Black Industry (II)
Due to an accident on the train, the train was delayed and arrived in Beijing at three o'clock in the afternoon. At the exit, she saw Gu Fang standing out from the crowd from afar. He was wearing sunglasses and waving at her.
Shen Xingyan followed the crowd out, and Gu Fang took the bag from her hand, "Why are you so late?"
Shen Xingyan then told what happened in the car, "The two brothers said that they were doing business together and made money, but because of the uneven distribution of the money, they had a conflict, and the girl designed to frame them.
But I saw that they were lying. They didn't look like decent businessmen at all. The elder brother looked like a gangster and the younger brother looked like a thief. As for the girl, she was so scheming that she even schemed against the flight attendant. She was not a decent person either. ”
"Where are they?"
"The train police escorted them to the nearest station. As for the girl, the train police said he would issue a warrant for her arrest. Well, let's not talk about them anymore. Director Zhang said that Beijing will arrange a guesthouse. You just need to take me there. By the way, where do you live?"
"I live with Lingqi. He's very busy and sometimes doesn't come back to stay."
"Don't you want to go home and visit?"
Gu Fang shook his head, "Training tomorrow?"
"Well, the training lasted half a month. Director Zhang said that this was a rare opportunity and asked me to listen carefully."
Gu Fang drove her to the guesthouse, which was near the Municipal Bureau. There were two people in a room. Another forensic doctor had already arrived and was packing up.
As soon as Shen Xingyan entered, she introduced herself enthusiastically, "My name is Zhou Tang, I'm a forensic doctor at the Long'an City Bureau, and I was just assigned here this year."
"My name is Shen Xingyan, Nanfu City Bureau."
Zhou Tang opened his mouth wide, "So you are Shen Xingyan, I didn't attend your class, it's a pity."
Shen Xingyan smiled awkwardly, "My knowledge is not worthy of being shown off in front of an expert. This time, the teacher is truly an expert."
Zhou Tang's eyes fell on Gu Fang, his eyes were ambiguous, "Who is this?"
"This is our detachment leader Gu Fang. He happened to be home on vacation."
Zhou Tang blushed slightly when she saw that Gu Fang was tall and handsome. "Hello, Captain Gu."
Gu Fang nodded. "Go have dinner first, and then come back to rest early. You must be tired after sitting in the car all day."
Shen Xingyan asked Zhou Tang, "Do you want to come together?"
Zhou Tang shook his head, "I'm not hungry yet, you guys go eat."
Gu Fang took Shen Xingyan to a small restaurant and ordered three dishes and a soup. "After your training tomorrow, I'll take you around. Jing City has a nice cultural landscape and a lot of snacks."
Shen Xingyan also wanted to see the Beijing city twenty years ago, so he nodded and agreed.
While eating, Gu Fang's pager rang. Gu Fang glanced at it and frowned.
Out of professional habit, Shen Xingyan asked, "Is there anything going on?"
"It's okay, don't worry about it."
"Some things cannot be avoided, you have to face them."
Gu Fang laughed, "Did Forensic Doctor Shen change his career to become a psychologist?"
"Don't change the subject, you know what I'm talking about."
"But I don't want to see them." Gu Fang stirred the rice in his bowl silently. "Whenever I see that woman, I think of my mother. The year my mother died was the year that woman's son was born. Gu Yunlang betrayed my mother a long time ago. If it weren't for his betrayal, my mother wouldn't have died."
Shen Xingyan didn't expect Gu Fang's life experience to be like this. No wonder he didn't want to mention it. "In this case, then don't go back."
"You change fast."
Shen Xingyan shrugged. "We are colleagues and neighbors. If I don't stand on your side, who else should I stand on?"
Unfortunately, Gu Yunlang had no intention of letting Gu Fang go. Messages came on the pager one after another. Gu Yunlang threatened Gu Fang that if he didn't go home, he would never be able to stay in Beijing safely. Gu Fang read the messages with a sullen face. He knew what Gu Yunlang was planning, and he would not let him get his wish.
…
The Gu family lives in the suburbs and has a small detached villa.
Gu Yunlang started out as a small restaurant, and now has several chain stores. He has also ventured into the hotel industry, expanding from Beijing to other provinces.
