Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Only love can find order in chaos...
Su Ting first saw a pair of white Dexter shoes, then looking up, he saw a pair of white trousers and an Italian brown casual suit. Su Ting immediately stood up and his eyes were level with the uninvited guest.
"Fu Xici."
Fu Xici joked, "I used to see you always carrying a bottle of wine, but now I feel like something is missing."
"Why are you in Rome?"
Fu Xici said, "I haven't had time to tell you yet, but I've already canceled my lease at Caos Ordinato and decided to start a new life in Rome."
Su Ting really didn't have time to pay attention to the situation of Threshold, and he knew nothing about the sudden departure of this old acquaintance. He could only sigh that things in the world are impermanent, and life is a huge coming and going.
He asked, "Why do you want to leave the country?"
Fu Xici: "Because seeing an impossible person every day is a torture for me, so it's better not to meet him forever."
Su Ting smiled and said, "Want a drink?"
"Okay, my Caos Ordinato has arrived at the place where you made your wish. Want to go check it out?"
Su Ting followed Fu Xici respectfully. Fu Xici said, "I named my restaurant 'Ordered Chaos' because it's about the city of Rome. You can see the ancient and the modern, the sacred and the secular, the glorious and the dilapidated. And yet, you can always find a precarious order in the chaos, just like the relationship between people. Impulse is the ultimate chaos, but only love can find order in chaos."
Su Ting smiled and said, "So that's how it is. This is the first time I've heard of it."
"You came out to avoid the explosion in the western suburbs, right?" Fu Xici led him to Caos Ordinato. The familiar layout made Su Ting feel a little at home.
"I can't hide it from you." Su Ting smiled helplessly. "I don't dare to read the news. What's it about?"
"The whole article is full of negative comments, saying that you guys are taking human lives lightly. And with the pictures of the scene, even I think you are a black-hearted businessman." Fu Xici brought Su Ting his favorite sparkling wine and asked the waiter to pour it into the glass.
"Do you believe it too?"
"I know you, of course I don't believe it."
Su Ting smiled and said, "But I did just as they wrote. I did it just to drive up the housing prices in the West District."
"Feihe also issued a statement saying that the explosives in the pipe were placed by someone with ulterior motives and that they had called the police to collect evidence. However, the statement was too weak and was quickly drowned out by those negative articles," said Fu Xici.
"Thank you for keeping an eye on the domestic news for me."
Su Ting was also concerned about one thing: whether others would be able to find the photos he had leaked and whether they would make a big fuss about it.
"Those photos of mine...were not stolen in this incident."
Fu Xici toasted him and said, "No, public opinion has been kept under control. Nothing about you has been dug into."
I don’t know how much work Zhou Xubai did behind the scenes, and I don’t know whether Ye Xiuming was instrumental in this.
Xiuming...how's he doing? "I want to make a phone call, is that okay?" Su Ting asked.
"You are always free." Fu Xici looked at him affectionately and said.
Su Ting was stunned for a moment, turned and stepped into the street, and with trembling fingertips he dialed Ye Xiuming.
After trying several times, he couldn't get through, so he called Zhou Xubai instead.
Soon Zhou Xubai's haggard voice was heard: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. How's the investigation going?"
Zhou Xubai: "The police said there will be news within this week. It's just that the media attacks are too fierce. The stock has already hit the lower limit twice. I don't know how much the market value will lose this time."
"Stop," Su Ting interrupted him, "Where's Xiuming? Why can't I get through to him?"
"The people I sent to follow him said that Xiao Ye went to Zheng Li's house at noon and hasn't come back yet. Zhong Xiang and I are discussing countermeasures." Zhou Xubai's eyes were burning as he said this. He didn't know how heartbroken Su Ting would be after hearing this.
"Going to Zheng Li's house... then Xiuming is being controlled by someone. Can we call the police?"
"We called the police right away, but they didn't seem to dare search Zheng Li's house, so the matter fell through." Zhou Xubai was so anxious that half his head was numb. He rubbed his scalp and said, "He probably wouldn't do anything to Xiao Ye."
Su Ting was also unsure, his body trembling. He quickly gathered his scarf and said, "Zhou Xubai, I think I am just a coward."
"Then you can't come back either!" Zhou Xubai was almost mad. "What if Zheng Li colludes with those police officers and insists that the residue in the pipe was caused by our lack of thorough inspection? Do you want to go to jail?"
"But I won't let you go to jail for the second time."
"Don't worry, only legal persons are responsible, so you can only hide."
Su Ting struggled, "But what should Xiuming do?"
"That Zheng Li just wants Ye Huaian to shut up in jail. If he dares to raise a finger against Little Ye, I will have Zhong Xiang send a letter to Ye Huaian in jail!"
The situation seemed to be stabilized by the two forces that restrained each other. Su Ting suddenly felt relieved, thinking that Xiuming's personal safety would not be really affected.
But the world is so dangerous that Ye Xiuming is finally going to test the law with his own body.
Even if it was just a mental setback, it was enough to make Su Ting feel a little disappointed. When he returned to the restaurant, he deliberately drank a few more rounds than Fu Xici, and soon there was a hint of drunkenness on his face.
Fu Xici recalled the night when he was closest to Su Ting, and inevitably had some opinions. Accompanied by the deep and peaceful night, he said: "I should have attacked you that night, maybe you would have been mine."
Su Ting said drunkenly, "Then why don't you do it?"
Fu Xici said: "I am not a saint, but I am not a mortal either. Just think of it as me finding my own orderly chaos."
Su Ting did not respond. He picked up his coat and pulled Fu Xici towards the street. He obviously let down his heavy guard and came to the nearby wishing fountain.
He took a coin out of his coat, put his hands to his mouth and muttered a few words, then with a beautiful parabola, the coin fell into the water.
Fu Xici recalled the scene when he met Su Ting here seven years ago, and felt a burning pain in his heart. He carefully put his arm around Su Ting's waist and said, "I also found a lot of ancient coins for you. I'm sure you will like them."
Su Ting looked back at him with sparkling eyes. His silhouette was beautiful in the moonlight. He smiled sincerely and said, "This time, my wish included 'return to Rome', so... it will definitely come true, right?"
"What did you wish for?"
"secret."
Fu Xici: "You have too many secrets."
Soutine: "That's because I'm actually a very superficial person. I can only use 'secrets' to deliberately create a sense of mystery."
Fu Xici didn't believe that he was such a person and remained silent.
Su Ting's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, "Don't you think I'm hypocritical, Xiuming?"
