all the way to the stream

In the gathering place of the northern forces.

Guan Haoming's people were surrounded by Chen Shi's people, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense, so to make a long story short," Chen Zicheng looked around and carefully observed everyone's expressions, "The reason why I called everyone here is because there is a traitor among you."

"What? There are traitors?"

"No wonder you called us all here."

"I said why all the Chen lions from the south are here. It turns out that such a big thing happened."

Everyone whispered and discussed.

Guan Haoming has tried his best to control his temper, but the anger in his tone is still fully revealed, "Those who have not committed any crimes, and those who take the initiative to stand up, I promise Brother Cheng to be lenient. However, if it is found out by us, the consequences Worse than them."

Guan Haoming pointed to the two traitors who were thrown into the middle by Chen Shi. The two had been beaten beyond human form, and their bodies were stained with blood. It seemed that they had only their last breath left.Because they couldn't see, the blood-stained hands of the two waved wildly in the air tremblingly, and they kept chanting words of begging for mercy.

Chen Zicheng has been observing since he entered the door, and has already locked on several targets at this time.A few people became confused because of the bloody scene in front of them, Chen Zicheng would not let this opportunity pass.

Chen Zicheng ordered a few people, and Chen Shi immediately sent someone to drag them out. These people didn't even have time to beg for mercy, and they were directly taken out of the circle, and soon there were screams.

This was the first time since the stability of the north, Chen Zicheng called everyone together. Unexpectedly, it was a "public execution", and the momentum was huge, and the methods were so cruel that everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"I'll give you one last chance, otherwise I will end up like them. I'll count to three and make sure I'm not a traitor. Take a step back."

"3...2...1..."

As soon as Chen Zicheng finished speaking, many people took a step back in unison, but there were still many who hesitated for a long time, and finally stood where they were.

This surprised Chen Zicheng. You know, according to the plan, it would be very difficult for one or two to stand up in the first round.Are there... so many traitors?

"Fuck me!!!"

Guan Haoming's donkey temper exploded, and he raised his fist to hit the person closest to him, but was stopped by Chen Zicheng and Guan Feng who just arrived.The rules you set must be followed, otherwise you will not be able to convince the public in the future.

Chen Shi sent a lot of people to isolate those who took the initiative to stand up one by one, and began to interrogate them according to the questions Chen Zicheng asked.The others were also isolated, stared one by one by Chen Shi's people, and everyone faced a camera.

Seeing that Guan Haoming's temper still had no intention of letting go, Guan Feng moved closer to Guan Haoming and whispered, "That boyfriend of yours is quite handsome."

Guan Haoming's fire was suddenly extinguished by Guan Feng, and the residual warmth on his face was terribly hot, "Brother... you, you, what are you talking about?"

"Don't hide it, I've already seen it," Guan Feng patted Guan Haoming's shoulder, "You boy, you're still very tender."

Guan Feng and Chen Zicheng met their gazes, "I know you are worried, so I brought Xiang Nan and Zuo Yang here together."

Chen Zicheng nodded, "Thank you."

"Thank you for saying so early, where are you now?"

Chen Zicheng replied, "There are more than [-] people who took the initiative to stand up."

Guan Feng frowned, "So much?"

"Brother, it's up to you," Guan Haoming gritted his teeth, "Help me find out all the traitors!"

"Easy," Guan Feng sat in front of the surveillance camera and began to carefully observe everyone's demeanor, "Combining the interrogation results of the twenty or so people, it should be cleared up in an hour."

In order to find the most satisfactory talents, Guan Feng specialized in psychology before returning to China to teach, and also got a doctorate in psychology by the way.So there is nothing else to do with Chen Zicheng, just leave it to Guan Feng.

Guan Haoming was very concerned about the traitor, so he stayed with Guan Feng in the monitoring room.

Chen Zicheng met with Chen Shi. He just wanted to get Su Qi's clues as soon as possible, and where did Xiang Xi go alone.

"Has the person sent out contacted you?"

Chen Shi shook his head, "I always let them contact you directly."

Chen Zicheng was a little anxious, "I don't know where Xiang Xi went, and Su Qi couldn't find it either."

"Have you contacted Xiang Xi?"

"He won't answer my phone..."

That's right, Xiang Xi must have misunderstood, it would be abnormal if he answered the phone.Don't ask who is behind the scenes who framed me now, I'm afraid this misunderstanding will never be solved.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to Chen Zicheng's plan, so Chen Zicheng took the time to go to Xiang Nan's side.

As soon as he took a step forward, Chen Zicheng received a fierce look from Zuo Yang.

Xiang Nan lay on the sofa and fell asleep because of excessive fright and sadness.This feeling is not solid, it must be because Xiang Nan is still entangled with reality in the dream.Xiang Nan's body was tightly curled up into a ball, unstoppable tears flowed down her little face all the way to her neck.

Chen Zicheng wanted to reach out to touch Xiang Nan, but Zuo Yang slapped him away.

"Guan Feng should have explained it to you on the way," Chen Zicheng said in a nonchalant manner, "I'm very annoyed now, you'd better not mess with me."

"Do you think I'm annoying you because of this? It's you that I hate!"

"You hate me?" Chen Zicheng felt puzzled, "I have a fucking relationship with you."

"Because of you, Xiang Xi suffered from depression!" When Zuo Yang thought of Xiang Xi's suffering because of Chen Zicheng, he became furious, "Is this enough reason for me to hate you?"

"What?!" Like a thunderbolt from the blue, Chen Zicheng stuttered, "Why, how could it be? Depression?!"

"You're comfortable after finishing your mouth addiction, but do you know how much harm you have caused Xiangxi?!"

"Since when did he suffer from depression?"

