Chapter 1125 You Have to Pay It Back

Ten minutes later, Ye Tianlong waved to the Longmen disciples to go out and guard the old house of the goddess, and then he walked around the room.

The house has one bedroom, one living room, a small kitchen and a toilet. The building seems to be from the 1960s and is very shabby. The window railings fall off when touched.

However, the layout of the house is quite warm. Although there are no photos hanging on the walls, there are several portraits of leaders and certificates of "Three Good Students".

"Long Yingxin..."

Ye Tianlong read out the name on the certificate, wondering if this was the real name of the goddess?

If so, it's really surprising. He was a good boy when he was young, but he became a tough killer when he was old. What did he have to go through to become like this?

Ye Tianlong's mind turned around, and then he walked to the induction cooker, first looking at the cabbage porridge with only a few mouthfuls left, and then at a few clean cups.

He took a kettle and boiled it, then found a bag of tea leaves.

The tea was just bought, the packaging was very new, chrysanthemum tea, and the name of the supermarket was printed on it.

"Is this the tea you bought for her?"

Ye Tianlong boiled the tea, then took two clean cups, poured the hot tea, and added a spoonful of sugar, and the room suddenly became sweet.

Ye Tianlong gently shook a cup of tea, then handed it to the man who had taken off his mask: "Uncle Jiu, take a sip of tea and take it easy."

Uncle Jiu.

Ye Tianlong was initially surprised to hear Uncle Jiu's voice, but then he seemed to realize something when he thought of the two shots that were stopped yesterday.

Uncle Jiu was wiping away the blood with a tissue. He was slightly startled when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "How do you know it was me who bought the tea?"

"She came all the way to kill me. She only wanted to kill me. She was injured yesterday and needed treatment. How could she have time to buy tea?"

Ye Tianlong pulled out his chair and sat down, and took a sip of tea. The bitterness of chrysanthemums and the sweetness of sugar instantly poured into his mouth:

"You have a good relationship with her. You warned her, saved her life, and took care of her. Blood relatives are nothing more than that."

Ye Tianlong joked: "The lover of your dreams?"

"Tianlong, you are such a talent and your mind is so delicate. No wonder Captain Qin likes you so much."

Uncle Jiu flashed a smile when he heard this, and then he held the boiling tea and said, "I did buy this tea, and I even made the cabbage porridge."

Ye Tianlong blew the tea gently: "She is very sweet, and has the style of a man from Mingjiang."

Uncle Jiu coughed: "Tianlong, I know what you want to ask, and I can tell you everything."

"I do have a close relationship with the goddess. I knew she came to Mingjiang, but I didn't know she was here to kill you. She only told me to come back to visit the grave."

Uncle Jiu had a look of helplessness on his face: "Her father died in Mingjiang thirty years ago, and he comes back every year to visit his grave, so I didn't doubt her words."

"I know she attacked you. She has fallen into the river. I pressed the gun you were about to fire because I really wanted to save her life."

When Ye Tianlong pricked up his ears to listen, Uncle Jiu told him about his participation:

"I visited her in the morning, made cabbage porridge for her, bought her favorite tea, and advised her not to kill you because you saved me."

Uncle Jiu sipped the tea and smiled bitterly: "I'm also worried that she will die in your hands."

"So I have a relationship with her, but we are not the same group. It's not that Uncle Jiu is greedy for life and death, he just doesn't want to disappoint you and saved Bai Yanlang."

He beat his chest: "Uncle Jiu will always remember your kindness in saving Uncle Jiu."

Ye Tianlong smiled warmly: "I believe it."

"The goddess was injured, but she didn't like to see me. I was worried that she was in danger, so I pretended to be a cleaner and kept an eye on her."

Uncle Jiu dissected the matter: "I found someone staring at the house, thinking they were enemies of the Goddess, so I fired to make a scene."

"I hope the goddess can hear the fight and run away."

Uncle Jiu felt quite guilty: "I just didn't expect that the person following was a master or your subordinate, so this farce ended up happening."

"Tianlong, Uncle Jiu wants to ask you something. Although I feel shameless, I still want to ask you to give the goddess a way to live."

There was a look of anxiety on his face: "Don't kill her."

Ye Tianlong held the teacup in both hands: "Uncle Jiu, she came to kill me. Even if I don't kill her, the police should arrest her and put her in jail."

Uncle Jiu's face was very painful: "I know, but I really don't want to see her die or go to jail. Tianlong, just drive her away with your noble hands."

"Uncle Jiu, she is a famous killer. She came with a mission. I will give her a way to survive, but she will not give me a way to survive."

Ye Tianlong's eyes flashed with light: "The goddess and I have only two endings, either she kills me, or I kill her."

"She can't go back to Taicheng in despair, because she can't kill me, and she will be killed by the Cai family when she goes back."

He said calmly: "So Uncle Jiu doesn't need to plead for her."

