Highly toxic

Jiang Mu also drove his own car to the garage of this apartment building yesterday. He took his things down and put them in the car in two trips. The second time he came up to pick up dumplings and briquettes.

Geng Yan sat on the sofa with a blank face. Under his calm face, it was already a storm. He watched Jiang Mu rushing back and forth in front of his eyes. When his eyes were about to meet him a few times, Jiang Mu would deliberately turned to look away.

The feeling of sadness and helplessness is far stronger than anger.

Geng Yan is still thinking, what is the relationship between the two of them during this time?

Isn't the kinder and weaker the person, the easier to be moved and assimilated?

Why can this guy be so conscious and decisive?

Jiang Mu was carrying a cage containing dumplings and coal balls, and stopped when he was about to go out. He turned around and looked at Geng Yan who was on the sofa not far away. The man was sitting motionless like a sculpture at the moment. There, the morning light from the balcony on one side gently covered half of his body, but in the light and shadow, that indifferent and gloomy face still looked lifeless on his whole body.

Jiang Mu couldn't see what Geng Yan was thinking at the moment.

However, he didn't bother to speculate.

He can finally completely let go of the guilt and self-blame he felt when he was instigated by He Qianyan to plot against Geng Yan.

From now on, he will no longer try his best to guess anyone's mind, and he will no longer have to live to please anyone.

He is only for himself, and only loves himself.

"Goodbye, Brother Yan." Jiang Mu said softly to Geng Yan.

He hoped this was the last word he would say to this man in his life.

Geng Yan didn't speak, he leaned on the sofa and slowly closed his eyes.

Jiang Mu turned and went out the door.

After going out, Jiang Mu gently pushed the door shut with his shoulder.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Jiang Mu felt a cloud of fog slowly dissipate in his heart. Looking at the closed apartment door in front of him, his eyes were red unconsciously.

He had been looking forward to this day for two whole months.

Finally, I can live the life I want.

When Jiang Mu drove back to his apartment, it was only before nine o'clock in the morning.

After feeding the dumplings and briquettes, Jiang Mu went to take a bath again, then ate some breakfast he bought on the roadside when he came back, and then went to the bedroom to lie down for a while.

After sleeping until two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Mu felt that his body had almost recovered.

After simply tidying up the apartment, Jiang Mu went out to find a real estate agency and provided relevant information about his house.

Jiang Mu plans to sell the apartment within a week, and the furniture at home will also be included in the valuation. When he leaves, just take some personal belongings with him.

After the house was sold, Jiang Mu was ready to leave for Tanghai City immediately, first find a rented house there, find a stable job, and then look at the house while working.

Just buy a cheap studio apartment and save some money.

Holding a small notebook in his hand, Jiang Mu sat cross-legged on the sofa, earnestly calculating his next expenses.

He is a man of no great ability, and the most valuable thing in his hand is this house, which is also the money left to him by his parents. If he wants to save a pension for himself in the future, besides working hard, he has to live on a budget .

The coal ball flew to Jiang Mu's arm, tilted his head and called Jiang Mu's mother.

Jiang Mu stroked the head of the coal ball, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, no matter how poor you are, you and Jiaozi will definitely not be wronged. When I buy a new house, I'll see if I want to give you another companion."

Jiang Mu was playing with briquettes when the apartment doorbell rang, and Zhuang Xi outside the door couldn't wait to shout, "Xiao Jiang, are you back?"

Jiang Mu hurried to open the door.

"I rely on you to really come back. I was shocked when I saw you had a bag of garbage outside." Zhuang Xi looked at Jiang Mu in front of her and said angrily, "Where the hell did you go? I can't even connect to my cell phone, I'm so angry, how many times this has happened, I don't want to care about you anymore, just go where you want to die."

Seeing Zhuang Xi's aggressive and poisonous tongue, Jiang Mu's heart became hot.

He knew that Zhuang Xi cared about him and really regarded himself as a friend.

"I'm sorry Zhuang Xi, I changed my phone number." Jiang Mu said softly, "I swear, I won't in the future."

Zhuang Xi looked at Jiang Mu who had obviously lost weight, and said angrily and distressed, "Forget it, I guess you haven't had a good time this past month, have you been bullied by your relatives?"

"Um...we won't talk about this." Jiang Mu smiled and said, "Zhuang Xi, let me treat you to dinner, I just have something to share with you."

Zhuang Xi found that although Jiang Mu looked thinner for a long time, his eyes were surprisingly bright at the moment, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Well, I just haven't had dinner yet, so let's go now."

Jiang Mu agreed and said happily, "Okay, I'll go and change clothes, wait for me."

-

At the beginning of ten o'clock in the evening, Geng Yan, who had just finished socializing, got into the car.

