Retreat

The car drove back to the underground parking lot of Qiao Mudong's house, Qiao Mudong turned off the engine and pulled out the key, got out of the car and left.

He Yu heard him slam the car door shut and froze on the seat.More than ten seconds later, Qiao Mudong came back, kicked the car door, and shouted, "Do you want me to carry you back?"

He Yu opened the car door and got out, glanced at the car door that had been kicked dirty by Qiao Mudong, but said nothing.

The two of them walked into the elevator in silence all the way, watching the elevator slowly go up.

When he was about to reach the tenth floor, Qiao Mudong suddenly said, "You asked me this morning if I fell in love with you."

He Yu suddenly turned to look at him.

Putting his hands in his pockets, Qiao Mudong looked at the jumping numbers in front of him, "I thought about it for a day and got the result. But before that, I have to ask you two questions."

He Yu nodded, "Say it."

Qiao Mudong said: "Do you still love Fu Chenshan?"

He Yu was silent for a while, and said calmly: "I don't love anymore." The love has been exhausted, and what is left is only the emotions accumulated over the years, which are not intense but not without worries.

The elevator had reached the 23rd floor, the door opened slowly, but no one moved.

Qiao Mudong said, "The second question is whether you love me or not."

He Yu didn't answer.

Seeing that the elevator door was about to close again, Qiao Mudong reached out and pressed the door open button, waiting for He Yu's answer.

He Yu looked up at him and said, "Do you love me?"

Qiao Mudong said: "I am asking you, not you asking me."

He Yu said seriously: "If you don't love me, I don't love you either."

"Fuck!" Qiao Mudong yelled angrily, "Look for a fight!"

He Yu said, "I'm telling the truth."

Qiao Mudong stared at him fiercely, "If I love you, you will love me too, right?"

He Yu was stunned and said after a long time, "Ah?"

Qiao Mudong cursed angrily: "Get out!" He walked out of the elevator without looking back.

He Yu quickly followed.

At night, when He Yu came out of the shower, Qiao Mudong was already lying on the bed and sleeping.After returning home, Qiao Mudong didn't say a word to him, exuding a violent breath from head to toe.

He Yu lay down on the bed, and Qiao Mudong remained motionless with his back turned to him, wondering if he was asleep.

He Yu reached out and hugged Qiao Mudong from behind, and asked, "The wound on your shoulder doesn't hurt anymore?"

Qiao Mudong didn't answer, just kicked He Yu away.

He Yu reluctantly stuck it up again, this time putting his whole body on Qiao Mudong's back, wrapping his arms around his waist, "Why are you so angry, you look like a child."

Qiao Mudong still didn't speak, and kicked him away again.This kick was really strong, and He Yu was kicked directly to the ground by him.The body fell to the ground, and there was a cold stabbing pain in the lower back. He Yu gritted his teeth and lay still. After the sharp pain subsided, he slowly got up from the ground.

He was also not in the mood to go to bed and have a fight with Qiao Mudong, so he opened the door and went down to the first floor.

He Yu threw his body on the sofa, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath.He didn't fall asleep immediately, and he wasn't too angry with Qiao Mudong. At this moment, his head was messed up like a paste, and he couldn't figure it out.I don't know who is competing with whom, it seems that the one who says love first will lose completely.

Footsteps sounded on the stairs, even though Qiao Mudong had deliberately lightened his footsteps, He Yu could still hear them.He heard Qiao Mudong go downstairs and walked to the sofa.

He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, motionless.

The soft quilt was thrown over him, to be precise, Qiao Mudong didn't even want to stretch out his hand to help him pull the quilt back up, so he went upstairs again.

He Yu sighed silently in the dark, covered the quilt by himself, closed his eyes and fell into the soft sofa, and fell asleep.

The next day, He Yu had to go to work.The two-day vacation that Li Tang gave him has ended, no matter whether he intends to work with Ou Yunjia or not, as long as Li Tang has not made an explanation, he has to go back to work.

Qiao Mudong was still in a cold war with him, but he still waited for him to go out together in the morning, and drove him to Eat Youwei.

