drowning tide

On the top floor of Shengjiang Shipping, Wen Zhicheng in front of the desk wanted to hang his head to his chest several times, and within a few seconds after waking up, he started pecking rice again.

A five-star hotel he invested in Wen’s family has long-term private rooms, and he usually sleeps with young models and stars there, and spends most of his nights here—the lounge behind the office is where he hides. , The most inviolable private space, even his most trusted confidants cannot easily enter.

"Boss Wen."

A middle-aged man with an ordinary face came in, but Wen Zhicheng's eyes lit up the moment he saw him, "Two ten minutes late." He coughed, and pointed to the clock over there in a pretentious manner.

"I'm sorry for being late, I wasted a little time on the way."

This person is one of his confidantes. His surname is Wu, and his name is Xin. He is shrewd and smooth. All the time he was thinking that this person might not be the roundworm in his stomach.

Wen Zhicheng drank a lot more than the others at the table, and even though he drank a bowl of hangover soup half an hour ago, his mind was still wandering, "I can't talk about it tomorrow, you have to call me out in the middle of the night. "

"I don't dare to be negligent about what you explained. I will send it to you as soon as I find it. You can sleep well after reading it, can't you?"

"Just make me happy, one thing on the surface and another thing on the back."

Wen Zhicheng snorted, but it seemed that the compliment to him was very rewarding, and his mood improved a lot.

Just like the emperor in ancient times would deliberately keep two treacherous ministers by his side, there is no boss who does not like to be flattered, especially when compared with a rigid guy like Yin Yuan.Yin Yuan, Wen Zhicheng got stuck at the mention of this name. He had prepared the speech at the birthday party for at least half a month, thinking that he could use this to turn himself over from the battle with Wen Fan. Who would have thought that his father would not please him but would cause a commotion. Because of some crap that he didn't understand himself, he was scolded head-on and face-to-face, and his face would be wiped clean.

Unable to swallow this breath, he asked Wu Xin to thoroughly investigate the whole matter when he came back, resolutely not to be the last person kept in the dark.

"That's all?"

"I promise, that's all I can find out."

Wen Zhicheng took the thick stack of materials and flipped through them casually, "Oh, my dad was talking about him at the time, no wonder it sounds familiar to me."

Nie Yuansheng, the founder of Shengjiang Shipping who he took over, the short-lived ghost he cursed like that a few days ago is also the culprit of his father Wen Zhengting's gaffe in public—at least he thinks so.

In addition to Nie Yuansheng, Wu Xin also investigated his family.

"This short-lived ghost is very lucky. He married such a beautiful wife. Tsk, if only half of my wife is as beautiful." Turning to the page of Wen Zhicheng's spouse, Wen Zhicheng rubbed his chin, his eyes gleaming with lust. Light.He had an impression of the name Jiang Xue. She was a very popular TV actress back then, and she played many well-known roles. She was a goddess-level figure in the hearts of many people of their generation. Husband's hind foot dead son, no matter how beautiful I dare not have it."

It is clearly written in black and white that Nie Yuansheng died of a heart attack. Not long after his death, his only son Nie Xicheng was in a car accident due to excessive grief. The wife Jiang Xue who was left behind was mentally disturbed. Life and death are unknown.

"The old man should be the one he said." Excited to be about to reveal the answer, Wen Zhicheng turned to the part where his son Nie Xicheng was recorded, and then hissed in disappointment.

Because Nie Yuansheng protected his family very closely during his lifetime, this Nie Xicheng did not leave a clear image—many candid shots from a distance and a ID photo with blurred edges are all.

Restricted by technology and preservation conditions at the time, these candid photos have a sense of antiquity. Sometimes Nie Xicheng in the photos is alone, sometimes two people.As for the second person who appeared frequently, Wen Zhicheng only regarded him as a relative's child or Nie Xicheng's good friend.

In the end, he stared at the handsome young man in the ID photo for a long time, "The old man must be confused, he looks a little like him, but he is only so big, and he will change when he grows up, how can he be so sure..." He said halfway Suddenly remembering that this person is no longer in this world, he laughed and said, "Besides, there are death certificates. Can a person who has been dead for so many years still cheat his body? Don't tell me the old man did a lot of bad things when he was young... he did a lot..."

His wobbly eyes fell on that time again, and a chill ran down his spine.Ten years ago, he remembered that this happened to be the time when the Wen family made a fortune. Although his father had a little money before, he was definitely not the kind of person who would turn Rongcheng upside down like he is now.

The Wen family started out as gangsters. He heard from his uncles about the past. At that time, his father Wen Zhengting was cruel and would do anything for money. This is how they have a good life now.Out of a certain intuition, he turned back to the first few pages and searched earnestly.

Sure enough, after Nie Yuansheng's death, most of the properties under his name fell into the hands of his father Wen Zhengting, and Sheng Jiang Shipping, which he is now in charge of, is only one of them.

"It shouldn't be such a coincidence. Didn't this Nie Yuansheng die of illness...?" He muttered to himself, and the more he talked, the more likely he felt that it was possible. He subconsciously rubbed the goose bumps on his arms, and then lowered his head to look at Nie Yuansheng's photo again. .

I don't know if it's because of his psychology. He felt that the man in the photo was staring at him eeriely, and he instantly understood his father's feelings at that time—the whole family was killed, he was crazy, and then suddenly saw a The dead person looks a bit like the assistant, and everyone thinks this scene is really scary, "No wonder I feel nervous when I see someone who looks alike, and I would feel sorry for me."

