"elder brother… "
"Why don't you go back first? I'll stay and continue to investigate." Gong Yu said, "Anyway, I haven't aroused any suspicion here. Once Gwendolin dies, I will be promoted, and then I will have more opportunities to contact George."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian's head swelled, "Brother, we are here just to find you. Come back with us. Gong Ou is really worried about you."
Gong Yu sat there, looking at her with a pair of gray eyes, and remained silent for a long time.
After a long time, Gong Yu smiled to himself and said, "Xiao Nian, do you think I act impulsively and irrationally?"
Don't take your family's concerns seriously.
Shi Xiaonian pursed her lips and stood there and said, "Brother, in my eyes you have always been a very mature man. It is really too dangerous here. None of us are worried about leaving you here."
"Xiao Nian."
"Um."
"Over the years, I have been paying for my childish and impulsive actions." Gong Yu's smile became quite bitter, "I have never done anything for the Gong family, and I put all my responsibilities on my younger brother. , you have also seen the current situation. It is enough for the Gong family to have Gong Ou, and it can support them very well. Without me, I can still be of some value to the Gong family if I stay here."
He can help the Gong family clear away some hidden dangers.
When he returned, he was nothing more than a young master, living a life of eating and waiting for death under the protection of his younger brother.
"Brother, is that what you think?"
Shi Xiaonian asked, feeling a little unspeakable.
"This is a fact." Gong Yu withdrew his gaze from her, turned to look at the ray of sunshine outside the window, and said in a low voice, "I am the elder brother, the eldest son of the Gong family. I understand what I didn't understand back then. , What I didn’t do back then should be made up for now, otherwise what’s the point of my life?”
“…”
When Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Yu's figure, she realized what kind of mentality he had been living in the Gong family.
Because of an impulse in his youth, the man in front of him lived with heavy guilt every day. He felt guilty about Xi Yu, his mother, and Gong Ou.
"Xiao Nian, let's go." Gong Yu said, "Don't worry, I will act with caution."
At this point, pulling him away would be like forcing him into a cage. Feng De stood there, thinking that it would be without further ado, and wanted to call out to Xiao Nian, "Xiao Nian..."
"Brother." Shi Xiaonian suddenly opened her mouth, blocking Feng De's words about leaving. She slowly walked towards Gong Yu and stood in front of him.
Gong Yu raised his eyes and looked at her, silent.
"Maybe there are some things that you have never understood, brother." Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Yu with a look of blame in his eyes.
“…”
Gong Yu's eyes changed.
"Yes, Gong Yu is no longer so important to the Gong family, but what about Gong Ou?" Shi Xiaonian asked, "Have you ever thought about how important this person named Gong Yu is to Gong Ou?" How important is it?"
Gong Yu sat there stiffly, looking at her blankly.
"When I was young, my brother's back was the greatest sense of security for Gong Ou. When I grow up, the unspoken words of admiration for my brother are the eternal pain in Gong Ou's heart." Shi Xiaonian whispered, "Gong Ou developed the NE mobile phone. I didn't know him when he was working on the system, but I believe that the word "Gong Yu" was his biggest motivation during those days and nights where he forgot about food and sleep."
“…”
Gong Yu lowered his eyes, his eyes red.
"What Gong Ou wants has always been very simple. It's not that any of us have done anything for him. As long as we don't break the appointment, as long as we don't leave and don't make him panic." Shi Xiaonian said, "Do you think Gong Ou is stronger now? , but to you, he is still the younger brother who needs his elder brother's shoulder. As soon as you disappear, he will be in the same panic as when you let him go. "
"do not talk."
Gong Yu interrupted her and covered his face with his slender hands, his eyes already extremely red.
"As long as our family is together, no matter how many Georges there are, we can face it together, right?" Shi Xiaonian said.
Hearing this, Gong Yu closed his eyes deeply and compromised with her, "Okay, I'll go back with you."
This compromise meant that all his long-term deployment in Lancaster was in vain. He would soon be able to contact George's side and had to give up.
Shi Xiaonian breathed a sigh of relief. If she couldn't convince Gong Yu today, she couldn't imagine what Gong Ou's face would be like.
"Then you sit down for a while. I'll go down and explain some things clearly and then leave with you openly, otherwise it will be troublesome to leave." Gong Yu stood up and said, since he decided to leave together, he should leave quickly to avoid any complications.
"Um."
Shi Xiaonian nodded vigorously and showed a big smile.
"Look at you, you have become so eloquent now." Gong Yu smiled, turned and left.
Shi Xiaonian sat down on the chair and couldn't wait to take out her mobile phone to call Gong Ou. Gong Ou must be very happy.
The bell rang and no one answered.
Shi Xiaonian's smile gradually disappeared from her face, and she sent a message to Gong Ou in a depressed tone:
Don't you have your phone with you? We'll be back in a minute.
Three minutes passed, and Shi Xiaonian still didn't receive a reply or call from Gong Ou. She shook her phone and began to wonder if the signal at Lancaster Manor was not working.
