Hope Coffee House Chapter 21

For the first time, Hao Xin saw Han Xu with such a complex expression. Despair, pain, remorse, hatred and more emotions flickered in his eyes, almost tearing Han Xu apart.

Han Xu did not answer Hao Xin, picked up the gla.s.s and drank in silence.

Seeing this, Hao Xin simply accompanied Han Xu in drinking.

Cup after cup, bottle after bottle.

Hao Xin didn't remember how much he drank with Han Xu, only remembering that after half the wine on the table was empty, Han Xu's eyes suddenly filled up with tears

He didn't make a sound, but his eyes were red and tears constantly dripped from his eyes.

Han Xu looked at Hao Xin, and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “I feel disgusted.”

“Ah?” Hao Xin stared blankly at Han Xu, wondering what to say.

Han Xu drank another gla.s.s of wine before he slowly said, “I betrayed Qiqi.”

“What?” Hao Xin looked at Han Xu in surprise.

“Five days ago, Qiqi and I came back after dinner and met her friend Zhang Mengzhu at the school gate. Zhang Mengzhu was standing at the school gate with two huge handbags and looked worried.

“Because of the bad relationship with her roommate, Zhang Mengzhu moved out of their bedroom, rented a house outside, and was moving her stuff over.”

“For convenience, she packed everything in two tote bags. She wanted to move it all at once, but didn't expect that it was too heavy. She carried two bags and took a break every few steps.”

“When Qiqi saw Zhang Mengzhu working so hard, she asked me to help. She also had some clothes she bought before, so she went back to her bedroom first.”

“You also know that Qiqi doesn't care about those rumors and had a good relationship with Zhang Mengzhu. The two of them often work together. With Zhang Mengzhu's popularity in our cla.s.s, I can't find anyone else willing to help, and I naturally had to help.

“The two bags were really heavy. When I helped Zhang Mengzhu to her rental house, I was already sweating.”

“In order to express my grat.i.tude, Zhang Mengzhu handed me a bottle of strawberry milk, and said that it was cold and windy outside, all the sweat would give me a cold when I went out. She asked me to sit down and relax.

At this point, Han Xu's eyes were red, and his hand that was holding the wine gla.s.s was shaking slightly.

“I didn't think too much. I sat down and drank the bottle of strawberry milk, and then I lost consciousness.”

“When I opened my eyes again, I found myself tied to the bed by Zhang Mengzhu.”

After speaking these two sentences, Han Xu clenched his fists and closed his eyes.

What happened later, Han Xu couldn't say anything.

Just repeating it again and again in front of Hao Xin: “I'm really disgusted.”

Hao Xin tentatively said: “She drugged you, that is a crime, you should call the police.”

“Zhang Mengzhu has photos and videos in her hand. She said that if I went to the police, she would release them.”

“That woman is too shameless! But you are innocent! The police will surely find evidence.” Hao Xin said, slamming his hand on the table.

“But I don't want to expose this! I don't want Qiqi to know about it! I love her! I want to be with her all my life!” Han Xu was emotional.

“WIll Zhang Mengzhu tell her?”

“Zhang Mengzhu said she just wanted me to see her differently. Since I didn't like her, then forget it, she won't get entangled or let Gao Qi know.”

“Does Gao Qi know?”

“It's been five days since it happened, Qiqi shouldn't know. But she made two calls to me and sent a few text messages that night, but I didn't answer.” Han Xu sighed and tugged his hair.

“What about Zhang Mengzhu these days? Didn't she act up?”

“No, for the time being, she is still with Qiqi. Every time we meet, she greets me as if nothing happened. But every time I see her, I don't think I can act normally."

“I feel like I cheated on Qiqi.” Han Xu's eyes were full of pain.

Hao Xin didn't know how to comfort Han Xu and couldn't figure out how to deal with it. He could only drink wine with Han Xu silently and comforted: “Since the matter has not gotten out of hand, it is better to forget it completely, like nothing ever happened. “

“I also want to forget this thing, but I can't get over this barrier in my heart.” Han Xu said miserably.

“If there is no way to forget, then there's only one option.” Hao Xin looked at Han Xu and proposed: “Gao Qi is a good girl, simple, kind, and understanding. You are a victim of this, tell her everything. She will be considerate to you, so Zhang Mengzhu won't appear in front of you anymore, and you won't be uncomfortable. “

Han Xu didn't say anything, he just drank.

After a long time, Han Xu said to Hao Xin, “Brother Hao, I will think more about this. Please keep it a secret.”

“Okay, I promise you.” Hao Xin solemnly promised Han Xu.

This was the secret that Hao Xin had been keeping for many years.

Hao Xin had secretly consulted a lawyer. Han Xu committed suicide. It has been a week since the incident, and Han Xu could no longer provide evidence of Zhang Mengzhu's drugging. Hence, Zhang Mengzhu would not bear any legal responsibility for this.

Hao Xin didn't want Han Xu's secret to be exposed needlessly, especially his beloved Gao Qi.

In this way, in Gao Qi's heart, Han Xu would always be her perfect first love boyfriend.

Zhang Mengzhu originally did something unforgivable to Han Xu. Han Xu committed suicide. She was even more guilty, and naturally she would not voluntarily speak up about it.

This secret was thus kept for a full six years.

“So, in your heart, Zhang Mengzhu killed Han Xu?” Wu Liang asked.

“Why can't she? It was she who did that vulgar thing, which drove A Xu to death. Wasn't she the murderer you were investigating?” Haoxin looked at Wu Liang, and asked angrily.

In the case of Han Xu's suicide, Gao Qi's hands were clean.

In the eyes of everyone, she was synonymous with simplicity and kindness.

If he told Hao Xin that the person he suspected was actually Gao Qi, Hao Xin would never believe it.

However, Wu Liang always believed that this matter had something to do with Gao Qi. Even though Zhang Mengzhu's behavior was suspicious, it was just a cover.

Wu Liang said loftily, “My suspicions are also on Zhang Mengzhu. I just confirmed it with you. How much do you know about Zhang Mengzhu?”

“Zhang Mengzhu's reputation at school had always been bad. Every Friday night, there were various cars waiting to pick her up at the school gate, and then take her back to school on Sunday. What Zhang Mengzhu was doing, everyone knew. Many looked down on her and didn't want to talk to her at all. “

“Zhang Mengzhu's roommates were even more averse to her. For fear that she would be infected with any unclean disease because they shared the bathroom, the other three people often attacked her with words and tried to kick her out of the dormitory. “

“Only Gao Qi, who was simple and kind, never looked at Zhang Mengzhu with colored gla.s.ses and was willing to be friends with her.”

“Zhang Mengzhu was actually poor. Her family 's conditions were particularly bad, and she applied for a student loan. Sleeping with others on weekends may be necessary to survive, but she should not have touched A Xu. “

Speaking of Zhang Mengzhu, Hao Xin couldn't restrain his anger.

“Was there anything unusual about Zhang Mengzhu after Han Xu died?”

“After A Xu's accident, she also moved out. I don't know if she was taken away, but the quality of her life obviously became two grades higher than before. It was likely to have been raised by someone rich. “

Zhang Mengzhu had been short of money. After Han Xu's accident, her quality of life improved by two grades.

Coupled with the countless clues obtained before, Wu Liang felt that he had found the answer.

What he had to do now was just to prove his conjecture.
