why do you like me

077 Destiny

The sound of quarreling came from upstairs, and Cheng Jing stood at the stairs.There were lights upstairs and in the living room, but the place where he was standing was dim and getting darker.

He stood for a while, Jiang Chuan and Nan Xichi didn't seem to intend to stop the fight, so they turned around and moved the ingredients into the kitchen.He didn't really cook, and he used to help Jiang Chuan occasionally, but it was just cleaning vegetables, and he didn't even touch a knife.Cheng Jing didn't know whether to thaw the frozen mutton that Nan Xichi brought back in the microwave or throw it directly into hot water.He hesitated for a moment, then finally gave up and went to get the tomatoes.

There was a dog barking outside, Cheng Jing's vegetables were almost finished, and Jiang Chuan and Nan Xichi also went downstairs.Nan Xichi had a cigarette in his mouth, said without looking at anyone that there was nothing to drink at home, and then went straight out to buy drinks.Jiang Chuan walked into the kitchen, watched Cheng Jing use all the available dishes, smiled and said, "Let me do it, just watch from your side."

The mutton hot pot that Nan Xichi wanted to eat was a specialty of northern Xinjiang, and Jiang Chuan really didn't know how to cook it.He checked the condiments at hand while comparing the production process on the Internet, and tried to make a red soup.Knowing that Cheng Jing doesn't eat spicy food, he said, "We have a lot of meat, so if it's not spicy, it won't taste good. I'll make you another bowl of clear soup."

"No need." Cheng Jing stared at his meat-cutting action, "I'll just wash it with hot water."

Jiang Chuan thought for a while: "It's still white soup."

Cheng Jing brought him an empty plate: "Just red soup. I can't eat much, and the main force is you two."

Jiang Chuan can eat spicy food, and Nan Xichi likes spicy food. When the two of them ate hot pot, they didn't chatter like before, and the atmosphere was very silent for a while.Jiang Chuan said at the beginning that he would settle the matter.Cheng Jing thought for a while, but finally said nothing.

After the two of them went back, Jiang Chuan still didn't mention it, and only did everything that Jin Min asked.Cheng Jing had nothing to do, she washed up early and read a book on the sofa.After Jiang Chuan finished, he asked him if he wanted to eat supper. Cheng Jing rubbed his full stomach, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "Put me to sleep."

Jiang Chuan closed the door, walked over to pick him up without saying a word, went upstairs, and stuffed him into the bed.

There are only two possibilities for Cheng Jing to act good, either he is drunk and in a good mood, or he is trying to deceive others.Jiang Chuan didn't allow him to touch the cold beer at night, and it was obviously the latter at the moment.Jiang Chuan leaned over the quilt, tucked the corners of the quilt carefully, and said, "We will go back tomorrow, and I must make it clear to Chizi today. Sleep well, don't worry about it."

"You're cheating in front of me."

Jiang Chuan smiled, it was the first time he had seen Cheng Jing put on such a messy look, and without tucking in the quilt, he stroked his bangs to reveal his smooth and beautiful forehead, and said, "How can it be, you won't be happy."

"I won't be unhappy, I'll kick you straight away."

"Then I can't do it anymore. If you kick me, I will be so sad."

Jiang Chuan kissed Cheng Jing's forehead, then covered his eyes with his palm, and coaxed, "Go to sleep, I'll wait until you fall asleep before going over."

Although Nan Xichi looked like he didn't care, Jiang Chuan cared.Nan Xiangjun was not as heinous as Jiang Guodong, nor as unforgiving as Cheng Yumin.It's okay to be heartless when I was young, but now it's obvious that Nan Xichi actually has a lot of things in his heart that he can't let go of. Jiang Chuan doesn't want to just fool around like this, otherwise this brother can't do it.

Cheng Jing didn't ask Jiang Chuan what happened until he returned to City S.He didn't know what kind of person Nan Xiangjun was, but he knew that Jiang Chuan and Nan Xichi had a deep relationship.It is already a difficult fate for two people who are not related by blood to value each other so much, not to mention that he also trusts Jiang Chuan.

Cheng Jing was thinking about something else.

Nan Xichi didn't like to read any news, and never cared about such gossip.So who told him this?

Cheng Jing was somewhat puzzled by Yan Qingshu's behavior style.

Nanxichi and Jiangchuan are more or less dependent on each other.Especially for Nan Xichi, Jiang Chuan is his only family member, otherwise Nan Xichi would not rather be entangled by himself and avoid Jiang Chuan's showdown.What's the point of Yan Qingshu doing this?

