the knife of love

Chapter 72 Tell the truth, his choice at that time
Tang Jingcheng ran farther and farther with the firework stick, and ran to the Ginkgo Road. Axi was still chasing after him, and the laughter of the children and the cries of the servants became smaller and smaller.

Guan Lue saw Tang Jingcheng's back wrapped in a green shawl mixed with fallen ginkgo leaves in the firelight and smoke. He took the last puff of his cigarette, stamped it out, and turned around to see Ye Tan not far away.

Ye Tan shrank his neck and put the phone into his coat pocket.

"Brother Nine..."

Guan slightly frowned: "Why did you come suddenly?"

"I have something to report to you."

"You can talk on the phone!"

Ye Tan paused, looked over Guan Lue's shoulder, looked at Tang Jingcheng's figure on the ginkgo road in the distance, and laughed.

"I can't speak clearly on the phone."

Guan Lue didn't ask any more questions, he was in a good mood today, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was still there.

"Tell me, what's the matter."

Ye Qin approached a little closer, and lowered his voice subconsciously: "There is news about Chi Feng."

"Well, go on."

"He really went to seek refuge with Su Hongzhi, and is currently being arranged by Su Zhan in a hotel called Chang Teng in the urban area."

The smile on the corner of Guan Lue's mouth disappeared instantly, and he raised his eyes to look at the sky not far away, the dusk was about to pass, and the sky had already turned blue.

Ye Tan couldn't wait for the man's next instruction. He always had a faint look in his eyes. Even though he had been with him for so many years, he still couldn't see through the man's thoughts.

For a while.

"Brother Nine..."

"it's getting dark."

"..." Ye Tan didn't understand the meaning, but followed him to look at the sky. The sky was dark, and night had indeed fallen.

"Go and arrange for Rong Tie, Fan Qingyan will be the director of the Yunnan film."

Ye Tan took the order: "Yes! Then don't we care about Chi Feng's side?"

"What do you think?" Guan slightly asked.

Ye Qin swore: "Chi Feng has always been brave and foolhardy. His move is a dead move. Now that he is in the hands of that old man Su Hongzhi, I don't think he has much life to live."

The reason is this, Chi Feng has lost its use value, Su Hongzhi has no reason to keep him, keeping him is a night of dreams, after all, Chi Feng has done a lot of shady hookups for Su Hongzhi.

It's just that Guan slightly hooked his lips and smiled: "Then you are wrong. Chi Feng has been on this road for 30 years anyway, and when he was desperate, he still had the guts to go to Su Hongzhi. Do you really think he is counting on Su Hongzhi?" Can Hong Zhi sell him a bit of conscience?"

"Is not it?"

"of course not!"

Guan Lue started working on the road at the age of nine. The first skill he learned was "self-protection". When he entered Jiurongtai at the age of 11, the second skill he learned was how to protect himself in case of a rainy day.

"We don't know how many trips Chi Feng has secured for Su Hongzhi at the Yunnan border over the years, but Chi Feng himself must remember clearly, that's why he has the guts to go to Su Hongzhi at this time s reason."

After saying this, Ye Tan understood a little bit.

"Brother Jiu, do you mean that Chi Feng has a debt in his hand?"

"Of course, if Chi Feng doesn't even have this kind of brain, then he won't be able to sit firmly in charge of Yunnan films these years, so Su Hongzhi doesn't dare to do anything to him for the time being, at least smuggling in Chi Feng's hands before he destroys it. For now, he won't touch Chi Feng."

Ye Tan digested for a while: "Ninth brother, what should we do next?"

"Think of a way to grab Su Hongzhi's smuggling record before him!"

"But I'm afraid this matter will be a bit difficult, unless we tear ourselves apart with Su Zhan's people!"

"No, it's not good for us to break up with the Su family so quickly." Guan Lue sneered, "You can arrange for Fan Qingyan to do this. If he wants to be firmly in charge of Yunnan, this is a chance for him to make contributions."

Ye Tan suddenly realized: "Ninth brother, that's why you promoted him to be the principal at this time?"

Guan slightly no longer explain.

In the distance, Tang Jingcheng and Axi had already slowly walked back from the ginkgo road, the fallen leaves were flying, and her figure became clearer and clearer.

"Go, if it's not possible, you will fly to Kunming yourself, and the cause of Fan Lili's death must be investigated further." After Guan Lue finished speaking, he stood up straight from the fountain, looking at Ginkgo Road, the indifference in his eyes just now gradually became tainted. tenderness.

Ye Tan saw all these in his eyes, and squeezed his fingers tightly in his palm.

"Aren't you leaving?" Guan Lue suddenly turned around and urged again, Ye Tan bowed his head and backed away, walked slowly to his car, and when he opened the door, he heard Tang Jingcheng's brisk shout.

"Guan Lue, a lot of ginkgo fruits fell on the ground, Axi and I picked up a lot together."

Ye Tan couldn't help but look back again, Tang Jingcheng used his shawl to carry a lot of fruit, and Axi was supported by a servant, and he also echoed obediently beside him.

