Chapter 417 [Baidao] (Part 2)

Zhang Yang shook the rain on his body, and the rain outside became heavier. Zhang Yang said, "Please, I wonder if the boss who rented the boat will come to save us?"

Zhu Qiaoyun said: "Do you need someone else to rescue me?"

She pulled the bag apart, and everything was camping inside. It seemed that Zhu Qiaoyun had prepared it in advance. Zhu Qiaoyun said: "If the storm is too heavy today, we won't go back!"

Zhang Yang nodded, remembering the purpose of his visit: "Didn't you bring me here to find evidence?"

Zhu Qiaoyun said, "Yes!" She stood up and looked around the stone house, and whispered: "A squad of the People's Liberation Army was stationed here in the past, and it was withdrawn after the Cultural Revolution. Since then, no one has cared about this North Island."

The typhoon was blowing heavy rain and swept in from the broken doors and windows. The two came to the corner of the wall. Zhu Qiaoyun took out a camping kettle and burned a pot of boiling water with a small gas stove. At this moment, Zhang Yang had used his internal force to steam all the wet clothes all over his body.

Zhu Qiaoyun didn't have the ability to Zhang Yang. She set up a tent in the stone house and hid in to change into dry clothes.

When I came out, I was wearing camouflage pants, a tight black vest, and a saber was inserted on the wide belt around my waist, just like a female special forces soldier.

Zhang Yang poured a glass of boiling water and drank it, "Where is the evidence?"

Zhu Qiaoyun said: "On my sister's fifteenth birthday, my father brought us here. At ten o'clock, we were playing games outside the door together, and in the queue, a brown image suddenly appeared in Zhu Qiaoyun's mind...

…”121,121,121! Stand at attention! Take a break!" Zhu Qiaoyun, who was strapping with two horns to argue, asked dissatisfiedly: “Sister, why do you always shout slogans?”

"I am your sister, I am older than you, so I want to lead you. I am a general, you are a soldier!"

"No, I don't want to be a soldier forever, I want to be a general."

"Okay, when you grow up and you are taller than me, I will let you be a general..."

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiaoyun smiled knowingly on the corners of her lips.

Zhang Yang said: "So that's what 121 means, but what about 43?"

Speaking of this number, Zhu Qiaoyun's pretty face suddenly had a layer of sadness: "43 is my father's age. Shortly after he went back that day, he died in a car accident."

Zhang Yang whispered: "I'm sorry!"

Zhu Qiaoyun shook her head: "It's nothing, fifteen years have passed, and I have forgotten it." The temperature inside was a little cold, and Zhu Qiaoyun pointed to the door panel: "Break open and make a fire, it will be even colder at night." The wind and waves outside were high and turbulent, and they seemed to be unable to go back today.

Zhang Yang nodded, took the camping axe handed to him by Zhu Qiaoyun, and split the door panel in a few seconds. In fact, with his skills, he didn't need to use the axe at all, but it would be better to restrain himself in front of Zhu Qiaoyun.

Zhu Qiaoyun's outdoor experience is much better than Zhang Yang, and she quickly lit the fire. She baked the wet clothes she had just changed into by the bonfire.

The wind and rain outside were getting heavier and heavier. The strong wind mixed with rainstorms passed through the woods, making a low roar, like a beast roar. Zhang Yang came to the broken doorway and looked at the sea in the distance. Although his eyesight was very strong, he could not penetrate the layers of rain and fog and see a further place. Zhang Yang said: "Where is the evidence you are talking about?"

Zhu Qiaoyun said: "That day, my sister and I played a treasure hiding game. She was responsible for hiding and I was responsible for finding it. In the end, I couldn't find it. It was before leaving Beidao that my sister revealed this secret."

Zhang Yang said with great interest: "Where is he hiding?"

Zhu Qiaoyun said: "There was a lighthouse on the right side of the outpost. It collapsed during the Cultural Revolution, and my sister hid the things in the soil next to the lighthouse."

Zhang Yang said: "Let's go and have a look!"

Zhu Qiaoyun nodded and put on a raincoat. Zhang Yang was not as well prepared as she did. She followed her into the storm and rain in a T-shirt and jeans.

