Chapter 18

The uncontrolled sense of crisis made Zhao Mingze feel uneasy for the first time. He looked at Lu Sui with extremely cold eyes, and his voice was gloomy and hoarse: "You can't talk nonsense."

But how could Lu Sui be threatened by Zhao Mingze at this moment? He thought of the things he had done, and wished he could kill himself and Zhao Mingze. He would not allow anyone to cheat and hurt his brother again!

Lu Sui's eyes were fierce, and he sneered: "Am I talking nonsense, don't you understand?"

After finishing speaking, he waved Zhao Mingze's hand, took a deep breath, turned to Lin Ziran and said, "Brother, you really can't trust this person! Do you still remember the day when I came to you and told you that I would not let Wen Yu go?" What happened? After I left, he offered to cooperate with me to deal with Wen Yu..."

He felt guilty and painful when he said this, lest Lin Ziran would not believe it, he continued to grit his teeth and said, "Although I wanted to attack Wen Yu, if I didn't have him secretly helping the flames, how could it be possible for me alone in such a short period of time?" The intrusive Wen Yu is almost desperate? It's just that I know he's in the dark, by the way... There's one more thing you definitely don't know, the photo of me meeting Wen Yu in private back then was also sent to you by him!"

Lin Ziran's expression was shocked, I know all these things... The question, why did you tell me everything so suddenly? !

Don't give me any buffer time.

Lin Ziran suddenly felt a headache, as if he and Zhao Mingze were playing chess, and the two of them were fighting against each other... Lu Sui rushed over and threw the table over.

He looked at Zhao Mingze, then at Lu Sui, his expression was very complicated...

Before he could figure out how to respond, Lu Sui spoke again.

Lu Sui looked at Lin Ziran with grief and self-blame, and said, "This person has been lying to you and plotting against you, and Wen Yu is the one who really loves you."

This sentence was like the straw that broke the camel's back.

Lin Ziran finally couldn't hold back the sadness in his heart, his eyes were slightly red.

Now that even the protagonist Gong has come to match the protagonist Shou and himself as cannon fodder, is my mission really so bad... Can you still let me be a miserable second male quietly? !

What about the ruthless and unjust slag Gong Shou? You are forcing me to go nowhere!

Seeing Lin Ziran's grief, Lu Sui blamed himself even more. If it wasn't for what he and Zhao Mingze did, how could his brother have the heart to break up with Wen Yu? The reason why he loves Wen Yu so much is because he doesn't want to see Wen Yu leave because of his injury...

Lu Sui's voice was hoarse: "I'm sorry, I..."

His voice choked and he could barely speak.

Zhao Mingze has been silent ever since Lu Sui said those words just now, and his whole body is covered with a heavy breath...He just watched Lin Ziran's expression change from shock and surprise to sadness and disappointment...the blood on his body seemed to be dripping Cool down.

The reason why Lu Sui did this is no longer important.

The important thing is that Lin Ziran will no longer trust him.

And this time, I'm afraid I don't even have the qualifications to be his friend...

"Lu Zhen..." Zhao Mingze opened his lips slightly and made a restrained voice. He fixedly looked at the person in front of him.

Would you forgive me if I said I did this... just because I love you?

However, Lu Sui was always paying attention to Zhao Mingze. When he heard this, he clenched his fists violently and said word by word with red eyes, "Brother, you can't believe anything he says!"

Lin Ziran raised his hand and pressed his forehead. After a while, he raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Mingze with cold and disappointed eyes. Since Lu Sui had made the matter clear, it was naturally impossible for him to continue to be with Zhao Mingze.

As for Lu Sui... Lin Ziran felt his head hurt even more.

He didn't want to see either of them.

"I'm tired today, you all go." Lin Ziran said coldly.

Lu Sui's expression became more and more sad, his face was pale and slumped, and his whole body was almost covered with despair visible to the naked eye.

Zhao Mingze still stood upright, and his eyes fell on him without blinking, except for those dark eyes that were as dark as an abyss, as if they were engulfed in the tranquility before the storm, they were breathtaking, with a hint of paranoia.

This is not going to go.

Lin Ziran sighed, turned around and went straight into the house without even looking at the two of them.

Zhao Mingze stared at his back and was about to chase after him, but as soon as he lifted his footsteps, Lu Sui suddenly stopped in front of him.

Unlike when facing Lin Ziran, facing Zhao Mingze, Lu Sui's eyes were as fierce as a wolf's, and his voice was full of warning: "You'd better leave now."

