Ch110 - Homicide Flower Shop (7) ― He really looks like an angel

Tao Su’an woke up on time at seven o’clock in the morning.

He slowly opened his eyes, and his curly hair was scattered on the pillow. The sunlight filtered in through the white gauze curtains outside the window, and the white lily of the valley on the bedside table bloomed quietly with the morning dew. Tao Su’an blinked very slowly, then he picked up the headphones next to the pillow and put them to his ears, and said softly: “…brother?”

The earphones flashed red, and a hoarse, tired magnetic voice said: “En?”

Tao Su’an huddled in the quilt, his ears seemed to be burned by the sound. He lowered his eyes, “Brother got up so early.”

Zong Nan smiled and joked: “Brother didn’t sleep at all last night.”

Tao Su’an asked: “Why don’t you sleep?”

“No reason,” Zong Nan never liked talking about his insomnia with others, so he kept the topic vague, “Little student, it’s time for you to have breakfast.”

Tao Su’an whispered in a soft voice, “But it’s still early and I don’t want to have breakfast.”

Zong Nan: “You must have breakfast.”

Old Liu had already gotten out of the car to buy breakfast. For a man like Zong Nan, whose physical function was still at its peak, skipping breakfast was as difficult as being tortured. The feeling of being hungry was really uncomfortable. Zong Nan knew that many young students had the habit of skipping breakfast, but when Tao Su’an refused, he couldn’t help but frown.

He’s not used to being taken care of like this.

Tao Su’an thought,this is it again.

Before Tao Su’an’s parents had the accident, they had never spoken to Tao Su’an like this.

He remained motionless and did not say anything about going to eat or not eating. While he was in a daze, Old Liu has already carried two bags of steaming steamed buns and soy milk and got into the car, “The meat ones are plum and vegetable fresh meat buns and pork buns, the vegetarian ones are only radish and sauerkraut, and I also saw a few leek boxes. Not to mention, although it is old here, the stuff is really cheap. So many items are less than twenty yuan.”

Zong Nan took a bun and took a big bite, staring at the surveillance screen. Tao Su’an lay on the bed like a corpse, as if he didn’t take his words to heart.

He didn’t know why he suddenly felt unhappy. Was it just because Tao Su’an didn’t listen to him? But Zong Nan has never been a dictator in life and work. He respects everyone’s independent ideas and understands that individual individuals form a human group. Although he is decisive, he is not a tyrant. As he has always believed, people’s thoughts are difficult to control. He will not care about other people’s thoughts. He will only control himself and not have evil thoughts.

Zong Nan has been doing a great job. Now, Tao Su’an is also an independent individual. He has the right to make any decision about himself, such as whether he wants to be treated as a lamb by the murderer, whether he wants to raise a cat, such as…he can decide whether to have breakfast or not.

Zong Nan’s chewing speed slowed down a little. He took out his spare cell phone for no apparent reason and sent a message to Tao Su’an using Yu Ping’s number.

“Have you had breakfast?”

Tao Su’an got dressed, went downstairs to buy breakfast, and then took a casual look around.

There are no standard parking spaces in the old apartment, and cars are parked everywhere. Grandparents parked electric scooters, and aunties bicycles with baby seats interspersed among the vehicles, and three-wheeled and motor carriages can split the world equally.

In such a lively scene, Tao Su’an couldn’t find the car Zong Nan was sitting in. He lowered his eyes in disappointment, but his desire to see him did not disappear.

Zong Nan is a very charming person. Tao Su’an has met him twice, but in the previous two meetings, Zong Nan only left a simple “gentle and humorous” impression on Tao Su’an. This is obviously not all of Zong Nan. character. Tao Su’an wanted to see such a strange person again.

He want to see if this person is really a good person.

He staggered back to the house with his slippers on, and was about to open the door when he suddenly heard a roar from diagonally across the street.

“I’ll beat you two little bastards to death!” The middle-aged man’s anger pierced the sky, suddenly breaking the tranquility, “You’re still running?! Stop right there!”

Su An turned around and looked.

A child, who looked to be only eight or nine years old, pulled his younger brother and ran quickly in the corridor, his thin calves and arms making fragile shadows. The younger child had a frightened expression and his big eyes were filled with tears. He bit his lip and tried his best to keep up with his big brother.

A middle-aged man chased them out of the house, he was very tall, as high as a room door, and his belly was as high as a six-month pregnant woman. Such a fat and tall man was like a big mountain, enough to make the two children feel the despair that the sky was falling and there was no way out.

Su An took a step towards the railing and waved vigorously.

The child running away in a hurry diagonally with his younger brother saw him, and looked at him with panic and numbness.

Su An waved to him and pointed at himself anxiously, “Come here!”

Kang XiaoRan was startled, he gritted his teeth, then picked up his younger brother, and ran towards Su An.

He ran downstairs in a hurry, his arms getting heavier and heavier. Kang XiaoGuo hugged his neck and looked at his father, who was chasing after them, with a ferocious expression. With tears in his eyes, he whispered: “Big brother, let me go and run.”

