brand on heart

When I woke up the next day, I saw that the bitten wrist exposed outside the quilt was wrapped in gauze, and Yan Yan was standing in front of the full-length mirror, arranging his clothes. Seeing him sitting up, he said, "I'm going to the capital today to see if there are any wounds left." Another way."

Meng Yun rubbed his eyes and nodded.

"Also, there is no need to transfer the money for the time being. It may not be useful." I didn't finish the rest of the sentence. It is estimated that the current situation is no longer a problem that can be solved with money.

Meng Yun got out of bed. Last night, the trouble lasted until midnight, and his waist was a little sore.

Strictly put on his tie, turned around and walked in front of him, tilted his head and kissed him, "You are here alone, be careful in everything, Gu Yiming and Dou's family are not easy to get along with. Wait for me to come back."

Meng Yun stroked his shaved chin with his slender fingers, his eyes were deep and unpredictable, "Li Jun, do you love me?"

Yan Yan didn't even think about it, nodded, "Yeah!"

Meng Yun showed a faint smile and said, "Be careful on the road." After speaking, he walked around him to the bathroom.

Sternly hugging him from behind, he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry for the past."

As if not understanding what he was apologizing for, Meng Yun patted the back of his hand impatiently, pulled his hand away and walked into the bathroom.

Strictly stood there alone for a while in a daze before picking up the suitcase by the door and going out.

After getting in the car, I finally called to notify the other side, "The operation is cancelled, and I will stand by where I am. I will talk to Boss Gu in person."

Even though there is an abyss under his feet now, he doesn't want to turn back. Who is this road? He chose it at the beginning.

Upstairs, Meng Yun looked at the mirror in front of him. The faucet was running in the sink, and there was a splashing sound in his ears. The gauze on his wrist was soaked with water and he didn't pay attention.

The person in the mirror has a pair of hateful eyes, the eyes are red, and the corners of the eyes are bloodshot, as if blood may flow out at any time.

Suddenly, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and a vicious sneer appeared on his face.

Feel sorry? !

An apology can ruin someone's life and make a fresh life disappear from the world!

Meng Yun suddenly felt that the person in the mirror was hideous, and felt disgusted in his heart, so he punched the mirror, and the complete mirror surface was shattered in an instant, and his fist was dripping with blood.

Feeling almost no pain, he brought his hand to his mouth and stuck out his tongue to lick the dripping blood. The sweet taste filled his mouth. Meng Yun closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Don't worry, hurry up!

It's almost the end!

But wait for me——

The news of Yan Shixun's suicide came from the capital two days after Yan Jun left.

With the in-depth digging and tracking of the ledger by the Disciplinary Inspection Commission, more and more evidence emerged, and Yan Shixun had no choice but to commit suicide in order to protect his family.

The Gu family, having received Gu Liancheng's distress message, is doing their best to search.

However, at this time, Li Lian finally ignored Gu Yiming's warning and recalled Gu Chengxi back to the country.

Mu Qing had a car accident for the second time.

Without informing Shiyan, he can't be stimulated now.

When Meng Yun went to see him in the hospital, he just woke up from a coma.

Mu Qing has always maintained close contact with Liang Chuan and Meng Yun. The Gu family has suffered heavy losses in the past few months, whether they are in traditional industries or emerging industries. The Dou family is also in the quagmire because they were on the wrong team two years ago. The Gu family had no choice but to start with the Mu family and force the Song family and the Xin family to express their views.

"How do you feel?" Meng Yun asked as he sat down by the hospital bed.

Mu Qing coughed twice, scolded his mother in pain, and said, "It's okay. Let me tell you, why didn't Gu Yiming come to you? I always took advantage of you."

"Who told you to ruin his [-] million investment project." Meng Yun replied angrily.

"Is that what I did? I'm just a boy, a waiter. Doesn't he know who's the real boss? He's looking for something to do with me." Mu Qing was so angry that he took out his phone and muttered, "Damn it, I won't be able to go back to see my wife for a few days. Meng Yun, after the incident is over, the mental damage fee and work-related lost work fee will not be less."

Meng Yun lit a cigarette, looked at him coldly, "I can't do without you."

Mu Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes, "At any rate, I charged and died for you, so why don't you respect my status as a patient?"

Meng Yun pointed to the mobile phone in his hand, "Stop talking nonsense, the call is through."

"Ah!" Mu Qing picked up the phone and immediately turned into a little daughter-in-law, "Honey, I'm going on a business trip to the United States for five days, and I won't be able to come back for a few days. Be careful at home and don't go out casually."

"By the way, I'm going to inspect the factory over there. The confidentiality requirements are relatively high. No video, only phone calls."

"Okay, I know, I'll ask Secretary Dong to go home to pick up the luggage later, and you can ask the servant to clean it up for me, don't do it yourself."

