There is a factory in the north of the city. In the early years, it was one of the largest factories in T City. As long as someone worked there, no matter what they were doing, everyone would talk about it and lament that it was so sad to see people comparing themselves to each other.

One year, there was a vicious fight in the factory, and two people died. After several months of this incident, rumors of ghosts began to appear.

At first, the rumors were just rumors, and no one took them seriously. Until someone said that he had really seen a ghost and fell ill, people in the factory panicked, and all kinds of rumors continued one after another.

The workers were afraid of returning home, so they went to work as usual every day and did not dare to be careless.

Nie Wenyuan and Qiu Tao were in the same factory. After Qiu Tao entered the factory, they quickly got along with each other and became Xiongdi, advancing and retreating together. They also participated in the fight and suffered serious injuries, but because of their youth and strong vitality, they were soon alive and kicking.

They were young at the time and didn’t know how to weigh the pros and cons. When everyone came up, they also came up, swarming up and waving their fists and feet, always with endless energy.

Thinking back on it after so many years, they only find it funny. The cause of the fight was not any hatred between the country and the family, but just a woman. If one doesn’t have that fate, it’s best not to touch the sentiment, emotion and love. It can range from being downcast and broken for numerous days to being half-dead and leaving indelible scars.

However, no one knew that Qiu Tao accidentally killed the two people who died in that fight, and it was at that moment that his youthful disposition changed.

At the beginning, Qiu Tao’s life became a scene of gambling, earning money every single day. Later, his greed and desire came to haunt his heart. He was not satisfied with the status quo and desperately stepped on others to climb up. Not to mention a sworn Xiongdi, he can even step on the head of his blood related Xiongdi. In fact, he did that too.

After climbing up, before Qiu Tao had time to look down at the group of weak poor people at his feet, admiring their struggle in suffering and mercifully giving away three melons and two dates, he found that his sworn Xiongdi had also climbed up, before he noticed it, he was already beside him.

Qiu Tao thought that feeling was the worst, but he found out within two or three years that it was not. The worst thing was that the sworn Xiongdi had already surpassed him, and it still happened without him noticing.

By the time he realized this, it was too late. He could only withdraw the corner of his mouth, raise his glass with a smile, clink a glass with his Xiongdi, and say “Well done, Xiongdi” sincerely and happily, which made him feel sick to his stomach.

There’s no way, people live for a lifetime, who can not be hypocritical, and have different hearts?

Whether it is for oneself or for others, there is no difference, it is just that the excuses are different.

What is genuine and what is fake is inherently vague. The fake can be tampered with without knowing it and become genuine. The genuine can also become fake under the gnawing of time. What the eyes see may not be genuine, but it may be genuine. But maybe one won’t know whether it’s genuine or fake until they die.

So it’s not important whether it’s genuine or fake. To live, to live well, to live in the gaze of others, that’s the most important thing.

A person’s life is long or short. Time can be as fast as a dream, and it can also make your days seem like years. No matter what time, one still has to learn to be flexible and not set their own path rigidly. There is no other way, so he can only watch helplessly as the people behind him step over him and rise to great heights.

Qiu Tao understood this truth so well. He originally thought that Nie Wenyuan also understood it. It was only a few years ago that he discovered that he had been deceived and that the other party was not the same as him at all.

They have all suffered losses, ranging from a bowl of noodles for a few cents, to multiple wounds on their bodies, being beaten like dogs and lying on the ground for a long time without being able to get up, without knowing who the other party was.

Of course, they have also made others suffer, either overtly or covertly, and their methods of torturing people won’t be okay. Just take a look and listen and you will understand.

No idea when it started, without letting others know, Qiu Tao and Nie Wenyuan silently picked out suitable masks for themselves and put them on their faces. One was elegant and graceful, while the other was solemn and inhumane.

Although they have apparently gone their separate ways over the years, they occasionally feel tired and meet up on the roadside to reminisce about old times, or if their interests are linked, they pat the shoulders, give a hug, and say, “It’s good to have you, Xiongdi” and everything has been fine.

Qiu Tao thought that he could go on like this, and he had already thought about it. If one day he got tired of being in the officialdom and no longer wanted to judge the situation, play tricks, or be flattered by others, he would go to find Nie Wenyuan, and the two of them would choose a good place with good mountains and rivers to spend their remaining years.

