After leaving the office building of Vio Capital and meeting at the designated location, Song Shu and Yu Qisheng rushed to Linshi, Q City overnight.
Yu Qisheng's father, Yu Yuntao, lives in the remote suburbs of Linshi, Q City. To be more precise, it is a rural town where even surveillance cameras have not been installed yet.
In order to ensure the secrecy of Yu Yuntao's residence, Yu Qisheng always rented a car when he went to visit his father. Even when he came to pick up Song Shu urgently this time, the two deliberately met in the next block. Song Shu confirmed several times that no one was following him before finding a place to put on sunglasses and masks.
At the agreed time and place, she had just reached the roadside when a strange car quickly stopped and Song Shu swiftly got into the back door of the car.
After getting in the car, Song Shu lay down in the back seat. Yu Qisheng drove the car on the overpass in Q City that could bypass the navigation system for thousands of degrees before finally driving in the direction of the real destination.
At the same time, he glanced at the back seat of the car through the rearview mirror and said, "Okay, no need to lie down."
"Is everything all right?"
"Yes, I have confirmed it." Yu Qisheng paused and asked, "Why are you so cautious tonight?"
Song Shu sat up and took off his mask, "I saw Aunt An in Vio today."
"Aunt An? Did she recognize you?"
"Um."
"Did she say anything?"
"There are people in the assistant secretary team that she doesn't trust. I also felt that someone was watching me when I was in the company tonight. That's why I just said to be more careful."
"Well, you're right to be on the safe side." Yu Qisheng said, "I haven't been able to talk to Aunt An face to face for many years. My dad probably wants to meet her too."
"Yes, after all, the three of them have been friends for so many years."
Yu Qisheng was stunned and turned back, "Sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up."
"Nothing." Song Shu smiled faintly. "My mother must have always been proud of having friends like Uncle Yu and Aunt An in her life."
Yu Qisheng lowered his eyes slightly and sighed silently.
Song Shu looked down at the bracelet on her wrist. As she raised her wrist, the time was automatically displayed on it. "It's so late now. We will probably arrive there in the early morning. Are you okay?"
"I have a meeting tomorrow afternoon. The rest of the things are not urgent. It's fine with me."
"That's good." Song Shu paused, "But Uncle Yu still has to stay up late with us. I feel really bad for making him live in a small village incognito for so many years."
Yu Qisheng frowned upon hearing this. "If you say so, then I'll have to scold you on behalf of my dad. You know how he feels about Aunt Bai. If that incident hadn't happened, they would have been most likely to be together. So in this matter, my dad's eagerness to get the truth out to the world and give Aunt Bai justice is no less than yours."
Song Shu lowered his eyes, "I know."
Yu Qisheng softened his tone, "Let's not talk about this. You must be tired. Why did you work overtime so late today? What happened in the company?"
"No." Song Shu shook his head.
"So Qin Lou is bothering you again?"
"… "
"I knew it." While Song Shu was silent, Yu Qisheng already knew what was going on. He frowned, "Hasn't he already confirmed your identity? Why is he still so ignorant?"
Song Shu paused, "He wants to help me."
Yu Qisheng understood, "You definitely didn't agree."
"This matter is too dangerous. Apart from the two people standing in the open, we have not even been able to identify the real leader and other participants... I don't want to involve anyone else."
"In this respect, you are as kind as Aunt Bai."
"Don't say that, I'll feel like you're scolding me." Song Shu joked.
Yu Qisheng was helpless, "When did kindness become an insult? Your ancestors would be so angry that they would jump out of their coffins."
"Kindness has a price." Looking at the night sky passing by outside the car, Song Shu's eyes flickered, like a candle flame blown by the wind. "I remember an old proverb in the West that says 'The road to hell is often paved with kindness.'"
—If the mother had not given that wolf-like scum a chance, how could he and the dark and twisted shadows behind him have allowed the darkness to devour the light
Yu Qisheng was silent for a long time, then asked, "What about heaven?"
“…” Song Shu turned back into the car.
Yu Qisheng repeated, "If the road to hell is paved with kindness, then where is the road to heaven?"
Song Shu was silent and shook his head.
"I don't know. I've been looking for it."
"Will you find it?"
"I will." Song Shu slowly clenched his hands, "I will definitely do it."
Just like the moment the sun rises at dawn tomorrow morning, the darkness covering the earth will be dispelled by the light.
She firmly believed that this deep-rooted old grievance would eventually be cleared up.
On Saturday afternoon, Yu Qisheng ended his video conference and sat in his office rubbing his temples with a headache.
He rushed to his father's residence last night. The small village was very remote and desolate. Because of the potholes and uneven terrain in the mountainous area, construction was very difficult, so there was only a dirt road leading into the village. The only section of cement road was also in disrepair. He and Song Shu were in the car as if they were playing with a go-go car when they were children.
But it was probably because this village was so remote that my father chose it.
Yu Qisheng rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.
Just as Yu Qisheng stood up and was considering whether to go into the inner room to rest for a while, the landline phone on his desk suddenly rang.
The caller ID showed the landline number of the law firm's front desk downstairs.
