Chapter 70 His Sins in His Previous Life
"Although he doesn't want you to know, but as of now..." Even an outsider like him finds it difficult to speak at this moment, "Gu Yanxing's death may be related to you."
"!"
Hearing this, Qi Yan's face showed a look of horror, and his heart suddenly tightened. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Go on."
Gu Yanxing’s death, could it be... related to him?
Gu Yanxing has always been cautious and good at disguise. After all, when facing a ruthless person like Yi Hongli, he would easily implicate the people around him if he is not careful.
His whereabouts had always been well hidden, but when he was talking to Qi Yan on the phone before his death, he had revealed that he had been discovered by Yi Hongli, so he cut off contact with Qi Yan.
But that was just the beginning. In order to force him to hand over the information he had already investigated, Yi Hongli used all means possible. Qi Yan and Zhang Hengyi had already investigated part of the truth. Half a month before the car accident, Gu Yanxing was arrested for fighting. After he was released, he fell in the alley covered in blood and was sent to the hospital by passers-by...
"For people in his line of work, it's very fatal to have their whereabouts exposed." Lao Wang said while smoking a cigarette. People who walk in the gray area are too dangerous. "There are countless people who want him dead. Yi Hongli only needs to make a few moves, without having to do anything himself, and he can make him disappear."
Lao Wang asked them to look at the information cracked on the computer by themselves. Based on the clues left by Gu Yanxing and the things Zhang Hengyi received this morning, he asked, "Qi Yan, are you still being monitored by Yi Hongli?"
He didn't say everything. There were only three people who could have kept in touch with Gu Yanxing. The other two were policemen who had nothing to do with the matter and were official personnel from other regions. Yi Hongli couldn't find them at all, so only Qi Yan was left.
Qi Yan repeatedly recalled every inch of his memory from the past: "No. Since I was eighteen, I have been out of his surveillance. I am usually in the bar. You know, Brother Xu has many friends in his bar, and they are very good at counter-reconnaissance. If someone was monitoring me, they would have been discovered long ago."
His fingers couldn't help but tremble. He took out a cigarette and tried to calm himself down with nicotine. However, the large amount of information that entered his eyes made Qi Yan more suspicious of himself. He was worried that it was his carelessness that killed Gu Yanxing. The thoughts that emerged were tormenting him, and guilt and self-blame followed him like a shadow...
Zhang Hengyi also said: "Even if someone is monitoring us, it is impossible for them to find Gu Yanxing, right? He is the best at disguise. Every time he meets Qi Yan, he disguises himself..."
"Tap tap." Lao Wang tapped the keyboard twice, and a photo appeared on the computer screen. The shooting angle was a bit strange, it was taken secretly from a gap. In the photo, Gu Yanxing was standing in the bathroom, arguing with someone who was not in the photo. His lower body was wearing black suit pants, and his upper body was wearing a cleaner's top...
When Qi Yan saw this photo, he suddenly leaned over and stared at the photo. Although he was usually calm enough, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave at this moment. He froze in place and couldn't recover for a long time!
He recognized it at a glance. This was at Yi Yang's wedding!
On the other side that the camera didn’t secretly capture, the person arguing with Gu Yanxing was him.
So it was at that time that Gu Yanxing was exposed in front of Yi Hongli?
"Hello? Did you catch him? Okay, take him to the fourth floor. Room 414 is also my territory. I'll bring them both down now."
Lao Wang hung up the phone, looked at the man who was frozen in place, and said slowly: "Lao Xu has caught the person who was monitoring you. Do you want to go and see?"
There is a certain degree of fear. I dare not face the facts, as if taking one more step forward would lead to hell.
…
"I was just paid to do the job! I didn't do anything, and I didn't leak any privacy!"
"Ah, don't be violent! This is against the law! I'm telling you, I'm telling you! I did follow you for almost half a year, but I really didn't do anything except take a photo once in a while."
"Aren't you related to my employer? He has no other requirements. He doesn't care what you do or where you go. He gives me a piece of paper. As long as the target person, that is, you, do not violate the regulations on the paper, he doesn't care about anything else."
"This photo? Ah, I took it, but I didn't have any bad intentions! I just wanted to take a photo of someone who might have an ambiguous relationship with the target person to avoid the employer wanting it later. After all, some employers have serious obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I'm worried that he will change his mind."
"But how did this photo end up in your hands? I remember that the wedding was a bit chaotic, and I couldn't find the person who caused the trouble. My employer even sent someone to find me and ask if I had taken photos of anyone who looked strange. I thought I could make some extra money, so I gave away this photo and the others..."
"Ahhh, didn't you say you wouldn't fight anymore?!"
The person who was tracking and monitoring was an old hand. He was not only highly skilled, but also good at disguise. In addition, the monitoring of Qi Yan was quite casual, and it was enough for Qi Yan not to violate the rules on white paper. So he would occasionally take a photo and collect them, not caring what Qi Yan did at all. This method of surveillance would certainly not attract the attention of others...
After hearing these words, Qi Yan couldn't help feeling heavy-hearted, and even his hands and feet became cold. He stared at every rule and every word on the paper. He was extremely familiar with them and had memorized them by heart. He had never paid too much attention to them and just did as he was told.
But at this moment, Qi Yan's feelings changed completely. His vision gradually became blurred, and he felt dizzy. A heavy sense of guilt fell completely on him, almost crushing him. The overwhelming fear and regret drowned Qi Yan.
