The best time is because of you

Chapter 9 Difficult Choices
Standing in front of the closed emergency room door, Shuya hesitated whether to call Cai Wentao.She didn't see Cai Jiu. When she rushed to the hospital, Cai Jiu's special intensive care unit was empty. From the medical staff, she learned that Cai Jiu had been sent to the emergency room early, and the results of the rescue would have to wait at least tonight. to find out.

The phone was hot in the palm of her hand, and in the end, Shuya sent a text message to Cai Wentao, briefly relaying the information she got to him.After the text message was sent, she immediately deleted the message and put the phone back into her handbag, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.Although the results won't come out until evening, it's a matter of life and death after all. Relatives usually stay in the hospital to deal with possible emergencies. Even if Cai Junfeng is busy with affairs and can't spare time to stay here, he should arrange his subordinates to accompany him. Cai Jiu's wife stayed in the hospital.However, she had been sitting outside the emergency room for more than an hour, and she didn't see anyone from the Cai family appearing. This seemed very unreasonable, Shuya thought deeply, and slowly walked out of the hospital gate.

"Aya." A familiar voice came, and Shuya looked up. There was a recreational vehicle parked outside the hospital gate. The door was open. Cai Junfeng was sitting in the vehicle and looked at her with a smile on his face. His feet faltered a little, and then she walked quickly. past.

The temperature of the air conditioner in the car was suitable, Cai Junfeng handed Shuya a cup of green tea: "There is no milk tea you like in the car, how about some green tea?" He loves drinking tea, and there is a full set of tea sets in the car.

Shuya took the teacup, took a sip, her lips and teeth were fragrant, and her restless mood gradually calmed down in the elegant tea fragrance: "Second Brother, are you here waiting for news from Uncle Jiu?"

"En." Cai Junfeng was making the second cup of tea, moving his slender hands between the blue and white porcelain tea sets, calmly, gracefully and calmly.

"Where is Auntie, she," Shuya said carefully, "is she okay?"

"Mrs. Cai is too nervous and lost control of her emotions. I have already sent her home to rest," Cai Junfeng said frankly, "Do you want to see her?

Shu Ya nodded: "Alright, I'll go see Aunt Jiu first, and then go back to the hospital and wait for news."

Cai Junfeng ordered the driver to drive back to the Cai family's main house. The car was driving smoothly. In the past, when the two were together, Shuya mostly talked, and Cai Junfeng was responsible for listening to her. But at this moment, she didn't know how to start the conversation. People were relatively silent, and the atmosphere was a little dull along the way.

While bored, Shuya dipped her index finger in the tea and drew circles on the tea table. After a while, she quietly raised her eyes to take a look at Cai Junfeng. The mist rose and brushed his black temples. His handsome appearance was surrounded by mist. Hair looks more beautiful.When Shuya was eleven or twelve years old, every time she saw Cai Junfeng, she couldn't help sighing: Second brother, second brother, you really look like Rukawa Kaede.But Cai Junfeng looked blank: Rukawa Feng, who is it, it can't be some kid from your school, right?Shu Ya gritted her teeth with hatred, you know, the beautiful boy Rukawa Kaede in the comic "Slam Dunk" was once one of her dream lovers when she was a girl.Recalling the past, a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously.
"What are you thinking?" Cai Junfeng smiled in his eyes, the smile in his eyes was warm, like a spring breeze.

Shuya had some expectations in her heart, what she saw and heard in the past few days, there may be some misunderstandings or difficulties that she didn't understand: "Second brother, how is Uncle Ninth's situation, can he survive this crisis? "

Cai Junfeng held the pot and refilled Shuya's tea: "Do your best and obey the destiny, that's the only way to go."

"Uncle Jiu is only 55 years old. He is in his prime, and his physical condition was pretty good in the past. If the treatment is done properly, there should be a chance of recovery." Shuya tentatively said, "Second Brother, have you ever considered sending Uncle Jiu?" Go abroad for treatment?"

Cai Junfeng smiled lightly: "Is it necessary?"

Even though she had learned from Mrs. Cai that it was unlikely that Cai Junfeng would send Cai Jiu abroad for treatment, Shu Ya still found it hard to accept it when she heard him say it so straightforwardly. She couldn't help but stare at him carefully, wanting to confirm. Did he misunderstand what he meant? Cai Junfeng lowered his eyebrows, pinched the rim of the cup with two fingers, and sipped the fragrant tea lightly, with a calm and calm expression on his face.

"Second brother—" Shuya hesitated, "Could it be, don't you really want Uncle Jiu to wake up?

Cai Junfeng raised his eyes, still smiling slightly: "Is that what Cai Wentao told you?
The topic changed too quickly, Shuya didn't react all of a sudden, she was tongue-tied and didn't know how to respond

The smile in his eyes gradually condensed, Cai Junfeng nodded: "It seems that you have already met Cai Wentao.

Shuya lowered her eyes, pursed her lips tightly and said nothing
Cai Junfeng looked at her silently for a moment, opened the car door, got out of the car and left.

It was only then that Shuya realized that the car had parked in the courtyard of Cai's main house at some point. The driver opened the door beside her and didn't urge her to get out of the car, but just stood aside respectfully and waited.

Although Cai Junfeng did not appear to be in a rage, Shu Ya could clearly feel his unbearable anger. She slowly got out of the car and looked around. The power grid is densely packed, and the possibility of slipping away is slim.Now that she had spoken, she decided to clarify the questions that had been pent up in her heart for several days.

In the hall, Cai Junfeng was sitting on the sofa with an indifferent expression, holding a half-burned cigarette between his fingers.Shuya walked to him and sat down, holding the handbag tightly with both hands, her fingertips turned white due to excessive force: "Second brother, eldest brother is innocent at all, isn't he?"

"Innocent?" Cai Junfeng sneered, "Everything is innocent, it's up to you or me to decide, but to the judge and the jury to decide.

"Then what about Amin, in her condition, do you think it is necessary to send her to a mental hospital?"

Cai Junfeng smiled sarcastically, his eyes filled with cold disdain: "Since she likes acting like a lunatic, why don't I go along with the flow and fulfill her wish, let her go to a mental hospital to act to the fullest."

Shuya shuddered. They had known each other for many years. In her mind, Cai Junfeng had always been a generous and gentle elder brother. Even in the past few days when she had a grudge, every time she thought of him, the first thing that popped up in her mind was still that... With a gentle and refined image, seeing him unabashedly showing another side at this moment, she couldn't tell whether she felt more fear or more loss in her heart.

After a long while, Shuya plucked up her courage: "Does the incident that caused Uncle Jiu to become a vegetable have anything to do with you?" When she asked this question, she lowered her head and stared at her own toes, hardly daring to look at Cai Junfeng's face. The emotions in my heart were complicated and contradictory. I hoped that the matter had nothing to do with him, but I was also afraid that my random suspicion would make him feel chilly and angry.

"I didn't do it." Cai Junfeng could not hear any emotion in his plain words.

However, Shuya keenly noticed the deliberate confusion in his words. Maybe it was not his intention to hurt Cai Jiu, but it may not have nothing to do with him. Thinking of this, her chest jumped suddenly, subconsciously unwilling to take a further step exploration. "Second Brother," she hesitated, speaking very slowly, "Ninth Uncle is your biological father!

