The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

I might be crazy, Gong Cheng thought.

When he reacted, Lin Xiaogong under him had been beaten by Gong Cheng with blood all over his face, and he was screaming hysterically.

Gong Cheng grabbed Lin Xiaogong by the collar and punched her in the face again and again, until her skin was torn.

"Xiaocheng? Why did you hit me?"

"Are you crazy?"

"Are you beating me because of that psychopath Tao Zhi?"

"Gong Cheng, shouldn't you hate him as much as I do?"

"He's the one who destroyed you, he's the one who trampled you into the mud!"

"Have you forgotten all the bullying he did to you over the years?"

"He's dead. He finally died as we wished. Shouldn't you be as happy as I am?"

"Xiaocheng, smile, why don't you smile?"

The smile on Lin Xiaogong's face was wildly distorted, blood splattered as Gong Cheng's fist hit him, but the smile in Lin Xiaogong's eyes became deeper and deeper, and he looked already crazy.

"Gongcheng."

"You're crazy too, aren't you? He's driven you crazy, right?"

"You abandoned me for him back then, and now you beat me up for a dead man like him."

"You're not really in love with this bastard, are you?"

"Why are you so mean? You're still the same as before!"

"Gong Cheng, it's all because of you. If it weren't for you, how could I have been harmed by him and become like this today?"

"You two lunatics!"

"Go to hell! Go to hell!"

Lin Xiaogong roared and then coughed up blood.

A waiter outside the door heard the noise and pushed the door open hesitantly. He saw Gong Cheng with red eyes, strangling Lin Xiaogong's neck with both hands. Lin Xiaogong had lost his strength and could not breathe, his eyes were wide open because of the feeling of suffocation.

The waiter screamed and shouted "Murder".

More people gathered around. Gu Dongnan rushed over upon hearing the news and pulled the irrational Gong Cheng away, stopping him from continuing to strangle Lin Xiaogong's neck.

Lin Xiaogong took a few seconds to regain some luster in his eyes, then he curled up his body and started coughing violently, coughing out the blood stuck in his throat.

"It's good that Tao Zhi died!"

"It's good that Tao Zhi died!"

The blood and saliva in Lin Xiaogong's mouth mixed together and flowed down from the corners of his mouth, staining his clothes red. He stretched his neck and yelled at Gong Cheng, who was held in Gu Dongnan's arms to control his body.

Upon hearing this, hatred surged in Gong Cheng's eyes again, and veins bulged as he tried to struggle out of Gu Dongnan's arms.

"I kill you!"

"I will kill you!" Gong Cheng's voice was sad and angry.

"You are such a slut, you deserve to have your life ruined by him!"

"Gong Cheng, you deserve it!"

"You are all crazy. You are all crazy."

"Come and kill me, come and kill me if you have the guts!"

Lin Xiaogong's face was hideous and his facial features were distorted. When he was provoking Gong Cheng, he was kicked down. Then he lay on the ground holding his chest and wailing in pain. Gong Cheng's strength was so great that it was enough to break several of Lin Xiaogong's ribs.

A day later, Gong Cheng was led out of the detention room by the police officer and saw Gu Dongnan waiting for him gently at the door.

Gu Dongnan put the coat he had prepared in advance on Gong Cheng's shoulders and helped Gong Cheng walk out of the police station.

At this time, Gong Cheng looked very haggard, with some stubble, dark circles under his eyes, and a strong sense of fatigue.

Gong Cheng suddenly stopped and looked up at Gu Dongnan beside him.

"Gu Dongnan." Gong Cheng shouted.

"Hmm?" Gu Dongnan responded.

"I seem to be sick." Gong Cheng said with red eyes.

Gu Dongnan was silent for a while.

"I'll accompany you to see a psychiatrist tomorrow." Gu Dongnan said gently.

"I don't know what's wrong with me. I can't control myself when it comes to that person."

"I obviously hate him so much. I even fantasize that when I have enough power, I will take revenge on him. I will ruin his reputation and destroy his family."

