GBT Chapter 56
by VolareFirst, Qi Zi Zhi’s knife slashed several times, and then it was dirtied during the dragging process. Now…
The sweater in front of him bulged.
The cargo hold was very cold, and the dampness of the sea came in waves. Jiao Bai shivered noticeably.
Although his situation was passive, and the coldness was drilling into him from the bulging hem of his sweater, Jiao Bai wasn’t very flustered.
Because,
when the dog blood is boiled down to a thick consistency, the main character will inevitably emit a sense of existence.
Sure enough, just as Jiao Bai’s thick fleece trousers were loosened, a soft groan came from the cargo hold.
The person involved didn’t wake up immediately; it seemed like he was having a nightmare, pitifully.
Jiao Bai said in a daze, “Xiao Jue?” He muttered to himself, “Xiao Jue, are you awake?”
“Don’t wake him up,” Qi Zi Zhi warned grimly.
“I won’t wake him up,” Jiao Bai said softly, “I don’t want him to see me like this.”
He received no response.
Jiao Bai’s face was pressed against the cargo box, the tip of his nose was a little uncomfortable, and his breath was filled with the smell of cheap plastic: “You are his benefactor, a great philanthropist, I am his brother, if we are seen like this, what a blow it would be to his weak heart…”
“Don’t want to wake him up, don’t want him to see?” Qi Zi Zhi retorted sarcastically, “When I was dragging you out, weren’t you shouting loudly for him?”
Jiao Bai: “…” I can justify this logic, wait a minute.
After a few moments of silence, Jiao Bai breathed rapidly: “I just didn’t want to go outside, if he woke up and saw me as a broken doll… he’s still so young, he shouldn’t have to endure such pain.”
After saying that, Jiao Bai paused slightly.
Since he came here, he had only shown his “lotus” aura to Qi Yi Liao. As for “bitchy” remarks, he had said them two or three times, and it seemed they were all directed at Qi Zi Zhi.
This fate of being hit by that flavor is something else.
“He won’t see, when you’re broken, I’ll throw you into the sea.” Qi Zi Zhi hunched his back, his chin resting on the shoulder of the person in front of him, “The blood in your body is too turbid, it needs the dilution and washing of the sea, so that you can be a good child in the next life.”
Jiao Bai: “…”
Li Jue didn’t wake up, and Jiao Bai didn’t hear the rustling sound of clothes.
This Qi Total behind him is a straight man.
Qi Zi Zhi wasn’t like Shen Ji, who didn’t discriminate between men and women, could be either, could bend or be straight, and could change his tastes whenever he wanted. He could only be straight.
His appearance was incompatible with the beautiful and high-quality male characters in “Broken Wings.”
Qi Zi Zhi didn’t keep young lovers, and had almost no private life. He was either working or preparing to work every day. He had been involved in two relationships. One was during his school days, only mentioned in the teasing of friends in the comic, and the person involved didn’t admit it, so its truth was uncertain. The other was with Liang Dong’s older sister, a relationship for the sake of profit, a couple to show to the outside world. They also had very few scenes.
His character was defined as a workaholic who was born to work hard for his family, and to shelter his family from the wind and rain. Such a person without a self had no love to speak of.
“Broken Wings” was a BL comic, could the fans let such an excellent and tragic older brother character be idle? No, they went to the author’s Weibo to ask for romance scenes, to ask for Qi Total not to be killed by Xiao Shen, to give him a “shou” so that he could have a good rest of his life.
Finally, the author added one under pressure.
That was when the Qi family had an accident like it was now, and Qi Zi Zhi was seriously injured while on the run. He was rescued by a single young father and taken back to the other party’s rental house of less than 20 square meters.
Qi Zi Zhi didn’t have much time left at that time, and he spent the happiest and most relaxed time of his life there.
Whether the two had mutual affection, or the death of Qi Zi Zhi, or the chance encounter that he didn’t die, the author didn’t specify. Their scenes ended only on a rainy dusk, and the rest was left to the fans to imagine.
It could be considered that he had both agreed to the fans and didn’t destroy Qi Zi Zhi’s character.
Jiao Bai still felt that the author just wanted Qi Zi Zhi to be a mudslide in this BL comic.
But it didn’t affect him from washing out the scene of Qi Zi Zhi tying his tie and watching it three times a day.
