Black Lotus - Chap 144
Gu Yansheng parked the car to the side of the street and got out of the car. He raised his eyes to the high school on the opposite side of the street. A light flashed in his eyes and turned to the alley behind the school.
Once again in the alley where he was kidnapped, Gu Yansheng stood in a daze, as if seeing himself lying next to the ledge calling for help again…
Gu Yansheng raised his hand and stroked the ledge, staring at the bite marks on his hand for a moment.
He had dreamed of everything there countless times in those years since he was covered with wounds to the escape from the kidnappers…
That musical note necklace…that gentle voice…that white back…
Gu Yansheng walked to the place where he passed out and kneeled with his back against the shelf, taking out his necklace and raising it to the sun as he did in the past.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his head, many pictures that he had never dreamed of before flashed in his mind…
“Help him…please help him…we are in the alley near Linsen Street, please come, he lost a lot of blood.”
“Don’t be afraid… the doctor is coming soon, I won’t let you die… I’ll lead them away, I will let you live…”
The confused Gu Yansheng saw the musical note necklace and pulled it off. He heard what the person in front of him said to him, and suddenly stood up and ran out, getting farther and farther away from him…
“Don’t go!”
Gu Yansheng suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was still in the alley. He looked down at the necklace, his eyes full of surprise.
Lead away? Why lead them?
Shen Luoan said that he was injured while taking him away from the kidnappers. It was two people hiding behind a ledge…
Gu Yansheng’s eyes darkened: “What did Shen Luoan hide?”
He suddenly realized that Shen Luoan’s words were full of flaws, but at the time, he seemed to grasp the straw, he didn’t notice everything he had given for Shen Luoan.
But if Shen Luoan lied, where was the person who saved him during all those years? What happened after he passed out that year?
This time he had to check it out himself, he didn’t want to guess at random anymore…
The phone rang, it was from Lu Yun.
Gu Yansheng pressed his temple, turned to look at the alley, and walked out.
“Did you not watch the Qin family’s press conference? Mr. Jiang already intends to cooperate with them, because now everyone thinks you are the one who killed Tang Lunxuan! You have to go immediately to the public relations department for your explanation!”
Gu Yansheng’s face turned dark: “It wasn’t me who did it, why should I explain! I’ll let people find out who is framing me, so please don’t interfere in this matter, mother.”
After hanging up the phone and walking to the parking place, Gu Yansheng was confused as he walked to the car at a disorderly pace. He staggered and almost fell when he was about to pull the door.
“Sir, are you okay?” A voice came from behind, Gu Yansheng turned to look impatiently.
The voice came from a middle-aged man dressed as a doctor in a white lab coat.
Gu Yansheng glanced at the name tag on the doctor’s chest, frowned: “It’s none of your business.”
He stretched out his hand to open the door and was about to leave, but suddenly his body stiffened and looked at the person outside the window, he hurriedly shouted: “Wait.”
Gu Yansheng opened the car door and walked to the doctor, his eyes flickering slightly, and asked: “Are you a doctor in BA Hospital?”
“Yeah, and you are?”
He took a deep breath and asked bluntly: “Do you…remember a high school student covered in blood was taken to your hospital by an ambulance? You were the attending doctor.”
The man was taken aback, took a look at Gu Yansheng, and suddenly realized: “I remember, it’s you? The kid injured by the kidnapper?”
“Do you remember the details of that time? After calling, did you see someone else around here? Or did you meet anyone on the road?” Gu Yansheng stepped forward and asked in a vague voice.
“I wasn’t in the ambulance and didn’t go to the scene. I heard from a colleague that it seemed that only you and another child fainted in the alley and didn’t see anyone else. What’s wrong?”
“Do you have any memories of that time?”
The doctor shook his head.
A look of disappointment flashed in Gu Yansheng’s eyes as he turned around and drove away.
The doctor frowned and said: “By the way, I remember that the one who dialed the phone wasn’t very similar to the voice of the person next to you, as if they were two different people. I was still wondering…”
“What did you say?”
Gu Yansheng suddenly grabbed the doctor’s hand and asked excitedly: “A different voice? Wasn’t the same voice as the one taking care of me?”
“Yes, maybe the ambulance was called by someone else.”
Gu Yansheng didn’t pay attention to what the doctor said, but froze in place and thought over and over again about the strangeness in the hospital back then…
He asked how he escaped, but Shen Luoan hesitated and said it wasn’t clear.
But it turned out that he didn’t even know if Shen Luoan rescued him…
Gu Yansheng was under constant stress on the way back as he drove back, his headache was getting worse and worse.
All those points went to Wen Niannan…Wen Niannan was the one who saved him?
Gu Yansheng stopped the car to the side of the road and squeezed the steering wheel for a long time. He turned on the phone to call a private investigator under him and he saw the news of W.E. on Weibo.
He saw Wen Niannan’s name on the top search list, clicked on and looked at it. Suddenly, his eyes widened suddenly, his eyes were full of disbelief.
“That necklace… how could it be in his neck?”
Wen Niannan was recording an interview, the host was sitting across from him and kept asking questions.