Cai Junfeng leaned on the sofa cushions leisurely, with a half-smile: "Of course I am very clear about this.

Shuya was disappointed, she was still the same person, but she became very strange in a moment: "Cai Wentao and A Min," she bit her lip, and said softly, "They are your real brothers and sisters."

"Ha——" Cai Junfeng seemed to have heard a cold joke, and his face was full of ridicule, "Aya, tell me, when did those two brothers and sisters treat me as a younger brother or an older brother?"

Thinking about it carefully, what is in my memory is either Cai Wentao's indifference and contempt for Cai Junfeng, or Cai Wenmin's harsh rejection of Cai Junfeng. Besides, there seems to be no other intersection between the three brothers and sisters. Shuya sighed: "Sometimes , Big brother and A Min are indeed a bit too much, but standing in their position, it is out of love for their mother, after all, after all..."

"After all, my biological mother is a shameless woman, and I am an illegitimate child with a dishonorable status."

Shu Ya was anxious: "Second brother, I didn't mean that..."

"This is the truth," Cai Junfeng waved his hand and interrupted her explanation, "Although Cai Jiu is not the only woman outside, even without her, there will be others. But she is greedy for vanity, and she is willing to be a lowly woman. It is an indisputable fact that she did something wrong, and I am not going to find any reason to justify her. But, what did I do wrong? That woman gave birth to me to win favor, Cai Jiu I was allowed to be born for the multiple insurance of multiple sons. Before they decided to give birth to me, who would have thought about whether I would be willing to be born with such a shameful identity as an illegitimate child, and who had given me a chance to choose? In this world, it is not Parents gave life, children have to be grateful, if I had a choice, I would rather they never gave me this life!"

Having known each other for many years, Shuya vaguely knew about Cai Junfeng's life experience, but she didn't know the entanglements involved. He never said anything, nor expressed any dissatisfaction. It was the first time she heard him say these words, and she could almost feel his heart. The strong hatred made me feel sad, "Second brother, don't think that way, you didn't do anything wrong."

"When I was just sensible, I knew that I was the illegitimate son of Cai Jiu. At that time, I had no interest in the wealth and status of the Cai family, and I never expected to enter the door of the Cai family. My only wish was to study hard and grow up quickly. It's just such a simple wish, and they won't grant it to me!" Cai Junfeng's indifferent eyes showed disgust and cruelty, which made his originally soft face appear Very cold, "That woman wanted to replace Cai Jiu's wife and become the hostess of Cai's family. After trying to cry and act coquettishly, she tried to threaten suicide. The ridiculous thing is that she underestimated the man's cruelty, and the fake came true. , she was only 29 years old when she left, and I just turned ten years old. She paid the price for her mistakes with her life. A penny of living expenses has sent me away, I will thank him, or he will ignore me and let me fend for myself. Go back to Cai's house. If Mrs. Cai insists on not letting me enter the door of Cai's house as always, I appreciate her kind of genuine temperament, but she pretends to be virtuous and generous in front of Cai Jiu and expresses her willingness to accept me, and she pampers her two children behind her back Bullied me in every possible way and ordered the servants at home to make things difficult for me. She asked me to transfer to another school and study in the same class as Cai Wentao, saying that it was convenient for the driver to pick me up and drop me off. The car drove away, I was penniless, and ran behind the car for more than ten miles. When I got back to Cai’s house, it was already dark, and my feet were blistered, tired and hungry, but Cai Wentao told Cai Jiu: Because of my playfulness, the driver and he took the time to go home to find me. Cai Jiu fined me not to have dinner, and so on. Such grievances are commonplace. The sand and stones hit the teeth, drinking water and drinking dirty things and diarrhea, etc. Inexplicable and wonderful things happened every now and then. When I was studying, I was often criticized for failing to hand in homework. Who would have thought that the dignified second young master of the Cai family would be embarrassed I can’t even afford a pen and homework book. Little Amin, white and fat, and Yuxue is cute. I know she is my sister, and I want to treat her well from the bottom of my heart, but she calls me a bastard, don’t You bitch, it's really hard to imagine where a four-year-old child came from with such vicious words... Cai Jiu didn't notice everything I endured. He chose to ignore it in order to calm things down. I want to leave Cai's house. He told me that even if his Cai Jiu's son died in the Cai family, he could not be left outside to give others a handle. I finally understood that the grievances between the Cai family and me will not end because of the death of my biological mother, but my mother's death. There is no end to death with them, I don't want to be the dead side, so I have to be more ruthless than them."

The water in Shuya's eyes flickered, and she unconsciously reached out her hand to gently hold his hand: "I'm sorry, second brother, at that time, I didn't know anything about it."

Cai Junfeng withdrew his hand without a trace, the indifference in his eyes melted unconsciously, and he said in a joking tone: "You know what to do, why don't you help me fight? Speaking of which, you were indeed Beat the whole school invincible."

I still remember the first time we met. In the garden of Cai’s family, four-year-old Shuya beat a five-year-old boy until he cried. Shu Heng yelled imposingly, "Who dares to scold my daughter?" Although they were both guests of Cai's family, they were divided into three or five grades. The situation at that time was almost as soon as Shu Heng came out, and the group was silent.Later, with more chances to meet, he found that Shu Heng's love for his daughter was totally unprincipled. You deserved it for being bullied by his daughter. If you dare to touch his daughter's little finger, try not to tear you apart. It's considered polite, so that the little girl even walks like a domineering bastard. Although she doesn't agree with her in her heart, she is not without envy.

Shuya laughed out of tears, and said blushingly, "If I knew at that time, I could ask my father for help, at least it can save you from suffering so much."

This is the truth, Cai Junfeng looked at her and smiled slightly: "Then now, are you still willing to help me?"

……

The hall was silent, and Shuya's smooth forehead was dripping with sweat. After a long time, she shook her head with difficulty but still firmly: "I'm sorry, second brother, if Cai Wentao really did something to murder his own father, what will happen?" Or, you just want to teach him a lesson and make him pay for the bastard things he did back then. I will hand him over without hesitation today, but in fact, he is at the end of his rope. feet, he will die, and he may not be the only one who is dead, I can't do such a thing, I really can't do it!"

Cai Junfeng wasn't surprised, but his face still couldn't hide his disappointment. After pondering for a moment, he leaned slightly and stretched out his hand to Shuya.

Shuya closed her eyes tightly in a panic: "Second brother, are you going to hit me?"

"No, I never hit a woman, especially you." Cai Junfeng's voice was still warm, and he took the handbag from Shuya's hand, took out the phone, wallet, and house key one by one, and threw the handbag away. Give it back to her: "Aya, go to the bedroom upstairs to rest, it's the exclusive bedroom you used to live in, I'll ask someone to prepare some delicious and fun food for you to bring to your room, if you want anything else, Just dial the internal number and ask someone to send it over."

Shu Ya's eyes widened: "Second brother, you are illegally detained."

"Oh?" Cai Junfeng looked exaggeratedly surprised, "Then, what are you going to do, call the police, or sue me in court?"

Shu Ya stared blankly, unable to speak, he was clearly determined that she would not be able to do it.

Seeing her deflated look, Cai Junfeng smiled: "Let's go, go back to your room early to rest, at most you will stay for one night, and I will take you home tomorrow morning."

