Although it was midnight, on the other side of the city, Friedrich had just downed a whole glass of wine in one sitting.The empty wine glass was placed on the table, and was quickly filled again.

Lu Chong tactfully did not try to dissuade him, and conveniently opened two more bottles for him, "They all said that they might have made a mistake, so don't put on a bad face. Gu Huaiyu doesn't necessarily have to pretend..."

Halfway through the conversation, Friedrich glanced at him coldly, and Lu Chong immediately swallowed back the second half of the sentence, "Drink whatever you want today, I'll pay for it, okay?"

A circle of people sitting around followed suit, and the noisy drinking party lasted until three or four in the morning.But Fu Lize himself was not drunk, he was conscious, and he was able to wake up Lu Chong, who was already slumbering beside him, to get up and leave.

At this time, the clubhouse is very lively.They got out of the box on the top floor and walked across the dance floor. The loud music woke Lu Chong up completely.He looked around, and saw that the boy picked tonight was smiling sweetly and following behind him, while Friedrich was walking slowly towards the elevator alone without taking anyone with him.

"It's really good enough to clean oneself." Taking advantage of the loud music, he whispered.

After these words, Friedrich stopped and looked towards the corner of the dance floor, as if he was sizing up someone.

He stood there for half a minute, his expression was not as interested as usual, he turned his head slightly and whispered something to his assistant, and then the two of them went to that corner.

"what happened?"

Friedrich was noncommittal, and said blankly, "Don't leave now, I'll ask a few words."

After saying that, he turned around and went back upstairs, and sent someone to empty the box.Lu Chong followed in at a loss, and after waiting for a while, the door of the box opened.

Several people came in with a half-drunk boy, with delicate features but a very lustful expression—the kind of expression that is common among men and women who hang out at nightclubs, and he may have just taken two pills.

Afraid of getting into trouble, the manager smiled apologetically, "Mr. Fu, Paul..."

Most of the night passed, and the ice in the ice bucket on the table melted a lot.Friedrich pushed the ice bucket forward and said, "I'll ask you a few words, and I'll release it later."

He then said to the two people standing behind the boy, "Make him sober."

The manager didn't dare to say any more when he saw the battle, bowed and smiled, and voluntarily withdrew.

As soon as the door was closed, most of the bucket of ice water was poured on the person who was huddled against the wall. Paul yelled, jumped up and shook his head twice, staring blankly at the person in front of him.

He was stunned for a moment before recovering, and recognized the man in front of him, "Mr. Fu..." Some shattered ice fell into his collar, making him tremble, "I, I..."

Friedrich knocked on the table impatiently, stopping the other party's useless defense, "Don't be nervous, I'll ask you a few words."

Before he could speak the question, he paused again, scanning his subordinates standing across from him.Several people were stunned by him, looked at each other, and left consciously.

Lu Chong suddenly had an ominous premonition, felt restless, and wanted to get up and run away.But Friedrich had already asked leisurely, "Where did Colonel Gu take you after the last poker game?"

Lu Chong had no choice but to sit back awkwardly.

While trembling, Paul repeated the rhetoric of that day not very neatly.

After he had just said a few words, Fritz leaned over slightly, observed him with a pair of eyes that were not warm, and said in a calm tone, "Do you know how many people who take/overdose will die in this kind of place overnight?"

Paul looked up at him in horror.

"One more of you is not much, and one less of you is not much. Think clearly and say it again."

Lu Chong folded his hands and sat on the side, always feeling that he was going to hear something he shouldn't hear.Sure enough, the boy's lips turned pale from the fright of Friedrich's words, and he murmured, "It's just in the hotel..."

"Colonel Gu took me downstairs and left. I, I waited for a long time. It was another person who told me that I should answer as he said..."

The shattered ice has been melted into water by body temperature, soaking the shirt. Paul didn't dare to move, and hung his head shyly. After a while, he heard a sentence thrown to him, "Okay, let's go."

As if he was pardoned, he scrambled and opened the door and ran out.

The private room was unprecedentedly quiet, and the sound insulation should be good, but Lu Chong felt that it was so quiet that he could hear the noise downstairs.

He didn't leave, and he didn't leave. He thought it would be unlucky to witness Gu Huaiyu play a trick on Friedrich last time, but he didn't think there would be a second time.

