Chapter 33: Uninvited guests
"He's lying, Robin isn't in the middle of the road at all, and she's a **** half-step away from the road!"
Luo Bin's boyfriend, Huey, who witnessed his girlfriend turning into fleshy flesh, said through gritted teeth.
"Calm down, don't be like this, Huey, don't be angry. Just..."
His father, who looked a lot like Simon Pegg, comforted him, "Just... he knows, it's just his nonsense."
"Ding dong!"
When Huey's heart was burning with anger and ready to vent, the doorbell rang.
The person here is a public relations lawyer from Walter Company.
The well-dressed lawyer in a suit took out a document, "Everyone in Walter is saddened by Robin's misfortune. However, as far as we know, you and Robin are not married, just boyfriend and girlfriend, so come strictly Said there was no legitimate claim."
The lawyer stared at Huey, who didn't say a word, and continued: "However, the Water Company wants to do what it needs to do. There are forty-five thousand dollars here. As long as you sign here, I can give you a check."
The lawyer tapped his fingers on the signature and looked at Huey with a smile.
"Is this a nondisclosure agreement?"
"In fact, it's just a common nondisclosure agreement."
The lawyer shrugged his shoulders.
"After signing the agreement, I can't say anything, and pretend that nothing happened? It's like I didn't hold Luo Bin's arm in my hand?"
Huey's tone gradually became irritable.
"I know you're sad, but we just want to help you."
"Then say sorry."
The lawyer showed a shocked expression, "What did you say?"
"Every one of you is saying 'our condolences', 'our condolences', but no one ever said 'Sorry' in my eyes."
He was trying his best to suppress his anger and pain.
If it does not erupt in silence, it will perish in silence. Huey, who couldn't control his anger, grabbed the lawyer's neck and lifted him up across the table, "I won't sign anything, so...you **** get out of here!"
......
Well, all of the above are Huey's imagination.
The truth is, Huey was stunned the moment the lawyer handed over the check.
"Sorry, I...I need to think about it."
He was like a duck whose neck was pinched, his face flushed.
The lawyer expressed his understanding, left his contact information, and left.
The space is empty, only the sound of the wall clock passing by.
Huey has never hated his cowardice as much as he does now!
He felt that he was a coward and incompetent. His girlfriend died, but he was submissive in the face of his accomplices, and he didn't even dare to say harsh words.
You can only show prostitution in your own fantasy world, it's a complete jerk!
Huey, who fell into a world of self-pity, spent the whole day in decadence and self-blame.
At noon, he walked into the video store where he was working like a walking dead.
Robin's favorite Billy Joel's song was playing in the video store, making him even more manic at the moment.
"Can put that **** music..."
"Ding ding ding!"
Huey was about to lose his temper when the glass door hung with the bell suddenly opened.
"Wow, Billy Joel's song, 'Live your **** life, don't ask me how I'm feeling, because I'm so bad I'm going mad!' Really philosophical lyrics, like Nietzsche said - 'The world is full of restlessness, everyone is eager to break free from the shackles'."
The Asian young man wearing a black and white trench coat smiled at him and said in a familiar tone.
"I like Billy Joel."
The uninvited guest added another sentence.
"Forehead......"
Huey looked at the uninvited guest in front of him and was speechless, "Is there anything I can do for you? Sir."
The uninvited guest at the audio shop was of course the elusive Wei Chen.
"I heard about that, Huey."
Wei Chen picked up a bear with a surveillance camera and shook it vigorously, like pouring ketchup out of a bottle.
"Huey, your girlfriend, she wasn't standing on the road at the time, she was still a long way from the road. Also, you didn't accept compensation, did you?"
"Sorry, who are you?"
Huey didn't let his guard down, and still looked at Wei Chen cautiously.
At first glance, the other party is the kind of person who can get him into more trouble, so he doesn't want to get involved with the other party.
"Eric Xavier. I think we can have a good talk."
Huey stood behind the counter and thought quietly for a second, "Although you're right, sir, I don't want to talk about personal affairs during working hours."
Wei Chen clapped his hands, and the "Opening" sign hanging on the glass door was instantly flipped over and changed to "Closed".
The person who flipped the sign was a big white man in a suit. He was standing outside the door with a straight body. At first glance, he looked like a professional bodyguard. Next to him, there was a big man wearing sunglasses, and the two of them jointly guarded the glass door of the small video store.
That must be the bodyguard of the mysterious person in front of him.
Huey thought.
"Now we can have a good talk."
"OK, then... what can I do for you?"
Facing what might be a legendary figure, Huey unconsciously lowered his posture.
"Sometimes, I always think..."
Wei Chen leaned against the counter and put down the bear in his hand that was about to be crushed by him, "After all, there are very few people who die at a young age especially in the United States. Tragedy is unavoidable, but in In this country, the tragedy is usually not how he died, but how he lived. Failed marriage, death of close relatives, arrogant children, self-mutilation, wife abuse, cat and dog abuse, loneliness, depression, yawning, confusion …”
"Huey, are you the kind of person who doesn't know how to live?"
Wei Chen's abyss-like eyes stared at Huey, which immediately made him panic.
As if seeing through the weakest part of his heart, Huey stammered, "No, sir, I...I..."
"No, Huey, you don't have to answer me. You just need to listen to me quietly."
Wei Chen interrupted him.
"There are many others like Luo Bin, who are young, have great years, and are run over by a group of **** superhumans like ants. And the reason why you haven't heard of such a thing is not only the capital's control of public opinion , but also because the public doesn't want to know the truth, they just like to indulge in the security that superheroes give them."
"Huey, would you like to continue listening to me?" Wei Chen suddenly stopped, as if he wanted to ask his opinion.
"me......"
Huey swallowed nervously.
Suddenly, he suddenly saw his dead girlfriend.
Standing in a dark corner, he quietly looked at himself. Black blood, thick, viscous, with clots. slid off her face.
Like dark red syrup, it flows down the body.
The blood was mixed with some white tissue, like maggots trapped in resin.
He has seen such sights, such blood.