"I swear, she will never attack you again. If she attacks you again, I will be the first to fight her. Either she dies or I die."

Uncle Jiu promised Ye Tianlong: "Tianlong, give her a chance, just once."

"Uncle Jiu, you are no match for her. She is a dangerous person."

Ye Tianlong looked at Uncle Jiu who was pleading: "If she calms down and is determined, she can kill you and then sneak attack on me."

Uncle Jiu made his last effort: "She is indeed powerful, but she is definitely no match for you. If she kills you, she is simply seeking death."

"Tianlong, you are not injured now. Give me a face and let her go once. As long as I can let her go, I am willing to trade my life for my life."

There was a trace of pain on Uncle Jiu's face: "I really don't want to see her die."

"Uncle Jiu, don't be like this... Besides, she has run away now, and Tianmo and the others may not be able to catch her back, so why are you worried?"

Ye Tianlong did not argue about whether to let her go, but changed the topic: "Uncle Jiu, you like her very much. Did you have a story before?"

"So be it."

Uncle Jiu's expression softened: "She is from Mingjiang and lived in this house for more than ten years. Later, she and her remarried mother went to settle in Taicheng."

"She lives on this end, and I live on the other end, which is where we fought just now. The two families are very familiar with each other."

Uncle Jiu told Ye Tianlong about the past decades ago: "I do like her, but I have always liked her secretly and never confessed."

"She was a good student at that time, a good kid with five stripes, a good family environment, and good looks. She was definitely a school belle."

Uncle Jiu said softly: "Although I am not a naughty person, I am ordinary and inconspicuous. I am a student that teachers will forget."

"So even though I like her and live so close to her, I don't have the courage to express my feelings, and I feel like I'm not worthy of her."

Uncle Jiu's voice gradually became calmer: "I just kept watching her from a distance and helped her as much as I could, buying breakfast, helping with daily duties..."

"Occasionally, I even take the blame for her."

Ye Tianlong took a sip of tea and raised a smile: "It's easy to win favor. In those days, materialism was not the most important thing."

"If my guess is correct, she must have fallen in love with you later on, at least relying on your silent kindness."

Uncle Jiu smiled, very proud, with a hint of shyness that he had not seen for a long time: "She does rely on me, and she also likes me a little bit."

"It's just that her father died later and the family environment deteriorated. She became a troubled teenager due to smoking and drinking. Her mother didn't bother to care about her and just wanted to remarry."

He added: "When my parents saw her like that, they also stopped me from interacting with her, but I never gave up on her."

“Not only did I have pocket money left over for her to eat out in restaurants, but I also often tried to persuade her to be a good child, for which she often ridiculed, beat and scolded me.”

Ye Tianlong smiled: "She used to be too good to confess her feelings, but then she fell into despair. You should have a chance."

Uncle Jiu did not hide anything: "There is indeed a chance, but he is still timid and restrained by family pressure. He dare not say love to her for fear of being punished by his family."

"The night before her mother went to Taicheng, and just before I graduated from the police academy, she suddenly asked me out and said she didn't want to go to Taicheng."

Uncle Jiu's lips twitched: "She confessed to me in turn, saying that she liked me and hoped that I could elope with her."

Ye Tianlong didn't speak, just listened quietly.

"I like her, but I really don't have the courage to elope."

Uncle Jiu looked struggling: "Whether it was my family education, my weak character, or my future in the police academy, I declined her request."

Ye Tianlong comforted softly: "I can't blame you. Elopement seems simple and passionate, but in fact it has many ties. No one can just leave."

Hearing Ye Tianlong's comfort, Uncle Jiu nodded gratefully, and then continued the topic:

"I found a bunch of reasons to reject her, and I was worried that something would happen if she ran away alone, so I told her mother that she was running away from home."

"The result of this whistle-blowing was that she was severely beaten by her mother and taken to Taicheng, and she started to hate me."

"If you give me another chance, I will definitely agree to her request and elope with her, away from Mingjiang and her mother."

Uncle Jiu's voice suddenly became angry and self-blaming: "In this way, she won't have such a miserable life in the future, and her life will be worse than death."

Ye Tianlong was slightly startled: "Is she having a bad time in Taicheng?"

Thirty years ago, the living standard in Taicheng was much better than that in Mingjiang, and the per capita income was ten times the difference. How could the goddess live in a worse life?

Under Ye Tianlong's surprised gaze, Uncle Jiu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's very bad... It changed her temperament and ruined her life."

"If the Cai family hadn't helped her, she would have been dead for thirty years now."

"I was a coward. I didn't dare to elope with her at that time. After the accident, I didn't dare to go to Taicheng to find her, and I didn't dare to shoot her stepfather in the head."

"So I have a lot to do with her becoming like this in her life, and I have to bear a lot of responsibility."

Uncle Jiu's expression became firm: "Not to mention saving her, I am willing to trade my life for her..."

"What you let down must always be paid back."
