Chapter 209: When you cry, I collapse instantly (12) Who is taking advantage of whom?
"Yes... he was the bodyguard of the crown prince back then. Now he is the famous man in front of the president, Qin Nansi..."
Nansi!
Gu Mingxi's hand relaxed for a second and then suddenly tightened, and he squeezed out three words from his thin lips, "You lied!"
Not Nan Si, not him!
This person is lying.
The man was leaning against the wall, feeling that his neck was about to be broken by her. Her cold and slender fingers were tightly pinching the lifeline on his neck, making him unable to breathe in pain!
Xiao Han couldn't stand it anymore, he stepped forward and clasped Gu Mingxi's shoulder with one hand, "Xi Xi..." Complexity and ambiguity flashed in his eyes!
The more she couldn't believe it, the more important Long Pei was in her heart.
"I didn't, I didn't lie. The money he gave me back then has always been in my account. I didn't dare to spend it... I was afraid that they would find me because of this... and kill me and silence me."
The man spoke with difficulty. Although he had Qin Nansi's guarantee back then, he still felt unsafe. He ran away immediately after the accident. The other three people died not long after being taken into prison.
After hearing the news, he didn't dare to come forward, and finally escaped abroad. Life abroad was even more difficult, but he was still alive, but he didn't expect that he would be caught by this man in the end...
Gu Mingxi's hand suddenly let go, and his arm quickly drew a lonely arc in mid-air, hanging slumped beside him. His cold eyes dropped dimly...
In fact, she didn't need to check his account, she knew that he wasn't lying, everything was true, and it was Long Pei's design.
It's just that she can't accept it. She can't believe that Long Pei would do something so cruel!
The man gasped for air and leaned against the wall in exhaustion, feeling as if he was experiencing life and death again.
Xiao Han gave him a look, indicating that he could leave. The man immediately dragged his weak body towards the entrance of the alley...
Gu Mingxi stood there, her thin body surrounded by indifference, and her whole person had no aura of strangers. Her indifferent expression and lowered eyes made it impossible to detect her mood at this moment.
Xiao Han was silent for a while, then said softly: "Xi Xi..."
"Iruo's return and the CD matter are all related to you, right?" She suddenly spoke, looking sideways at him with a calm expression.
Xiao Han was startled for a moment, and seemed to acquiesce in silence.
Gu Mingxi curled her lips and sneered, "Yi Ruo used this matter to threaten Long Pei and make Long Pei fear her everywhere; you used Yi Ruo to divide my marriage with Long Pei..."
It turns out that Yiruo is not the only one who has been hiding in the dark and scheming.
What Long Pei said that night was very clear. He had never touched Yi Ruo, but why had he tolerated Yi Ruo before and even let her live in the presidential palace.
Because Yiruo has evidence to prove what happened back then, once it is spread, it will not only intensify the conflict between the Qin family and Long Pei, but also make the people hate such an evil president.
Yiruo wanted to say something that night, but she hesitated when she saw the look in Long Pei's eyes. It was probably because Long Pei was threatening her with Feifei's life!
In this way, everything is reasonable and clear.
Long Pei kept Yi Ruo with him because he wanted to get the evidence in Yi Ruo's hands, but he didn't expect that the real evidence in Yi Ruo's hands was in Xiao Han's hands.
In this circle, everyone is plotting and being plotted, but I have never plotted against anyone, but I am being plotted everywhere...
"Xixi, it was Long Pei who forced me to do this. I can't watch you marry the devil who ruined our life and love, and now I can't watch you make the same mistake again and again!"
If Gu Mingxi hadn't still wanted to come forward after watching the CD, how could he have the heart to remind her of what happened back then!
"At first, I just wanted to make sure you knew the cause of Fang Jin's death! After I confirmed it, I didn't want you to go to court to help testify against Long Pei. I just wanted you to leave him! But do you know... something happened to Fang Jinyi?
I immediately arranged for someone to hide the doctor and He Lei separately. Just when it was confirmed that the trial was about to begin, the doctor was suddenly assassinated and died. I was afraid that He Lei's testimony alone was not enough, so I handed the disc to Huo Linmo. I knew that he and I
Same, I don’t want you to be with Long Pei!”
Gu Mingxi recalled what Long Pei said that morning in his mind. It turned out that neither the doctor nor He Lei was in his hands.
