embarrassment

When Ge Huan took the very familiar box from Bian Rong, he remembered that he still had such a thing.

It was exactly what Ge Ling had given him earlier, but it was forgotten when it was left on Bian Rong's car.

"What is this? You still use such a retro box to play mystery." Bian Rong teased.

"You didn't see it?"

"Am I that kind of person?" Bian Rong was not happy.

Ge Huan nodded seriously: "Yes."

Bian Rong rolled his eyes: "I shouldn't have given it to you."

Ge Huan shrugged and put his hand aside.

"Are you going back? Jiangcheng or Shangquan?" Bian Rong asked.

Ge Huan thought for a while: "I don't know."

"You would hesitate?" Bian Rong was inconceivable.

Ge Huan drank the wine in the quilt in one gulp: "This is so strange."

Bian Rong tutted twice and shook his head.

Ge Huan ignored him and stood up on his own: "I'll go first."

"Oh? Where are you going? You haven't been here for long."

"I have a date."

After saying that, he walked out, and Bian Rong followed beside him: "Who, Wu Xuancheng?"

Ge Huan froze for a moment, then quickly recovered, but Bian Rong still found out.

"It's Dong Xue."

"Huh? Why did you ask her out?"

Ge Huan walked to the door of the bar and hailed a taxi: "Guess."

Then he pulled the car door and walked away.

Ge Huan was startled when he saw Dong Xue again.

Dong Xue's face was frighteningly pale, as if she would fall down at any moment, but her eyes never left after Ge Huan entered the room.

Ge Huan frowned and sat opposite her: "I think you should go to the hospital instead of asking me out at this time."

Dong Xue pursed her lips and looked at him silently.

"What, hate me?"

Dong Xue finally spoke, but her voice was very weak: "No, I never hated you. It's my own choice."

Ge Huan raised his eyebrows: "Then you are..."

Dong Xue bent down and lifted a large box from under the table and put it on the table: "I'm here to give you this."

Ge Huan didn't answer, "This is?"

"It is said that this was taken by my father. Chairman Yunhua found me before, and he wanted to buy this back. I asked the reason and said that it was originally yours. I rejected him. I thought, I will personally buy this It's better for you."

Ge Huan was taken aback, opened the box, and found that it was the 'Drunken Flowers' that Dong Dahai had photographed at the previous auction.

"Dong Dahai paid a lot of money to buy this." Ge Huan withdrew his hand and looked up at her.

Dong Xue smiled: "I know, but it is precisely because of these things that my father has come to where he is today."

"Are you willing? If Dong Dahai finds out, he will be in a hurry with you."

"There's nothing to be reluctant about. I just want to get rid of these things as soon as possible. As for my father, it's good for him to lose these things."

Ge Huan looked at the person in front of him in surprise. Not long ago, Dong Xue was just a child in an ivory tower, but now she suddenly grew up.

"You have changed a lot." Ge Huan sighed.

"Recently, I often hear people say that it's just that people never change."

"Just take the things away." After Dong Xue finished speaking, she lowered her head and drank, as if she didn't want to talk to Ge Huan anymore.

Ge Huan stared at her for a while, finally stood up and picked up the box and said: "Then I will accept it, and there will be a later date."

He didn't get a reply, and Ge Huan didn't stay any longer, so he left directly.

Ge Huan looked at the big box in his hand, then at the box in the other hand, and was a little speechless, but somehow it went back and forth and returned to his hand.

Shaking his head, Ge Huan sent all these things to the room before Ye Shi Zhou Zheng, and then went to the hospital to see Zhou Zheng.

As soon as he entered the door, Ge Huan saw a familiar figure.

"Why are you here?"

Wu Xuancheng turned his head and saw Ge Huan, and said, "I'll come and see Mr. Zhou."

"Then you've seen it now." Ge Huan was chasing people away.

Wu Xuancheng sighed: "Xiaohuan, I haven't seen you for many days."

Ge Huan didn't talk to him. Seeing his haggard look, he knew that he must be very busy these days, so he only had time to come here today.

Wu Xuancheng wanted to speak again, but Ge Huan stopped him: "Let's talk outside."

When the two came to the door, Wu Xuancheng looked at him and said, "I've already settled the matter before, so you don't have to worry about someone coming to the door."

"The Wu family is in chaos right now, won't you go back?"

