Confess to you, do you want to listen?

Chapter 221 Close to the truth
It was already afternoon when the old lady woke up, and although her fever subsided, she was not in good spirits.I couldn't eat anything, so I only ate half a bowl of porridge.

She probably didn't expect to alarm everyone, and told everyone to go back after waking up.Only Gu Shi'an was left behind.

But there have been a lot of things happening recently, and she is getting older, no one dares to go back, and they are all guarding in the old house.

The old lady was not in good spirits and fell asleep shortly after eating.Her cold was probably caused by depression. Although the fever subsided, she was covered in cold sweat when she fell asleep.The doctor originally wanted to leave when he was fine, but now he stayed and watched.
The atmosphere in the old house was depressing, no one felt bored after sitting in the living room all day.In the evening, almost all the grandkids came over.

Gu Lan was the last to get the news. She was supposed to work overtime at night, so she also asked for leave and hurried over.

Her concern for the old lady was sincere, and when she came over, she asked how the old lady Gu Shian was doing, and then cooked porridge for the old lady herself.

Gu Chengde went out early, and it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when he came back.With a dusty look and a tired face.

The other people probably wanted to ask something, but they all agreed and didn't ask anything.After sitting for a while, Gu Chengyun went to smoke with him.

This night was a round of vigils. In fact, only Gu Shi'an and Gu Lan were guarding in the end.The others found various excuses and went upstairs after playing cards in the middle of the night.Only Gu Lan and Gu Shi'an were left in the living room.

Gu Shi'an asked Gu Lan to rest and she refused, saying that she was not sleepy.

After the others left, the two chatted a lot, and Gu Shi'an asked if Gu Lan was used to going to work recently.She found a new job as a clerk in a company.Although the salary is not very high, but you can learn a lot.

Gu Lan said everything was fine.It was really difficult at the beginning, but it's much better now.

She even ran into Qiu Shengmin a few times after she went to work. I don't know if it was because she learned a lesson from being beaten by Chen Xiao that time or something. When he saw her again, he was not as domineering as before.He probably wanted to come forward to say hello, but there were people around him, he hesitated for a moment and left.

Having gotten rid of that nightmare, Gu Lan's tone is much lighter now.After hesitating for a moment, he asked how Gu Shian was doing at work.

Although no one deliberately told her everything about Gu's, she already knew that Gu Shi'an worked for Gu's.

Because the old lady prefers Gu Shi'an, she knows that she is excluded in Gu's family.What's more, he went to work in Gu's.

Gu Shi'an smiled and said that everything was fine, everything went smoothly.

Even if she asked about Gu Shian's real situation, she would not be of much help.Gu Lan finally said nothing.After sitting for a while and letting Gu Shi'an watch over her, she went to the kitchen to make supper by herself.

The two stayed vigil until dawn, and the old lady slept well.Woke up only once during the night and fell asleep again after drinking half a glass of water.

The next day the old lady's spirits improved a lot, knowing that Gu Shi'an and Gu Lan had guarded her all night, she urged them to go to rest.

Gu Shi'an fell asleep until four o'clock in the afternoon. When he woke up, the old lady was sitting in the living room, and Gu Lan was talking with her.Everyone else was absent.

Seeing her coming downstairs with a kind smile on her face, the old lady said, "Wake up." As she spoke, she asked the aunt in the kitchen to get Gu Shi'an food.

The aunt made small wontons, probably because she was afraid that Gu Shian would starve after not eating all day, so she directly made chicken soup wontons for her.

Knowing that both of them had to go to work, the old lady urged them to go back after dinner.It's useless for them to stay here even if she's almost recovered.Will call them if something happens.

After all, the two of them still couldn't win over the old lady, and she let her send the driver back.

The driver sent Gu Shian off first, and it was past eight o'clock when Gu Shian arrived home.Just as Gu Shi'an got out of the car, he saw Assistant Sun waiting beside him.

She couldn't help being stunned for a moment, knowing that there must be something wrong with him waiting here, she stepped forward quickly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Assistant Sun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her. He was going to make a call, but now he put the phone back and said, "I haven't been able to get through to you."

Assistant Sun smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is back."

Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant by saying this.

Assistant Sun opened the car door and said, "He asked me to take you to his side."

Gu Shi'an didn't ask any more questions, he answered and got into the car.

Assistant Sun quickly started the car, Gu Shian fastened his seat belt, and then asked, "When did he come back?"

"The plane off in the afternoon." Assistant Sun replied politely.

