Chapter 42: The Game of Conspiracy
Qin Shaoyang waited in front of the printer, and the front page of the next issue of Global Magazine was being printed one by one, a full five pages, with the headline "A Game of Conspiracy - Famous Fashion Designer Liane Gets Caught in a Financial Dispute Scandal and Declares Bankruptcy."
Qin Shaoyang looked at the five pages again and again, and read them five times before sandwiching them in a bag, and he did not walk to the editor-in-chief's office as usual, but rushed out of the magazine directly.
Qin Shaoyang called a taxi and sat for about an hour before arriving at a community outside the outer ring of Shanghai.
It is said that it is a community, but it is just a few six-storey old houses that have been demolished, and the dilapidated ones are really not the same, there is not even a wall, and the forest is building, and it makes people feel panicked when they look at it during the day.
He walked to the front of a house closest to the inside of the community, and wanted to ring the doorbell, but found that there was not even a doorbell on the door, so he pushed down the iron door, and pushed it open with a squeak.
Qin Shaoyang walked up the stairs, and a musty smell mixed with the smell of urine rushed to his face, choking him and coughing again and again, is this her home now? Qin Shaoyang's heart tangled.
When he knew the news of Lian'an's bankruptcy, he couldn't sleep for a night in shock, without any warning in advance, and he had dinner with Lian'an a few days ago, and he also talked and laughed, nothing unusual.
He called Liane for days, but no one answered. In those days, he **** was anxious and barely sleeped, and then he simply asked for leave from the publishing house and went to various places where Lian might go, but there was no news of Lian after all.
When Li'an called him the day before yesterday, he thought it was a dream, and confirmed it several times before realizing that it was really Li'an.
He was supposed to see her immediately, but Liane made an unbelievable request to help her write an article.
Of course, he was reluctant, not because he was writing an article, but because he couldn't figure out why Liane wanted to write such an article. But Liane was very persistent. In the end, he had to write first, because only then would Liane tell him where she was now.
Walking to the house number displayed on the address, Qin Shaoyang reached out and knocked on the door.
"Here, wait a minute."
Qin Shaoyang heard Li'an's voice coming through the crack in the door. It turns out that this is really where she lives now.
After a few seconds, the door creaked open, revealing a smiling face.
"Here you are, go and sit inside."
Qin Shaoyang didn't expect Li'an to look so good, and she was still smiling. I was really taken aback again, and I felt a little relieved.
But as soon as he entered the room, his heart immediately tightened again than it had just been corrected.
This is a house of no more than 30 square meters, without even the most basic decoration, and it is shrouded in black holes and four cement walls, which is depressing.
There was only a small bed without a mattress and a pair of chairs and tables that looked crumbling and mottled, and there was nowhere to sit.
Lian sat down on the bed comfortably, and then asked Qin Shaoyang to sit down on the chair, "Although this chair is old, I wipe it every day." Very clean. ”
Qin Shaoyang wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything all of a sudden. He forcibly calmed down his feelings, and at this time he couldn't make Lian even more sad.
"Liane, in fact, I still have some acquaintances here, I think I can find a way to help you go abroad."
Qin Shaoyang thought for a long time, and finally opened his mouth, but Lian didn't answer his words, just said, "Shaoyang, did you bring the article?" ”
Qin Shaoyang looked at Li'an's appearance, and he didn't know what she thought. Besides, he has no special way to go abroad. can only work slowly on his own side, and wait for the definite result to tell her.
Qin Shaoyang took out the article from Wen Jiàn bag and handed it to Li'an: "Are you sure you want me to write this?" ”
"If you don't write, others will write, so it's better for you to write." Liane took the article and read it carefully, praising as she read it: "It's so good under this title." A game of conspiracy. Shaoyang is good at writing, and he writes well. ”
"But there are a lot of things in this that your dictation is really a bit too much, I don't believe you will be such a person, why do you slander yourself like this?"
"Slander?" Liane shook her head: "Sure enough, it's a good buddy." You know? In the eyes of his family, even the big villains who kill people and set fires are good people. ”
"Why do you say that about yourself?" Qin Shaoyang frowned.
Seeing Qin Shaoyang so serious, Li'an didn't want him to be too sad. So he comforted: "What outsiders say is an outsider's business, and I can't tell you the truth about many things now, I can only tell you that some people won't die if they don't see these reports, and they won't let me go."
"Who are these people? You're already like this, who wants to watch you fall into ruin? Sue me, what happened to you? Qin Shaoyang finally couldn't help but ask.
Liane smiled, "If I sue you now, I'm afraid even you will be implicated." Shaoyang, believe me, it's okay. ”
"Nothing? Are you okay with a house like this now? How do you sleep in such a bed every day? How the hell are you living now? Is there an income? What do you eat every day? How the hell are you living now? ”
Seeing that Qin Shaoyang was getting more and more anxious, Lian quickly pointed to the only thing on the table, a laptop, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are all kinds of ways to make money on the Internet, I'm so smart, are you still afraid that I will starve to death?" ”
"I'm relieved? I can't be reassured to see you like this. ”
"You know what? I meditate and practice yoga every day, and my friend went to India to sign up for a practice class before, which is about the same environment, and I enjoy it for free now, which is good. ”
"Friends? Which of your friends? Su Hualong? Li Fan? Or is it the same Lin Zicheng who has been with you for so many years? You're all like this, what about them? Qin Shaoyang was even more angry when he heard Li'an mention the word friend.
"Naturally, they're all there." Liane's eyes drifted up, and she slowly but firmly spit out a few words: "I believe." ”
"You believe? And only you believe it. Qin Shaoyang snorted heavily, and his anger poured out even more irrepressibly, is the matter of feelings so unreliable? As long as any of those people can stand up at this time, Lian will be in this situation?
"Shaoyang, promise me one thing, don't tell anyone about my whereabouts."
Qin Shaoyang nodded solemnly, no matter what, it is not a good thing for people to find Li'an now, it will only bring her endless trouble.
"Okay, isn't the sun out there today? It's been a long time since I've been in the sun, and you're here just in time, invite me to have a cup of coffee, and this time you're in for a treat. ”
Lian threw Qin Shaoyang's manuscript on the bed and jumped up.
Qin Shaoyang raised his eyes, and the sunlight outside the window just shone in on Li'an's body, making her crystal eyes seem to contain some kind of crystallization and shining with a moving light.
All he could do for her now was to take her for a cup of coffee. (To be continued.) )
