This noodle shop is very old, the sign is so badly faded that I can't see the name of the noodle shop anymore, but the business of the noodle shop is very good, and it is overcrowded and full, so it is not difficult to see how the noodles taste at this noodle restaurant.

I remember that many years ago, Applejack used to come to this noodle shop, when the noodle shop was still very new and the business was not as good as it is now. Now how many years have passed, the authentic beef noodles of the noodle restaurant have become famous in the vicinity, whether it is locals or migrant workers, they often come here to eat noodles, especially in this cold day, eating a bowl of hot beef noodles, the whole body is warm.

Gu Jiajie took Ajie and waited at the door for a while, and only after a table of guests left, they found a place to sit down, during which Gu Jiajie still didn't say a word.

After sitting down, Gu Jiajie asked for a bowl of beef noodles, and then wiped the residue on the table with a paper towel by himself, the waiter was too busy, and he didn't plan to trouble the waiter to come over and clean it.

Ajie sat down opposite Gu Jiajie, looked at Gu Jiajie, and asked aloud, "Brother Jie, why did you suddenly come here?"

Gu Jiajie was looking down and wiping the table seriously, and when he heard Applejack's question, he raised his eyelids and looked at Applejack with a complicated look.

Ajie felt that something must be wrong with Gu Jiajie, so she asked again, "What's wrong?"

Gu Jiajie threw the tissue in his hand into the trash, put his arms on the table, dragged his chin to look at Ajie, and said, "Do you remember this noodle restaurant?"

"I remember. Applejack nodded and said, "When I was poor, I often came here to eat noodles, because the noodles here are cheap, delicious, and filling, and you can't finish a bowl, and you can take them home." ”

There was the fragrance of noodles wafting in the house, Gu Jiajie sniffed his nose, and said with emotion: "Yes, the noodles here are cheap and delicious." ”

A long time ago, Gu Jiajie often came here to eat noodles, at that time he was still a vendor, every time after the stall was closed, when he passed by here, he would come in to eat a bowl of beef noodles. At that time, when Gu Jiajie ate noodles, he would always bring a lunch box, and if the noodles were not finished, he would pour them into the lunch box and take them back, and then continue to eat them after getting up the next day.

"We were all poor, and the poor could only come here to eat beef noodles, and one bowl was divided into two meals, so we wanted to save more money for one meal. Gu Jiajie shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Then I will be twenty-three years old, you will be fourteen years old, we met in this noodle restaurant, remember?"

Applejack's expression was stunned, and then she was embarrassed, "Remember, how can you not remember, I also ate half a bowl of noodles from you, haha, why did Brother Jie suddenly talk about this." ”

Applejack kept touching the tip of his nose with his hand, and Gu Jiajie remembered that when he first met Applejack, he kept touching the tip of his nose because he was nervous.

The waiter brought the beef noodles, and the large porcelain bowl was full of beef noodles, with two thin slices of beef on top and a handful of chopped green onions, which was fragrant.

Gu Jia said in a loud voice and the waiter, "Could you please bring two small bowls?"

The waiter nodded in agreement, and after a while, he took two small bowls and sent them over, one in front of Gu Jiajie and the other in front of Ajie. Waiters often encounter this kind of thing, two people come to eat noodles, only one bowl of noodles, and then two people eat a bowl of noodles together.

"Eat noodles. Gu Jiajie sat up straight, shrugged his shoulders, picked up Applejack's small bowl, and helped him take out a small bowl from the big bowl first, and then filled a small bowl himself.

Applejack picked up her chopsticks, looked at the noodles in the small bowl in front of her, and picked up a few noodles and put them in her mouth, looking uncomfortable.

Gu Jiajie on the other side ate happily, raised his eyes to look at Ajie, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Applejack then gulps down, trying to make herself look relaxed and not let others see her nervousness.

The noodle shop was noisy, and the people eating noodles came and went, and it was not until night completely fell that the crowd dispersed one after another, gradually decreasing, and the bowl of noodles on Gu Jiajie and Ajie's table was not finished until this time.

Gu Jiajie looked at the noodle restaurant that was no longer empty, the waiter and the chef had already started to clean up in the back kitchen, his eyes fell on Applejack, and saw Applejack sitting there slightly cramped.

"Applejack. Gu Jiajie took out a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth.

