    73. The seemingly ordinary middle-aged man.

    Originally, after the two separated, Qu Lang had to rely on recalling the past time and time again, trying to imagine the reconciliation scene of the two, in order to recover a little bit of energy.

    Qu Lang always thought that as long as he did enough, he could always save some. However, in fact, the closer he got, the more certain of one thing he became. No matter how hard he tried and how he imagined, a better future was just a futile delusion, and it only made him more certain of one thing—

    His Mingbei doesn't love him anymore.

    That may not be accurate enough.

    The reality is that Shen Mingbei will take back all his strong feelings towards him.

    Shen Mingbei neither loves himself nor hates himself.

    Two people can communicate with each other calmly, and there are proper reasons to live together; when Ran He celebrates his birthday, if he wants to play with him, Mingbei can happily agree; when encountering dangerous things, as long as he is in the right place. When the time comes, Ming Beihui is willing to confide in himself.

    This seemingly close relationship can actually be replaced by another person. If Gu Yibai is the one who proposes to protect Mingbei, Mingbei may agree; if it is Xiao Zhang who proposes to go to the amusement park together, Mingbei will not refuse...

    Even if it is such a danger today, if another person is with Mingbei, now Mingbei will still want to talk.

    Qu Lang couldn't accept this, and he wanted to confirm his suspicions, and even more hoped to exchange something special for himself.

    "I want to live with you forever."

    After listening to Qu Lang's words, Shen Mingbei didn't realize his thoughts were going back and forth, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked a little strangely: "If the next door is renovated, you can just go back to Qingtan Bay and live."

    Shen Mingbei thought that Qu Lang was talking about his plan to decorate the next door.

    If the next door is decorated, of course, the next door will not be able to live.

    "By the way, if you are decorating, you don't need to consider me here. I will be in the crew next weekend to shoot, and I will be away from home for about three months." Shen Mingbei promised the company that the script to be shot has been selected, and the crew has determined the leading role. Of course it will start up soon.

    After Shen Mingbei finished speaking, he found that Qu Lang's expression was not quite right, and his brows were so tangled that they could be twisted.

    "What’s wrong with you?"

    "I, I'll join the group with you." Qu Lang felt that he could be an assistant. If Xiao Zhang quits, he just happens to be fine.

    Shen Mingbei: ...

    It wasn't Shen Mingbei, but Xiao Chen's phone call that stopped Qu Lang's whims. Xiao Chen said, "I found Lu Ke."

    ...

    This place in the capital is not too big, but it is not too small. It's really hard to find someone in the capital if you don't have the skills, especially if the person is still very cautious.

    Lu Ke is such a cautious person.

    They had been searching for a long time without results. Whether it was Qu Lang or Shen Mingbei, they almost all thought that Lu Ke had fled to some ravine, or had smuggled out of the country long ago and was happy.

    But no one thought that Lu Ke was still in the country, not only in the country, but also in the capital.

    Although Lu Ke's location is very remote, it is indeed in the capital. Even driving from Dongjiao Park, it took less than an hour's drive to reach the destination.

    This is a vulcanization factory that has been abandoned for many years. The equipment and personnel have been removed for many years, but the smell of sulfur contained in the air can still be smelled after approaching it.

    Shen Mingbei followed Qu Lang and walked past the long pile of weeds. When he saw the movement in the factory building, someone immediately greeted him.

    Shen Mingbei recognized the clothes on this man, and it was similar to the people who followed Qu Lang at the dock that night. He was a little curious, where did Qu Lang find such a group of people to work for him?

    "Mr. Qu, according to your instructions, the people were tied up inside and didn't move. Do you want to call the police now?"

    The muscular man with sunglasses spoke in a low voice, even if the volume was lowered, the man's voice still seemed to burst in his heart, knocking muffled thunder.

    This kind of voice is Shen Mingbei's dish.

    At the beginning, Shen Mingbei was attracted by Qu Lang's bass, and now he heard the sound of similar conditions, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

    Probably because Shen Mingbei's actions were too obvious, Qu Lang coughed lightly when he saw it, and he held Shen Mingbei as if he had sworn an oath of sovereignty. The opponent said: "Wait until I meet someone."

