1.5
In the dim room, a thin young man was tied to a four-poster bed, covered in sticky sweat, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his skin showed the blue-white unique to drug users. He had just survived a withdrawal reaction, and he was staring at the bed curtain above his head without any focus, not knowing what he was thinking.
The calm footsteps slowly approached. A man in an iron-gray suit and an extremely tall figure opened the door and walked to the bed to check. His dark hair was combed behind his head, revealing a very handsome face, and his narrow eyes flashed with dangerous light, which was daunting.
"I'll ask the caregiver to take a shower for you." He took out a handkerchief from his shirt pocket and wiped the cold sweat on the young man's forehead.
The young man licked his dry and cracked lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Uncle, it was Zhou Yunsheng who framed me. I remember that I had seen that woman. She and Zhou Yunsheng were drinking in jimbeambourbonwhiskey at that time, and she looked very close. He must have instructed that woman to harm me!"
This young man is Zhou Wenjing, who is now in his sophomore year. A few months ago, I soaked a beautiful woman, but unexpectedly the woman had ulterior motives and smoked a cigarette with a supplementary substance mixed with a strong drug that could become addicted in just one time. Although Zhou Wenjing was suspicious by nature and was very alert to his own safety, she had a fatal weakness, that is, she was greedy for beauty, and she would never refuse any beautiful woman.
He only realized when he first had an addiction attack, but it was too late and had to call his uncle who was far away in J Country.
Du Xulang threw the semi-wet handkerchief into the trash can without expression, and his heart was filled with anger. This anger was not believed in his nephew's accusation, but hated his disappointment. He had repeatedly instructed him not to accept things that could be heard from strangers, and also sent several bodyguards to accompany him secretly.
But the bodyguard is not a full-time nanny and cannot control the employer's private affairs. Zhou Wenjing wants to pick up girls, so they can't force them to stop him.
This is simply a self-destruction!
Du Xulang forced himself to wash his hands angrily, then picked up the landline and notified the caregiver to go upstairs to wash his nephew. Then he sat down on the sofa and said in a deep voice, "This is not something Yunsheng did. Who else have you offended? Think about it yourself."
He had found out who was behind his back, but he did not intend to tell his nephew. He didn't even know who his real enemy was. Sooner or later, he would be plotted against him. He would guide him and help him when necessary, but would not personally take action to eliminate the enemy for him. If he hadn't told his sister that she had been forced to death by Yang Xi, he would have committed suicide in Yang Xi's bathtub, and he would not have thought of killing Zhou Yunsheng.
Hate is highly contagious. His nephew hated Yang Xi and his son to the core, so he didn't ask anything and was determined to help him take revenge. If it weren't for being awakened by Zhou Yunsheng's condemnation, he would have almost become a villain who would repay his grudges. Since then, his credibility to his nephew's words has been greatly reduced.
"Who else isn't him? Who can still benefit if I'm useless?" Zhou Wenjing's thin face showed a resentment and unwilling expression. He had long noticed that his uncle's favor for Zhou Yunsheng was increasing day by day, and he also had an inexplicable attention. Once, he even found many photos of Zhou Yunsheng in his uncle's bedside table. From an angle, each of them was taken secretly, with beautiful artistic conception and vivid eyes.
Although Zhou Yunsheng is not as handsome as him, his feminine facial features have a strange attraction, especially the eyes of the clear and bright moon in the water. The moment he glances at the camera, he can simply hook a person's heart out of his chest.
The corners of the photo placed on the top were a little worn, which shows how the collector couldn't let go. If he hadn't been concerned about himself, Zhou Wenjing believed that his uncle would definitely frame the photo with a photo frame and then hang it all over the wall.
He didn't understand where this concern came from. Could it be because his mother gave his uncle a few clothes and toys when he was a child? How much kind of favor can his uncle get when he left the orphanage at the age of five? Even if she sponsored her mother, wouldn't it be enough for her to repay everything she owed her with her life?
Yes, Zhou Wenjing had realized that it was not Zhou Yunsheng's mother who forced him to death, but his mother who forced him to death. At first, he thought that his mother had cut her wrist and died in Yang Xi's bathtub in order to revenge. It was not until Zhou Yunsheng's scolding in the dark alley that day that he realized that his mother was so kind, and he must have felt guilty about Yang Xi. The reason why she died in Yang Xi's bathtub was to tell her that I'd return everything that owed you to you.
But her thoughts were too simple and blind. She did not expect that her death indirectly led to Yang Xi's death, and then forced their children to go to the path of hatred until they could no longer be resolved. Even if he was willing to let Zhou Yunsheng go, Zhou Yunsheng would never let him go.