Every word seemed to become real, like a sharp blade piercing straight through his heart, or like a chain wrapping around him, strangling him tightly and forcing him to suffocate to death.
——"If something unexpected happens, it will be a big loss."
Zhang Hengyi’s previous warning kept circling in his mind. How did he respond at that time?
Qi Yan kept patting his head hard, and suddenly remembered that he didn't say anything, but only thought in his heart: "No matter what happens, I can take responsibility myself..."
Are you responsible?
Qi Yan looked at the information in his hand with empty eyes, and scenes of his interactions with Gu Yanxing and Chen Xiliu flashed through his mind. He couldn't be responsible at all, because the price was Gu Yanxing's life. Why should he be responsible?
There is really no free lunch in the world. The 20 million, no, it should be added to the initial 10 million, a total of 30 million is Gu Yanxing's life-saving money.
Shen Xiliu didn't trust him from the beginning, so he arranged for people to monitor Qi Yan's every move to prevent Qi Yan from violating the contract when he couldn't see.
Perhaps, from the moment he signed the contract, he was destined to reveal his whereabouts and had one foot in a cruel hell.
Gu Yanxing hid himself very well. If he hadn't appeared and revealed Gu Yanxing's whereabouts, causing Yi Hongli to know Gu Yanxing's whereabouts, he would definitely... not have suffered so much pain, and would not have embarked on this road of no return...
So, Gu Yanxing was killed by him, and he was actually the one who was wrong.
“This matter…” Qi Yan staggered two steps, his body swaying slightly. Without waiting for others to help him, he wiped off the dripping scarlet blood and spoke with difficulty, “I’m fine. Don’t let Jiang Yuqing know about this matter for now.”
Every word was extremely depressing. The deep sense of guilt was like a raging torrent, sweeping him into the painful abyss of regret and despair. It was impossible not to be in pain and not to blame himself.
"When I find the opportunity, I will tell him in person."
Gu Yanxing died because of him, and this matter cannot be hidden from Jiang Yuqing. But at least I can’t tell you now. I can’t stimulate the pregnant omega and I can’t let him get hurt again…
Qi Yan kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm down. He didn't dare to speak anymore. His throat was blocked, dry and painful. He couldn't even make a sound, as if he was being strangled by an invisible hand. The psychological pain even covered up the tingling pain in the glands at the back of the neck, and alpha hormones began to leak out indiscriminately, full of aggressiveness.
Before disturbing others, Qi Yan reacted and rushed to the bathroom. He splashed cold water on his face, washing away the scarlet blood. His shoulders trembled violently, tears blurred his vision, and he merged into the water...
It took him a long time to regulate his emotions. It was not until Zhang Heng bought the alpha-secreting hormone inhibitor that he was able to suppress the pain brought to his body and mind.
"That person didn't tell you that he would hire someone to monitor you, right?" Zhang Heng was silent for a long time before he spoke.
Qi Yan didn't say anything. If Shen Xiliu had said from the beginning that he would send someone to monitor him, he would never sign this contract.
"Please take me to the bank first, thank you."
"what you up to?"
“…”
Qi Yan looked at the scene outside the car window, what did he want to do? He can't do anything.
All you can do is do what you need to do.
His life was becoming more and more absurd. Sometimes he wished he could die right now. Perhaps the person who drove the car to hit Yi Hongli and Song Yili should not be Gu Yanxing, but him.
Ah, my head hurts so much. After all this trouble for so long, he only made the situation worse and killed a friend. He is such a troublemaker...
After transferring all the money into the card that Gu Yanxing secretly applied for Jiang Yuqing in his memory and returning to the familiar bar, Qi Yan finally got a chance to catch his breath.
Friends noticed that Qi Yan’s mental state was not very good. They did not ask him what was wrong, but just accompanied him to drink several bottles of wine.
"Brother Qi, I heard that there will be a big bartender competition in the neighboring province next month. Are you going to participate?" someone asked.
"Well, just take it as a place to relax."
By then, the contract will be completely over and I can stay away from Shen Xiliu.
Ye Chengcheng asked him for some guidance, and Qi Yan taught him how to adjust it with a smile as always. On the surface, it looked no different from the past, but when he started to demonstrate.
It was rare that Qi Yan made a mistake for the first time.
The glass slipped from his fingertips, and with a crisp "pop" sound, the transparent cup burst into pieces, and sharp glass fragments flew everywhere.
What followed was that the glass door of the bar was pushed open and Yi Yang came in. It was a very unlucky sign.
So much happens in one day.
Yi Yang was always so stupid and liked to do wrong things impulsively, that's why his mother Song Yili had been secretly targeting Qi Yan for many years, determined to make sure that he couldn't get up and even go to college, and could only wander around like a gangster to feel at ease.
After all, no one knew Yi Hongli's nature better than Song Yili.
If Qi Yan performs too well, perhaps that person will take Qi Yan home sooner or later. By then, there will be no place for Yi Yang in the Yi family anymore.
But now, Song Yili is dead, and Yi Yang finally found an opportunity to take revenge on Qi Yan.
It's just that he was too stupid and didn't know the background of the people in the bar, and the people he brought were not enough to fight.
If Shen Xiangting hadn't called Shen Xiliu for help, perhaps it would not be Qi Yan who would be crippled tonight, but him.
Is there anything surprising about Qi Yan?
No.
It’s just a pity that he didn’t seize the time and cripple Yi Yang before Shen Xiliu arrived.