"Yeah, you too, give me a kiss on Little Mumu and Little Yezi, I'll be back as soon as possible. Cough cough——"

"Ah, no, I didn't catch a cold, I just choked on drinking water. That's it, I'll call you tomorrow, wife."

After hanging up the phone reluctantly, Mu Qing glared at Meng Yun with resentful eyes, "I said, when will that scumbag come back? Damn it, I really can't help but want to do something to the Gu family."

"Hurry up, be careful over there, we don't want to make big moves recently." Meng Yun threw the cigarette butt into the simple ashtray and put it in his pocket after smoking, and stood up, "I will send more people over here for your security— —”

"No, my cousin's lover brought someone here in person." Mu Qing lay down on his back and waved, "You can bring more people yourself. The Gu family didn't do anything to you before, probably because they were suppressed by Strict Jun. Now his father If you die, I'm afraid I won't be soft on you again."

Meng Yun nodded, "I have a sense of proportion, you should rest well, and I will come to see you another day."

"Don't, it's nothing. Let's not see the king." It's simply disgusting to see each other, why bother to make trouble for yourself, Mu Qing waved his hands in disgust.

"It's up to you." Meng Yun didn't force it, and closed the door.

Mu Qing lay on the bed and said to himself, "Grandpa is really a soft persimmon, his grandma's, except my wife, who the hell dares to pinch me, grandpa, I will crush your ass, ass!"

After speaking, he turned over and sat up and started to make a phone call.

After Meng Yun came out of the hospital, he went directly to the airport. Yan Jun took his father's ashes back to Binhai today.

The plane arrived at eight o'clock in the evening.

Yan Jun came out of the airport, dressed in a black suit, holding an urn in his arms, emotionally stable, and said hoarsely after seeing Meng Yun, "I want to take Dad back."

"I'll accompany you home." Meng Yun said looking at his haggard face.

Strictly nodded.

On the way back, Yan Yan leaned heavily on Meng Yun, and no one spoke. The urn in his arms made the atmosphere heavy and depressing.

Back at Yan's house, the house was pale inside and out, Yan Xiaoyu and Yan Xifan were standing at the door supported by their uncle.

Surrounded by the crowd, Strictly Entered the auditorium carrying the urn and placed the box on the mourning hall.

Yan Xiaoyu and Yan Xifan lay on the mourning hall crying hoarsely, and the monks sitting on the two sides who were performing ceremonies were like envoys of compassion, closing their eyes and chanting the scriptures on how to save the dead.

With Meng Yun's support, Yan Yanjun knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his father three times, then got up and asked around, "Where's mother?"

"After hearing the news, Madam cried and passed out several times, and is now resting in her room."

"I'll go and see her." Strictly cheered up and said to several uncles, "Second Uncle, please take care of her for a while."

Several uncles nodded and comforted: "Li Jun, don't be sad, you still have your mother and two younger siblings, don't fall down."

Strictly nodding, he walked out with Meng Yun.

The main building is some distance away from the auditorium. After coming out, Yan Yan was stopped by the sudden cold wind. He turned his head and saw that the redbud and sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in the house were covered with flowers at this time, and they were in full bloom. The dark fragrance floats.

Meng Yun stood behind him silently.

Yan Yan looked up at the flowers and trees for a while before saying: "Let's go."

The main building is a European-style residence. After passing through the marble pillars, the old servants of the family came out and wiped away tears when they saw the strictness, "Mr. is back?"

Strictly embraced her, "I'm back, Mom. Where's my mother?"

"In the room, don't let us accompany her. The tears haven't stopped in the past few days. You should accompany her well."

Patted her on the back, helped the old man to the sofa and sat down, "I'll go up to see her, Mom, don't cry, it hurts your eyes."

Grandma just kept wiping her tears, "Don't worry about me, go quickly, Madam has been waiting for you."

Before going upstairs, Meng Yun stopped and looked back at the pale lanterns hanging under the eaves, his heart was still numb.

Strictly didn't wait for him, and went straight upstairs.

Yan Shixun was a person who paid attention to elegance when he was alive. There were sculptures and oil paintings everywhere in the house. Yan Shixun walked quickly through the corridor to the door and knocked on the door.

No one came to answer the door, and after waiting for a while, he opened the door and walked in.

It's late autumn now, and the hot and dry weather in the coastal area is getting a bit cooler at night. Yan Yan walked through the small hall outside the bedroom, opened the door and walked into the bedroom.

Before I came, I turned on the light in a hurry, the room was dark, the windows of the room were not closed, and the cool autumn wind passed through the hall, lifting the window curtains and flying, making the figure hanging under the window look weird and desolate.

"mom!"

With a scream, Yan Yan rushed over to pick up the person who didn't know when he was hung up, his legs were already cold.

A shrill cry echoed throughout the house.

