Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

After a lively dinner, the grassland turmoil was completely over. Secretary Liu specially added their contact information and asked to contact them again during the Chinese New Year.

Soon, the two of them were back on track again, and this time they had a large sum of living funds out of thin air.

But with so much money, Li Qiu began to worry again.Ah Jiu has no idea about money, and he is not good at financial management. People with a bit of a business mind, such as Ge Tianyou, will quickly think of investment and reproduction, let the money roll, and enjoy a steady stream of profits for the rest of their lives. .

Li Qiu bought Ah Jiu a mobile phone, bought some new furniture and daily necessities, and couldn't think about how to spend the money anymore.

"Why don't we change to a bigger house?"

"A small apartment is enough to live in. If the house is too big, it will be tiring to clean it."

"Would you like to buy a luxury car?"

"I'm too lazy to open it, and it's still a lot of work to maintain it later."

"Then—then keep a pet?"

"Isn't there already a lamb running around in diapers at home?"

Frustrated, Li Qiu deposited the money in the bank, and realized in despair that they might be the only family in the world who had money but didn't know how to spend it.It was Ah Jiu who had the heart, and asked Secretary Liu to apply for a fresh food card, so that Li Qiu could eat high-end seafood that was airlifted from North America every month, and the same was not repeated all year round.

The weather was fine that day, Li Qiu received a party invitation from an old classmate, so he dressed up and went out early.When the relationship between the two developed to this point, Ah Jiu also asked him where he was going and when he would be back, and he would not be clinging to him like a 24-hour conjoined twin and not giving him freedom.

After finishing his housework and going out, Li Qiu took several detours and checked that there was no wiretapping device on his body. Then he took out the post-it note from that day and came to the hospital Ge Tianyou named.

This is the XX General Hospital in Beijing, which is very famous, and most of the people who can enter have some status.

Li Qiu first contacted Ge Tianyou, and then found the advanced inpatient department at the back of the hospital according to the other party's text message. The floor of the nephrology department was quiet, and occasionally a few family members passed by, all dressed brightly.

After a while, Ge Tianyou came out of the ward with a bowl of unfinished corn porridge. When he saw Li Qiu, he motioned for him to go to the elevator hall to talk.

Li Qiu looked at the half-closed door of the ward, and couldn't help but ask, "How is Ye Yan's condition...?"

Ge Tianyou quickly cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks without wiping his hands, and eagerly lit a cigarette for himself, but when he looked up and saw the no-smoking sign, he pinched it out helplessly.

At this moment, he is still an all-powerful business elite, with a sad look and rough work, all of which make him lose his aura and become an ordinary family member of a patient in the hospital.

From this series of actions, Li Qiu could see that Ge Tianyou was very anxious, but he didn't know whether the anxiety was due to Ye Yan's illness or the relationship between the two of them.

"The consultation was held three times, and the treatment plan was formulated. Foreign experts were also invited, but...he didn't cooperate..." Ge Tianyou stroked the extinguished cigarette butt, and said distressedly.

Li Qiu nodded understandingly. With such a commotion, Ye Yan must have known Ge Tianyou's identity and all kinds of lies about the rich and the poor fabricated by Ge Tianyou.Although Ye Yan survived by luck, what he faced was a complete deception. No wonder he refused the treatment arranged by Ge Tianyou.

"If you don't cooperate, it means that Ye Yan still can't let go of you. Have you explained it to him?"

Ge Tianyou bit down on the cigarette end deeply, but didn't answer.

In this situation, most of the explanations were made, but no understanding was reached, or they were filled with guilt and dared not speak at all.Li Qiu originally thought that the entanglement between himself and Ah Jiu was already very tossing, but he didn't expect these two people to be more tossing.

Ge Tianyou didn't say anything, so he could only ask: "You came to me alone, do you want me to help you be a lobbyist for Ye Yan?"

When this question was mentioned, Ge Tianyou quickly calmed down, raised his head and stared at Li Qiu, and did not speak for a long time.Li Qiu felt uncomfortable when he saw him, so he smiled calmly and patiently waited for the other party to ask questions.

I don't know how long the stalemate lasted, Ge Tianyou threw away the cigarette butt, and slowly opened up the conversation: "Although I put all my heart on Ye Yan, I am not completely indifferent to other things. Are you satisfied with the reward for this mission?" ?”

"Satisfied, Boss Ge is a person who gives money readily, and the cooperation is very pleasant."

"It's good to be satisfied. To be honest, I have a problem. I always like to be perfect in everything, and I never slack on the details. Especially when it comes to Ye Yan, I will pay close attention to everything... This time the search team, on the surface It looks like a mixed bag, but in fact, I have carefully investigated everyone in the team before allowing them to join."

Li Qiu looked at him quietly, believing that he and Ah Jiu were also included in this investigation.

Ge Tianyou turned around and took out a folder from the locker, opened it, and handed it to Li Qiu.

"Your family's Ah Jiu, I tried all means and couldn't find any information about him, so I deduced that he should be a gangster. It's just that his skills are so rare, so I was willing to take risks and hire him."

"But you are different. You are just an ordinary person, and you have lived in this city for many years, leaving too many traces. But when I used means to investigate in more detail, I found an incredible thing. "

After a pause, Ge Tianyou said word by word: "Do you believe that the dead in this world can be resurrected?"

Li Qiu said: "Of course I don't believe it."

"Well, let's take a look at this document."

Li Qiu opened it according to his words, and inside the document was actually a death certificate from some years ago.Deceased: Li Qiu, cause of death: died of illness.This certificate was issued ten years ago.Along with the proof, there is also a black and white posthumous photo, the person in the photo looks outstanding, it is him.

