Gu Yingyi returned to the villa later than Shen Chao. He and Shen Yu returned at different times on purpose, probably because he was afraid that Shen Chao might see something and misunderstand something.
After Shen Yu returned, he went back to his room in silence. Shen Chao didn’t say hello to him, but stared at Shen Yu’s back with eyes like a knife.
The next day, Gu Yingyi went to the company early in the morning. After Gu Yingyi left, Shen Chao also put on a mask and a hat and went out.
He went to where Mu Changfeng lived. It was still the narrow corridor with the lingering fishy smell. It had just rained, and the ground was wet and muddy. The smell of the sewer mixed with the rain was pungent. Dead fish and rotten shrimps were thrown randomly in the corner of the trash can and piled up.
This is a vegetable market, and this area happens to be where stalls sell fish and shrimp. Since it has been raining today, no one is setting up stalls.
Shen Chao frowned and quickened his pace.
Finally he walked through the corridor and came to an old iron gate, and he knocked on it.
The door opened, and the rusty iron door creaked. The person inside, wearing a waterproof apron and plastic boots, was killing fish.
It seemed that he did not expect Shen Chao to come. The expression on his honest and tough face was stunned for a moment. He had not seen Shen Chao since he parted with Mu Changfeng last time.
Shen Chao’s face, which had undergone plastic surgery, no longer had the hideous scars. His pretty face looked a little unfamiliar, but Mu Changfeng quickly recognized him by the teardrop mole and eyes. He showed a look of joy. His hands were stained with dirt from having just killed a fish. He wanted to pull the person in, but when he saw his dirty hands covered with fish scales, he awkwardly withdrew them and took two steps back, looking a little embarrassed: “Chao Chao, your face is fine. Come in first. I’m dirty and won’t get that close to you.”
”I’ll go change my clothes. What do you want to eat? There are not many vegetables at home. I’ll go buy some.” Mu Changfeng was very happy about Shen Chao’s arrival, and even a little at a loss.
Mu Changfeng didn’t know about Shen Chao’s miscarriage yet. He obviously wanted to ask Mu Changfeng for help, so he was not in a hurry to leave. He said slowly, “I want to eat the fish you cooked.”
”Yeah, all right.”
Mu Changfeng went out for a while and bought some fresh vegetables. He also bought a few kilograms of cherries that Shen Chao loved to eat. After he came back, he washed the cherries, put them on a plate and brought them to Shen Chao, “Eat some fruit first, I’ll go cook.”
Mu Changfeng’s place was shabby and small. A table and a cabinet almost filled up the living room. It was even more crowded if two people stood there. Mu Changfeng went to the kitchen and Shen Chao followed him. He walked to the sink and helped Mu Changfeng. Mu Changfeng quickly took the dishes from him and said, “I can do it. You go sit down and have a rest.”
Shen Chao was pushed out of the kitchen by Mu Changfeng. Soon a table full of sumptuous meals was served. Mu Changfeng considerately brought bowls and chopsticks to Shen Chao. Fearing that he would dislike them, he also wiped the stool he was sitting on and the table in front of him.
Mu Changfeng picked up the best piece of fish belly and gave it to Shen Chao, and kept picking up more dishes for him.
Shen Chao lowered his head to eat, and Mu Changfeng kept watching him eat, “Chao Chao, is it delicious?”
Shen Chao hummed with a neutral tone, then put a piece of fish into his mouth. The fish was fresh and tender, and the cooking time was perfect, so it melted in his mouth.
I have to say, he really likes the food cooked by Mu Changfeng.
Mu Changfeng smiled and gave him another piece of fish maw. “It’s delicious. Eat more. How are you lately?” He paused and said hesitantly, “Chao Chao, have you finished your business…? How is the child? I’m worried about you and the child. Let’s go back…”
Shen Chao put down his chopsticks and interrupted him, “The child is gone.”
Mu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and didn’t react. The smile on his face froze. The next second he nervously checked Shen Chao, “Are you okay?”
The first thing he was concerned about was not the child, but Shen Chao’s health.
”I’m fine, but I need help with something.”
Shen Chao glanced at Mu Changfeng with his charming eyes, “Changfeng, you like me, don’t you?”
Just one glance from these eyes could make Mu Changfeng lose his mind.
Mu Changfeng felt that Shen Chao was a little strange today, but he still nodded sincerely, “I like you, I have always liked you.”
”Then are you willing to do anything for me?” Shen Chao raised his lips, with some tentative meaning in his mouth, “Even if you are willing to die?”
”Yes.” Mu Changfeng said without any hesitation.
Such a straightforward answer made Shen Chao stunned for a moment.
”Changfeng, I know you like me, but you know that it’s impossible for us to be together. You can never give me what I want, and I’m getting engaged to Gu Yingyi.”
”Although I can’t give you what you want, it’s still okay to meet occasionally.”
Mu Changfeng had heard of Gu Yingyi’s name. The current CEO of Gu Corporation in City A was completely different from him. Shen Chao’s words were very realistic. He was right. He could not give Shen Chao that kind of life. Mu Changfeng was silent, holding the chopsticks tightly, and smiled bitterly: “I know, as long as you can live happily, I will be relieved.”
Shen Chao finally told the purpose of this trip, “Changfeng, do you know how my child is gone? I have a twin brother, and he killed our child. He was also the one who had been trying to stand between me and Gu Yingyi. With him around, I can’t be happy!”
