am i dead

Ji Yao remembered living in that house at that time.

Can't help laughing.

Inexplicably, I thought I would go back and have a look when I had time.

When the bathroom shower fell, Ji Yao removed the villa key from Tao He's key ring.

At the gate of the community, there is an old man Zhang who distributes keys and repairs shoes all year round. The dormitory building is also close to the gate of the community. Ji Yao thought that he was fine now anyway, so he took the key and went to make it.

The keys to the dormitory are very cheap, two yuan each, but the keys to the anti-theft door of the villa are more expensive and take a long time.

But it was only ten minutes.

When Ji Yao went back, Tao He had just come out of the shower.

Ji Yao ignored him and walked over to install the keys.

Tao He didn't mind at first, but seeing that he was holding the villa key in his hand, his expression changed, "Ji Yao!"

Ji Yao raised his eyes slightly, "Huh?"

Tao He took the key, "Well, this key is useless, you can match it with your dormitory."

Ji Yao just wanted to tell him that he had finished the composition, but he always felt that something was wrong.

There are too many interrogations of prisoners, and Ji Yao is very good at observing words and deeds.

I feel that Tao He is terribly guilty now.

It's just a key. As for being so nervous?

Ji Yao swallowed what he was going to say, "Oh, good."

***

Tao He inherited Dow at a young age, and within a few days, he immediately became a hot topic in the city, and the scope even went beyond financial magazines.

Voices from all walks of life felt that Dow was messing around.

Although Tao Shu has indeed reached the age to retire, Tao He's father should be on stage at this time. He is about forty years old, and his energy and experience are in the golden age. What do those shareholders think.

Sit back and wait to see the downfall is almost everyone's point of view.

Even Dow's stock price has been affected, but there are also reasons why the Diwang project stopped operating in the early stage.

Fortunately, the drop was not too severe, and overall it was okay.

Tao Shu also lacked confidence in Tao He, and felt that he had resigned too thoroughly, but at this point, it was too late to say anything, so he had to bite the bullet.

But Tao He always thought very clearly in his heart.

Meetings were held for several days in a row, except for daily operations, the focus was on the Diwang project in the new district.

The voices below are all about capital circulation and fund integration, trying to solve the fund problem from the root cause.

Tao He listened carefully to each manager's opinion and felt that it was quite reasonable.

After all, Dow itself also has strong strength, and the Land King project is just a hurdle for Dow, not a hammer to knock it down.

But out of long-term and selfishness, Tao He didn't intend to do this, and even made a suggestion that made everyone dumbfounded.

Give up the project leadership, recover the initial cost funds, and transfer them to Zheng Da, who has a strong interest in this.

The reason Tao He gave was to shift the focus of Dow’s development to the manufacturing industry, abandon real estate, and save funds to ensure the operation of other companies under its umbrella.

But there is little agreement with this opinion.

Let’s not talk about the long-term and not far, let’s talk about the immediate, this is a huge amount of money invested during the operation of Shengsheng.

Not to mention how bad the impact is, just in terms of money, it is also a big loss.

Just to die.

Because the execution power is still in Tao He's hands, he has no way to execute the plan if he refuses to approve it.

The two sides had a stalemate for several days, and in the end Tao He won and insisted on going his own way.

On the day when the leadership of the Diwang project was transferred to Zheng Da, there was an uproar from the outside world.After all, this approach is tantamount to cutting off his right and left arm, which is too bold.

Dow's stock price fell by the limit on the day of the announcement, and it was reported that stockholders sold Dow's stock one after another.

Tao Shu has been in the hospital for reexamination during this period, and he finally recovered. When he came back and heard about this incident, he went directly to the hospital again.

After three consecutive days of lower limit, even the working atmosphere of the group has changed.

The tea room in the usually lively rest area was full of wailing, thinking that it was time to find a new place for himself, and if he continued to toss like this, even if he didn't go bankrupt, he would probably lay off employees.

When Tao He walked in the company, he could feel that there was a lot of discussion behind him.

As for what to say, Tao He also knew in his heart.

It doesn't matter, Tao He doesn't regret it at all anyway.

This result was all expected.

But if you say you don't feel bad at all, that's a lie.

