Chapter 7: The Way Home
"Forget it, brother, although this scumbag is innocent, I don't have the idea of killing!"
Gu Lin was first shocked when he saw the message sent by K, and then he was relieved, what is going on in the virtual online world, many of them are just talking for a while, there is no need to take it seriously, he took the topic over, all he was thinking about was Xue Fei, this matter started because of himself, as a man, the consequences should be borne by himself.
"Didi"
K sent another message.
"I'm not kidding you, we've been talking for so long, do you think I'm joking with you?"
When K mentioned it again, Gu Lin could read the serious tone between the lines, as if it was the kind of conversation between the employer and the killer.
"Hey, how do you know if you can succeed without experimenting with the murder method you designed? There's a great opportunity now, and you don't want to validate it? I want to try it. ”
"Are you right? Mr. Gu"
“???”
Gu Lin was startled, and suspiciously sent three question marks to K, he had never revealed his real name in the virtual world, his code name was G, and suddenly saw the three words "Mr. Gu" in the chat screen, and felt a chill down his spine.
"Are you right? Mr. G"
Another message was sent, and the "Mr. Gu" just now was withdrawn by K.
"Hey, look at my input method, it's too fast hahahaha" K explained casually, but this had to make Gu Lin wonder, what is the origin of this person?
"I don't have any thoughts about killing people." Gu Lin resolutely replied to K's proposal.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later."
Ended the chat with K, thinking that Xue Fei must be very sad now, made several phone calls, but no one answered them, and decided to go to the publishing house in person because he was unattended, and he took advantage of the fact that he was unattended to change into the clothes brought by Xue Fei, and quietly slipped out of the hospital.
There was a Maybach parked at the door of the publishing house, and there were many bodyguards around, Gu Lin knew that this was the manpower of Tong Wannian's family, along the way, the small staff of the former publishing house all cast an alternative look at him, and all kinds of discussions continued, Gu Lin was never afraid, he was talked about Jiang Lang's talent back then, fried cold rice, and he had to resist how much slander he bore as much praise as he bore, and the brightest star in the publishing industry also belonged to Gu Lin and Xuefei, but some people are still unaccustomed to it, people are slaves of jealousy.
"Yo Yo Yo, you're here."
This yin and yang weird tone, Gu Lin knew that it could never be sent by the president, at a glance, Tong Wannian was sitting on the president's chair, wearing a suit and leather shoes, the standard for successful people, the president who was once high-spirited, stood aside respectfully, and didn't even dare to breathe, Gu Lin knew that it was impossible to get out of the way this time.
Gu Lin made a preemptive move: "President, why do you want to remove Xue Fei, he can bring out two gold medal writers to the publishing house this month." ”
The president wanted to say goodbye, and his eyes kept glancing at Tong Wannian on the chair.
"I let Xue Fei rest, she has been in poor health recently, and I don't want him to work too hard." Tong Wannian stood up from the chair and turned to Gu Lin's side as he spoke, "But, then again, who are you, how can you manage it so widely?" ”
After saying that, Gu Lin was pushed down on the sofa in the president's office. Even if he was humiliated like this, Gu Lin still didn't have a seizure, holding back the anger in his heart.
"Oh, by the way, President Gao, didn't you have something else to report to me just now?" Tong Wannian pretended to be relaxed and turned his head away, looked at President Gao, and smiled maliciously.
President Gao was stunned at first, and suddenly reacted, but he was ashamed to say it, twisting and pinching, unable to stop Tong Wannian from staring at himself all the time, "That...... Gu Lin, I didn't say that I was going to publish your book...... but now because Mr. Tong recommended a writer, I ......"
"Why, didn't we say yes? Gu Lin is really annoyed now, he racked his brains for this book, the symbolism of this book has exceeded its actual meaning, this book is Gu Lin's guiding stone to break the nightmare and return to the literary world, and it is also an explanation he gave to Xue Fei, he was fascinated by the murderous methods in it, and thought about how to commit a perfect crime countless times, how to write about this writer in his pen, not only to write his downfall, but also to write about his loneliness, no one knows my loneliness. This book is like an infant child who "died early" because of his childhood.
