Rebirth of the Uncrowned King

At around ten o'clock that night, I dragged my exhausted body back to Ren Min's villa after finishing the [-]-word manuscript. When I entered the door, I was taken aback—Ren Min, who hadn't seen him for several days, was sitting in the living room Inside, there was a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses on the tea table in front of him, looking like he was enjoying himself.

My footsteps paused, and I wanted to bypass him and go upstairs, but he stood up, stopped in front of me, and handed me a wine glass, filled with a small cup of dark red wine, under the yellow light from the crystal chandelier , reflecting the colorful aperture, which is extraordinarily dazzling.

"Long time no see, have a drink with me." Ren Min had his usual half-smile expression on his face: "I miss you very much recently, so I work overtime so hard, I want to finish work quickly, so I can come back to see you .”

Desperately working overtime... My heart suddenly moved, and I actually had the idea of ​​wanting to follow Ren Min's words... Knowing that this is seeking skin from a tiger, but my mouth is still growing fast, and I asked: "What kind of overtime are you working? Why are you so busy recently? ?”

As soon as I said it, I regretted it.

Ren Min was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Really, you finally talked to me, I was afraid that you would ignore me for the rest of your life, but you are still worried about me."

I bit my lip, suppressed the desire to refute, turned my head away and stopped talking Ren Min suddenly grabbed one of my hands, spread it out, stuffed the wine glass into my hand, and then grabbed my shoulder , The two wine glasses touched each other and said, "Come on, let's drink this."

I looked at him, and found that there was a suspicious flush on his originally fair and cold face.

"Are you drunk?" I asked him, frowning.

Ren Min shook his head: "How is it possible, I have a good drinker. Really, I'm sorry, the company has a big project recently, if it is done, it will be a great income, even if other companies in the group are not profitable, relying on this project will not be profitable. Affordable."

I looked surprised and asked, "What project? So amazing!"

Ren Min drank the wine in the glass, then smiled at me with his teeth bared, stretched out two fingers, and waved: "Secret."

I pushed his hand away, put down my glass and wanted to go upstairs.

"Really, you resign and come to be my assistant. I will give you the highest treatment in the industry, and I can satisfy your curiosity, how about it?" Ren Min's voice suddenly came from behind, and I clenched my fists. A burst of anger burst into my heart, I turned around and waved my finger at him, leaving two words: "Dream!"

How much did Ren Min drink to get so drunk!Back in the room, all I could think about was his big grin.

I never saw him drunk, he was always sober and sane in front of people, even when he was hanging out with me in college.When we went out to restaurants occasionally, he would just have a drink or two. With his majesty as a senior, no one dared to pour him a drink.

But compared to the man with a clear mind and restrained behavior, I think that this man who looks a bit drunk and speaks straightforwardly is closer to the truth and has more human anger.

After being made such a fuss by him, although I was tired, I couldn't fall asleep. I sat at the desk and browsed the web indiscriminately.Several days passed, and I searched for those keywords, but still didn't find the desired results.

I have started to slowly investigate this matter, but Ren Min seems to have not noticed it yet.Maybe it's because he's been busy recently, so he doesn't have time to pay attention to me.Anyway, I'm in his hands, and it's no more difficult for him to deal with me than to crush an ant to death.

Xiaotao called me and told me that the preparatory preparations for the land selected to carry out the project have already begun, and the relocation team has already entered the local village committee. The farmers are still reluctant to leave the land.

"However, the relocation team this time seems to be very experienced. They have used various methods to pester you, just not to confront you directly. Now several families have been persuaded." Xiaotao told me like this.

What he said made me have deeper doubts. I don't know if it's a coincidence or what. When I was investigating this project in my previous life, all the small loopholes that I could track down were completely blocked this time.

This kind of rigor made me feel... as if he knew what I would do, and even as if he already knew what would happen if I didn't do it.

In the previous life, because of a dispute during the relocation process, a villager fell down while pushing, hit the back of his head on the ground, and died on the spot.It is precisely because of this incident that I, who was half-believing in the relevant information on the Internet and holding a wait-and-see attitude, officially started the investigation.

Then, there were bigger shady scenes one after another. I tried my best to find out that behind this project, there was collusion between the government and businessmen, there was malpractice for personal gain, and there was disregard for human life.

But what shocked me the most was Ren Min, who turned out to be the investor of this project.

At that time, when I saw the word Ren Min, my brain immediately became a mess.

The love affair with Ren Min in college resulted in Ren Minyi leaving without hesitation.He didn't even want a master's degree, so he broke up with me that night, packed up his things and left the next day.

Then there is no audio.

I locked myself in the house I rented with him, didn't go out for a whole week, lived on dry bread, and spent more than 20 hours a day in bed.I ordered two boxes of beer for takeaway, and I just drank it uncontrollably until it was dark, calling Ren Min's cell phone over and over again, and the female voice on the phone told me: "The user you dialed has been shut down. .”

A week later, I tidied myself up, checked out and moved back to the dormitory, obediently attended classes on time, and did internships seriously in my spare time, as if Ren Min had never been in my life.

This kind of camouflage has been maintained for several years, and I have not interacted with other people, and the relationship with my classmates has always been weak.If I hadn't met Wang Jiawen, I really wouldn't have any close friends.

But Ren Min was a catastrophe in my life after all, he came back to me in an unexpected way, and at that time, I was still so happy - I finally knew where he was, And there is a reason to go to him.

Funny how I overestimated myself.I thought that with the status of this former lover, he would give me some face, and with good words of persuasion, he would not be able to make more mistakes.But I didn't expect that I waited in the living room for two hours, and his first sentence was: "If you still want to live a good life, don't investigate this matter any more."

This is not the first time I have heard this kind of words, I have seen it on the news, heard it from seniors, and experienced it myself.But I never expected that Ren Min would say this to me. After being shocked, I felt as if I had been poured a big basin of cold water, and my heart was full of disappointment.

As an investigative reporter who has been in the industry for more than a year, with a sense of justice in my heart, how could I give up halfway as he said.That day, I slammed the door and left, and then I started investigating more and more without sleep or food.

I only hate that I am still too soft-hearted, holding a lot of materials in my hand, and the manuscript is basically written, but I still haven't handed it in.I send emails to Ren Min's company mailbox every day, urging him to rein in the precipice, I don't know if he has seen it, anyway, he never responded to me.The public relations director under Ren Min called me several times, and the price was negotiable as soon as he opened his mouth, and I hung up on letting their company go.

The final result... Not only did Ren Min not rein in his horse, but he also sent me into the cliff first.
