Qiu Miao: Gu Laoer, do you have a hundred thousand whys?

Upon hearing "Fang Yun" confess that he was Zhuo Lin, Xu Qinglou collapsed to the ground.

Zhuo Lin first glanced at Qiu Yanping, as if he was very afraid of him. He said, "I know that Mr. Qiu will come to take me in sooner or later. Although I don't quite understand who Mr. Qiu is, since I have become like this, my instinctive respect for Mr. Qiu makes me very clear about your abilities. But please give me some time. I will not do anything that will embarrass you, but there are some things that I must do myself." He said, his gentle and polite appearance made it difficult for people to associate him with a ghost who died unjustly.

Qiu Yanping was silent for a few seconds and then nodded slightly.

A smile appeared on Zhuo Lin's face, but he quickly suppressed it.

He turned around and said to Xu Qinglou, who was lying on the ground with no manners at all, "This is probably the cycle of karma. You broke my pen holder, but accidentally released me, giving me the opportunity to return to this world."

He approached Xu Qinglou step by step slowly. Xu Qinglou retreated in panic and fear until he was against the corner of the wall with nowhere to retreat.

Xu Qinglou closed his eyes tightly as if to deceive himself, and said hastily, "You...what do you want? I'll give it to you! Just let me go, okay?"

"You want me to have everything I want? But what if you can't give it to me?" Zhuo Lin laughed. He stopped and stood in front of Xu Qinglou, then slowly squatted down. "I want to be reunited with my wife and daughter. Can you do that?"

Xu Qinglou's face turned pale.

"Look, you can't do it." Zhuo Lin looked at him, shook his head slightly, and said, "Xu Qinglou, I have known you for more than 20 years, and you have always only made empty words and promises."

"At first you said that the product would not bring danger to users, but then what happened? Among the first batch of users, one-third were injured." He snorted and laughed. "Later we improved it, and you said you didn't want to sell it to the military. You drew such a grand blueprint in front of me that even I was tempted."

Gu Wenle was stunned. He subconsciously looked at Gu Wenye. This was not what they had overheard from Xu Qinglou. Didn't Xu Qinglou say that the subsequent series of designs occurred because of the seller's choice contradiction? Gu Wenye shook his head slightly at him, signaling Gu Wenle not to speak.

"But what happened later? In a blink of an eye, you became the owner of the second-generation product, and I became a thief whose plagiarized work was exposed on the spot. You became a magnanimous, kind-hearted, good-hearted former partner, but I was accused by everyone of being a dirty, shrewd and calculating villain." Zhuo Lin's eyes flashed with hatred, and his voice suddenly became hoarse, as if a storm was brewing, and a hissing sound came from his throat, which made people shudder.

"Xu Qinglou, you have made a very good calculation. For so many years, you have enjoyed our success alone. Look, you own such a large garden villa, but my wife and daughter had to sell all their property and move to an old citizen building after my death. Over the years, you have never felt even a little guilty and thought about taking care of the family of the former partner you killed. Otherwise, you would have discovered that Fang Yun was my daughter, and all this would not exist now."

Zhuo Lin sneered, he stood up and looked down at Xu Qinglou, "Everything that happened now, if you trace the source, it was all caused by you. If you want to hate or blame someone, just blame yourself."

"I won't kill you. I won't let you die quickly." Zhuo Lin changed the subject and his voice became gentle. He looked at Xu Qinglou with a smile on his face, facing Fang Yun. "Do you still like the fear that followed you like a shadow some time ago?"

Xu Qinglou felt that Zhuo Lin, who looked like Fang Yun at this moment, was as scary as a devil crawling out of hell. He couldn't imagine that his future life would be shrouded in such intimidation. He covered his ears with shaking hands and muttered to himself, "No, no..."

"You will experience the pain I felt back then. The power and career you love most will slowly collapse, and everything you care about will eventually become nothing. I won't kill you, Xu Qinglou. You don't deserve my daughter to have her blood on her body because of you." Zhuo Lin looked at him and suddenly made a move, grabbing Xu Qinglou from the ground. His eyes turned blood red and black circles changed and expanded in his pupils, as if he had double pupils.

Xu Qinglou was caught off guard and met Zhuo Lin's eyes unconsciously. A moment of fear appeared on his face, and then he became dazed, as if he had lost his subjective consciousness.

"In your long future life, you will find that I am everywhere. I will leave traces in every corner of your life. You will smell fear all the time and it will envelop you until death takes you away from this world and returns you to me completely." Zhuo Lin and Xu Qinglou were so close that their breath could hit each other's face. He whispered in Xu Qinglou's ear, and every word seemed to be engraved in his mind.

Qiu Yanping was slightly stunned when he saw Zhuo Lin's eyes. Those were eyes that had made a deal with the underworld - eyes that were bloodshot and looked like double pupils. He looked at Xu Qinglou who had lost consciousness. Zhuo Lin's revenge was both crazy and forbearing, which made him sigh. He didn't say anything, and he didn't have any intention of stopping it.

