The Deepest Color of the Night

For many, it has been an unusually long night.

Looking out from the window on the second floor, the garden of the mansion is quiet, all the lights are off, and there is only a darkness that can't be seen, like the invisible sea, pressing everyone to the bottom of the sea.

From time to time, there was a sound like the sound of wind passing through the treetops in the distance, and it disappeared quickly.

It was actually a shot with a silencer.

Fang Jin turned around from the window, and saw Aken standing behind him staring at him vigilantly, and couldn't help laughing: "Why, are you worried that I will jump off?"

Aken didn't smile, "I really think so."

Fang Jin shook his head and smiled, and went to the bathroom to wash his face. Aken immediately stepped forward and closed the curtains tightly.Fang Jin said in the bathroom: "You think too much, I can't die at this time... At least I have to last longer than Gu Yuan's father, otherwise what will happen if the will is announced?"

After returning to his father, Fang Jin tried to revise the will left by Gu Mingzong, but soon found that it was almost impossible - Gu Mingzong's property designation inheritance letter had been notarized many times in different regions, except for lawyer Xue In addition, there are more than a dozen lawyers involved in the notarization process; these people may not all know what is written in the will, but if the terms are to be amended or abolished, there is absolutely no way to hide it from them.

That is to say, unless Gu's father suddenly regained his sanity to the point where he could amend the will, the possibility of Gu Yuan winning back the family through inheritance is almost zero.

Fang Jin covered his cheeks with a soft and cold towel, and wiped his face wearily after a while, only to see a few strands of hair sticking to the white towel.

Black and white are distinct and dazzling.Fang Jin stared at the hair for a while, then turned on the tap to rinse it away.

"You can't do this." Aken leaned one shoulder on the door frame of the bathroom, and said coldly: "If you really don't want Gu's family property, why not just leave the mess to Gu Yuan, and then go away and concentrate on treating disease, the possibility of being cured in the accelerated phase is not impossible..."

"To put it simply, how do you dump it?" Fang Jin laughed and said, "Point to Uncle Ji and tell Gu Yuan: This is your real father. Back then, he wanted to use my mother as a blood bag for your mother, which made my father almost agree to Gu Mingzong's request." Kill your father; many years later my parents were killed by your grandfather, I killed your grandfather, and then rescued your father who was about to die from his hand, now the money is given to you, and the property is also given to you , can you let me die to get medical treatment? ——What are you shaking your head for? Is there a better way to explain all this?"

Aken was silent for a moment, then admitted: "...No."

"That's right. The grievances have been entangled from generation to generation, and the only way to end it is to completely seal it up and leave all blood feuds in the past that no one knows... It won't take too long."

Fang Jin coughed a few times, threw the towel casually, and walked over Aken to the bedroom.

"—But," Aken suddenly turned to look at him: "If you are dead and Gu Yuan doesn't know anything, wouldn't it be..."

Isn't it what?

For Gu Yuan, the death of a person whom he loved and hated, who betrayed him, humiliated him, and left a strong mark in his life, is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Maybe he will be very relieved, as if a certain unbearable experience in his life has been completely overturned, and he will look forward from now on, and he will never miss it; or maybe he will be sad for a long time, but he is now engaged, and there will be a peaceful family in the future With the lovely child, no amount of sadness will slowly subside over time.

Akon was a little dazed.

For a while, he couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Treatment is not that easy." Fang Jin took off his coat in the bedroom and smiled while hanging it on the hanger: "The results of the first round of screening of the bone marrow bank came out, and no suitable type was found. No match was found..."

Akon's cheek twitched violently.

He knew that he should say a few words of comfort, but in an instant his mouth felt sore and he couldn't say anything.

"After my death, Gu Yuan may not be able to see you pleasingly, so I left you a sum of money. It's not too much, and it's enough for you to spend the rest of your life comfortably. If you can't stay in the mainland, you can go back to Vietnam. Let's go home."

Fang Jin paused, turned his back to Aken, and said, "It's just that after I die, you must not run to talk to Gu Yuan...It is much easier to hate a dead person than to love a dead person, understand? "

The room was silent, and it was only after a long time that Aken barely made a sound, saying, "...um."

Fang Jin smiled, sat on the recliner beside the bed, closed his eyes with his clothes closed.

·

There were sporadic things outside that night, and all kinds of movements never stopped.In the early hours of the morning, footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside the suite door, chaotic and hasty back and forth, and I didn't know what they were going to do; after a while, someone knocked on the door suddenly, and the sound was extremely loud, which immediately woke Fang Jin up.

He stood up abruptly, only to see Aken sticking to the wall behind the door, making a booing motion at him.

Fang Jin gently turned over and fell to the ground, when the knocking on the door suddenly stopped, and then - bang!

Locks are being smashed outside!

Fang Jin stepped forward quickly, only to hear the door panel trembling with loud bangs, and the vibration even brought dust to rustle down.

