The Deepest Color of the Night

At the beginning of the night, it was pierced by lightning, and after the dull rolling thunder overturned the sky, the heavy rain finally poured down.

The lights in the office were not turned on, only the fluorescent light from the computer flickered coldly, reflecting on Fang Jin's expressionless face.

At this moment, the office door clicked, and a middle-aged man in a suit pushed the door in. When he saw Fang Jin, he was stunned: "Who is it? What are you doing?"

Fang Jin pressed the print button, and the printer began to swipe and spit out paper.Under the man's shocked gaze, he calmly got up and walked towards the printer, and said calmly, "—Lawyer Xue."

"Security! Security!" The man turned his head and ran out. At this moment, a black figure flashed in the corridor outside, quickly twisted him and covered his mouth, and easily pushed into the office.

"Uh, uh..." Lawyer Xue couldn't stop struggling, but the person holding him down was obviously well-trained. His iron-like hands made it impossible for him to break free, and his face quickly turned red and livid due to lack of oxygen.

Fang Jin made a gesture, and the man's hand covering his mouth was released slightly, and lawyer Xue immediately coughed in embarrassment: "You...cough cough cough! Who are you and what are you doing? Don't hurt me, if you want money Just open your mouth..."

"Money," Fang Jin picked up sheets of paper from the printer that continued to work, and there was a hint of self-mockery in his voice.

"You are Gu Mingzong's royal lawyer, and you assisted him in signing the notarization of the company's shares, management rights, fixed assets, and foundations. You should know how much it is worth in total. Do you think I will still be short of money?"

"Fang...Fang Jin," Attorney Xue suddenly realized, "You are that Fang Jin!"

The machine finally finished printing the dozens of pages of inheritance designation letter. Fang Jin bound the thick stack of documents and turned to Lawyer Xue with a smile.At that moment, the lightning came in from the window behind him, making half of his face pale and glowing, but the outline revealed a shockingly profound and cold handsomeness.

When Lawyer Xue first drafted his will, he was curious about who this assistant named Fang Jin was, who could be personally selected by Gu Mingzong as the heir to his business empire at a young age—now that he saw it with his own eyes, he only felt extremely important. Depression and overwhelming fear.

"With such a big secret in hand, you should be more careful. Remember Lawyer Xue, before using this will, change it to a more secret place, so that no one will see it again."

Fang Jin turned around and walked towards the door, waving his hands without looking back - Lawyer Xue didn't know what he was going to do, but felt a sudden stabbing pain in his neck.

The man behind him took out the injection from his arms and injected every drop into his blood vessel.

In an instant, lawyer Xue didn't even have time to make a sound, so he fell asleep and was dragged behind the desk.

Fang Jin walked out of the law office, and a stretched black Chevron was parked by the side of the road.The person behind him held an umbrella and took a few steps to open the car door. Fang Jin lowered his head and got in.

"The 300 million deposit has already been transferred to the middleman's account, and the final payment will be sent out within 24 hours after the entrusted task is completed." Fang Jin sat in the spacious back seat, wiped off the rainwater on the documents, and asked: "Agreed?" What about people?"

There were a few people sitting in the Chevron. The man just put his umbrella away and got on the car, with an obvious local accent: "The middleman said I got it, boss, you paid the money on time! We brought the money too, fortunately we have If Lu Zi can find such a person, his reward will have to be calculated separately by you, but it is too expensive!"

Fang Jin nodded, only to see someone in the front seat turn around and smile at him.

Under the dim streetlights outside the car, this person's facial features and expression were very familiar. Apart from his slightly frivolous and fierce temperament, he was completely different, at least seven or eight points like Gu Yuan!

Fang Jin hadn't seen Gu Yuan for half a month. Although he knew that the face in front of him was a fake face, his heart still skipped a beat.

"Look at this technology, how is it different from the photos you gave? People have been doing this for generations! It is well-known in Southeast Asia! It is because you gave Qian Shicheng that we are willing to work hard to contact him!"

The man kept boasting, but Fang Jin raised his hand to signal him to stop.

"Tomorrow, one day, I don't care what your usual price is, I will pay three times after tomorrow." Fang Jin looked at the fake Gu Yuan in the front seat, and said lightly under the overjoyed gaze of the other party: "But if the job is messed up— —I not only smashed the signboards of your ancestors for generations, but I also let you have no descendants to pass on, understand?"

The man smiled and said with a strong Cantonese accent, "I understand!"

Fang Jin nodded and turned to the mercenary leader: "There is still a small matter for you to do."

He tore off a piece of paper, scribbled down a string of place names, and said: "There are two people imprisoned in this place, a man and a woman. The woman looks like she is around 40 years old and her surname is Chi, and the man in his 20s is the second young master of the Gu family. You send People will pick them up, and the speedboat will send them to our place of business tomorrow, and I will make arrangements for the rest.”