    The man in black and sunglasses gave a "hmm".

    Shen Mingbei still didn't look away.

    Qu Lang didn't know what was so good about such a person, but he didn't dare to say anything in the end, feeling a little uncomfortable, he led Shen Mingbei to go inside: "Let's go in."

    "Okay." Shen Mingbei did not refuse Qu Lang to pull himself.

    Appreciating beautiful things is a human instinct, but it is limited to appreciation. Now there are other things to deal with, Shen Mingbei can afford it and let it go.

    After entering the warehouse, Shen Mingbei realized that this place was very different from his imagination.

    The factory building is not abandoned in the general sense. The mottled walls and rusted window frames, as well as the stench of the food, are all telling the dilapidation here.

    It's not a comfortable place. Shen Mingbei was a little curious why Lu Ke chose such a place to hide.

    It's obvious that Lu Ke is from a big family, so why is he so indifferent. Thinking about Lu Chen and his mother, those two couldn't even stand in the trunk of the truck for a while.

    Shen Mingbei recognized Lu Ke. Lu Ke, who was tied up with five flowers, was wearing very ordinary clothes. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, the kind that no one would notice when placed in a crowd.

    Because the sky was already dark, Qu Lang's subordinates found a headlight from nowhere, and a bunch of white searchlights were drawn to Lu Ke's eyes. This kind of strong light on the eyes is logically uncomfortable, but Lu Ke is like a normal person.

    He was obviously a prisoner, but he could read some indifference and calmness in his eyes.

    If he hadn't met in such a place, Shen Mingbei knew that he would never look at him with scrutiny like he does now.

    Shen Mingbei didn't like this kind of person very much.

    Qu Lang didn't let go of Shen Mingbei's hand, he sensed the change in Shen Mingbei's mood, he took the initiative to stand forward, blocked Shen Mingbei behind him, and looked at Lu Ke.

    "I didn't expect to see each other again like this."

    Qu Lang's subordinates were very discerning and took off the rag from Lu Ke's mouth.

    Qu Lang didn't know Lu Ke very well. In the past, even because of Lu Chen, he thought Lu Ke was very annoying.

    "I didn't expect it to fall into your hands." Lu Ke was tied and fell to the ground. He didn't mean to get up, so he just fell on his side, seeing that the person who caught him was Qu Lang, but felt relieved.

    Qu Lang didn't move, looked down at Lu Ke condescendingly, and said lightly, "It's not me, it will be someone else. There are a lot of people who want to find you. In this case, they can spare no effort to plan an accident, which almost killed me. , is also very powerful.”

    His tone was flat as if he were talking about the weather.

    Lu Ke didn't answer.

    The silence of the other party did not embarrass Qu Lang. He was half joking and half serious: "Let me guess how you did it? The Cassio that Lin wanted to meet in Italy was actually arranged by you. ,right."

    It was probably because the light was too strong that all Lu Ke's expressions could be seen at a glance. As soon as the voice fell, Shen Mingbei could clearly see a trace of panic on Lu Ke's face.

    But what happened to the name "Casio"?

    Does Lin want that lover abroad?

    Shen Mingbei was full of doubts, but the conversation between Qu Lang and Lu Ke was very stingy. After he finished speaking, he patiently waited for Lu Ke's answer.

    It's a pity that Lu Ke's mouth is very strict, and he didn't say anything.

    "It doesn't matter if you don't want to. I found you today, and I will be able to find Lin Xiang in a few days. You should all pay the price." Qu Lang, like a hunter, finished speaking leisurely, ready to leave.

    Lu Ke was silent for a long time, just when Shen Mingbei felt a little numb in his feet, Lu Ke spoke.

    "If I tell you a secret, will you let me go?"

    Qu Lang paused slightly as he left, and his subordinates found two more chairs out of nowhere. Qu Lang pulled Shen Mingbei to sit down and looked at Lu Ke, who was lying on the ground.

    Although he sat down to listen, his attitude was still indifferent: "It depends on your secret, whether it's worth the price."

    Lu Ke smiled, he struggled to remember, but was kicked back by Qu Lang's men.

    Qu Lang said, "Let's talk about it like that."

    There was a trace of complexity in Lu Ke's eyes, and he said, "This matter has something to do with the Shen family. I'll start from the beginning."

