In waking up, the world is far away.I need the wildest wind and the quietest sea.

———Gu Cheng

The sea was calm and there was no wind.

The waves slapped the hull in clusters, and the sun illuminated the deck, shining brightly with white light.The side of the ship is painted with bright red paint, which complements the blue sea and complements each other.

"Boss Xue, that kid hasn't woken up yet." A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks bent down and said to the person in front of him.

"Don't worry, everyone has got it, and there is plenty of time to play with him."

It's a very spacious room, but it feels very cramped to be in it.The walls are pasted with dark purple wallpaper, with the complicated dark patterns often seen on medieval European buildings.Underfoot is a deep red carpet, surrounded by black fine thread embroidery in the same style as the wallpaper.A dim crystal lamp hangs above the head, and the dim light refracts repeatedly through the thin glass, casting a halo on the carpet.In the center of this halo is a leather sofa wrapped in black velvet cloth, and a hand-woven dark purple fringed blanket is spread on the sofa.

The person on the sofa had his legs crossed, making eye circles one after another leisurely under the dim light.

"Mr. Xue, lunch is ready."

The person on the sofa put the cigar in his hand into the ashtray, stood up and walked out of the room.This man was tall and straight, and the dark suit he wore perfectly outlined his figure.The custom-made leather shoes echoed calmly on the marble floor of the corridor.

The man came to another door, and the maid behind him opened the door for him.

The overall decoration style of the restaurant is a bit different from the layout of the living room just now. A floor-to-ceiling glass window surrounds the entire restaurant, and through the glass window, thousands of seabed scenes can be seen.There was no light in the room, only a silver candlestick on the dining table was shining brightly.

He sat down gracefully, put a napkin on his slender but gray neck due to lack of blood, picked up a knife and fork that had been wiped clean and began to eat.

The candlelight reflected on the man's stern face, thin and pale.On the slender finger was a silver ring imprinted with a totem, which shone coldly with the light trembling of the flames.

The man finished eating gracefully, and the maid next to him brought a handkerchief, and he wiped his mouth, stood up and left.

"What would you like to drink today?" The old butler who had been following him bent over and asked.

"same as usual."

The man turned back to the reception room, sat on the sofa, and a glass of Romanee-Conti was brought to him immediately. The dark red wine was like a withered rose, reflecting the color of blood.

The pale palm and the deep red color of the wine formed a stark contrast, like a vampire holding blood and preparing to drink it up.

Before Liu Yao could open his eyes in time, he was the first to feel the pain of being crushed by the tank all over his body.He could feel the blood marks on his body from being strangled by the thick hemp rope and the bruises from repeatedly hitting something hard on his head.

Liu Yao slowly opened his eyes, there was only blackness in front of his eyes, and no light entered his eyes.He blinked hard again, but still couldn't see.

He wasn't sure if he couldn't see or was blind.He was lying on the cold ground with his limbs fixed behind his back and trembling all over.

He tentatively called out, "Hi!"

Another voice rustled in the darkness: "Are you awake?"

Liu Yao was taken aback, and desperately suppressed his excitement: "Who are you?"

The voice in the darkness rang again: "Just like you, a good man who was kidnapped."

"Boss Xue, that kid is awake." The sharp-billed monkey came in to report.

"Oh?" The man had a playful expression on his face, "Send him in."

The door of the small black room was opened a crack, emitting a beam of somewhat dazzling light.Only then did Liu Yao confirm that he was not blind.A burly man carried Liu Yao out without saying a word.Liu Yao was picked up with his head upside down, as if he was carrying a kitten or puppy.

Liu Yao could only see the black marble veins extending forward on the ground, then turned a corner, entered a door, and was thrown hard on a deep red carpet.

Liu Yao was just tied up and thrown at the man's feet, Liu Yao could only see a pair of polished leather shoes with Erlang's legs crossed in front of his eyes.

Smelling the smell of alcohol in the air, Liu Yao felt sick again in his stomach, and vomited on the man's shoe with a wow sound.

"Look up," the man said, "look at me." His tone was full of contempt.

"Let me go!" Liu Yao collapsed on the ground.

The man on the sofa waved his bony hand to the side, and the burly man let go of Liu Yao.

It took a lot of effort for Liu Yao to stand up from the ground, and there was no pain in any part of his body.

"Who are you?" Liu Yao questioned.

"Oh, Xiao Yao, you don't even remember me? How did you get your mobile phone, you haven't forgotten, right?" the man chuckled.

Liu Yao just remembered that the man in front of him was Liu Zhengze's friend, Xue Jian who gave him the phone!

"I didn't expect it's been a long time. Uncle Xue is such a dog." Liu Yao replied mockingly.

"Father went to jail, and mother committed suicide. Xiaoyao is alone, isn't it easy?" The man was not angry, but just pierced Liu Yao's heart bit by bit with words like an awl.

"Hey, the world is so cold. I think your dad and I were best friends back then. He was so powerful in the industry, at least half of my credit is due to him. Later, your dad was still stupid. If you don’t want to make a lot of money, you have to do it. Engage in charity. Those African guys who were rescued by him, which ones are thinking about him? Why don’t you give me the money and wait for the dividends.”

The man sat on the sofa, talking about his past amidst the smoke.From his words, Liu Yao has already guessed a general idea: what project this person is investing in requires a lot of money.