When He Yu got off the car on Renxin Street, Qiao Mudong didn't reverse the car and leave immediately, but pressed the car window and looked at him.

He Yu came back to his senses, went to the street breakfast shop and bought two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk and handed it to Qiao Mudong, and then he started to knock him down and leave.But this time there was no passionate kiss, and he didn't even say a word to He Yu.

He Yu scratched his head, the childish Qiao Mudong really made him feel strenuous.

Shiyouwei has already opened the door, the lights are soft and bright, and the smell of food wafts out from inside.Xia Xiaoxia fetched a basin of water and was cleaning the glass door. Seeing He Yu coming, she greeted with a smile, "Good morning!"

He Yu also nodded with a smile, "Morning."

It was still early, only two or three guests were having breakfast, Li Tang occupied a table by himself, and watched TV while eating noodles.

He Yu went to the kitchen, asked Pang Ge to help him cook a bowl of noodles, and then came back and sat down beside Li Tang.

Li Tang glanced at him, raised his hand to greet Xia Xiaoxia, "Xiaoxia, make me a cup of coffee."

He Yu was a little surprised, "When did you still sell coffee?"

Li Tang said: "Private collection, not for sale."

He Yu reached out for a pair of chopsticks, and suddenly heard the news on the TV broadcasting an explosion. The female anchor spoke calmly and talked about a car explosion that happened in the city the day before yesterday.

He Yu was taken aback, and suddenly remembered Hong Minhang whom he had seen in the hospital.

Li Tang also put down his chopsticks and looked at the TV screen seriously.

Sure enough, just as He Yu expected, when the explosion happened, the media did not know the identity of the victim, but there were many speculations, until now it was confirmed that the victim of the explosion was Hong Minhang.The host also briefly introduced the Dihong Group behind Hong Minhang, and finally said that the police have started an investigation, and Hong Minhang's specific injuries are unknown, and our station will continue to pay attention.

Lao Pang served He Yu's noodles, and He Yu thanked him, seeing that Li Tang was still staring at the TV and didn't respond for a long time.

He couldn't help shouting: "Brother Li?"

Li Tang looked back at him, "Well, let's eat first."

He Yu felt a little relieved when he heard his calm tone, hesitated and said, "The night before yesterday, Qiao Mudong and I met Hong Minhang in the hospital."

Li Tang said "Huh?" and sat up straight.

He Yudao: "I didn't intend to tell you. He looked seriously injured. He seemed to have been sent for emergency treatment. It is said that both of his uncles have arrived at the hospital. But I don't know the other details."

Li Tang nodded, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and said to He Yu, "Eat first."

Xia Xiaoxia helped him bring the coffee, but Li Tang didn't touch it, just sat on the stool and smoked non-stop.

He Yu finished eating the noodles in a hurry, and seeing that Li Tang had eaten half of the noodles that had gone cold, he said, "I'll ask Brother Pang to cook a new bowl for you."

Li Tang shook his head, "No need, I don't want to eat." After speaking, he picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp.

He Yu had no choice but to carry two bowls into the kitchen. When he came back, he saw Li Tang already sitting on the seat smoking a cigarette. He walked over and asked, "Brother Li, are you worried about Mr. Hong?"

He Yu's impression of Hong Minhang is actually quite good.

Li Tang didn't answer, and after a while he said calmly: "He is my younger brother."

He Yu didn't ask Li Tang what was wrong with the Hong family in the past, he just thought, no matter what others think, Li Tang and Hong Minhang still regard each other as brothers in their hearts.

Everyone could see Li Tang's anxiety.He is an emotionally restrained person, he will not vent loudly, he will just sit silently in the corner, smoking one cigarette after another.

At ten o'clock in the morning, when He Yu was helping to count the newly delivered bottled wine, Li Tang raised his hand to greet him.

"What? Brother Li."

Li Tang said: "He Yu, do me a favor, I want to find Mr. Qiao."

He Yu understood what he meant, "Do you want Qiao Mudong to help you find out about Hong Minhang's situation?"

