The sudden darkness filled the room with a different kind of ambiguity. The sudden change in the environment made certain details obvious, and even the heart beating in the chest quickened its pace. Chen Qizhao's hand was still on the switch. He stood against the wall. Behind his neck were Shen Yuhuai's fingers, which were gradually getting hotter, as if they were taking on his body temperature bit by bit.
The silence seemed like a tacit permission. Amid the knock on the door, the two of them leaned very close to each other, their breathing intertwined.
Shen Yuhuai's forehead was against him, and their noses were rubbing against each other. A warm feeling spread over the skin of his face. The distance between them was even closer. The tense muscles under his fingertips seemed to move slowly with his breathing. The touch changed from cool to hot. Chen Qizhao did not stop. He lifted up Shen Yuhuai's clothes.
He is sweating.
Outside the door, Special Assistant Xu looked at the housekeeper after knocking twice, unsure about the current situation.
The housekeeper saw the situation and was not sure whether Chen Qizhao had really come to the second floor, so he asked, "Did the Second Young Master come to the second floor?"
"He should be coming." Special Assistant Xu saw someone entering the villa. After coming here, he ran to the lounge to look for the person but couldn't find him. After asking the servant, he found out that the person was on the second floor.
The second floor of the villa is not open to the public, and guests are on the first floor or in the garden.
"I don't know if he's here." Special Assistant Xu received an order from his superior, and confirming the location of the Second Young Master was his top priority. "The door should be unlocked, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud sound of the door being locked.
Special Assistant Xu: “?”
Butler: “Maybe.”
Special Assistant Xu: “…”
He is not deaf.
The sound of the lock being locked was like a loud signal, telling them that not only was there someone inside, but that person had heard what they said and locked the door directly. Assistant Xu's hand was shaking a little as he approached the door handle. He knew who locked the door without having to guess from this familiar style of behavior. He looked at the butler for help.
The butler couldn't help but take two steps back and coughed slightly.
Special Assistant Xu asked anxiously, "Second Master, are you in there?"
"Go to sleep."
The voice seemed to come from a long distance away, muffled and low, like Chen Qizhao's usual violent temper.
Special Assistant Xu: “…”
Going to bed so early? And there’s a birthday party downstairs!
The sound outside the door weakened. Chen Qizhao's waist was supported by Chen Yuhuai, and the other party's fingers pressed on his spine, like a dragonfly skimming the water, but also like approaching the bottom line of both parties little by little. The position of the two was no longer limited to the narrow wall. Chen Qizhao raised his head slightly and kissed Shen Yuhuai, following the shape of his lips, and finally prying open his lips and teeth to go in. The two of them walked inside while kissing, and inevitably stumbled in the dark environment. The wheelchair was bumped and finally slammed against the edge of the table, and the two fell on the bed.
The loud noise attracted the attention of the two people at the door.
Special Assistant Xu, who was about to turn around and leave, stopped and shouted again: "Second Young Master!?"
In the gap between kisses, Chen Qizhao let out a brief breath: "It's okay."
Special Assistant Xu looked at the butler hesitantly, but the voice just now didn't sound like everything was alright!
His eyes lingered on the door handle for a long time, and finally looked at the butler.
Housekeeper: "If you need it, you can apply to the eldest master. There is a spare key downstairs."
This means that if you want to go in, you can go in.
Special Assistant Xu shuddered. The eldest young master only asked him to confirm the location of the second young master. As long as he stayed in the villa, he would be safe... Besides, he didn't have the courage to disturb the sleep of the living devil.
Soon, he calmed down and nodded solemnly to the butler, "Thank you for your help. I will go back and report to the young master."
The noise outside the door faded away, and the knocking sound also stopped.
Chen Qizhao lay on his back on the bed, the feeling of dampness and heat becoming more and more severe. He tilted his head back to kiss Chen Yuhuai, his fingers touching the muscles of his waist and abdomen.
The frequent kissing sounds cater to the increasingly rapid heartbeats, and the rapidly secreted adrenaline makes the body reach a state of excitement. Both of them are adults, and this kind of intimate contact will only make some originally controllable factors eventually lead to uncontrollable outcomes.
The man lifted up his clothes and took off his loose light grey T-shirt. The clothes fell to the ground and Chen Qizhao felt a tight and broad back.
