Chapter 130: Gu Zuoyan's pocket watch
Because of my own speculation, I became angry and fearful. I looked at Shi Yizhi's handsome and innocent face, but I didn't know whether the soul behind it was good or evil. But after so much going through, I can hide my emotions perfectly. Before the truth comes out, as if nothing had ever happened.
I didn't face Shi Yizhi's problem directly, but obediently put my hand in the crook of his arm. I think that if an unknown passer-by saw the intimacy between the two of us at this time, they would inevitably think that our relationship was extraordinary. I subconsciously wanted to withdraw my hand, but I didn't expect to be pressed back by him: "Don't make a noise, there is someone behind." You just take me to the car, and don't let anyone knock out that there's something wrong with the two of us. ”
I was anxious and said angrily: "I never ask what you and Gu Zuoyan are doing, let alone interfere." But I never imagined that you would ruin such an important day for me so easily. So what's next? Do you have to pay for your business even for my wedding?! My face was expressionless, but my tone involuntarily increased: "I've played enough of this cat-and-mouse game, I don't want to investigate who kidnapped me and why they came to kidnap me, but it doesn't mean that I have never doubted Gu Zuoyan's relationship with this matter." I think you saved me back then, and now I will repay it, and I will not suffer a loss if I live for two more years. However, my family is innocent, and I don't want to be dragged into the water one day, in the same dangerous situation as I am. ”
Shi Yi asked in a voice that only me and he could hear, "Are you threatening me?" ”
I smiled slightly, but the curvature of the corners of my mouth was mocking: "Whatever you understand, my attitude couldn't be clearer." The path I have chosen is to grit my teeth and go on, but I also ask you to let my family go, they have nothing to do with your career, and naturally there is no need to pay for it. I just want them to live well, no sickness or disaster. ”
Shi Yizhi seemed to reply sincerely: "I can promise you, but my words must not be counted." In fact, in such a troubled world, no one can promise you. As long as the Japanese continue to roam the land of China, no one can guarantee that there will be no illness or disaster. As for our cause, if most of us continue to be as indifferent and indifferent as you, then the outcome of this war is doomed to have no chance of recovery. ”
I tightened the placket of my coat and told him in a serious and firm tone: "You are not the only ones who are willing to go to the soup for the sake of your family and country, you dare, I dare, there are thousands of ordinary people, they also think the same way in their hearts." Since it is for the common ideal to struggle, why bother to divide relatives and distance themselves. The enemy didn't even start to move, thinking about sacrificing the unimportant people first, leaving the important people, what is the difference between what you do and the enemy. ”
Shi Yizhi didn't answer my words, from getting in the car to getting off, he just told the driver the address of my home, and other than that, there was only an awkward silence. When I got out of the car, Shi Yizhi kept looking at me with his deep eyes, but in the end he wanted to stop talking. Knowing that I had entered the house, I suddenly felt a real uneasiness in my heart when I heard the car start outside the door. And until many years later, I kept asking myself. If I could have known what had happened, would I have rushed out to stop him at this moment? But there has never been an what ifs in this world, and this meeting, which was wrapped in silence, has become an eternal bond between me and Shi Yizhi.
For several days after that, Cao Yu'an and Shi Yizhi were completely unheard. I don't know if it's because of the previous kidnapping that reminded me to be scared for a few days, or because of the wedding photo shoot that was ruined, these days I am always in a trance, and there are inevitably mistakes in big and small things. The Nth time I made a mistake in dispensing chemicals, I finally decided to put down what I was doing and take a breath outside.
I stood by the window and looked out, the street was a little deserted, and the pedestrians were hurrying in heavy winter coats, as if some vicious monster was chasing them behind them. Out of the corner of my eye, I unconsciously skimmed a black Ford parked on the side of the road, and I couldn't see the license plate from this direction, but I was very sure that this car was Cao Yu'an's. And on the promenade not far from the car, a vendor was alone shaking a popcorn bucket in the cold wind. The corners of my eyes jumped involuntarily, and an ominous premonition surged in my heart, if my guess was right, the vendor decided that it was a spy sent by a certain party, and Cao Yu'an secretly filmed the spy in order to protect me.
But his position is not hidden, and if it really has any effect, it is more intimidation than actual effect. Cao Yu'an is now thriving in Shanghai, and all forces in black and white want to give him some face. His car was parked in front of my house, as if it was letting out the wind, this was his territory, and the people inside were protected by him. Even those small-minded people did not dare to act rashly after receiving this information.
I sighed often and hid myself in the shadows. Looking at the past from my point of view, the competition and secret battle between the strengths of the two sides seemed to be watching a silent show. This reminds me of a poem "You look at the scenery on the bridge, and the people under the bridge look at you." "In this cat-and-mouse fight, everyone thought they were the lucky ones at the top of the food chain, but the reality gave them the most painful blow.
Two days later, Cao Yu'an appeared in front of me. Without saying a word, he pulled out a pocket watch from his pocket and handed it to me. Although the pocket watch was damaged and deformed, and the mottled blood stains on it were still shocking after wiping, I recognized the unrecognizable pocket watch at a glance, and its owner was self-evident. An ominous premonition rose in my mind, and I looked at Cao Yu'an and asked tremblingly, "Is this ...... Could this be the table? ”
Although I asked this on my lips, I was both sure and resistant in my heart. Cao Yu'an was silent for a few seconds, and replied in a deep and healing voice: "Gu Zuoyan, we found this name on the back of the pocket watch. ”
His words unsurprisingly struck an explosive blow to my heart, and I looked at him in shock, and my whole body was covered with trembling. I asked him in disbelief: "How could it be, how could it be, I only met him the day before yesterday and he was fine." I ...... excitedly covered my face with my hands, thinking of the unhappiness of that day, and suddenly sadness came from it, and tears flowed uncontrollably from between my fingers.
