Mr. Gu’s little stand-in
Mr. Gu’s little stand-in: Chapter 82 Alcoholism

  He worked day and night, running between the police station, home, and the surveillance center in City A.

  He spent all his time looking for Shen Yu. He had an unshaven beard, his clothes were wrinkled and unwashed, he looked unkempt and slept only a few hours a day. Whenever he got any news about Shen Yu, whether it was true or false, he would run over. Without exception, he would return disappointed and completely forgot about the company’s affairs.

  However, in just a few days, the originally noble and aloof President Gu seemed like a different person. Who would have thought that this sloppy man is now the omnipotent figure in City A.

  After failing to find Shen Yu for a week, Gu Yingyi was deeply hit by the deep frustration and powerlessness.

  Every minute and every second after knowing the truth, whenever he thought of the little fool who was hurt by him, he would be tortured by self-blame and regret.

  He was afraid that he would not be able to find Shen Yu, and he was also afraid that what he would find was just a cold corpse that would never smile at him again.

  A normal Alpha couldn’t handle that much blood, let alone the fact that he was just a weak, thin, malnourished little fool who was pregnant.

  Gu Yingyi didn’t dare to think about it anymore. The longing and guilt for Shen Yu gnawed at his heart all the time, and every second was heartbreaking. He didn’t even dare to stand in Shen Yu’s perspective and think about how cruel he was to him.

  He couldn’t do anything because he couldn’t find Shen Yu. In a whole week, Gu Yingyi lost a lot of weight. His eyes were dim and he didn’t have the same lively look as before.

  He hid in the greenhouse in the villa where Shen Yu once lived and drank in a self-mutilating manner. No one knew how much he drank. There were a pile of wine bottles scattered on the ground. Gu Yingyi’s cheeks were flushed, his eyes were blurred and sad, and he burped and poured wine into his mouth.

  He hadn’t changed his suit for a week, had a circle of blue stubble on his chin, and was holding a cracked ceramic bear in his arms.

  He fondly touched the carefully glued cracks on the little bear, imagining Shen Yu collecting the fragments one by one and glueing them together carefully for an entire night.

  ”Shen Yu…” Gu Yingyi touched the crack and couldn’t help muttering.

  He wanted to numb himself with alcohol so that he could temporarily forget Shen Yu, but instead of making him forget, alcohol caused him to have hallucinations deep in his heart.

  He saw Shen Yu standing at the door of the greenhouse with Lele in his arms. Shen Yu was standing in the light, and the soft sunlight cast a golden halo around him. Shen Yu had a lovely smile on his face and called him gently, “Husband, what are you doing?”

  Gu Yingyi was stunned, staring blankly at the empty door. The wine bottle in his hand fell to the ground with a clang and rolled to the feet of “Shen Yu” who was holding the child.

  He saw Shen Yu puffing up his cheeks pretending to be angry, and looking at him with round eyes coquettishly, blaming: “Husband drank so much again, Yuyu and the baby don’t like you anymore.”

  ”Yu Yu, don’t go!” Shen Yu said as he turned around to leave. Gu Yingyi panicked and got up from the ground and rushed towards Shen Yu, trying to hug him.

  ”Bang.” The loud noise of the vase falling to the ground pulled Gu Yingyi out of the illusion. He still kept hugging the air, and the surroundings had already returned to reality.

  The vase was very big and was placed not too low. Gu Yingyi had just pounced on it and knocked over the vase. Behind the vase there was a small compartment hanging on the wall. Inside the compartment was a worn backpack with a pudding in it.

  Gu Yingyi remembered this thing.

  This was something Shen Yu had always carried with him, and he regarded it as a treasure.

  Gu Yingyi took off the backpack and unzipped it. There were a lot of miscellaneous things in the backpack, all of which were collected bit by bit by Shen Yu since he was a child.

  A transparent glass sugar jar filled with candies that Shen Yu was reluctant to eat.

  Gu Yingyi recalled that one time Shen Yu took a handful of candy and ran to the study to give it to him, and he threw the candy away.

  These things may be worthless in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Shen Yu’s eyes they are what he cherishes most.

  He threw away Shen Yu’s most precious feelings like garbage.

  The backpack also has a small compartment containing a photo.

  When he saw the content of the photo, Gu Yingyi’s whole body stiffened, and his memories slowly emerged. He clearly remembered when this photo was taken.

  It was he who sent Shen Yu to Zhou Chenghai and his men to play with, so that he could record a video that could threaten Zhou Chenghai and make him help him unconditionally. He took Shen Yu to buy clothes.

  The little fool didn’t understand anything and naively thought that he was just taken out to play. In fact, Gu Yingyi disliked his extremely rustic clothes and was afraid that Zhou Chenghai would not be interested in him so he specially packaged him up.

  Gu Yingyi took out the photo with trembling hands. It was the only photo they had together.

  In the photo, Shen Yu was smiling brightly, leaning intimately in his arms, while he had no expression on his face, and even revealed a strong impatience in his brows.

  If Shen Yu was not a fool, he would have noticed that his sudden kindness to him that day was a bit strange. But he was just bullying Shen Yu because he knew nothing at the time and handed such a simple and kind little fool to Zhou Chenghai to be hurt and insulted.