Even if there are no wives and children, just the two old men, drinking tea, playing chess and fishing, it would still be fine.

For Qiu Tao, Nie Wenyuan is the only Xiongdi he recognizes in the world, and also his opponent. They have been falsely affectionate to each other for decades. They have endured hardships together, and they have shared in the riches. If one day they really fall out, pointing the tips of their knives at each other, and fight to the death, they still won’t get used to it.

But Nie Wenyuan wanted to destroy him.

Qiu Tao’s plan started in the first half of last year, and Nie Wen was far from being benevolent, so don’t blame him for being unjust.

As a result, Qiu Tao still didn’t understand this Xiongdi who he had known for many years. He looked at him superficially and thought that was all. He never expected that the other person was hiding too deeply.

The carefully laid plan was discovered and was even used against him. Qiu Tao would never give up if wanted to put him to death.

The situation they are in today is bound to lead to a situation of “either you die or I die.” When people outside find out about this, there will definitely be many secretly enjoying themselves. Even if both sides suffer, it will still be worth celebrating.

But Qiu Tao couldn’t control that much anymore, Nie Wenyuan bit him tightly, not only wanted to fight back, but also wanted to kill him with one blow.

Qiu Tao’s thoughts came back suddenly, the cigar between his fingers had been burnt out, he didn’t know whether it was because of the strong smell of corrosion in the factory, or because of other reasons, his lungs felt like they were being held by two hands, making it difficult to breathe smoothly.

“Xiao Yu, are you being absent minded?”

Huang Dan was asking Mr. Lu about the mission, when he heard the voice suddenly, his eyelids twitched, “No.”

Qiu Tao was like a kind elder, with indulgence and instruction in his tone, “You are still a child, it’s okay to lie a little, but you can’t do it often, do you understand?”

Huang Dan didn’t irritate Qiu Tao, “Yeah.”

Qiu Tao is good-looking, and he has always been polite and elegant, and has really become unable to pull himself out of this facade. The smile on his face is even bigger now, “You are such a good boy, no wonder your Jiujiu likes you so much.”

He smiled and corrected, “Shushu is wrong. You are more important to your Jiujiu than his life.”

Huang Dan didn’t make a sound, thinking about what to do next.

He was captured here half an hour ago. His hands and feet were tied to a chair and he couldn’t break free. There were Qiu Tao’s people inside and outside, and they all had guns on them, making it difficult for him to fly.

Huang Dan sorted out the information revealed by Chen Fei and Chen Xiaorou, and he had a conjecture in his mind. Now most of it has been verified, and the remaining part does not matter whether it is verified or not.

He had a bad feeling that something might go wrong with this mission.

Qiu Tao asked, “Are you hungry?”

Huang Dan shook his head.

Qiu Tao patted him on the shoulder and said gently, “Don’t worry, your Jiujiu will come to pick you up.”

Huang Dan was stunned, his eyes widened, and he asked sullenly, “When did you notify my Jiujiu?”

Qiu Tao showed an apologetic smile, “Xiao Yu ah, Shushu is more than ten years older than you, so his memory is naturally incomparable to yours. As a matter of fact, I forgot a lot of things in just one cigar.”

He put his right leg on top of his left leg, with a casual posture, showing his calmness to the outside world, with a hint of concealment, “Shushu called your Jiujiu ten minutes ago and said that you are at Shushu’s place. He would have left after I hung up the phone.”

Huang Dan’s lips pursed immediately, he did not speak, and his eyelids drooped, “Mr. Lu, where is Nie Wenyuan?”

System, “Five minutes away.”

Huang Dan’s heart jumped, “Qiu Tao must ask Nie Wenyuan to come alone. Mr. Lu, he can’t come, it’s very dangerous.”

System reminded, “Host Huang, your mission is to find out the truth, fill in the target person, people and things other than the mission, it’s better not to be too concerned.”

Huang Dan said in his heart it is too late, I had already taken notice, a long time ago. He said, “Mr. Lu, Nie Wenyuan is not outside the mission.”

His tone was determined, not doubting or questioning.

System didn’t respond, it just replied, “You might as well wait and see what happens.” The implication was to take it one step at a time.

Huang Dan’s heart sank again. The skin on his body was already very white, and now it was even more frighteningly white. The blood dripping from the left corner of his forehead was a bit shocking.

