Xiahou Wu walked out of the study. His parents looked at him with a cautious look and asked, "Xiao Wu." What are you going to do? ”

"Nothing." Xiahou Wu waved his hand and strode out.

The husband and wife glanced at each other, and they both guessed the mind of their precious son.

"I should go to Zhao Chuan." His father said slowly.

"Alas. Silly son. His mother sighed. The face was full of emotion.

……

Knock knock.

Xiahou Wu slammed on the office door. The staff who passed by looked surprised. However, when they found out that it was Xiahou Wu who knocked on the door, they just smiled, but they didn't care. Nor does it obstruct.

After knocking for a long time, Zhao Chuan opened the door. With a smile on his face.

"Why didn't you answer your phone?" Xiahou Wu broke into the room with a familiar car, sat on the sofa panting, grabbed Zhao Chuan's teacup and took a big sip, and asked. "You didn't receive Lao Yan's text message?"

Zhao Chuan closed the door, paced opposite Xiahou Wu, and then sat down slowly. Pushing the fruit plate on the coffee table, he smiled and said, "Eat some fruit first." Something to say slowly. ”

Seeing this, Xiahou Wu almost jumped up angrily: "Zhao Chuan! What the do you mean? ”

Zhao Chuan saw that Xiahou Wu was angry, but he lit a cigarette with a flat expression. There is less easy-going in the past, but more dignified.

He took a deep puff of his cigarette and asked with a flat look in his eyes, "I don't mean anything." What about you? What do you mean? ”

"I mean, what are you going to do?" Xiahou Wu asked. Redness of both eyes.

"I have a meeting at noon. In the afternoon, I will accompany the leader on a business trip. I will be able to return to Beijing in a week. Zhao Chuan explained his itinerary for the coming week succinctly.

"That's it?" Xiahou Wu breathed heavily. Clench your fists.

"That's all." Zhao Chuan nodded.

"you!" Xiahou Wu punched Zhao Chuan in the face across the coffee table. Said angrily. "Lao Tzu misjudged you!"

With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Xiao Wu!"

Zhao Chuan, who was overflowing with blood from the corner of his mouth, grabbed Xiahou Wu and said calmly with his eyes: "Sit down." ”

"I don't have anything to say to you!" Xiahou Wu struggled to push Zhao Chuan away.

"But I have to tell you." Zhao Chuan said in a low voice. "Sit down."

Xiahou Wu was indignant and glared at Zhao Chuan viciously. But he finally sat down.

He and Zhao Chuan have known each other for many years. In addition to Yan Dengkui, Zhao Chuan is his best friend. Even, the two of them spent more time together than with Yan Dengkui.

"You're coming from home?" Zhao Chuan re-lit a cigarette. The one just now was beaten away by Xiahou Wu.

"Nonsense." Xiahou Wu said angrily.

"Your parents didn't stop you?" Zhao Chuan continued to ask. The speech is light.

"Nonsense." Xiahou Wu's eyes were red.

"Then do you know why they didn't stop you?" Zhao Chuan pursed his lips and said.

"Why?" Xiahou Wu asked rhetorically.

"Because they know you're going to come to me. And me. Won't let you mess around. Zhao Chuan said calmly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiahou Wu asked. "Is it a mess to stand up for your brother?"

When Zhao Chuan heard this, the corners of his lips hooked up with a sneer: "Do you have the ability to help him?" Do you know what level of contest this is? Do you think your relative who works in the Commission for Discipline Inspection can help him? Or are you going to spend money to smash the other person to death? How much money do you have? More than Lin Chaotian? ”

Xiahou Wu was questioned and calmed down a little: "But at least I won't die without help!" It's man-made! ”

"Death or not?" Zhao Chuan asked rhetorically. "Will he die? To Yan zhòng, he was at most shuanggui. Lost the inheritance of the Yan family. And this is already an established fact. Unless Master Yan makes a move. He doesn't make a move, and it doesn't make any sense for you and me to jump up and down. He made a move, and we didn't have any need to make a move. Will you calculate this account? ”

Xiahou Wu stared at Zhao Chuan in a daze, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Chuan, you are so cold-blooded!" ”

"Cold-blooded?" Zhao Chuan stared at him and asked rhetorically. "Xiao Wu. On the other hand, if it is you who are killed today. Will he help you? Don't be presumptuous, don't get carried away by reason. With what you know about him. Do you think he'll risk being pulled into the water and reach out to you? ”

Xiahou Wu sat on the sofa in a daze. I pondered for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, Xiahou Wu raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Chuan: "What about you?" Will you? Will it lend a hand? ”

"I'm not going to help him." Zhao Chuan shook his head lightly. "But I'll help you."

"You are such a hypocrite!" Xiahou Wu scoffed. "If it's me who has something to do right now, maybe he'll say the same thing to him, right?"

Zhao Chuan suddenly laughed weirdly, took a puff of cigarette and said, "Xiao Wu." We have been friends for so many years. When did you have a hard time, I wasn't the first to rush out? Do you remember the first time you failed your investment and you didn't dare to tell your family. Who helped you settle the matter? Do you know how hard it took me to recover the money you were scammed out of? At that time, what was Yan Dengkui doing? He's playing mahjong all night with a bunch of boys! A million bottoms! ”

Xiahou Wu was stunned.

Sitting on the couch with a blank face.

"Xiao Wu. I'm not asking you for credit. I just want to tell you that Yan Dengkui and we are not all the way. Even though we get along from time to time, we have a good relationship. But only for mutual support. He won't help you when disaster strikes. You don't have to help him either. And the most essential difference is that if you are in trouble, he has the ability to help you. But when he is in trouble, you are not in a position to help him. Zhao Chuan refilled a cigarette and squeezed out a reluctant smile on his face. Over the years, you and I have saddled him before and after the horse, running errands. You are a friendship, I am a profit. Mutually beneficial benefits. On weekdays, you treat him as a little brother and give him a lead. I don't say anything. I won't persuade you either. Because it doesn't hurt you much. But this time, even if you break off your friendship with me, I won't allow you to help him. You can't help him. He doesn't deserve to be given away. ”

Zhao Chuan snuffed out the cigarette and rubbed his somewhat stiff face. Seeing that Xiahou Wu was in a painful struggle. With a ruthless heart, he pursed his lips and said, "Why is Yu Fei willing to give Xiao Zheng cannon fodder?" How long have the two of them known each other? How smart is Yu Fei? How long have we known him? Why didn't I help him? Don't even want to have a symbolic meaning? Xiao Wu, in your eyes, am I really so cold-blooded? ”

Xiahou Wu opened his mouth with difficulty and looked at Zhao Chuan: "But I can't get past myself." ”

"If you have to go." Zhao Chuan said calmly. "I'll be with you."

Xiahou Wu's body trembled violently. The corners of his lips flashed with a bitter meaning: "Why? ”

"You're my brother." Zhao Chuan said word by word. "But he's not."
