Chapter 38 Qin Zheng's Confession

The air seemed to freeze.

For a few minutes, both Yun Chuan and Luo Heng were completely speechless, and Yun Chuan couldn't even stand still. He took two steps back and supported the small table to barely support his body.

He looked at Luo Heng, his eyes were full of panic.

The terrifying scene that only appeared in the imagination suddenly became real, and Luo Heng was also caught off guard.He wanted to comfort Yun Chuan, don't be in a hurry, opened his mouth and realized that Qin Zheng was outside——Yun Chuan couldn't hear the voice, but Qin Zheng could hear it, and no one knew what Qin Zheng thought about the two of them. It's hard to say whether my own voice of comfort will become another heart-piercing sword to stimulate Qin Zheng.

He believed in himself, so he was willing to let him go out with Yun Chuan, who was born deaf and had never been out, but when he came back, he found...

Luo Heng took Qin Zheng into him and thought about it. If he were Qin Zheng, he would want to kill someone.

Luo Heng pinched the bridge of his nose and forced himself to calm down.

He pressed Yun Chuan's shoulder, mouthed silently, and said, "You wait for me here first, and I'll have a few words with your father."

Although Yun Chuan was nervous and scared, and didn't know how to face the current situation, he still disagreed when he heard this.He shook his head quickly, too anxious to type, and started to sign again.

Luo Heng didn't have much time to understand what he wanted to express - Qin Zheng was outside the door, and lightly knocked on the door twice.

Luo Heng looked back, sighed, walked over and opened the door.

Qin Zheng seemed to have just picked up the car, his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and there were several small potted plants under his feet, one of which was broken and soil was scattered all over the place.

Luo Heng couldn't see too much emotion from Qin Zheng's face, his expression looked calm, without the expected anger or disappointment.His gaze swept across Luo Heng lightly, and landed on his son's face.

Luo Heng was a little nervous, and he turned his head to look at Yun Chuan who was hiding behind him.

Yun Chuan was very anxious, he walked up to Luo Heng, and hastily made a few hand gestures.It's just that before Luo Heng could understand it, he was interrupted by Qin Zheng.

"Xiao Chuan, I want to have a few words with Xiao Luo alone." Qin Zheng's tone also sounded calm, not in a state of rage at all, "You should avoid it first."

Yun Chuan turned his head to look at Luo Heng, panic and anxiety filled Yuanyuan's eyes.He reached out and grabbed Luo Heng's sleeve, and shook his head slightly towards his father.

To the surprise of both of them, Qin Zheng actually smiled.

"What I want you to avoid is that I don't want you to hear this, and I don't want you to know about this, so I want to talk to Luo Heng alone." Qin Zheng not only smiled, but even spoke in a very relaxed tone, " I just said why you are always clinging to Luo Heng, so there is such a thing."

Yun Chuan bit his lip and looked at him with a pitiful expression.

"You have to let me talk to him, Xiao Chuan." Qin Zheng said again, "I won't beat him or scold him—at my age, I can't beat you young people at all."

After that, he tilted his head towards the door, "Be obedient, wait for me for a while, and then we will go home for dinner together."

Yun Chuan couldn't refuse, so he could only dawdle towards the door.He walked two steps and was about to turn back to look at the two of them, his expression very tangled.

He walked out of the small room and watched Qin Zheng close the door in front of him.

He put his forehead against the door panel, pawing at the door with his fingertips like a kitten scratching at the door.

Yun Chuan, who couldn't hear the sound, still couldn't realize how hard he scratched the door.

When Qin Zheng heard this voice, he had an expression of disbelief on his face.He looked back and asked Luo Heng uncertainly, "Is he scratching the door?"

Luo Heng: "..."

This small episode eased the atmosphere in the room a little.

Qin Zheng pointed to the edge of the table and signaled Luo Heng to sit down.He stared at Luo Heng for a while, and then said thoughtfully: "I just thought you two were weird...so that's why."

Luo Heng said, "Uncle Qin, I—"

Qin Zheng interrupted just after saying a few words: "Wait a minute, listen to me first, anyway, I guess, what you want to say is nothing more than that, why do you really love each other, let me not hinder you, etc. .”

Luo Heng couldn't figure out what he meant, so he could only shut up first.

Qin Zheng thought for a while, as if hesitating where to start.In the end, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "To be honest, I just thought you were getting too close at first, and I didn't think there would be such a reason at all. It's really a bit surprising. But... if you ask me whether I agree or disagree , I actually have no opinion."

He explained with Luo Heng's puzzled expression: "For me, I don't even agree or disagree with whoever Yun Chuan falls in love with. These things are not important to me, the only important thing is me and him , and his mother, our family can live together well, that's the only important thing. Luo Heng, I don't know how much Xiao Chuan told you, but I guess, you know about our family's situation, right?"

