Outside the clubhouse, six or seven police cars lined up, sirens were disturbing, and three policemen were arguing with the manager at the door.
When Gu Zhuozhuo arrived, the police had already entered the top floor of the building, leaned out from the window, and took long sticks to send up the coat to keep out the cold.The building is four stories high. Lin Xi lay on the edge and stretched her arms, looking terrified.
"Linxi!" Gu Zhuozhuo shouted, the boy who got the clothes looked down in surprise, waved his hands overjoyed, and was speechless.
When Gu Zhuozhuo saw that he was doing well, he was half relieved. A female policeman came over to stop him: "The police are handling the case..."
"I'm the reporter." Gu Zhuozhuo said in a deep voice, striding towards the door: "How are you doing now?"
"Oh, oh!" The policewoman didn't know much about it. She only heard that one party in the dispute had a big background. She followed Gu Zhuozhao calmly and explained, "We are from the North District Police Station. We came quickly. The Municipal Bureau attaches great importance to it." , also sent people, still on the way... The roof is protruding, we judged that the trapped person was not in good health, so we didn't let him climb the window. The fire alarm will arrive within 5 minutes, and a ladder will be used to take him down..."
She paused, then watched Gu Zhuozhuo walk towards the manager blocking the door, and hurriedly said: "The manager is not very cooperative, but we have colleagues who have already gone in."
"How is this possible! We open our doors to do business, and the licenses are all complete. If you don't believe me, why don't you check it out? The fire department is coming? Our fire department has just been rectified. It is audited once a year, and it is a certificate issued by a professional organization!" The fat manager spit all over the place, and two other doormen stood on the left and right, echoing from time to time.
The faces of the three policemen were ugly, and they were short-staffed. One of them said, "Since you have a clear conscience, you should treat it as our routine inspection."
"Inspection!" The manager waved his hand: "I have nothing to say! Just inspect it! But didn't you all go in... What did you find out? Our home is a high-end club, and many directors and directors come to discuss things. If you delay the business, you will compensate Is it disrupting my business, I want to report it!"
"Report, right? I'll report that all of you will gather together to xi|du." Gu Zhuozhuo interrupted him, and signaled to the three policemen: "Go in, talk nonsense with him, leave two people to block the back door, don't even think about leaving today .”
"Hey!?" When the pot of dirty water was poured down, the manager was anxious: "Okay, what are you talking about? You can't just slander me!"
"That's what I said. If I can't find out, I will compensate you. Why are you guilty?" Just as Gu Zhuozhuo finished speaking, the sound of police sirens came from afar.
This time there was quite a battle, and as soon as the firefighters arrived, they began to set up ladders and lay out anti-fall mats. Gu Zhuozhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it.
Seeing this, the manager was sweating profusely, knowing that he couldn't stop it, so he had to back away unwillingly, and let the policemen rush in the door.
"Mr. Gu." A capable plainclothes man came over: "We have figured out the matter, and several exits have been surrounded."
Gu Zhuozhuo walked towards the ladder, "We must catch the person, and check in every box, no matter what your identity is, you don't have to worry."
The plainclothes said: "Yes." Then he led people into the club.
Gu Zhuozhuo raised his head, and there were voices of people shouting and moving equipment everywhere.He saw Lin Xi come down a little bit surrounded by the crowd, looking at him uneasily from time to time.
Five minutes later, Lin Xi, who had been in a state of shock all night, finally stepped on the ground trembling, her legs softened and she almost knelt down, but Gu Zhuozhuo reached out to catch her.
"Senior Gu..." Lin Xi couldn't bear it anymore, and threw herself into Gu Zhuozhuo's arms like a little chicken.
Hearing the restrained crying in his arms, Gu Zhuozhuo felt pity in his heart and touched his head to comfort him.
"Go ahead, don't stand outside and blow the air." After he finished speaking, he took Linxi and everyone moved indoors.The fat manager was outnumbered and did not dare to confront them, so he welcomed them into the lobby in despair.
At this moment, Lin Xi had recovered a little. Although her eyes were swollen and her voice was hoarse, she still said firmly, "They are on the second floor B076. If I remember correctly...not too far from the toilet."
***
Asking Lin Xi to explain the matter to the police, Gu Zhuozhuo got up first to find Wen Yue.
Now he belatedly recalled what he did just now, his face was hot, and the closer he got to the phantom, the more disturbed he felt.
But Wen Yue was actually sitting in the car without moving.
"Okay?" Wen Yue rolled down the car window, his eyes were cold: "Can I go?"
Gu Zhuozhao couldn't tell whether it was teasing, ridiculing, or anger...
"It's okay, it's okay." He could only giggle twice, and opened the door for Wen Yue.
They were speechless all the way, and as soon as the two entered the lobby, they heard Lin Xi's hoarse voice.
"...I work in a coffee shop. After meeting three times, he started to buy me coffee. He was the only one who ordered two cups of coffee, one for himself and one for me. I think he is very nice, but also I'm very sorry... Then he invited me to dinner, and I couldn't go anymore."
Seeing Gu Zhuozhao and the others coming, Lin Xi nodded and continued.
"He was very kind to me. At that time, I just missed the entrance to Haixi Opera. I was very sad. Once I walked on the bridge after work, holding the railing to watch the river... He happened to pass by. Maybe he thought I couldn't think about it. He pulled me away anxiously and scolded me. That was the time when he said he would lend me money and send me to Zhongsheng’s training class.”
If it weren't for the stinky insider revealed at the end, just listening to Lin Xi's experience, it would be like the development in an idol drama.
The poor boy had a dream, but was persecuted by the bad guys. When he was disheartened, a gentle elder brother saved him from the fire and water.Lin Xi’s big brother Lin is a very hard-working person. He claims that he wants to become an excellent director and travels around all day. Because of the lack of opportunities, he has to work everywhere to make a living and save his future filmmaking capital.
Gu Zhuozhuo felt that it was quite true. There are indeed many low-level directors who are struggling to survive because of their ideals.
It is such "Brother Lin", in order to help Lin Xi, he took out his [-] savings to support him in pursuing his dream.Therefore, Lin Xi believed in him deeply and was determined.
until today.
"What is his name Lin?" Gu Zhuozhuo suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Ah, it's Lin Hao." Lin Xi replied.
Lin Hao.
Gu Zhuozhuo frowned more and more, and a ridiculous thought kept circling.
At this time, his clenched fist was suddenly wrapped, and he suddenly lowered his head, it was Wen Yue's hand.
"Don't be nervous." Wen Yue whispered.
Only then did Gu Zhuozhuo realize that his nails had left red marks on his palms, which would break with a little more force.
"... I went into the private room, there was a middle-aged man, his appearance... I don't remember exactly, but he was quite old, forty? Fifty? I don't know... He has deep nasolabial folds on his face ..."
Lin Xi recalled that because she was too nervous just now and was asked to bow her head by Brother Lin, her memory was a little fuzzy.
"...Brother Lin asked me to call him Mr. K..."
"!!!" Gu Zhuozhao and Wen Yue opened their eyes wide at the same time.
Noticing the movement here, the plainclothes police turned to them and asked them, "What's the meaning of this code name? What do you know?"
Mr K? Mr. J!
The organization with the code name, that mysterious black website, must have something to do with Lin Jian!
Gu Zhuozhuo broke away from Wen Yue's hand, his body was tense, and he called the two policemen to run upstairs: "I'll go and have a look!"
Wen Yue didn't follow, but started talking with the plainclothes.
***
The second floor.
The sound of the police sirens was continuous, and the red and blue lights were reflected on the outer wall of the clubhouse.
Lin Jian anxiously observed the situation outside in the corner private room, and was so angry that his seven orifices smoked.
How dare this little thing! ?
Mr. K got up slowly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Lin Jian, you brought the little things before they are fully raised... You will also make such a low-level mistake?"
Lin Jian was so angry that he took a few deep breaths before he calmed down. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's familiar, it must be familiar. Today is an accident!"
Mr. K sneered: "Accident... You have had a lot of accidents recently..."
"..." Lin Jian stopped answering the conversation, and looked out the window, his eyes tearing open.
Linxi was the goal he had spent half a year raising.
At first, Lin Xi was chosen to work in a coffee shop because of her shy and pretty appearance and her status as a minor.