And when Lu Sui stopped Zhao Mingze, Lin Ziran took advantage of the mechanism to close the door and shut the two of them out together!

Thick doors cut off the space.

Zhao Mingze withdrew his gaze, looked at Lu Sui with a chill in his eyes, and raised the corners of his lips coolly: "It seems that Lu Zhen doesn't want to forgive you either, do you want to go with me?"

Lu Sui's fists were clenched.

Zhao Mingze turned around suddenly.

He left without looking back.

Lu Suizhi saw Zhao Mingze leaving, and then slowly turned his head to look at the closed door with a lonely expression.

………………

Lin Ziran rushed into the house and closed the door. Considering that Lu Sui might have the key, he locked the door completely! Only then did he lean his back against the wall and let out a breath. It was very dangerous. Fortunately, the two of them had internal strife, otherwise it would be difficult to escape today...

He had to think hard about what to do.

Lin Ziran called out the light curtain. He hadn't read the script carefully for a long time. When something like this happened, it was rare for him to read it again carefully, not missing any details.

Just like when I first came here, I suspected that Lu's father's behavior seemed too indifferent. Lu Sui was just a child at that time, why did he treat him like that? At that time, I even had other thoughts... Now it seems that Lu's father actually loves Lu Sui very much, otherwise there is no need to hide the truth for Lu Sui, but he should also love his eldest son very much, and his kindness to Lu Zhen in the future should be the same Out of guilt and the psychology of making up, it's just that he didn't handle the relationship between the two brothers well, which led to a gap between the brothers in the end.

This is the past.

The only thing that can't be justified is why does Lu Zhen feel guilty towards Lu Sui? It seems that Lu Sui's mother really died because of him.

Could it be something else?

Lin Ziran shook his head in distress, Lu Sui must have come here only after a 100% investigation... Then what link went wrong?

At this time, he suddenly regretted that he didn't have Lu Zhen's memory, otherwise he should be able to figure out the reason.

Lin Ziran stayed up all night to revisit the script. It was already three o'clock in the morning after finishing it, and he fell asleep on the bed without changing his clothes.

Waking up in a daze the next day, I was about to get something to eat for myself. When I saw the refrigerator was empty, I remembered that I didn't hoard food because I was on vacation.

I still have to go out...

Lin Ziran came to the door slowly, because he had the painful experience of being thrown down by Zhao Mingze last time, he first carefully observed the cat's eyes, um... Zhao Mingze and Lu Sui were not at the door.

Still worried, he turned on the security camera at home, looked back and forth, and made sure that there was really no one hiding nearby, so he went out with a sigh of relief.

But you can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day.

When I got home, I saw Lu Sui standing at the door again.

Today, Lu Sui seems to have calmed down a lot. He is wearing a black suit, his beard has finally been shaved, and his face is still stern and upright, but his expression is no longer as ostentatious as before. He is a little too silent, standing there silently with a file bag in between. .

Lin Ziran: ...

Forget it, escaping is not the solution to the problem. As an excellent player, when you encounter difficulties, you must face them!

Lu Suiding looked at Lin Ziran, his jaw tensed, and his eyes were a little apprehensive, probably afraid that Lin Ziran would drive him away again, and his hand holding the file bag turned white until his knuckles turned white.

Lin Ziran paused, seemingly helpless, and finally sighed: "Come in."

Lu Sui suddenly raised his eyes, showing a look of surprise, he didn't expect that Lin Ziran would allow him to come in, and quickly followed Lin Ziran's footsteps into the house.

He took a deep breath, handed the file bag to Lin Ziran, and said guiltily: "This is the company's shares. I can't take your things, so I return them to you."

Lu Sui looked at Lin Ziran seriously. These were originally left to his brother by his father. He was just an illegitimate child, and his mother made such an unforgivable mistake, so he was not qualified to inherit these things.

Seeing the sent things come back after a circle, Lin Ziran felt very toothache.

Dad, I finally paved the way for you and gave you the company, but now you want to return it to me intact. Do you think Dad, I will continue to work overtime until I get bald? dream!

Lin Ziran waved his hand coldly, "No need, I will not take back what I gave you."

Lu Sui stared at Lin Ziran in a daze, and his heart felt sad again. Brother really refused to forgive him...

The tall man lowered his head, without any of the arrogance of the past, and his breath was low, like a homeless stray dog.

Lin Ziran's heart was as cold as iron. If you want to say something else, I can think about it, but if you want me to go back to work, don't even think about it! He said lightly: "I don't care how you know, and I don't care what you think. If you really want me to forgive you, don't appear in front of me again."

