Pirates of Love
Chapter 8 Chapter 8
Xiao Ran lay in bed all night listening to Lin Shiyi's thoughts, and there was only one content, that was "Aji and Xiaobai are together", "Aji and Xiaobai are finally together", "This is considered to be the catch, A Ji's love level has finally improved", "But you see, I was right at the beginning, A Ji really likes boys"...
He tried to find an excuse to escape several times, but without exception, he was dragged back by Lin Shiyi who was in a state of excitement, and the latter even ordered him not to run around casually because the wound was not healed.
In desperation, he had no choice but to keep nodding his head with a smile on his face, but he was silently shouting in his heart: What is there to keep talking about?It's only natural that Aji and Xiaobai are together, okay? !
"Actually, it's not only Ah Ji, Chen Xing also fell in love with the boy, right? You predicted two people at the same time, but both of them came true."
"...Yes, there is also Chen Xing." Mentioning Yin Chen Xing, Lin Shiyi's face immediately sank as if cold water had been poured on his head, and then he couldn't help gnashing his teeth, "But he likes Yu Luo! Yu Luo can only bring him disaster, but Chen Xing desperately wants to jump into the fire pit!"
The scene on the boat that day was still vivid in his mind, and he couldn't figure out why Yin Chenxing was so stubborn to stay with Yu Luo, and he couldn't even listen to the persuasion of his brothers.
No matter what the consequences of doing that are, anyone is very clear, unless they don't want to admit it at all.
Promise, Lie Yan and Dark Society, the three are natural enemies, and have nothing to do with alliances, attachments or manipulations. The underworld is inherently cruel, and there can only be one true king.
If you deviate from the track on this road and get deeper and deeper, it will be even more difficult to return in the future.
Seeing that Lin Shiyi's expression suddenly changed from sunny to cloudy, Xiao Ran quickly persuaded him: "Eleventh, I was just joking, don't worry. Chen Xing will be fine, he is so smart, so he knows it well."
"I've been arrested and sent to the secret society, can I still be okay?" Lin Shiyi gave him an annoyed look, "Yu Luo's heart is darker than his face, what should I do to embarrass Chen Xing?"
Xiao Ran was helpless: "Yu Luo shouldn't be there, I can see his feelings for Chen Xing."
"You can see a P, you are an emotion detector?"
"...I mean it, it's a man's special intuition."
Lin Shiyi raised his hand and slapped him on the head: "Are you going to die? You speak as if I'm not a man! Why can't I see it?"
"..." Xiao Ran knew that when Lin Shiyi lost his temper, he must not try to refute, or he would die even worse, so he decisively changed the subject, "Isn't Ah Ji planning this? It’s saved, but not now, we have to wait for everyone’s vitality to recover before making a long-term plan.”
"Let's take a long-term plan. When the time comes, Yu Luochenxing will have raw and cooked rice. Should we go directly to the full moon wine for their children?"
Xiao Ran wanted to cry because of his daughter-in-law's off-line thinking, so he lay down on the bed and pretended to be dead.
Seeing him protesting silently, Lin Shiyi was even more annoyed, and directly picked up the pillow beside him and slapped him on the face.
Xiao Ran yelled "Oh", "Murder your husband, I'm a wounded man!"
"You hurt your stomach, not your brain." Lin Shiyi lifted the pillow, hummed softly and touched his face, "Here, I'll let you take advantage as compensation."
"...Daughter-in-law, this is obviously you touching me..."
"Damn it, how many times have I said it, don't call me daughter-in-law don't call me daughter-in-law!" Lin Shiyi rushed over to strangle him, "Xiao Ran, I'm warning you, figure out your status!"
Xiao Ran was so tormented that he couldn't laugh or cry, but his eyes still couldn't hide his deep doting. After four years of dating, he was almost used to being bullied by the other party, so he knew very well that the most important thing to resolve Lin Shiyi's anger at this time What a good way.
"Okay, stop making trouble." He turned over, put his arms around Lin Shiyi's waist, leaned over and licked the other's lips ambiguously, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "A moment in spring is worth a thousand gold, Shouldn't we do something?" As he spoke, the other hand began to unbutton Lin Shiyi's chest.
Lin Shiyi blushed slightly, but she reacted quickly, and slapped Xiao Ran's hand away viciously: "Get out, who wants to have a spring festival with you is worth a thousand dollars!" Huya took a bite on the back of his hand, and even bloodstains came out immediately.
"It's not the first time, old couple, why are you so shy?" Xiao Ran blew on the back of his hand distressedly, "It's just so frenzied."
"Insane, right?" Lin Shiyi suddenly sneered maliciously, "Today I'll show you what a real insanity is!" As he spoke, he quickly took off his thin coat, and pulled Xiao Xiao away. Ran's shirt was pressed on, and the movement was smooth and done in one go.
He put one hand next to Xiao Ran's ear, and his slender fingers slowly slid across the outline of Xiao Ran's muscular chest, his delicate eyebrows and eyes were full of provocation.
Xiao Ran was never a person who couldn't control himself, but he found that in front of Lin Shiyi, he would always be easily ignited instantly.
"Eleven." His voice was a little hoarse, "To be honest, haven't you been secretly rehearsing for this moment for a long time?"
"...Fuck me, do you need to practice?!"
Xiao Ran wrapped his left hand around the back of Lin Shiyi's neck, pressed somewhere without a trace, and then took advantage of the moment when Lin Shiyi's whole body was numb, hugged him and quickly changed positions on the bed.
But in the blink of an eye.
"But I think it's better like this." He watched Lin Shiyi's dazed and angry expression, and laughed a little naughty, revealing a pair of deep dimples, "Eleven, I'm afraid you'll experience If you can't control the position above, stop making trouble and be obedient."
The bedside lamp was suddenly turned off, and the room was plunged into darkness.After a while, Lin Shiyi was heard madly saying: "Xiao Ran, you are dead! You wait for me tomorrow...ah..."
Then there was no sound other than an ambiguous chant.
...But at this moment, Chu Ji and Qi Bai, who happened to be eavesdropping, were standing at the door and fell down laughing.
"Ah... Ah Ji, Xiao Ran will be beaten to death tomorrow, right?" Qi Bai covered his mouth and forced himself not to laugh out loud, "Of course, the premise is that he can get out of bed smoothly on the eleventh day tomorrow."
Looking at his crescent-like eyes, Chu Ji raised the corners of his lips narrowly: "If that's the case, Xiao Ran has died countless times in these years, and the two of them feel awkward every day if they don't fight."
"Hey, that's actually pretty good."
"Yes, I also think it's pretty good." Chu Ji grabbed Qi Bai's shoulders and whispered in his ear, "If you like, we can do the same."
Qi Bai coughed lightly, raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Take care of the injury completely, I can consider it."
"Agreed?"
"It's a deal, but now you have to go back to the house and go to sleep obediently."
"Okay, but you have to sleep with me."
"... When did I not sleep with you? Go away!"...
The figures of the two leaned closely together and gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Outside the window, the moonlight is just right, and the night wind is slightly choppy.
On the tenth day when Wuji and the others were stationed in City E, Zhong Li finally parachuted into the scene—and it was while everyone was having dinner.
At that time, Lin Shiyi was fighting with Xiao Ran for chicken legs, Lian Si was serving soup calmly, and Qi Bai was busy trying to refuse Chu Ji's inappropriate request to feed him, and the house was in chaos.
... "I rely on Xiao Ran, can you still do it? The oil is all splashed on me!"
"It's you who insisted on reaching out to me with your chopsticks!"
"Won't you hide?"
"Lin Eleven!"
"Okay, stop arguing." It was Lian Si's voice.
... "Aji, I can do it myself."
"I feed you."
"But I can eat by myself."
"I'll feed you."
"I said no, I'm really fine!"
"Then I have to feed you."
"Okay, stop making trouble." It was still Lian Si's voice.
Zhong Li held the key in his hand and stood where he was, looking at this group of young people who didn't know what medicine they took wrongly with a half-smile, and coughed lightly on purpose for a long time.
The cough fell on everyone's ears very clearly, except for Qi Bai, everyone turned their voices back and looked at the door.
"Sister Zhong Li?" Chu Ji was a little surprised, but still couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, "Why did you come?"
"Let's come and see you." Zhong Li and Lian Si greeted each other, then walked over, and patted Chu Ji on the head naturally, just like a sister treating a younger brother whom she hasn't seen for a long time, stern but transparent With a bit of compassion, "I heard that you were seriously injured, how are you doing now?"
