Looking at the bright moon

He was busy until three o'clock in the afternoon, before He Lingshan finished handling the matter at hand.He stood up and rubbed his stiff shoulders and neck. A servant hurried to the study and called out, "Young Master, Mr. Jiang has arrived and is waiting for you in the guest room in the front yard."

Jiang Li only called him on the school phone in the morning, saying that he wanted to discuss something with him, but he arrived so early.He Lingshan hurriedly washed his ink-stained hands and walked all the way to the front yard. Jiang Li was indeed sitting in the guest room, holding his chin with one hand and playing with the leaves of a pot of gardenias.He Lingshan saw that his brows were tightly furrowed, his expression was in a daze, and he didn't even notice that he had arrived, so he couldn't help stretching out his hand in front of the other person's eyes, calling him: "Why are you in a daze?"

Jiang Li was so startled that he bounced up, rubbed his chest and said, "Why do you make no sound when you walk, my heart almost jumped out of fright."

It's hard to say that He Lingshan was absent-minded, so he didn't even hear his own footsteps. The distress on Jiang Li's face just now may be due to some embarrassing things.He pushed a plate of cream biscuits in front of the other party, and said casually, "How are you doing recently?"

"Of course." Jiang Li lowered his head shyly: "My job is very leisurely, and the salary is enough, but Jiang Lan... She made a lot of friends in the school, and she hangs out with them every day. , I don't even know if I should discipline her or not."

He Lingshan grew up with them, and treated Jiang Lan like his own sister, so he was very indulgent: "It's not a bad thing for women to have their own social life nowadays. Xingli is about the same age as her, and she can't do without her friends for half a moment."

"Who is Xingli?" Jiang Li just finished asking, and soon seemed to think of something, and rarely showed a narrow smile: "Okay, I never thought that you would make a girlfriend without saying a word, if you don't explain clearly today, I won't let you go."

Jiang Li's troubles had not been resolved yet, so he took the time to inquire about He Lingshan's fate, and when He Lingshan told him the truth, Jiang Li sighed regretfully.People who are in love often like to be a matchmaker for their friends, and when they have a partner, they can't see the people around them being alone. Besides, He Lingshan is such an outstanding young man, how can he never get the favor of the opposite sex so far.

The topic touched on love, Jiang Li finally remembered why he came today: "Xiao Sheng, are you free tomorrow?"

He hesitated to speak, looking at his fingers sadly: "Ya Ru invited me to go to the concert with her tomorrow night, you know, I have never been to such an occasion, and I am afraid of making a joke in front of her. You are a young master now, you must have heard the concert, right? If you are by my side to take care of me, I will be much more relaxed. "

After much deliberation, he did not expect this to be what he wanted.Even though Jiang Li guessed correctly, He Lingshan still politely declined: "You two are dating, how can I get in the way?"

"Not only... not just Yaru, but also her friends." Jiang Li blushed and looked at him: "If I make Yaru lose face in front of my friends, she will blame me to death!"

Jiang Li and his sweetheart come from very different backgrounds, and when they get along with her, they are always at a disadvantage. Now instead of explaining their difficulties to Yaru, they come to him for help, presumably because they want to retain some dignity on their sweetheart's side.He Lingshan understood his friend's embarrassment, and thought that he had nothing important to do tomorrow, so he agreed: "When will you go out tomorrow, I will pick you up."

His straightforwardness made Jiang Li very happy, he held his hand and thanked him several times before he said goodbye happily.The fact that his good friend who was always introverted could lose his composure like this shows how much that Ms. Song holds in Jiang Li's heart. Perhaps in the near future, he will have another wedding banquet.He Lingshan thought it funny, and when he was on the phone with Wen Mingyu, he casually told the other party about it.

Wen Mingyu's focus is quite different from his, only asking: "Where is the concert?"

He Lingshan told the other party the address, and Wen Mingyu pondered for a moment after listening to it, and said: "It doesn't start until nine o'clock in the evening, and it's still a hotel outside the city. Remember to come back early after listening."

Calculating the distance from Jin'an to Yancheng, if Wen Mingyu leaves tomorrow morning, she should reach Longyuan in the middle of the night.He Lingshan had a clear hope, his heart lightened up, and he pretended to be calm and said: "It doesn't matter if you are late, just waiting for you to go home."

The other party laughed lightly on the other end: "Don't do stupid things, I still have things to finish, you might as well save your energy until the morning after tomorrow."

Another day later, He Lingshan was not happy, and accused him: "You don't mean what you say."

