The next day, Qin Jin and Director Li took a taxi to the meeting place.

This is a place similar to a manor, with a very large area. Through the fence outside, you can see the people inside moving around at will.

This conference sounds serious, but it is actually an exchange meeting. There is no fixed occasion for special discussions. Everywhere, business celebrities in suits and shoes stand together and chat, or walk back and forth.

They passed through the open space outside and walked into the hall inside. The huge and wide space was shrouded in resplendent and resplendent light.There was someone sitting in a place holding a goblet and shaking it at will, and several people gathered together and laughed politely while discussing the recent major international events...

Sounds are everywhere, but not disturbing.Everyone is extraordinary, full of confidence, and talks about everything at the moment.

Seeing this, Director Li hurriedly said goodbye to Qin Jin, and then joined the conversation circle.

Qin Jin stood alone under the light, the orange light cast on his face, but the hair on his forehead left a shadow on his eyes.

In this kind of situation, Mingming is very close to the people around him, as if separated by an invisible wall.

Whether it's bearing or clothing, they are all top-notch among this crowd.But for some reason, no one came forward to communicate with him.

People subconsciously seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They subconsciously glanced at Qin Jin and then quickly avoided them.Qin Jin saw that he was either rich or expensive, and he was supposed to be the target of wooing, but they felt that they couldn't afford to provoke them.

Qin Jin listened to the movement around him, his eyes half-opened, and a standard smile slowly appeared on his face.

He didn't seem to care about all of this, and every step he took he wrote the gesture of a nobleman.He shuttled back and forth in the hall with ease, as if he was looking for an important person...

His clothes were clean and tidy, without a single wrinkle.The appearance is very clean, and the high-quality appearance looks like a perfect person.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard someone pointing at an old man not far away.

"Who is that? Why haven't I heard of it, but it doesn't feel like an ordinary person."

"I don't know too well, but I heard it's from the Lin family. It seems to be an old butler of the Lin family?"

"The butler? Is the butler very powerful? Why does a butler have to be invited? Could it be that the invitation was also obtained through a relationship?"

"It's not like this. I heard that the organizer solemnly handed over the invitation letter to the butler. That butler is not an ordinary person. I heard that he has an extraordinary status in the Lin family. Countless descendants of the Lin family are very respectful when they see him..."

Listening to the voice, Qin Jin frowned slightly, turned his head and looked at the place facing the light...

His eyes did not fluctuate with the change of the scene, but when he looked at the corner of the dark place, he, who had already learned to act, couldn't control his expression, his pupils constricted suddenly, and his breath was suffocated...

It was a very old but energetic old man. He looked at every corner of the hall with his eyes open, and there was an obvious mole in the corner of his eye.It seemed that he was a little tired from standing, and he sat on the sofa in the dark.

Qin Jin stared blankly at that person. He who had been acting with the world forgot to put on his disguise at this moment, and his original composure disappeared for a moment, as if a rage had blown up and almost shattered his brain. .

He clenched his palms and made a "clack" sound.He closed his eyes and tried his best to adjust his somewhat uneven breathing at the moment.

As if the world was spinning, Qin Jin stood where he was and tried to calm himself down.But still unable to resist the fainting of the brain, he closed his eyes and gritted his back teeth.After less than a minute, his eyes slowly opened, and the initial turmoil had subsided into calm...

At that moment, the breath around him sank again and again, but the smile appeared again, but it was deeper than before, and it was even more unpredictable.

He chuckled lightly, as if he was that noble young man again, with his innate temperament hovering around him.

Every movement he made was so standard.

Qin Jin walked in the direction of the old man. Passing the nearby table, he inadvertently picked up a small fruit knife and hid it in his sleeve, trying to continue to show his aristocratic attitude as if nothing happened.

Qin Jin has always walked very steadily, including walking beside the old man, his temperament has not diminished at all.

The old man obviously saw him and raised his cloudy eyes.

When he saw Qin Jin's appearance, he was stunned for a moment, looked Qin Jin from head to toe, and then shook his head.

