dark crossing

Wang Xiaojun was never superstitious, but after answering Lao Zhang's call, she began to seriously consider whether she should find a Feng Shui master to help her calculate the passing years.

The driver, Lao Zhang, who was waiting at the airport early in the morning, did not pick up anyone at the arrival level. Instead, he received a call from Chu Huainan asking him to divert to the airport police station.

Big taxpayers and good citizens like Chu Huainan never have the chance to set foot in a police station.

The young owner of the Far South Group had the opportunity to take a one-day trip to the police station, and he had to thank the young man next to him who was making trouble.

——Chu Huainan, as the only witness who is willing to cooperate, needs to assist the police to make a record.

In the police station, Chu Huainan, who had his entire meeting schedule disrupted, was in a surprisingly good mood facing the commotion and noise in front of him.

The young people who caused the noise didn't seem to know that there is a saying "My father is Li Gang", which has been circulated among the people for a long time.

He still maintains his arrogant attitude, facing the interrogation of the police, he didn't even take off his sunglasses: "My name is Song Ci, and my brother is Song Shi."

The road outside the airport was recently repaired by the local government with the funding of the Far South Group.

Therefore, the police officers in the Yuannan Avenue area carefully arranged for Chu Huainan, who was accidentally involved in the provocative incident, the current head of the Yuannan Group, to sit on the only soft leather single sofa in the recording room.

Chu Huainan, who was exchanging cordial greetings with the director, did not forget to keep his ears open to pay attention to the young man's movements.After listening to his short but majestic self-introduction, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.I thought: that's it?so what?

All he had to do was write "Who is Song Shi" on his face.

The two little police officers who were taking notes for Song Ci were not as "ignorant" as Chu Huainan.

Hearing this, I couldn't help slandering in my heart at the same time: No wonder you are so arrogant.

Here, probably no one knows Song Ci, they just think of him as mud that can't support the wall.

But apart from Chu Huainan, everyone knows the Song poems of Royal Tiandihui.

Song Shi is a well-known figure in the sensual scene of Jianghu stock market.

Looking back on Song Shi's life, his fortune is quite legendary.

More than ten years ago, most of the entertainment venues in Jianghu City did not have the concept of clubs, but Song Shi, who was poor and white, took the lead in introducing foreign capital and built several luxurious European-style entertainment clubs in the center of Jianghu City.

It took the lead in adopting card seats, boxes, members-only and other tricks that have almost become the standard configuration of casinos in Jianghu City today.

And those few entertainment clubs founded by Song Ci are the predecessor of Royal Tiandihui, which is now famous for its extremely extravagant Chinese style, and this is also the starting point of Song Shi's entertainment empire.

However, the police officers have always dealt with it impartially, not dealing with the matter or the person.

At this moment, there has not been any change in attitude because Song Ci moved out of Song poetry.

Song Ci was a little surprised.

These two stunned young people are so unaware of how to distinguish between appearances and colors. He just thinks that the police officers are newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers. He frowned slightly and said loudly: "I'm too lazy to tell you, where are you in charge?"

Seeing this, the director who was sitting not far away nodded apologetically to Chu Huainan: "I'll go over."

"It turned out to be Boss Song's younger brother." But the director in charge of "management" is not a tyrannical person, and he casually reminded: "I heard that Boss Song is living in the hospital, you are so serious Worry him."

Song Ci curled his lips disapprovingly: "He's already a vegetable, so why worry about it?" He leaned against the wall frivolously with his arms folded, and then stretched out his hand to the young police officer standing in front of him.

"Hey, give me back my phone, I have to call my brother's secretary."

The little policeman turned his head to look at the director, and after getting approval, he handed over Song Ci's cell phone.

After a lot of tossing, the final result is quite expected.

In view of the "good" attitude of the troublemaker who admitted his mistake after the phone call, it was the first offender again.

Under the instruction of the director, after verbal criticism and education, the young policeman issued an administrative punishment letter: disturbing public order and fined [-] yuan.

The director walked Chu Huainan to the door all the way, and the two smiled and shook hands.

"Mr. Chu, please go slowly, thank you for your cooperation."

"Where?" Chu Huainan, who was responding in vain, caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that Song Ci, who had been successfully "fished out" by his family from the police station, got into a black commercial vehicle.

