The old man in the back seat, who had his eyes closed and was concentrating, slowly opened his eyes when he heard the words. At this moment, there was a flash of light in his slightly cloudy eyes.
"Park the car in front." He said, his voice was a little hoarse, he coughed slightly, and continued: "I can go in alone, you guys just wait at the door."
"yes."
…………
This is City B, the darkest prison.
It is dark because it is more difficult for people who enter this prison to get out than to go to heaven. The geographical location here is very remote. Although it is definitely known to everyone as a prison, under normal circumstances, it is not
If there are relatives who are imprisoned here, no one will come here. Such a place always gives the world a somewhat unlucky feeling.
Moreover, the prisoners imprisoned here are all extremely vicious, and few people come to visit them.
However, Qiao Shiyun will come here once a year.
Every time he came, he was very secretive. He took a plane from city C to a foreign country, then privately took a private plane back to city a, and then asked someone to drive him to city b. After passing through three cities, he finally arrived at this prison.
He has been coming here once a year for 5 years. Except for a few close followers who accompany him to City B every year, no one knows about him.
——What kind of secret is hidden here.
…………
The warden knew Qiao Shiyun and had been in contact with him for a long time. Every year on this day, he would come here in person, and the time would not change. The warden had been waiting at the prison gate early in the morning. As soon as he saw the lights of a car approaching, he immediately asked someone to come.
Opening the door, he was waiting at the door himself.
After seeing Qiao Shiyun, the two of them looked at each other, and then the warden led him inside.
As he walked, he lowered his voice and said respectfully: "...This year, her situation is still very good, and she is much more honest. However, two days ago, she asked, when will you come over?
, she should have something to tell you."
Qiao Shiyun's eyebrows didn't move, and he just said "Yes" in a deep voice, "Take me in."
Fifteen minutes later, in a small room, it was empty. There was a table in the whole room, and two stools on the opposite side. On one of the stools, Qiao Shiyun was sitting, and the door behind him was pushed open. "Squeak"
"Yeah", and then there was a sound of footsteps, accompanied by the sound of iron chains.
Qiao Shiyun turned around and a woman walked in from the door.
Her hair was cut short, her face was sallow, her hands and feet were heavily handcuffed and legcuffed, and she was wearing a gray-white prison uniform. Qiao Shiyun thought about it, she should be less than 50 years old this year, right? But she is now
, but he looks like an old man who is almost 60 years old.
Also, in such a prison, how can you still be young if you are lingering on your last breath?
As soon as the woman saw Qiao Shiyun, a hint of resentment suddenly flashed across her usually expressionless face, and her skinny body tensed up instantly. The caregiver pressing down on her noticed her emotions and immediately became furious.
With a straight face, he shouted sternly, "Be honest!"
When Qiao Shiyun saw this, he didn't look nervous at all. He just pointed to the seat opposite and said, "Sit down, I know you want to see me, so relax."
…………
The woman sat down and stared at Qiao Shiyun with resentful eyes. After a moment, she lowered her eyes but did not speak. She just pursed her lips, turning white and purple, and her handcuffed hands were tightly pulled into fists.
Qiao Shiyun seemed to be used to her being like this, and the expression on his face was very normal. He pondered for a moment, and then said to himself: "...This is the last year I will come to see you, and I will never come here again."
…………
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman opposite suddenly raised her head, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes.
Qiao Shiyun frowned, sighed softly, and shook his head, "I can't come here all the time. The situation is different now. You should know very well that after I let you in, I have no intention of letting you out again. I am a businessman.
You can't do things that are harmful to nature, you can't kill people and set fire. You should also know that when you get here, you can't...blame it all on me, everything...just treat it as a cycle of cause and effect. I can't blame others, and there is no need to resent anymore. I have worked hard.
I'm trying to make up for it. I know you have grievances in your heart, but I'll take care of everything I can for you."
"I came here today just to tell you that you don't have to worry about anything you are worried about. They... will be fine. As for you, don't expect to come out again. Everyone who enters here will die of old age here.
