Chapter 320: People have thousands of faces, who knows how much
In Lao Wang's words, there was a clear intention to persuade me to avoid contact with Meng Yang. For a moment, I was a little curious, but of course, more of them were embarrassed.
Lao Wang is my master and an elder. He will never do anything to harm me... And Mengyang is one of the few friends I have made in this city. He has helped me when I am in trouble.
I can't forget that kind of love in this life. Although we had quarrels at the restaurant, I realized that I and Meng Yang were walking in two different directions, and the love was getting thinner and thinner, but in my heart, I still hope that we would be the same as we did at the beginning.
We strive together, support each other, hoping that each other can lay a foundation in Sijiu City...
"Master, have you said this?"
After hesitating for a while, I finally spoke to Lao Wang, "No matter what, Yangzi is all my brothers. Leping, who came together, only a few months later left... Maybe he did something that made you look down on him, but it has nothing to do with me, do you think so?"
After saying that, I looked at Lao Wang carefully.
After all, I rarely contradict him in so many years. To some extent, he is similar to my father in my heart, and he is the kind of person I fear from the bottom of my heart.
Unexpectedly, Lao Wang did not show any dissatisfaction expression as I imagined.
I saw him gently lift the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and sighed:
"Boy, you treat people as brothers and confidants...but what about him?"
"What's the meaning?"
"What else can it mean... To put it bluntly, he treats you as a fool, do you understand?"
Hearing the sound, I subconsciously frowned and stared at Lao Wang in a daze, not knowing what to say.
During this period, I recalled a lot of things in my mind, including the scenes taught by Lao Wang of Leping, and the efforts made by Meng Yang and I to seek justice for the parties involved.
We stayed up late at night just to find favorable information from the case file. When there was no solution, we would light a cigarette and scold the fucking reality... At that time, our backbone was straight and our blood was hot. What we thought in our hearts was to maintain justice within the scope permitted by the law.
But at this moment, Lao Wang suddenly told me that I was the one who was my brother and played with me as a fool. I thought no one could accept it, so I had to refute that even if the person sitting opposite me and telling me about this matter was my master!
"Old Wang, you've talked more and more. You're so old. Is it worth it to use this method to slander someone?"
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Lao Wang smiled and his voice was loud.
"Chen Mo, my good apprentice, you are such a fucking fool."
“…”
"Maybe at the beginning, you were very good, but now? Time has passed so long, and in the city of Beijing, who will not change... Ask yourself, is there any change? Boy, I will teach you another lesson today, and never underestimate the despicableness in human nature."
As he said that, Lao Wang opened his laptop with some indignation, and after operating it for a while, he turned it to me and pushed it forward, "You can take a look first, I don't want to say anything extra."
I glanced at it.
The title is related to a case, which is a case of Li Zheng's legal aid.
In my impression, Li Zheng gave up and continued to fight the lawsuit and accepted the compensation from the deadbeat named Sun Linhai... At that time, I missed the lawsuit because I was beaten for no reason. This is why there will be something that happened next.
I also asked Meng Yang at that time, and he advised me that this was the best result and the parties involved would not pursue it. We had no need to pursue it at all. It was both embarrassing and thankless.
Now, I feel complicated when I see the filing of that case again.
If Lao Wang had no real evidence, he would not have let me see this thing... In other words, this case file contains the truth that allows me to see through Meng Yang's true face.
......
I was a little hesitant and dared not go and see it for a long time.
I am very scared, afraid of seeing something that disappoints me, and even more afraid that what Lao Wang said was the truth...
While hesitating, I ignored the fact that I had bragged to Lao Wang about quitting smoking. My hands trembled slightly, picked up the cigarette box from the table, took out one from it, and lit it for myself.
My heart is not as calm as it seems. I am controlling myself to prevent my fingers holding the cigarette from shaking.
A cigarette takes no time or time.
After it burned out, I finally looked at Lao Wang sitting opposite me and asked, "Master, do you think people really change?"
"meeting."
Lao Wang said confidently: "A person will make many changes in his life, but if the principles he adheres to in his heart remain unchanged, it is not scary at all... But if even the principles and bottom line in his heart should be changed, it will be scary. No one can see clearly what is behind human nature, just like the weather outside, it looks clear and the sky may rain heavily in a while."
I added another cigarette to myself, took a sip and said, "I understand."
"Actually, there are some things that need to be explained thoroughly, but now, when we have to say them thoroughly, you are my apprentice, and you are half my son. Master, I don't want to see you being used as a gun from the bottom of my heart..."
"Well...I know."
I nodded and asked again, "Master, then tell me, should I go see this thing?"
After asking, I never took away the cigarette in my mouth. I bit the cigarette butt and took a few sips... I didn't have the intention to squirt the ash, so I let it fall, fall on my desk, and fall on my clothes.
"The choice is up to you." Lao Wang finally gave me the answer, and he said, "Mo'er, you are not only kind-hearted but also soft-hearted. This is a good thing and a bad thing. Sometimes, kindness is very important, but at this moment, it is really not that important. Only when you see through a person can you decide whether to be friends with him."
"A person has thousands of faces, but who knows who is the same."
"This is right. When everyone in this world faces others, they will put a mask on themselves and hide their true joys, angers, sorrows and happiness behind the mask... The same is true for your master, including this time."
"Um....."
I finally let go of my teeth, picked up the cigarette butt that had long disappeared, and twisted it hard into the yellowed ashtray. I took a deep breath and took the Apple laptop in front of me.