"I'm really sorry." Wen Mingyu apologized solemnly: "If you want to settle the score, just wait until I come back."

He actually used the term of settling accounts. After the two met, He Lingshan was often the one who was taught a lesson. If it were him to teach Wen Mingyu a lesson, he would never be able to do it.Of course He Lingshan refused to face up to his own lack of prospects, and he should be straightforward, but he knew very well in his heart that when that person came back, it would be too late for him to be happy, and he would not care about settling accounts.

In the evening of the second day, He Lingshan went to pick up his friend at an appointment, and the two of them drove out of the city together, and when they arrived at the Baifeng Hotel, they saw only Yaru waiting there.She is wearing an emerald-colored western-style dress today, with her snow-white shoulders covered by short sleeves made of gauze, she is very slim and pretty.Jiang Li couldn't bear to turn his eyes when he saw it. It took a long time to meet him and asked, "Didn't you say there are other friends? Has she arrived yet?"

"She's not coming! I went to find her just now, only to find out that she caught a cold last night and is lying on the bed taking medicine now." Yaru looked at He Lingshan who was standing aside, her eyes widened in surprise, and immediately Nodding to him, he said with a smile: "You two have a deep friendship. I just mentioned going to the concert, and the first thing he thought of was you. If my classmate saw you, she might regret not coming together. .”

He Lingshan was very calm in the face of other people's teasing, he just smiled lightly and didn't answer.

The venue was set up in the auditorium on the second floor of the hotel. Right now, there were seven to eighty eight spectators. There were more than a dozen rows of seats from top to bottom, and the crowds were filled with heads.He Lingshan had attended a few concerts before, but they were all out of social entertainment and had nothing to do with interest.He is an unrefined person, and now that he has a high status, he still doesn't have the extravagant hobbies of rich young masters.After sitting for a while without interest, his thoughts slowly turned to Wen Mingyu, that person should be on his way back.He Lingshan's concerns were contradictory. He wanted the other party to come back quickly, but he was also afraid that he would be too hard to drive overnight, so he felt that it would be better to delay the journey.

There was a melodious and melodious tune in my ear, He Lingshan couldn't judge the beauty, but just listened absent-mindedly.Yaru, who was sitting across from him, was a little restless for some reason, and would move every once in a while. When halftime came, she finally pulled the corner of Rajangli's clothes and whispered something in his ear.

Not knowing what they were talking about, Jiang Li immediately put on a nervous expression, unbuttoned his suit jacket a few times, and handed it to Yaru beside him.

Jiang Li made an inexplicable gesture to He Lingshan who was looking over, pulled up the hem of his clothes, gestured a few times behind his waist, and pointed at Yaru.He Lingshan was stunned for a few seconds, until he met the flushed Yaru, and realized that there must be something wrong with her dress.He was also a little embarrassed at the moment, and hurriedly waved to Jiang Li, signaling them to deal with it.

Just after the song was played, Jiang Li took Yaru and left. He Lingshan didn't take this little episode to heart, and waited for them to come back wholeheartedly.However, after 10 minutes passed, the two seats beside him were still empty, and there was no sign of Jiang Li and Yaru.He Lingshan is used to worrying about his friends, and he knows that Jiang Li can't abandon him for no reason, only thinking that the other party may be in trouble.He couldn't sit still any longer, and was about to wait a while before going out to find someone, but before he could leave, there was a sudden commotion behind him, people's voices buzzing loudly.

He Lingshan turned his head and found that there was an extra person in the aisle in the middle of the seat. He was tall and stood abruptly among the audience sitting in the hall, as if he was looking for someone.He Lingshan immediately recognized him just by meeting him. Wen Mingyu is such an outstanding person. Even if he is dusty and tired, he is still like a pearl among the gravel in the crowd, and his brilliance cannot be concealed. of.

He didn't care about etiquette, and stood up abruptly. Wen Mingyu finally found him, and let out a long breath, as if he was relieved. He had never seen Wen Mingyu so nervous.

The man quickly came to him and grabbed his hand: "Come out with me!"

He Lingshan didn't have time to speak, and was pulled out of his seat by the other party in a rare embarrassment, and left the auditorium without stopping.

The sonorous and bright music was gradually left behind by them. He Lingshan is still in a daze, feeling that everything in front of him is like his imagination.How could Wen Mingyu, who was supposed to arrive tomorrow morning, appear here, and why did he come here alone, and where did the people who followed him go?Seeing that the other party's face was as serious as ice, He Lingshan's heart beat violently, and he had a very bad premonition.

