drowning tide

Yi Huai didn't say anything to Uncle Chen's angry words, "I went in to look at Lawyer He. Although the possibility was very low, I was still afraid that he would vomit suddenly, and the vomit would get stuck in his throat and suffocate me to death."

When He Zhang in the living room saw him coming in, he immediately let out a vague cry from his throat.He still can't speak normally. It's not known whether it's the side effect of inhaling a lot or anxiety. The shirt on his body is soaked with sweat.

"Lawyer He, I know you are very disturbed because you have betrayed Wen Fan." Yi Huai opened the chair and sat down, folded his hands on his knees, his upper body was level with He Zhang, and his eyes were level, "I can assure you of this, Anyone can except Wen Ershao, Wen Ershao will never sit in that position, and following him is a real dead end... Take a step back, even if Wen Ershao really sits on his blood-stained seat Throne, do you think he will keep you as an insider in this world? You are a smart person, compared to forging a will, which is so risky and not necessarily rewarding, isn't it easier to publish the will truthfully?"

In fact, he felt it when he first investigated He Zhang. He Zhang was not unaware of Wen Fan's ups and downs. If he was really loyal to Wen Fan to that extent, then he would never be caught by himself If you are scared, you will recruit them all.

"Are you curious about who is the person behind me, and who put in so much effort to help Mr. Wen to the top?"

He Zhang half closed his eyes and nodded slightly.If Wen Zhicheng had the ability to kidnap a dragon and extract a confession from the man in front of him, what happened to Wen Fan today, when he came back to his senses, he would be so curious that he would explode. How could Wen Zhicheng be able to send such a magic weapon from heaven?

Yi Huai hooked the corners of his lips, leaned close to his ear and whispered something, "The person behind me is Mr. Luo Yiluo, Er Shao Wen will have to bear the consequences if he is on the wrong team, you understand, right?" ?”

Hearing the name Luo Yi, He Zhang's pupils constricted suddenly, and he took a quick breath. Even if he was given another brain, he never thought that this person would be Luo Yi.

Wen Fan is fledgling, so it's fine to fight for the inheritance with Wen Zhicheng, but it's really not qualified to fight against Luo Yi.

Before he could say a few more words, Uncle Chen came in. While pulling away, he casually straightened the folds of his shirt, making sure that he looked as good as he just got off the negotiating table at all times, "There is a result gone?"

"Yes." Uncle Chen glanced at He Zhang, who trembled for a moment, Yi Huai understood his hint, and followed him to the side to talk about business.

"Can you talk now?"

Uncle Chen said coldly, "Wen Zhicheng is being locked up here in Changgang Wharf, Old Port, Warehouse B."

There was a trace of contempt in his tone, full of dissatisfaction with Wen Zhicheng's need to stab someone in such an emergency.

"What are you going to do? Inform the Xu family to save people?" Yi Huai leaned against the window sill, the dark night was dark in the narrow alley, and occasionally one or two windows that refused to be extinguished could be seen, "Xu Qin is suspicious by nature. , moody, informing her is tantamount to revealing her identity, I guess Nie Xicheng doesn't want Xu Qin to interfere too much in the Wen family's internal affairs, so you plan to send someone to rescue yourself."

Uncle Chen acquiesced to what he said, "His people just sent me the internal structure diagram of Changgang Wharf, and I have already asked someone to make preparations."

Changgang Wharf is near the Shengtian Wharf where Nie Xicheng was imprisoned, and it is also not open to the public, so at this time, Nie Xicheng sent a schematic diagram of the internal structure, which can be said to be a great help to Uncle Chen.

"I'll go as well."

"You?" Uncle Chen, seemed to have heard some shocking joke, and almost laughed out loud, "Do you think I don't know? Moderate concussion, not lying down and resting is all supported by painkillers, you go there What's the use?"

Yi Huai touched the gun holster around his waist subconsciously. The texture of leather and metal made me feel at ease instinctively, but his palms were covered with cold sweat, which he wiped carefully on his clothes, "I won't hold back .”

"If you go, I'll immediately tell them to give up their preparations, just stay here honestly and don't cause trouble." Uncle Chen, who had been devastated for a few days, finally found a chance to win back, his expression was full of condescending pleasure and sarcasm, " As if you would threaten people?"

"Uncle Chen," Yi Huai was caught off guard. He thought that Uncle Chen would object, but he didn't expect such a strong objection, "I..."

"No way, no way." Uncle Chen tapped the floor with his crutch, "This matter is not for discussion."

"I support the old man in this matter."

Someone came in again, Yi Huai looked up, it was his exclusive bodyguard He Kun.

