guest of honor

The lights are on, and the traffic is like weaving.

Ye Li leaned on the back of the co-pilot seat, quietly watching the Jiangzhou night outside the window, and tapped the armrest lightly with the index finger of his left hand.

The more he thought about He Minghan's departure from Daishan Culture, the more something went wrong.If Qin Mu had already caught him, how could he let him get out of the company?The best solution is to stabilize He Minghan first, control him within his line of sight and take it slowly, rather than go his own way—Ye Li does not believe that Qin Mu will not understand this simple truth.

It must be what He Minghan did that made Qin Mu have to break up with him in a short time.This person's method of action has never been limited to violence, Ye Li couldn't help but nervously said: "Qin Mu, after you returned to China, did you meet He Minghan alone?"

Qin Mu gripped the steering wheel tightly.He should have guessed that he couldn't hide it from Ye Li.

In the battle with He Minghan that day, he was indeed defeated, but he still didn't want Ye Li to know his difficulties.Qin Mu asked softly: "Can you stop asking?"

It was such a little bit of loneliness and weakness that blocked all the doubts in Ye Li's heart.

When the car enters the non-motorized lane, just 100 meters ahead will be the entrance of the parking lot of the community where Ye Li's apartment is located.Even though Qin Mu stopped the car with the brakes, the three-wheeled old man still hit the front of the SUV, and he fell to the ground following the inertia.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and the old man immediately jumped up from the ground, rushed to the driver's seat of the SUV and smashed the window of the car with a "bang bang bang".At that time, Qin Mu hadn't had time to unbuckle his seat belt, and through the glass, he heard the old man scolding the street full of anger: "Come out! Come out for me!! Do you have eyes, the driver?! Come out and lose money!! "

Qin Mu stared coldly at the angry face of the old man outside the dark glass, called the police and pushed the door to get out of the car.Time passed by, and the old man guessed that Qin Mu had already called the police, so he sat down on the ground and started to play.

Sitting in the car, Ye Li suddenly realized that the old man who touched porcelain was deliberately delaying time, while Qin Mu was standing in the middle of the bicycle lane!His heart suddenly felt cold, and when he pushed open the door, he glanced in the rearview mirror unintentionally, and saw another car driving into the non-motorized vehicle lane, hitting Qin Mu straight!

"Qin Mu!!" Ye Li rushed forward and grabbed Qin Mu's arm.

Qin Mu only felt that the car lights flashed in front of his eyes, and he was pulled by one hand and fell towards the car door.At the same time, the speeding vehicle crashed into the front of the SUV, with a loud explosion and a heat wave that burned his back immediately.

The shattered glass of the car pierced into the flesh, Qin Mu recklessly tried to support his body, but he touched the soft and warm chest of another person.

"Ye Li!" The night was dark and the surroundings were chaotic, he saw the bloody face of the man clearly through the street lamps and car lights, his eyes were about to split open, and his convulsed fingers suddenly grasped the hideous corners of the car door.

Ye Li couldn't even utter a cry of pain.His head hit the door frame directly, and he didn't know how many ribs were broken, and several of them were pierced into his lungs.When Qin Mu pressed his hand on his chest, blood flowed down his throat and into his mouth, but in the end he held it in his mouth forcefully, not daring to spit it out.

But the worst part was his arm, covered in shards of glass and stuck between the deformed door and the back of the seat.As soon as Qin Mufu left, Ye Li fell limply on the asphalt ground, but one arm was suspended in the air and could not be pulled out.

"Ye Li..."

Qin Mu's voice was somewhat distorted due to tinnitus, and Ye Li struggled for a long time before barely opening his eyes.

He had never seen Qin Mu in such a state of distress, but he didn't seem to be seriously injured.Ye Li wanted to laugh for a while, but the blood in his mouth finally spurted out uncontrollably, splashing his and Qin Mu's clothes.

Two hands grabbed his shoulders and waist respectively, trying to drag him out of the wreckage of the car, but sharp pain immediately pierced his shoulders into his mind.Ye Li groaned hoarsely in pain, but the scene in front of him was much clearer than before.Qin Mu knelt on the ground, his face was covered with dust and blood, and he opened and closed his mouth to say something, but he couldn't hear it at all.

What was even more dangerous was behind Qin Mu. The fuel tanks of the two cars had obviously leaked under the violent impact. The asphalt under the chassis of the cars was soaked in a large dark color, and it glowed dangerously under the street lights.