At Kang XiaoGuo’s tender age, because his family didn’t have any money, he didn’t even go to kindergarten. He didn’t know what the big deal was, but he knew that if his father didn’t hit them, his father would lose his temper even more.

He will beat them so hard, it will kill them.

His big brother has been beaten many times. Kang XiaoGou doesn’t want his father to hit his big brother, so his father can just beat him.

Kang XiaoRan gritted his teeth and rushed out of the building with his younger brother in cold sweat, running through the crowd to the opposite building. The drunk Kang Qicheng chased them out until he was out of breath. He was a little sober from the hangover, but his anger was even higher.

Staring at his angry and terrifying eyes, Kang XiaoGuo shuddered, just like the moment when he returned to the cramped room and was protected by his big brother and endured his father’s angry beating.

The crowd around him made a way. Kang Xiaoran saw someone trying to stop his father, but was stopped by another person, “Don’t go up there…their father is crazy. Do you think we haven’t stopped or persuaded him before? Kang Qicheng is an old man. If anyone cares about his sons, he will hold them back and let others raise his sons for him. He also blocked people’s doors every day, knocked and kicked them at night, and wouldn’t let anyone inside out during the day. As long as he didn’t give him money, he wouldn’t leave.”

Kang XiaoRan lowered his head and walked with exhaustion and embarrassment. He buried his head on his younger brother’s shoulder and wiped away his tears.

Whispers flew past his ears.

“Didn’t anyone call the police?”

“Of course, they did, but before the police came, he ran out of sight, and as soon as the police left, he came back, difficult to deal with. Anyone who really gets entangled with him will not be able to get rid of this mangy candy without paying a fortune.”

Kang XiaoRan’s steps slowed down.

He hesitated. If he ran to the house opposite, wouldn’t that big brother be entangled by his father?

Just as he was slowing down, Kang Qicheng had already caught up with him, his ferocious look more terrifying than anything else among the two children. Kang XiaoGuo sobbed and told the truth from the bottom of his heart, “Big brother, I’m so scared.”

“I…” Kang Xiaoran wiped his tears, “Younger brother, I will protect you, don’t be afraid.”

A pair of hands suddenly gently picked up his younger brother from his exhausted arms. The brown-curly-haired big brother took his hand and led him quickly towards home, “Don’t be dazed, we’ll be there soon.”

The child in her arms was obviously five or six years old, but he was as light as a soft quilt. Su An turned around and saw that the violent father had been blocked behind the crowd by well-meaning people.

Good people always have nowhere to turn when faced with rogues.

But using force to vent their anger on children like this, these scoundrels who shamelessly suck blood from their neighbors fear violence most.

They always feel that the police will not harm them, so they feel confident. They always feel that it is natural for a father to beat his son, so they are not afraid at all.

Kang XiaoRan and the others had lost their mother. Even if their father was as terrifying as a demon, they did not dare to leave this home and the only adult in the family.

Su An took the two children to the door of his house, and gently put Kang Xiaoguo on the ground, then he lowered his head and opened the door.

Kang Qicheng, who climbed up panting heavily, yelled in the corridor: “Fuck you, you bastard deserves a beating! Whoever is so nosy, I will kick your door down!”

Both brothers shuddered at the same time, and the tears in the younger brother’s eyes trembled with fear.

Su An opened the door quickly, he pushed the two children in, and locked the door with a snap before Kang Qicheng climbed to the floor.

Kang XiaoRan and his younger brother couldn’t react. They looked back at the locked door, which turned into a tall hero in their hearts. But the next moment, their father’s footsteps outside and the sound of yelling curses suddenly made their hearts tighten. The two of them covered their mouths and slowed down their breathing, like death row prisoners waiting for beheading.

Su An gently pulled the two brothers and brought them to a clean and bright dining room. The soy milk was sweet and the steamed buns were fragrant. The taste buds of the two brothers were stimulated, and their stomachs complained of hunger. Kang Xiaoguo swallowed, and his stomach rumbled.

He timidly pulled on his big brother’s clothes and glanced at Tao Su’an carefully, “Big brother, I’m hungry…”

Kang Xiaoran was also hungry, but most of his mind was still outside the door. Their father’s footsteps were getting closer and closer, and his heart was getting higher and higher, but suddenly someone shouted: “The police are coming!”

Kang Qicheng looked back and saw that the police car was driving under the apartment with its lights on. His expression twisted for a moment, and he spat on the ground, “Which bastard reported the crime? They will die sooner or later, damn it.”

He glared hard at Tao Suan’s door, then turned around and ran away.

He wondered in his heart, from the time he chased the two bastards, it only took two or three minutes. How could the police car come out so fast?

In the room.

Tao Su’an’s eyes lit up slightly. He seemed to have thought of something. He walked up to the living room and showed a big sweet smile to the hidden surveillance camera.

This smile was like the rising sun, unreasonably and domineeringly rushing into people’s eyes and hearts.

Zong Nan’s heart softened, looking at his smile and his hair, he couldn’t help but think almost instantly, he really looked like an angel.