Gu Yunlang is a man who can endure hardships, and accordingly, he also requires his children and wife to endure hardships with him.
Gu Fang's mother, Li Xiuying, died because she lived in poverty and fell ill without timely medical treatment. Therefore, Gu Fang had many complaints about Gu Yunlang.
It just so happened that not long after Li Xiuying's death, Gu Yunlang married his current wife Si Ting, who had a one-year-old child. If you calculate the time, the child was born less than a month after Li Xiuying's death.
Gu Fang could no longer forgive Gu Yunlang. His so-called ability to endure hardship was nothing but his harsh treatment. He was not even willing to pay for his mother's medical treatment, but instead raised a mother and son outside.
From then on, Gu Fang started to rebel and refused to talk to Gu Yunlang properly. There was even a time when he wanted to sever the father-son relationship.
Gu Fang was admitted to the Police Academy without Gu Yunlang's knowledge, and left Beijing as soon as he graduated. If it weren't for Zhai Shibang's matter, he would not have come back.
Gu drove the car and entered the villa. This place was more like a cage of shackles than a home.
The car stopped in front of the door and a young man rushed out with a look of expectation and surprise on his face.
Gu parked the car, and at the same time the passenger door opened, and Shen Xingyan got out of the car.
The young man paused and looked at Shen Xingyan curiously.
Shen Xingyan wore a black A-line skirt that reached her calves, short boots, a simple striped shirt on the upper body, and a lotus pink square-necked short jacket. Her hair was loose and draped over her shoulders.
In order to match Gu Fang, she even put on makeup. She was already good-looking, and she looked even more delicate after putting on makeup.
Gu Fang took her hand and walked into the house. When passing by the young man, he asked, "Where is your father?" but did not stop.
Gu Zhen followed behind excitedly, "He went to the company and came back in time for dinner. My mother went for a beauty treatment." He secretly sized up Shen Xingyan, not daring to look too presumptuous.
"Didn't go to school?"
"I'm looking for an internship. My father told me to go to a company, but I don't want to go. I'm not interested in managing a company." Gu Zhen looked at Gu Fang timidly, with envy and fear in his eyes.
"You asked me to come back, but you're not home." Gu Fang pulled Shen Xingyan to sit on the sofa, "What would you like to drink?" He went to open the refrigerator, which was full of drinks. These were the drinks that Gu Zhen liked to drink. As long as he was at home, the refrigerator would be filled with these things.
Gu Fang frowned, "I'll make you some tea."
Gu Zhen ran to get the tea leaves, "This is the new mountain variety my father bought."
Gu Fang took it and made tea for Shen Xingyan.
Gu Zhen said: "Is she my sister-in-law?"
Shen Xingyan almost vomited blood. This name was too scary. "You can call me Sister Shen."
Gu Zhen smiled, "Hello, Sister Shen, Sister Shen is really beautiful."
Shen Xingyan's old face turned red, and he wanted to cover it up by drinking tea, but the tea was too hot, so he could only laugh dryly.
Although Gu Zhen was born to Gu Fang's stepmother, his eyebrows look very similar to Gu Fang, probably because he looks like his father. Gu Zhen looks like a good boy, with his hair covering his forehead. He always wants to get close to Gu Fang, but deliberately keeps his distance.
Gu Fang sat beside Shen Xingyan and crossed his legs. "If they don't come back, I'll leave. Tell them I was here."
"No, Dad is always thinking about you. If it weren't for the urgent matter at the company, he wouldn't go. Wait a little longer." Gu Zhen sat on the sofa next to Gu Fang. "In order for you to come back, Dad asked Aunt to go back for vacation."
"He's probably afraid of exposing his family's shame."
Gu Zhen's face suddenly darkened. "Dad has not been in good health recently. I often hear him coughing in the middle of the night. My mom wanted to take him to the hospital, but he refused. You can persuade him later."
Gu Fang snorted and didn't respond.
The sound of a car engine came from the yard, and Gu Zhen was delighted, "It must be Dad coming back." He stood up and went out to greet him.
Gu Fang sat there without moving, his body stiff.