On the way back, Chu Huainan didn't say a word.

The driver, Lao Zhang, guessed that the boss who had been delayed by the trip was in a bad mood at the moment, so he secretly looked at Chu Huainan's face through the mirror from time to time.

"Uncle Zhang, do you know who Song Shi is?"

This old Zhang, who was in the Chu family in his twenties, drove the car for the parents of the Chu family all his life. He is an old man who came from the generation of Chu Huainan's father, Chu Zhentang.

The driver's job is a personal job, and Lao Zhang, who can serve two generations of patriarchs, is Chu Zhentang's confidant.

Lao Zhang didn't expect Chu Huainan to ask this.But he was always well-informed, so after thinking for a while, he immediately replied: "Song Shi? I remember he is the boss of Royal Tiandihui."

After getting the answer, Chu Huainan didn't speak any more, he silently watched the passing scenery outside the car window, and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Song Ci in the other car was also holding his chin, watching the scenery outside the car boredly.

He and his brother's secretary Lin Huo haven't seen each other for a long time. The last time we met was probably six years ago.

In this way, this year is the sixth year since he was sent away from the Jianghu stock market by his brother.

Although Song Shi works in the entertainment industry, her mind is the same as that of those old-fashioned parents, and she actually has an almost superstitious agreement with "knowledge changes destiny".

His parents died early, and the two brothers have lived together for more than ten years. Who knew that before Song Ci became an adult, the brother who was 12 years older than him and had always played the role of father said, "You probably won't pass the exam in China." He resolutely sent him out of the country on the grounds that he has gone to college.

For the first four years, his brother threw him, who could only respond to "Howeryou" with ""I'mfinethankyouandyou.", to Melbourne to study matriculation and undergraduate studies. In the next two years, Song Ci, who couldn't stay in the big rural area of ​​Australia, Take the initiative to go to Vancouver.

These years have been kept outside, no one cares, and the diplomas are all due to the libraries that Song Shi donated to the school, and the money is responsive, with no limit.Therefore, it is only natural for Song Ci to be extravagant, luxurious, and spoiled.

"How is my brother?" The silence was broken by Song Ci on his own initiative.Although he looked quite heartless, but blood was thicker than water, so it was impossible not to worry at all.

"Mr. Song is in the hospital and his condition is quite stable."

"Stablize?"

Song Ci squeezed a sneer from between his teeth: "Is it the kind of stability that you can't wake up for a lifetime?"

Secretary Lin, who was sitting in the co-pilot, didn't answer, and stared straight ahead without blinking. Those who didn't know thought it was him who was driving.

"What happened? What happened to my brother?" Although it was claimed that Song Shi was in a coma caused by a sudden stroke.But in the face of this official statement, Song Ci didn't even believe the punctuation marks.

Due to the sudden death of her parents in her early years, Song Shi has always been a life-saving person. She has physical examinations twice a year, and three meals are accompanied by a dedicated nutritionist.

stroke?It was Song Ci who had a stroke, and he didn't believe that Song Shi, who was so afraid of death that he even quit smoking, would suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Lin Huo adjusted the seat belt, like an oyster whose mouth cannot be pried open.

Song Ci saw him like this, Wuming's anger rose instantly, he raised his leg and kicked the back of the seat hard, "You don't tell the truth again, right! Keep it from?! Well, if you have the ability, just keep it from the fuck All my life!"

It was rare for Lin Huo to show an indescribable waver on his face.

Song Ci was still cursing: "I like to hide from me so much! You don't fucking tell me anything! Then what the hell are you doing calling me back now?! Come back and die for him! I'll fuck you! You bastard! Song Shi! Song Shi, you are a bastard!!"

Rogues also have true feelings, and they are also raised by their parents.Song Ci's tears came down suddenly.

Lin Huo has followed Song Shi for more than ten years, so it can be said that he grew up watching Song Ci.He was used to the hard-hearted man, seeing Song Ci like this, he couldn't help being a little sad, and finally let go of his ambiguity and said: "It is very likely that Mr. Song was plotted against."

"plot?"

Song Ci wiped away his tears, "Who did he offend? Such a cruel hand?"

"I don't know, I'm still investigating."

