The way I came back wasn't right

Chopin’s serenade was spinning in the luxurious hall, and the well-dressed men and women whispered together on the dance floor. Su Zejin brought a celebrity female companion here today. She was wearing a blue mermaid dress with sloping shoulders, and her jet-black hair was curled and slanted. Draped on her snow-white fragrant shoulders, with a diamond hairpin pinned below her ears, she is chatting cordially with the target of tonight's mission—she has obviously completed her mission perfectly—a middle-aged wealthy businessman, revealing from time to time charming smile.

If there is no accident, she will leave with the rich businessman later, and then wait until tomorrow morning to get back the contract, and then take away her reward.

Su Zejin tapped the armrest of the chair with his index finger.He was sitting near the balcony, and the night wind would often blow up the white curtains, and the raised arc was like a lady's soft and elegant skirt.

The harvest of this banquet was not bad.He folded his hands in front of his stomach, and nodded to a person who was passing him and met his eyes.After negotiating a few small and large businesses, the most important thing is to understand the recent domestic situation, join this specific group... and return to this place.

"Would you like a drink?" A low-alcohol male voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Su Zejin was slightly taken aback, and followed the voice, the first thing he saw was the red wine held up in front of him.He raised his gaze upwards, and at the same time he glanced at the person behind the red wine, he also stood up from the chair: "Hello."

He smiled at the man who didn't know when he appeared beside him, and at the same time took the wine glass in the other's hand.

I'm about the same age as myself, I should be 26 seven?It looks... well-defined features, very handsome, and a little familiar, but not anyone in memory.Su Zejin looked at the other party's face politely, raised the wine glass in his hand while thinking, and touched the other party's lightly. Just as he gathered to the end of his nose and sniffed, he heard the other party say: "The red wine from Chateau Latour, It's a pity that the year is less. In addition," he pointed to Su Zejin's wrist. On the cuff of the white shirt of the other party, a cufflink with a special black round bottom and a cross was shining. "The cufflinks are very unique. They are my own Was it made to order?"

Su Zejin glanced at his sleeve: "No, it was a gift from a friend. By the way, are you?"

"My surname is Shen." The person in front of him put down the ruby ​​red wine, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Su Zejin, "Shen Huaiyi."

Those who introduce themselves only by name either have no status or qualifications to show off, or a name is enough for others to know which one they are.

But since they can participate in this kind of banquet, the possibility of the latter is greatly increased.

And it's a somewhat familiar name...

When Su Zejin took the other party's business card, he quickly searched in his mind. His memory is very good. Since the other party is not anyone he knows, he must have been introduced by others or appeared before him. Among the newspapers and magazines that have passed——

His eyes immediately fell on the business card in his hand. Of course, the first thing that caught his eye was the name of the owner of the card, and immediately after the name was the occupation of the owner of the card.

The other party is a psychiatrist.

This key point connects all relevant fragments in Su Zejin's memory in an instant.

Professor of Social Psychology at BAFc University.

One of the participants in the Willis Psychology Lab.

He has published papers in top foreign psychology journals.

"It turned out to be Professor Shen." Su Zejin's smile deepened, and the strength of his handshake also increased in due course: since he went abroad in the first year of high school, he has been very good at treating people who are useful to him and others who are useful to him with various appropriate attitudes. Those who are useless themselves, and those who may be useful in the future.

"I've already returned to my country." Shen Huai smiled, gently reminding Su Zejin of his title.

Su Zejin changed her title very naturally: "It can be seen that Dr. Shen plans to develop in China now? As far as I know, Dr. Shen is not the youngest official professor at BAFc University, but he must be the youngest Chinese professor."

Shen Huai smiled slightly: "Isn't Mr. Su's overseas business doing very well?"

The remaining half of the rhetorical question "Didn't you also come back?" was politely hidden by the host, but it was enough to let the person who talked with him understand what he meant.

Su Zejin smiled and took a sip of red wine. It was indeed more comfortable for Xindao to talk to someone who studies psychology: "No way, there are always things worth paying attention to. Among other things, the family is still in China."

Shen Huaiyi expressed his agreement by clinking glasses.

The performance in the front hall temporarily came to an end, and the crowd on the dance floor dispersed.

Su Zejin continued to chat with the other party: "Dr. Shen's major is psychology. In your eyes, do ordinary people rarely have any secrets?"

"On the contrary, in our eyes, ordinary people are a big box containing endless secrets." Shen Huaiyi said, "Psychologists are committed to studying every secret in the box, but the secrets will always be more and more researched. "

Su Zejin raised his eyebrows: "For example?"

"President Su will definitely not be interested in some professional knowledge." Shen Huai said with a smile.

Su Zejin laughed: "I heard that analysis is a compulsory course for every psychologist?"

"Experiments are."

