The pocket watch is round and has an exceptionally bright surface. On the case surface is an enamel painting of a fire and phoenix surrounded by a circle of small diamonds. It is very valuable at first glance.

Xiao Chang glanced at Shen Rongyu, and said with a somewhat uncomfortable expression: "Well, Mr. Shen, this pocket watch was severely corroded by sea water at the bottom of the sea, so I cleaned it on my own initiative..."

Shen Rongyu didn't care to listen to what he said, he opened the watch case with trembling hands, and saw three small characters clearly engraved inside the watch case: Gu Zhiming.

Shen Rongyu stood up abruptly, and said excitedly, "It's his, it's his!"

He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Chang, his eyes glowed with burning expectation: "What about that ship, is there any?"

Xiao Chang couldn't bear it, but still shook his head: "It's not..."

The light in Shen Rongyu's eyes dimmed instantly, he tightly held the pocket watch in his hand, and gently closed his eyes: "Okay, I see."

Although he kept a fluke mentality along the way, hoping that the ship was still on the bottom of the sea and had not been discovered, it was obvious that someone had fished the ship away in advance.

Xiao Chang: "Mr. Shen, shall we continue the search tomorrow?"

Shen Rongyu shook his head: "No need."

He took a step back and sat back on the sofa, leaning his head on the back of the sofa, his delicate face looked pale and tired at this moment.

Xiao Chang glanced at him and turned to leave. Just as he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Mr. Shen, while you were fainting, Mr. Gu came."

Shen Rongyu opened his eyes instantly: "What? Who?"

Xiao Chang: "Mr. Gu Zheng Gu."

Shen Rongyu: "Why did he come here?"

It was a bit rude to ask this question.

Because the current owner of this Aifei Island is Gu Zheng.

It's a bit strange to say that Aifei Island was said to be bought by Gu Zhilin as a gift for Gu Zhiming back then. After Gu Zhiming passed away, the island was vacant, and the Gu family never came to play again.

But a few years ago, Gu Zheng rose up, and in just one year, he created a new peak for the performance of the Gu Group. Gu Zhilin was very happy, and asked him what he wanted, and Gu Zheng wanted this Afei Island.

At that time, everyone thought that Gu Zhilin would be angry, but Gu Zhilin gave the island to Gu Zheng without saying a word.

Since then, some people have speculated that Gu Zhilin's actions probably meant that Gu Zheng, who was very similar to Gu Zhiming, would inherit the Gu family.

At first, Shen Rongyu sent the fleet to search here because he was prepared for the Gu family to know about it. Later, after he reached a cooperation with Gu Zheng, he asked Gu Zheng to open the back door for him as a matter of course.

This time, he had greeted Gu Zheng before coming here, but Gu Zheng did not say that he would come too, and, according to what Shen Rongyu heard, Gu Zheng seldom came here after he got Afi Island play.

Therefore, when Gu Zheng appeared suddenly, Shen Rongyu was very surprised.

Xiao Chang: "He came by another boat and got on our boat halfway. You just passed out at that time, and it was Mr. Gu who carried you back to the guest room."

Shen Rongyu: ...

Xiao Chang: "By the way, are you hungry? I'll go to the restaurant and get you something to eat."

Shen Rongyu wanted to say that he couldn't eat without him, but Xiao Chang had already opened the door and walked out.

The room became quiet in an instant, only the sound of crashing waves could be heard. Shen Rongyu sat on the sofa and closed his eyes lightly, feeling the slight shaking of the hull.

There is a huge emotion in his body, and the feeling of grief and exhaustion is even more prominent in the quiet room at the moment.Maybe it was because he came back here again, his thoughts were extremely fragile and chaotic, and his whole body seemed to be suffocated in the deep sea.

After about a few minutes, the door creaked open.

Shen Rongyu still had his eyes closed, supported his forehead with one hand, and held his pocket watch lightly with the other hand, and said softly: "I don't want to eat, you can put it aside. How long will it take to land? I want to leave tonight."

This question was asked, but no one answered.

Shen Rongyu suddenly felt a shadow cast over his head, and smelled a faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in his breath.

Shen Rongyu was startled, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Gu Zheng standing in front of him condescendingly, lowering his eyes, looking at him quietly.

At this moment, he almost cried out, but soon he suppressed his flustered heartbeat, stabilized his emotions, and said in a low voice: "Gu Zheng."

Like, so similar, for a moment, he almost thought that the person standing in front of him was Gu Zhiming.

Something flashed in Gu Zheng's deep eyes, but Shen Rongyu didn't catch it. His cold and sharp face covered the bright white light above his head, so that Shen Rongyu couldn't see his expression clearly.

Gu Zheng: "How are you doing?"

Shen Rongyu: "It's much better, I'm a little seasick."

Didn't want to tell him the truth.

Gu Zheng: "Your complexion looks very bad."

Shen Rongyu: "Well, maybe it will be better after getting off the boat, that, I think..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Zheng turned around and sat next to him.

Shen Rongyu silently swallowed the second half of the sentence "stay alone for a while".

