Ke Yi coldly glanced at the waiters in the lobby, the floor curtain on the innermost side of the lobby, and finally fixed his eyes on the two people on the seats.

If it was purely groundless suspicion before, then at this moment, the evidence is conclusive. He Qingwen and Xiao Muyuan both stared sideways, and Doug Lang also glanced at the two of them, his brows slightly raised, nothing wrong with that. Many expressions.

However, just this faint glance is still like an invisible sharp sword of crusade, completely delaying He Qingwen. That kind of expression, no tolerance, no connivance, it is a kind of silent reprimand, which has nothing to do with who is the source of the matter. Who is right and who is wrong will only make people feel inexplicably guilty and compromise for no reason.

Doug Lang, knowing that it was a conspiracy and a trap, came here without hesitation, because he would not let his belongings get out of his control.

At the same time, the grandfather clock chimed at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and played it clearly and rhythmically one after another. The sound was like a magic sound that went straight to hell, arousing shock and fear in the silent lobby.

The hoarse voice from behind the curtain reappeared, calling out with some surprise, "Wo * third generation, you are finally here!"

Doug Lang looked away, looked indifferently at the hanging curtain, and smiled coldly, "Your Excellency is going to hold a birthday dinner for my adopted son, how can I not come?"

After speaking, he walked towards the banquet, bypassed the seat that the waiter had prepared for him, and sat firmly beside He Qingwen.

It is really destined, there is no way to escape, this person's sight and palm.

He Qingwen suddenly withdrew his gaze, turned his head to the other side, and sighed softly. What hit his heart was the lingering shock and sorrow.

The door behind him was promptly closed by the guard outside, and the crisp sound of the door lock echoed loudly in the lobby.

Everyone has arrived and they are all in the urn, "he" is behind the scenes, smiling triumphantly.

The person behind the curtain gave a gloomy smile, "Since the guests are all here, let's start the banquet!" The waiter lightly shook the bell in his hand, and the banquet began. In the corner, the band played, and the voice behind the curtain shouted, "Come on, let's all drink to Mr. Diven's birthday!"

Eye movements at the banquet, Xiao Muyuan and He Qingwen looked at each other, but they did not pick up the wine glass at hand, but Doug Lang raised his glass without hesitation, and drank the champagne in the glass.

Xiao Muyuan paused for a moment, then calmly drank the glass of wine.Seeing that He Qingwen didn't move, the man asked with a light smile, "What's the matter? Mr. Diven doesn't drink, because he is afraid that my wine might be poisoned?"

He Qingwen's anger was suppressed on the verge of going berserk at this moment. He tightened his fingers and clenched the wine glass in his hand, gritted his teeth, and said angrily, "Who the hell are you? Show your true face if you have the guts, don't hide like this .”

"Hehe, Mr. Diven is angry, but I'm sorry, I don't want to reveal the mystery so soon, so it won't be too boring." Facing He Qingwen's anger, the people behind the curtain didn't care, and continued to use Calm tone and tone of voice laughing.

"Stop acting, I'm not in the mood to play with you any longer."

"Why is Mr. Diven so persistent, and your so-called true face may not be true." The man sighed leisurely, "Actually, everyone is like this. Just because they laugh in front of people doesn't mean they are really happy, and if they cry in front of people, it doesn't mean they are really happy." It doesn't have to be true sentimentality, kindness, maybe just want to win a good name, cruelty, maybe it's just a helpless means of killing. Giving, in order to want more returns, greed, because you have lost too much, Only constant deprivation can wash away the emptiness in your heart. And the kindness you see may be just a disguise, which can kill people without blood on their hands. People who deal with extreme things seem crazy, but in fact, they are the best at strategizing. , there are too many aspects, according to different occasions, facing different people, playing various roles, after a long time, I am afraid that even I don’t know what my self is like, alas! Forget, forget Already!"

He let out a deep sigh, as if he was talking to himself, and there was a slight pause between the words, and he seemed to be meditating silently.

Whether he is expounding the truth in the world or summarizing his own life, his tone is always helpless and light and indifferent, as harmless as fallen leaves, almost making people forget what he has done before, enough to People can't wait to crush him to ashes.