Guan slightly smiled, didn't look at the fruit, just took off his coat and wrapped it around Tang Jingcheng.

"What kind of fruit are you picking? You just got rid of your fever, what are you doing taking off your shawl?"

"..."

Ye Tan snorted, she had never seen through this man.

The car gradually drove away, and Guan Lue and Tang Jingcheng could be seen from the rearview mirror still staying outside the old house. The small firework sticks had already been set off, and the servant came out with a big firework. Guan Lue lit another cigarette Burn the fuse.

With a sound of "pound -", fireworks flew into the sky, gorgeous fireworks bloomed, one, two, more and more, the sky above the whole old house was illuminated.

The blue-black sky was full of flames.

Ye Tan stepped on the gas pedal vigorously, and the car moved forward rapidly.

In a villa in the suburbs, Lou Qingxiao was sitting alone in a wheelchair in the dining room. In front of her was a table full of dishes, she hadn't touched a single bite. There was a mobile phone next to the rice bowl. The screen was already dark. On it was a photo sent to her by Ye Tan.

"Miss Tang, Miss Ye is here." Sister Xin called out from outside.

Lou Qingxiao's thoughts were interrupted suddenly, and she suddenly came back to her senses, Ye Tan had already walked into the restaurant by herself.

"Sister Qingxiao... let's eat."

Lou Qingxiao immediately put on a smile: "Yes, eat." After finishing speaking blankly, she asked again, "Have you eaten? How about we go together?"

"I've eaten. I just came from the old house."

Lou Qingxiao couldn't hold back her smile any longer, and her face turned dark.

"Did you just take the photo?"

"You got it?"

"received."

Ye Tan grinned at the corner of his mouth, quickly suppressed the pride in his heart, and pretended to be relieved: "Sister Qingxiao, don't be sad, I shouldn't have sent you this photo, but I really can't see Tang Jingcheng's stinky face , she clearly knows that Brother Jiu already has you, and that you will get married sooner or later, but she still clings to Brother Jiu!"

Ye Tan was halfway through speaking, and stopped to pay attention to Lou Qingxiao's expression.

Lou Qingxiao was leaning on the wheelchair, her face was very cold, this woman is not easy to deal with, Ye Qin knew this well.

"Actually, Brother Nine and her are just playing around with each other, but this woman just relied on her shoulder injury to win Brother Nine's sympathy. I heard that she deliberately took Axi out on New Year's Eve. The entire Jiurong Terrace is restless, and some people have been severely punished!"

"What else?" Lou Qingxiao's indifferent expression finally showed some reaction.

"Yeah, it's a big deal, almost the whole Jiurongtai knows about it, this woman is very courageous, and sister Qingxiao, do you know that Tang Jingcheng is a shameless woman, she was the one who seduced Jiurong back then Damn, she even told me personally that she likes brother Jiu on the bed..."

Ye Tan stopped at the key point, pretending to bow his head in a muffled voice.

Lou Qingxiao's voice suddenly increased: "On the bed? What do you mean on the bed?"

"No...it's nothing...Miss Qingxiao, you can eat, I'll just come over..."

"Ye Tan, finish your sentence!"

"Oh, this matter... it's okay, blame me for being cheap, I..."

"It's over!"

"I..." Ye Tan was stubborn for a long time, "I'm embarrassed to say it!"

Lou Qingxiao pinched her knee with her fingers, her face was already very cold.

The last time she and Tang Jingcheng were kidnapped by Chi Feng at the same time, Guan Lue did say that he had slept with Tang Jingcheng, but Lou Qingxiao didn't feel relieved at the time, she thought it was unlikely, it wasn't that Lou Qingxiao was right Guan Lue is so confident, Guan Lue is a normal man after all, and she can't satisfy him these few years, she can accept him occasionally playing with a few women outside, but how can the other party be Tang Jingcheng?

It doesn't matter who Guan Lue sleeps with, but it can't be Tang Jingcheng!

Who is Tang Jingcheng?She is Tang Ji's daughter!

"They did have sex, didn't they?"

"..."

"Isn't it???" Lou Qingxiao's voice was a little out of control, Sister Xin heard it from outside and rushed in.

"Miss Lou, what's the matter?"

"It's none of your business, get out!" She yelled at Sister Xin, who glanced at Ye Tan and exited the restaurant embarrassingly.

Lou Qingxiao squeezed the phone in her hand: "Tell me, have the two of them really slept together?"

"I..." Ye Tan hesitated for a long time, and finally took a deep breath, "Actually, this is not a secret anymore. Tang Jingcheng was involved in a murder case some time ago, and Brother Nine happened to be with her that night , So when the case was tried in court, Brother Jiu went to court and acted as an alibi for her. This incident caused a lot of trouble in Yunling at the time, and it was exposed by several media, you can check it online."

Lou Qingxiao let go of the hands that squeezed her knees, and the blood on her Yin Han face was completely gone.

Ye Tan felt particularly at ease, whether it was Tang Jingcheng or the cripple in front of her, she was not qualified to have Guanlue in her heart.