“We know that your mother also won the M City Piano Competition. Your piano skills have reached a higher level long ago, there was no need to participate, was it because your mother participated?”
Wen Niannan looked at the camera and said in a low voice: “I have always wanted to participate. I like this competition very much, I also want to be like my mother.”
“Then what do you think of the last champion Shen Luoan stealing your song?”
“Innate talent cannot be stolen. There is karma for doing anything. I don’t want to think about these unnecessary things to hurt my body. Now I just want to take care of my father and do my beloved career…”
It was already afternoon after the interview, his father called and said that he had to deal with something at the company so he had to leave, but he left a meal for him.
Wen Niannan parked the car and walked to the door. Suddenly a sound of the car came from behind him.
He turned around to look, seeing Gu Yansheng stepping towards him when he got out of the car.
Wen Niannan’s body became stiff, he hurried to the door to flee, but the key wasn’t inserted into the door, and was hugged by the person behind him.
“Gu Yansheng, you bastard! What do you want to do! Let me go! Let go of me!”
“Hush…don’t be afraid…yes, I’m a bastard, I know you are afraid of me…let me just say it, okay? Please…” u Yansheng’s tone was a little different, a little softer than before.
“Gu Yansheng let me go.”
Wen Niannan watched him cautiously close to the door, but Gu Yansheng was stung by the disgust and fear in the eyes of the man in front of him.
“Okay… I let you go, I won’t do anything, I will let go.” Gu Yansheng let go of his grip and took a step back, raising his eyes to stare straight at the person in front of him, for fear that Wen Niannan would be angry.
It was he who saved him… but he misunderstood Shen Luoan for so many years and did so much to Wen Niannan…
“Wen Niannan, I…”
Wen Niannan suddenly opened the door and fled into the room after Gu Yansheng released him, he slammed the door shut…
Gu Yansheng panicked when he saw that Wen Niannan was about to close the door, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the door frame but was suddenly caught by the door that was about to close.
“Uhm…”
Wen Niannan was startled when he saw the red and swollen wrist at that moment but he opened the door.
“What are you…what are you going to do…”
Gu Yansheng’s forehead was painful and full of cold sweat, and he hurriedly said: “I have nothing to do. I want to ask you for an answer, okay?”
Wen Niannan looked at Gu Yansheng’s flustered expression with a bit of horror.
Something was wrong… Gu Yansheng had never spoken to him in such a low posture.
Gu Yansheng took out the necklace from his pocket with a painful and trembling hand, he asked with a trembling voice: “Wen Niannan, I want an answer…did you save me back then?”
Suddenly there was silence in the living room, only Gu Yansheng’s painful gasps.
Gu Yansheng stepped forward and said: “Tell me…don’t you? Speak!”
Wen Niannan didn’t speak but stared at the necklace blankly.
Seeing him staring at the necklace, Gu Yansheng quickly explained: “This is the necklace you dropped when you saved me…I kept it all these years. You wore it back then…”
“I didn’t! ”
Wen Niannan stepped back and shouted in a low voice. It turned out to be guilty of knowing the truth…
“I know you just don’t want to admit it, I…I will check…I will find out everything from that year, I won’t let you deny it…”
“You’re lying…”
Gu Yansheng took out his phone and show him the photo of junior high school as he held it in front of him, he said: “Your mother won the competition. You still wore it when you were in junior high school. You also wore it in high school. It’s you…you told me not to sleep and called an ambulance, right? You rescued me, right?”
Wen Niannan lowered his head and still didn’t speak.
“I know you just don’t want to admit it, I…I will check…I will find out everything in the past, and I won’t let you deny it…I will call to check…”
Snapped…
The phone was hit by Wen Niannan to the ground.
Gu Yansheng looked at the phone with a cracked screen on the ground, his heart stabbed.
“What’s the point of saying yes or no? We’re divorced, and I am now ten and a hundred times happier than those three years ago, what use is it for you to mention the things of the year now…”
Wen Niannan squeezed his hands and raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, his eyes crystallized slightly.
Regardless of his injured hand, Gu Yansheng pressed the door again, and said in a panic: “Why didn’t you tell me that you saved me? If…if you said at the beginning we might not be like now…”
“Gu Yansheng, remember what I said on the day of our divorce?”
Wen Niannan stared at Gu Yansheng and said word by word: “No matter what the reason is, don’t come to me in the future, don’t disturb me, how did you answer?”
“I”
***
Wen Niannan pushed him and closed the door. Gu Yansheng staggered back. Seeing that the door was closed, he rushed to knock on the door, his voice trembling slightly.
“Wen Niannan…I like you! It’s not because I knew you saved me, I liked you before I divorced you! It’s not guilt…no…”
Wen Niannan inside the door leaned against the door listening to the screaming outside the door, he slowly slid to the ground, hugging his legs tightly, letting a depressed cry leave his mouth…
That sound of “I like you”, he used to hope for that for many years. Even if he said that he didn’t love him, that he let him go, but even after hearing it, he still couldn’t control the emotional breakdown in his heart.
