    Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Confrontation.Please, don’t look at whether…

    The huge shock and fear in that moment far exceeded the surprise brought by seeing Gu Yunzhao. At that moment, Shen Li felt that his heart was about to jump out.

    Unable to face Gu Yunzhao’s panic and guilty conscience, before his consciousness came online, his body’s instincts had already reacted for him before his brain.

    He closed the door again.

    But Shen Li’s idea of ​​closing the business failed.

    A pair of big hands with veins and clear joints blocked the crack of the door, stopping him from closing the door.

    “Let go.” Gu Yunzhao said expressionlessly, “I’ll count to three and open the door.”

    Shen Li was used to his gentle and kind appearance, and Gu Yunzhao never had such a cold face even when he carried him to the room to be whipped.

    I felt guilty at first, but now I looked at each other and half of my body was paralyzed. I honestly let go of my hand and didn’t dare to confront him.

    “Gu Yunzhao…”

    Shen Li murmured twice, wanting to ask him if he was not on a business trip, and also wanting to ask him if he knew anything.But he raised his head cautiously, and after seeing Gu Yunzhao’s face, he didn’t dare to ask anything, for fear of angering him again.

    There was no obvious anger on Gu Yunzhao’s face, not even the frown he usually showed when he disliked him for not wearing shoes, but his face was expressionless and calm.But the calmer he became about the current situation, the less Shen Li dared to move.

    I didn’t lie to him about his birthday for more than two days before, but now I have come back from a business trip.

    Gu Yunzhao must have known everything.

    But he didn’t know exactly when and how Gu Yunzhao knew all this.

    Shen Li recalled carefully now that Gu Yunzhao’s background in the video call just now was clearly the stairwell where they lived now, and even the sticker on the white wall was a souvenir of his visit to the amusement park.It’s just that he was so preoccupied with his boyish feelings and poetry that he didn’t notice the strangeness in the background.

    The phone call just now was probably not the final warning to him, but he was so focused on his own entanglement and guilt that he didn’t understand the warning.

    Gu Yunzhao walked a few steps into the house and saw that no one was following him. He turned around and saw that Shen Li was standing in the entrance hall with his head lowered like a kid who made a mistake, not daring to move.

    “Come here.” Gu Yunzhao held the cigarette in one hand and raised the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes. “I have raised you for so long, you must say hello to me before you leave.”

    “Oh.” Shen Li then slowly moved over in small steps, and the original five steps he took was reduced to ten steps.

    But no matter how long the journey was delayed, it was time to finish. Shen Li lingered for two minutes, and Gu Yunzhao’s shiny leather shoes appeared in his sight with his head lowered.

    “I’m sorry.” Shen Li whispered.

    “Can’t hear you.”

    “I’m sorry.” Shen Li spoke a little louder.

    “Still can’t hear you.” The pair of leather shoes turned back and took a few more steps. “Come here and say it.” Gu Yunzhao stopped next to the sofa.

    “Oh.”

    “Sit down.”

    “Oh.”

    Shen Li carefully picked the sofa farthest away from Gu Yunzhao. He only dared to touch the sofa with his buttocks on the edge and did not dare to sit down, ready to jump up and run away at any time.

    “What are you doing so far away from me?”

    Gu Yunzhao’s tone was unclear, which made Shen Li even more frightened.

    The cigarette in his hand had burned to the end, but he didn’t see any intention of putting it in his mouth again, so he snuffed it out in the ashtray on the coffee table.

    “Tell me.” Gu Yunzhao put out the cigarette and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation. “I wasn’t very eloquent on the phone just now. Why am I mute now?”

    When Shen Li heard this, he opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw the person’s face, he shut up again.

    Even more scary, Gu Yunzhao…

    There was still a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were so fierce that they almost ate him up. His left eye was filled with anger and his right eye was filled with soaring to the sky.

    “Stop laughing…” Shen Li mustered up the courage to whisper, “It’s a bit scary.”

    “Scary?” Gu Yunzhao raised his brows, suppressed his smile, and put on the same cold and calm face as when he first opened the door, “I thought you wouldn’t be scared.”

    His tone of voice was calm, but his words were full of yin and yang, “Master Shen, how can you be afraid of anyone? He doesn’t just do whatever he says, he does whatever comes to his mind.”

    “I’m sorry.” Shen Li apologized again, “I know I was wrong and I shouldn’t have lied to you.”

    “How did you lie to me?” Gu Yunzhao pretended to ask him back, then looked like he suddenly realized, “Oh, Master Shen meant that you made me think that we have been in love for so long, and that you were giving gifts to us sincerely. But in the end, you lied to me by not showing any affection at all, and just getting ready to leave with your bag, right?”

    “Don’t talk like that.” Shen Li couldn’t stand his sinister tone, “I even said I’m sorry.”

    Gu Yunzhao was so angry at him that he couldn’t help laughing out loud, “You said you were sorry, you cheated on my feelings, but after saying you’re sorry, do I have to calm down?”

    Shen Li was speechless.

    Mainly because besides the words “sorry”, he really didn’t know what else to say to Gu Yunzhao.

    In fact, he wanted to tell Gu Yunzhao that he didn’t lie to him about his feelings.He just hasn’t fallen in love with Gu Yunzhao yet, but his love is not fake.

    He just needs some time.

    But the look in Gu Yunzhao’s eyes clearly showed that he was suppressing overwhelming anger and was on the verge of exploding at any time. He couldn’t tell which of his words would ignite his anger.Apart from being sorry, Shen Li didn’t dare to say anything more.

    Gu Yunzhao saw him lowering his head, and occasionally raising his eyelids to peek at himself secretly.After taking two deep breaths, he suppressed the anger that was about to burst out, and tried to talk to Shen Li as calmly as possible.

