They Regretted it After Their Hearts Turned to Ashes

Because of Luo Jun's inexplicable words, Ren Chenbai couldn't fully concentrate for the entire meeting that followed.

No matter what, he couldn't figure out what Luo Jun's words meant.

Luo Zhi disappeared again?

This is not uncommon.

Luo Zhi didn't stay in the Luo family very often at all - even if Luo Zhi wanted to, the Luo family couldn't tolerate him.That Mrs. Luo would definitely make a fuss within twelve hours, unless Luo Zhi was stuffed into a remote guest room in the farthest corner.

If it weren't for this, there would be no need for Luo Zhi to be fostered in their home in the first place.

Ren Chenbai was leaning on the seat, listening to the department report, still fiddling with the bluetooth headset that had already hung up the phone.

He was still wearing that gentle mask, listening to a department manager talking about something incomprehensible, but the intense irritability crawled up his spine bit by bit.

...a bunch of trash.

Even he himself didn't know whether this sudden sarcasm was aimed at those subordinates who were eating vegetarian meals, or whether he was angry at the Luo family who even Luo Zhi couldn't look down on.

Of course, it is impossible for the Luo family to stand up to Luo Zhi, and he was even contributing to this incident.

Ren Chenbai has been doing this from a very early age, from the time when they were still very young, from the time when he didn't even hate Luo Zhi.

Relying on calmly pampering and even guiding Luo Zhi back to the Luo family, Ren Chenbai let Luo Zhi see the face of that family clearly time and time again.

He confidently and calmly waited for Luo Zhi to give up completely, and then he stayed in Ren's house and became a family with them forever.

Ren Chenbai couldn't figure out why his mother would punish him for this.

When Luo Zhi was 12 years old, she was pushed down from the second floor by Mrs. Luo and broke her leg, and was taken to Wanghai Villa by her mother to recuperate from the injury for three months.

Ren Chenbai was very happy, and wanted to go to Luo Zhi, but was told by his mother that he was not allowed to go, and he was not allowed to show up until Luo Zhi recovered.

So Ren Chenbai didn't know at all that his mother actually gave Luo Zhi a car.

Why give it to Luo Zhi?

To make Luo Zhi escape?Running where no one can find it?

Ren Chenbai lowered his gaze, and unconsciously exerted force with his fingers, almost crushing the bluetooth headset, only to be reminded by the applause from the department manager's speech.

... Everything changed from those three months.

During those three months, Luo Zhi found a new hobby. He began to paint on a canvas the size of the entire wall that his mother had specially prepared for him, and began to learn guitar and sing by himself.

Every night, Luo Zhi happily chatted with Ren Chenbai about his guitar.

Ren Chenbai watched his progress by leaps and bounds, and watched the piece that he was stumbling a week ago quickly be played smoothly.Looking at the boy who used to only dare to follow behind him and was wary of outsiders, he took the initiative to go to the bonfire party by the sea to play with tourists.

Ren Chenbai looked at Luo Zhi who was sitting on the sand playing flamenco.

There were many people listening to his guitar around the bonfire that day, the fire reflected the boy's face flushed, and his eyes were as bright as stars falling into it.

Luo Zhi sat on the beach, her short hair was caressed by the sea breeze.He was holding the guitar in his hand, and the impromptu, lively and enthusiastic tunes flowed from his arms, like wildfire burning freely in a prairie fire.

That silent and gloomy boy who always hides alone in a corner of Ren's house where no one can see him lost his mind is like a blazing and bright fire that suddenly came into contact with a little spark. .

Many times, Ren Chenbai couldn't help but wonder if Luo Zhi would never have the day when his heart was ashamed.

Could it be that as long as you give him a little spark, even a little bit of light of hope, he will be able to find a reason for himself to live happily.

Could it be that as long as there is one person who is still kind to him, he can stagger and wrestle the last bit of strength to climb out of the mud that dragged him down.

……

Ren Chenbai finally crushed the bluetooth headset, the broken plastic shell was extremely sharp, and it stabbed hard into his fingertips, and blood gushed out instantly.

The department manager who was speaking was taken aback: "Quick! How is this—"

The department manager caught a glimpse of the gloomy coldness in Ren Chenbai's eyes, shuddered in fright, and instinctively stopped talking.

"You are a subsidiary that my mother has supported in the past."