Chu Ji smiled: "It's not a big deal."
Zhong Li nodded, then turned to look at Xiao Ran: "And you, Ran Ran, you are so stupid to be stabbed, has the beauty of your eight-pack abs been destroyed?"
"Haha, Sister Zhong Li, you can ask Eleven about this... Oh!" Lin Shiyi grabbed Xiao Ran's ears before he finished speaking.
Zhong Li was obviously used to this kind of situation, and she ignored Guan Guan directly. She tapped the table twice with her slender fingers, and after thinking for a moment, she focused her attention on Qi Bai.
"Are you Qi Bai?" She stared at him with a smile on her face. Well, Bai Jingxiu looks pretty good, and her crescent eyes look very cute, but there is such an inexplicable sense of mystery—look It's not easy for Aji to restrain this little boy.
Qi Bai glanced at A Ji puzzledly, saw the latter nodded without comment, and then politely extended his right hand: "It's me, Zhong Li...sister, I heard they mentioned you."
Zhong Li glanced at his left arm without showing any trace, combined with what Lian Si reported to him before, he knew it in his heart.
Those who have the courage to fight side by side with the Wuji members and are not afraid of sacrifice are not weak-willed ordinary people. From this point of view, she still recognizes Chu Ji's vision.
"I heard they call you Xiaobai, can I call you that too?"
Qi Bai pursed his lips. Although the woman in front of him was smiling, she had an innate air of arrogance. He had never seen a woman who could perfectly blend the two temperaments of sternness and nobility. The powerful aura that has been tempered by killing makes people dare not look directly at it.
It can be seen that everyone in Wuji's respect for her is not unreasonable.
"can."
Zhong Li nodded in satisfaction: "Ah Ji will ask you to take care of him from now on."
"...It should be."
Chu Ji felt uncomfortable listening to it, and quickly interrupted the strange conversation between the two: "Sister Zhong Li, you came here from City C on purpose, isn't it just to talk about these boring topics?"
"How do you talk?" Zhong Li snorted softly, "Of course I have a business to do, I want to help you save Chen Xing, that worry-free brat."
Xiao Lin and Xiao Lin, who were arguing, turned to this side in surprise when they heard the words, and even Lian Si, who had been drinking soup calmly from the beginning to the end, raised his head.
"Sister Zhong Li, come and help us, what about City C?"
Zhong Li said with a smile: "Of course there are better leaders than me who have gone back."
"...You mean, father has gone back?" Chu Ji asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Do I dare to lie about such a big matter?"
Lin Shiyi excitedly hugged Xiao Ran's shoulders: "Uncle Ning will be fine when he comes back, Jiang is still old and spicy, Zhou Shaoting will definitely not be able to beat him!"
"Saving Chen Xing is inevitable, but how to save is still a problem." Xiao Ran has every reason to believe that if Zhong Li leads them directly to the headquarters of the dark society, the chance of success is still very high, but he has to think about it. As for other aspects, "What if Chen Xing still doesn't want to come back with us?"
Zhong Li raised his eyebrows slightly: "You guys have been tricked like this, how dare he not come back? If he doesn't come back, I'll break his leg!"
"Uh... Sister Zhong Li, Chen Xing can't be blamed for this, the fire on the ship was caused by the civil strife in Lie Yan and the Underworld." Lin Shiyi quickly helped Yin Chen Xing speak well, he knew Zhong Li's resolute character too well, Zhong Li When it comes to breaking a leg, it is definitely executed every minute, and this risk must not be taken, "To put it bluntly, it is the fault of that bastard Zhou Shaoting, you go and destroy him."
"I know Zhou Shaoting, he is scheming and ruthless. To be honest, he is more like a young master of the underworld than A Ji." Zhong Li shook his head, "Let's talk about Chen Xing, isn't he in love with the young master of the underworld? Yes? Yes."
Just now they said they would break their legs, but now they agreed with Yin Chenxing and Luo to be together, and everyone was immediately confused by Zhong Li's intentions.
"Sister Zhong Li, can you explain more clearly?"
Zhong Li looked around at them in disgust: "You don't really think I'm going to break into the headquarters of the secret society, do you? I'm going to negotiate!"
"negotiation?"
Lian Si suddenly seemed to remember something, put down the soup bowl in his hand and looked at Zhong Li: "Sister, what do you mean..."
"Yeah, didn't I mention it to you last time?"
"...Oh, let me explain." Lian Si looked at the bewildered crowd and smiled helplessly, "Because Aji was injured, Sister Zhong Li was entrusted by the master to represent Wuji in negotiating with the Dark Society. If the negotiation is successful , Chen Xing will be released naturally, then the matter between him and Yu Luo will be possible."
Chu Ji frowned: "Why did father suddenly think of negotiating with the secret society? Is it a plan to slow down the army?"
"Maybe it's not a tactic to delay the attack, but...to form an alliance." Zhong Li raised the corners of his lips inscrutablely, "After all, the common enemy of both sides is Lie Yan, and forming an alliance to fight is the best way."
In the underworld, there has never been absolute friends or absolute enemies. From a logical point of view, there is nothing wrong with forming an alliance.
If the dark society becomes Wuji's ally, then the chances of winning against Lie Yan will be much greater in the future.
but……
Qi Bai, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly got up and smiled politely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He went upstairs without looking back, without even looking at Chu Ji.
Chu Ji was stunned for a long while, and suddenly there was a slight coldness in his heart.
Is there something that is slowly getting out of the range that you can control?
The turntable behind him was already spinning, the established trajectory began to distort, and the road ahead became less and less clear.
You know, he has never had the ability to disobey his father's decision.
It was night, Qi Bai was lying on the bed, looking sideways at the dim moonlight outside the window.
The window was not closed tightly, and it was suddenly opened by the wind, and the curtains were rolled up high.It was late autumn at this time, and the temperature in the house suddenly cooled down.
He got up and walked over to try to close the windows tightly. However, neither of the two windows was fixed. If one was closed, the other would inevitably be blown open. He struggled for 5 minutes without success.
Only his right hand can move, and there is no way to close two windows at the same time.
Qi Bai was silent for a long time, and suddenly he punched hard on the window frame.
However, in the next second, he fell back and was dragged into a warm embrace unsuspectingly.
Chu Ji's embrace.
Chu Ji lowered her head and kissed his temples, stepped forward to close the window carefully, then came back, sat on the bed and continued to hug him.
"Xiaobai, next time something like this happens, just call me. Why do you have to stand there for so long?"
Qi Bai was only wearing a thin unlined garment, and it was already chilled by the wind at this moment. He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Aji, am I so useless that I have to bother you with such trivial matters?"
"...What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Ji frowned slightly, "Why are you so useless?"
Qi Bai was silent.
He also thought that losing the function of an arm was nothing. He also thought that he could still do everything as before, but it turned out that he couldn't.
He thought that he had already made a strong enough psychological construction, but in fact, it was a small detail that could easily defeat his newly built self-confidence.
He knew that Chu Ji always felt guilty, so he couldn't and didn't want to mention these thoughts to Chu Ji.Maybe Chu Ji can help him handle all the little things now, so that he doesn't have to be immersed in the shadow of losing his left arm, but what about in the future?What if Chu Ji is no longer by his side?
The man in front of him could not always be his Aji, he was still the young master of Wuji who shouldered a heavy responsibility, his father wanted to form an alliance with the dark society, he had no other choice but to accept it.
And I wanted to find out the cause of the death of my parents. The ring left behind clearly pointed the finger at the dark society. If this is the case, there will inevitably be deviations in their respective positions. The longer it drags on, the harder it will be to end.
All of these are beyond words.
Seeing that Qi Bai had been silent, Chu Ji folded his arms even tighter and hugged him tightly: "Is it cold?"
Qi Bai shook his head in a daze.
"Hey, I'll be here with you tonight, okay?" Chu Ji whispered in his ear very patiently, "Don't be unhappy."
Don't be unhappy, and don't be afraid, I know what you are struggling with, and I understand what you think.
But I don't know how to comfort you.
Xiaobai, am I too stupid?I can face all the killings and blood calmly, but I don't know how to love you well.
Qi Bai raised his head, squinted his eyes and showed a smile: "It's okay, Aji, I'm just talking casually."
Just say it casually, that's all.
Chu Ji sighed, put his hand around his waist, and the two lay down on the bed together, looking at each other.
"Xiaobai, you believe me, even if Wuji and the Dark Society form an alliance, I will find a way to help you find out about that matter."