But fortunately, the time is still long, and I am young enough, thinking that I will struggle slowly in the future, which should give Dow a good transformation.

It was getting dark, and Tao He was still working overtime in the office.

This office was previously owned by Tao Shu. After removing those antique tea ceremony utensils, it looks a bit empty. It is so empty that walking in it with leather shoes, except for the heavy footsteps, there are echoes.

The entire wall behind it is glass.

The lights of the city are as bright as stars, and the darkness contributes to its brightness, giving it an inexplicable magnificence.

The light blue light from the computer reflected on the expressionless face, adding a bit of coldness.

Tao He couldn't help but look at Dow's share price.

On the fourth day, the limit fell.

It's deadly.

***

The latest case has also been closed, and it is rare for Ji Yao to have a free weekend.

Originally came back from work, thinking about cooking two dishes in person today, but Tao He made a phone call and said that he would not eat together tonight.

Ji Yao ate some casually by himself and felt a little bored, so he packed his things at home.

After cleaning up, I found the key I had assigned that day, looked at the time, and decided to go to the outskirts of the city.

Anyway, I am fine, and Tao He is not here.

It seems interesting to look back at the places where I stayed before.

***

It was surprising that Tao Shu came over.

He didn't even say hello, and he seemed really annoyed.

But Tao He was waiting for this day.

Tao Shu dreamed of crushing Tao He to death in the hospital, but today he was almost in good health, no one could be found anywhere, and Tao He’s phone was turned off, so he went directly to the unit to inquire, only to find that the lights were still on on this floor as soon as he arrived at the building.

After entering, I found that the person was really there.

Lifting his foot and kicking the door open, Tao Shu stood at the door and did not enter the house.

He didn't speak, just stared at the person at the desk in silence, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

Tao He took a look at Tao Shu and breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally waiting for this day, really tired ah.

Taking out the phone, Tao He dialed a number.

There is no moon today, the air is extremely humid, and with the wind blowing, it looks like the sky is about to change.

When the phone rang, Ji Yao's car had already arrived at the suburban villa.

After turning off the engine and getting off the car, Ji Yao took out his phone and gave a hello.

The voice on the other end of the phone was low, "Ji Yao?"

Ji Yao responded and took out the key.

Tao He stared at the blue-faced person in front of him, "Ji Yao, have you eaten yet?"

"Eat it, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's okay, I just want to tell you that I may be a little late going back today."

Turning the key, Ji Yao pushed open the door, looking at the darkness in front of him.

When the two of them nestled in this place back then, every scene was suddenly very clear.

Thinking of this, Ji Yao's voice became softer unconsciously, "Oh, I see."

The sky was gloomy, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

There was thunder in the distance.

The red sandalwood crutch trembled slightly, and the old man's face could not be said to be pained or frightened for a while.

In short, I was so horrified that I even forgot the original intention of coming, "Ji Yao? This is not...you...you and him..."

Lightning began to flash outside the window.

Tao He leaned against the guardrail in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the dozens of glass behind him clearly displayed the magnificent whiteness of nature.

"It is going to rain……"

Ji Yao held the phone, stood at the door, looked up at the thick clouds outside, "Yes..."

"Are you home?"

"No."

"Go back quickly, or you will be showered."

"okay."

"...Ji Yao, thinking about it now, I still think I like you very much."

"roll."

"Honestly."

"Oh." Ji Yao's voice was low, pretending to be casual, "Me too."

Tao He hung up the phone after saying a few words.

Facing Tao Shu, "Did you mean Ji Yao just now? We've been together all this time, what's wrong? I asked him to wait for me when I go back."

Then he added, "Are you unhappy?"

Tao Shu couldn't bear the overwhelming amount of information coming over him.

Really bad news.

Tao Shu's whole body was stiff, "...What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting," Tao He straightened up, "What's the matter with you?"

"What's the matter?" Tao Shu was confused. "What are you talking about? You've lost all my people! I shouldn't have believed you!"

Tao He had no expression on his face, "Oh, there's no way, now with your little shares, you can't come back even if you want to."