Unlike the pale and slightly haggard Yi Huai, He Kun, who was used to the upside-down day and night, still looked energetic, "Mr. Yi, it's not up to you whether you delay or not. Wen Fan's people are all professional bodyguards." , we all have to do our best to rescue the hostages, and we don’t have time to pay attention to your safety. If something happens to you, I will not be able to explain it to Mr. Luo.” He paused, “Although it is said that bodyguards get such high salaries just to work for their employers. , but if you can reduce the risk, your life is much more valuable than you think, and I can't afford it."

As the time passed, Yi Huai looked straight at him, and he looked back with neither humbleness nor condescension, his expression seemed to say, "Please don't trouble me again, young master."

On the one hand, time was tight, on the other hand, Yi Huai didn't like to cause trouble for others since he was a child, so he simply took a step back and stopped insisting on his own opinion, "I hope you can participate in the rescue."

For a professional bodyguard like He Kun, how to properly respond to kidnapping and rescue is a compulsory course.

He Kun didn't move, and Yi Huai, who knew what he meant, sighed, "I understand, I will give you as much bonus as Luo Yi gives you every year if the matter is successful, and I must bring Wen Zhicheng back alive."

"Really?" The mention of Qian Hekun's eyes obviously lit up, "But...do you have money? Boss Luo gave me quite a lot of bonuses."

Seeing that he accepted his proposal, Yi Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and said as calmly as possible, "I still have a little savings, you can collect a part of the deposit first, is that enough?"

·

After He Kun finished the preparations, he took people to Changgang Wharf for rescue. He Zhang was taken to the next room to rest and was strictly guarded. In the living room, only Yi Huai and Uncle Chen were sitting on the sofa.

Yi Huai silently handled emails at work on his laptop—probably the aftereffects of his [-]-to-[-] routine in the past, which made him not forget about work even in this situation.There must be something wrong with me, he thought bitterly.

When he pressed Enter for the last time, he raised his head and said the first sentence to Uncle Chen in the past two hours, "Uncle Chen, I just found out some interesting news, at 10 o'clock in the morning San Francisco time yesterday, that is, we In the early hours of the morning here, someone initiated a hostile acquisition of Tianshi under Wen Fan's name, forcing Wen Fan to hold an emergency board meeting at this point, do you know who this black knight is?"

It has not been half a year since Wen Fan's company went public, and the alliance company is Wen's body. How could he have imagined that such a hostile merger would happen at this point in time.The room leak happened to be raining overnight, and the black knight who initiated the merger was well prepared. He had accomplices and means of discord, and the two major shareholders turned against each other one after another.

Regardless of the final result of the merger, the only thing that can be confirmed in this tug-of-war is that Wen Fan's energy will be largely dispersed.

"Didn't you guess everything?" Uncle Chen frowned. He really didn't like his speaking style, which was full of twists and turns. It was not at all like the shy and silent boy in the past.

"It's different." Yi Huai closed the notebook and put it aside, "Guessing is one kind of feeling, but hearing it with my own ears is another. I like exact things, and I don't like ambiguous, specious guessing games."

On the surface, he was talking about Tianshi's malicious merger and acquisition, but in fact he was thinking about other things.

In the past 20 years, his life has been full of too many uncertainties. Everyone has reservations about him and likes to keep him in the dark, so he really doesn't want more difficult to get. Understand the mixed feelings.

Why did Nie Xicheng want to kiss him, why did he say those words, what was that unspoken sentence, why did his heart beat as if he wanted to break free from his chest when he thought of these, he had a vague and beautiful thought, but I don't know if it should be regarded as the optimal solution to the problem.All these things needed an answer, an answer that made him suddenly realize that "it was like this".

Uncle Chen raised one eyelid calmly, "Yi Huai, I've been observing you for the past few days."

"Then what do you see?"

In the past few days, he had already noticed that Uncle Chen's eyes fell on him from time to time, including the moment when he was concentrating on his work just now, Uncle Chen didn't look away.

Uncle Chen looked at him, showing a rare hesitation. He pressed his temple, "Just tell me, I won't mind."

"You have changed a lot. Maybe you don't feel it yourself. Your behavior style and every move have become like another person. I am not familiar with this person, but if you think about it..."

"You said I became like Luo Yi?"

Uncle Chen didn't know the twists and turns, he thought Luo Yi was his mother-killing enemy, so he looked a bit embarrassed, "It's about the same."

"Is that so?" A complex emotion flashed in Yi Huai's eyes, except that he didn't have the anger and hysteria that Uncle Chen had imagined, but rather the indifference after a broken jar, "I have lived with him for ten years, and it is inevitable Rendering eyes. But this is also good, I used to be a weak coward, I was in a hurry when encountering things, not to say that I have become better now, at least I can stand up."

When he stood up, he staggered because of his dizziness, but luckily he pressed down on the back of the sofa in time, "Uncle Chen, go to sleep for a while, they still have a lot of things to do when they come back."