Qi Bai didn't speak, but wrapped himself tightly with the quilt, and closed his eyes, as if in a gesture of escape.
Chu Ji's heart suddenly ached uncontrollably, such a Qi Bai made him extremely at a loss.
"noob……"
"Aji, don't make things difficult for yourself." Qi Bai said softly, "Of course I hope that the truth about my parents will come to light one day, but I also hope that you will be well, so don't deliberately wrong yourself for me."
Chu Ji bowed his head and kissed him on the forehead: "Idiot, can you stop saying such things? I also hope that you can be well."
We're all going to be fine.
Under the gentle light of light gold, the two people who couldn't fall asleep embraced and lay down, listening to each other's heartbeat quietly.
It's just that no one noticed that on the desk behind him, the screen of Qi Bai's mobile phone lighted up silently, and the unread message of his adoptive father Gu Wei was displayed on it:
Xiaobai, no matter where you are, return to City C within three days.
It was only in the afternoon that Yin Chenxing learned that the Dark Society had negotiated with Wuji, and Yu Luo told him that the negotiation was not just to bring him back, but also to form an alliance between the two to fight against Lie Yan.
"It is an undoubted fact that Lie Yan will attack me, that is, it will be detrimental to the dark society. Therefore, we must seize the opportunity. From the current point of view, the only organization that can compete with Lie Yan is Wuji." Luo's original words.
Yin Chenxing was just silent.
At such a time, it is natural to support the alliance with the overall situation in mind, and he understands this well.
But what about Xiaobai?What will Aji do?
Seeing that he was silent, Yu Luo was about to hug him to comfort him, but suddenly the door was knocked twice gently.
"Master, the master wants to see Mr. Hua."
"...Understood, tell father, we will be there soon." After Yu Luo finished speaking, he looked at Yin Chenxing with some concern, "Chenxing..."
"Your father wants to see me? He must have something to say." Yin Chenxing smiled, "Let's go, don't make him wait."
"I'll accompany you." Yu Luo is well aware of his father's tough personality, and Yin Chenxing is a person who refuses to compromise. He is worried that the two will have unnecessary conflicts.
Yin Chenxing glanced at him and nodded silently.
... However, when he arrived at the conference room of the headquarters, Yu Luo was stopped by his subordinates.
"Master, the master said that only Mr. Hua can go in alone."
"Why?" Yu Luo grabbed Yin Chenxing's hand subconsciously, "I brought Chenxing back, and I have to explain some things to my father."
"Sorry young master, this is the master's order."
Yin Chenxing thought for a moment, then calmly broke away from Yu Luo's tightly clenched fingers, and said in a calm voice, "It's okay, Yu Luo, uncle just wants to talk to me alone, you wait here for me." Luo had no chance to respond, turned around and opened the door and walked in.
The huge conference room was extremely empty, and Yu Luo's father, Yu Jing, was sitting at the end of the long table, looking at Yin Chenxing who came in from a distance, with a stern look on his face.He is still very handsome in his forty years, and he looks like a king tempered by the years, with a sharpness in his calmness, and a sharpness in his eyes that can reach people's hearts.
On his hand, he clearly wore a delicately carved silver ring.
"You are Yin Chenxing?" Unexpectedly, his voice was very strange, as if his vocal cords were damaged, it was low and hoarse, which was completely different from his excellent appearance.
Yin Chenxing stared at him for a while, then nodded politely: "It's me, Uncle Yu."
Yu Jing smiled coldly: "Are all the members of Wuji as considerate as you?" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his right hand quickly, and then a silver light pierced the air like lightning and directed towards Yin Chen The Star Face Gate strikes.
Yin Chenxing never expected that Yu Jing would rise up suddenly, his eyes were stung by the reflected silver light, and as the gust of wind passed by, he instinctively moved to the side, biting the sharp blade firmly interdental.
"...Uncle's concealed weapon technique is really top-notch." He took the blade out from between the teeth and snapped it off with two fingers, "Chen Xing admires it very much."
Yu Jing re-examined him thoughtfully, then nodded slightly: "You are skilled, worthy of Wuji's backbone. It seems that Yu Luo's vision is not bad."
Yin Chenxing looked slightly stagnant.
"You don't have to deny it, I know that Yu Luo likes you." Yu Jing said with unquestionable affirmation in his tone, "It seems that you like him too, right?"
Yin Chenxing was silent for a long time, and slowly raised the corners of his lips: "Uncle specially asked me to come here, is it just to ask about this matter?"
"You are a smart person, you should understand what I really want to ask."
"Uncle is serious, I'm dull, how dare I guess the mind of the elders?" Yin Chenxing played Tai Chi with him calmly, and pushed the question back again, "Uncle may as well just say it, I will definitely listen carefully."
Yu Jing didn't seem to intend to delay with him any longer, Dang even stopped making rounds, and asked straightforwardly: "Then Yin Chenxing, please answer me honestly, if I let you stay in the secret society to assist Yu Luo forever, would you be willing?" ?”
Permanent assistant.
Yin Chenxing frowned: "I would like to hear the details."
"It's very simple. Since you and Yu Luo like each other, I will allow the two of you to be together forever. It doesn't matter even if Yu Luo doesn't marry a wife for the rest of his life, as long as he can guard the foundation of the secret society with peace of mind." Yu Jing smiled confidently. In his opinion, the condition he proposed was completely irresistible to the young man in front of him, "I don't know what kind of future Wuji can give you, but I can guarantee that in the future, the secret society will belong to Yu Luo after all, and you will be with me." Hulot together became his master."
"Oh, why? You must know that I am from Wuji, does uncle really trust me?"
"Actually, that doesn't matter too much. After all, I have already met with the representative of Wuji and had a good conversation. I think Wuji and the Dark Society will form an alliance just around the corner. In this way, it doesn't matter which side you belong to, does it?"
Yin Chenxing smiled lightly when he heard the words, his beautiful eyes were full of mockery.
Does it matter?Then why deliberately make such a request to him?
Even if Wuji and Dark Society have formed an alliance for the time being, what will happen after defeating Lie Yan in the future?Is the dark society willing to share equal shares with Wuji?It's a joke in the world.
Yu Jing wanted to keep him in the secret society because he liked his understanding of Wuji. In other words, Yu Jing wanted to lay a pawn so as to lay a good internal foundation for his future confrontation with Wuji.Anything that allows him and Hu Luo to be together forever is all nonsense. When the so-called pawn loses its function, it also means the end of being destroyed.
He, Yin Chenxing, asked himself if he was not a treacherous villain, and he would not be used so stupidly, otherwise, how could he be worthy of Wuji, and how could he be worthy of his brothers?
"Unfortunately, Uncle Yu, I cannot agree to this request."
"What?" Yu Jing thought he heard it wrong, "You mean, you disagree?"
"Sorry, I swore to myself when I was very young that I will only be loyal to one master in this life. Except Wuji, I will never belong to any organization, including the dark society."
Every word and sentence, categorically.
Anger appeared between Yu Jing's brows, he stared at Yin Chenxing for a long time, and finally nodded slowly with a gloomy expression.
"Okay, then you can go."
Yin Chenxing didn't stay long, turned around and wanted to leave, but heard Yu Jing's voice behind him again.
"Remember Yin Chenxing, you can go back to Wuji now, but the condition is that you will never have any intersection with Yu Luo again, you will only destroy him like this."
Such you will only ruin Yu Luo.
Every choice corresponds to the price that must be paid, and this time is no exception.
Wuji, Yu Luo, can only get one, and the other means there is no room for abandonment.
Yin Chenxing's fingers stayed on the door for a long time, and then slowly clenched it tightly.
This reason, I have long been clear.
So be it.
The door was finally pushed open.
Yu Luo was standing not far away, the restlessness in Junxiu's eyes disappeared the moment he saw Yin Chenxing's figure, and he quickly stepped forward to hold Yin Chenxing's hand.
"Chen Xing, did my father tell you anything?"
Yin Chenxing dodged his hand without a trace, pondered for a while, then raised his head slightly and asked, "Yu Luo, tell me, who is qualified to own the silver ring that is a symbol of power in your secret society?"
Yu Luo was stunned: "Only the owner of the secret society and his heirs have it. How do you know this?"
Yin Chenxing was silent for a long time, then took off his glasses and smiled at him.
The meaning of this smile is hard to bear to think about.
He said, "Hulot, we will never see each other again."
It's not that I haven't tried hard, but in the end I found that the so-called persistence is too weak.
You say you love me, but there is a Milky Way between us, and the waves are raging, completely submerging the last hope left.