Luo Heng nodded hesitantly.

"Yun Chuan is... special, and I was missing for a long time during his growth." Qin Zheng said calmly, "I was missing for six full years."

"I know, I heard from Yun Chuan, I think..."

"You don't fully know, there are many things you don't know." Qin Zheng interrupted, "It's not that I don't want to come back these six years, it's just that I can't come back... I was tricked into a pyramid scheme at that time. It was only rescued a month ago."

With the same expression and tone as usual, he personally revealed the dark experience of the six years in between.

"At that time, I was too impatient, anxious, and needed money. It was too late when I noticed, and I didn't escape." Qin Zheng looked at the air, his expression was still flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, " The management method of that MLM organization is very traditional, which is to cut off all contact with the outside world, beat them if they don’t obey, close the small black room, and don’t give them food. However, this simplest and most primitive method of violence sometimes works the best.”

Luo Heng listened to this in shock, and unconsciously sat up straight.Qin Zheng's tone of voice was so ordinary, but through these simple words, Luo Heng clearly glimpsed the hopeless and helpless life of those years.

"However, these are only the most basic means of control. After staying in it for half a year or a year, people will become numb. At this time, they will no longer use this violent method to coerce you, but switch to another method. method." Qin Zheng's eyes fell on Luo Heng's face, and he asked, "Do you know what it is?"

"Uh..." Luo Heng's voice was hoarse, "What is it?"

Qin Zheng said: "They will invite you to join the management team of this organization and become the "boss" inside. The "boss" only needs to develop offline, complete the "performance indicators" on time every week and every month, no more beatings, no more starvation, and a lot of income. "

Luo Heng unconsciously clenched the seam of his trousers.

He gets it.After several months of inhuman torture, many people's minds will be gradually destroyed, and they will become numb and dull.

At this time, even a little temptation will shake them.

You only need to join them, and you can get rid of the current dark life; as long as you join them, you will no longer be the bottom of the people here; as long as you join them...

"At that time, there were 8 people in the room I lived in. Some of them disappeared suddenly, some... and others chose to join them." Qin Zheng continued, "I remember a person who I was about the same age, had a straight temper, suffered a lot, and almost died several times. Then one day he suddenly told me, join them, and I won’t be beaten again in the future.”

"Uh..." Luo Heng suddenly became nervous. He pressed his hands on the table and got up excitedly. He moved so violently that he even turned over the chair under him, "You, you—"

Qin Zheng looked up at him, and gestured for him to sit down with a flat expression, "He was arrested in the arrest operation a few months ago. Some time ago, Yunyun and I were often called to inquire. Said he was sentenced to three years."

Luo Heng swallowed his saliva, let out a long breath, and sat back on the chair.

"Then what?" he asked.

"The days there actually passed quickly - because you couldn't tell the difference between day and night. Six years sounded like a long time, but I didn't feel it at all, it seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. That person really joined I left them, and then I really left the room we lived in, and I didn’t see him again until I left there.” Qin Zheng said slowly, “I can’t remember many things after that, even after being rescued, There was still a long period of mental trance and memory loss, and even Yunyun didn't know it. I stayed in the hospital for almost a month before I felt that I could come back to see their mother and son. Sometimes I think, if I was like that person back then , I also joined them, what would it be like now? I would have this kind of thought in the most painful time, and even think, at least I have to go out to see them alive, at least I have to tell them that I have not abandoned them. "

Qin Zheng was at a loss for words.He pressed the corners of his eyes, and it took a long time before he continued: "However, every time this kind of thought comes up, no matter how confused or unconscious my head is at that time, I will immediately think of their mother and child, just like a conditioned reflex I would think, they must be looking for me, they must be waiting for me, after searching for so long, waiting for so long, and finally discovering that I have become a criminal engaged in pyramid schemes, how hurtful it is. Thinking of this, I feel, I seem to be able to bear it any longer, I seem to be able to hold on."

Luo Heng thought of the night when Yun Chuan shed tears silently, the family of three clouds that Yun Chuan liked to paint the most, and the melancholy expression that Yun Chuan would show every time he mentioned his father before Qin Zheng came back.

Although he had some guesses about what happened to Qin Zheng over the years, Luo Heng was still shocked when he actually heard Qin Zheng tell these stories with his own ears.In the years when he was abandoned in the eyes of outsiders, although there were complaints and doubts, Yun Chuan still believed more often.

At this moment, Luo Heng actually had the urge to cry.It's great to be able to reunite this family...

"I'm telling you this because I want to tell you..." Qin Zheng continued.