Ren Chenbai said: "For this reason, I have given you many opportunities."

His tone was flat, but everyone present was still in a cold sweat, and the entire conference room was completely silent.

Ren Chenbai suddenly fell silent.

He looked at the blood bubbling from his fingertips, but the silent Luo Zhi in the ward appeared in his mind as if he had died.

At that time, he didn't know that Luo Zhi was already in a coma. Luo Zhi was thrown away by him, and his forehead hit the foot of the bed, but no blood flowed from the wound.

It was as if the blood in that body had been drained almost, because there was really nothing to bleed out, so the whole person began to cool down slowly.

It was the paleness and tranquility that Luo Zhi had never experienced during the two years when she first came back.

Ren Chenbai pushed Luo Zhi into the mud with his own hands.He watched Luo Zhi struggling, seeing Luo Zhi unable to hold any of his hands, he called Luo Cheng and let Luo Zhi hear with his own ears how the sister he cared about the most disregarded his life or death.

Sure enough, Luo Zhi sank little by little as he wished, and was swallowed by the icy black water little by little, but she still never got angry with him.

Luo Zhi was soft-hearted towards him, and was far more tolerant towards him than towards the Luo family.

Luo Zhi gave him many chances.

I don't know where this idea came from, but it was completely overthrown by a sneer that was extremely mocking - Luo Zhi gave him a chance?

Just kidding, he is punishing Luo Zhi, and Luo Zhi's crime will be redeemed for a lifetime.

From the day Luo Zhi killed his mother, they had no possibility at all.

Even the idea of ​​wanting to treat Luo Zhi a little better, Ren Chenbai actually didn't know whether he was worthy of his mother who was let down by Luo Zhi.

"For the last time, let's see what you can do."

Ren Chenbai said: "Think about what you have done before."

The managers in the conference room looked at each other with bated breaths, and everyone fell silent.

Ren Shuangmei was the one who told the Ren family in the past.After Mr. Ren passed away unexpectedly due to illness, they really neglected and fooled this little Mr. Ren who was always gentle and gentle.

"Yes, is there some misunderstanding?" One of the older managers took a chance and bravely said, "Mr. Ren, we..."

"If you have wasted this opportunity, pack up and leave."

Ren Chenbai interrupted him: "There will be no next time."

The manager shut his mouth tightly for a moment.

No one dared to say another word, everyone trembled with fear, lowered their heads tremblingly, and slipped out of the conference room in desperation.

Ren Chenbai didn't leave immediately.

He watched the assistant help him heal the wound, and then asked someone to bring the computer, and he packed up the promised things and sent them to Luo Jun's mailbox.

Then he asked for another pair of headphones and connected them to the computer.

Last night, Ren Chenbai did go to Huaisheng Entertainment alone.

After Luo Zhi left, Huaisheng Entertainment as a whole was in a lot of chaos, and many departments began to slow down.In addition, Jian Huaiyi's management ability is far inferior to Luo Zhi's, and the whole company is actually going downhill rapidly.

It's just because Li Weiming's heat is high, and the fire is cooking oil and flowers, temporarily covering up those ominous omens.

Luo Chengxiu is old and confused, he can forcefully pull a company that is almost delisted and bankrupt within three years. Luo Zhi's talent is quite strong. If there were no accidents, his ability would not be weaker than Luo Jun.

Of course, Ren Chenbai is not because of this soft heart - no matter how well that company does, it is still the business of the Luo family.Luo Zhi refused to listen to his persuasion, and insisted on doing a good job in the company, and now it really belongs to Jian Huaiyi.

Luo Zhi will never learn to listen to his advice.

Ren Chenbai suppressed the coldness in his eyes, and clicked on the video on the computer.

His cooperation with Jian Huaiyi was not on the bright side, but he never thought of covering it up. He was indeed collaborating with Jian Huaiyi.

So Jian Huaiyi's assistant was completely unprepared for him, and after hearing him say that there were important documents left in Mr. Jian's office, he took him there.

On Jian Huaiyi's desktop, there just happened to be a USB flash drive newly sent by the person below.

There are a lot of organized videos in the U disk.

These videos are all related to Luo Zhi, collected by Li Weiming's pervasive fans.

Li Weiming's own people are managing a few big Vs who are making troubles, sifting out the parts that are really unusable, and then posting maliciously edited and distorted descriptions of these videos to the Internet.