”Changfeng, I want you to kill him.” There was strong hatred in Shen Chao’s eyes, as if this person was not his brother at all, but an enemy with a blood feud with him.
Mu Changfeng had never expected that he would be asked to kill someone. He looked at Shen Chao in shock, “Chao Chao…”
”What? You don’t want to get rid of him for me? He killed our child! I was thinking that after the child was born, I would find a way to send him to you for you to raise, but he was killed by Shen Yu!”
Mu Changfeng didn’t say anything. It was quiet. The room was as quiet as death.
After a while, Mu Changfeng spoke, “I understand.”
Shen Chao smiled, sat down next to Mu Changfeng, put his arms around his neck, and drew circles on his chest with his fingers. He knew that Mu Changfeng had agreed, so he said, “Don’t worry, as long as you do it secretly, nothing will happen.”
He told Mu Changfeng that three days would be Lele’s seventh day, and that day Shen Yu would go to the Gu family cemetery alone. He told Mu Changfeng to find an opportunity to kidnap Shen Yu and then kill him in a deserted place.
As long as the person is dead, he doesn’t think Shen Yu can still be a nuisance to him.
Having achieved his goal, Shen Chao was in a good mood and had a meal with Mu Changfeng.
After dinner, Shen Chao left. Mu Changfeng stood at the door, looking at his back deeply as he got farther and farther away.
……
Three days passed quickly. On Lele’s seventh day, Shen Yu wanted to go alone. He had refused Gu Yingyi and others from the beginning. The driver took him to the mall, and he bought a lot of toys by himself.
The housekeeper told him that after a person dies, he or she will come back on the seventh day to take one last look at his or her family members before turning into stars in the sky.
Shen Yu missed his Lele so much. He hoped that Lele could appear in his dream once, just once. He just wanted to see Lele again.
The sky was gloomy and covered with gray clouds. He walked into the cemetery step by step with his arms full of toys.
He placed the toys next to the tombstone one by one and talked to Lele, “Lele, be good. If you miss daddy, just come to daddy’s dream. Daddy has always loved Lele very much.”
As he was talking, his nose suddenly felt sore and his eyes were blurred by tears. He was afraid that Lele would see him crying and get worried, so he held back his tears and continued to say with a smile, “Dad is fine, Lele, don’t worry about Dad. Dad is just like Lele, and we are both the strongest.”
Lele was born prematurely and the doctors said that the baby might not survive, but Lele miraculously survived. Shen Yu watched Lele grow up in his arms little by little from the size of a palm.
…his Lele is going to have surgery soon, and he will soon become as healthy as a normal child…
He will slowly learn to talk, learn to walk, and then grow up.
Shen Yu sniffed and wiped away his tears. A few raindrops fell from the sky and hit Shen Yu’s shoulders, soaking his clothes a little and bringing a slight coolness.
He looked up at the gloomy sky, and finally gently touched Lele’s tombstone and said softly: “Dad is going back. Come and see Lele next time.”
He stood up, looked at the tombstone reluctantly, then turned and left the cemetery.
When leaving the cemetery, the raindrops began to get heavier, and the rain mixed with the wind made the leaves rustle. He walked out of the cemetery and found that the driver waiting at the door was gone, and only the car was parked next to it.
It got dark quickly. Only ten minutes away from the cemetery, the sky became gloomy.
He rubbed his cold arms and looked around for the missing driver with some confusion.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the rain was pouring down. The heavy rain washed the ground, and Shen Yu was soaked in a moment. He anxiously covered his forehead with his hands, looking for a place to temporarily shelter from the rain.
The heavy rain made Shen Yu unable to see clearly ahead, so he hid under the wall of the cemetery. Suddenly, a man in a black raincoat appeared in front of him through the rain curtain. The man appeared so suddenly that he was only one meter away from him. The man was holding a sack in his hand, and the hood of his raincoat covered half of his face.
Shen Yu subconsciously wanted to run away in fear, but the man seemed to know his movements. Although his movements were not smooth, he quickly covered Shen Yu’s mouth with a piece of medicated cloth. Shen Yu grabbed the man’s arm, widened his eyes in horror, and whimpered for help. The medicine on the cloth was quickly inhaled into his nose. He felt the strength of his limbs was instantly drained, and then he felt a sudden pain in the back of his neck, his eyes went black, and he lost consciousness.
Mu Changfeng looked around and found no pedestrians. The surveillance cameras in the cemetery were also cut off. He put the unconscious Shen Yu into a sack, carried it on his shoulders, and limped away quickly.
The wind was howling and the rain continued to grow heavier, washing the ground clean without leaving any trace.
A dilapidated old van was driving on a wilderness road. The heavy rain gradually subsided, and the surrounding tall buildings were gradually replaced by lush trees. The morning light began to rise slightly on the horizon. The van drove for a long time until it drove out of City A and stopped at the suburban border of City A.
This place is deserted, with nothing but trees. The paths are overgrown with weeds, and it looks like no one has been here for a long time.
Mu Changfeng stopped the van, dragged the sack containing Shen Yu out of the trunk and threw it into the grass beside him.
He untied the sack. Shen Yu was still unconscious with his hands and feet tied. Mu Changfeng only untied the rope on Shen Yu’s hands.
He still couldn’t kill anyone.
His conscience would not allow him to do something so immoral, but he could not go against Shen Chao either.
”I won’t kill you, but whether you live or die, that’s your fate.”
This place is far away from the city. It is basically impossible for a person with an IQ problem to go back. If he can survive, he is lucky. If he cannot survive, it is also his fate.
