Bamboo Horse Office

The car was driving fast on the road.

Jiang Nian and the others didn't stop long after they got the materials, and set off directly to go back. Jiang Nian drove the car when he came, and Wei Ming took his place when he went back.

Jiang Nian and Yu An were sitting in the back seat. Ever since Yu An saw that photo, he was in a bad state, but now is really not a good time to comfort him, because judging from his state, I am afraid that nothing can be done right now. If you can't listen to it, the first thing to do is to let him calm down and digest this matter by yourself.

The atmosphere in the car was dull and depressing. In fact, not only Yu An, but the others also needed to digest what they had heard today.

"Jiang Nian." Wei Ming, who was driving, called him, "Why did you promise Little Brown?"

The firm was co-founded by Jiang Nian and Wei Ming at the beginning, but Wei Ming didn't like to stay at home all the time, so the person in charge gradually became Jiang Nian. Faced with this change, Wei Ming was willing to accept it, but Jiang Nian's answer today really made him puzzled.

At this time, it is not a question, but a question of his thoughts.

"Little Brown has concealed some things, and these things may have something to do with us." Jiang Nian said, "Do you still remember the last time I was followed by someone? I thought it was my former enemy, but when I think about it carefully, just I can't even find Xiaoyan, I don't think I have ever messed with such a powerful person."

Wei Ming: "You now suspect it's Emmons?"

Jiang Nian: "Yes, I don't know what their purpose is, but it is a fact that they are being targeted. If Emmons really wants to deal with us, we also need a reliable helper."

Wei Ming: "Understood, getting rid of Emmons is a win-win cooperation for both of us."

Jiang Nian: "That's why I agreed to cooperate with him. As for the specific content of Little Brown's concealment, I haven't figured it out yet, but from the current point of view, there is no harm in our cooperation."

The conversation ended here, and the car fell into silence again.

Song Qingyu sat on the co-pilot, looked at Yu An worriedly through the rearview mirror.

Jiang Nian was also very distressed, because the worst scenario he imagined had already appeared, and it happened so unexpectedly.

Along the way, Yu An didn't say a word, and when he got back to the villa, he didn't even say hello, and went back to the room directly.

With Wei Ming and Song Qingyu around, he would naturally share the information he got with others. Jiang Nian was not worried about this.He followed Yu An back to the room. He couldn't open his eyes even though he hadn't slept all night, but Yu An just sat quietly on the sofa without saying a word, staring blankly at the floor. Think about something.

"Go to sleep for a while." Jiang Nian sat beside him, coaxing softly.

Yu An shook his head stiffly, "I can't sleep."

"Then I'll chat with you."

Jiang Nian knew that this incident had hit Yu An hard, so he talked about chatting, but he didn't know what to talk about. He was racking his brains to think of topics when he suddenly heard Yu An ask him, "What did I do?" Those dreams, those scenes that were painted, all happened in real life, right?"

"Correct."

"Then my parents...I'm not their own...and they seem to be related to the orphanage."

The parents who had raised him for more than 20 years suddenly became bloodless. Coupled with that photo, Yu An did not have the worst guesses in his heart, but he really couldn't accept that his parents might be labeled as "bad guys".

"It may not be what you think." Jiang Nian put his arms around his shoulders and let him lean on him, "Actually, Sister Shuyue found out when I went to your house during the Chinese New Year."

Yu An was taken aback.

He clearly remembered that Han Shuyue's mood was a little abnormal the day he first arrived home. He thought she was not used to it, but he didn't expect it to be this reason.

Jiang Nian continued: "At that time, there was a small dark room in the orphanage, which was used to detain disobedient children. Sister Shuyue... was imprisoned once. She didn't say what she suffered in it, but she has changed since then. Sensitive and afraid of human contact. And it was Auntie who saved her from there."

"My mother rescued her, and she remembered her appearance. During the Chinese New Year, she found out that the aunt of that year was actually my mother..."

Yu An's mind is muddled now, and it is very difficult to think about things, so he subconsciously repeats to try to remember more clearly.

"Yes."

"Then tell me about other things, I can't even remember."

Little Brown concealed something from them, and so did Jiang Nian, except for Emmons who really didn't know about it. He remembered clearly the details of the orphanage back then, and it wasn't like he said he didn't know anything about it.

"We are all orphans. It is said by the outside world that we are a group of sick children. Emmons' orphanage took us in. Apart from cooperating with their so-called treatment every day, we don't have much life with other children. difference."

