Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 204 Realizing the life promised to me in others

  Verak suddenly felt ashamed.

  He found that after he made some 'achievements' recently, he became a little self-righteous. Obviously it is the choice of other people's life, but he insists on taking it on himself, pretending to be good for others, in fact, it is more for the sake of his own reputation, and he can't help but arrange everything.

   But everyone is free and has the right to make their own choices.

  Taking other people's affairs on their own, to put it bluntly, is restricting other people's freedom. Everyone is an adult with the ability to judge and take responsibility. Why can I take all the responsibilities on myself with dignity and awe? think.

"...Okay." Verak accepted the solution proposed by the three, and they fought for it internally, "I will only say the last sentence, I respect the choice of each of you, and I should not block or obliterate the brilliance you should radiate , but I also don't want to see you guys acting on your emotions and making immature decisions."

   "No, don't worry." Nord vowed.

   Diaz and Murphy said together: "Understood."

"Then I will leave this matter to you to decide." Verak let out a long sigh of relief, his knots were untied, and he had a new understanding of some things, "Change your mind at any time, come to me at any time, I don't force you to go adventure."

"It's too late to grab such a good performance opportunity. How can we let it go? Letting it go to someone else, it's really been a waste of life for so many years." Nord was very positive about this matter, "Seriously, Verak, you just Don't worry about it. You and Mr. Keating make a plan, and we'll execute it when the time comes."

   Verak stared at Nord for a long time, and finally showed a helpless smile.

  Some time ago, he always felt that Nord hadn't really experienced things, and hadn't grown up in a strict sense. But now he realizes that Nord actually understands everything.

  At the beginning, Fletcher, the housekeeper of the Thomas family, threatened him and Dempsey. He understood the possible consequences of refusing, but he still refused.

  After fleeing to Montrego, he knew that it would be dangerous to come back, but he came back to Verak without hesitation.

   Today, he also knows the dangers he faces if he becomes exposed to the government. But as usual, he chose to strive to be this person.

  He knows everything.

   "Let's all go back." Verak's smile gradually dissipated, and the three of them went back to their respective houses. "I allow you to take a good rest for a few days... Cherish this period of peace that may not be there again for a long time."

   "Let's go." Nord drank all the hot water.

   Diaz and Murphy did.

   Then the three of them went out.

   "They have your shadow on them." Keating, who was watching quietly, said.

"It's not my shadow, it's the light of the new world shining on them." Verak lowered his head and put away the cup, "Probably seeing that beam of light, I know what I should live for in this life .”

   Keating sighed: "This is the power of the new world."

   "Because we all want to live in the correct world." After tidying up, Verak closed his eyes and breathed calmly.

   "Now that the biggest problem is solved, we should go all out to make a detailed plan."

   "Yes." Verak nodded slightly, "They have made their choice, and I will do my best to ensure their safety."

  —

  Government Building Interrogation Room, Intelligence Bureau, Ministry of Security

  The two hours given by Locke Shriver have expired, and Dawn, who was locked in a separate interrogation room, still has no idea about the next step.

  Verak helped him so much, how could he reveal the secret.

   What's more, Ross, who has never been hardened in the prison, can withstand torture for so long for secrets. He confessed so quickly that he is not worthy of being called a man.

  He still remembered that he and Verak had talked about their plans after going out.

   What Verak said moved him extremely.

  —What I'm going out to do is to make sure you can live the life you want.

  If he was alone like Rose, it would be worth everything if he knew Veraker in prison, worked with him on the escape, and even if it was just a short month of freedom.

  In order to keep his secret, in order to enable Verak to achieve that magnificent goal, he is willing to give his life.

   But the reality is not that simple.

  His wife and daughter are also here. He can risk his life, but he can't bear to watch them die together.

  He has been arrested in prison for so long, and he has not shared the slightest share for his wife who is struggling to raise his daughter. He is already extremely guilty. If he makes them die here because of his choice, he will be even more in vain as a husband and father.

   "How are you thinking?" Rock Shriver came to the door of the interrogation room on time.