We will eventually become enemies. Even if we are not now, we will definitely be against each other in the future. I only pray that there will be a day when I will not hurt you with my own hands.
I'm afraid I'm going to soften my heart.
Aji, don't look for me.
Qi Bai left, and only left these five short words on the paper, without even saying hello or giving a reason.
Chu Ji went crazy and mobilized his men to search the entire city of E, but there was no trace of Qi Bai at all. He didn't understand what was going on.
Wasn't it fine before?I clearly promised to find out the cause of his parents' death for him.
There was no warning, and it was too late for people to make mental preparations. Chu Ji had a very bad feeling that Qi Bai left this time, and maybe he would never return to his side in the future.
This uneasiness gripped his heart firmly, and he, who had always been calm, was almost on the verge of collapse.
Xiao Ran and Lin Shiyi were almost blinded by anxiety, Zhong Li was busy with the alliance with the underworld and had no time to talk to them, and Lian Si usually had an attitude of nothing to do with him, so he could no longer be found in the villa. A person who can think normally.
Fortunately, at this time, Yin Chenxing finally came back.
"A Ji, what happened?" These were his first words.
Chu Ji supported his forehead and leaned half on the sofa. Hearing this, he raised his head and gave him a tired look: "Chen Xing, did Yu Luo make things difficult for you?"
"He won't make things difficult for me, but now Yu Jing has sent me back." Yin Chenxing walked up to him, put his arms around his shoulders, "I'll talk about these things in detail later, you tell me first, What's wrong, Xiaobai?"
"He left and didn't tell me where he was going." Chu Ji shook his head emotionally, "His left arm has become like that. If he doesn't take good care of it, why must he run away? It's just nonsense!"
"...What happened to Xiaobai's left arm?"
Chu Ji buried his face between his knees, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's useless, it won't be used anymore."
Yin Chenxing was stunned suddenly.
That's right, at that time Aji was on the boat for himself, and Xiaobai had to be with Aji as a matter of course. If not, they would not be in danger, and Xiaobai didn't have to block that knife for Aji.
After all, it turned out that Xiaobai had indirectly disabled his left arm because of himself.
I thought I was helping, but I didn't think about it, but it brought disaster to Xiaobai.
"Aji, I'm sorry."
Chu Ji sighed: "I can't blame you, I'm sorry for him."
"The most urgent thing is to find Xiaobai first." Yin Chenxing was silent for a long time, and slowly clenched his fingers, "He probably came to C City, did you send someone to check?"
"How could I not have checked? The staff of C City have already replied, saying that someone has gone to C University to handle the withdrawal procedures for him before this."
Yin Chenxing said in surprise: "Exit procedures? Who has the qualifications to make the decision to drop out for Xiaobai?"
"There is only one possibility, and that is his adoptive father."
Yin Chenxing paused for a while, but did not respond. He thought that he already understood what Chu Ji meant.
It seems that Qi Bai's disappearance has something to do with his adoptive father. Most importantly, his adoptive father is a policeman.
Since he was determined to let Qi Bai drop out of school, it is obvious that this adoptive father must know something, and the information he got must have something about the three major forces.
I hope he just wanted to protect Qi Bai through this method, not... Yin Chenxing suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"I also sent someone to look for Xiaobai's residence, but he is not there." Chu Ji let out a long breath suddenly, looked up at Yin Chenxing, "Chenxing, I have been thinking, if Xiaobai really went Looking for his adoptive father, so is it... more dangerous than being with us?"
If his adoptive father knew the real cause of his parents' death, he would probably take this opportunity to tell Qi Bai the whole story. Perhaps what awaited Qi Bai would be to be completely involved in the disputes of the underworld.
Yin Chenxing looked a little hesitant: "Ah Ji, I saw that silver ring on Yu Jing's hand."
"……you saw it?"
"Yes." Yin Chenxing said in a deep voice, "I asked Yu Luo, and he said that only the master of the secret society and his heirs can have this kind of ring."
The master of the Dark Society, and his heirs.
So what about Qi Bai's parents?
Chu Ji fell into deep thought for a long time.
Is there something that is getting closer?Are there some answers that are ready to come out.
He didn't worry about anything else, he was only afraid that the so-called truth would hurt his beloved.
I hope everything is an illusion, I hope everything is not as cruel as imagined.
No matter what, he wanted to get his Xiaobai back.
Qi Bai did not return to his residence in City C, he is currently in the house rented by his adoptive father's biological daughter, Gu Qi.
The adoptive father, Gu Wei, divorced his ex-wife very early. A pair of daughters, Gu Qi and Gu Chen, both lived abroad with his ex-wife all year round. Gu Qi was 24 years old and Gu Chen was 22 years old. Both of them had just graduated from the police academy. Generally, she can only see her daughter when she is on mission abroad.
But now he has brought back both daughters, so it cannot be said that it is not a rare thing.
It was night, Qi Bai was sitting on the sofa with his head down, facing his adoptive father and two sisters who had never met, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was a little depressed for a while.
"...Qi Bai." After a long while, Gu Wei said in a low voice, "Why did you get involved with Wuji and make yourself like this?"
"I'm sorry, father."
Gu Wei sighed deeply: "Don't tell me I'm sorry, I failed your father's entrustment and didn't take good care of you."
"It's not like that." Qi Bai's eyebrows showed a little apology, and he replied in a low voice, "I just want to..." He stopped abruptly in mid-sentence.
However, Gu Wei saw from Qi Bai's eyes what he had been worried about all along. He knew that he still didn't understand this adopted son well enough, and he also understood that there were some things that he couldn't hide.
But isn't this the purpose of my return this time?The truth that should be told cannot be kept hidden forever, it will do no one any good.What's more, Qi Bai is already 20 years old, so the so-called time has come.
"Qi Bai, tell me, do you want to find out about your parents?"
Qi Bai pressed his lower lip uneasily: "Yes, because I have seen father's relics before."
Gu Wei's eyes dimmed slightly, that's why.
"This matter cannot be resolved by you alone. You don't know how complicated the relationship is."
"That's not important." Unexpectedly, Qi Bai's answer was firm, "I just want to know the answer."
I just want to give an explanation to the nightmare that plagued me day and night, I just want an answer, I just want to know why.
Gu Wei took out the silver ring left in the relic from his bosom, and put it in front of Qi Bai: "This should be yours."
"This is the token of the dark society."
"That's right, it's the token of the secret society." Gu Wei nodded, "Moreover, this is a token that only the master of the secret society and his prospective heirs are eligible to wear."
Qi Bai was startled.
"Qi Bai, this ring belongs to your mother. She is actually the biological daughter of the former Lord of the Dark Society, and also the younger sister of the current Lord of the Dark Society. Her name is Yu Cheng."
These words exploded in Qi Bai's mind like a thunderbolt, and he instinctively grabbed the ring tightly.
That is to say...that is to say...
His mother turned out to be the eldest lady of the underworld, she was Yu Luo's aunt, and Yu Luo was actually his cousin.
Are you kidding him?
However, Gu Wei obviously hasn't finished talking yet.
"Your father, that is, Qi Han, was arranged by the organization to work as an undercover agent in a secret society, but unexpectedly he fell in love with Yu Cheng. Later, when his identity was exposed, Yu Cheng took great pains to give up everything in the family and escape with him. Out of the secret society."
Love will always make people blind, no matter how sensible people will be confused one day.
"Qi Han was dismissed for probation because of this. Yu Cheng was already pregnant at that time, and the organization was going to send her to court after she gave birth. Qi Han's requests to the organization were rejected more than once, but Yu Cheng knew about it. Unexpectedly, she didn't say anything. Who would have thought that she would leave City C and return to the secret society headquarters the day after giving birth? According to legend, she was shot and killed by her brother Yu Jing himself, and The secret society owner did not express any objection."
In all fairness, Yu Cheng is not a pure and kind girl. As the eldest lady of the underworld, she has blood from countless people on her hands. She values self-esteem and pride more than anything else, so she would rather die at the hands of her own family than Unwilling to accept Bai Dao's sanctions.
She only did one wrong thing in her life, and that was falling in love with Qi Han. Similarly, the only wrong thing Qi Han did was falling in love with her.
But both of them miraculously never regretted it.
"Five years later, the white forces attacked the underworld again, intending to find a breakthrough for the underworld forces from the underworld. Qi Han took the initiative to ask to go and obtained permission." Gu Wei's tone gradually slowed down, as if he was trying to recall the past. Situation, "Your father...he told me that even if he never comes back this time, he will at least kill Yu Jing with his own hands."