There is a generally accepted experience in the organization - underage children are the best cheaters.
They often lack understanding of society, naively believe that good things that happen to them are inevitable, and have more courage to pursue their dreams than adults.
Anything, once coated with the icing of dreams, will make the teenagers rush to it desperately.
Lin Jian picked him, talked to him, and asked him after a few trials, did he ever think about entering the showbiz because he is so beautiful?
When asked this question, Lindsay was standing in the sun in her cafe uniform, holding a tray.At that time, his eyes lit up instantly, making Lin Jian think of a person he hadn't seen for a long time.
Ten years ago, Young Master Gu was only Lin Xi's age, and he was more innocent and deceitful than him.
Lin Jian was also a novice at that time, but he didn't use any skills to deceive Gu Zhuozhuo. Basically, he bought him two cups of milk tea, and it made people follow him all day long and call him big brother.
If it wasn't for the fire at the pier, and he accidentally learned of Gu Zhuozhuo's background and stopped in time, he might have died [-] times.
After that, Lin Jian did countless tasks, but Gu Zhuozhao's failed case still made him brood.
Now he looked at Lin Xi, who was just as young, and his heart became more and more distorted.
He decided to make the line a little longer.
But accidents followed one after another. First, he saw Gu Zhuozhao on TV, then he sent Lin Xi to the bell, and then a deal was discovered, and the organization spent a lot of resources to help him deal with the aftermath.
This caused dissatisfaction among several people including Mr. K.
Lin Jian's report was also ignored. Almost no one believed that this "Master Gu" who suddenly entered the entertainment industry would stay in the industry for a long time and have any impact on their work.
Only Lin Jian was anxious.
He heard all kinds of things about "Senior Gu" from Lin Xi's mouth, and the more he heard, the more frightened he became, knowing that this would not work.The better the relationship between Lin Xi and that person, the easier it is to escape from his control. He made a decision to break one of Lin Xi's wings first.
As long as he has a handle in his hands, Lin Xi must listen to himself. In this way, he has planted a pawn beside Young Master Gu.
Never expected that it was just a momentary negligence of overconfidence, which allowed this little thing to take advantage of the loophole!
What he didn't expect was that Lin Xi actually recruited Young Master Gu!
Mr. K's decree lines are more profound, and his eyelids are drooping: "A low-level guy with no power and no power, calling the police can cause such a big battle...Twenty police cars, the city bureau equipped|guns are dispatched..."
"...Is it my fault?" Lin Jian circled around in front of the window, breathing heavily: "How could I have thought of it? Did you think of it again!?"
The two looked at each other in the dark room, and Mr. K was silent for a moment: "That's the young master of the Gu family, how could he come here in the middle of the night for a child?"
Lin Jian became angry, and his simple and honest face became ferocious.
After a while he said tiredly: "But he's already here. I said earlier that Young Master Gu has a pure personality and is easy to deceive. It's not surprising that he is willing to run around for a junior in the company. Lin Xi has said countless times to Senior Gu in front of me. How nice it is to them, it is because you feel that you don’t need to pay attention to it, which caused the current situation.”
Mr. K took a sip of his tea and said: "Don't get angry, J, we'll talk about that later. Now, you deal with him."
Lin Jian closed his eyes, feeling dissatisfied, but didn't say anything more.
He watched Mr. K change into a cleaner's clothes, put on a fake beard, and pushed the door out, while he looked at the siren outside the door.
It doesn't matter, Lin Jian thought to himself, he still has a trump card - the friendship from ten years ago.
He is [-]% sure that Gu Zhuozhuo still recognizes him.
After all, they ate and lived together ten years ago, and he almost cheated the young master.If he hadn't suddenly learned of Young Master Gu's identity, Lin Jian would never let this beautiful butterfly go easily.
At that time, Gu Shaoqing was young and cute, flying around him every day, he believed everything he said, and the adoration in his eyes was not fake.
Lin Jian recalled the past, walked slowly back to the previous box B076, sat down, and poured himself a few glasses of wine.
Gu Shao believed in himself, he must be very happy to reunite after a long absence.At this time, if he acts out and recalls the past, Young Master Gu will definitely be inclined to believe him.At this time, it is appropriate to sell miserably, and Young Master Gu will even feel guilty.
So, it was a blessing in disguise.
After all, Lin Xi is just a rookie actor, Gu Shao must be the master behind Zhong Sheng's company.If you have a good relationship with the authority center, your status in the organization will definitely improve in the future.
As for Lin Xi, once she is calmed down, Lin Xi will know how big a fuss he made to call the police, and her sense of guilt will be even stronger.
In this way, as long as he adds some guidance in his words, he can create a situation where "it's nothing but Lin Xi thinking too much".
Lin Jian straightened his mind and felt relieved, when there were chaotic footsteps at the door.
people come.
He collected himself, stood up, and made a flustered expression.After three seconds of silence, the door was kicked open!
"Don't move!" shouted the policeman, "Stand against the wall! Is there another person? -- Search again!"
Lin Jian gritted his teeth and followed suit, looking around the crowd in a casual manner.Gu Zhuozhao is not here?Lindsey isn't there either!
He didn't say a word, he waited for the police to search the inside and outside of the box, thinking about what to say in order to see Gu Shao...
At this time, another group of people came outside the door.
He raised his head and met the eyes of the visitor. At that moment, Lin Jian felt a biting chill.
"...Little Gu!" He shook the inexplicable chill to the back of his head and said in surprise, "Is that you, Xiao Gu? I'm Lin... Brother Lin!"
Gu Zhuozhuo was silent for three seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, "Lin Hao?"
Lin Jian's expression froze. Why did he forget that what he reported to Lin Xi was his pseudonym during this period.
"Human trafficking is against the law, spreading YHSQ is against the law, illegal imprisonment is even more against the law, if you have anything to say to the police, what do you want me to do?" Gu Zhuozhuo's voice was cold.
Lin Jian couldn't help beating drums in his heart, thinking that something went wrong, could it be that Gu Zhuozhuo really doesn't remember him?
But in any case, pleading guilty is impossible, so he temporarily put aside the idea of recognizing each other, and said aggrievedly: "I didn't! I just introduced Xiaoxi to meet Boss K to make some money. Xiaoxi was short of money, and he agreed to come. I didn't expect Boss K to be such a person..."
"You didn't know Mr. K before?" Gu Zhuozhuo was expressionless.
"of course."
"Then how did you become Mr. J?" Gu Zhuozhuo slowly spit out a name: "...Lin Jian?"
The atmosphere was suddenly silent, and the pressure increased sharply.
"I really don't know... what are you talking about."
Looking at the other party's pretendingly blank expression, Gu Zhuozhuo felt a sense of dislocation and nausea in his heart.
He took a step back, took a deep breath, and let the policeman push him down the stairs.
"Xiao Gu, don't you remember me?" Lin Jian was anxious, and shouted behind him: "I did change my name later, but I don't know why, I am your brother Lin! Did you not You came to see me, did you think I died in that fire? I waited for you for several days and you didn't come, Xiao Gu, Xiao Gu!"
Gu Zhuozhuo's heart was beating like a drum, and he tried to hold back his expression, but his mind was constantly thinking.
fire?What fire?Where did Lin Jian encounter the fire?
He had to go back to deal with this matter, so Gu Zhuozhuo quickened his pace and quickly entered the hall on the first floor. Several people heard his rapid breathing and looked at him in unison.
"I really didn't know what happened to Xiaoxi. That's not what Mr. K told me before...Xiaoxi, how are you doing? Why didn't you tell me about any difficulties?"
Lin Jian was suppressed by the police, but he still wanted to play an innocent person.
Gu Zhuozhuo's complexion was not good. If he hadn't experienced what happened in his previous life, he would be that idiot who was played in the palm of his hand.Lin Jian made this gesture now, making it clear that he hadn't exposed it in front of him ten years ago, so he showed his favor unscrupulously.
"Who is he?" Wen Yue stood up with a worried expression.
Lin Xi also stood up, showing embarrassment: "He is... Brother Lin..."
"Xiaoxi!" Lin Jian wanted to come over eagerly, and struggled: "Xiaoxi, you are worried about me. I just looked for you for a long time. Where did you go? These policemen misunderstood me, Xiaoxi, do you know?"