Facing this flimsy death certificate, Li Qiu's face did not show any emotion, he was neither surprised nor frightened, just as calm as he was looking at an ordinary supermarket discount advertisement.

After a while, Li Qiu said: "Probably something went wrong. I am standing here alive. There will be no death certificate. Isn't it often reported in the news? Morgues and funeral parlors illegally buy and sell the information of the dead. I guess this is probably some information dealer. masterpiece."

Ge Tianyou touched the black-and-white photo of "Li Qiu" in the file, then looked at the person in front of him, and said, "When this certificate was handed over to me, I was also suspicious. Maybe someone has It's similar, maybe it's information confusion, but when I discovered a little detail, I realized that the truth here may be more complicated than a simple mistake."

Li Qiu looked at him firmly.

Ge Tianyou said: "Appearance. After ten years, the appearance of a normal person will change more or less, especially a teenager who is growing up. But you haven't. Ten years ago, ten years later, you are not the same as the one in the photo. There is no difference in appearance. Therefore, this 'Li Qiu' is not the same person as you, not the same person, but with the same name and the same appearance, there is only one possibility I can think of."

"——You are pretending to be this dead person, and living in the appearance of 'Li Qiu'."

The elevator hall was eerily quiet.

After a while, Li Qiu touched his face, but said with a wry smile: "It's hard for me to make such a face, but I missed such a crucial detail, it really shouldn't be."

Li Qiu's unexpected frankness made Ge Tianyou breathe a sigh of relief.This matter was just his suspicion from the beginning to the end, and there was no solid evidence. If Li Qiu deliberately concealed it, he would never get an answer anyway.

Such misplaced identities and changes often hide ulterior secrets. I never thought that Li Qiu would admit it frankly.

"I exposed this matter without any other purpose. In fact, with the relationship between you and me, there is no need for you to be honest with me." Ge Tianyou put away the documents, sorted them out and handed them to Li Qiu, "Although I don't know Why did you come up with such a false identity, but I called you here today just to tell you that two days ago, another person tried to investigate your information."

Li Qiu's expression finally turned serious.

"For this trip to the prairie, you have joined my team, so these personal information will be kept with me for the time being. Two days ago, a group of people suddenly came to the door and asked to obtain your information, including this death certificate. I found an excuse to send them away, although they returned empty-handed, I am afraid they will not let it go easily, there will be a second time for everything, you should pay more attention to yourself."

Li Qiu took this old document that defined his life and death, with mixed feelings in his heart, and he only uttered "thank you" when the words came to his lips.

"I didn't particularly want to help you. It's just that by accident, it became like this. In the final analysis, it's your own luck."

"Are you lucky..."

"About your identity—" Ge Tianyou suddenly turned to him, "Does Ah Jiu know?"

Li Qiu shook his head.

Ge Tianyou sighed faintly: "Seeing what Ye Yan and I are today, why are you still unwilling to be honest with him? Feelings cannot tolerate a little bit of deception. Once cheated, cheated again and again, after that, you can't do it anymore." back."

Li Qiu grinned bitterly, "How can I open my mouth about this kind of thing."

"I don't think he would dislike you as a dead person, Li Daitao. Could it be that he likes you because of your face?" There is no doubt that Li Qiu's face is quite outstanding, and throwing it on the street can easily turn you back.

Li Qiu shook his head: "What can be done in a plastic surgery hospital, why would I bother to pretend to be a dead person?"

"makes sense."

Li Qiu closed his eyes and said: "I won't say it, the main reason is that Ah Jiu has changed... Now he will respect me and tolerate me. In fact, he knows better than anyone that I have a secret, but he doesn't take the initiative to reveal it. I hid many things from him, but as long as I don't tell him, he won't ask, he doesn't ask me to confess everything, but gives me enough space and leeway to keep myself."

Ge Tianyou also felt something, "No wonder... No wonder he said he was different from me then."

"What's the difference?" Li Qiu didn't know about the conflict between Ah Jiu and Ge Tianyou.

"It's nothing, maybe I should learn how to get along with you, tolerance and respect. But who can say this kind of thing? After all, I am not him, and Ye Yan is not you."

Li Qiu nodded, no one would stay in the same place forever, and Ge Tianyou changed silently just as they expected.We will always meet all kinds of people, exchange emotions and sincerity, and change ourselves subtly or willingly.

"By the way, Mr. Ge, who is the person you are talking about investigating me? I want to know who exactly I am being targeted by."

When mentioning this, Ge Tianyou obviously gave Li Qiu an extra look: "You have indeed provoked a very powerful person—the three major families in Beijing's antique world, Shang Feijie, the young head of the Shang family—he is the one who is investigating you. "

Hearing this answer, there was no surprise on Li Qiu's face.

"Acquaintance?" Ge Tianyou noticed this.

"Forget it, anyway, my little quarrel with the Shang family... can't be cleared up in a sentence or two. But that's okay, since they took the initiative to find me, I'll wait for them here. "

In a few light words, he actually put on a fearless posture to compete with the Shang family. If he met Li Qiu for the first time, Ge Tianyou would definitely laugh at his naivety, but after this cooperation, Ge Tianyou was unprecedented. He wants to bet on Li Qiu in this game.

"However, thank you Boss Ge for telling me about this matter."

"It should be, you brought Ye Yan in front of me, this return gift is far from enough."

Just as he was talking, the bell in the ward rang, and Ge Tianyou's expression changed, and he rushed in immediately.Li Qiu wasn't sure if he should call the doctor on duty, but fortunately Ge Tianyou came out after a while, with a stern expression on his complexion.

"Ye Yan called you in, he said he wanted to see you."

Li Qiu couldn't help pointing to himself, "Ye Yan...want to see me?"