It's just that he stopped after talking halfway, he hesitated again and again, rubbing his face with his palms in confusion, and then continued: "I said it at the beginning, I don't care whether I agree or disagree with your matter-to be honest, After going through all this, I really only care about the health and happiness of their mother and child. Other things, whether they talk about love or get married, are not important. But—"

"No matter what the reason is, I can't make up for the missing six years in the middle. I have no way of knowing what he has endured in these six years. As an elder, as Yunchuan's father, no matter what considerations arise, these It’s not appropriate for me to say anything.”

Qin Zheng's tone finally became turbulent.

Family affection and love can heal all wounds. A man who returns to his wife and son can talk about the painful and inhuman experiences in the past, but he cannot talk about the difficulties that his son's love may encounter in the future .

"He lost his father before. This kind of blow is enough. I don't think he can bear to lose other close people again. This kind of thing can't happen again." Qin Zheng's expression couldn't hide the pain, "You He is older than him, more mature than him, and has seen much more markets than him. I think you must have considered what you will face in the future when you are together. And Yun Chuan... he can't hear the voice, even if he comes back the day after tomorrow How to make up for it, it is difficult to live like an ordinary person, he has no friends, and has not had much contact with the outside world. He knows too little."

At the end, Qin Zheng's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

He looked at Luo Heng with only worry in his eyes, "Have you really considered all of these?"

"Of course I—"

Qin Zheng interrupted him for the first time, "You don't need to answer me in a hurry. As an elder, it is really cheap to say such things to you, even if you think I am threatening you, I will admit it. Luo Heng, you can Think about it slowly, whether you think you have considered it or not, I will not say anything. But if today, or some day later, you tell me that you have considered it, you are willing to bear all the risks and difficulties that may arise in the future, Then you can't leave Yunchuan."

Qin Zheng's face showed a sharpness that Luo Heng had never seen before, "I have nothing but the two of them now, so if someone bullies them, I will fight him hard."

After saying this, Qin Zheng felt relieved, he exhaled heavily, thought of something, shook his head and smiled.

"Tonight's dinner, if you and Yun Chuan feel that you can control it and hide it from Yun Yun, then you can come home and let's treat it as nothing. Anyway, you really take good care of Xiao Chuan, and I am always grateful for that You. If you think about it, then you tell me, let me tell you about Yunyun, you don’t have to worry about her..."

This conversation was interrupted too many times by Qin Zheng, and Luo Heng was also a little irritable.Now that he finally seized an opportunity, he immediately interrupted as if revenge, and said, "No need, I have thought about it a long time ago. Uncle Qin, you are right about one thing. I am older than him, and I know more things than you." He has a lot, so if I don't really think about it, then I won't provoke him."

Luo Heng smiled and said jokingly: "Otherwise, I would be too inhuman."

He quickly put away his smile again, and said to Qin Zheng in the most serious and serious tone: "What difficulties will there be in the future, and what big and insoluble difficulties will there be? No matter how difficult it is, it can be more difficult than yours." Are times more difficult?"

Qin Zheng looked at him unexpectedly.

"It's not very appropriate to say this to an elder, but Uncle Qin, if you can do it, I can do it too." Luo Heng continued, "In such a difficult day, you can rely on the strength of your wife and son. I want to get over it a little bit. Could it be that when I am with Yun Chuan, will I encounter a more difficult situation than you did at that time? If you can do it, I can do it too. Don't look down on people."

Yun Chuan lay prone on the door panel, scratching the wall for a while, and scratching his hands for a while. When the two were talking inside, he was outside for a second.

The little idiot who couldn't hear the sound didn't know that the people inside the door had finished chatting. When the door suddenly opened, he staggered and almost fell on Luo Heng.

Luo Heng hurriedly caught him, and said jokingly, "What are you doing? I just heard you keep making trouble outside the door."

Yun Chuan looked nervously at Luo Heng, then at his father behind him, and was relieved when he saw that the expressions on both of them were normal.

However, he soon became suspicious again.

【what are you guys saying?How did it take so long?Is there anything I can't hear? 】

He moved his hands so fast that there was an afterimage, but Luo Heng couldn't fully understand it, so Qin Zheng simply pretended not to see it, and no one would answer him.

In the end, Qin Zheng just said: "Okay, there are so many problems, let's go home and have dinner."

After finishing speaking, he walked to Yun Chuan and pushed Luo Heng away to let him go to the back.

Anyway, it's a bit embarrassing...

After walking a few steps, Luo Heng suddenly said a word.

"Uncle Qin, there is one thing I don't agree with what you said." He said, "Yun Chuan may have little contact with the outside world, but he knows a lot. He is simple-minded, but also very strong. The place where you are not He must have had a tough few years, but nothing beat him. I'm not leaving him, not because he's weak, or because he can't live without me. You know what I mean?"

Qin Zheng's footsteps stopped.He looked back at Luo Heng who was walking behind alone, and nodded slightly.