The old man showed an inexplicable smile, then pointed to the empty sofa in front of him and said to Qin Jin, "Sit down."

Qin Jin glanced down at him, then sat down.

The old man squinted his eyes, and his eyes were a little complicated: "Are you the child who Lin Yuan sent the post to?"

Qin Jin moved his fingers, raised his eyelids and smiled lightly: "You know?"

"He is the one I saw the most, I know everything he does..."

As he said that, he took a closer look at Qin Jin, especially the mixed-blood symbol, as if he was recalling something.

"Your other half is from country W?"

"Yes." Qin Jin chuckled, opened a bottle of beer on the table and put it to his mouth.

The old man also smiled: "All the mixed races in country W look like you..."

As he said that, a memory flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

He seemed to have expected it a long time ago: "Did Linyuan plan to treat you as his son from the beginning?"

Qin Jin paused, but replied naturally: "That's right."

The old man laughed: "I knew it was like this..."

Qin Jin moved his fingers and grabbed the bottle, but he didn't dare to be discovered by the other party too hard.

The old man asked again: "Do you know why he wants you to be his son?"

In fact, Qin Jin had already thought about this answer a thousand times in his mind. He lowered his eyes and took a sip of wine casually, pretending to be casual.

"Because I'm good-looking..."

"No." The old man shook his head, quite mysteriously.

Qin Jin's eyes moved slightly: "...Because I have temperament?"

"no……"

"...Because I have good manners and dress neatly?"

"no……"

The dim light in Qin Jin's eyes kept shaking, his Adam's apple twitched, and he said hoarsely: "Because I love cleanliness, isn't he...a clean freak?"

The old man still shook his head: "None, everything you said is not true."

"why?"

The old man looked up at him, especially his hair, his eyes...

"Because you are a mixed race, because of the color of your hair, the color of your pupils... even your skin color, the curl of your hair..."

Qin Jin was startled slightly after hearing this, he lowered his head, the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.

The old man continued to ask, "Have you been to college?"

Qin Jin's voice was very hoarse: "I've been there, A is big."

The old man sighed: "A big, it is the world's top university. By the way, since you are studying in country W, have you heard of the city of Suddens?"

Qin Jin opened his eyes slightly, his lips twitched, and then said: "I heard, it is one of the most prosperous cities in country W."

"Prosperous..." The old man's eyes became even cloudier: "It is prosperous now, I guess you have never seen Sudense 15 years ago... that place was famous for its chaos in the world back then."

He took a sip of water, took a moment and continued, "Although there are dangers there, there are also countless opportunities..."

"15 years ago, I went to Sadnes with Linyuan. However, what I experienced the most was not business matters, but...a child..."

……

In winter, the cold wind and heavy snow covered the city in white, and the wind outside the window was especially loud.

Linyuan had been in this city for a whole day, and the other party's asking price was too high during the day, and they failed to negotiate successfully.

At night, he stood by the window in a Tang suit, looking at the vast snow under the night with deep eyes.

He is the child of his father and his fourth wife. His father was already old when he was born, and the power of the family was no longer in his hands.

The elder brothers took most of the property away, leaving him not even a single collateral.

He is 22 years old this year, at the time of youth struggle.It has been seven or eight years since he started planning his career in high school, and with the influence of Lin's family, he has already made some achievements in China.

However, his little money is still not enough. In a prosperous place like the imperial capital, it can be said to be a drop in the bucket.

In order to quickly expand his power, he took risks and came to the chaotic place of Sudens with the old housekeeper who took care of him since he was a child.

He looked at the window alone, and he didn't know what he was looking at in the vast snow, but he was used to standing quietly by himself since he was a child.

After a while, the old butler came over and put a coat on him, and said to him with a steaming dinner: "Master, can you eat something first?"

Lin Yuan shook his head, with an expression on his face that didn't match his age.

The indoor fire is a bit big, and the room is a bit stuffy.

It just so happened that today's business was not concluded, Lin Yuan tightened his clothes and went to the door to open it.