"
He glanced at the old-looking woman opposite him, suppressed the desire to sigh, and continued: "You have lost a lot of weight, I will let them take good care of you."
He stood up, intending to leave, and the woman opposite also stood up instantly.
Qiao Shiyun looked at her, probably seeing the deep longing in her eyes. He frowned, paused, and then said: "I can't say much else, but you can rest assured that she is very good and I will not treat her badly."
.You can stay here with peace of mind."
He reached out to gather his coat, picked up his hat, put it on, and walked out of the small room without looking back.
There were footsteps behind me and I wanted to catch up, but when I reached the door, I was stopped by someone. A stern male voice said, "Where do you want to go? Be honest and go back!"

※※※※※
When Zijin woke up, it was about 8 o'clock in the morning.
She has been back in City C for a while. After completely adjusting to the jet lag, her biological clock is extremely on time and she wakes up at about this time every day.
She turned over and looked at her injured wrist. She pressed it with one hand and moved it. It was no longer painful. She estimated that it would be almost healed in a day or two.
She glanced at her phone and remembered that she had an appointment with Qi Mingye today. Zijin found Mu Chenchu's number and called again. Still no one answered. She couldn't help but secretly curse a few words - this damn woman,
You should bring your mobile phone with you when you go on a business trip!
But then I thought about it, maybe it was Su Junyan who was responsible.
He threw his cell phone on the bedside table and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. Looking at the simplicity of this device, the low-key luxury in every aspect, and the strong masculine atmosphere of the room, his heart trembled.
She turned her face and looked at the dark gray quilt at her hand, which had the smell of him. Last night, she slept very soundly... She quickly shook her head and comforted herself.
I'm really tired. This has nothing to do with Gu Yanshen.
Gu Yanshen's master bedroom had a bathroom. Zijin simply washed up in it and counted the time. At this time, Gu Yanshen should have gone to the company, so she walked out of the master bedroom.
Unexpectedly, in the restaurant, a man in formal attire was holding a cup of coffee and a newspaper in one hand, having breakfast leisurely.
…………
"Are you up? Come and have breakfast." The man didn't even raise his head, but his deep voice was firm.
Zijin thought that the sound of his walking should not be that loud, right? He didn't even raise his head to look at himself, but he knew that he was coming?
Gu Yanshen flipped through another page of the newspaper, but still didn't raise his head, but he seemed to be able to read minds, "Your scent is very clear in this room. It can't be someone else. Come sit down and have breakfast."
Zi Jin blushed. Every time he spoke, there was a hint of ambiguity, which made her very distressed.
What's distressing is not this man's attitude towards her. What's distressing is that she has become less and less repulsive to every ambiguous word he has said to her, but the frequency of her heartbeat is...
Faster and faster.
"Hey, Miss Shen is up? I've prepared breakfast. What do you want to eat?"
Aunt Bao probably heard the noise outside and came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face. Zi Jin found that today she actually called him "Miss Shen" instead of "Miss Qiao" like before.
She is not stupid and knows that such a change cannot be accidental.
His probing eyes subconsciously looked at Gu Yanshen. The man just frowned and read the newspaper at hand, concentrating on it.
There was still something different in her heart. She always had the illusion that she was being cared for wholeheartedly by a man.
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, she immediately gave it up - Shen Zijin, it was an illusion, yes, it was just an illusion!
"...Let's have some porridge, thank you Aunt Bao." Zijin calmed down, walked over, and sat on Gu Yanshen's right hand side.
The newspaper in his hand happened to be held in his right hand. It was a large sheet and completely spread out. Zijin glanced at it casually and happened to catch one of the eye-catching headlines. She was stunned for a moment.
, I thought I had seen it wrong, so my eyes fixed, and then I was sure that I had seen it correctly.
"...Is Boss Zhao from City A involved in a lawsuit?" She pointed at the newspaper in Gu Yanshen's hand and asked subconsciously.
