The Deepest Color of the Night

Fang Jin's mind went blank, his whole body was stiff and unable to move.

"I think you are too messy. It should be because you are too busy to clean up, so I cleaned it up for you." Gu Mingzong asked with a smile: "——What's wrong?"

Fang Jin met his gaze, and Gu Mingzong had a slight smile in his eyes, as if he really wanted to know what was wrong with him.

——However, Fang Jin knew that for a man like Gu Mingzong, he would not even show the slightest sign before committing a murder.

The time passed by one second after another, but in just a few seconds, it was like an infinitely elongated slow motion in a movie, even the air froze and flowed under the huge pressure.Gu Mingzong was still waiting for his answer, not even a slight change in his leisurely posture, but there was a slight cold sweat oozing from Fang Jin's back.

He knew this was his last chance.

How to answer?

How should I answer to calm Gu Mingzong's suspicion and anger?

"Actually, this matter..."

Fang Jin said a few words, then stopped abruptly, and a vague but crucial thought flashed through his mind.

——Does Gu Mingzong really want to know about this matter itself?

Is he the kind of person who, once he catches a clue, doesn't follow the clues to investigate all the inside information, and then directly comes over to question and ask for an answer?

No.

The biggest possibility is that Gu Mingzong already knows everything, so what he wants now is not an answer, but an attitude.

The answer and attitude are two completely different things. What has been done cannot be changed, but the motivation can be expressed in many ways.If it were Gu Mingzong himself, why did he come here to ask a question when he knew all the inside information?

In other words, he wants to see his own attitude in the bankruptcy of Mingda Shipping, and even the tragic power struggle of the Gu family in the next few years?

Fang Jin grasped the most critical point in a flash, but on the surface, he only paused for half a second.

"...The house is really a bit messy, I didn't expect you to come here... But I hope you didn't see that thing."

Fang Jin paused, walked straight through the living room to the bedroom, and came to the bedside table.

His movements were calm and unhurried, and no one knew that when he opened the drawer at this moment, the muscles in his arms trembled slightly due to excessive tension.

"I bought this at an antique store before. It was just for fun. It's not a valuable thing. I wanted to find someone to polish it before giving it to you, but since you may have seen it, I won't Hiding it."

Fang Jin walked back to the living room, stood in front of Gu Mingzong, and stretched out his hand calmly.

——He held a piece of black velvet cloth flat on his palm, and there was a bright green jade ring on the cloth surface. If you look carefully, there are two jade rings, one big and one small, that are set together.The engraving of the ring is extremely warm and delicate, especially the patterns are so exquisite that they are stitched together tightly, forming four complete characters on the surface.

"You two are at peace." Gu Mingzong said slowly, with a look of interest in his eyes.

"The guy in the antique shop said that the quality of this jade is not considered old pit glass, but it is expensive because of the age and the carver. In ancient times, brothers or husband and wife wore this pair of rings, which means that the two people have the same meaning in their hearts. It has been in the store for a long time and has lost its luster, so I want to polish it, but if I wear it on my hand and play with it from time to time, it should be revitalized quickly."

Fang Jin walked around the coffee table and half-kneeled on the carpet in front of the sofa, holding the pair of jade rings in her slender white hands.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could actually catch a glimpse of the Vertu mobile phone on the coffee table, but his eyes didn't shift the slightest bit, he just looked at Gu Mingzong steadily, his eyes calm and calm.

There was silence in the living room. After a long time, Gu Mingzong seemed to find this very interesting. He finally picked up the ring and looked at it. He took out the one with the larger outer ring and squeezed it in his hand. Then he threw the smaller one back to Fang Jin: "I will You were right about what I said that day."

He paused, then smiled at Fang Jinxun's inquiring gaze: "I said that compared to Gu Yuan and Gu Yang, you are more like me."

Fang Jin didn't know how to answer these words at all, he was slightly stunned.

Gu Mingzong didn't seem to care, suddenly changed the subject, and asked with a smile: "Since you know that the pair of rings were worn along the coast in the south, do you know how to cook eagles in the north?"

"..." Fang Jin shook his head.

