Chapter 237: No Distractions
"Alright, it's not too early. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wan Guohou glanced at his watch and stood up, "Let T3 rest." β
T3 looked at Wan Guohou gratefully, "Master Hou, I will definitely resume work as soon as possible." β
Wan Guohou Wan'er smiled, "Don't worry, body first." With that, he waved his hand at the others, "Let's go, don't disturb the patient." β
When a group of people walked out of T3's room, Wan Guohou deliberately slowed down, "K1, you come with me." β
"What's the matter, Master Hou?" K1 leaned closer to Wan Guohou, "Tell me something?"
"Let's go to the cabin. β
The chalet is a special attraction in Wan Guohou's Long Island Locust Valley Mansion, located in the northeast corner of the mansion, away from the luxurious main house. Against the backdrop of the surrounding lush forests, it looks quiet and elegant, as if isolated from the world.
It was very cold on Long Island in February, but it was still much warmer than K1 at the moment. He never imagined that Wan Guohou would tell him such a sad story of revenge.
When the two walked into the cabin one after the other, the story of Wan Guohou was almost finished. He lit the lamp on the table, then walked over to a single couch next to the fireplace and sat down.
"Sit. Wan Guohou said.
The firewood was burning brightly, and the blazing fire made K1 a little dazed, and he silently sat down on the sofa opposite Wan Guohou.
"When I first rescued you, I knew you were a man with a story. K1 finally spoke in a low tone, "Later, you took me out of Myanmar, gave me a new identity, and at the same time began to meet people in various fields, I guessed that you were playing a big game of chess, but if you don't say it, I don't want to ask." β
"I've always wanted to find a chance to tell you. Wan Guohou smiled bitterly, "But there are some concerns." After all, this story is too heavy, and telling you is tantamount to giving you an extra layer of pressure. β
K1 shook his head, "You're thinking too much. No matter what others think of you, in my heart, you will always be the good guy who almost starved to death in order to save me! Your friend is my friend, and your enemy is my enemy. I didn't know your past before, I just listened to your orders and arrangements, and now that I know, I will do everything in my power to help you with all my might!"
Wan Guohou had an unusual smile on his faceβsincere, touching, and sad.
"K1, you've done a lot for me. β
"You've done more for me. K1 hurriedly said, "Maung Tun Chin and I both think so. β
Wan Guohou sighed softly, "I'm sorry I didn't take you with me when I went to Switzerland." On the one hand, it's because I need Z2 to use the disguise, and on the other hand, I can't bring too many people with me, otherwise it will arouse E1's suspicions. β
K1 grinned widely, "I was a little mindful at first, but then I thought, you might as well take the Z2, I can't stand the smearing and sticking on my face, and those fragrant cleansing oils, it's terrible." β
His words amused Wan Guohou.
"There's another reason, and that's that you're too kind, and if E1 is an enemy, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it. β
K1 puffed out his chest, "If he's really an enemy, I won't be soft." As he spoke, he clenched his fists and looked full of ambition.
"But he's not an insider. Wan Guohou restrained his smile, "I announced that E1 was an internal ghost in front of T3 tonight, and I just threw a smoke bomb. β
K1's face showed a little melancholy, "Master Hou, is there really something wrong with T3? β
"We don't have any evidence to prove that C4 is an internal ghost, and with C4's character, it is too easy to be suspected of being an internal ghost. So, after ruling it out, isn't the inner ghost T3?" Wan Guohou touched his beard, "I know that you have the deepest friendship with T3, so I will explain it to you." β
K1 stiffened his face, "Who has a deep friendship with that guy?
Wan Guohou smiled silently.
K1 scratched his head, "However, I only found out today that guy had a nail with him, and I can't tell it, he is quite thoughtful." β
Wan Guohou stared at the fire, "This story is half-true and half-false. β
"What do you mean?" K1's eyes widened.
"He must have killed the person who helped him fix the car by mistake, and the origin of the nail should also be true. Wan Guohou whispered, "But if you don't kill people for the sake of fleeing, you don't know." β
K1 frowned, "However, in early January 2015, when we rescued him, he was really hunted down, and if we didn't make a move, he might have died." β
Wan Guohou thought thoughtfully, "So I deliberately said that E1 was an inner ghost in front of him today, so as to see if he would have anything abnormal." β
K1 suddenly realized, "Understood, you say, what do you need me to do, how do you test him?"