The cold wind outside the house made people's face ache, but Lin Yuan walked out without changing his expression.

Sudense was too chaotic, and the old butler was worried that something might go wrong in the cemetery, so he hurriedly followed, and the two of them walked in the heavy snow like this.

There is a big gap between the rich and the poor here. The road at the entrance is flat, but after a few more steps, it is uneven, and even the more you walk, the muddy the surrounding environment is getting worse.

Maybe... this is the way to the ghetto.

The road he walked was so quiet that no one could be seen.

In this lonely and dark place, only the street lamps that are far apart are the only light here.

The cold air at night is fresh but a little irritating to the nerves. The road goes back and forth again, and it is not known when it will end.

The interval between street lights is very unstable, and some street lights can only be seen after a long distance.

After a long period of darkness, he finally came to the end of the road.

It's a dead end street with a wall not far ahead.

Lin Yuan's eyes flicked, and he finally saw the last street light.The street lamp was right in the middle of the wall, yet there seemed to be a whole bunch of things leaning against the lamp post.

He didn't know what it was. The vast snow covered it and buried it, but there was no movement in it, maybe... it was a pile of dirt.

The old butler said to Linyuan: "Master, let's go first, it's not safe at night..."

Lin Yuan raised his hand and blocked the old butler's next words.He stood there quietly looking at the pile of things...

After a while, he finally walked over.

The white and slender fingers brushed away the heavy snow... revealing a ball of fluffy curly hair.

The old butler's face changed, but Linyuan continued to peel the snow off, revealing the child with closed eyes inside.

On such a cold day, the child was wearing thin summer short-sleeved shorts, and the clothes were also tattered, as if they were picked from a garbage dump.

The child's exposed skin was blue and purple, and there were even countless small wounds. The wounds were a little blistered due to the heavy snow, and even the outermost blood had frozen into ice.

In the ice and snow all over his body, he suddenly felt the temperature. The boy seemed to have found his only hope, but he couldn't move his whole body. He could only try to rub his head against that hand... His face A comfortable and satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The boy felt that he was wrapped in a thick layer of clothes, he was embraced by a warm embrace, and then he walked very quickly...

He struggled to see who that person was, but he had no strength left, maybe he was about to die.

The boy wasn't scared at all, and even a little happy.It wasn't the first time he was about to die, and he almost lost count of the number of times.

But he was very lucky this time, and he met someone who was willing to give him warmth. He felt that even death was worth it!

He didn't know where he was, he seemed to smell the smell of disinfectant, and there were countless lights shining on his eyelids.

He didn't know what to do, but the warm embrace was gone, he was in a hurry, he had no strength and began to struggle.

He seemed to hear footsteps walking farther and farther away, and he wanted to scream loudly, but his voice had long been hoarse, no matter how wide his mouth was opened, he could not make any sound, and he could even feel the silent roar too loudly bloody to the throat.

It seemed that something sharp had pierced his body, and he fell into a coma.

When he woke up, he was on a hospital bed. The sheets were very white. The boy was startled, afraid that he would stain the sheets.

Then he saw a man in a white coat, trembling and terrified.

He didn't dare to move and asked the other party to change the medicine for him.He was very afraid of the person in the white coat, because his rival who robbed the garbage dump with him before was caught in a car by such a person and disappeared from there.

But the hospital was full of people like this, and he was so nervous that he didn't dare to make any sound.

After the doctor examined him, he sneaked away from the hospital without anyone noticing.

He was covered with gauze and it hurt a little, but it was okay, he was used to it.

He sat on the side of the street, staring at a head of shaggy hair, dark blue eyes looking around.

Where is that man?Why can't he find it no matter how hard he looks?

He does nothing, searches aimlessly in this city every day, and his big eyes are always looking in the crowd.

His clothes were getting worse and worse, and he was getting dirtier.Because there were too many beggars in this area, he couldn't find food in the trash can, and gradually he was so hungry that he couldn't straighten up.

Until later, he found a piece of raw meat in the trash can, and ate it under the booing of beggars around him.