What on earth is Miyao doing
"Okay, I understand." After Feng De hung up the phone, he walked up to Shi Xiaonian and said with a smile, "Don't look so gloomy. The young master is going to say goodbye to George. You must not answer the phone on such an occasion."
"Oh." Shi Xiaonian nodded in understanding, and then said in confusion, "But... Gong Ou never answers my calls regardless of the occasion."
As long as it wasn't intentional, when did Gong Ou not answer her call instantly? He is a talented person who can pick up whatever he wants no matter what the situation is.
"Well, maybe it's because George is here and I'm afraid you'll spill the beans about the young master."
Feng De tried hard to give a reasonable explanation.
"All right."
Shi Xiaonian reluctantly accepted this explanation, but kept tapping on her phone, feeling a little depressed. She clicked on the news with her fingertips, and the news about Mona's anniversary festival was overwhelming.
Because this anniversary festival opened up some reporter time, it turned into a carnival with pictures and "truths". Several hot spots were released every day, providing enough food for people to talk about after dinner.
Shi Xiaonian clicked on a few items, and they were all related to her. The reappearance of Mona's soul was exaggerated vividly, Gwendelin's death was covered in mystery, and there were also photos of her and Gwendolen's conversation at the previous banquet, which were metaphorical. The meaning is quite obvious.
Every one of Mona's articles has her name on it, but Gong Ou doesn't get this treatment.
Fortunately, she doesn't care about this, and fortunately, Gong Ou is much calmer in dealing with things this time than before. In the past, he would have gone berserk after seeing these news...
before.
When Shi Xiaonian was thinking about it, her heart suddenly trembled, "Father, didn't Gong Ou have someone clean up these news?"
Feng De said truthfully, "Of course there is, but this anniversary celebration is too high-profile, and it is difficult for all online media to block it. We can only wait until the anniversary celebration is over, and these news gradually lose their color."
It turns out it cannot be sealed.
Shi Xiaonian bit her finger and stared at the sensational news headlines on the phone screen, and suddenly thought of Gong Ou's face when she came down the stairs in the morning.
At the anniversary festival, everything happened to her. In the past, Gong Ou would never have been so calm, but this time, he didn't even drop a pen, and chose the most unlikely way to escape. the road…
So abnormal.
"Father." Shi Xiaonian couldn't sit still anymore, "You wait here for brother, I'll go find Gong Ou."
"The young master asked us to go back to the East District directly."
Feng De looked at Shi Xiaonian in confusion.
"I'm a little worried about him."
Shi Xiaonian didn't have time to explain to Feng De, she just brushed his shoulder and rushed out of the door, rushed downstairs, walked out of Gwendelin's house, took all the bodyguards and left in a hurry.
Gong Ou... shouldn't do stupid things, right
No, no, he is indeed different now from before, and he will definitely be calmer in dealing with things. This is normal, yes, this is normal.
Don't worry, don't worry blindly.
Shi Xiaonian tried her best to convince herself in her heart, but she felt extremely uneasy while sitting in the car. Her fingers were twisted together until they turned white, and her eyes kept looking out the window, urging the driver to drive faster.
This was the first time that Shi Xiaonian came to the main building of the manor. The main building was larger and more luxurious than any other house in the manor. The courtyard alone was enough to open a pasture.
The surrounding area is heavily guarded, with bodyguards on duty everywhere.
The chilling atmosphere was as if someone would be forced to move around if a gust of wind blew in.
When Shi Xiaonian got off the car, surrounded by many bodyguards, she raised her eyes to look at the tall buildings deep in the courtyard, her brows furrowed tightly.
With so many bodyguards, Gong Ou would not do anything stupid, and he would not have the chance to do anything stupid, otherwise he would risk his own life.
Thinking of this, Shi Xiaonian wanted to leave.
She turned around and wanted to get into the car, when suddenly a gunshot sounded in the distance, which was so clear in her ears that it almost sounded close to her eardrums.
"boom."
Shi Xiaonian's face turned pale instantly, and the words Gong Ou said to her a long time ago suddenly echoed in her ears.
"Either I will protect you with my own chest; or I will protect you with the corpses on the ground."
"I want to add my life to your Shi Xiaonian's life. If I can't add it, I will use my life as a stepping stone for you, so that you can live well!"
With the sun above her head, Shi Xiaonian suddenly turned her head to look towards the Lord. The sunlight almost made her dizzy. Her feet softened and she was about to fall down.
With the sound of gunfire, there was chaos in front of the main building. Many bodyguards rushed in, followed by the sound of alarms.
Shi Xiaonian looked at this scene with a pale face, and his ears were full of what Gong Ou had said.
don't want.
Gong Ou, don't be impulsive or act recklessly.
I forgot how long it had been before Shi Xiaonian walked forward with weak legs, and a group of bodyguards followed her closely. (To be continued)