Shuya thought about what Cai Junfeng said, and suddenly realized: "I understand, the news of Uncle Jiu's critical illness is indeed a bait, second brother, in fact, you have already suspected me!"

Cai Junfeng had already stood up, but after hearing what she said, he sat down and leaned back again: "The first day I met you again, I guessed that you might have taken Cai Wentao in, I could have passed the information on to the police, They applied for a search warrant to find Cai Wentao, but I did not do so, do you know why?"

Thinking of the net that had been opened in the hospital, and her own text message that might lure Cai Wentao into the net, Shu Ya panicked, and her tone was not very good: "After all, you are just guessing, not one percent. I'm sure, if the police don't find anything, everyone's faces won't look very good, will they?"

"No, what I'm worried about is that if Cai Wentao is found in your house, you will be charged with harboring a suspect. If I'm not wrong, the opportunity is lost. Cai Wentao should leave your house, right? Aya, I don't want to hurt you, it doesn't matter if you don't want to help me, and I don't want to see you in trouble, I just hope you stay away from disputes, otherwise, I can't make sure that I won't hurt you by mistake." He picked up a cigar and pressed Put down the lighter.

Shuya stared straight at him: "Second brother, do you dare to say that you have never done anything to hurt me?"

The fingers on the lighter suddenly loosened, and the flame went out. Cai Junfeng looked at her sideways, his eyes dark and unclear: "It seems that Cai Wentao told you a lot of things, just because of this, so you want to help him?"

Shuya shook her head: "After knowing the two things you did before, I was indeed very angry, and I was so angry that I wanted to beat you up, but assuming that the person in trouble today is you, I will fight for you even if I try my best. You fight for a chance, second brother, good and bad can't cancel each other out, I remember more about your kindness to me."

Cai Junfeng bowed his head slightly and remained silent. His kindness to her was not pure at first, it was just to win Shu Heng's favor and seek some shelter.Until the age of 14, playing football was one of his few hobbies. Because of his excellent football skills, he was selected for the school team and participated in the inter-school football league. Mrs. Cai refused to pay for his uniform and shoes, and only threw them to He had an old uniform that was eliminated by Cai Wentao. Standing in the uniformed team, he was wearing a completely different uniform, which looked abrupt and weird. Just as he was about to quit the team in embarrassment, the seven-year-old Shuya used She bought him a full set of football uniforms and sneakers with her own pocket money. She said: "Second brother looks really good when he plays football. If he wears the same clothes and shoes as everyone else, he will definitely be even better." The utilitarian show of favor shows a little more sincerity.It is also because of this that every time he uses her, he is not without psychological burden, especially the matter related to Chu Jie, which hurt Shuya deeply beyond expectations. Since then, he has never Dare to risk her, after all, there are very few people in this world who are willing to treat him sincerely.

"Second brother—" Shuya grabbed his sleeve and shook it lightly.

Cai Junfeng came back to his senses, and habitually raised his hand to rub her hairy head: "Don't cut your hair short in the future, although you look beautiful like this, I still like your long hair better."

He stood up from the sofa and walked out quickly. Shuya followed closely behind him, staggering at every step, almost pleading: "Second brother, second brother, you are already the winner, so let eldest brother and Amin go!" Come on, okay, let them leave here far away, okay?"

Cai Junfeng kept walking, and sighed helplessly: "Aya, you are good in everything, but this bad temper is really unbearable sometimes."

"A good person?" Shuya smiled wryly, "Brother and Amin are not some unrelated passers-by. Uncle Jiu has taken care of me like a daughter for nearly ten years. They are Uncle Jiu's children and relatives who grew up with me. , Second Brother, your surname is Cai, Uncle Jiu really owed you a lot in the past, but in those years, he treated you pretty well, can't you..."

Cai Junfeng suddenly stopped and turned around. Shu Ya was caught off guard and bumped into her. Fortunately, Cai Junfeng held her shoulder in time: "You think I never thought of letting go, but they themselves refused to let me go."

"Huh?" Shuya was taken aback.

"After the age of 15, my ability to be independent gradually emerged. Cai Jiu relied more and more on me, and gradually put many things in my hands. Gradually, I had an independent economic foundation and sphere of influence. For so many years, Cai Jiu Jiu really treated me well, but he gave me everything Cai Wentao had, and sometimes even gave me more. Although Mrs. Cai and her daughter didn't like me, they didn't do anything except speak harsh words. Without me, I thought that Cai Jiu was finally willing to face up to my son, but he ignored a very important reality: when I was studying and working hard for the Cai family's foundation, Cai Wentao was enjoying the ready-made in front of the romantic and passionate son on campus. Later, Cai Wentao and I were admitted to a famous foreign school at the same time, and my grades were far superior to his. At that time, I thought I could finally leave Cai’s house far away, so I said to myself, let’s forget the past. Now that I'm gone, I won't come back, and start a new life."

Shu Ya nodded: "This is very good. With my second brother's ability, where will I worry about my future?"

Cai Junfeng's thin lips curled up, and a icy smile appeared: "The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. The Cai family's fortune is not very glorious. The so-called making a fortune, Mrs. Cai said that the Cai family needs a good public image." My sons and daughters, superior family background, excellent appearance, perfect education, elegant words and deeds, all these are the basis for attracting the attention of the public. And I, an illegitimate child with a disgraceful background, is enough to make the public ignore all positive influences and focus on the past Therefore, I must keep a low profile and reduce the possibility of attracting public attention, and I cannot study abroad at the same time as Cai Wentao, because in the future, as long as someone mentions Cai Wentao's education, he will inevitably think of me. My existence is a stain that the Cai family will never wash away."

"It's too much," Shuya murmured, and then asked, "What about Uncle Jiu, what would Uncle Jiu say?"

"Him?" Cai Junfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, looking more ruthless, "He withheld my passport and told me bluntly that one of the two sons of the Cai family must be in the clear, as the heir to the family business, and develop the family business openly. In the dark, handle all affairs that cannot be put on the table, and clear the obstacles for the development of the family business. It was not until that moment that I fully figured out that he has raised me for so many years, and deliberately cultivated me, all in order to make me become Cai Wentao He will serve the Cai family for the rest of his life, and will take the blame for his son when necessary."

"But, but you are also Uncle Jiu's son." Shu Ya felt incredible.

"No, in Cai Jiu's eyes, I'm not his son, but a tool that can be used." Cai Junfeng's eyes filled with a strong sadness, "Since they forced me to stay, they must bear the consequences of doing so. Aya, do you still want to stop me?"

Shuya stared at him blankly, it was the first time she saw such a fragile emotion in that handsome eyes, she almost shook her head without thinking.Cai Junxiu left for a long time before she came back to her senses and circled around the hall in confusion: "What did Second Brother ask me just now?"

When Shuya circled the tenth circle, Ye Qingsong, who was already dizzy at the side, hurried her into the bedroom.In the past, when Cai Jiu was here, from time to time, he would pick Shuya to stay at Cai's house for a few days, so the main house has her exclusive bedroom all year round.The room was furnished warmly and comfortably. Apparently, after learning that she had come back, Cai Junfeng had someone tidy it up on purpose. There were her favorite snacks and fresh fruit on the table, a few books and a laptop on the bedside table, and a hanger in the closet. I bought three sets of new clothes that didn't even remove the tags. Except that I couldn't communicate with the outside world, everything else was almost everything.