"What happened?" He finally found a chance to ask, and thought of Jiang Li and Yaru who had not returned home for some reason: "My friends are still here, I want to find them."

Wen Mingyu frowned, and said in a cold voice, "They came with you, why aren't they here now?"

He Lingshan was startled: "They just walked away because of something..."

Speaking of this, even if He Lingshan was reluctant to doubt, he still realized that today's invitation was a bit strange.But Jiang Li is a friend who is willing to risk his life for him, how could he harm him, he thought carefully about Jiang Li's words and deeds yesterday and tonight, and found nothing unusual, otherwise he would not be able to deceive him.To be able to be so thoughtful is either due to the extreme skill in acting, or because one is really ignorant and has become the knife that kills people in a daze.He Lingshan gritted his teeth fiercely, he knew it must be the latter, Jiang Li didn't have that much ability, a cowardly and kind person by nature, he couldn't frame his friends from childhood to adulthood no matter what, and he could still talk and laugh as usual without revealing his flaws.

That must be Song Yaru, because she is the person Jiang Li likes wholeheartedly, and he has never had any doubts about her.She met Jiang Li during the three years when she left. The people behind her really planned and planned for so long, but today it finally came in handy and caught him off guard.

But how did Wen Mingyu find out?As the person involved, even though he was kept a secret, this person is far away in Jin'an, how could he have expected that what awaited him today might be a grand banquet?

Wen Mingyu noticed that the hand she was holding turned around and squeezed it tightly, so she guessed that He Lingshan was also very disturbed.He sighed softly, rubbed the back of the young man's hand comfortingly a few times, and wanted to explain to him well, but the timing was not right now, and he didn't know where to start.When he heard He Lingshan talk about Baifeng Restaurant and it was a meeting with friends, he didn't think much about it.But on the way back, Wen Mingyu was always worried, feeling that something was wrong.Fortunately, Xu Hancheng was by his side. He was arranged to resettle the Jiang Li brothers and sisters, so he knew something about the situation there.When Xu Hancheng mentioned that Jiang Li had a female friend named Song, Wen Mingyu finally caught the clues hidden in it.

Speaking of it, it involves a lot, as far as his previous generation.The reason why Jingyuan took refuge in Lingyi, and Lingyi had an incomparably similar face to his dead brother Bihe, was not a coincidence.The mothers of Lingyi and Bihe both come from the Song family, and they are sisters of the same mother.Mr. Wen had a good relationship with Ruan Hejiang when he was young. When his younger sister went to visit her sister at her brother-in-law's house, she immediately fell in love with Ruan Hejiang who was a guest at Wen's house, and wanted to marry him desperately.At that time, Ruan Hejiang already had a wife and family, and his family did not want Miss Jiao, who had been carefully cared for since childhood, to be a concubine. Second Miss Song searched for life and death, and finally betrayed her family, changed her name and surname, and followed Ruan Hejiang to Huqing alone. No more news came.

More than ten years ago, Bihe died at the hands of Wen Mingyu. The eldest wife of the Wen family lost her beloved son, and she hanged herself not long after.The Song family has been businessmen for generations, they don't know the inside story, and they also feel that they don't have the ability to provoke Wen Mingyu, so they have always kept their duties.If He Lingshan hadn't mentioned the Baifeng Hotel under the Song family's name, Wen Mingyu would never have thought of them.

Few people know about this dusty past, and now it is the Baifeng Hotel, and it is Song Yaru who appeared out of thin air, so how could he stop thinking about it.Wen Mingyu was so anxious that he blamed himself for being too negligent. He was on the way, and it was too late to send someone to inform He Lingshan, so he could only find ways to shorten the distance and rush here without stopping.Originally, as the head of the family, he shouldn't have risked himself knowing that there was a trap ahead, but the person who was in crisis was He Lingshan, and sending anyone there was not as reassuring as him going into battle himself.No matter how exquisite and transparent a person is, when his sweetheart's life is in danger, he still chooses a stupid method.

Seeing He Lingshan right now, Wen Mingyu's heart was relieved a little, and at the same time, he felt lucky—fortunately, he came, and the few people who accompanied him were all sent out by him to search for He Lingshan. In the end, he was the one who got something. He was more sure than anyone else. The child is thoughtful.

They walked through the corridor and came to the empty front hall. Along the way, half of them were missing. This abnormality almost verified Wen Mingyu's guess.