Lin Xi was stunned, she didn't expect him to react like this at all, and habitually doubted herself: "I...I..."
Lin Jian yelled at Gu Zhuozhuo again: "Xiao Gu! We used to do group performances together in Fantasy World Film and Television City, we ate and slept together, and you even bought gifts for your eldest brother, have you forgotten?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
The case that was originally thought to be simple suddenly became confusing-how could the suspect have something to do with one of the seemingly irrelevant informants! ?
Wen Yue stood up suddenly, with awe-inspiring momentum, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Gu Zhuozhuo.
"I do know you." Gu Zhuozhuo suppressed and turned around: "That's why when I watched the surveillance of the football bar that day, I always thought you looked familiar. The surveillance pixels were too low and the light was too dim, so I didn't recognize you, but now I see you and I I just remembered."
The police already knew the basic information of the case from Wen Yue, and they looked at Lin Jian even more sharply now.
"Mr. J, who is doing business with Assistant Lanli, how come you and Mr. K don't know each other?" Gu Zhuozhuo said.
There was a bang in Lin Jian's mind, and his face was blank before he had time to react.
There is indeed a problem.
Everyone was extremely disgusted for a moment, thinking of what he said, what he did to Lin Xi would not be an exaggeration.
"Where is Mr. K?" The policeman who went to search failed and returned without success, pressing Lin Jian and asking.
"I don't know, really! Wait, wait!" He wanted to explain, but was pushed into the car by the police.
His wishful thinking has come to nothing, and there will be a harsh interrogation waiting for him later. More than a dozen unkind eyes fell on him, making him feel like a light on his back.
Then the voice became smaller and smaller, and disappeared outside the door. The police escorted him out, and Lin Xi followed him to the police station.
After another half an hour, the fat manager was also escorted out.Surprisingly, all the monitoring in this clubhouse has failed, and there are signal shielding devices, and most of the guests in the box are very calm, have prominent identities, and at the same time, they are far from the characteristics of Mr. K.
The police said they would continue to search, but Gu Zhuozhuo knew that this Mr. K would not be caught for the time being.
He felt very tired and his thoughts were messed up, leaning on the sofa thinking about things.The hall gradually fell silent, and when he recovered, there were not many people left. Wen Yue sat beside him, looking at his phone.
"They left?" Gu Zhuozhuo's voice was slightly hoarse, he coughed, sat up and took a sip of water.
"Well," Wen Yue put away his phone: "Is it better? Let's go back."
Gu Zhuozhuo has been waiting for him to ask questions, such as how did you know him, why you didn't tell him when you watched the surveillance last time, and other facts full of loopholes.He didn't hide his emotions well just now, he simply told others that I have a problem with my attitude.
It doesn't matter if outsiders don't understand, who is Wen Yue, he must have doubts in his heart.
But he didn't say anything.
The hall was quiet, no one came in or out at all.There are still hundreds of guests in this club, but such a big thing happened, no one came out to take a look.
This atmosphere is depressing, Gu Zhuozhuo's back is sweating, and he feels that the air is so sticky that he can't stand it.
"Let's go back." Wen Yue noticed that he was in a bad mood, and repeated it, pulling him up: "Let's go back and talk about anything."
***
Gu Zhuozhuo fell asleep in the car, after Wen Yue thought about it, he sent him directly back to the crew, so that Gu Zhuozhuo could sleep a little longer tomorrow and didn't have to get up early to come over.
It was already three o'clock in the morning when the car drove to Fantasy World Film and Television City.
Wen Yue picked up Gu Zhuozhao's armpit and carried him out of the car door, a snowflake fell quietly.
Snowing.
The streets of the ancient city are paved with stone slabs, and the street lamps in the shape of lanterns beside them reflect the light on the road surface. Around the halo, snowflakes are gradually flying densely.
The driver held an umbrella for them at the right time, but Gu Zhuozhuo had already woken up.After standing still, he rubbed his face, and Wen Yue took the driver's umbrella.
"Going back to the set?" Gu Zhuozhuo still didn't wake up, and continued confusedly: "Is it still snowing?"
Wen Yue trimmed his hair, hummed, and led the people to a hotel where cars couldn't enter.
Gu Zhuozhuo was half a step behind, forming a world of his own under the umbrella.He stared blankly at the back of Wen Yue's neck, walking in a daze.
The road was dark and there was no end in sight, he suddenly panicked and grabbed Wen Yue's hand.Wen Yue didn't look back, nor broke away, just squeezed.
This response was like a small trigger, pulled, and with a bang, it exploded in his mind.Like the fireworks of the changing of the century, it is so gorgeous that it makes people lack of oxygen.
At this moment, Gu Zhuozhuo suddenly felt great peace of mind and happiness, all the nightmares faded away like a tide, he got a response, he is not walking alone on the dark road.
He felt that he would like Wen Yue for a long time, not just his own fantasy, but the real Wen Yue.He will always love it.
"What's the matter?" Wen Yue turned around, saw Gu Zhuozhuo's shortness of breath, and stretched out his hand to his forehead.
"I had a dream before." Gu Zhuozhuo said with a smile, "I dreamed that you were dead...don't hit me."
Wen Yue's eyes moved, and he didn't bother with him about the words, whether it was an offense or a curse, and asked patiently: "And then?"
"Then I was like a fool, and I was played around. I was sold and had to count the money." Gu Zhuozhuo lowered his head and said: "You heard it too, I knew that Lin Jian ten years ago. It was me who left home When leaving."
"I'm stupider than Linxi. Linxi can still get 5 yuan from him anyway, and I ran away with him after drinking a few cups of milk tea from him."
Gu Zhuozuo saw Wen Yue's Adam's apple sliding up and down.
"Fortunately, you took me back later. If it weren't for you, I would have been sold. He was a bad guy in the dream, and I was deceived miserably by him at that time."
Gu Zhuozhuo paused, took his hand, and pleaded in his eyes: "I used to be bad, ignorant, and self-willed. But I won't now, okay?"
"I've had that nightmare several times. After you died, your uncles and aunts were also very sad, and your cousin is incompetent. I'm busy every day, taking care of Mrs. Gu and Jiang Tian. I can't find anyone to talk to. Go to The sea court is also empty. I want to celebrate your birthday, but no one will eat a cake for you. I really want to die..."
"Stop talking." Wen Yue looked at him unkindly.
"Oh." Gu Zhuozhuo closed his mouth.
After walking for a short distance, Gu Zhuozhuo could already see the lights at the entrance of the hotel. Gu Zhuozhuo couldn't help but said, "It's true, I was woken up several times by fright, so don't die, or I really... I really... ……”
Gu Zhuozhao finally lost control, bit his lower lip and was speechless.
He held it in his heart for too long, and wanted to express his grievance countless times, but no one answered.But now he thinks it's okay, the heavy guilt that once weighed down on him has finally loosened a crack, allowing him to take a breath and allow himself to complain.
Just for a moment, he wants a comfort too much now, he promises not to say anything until tomorrow, just for a while.
"Gu Zhuozhao." Wen Yue pulled him under the lamp, pressed the corners of his red eyes with one hand, expressionless, but said in a helpless tone: "This is just your dream. I won't die, and I can eat cakes, The company doesn't even need you to take care of it. If you don't worry, I'll ask a coach to exercise tomorrow, is that okay?"
"!" Gu Zhuozhuo's attention was quickly diverted: "Really? There won't be another tomorrow..."
"No." Wen Yue closed his eyes and patted him on the shoulder: "Get some rest, you have to work tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Gu Zhuozhuo was incoherent, and he wanted to pull him in again: "It's too late for you to go back now, why don't you sleep with me and go back tomorrow?"
"I'm going to Ningcheng for a business trip tomorrow." Wen Yue said.
Gu Zhuozhao's disappointment was visible to the naked eye. If he had ears, they seemed to droop.
However, Wen Yue said in the next sentence: "I asked the driver to come here to pick me up."
"!"
"Don't think too much." Wen Yue pinched his earlobe, which made him feel a little itchy: "I will follow up on Lin Jian's matter, and let you know if there is any progress. Alright, go to sleep."