But how could He Qingwen forget the dignity and humiliation he had lost in front of He Zhong, how could he forget Rong Yuan's last crying cry in the wind, how could he forget the smoke and flesh and blood flying all over the sky.

He downplayed it, like human life is worthless, but he was still pretending here, and He Qingwen's hatred was burning in his chest.

"But Yuanyuan is innocent—" He Qingwen yelled angrily, "For the sake of power and your own selfish desires, you attacked Doug Lang and me. I can understand all these, but how could you be so mad that you persecuted me? An innocent life, and in that cruel way? What is your heart made of, how can you be so cruel?"

"I'm sorry about that, Mister Diven, but I don't think it's wrong because I said it was just a means, and you think I'm cruel because that lady means a lot to you, But to me, it doesn't matter at all, does it?"

"You're just—a devil! A devil!"

"The devil? Huh! In comparison, I'm far worse than someone, am I right, Mr. Diven?"

Looking at the wine in the glass, it looked more and more like the gut-piercing cockroach. He picked up the wine glass with gritted teeth and wanted to throw his hand over it. Unexpectedly, just as he raised his hand, his side moved slightly, and a palm suddenly covered it. Come over, hold the cup, He Qingwen turned around in surprise, the man changed his hand and scooped it up, and the person holding the cup changed his appearance.

Dougron raised his glass and paced around the long stage, with his lips raised, but there was no smile in his eyes. His eyes were sharp, as if he could see through the curtains hanging down to the floor, so that the people hiding behind could see nothing. Hide away.

"That is to say, do you want to continue?"

"It's the way of life, the Wo* family's way of life, isn't it?" he asked rhetorically.

Doug Lang nodded with a sense of comprehension, "Indeed!"

This is the education method of the Wo* family. This method, like sex, poisons people's nature, penetrates into people's hearts, and makes innocent children grow up overnight.The strong are kings, the weak are servants, the weak prey on the strong, and the war is endless.

Fundamentally speaking, there is no right or wrong, just different positions.

"How can you stop?"

"What do you think?" The man smiled lowly, his tone as soothing as if the boulder on his chest was about to be moved away.

Doug Lang also laughed, but it was a bit mocking.

"I think it's time to fulfill you!"

Doug Lang raised his glass, snorted and sneered, and poured the glass of wine into his mouth with a determined expression.

The wine glass fell to the table with a bang, shaking people's hearts. He called the waiter back and filled it up again. Doug Lang continued to pace the room holding the glass.

The people behind the tent were silent for a long time before they said, "Are you—are you really not afraid that I will poison the wine?" Seeing Doug Lang drinking so happily, he couldn't help asking.

Doug Lang took his time this time, sipping the wine in his glass carefully.

"you will not!"

"Why do you think I won't?"

"If you really want to kill me, bullets are enough. You don't have to be so troublesome." Douglang remained silent, staring ahead coldly. The wine glass in his hand creaked, and after a moment of silence, he asked , "Did I say that? Uncle Xiu'an?"

He Qingwen was startled when he heard that, "What did you say?"

Turning around quickly, I saw that the heavy curtain hanging from the floor was slowly opened, and the person sitting on the master's seat was withdrawing little by little with the curtain, revealing his original face.

He was stroking the stuffed white parrot standing on the bird stand next to the seat with one hand, and holding a miniature voice changer to his mouth in the other hand, smiling slightly.

Xiu'an waved his hand, put the voice changer aside, and laughed, and his voice was back to his usual low-temperature voice, his expression was still the same softness for thousands of years, and his eyes were full of light.

"Sure enough, nothing can escape your eyes, Dougron, tell me, when did you find out?"

"No matter how secretive your actions are, there are still traces to be found in terms of methods and thinking. You and I have been together for so many years, and I am very clear about your habits and preferences. What's more, there are some so-called secrets that only you know and I know, but In the end, it turned out to be He Wen and his son who made the move."

