Highly toxic

Jiang Mu was a little baffled by Geng Yan's words.

"Tell... tell me what this is for." Jiang Mu said coldly, "Are you showing off to me?"

Geng Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he finally sighed, "Okay, it's my fault, I should have cut to the chase with an idiot like you."

"..."

"I said I have the capital to help He Qianyan win this battle, don't you want me to help him?"

"You have enmity with Brother Yan, you... how could you make a move."

Geng Yan chuckled, "Since I said such a thing, it must mean that there is such a possibility

Jiang Mu's face was full of defense, "Who knows what...you are planning in your heart, maybe you are planning to cheat brother."

Geng Yan tapped his fingers on the table leisurely, and said in an unhurried manner, "He Qianyan is smarter than you, I really want to help him, the specific plan must be negotiated with him face to face, the point is whether I will step out or not." The step of negotiating with him."

"Don't say it's helping Brother Yan, if you make a move, it will... definitely be for some benefit."

"Of course, Zhengsheng Group is so fat after all, but if He Qianyan really inherited everything from his stepfather, what he gave me is nothing worth mentioning, at least compared to losing nothing after losing the battle. Assistance will be what he can't wait for."

"Since it's a mutually beneficial transaction, you should talk to Brother Yan about this kind of thing. Tell me what it means..."

"To tell you the truth, that woman Tong Wan came to beg me." While speaking, a sneer flashed in Geng Yan's eyes, "Kneeling again is saying that blood is connected and brotherly love is deep, although I don't know if she is They came here behind He Qianyan's back, but what is certain is that He Qianyan's side is indeed in a state of desperation right now, and if they can ask me, their current situation is very pessimistic."

Jiang Mu couldn't help feeling anxious in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face. He knew that Geng Yan would not say these things to himself for no reason, and he had to ensure that his emotions would not be led away by Geng Yan.

"Then... have you promised Auntie?"

"Why should I promise?"

"That's your kiss..." In the middle of speaking, Jiang Mu suddenly remembered the entanglement between Geng Yan and his original family, and suddenly said with a complicated expression, "So you don't want to help brother Yan, then...then tell me something now What are you doing..."

"Of course I want to help him. Zhengsheng Group's piece of meat is right in front of me. How can I not want to share in it?"

"Then you still..."

"I just want to convey my meaning to He Qianyan through you." Geng Yan's eyes flickered darkly, "Just tell him that I want to talk to him."

"Why...why should I convey it? You...you should..."

"If you don't want to, forget it. I didn't say anything tonight." Geng Yan said, "Whether He Qianyan can become Zhengsheng's heir has nothing to do with me."

After Geng Yan finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave, but the result was as he expected, before he even took a step, Jiang Mu stopped him.

"Wait." Jiang Mu hesitated and said, "I... If I help you contact Brother Yan, you... you really know how to make a move?"

Geng Yan straightened his clothes and sat down again, "Of course, you don't have to doubt my motives, after all, I didn't help him for nothing."

Jiang Mu was silent for a while, "Okay, I...I will pass your words on to Brother Yan."

"It's fine if He Qianyan pretends to be lofty and doesn't want to cooperate with me, but if he agrees..." Geng Yan stared at Jiang Mu, and said with deep meaning, "I won't answer his phone, I want you to call him." Answer, send it to me in person."

"This... why is it so troublesome?"

"Is it troublesome? Oh, it may require you to run errands back and forth. It's a little troublesome."

At this moment, Jiang Mu just wanted to tell He Qianyan the news as soon as possible. No matter what ideas Geng Yan was planning, as long as He Qianyan gave him a direction, he would be able to go on unswervingly.

Geng Yan asked the waiter for a pen and paper, and wrote his new personal number and the address of a hotel on it.

"Up here..."

"Give me a message tomorrow at the latest." Geng Yan interrupted Jiang Mu, "If you don't agree, you don't need to reply. If you agree, go to the restaurant downstairs of the hotel and tell me in person at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

Jiang Mu didn't answer immediately, but whispered, "I...I'll tell Brother Yan first."

"Then wait for your news."

Geng Yan got up again, and when he was about to leave the table, Jiang Mu suddenly said, "Wait...wait a minute."

Geng Yan stopped and turned to look at Jiang Mu.

Jiang Mu also stood up, and said sincerely, "If...if I offended you before, I...I apologize to you now, I'm sorry."