His thoughts were scattered by a burst of piercing cold pain. Jiao Bai found that one of Qi Zi Zhi’s arms had passed through his sweater from the bottom up, his thumb and forefinger gripping his Adam’s apple, and strangling his bloodshot neck. He took a breath, his stomach was cold, and his stomach cramped, and he couldn’t help making a physiological retching sound.
The person behind him stiffened slightly.
Jiao Bai looked up and gasped for breath. The favored sons of heaven have more or less cleanliness habits.
So he vomited again.
He also deliberately twisted his body and neck, trying to make the movements as large as possible.
That arm was suddenly withdrawn.
The fine fleece sweater of high-quality material drooped back down, and the place where it had bulged gradually returned to its original shape.
Jiao Bai slid down along the posture of sticking to the cargo box. He supported the cargo box in time with his hands, so he didn’t kneel on the ground.
When reading comics, he coveted the person’s body.
He wanted the other party to furrow his sword-like brows, unsmiling, and seriously and solemnly handle official business with him, all night long.
All of these were only limited to his imagination.
Jiao Bai’s body swayed with the movement of the ship. He was the ideal car king who broke the speed limit and showed off all kinds of skills, but in reality, he only walked, and hadn’t even ridden a unicycle.
Damn it. He should grope his way back to where he was just now to find his down jacket, it was too cold. After this freeze, the old injury to his tailbone, which hadn’t recurred for a while, and the three ribs that had already healed, were faintly sore.
Qi Zi Zhi didn’t leave.
Realizing this, Jiao Bai immediately made a fearful expression, his breathing trembling.
This one hasn’t gone crazy to a certain extent yet, so he shouldn’t endure the discomfort and force himself, right? ? ? Besides, Li Jue is still here, even though he only groaned once, his sense of existence is strong. He could wake up at any time.
Qi Zi Zhi is probably just putting on a show, wanting to see him beg for mercy in a panic?
Jiao Bai tentatively lowered his head and clenched his tattered sweater, interspersed with a little light sob in his gasps, looking like a weak posture who was almost scared to death.
Limping footsteps sounded behind him, slowly moving away.
Jiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief, he guessed right. If his friend was interested in him, like Shen Ji, he had to worry about his melon patch being stolen. If his friend wasn’t interested in him, he still had to worry about his melon patch being stolen.
Because, if the latter hated him like Qi Zi Zhi, he wouldn’t do it himself, but he would very likely let the collapsed crew members outside besiege him.
Jiao Bai didn’t doubt that when Qi Zi Zhi dragged him out of the cargo hold at that time, it wasn’t just going through the motions, he was serious.
At this moment, Qi Zi Zhi was still within five meters of him, not offline.
Jiao Bai looked at the other party’s profile picture.
The seal was squatting on the ground, covering its face with its short black claws, its round body twitching.
Jiao Bai: “…”
You’re going to mess with me, and you still have the face to cry?
Jiao Bai buttoned his loosened trousers back, and tidied his sweater. Just as he was about to climb up, he heard an exclamation.
Our protagonist, this time, finally, woke up!
Li Jue’s animal-like cry of fright was gently gathered in the palm of a hand. The palm was sweaty, very wide, with distinct and large finger bones. He didn’t know who it was, and all the pores on his body exploded, “Mmm mmm” struggling non-stop.
“It’s me.”
A voice sounded above his head, carefully and lovingly.
Li Jue was stunned by the familiar voice. Qi Total? Yes, yes, it’s Qi Total, he remembered!
Then where’s Xiao Qiu gege? Where is he?
Li Jue’s breathing was rapid and shallow, with a crying sound, his cheeks were flushed because of emotional excitement, and the corners of his eyes were also red. Last month, he took on a tutoring job in a small community not far from Three Middle School. This morning, he went there to teach the student, and the hostess of that house asked him to stay for lunch. After the meal, he explained some questions to the child before leaving.
When leaving the community, Li Jue inadvertently saw Xiao Qiu gege getting into a car. Without thinking, he slammed on the pedals of his bicycle and chased after it in a burst of acceleration.
When the car stopped at the intersection outside the community, Li Jue’s mind went blank, and he directly blocked the car.
After that, the car door opened, a stranger came down, and dragged him into the car. Before he was knocked unconscious, he saw Qi Total sitting in the leather chair, and Xiao Qiu gege who was tied up and thrown on the ground.
