Having learned a lesson, even if Chao Ci planned to go over and challenge Huo Yige this time, he had to make preparations in advance.

Two hours later, he took more than a dozen bodyguards to Yanshan Manor, and there were dozens of people hidden near Yanshan Manor. Once he did not come out of Yanshan Manor after an hour, these people would come directly to Yanshan Manor.

Breaking in, he also had a listening device on him.

He needed to do this without telling Zhao Yi, so he couldn't make a big deal about it. He borrowed these men from his security friends. These men are all retired special forces and are extremely skilled.

Before the group of them entered Yanshan Manor, they were stopped by the manor's security guards.

In the past, they would not stop Chao Ci when they saw him. However, this time there were two cars of people following Chao Ci, so of course they had to stop him.

"Master Chao, Master Huo only invited you." The security guard said to Chao Ci.

Chao Ci did not back down at all, and said bluntly: "Then you tell him, either these people come in with me, or we stop talking. Let's just leave it at that."

The security personnel looked a little embarrassed, but they still called the secretary next to Huo Yige and repeated Chao Ci's original words to him.

After about two minutes, the security personnel nodded to Chao Ci: "Master Huo agreed, he is at the main house, please."

A group of people drove into the manor's smooth and wide road. After arriving at the main house, Chao Ci got out of the car, followed by a group of people and walked in.

Huo Yige's housekeeper met him at the door and took him up to the second floor to the door of a chess room.

"Master Huo is inside, please," the steward said.

Chao Ci nodded, turned to the bodyguards and said, "Then you just wait here."

It's just a door away.

This chess room is not big, about thirty square meters, and the decoration is extremely retro. There is a chess table in the middle of the tatami made of pear wood. The guy changed into a dark red Tang suit today and is thinking thoughtfully.

Play against yourself.

The dark red Tang suit is only worn by rich men in their sixties in TV dramas. It is obviously a kind of clothing that looks older, but when worn on Huo Yige, it makes people feel that it is cutting-edge.

He is as trendy as ever. The dark red material makes his fair skin even more beautiful, and his appearance is almost enchanting.

Speaking of which, Huo Yige's hobbies and aesthetics in all aspects are indeed close to those of the elderly. Not only does he like to wear the clothes that the elderly like to wear, but his hobbies are also basically close to those of the elderly. Every time he comes, he either plays chess or makes tea.

, he often plays with a string of agarwood beads in his hand... Fortunately, he doesn't like Tai Chi.

"Sit." Huo Yige raised his hand slightly and pointed to the position in front of him.

Chao Ci sat down calmly, and Huo Yige placed the plate with Bai Zi in front of him: "How about a game?"

"No, let's get down to business." Chao Ci was too lazy to talk to Huo Yige about all this.

Huo Yige didn't persist either. He put down the sunspot in his hand, leaned his back slightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you here to intercede with that boy Zhao Yi and persuade me to stop?"

"It's not about interceding." Chao Ci lowered his eyes and played with the cold chess pieces in front of him carelessly, "I just want to tell you something."

"Do you know why I went to Country D with Tan Lie before?" Chao Ci rubbed the smooth polished surface of the chess pieces with his fingertips.

In vain, a not-so-good premonition arose in Huo Yige's heart.

Why would he go to Country D with Tan Lie? The Chao family has no business cooperation with Tan Lie's family.

This was originally a question that Huo Yige would never think about because there was already an answer.

But Chao Ci specifically brought it up now, as if he was telling him directly: No, it's not what you think.

Chao Ci didn't care. He suppressed boredom in his brows and eyes: "Because I'm sick."

“Major depression—and you owe a lot of the credit.”

--What's the meaning?

Huo Yige didn't speak, but his eyes darkened obviously. He stared closely into Chao Ci's eyes, and suddenly seemed a little afraid of the truth.

"It was December 14th last year, do you still remember this time?" Chao Ci seemed to feel a little bored again, and put all the white stones he took out back into the plate one by one.

Remember, of course I remember.