What's the use of the Qin family hiding these two people? Even if Long Pei wants to die alone, God can't stop him.
You are arranged by fate, and I arrange fate.
It wasn't until this moment that Gu Mingxi truly understood the true meaning of his words.
In this chess game, everyone is a pawn, and he is the chess player, manipulating them at will to determine their fate, life and death, honor and disgrace.
"Now He Lei and the doctor are dead, and all the evidence has been destroyed by him. Xixi, I have no choice. If you don't stand up and tell the truth, everyone in the Qin family will be dead..."
Xiao Han's low and hoarse voice revealed a hint of pleading, and his dark pupils stared at her, "Xixi, do you really want to watch the Qin family be completely destroyed? The Qin family is defeated, do you think we will still have a way to survive?"
Regardless of his identity as Qin Yuan, Qin Zhan overcame all difficulties and brought her into the Qin family, allowing her to have a shelter from the wind and rain, allowing her to go to school and take care of her life. Based on this alone, Gu Mingxi cannot be ungrateful.
Abandoning the life and death of the Qin family.
Fate is really hateful sometimes, why should such a difficult choice be left to her!
"Xi Xi..." Xiao Han saw her indifferent expression and refused to speak. He couldn't guess what she was thinking in her heart at the moment, so he couldn't help but speak.
Does she still want to defend that cruel devil?
"Leave me alone for a while." Gu Mingxi said lightly, the long nails of the fingers hanging by his side pinched the palm of his hand, trying his best to maintain his composure, and his eyes met his longing eyes, "
I promise you I will give you the answer before dawn tomorrow."
The sound fell, and he turned around and walked towards the exit of the alley!
"Xi Xi..." Xiao Han wanted to stop her, but Gu Mingxi did not stop or look back.
Whether Xiao Han or Qin Yuan, his feelings for her have never changed. If he didn't have to, he wouldn't want her to fall into this irreversible situation, but he had to do this.
If the Qin family were defeated, there would be no way for all of them to survive, and he knew Ye Qing's character so well that he would drag Gu Mingxi to be buried with him even if he died.
What's more, Long Pei was not unjust. Everything he did now was his fault. Now it's just retribution...
Now he just hopes that Gu Mingxi will stop being so stubborn. Evil people like Long Pei are not worthy of her protection!
Xixi, don't make any more mistakes.

Long Pei stood up and patted Bai Yan's shoulder with his big hand, "Welcome back!"
Bai Yan lost a lot of weight during his trip, and his whole body looked slimmer and slimmer. During these days abroad, he shut down all communications, did not use the phone, or read newspapers online, so he did not know that the capital of the country had spoken out so much.
thing!
The day before yesterday, when he went out, he heard someone talking about the news about country C. After listening carefully, he realized that Mrs. Jin was dead and that your Excellency was sued to the International Court of Justice. He immediately bought the fastest flight and flew more than a dozen flights.
Another flight took place an hour later, and we arrived at the capital.
As soon as he got off the plane, he came to the Presidential Palace to see Long Pei, or maybe subconsciously he wanted to take a look at the figure hidden in his heart!
"Your Excellency..." As soon as he started to speak, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in" Long Pei squeezed out one word and returned to his chair to sit down.
The black shadow walked in and bowed to him, without even looking at Bai Yan, as if he was nothing, "Sir, Madam and Xiao Han met at this place, and now they are alone in the city center. Also appearing at the same time is this person,
Need me..."
He doesn't need to say the rest of the words, they both know each other well.
Long Pei glanced at the photo he handed over. There was not only Xiao Han in the photo, but also that person...
No wonder he couldn't find it. It turned out to be hidden by the Qin family!
"No need!" Since he appeared, it meant that Xiao Han had told her everything.
Xiao Han took into account that what happened back then would also cause harm to Gu Mingxi, so naturally he would not let this person go to court to settle old scores.
His life or death is irrelevant now.
Bai Yan glanced at the photo and seemed to understand what was going on in an instant. Worry flashed in his clear eyes.
"I understand." The man uttered four words and left the office decisively.
"Sir, why don't I go talk to Madam." Bai Yan couldn't help but speak. Although he had just come back, he had already contacted Banxia in the car and knew the general outline of the whole matter.