Xiu'an spread his hands, his expression a little bitter, "It's really a trick, a hundred secrets! It's me who caused the unlucky father and son to suffer a lot from Muncie. Doug Lang, you The net, big fish and small fish all eat it!"

"The most important thing is you, a big fish, Uncle Xiu'an. When you surfaced, it really made my heart ache."

The two looked at each other, sighing the passage of time, the person in front of each other has long been unable to overlap with the childhood figure, but no matter what, there is always a little expectation, thinking about finding something.

Xiu'an's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the white beside Douglang, which was really dazzling. Once upon a time, he and Douglang talked in the same room for several days and nights, but today, this person not only wins It took all of Dougron's attention, and even more of his love.

"Diven, you look surprised?"

At this time, He Qingwen looked at the person sitting firmly on the master's seat in front of him, with a dazed expression, and he was a little dazed. He couldn't believe it. No matter how much he thought about it, he never expected that the black hand behind the scenes would be Xiu An, Wo *In the family, the most gentle and elegant, with outstanding demeanor, always smiling no matter when and where, with the demeanor of a British royal aristocrat——Xiu'an.

He had doubted many people, even Jonathan, but this person had never been on his list.

A heavy blow is like a thunderbolt from the sky.

"Xiu'an? How—how could it be you?"

"Hehe, why can't it be me?"

"Why?" He shook his head, still in disbelief. "Why do you do this? Why do you have to kill me?"

"Why, why, this question is really ridiculous, Diven!" Xiu'an smiled deeply, his eyes stopped on He Qingwen, he breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled helplessly, "Because, I have always coveted the head of the Wo* family. Power and the throne, and then want to replace them, and use all means to achieve the goal. Because you, the person Dougron cares about the most, are his weakness. Only when you die can you give him a fatal blow and make him slump. Only I can have this opportunity. Because I am not willing to be a sideline, I have lost the right to inherit from the very beginning. Therefore, I will change this fate at all costs and make the Douglang line an eternal history. .This——is the answer you think, isn't it? Then what are you waiting for? Next, you should use this so-called most reasonable, most helpless, and most unacceptable reason to clean up and eradicate the scum of my family. In order to prevent future troubles." At the end, his tone changed from slow to extremely urgent, as if he had been waiting for a long time for the start of this battle.

Doug Lang frowned slightly, "Uncle Xiu'an felt that I had been silent for too long, so he couldn't wait to touch my bottom line, right?"

"But I'm also disappointed because of this, Doug Lang." His eyes swept to He Qingwen again, revealing a cold killing intent, "You care too much about him, Doug Lang."

"If you hadn't instigated He Zhong to do those things, maybe we wouldn't have reached this point."

"But I don't regret it!" Xiu'an stared at He Qingwen, a trace of pleasure after revenge flashed in his eyes, he sneered and said, "If it wasn't like that, I wouldn't have missed a good show—"

☆, solve the game

?Xiu An laughed loudly, and turned his eyes to Xiao Muyuan, "Mr. Xiao, you have contributed a lot to this matter, and you have contributed a lot!"

Xiao Muyuan was silent at first, but at this moment, he raised his head and greeted him back with sharp eyes, "Your Excellency's chess game is so meticulously laid out, but Xiao never thought that the battle between you and the family would be so complicated. I'll count it all."

"Of course, Mr. Xiao is an indispensable figure in the game. I thought I could take advantage of the hatred between you and use your hand to get rid of Diven, but I never expected that you would be able to transform into Diven." Enemies became friends, and it became -- such a close relationship, it really surprised me."

"That is to say, if borrowing a knife to kill people fails, you have borrowed other methods, such as-to sow dissension?"

Xiu'an looked playfully, "I'm just betting on the level of trust between the two of you. Fortunately, my betting luck has always been good. The level of trust between them is more fragile than I imagined. I just need to move Just move the corner of your mouth, and you can do it."

"So—there was the fire in the No. [-] warehouse of Hongtian Group?"

Xiu An applauded softly, "That's right!"

"What did you say?" He Qingwen was stunned, quickly swept past Doug Lang, and moved back again, "It's you?"

"Yes, it's me!"