But Friedrich looked much calmer.A thought of "Once born and second time familiar" flashed in Lu Chong's mind, and he almost bit his own tongue in fright.

Friedrich leaned on the armrest of the sofa thoughtfully, as if not too angry.Lu Chong really didn't want to waste it like this, so he bit the bullet and asked, "Let's go?"

So the two went downstairs in silence.After a whole night of tossing around, Lu Chong was so hungry that he felt dizzy. He planned to have morning tea at a nearby hotel and asked his friend if he wanted to go with him.

However, as soon as they walked out of the building, Friedrich's confidants hurried up to greet them, as if they had something very important to say.

After listening to the report, Friedrich furrowed his brows that hadn't really frowned all night, "I'm leaving first."

After speaking, he quickly got into the car, asked the driver to drive to the villa, and made several consecutive phone calls.

The car drove back to the villa at home, and the servant prepared breakfast and put it on the dining table.Fu Lize picked up a cup of coffee and drank a couple of sips to wake himself up before turning on the communicator to find Shen Pingchuan.

He came to disturb him early in the morning, but Shen Pingchuan was not dissatisfied, and chatted with him in a good mood.

Friedrich asked sideways, "Old Shen, do you still have any impression of a man named A Song next to Gu Huaipei?"

"I can't remember the people around him very clearly." Shen Pingchuan's voice was very hearty, "Why, are you still checking on Gu Huaipei's people? Do you want those..."

He purposely stopped halfway through his speech, waiting for an answer from the other side.

But the human voice in the communicator stopped for a few seconds, and then, only heard Frize say casually, "It's nothing to do with you."

Shen Pingchuan was a little surprised. Before he realized what kind of trick Frize was playing with him, the other party had already cut off the call.

Fortunately, Shen Pingchuan wanted to test Friedrich, but there were plenty of opportunities.

In the past two days, the establishment of a new base by the military department has not yet come to an end. Batch after batch of partners and military officers have entered and left the new base to discuss the details of each sub-development project.He made a random excuse that night, invited Friedrich to the club at the base, and continued the topic he hadn't finished talking about in the morning.

But Friedrich didn't seem to be very interested in the secret accounts and transaction information that he kept going back and forth, and he was obviously more vigilant about whether he had anything to do with Gu Huaipei's remaining deputies who sneaked in.

Yes, people always cherish their lives.Fu Lize and Gu Huaiyu each accounted for Gu Huaipei's life, so it's no wonder that they were afraid of people seeking revenge.

Shen Pingchuan had his own calculations in his mind, and shrewdly avoided several important questions.

This slippery and exquisite demeanor made Fu Lize a little annoyed. He found out that A Song might have found Shen Pingchuan, just like Gu Huaipei before.Then next...

Holding the wine glass, he was still thinking about how to get something out of Shen Pingchuan, but when the other party's eyes lit up, he said behind him, "Colonel Gu."

Fu Lize's back stiffened, but it was too late to avoid it.Gu Huaiyu walked over by himself, stood in front of him, and said with a smile, "Mr. Fu is also here."

Now all the coincidences related to Gu Huaiyu cannot be believed to be true coincidences.Friedrich turned his face away, hummed briefly, and took back what he wanted to interrogate.

He had a bad attitude and didn't meet people's eyes, so naturally he didn't know that Gu Huaiyu's eyes stopped on his face.

"What are you talking about?"

"Some small things. By the way, thank you Colonel Gu for sending someone yesterday. The little girl Pingshan was so happy." Shen Pingchuan raised his glass, "Colonel Gu must come to her birthday party next week."

"Yeah." Gu Huaiyu said with a smile, "I'll definitely be there."

"Okay, I also have a big gift for Colonel Gu." Shen Pingchuan clinked glasses with Gu Huaiyu tacitly, nodded politely and walked away.

Listening to their conversation, Fu Lize hesitated to speak, and after Shen Pingchuan walked away, he stopped him in a blunt tone, "Be careful recently."

Gu Huaiyu stopped, handed the empty wine glass to the waiter, and looked at him slightly sideways.

He blinked, his eyelashes were long, and his innocent eyes made it impossible not to feel protective.Friedrich restrained himself and spoke as business as possible, "There are a few people under Gu Huaipei... who haven't dealt with it cleanly, and may have returned. Tell Qin Kai to pay more attention."