Gu Zheng: "Is this his?"

Shen Rongyu: "What?"

Gu Zheng: "The thing in your hand."

Only then did Shen Rongyu realize that Gu Zheng's gaze had been fixed on the pocket watch in his right hand.

Shen Rongyu nodded: "It's his, his name is engraved on it."

It should be something that Gu Zhiming was carrying with him at the time. They fell into the sea, and this pocket watch naturally fell into the bottom of the sea.

Shen Rongyu: "I only found this thing, the boat is gone, Gu Zheng, can you help me find this boat from Gu Heng, I suspect he fished the boat away."

Gu Zheng gave him a complicated look, and said, "Have you ever thought that maybe Gu Zhiming doesn't want you to do this for him?"

Shen Rongyu shook his head: "Whether he wants it or not, I must do it for him. This is what I owe him."

Gu Zheng: "You owe him?"

The corner of Gu Zheng's mouth twitched into a helpless and slightly sad smile: "Rong Yu, do you feel ashamed of him, that you caused his death? Rong Yu, the year Gu Zhiming died, it was Gu Heng and him. It was a year of infighting to the extreme. On the surface, Gu Heng and Gu Zhiming seemed to be very harmonious, but they had tampered with each other several times in private, so Gu Heng wanted Gu Zhiming's life back then, and it was Gu Zhiming who got you in trouble."

Shen Rongyu was startled: "How do you know this?"

Gu Zheng: "If you want to fight against Gu Heng, you must know his 'life story', which I investigated a few years ago."

Shen Rongyu shook his head: "No, this is just one of them. Gu Heng is narrow-minded and very suspicious. Back then, I overheard half a sentence between him and Shen Yiyao. He suspected that I knew everything, so he killed him. One Gu Zhiming, maybe he will hesitate when he makes a move, but adding me... Oh, you know, he was hypocritical to me back then, and he wanted the support of the Shen family when he was with me. Killing me still wants to kill Gu Zhiming, with his personality, he will only breathe a sigh of relief when both of them die."

Shen Rongyu's eyes darkened: "But no matter what the reason is, if I hadn't driven that speedboat away back then, he wouldn't have..."

"He will live well and be his gentle and elegant young master of the Gu family. If you haven't seen him, you don't know. He is very, very nice. He is gentle and patient with everyone. Friends all like him very much..."

The room was very quiet, the ship was shaking slightly, and the sound of waves crashed in my ears, Shen Rongyu was silent in the memories of the past, his voice was sometimes light, sometimes cheerful, and sometimes slightly sad.

Gu Zheng stared at the front with downcast eyes, didn't say a word, just listened quietly.

After a while, when Shen Rongyu finally said he was tired, Gu Zheng's big warm hand suddenly wrapped his cold hand.

Shen Rongyu was startled, and wanted to break free, but heard Gu Zheng say: "Shen Rongyu, if one day, you find that the Gu Zhiming you know may not be what you imagined. Maybe he has been suppressing the darkness in his heart all this time, It's not as sunny and warm as you said, you..."

You will not be disappointed.

Shen Rongyu slightly turned his head to look at him, with some surprise in his eyes: "Why do you say that?"

Gu Zheng: "I'm just saying that if, as you know, wealthy families, in order to fight for family property, brothers and sisters intrigue and plot against each other, there are not a few people. Even if he doesn't want to do this, but there is someone like Gu Heng who is determined to replace him. The younger brother who was stumbling him in the dark, besides, his health is not good, he can't do many things, and he has to take care of the face of the Gu family, so I'm afraid he's always giving in. But after a long time, he will Sow the seeds of darkness in my heart."

Shen Rongyu didn't speak for a long time after hearing this. He pondered for a long time and said, "What you said makes sense, but it's just an assumption. Gu Zhiming is no longer here. Since he only brought me the sunny side, I imagined He is sunny and gentle, I don't want to guess him casually..."

There is one thing he didn't say, and he didn't want to say it in front of Gu Zheng, that is, no matter what Gu Zhiming looks like, even if his heart is dark and cold, he is willing to stand by his side.

Gu Zheng obviously didn't realize what Shen Rongyu hadn't said, his expression darkened, he clenched his fists tightly and then loosened them.

After a while, he stood up, and said in a low voice, "I'll go out first to see where the boat is. You can take a rest."

After speaking, he quickly opened the door and walked out.

Gu Zheng quickly got on the deck all the way, the sun in the distance had already fallen into the boundless sea water, the sky was dark, night was coming, he stood on the deck, let the wind mess his hair, his eyes stared coldly ahead .

After a while, footsteps suddenly appeared behind him. Gu Zheng turned around and saw that it was Xiao Chang, so he looked back.

Xiao Chang: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Shen is not suspicious of that pocket watch."

Gu Zheng nodded: "You did a good job."

Xiao Chang: "Mr. Gu, we are almost there, are you leaving tonight?"

Gu Zheng's deep eyes are still staring into the distance, and his voice unconsciously reveals a slight coldness and firmness: "Yes, I will take him away tonight."
