Staring at the phone screen for a while, I finally decided to give up answering it.

　　I didn't answer because international calls are a bit of a waste. Anyway, it's just some boring topics. Talking back and forth, I can't avoid Lin Hai and Chen Biao. After jumping out of that circle, my mentality has undergone earth-shattering changes.

　　Pei Shi Yu asked me suspiciously, "Why don't you answer the phone?"

　　"It's my brother Xiao Wu's call. After leaving there, I don't want to hear any news anymore."

　　After I explained, Pei Shi Yu didn't say anything. People who walk the same path should understand, after all, we all came out of there.

　　As soon as I put my phone in my pocket, it started vibrating again. I know Xiao Wu as much as Xiao Wu knows me. We usually don't make two consecutive calls if nothing happens. It's also our tacit understanding over the years. As soon as I answered the phone, Xiao Wu's trembling voice came, "Brother Lin, Lin Yang is dead."

　　I was suddenly frightened and didn't speak for several seconds before confirming, "Who?"

　　"Lin Yang!"

　　Xiao Wu didn't say much, but I could still feel his panic. I stopped walking at the same time. I immediately calmed down in the shortest time and asked him very rationally, "It has nothing to do with you, right?"

　　"I don't know if I will be implicated..."

　　I interrupted Xiao Wu and started to raise my voice, "Who did it? Don't you know if you participated in it?"

　　"I really don't know, but it's hard to say whether Chen Biao will frame me."

　　"How did he die?" I finally slowed down and asked the main question.

　　"He was hacked to death."

　　I took a breath. Although I had no feelings for them, I didn't have much hatred for Lin Yang. Besides, he was so young, only twenty-eight years old after the New Year. Such a golden age, and his life is gone?

　　My mood was not only heavy, but I also began to feel sorry for Lin Yang's death. Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Xiao Wu on the other end of the phone asked me, "Where are you now? Do you want to come over?"

　　"I can't come over now, it will take at least more than a day."

　　"Then I'll wait for you to come back."

　　Xiao Wu usually has the mentality that someone will take care of things even if the sky falls, but today the whole process of speaking seems very depressed. Based on my own guess, this matter has something to do with him. If it is a dispute between Chen Biao and Lin Hai, then Lin Yang was probably killed by Chen Biao. Thinking the other way around, Xiao Wu is with Chen Biao, and that old fox will definitely not do it himself. After this reasoning, my back began to sweat.

　　"You don't have to panic. I'm in the United States now. See if there are any flights tonight. If there are, I'll rush back overnight." I started to comfort him.

　　After hanging up the phone, I was still stunned in place like an idiot. Pei Shi Yu, who had been silent, finally asked me, "What's wrong?"

　　I sniffed and replied, "Lin Yang is dead."

　　This time it was Pei Shi Yu who was shocked, and asked in the same tone, "How did he die?"

　　"I don't know yet. Are there any flights back to China tonight?"

　　"What time is it now? Even if you go back, you can't control this matter."

　　"Xiao Wu may be implicated. He has no one in the city."

　　"I think you should not get involved. The police will naturally handle the murder case. If there is really a relationship, you can't escape."

　　Pei Shi Yu changed her previous style. At this moment, I even had a kind of illusion that she was worried about me. I was still quite touched by this mood.

　　So I asked again, "Are there any flights? You won't understand my relationship with Xiao Wu. At least I can give him some psychological comfort if I go."

　　"There must be none tonight. The earliest will be tomorrow morning."

　　"Then book one for me. You have to send me to the airport tomorrow."

　　"I'll go with you tomorrow."

　　I asked her in surprise, "Aren't you going to talk about business?"

　　"Europe is business. This is just to catch up with old friends and send Xiao Long over. I have been cooperating with his business for many years, and it is basically stable."

　　"Then the gift was bought for nothing." I smiled pretending to be relaxed.

　　"You can use the things you bought."

　　That night, we just ate something casually and went back to the hotel. I was no longer in the mood to appreciate this prosperous metropolis because of Xiao Wu's call.

　　I sent Pei Shi Yu to the door of her room. This time, I didn't intend to go in because I still wanted to ask Xiao Wu in detail.

　　As soon as I closed the door, I heard a knock... Pei Shi Yu was outside the door. I quickly stood aside and said, "Come in."

　　She didn't speak after she came in. Her strange behavior made me focus on her. A few strands of hair were blown into a mess by the wind on the way back. I naturally raised my hand to tidy it up.

　　"I was just about to call Xiao Wu to ask about the situation. I would really regret it if something happened." I explained.

　　"Is it related to you?"

　　"He has been following me, and I brought him to Manager Li's side. Xiao Wu is the only son in the family..."

　　I couldn't go on. I was really a little scared. I had already planned in my heart that if I gained a firm foothold in the restaurant, I would bring him over sooner or later. He cooks very well and can also learn to be a chef.

　　"The one who died was Lin Yang. Why are you focusing on him?" Pei Shi Yu asked me in surprise.

　　"It's a pity that Lin Yang died. Although his relationship with Lin Hai is not good, my relationship with Lin Yang is so-so. It's just that there was a conflict at the end of last year, and Lin Hai instigated it."

　　"I'm asking, aren't you sad that Lin Yang died?" Pei Shi Yu corrected my topic.

　　"I can only say that I feel sorry for him. My relationship with him is very weak. Although we are brothers, we have never lived together. It's like they are a whole, and I seem to be redundant. Lin Hai has never had fatherly love for me. Not to mention his wife, my relationship with them is not as good as a stranger. To be sad for others, you must first touch your own heart. Others are so ruthless to me, I can ignore it, but they are different. It feels like you can never step into their door. Anyway, you can't understand the feeling of being discriminated against."

　　"Then why doesn't your mother care about you?" This was the first time Pei Shi Yu asked about it directly.

　　I looked at her without avoiding it, "It's a long story. When Lin Hai and my mother first went to the city, they just opened a small restaurant. Later, Lin Hai thought it was too hard and started his own building materials business. He encountered good opportunities and made a lot of money at that time. He hooked up with Lin Yang's mother while still married. Her belly was already big, but my mother didn't know about it. Since they were divorced, my mother wanted to take me away, but Lin Hai wouldn't let her see me and didn't care about me himself. I find it difficult to understand his behavior. Is he a pervert?"

　　Pei Shi Yu may have just understood my whole life. In the past, she basically learned some untrue information from Manager Li or Lin Hai.