If she remembers correctly, it seems that the project that Qiao Jinglian took over that time, the partner was this boss Zhao. The news said that he seemed to be involved in a lawsuit, or a commercial crime. This kind of lawsuit is the most troublesome, and
It has already made big headlines, and it is estimated that there is a high probability that he will be convicted!
So, isn't Qiao Jinglian's project going to fail?
"Um."
Gu Yanshen snorted emotionlessly, picked up the coffee beside him, took a sip, and said in a low but very casual voice, "What, Boss Zhao, do you know him?"
"I don't know."
Zijin said honestly: "But I know that he is a partner in Qiao Jinglian's project. Now that he has got into a lawsuit, will Qiao have any influence?"
Gu Yan curled his thin lips deeply, folded the newspaper in his hand, and threw it aside. His tone was a bit casual, "I just signed the contract, Qiao's will not have much influence, anyway, Qiao Jinglian is already looking for a new home."
.”
"So fast?"
Zijin frowned, thought about it seriously, and said seriously: "I thought Qiao Jinglian would want that piece of land. After all, after signing the contract, even if Boss Zhao goes bankrupt, it should be considered a breach of contract."
"Why, are you very concerned about his project?" Gu Yan raised his eyebrows deeply, fiddled with the coffee cup at hand with his slender fingers, and spoke in a low tone.
"It has nothing to do with me."
Zi Jin subconsciously intervened and clarified his relationship with Qiao Jinglian in front of Gu Yanshen. She did not feel that there was anything unnatural at all, "I just asked casually. In fact, I have no influence on whether she can succeed in this project.
To put it bluntly, I am Qiao's young master after all, so even if a project fails, nothing will happen."
"I thought you were comparing two projects to see who would do better. This way you would be more qualified to speak."
Gu Yanshen made a pun, lowered his eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed through his pupils, but no one could detect it, "Actually, you don't have to tell me in a hurry to tell me that you really have no interest in him and don't care at all. I
I know you hate him, so I believe you."
"..." Zijin's face froze, and the atmosphere at the dinner table, which was originally harmonious, suddenly became more subtle.
Of course she understood the meaning of Gu Yanshen's last words - does this man want to be so pretentious?!
Zijin was a little annoyed, frowned, and retorted, "I didn't mean that at all!"
Gu Yanshen chuckled lightly, but did not dwell on the topic. He seemed to have made up his mind. The look in his eyes clearly revealed something about you - you meant what you said and meant what you said.
Zijin was really angry and annoyed, and wanted to say something else. Gu Yanshen took a step ahead of her and said, "But, you can pay more attention to this project. Now, you don't have to cooperate with Su Junyan and Mu Chenchu."
Too worried, that is to say, your project is 100% going smoothly, and Qiao Jinglian happened to have such a thing, so you can put more thought into it. As far as I know, Qiao Jinglian doesn’t think much about this project.
It’s quite heavy.”
Zi Jin didn't quite understand. What did Gu Yanshen mean when he said this to him?
There are no problems with her project, and Qiao Jinglian also values his project very much, so he is now anxious to find a new home, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with him, right?
Just as he was about to ask, Aunt Bao came out with her porridge again. Zijin could only swallow his doubts, but after thinking about it, he felt that he might have thought too much. Gu Yanshen should have just mentioned it casually. After all, he was here.
In official matters, he has always stood in the position of a leader and led himself forward. Zijin has always admitted that for a person like her who has just graduated and entered society, Qiao Shiyun gave her a
A great opportunity, and Gu Yanshen is undoubtedly the best "master".
He used the most direct and transparent way to let himself have good access to this area.
When the cell phone rang, Zijin took a sip of porridge, quickly put down the spoon, took it out and saw that it was the name he had just saved yesterday - Uncle Mingye.
She glanced at Gu Yanshen. The man happened to be drinking coffee. His sexy Adam's apple slid up and down. Zijin's eyes flashed and he stood up. Before walking out of the restaurant, he had already answered the phone, "Uncle Mingye..."
Gu Yanshen gently put down the coffee cup in his hand, looked at the petite back with his deep eyes, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
