Darkest Action

Chapter 147 The Darkest Hour 34

The four words at the end of the sentence hit Du Gang's heart heavily, making him stunned for a moment.Qi Rui glanced at him, then walked out of the cooperative with Meng Guoxiang.

Du Gang behind him took out his phone, and his thumb rested on Meng Ran's number page.Suddenly, he let out a long sigh, finally pressed the lock screen button, and silently put away the phone.

In the bathroom of the private room of the hotel, Meng Ran stared expressionlessly at himself in the mirror. The dark suit made him look tougher and more serious.Meng Ran raised his hand and adjusted the tie to the best position. At this moment, a human voice came from outside the bathroom. He immediately turned off the faucet and went out to meet him.

Accompanied by Dong Yutong, Dong Zhen walked into the private room together, followed by Qi Feng and Liang Luo.

Meng Ran took the initiative to pull away the high-back chair on the main seat, and politely said to Dong Zhen: "You sit."

Dong Zhen was sixty years old, his ancestral home was Jiangsu, and he was a scholarly family from generation to generation.In the early years, he started as an ordinary lecturer at Huangjiang University and was promoted to be the secretary of the school's party committee. Later, he successively became the mayor of Jinglin District and the mayor of Huangjiang City. Up to now, he has been in the high position of Huangjiang's top municipal party secretary for four years. more than enough.

Unlike Qi Zeyang, who was born as a public security officer, Dong Zhen still carried the refined aura of a scholar. He was neither fat nor thin, with a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Qi Feng and Liang Luo sat down on Dong Zhen's right hand in turn. Dong Yutong walked to Meng Ran's side and sat down with him on the left side of the round table.

When the waiter brought tea in, Dong Zhen asked Meng Ran, "How long have you been with Yutong?"

Meng Ran and Dong Yutong looked at each other with a smile, and replied: "It's not long, only about half a year."

"Half a year?" Dong Zhen reflected on this time, "I heard that you are already in the first grade, and I can't match you at this age."

With a humble attitude, Meng Ran poured tea for Dong Zhen himself.Qi Feng echoed, and introduced several major cases that Meng Ran had handled in the city special agency one by one.

Dong Zhen had an impression of An Lan, who was so special, and then praised Qi Feng: "Qi Feng, you are really strong and have no weak soldiers! The people below can be regarded as characters if they are singled out."

Hearing Dong Zhen praise Qi Feng, Liang Luo also smiled.Dong Zhen and her father Liang Lilun are both officials of the boss' faction and have always been on good terms with each other politically. Seeing her bulging abdomen, Dong Zhen asked her when her due date was.

Liang Luo replied with a smile that it would be in the middle of next month.

As the words fell, her eyes naturally fell on Meng Ran. Liang Luo knew that this banquet was very meaningful, and it could be regarded as the prelude to a political marriage.When going out, she once asked Qi Feng who Dong Yutong's fiancée would finally choose.

Qi Feng just kissed her on the cheek: "The candidate is very suitable, it doesn't matter who it is."

What Liang Luo didn't expect was that the person who appeared at the banquet was Meng Ran. She still remembered the smile on Meng Ran's face when he looked at Qi Rui, which was full of love between lovers.But after only being separated for more than two months, the Meng Ran in front of him has become extremely strange. He seems to have been reborn, and he seems to have fallen into the abyss.

Liang Luo couldn't sigh, so he could only silently sip his tea, which tasted bitter and unsatisfactory.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Dong Zhen asked about Meng Ran's father.Meng Ran was looking for an opportunity to call Du Gang, when he heard Dong Zhen's question, he said calmly, "My father is already on his way here, please wait a little longer."

When the words fell, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.Meng Guoxiang, who was wearing a farm uniform, appeared in front of everyone, and there was a tall figure standing beside him. The man met the eyes of Meng Ran who turned his head, and it was Qi Rui who came in a hurry.

Meng Ran's face darkened in an instant, and he stared straight at Qi Rui who came uninvited.Too many complex emotions are contained in this seemingly calm gaze, and for a while it seems like the enemy and the enemy.

As soon as the atmosphere in the private room dropped to freezing point, Liang Luo stood up first, trying to ease the embarrassment, and said to Qi Rui, "Xiao Rui, you sent Uncle Meng over here, right? Why did you take such trouble?"

Qi Rui didn't answer Liang Luo's words, but Meng Guoxiang spoke for him: "I asked him to come. Meng Ran told me that the parents of the two families will meet together today. It would be inappropriate for Xiao Rui not to be here." gone."

After Meng Guoxiang finished speaking, he looked around the round table. He had met Dong Zhen on the news and knew his status and identity.Meng Guoxiang suddenly understood that his outstanding eldest son, just as prophesied when he was young, has started a life of smooth success.Meng Ran didn't ask him for his opinion as a father, all he wanted was for him to come and cooperate with him to go through the motions.

Meng Guoxiang suddenly didn't recognize Meng Ran in front of him. This child has always been devoted. On the day he confessed his sexuality to him, he firmly said that he only wanted to be with Qi Rui, and he would not want anyone else.Meng Guoxiang also witnessed the unforgettable relationship between Meng Ran and Qi Rui at the same time, watching how they fight each other, raising eyebrows...

However, at the moment, Meng Ran wants to make a decisive cut. He almost cruelly cut off the relationship between himself and Qi Rui, and defected to the more powerful Dong family. All this surprised and frightened Meng Guoxiang.

The thoughtful Dong Yutong wanted to round things up, got up and pulled out a chair, and greeted Meng Guoxiang: "Uncle Meng, please sit down first."

Before Meng Guoxiang moved, Meng Ran spoke first: "Dad, if you are inconvenient tonight, I will send someone to take you back."

