[Gotham] She's from Gotham

【XVIII】

"Sir, history tells us that the winner is the king."

"And what about the losers, Professor?"

"The loser..." She paused. "I never cared about the life and death of the loser."

After a while, he said.

"Professor, I will not fail."

A lot of things were said and just said at the time.

Thinking about it later, it was nothing more than that.

Jade has recently started refusing to meet with Oswald.

The sociology professor's death didn't return the Dean of the Faculty to Jade, but that's beside the point.

A human life, Oswald handled her very well without leaving a trace.

"Do you love him?"

On the other end of the phone, her father asked her this.

Yu didn't speak, and after a while, she hung up the phone directly.

Three days later, Yin Rongshi came to Gotham.

That was Yu's older brother, the one his father had unswervingly chosen.

He came to see Yu with a good tone and a gentle attitude.

He said that his father still cared about Yu.

She took a sip of the tea she brought from home with a slight smile on her lips.

"Is it."

"Isn't it?"

Yin Rong asked back.

"You should go home, Xiaoyu."

"Then that old man should die too—"

She was slapped across the face, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

Yu turned his head and rubbed the corner of his mouth.

"Still pretending, it doesn't look like it anymore, you can't help it."

In this way, Yu was forcibly taken away by dragging her hair.

By the time the news reached Oswald, he was already at the pier.

Yu didn't struggle, on the contrary, she was unusually calm.

Because everything is under control.

So when the bullet pierced Yin Rongshi's brain, Yin Rongyu didn't panic at all.Blood spattered her face, and there was a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Oswald, do you know that I counted you in?"

Every time she said something that she didn't want him to know, she would speak Chinese.

"But now, I'm really a villain. Even worse than your methods."

She laughed.

"We're such a good match."

"Gotham has no agricultural support. It is a capital city that runs entirely on funds. How long do you think you can survive without your biggest business?"

At both ends of the long table, Yu twirled the pages of the book and asked him.And Oswald put his hands on his forehead, his eyes were cold and vicious.

After a while, he looked up at her, his eyes softened.

"I do not regret."

The thin pages fell from her fingers, and she looked away in a panic for the first time.

Maybe she is wrong.

Maybe how perfect it is at the beginning, but how unexpected and unbearable it will be later.

Extremes of things must be reversed, prosperity and extremes must decline.

[Actually, since that day, I always feel that our acquaintance has come to an end. 】

And they'll never know.

Now Oswald needs the absolute support of traditional gangster forces, and there are too many that have not yet been fully controlled.

So, Jade went to Rococo.

With the backing of a Falcone surname, she believed Oswald could turn the tide.

Because of life safety issues, Oswald recently refused to let Yu go out alone, and even sent her bodyguards a few less than his own.

But she still had a way of throwing them off.

"So...you are the one who stood at the door with Oswald that day?"

When Rococo said this, he just pushed Victor down on the grass.

The old lady who ushered her in smiled.

"The kid Rococo just likes to fight." Then he said something to Victor who just got up.

"Why are you making people angry again?"

Victor:? ? ?

The bewildered and aggrieved Victor was led out by his grandma, and Rococo walked up to Yu and wiped away the traces of fighting on the grass in the backyard.

"Why Oswald lost this business, you know better than anyone?"

This is Falcone.

As it should be.

Yu lowered the corner of his mouth.

"In any case, he needs you now, and you have to help."

"If I really want to help."

Rococo looked at her and added the second half of the sentence.

"I'll help him get rid of you, you deceitful coquette first."

Yu blinked, but the smile on the corner of his mouth remained unchanged.

"Whatever you say, go and help him."

Rococo smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, and walked around her.

The surname Falcone does have great influence and appeal, and Rococo's support represents the ownership and attachment of power.Oswald now has the capital to fight back.

But not enough.

Gotham is in chaos again, everyone wants him to step down, and now he is in a desperate situation.Oswald, too, hadn't seen her for a long time.

But they can't find any more bargaining chips.

There is also a solution, once and for all.

She suddenly felt very funny.I used to try my best to get rid of hypocrisy, but in the end I was more hypocritical than anyone else; I used to dedicate my sincerity without reservation, but in the end I was testing the sincerity of others.

I once longed for sincerity, but later got it, only to realize that I dare not want it at all.

