match in black

As soon as Lin Qian let go, the middle-aged man fell to the ground as if his spine had been removed. At this moment, his face was ashen, and only his slightly trembling shoulders revealed the fear in his heart.The photo that Lin Qian took out at the last moment crushed him, making him unable to ignite the slightest fighting spirit of rage.

Lin Qian loosened his wrist and let out a breath of relief.Fortunately, he had been watching outside the meeting room, and stopped the man before he was cornered with a backhand blow, otherwise Gu Jingxi might not be able to keep his pretty face today.He thought so in his heart, but his expression and movements were very restrained, he only nodded to Gu Jingxi and then backed away a little.Gu Jingxi didn't respond at all, he just turned his head to the side, as if Lin Qian didn't exist, but he didn't even look at him.

They've been like this for a long time.

——The accidental voyeurism eight years ago blocked a hurdle that no one could cross between him and Gu Jingxi.After that night, Lin Qian and Gu Jingxi became estranged again, and the small friendship that had been built up gradually over a long period of ten years completely disintegrated in one day, leaving only the hollow shell outside.

Lin Qian couldn't face Gu Jingxi as calmly as before. He intuitively felt that Gu Jingxi's mother's death had an inescapable relationship with his father.After that night, he often returns to the midnight time when he shared the bed with Gu Jingxi for the first time in his dreams. In his memory, Gu Jingxi looks calm, but every word and sentence is like thunder roaring in the dream world.

"My mother doesn't like me very much either. She said she thinks of my father when she sees me."

"One day she suddenly went crazy, saying that my dad doesn't love her, and that everyone is lying to her."

"She asked me why I was born, and she said it would have been better if I hadn't been born."

Gu Jingxi's face turned into Gu Shenzhi's again. The man with indifferent eyebrows frowned in a rare way under the dim light in the middle of the night, and the painful tone full of sorrow and longing made Lin Qian unable to move even in his dream, panting. I can't breathe.

"I miss you."

The faces of Gu Jingxi and Gu Shenzhi alternately appeared back and forth in Lin Qian's dream, his world suddenly shattered into fragments all over the floor, he fell from the world suddenly shattered, every tiny fragment reflected Gu Jingxi's face.

"Murderer." Gu Jingxi said in the dream, with a cold expression in his eyes that he had never seen before.

yes.Lin Qian was thinking like this in the falling void, feeling the slight warmth in his chest that had been accumulated with great difficulty because of Gu Jingxi, and it dissipated again in his icy eyes.

Lin Qian closed his eyes and smiled bitterly.

Yeah, my dad was the one who actually killed your mom.

How can I stay by your side openly under the banner of protecting you?

Lin Qian avoids Gu Jingxi, and never goes to and from school with him anymore, only occasionally bumping into each other in the corridor of the school, he would just nod his head and say hello.Gu Jingxi was so sensitive that he noticed Lin Qian's strangeness almost immediately, but he didn't ask or say anything after all.Lin Qian often thought, if Gu Jingxi had been willing to ask him a question, he would have confessed all the knots in his heart for so many years, so they could have avoided a lot of detours.

Unfortunately not.

Gu Jingxi just alienated him as quietly as Lin Qian did, and they passed through the most hasty year of high school in an ordinary way, and embarked on two completely different paths since then.

After the college entrance examination, Gu Jingxi was successfully admitted by the Paris high school, and he went to London alone for further studies.When two people left, it was the same day, the same airport, and the flight at a similar time.But they were sitting in two cars, without hugging or saying goodbye, and they were far apart from each other.

Lin Qian thought, after all, Gu Jingxi didn't care about him, otherwise he wouldn't be indifferent to his obvious abnormality.Or maybe he actually knows the truth, and the little care he has given to himself for so many years is just a charity on a whim.It's as if God took pity on Adam's loneliness and took one of his ribs to create Eve for him. Adam was grateful, but God had no sorrow or joy.

How can a person like Gu Jingxi, whose heart seems to be made of ice from birth, expect to warm it up in just ten years?

Lin Qian remembered the first day he met Gu Jingxi, the look in his eyes from afar at the funeral, it was an indifferent look that had been away from the world for a long time.

<<

To Lin Qian, the days without Gu Jingxi are like flowing water passing by without leaving any traces.On the first New Year's Eve in London, Chinatown was crowded with people. Huge red lanterns were hung on every corner of the archway. Everyone who walked by the street had a beaming look on their faces.A child bought a throwing cannon that was only sold in Chinatown on the street, and ran past Lin Qian with laughter and laughter, and suddenly dropped one at his feet, and the splashing orange flame briefly illuminated his straight trouser legs , and suddenly extinguished.

He turned down the coquettish invitation from the department flower of the college, and the New Year's Eve party in the circle of foreign students. On such a night of relatives and friends gathering and family reunion, Lin Qian just wandered aimlessly in Chinatown, meeting with one after another. He passed by his compatriots who were in a foreign country, but who were sincerely enjoying the joy of the New Year's Eve.He looked at the various restaurants carved into the vermilion walls, and the steaming hot pot steam blurred every face in the glass windows.