The moment he saw Qi Rui appearing, Meng Ran knew he had lost a game.Meng Guoxiang obviously took Qi Rui's side. He came wearing a set of mud-stained farm clothes, expressing his position invisibly.

"You don't need to send someone anymore, I will send Dad back." The person who answered became Qi Rui, his tone was flat, but the name of Meng Guoxiang in his words already explained everything.

At the round table, Dong Zhen, who was watching everything silently, spoke up, and the first one to question was his daughter: "Yutong, what's going on?"

Dong Yutong was taken aback for a moment, and his body couldn't help shaking.A strong hand supported her from the side, Dong Yutong turned around, and saw that Meng Ran had stood up, he wrapped her arms around her waist, and walked in front of Qi Rui together.Meng Ran didn't evade his gaze, and looked directly at Qi Rui: "Thank you for sending my dad here, but tonight is a family dinner, can I trouble you to avoid it?"

"Family banquet?" Qi Rui laughed at himself, his eyes gradually became turbulent, he took off a necklace from his neck, and a ring engraved with Meng Ran's name hung down in front of their eyes.The swaying ring connects the two people who were once close but are now strangers.Qi Rui asked again: "Do you remember what this is?"

Meng Ran calmly replied, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Meng Guoxiang couldn't listen anymore, and reprimanded him: "Meng Ran! When did you become a family with them? You have your family, and you obviously exchanged rings with Xiaorui..."

"Stop talking!" Meng Ran suddenly interrupted Meng Guoxiang's words, and pulled Dong Yutong's left hand wearing the engagement ring to show others: "Your biological son is me, and your daughter-in-law will only be Dong Yutong!"

Meng Guoxiang was trembling with anger, and suddenly changed his words: "Mr. Meng, I'll call you Mr. Meng! What do you think of your father, a puppet who cooperates with you in acting? Xiao Rui is so kind to you. When you are nothing, he has been silently caring about you and protecting you! You can't hurt his heart like this, and you can't be so ungrateful!"

Meng Ran was still holding Dong Yutong's hand, but his eyes slowly shifted to Meng Guoxiang, and he said coldly, "Mr. Meng? Okay, then you can call me that from now on."

Meng Guoxiang's heart seemed to have been hit, and he was speechless for a while.

Dong Yutong couldn't bear it, and reminded in a low voice: "Meng Ran, don't talk to uncle like that..."

At the side of the round table, Qi Feng said: "Qi Rui, now is not the time for you to come, go out."

Qi Rui didn't even cast a glance at Qi Feng, he stood beside Meng Guoxiang, looked straight at Meng Ran who was half a meter away, and paused, "Follow me."

"Impossible." Meng Ran replied.

"Do you have to marry her?" Qi Rui glanced at Dong Yutong beside him.

"Of course." Meng Ran said without thinking.

Qi Rui smiled wryly: "Do you think I came here to prevent you from becoming another An Lan?"

Meng Ran was a little surprised that Qi Rui would ask such a question, and Qi Rui's eyes were gradually covered with mist, and he said again in a deep voice: "I already have a brother who can do everything, you want Why should I just watch you go down the same path as him? Go back, Meng Ran...go back with me..."

A short distance away, Meng Ran's expression did not change, but his eyes trembled slightly.His ambition is completely presented in front of Qi Rui like it is contained in a transparent jar—he has no intention of becoming a new generation of police gods, he is unwilling to stay under Qi Feng's command for a long time, and his goal is to rely on the Dong family. Springboard, the upper-level power close to the top of the golden tower, has gradually become a core member of the Annei Group in the Southern District.

He is not afraid of the storm, he vows to be the storm.

The moment Meng Ran was distracted, Qi Rui suddenly pulled him into his arms, lifted his cheeks, and kissed the bottom pair of lips heavily——

In an instant, it was dark.

Meng Ran heard his own violent heartbeat. He was so familiar with these gentle lips that his mind was completely lost at the moment when his breaths met.Among hundreds of millions of people, only this scorching tenderness is still desperately dragging him back.

My heart beat again and again, as if time had slowed down.A boundless dark corridor spread out before Meng Ran's eyes, and a distant voice was quietly warning him: You have to learn to be ruthless, so that you can stand firm...

Turning to other people in the private room, Dong Zhen was furious at the scene of kissing and kissing. He slammed the table, stood up, and called Dong Yutong to leave.

Qi Feng quickly winked at Liang Luo, Liang Luo understood, immediately took out the accompanying gift, and blocked Dong Zhen's way with his tall stomach.She was half apologetic, half trying to stay, her lips were slightly parted, and her words were like a spring breeze: "Uncle Dong, please stop first. My father knew that I came to see you today, so he specially asked me to bring a traditional Chinese painting drawn by him."

Dong Zhen's footsteps faltered, and he could see that Qi Feng and his wife's move was out of ulterior motives. They intended to move out of Liang Lilun's solid steps and let him walk down.Dong Zhen had to sell his old friend's face. Although he took over the traditional Chinese painting, his attitude was still tough, and he ordered Dong Yutong to cut off contact with Meng Ran immediately.

At that time, Meng Ran suddenly came back to his senses, his pupils shrank, he tried his best to break away from Qi Rui in front of him, and staggered to Dong Zhen, knees bent together, and he knelt down in front of him.

Meng Ran lowered his head very low, he took a long breath, and his tone was almost confessional: "I was young and ignorant in the past, and I did some ridiculous things, I hope you and Yutong can forgive... Qi Rui and I have already It's completely broken, I don't love him at all, and I will never be tempted by a man like him. Please...please give me another chance..."
