37: The most candid lover, the most unpredictable partner

The old man suddenly entered the intensive care unit, and the whole Dongbai set off a silent smoke of gunpowder.

The board of directors has been covering this matter, fearing that the stock price will fall. If Duan Chao hadn't disclosed it to Xu Taiyang, he would have to wait for the old man's obituary to find out.

Duan Chao became very busy in the following days.

The first and third young masters on the head, the foreign devils who are staring at him from the outside—the internal and external forces are almost going to stir Dongbai into a whirlpool.

Not only did he want to save his position, but he also wanted to save his own life.

As the youngest member of the upper echelons of the group, he can be both an important booster and a thorn in the side.

Just depends on how he chooses.

The only thing that can make one feel at ease is that there is at least one "best" in front of his name.

Xu Taiyang was worried that this vortex would put him in an inextricable situation, and he was even more worried that he would not be able to help him.

When have you ever felt so small?

It is now.

And the person Duan Chao wants to kill.

"You are too soft-hearted" - Duan Chao blocked his questioning with this sentence.

From now on, Duan Chao will not let himself know anything about this person or this matter - as long as Duan Chao thinks, even if this person is completely dead, Xu Taiyang will not know who he is.

Duan Chao is the most candid lover on the bed, and the most unpredictable partner under the bed.

The situation above has changed, and the aftermath has already swayed at the bottom. Xu Taiyang and other managers also began to change their personnel, and they all planned for themselves a more promising boss who could eat more meat.

The only one who stayed still was Xu Taiyang.

He knew very well that the road in front of him had not changed from the beginning—it was destined to go in the opposite direction with Chang Dongyuan, and perhaps Duan Chao.

He, a stupid dog, may not live to the moment when he sees the end, but he is always running on the way to the end.

There is finally news from Lao Liu.

At the time of the meeting, Lao Liu was sitting in his broken Jetta, smoking a cigarette all over the place.

"It's Laoshan." Lao Liu said, sighing again: "There are not many brothers who can help, otherwise it will be faster."

Xu Taiyang shook his head, "Thanks to Brother Liu."

Lao Liu spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth and pointed to the opposite unit: "I didn't talk to anyone else, and I basically didn't go out. When I went out, it was the restaurant and canteen downstairs."

"Do you know how many floors and doors?"

"The middle door on the second floor can't be opened, wait."

"Okay." Xu Taiyang gritted his teeth, "After waiting for so many years, it's not bad for a while."

This waited until the middle of the night, three in the morning.

Xu Taiyang and Lao Liu took turns to rest, and when Lao Shan came out, it happened that Xu Taiyang was on duty at night.

If it wasn't for the lights at the door of the unit, Xu Taiyang might not have been able to see him.

"Out!"

I don't know if Lao Liu was awake or not, Xu Taiyang opened the door and rushed out after saying that.

Lao Shan is very vigilant and chooses the shaded places to go. Wearing a hat and a large jacket, like an ordinary old man who can be seen everywhere.

After so many years, that figure is still very familiar, thin, hunchbacked, and wobbly when walking.

As soon as Xu Taiyang stopped in front of him, he turned around without looking at who it was.

A sharp blade of cold light pressed against his neck.

Lao Liu said lightly, "Long time no see, Lao Shan."

Xu Taiyang twisted his arm from behind to cover his mouth, and Lao Shan was dragged back to his rental house without a sound.

The room was small, dark, and cluttered. At first glance, it was a temporary shelter, and there was no plan to live there for a long time.

Turning on the light, Lao Shan saw Xu Taiyang, and without waiting to ask anything, he knelt on the ground first.

"Taiyang! Taiyang! I don't know anything! I really don't know!"

He is really a lot older. He is obviously about the same age as Lao Liu, but in just a few years he looks a dozen years older and becomes a veritable "Old Mountain".

Unusually, Xu Taiyang didn't move one of his fingers, just stared at him silently.

Old Liu didn't speak, and turned the knife repeatedly.

This strange silence broke Lao Shan's already fragile and tense nerves.

He began to cry, sobbing to the point of convulsions.

"I didn't expect, really didn't expect...they would kill people...! I want to know that even if I die, I won't do it... Absolutely not... My child is sick... I'm short of money..."

"If it weren't for saving my life, I would never do this... Absolutely not... Brother Wen is kind to me... I must not hurt him... I didn't expect..."

Brother Wen is kind to me - as soon as these words came out, Xu Taiyang couldn't hold back any longer and kicked him to the ground.

The fist fell on Lao Shan like a storm.

Lao Liu watched for a while, then pulled Xu Taiyang back: "Wait later, you're going to die."

Xu Taiyang barely missed the last punch and stopped.

"Brother Liu, you ask first, I'm afraid I can't help it."

Lao Shan was lying on the ground coughing up blood, two teeth were broken. Lao Liu squatted in front of him, grabbing his hair and forcing him to raise his head.

"Who are they?"

"Big boss I... I can't see it... I can't live now if I see it... The rest... I'll let Brother Wen carry it...!"

"At home, who is your upline?"

The inner ghost is not only Lao Shan, the line is so long, Lao Shan is cowardly and timid, and he can't make such a big move.

"I-I don't know!"

Lao Liu didn't talk nonsense with him, covered his mouth and cut his leg with a knife.

Lao Shan was lying on the ground twitching frantically, his nose and tears hurting together. Old Liu Wei stood still, waited for him to stop for a while, and continued to ask.