Wen Yue casually inserted the black umbrella into the umbrella stand at the door.The snowflakes on the umbrella surface melted into water and dripped down the umbrella ribs, leaving a pool of water on the ground reflecting the warm light.
Before going upstairs, Gu Zhuozhuo looked back and felt that his heart was wet and full of guilt.
***
"Brother Gu! Look who's here!"
With a pack of documents under his arm, Xiao Tang ran into the dressing room from outside on high heels.
Gu Zhuozhuo was eating an orange, and asked her with puffy cheeks: "?"
"Senior Gu!" Lin Xi was out of breath after chasing Xiao Tang, and her heart was full of fear, thinking about the ranks of the people around Senior Gu, running so fast, what kind of peerless martial arts master is this! ?
He leaned on the door frame to breathe, and after a while Peng Yingjie jumped in, shouting in surprise: "Wow Linxi! Are you here to see me!" After speaking, he hugged Linxi and shook him.
The studio next door was changing tracks, and the weather was too cold, so all the actors gathered in this big dressing room to warm up, watching Gu Zhuozhuo as if they were performing a comedy.
"Huh, the grass-roots team." An actress couldn't see her eyes, and said sarcastic remarks in the corner, her voice was melodious and melodious, as if she was reciting a line from Gongdou: "I've never heard of the bell or a pheasant company. There are people, they are born lacking." A little self-knowledge, making this backstage look like his house... It’s ridiculous. Don’t you think so?”
Speaking of which, this is an actor contracted by Guangyao, named Wu Jingxuan, who has been in the industry for twenty years, and will turn forty as soon as her birthday is over.
Her role is a bit more than Ruan Mei's, but the attention is not very high, playing the queen mother.
There are only three Guangyao actors in the drama produced by Guangyao, Wu Jingxuan is really helpless.She has been dissatisfied with the company's attitude for a long time, but the good company doesn't want her, and she dislikes the one who wants her, so she can only stay there aggrieved, feeling deeply buried.
But in any case, the actors in the same company should have a good relationship, so after she finished her sarcastic remarks, she naturally longed for her colleagues to agree.So she looked to the left - Ruan Mei.Look to the right again - Miao Hang.
Ruan's eyebrows flinched, and she lowered her head and knit a bracelet to pretend she couldn't hear.
Miao Hang was playing with his mobile phone, and pretended not to hear him while concentrating on it.
Wu Jingxuan: "..."
Wu Jingxuan was so angry that she rolled her eyes until her eyes hurt. She thought to herself that her company was something that didn't seek to make progress. No wonder the more it developed, the more dilapidated it became!
Gu Zhuozhao had no idea that someone was going to kill him with anger, so he took Lin Xi and the others to sit under a huge ginkgo tree, sitting by the flower bed, the surroundings were quiet, and no one passed by.
"Tell me, is there any progress?"
"Yes." Lin Xi pursed her lips and glanced at Peng Yingjie, as if asking if he could listen?
Peng Yingjie was dissatisfied: "What!? The seniors told me, well, you are still not a brother!"
"...Oh." Lin Xi turned her gaze back, took out a document from her pocket and handed it to Gu Zhuozhuo, and said seriously, "Brother Wen gave this to me this morning."
Gu Zhuozhuo took it and flipped through it.
"Lin...Lin Jian, at first he didn't admit that he was Mr. J. The police called in the assistant of Teacher Lan Li, yes...the assistant is still in detention, I don't know why I haven't left...Identified him, plus that day Obscure monitoring in the bar confirmed that he is Mr. J. A task force has been established now."
Lin Xi said obediently: "But it is very difficult to check the Julang Club. The manager is just an agent, and the registered owner is a woman. She married a foreigner three years ago. Now she can't be contacted. The books are clean, there is no problem with the inflow and outflow of funds, and it looks...very innocent."
Gu Zhuozhuo flipped through the documents in his hand, there were such things as Julang's business license.
"Mr. K's whereabouts are unknown. An arrest warrant has been issued based on the portrait. Lin Jian is still under interrogation. Others... are still under investigation. Brother Wen told you not to worry."
Gu Zhuozhuo lowered his eyes and sighed: "I'm fine, but you, how are you feeling these days?"
Lin Xi smiled shyly, but there was still haze in her eyes: "I'm much better, and I'm helping the company these days."
"Next time I have trouble, I need to talk about it," Peng Yingjie was still dissatisfied when he thought about it: "I was almost scared to death. This is your luck. What will you do next time if something happens? Anyway, people live a lifetime, either I will help you or you will help me." , there will always be times when you encounter difficulties. Maybe in the future you will become popular, and I will hug your thigh hahahaha—”
Lin Xi was in a complicated mood, imitating Peng Yingjie and laughed a few times, but then retracted it feeling too silly.
He still needs time to digest this experience, but no matter what, the matter has passed, and when he thinks back late at night, he still laments his luck.
The company rented him a small new apartment not far from the bell.This time he accepted the offer openly.
When going back to Lin Jian's rental house to pack his things, Lin Xi took down the wind chime that Peng Yingjie had given him from the window, and cried hard at it.
He didn't know people clearly and failed his friends. Fortunately, it's not too late to change his ways.
This time, he no longer had that urgent feeling of wanting to make money and return favors.Senior Gu is right, many things cannot be rushed, he is still young, the most important thing is to act steadily.
Gu Zhuozhuo finished looking through the materials, put them away, asked Peng Yingjie to take Lin Xi to play, and sat under the tree for a while.
The ginkgo branches were bleak and could not block the warm winter sun. He squinted his eyes and basked in the sun, lamenting Wen Yue's extraordinary intelligence.
In this stack of materials, there are not only various information about Julang Club, Lin Jian's past resume, but also a glorious last year's financial report, and the personal information of the head of the house, Qin Cunzhi.
Gu Zhuozhao carefully recalled that he never told Wen Yue that he doubted Tan Cunzhi.
How did Wen Yue guess it?
Either from the flaws he didn't cover up, or because Lan Li had been with Tan Cunzhi and paid special attention to him, or he had other channels to get some news.
Either way, this document revealed Wen Yue's willingness to discuss with him.
Gu Zhuozhuo thought, if I pretended not to understand, Wen Yue would not mention it again.If I have discussed it with him, all this can no longer be explained by dreams.
——Wen Yue gave me a chance to choose.He started talking to me on an equal footing.
Gu Zhuozhuo closed his eyes and couldn't help but fell back.The slightly curly wig brushed against the side of the face, a little itchy.After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at the ginkgo branches and the unscrupulous warm sun in the gaps, with a smile on his face.
There was nothing to hesitate about this choice, but the meaning behind it made him very happy.
One more thing is also very happy.
After he came back that day, he took the time to check the "fire" that Lin Jian mentioned, and got an important piece of information - ten years ago in this world, on the night of January [-]th, at the pier that Lin Jian had made an appointment with him, a fire broke out. There was a fire.
He checked the news at the time, and the cause of the accident was a fire on a ship docked illegally on the shore.
He had a lot of guesses before, why the accident didn't happen in this parallel world.He was afraid of exposing himself and did not dare to ask others for proof, but he ignored the possibility of this "accident".
Now he is clear, because of the fire that night, he did not meet Lin Jian, so the self in this world naturally does not know his true face.Of course, he indirectly saved his and Wen Yue's lives.
Now he felt at ease, knowing that node, he seemed to be relieved of many things.A fire, as if God gave him a chance.
His smiling eyes were curved, and he couldn't help rolling and turned sideways.
There was a pair of green eyes.
"!" Gu Zhuozhuo was so frightened that his whole body went numb, he sat up suddenly, panting.
a cat!
He scolded angrily: "Why don't you make a sound!?... What are you looking at me for!?"
The fat three-colored cat sat down in disdain, meowed, and raised its paw to lick it with relish.
Suddenly there was a puffing sound from the corner, little Tang Linxi and the others rolled out of the corner laughing: "Hahahaha..."
Gu Zhuozhao: "..."
Xiao Tang held up the phone, pressed the stop button, surrendered and said, "Look, Brother Gu, I didn't mean it, it's really too funny..."
Gu Zhuozhuo's scalp was numb, and he took Xiao Tang's cell phone: "When were you there...this cat..."
He was speechless.