He Qingwen suddenly remembered that morning, "It was you, that morning, you realized that I hadn't seen the news, so you pretended to inadvertently revealed the news of the fire in Hongtian to me, making me deliberately suspicious Dougron did this?"

"Hahaha! It's so easy, I don't even have any sense of accomplishment.

The truth is stripped away, and someone suddenly realizes it.

Looking at the fiery red body in front of him, He Qingwen's heart could no longer be calm.

"Dougron—" He shook his head and called his name softly behind him, but got no response.

Doug Lang clenched the palms hanging by his side tightly, released them, clenched them again, and then let them go again, without a sound or a sigh, the slight movement was the only expression deep in his heart.

Why?Why didn't you explain, why did you keep it from me?Doug Lang—

He Qingwen suddenly felt that what Xiu'an said was right. The situation itself was not a crime, but the fault. What they lacked was trust in each other, unconditional trust, and this was the fatal wound.

Xiu An watched coldly, with an evil smile on his lips. He is a person who strives for perfection, good at planning, and careful in doing things. Every time he carefully plans is like performing a play, so his play is bound to be Be extraordinarily exciting.

"Diven, there is a question that I have always been curious about. I have never been able to figure it out. What is the charm of our Mr. Xiao? Not only can it make you give up revenge, but also ignore the three generations of our Wo* family, and turn to Let you fall into his embrace?"

"You're talking nonsense, when will I—"

"Really? Then dare to ask you two, if I hadn't stopped your way, where are you planning to go?"

"I—" He Qingwen was at a loss for words for a moment.

He secretly glanced at the person who hadn't talked to him since he entered the hall, even though he knew that Xiu'an was trying to provoke him, he couldn't refute it.

Because this time he really ran away, behind Doug Lang's back and went with Xiao Muyuan, even though Doug Lang had repeatedly slandered the innocence between him and Xiao Muyuan before, he could still be honest in his heart, but now, This matter is simply a fait accompli, and there is no room for excuse.

Xiu'an over there didn't even leave room for people to think, and then said, "For this, I should also thank Mr. Xiao in front of us. If it wasn't for him, I don't know how long it will be Only when you come out of Douglang's protective net, thank you, Mr. Xiao!" After speaking, he stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Muyuan.

Xiao Muyuan froze, and saw He Qingwen's eyes rest on Doug Lang's body for a moment, his face turned pale, and his hands clenched into fists.

"This matter is indeed Xiao's recklessness. He took Qingwen out to celebrate his birthday without permission, and ended up in such a situation. It is Xiao's carelessness."

He Qingwen suddenly looked back at Xiao Muyuan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, which was fleeting.

"Hahaha!" Xiu'an's smirk echoed in the lobby, he looked at Xiao Muyuan, then at Doug Lang, his eyes flicked back and forth between the two, "Why, Mr. Xiao is preparing to fight against Doug Lang, first Fighting against the outside world, and reconciling the inside? Not bad, smart, smart, hahaha!"

He laughed for a while, but he didn't see any mood swings in Douglang, as if he was the only one in the whole hall acting, and his smile gradually became a little bitter, but since he lit the fire, he was confident that he could make the fire burn Gengwang shifted his gaze to He Qingwen and started talking.

"Diven, I really admire you. You are very capable, and you can make Dougron value you so much. At first I thought that Dougran was just a novelty to you, because there were such things in the past, woman, bed Partners, one-night stands, Doug Lang has never been short of, as long as he can satisfy him, he is never stingy, but I also know that he is not a person addicted to lust, until you appear, that Doug Lang disappears, To the Wo* family, this is nothing short of heaven and night, and to him, you are even more of a disaster." While talking, Xiu An suddenly remembered that Doug Lang withstood the attacks of everyone in the family with his own strength. In the scene where he resolutely brought He Qingwen into the family, even Jonathan's old fox's face became extremely ugly, not to mention other people. The most disreputable head of the Wo* family in generations, alas!How long did it take, how much effort and concession did Doug Lang make to make this man as decent as he is today.