"Who is your upline?"

As long as Lao Shan shook his head, he would cut a knife without giving him a chance to explain. After the fifth cut, Lao Shan finally couldn't hold back his nod.

"Xu, Xu Taiyang!"

Lao Shan looked at Xu Taiyang. He didn't say that he was online, but that the next thing had a lot to do with Xu Taiyang.

"It's because of you! It's not because of you, Brother Wen, they won't start so fast!"

The unpleasant quarrel before Brother Wen's death has always been a knot in Xu Taiyang's heart, and Lao Shan said this only because he knew it.

Lao Liu also knew that. He frowned, wanting to plug him directly. Lao Shan seized this only opportunity to speak and shouted out regardless:

"—Brother Wen wants you to be in charge!"

Xu Taiyang was taken aback.

Lao Liu didn't want him to open his mouth, and just as he was about to go down, Xu Taiyang stopped him.

"sun!"

"Brother Liu, I want to hear it."

"You can believe what someone like him says!"

Xu Taiyang's face was gloomy, "Believe it or not, just listen and talk."

Lao Shan received a general amnesty, endured the severe pain in his leg, and continued to say with a twisted face:

"Brother Wen intends to... let you take over! If you are in the position... this way of making money will be broken even more completely...! You and Brother Wen... must destroy one!"

Xu Taiyang clenched his fists, his fingernails were about to bleed from his palms.

"...You two broke up, it was a great opportunity! But I didn't expect...Brother Wen still favors you...Leave a way for you...He, they...can't wait any longer!"

"It's better to kill it as soon as possible than...let the two of you occupy the road...as soon as possible!"

Xu Taiyang punched down, but it didn't land on Lao Shan's face, but on the ground.

"sun!"

Old Liu grabbed his wrist, and the phalanx was bleeding.

Although it was brief, both Xu Taiyang and Lao Liu understood what Lao Shan meant. Lao Shan covered the wound on his leg and climbed up to Lao Liu.

"Brother Liu! Brother Liu! Give me a chance...! If I can find a connector, I'll lead him out!"

Lao Liu stepped on his wound.

"Why did you come back this time?"

After running for so long, there must be something to come back suddenly.

"I... I really can't bear it... I've been tortured by this for the past few years... I want to come back and put a grave for Brother Wen..."

"Don't leave after going to the grave?"

"I want to find evidence! Before I ran... I heard that Brother Wen left something... I want to find out and avenge Brother Wen!"

"What?" Xu Taiyang asked.

"I don't know...! It's said to be related to the above... At home, I haven't talked to Bao Gaitou, so I keep one hand..."

Lao Liu and Xu Taiyang fell into thinking together.

Between believing and not believing, he still chose not to believe.

But even if you don't believe it, Lao Shan still has the value of living. When he is alive, there are clues, and when he is dead, there is nothing.

"Brother Liu, is it true about taking over?"

After finding someone to keep an eye on Laoshan, Lao Liu asked Xu Taiyang to go back first and stabilize the person in his hand first. In case there is any change, he can have some leeway to react.

There is also Chang Dongyuan, if this matter really has to be settled with the other end of the line, I am afraid that he will have to give him a hand.

Lao Liu was silent for a while, "Yes."

"Brother Wen told you?"

"I didn't say it directly. At the time, I thought you were young and impulsive, and many people in the family disagreed. He just said to have a look, but everyone knows...that's what he meant."

Xu Taiyang did not speak.

"You are exactly the same as when he was young."

Lao Liu is gone.

Xu Taiyang was so uncomfortable in his heart that he could barely breathe.

He couldn't help but dial Duan Chao's phone.

I haven't had a chance to meet since the last time, and even the occasional call has been interrupted several times. Xu Taiyang never called again, relying solely on information contact.

But now he really couldn't control his desire to hear Duan Chao's voice and to see his face.

"What's wrong?" Duan Chao picked it up quickly, it was almost dawn, and he still hadn't slept.

"..." Xu Taiyang suddenly didn't know what to say, so many words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit out a word.

Say what?

Seriously, I killed brother Wen;

Say why I didn't die in his place;

Say I'm too useless, I'm too impulsive

Say I'm so sad, I really want to see you.

"It's alright, let's see what you're doing."

"Don't talk nonsense," Duan Chao believed that he was a ghost when he called at this time, "What happened?"

Xu Taiyang can find that his emotions are wrong, how can he not hear Xu Taiyang's abnormality?

Taking a deep breath, Xu Taiyang felt that he shouldn't be coquettish with him all the time: "It's really okay, you go to bed earlier, I'll hang up first."

I added a message saying that think of Brother Wen, nothing else.

Duan Chao did not call.

Xu Taiyang sat in the car and watched the sky light up a little.

The previous things are like acting in a movie, over and over in my mind.Driving mechanically, he didn't even know how he got home.

At the elevator entrance, found that Rourou was leaning against the wall to brush her phone.Seeing him coming, he smiled shyly again.

"Manager Xu, your home network is quite fast~"

Xu Taiyang was startled, rushed out of the elevator and ran.

Duan Chao was at his door, playing games seriously.

Xu Taiyang walked over and saw Duan Chao raise his face, "You have to give me a set of keys."

He was speechless.

Duan Chao put away his phone, carefully held his cheek, and looked at the pair of red eyes.

"Who bullied my little wolf dog?"