The video is only about a minute and a half long, so they obviously didn't take it long.
When Gu Zhuozhuo arrived, the police had already entered the top floor of the building, leaned out from the window, and took long sticks to send up the coat to keep out the cold.The building is four stories high. Lin Xi lay on the edge and stretched her arms, looking terrified.
"Linxi!" Gu Zhuozhuo shouted, the boy who got the clothes looked down in surprise, waved his hands overjoyed, and was speechless.
When Gu Zhuozhuo saw that he was doing well, he was half relieved. A female policeman came over to stop him: "The police are handling the case..."
"I'm the reporter." Gu Zhuozhuo said in a deep voice, striding towards the door: "How are you doing now?"
"Oh, oh!" The policewoman didn't know much about it. She only heard that one party in the dispute had a big background. She followed Gu Zhuozhao calmly and explained, "We are from the North District Police Station. We came quickly. The Municipal Bureau attaches great importance to it." , also sent people, still on the way... The roof is protruding, we judged that the trapped person was not in good health, so we didn't let him climb the window. The fire alarm will arrive within 5 minutes, and a ladder will be used to take him down..."
She paused, then watched Gu Zhuozhuo walk towards the manager blocking the door, and hurriedly said: "The manager is not very cooperative, but we have colleagues who have already gone in."
"How is this possible! We open our doors to do business, and the licenses are all complete. If you don't believe me, why don't you check it out? The fire department is coming? Our fire department has just been rectified. It is audited once a year, and it is a certificate issued by a professional organization!" The fat manager spit all over the place, and two other doormen stood on the left and right, echoing from time to time.
The faces of the three policemen were ugly, and they were short-staffed. One of them said, "Since you have a clear conscience, you should treat it as our routine inspection."
"Inspection!" The manager waved his hand: "I have nothing to say! Just inspect it! But didn't you all go in... What did you find out? Our home is a high-end club, and many directors and directors come to discuss things. If you delay the business, you will compensate Is it disrupting my business, I want to report it!"
"Report, right? I'll report that all of you will gather together to xi|du." Gu Zhuozhuo interrupted him, and signaled to the three policemen: "Go in, talk nonsense with him, leave two people to block the back door, don't even think about leaving today .”
"Hey!?" When the pot of dirty water was poured down, the manager was anxious: "Okay, what are you talking about? You can't just slander me!"
"That's what I said. If I can't find out, I will compensate you. Why are you guilty?" Just as Gu Zhuozhuo finished speaking, the sound of police sirens came from afar.
This time there was quite a battle, and as soon as the firefighters arrived, they began to set up ladders and lay out anti-fall mats. Gu Zhuozhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it.
Seeing this, the manager was sweating profusely, knowing that he couldn't stop it, so he had to back away unwillingly, and let the policemen rush in the door.
"Mr. Gu." A capable plainclothes man came over: "We have figured out the matter, and several exits have been surrounded."
Gu Zhuozhuo walked towards the ladder, "We must catch the person, and check in every box, no matter what your identity is, you don't have to worry."
The plainclothes said: "Yes." Then he led people into the club.
Gu Zhuozhuo raised his head, and there were voices of people shouting and moving equipment everywhere.He saw Lin Xi come down a little bit surrounded by the crowd, looking at him uneasily from time to time.
Five minutes later, Lin Xi, who had been in a state of shock all night, finally stepped on the ground trembling, her legs softened and she almost knelt down, but Gu Zhuozhuo reached out to catch her.
"Senior Gu..." Lin Xi couldn't bear it anymore, and threw herself into Gu Zhuozhuo's arms like a little chicken.
Hearing the restrained crying in his arms, Gu Zhuozhuo felt pity in his heart and touched his head to comfort him.
"Go ahead, don't stand outside and blow the air." After he finished speaking, he took Linxi and everyone moved indoors.The fat manager was outnumbered and did not dare to confront them, so he welcomed them into the lobby in despair.
At this moment, Lin Xi had recovered a little. Although her eyes were swollen and her voice was hoarse, she still said firmly, "They are on the second floor B076. If I remember correctly...not too far from the toilet."
***
Asking Lin Xi to explain the matter to the police, Gu Zhuozhuo got up first to find Wen Yue.
Now he belatedly recalled what he did just now, his face was hot, and the closer he got to the phantom, the more disturbed he felt.
But Wen Yue was actually sitting in the car without moving.
"Okay?" Wen Yue rolled down the car window, his eyes were cold: "Can I go?"
Gu Zhuozhao couldn't tell whether it was teasing, ridiculing, or anger...
"It's okay, it's okay." He could only giggle twice, and opened the door for Wen Yue.
They were speechless all the way, and as soon as the two entered the lobby, they heard Lin Xi's hoarse voice.
"...I work in a coffee shop. After meeting three times, he started to buy me coffee. He was the only one who ordered two cups of coffee, one for himself and one for me. I think he is very nice, but also I'm very sorry... Then he invited me to dinner, and I couldn't go anymore."
Seeing Gu Zhuozhao and the others coming, Lin Xi nodded and continued.
"He was very kind to me. At that time, I just missed the entrance to Haixi Opera. I was very sad. Once I walked on the bridge after work, holding the railing to watch the river... He happened to pass by. Maybe he thought I couldn't think about it. He pulled me away anxiously and scolded me. That was the time when he said he would lend me money and send me to Zhongsheng’s training class.”
If it weren't for the stinky insider revealed at the end, just listening to Lin Xi's experience, it would be like the development in an idol drama.
The poor boy had a dream, but was persecuted by the bad guys. When he was disheartened, a gentle elder brother saved him from the fire and water.Lin Xi’s big brother Lin is a very hard-working person. He claims that he wants to become an excellent director and travels around all day. Because of the lack of opportunities, he has to work everywhere to make a living and save his future filmmaking capital.
Gu Zhuozhuo felt that it was quite true. There are indeed many low-level directors who are struggling to survive because of their ideals.
It is such "Brother Lin", in order to help Lin Xi, he took out his [-] savings to support him in pursuing his dream.Therefore, Lin Xi believed in him deeply and was determined.
until today.
"What is his name Lin?" Gu Zhuozhuo suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Ah, it's Lin Hao." Lin Xi replied.
Lin Hao.
Gu Zhuozhuo frowned more and more, and a ridiculous thought kept circling.
At this time, his clenched fist was suddenly wrapped, and he suddenly lowered his head, it was Wen Yue's hand.
"Don't be nervous." Wen Yue whispered.
Only then did Gu Zhuozhuo realize that his nails had left red marks on his palms, which would break with a little more force.
"... I went into the private room, there was a middle-aged man, his appearance... I don't remember exactly, but he was quite old, forty? Fifty? I don't know... He has deep nasolabial folds on his face ..."
Lin Xi recalled that because she was too nervous just now and was asked to bow her head by Brother Lin, her memory was a little fuzzy.
"...Brother Lin asked me to call him Mr. K..."
"!!!" Gu Zhuozhao and Wen Yue opened their eyes wide at the same time.
Noticing the movement here, the plainclothes police turned to them and asked them, "What's the meaning of this code name? What do you know?"
Mr K? Mr. J!
The organization with the code name, that mysterious black website, must have something to do with Lin Jian!
Gu Zhuozhuo broke away from Wen Yue's hand, his body was tense, and he called the two policemen to run upstairs: "I'll go and have a look!"
Wen Yue didn't follow, but started talking with the plainclothes.
***
The second floor.
The sound of the police sirens was continuous, and the red and blue lights were reflected on the outer wall of the clubhouse.
Lin Jian anxiously observed the situation outside in the corner private room, and was so angry that his seven orifices smoked.
How dare this little thing! ?
Mr. K got up slowly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Lin Jian, you brought the little things before they are fully raised... You will also make such a low-level mistake?"
Lin Jian was so angry that he took a few deep breaths before he calmed down. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's familiar, it must be familiar. Today is an accident!"
Mr. K sneered: "Accident... You have had a lot of accidents recently..."
"..." Lin Jian stopped answering the conversation, and looked out the window, his eyes tearing open.
Linxi was the goal he had spent half a year raising.
At first, Lin Xi was chosen to work in a coffee shop because of her shy and pretty appearance and her status as a minor.