“Mmm!” Li Jue waved his slender arms vigorously, and a muffled groan came from his ear. He was stunned.
“We are on a cargo ship, don’t shout, don’t attract the crew members.” Qi Zi Zhi’s eye sockets were aching from the blow, and that eye was frighteningly red, but his tone was low and gentle, full of guidance, “Nod if you agree, and I’ll take my hand away.”
Li Jue nodded lightly.
The palm on his face was immediately withdrawn, his breathing became smooth, and he quickly asked, “Qi Total, what’s going on?”
Qi Zi Zhi was silent. Neither their brotherly relationship, nor the business turmoil behind the collapse of the Qi family, were suitable to tell this child at this time.
If the ship could return to its original route, he would reveal everything on Xiao Ming Island.
If the ship…
Then he wouldn’t say it.
“You just need to know that you are already very far away from South City,” Qi Zi Zhi finally opened his mouth after a long time, his hoarse voice hiding helplessness.
Li Jue’s eyes were dull: “No…”
“No… no!” Li Jue touched Qi Zi Zhi’s clothes, his trembling fingers grabbed them, “I want to go home, my grandma is still waiting for me, Qi Total, please let me go, please…”
Qi Zi Zhi’s heart ached. He regretted it, he shouldn’t have followed God’s arrangement and brought his younger brother along. He was wrong.
His younger brother didn’t know how much suffering he had endured over the years, and was involved in this maritime accident because of his selfishness.
A fishy sweetness rose in Qi Zi Zhi’s mouth: “It’s not that I won’t let you go, it’s that I can’t make the decision. In the deep sea, the power of human beings is very small, and life and death depend on fate.”
Li Jue’s face was ashen: “Then why did you bring me here…”
“You bumped into me kidnapping Jiao Bai,” Qi Zi Zhi said.
Li Jue’s curled eyelashes blinked, and tears filled his eyes, but he didn’t wipe them away, he was a little dazed.
Qi Total’s words and deeds didn’t seem like he was threatening him. There was a sob in his voice when he spoke, very sad, as if he had thousands of words to confide in someone.
Li Jue’s anger and panic were instantly occupied by a wave of sympathy.
Qi Total was a person of integrity, without the usual airs and virtues of the upper class. He looked at them, these ordinary people, with respect, not with the condescending disdain of Director Shen.
Li Jue had seen snippets of information about the Qi family’s misfortune on the internet. He didn’t understand the warfare of the rich and powerful. He only knew that Qi Total must be very painful.
Qi Total shouldn’t have intentionally done the kidnapping, he must have had some unspeakable reason.
Li Jue’s voice was as thin as a thread: “Qi Total, I think no matter how big the hurdle you encounter, don’t give up… don’t do something you’ll regret for the rest of your life…” He stammered, realizing that he was still clutching the man’s clothes, and immediately withdrew his hand in embarrassment, “People won’t always be at the bottom, you’re so amazing, I I I… I believe in you…”
Qi Zi Zhi listened to the pale and simple comfort in his ear, and thought, what a kind child. Like Xiao Shuang, not scheming at all. Unlike that Jiao Bai, three out of five sentences were false, and the remaining two were half true and half false.
A sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from the front, and Li Jue was startled: “Xiao Qiu gege?!”
“Here.” Jiao Bai avoided a pile of cargo.
“Where are you? Why can’t I see you?” Li Jue slowly realized that it was pitch black in front of him, and he panicked, “My eyes hurt a little, am I going blind?”
Jiao Bai: ???
“Old brother, you’ve just been sleeping for too long.” Jiao Bai stretched his hand forward, groping along the way, “You can’t see because there are no lights in the cargo hold.”
Just as Jiao Bai finished speaking, a light appeared in the cargo hold. It wasn’t to illuminate him.
It was Qi Zi Zhi who lit it for Li Jue.
Jiao Bai squinted and used the light to look over. He saw Li Jue’s tear-stained face and trembling body.
His clothes weren’t dirty.
Li Jue clung to Jiao Bai, saying whatever came to his mind.
Jiao Bai’s chin was shrunk into the collar of his down jacket. The wound on his neck had clotted, and it didn’t hurt if he didn’t touch it. After vomiting until the world turned upside down, his body was about to be hollowed out.