He got off the plane in the afternoon, but he never called her.Gu Shi'an nodded and did not speak any more.

She originally thought that Assistant Sun was taking her to Chen Xiao's house.But it wasn't, the car drove straight to the outskirts of the city.

Gu Shi'an was puzzled, but he couldn't help asking: "Where are we going?"

"You will know when you arrive." Assistant Sun replied respectfully.

The roads on both sides became more and more deviated, and when Gu Shian was about to lose his seat, the car stopped in front of a dilapidated building.

The building was pitch black, and Gu Shi'an looked at Assistant Sun.

Assistant Sun didn't explain anything, and said, "Boss Chen is inside."

It's so dark, you can't see anyone at all.Gu Shi'an nodded, opened the door and got out of the car.

Assistant Sun also quickly got out of the car, took out the flashlight he had prepared earlier, and led Gu Shi'an into the dark building.

The building is abandoned, and the inside is a mess.Assistant Sun's footsteps didn't stop when he entered, but took Gu Shi'an all the way upstairs.When he reached the third floor, he stopped and said, "Mr. Chen, Miss Gu is here."

Gu Shi'an looked inside intently, only then did he see some red fireworks in front of the window.

Chen Xiao made a sound quickly, and hummed casually.

Assistant Sun didn't stay long, and went back after saying this.

Gu Shi'an didn't know what Chen Xiao asked her to do here, and his eyes couldn't adapt to the darkness.After getting used to it, just as he was about to go inside, Chen Xiao's voice that seemed to be a smile was not a smile, and said, "Afraid I'll eat you?"

Gu Shi'an always felt that the current Chen Xiao was a little different from the Chen Xiao a few days ago. She didn't say a word, and walked in gropingly.

When she reached Chen Xiao's side, her eyes had already adapted to the darkness in the building.

In the dark, the expression on Chen Xiao's face was not real, but from the slightly raised corners of his mouth, it was vaguely seen that it was a smile that was not a smile.

Gu Shi'an quickly looked away and said, "What are you doing here?"

Chen Xiao took a puff of smoke, and lazily replied: "You will know later."

His tone was quite meaningful.

Before Gu Shi'an could ask him what drama he was watching, he suddenly grabbed her arm.Gu Shi'an might as well, it hit his chest all at once.

There was a faint smell of cigarettes on his body. Before Gu Shian could react, he chuckled lightly and said, "Why, you don't miss me at all after you have been away on business for a few days?"

His tone was ambiguous and frivolous, and Gu Shi'an rested his head on his chest.He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't say them in the end.Just as she was about to ask something, Chen Xiao suddenly possessed her body and bit her lips.

His kiss was fierce and cruel, Gu Shi'an's lips were bitten by him, and the smell of blood soon came out.She was in pain and couldn't help crying out.

Chen Xiao didn't let go of her, and sucked hard on the wound.Although he was fierce and fierce, the kiss didn't last long, but he let go of her within a minute.

Gu Shi'an was a little overwhelmed by his sudden emotion. Before she could react, Chen Xiao hissed and said, "Here we come."

As he spoke, he let go of Gu Shian's shoulders, squinted his glasses and looked into the distance.

The upstairs is high, and you can see far away.

Gu Shi'an didn't know what he was talking about, but he still looked up.At the end of the road that could be seen, a car slowly drove over.

I don't know if the driver is not familiar with the road or what, the speed is not fast, like a snail.

Gu Shi'an raised his head and looked at Chen Xiao. In the darkness, Chen Xiao's profile was stern.

He was not in a hurry, lit another cigarette and smoked slowly.

The car didn't look far away, Gu Shi'an originally thought it would come over soon.But it wasn't, the car drove extremely slowly, and stopped when it was still so far away.The headlights also went out.

Now she looked at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao stood still and didn't even move his eyelids.

It is obviously not suitable to talk in such an atmosphere, Gu Shi'an swallowed all the questions he wanted to ask, and waited for the people over there to come.

There was no movement from the car over there, but after about ten minutes, two figures appeared downstairs.Gu Shi'an subconsciously looked at Chen Xiao.

The corner of Chen Xiao's mouth curled up into a sneer, as if he was not afraid of those two people coming upstairs, and stood still.

Time passed slowly, and the two quickly entered the building.Gu Shi'an was nervous, he no longer looked downstairs, but looked at the stairs.

The abandoned building was empty, and the sound seemed to be amplified.Those two people should have wandered around on the first floor, and the sound of footsteps soon went up to the second floor.