    Shen Mingbei, who has been working as a background board, heard this and raised his spirits. Didn't he come here just to confirm what he thought?

    "In those days, Lu Ming relied on a big order to knock down the Lin family as a competitor. It was a time when the spring breeze was proud, but the Lin family property was taken over by the Shen family. On the other hand, Lu's real estate lost a lot of money because of the wrong investment in a project, and was almost facing bankruptcy. I was very busy with this. Suddenly one day, Lu Ming asked me to go to his office and asked me to look for it. A man named Ran Yisheng..."

    In Lu Ke's mouth, Lu Ming, the former head of Lu's real estate, planned a plan to annex Shen's because of the company's financial crisis.

    The person who executed it was Lu Ke, and Lu Ke's helper was Cassio's father, Cassio.

    Cassio's family was originally a foreign capital engaged in port trade. Because of the contact with Lu's real estate, the two sides often did some deeds that could not be put on the table.

    Lu Ke bought Ran Yisheng and Lin Xiang, and the death of Shen Mingbei's parents was only the first step for Lu Ming to annex the Shen family, and later he found Shen Chang.

    All these things are intertwined, and it is Lu Ming's idea.

    But Lu Ke was also deceived by Ran Yisheng. A few days ago, Lu Ke killed Ran Yisheng because Ran Yisheng insisted that he take out the money.

    Qu Lang sensed that Shen Mingbei was a little excited, he quickly pulled him back, and snorted coldly, "You don't think that you are frankly confessing, so I will let you go."

    Lu Ke shook his head: "I know. I didn't expect this incident to impress you, but wanted to say that Lu Ming had expected that one day he would be exposed. He hid a lot of money overseas. And I not only know about Lu Ming's That money, I also know where Lu Chen hides the money. I can only say that they are father and son, they are indeed father and son... If you can let me go, I will take these two money, as well as the Cassio family. The power bases in the country are all explained!"

    "You also want to completely overthrow the strength of the Cassio family. It's not my idea to take action against Shen Mingbei, but Lin Xiang's idea. You only arrest me, don't solve Lin Xiang, the matter is not It will be over."

    "You are looking for me, in fact, you want to know what happened back then, right! I can say whatever you want to know, no one in this world knows better than me!"

    "Qu Lang, you won't use lynching, and you will definitely hand me over to the police in the end. When I face the police, if I can explain the foreign forces and overseas money, the officials will definitely consider sentencing me, and the Lu family's father and son will hide it. The amount of money, maybe I can count as guilty and meritorious..."

    When Lu Ke said this, it seemed that his position became clearer and he regained his composure.

    Qu Lang knew that Lu Ke was telling the truth.

    When sentencing, even if there is no money factor, because it can solve the influence of the Cassio family and infiltration in the country, the sentence against Lu Ke will be lightly considered.

    But just letting go of those who hurt Shen Mingbei like this, Qu Lang couldn't do it, Qu Lang's only concern was if Lin wanted to continue targeting Mingbei, how would he protect Mingbei.

    Qu Lang chuckled: "Do you think I look like someone who lacks money?"

    When Lu Ke heard this answer, he originally wanted to say who would think too much money, but thinking about Qu's size, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him. Lu Ke felt that these might not impress Qu Lang.

    Lu Ke set his eyes on the hand that Qu Lang and Shen Mingbei had been holding, and looked back and forth, hesitating for a moment, he changed his rhetoric, and when he spoke, he was very determined: "No matter how you look at this matter, for youIt's the best choice. If you can't let Lin Xiang go, there is actually a small matter that may help you learn more about Lin Xiang."

    Lu Ke probably misunderstood something. He remembered the relationship between Qu Lang and Lin Xiang, and got inspiration from Shen Mingbei.

    In Qu Lang's terrifying eyes, one thing was pierced.

    "When Lin wanted to save you, it was just a play."

    When Qu Lang and Lu Chen were kidnapped together, Lin Xiang saved them and even injured his hand, which made Lin Xiang no longer be a good pianist.

    Because of this experience, Qu Lang always regarded Lu Chen as his most important friend and Lin Xiang as his savior.

    Now Lu Ke said, is this a play?
