Infernal Hero

Chapter 25 Salvation

Some birds are born to be imprisoned, their feathers too bright, their singing too sweet, and their wildness too wild for Shawshank's salvation.

The silver-gray van drove out of downtown Wuzhong in one breath. As it sped, it suddenly slowed down. The two of them were tied up and thrown out of the van. The van disappeared without a trace. A few minutes later, the van pulled into a container truck parked on the roadside. The container truck went south on the highway, but the driver of the van got into a black off-road vehicle.

Gu Tianyou was driving the car. Geng Jianjun was sitting in the passenger seat. He bent his waist and sat with his butt very weak. His left leg was in front, and his right leg was slightly bent behind. It was easy for him to move and exert strength. He looked like an agile civet.

"Are you the client that Zhao Yajun mentioned?" Geng Jianjun 's tone was filled with suspicion. Obviously, he was incredulous about the young man's age in front of him.

Gu Tianyou turned around and smiled, "My name is Gu Tianyou."

Geng Jianjun was a little surprised, "You planned the whole thing by yourself?"

Gu Tianyou shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "It can't be considered a troublesome matter." Gu Tianyou said, "Fortunately, you haven't started killing yet. Otherwise, it would be very difficult."

Geng Jianjun said, "It's easy for you to say, but Vice Mayor Cui probably doesn't think so."

Gu Tianyou said, "Zhao Yajun saved Vice Mayor Cui's life. In the next few years, he will definitely have a prosperous career. If he wants to handle this case, most likely no one will compete with him."

Geng Jianjun asked again, "When we came out, many of the same vans started moving together, disrupting the sight of the police. Did you arrange it?"

Gu Tianyou smiled and said, "They are making way for the police. Those cars are from the demolition company. It is inevitable that there will be some panic at that moment."

Geng Jianjun relaxed a little and said, "It seems that you have calculated every step." "You are only in your twenties," he added with admiration. "You may not even have this face when you are twenty years old."

"All crimes will leave behind traces of clues. All I can do is to show as little as possible." Gu Tianyou tilted his head to look at him and said with a smile, "It's only at your age that I'm even more surprised to have such skill."

Geng Jianjun took out the knife from his bosom and suddenly asked, "Who gave this to you?"

"Is there a second knife like this in the world?" Gu Tianyou replied.

Geng Jianjun said, "Looks like you already know about me and him?"

Gu Tianyou noticed the chill in his eyes. He pointed to the car-mounted toolbox and smiled, "If you want to kill me to silence me, there is a more suitable fellow over there." "But what I want to ask you is, are you really going to kill your savior just to hide a relationship that has been legalized in some Western countries?"

Geng Jianjun 's expression was slightly stagnant. Little Saber flashed in his palm and said, "For our generation, things between us are very difficult to understand. It doesn't matter to me, but he has a very high reputation in society, so he always doesn't want others to know about us."

"Trust me, he doesn't care that much about reputation anymore." Gu Tianyou drove onto Wu Qin Expressway. He stepped on the accelerator and the off-road vehicle sped forward. Looking at the scenery on the roadside, he said leisurely, "He has been imprisoned in Qinzhou Prison for the past few years because of the serial killings. His entire body has changed a lot."

"Ah!" Geng Jianjun didn't seem to know about Miao Shifan 's imprisonment. He was shocked for a moment, then fell into silence. After a long time, he said, "I was the one who harmed him."

"Why do you say that?" Gu Tianyou explained, "I am a little curious. To be honest, I have known Mr. Miao for twelve years. I have never felt that he is the kind of person who can't decide what he wants to do."

Geng Jianjun fell into silence again. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and said, "It's a pity that our youth hasn't caught up with the good times!" "At that time, we were still young and filled with passion and impulse, but our secular vision forced us to suppress the intense emotions in our hearts. He came from a distinguished family, so he had to cherish his reputation more than I did. In those years, we decided to separate more than once. He couldn't help but look for me every time, and every time he looked for me, he would bring a knife with him."

"I guess he wanted to kill you to end your relationship."

"Yes." Geng Jianjun 's expression was painful. He nodded and said, "Every time I know what he wants to do, I give him a chance, but he can't do it. There were a few times when he suppressed his pain and even deliberately hit me. He did it heavily. I know he was trying to provoke me to kill him."

"But you always bear it silently." Gu Tianyou had already learned about this from his diary.

"He always regrets injuring me," Geng Jianjun said.

Gu Tianyou said, "Because of his regret, he has accumulated so much resentment in his heart. He hates why the society can't accept your feelings and even more hates that he doesn't have the courage to admit his relationship with you. He killed a total of 19 people in those years, and every time he left you, he committed a crime."

