Qiao Ba looked at Gu Xin standing in front of the desk like a javelin with an indifferent expression, and a strange color flashed across his bottomless eyes.
The thumb of his left hand was raised slightly, as if he wanted to move a Buddhist bead - but in the end he gave up.
He raised his left hand, picked up the book again, and said calmly: "He is in the backyard."
Hearing this, Gu Xin turned around and left.
"Gu Xin, the second young master of the Gu family." Qiao Ba pursed his lips and murmured to himself. "Don't try to be my enemy. I will pay some price for destroying you, but I can afford it."
————
The Qiao Family Courtyard occupies a small area. It cannot be called luxurious. The architecture tends to be in a simple style. It is very similar to Qiao Ba's style of conduct in the past ten years.
It's just that the pastoral scenery revealed in the yard is mixed with a gloomy atmosphere, which makes people unable to feel the joy and contentment of the pastoral at all. On the contrary, it makes people uneasy.
Gu Xin walked over, and under the guidance of a servant of the Qiao family, he stopped in front of an awkward and locked door.
"Young Master Chen is resting in the room. Young Master Gu, please don't disturb me for too long," the servant who opened the door reminded.
Gu Xin said nothing and nodded slowly.
Creak——
After unlocking the door, Gu Xin hesitantly pushed the door open.
He doesn't understand.
I don't understand it at all.
There is a lock on the door, which means he is locked up.
Who is Qiao Ba to him?
Why did Qiao Ba lock him up? What mistake did he make that made Qiao Ba, the tycoon on the road, so difficult?
Walking into the room, Gu Xin immediately frowned.
As soon as he entered the door, a sour smell hit his nostrils. Then, Gu Xin's eyes rested on the man sitting by the window with his back to him.
The strange thing is - this man is sitting in a wheelchair. His hair is slightly gray, and his tall and majestic back looks very rickety even when he is sitting. He looks like a frail posture that can only be found in an old man in his sixties or seventies.
As soon as Gu Xinfu saw this picture, his heart was filled with excitement. He opened his mouth, but could not spit out a word.
He stared at the back for a long time, but he couldn't help but take out the wine bottle and took a few sips. As if to clear the pent-up breath, he drank half of the strong wine, and Gu Xin just adjusted his state.
He asked in a very calm tone: "Chen Yiliang - is that you?"
"Teacher Gu, do you have a problem with me?"
Gu Xin waited for three full minutes before such a response came.
The voice was old and desolate, like a dying old man speaking. How could he sound like a handsome eighteen-year-old boy?
Gu Xin was moved.
He suppressed his surging emotions and asked, "Why don't you come to class?"
"I don't want to fall in love." The husky voice sounded out.
"What happened to you?" Gu Xin said.
"nothing."
"You——" Gu Xin said hesitantly. "Can you turn around?"
There was another long wait. After a long time, Chen Yiliang moved.
It’s not the body that moves, it’s the wheelchair that moves——
He turned the wheelchair slowly and then faced Gu Xin directly.
Gu Xin only took one look and was completely stunned.
His originally smooth black hair was black and white, like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. His waist was not as straight as when we first met, but was deeply stooped. His hands looked like withered,
It was completely different from the slender fingers like a pianist before. His legs——
"What's wrong with your legs?" Gu Xin's eyes gleamed.
His legs are covered with iron nails, and there are more than just iron nails. Judging from the shape and movement of the legs, they are even filled with iron frames!
"It's broken." Chen Yiliang's chapped lips were slightly opened and his voice was hoarse and old.
"It's broken? How could it be broken?" Gu Xin's voice increased, and he asked confusedly and angrily.
Chen Yiliang is a master!
In Gu Xin's opinion, he is almost a first-class master who can catch up with Lin Ze!
But what about now?
His leg is broken!
A person with a broken leg, especially to a martial arts master, is almost equal to waste!
How did he become like this? Who broke his legs? Who could break his legs?
Gu Xin's eyes are red!
Chen Yiliang is not only his student, but also an opponent worthy of his respect! But now he has become like this. Gu Xin is heartbroken and sighs.
"If it's broken, it's broken. Does the rest still have any meaning?"
"——" Gu Xin was speechless.
He suddenly discovered that Chen Yiliang, who was originally cynical and lively, had changed.
Become silent, become depressed, or even - become another person!
He had not been in contact with Chen Yiliang for a long time, but he was infected by his uninhibited and free temperament. He was handsome, handsome, domineering, and very cynical. He was simply a model of a playboy.
But now?
What has become of him?
He became so Gu Xin could not believe that the man in the wheelchair in front of him was his student Chen Yiliang!
They are so completely different that you can't believe your eyes!
"What are you going to do in the future?" Gu Xin calmed his breath and asked solemnly.
"In the future?" A strange color appeared on Chen Yiliang's face, which was as pale as a corpse, and he said hoarsely, "Be a lame dog."
"No more going to school?" Gu Xin asked.
"No."
"Locked in the room forever?" Gu Xin asked.
"Dogs can also guard the door, can't they?"