Tao Shu was trembling all over his body, "Tao He, are you playing with me? It's okay for you to play with me, this is the job of thousands of people? What do you think? What's your brain? I sent you to study abroad, you Just learned this and came back? Didn’t you perform very well before, why did you lose the chain at this juncture? Now everyone in the city is watching my Tao Shu’s jokes! I think you did it on purpose... You even changed hands of the Diwang project, What a big joke, you sold such a piece of fat that you worked so hard to get, did you do it, did that Zheng Da Su give you some benefits..."

Tao He got impatient and interrupted him, "Do you know Duan Fang?"

Tao Shu didn't react at first, but after cursing a few words, he felt something was wrong.

Tao Shu is old and his memory is not as good as before, but he will never forget this person's name in his life.

"I shouldn't forget..." Tao He observed Tao Shu's face carefully, "Didn't you ask him for an operation two years ago?"

Tao Shu instantly understood what it meant.

Tao He's voice was calm and calm, as if everything had passed, or it had nothing to do with him, "You were right just now, I did this on purpose for Tao, tell me, we are like this If not, it's evened out."

Then he paused again, "If you feel unwilling, you can come at me, and let's continue to torment."

"Don't implicate Ji Yao any more."

Ji Yao turned on the light and closed the door behind his back.

The room was coated with an orange light.

The refrigerator is also there, but after opening it, it is already empty and there is nothing left.

Ji Yao still remembers that when he lived here, he opened the refrigerator every day to check it out. He was so hungry that he rummaged through the raw meat, took a bite, and spit it out, annoyed that there was nothing to eat.

The seasoning bought by Tao He is also in the kitchen.

Thinking about how I cooked for Tao He back then, Tao He fed himself with a spoon and asked himself if he could have some, even a bite...

There are also stewed dishes, pork ribs and wax gourd. The bones are arranged in a heart shape on the table, which is ugly and heart-warming.

Ji Yao continued to walk forward.

Turning to see Wang Baoqiang's photo, the plate in front of him was empty, with faint residue and mildew stains. The food inside should have been taken away as garbage long ago.

There is a thin layer of dust on the sofa, obviously no one has sat on it for a long time. Ji Yao remembers that he and Tao He sat on it at that time, watching their first love fifty times silently, and the people inside shouted over and over again why don’t you remember me , why don’t I remember, I didn’t feel anything at the time, but thinking about it now...

Actually nothing, don't forget.

It's not that I don't remember.

Going up the stairs, there is a small single room, which was the previous bedroom.

I remember that I sat on the window sill all night and didn't sleep, and I went through the wall on the wall, and I pulled my tongue in front of the mirror, but I still spit it on my head.

I also remember that the two were sitting side by side by the bed, and Tao He asked him, can I chase you, can you be my partner, fuck!That's me.

Lightning struck suddenly, and under the lightning, his cold and white face was not frightening at all, but surprisingly calm.

Ji Yao's fingers touched the window sill, and his tentacles were covered with a thick layer of dust.

Thinking of the term "things are right and people are wrong", I feel that it is not appropriate.

In fact, he has not changed, and neither has he.

Still the same as before.

Even before those two years ago.

Whether it is a ghost or a human being, they have been able to love each other for so many years. No matter how many crooked paths they have taken since they were young, fortunately, the two of them have always been heading towards the end point they had chosen together. accomplish.

'Together' turned out to be such a difficult but warm word.

Tao He stopped the crutch that Tao Shu was waving, "Enough! You never thought about it, or did you think that if you hit me, I would really be powerless to fight back?"

"..."

"Why did I grit my teeth and get beaten again and again, and let you crack my bones twice?"

With a little force on Tao He's arm, the cane came out of Tao Shu's hand and hit the tempered glass behind Tao He, making a loud bang.

"That's because I regard you as a relative, I respect you, I am willing to endure, I can bear that kind of pain, really, but what did you do to me, you actually went to a psychiatrist to do that to Ji Yao kind of thing..."

"..."

"It really hurts...it hurts to death..."

Tao Shu's lips trembled, "So you...revenge on me? Are you taking revenge on the person who raised you? Are you taking revenge on your relatives?"

Tao Shu's voice became louder and louder, even hysterical.

Standing up tremblingly, Tao Shu held all the documents on the table in his hands and threw them towards the person in front of him.