Although the footsteps were deliberately light, some noises could still be heard.

Gu Shi'an was nervous, just staring at the stairs.While looking around where there is a place to hide, so that when the two come over, they can hide.

However, Chen Xiao stood there motionless as if he was sure that the two of them would not come over.It's just that the sarcasm on the corner of his lips is stronger.

The two searched around downstairs, but for some reason they didn't go upstairs.After a slight noise downstairs, the sound of footsteps went downstairs again.Gu Shian breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them didn't stop, and quickly went to the parking place.

The two of them couldn't see anything upstairs, and they didn't know what they were doing when they came in.It wasn't until the two were far away that Gu Shi'an asked in a low voice: "Who is coming?"

In the middle of the night, where can I buy an abandoned building?Even if he didn't think about it, Gu Shi'an knew it was definitely not a good thing.

It's just that Chen Xiao specially called her over, it should have something to do with her.

Chen Xiao didn't answer her, and replied casually: "Don't worry."

The two had already left, and Gu Shi'an didn't know what she meant.She wanted to ask, but in the end she didn't say anything.

The figures of those two people quickly disappeared into the darkness, Gu Shi'an thought that Chen Xiao would leave.But no, he was still standing there.One pair of eyes was fixed on the parking place.

Gu Shi'an stood silently by the side, and after standing for a while, the car turned on the lights and left.Only then did she ask, "Are they still coming?"

Those people didn't leave, and Chen Xiao didn't intend to leave either.That means they will definitely come over.Just now, I just came over to check in.

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything anymore.When Chen Xiao mentioned waiting here, it was obviously to wait for the other party.Gu Shi'an was afraid that something bad happened to his mobile phone, so he turned off the mobile phone directly in his pocket.

The temperature in early winter has gradually dropped, and the wind from the upstairs window is strong, and Gu Shian's body is slowly becoming cold while waiting.

She wanted to find something to talk to Chen Xiao, but she couldn't find anything to talk about.

Chen Xiao was much calmer than her, and was not in a hurry.After standing in the dark for an unknown amount of time, the car restarted and drove towards this side.

The speed of the car was still slow, and it didn't turn off the engine when it got to the front of the building. Instead, it carried a large suitcase upstairs.Under the glare of the light, it was difficult to see the faces of the two of them clearly. When the two turned around, Gu Shi'an finally saw that the person among them was her second uncle, Gu Chengde.

Something faintly appeared in Gu Shi'an's mind, and she clenched her fists subconsciously.

Gu Chengde and the people around him did not enter the building, they looked around downstairs, and then lowered their voices and shouted: "Is anyone there?"

Naturally, no one replied to him.

Gu Shi'an looked up at Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao made a gesture to signal her to be calm and calm.

The two people downstairs were in a hurry. After waiting for a while, no one responded, so they called again immediately.

Still no one responded this time.Gu Chengde probably felt that he was being cheated, and swears some dirty words out of his mouth.Then he took out his cell phone and made a call.

Gu Shi'an originally thought that the phone was with Chen Xiao, but it didn't.Chen Xiao's cell phone is quiet.

Gu Chengde's call was not picked up until the last second. He was obviously impatient, lowered his voice and said angrily, "Where are you? I'm already here, and I've changed places twice. You guys What exactly do you want?"

Almost out of his wits, he raised his voice.

"What's the hurry, Mr. Gu? I'm already here." There should be a loudspeaker downstairs, and the sound rang out in the empty space.

Gu Chengde was obviously taken aback. Before he hung up the phone, the person on the other end said: "What's the hurry, Mr. Gu? You have to pay attention to the word integrity in everything you do. The reason for changing places twice is to Hello to all of us."

Gu Shi'an did not expect that there would be other people here besides himself and Chen Xiao.It's just that I don't know where the person is hiding. Gu Chengde and the others clearly came just now, but they didn't find anyone.

Chen Xiao wasn't surprised, obviously he knew there was someone in the first place.Gu Shi'an didn't move, just quietly listening to the conversation downstairs.

The person who knew Gu Chengde simply hung up the phone, and said to the dark building: "Since you are here, come out, I have brought the things."

The people in the building chuckled and said, "Mr. Gu is really amazing, 200 million yuan was raised in a short period of time."

Although he was flattering Gu Chengde in his words, he didn't mean to go out to meet him.

Gu Chengde remained silent.

The people inside paused, and continued to say: "Mr. Gu has always been smart, I can't believe it. Open the box and count it for me."

