bastard

Zhu Nanjiang had already figured it out while he was in the hospital.Only he and Wen Changling knew the place he was looking for temporarily. The assassin either followed him or Wen Changling.And he is extremely vigilant, if someone has been following him since He Mansion, he can't be unaware.

After recovering from his injuries, he returned to the patrol room and began to slowly process the captured assassin.The local ruffian didn't have a tight mouth in the first place, and he confessed everything after being whipped twice in salt water.In order not to alarm the board of directors, he quietly disposed of the person, claiming to the outside world that he was retaliated because of a personal grudge, and even Song Chenggeng kept it a secret.

Wen Changling must have been unaware of this matter.Zhu Nanjiang remembered his expression and movements at that time, it was subconsciously blocking the knife for himself.It was enough to have this heart, he even felt that it would be fine even if he died on the spot.

But after all, he didn't die, and none of them died, so this matter is not over.

Wen Changling left the hospital without saying goodbye, and he never looked for him again.

Ruan Chengzhi paid for the murder and the assassination. The other party would soon know about it. Since everyone knew the truth, he felt that he deserved an explanation.

Another half month passed, and the man didn't move at all, not only did he not move, he even hid himself.Zhu Nanjiang waited and waited, the wounds on his body were scarred, but the hole in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.

When he went to arrest people, he found that Ruan Chengzhi had been on leave for many days and didn't know where he was hiding. He wanted to ask Wen Changling about his whereabouts, but he was too angry to say so first.

He almost died under the knife of the thugs. The other party knew who was instigating the thugs, but kept silent as if nothing had happened, and even helped him hide.While blocking the knife with his own body, he also shielded the person who wanted to take his life. What is the reason for this!

Zhu Nanjiang endured the desire to question Wen Changling and squatted in the dark for many days. Before he could get the explanation he wanted, he accidentally discovered Ruan Chengzhi's trace.

The other party's reaction when he saw him chilled his heart. It was not a look of welcome or joy, but naked panic and defense.

"You follow me?"

Wen Changling took two steps back, and before he could answer, he turned around and ran in the direction he came from.Seven or eight young men with guns were already standing in the yard, but the two old men were nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Ruan Chengzhi?" He asked as he rushed into the room, but the gatekeeper raised his hand to stop him.

"Where's Ruan Chengzhi!?" He raised his voice and asked again.

"Why are you so nervous?" Zhu Nanjiang followed, "Brother, if I say that the person has been killed, what are you going to do?"

"……killed?"

Seeing his distraught appearance, Zhu Nanjiang felt restless.After calling his subordinates to whisper a few words, he took out another cigarette and held it between his fingers and held it to his mouth: "It's not dead, just kidding, it's locked in the stove."

Wen Changling breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he have the time to calm down and talk to him.

"What are you going to do with him?"

"Yu Gong, he paid for murder, I want to bring him to justice. Yu private, I almost died at his hands, what do you think I want?"

"Southern Border..."

"That man has already recruited all. Ruan Chengzhili's written evidence was found from his residence, and he will give half of the money after the matter is completed..." Zhu Nanjiang didn't light a cigarette, and his subordinates handed over the flame, but he turned a blind eye, " I said, what is going on in your minds, you scholars? Buying a murderer and leaving a handwritten note?"

Wen Changling's heart trembled, but when he looked up, he saw the other party smiling easily, not knowing what it meant.Then he suddenly discovered that the people in this yard were not police officers but ordinary thugs, and Zhu Nanjiang himself was also in civilian clothes.

"It's a good thing that not many people know about it. I've already burned everything, and all the damn things are dead. The rest..."

"leftover?"

"The rest, brother, you have the final say."

Wen Changling finally realized that there was still room for discussion on Ruan Chengzhi's matter!

Zhu Nanjiang threw away the cigarette, turned around and opened the door as a gesture of invitation, and after the two entered the room, he carefully locked the door.

"I've been waiting for so many days just for an explanation, but you still refuse to come to see me, so I have to come to you by myself."

"Nanjiang, I'm sorry..."

"Why do you have to apologize? Brother, if it weren't for you, I might be dead now."

"If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have succeeded so easily."

"I'm not here today to listen to your apology, I'm here to ask you for advice." Zhu Nanjiang sat down while leaning on the edge of the table, the smile on his face faded.

"Brother, Ruan Chengzhi is in my hands now. If you admit that he is the mastermind, I will take him away. Whether he recruits or not, he will die. If you tell me that he was framed, I will take him away." Let him go, and I won't trouble him in the future."

"I said he was innocent, do you believe it?"

"Believe... Brother, I believe everything you say."

"Nanjiang, don't be like this..." Wen Changling saw his abnormal expression, and felt bitter and uneasy: "He did it, he asked someone to follow me to the gate of Furong Tower and attack you, but I beg you to forgive me he."

"Brother, you are so cruel, you don't even want to say anything to lie to me."

"How could I lie to you."

"You can't lie to me, so are you going to force me to let go of the person who almost killed me?" Zhu Nanjiang looked up at Fangliang, "He not only almost killed me, but also almost killed my lover .”

Wen Changling understood what he meant, and felt like a lump in his throat instantly.

"You begged me to spare him, but why should I spare him? You have to give me a reason."