There was a sudden stabbing pain in the wound, Huang Dan’s whole body trembled, and only then did he realize that Qiu Tao’s hand was pressed on it.

Qiu Tao pushed aside a few strands of hair that were stuck in the blood on the young man’s forehead. He pressed the tip of his two fingers into the wound. He looked at the scab and saw blood oozing out. He sighed and said, “Your Jiujiu will come later. If he saw your injury, he would definitely blame Shushu, I, for not taking good care of you. Xiao Yu, you say what to do?”

Huang Dan couldn’t help crying, the pain was too great, his face was pale and blue, his brows and eyes were wet with cold sweat, and his teeth were trembling, “Umm…… I accidentally bumped myself.”

Qiu Tao took out the handkerchief from his pocket, gently wiped the blood from the young man’s face, and said with a smile, “Shushu knows that Xiao Yu is the most sensible person. It is very different from the rumors. To be honest, this is the first time that Shushu has seen you like this in all his life. It’s like you’ve changed into a different person. The skin is still the same, but the things inside have changed.”

Huang Dan listened to Qiu Tao’s words, the curiosity mixed with it was obvious and frightening, as if he would peel off his whole body at any time, and he would go through it carefully to see what was going on.

Qiu Tao took off the handkerchief, shook his head and said, “Xiao Yu, you are a boy after all, why do you cry so much?”

Huang Dan couldn’t stop crying. He was about to faint from the tight pain nerves, but he had to hold on, and his lips turned purple.

Qiu Tao raised his hand, “Wash the kid’s face.”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone went to fetch some water and poured it directly over Huang Dan’s head.

He didn’t know where the water was obtained from, it was very turbid, with an earthy smell, and there were many rotten leaves and unknown bugs in it, both dead and alive.

Huang Dan coughed uncomfortably, and the wound on his forehead was washed away with water. The pain from the needles lasted for a while. He closed his eyes and gasped for breath, and his soaked chest heaved up and down.

Qiu Tao said with satisfaction, “Isn’t this much better looking?”

When Huang Dan heard this, his eyes immediately opened and he turned his head to look at Qiu Tao, madman.

Qiu Tao saw the meaning in the young man’s eyes, he laughed loudly, and put the blood-stained handkerchief on the young man’s face, “Thanks to your Jiujiu, when he comes, I will let you see who your Jiujiu is? Maybe you will even be thankful to Shushu.”

Huang Dan’s mouth and nose were covered with a handkerchief, his breathing was blocked, and the feeling of lack of oxygen made him dizzy. His hands tied behind the chair were clenched into fists, and the joints of his fingers turned white.

Qiu Tao was still saying something, but Huang Dan’s ears were buzzing and he couldn’t hear anything clearly. His breath was weak, and the strength of his struggle also weakened.

The handkerchief covering the mouth and nose was removed, and the air rushed into the nasal cavity in large gusts. Huang Dan tilted his head back and breathed with his mouth wide open. A broken sound came from his throat, and the feeling of being on the verge of death swirled in his mind and would not dissipate.

Qiu Tao threw the handkerchief on the ground, “How is it? Are you afraid? Shushu is also afraid of death.”

Huang Dan’s slack eyesight gradually came into focus, the hair on his forehead was sticking to it wetly, the shirt on his body was white, stained with a lot of blood, and he looked embarrassed.

Qiu Tao opened a bottle of water and said, “Here, take a few sips.”

Huang Dan glanced at the mineral water bottle handed to his mouth, but he didn’t open his mouth.

Qiu Tao said, “Xiao Yu, if you don’t drink, you are looking down on Shushu. Then Shushu will be unhappy.”

The wound on his forehead hurt faintly. Huang Dan opened his mouth. As soon as his mouth touched the mouth of the bottle, Qiu Tao’s hand holding the bottle exerted force, and water rushed into his throat. He choked and coughed loudly, and all the snot and tears went down his throat.

Qiu Tao poured the remaining half bottle of water on the ground, crushed the bottle flat with his foot, “When Shushu met you for the first time, he felt that there was something in you that others of the same age did not have, and really liked you.”

Huang Dan heard Qiu Tao say softly, “But Shushu doesn’t like homosexual people.”

“You are not very old, ah, still not familiar with the love between men and women. Let Shushu tell you, that the bodies of men and women are completely different. Women are softer and more fragrant. Men are not born to lie under a man’s body, but to lie on top of a woman’s body.”