"mom, Mom, Mom!!"

Meng Yun followed, found a chair and pushed it over, stood up and took the person off the bed sheet hanging on the curtain rack.

The faces of the hanged people are extremely terrifying.

Meng Yun shivered when he touched the cold skin.

Yan Yanjun knelt on the ground and wept bitterly while hugging the person who had died a long time ago. Meng Yun retreated and leaned against the wall in fright amidst the ear-piercing crying.

Suddenly, Yan Yan, who was crying bitterly, raised his head and looked at him with hatred, "Are you satisfied now? Meng Yun, are you satisfied now? Or do you have to be buried with me to be satisfied? Ah?!"

Meng Yun's face was pale, looking at him, speechless.

Not long after, other relatives in the house who heard the movement rushed over, and Yan Yan did not seek Meng Yun's figure in the chaos.

Meng Yun left Yan's house in a daze.

On the way back, I called Shiyan, and there was the sound of children laughing and fighting on the phone, and suddenly the guilt that almost burned my mind disappeared.

His Keqing died so bleakly, all these people will be buried with him!

"Hey, Meng Yun, it's so late, are you still off work?"

When Shi Yan's gentle and peaceful voice came over the phone, Meng Yun's heart calmed down, he raised his hand to cover his chest, and said, "Shi Yan, Strict Jun's parents, are both dead."

"Really?" Shi Yan paused before answering, and asked, "Where are you, Meng Yun? Don't be sad."

"No, I'm not sad. It's just that I can't be happy. I made him suffer so much, but I didn't get comfort at all." Looking at the light and shadow outside the window, Meng Yun said.

Shi Yan didn't know how to comfort him, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to come and accompany you?"

"No, I just want to hear your voice. Shiyan, do you still remember Keqing's appearance?" Meng Yun said quietly.

"I remember. He has a dimple on the left side of his face. He loves to smile and is carefree."

Meng Yun smiled and took over the conversation, "He has a mole on his right earlobe. He always complains that he is not mature enough. He likes to watch documentaries and eat small wontons. The wonton noodles he makes are delicious. Look, he is still so fresh. Live in our memory."

"I don't understand why life has to be so cruel to us, to him. We've never done anything bad."

The night was dark, and in Meng Yun's eyes, the more than 2000 days and nights of losing Jiang Keqing had never been dawn.

"Don't be sad, Meng Yun." Meng Yun didn't cry, but Shi Yan on the other end helped him cry.

But Qing is the blood in his heart, and Shi Yan is in his heart, heart!

"Shiyan, don't cry, be careful with the child." Meng Yun stopped recalling the past and said pitifully.

"Okay. I'll go to your place tomorrow, and take a look at grandma and Mr. Zheng." Shi Yan said, holding back her tears.

"Yeah. Shiyan, thank you for being here."

Soon after the funeral of Yan's family, Yan Yan was put on file for investigation because he was also involved in his father's case, but news leaked that when the police arrived, he had already left and was temporarily missing.

At the same time, Gu Chengxi returned from the United States and disappeared after leaving the airport. That night, a major traffic accident occurred in a certain area of ​​Binhai West District, causing several deaths and hundreds of injuries.

While the Gu family broke out about money laundering the next day, they also had the reputation of Lao Lai. The 100 billion bond funds owed by the group company could not be repaid to investors. The stock price fell by the limit for 20 consecutive days, and the market value evaporated by nearly [-] billion.

However, Changhe and Jinghua did not stop their encirclement and suppression. Its subsidiary Xinye was acquired by Changhe, several overseas companies were merged by Jinghua, and the Dou family, which had a large number of business contacts with it, also reported a debt crisis.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and the situation changes suddenly.

Gu Chengxi said that after leaving the airport, he encountered two gangs, fighting, got involved in it, was kidnapped to an unknown place, half a month later had his hands and feet broken and thrown in front of the Gu family mansion.

Even though he was seriously injured, he was still under supervision for money laundering and illegal fundraising.

Gu Yiming, the head of the Gu family, was restricted from high consumption and leaving the country.

Less than a year after Meng Yun's return, the Gu family has become precarious.

At the end of the year, on Christmas Eve, when Shi Yan was about to give birth, Mu Qing wanted to be admitted to the hospital earlier to avoid any accidents, so Shi Yan began to pack her and her baby's clothes.

While walking in the garden after dinner in the afternoon, I received a call from Meng Yun.

After school, Xiao Mumu was going to the Song family's old house to attend class. Mu Qing hadn't gotten off work yet, so Shi Yan was a bit bored.

"Meng Yun, I was just about to call you. I'm coming over for dinner tonight. I'm going to the hospital the day after tomorrow. I don't have time to pack up tomorrow."

Flicking the small potted plant in front of her with her fingers, Shi Yan stood on the terrace looking at the sea in the distance, and said.

