Forced into the Deep - v2 Chapter 20
Xing Zhongwan sent Qi Yun out of the door, the wind was blowing and there was a drizzle. Qi Yun looked at Xing Zhongwan calmly in her dark coat, “Then I’m leaving.”
Xing Zhongwan nodded, “Be careful on the road.”
Qi Yun gave him a deep look and turned to walk towards the car that was parked not far away. The tall and straight back suddenly stopped but did not look back, “Take care of yourself.”
Xing Zhongwan said good, and Qi Yun’s shoulders shook a little and strode into the car. The bodyguard beside the car bent towards Xing Zhongwan.
Xing Zhongwan watched the long motorcade leave slowly, and the old man standing beside him smiled, “That gentleman’s face is a bit mean and unsympathetic, but once he likes it, it will last a lifetime.”
Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a moment, there was still a wet touch on his shoulders, he couldn’t help raising his hand to touch his shoulders and stopped in a funny way.
Qi Yun sat in the car and watched Xing Zhongwan in the rearview mirror gradually disappear from sight. There was a delicate box on the car, Qi Yun opened it and found a repaired jade bracelet with phoenix pattern inside. He still didn’t give out the bracelet, Qi Yun held the box and closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair.
Seeing him, the secretary knew that he and Xing Zhongwan had broken down. I felt a little pity for Qi Yun, but I was fortunate that nothing could go wrong at this juncture.
Qi Yun had offended General Chen last time. He was already somewhat dissatisfied with Qi Yun and even publicly supported other candidates in some public occasions.
Recently, someone made a fuss about Qi Yun throwing his biological mother in a sanatorium without asking any questions. Even the old thing that Qi Yun did not show up at the funeral of Qi Si was pulled out.
Qi Yun himself didn’t react much, and even the Shen family sent someone to contact him privately to discuss how to deal with it.
How could Secretary Qi Yun not be clear about his thoughts after following him for so many years. What was he doing so hard to climb up for?
But now that Qi Yun had lost the belief that had supported him for many years, it would be meaningless to take a step forward. But at this point, it is no longer a question of whether he wants to move forward, and the intricate interest relationship below cannot be stopped if Qi Yun wants to stop.
The secretary looked at the thin man with pity in his eyes.
“There is a meeting in the afternoon, did you push it?”
Qi Yun closed his eyes and did not speak.
The secretary gritted his teeth, and he had to say something, “Sir, the current situation can be made a big deal if there is a little trouble. If you want to protect the young lady, you must not stop at this time, at least… At least you have to wait for him. Go back to Country X.”
The secretary looked at Qi Yun nervously after speaking in one breath, with fine sweat on his forehead. He had never dared to say such words before, but now Qi Yun’s state is really not good. If people take advantage of this at this time… …
“No need to push.” Qi Yun opened his eyes and closed the box, “Send someone to protect him well before returning to Country X late in the evening. Be a little secretive. He never likes being followed, so don’t take him out of my business. It’s getting involved.” Qi Yun’s beautiful eyes were always dark blue due to years of insomnia, and their eyes were seldom charismatic. After meeting with Xing Zhongwan today, they were as deep as a handful of stagnant water, which was depressing.
“Actually, I don’t think you and the young lady have no hope at all.” The secretary felt that he said a lot of outrageous things today, and this sentence was not bad. He knew that Qi Yun liked a man from the time he came to Qi Yun’s side. He went from being surprised at the beginning to accepting until he saw Xing Zhongwan. This man is good enough to ignore gender, and he is a person who can be hated by everyone. Their former secretary didn’t know, but he saw Qi Yun’s dedication and hard work for so many years. He hoped that they would have a good ending, even if it was difficult.
Qi Yun touched the string of Buddha beads on his wrist. He has kept it well for so many years, and he has always cherished the things that he handed to him every night.
“I didn’t understand it before, but now I understand that liking someone is not possession. Even if I’m not together, I can feel happy as long as I know that the other person is doing well. He said that I deserve the best, so why doesn’t he? He is the kindest, no matter how bad I am, I can’t bear to say a serious word to me. How can I be worthy of him. I already brought him in five years ago, and now I can’t let him go because of my obsession. He slipped into this bottomless vortex.”
