Chapter 26

After being sent back that day, Friedrich didn't show up again for half a month.Secretary Qin thought about how much easier his work was, and guessed that the last words his boss said that night still fell into Friedrich's ears.

Gu Huaiyu's flesh wounds healed quickly, but he said very little. Except for Qin Kai and a few cronies who gradually became familiar with him, he still didn't like to see other people.

This gave Qin Kai a headache.

The news of the explosion at sea had already spread outside, and many people who were watching came to greet them.Although the progress in tracking down Gu Huaipei was not good, but after all, there was no threat to his side.Take care that Gu Huaiyu should attend two social events in the next few days, show his face, and dispel some ill-intentioned speculations.

Since Gu Huaiyu himself lacked interest, he finally decided to hold a dinner party at home, and not too many people were invited.

When confirming the guest list, Qin Kai asked, "Do you want to invite Mr. Fu?"

Gu Huaiyu didn't show any abnormality, the hand flipping the book continued to move steadily, and threw the question back, "Do you need to invite me?"

"It's still needed for business." Qin Kai answered from an unmistakable angle, seeking truth from facts.

"Mmm." Gu Huaiyu didn't even raise his head, he snorted and accepted the arrangement.

This day happened to be when Gu Huaiyu was discharged from the hospital, and his personal belongings had already been packed by a servant and delivered to his bedroom.As soon as he entered the room at night, he saw the necklace on the bedside cabinet, and he picked it up involuntarily.

"Mine?" he asked Qin Kai.

"Yes." Qin Kai answered while secretly praying that he would not continue to ask about the origin of the necklace.

Fortunately, the servant outside the door rescued him in time, saying that the doctor had arrived to treat Gu Huaiyu's back injury.

After the examination, the doctor specially reminded that some wounds are deep and will leave scars.Gu Huaiyu was in a trance all the time, didn't care too much, and asked the housekeeper to send him out after getting dressed again.

Seeing this, Qin Kai was also ready to leave, "I have nothing else to do, so I'll leave first."

He waited for Gu Huaiyu to nod as usual, but the person sitting on the sofa was lost in thought and did not respond.He had to call out again, "Xiao Yu?"

Gu Huaiyu turned his head slowly, and Qin Kai realized that he had been staring at the Japanese bell just now.

"I have something to ask you," he said.

"What?" Qin Kai came over and sat down in front of him.

"Who sent this?" He pointed to the plant.

Gu Huaiyu didn't say whether to buy or take it, as if he had confirmed all the details of the story, except for one main character.

Qin Kai thought that what should come should come, so he paused for a moment, and said directly, "Friser."

The answer seemed to be within Gu Huaiyu's expectation, he rolled his eyes and reached out to touch the rough skin of the plant.

Watching his movements, Qin Kai asked very cautiously, "Do you remember?"

Gu Huaiyu was vague, "A little bit."

Qin Kai couldn't figure out how much he remembered from this sentence, but at least he could tell that he was not very happy.He then looked at the Japanese bell, "It seems to be dying, should someone change the bottle tomorrow?"

Sitting there, Gu Huaiyu was silent again, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

However, Qin Kai was keenly aware that for a moment, his expression looked extremely painful.This is very rare, it has never happened since he was tortured by Gu Huaipei in his teens and lost part of his sense of pain.

Objectively speaking, Gu Huaiyu's memories of Friedrich couldn't be tied for good or bad. From a purely probabilistic point of view, the proportion of unpleasant memories should be higher.

The loss of pain sensation is only in the field of neural response, and will not provide any relief for heartache.

Two days later, a group of well-dressed men and women came to the door accompanied by the first lights.Friedrich came a little later, without taking anyone with him. His injury was almost healed, and the scab on his forehead fell off, leaving a light gray mark.

He entered the villa and saw Qin Kaizheng following behind Gu Huaiyu step by step, reminding the identities of the guests in a low voice.

Gu Huaiyu's eyes swept over, hiding subtle scrutiny and alienation.He was indistinguishable to Fritz now, neither the upward arc of his mouth nor the speed of his blinking had changed in any way.

"Mr. Fu." Qin Kai greeted first.