   "Give me some more time." Dawn didn't want to face this choice.

Locke Shriver suddenly became impatient, and deliberately threatened Dawn: "A secret is more important, or is your wife and daughter more important? You sacrificed your life for a secret that we may not know when we can ask it from other places. Your own family, is it worth it?"

   Dawn didn't know.

"Have you ever thought that if your family died today because you refused to speak out, and we immediately asked the result from another person tomorrow, would you die unjustly?" Rock Shriver said for Dawn Pointing out the pros and cons, "Is the life of your family not worth the day we knew the secret?"

   "Give me some more time... I really don't know how to choose..." Dawn gritted his teeth.

"I don't know how to choose?" Locke Shriver smiled. He patted the subordinate next to him, and pointed at Dawn who seemed to be a joke. "You don't know how to choose? Either you die in vain, or you take a sum of money to be fair and honest." Is there a need to choose? Everyone knows that there is only one way, right?"

  Dawn has never felt this kind of entanglement and suffering in his life: "I..."

"Do you think Chris will care about your life?" Rock Shriver tried to break Dawn's psychological defense step by step, "He just used you in prison, he just wanted to escape, you are nothing. His His father is the famous Thomas Carmine. Even if he was caught, he would not be able to die due to the power of his family. But what about you? In the end, regardless of success or failure, his family was clean and unscathed, but most of you lost everything .”

   This is ridiculous.

  Verak once frankly told Dawn about his true identity. He was just an ordinary person in a slum.

  Even if he is the noble son of the Thomas family, it turns out that he is of no use.

"You guys are different, don't imagine how valuable your life can be." Rock Shriver said dryly, he hated everyone who had dealt with 'Chris', "Your greatest value, It is to protect the safety of your family, and they are the ones who deserve your sacrifice."

   "Why do you force me to be an ordinary person..." Dawn said, "You have already said that I am nothing in Chris' eyes, so do you think a person like me will know his secrets?"

   "You should know better."

   "I knew he was Chris, his family was rich, and he was the leader of an organization that opposed the government. You probably don't know about these things, and it's unnecessary for you to ask me."

  Rock Shriver's face was terribly gloomy: "Why is there any need to pretend to be stupid? If there is really no secret, then what is Rose hiding in his mouth?"

   "How do I know that in his mouth—"

   "You're closer to Chris! He knows you and he knows you!" Rock Shriver yelled, "Say it!"

   "Give me some more—"

   "Go! Bring me his wife and daughter!" Rock Shriver interrupted Dawn again.

  He can be regarded as someone who has seen through 'Chris'.

  Put interests in front of them, they will only pretend to be wrong, but if you want them to face the reality, if you want them to compromise, it is better to be straightforward!

  Rock Shriver knows that Dawn cares about his family, so he must win!

   Today he's going to press hard, make Dawn breathless, and reveal all his secrets!

   "Don't touch them!" Dawn was anxious, "I beg you, give me some more time! I will definitely give you the answer!"

   "Speak up now, there is still room for everything." Rock Shriver did not back down.

   "I beg you, don't touch them, don't touch them..." The softest part of Dawn's heart was stabbed, his eyes were red, and he could no longer remain calm in front of Rock Shriver, begging.

  The more Dawn is like this, the more Rock Shriver feels that hope is in sight.

  He wants to expand his advantage, take advantage of the victory and pursue, and completely defeat Dawn's defense.

"Say!"

   "I..." Dawn was in extreme pain. On the one hand, it is equivalent to giving him a second life, with great ideals, and on the other hand, is the family he has been ashamed of over the years.

  Which side he betrays will make him fall into great pain.

   Just when Dawn was pushed to the brink of collapse, his wife and daughter were pulled and dragged over by soldiers.

  The wife, with disheveled hair, was extremely flustered but was still comforting her crying daughter.

  Rock Shriver never entered the interrogation room, he just looked at Dawn through the fence: "He's here, why don't you say yes?"

  Dawn's bloodshot eyes widened, with veins surging on his forehead, struggling frantically, trying to break free from the chains that bound him.