"Sister Qingxiao, blame me for being talkative about this today, but don't be sad. You should be clear about Brother Jiu's behavior. He has only you in his heart from the beginning to the end. Even if he does anything with Tang Jingcheng, it's just out of the normal needs of men. After all, few normal men can stand Tang Jingcheng's shameless active seduction."

Lou Qingxiao laughed silently and said nothing, but she knew in her heart that Guan Lue was not an ordinary man, he had the endurance and self-control beyond ordinary men.

Three years ago, he was also full of gossip. He managed so many nightclubs and entertainment venues. There were too many women around him, and he was very attractive. After Xiao's accident, he cut off all the Yingying Yanyans. In the past three years, he has almost boiled radishes in clear water, without any fishy leaves.

If, as Ye Tan said, Guan Lue slept with Tang Jingcheng only because Tang Jingcheng would seduce her, but how could she be as good as those women in the night show?What's more, who is Guan Lue?He is the top spot in Jiurongtai, how could he be seduced by a woman so easily.

But he really fell asleep now, and he still broke the three-year "fast" when he knew Tang Jingcheng's identity. It wasn't because Tang Jingcheng was powerful, but because he was moved.

As soon as his heart moved, Lou Qingxiao became confused.

Seeing that she had been silent, Ye Tan thought she was dumbfounded, and added: "Sister Qingxiao, don't take it to heart, even if brother Jiu really slept with that woman, he only has you in his heart, otherwise Chi Feng asked him to choose her." He won't choose Miss Qingxiao anymore."

Speaking of this matter, Lou Qingxiao's heart ached even more.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Tan with cold eyes, Ye Tan only felt a chill down his back.

"Miss Qingxiao, you..."

"Ye Tan, you also like Brother Nine, right?"

"..." The topic changed too quickly, and Ye Tan was a little overwhelmed, "No, Sister Qingxiao...don't talk nonsense, I only regard Brother Nine as my elder, and I am his subordinate."

Lou Qingxiao snorted lightly: "It's okay, there's nothing wrong with liking him, but your fault is that you don't know him well enough."

"What... do you mean?"

Lou Qingxiao snorted again, turned the wheelchair closer to her, and took a deep look at Ye Tan.

"You came to tell me about these things on purpose today, and even took photos and sent them to me. It's nothing more than your own resentment."

"..." Ye Tan's thoughts were exposed by her, and the corners of his eyes drooped, but he quickly raised his brows, "Yes, since Sister Qingxiao saw it, I won't hide it from you, it's just that Brother Jiu doesn't like me. I know that, but you are different. Ninth brother only has you in his heart, so I can't swallow this breath for you. Didn't that woman get shot in the shoulder? Ordinarily, it's her fate. If Chi Feng's shot was taken directly It killed her, she won't be jumping around like this now!"

In Ye Tan's mind, Tang Jingcheng was lucky with that gun, but Lou Qingxiao didn't think so.

"You are wrong. Fortunately, Chi Feng's shot missed. If he really killed Tang Jingcheng, brother Jiu would not be like this now?"

For a moment Ye Tan didn't understand again.

"Don't you still think brother Jiu will feel distressed?"

"It's more than distressing!"

"But Brother Nine chose her to die!"

"That's because Chi Feng is not smart enough!" Lou Qingxiao turned the wheelchair, turned her back and turned her face to the window, the scene when Chi Feng held up a gun and asked Guan Yue to make a choice is still vivid in his memory.

At that time, he and Tang Jingcheng were tied to the pillar at the same time, and Chi Feng asked him to choose.

Guan Lue almost didn't think too much, and chose calmly, so that Lou Qingxiao remembered every word he said at that time.

"...As we all know, Qingxiao has been with me for many years. If it hadn't been for her leg accident, we would have been married three years ago."

"As for her... I admit that this woman has slept with me, but having slept with her doesn't mean I have feelings for her. Men, when they are in a good mood, they will always come to your door."

This was what Guan Lue said at the time. Judging from the literal meaning, the status of these two women in his mind was too different.

It's almost like... Lou Qingxiao is his cinnabar mole, and Tang Jingcheng is just the mosquito blood that he occasionally sleeps on.

"Ye Tan, let me ask you, if you were Chi Feng, and Brother Jiu admitted that I was his fatal point in front of you, and Tang Jingcheng was just a woman he played with casually, whose life would you choose?"

Ye Tan only felt a flash in his head, as if he had been enlightened.

It turns out that Guan Lue's love for that woman has been so deep since the very beginning.

He hid the blade in his sleeve to keep her safe, but he wanted everyone to think that she was just an occasional pastime for him.

Love is speechless.

At that moment, he actually chose Tang Jingcheng, but Chi Feng was too stupid, or Chi Feng was too smart, seeing through Guan Lue's mind, the bullet still penetrated into her shoulder.

Lou Qingxiao will always remember Guan Lue's expression at the moment when he hugged Tang Jingcheng who was covered in blood, as if the world was stupefied, he held the whole world in his arms.