Resting on the big bed, Cai Junfeng, Cai Jiu, Cai Wentao, and Cai Wenmin flashed through Shu Ya's mind like a revolving lantern, and felt that Cai Jiu was too partial, and Cai Wentao's two siblings bullied Cai Junfeng too much. , deserved today's retribution, disheartened and didn't want to care about them anymore.After a while, he thought of the fateful friendship between Cai Jiu and his father, who loved Cai Jiu as her own daughter since she was a child, and the years of friendship between herself and Cai Wenmin.Finally, I thought of Cai Wentao, even though they had disliked each other for many years, most of the troubles she caused when she was a child were mostly because he stepped forward to help with the aftermath, and every time there was any trouble, no matter how annoyed he was, he would subconsciously defend her first.She was extremely happy to beat him up. It seemed too unethical to watch him die, but if she helped them, it seemed that she would harm Cai Junfeng. What should be done to achieve the best of both worlds?Tangled back and forth, she fell asleep in a daze.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Shuya was awakened by a commotion. She opened her eyes and saw the darkness outside the window, and the sound of people downstairs. She listened attentively, and vaguely caught the words "hospital" and "Cai Wentao", and her heart beat. Suddenly speed up.

Probably everything was a foregone conclusion, Shuya ran out of the bedroom without any further obstruction.In the middle of the hall, Cai Junfeng was sitting on the sofa, resting his forehead with his hands, with a tired face.A dozen or so people were standing or sitting around, discussing something in one go, and seeing Shuya appear, all of them stopped talking at the same time, and looked at her in unison.

Cai Junfeng beckoned to her, and said softly, "Aya, we are going to eat Xiaoye, do you want to go together?"

Shuya walked towards him slowly and was about to speak when a car key on the coffee table came into view. She eagerly grabbed the car key and took a closer look. There was a thumb-sized porcelain doll hanging on the end of the car key, hehe Smiling and naive, yes, it is the key of the car she lent Cai Wentao to use, a picture suddenly flashed in my mind: the delirious Cai Wentao grabbed her hand, and said in a sad tone, "I am not willing to die like this , not reconciled..." Her eyes were hot, she looked at Cai Junfeng and opened her mouth, but she never dared to ask that sentence.

Cai Junfeng understood what she wanted to know, and his expression was calm as usual: "Cai Wentao was indeed tricked into going to the hospital, but he was very vigilant and kept his back from the beginning. When he found that the situation was not right, he immediately played a golden cicada to escape the shell and broke out from the ambush Get out, whereabouts are currently unknown."

Shuya breathed a sigh of relief, but also had some doubts: "Then what's the matter with this car key?"

"This is what the second young master called the 'shell'," Ye Qingsong explained, "Cai Wentao found someone to help him drive on the grounds that his hands and feet were inconvenient, and when he entered the hospital parking lot, he deliberately pretended to forget to take back the car key. The man who drove him thought he had picked up a big deal, drove off with the car, and ended up distracting the police for him."

"Cai Wentao won't be able to escape for long, I think he can only hide until dawn at most," another person added, "He was seriously injured tonight. Sending him to prison for dinner, we really don't have the face to see Uncle Jiu."

The others nodded in agreement.

Cai Junfeng glanced at Shuya who seemed to be preoccupied, and said: "The car has already been driven back for you, and it is parked in the front yard. Fortunately, the bumper is damaged, the main body of the body is not damaged, and it will not affect driving. I will let you drive tomorrow." Someone to help you drive to the repair shop to replace a pair of bumpers."

Shuya looked at Cai Junfeng: "Second brother, can I have a few words with you alone?"

Cai Junfeng frowned lightly, turned around and said to Ye Qingsong: "You take everyone out for supper first."

After the group of people left one after another, Cai Junfeng sighed: "Aya, have you ever heard a saying, saving lives, killing people, and things have reached today's point, even if I want to stop, it's impossible, let alone Besides, I never regret anything I've done."

Shuya still refused to give up: "Second brother, you can clear up the grievances for elder brother, right?"

Cai Junfeng took a sip of tea from his water cup: "I have no reason to do such a thankless thing."

"Second brother, there is a saying in this world, if you want people to know you have to do nothing, no matter how perfect your layout is, there will always be a day when you break the game, if you are willing to give eldest brother and Amin a way out, it is best to give uncle Jiu I guarantee that your status as the heir to the family business will become a matter of course, no one will ever be able to threaten your status, and even if Uncle Jiu wakes up in the future, your status as the heir must be recognized."

"You?" Cai Junfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly, "Why?"

"Uncle Jiu once said in front of all the uncles that only the son who becomes my father's son-in-law can inherit his position. If you marry me, you will be the rightful heir of the Cai family. Uncle Jiu also said that in your lifetime , will never let me and my relatives be hurt again, if you become my husband, you will be my relatives. I have never seen him break any promises made by Uncle Jiu." After a pause, she gritted her teeth , the expression on his face seemed to be about to die generously, "Second brother, marry me, I will protect you well in the future, and never let you get hurt again!"

Cai Junfeng shook his hand, spilled most of the tea, and directed at her last bold words, he didn't know whether he should find it funny or touched, he reached out to touch Shu Ya's forehead: "Do you have a high fever, or Possessed by the Holy Mother, taking righteousness into benevolence, sacrificing oneself to seek Buddha? But even if you are willing to marry, I may not necessarily be willing to marry, don’t you think that maybe I already have someone I like?”

"Second brother, it doesn't matter if you already have someone you like, anyway, I don't like you, er——, no, I should like you, but my like is completely different from the kind of like you mentioned... After talking like a tongue twister, Shuya realized that she was a little incoherent, so she could only look at Cai Junfeng eagerly, "In short, you understand, right?"

Cai Junfeng smiled lightly and nodded: "I almost understand, then, what are you going to do?"

"We are only legally named couples, and I will not restrict any of your freedom. You explain it to the person you like, and wait patiently for a year or two. When your status is stable, I will deliberately make some mistakes. If you come out, such as Hong Xing's affair, you can justifiably dissolve our legal marriage relationship."

"You are so considerate of me, I'm really touched," Cai Junfeng said sarcastically, "I'd be even more touched if you would mind your own business." He didn't want to say anything more, stood up and left.

Shuya grabbed the hem of his clothes and said with a deadpan face, "Second brother, this is a way to have the best of both worlds."

Cai Junfeng shook her hand away, with a gloomy expression: "I'll give you two choices now, one is to have a midnight snack with me, and don't mention other things; the other is to go back to the bedroom immediately, and I will take you home at dawn .”

Disappointed, Shuya stared blankly at him for a moment, then suddenly grabbed the car keys and rushed out. After a while, the sound of the car starting came from the yard.Cai Junfeng stood calmly on the spot, looking at the open door indifferently, a self-deprecating smile flashed across his face, and it disappeared in an instant.

Ye Qingsong came behind him: "Brother Feng?"

"Follow her," Cai Junfeng ordered without emotion, "Be careful, don't let her get hurt."

After wandering around aimlessly for nearly two hours, Shu Ya didn't even touch Cai Wentao's shadow, her mobile phone and wallet were all left at Cai Junfeng's place, and she couldn't even make a phone call.She randomly found a dark corner to stop the car, and fell on the steering wheel in frustration, feeling aggrieved inexplicably, with a strong urge to cry.