He Lingshan was panicked. If he was the only one in the current situation, he might not be so flustered.But Wen Mingyu was also there, and his hand was painfully held by Wen Mingyu, just like he would protect the other party desperately in a crisis, Wen Mingyu would also protect him desperately, this is what He Lingshan is most afraid of.

Before he could express his worries, the lights above the two of them flickered on and off for a few times, and then went out suddenly.The brightly lit hotel was instantly plunged into boundless darkness, and there were faint exclamations and screams coming from everywhere, making this deep night a bit more evil and chaotic for no reason.He Lingshan tightly strangled Wen Mingyu's fingers, fearing that they would get separated because of this, he vaguely remembered the way when he came, and said to Wen Mingyu: "The stairs are on the left, let's go down."

Wen Mingyu responded, and then comforted him softly: "Don't panic, I'm right here, even if they want to touch you, they are not my opponent."

At this moment Wen Mingyu almost forgot that He Lingshan was also a person who walked through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and only protected him as a child.In fact, he also felt guilty in private. He Lingshan encountered many dangers in the past, and he was not able to stay by his side once.Whether as a father or as a lover, it was time for him to accompany him through life and death.

He Lingshan was walking in front before, but living in the darkness where he could not see his fingers, his steps were inevitably hindered, and he soon fell behind Wen Mingyu.On the contrary, Wen Mingyu still walked fast and steadily. He Lingshan was led by him without even encountering any bumps.He couldn't help being ashamed, and called out: "Mingyue."

"Huh?" Wen Mingyu thought he was afraid, stopped and hugged him: "Can you see the road clearly?"

His aura calmed He Lingshan a lot. Just as he was about to answer the other party, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching here. There were more than one person, and there were movements upstairs and downstairs.He Lingshan took a breath, and subconsciously took two steps forward, blocking Wen Mingyu behind him.

Wen Mingyu obviously heard it too, without hesitation for a moment, he led He Lingshan downstairs.

They soon collided with the people coming head-on, and it was pitch black. He Lingshan could only judge the number of people from the sound of footsteps.Fortunately, there were only four or five people, not as many as he had imagined.It seemed that they didn't expect them to come so fast, and Wen Mingyu caught them off guard.He Lingshan walked behind, only to feel that Wen Mingyu let go of his hand, and immediately there was a muffled sound of limbs colliding. After a painful groan, a black shadow was kicked down the stairs in the air, and after rolling to the bottom, there was no more sound.

Wen Mingyu's actions were much more ruthless and straightforward than his, and before He Lingshan even had time to participate, three of the five had fallen.One of them found an opportunity to rush towards He Lingshan, but before he got close, Wen Mingyu elbowed him on the back, grabbed his head and twisted it back, and died without making a sound.

The pursuers also arrived at this moment, how could He Lingshan let Wen Mingyu deal with these people alone.He took the initiative to meet them, and the group of people turned out to be armed with knives. He Lingshan grabbed the hand of one of them, kicked his foot in the direction of the sound of footsteps, and kicked his companion down.Wen Mingyu was still by his side, and he didn't allow any accidents. After seeing the figure floating on the stairs with a little light, he shot suddenly, and a puddle of hot, fishy liquid splashed on his face accompanied by screams.

There was a steady stream of people chasing and intercepting. He Lingshan had changed the knife several times, and his hands trembled slightly due to excessive exertion.Wen Mingyu, who was guarding the front, had to deal with more people. Occasionally, when he escaped from the pursuers, He Lingshan would touch the opponent's body twice and ask a few questions. He didn't feel relieved until he learned that Wen Mingyu was not injured.

You only need to pass through another corridor, and the front door is the hotel gate. Wen Mingyu didn't boast, they fought all the way here, and almost no one could stop him.However, He Lingshan was still worried. During the previous fight, he realized that these pursuers were all desperadoes, and they couldn't relax for a moment until they got rid of them.

There were many people guarding outside the corridor, and He Lingshan was entangled by several people, and when he couldn't get away, he suddenly heard a gunshot piercing the night, which made him almost unable to hold the knife in his hand.

The gunshot was not on his side, He Lingshan was out of his mind, he cut a road regardless, and ran forward: "Mingyu?"

There was another gunshot, and He Lingshan heard the sound of the body falling to the ground, and he could vaguely see someone standing in front of him, whose figure was very familiar to him.A lot of people fell under the other party's feet, still standing upright, and seemed to smile at him: "I'm fine."

He held He Lingshan's hand, the palm was damp and hot, whether it was blood or sweat, he said, "Let's go, let's go out."