After Zhuo Lin finished speaking, his hand loosened and Xu Qinglou fell back to the floor. He glanced at Qiu Yanping and the others again, curled the corners of his mouth indifferently, his eyes returned to their normal color, he closed his eyes, his body swayed, and he knelt weakly on the ground.

Qiu Yanping frowned slightly. Before he could do anything, Fang Yun opened her eyes again. She looked around in confusion, then at the unconscious Xu Qinglou. She came to her senses, pursed her lips, and asked dryly, "My father...he left?"

Qiu Yanping nodded, "He fulfilled his wish."

"Xu Qinglou has paid the price for his sins. As long as he lives, he will experience fear and the threat of death over and over again." He paused, noticing the unwillingness in Fang Yun's eyes, and then he continued, "You should know that Zhuo Lin doesn't want your hands to be dirty because of someone as unworthy as Xu Qinglou. He has done everything he wanted to do, and he has left this world. You should also move on."

"Mr. Qiu, I can no longer see the way." Fang Yun smiled at him, and she waved her hand again, saying, "But since that is my father's wish, I will definitely not let him down. I will not kill him, nor will I do anything unnecessary. I just want to watch him weaken day by day. I want to see how Xu Qinglou will be tortured by fear and pain."

Qiu Yanping said nothing after hearing this. He was used to this kind of scene, and many times he could not help these people.

Only the person involved knows the pain. No matter what he says, it is useless. Those dry and high-sounding words are enough to be said once and will not have any real effect.

Xu Qinglou was still in a semi-comatose state. Qiu Yanping felt that there was nothing he could do here, so he simply said goodbye.

Fang Yun straightened his appearance slightly and sent Qiu Yanping and the Gu brothers out the door.

Gu Wenle looked at the heavily locked door behind him that slowly closed again and let out a breath of foul air. Everything he heard and saw tonight was beyond his expectations.

Qiu Yanping glanced at General Gu's younger brother, smiled, and asked him, "How is Mr. Gu?"

"Well, it's okay, it's okay..." Gu Wenle touched his cheek and exclaimed as if he remembered something. He reached into his inner pocket and returned the Five Emperors' Coin that Qiu Yanping had lent him. He asked curiously, "Why is this ancient coin useful in this way?"

"How should I know?" Qiu Yanping shrugged and put away the Five Emperors' Coins that the two brothers had returned.

Gu Wenle choked and touched his nose awkwardly.

"How do you know that it was Fang Yun who secretly helped Zhuo Lin to pull off those bluffing tricks?" Gu Wenye remotely controlled the wheelchair as he walked side by side with Qiu Yanping.

"When I shook hands with her earlier, I looked at the life line on her hand and figured out her relationship with Zhuo Lin," Qiu Yanping said. "Then I tricked her and found out."

Gu Wenle was shocked and couldn't help asking curiously, "You can figure out everything just by looking at the palm of your hand?"

"Yes, do you want me to read your fortune?" Qiu Yanping raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Wenle, "But I have to charge for reading people's fortunes. How much do you want to pay me, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Wenle coughed lightly and said, "No, no, I still think the unknown is more interesting."

Qiu Yanping actually agreed with this statement.

"Has Mr. Qiu ever calculated himself?" Gu Wenle asked again.

Gu Wenye's grip on the wheelchair tightened slightly when he heard this. If Qiu Yanping had calculated... would their ridiculous engagement have been discovered? Gu Wenye thought, frowning.

Qiu Yanping smiled and said, "We Feng Shui masters calculate others' fortunes but not ourselves, just like a doctor who treats others but not himself." Qiu Yanping was talking nonsense. It was obvious that his hand lines were messy and mysterious, and no one could figure them out.

Although Gu Wenye did not like Qiu Yanping's analogy, he was relieved by the result.

"Feng Shui master?" Gu Wenle blinked blankly again. He had heard countless new words tonight.

"What are you asking?" Qiu Yanping narrowed his eyes. He was not someone who could teach or answer questions, so he was not in a good mood to explain everything to Gu Wenle one by one.

When Gu Wenle saw Qiu Yanping narrow his eyes, he thought that Qiu Yanping was a person that even Zhuo Lin was afraid of, so he immediately put away his curiosity and laughed dryly, "I'm just curious, just asking casually."

As he spoke, he nudged his eldest brother lightly with his elbow, signaling Gu Wenye to smooth things over for him.

Gu Wenye glanced at his brother helplessly. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Qiu Yanping say, "A first-rate Feng Shui master, he can turn the dragon veins around with a single stroke and overturn the dynasty with a single hand. He can change the fate of a country with his own strength. This is a Feng Shui master. Do you believe it?"
