Chapter 317 The Cruelty of the Truth
"But Li Shanghai, you have to be prepared and don't get too excited."
Chen Yuan didn't want Li Shanghai to get emotional and seek revenge for Dingdian.
If he really knew a little bit about the tragic situation, he would not want Li Shanghai to make a terrible mistake because of a momentary impulse.
"I know. Brother Yuan, I know what's going on. I just want to know how Dingdian is doing now."
Chen Yuan nodded.
Hu Zi and Gou Wa felt sorry for Li Shanghai. After all, they were brothers who had known each other for many years. Although they didn't see each other often, their friendship was stronger than gold.
Everyone wants to go with Li Shanghai.
Chen Yuan was also relieved.
The three brothers he interacted with were all more loyal than the other.
Four people found Guo Haitao's home.
Guo Haitao rented a bungalow.
Shang Aiqing said that Guo Haitao was not a local, but he went to school here and did not want to live in the dormitory, so he rented a bungalow outside.
This place is quite new, which shows that Guo Haitao is indeed generous with his spending.
The door outside the house was locked.
Guo Haitao didn't come back.
I don’t know where to eat, drink, gamble and have sex.
Shang Aiqing said that Guo Haitao almost never went to school since he became addicted to gambling.
Chen Yuan and his three companions waited until nightfall before they saw a swaying figure, reeking of corn wine.
"Is it him?"
Among the four people, only Li Shanghai had met Guo Haitao.
Li Shanghai nodded
Of course he knew Guo Haitao.
But Guo Haitao's current appearance is very different from the last time we met.
Guo Haitao's face was swollen and his body was fat. Even from such a distance, one could see how depressed and decadent Guo Haitao had been these days.
Li Shanghai took a deep breath and stepped forward to hold Guo Haitao's shoulders.
Guo Haitao was still a little dazed, he was drunk. He turned around and saw Li Shanghai and blinked. He met an old acquaintance.
"Hey, why are you here?"
Guo Haitao was dizzy and didn't know what was going on.
In his plan, he sold the goods to Shang Aiqing as a compensation.
Shang Aiqing paid off his gambling debts and gave him five hundred yuan.
This was not a small amount of money. After receiving 500 yuan, Shang Aiqing became Guo Haitao's most important brother.
At the same time, Guo Haitao and Shang Aiqing made a plan to deal with Li Shanghai and others.
Of course, Shang Aiqing reported to Guo Haitao that Li Shanghai and the other three had disappeared from this world and would never cause trouble for him.
When he saw Li Shanghai, Guo Haitao felt like he was dreaming, and it was a nightmare.
"You didn't expect me to be alive?"
Li Shanghai sneered.
The person who harmed him was not Dingdian, but Dingdian's cousin, Dingdian's most trusted partner Guo Haitao.
Li Shanghai patted Guo Haitao's face and restrained him behind his back.
Chen Yuan, Hu Zi and the other two kicked open the door of Guo Haitao's house.
Guo Haitao felt his stomach churning before he sobered up.
I might vomit.
Li Shanghai scooped two buckets of cold water from the yard and poured them over Guo Haitao, which washed away the smell of alcohol and sobered him up.
When he saw Li Shanghai, Guo Haitao's face changed and he screamed.
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
Don't you know better than me whether I am a human or a ghost?
Li Shanghai grabbed Guo Haitao by the collar.
"I didn't expect you to be so cruel despite looking like a decent person. Dingdian and you are related by blood, and you are going to harm him?"
Guo Haitao's face was pale.
"you are still alive?!"
"How could you..."
The moment he saw Li Shanghai clearly, many things flashed through Guo Haitao's mind.
Shang Aiqing failed?
Was Li Shanghai lucky?
Shang Aiqing cheated him?
None of the possibilities made Guo Haitao realize that his end would be tragic.
After waking up, Guo Haitao did not wipe the water droplets on his face. He knelt in front of Li Shanghai with a "plop", and the water droplets on his hair fell down his cheeks.
"Shanghai, Shanghai!"
"I... don't know. Shang Hai, please forgive me. I was also deceived. I... I had no choice!"
Guo Haitao grabbed Li Shanghai's trouser legs.
Looking closely, his fingers were pale and weak.
"You took the goods and asked Shang Aiqing to throw me into the sea. You did all this, didn't you?"
Li Shanghai was disappointed. He had a good relationship with Dingdian, so he naturally treated Dingdian's cousin as his own brother. Every time he came, he gave Guo Haitao extra pocket money.
He treated Guo Haitao as a brother, but Guo Haitao treated him like a Japanese devil!
Guo Haitao is such a beast!
Li Shanghai slapped Guo Haitao in the face with all his might. Guo Haitao's body shook and his head was buzzing.
My cheeks swelled up immediately!
Guo Haitao gritted his teeth and dared not cry out in pain. What he wanted was Li Shanghai's life. If a slap could make Li Shanghai feel better, then he would have gotten a great advantage.
As a bystander, Chen Yuan saw most clearly how powerful Li Shanghai's slap was. Li Shanghai's body even trembled.
"Shanghai, I was wrong!"
"Please forgive me!"
Guo Haitao grabbed Li Shanghai's pants and begged bitterly.
"I forgive you? I'm lucky to be able to stand before an ungrateful wolf like you today. If Shang Aiqing hadn't been motivated by wealth and not life, I wouldn't be so lucky to be alive!"
Li Shanghai bent down, holding Guo Haitao's collar, exerting force with his knuckles, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed.
"You've set your sights on the people closest to you!"
"You've read so much that it's like a dog's stomach!"
Guo Haitao let Li Shanghai scold and beat him!
"I owe money, there's nothing I can do!"
Guo Haitao's eyes were red. He didn't want to, but Li Shanghai's sudden appearance made him feel more regretful. He should have worked hard with Ding Dian. Although Ding Dian had a strong desire for control and was just as harsh on him, he was always generous when it came to taking a cut and paying the money.
He is too greedy!
If I hadn’t gambled, I wouldn’t have taken this path!
"Li Shanghai, the most urgent thing is to confirm Dingdian's whereabouts."
Chen Yuan reminded him that Guo Haitao had already done something wrong and it would be useless even if he said "I was wrong, I'm sorry" ten thousand times.
"What about Tiny?"
Li Shanghai loosened his grip and stared at Guo Haitao.
"Let me ask you, where's Tintin?"
"You asked Shang Aiqing to beat him up, where is he?"
Li Shanghai insisted on asking.
Guo Haitao hesitated: "He was dizzy, bleeding profusely from the back of his head, and had so many cuts. I thought he wouldn't live long, so I just..."
"What did you do to him?"
Chen Yuan thought it was cruel. It was not uncommon for brothers to kill each other in their family, but he had never heard of someone using such cruel means to harm others for no reason.
"I panicked at the time. I called out to him, but he couldn't get up. He just stared at me with his eyes open, as if he wanted to keep me in his eye sockets!"
Guo Haitao sat limply on the ground, recalling the details of the night he decided to join forces with Shang Aiqing to rob the goods.
Dingdian was surprised and confused when he saw Shang Aiqing and his group appear.
When he turned around and saw Guo Haitao holding an iron rod and hitting him, he was filled with panic, confusion and disbelief. All these expressions made Guo Haitao wake up in a cold sweat.
