Chapter 38

—Are you threatening me?

—Are you threatening me?

—Are you threatening me?

Gu Liuguang played the contents of the recorder repeatedly like a machine.

Really, did Yan Dongting do it?

"Are you okay?" Gude asked cautiously, seeing that he was about to collapse.

Gu Liuguang stopped playing, turned his eyes to the USB flash drive on the table, looked at it quietly for a while, and then picked it up.

Gude was startled, and said, "You, do you really want to do what that woman said?"

Gu Liuguang looked at the thing quietly lying in his hand, was silent for a while, and said, "If this is true, why can't I do this?"

"But I don't believe that woman would be so kind to ask you to cooperate. Don't you know what kind of person she is?" Gude thought of the smile on Gu Jie's face, and felt his heart shudder. He intuitively felt that the recording The pen is a trap, and the USB flash drive is also a trap. "Have you ever thought about the possibility that this recording is fake?"

Gu Liuguang looked at him, his eyes full of depression: "Fake? But it's indeed his voice, there's nothing wrong with it."

"But Yan Dongting didn't answer that question, did he? Besides, the recording is so short, it's obviously been edited! As long as there is software, such an edit can be easily done! I think Yan Dongting must have said something later, otherwise Gu Jie would not have cut it off. If this is really a language trap, don't fall into her trap just because you hate Yan Dongting!"

Yeah?is that so?Can Goode's words be believed?

Gu Liuguang looked closely into Gude's eyes.Since he met Gude, he has been trying his best to help him, encourage him, think about him everywhere, and send him infinite comfort and laughter without interruption.If there was anyone in this world that he trusted unconditionally, it would only be Gude.

But why did Gude speak for Yan Dongting?

As if he knew what Gu Liuguang was thinking, Gu De hurriedly said: "I just think there are too many doubts in it! Think about it, with the relationship between the two of them, if he really asked someone to take the photo, then How can a woman get the photo? Isn't she afraid of being discovered by Yan Dongting if she goes to you with the photo? If he really took the photo, why would he need to do anything else, just threaten you and let you Isn't it more once and for all to be with him?"

Gu Liuguang recalled what Gu Jie said when he threatened him with the photo, and his face changed again and again.

Of course, he also doubted whether Yan Dongting asked someone to take the photo, but Yan Dongting could not cooperate with Gu Jie, but he also knew it.Yan Dongting hated that woman just like him, otherwise he wouldn't have helped him get her into prison.

"Think about it carefully, among those people back then, was there anyone who knew about your relationship with Yan Dongting, and had any quarrel with one of you?"

Following Gude's words, Gu Liuguang frowned, recalling carefully.

The crew of "That Summer" should have known about his relationship with Yan Dongting back then, because he was taken away from the wrapping banquet by Yan Dongting back then, but he was so drunk at the time that he couldn't remember anything clearly. All he knew was that when he woke up, he found himself hugged naked by Yan Dongting, his body was full of embarrassment marks, and there was some kind of medicinal power left in his body...

Afterwards, he found Zeng Kai who was deliberately avoiding him and asked him angrily what was going on at the finale banquet. Zeng Kai said——

【After Mr. Yan came, he saw that you were a little drunk, so he drank you a few more glasses, and then took you away.He threatened us not to tell you about it or he would take revenge on us.Xiao Gu, I think you are a good boy, stay as far away from him as you can, he is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, you can't afford to waste him. 】

Because of these words, he and Yan Dongting completely turned against each other.After Yan Dongting knew about it, he gave up investing in Zeng Kai's new movie and began to suppress Zeng Kai.

If we want to talk about festivals, then Zeng Kai and Yan Dongting must have festivals.

Gu Liuguang was startled, and then suddenly remembered that after Gu Jie was imprisoned, Zeng Kai was also imprisoned on suspicion of drug smuggling and drug trafficking.This incident also caused quite a stir at the time, and a wave of anti-drug scandals among entertainers arose.

At that time, he thought it was Yan Dongting's revenge on Zeng Kai because he knelt down to Zeng Kai for help, and because of this, he satirized Yan Dongting's cruelty, cold-bloodedness, and ruined other people's lives.

Could it be that there are other twists and turns in this?

Gu Liuguang quickly grabbed Gu De, and said eagerly: "I want to find out what happened back then! I want to know who took the photo!"

His strength was great, like a drowning man catching driftwood, and there was a little bit of hope in his despair.

"Okay, don't worry, let's go to Tang Qian, he has a lot of contacts, and he will definitely find a solution!" Gu De said soothingly, helped Gu Liuguang tidy up the things on the table, and pulled him to get up and walk out in a hurry .

Tang Qian happened to be resting today. When Gu De and Gu Liuguang found him, he was exercising in his home gym.

After wiping off the sweat from his body and putting on clean clothes, Tang Qian poured two cups of hot tea for the two of them, sat down on the sofa, and asked, "What's the matter, why do you two look so ugly?"

Goode glanced at his muscles enviously, and said, "Do you still remember that I lost my mobile phone a while ago?"

"Of course I remember, I told you to be careful." Tang Qian said, leaning on the back of the chair and crossing his arms.

Gude coughed twice in embarrassment: "It's an accident, I don't want to." Then his face became serious, "The mobile phone was taken by Liu Guang's mother, Gu Jie."

Tang Qian said in shock: "It's her?" Thinking of the back figure he saw outside the hospital, he said, "So——she knows?"

Goode nodded: "She knew I was not Liu Guang, and threatened us with this secret to cooperate with her."

"What does she want to do?" Tang Qian's face became serious.