  A dense feeling of aches and pains spread across his chest. Gu Yingyi clutched his chest, his eyes felt hot, and he gently stroked Shen Yu in the photo with trembling hands.

  He felt like there was something stuck in his throat, his tears fell on the photo, and his hands holding the photo shook constantly.

  Illusion and reality are completely separated.

  Shen Yu didn’t come back, and neither did their Lele.

  Everything that just happened was just his fantasy.

  The huge gap in disappointment dealt Gu Yingyi an indescribable blow. He pressed the photo tightly against his chest and slowly sat down on the ground in dejection. He could no longer suppress his emotions that were on the verge of collapse. A tall man of over 1.80 meters covered his face and curled up in the corner, crying like a child.

  The moonlight outside the greenhouse was like water. The cold moonlight refracted into the house through the glass, shining on Gu Yingyi who was crying, making his figure look even more lonely and sad.

  ……

  On the eighth day after Gu Yingyi stopped answering the phone and went to the company, isolating himself from the outside world, Assistant Liu couldn’t stand it anymore and came to the villa.

  There are a lot of things waiting for Gu Yingyi to deal with in the company, and tens of thousands of people need to eat. Even if Gu Yingyi doesn’t consider himself, he has to think about other employees in the company.

  When he arrived at the villa, Gu Yingyi was still drunk in the greenhouse drinking. As soon as he entered the room, the strong smell of alcohol hit him in the face. Gu Yingyi was slumped among a pile of wine bottles like a drunkard who was about to die.

  Gu Yingyi didn’t notice his coming, or rather, he noticed but pretended not to see him.

  Assistant Liu frowned and called out to Gu Yingyi, “Boss Gu, you can’t keep being so decadent.”

  Gu Yingyi didn’t even raise his eyelids, immersed in his own world and turning a deaf ear to Assistant Liu’s words.

  He stroked the sweetly smiling Shen Yu in the photo. Company, huh, Shen Yu couldn’t be found. Nothing was important to him now.

  Gu Yingyi didn’t say anything. He burped and took another sip.

  Assistant Liu had never seen Gu Yingyi so depressed. He knew that Shen Yu’s incident was a big blow to Gu Yingyi, but Gu’s was so big that it was not something a small assistant like him could handle without Gu Yingyi. If he really could stand the pressure, he wouldn’t dare to come to Gu Yingyi rashly.

  Assistant Liu sighed, “Boss Gu, please cheer up. Not only will you not be able to find Mr. Xiao, but you will also ruin your health. If you collapse, who will go to find Mr. Xiao?”

  Gu Yingyi paused in his drinking, apparently he was somewhat concerned about what Assistant Liu said.

  Yes, he fell down, who will look for Shen Yu.

  Assistant Liu saw that it was working, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, “The police station sent a message not long ago that Mr. Xiao was spotted in a surveillance video. We checked the video and found that his back was indeed very similar. Then someone contacted the police and said that he had seen an omega with a similar condition to Mr. Xiao in a certain place. The police have already checked the clues and contacted that person.”

  Although the accuracy of this news is not 100% confirmed, the most important thing at the moment is to help Gu Yingyi cheer up again.

  These words seemed to fill Gu Yingyi with vitality. He excitedly climbed up from the pile of wine bottles, his steps staggering, but his voice full of joy, “Is what you said true? Where did you see him on the surveillance camera? Have you found him?”

  Assistant Liu shook his head. “We haven’t found him yet. The video isn’t very clear. The police just said it’s most likely Mr. Xiao. The surveillance video was taken near a bus stop in the center of A.”

  Gu Yingyi’s expression suddenly became depressed, but he soon became happy again, “It’s okay, I’ll go check it out, I’ll be glad to have some news.”

  As he was about to go out, he forgot that he had been drinking heavily for a long time and his body could no longer bear it. He could not even walk two steps.

  Assistant Liu supported him and said, “Boss Gu, you need to have a good rest. I have a copy of the video. The police have contacted the person who provided the clue. We will have the result as soon as tonight.”

  Gu Yingyi reluctantly stopped after hearing what Assistant Liu said. He stubbornly watched the surveillance video several times. There was no frontal face of Shen Yu in the video, but just the back and side profile were enough for Gu Yingyi to confirm that this was Shen Yu. Shen Yu was not dead, he was still alive.

  This news gave Gu Yingyi a boost and also gave him the motivation to continue searching.

  Assistant Liu asked him to have a good rest, so he slept for an hour and woke up every time. Then he asked Assistant Liu if there was any new information from the police. Gu Yingyi hadn’t slept for several days and nights, and his eyes were full of red bloodshot. After waiting for four or five hours, the police finally brought exciting news.

  The person who provided the clue said that the person was at his home and the police have now taken him to the police station.

  Gu Yingyi was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, and couldn’t wait to go to the police station. Assistant Liu couldn’t bear to see his appearance anymore, and said that the young man might be scared seeing you like this. Only then did Gu Yingyi tidy himself up in a hurry.

  The two drove to the police station. Gu Yingyi looked extremely nervous sitting in the car. He wanted to see Shen Yu, hug him and apologize immediately, but he was afraid to see Shen Yu not forgiving him.

  Gu Yingyi knew that he had committed a heinous crime and did not dare to beg for Shen Yu’s forgiveness. He just wanted to do his best to make up for Shen Yu for the rest of his life.