There is a generally accepted experience in the organization - underage children are the best cheaters.
They often lack understanding of society, naively believe that good things that happen to them are inevitable, and have more courage to pursue their dreams than adults.
Anything, once coated with the icing of dreams, will make the teenagers rush to it desperately.
Lin Jian picked him, talked to him, and asked him after a few trials, did he ever think about entering the showbiz because he is so beautiful?
When asked this question, Lindsay was standing in the sun in her cafe uniform, holding a tray.At that time, his eyes lit up instantly, making Lin Jian think of a person he hadn't seen for a long time.
Ten years ago, Young Master Gu was only Lin Xi's age, and he was more innocent and deceitful than him.
Lin Jian was also a novice at that time, but he didn't use any skills to deceive Gu Zhuozhuo. Basically, he bought him two cups of milk tea, and it made people follow him all day long and call him big brother.
If it wasn't for the fire at the pier, and he accidentally learned of Gu Zhuozhuo's background and stopped in time, he might have died [-] times.
After that, Lin Jian did countless tasks, but Gu Zhuozhao's failed case still made him brood.
Now he looked at Lin Xi, who was just as young, and his heart became more and more distorted.
He decided to make the line a little longer.
But accidents followed one after another. First, he saw Gu Zhuozhao on TV, then he sent Lin Xi to the bell, and then a deal was discovered, and the organization spent a lot of resources to help him deal with the aftermath.
This caused dissatisfaction among several people including Mr. K.
Lin Jian's report was also ignored. Almost no one believed that this "Master Gu" who suddenly entered the entertainment industry would stay in the industry for a long time and have any impact on their work.
Only Lin Jian was anxious.
He heard all kinds of things about "Senior Gu" from Lin Xi's mouth, and the more he heard, the more frightened he became, knowing that this would not work.The better the relationship between Lin Xi and that person, the easier it is to escape from his control. He made a decision to break one of Lin Xi's wings first.
As long as he has a handle in his hands, Lin Xi must listen to himself. In this way, he has planted a pawn beside Young Master Gu.
Never expected that it was just a momentary negligence of overconfidence, which allowed this little thing to take advantage of the loophole!
What he didn't expect was that Lin Xi actually recruited Young Master Gu!
Mr. K's decree lines are more profound, and his eyelids are drooping: "A low-level guy with no power and no power, calling the police can cause such a big battle...Twenty police cars, the city bureau equipped|guns are dispatched..."
"...Is it my fault?" Lin Jian circled around in front of the window, breathing heavily: "How could I have thought of it? Did you think of it again!?"
The two looked at each other in the dark room, and Mr. K was silent for a moment: "That's the young master of the Gu family, how could he come here in the middle of the night for a child?"
Lin Jian became angry, and his simple and honest face became ferocious.
After a while he said tiredly: "But he's already here. I said earlier that Young Master Gu has a pure personality and is easy to deceive. It's not surprising that he is willing to run around for a junior in the company. Lin Xi has said countless times to Senior Gu in front of me. How nice it is to them, it is because you feel that you don’t need to pay attention to it, which caused the current situation.”
Mr. K took a sip of his tea and said: "Don't get angry, J, we'll talk about that later. Now, you deal with him."
Lin Jian closed his eyes, feeling dissatisfied, but didn't say anything more.
He watched Mr. K change into a cleaner's clothes, put on a fake beard, and pushed the door out, while he looked at the siren outside the door.
It doesn't matter, Lin Jian thought to himself, he still has a trump card - the friendship from ten years ago.
He is [-]% sure that Gu Zhuozhuo still recognizes him.
After all, they ate and lived together ten years ago, and he almost cheated the young master.If he hadn't suddenly learned of Young Master Gu's identity, Lin Jian would never let this beautiful butterfly go easily.
At that time, Gu Shaoqing was young and cute, flying around him every day, he believed everything he said, and the adoration in his eyes was not fake.
Lin Jian recalled the past, walked slowly back to the previous box B076, sat down, and poured himself a few glasses of wine.
Gu Shao believed in himself, he must be very happy to reunite after a long absence.At this time, if he acts out and recalls the past, Young Master Gu will definitely be inclined to believe him.At this time, it is appropriate to sell miserably, and Young Master Gu will even feel guilty.
So, it was a blessing in disguise.
After all, Lin Xi is just a rookie actor, Gu Shao must be the master behind Zhong Sheng's company.If you have a good relationship with the authority center, your status in the organization will definitely improve in the future.
As for Lin Xi, once she is calmed down, Lin Xi will know how big a fuss he made to call the police, and her sense of guilt will be even stronger.
In this way, as long as he adds some guidance in his words, he can create a situation where "it's nothing but Lin Xi thinking too much".
Lin Jian straightened his mind and felt relieved, when there were chaotic footsteps at the door.
people come.
He collected himself, stood up, and made a flustered expression.After three seconds of silence, the door was kicked open!
"Don't move!" shouted the policeman, "Stand against the wall! Is there another person? -- Search again!"
Lin Jian gritted his teeth and followed suit, looking around the crowd in a casual manner.Gu Zhuozhao is not here?Lindsey isn't there either!
He didn't say a word, he waited for the police to search the inside and outside of the box, thinking about what to say in order to see Gu Shao...
At this time, another group of people came outside the door.
He raised his head and met the eyes of the visitor. At that moment, Lin Jian felt a biting chill.
"...Little Gu!" He shook the inexplicable chill to the back of his head and said in surprise, "Is that you, Xiao Gu? I'm Lin... Brother Lin!"
Gu Zhuozhuo was silent for three seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, "Lin Hao?"
Lin Jian's expression froze. Why did he forget that what he reported to Lin Xi was his pseudonym during this period.
"Human trafficking is against the law, spreading YHSQ is against the law, illegal imprisonment is even more against the law, if you have anything to say to the police, what do you want me to do?" Gu Zhuozhuo's voice was cold.
Lin Jian couldn't help beating drums in his heart, thinking that something went wrong, could it be that Gu Zhuozhuo really doesn't remember him?
But in any case, pleading guilty is impossible, so he temporarily put aside the idea of recognizing each other, and said aggrievedly: "I didn't! I just introduced Xiaoxi to meet Boss K to make some money. Xiaoxi was short of money, and he agreed to come. I didn't expect Boss K to be such a person..."
"You didn't know Mr. K before?" Gu Zhuozhuo was expressionless.
"of course."
"Then how did you become Mr. J?" Gu Zhuozhuo slowly spit out a name: "...Lin Jian?"
The atmosphere was suddenly silent, and the pressure increased sharply.
"I really don't know... what are you talking about."
Looking at the other party's pretendingly blank expression, Gu Zhuozhuo felt a sense of dislocation and nausea in his heart.
He took a step back, took a deep breath, and let the policeman push him down the stairs.
"Xiao Gu, don't you remember me?" Lin Jian was anxious, and shouted behind him: "I did change my name later, but I don't know why, I am your brother Lin! Did you not You came to see me, did you think I died in that fire? I waited for you for several days and you didn't come, Xiao Gu, Xiao Gu!"
Gu Zhuozhuo's heart was beating like a drum, and he tried to hold back his expression, but his mind was constantly thinking.
fire?What fire?Where did Lin Jian encounter the fire?
He had to go back to deal with this matter, so Gu Zhuozhuo quickened his pace and quickly entered the hall on the first floor. Several people heard his rapid breathing and looked at him in unison.
"I really didn't know what happened to Xiaoxi. That's not what Mr. K told me before...Xiaoxi, how are you doing? Why didn't you tell me about any difficulties?"
Lin Jian was suppressed by the police, but he still wanted to play an innocent person.
Gu Zhuozhuo's complexion was not good. If he hadn't experienced what happened in his previous life, he would be that idiot who was played in the palm of his hand.Lin Jian made this gesture now, making it clear that he hadn't exposed it in front of him ten years ago, so he showed his favor unscrupulously.
"Who is he?" Wen Yue stood up with a worried expression.
Lin Xi also stood up, showing embarrassment: "He is... Brother Lin..."
"Xiaoxi!" Lin Jian wanted to come over eagerly, and struggled: "Xiaoxi, you are worried about me. I just looked for you for a long time. Where did you go? These policemen misunderstood me, Xiaoxi, do you know?"