"I'm still investigating but I don't know? Waste!" Song Ci is not as smooth as his brother. He always scolded his subordinates whenever he wanted to: "Our Song family doesn't raise dry food! I'll give you a month, no! Up to two weeks! Check it out for me to find out which one is desperate and dares to break ground on Tai Sui!"

Lin Huo, who was split into "you", couldn't help frowning when he saw this ancestor who had no ability but a bad temper.

Song Shi was kind to him and regarded him as his right-hand man.But there is only such a brother.Therefore, no matter what kind of person Song Ci is, whether he can shoulder this burden, Song Shi's huge family business will eventually be handed over to him.

A midsummer night is not as scorchingly hot as a day.The bright moonlight shines on the ground through the crystal-clear glass, which makes people feel a bit vague and old-fashioned.

The night wind with inexplicable dampness blows over, blowing out a quiet coolness in the winding and long hospital corridor.

By the time Song Ci finished visiting Song Shi and came out of the hospital, it was almost morning.

Lin Huo has something to do and can't accompany him home.Seeing that Song Ci was not in a good mood, he hesitated again and again before handing him a car key: "Xu Kai and the others set up a banquet for you in Tiandihui to change your mood."

Song Ci was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Lin Huo to offer to let him go to the party.His brother, Song Shi, never liked him mixing with those cronies.

"Song Ci, you are an adult now. From tomorrow onwards you will temporarily take over your brother's job." Lin Huo's pupils reflected the faint light of the moon, and his stern voice entered Song Ci's ears .

"Six years ago, I believe you have learned enough lessons. Mr. Song often said that people from the Song family would never fall twice in the same place. You are the same, right?"

It was rare for Song Ci not to contradict him, no emotion could be seen on his handsome face, he just nodded slightly.

Jianghu City, decorated with reinforced concrete and plexiglass, wanders between the silence of office buildings and the noise of the bar street at night, like a monster with half-painted makeup.The enchanting night skillfully drags the people who are exhausted during the day to the abyss of depravity that is crazy until the dawn.

The VIP-only floor of Tiandihui is not the imaginary music-shocking.Song Ci glanced at the guide board, and soon found the box where Xu Kai and the others were.

At the entrance of the box, there were seven or eight young people with exquisite makeup, both men and women.Seeing Song Ci coming, as if they had known him for a long time, they bent down and bowed in unison, and greeted him respectfully and flatteringly: "Brother Ci."

Like a well-trained young idol group.

It's good to be young, and there is an alluring sweetness in the charmingly smiling eyes.

Song Ci was very useful, he casually embraced the girl closest to him, and teased, "You have a good figure."

The girl whom he casually praised is also a girl who is used to being courteous.She hugged Song Ci's neck naturally, and thanked her closely.He didn't forget to wink to his companions standing opposite him, and asked them to help Song Ci open the box door from left to right.

Behind the door is a not-too-long diamond mirror tunnel, with light and shadow effects, giving people the illusion of traveling through time.

Song Ci strode to the end and found another door.He pushed the door out and couldn't help being taken aback.

The box in front of me is at least a thousand square meters, and all the decorations inside are antique.

Pavilions, promenades, gardens, and stage are all complete.It seems to have copied the back hall and garden of some palace.

Xu Kai was embracing a young man in a costume, and looked up at him when he was busy: "Song Ci! Here we come!"

The young man dressed as an actor opened his skirts wide, wrapped his arms around Xu Kai's neck, and kissed him with a smile.The intricately crafted helmet that should have been worn on the head was casually thrown aside.The two rolled in the corner of the stage, hugging each other fiercely.

The muscles on Song Ci's face twitched, but he managed to force out a playful smile: "I have been suffering outside these few years, and you grandchildren enjoy it with me!"

Xu Kai bit the white neck of the young man who seemed to be stuck to him hard, then patted the other's butt, motioning for a place to move.The young boy got off him obediently, and straightened his crumpled shirt properly before leaving.

Although the group of people in the box were not serious, they were all brothers who had played with Song Ci for almost ten years.They all seemed very happy to meet again after a long absence.

Hearing Song Ci's joke, Xu Kai stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Enjoy the fart! Without you bastard taking the lead, we wouldn't be able to play any new tricks, and the ones we played over and over again were the ones you got tired of playing a few years ago." set."

Song Ci calmly avoided Xu Kai's hand grabbing his shoulder, and then unbuttoned his collar naturally.