When Ajie heard Gu Jiajie call herself, she responded, "Well, what's wrong, Brother Jie." ”

Gu Jiajie flicked the tissue that wiped the corner of his mouth into the trash can, then looked at Ajie and said, "I remember when I was twenty-three years old, I was still setting up a stall, and once I came to eat noodles at the stall, and I saw a little boy standing cramped at the door, constantly wiping the tip of his nose. ”

Ajie laughed, he knew that the little boy Gu Jiajie was talking about was himself.

Gu Jiajie continued, "I remember that it was already dark that day, and it was still raining, and in the autumn season, the little boy was wearing a thin shirt, shivering from the cold, standing at the door and not daring to come in. I asked for a big bowl of noodles for myself, and I couldn't finish it and was going to pack it back, and I wanted to wait until it was hot the next morning before continuing to eat, but I saw that the little boy was pitiful, so I asked him to come in and eat it together. ”

"At first the little guy was embarrassed, but in the end I pulled him in, and I asked the boss for a small bowl and served him a bowl. ”

"I asked him if he had no money to eat, and he said that he had run out of money and that there was no factory to employ him, so he couldn't make any money, so he had to go hungry. That day, this little guy was hungry, he ate half of a big bowl of beef noodles, drank all the soup after eating, and finally timidly said to me, thank you, big brother. ”

"My Gu Jiajie is the only seedling in the family, and there are no uncles and brothers, so it was the first time I met someone who was willing to call me brother, and I was so happy at the time. Later, for several days, every time I went to eat noodles, I could meet this little boy, and every time he stood nervously at the door, constantly touching the tip of his nose, and then I pulled him in and gave him half of a bowl of noodles. ”

Gu Jiajie lit a cigarette and threw one to Applejack at the same time, and the two sat at the table and smoked. Gu Jiajie spit out a puff of cigarette and continued, "Later, I didn't think it was a way to go on like this, so I told the little boy to help me at my stall, I will take care of his food, but I don't have a salary." The little boy agreed, saying that as long as he could eat enough, there were more people in my stall, and for this reason, Sang Jun, who was adjacent to my stall at that time, laughed at me and said that I had money to hire people. ”

Applejack laughed and said, "Later, Sang Jun found out that the worker you hired had no salary, just food, but he was so greedy." ”

"yes. Gu Jiajie also smiled and said: "I remember once because of business competition, I was beaten, I was slapped with a brick on the head, fell to the ground and couldn't move, Sang Jun was so frightened that he hid far away, that little boy lay on me, blocked a lot of other people's beatings for me, the belt buckle hit him viciously on the neck, knocking off a piece of meat." ”

Gu Jiajie poked his head out, looked at Applejack and asked, "You still have a scar on your neck, right?"

Applejack raised her hand and touched her neck, nodding.

Gu Jiajie leaned back in his seat and continued: "Later, after many years, our business is getting better and better, and we are getting in touch with more and more, after competition again and again, the small vendor at the beginning, now he has become the chairman of the Gu Group, the boy who helped in the stall in order to eat, has also become the second-in-command of the Gu Group, our life is getting better and better, our house is getting bigger and bigger, and we have more and more cars." ”

"But I don't understand, how did we get farther and farther apart?" Gu Jiajie looked at Ajie with his eyes when he asked this.

Applejack's hand on her lap instantly clenched into a fist and said nervously, "Brother Jie, I don't understand. ”

Gu Jiajie's eyes showed anger, and he looked at Ajie with a gloomy face and said: "The night Qinghui was in the hospital, after you arrived at the place, you didn't go upstairs immediately, but pulled Mu Haisen downstairs to smoke, smoking one after another, I remember that you are not addicted to smoking, and you only smoke one pack a week, why did you suddenly become so addicted to cigarettes that day?"

The nervous Applejack's eyes dodged, after years of getting along, Gu Jiajie really knew him too well, and now Applejack has a ghost in his heart, which Gu Jiajie can see at a glance.

"Say, why kill Qinghui!" Gu Jiajie glared angrily.

"I didn't!" Applejack retorted, "I didn't want to kill the young master, it wasn't me." ”

"Not you?" Gu Jiajie slapped his palm on the table and said loudly: "Bring your mobile phone!"

Applejack was reluctant and covered his pocket, Gu Jiajie got up and leaned over, grabbed Applejack, and snatched his phone from his pocket. A masterpiece was about to be snatched back, but he was Gu Jiajie's opponent, and Gu Jiajie controlled it with one hand.

Then Gu Jiajie began to look through Ajie's mobile phone, flipped through the call records to the day of Gu Qinghui's accident, and found no suspicious phone numbers for a while, most of which were the contact information of some customers who had business dealings with Gu's Group.