"Hawking hawks is related to hunting in the past. The main thing is to select young eaglets with particularly good seedlings, feed them out, and then tie them to a rope and stay awake all day long. When the young eaglets are extremely sleepy, they will fall off the rope. At this time, it is necessary to pour cold water and feed it with salt water to boil the eagle until it is exhausted and skinny; then it is blindfolded and fed meat. At this time, its wildness will be completely polished, and it will become intimate and tame from instinct. to the master."

"The most important thing during this period is two points. If anything is wrong, the eagle will not be able to survive: one is that the owner must not be soft-hearted, and if the heart is soft, all previous efforts will be wasted; the other is that the right eaglet was chosen from the beginning, but the wrong one was chosen. If you don't, you won't be able to become a strong and strong Falcon..."

Gu Mingzong paused, as if he was meditating on something, and after a while, he patted Fang Jin's cheek with great interest: "Why am I telling you this, you will understand later."

Fang Jin looked at him, a chill suddenly rose in his heart.

He knew that Gu Mingzong meant to let him go for now-even if this page has not been completely turned over, the most dangerous moment has been passed safely; however, for some reason, Gu Mingzong's words immediately aroused him deep in his heart. A vaguer, deeper uneasiness.

It was a vague guess, and he didn't dare to think about it.

He had an intuition that if he probed deeper, the meaning behind these words would definitely not be the one he wanted to believe.

"But next time you pay attention to tidying up, don't put everything at home."

Gu Mingzong put the jade finger in his hands, casually picked up Fang Jin's Vertu phone from the coffee table in front of him, as if he just grabbed a bunch of used waste paper, and threw it out with his hands lightly.

The mobile phone drew an arc in the air and passed through the living room, boom!It fell heavily into the trash can by the kitchen door.

"Throw it away when you have to," he said briefly. "There are too many old things, and it's not good for yourself."

Gu Mingzong stood up, and Fang Jin immediately stood up, because his eyes were shaking after squatting for a long time, but he immediately stood still and said: "Yes, I will remember next time."

Gu Mingzong stared at him condescendingly, his eyes fell from his drooping eyelashes to his graceful chin and neck, he stretched out his hand after a long while, and gently brushed the ends of his hair that brushed the pinna behind his ears.

·

At the same time, in the private hospital, Gu Yuan slammed the report on the table: "——Lu Wenlei is dead?"

"Yes—Yes, Young Master Gu." The bodyguard's voice was almost stiff and a little weird: "You were fine when you left last night, but this morning you suddenly suffered from heart failure. We immediately called the doctor, but the rescue was ineffective... "

"What caused heart failure? Lu Wenlei has high blood pressure or heart disease?"

The attending doctor tried to calm down in the office surrounded by a group of bodyguards, but he couldn't hide his trembling when he spoke: "Yes, yes... I have a heart attack, and I found it when I was admitted to the hospital. The preliminary examination showed that I had a heart attack in the morning. The cause of the failure, the specific reason needs further autopsy..."

Gu Yuan sat behind the large doctor's desk, the initial shock quickly passed, and was replaced by a chilling coldness.

"Check the medical records. From early morning to morning, who has entered the ward, what medicine has been used, and who has been in contact with patients, all of them are compiled into a detailed list and brought to me. In addition, ask your dean to adjust the security video of the ward now."

He paused, and said coldly:

"Immediate autopsy, I want a definite cause of death!"

Lu Wenlei's death was full of doubts. A patient who was hospitalized for observation due to a concussion had recovered well last night. How could it be possible that he suddenly had a heart attack and died a few hours later?

It would be even more impossible if there was some aftereffect from Gu Yuan's throwing knife - if everyone is awake, it means that the back of the head was not injured.Gu Yuan hadn't practiced acupuncture points in martial arts novels, so how could he beat someone to death after a few days!

Gu Yuan personally sat in the dean's office and watched the video frame by frame. However, from the time they left the hospital in the early morning to the sudden death in the morning, no one entered the middle ward except the bodyguards.As for the two bodyguards, they were also confidantes that Gu Yuan single-handedly picked up. They behaved well in the video without any changes, and they didn't even directly touch Lu Wenlei himself on the hospital bed.

Could it be that he really had a heart attack, purely due to bad luck?

Gu Yuan's two handsome eyebrows were tightly frowned, looking very gloomy, the dean and the attending doctor stood aside and dared not speak.

"When will the autopsy report be out?"

"We, we invited experts to help with the autopsy, and the day after tomorrow will definitely be able to..."