"Oh." Gu Huaiyu responded in a low voice, moving closer to the man, "Got it."

He didn't look like he was going to leave immediately. Friedrich held back, but still couldn't hold back, and asked in a slightly cold voice, "What gift did you give Shen Pingshan?"

"Birthday gift." Gu Huaiyu shot feignedly, but didn't answer him directly, "Mr. Zhou Fu will also go next week."

Of course he had received the invitation, but Friedrich never paid attention to these trivial matters. He always waited for his assistant to remind him two days in advance, so when he mentioned it rashly, he naturally didn't remember it.

After Gu Huaiyu finished his answer, he made a gesture to serve a new glass of wine.Friedrich blocked it with his hand, stared at him and said angrily, "You are very attentive to her."

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, his hand half pressed Gu Huaiyu's wrist.The strength is not heavy, but it has the meaning of not letting people go.Gu Huaiyu looked down, touched the back of the man's hand with his left hand, and then gently pushed it away after half a minute, saying, "It's just a courtesy."

Friedrich lowered his head and looked deeply at the young man in front of him.

Gu Huaiyu is actually only half a head shorter than him, with good skills, and a personality that is soft on the outside and fierce on the inside, and he knows that he doesn't need anyone to protect him.

But as long as he raised his face and was willing to cast his gaze over, staring purely and sincerely, Friedrich became irresistible.

His life in the past twenty years was not smooth, but he almost never fell twice in the same place.If there is a fork in the road in life, Gu Huaiyu is probably going astray, but the magnificent scenery, full of burning flames and cold fjords, forced him to go forward willingly.

At this moment, Fu Lize really wanted to grab Gu Huaiyu's wrist and drag him to a place where there were only two of them. According to Lu Chong's words, there were too many accounts between them, and it was indeed necessary to settle them carefully.

It's a pity that before he could move, he heard Fang Ting who suddenly appeared and shouted, "Xiao Yu!"

The voice was neither high nor low, breaking the deadlock between the two.

As soon as Fang Ting saw them entangled together, he subconsciously rushed over to pull Gu Huaiyu away, and said vigilantly, "Qin Kai is looking for you."

Then he led people towards the door involuntarily, but Gu Huaiyu didn't resist, and looked back at Friedrich, with an almost imperceptible smile hidden in the corner of his mouth.

Friedrich flinched, his face was ugly. After a long time, his brows slowly relaxed, and he said to Xu Tezhu who was waiting beside him, "Go and find out when Shen Pingshan's birthday party is."

"I'll go myself."

Flash forward to next week, and I heard that Shen Pingshan's birthday party had some ingenious tricks, and it was set at a hotel on a newly built artificial island near the base.From noon on that day, people arrived one after another. Friedrich was one of the late arrivals, and he drove here just before sunset.

While being courteous, he paid attention to Gu Huaiyu's movements.Shen Pingchuan entertained the guests for afternoon tea, arranged dinner, and said that he and a few friends would accompany his sister to go out to sea.

However, when he walked near the prepared cruise ship, Friedrich didn't see Shen Pingshan.He was still guessing what Shen Pingchuan was up to, but the other party came to stop him, "Mr. Fu, you don't have to go on this boat together."

Gu Huaiyu boarded the boat early, stood on the deck and looked this way.His face was backlit, and his expression could not be seen clearly.Just as Fu Lize was about to explode, Gu Huaiyu spoke before him, "There is nothing wrong with listening to Mr. Fu."

The people on the shore were stunned for a moment, Shen Pingchuan had a weird expression on his face, but it seemed that he really didn't want to disobey Gu Huaiyu's intentions, so when he saw him speak, he moved aside.

Friedrich boarded the cruise ship and looked towards the bow. The deck was almost full of roses.The roses were big and full, with beautiful blue spots around the edges of their pink petals.There are a few handfuls of red and black intertwined colors, gorgeous and warm.

Needless to say, I knew it was for Shen Pingshan's birthday.

Fu Lize stopped walking towards the cabin, looked at Gu Huaiyu, and quickly lifted his legs up.

They entered the largest reception room on the cruise ship, half of the wall was covered with slanted glass windows, and the interior was well lit.At sunset, the sun had lost much of its heat, and a group of people sat down in twos and threes, as if they were waiting for something.

