like this, his smile approaching madness.
"Hey, I didn't tell you earlier that I knew a rich guy like you. Do you think it's a big deal? This is causing a lot of trouble!"
Before he finished speaking, Su Chengyi had already The uneven mouth of the beer bottle he had just opened dug into his palm.
It was only then that he realized that the fingers on his left hand had completely disappeared, leaving only a bare palm, which was bleeding out at the moment.
"I know so many rich people and can ask for my life-saving money as soon as I ask for it. Why shouldn't she ask for it?"
It seems that Su Chengyi's surprised look touched the sore spot, and Chen Wende finally showed something in his eyes. Share hatred.
"Let me be like this, okay, she won't even think about it. Ha, you want to fly away? Fly on a branch and become a phoenix? Is it possible?"
"The mother of a madman's daughter too He's a lunatic, and he looks exactly the same. It makes me sick even if I look at him again."
"Why didn't we just die together?"
Su Chengyi felt that even the last string of sanity that had been left was broken.
So this incident was really caused by Chen Wende.
Chen Jinzhi didn't help him borrow money to pay off his debts. He held a grudge and sabotaged Chen Jinzhi's college entrance examination.
Su Chengyi stood up and stepped on Chen Wende's face.
Seeing the blood spit out from the corner of his mouth soaking into the cracks of the floor, Su Chengyi turned around and went to the kitchen.
When I came back, I had a clean and reflective weapon in my hand.
“What do you want to do?”
Chen Wende seemed not to have expected that this young man would be so cruel.
"Make you look more symmetrical."
Su Chengyi bent her knees, pressing on his elbow, forcing the fingers of his right hand to spread.
"You're fucking crazy, do you want to go to jail?"
Chen Wende couldn't help but shouted hoarsely in disbelief.
"Okay, do you need my help to call the police?"
Su Chengyi moved his wrist.
"Do you dare? Is the law effective for you, a scum in the gutter?"
Su Chengyi looked down at him from a high position, his face reflecting the cold light of a sharp weapon.
Chen Wende suddenly felt that he would do what he said.
"Let me ask you for the last time, where is Chen Jinzhi?"
Su Chengyi suppressed the anger in his chest and asked for the last time.
There is no way, Chen Wende has really grasped his weakness.
But if this is the result and something happens to Chen Jinzhi, he will definitely let the damned person die now.
Chen Wende seemed to have awakened the last arrogance before execution, and said tremblingly:
"Want to know? In the next life."
So Su Chengyi no longer hesitated, and was about to When he raised the knife and dropped it, there was a sudden "clang" from the door of another room, followed by a woman's sharp scream.
Su Chengyi raised his eyes and saw that it was the so-called aunt in Chen Jinzhi's mouth.
She was carrying a washbasin and seemed to have just come out of the shower. She was so frightened that her face was completely pale and she was screaming uncontrollably.
Su Chengyi lowered his head and saw that Chen Wende on the ground had his eyes closed tightly and seemed to have fainted from fright.
He stood up and walked towards the woman.
Behind the woman was the bathroom. Before she turned around and ran two steps, she slipped to the ground and crawled into the corner, unable to retreat.
The boy who walked in was covered in blood, holding a bright knife in his hand. The man in the living room was lying on his back, and it was difficult to tell whether he was alive or dead.
The woman was trembling all over, and she only had the strength to cry.
"Shut up."
After Su Chengyi finished speaking, he immediately realized that she might not understand, so he changed the language:
"ShutuporI'll killyoufuckingbitch. (Shut up) Mouth, otherwise I will kill you.)"
The woman seemed to understand and nodded hurriedly.
Then, before he could speak, she pointed to the upstairs tremblingly and said inarticulately:
"Debt. Debt Mountain Building."
Su Chengyi frowned,< br>
“Third floor?”
The moment the woman nodded, Su Chengyi turned around and ran out.
After passing the second floor that looked like a serious bedroom, the third floor left for Chen Jinzhi was an extremely dilapidated attic.
The railings are in disrepair and are crumbling at the slightest touch.
The wooden door looked very unstable. Su Chengyi pushed hard several times, but there was no sign of opening.
"Chen Jinzhi?"
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
No response.
Somehow he felt that Chen Jinzhi must be inside.
"Chen Jinzhi!"
Su Chengyi had no idea before that she could make such a hoarse voice.
Still no response.
The bad premonition became stronger.
He took a few steps back, took a running start, raised his foot and kicked hard.
This time I realized that there seemed to be something heavy blocked behind the door.
Su Chengyi changed his mind, grabbed the old bench next to him and started smashing the upper half of the door panel.
Fortunately, the wooden door was too old, and soon a crack opened. He grabbed the wooden board and broke it open with his bare hands.
The sawdust stuck into his hand, and he seemed unaware. He just used force to remove the upper half of the door panel, and then he saw the scene inside.
The house was in a mess, and Chen Jinzhi was nowhere to be seen.
The bed was moved to the door to block the door. Su Chengyi leaned over and got in through the hole he made.
There are broken white porcelain pieces on the ground, and a blue word "heat" can be seen on the slightly larger piece.
Ah, it’s the “drink more hot water” cup I bought at the boutique in front of the school.
Su Chengyi stepped on the porcelain pieces and walked inside.
There was no decent desk in the room. There were several textbooks and an open black notebook piled on the edge of the window sill.
He knew without looking at the content that it was art school information he had summarized page by page.
It is no longer useful now.
Seeing these things at this time, Su Chengyi suddenly felt a little breathless.
Where is Chen Jinzhi?
He turned around in a daze and saw the wardrobe on the other side of the room.
Stumbled over and opened the cabinet door. His knees softened and he almost fell to his knees.
Chen Jinzhi was huddled in the corner, his face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, and every part of his body that could be seen was covered with bruises and bruises.
The skin on my forehead is wrinkled and my body temperature is very cold.
It's a sign of dehydration.
Su Chengyi held her wrist with trembling hands.
After catching a weak pulse, the "rumbling" sound in his ears finally fell silent, and he heard his own voice calling for an ambulance again.