Shen Yuhuai's frame is relatively large. This perception was originally based on his slightly longer fingers and slightly larger palms, but when the person pressed on him, it was as if he was completely enveloped. The muscles were spread all over the frame, and the tightness brought about by his breathing seemed uncontrollable and could tilt out at any time.
It was like lighting a fire, and now the fire was getting bigger and bigger.
Chen Qizhao's breathing became faster and faster.
In the chaos, the mobile phone in the shirt pocket fell onto the soft quilt. The vibration sound and an anonymous call appeared on the phone screen.
The buzzing sound and the continuously bright screen of the mobile phone are the only bright and eye-catching places in the room.
The two of them were distracted for a moment, their attention drawn to their vibrating cell phones, and they couldn't help but look over.
Chen Qizhao caught a glimpse of the phone screen out of the corner of his eye, and when he came to his senses, he saw Yu Huai's deep eyes reflected in the light of the phone screen. His fingers had originally hooked onto the edge of the phone, but soon Shen Yuhuai's hand came over, passed through his fingertips, and interlocked their fingers and pressed them on the bed.
The phone was knocked a few steps away by this action, and the vibration sound also faded away.
"Fraud call?" Shen Yuhuai asked softly.
Chen Qizhao blushed and his heart beat fast, and when his fingers moved down, they touched Shen Yuhuai's waistband.
…
A studio in S city has changed from being dim to bright, and meals at work have been changed from instant noodles to a set meal with three meat dishes and one vegetable. The environment of the studio has been updated. At this time, the employee who was slurping noodles looked at the message on the computer screen, swallowed it quickly and said, "Boss, there's movement, another one escaped."
The studio was filled with the sounds of typing or making phone calls, noisy yet orderly.
The man in the flowered shirt sat in front of a mountain of documents. He scrolled through the phone list and dialed the number for the third time. A cold female voice reminded him that no one was on the line at the moment. He ate some food with a worried look on his face. "Why didn't the boss answer my call?"
"There are so many things to do at night, the boss must be busy." The younger brother sipped two mouthfuls of noodles, sat on the sliding chair and slid in front of the man in the flowered shirt, and said incoherently: "Anyway, there is nothing important now. Didn't Gu Shen tell the boss a long time ago?"
"You don't understand. We should always show our presence and ourselves in front of the boss so that he can fully feel how hard we work. Didn't you see that the commissions have been higher in recent times?" The man in the flowered shirt glanced at him and kicked his chair away. "Stay away from me. Next time, eat the snail noodles squatting outside the door."
"You didn't say anything to me when I ate spicy hot pot before!" said the younger brother.
The man in the flowered shirt pinched his nose and asked, "Do spicy hot pot and river snail rice noodle taste the same?"
The computer screen showed all of Gu Zhengsong's recent movements. There were some things they couldn't find out, but the information from the boss seemed to be very thorough, and he always found the points they overlooked and corrected the direction of the investigation in time.
It is quite difficult to investigate the Gu family in Beijing. Not all of the information in the data was obtained through real-time investigation. Instead, following certain clues, an ambiguous but very real trajectory of action was gradually pieced together.
The boss was guessing what Gu Zhengsong was thinking and working out what actions the other party might take based on his thinking. From the moment they received the boss's commission, or from the moment they followed the boss's advice and sent out the first message, they had been weaving a big net, luring Gu Zhengsong into their trap step by step. Dog-eat-dog is a good strategy, but it takes a lot of thought to trick an old fox like Gu Zhengsong into such a trap.
So from the beginning, they didn't release much information. They were just some obscure and unnoticed intelligence lines, which made Gu Zhengsong feel confused and hesitant at first. Finally, they stepped on the key points of the timeline and deepened the authenticity of these clues little by little. The biggest driving force was Chen Shiming's counter-ambush at the gate of Chen Group and the step-by-step approach of Gu Zhengxun, the eldest son of the Gu family.
Gu Zhengsong's understanding of the reliability of the news was actually deepened by such "coincidences".
Hua Xianzi has been working in the intelligence field for many years. From the few words his boss says on the phone, he can basically judge that his boss should have other sources of information besides them.
These were not all from the intelligence lines of the man in the flowered shirt, but mainly from the boss's ideas and layout. He didn't know how the boss let Gu Zhengxun put so much pressure on Gu Zhengsong, nor did he know what was behind the police ambush outside the Chen Group, but these coincidences were probably the work of the boss.
