"Fool, they are all the same. Regardless of whether they are evil people or not, does Song Ruyuan have the right to dispose of them at will?"

He placed his hands on Gu Qichen's shoulders, leaned forward slightly, looked into his eyes, and said, "I was like this at the beginning, but after a long time, I couldn't stop myself."

"Little brat, you and I are blood relatives." Huo Tianyan lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, his voice indifferent: "Even if everyone in the world hates me, only you can't be like this."

Gu Qichen's heart seemed to be stabbed with a hole, and he felt extremely painful. His voice, as calm as dead water, rang out again: "By doing this, have you left yourself a way out? What are you going to do in the future?"

He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Do you...have a future?"

"When the time comes, there will be an ending," Huo Tianyan said this in a lonely tone.

Gu Qichen raised his head slightly and looked at him. Under the light and darkness, his jawline was even sharper. His eyes were gloomy. "What about me?"

"You've been planning for years, plotting revenge, and arranging an ending for yourself. What about me? How do you plan for me who suddenly appears?"

"You told me about the tragic ending of my sister who loved and cared for me since childhood. I have felt the pain you felt at that time. Is your purpose in doing this to make me follow the same path as you?"

Huo Tianyan had a light smile on his face, but his voice was sinister and cold: "Do you hate it?"

"hatred..."

Hatred did arise in his heart, and he couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he witnessed his loved ones experiencing those things.

I'm afraid he's even crazier than Huo Tianyan.

Huo Tianyan's smile deepened, and he asked again: "Then will you follow the same path as me?"

Gu Qichen was cold and his eyes were narrow and fierce. He shouted at the man who was a head taller than him, "No."

"I will not follow your path. Even if my heart is in great pain, I will not give up on myself. Even if I lose you, I still have other relatives, such as my uncle who raised me and my brother who has watched me grow up. They are waiting for me."

"I have a home," when he shouted the last three words, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes again and the expression on his face became somewhat hideous.

"Why are you still as crybaby as you were when you were a child?" Huo Tianyan was silent for a while, then said in a slow and soothing voice.

He said, "Song Ruyuan, I won't move again, you can rest assured."

He moved closer, looked at Gu Qichen's cold face, and chuckled, "Little brat, I'm glad you're alive."

Gu Qichen's eyes were bloodshot and he remained silent.

Huo Tianyan let go of his hand, turned around and looked at Huo Tianwen's tablet, and said, "Sister, the child has grown up, you should take a good look at him."

He looked at Gu Qichen again and said, "Stay a little longer, they must miss you very much."

After saying this, he walked out of the dark room.

When he passed by the rusty iron chain, he stopped and looked. The bloodstains on the chain represented more than a dozen lives of the banker.

He looked at it for a long time.

He walked out of the tin room, stood outside, and looked up at the night, his eyes darker than the night itself.

In the dark room, Gu Qichen looked at the photo of Huo Tianwen, and then glanced at the tablets of Huo Kunan and his wife.

He closed his eyes sadly and lamented, "I clearly don't remember it, but why does it still hurt so much?"

Everything Huo Tianyan said plunged him into a dark abyss, and he wandered helplessly in the crazy heartache.

Although he had not experienced it personally, with every word Huo Tianyan said, he felt as if he was there.

Is this your closest relative?

But he is a bad guy!

He slowly knelt down on the ground and stayed there for a long, long time...

It took so long that his legs had no feeling at all and the blood in his body seemed to be frozen by the cold night air. Only then did he slowly stand up.

He wiped the tablet and the altar with his sleeves. After finishing everything, he looked at Huo Tianwen's photo for a long time, as if in a dream.

It seemed that I heard Huo Tianwen calling gently: "Tuan Tuan, come to sister..."

A small figure stumbled towards her and threw himself into her arms.

"Why are you unhappy?"

The child cried aggrievedly, and said incoherently: "Brother, ignore me..."

Huo Tianwen picked up the child and coaxed him softly, "Did your brother bully Tuantuan? Can you beat him up?"

"Oh no, brother, it hurts..."

"Hahaha, our group is so well behaved,"

Gu Qichen wiped the tears from his face, Tuantuan?

His nickname?

He looked at Huo Tianwen's photo and laughed, "Sister, this name is really ugly."

"Sorry, I'm a little late,"

Gu Qichen talked a lot to the tablet, saying that he lived a good life, he had never suffered, and he... seemed to remember her.

It was a long time before he said goodbye to the tablet.

Turn around and walk out of the dark room.

When he passed by the iron chains in the outer room, he stepped forward, picked up the chains in his hands, and held them tightly. Because he used too much force, the rusty chains rubbed his palms with scars.

He smiled sadly: "It's so heavy."

Such a thick and long iron chain, worn around a person's neck, this kind of life of being treated like a dog, Huo Tianyan...

How long has it been?

He couldn't bear it just thinking about it. How did Huo Tianyan endure it?

People's endurance is limited. If it exceeds this limit, people will collapse. But why didn't he collapse?

How did he endure it?

Snap....

The chain fell to the ground, making a noise.

The man walked out of the room with heavy steps.

Come outside.

The wind blows, the leaves fall, and a lone shadow stands slantingly.

Not far away, Huo Tianyan, who was smoking, heard the voice and turned around, looking at him calmly.

Gu Qichen walked up and stood beside him.

Huo Tianyan threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, took out two cigarettes from the cigarette box, put one in his mouth and lit it.

He brought the other one closer to the already lit cigarette and lit it.

He handed it to Gu Qichen next to him.

The night was dark, and the two people's eyes and brows were blurred in the diffuse smoke.

The moonlight shone through the sparse trees onto the two of them, with mottled light and shadows, as bleak as frost.