The meat seemed to be rotten and had a strange smell.He didn't feel right, but suddenly a beggar patted him on the shoulder and said to him, "Does it smell a bit strange?"

He nodded, and the beggar smiled at him mysteriously: "Do you still remember the man with the incomplete body on the street a few days ago? Guess why it was incomplete?"

At this moment, the boy's eyes widened suddenly, and he vomited until he was dizzy.

He vomited, vomited, and felt nauseous when he saw meat, especially the texture, which scared him so much that he couldn't sleep all day and all night.

Later, someone laughed at him: "The one who lied to you was a piece of ordinary animal meat. Do you really take it seriously? You fool, why are you so easy to deceive?"

Even though the little boy knew the truth, he couldn't eat meat anymore, to be precise, he couldn't eat animal meat.

He hadn't eaten for a long time, and he was so hungry that he leaned against the side of the street holding a broken bowl.However, although the people here are rich, they are very cold-hearted, even if it is for dogs, they are not willing to feed them such beggars.

Maybe I'm going to die again...

He leaned against the wall, staring blankly at the sky.

At this moment, a bowl of porridge was suddenly poured into the bowl. It was so hot that it looked like it hadn't been eaten before.

The smell of the food stimulated the boy's taste buds, it was really fragrant...

But for a boy, the smell of food is not as good as the smell of the person in front of him. He raised his head in surprise and saw the man in Tang suit with a calm face.

The man held an empty bowl in his hand, and there were still residues of porridge in the bowl.After noticing his gaze, the man lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Drink quickly, be careful not to get cold."

The boy picked up the bowl, but kept his eyes on the man. He smelled the porridge and looked at the man blankly: "It smells so good..."

He found it, thankfully he didn't forget the taste...

After Lin Yuan left, he quietly followed her.Wherever the other party goes, he will follow.

At night, when Lin Yuan fell asleep, he leaned against the wall next to Lin Yuan and squinted happily.

With a round bun face and fluffy hair, he is always doing various things quietly.

Finally one day, he was discovered by Lin Yuan, and his collar was lifted up, and Lin Yuan looked at his big "innocent" eyes face to face.

"Even if you follow me, I won't want you."

The boy raised his hair, his big eyes twinkled: "Why?"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "I don't have money, I can't afford it."

Unexpectedly, the boy just laughed, and he proudly said: "It's okay, I can support you..."

"Nonsense."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, the boy wanted to hold his hand and let him go with him.

However, when he turned his head and saw the other party's white clothes and clean hands, his eyes darkened, and he quietly retracted his hands.

In order not to look abrupt, there was still a forced smile on the corner of his mouth: "Come with me, I don't know if you are still here?!"

The old housekeeper felt that Linyuan's behavior was purely coaxing the children, and he disapproved of it, but he followed him helplessly.

They went back to the slum at the beginning, the boy led him quietly, and walked to a very large garbage dump.

In front of everyone, the boy climbed onto the garbage dump and raised his head proudly: "Look, this is my territory! You can take whatever you like, you're welcome, I'll support you!"

This is all his belongings, all displayed in front of Lin Yuan at once.

However, the audience fell into dead silence. After a few seconds, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."

The rest of the people reacted and quickly applauded.

Only then did the boy realize that something was wrong. He looked at his dirty hands and tattered clothes, and then at the bright and beautiful group of people opposite him...

A natural moat had been set in the boy's heart, the corners of his mouth moved, his eyes froze, and he smiled.

Before he left, he seemed to hear the kid who robbed him of the garbage dump not far away laughing at him.

"Look at him, why is he so stupid? What is his identity, what is his identity? Returning to the garbage dump, it's really embarrassing!"

Hearing this sentence, he instantly lost his ability to think, and ran over to wrestle with the group of children.

By the time Linyuan found him, the children had already been beaten out of blood.

Especially the boy, his injury was the heaviest, and his eyes were more ruthless, staring at other people like a wolf.He was obviously injured, but he laughed extraordinarily wildly.

How could a child have such an expression?

