Sichuan City.

This is a city of opportunity where you can pick up gold by bending down, but also a city of crime where you can be shot by stray bullets if you stand up. Five major families compete for territory and business, and gunfire is the most common sound in this city.

People are afraid of it and rush to settle down in this city.

More and more people come in, more and more gold is found on the ground, and the battle between the five major families becomes more and more intense.

Finally one day, all the accumulated resentment burst out.

God brought a basin of water and poured it down, causing wind and rain all over the city.

Big raindrops pattered on the dirty and oily ground. Pedestrians hurried home as if they were being chased by ghosts, without taking a second glance at the dark alley.

There is only one young boy.

He stood there and hesitated for a moment, then walked over.

He knelt down and stared at the dusty mass on the ground for a long time. After a while, he stretched out his thin white finger and poked the mass.

no response.

He tilted his head, thought for a moment, took out a fruit candy from his arms and handed it over.

The white and tender little hands were stretched out like that, and a round green candy in the palm exuded the sweet fragrance of green apples.

The dirty hands suddenly grabbed the candy in his hand, and then stuffed the candy into his mouth.

The little boy was startled and fell to the ground. The small sky blue umbrella in his hand was almost blown away by the wind.

"Little fish!" a woman called anxiously.

The little boy turned his head and said, "Mom, I'm here!"

The woman in a white couture suit hurried over with two bodyguards, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the safe and sound young boy.

"Mom, there is someone here." Xiaoyu said to his mother.

The woman looked down at the dusty mass and frowned, "Let's go, Xiaoyu, dad is waiting for us."

Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, "But..."

A burst of chaotic gunfire erupted in the distance, somewhat blurred by the sound of wind and rain.

The woman picked up the young boy and said in a somewhat urgent tone, "Obey my little fish, our plane will be late."

The footsteps of a group of people walked away in a hurry.

The rain was still falling, and it hurt a bit when it hit people's bodies.

There was a sudden panic from the footsteps in front of me, and the woman's surprised voice said, "Xiaoyu?"

The little boy broke away from the woman's arms, ran to the alley on his short legs, poured all the candies out of his pocket and placed them in front of the group.

"I'll give it all to you...you have to be nice." He didn't seem to know what to say, so he could only say this.

The woman came over, sighed, and said in a softer voice, "Let's go."

The little fish took another look at the group, then pressed the small sky-blue umbrella with a stone and placed it next to it.

The woman took his hand.

One big and one small gradually moved away from the street.

Behind him, in the dark alley, the gray mass moved and barely raised half of its face.

From the stuck hair, a light-colored eye was exposed, and the departing figure was reflected in that eye.

Blood mixed with rainwater flowed from the other eye, dripping into the colorful fruit candies scattered on the floor.

…

Thirteen years later.

The plane from country F landed slowly, and a woman with sparkling eyes in a white dress led a handsome young man out of the airport in Sichuan City.

The appearance of both of them is very good, and they attracted a lot of attention along the way. When they saw their hands holding each other, in addition to sighing, they couldn't help but sigh that they are both talented and beautiful.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the airport, someone called the woman's name. Several young men in suits came forward to hug her one after another. The first man wearing a red tie had a conversation with the woman. After that, the woman introduced herself to the man.

The young people around her.

"Brother, this is my boyfriend. He is not familiar with Sichuan City. Can you let him stay at home for the next two days?"

The young man next to the woman has an upright posture, and his eyebrows are like a blurred ink painting.

The man looked at the young man with a scrutinizing gaze, and his gaze had a sense of oppression that made people avoid him unconsciously.

The young man's eyes were pure and clear, and he did not dodge. Those eyes that were not stained by dust were clear and gentle, making people want to pull him into the chaotic world.

Not from their world. Suitable for my sister.

The man looked back at the woman and said, "Okay."

The young man thanked him politely.

The man's attitude was not enthusiastic. He had more important things to say to the woman: "My family had known you were coming back, so we had prepared everything. Remember to say hello to your cousin first for dinner tonight."

After saying that, he paused again and said, "Behave yourself."

The woman's eyes turned, as if she thought of something interesting. She looked back at the man and replied obediently: "I know."

Others came over to help them put the boxes into the car. They got into a black car and were blocked by two other cars one behind the other.

At the same time, in a luxurious manor villa in Sichuan City.

Servants were preparing the evening banquet on the first floor, and there were several men standing or leaning on the stairs leading to the second floor smoking cigarettes. Men stood up and walked around in the corridor from time to time.

In the tall and spacious study room on the second floor with tightly closed curtains, a torture was taking place.

"I really don't know, I really don't know who it is-" The miserable scream was quickly blocked and turned into a muffled groan.

There are comfortable sofas in the room, huge bookcases filled with thick books, and people standing on all four walls of the room.

The torture continued.

At night, the dark car stopped at the gate of the manor and a group of people got out of the car.

"My cousin should be in the study right now. You will lead people over to say hello to him later, okay?" Gu Mingqiu reiterated.

"I know." Gu Mingxia replied lazily in a long tone.

When Gu Mingqiu turned his back, Gu Mingxia secretly stuck out her tongue at his back.

This playful look made the young man next to him curl his eyes, and he also became a little curious about the cousin.

The decoration in the villa is somewhat classical, revealing low-key luxury, but some small layouts are filled with the smell of money. When they entered, some people were lying on the leather sofas smoking, and some were sitting on chairs playing chess with each other.

There were more than a dozen people sitting or standing in the hall.

The Gu family is a big family, these are all family members of the Gu family, and there are even some who haven't arrived yet.

Someone turned around and saw them, and came up to hug Gu Mingxia.

Gu Mingxia introduced the young people around him to them in turn.

"This is my boyfriend Lin Youyu, who came back with me."

Gu Mingxia's parents were also there. They asked Lin Youyu some simple questions and then asked Gu Mingxia to take him to meet her cousin.

Gu Mingxia agreed and led Lin Youyu upstairs.

After leaving a little bit of the crowd, Lin Youyu thought for a while and finally asked: "Ming Xia, when I meet your cousin... is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Gu Mingxia looked at the young man's gentle and clean eyes and said, "Okay, I just want to meet you. My cousin has a good temper and is very good to his family. He won't deliberately embarrass you."

Lin Youyu pursed her lips slightly and lowered her long eyelashes, "I'm just... worried that I won't do well."

If the group of people in Lin Youyu's school saw his nervous and shy look, they would be shocked.

Gu Mingxia felt the pleasure of breaking off the flowers of the high mountains. She smiled and comforted Lin Youyu.

"Just behave normally. My cousin is a good judge of people. I can definitely tell that you are a good person. But..."

Gu Mingxia became a little more serious. She stood on tiptoe and whispered in Lin Youyu's ear, "My cousin does not have the same surname as us. His surname is Tang. You can call me cousin like me, or you can call him Mr. Tang.

But don’t call it wrong.”

Lin Youyu made a mental note and didn't ask for the reason. He just nodded to show that he remembered it.

The clock hanging on the wall jumped to seven o'clock, and the interrogation in the room temporarily stopped.

I recruited a lot of people, but I didn't get the most important thing.

The man in a black suit looked solemn and bowed his head to the person sitting behind the table, "Sir, it's our incompetence."

Everyone in the room lowered their heads.

They couldn't see the expression on the person's face, they didn't hear the answer, so they didn't look up.

After a long time, they heard a faint, emotionless voice.

"After interrogating for so long, we are all tired. Let's take a break and drink some tea."

"Yes." They replied in unison, and they raised their heads. Someone was preparing to serve tea.