"Send the autopsy results to my desk tomorrow morning." Gu Yuan stood up, with a flat but irresistible tone: "If you can't deliver it, maybe this hospital can still operate as usual, but you, the dean, absolutely don't want to do it again." Got it, do you understand?"

The dean shivered for a moment, then nodded hastily: "Yes, tomorrow morning, the results will definitely come out tomorrow!"

Gu Yuan ignored him, strode out of the dean's office, and led the bodyguards outside through the long corridors of the hospital.

It was noon at this time, the sun was shining on the balcony at the end of the corridor, and the colorful tree shade was blurred in the light and shadow.When a group of people were standing in front of the elevator and waiting, Gu Yuan looked at the balcony, his expression was not knowing what he was thinking, and he suddenly asked after a long while: "—Where is Fang Jin?"

Looking at each other in dismay, Gu Yuan said, "Call him."

The bodyguard immediately took out his phone.

A group of people left the gate of the hospital, and the street was bustling with traffic. Gu Yuan looked at the crowd of people coming and going, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart—a few hours ago, it was still quiet in the middle of the night. It was full of fragrant grass and trees, and the moonlight was shining on the roof. Fang Jin held his hand tightly as if he was eagerly seeking attachment.

It seems that part of the thoughts stay at the moment when the breath is entangled, lingering and sad, and won't let go for a long time.

The bodyguard behind him finally gave up his efforts after making seven or eight phone calls. He lowered his head carefully and said, "Master, this...no one answered the phone, we can't contact the assistant above..."

Gu Yuan closed his eyes, opened them again after a while, and said without turning his head:

"It's okay, just drop by his house to have a look."

·

Fang Jin's home is not far from the hospital, to be precise, it is between the hospital and the company, and there is no detour to drive there.

Soon the car stopped downstairs of his hotel-style apartment, Gu Yuan called again, but still no one answered.

This is actually quite abnormal, because it is very rare for the other party to say that they don't answer the phone - he may have something urgent, or it may not be like what he said when he asked for leave, and he has something to go back to deal with at home; in any case, There's a fair chance he won't be home, so a visit isn't going to help.

Standing in the elevator, Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment, as if he suddenly realized that as the boss, it is not appropriate to rashly come to the assistant's house.

However, at this time, the coming has already come, and an inexplicable impulse subtly stimulated his brain, making him want to see Fang Jin very much.

He thought half a day of vacation was enough for Fang Jin, and Assistant Fang should have been following him all day, so why not even meet him after walking for half a day?

Even if he is really not at home, it doesn't matter, at least knock on the door to make sure and feel at ease.

The elevator door dinged open.There are only two families on the left and right on this floor. Gu Yuan came here when he was working overtime before. Knowing that it was the door on the left, he walked over and knocked directly: "Fang Jin? Fang Jin, are you there?"

There was no answer at the door, so Gu Yuan rang the doorbell again, but there was still no movement for a long time.

It turned out that he was really not at home.

Gu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, suppressed the strange sense of loss in his heart, turned around and twisted the doorknob—who knew that the twist didn't matter, the door opened itself with a click, and it turned out that it wasn't locked at all just now!

How is this going?

Gu Yuan was surprised, but after hesitating for a few seconds, he still couldn't help being curious, and finally opened the door and walked in: "Fang Jin! It's me, are you there?"

The living room is neat and tidy, with beige tables and chairs matching the light gold curtains and light wool carpet. It is connected to the open kitchen. The layout is small but neat. Only two sofa cushions are randomly thrown on the carpet.A corridor behind the living room leads to the bedroom, study room and bathroom. At this moment, the doors are all ajar, only the bedroom door is tightly closed.

"Fang Jin?"

Gu Yuan walked a few steps inside, and suddenly heard something.

He suddenly looked towards the bedroom, thinking for a moment that he had heard wrong; but then the voice sounded again, clearer and more obvious than before——

It was suppressed gasps and groans.

The voice had only appeared in his chaotic and hot dream a few hours ago, panicked, struggling and collapsing, making his blood racing and wanting to stop.A few hours later, the voice really appeared in the place separated by the door, so hurried and trembling, even more crazy than in the dream.

Yes, he heard correctly, it was Fang Jin.

——That was Fang Jin's panting sound.