Lin Xi was stunned, she didn't expect him to react like this at all, and habitually doubted herself: "I...I..."
Lin Jian yelled at Gu Zhuozhuo again: "Xiao Gu! We used to do group performances together in Fantasy World Film and Television City, we ate and slept together, and you even bought gifts for your eldest brother, have you forgotten?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
The case that was originally thought to be simple suddenly became confusing-how could the suspect have something to do with one of the seemingly irrelevant informants! ?
Wen Yue stood up suddenly, with awe-inspiring momentum, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Gu Zhuozhuo.
"I do know you." Gu Zhuozhuo suppressed and turned around: "That's why when I watched the surveillance of the football bar that day, I always thought you looked familiar. The surveillance pixels were too low and the light was too dim, so I didn't recognize you, but now I see you and I I just remembered."
The police already knew the basic information of the case from Wen Yue, and they looked at Lin Jian even more sharply now.
"Mr. J, who is doing business with Assistant Lanli, how come you and Mr. K don't know each other?" Gu Zhuozhuo said.
There was a bang in Lin Jian's mind, and his face was blank before he had time to react.
There is indeed a problem.
Everyone was extremely disgusted for a moment, thinking of what he said, what he did to Lin Xi would not be an exaggeration.
"Where is Mr. K?" The policeman who went to search failed and returned without success, pressing Lin Jian and asking.
"I don't know, really! Wait, wait!" He wanted to explain, but was pushed into the car by the police.
His wishful thinking has come to nothing, and there will be a harsh interrogation waiting for him later. More than a dozen unkind eyes fell on him, making him feel like a light on his back.
Then the voice became smaller and smaller, and disappeared outside the door. The police escorted him out, and Lin Xi followed him to the police station.
After another half an hour, the fat manager was also escorted out.Surprisingly, all the monitoring in this clubhouse has failed, and there are signal shielding devices, and most of the guests in the box are very calm, have prominent identities, and at the same time, they are far from the characteristics of Mr. K.
The police said they would continue to search, but Gu Zhuozhuo knew that this Mr. K would not be caught for the time being.
He felt very tired and his thoughts were messed up, leaning on the sofa thinking about things.The hall gradually fell silent, and when he recovered, there were not many people left. Wen Yue sat beside him, looking at his phone.
"They left?" Gu Zhuozhuo's voice was slightly hoarse, he coughed, sat up and took a sip of water.
"Well," Wen Yue put away his phone: "Is it better? Let's go back."
Gu Zhuozhuo has been waiting for him to ask questions, such as how did you know him, why you didn't tell him when you watched the surveillance last time, and other facts full of loopholes.He didn't hide his emotions well just now, he simply told others that I have a problem with my attitude.
It doesn't matter if outsiders don't understand, who is Wen Yue, he must have doubts in his heart.
But he didn't say anything.
The hall was quiet, no one came in or out at all.There are still hundreds of guests in this club, but such a big thing happened, no one came out to take a look.
This atmosphere is depressing, Gu Zhuozhuo's back is sweating, and he feels that the air is so sticky that he can't stand it.
"Let's go back." Wen Yue noticed that he was in a bad mood, and repeated it, pulling him up: "Let's go back and talk about anything."
***
Gu Zhuozhuo fell asleep in the car, after Wen Yue thought about it, he sent him directly back to the crew, so that Gu Zhuozhuo could sleep a little longer tomorrow and didn't have to get up early to come over.
It was already three o'clock in the morning when the car drove to Fantasy World Film and Television City.
Wen Yue picked up Gu Zhuozhao's armpit and carried him out of the car door, a snowflake fell quietly.
Snowing.
The streets of the ancient city are paved with stone slabs, and the street lamps in the shape of lanterns beside them reflect the light on the road surface. Around the halo, snowflakes are gradually flying densely.
The driver held an umbrella for them at the right time, but Gu Zhuozhuo had already woken up.After standing still, he rubbed his face, and Wen Yue took the driver's umbrella.
"Going back to the set?" Gu Zhuozhuo still didn't wake up, and continued confusedly: "Is it still snowing?"
Wen Yue trimmed his hair, hummed, and led the people to a hotel where cars couldn't enter.
Gu Zhuozhuo was half a step behind, forming a world of his own under the umbrella.He stared blankly at the back of Wen Yue's neck, walking in a daze.
The road was dark and there was no end in sight, he suddenly panicked and grabbed Wen Yue's hand.Wen Yue didn't look back, nor broke away, just squeezed.
This response was like a small trigger, pulled, and with a bang, it exploded in his mind.Like the fireworks of the changing of the century, it is so gorgeous that it makes people lack of oxygen.
At this moment, Gu Zhuozhuo suddenly felt great peace of mind and happiness, all the nightmares faded away like a tide, he got a response, he is not walking alone on the dark road.
He felt that he would like Wen Yue for a long time, not just his own fantasy, but the real Wen Yue.He will always love it.
"What's the matter?" Wen Yue turned around, saw Gu Zhuozhuo's shortness of breath, and stretched out his hand to his forehead.
"I had a dream before." Gu Zhuozhuo said with a smile, "I dreamed that you were dead...don't hit me."
Wen Yue's eyes moved, and he didn't bother with him about the words, whether it was an offense or a curse, and asked patiently: "And then?"
"Then I was like a fool, and I was played around. I was sold and had to count the money." Gu Zhuozhuo lowered his head and said: "You heard it too, I knew that Lin Jian ten years ago. It was me who left home When leaving."
"I'm stupider than Linxi. Linxi can still get 5 yuan from him anyway, and I ran away with him after drinking a few cups of milk tea from him."
Gu Zhuozuo saw Wen Yue's Adam's apple sliding up and down.
"Fortunately, you took me back later. If it weren't for you, I would have been sold. He was a bad guy in the dream, and I was deceived miserably by him at that time."
Gu Zhuozhuo paused, took his hand, and pleaded in his eyes: "I used to be bad, ignorant, and self-willed. But I won't now, okay?"
"I've had that nightmare several times. After you died, your uncles and aunts were also very sad, and your cousin is incompetent. I'm busy every day, taking care of Mrs. Gu and Jiang Tian. I can't find anyone to talk to. Go to The sea court is also empty. I want to celebrate your birthday, but no one will eat a cake for you. I really want to die..."
"Stop talking." Wen Yue looked at him unkindly.
"Oh." Gu Zhuozhuo closed his mouth.
After walking for a short distance, Gu Zhuozhuo could already see the lights at the entrance of the hotel. Gu Zhuozhuo couldn't help but said, "It's true, I was woken up several times by fright, so don't die, or I really... I really... ……”
Gu Zhuozhao finally lost control, bit his lower lip and was speechless.
He held it in his heart for too long, and wanted to express his grievance countless times, but no one answered.But now he thinks it's okay, the heavy guilt that once weighed down on him has finally loosened a crack, allowing him to take a breath and allow himself to complain.
Just for a moment, he wants a comfort too much now, he promises not to say anything until tomorrow, just for a while.
"Gu Zhuozhao." Wen Yue pulled him under the lamp, pressed the corners of his red eyes with one hand, expressionless, but said in a helpless tone: "This is just your dream. I won't die, and I can eat cakes, The company doesn't even need you to take care of it. If you don't worry, I'll ask a coach to exercise tomorrow, is that okay?"
"!" Gu Zhuozhuo's attention was quickly diverted: "Really? There won't be another tomorrow..."
"No." Wen Yue closed his eyes and patted him on the shoulder: "Get some rest, you have to work tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Gu Zhuozhuo was incoherent, and he wanted to pull him in again: "It's too late for you to go back now, why don't you sleep with me and go back tomorrow?"
"I'm going to Ningcheng for a business trip tomorrow." Wen Yue said.
Gu Zhuozhao's disappointment was visible to the naked eye. If he had ears, they seemed to droop.
However, Wen Yue said in the next sentence: "I asked the driver to come here to pick me up."
"!"
"Don't think too much." Wen Yue pinched his earlobe, which made him feel a little itchy: "I will follow up on Lin Jian's matter, and let you know if there is any progress. Alright, go to sleep."