Aken and him looked at each other, and they both knew that if Gu Yuan hadn't changed the door lock reinforced by stainless steel in advance, the door would have been smashed open by now.Even so, the situation was still in dire straits, Aken clenched the gun in his hand, and at the moment when the veins on the back of his hand popped, the sound of slamming the door suddenly stopped!

"what--"

The voice was very hoarse, followed by a short and intense fight, and only a few seconds later, a heavy object fell to the ground and boomed!sound.

Immediately afterwards, the surroundings returned to silence, and even the sound of heartbeat and breathing could not be heard.

Fang Jin's chest heaved violently, like a demon, and he stepped forward gently.

Aken wanted to stop him but it was too late, he raised his hand and pressed on the door panel, listening quietly, his expression seemed a little distant and in a trance.

The people outside the door didn't move, didn't make a sound and didn't walk away. They seemed to be just standing there, wondering if they were also looking at the dark texture of the thick wooden door.After a long, long time, it seemed that even the dust in the air had stopped, and then there was a rustling sound coming from outside the door again, as if something heavy was being dragged on the ground.

Then the footsteps gradually walked away.

Fang Jin's hand was firmly pressed against the door, and there was a thick shadow behind the door. From Aken's angle, he couldn't see the expression on his slightly sided cheek; only his slender fingers were trembling, and each knuckle was showing Pale and pale.

·

After that, there was no movement outside. Aken persuaded Fang Jin to go to sleep for a while, and sat behind the door holding a gun, staring at the crumbling door without blinking.At the darkest time of five o'clock before dawn, there was finally the sound of unlocking the door from behind the door.

Aken stood up abruptly, and the next second the door opened, and several people appeared at the door.

——The leader is Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan's clothes were slightly disheveled, and there was still unfinished gunpowder smoke around his body, which was the smell of gunpowder after shooting.There was no expression on his straight and hard face, his eyes passed Akon, and looked straight at Fang Jin who was curled up under the blanket in the recliner in the bedroom.

For some reason, that gaze made Aken's heart skip a beat.

"... Young Master Gu." The mercenary leader took half a step forward, Ruo Ruowu blocked Gu Yuan's way: "Thank you for protecting our safety, it seems that the matter of the Ke family is over? Then let's not bother, now Immediately set off back to the mainland..."

Gu Yuan stepped forward, and Aken blocked him like lightning: "Young Master Gu!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Aken stared closely at Gu Yuan's eyes, and said word by word: "I must take the boss home, you—"

Gu Yuan's lips flicked a curve that could almost be called contempt.At the same time, several people stepped forward to hold down Aken, and pushed him to the side forcibly, and then Gu Yuan lifted his feet and walked towards the reclining chair.

At this time, the movement had awakened Fang Jin, he hadn't slept well, and when Gu Yuan's footsteps stopped by the recliner, he was sitting up in a daze.The blanket slipped off his body, and two buttons were loosened at the neckline of the shirt, revealing the gracefully curved neck below the snow-white earlobes, and a silver chain hidden deep in the collarbone, shining with subtle light.

Gu Yuan looked down at him from above, his cold, blade-like eyes didn't even blink.

Fang Jin rubbed his sleepy eyes, then raised his head to meet Gu Yuan's gaze.

In the dark, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and from a high point of view, the eyelashes were long and slender, and the watery light in the depths of his pupils was like a mist, enough to make one sink deeply into it.

Gu Yuan looked away, only to hear Fang Jin gently ask: "...is it all over?"

"No." After a long silence, Gu Yuan said, "It's just that the fight is over, now we need to sit down and talk."

After all, Ke Rong has been in business for many years. Even if Gu Yuan has a lot of branches to support him, it will be difficult to kill him overnight. The rest is just a division of interests.Although the proportion of carve-up depends on the result of the actions just now, according to common sense, if Gu Yuan did not have the absolute upper hand, it would be impossible to rush over at this moment.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard, and the ticking of the clock in the corner was very clear.

Aken stared at them tightly, because his nerves were so tense that he even held his breath.

"I'll take you out." I don't know how long it took, but Gu Yuan opened his mouth abruptly, turned around and said, "Now that the guards have finished changing, your men and cars are already at the door, let's go."

——For Akon, this sentence was nothing less than a reassurance, and he immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

Fang Jin didn't say anything.Behind Gu Yuan, he lifted the blanket and got off the recliner, because his movements were very slow, which gave people an illusion similar to nostalgia.

·

There was silence in Ke's garden, the sky was dark, but the distant sky was glowing with a faint gray light, and birds were flying over from the distant horizon.

Gu Yuan strode ahead, without even looking back, he walked straight through the dew-stained grass and gravel road.I saw that the big iron gate of the manor had already been opened, and the red rose branches at the engagement ceremony were still wrapped around the iron fence, as if it was the only noisy color in this dark and clean world.

The three black RVs sent by the Gu family were lined up at the bottom of the steps. Aken walked a few steps and opened the door first.