Ren Chenbai copied a copy and brought it back. He sent the maliciously edited and distorted parts as evidence to Luo Jun, and dragged the rest into the player one by one.

Ren Chenbai put on his headphones and stared at the screen.

The materials that are screened out and not used, that is, even if the right and wrong are turned upside down through editing, there is no way to change the nature of the picture itself.

The blurry picture stabilized after shaking a few times, the distance is not too close, but Luo Zhi can barely be recognized.

Luo Zhi sat in the rain and played his guitar.

The sound of the guitar was not as good as that by the bonfire, probably because Luo Zhi couldn't hear it, or maybe because Luo Zhi's mood finally changed.

Luo Zhi himself didn't realize that he actually almost lost consciousness several times in that rain, even his head and hands had already drooped down.

Luo Zhi was pushed by the wind and swayed, the guitar was about to fall out of his hand, but Luo Zhi hugged him tightly again as if awakened from a start.

Luo Zhi looked around, but no one knew what he was looking for, maybe even he himself didn't know.

Luo Zhi couldn't find anything.

……

Ren Chenbai looked at the final result of his revenge.

He had already watched this video last night, and he thought he was reviewing and admiring it, but unexpectedly, he couldn't feel any pleasure.

On the contrary, it was the words that director Gong Hanrou said, which popped up for no reason, and lingered in his mind all night.

Do you regret it?Can't talk about it.

He didn't think he was wrong, it was what Luo Zhi owed his mother.

He just suddenly felt that maybe it was almost here.He thought about letting Luo Zhi live in pain for the rest of his life, but Luo Zhi's current appearance seemed to have only half of his life left.

Ren Chenbai thought that he would probably find someone to fix Luo Zhi's ears.

When they were no longer teenagers, he was also tired.Maybe he can't pretend to let go of his hatred, pretend that all the twists and turns have not happened, and pretend that everything is still the same as before.

Maybe it's not that he can't treat Luo Zhi better.

Maybe he can pretend that he doesn't hate Luo Zhi.

Sooner or later, Ren Chenbai will deal with Li Weiming and make that little star pay for these things—but so far, Ren Chenbai still needs to use Li Weiming and Jian Huaiyi to get Luo Zhi back.

Luo Zhi has nowhere to go, and will still come back sooner or later.

When Luo Zhi comes back, let him kneel down to his mother for one night, let them pretend that this matter is forgotten by them.

If Luo Zhi is unwilling to go back to Ren's house, he can arrange a quieter apartment for Luo Zhi, or send Luo Zhi to a nursing home, where Luo Zhi can recuperate...

……

So where did Luo Zhi go?

Ren Chenbai slowly frowned.

He watched the blurry video, watched Luo Zhi playing his guitar in the rain, and watched the progress bar below finish step by step.

It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized that not only he hadn't answered Luo Jun directly, but Luo Jun hadn't answered his question all along.

What exactly did Luo Jun see that caused such a change in attitude?

What unforgivable thing did Jian Huaiyi do to Luo Zhi?

He seemed to be haunted by some strange state, and he didn't realize something was wrong until now.And when he discovered this, the crazily bred uneasiness filled his whole body in an instant.

For no reason, Ren Chenbai suddenly thought of Luo Zhi who was rescued that day.

Luo Zhi lay quietly on the bed, her body followed the electric shock device and rose silently before falling back. The body that seemed to have lost any breath of life was lighter than he imagined, so light that it seemed that the last bit of life had been emptied. Strength to go down.

So where did Luo Zhi go, and why didn't that trash Luo Jun catch anyone?

In Luo Zhi's current state, if he gets lost, what will happen?

Where will Luo Zhi run to?Can I get it back?So why on earth is he taking his time here so slowly?

What was he haunted by? !

Ren Chenbai suddenly became flustered like never before, he stood up and walked back and forth a few steps, and opened the door of the conference room forcefully.

The assistant who was guarding outside the conference room was taken aback, and hurried over: "Mr. Ren..."

"Look for it." Ren Chenbai squeezed the door frame hard, he took a deep breath, and exhaled tremblingly, "The person I asked you to look for before, keep looking."

The assistant was taken aback, hesitated for a moment before asking: "...Bring it back?"