   "Come on, kid." Locke Shriver knelt down and hugged the frightened and crying girl from the soldier's arms, "Persuade your father, otherwise your family will all die miserably."

   "Don't touch her!" Dawn pulled the chain desperately, trying to get closer to his daughter by even a centimeter, "If you dare to touch her, I will kill you!"

"Don't be afraid, look at your father." Rock Shriver stood up, pinching the girl's shoulders with both hands, so that he could only look at his father while crying, "You sure don't want your father to die? Then think There is a way to persuade him to say what he has to say.”

   "Let her go!" Dawn's wife bit off the soldier's hand and rushed towards Rock Shriver.

  Lock Shriver cast a contemptuous glance and knocked him down with an elbow.

   "Edith!" Dawn roared. The fence in front of him gave him a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Trash." Rock Shriver watched several soldiers regain control of Dawn's wife, and looked at Dawn expressionlessly, "My patience has been completely exhausted by you. I will give you one last chance, say , or I killed your wife and daughter in front of you."

   "Dad..." the girl called Dawn.

  Dawn's vision was blurred by tears.

  He naively thought that after he escaped from prison, he would have a better life.

   "Give me the knife." Rock Shriver asked his subordinate for a short knife, holding the girl tightly with one hand, and playing with the knife with the other, "What's the secret of Chris?"

  Dawn, who was in pain, suddenly calmed down.

  Rock Shriver accurately captured the changes in Dawn, and the confidence in his eyes was much fuller. In his opinion, Dawn has recognized the reality and is completely controlled by him.

   "Is Rose still alive?"

   "Huh?" Locke Shriver puzzled why Dawn mentioned Rose inexplicably, "What?"

  Dawn's eyes were dimmed, and his whole body was devastated in an instant: "Is he still alive?"

   "Alive." Rock Shriver replied.

  In the beginning, he planned to kill Rose in front of Dawn, but during the implementation, Dawn stepped forward to obstruct him, and Rose's death was put on hold for two hours.

   "Take me to him."

   "Why do you want to see him?"

   "I want to tell him everything in front of him." Dawn said coldly, "He caused me to get to where I am today. He could have said it earlier."

  Lock Shriver weighed briefly and agreed to Dawn's request.

  There may be secrets between Rose and Dawn that they don't know about each other. When Dawn says it, Rose's defense line will also collapse, and he may have unexpected gains.

   "Bring Ross here." Locke Shriver ordered.

   Several subordinates immediately went to another interrogation room to **** Ross over.

   "Let them avoid it for a while." Dawn looked at his daughter and his injured wife reluctantly, "You scared my daughter."

   "Sorry, I don't want to do this either." Locke Shriver apologized indifferently, and ordered the soldiers to take Dawn's wife and daughter away.

   Soon, Rose was escorted over, and was held in front of the fence by Rock Shriver's subordinates. He looked at Dawn with disbelief and disappointment: "You..."

   "Speak, Dawn." Rock Shriver raised his chin.

   "Huh..." Dawn let out a breath and calmed down again, "I'm a person... I never like to escape."

  Ross was grabbed by both arms, he could only hit the fence with his head, and said with difficulty in a crying voice: "Dawn! Don't say it!"

   "But today, I have to escape." Dawn's face was pale, with determination, "Ross, listen to me."

   "Don't make me look down on you!" Rose didn't want his efforts to be in vain.

   "If one day, you can live to see him..." Dawn gave up struggling, and looked at Rose calmly, "Remember to tell him to realize the life promised to me on others."

  Ross thought that Dawn was going to tell Veraker's secret, but he didn't expect him to say something he couldn't understand for a while.

  Lock Shriver reacted very quickly. He realized something and hurriedly urged his men: "Open the door! Open the door!"

   "Keep going, Rose." Dawn showed a bleak smile, and finally encouraged Rose.

   "Open the **** door!" Rock Shriver pushed his subordinate, who endured his confusion and hurriedly opened the door.

  Dawn pursed his lips, his face flushed.

   Before Locke Shriver and the others rushed in, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