For a long time, he reflected on what he did that day. But later when he went to find Chao Ci, he found that instead of breaking up with people like Tan Lie, he wanted to go to Country D with him. After that, he

Not only did I not feel that my behavior that day was excessive, but the fire in my heart burned even stronger.

"That day when I went home - oh, it's not really home now - Zhao Yi said that Nan Xiaojin was back and he was moving out. He had already packed his luggage and went out directly after I came back. He left

After that, I went to the bathroom alone and put a lot of water in the bathtub."

He slowly raised his wrist. At first glance, it looked very white and delicate, but upon closer inspection, he felt that it seemed a little inconsistent with the surrounding skin color. However, it was so inconspicuous that no one would notice it unless he said something specifically.

.

"Here, Tan Lie performed a scar removal operation on me. I'm recovering well, right?" Chao Ci chuckled, but it was full of ridicule.

Huo Yige felt chilly.

Combining the two sentences before and after Chao Ci, an extremely terrifying idea almost came to the surface.

He looked at Chao Ci steadily, without showing too many emotions on his face.

"Don't look at me like that, it's just what you think." Chao Ci said, "I bit this place open. I actually thought about it for a long time. When I wanted to die, I was thinking about how I was going to die. Jumping off the building hurts too much.

Hanging is too uncomfortable, and lying on the rails is unrealistic. It seems that cutting your wrists is the only good option. Do you know why people who commit suicide by cutting their wrists always like to put a pool of water in the bathtub? Because warm water can speed up blood flow and relieve pain.

, I tried it myself and found it to be true.”

When he said these words, the corners of his mouth were raised, but his eyes were so cold that there was no warmth at all.

Every time he said something, Huo Yige's face turned pale. By the time he finished speaking, the man in front of him looked extremely ugly.

"If Tan Lie hadn't come to me that night and saved me, I wouldn't be talking to you now."

"At that time, I didn't want to live very much. I knew I was sick, and I didn't want to be cured. But Tanlie begged me to live and be cured... I have never been an easily moved person, but at that time I

By a strange coincidence, I agreed."

Perhaps it was Tan Lie who made him realize that there were still people in this world who wanted to be close to him so much, and there were still people who truly regarded his pain as their own and cherished him to the core.

These twenty years of life are not considered such a failure.

"The medical conditions in this area in China are not very good. Tan Lie discussed with me many times, and finally I agreed to let him go to country D. Then it turned out to be what you saw."

He looked at Huo Yige's rare pale face, and felt a sense of revengeful pleasure in his heart.

"I finally had some hope of living, but you completely crushed me. When you tortured me, I deliberately angered you. I knew you would be very angry, and my end was destined to be bad. But it doesn't matter anymore.

, I’m disgusted with you, and I’m even more disgusted with myself.”

"Even so, being locked up in that basement for two days was more than I could bear. Yes, I went crazy."

As Chao Ci spoke, he lowered his head and rummaged for something in his bag, and finally found several medical cases and handed them all to Huo Yige.

This scene seemed familiar. Huo Yige once handed the information to Chao Ci, grabbed Chao Ci's handle, and beat him to death. But now Chao Ci put these cases in front of him and sentenced him to death.

Huo Yige's hands were ice cold.

His body was not in good condition at first. He had been cold all year round, but now he was even colder and had no warmth at all.

He is in his thirties and has lived for half his life. It seems that he only now knows what timidity is.

But after all, he was a man in his thirties and the man behind the shopping mall. Even though his heart was trembling at this moment, he still did not escape. He took the cases and looked at them carefully.

Chao Ci did not lie, it was all true.

"Huo Yige." Chao Ci suddenly called his name, as if pronouncing a sentence, "You killed me, twice."

Huo Yige hated Chao Ci for loving Zhao Yi, hated him for wanting to return to Country D with Tan Lie, and hated them for taking Chao Ci away from him.

But he is obviously the biggest culprit. If Zhao Yi and Tan Lie really want to deal with him, they can just tell him this. But Zhao Yi and Tan Lie, neither of them will do this.

Tan Lie was willing to remind Zhao Yi and accuse him, but he was unwilling to accuse Huo Yige.
