string. "See you the day after tomorrow."

"I'll be back tomorrow night. You forgot...I'm only staying one night. Maybe I'll be back overnight."

Zhong Xian gets off the car in a daze.The inner struggle made him almost unable to stand still.

Deng Yi got out of the car with him: "There is one thing I didn't want to tell you. Forgive me for not listening to you. I still..."

"What's the matter?" Zhong Xian was uneasy.He didn't listen carefully to what Deng Yi was talking about.He was thinking about how he would explain to his fourth brother Deng Qian if he failed the test.The unpaid check kept replaying in his mind.

Deng Yi was still talking: "Although you said you would not let me meddle in your affairs. But I don't want you to be troubled. In fact, I have already put your troubles..."

Zhong Xian's cell phone rang at this moment, and a super domineering serial number appeared on the screen. When Zhong Xian picked it up, it was Deng Qian himself calling. "I saw you. I'm in the car after passing the customs to the intersection here."

"You...how come to pick it up in person..." Zhong Xian swallowed.He thought that the fourth elder brother Deng Qian should have seen Deng Yi at the same time, could he still not realize that what he was about to possess was his younger brother's property. "Give me some more time."

The fourth brother's voice is very serious: "I just learned something about you. There was a murder case at the HY construction site. A camera recorded the process of committing the crime."

If struck by lightning, Zhong Xian put away his phone and stammered to Deng Yi. "I have to go. The car over there is here." He picked up his handbag and walked towards the gate.For a moment, he was overwhelmed by doubts and ominous premonitions, and he really wanted to turn around and escape to Deng Yi's side.

After swiping the E card, scanning fingerprints and eye corners/membranes, when Zhong Xian passed through the self-service gate leading to Hong Kong, he looked back at Deng Yi.Deng Yi was waving at him.But Zhong Xian could not respond to anything.He couldn't even hide the despair in his eyes anymore.

Deng Yi ran towards him.The gate is closed, isolating them.

Zhong Xian is not a person who can be intimidated by difficulties.

But facing the fourth brother Deng Qian, his ability to respond to crises seems to be under heavy cement slabs.

He didn't know whether this fear came from his admiration for the person in front of him, or from some strange instinct.Difficult to sort out.

Sitting in this spacious and stretched luxury car with a Hong Kong license plate, he is not at all surprised to see his fourth brother Deng Jian, who is accompanied by the driver and bodyguard, is waiting for his arrival leisurely. the same person.

The morning sun shines through the car window on the silver peacock pattern on Deng Jian's black shirt.

When Zhong Xian was brought into the car by the bodyguards waiting at the border crossing, the corners of Deng Qian's mouth under the sunglasses showed a hint of joy that seemed to be a smile that was not a smile.

Zhong Xian's expression was hard to hide, and he hesitated when getting into the car.

There was a champagne smell in the car.On the armrest at the rear of the carriage were two glasses filled with wine.

Zhong Xian felt that something was different from usual.The feeling of seeing the fourth brother Deng Qian this time is subtly different from before.For a moment he couldn't figure out what the difference was.

He really wants to use his brain to deal with the situation that may happen, but there is no better way to do it except silence for the time being.

"Why are you inside?" Deng Qian picked up a gold-encrusted mobile phone on the armrest, the silver trim on the black cuff was very eye-catching.

"I don't know." Zhong Xian chose to sit opposite Deng Qian.The driver started the car and drove along a road with green trees and wilderness on both sides. After leaving the pass, no buildings could be seen from the car window.

"You don't know." Deng Qian repeated Zhong Xian's words.

"What you are facing is a patient with 'amnesia' that can only be seen in movies or novels."

The corner of Deng Qian's mouth slightly raised: "You mean, you forgot about the murder."

Zhong Xian didn't dare to ask who else knew about this matter, whether they had alerted the police.

At the beginning of the relationship with Deng Yi, he once confessed to Deng Yi.The tacit agreement between them has never been mentioned again.Zhong Xian almost thought that this incident just passed away, as if it never existed.

It now appears that he cannot escape and will certainly pay the price.

"Is there really surveillance?" Zhong Xian asked in a low voice.

Deng Qianba played with the mobile phone in his hand, and passed it to Zhong Xian leisurely, and a video played on the screen.The shooting angle of the video is very hidden. In the gray rain, one person is vaguely seen knocking down another person.But the picture is blurred and cannot be distinguished.

But it was enough to frighten Zhong Xian.

Deng Qian took the phone back: "I'm waiting for you to say something, using a lot of reasons to beg me to believe that you didn't do it. I'm waiting to see this side of you. Instead, you don't say a word, okay, let's start Your performance."

"I probably really killed someone..." Zhong Xian said frankly.

"The HY construction site is the second brother's most important thing. I wonder why you haven't been wiped out." Deng Qian glanced at Zhong Xian.

