Longmen Memoirs

But he expelled the poor child after all.

He didn't kill him, maybe because of guilt, or maybe someone just made him lose face before he did it.

The deaths of the two people earned Wei Yanwu's kindness.

He just drove him out of the dragon gate and let him fend for himself without interfering. He couldn't deny that he felt disgusted when he saw him and thought of whose blood was flowing in his body.

Wei Yanwu was very aware of the cruelty of this land, even though his body was filled with the supreme blood of Dayan, even though he was really a life pieced together from the flesh and blood of those things.

But it was also difficult for him to survive.

But he survived, once again, beyond Wei Yanwu's expectations. Wei Yanwu was a little unsure, but it did not prevent him from using the remaining value of this disaster.

He didn't understand what he was, and he didn't understand that his appearance made Wei Yanwu have the idea of ​​getting rid of him again, so he sent Su Li to monitor him and kill him at any time.

But he didn't do this after all, and Su Li also concealed his dissatisfaction with himself and Longmen and covered it up for him.

Perhaps it was because of the child's persistence and his feelings for Chen and Xiaota that reminded Wei Yanwu of his sworn brothers and the two people who were willing to die.

Wei Yanwu understood that they were two people after all. At least he did not make their death worthless. He always remembered that his name was Chen Mo, and he always remembered them.

But this is not enough. Wei Yanwu never trusts anyone easily. He also needs to prove it to himself.

Perhaps since then, Wei Yanwu's inner plan has quietly changed.

If it were him, he might be willing to rescue Tallulah, who was deceived by Kosiche.

If it were him, he might be the one responsible for the crime of parricide.

If it were him, he might be able to change the mistakes he made over the years.

He did not disappoint.

He inherited the talents from his father and the tenderness from his mother. This miserable land did not change him and made him sink.

He could still choose, and he did.

He chose to go to Dayan, to accept his fate, to resist his fate, to fulfill the ideals of the infected, and to make up for the mistakes caused by his birth.

He did so.

He didn't feel sorry for anyone. He always shouldered the guilt he had shouldered. He also shouldered the pain of killing Tallulah's father and their mother more than 20 years ago because the person who gave him blood and life killed them. The consequences of birth.

His encounter with them was a coincidence from the beginning, to a twist of fate in the end.

The irresolvable grievances, love and hate, and karma caused by him.

He is making amends and repaying.

What pushed him forward was fate.

Fucking fate.

1Chapter 16 Because none of us can become good people ([-]) Past events

Guards Bureau Headquarters Building, Longmen Chief Executive Office

In front of the door, Chen took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Her fingers gently placed on the handle of Chi Xiao's knife, and then slightly released it. Over the years, only this sharp weapon could bring her some peace and no longer be so confused when she felt irritable at work.

Chen pushed open the door.

Wei Yanwu was sitting behind a large screen. He seemed to have anticipated his arrival. There was no surprise on his face, it was terrifyingly calm.

Footsteps sounded in the quiet and luxuriously decorated office, and then stopped.

Chen Ning looked at Wei Yanwu, and Wei Yanwu was also looking at her.

Outside the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, thousands of lights in Longmen City were dimly lit in the violent storm, and the sound of raindrops could be vaguely heard.

This scene seems familiar.

Two years ago, Chen, who came back from Ursus with his exhausted and unhealed body, had done the same thing in the same place. The only difference from that time was that this time Chen would not do it again. When Wei Yanwu drew his sword, he would not point the sharp blade at him again and question him.

No one knows Wei Yanwu's strength better than Chen.

Chen's superb swordsmanship was taught to him, and Chixiao was once his sword. The world only knew that the leader of Longmen was Wei Yanwu, but they didn't know how strong Wei Yanwu was. No one had ever seen him take action, and naturally, no one could force him. At least not with force.

Chen did not lose her cool. Although her mood was overwhelmingly entangled and angry, she did not lose her mind. Her brain allowed her to make the most correct judgment.

She didn't come to commit murder, nor did she come to seek revenge. She just came to verify the truth, the truth that Wei Yanwu had buried.

"You are very calm. It seems that the experience two years ago has indeed benefited you a lot." Wei Yanwu stared at Chen calmly, with a lot of relief in his eyes.

"You didn't question me right away because you knew it wouldn't do anything."

Chen had to admit that what Wei Yanwu said was true. He didn't want to say anything. No one in this city could force him. Even if a knife was placed across his neck, he would not reveal a word.