Geng Jianjun closed his eyes in pain.

Gu Tianyou suddenly changed the topic and said in a mocking tone, "To tell the truth, I think you two are a bit pretentious. If one of you had been lucky enough to be locked up for a few years to broaden your horizons, perhaps you two wouldn't have had so many years of regret and pain."

"How has he been living in there all these years?" Geng Jianjun 's heart was full of worries and he asked.

"Well, I'm sure it's not, but I don't think it's a bad thing for him. After these few years, at least he's not as pretentious as he was when you two were together." Gu Tianyou pointed to Geng Jianjun 's left hand and said, "If it was Miao Shifan , do you believe he would let me know the origin of that thing?"

Geng Jianjun flipped his left hand and the knife that had disappeared from his right hand appeared in his left palm.

Gu Tianyou smiled and said, "Uncle, your technique is really not bad. I have learned a few ancient colored magic tricks, but I may not be able to do it."

Regarding this knife, Geng Jianjun and Miao Shifan shared painful memories.

"Aren't you worried that I will harm you at all? Or do you really think that the only reason he turned out that way was because of us?" He paused for a moment and said coldly, "If you knew what happened between us back then, I'm afraid you wouldn't have laughed so easily."

When he said this, his gaze was gloomy. He remembered that when he first met Miao Shifan , he had the same gaze.

Didn't we just eat a few mouthfuls of dead meat together? Gu Tianyou had long since learned from Geng Jianjun 's diary what the two of them had done on the desolate island. When he thought of this sentence, he suddenly thought of Lord Long in his mind. The old man and his two comrades had once eaten a dozen little ghosts. However, he had lived his entire life calmly and happily. That matter did not leave any shadow in the old man's heart.

"When I was in prison, I knew an old man. He used to be a member of the Red Army and beat ghosts. Once, he was trapped in the mountains and ran out of ammunition. There were only two comrades and a dozen or so little ghosts killed by them. At that time, he did the same thing as you did back then. Guess what happened to him afterwards."

As Gu Tianyou spoke, Geng Jianjun frowned and remained silent. He kept flipping the knife with his left hand and suddenly stopped. He couldn't help but ask, "How is he?"

"He married four wives, had a lot of children, and lived a happy life!" At this point, Gu Tianyou suddenly grabbed onto Geng Jianjun's left wrist. Geng Jianjun flipped his wrist and the blade flashed. Gu Tianyou's fingers nimbly avoided the blade and grabbed the knife from the back of the knife. He smiled and said, "Don't say that you don't need to kill me. Even if you do have such a plan, you must at least have the ability."

The two of them were stuck in a stalemate, and the off-road vehicle continued to move forward at Seeing that Geng Jianjun was not determined to make a move, he slowly let go of his grip.

Gu Tianyou threw the knife back to him. "To be honest, if the two of you weren't so pretentious, I would probably admire you more. In my opinion, it was a great feat for the two of you to survive that year. Not only did you survive, you even completed your mission, destroyed the secret laboratories of the former Soviet Union in neighboring southern Xinjiang, and performed special merits. This is even more amazing."

"You know quite a bit. My family was visited a while ago. I thought it was done by the demolition team. It seems that I made a wrong judgment."

"Uncle, you really don't have to be so hostile to me." Gu Tianyou did not deny Geng Jianjun 's accusation. He said calmly, "Mr. Miao is my primary teacher, and he is also grateful to me. I do not have any hostility towards you."

"Why are you helping us?" Geng Jianjun 's expression did not change as he asked, "If it was just to repay him, why would he know so much about us?"

"I'm planning something. I need his help." Gu Tianyou didn't go in circles with him and said truthfully, "If necessary, I might even need to use some of the skills that Uncle has mastered. The only reason I know about the two of you is to build trust between you more easily. I hope I can establish a trustworthy relationship with you."

"You?" Geng Jianjun hesitated, "You are not old, yet you are so shrewd. Why should we believe you?"

Gu Tianyou said, "I will tell you everything I have to do. I will do my best to help the two of you get together. As for what you want to do, I will not force it."

"Where are you taking me?" Geng Jianjun didn't relax his vigilance.

"Stay at my house for now," Gu Tianyou said.

Geng Jianjun said, "Aren't you afraid that if I expose myself, I'll implicate you?"

Gu Tianyou didn't care, "Since you said that you want to build a relationship of mutual trust, you naturally shouldn't hold back. I will arrange a meeting between the two of you in the shortest time possible. When you meet him, you will know about some of my past events. I believe that you will be more willing to trust me at that time."

Geng Jianjun grunted. He didn't ask anything else, but put down his seat. He closed his eyes and slowly lay down. He pulled on his seat belt and looked very relaxed.