Everyone shuddered, especially the old housekeeper. He suddenly thought of a rumor in the circle.

A wealthy family in the imperial capital came here to look for business opportunities, accidentally saved a poor child on the side of the road, and adopted him as a foster son.As a result, when the child grew up, he directly killed his adoptive parents and occupied their family property, and it was not discovered until several months after the incident.

It was later identified that the child had psychological problems, which had even reached a serious level.

This incident once caused an uproar in the imperial capital, and later the powerful family investigated it out of curiosity.

Only then did they discover that most of the waifs in Sudense had psychological problems.Even not only the imperial capital, other people picked up the children here, and most of them would have a major impact on the family.

The old butler had heard the rumor, and Lin Yuan had heard it too. His expression was normal, but the old butler's expression changed.

He told Linyuan to leave quickly, and it was best to ignore the child.

Linyuan said goodbye to the boy, and then left slowly.

The boy stood there for a long time watching their leaving backs, and finally realized that he ran crazily.

However, it did not catch up after all...

Fortunately, when he found Linyuan, the other party was still there.

He stood at the door with pale lips, Linyuan knew his arrival, sat in the room for a long time, finally came out and put a piece of clothing on him.

Warm clothes covered his dirty body, and it got dirty after a while.

Linyuan gave him some food and money, then turned around and went back.

From then on, wherever Linyuan went, he still quietly followed.Every time he could see the disapproving look in the old butler's eyes, he shrank his head and looked at the mole in the corner of the other's eyes, a little terrified.

He knew that everyone disliked him, and he no longer dared to appear in people's sight, only dared to follow quietly.

Once, he was limping along with a broken leg, and a tall figure looked down on him.

The other party asked in an unclear tone: "What's wrong with the leg?"

His hair trembled: "It's broken."

He felt that the opponent's air pressure was lower and he was a little nervous.He knows that adults like cute children, and he is not cute if his leg is broken.

In order to make the other party happy, he deliberately opened his eyes and said, "It's okay, it's nothing at all! I often break bones, and I can still run..."

He was sweating coldly, and forced to walk in front of the walking face, but he was picked up by the other party before he walked a few steps, and was patted a few times.

"You little fool..." The other party became a little hoarse.

He was taken to hospital with a thick cast on his leg.

Later, when he heard that those who injured him were sent to prison by Linyuan, he laughed very happily at that time.

Because in the hospital, he was afraid that he would not see Linyuan, so he had to go back every day even if he limped.

Even if Linyuan made more people look at him, he was still able to escape and return to the window to take a look at him.

Every day he asked Lin Yuan a question: "Will I still see you tomorrow?"

Lin Yuan said: "Yes."

However, as he stayed for a long time, he had more and more problems.

For example, a servant accidentally knocked over the cup, and the water splashed on Linyuan. The boy grabbed the surrounding things like crazy and planned to hit the servant.

Fortunately, he was stopped in time. The old butler stood above and looked down at the boy, and the boy also looked at the old butler.

In the end, the old butler couldn't help but said, "Let's forget it..."

The boy's eyes were instantly like those of a wolf, eager to go up and bite him a few times.

Everyone fell into deep thought, the boy's behavior was not a normal person at all.

The boy's legs are almost good, but the longer he stays, the more inferior he becomes.

Not to mention Linyuan, even a waiter is more temperamental than he looks, and the light of the upper class illuminates him even more humble.

He didn't dare to get close to Linyuan, no matter how much he liked it, he didn't dare to touch it with his hands.

The children of others are picked up by adults, and they play various musical instruments and talents from elementary school.He's just a little trash who doesn't know anything...

Then one day, Linyuan's opponent finally figured out what he was doing, and found a large group of people to attack him on a dark, deserted street.

The scene was extremely chaotic, and even prohibited weapons appeared.There are muffled sounds and screams of people everywhere, and all kinds of struggles are unfolding in this small place.

Fortunately, there were more people in Linyuan, and they finally suppressed each other.On the other side, Linyuan called the police, and everyone was waiting here for the police to arrive.

The boy leaned against the pole and watched without blinking...

