At about seven o'clock, Fang Jin stood in the magnificent lobby of the hotel. The front desk lady called and politely bowed: "No problem, Mr. Fang, please wait."

This hotel, which claims to meet the six-star standard for various facilities, is one of the industries that Gu Mingzong invested and served as a director. The purpose of investing in it was to launder money that year, so the unreasonable high price of the hotel made it luxurious and noble, and it was deserted. However, because of this, in recent years, the hotel has gradually become one of the local social communication centers. Gu Mingzong saw its huge social potential. Not only did it not withdraw, it also invested more, and continued to keep it within its own business empire.

Fang Jin stood in the lobby. Beyond the honey-colored marble floor tiles and the majestic floor-to-ceiling glass revolving doors, there was a huge lawn fountain, a garden swimming pool, and a high-speed bridge leading to the city center in the distance. Further away, the streets were filled with lights and traffic, and countless pedestrians came and went, as if it was another far and busy world.

Fang Jin was slightly stunned.

When those people see this magnificent hotel building, will they envy the residents who come and go and spend money like soil?

However, he is standing here now, and only envies the people in this world who have a home to go back when they are in the twilight - whether it is a high-rise building or a thatched cottage, or a thatched cottage, that at least is a place to go back.

"Assistant Fang," Wang Yu, the head of the security department, went downstairs in person, walked through the hall and behind Fang Jin: "Hello, please come with me."

Fang Jin followed him without saying a word, from the elevator inside the hotel to the fourth floor underground. When he left, he was a huge indoor underground wine cellar. The warm light of the ceiling was sprinkled on the rows of mahogany wine racks, but the air was slightly damp and cold.

Wang Yu made a gesture of invitation and then walked towards the bottom of the wine cellar first.

Fang Jin followed him, and suddenly saw a darker color on the side of his black suit due to humidity, which was not obvious under the golden-red light.

Whether it was the underground temperature or the psychological effect, Fang Jin stared at the dark cloth, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart.

"Here," Wang Yu stopped in front of a wooden door at the end and opened the door: "Please."

Fang Jin walked into the door and saw a wide room inside that was divided into two halves, separated by a soundproof glass wall in the middle. There were three armchairs placed on one of them. Gu Mingzong sat on one of them when he saw him come in, and asked casually: "Have you eaten?"

Fang Jin bowed his head to greet him and said, "No."

"Don't eat it first, be careful to spit it out later." Gu Mingzong pointed to the chair beside him: "Sit down."

Fang Jin sat down with his coat, looked up and saw that Chi Wanru was indeed sitting on the armchair on the other side.

Chi Wanru was dressed in exquisitely and perfectly dressed as usual, but her face looked very stiff. I don’t know if it was the effect of the light, but she looked a little gloomy from the side. Looking along her gaze, there was a bloody person on the ground on the other half of the room through the glass wall, with hands and feet bent at a strange angle. If her chest was not still slightly undulating, she wouldn’t be able to tell whether she was alive or dead.

At this time, two bodyguards on the opposite side pushed the door and grabbed the man's hand from left to right, dragging out a long blood mark and dragging the man out.

Immediately afterwards, two bodyguards came in with a man tied up and kicked him to the ground.

Fang Jin's face remained motionless, but his fingertips, holding the handrail, tightened slightly.

He has seen this familiar scene many times and knows exactly what will happen next.

"Wang Yu," Gu Mingzong said casually while using his mobile phone to swipe his emails: "Give me a background introduction."

Wang Yu said "yes" and turned to Fang Jin and said, "You were kidnapped before you went to study in Germany. Although you were rescued in time, the kidnappers fled. We have not given up pursuing the whereabouts of the kidnappers for so many years. Last week, we finally caught these two people in the Northeast and escorted them all the way back, but they were unwilling to tell the clues of the mastermind behind the scenes no matter what."

While speaking, a bodyguard pressed the kidnapper opposite the glass wall, and the other took out a sharp knife and pressed it directly on the kidnapper's legs.

