Chapter 145 I am his husband
Moros looked at the man opposite him, who had a slightly unusual expression. His eyes dropped, and his gaze fell on his clenched hands. He said calmly, "Master Jiu, why are you so nervous?"
Gu Jiujing quickly let go of his hand.
Before she could speak, the man opposite her raised his eyes and said coldly, "You are not Gu Jiujing, who are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Ming immediately reached for the butterfly knife that Lan Ze had taught him to hide in his clothes. However, before his hand even touched the butterfly knife, his eyes suddenly widened.
He stood frozen in place, preparing to stand up.
There were four pistols pointed at his head.
Moros was still sitting in the chair opposite, looking at the young man in front of him expressionlessly. He glanced at the bodyguards surrounding him and said coldly, "These four are my personal protectors. There are ten other people in this courtyard besides them. Didn't you get to know Gu Jiujing before pretending to be him? Do you think I would leave any tricks unturned when meeting someone as sinister and cunning as him?"
"Tell me." Moros frowned. "Who asked you to come? Gu Jiujing? He's afraid of death, so he asked you to pretend to be him and negotiate with me?"
"I don't know if he's afraid of death himself, but he should be very afraid of my death."
Moros looked at him with complicated eyes.
Shi Ming had grown up in China, a country where guns were strictly prohibited. When he suddenly saw four guns pointed at his head at the same time, it would be a lie to say he wasn't scared.
He even felt his hair stand on end and his heart stopped for several seconds.
When I was trying to bite Gu Jiujing with the attitude of seeking death, I never felt that death was so close to me.
But after I came to my senses, I felt okay and didn’t feel that scared.
Who doesn’t die in their lifetime?
Isn't it just one shot?
Shi Ming calmly returned to his seat under Moros's confused, yet slightly surprised look, and reached out to brush away the gun that was slightly blocking his view.
He said calmly: "I'm not here to negotiate, nor am I here to cause trouble. I don't know what Gu Jiujing did with you."
This tone, which showed that he didn't take Gu Jiujing seriously, nor did he take the gun above his head seriously, made Moros look puzzled.
Shi Ming said: "Ning Yan and I are friends. He is missing and I am here to look for him. It has nothing to do with Gu Jiujing."
Moros looked him up and down and sneered, "You have nothing to do with Gu Jiujing? You disguise yourself as him and tell me you have nothing to do with him?"
"I didn't say I had nothing to do with him. I was talking about the affair between you and him. I didn't know anything about it, and I didn't come here for that."
"Oh? Then what's your relationship? Do you have the guts to show off in his face?"
"I'm his husband."
“…”
Shi Ming had a blank expression on his face: "When I get back and divorce you, you'll be my ex-husband."
"..." Moros had a vague bad feeling. He frowned and said slowly, "You went back to divorce him not because of his scheme against Ning Yan, right? One is a friend, the other is a lover. I think you should be more inclined to your lover. After all, love is the only one, right? You should try to be more tolerant of your lover. Who doesn't make small mistakes?"
"I have shown him the greatest tolerance by not beating him to death."
"..." Moros opened his eyes slightly, obviously in disbelief.
Shi Ming looked at him and continued, "If what you just said is true, then it proves that you and Gu Jiujing plotted against Ning Yan together. Now you ask me to tolerate him. Are you afraid that Ning Yan will know that you stabbed your friend in the back? Or are you afraid that Gu Jiujing will know that your ally is up to no good?"
Moros frowned slowly: "Since you are Gu Jiujing's lover, didn't he teach you that keeping your mouth shut can save your life?"
Shi Ming sneered, "Don't act like you'll let me go just because I'm playing dumb. From the moment you realized I was fake, you've already figured out where to bury me, right?"
"Yes." Moros said frankly, without any intention of denying it. "Since you already know this, I allow you to choose a good location for yourself."
"Since you're working with Gu Jiujing, you must know him well."
"He's okay. I've never met him in person, only seen photos of him when he was young. My dad had a crush on him, but he broke one of his legs. Now he's paralyzed in bed, and I found the photos from him."
“…”
Moros smiled, looked at the frowning young man in front of him, and asked, "Are you trying to say that if I kill you, Gu Jiujing will not let me go?"
Shi Ming said, "I think it's quite likely that Ning Yan won't let you go. Lan Ze is your apprentice, right? I can see that you like him. Didn't you just ask me to pick a good feng shui location? I don't have any other requirements, just bury me with your sweetheart. If you want to kill me, you have to kill him too. I followed him here, and all my friends know about it."
Moros didn't seem to be at all defensive, he just frowned slightly, looking a little embarrassed.
He didn't want to kill the person in front of him because it was meaningless and worthless, and would only bring trouble.
Ning Yan will find out about his cooperation with Gu Jiujing one day; it is just a matter of time.
Besides, there was no need for him to completely piss off Gu Jiujing.
After staring at the young man in front of him and thinking for a moment, Moros suddenly said, "Do you know why I cooperated with Gu Jiujing to plot against Ning Yan?"
Shi Ming shook his head, his expression cold: "You have cooperated with Gu Jiujing, how can you be a good person? Backstabbing and plotting against friends is not a common occurrence for people like you."
"...If I remember correctly, you just said he was your husband."
"I said I was his husband."
"So you think your husband is not a good person either?"
"Do I need to think about this?"
"..." Moros was so surprised that his hand on the armrest slipped.
When he investigated Gu Jiujing, he didn't seem to have heard that his marriage was arranged by a family. How come the relationship he had arranged seemed even worse than an arranged marriage?
Moros hesitated and asked him, "Are you really Gu Jiujing's partner? The kind with a marriage certificate?"
Shi Ming was not angry at his repeated questioning, and said calmly: "Give me the phone, I'll call him now, and you can ask him yourself."
"Forget it then." Moros said quickly.
After a pause, he remembered what he was about to say, looked up at Shi Ming opposite him, and continued: "Do you want to know why I cooperated with Gu Jiujing to plot against Ning Yan?"
Shi Ming: "No."
“…”
"If you're planning to complain, tell me about your insincere feelings, and then put all the blame on Gu Jiujing, I think you can shut up."
Moros immediately said, "What if I say I have evidence?"
Shi Ming frowned: "What evidence?"
Moros smiled and asked, "Did you know about the sniper duel between Gu Jiujing and Ning Yan?"
"I know. We each took a bullet. I think that's fair."
"What if I tell you that Gu Jiujing was shot on purpose?"