Gu Jiajie was not at ease, so he went to check the text message box again, and after reading dozens of text messages, he didn't find anything wrong.

Applejack yelled, "Brother Jay, don't you believe me?"

Gu Jiajie frowned, looked at Ajie who was holding two wrists with one hand, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't have a ghost in your heart, why is the reaction so intense?"

Ajie was speechless, looking at Gu Jiajie in a daze, Gu Jiajie snorted coldly, lowered his head and looked at his phone again, he thought that there was an outbox in the text message box, and then he found the outbox and clicked in.

Sure enough, as Gu Jiajie guessed, there were a lot of sent text messages in the outbox that had not had time to be cleared, and Gu Jiajie read them one by one until he flipped through the several text messages sent on the day of Gu Qinghui's accident.

One of them was a text message sent at 7:55 p.m., which read, "VIP ward. ”

There was also a text message sent at 8:30 a.m., which read, "Withdraw. ”

Gu Jiajie's hand holding the phone was trembling, if he wanted to say that his questioning just now was speculation, then now he has seen ironclad evidence and confirmed the fact that Ajie has a ghost in his heart. Gu Jiajie was heartbroken and angry, and pulled Applejack out of the noodle shop with one hand, came to the car and threw Applejack into the car, and then sat on it himself.

Ajie's face turned pale, shivering in the passenger seat, looking at Gu Jiajie who was in the driver's seat, he lost his voice and said, "Brother Jie, you listen to my explanation." ”

"You explain a fart!" Gu Jiajie yelled at Ajie in the car, "The person you want to kill is my son! That's my own son! Ajie, according to his generation, he should call you uncle, how can you bear it!"

Applejack has burst into tears, not knowing if it's tears of self-blame and remorse, or tears of fear.

"Why! Why are you doing this!" Gu Jiajie asked again.

Applejack clasps her head in her hands and cries out.

"How do you know?" said Applejack, crying.

Gu Jiajie sneered, threw his phone to Applejack, and said, "Look for yourself." ”

Ajie picked up her phone and saw a text message in Gu Jiajie's text box, which was received on the night after Gu Qinghui's accident, so Ajie clicked on the text message, the text message was very long, and he watched it for a few minutes.

Gu Jiajie waited patiently for him to read it, he lit another cigarette, sat in the car and leaned on the seat, untying his tie with one hand, wanting to make himself more comfortable.

Applejack reads the text message, and the more she reads, the more frightened she becomes, and the tremor of her body is enough to see how shocked he is.

After reading the text message, Ajie threw the phone at Gu Jiajie and yelled, "You actually found someone to follow me and investigate me!"

Gu Jiajie squinted at it and sneered: "From the time you shot Wang Ping, I felt that something was wrong, you are usually very cautious, why are you so impulsive that time?" But I didn't take it to heart, some time ago Lao Zhang came over, I told Lao Zhang about it, Lao Zhang has encountered a lot of things in Yuding that there are thieves in the nest, he is very sensitive to these, and privately reminded me that I might as well find someone to investigate you, at first I thought Lao Zhang thought too much, but I didn't know if I didn't check, this check, I just knew, it turned out that you and Jiang Lei knew each other two years ago!"

Applejack yells again, "I'm all for you!"

"For me, for me, you are going to kill my son?" Gu Jiajie laughed angrily and said, "What's the matter? Xiaohui is about to graduate, are you afraid that he will enter the company and compete with you for the position of second-in-command?"

"No... It's not...," Applejack explained vaguely, "I don't care where the second-in-command is, I just want you to stay alive." ”

Gu Jiajie punched Ajie in the face and yelled, "Let's live well, but you go to find someone to kill my son!"

"I didn't plan to kill him!" Applejack yelled, "I just wanted to beat him to a serious injury and do a fake funeral where he was killed, so as to fool Jiang Lei." ”

"Then you give me a reason, why did you do this?" Gu Jiajie calmed down a little and asked.

Ajie wanted to speak and stopped, but still spoke: "Jiang Lei wants to kill you, I can only think of this way, originally I planned to make the young master fake his death first, and then concoct my sister-in-law in the same way, and finally after both of them were sent abroad by me, I will confess to you, but I didn't expect it to develop like this!"

Gu Jiajie grinned, looked at Ajie with disdain, shook his head slightly, and said, "Ajie, you really should learn how to lie!"

Applejack yells, "I didn't!"