Normally, without Geng Yan's special emphasis, the driver would send him to the apartment building he had frequented for more than a month, even if it was late and took a long detour, his default destination would still be there.

The driver knew that Geng Yan's little lover lived there, because when Geng Yan was going on a long business trip, he specially asked him to come back to pick up that little lover to the airport. He could see clearly that she was a pretty girl with red lips and white teeth. The man looks obedient, his boss is very considerate to Xiao Qinger, he often goes to the mall to buy him a small gift on the way back from work.

Geng Yan drank a lot of wine, he leaned back in the chair dizzy, and asked the driver what time it was in a deep voice.

"Back to Mr. Geng, it's ten nine o'clock in the evening."

Geng Yan froze for a moment, frowned and said, "It's already past ten o'clock?"

"Yes, Mr. Geng."

Geng Yan took out his mobile phone and glanced at it. The words were beating at the moment, and it was ten past ten.

As if just remembering something, Geng Yan's eyes dimmed little by little.

Back at the apartment, Geng Yan, who was standing at the door, rang the doorbell twice, then laughed at himself, and then entered the password to open the door.

The cold and silent darkness rushed in, only a little scattered neon light reflected from the balcony not far away.

Geng Yan turned on the light and looked at the deserted apartment with a numb expression.

He was in a daze for the whole day, and he still didn't seem to fully react. Whether it was when he was working during the day or when he was socializing at night, he still hadn't really realized how his life had changed.

But at this moment, facing this lifeless apartment, the aftertaste of that heartburning spirit, like strong wine pouring into his throat, began to seep up little by little.

Without changing his shoes, Geng Yan walked directly to the sofa and sat down. The mess in front of the tea table was still there, reminding Geng Yan what happened today.

Geng Yan loosened his necktie and leaned on the sofa. He looked at the air in front of him half-drunk, as if everything he could see began to seem real and fake.

Bitter pain surged out from the split viscera, and the man's voice was all in my ears...

"Drink some honey water..."

"Want some supper?"

"The bath water has been put away, let's take a bath first."

"I bought a new dish, and I will make it for you to try tomorrow night."

"I'm sorry, the dumpling bit your shoe today, but I've already scolded it..."

Geng Yan couldn't bear it anymore, took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Mu.

He needs to negotiate with this man!

immediately!

The phone dialed, but the number was empty.

The first thing Jiang Mu left in the morning, he immediately changed his Geng Yan's exclusive mobile phone number.

……

Just as Jiang Mu turned off the computer and was about to take a rest, the doorbell of the apartment suddenly rang.

It was past eleven o'clock at night.

Jiang Mu leaned over the cat's eyes and looked, and his scalp went numb.

It's Geng Yan!

It's not that he never thought that Geng Yan would come to him. As long as Geng Yan's interest in him is still there, he will definitely come to make things difficult for him. This is one of the reasons why he wants to sell the house and leave here as soon as possible. No matter how Geng Yan entangles him, he will not compromise.

It's just that he doesn't know what kind of emotion Geng Yan is bringing to find him at this moment.

Jiang Mu took another look at Geng Yan, his expression was gloomy and complicated, and he didn't look like he came to Xingshi to ask for a crime.

"I know you're inside." Geng Yan outside the door said softly, "Jiang Mu, let me in, I don't do anything, I just want to talk to you..."

Jiang Mu didn't speak, and tightly held the mobile phone that had entered the number of the security room of the community.

Geng Yan kept ringing the doorbell, and finally he pressed his forehead against the door and said in a low voice, "Jiang Mu, let's continue to be together, please, please..."

Unable to get a response from the people inside, Geng Yan began to knock on the door vigorously with his hands, and under the influence of alcohol, he kept calling Jiang Mu's name.

At this time, the door of Zhuang Xi's apartment next door opened.

Zhuang Xi looked in disbelief at Geng Yan, who hadn't seen him for several months, and said in surprise, "Brother Yan, you...why are you here..."

Geng Yan turned his head to look at Zhuang Xi coldly, Zhuang Xi shut his mouth instantly, he was about to retreat to the apartment and close the door, when Geng Yan turned around and walked towards him.

"Brother Yan, I...I didn't mean to disturb you." Zhuang Xi tried her best to smile.

"Go help me and tell Jiang Mu to open the door." Geng Yan ordered.

"Ah? This...it's late at night." Zhuang Xi looked puzzled, "It's not very good, or I don't know..."

"Are you going?" Geng Yan asked coldly.

"go."

Zhuang Xi quickly came to the door of Jiang Mu's apartment, and just about to knock on the door, she turned her head and looked at Geng Yan worriedly, "Brother Yan, you are here to settle accounts with Xiao Jiang, right?"