Including tonight he received news that there were doctors coming in and out of the prison, which made him realize that Gu Zhengsong could no longer hold back and took action against Gu Shen.
The younger brother came over to look at the clues: "One escaped today. Gu Zhengsong's actions are really anxious."
"He has to be anxious. If Gu Shen really tells others about this, he will be finished." The man in the flowered shirt looked at the records on the computer screen. It was impossible for Gu Zhengsong to just send people to the prison to kill Gu Shen. He had made all the preparations. Not only did he want to put Gu Shen to death, but he also wanted to erode the remaining forces of Gu Shen outside.
Some time ago, Gu Zhengsong sent people to instigate Gu Shen's people to attack the Chen and Shen families. They disappeared and did nothing during this period because Gu Zhengsong planned to make Gu Shen's people his own, keeping those who could be used first and dealing with those who could not be used directly. Originally, there were still a few people left by Gu Shen in S City, but now these people have either sneaked back to the capital or have disappeared locally.
It was only by following this line that they were able to successfully understand Gu Zhengsong's recent actions. From the moment Gu Zhengsong planned to take action against Gu Shen, he wanted to clean up all traces of Gu Shen... and would not let any factors that threatened him surface.
But Gu Shen would not die, and the news that Gu Zhengsong wanted to kill him and erode his power soon reached Gu Shen's ears.
If you want two mad dogs to bite each other, the contradiction between them will only become more and more obvious... It is best to step on Gu Shen's bottom line that he cannot disobey.
"Shall we continue following?" the younger brother finished slurping the noodles.
"It doesn't really matter whether I follow or not. Now I just have to wait for Gu Shen's movement." The man in the flowered shirt stretched lazily, and caught a glimpse of his phone screen out of the corner of his eye, wondering, "What kind of nightlife is this? It's only what time is it now?"
In prison, Gu Shen rarely asked to see someone. The police remained vigilant but still agreed to Gu Shen's request. In order to pry something out of Gu Shen's mouth, they did a lot of things during this period of time. Even when they told him the fact that Gu Zhengsong had pushed the blame onto Gu Shen, Gu Shen remained silent and unmoved. In order to avoid exposing too much information, he simply refused to meet anyone.
It was not until tonight when Gu Shen was almost killed by two prisoners that he made such a request.
Gu Shen sat in the cold cubicle, his hands handcuffed tightly to the chair, staring at the glass wall in front of him.
His dark eyes were full of calculations, and his slightly long nails dug into the table, making short, sharp sounds.
"I can't get in touch with him." The police officer in charge of contact walked in. "Do you have anyone else to meet? The phone number you mentioned is not in service."
Gu Shen was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and soon he said coldly: "Impossible."
"Why would I lie to you? The number you provided is an empty number. We just checked and it has been cancelled. It is impossible to contact the person." The police officer knew that Gu Shen was suspicious. With the permission of his superior, he dialed the number in front of Gu Shen and played a ruthless female voice on the speaker of the mobile phone. "I said I didn't lie to you. Is there anyone else you want to see?"
Outside the glass wall, the captain of the police force who was keeping an eye on Gu Shen's condition asked, "Have you checked all the numbers and people he read out?"
"The numbers were all bought on the black market, and some of the ID cards on the back of the phones have nothing to do with this case. But there are a few numbers within our surveillance range, and they are the people that Gu Shen originally left behind. Two of them ambushed Chen Shiming some time ago and were arrested." The police officer continued, "And it's strange, these people have rarely shown up recently. Some went straight back to Beijing, and some went to completely unrelated cities in the south."
It was like he had completely given up on Gu Shen.
The captain looked through the glass wall, watching the criminal's expression change from calm at first to gradually becoming hesitant.
Ever since Gu Zhengsong started to accuse others of the crime, this person may have just realized that he is now isolated and helpless.
Gu Shen did not reply immediately. He paused cautiously and hesitantly for several minutes. When the police officer thought he was going to give up, he gave out two more numbers. However, when these numbers were dialed, either the other party rejected the call or the number was no longer in service. In the end, Gu Shen was unable to meet any of the people he wanted to see.
The police officer called two more unavailable numbers and said, "Do you have any other calls you want to make? We have limited time here, and we can't always arrange opportunities for you to meet people."