Until suddenly, behind Lin Yuan, a person who had fallen down took a knife and planned to stab Lin Yuan.

The boy's pupils narrowed sharply, and he ran outside quickly.The moment he knew how to stab, he stood in front of Linyuan.

The blade pierced the bone, and the boy seemed unconscious.At this time, everyone reacted, and quickly planned to suppress...

Unexpectedly, the boy picked up a stone from nowhere and threw it down.

The wound on his back was bleeding all the time, but he smiled distortedly: "I let you kill him, I let you touch him! You bastard, you deserve to die..."

The others couldn't pull it away no matter how hard they pulled, he bit on that person like crazy.

Finally, he was pulled away, and his mouth was full of blood.He retched while retching the smell of nausea, staring at the man tightly with bloody eyes.

The old butler looked at the child with more and more complicated eyes as if he had been poured over by an ice bucket...

The ambulance also came, and the boy was sent to the hospital while struggling. Before leaving, he grabbed Lin Yuan's hand and kept asking like a sick man, "You will wait for me tomorrow, right?"

The business has been completely dealt with, and tomorrow is the time to return home.

The boy trembled and continued to ask: "Will you still wait for me tomorrow?"

Linyuan said nothing, and finally the child was sent to the ambulance crying bitterly.

When he came to this familiar house the next day...it was already empty.

The boy stood there blankly as if he had been hollowed out, when a gust of wind blew, he... remained motionless.

……

After the old butler finished telling the story, his eyes were a little melancholy.

Qin Jin laughed even deeper, making it impossible to understand at all.

He shook the bottle and took another sip, then heard the old butler say, "It's been 15 years, and I don't know what happened to that child..."

Qin Jin lowered his head and smiled: "It's been so many years, maybe he's dead already."

The old housekeeper murmured, "He is dead."

When Qin Jin's hand inadvertently touched the blade of the cuff, he heard the old housekeeper continue.

"I heard that you have been to Linyuan's house, but there is actually a special room inside..."

"Huh?" Qin Jin raised his head and looked at the old butler with a little doubt in his eyes.

The old housekeeper's eyes were a bit complicated: "You may not believe it, but in such a style of house, there is a completely different room."

"...how is it so different?"

The old butler stroked his chin and recalled: "You know, Linyuan itself is relatively mature. But that room is decorated by young people, with all kinds of popular posters pasted inside, which are the favorite of young people nowadays. There are also There are various styles of clothes, from children to adults, which are the most popular styles every year...”

Qin Jin's hands stopped, and his eyes were also dazed...

"He's been building a house for that kid back then. He's been preparing..."

"You may not know that many people want to be his stepson, and naively think that they have this possibility. But Lin Yuan already has the appearance of a stepson in his mind..."

Qin Jin raised his head: "Where is that person?"

"Human?" The old housekeeper sneered, "He's already dead..."

"When Linyuan just returned to China to complete the handover, he regretted it and hurried back. When he returned, Sudens happened to have undergone a baptism...a criminal organization frantically killed street children, Most of the waifs died at the hands of that organization..."

"Lianyuan has been looking for it for a long time, and I have searched all over Sudense, but I can't find it..."

The old housekeeper finished these words in confusion, feeling a little tired, so he lay there to rest.

Qin Jin sat on the sofa for a long time, and finally stood up numbly.

He casually placed the knife in his cuff on a table, and he, who has always walked steadily, even walked a little wobbly.

He kept walking until he reached the darkest corner where no one was around, and it was extremely quiet there.

As if he couldn't hold it anymore, he leaned against the wall with one hand, lowered his head, and grabbed his heart through his clothes with the other hand.

His hands were getting stronger and stronger, and the tendons in his hands were clearly visible.

His eyes opened wider and wider, the fundus of his eyes was bloodshot, and the veins on his head were bulging.

After a while, he gradually returned to silence, just staring blankly at the ground, and then a tear fell on the floor.

The author has something to say: From morning to afternoon, I tore up half a roll of toilet paper and cried like a dog.