Geng Yan no longer had the patience to talk nonsense with Zhuang Xi, he grabbed Zhuang Xi by the back of the neck, and pressed his whole body against the door.

"Hey Brother Yan, it hurts..." Zhuang Xi howled.

At this time, the door of Jiang Mu's apartment opened, and Jiang Mu said angrily, "I'll call the police if you do this again!"

Geng Yan looked happy, and pushed Zhuang Xi aside.

"Jiang Mu, I..."

"There is nothing to talk about between us." Jiang Mu said first, "And you promised me that once the agreement is over, you will never disturb my life again."

"I……"

"I don't owe you anything, and I won't feel any guilt towards you for what happened before." Jiang Mu blushed, and said flatly, "Geng is always a man of honor, I hope you can take your face and dignity into consideration when you do things .”

Geng Yan looked at the indifferent Jiang Mu in front of him. This was nothing like the house darling who had been submissive in front of him in the past two months and didn't even dare to speak loudly.

Only one day has passed...

Geng Yan took a deep breath and said with complicated eyes, "Jiang Mu, I like you."

Jiang Mu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.

There is a world of difference between interest and liking. He wondered if this man was crazy to say such a thing.

"I like you." Geng Yan said again, "So I won't hurt you, I just want to be with you, what I did not do well enough, you tell me, I will change, I will change according to your request... "

Zhuang Xi, who was pushed aside by Geng Yan, looked at the absurd scene in front of him with a dazed expression, completely messed up in place.

Geng Yan likes Jiang Mu?

Still so humble in pursuit?

Are you kidding me?

"But I don't like you, and it's impossible to get along with you by so-called relationship." After Jiang Mu calmed down, he simply said, "I agreed to your two-month agreement because I did something wrong. , I have no complaints about being humiliated by you, but now that we have settled, if you threaten me again, I will fight you to the end."

"us……"

"I'm not as powerful as Mr. Geng." Jiang Mu said in a deep voice, "But I'm alone, and I'm willing to fight anything."

During this period of time, Jiang Mu always thought about why his life became so unbearable, and later he figured it out. From the time he met He Qianyan until now, he seems to have never really fought for himself. What, he is like a puppet on strings, the man who controls him has changed from He Qianyan to Geng Yan, until now, the puppet strings have finally been handed over to him...

If he was strong enough and sober enough, he could have been himself a long time ago. All he experienced was because of his ignorance and cowardice.

Now that he is sober, if he encounters the same thing again, it is impossible for him to take another step back.

If you really can't resist, then go to die.

Jiang Mu closed the door so fast that Geng Yan didn't even reach out to pick it up.

Geng Yan's eyes were wide open, and his whole face was as terrifying as if it was about to be blown apart by the cold wind.

He felt that he was not slapped by Jiang Mu, but directly beaten by this man.

But sadly, he didn't have the slightest thought of giving up.

I still want to continue...

After a while, Jiang Mu heard Zhuang Xi's voice outside, he knocked on the door and said, "Xiao Jiang, open the door for me, Geng Yan has already left."

Jiang Mu checked through the cat's eyes before opening the door.

Zhuang Xi looked at Jiang Mu in surprise as if she had just met Jiang Mu.

"My God, how on earth did you make Geng Yan say that to you? He, he, he, he, he actually likes you, Xiao Jiang, what happened between you, tell me the truth, Is your 'disappearance' during this period also related to Geng Yan?" Zhuang Xi's mouth was like a machine gun, and she kept yelling at Jiang Mu, "You still told me to leave Zhong'an City at night, is it true? Isn't it also because of Geng Yan?"

Jiang Mu pushed Zhuang Xi out, and he already regretted letting Zhuang Xi in.

After finally sending Zhuang Xi away, Jiang Mu returned to the bedroom, climbed into bed, and stuffed himself under the quilt.

The next morning, while Jiang Mu was still asleep, the doorbell rang again.

It was Geng Yan again.

"What are you doing here again?" Jiang Mu asked coldly through the door.

Geng Yan no longer humbled himself like last night, but said coldly, "Don't worry, it was an accident last night, I'm on business right now."

"what?"

"Debt collection."

Jiang Mu opened the apartment, and stared at the man in suit and leather shoes with frowning eyes, "You promised yourself, as long as I stay with you for two months, the matter of me and He Qianyan plotting against you will be over, even if you want me again now." I am responsible for your loss, and I will not admit it."

"Since you have done what you should do, that page will naturally be turned over."

"Then what did you mean by that?"

"What I want is the debt of the engagement diamond ring worth more than 400 million." Geng Yan said calmly, "After a few months, you forgot, this debt existed before you and He Qianyan plotted against me of."

Jiang Mu was stunned.