"——"
Gu Xin pursed his lips and opened his mouth, but it was difficult to spit out even a single syllable.
He is lame.
He became a dog. A lame dog.
Somehow, looking at Chen Yiliang sitting hunched in a wheelchair, Gu Xin felt that the corners of his eyes were a little dry.
He roughly grabbed the wine bottle, opened the lid and was about to drink. As soon as he raised his arm, he slowly dropped it again. Then - he walked slowly to Chen Yiliang, squatted down, and said calmly: "I like drinking, and I like being in the house."
I drink when I'm unhappy, and I also like to drink when I'm alone -" Gu Xin put the wine bottle on Chen Yiliang's lap and said, "Give it to you."
Chen Yiliang remained silent, his old face, which was extremely inconsistent with his age, showed no expression at all.
"You are not a good student, not an obedient student." Gu Xin said. "But you are a good opponent and an opponent worthy of respect."
Chen Yiliang still remained silent.
Gu Xin stood up slowly, stared deeply at Chen Yiliang, and sighed: "I'm leaving, take care."
Gu Xin left in a daze, and until the door closed again, Chen Yiliang stretched out his wrinkled palm, touched the still warm wine bottle that Gu Xin held tightly, picked it up, closed his eyes and took a sip of the wine, and said hoarsely: "
Good wine.”

The music in the coffee shop was melodious and soothing, and Lin Ze had a light smile on his face, stirring the coffee in front of him, like a sentimental bourgeoisie.
Xia Shuzhu, who was sitting opposite him, took a sip of fragrant coffee. Her bright eyes that seemed to be able to speak stared at Lin Ze for a moment. She opened her lips several times, but did not say a word.
Time passed by, and when Lin Ze took out his fourth cigarette and wanted to continue smoking, Xia Shuzhu held his wrist with warm hands, shook his head gently and said, "Stop smoking."
Lin Ze was slightly stunned, with a smile on his lips. He put the cigarette back into the cigarette case and drank coffee slowly.
He was smiling. But Xia Shuzhu could tell that his smile was fake and hypocritical. He wasn't really smiling, he just didn't want himself to find out that he was in a bad mood.
"I am a woman -" Xia Shuzhu bit her soft lips, looked at this hypocritical man and said, "Your woman, are you unwilling to tell me what is on your mind?"
Lin Ze, who was holding the coffee, paused for a moment, raised his eyes to look at this beautiful and charming woman, and chuckled: "What did you say?"
"Gu Xin's student, that man named Chen Yiliang." Xia Shuzhu said.
"From a standpoint, he should be considered my enemy." Lin Ze explained.
"But you are not enemies in the true sense, are you?" Xia Shuzhu asked.
"Yes." Lin Ze nodded.
"I can see that you are a little worried about him." Xia Shuzhu held Lin Ze's palm on the coffee table and rubbed his rough palm. "If you are worried, why don't you do something? I know that you are
of this ability.”
"What to do?" Lin Ze smiled bitterly. "Once some people make a choice, no one can change it, and no one has the ability to change it."
"Then why are you worried? If he knows that you, as an enemy, have this intention, he should be very satisfied." Xia Shuzhu comforted the man she loved deeply.
"You're right. I don't need to feel bad about this matter at all. I'm not a saint or a superman. I can't help everyone. I have to help." Lin Ze took a sip of coffee and said. "
Just like if one day a man loves you so much that he loves you so much and asks me to let you go, I will definitely not agree."
Xia Shuzhu's jade face turned red and she spat: "How dare you promise me to kill you."
"Comrade Xiaoxia, do you have time tonight? If so, let's discuss it." Lin Ze changed the topic and tried to be a happy person.
"No." Xia Shuzhu said slyly. "My parents will come to Huaxin City in the evening."
"Oh, I didn't expect that my first hookup would end in failure. Life is so miserable." Lin Ze said sadly.
"Asshole, who do you think I am?" Xia Shuzhu pinched his arm.
"A beautiful teacher with an angelic appearance, a devilish figure, raw skills, and a reserved attitude in bed." Lin Ze answered Comrade Xiaoxia's questions comprehensively.
"Rogue!" Xia Shuzhu said angrily.
"Then you are the little girl, otherwise why would you be interested in a gangster like me?" Lin Ze said contemptuously.
"I'm too lazy to scold you." Xia Shuzhu rolled her eyes at him charmingly.
"Well, let's get back to the topic." Lin Ze lit a cigarette.
"What's the main topic?" Xia Shuzhu asked curiously.
"You don't have time tonight, what about tomorrow night?"
"My parents have a flight the day after tomorrow."
"Does that mean you have time the day after tomorrow?" Lin Ze said happily.
"No." Xia Shuzhu shook his head firmly.
"Why?" Lin Ze said excitedly.
"Because -" Xia Shuzhu narrowly blinked her bright eyes that seemed to be able to speak. "My relatives want to see me."
"Didn't your parents come to see you? Why do your relatives--" Lin Ze was half-sentence, realizing that he was innocently treating this relative as that relative, and couldn't help but become angry. "Damn it, sooner or later I will let you
Your relatives never come back!"