There were two soft "bang bang" sounds outside the car window, Shuya raised her head, and a security guard in uniform made a gesture through the window glass, she pressed the electric glass window, and the security guard said politely: " Sorry miss, no parking here."

Shuya nodded, restarted the car, raised her head inadvertently, and saw three huge words shining in the brightly lit place in front of her: Extreme Night City.

Extreme Night City is the largest and most luxurious entertainment city in S City, a gold-selling cave where rich people from all over the place flock to. Shuya's focus is that Extreme Night City is one of the major industries under Chu Jie's name, which means that he is extremely It is possible to show up in this place.She stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the direction of Extreme Night City.

In front of the gate of Extreme Night City, Shuya was blocked. The guard's attitude was respectful but firm: "Sorry, we implement a membership system here, and you must be led by a member to enter. Ma'am, if you are interested in joining the club, please provide For any member's recommendation letter, I will take you to go through the formalities immediately, and the membership procedures can be completed within 5 minutes."

"I'm here to find someone," Shuya glanced at her watch, seeing that the time was almost midnight, Shuya was anxious, "I have something urgent to find Chu Jie, please convey it to me, can you?"

The guard looked Shuya up and down, and his attitude became a little contemptuous: "Beautiful girl, young ladies often come to see Mr. Chu, but unfortunately, they can't even see Mr. Chu's face. I made the trip for nothing."

After hearing what the guard said, Shuya concluded that Chu Jie should be in Extreme Night City at this moment, and quickly added: "I have known Chu Jie for a long time, he should meet me, so you just say I am..."

"Every time the women who come to see Mr. Chu say that they have a close relationship with Mr. Chu, some claim to be his girlfriend, some claim to be his wife, and the most outrageous ones claim to be Mr. Chu's goddaughter, beautiful girl, are you ready?" What kind of identity do you make up for yourself?"

Shuya looked up at the sky and thought for half a minute, then said solemnly, "I am Chu Jie's long-lost godmother!"

Doorman:...

Just as Shuya was about to say something, a person came out from the gate: "Where's the backup dancer, why hasn't he come yet?"

Shuya's eyes lit up, and she waved her hand and shouted, "Brother Ping, I'm here, I'm here."

"Ah, Aya—" Lin Pingzhi added in surprise, "When will you come back..."

"Let's go in first." Shuya dragged Lin Pingzhi into the gate of Extreme Night City.

Extreme Night City, as the name suggests, is like a city within a city, in which each entertainment venue is self-contained and distributed throughout the city.Lin Pingzhi took Shuya into a large dance hall, and said to her like offering a treasure: "I will take care of this place, isn't it good?"

Shuya looked around, and immediately had a feeling of going back in time. This is a retro-style dance hall, similar to the style of the "Metropolitan Dance Hall" in old Shanghai, with antique and magnificent decoration.On the stage of the Waterside Pavilion, the singers in cheongsams were graceful and swaying, and the song they sang was the once-popular "Night Shanghai".In the spacious dance hall, light and shadow intertwine, and the clothes are fragrant and the temples are shadowed. It has the charm of singing and dancing in the old days of Shanghai Bund.

Shuya praised sincerely: "It's very unique!"

After being affirmed, Lin Pingzhi was full of joy: "You sit down first, I'll ask someone to bring you some signature snacks and drinks here, I haven't seen you for several years, I still want to chat with you..."

But Shuya didn't have time to catch up with him, she didn't care about being polite, and hurriedly interrupted him: "Ping, I have something urgent to find Chu Jie, can you take me to see him?"

Lin Pingzhi's joy turned into frustration in an instant, and he said lazily, "It's been so many years, you still miss Brother Jie?"

Shuya was impatient: "What are you thinking about? I don't even think about you. I'm looking for him to ask him for help."

Lin Pingzhi was surprised: "So serious?"

"Well," Shuya said seriously, "very serious!"

Lin Pingzhi hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll help you find Brother Jie."

As soon as the words fell, a beautiful woman about 25 years old hurried over: "Brother Ping, is anyone here?" Seeing Shuya standing with Lin Pingzhi, she smiled happily, "This beautiful girl is here to replace you." Lead dancer, come on, come on, I'm waiting for your rescue." She pulled Shuya up and rushed backstage.

"Hey, she doesn't..." Lin Pingzhi wanted to stop it.

Shu Ya waved her hand at him: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it myself, go and find someone for me."

Being dragged to the backstage, Shuya breathed a sigh of relief, and before she could speak, the impatient woman had already picked up the makeup and applied it to her face. While quickly applying makeup for Shuya, she kept talking: "Beautiful girl, my name is An Qi, and I'm the stage foreman here. The lead dancer who danced "Carmen" suddenly played a big role and refused to go on stage. I'm sure I won't have time to find someone to replace me. I think I have to ask her. Don't be afraid. Who, what can't I talk about, I have to play blackmail, it's the most annoying thing, I was thinking that if Brother Ping didn't find someone to save him, I'd rather go on stage and dance as a god than suffer from that woman Qi, fortunately you are here, the world is in an emergency, you are loyal enough, I will invite you for supper after the show."

Shuya couldn't help laughing when she heard her crackling words. She thought that An Qi was cute and wanted to help her, so she didn't explain further. "Carmen" is one of the classic songs in old Shanghai. When Shuya was learning to dance, she heard this song by accident. She felt that the lyrics were too individual. Okay, but the backup dancer of this song usually uses male actors, and the lead dancer is the only woman, so the movements are not difficult, not to mention that on this occasion, there are a few people who will pay attention to the details of the dance. It is better to say It's about the beauty's figure.Shu Ya is more than 1.7 meters tall, and her measurements can be called the golden ratio. Wearing the dance dress that is somewhat similar to a modified cheongsam, she and An Qi, who is a woman, looked straight at her and praised: "You are too strong, just because of your figure. , is enough to instantly kill the audience."

"Love is just an ordinary thing, it's not unusual at all; a man is just a thing of displeasure, what's the big deal..." Responding to the provocative singing voice, Shuya stepped on the stage to perform and fiddled with her posture , She is good at dancing, her limbs are soft, her twists are quite graceful, her slender snow-white legs are looming between the raised skirts from time to time, and she still looks decent after throwing a few winks.

In a VIP room on the third floor, several handsome men were drinking and chatting. One of them stared at the large LED screen on the wall for a while, then turned his head and said to the people beside him: "Jie Shao, the lead dancer's The quality of its own hardware is quite good, after a period of professional training, coupled with packaging and publicity, it will definitely become popular.”

Chu Jie drank too much tonight, he was already a little fuzzy, he raised his eyes and casually glanced at the screen. "Huh——" He suddenly stood up, and leaned towards the screen to take a closer look, "She, she is..."

"Brother Jie," Lin Pingzhi panted and pushed the door open, "So you are here, it's not easy to find you, someone wants to see you."

"Could it be..." Chu Jie pointed to the screen, then looked at Lin Pingzhi.

Looking at the charming Shuya on the screen, Lin Pingzhi opened his mouth wide in surprise and nodded subconsciously.

Before everyone could react, Chu Jie disappeared from the room in a flash.