Gu Liuguang silently took out the USB flash drive and recording pen and put them on the table.

"She brought this." Gu Liuguang said.

Tang Qian picked up the recording pen and pressed the play button, and the conversation rang out again in the room.

After listening to the recording, Tang Qian narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Liuguang, and asked meaningfully, "What do you think?"

"I want to find out who took the photo." Gu Liuguang said expressionlessly.

Tang Qian couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said softly: "Okay, I'll check this for you, but because it happened seven years ago, it may take some time to find out." Gu Liuguang finally didn't believe the recording immediately , is this considered an improvement?

"...Don't disturb him." Gu Liuguang hesitated for a moment and said.

Tang Qian said: "I know, I will avoid him." After speaking, he pointed to the USB drive and said, "What is this?"

Gu Liuguang was silent for a while before repeating Gu Jie's words.

For a moment, the huge room was eerily silent.

After a long time, Tang Qian whispered: "If I find out that he took the photo, are you really going to make him lose everything as your mother said?"

Gu Liuguang closed his eyes, suppressed his voice and said, "Even if he really has nothing, it's his retribution."

"Then what if it wasn't taken by him?" Tang Qian sighed, "Are you going to do the same?"

Gu Liuguang didn't speak.

As if he had guessed his answer, Tang Qian sighed again: "If you really want to do it, he won't be the only one who will fall down, everyone in Dongtian will be affected. I lost my job because of it.”

The body froze involuntarily, Gu Liuguang said: "I hate him, it has nothing to do with other people."

"So, what if you were given a chance to take revenge on him without hurting others? Would you do it?" Tang Qian asked again. "If he was standing in front of you right now and asked you to stab him in the heart with a knife, would you do it?"

One hypothetical question after another pushed Gu Liuguang to a dead end, forcing him to face his truest thoughts—he hated Yan Dongting to the extreme, and wanted to see him get the retribution he deserved, but let him He used such an extreme way to retaliate, he simply couldn't do it.

"Do you know that in order to treat Gu Ning, he recruited countless influential artists to donate to the charity project for the treatment of children with rheumatic heart disease? Cardiac surgeon? If he really just wanted to use Gu Ning to make you obey him, why would he do so much?" Tang Qian whispered.

"Look at him walking in the hospital without changing his face now. Can you imagine that he used to be a person who vomited as soon as he heard the sound of an ambulance, and was unwilling to step into the hospital even if he died? If he didn't really care, How can you make such a ruthless determination to overcome the fear deep in your heart?"

Gu Liuguang's heart trembled, and he opened his eyes. Something in his eyes was shaking, and he asked in a trembling voice, "What do you mean by telling me this now?"

Looking at Gu Liuguang's eyes, Tang Qian gritted his teeth and continued, "I know I'm not qualified and have no position to comment on the things between the two of you. I just think that since you don't like him and don't care about him, Then there is no need to let yourself live in hatred. Let him have nothing, what can you get?"

After Tang Qian finished speaking, he stopped looking at the sad expression on Gu Liuguang's face, got up and walked out, waved his hands and said: "You are also tired today, take a good rest with me, I will go out now to find Someone can help you look up what happened seven years ago."

After walking out the door, Tang Qian sighed heavily.

How can there be so much gratuitous hatred in this world?Let yourself live in hatred every day, it's nothing more than some things that you can't take or let go.

After Tang Qian left, the room fell into a suffocating silence.Gu Liuguang stood there stunned, not knowing what to do.

Seeing his appearance, Goode sighed almost inaudibly.

Yes, since you don't like it and don't care, why do you let yourself hate someone like that day after day?At first, when Xiao Qiao and Gu Liuguang talked about the unbearable past, he also hated it, but during the days when he became "Gu Liuguang", he didn't see Yan Dongting doing anything to him that could be called "Gu Liuguang". The act of "harming", on the contrary, is dedicated to everything and takes care of everything.

Whenever he thinks of the look on the man's face when he threw the amulet on the ground that day, Goode will feel sad.

If it was him, seeing the things he begged so hard in front of the Buddha being ruthlessly thrown on the ground, he would definitely not be able to help but get angry, right?But at that time, that person didn't blame him, but chose to suffer all this silently, as if he was used to it...

Suddenly, Goode remembered the souvenirs locked in the cardboard boxes.Those were clearly the pictures that Yan Dongting had sent in a text message, but they had never been unsealed.

Gently covering Gu Liuguang's clenched fist with his hand, Gude said softly:

"No matter what choice you make, I will support you."

In the evening, Linyan Cemetery was shrouded in twilight.

The gravekeeper found Yan Dongting in front of Gu Ning's tombstone, ignored his plea, and ruthlessly drove him out of the cemetery gate.

Watching the iron gate slowly close in front of his eyes, Yan Dongting was carrying the backpack containing Gu Ning's album, not knowing where he should go.

Looking up at the end of the road under his feet, he exhaled a mouthful of white mist and sat down by the gate.

Gu Ning's things are still there, it is impossible for Liu Guang not to come back, even if he loses everything, he will not lose anything related to Gu Ning.If he comes back, he will definitely pass through the gate, so he will wait here, and he will always see him.

The sun was setting in the west, and the already cold temperature dropped a little bit at this moment, but the person sitting on the stone steps and waiting seemed not to notice it, and there was only loneliness on his face.

Suddenly, a drop of water fell on his ashen and decadent face.

He raised his head to look, and the pure white snowflakes fell from the air one after another, falling on his hair, face, and eyes, and melted into a cold liquid, soaking into the bottom of his heart.

Snowing.