Seeing his pale face, Wu Xin asked tentatively, "Is there anything else?"

"It's okay, you can go back." Wen Zhicheng came back to his senses, waved his hand and told him that it's okay, "I'm tired today too, I'll reward you another day."

After sending Wu Xin away, he put away the materials, opened the small door on one side and entered the bedroom inside.

It was originally a lounge and a storage room. After he took over, he felt that it was too shabby, so he broke through the walls and redecorated it according to his preferences. Now it is not inferior to the bedroom in the Wen family mansion.

He was lying on the bed, feeling very annoyed, picked up his cell phone and dialed Yin Yuan's number.

"Yin Yuan, did you send Yi Huai back? Don't you want to tell me when you go back?" After the call was connected, he unceremoniously questioned him, [-]% of which he really wanted to know, and the remaining [-]% Chengdu is venting its anger.

The man on the phone spoke very gently, "I just got home and was about to leave a message for you. Haven't you rested yet?"

"You don't need to worry about this. Did Yi Huai tell you anything? What is Luo Yi's tone?"

Listening to Yin Yuan's narration, the anxiety in his heart calmed down a bit, "That's enough, I'll talk about the rest tomorrow, I'm tired. By the way, since that Yi Huai likes you so much, you should Follow him, bear with him, it will be good for our business, after all, he is..."

Looking back on what happened in the car before, he was disgusted and felt that there was no end to the world.As long as it has something to do with the word homosexuality, many things suddenly have answers. It turned out to be like this. No wonder Luo Yi has not had a decent person around him for so many years, no wonder this Yi Huai has been reused like this just after graduation.

"What is it?"

Yin Yuan didn't seem to understand what he meant, he smacked his lips, it would be boring to talk about such things, "What else could it be, of course it's Luo Yi's lover."

·

Luo Yi put the empty cup on the table and made a moderate sound.

This blow seemed to hit Yi Huai's heart directly, making his fingertips numb.The shallow light fell on his face, making his face paler and bloodless.

"You must be thinking now, when will this damn Luo Yi go out." Luo Yi pointed at the chair rebelliously, "Stop standing, it's not like you're lecturing, you're so tired."

Yi Huai pulled out the chair and sat down obediently.No matter how many years have passed, when he was alone with Luo Yi, he felt that he was always that bewildered young man, without any possibility of resistance. "No, I didn't think so."

"Duplicity again. I know you're not feeling well. I'll give you a leave of absence tomorrow morning. Can we have a good talk now?"

"Thank you. What do you want to say?"

Luo Yi showed him a kind smile, although in Yi Huai's eyes this smile was no different from a threat, "I've been wondering what made you pay so much attention to that assistant Yin's affairs."

"It's okay, I didn't pay special attention." Yi Huai forced himself to return to his usual composure—the breathing rate was still a little disordered, but his expression and body language were under control.

"You don't fall in love with him at first sight, do you? I never thought of you being gay before."

"how is this possible."

Luo Yi's smile deepened, "How is that impossible? You never fell in love when you were studying, right? It's possible that you suddenly have a heartbeat now. Young people, don't suppress yourself too much, you should try everything... Well, at least that's what Fei Chuan told me before."

"I still don't need it." It was Fei Chuan's heresy again, and Yi Huai shook his head cautiously, "I don't plan to think about this kind of thing for the time being."

"Okay, if you want to fall in love, remember to tell me."

At this moment, Luo Yi looked very talkative, which made Yi Huai's heart ring with alarm.

"You're not gay, so my guess won't work. I have another guess, do you want to hear it?" Before Yi Huai could answer, Luo Yi continued on his own, "Actually, Yin Yuan is a pseudonym. There is another identity, and that identity happens to be known to both of you and me."

"He must be Nie Xicheng who came back to take revenge after changing his name and surname."

Too many things happened that night, so when Luo Yi said that name, he was not more shocked, "Really?"

From the moment Luo Yi said that he was investigating Yin Yuan's identity, he knew that it was only a matter of time before he was exposed.

"It's a reasonable guess, but there's not enough evidence to back it up. If there was, I wouldn't ask you that question. Judging by your reaction, I think there's a 99% chance that I'm right."

Luo Yi didn't get the desired reaction from him, Luo Yi looked a little disappointed, "When my people brought him out of the warehouse, he would be covered in blood. I don't even remember what he looked like. By the way, do you want to know? How miserable was he at that time?"

Yi Huai didn't speak, but nodded lightly.

At that time he was locked up by Luo Yi, and even though he asked him several times afterwards, Luo Yi never said a word to him.

Even though he was somewhat afraid of the truth, he knew that it would be very difficult for him to know if he missed this opportunity.

"There is not a piece of skin on my body that is healthy. The injuries I can recognize include knife wounds and burns. Several bones were broken including the ribs. Because of the hot weather, the wounds began to fester and smell very bad..." Luo Yi observed him for a few seconds, "You don't drink so well? Your face is pale, if I stay any longer, will you spit it out in front of me?"

"...I'm fine."

"Yi Huai, remember who you are working for now." Speaking of the topic, the smile on Luo Yi's face gradually disappeared, leaving only a thick haze.

He didn't seem to be in a good mood.Yi Huai thought, he probably knew who Luo Yi was going to see tonight, and every time he got angry with her, Luo Yi would double ask for it back from him, and he just ran into the gun again .

"Just do what I ask you to do, and do your job well. I can ignore other small actions that are not too outrageous. Do you understand what I mean?"
