Chen Hao
Chapter 76 The Answer of the Story
After notifying Yang Yong, Yuan Wen returned here once more.
Because Chief Chen's door-kicking action was unusually violent just now, Yuan Wen was worried that Hanhan would be frightened.
But to her surprise, Hanhan didn't seem to be bothered by Chief Chen's actions just now. She was still sitting obediently on the sofa eating snacks, without even a trace of fear on her face.
This greatly surprised Yuan Wen.
Children are generally timid, especially little girls. Hanhan's personality is too rare.
If Yuan Wen knew that not long ago, Hanhan had ordered the battle warriors to slaughter the invaders and successfully disposed of the invaders' bodies, perhaps she wouldn't be so surprised.
Great courage, not knowing what fear is.
This may be a natural talent.
At times, Hanhan's courage was so great that even Li Tianran was amazed.
"Hanhan, can I ask you a question?" Yuan Wen couldn't see the situation in booth 03, and felt unusually agitated.
The things that happened today had greatly impacted her worldview.
She couldn't accept this way of doing things.
But at this time, she couldn't help in any way, and feeling irritable, she suddenly became very interested in Li Tianran.
"Mmm." Hanhan nodded obediently while eating Oreos.
"What kind of person is your brother?" Yuan Wen asked softly.
"He's... the best, best person in the world!" Hanhan opened her arms and gestured, saying, "Even better than very good!"
"..." Yuan Wen was a little helpless. "Maybe I wasn't clear enough. Do you understand your brother? What does he usually like to do? Who does he like to interact with? Or... does he have any little secrets?"
At this moment, Yuan Wen actually had some suspicions about Li Tianran.
Because through the interrogation of Wang Bing, they accurately determined that the firearms Li Tianran distributed to Wang Bing and others were definitely not the hunting rifles and homemade guns commonly found on the black market, but military-grade firearms.
Weapons of this caliber are strictly controlled. Where did Li Tianran get them?
Although Yuan Wen felt that Li Tianran's team's annihilation of the Wells gang was very manly, and it was ridiculous for the higher-ups to treat Li Tianran as a threat, this matter was indeed a bit problematic when thought about carefully.
Even if Yuan Wen didn't want to admit it, she had to face the fact that Li Tianran might really have close ties with some hidden "big shots."
Otherwise, how could Li Tianran, a small farm owner, get these guns?
Even if Li Tianran was a hero, he was a "fringe hero"!
"He likes me!" Hanhan blinked and said, "Big brother likes to play with Hanhan the most."
Yuan Wen felt a little powerless.
"Then, what about little secrets?" Yuan Wen said with a smile, "I love hearing other people's secrets. How about we exchange? You tell me a secret about your brother, and I'll tell you a secret about me, okay?"
"Sister, since it's a secret, of course it's impossible to tell others!" Hanhan looked at Yuan Wen with a strange expression, and then asked with a grin, "Sister, do you want to find out about big brother's background, and think I'm young and easily deceived?"
Yuan Wen was completely speechless.
This little girl was simply a monster!
Her thoughts were completely seen through by her. How could she talk about it?
Yuan Wen held back for a long time, not knowing how to start.
"Hanhan, let me tell you a story." Yuan Wen finally said.
"I'm not interested in the story of the Three Little Pigs!" Hanhan shook her head.
"It's a brand new story." Yuan Wen smiled, sorted out her thoughts, and said, "Once upon a time, there was a couple living in a small mountain village. The husband chopped wood during the day, and the wife was in poor health and stayed in bed all the time. Although life was hard, they were very happy."
"One day, when the husband went into the mountains to chop wood, he found a huge pit. Some copper coins were scattered around the edge of the pit. The husband was very happy. He picked up all the copper coins and took them home. That night, the couple had meat to eat. They felt very happy."
"The next day, the husband came to the pit again. He saw copper coins again, but the difference was that the copper coins were closer to the edge of the pit."
"The husband carefully walked to the edge of the pit and picked up the copper coins again."
"In this way, the husband stopped chopping wood and went to the magical pit every day to pick up copper coins. The copper coins became more and more, and the distance from the pit became closer and closer."
"The couple became rich because of these copper coins, and the wife's health gradually began to improve because of the added nutrition."
"One day, a wise man met the husband. The wise man sensed that danger seemed to be coming to the husband, and wanted to ask about his recent experiences."
"But the husband didn't listen. Instead, he became alert, thinking that the wise man wanted to steal his copper coins. So he pushed the wise man away, hurriedly went home, picked up his bag, and went into the mountains, wanting to pick up all the money at once. Because he had seen a large amount of gold and silver in the depths of the pit. If he could bring all of them back, they would never have to worry about life again."
"The wise man couldn't dissuade the husband, so he came to his house, asked the wise man's wife, and told her that her husband would face disaster. No matter what the husband was doing recently, he needed to stop immediately!"
"The wise man asked about what her husband had been doing recently, but the wife hesitated and remained silent at this time."
"Because she was afraid that once she said it, her current life would be changed! She was also afraid of being blamed by her husband, so she chose to remain silent."
"But that night, what she waited for was not her husband, but a corpse."
"Because he wanted to take a piece of gold embedded on the edge of the pit, her husband accidentally fell to the bottom of the pit and was killed."
"When the wife saw this, she went crazy. She began to regret infinitely why she didn't stop her husband earlier."
"In this way, a happy family was broken."
"Because of the husband's greed, and because of the wife's inaction."
Yuan Wen paused here, and then looked at Hanhan and said, "The husband in this story is your brother. He may have unintentionally done something wrong, but there is still a chance to save it in time; the wife is you! The wise man is me."
"The key to this story is not the husband, but the wife's choice."
"Now your brother may be standing on the very edge of the demon pit, and will soon fall down! You should be able to see that he is in great danger now!"
Yuan Wen looked at Hanhan calmly and said softly, "Hanhan, you are a very smart child. I believe you can understand the meaning of this story."
"Only by telling me what you know can I help you."
"Now, tell me your choice."
"Is it to stop your brother from falling into the demon pit, or to choose to stand aside and silently watch this scene happen?"
Hanhan could indeed understand the meaning of Yuan Wen's story. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Sister, are you cursing my big brother?"
"Hanhan, you know I don't mean that." Yuan Wen said seriously.
Hanhan fell into deep thought.
After a long time, she raised her head and showed a bright smile: "If... insisting on going to the big pit to pick up money is big brother's choice, then I will neither stop him nor silently watch him."
"I will choose to go with him."
Yuan Wen was stunned. She frowned, "What kind of answer is this?"
"This is... a family's answer." Hanhan smiled innocently: "For big brother's choice, whether it's evil, righteous, greedy, correct, or wrong, I will follow his footsteps without hesitation."
Yuan Wen stared blankly at Hanhan.
At this moment, she finally realized that she would never be able to ask Hanhan for any secrets about Li Tianran.
These siblings were completely different from ordinary relatives.
They were the kind of relationship where... if Li Tianran said to kill someone, Hanhan would immediately hand over the knife; if Li Tianran said to jump into the river, Hanhan would jump in after him.
The two of them were an independent world.
Living only for each other.
In their world, there was only each other, without right or wrong, good or evil.
This kind of relationship was good.
This kind of relationship was very bad.
Yuan Wen didn't know what to say.
After a long silence, she silently turned around and walked out of booth 03.
