Chapter 226 You Will
The room is not soundproof.
Shi Ming sat on the sofa against the wall, listening to the faint noises coming from next door, his face ashen.
His body was so stiff that it could be chopped into pieces and used as firewood. It was just right for him to go over and add some dry firewood to the two shameless guys next door to add to the fun.
"Hour."
Gu Jiujing, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly called him.
Shi Ming said indifferently, "Shut up and get out if you keep talking."
Gu Jiujing looked at him, but instead of shutting up, he asked, "Are we going to sit like this all night?"
Shi Ming frowned, "What else do you want to do? Sleep? Can you sleep now? You can sleep, but I can't! I'm afraid that I'll be sleeping soundly and suddenly be strangled to death by the person next to me in the middle of the night!"
"You know I can't."
"I have no idea!"
Shi Ming suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on the man opposite him who had his eyes lowered. He seemed gentle and docile, but in fact he was calm and composed without any sign of panic.
He forced himself to suppress his anger and said, "I don't want to talk about the past. Now get out of here. I don't want to see you in the near future. Do you understand?"
"Because of Ning Yan?"
"You still have the nerve to mention him!"
"I admit that I was the one who planned his amnesia, but if I hadn't done that at the time, Yu Chengbai would have died at his hands."
"Yu Chengbai is Yu Li's older brother. They have always had a good relationship, and from what I understand, Ning Yan and Yu Li's relationship is even better than that of brothers."
"People always do irrational things when they're emotionally aroused. He wanted to kill Yu Chengbai, and I tried every possible way to stop him. Isn't that helping him?"
"Since the existing contradictions cannot be resolved, why not step out of your original identity?"
"I admit that I have my own selfish desires, but who doesn't have selfish desires when they are young?"
"Putting aside everything that happened before, isn't this the best situation now?"
Shi Ming looked at him quietly, without interrupting, speaking, or showing any sign of anger.
His brows furrowed slightly.
The look he gave Gu Jiujing gradually became complicated and unpredictable.
Shi Ming said slowly: "I thought you would feel even a little bit of guilt and regret."
Without waiting for Gu Jiujing to speak, he quickly said, "But you don't. You only feel the satisfaction and pride of your successful plan. In your eyes, everyone is just a tool to be used."
"If your plan fails, if the relationship between them doesn't improve, or gets worse, what are you going to do?"
Gu Jiujing didn't say anything.
"Kill Ning Yan?"
Shi Ming stared at him and sneered: "Then tell me, you will definitely find a way to avenge my friend, right?"
"I won't."
"You will! You definitely will!"
"...Okay, I will." Gu Jiujing looked at him and said seriously, "But I won't do this to you, and I won't do this to him in the future. I really know I was wrong."
Shi Ming's face showed no emotion. He looked expressionlessly at the man who was best at disguising himself and said calmly, "Who knows? I'm courting death by gambling with the conscience of a man without conscience."
Before Gu Jiujing could continue to refute, Shi Ming had already turned around and walked out, "Divorce Gu Jiujing."
Before my hand touched the door handle, a hand suddenly reached out from behind me.
Gu Jiujing grabbed his shoulders, turned his body over, facing him, and pressed him against the wall.
A hint of panic finally appeared in the man's eyes. He spoke very quickly, "I didn't know you were close at the time. You didn't have many friends. During the years I wasn't back home, Chen Dong said you were always alone. I didn't know he was very important to you."
"Did you find out after you sniped him?"
"……Know."
"Have you confessed to me?"
"……No."
"Ning Yan and Yu Chengbai went to the Gu family after returning to the capital, and you are the one who knows the most about their relationship. At that time, they quarreled and had conflicts, and it even got to the point where Ning Yan almost faked his own death. Have you confessed to me?"
Gu Jiujing was silent.
Shi Ming looked at him coldly and disappointedly, and said, "When I mentioned divorce, you got anxious and panicked, but when I mentioned Ning Yan's life and death just now, you didn't react at all. You were only thinking about how to solve the current problem."
Gu Jiujing seemed to realize something and immediately grabbed his wrist, holding it tightly.
Shi Ming didn't hide or struggle, he just looked at him quietly.
"Ning Yan always felt that he was not a good person. He felt that he was very bad."
“But in fact, people who are not good people never think about whether they are good people or not.”
"Gu Jiujing, you are really scary."
Gu Jiujing's hand holding Shi Ming's wrist suddenly froze and did not move for a long time.
I wanted to explain, but found my mind was full of rebuttals.
Regret, shame, self-blame, and embarrassment... He didn't have any of these emotions.
The only emotion that could be clearly felt was the momentary stabbing pain and trembling in the heart after hearing Shi Ming's last words.
After a long pause, Gu Jiujing trembled and said, "When I was little, you said I was scary, but aren't you scary?"
Shi Ming looked at him in shock, suspecting there was something wrong with his ears: "...I'm scary?"
Gu Jiujing lowered his head, looking sad. "When you saw me make a mistake, you ran away, you refused to communicate, you hid from me everywhere, and the first thing you said was divorce."
Shi Ming frowned and interrupted him, "I didn't give you a chance? I didn't communicate with you when I returned to the capital? Who is it that relies on his intelligence to treat me like a fool?!"
"But when you did something wrong before, I couldn't bear to say a harsh word to you. Now that I've made a mistake, you want to leave me behind."
“…”
"Hour, this isn't fair."
