King Crazy Game

Chapter 112 True Death Game (13)

Gu Qiuchi put down the teapot, smiled gentlemanly and said, "I'm glad you still remember what I look like. Before you came in, I was always worried that you had already forgotten me."

Lin Zicheng picked up the teacup in front of him, blew away the hot steam, and took a sip: "Not bad tea, mellow and sweet."

Gu Qiuchi couldn't help but raise his lips: "If you like it, I'll have someone send you a few boxes later."

"If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief." Lin Zicheng glanced at the street outside the window and saw a sports car parked in the most conspicuous place within his sight. He smiled silently.

Gu Qiuchi caught the smile that accidentally appeared on his face, and curiously followed his gaze to glance out the window. He spotted the sports car, lowered his head slightly and smiled bitterly, his heart full of envy.

Lin Zicheng retracted his gaze and looked at Gu Qiuchi: "You are looking for me because of Gu Jinan. What he wanted to do most since he was a child was to step on me one day. Although it is stupid, it is also courageous."

Gu Qiuchi raised his head and leaned back against the back of his chair: "He took the wrong road because of me, and I was powerless to do anything. I could only watch him go wrong step by step. He didn't know those people you wanted to know about. He didn't even know why he joined this life-and-death fight."

Lin Zicheng smiled and asked, "Do you know?"

Gu Qiuchi was silent for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Lin Zicheng: "The Gu family almost went bankrupt, and was saved by Xia Detang. You should also know the conditions for his rescue of the Gu family. He asked me to keep an eye on you, pretend to be your best friend, and then betray you, so that you, a young child, would never trust the people around you again. The most effective way to wipe out a person is to praise him to the highest place, and then push him hard, so that he falls into the abyss of hell."

Lin Zicheng crossed his hands, placed them on the table, and listened patiently and politely.

"The same is true for everything you went through that summer. I still remember that when you left, you informed me in a cold tone that you would be the sole heir of the Xia family in the future and I didn't have to continue acting in front of you. I understood at that time that no one could overthrow you, not even KN's people or Wen Lin's lackeys. This idea of ​​mine unconsciously influenced Xiao An, making him think that you were a huge mountain in front of him, and that as long as you were eliminated, he would be able to attract my attention."

Gu Qiuchi's voice became lower and lower.

"I am his brother, so I naturally have the obligation to correct his mistakes. I came to you this time because I want you to help me put on a show. After it's over, I will tell you what you want to know."

Lin Zicheng raised his left hand, propped up his chin, and asked with a smile: "You betrayed me before, why should I trust you now?"

Gu Qiuchi looked at him sadly for a long time before saying, "The man on the island was good at imitating other people's appearances and voices. The one we saw was not the real him."

Lin Zicheng remained motionless and raised his eyelids: "How do I know whether what you said is true or not?"

Gu Qiuchi's eyes suddenly widened, his lips moved, and he lowered his eyelids, exhaled deeply, and raised his eyes: "On the day Xia Detang died, I saw him imitate Xia Detang's appearance and leave the island on a private plane."

Seeing that Lin Zicheng didn't say anything, he quickly added: "If you don't believe it, you can check the private plane pilots of Xia Detang at that time, and you will know that none of them survived."

Lin Zicheng straightened his body, his peach blossom eyes slightly curved: "Qiu Chi, I helped you many times when I was young. Even though I knew you were just pretending, I saved you every time. But when you were on the island, you didn't even dare to make a normal phone call to the Lin family?"

"Xia Detang is right. Mistaken kindness will only make others think you are a fool, and it won't make them feel guilty. You asked me to help you act out a play, so that a fool like Gu Jinan can enjoy the temporary joy of success and break his inner demons. Have you ever thought about my inner demons?"

Gu Qiuchi's originally bloodless face became even paler at this moment. He didn't know how Lin Zicheng guessed his thoughts, so he could only lick his cracked lips silently.

Lin Zicheng showed him a bloody smile: "It is indeed easy to wipe out a person, and it is also easy to cultivate a chess piece. He An is the chess piece you placed next to Gu Jinan. You have always said that you are Gu Jinan's brother, but you have been using him from beginning to end."