If the cooperation between Geng Yan and He Qianyan can really be facilitated, then perhaps the brotherhood between Geng Yan and He Qianyan can be gradually repaired.

At this moment, Jiang Mu sincerely hoped to turn the quarrel with Geng Yan into friendship. He is really not a person who can hold grudges. The next half is the psychological burden.

Of course, there's no need to be friends, after all, he and Geng Yan's temperament are indeed at odds, so it's good to just be passers-by, and the world will be peaceful if they don't interfere with each other's lives.

Facing Jiang Mu's sincere gaze, Geng Yan chuckled, "I remember just now someone said they were going to put the butter pan on my face, did I hear it wrong?"

"I...I just...just..." Jiang Mu's face turned green and pale, and finally he whispered discouragedly, "I'm sorry."

"Don't worry, I have a clear distinction between public and private." Geng Yan said, "I only do business on the same level as money. If I really want to make a deal with He Qianyan, I will definitely cooperate with him with sincerity. As for the personal grievances between us..."

Jiang Mu really wanted to ask at this moment, what kind of so-called personal grievances could Geng Yan have with him, obviously he had never suffered any losses from him, but his life was messed up instead.

It was he, Jiang Mu, who should complain.

"As for our personal grievances." Geng Yan said, "I will calculate it separately."

Geng Yan turned and left.

Zhuang Xi, who had been waiting on an empty seat not far away, saw Geng Yan leave the table, quickly got up and returned to the original seat, and couldn't wait to ask Jiang Mu what he and Geng Yan talked about just now.

Facing Zhuang Xi's questioning, Jiang Mu didn't reveal anything.

After eating the hot pot, Zhuang Xi wanted Jiang Mu to go to the night market with him for fun. Jiang Mu found an excuse to go back, and finally parted ways with Zhuang Xi who was going to the night market.

On the way back to the apartment, Jiang Mu called He Qianyan and conveyed what Geng Yan said on the table to He Qianyan.

He Qianyan on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and finally asked Jiang Mu to find him in his apartment, and he was ready to go back immediately.

Hearing that he was going to He Qianyan's apartment, Jiang Mu felt a little nervous...

Tension mixed with fear.

In the end, Jiang Mu obediently came to He Qianyan's apartment, because he came back before He Qianyan, so Jiang Mu directly opened the door with the key He Qianyan gave him.

Before He Qianyan came back, Jiang Mu had been quietly sitting on the sofa waiting, just looking at the blue-gray coffee table in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the scene that night...

No matter how much he comforted himself, the memory of that night was like a cloud of haze that lingered in Jiang Mu's heart.

However, Jiang Mu has silently decided that if He Qianyan makes such a request next time, he must carefully express his dislike.

Jiang Mu waited for nearly half an hour, and He Qianyan came back.

He Qianyan was dressed in a slim and capable dark business suit, with a laptop bag in his hand, and when he entered the door to change his shoes, he immediately said to Jiang Mu, "Tell me again what you said on the phone."

As soon as Jiang Mu saw He Qianyan's serious expression, he knew that He Qianyan really needed Geng Yan's foreign aid, so he quickly repeated what Geng Yan said at the dinner table.

"If I agree, you have to convey my meaning." He Qianyan looked at Jiang Mu, "Is that what you mean?"

Jiang Mu nodded, "Brother Yan, you...do you think this is deceitful?"

"There will be no cheating, but his offer will definitely not be low, and he is sure that I will accept it." He Qianyan leaned on the sofa, eyes closed, "He must know my current situation well."

The moment he decided to return to the He Family Company, He Qianyan was already ready to fight for the family property. This should have been a step-by-step protracted battle. Being able to gain a firm foothold in Zhengsheng and move closer to being the heir of the He family, however...

However, no one expected that He Zhengkun's downfall would be so sudden, which made this battle for the top position start nearly ten years earlier.

"Brother Yan, then your decision is..."

"Although he is unwilling to be robbed by him, but if he wants to win, he has no choice." He Qianyan opened his eyes, looked at Jiang Mu, who had a gentle face in front of him, and said softly, "Xiao Jiang, do you know why he wants you to be the middleman?"

Jiang Mu frowned, "Because of the past, he...he still hates me, I think he should..."

