[Sorry, I... am back.] 】
When Fang Ziyang received the message from Shi Liangchen, his expression suddenly changed.
This piece of information may not seem strange to others, but in his eyes, it is enough to cause a huge storm and he understands the hidden meaning.
If...if he understood correctly, does this message mean that Shi Liangchen was also reborn?
Otherwise, why would the other party use the words "Sorry, I'm back"?
Although it has not been confirmed in person yet.
But Fang Ziyang was 90% sure of his guess.
The reason is very simple. Shi Meijing was directly ruined this time. With Shi Liangchen's love for his sister, it is absolutely impossible for her to accept the reality easily. She will be very angry and will not let go of the case. She will make a big deal out of it and find the robber who committed the crime to avenge her sister.
They might even feel resentful towards him because of it. After all, on the surface, Shi Meijing was murdered by the robbers, and he had to bear some of the blame.
But although Shi Liangchen looked very sad now, he did not do anything that would show that a family member lost control of his emotions. She didn't mean to blame him. His generosity and calmness were totally unlike Shi Liangchen's character who loved his sister.
And now, with this text message from Ye Shi Liangchen, perhaps everything can be explained.
Because he was reborn, and before his rebirth he saw the true vicious and selfish face of Shi Meijing, that's why Shi Liangchen is so calm about his sister's experience.
I have something important to tell him...
Fang Ziyang was in a very confused and irritable mood. He didn't want to see Shi Liangchen from his previous life again, but reason told him that he had to meet him.
It's not that he missed anything, but he needed to make sure whether the other party was an enemy or a friend now. Shi Liangchen's sudden rebirth disrupted his previous plan, and he couldn't let such an accident get out of his control.
He has come this far and will soon fulfill his wish for revenge, so he absolutely cannot fail miserably again.
After careful consideration.
Fang Ziyang decided to go for the appointment anyway and replied to the text message to arrange a meeting place.
Considering that the content of the conversation might very likely involve rebirth, Fang Ziyang did not simply meet at a coffee shop outside this time, but instead set the venue in the Crown Club.
Xie Zheng has a private room in the Crown Club. With the security work of the Crown Club, conversations in the private room here are the safest.
In order to prevent being monitored, he even made the jamming equipment himself before leaving.
Only after everything was ready did Fang Ziyang go to the appointment.
"Zi Yang..."
As soon as Shi Liangchen saw him, he stood up from the sofa in the private room eagerly, his expression excited and full of suppressed pain.
Just this one glance.
Fang Ziyang was able to confirm that Shi Liangchen was indeed reborn at this moment. After all, he had been a partner with this man for nearly ten years, and he was very familiar with Shi Liangchen's every move.
Even though he had thought about clearing all grudges with the other party because this man paid off his debt with his death in his previous life, when Shi Liangchen still chose to accept Yan Tong's deal in this life, he could no longer have any sympathy for Shi Liangchen.
It is difficult to change one's nature. They can no longer be friends, and he will never forgive each other again.
"If you have something to say, just say it directly. But if you want to say sorry or regret something like that, then there is no need for us to continue talking today..."
Fang Ziyang sat down calmly, his eyes cold, not trying to hide his attitude of keeping people at a distance.
This one sentence blocked most of what Shi Liangchen wanted to say.
"I... yes, you have every right to hate me. This is all my own fault."
Shi Liangchen's face was full of bitterness, and it was as if he had bitten a bitter gallbladder in his mouth, and the bitter juice almost soaked every part of his body.
He didn't expect that he would get the chance to be reborn, and thought it was the luck given to him by God. However, when he knew the time of his rebirth, he realized that it was just the continued punishment from God.
He owed Zi Yang so much, so much that he was unable to pay it back even after paying it back in his previous life.
Take a deep breath.
Shi Liangchen tried hard to suppress the bitterness in his heart and said,
"Zi Yang, I know you will never forgive me again. I took the wrong path in my last life. You gave me a chance in this life, but I still didn't seize it. You have the right to hate me, and I am not worthy of your forgiveness, but I hope you will give me a chance to atone for my sins. Can we work together again?"
"Do you think I will trust you again?"
Fang Ziyang raised his eyes and looked sarcastically at the person in front of him, the partner he once trusted most, the partner who completely destroyed all his hopes.
"Shi Liangchen, since you have also been reborn, let me ask you, will you believe in Shi Meijing again?"
Won't.
Of course not.
Shi Liangchen's face was pale. Just as he hated Shi Meijing, Fang Ziyang hated him in the same way. Zi Yang had suffered more in his previous life than him, but he was still unable to be magnanimous. How could Zi Yang possibly trust him again?
But no.
He must cooperate with Zi Yang, not only to atone for his sins, but also because only if they cooperate can they achieve a perfect victory.
Shi Liangchen swallowed the blood in his mouth, his voice was hoarse.