"I remember when I asked you to pay back the money, you said that you would return the ring to me intact." Geng Yan said unhurriedly, "Later I forgot to ask for it. Why, you forgot too?"

Jiang Mu's face turned extremely ugly.

This, he remembered.

Regarding the diamond ring, he later called the manager Wang who bought his ring many times, but the manager kept saying that the ring was in the hands of his lover who was traveling, and he had to wait for his lover to come back to get it. He is a long time.

Later, he couldn't get through to Manager Wang's phone call. He went to the jewelry store to find it, but the staff inside said that the Manager Wang he was looking for had long since left, and when he went to the address to find it, he found that Manager Wang Actually moved.

Afterwards, he assisted He Qianyan wholeheartedly, and this matter was temporarily shelved, and then he was overwhelmed by the series of changes that followed, and gradually put this matter behind him. .

Now that Geng Yan mentioned it again, Jiang Mu suddenly remembered that he still had this account on his head.

"Remember?" Geng Yan sneered, deliberately bumped Geng Yan away with his shoulder, walked into Jiang Mu's apartment confidently, and said solemnly, "Don't say I made it difficult for you, you insisted on splitting up with me. Clearly, since you are so high-minded, then return the diamond ring to me quickly."

"I...I will return the ring to you." Jiang Mu's face turned pale, "But I need some time."

He had to go to that Manager Wang again.

"How long will it take?"

Jiang Mu clenched his palms tightly, "I'll do it as soon as possible."

Geng Yan sat down on the sofa, "As soon as possible and how long?"

Jiang Mu was silent for a while, and said with a complex expression, "The things you gave me before are worth tens of millions, and I... I returned them to you, so..."

"So you want to use those things to offset that diamond ring, right?" Geng Yan chuckled, "You had that chance, the things I gave you belonged to you, and you could even borrow them to send a gift. A sum of money, but you insist on returning it to me pretending to be noble, don’t you think it’s too late now that you have this idea?”

Jiang Mu slowly released his palms, he exhaled lightly, and said calmly, "Please give me a week, Mr. Geng."

Geng Yan deliberately said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you must think that you and I know the existence of that ring anyway, if you refuse to admit it, I can't do anything about you even if I call the police. You've probably started planning to run away in a while, right?"

Jiang Mu was furious, and said angrily, "I'm not that kind of person, the debt belongs to me, and I will pay it back no matter what method I use."

Geng Yan finally said, "There is no proof in words, let's make a written proof."

"Words... written evidence?"

"Let's just say that you lost a diamond ring worth more than 400 million yuan from my Geng Yan, and you have to lose the ring or the money." Geng Yan said with a serious face, "Let's talk about this debt on the bright side, don't say it was me. Deliberately finding fault with you, you know the truth of this matter very well, if you refuse to pay me, then don't blame me for not using formal means to collect debts."

"..."

There was only one reason why Jiang Mu didn't want to make written evidence. He didn't know whether the diamond ring was really worth more than 400 million.

"I know what you are hesitating." Geng Yan said, took out a folded receipt from his pocket, and put it on the coffee table in front of him, "This is the ID of that ring, and the price of the ring on it is and the time of purchase are clearly written, I can also take you to the jewelry store where I bought the ring right now, and ask you to confront the staff there, can you go?"

It was easy for Geng Yan to forge these.

Jiang Mu picked up the card and looked at it with a serious face.

"If you still don't want to make written evidence like this, then I will think that you have no intention of returning my ring at all." Geng Yan kept a businesslike tone from the beginning to the end, as if he was just trying to collect debts at this moment.

Jiang Mu put down the receipt in his hand, closed his eyes heavily, and finally whispered, "I write..."

How could he not know that it was Geng Yan who deliberately came to find fault, maybe after he was chased away by him last night, this man went back and racked his brains to realize that this debt is a big fuss, and then came to make things difficult for him early in the morning.

This man wanted to use this debt to trap himself again.

But even though he knew what Geng Yan was thinking, Jiang Mu had nothing to say.

The existence of this debt is a fact, and when Geng Yan first came to him to settle the debt, he also recognized it and promised that Geng Yan would pay it back.

Geng Yan looked at Jiang Mu's just written document and nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, next time I come to collect debts, I'll just bring this document with me. Even if I sue you, it's justified."

"Can Mr. Geng leave?" Jiang Mu had almost reached his limit, "I have to find a ring for Mr. Geng. I really don't have time to entertain Mr. Geng."

Geng Yan had already stood up, he adjusted his clothes slightly, and said calmly, "Don't forget, you only have one week, but since you have done your best to take care of me for two months, I will also give you a way out, if you find If you don't return the ring, you can't afford the money, you can return it to me..."

"President Geng please." Jiang Mu interrupted suddenly, "No."
