sinovels Chapter 59
Chapter 59
Binny left Roy at home, and hurried to find Leon, leaving Roy and Charles looking at each other with confused faces.
Charles thought for a while, and said, "I still have some things to do, you...well, do you want to read a book?"
Lowy shook his head. He didn't want to answer questions such as "I can't read." He found that once he said it once, he had to repeat the answer over and over again, often only in exchange for the listener's sideways glance.
Mr. Erwin is fine.Mr. Erwin's company, he thought, was a good bunch of people, too, but apparently they hadn't seen enough to realize that there were people in the world who weren't as good as they were.
This trip was longer than any time he had come out of the mine before.
Since he was born, he has only been into the city once, and that was when his father and brother took him to visit some distant relative.
The father was carrying a big bag and a small bag, dragging two big boxes, and there were two chickens stuffed in the bag.
Before departure, my brother cleverly installed four wheels under the box.
They squeezed into the green leather train like two mountains that would move me, and for a while, many passengers complained: "Crazy, where did this country bumpkin come from."
Roy buried his face in his hands.
"Then, do you want to watch TV?" Charles was at a loss, handed him the remote control, and said, "The computer can also be played, but the computer is a little slow, and the drink is in the refrigerator. There is change in the drawer. If you If you want to eat some snacks, you can go directly to the community supermarket, which is downstairs."
Roy sat primly on the sofa, changing channels with the remote control.
Charles didn't intend to keep staring at him, and returned to the study soon.
Roy watched the entertainment program, and a few crazy hosts exaggeratedly showed the audience the gluttonous feast of the rich. They changed the program, and the male singer tried to convince the judges with his singing or tragic past. The third channel was a movie , he recognized Edith as the leading actor at a glance, and the fourth program...
Roy froze, he vaguely felt that he had found the information he wanted.
"Tex really still asked you to interrogate me."
Through the glass window, Nathan sat on a chair with a tired smile.
After Oscar left Leon, he came here slowly. At this moment, he looked at this playmate who grew up together, and his heart was very complicated.
"Tex wants you to die," Naitan said as if seeing through everything. "Today I told you the truth, tomorrow you will not be able to walk out of this door alive. Thank me, Oscar, I found it for you." A 'scapegoat'."
"what?"
Oscar was taken aback for a moment, and a familiar voice came from outside the door:
"Excuse me, is it here?"
The visitor was guided to come here, opened the door, and stared at Oscar, both of them were stunned.
"Edith?" Oscar asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"
At the same time, Edith also asked in a daze, "You didn't accompany Leon?"
"What are you doing? Why are you sabotaging my plan?"
"Ha, haha..." Naita En laughed, "It turns out that you all know very well, whoever listens to me tonight, don't even think about living? It's good, it's good, they're all smart people, I like."
Edith pulled the chair over, sat down, and said slowly, "My life is useless, Oscar, you can go."
"I'm leaving?" Oscar glared at him, "How much is your life worth? Tex and I are rivals in love, understand? I cast myself in the trap tonight, he likes it, and will definitely not seek trouble again."
"Then how do you plan to make Nathan speak? You and he are friends who grew up together?" Edith asked, "Only I can let him explain."
"Damn, how do you get him to confess? Use a beauty trick?"
While they were arguing, a third voice came from outside the door: "You told me that Mrs. Jessica is here?"
Both Oscar and Edith's expressions changed.
Leon poked his head from the door, folded his hands, and said weakly, "Binney, have you noticed? This room is very crowded."
After speaking, he stepped in, followed by Binny.
The door was shut with a bang.
Oscar sighed.
"Okay," he said impatiently, "nobody wants to leave this time."
Kenan Hawk walked into the ward in fear, and came to the bed in a regular manner. His mother, Susan, looked at him worriedly.
"Naita was arrested, did you know?" Old Charlie said with his eyes closed.
Kenan was startled, and hurriedly said: "I also just found out about the arrest of my eldest brother. I want to ask Mr. Tykes for mercy. There must be something in it..."
"Nathan holds all the secrets of the Hawk family." Charlie opened his eyes, looked at him, and said, "Tex has always wanted to swallow the Hawk family, but if Nathan still doesn't open his mouth, he will There is no way... I have sent someone to apply for bail, and Naitan will not be locked up for a long time..."
"So tonight, Tex will definitely do everything possible to get Naitan to speak."
Kenan opened his mouth, still not quite understanding what his father meant.
"Your mother has always hinted that you have grown up and matured, but unfortunately I didn't see your success in the previous campaign." Old Charlie continued, "Now, it's up to you whether you can rescue Nathan .”