Lu Sui's eyes turned red again in an instant, but he refused to move a step.

Seeing his paranoid appearance, Lin Ziran knew that he might not be able to let it go. Okay, if you don't go, I can always go, right? Doesn't it mean that my dignified president has nowhere else to go but here?

Lin Ziran turned around and was about to leave.

Lu Sui suddenly grabbed Lin Ziran's wrist, his lonely eyes were full of despair, his lips moved slightly, and he made a hoarse begging voice: "Brother...don't go..."

There was no light in his pitch-black eyes, only heavy sadness, Lin Ziran fell into those eyes, suddenly felt dizzy in his head, and staggered.

[Ding, the hidden plot "Lu Zhen's Secret" is loading——]

In a dark room without windows, the boy's hands and feet were tied up with tape, his eyes were covered with a black cloth and he couldn't see anything, and his mouth couldn't make any sound. He could only hear the dripping of water. He curled up to avoid Cold water dripped into his neck, the surrounding air was damp and cold, and hunger burned his stomach, he could no longer tell how long he had been here, but he couldn't give up... He used his weak With all the strength, he rubbed his bound hands against the wall behind him, trying to break the tape, even though his hands were already dripping with blood, it didn't matter.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

He had to escape from here as soon as possible. Aunt Xu came to pick him up from school and was kidnapped together. Not only did he have to go back alive, but he had to bring Aunt Xu back with him, otherwise Lu Sui would be very sad...

Tap, tap, tap.

The sound of shoes stepping on the concrete floor sounded.

Lu Zhen stopped suddenly, and soon the door was opened, he was roughly pulled out, and fell on the cold concrete floor.

That person should be standing right in front of him.

Fear is like ants densely crawling in his veins. He is very scared, but he still tries his best to keep calm. Panicking at this time will only make him more dangerous.

He said slowly: "I know you just want money, my father will give you the money, you will be fine with the money, but if you kill us, father will not let you go."

After saying this, he held his breath nervously, even if he pretended to be calm and calm, he was only fifteen years old.

There was silence ahead, no one answered him... and the silence was the most terrible torture for him.

Just when Lu Zhen was almost feeling desperate, he heard a chuckle, which was so familiar to him that his brain froze for a while, wondering if he had an auditory hallucination... Then he realized that he might be Can't go back alive.

The laughter belongs to Xu Lanna.

The one who came was not a kidnapper at all, but the stepmother he had always trusted and respected. Since she can appear here like this, it shows that everything is a conspiracy, and what she wants is not money, no... What she wants is not only money, but also Take your own life.

Because he decided to kill people to silence his mouth, he appeared in front of him unscrupulously.

The woman approached him and laughed mockingly: "Brat, do you think I'm willing to coax you all day long? I've seen you like this for a long time."

The woman's cold fingers pinched his chin, her nails dug into the flesh, and her voice was full of deep-seated hatred: "I'll be your father and son's cow and horse, and I'll accompany him to bed and cook for him. My son is okay, I treat you like a young master. I tried my best to please you, but that old thing didn't care about our mother and son at all. He always felt that it was his fault for cheating on that bitch when he was sick, so I want to give you all the shares in the company. What can we get if the company gives you all? It’s nothing more than a little cash, real estate securities, not enough! Not enough! I also gave birth to him a son! !

There is no way, I can only take the risk, as long as I kill you, he can only leave all the money to us, and I don't have to lie low in front of you all day. "

She said a lot more intermittently, nothing more than cursing and foul language, showing how much she actually hated him, and how disgusting and unbearable she felt in her heart when she pretended to be nice to him...

Lu Zhen was suddenly sad... When he had just lost his mother, when he was sad and lonely, this woman appeared in front of him, she was so gentle and beautiful, she tried her best to be good to him and made up for him. The lack of warmth, and that introverted and withdrawn child, his younger brother... always looked at him with admiration, and followed him obediently...

So, even though he knew his father had cheated, he still accepted the woman and the child, his father was the culprit, wasn't he?

Women and children are innocent.

At that time he thought he had a family again.

But it wasn't until this moment that he realized how naive he was, that he had no so-called family... This was just a deliberate deception. He foolishly gave his sincerity, and now he is about to pay the price for his stupidity with his life.

hate it? hatred.

Lu Zhen didn't beg for mercy anymore, he knew it was meaningless to beg for mercy.

The woman's frantic and hateful voice was like a knife rubbing against sandpaper.

Lu Zhen closed her eyes in the dark.