"Then has Dr. Shen been asked to do so by others?" Su Zejin asked, "It's not an analysis of the patient."

"A lot, to be honest."

Su Zejin shook the wine glass in his hand: "I guess so, how about Dr. Shen come and analyze me now?"

Shen Huaiyi's eyes slowly swept across Su Zejin's face and whole body.

Su Zejin also took this opportunity to re-observe the psychiatrist standing in front of him: the other party undoubtedly has an impressive face.He has a deep outline, thick eyebrows, and a high nose bridge, but his lips are thin and his eyes are very bright. What's more interesting is that such brightness is very soft when looking at people, and will not make anyone who talks to him feel intimidated. A sense of aggression—at least Su Zejin didn't have such a feeling.

At this time, Shen Huaiyi also withdrew his glance at Su Zejin, and smiled at the person: "For non-patients, I generally don't do too detailed research."

This answer was a bit unexpected for Su Zejin, but when he spoke, Shen Huaiyi said, "But some details don't matter too much. I usually regard this as a fun little game... Let's pick Mr. Su." How about the cufflinks you wear today?"

To be honest, this turning point brought Su Zejin even more interest than before. He glanced at his sleeve, then nodded: "What's Dr. Shen's opinion?"

"It was given by Mr. Su's very good friend. It was delivered within one to three months. But it was not taken seriously by Mr. Su. Either it was given by that friend, or it was given by Mr. Su recently. There was some conflict with that friend. Also, it was a gift from a male friend in his 25s to 30s."

Su Zejin was half surprised and half astonished, and he was about to say something when the phone in his pocket rang suddenly, so he could only change into a sorry expression, and after getting the gesture of please go ahead, He hurriedly said "Dr. Shen's deduction is very accurate", then picked up the phone and walked towards the bathroom.

"Chen Jian? What's the matter?"

The heavy wooden door suddenly cut off the music in the hall, Su Zejin turned and leaned against the sink, and at the same time scanned the restroom to make sure that there was no second person here.

"Which beauty is Mr. Su playing with? The BGM that came with it just now is really elegant!" A familiar voice came from the microphone, and the other party spoke to Su Zejin in a rare cynical tone.This is Su Zejin's good brother, Chen Jian.

"But I haven't seen you in a few years, so why are you just burying me like this? Although I've been outside all these years, I haven't called you often, have I?" Su Zejin smiled into the phone, and he turned on the faucet carelessly and washed his hands After that, he shook it lightly, and smoothed the fallen hair back. The mirror mounted on the wall clearly reflected his back, and also reflected the faint shadow on the man's face, "Today is to participate in a The ecological protection exchange meeting is boring to death."

There was a burst of laughter on the phone: "That's, what's the meaning of that kind of communication? I finally broke out a piece of top-quality equipment in the next three dungeons tonight, but it was hacked, which made me talk loudspeakers all over the world. If you lead people to chase and kill them, they won’t even dare to go online—how, it’s much more interesting than your activities, isn’t it?”

"If you really want to say it, I think you are more boring than me." Su Zejin said without hesitation.

Chen Jian quit: "Come on, the two of us are equal, let alone Zhang San and Li Si. Why didn't you call me after you returned to China? I still got the news from others, hey, you Do you think I really want to save the trouble of picking up the plane?" He said in a joking tone.

"It's not to save you trouble, you really don't know what I'm doing when I come back?" Su Zejin asked the other party.

"For your grandpa..." Chen Jian's voice on the phone was a little fuzzy.

"Yeah." Su Zejin responded lightly, "It's good that you know, I'll hang up if it's okay."

"Don't hang up, don't hang up!" Chen Jian raised her voice all of a sudden, "Wait, wait! How many years have I been a brother, and you are still angry at me for this? It's just too tasteless and narrow-minded!"

Su Zejin really laughed angrily: "It's you who say it's good, and it's you who say it's bad. You really want to say everything when you co-author it?"

"Hey, it's not like you don't know..."

"I know we've quarreled several times over this, so I won't tell you this time." Su Zejin also said bluntly.

"That's why," Chen Jian's voice on the phone was still mixed with a little noise.Relying on the understanding from childhood to adulthood, Su Zejin can outline the irritable appearance of the other party grabbing his hair without closing his eyes, "I just don't understand how much enmity you and your father have. From what I have seen for so many years, uncle treats you It’s not too good and it’s not too bad! When you were studying abroad, your business was doing well, and after two or three days after returning to China, it also flourished. Wouldn’t it be better to set up a complete shelf by yourself? Why bother with you Dad is staring straight at it, it's too ugly."

"Then don't watch it." Su Zejin said.

"I'm serious with you!" Chen Jian also raised her voice, "If someone else offends you today, I will accompany you as a brother without saying a word! But that's your father! Are you in the second stage of middle school?" Haven't you ever? What did your father who hasn't seen five or six times a year make you hate for so many years?—Just your half-brother?"