Fortunately, the sea smell in the cargo hold was extremely heavy, suppressing the smell of the vomit he had just spewed out, otherwise it would really be…
Jiao Bai was groggy and nestled beside the cargo box, not wanting to respond to Li Jue. But when he vaguely heard Li Jue say something about not blaming Qi Total, his trigeminal nerve twitched.
This…
This is just so goddamn.
Jiao Bai chose to continue to shut his mouth, he was afraid that he would start spraying as soon as he opened his mouth.
Li Jue was the representative of the soft, beautiful, and stupid “wife shou” in the early “scum and abuse” dog-blood themes, who could make people vomit blood. This world is so beautiful, we should all get along well, get along peacefully, and may there be no heartbroken people in the world.
“Xiao Jue, come here!” Qi Zi Zhi’s shout came from the dark.
Li Jue clutched the phone that Qi Zi Zhi gave him, trembling his delicate shoulders and shrinking to Jiao Bai’s side, weakly refusing: “Qi Total, I’m here with Jiao Bai, I’m not going over.”
Jiao Bai saw that Qi Zi Zhi’s activity increased by two.
The profile picture also lit up.
Qi Zi Zhi was coming this way, but he seemed to have stopped again, not approaching.
Jiao Bai didn’t speculate on Qi Zi Zhi’s motives, but looked at the sobbing seal. Was he going to cry a river and drown himself? Or play in the river?
Qi Zi Zhi stood where he was, scratching his burned face forcefully through his mask. The wound hadn’t had time to be treated in a regular hospital, and had been dealt with casually until now. It was itchy and painful, reminding him of the humiliation he had suffered.
After scratching for a while, the hatred in Qi Zi Zhi’s heart was suppressed a little. He went to the closed school on his maternal grandfather’s side at the age of five to receive cultural and physical training, in order to be the successor of Qi’s family, to become the future pillar of the Qi family, and to pave the way for his two younger brothers.
He stayed in that place for many years. After growing up, he came back to live for a period of time and then went to study in another place. He learned everything, but in the end, he lost his family business.
Not yet thirty years old, and had just begun to make great achievements, but he was already on the run.
Qi Zi Zhi felt that half of his failure was due to not being decisive enough. If he had rejected Xiao Shuang’s marriage to Shen Ji harshly, or if he had made a big deal about the master’s matter earlier and let the Shen family take the initiative to choose someone else, things would not have gone this way.
To give a recent example, about half an hour ago, he had made a decision about whether to tell Xiao Jue about his background, but now he had changed his mind again.
“Come over, I have something to tell you,” Qi Zi Zhi coaxed his younger brother.
Li Jue was a little shaken.
Jiao Bai didn’t understand the current developments. Qi Zi Zhi’s feelings for Li Jue seemed like love but not love, he didn’t know what route he was taking.
Li Jue hesitated: “Xiao Qiu gege…”
Jiao Bai: “Call me by my name.”
Li Jue: “… Jiao Bai?”
“Spit it out.”
“How about,” Li Jue bit his beautifully shaped soft lips, “I go over for a while?”
Jiao Bai’s head knocked on his arm: “Go ahead, your legs are on your body, you can go wherever you want.”
There was a warm and humid breath in his ear, Jiao Bai raised his shoulder and rubbed his ear. Li Jue leaned against him and whispered, “I just think Qi Total is very pitiful, maybe he has something important to say, wait for me, I’ll be right back!”
As he spoke, he turned on the flashlight on his phone, found the direction Qi Zi Zhi was standing in, and staggered over.
Jiao Bai drooped his eyelids listlessly. Li Jue was just like standing in line, afraid that he would misunderstand.
He didn’t even know if Li Jue had considered that they and Qi Zi Zhi were hostages and a kidnapper.
Jiao Bai heard Li Jue’s exclamation, and raised his eyelids. Qi Zi Zhi hugged Li Jue, who was about to fall and bump into the cargo box.
Okay, he was the only hostage.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, but Jiao Bai finally fell asleep in the midst of nausea, only to be awakened by Li Jue’s even louder scream.
Li Jue fell again.
This time Qi Zi Zhi didn’t have time to hug him.
The cargo hold was cluttered and the visibility was unclear. Even someone with sound legs and feet would easily bump into things and have difficulty moving, let alone Qi Zi Zhi, who was a cripple.
But he was just guilty, blaming himself. He watched his younger brother run towards the fuse that would drag his family into hell, and the darkness in his heart swelled in an instant, engulfing him and chewing up the honest and cultivated parts of his character.