Just as he was about to kill him, the door was knocked open, and then there was a sound like a scuffle, and the man roared angrily: "You are fucking crazy, as long as the money is agreed, you can dare to kill Lu Jinwen's son!" kill!"

"Get out of the way, do you think that Lu Jinwen will let you go? I can get more money by killing him! How much do you want, is one or two hundred million enough?"

"Fuck, you lunatic, do you think his money is so easy to get? Do you think I will still believe your words? I will not continue to meddle in this matter!"

The man seems to be leaving.

Then there was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing into flesh.

"Then you go to die!"

"Ah—I'm going to kill you, you crazy woman!"

The sounds of screaming, cursing, and beating were intertwined...there was also the sound of a knife being stabbed into the body, and soon...it seemed that someone had fled here in a hurry, and the room returned to silence again.

who left?

who died

Lu Zhen's heart was beating violently.

"Cough, cough..." Accompanied by the sound of coughing and vomiting blood, the woman called for help weakly: "Help, help me..."

Lu Zhen immediately calmed down. It was Xu Lanna who was injured, and the man who left was the man.

This is your best chance of escaping.

He moved slowly on the ground, followed the sound of fighting just now, and finally touched the dagger that fell on the ground, cut the tape on his hand, and quickly pulled off the black cloth on his eyes. The dazzling light made him squint. Eye.

The woman was lying in front of him, less than one meter away from him, her makeup was all over, her hair was scattered, her abdomen and legs were stained red with blood, her body twitched slightly, her beautiful eyes were full of despair, She showed a flattering smile again, and said to him: "Xiao Zhen, please help me...it's Aunt Xu's fault, I won't do it anymore..."

But Lu Zhen didn't go over, he just looked at her coldly.

Seeing his indifference, the woman struggled to crawl towards him, the blood traced a hideous trace on the ground, she stretched out her hand tremblingly: "The phone is on the table, you...you make a call for me... call an ambulance, okay..."

Lu Zhen remained unmoved.

The flow of blood made her feel that death was approaching her, and her expression became ferocious because of fear: "Call me quickly, get someone to come, and save me! You can't just ignore death! I, I can go to jail, Yes...I can go to jail...you save me!"

"You little bastard, I should have killed you a long time ago!"

"I, I'm going to kill you..."

"Hey, you, you can't help but save me..."

"Xiao Zhen, I was wrong, please help me... Think about Lu Sui, he, he can always treat you as his own brother..."

"You and Lu Sui have such a good relationship, if he knows that you refuse to save me, he will...will not forgive you, your..."

The woman cries for a while, laughs for a while, is crazy, frightened, and desperate.

Lu Zhen just watched helplessly, seeing more and more blood under her body, gradually dyeing the ground red... Whenever the red color was about to approach him, he would take a step back gently to prevent the blood from staining him feet.

For the first time, his heart was filled with such dirty and ugly hatred and disgust. For the first time, he wanted to see a person die, and even admired her desperate pleading and dying struggle in front of him.

It wasn't until the woman was completely silent that Lu Zhen walked over calmly, tested the woman's breath with his fingers, and made sure that she couldn't die anymore, and finally called for help.

Lu Zhen was rescued.

He was sent back to Lu's house by the police, and the woman's body was sent for an autopsy. The cause of death was excessive blood loss. The kidnapper was quickly caught. In order to reduce his sentence, he voluntarily confessed his crime and admitted that the woman was killed by him. After the murder, he ran away because of fear, and did not check whether the woman died on the spot. In the end, the police told the man that the woman was not dead at the time and could have been saved if she reported to the police in time, but the fact had already happened, and the man was still imprisoned for kidnapping and manslaughter.

The matter was settled.

Only Lu Zhen knew a secret. He actually had a chance to save her.

Does this mean that he killed her?

After the end, his father came to visit him and told him that he hoped that he could keep the secret and not tell Lu Sui the truth. His father was worried that Lu Sui would not be able to bear such a double blow and accept such a cruel reality, and he did not want Lu Sui to live forever. In pain and self-blame... Lu Zhen agreed. He always thought that his father didn't care enough about Lu Sui, but it wasn't until this moment that he realized how much his father loved Lu Sui. Even if his mother made such a mistake, he still wanted to protect the child.

After Lu Zhen returned home, he kept avoiding Lu Sui because he suddenly found that he couldn't face Lu Sui.

Whenever he closed his eyes in the dead of night, the woman would stand in front of him covered in blood and ask him sternly: Why won't you save me? You killed me! Lu Sui won't forgive you, he will definitely avenge me!

He was awakened again and again, haunted by nightmares and unable to sleep at night.