Du Xulang frowned, dissatisfied with his nephew's extremeness and stubbornness, and said in a deep voice, "You can doubt anyone, except Yunsheng. Who can still benefit? Wouldn't you use your brain to think about it?"
Yunsheng? When did even the title become so intimate? Zhou Wenjing couldn't hide his jealousy on his face. Seeing his uncle's eyes sharp and cold, he thought about it seriously, and then thought of Zhou Wen'ang.
No, it wouldn't be Wen Ang. He was the only person who released his kindness to him when he first arrived at the Zhou family. He would secretly send him medicine to his wounds, secretly celebrate his birthday, and secretly accompany him to visit his mother's grave. How could it be him? His father had long said that since he inherited Yang Xi's inheritance, the Zhou group would have no share.
He has no conflict of interest with himself, so why should he harm himself?
Zhou Wenjing shook his head and denied this idea. After thinking hard, he still felt that Zhou Yunsheng was the mastermind behind it.
Seeing that he was always unaware of his own, Du Xulang was too lazy to speak. When the nurse arrived, he went back to the study and clicked on the video phone on the table.
"What's the matter with me?" A handsome face with a lazy expression appeared on the screen. Because of staying up late, the eyes were a little red.
"Still programming? It's already 2:30 in the morning, it's time to go to bed." Du Xulang stared at his watch, with a little concern hidden in his seemingly plain tone.
"Go to sleep right away." Zhou Yunsheng raised his head and dripped a few drops of potions to relieve dryness into his eyes.
The young man wiped off the water droplets from the corners of his eyes, and his slightly narrowed eyes were shimmering and touching, which made Du Xulang's breathing slightly suffocate. He pretended to be relaxed and leaned against the back of the chair, folded his slender legs, and spoke hoarsely when his breathing and heartbeat were steady. "Wen Jing is currently quitting drugs. Do you know Elsa?"
Elsa was the woman who lured Zhou Wenjing to take drugs. Zhou Yunsheng immediately smiled, "As sooner or later, he will die on the woman's belly." After saying that, he picked up the steaming milk on the table and drank it all, licked his lips and continued, "I know him. I gave me a cigarette with extra ingredients a few months ago. You know, my nose has always been very flexible, so I refused."
With 007 in hand, Zhou Yunsheng can adjust his physical data at will, such as enhancing the five senses, strength, mental power, etc. But he will adjust according to the world's tolerance. It is enough to reach a level that surpasses ordinary people. He will not be strong enough to the point of being against the sky, because that will cause the collapse of the world.
Before Elsa's cigarette was handed to her hands, he had already smelled the pungent smell of drugs.
Du Xulang had just let go of his heart hanging high, and heard the other person say, "Didn't you send someone to monitor me? The facts should be clear. I will not harm your nephew, you can rest assured."
"How could I monitor you? My hand is not that long." Du Xulang's pupils shrank slightly, but his face was not visible at all. He is still using a fake identity. Even Zhou Wenjing didn't know that his uncle was the helmsman of the Du family's chaebol. He only thought that he had gone to J Country to develop after resigning. He is currently a middle-level manager of a company. He has some small money but no power.
"There is no place in this world that Du Xulang's hands cannot reach. Look at this." Zhou Yunsheng took out a photo from the drawer and came to the camera.
This is the only photo of the head of the Du family captured by the media. Because it was separated by many bodyguards, the camera was far away, and only one side face was taken, and it was very blurry. Not to mention others, even Du Xulang himself might not recognize who it was. Therefore, after this photo was published, it was not banned by the Du family chaebol.
"Who could have thought that Du Xulang (the pseudonym he made up before) was Du Xulang from Country J? But the difference is just one word, and no one doubts the truth that is closest to the facts. Master Du, have you had enough fun in these years?" Zhou Yunsheng put down the photo and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Du Xulang struggled to death, "The photos are taken so blurry, how can you be sure that this person is me?"
"I forgot to tell you that our company has just developed a recognition software. Not to mention a side face, it can only capture one back of the head. The true identity of this person can be distinguished based on factors such as bones, height, weight, gait, etc. Currently, the Ministry of National Defense of Country A is preparing to buy this software at a high price to track terrorists. Why don't I demonstrate it to you now?" Zhou Yunsheng picked up the scanner and prepared to scan the photos into the computer to compare with Du Xulang's real person.
He knew that his relationship with Noah Huanyu could not be hidden from Du Xulang, so he never concealed it in front of him.
"No need, I am Du Xulang." Du Xulang smiled helplessly and asked, "When did you know?" He had realized that his identity could still be so relaxed and calm, and inexplicably, he felt very happy.
"It's almost two years. If you want to play, I will play with you. Are you satisfied?" Zhou Yunsheng reached out and wanted to turn off the video.
