In the West Lake Bijing Apartment, Xia Tong repeatedly grasped the remote control in her hand, hesitating. She had been in this closed apartment for a whole day. Although she had never gone out, she knew that the outside should be chaotic at this moment.

Became one piece.

The Qin family's drug trafficking was exposed, and the emperor's ascendance was in danger. Qin Mu decided that he should be busy at both ends at this moment.

Should she turn on the TV and watch the news of the past two days?

She hesitated for a moment, and finally turned on the TV. On the news channel, countless familiar scenes suddenly came up. Various reporters spoke in strange, anxious or slightly mocking tones about the news that had shocked City A in the past two days.

The Qin family scandal.

I heard that after the drug trafficking was exposed, Di Sheng's stock price dropped sharply in the past two days; I heard that many companies were temporarily terminating their contracts with Di Sheng; I heard that the Qin family is now besieged on all sides; I heard that Qin Hansheng went to the hospital overnight... I heard that

…

At the end of the picture, the scene is frozen in the corridor of a hospital.

The man sat alone on the chair, sitting quietly, like a sculpture. His face, which had always been handsome and unruly, had no expression at all at the moment. It was so deep that it was hard to see through and understand.

It was Qin Mujue. Xia Tong's heart felt as if he had been hit hard by someone, and it hurt so much that he could not speak.

The door to the apartment suddenly opened and a person walked in.

She didn't need to look back to know who it was. But at this moment, she didn't even have the desire to move, she just stared at the figure motionless.

Until the TV screen went completely black, she stood up in shock, only to be thrust into someone's arms. When she smelled the familiar cologne, she trembled.

He pressed her against his chest and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't look at these..."

"……."

"I don't want you to see him again, I don't want you to know about him, I don't want him to come into your life again, and I don't want him to affect us again..." He slowly brushed her waist with his hand.

"Gu Haoran...you..." She was about to say, but he hugged her tighter.

"Xia Tong, you can't look back anymore..."

Xia Tong, you can't look back anymore...

Her eyes suddenly dimmed, yes, she could not look back. Qin Hansheng might die because of her, the Qin family would be torn apart because of her, and the entire Emperor Sheng would lose power because of her...

Should he hate her so much?

What's more, she has fallen into the devil's trap. In the short term, her life will be gloomy.

"Gu Haoran..." she asked in confusion: "I have become like this, why are you still so nice to me?"

He didn't speak.

"You know, I'm not Gu Yuxi, I..."

"I know you are not her." He pushed her away for a long time, and a long-lost innocent smile appeared on his face, which was extremely familiar: "I knew you were not her." He lowered his head and held her hand: "I want to

It’s you who I want, the woman named Xia Tong… not my sister, nor Gu Yuxi.”

Xia Tong looked at that handsome face that was so affectionate that she couldn't bear to look at it, and was a little moved: "But you know that I don't like you. Maybe I won't like you in ten, twenty years or a lifetime. What should I do?

…….”

"If that person is not me now...I can wait until the day you fall in love with me..."

"What if that day never comes?"

"No." He laughed: "That day can't happen." As long as you don't see him again, as long as you get rid of your devilish poison, you will definitely fall in love with me.

"Why are you so sure?" Xia Tong was confused.

"It's a secret."

********* ********

After waiting for two days and two nights in the hospital, the nurse finally came out of the ward with a look of relief on her face: "Mr. Qin just woke up and his condition has stabilized temporarily."

Everyone's spirits were shaken after a dull day. Qin Muxuan asked first, "Can we go in to see dad now?"

"Uh..." The nurse hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Qin told me that he wanted to meet Mr. Qin Muzhen alone. Who is Mr. Qin Muzhen?"

Qin Mujue stood up from the chair: "I am."

The nurse said: "Come in with me."

Qin Muzhen handed his suit jacket to Nie Sheng behind him and followed the nurse into the ward. In the intensive care unit, Qin Hansheng was lying on the bed, his face pale. There were several infusion tubes inserted into the back of his thin hands.

Hearing the knock on the door, he reluctantly opened his eyes. When he saw the person coming, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

"Mu Jue, you're here." He struggled to sit up. Qin Mu Jue walked over and put two pillows on his body. He didn't speak during the whole process.

Qin Hansheng said to the nurse: "You go down first."

After the nurse left the ward, Qin Hansheng sighed deeply: "Mu Jie, I'm sorry for you."

Qin Muzhen's originally indifferent expression softened slightly because of his sad sigh. He looked over and took a serious look at his father for the first time.

He is no longer as young as he remembers, and his once black hair has become mottled and white. His angular face is already covered with traces of time. Even his eyes, which were still slender at first, are now

It is also bleak and chaotic.

Over the years, every meeting he had with him was filled with unspeakable tensions. He never discovered that he would also grow old one day.