"Wu Xuanyu is taking care of the Wu family now, and I don't need it."

"Oh."

"I, I'm sorry before, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Ge Huan didn't even look at him: "Oh."

Wu Xuancheng saw that although he didn't look at him, he still responded, and couldn't help being a little happy. It seemed that things were not as bad as he thought.

He had already prepared for a long-term struggle before, but he didn't expect that Ge Huan didn't seem to be too angry.

In an instant, Wu Xuancheng recruited everyone who should be recruited, and also recruited who should not be recruited.

It turned out that Wu Xuancheng stayed abroad with his parents since he was a child, and he didn't return to the country until he was 11 years old.

During that time, apart from his parents, the best thing for him was the uncle next door.It was only after he returned home that he lost contact.

However, five years ago, when he was inquiring about information in various places, he met that person again before a coincidence.

After that person learned about Wu Xuancheng's situation, he extended an olive branch to him, but he didn't make a clear explanation at the beginning, and then he gradually gained attention. Wu Xuancheng really knew what that person did, and he joined what kind of organization.

That person was Carter, the former head of the Fanke family.

And just last year, the previous boss Carter suddenly announced that he would travel around the world with his new wife and dumped all the burdens on Wu Xuancheng.

It was at that time that Wu Xuancheng truly became the current leader.

After listening to these, Ge Huan still replied in a neutral way: "Oh."

This made Wu Xuancheng a little discouraged.

"Dong Dahai, what are you going to do? Don't you really let him live comfortably in prison like this?" After a moment of silence, Ge Huan asked suddenly.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, I will let him know what it means not to die." Wu Xuancheng's voice was a little cold.

"Well. I'll go and see the old man first, you can go back." Ge Huan said to send him off.

"I'll be waiting with you."

Ge Huan gave him a sideways look: "Don't bother, I will stay until night."

Wu Xuan immediately stated: "I have nothing to do, I will accompany you."

Hearing this, Ge Huan frowned: "I said no, since I'm so free, let's go to sleep, the dark circles under my eyes are almost falling to the ground."

Wu Xuancheng's eyes suddenly softened: "It's okay, I want to stay with you for a while."

Ge Huan rolled his eyes and went straight into the ward without closing the door, which was self-evident.

He said that he stayed until night, and when he turned around, he saw Wu Xuancheng sitting on the sofa and fell asleep at some point.

Ge Huan stood up and walked to Wu Xuancheng's side and looked down at him. He didn't speak or move for a long time, just stood there.

Wu Xuancheng seemed to feel something and opened his eyes.

"what happened?"

Ge Huan pouted: "Go back to sleep, let's go."

"Ah."

On the way, Wu Xuancheng tried to abduct Ge Huan home but failed, and in the end he just sent him to the gate of Yese.

"By the way, Xiao Huan, wait a minute." Wu Xuancheng said suddenly when Ge Huan was about to get off the car.

"what happened?"

Wu Xuancheng straightened up and groped for a while from the back seat, took a bag and handed it to Ge Huan: "This is for you."

"what?"

"'key'."

"...Are you guys going to have a party? Why do they have to be on the same day?" Ge Huan was speechless.

"What same day?" Wu Xuancheng looked at him suspiciously.

"'Keys' I have two now."

Wu Xuancheng was taken aback, and finally gave him the bag: "Then this is just right for you, you can try to collect it."

"Come on, I'm not interested." Ge Huan got off the car without answering.

However, Wu Xuancheng stuffed the bag directly into his arms: "Take it, I'm useless."

Ge Huan rolled his eyes and finally accepted.

Then the next day, Ge Huan resisted the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth and tried his best to remain indifferent: "What is this?"

"'Key'." Yang Yuan said.

This time, Ge Huan finally couldn't help it anymore, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "You definitely have an appointment."

Yang Yuan's smile remained unchanged: "What?"

Ge Huan shook his head, took the bag over, and put it aside without looking at it: "I mean, you actually have time to come to see me, and you gave me this."

Ge Xu has now gradually handed over the Ge family to Yang Yuan, so Yang Yuan is very busy during this time, and Ma Yu often complains that he hasn't seen Yang Yuan for a long time.

"That's what my father meant."

"Ge Xu?"

"Well. He said that there is nothing he can give you, so he will treat it as a gift. It is useless to put this thing in Ge's house."