After a short period of blank thinking, he pushed Qin Mu hard and shouted, "Go!"

Just uttering one word, Ye Li felt that it was killing him, the burning pain in his lungs reminded him that it had been crushed.But Qin Mu refused to leave, and still persistently groped his hand into the gap of the seat back adjuster. Although it had already deformed there, whether it would work or not was a huge unknown.

He grabbed Qin Mu's shoulder with his good hand, and stubbornly wanted to push him away, but Qin Mu only had time to look up at him deeply, and immediately lowered his head to move the seat back again.

Gasoline dripped onto the tarmac, sparks still crackling.In the blink of an eye, Ye Li couldn't hear or see clearly, the world was in chaos, only those eyes were crystal clear.The moment they looked at each other, even the pain became far away, and only each other could be grasped.Ye Li gave up resisting, and dropped his hands powerlessly.

He couldn't tell what he saw in Qin Mu's eyes at the moment when he was on the verge of death, but he did understand his intentions.It cannot be resisted, nor can it be disappointed.

Qin Mu's fingertips finally touched the manual regulator.As the back of the chair bounced up suddenly, Ye Li's arm finally fell out.Qin Mu staggered towards the crosswalk under the night with his good shoulder on his shoulder.

Passers-by who were also aware of the danger of the explosion were also evacuating to the open area one after another, Ye Li couldn't hear the chaotic noise, and he didn't know whether the car exploded in the end.

After being laid flat on the ground, Ye Li realized that the two of them had finally turned the corner, he gritted his teeth and couldn't help but relax.He saw red and blue police lights illuminating the night sky, and then completely lost consciousness.

A bouquet of white daisies stands in front of the marble tombstone.

Meng Jiang stood quietly in front of the tomb, looking at the black and white portraits in the four square frames, silent for a long time.

He wondered if Izumi's father would be relieved or ashamed if he knew what he had done?The day after he secretly reported to Zhao Hongduo, Ye Li had a car accident and is still lying in the hospital, the ax of death may fall with complications at any time.

When the car accident happened, he had just boarded the plane back to his hometown, and he didn't know Ye Li's life or death until dawn the next day, and he couldn't make it back.

If it was really Zhao Hongduo's killer, everything started because of him...

"It's so early this year?"

The morning mist has not completely dissipated, and there is a drizzle in the garden, blurring the traces of the visitors.When Meng Jiang turned his head, Zhao Hongduo was already standing behind him, also holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands: "There will be big events happening in Jiangzhou soon, you should go back sooner."

"I know." Meng Jiang frowned, turned around and gave up his position in front of the tombstone.What Zhao Hongduo said to his father's portrait, he didn't want to know.

Come to think of it, there are not a few truths.It's a pity that he believed every word this man said at the beginning, and it was only then that he got to where he is today.

The two left the cemetery together.Meng Jiang suddenly took a big step forward and stood in front of Zhao Hongduo: "Mr. Zhao! Do you know who caused Ye Li's car accident?"

"Who did it? Wasn't it an accident?" Zhao Hongduo frowned and said calmly, "What's more, there was Qin Mu in that car. If the car accident was a murder disguised as an accident, how would you know the murderer?" The real target is Ye Li?"

Seeing Meng Jiang lower his head, his cheeks tense because of clenched teeth, Zhao Hongduo sneered, "You don't think that this car accident has something to do with me, do you?"

"No..." Meng Jiang subconsciously denied.He didn't know why he had such a ridiculous idea, but Zhao Hongduo was indeed a person who would do such things.

"But there's one thing I did."

Meng Jiang raised his head suddenly, the sharpness in his eyes was undisguised, and he stabbed at Zhao Hongduo.

This is no longer Meng Jiang from years ago.That crying little boy has grown into a man with the ability to think independently, he will no longer be easily blinded by hatred, and may even have begun to doubt the truth he told him... But Zhao Hongduo has seen through him and will not allow him to separate from himself His control: "If you see the news that Ye Li and Qin Mu's life and death are uncertain, don't panic. It's the news I released on purpose. Someone is shorting the stock of Daishan Culture."

"Short?" Meng Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, puzzled, "After Qin Mu was discharged from the hospital, the stock price rebounded, what should I do?"

"This has nothing to do with you." Zhao Hongduo glanced at him and warned him not to be troublesome, "I tell you, to make you feel at ease, I have no malice towards Ye Li. But if you tell Ye Li everything, I will There is no guarantee that he will not be dragged into the water."