Jiao Bai felt Qi Zi Zhi’s poisonous gaze, as if the knife was going to cut him into pieces to feed the fish. He swallowed his saliva, and was about to meet it, when he was embraced by Li Jue, who rushed over.
“I have an older brother!” Li Jue sat on Jiao Bai’s lap, with both arms around his neck, his red eyes full of innocent happiness.
Jiao Bai was physically weak and unstable, and fell to the ground with a thud. He didn’t bother to push Li Jue away, his head was a little dizzy.
What the hell is going on?
Li Jue has an older brother? Qi Zi Zhi? Did they become sworn brothers?
“It’s not a sworn brother, it’s a biological brother.” Li Jue said in Jiao Bai’s ear, his legs swinging happily, “Qi Shuang and I are dizygotic twins, I’m from the Qi family.”
Jiao Bai: “…”
In the comics, wasn’t Li Jue just a beautiful country kid who came to South City to collect the body for his neighbor brother, and then met Shen Er An, and the plot unfolded from there?
He had no background, nor did he have a superpower spring space system, but he let the rich young masters shed blood for him as a small person.
So,
how did this come about with the background of a young master of a wealthy family who had been wandering outside?
Jiao Bai was too lazy to worry about it, he would just follow the butterfly effect. He casually glanced at Li Jue’s profile picture.
It was still the inner page of a marriage certificate, still with Shen Er An.
That’s how firm and persistent he was.
Jiao Bai pulled the arm off his neck: “Congratulations on finding your family.”
Li Jue belatedly realized that he was in Jiao Bai’s arms. His face flushed, and he left in a flustered manner.
“I didn’t expect… Grandma never told me that I was adopted…” Li Jue cried with joy, “I’m so happy, my idol is my big brother, how great is that!”
Jiao Bai thought to himself, it’s pretty good.
Qi Zi Zhi, that younger brother-obsessed, must have learned a lesson from Qi Shuang’s incident. He would pay attention to his limits when doting on his newly recognized younger brother, and wouldn’t indulge him endlessly.
Jiao Bai observed Li Jue, and it seemed that Qi Zi Zhi hadn’t told him the reason for the Qi family’s misfortune.
Otherwise, Li Jue wouldn’t be in this state, he would definitely be tangled up and crying into a ball.
“My big brother is looking at me, I’m going to him, he has injuries on his legs and face, he needs someone to take care of him, he can’t leave me.” Li Jue stood up, took a piece of chocolate from his pocket and stuffed it to Jiao Bai, “This is what my big brother gave me, you eat it. I have more.”
“Jiao Bai, I don’t know what the misunderstanding is between you and my big brother, but I will tell my big brother, and when the ship gets to the island, I’ll have him let you go.” Li Jue clenched his fingers.
Jiao Bai took the chocolate: “Then thank you in advance.”
“You go to sleep, I won’t let my big brother give you trouble.” Li Jue muttered and turned to leave, “I don’t know when we’ll be able to get to the island. When we get there, my big brother also said he’s going to bring grandma over. Fortunately, I’m familiar with the doctor, and if I’m not there, he’ll help me take care of grandma, and he can advance the medical expenses for me first. There are more good people in this world…”
Jiao Bai tore open the chocolate wrapper and took a lick. The hell with going to the island, he had a hunch that the ship would be floating at sea forever.
Dog blood would be sprinkled on the sea, floating far away with the wind.
Jiao Bai looked at the activity levels of his seven friends.
Apart from Qi Yi Liao, whose heart had already died, Zhang Zhen, Li Jue, and Yu Ling were all easy to deal with.
As for Cen Jing Mo, as long as he brushed Yu Ling’s activity level, Cen Jing Mo’s would also increase.
The same was true for Li Jue.
Jiao Bai focused his attention on Shen Er An, who was closest to the 50 mark.
If he hadn’t guessed wrong, the old lady taking the initiative to abandon him was because of a change in the master’s place.
There was a problem with his life plate.
Once the old lady found out that he couldn’t prosper the Shen family, she would never let him occupy the position of daughter-in-law, and would cut him off from Shen Ji and the Shen family as quickly as possible.
So he should be divorced.
Married more than a month ago, and divorced more than a month later.
Who wouldn’t say “Niubi (awesome)” after hearing that?
