rebirth retreat

Chapter 37

Arriving at the cemetery where Gu Ning was buried at the fastest speed, Yan Dongting got out of the car and ran towards the mountain.The long steps of the cemetery seemed endless, and Yan Dongting felt more desperate the higher he went up.Finally, he came to Gu Ning's tombstone.

Candles were flickering, cigarettes were lingering, and there were two bouquets of small daisies quietly placed in front of the stele. The tender yellow petals were gently blown by the wind, as if the child was greeting him.

He was still late.

At that moment, Yan Dongting felt that all the strength in his body was gone.

Do you want to continue chasing it?

He let out a heavy breath, and sat down powerlessly beside the tombstone.Later, he found a black backpack behind the tombstone.He recognized that it belonged to Gu Liuguang.

He immediately took the bag over, opened the zipper, and when he saw what was inside, his heart was shocked and he showed an ecstatic smile.

This is Gu Ning's album!That's great, Liu Guang is only leaving temporarily, and he will come back!

With trembling hands, he took out one of the albums, and Yan Dongting caressed the cover with great cherishment and nostalgia.

He'll be back, right?

"Happy birthday, Ningning."

The cemetery is very quiet. Looking around, the gray and white tombstones stretch down from the mountain, like a peaceful and peaceful lake.

Yan Dongting sat beside the tombstone and opened the notebook in his hand.

For many years, he thought that he would never see these things again, but he never thought that he would be able to hold them in his hands again today.

Looking at those immature lines and that familiar fierce villain, those pictures that had already collapsed into pieces emerged before his eyes.

……

【My brother said that his friend's singing is also very good. Can you sing a song for Ningning? 】

……

[Uncle, you look so pretty when you smile, don't be so fierce all the time. 】

……

[Uncle Yan, you should also be friends with Ning Ning, so that someone will accompany Ning Ning to love her brother...]

……

【Uncle Yan, do you love Ningning? 】

At that time, he did not answer, but drew a bright red heart on the paper, and wrote her and her brother's names on the side.After the little girl finished reading, she hugged his neck with a smile and asked him why he didn't write his own name. He pointed to the heart and said - this is me.

I will give you a heart that is just as complete.

At that time, the hospital was found, the appointment with the specialist was made, and the time for the operation was fixed. However, everything was too late.

If at that time, I hadn't lost my mind because of his behavior of kneeling down to others, all this would not have happened, and Ningning would have lived a healthy life.But, how could he beg that person?He doesn't know what that person did from beginning to end. He would rather accept that person's conditions and be played by that person than bow to me. I'm just like... am I annoying?

His heart was sore and swollen, he closed the album, and closed his sore eyes tiredly.

At this moment, the cell phone in his coat pocket rang.The sound of the bell was particularly abrupt in such a quiet and dead place, which made Yan Dongting's heart beat hard.

Taking out the phone, the screen displayed an unfamiliar call.The ringtone has persisted for a long time and has a tendency to be indomitable.Yan Dongting hesitated for a moment, pressed the answer button, and put it to his ear.

Before he could open his mouth to ask, he heard a moderate conversation coming from the other end of the phone.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to talk about when you come to me?" Listening to this question, Yan Dongting could vaguely recognize that this voice was Gu Liuguang who is now aliased as "Gude".

"Of course I'm here to tell you the truth." Then, another female voice came from next to my ear.The female voice was very close to the microphone, but it made Yan Dongting stand up suddenly, and the album fell to the ground, spread out.

Is it Gu Jie? !

"What truth?" Gu Liuguang asked on the phone.

"You want to know, who took those photos back then?" Gu Jie asked with a smile.

Yan Dongting was startled, and a strong ominous feeling immediately surged in his heart.

In the elegant private room of the coffee shop, Gu Jie sat face to face with Gu Liuguang and Gu De.

After listening to Gu Jie's words, Gu Liuguang frowned suddenly, and said coldly, "What do you mean?"

Gu Jie took out a recording pen from the handbag on the table, handed it to Gu Liuguang and Gu De, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, please listen to it together."

Gu Liuguang glanced at him suspiciously, picked it up, and pressed the play button.

——If Liu Guang knew that you were the one who ordered people to take those photos, would he have killed you?

In the quiet private room, a slightly vague female voice sounded.

And the place where the sound came from came from the recording pen that Gu Liuguang was holding in his hand.

—I think he will, he almost killed me in the first place.You said how cruel this child is, his own mother dared to do it.How could I give birth to such a money-losing product.

After a while, Yan Dongting's cold voice came from the recorder:

—Are you threatening me?

When the recording is played here, it will be gone.

Gu Liuguang's face was pale, and he was almost unable to grasp the object in his hand. Gude quickly grabbed his hand and looked at the calculating woman.

"My dear son, you are so stupid. In order to get revenge on me, you did not hesitate to follow him, but you never thought that he did everything. How about you, did you trust the wrong person?" The woman laughed.

"What's the purpose of you listening to this recording for me?" Gu Liuguang squeezed his hand hard to regain his sanity.