    “What benefits has the Shen family given you? It’s more than what I can give you, right?”

    When Shen Li heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately raised his head and shook his head wildly.

    When had the Shen family ever given him any benefits, let alone compared to Gu Yunzhao?

    Mr. Shen and Ms. Xu can only draw big cakes for him, but every benefit Gu Yunzhao gives him is truly implemented.

    Whether it’s treating him to a meal, buying him a gift, delivering it to a flat in the city center under his name, setting up a project for him for his game…

    “Woof woof”

    In the solemn atmosphere, there was no sense of the undercurrent between the owners. Dahuang poked his head out of the room.Seeing the person who took it from the village back to its most beloved owner, it wagged its tail happily.

    First he greeted people with his head, and then he ran to Shen Li and stuffed his mouthpiece into Shen Li’s hand.

    [Play with me, play with me]

    Rhubarb wags its tail desperately to greet Shen Li. Usually, every time the owner is in a daze with a cold face, he will quickly come to his senses as long as he puts the mouth tube into his hand.

    But today, Shen Li not only didn’t play with it, but also withdrew his hand and continued to huddle up.He just raised his head to see that Gu Yunzhao still didn’t move, so he silently opened his legs and sandwiched the rhubarb between his legs.

    “Ouch?”

    Dahuang tilted his head, not understanding what his master was doing.

    “Shhhhhhh.”

    When Shen Li heard the howl, he was so frightened that he quickly covered the dog’s mouth.The other side looked up to observe Gu Yunzhao’s expression to see if he had noticed his side.

    As soon as he raised his eyelids, he met a pair of peach blossom eyes.

    And those peach blossom eyes touched his gaze and bent slightly toward him.

    Shen Li was so frightened that he immediately sat upright and did not dare to make any small moves.

    “What are you afraid of?” Gu Yunzhao whispered softly, “Continue.”

    “Continue with what?”

    “Tell me what benefits the Shen family has given you.”

    Shen Li swallowed, “It didn’t do me any good.”

    “Oh?” Gu Yunzhao raised his eyebrows, “I won’t give you any benefits so that you can find ways to run away from me.”

    “Then I really, really scared you, didn’t I?”

    “No, no.” Shen Li quickly shook his head again, fearing that Gu Yunzhao would misunderstand, “You are not scary, I just… I just have something to deal with with the Shen family.”

    “What’s the matter?”

    “Well, it’s just…”

    He definitely couldn’t tell what happened six years ago. He originally planned to run away so as not to expose it to Gu Yunzhao. Now he must not reveal the secret from his own mouth.Shen Li rolled his eyes and was ready to make up any excuse to fool Gu Yunzhao.

    But Gu Yunzhao knew him a little too well. Shen Li’s expression changed, and he immediately saw Shen Li’s thoughts.

    His face turned cold, and he raised his voice and warned, “If you still dare to lie to me now, try again!”

    Shen Li was so shocked that he shrank his neck, and he swallowed the excuse he just made up.

    How can this be done?

    Shen Li was extremely worried and did not dare to tell the truth.But if he tried to deceive Gu Yunzhao again now, he would not have the guts either.

    He could only shrink his neck and say nothing, holding Dahuang’s head between his legs to pretend that he suddenly lost his ability to speak.

    “You are stubbornly resisting, right?” Gu Yunzhao sneered.

    However, Shen Li remained silent and continued to pretend to be dead.

    Anyway, as long as he doesn’t speak, Gu Yunzhao can’t pry his mouth open.

    “Heh.”

    Of course Gu Yunzhao couldn’t pry his mouth open, but if he had money, he could pry open other people’s mouths.

    “Look?”

    Why is it a document bag again?Shen Li lowered his head and saw a document bag being pushed in front of him along the coffee table, which made him tremble.

    He had a bad feeling.

    He even forgot about his rule of not speaking just now. He opened his mouth tremblingly and asked, “What is this?”

    “You’ll know if you open it yourself.”

    Gu Yunzhao took out the cigarette case from his pocket, put a cigarette in his mouth, and lit the lighter repeatedly, but never lit the cigarette.Hearing his question, he raised his chin with a half-smile and motioned Shen Li to see for himself.

    Shen Li didn’t dare to look, even his hands that were originally resting on his legs were retracted behind his back, and his face looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

    It was as if what was on the coffee table was not a document bag, but a Pandora’s box containing a hundred demons that would destroy the world, or a Pandora’s box that connected signals to the Trisolarans.As long as he opens it, the world will be destroyed immediately, and he will become a sinner of human civilization from then on, and he will be engraved with a pillar of shame that cannot be removed even if the wind and rain blow him.

    “Open.” Gu Yunzhao didn’t give him a chance to escape, and told him in a cold voice that he must open it and take a look.

    “I don’t look.”

    Shen Li already had a vague hunch in his heart that this would be the last thing he wanted to face.At the moment, he is still pretending to be an ostrich, as if as long as he doesn’t open it, the Schrödinger document has not been read by anyone.

    Especially since Gu Yunzhao has not seen it.

    “I’m scared now.” Gu Yunzhao sneered, “Don’t let me show it to you.”

    “No!” Shen Li hurriedly stopped him, and a huge panic overwhelmed him.After hesitating for a long time, he still wanted to finally find some respect for himself, “Brother, don’t worry about it.”

    Although he knew that this document could be placed in front of him.Eighty-nine times out of ten, Gu Yunzhao had already seen it, but he still wanted to give himself a chance to escape.

    Gu Yunzhao only asked him in a cold voice, “I saw it six years ago. Why don’t I dare to face it now?”

    He really knew it…

    Shen Li’s hands and feet were cold and he sat there blankly.