Wan Guohou smiled, "You are honest, as always." β
K1 clenched his fists, and suddenly slowly let go, "Master Hou, after knowing your story, I suddenly understood why you wanted to stop me from communicating with Gao Xiangqi. β
Wan Guohou glanced at him, "You don't have to worry, I didn't intend to hurt Gao Xiangqi." β
K1 lowered his head, and after a long while, he said sullenly, "But if you want to take revenge on Gao Jin, it is impossible not to make Gao Xiangqi sad." β
Wan Guohou looked at the fireplace in silence, his distracted appearance made K1 can't bear to ask any more.
A few minutes later, Wan Guohou stood up. He walked over to a table, pulled open the drawer, and pulled out a small lockbox. After unlocking it, he pulled out a photo from the box.
Wan Guohou pinched the photo and looked at it for a while, then returned to the sofa and sat down, handing it to K1.
K1 looked in amazement at the photo, which was apparently taken many years agoβTao Baihe was very young, and there was a bit of roundness and tenderness on his cheeks. By Tao Baihe's side, there was a young boy whose eyes were squinted with a smile, he deliberately put his head on Tao Baihe's shoulder, and the upturned corners of his mouth were full of the sweetness of first love.
"I struggled to collect old photos, but unfortunately I could only find this one. Wan Guohou shrugged his shoulders, "This is Tao Baihe in 2002, when she was 22 years old. The people around her, you should be able to guess who it is. β
K1 returned the photo to Wan Guohou after reading the photo. "Master Hou, are you still ...... Like her?"
Wan Guohou stared at the photo for a few seconds, and suddenly raised his hand and threw the photo into the fireplace.
Bright flames happily devoured the photo, and the faces of women and men slowly disappeared.
K1 was dumbfounded, but couldn't say a word.
It was as if the air of the whole world had been sucked away by the fireplace, and the hut was almost suffocatingly quiet.
There was a "crackling" sound from the fireplace, which was the song of burning firewood.
"I've only seen this picture three times, and today is the third time. Wan Guohou laughed self-deprecatingly, "I didn't mean to lock it up on Long Island, I really forgot." β
K1 resisted the urge to sigh, he had never seen Wan Guohou like this.
Wan Guohou suddenly smiled, "Things are people, not everything." He unconsciously turned the ring in his hand, "When we were young, we felt like fate was blowing back and forth like the wind. After many years, we gradually understand that destiny is not the wind, but the land, no matter how you walk, it is in it. β
"I know what you mean. K1 whispered, "Whoever you are, you have to get revenge." β
"Revenge requires no distractions. Wan Guohou said lightly, "The love of children will interfere with my judgment and disturb my heartstrings." I won't ask you to be the same as me, but I want to plead you for one thing, don't embarrass yourself for the sake of Gao Xiangqi. β
K1's face slowly turned red, "Master Hou, I didn't pat her." β
Wan Guohou blinked, with a hint of clarity in his eyes. "Love is unreasonable, and I won't blame you for being moved. β
K1 instinctively tried to argue, but he chose to remain silent. He knew in his heart that Wan Guohou's revenge would not stop because of Gao Xiangqi's appearance, and the only thing he could do was to restrain his feelings.
"Don't talk about that. Wan Guohou said, "During this time, you work harder, T3 is injured, and you have to worry about some things." β
"I understand. K1 said, "There shouldn't be anything wrong in the past two days, Nan Zeyu has a shoulder injury, so he probably rests in the house." β
Wan Guohou pondered for a moment, "Tao's surgery has already been completed, right?"
"It's done. K1 replied, "I asked, and in two days I should be able to remove the gauze." β
"Two days later......" Wan Guohou glanced at his watch, it was not yet twelve o'clock. "That's number 14. Okay, we can arrange a fun game that day. A mysterious smile appeared on Wan Guohou's face, "Call Z2, he knows what to do." β
"Yes. K1 agreed, "Master Hou, if there is nothing else, I'll go and rest." β
"Go ahead. Wan Guohou nodded, "I'll stay a little longer." β
When the Marquis of Wan Guo was the only one left in the cabin, he stared at the fire and fell into deep thought: the hatred of the years was like a burning fire, tirelessly churning in his heart. He was constantly tortured by his conscience, endured heart-rending pain, and his fate was like a heavy shackle on Prometheus, which could never be shaken off.
