compromise

The author has something to say:

☆, (one hundred)

"All rise. The judges are invited to enter the courtroom."

"Report to the presiding judge, it is ready, the court can now start, and all sit down."

Wen Qiyu mechanically stood up and sat down, but he didn't take his eyes off Gu Yan who was in the jury seat for a moment.Even if he felt the probing eyes from the dock, Wen Qiyu had no time to pay attention.

Wen Qiyu's gaze was focused on Gu Yan.Gu Yan, on the other hand, kept his head slightly lowered, his slightly long maroon bangs covered his eyes, so as not to reveal any emotion.

Gu Yan, why don't you look at me.

"Now, regarding the case of Gu Cheng's malicious competition, fraud, and bribery of officials, the court is now officially open. Regarding the accusations made by the plaintiff, Gu Cheng, do you admit it?"

"I admit."

Gu Cheng's voice was not high, but Wen Qiyu's eyes widened in shock.He suddenly turned his gaze to Gu Cheng, his face full of disbelief.

The presiding judge also seemed surprised: "...you... temporarily adjourn the court..."

"Wait a minute." Gu Cheng interrupted the presiding judge, "I want to confess. Regarding the bribery, I was forced. Zhang Yi forced me to give him money. He asked for a bribe on his own initiative, not me offering it."

After finishing speaking, Gu Cheng took the initiative to meet Wen Qiyu's eyes.Wen Qiyu couldn't help frowning.Wen Qiyu couldn't see through the deep meaning in Gu Cheng's eyes.

Wen Qiyu's mind was in a mess at the moment.This is a trap?Or discovery of conscience?Or is it a Shezuo car?Or retreat to advance?Also, Gu Yan, what does Gu Yan think of me?Will Gu Yan... hate me?

Wen Qiyu suddenly remembered what Li Zhe said to himself two hours ago before returning to the United States: "I am [-]% sure that Gu Cheng will not deny it. Don't worry too much, the doctor said you are sick from overwork... Dad goes back to take care of some things, and then help You arrange a hospital to recuperate your body, this case and the matter between you and Gu Yan are settled, you will come to the United States to find your father. Remember?"

At that time, I just felt touched. The previous so-called "Gu Cheng will not deny it", Wen Qiyu only thought it was Li Zhe comforting himself.But now it turned out to be such an ending, Wen Qiyu couldn't help wondering, how did Li Zhe get the so-called "[-]% certainty"?What happened behind this that he didn't know about?

Wen Qiyu's heart was so disturbed that the things in front of him began to blur.The trial ended inexplicably, and the judges left in an orderly manner. Wen Qiyu saw that Gu Yan's figure was also among the leaving crowd, leaving him little by little.

At that moment, Wen Qiyu felt that nothing was important.Everything is blurred.Only Gu Yan's figure occupied his entire line of sight.He stood up abruptly, stumbled and ran towards Gu Yan, but fell to the ground without taking a few steps.

During the whole process, Gu Cheng has been watching quietly.

Looking at Wen Qiyu's heavy fall to the ground and Gu Yanfu's back as if leaving, Gu Cheng was thoughtful.

Li Zhe, you look at things too poisonous.Gu Cheng couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.Laughing that I knew so much, and after watching for so long, I couldn't see clearly that the relationship between my son and Wen Qiyu had already crossed the line. These changes in the Gu family made the two of them more entangled.

In fact, before the trial, Li Zhe came to see Gu Cheng.

Li Zhe handed over his business card when they met, and spoke politely and unambiguously: "Mr. Gu, hello. My name is Li Zhe, and I am a lawyer. I see you today because I hope you will plead guilty."

"Mr. Li doesn't think this is too whimsical?" Gu Cheng's tone was unconsciously sarcasm.

"Even if you plead not guilty, you will definitely be sentenced. I believe you know the plaintiff's evidence this time, so I don't need to remind you. Besides," Li Zhe rubbed his temples, "you are a father, and you will definitely think about your children .No matter which crime you get away with, that crime will implicate Gu Yan. As the current president of the Gu Corporation, Gu Yan cannot be completely clean."

Gu Cheng was silent, but his hands on the table were tightly clasped together.

"Plus, Lin Ying is also a witness. If you deny it, Gu Kaka will be the first to hate you."

"Enough!" Gu Cheng slammed his hand on the table.After a long time, Gu Cheng suppressed his anger and stretched his clenched fists again.

Li Zhe noticed Gu Cheng's small movements, and he relaxed a little, "You must be wondering why I came here to tell you this. Or you already know that my other identity is Wen Qiyu's biological father."

Gu Cheng just looked up at Li Zhe, without any surprise in his eyes.

"It seems that you already know." Li Zhe no longer looked directly at Gu Cheng, but looked down at the desktop: "If there is a choice, I also hope that Wen Qiyu can marry a wife and have children, and live an ordinary and happy life. But, I am a Incompetent father. When I was able to participate in A Yu's life, he already... I don't think I have the right to interfere with his feelings. In addition, I have seen the way Gu Yan looked at A Yu, I know, Gu Yan I love Ayu so much. That’s enough. I don’t care how chaotic the Gu family is, or the grievances and grievances between you and other people. I just hope that Ayu can be happy and happy. So, I hope to end all of this .”

"I said this just to let you know that the reason why I told you to plead guilty is to help you for Ayu's sake. First, you can reduce your sentence if you plead guilty; second, Gu Yan can avoid being implicated. It is also what A Yu wants to see. As for A Yu and Gu Yan," Li Zhe sighed, "If you object, I will not say anything. The relationship between them has reached this point, there is little hope. But I have to say, if The two reconciled, and the biggest beneficiary is Gu's. You, a father, know exactly what kind of person Gu Yan is. Gu's business has been able to run until now, and Wen Qiyu's role in it, I don't think I need to say too much Said. Wen Qiyu did not hesitate to destroy his reputation in order to protect the Gu family before, but I will let the media report this lawsuit so that the public can see the price that Ayu paid to maintain justice, so as to restore Ayu’s reputation .If you continue to forcibly deny it, you will only serve as a foil for A Yu, showing how dirty the Gu family is. For Gu Yan, Kaka, and Gu family, I hope you will be cautious. This is all I have to say."

When Wen Qiyu chased him out of the court, Gu Yan was nowhere to be seen.

Facing the endless crowds and traffic, Wen Qiyu was a little at a loss.As if his whole body was emptied in an instant, Wen Qiyu sat weakly on the sidewalk and lit a cigarette.

Gu Yan, can we go back?

The impulsiveness and sadness at that moment just settled quickly in this ever-flowing city.The sky was getting dark, and the lights of Wanjia made this Wen Qiyu's mood no longer so helpless and desolate.

Looking at the parents leading their children across the road, the happy children smiling with candies, the office workers hurrying with their heads down, and the old people cuddling each other and walking slowly, Wen Qiyu's heart became quiet.

Justice is the only force that maintains order.

Only order can make this society a shelter for the vast majority of people.

Otherwise, this society will become a hotbed of hatred and filth.

So, what I did was the right thing.

Wen Qiyu sighed, and found that he was still wearing a lawyer's robe, so he got up and walked into the court again, intending to change the lawyer's robe.

As soon as he entered the court, a guard ran towards him: "Lawyer Wen! Lawyer Wen! Cui Yi committed suicide! Your name is written on his suicide note!"

Wen Qiyu couldn't react for a while, he numbly took the piece of paper handed to him by the guard, there were only two sentences on it——

"Dad, I've gone too far and I can't turn back.

Wen Qiyu,

I regret not meeting you sooner. "