……

In the hall on the first floor, a drunk man danced and rushed to the stage of the water pavilion: "Little baby, I'm here for your love brother." He climbed up the stage with hands and feet.Shuya's face darkened, and while the guy had just climbed onto the edge of the stage and hadn't stood still, she used her usual trick, kicked the guy hard in the abdomen, and kicked him directly into the fountain pool in front of the stage In the middle, on the side, the two security guards who had just rushed to the stage to pull people looked dumbfounded.

After being soaked in cold water, the drunk was more than half sober. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he inevitably became angry and cursed, "Smelly woman, let me see how I deal with it..." A high-heeled shoe flew from the sky and hit him hard on the left side of his face. Half a shoe print swelled up his cheek.On the high platform, Shuya hooked the other high-heeled shoe with one finger, squinting at the drunk man with undisguised ridicule and contempt on her face.

The sour man was furious: "Damn it, the manager, the person in charge, get out of here."

An Qi walked to the pool with two security guards, neither humble nor overbearing: "Mr. Ma, I suggest you go and change your wet clothes first, and talk about other things slowly, how about it?"

"Talk slowly? It's not that easy!" That Mr. Ma climbed out of the pool in embarrassment, aggressively, "I spend money to enjoy, not to get angry. What kind of service attitude do you have, and the lady dares to beat the customer? You immediately tell me A confession."

An Qi didn't change her face: "Mr. Ma, our dancers are only in charge of performing, and no other services are provided. Your behavior interferes with our normal performance and also affects our guests watching the performance. I think you should give Let's talk together."

The guests who can enter Extreme Night City are either rich or expensive. Everyone relies on their status, and it doesn't matter how indulgent they are in private, but few people will make a fool of themselves in public like Mr. Ma. Watch the fun from the sidelines.

Facing Angie with a tough attitude, Mr. Ma was even more embarrassed. He pointed at the tip of her nose in a fit of anger, "You fucking..." Two tall security guards stepped forward, and Mr. Ma's momentum suddenly weakened. He held his breath in his chest, unable to move up or down.Glancing at the culprit who was leisurely watching the fun standing beside the stage, the anger in his chest immediately found a place to vent, and he glared fiercely at Shuya: "Bitch, come out to sell, why are you pretending to be chaste and fierce?"

Another high-heeled shoe flew over with lightning speed, and hit his right side of the face harder and more accurately than the previous one. As a result, Mr. Ma's right side of the face immediately swelled like a pig's head.

Chu Jie stepped forward from behind Shuya, and clapped his hands with a smile: "Oh, Ma Jin, can I throw it accurately?"

The drunk man named Ma Jin's face turned pale, he was obedient and didn't dare to say anything, and he completely lost his previous arrogance.

Chu Jie took off his coat and put it on Shuya to block those fiery eyes staring at her delicate figure from time to time.The waiter brought over a brand new pair of shoes, Chu Jie helped Shuya sit down, half squatted down and put on her shoes with his own hands, when he did all this, his expression was natural and his movements were smooth, as if it was a very normal thing.

Shuya felt quite uncomfortable, and shrank her feet back: "I will do it myself."Chu Jie held her ankle, not strong enough, but enough to make her unable to break free. He carefully tied the decorative shoelaces for her, and then he let go, raised his head and smiled softly at her, instantly radiant and handsome.

Shuya looked down at the expensive leather shoes under her feet, and suddenly felt like laughing, but her nose was filled with soreness. She was no longer the ignorant little girl back then. She understood what he was doing. mean.If he had been willing to treat her like this four years ago, she would have been deeply moved. Unfortunately, today, her heart has hardened and she is not easily moved.

Facing his beautiful and deep eyes, she couldn't feel the slightest wave in her heart, and said in a low voice: "I have something very urgent to tell you, can I talk to you alone?"

Chu Jie nodded, and said: "Xiao Jiang, I'll leave it to you." He pulled Shu Ya up and left as if no one else was around. When he passed by that Ma Jin, he paused. Looking down at the other party, he smiled kindly: "Ma Jin, you really are getting better and better. You come to play on my territory, which makes me very unhappy. What can I do?"

Ma Jin's head was full of cold sweat: "Jie Shao, oh, Jie Shao, I, I..."

Chu Jie didn't bother to look at his cowardly look anymore, so he dragged Shu Ya to continue walking.

Before getting on the elevator, Shuya heard that Jiang Zhiyuan was still talking about it: "Mr. Ma, we have a lot to talk about, such as venue maintenance fees, reputation loss fees, staff lost wages, and, what else is there? He glanced at An Qi, and An Qi immediately clasped her hands in a tacit understanding, with tears in her eyes: "Oh, I was frightened just now, my heart beat faster, my blood pressure increased, and my heart attack recurred." Jiang Zhi Yu Yi slapped his head: "Oh——, pay medical expenses, mental damage expenses..." The way these people handle affairs has always been strong and direct, and they emphasize simplicity and efficiency. Tossing and tossing, most of them had the intention of venting their anger for Shuya.

A pair of big bright eyes quietly bent into two crescent moons, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw Chu Jie was looking at her, Shuya turned her head to him generously: "Thank you!"

Facing her clear and bright eyes, Chu Jie actually showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, but his lips could not help but rise slightly.After the car accident four years ago, he didn't meet her again until today. During this period, he had inquired about her in many ways, and thought about going to her, but due to many reasons, he never made it.When I finally saw her again, apart from the joy in my heart, I felt a little uneasy.Due to the advantages of his own conditions, he never had to bother, and he was surrounded by beautiful women in various poses and with different poses. Chu Jie had never had much patience with those women who were always crying and acting coquettish and losing their temper. Instead, it made him a little overwhelmed.

After entering a spacious office, Shuya didn't say too many polite words, and went straight to the point: "Jie Shao, I remember you said before that if I need you to do something, you will do it within your ability. Do it for me, does this sentence still count?"

"Of course." Chu Jie took a step closer to her, and asked with concern, "Did you encounter any trouble?"

Shuya took two steps back, "I want to beg, please save Cai Wentao's life!"

"No," Chu Jie refused without thinking, "The Cai family brothers are fighting among themselves, as long as they don't offend the interests of outsiders, no one is allowed to interfere in their family's internal affairs. This is the rule. You can mention another thing. "

"I know I'm in a difficult situation, but I just ask you to save Cai Wentao's life tonight and help him leave the city. As for what will happen next," Shuya closed her eyes, "Let's resign ourselves to fate, this is not an interference in their family's internal affairs. Chu Jie, I've been begging you for this one thing for the rest of my life, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will never bother you again in the future."

Chu Jie frowned slightly. He never made promises lightly. Once he made a promise, he would definitely fulfill it. If someone else had made the promise to Shuya, it would be great if he could break it once. But through Shuya's mouth, It made him feel very uncomfortable, and it seemed that he was eager to get rid of the relationship with him.

After taking a few steps slowly, he leaned against the executive desk behind him, crossing his arms and tied them in front of his chest: "I remember that you and Cai Wentao didn't have a lot of rivalry before, although the case of Cai Jiu being seriously injured by his own son may be tricky. , but you don't have to meddle in this business at all."