Two days later. In the morning, You Jinlan and Gao Xiangqi decided to go shopping, and Tao Baihe took Nan Zejiao to the hair salon to get her hair done.
Nan Zeyu's injured shoulder still ached, but he forgot about it for the time being, because Wan Guohou mysteriously said that he and Gao Jin would go to an absolutely wonderful place.
The group came to a mansion on Central Park West Road.
Gao Jin raised his head and looked at the building, "Master Hou, are you going to invite us to visit your other home?"
Wan Guohou bowed, "Believe me, this is more exciting than any home you have ever seen." β
Yueshu led the way in front and led a few people into the gate.
"By the way, I forgot to tell a few of them. Wan Guohou held up a finger, "To visit here, you have to change your clothes." β
Nan Zeyu and Gao Jin looked at each other.
"Don't worry, I have a full range of clothes here, and there must be something suitable for the two of you. Wan Guohou said, making a "please" gesture.
Ten minutes later, Nan Zeyu and Gao Jin, who had a new look, walked out of the locker room. Seeing each other's outfits, both couldn't help but laugh.
The two wore tight leather pants in a dark indigo blue, and the clothes were inlaid with lines made of fluorescent blue LCD tubes.
"Master Hou, what kind of sci-fi uniform is this?" Nan Zeyu looked at Wan Guohou who had changed into clothes, "Although I have to say that this is very interesting, I don't understand why I came here dressed like this." β
Wan Guohou grinned toothily and suddenly pressed a button on the wall.
The lights went out.
Then, in front of them, a door slowly opened, revealing an empty room.
The room was also pitch black, and Nan Zeyu and Gao Jin couldn't see anything.
Just when the two of them were surprised, faint blue lights lit up in all directions of the room, and several criss-crossing runways with blue LCD tubes appeared in front of everyone.
At the start of the track, there are six motorcycles in pitch black side by side, all with blue LCD tubes on their tires. The brilliant blue light looks dreamy and unreal in the huge black room where you can't see your fingers.
"Fuck!" Nan Zeyu couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "This is too exaggerated." After all, he couldn't help but want to get in the car, "Master Hou, is this something we want to play?"
"Yes. Wan Guohou smiled faintly, "This is a place where my people usually relax and relax, it is very large, the track is multi-layered, and it is not a problem to play for a few hours." β
"I know why I'm changing. Gao Jin laughed out loud, and he looked at Zeyu's back, where there were two numbers "01" composed of light tubes. "This is a racing suit, Master Hou, you have thought too carefully!"
"First of all, I want to tell you that there are props in the cars here. Wan Guohou walked to the side of a motorcycle, "You can warm up and try it in a while, some buttons can shoot lasers, and some buttons can release darts, all of which are used to attack opponents." The car is monitored by a computer throughout the race, and points are scored based on speed, attack, and being attacked. β
Yue Shuluo stepped forward, and Nan Zeyu realized that she had also changed into a racing suit. This was the first time he saw Yue Shuluo wearing clothes other than a cheongsam, and he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Manager Yue, if you put on your pants, I won't know you." β
Yue Shuluo smiled generously, "Director Nan, don't you only know women who don't wear clothes?" As she spoke, she handed the two helmets to Nan Zeyu and Gao Jin respectively.
"There are turnstile doors in the three corners of the room, which you can go there if you want to pause or rest. However, in order to ensure the atmosphere, the inside of the turnstile is also fluorescent, and the light is not too good. β
"It doesn't matter. Gao Jin put on his helmet, "Master Hou, wait and see who kills the deer." β
Wan Guohou smiled slightly, "In addition to the three of us, Moon Manager, Crazy Heart, and P2 will also participate in the competition. If you don't find it exciting, I can call a few more people. β
"That's good. Nan Zeyu also put on a helmet, "I haven't raced for many years." He thought to himself: the last time he was racing was in Tokyo in 2001.
"Well, then, everyone, let's go. After Wan Guohou finished speaking, he glanced at his watch.