Fu Lize noticed that there was an indescribable tacit understanding between Gu Huaiyu and Shen Pingchuan today, which made him uncomfortable. He leaned on the sofa and looked at the two people back and forth.

Gu Huaiyu was sitting only one coffee table away from him, drinking a cup of coffee slowly.Not long after, Shen Pingchuan received a message, stood up and nodded to Gu Huaiyu before leaving.

Before Friedrich could ask what drama they were singing, there was a sound of fighting downstairs, and then Shen Pingchuan came in again, with a man tied up behind him.

——It's Asong.

His mouth was sealed with tape, and when he saw the eyes of the two people sitting in the room, their eyes were red, and he let out a few muffled growls.

Gu Huaiyu looked at him quietly, smiled, and said to Shen Pingchuan, "This is the gift Mr. Shen wants to give me?"

Shen Pingchuan said: "Yes, this kid came to me as soon as he smuggled back to the country. He wants me to help him find a chance to deal with you."

He paused and laughed, "However, no one can take seriously the words of people at the end of the road. Besides, when it comes to the conditions and benefits of being able to open... What does Colonel Gu say?"

"Mr. Shen is so sincere, we can talk about it slowly in the future." Gu Huaiyu said, "I will accept this gift."

"That's good." Shen Pingchuan said with a smile, and kicked the man kneeling on the ground to make him roll to the tea table, "I won't bother you, Colonel Gu has nothing to say..."

Before the words fell, there were several sudden gunshots below the cruise ship, and everyone in the room was shocked.The man who fell on the ground jumped up suddenly, and broke free from the ropes that bound his hands, as if he had spotted the mixing ice pick placed in the ice bucket on the table, and was about to stab Gu Huaiyu in the chest as soon as he pulled it out.

"Xiao Yu!" Friedrich was closer, reacting faster, subconsciously pushed him with his left hand, and blocked the attack with his right hand.

Gu Huaiyu dodged and fell halfway, and at the same time heard a dull piercing sound from behind.He looked back, and the front end of the ice pick had already sunk into Friedrich's left shoulder, and a stream of scarlet blood soaked in and out, quickly staining a large area of ​​shirt red.

His mind was blank, and he rushed over instinctively.Seeing him bumping into him, A Song let out a smirk, and ruthlessly pulled out the ice pick to continue stabbing him.

Gu Huaiyu dodges, locks his throat from behind, and is about to break his right hand when he suddenly changes hands and stabs him.

The ice pick pierced a blood hole in his upper arm. Gu Huaiyu's expression didn't change at all. He broke the thumb of the man's left hand, kicked the ice pick away, and cut his right hand back behind him. arm.

Asong was still covered, and his screams were much lower.It was only then that the people around reacted and tied them up again.

Shen Pingchuan went downstairs to check the situation, within 2 minutes, Qin Kai rushed in with a few subordinates armed with guns, and was taken aback when he saw this scene, "Ah Song's two brothers got on this boat and have already been caught. "

Gu Huaiyu's eyes were only on Friedrich's wound, without turning his head, he said, "Call the doctor over. Then deal with what needs to be done."

"Yes." Qin Kai took a peek at Fu Lize who was leaning on a corner of the sofa, then looked at the wound on his boss' left arm, and immediately went to find the doctor on board.

The reception room was quickly cleaned up, and the doctor also came and bandaged them briefly.Gu Huaiyu's injury was much milder, and it could be resolved by disinfection and hemostasis.The injury on Friedrich's shoulder looked horrific, and he needed to go back to the hospital on shore for treatment.

The room was silent, only the movement of the doctor debridement.Gu Huaiyu pursed his lips, seeing Fu Lize leaning there drowsily at the mercy of others, with a painful expression on his face.

"Mr. Gu, your clothes." The doctor in charge of dressing him called him, "If you don't take it off, you won't be able to treat the wound on your upper arm."

Fu Lize also turned to look at him when he heard the words. Gu Huaiyu unbuttoned a button neatly at first, but he seemed to remember something and didn't go any further.

"Mr. Gu?"

Gu Huaiyu held his collar, stared at the man beside him for a moment, then slowly let go of his hand, and quickly took off his shirt.

As soon as he let go of his hand, Friedrich knew what he was covering up.He looked at the necklace with mixed feelings, but didn't say a word.