As for the old lady cooperating with Qi Zi Zhi and handing him over to the other party, she was most likely using him to exchange for her grandson.
Shen Er An was safe in the old house.
However, Shen Young Master probably suffered a great psychological trauma from this trip.
He hoped he wouldn’t do anything stupid.
South City
Shen Ji was still waiting in the corridor. His mother hadn’t come down from the operating table, and his son had gone in again.
The board of directors and the Shen family’s direct line didn’t dare to approach Shen Ji.
Chen Yiming looked at the various insurance policies he had bought in the corner of the corridor, calculating how much money his family would get if he died.
After looking for a while, Chen Yiming went to the bathroom to wash his face, walked into the center of the terrifying cold air, and reported with his head down: “Chairman, Director Qi has gone to sea.”
Shen Ji’s brain, which contained the entire lifeline of the Shen family, was wooden: “What is he doing at sea?”
“Qi Total…” Chen Yiming changed his words in time: “Qi Zi Zhi is at sea.”
Shen Ji subconsciously went to touch his suit pants, but didn’t find them. Only then did he remember that his phone had been smashed.
Chen Yiming took out his phone, found Director Qi’s number and dialed it, and then held the phone to his sugar daddy’s ear.
Beep—Beep—Beep—
The waiting tone seemed particularly long and extremely annoying.
At sea, Qi Yi Liao sat in the driver’s seat, with headphones on his ears. He closed his eyes slightly, and the light flowing from under his black eyelashes fell on the glass in front of him.
Behind the glass was an endless sea, and the waves were like black threadworms, tightly attached to each other and constantly rolling.
Zhang Zhen, who was next to him, looked at the phone that Third Brother had placed on the small table for the third time. It had been vibrating continuously.
Third Brother only glanced at it, and after confirming who it was, he made no other movements.
Just as Zhang Zhen was about to get a blanket for Third Brother, the phone in his pocket rang. When he looked at it, it was Chen Yiming calling. But after he answered, he instinctively sensed something was wrong: “Director Shen?”
Shen Ji’s tone was very bad: “Isn’t your master’s phone with him?”
Zhang Zhen glanced at Third Brother, and had a flash of inspiration: “My Third Brother is asleep. Director Shen, if you have anything to say, you can tell me, and I’ll tell Third Brother when he wakes up…”
Shen Ji didn’t wait for him to finish, and sternly questioned: “Where are you?”
Zhang Zhen glanced at Third Brother again, and when he saw that he didn’t move, he said: “We are heading to the southeast sea area of Jianghai.”
Shen Ji suddenly got up: “Have you found the person?”
Zhang Zhen’s ears were disturbed by the heavy breathing on the other end, and he took the phone away a little: “No, the ship is missing.”
“What do you mean missing?” Shen Ji’s temples throbbed.
“We searched and found that the ship where Jiao Bai was located was in the southeast direction. After eliminating the destinations, it was Xiao Ming Island.” Zhang Zhen’s tone was solemn, “But that ship suddenly disappeared.”
There was no way to find it now. They could only wait for the signal to recover near the “Tianxing” A and go to that direction to wander around, to see if they could also encounter the same electromagnetic phenomenon and send them to the sea area of Jiao Bai’s ship.
This probability was analyzed by a group of top nautical technicians, and was so low that it was difficult to calculate a number.
But Third Brother still let the ship continue to float.
“Send me the coordinates, I’ll send someone over, tell your master that I can take care of the rest…”
Director Shen roared with his hands on his hips, and his anger filled the corridor. At this critical moment, a doctor’s anxious voice interjected: “Director Shen, Young Master Shen refuses to have the operation. We can’t anesthetize him to remove the fragments from his brain, and he also…”
Shen Ji turned his head, and what caught his eye was his son wearing a hospital gown, walking towards him step by step while supporting the wall, followed by a group of medical staff who didn’t dare to dissuade him.
“Useless people, besides causing trouble, are useless.” Shen Ji told the doctors to leave. If he didn’t want to have the operation, then so be it. Any complications were his own fault.
Shen Er An used to respond with silence, but this time he unusually fought back: “Where are you better than me?”
Chen Yiming, who was standing far away, gasped.
The next second, he saw the phone that was held by the chairman fly out and hit the young master hard.
And the young master didn’t dodge, and the left side of his cheekbone was hit, and a large area of bruises oozed out on the spot.