"What if I say...I didn't die when I escaped from the cruise ship in my previous life?"
"What do you mean?"
Fang Ziyang's body trembled and his emotions fluctuated suddenly.
Shi Liangchen closed his eyes, covered his head with his hands, and cried in pain.
"I'm not dead. I thought I was dead at the time, but God let me survive. After you escaped, the cruise ship crew threw my 'body' into the sea, but at the time I was only seriously injured and unconscious, which caused a temporary cardiac arrest. After being thrown into the water, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I regained consciousness and was rescued by a passing fishing boat."
"I thought about looking for you right away, but when I woke up from the hospital and tried to contact you, I got the news that you had committed suicide by jumping off a building. The photo showed blood all over the floor..."
And those eyes that refuse to close.
He almost completely collapsed.
He had made all the arrangements well. As long as Zi Yang was rescued, they could go abroad immediately.
He didn't want to care about Shi Meiji anymore, and didn't want to care about his parents' instructions anymore. He had already given so much to Shi Meiji, and he wanted to live for himself. He can start over with Zi Yang, even if Zi Yang no longer considers him a friend and does not like him, as long as he can be with Zi Yang in the future, he will be satisfied.
But he never expected that Shi Meijing would reveal his whereabouts and ruin everything.
What he didn't expect was that when he heard news about Fang Ziyang again, it was the news of his death.
He committed suicide by jumping off a building, with blood splattered all over the ground.
"I know you can't commit suicide, I..."
Fang Ziyang interrupted, "No, I jumped down by myself."
Shi Liangchen looked up in disbelief.
Fang Ziyang's face was calm, and his tone was as if he was telling someone else's story, "I didn't escape, they found me and brought a lot of people here. Mor wanted to turn me into a plaything to vent his anger on Yan Tong, and he would not stop until he achieved his goal. Jumping down is my only way to survive, at least I can die cleanly."
"And all of this was caused by you. If it weren't for your betrayal, I would have won the championship and received the protection of the country. Why would you have to save me?"
Like a sharp knife piercing the heart.
Shi Liangchen was staggering, his body was cold, and he was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe.
Fang Ziyang showed a poppy smile, "Shi Liangchen, I have been living in hell, what qualifications do you have to be redeemed?"
Shi Liangchen's face turned pale and his heart felt like it was being crushed inch by inch.
Fang Ziyang saw his expression and felt no sympathy or pity. Whether it was Xie Wenxu or Shi Liangchen's regret and apology, it was only because of their own conscience and pain, and they wanted to seek redemption.
If these people were able to be so cruel to him in the first place, why should he be so generous as to give them hope of redemption?
He is not a saint. These people should enjoy the fruits of their own labor. There is no medicine for regret in the world, even if they are reborn.
"Shi Liangchen, if you really know how much I hate you and if you really regret it, then please don't look for redemption or comfort from me, or expect anything. You will only make me despise you even more..."
Fang Ziyang looked at the person opposite him quietly.
There was no trace of blood on Shi Liangchen's face.
He smiled bitterly, gave up the last hope of redemption, and spoke with difficulty after a long time.
"He's right. I don't deserve to like you. The fact that I'm still alive is just a punishment from God."
"Him?" Fang Ziyang's eyes moved.
Shi Liangchen took out his phone, tapped his finger a few times, and sent a photo of the sketch to Fang Ziyang's WeChat.
"Zi Yang, even if you don't want to give me a chance to atone for my sins, there are some things I still have to do. Please trust me again, even if it's for the people in this sketch."
The photo Shi Liangchen sent over was a hand-drawn sketch.
The sketching technique is not at the master level, but it is pretty good. The sketch shows a man sitting in a wheelchair. He is tall, but his face cannot be seen.
Because the other person's entire face was disfigured, the only thing that could be seen clearly was the man's sharp and deep eyes. However, judging from his overall temperament, the man should have been an emperor standing at the top of the pyramid.
And some familiarity.
Fang Ziyang asked, "Who is he?"
"I have no idea."
Shi Liangchen shook his head. "I only know that he gave everything to help you get revenge. Although the process and the ending were tragic, he did succeed in the end."
"When I first learned about your death, I was in great pain. During the time I was recovering from my injuries, I found out a lot of things..."
"I really thought you were an arrogant, overbearing, and messy rich second-generation. After all, if you weren't that bad, why would even your biological father, brother, and uncle dislike you and drive you out of the house without paying any attention to you? But it wasn't until later that I realized that there really are such cold and disgusting relatives in this world."
"I have found out everything about your family, about Yan Tong drugging you, and all the negative information on the Internet. And Shi Meijing... She never treated me as a brother from the beginning to the end. She always thought that her parents died because they saved me, so my parents and I should do what we did for her. Even my parents' death was caused by her. I am a complete fool."
Whenever he thought of the truths he knew in his previous life, Shi Liangchen wished he could eat him alive.