Yu Qisheng frowned and pressed the hands-free button.
"Didn't I say that I have a meeting this afternoon and that no one should be disturbed? Is there something wrong?"
"Mr. Yu, someone comes to the law firm to see you." The receptionist's voice sounded a little nervous.
Yu Qisheng frowned, sensing something unusual. "All the appointments for the afternoon have been postponed. Who would come at this time?"
"… "
On the first floor of the law firm, the receptionist looked at the handsome face with purple hair in the lounge across the street. She swallowed her saliva, turned around, lowered her voice, and said carefully, "The general manager Qin from Vio Capital."
Yu Qisheng was stunned.
After a few seconds, his brows were filled with anxiety, "Let him come up."
"You... you're not coming down?"
"No."
“… Hey.” The receptionist agreed with a headache, and when she hung up the phone, she was still looking at the microphone in confusion - when did their General Manager Yu become like a child? How could he still be angry with such a big client
Three minutes later.
Qin Lou stood in Yu Qisheng's office.
"How come Mr. Qin has time today to come to our law firm?"
Yu Qisheng stood up perfunctorily and looked at Qin Lou with an obviously unfriendly look.
Qin Lou didn't consider himself an outsider either. After coming in, he sat down on the armrest of the sofa with a carefree manner, then narrowed his eyes and looked at him slowly in a way that made Yu Qisheng very unhappy.
"I heard her tell me before how gentle and polite you are. After seeing you today... I really think you are not as worthy of your reputation as I expected."
Yu Qisheng glanced at Qin Lou sitting frivolously on the armrest of the sofa, frowning, "Then Mr. Qin is exactly like you in the rumors."
—Whether in the venture capital industry or inside and outside the Qin family, there are probably few good things said about Qin Lou.
Qin Lou didn't mind it at all. He even laughed, very wantonly, "What did you ask me just now?"
Yu Qisheng remained calm and asked, "What business does Mr. Qin have here?"
Qin Lou smiled: "I came to ask you for someone."
"Who?"
"Qin Qing."
"..." Yu Qisheng's face changed. He showed some signs of getting angry, but after a few seconds he slowly suppressed himself and sneered, "Qin Qing is now working in your company, what else does Mr. Qin want?"
"I don't want to assign her a job or position that has to be separated from her relationship with your law firm. I want to bring all of her work related to Vio into Vio. Mr. Yu, please name a price."
Yu Qisheng laughed angrily and stood up, "Boss Qin, do you think I'm a vegetable market?"
Qin Lou thought for a moment, "Small clams are only sold in seafood markets, right?"
"… "
Yu Qisheng didn't follow this sudden turn of thought at all. It was also the first time he encountered such a mentally ill "opposing lawyer". His face turned a little green for a moment.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I don't have any market here. If you want someone, go talk to Qin Qing yourself. Don't try to put pressure on her through me - I won't cooperate with you!"
"Really not willing?"
"Don't even think about it!"
"That's fine."
"…?"
Qin Lou got up from the sofa and seemed to be ready to leave. Yu Qisheng didn't react, and even looked blank for a moment because he couldn't figure out what this person was doing. He looked at Qin Lou's back.
Until Qin Lou stopped, "Oh, there's one more thing."
"…What's the matter?" Yu Qisheng asked vigilantly.
Qin Lou turned around and smiled brightly.
"Can you also transfer your engagement with Qin Qing to me?"
"!"
Yu Qisheng was really angry this time. He gritted his teeth and asked with a smile, "You want to buy a marriage contract? What is Mr. Qin going to give in exchange?"
The air was quiet for a few seconds.
The smile on Qin Lou's face gradually disappeared:
"My everything."
After a few seconds of silence, Yu Qisheng frowned, "Boss Qin, what exactly do you want to say today?"
Qin Lou said: "I know she has hidden many things from me, and perhaps has many plans to carry out. I also know that you know the past and the truth that I don't know - so I hope that if Ms. Yu thinks it through one day and feels that she actually needs a helper or support like me, she can talk to me."
Yu Qisheng was silent for a moment and shook his head. "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I can't agree to this on my own. Her business is her business. It is her freedom and right to decide how to do it. None of us has the right to interfere."
Qin Lou narrowed his eyes slightly, "From my impression, you law students are not so inflexible."
Yu Qisheng had no expression on his face: "There is no room for compromise in this matter."
"…Okay." Qin Lou nodded, "Then I only have one most basic request."
"What?"
Qin Lou slowly tightened his grip and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"If someone needs to do something one day in the future, then leave all the most dangerous things to me. You are not allowed to let her get involved."
The tone of this command made Yu Qisheng's face turn cold.
"Why should I listen to you?"
"Why?" Qin Lou laughed, unbridled, "Don't you like her? Is that why you have that bullshit engagement?"
"you… "
"I am the only one who died."
Qin Lou suddenly stopped laughing and interrupted Yu Qisheng expressionlessly—
"You have a chance to be with her."
"!"
Yu Qisheng's figure shook.
A few seconds later, looking at the closed door and the blurry figure going away, Yu Qisheng came to his senses and clenched his fists with gritted teeth.
“… Madman!”
