This is really a big surprise! I grabbed his wrist. “This Tyrone has a problem with your cousin. Does it mean that he is useful to us?”
“As long as he can use something, it will naturally be useful to us, but if he can’t, then he is a waste of chess.” He looked at me. “This Tyrone, I have known before, is an upright person, but stubborn.”
When it comes to obstinacy, I somehow think of Quincy. At that time, people who saw little clear bones probably had this virtue.
He raised his glass to me, and I touched it lightly with him and we drank together.
“Did you ever think you would do it before you found the evidence?”
“I have always felt unwilling to the death of my father, and I always feel that it seems that there is still something missing, but I really never thought that I would embark on this road.” I smiled bitterly.
I added. “After all, it is not so easy to be an enemy with the whole world and open up a deeply buried past.”
“Maybe,” he raised his eyebrows, “the whole world is not as bad as you think, because now, you have comrades fighting side by side.”
I looked at him, and my heart flinched a moment after. He clinked glasses with me again, and I raised my glass and gulped down a small amount of red wine at the bottom of the glass.
Cheney poured me another glass, and before I could take it, my cell phone rang. I got up and went back to my room, picked up my cell phone beside the table, and answered. “Hello, Echo.”
“Let me guess, you didn’t watch the news just now, did you?”
I frowned. “Yes, what’s the matter?”
“Then I will become the first person to break the news. I will tell you great news. Zaniyah has suffered retribution.”
Zaniyah?
I wondered what news and asked. “Just say it straight. What happened?”
“I was in a bar, listening to people talking about Zaniyah, and then quickly turned on my mobile phone and searched. Guess what, this afternoon, Zaniyah got drunk in the Royal Club, and as a result, she had a relationship with the driver and was photographed by the driving recorder in her car. It was called a romantic one. Now, this video has been coded, but because there are screenshots, it is really justified. But there is one most important thing you wanna know.” Echo said and deliberately gave me a suspenseful feeling, which tickled my heart.
“What?”
“The most important thing is that someone exposed that the man had AIDS. Do you think Zaniyah suffered retribution?”
My heart tightened, and I looked back at Cheney on the sunny stage. He was looking at the night sky in the distance, his expression focused.
“Krista … Krista, are you listening?”
I came to my senses, “Echo, I’m listening.”
“I said that Zaniyah has suffered retribution.”
Is Cheney being the reason for Zaniyah’s retribution?
“Krista,” Echo sighed silently, “what are you thinking? Why don’t you talk?”
“Well, sorry Echo, I was a little surprised and scared.”
“Yeah, I was shocked when I first watched the news, but now, I just think she really deserved it.”
“Echo, forget it, I want to see this news.”
“Okay, okay, look, let’s come out to celebrate later.”
I said, “Well, good.”
After hanging up the phone, I directly went to messages. After hesitating for a moment, I sent a text message to my mother. “The news said that Zaniyah is infected with AIDS. You’d better leave there immediately, or you will be in danger. I’ll say that. It’s up to you to decide whether you leave or not.”
After I texted her, I went back to the balcony and looked at Cheney sitting there. He hooked his lips, reached out and hooked my waist, and pulled me to his leg.
“Why are you so serious all of a sudden?”
“The interesting thing you said can’t be Zaniyah’s thing.”
He raised his eyebrows. “Did Echo just tell you?”
“Hmm.”
“This woman, really spoiling the atmosphere.” He slurred.
“Did you do this?” I asked sullenly.
He looked at me and said lazily, “What do you think?”
“It’s you because there can’t be so many coincidences in this world. Yesterday, she gave me a man with AIDS, and today she slept with a man with AIDS. This must be premeditated.”
He generously admitted, “Yes, I did it.”
I stood up, looked down at him, and said disgruntled, “Why are you doing this?”
He also pulled down his face. “Are you angry?”
I breathed, trying to suppress the fire in my heart, but I didn’t suppress “Can I not be angry? Who wants you to avenge me?”
“Krista, have you thrown all the fears and grievances you suffered yesterday in vain?”
“This is my business,” I looked at him with anger in my eyes, my left hand rested on my hips, and my right hand covered my forehead.
“Krista,” he got up. “Why are you so ungrateful?”
I put down my right hand and looked at Cheney seriously. “Cheney, you… forget it, I won’t argue with you. Listen, I did it all. I arranged for people to take medicine, and I instructed someone with AIDS to sleep with her. This matter has nothing to do with you. If the police ask, please say you don’t know anything.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Cheney burst out laughing. I held his shoulders seriously. “Cheney, don’t laugh, I’m serious.”
He took advantage of the situation and hugged me in his arms. “This matter is also related to me.”
I tried to push him away, but he hugged me tighter. Seeing him playing around, I was even more anxious. “Cheney, don’t do this. Listen to me. People like Zaniyah don’t deserve your dirty hands and revenge on her. It’s my job, not you.”
“You are soft-hearted, I don’t believe you will retaliate more brilliantly than me,” he bowed his head. “Don’t move, it makes people feel strange.”
I looked up at him, and I was so anxious that he was still in the mood to joke, “Cheney.”
He held me tightly in his arms. “Next time you want to worry about me, just say, don’t be so mindless and angry with me first.”
“Don’t smirk, I almost lost because of you…”
“Do you think I will leave evidence?” He interrupted me. “In your eyes, am I so stupid?”
“How can you leave no evidence? If the police really want to check, they will always find you.”
He raised his chin. “Yesterday, it was Zaniyah who broke into my lounge, and I set her up to rest. There were two glasses of wine, one with medicine and one with myrrh. No one invited her to drink, but she took one of them on her own initiative. Maybe God doesn’t like her malignancy, so she picked the one with medicine. As for the AIDS man, he acted as a driver, and the car door was unlocked. As long as Zaniyah told him to roll, he would get off. Zaniyah’s situation today is much better than yesterday’s because she can easily avoid that man, no one forced her to have sex with that man with AIDS, Zaniyah took the initiative, you say, what kind of crime is this?”
After hearing his words, I lifted up my head and breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, I asked, “But what if Zaniyah turns in and says it was the medicine in that glass of wine that hurt her?”
“That glass of wine is prepared for me and my wife to flirt. She broke in and drank indiscriminately, and she blamed others? Moreover, she also absolutely did not dare to call the police.” He hooked his lips. “Because she coerced you to have sex with the man with AIDS yesterday, we are holding it in our hands. Her blatant threat is called a crime.”
I’m relieved, I just really almost broke my guts. But… I looked up again and stared at him. “Don’t do this kind of thing again in the future. If I really bring trouble to you, I can’t forgive myself in my life.”
With a smile on his mouth, he hugged me with one hand and squeezed my chin with the other hand, and kissed me. I couldn’t refuse last night, and now it seems that… I can’t refuse even more.