He Lingshan finally exhaled the breath that had been kept in his chest, He Lingshan nodded, and could vaguely see the open door in front of him.The light from the street lamp slanted into the floor, and the bright light made him feel more at ease.After walking a few steps, his body sank, and Wen Mingyu leaned forward without a sound, putting half of his body weight on him, acting like a spoiled child, he was at a loss for a while, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Maybe it's because I'm old." Wen Mingyu said lazily, "I'm a little tired."

Seemingly no one came up again, He Lingshan slowed down and asked tentatively, "Shall I carry you?"

Wen Mingyu chuckled and pulled his wrist: "Let's go, we can't stay here for long."

The two passed through layers of darkness, and when they were not far from the gate, several footsteps rushed towards here, and at the same time someone called out: "Third Master, is that you? Have you found the young master?"

It was Xu Hancheng's voice, He Lingshan relaxed completely, and immediately responded, "It's us."

Xu Hancheng stood in front of them panting, and when they got close, He Lingshan realized that he was also in a mess, his clothes were soaked in blood, and he had obviously fought with someone.He wiped off his sweat and was about to say something, but when his gaze fell on Wen Mingyu, Xu Hancheng's face suddenly changed, and he called out with a trembling voice, "Third Master, what's going on with you?"

Only then did He Lingshan realize that something was wrong, and turned his head to look at the people around him in horror.

The light outside the door was finally able to reach them, Wen Mingyu's hair on the sideburns was soaked with sweat, even her eyebrows and eyelashes were wet with water, and her face was bloodless.He pressed his right chest with one hand, the whole palm of his hand was soaked bright red with blood, even the white shirt inside had a shocking dark color, it was just that the gun really hit him.

There was a buzzing sound in He Lingshan's ears, the sky was falling and the ground was falling, if it wasn't for Wen Mingyu's support, he would hardly even be able to stand still.

He wanted to speak, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't squeeze out a sound for a long time.But the current situation does not allow him to panic, He Lingshan bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, regained consciousness under the intense pain, hugged Wen Mingyu, and shouted to Xu Hancheng: "Hurry up and drive!"

Xu Hancheng hurriedly ran out, He Lingshan followed behind him, and heard Wen Mingyu coughing in his arms, blood dripping from his lips to his chin.He saw that his teeth began to bump up and down, and he wiped the blood foam on the other's lips with trembling hands.

"You have nothing to do, please," he hardly knew what he was talking about, he just begged repeatedly: "Mingyue, you have nothing to do..."

Wen Mingyu raised his hand to wipe his cheeks, his hands were covered with wet marks, and He Lingshan's eyes were frighteningly red. At this moment, he might even hate himself.After getting into the car, Wen Mingyu panted, and held He Lingshan's face with the last bit of strength, and said in his ear, "Lingshan, listen to me!"

The fingertips on the side of his face were icy cold, and He Lingshan stared at him with wide-eyed eyes, his expression extremely panicked.

"It's not your fault." Wen Mingyu's voice was very soft, but her words were very clear: "I came to save you because I like you, and I am willing to do this, and it has nothing to do with you."

At this time, this person is still afraid that he will blame himself.He Lingshan whimpered, held the other's hand and pressed it to his face, trying to give him some warmth.He has been without a family since he was a child, even if there are Jiang Li brothers and sisters who depend on each other for life, they are not blood relatives after all, no matter how close they are, there is a limit.Only Wen Mingyu knows what he really wants, and only Wen Mingyu can satisfy all his desires. If he loses Wen Mingyu, he will be no different from a walking dead.

"For the next period of time... the inside and outside of the Wen family will be entrusted to you." Wen Mingyu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes tirelessly, and told him: "Since you want to make plans for me, you should hold on well. Don't worry me, I know you can do it, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed heart-piercingly again.He Lingshan couldn't restrain himself anymore, sobbed and cried out, unable to answer Wen Mingyu's words at all.

Wen Mingyu smiled, as if she wanted to comfort him, but before she could speak, the hand that was on He Lingshan's cheek slipped down first, and fell powerlessly to his side.

He Lingshan's throat tightened, and he didn't even dare to lower his head. It took him a long time to put his face close to the person in his arms.

It wasn't until the faint warm breath brushed against his face that he seemed to come back to life after death, calling out hoarsely, "Mingyue?"

Wen Mingyu didn't answer, he closed his eyes, as if he was sleeping soundly, his expression was soft and peaceful.

He Lingshan was terrified, big tears dripped on Wen Mingyu's face, he didn't bother to wipe them off, and desperately wanted to keep her: "Dad, don't leave me behind."