Qiu Tao asked with concern, “You tell Shushu, have you been deceived by your Jiujiu?”

Huang Dan was still breathing heavily, and his eyes were red and throbbing with pain. His eyelids were half-closed tiredly, and he didn’t know how long he could hold on.

Qiu Tao joked, “Your Jiujiu can fool people around with just a few sentences. He’s very capable, but I can’t learn it.”

Huang Dan’s head was touched, his hair was grabbed, and he was pulled back with great force. He was forced to raise his pale face. He knew that he was no different from a dead person even without looking.

“It was me, I fell in love with him first.”

As soon as Huang Dan finished speaking, the force of pulling his hair became stronger, his scalp was almost torn off, the pain made his hands and feet twitch, almost collapsed.

Qiu Tao snorted, smiled and said, “I really can’t tell, you are quite protective of your Jiujiu. It’s a pity that he is not here now and didn’t hear it, otherwise he would have been moved.”

He glanced at the men around him, “Have you ever seen a homosexual?”

Those people didn’t know the reason, they all shook their heads, “Not seen it before.”

Huang Dan’s face was patted, and Qiu Tao’s voice sounded in his ears, “That’s our kid Chen Yu.”

When Qiu Tao talked to Huang Dan just now, the volume was very low, only the two of them could hear it, but now it was deliberately raised so that the others could hear every word clearly.

The atmosphere suddenly changed.

Homosexuality is an offense, a crime of hooliganism. It has only been two years since the country abolished it, but people have not abolished it in their hearts. Not only do they feel disgusted, perverted, and mentally ill, but they also want to call the police and put people in mental hospitals instead of letting them out to scare people.

The group took a step back and looked at the black-haired young man who was tied to the chair like a monster, but looked like an ordinary person.

Qiu Tao said, “From the outside, it is of course the same as us normal people, but some places are completely different, do you want to see which place are different?”

Everyone present looked hesitant. They were lying if they said they were not curious, but they were also afraid that they would see some disgusting scene that would make them unable to eat.

After all, the man’s place is for excretion, and the scalp tingles just thinking about it.

Huang Dan’s scalp became even more numb. He opened his eyelids to look at Qiu Tao and changed the subject, “Qiu Shushu, my BiaoJie was raped at your instigation.”

Qiu Tao turned his neck and murmured inexplicably, “You, this kid, really are…”

What it really was, he didn’t say anything further.

His chin was pinched with such force that it seemed like he was going to take off his chin. Huang Dan kept inhaling in pain.

Qiu Tao let go of his hands, straightened the young man’s wet clothes and trousers, and even smoothed the hair on his forehead, “Okay, be quiet, your Jiujiu will be here soon.”

When Huang Dan heard Qiu Tao’s words, his uneasiness suddenly overwhelmed the pain in his body. He pinched his fingers together nervously several times.

In less than a minute, someone ran in and reported the situation in Qiu Tao’s ear.

Qiu Tao stood up and straightened the wrinkles on his clothes and pants, then sat back on the chair, took the cigar handed to him by his subordinates and stuffed it into his mouth. After thinking about it, he threw away the cigar and replaced it with a cup of tea. He felt a little more gentle, as if he really just wanted to have a cup of tea and chat.

The door opened from the outside, and a tall figure came in against the light. The sound of leather shoes on the ground was steady and powerful.

Huang Dan moved his chapped lips and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Nie Wenyuan’s eyes were fixed on the young man on the chair. There was blood on his face, his eyes were very red, and he had been crying for a long time. There were wounds on his forehead left by the blow, broken skin on the corners of his mouth, and there are bruises on both sides of the chin that cannot be seen elsewhere.

Huang Dan seemed to have guessed Nie Wenyuan’s thoughts. He tried his best to move his arms and legs and told him that he was not injured.

Nie Wenyuan’s eyes deepened, and his gaze moved to Qiu Tao, “Xiao Yu is frightened by you.”

Qiu Tao said, “No, I think Xiao Yu is in good spirits. Before you came, I gave him water and asked him if he was hungry. I chatted with him for a while, isn’t it Xiao Yu?”

Huang Dan glanced at Qiu Tao, scanned the other people around him, and finally stopped his sight at the man, moving up and down quickly, without a gun, alone, his pupils shrank, and he said in a dumb voice, “Well, Qiu Shushu was chatting with me, it was very good.”