"From the day you kissed him forcefully."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Chen Zicheng became emotional, "How is it possible, he has been fine all along!"

"Hehe, Xiang Xi has always been fine," Zuo Yang mocked, "Didn't you check Xiang Xi? With your IQ, don't you understand why he has been suffering from depression since then?!"

"I only know one thing...Xiang Xi didn't want me to check him, so I didn't."

"I didn't watch the good one," Zuo Yang tried his best to control his anger, for fear of waking Xiang Nan up, "Then I'll tell you about Xiang Xi now! Let you, a handsome young master, know that I hate you so much." !"

Chen Zicheng didn't want to hear it, "Xiang Xi doesn't want others to know, so you better stop talking..."

"Oh, the handsome young master now knows how to escape, it's too late! Yes, Xiang Xi didn't want you to know his past at first. But if you check him, he doesn't care. He gave up and pretended to be clean in front of you. .”

Chen Zicheng frowned, "I never felt that Xiangxi was unclean."

"It's so nice to say," Zuo Yang seemed to have heard a joke, "Did you think so when you caught him sleeping with someone else?! Did you think so when you scolded him for being disgusting?! You sent Xiangxi to you Is that what you thought when you threw away the gift?! What you think is insignificant is a hurdle in Xiangxi’s heart! Do you know when Xiangxi hurts the most?! It’s when he laughs I've known him so far and I haven't seen him shed a single tear. He smiles every time he talks to me about you, but the next day his eyes are always red and swollen!"

"I only found out about Xiangxi's depression a few days ago when he told me himself. Xiangxi's most powerful thing is to pretend, pretending to be strong and optimistic, presenting tenderness to everyone, but hiding alone to heal his wounds. From you Since kissing him forcefully, he has been depressed for so long, even I can't see it!"

"I……"

"My ass! You only think about why Xiangxi doesn't want to respond to you, but have you thought about him?! You think about yourself!"

Chen Zicheng was silent, Zuo Yang was right, from the day he made up his mind, he was indeed full of hope for Xiangxi's response.But I didn't realize that every word I said and every action I made hurt Xiang Xi so much.And he was still immersed in the endless cycle of self-deception of "it's good to be able to see Xiangxi".

"Do you know why Xiangxi knows me so well?" Zuo Yang rolled up his sleeves, revealing the tattoos on his arms.

Chen Zicheng was a little surprised when he saw Zuo Yang's tattoo, "This tattoo is also on Xiangxi's body, what does it mean?"

"Because I was a 'puppy' raised by the same 'dog breeder' as him."

"Dog breeder? Puppies?"

"The dog breeders are human traffickers, and puppies are children who have been picked up or abducted. These children will be marked with tattoos by the dog breeders. We don't have a name, and we only know that we are 'puppy'," Zuo Yang said with a wry smile. Xiangxi and I are considered lucky 'puppy', because they are pretty good-looking, so the owner of the dog did not take off his arms to beg for money, but waited for a gold owner to pay a good price to buy it."

"Why don't you wash off the tattoos?"

"Wash it off? Can you forget about it by washing off the tattoo?"

"..."

Indeed can not.

"Later Xiangxi helped me escape."

"What? Then he..."

"I was taught a lesson by the dog owner."

"Why doesn't he go with you."

Zuo Yang was silent for a long time before opening his mouth, "I was abducted, but he... was picked up."

"..."

Chen Zicheng remembered what Xiang Xi said, where is the little boy's destination?

"Later, Xiangxi was bought by a young master from a rich family, and that young master treated him well. Xiangxi came to me after he came out, and he told me that he is very happy now, as long as every night..." Zuo Yang sipped She pursed her lips and clenched her fists angrily, "A few months later, that young master got tired of playing and threw him to a club. You should be very aware of the consequences if you fell off a motorcycle traveling at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour. "

Chen Zicheng thought again that Xiang Xi was afraid that he would take him on a racing car, so it turned out that was the case. . .

"Xiang Xi was seriously injured, but he naively thought it was just a joke. After all, that young master has trained him to only love him and be loved by him..." Zuo Yang couldn't open his mouth, so he skipped After talking about this topic, "Obviously, Xiang Xi suffered a lot during the year in the clubhouse. But when Xiang Xi met that bastard later, he still couldn't fight back. Tell me, is he stupid?"

Chen Zicheng was stunned, and now he regretted that he only stabbed that bastard twice!

"Xiang Xi finally escaped from the clubhouse, and finally met that bastard Xiang Dong again!" Zuo Yang cursed angrily, "Blood was drawn and pierced to match Xiang Nan; Xiang Nan was mischievously burned. Take the bark from Xiangxi and plant it."

"Even so, Xiang Xi still didn't shed a single tear, and even smiled and told me that he loves this family. Tell me, is he stupid?"

You said, is he stupid?

You said, is he stupid?

You said, is he stupid?

Chen Zicheng felt his cheeks turn cold, this was the first time he cried since he was five years old.

Tears burst, Chen Zicheng, who are you crying for?

"I am full of expectations for a new life again and again, but despair again and again. I don't know how Xiangxi survived." Zuo Yang was not moved by Chen Zicheng's tears, "That's why I hate you. Because I met you, Xiangxi Xicai hated himself even more, because of your ignorance, Xiangxi suffered from depression, because of your behavior, Xiangxi..."

"Stop it!" Chen Zicheng shouted suddenly.

Zuo Yang sneered at Chen Zicheng's attitude, "If you mention your harm to Xiang Xi, you won't be allowed to talk about it?"

Chen Zicheng's tears were frightened back by the people behind Zuo Yang, "Xiang...Xiang Nan..."

Zuo Yang turned his head in surprise, facing Xiang Nan's eyes.

Shock.

doubt.

Guilty.