After that, Qi Han really didn't come back, even though he couldn't kill Yu Jing in the end.
He tried to find an excuse to escape several times, but without exception, he was dragged back by Lin Shiyi who was in a state of excitement, and the latter even ordered him not to run around casually because the wound was not healed.
In desperation, he had no choice but to keep nodding his head with a smile on his face, but he was silently shouting in his heart: What is there to keep talking about?It's only natural that Aji and Xiaobai are together, okay? !
"Actually, it's not only Ah Ji, Chen Xing also fell in love with the boy, right? You predicted two people at the same time, but both of them came true."
"...Yes, there is also Chen Xing." Mentioning Yin Chen Xing, Lin Shiyi's face immediately sank as if cold water had been poured on his head, and then he couldn't help gnashing his teeth, "But he likes Yu Luo! Yu Luo can only bring him disaster, but Chen Xing desperately wants to jump into the fire pit!"
The scene on the boat that day was still vivid in his mind, and he couldn't figure out why Yin Chenxing was so stubborn to stay with Yu Luo, and he couldn't even listen to the persuasion of his brothers.
No matter what the consequences of doing that are, anyone is very clear, unless they don't want to admit it at all.
Promise, Lie Yan and Dark Society, the three are natural enemies, and have nothing to do with alliances, attachments or manipulations. The underworld is inherently cruel, and there can only be one true king.
If you deviate from the track on this road and get deeper and deeper, it will be even more difficult to return in the future.
Seeing that Lin Shiyi's expression suddenly changed from sunny to cloudy, Xiao Ran quickly persuaded him: "Eleventh, I was just joking, don't worry. Chen Xing will be fine, he is so smart, so he knows it well."
"I've been arrested and sent to the secret society, can I still be okay?" Lin Shiyi gave him an annoyed look, "Yu Luo's heart is darker than his face, what should I do to embarrass Chen Xing?"
Xiao Ran was helpless: "Yu Luo shouldn't be there, I can see his feelings for Chen Xing."
"You can see a P, you are an emotion detector?"
"...I mean it, it's a man's special intuition."
Lin Shiyi raised his hand and slapped him on the head: "Are you going to die? You speak as if I'm not a man! Why can't I see it?"
"..." Xiao Ran knew that when Lin Shiyi lost his temper, he must not try to refute, or he would die even worse, so he decisively changed the subject, "Isn't Ah Ji planning this? It’s saved, but not now, we have to wait for everyone’s vitality to recover before making a long-term plan.”
"Let's take a long-term plan. When the time comes, Yu Luochenxing will have raw and cooked rice. Should we go directly to the full moon wine for their children?"
Xiao Ran wanted to cry because of his daughter-in-law's off-line thinking, so he lay down on the bed and pretended to be dead.
Seeing him protesting silently, Lin Shiyi was even more annoyed, and directly picked up the pillow beside him and slapped him on the face.
Xiao Ran yelled "Oh", "Murder your husband, I'm a wounded man!"
"You hurt your stomach, not your brain." Lin Shiyi lifted the pillow, hummed softly and touched his face, "Here, I'll let you take advantage as compensation."
"...Daughter-in-law, this is obviously you touching me..."
"Damn it, how many times have I said it, don't call me daughter-in-law don't call me daughter-in-law!" Lin Shiyi rushed over to strangle him, "Xiao Ran, I'm warning you, figure out your status!"
Xiao Ran was so tormented that he couldn't laugh or cry, but his eyes still couldn't hide his deep doting. After four years of dating, he was almost used to being bullied by the other party, so he knew very well that the most important thing to resolve Lin Shiyi's anger at this time What a good way.
"Okay, stop making trouble." He turned over, put his arms around Lin Shiyi's waist, leaned over and licked the other's lips ambiguously, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "A moment in spring is worth a thousand gold, Shouldn't we do something?" As he spoke, the other hand began to unbutton Lin Shiyi's chest.
Lin Shiyi blushed slightly, but she reacted quickly, and slapped Xiao Ran's hand away viciously: "Get out, who wants to have a spring festival with you is worth a thousand dollars!" Huya took a bite on the back of his hand, and even bloodstains came out immediately.
"It's not the first time, old couple, why are you so shy?" Xiao Ran blew on the back of his hand distressedly, "It's just so frenzied."
"Insane, right?" Lin Shiyi suddenly sneered maliciously, "Today I'll show you what a real insanity is!" As he spoke, he quickly took off his thin coat, and pulled Xiao Xiao away. Ran's shirt was pressed on, and the movement was smooth and done in one go.
He put one hand next to Xiao Ran's ear, and his slender fingers slowly slid across the outline of Xiao Ran's muscular chest, his delicate eyebrows and eyes were full of provocation.
Xiao Ran was never a person who couldn't control himself, but he found that in front of Lin Shiyi, he would always be easily ignited instantly.
"Eleven." His voice was a little hoarse, "To be honest, haven't you been secretly rehearsing for this moment for a long time?"
"...Fuck me, do you need to practice?!"
Xiao Ran wrapped his left hand around the back of Lin Shiyi's neck, pressed somewhere without a trace, and then took advantage of the moment when Lin Shiyi's whole body was numb, hugged him and quickly changed positions on the bed.
But in the blink of an eye.
"But I think it's better like this." He watched Lin Shiyi's dazed and angry expression, and laughed a little naughty, revealing a pair of deep dimples, "Eleven, I'm afraid you'll experience If you can't control the position above, stop making trouble and be obedient."
The bedside lamp was suddenly turned off, and the room was plunged into darkness.After a while, Lin Shiyi was heard madly saying: "Xiao Ran, you are dead! You wait for me tomorrow...ah..."
Then there was no sound other than an ambiguous chant.
...But at this moment, Chu Ji and Qi Bai, who happened to be eavesdropping, were standing at the door and fell down laughing.
"Ah... Ah Ji, Xiao Ran will be beaten to death tomorrow, right?" Qi Bai covered his mouth and forced himself not to laugh out loud, "Of course, the premise is that he can get out of bed smoothly on the eleventh day tomorrow."
Looking at his crescent-like eyes, Chu Ji raised the corners of his lips narrowly: "If that's the case, Xiao Ran has died countless times in these years, and the two of them feel awkward every day if they don't fight."
"Hey, that's actually pretty good."
"Yes, I also think it's pretty good." Chu Ji grabbed Qi Bai's shoulders and whispered in his ear, "If you like, we can do the same."
Qi Bai coughed lightly, raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Take care of the injury completely, I can consider it."
"Agreed?"
"It's a deal, but now you have to go back to the house and go to sleep obediently."
"Okay, but you have to sleep with me."
"... When did I not sleep with you? Go away!"...
The figures of the two leaned closely together and gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Outside the window, the moonlight is just right, and the night wind is slightly choppy.
On the tenth day when Wuji and the others were stationed in City E, Zhong Li finally parachuted into the scene—and it was while everyone was having dinner.
At that time, Lin Shiyi was fighting with Xiao Ran for chicken legs, Lian Si was serving soup calmly, and Qi Bai was busy trying to refuse Chu Ji's inappropriate request to feed him, and the house was in chaos.
... "I rely on Xiao Ran, can you still do it? The oil is all splashed on me!"
"It's you who insisted on reaching out to me with your chopsticks!"
"Won't you hide?"
"Lin Eleven!"
"Okay, stop arguing." It was Lian Si's voice.
... "Aji, I can do it myself."
"I feed you."
"But I can eat by myself."
"I'll feed you."
"I said no, I'm really fine!"
"Then I have to feed you."
"Okay, stop making trouble." It was still Lian Si's voice.
Zhong Li held the key in his hand and stood where he was, looking at this group of young people who didn't know what medicine they took wrongly with a half-smile, and coughed lightly on purpose for a long time.
The cough fell on everyone's ears very clearly, except for Qi Bai, everyone turned their voices back and looked at the door.
"Sister Zhong Li?" Chu Ji was a little surprised, but still couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, "Why did you come?"
"Let's come and see you." Zhong Li and Lian Si greeted each other, then walked over, and patted Chu Ji on the head naturally, just like a sister treating a younger brother whom she hasn't seen for a long time, stern but transparent With a bit of compassion, "I heard that you were seriously injured, how are you doing now?"
Chu Ji smiled: "It's not a big deal."
Zhong Li nodded, then turned to look at Xiao Ran: "And you, Ran Ran, you are so stupid to be stabbed, has the beauty of your eight-pack abs been destroyed?"