Li Tang said: "I want Young Master Qiao to help me arrange, can I meet Hong Minhang?"

He Yu made the first call, but Qiao Mudong didn't answer it.Because Qiao Mudong came to work early in the morning, he was invited to Ling Qiang's office, not only Qiao Mudong, Fu Chenshan was also invited there.

The two sat side by side in front of Ling Qiang's big desk, Qiao Mudong was expressionless, Fu Chenshan hadn't recovered from the pain of the hangover, he raised his hand to rub his forehead from time to time, and the bruise on his jaw still remained .

Ling Qiang looked cold, and threw a stack of photos in front of the two of them without saying a word.

Qiao Mudong just raised his eyelids to take a look, while Fu Chenshan reached out to take a few photos and looked at them carefully. Those photos were very blurry and were captured from the KTV surveillance video.After He Yu and Fu Chenshan came out of the private room, Fu Chenshan walked over and held He Yu's shoulder, and then Qiao Mudong appeared, Qiao Mudong punched Fu Chenshan, and then the crowd dispersed.

Although the photo is blurry, the two people can be clearly identified.

Fu Chenshan couldn't help but raised his hand and pressed his forehead. He really drank too much last night. His last memory was the picture of himself drinking in the KTV private room. He couldn't remember what happened afterwards.Seeing these photos now, my back is covered in cold sweat. Fortunately, I didn't make any more strange moves at that time.

Qiao Mudong looked calm, "What's wrong?"

Ling Qiang looked at them coldly, "You two, is this how you humiliate Ling Yun outside? Do you know how many Ling Yun employees witnessed the two managers fighting that day?"

Fu Chenshan said: "I'm sorry Uncle, I really drank too much."

"You should remember your identity if you drink too much!" Ling Qiang shouted.

Fu Chenshan said again: "I'm sorry."

"It's your turn," Ling Qiang pointed at Qiao Mudong, "Why did you attack Chen Shan?"

Qiao Mudong said indifferently: "If you want to fight, you can fight. What reason do you need?"

Ling Qiang patted the table hard, "Qiao Mudong!"

Fu Chenshan quickly dissuaded him: "Uncle, don't be angry, Mu Dong may have misunderstood me."

"There is no misunderstanding," Qiao Mudong said, "I just want to hit him."

Fu Chenshan's expression became ugly, and he sat in his seat and stopped talking.

Ling Qiang pointed at He Yu's face in the photo, and asked Fu Chenshan, "Who is this?"

Fu Chenshan took a deep breath and tried his best to keep his tone calm, "He is an old classmate I grew up with. I probably met by chance last night."

Ling Qiang nodded when he heard the words, and suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Is Zhilu okay?"

Fu Chenshan was stunned for a moment, and said, "She's not in a very good mood."

Ling Qiang said: "Please persuade her, don't act like a child, who doesn't know how to behave."

Fu Chenshan said: "I know."

Ling Qiang said: "This matter, you go down and reflect on it. People in Lingyun are not ashamed to be drunk in public."

Fu Chenshan responded: "I see, I'm sorry."

Ling Qiang waved his hand, "About Zhilu, I'll find you later, you go out first."

Fu Chenshan stood up, took another look at Qiao Mudong, and then walked out.

When the door of the room was closed, Ling Qiang reached out and took out a few more photos from the drawer. This time, he threw them directly on Qiao Mudong's face, and said coldly, "You think I don't know anything? This person is called He Yu. He used to be an employee of Lingyun. , Three years ago, you were sentenced for misappropriating company funds and serving your sentence in Anfu Prison. At the same time, you were also sentenced for intentional injury and locked up in Anfu Prison. Qiao Mudong, this person was the last time your sister fooled around with you in your office The man you saw was also released after serving his sentence, so you immediately find me and ask for bail!"

The photos that were thrown on Qiao Mudong's face were screenshots from another camera, all showing two people kissing at the corner of the corridor.

"Qiao Mudong!" Ling Qiang shouted angrily, "I think you've gone crazy!"
