"Since last night, Xiejiawan and Fisherman's Wharf have been caught in the chaos of gang fights. In addition, at 12:30 a.m., an explosion occurred in a factory of Qin's Shipping in the West District, causing five serious injuries and twelve minor injuries. A Qin's cruise ship temporarily docked in Chungang also suddenly caught fire at 3 a.m. Fortunately, there were not many tourists staying on the ship, and there were not many casualties. The Nangang police are..."

The news broadcast came from the bulky old TV.

Ye Kong, who was eating porridge at a low table, raised his eyes, his distinct black and white eyes fixed on the TV in the morning light.

The Qin family was in chaos.

Mr. Qin, Qin Wu's father, who had always been elusive, had to come back to clean up the mess.

Mrs. Qin took Qin Zheng to the hospital to comfort the injured and accepted the media's pursuit and blockade. After that, she had to go to the exploded factory and the burning cruise ship to personally check the situation so that the media could take pictures to protect the Qin family's image.

Mrs. Qin, who had been out of action since early morning, still failed to get through to her son during her short rest in the car, so the air pressure in the car was extremely low.

Qin Zheng stood aside like a transparent person and heard her aunt muttering, "When did the Huo family become so bold?"

Qin Zheng tried to hold back, but still couldn't help saying, "They have always been very courageous, but their interests are aligned with ours and we have never had any clear disagreements. This time, Qingyun's incident may have really irritated them."

Mrs. Qin thought of the toy gun that scared her last night.

At that time she thought it was a prop used to vent anger and humiliate her, but she didn't expect that it was a warning sent by the two brothers.

In just a few hours, they aimed their guns directly at Qin's interests and opened fire without hesitation.

"It's all Ye Shiyi's fault."

Qin Zheng heard the woman mumbling to herself again: "She is really the calamity star of our Qin family - how can such a woman marry A Wu and become the mistress of our family? The entire Qin family will be destroyed by her."

Qin Zheng asked hesitantly: "Will Ye Kong come to this auction?"

"..." The pair of eyes in the shadows suddenly turned cold and moved over without warning, "Why do you want to know this?"

"…I'm just curious, and I was thinking," Qin Zheng answered calmly, "Wu's sudden disappearance at this juncture could be related to Ye Kong? After all, no matter how outrageous he is, Wu has never been so reckless in important matters."

The suspicion and coldness on Mrs. Qin's face gradually faded, and she gritted her teeth again: "It's not impossible..."

She didn't know what she was thinking of, but her eyes, which were surging with emotions, suddenly fixed. She turned her head and stared at Qin Zheng, asking, "By the way, how is the progress between you and Wen Can?"

"…It's OK. We can chat for a while."

Mrs. Qin was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, but she stared at her and continued to ask: "Then according to your observation, does Wen Can have any doubts about the relationship between his father and Wen Lian?"

"..." Qin Zheng's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

She wanted to take a deep breath to calm her nerves, but under her aunt's cold gaze, she dared not reveal a word. She could only frown slightly and make an expression of reminiscence and contemplation: "I can't tell. He really is like the typical favored child of heaven who has fallen into the quagmire and become decadent and depraved. So his indifference to his father can be completely explained by this. As for the other things..."

She shook her head: "I really can't tell."

At this moment, the passenger door was suddenly opened.

The assistant got into the car and asked where to go next.

"Have you contacted the two brothers of the Huo family?"

"No, the Huo family said they had something to deal with, and they didn't know where to go."

Mrs. Qin tightly grasped the phone, and only let it go after a long while. She took a deep breath and said, "Then I have to go to the Huo family. Don't they want an invitation? I'll go and deliver it myself!"

The silver wheelchair stopped at the exit of the garden maze.

The servant stopped and leaned over to ask the wheelchair owner: "Sir, where would you like to visit next?"

The cold wind, carrying the smell of dead branches and leaves, blew through the bushes in front, brushing the man's short black hair and eyes.

I don't know where his eyes fell. After a moment, he said calmly, "I want to take a walk by myself. Is that okay?"

"This..." The servant was a little embarrassed.

The man was indifferent but would not tolerate rejection: "During breakfast, Madam Qin said that I could relax in the manor at will - do you think there is something wrong with that?"

"No... okay."

The servant had no choice but to let go of the armrest of the wheelchair: "Then you must be careful. There are security guards and servants everywhere in the manor. Just call for help when you need it."

Wen Can held the armrest himself and steered the wheelchair in any direction.

Until the servant's figure disappeared around the corner behind him, he retracted his peripheral vision and turned his head to stare into the distance.

Hidden among the trees, a dilapidated Gothic spire is reflecting the skylight in a mottled manner.

He looked for a few seconds, then changed direction without hesitation and headed straight for the woods.

The wheelchair first drove over a flat stone road, then entered untended grass, and finally the grass became thicker until the half-broken glass spire became clearer and clearer in the field of vision - the forest with fallen leaves all over the ground was right in front of us.

As long as he passes through here, he will arrive.

click-

The crisp sound of dead branches being broken by footsteps.

Wen Can pressed the handle and the wheelchair stopped.

The sound of footsteps crushed the fallen leaves and approached from the side.

He turned his head and saw a tall and slender figure walking towards him on the fallen leaves.

It was Qin Wu who had been missing for a whole night.

He was wearing a long coat, gloves and a scarf, and he still had the chill of the winter night on him, but his smile was simply bright and brilliant.

"Master Wen, where are you going?"

"Relax." Wen Can's tone was like frozen fog, so cold that people wanted to shiver.

"You can't go to a place like this just to relax. It's too cold and you'll easily catch a cold."

"What kind of place is this?" Wen Can lowered his eyelids, "I thought there shouldn't be any forbidden places in the Qin family manor."

"No, no, of course."

Qin Wu walked over and stood behind him while speaking. He held the handle of the wheelchair, bent down slightly, and looked in the direction of his gaze toward the dilapidated building deep in the woods, where a few corners could already be seen. "Just like your Wen family must have forbidden areas that cannot be visited, the Qin family certainly has them too."

He stretched out his hand behind Wen Can and pointed to the piece of glass that was gleaming in the depths: "See it? That's a greenhouse."

His metallic, slightly cool voice flowed in the morning mist, with a mercury-like clear yet poisonous coldness.

"My first love was buried there. Master Wen, do you know what first love is? It's the person you like and love for the first time in your life, but it didn't end well."

"But you know, people always remember the bad endings that happened so spectacularly."

"So I can't help but miss her from time to time, and go there from time to time to recall the past alone, and review the countless possibilities between me and her."

His breath swirled in the air like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue: "Then, I came to the same conclusion countless times-"