"Don't turn it off, I have something to tell you." Du Xulang leaned forward unconsciously and stared at the camera and spoke seriously. "I am not monitoring you, nor doubting you, but protecting you. Do you know how much trouble I have helped you block out in the past few years? The bodyguard who followed you two days ago caught a street gangster who was preparing to rob you. He was carrying a gun and the bullets were loaded. Do you know what this means?"
Zhou Yunsheng withdrew his hand and sneered, "Who is someone who wants my life?"
"Don't you know?" Du Xulang took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. The white smoke blurred the coldness in his eyes.
Zhou Yunsheng's company is getting bigger and bigger, and he will inevitably offend a few people, but the only one who really wants his life is Zhou Wen'ang after thinking about it. He thought for a moment and saw it through his eyes.
Du Xulang exhaled a mouthful of smoke and spoke softly, "You go back. Once you return to the country, he can't deal with you blatantly. It is at least much safer than abroad if you have your grandparents and uncles staring at you. A few years later, the Zhou family may not have your foothold. That is your family business, and no one is qualified to compete with you."
"Even Zhou Wenjing is not qualified?" Zhou Yunsheng asked subconsciously.
"Wen Jing is not qualified either." Du Xulang nodded affirmatively. Perhaps out of compensatory psychology, or out of sympathy, Du Xulang originally believed that the Zhou family also had Wen Jing, but now he has changed his mind. He can help Wen Jing establish his own business, but the Zhou family must be Yunsheng. He is the legitimate heir of the Zhou group.
Furthermore, he felt that the relationship between the two brothers of Zhou was very strange. The Zhou family was just an ordinary merchant, not an extremely powerful family like Du. If you fight for family property, you don’t have to use a knife and a gun to kill people. If Zhou Wen'ang won, it would be fine to drive his brother out of the house. Why did you make a fuss to the point of never stopping? The person he should hate was Wen Jing, but he was even more vicious to his own brother. This truth is completely unreasonable.
Du Xulang investigated the past of the brothers. From childhood to adulthood, Zhou Yunsheng was very caring and considerate to Zhou Wen'ang, and there was no trace of evil. He couldn't understand why Zhou Wen'ang hated Zhou Yunsheng to the point of his life.
He couldn't help but ask.
Why? Because Zhou Wen'ang's reputation is not right, if Zhou Yunsheng discovers the truth one day, he will lose everything he has now. Even if Zhou Yunsheng can't deal with him, Yang Xi's parents will make him die very ugly. Although the size of the Yang family group is not as large as Zhou's, its background is extremely complex, and its industry spans three paths of black, white and gray. Yang Xi's parents and several brothers and sisters are both cruel roles, and they are very protective of their shortcomings. The more they love Zhou Wen'ang now, how much they hate him after learning the truth.
Zhou Yunsheng was a knife hanging above Zhou Wen'ang's head, and a thorn stabbed in his heart. Only by removing Zhou Yunsheng could he really breathe a sigh of relief. Zhou's father probably had the same mentality, otherwise he would not instigate his eldest son to alienate the Yang family.
At this moment, Zhou Yunsheng thought a lot, but did not intend to tell Du Xulang a word. He sneered while taking off his clothes, "What do you care about so much, I will solve my own business. If he likes Zhou, take it, I haven't seen it yet. My Noah Huanyu will crush Zhou one day."
Throwing away his clothes and scattering his hair, he walked straight into the bathroom to take a shower, and even forgot to turn off the camera.
The young boy back then has grown into a handsome young man. Because he stayed at home for a long time, his skin was fair and almost transparent, but the tight muscles on his abdomen and graceful mermaid lines showed that he had undergone good exercise. He stood up and untied his belt, revealing his flexible and powerful waist. Because his buttocks were too perky, his trousers did not continue to slide down, but were loosely stuck on his hips.
That lazy and casual look is so touching.
Du Xulang looked at it in a daze, and when the young man walked out of the camera, he even poked his neck out and tried to follow the past.
The young man took a quick shower, walked out with a towel tied around his waist, and his straight and slender legs attracted the man's attention again. He seemed not to notice the man's weird expression and stiff sitting posture, and said good night and turned off the video.
The beautiful scene disappeared, and Du Xulang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and smiled bitterly on his forehead. He seemed to have been lured, but the tragic thing was that the other party had no intention at all.
----------------
Does Zhou Yunsheng really have no meaning? As soon as he turned off the camera, he curled his lips and smiled. He is gay and has a very high vision. Du Xulang has two pairs, all of which are top-notch. He doesn't eat the best, but goes to find a substitute. Before Zhou Yunsheng can get to that point.