The doctor withdrew after finishing the treatment, leaving only the two of them in the huge reception room.The cruise ship was sailing towards the shore, and the sunset was about to end, and the port of the artificial island was lit up with lights one after another.

Gu Huaiyu wasn't sure about his attitude, so he walked over cautiously, lowered his head, stroked the bandage lightly, and whispered, "Does it hurt?"

Friedrich suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed his wrist, and forced him to lean closer to him.

He raised his hand to hook the necklace, and asked without emotion, "Stop pretending?"

Gu Huaiyu pursed his lips, trying to change the subject, "Why did you block that attack for me just now?"

This time Fritz was not led away by him, and continued to talk to himself, "When did you remember it? Or did you not forget it at all?"

"It's fun to lie to me once or twice, isn't it?"

Gu Huaiyu was slightly suffocated for breathing, and the hand that was pressing on the bandage also froze.

He looked at the man for a short second, his back was tense, and he said in a low voice, "Don't you dislike me? Don't you hate me so much that you want to join hands with Gu Huaipei?"

He looked away, "Isn't it good for you if I forget about the past? I'll give you back everything and let you go."

"Stop doing this with me." Friedrich couldn't move his left hand, so he could only let go of his wrist, and instead grabbed the delicate chin, forcing Gu Huaiyu to look at him, "You think I don't know you're here?" What are you thinking?"

"Why is it so easy to get information about the hospital? Why did that Paul say everything after I asked him a few times? Huh?"

He asked clearly, his eyes could not be called defensive, but he was also very cold, and said word by word, "Gu Huaiyu, you said you would let me go after all your efforts?"

"I don't think you have any plans at all."

The noisy whistle of the port can already be heard faintly, and the cruise ship is about to enter the port.

The setting sun was about to sink completely below the horizon, leaving only a faint afterglow to shine on the two of them.

He didn't know whether it was because of blood loss or because the sky was too dark, but Friedrich couldn't see the expression of the person on his body clearly, and could vaguely hear his unsteady breathing.

After waiting for a long time, Gu Huaiyu finally spoke up.

He easily broke free from the man, picked up the coat that was hanging on the armrest, and took out a gun from the inside.The voice also became completely different from before, calmer and more embarrassing.

"Yes, I will not let you go."

Although he had just been injured, his movements were clean and beautiful. Gu Huaiyu quickly pushed the brand-new magazine into the gun, and the metallic click sound made Friedrich's heart skip a beat.

"You're right, Ze, I never want to let you go." He loaded the gun, held the barrel, and handed it to Friedzer calmly, "If you want to leave, the gun is here."

He spoke calmly, as if he had no scruples anymore, he disarmed and surrendered to Friedzer, and handed himself over to him.

The dark brown eyes seemed to have no light in the darkness, but reflected a face more clearly.Gu Huaiyu remained motionless, standing where he was, looking at the person half a meter away from him in a clumsy, slow and heavy way, as if this was the source of all the faint light in his life.

The cruise ship docked, the hull shook, and Gu Huaiyu's hand holding the gun also shook.Friedrich looked at him and slowly raised his right hand.

The gun was opened by Friedrich with a wave of his hand, Gu Huaiyu's eyes darkened, the man fiercely pinched the back of his head, biting his lips and tongue, the action was so intense that both of them tasted the smell of blood, but they didn't stop.

Someone knocked at the door, and after two knocks, they stopped bothering.

Friedrich pressed him and kissed him for a long time. When they parted, the sky outside the window was already dark.

The not so bright moonlight reflected a little water in Gu Huaiyu's eyes, Friedrich stared at him for a long time, covered him up and kissed him, licked off the drop of bitter and salty liquid, gropingly intertwined with his fingers, and fell in love and hate Said, "Gu Huaiyu."

"you liar."

At the port, Qin Kai prepared his special car and waited for a while before his boss helped him out.

They got into the car and drove towards the hospital.Friedrich and Gu Huaiyu sat alone in the back seat, watching the cruise ship receding rapidly outside the car window, and inadvertently remembered the roses that were placed on the deck just now.

So he exerted some strength, squeezed the hand wrapped in the palm, and said with a straight face, "Don't send flowers to anyone else."

Gu Huaiyu turned his head obediently, showing a gentle and gentle smile.He leaned forward and kissed the corner of his lips, and said, "Who said it was given to someone else?"
