Seeing this situation, Alex Ye nodded slightly, but he also knew very well that although this matter would not be exposed by the media, it did not mean that the captain would not tell the National Security Bureau investigators. However, Alex Ye was not too worried about this. After all, the camera on the plane had been destroyed by four gangsters long ago, and his appearance was not taken at all. Based on the dictation of the captain and the passengers on the plane, it would not be a very easy thing to find him.
As soon as Alex Ye left the airport, he saw a ambulance marked 120 and a police car marked 110 parked outside the airport.Alex Ye only saw an old man being moved from the ground to a stretcher by several nurses and put into the car. The old man groaned in pain, obviously suffering serious injuries. Looking at the old man's figure, Alex Ye was slightly stunned, feeling familiar. The police officer on the side was questioning a fat man in a suit. Wasn't he the so-called successful man he had just seen on the plane? The police officer saw the fat man talking to the police with a proud face, and then he was taken into the car by the police.
Soon, people's comments came to Alex Ye's ears.
"Oh, that old man is really unlucky. He obviously picked up the fat man's wallet out of kindness and wanted to return it to him, but he was suspected of stealing it and was beaten severely. It's hard to be a good person these days. ."
"Wasn't that right? The most worthless thing these days was life. That old man was just a rag picker. He was probably beaten to death and no one would seek justice for him. Did you see what the fat man was wearing?those clothes were all famous brand, he must be a rich man. How a rag picker could defeat the fat man, this beating would be in vain."
Alex Ye frowned slightly and stared at the fat man getting into the police car. Then he reached out to hail a taxi and drove home. If the police hadn't been there, Alex Ye would have definitely gone over and given the fat man a lesson. But now that the police were there, regardless of whether the police would convict the fat man or not, it was inconvenient for Alex Ye to show up. What's more, Alex Ye also desperately wanted to go home. After all, he hadn't been back for eight years. Alex Ye didn't know if the family had changed and Dad still lived there.
Along the way, Alex Ye's mood fluctuated, he was just like a child who had made a mistake. Alex Ye wanted to go home, but he was afraid of going home.
The car finally stopped, and Alex Ye looked out through the car window. It's been eight years and nothing seemed to have changed here. It was still a dilapidated shanty town. The dilapidated roads are lined with towering plane trees, occasionally a few bird calls, in this place where traffic rarely appears particularly bright.
Alex Ye tried his best to search for the house in his memory. The already dilapidated hut was now even more dilapidated and seemed to be in danger of collapse at any time. The door was half open and the Spring Festival couplets on it were slightly whitened. The handwriting on them was obviously not professional. The handwriting was beautiful and childish, as if it was written by a girl.
After taking a deep breath, Alex Ye finally mustered up the courage to walk towards the dilapidated hut. He knocked on the door, but no one answered, so Alex Ye walked in. The furnishings were still the same as they were eight years ago. Nothing had changed. There was only an Eight Immortals table and a few benches in the living room. There was a group photo on the counter. In the photo, An old man in shabby clothes was surrounded by a group of teenagers with a kind smile on his face. Alex Ye's tears couldn't help but flow down. Who said a man wouldn't shed tears easily, just because he hasn't reached the sad point yet.
The sound of cooking came from the kitchen. Alex Ye wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and walked in. Alex Ye saw a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old busy in the kitchen. After Alex Ye was stunned for a moment, he knocked on the door.
"Dad..." The girl turned her head excitedly, but what she saw was an unfamiliar face. She couldn't help being slightly stunned, and the words that are spoken immediately were swallowed back.She glanced at Alex Ye and asked, "What's the matter?"
Alex Ye glanced at the girl. She was dressed as a pure girl. Although she was dressed very simply, she still couldn't hide her beauty. "Is Dad at home?"Alex Ye asked softly.
"Second...Second brother?" The girl was stunned for a long time, and finally remembered that she had seen the person in front of her in the photo left by Dad. Although his childishness had fallen away and was replaced by a mature and determined face, the girl still had a very deep impression on him, because he was the person that Dad often talked about.
Alex Ye obviously didn't expect that the girl in front of him would recognize him, and he couldn't help being slightly stunned. But when he thought about it, maybe day had mentioned him in front of her, and there were photos of him at home, so the girl knew him. Alex Ye couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart, and he almost couldn't help but shed tears. He knew that Dad must have been thinking about him and worrying about him during these eight years.
But after all, he was the captain of the Wolf Fang Mercenary. Alex Ye finally suppressed the emotion in his heart, smiled at the girl, and said, "You know me? Haha, what's your name?"
"Helen Han!" The girl looked at the person in front of her who was often mentioned by Dad, and replied crisply. The person in front of her looked elegant. If it wasn't for the scar on his face, he would have looked like an elegant intellectual. He was really very different from the mischievous and prank-loving Alex Ye that Dad often mentioned. .
"Where's dad? Haven't he come back yet?"Alex Ye asked.
"He should be back soon. Second brother, please sit down and take a rest."Helen Han said while pouring a cup of tea for Alex Ye. Alex Ye said thanked you and took it naturally. Although Alex Ye hadn't been back for eight years, this was still his home after all, so Alex Ye was not so polite.
Seeing that Dad hadn't come back yet, Alex Ye started a family affair with Helen Han and asked, "How has dad's health been over the past few years?"
Helen Han nodded and replied: "He is strong, but after all, our father is getting older, and he can't bear to run out in all weathers."
"Those bastards haven't come back to see dad?"Alex Ye frowned slightly, with a hint of anger on his face. Although none of them were Dad's biological children, they were all raised by Dad and Dad was their reborn parent. As the saying goes,the kindness of dripping water is rewarded by gushing spring. Those bastards who were about the same age as Alex Ye must have already worked, but they still left Dad alone. They really had no conscience at all.
"No, the eldest brother and the third oldest brother have both come back and want to take dad over to live with them, but Dad refuses to agree, saying that east or west,home is best."Helen Han hurriedly said said.
Alex Ye nodded silently. He knew that Helen Han's words were true. He was very clear about Dad's temper. Dad had a stubborn temper and could not get rid of ten things he believed in. Moreover, Alex Ye didn't really believed that those boys were ungrateful people.