Ge Huan rolled his eyes, thinking that this is a garbage collection station.

"I thought you wouldn't accept it." Yang Yuan looked at him with a smile.

Ge Huan raised his lips: "Why didn't I accept it? Several people have given me this item in the past two days, and I'm still a little interested."

Yang Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Then you are really lucky."

Ge Huan waved his hand: "No, no, no, this is not good luck, you are thinking that my place is a garbage collection place."

Yang Yuan smiled: "You can try to get together to see, maybe there will be some treasures."

"Hehe, labor and capital are not rare."

"Anyway, the things are entrusted to you, you can look at and deal with them yourself."

Ge Huan glanced at the bag and nodded.

"I won't stay any longer, there are still things to deal with."

Ge Huan knew that he had been very busy since the Ge family's scandal was exposed, and Yang Yuan also found time to meet him this time, so he didn't stay: "Well, come on!"

Yang Yuan was a little helpless: "Come on, is this a mess?"

Ge Huan shrugged: "That has nothing to do with me."

Yang Yuan stood up and was about to leave. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "Oh, that's right. Father asked me to bring you a message, saying don't forget your agreement when he finishes his work for a while."

"Huh?...Oh." Ge Huan was at a loss for a moment, and then realized Ge Xu's previous promise to have dinner with him.

In the end, Ge Huan reluctantly returned to the night with the bag in his hand. He put the ones he got earlier in front of him one by one, and began to examine them carefully.

Needless to say, "Hua Jian Drunk" was the first thing he came into contact with, and it was also the one he had the most contact with.

But what Ge Ling gave himself was very conventional, a clay sculpture of a villain, which he smashed last night, and a piece of an old map inside was lying there.

More in line with the definition of a treasure map than anything else.

His eyes turned to the bag he got from Wu Xuancheng yesterday. There were two boxes in it, which he hadn't opened yet.

It is said that one belongs to him, and the other has always been in the Wu family.

According to Wu Xuancheng, Wu Xuanyu is currently taking care of the Wu family, so he directly gave the things to Wu Xuancheng.

Ge Huan opened the two boxes one by one, and found that the two were paintings. After looking at the signature, it was Zhang Boqin.

Ge Huan took out the two paintings and put them on the ground. After looking at them for a long time, Ge Huan felt that something was wrong. He stretched out his hand and switched the order of the two paintings and reversed their directions. In the end, he found that the contents of the two paintings were actually connected. Together.

After thinking about it, Ge Huan took out the contents of the bag he got today.

It was a piece of silk, like a handkerchief, but it was much larger than the handkerchief, and the color was reddish black, with some dark patterns faintly embroidered on it.

What the hell do these four unrelated things mean?

One for the Ge family, two for the Wu family, and one for Ge Ling. Now they are only short of the 'key' that was lost 16 years ago.

After thinking for a long time, Ge Huan couldn't figure out the whereabouts of the last 'key', so he could only give up and continue to study the things in his hand.

'Drunk among flowers' he already knew what mechanism it was.

Ge Huan poured the newly heated water into the teapot, waited until the water was completely filled, then poured it out, and repeated several times until the teapot was warm.Finally, pour the hot water from the teapot for the last time on the strange object with holes, and the hot air is ejected from the holes, making regular and strange sounds.

Then put the hot air on the woodcarving to bake, and the woodcarving will slowly turn red, and the body of the woodcarving actually began to slowly display words.

This was discovered by Ge Huan by accident before, but he didn't know what it meant before. Thinking about it now, it was probably a clue to the 'key'.

Looking at the bloody silk again, Ge Huan narrowed his eyes.

Holding the silk in one hand, he approached the two paintings. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ge Huan always felt that the dark lines on the silk were the content of the painting.

However, no matter how much, he didn't know.

Since then, Ge Huan has cut off the clues and no longer struggles with them.

After nearly a month, Ge Huan returned to Jiangcheng City.

And Wu Xuancheng also followed.

Those who went back together were Ge Xu and Zhou Zheng who had not yet regained consciousness.

And two months later, Ge Huan finally fulfilled the agreement with Ge Xu.

"Xiaohuan, you are finally willing to have a meal with me." Ge Xu said comfortingly.

"You dislike me for not keeping the promise, is it too late?" Ge Huan said coolly.

"How come. Come on, I ordered a lot of dishes you like."

