The name Gao Ran is easy to remember. Lai Yang murmured a few words before leaving.
The man was still sitting beside the reeds, his back was so lonely.
Perhaps he will sit there for a long time, and his past will be crushed in the lonely sunset, until the sunlight disappears completely and turns into a lamp in the empty room.
…
Following the asphalt road beside Zhuozaobang, Lai Yang walked towards the subway entrance step by step, thinking as he walked.
To be honest, although I don’t know Gao Ran’s story, I somehow feel that there is some overlap between his story and mine.
And what if, one day in the future, I become the next Gao Ran, how desperate my life would be.
Lai Yang raised his head and let out a long breath. Just as he reached into his pocket to take out a cigarette, Sister Wei called.
After staring at the notes on his phone for a few seconds, Lai Yang took a deep breath and answered the call.
"Sister? Are you in Shanghai again?"
"What do you mean again? Do you dislike me?"
Sister Wei sneered back, her tone sounding a little low, "Okay, I'll call you. Did I just see you fighting for President Tian on a short video? You two were even on the hot search, did you know that?"
Lai Yang felt his scalp tingling, licked his dry lips and said, "Is the video not removed yet?"
"I just saw that the main video has been removed, but there are many screen recordings and edited videos online. What happened?"
"… "
Lai Yang was in a terrible mood. He squatted on the side of the road, grabbed his hair with one hand, cursed a few words in his heart, and then roughly explained what happened.
But Lai Yang did not let anything slip about Yu Lie's identity.
"Forget it. You should try to calm President Tian down first. But seriously, if her relationship with Yun Bin is exposed, the company will be greatly affected. Why are you so impulsive?" Sister Wei complained.
"Alright, sister, stop talking. I'm at the Zhuo Zao River right now, ready to jump into the river and die to atone for my sins."
"Ah? Oh, that's not necessary. Let me help you with this. My friend knows the operations director of this short video platform in Shanghai. I asked him to say hello and have all the related videos removed."
Hiss~
Lai Yang stood up suddenly, holding his phone tightly, his face full of shock!
Sister Wei smiled and promised that Lai Yang owed her a favor in this matter, and asked him to think carefully about how to repay him.
"Thank you, sister. What do you think if I show you the breaststroke?" Lai Yang joked.
"Haha, I want to see you diving.
The kind that can’t come up after going down.”
"Hahaha… "
After expressing his gratitude, Lai Yang asked tentatively.
"There's one more thing, sister. I want to ask you about Feng Mining in Zhoushan. Have you heard of it?"
Sister Wei was silent for a few seconds, and her voice gradually became quieter.
“…Where did you hear that name?”
"Well, a friend of mine has a family member who used to work in this company, so I just asked."
After Lai Yang said this, he looked up at the sky in the distance. It was almost six o'clock, but the clouds at the end of the sky blocked the sunset that was supposed to appear, and not even the light could penetrate.
The lights on the roadside were the first to light up, casting circles of light on the empty asphalt road. The wind whistled past my ears, blowing the dead leaves on the ground and making the environment seem even quieter.
“Feng Mining… is the predecessor of Yu Ke Group. Although the legal representative of the company was not a member of the Yu family at that time, it was actually Yu Bo’s father who was in charge. After Yu Ke was established, the company was cancelled. But people in the industry know what happened.”
Lai Yang's mouth opened slightly, and thoughts were colliding wildly in his brain!
"Why are you asking this?" Sister Wei pressed, "Does your friend have a dispute with Feng Mining?"
"... A little bit, sister... I, you must not tell anyone what I asked you."
"Haha, you're even on guard against me? Besides, what did you tell me? Everyone in Zhoushan knows what's going on with Feng Mining, and..."
Sister Wei was hesitant to talk, and Lai Yang was anxious to ask her. Unexpectedly, Sister Wei turned the tables and said that if he wanted to know the secret, he would have to exchange it for the secret.
After some hesitation, Lai Yang gritted his teeth and told Jia Qi about it.
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, the other end let out a long sigh and said, "No wonder, at that time, Feng Mining was deregistered because someone was killed, and later it was suppressed by the local top leader. It turns out that... the person in the accident was your friend's father?"
Lai Yang's head was buzzing.
He kind of regretted telling it out, because then Jiaqi was exposed!
But the reason why he dared to say it was that Sister Wei was not on good terms with the Yu family; secondly, Lai Yang also wanted to get more information from her, so he had to take a gamble.
"Feng is the white glove of the Yu family. They used this company to develop when they were growing wildly. Later, when the funds and connections accumulated to a certain level, they transformed and became the famous enterprise they are today, Yu Ke Group. Because the legal person is different and information was not well developed back then, few people know about it."
Laiyang squatting on the road
After hearing what Sister Wei said, he asked impatiently.
"So, sister, what is the secret you were about to tell me?"
"... Actually, I wanted to say this a while ago, but I didn't know how to start... After all, I can't help you, and you're pretty pitiful."
"Oh, sister! Tell me now, if you keep beating around the bush I'll go diving and I won't be able to come out!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I heard about this from others... That is, Yu Bo's father, Yu Ninghui, has been secretly investigated by the government since the beginning of the year. Because the top leader who has been protecting him all these years has completely fallen, so..."
"Wait a minute, sister! Is your information... reliable? Who told you this?"
"That was the one who sat in the first row when you performed in Zhoushan last time. You even joked that he had combed his hair like an adult."
Lai Yang thought for a few seconds and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"That bald leader! Then, then... I remember you said... he is the deputy mayor?"
"Well, he's the mayor now, second in command, and he's managed to style his hair to look like second in command."
"… "
Lai Yang felt his throat dry up for a while, and he swallowed several times before he trembled and said, "So, this is basically true?"
"Well, and... I think the cooperation between Yu Ke and Yun Bin may not be that simple. Under normal circumstances, Yu Ninghui is also aware of his situation. Why does he still have the energy to expand cooperation at this time? It's very strange. I don't understand the reason."
"… "
Lai Yang sat down on the ground.
Sister Wei didn't understand it, but he suddenly figured it out.
I originally thought that the Yu family wanted to support Yun Bin just to benefit Yu Bo.
Now it seems that I was too naive.
Because Tian Jing said in person that her stepmother is the daughter of a certain big boss, and Yu Ninghui's real purpose is to marry Yun Bin and seek protection...
At this moment, Jiaqi, Yu Bo, Tian Jing, and myself were completely caught in a huge vortex of contradictions.
Whoever wants to escape from the vortex has to step on the corpse of another person...
Now that I have understood the relationship rules of this game of chess first, what should I do next
Lai Yang hung up the phone in a daze. At this moment, a cool breeze blew from the reed marsh not far away, and a little water vapor sprinkled on his face, and the cool air penetrated his heart.
The dark clouds that had been brewing for an entire afternoon finally erupted with a dull thunder in the deepest part.
Boom!
It's like the opening gongs and drums of a purgatory game...