It is a warm winter in Binhai this year, and the flowers in the garden have begun to hang buds early, and it is estimated that they will bloom in a few days.

"Okay, I'll stay at your place tonight, and I'll help you move your things to the hospital tomorrow."

Meng Yun said in a relaxed tone.

"okay."

"By the way, Shi Yan, I never asked," Meng Yun paused and continued, "But did you send Qing's ashes back to his family?"

Shi Yan's heart tightened, and she shook her head, "No, it's in the previous apartment, why?"

"Can you help me get it? I want to take him home after the matter is over." Whether it is Yan Jun, Gu Chengxi, the Yan family or the Gu family, the ending is already doomed. Meng Yun endured the humiliation for six years, and he will never let them live. Opportunity!

Shi Yan felt uneasy in her heart, and said, "Okay." After finishing speaking, she added: "Meng Yun, you and I, Mu Mu, grandma and Mr. Zheng, we will be with you, promise me, don't worry about it. "

"...Shi Yan, I miss him very much." Meng Yun's voice on the phone was quiet and sad.

"We will all remember him, Meng Yun, grandma, me, and you, Mu Qing, we will all remember him." Shi Yan reluctantly persuaded.

Meng Yun smiled, "Well, I know."

"The ashes, I'll go get them later, I'm afraid I won't have time in the future." Shi Yan said.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you, I'll pick you up after get off work."

"No, you and Mu Qing can go home directly, maybe I will come back before you."

Shi Yan said with a smile, walking towards the door.

There is no traffic jam at this time, more than an hour has passed, and it is very fast.

There are still two bodyguard cars accompanying, one in front and one behind.

The weather was fine, and Yan kept talking to the baby in her belly on the road, telling him about the flowers and trees along the road, and the little thing moved occasionally, as if responding to his words.

This place, except for sending Mu Qing back last year, Shi Yan has never been here again, and the changes have not changed much, but the various trees and flowers planted in the community are already graceful and graceful, and the road is covered with fallen redbud petals.

Two bodyguards were left downstairs, and the other two followed him upstairs.

The fingerprint and password for opening the door have not changed, Shiyan opened the door and walked into the house.

There is no peculiar smell and dusty smell, it should be that Mu Qing has arranged for someone to clean it regularly.

During the year spent here, most of the time was pleasant and happy. After Shi Yan missed looking around, he went to the room where Meng Yun and the others lived when they came to play. Jiang Keqing's ashes were placed in the cabinet of the room .

Next to the urn was a red velvet box, which Jiang Keqing bought the day before she committed suicide. Six years ago, Yan Yan saw it when she was helping to sort out the relics, so she brought it with her. She didn't open it and looked at it. It must be a pair of rings or something. something.

After all, at that time, they had long regarded each other as their lifelong partners.

Take out the urn and velvet box and put them on the coffee table in the living room. By the way, go to the room where Lu Wanyu lived before and take out Zhang Qiao's urn. The child has not come back for six years and has not been contacted. I don't know if he is now Where and how are you doing.

Wrap the two urns with cloth, and walk around the house twice before leaving with regret. Let’s stay here occasionally in the future. After all, this is the place where everything started, and there are many things worth visiting. something to remember.

Jiang Keqing's urn was held by herself, Zhang Qiao's urn was handed over to the bodyguard, and the three of them took the elevator downstairs together.

Because they didn't plan to stay for a long time, the car didn't park in the underground parking lot. The few bodyguards who stayed behind saw them get down, and got out of the car and opened the door.

Originally, the security of the community was very strict, and with Shi Yan surrounded by many bodyguards, everyone was more relaxed psychologically, so they didn't notice the person who suddenly rushed out from behind the flower bed statue.

Shi Yan had just driven down the steps at that time, the bodyguard behind did not keep up, and the bodyguard in front did not greet him, so someone took advantage of the loophole.

Almost knocked down by the force of the opponent's attack, Shi Yan let go of his hands to protect his stomach, and Jiang Keqing's urn rolled to the ground.

A cold dagger lay across his neck.

"do not move!"

The voice in the ear threatened, "Let the bodyguards in the car get down and hand over the car keys!"

It's strict!

Shi Yan was afraid of scaring the child in her belly, so she tried to remain calm and asked the bodyguard to follow the words of the people behind her.

Then Strictly dragged him into the car and threatened the bodyguards outside, "If I follow, I will kill him, one dead body and two lives, you better think clearly!"

The faces of the five bodyguards were livid, and they could only watch helplessly as he drove the car away.

Before Shi Yan left, he lay on the car window and shouted to the bodyguard: "Send the urn back, tell Mu Qing, I'll wait for him!"

There is nothing to be afraid of, Mu Qing and Meng Yun will definitely save him.

What I can do now is try not to resist and protect myself and my children.