Chen Yiming’s eyelids twitched. The young master seemed to be taking the opportunity to punish himself. But the reason why he took that blow was definitely not because he contradicted his father.
Shen Er An didn’t care about the injury to his cheekbone. When he passed by the angry person, he said: “Grandma, can she survive this time?”
Shen Ji didn’t speak, and the anger in his eyes turned into grief. The hope was slim.
Shen Er An lowered his eyes: “Chairman Shen, the news, has to be blocked, otherwise the news that you killed your mother will spread…”
“Pa”
Shen Er An’s head was turned by the blow.
Shen Ji used all his strength in that slap, and his hand was numb. After he finished, he sat on the chair and supported his forehead with his hands crossed. His whole person showed fatigue.
The corridor quickly became quiet, and only he was left alone.
His subordinates took his orders to find someone, his son provoked him and was driven away by him, and there was no one to talk to around him.
Shen Er An refused Chen Yiming’s support. He walked and stopped, and it took a while to walk out of the hospital.
The snow stopped and the sky was dim.
A thin man walked forward from under the street lamp: “Er An, Qi family’s sea-going equipment is top-notch, and if they can’t find anyone, then we’re even less likely to find them.”
Shen Er An covered half of his face: “Didn’t I ask you, to go to the sea, to find someone.”
While the thin man was supporting him, he wondered, what did he call them together for, to watch him take the college entrance examination?
Speaking of which, besides having more injuries on his body, what else was different about him after he lost contact with them for a while…
Shen Er An looked at the small and round moon for a while: “Send me, to the police station.”
In the police station, Liang Dong’s mood was very complicated when he saw his buddy.
To this day, he had no home, and he couldn’t finish high school. His only belief was to wait for the people introduced by Zhang Zhen to find out the truth.
“An ge.” Liang Dong called out the address with difficulty. The Shen family was the Shen family, and his brother was his brother, it was different. Thinking like this, all the emotions in Liang Dong’s heart disappeared, and only excitement remained.
“It’s good to see you again. For a while, I was afraid that I wouldn’t have the chance to say goodbye.” Liang Dong had a crew cut, a stubble, and his eyes were vicissitudes, but his outline was still immature. He was just an eighteen-year-old boy.
Shen Er An sat across the table and asked him how he was doing.
“It’s good.” Liang Dong grinned, “I’m down to earth, I know what I’m doing.”
“An ge, why is your head wrapped in gauze?” Liang Dong asked.
Shen Er An pulled the mask up slightly, and prevaricated casually. He asked about Liang Dong’s older sister.
Although Liang Dong saw his brother’s perfunctory, he still didn’t ask too much. He repeated what he had said to Jiao Bai. It was all in his head, and it popped up occasionally. He couldn’t forget it even in his dreams.
Shen Er An was silent for a long time, and his slender white fingers rubbed under the table: “Who do you suspect?”
Liang Dong spat out the answer that had been chewed over and over again: “East City Cen family.”
Shen Er An didn’t speak.
“That crown prince just inherited the family business, and he needs to use achievements to secure his position. It’s reasonable to attack South City,” Liang Dong said.
“Why, wouldn’t it be, Qi family?” Shen Er An asked.
“Director Qi wants to monopolize the commercial chain in South City, and he will definitely be against your family. It’s impossible. He and your old man have been friends for decades, and,” Liang Dong smiled bitterly, “The police officer who reopened this case was introduced to me by one of his people.”
Shen Er An fell into the second silence after this reunion. The light hit the top of his black hair, and the halo leaked on his young and handsome eyebrows, giving people a cold texture that could not be explained.
“An ge, don’t you like Director Qi?” Liang Dong asked subtly.
Shen Er An didn’t admit it, and he didn’t deny it either.
Liang Dong’s personality had changed a lot. He was no longer carefree and free, and his energy had been reduced by more than half. If it had been before, he would have gossiped a few words for sure, but now he changed the topic: “Where have you been these past few days?”
Shen Er An lowered his eyelashes covering his painful eyes and moved slightly: “Made a mistake, hurt someone.”
Liang Dong was surprised and pressed his hands on the table, leaning his upper body forward, and a question rushed out of his throat: “Who did you hurt?”
The thin and haggard Shen Er An lowered his head, and the bones of the back of his neck protruded. He slowly bent over and covered his red eyes with both hands.
He hurt the person he wanted to protect.
