Song Shu was stunned by Qin Lou's words.
After a few seconds, she came back to her senses and covered Qin Lou's eyes with her hands. "What nonsense are you talking about? Close your eyes and rest. Don't let your mind wander."
"That incident back then—"
"That incident has nothing to do with you." Song Shu interrupted Qin Lou calmly and without question, and then she softened her tone, "I will investigate the participants and the masterminds of that incident. You have never participated in it and never knew about it, so that incident has nothing to do with you in the first place. It is us who have hatred to resolve and grievances to clear up, and this matter can only be done by us."
Qin Lou let Song Shu's hands close before his eyes, but he refused to close his eyes. The light that shone through the tiny gaps between her knuckles was dark red, and even the remaining darkness made him feel at ease.
But after listening to Song Shu's words, he felt a little nervous, "... You? Who are you with, Yu Yuntao or Yu Qisheng?"
Song Shu was silent for two seconds, somewhat helplessly, "Have you checked them?"
"..." Qin Lou laughed, with some resentment and unwillingness, "Of course I have to check your fiancé and his father."
"So how much did you find out?"
Qin Lou said nothing, "…"
Song Shu said: "Yu Qisheng told me yesterday that you went to his law firm last weekend."
"So what? He really tells you everything he knows..." Qin Lou's voice became gloomy at the end.
Song Shu smiled, "But I know you. You wouldn't go to someone you consider an enemy and bluff without any benefit or purpose. Also, the person I saw on the 22nd floor that day should be your informant or helper... Are you here to investigate Yu Qisheng?"
Qin Lou was silent for two seconds, then he uttered a light "tsk" in annoyance. He turned sideways in Song Shu's arms, turned outward, and muttered in a low voice, "You can guess what I do, but I have no idea what you do."
"Then don't know." Song Shu said, "Stop investigating Yu Qisheng. Don't investigate further, don't be curious, and don't delve into it further."
"Why?"
"Because it's a huge quagmire, Qin Lou. There's only an abyss beneath the quagmire, and there are dirty, vicious, man-eating beasts hiding in the abyss... They only care about profit, not humanity. For money, they can ignore regulations and trample on the law - and you are an outsider in this matter, and all this has nothing to do with you."
"Then what do you take me for?" Qin Lou asked in a muffled voice.
"… "
"You would rather cut off all contact between us than have me get involved - if that thing is really that dangerous, if something really happens to you, what would you let me do?"
"Qin Lou."
Song Shu's heart trembled. Although Qin Lou's voice was unusually calm at this time, and even the slightest fluctuation could not be heard, this made Song Shu's anxiety gradually accumulate - a madman is not scary when he is mad, but he is most scary when he is quiet, silent and restrained.
Qin Lou sat up.
Then he stood up from the sofa, turned around and walked towards his desk, with no emotion on his handsome face. "Since that's what you think, then choose the job you want and go."
"Qin Lou."
Song Shu reached out and held Qin Lou's hand, his voice filled with helplessness and bitterness.
Qin Lou stopped, blinked his eyes slightly, and then started moving again - her hand was ignored and abandoned by him as cruelly as possible.
Qin Lou walked to the desk, took out several project proposal reports that he had picked out in advance, and spread them out on the table one by one.
While doing these actions, he said quietly: "Do it with those who are related to you. It doesn't matter what you do. It doesn't matter how dangerous it is. Even if you die, what does it matter? It's not like you haven't died before."
"… "
Song Shu's figure froze.
Then she saw Qin Lou stop his hand. After a few seconds, he raised his arm to cover his eyes, turned his face away, and then his eyes slowly turned red.
With his back to her, Qin Lou laughed, but it sounded more like crying.
"It's not like I haven't died before."
"!"
The moment Song Shu understood Qin Lou's words, he felt a sudden dull pain in his chest, as if he had been hit directly in the heart by a heavy hammer.
It hit her so hard that she felt dizzy. Despair and sadness surged up at once, almost swallowing her up and drowning her, suffocating her and making her completely unable to breathe.
—What she dared not think about the most in these years was how Qin Lou would spend every sunrise and sunset. She only dared to ask him to live, but she knew that sometimes living was much more difficult than dying.
It's not like she hasn't experienced that kind of sadness before.
But she had no choice.
Her mother's death is her debt, and she is the only one who knows the real cause of Bai Song's death. For revenge, to clear the grievances, and for the truth to be revealed to the world one day... She cannot allow herself to make any mistakes.
Those people in the darkness knew about the relationship between Qin Lou and her, and their eyes had been fixed on Qin Lou all these years.
