Excessive

The room was filled with smoke, and there was a pile of freshly lit cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table, and there was another one, which was held by Lu Zhenqing in his hand, and was quietly lit.

It's past one o'clock in the morning, Lu Zhenqing doesn't feel sleepy at all, he has insomnia.

Lu Zhenqing couldn't explain the reason, but he always felt an inexplicable irritability in his heart, and he tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.He got up and went to the study to read the book for a while. He just turned two pages and then put it down. Apart from smoking, he couldn't find a way to calm himself down.

On the right side of Lu Zhenqing's bedroom is the guest room. It is said that it is a guest room, but almost no one has lived in it. This residence is far away from the urban area. When people come to visit, they usually go directly to Lu's house. So many rooms were wasted.

But there were still people who slept here. Lu Zhenqing didn't have the habit of bringing people home, and he never even brought people home who had a fixed relationship. Du Shuyao was an exception.

Lu Zhenqing's selection criteria are very simple and clean.One is that he is clean and handsome, and the other is that he has never been with anyone else.Probably every man has this kind of plot, and so does he, which is very important to him.

These two words are clearly reflected in Du Shuyao, and Lu Zhenqing can tell it at a glance without even checking.For a relationship like theirs, it might be easier to find a hotel to solve it, but Lu Zhenqing brought him back the first time, because of the Du family's relationship and Du Shuyao's reasons.

Although Du Shuyao was not in Du Wen's eyes, at least he was the eldest son of the Du family and Du Zhengyang's elder brother, so naturally he couldn't be the same as those little lovers he kept.In addition, he rarely misjudged people. The first impression Du Shuyao gave him was very good.Lu Zhenqing hadn't seen this kind of pure feeling for a long time.

Du Shuyao's attitude surprised Lu Zhenqing. Lu Zhenqing thought he would protest, but in fact Du Shuyao also resisted, but it could be seen that he accepted it in his heart.This made Lu Zhenqing not quite understand.

He was really worried, as soon as he closed his eyes, Du Shuyao looked flushed under him, his thin bones were highlighted under the warm light, the red marks and slight trembling caused by his own bites, how could he look like this Can show others.

Lu Zhenqing became hard just thinking about it.

Yes.

He regretted it.

Lu Zhenqing barely thought about it, picked up the car keys and went out without even putting on his coat.The deep black Mercedes-Benz galloped on the street at midnight, and stopped at the entrance of a certain hotel after passing several unoccupied intersections.

The room is empty.

The bed was a mess with blood-stained sheets.

He is late.

After a sleepless night, Lu Zhenqing didn't go to the company the next day, but just processed some documents at home and left other things to his assistant.

Around noon, the phone rang, and it was Du Zhengyang calling.

"Hello, Brother Lu."

"Huh? Why call me when you have time?" Lu Zhenqing teased that he hadn't contacted Du Zhengyang for a while, and the latter had been busy rehearsing school dramas recently.

Du Zhengyang said poorly: "I miss you."

Lu Zhenqing has already guessed Du Zhengyang's nature, so he will not call him if there is nothing to do, every time he is either asked Lu Zhenqing to take him to play, or let Lu Zhenqing accompany him to the movies, "You, tell me, what's the matter? "

"Hey, is Brother Lu free today?"

"What? Where do you want to go again?"

"No, there is something important today."

"Could it be your birthday?"

"You guessed right! But it's not me, it's my brother, brother Lu, let's go together and give my brother a surprise..."

"..."

Lu Zhenqing was at a loss for words and couldn't say anything for a moment.

"Brother Lu? Are you listening?"

"Ah."

"I want to buy a cake first, and then..."

"Zhengyang, my side...something is going on temporarily, and I may not be able to leave."

Du Zhengyang was a little disappointed when he heard this, and complained: "Huh? That's it, but it's just me and my brother every year, so boring."

"I..." Lu Zhenqing couldn't find an excuse, but he couldn't face Du Shuyao now, especially on this special day.

"Brother Lu, you go, brother should be very happy to see you."

"... Will it?" Of course not, it is estimated that Du Shuyao saw him beat him up now, but with Du Shuyao's temperament, at most he would ignore him.

"Of course, you go."

"I'm still working."

"Brother Lu, you can go, otherwise, who will accompany me to buy cakes?"

Lu Zhenqing thought about it, he couldn't see Du Shuyao all his life, so he agreed.

"…OK then."

dong dong dong.

Holding the cake, Du Zhengyang stood at the door of Du Shuyao's house and knocked on the door three times in a row, but it was quiet inside and no one opened it.

"Huh? Isn't brother at home?" It shouldn't be, he called Chen Han before he came, and he clearly said that his brother had no work today.

"Maybe I went out with my friends." Lu Zhenqing said this with a guilty conscience. He usually dominates the shopping malls, but now standing in front of Du Shuyao's house, he feels as if he is sitting on pins and needles.

"No...wait, I should have brought the key, I'll look for it." Saying this, Du Zhengyang handed the cake to Lu Zhenqing, rummaged through the bag by himself, and finally found the key after fiddling for a long time.

Opening the door, a pair of leather shoes were placed in a mess at the door, and the coat was thrown on the sofa casually. It was obvious that someone was at home, but Du Shuyao was nowhere to be seen.

"Brother?" Du Zhengyang called out twice, but no one answered.

"Did you go out to buy something?"

"Ahem...he might not be at home." Lu Zhenqing said with a guilty conscience, he knew better than anyone what might have happened yesterday, maybe Du Shuyao is still awake in the hotel.

Du Zhengyang nodded, he decided to put the cake in the refrigerator first, and then call his brother.When passing by the bedroom, he was very careful once, and noticed that the door of Du Shuyao's room was open, so Du Zhengyang walked in to have a look.