Until he walked every street in Chinatown, Lin Qian finally opened the door of the bar at the entrance.Probably because Chinese people habitually reunite with their relatives on New Year’s Eve, this usually popular bar didn’t have many people tonight.Lin Qian took off his scarf, walked straight to the bar, smiled at the bartender, and ordered a glass of Tequila Sunrise, which he didn't drink often.This wine is suitable for drinking in summer, but Lin Qian didn't care. He took the glass and found an empty corner of the bar to sit in casually. Looking at the hot and warm liquid, I was a little dazed for a while.

This brightly colored cocktail has a fittingly named Tequila Sunrise, topped with a small bright red cherry, and a thin slice of orange rests firmly in the rim, top to bottom Gradually changing from orange yellow to orange red in turn, people can't help but think of the summer sunrise covered with burning clouds.

In the summer of City C, the sky is often covered with burning clouds.

In summer, the sun is hot, and white chalk dust is floating on the blackboard.

Birds flutter past, and two little teenagers share the same bottle of orange soda on their way home.

Lin Qian took the soda that Gu Jingxi drank to the last few sips more than ten years ago without thinking, and drank the last sip.The soda tasted like Gu Jingxi, it was sweet.

Ten years later, Gu Jingxi disappeared from his side, and Lin Qian drank Tequila Sunrise silently by himself. The rich orange flavor spread from the tip of his tongue, but this time, it was bitter.

The ringing of the phone suddenly interrupted Lin Qian's thoughts. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and the caller ID showed "Xu Li".After Lin Qian went to England, Gu Shenzhi began to slowly entrust him with some underworld affairs. It happened that the Gu family also had some business contacts with the British department.Lin Qian has lived up to expectations and has always done a good job.He has a special status in the Gu family, and Gu Shenzhi has always kept his origins secret to the outside world, only saying that he is his illegitimate son who was away in the early years, and he followed his mother's surname because of his special background.Lin Qian had no objection to Gu Shenzhi's practice of smearing himself rather than disclosing his true identity. He knew that Gu Shenzhi would not harm him, so he must have his own reasons for doing so.

Lin Qian goes to school in the UK on weekdays, and at night and weekends he will replace Gu Shenzhi and some forces stationed in the UK to do some arms business.The local forces in the UK are very tough, sometimes there is a slight disagreement, and there are many people who immediately turn their faces at the negotiating table. Lin Qian lived through this kind of bloody day for three years, and when he returned to China after studying, He has long since turned into a calm, cheerful adult.

It was also during this period that Lin Qian gradually became acquainted with the managers of the four major bases of the Gu family.Wang Wenyan, the person in charge of No. [-] warehouse, is a second-rate clerical worker who can only make money but has no power to restrain chickens. But thanks to such a No. [-] person, the Gu family can make a lot of money in the business field every year; The person in charge of the armory was originally named Li Jin, who disappeared for no reason due to an accident more than ten years ago. Now the arsenal is managed by Wang Meng, the bodyguard and first-level mercenary leader behind the driver on the face of Gu Jiaming; Zhang Hanqin is a genius doctor who loves vacations and never visits in daily life. Fortunately, he is a genius doctor who can rejuvenate, otherwise his attitude would have been discounted by others; the person in charge of No. [-] Prison is Xu Li. Shen Zhi took him to Prison No. [-], and the person he saw was him.

Over the years, Gu Shenzhi gradually handed over the power of the Gu family to Gu Jingxi and Lin Qian, and the four managers were directly managed by Lin Qian and Gu Jingxi according to their respective functions.Wang Wenyan and Zhang Hanqin reported directly to Gu Jingxi, while Lin Qian was Wang Meng's and Xu Li's immediate boss.Wang Meng was born reticent and bored like a gourd, while Xu Li was evaluated by Jing Xi as a "psychological weirdo with first-level disability in living ability".

Xu Li generally doesn't care about anything. The only thing that interests him is studying psychology.He promised Gu Shenzhi to take over Prison No. [-] in the first place, so that he could use these ready-made experimental subjects to carry out some research, and these researches should never be put on the table.Although Xu Li usually made himself look like a slovenly ultimate dead house, he was very reliable on key issues, his interrogation skills were first-rate, and no matter how hard his teeth were, he could pry a hole out.

Normally, Xu Li would not call him directly. If he did, there must be some important news and he needed to be contacted immediately.Lin Qian frowned, nodded to Gu Jingxi indistinctly, turned and went outside the conference room.

"Boss, the Wendy brought back by 'Zijin Mingjun', I found out something else."

"You said."

"In addition to Zhang Guodong, she also listed several men at the same time. The pocket money these people gave her every month was enough to buy a Panamera, but I had someone check her account, and there was no money. "Xu Li's tone of voice, which had never woken up, revealed a rare solemnity, "There are only a few thousand yuan left in her private account, and there are several batches of transfers every month, all of which are transferred to the same account. account number."

Lin Qian slowly stood up straight.The large amount of money transfer doesn't really explain anything. It may be that Wendy has another small private treasury, or it may be that she can't bear the loneliness and has a bad face... But since Xu Li can make this call, it means that Things must not be simple.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Xu Li spoke again.

"I made some effort, and I got some information out of her." He paused, and in the gap for a moment, he could only hear white noise from the microphone, "She has recently become addicted to drugs. The money transferred from that account includes both money for buying drugs and money for investing in drugs.”

"The buying and selling chain of that group has already extended to City C."