"Nonsense!" Ren Chenbai snapped, "Bring it back! If he refuses—"

The assistant was indeed in charge of looking for Luo Zhi for a while, and actually found some clues, but there was no further information after that.

But at that time, Ren Chenbai just casually ordered, and didn't urge or ask about the result. They thought he was an unimportant person.

The assistant didn't dare to ask any more questions, and kept silent in fear, waiting for a new arrangement.

Ren Chenbai also realized his gaffe, he pressed his forehead hard, and controlled the volume: "If you don't agree... just let me know."

"I'll pick him up." Ren Chenbai said, "Don't hurt him."

"Don't hurt him, don't scare him."

Ren Chenbai closed his eyes: "Don't rush to bring him back, first send him to the best hospital nearby, and then notify me."

The assistant heard that something was wrong, nodded quickly in response, and ran to do it.

Ren Chenbai stood at the door of the conference room.

He was suddenly terrified of a possibility.

Perhaps it was because I was so frightened that it was hard to even imagine the possible specific content, leaving only a large blank space that made people feel cold.

He couldn't think about it anymore.

Ren Chenbai was not in the mood to watch those videos again, so he called someone to shut down the computer and send him back to the office, then went downstairs and left the company.

……

When someone comes to clean up the computer, the player jumps automatically, and the next video just pops out.

Luo Zhi sat on the corner of the street, holding a drawing board and drawing.

This time the picture is not so blurry, it seems to be taken while sitting in a coffee shop on a certain street corner, separated only by a floor-to-ceiling window and a rain.

In front of Luo Zhi stood a man in a windbreaker.

The person's face could not be seen from the angle of the video, and Luo Zhi's figure was mostly blocked by the other party.

In the picture, Luo Zhi could only be seen leaning on the corner of the street, raising his head and talking to the other party, and after he finished speaking, he handed the drawing board to the other party, took off the guitar and pushed it over.

The man doesn't want a guitar, he just wants to paint.

But Luo Zhi is stubborn.

These two people didn't know which step they failed to agree on, so they pushed back and forth in the rain that could flood the sky. In the end, that person finally compromised before Luo Zhi, gathered up the hem of his clothes and squatted down.

He bent his shoulders, tilted the whole umbrella on top of Luo Zhi's head, and said something to Luo Zhi with a serious expression.

Luo Zhi tried his best to open his eyes to see, but the light in his eyes still dimmed little by little, and he even kept his original posture, just passed out so silently.

The man didn't wait for a response, and repeated it several times.

Luo Zhi leaned against the wall, closed her eyes slightly, and did not move.

The man raised his hand to touch Luo Zhi's forehead, but before he touched it, Luo Zhi's body suddenly convulsed, and conditioned reflex curled his arms to protect his throat.

The man stayed where he was.

Luo Zhi slowed down for a few seconds, shook his head to wake up, and gave him the painting, the guitar, and a lot of belongings.

The other party was well-dressed, and it seemed rather funny to carry such a pile of odds and ends.But he thanked him anyway, put the umbrella into Luo Zhi's hand, got up and left with all Luo Zhi's belongings as agreed.

The story seems to end here.

The person who recorded the video seemed to think so too. The screen was turned upside down with the phone, but suddenly he seemed to have discovered something, and quickly returned to the original fixed point amidst the background sound of whispered discussions.

The man from just now is back.This time, he didn't hold anything in his hands. According to the faint silhouette in the corner of the video, he probably just went to put those things on the car not far away.

He seemed to have guessed that Luo Zhi would not be able to open an umbrella properly, so he squatted down and held Luo Zhi's hand, and helped him straighten the umbrella to block the overly cold rain above his head.

Then he raised his right hand, and the palm of his hand lit up, proving that he didn't take anything, and just stopped by his ear.

He looked at Luo Zhi, as if he was waiting for a certain permission.

What permission is he waiting for?

The person who took the video discussed in a low voice, and the person who cleaned up the computer was also curious, and did not turn off the screen immediately, holding his breath and waiting for the final answer.

Luo Zhi was covered under an umbrella.

He opened his eyes and stared motionlessly at the figure in front of him.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Zhihu's arm on his chest finally slowly came down.

So the other party got the permission, thanked him politely, and put his hand on Luo Zhi's head.

He put his hand on the top of Luo Zhi's head, and rubbed it lightly and slowly.
