the knife of love

Chapter 120 Exposure

"Why did you wake up?" Guan slightly asked.

Tang Jingcheng's eyes turned red all of a sudden: "I just dreamed that something happened to my dad, and someone shot him."

Bang—she woke up with a fright.

Guan slightly squeezed her chin, then swept her forehead with his lips: "It's just a dream, your father will be fine."

"Really?"

"Well, I promise!" He put his arms around the woman in his arms, "It's still early, sleep a little longer, and I'll accompany you to the police station again after dawn."

Tang Jingcheng was always very obedient in his arms.

"it is good."

Guan Lue soon fell asleep without knowing it. He almost didn't close his eyes all night. He slept quite deeply at that time. He didn't know how long he slept. Finally, he was awakened by the ringing of the mobile phone.

Lao Mai's voice on the phone was slightly excited: "I just received the news that someone brought a real jade unicorn to the city bureau this morning and surrendered."

"..." Guan slightly remained silent.

Old Mai was surprised: "Why do you react like this?"

"if not?"

Lao Mai suddenly understood: "Did you talk to Su Hongzhi last night? The person who surrendered himself was a scapegoat sent by Su Hongzhi?"

Guan Lue glanced at the person who was still sleeping soundly in his arms, and suppressed his voice: "I'm here with Tang Jingcheng, we'll talk about it when we meet."

He hung up the phone, and Tang Jingcheng moved restlessly in his arms.

Guan smiled slightly, wrapped his arms around her belly lightly, and kissed her forehead in his sleep.

At that moment, his heart was gentle and peaceful, and he had even thought about things far in the future. When Tang Ji's matter settled down, he would take Tang Jingcheng for a comprehensive prenatal checkup.

Regardless of whether the child can be kept or not, whether he is healthy or not, he has already identified this woman in his life.

Tang Jingcheng was still in a bad mood after waking up, her mind was full of Tang Ji's case, so she never thought of confessing to Guan Lue about the child.

In the afternoon, Guan Lue took her lawyer to accompany her to the police station. The family members were still unable to enter, but the situation has improved significantly now, because someone turned himself in with stolen goods. As long as the pair of jade unicorns come back, the case will not be investigated. Heaven breaking.

The lawyer went in and explained the situation to Tang Ji, and the lawyer came out about half an hour later.

"What did my dad say?" Tang Jingcheng asked the lawyer anxiously.

The lawyer breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Tang did not admit anything in his statement, and now the stolen goods are back, so this case is not as difficult as imagined. Mr. Tang is not the main person involved in the case. Now the real culprit has been brought to justice, and he confessed to the case , Mr. Tang was involved without knowing it, and at most he will be sentenced to dereliction of duty."

Guan smiled slightly.

This was a situation he had expected a long time ago, and he also knew that Tang Ji was not stupid, and he would never "speech nonsense" in front of the police before the matter was completely clear.

But Tang Jingcheng was still impatient.

"Then how many years will my father be sentenced if he is convicted?"

The lawyer hesitated: "It's hard to say, because after all, it is a national treasure worth [-] million yuan, and it was swapped during Mr. Tang's tenure. If it weren't for someone anonymously reporting him, he would still be kept in the dark, so this situation It can be heavy or light..."

This becomes an unknown.

All unknowns will make Tang Jingcheng fear.

"My dad is innocent, and nothing can happen to my dad." Her voice started to tremble again. She had never recovered from her nervous disorder, but now affected by Tang Ji's incident, the key point is that she has been stopping medication for a while.

Guan Lue was worried that she would not be able to bear it, so he stabilized her first: "There will be no major problems. As long as this kind of case is not exposed, everything that follows will be easy to handle."

"Really?" Tang Jingcheng looked at Guan Lue in a daze. These were probably the two words she asked the most these two days.

"Really, believe me!" This is also the most frequently answered sentence by Guan Lue.

At this juncture, he did not allow Tang Ji to have an accident.

On the way back, Tang Jingcheng's mood finally stabilized a little, and he proposed to go back to Tang's house to pack some changes of clothes for Tang Ji and ask the lawyer to send them in.

Tang Ji will be handed over to the detention center tomorrow, and he won't be able to get out for a while. This case must be sentenced, and Tang Jingcheng has accepted this fact.

Seeing that her condition had improved, Guan Lue asked the driver to take her to the Tang residence.

"I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. I will pick you up for dinner tonight."

"Yes." Tang Jingcheng was not clingy.

Guan Lue got off the car, stopped the taxi at the intersection and called Lao Mai.

Half an hour later, the two met at the apartment in the garden.

Lao Mai came almost aggressively.

"Are you really planning to keep Tang Ji?"

"..."

"Just because of Tang Jingcheng and the child in her belly? What about Lou Qingxiao? She has been with you for so many years, and now you want to send her to the United States alone because of her enemy?" Lao Mai's mind was full of thoughts. question.