Qiu Tao looked like he had just remembered, “Wenyuan, this kid is not as rough as usual. He can bump his head whenever he walks.”

Nie Wenyuan said, “I’ll take him back and teach him a lesson.”

Qiu Tao took a sip of tea and said, “Don’t worry, you just arrived and we haven’t even talked yet.”

A look of reminiscing appeared on his face, “Let me think about it, from when should we start talking about it? Should it start with your betrayal of trust, or with you borrowing a knife to kill people? Or with your wiseness to protect yourself?”

Nie Wenyuan remained silent and showed no expression on his face.

Huang Dan knew that Nie Wenyuan was looking at him, so he twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a little smile, and silently comforted him.

Thinking of the bloody scene in the toilet, Huang Dan felt a chill run down his back. He didn’t want to see Nie Wenyuan go to jail for killing someone. That kind of behavior was wrong.

Moreover, Nie Wenyuan was involved in official circles, so he would inevitably offend people. Once he was ruined, many people would pounce on him, and some would find ways to make him die without anyone noticing.

Qiu Tao waved his men to retreat outside the door. He took a gun in his hand and wiped it casually with a handkerchief, “Why don’t you talk? You drove all the way here, so you should say a few words.”

Nie Wenyuan said calmly, “Qiu Tao, my little nephew is afraid of pain.”

Qiu Tao thought about what Nie Wenyuan would say, but what was unexpected was this sentence. He was stunned for a few moments, and then laughed. If it wasn’t inappropriate, he would have sent blessings saying ‘Happy Marriage’, he said, “I was curious before, could there be someone or something that could make your heart deeply disordered? Xiao Yu did it.”

“Wenyuan, you have not been close to women these years. Many people think that you are not good at that. To be honest, I also doubted it. I really didn’t expect the problem to be your sexual orientation.”

Qiu Tao looked at Nie Wenyuan with sympathetic eyes, “You too indeed, if you like men, just like men. There are so many of them on the street. How could you be with your little nephew……”

Huang Dan interrupted. He didn’t want to hear Qiu Tao insult and ridicule the man anymore. He was from time travel, but the man was not. Born in this era, his ability to withstand public opinions about homosexuality would be much worse, “I am not his blood related nephew.”

Qiu Tao raised his eyebrows, “So?”

Huang Dan pursed his lips. Qiu Tao is well informed. He could see it from the change in the other party’s expression.

Qiu Tao suddenly shot Nie Wenyuan without any warning.

Huang Dan watched helplessly as the man’s left arm was stained red with blood. His breathing stopped and became rapid, and his nails dug into the palm of his hand.

On the other hand, Nie Wenyuan just frowned and said, “What do you want?”

Qiu Tao crossed his legs. He didn’t answer Nie Wenyuan, but said to the young man next to him, “Xiao Yu, your Jiujiu is so good at killing people with borrowed knives, even I can’t compare to him.”

Huang Dan was startled, some fragments flashed through his mind, and they were all scattered and fragmentary. He could piece them together, but he didn’t subconsciously do so.

“You are very smart, you must have doubted it, right?”

Qiu Tao knocked on the young man’s head lightly but seriously, “There were a lot of your Jiujiu’s people in the hospital. Your Jie wanted to be discharged. He knew the news immediately but didn’t keep her. You guess what he thought?”

When the young man didn’t respond, Qiu Tao said, “I’ll give you three seconds.”

Huang Dan looked at the man without blinking, met the dark gaze, and replied to Qiu Tao, “Jiujiu knew that you would not let my Jie go, so he released my Jie from the hospital to give you a chance to take action.”

“Yes, this is the so-called killing with a borrowed knife. Your Jiujiu has already planned it. People like him like to draw out every step accurately in advance and do not allow the slightest deviation.”

Qiu Tao smiled and shook his head. At first glance, his tone was full of admiration, “But this time it was a little unexpected. Before the people I arranged took action, your Jie unfortunately got into a car accident. It was God who did not allow her to live for an extra two hours.”

He made an ah sound, “And your Quanwu Shushu.”

“Tsk, tsk, your Quanwu Shushu and your Jiujiu grew up together. They have known each other longer than me and your Jiujiu. Your Jiujiu was not merciful at all when he attacked him. Of course, he used a borrowed knife to kill this person too. He borrowed my knife to kill the person he wanted to kill. He achieved his goal without getting blood on his hands. How amazing ah.”