"After all, the elder brother who has been called him for more than ten years is at the critical moment of life and death. If I have not met him, I may only sigh for him in the future, but now that I have met him, I just watched him die without doing his best. I am afraid that the rest of my life will be the end of my life." Nightmares keep coming. What's more, decapitation is a matter of doing one or two, and once a person's limit is broken, he will become unscrupulous." Shuya sighed deeply, and it was inconvenient for her to say something. Everything he did was not only to fight for Cai Wentao's life, but also to prevent Cai Junfeng from breaking through the limit. Today he can put Cai Wentao to death in order to eliminate hidden dangers, so in the future he can also cut off Cai Jiu and others in order to eradicate the grass. In the future, they may kill people and silence their mouths. Once people's hearts are stained with blood, it will be difficult to wash them off.

Chu Jie was silent, and tapped the table with two fingers carelessly. Finally, he glanced at Shuya. She looked extremely tired, and the stage makeup on her face hadn't been removed in time. The complexion and the shadows under the eyelids were heavy, but she still forced her eyes to open wide, staring at him with piercing eyes.Chu Jie was helpless and distressed, and pressed the intercom on the desktop: "Let Ah Meng and Xiao Jiang come, the sooner the better."

Shuya breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves seemed to relax, and she leaned back on the sofa, raising her hands to cover her sore eyes.

"Ah Meng and Xiao Jiang are both good trackers. When they come, you tell them about Gu Ben." Chu Jie came to sit beside her, pulled her hands away from her eyes, and asked softly, "Is that true?" very tired?"

Shuya shook her head, withdrew her hand from him, moved to the side, opened the distance between the two, realized that she was still wearing Chu Jie's coat, quickly took off the coat, and handed it back. give him.

Chu Jie didn't reach out to take the coat, but looked at her quietly for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "You, do you hate me?"

Shuya put the coat in front of him, and smiled silently: "I don't hate it, I just..."

"Brother Jie, Aya." Wu Meng and Jiang Zhiyuan pushed the door and walked in, and brought Suya and Shuya's clothes left behind in the dance hall by the way.Seeing Shuya, they felt cordial and joyful from the bottom of their hearts, but time was running out, and the matter of reminiscing about the old days had to be postponed.

Shuya gave a brief account of Cai Wentao's situation, before writing down the mobile phone number on a note: "I don't know if I can still get through this number. I have never dared to call, for fear of exposing his tracks."

Wu Meng took the note: "Xiaojiang and I will bring a few trustworthy people to find Cai Wentao, but it's almost two o'clock in the morning, if we haven't found anyone by five o'clock in the morning, we can only give up, Aya, do you understand me?"

Shuya nodded: "Thank you for your hard work!"

Jiang Zhiyuan patted her on the shoulder: "We will try our best to find it. It's not hopeless at all. Wait for our good news."

Shuya nodded with a smile.

Coming out of the bathroom, Shuya saw Chu Jie standing by the window smoking a cigarette with a solemn expression, as if he was troubled by some troubles.In her memory, he always looked cynical, and people and things from the outside world seldom influenced his emotions. It seemed that the trouble she had caused him this time was not small. Shuya apologized a little: "Young Master Jie, wait Now that's over, shall I treat everyone to dinner?"

"Well," Chu Jie replied absent-mindedly, pointing to the supper brought by Wu Meng and the others on the tea table, "Let's eat something."

Shuya didn't eat dinner, and ran around for most of the night. Now that she is free, she feels that her stomach hurts from hunger. The sweet milk tea and snacks prepared for the supper are all her favorite flavors, and she can tell at a glance that they are from Lin Pingzhi. Among several big men, only he can be so careful.

"Are you eating?" She asked politely.

Chu Jie shook his head. Seeing these late-night snacks, he knew that when that guy was preparing for the late-night snack, he obviously didn't take him into consideration.

Shuya has never had the self-consciousness to take the initiative to get close to others, seeing that he was indifferent, she didn't say anything more, and ate a sweet and fragrant supper.

Chu Jie couldn't control his eyes, and his eyes kept gliding towards her. She changed back to her clothes, and after removing the stage makeup, she had a plain face, fair and clear, and her facial features were still bright and charming, but they were no longer the same as before. That kind of beauty of a peerless enchantress.He coughed lightly and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Ah?" Shuya held the egg tart in her hand, with a strange expression on her face.

Chu Jie was embarrassed: "It's just, it's the sentence you didn't finish before Xiaojiang and the others came in."

The corner of Shuya's mouth twitched lightly, she almost forgot about it, never thought that he was still struggling.Shu Ya is not a narcissistic person, she knows that she looks good, but Chu Jie, as a big boss in the entertainment industry, has never seen such a beautiful woman, he may suddenly be interested in her at the moment, but it does not mean that he is She became a god-like Mary Sue, who was able to influence a veteran of flowers to wash her hands in a gold plate, and the prodigal son returned to his heart. From then on, you are a lunatic and I am a fool, lingering every night until dawn.

Putting down the egg tart, Shuya took out two tissues and wiped her hands with her head down: "I just don't want to cause unnecessary misunderstanding."

Chu Jie let out a soft "Oh", and leaned on the window sill to stand silently. After a long while, he couldn't help but find another way to say: "How are you doing all these years?"

"Okay, how about you, how are you doing?"

"Not very good." Chu Jie's expression was deep.

Shuya let out a long breath, with a look of relief on her face: "Knowing that you are not doing well, I feel relieved."

"Uh—" Chu Jie was completely speechless.

Shuya felt that she should be full, so she put the cups and saucers into the tray, and then picked up the costume, "I'll return the things to A Ping and An Qi." She held the things in both hands, Chu Ya Jie opened the door for her and stood at the door. Shuya turned her head and smiled, "Let me know if you have any news."

"Okay." Chu Jie nodded with a smile, let go of the door handle, and the office door closed automatically without a sound, and the smile slowly froze on his lips.He frowned, and paced back and forth in the spacious room with his head down. It's no big deal to like someone. He doesn't think he is a long-term person, and his preferences change every day. The kind of person in the world who likes and rejects thoroughly, just fell in love with it again, and has been obsessed with it for four years. This is really terrible.

Looking through the glass wall, I saw that Shuya was talking to Lin Pingzhi and Jin Yuanbao in the hall downstairs, with a friendly expression and a joyful smile.Comparing her politeness and alienation when facing him, Chu Jie's depressed mood became more and more depressed.

After a while, the door of the office was gently pushed open a gap, Chu Jie raised his head abruptly, but saw Jin Yuanbao poking his head at the door, disappointed, and reprimanded angrily: "Come in if you have something to say, what's the matter with being sneaky?" look."

"Hey, Brother Jie, look," Jin Yuanbao held up a piece of paper as if offering a treasure, "I'll do the research for you. This is Aya's current phone number and address."

Chu Jie took the piece of paper, and patted Jin Yuanbao on the shoulder: "Yuanbao, what is a good brother, just like you, you will see the truth at the critical moment!" The ringing tone of the mobile phone was interrupted.

After answering the phone and listening to a few words, Chu Jie's face was serious: "Watch out and don't let him go ashore, I'll bring Shuya over right away."

……

Chu Jie's racing skills are better than Shu Ya's. While steering the steering wheel flexibly, he said: "Cai Wentao found it. Ah Meng and Xiao Jiang are sending him to the ferry. Half an hour later, he will leave the city on a freighter. I want to see you before leaving, we will go there now, it will take about 15 minutes at the earliest."