If she wanted to deceive them, the first thing she had to do was to deceive him.
—I died once.
—Me too.
She "killed" him with her own hands, for nine whole years.
Death is not scary.
The most terrible thing is to live without hope.
After a while, Song Shu finally found her voice again. She stood up and walked over, her fingertips shaking uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry, Qin Lou..."
Qin Lou turned around, slowly calming down his turbulent emotions, and whispered: "I have never blamed you, little clam. I know you didn't tell me because I couldn't decide what the ending would be... But I just wanted to help you. I didn't want to and couldn't just watch others stay by your side and take risks with you, while I could only watch."
"… "
Song Shu took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
After more than ten seconds, she finally said, "Okay."
Qin Lou suddenly looked up at her.
"But," Song Shu looked at Qin Lou with a resolute look, "If you have any ideas or actions, you must tell me - you can only do it with my consent."
Qin Lou didn't answer, but his eyes flickered slightly.
Song Shu noticed something and gritted his teeth. "If you are here to take the bullet for me, then I will think you are taking revenge on me, Qin Lou. Why didn't I tell you and Qiaoqiao? Because I only have you and her left in this world. You are the only two people I cannot lose while I am alive. You can't be so selfish. You can't ask me not to punish you with my safety, but you turn your safety into a knife hanging over my head!"
The emotions in Qin Lou's eyes subsided.
After a moment, he nodded slowly, "I promise you."
"… real?"
Qin Lou's lips curled up slightly, "Doll, doesn't the madman only listen to you?"
"good."
Song Shu sighed.
"I'm ready. Ask whatever you want to ask. I can answer everything you want to know."
Qin Lou thought for two seconds and said, "Tell me your next plan."
"… "
Song Shushen glanced at him. Then she walked to his side and flipped through the folders on the table.
She spoke while quickly searching to see if there was any information she needed.
"You already know about the archives room. Since you know Yu Yuntao, you probably have also found out his true identity."
"Qiao Tianbo, your mother's defense lawyer back then."
"..." Song Shu's hand stopped, and after a moment she smiled bitterly, "It's much more than that. If that incident hadn't happened back then, maybe I would have changed my tone towards him now and shouldn't call him uncle anymore."
Qin Lou's eyes darkened.
Song Shu turned his attention back to the incident. "So, apart from me, Uncle Yu was more eager for revenge than me. But he was very famous in the legal community at the time, and many people remembered his face. So he couldn't do all these things on the surface by himself, and had to leave it to me and Yu Qisheng."
"You checked those files on his behalf?"
"Yes. He has combined the accurate information he has collected over the years and learned that the senior executive of the Qin Corporation who first secretly testified against my mother in that case was instructed by someone..."
Qin Lou frowned, "Who is that senior executive? If it is Qin's, then except for your mother's confidants who were either implicated in the case or left on their own, most of the other senior executives are still in VIO..." Qin Lou paused, then understood, "So this is why you entered VIO."
Song Shu nodded, "Yes."
"Who is it?"
Song Shu was silent for two seconds, then unfolded the project report of an investment project team in his hand and placed it in front of Qin Lou.
She pointed to the signature below.
"Vio Capital's vice president in charge of the financial management center, investment development department, and information technology department, Lv Yunkai, is the biggest suspect."
Qin Lou's eyes darkened.
He frowned and picked up the document.
Saying all this relieved Song Shu's pressure suddenly. She slowly let down her guard and looked back.
Then Song Shu's figure suddenly stopped.
—Looking at the glass door of the general manager's office, Song Shu frowned.
Qin Lou turned around and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Song Shu raise his index finger to his lips.
Qin Lou was stunned for a moment, then turned around with Song Shu.
Ten seconds later,
The glass door of the office was suddenly opened from the inside.
Outside the door, Xu Jiajia, who was leaning slightly sideways, was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly raised the coffee in her hand.
She forced a slightly stiff smile.
"Miss Qin, I'm here to give you..."
"You are not allowed to leave."
Before Song Shu could finish his words, Qin Lou, wearing only a shirt, walked out from behind him.
His tie was loose and two buttons on his collar were undone, revealing his sharply-cut collarbone and neck.
Qin Lou hugged Song Shu from behind with a lazy look in his eyes. He leaned down slightly and kissed the woman's white neck between her soft hair, one after another, with an ambiguous sound of water.
Low sighs were heard in those gaps.
"Ignore her and let's move on, okay?"
The author has something to say: Song Shu: …