The wind was already very strong. Zhang Yang was worried that Zhu Qiaoyun would be blown away by the sea breeze, so he grabbed her arm. The two of them came to the lighthouse ruins next to him by the cement wall. But when they came here, Zhang Yang was stunned again. The ruins were so large, with hundreds of square meters. Even if Zhu Qiaoyue hid the evidence here, they would not be able to read it all over.

Zhu Qiaoyun stood at the center of the ruins, took out a compass from her hand, placed it flat in her hand, then raised her wrist, watched the pointer of the diving watch, and turned the pointer to ten o'clock. The hour hand coincided with the north, and determined the position where the minute hand pointed. She pointed her hand at that direction and walked over quickly.

Zhang Yang looked around and secretly admired him. This was the first time he had seen this method of hiding things. However, these secrets belong to them and sisters, and outsiders could not interpret the true meaning from any set of numbers.

Zhu Qiaoyun came to the cornerstone of the ruins and dug down with a camping axe.

Zhang Yang volunteered, "I'll do it!" He took the camping axe and started digging in the wind and rain. Soon after, he dug a hard thing and could feel that it should be an object like metal.

Zhang Yang dug out the surrounding soil, then opened it with his hands, and soon, an aluminum box was dug out from below, wrapped in a plastic bag. Through the plastic bag, you can see that there was a photo of the sisters who were kids sticking on the aluminum box.

Zhu Qiaoyun's eyes turned red when she saw the photo. She took the aluminum box from Zhang Yang's hand and hugged it tightly in her arms. Tears kept falling.

Zhang Yang raised his voice and said, "Let's go back quickly and don't stand here and get wet in the rain!"

Zhu Qiaoyun nodded and returned to the stone house under Zhang Yang's escort. The bonfire in the stone house was almost burning out. Zhang Yang took a camping axe and split the broken cabinet in the room, making the fire stronger again. At this moment, Zhang Yang successfully steamed his clothes again. He was very strong and he was very comfortable to do anything. Everyone could do it. But for such efficient, he searched all over the world. Zhang Daguanren is the only one here.

Zhu Qiaoyun got into the tent and changed the dried clothes. She had not opened the aluminum box for a long time. Zhang Yang couldn't help it: "What, don't you look at what's inside?"

Zhu Qiaoyun said: "I am thinking of my sister!"

Zhang Yang said, "Then think about it for a while, we can't go back for a while, I'll take a look at the scenery!" Zhang Yang walked to the door and looked at the sea surging outside. The rain seemed to be a little lighter, but the wind was even stronger. Zhang Yang stretched his arm and suddenly remembered a question, I really want to spend the night with Zhu Qiaoyun on the island tonight.

Zhu Qiaoyun still didn't open the aluminum box. She calmed down now. She put the aluminum box aside, took out the food from her backpack, waved her hand to Zhang Yang and said, "Come and eat something!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I'm really a little hungry!"

Zhu Qiaoyun brought a lot of food, including roast chicken, beef, canned anchovies, and even brought a small stainless steel wine pot. She took a sip on it herself and handed it to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang was not polite, so he looked up and took a big sip. Unexpectedly, it was actually filled with Erguotou. Zhang Yang pursed his lips and said, "Erguotou, you a big girl drink such a strong wine?"

Zhu Qiaoyun said: "I rarely drink, and I bring a wine pot to keep the cold."

Zhang Yang said curiously: "What are you doing in Australia?"

Zhu Qiaoyun said: "I study marine life and most of the time I spend doing research at sea."

Zhang Yang said: "Why did you choose such a job?"

Zhu Qiaoyun said: "I always feel that dealing with animals is much easier than dealing with humans." She put instant noodles in the small pot.

Zhang Yang used a small knife and fork to make a piece of beef: "Humans are also animals!"

"Man is the cruelest animal in the world!"

Zhang Yang didn't say anything and took another sip of wine. The wind and rain outside became heavier, and the sky almost dimmed in an instant. The night had quietly fallen to Beidao with the storm.

Zhu Qiaoyun handed the cooked instant noodles to Zhang Yang: "Go to bed early after dinner!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "You know, I don't want to sleep yet!" His eyes fixed on the aluminum box.