Chu Jie stopped the car outside the pier: "Go, I'll wait for you here." Then he handed Shuya a big bulging document bag, "Cai Wentao may need this."

Opening the file bag, there were several thick stacks of cash inside, enough for Cai Wentao to find a place to settle down and live for several years. Shuya was grateful: "This money is considered to be lent to me, and I will return it to you tomorrow."

Chu Jie wanted to say that there is no need to pay it back, but after thinking about it, the words on his lips changed: "If you want to pay it back, just pay me the cash."

"No problem." Shuya agreed straight away, and when she turned to leave, she saw Chu Jie's face full of contented smiles, and she couldn't help but secretly wondered, isn't it just to pay back the money, what's there to be happy about?
A small cargo ship was parked on the sea surface of the ferry. Cai Wentao stood on the deck leaning against the side of the ship. The drizzle fell from the sky, and the raindrops fell on his hairline, condensing into small droplets. New injuries added old injuries, and his face was pale from pain and blood loss. , the spirit also seemed quite sluggish, but he was calm and calm, which made Wu Meng and Jiang Zhiyuan look at him with admiration.

"Master Cai," Jiang Zhiyuan walked to the front of the approach bridge of the ferry, and tossed him a cigarette in the air, "The right and wrong between you brothers is not a matter for us to ask. Try not to cause trouble. But since Aya came to ask for it, Brother Jie couldn't ignore you. Now if those people know that it was our brothers who fished you out of the encirclement, everyone will face you in the future. It’s not pretty. Therefore, whether you have any grievances or not, you must leave the city tonight. It’s not easy for Aya to ask for help to save you. It’s not easy for us brothers to send you here. It’s not easy for everyone For the sake of this, please forgive me."

Cai Wentao is polite: "You are my saviors, let's not say how to repay you, I will not make things difficult for you in turn, please rest assured, as long as Master Jie doesn't nod, I will never step on your shoulders." Half a step to land, but when Aya comes, can I have a few words with her alone?"

"No problem," Jiang Zhiyuan readily agreed.

Shuya trotted all the way, and as soon as she ran onto the approach bridge of the ferry, Wu Meng hurried over to meet her.Helping Shuya, who was panting, he whispered: "Cai Wentao must go, don't cause big troubles for Brother Jie and yourself because of a soft heart, understand?"

Shuya raised her head and looked at Cai Wentao. He had already changed out of the worn and blood-stained clothes. He was neatly dressed. Although his face was not very good-looking, he did not look embarrassed. Inconspicuous, I deliberately helped him disguise himself.

Jiang Zhiyuan stood at the end of the approach bridge, and when Shuya came to him, he raised his hand and pressed her shoulder: "There are more than ten minutes left, so make a long story short!" Letting go, he passed her and said as he walked, "We'll be here soon!" We have to go to another place to set up the scene, and there will be other people guarding the ferry before the boat starts."

"Aya!" Cai Wentao leaned on the side of the boat and stood up straight, with a calm expression on his face, but excitement was involuntarily revealed in his eyes. When facing life and death, the last person that flashed in his mind was actually her.

Shuya tossed the bag of money in her arms to Cai Wentao: "Brother, after you leave, find a place to settle down and live a good life. If you need my help, call me. My mobile number will remain the same."

"Aya, maybe I don't need to leave..."

"Also," Shuya said hastily, "don't worry about your parents and Amin, I will take care of them, big brother, stop thinking about fighting with second brother..."

"Aya—" Cai Wentao was anxious, and suddenly raised his voice, "Listen to me!"

Shuya seemed to be frightened, her hasty words stopped abruptly, her eyes widened.

Cai Wentao eased his tone: "Aya, listen to what I have to say, maybe I don't need to leave, I..." Reluctant to leave you, he said something in his heart, he changed the subject, "Did Chu Jie come with you?" ?”

"Chu Jie will not interfere in your Cai family's internal affairs. The reason why he is willing to rescue you today is to fulfill the promise he made to me back then. It is only this one time."

"Aya, please give this to him for me," Cai Wentao climbed onto the bow, stretched out his hand and handed over a note, "After seeing it, he will naturally know what to do."

Shuya took the note in doubt, opened it and took a look. There was a long row of Arabic numerals and English letters interlaced on it. She couldn't understand the meaning. She looked up at Cai Wentao: "Is this something like a secret word?"

"Time is running out, you give it to Chu Jie first, and I will explain to you later, okay?"

Shuya stared at him without saying a word.

"I can't understand what's written on it," Cai Wentao reluctantly compromised, "When I ran for my life last night, I met a very important person. For some reason, she was put under house arrest. I don't know what happened between her and Chu Jie What kind of relationship, but she gave me this note and asked me to pass it to Chu Jie, and said that as long as Chu Jie saw the content on the note, he would definitely help her out of trouble, and after that, my All problems will be resolved.”

Shuya quietly crumpled the note paper and pinched it in the palm of her hand: "Why can it be solved in the face of toughness?"

Cai Wentao stared at her, was silent for a moment, and slowly lowered his eyes: "There is a very powerful force behind that person. Our Cai family was able to prosper because we relied on her father's support. She can use the resources in her hands to help me get rid of my grievances."

"Then, if I hand this piece of paper into Chu Jie's hands according to your wishes, what will happen to my second brother?" Shuya tightly squeezed the ball of paper in her hand.

Cai Wentao turned his eyes to look at the distant sea. In the vast night, there was an endless darkness.

"Big Brother," Shuya stared at him with her dark eyes, "What will happen to Second Brother?"

"I don't want to lie to you," Cai Wentao turned his head to face her, with a desperate expression on his face, "If one day I change places with Cai Junfeng, I will definitely leave him a way out, this is what I promised before However, Cai Junfeng was partly responsible for that person's trouble. If she was unwilling to let Cai Junfeng go, I would not be able to interfere with her behavior.

"Brother, I saved your life." Shuya paused, with a hesitant expression on her face, finally gritted her teeth, raised her hand to the sea, "You should pay it back to me now!" He let go of his hand, and the small ball of paper fell into the sea water in a straight line, and disappeared without a trace after a wave slapped it.
Cai Wentao's complexion was gray and pale, but he was surprisingly calm. Looking at the scene in front of him, he remained motionless, neither shocked nor angry.

The freighter whistled and set sail. "I'm sorry!" Shu Ya choked up, she couldn't watch Cai Wentao die wronged, but she also didn't want to bring bad luck to Cai Junfeng because she saved him, "Brother, I'm really sorry!"

"You don't need to say I'm sorry, I bullied Cai Junfeng before, and today's fate is my own fault." Cai Wentao smiled sadly, "But, have you ever thought that there is another person who has nowhere to ask for help because of you?" , she is always innocent."

The rain condensed into drops of water and dripped from her hair, rolling down her snow-white face like tears. The ship moved forward slowly, and Cai Wentao's figure gradually faded away. He heard her tired voice: "Brother, I believe in karma, and one day I will pay the price for what I have done, no matter what consequences I will suffer in the future, it will be my own fault, and I can’t blame anyone.”

The small freighter went faster and faster, and the faces of each other became more and more blurred. Shuya seemed to smile when she saw Cai Wentao. Finally, the bleak figure on the deck completely merged into the night.
