Xu Zhe: "It's okay, just tell me his phone number. You know I can use a computer, maybe I can try other ways to find him."

Upon hearing this, Song Xingye quickly reported his father's mobile phone number, and then couldn't help but ask: "Are you using the Internet? Can you find him even if you turn off your phone?"

Xu Zhe didn't dare to guarantee it: "Let's try. I'll do my best."

Then he hung up the phone and walked out the door.

Xu Zhe didn't have the ability to find out where someone was through a turned-off phone. After all, he wasn't a hacker. He was just using the information from his previous life to try to change things.

Arriving at the gate of the community, he hailed a taxi, sat in it, and said, "Let's go to Xijiao Reservoir."

The driver was a little confused: "It's late, what are you doing there?"

Xu Zhe: "I can't help it. I have something urgent to do."

The driver glanced through the rearview mirror and reminded him, "No one is usually at the reservoir, what could possibly happen there? Young man, have you been deceived by someone?"

Xu Zhe took out a hundred-dollar bill and said, "That should be enough."

Driver: "That's enough, but I'm telling you this out of kindness..."

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I mean well, too."

Chapter 103 Kill that SJZ guy

2023-09-06

When Song Huaifeng walked to the edge of the reservoir dam, it was already dark.

Walking all the way from the city, he almost watched the sun set little by little, getting lower and lower above the road ahead of him.

At first, Song Huaifeng hadn't figured out where he was going. He just didn't want to leave any more traces, and didn't want to be too close to his daily life, so he didn't drive or take a car, but walked towards the sun step by step.

Just like Kuafu chasing the sun and destroying himself.

He knew that in the eyes of some of his friends, his life was actually not bad. He had a decent job, was married to a smart and capable wife, Li Caixia, and had a clever and sensible daughter, Song Xingye... Indeed, if it weren't for a series of events that had happened this year, things would have been very good.

But the problem doesn't seem to be happening just this year.

As an engineering student more than a decade ago, Song Huaifeng had a bright future. After graduation, he entered the research institute and occasionally worked as a technical consultant in some factories. But in recent years, his career has become less and less successful.

Because Song Huaifeng's professional field is the cathode ray tube used in television.

When he was in college, this was still considered high-tech in everyone's eyes, and it was a "bottleneck" technology field that the country had to work hard to overcome. However, just a few years ago, it seemed that no one paid attention to the cathode ray tube anymore, and the technology that attracted everyone's attention became the liquid crystal display panel.

All the collaborations he led fell through, and the factories either closed down or transformed, with only a small number still surviving.

Song Huaifeng asked himself if he had made any mistakes at work, whether in the research institute or in the factories he cooperated with. But somehow, it seemed that society no longer needed his profession.

His interpersonal relationships in the college were also average, especially in the eyes of the leaders, who regarded him as a typical person who was hard to get along with. When the college was adjusted, he had several conflicts with the leaders and was completely squeezed out.

Of course, even though he was fired, the company gave him a generous compensation. Song Huaifeng used the money to invest in the stock market and made a lot of money. He once thought that he could make investment his new career for the rest of his life. He even thought that when he made two million, he would take the money home and tell his wife and daughter that he was already a professional investor!

But what happened later?

I was not making enough money in the stock market, so I entered the futures market. Then, it was like a dream, gone in the blink of an eye.

"Hehehe..."

Song Huaifeng stood on the embankment and lowered his head to see a slope extending from his feet to below the water surface.

There were twinkling lights in the distance, and the moonlight was getting brighter overhead, so his vision was not completely dark. And his ears were not as quiet as he expected. In addition to the faint sound of the waves, there was also the sound of cars passing by...

car?

Song Huaifeng looked back and saw a taxi parked outside the embankment. Then, a teenager who seemed to be only in his teens got out of the car, looked over here, and walked over quickly.

The young man walked up a set of steps and soon reached the embankment and stood in front of Song Huaifeng.