Shen Xingyan held his hand, "Won't you introduce me to someone?" She pulled Gu Fang up. Gu Fang put one hand in his pocket and walked towards the door reluctantly with the other hand held by Shen Xingyan.
First, I heard Gu Zhen call Dad, and then there was a cough, "Is your brother back?"
Gu Fang stopped and clenched his hands into fists in his trouser pockets. The lines of his arms were as stiff as stone.
Shen Xingyan squeezed his hand and a smile appeared on her face.
Gu Yunlang strode in and glanced at Gu Fang first. His eyes were filled with alienation, reproach, and a hint of imperceptible concern. Then his eyes fell on Shen Xingyan, "Girlfriend?"
Gu Fang didn't say anything, but instead held Shen Xingyan's hand.
Gu Yunlang snorted, "I thought you would never date, but you always refuse when I introduce you to someone. Mingxuan has been coming here often in the past few years when you were away from home, and she always tells me about your recent situation. Such a good girl..."
"I have a girlfriend." Gu Fang interrupted Gu Yunlang unhappily. He knew that he was called back because of this.
Gu Yunlang looked at Shen Xingyan, "What's your name? What do your parents do? Do you have a job?" As he spoke, he walked to the sofa and sat down. Gu Zhen poured him a glass of water.
"Are you checking the household registration?" Gu Fang said coldly, "Her name is Shen Xingyan, and she is a forensic doctor."
Gu Zhen's eyes widened instantly. He obviously didn't expect that such a beautiful girl would be a forensic doctor.
Gu Yunlang almost spit out a mouthful of water, his face looked very ugly, "A girl does this?"
Gu Fang smiled, "She and Mingxuan are classmates. Mingxuan can be a forensic doctor, so why can't she do it?"
"Mingxuan went to perform the ritual because you became a police officer!" Gu Yunlang was furious. He couldn't understand what was wrong with these young people. They left their good family business and insisted on becoming police officers and forensic doctors. "You become a police officer and find a forensic doctor. How are you going to live in the future?"
"Then you don't need to worry about it."
"I think you came back here on purpose to quarrel with me."
"You insisted that I come back."
Gu Yunlang glared at him. He had called him back with the intention of bringing him and Mingxuan together, but who knew that he actually brought a girlfriend back with him. "Okay, okay, I'm being nosy. What happens to you in the future has nothing to do with me!"
"You've said this a long time ago. We really have no relationship." Gu Fang pulled Shen Xingyan out, his hands clenched tightly, trembling slightly, and sweat oozing from his palms.
Gu Yunlang suddenly slapped the coffee table loudly, "Did I let you go? Cough cough..." He started coughing violently, his face turning red. Gu Zhen helped him calm down and called him "brother" in a pleading manner.
Gu Fang stopped, turned around, and looked at him like a fish out of water. "Back then, you said you wanted to sever the father-son relationship with me, and I had no objection, so I went to Nanfu. Now I'm back in Jingshi, and you said you wanted me to go home, so I came back. But you said you have nothing to do with me. If you have nothing to do with me, why am I still staying here?"
Gu Yunlang stopped coughing and drank a few sips of water. "Xiao Fang, I don't have much time left. Your brother is young, and your aunt only knows how to do beauty treatments. How can we survive without support at home? Come back, and the company will be yours."
Gu Zhen stared at the water cup on the coffee table, his eyes drooped, his lips slightly pursed, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Gu Fang sneered, "I don't want it!"
"Consider it as a plea."
Gu Zhen suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Fang pleadingly, "Brother, I don't want the company."
Gu Fang turned his face away and said, "This is your business. It has nothing to do with me." He pulled Shen Xingyan out.
Gu Yunlang called him, but he didn't even look back and got into the car. When he got in the car, Gu Fang didn't drive, but stared at something in a daze.
Shen Xingyan was a little worried, "Let me drive."
Gu Fang nodded, turned around and crawled to the back seat. Shen Xingyan sat in the driving seat and drove away. In the rearview mirror, he saw Gu Zhen standing at the door.
Gu Fang closed his eyes, pursed his lips tightly, and the hairs at the corners of his eyes kept trembling. It was heartbreaking to see such a carefree man suddenly become like this.