Huang Dan was still looking at the man.

Qiu Tao clapped his hands and applauded, “Wenyuan, when it comes to calculating people’s hearts, no one is better than you. No one can guess the depth of your shrewdness. We can obviously fight side by side and stand higher, but you turn against me.”

Nie Wenyuan still didn’t say a word, as if he was staying out of the matter, his injured arm was bleeding a lot, tick-tock, and a puddle of blood condensed on the ground.

Qiu Tao fired another shot and hit Nie Wenyuan on the leg, “No one in the officialdom is cleaner than someone else. People like us don’t have many bargaining chips. Nie Wenyuan, if you want to get away, be a good person, or change your mind, you could just pick anyone and hand over the found things to the police. Why do you want to put me under the knife?”

As he spoke, the veins on his forehead popped out, his elegant look was gone, and his face became distorted.

Nie Wenyuan just looked at Qiu Tao.

Qiu Tao guessed something almost as soon as he saw Nie Wenyuan’s eyes. His hand holding the gun tightened and returned to normal, “You knew about that, right?”

Nie Wenyuan said, “Yes, I knew.”

Qiu Tao’s Adam’s apple rolled. He put down the arm holding the gun and played with the gun in his hand. “When was this?”

Huang Dan was shocked as he listened to the conversation between the two. It actually involved old events. Something flashed through his mind. Could it be related to the disaster Nie Wenyuan’s family suffered?

Nie Wenyuan’s next words confirmed Huang Dan’s conjecture.

Back then, Nie Wenyuan’s family was a wealthy family in T City. His father was a righteous man and easy to trust others. He made many friends, and Qiu Tao’s father was one of them.

One day, Nie Wenyuan was strolling outside as usual, and saw his parents being pressed down the street. At that time, he was still young and didn’t understand anything, so he followed Grandma Wu to Nie’s house in confusion.

It wasn’t until Nie Wenyuan overheard the conversation between Father Nie and Mother Nie that he realized that his parents had been framed.

At the beginning, Nie Wenyuan didn’t tell Grandma Wu what he accidentally learned, and he didn’t do anything, because he was still young and powerless, so he just waited to grow up.

When he grew up, Nie Wenyuan didn’t rush to investigate. On the contrary, he tried to make himself famous. He must stand out, that’s what he told himself.

When Nie Wenyuan became powerful, he uncovered all the people and events of the year. He had been investigating all these years, and it was not until last year that he found out that Father Nie was just one of the people who pushed the matter behind the scenes, and Qiu Tao’s father was the mastermind who framed his parents and ruined his family.

Qiu Tao was also a part of the whole thing. At a young age, he lied and did not tell the truth. He let his father escape and harmed Nie Wenyuan’s parents and closed ones.

Later, Qiu Tao’s family moved away, and Nie Wenyuan didn’t recognize him when he saw him again.

Qiu Tao raised his gun and said with a clear smile, “No wonder you want to put me under the knife, you must be very impatient, right? You wish you could avenge your parents with your own hands, but you can’t, because you are Director Nie Wenyuan. You have maintained a positive image for too long and you are not willing to throw it away.”

“When the police find you and want you to assist in the investigation, it means you are dozing off, and they just hand over a pillow, which can help you turn over a new leaf and take revenge, killing two birds with one stone.”

Huang Dan came back to his senses, he looked at Qiu Tao who was pointing the gun at Nie Wenyuan, his temple was throbbing. Because he was anxious and worried, he kept struggling, and his hands and feet were worn out by the rope, and the pain made him feel cold all over.

Nie Wenyuan was shot twice and didn’t make a sound. At this moment, he could see the young man’s movements clearly, and his hanging fingers trembled uncontrollably.

“Qiu Tao, children should not be involved in the matter between you and me.”

“You’re right.”

Qiu Tao changed the subject, “Wenyuan, you are the one who is not kind. Our friendship for so many years has long been a grasshopper on a rope, but you want to cut the rope and jump off by yourself.”

Nie Wenyuan’s face was calm, “You shouldn’t have let people treat a little girl like that.”

Qiu Tao laughed, “Don’t you remember? You taught me the principle of strike first. At that time, when we were bullied and exploited. It’s all my effort that makes use of it, and it’s always the same when you use your brain.”