The secretary sighed, but it wasn’t because of deep affection.
Qi Yun felt a pain in his heart when he remembered the little water stains on the floor of the box. Late night, even if you don’t believe me anymore, you still can’t bear to see me sad, thinking that my approach to you will affect my career, and I’m not afraid that you will become a target for others to slander me.
It’s okay not to see you, as long as I know you’re doing well, that’s enough…
On the 3rd, he received a call from Secretary Qi Yun and introduced him to a hospital specializing in medical examinations. On the 3rd, she told her boss about this matter, and Xing Zhongwan asked her to write down the appointment time to check. No. 4 was reporting his work and looked at No. 3 while taking advantage of the neutral position. Mr. Qi has not been here for a long time. In the past, the frequency of showing his face every day was considered a long time without being seen for three or four days.
They had a good impression of Qi Yun, and they looked indifferent to the boss. They saw it more than once, he looked at Xing Zhongwan and smiled secretly, but they thought it was impossible for them to see the boss’s attitude.
Xing Zhongwan closed the document and moved his neck, “It’s been almost half a month, and Zhong Gang is almost healed, so we’re going to go back.”
No. 3 flipped through the itinerary, “Boss, do you want to go to Jiangnan the day after tomorrow? The secretary of your house, Mr. Qi, called and said that he wanted to return it to you.”
Xing Zhongwan thought for a while, “It’s useless for me to keep that house, so I’ll give it to Qi Yun.”
No. 3 neatly wrote it down in his notebook, Xing Zhongwan took two steps back and forth and suddenly turned around, “Book a flight to Jiangnan tomorrow, I haven’t gone back for a long time, and I don’t know when I will come back next time.”
Zhong Gang, who had been recuperating in the hospital for half a month, finally returned to the company. On the day Zhong Gang returned to the company, Xing Zhongwan took the two secretaries to Jiangnan very smartly.
The old house was well managed, and the servants in it were surprised when they saw Xing Zhongwan, but the young master came back. Xing Zhongwan walked around the old house. Qi Yun had really put a lot of effort into this old house over the years. Xing Zhongwan lowered his head and smiled, saying goodbye to the servants in the old house. He actually had no nostalgia for this house, but that person took care of it like a treasure. Xing Zhongwan shook his head and took a deep look at the moment he stepped out of the door.
Xing Zhongwan respectfully put on incense in the temple. He may not have been here for a long time. The most recent time, he accompanied Qi Yun to come here to pray, hoping that his operation would be successful, and remembering how he looked at that time, Xing Zhongwan was light With a snort, he always thought that he was quite clever, but his intelligence was taken away by the dog when facing Qi Yun, and now I still feel embarrassed in retrospect. What is the mood.
Xing Zhongwan got up from the futon and added peace oil. I wanted to offer a safety lamp, but when I entered the small room at the back, I just wanted to put the lamp on, and I saw Xing Zhongwan’s name under the safety lamp in a row. Xing Zhongwan’s hand holding the lantern almost slipped. He recognized the handwriting. The bold strokes didn’t match the face, but why are there so many safety lanterns with his name written on it? Qi Yun confessed. of?
I remember him saying that he didn’t believe this many years ago, why?
There are many hand-copied Buddhist scriptures on the side. Xing Zhongwan recognized the words on it and couldn’t help but went forward and turned it over. After this turn, he found that there were many. Xing Zhongwan’s hand didn’t dare to turn it over again, he was a little scared, and he didn’t dare to verify what Qi Yun did.
A volunteer came in at the door to help. Seeing Xing Zhongwan stunned in front of the lampstand, he thought he didn’t understand something, and approached him to ask him if he needed help.
Xing Zhongwan didn’t speak, and the volunteers followed his line of sight to see the lamps and Buddhist scriptures.