"How do you know what I like to eat? Oh, by the way, Yang Yuan must have told you everything." Ge Huan poured cold water

Ge Xu was not embarrassed at all: "Well, Xiaoyuan cares about you very much."

Ge Huan stopped talking to him, but Ge Xu kept serving him food and talking, even if Ge Huan only occasionally um, oh, Ge Xu still said happily.

The atmosphere wasn't bad either.

The meal was eaten quickly, and Ge Huan leaned back, looking like an old man, with a lazy voice: "By the way, I actually wanted to ask before."

Hearing this, Ge Xu also put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and looked at him gently: "Huh? Tell me."

"Did you take the photos in my mother's room?"

Ge Xu paused, then nodded: "I took it."

"Where's the photo?"

Ge Xu's eyes were gentler than before: "Put it on the bedside."

Ge Huan's eyes darkened.

When Ge Xu returned to Jiangcheng City, he didn't choose any real estate, but directly moved into the old house where Ge Huan's mother and son lived.The room he lived in was also Bian Mengwen's previous bedroom.

"Give me the photo."

"Xiaohuan, that's the only photo I have of your mother and child."

"Then I don't care, it belongs to me and my mother."

Ge Xu lowered his eyes and was silent for a while: "Okay, if you insist."

The next day, Ge Huan went down to the old house accompanied by Wu Xuancheng.

"Xiaohuan, are you here?" Ge Xu greeted with a smile.

"I'll get the picture."

Ge Xu got up: "Wait, I'll get it."

After a while, Ge Xu brought the photo.

Ge Huan reached out to take it and looked at the photo.

Bian Mengwen in the photo is still the same, with a pale face but a very gentle smile, gently stroking Xiao Gehuan's soft hair, and Xiao Gehuan is also smiling very happily.

A warm picture.

"Are you leaving Jiangcheng?" Ge Xu asked.

Ge Huan lightly rubbed the photo, and found that Wu Xuancheng was also looking at him, thought for a while and said, "Well, I might go back to Shangquan."

Hearing this, a deep smile appeared in Wu Xuancheng's eyes.

But Ge Xu frowned and looked at Wu Xuancheng, not missing the joy in his eyes.

"Xiao Huan."

"Stop talking, I've already made up my mind." Ge Xu wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Ge Huan.

In the end, Ge Xu could only nod his head and stop interfering.

"I am leaving."

Ge Xu looked at him: "Will you stay a little longer?"

"No." Ge Huan refused very simply.

"Xiaohuan..."

Ge Huan stopped and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"Can you, let me take another look at the photo, one last time."

Ge Huan was startled, and stared at him for a while, not knowing what to say, and finally Wu Xuancheng patted him on the shoulder to come back to his senses.

Ge Huan's hand unconsciously rubbed the photo again, as if he had touched something, Ge Huan glanced at it.

He looked up again at Ge Xu who was looking at him, and finally handed him the photo: "Here, keep it well."

"You don't want it anymore?" Ge Xu didn't expect him to give up.

"Maybe it's better to keep it for you, don't lose it." Ge Huan sighed.

"Ah."

"What's the matter?" The two came out of the old house, and Wu Xuancheng asked as soon as they got into the car.

"There is a string of numbers on the frame of the photo just now."

"number?"

Ge Huan looked out the window: "I think that is the last 'key'."

"Then how could it be..." Wu Xuancheng was a little surprised.

"Maybe it was engraved by my mother. It's in the frame of the photo. The engraving is so small that you can't find it if you don't look carefully."

"Then why did you give it to your father again? Isn't this the last thing you need?"

Ge Huan was still looking out the window, but the reflection of the glass let Wu Xuancheng know that Ge Huan was not looking at anything, and his eyes had no focus.

"But that's a picture of me and my mother, how can I use it to find the 'key' that might not even exist."

What he didn't say was that besides the string of numbers, there were actually three names in it, his, Bian Mengwen's, and Ge Xu.

He thought that his mother must hope that the three of them could be together.

In the photo, he and his mother, as well as Ge Xu who was guarding by Bian Mengwen's side, could be regarded as three people together.

In this way, mother will be very happy.

Ge Huan thought this way, which is why he returned the photo to Ge Xu at the end.

So, in the end, Ge Huan didn't know what was behind the 'key', and of course, he didn't care.

And the person who knew the truth is long gone.