He didn’t shoot, and he didn’t put the gun down. He just pointed at Nie Wenyuan, with the position between his eyebrows, “To be honest, I didn’t expect that your niece would happen to hear something she shouldn’t have heard that night.”

“No way, You are so good at playing dirty tricks. I can’t play with you. In order to avoid any complications, I had to ask my subordinates to get rid of her. Damn it, who would have known that those men actually did that to her as if they had never seen a woman before?”

“Just did it, and was actually bumped into by Liu Quanwu who was passing by. He made a lot of noise and took the person away!”

There was only Qiu Tao’s voice in the warehouse, Huang Dan didn’t speak, and neither did Nie Wenyuan. They looked at each other like two beasts in trouble, licking each other’s wounds, feeling less panicked.

Huang Dan’s previous assumptions and speculations were all correct. Zhou Weiwei’s accident happened because she heard something harmful to her Jiujiu.

“Wenyuan, Liu Quanwu was not only a gambler, but also a womanizer. Don’t you know? During the years you were away from home, in the name of taking care of your niece, he had already become awfully dirty. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken the person away, and would have done the same thing as my subordinates. If your people hadn’t arrived in time, he would have strangled the person to death and even dismembered the body for safety.”

Qiu Tao sighed with a smile, “Your niece went crazy, and you sent someone to guard her. I didn’t know what to do at the moment. I didn’t expect Liu Quanwu to enter the New Century, and he recognized my assistant as one of the rapists that night. He used this to blackmail me, thinking that I am like that idiot Wang Ming, and would give him money to get rid of him, but he didn’t know that I am most at ease with dead people.”

“It’s a pity, Liu Quanwu didn’t know until his death that a good Xiongdi, in order to save himself, borrowed a knife to kill him and revealed his whereabouts to me.”

Nie Wenyuan was indifferent.

Qiu Tao is used to his indifference, “Wenyuan, I’m curious, did you give up Liu Quanwu because he knew something about you and would destroy your plan to whitewash yourself, or was it simply because of your niece?”

Huang Dan took a breath, not because of Qiu Tao’s words, but because the man’s legs bent and he almost knelt down on one knee. He had a worried look on his face, his mind was in a mess, and he just wanted to leave quickly.

Qiu Tao didn’t want to wait any longer, “Wenyuan, just die.”

Huang Dan said suddenly, “Qiu Shushu, why did you want to kill my Ge and my Jie?”

He gasped heavily, “Can you tell me? Anyway, it’s impossible for me and Jiujiu to make it out alive. Please make it clearer for us to die peacefully.”

Qiu Tao probably felt that there were all his own people outside. Nie Wenyuan was shot twice, so he is defenseless, so he said a few more words, “Your Jiujiu understands very well, he knows everything, and he enjoys watching the show from the sidelines. “

“Wang Ming and I worked together on a project and embezzled a large amount of money. He played tricks with me in front of my face and others behind-the-scenes, and even hid the ledger in his hand. In this matter, your Jiujiu and I help each other.”

“I asked your Jie to make an appointment with Wang Ming to meet at the kiln factory. I didn’t expect your Jie to be very lucky and just had a broken leg.”

Huang Dan asked, “What does that have to do with my Jie?”

Qiu Tao smiled, “Wang Ming truly loves your Jie. Only she can lure Wang Ming out. Now that I have used her, I cannot keep her. Children don’t understand. It is too dangerous to hand your control over to others.”

“As for your Ge, I thought that Zhou Weiwei was the only one who heard what shouldn’t have heard. I just found out not long ago that your Ge was also involved. He was drunk and accidentally said it. At that time, I was lucky that he and your Jiujiu had a disagreement, and did not tell the truth.”

Qiu Tao shrugged, and instead of speaking to Huang Dan, he pointed to Nie Wenyuan, “I didn’t expect you to know about it a long time ago, and waited for me on the stage.”

Nie Wenyuan’s breathing was no longer steady. The blood loss made his lips turn white, but his eyes were extremely sharp.

Huang Dan continued to delay and asked what he wanted to know, “Who were the people who did that to my BiaoJie that night?”

Qiu Tao said lightly, “There are too many, maybe five or six, why?”

Hearing Qiu Tao’s casual tone, Huang Dan wanted to swear. That kind of thing seemed like nothing to him.

Moreover, five or six, is it five or six in the end? His mission would fail if he missed it, “Can you tell me the names of those people?”