Wen Yue casually inserted the black umbrella into the umbrella stand at the door.The snowflakes on the umbrella surface melted into water and dripped down the umbrella ribs, leaving a pool of water on the ground reflecting the warm light.
Before going upstairs, Gu Zhuozhuo looked back and felt that his heart was wet and full of guilt.
***
"Brother Gu! Look who's here!"
With a pack of documents under his arm, Xiao Tang ran into the dressing room from outside on high heels.
Gu Zhuozhuo was eating an orange, and asked her with puffy cheeks: "?"
"Senior Gu!" Lin Xi was out of breath after chasing Xiao Tang, and her heart was full of fear, thinking about the ranks of the people around Senior Gu, running so fast, what kind of peerless martial arts master is this! ?
He leaned on the door frame to breathe, and after a while Peng Yingjie jumped in, shouting in surprise: "Wow Linxi! Are you here to see me!" After speaking, he hugged Linxi and shook him.
The studio next door was changing tracks, and the weather was too cold, so all the actors gathered in this big dressing room to warm up, watching Gu Zhuozhuo as if they were performing a comedy.
"Huh, the grass-roots team." An actress couldn't see her eyes, and said sarcastic remarks in the corner, her voice was melodious and melodious, as if she was reciting a line from Gongdou: "I've never heard of the bell or a pheasant company. There are people, they are born lacking." A little self-knowledge, making this backstage look like his house... It’s ridiculous. Don’t you think so?”
Speaking of which, this is an actor contracted by Guangyao, named Wu Jingxuan, who has been in the industry for twenty years, and will turn forty as soon as her birthday is over.
Her role is a bit more than Ruan Mei's, but the attention is not very high, playing the queen mother.
There are only three Guangyao actors in the drama produced by Guangyao, Wu Jingxuan is really helpless.She has been dissatisfied with the company's attitude for a long time, but the good company doesn't want her, and she dislikes the one who wants her, so she can only stay there aggrieved, feeling deeply buried.
But in any case, the actors in the same company should have a good relationship, so after she finished her sarcastic remarks, she naturally longed for her colleagues to agree.So she looked to the left - Ruan Mei.Look to the right again - Miao Hang.
Ruan's eyebrows flinched, and she lowered her head and knit a bracelet to pretend she couldn't hear.
Miao Hang was playing with his mobile phone, and pretended not to hear him while concentrating on it.
Wu Jingxuan: "..."
Wu Jingxuan was so angry that she rolled her eyes until her eyes hurt. She thought to herself that her company was something that didn't seek to make progress. No wonder the more it developed, the more dilapidated it became!
Gu Zhuozhao had no idea that someone was going to kill him with anger, so he took Lin Xi and the others to sit under a huge ginkgo tree, sitting by the flower bed, the surroundings were quiet, and no one passed by.
"Tell me, is there any progress?"
"Yes." Lin Xi pursed her lips and glanced at Peng Yingjie, as if asking if he could listen?
Peng Yingjie was dissatisfied: "What!? The seniors told me, well, you are still not a brother!"
"...Oh." Lin Xi turned her gaze back, took out a document from her pocket and handed it to Gu Zhuozhuo, and said seriously, "Brother Wen gave this to me this morning."
Gu Zhuozhuo took it and flipped through it.
"Lin...Lin Jian, at first he didn't admit that he was Mr. J. The police called in the assistant of Teacher Lan Li, yes...the assistant is still in detention, I don't know why I haven't left...Identified him, plus that day Obscure monitoring in the bar confirmed that he is Mr. J. A task force has been established now."
Lin Xi said obediently: "But it is very difficult to check the Julang Club. The manager is just an agent, and the registered owner is a woman. She married a foreigner three years ago. Now she can't be contacted. The books are clean, there is no problem with the inflow and outflow of funds, and it looks...very innocent."
Gu Zhuozhuo flipped through the documents in his hand, there were such things as Julang's business license.
"Mr. K's whereabouts are unknown. An arrest warrant has been issued based on the portrait. Lin Jian is still under interrogation. Others... are still under investigation. Brother Wen told you not to worry."
Gu Zhuozhuo lowered his eyes and sighed: "I'm fine, but you, how are you feeling these days?"
Lin Xi smiled shyly, but there was still haze in her eyes: "I'm much better, and I'm helping the company these days."
"Next time I have trouble, I need to talk about it," Peng Yingjie was still dissatisfied when he thought about it: "I was almost scared to death. This is your luck. What will you do next time if something happens? Anyway, people live a lifetime, either I will help you or you will help me." , there will always be times when you encounter difficulties. Maybe in the future you will become popular, and I will hug your thigh hahahaha—”
Lin Xi was in a complicated mood, imitating Peng Yingjie and laughed a few times, but then retracted it feeling too silly.
He still needs time to digest this experience, but no matter what, the matter has passed, and when he thinks back late at night, he still laments his luck.
The company rented him a small new apartment not far from the bell.This time he accepted the offer openly.
When going back to Lin Jian's rental house to pack his things, Lin Xi took down the wind chime that Peng Yingjie had given him from the window, and cried hard at it.
He didn't know people clearly and failed his friends. Fortunately, it's not too late to change his ways.
This time, he no longer had that urgent feeling of wanting to make money and return favors.Senior Gu is right, many things cannot be rushed, he is still young, the most important thing is to act steadily.
Gu Zhuozhuo finished looking through the materials, put them away, asked Peng Yingjie to take Lin Xi to play, and sat under the tree for a while.
The ginkgo branches were bleak and could not block the warm winter sun. He squinted his eyes and basked in the sun, lamenting Wen Yue's extraordinary intelligence.
In this stack of materials, there are not only various information about Julang Club, Lin Jian's past resume, but also a glorious last year's financial report, and the personal information of the head of the house, Qin Cunzhi.
Gu Zhuozhao carefully recalled that he never told Wen Yue that he doubted Tan Cunzhi.
How did Wen Yue guess it?
Either from the flaws he didn't cover up, or because Lan Li had been with Tan Cunzhi and paid special attention to him, or he had other channels to get some news.
Either way, this document revealed Wen Yue's willingness to discuss with him.
Gu Zhuozhuo thought, if I pretended not to understand, Wen Yue would not mention it again.If I have discussed it with him, all this can no longer be explained by dreams.
——Wen Yue gave me a chance to choose.He started talking to me on an equal footing.
Gu Zhuozhuo closed his eyes and couldn't help but fell back.The slightly curly wig brushed against the side of the face, a little itchy.After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at the ginkgo branches and the unscrupulous warm sun in the gaps, with a smile on his face.
There was nothing to hesitate about this choice, but the meaning behind it made him very happy.
One more thing is also very happy.
After he came back that day, he took the time to check the "fire" that Lin Jian mentioned, and got an important piece of information - ten years ago in this world, on the night of January [-]th, at the pier that Lin Jian had made an appointment with him, a fire broke out. There was a fire.
He checked the news at the time, and the cause of the accident was a fire on a ship docked illegally on the shore.
He had a lot of guesses before, why the accident didn't happen in this parallel world.He was afraid of exposing himself and did not dare to ask others for proof, but he ignored the possibility of this "accident".
Now he is clear, because of the fire that night, he did not meet Lin Jian, so the self in this world naturally does not know his true face.Of course, he indirectly saved his and Wen Yue's lives.
Now he felt at ease, knowing that node, he seemed to be relieved of many things.A fire, as if God gave him a chance.
His smiling eyes were curved, and he couldn't help rolling and turned sideways.
There was a pair of green eyes.
"!" Gu Zhuozhuo was so frightened that his whole body went numb, he sat up suddenly, panting.
a cat!
He scolded angrily: "Why don't you make a sound!?... What are you looking at me for!?"
The fat three-colored cat sat down in disdain, meowed, and raised its paw to lick it with relish.
Suddenly there was a puffing sound from the corner, little Tang Linxi and the others rolled out of the corner laughing: "Hahahaha..."
Gu Zhuozhao: "..."
Xiao Tang held up the phone, pressed the stop button, surrendered and said, "Look, Brother Gu, I didn't mean it, it's really too funny..."
Gu Zhuozhuo's scalp was numb, and he took Xiao Tang's cell phone: "When were you there...this cat..."
He was speechless.
The video is only about a minute and a half long, so they obviously didn't take it long.