An incredible sense of absurdity gradually spread. Gu Shen stared at the phone. It was impossible... These contact numbers were all his secret lines. He could contact his people to find out the situation outside. If it wasn't for a special situation, he wouldn't think of making these calls...
But now none of these calls can be connected, unless all his arrangements outside have collapsed.
"You said before that Gu Zhengsong pushed all the blame onto me?" Gu Shen scratched the table with his nails, looking straight through the glass wall at the others, "How did he push the blame onto me?"
The police officer said nothing, and a voice came from the other side of the glass wall in the room.
"We've told you this before." The captain repeated, "He pushed all the charges on you. The ownership and industrial chain we found were all registered under your name. Gu Zhengsong has no direct charges."
Such remarks were a joke. Gu Shen had heard them several times. The first few times he had heard them were jokes from ignorant people, but now the joke seemed to have fallen on him. Gu Zhengsong did not want to save him. In order to protect himself, Gu Zhengsong not only shifted the blame, but also took action against his forces and finally wanted to kill him.
It was like he was going to wipe out everything. Gu Zhengsong wanted nothing and abandoned all his assets.
Gu Shen didn't say anything, and nearly fifteen minutes passed in silence.
The wound on his hand had opened again, blood was staining the table, and the handcuffs at his wrists were bleeding. Gu Shen's calm face showed a kind of metaphorical madness, "He really thought it through. If I die, everything can be concealed."
"Gu Shen?" the police officer asked.
Gu Shen looked up at him, his tone cold and indifferent: "There is a container warehouse near the port of the commercial district in City B..."
The birthday party was coming to an end. After celebrating, Zhang Yazhi was arranging for other guests to leave. She caught a glimpse of a few people with serious expressions in the distance. She did not go over to disturb them, but instructed the servants to collect and put away the gifts brought by the guests.
Chen Shiming received the news from the police and was communicating with them: "Okay, I will make time to go there tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, he told others: "The prisoner didn't reveal any information, but someone went to visit him two days before the incident, and their family's account has recently received a large amount of money."
Everything was just as Chen Qizhao said, Gu Zhengsong wanted to kill Gu Shen.
It perfectly matched a certain speculation and also made things move in a strange direction.
"Gu Shen seems to have loosened up a bit. The police haven't revealed much. I'll go there tomorrow." Chen Shiming finished speaking and looked at the housekeeper beside him. "Are there any other security issues in the villa today?"
The housekeeper immediately said, "No, don't worry, young master."
Gu Zhengsong has obviously focused his attention on Gu Shen and has not taken any risks to attack them recently. This is good news.
Chen Jianhong looked at Father Shen next to him: “It seems that he is worried that Gu Shen will say something he shouldn’t say.”
"But after being forced by him, Gu Shen knew that he could not save himself. But I am surprised that Gu Shen was not afraid of death, but he gave in after Gu Zhengsong sent someone to do this." Shen Xuelan commented: "There is no love between this father and son. One is more cruel than the other. Both want to kill the person."
Gu Shen is not afraid of death, but a proud man like him will not allow anything to go beyond his calculations.
If he found out that Gu Zhengsong was plotting against him and wanted to kill him, given Gu Shen's character, he would not just sit there and wait for death, but would more likely drag Gu Zhengsong down with him.
Thinking of this, Chen Shiming looked at Special Assistant Xu beside him and said, "Blank your schedule for tomorrow morning... Also, where is the Second Young Master? I asked you to go find him, where is he?"
Special Assistant Xu had just returned and was ordered by his superior to do something else. He forgot to report this matter and said, "The Second Young Master is resting in the room."
After he finished speaking, he thought about the last action of locking the door and said, "Maybe he doesn't want us to disturb him."
Chen Shiming looked away and happened to see Shen Xuelan talking on the phone.
The other party dialed for a while and then hung up the phone, as if the call didn't go through.
"What's wrong?" Chen Shiming asked.
Shen Xuelan lowered her eyes and operated her phone, her tone relaxed: "I called my brother, but it didn't go through. Don't worry about him. I just saw Yan Kaiqi was still there. It's possible that he left with Yan Kaiqi first."
Zhang Yazhi came over and heard Shen Xuelan say, "Yu Huai didn't leave with Kai Qi. Kai Qi just drove away with Kai Lin and a few friends, and Yu Huai didn't go with him."