Xiao Han was so anxious to tell Gu Mingxi everything because he must have known what Mingxi heard about Mrs. Jin when he was in the hospital!
Long Pei's cold outline was filled with gloom, and there was no emotion in his windless eyes. He was silent for a long time, and then just uttered three words lightly, "No need."
Bai Yan looked worried.
"You go back and rest, Nan Division and the others will handle this matter." Long Pei spoke again, waving Bai Yan back.
Bai Yan saw that his attitude had reached its bottom, turned around and left the office.
*****
When he walked out of the building, the oncoming figure stopped Bai Yan's steps.
The person he had been thinking about day and night suddenly appeared in front of him. For a moment, he couldn't react, and he was even so stunned that he couldn't help but look at him with so much obsession in his eyes.
He came back very suddenly, and Nan Si didn't receive any news. He was startled when he saw this suddenly, but he quickly came to his senses and walked towards him step by step...
"I'm back." These three words were plain and simple, without any special concern, just as casual as treating an ordinary friend.
"Yes." Bai Yan responded softly, fearing that his reaction would be too cold and embarrassing him, so he hastily added: "I have turned off my phone and haven't read the newspaper online. I didn't know something happened to you."
"I know." Nan Si knew because Bai Yan's phone was turned off and no one responded to his text messages. He guessed that Bai Yan probably didn't want to contact anyone.
Bai Yan didn't know how to answer the question, and the two of them looked at each other in silence for a while, and the atmosphere was awkward and subtle.
It is really a sad thing to talk about everything that we used to have to talk about now that we have nothing to talk about now.
"You... must be busy with a lot of things!" Bai Yan forced a smile on his lips, lowered his head and passed by him.
The moment they passed each other, Bai Yan heard his hoarse voice that seemed to contain concern, "Go back and have a good rest. You look very haggard."
In an instant, joy surged into his heart, and Bai Yan immediately stopped and looked back at him. Nan Si had already walked towards the building, and what he just said seemed to be just Bai Yan's imagination.
Bai Yan knew that it was not his auditory hallucination or fantasy, but that he really said it.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she felt indescribable sadness and bitterness in her heart when she looked at his back.
People who have never seen the back of the person they love deeply cannot understand this state of mind.
At least, he was thinking about himself in his heart.
Bai Yan comforted himself with this thought. He cared about himself and thought about himself. This was enough!

Gu Mingxi abandoned the car on the side of the road and walked alone among the crowds, not knowing where he should go or where he could go.
She has moved to many places over the years, but she has never really had a home of her own, a space where she can release her emotions alone and not be strong or rational.
People come and go around me, everyone is in a hurry, some are smiling, some are nervous, some are depressed, some are irritable. They live ordinary and normal lives in this city, and have their own experiences and stories.
But who would be like her, living in conspiracy and calculation all the time.
She suddenly thought of a place, reached for an empty car, got in, and reported an address.
The driver looked through the rearview mirror and saw Gu Mingxi looking extremely sad and heartbroken, with a strange look in his eyes, but he still drove the car.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a ruins, and the surrounding area was deserted.
Gu Mingxi paid to get out of the car, and his eyes fell on the huge ruins in front of him. There were black messes everywhere, and the weeds growing around him looked even more depressed as they withered and turned yellow in autumn.
——Dragon Scale.
The place where all tragedies begin.
Gu Mingxi stood in front of the ruins, the once gorgeous palace turned into ruins in her hands.
Now that I think about it, I can't blame him for hating himself to the core...
The cell phone kept ringing in her pocket. Gu Mingxi seemed not to hear it and walked along the winding path to the back of the ruins. She still remembered that there was a pear forest behind the dragon scales.
It seems that there was a president who liked eating pears and watching pear blossoms bloom, so the president personally planted this pear forest for her.
Dragon Scale was also known as a place where gods and immortals lived.
Autumn is bleak. Although the pear trees are still there, the leaves are yellow and withered, leaving only the bare branches. It feels desolate and depressed no matter how you look at it.
Gu Mingxi walked to a pear tree and squatted down. His fingers carefully rubbed the top of the tree root, and a few words were carved crookedly, which were vaguely visible.
——A Zheng and Ming Xi.
Qin Zheng was painting under this tree back then, and she used Qin Zheng's artistry to carve these words.