"Thinking about it now, maybe in order to keep the brain active, they hired teachers to teach us all kinds of knowledge, and there was also time for outdoor activities. My little brother was very good at that time, he could memorize books faster than others, and he could draw. Beautiful paintings are often praised by teachers."

"The watercolor painting you said you gave me before was actually painted when I was a child. At that time, you sat across from me, holding a paintbrush, and clumsily followed the painting on the picture. You thought it was not good-looking. , told me to wait, and give it to me when your painting looks good."

"I had a headache at that time. Every time I had a headache, you hugged me and occasionally sang to me. You were smarter than others. You were the first to realize that a child was missing. You always talked to me Said that I can’t let others know that I’m sick, and I’ll be taken away by them, and I’ll never see you again.”

Jiang Nian's memories seemed a bit messy, but everything was related to Yu An.

"We have been with each other through the most difficult time, but I didn't expect that you were the first person they took away. That day you had a serious fever, and they found you. I cried and yelled to pull you away. ,but still……"

Jiang Nian's eyes were red. Obviously, this was not a pleasant memory for him.

"So there was no other little brother from the beginning to the end, right..."

"Yes, I saw you again outside the school. That time you won the first place in the competition, and the school made a big poster and hung it outside. Why is my little brother so good, it's just... it doesn't belong to me anymore gone."

Tears welled up in his eyes in an instant, and it was hard for Yu An to imagine what kind of mood Jiang Nian was holding at that time. He thought it was a reunion after a long absence, but he didn't expect that he no longer remembered him.

"Don't cry..." Jiang Nian hurriedly wiped his tears, and choked up as he wiped, "Look, God is still very kind to me, and after going around, he brought you back to me. "

"At that time, Wei Ming and I founded this firm together. Wei Ming was too lazy to think of a name. I chose this name."

"Why is it called Fourteen?"

"In the orphanage, we have no names, only a number on the clothes. I am o02 and you are m07. When you multiply them together, you get fourteen."

Yu An didn't expect that the name contained such a deep meaning, and his eyes became a little hot again.

"What about the others?"

"Xiaoyan is r15, Qingyu is r16, Brother Dong is r29, Wei Ming is o21, Sister Shuyue is m45."

"What do the initials mean?"

"I don't know, it's probably related to the experimental project."

Yu An remembered the scar on Wei Ming's head very clearly. Jiang Nian's hair was a little longer, covering his scalp tightly, so he couldn't see anything.Yu An pressed his shoulder with one hand, and inserted the fingers of the other hand into his hair, and sure enough, he touched the scar hidden in the hair on one side.

Yu An subconsciously wanted to ask him if it hurts, but after so many years, it was meaningless to ask this question again, so the words came to his lips, "Don't be afraid, my little brother will take care of you in the future, and I won't let you do it again." It hurts."

Jiang Nian hugged him tightly.

His little brother is still so gentle, obviously he is very sad, but he wants to comfort him in turn.

The two hugged each other tightly, quietly feeling each other's heartbeat.

After a long time, Yu An lay on his shoulders and whispered, "I want to go home."

Jiang Nian roughly guessed what he was thinking, "Want an answer?"

"Ah."

Although the evidence is right in front of him, he still wants to hear the answer from his parents. In any case, those parents who have raised him for nearly 20 years treat him like their own, not just for food, but for food. And the love and care that children crave most.

Besides, he also wanted to know more about what happened back then. He didn't believe that such good parents would be the accomplices of that experiment. This time he hoped that he could find out the truth.

Jiang Nian thought over and over again, "I'll go back with you."

"I can do it myself."

"I'm worried."

The tears in the corners of Yu An's eyes were still wet, plus he hadn't slept all night, and now he looked very haggard. Jiang Nian gently stroked his back, soothing his emotions as before, hoping that he could lie down and rest soon.But facing Jiang Nian, Yu An still said stubbornly, "I can do it myself."

Jiang Nian did not let go.

"Don't worry, things have already happened. I will learn to face them. No matter how far I go, I will eventually come back to you. I have said that I will learn to be strong. I will work hard and not be like ducked like an ostrich."

"So..." Yu An held his face in his hands and kissed the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry."

In fact, when Jiang Nian heard that he wanted to go home, he felt very complicated. Although he knew that Yu An was strong enough now, he still couldn't help thinking, what if he stayed with his parents and never came back.He was scared, really scared, he couldn't stand the pain of losing again.

But Yu An guessed his thoughts.

Yes, you have to believe in your little brother, he will definitely do what he promised me.

"When are you coming back?"

"About a week, I also need some time to think about how to tell them."

"Okay, I'll wait for you, I'm here, waiting for you to come back."