"No, he doesn't hate you." He Qianyan's dark pupils reflected a deep and strange light in the light, "He likes you, or, he is interested in you."

Jiang Mu looked surprised, "No...not Brother Yan, he...he really just hates me, he...he talks to me very badly."

"This cooperation is supposed to be a win-win situation, and has nothing to do with you, but he forced you to participate and put forward such conditions. You don't want to understand why?"

"..."

"He wants to separate me from you. To be precise, he wants me to break up with you." He Qian said, "In this way, he can approach you in a legitimate way and replace me."

Jiang Mu felt it was ridiculous, but he knew that He Qianyan would never make unfounded speculations, so he must have seen something.

"He... He is not afraid of trouble after spending so much time."

"It's not troublesome for him. Cooperation itself is destined. It's just that he pulls you in by the way, thinking that the final benefit will be with you, both of you."

"But how could I be nice to him, I... I don't want to see him at all. "

"Maybe he just wants me to break up with you this time." He Qianyan stretched out a hand towards Jiang Mu and said softly, "Xiao Jiang, get closer to me."

Jiang Mu gently moved to He Qianyan's side.

He Qianyan put his arms around Jiang Mu's waist, and kissed him lightly on his temples.

"Xiao Jiang, let's get married."

Jiang Mu suddenly raised his head and looked at He Qianyan in disbelief.

He Qianyan kissed the corner of his lips, his magnetic voice was sexy and gentle, "Go get the certificate at dawn, and we will make it public when this matter is over."

Jiang Mu's heart surged violently, and his eyes turned red without warning, "Yan... is brother Yan serious?"

"Yes, I love you, Xiao Jiang, and I want you to feel my sincerity towards you as soon as possible..." He Qian said, "In this way, no matter what happens next, you must know that I believe in you."

Jiang Mu hugged He Qianyan's waist with both hands, arched his head under He Qianyan's neck, choked up and said, "I believe in Brother Yan, I will always believe..."

This cautious love finally waited for the day to bear fruit.

That night, He Qianyan was probably too nervous and exhausted recently, so he just slept with Jiang Mu in his arms and did nothing.

……

In the afternoon of the next day, Jiang Mu met with Geng Yan at the restaurant of the hotel requested by Geng Yan. After conveying what He Qianyan explained, Geng Yan gave Jiang Mu a document and asked Jiang Mu to pass it on to He Qian Word.

Jiang Mu saw Geng Yan's conditions in the document, and immediately said with a livid face, "You...you are taking advantage of the fire."

Geng Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Otherwise, why would I make a move? Wouldn't it be nice to see him turn into a stray dog?"

"You and brother Yan are..."

"Brother?" Geng Yan sneered, "I advise you to say less about this in the future, and you'd better be more polite to me now, if I don't even have the mood to rob you, just wait and see what happens to your boyfriend It's a complete failure."

"..."

In an instant, Geng Yan regained his weird and innocent smiling face, "How about going to my apartment tonight and cooking me a meal?"

"you do……"

Before the word "dream" came out, Jiang Mu stopped it in time. He pursed his lips and struggled for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice, "I...I want to think about it."

"it is good."

As he spoke, Geng Yan wrote down the address of his apartment on a blank piece of paper.

"Come over tonight and tell me He Qianyan's answer by the way. Don't worry, it's just a meal. I won't do anything." Geng Yan smiled, "I'm a good citizen."

"..."

After leaving the hotel, Jiang Mu handed the document Geng Yan had given him to He Qianyan.

He Qianyan had no objection to the conditions offered by Geng Yan. He immediately asked Jiang Mu to contact Geng Yan and asked Geng Yan to meet with him tomorrow to finalize the details of the next "cooperation".

Jiang Mu told He Qianyan that Geng Yan asked him to go to him at night.

"I... I was worried that he would... give up cooperating with Brother Yan in a fit of anger, so... he didn't refuse immediately." Jiang Mu whispered, "So... just think about it, Brother Yan, I... I How to do?"

He Qianyan's expression was not as serious or displeased as Jiang Mu had expected, it was calm as if everything had been in his expectation.

In fact, last night, after He Qianyan finished his plan, Jiang Mu guessed He Qianyan's next decision, but he still longed for He Qianyan to be able to...

"I'll wait for you nearby." He Qian said, "You send me a message every 15 minutes. If it doesn't stop, I'll go up to find you immediately, or call the police directly, and immediately terminate all cooperation with him."