"If it gets you talking, I'm happy to do it," Chen said. "But I am no longer the little girl at your mercy, Wei Yanwu. I have the right to know the truth."

"Have you gone to see Talulah?" Wei Yanwu asked, "What did she tell you?"

"A lot." Chen lowered his gaze and said in a low voice: "There are a lot of things that I don't even dare to think about. You have known about them for a long time. You knew but you didn't do anything."

Chen raised her head, and the deep impression that Wei Yanwu left on her in the past of being calm and having everything under control gradually dissipated with Chen's words.

She mocked: "It turns out that you will bow your head, it turns out that you will also be forced to make a choice!"

"Who made you have the illusion that I don't know?" Wei Yanwu asked.

There was no emotion at all because of Chen's ridicule. A brief memory seemed to appear on his face, and he was silent for a while.

"I am not omnipotent, and I will be forced into desperation and have to make a choice, but I will not regret it, nor will I ask anyone to forgive me. I will bear the mistakes myself."

"What are you responsible for!" Chen finally couldn't help but asked: "You don't even dare to take responsibility for your actions. Erase your name, erase your traces, erase your orders, cover up all your actions, this is what you use How to take responsibility? Wei Yanwu, this is really the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life!"

Wei Yanwu did not refute. After Chen's questioning, the man remained silent.

"Okay, let me get straight to the point -" Chen took a deep breath: "Did you kill Tallulah's father?! Did you force our mother to marry that cowardly man?"

"It seems she really told you everything." Wei Yanwu stared at Chen.

"Yes, I understand." Chen smiled softly, his smile full of ridicule: "Master Wei, who controls everything in Longmen, suddenly discovered that the secret he had hidden for many years was no longer a secret?"

"It was Tallulah who told me." Chen's smile calmed down: "Of course, not many people know everything Tallulah knows."

"You will be angry just because you find that this may once again threaten your rule, Cosiche, it has been your nightmare from beginning to end!"

Wei Yanwu didn't answer, he just looked at Chen, with a complex emotion brewing in his red eyes.

"And you have never apologized to Tallulah at all, right?" Chen asked: "Because you are her father-killing enemy! So you didn't do anything!"

"You want to know what Tallulah thinks?"

Wei Yanwu was still silent.

Chen seemed to be venting, venting his dissatisfaction, venting his grievances and hatred.

"Of course she will hate you and this cold city, but her hatred for you cannot compare with her ideals. You have been abandoned by her long ago. Only you, only you, are still immersed in this nightmare. Listen. When you heard this news, did you suddenly feel a lot more relaxed?" Chen grinned and sneered: "It turns out that she no longer hates you for killing her father."

Memories begin to flash back.

The depressing and almost suffocating Chen Mansion appeared in Chen's mind.

【You can't get my love, not at all. 】

[I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I can't stand you. Just seeing you makes me want to scratch my arms. 】

[You all make me unbearable. I'm too selfish. I really can't hold on anymore. 】

[You will understand that one day, if you want to hate, just hate it. I hate you and you hate me. That is the best. 】

The memory in his mind finally ignited Chen's helplessness and unwillingness.

"I remember it very clearly... it was a sunny day, there was no moon that night, there were only a few stars, the old man was holding Tallulah, standing on the other side of the broken bridge, and your back... was covered with people wearing black ponchos, Just like the group of people I met today.”

"What do you want to do again, Wei Yanwu! What do you want to do again!" Chen roared loudly: "Have you not done enough? Look at what you have done!"

The rapid questioning made Chen's breathing become a little violent. Her chest rose and fell, as if she was suppressing the anger in her heart. She looked at Wei Yanwu who said nothing with disappointed eyes, and her shoulders were shaking slightly due to the intense emotions.

After several seconds of silence, Wei Yanwu finally spoke.

He looked at an angry Chen.

"You know almost nothing about everything I have done for Longmen."

Tallulah's father, that man.

[Old Wei, we are...what do you mean, sworn brothers? 】

[So she and my daughter are begging you. 】

[Oh, I feel like it’s unnecessary to tell you this. You can’t even take care of your own sister, right? 】

[I have already decided on my daughter’s name, she will call her... Tallulah. 】

Don't take it too seriously, I understand.

I understand it all.

"Don't sound so noble! Don't let me look down on you. Aren't you the kind of person who can sacrifice anything for your own purposes?" Chen asked: "What and who do you want to sacrifice this time?"