Xiu'an concluded that from now on, there will never be anyone who can make Doug Lang pay so much, never again.

He snorted and chuckled, "Diven, Dougron put on a stupid hat for you, unexpectedly, you gave him another hat, how can he bear it!"

"Xiu'an, what exactly are you going to say, stop playing charades." He Qingwen's thoughts were a little confused at the moment, he couldn't figure out Xiu'an's intentions at all, Doug Lang was right, if he wanted them to die, he would never What the hell is he trying to do with so much talk?

Xiu An walked to the seat and began to pet the white parrot beside him.

He Qingwen followed his movements, and suddenly noticed something. It was different from ordinary stuffed animals. It didn't look like it was slaughtered and then put on the desired posture. The posture of this parrot was to spread its wings high. , raised his head high, as if it was in the midst of extreme excitement, and then died suddenly, so as not to appear too deliberate and stiff. Then, he looked around again, and all the specimens in the room were in the same shape. All unfolded to the extreme, no wonder, when he glanced at it, he always had a creepy feeling.

Xiu An slanted his eyes, staring at He Qingwen's every move. Apparently, his actions made He Qingwen notice the difference in these specimens, which led to the next topic.

"Diven, do you know how they died?"

He Qingwen fixed his eyes and stared at them, a chill rushed down his spine.

Xiu An lightly sneered, cold and evil.

He snapped his fingers, and a waiter came out from the back of the hall, holding a tray with an exquisite box in his hand.

"Diven, do you know what's in here?"

Seeing He Qingwen's puzzled face, he smiled even more intensely, and motioned for the waiter to open the lid, and there was a transparent glass tube lying horizontally inside, and the transparent liquid swayed slightly inside.

"This is--"

Someone's long-sleeping memory was suddenly awakened by the scene. He Qingwen stared at the glass tube filled with transparent liquid, his shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Diven, I think, you should know this thing."

"This is the-"

"That's right, it's—Blackdatura."

He Qingwen stretched out his hand abruptly, grabbed the box on the table, and threw it viciously to the ground. Under the violent impact, the transparent liquid sprayed into scattered sprays.

"Xiu'an, you bastard, what the hell do you mean—" He panted heavily, looking at the small water stains on the ground with bloody eyes, the fear born from the bottom of his heart swept over his whole body, he would never He also couldn't forget the pain that the liquid injected into his body, and the grief and indignation that Rong Yuan's death brought to him that he couldn't suppress for a long time.

He wished he could jump on it immediately and cut Xiu'an into pieces.

Xiu An didn't take it seriously, "Why is Diven so angry, you used to, didn't you enjoy it? Hmph!" He snorted with a contemptuous expression. "Oh! By the way, I almost forgot. Mr. Xiao seems to be a participant in it. I wonder if you want to enjoy it again after experiencing the pleasure and pleasure brought to you by this thing, or—let someone else enjoy it ?”

"What did you say?" He Qingwen was taken aback. In his memory, he was the only one who had been injected with this thing. When did Xiao Muyuan get the trick? "Xiao Muyuan?"

"It seems that you can't remember, but have you really forgotten that day——have you had a good time with Mr. Xiao?"

The speed of speech was slow, neither fast nor slow, as if seeing it with my own eyes.

He Qingwen was surprised, "You are talking nonsense, when did we do such a thing?"

"You don't believe it? Then you can ask this Mr. Xiao yourself, and then, the two of you will think about it together. On that windy and stormy afternoon, did you ever burn yourself with lust and entangle yourself with our Mr. Xiao?" , wishing to be immortal/wanting to die, greedy for a while—”

"No, you are talking nonsense, no, nothing like this has ever happened." He Qingwen yelled, looking at Xiao Muyuan with doubts in his eyes.

However, Xiao Muyuan's expression froze, his brows were furrowed, his body didn't move, and he pressed his fingers on the table vigorously in order to calm down.

"Your Excellency, don't make something out of nothing."

"Hehe! It doesn't matter if Mr. Xiao doesn't want to admit it. Only God knows this kind of thing, but no one knows its efficacy better than me. Oh, by the way, I'm afraid Doug Lang should know about it too. Come on!"