"Haha, Sister Zhong Li, you can ask Eleven about this... Oh!" Lin Shiyi grabbed Xiao Ran's ears before he finished speaking.
Zhong Li was obviously used to this kind of situation, and she ignored Guan Guan directly. She tapped the table twice with her slender fingers, and after thinking for a moment, she focused her attention on Qi Bai.
"Are you Qi Bai?" She stared at him with a smile on her face. Well, Bai Jingxiu looks pretty good, and her crescent eyes look very cute, but there is such an inexplicable sense of mystery—look It's not easy for Aji to restrain this little boy.
Qi Bai glanced at A Ji puzzledly, saw the latter nodded without comment, and then politely extended his right hand: "It's me, Zhong Li...sister, I heard they mentioned you."
Zhong Li glanced at his left arm without showing any trace, combined with what Lian Si reported to him before, he knew it in his heart.
Those who have the courage to fight side by side with the Wuji members and are not afraid of sacrifice are not weak-willed ordinary people. From this point of view, she still recognizes Chu Ji's vision.
"I heard they call you Xiaobai, can I call you that too?"
Qi Bai pursed his lips. Although the woman in front of him was smiling, she had an innate air of arrogance. He had never seen a woman who could perfectly blend the two temperaments of sternness and nobility. The powerful aura that has been tempered by killing makes people dare not look directly at it.
It can be seen that everyone in Wuji's respect for her is not unreasonable.
"can."
Zhong Li nodded in satisfaction: "Ah Ji will ask you to take care of him from now on."
"...It should be."
Chu Ji felt uncomfortable listening to it, and quickly interrupted the strange conversation between the two: "Sister Zhong Li, you came here from City C on purpose, isn't it just to talk about these boring topics?"
"How do you talk?" Zhong Li snorted softly, "Of course I have a business to do, I want to help you save Chen Xing, that worry-free brat."
Xiao Lin and Xiao Lin, who were arguing, turned to this side in surprise when they heard the words, and even Lian Si, who had been drinking soup calmly from the beginning to the end, raised his head.
"Sister Zhong Li, come and help us, what about City C?"
Zhong Li said with a smile: "Of course there are better leaders than me who have gone back."
"...You mean, father has gone back?" Chu Ji asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Do I dare to lie about such a big matter?"
Lin Shiyi excitedly hugged Xiao Ran's shoulders: "Uncle Ning will be fine when he comes back, Jiang is still old and spicy, Zhou Shaoting will definitely not be able to beat him!"
"Saving Chen Xing is inevitable, but how to save is still a problem." Xiao Ran has every reason to believe that if Zhong Li leads them directly to the headquarters of the dark society, the chance of success is still very high, but he has to think about it. As for other aspects, "What if Chen Xing still doesn't want to come back with us?"
Zhong Li raised his eyebrows slightly: "You guys have been tricked like this, how dare he not come back? If he doesn't come back, I'll break his leg!"
"Uh... Sister Zhong Li, Chen Xing can't be blamed for this, the fire on the ship was caused by the civil strife in Lie Yan and the Underworld." Lin Shiyi quickly helped Yin Chen Xing speak well, he knew Zhong Li's resolute character too well, Zhong Li When it comes to breaking a leg, it is definitely executed every minute, and this risk must not be taken, "To put it bluntly, it is the fault of that bastard Zhou Shaoting, you go and destroy him."
"I know Zhou Shaoting, he is scheming and ruthless. To be honest, he is more like a young master of the underworld than A Ji." Zhong Li shook his head, "Let's talk about Chen Xing, isn't he in love with the young master of the underworld? Yes? Yes."
Just now they said they would break their legs, but now they agreed with Yin Chenxing and Luo to be together, and everyone was immediately confused by Zhong Li's intentions.
"Sister Zhong Li, can you explain more clearly?"
Zhong Li looked around at them in disgust: "You don't really think I'm going to break into the headquarters of the secret society, do you? I'm going to negotiate!"
"negotiation?"
Lian Si suddenly seemed to remember something, put down the soup bowl in his hand and looked at Zhong Li: "Sister, what do you mean..."
"Yeah, didn't I mention it to you last time?"
"...Oh, let me explain." Lian Si looked at the bewildered crowd and smiled helplessly, "Because Aji was injured, Sister Zhong Li was entrusted by the master to represent Wuji in negotiating with the Dark Society. If the negotiation is successful , Chen Xing will be released naturally, then the matter between him and Yu Luo will be possible."
Chu Ji frowned: "Why did father suddenly think of negotiating with the secret society? Is it a plan to slow down the army?"
"Maybe it's not a tactic to delay the attack, but...to form an alliance." Zhong Li raised the corners of his lips inscrutablely, "After all, the common enemy of both sides is Lie Yan, and forming an alliance to fight is the best way."
In the underworld, there has never been absolute friends or absolute enemies. From a logical point of view, there is nothing wrong with forming an alliance.
If the dark society becomes Wuji's ally, then the chances of winning against Lie Yan will be much greater in the future.
but……
Qi Bai, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly got up and smiled politely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He went upstairs without looking back, without even looking at Chu Ji.
Chu Ji was stunned for a long while, and suddenly there was a slight coldness in his heart.
Is there something that is slowly getting out of the range that you can control?
The turntable behind him was already spinning, the established trajectory began to distort, and the road ahead became less and less clear.
You know, he has never had the ability to disobey his father's decision.
It was night, Qi Bai was lying on the bed, looking sideways at the dim moonlight outside the window.
The window was not closed tightly, and it was suddenly opened by the wind, and the curtains were rolled up high.It was late autumn at this time, and the temperature in the house suddenly cooled down.
He got up and walked over to try to close the windows tightly. However, neither of the two windows was fixed. If one was closed, the other would inevitably be blown open. He struggled for 5 minutes without success.
Only his right hand can move, and there is no way to close two windows at the same time.
Qi Bai was silent for a long time, and suddenly he punched hard on the window frame.
However, in the next second, he fell back and was dragged into a warm embrace unsuspectingly.
Chu Ji's embrace.
Chu Ji lowered her head and kissed his temples, stepped forward to close the window carefully, then came back, sat on the bed and continued to hug him.
"Xiaobai, next time something like this happens, just call me. Why do you have to stand there for so long?"
Qi Bai was only wearing a thin unlined garment, and it was already chilled by the wind at this moment. He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Aji, am I so useless that I have to bother you with such trivial matters?"
"...What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Ji frowned slightly, "Why are you so useless?"
Qi Bai was silent.
He also thought that losing the function of an arm was nothing. He also thought that he could still do everything as before, but it turned out that he couldn't.
He thought that he had already made a strong enough psychological construction, but in fact, it was a small detail that could easily defeat his newly built self-confidence.
He knew that Chu Ji always felt guilty, so he couldn't and didn't want to mention these thoughts to Chu Ji.Maybe Chu Ji can help him handle all the little things now, so that he doesn't have to be immersed in the shadow of losing his left arm, but what about in the future?What if Chu Ji is no longer by his side?
The man in front of him could not always be his Aji, he was still the young master of Wuji who shouldered a heavy responsibility, his father wanted to form an alliance with the dark society, he had no other choice but to accept it.
And I wanted to find out the cause of the death of my parents. The ring left behind clearly pointed the finger at the dark society. If this is the case, there will inevitably be deviations in their respective positions. The longer it drags on, the harder it will be to end.
All of these are beyond words.
Seeing that Qi Bai had been silent, Chu Ji folded his arms even tighter and hugged him tightly: "Is it cold?"
Qi Bai shook his head in a daze.
"Hey, I'll be here with you tonight, okay?" Chu Ji whispered in his ear very patiently, "Don't be unhappy."
Don't be unhappy, and don't be afraid, I know what you are struggling with, and I understand what you think.
But I don't know how to comfort you.
Xiaobai, am I too stupid?I can face all the killings and blood calmly, but I don't know how to love you well.
Qi Bai raised his head, squinted his eyes and showed a smile: "It's okay, Aji, I'm just talking casually."
Just say it casually, that's all.
Chu Ji sighed, put his hand around his waist, and the two lay down on the bed together, looking at each other.
"Xiaobai, you believe me, even if Wuji and the Dark Society form an alliance, I will find a way to help you find out about that matter."
Qi Bai didn't speak, but wrapped himself tightly with the quilt, and closed his eyes, as if in a gesture of escape.
Chu Ji's heart suddenly ached uncontrollably, such a Qi Bai made him extremely at a loss.