"I want to return all the grievances and pains I suffered from him over the years."

"But he died."

"He died before I could take revenge on him."

"During this period, I even tortured myself by checking all the information about him over and over again."

"I saw pictures of his bloody wounds online."

"I looked at the injury on his wrist and I just couldn't be happy at all."

"He is such a person who is afraid of pain, how much pain he must be in."

Gong Cheng's voice already began to sound tearful.

"I used to have nightmares all the time. I dreamed that he was lying next to me and that he was holding me tightly in his arms."

"I still dream about him now. I dream that he cries and calls me, Xiaocheng, begging me to save him."

"He said he was scared because he was alone and asked me to find him."

"Gu Dongnan? Have I really become a lunatic like Lin Xiaogong said?" Gong Cheng choked.

Gu Dongnan reached out to wipe away Gong Cheng's tears, then held Gong Cheng in his arms and patted his back rhythmically to comfort him.

"Xiaocheng, don't put so much pressure on yourself."

"Tao Zhi's death is not your fault."

"You are just too kind, and you took the blame for his murder on yourself."

"He killed people not because of you, but because he failed to control his own violence."

"It's not your fault." Gu Dongnan said.

The pain in Gong Cheng's heart surged and he couldn't help but let out sobs.

At the same time, Tao Ci and Tao Li were sitting at the dinner table.

Taoci had no idea of ​​the taste of the food, so Tao Li picked up some food for him and he took a few more bites.

Taoci sighed and put down his chopsticks.

"Tomorrow is the anniversary of your mother and your brother's death. Remember to come early and buy two bags of peach cakes and pickled duck that your brother used to love on the way." Taoci said.

"Okay." Tao Li responded.

The sadness in Taoci's eyes could not be concealed. In just two years, half of his hair had turned white, and wrinkles on his eyebrows were obvious, showing an old look.

"Your brother, that brat, saved us a lot of trouble by choosing the anniversary of your mother's death to commit suicide."

"I don't know if he has run into your mother over there. Your mother has to give him a good scolding for me."

"Scold him for being such a jerk and leaving an old man like me to die in prison."

As Taoci spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and red bloodshot spread. She then covered her eyes with her hands and took a deep breath. When she put her hands down, tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried not to lose her composure in front of her son.

Tao Li pursed his lips and said nothing, lowering his eyes to try to maintain his usual calmness, but his throat was still very dry because of Tao Ci's words, and the fingertips holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.

"Xiao Li." Taoci called out earnestly.

Tao Li raised his head and looked at Tao Ci.

"Dad, do you have anything else to tell me?" Tao Li asked.

Tao Ci looked straight at Tao Li with a conflicted look, but finally he spoke.

"Tomorrow, bring that bearded foreign guy and your little foreign guy with you and let your mother and brother see them." Taoci said in a hoarse voice.

Tao Li's heart trembled when he heard this. The indifference and calmness in his eyes disappeared and he looked stunned.

"Dad, when will you..."

Tao Li was speechless. Thinking about what his father had just asked him to do, that is, to bring Lawrence and Wendy back, tears immediately fell from his eyes.

"Dad is old, not blind."

"You were holding hands with that bearded guy in the mall. I saw you with my old friends when we were touring the industry."

"If I don't expose it, are you going to never tell me anything for the rest of your life?" asked Taoci.

Tao Li didn't know what to say. He just lowered his head and clenched his fists like a child who had done something wrong.

"I did have some reservations at first, and I wanted to find a way to get you back on the right track."

"But your father is old now."

"I just hope you can be well, do what you like, and be happy every day. That's enough."

“Nothing else matters anymore.”

"I've already lost your mother and your brother."

"I can't lose you again."

"No matter how filthy your beard is, you chose it yourself. As long as you two are happy with each other, dad will unconditionally support you, bless you, and watch you be happy."

"That's all I can expect in my life." Taoci said with red eyes.