How could Gu Chengde think that the other party would not even see him after tossing a few times.He even didn't know what kind of request the other party would make after counting.He gritted his teeth and said, "I've come here according to your request, don't push yourself too far."

The man was also not a fuel-efficient lamp. He chuckled lightly and said, "Who gave me the capital to make progress? Mr. Gu refuses to open it, so the things inside are fake, right? If so..."

When he said this, he laughed and didn't go on.But it was threatening.

Gu Chengde will swallow his anger for a while, and won't ask anyone to do anything.He opened the suitcase he had brought over.Under the light of the car, there were stacks of pink RMB in the suitcase.

After he opened it, he stood up and said coldly, "Is this the next step?"

The people inside laughed again, and said: "Mr. Gu probably didn't understand what I mean. What I mean is overcounting. Although Mr. Gu has given out such a large sum of money, it won't be less. But I I have always been serious in my work. I am also afraid of being poor. To Mr. Gu, this money may not be considered a lot of money, but to me, it is a huge sum of money."

He speaks slowly and obviously doesn't care about annoying Gu Chengde.

Gu Chengde never thought that he would really let him do the counting. When the situation came to an end, he could only swallow his breath, took a deep breath, suppressed all the anger in his heart, and said: "It's worth buying such a sum of money." It will take a lot of time. I can assure you that I got the money out of the bank as soon as I withdraw it. Not a single penny is missing."

"Really?" The man said something. He thought he was going to say something else, but there was no more sound, and the building fell silent all of a sudden.

Gu Chengde's patience had reached its limit, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

There was still no sound from downstairs.After waiting for a minute or two, or even longer, the voice of the person inside rang again, saying: "I told you when I traded back then, please don't ask Mr. Gu who I am. Whether I am Anyone, as long as I take the money, I will go far away. I will never ask Mr. Gu for a second time. "

Gu Chengde's mind turned quickly, and he said coldly: "I don't even know who you are, you can ask me for a second time without asking me, but you can change your identity and ask for a second time."

The man did not refute this, but laughed and said: "It seems that Mr. Gu's money is quite easy to get."

Gu Chengde's face was ashen, and he didn't talk nonsense with him on this topic.Taking a deep breath, he asked, "Who are you?"

"Mr. Gu has to know that breaking the casserole and asking the end won't do Mr. Gu any good." The voice of the person inside was meaningful.After a slight pause, he continued: "Since Mr. Gu has come, it means that the news in my hand..."

I don't know if he was afraid of hearing what he said next or what, but before he finished speaking, Gu Chengde scolded: "Don't fart! Come out, come out right away!"

He was distraught.

Compared with him, the people in the building are very relaxed.He was not angry at all when he was scolded for farting. He smiled and said, "If I was farting, would Mr. Gu come here with so much money? I am very self-aware that my fart is not that valuable. "

Gu Chengde's face was ashen, he ignored his gags, and asked: "I have brought the money, how do you want to be more cheerful."

"If Mr. Gu had been so forthright earlier, we wouldn't have had to waste so much time talking." The person inside said something meaningful, and then continued: "Mr. Gu can leave now, and the money is left where it is."

What he said was simple and crisp.

Gu Chengde said without even thinking about it: "Impossible. I have already given you the money, but you also have to give me a guarantee."

The person who made the request was not surprised. He laughed and said playfully, "What kind of guarantee does Mr. Gu want me to give you? Write a letter of guarantee? Then I have to think about how to write it."

Such a thing as a guarantee letter has no effect at all.Gu Chengde was naturally clear, and immediately said: "The guarantee is useless."

"Really? Then what does Mr. Gu want?" His tone was easy to discuss.

Gu Chengde obviously thought about it long ago, and said: "Come out, we will sign the agreement."

The man chuckled, and said: "Signing the agreement is also useless. It seems that Mr. Gu must see me. So, Mr. Gu came here, and there is no sincerity."

He did not wait for Gu Chengde to speak, and continued as if talking to himself: "Mr. Gu knows that I don't have any evidence in my hand. What is there is just my mouth. If Mr. Gu insists on being strong Assurance, those few can only seal my mouth and make me completely dead."

He chuckled lightly at this point, and then said: "I just got the money, and I haven't squandered it properly, so how can I be willing to die?"

"You think too much, no one wants you to die." Gu Chengde's tone was cold, he paused, and said, "But you must at least let me know who you are. I don't want to be blackmailed twice or three times."

The people inside laughed lowly, and did not speak for a while.
