Chapter 375 I, Chen Chuan, Have Been Timid, Afraid, and Defeated. But I Have Never Given Up.

"Actually, I've never been happy. I just love to smile."

——Chen Chuan

Ten years ago, there was a restaurant on the first floor of a villa in the old overseas Chinese villa area on Qidu Island, Zhengming District, Dongzhou City.

A long rectangular Chinese-style table that can accommodate eight people is placed in the middle of the restaurant, with a family of three sitting only on the south-facing end. There were six sumptuous dishes and one soup on the table, including chicken, duck, and fish. But strangely, there was no trace of chopsticks being touched on the dishes that were neatly arranged and full of color, flavor, and flavor.

"As long as you have the ability to live one day without any financial help from us, you will be qualified to come and talk to me about independence and freedom!"

A middle-aged man in a casual suit sat on an expensive leather seat, pointing his index finger at the dining table with a cold face, and spoke word by word to a big boy sitting on his right.

"I" the older boy blushed and tried to retort.

"I don't understand at all now, what independence and freedom do you mean? Spending my money and going against my will again and again, right? Do you feel that by listening to me, you have lost yourself. The only way is to resist. Me, can you find your sense of existence?

"This is false independence! Rootless freedom! Unreasonable resistance!"

The middle-aged man slammed the table, not listening to the older boy's fragile explanation, and summed up the conversation.

The big boy was crying, biting his cheek, swallowing mouthfuls of saliva with his Adam's apple rising and falling.

The middle-aged woman sitting next to the boy obviously plays the role of mother in the family.

She frowned and complained to her husband: "Why are you so mean when you talk to your son? He is still a child?"

The middle-aged man stared at the boy who lowered his head, and his tone did not soften: "He is already eighteen years old and an adult. I want to tell him that reality and truth will be harsher than what I say!"

"Enough!"

The big boy pushed open the table and chair with a bang and stood up, craning his neck and loudly saying: "One day, I will definitely prove to you that I can succeed without you!"

His voice was hoarse and choked, and there were tears in his eyes, but his eyes were firm.

The middle-aged man felt a little soft when he saw his son's expression, but he still taught him a lesson with a straight face: "When the time comes, how will you prove your success without stepping on my shoulders?"

"you!"

The big boy bit his lip and turned around and ran out of the villa.

My name is Chen Chuan, I was born in a merchant family, and I have good food and clothing. My parents are not around all year round, so they make up for their time with money.

So, I have a lot of money and then I have a lot of friends.

As soon as we became adults, we went to the most expensive nightclubs in Dongzhou every day, drove the most expensive sports cars, and dated the most beautiful Internet celebrities. Such days are really free and happy.

But every time I wake up from the hotel after being drunk, even though there is always a beautiful woman cuddling next to me, my heart still feels empty and missing something like it did when I was a child.

That boy.

No, that man

Chen Chuan recalled that the first time he met Chen Shu was during his last year of internship at the police academy. At that time, they were assigned to a police station out of town.

In the cafeteria of the police station, the other party walked up to him with a calm smile, placed the fast food plate full of dishes on the table, and sat across from him casually, eating hot dishes while speaking fluently in Dongzhou local dialect:

"Brother, how many drinks are you going to have on weekends?"

Then on the weekend, Chen Shu took him and several other fellow villagers from Dongzhou to the busiest street in the area, where they found a busy roadside stall and had beer and barbecue.

Several people ate and laughed and had a pleasant evening.

This is an ordinary night. There are no distinguished VVVVIPs, no beautiful sisters, and no Mr. Chen Chuan and Chen, who comes from a prominent family and pays the entire bill.

Some of them were just four trainee policemen who were in their last year of internship at the police academy, complaining that the school had sold them to the local police station for 10,000 yuan each.

Near the end, Chen Shu, who organized the bureau, paid the order, and then sent a group payment collection in the temporarily formed WeChat group.

Chen Chuan asked cautiously: "Will everyone do the A together?"

Cheng Mian, who would later be known as the "Fan King", looked disdainful at this time: "How can I be considered a big boss with a monthly salary of only 500 yuan?"

This kind of contempt made Chen Chuan, who was accustomed to flattery, feel a little novel, and he felt as if he had truly integrated into the circle.

Young Li Meng also echoed: "This way everyone is not stressed and can get together more."

Chen Shu smiled and said: "You won't spend all your salary, right? It's okay. You can forget it this time. You have to treat us to milk tea when the salary is paid at the beginning of the month."

Afterwards, in a luxurious single apartment not far from the police station, Chen Chuan, who was lying alone on the bed and smacking his lips around the evening's drinking party, suddenly woke up.

It turns out that what he lacks is not only companionship, but also equality.

Hospital.

Chen Chuan opened his eyes and saw the white ceiling, white curtains, and white walls.

He remembered that he was chasing one, oh, no, two criminal suspects in a wilderness, and then he fell and fell unconscious.

He wanted to move his body, but found pain everywhere in his body.

I don't know if anyone was caught in the end. Chen Chuan stared at the ceiling above his head in a daze, feeling a little lonely.

I don't know how long it took, but with a "bang", a group of people in police uniforms rushed into the ward, and Xiao Ran's ward suddenly became noisy.

The person taking the lead is Chen Shu.

He came over, pulled a chair from the side and sat next to Chen Chuan. He smiled and said, "Chen Chuan, thanks to you this time, we caught everyone."

Also here this time is the long-lost "Fan King" Cheng Mian. He is now the deputy director of the municipal bureau's legal affairs detachment and is responsible for the city-wide review of bail pending trial.

He stood at the end of the bed, holding on to the guardrail of the bed with both hands, with the same disdain as in the dream: "How can you catch him? You just killed him! Be careful, there will be trouble for you later."

"Did you kill someone?"

Chen Chuan was stunned and struggled to get up, but Chen Shu, who was sitting beside the bed, pressed him gently with his hands and lay down on the bed again.

Li Meng, who was already the deputy captain of the Criminal Division, now gave a rare comfort and said: "The other party is a murderer and he also assaulted the police. It is disciplinary for Chen Shu to kill him."

Chen Shu's eyes dimmed at first, and then he looked at Chen Chuan seriously, with an appreciative smile on his face: "You are still recovering from your injuries, so don't worry about these trivial things. Just remember one thing, if there is no such thing as this action, Your Chen Chuan investigation will definitely fail to catch anyone."

"Yes, yes, if you weren't still lying on the bed now, Chen Shu, the on-site commander, might have to take off his hat."

Cheng Mian continued to deliberately sarcastically say, "I don't know who it is, but they talk about safety this and safety every day, but in the end, they send their brother to the point of a gun. Tsk tsk, this is really safe!"

Chen Shu touched his nose and felt a little ashamed.

Li Meng, who was originally feeling a little guilty, was happy to see Chen Shu being defeated.

Chen Chuandong, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked around and felt much calmer. He felt even more relieved after learning that the co-policeman who was with him was also fine. In the end, his eyes stayed on the blue sky outside the window. .

I kept chanting in my heart:

"I have been timid, afraid, and defeated. But I have never backed down.

"Dad, I did it."