Gu Jiajie ignored Applejack's roar, stepped over the gear lever with one hand, grabbed Applejack's neck, and asked with a sneer, "Say, how much did Liu Shiwu give you?"

Applejack, who was grabbed by the neck, shrunk her head, her eyes flashed for a moment, and the ghost said, "It's a lot, it's too much to spend." ”

Ajie suddenly stopped trembling, his mood calmed down, and he looked at Gu Jiajie and said, "Brother Jie, power can really change a person, I don't want to be the second in ten thousand years, I want to be the boss!"

"So you joined forces with Liu Shiwu, started with Qinghui, and then cannibalized my Gu family little by little, right?"

Applejack laughed miserably and said wistfully, "yes, you're right. ”

Gu Jiajie saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.

"Do you have any ulterior motives for colluding with Jiang Lei?" Gu Jiajie let go of Ajie's neck, and then asked, "I don't even know how you met." ”

Applejack straightened her clothes and said calmly, "He's a great man, and I adore him." ”

"Really?" Gu Jiajie said, "How great is it?"

"You don't understand. ”

Gu Jiajie didn't understand what it meant, but he didn't ask this question anymore, but asked about the killers on the motorcycles on the viaduct.

"Those killers on the viaduct are indeed Liu Shiwu's people, right?"

Applejack wanted to say she didn't know, but when she opened her mouth, she said, "yes..."

Gu Jiajie roared and smashed his fist on the dashboard, smashing the dashboard to pieces, and even the front windshield was cracked.

"It turns out that Jiang Lei and Liu Shiwu both want to kill my Gu family, am I too good-tempered, just use me as a soft persimmon? Jiang Lei really thinks that I don't dare to touch him in Hangzhou? The Liu Group also thinks that my Gu family doesn't dare to fight with him, right?" Gu Jiajie became more and more angry the more he spoke, and he didn't look at Ajie, he lowered his head and shouted: "Get out! You get out! I don't want to see you again! You leave here, never come back!"

Applejack shed tears, wiped them calmly, then opened the car door, looked back at Gu Jiajie one last time, and turned to leave.

——————

It is very cold in the streets at night, especially in the second half of the night, when the streets are deserted, the temperature is cold, and it is cold in the eyes.

Applejack walked alone down the windswept street, her face glazed and repeating over and over again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

There were several figures on the side of the road in front of them, who seemed to have been standing there for a long time, as if they were waiting for Applejack, who walked over to the people and stood in front of them in a daze.

Among these people, the first one is Jiang Lei, behind him is Wei Chengfeng, and there are four silent men.

"Succeeded?" Jiang Lei asked, looking at Applejack.

Ajmune nodded and said bitterly, "He is very sad because of my betrayal. ”

Jiang Lei smiled, put his arm around Ajie's shoulder, and said, "Throw all the pot to Liu Shiwu, right?"

"He also knew that you wanted to kill them. Applejack sighed.

"I don't understand, why did I have to send someone to kill Gu Qinghui in the hospital that night, didn't the four of them already do it?" Ajie looked at the four people behind Jiang Lei and asked again.

Jiang Lei touched his chin and said with a smile: "Since you have already done it, why do you still ask these now?" Do you think I don't know that you used an empty cartridge that night, and it is impossible for Kenben to be fatal?"

Applejack's eyes shrank and he hesitated, "You said you wouldn't kill their family of three." ”

Jiang Lei nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I just want Gu Jiajie to lose you, so I let you act at the most dangerous moment." ”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Lei patted the back of Applejack's head, and then magically pulled out an earthworm-like streamer from the back of Applejack's head.

"I don't kill them, but others do. Jiang Lei held the streamer in his hand, looked at Ajie and said with a smile: "Ordinary people have three souls and seven souls, you have three souls and eight souls in the past two years, today I will take away the one that interferes with your thinking, you are free." ”

Applejack's face quickly changed her emotions, nervous, frightened, sluggish, confused, disgusted, remorseful, unbearable, and so on.

Wei Chengfeng stabbed a knife into Ajie's chest from behind, and the knife cut a big hole horizontally, Jiang Lei didn't look at it, walked into the distance, and said as he walked: "Go what should go, stay what you should stay, everyone will die, sooner or later." Some people are dedicated to the rivers and lakes, some are dedicated to serving the country, and some are devoted to being loyal. ”

"Ajie, Ajie, you died on Yuzhong, and when he died, Gu Jiajie didn't know that you were all for his good. ”

"It's also your fault that you take him too seriously, that's why I was so easily controlled for two years. ”