Gu Yuan stopped at the top of the steps, Fang Jin passed him by, and suddenly he only heard him ask: "Where is your ring?"

He was talking about the pair of rings.

Fang Jin's footsteps stopped suddenly, and his voice was slightly tense because of vigilance: "...what?"

Gu Yuan said, "You should give it back to me."

The voice was obviously not loud, but it made Fang Jin's eardrums buzz, and his throat was so blocked that he couldn't even utter a word.

It took him a while to barely utter a few words: "I can't find it."

—I can't find it.

Gu Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the sky. In the early morning of late autumn, the damp wind swept across the city, whizzed past the steps, and raised his blood-stained collar.

"When I arrived in Hong Kong from the sea," he said suddenly, as if he was narrating someone else's story: "Because I was shot and lost a lot of blood, I was extremely unconscious. When I was sent to the hospital for treatment, I was already in a coma. Later I heard from the doctor that luckily the rescue was done in time, and if the delivery was half an hour late, the consequences would be unforeseen, and I can’t decide whether I can stand here today.”

"Then when I was in the hospital, I kept thinking about you. I thought why did you come to be my assistant, why did you do your best for me, and then why did you fight back at the last moment, and turned towards you without looking back? The status, power and Wanguan family property are gone—the things that Gu Mingzong gave you are so tempting?"

Fang Jin's vision was blurred, an indescribable bitterness spread from his heart to the base of his tongue, and even his breathing was convulsively painful.

"Gu Yuan..."

"Later I figured it out," Gu Yuan said lightly, "Everyone has their own pursuits, and what I want to give may not necessarily be what you want, and what you want may not necessarily be what I can give—the human heart is subtle, the desire for love Greed, the relationship in this world is like this."

"You betrayed me now for power and wealth, which means that you are after these things. Then I will give you more money and status in the future, and you come back to be my lover, how about it?"

Fang Jin stood on the steps with his back to the gate of the villa.His chest heaved violently, and the cold air shuttled back and forth in his trachea like a knife, until the rust-like boiling blood flowed up his throat; but when he spoke, his voice was strangely calm: "...No, Gu far, I am now... now this is good..."

"Miss Chi is a good girl, please spend time with her...have children and support her until she grows old..."

Fang Jin stopped trembling, he couldn't go on anymore, he rushed down the steps as if he was running away, and walked towards the Gu family's convoy by the road.

However, just as he was about to get into the car, he suddenly heard Gu Yuan's voice from behind him: "Fang Jin!"

Fang Jin turned his head and saw Gu Yuan standing on the top of the stone steps condescendingly, taking off the pair of rings on his ring finger.

"..."

Fang Jin suddenly realized something at that moment, he froze suddenly, and then saw Gu Yuan throwing the ring in front of him!

Jingle!

The ring fell to the ground and rolled away, the sound was extremely soft, and it was like a hammer fell to the ground, smashing Fang Jin's heart into bloody mud in an instant.

His eyes were dark, but his mind was completely blank. In a trance, he saw a familiar figure not far away turning his head and walking away.

——Gu Yuan left without saying anything.

·

The convoy headed for the pier, speeding through the gray streets in the early morning. Tramways, lampposts, and closed shops flew away, leaving the sleeping city far behind.

Fang Jin sank deeply into the back seat, and with trembling hands, he took out the silver chain from his collar, and there was a ring on the end!

Tears kept rolling down from his eyes, soaking his entire face, but he couldn't even cry out because of the heavy choking.His whole body convulsed silently and violently, his already extremely thin body curled up tightly, he only held the ring firmly in his hand, and kept kissing it.

This is his last property.

He remembered the first time he went to be Gu Yuan's assistant, he stood in the crowd and looked at that man humbly, how rich and happy he was at that time.

Fang Jin's throat kept gushing blood, because he couldn't even swallow in time for crying, some of it kept flowing down the corner of his mouth, soaking through the ring and flowing down his wrist from between the fingers covering his mouth, bringing a shocking color of blood in the carriage.

I must be ugly, he thought.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan didn't see it.

It's really ugly...

·

The sky finally turned pale, and Chi Qiu walked along the driveway to the gate of the villa, only to see that the road outside the community was empty, and there was only one figure walking back and forth among the grass with a flashlight.

He searched so carefully, turning over every inch of grass, even the most hidden dirt and stones; and his expression was so focused, as if no one or anything could enter his sight at this moment middle.

Chi Qiu stood there.

After a long time, Gu Yuan finally stopped and picked up something from a piece of barley more than ten meters away. It was a shiny ring—he held it in his hand and looked at it quietly for a while before finally throwing down the flashlight. Slowly put it back on the ring finger.

The sky and the earth are silent, the remnant stars at the end of the sky break the dawn, and the light slowly spreads from afar.

The city is about to wake up in a new day.

——At this moment, Gu Yuan was kneeling among the grass, covering his eyes with his ring-wearing hand, and did not move for a long, long time; that moment of silence was frozen under the sky, like the last dim silhouette in the depths of the night.
