guest of honor

When Meng Jiang rushed to Yuanyang Building, Ye Jingsheng was the only one left in his office.

Ye Li has long since disappeared.

With the back of the tall chair facing him, Ye Jingsheng said in a deep voice, "Why are you back again?"

"it's me."

The chair turned to the front.Ye Jingsheng looked at Meng Jiang who was running out of breath with slight astonishment, and suddenly smiled: "What are you rushing here for?"

"Ye Li, has he already left?" Meng Jiang said to himself, turned around to leave again, but was stopped by Ye Jingsheng.

The man noticed Meng Jiang's anomaly, and asked sharply, "What are you looking for from him!"

Meng Jiang turned his head and looked at him quietly, but there was never a desperate feeling in his eyes: "What did you say to him just now? When I told you that Qin Mu belonged to Zhao Hongduo, you didn't even think about it." Believe it. Why do you want me to frame Qin Mu now?"

"I just want you to repeat what you said to me, why? To Ye Li, can't you panic?" Ye Jingsheng mocked, "Why don't you dare tell him that you are the one that Zhao Hongduo placed in the house?" The nail in Yuanyang! It's exactly the same as your father's back then."

"I dare," Meng Jiang said calmly, "but do you dare?"

Ye Jingsheng was startled, and then laughed loudly: "Meng Jiang, are you crazy? Ye Li knows what's good about all of this, haven't you always liked him? Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone to make him hate Qin Mu?"

Hearing this, Meng Jiang also smiled, but the faint smile didn't reach his eyes: "So, your purpose is to drive a wedge between him and Qin Mu?"

Ye Jingsheng's face suddenly darkened, his eyes widened due to anger and excitement, he gritted his teeth and said, "They must be separated, they must be separated! Absolutely not..." Absolutely nothing will happen!He has been secretly monitoring Qin Mu, and he has fallen in love with Ye Li!Ye Jingsheng felt chills all over his body just thinking about it, his fingers trembled unceasingly, and he clenched the edge of the table tightly.

He didn't finish a sentence, but Meng Jiang already understood the deep meaning of it - the suspicion he had started a long time ago, now finally revealed the tip of the iceberg of the truth.

But the wheel of fate has been unable to turn.

Finally, he gave Ye Jingsheng a smile.There is no pity, only endless sorrow: "If anyone is wrong in all this, it's only one person's fault—and that's you."

In the early hours of the morning, Ye Li's cell phone rang again.

He returned to No. 3 Nanlin Road, but he didn't sleep, and there was no one around him.Luo Haoyu seems to have had a serious car accident, and Luo Haoyuan is on his way back from Myanmar, it is impossible for Qin Mu to leave the hospital before that.

After saying goodbye to Teacher Qian, Qin Mu called him again and asked him to help pack a small suitcase.If Haoyu's situation is not good, Luo Haoyuan will insist on staying in the country, and he may fly to Myanmar to help the Luo family take care of the business.

Ye Li agreed in one breath, but Qin Mu on the other end of the phone didn't notice anything unusual about him despite his desperation.After putting down the phone, Ye Li numbly walked into Qin Mu's bedroom, pulled out a small suitcase, and threw it open with a "bang".

Qin Mu will be leaving for a while.

No matter if he left, he would have time to solve this mess.

Ye Li was half kneeling on the ground, arranging Qin Mu's clothes, when suddenly a business card was thrown from his pocket to the floor.He picked it up, and there were three characters boldly printed on the cardboard: Zhao Wuyi.

He knew Zhao Hongduo's nephew, the notorious second-generation official in the circle, who was full-time cheating and abducting.But anyone who has interests with Zhao Hongduo has been harassed by him.

Ye Li trembled, only felt that what he was pinching with his fingertips was a piece of iron, which scalded his spine along the nerves, making him unable to straighten his back.The business card was thrown on the floor, and he stood up staggeringly on his knees, and rushed to Qin Mu's personal computer on the desk.

He knew the password, it was the birthday of the two of them, but now this sweetness was very ironic, which made his fingers trembling even more when entering the password - the screen was successfully unlocked, and Ye Li only had time to let out a sigh of relief and open the browser history After a moment of recording, his whole body fell into a deeper and darker vortex.

It is the project data of "Huarong Real Estate".

Before Ye Li came back from the United States, Qin Mu was investigating Huarong Real Estate - it turned out that he already knew that there was a problem with that project!

Ye Li collapsed on the swivel chair for a long time, then suddenly let out a broken laugh.He stared at the fluorescent screen without thinking about anything, and seemed to think of a lot in a flash... In the end, it all turned into Qin Mu smiling.

Ye Li didn't tell him that he liked the way he laughed.The eyes are squinting, the expression is jumping away, the corners of the passionate lips seem to be hooked, it seems that everything doesn't matter, and everything doesn't matter.

There was also a clear reflection of him in those extremely black eyes.Now Ye Li is not sure, how much prosperity and prosperity Qin Mu has seen through him... Or, he is just his prey, just like Teacher Qian said.

Ye Li did not have a strong desire to conquer.All along, he's just used to getting things done perfectly.If you let him let go, there is nothing reluctant.If Qin Mu can really do better than him, if he wants the rights, shares and money in his hands, it's not that he can't give them.

But the heart that was beating in his chest, he gave it away first, but unexpectedly, he ushered in a riddled ending.

Phones dance across the table.Ye Li didn't respond, it became noisy again after half a minute of silence, almost shaking and rolling off the table.After taking a deep breath, Ye Li picked up the phone: The caller is Meng Jiang.