"noob……"
"Aji, don't make things difficult for yourself." Qi Bai said softly, "Of course I hope that the truth about my parents will come to light one day, but I also hope that you will be well, so don't deliberately wrong yourself for me."
Chu Ji bowed his head and kissed him on the forehead: "Idiot, can you stop saying such things? I also hope that you can be well."
We're all going to be fine.
Under the gentle light of light gold, the two people who couldn't fall asleep embraced and lay down, listening to each other's heartbeat quietly.
It's just that no one noticed that on the desk behind him, the screen of Qi Bai's mobile phone lighted up silently, and the unread message of his adoptive father Gu Wei was displayed on it:
Xiaobai, no matter where you are, return to City C within three days.
It was only in the afternoon that Yin Chenxing learned that the Dark Society had negotiated with Wuji, and Yu Luo told him that the negotiation was not just to bring him back, but also to form an alliance between the two to fight against Lie Yan.
"It is an undoubted fact that Lie Yan will attack me, that is, it will be detrimental to the dark society. Therefore, we must seize the opportunity. From the current point of view, the only organization that can compete with Lie Yan is Wuji." Luo's original words.
Yin Chenxing was just silent.
At such a time, it is natural to support the alliance with the overall situation in mind, and he understands this well.
But what about Xiaobai?What will Aji do?
Seeing that he was silent, Yu Luo was about to hug him to comfort him, but suddenly the door was knocked twice gently.
"Master, the master wants to see Mr. Hua."
"...Understood, tell father, we will be there soon." After Yu Luo finished speaking, he looked at Yin Chenxing with some concern, "Chenxing..."
"Your father wants to see me? He must have something to say." Yin Chenxing smiled, "Let's go, don't make him wait."
"I'll accompany you." Yu Luo is well aware of his father's tough personality, and Yin Chenxing is a person who refuses to compromise. He is worried that the two will have unnecessary conflicts.
Yin Chenxing glanced at him and nodded silently.
... However, when he arrived at the conference room of the headquarters, Yu Luo was stopped by his subordinates.
"Master, the master said that only Mr. Hua can go in alone."
"Why?" Yu Luo grabbed Yin Chenxing's hand subconsciously, "I brought Chenxing back, and I have to explain some things to my father."
"Sorry young master, this is the master's order."
Yin Chenxing thought for a moment, then calmly broke away from Yu Luo's tightly clenched fingers, and said in a calm voice, "It's okay, Yu Luo, uncle just wants to talk to me alone, you wait here for me." Luo had no chance to respond, turned around and opened the door and walked in.
The huge conference room was extremely empty, and Yu Luo's father, Yu Jing, was sitting at the end of the long table, looking at Yin Chenxing who came in from a distance, with a stern look on his face.He is still very handsome in his forty years, and he looks like a king tempered by the years, with a sharpness in his calmness, and a sharpness in his eyes that can reach people's hearts.
On his hand, he clearly wore a delicately carved silver ring.
"You are Yin Chenxing?" Unexpectedly, his voice was very strange, as if his vocal cords were damaged, it was low and hoarse, which was completely different from his excellent appearance.
Yin Chenxing stared at him for a while, then nodded politely: "It's me, Uncle Yu."
Yu Jing smiled coldly: "Are all the members of Wuji as considerate as you?" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his right hand quickly, and then a silver light pierced the air like lightning and directed towards Yin Chen The Star Face Gate strikes.
Yin Chenxing never expected that Yu Jing would rise up suddenly, his eyes were stung by the reflected silver light, and as the gust of wind passed by, he instinctively moved to the side, biting the sharp blade firmly interdental.
"...Uncle's concealed weapon technique is really top-notch." He took the blade out from between the teeth and snapped it off with two fingers, "Chen Xing admires it very much."
Yu Jing re-examined him thoughtfully, then nodded slightly: "You are skilled, worthy of Wuji's backbone. It seems that Yu Luo's vision is not bad."
Yin Chenxing looked slightly stagnant.
"You don't have to deny it, I know that Yu Luo likes you." Yu Jing said with unquestionable affirmation in his tone, "It seems that you like him too, right?"
Yin Chenxing was silent for a long time, and slowly raised the corners of his lips: "Uncle specially asked me to come here, is it just to ask about this matter?"
"You are a smart person, you should understand what I really want to ask."
"Uncle is serious, I'm dull, how dare I guess the mind of the elders?" Yin Chenxing played Tai Chi with him calmly, and pushed the question back again, "Uncle may as well just say it, I will definitely listen carefully."
Yu Jing didn't seem to intend to delay with him any longer, Dang even stopped making rounds, and asked straightforwardly: "Then Yin Chenxing, please answer me honestly, if I let you stay in the secret society to assist Yu Luo forever, would you be willing?" ?”
Permanent assistant.
Yin Chenxing frowned: "I would like to hear the details."
"It's very simple. Since you and Yu Luo like each other, I will allow the two of you to be together forever. It doesn't matter even if Yu Luo doesn't marry a wife for the rest of his life, as long as he can guard the foundation of the secret society with peace of mind." Yu Jing smiled confidently. In his opinion, the condition he proposed was completely irresistible to the young man in front of him, "I don't know what kind of future Wuji can give you, but I can guarantee that in the future, the secret society will belong to Yu Luo after all, and you will be with me." Hulot together became his master."
"Oh, why? You must know that I am from Wuji, does uncle really trust me?"
"Actually, that doesn't matter too much. After all, I have already met with the representative of Wuji and had a good conversation. I think Wuji and the Dark Society will form an alliance just around the corner. In this way, it doesn't matter which side you belong to, does it?"
Yin Chenxing smiled lightly when he heard the words, his beautiful eyes were full of mockery.
Does it matter?Then why deliberately make such a request to him?
Even if Wuji and Dark Society have formed an alliance for the time being, what will happen after defeating Lie Yan in the future?Is the dark society willing to share equal shares with Wuji?It's a joke in the world.
Yu Jing wanted to keep him in the secret society because he liked his understanding of Wuji. In other words, Yu Jing wanted to lay a pawn so as to lay a good internal foundation for his future confrontation with Wuji.Anything that allows him and Hu Luo to be together forever is all nonsense. When the so-called pawn loses its function, it also means the end of being destroyed.
He, Yin Chenxing, asked himself if he was not a treacherous villain, and he would not be used so stupidly, otherwise, how could he be worthy of Wuji, and how could he be worthy of his brothers?
"Unfortunately, Uncle Yu, I cannot agree to this request."
"What?" Yu Jing thought he heard it wrong, "You mean, you disagree?"
"Sorry, I swore to myself when I was very young that I will only be loyal to one master in this life. Except Wuji, I will never belong to any organization, including the dark society."
Every word and sentence, categorically.
Anger appeared between Yu Jing's brows, he stared at Yin Chenxing for a long time, and finally nodded slowly with a gloomy expression.
"Okay, then you can go."
Yin Chenxing didn't stay long, turned around and wanted to leave, but heard Yu Jing's voice behind him again.
"Remember Yin Chenxing, you can go back to Wuji now, but the condition is that you will never have any intersection with Yu Luo again, you will only destroy him like this."
Such you will only ruin Yu Luo.
Every choice corresponds to the price that must be paid, and this time is no exception.
Wuji, Yu Luo, can only get one, and the other means there is no room for abandonment.
Yin Chenxing's fingers stayed on the door for a long time, and then slowly clenched it tightly.
This reason, I have long been clear.
So be it.
The door was finally pushed open.
Yu Luo was standing not far away, the restlessness in Junxiu's eyes disappeared the moment he saw Yin Chenxing's figure, and he quickly stepped forward to hold Yin Chenxing's hand.
"Chen Xing, did my father tell you anything?"
Yin Chenxing dodged his hand without a trace, pondered for a while, then raised his head slightly and asked, "Yu Luo, tell me, who is qualified to own the silver ring that is a symbol of power in your secret society?"
Yu Luo was stunned: "Only the owner of the secret society and his heirs have it. How do you know this?"
Yin Chenxing was silent for a long time, then took off his glasses and smiled at him.
The meaning of this smile is hard to bear to think about.
He said, "Hulot, we will never see each other again."
It's not that I haven't tried hard, but in the end I found that the so-called persistence is too weak.
You say you love me, but there is a Milky Way between us, and the waves are raging, completely submerging the last hope left.
We will eventually become enemies. Even if we are not now, we will definitely be against each other in the future. I only pray that there will be a day when I will not hurt you with my own hands.