"The interrogation just now has been abandoned," Wang Yu said with a blank expression: "So now I will interrogate the second one."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguard on the opposite side asked something, but the kidnapper gritted his teeth and refused to say it; the bodyguard didn't talk to him, and the next second he raised his sword and dug down his kneecap in an extremely accurate and ruthless manner!

“Ahhhh——”

The scream almost broke through the thick soundproof glass, and Chi Wanru's face turned pale in an instant!

Fang Jin opened his eyes.

——He knew what Jingmingzong meant.

The target of the kidnapping that year was actually not him, but Gu Yuan. It was just that by chance that day, Fang Jin got into the car. After being kidnapped, he was locked in an abandoned warehouse and hungry for six days. At that time, he really thought he was going to die.

He still remembered that he was extremely calm at that time. He crawled in the warehouse and found a piece of iron wire, slowly grinding the rope on his wrist, then used the wire as a mechanism to catch mice, pinching them to death, and drinking blood to maintain his strength. He grabbed insects to eat, drank the dirty water that seeped into the wall when it rained, used pain to force himself to stay awake, and tried every means to survive. Finally, he persisted until the sixth day, Gu Mingzong led his people to find the warehouse.

At that time, he was already in a semi-coma. Later, I heard that he was thin and lost his body at that time, like a skeleton covered with skin.

Fang Jin didn't know why his survival was so strong. When he was a child, he thought that a poor and unlucky person like him would have no hope even if he lived in the world. But when the threat of death really approached, he burst out with infinite courage and strong will, and he didn't even complain about the world every minute and a second, and he just tried his best to survive.

Even if you are an ant, you have the right to survive.

He later thought mockly that this might be the way for the weak to survive.

Later, Fang Jin realized that he took the blame for Gu Yuan, and he wanted to use his toes to get who the initiator was.

During that time, there was a rumor that the Gu family planned to let Chi Wanru officially enter, but Gu Mingzong did not take any action, which made Chi Wanru's patience finally worn out. In desperation, she only thought of a way to rely on her son to be noble, and the biggest obstacle was Gu Mingzong's eldest son Gu Yuan, the nominally serious official family member.

Under the huge temptation of power and wealth, she finally took the risk, but accidentally kidnapped Fang Jin and missed the only chance to kill someone to silence him. Afterwards, the kidnappers escaped. Gu Mingzong should have known in his heart that it was her who did it, but without ironclad evidence, no one could pull Gu Yang's biological mother off, so the matter of Chi Wanru entering the door was shelved forever indefinitely.

Fang Jin was in the hospital for more than a month before he fully recovered. He was sent to Germany to study soon after. It was not until the last time he accompanied Gu Yuan back to the main house that he saw this woman again.

Everything today is for Chi Wanru to see.

He is just a guest.

The bodyguard threw the bloody kneecap to the ground, turned around and pressed the kidnapper's other leg, gestured, and then stabbed it again.

"Stop...stop!" Chi Wanru suddenly stood up: "Stop!"

However, no one moved in the room, and even Wang Yu didn't raise his eyelids.

The bodyguard quickly cut out another bloody kneecap in a scream of Zhentian. This time he showed it to the glass wall, and the bloody minced meat fell down his hand. Chi Wanru vomited on the spot, and Wang Yu immediately brought the cup of water that had been prepared long ago and handed it over, saying respectfully: "Ms. Chi."

Chi Wanru swung him away, rushed over and opened the door, but the door of the room did not move at all.

"What do you want to do?" Chi Wanru collapsed and shouted: "What exactly should this matter be done?"

The room was quiet, with blood and screams blocked from the other side of the soundproof glass, as if it was a cruel pantomime that was so close to you.

As Mingzong's attitude was very relaxed, "Wang Yu."

Wang Yu lowered his head and said, "Yes."

"What should I do with my previous rules?"

Wang Yu said: "We can pry out skins and bones, cut out flesh and cramps, even dead people can pry out words from our mouths. The last one accidentally beat us was our mistake. If we don't know this one, we must ask the mastermind behind the scenes."

Gu Mingzong looked at Chi Wanru: "Did you hear it?"