"I know that asking you to do so is difficult, but I can't watch him die, he is my friend... Please, Nanjiang, let him go."

"Ha! He asked why you blocked the knife for me. You said a lot of reasoning, and I asked you why you didn't let me kill him, but you admitted so readily that you didn't want him to die. Brother, why did you You value love and righteousness to him, but you want to be reasonable to me? I don’t understand reason, don’t you know?”

"Did you hear what we said?" Wen Changling didn't expect the other party to stare at him for so long, feeling a little depressed, but more helpless, "Of course I don't want you to die. Death, don't you know?"

Zhu Nanjiang suddenly stood up and faced him, his eyes were red: "I don't know! I don't know what you are thinking at all! You don't want me to die, and you don't want him to die. You have so many people to protect! But What about me? I have always had you alone! A knife stuck in your body is no different from me, he killed me twice! But you don’t want him to die!”

The chandelier on the ceiling was shaking, and the pale yellow light flickered on and off.He suddenly felt that everything in this room was not real, whether it was alive or dead, what he saw or what he didn't see.

Taking two steps forward, he knocked Wen Changling down to the corner with his body: "You know what? I finally took off the bandage and I can go to the ground. I was in a hurry to find you, but I only saw an empty bed ...you got hurt in front of me, and then walked away, just like that time..."

"Nanjiang, get up!"

"We, you and I... will always be me chasing you, asking you to answer. If I don't chase you, we will never see each other. If I don't ask, you don't say anything...Brother, I love you, I am willing to chase after you, but do you feel sorry for me even a little bit?"

"I know...I know your heart, Nanjiang!" Wen Changling pressed his shoulders to force him to be quiet, "Of course I love you, if I don't, why bother, why..."

However, Zhu Nanjiang struggled and pressed up again, tearing his clothes open with both hands: "I don't understand your reasoning, I can't figure out your thoughts, I can only see it..."

The shoulders were exposed, and there was a thumb-thick scar near the shoulder blade near the back of the neck. The fresh tender meat was bulging, like a mouth that was grinning sideways.

Zhu Nanjiang pressed the back of Wen Changling's head, hugged him tightly, and gently brushed the skin around the wound with his lips: "Only when I see it... I feel a little bit that you love me too."

At this time, Wen Changling suddenly didn't want to break free, and raised his hand to hug him back. He gently rubbed his back with his palm as if comforting.

"It is my fault."

Zhu Nanjiang pulled the palm back to cover his chest. The man's slightly callused warm palm was empty at the little finger.He burst into tears, tears streaming down his chin onto the tender red scar.

At this time, he heard Wen Changling sighing and whispering in his ear: "Where is it that you have been chasing me? I was the one who found you first from the beginning, and I refused to go to other places even if I told you to go. I know there is waiting for me...in such a dark place."

"At that time I knew you would definitely come, but now you won't, I'm afraid I'll never be able to wait for you."

"It is my fault."

"I really want to be there forever, waiting for you to come and take me away."

Wen Changling stopped talking, Zhu Nanjiang suddenly raised his hand to hold his cheek, and kissed him without saying a word.The latter retracted his neck reflexively, and was pushed forward by the back of his head, and the cold tip of his tongue pried open his teeth and penetrated into his mouth.

Immediately, he calmed down, and bent slightly following the opponent's strength.

Zhu Nanjiang desperately bit his lips and crushed the base of his tongue, as if trying to take all the air out of his chest.There was a bloody taste in his mouth gradually, and he felt pain, but it didn't stop him.

Happiness is illusory, pain is real, just like all the dreams in that night have finally become reality.

He knew this day would come sooner or later, so when he did face it, he was extraordinarily calm.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the sky outside the window is already dark.No one came to urge them, and there was a pungent smell in the air. It was the brothers outside the house who were smoking.

Zhu Nanjiang lay on Wen Changling's chest, his body was hot just now, but now it was cold again, he even felt a little cold.

"Today I let go of Ruan Chengzhi, and tomorrow there may be one more person who wants to kill me."

"I won't let him hurt you again."

"You can't stop anyone from doing what he wants."

"I can at least stop myself." Wen Changling leaned against the wall, lowered his head and gently stroked the soft hair on the back of his head with his fingers, "I will never see you again, without me, you can protect yourself very well."

The body in his arms trembled slightly, and Zhu Nanjiang laughed silently where he couldn't see: "This is the way you came up with... You attracted assassins, and I was the one who almost died. You were injured, and it was me who felt sorry for you. Say goodbye to me, it’s still me who suffers.”

"When everything is over, we can meet in an ordinary way and walk together in an ordinary way."

"In the past, you always said that I went the wrong way and asked me to turn back."

"It's too late, now I just want you to be safe."

Zhu Nanjiang got up from Wen Changling's arms, straightened his clothes, and straightened his messy hair with his hands: "You know, brother... the moment I saw you were injured, I thought, it's better to die together now. I want to die just to be with you, but you would rather not see me for the sake of safety, we really can't fall in love together."

Wen Changling looked at his profile, his slightly curled back and thin waist, a bit like when he was a child.

"I can't die, I still have a lot of things to do, so you should be safe... If you die, I really won't be able to find you."

"Will you still look for me?"

"Yes, even if you don't chase me, I can find you."
