Chapter 144 I Can't Get Over That Hurdle
It was a day later that Yu Chengbai returned to the capital. He was not in a hurry along the way and did not even call the capital to ask for someone to intercept him.
Because he knew very well that he couldn't stop Ning Yan, and he would try every possible way to go abroad and then go to Continent M to find Shi Ming and the others.
In fact, Ning Yan must really want to kill him now.
Not only Ning Yan, Gu Jiujing must have wanted it too.
After landing in Beijing, Yu Chengbai did not return to the Yu family, but went to the Gu family first.
As expected, Shi Ming and Gu Jiujing were not there. They all went to Continent M. Shi Ming and Yu Lilin let Gu Chenyu and others go first, and Gu Jiujing was three days late.
The forces in Continent M are so complicated that it takes a lot of time to find someone. If he goes there three days late, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack for Gu Jiujing.
Yu Chengbai had guessed all this long ago.
The only thing that surprised him was that Gu Chenyu knew they were leaving, but did not tell Gu Jiujing, but chose to rebel with them.
This is very unlike the young master of the Gu family in Yu Chengbai's memory, who behaves according to the rules and never breaks the rules.
"Hello?"
After being turned off for more than half a month, the mobile phone was finally turned on and soon received a call from Gu Jiujing from abroad.
Yu Chengbai was not panicked. He held the green fishing rod that Gu Jiujing often held in his hand, sat on the terrace in front of the fish pond, and slowly learned to fish like him.
He wore a smile, his tone gentle, as if he hadn't done anything outrageous. He softly asked the silent man opposite him, "How's it going? How's my management of Continent M for you? Not just Continent M, but also South Africa and the North Continent. Give me a little more time, and I can help you gain enough say, if you need it."
"..." Gu Jiujing didn't say anything. His expression was gloomier and more terrifying than ever before. His eyes were bloodshot from not sleeping for several days.
He was now in Ilok Manor, with servants standing nearby with their heads bowed.
Even if I knew who was on the other end of the phone, I wouldn't dare speak.
Yu Chengbai could clearly sense his emotional ups and downs. His heart was agitated, but he just smiled softly and asked him, "Have you found Xiaoshi?"
"No." Gu Jiujing's tone was frighteningly calm, "But if I find Ning Yan first, I can leave you an intact body."
Yu Chengbai was not annoyed, but just smiled and asked him: "Does Shi Ming agree?"
"If I can make you and Ning Yan lose their memories, I have a way to make him forget."
"No." Yu Chengbai smiled and said firmly, "You can't bear to do it, and you don't dare to do it. You can't do anything to him."
“…”
Pop.
Yu Chengbai sat upright, unmoved, guessing that one of his antique ornaments must have been broken.
Gu Jiujing usually remains calm and composed, as if he would not change his expression even if the sky was falling. However, when he gets really angry, he will throw anything he can get his hands on.
Never consider whether you will lose your composure or be embarrassed.
They had known each other for more than 20 years without any unpleasantness, and had never even said harsh words to each other.
Yu Chengbai is kind and benevolent, but he never judges whether Gu Jiujing's actions are right or wrong. No matter how scheming Gu Jiujing is, he still gives Yu Chengbai some face and room to do good.
During the years when Gu Jiujing was at his most powerful and did whatever he wanted, everyone in the capital knew that if they wanted to beg for mercy from Gu Jiujing, they had to go to Yu Chengbai.
First, Yu Chengbai is kind and kind;
Second, Gu Jiujing tolerates Yu Chengbai's kindness;
At this moment, the two best friends who trusted each other the most were entering each other's homes as if they were in an empty house, one fishing and the other throwing things.
But what they talked about was how to kill each other's lover.
"What about you?" Gu Jiujing said coldly, "When you induced Shi Ming to go to Continent M, did you ever think that Ning Yan would agree? Not only Shi Ming left, but also your brother Yu Li. I don't believe you don't know this."
"I know, but I feel relieved that your brother is with him."