Zhu Qiaoyun certainly knew that Zhang Yang was most concerned about the things in the aluminum box. She used a saber to cut the wax seal on the aluminum box and opened the aluminum box. The plastic bag inside was wrapped with a thick stack of documents.

Zhang Yang felt a little surprised and finally found what Zhu Qiaoyue left behind after much trouble.

Zhu Qiaoyun took out all the things inside, including diaries, letters, and photos. When he picked up the photos, he saw that most of them were intimate photos of Zhu Qiaoyue and Tang Xingsheng, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee.

Zhang Yang looked at the photos, Zhu Qiaoyun looked through the diary, and tears couldn't help falling as she looked at it. She said in a trembling voice: "For so many years, my sister has been secretly interacting with Tang Xingsheng. Tang Xingsheng provides her with business convenience, and she is responsible for laundering money for Tang Xingsheng."

Zhang Yang sighed and looked at Zhu Qiaoyue in the photo. For some reason, he remembered Hailan. Compared with Hailan, Zhu Qiaoyue was unfortunate. Hailan met herself in the most difficult time, but Zhu Qiaoyue did not have such blessings. In the end, the beauty died of a bad life. Ouyang Ruxia was the same fate as her. When a woman betrayed herself to power, her ending was often tragic.

After Zhang Yang read some of the information, he said with certainty: "By using these information, Tang Xingsheng will definitely be punished." The most common way to defeat a cadre is work style and economic issues, and Tang Xingsheng obviously took both.

Zhu Qiaoyun said: "In my diary, my sister mentioned a man named Xiaozhuang, but I have never heard her say it."

Zhang Yang took the diary and wrote on that page: "I never believe in love, but Xiaozhuang made me understand that there is really love in this world. Every time I see his affectionate eyes, I always feel guilty. I am an unclean woman and I am not worthy of him. How should I explain to him? I dare not accept his feelings. Perhaps only by getting rid of everything now can I become a human being again and I can face Xiaozhuang upright. I want to leave Nancy, I want to leave China..."

Zhang Yang said: "Maybe Xiaozhuang is the real reason for the conflict between your sister and Tang Xingsheng."

Zhu Qiaoyun said: "I don't know who Xiaozhuang is? Why hasn't this person appeared since my sister's accident? My sister never mentioned his affairs before her death."

Zhang Yang said: "Maybe he is a coward because he is afraid of escaping, maybe he is the same as your sister..." Zhang Yang did not say the following words, but Zhu Qiaoyun understood that maybe Xiaozhuang would no longer be alive.

Zhang Yang turned on the next page and continued to read.

…2.14th, Yin, in the West, it should be Valentine's Day. I haven't seen Xiaozhuang for a whole week. I don't know where he went? Maybe he knows everything about me, maybe he never wants to see me again, but I know that I love him. There will be no other person in this world that touches my heart like this. No matter where he goes, I will find him. Tonight will be the last time I meet Lao Tang and I will leave him...

The following was interrupted for several days, and the time jumped to 2.28th.

...It's still cloudy, Lao Tang was very irritable. He beat me for the first time since he met me. He called me a bitch. He said he could destroy everything about me. He was too confident. He forgot how much money he had embezzled over the years, and he forgot how many unethical things he had done over the years. His glamour was all disguised. Except for his appearance, his inner self had already rotten and pus...

...On March 7, Qing, Xiaozhuang has been away for a whole month. I don’t know whether he is dead or alive, and I don’t know if he is still in the world. I suspect that this matter is related to Lao Tang. Although he never mentions Xiaozhuang’s affairs in front of me, I realize from his eyes that he is likely to know about Xiaozhuang’s affairs. If this matter is related to him, I will never let him go. Lao Tang never said he loves me. He treats me as his own toy. He is an extremely selfish person. Nothing about his things can be touched by others. Lao Tang just broke a porcelain piece. He likes it very much. The vase of the official kiln of the Song Dynasty was worth more than 300,000 yuan. He did it on purpose. He just gave it to Fu Liansheng to appreciate it, but as soon as Fu Liansheng left, he fell. He said that his things don’t like others to touch them. Fu Liansheng touched them, and he would rather destroy the vase...

The last diary was written on March 11th, with only three words on it—
Chapter completed!