"You are my son after all. I know you hate Yan Dongting, and so do I. Since we all have a common enemy, why don't we cooperate and take revenge on him? What do you think?"

However, Gu Liuguang obviously didn't trust her: "How do I know you didn't mean to harm me?"

"Could it be that at a time like this, do you still choose to trust that Yan?"

Afterwards, the other end of the phone fell into a silence that made Yan Dongting feel horrified and desperate. He leaned stiffly on Gu Ning's tombstone, and the cold air penetrated into his body everywhere, freezing all his thoughts.

After a long time, Gu Liuguang's voice came from the other end of the phone: "You can even kill Ning Ning cruelly, let alone me?"

"So, you don't plan to cooperate with me? Are you willing to watch Yan Dongting act as his big boss like a normal person? Maybe there are other people around him, that Li Yiran, no Is it because you couldn't wait to hook up with him after your accident?"

In a certain box of the restaurant, Gu Liuguang was trembling with anger at Gu Jie's words.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Gude quickly clenched his tightly clenched fists under the table, looked at Gu Jie on the opposite side with a cold face, and asked, "If we want to cooperate, what do you want him to do for you? "

Gu Jie smiled in satisfaction, took out a USB flash drive from her bag, and handed it to the two of them, "It's very simple, you just need to plug this thing into Yan Dongting's computer, and you're done."

Goode frowned: "What's in it?"

"There is the most powerful computer virus in here. As long as his computer is plugged in, Dongtian Media's company intranet will be completely paralyzed, and all their information will be leaked. No matter how powerful he is, I'm afraid he can't afford it. A big loss. At that time, he will be nothing more than a stray dog, why don't we let him deal with it?"

Goode was slightly startled.He is a computer student, so he naturally knows that there is a virus that can do what Gu Jie said.It's just... Is that really her purpose?

"He is the most suspicious person, and it's not good to entrust this matter to anyone. But you are different——" Gu Jie looked directly into Gu Liuguang's eyes, "He won't guard against you when he guards against anyone."

Looking at those sinister eyes like poisonous snakes, Gu Liuguang's mood stabilized instead. He looked at the USB flash drive on the table, and said nothing with a cold face.

Of course, Gu Jie also knew that Gu Liuguang would not trust herself so easily, so she said, "It doesn't matter if you don't make up your mind, you can take it back first, and then answer me when you think it over. As for that, just treat it as a gift." It's your meeting."

After speaking, he pointed to the recording pen in Gu Liuguang's hand.

Seeing that Gu Liuguang and Gude didn't mean to talk to her at all, she smiled, put the phone that was on a call behind the bonsai back into her bag without showing any trace, and got up to leave.

When she left, she looked into Gu Liuguang's eyes and said with a smile, "I'll wait for your good news."

The busy tone kept coming from the phone, Yan Dongting put down his hand in despair, the phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

He didn't expect that when the woman came to him at that time, she had this idea in mind when she said that sentence.At that time, he was angry at her for threatening Liu Guang's weakness of not trusting him, but he didn't expect to refute him, but she tricked him.

If he told Liu Guang now that the photo matter had nothing to do with him, it would be absolutely impossible for Liu Guang to believe it, right?

His heart was so cold that he was unconscious, his eyes were empty looking at the pale sky, and the bitterness that had nowhere to vent spread from the corners of his eyes until it reached the depths of his soul.

Liu Guang must not believe it, Liu Guang never believed him.

Ever since the finale banquet that year, everything has been irreversible.From then on, no matter how much he explained and how much he said, in Liu Guang's eyes, it was always just an excuse for himself.What's more, it's a fact that he likes Liu Guang, and it's also a fact that he takes advantage of others' dangers, and he has no way to justify it.Since there was no way to explain, he was reluctant to say more, he thought that as long as he was always good to Gu Ning, Liu Guang would one day rely on him again like when he first met.But in the end, even Gu Ning fell because of him...

Liu Guang refused to forgive him, and he never forgave himself.

If taking revenge on him and killing him can make Liu Guang no longer suffer, then he is willing to bear all of this without any complaints.

Yan Dongting picked up the picture album that had fallen at his feet, and put it properly in his backpack.On the tombstone, Gu Ning's smile is so pure and lovely.He reached out and brushed her hair lightly as before.

"Ningning, I'm sorry, I really don't know how to go on. For seven years, he never believed in me, even if he changed his body. I think it's time for me to let go. "

"Don't worry, your brother's depression has been cured. He now has many good friends and classmates around him, and he no longer rejects everyone's approach as he used to. He treats them as gently as he treats you. He would smile at them, be kind to them, but only to me..."

Taking a deep breath, he said in a hoarse voice:

"I will wait here for him to come back, and return your things to him. From then on, I will completely withdraw from your lives and never see you again."

A gust of cold wind blew, and the candle swayed with the wind, and then completely extinguished. The petals of the little daisy were also blown off by the wind, and they swirled and floated to his feet.

In the silent and vast forest of steles, there is such a small corner filled with a desperate sadness.