After returning, Jiang Chuan got busy again.In addition to class, he also has to make a summary report on the content of the seminar.Cheng Jing didn't go to J University with him, and just stayed in the barber shop downstairs in a daze.If the yellow hair wants to change its hair color, the black face will be changed for him.The two tried several colors, but Huang Mao was still not satisfied, so he pushed the black face away to study on his own.Cheng Jing continued to think about Yan Qingshu while smoothing Jinmao.

Before the incident of stealing the computer from the hotel happened, Cheng Jing felt lucky. Yan Qingshu hadn't moved for a long time, so he might not be interested in him anymore.But now that Nanxi Pond has been dug out, it is obvious that Yan Qingshu has been doing something, but Cheng Jing doesn't know about it.What does this person want to do?

Yan Qingshu's biggest bargaining chip is Xie Jiayu's company, but Cheng Jing has already given up.Yan Qingshu planned to attack Jiangchuan, so he wanted to use Nanxichi to sow discord?

Huangmao studied for a long time, and finally ran out to buy ice cream by himself.There were no other customers in the store, and the black face was playing with the stereo, the sound was so loud that it directly shook Cheng Jing to his senses, and he clutched his heart and wanted to go out.

The music was not turned off, and the black face came out, standing next to Cheng Jing and said, "You want to take the initiative and force Yan Qingshu to play cards?"

Cheng Jing nodded, not intending to hide it: "Jiang Chuan has always been protected by a professor. Yan Qingshu has nothing to do with him. But he will graduate in more than a year, and now he is almost planning to find an internship. It is very convenient for Yan Qingshu to play with him. .”

"What about yourself?"

"Me?" Cheng Jing looked into the distance and thought seriously, "Originally, I planned to take a break for a year or two and start again, but I never expected to be in this state... Without Yan Qingshu, this state would be okay, no It’s nice to be carefree, don’t you too.”

He said it easily, but he looked at the black face with a calm gaze: "I was thinking that maybe Yan Qingshu targeted me not just because of Feng Yu's instigation. Why did my mother's company transfer to Nie Mingting's name? What about my father and Nie Yizhi, is there any other deal between them that I don't know about?"

If it is said that Yan Qingshu is like a son-in-law, but there is never a shortage of beautiful men and women around him, and it is even more impossible to pursue a man closely, Cheng Jing will not be confused by this.What Yan Qingshu really pursued was something that Nie Mingting had but he didn't have.

Cheng Jing pondered in his heart for two days, but he couldn't come up with anything.

That day Jiang Chuan had a class at ten o'clock in the morning. When he dragged his feet out, the yellow hair had just been dyed.Cheng Jing led Jinmao downstairs, Jiang Chuan had a schoolbag on his left shoulder, the two looked up and saw Huangmao's new look, Jiang Chuan showed two dimples: "Hey, Baimao."

Huangmao: "This is Grandma Ash!"

Jiang Chuan: "Oh, grandma."

Huang Mao & Cheng Jing: "..."

Huangmao turned and ran towards the barbershop, bumping into Heilian who was about to come out.He didn't even look at the black face, he turned around and ran towards Cheng Jing, holding his nose, humming: "Cheng Jing, I'll walk the dog with you."

Heimian walked over and stretched his arms to turn him over: "Where did you hit?"

Jiang Chuan looked at it twice with a smile, and his eyes fell on Cheng Jing again: "The professor is on vacation, I will come back early in the afternoon, tell me what you want to buy, and I will take it with me on the way."

That day was really ordinary. When Jiang Chuan recalled it, he didn't notice anything wrong.There are always people who say that when there is a turning point in life, fate will give a hint.But that day, he didn't notice any details.He said goodbye to Cheng Jing at the door of the barber shop, then turned left and rushed to J University for the third class.Cheng Jing stood at the door until Jiang Chuan's figure disappeared at the intersection, then he turned around and walked to the right with Jin Mao.

It was just an ordinary autumn sunshine that day, and the ginkgo leaves fell all over the ground.When he was about to reach the school gate, Jiang Chuan saw a lot of people standing on the side of the road taking pictures, so he took a picture casually, and just wanted to send it to Cheng Jing, but stopped, thinking that there is a lot of time recently, so he can take Cheng Jing to take a look look.

Then he raised his head and walked forward. When he passed a van, the door of the van suddenly swung open, and two people jumped out of it. One covered his mouth, the other grabbed his arm, and they went into the van without any pause. stuffed.Jiang Chuan stretched out his foot to kick the man, and kicked him on the car board. Then his neck was twisted back, and a black bag was put on his head.