The ferocious laughter echoed again and again, like a devil provocatively in hell.

He Qingwen raised his head suddenly, and saw Doug Lang's serious expression, the wine glass in his hand, the veins on the back of his hand were already bulging, he didn't argue, didn't scold the other party angrily, just kept silent, obviously, Xiu'an wasn't lying.

"No, no, no, no—"

He Qingwen covered his head and tried desperately to recall, but he couldn't remember.

He only knew that there was a small gap in his memory, could it be——

He tried hard to recall, from the medicine injection, the teasing by everyone, to Rong Yuan's last scream, and then, Xiao Muyuan came to save people, and they went back to the house by the sea——

Because of the effect of the medicine, sometimes he was as cold as freezing water, sometimes as if he was in a fire bath, and his whole body was slowly devouring him like ten thousand ants. Then, a person appeared in front of him, with a low voice The gentle voice, the warm hug, has been comforting him gently with the softest tone.

Who was that person beside him at that time?Who was it that hugged him at the end and released his flood of desire?

Painful memories came in waves, like a film playing in front of my eyes.

Staggering back half a step, He Qingwen slumped down on his seat in a daze.

No wonder, Doug Lang was so sure that there was an ulterior affair between him and Xiao Muyuan.

Turns out, all of this is true.

☆, the past

"Oh! By the way, what did we just talk about." Xiu'an tapped his forehead lightly with his fingers, "If it wasn't for the Blackdatura that He Zhong injected you with, I really wouldn't have been able to design such an amazing plan." Even now, I am still very curious about how Mr. Xiao could satisfy your bottomless desires and pursuits at that time with his own strength?"

"Xiu'an, you bastard—" He Qingwen felt that he was going crazy, he passed Doug Lang who was standing in front of him, grabbed the knife and fork on the table and threw it towards Xiu'an, but His foot was kicked back by the bodyguard next to Xiu An, directly smashing the vase in the middle of the table.

"Diven, it's not good for you to be like this, nephew Douglange, is this how you educate your adopted son, no matter who you are, whether you are old or young?"

Doug Lang was finally moved, he put the wine glass on the table fiercely, "Enough, Uncle Xiu'an."

"You still protect him until now!"

"Uncle Xiu'an, don't force me!"

"Douglan, you've disappointed me so much. You've fallen to such a low level just for such a thing left over by others! Xiao Muyuan is standing in front of you, and you can still bear it!"

"But the culprit is you!"

"That's right, it was me. If it wasn't for that idiot He Zhong who only gave him an injection, he would have died of heart failure just like these specimens, and died on Xiao Muyuan's bed."

"So He Zhong was thrown out on purpose by you, the purpose is to let me know this through his mouth."

"That's right! I just want to let you know, I want to let you know what kind of scum he is!"

wow-

The goblet was swept off by Dougron's palm and smashed to pieces.

Xiao Muyuan got up in a hurry and stopped He Qingwen who was rushing towards Xiu'an.

Xiu An's eyes were wide open, staring straight at Doug Lang, as if he could see the anger burning in his eyes.

Glock pointed directly at Xiu'an's eyebrows, and the white-clothed waiters standing on both sides of the table all drew their guns and waited, pointing their guns at the three of them.

For a while, the scene was a bit chaotic and stalemate.

Xiu'an stood in front of the table, lowered his head while supporting the case, instead of looking at Doug Lang who was holding a gun at him, but looking at the broken glass on the ground, his smile was bleak.

