Banquet

"If you want to kill the sky, you must also have a sky-splitting axe."

"The cost of an ax is not low."

Chu Su opened his mouth slowly, then stretched out his hand to Gu Yan, said with a smile on his face, "On behalf of the Chu family, I will make this first deal with you."

The dust is flying in the dim light, how many plots and calculations at the moment, how many youthful spirits, all are silent.

Gu Yan held him back, showing a real smile.

A few days later, a high-level meeting of the Zhao Group was held, and Zhao Su officially announced the transfer of all his shares to Gu Yan, who then became the largest shareholder and concurrently served as the president.

On the [-]th of that month, the Zhao Group maliciously liquidated the Zheng Group.

Subsequently, several other companies and consortiums that were at odds with the Zhao family were affected to varying degrees, and their stock prices fell to the bottom.

Zhao Su was the first to notice Gu Yan's abnormality.

In the middle of the night, Gu Yan sat quietly in the elegant room with an elegant posture.

The scars of the past slowly healed over time, leaving only one deep scar, branded under the right ear, like a mark, reminding him of the old pain.

"You are the master of success, but I am the king of entrepreneurship."

"Scattered industries have been viciously invaded and merged for a long time. What I want to do is to integrate a new industrial chain, led by the Zhao family, to lead the entire market."

While speaking, he no longer saw the youthful and childishness of the past, and between the lights and shadows, he caught sight of the wind and spirit, only the ruthlessness of pointing the country.

Zhao Su stared at his healed face, the transplanted skin was still slightly stiff and did not fit well.

His side face was still handsome and deep, and his gestures seemed to be that of a high-class nobleman.

"lets change a topic."

Zhao Su sighed slightly in his heart: "Your mother is very worried about your private life, if..."

Gu Yan didn't speak.

His eyelids drooped slightly, and his right hand subconsciously stroked the cuff buttons on his shirt, with a hint of restrained nostalgia.

"There is a loquat tree in the courtyard, which I planted with my own hands when my love died."

His voice was cold and lonely, like an ice spring in the polar region, piercing into one's heart.

"My heart is a rock, and I can't change it."

Only here, in front of Zhao Su, would he reveal his emotions back then.

At the end of the prosperity, I am still waiting for you and remembering you.

And will you disappear in the torrent of time and forget me again.

After Zhao Su left for a long time, Gu Yan held the cuff button, as if he had reached the end of his life alone.

Please come back, come back and look at me again, take pity on my humble obsession, and commemorate my dead love.

Those rose gold cufflinks seemed to be crying in the long silent night.

East Central Africa, Karon.

Jiang Chengyan suddenly opened his eyes.

The pillow was slightly cool, as if something very sad in the dream made him cry.

Karon has a huge temperature difference between day and night.

The sun was still shining brightly in the morning, and in the evening it started to rain lightly.

The drizzle was cool, wet the window lattice and broke into the house.

The humid environment always made his legs ache, which was one of the many sequelae left after the explosion, and the occasional tinnitus, which always came suddenly and unsuspectingly.

He got up and went to the window to light a cigarette.

The fragrant and long-lasting scent greatly soothes the restless nerve center and brings a moment of peace and tranquility to the brain.

It was also after the explosion that he learned to smoke.

The wounds caused by burns are painful.

He was entangled in the burning pain day and night, as if he had fallen into a deep mud, unable to extricate himself.

Relying on this calming tobacco, such as drinking poison to quench thirst, can soothe the pain for a while, but it cannot give people long-term peace, but it is better than nothing.

The raindrops on the window sills formed a rare bead curtain, crystal clear and lovely.

He reached into the rain, feeling the wetness.

Rainwater flows slowly along the fingers, just like the old days, fleeting.

On this cold, wet midnight, his murmur floated like a feather into the void, and then disappeared.

"Gu Yan."

The cigarette butt fell to the ground lightly, like silver shavings.

The lights were not dimmed that night, and someone was watching the night rain quietly waiting for dawn.

Karon after the rain is like a green lotus in the desert of yellow sand.

The oasis of thousands of hectares stretches from ancient times.

Standing on the hillside, looking around, there are a few cattle and sheep wandering in the mountains nearby, occasionally grazing with their heads down, the grass is low in the wind, which is full of leisure and elegance in the pastoral landscape.

This is a tea garden. The owner of the tea garden went out to work, leaving children and tourists in the house. It seems that the owner has a good personal relationship, and the owner is very relieved.

"Can you carve wood?" the little black boy looked up and asked.

"Yes." The passenger whittled out a small wooden knife and handed it to the boy.

The little boy caressed the knife fondly, and asked expectantly, "What else?"

"Hit birds and steal eggs."

The boy's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Oh, my God! Caron can't hurt animals."

The passenger raised his legs and said lazily, "Then let me teach you how to climb a tree."

The boy followed him out expectantly.

The traveler was indeed an expert tree climber. In just a few minutes, he lifted the boy to the summit, and then picked avocados from the tree and looked at him smiling.

The boy was tired from playing in the tree, so he said to him, "I can come down now."

The passenger clapped his hands and showed him a hug gesture.

The boy was surprised: "Want to dance?"