"Why does fourth brother have this video?" Zhong Xian asked.

There was a half-smile in Deng Qian's eyes: "It's because of Deng Yi. Recently, he always checks the information of the HY project and checks the monitoring records over and over again. It's impossible not to pay attention to such a strange behavior."

"It's Deng Yi..." Zhong Xian felt annoyed that he lost his sense of crisis because he was immersed in love and trust before.He should have thought that Deng Yi would not really let this matter go, he would definitely investigate.

"That guy will do many incomprehensible things when he has obsession." Deng Qian shook his head with a smile.

"What does fourth brother plan to do to me..."

"With your intelligence, you should have guessed it. People from HQC Real Estate have headquarters, and they will report to me bypassing my second brother." Deng Qian was thoughtful. "Speaking of it, whether it's the entertainment culture or cutting-edge scientific research that I seem to be engaged in now, it's just icing on the cake. Real estate is the cornerstone of HQC."

"Does Second Brother know that you are involved in real estate?" Zhong Xian asked boldly.In his feeling, Kaidi is not a person who can allow others to do things in his territory.Even his own younger brother.

"What we want to talk about is your business." Deng Qian took a sip of his wine. "Tell me about my principles. In my eyes, things are roughly divided into two types—what you should know and what you shouldn't know. You should know that you don't know yourself."

"What do I want……"

There were ripples in Deng Qian's eyes.

"Since the fourth brother understands me, please tell me why I forget important things. Because I can't figure this out, I have already begun to suspect that I have schizophrenia."

"Maybe it's because - that's what you shouldn't know." Deng Qian answered lightly. "Okay. Don't let the atmosphere feel like falling into a glacier. I'll help you, and you'll be fine."

The car went around a large dense forest at an even and steady speed, and soon saw the sea again.Zhong Xian couldn't avoid Deng Qian's gaze.

He wanted to find a way out of the mess as quickly as possible—how to do it most beneficially.

Hearing a slight sound as if a car window was raised, Zhong Xian turned his head and saw that the partition between the back of his seat and the driver was raised.Turning around, I saw Deng Qian's hand touching the control panel of the car door.

Zhong Xian began to look for topics that would calm his mind: "Fourth brother invests in scientific research projects? I thought you only focused on entertainment and culture. Have you started to take over the affairs of the headquarters?"

"I have two degrees related to artificial intelligence, and the other is biology. I have been puzzled by a problem since I was a child. Why does blood cause relatives who have never met to have feelings and a spirit of sacrifice."

"Research on this..." Zhong Xian was puzzled. "This is the nature of all creatures. For the continuation of the race. This instinct is easy to understand."

"For the sake of continuation, that's just its final effect. What is the principle of operation, and how much of it is rational. When we develop artificial intelligence, we always want to develop our own brain endlessly. But does anyone I thought about how to control the brain and resist nature."

Zhong Xian couldn't understand: "Are you saying that you are investing in research to make people's brains obey commands? Or do you mean that research makes the brain function like a computer?"

"A few words can make you understand, so you don't need a scientist." Deng Xie took out a small bottle of perfume from the inside pocket of his shirt, and casually sprayed a little into the air.He stopped talking and stared intently at the bell.

The slightly cool first taste of the perfume floated to Zhong Xian's nose.The sun shines into the car windows with the grid curtains closed, and the atmosphere gradually becomes beautiful.

Zhong Xian widened his eyes with a little doubt.He finally realized what was missing just now.

"Is yours the same as Deng Yi's?"

Deng Qian didn't answer, and looked at Zhong Xian with contented eyes, as if examining a piece of precious porcelain.

Zhong Xian avoided his gaze unnaturally, admiration and longing were surging in his heart uncontrollably.

"This is today's itinerary. Let's take a look at the tutor's information." Deng Qian took out a document from the trolley box, Zhong Xian bent forward to look, and they gradually approached.

Seeing the teacher's name clearly on the materials, Zhong Xian was taken aback: "Is it him!" It was actually the idol he imitated since childhood.Deng Qian knew him so well!

"I hope he can inspire you enough."

"Thank you..." Zhong Xian raised his head.The four eyes are facing each other.His brain has been shut down, and he can no longer hear the cry in his heart.

"You're right. I persuaded my father to invest in brain research when I was a teenager. Emotions can inhibit the operation of the human brain. But how does it inhibit it." Deng Qian stared at Zhong Xian.

Despite the strong thoughts, Zhong Xian ordered himself to restrain himself.

Deng Qian's fingers slowly slid across Zhong Xian's neck and stopped behind his head.The refreshing cold fragrance makes people's breathing more and more rapid. "What do you think..." Deng Qian's voice seemed to be scratching his heart.Zhong Xian closed his eyes.

There is no way out.Can only indulge the will, fall