"I've contacted the security, and they said they didn't see Mr. Shen leave, so he should still be here." The housekeeper ended the call. There were people watching the guests coming in and out tonight, and if Shen Yuhuai left, the housekeeper would also receive the news.
Most of the guests have left. If someone was here, it is impossible that he didn't see it.
Shen Xuelan paused and called again, but no one answered.
Afterwards, she called the driver again, and the other party said that Shen Yuhuai didn't go there.
Special Assistant Xu added: "Mr. Shen should go to rest..."
He suddenly stopped halfway through his speech, thought of what the servant had said not long ago, and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Where are we going to rest?" Chen Shiming tilted his head to look at him. Now is different from before. The situation is special. If one person from the Chen family or the Shen family is missing, it will be a serious matter.
Assistant Xu thought he had made a mistake, and said, "I heard from the servants before that Mr. Shen's clothes were stained, and he should have gone to the lounge to change clothes, but when I went upstairs, I didn't see Mr. Shen, and the second young master said he was resting..."
He was just about to say that maybe Shen Yuhuai wasn't there and should have gone downstairs, when he saw everyone around him looking at him.
……Um? Something seemed wrong, he didn't see Mr. Shen coming downstairs!
Shen Xuelan's beautiful eyes moved, and she flicked her finger to turn off the phone screen. "Is that so? Is Chen Qizhao the only one in the room?"
…
In the dim room, the bedside lamp was turned on. Chen Qizhao slightly bent his toes and felt refreshed.
He didn't feel anything at first, but as soon as it passed, the tingling sensation from his bones made him feel sleepy.
The two of them didn't make it to the end as the incident happened suddenly and the room was not equipped with the necessary things.
Moreover, the timing was not right. It was the first time that Chen Qizhao felt this kind of stimulation. After it was over, he felt itchy and had a sense of loss that he was not satisfied. He wanted to smoke a cigarette.
But he had no cigarettes with him at the moment, and he didn't dare to smoke in front of Shen Yuhuai.
Shen Yuhuai picked up the clothes on the ground with his back bare. Some of the clothes were indeed unwearable. His wide, tightened back revealed his unknown good figure. Chen Qizhao followed him with his eyes, watching his movements, and then watched him enter the bathroom.
After a while, the sound of dripping water came from the bathroom. Chen Qizhao stretched out his fingers and felt a tingling sensation at his wrist. He reached out to pick up the phone that had fallen to the ground. The jade ornament dangling around his neck hit his clavicle. This was the jade that Shen Yuhuai had just put on him. It was his birthday gift.
The jade is of very good quality. When you rub it with your fingertips, you can feel the carved patterns, which seem to be some kind of animal shape, and the rope is red.
There were a lot of missed calls and chat messages accumulated in the phone. Chen Qizhao glanced at it and threw it aside. The noise outside became smaller. It should be the end of the birthday party and the guests left.
A feeling of dissatisfaction that he had to end early was getting heavier. Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes and thought about things. He wondered if the nearest convenience store outside was open, and he also thought about going out with Shen Yuhuai later. He walked to the bathroom door barefoot, wearing the loose pajamas that Shen Yuhuai had put on him, and the trousers he found seemed to be too big for him to buy before, and they dragged on the ground as he walked.
On the way, he picked up Shen Yuhuai's cell phone that had fallen to the ground.
The screen lit up and I saw several missed calls and the signatures of the missed calls.
"It seems your sister called you several times." Chen Qizhao said.
In the bathroom, Shen Yuhuai's brief response came.
Chen Qizhao turned on the light in the room, and the dim room became bright, and he could also see the mess on the floor. He took a quick look, opened the door, and was about to see what was going on outside.
Just as he opened the door a crack, he suddenly saw half of a suit and black trousers appearing in the crack.
Chen Qizhao paused, looked up and saw Chen Shiming standing at the door with his hand slightly raised, as if preparing to knock on the door.
Inside and outside the room, Chen Shiming's sight stopped at Chen Qizhao's naked upper body, seeing the eye-catching jade on his neck, and at the same level, the other person's hand pressing on the door panel and the mobile phone in a transparent case in his hand.
When their eyes met, silence instantly spread.
Chen Shiming's eyes moved, and he followed the jade to see the mark on the collarbone.
Those marks are especially noticeable on fair skin.
Finally he heard the distinct sound of a door opening in the room.
It seemed like someone walked out of the bathroom door.
The next second, the door in front of him slammed shut.