He Qianyan looked at Jiang Mu with gentle but firm eyes, full of infallible confidence and determination.

Jiang Mu was slightly disappointed, but also seemed to have gained some psychological comfort, and nodded slightly.

He Qianyan held Jiang Mu's cheek and bowed his head to kiss, and said softly, "Xiao Jiang, help me..."

This was the first time Jiang Mu heard He Qianyan say these three words to him, and it was also the first time he felt the feeling of being entrusted by He Qianyan.

Jiang Mu was suddenly filled with strong determination, and all worries were instantly forgotten.

He took the initiative to wrap his arms around He Qianyan's neck, and said softly, "But Brother Yan, you must believe me, I... I will never do anything to you, you must believe me..."

In the evening, Geng Yan turned down a social gathering, and on the way back to the apartment, he was in a state of impatient anxiety, the fingers on his lap tapped his thigh impatiently, wishing the car could drive faster.

Finally arrived at the apartment building, as soon as he got out of the elevator, Geng Yan turned around the wall of the corridor in three steps and two steps, and then looked at the door of his apartment a few meters away.

Sure enough, the person he was expecting to see was squatting at the door of his apartment with his back against the wall, waiting for him.

The anxious and unbearable speculation all the way finally subsided at this moment, and Geng Yan raised the corners of his mouth proudly.

He won the bet.

Sure enough, He Qianyan would let this man come over.

I don't know if this guy who has always regarded He Qianyan as his true love is completely disappointed in He Qianyan.

Geng Yan felt happy just thinking about it.

Jiang Mu arrived early, bought vegetables from the mall, and waited at the door of Geng Yan's apartment for almost an hour. During this period, his legs became sore and he squatted silently on the ground with his back against the wall. Poor.

Geng Yan sneered in his heart.

Like an unwanted stray cat.

Seeing Geng Yan approaching, Jiang Mu got up quickly, but his legs became numb from squatting, and finally he had to stand up with difficulty while leaning on the wall.

"He Qianyan let you come just like that?" Geng Yan said, "Aren't you afraid I'll do something to you tonight?"

"The more... the more prestigious people are, the less likely they are to mess around."

"Heh, you're so good at talking, do you think I'll let you go tonight just to please you?"

Jiang Mu was also a little scared in his heart, he said cautiously, "You...you promised not to do anything."

Geng Yan looked at Jiang Mu's timid eyes, and let out another cold snort of contempt, "You don't look at your own virtues, you want to have no face and no body, how do you have the confidence to think that I will still mess with you? , Just a few words of ridicule, you really think of yourself as a fairy."

"..."

Jiang Mu knew that this man had started again. He didn't know what kind of attitude this guy had towards others. Anyway, every time he was with him, he vowed to make himself worthless before he was reconciled.

Seeing that Jiang Mu didn't respond, Geng Yan stretched out his hand to lift Jiang Mu's chin, "Pretending to be dead, you're proud to fight for your husband, aren't you?"

Jiang Mu still pursed his lips and did not speak.

As if he was addicted, Geng Yan reached out and poked Jiang Mu's forehead again, pushing him staggeringly against the wall behind him.

"Look at your bitter face, why, are you here to send me a funeral?"

Jiang Mu looked at the ground, moved his lips, and muttered indistinctly, "It's not the expression to send you a funeral..."

"What did you say?"

Jiang Mu didn't want to anger Geng Yan either, so he raised his hand carrying the vegetables, "I said it's getting late, we can make dinner."

Geng Yan snorted coldly, but didn't continue to taunt, and opened the apartment to let Jiang Mu in.

Geng Yan spends most of his time in hotels, so this newly bought finished house is not decorated much. Compared with Zhuang Xi's apartment, it looks ordinary. This is Geng Yan's temporary residence. The villa is still under renovation, and it will take some time to live in.

Jiang Mu went straight into the kitchen.

Geng Yan took a shower, came out wearing a bathrobe and leaning against the kitchen door frame, with a cigarette in his mouth, smiling and staring at Jiang Mu inside.

Knowing that Geng Yan was standing at the door of the kitchen looking at him, Jiang Mu didn't panic, he was busy with the work in an orderly manner, ignoring the people at the door the whole time.