It was the only thing he did against his conscience, but did he regret it? What if you do it all over again? Will he repay her with kindness and save her?

No, he doesn't regret it.

He didn't want to save her at all, he would hate, and he would be willful sometimes.

He just doesn't know how to face Lu Sui, Lu Sui is innocent, he doesn't know anything, he trusts himself so much...

But evasion is not a solution after all, one day he was blocked by Lu Sui.

The boy looked at him with sad and wronged eyes, and shouted: "Why have you been refusing to see me? Is it because you dare not see me?"

Lu Zhen looked at him without saying a word.

Seeing him like this, Lu Sui became even angrier, rushed over and pushed him hard, and said with wide eyes, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"

Lu Zhen staggered for a moment, but did not deny it.

Lu Sui cried, "Why don't you speak, why don't you deny it? I hate you, I hate you..."

Lu Zhen was speechless.

Lu Sui is still just a child, he must be at a loss and helpless by himself now, he needs his own care and comfort, but he can't accompany him like before...Because part of your pain now is caused by me.

In that cold and damp room, the indelible and terrifying memories followed him like a shadow.

I'm sorry I made you suffer like this.

The woman seemed to be standing beside him, laughing coldly and mockingly: You see, Lu Sui won't forgive you. You killed me, and it's all your fault. It would be great if you didn't exist!

Lu Zhen turned around and left.

Seeing him leaving, Lu Sui chased after him again, crying and saying, "Why do you want to leave, why, even you don't want me anymore..."

You are right, I don't want you anymore.

The next day, my father learned about it from his servant, and he went to tell Lu Sui not to be self-willed, but Lu Sui vented his pain regardless. He lost his mother, and his brother didn't want him anymore, so he started to make noise , He didn't know how to express, he only knew to blame his brother blindly. This made his father very angry and disappointed, so he decided to send Lu Sui to a boarding school.

He gave Lu Sui a life without worrying about food and clothing, but gave Lu Zhen his care and company.

Lu Zhen knew that this was his father's compensation for him.

Time flies, and a few years later, Lu Zhen will no longer think of this incident, and the woman will no longer appear in his dreams. In an accident, he saw Lu Sui again.

The former boy has grown up, but even if they meet, they just look at him indifferently.

Time and injury have created an irreparable rift between them, but Lu Zhen suddenly remembered the promise he had made. He once said that he would protect him forever. I'm sorry... I didn't leave you on purpose.

In fact, I have always cared about you.

Hope you can come back.

………………

Lin Ziran suddenly opened his mouth and breathed rapidly, his chest heaved unceasingly, Lu Zhen's memory passed through his mind like a revolving lantern, very quickly, but very deeply, as if he could feel the real fear , loss, self-blame, pain...

It all makes sense.

Lin Ziran turned his head slowly and looked at Lu Sui with a complicated expression.

Lu Sui didn't expect that Lin Ziran would suddenly faint just now, so he hugged him anxiously on the sofa, knelt down in front of Lin Ziran, looked at him with terrified eyes, held his hand tightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? I'm scared..."

Afraid that you would leave me again and leave me alone...

Lin Ziran sighed, this poor kid doesn't know anything.

He slowly and firmly withdrew his hand from Lu Sui's, looked sideways slightly, looked at him with a very calm look, and said, "Didn't you always want me to admit what you said? You know The original truth? Well, then I will tell you all the truth..."

Looking at Lin Ziran's eyes, Lu Sui suddenly felt uneasy, Nuonuo said: "Brother..."

Lin Ziran looked directly at him, and slowly said: "It is true that she joined the kidnappers to kidnap me back then, and was accidentally injured by the kidnappers because of internal strife...but she was not dead when the kidnappers left."

Lu Sui was a little dazed, not knowing why Lin Ziran said this, he said, "I know, she lost too much blood and died..."

"No, you don't know." Lin Ziran's voice was cold, looking into Lu Sui's eyes, and said word by word: "I was by her side at the time, she begged me to save her...but I didn't save her, but just watched Watching her die in front of me.

Because—I don't want to save her, I hate her, do you understand?

Later, every day and every night, I seemed to be able to see her standing in front of me covered in blood, asking me why I didn't save her.

And every time I see you, I think of her, see her accusing me by my side, think of the fear and pain she brought me, think of my concealment and deception from you, so I neglect you and alienate you... because at that time I have no way to face you. "

Lin Ziran looked at Lu Sui's pale face in shock, and let out a breath, but his voice was extremely indifferent: "This is all the truth you want to know.

Even so, do you still want my forgiveness? "