Qin Muzhai's hands were stiff, but he finally stepped forward and covered him with the quilt: "What is there to be sorry for between father and son?"

Qin Hansheng held his arm: "The police should have looked for you, right?"

Qin Mujie nodded silently: "Yes."

"The drug trafficking thing is true." Qin Hansheng leaned against the wall behind him and closed his eyes. Even so, he could not hide the faint regret on his face: "Actually, I had a premonition that something would happen... I just didn't expect it.

, will be now.”

Qin Mujie's movements froze and he sat aside. Even though he had vaguely known the truth in the police station, when he heard his father admit it personally, he was still a little unbearable.

"Originally, I had planned to stop. The several hundred kilograms of goods from Zuo Fengshan were my last transaction. Just wait five days, just wait five more days for me to get rid of this goods. The Qin family's drug trafficking matter is over.

I will be buried forever, but it is a pity that people are not as good as God. It seems that this time, God is going to decide my fate..." He shook his head, feeling helpless: "I just feel sorry for you and want to clean up the mess I left.

."

"Why do you want to sell drugs?" Qin Mu decided to ask, with a somewhat sad tone: "Dad, you are so powerful. Even if you don't rely on drug money, you can develop Di Sheng step by step. Why do you do such illegal things?

"

He closed his eyes with a painful expression: "The first time I was forced to do it, and then I was trapped in the mud." He recounted: "The first time I sold drugs, you were just one year old. That year Di Sheng had just started.

Many aspects require capital turnover. Many people say that I married Darcy because I took a fancy to the family power behind her and wanted to rely on the strength of her natal family to develop my own career."

"……."

"To be honest, I did have such thoughts when I first got together with Darcy. But it was only for a moment. I soon discovered that this little girl is indeed very innocent and cute, which makes people feel sad. The relationship with Darcy

Everyone was not optimistic about the wedding. Her father felt sorry for her and gave her a dowry of more than one million yuan, which was a huge amount of money at that time. But Darcy spent this money without reservation

Gave it to me as the start-up capital for Di Sheng."

"Mom is so kind." Thinking of his mother, Qin Mujie felt a little startled.

"In the first two years, Di Sheng, as a new enterprise, experienced many twists and turns, but fortunately they all passed smoothly. Unexpectedly, two years later, Daqian suddenly became seriously ill and needed hundreds of thousands of dollars for surgery, but this

At that time, the company had just started, and capital turnover was very difficult. I really couldn’t come up with so much money in a short period of time.”

"……."

"And I don't want to ask her parents for it, for fear of being stabbed in the back and laughed at, saying they can't even support a wife." He paused: "It just so happened that at this time, I met an American gangster through business relationships.

The little leader of the organization. This gangster organization has always made a living by manufacturing and selling drugs. The "Golden Drug Triangle" formed at the junction of Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand was their drug breeding base. At that time, they had a large number of

The 'goods' want to be sold to China, but they are struggling to find a way. After all, the country is very sensitive to drug smuggling. If it is accidentally exposed, destroying the drugs is a small matter, but the entire organization will be affected by it.

In order to be foolproof, they urgently need to find someone from China who has the ability to act internally and is very courageous..."

"They picked you?"

"Yes." Qin Hansheng nodded: "The profits from drug smuggling are astonishingly huge. As an important internal agent, as long as I do a good job, I should be able to get a huge sum of money. And the national airport security at that time

It is not as strict as it is now, so this matter is not difficult. As long as no accident occurs, no one will usually find out. And your mother is terminally ill at this time, and I need the money urgently, so I want to take a risk..."

Qin Muzhen said: "Dad, you were too impulsive back then..."

Qin Hansheng shook his head helplessly: "Now that I think about it, I was indeed impulsive. I risked my life for hundreds of thousands. It's just that except for drug trafficking, I couldn't think of any other way."

He continued: "After the first success, I received more than one million in benefits. Using this money, I successfully performed the operation on Darcy. But I didn't expect that the first time would lead to a second one."

times, and then there was the endless greed of desire. By the time I wanted to stop, it was already too late."

"Dad, you were diagnosed with lung cancer a month ago. Is the reason why you have been unwilling to be hospitalized because you are worried about the remaining drugs on the mountain?"

Qin Hansheng nodded: "Yes, my only thought at the time was that I hope to dispose of those drugs before I die. Then I will bury this matter forever. I don't want to cause you any trouble, but it's a pity that it's too late..."

Qin Muzhen stood up, exhaled, and said, "I understand, Dad. I will solve this matter. Don't worry, just take good care of yourself."

He is in a mess now and urgently needs a deserted environment to calm down.

Qin Hansheng stopped him: "Mu Jue, there is one more thing I didn't tell you."

He paused without speaking, waiting for his words.