Guan slightly didn't answer, just sat on the sofa and smoked.

"Are you crazy? Okay, even if you really like Tang Jingcheng so much, have you ever thought about the problems between you? Now you have saved Tang Ji for her, but don't forget how Qiu Qiguan died !"

This is perhaps the last question Guan Lue wants to face.

He took a sharp drag on his cigarette: "She'll never know!"

"But these are all facts, nothing is more indestructible than facts! Even if you kill everyone who knows the truth, even if you turn the world upside down, she will know one day!"

"It's impossible for me to let her know!" Guan Luemo yelled out his voice.

Lao Mai didn't care, walked to the sofa and forced him: "Okay, what if she finds out someday? Have you thought about the consequences? Didn't you listen to the recorder I gave you before? That girl only dreamed of A Qiu Qiguan, she herself admitted in hypnosis, she only regards you as a physical comfort, what are you? Lao Jiu, when you really turn her face, you are nothing in her heart!"

"It doesn't matter who says anything, at least I'm still the father of the child in her womb!" This is Guan Lue's only belief at this time. For this belief, he can turn all right and wrong, and make all difficult decisions, including hurting him recklessly. Lou Qingxiao.

Lao Mai felt that Guan Lue at that moment was simply stubborn.

"As for it, just for a child? Are you still afraid that you will be short of children in the future? Shout out, there are plenty of women out there vying to give birth to you!"

"It's two different things at all!"

"Two different things?" Lao Mai sneered, "So you admit it? You just use the child as an excuse for doing this. To put it bluntly, you just can't let go of Tang Jingcheng. Lao Jiu, you are stuck, you are attracted to her , you fell in love with Tang Ji's daughter, but don't forget, you killed her favorite man!"

This is an endless loop, like a curse, it breaks and the brain hurts.

The room was dead silent.

Guan slightly rubbed his fingers, then suddenly raised his head and chuckled: "Yes, so what?"

"So what? What do you say, what do you say will happen?"

"It's nothing more than I planted a mine for myself!"

"Then what if this Lei Youtian explodes?"

"Exploded?" Guan slightly smiled, leaning lazily on the sofa, "Then I'll hold her and die together."

"madman!"

"Thank you." Guan Lue stubbed out the cigarette, patted the sofa next to him, "Come here, don't be so bitter and bitter, I didn't ask you to come here to quarrel with you!"

Old Mai glanced at him: "I'm too lazy to quarrel with someone who has no reason!"

"Okay, then let's talk about business, I want you to accompany Lou Qingxiao to San Diego to stay for a while!"

"Why?" Lao Mai also exploded, "This is a love debt you owe, why should I help you clean it up."

Guan slightly pressed his forehead: "She has depression, and I'm afraid something will happen to her."

"So you still care about her?"

Guan slightly remained silent, he is not good at expressing feelings, but it does not mean that he has no affection for Lou Qingxiao at all.

On the contrary, Lou Qingxiao is one of the most important people in his life, otherwise he would not have proposed to her three years ago.

"Old Mai, I have always been very grateful to two people. One is the old man who led me into Jiurong Terrace, and the other is Lou Qingxiao."

Why are you grateful?

Because of her gentle laughter and steadfast following when she was a child.

In fact, children's worlds are also different. Although they lived in the same alley, Guan Lue was a different kind of child.

No father and no mother, dressed in sloppy clothes all day long, with poor grades, even his words and deeds are brutal and fierce, he is a typical villain in the eyes of adults, and his children are not allowed to play with Guan Lue when they go home.

Only Lou Qingxiao is an exception. When she was young, she always followed Guan Lue and called him "brother". When she was older, she would pester him to go to and from school with him. When she was older, she would have the love and joy of puberty. .

At that time, even Guan Lue couldn't understand why a girl with such good conditions as Lou Qingxiao would chase after him. At that time, he was a poor boy with nothing, and he was forming gangs everywhere and causing trouble, but later he I understand a little bit.

Lou Qingxiao has a heroic dream, and her determination to become a policewoman is also based on this heroic dream, and this kind of girl will not easily like ordinary boys, and the person she admires must have the courage to "respond to everything".

She felt that Guan Lue had it, and Guan Lue did. From the king of children in the alley to the current seat of Jiurong Terrace, there was more than one response.

"Old Mai, I used to think that one day I would marry a wife and have children, this person must be Lou Qingxiao."

He may not love her so deeply, but she was once the only woman in Guan Lue's mind who was willing to marry back and give her a title.

Lao Mai understands his mentality.

"Old Jiu, maybe Lou Qingxiao never expected you to be so cruel to her!"

"Maybe." Guan Lue's gaze has faded.