"The incident with Jin Huandai was a test of him. After the accident, he did not contact Wen Lin's lackeys, nor did he come to me, and he didn't even look at Jiang Quanyang. As expected, you trained Gu Jinan to be very much like Xia Detang, arrogant and conceited, looking down on the ants under his feet with self-righteousness, and unwilling to taint his hands from beginning to end. In order to prevent him, you put He An next to him, and instilled my strongest thoughts in your heart all the time, making him feel that as long as he can defeat me, everything is worth it."

Lin Zicheng smiled and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat: "His inner demon is not me, but you! Qiu Chi, the people around you are like a mirror of you, reflecting the real you, so I knew from the beginning that you were pretending to be friendly."

"I didn't pretend to be friendly, nor did I pretend to thank you for your timely rescue." Gu Qiuchi explained in a hoarse voice, "I had no control over everything. I even wished I was just an ordinary poor family."

Lin Zicheng sighed softly: "Then what do you want to do by using Gu Jinan? And why are you in contact with Wen Lin's lackeys?"

Gu Qiuchi looked at him with red eyes. After a while, he curled his lips and smiled bitterly: "Isn't it ridiculous that I said I was afraid of death? They said that Wen Lin has developed a drug that can regenerate human cells. As long as I take it, I will no longer be troubled by cancer. In order to make me believe it, they even sent me a person whose head was cut off and then stitched back to life as a witness."

Lin Zicheng did not respond to his words. He picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea: "Drink less, you should be able to live a few more years."

Gu Qiuchi picked up the teacup, tears rolled down her cheeks and fell into the tea, creating tiny ripples.

Lin Zicheng glanced out the window and saw the sports car was still there. He smiled and said, "You don't have to send me the tea, or I'll have to explain the trouble later."

"Zicheng, the person I envy the most now is Shen Qingning. He is the one who pulled you out of hell." Gu Qiuchi looked out the window sadly, "He is the one who helped you to open the shackles on your body and see the sunshine. He is your salvation."

Lin Zicheng looked at him and smiled gently and warmly: "I never need salvation, and I am not someone who is pushed into hell. I have always been in hell."

Although it was an innocent smile, Gu Qiuchi felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver.

"Qingning, you are not the one who pulled me out of hell, but the one who jumped in voluntarily to sink with me."

The teahouse is located on the edge of the city, which results in less presence of urban management officers. On the street in front of the shop, three-wheeled carts selling various snacks stop to do business, making the originally narrow road even more crowded. The arrival of a small electric scooter has led to the current situation.

Shen Qingning couldn't remember how many times she had heard the horn urging people to move the car. As she drove forward, she kept cursing in her heart, wondering how long Lin Zicheng and Gu Qiuchi would stop reminiscing about the past.

He was so impatient that he was about to open the car window and curse, "Do you know that someone almost sacrificed himself in the symphony of trumpets just waiting for you?"

As soon as the car window rolled down, Xin Nian Nian's smile suddenly appeared in front of him, and the depression and annoyance he had just felt were swept away without a trace.

Shen Qingning pretended to meet him by chance, looked around and said, "Zicheng, what a coincidence, you are here to buy something too?"

"Unfortunately, I'm waiting for you here." Lin Zicheng replied with a smile.

Shen Qingning: “…”

Why does it feel like the two people’s lines are reversed?

Shen Qingning got out of the car and moved to the passenger seat. As soon as he closed the door, he couldn't wait to ask, "What did you talk about with Gu Qiuchi? Why did you talk for so long?"

The two of them had grown up so much, experienced the ambiguity of the world of flowers and the intrigues of business wars, and the twists and turns of officialdom. Now they are still experiencing life-threatening games, but they have never experienced the game of "cold war". If it weren't for Gu Qiuchi, the two of them would probably continue to pretend that nothing had happened in the cold war!

Shen Qingning, who was full of jealousy, broke the cold war first and said frankly, "I investigated Li Jichen because I suspected that he was KN's man. When I was investigating Jiang Quanyang's party, I found that there was something wrong with the time he arrived at the scene, so I asked someone to investigate. You see, I just happened to deal with an accident."

"I'm not referring to Li Jichen." Lin Zicheng looked at him meaningfully, "You know what I mean."

"Ah ha? Are you afraid that I'll get hurt?"

Lin Zicheng did not answer, but the speed of the car increased significantly.