Chi Wanru's makeup faded and her hair was scattered, and her chest was undulating, like a swan that was knocked into the mud. After a while, she suddenly turned her gaze to Fang Jin, but she saw the young man sitting in a high armchair, looking at the other side of the glass wall, his face as calm and cold as white jade carvings, and he could not see any emotion.

I don’t know if it was her illusion, but for a moment, she saw a little shadow of Gu Mingzong through Fang Jin’s side.

It was a similar dark aura that was exposed to the bone marrow for many years and thus emitted from the bone marrow.

"... So, what if I asked the behind-the-scenes commander?" Chi Wanru forced herself to raise her chin, but the tail voice was trembling with unconcealed trembling: "Torturing severely, torture, and torture, how could I know if the person who recognized it was the real murderer? Besides, so many years have passed, what if he recognized the real murderer?"

Gu Mingzong pondered for a moment and actually agreed: "It's right."

Then he turned to Fang Jin: "——Then the victim will decide, let's leave this kidnapper to you."

Chi Wanru suddenly looked at Fang Jin, and saw that his eyelashes drooped slightly on his side face, forming a narrow curve, and there was no trace of turbulence in his eyes.

The room was silent, and the kidnappers on the opposite side screamed, struggled, and their whole body twitched. Large swells of blood gathered on the ground into shocking puddles.

Fang Jin said lightly: "Supervisor Wang."

Wang Yu bent down.

"Kill him."

Chi Wanru's whole body was shocked, and she almost didn't believe that this was from Fang Jin's mouth.

However, Gu Mingzong smiled, as if nothing unexpected happened, nodded in the face of Wang Yu's gaze.

Wang Yu immediately issued an order to his subordinates next door with his headset, and Gu Mingzong stood up and patted the cuffs casually and said, "You don't need to watch this kind of thing, come up with me to have a meal." Then he turned to Chi Wanru and said, "You stay here and watch them get things done before leaving."

Chi Wanru leaned against the wall with her whole body weak, unable to say a word. She watched Fang Jin stand up expressionlessly, put the flesh and blood dripping on the ground behind her, and walked out of the room with Gu Mingzong.

After leaving the wine cellar, I went to the lobby, and then took the full glass sightseeing elevator and went straight to the top floor of the hotel. It is the city's most famous rotating starry sky garden restaurant. Now that night is about to fall, the restaurant has opened the zenith, and through the glass layer, you can see the prosperous and dazzling night view of the city and the gorgeous stars above you.

The waiter had already prepared a candle-lit dining table near the floor-to-ceiling window, snow-white tablecloth and silver tableware, and a large cluster of fresh lilies in the flower basket. Not far away was the beautiful nocturne of the grand piano, and the air contained a trace of the mellow fragrance of red wine.

Gu Mingzong pointed to the bottle of wine and returned the lacquered gin wine list to the waiter: "Because I didn't expect that you were so quick just now, it was too late for the meal I asked them to prepare. I thought it would take another half an hour to be sluggish according to your personality."

Fang Jin said: "I just made the decision you made."

"Yo, when did you become so obedient?"

Fang Jin stared at the candlelight jumping in the middle of the dining table. His face seemed to emit soft light in the dim halo, but his eyes seemed to condense a layer of thin ice.

"There is no way to keep everyone alive." He said softly, "People have to make choices."

A few moments of time, the waiter came over and poured a light layer of red wine into the goblets in front of them. Under the candlelight, the wine was like a dazzling ruby, flowing in Fang Jin's eyes, with a beautiful light and shadow that could not be seen.

"Mr. Gu," he finally raised his eyes and looked directly at Gu Mingzong and said, "I have something I want to ask you."

Gu Mingzong was staring at him at the other end of the dining table, but now facing his gaze, a very insignificant smile suddenly appeared.

——The smile is hard to describe, as if it is a little sigh, a little encouragement, and as if it is seen something really interesting.

He looked at Fang Jin with such an intriguing gaze for a moment before nodding with a smile and said, "Ask."

The piano sound was still graceful, and the lilies radiated a quiet fragrance. Not far away, the waiter was wearing a vest and a flower, carrying a high silver dining plate.

"—You said back then that I have a chance to regret it in this life."