Kenan stood there blankly, feeling a sense of absurdity in his heart: rely on me?ha?I didn't do anything.
"Kenan," Susan forced a smile to him, "you have grown up, it's time to help your father solve the problem. Let's go, I'll see you off."
ha?
Kenan was led by his mother in a daze. Gradually, he found that Susan was walking fast, his hand was tightly held by the other party, and he couldn't keep up with the pace: "Mother, wait a minute..."
They left the ward far away and walked downstairs. At the corner of the corridor, Susan stopped abruptly and shook off Kenan's hand.
She turned around, her body was shrouded in shadow, her face almost hidden in the darkness stared at Kenan with complex expressions, her expression was cold at one moment and hesitant at another.
"Mother...?" Kenan was startled for no reason, he took a step on his hind legs, as if he wanted to run.
But as soon as his body moved, his cheeks were held by Susan's hands, and he was forced to look directly into her eyes.
"Kill Nathan and the man who interrogated him," his mother said clearly. "This is our chance."
"what?"
Susan's nails almost sank into Kenan's cheek: "Tomorrow morning, Nathan must 'suicide', as long as he dies, the Hawk family can escape from Tex's hands. We can't let anyone Leave the handle outside!"
Susan's face, which had always been a good wife and loving mother, was so ferocious that it was distorted at this moment. Kenan stared and stammered, "But big brother...that's big brother..."
Susan held his cheek tightly, but her expression softened, and her words were as tactful as singing: "Kenan, in this family, only our mother and son depend on each other. What can you expect other people to do? The bitch left by that cousin /species? Or the bastard /species that your father secretly ate outside, huh?”
Kenan walked out of the hospital in a trance, his legs were weak: "Is that really my mother? No, am I having a nightmare?"
He hugged his head, squatted down slowly, and suddenly felt that he couldn't move a step.
Did he... choose to obey his mother, or choose to save his elder brother?
trial room.
All four sat in chairs in a semi-circle, making the divided room appear even smaller.
Leon smoked a cigarette and thought deeply: "In this way, whoever listens to Nathan's 'confession' tonight will be completely cold?"
The Hawke family will definitely not let go of this person who holds the key evidence.
Tex didn't want this sequence of events to come to light, nor would he allow this man to live.
"That's why I said, as long as I come!" Oscar took out his cigarette case angrily, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, looking like he wanted to beat someone up to vent his anger, "They want to kill me, it's not that easy!"
"It should be me." Edith said briefly, but her tone was firm.
Naita En watched this scene with relish, as if he was standing in the perspective of God, and declared: "Whoever you are buried with me, I don't care."
His voice cut off the impending dispute.
Oscar gritted his teeth, and said what they agreed in unison: "I'm so unwilling, why do I have to die with this guy?"
Binny broke the imminent silence: "I'd love to know what kind of answer there is to the mystery surrounding Nathan."
"Binney?" Leon called out in surprise.
"Don't you want to know? What happened to Nathan five years ago," Binny said.
Edith remained silent, Oscar said: "Why mention the past."
"Okay," said Nathan, "it's a good place to start. But, you all have cigarettes, why must I be left out? Who will let me have one."
But when Leon handed him the cigarette, he smiled again: "No, I don't want yours, I don't like this flavor, Oscar, let me have one of yours."
After getting the cigarette from Oscar, he also opened up the chatter box, talking about what happened five years ago:
"Five years ago, I was stupid too. I believed that people are equal and that there should be no class distinctions. At that time, I was in a rebellious period, and Oscar was also. We often discussed issues about wealth and privilege. One day , I'm at a party..."
five years ago--
strike movement.
The young Naitan was shocked to see the scene in front of him. Hundreds of workers were sitting upright on the road, blocking all the traffic.
Owners were left to honk their horns in vain, or take diversions, including a line of wedding vehicles and a line of funeral vehicles that unfortunately ended up on the same road.
Facing these workers in cheap undershirts and rough overalls, Naitan felt that the tailored suits were sticking tightly to his skin, making his skin itchy.
He doesn't know how to fit in: "How long have they been sitting?"
On the side, Oscar, who was wearing a police uniform, straightened his police cap and said, "Who knows where their courage comes from... But, in a short while, the anti/riot/team will be on stage."
"Someone has to remind them!"
"Are you going?" Oscar turned around and joked at him.
Of course, Naitan didn't dare to go there in the middle of the night, but fortunately these people didn't leave until the evening, and he took advantage of the night to follow this tattered team not far or near.
"I've forgotten how that night was," Netaen recalled, eyes narrowed, "but I was amazed to be in contact with those people, who spoke rudely and acted indiscriminately.
"I thought they were a team of people who were united and doing something together, and it turned out they were just people who had to band together to make a living."