The mercenary leader took the paper, glanced at it, and handed it to one of his subordinates: "Go and finish the work."

That subordinate is extremely capable, presumably there is a tacit understanding in his usual actions, and he directly took a few people out of the car in the rain and walked to a distance.They must still have people nearby to respond, and soon disappeared in the vast rain.

Fang Jin looked away from the car window, involuntarily looked at the front row, and landed on the face that was very similar to Gu Yuan.For several seconds, he was almost in a daze. Although his intellect knew it was false, there was an uncontrollable sourness and pain in his feelings, like a needle prick, surfacing in the most defenseless place in his heart.

"Boss? What's wrong?"

As soon as Gu Yuan spoke, his demeanor and voice were revealed to be different, Fang Jin forced himself to close his eyes.

--what are you thinking about?A fake is a fake.

The self who can't even let go of that illusory image is simply disgustingly weak.

"...It's time for us to go," Fang Jin opened his eyes and looked at the mercenary leader. In an instant, he regained his calm, cautious, and invincible attitude, and said, "Go to the ocean."

·

The lightning struck down, illuminating half of the corridor.

Gu Yuan walked out of the elevator in a hurry, without turning his head, he said to his subordinates: "You guys wait here!"

He slammed open the office door, went straight to the desk and opened the drawer, grabbed the cowhide envelope that had been locked for more than half a month, his hands trembling slightly.

He never knew he would have such a day.

Countless vague intuitions and vague clues connected the previous events into an absurd guess, burning every nerve in him.

He never thought that he would have such a day on the verge of collapse, rage, and uncontrollable.

Gu Yuan snapped the binding that sealed the document bag, and the photos and materials inside poured out and slid all over the table with a crash.With trembling fingers, Gu Yuan picked up the top one, which was a copy of the house property rights certificate.

In the apartment that Fang Jin lived in before, the owner of the property wrote three words impressively——

Gu Mingzong.

Gu Yuan didn't know how he sat down in the chair slowly, he only felt his mind was blank, and he only heard the sound of his own heartbeat in a trance.

Plop, plop, plop.

The blood flowed down and hit the temple, making a strong and rapid beating like a drum.

Gu Yuan gently put down the title deed, and after a long time picked up the next few sheets of paper with photos printed on it.

The first thing that caught his eyes was Fang Jin in his youth, about eighteen or nineteen years old, getting off the plane with his head down; In the unnoticed shadow, his hand was grasping Fang Jin's arm.

Below the photo is a footnote of time and shooting location, showing a few years ago, Heidelberg, Germany.

The next few pictures are all in Germany, almost all in Heidelberg, and some in Munich.In most of the photos, there are only Gu Mingzong and Fang Jin. Some are watching a football game, some are having dinner together, and some are strolling along the road. The time and place are noted below, and there is even "Gu Mingzong's photo" and so on.

There is a picture of Fang Jin standing in front of a small villa with an independent garden, gently closing the exquisitely carved iron gate.The breeze blows over his young face, bangs are slightly raised, revealing a soft and quiet facial contour; his drooping eyelashes are unusually clear and slender, and you can feel the softness through years of time and black-and-white images. texture.

However, the address and purchase contract of this German villa are attached below.

The buyer is Gu Mingzong.

Gu Yuan let go, all the papers floated back to the table without a sound, and he sank deeply in the armchair.

The fact was like a cruel slap, slapped him head-on, and Gu Yuan even heard that heavy bang—slap!

Severe pain mixed with sarcasm, spiraling up like a poisonous snake, injecting venom into the violently convulsed heart.

——That man is Gu Mingzong.

It was his powerful and unambiguous biological father.

The so-called being subsidized for both good character and learning, and the so-called young elite being hired by the head office are all gorgeous brocade quilts covered with dirty flesh.

Gu Yuan's chest rose and fell violently, and he let out a heavy breathing sound like a wounded beast.He suddenly remembered the groans and gasps he heard outside the bedroom door that day, one after another, poured into his ears without reservation, whipping every nerve in the central nervous system like an electric current; Just a little bit, you can push the door and go in to see all the dirty scenes.

But he didn't.

Gu Yuan is willing to pay any price, just to go back to that day and let him open that door.

Let him walk away alone at the beginning of the story, don't wait for him to sacrifice all his passion and love, and then find out that it is the abyss that leads to hell.

Just then the phone rang.

In the dark, Gu Yuan was like a frozen sculpture, from the time the bell rang until it was hung up, he didn't have the consciousness to move his fingers to connect.

However, a few seconds later, the phone rang again, with the momentum of swearing not to give up until it was connected, and it kept ringing in the empty office.

Gu Yuan finally lowered his head, only to see the mobile phone screen flickering in the dark, and it displayed impressively: Gu Yang.

"..." Gu Yuan finally got through the phone and said hoarsely, "Hello?"