The passenger took it for granted: "Of course, otherwise how would I get down?"

The boy said in embarrassment: "Don't you know how to get down the tree?"

The passenger said earnestly: "Tasha Gema, I can only teach people to climb trees, not to teach people to descend trees."

The dialogue between the two is in the local Karon language.

The boy estimated the height of the jump, and said, "Shen, I will get hurt."

The passenger encouraged: "Trust me, let's dance!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a cool male voice outside the courtyard: "Tasha Gema, don't trust him."

That person also spoke Karon, probably just learning it, and his pronunciation was a little sensual.

He put the bag in his hand on the table, then climbed up the tree and said to the boy, "Give me your hand, and I will take you down."

Tasha Gema seemed to trust him very much, and immediately passed his hand over.

The man was thin and thin, but he had a cool and calm demeanor despite his young age.

Tasha Gema lay on his shoulders, and felt a faint tea fragrance on his body, probably from the tea garden, but it smelled much better than that.

Probably the taste of China.

He landed on the ground smoothly with the boy in his arms, then straightened his clothes and returned to the house.

The passenger touched his nose, not caring about being left out, and said cheekily, "Tasha, can you bring us some tea?"

The boy nodded and said, "Okay."

Looking at the boy's back, the passenger laughed softly and said, "What a little guy who doesn't hold grudges." Then he walked into the house and closed the door.

"Did you rent a car?" Shen Jiaqi asked.

The man nodded.

He has a clear appearance and a cold demeanor.

Several months of recuperation had sculpted his already fair skin to look like icy muscles, except for those platinum-gold pupils, which were full of coldness growing day by day.

"I saw a man in the market."

After the rain in Karon, a coolness came quietly.

That man was as handsome and elegant as he remembered, and even though what he was about to do was soaked in blood and crime, he was as calm as drinking tea and admiring flowers.

"When you took me away in the sea of ​​fire that day, would the wreckage you left behind not be able to fool him?"

"Those are enough to prove that Shen Yu was killed." Shen Jiaqi said.

"The one in Beijing used the two of them to attack this time. It just means that he couldn't wait any longer, he was afraid in his heart, and that's why he wanted to snipe you and Gu Yan so quickly."

"I took you away only because I was worried that you would be seriously injured and unable to avoid his schemes and plots."

He stared at Jiang Chengyan, as gentle as he treated his own parents and children: "Gu Yan has parents and family to take care of him, but you can't do it. I didn't ask for your willingness to take you away in advance, will you blame me?"

That name resounded in my heart like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, but it was the first time I heard it being mentioned.

The incessant longing and worry, the itching of bone erosion, densely rushed to the apex of my heart in the rainy night.

Jiang Chengyan's cold and alienated face slowly cracked, and then a thousand unspeakable emotions emerged: "Are we too weak to be vulnerable to absolute power and murderous intent?"

The two of them were far apart, but both were aware of it.

It was precisely because of this realization that Gu Yan accumulated a lot of energy and made a bold move with the force of a thunderbolt, suddenly exerting pressure.

The emotion is so pure that simply being responded to makes one excitedly forget all the hardships.

"You are much better at realizing this than I was back then." After a long time, Shen Jiaqi said with emotion, "Since you have almost healed, do you want to go back now?"

Jiang Chengyan clenched his hands slightly, his eyes calm: "No, I must understand the old account with my own hands, and I must never let him have a second chance to strike."

In order to kill Shen Yu that day, he did not care about the life and death of the residents of the entire community, and detonated the bombs as he wished, causing serious injuries to Shen Gu and several residents, and many other residents caught fire at the city gates, and innocent people were implicated.

If he returns to Beijing, that person will definitely know that the mission has failed, and there will definitely be a second, more powerful and decisive killing move.

He shall not take risks, nor lead others to take risks.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Shen Jiaqi asked, "Don't you want to know about Gu Yan's recent situation?"

Jiang Chengyan looked at him, his lips moved slightly, and the trivial light made him like a firefly in the deep forest, timid and expectant.

Children are always debts from previous lives, and Shen Jiaqi only knows today that it is not easy for parents.

He didn't keep it up either, and told him bluntly: "When I took you out of Beijing, he was seriously injured in bed, with second-degree burns all over his body. Even if he woke up, he would be half a useless person."

Jiang Chengyan's fingers trembled slightly, and said: "I know, he was devoted to protecting me that day, and he took over most of the injuries."

He calmed down, and said quietly: "It's nothing after all, it's over here, if he dies, I'll accompany him. If he's disabled, "

There was a pause, and then he said in relief, "If he is disabled, and if I am lucky enough to return home, I will spend the rest of my life as compensation, and just be with him."

He finally let go of all the burdens and pressures, and his warm and thin face reflected an extremely piercing sword light.

Love is weakness as well as armor.

With this armor, I will put you in peace, and thousands of enemy troops will be unstoppable from now on.

His voice was weak and deep, as if he had placed his last thoughts and emotions on the gods and Buddhas, asking them to convey them to his lover, his partner.

"Please wait for me." He murmured in a low voice.

Please wait for me, I would like to bet all my luck to come for you as promised.