The bag is made of cloth, but Jiang Chuan's neck has been firmly stuck, and he can tell from his posture that he is a veteran.After Jiang Chuan pedaled for a while, half of his strength was lost, and his efforts were no longer in vain.He suddenly regretted not sending the photo to Cheng Jing just now.

The van didn't drive for long, and when it stopped, Jiang Chuan's limbs were tightly bound, and the black bag on his head was removed.The van was parked in a remote and unmonitored place. Besides him, there were four people in the car, a driver, and the other three were stuck in the back seat, controlling him tightly. Jiang Chuan cursed.

A person slapped him across the face, and then stuck a mobile phone over.

Hearing Yan Qingshu's voice, Jiang Chuan fucked again, and Yan Qingshu laughed softly over there.Jiang Chuan was furious: "You fucking dare to touch Cheng Jing, I'm going to kill you!"

"Don't." Yan Qingshu was still laughing, the kind of smile that pinching other people's lives is like playing with dead cats and dogs, "How can I move Cheng Jing, the pain is too late."

"Fuck!" Jiang Chuan spat, "What do you want to do?"

Cheng Jing received a call from Yan Qingshu after lunch.

When Jiang Chuan is not around, he will make lunch in advance before going out, and Cheng Jing can go to Huangmao's side and heat it up in the microwave.If Jiang Chuan does a lot, Huang Mao will follow Cheng Jing to eat a little.This day, Cheng Jing finished eating, so he left Jinmao with Huangmao, took the lunch box back by himself, and put it upside down by the kitchen stove after washing.

Too lazy to go out at noon, he walked around the room a few times, lifting dumbbells while listening to music.Panting slightly, she stopped and was about to change clothes and take a nap when Yan Qingshu called.

Cheng Jing didn't intend to pick it up, and was about to turn off the phone, when Yan Qingshu suddenly sent a message: Do you want to know what Jiang Chuan is doing?

Cheng Jing pursed her lips and looked at the line, and when she called again, the call was connected.

Yan Qingshu's breath came from the other end, he was probably drinking coffee, there was a sound of sipping, as if he didn't avoid suspicion at all.Cheng Jing didn't wait for him to speak, and said, "What's your last hole card?"

two hours ago.

Yan Qingshu turned on the video, but it wasn't him in the picture, but a closed truck compartment with a person shut inside.Yan Qingshu's voice came along with the video image: "Do you recognize who it is?"

The man bent over, Jiang Chuan didn't see who it was, and was about to scold, the camera suddenly moved forward, almost in front of the man, Jiang Chuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and froze there.Yan Qingshu said: "How about it, I won't threaten you with Cheng Jing. You do one thing for me, and I will return Nan Xiangjun's life to your brothers, huh?"

Nan Xiangjun in the video has aged a lot, and he doesn't know what he's been doing all these years, so he isn't angry at all.But the face hadn't changed much, and it was recognizable.Jiang Chuan stared at the video for a moment, forgot to react for a moment, felt incredible and then felt lucky out of thin air.

Yan Qingshu said: "Enough has been seen, it's alive and breathing."

Jiang Chuan came to his senses and struggled to get his phone, but was kicked in the chest.He cursed: "The video doesn't prove anything."

He glanced at the man who kicked him just now, and said, "Let me go alone and talk to Uncle Nan. If Uncle Nan can tell me my nickname, I will believe it."

"What's your nickname?"

"You care!"

Yan Qingshu smiled indifferently, and a moment later a person's cell phone rang in the car.The man glanced at Jiang Chuan, pushed open the door and was about to go out, when Jiang Chuan suddenly stopped him, gestured to his pocket with his eyes, and said, "I have a photo I just took in my mobile phone, you send it to your mobile phone, and when it arrives After Uncle Nan's side, show me to the camera."

When Yan Qingshu heard it, he felt aggrieved: "It's a living thing to say."

The man found the photo of the golden ginkgo leaf, uploaded it to his mobile phone, and then left.Yan Qingshu didn't hang up the phone, and let Jiang Chuan watch the half-dead Nan Xiangjun in the video, deliberately: "Do you know how he has lived these years? No money, no status, and no chance to go back to find you."

Jiang Chuan stared at the video, his eyes turned red.

That day, Nan Xichi repeatedly said that he didn't care about Cheng Yumin's shit, but all his uneasiness and fear all the time were because of Nan Xiangjun's death.When I was young, I didn't think my father was very important, and I felt really happy that no one was in charge of me.But when I really needed my father, I realized that I would never be taken care of by anyone.Every step of life in the future, I can only stumble along alone, not knowing right or wrong, let alone where to go.