Su Zejin sneered: "Is this not enough?"

"It's enough for you not to be close to your father, but it's not enough for you to treat him as an enemy." Chen Jian tried to calm herself, "Xiao Ze, I don't mean to interfere in your life, nor do I come to be your lobbyist for your father. Yes, I think you really can't do this, it's your dad, you really don't want to see him become independent..." He repeated what he said a long time ago so that it was a bit painful to repeat, this time, he Even looking at the game interface on the computer through the phone, he can still imagine Su Zejin's sinister expression... Just when he found out that these words were weak even for himself, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and his voice followed He hesitated, "Wait a minute, Su Zejin, I know you're listening, so don't hang up... Is there something between you and your dad that you haven't told me? Your mother, your half-brother seems to be Just one year younger than you or half a year? That is to say, your father cheated on your mother while she was pregnant?"

Su Zejin smiled lightly.

Very cold laugh.

"Chen Jian, you are so smart, you finally figured it out?"

Chen Jian's mind was in a mess, and he realized that he had missed a very important thing: "Your mother passed away due to illness..."

"Of course it's a disease! It's because of depression, depression, and disease." Su Zejin was biting her back teeth with every word, "My mother was mentally unstable after my dad cheated on her, and she also suffered from depression. When I was five years old, Suicide in the room—"

He stopped suddenly, many words about his family, just like before, were swallowed before they could be spoken.Don't tell others about those things, even if you just think about it, he won't be able to tell you how disgusting it is.

He finally sneered:

"As long as my surname is Su, as long as there is one person in the Su family, Chairman Jiang of Su's enterprise, wants to use my Su family's money to support a bitch and the son of a bitch? Make his big dream!"

"You should tell me about this earlier..." Chen Jian was silent for a while, and when she spoke again, there was a bit of complaint in her words.

"Thinking about this kind of thing makes me sick," Su Zejin sneered, "And to be honest, I really didn't expect that you didn't understand it for so many years."

"My fault, my fault." Chen Jian smiled wryly, "But to be honest, the amount of information is too much, and I can't bear it... Is the exchange meeting you are attending now over? How about we meet? "

Su Zejin glanced at the time on his watch: "It's almost there, I'll drive to your side now."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

Su Zejin hung up the phone, opened the door of the toilet and went out, and happened to meet Shen Huaiyi as he passed the hall, who was surrounded by a group of men and women talking.He nodded to the person who happened to cast his gaze over, walked directly past, and told the doorman to drive his car over.

Shen Huai, who was in the crowd, looked at the back of Su Zejin who was leaving quickly, and smiled apologetically at the people around him, while walking out of the crowd, walking in the direction Su Zejin walked into the bathroom where the other party came out just now.

In just a few minutes, this remote bathroom was still as empty as before.

As soon as Shen Huai closed the wooden door gently, the bright incandescent lamps on the ceiling made the enclosed space fully visible.

He stood in front of the door and looked around, then slowly walked to the middle of the sink, then raised his hands, weighed them, and pressed down.

Intermittent music came from the crack of the door, and he hummed a few beats along with it, while feeling some residual body heat from the cold sink.

Obviously he did not choose the wrong position, this is where Su Zejin just stood.

Feeling so quietly for a while, he stopped talking, and raised his head to look at the mirror in front of him. The mirror clearly showed the person standing in front of him: a straight suit, with just the right embellishments, and a backward Combed calm hairstyle.

He smiles at the mirror.

The muscles on both sides of the cheeks seem to be pulled up accurately and gradually by tweezers until the person in the mirror shows a standard and happy smile.

Then he reached into his pocket, took out three one-yuan coins, and tossed them up.

There was no extra sound, and the coins landed in a precise row on the back of Shen Huaiyi's hand.

One pros and two cons.

A string of jade safety pendants swayed gently under the rearview mirror.

Su Zejin, who was already sitting in the car, put his left hand on the steering wheel and loosened his tie with his right hand.

Perhaps it was because he had just had a few glasses of wine at the banquet, but now he felt a little stuffy sitting in the airtight car, and couldn't help but press the window glass to let the outside wind blow into the car.

The night wind in May is quite refreshing, and there are not many vehicles passing by on the roads in the suburbs—or it should be said that there are no other vehicles passing by.But it's not surprising, the lane here is so narrow, if a few more cars pass by, I don't know how long it will be blocked.

Su Zejin took a deep breath against the wind, and saw that the turning in front of him was about to slow down, when two bright lights suddenly lit up at the turning in front of him!

The suddenly turned on lights shone straight into the gray car, Su Zejin's eyes widened in the driver's seat, his face was as pale as the light.

"Boom!—"