"Hello, sir, what's your name?" the young man asked as soon as he came up.

Song Huaifeng glanced at him, then looked at the water, and did not answer. The meaning of not answering was very simple, that is, he did not want to communicate and hoped that the other party would give up.

But the boy persisted and continued to ask: "Is your last name Song?"

Song Huaifeng finally responded positively, but still did not speak - he nodded silently.

The boy continued, "My name is Xu Zhe. I'm Song Xingye's classmate and also her friend. Her mother found the suicide note and has called the police. She's very worried about her father, so she asked us friends to help her find him."

Song Huaifeng could no longer remain cold and hard. His eyebrows knitted deeply, and he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Xu Zhe continued, "On the way here, I called Song Xingye again and asked about her father's occupation. He said he worked in a research institute and was considered a technical R&D staff member. His status and income were not low, right? But I also asked about the field her father was researching. Television picture tubes. Oh, then I understand. This is the ant that accidentally blocked the wheel of time."

Song Huaifeng murmured: "Ants..."

Xu Zhe: "Under the wheel of time, not to mention an individual, a group of people, or a city, they are all very insignificant. If you choose the wrong direction, it is easy to be crushed to pieces. If I remember correctly, good students 20 or 30 years ago were happy to go to technical schools and become workers. What about now?"

Song Huaifeng said in a deep voice: "What do you want to say?"

Xu Zhe: "I want to say that unemployment is not necessarily an individual problem, because no one knows what the future will be like. It's just that some people bet right and some people lose, that's all."

Song Huaifeng sneered, "Yes, I lost, and lost miserably. Not only did I lose my job, but every step I took this year was wrong."

Xu Zhe: "Because you invested in futures, right?"

Song Huaifeng: "Little friend, don't point fingers in front of me, you don't know anything..."

"You really want to die, so why do you still care about your face?" Xu Zhe interrupted, "Actually, I'm a little curious, what was the ratio of your margin to your principal when you entered the market?"

"More than 80 percent."

Xu Zhe: "...I see. You are really brave. Did you add more margin?"

Song Huaifeng: "Yes, I borrowed some money from others. You are right. I have nothing to hide anymore. It doesn't matter if I tell you."

Xu Zhe: "You have nothing to hide, but you don't dare to face your wife and daughter, right?"

This time, Song Huaifeng was really silent.

The middle-aged man gradually bent his back, half turned around, and faced the reservoir.

The moonlight sprinkled on the water, and was broken into countless pieces by the waves blown by the wind, making people who looked directly at it dizzy.

Song Huaifeng clenched his fists, pounded them on his knees, and then yelled:

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

There was no meaning at all, just a howl like that of a wild beast.

Xu Zhe couldn't help but take a half step back, his face slightly moved. Of course, he could see that this uncle's mentality had already completely collapsed.

"This world has many standards for what it means to be a man. You have to earn money to support your family, have a successful career, and be respected. If you can't do that, you're incompetent. But this is just imposed by the outside world..."

Xu Zhe tried to counsel the man the same way he counselled his daughter, but before he could finish his words, the man took a step forward as if he had been electrocuted and ran wildly towards the water under the embankment.

How do you stop a person from dying?

In other words, how can one watch someone die in front of him/her with peace of mind?

Xu Zhe couldn't do it, so in a hurry he made up his mind and did something else.

He sprinted after him with all his strength and kicked the man hard on the butt!

Song Huaifeng was obviously stunned by the kick. He lost his balance, tumbled awkwardly, and fell into the water. Then, he subconsciously struggled to float up and glared at the brat who had just kicked him.

The kick was very powerful, and coupled with the previous sprint of the chase, Xu Zhe couldn't help but gasp.

Two men, one big and one small, just looked at each other speechlessly under the moonlight.

Chapter 104 Thank You

2023-09-06

Song Huaifeng was completely upset by Xu Zhe's disturbance. He was just about to end it all, but ended up getting kicked in the ass by a brat. What was going on?