Chen's momentum suddenly collapsed.

"You sacrificed Tallulah's father, our mother, you sacrificed him, what else can't you sacrifice?" Chen said to himself: "I didn't expect that I should have thought of it two years ago... 20 years ago Before, Chen Mo would suddenly leave the orphanage and Tallulah would be taken away."

"I kept thinking about it later." Chen's voice was as low as a whisper: "I kept thinking, if he hadn't left, would Tallulah have stayed? She would have stayed. Only that person can change her. I know that after all, they are so familiar and Tallulah is so dependent on him, Tallulah will stay even for him, because the only person in this city who is willing to accompany her remains by her side."

"But you still took him away." Chen raised his head and looked at Wei Yanwu: "You could have changed these, you could have done better, but you didn't. You could have let them all stay. You were afraid, Wei Yanwu, you were afraid of what?"

"How long are you going to hide these secrets until the day you go to the grave?" Chen said: "The truth is always the truth. What you have done will eventually leave traces in this world. You cannot and cannot Treat it like nothing happened, even if you bury everything, but you did it."

"The only thing I did wrong was to put him and Tallulah in the same orphanage and let you have contact with each other." Wei Yanwu sighed: "This is the stupidest choice I have ever made in my life, and I didn't What is expected is that when you study abroad in Victoria, you will return to Longmen with his child in your belly."

"I should have gotten rid of him the first moment I saw him." Wei Yanwu said, his voice finally showing a hint of old age and fatigue: "But he has a good father, and a couple who are willing to give up their own children for him." &

[My brother Wei Yanwu respectfully expresses his gratitude]

[My brother respectfully expresses his gratitude.

I already know what I mentioned in my letter. I am the capital of a city. I am responsible for consolidating the land and bringing peace to the people. I have the responsibility of revitalizing the country and securing the territory. I have the ambition to protect the land and build the country...

At that time, my parents at home were old and frail, my wife was weak and they had young children. I thought that it was the duty of a military guard to guard the army, and that it was the duty of a soldier to be loyal to the king, so I could not follow my brother's wishes...

Last year, there was a sudden change in Shenjing... I have decided to move my family to Longmen. If I don't think that my talent is mediocre, I should do my best to help my brother. ]

Chen was stunned.

She had never met Chen Mo's father. He only knew from the documents that his parents were ordinary people, but why did Wei Yanwu say that? By the way, he was King Wu, and his parents should not be ordinary people.

Chen seemed to have foreseen a shocking secret. This huge secret shrouded too many past rights and wrongs, making people anxious and afraid to reveal it.

But Superintendent Chen has the right to reveal it.

No one has the right to know this except her.

"What do you mean? Speak clearly!"

Chen's voice was trembling, but she didn't run away.She shouldn't have escaped two years ago, but by then he was dead and nothing else mattered.

Two years later, she didn't allow herself to back down.

Wei Yanwu looked at her.

"...You have indeed grown up, Hui Jie." Wei Yanwu said, his calm eyes gradually softened: "I should hide this secret forever, until the day I die, take it to the grave and let it be buried forever. , but you have grown up, Hui Jie. You have your own family and children."

"There are many things that we can no longer do, and we no longer have the ability to correct them, but you do, you have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and you have the ability to judge good and evil."

At this moment, he finally admitted his aging after seeing Chen Hou.Maybe it was just because he heard that Tallulah no longer hated him, or maybe even Tallulah was on the right path.

(They are still young, and they will make mistakes, but they already have the ability to bear their mistakes. No matter how reluctant and caring the old man is, he will finally let go one day. He cannot keep them forever and correct their mistakes.)

"——You trained me very well." Chen hesitated and said, "Without you, I wouldn't have been able to reach this point on my own."

"That's good." Wei Yanwu nodded and asked, "Do you really want to know? Even if the truth of the matter is crueler than you imagined, even if the truth of the matter sounds too bizarre, even if I may deceive you, you still Want to know?"

"I don't think I can trust you, sir, but it's up to me to judge for myself."

"Okay." Wei Yanwu said, looking at Chen who was standing: "This story is too long to tell. Fortunately, we still have time, so sit down."

"No, I'll just stand and listen." Chen said, perhaps because Wei Yanwu was finally willing to tell the truth, Chen's expression softened: "In total, the words you have said to me in the past ten years may not be as much as what you said this time."