"What did you send with your phone just now?" Geng Yan asked lazily, "Would you like to tell He Qianyan that you are safe?"

Jiang Mu's silence was like tacit consent.

"He Qianyan told you to do this, right?" Geng Yan chuckled, "How much do you think he will believe you if you tell him that nothing happened? Two adults who had had an intimate relationship were in the same room late at night, Are you sure he's not thinking about it?"

Jiang Mu remained silent, but silently clenched the knife in his hand.

He still firmly believed in everything He Qianyan said.

"If my guess is correct, He Qianyan should be around here, and I told you that if something happens, he will come up to rescue you immediately. This should be one of the reasons why you dare to come here, right?" Geng Yan sneered "Let me tell you this, if something happened to you, he would come up without hesitation, but if nothing happened to you, he wouldn't believe that nothing happened to you that night. From the moment you stepped into my apartment building, you It has already been given up by He Qianyan."

Jiang Mu didn't respond and continued to slice the bamboo shoots.

Geng Yan was a little surprised. Based on his understanding of Jiang Mu, he felt that his words should be able to stimulate Jiang Mu.

Even if it is not exciting, Jiang Mu will not be completely indifferent.

His deduction should be completely fine, unless He Qianyan did something else that made Jiang Mu completely devoted to him.

Geng Yan stepped into the kitchen, and Jiang Mu stared at him with a full face of wariness. The kitchen knife that was cutting vegetables left the cutting board for a moment, shining a sharp cold light at Geng Yan.

Geng Yan smiled, he stopped one meter away from Jiang Mu, and leaned lazily against the stove, "I won't do anything to you, I just want to chat with you, you continue Busy you."

Jiang Mu then continued to chop vegetables, but from time to time he looked at the people beside him from the corner of his eyes, and kept the kitchen knife at hand when washing the vegetables, which made Geng Yan feel angry and wanted to laugh.

"What did He Qianyan say about the cooperation?" Geng Yan asked suddenly.

Only then did Jiang Mu remember the most important thing of this trip, and quickly conveyed He Qianyan's words, and said the time and place for the two to meet tomorrow.

"After this is done, the entire Zhengsheng Group will be his." Geng Yan stared at Jiang Mu's indifferent and handsome side face, and said with a smile, "The high-ranking president of the group has assets worth over ** billions. Hehe, Tong Wan found him a good stepfather."

As soon as the topic came to He Qianyan, Jiang Mu couldn't help it, and he muttered without raising his head, "You... you are not the same."

Geng Yan sneered, "You know a lot about me, that guy Zhuang Xi told you?"

Jiang Mu snorted softly, but Geng Yan still heard it.

Geng Yan moved half a step to Jiang Mu's side, and continued, "Niwei has given me a lot of convenience, but that's what I sacrificed my life for in the past. In addition, the company in Zhong'an City, Niwei didn't give it to me for nothing. Mine, I have to pay at least [-]% of the money I earn to Niwei, and..." Geng Yan paused, and laughed at himself, "Damn it, why am I telling you this, like you kind……"

"Geng Yan." Jiang Mu suddenly called out with a complicated expression.

Geng Yan's nerve endings trembled uncontrollably.

He hadn't heard Jiang Mu call his name so seriously for a long time.

Geng Yan was stunned for a few seconds before regaining his senses, "What?"

Jiang Mu looked at Geng Yan in front of him, and asked calmly, "Do you like me?"

Geng Yan was stunned.

Time stood still strangely.

A few seconds later, Geng Yan woke up suddenly as if wandering in a circle, and like a dog whose paw was stepped on, he immediately barked.

"I like you? You fart! Can I see you as a waste? You don't look in the mirror to see your own virtue. I asked you to cook for me to be my servant. How the hell are you I really take myself seriously, what the hell is I still like you!"

Geng Yan was so emotional that he almost slapped Jiang Mu to prove his disdain for Jiang Mu.

And Geng Yan's such a strong reaction really scared Jiang Mu a lot.

He just remembered what He Qianyan said to him, so he just asked on a whim.

Who knows where he stepped on the sore spot of the man in front of him.

But the question has come to this point, Jiang Mu simply threw out all the doubts in his heart, "Then...then why are you so keen to drive a wedge between Brother Yan and me?"

"..."

Time seemed to stand still again, and the surroundings were eerily quiet for a while.