"Ah—" The cake in Du Zhengyang's hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

"What's the matter?" Hearing his voice, Lu Zhenqing walked over worriedly.

"Brother, he..." Du Zhengyang didn't know how to describe it, so he let him see for himself.

Only then did Lu Zhenqing see Du Shuyao lying on the bed, no, to be precise, it was Du Shuyao lying on the bed.

There were wet spots on the bed, a crumpled shirt with a button missing, wet trouser legs, and a lifeless face.

"Call 120." Lu Zhenqing felt extremely calm at the moment.

"Okay..." But Du Zhengyang's hand that even dialed the number was trembling.

"Brother...what's the matter?" Du Zhengyang's tears were already falling down, he had never thought about this kind of scene, his brother was lying there, like a person who stopped breathing.

"It's okay." Lu Zhenqing patted him on the shoulder, telling him not to worry. In fact, it was just comfort.

He couldn't take a step forward, his feet seemed to be entangled by something, he wanted to touch the person in front of him, but he felt that the person would disappear as soon as he touched it.

Too fragile.

hospital.

As soon as the doctor came out of the emergency room, Du Zhengyang asked anxiously: "Doctor, how is my brother?"

"Pneumonia caused by persistent high fever will require hospitalization for observation for a period of time."

"is it serious?"

"Fortunately, it was delivered in time, and there is no serious problem."

Du Zhengyang wanted to ask his brother when he would wake up, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Lu Zhenqing. He took the payment slip from the doctor and said thank you.

When Lu Zhenqing went to pay the fee, Du Zhengyang pushed open the door of the ward, and his brother was lying on the bed, drip by drop, drip by drop, in his thin hands with obvious veins.

He didn't know what happened, even before today, he had never seen his brother seriously ill, and he never thought that one day, his brother would need his care.

When Lu Zhenqing came back after paying the fee, he saw Du Zhengyang sitting on the stool beside the bed, holding Du Shuyao's fingers distressedly, "Zhengyang, I have something to take care of, can you take care of your brother?"

Lu Zhenqing decided to leave first, I am afraid that when Du Shuyao wakes up, he is the last person he wants to see.

"Yes, Brother Lu, don't worry." Du Zhengyang nodded firmly.

Lu Zhenqing looked at Du Shuyao on the hospital bed, wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it.

"Hey, Mr. Guo, Mr. Lu is visiting..."

"Boss Lu, you can't go in..."

"Boss Lu..."

Lu Zhenqing didn't listen to the front desk at all, the secretary trotted all the way, but Lu Zhenqing was tall and tall and walked fast, the female secretary couldn't stop him with high heels.

Guo Anbai was planning to go to a meeting, when he heard the call from the front desk, he knew that the meeting would not be held today, and before he had time to notify, he saw Lu Zhenqing rushing in.

"Sorry, I…"

"It's okay, you can go out first and notify all departments that today's meeting will be cancelled."

"Okay." The female secretary saw the seriousness of both of them, and knew that the situation was not good, so she didn't dare to wait for a second.

Guo Anbai sat on the office chair, looked at Lu Zhenqing glaring at him, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Zhenqing was already full of anger, and seeing him like this made him even more annoyed.He strode over and grabbed his collar, asking angrily, "What did you do to him?!"

Faced with Lu Zhenqing's questioning, Guo Anbai was not surprised.Tiandi forensic testified that he really did nothing to Du Shuyao. Early this morning, when he knocked on the door of the next room, the people inside had already left.Guo Anbai didn't have his phone number or address, and he didn't even have a place to look for him. He wanted to ask Lu Zhenqing, but he didn't expect Lu Zhenqing to come to him first.

But it was rare for him to see Lu Zhenqing so angry once, how could he be so cheap, so he made a look of aftertaste, "Can't Mr. Lu guess what I did?"

Of course Lu Zhenqing could guess, thinking of Du Shuyao lying on the hospital bed, and thinking of Du Zhengyang's red and swollen eyes from crying, he wished he could kill Guo Anbai.After being in the circle for so long, he knows that some people have some hobbies, and he has seen it himself, but he has no interest in this kind of sadistic behavior, and even feels disgusted. Shuyao did such a thing, but he didn't expect Guo An to have such a face under his appearance.

Guo Anbai didn't know what Lu Zhenqing was thinking, how could he think that Lu Zhenqing regarded him as a torturer and had completely added himself to the blacklist, "What? Mr. Lu regretted it?"

Regret?

Lu Zhenqing was choked up by his question, he didn't know how to describe this feeling, although he and Du Shuyao also had several unpleasant experiences, but it was the first time he saw people being tossed like this.

He regretted it.

"Bastard." Lu Zhenqing punched Guo Anbai in the stomach, and the latter couldn't dodge in time, so he was punched hard.

Guo Anbai didn't know what happened and was beaten in vain, but he is not a person who will suffer, immediately, he reacted and punched Lu Zhenqing back in the face.

The two are about the same height, and if they wrestle together, they will be evenly matched.

Lu Zhenqing was full of anger, and before he could make a move, Guo Anbai sneered and mocked, "Shouldn't President Lu be happy without my competitor?"

"President Lu still wants me to remind him, who made him do this?"

Lu Zhenqing raised his hand and didn't hit it down.

"Lu Zhenqing, the person in this world who has the least qualifications to say anything about me is you."

After Guo Anbai finished speaking, he called the security guard. The female secretary saw something wrong early on and asked the security guard to wait at the door. As soon as Guo Anbai finished speaking, the security guard rushed in, but no one dared to touch Lu Zhenqing.

"see a visitor out."

"No, I'll go by myself."

Lu Zhenqing adjusted his clothes unwillingly and strode away.

Guo Anbai was a little baffled, could it be that something happened to Du Shuyao?