Can't.

The hand holding the page trembled again, let go, and the wrinkled page tried hard to restore its original shape, but it was in vain.

"Father."

"what?"

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Yin was in a daze.

"My brother was killed by me."

The tone is calm and composed.

"Come and pick me up. I'm responsible for the trouble I caused."

"Yin Rongyu, do you know what you're talking about!"

"I know very well."

"it is good……"

It seems to be sighing.

"So you really love him."

When the phone was hung up, Yu couldn't support her body, and fell on the table all of a sudden.

Tears fell down the tip of his nose onto the table, and soon disappeared.

I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for everything that happened in the past.

But if I wasn't what I am now, how could I have met Oswald once?

She went to see him at night, wearing the same dress she wore when she first met him at Gotham University years ago.

The black long dress is so simple that there is no decoration, just like jade at first glance, indifferent and alienated.

"I know you are busy."

She was carrying a small box and stood at the door of his office.

"But just 10 minutes, okay?"

Rococo, who was so noisy that his head hurt, glanced at Oswald, who was also unhappy, and then at the woman at the door.

"Okay, everyone calm down."

She pushed Yu away and went out the door.

Then everything fell silent.

"If you happen to be angry—"

"—no I'm not angry now—"

"—then I made sugar water and herbal tea."

Yu looked at him, stunned for a moment, then shook her head helplessly and smiled.

"Then you don't want it?"

"I never said that."

Oswald stood up and walked over to her.

"long time no see."

"Ah, long time no see..." She lowered her head, then quickly raised her head to look at him.

"I didn't say that when I didn't see you for half a year before. It's only been a few days now?"

"No way, you can calm me down, and I need you more and more now."

The answer was irrelevant, but what he wanted to say.

Yu didn't speak, just took out a few small bowls and put them on the table.

"I remember that Mr. Zhang's pearl milk tea downstairs in my house is delicious."

"Oh, almost. It's all those things." Yu replied casually.

Oswald smiled, but his eyes gradually fell.

"Yu... are you okay?"

"Why, you rushed me away in less than 2 minutes?" She turned around and looked at him with a smile.

"Oswald, can't I come to you if I'm fine? Don't you...don't you miss me?"

His face suddenly became very strange.

"I thought you didn't want me—"

"You think you think you think."

Yu waved his hand.

"How do you know what I think?"

"But that's what you showed."

When you don't know what to answer, the truth is the best answer.

"Do not."

And Yu's answer is decisive.

The atmosphere froze.

"Why don't you try it?" She pushed the sugar water away.

Oswald walked over and was about to pick it up—Jade suddenly stood sideways in front of him, close enough to lean over for a kiss.

And Jade did exactly that.

Oswald froze for a moment, then chose to respond to the kiss.

"You've been getting harder and harder to see through recently."

He said.

"Really." She thought about it. "It seems to be true."

Then I added another sentence, suddenly and as a matter of course.

"I know that the kidnapping that day was arranged by you."

Oswald suddenly froze.

"But I pretended not to know, until today." She looked into those blue eyes that mixed wonder and surprise.

"Because you wanted to kill me, so I plotted against you once. This time."

"what?"

"Okay, Oswald, even if you were impulsive at the time, did you really not doubt it afterwards?"

The cold voice suddenly became sharp, and Oswald seemed to know her for the first time.

"I knew my father would send my brother to take me back, so I found the right time to provoke him and provoke him. You saw the slap in the face when he slapped me at the pier. Of course, I also counted that you would shoot."

"Oswald, as I said, you never really understood me. And the seemingly simple relationship between us is actually no less than the intrigue between you and those people."

"For business, you may not kill Yin Rongshi. But for me, you will."

She took a deep breath, supporting the smile that only the corner of her mouth was raised.

"Miss Falcone is right. I am indeed a liar who takes advantage of your feelings. You are selfish and hypocritical, but I am more selfish and hypocritical than you."

"I thought I would remember your brilliance. Unexpectedly, there are still more setbacks."

"Remember the humiliation, Professor." He looked at her. "You have to be by your side all the time to do it."

"Yes, sir."

finally she answered.

A lot of things were said and just said at the time.

Thinking about it later, it was nothing more than that.

So Oswald, I'm sorry, but I can't accompany you.