"..." After a while, Gu Jiujing seemed to take a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "You are crazy."
"When you first plotted against me, didn't you guess that I would go crazy?"
Yu Chengbai's tone was so gentle that there wasn't even a hint of questioning in it. It was like a casual chat between friends. He weighed the fishing rod in his hand and said with a smile, "Actually, I've been willing to stay in Continent M all these years. I'm willing to accompany you to realize your ambitions, but I don't have your ambitions. I think protecting the people I care about is enough."
"I know Ning Yan has other intentions in approaching me. I also know that he has been deeply hurt since we parted in the jungle that year. Ilok Manor is full of traps and surveillance cameras."
"I didn't know what he wanted from me, but I always knew he wanted to kill me."
"He's not a kind person, I know that. He's not a simple person either, I know that too. He brought Beibei to marry me because he wanted to kill me and then take over all the power I had for his own use. I know all of that."
"Then you decided to indulge him, right?" Gu Jiujing interrupted him coldly.
Yu Chengbai didn't deny it. He nodded and said to Gu Jiujing with a smile, "Actually, I'm very happy that you met Shi Ming. Now that I'm telling you this, you can understand me better, instead of being so high and mighty as before, asking me with a puzzled look what kind of magic potion I was fed."
Gu Jiujing frowned and was silent for a long time before saying, "That's different."
"What's the difference? If you really felt it was different, you, who always seek revenge, would be waiting in the capital for my return to exact your revenge on me, instead of chasing me out of the country without caring about anything. Jiujing, I guess you've never been as panicked as you are now, right?"
"You are taking revenge on me." Gu Jiujing said calmly.
"No." Yu Chengbai looked at the fish in the pond, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly, "I just want you to understand how I worried about him and how I couldn't sleep all these years in Continent M."
"Ning Yan grew up in Continent M, but Shi Ming didn't."
"So? He deserves to stay in Continent M for the rest of his life? He deserves to be used by others?" Yu Chengbai paused, then suddenly asked, "When Ning Yan and I disappeared in the jungle, you asked Organization 735 to search for us. Was that intentional?"
"no."
"I don't believe it."
"I have no reason to harm him." Gu Jiujing said.
"Really?" Yu Chengbai said with a smile, "But don't you know very well that if he went to Continent M, I would definitely follow him?"
"I have no idea."
"Okay, you didn't know." Yu Chengbai continued, "Then I should have told you that he is my brother, didn't you know that?"
Gu Jiujing showed no remorse at all. Instead, he remained calm and even asked him as if it was a matter of course: "So? What does it matter? Is it important?"
“…”
"You can't get over that hurdle. I'll help you. Haven't you been happy these past few months in Yiluoke? Haven't you been happy these past half a month in Jiangcheng? Aren't you happy?"
Yu Chengbai didn't say anything. The fishing rod in his hand was almost crushed, and the knuckles of his clenched hands turned white.
He wanted to deny it, but he couldn't open his mouth.
Gu Jiujing said, "If you don't agree with my approach, you should have cut ties with him once you regained your memory. He was planning to cut ties with you then, wasn't he? Why did you deliberately provoke him, making him dig graves in the middle of the night, just to find a reason to imprison him?"
“…”
"Yu Chengbai, you're not as well-behaved and honest as you think you are. Why bother pretending?"

PS:
Let me make it clear first, I am really not his brother. I would never dare to play with real bones even if you kill me. It’s fake, fake. Please type fake on the public screen!
Gu Jiujing's car was handed over to his brother from his wife. As mentioned in the previous book, he is a man without any moral sense. Before he met Shi Ming, he was a pure careerist. After finding no room for development in Beijing, he set his sights on foreign countries. During those years abroad, he was crazy about his career and it was booming, so he didn't return to China to date Shi Ming.
Gu Jiujing and Yu Chengbai's bottom line is their wives, and then the other party deliberately steps on the bottom line~
When the four of them meet, no one knows what kind of Shura scene will unfold.