He didn't ask people to withdraw the gun, nor gave the order to kill. After a while, he slowly said, "Douglan, do you remember? When you were young, you were the king of children. Among the large group of children, you Always so lofty, every word you say is an irresistible order to those children, Mansi always follows you, but she is different, she imitates you, like an invincible queen .Actually, those children all want to learn from you, but none of them learn like you. One by one, they can only be clowns forever. Ha ha!" He sat back on the chair, waved his hand, and let everyone They all put down their guns, and fell into the memory again, "At that time, I would often look at you from a distance, seeing you surrounded by many children in the middle, but I couldn't, because I was your uncle, although I was the same age, but it is forbidden because of the relationship between generations. My father said, I can’t be with you because I am an elder. I can’t follow your ass like a soldier driven by others like them. You grow faster, even, before you are full-fledged, you have to learn to control everything, control everything, he wants to make me, omnipotent. But he is wrong, because no one can be omnipotent, no one. People are emotional animals, everyone has his vulnerable side, everyone has his yearning, desire, worship, and belief, otherwise he would not be forcing me until the moment of death Swear, let me swear that I will take away your power, your position, everything about you, and even your life. But, I don’t want to do that.”

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, exhaled steadily, and when he opened them again, there was sadness inside.

"Douglan, do you still remember the dog you gave me? It's called General. It's very beautiful. It's a very docile Labrador. When I was a child, my father isolated it from the crowd. I had no friends. I saw you walking with it. , Seeing it pick up the flying saucer you threw out again and again, seeing you guys having so much fun, I think you are very happy, once the flying saucer you threw fell under my feet, it ran over, but it was very happy Quietly squatting in front of me, I was pleasantly surprised, while no one was around, I quietly stroked its fur, it was soft and comfortable, and then—you appeared, that was the first time we met face to face alone Speaking, I was happy for the whole night. Later, you gave the general to me, and you often came to see it, so we had more intersections. We took it for a walk and played together. Time was really happy, but one day, it died—”

Listening to Xiu'an's narration of their past, Doug Lang slowly lowered his gun. He walked slowly to the place closest to Xiu'an and sat down.

"You said it died of illness, you are very sad, tell me you are sorry."

Xiu'an chuckled lightly, but the smile was full of sadness, he shook his head, "No, it didn't die of illness, it was killed by me."

Doug Lang was slightly taken aback, and then frowned. He didn't ask, but listened to Xiu'an carefully.

"My father told me that I shouldn't have feelings, because feelings are the greatest weakness of human beings. Feelings can only be used. It's too wasteful for a dog, so he gave me a knife. I killed it myself. I begged him, begged him to let the general go, I said I would never raise it again, but he wouldn't, he just sat in front of me, pushed me, and killed it. We were deadlocked For a long time, all night, he sat in front of me, motionless, without saying a word, and he stared at me with his cold eyes, I doubt he even blinked that night. Doug Lang, I'm scared, I'm really scared, my father - he's a devil. Finally, under the pressure of his eyes, I killed the general, I stroked its head, and beat it with a knife I stabbed it in the stomach with all my strength, because I didn't want to do it again, I didn't want it to die too hard, at that time my hands were covered with its blood, but it was still desperate crawled towards me, licked my hand, comforted me, and when he died, he put his head into my arms, and I held it and cried all day. From that day on, Dougron, I knew , as long as I like it, I must never show it in front of my father. The more I like it, the more I have to be indifferent. I told my father, I am close to you, and I am intimate with you. Those are all fake. I want to use this relationship with you to find your weaknesses, destroy those things you care about most, and take away everything from you. He realized his unfulfilled dream and became the real ruler of the Wo* family. My father was very happy when he heard this, and he said, 'This is my son', but this is not enough, I have to make an appearance to give He saw, so, I started to plan step by step according to his ideas, and implemented the destructive actions within the family. Every step was carefully planned, and the results handed in every time were perfect. My father was very satisfied. In the end , he believed my words, and I can finally be with you openly, Dougron."

The hall was silent, and even He Qingwen gradually suppressed the anger in his heart, and began to listen to this person telling his own story. He didn't know if what Xiu An said was true, maybe it was just like what he said earlier As for the true and the false, because he played too many roles, in the end, even he himself didn't know which one was the real self.

The only thing he felt was his feelings for Doug Lang. He Qingwen never knew that there were so many ties between Xiu'an and Doug Lang.

"Uncle Xiu'an—"

"Don't call me that."

Doug Lang frowned slightly, "Xiu'an!" He whispered his name, as freely as he was a child.

Xiu'an looked at him with a smile that was as bright as the sun, sincere and warm.