Gu Huaiyu nodded at him, and raised the champagne glass in his hand, looking like he didn't want to say anything, and planned to use a sip of wine to perfuse it.

It was not easy to see him, but Friedrich felt unhappy.He wanted Qin Kai to go further away, or simply drive away everyone else in the room, but in the end he could only say bluntly, "Xiao Yu, don't drink until the injury is fully healed."

The corner of Gu Huaiyu's eyes moved, and he repeated what he said countless times tonight, "Thank you for your concern."

Qin Kai, who was two steps away, felt fresh and somewhat black humorous when he heard them talking like this.

Counting the past few years, Gu Huaiyu has never understood the principle of delayed gratification. He couldn't resist taking any candy that Friedrich gave him, and he didn't hold back when it was hot.

Now a handful of candy is placed within easy reach, but he doesn't even look at it.

They turned and went to socialize in front of the others.The sparkling water in the champagne glass was almost drunk before Gu Huaiyu escaped from the banquet, walked through the courtyard through the side door, and walked towards the building where the bedroom was located.

Friedrich chased after him, and when he was about to reach the fountain, he called him, "Xiao Yu."

There was a servant beside him, so Gu Huaiyu gave face and turned around with a blank face.

"There's something to show you," Fritz said, taking a step closer, invading his social distance.

Gu Huaiyu did not retreat, but stood at the bottom of the steps, and had to raise his head slightly when talking to him, "You can hand it to Ah Kai."

This forced Friedrich to remember the last time he looked at himself with his head up like this, it was pitiful, and he was saying half-truths "I just want you to see me".

It was the same face, but he thought that the current Gu Huaiyu might not want to say such things anymore.

"I'll give it to you myself." Friedrich insisted, rolling his Adam's apple.He walked down the stairs and came to a distance of [-] to [-] centimeters from Gu Huaiyu, "Want to watch it here?"

Behind the flowers of the fountain are the tables and chairs for the tea break, Gu Huaiyu walked in that direction silently.The servant went to bring some refreshments, but he didn't sit down with Friedrich, but just stood near the flowers and watched the man quietly.

Friedrich turned on the projection screen and showed him a video, which was in a chaotic neighborhood abroad, with people shaking and blood stains everywhere.Several people fell to the ground, and the photographer confirmed them one by one, and removed their camouflage hats and beards.

As soon as the face of the third corpse was revealed, Gu Huaiyu knew who it was. He blinked a few times, "Gu Huaipei is dead?"

"The genetic comparison was done, it was him." Friedzer said, "He died."

The order he gave was that as long as the person was brought back, regardless of life or death, the mercenaries would be a little easier to start.

After watching the video, Gu Huaiyu stood for a while, then suddenly came over and sat down, picked up a cup of tea, and warmed his hands.

After drinking half a cup of tea, he said, "You did it?"

Friedrich didn't answer positively, so it is considered affirmative, "I have already informed Qin Kai about the rest."

Gu Huaiyu tilted his head, staring at him through the mist of black tea.

The rich tea fragrance and the sprinkling of water vapor make people very moist, making Friedrich recall the dream a few days ago involuntarily.He spoke lightly, revealing that he was desperately trying to make Gu Huaiyu happy, "Gu Huaipei is always troublesome in life."

Gu Huaiyu snorted, put down his teacup, and turned his face away.But he didn't get up and leave, as if he knew the man had something to say.

Sure enough, Friedrich said, "Xiao Yu, how is your injury?"

Instead of asking how much Gu Huaiyu's memory had recovered, he asked about his injuries, which surprised Qin Kai who had just listened to it when he walked nearby.Just as he was about to make a sound, Gu Huaiyu caught a glimpse of the figure first, and made a quick and subtle gesture with his right hand hanging by the side of the chair.

Qin Kai was startled, but retreated knowingly, and called the servant away.

"All right."

Friedrich hesitated again and again, and asked, "Did you remember the past?"

"No." Gu Huaiyu said, as if he was playing a question-and-answer game with Fritz.

"Are you very concerned about this?" He said, turning his face away to look at Friedrich, and asked slowly in a flat voice, "What did I have to do with you before?"