Nan Xiangjun is not dead...

What they brought back at that time...was Xi Yun's body.

Jiang Chuan roared inwardly.Why didn't I find out that Xi Yun was wearing Nan Xiangjun's coat that day, the body was covered, and what Nan Xichi went to identify was actually Nan Xiangjun's clothes!

Jiang Chuan waited for more than an hour with pantothenic eyes and a blank mind, and finally saw the person who passed by here appear in the video.The man raised his phone towards the camera, shook the photo covered with golden ginkgo leaves, then walked up to the hunched Nan Xiangjun, and kicked Nan Xiangjun's calf.

Nan Xiangjun raised his head.

I couldn't hear the conversation between the two, and after a while, Yan Qingshu's voice came: "The surname Nan said you don't have a nickname... Hey, he called you a little bastard."

Jiang Chuan closed his eyes, bumped his head against the car wall behind him, regained consciousness suddenly, and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Cheng Jing listened expressionlessly, and Yan Qingshu's voice came from the phone: "The apprentices taught by Xi Yun must not be wasted, right? Casinos break the law, but Bitcoin is not at all. The central bank called for the closure of ICOs, but J The big project is still going on. Cheng Jing, look, Jiang Chuan is destined to do this job, and he is better than Xi Yun."

Cheng Jing unconsciously tapped on the table with her fingers bent: "He will transfer such a sum of money for you, and then, will you let him go?"

Yan Qingshu: "Honey, you're so naive all of a sudden, I thought you weren't listening to the call."

Cheng Jing continued to knock on the table, again and again, very lightly.

Jiang Chuan helped Yan Qingshu launder money with Bitcoin, and the IP cannot be recorded, but the project team's computer room monitoring and computer operations will leave the most definite evidence.

If Jiang Chuan doesn't do it, then the Nanxiang Army will not be free.

As for Cheng Jing, if he agrees to deal with Yan Qingshu, Jiang Chuan's money laundering will be interrupted.

If you don't agree, either Jiang Chuan will be reported and detained by the school, or Nan Xiangjun will never find him.

Cheng Jing pursed her lips, while Yan Qingshu said in a leisurely tone, "How about the card you've been waiting for? It's exciting, isn't it?"

Why is the Southward Army alive?

Nan Xiangjun and Xi Yun have a close relationship, and they know some of the inside story of the casino back then.At that time, Nan Xiangjun was not dead, but the "principal" was afraid that he would leak the news, so he kept him in custody? The "principal" doesn't take lives, so the person guarding Nan Xiangjun is from Nie Yizhi's side?

The movement of tapping on the table stopped, and her five fingers clenched tightly into fists. Cheng Jing suddenly knew what the deal between Cheng Yumin and Nie Yizhi was.He hung up Yan Qingshu's phone and dialed Jiang Chuan's.

It took a long time for Jiang Chuan to answer. There was a slight strangeness in his voice. He tried to pretend to be normal and asked, "Shouldn't you be taking a nap now? Why are you calling?"

Cheng Jing's voice was flat: "What about you, what are you doing?"

"I...in the laboratory building, the professor asked me to help him find some data."

"Aren't you on vacation today?"

"Yeah, but the professor wants to use it..." He suddenly couldn't continue, "I'll go back later... The ginkgo is all yellow, and the floor is very beautiful. You sleep a little longer, and I'll take you to see it .”

"Okay." Cheng Jing responded lightly, then hung up the phone.

In the afternoon when the autumn sun is high, everything in sight is covered with a layer of gold.There was no one in the office, Jiang Chuan was holding the key, sitting in the corridor against the wall, the sky above his head was pure blue.He felt like he was standing on the edge of a cliff, walking forward, betting on his own life, shrinking back, betting on the life of the Nanxiang Army.He was sitting here, flanked by Cheng Jing and Nan Xi Chi, no matter what he chose, he had to have someone who was sorry.

He didn't know that when he made a choice, Cheng Jing also made a choice.

On that sunny afternoon, Jiang Chuan didn't wait for Yan Qingshu to send the account, but waited for the senior brother on duty who came late.As if he had saved his life, he stood up hastily and ran out in a hurry, ignoring that he had to go to class, ran all the way across the street covered with golden ginkgo leaves, and ran back to Miguo Street.

The music in the barbershop was deafening, Su Jianxin sang heartbreakingly about the person who loves too much and dies, and the golden retriever squatted at the door to watch the golden retriever eat ice cream.Jiang Chuan ran upstairs with a bang, the floor-to-ceiling windows were open, the sun was overwhelming, and there was no one in the room.

Cheng Jing made his choice.