I'm afraid I'm going to soften my heart.
Aji, don't look for me.
Qi Bai left, and only left these five short words on the paper, without even saying hello or giving a reason.
Chu Ji went crazy and mobilized his men to search the entire city of E, but there was no trace of Qi Bai at all. He didn't understand what was going on.
Wasn't it fine before?I clearly promised to find out the cause of his parents' death for him.
There was no warning, and it was too late for people to make mental preparations. Chu Ji had a very bad feeling that Qi Bai left this time, and maybe he would never return to his side in the future.
This uneasiness gripped his heart firmly, and he, who had always been calm, was almost on the verge of collapse.
Xiao Ran and Lin Shiyi were almost blinded by anxiety, Zhong Li was busy with the alliance with the underworld and had no time to talk to them, and Lian Si usually had an attitude of nothing to do with him, so he could no longer be found in the villa. A person who can think normally.
Fortunately, at this time, Yin Chenxing finally came back.
"A Ji, what happened?" These were his first words.
Chu Ji supported his forehead and leaned half on the sofa. Hearing this, he raised his head and gave him a tired look: "Chen Xing, did Yu Luo make things difficult for you?"
"He won't make things difficult for me, but now Yu Jing has sent me back." Yin Chenxing walked up to him, put his arms around his shoulders, "I'll talk about these things in detail later, you tell me first, What's wrong, Xiaobai?"
"He left and didn't tell me where he was going." Chu Ji shook his head emotionally, "His left arm has become like that. If he doesn't take good care of it, why must he run away? It's just nonsense!"
"...What happened to Xiaobai's left arm?"
Chu Ji buried his face between his knees, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's useless, it won't be used anymore."
Yin Chenxing was stunned suddenly.
That's right, at that time Aji was on the boat for himself, and Xiaobai had to be with Aji as a matter of course. If not, they would not be in danger, and Xiaobai didn't have to block that knife for Aji.
After all, it turned out that Xiaobai had indirectly disabled his left arm because of himself.
I thought I was helping, but I didn't think about it, but it brought disaster to Xiaobai.
"Aji, I'm sorry."
Chu Ji sighed: "I can't blame you, I'm sorry for him."
"The most urgent thing is to find Xiaobai first." Yin Chenxing was silent for a long time, and slowly clenched his fingers, "He probably came to C City, did you send someone to check?"
"How could I not have checked? The staff of C City have already replied, saying that someone has gone to C University to handle the withdrawal procedures for him before this."
Yin Chenxing said in surprise: "Exit procedures? Who has the qualifications to make the decision to drop out for Xiaobai?"
"There is only one possibility, and that is his adoptive father."
Yin Chenxing paused for a while, but did not respond. He thought that he already understood what Chu Ji meant.
It seems that Qi Bai's disappearance has something to do with his adoptive father. Most importantly, his adoptive father is a policeman.
Since he was determined to let Qi Bai drop out of school, it is obvious that this adoptive father must know something, and the information he got must have something about the three major forces.
I hope he just wanted to protect Qi Bai through this method, not... Yin Chenxing suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"I also sent someone to look for Xiaobai's residence, but he is not there." Chu Ji let out a long breath suddenly, looked up at Yin Chenxing, "Chenxing, I have been thinking, if Xiaobai really went Looking for his adoptive father, so is it... more dangerous than being with us?"
If his adoptive father knew the real cause of his parents' death, he would probably take this opportunity to tell Qi Bai the whole story. Perhaps what awaited Qi Bai would be to be completely involved in the disputes of the underworld.
Yin Chenxing looked a little hesitant: "Ah Ji, I saw that silver ring on Yu Jing's hand."
"……you saw it?"
"Yes." Yin Chenxing said in a deep voice, "I asked Yu Luo, and he said that only the master of the secret society and his heirs can have this kind of ring."
The master of the Dark Society, and his heirs.
So what about Qi Bai's parents?
Chu Ji fell into deep thought for a long time.
Is there something that is getting closer?Are there some answers that are ready to come out.
He didn't worry about anything else, he was only afraid that the so-called truth would hurt his beloved.
I hope everything is an illusion, I hope everything is not as cruel as imagined.
No matter what, he wanted to get his Xiaobai back.
Qi Bai did not return to his residence in City C, he is currently in the house rented by his adoptive father's biological daughter, Gu Qi.
The adoptive father, Gu Wei, divorced his ex-wife very early. A pair of daughters, Gu Qi and Gu Chen, both lived abroad with his ex-wife all year round. Gu Qi was 24 years old and Gu Chen was 22 years old. Both of them had just graduated from the police academy. Generally, she can only see her daughter when she is on mission abroad.
But now he has brought back both daughters, so it cannot be said that it is not a rare thing.
It was night, Qi Bai was sitting on the sofa with his head down, facing his adoptive father and two sisters who had never met, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was a little depressed for a while.
"...Qi Bai." After a long while, Gu Wei said in a low voice, "Why did you get involved with Wuji and make yourself like this?"
"I'm sorry, father."
Gu Wei sighed deeply: "Don't tell me I'm sorry, I failed your father's entrustment and didn't take good care of you."
"It's not like that." Qi Bai's eyebrows showed a little apology, and he replied in a low voice, "I just want to..." He stopped abruptly in mid-sentence.
However, Gu Wei saw from Qi Bai's eyes what he had been worried about all along. He knew that he still didn't understand this adopted son well enough, and he also understood that there were some things that he couldn't hide.
But isn't this the purpose of my return this time?The truth that should be told cannot be kept hidden forever, it will do no one any good.What's more, Qi Bai is already 20 years old, so the so-called time has come.
"Qi Bai, tell me, do you want to find out about your parents?"
Qi Bai pressed his lower lip uneasily: "Yes, because I have seen father's relics before."
Gu Wei's eyes dimmed slightly, that's why.
"This matter cannot be resolved by you alone. You don't know how complicated the relationship is."
"That's not important." Unexpectedly, Qi Bai's answer was firm, "I just want to know the answer."
I just want to give an explanation to the nightmare that plagued me day and night, I just want an answer, I just want to know why.
Gu Wei took out the silver ring left in the relic from his bosom, and put it in front of Qi Bai: "This should be yours."
"This is the token of the dark society."
"That's right, it's the token of the secret society." Gu Wei nodded, "Moreover, this is a token that only the master of the secret society and his prospective heirs are eligible to wear."
Qi Bai was startled.
"Qi Bai, this ring belongs to your mother. She is actually the biological daughter of the former Lord of the Dark Society, and also the younger sister of the current Lord of the Dark Society. Her name is Yu Cheng."
These words exploded in Qi Bai's mind like a thunderbolt, and he instinctively grabbed the ring tightly.
That is to say...that is to say...
His mother turned out to be the eldest lady of the underworld, she was Yu Luo's aunt, and Yu Luo was actually his cousin.
Are you kidding him?
However, Gu Wei obviously hasn't finished talking yet.
"Your father, that is, Qi Han, was arranged by the organization to work as an undercover agent in a secret society, but unexpectedly he fell in love with Yu Cheng. Later, when his identity was exposed, Yu Cheng took great pains to give up everything in the family and escape with him. Out of the secret society."
Love will always make people blind, no matter how sensible people will be confused one day.
"Qi Han was dismissed for probation because of this. Yu Cheng was already pregnant at that time, and the organization was going to send her to court after she gave birth. Qi Han's requests to the organization were rejected more than once, but Yu Cheng knew about it. Unexpectedly, she didn't say anything. Who would have thought that she would leave City C and return to the secret society headquarters the day after giving birth? According to legend, she was shot and killed by her brother Yu Jing himself, and The secret society owner did not express any objection."
In all fairness, Yu Cheng is not a pure and kind girl. As the eldest lady of the underworld, she has blood from countless people on her hands. She values self-esteem and pride more than anything else, so she would rather die at the hands of her own family than Unwilling to accept Bai Dao's sanctions.
She only did one wrong thing in her life, and that was falling in love with Qi Han. Similarly, the only wrong thing Qi Han did was falling in love with her.
But both of them miraculously never regretted it.
"Five years later, the white forces attacked the underworld again, intending to find a breakthrough for the underworld forces from the underworld. Qi Han took the initiative to ask to go and obtained permission." Gu Wei's tone gradually slowed down, as if he was trying to recall the past. Situation, "Your father...he told me that even if he never comes back this time, he will at least kill Yu Jing with his own hands."
After that, Qi Han really didn't come back, even though he couldn't kill Yu Jing in the end.