"Originally, I wanted to avenge you after I was discharged from the hospital, but I was alone and weak, and the people around Yan Tong were too powerful. I couldn't do anything alone..."
"It was at this time that the man in the wheelchair found me. He had great power and financial resources, but it was inconvenient for him to show up. I became his spokesperson for outside actions."
"He successfully disintegrated Yan Tong's people, but the result was proportional to the tragic price he paid..."
At this point, Shi Liangchen choked up and looked at Fang Ziyang.
"Zi Yang, I know my words are weak and I don't know how to make you believe me again. But every word I say now is really true."
"Although you have done a lot now, I also believe that you have the ability to kill Yan Tong directly. But with your current ability, you can't deal with Moore. Even without Yan Tong, Moore will still target you. You should know how crazy the James family is for their own interests..."
"That man was so powerful back then, but he paid a heavy price to eliminate those people. Now please let me help you, so that we can succeed at the lowest cost."
"Just think of it as saving the man in the sketch. He became like this because of you. He is the only one who truly loves you and gave everything to help you get revenge... So, can you bear to see him fall victim to the murderous hands of Moore and his men in the future and become a half-human, half-ghost?"
"I admit that I am mean and I am taking advantage of your softness, but Ziyang... we have the opportunity to change a lot of things now, don't we?"
Shi Liangchen smiled with difficulty.
As long as Zi Yang is willing to let him help him, he doesn't mind being a despicable person.
This was the only thing he could do for Zi Yang.
Fang Ziyang looked at the sketch photo on his phone thoughtfully.
a long time.
He raised his head and said, "Although your words annoy me, I have to say that the sketch you produced really convinced me. Start preparing tomorrow, and I will arrange for you to go abroad next month."
Although he still couldn't trust Shi Liangchen, he could still use him.
It is indeed a pity to abandon Shi Liangchen after his rebirth.
Finally hearing the answer he wanted, Shi Liangchen showed a smile from the bottom of his heart, sad and satisfied.
Even if he is just a chess piece, as long as he needs him, his rebirth will be meaningful.
"Zi Yang, if...if I had never lied to you, would you like me? Not just as a good friend."
"No. Because there are no ifs."
The clear voice echoed in the box.
Shi Liangchen sat on the sofa and finally couldn't hold back his tears.
He hates.
Hate myself for being so stupid.
Because of his stupidity.
He is not qualified.
…
The other end.
After Fang Ziyang walked out of the private room, he could no longer maintain his cold expression.
Then I rushed to the nearest restroom as fast as I could and locked the cubicle. I could no longer maintain my composure and cried silently with my hands covering my mouth.
He really couldn't keep his sanity anymore.
The photo that Shi Liangchen took out, if, if the sense of familiarity was correct, the disfigured man in the wheelchair in the photo was most likely Xie Zheng.
A problem that has been bothering me for a long time may finally be figured out.
When I first read the Golden Book, almost all the plots had reasonable explanations, but there was only one problem that didn't make sense, which was the description in the plot: after his death, a foreign tycoon appeared under the title of his "one-night stand" to help him get revenge...
Although after he recognized his brother, he guessed that the so-called foreign tycoon was Rick, and Rick came back for revenge probably because he knew that he was Tang Xun's biological brother.
But although this logic makes sense, there is one thing that cannot be explained, that is, why did Rick appear with the title of "one-night stand partner"? Given Rick's love for his brother, how could he allow himself to bear such a ridiculous title?
But if... Xie Zheng didn't die in the car accident, then everything would make sense.
It was Xie Zheng who helped him take revenge from beginning to end. Rick and Shi Liangchen were both sent out as spokespersons because Xie Zheng was unable to show up.
Although he didn't know what happened after his death in his previous life, how Xie Zheng avenged him, and how tragic Shi Liangchen's description was.
But in the plot, Rick failed and died in the end, and Shi Liangchen also died before he could be reborn. You can imagine the result...
Although the sketch shows him sitting in a wheelchair with his face disfigured and his original appearance unrecognizable, his figure and temperament are 100% similar to Xie Zheng.
There will be no one else except Xie Zheng.
Fang Ziyang couldn't describe his feelings at the moment, he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
At this moment, he truly felt that he was not abandoned by everyone. Whether in the previous life or this life, there are people who truly love him and treat him well.
He has a brother, Xie Zheng, and maybe Goffrick too?
He didn't know how long he stayed in the bathroom. Only after his emotions calmed down could he no longer control himself and called Xie Zheng.
"Hello?"
The phone was connected, and the man's deep and magnetic voice came out.
It sounds really nice. Fang Ziyang couldn't help but laugh while shedding tears, his voice was heavily nasal, "Xie Big Brother, I missed you..."
The other end of the phone.
Xie Zheng's ears turned red again: My wife always likes to act like a spoiled child, she's so... so cute.