"evil creature!"

The white paper was thrown all over the floor.

Tao He stepped on the paper, and gradually approached Tao Shu, "Yeah... I feel so unfilial now... But what good is being a filial son? I listen to you and think about you, but what do I get? Already? It’s out of proportion to what I lost.”

Tao He raised his eyebrows slightly, "But now, you see, I have everything in my hands, I can protect Ji Yao, and I can also protect myself, how good it is."

Tao Shu felt a pain in his heart, "...Since you want to take revenge on me...then why don't you die..."

Tao He looked at him, "Death? I don't want to die. I know you won't feel pain when I die, but you will only feel pain when Tao's collapses."

When Ji Yao was staying upstairs, he suddenly heard a faint movement in a corner downstairs.

Clashing and rattling, like steel balls dangling in an iron box.

Another pink flash of lightning flashed outside the window.

The voice continued continuously, faintly and faintly, making one's scalp tingle after hearing it.

With cold hands and feet, Ji Yao tiptoed downstairs.

"Who? Come out!"

Ji Yao went downstairs vigilantly, "Police! Come out!"

There was no movement in the house again.

Ji Yao went downstairs, turned on all the lights in the room, and checked one by one, but just after looking at the kitchen and dining room, Ji Yao already felt that he was worrying too much.

It's so nerve-wracking, there's no one here.

Just as he was about to leave, there was a sudden continuous sound in the bathroom, accompanied by more and more violent knocks on the door.

Ji Yaoxun looked over at the prestige, looking at the trembling door panel of the bathroom, he couldn't help but get a rash.

The sound of knocking on the door, as well as the sound of rattling and rattling, filled the entire building, like a spell, arousing Ji Yao's curiosity and forcing him to stay still.

The door was locked, Ji Yao only needed to twist the lock on the handle.

Ji Yao settled down.

He turned on the light in the bathroom and reached for the doorknob.

"No, no," Tao Shu suddenly smiled, but his eyes were absent-minded, "No, bastard, if you die, I don't want to live anymore..."

After the thunder, the rain poured down.

Countless silver threads passed through the window, hit the glass, and flowed down, piece by piece.

Tao Shu sat on the sofa in silence for a while, with a frustrated look on his face, and he looked downcast, "I was too angry at the time and acted impulsively, but after thinking about it, I regretted it."

"..."

"So when you came back, no matter how much I cared about you, I didn't touch him...I took you away from that villa at the time, I saw him standing there, in fact...a little guilty..."

"..."

"It seems that I have never told you about Yang Wen. I knew he had this tendency before, but I always felt that as long as he worked hard in his career, I would turn a blind eye to his relationship. But now I think I think, I really regret that I didn't take good care of him at the beginning."

"..."

"In the end, that man killed him. If it wasn't for that man, he wouldn't have jumped off the building at all..."

"..."

"You can't imagine how scared I was when I knew you were such a person. Who knows if Ji Yao will lie to you, who knows if you will jump off the stairs, I am old and I can't stand the excitement After Yang Wen's death, you are the only motivation for me to grit my teeth and persist in immortality..."

Ji Yao looked at the man in front of him. His hair was long, hanging down to his chin, pale and thin.

Kind of like my previous self.

What a trick of fate, the ghost in this room was actually replaced by him.

Duan Xiuping was still sitting on the toilet, holding an empty candy box in his hand.

There were scattered hard candies all over the bathroom floor tiles, in all colors, one by one, dirty.

Facing this person, Ji Yao's heart skipped a beat.

For a moment, any slight sound is like plucking strings and fluttering wings.

The rain is gradually decreasing.

Tao Shuwu said that in the end, he lost control of his emotions and sobbed faintly, "Tao He, don't jump off the building, I made a mistake, okay, can I apologize to him?"

Tao Heyi was a little confused for a while.

But I don't know what I'm confused about.

There was nothing in my heart, no relief, no joy of revenge.

Inexplicably remembered that people are doing it, but the sky is watching.

Really everything has a reward.

One by one, it's all over.

But it doesn't seem to be over.

There is one more, who is it?

Tao He thought for a while.

Well, this person should be me.