Qiu Tao looked at the young man as if he was crazy.

Huang Dan also knew that his question was unreasonable, so he looked at Nie Wenyuan.

Nie Wenyuan shook his head lightly.

Huang Dan’s eyelids twitched, Nie Wenyuan didn’t know, how would he find out the people who participated that night?

Besiode Chen Fei, Chen Xiaorou, Liu Quanwu and the others, are they considered targets?

No one can give Huang Dan an answer. His task this time is too difficult, with the greatest variables, and there is no way to fill it in.

Qiu Tao thought the young man was funny, “I didn’t expect you to care about this. Those few have all gone to meet underground. Don’t worry, you can see them later.”

Huang Dan thought of a certain possibility, and his heart skipped a beat. No wonder he felt something was wrong. It turned out that this mission was doomed to fail.

He was cheated.

This was simply a well-designed trap, and he jumped into it unexpectedly.

Earlier, before Mr. System went to prepare for the exam, Huang Dan asked him what would happen to him if the task failed. The other party said that he did not have permission and could not answer.

Huang Dan asked Mr. Lu, “I can’t complete this task.”

System, “That’s a pity.”

Huang Dan asked, “What punishment will I receive?”

System, “Decided based on task completion.”

Huang Dan said, “You guys tricked me.”

System, “Host Huang, this is the rule.”

Huang Dan，“……”

He took a deep breath, “Did you already know that I couldn’t complete this task?”

System said, “Lu is also working part-time.”

The implication is that his hand can’t reach that long yet.

Huang Dan asked the system to ask for the task screen. When he wanted to fill in Chen Fei, Chen Xiaorou, and Liu Quanwu, he paused again and decided to go out first, and then ask Nie Wenyuan to check for him. If he could fill in the correct names, they would be counted.

This way the punishment can be lighter.

Huang Dan even planned to fill in the name of Qiu Tao and Nie Wenyuan, what if he got it right? He can only rely on wild guesses now.

At this moment, Huang Dan’s nerve endings were pulled by the sudden ringtone of the mobile phone. He saw Qiu Tao answering the call, the smug smile on his face froze, and he threw the phone out in the next second.

Qiu Tao grabbed Nie Wenyuan’s clothes and roared angrily, his eyes looking like he wanted to eat someone, “Nie Wenyuan, you can even hurt a two or three-year-old child!”

Nie Wenyuan finally showed a relieved expression, “You touched my most important thing, so naturally I have to touch your most important thing too. Qiu Tao, you hid your twin sons very carefully. If it were a little later, and my little nephew and I would have died in your hands, then your twin sons would go to accompany us.”

“You should be lucky that my little nephew was stalling for time and you didn’t take action in advance.”

He said lightly, “Now it’s up to you to choose. If you choose wrongly, none of your twin sons will survive.”

Qiu Tao stared at Nie Wenyuan until his eyes became sore and swollen. He let go of his hands, his shoulders slumped, and the victor’s posture was completely gone. “If I let you go, I will be taken away in custody tomorrow. Wenyuan, you have forced me to think.”

He roared, threw the gun out forcefully, took a few steps back and sat down on the chair, “You won, Nie Wenyuan, take your people away and let go of my two sons.”

“Rest assured.”

Nie Wenyuan dragged his injured leg over, lowered his head and put his lips on the young man’s hair, “Let’s go home.”

Huang Dan suddenly became agitated, his intuition was violent, it was his instinct when danger was approaching, he yelled at the man, “Run fast!”

Nie Wenyuan also noticed something, he didn’t run away, and continued to untie the rope from the young man’s hand.

The rope sank into the flesh, and Huang Dan kept trembling in pain, “Quick…… run quickly……Jiujiu……you run for it……”

Nie Wenyuan didn’t even raise his eyelids.

His fingernails turned up, his forehead twitched, and the next moment he lifted up the chair together.

There is a bomb buried in a corner on the left side of the warehouse, and the countdown sound is like the god of death singing, and the song ends in two seconds.

Qiu Tao sat motionless on the chair, “Killing someone with a borrowed knife is the most complicated and also simplest move in the officialdom. Wenyuan, you use it often, but you haven’t fallen into it yet.”

He suddenly stood up and caught up with Nie Wenyuan, “Call your subordinates and let my son go, Wenyuan, hurry up……”

Before he finished speaking, the warehouse exploded.