Apart from the matter of Nie Xicheng, he started to trace his own life experience again.If he and Luo Yi were half-brothers, then many of the hatreds between him and Luo Yi would no longer be tenable, except for one thing, that is his biological mother, whose whereabouts are still unknown.

Was she really killed by Luo Yi?Why did Mo Zhengya know where her ashes were?

·

Yi Huai didn't sleep for a long time. At dawn, He Kun and Uncle Chen came back covered in blood. He got up from the bed and went to them.

"You are hurt?"

The face of the former bodyguard who bled profusely to protect him and finally left him with a lifelong disability flashed in his mind, and Yi Huai looked at He Kun nervously.

"It's all other people's blood." He Kun took off the blood-stained shirt and threw it aside. Yi Huai made sure that there was no obvious trauma on his body before giving up.

"Where is Wen Zhicheng?"

"In the back." He Kun's spirit was tense to the extreme all night, and he felt a little sleepy when he relaxed, "I'll take a rest first, and call me when you have something to do."

Uncle Chen was getting old and hadn't woken up yet. Yi Huai first went to check on He Zhang to make sure that he was alive and well, and then followed the others to the basement where Wen Zhicheng was imprisoned.

The doctor was there to treat Wen Zhicheng's wounds and other simple first aid measures. It is worth noting that Wen Fan never thought of letting his elder brother survive, so he was not provided with food and drinking water at all, which led to Wen Zhicheng's current situation. Symptoms of mild dehydration.

"Okay, let him eat liquid food for a few days first, don't be too greasy." After finishing what he should do, the doctor briefly explained to Yi Huai who was waiting outside, then packed up his things and prepared to leave.

"I will."

Wen Zhicheng, who was lying on the bed for infusion, was pale and his eyes dodged. Yi Huai sat across from him and clearly saw Wen Zhicheng tremble violently because of the movement he made.

"Mr. Wen, shouldn't you say thank you to your savior?"

Wen Zhicheng turned around slowly. During the whole process, he was careful to avoid the wound on his body. His cloudy eyes stared at Yi Huai with disbelief written all over them.

A few days ago, how could he have thought that he would see this person again in this situation.

"You...you..." Wen Zhicheng couldn't explain why for a long time.

"What's wrong with me?"

Due to lack of sleep, Yi Huai had obvious dark circles under his eyes, but these did not damage the very cold and sharp aura around him.

Others don't know, but Wen Zhicheng knows best who he looks like.

"I saved your life. If my people arrive half an hour later, you will be sunk in a container. Is it too much for me to say thank you?"

It has to be said that Wen Fan thought of going with him in terms of killing people and exterminating them. The remains were thrown into the sea, the flesh and blood were eaten by fish, and the skeleton remains were affected by ocean currents and drifted far away where they could not be salvaged. There was no proof of the real death.

"Thank... thank you." Wen Zhicheng was reminded by him, and it took him a long time to make a vague sound.

Looking at this person from this angle, he looks extraordinarily young, and that beautiful outline seems to have been seen elsewhere...Wen Zhicheng has been confused for most of his life, and it is rare for him to be smart a few times, such as this time, he rarely I remembered where I had seen this look before.

His eyeballs were about to be pulled out of their sockets, and they were full, "You are...the other person in the photo."

Yi Huai who didn't know what he was talking about raised his eyebrows, as if he was asking a question.

Wen Zhicheng's vocal cords were injured, his voice was very hoarse, and he would stop after a few words, "I... I checked the affairs of Nie's family, and the person with Nie Xicheng...is you, right? "

He raised the hand without the infusion and gestured slowly, "There are... two boys in the photo."

"Although I don't know when the photo was taken, I should be right." Yi Huai sat sideways on the chair, the morning light swept by his side, illuminating the ends of his hair brightly, and his eyes were like Transparent glass, "I lived with him."

The boy with Nie Xicheng in the photo is Yi Huai, Wen Zhicheng thought in horror, in this case, the reason why he would show such great interest in Yin Yuan is because...

Yi Huai watched with interest as his complexion changed like a palette, "Yes, there was no such person as Yin Yuan from the beginning, and I recognized him as Nie Xicheng at the first sight." Yes Nie Xicheng belongs to me, not your Yin Yuan, so I don't like to see him with you and your daughter.He didn't say the second half of the sentence.Both he and Nie Xicheng hated the Wen family, especially Wen Zhengting, all the tragedies were caused by him, and he had to atone for what he had done.

As if struck by lightning, Wen Zhicheng opened his mouth, not caring about letting the needle on the back of his hand pierce a blood vessel, struggling desperately, a hoarse cry leaked from his throat, like a desperate beast.