“You are also shocked by this. I have some impressions of this gentleman who offers lamps. He always comes once or twice a year, and every time he comes, he offers a lamp. He said that it is for his lover in the distance. May he be safe Healthy. He copied those Buddhist scriptures too. He said that he had done too many sins in his life, and he deserved the retribution, but he was afraid that the people he loved would also suffer. If you want to do some merit and eliminate karma, it is not easy to copy this book. It’s easy, the heart is sincere, and the obsession is deep.”
Xing Zhongwan didn’t know how he got out of the temple. His mind was full of the words of the volunteers. He understood the good voice of Qi Yun in the box of the small building that day.
Not only did he promise not to meet again in the future, but he also didn’t want Xing Zhongwan to be entangled in the unpleasant memories of the past.
It’s not that Xing Zhongwan didn’t see the news about him in the past few days, and someone targeted him. These old and rotten things broke out at an important juncture of the general election to smear him. What is it?
This is the usual method in the circle, Qi Yun is unavoidable, and whoever is in a high position is not fighting to the death and blood dripping.
Qi Yun was haggard, Xing Zhongwan was not blind, he could see it. Those tired eyes can only see the relaxation that reaches their hearts when they see themselves.
He didn’t say it, but he knew that Qi Yun was already very tired on this road, but at this point, he couldn’t just quit if he wanted to.
He didn’t want to cause trouble for Qi Yun, and Qi Yun wanted to involve himself in this endless struggle.
Xing Zhongwan raised his head and looked at the cloudy sky, Qi Yun, all I can do now is not to be a burden to you, watch you go to that position, and bless you faithfully.
A little drizzle started to rain in the sky. On the 3rd, Xing Zhongwan held an umbrella. Xing Zhongwan got into the car and the phone rang. It was Shen Congxin, Xing Zhongwan frowned and thought about it and pressed the answer.
On the other end of the phone, Shen Congxin’s voice trembled, “Brother Zhongwan, my eldest cousin is in the hospital, and now the Shen family is in chaos, what should I do? If something happens to my eldest cousin, what should I do, what should I do with the Shen family? ?”
Shen Congxin couldn’t help crying when she said the last sentence.
Xing Zhongwan frowned and sank, “Why did you go to the hospital? Make it clear.”
Shen Congxin wiped his tears and looked at Qi Yun, who was still in a coma on the hospital bed, “Now it is said that my eldest cousin has been working hard and has been recuperating in the hospital, but in fact, he was stabbed when he came out of the event site this morning, and the security is so strict that there are still people in the room. Come in, we have a problem inside. I have no one to discuss, I… What should I do, Brother Zhong Wan. My cousin is not out of danger yet, I… “
Xing Zhongwan clenched the phone beside his ear and tried to calm himself down, “Don’t worry now, I’ll go back right now, and I’ll ask Zhong Gang to come to the hospital. He can be trusted. You can find him first if you have anything.”
Xing Zhongwan put down the phone and handed over a handkerchief on the 4th. Xing Zhongwan opened the car window and the cold wind blew only to find that there was cold sweat on his forehead.
The phone in his hand was soaked with sweat from his hand, and the words “not out of danger” were all in his mind. Xing Zhongwan’s heartbeat was so fast that even No. 3 beside him couldn’t help asking if he was uncomfortable.
Xing Zhongwan made up his mind and couldn’t be chaotic now. Picking up the phone and pressing Xue Qing’s number, “Where are you now?”
Xue Qing said, “In country T, what happened?”
“It only takes 4 hours to fly over. Xue Qing will take the fastest plane to come back, and leave everything at hand to Lao Cheng.”
Xue Qing, who was still in the bed, immediately looked serious, “I’ll book the ticket now, no matter what happens, don’t worry.”
Having known each other for more than ten years, Xing Zhongwan’s tone was wrong and Xue Qing knew that something had happened.
Xing Zhongwan’s whole body was relieved, and the moment he heard Xue Qing say don’t worry, his eyes quickly turned red.
“Thank you.”
Xue Qing was not in the mood to tease him anymore, so he hung up the phone and went to pack his luggage.
During the period, the phone rang, and when Xue Qing packed up and dragged his suitcase to see the news, the expression on his face changed instantly.
Zhong Gang: Something happened to Qi Yun!