Xu Kai didn't realize that Song Ci was deliberately avoiding him, so he bent down and made a gesture of invitation with a smile.

"Welcome Brother Ci to come and guide you. Look, brother, is this reception banquet really well done?"

Before Song Ci could speak.Another golden retriever with an afro who just finished fooling around with his little lover came up: "These are all chosen according to your taste, brother Ci! They are all beautiful boys with red lips and white teeth!"

Song Ci couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Old-fashioned, boring." He restrained his urge to beat up the golden-haired lion king who was in the way before him, and looked around blankly.

They are indeed beautiful boys with their own merits.But in his eyes, they are all dressed in gorgeous clothes, trying too hard to tease and attract people's imagination.

In this well-sealed and sound-proof room, there were about forty or fifty people. Except for a dozen or so friends Xu Kai called to have fun together, the rest were all outstanding-looking young boys wearing various ancient costumes.

Song Ci came late, so the only people who had time to greet him were Xu Kai and the golden lion king who had already finished.

The others didn't have time to pay attention to him for the time being.Some couples are in pairs, and there are four or five people laughing together, and none of them are in the right shape.

Song Ci leaned against the wall with his arms crossed in disgust, as if he was really bored and had no intention of joining the carnival.

Seeing that he was really not in high spirits, Xu Kai asked the waiter to bring him a drink.

After the intermission of the Golden Retriever Lion King was over, he was hooked by a boy dressed as a servant and hooked away.

Song Ci and Xu Kai chatted about the old days.Before he finished his glass of drink, the protagonist of the reception banquet looked down at his watch, it was already past two o'clock.

"I'm leaving." Song Ci yawned wearily.

"Are you leaving just now?" Xu Kai stared at him in disbelief: "No way, brother! Is the bureau that took me a month to organize so boring? You haven't even started yet!"

"Well, it's boring enough." Song Ci almost only stared at Xu Kai's face that night, and kept his eyes on the rest of the people and things.

He turned around and waved his back to Xu Kai, as if he really wanted to leave.

When Xu Kai saw that he was coming for real, he couldn't help being surprised, and hurriedly followed.

The reception banquet, the reception banquet, the protagonists who need to be received are gone, so what a fart it is.

He hastily followed Song Ci out the door, stretched his arms around Song Ci's slender neck, hung on Song Ci's body in a dawdly manner, and barely held back the other party's pace of leaving.

Although Song Ci looked quite thin, Xu Kai, who was half a head taller than him, was lifted off his body with a single backhand.

In the next second, Xu Kai's face was firmly pressed against the mirror wall of the diamond mirror corridor.

Now, Xu Kai was completely dumbfounded.He didn't expect Song Ci to have such sharp eyes and skill after seeing him for several years.

Song Ci saw his face broken into several pieces in the reflection of the polygonal mirror in the corridor.

Every face has an expression of disgust that is about to kill.

He suddenly realized that he had lost his composure, and the strength in his hand couldn't help being much lighter. "Why, Mr. Xu is really sorry, and you plan to come and throw yourself in your arms?"

Only then did Xu Kai recover from the shutdown state. He struggled a bit with the shoulder that was being held down, but he couldn't break free.

So he had to stare at Song Ci carefully from the mirror for a long time, and asked tentatively, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Xu Kai and Song Ci have called each other brothers for many years, even during the period when Song Ci was packaged and thrown to Australia by Song Shi to avoid the limelight because of that matter, he secretly flew to see him from time to time.

They used to be good enough to wear a pair of pants and sleep with the same pony at night.

But today's Song Ci made Xu Kai feel strange.

Song Ci let go, turned his face away, took a deep breath and said, "I just went to the hospital to see my brother. The doctor said that the possibility of him waking up in the short term is very low."

Xu Kai opened his mouth and couldn't find a word to answer for a long time.

Fortunately, Song Ci didn't expect him to comfort him, and continued on his own: "I'm really not in the mood today."

He calmed down a bit, and finally he was willing to turn his face around again.

"I know it's disappointing. Next time I'm in charge, let's make it up together!"

Song Ci patted Xu Kai's shoulder apologetically, and gave him a coquettish wink as a gift, then walked away with long legs, without looking back.

Xu Kai: ...