"Oh, by the way, I'll show you other people's masterpieces, I never get tired of reading all that this writer writes."
Tong Wannian put a copy of "Rebirth: I Am the King Next Door" in front of Gu Lin.
"This kind of garbage can be published?"
"Hey, you can't say that, it's someone else's art." The president hurriedly came up to play the round
Seeing that the president who originally discussed his works seriously with him, now called this kind of thing a work of art, Gu Lin was furious, he could not publish his own book, but now he was actually reduced to this kind of thing to strengthen his own publishing quota, this is the biggest insult to a writer, Gu Lin felt that this was 10,000 times more uncomfortable than being beaten by the crowd.
Gu Lin threw off the door and left, leaving behind a triumphant Tong Wannian.
"Mr. Tong, look at the investment in this issue...... "It turns out that the publishing industry is not in a recession now, and Tong Wannian used this quarter's investment as a threat, making the president bow down to him, so as to hit Gu Lin.
"Okay, no problem, it's on me, it's just that this Gu Lin doesn't want him to publish any books in the future, you know."
"Yes, yes."
Gu Lin came out of the publishing house disheartened, thinking that his writing career that he had dedicated for many years had just improved but was ruined by the intrigues and tricks of others, and his love was also a love that could not see the light, the person he once admired extremely was now hugging and kissing him like a dream, the residual temperature of his lips was so real, but this forbidden love made him and Xue Fei fall into the abyss.
Gu Lin passed by a newsstand, and the headline of the city newspaper turned out to be "The rich young woman cheated on the writer" Gu Lin and Xue Fei's photo was on it, and the host on the LED screen of the city building broadcast this matter, in fact, the entire Tunkou City has now been uproared by the "derailment door" of the Tong family's daughter-in-law. Gu Lin bought a newspaper, and didn't forget to cover his face with his hands, for fear that the boss would recognize him.
Back home, Gu Lin hurriedly looked at the newspaper in his hand, the power of the media to reverse right and wrong, black and white is really terrible, just a photo of kissing, was written a suspenseful and bloody adulterer and adulteress cheating story, Gu Lin gritted his teeth fiercely, and tore the newspaper in his hand into pieces.
turned on the laptop, Gu Lin found K in "Masked".
"Hey, brother, here." This system has no way of knowing whether the other person is online or not, because the two parties to the conversation remain anonymous.
After a while, K replied
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, you know, brother, you're really slow to make this determination."
K seems to have calculated that Gu Lin will definitely take the initiative to find him.
"How did you know I was looking for you?" Gu Lin was still puzzled
"Looks like you might be in trouble lately."
"Who the hell are you?" Gu Lin is sure that this K must know his true identity, and Mr. Gu who sent it last time is the best proof that their encounter in the virtual world must not be accidental, but the connection between them is still quite mysterious.
"If you have a request from me, you'd better have a better attitude."
"Yes, that's right, Mr. K, it seems that you know me well, which means that my true identity has been revealed in front of you, why you can recognize who I am, I can't know, after all, I did expose my "masked" ID on the media, so, the one you said last time, do you still count? ”
"What? I don't remember exactly. ”
"This old fox, pretending to be confused in front of me." Gu Lin thought in his heart, but at this time, thinking about what happened to him and Xue Fei, he was angry.
"Use the method I designed, help me kill the young master of the Tong family!" Gu Lin had a showdown, he could no longer stand Tong Wannian, a scumbag, and wanted to get rid of him quickly.
"Okay."
Gu Lin didn't expect K to agree easily.
"And what can you do for me?"
"You say, didn't you have a plan in mind?"
"Help me kill someone, exchange killing, oops, it feels like a suspense novel."
"I need to see him die first." Gu Lin was still a little hesitant, for K, but also for his own murder methods.
"No problem." After K finished sending this message, there was no movement.
Gu Lin seemed to be experiencing a life-and-death negotiation, although he was only typing a few words on the computer, he was sweating profusely, he didn't know where this conversation would lead his future life, but he knew that his return journey with Xue Fei had been ruined by that disgusting man.