"You can't blame them," Leon said coldly, he had heard enough of these accusations, "Your society is deformed, education has become the privilege of the elite, I even doubt that you still have 'compulsory education' This thing."
Naita paused and continued:
"Anyway, they're not interested at all in what I'm saying, and I can't understand their inarticulate dialect. I almost give up, I don't feel like I'm talking to a human being, I can't understand them, and they don't want to talk to me.
"If I really left, the real thing wouldn't happen, but that night, I met Anthony."
A dark, thin, sharp-eyed young man who was about the same age as them.
Having said that, he looked at Edith and smiled meaningfully, but Edith turned her head indifferently.
No one specifically mentions this scene, including Nathan.
He smoked a cigarette and said: "During this time, Anthony and I chatted like a lonely soul meeting a traveling companion. He was different from those workers. Although he also dropped out of school early, he had read many books. He is like a sponge, all the knowledge he has read can be absorbed in his mind. I often think, if he was born in a wealthy family, maybe when I met him, he would be a real scientist."
They hit it off right away.
Nathan quickly confessed everything to Anthony, his confusion, his views on life, he was like a person standing at a fork in the road, wanting to do the most meaningful thing in the world, but he didn't know where the future would go ...
Gradually, he found that he had a good impression of Anthony. The other party had been listening to him. No matter what he said, he could always see Anthony's erratic and mysterious eyes when he turned his head.
It was a long time later that Netaen realized that that look actually contained "disinterest".
Nathan had never thought about this before.
The family environment and status in which he lived meant that he was the center of the "world" from birth.
The servants exist because of him, and the club is opened because of him. Everyone calls him "Master Naitan", and bends down to talk to him respectfully. It all started when the spelling was wrong with the little kid.
With this germinated feeling, he couldn't help revealing his identity to Anthony:
The heir of the Hawk family.
He obviously felt that Anthony's attitude towards him had changed, and his response to him was more ingenious and strategic.
"If you want to say that I took advantage of your feelings and caused you to retaliate against me, you should avoid it." Edith suddenly interrupted his conversation. Although her voice was still slow and gentle, her words were a little sharper, " Unlike your head full of romance, we are exhausted just by living."
Naitan was a little surprised and said: "It seems that after you stopped the medicine, you slowly returned to your original appearance?" He elongated his voice maliciously, "Anthony."
The two looked at each other through the window, one grinning grinningly, the other coldly.
They fought for so long.
For Anthony, with Netann, it is much more convenient to get the Hawke family's movements.
He is very smart and skillfully uses Naitan as his source, this strike gradually succeeds with the development of the situation, compensation, medical expenses, pension...
As the receivable benefits were cashed out one by one, more and more workers responded. When their movement expanded from a few hundred to tens of thousands, the factory announced the suspension of production.
At this time, Anthony had already used tricks to get old Charlie to sign contracts with several well-known suppliers.
In order to make up for the holes in production, old Charlie had to untie his pockets again and again to meet the needs of workers and coax them back to work.
The luxury of Hawke's family also plummeted, and the "luxury car downgrade" incident in Kennan's memory was at this time.
The more Leon listened, the more he admired him.
Edith... no, Anthony was not like him.
He is a time traveler, with self-awareness, who can see the sharp contradictions in society at a glance. Anthony is a native aborigine, an npc in the novel, a tool man, and a small cannon fodder in the story of Slag Gonghui.
After the book world got out of the author's involvement, he actually became a pioneer spontaneously.
"We almost won." Edith said with a dazed expression.
"Victory?" Nathan sneered, "I don't think so."
Netann still found Anthony's "deception".
What made him feel the most ridiculous afterwards was that his discovery was not through his own thinking, but someone else's informant:
"You may not remember, Walter, your neighbor. At that time, the way you distributed compensation was based on seniority, but Walter felt that if his seniority was only one day less, the money he got was 30 yuan less. He Unconvinced. Do you remember? He asked you for money, but you refused, and you said you were very good at dividing the money.”
Edith tapped her head and said sarcastically, "I haven't recovered such a good memory yet."
"You declined," Nathan went on self-consciously, "so Walter was bitter, 'Since I got the wrong one, you don't want to continue'. He came to me and told me what was behind it. Tell me everything, and he even pulled me to eavesdrop on your conversation, what did you say to others at that time?"
That year, Naitan hid behind the dilapidated wall and pressed his body against the wall, and Walter stalked beside him, which disturbed him.
Seeing Anthony's voice, others were a little cold and lazy: "I will leave State A after the matter is over."
"Where are you going?" another voice asked.
"Well, just take a walk and see, if there is any place that needs someone like me, I will help them."