"You are just a small pawn, but as long as you are alive, you have infinite value."

Liu Yao knew that at this time, he couldn't confront this Xue Jian head-on.He wants to know more news, wait

Move accordingly.

"I need to modify you a little bit in exchange for the chips in Liu Zhengze's hand." The male

The man smiled wickedly and snapped his fingers. A man wearing a mask and a white coat walked in with a syringe in his hand.

The burly man held Liu Yao down, and the white coat plunged the syringe into Liu Yao's blood vessel, pushing the transparent liquid into Liu Yao's body.Liu Yao couldn't break free, and watched the unknown medicine being injected into his body.Liu Yao only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and his vision became darker and darker, and finally he lost consciousness.

Liu Yao fainted directly because the medicine was too strong.

When Liu Yao woke up, he found that he was locked in that small dark room again.His body was still a little numb, he opened his mouth and shouted again, wondering if the person who claimed to be a good person before was still there.

"Hey!"

"Are you awake?" said the good man.

"Who are you?" Liu Yao straight to the point.

"That's a long story."

"Then keep the story short."

"You child, just like your father." The old man laughed twice.

"Your father and I have a lifelong friendship. I am a businessman just like your father. Later, when I encountered a telecom fraud, my life was as if I had just come out of the mother's womb. It was clean. My mother was ill. I couldn't make up enough money for the operation, and my wife gave birth. At that time, I was about to get rid of all my worries. Fortunately, I met your father back then. Your father and I have a lifelong friendship. If he asked me to dig out my heart I didn't hesitate to come out."

"You are Uncle Sheng?" Liu Yao knew this person, and Liu Zhengze always liked to call him Lao Sheng when he was on the phone in the study.

"Exactly." Sheng Yuan replied.

"When were you imprisoned here?" Liu Yao continued to ask.

"It can be more than a month, and I still listen to what they tell me when your father is in prison."

What Sheng Yuan said, they should be referring to Xue Jian.Liu Yao thought to himself.

"They locked me up here to extort my money, saw that I didn't let go and killed your father, and now they want to drag you in again, these unscrupulous scum!" Sheng Yuan was very angry, "They knew that I and I Your father's relationship, and now they want to capture you as a bargaining chip, they know that I can't just watch you die!"

Although it was so dark that Liu Shengyuan's face could not be seen, his voice should be that of a man about the same age as Liu Zhengze, with a thick and excited voice.

"What did they drag you out for?" Sheng Yuan asked.

"They... I don't remember much. I had an upset stomach and passed out later."

At this time, the door of the small black room opened, and two burly men came in, and took away the two people who were locked in the small black room.

It's that reception room again.

The man was still sitting on his sofa, crossing his legs and playing with the silver-gray cufflinks with his fingers, which shone eerily under the dim yellow light.

"Boss Sheng, we meet again." Xue Jian put on a half-smile.

"I haven't thought of anything that can impress you for a whole month, but it took me a lot of effort to get your good brother Liu Zhengze done."

"Don't think that I don't know the smallness in your heart." Sheng Yuan replied lightly

"Since Boss Sheng is so sensible, let's not talk about those twists and turns." Xue Jian put Erlang's legs down, straightened his back, and there was a little more expectation in his eyes, "I will take the life of Liu Zhengze's son with you. I don't know if it will work if you exchange all the property of your company after it is liquidated?"

As soon as Xue Jian finished speaking, Liu Yao was carried to a corner of the living room by a burly man. Xue Jian looked at Sheng Yuan who was sweating profusely with a smile.

"I don't know if this deal is fair?"

Sheng Yuan didn't speak, his face was already pale with fright, but he knew that Xue Jian couldn't kill Liu Yao.But he also knew that although beheading and Ling Chi both died, the process of going to death was completely different.

Seeing the burly man carrying the thin Liu Yao in his hand, it was like carrying a poor little creature, a little effort could kill him.

In the business world, anything can happen, but for the sake of money, life is worthless.

"Then as an investor, I think I have the right to ask." Sheng Yuan looked at Xue Jian, as if the tragedy beside him was not enough to impress him.

Xue Jian was a little surprised. He frowned, but he still smiled and said, "Excuse me."

"Even if you want to buy a real estate project in another province, you don't need such a big financial support. I don't know, which play are you singing?"

Sheng Yuan grasped the crux of the problem.As long as he knows the key to this problem, Liu Zhengze can be rescued from the prison, and Liu Yao's suffering here will not be in vain.

"It's similar to what Liu Zhengze did. People need medical treatment when they are physically sick, and they also need medical treatment if they are mentally ill. The current society is too mournful and needs to be replaced. Don't you think?" Xue Jian looked at Sheng Yuan with a smile.

"Don't think you are a savior. You are just a vampire who can't see the light." Sheng Yuan's words were resounding.

The smirk on Xue Jian's face froze, and his face became even paler.He stood up and patted his clothes, like flicking off the dust that didn't exist.

"Ah, it looks like we've lost our conversation again." Xue Jian walked out with strides.The burly man put Liu Yao down from the electric chair, and shut him back to the small dark room together with Sheng Yuan.

Sheng Yuan hugged Liu Yao who was unconscious, and his voice was almost broken before he called Liu Yao's soul back.

The current Liu Yao is like a sieve made of paper, which is slightly forced by the wind.