"Brother, where are you? Can you come here? Something happened, my father locked me and my mother, and we are..."

Gu Yuan's entire consciousness was hot like magma, restless and dull, and he interrupted after a while: "Wait, what are you talking about? Who cares about you?"

"I don't know why my father suddenly turned his face and wanted to shut down my mother. It was too late when I rushed to intercede, and my father was also with me—" Gu Yang's voice was intermittent on the phone, because of emotional agitation and insufficient signal. It is very difficult to hear clearly: "Brother, please come and save the scene. I know my mother is sorry for you. If you can come here this time, we can discuss things in the future... I suspect that my father is going to kill my mother, so hurry up..."

Gu Yuan regained his sanity little by little, "Where are you?"

"Oh, I'm-"

There was a loud bang from the phone, like the sound of a door panel hitting the wall and bouncing back; Chi Wanru's exclamation followed, and the sound of footsteps came loudly, Gu Yang seemed to call out: "Who is that?" ?!" Then there was no sound.

"Gu Yang?" Gu Yuan suddenly stood up and shouted, "Gu Yang?!"

The call was cut off suddenly.

Gu Yuan immediately called back, but there was only a cold electronic tone on the phone, and it was transferred to Gu Yang's voicemail after a while: "Hello, this is Gu Yang, please leave a text message and a call back method, I will reply you as soon as possible ..."

"What's going on?!" Gu Yuan pressed the phone heavily, and suddenly heard a voice outside the door saying calmly: "Gu Mingzong wants to kill Chi Wanru."

Gu Yuan suddenly raised his head and saw Fang Jin standing at the door.

In the dim light and shadow, Fang Jin's figure is thin, his voice is hoarse, and one shoulder leans lightly on the door frame; he seems to have been drenched in the rain, his temple hair sticks to his snow-white side cheeks, and his shirt outlines a very thin and graceful body line .

Gu Yuan stared at him for a long while before slowly asking:

"Why are you here?"

His voice sounded calm at first, but when he listened carefully, there was a strange tremor at the end.

Fang Jin didn't answer. After a long time, he walked gently to the desk and looked down at the documents and pictures all over the desk.

From Gu Yuan's perspective, he couldn't see the expression on his face, but he could only see his head hanging slightly, and the line connecting his neck to his shoulders was smooth and slender; it was obviously a pleasing scene, but his muscles were strangely stiff, as if Once frozen in solid ice was extremely pale and cold.

"You know it all."

It's just five words, but it's like a bloody blade engulfing Li Feng, cutting off the air between the two of them.

For the first time, Gu Yuan realized that he could hate someone so much—a strong and distorted love-hate entanglement, like sulfuric acid scalding his throat alive, making his nasal cavity have a hot and sour breath when he breathed, and his speaking voice The hoarseness changed so much that even I couldn't imagine it: "—is it all true?"

The office was quiet, the heavy rain poured down, and the cold raindrops crackled on the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Farther away, the blurred lights of the city turned into a hazy ocean in the rain.

Fang Jin finally raised his head slightly to look at Gu Yuan, and said, "Really, but it's over."

Gu Yuan sneered, it was a sneer from the bottom of his heart: "So you were already Gu Mingzong's person when you first came to me, and when you were working for me, you were actually Gu Mingzong's lover on the other side, right?! "

Fang Jin was silent for a long time, and said, "Yes."

Gu Yuan clenched his back teeth tightly, and paused after a long while between his teeth: "What else do you want to say?!"

Tears poured out of Fang Jin's eyes slowly and uncontrollably, but in the darkness, no one could see the tiny watery light.

"...I really have no other way..."

His voice was very strange due to choking, and it was a long time before he managed to hold back the trembling: "I really love you, Gu Yuan..."

I love you.

These three words hit Gu Yuan's eardrums hard like a whip, and together with the phrase "I just want to keep the status quo with you" on the day he knelt down to offer the ring, they mixed into a violent flame, which roared and burned all over the place in an instant. took all his sanity.

Gu Yuan didn't realize what he was doing at all, he almost lost control of his body, he just raised his hand and slapped him hard!

--Snapped!

The palm touched the cheek, and there was a loud bang, and Fang Jin was instantly knocked to the ground by a huge force!

With a muffled bang, Fang Jin fell to the ground, his vision went black in an instant, and there was only a buzzing sound in his eardrums.

His mouth was completely numb and he didn't feel any sensation. It wasn't until several seconds later that the pain slowly surfaced to the surface of the nerves. The severe pain of thousands of needles piercing into his cheek at the same time made him firmly grasp the carpet.

At this time, he subconsciously knew that he looked too embarrassed, he wanted to stand up, at least he could face Gu Yuan upright, but when he got up, he felt a fishy sweet rushing straight into his nose and throat.

He raised his hand to cover his nasal cavity, but it was too late—the next second, blood almost gushed out, and then he spit out a big mouthful of blood!