Out of human instinct, Song Huaifeng was a little angry.

But Xu Zhe just took a few breaths, then strode down the slope, walked to the water's edge, and grabbed the man by the collar.

Song Huaifeng shouted subconsciously: "What are you doing!"

Xu Zhe did not explain, but pulled him out of the water and threw him on the concrete slope. Then, he punched him without mercy!

Song Huaifeng had no time to dodge, let alone use his arms to block it, so he could only close his eyes and take the blow forcefully.

Then he subconsciously tried to struggle to get up, but was held down by both hands.

Although Xu Zhe is only a junior high school student, he has developed and exercised well this year. Song Huaifeng, on the other hand, is an adult, but he has neglected exercise, and after walking all the way today, his body has accumulated a lot of fatigue.

So even if I struggle, I can't exert much strength.

After the punch, Xu Zhe held him down with both hands and said, "Don't take yourself too seriously. You must first understand that in this world, everything you have is dust, everything you say is noise, and everything you have done will not leave any trace. Life is meaningless, and all the so-called meaning is imposed on you by others, and it is all nothingness."

Song Huaifeng gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want to say?"

Xu Zhe: "The only thing you own is yourself, right now, yourself. Don't destroy the only thing you own for meaningless things. Why do we say that fame and fortune are like dust and money is something outside of the body? Because apart from yourself, you actually own nothing. Is the money in your account yours? Is the house and car you bought yours? No, you only own your own feelings."

Song Huaifeng: "There's nothing I want to feel in this world..."

Xu Zhe: "That's because you haven't really felt it! Come, come and fight me and you'll know."

Song Huaifeng: "Why do we have to fight?"

"Have you ever seen a movie called Fight Club... No? It's okay, come on."

Having said that, Xu Zhe loosened his hands, pointed to his chest, and then opened his arms to show that he was not on guard at all.

Song Huaifeng: "I have no reason to hit you."

Xu Zhe sneered, "I beat you up, but you have no reason to beat me up?"

Song Huaifeng shook his head: "I understand you tried to save me, but..."

"No, you don't understand anything," Xu Zhe smiled evilly, "What will happen after you die tonight? I tell you, I will take advantage of Song Xingye's most vulnerable time to get close to her, and then she will do whatever I want..."

Hearing this, Song Huaifeng finally couldn't help it and punched Xu Zhe in the chest.

But the boy was prepared. Although he didn't dodge or block, he just leaned back when he was hit, which buffered some of the force. His chest hurt, but it was far from enough to cause injury.

Of course, he couldn't keep his balance anymore and fell backwards into the water.

Song Huaifeng sat up, looking at the floating boy and the ripples spreading around him, breathing heavily, feeling confused and angry.

But Xu Zhe rushed over again and punched him on the shoulder.

Song Huaifeng's anger was finally aroused, and he wrestled with the boy. However, the shorter one was obviously the one with a stronger body and more physical strength.

Even though he was nearly a head shorter than the other man, Xu Zhe pinned him down and gave him a good beating.

Song Huaifeng struggled but couldn't move anymore, he roared: "How did Xingye provoke you, why are you talking about her?"

Xu Zhe was also angry: "You still care about your daughter? Damn it, you are a father. If you really care, you can take care of her yourself in the future! Do you know how much work I have to do? This kind of thing Don’t even think about leaving your trouble to me!”

After yelling at each other, both of them were silent for a long time. It was as if their anger and physical strength were all used up at the same time - of course, Xu Zhe still had enough physical strength to suppress the other party.

Because he had rolled in the water before, Song Huaifeng's clothes and hair were wet, and there were small water droplets on his face.

Xu Zhe knew that he must be in the same state of distress now. But when he noticed the water droplets on the man's face, he suddenly realized that the man was crying.

The moonlight seems to amplify the fragility in tears.

Song Huaifeng was crying silently with tears in his eyes, but his facial expression was a little distorted and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn down.