"Will you come back?"
"Eighty percent of the Hawk family won't let me come back."
"Then, what about Mr. Hawke?"
"Ah? Why did you ask him?"
……
"Crack!" Netann clapped his hands violently, startling everyone.
"I can—forgive you for taking advantage of me, and I can also forgive you for ignoring me, but—" his face flushed red, he stood up, pressed his hands on the table, arched his back, as if he was about to break through the window and rush over, "I Unforgivable, what are you fighting for!"
……
On the way back, Walter was still chattering beside him: "Mr. Hawke, now you understand, you were completely deceived by Anthony, and we were also deceived by him. He messed up our lives!"
Under the moonlight, he said angrily: "We were living a good life, but once the compensation is paid, everyone's life is in chaos.
"The Karl couple next door used to live well. With money, the young Karl immediately ran to the big city and didn't want to support the family anymore. His wife kept crying; and Luo Er, he was a good boy, but his father He gambled and drank too much. He didn't cause any big troubles because his pockets were empty. He was very happy when the money came down. He went to the casino to play for three days. More than 3, go home to visit relatives, can you believe it? She was killed by her own brother..."
"...shut up..." young Nathan said softly.
But Walt didn't hear it, and he continued to talk endlessly: "I'm not for myself at all, I can't stand it, what did Anthony do, is he a devil? Only devils can do this Bewitching..."
"I told you to shut up!"
There was blood in front of his eyes. When he realized it, Nathan found that Walter had passed out, and he was holding a blood-stained retractable self-defense stick in his hand.
He vaguely remembered that this thing was "robbed" from Oscar during the day.
Anthony has made more and more enemies recently, and Naitan originally wanted to give him this as a gift.
Nathan sat down in a daze, lit a cigarette, his mind went blank, and only one thought caught him in the end:
He can't let Walt go to inform again, this "weapon" will implicate Oscar.
Strangely enough, he wasn't thinking about Anthony at all at the time, he was just worried about something else.
"Later, you also know." Nathan sat down again, propped his chin with his hands, and looked at them with his head tilted, "Walt jumped off the building instead of you, what did I do?"
"It was my father who helped me from the middle," he continued, "I told him the truth, and he forgave me, helped me fake the scene, and helped me catch Anthony...Really, family members are the most reliable at critical moments, Isn’t it? Blood is thicker than water, I can’t decide my birth, but the moment I was born, I was doomed to what my allegiance should be.”
"...you bastard." Oscar said in a low voice.
Edith stood up, and he went to the glass window and put one hand on it, his face pressed against the glass, almost touching it.
Nathan's eyes grew brighter.
"You," Edith said softly, "do you know what is the 'compensation mentality after a crime'?"
Nathan's pupils tightened.
Edith let go of her hand suddenly, and turned to the other three people: "My memory is not good, but I still remember that everyone was very happy at that time, and they almost thanked me as a savior, even though I knew I was not. "
He smiled: "Oscar, you have a good memory. You have looked through all the files in the police station and read the cases in those years. You can tell Naitan well, when did the things he said happen? It was the workers. During the campaign, or has it happened intermittently over the past five years?"
Oscar thought about it carefully, swallowed, and asked, "How do you know? Have you seen those cases too?"
"I haven't seen it, I guess." Edith replied bluntly, "I believe that the people I helped, the same for Walt.
"I believe that those who earn their living through labor have the most honest values. They may not know what a 'rule of conduct' is, but they have their own way of life, which is often harmless and simple."
He said to Leon: "But people in positions of authority all know this: when we beg them, they only talk to us on the surface, and when they force us to do something, they criticize us for being cruel. The mouth grows on themselves, They are best at beautifying themselves."
"I'm not lying!" Nathan slammed the table loudly, "They are not worth it at all! Those people are not worth it at all! How could I lose to them! Why am I inferior to them? You, deceive me for them!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Edith, at Anthony in his memory.
"Don't think I'm going to die!" he said loudly, "I have a family, power, money, relatives, what do you have? You have nothing but sacrifice yourself!"
"I'll come out of here," Netann said cruelly, looking at Leon, "Tex has sued me, he needs my testimony, he needs my confession, so that others can't find fault with what he did, But I won't speak, and he can't really kill me.
"This time it was only interrupted by Edith. We have never confronted each other. When I go out, I will make you completely defeated. Just wait, Leon.
"It's you, you should think about how to get me to speak, how to appease Tex's anger, and how to... escape tomorrow's catastrophe."
He gave an odd smile.
When he mentioned his family and everything he owned, he regained his confidence. Although he was a prisoner, he still looked down on everyone in the house.