"Hey?"

"You didn't take a break." This time, Meng Jiang, who has always been polite, didn't even bother to exchange pleasantries, and said straight to the point, "When do you have time? Let's chat."

Meng Jiang's car was parked downstairs.

Ye Li only put on a windbreaker over his home clothes, and hurried over.

"Where to go?"

"Where you can talk, it's safe."

The car drove all the way and drove up the West Mountain.When the car was parked in a field overgrown with weeds, Meng Jiang turned off the engine, opened the window, and told him a story amidst the chirping of insects.

The protagonist of the story is a six-year-old child.His mother left him when he was young, and his father is a hero in his heart.

When he was young, his father was a soldier, and participated in many suppression campaigns with a great officer; after retiring from the army, the officer also arranged a way out for him, working as a bodyguard for an entrepreneur.

The officer told him bluntly that the hands of that man named Ye Jingsheng were very dirty and his money came from a wrong source.His mission was to find out Ye Jingsheng's method of laundering money, and then cooperate with the chief inside and outside to confiscate the stolen money in one fell swoop.

However, just a few months after he arrived at Ye's house, he showed his flaws.The officer stopped contacting him and asked him to lurk deeper; Ye Jingsheng took him out of his side and arranged for his son to be a dispensable bodyguard.

That's right, the child's father thought, he wasn't supposed to be an undercover agent in the first place.

However, in Ye Jingsheng's view, spies must be eliminated to deter other moths hiding in the dark.Ye Jingsheng knew that his enemy wanted his own flesh and blood to attack him, but deliberately relaxed his guard so that the other party could easily succeed, and killed the child's father with a knife.

After the incident was completed, Ye Jingsheng took the child back to his home in a hypocritical manner, and raised him with rich clothes and fine food, so as to stop Youyou's mouth.

As for what would happen to his own son hiding in the cellar, Ye Jingsheng didn't care at all.In his opinion, the child was just a tool used by a hysterical woman to kidnap his marriage.Now, the woman is also dead, he has no affection for that child, and doesn't care about the life and death of his own flesh and blood at all...

"That's where I started to suspect." Meng Jiang took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and took out one. After looking at it for a while, he didn't light it up. The hand holding the cigarette fell into the night wind outside the window, " If Ye Jingsheng only had one child, even if he didn't like it, how could he be willing to do it?"

"What do you doubt?" Ye Li heard his empty voice without any ripples, asking this question was nothing but stagnant water.

"I suspect he has other children." Meng Jiang avoided Ye Li's sharp eyes and stared blankly at the windshield, "At that time, Ye Jingsheng was inseparable from Qin Chu. Until she...was pregnant."

Ye Li will never forget the tragedy that happened when he was six years old.

As for Qin Mu, who is seven years younger than him—the child was obtained through surrogacy because Ye Zhen was unable to bear children.

"What the hell are you..." Ye Li wanted to ask.The cold wind suddenly blew in, blowing out the last bit of luck, and he lost even the courage to ask.

"I have no proof," Meng Jiang turned his head slowly, "but Qin Mutao may be Qin Chu's son."

Jiangzhou in the morning mist is like a water monster hidden in the depths of the sea. The jagged glass scales and steel horns reflect a bizarre picture, which is weird but traceable.Alone, he walked slowly down the mountain along the road, stopping every two steps. The windbreaker rolled up by the passing vehicles, and the gust of wind gave him the illusion that he would be knocked into the air.

Is that the only morning left?The time left for him and Qin Mu...

Ye Li closed his eyes.

Another car sped past him, leaving behind an angry horn.Ye Li simply sat on the stone pier beside the mountain road, trying to prolong the morning as much as possible.

Before returning to Jiangzhou City, he can give himself some time to think about Qin Mu.

"He may be Qin Chu's son."

Ye Li suddenly laughed, grabbed his heart with a smile, and punched hard twice.It hurts so much he's a bit out of breath, but it'll be fine in a while.

He will get better, and everything will pass.Ye Li thought rationally, fortunately Qin Mu was not around, so he had the opportunity to face the truth without having to face him, otherwise it would be so embarrassing...it would be out of control.

He'd grab him by the collar, throw him against the wall, yell at him to get the hell out of here...it's ugly, that's not something he would do, and there's no point in making a scene like this.

Ye Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath of the cool morning air, but suddenly choked, and coughed hard, as if he wanted to cough out his heart and lungs.

The knuckles of the hand holding the stone pier were protruding and convulsed slightly, and the fingertips seemed to be clamped into the stone.He touched his throat with the other hand, breathing through his mouth, trying to relieve the bloody smell in his throat.

There were two crystal drops of water hanging from the corners of the eyes that hadn't closed all night, probably because the coughing was too hard just now, and the physiological tears were squeezed out.He raised his hand to wipe it off, trying to stand up from the stone pier, but his knees gave way and he fell into the soft soil.

The morning dew wet his trouser legs, and he knelt motionless, with his eyes lowered, and suddenly asked, "Why?"

No one heard, let alone answered.

It is often said that an adult should have the courage to face up to his own weakness, but the shadow of childhood is enough to become a person's eternal nightmare.It is the process of growing up that has made us who we are now, so how should we face up to or deny who we used to be?

Ye Li relaxed his back and lay down on the wild grass.The back of his head hit the foot of the stone pier, and it hurt, but he didn't seem to feel it anymore, so he closed his eyes like this.

The sun rose again, illuminating the earth, and Jiangzhou was bathed in bright gold and woke up again.

As dawn broke, night fell on him.