Maybe he was a bit cruel in handling it like this, but there is always a trade-off. If he wants to keep Tang Jingcheng, he must give up Lou Qingxiao. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. It is better to cut it clean once, not to mention Lou Qingxiao actually used Tang Ji came to threaten him, which had already touched his bottom line.

Old Mai sighed: "I admit that your way of dealing with things has always been straightforward, and I admire you for this, but others will feel chills when they see it, especially when you deal with people around you, you will absolutely cut down with a knife without mercy."

Lou Qingxiao is an excellent example. She has been with him for so many years, and she almost became his wife before, but when she wants to part with her, he can not even blink her eyes.

Lao Mai couldn't help but think of what Guan Zhaorong said to him before his death.

"Bo Ming, people here think that Xiao Jiu is young, has an unstable temper, and is not cruel enough to people and things. He will definitely not be able to sit firmly in the chair of the chair in the future, but those people don't see clearly at all, Xiao Jiu. The child's heart is too deep, wolf cub, do you know? You don't usually see aggressiveness, but one day someone really roughs up his fur, just look at him, he is more ruthless than anyone else."

Lao Mai raised his eyes to look at the man on the sofa, his eyes were cold, he was no longer a prodigal son, and now Guan Lue has been sitting in the main seat for two years.

"Old Jiu, do you know what I'm so curious about right now?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't be curious."

"Cough... Let's use an analogy, if one day Tang Jingcheng roughs you up, will you be as cruel to her as Lou Qingxiao?"

Guan slightly squinted: "This analogy is not valid."

"I mean if, what if?"

If that's the case... He laughed, half serious and half joking: "Then she won't even want to live, she's out of sight!"

"..."

Tang Ji's case was temporarily suppressed, and Tang Ji was handed over to the detention center the next day.

It was impossible for Tang Jingcheng to be emotionally stable before the verdict was pronounced, but the lawyer did not bring any more unfavorable news, so she was somewhat relieved.

Su Hongzhi felt tormented and anxious in those few days.

First, Su Jue and Yao Haizheng jointly set up a plan, the project was acquired, and the company's interests were also damaged, and then a Qianmu Jewelry came out, making it clear that Su Jue wanted to fight against him.

Now being reported anonymously, he could only hand over the pair of jade unicorns that he finally obtained, as if he had cut two pieces of flesh from his heart.

When things went wrong, Su Hongzhi took Su Jue first, and directly dismissed Su Jue as the general manager as the chairman of the board of directors.

The personnel transfer order was sent overnight to the mailboxes of all middle and senior management in the company, without even talking to Su Jue in advance.

The next morning, the entire Su Fan was discussing the matter of the father and son, the enemy, and there was even a rumor that the general manager would be replaced by Su Zhan soon.

"President Su, the chairman's actions are too much. How much you have done for Su Fan in the past few years, the second young master is not even one ten thousandth as good as you." Zhong Ming felt sorry for Su Jue.

Su Jue stood at the window of the office, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.

He has been in the Su family for more than ten years, step by step from the illegitimate child that even the servants of the Su family despised to the position he is in today. He is very lonely and cold. To be clear, he has never had any sense of belonging or satisfaction.

Where is his ambition?
Su Fan's position as general manager?Even a little higher, Su Fan's shareholder, the chairman of the board of directors?Not at all.

There were so many things missing in his heart that he was unable to make up for the lack, and he didn't dare to think about it. Power became his clearest goal.

In the afternoon, news broke out again in the industry that Tian Xin, the legal representative of Qianmu, was taken away by the police for investigation because he secretly accepted bribes when he was the financial director of Su Fan many years ago.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see who stabbed Qianmu in the back.

Su Jue knew that the old man was suppressing him as an enemy, so he took the initiative to go to the office to talk to him, but the result was not good. The father and son had a big fight in the office, and the secretary could hear the scolding and slapping on the table inside. Su Jue came out from inside with a gloomy face.

Su Hongzhi's cursing voice followed behind him: "Don't think that you want to overthrow me because your wings are hard! Su Jue, let me tell you, you are just a low-grade thing I brought back from outside, just like your mother You were born humble...don't think that just because I gave you a surname, you really treat yourself as a Su family, it really pissed me off and I could crush you to death in minutes!"

Even the staff downstairs heard the ugly words.

Su Hongzhi's secretary stood at the door and watched Su Jue leave in fear. He seemed to have no change in his face, and walked straight into the elevator with his back.

The elevator door closed, and the door of Su Hongzhi's office was also slammed into it with a "bang-".

In the evening, Guan Lue accompanied Tang Jingcheng to eat out, and suddenly received a call from Lao Mai.

"Have you read the news? The incident about Yu Qilin has reached the media...!"

"How is it possible!" Guan Lue sank his hand holding the chopsticks, and surfed the Internet on his mobile phone. The huge headline - "[-] million national treasures were swapped, and the Yunling City Museum staged a realistic version of stealing the sky and changing the sun."
