"We even talked about the topic of marriage. She seemed to have some concerns, but she still chatted with me. I said before that diamonds are just carbon, and gold is the dust of the universe, and she also said this."

Du Qinglan listened with interest at first, but the more she listened, the uglier her face became, and the more she listened, the more she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

She swallowed her saliva as if it was stuck in her throat: "Um... where is she... from?"

Yan Qing shook his head: "She said she was studying in the Imperial Capital, but she didn't seem to be from the Imperial Capital. She never mentioned where she was from."

"And her family of origin seems to be not very good. Whenever similar topics are mentioned, she will selectively ignore them and then change the topic."

Du Qinglan's eyes darkened: "Her online name...is it Jinggang?"

Yan Qing suddenly raised his head and stared at her in disbelief.

Jinggang, Qinglan...

"You are!" Yan Qing stood up immediately, "It's you?!"

Du Qinglan immediately held her head and begged for mercy. How could she have imagined that she had engaged in non-mainstream online dating and got the villain's boss?!

When she was in high school, apart from working and studying, her life was just like that of her original family, and she had few friends in real life.

In order to relieve her depression, she found someone to chat with online and developed a relationship with an online friend.

But she never took it seriously, and even lied to others that she had already attended university. The name of the university was Teito University, which she had always wanted to study. She used her imagination and the Internet to create a rich and fulfilling university life.

She didn't want to fall in love, she just wanted to find someone who could talk. The man opposite talked little, but he never bothered her, and she responded to everything she said.

That's all.

I just didn't expect that the other party was serious about it, actively planning their meeting, and even bought a ticket to the imperial capital.

Seeing that she was about to betray him, Du Qinglan had no choice but to agree to meet him and said that she would go find him. After being persuaded by him, the date for the meeting was determined.

Of course she couldn't go. The other party was dating a college student from Teito University, not a kid like her who hadn't even graduated from high school.

She didn't know how to explain or apologize, so she simply deleted all her contact information on the day of the meeting and disappeared from that person's world.

Isn't this the way adults say goodbye? He will definitely understand.

Yan Qing didn't understand.

He couldn't believe that his first love was given to a little kid. He always thought that he was being cheated on. One was his lover and the other was his brother.

So from that time on, it was difficult for him to trust others. After all, friends and lovers who had been friends for many years could betray him, who couldn't?

He pursues advantages and avoids disadvantages, works step by step, and only has calculations for everyone. As a result, the company grows bigger and bigger, and he accumulates more and more connections, and there is no one he can be close to.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to lie to you!" Du Qinglan shrank into a ball, "I really don't know how to see you, and I don't know how to explain to you..."

"Who would have thought that such a coincidence would happen to you... I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Yan Qing gritted his teeth: "You..."

"I deserve death! I know!" Du Qinglan said quickly, "But I definitely did not fall in love with you! I have never been in love except you until now!"

"Would this... make you feel better?"

Seeing Du Qinglan's cautious look, the fire that had just surged in Yan Qing's heart was extinguished again.

He laughed deeply and sat down next to Du Qinglan, leaning against the wall of the earthen kiln, not caring about the dust at all.

"You, aren't you crazy because of the stimulation?" Du Qinglan was a little scared and asked shivering.

Yan Qing shook his head and laughed louder.

Thinking about it carefully, Fu Shengqian only said that the girl who appeared that day came to see him. She probably found out where he lived at school and came to send a love letter, but he was tricked by Fu Shengqian who was at home.

He never confronted the girl face to face, nor did he think of a way to add Jinggang's contact information back, because he had already sentenced this relationship to death in his heart.

I just didn't expect that as long as he took another step, all misunderstandings would be resolved. At least he wouldn't have to look at everyone with covetous eyes and be cautious in the next ten years.

What a mistake.

"God has eyes, so let me catch you." Yan Qing said quietly, her eyebrows twitching slightly, "Look, isn't this retribution coming?"

Du Qinglan trembled: "Brother, look, you fired me and made it impossible for me to survive in the industry. In comparison, am I worse off?"

Yan Qing didn't blink, staring straight at her: "Yes, you are quite miserable. You kidnapped all my gold bars and recorded the password of my safe. What? You want to wait until everything is over before going back. Make a fortune?"

"Don't you dare!" Du Qinglan was about to cry, "Brother, I really know I was wrong. The gold bars are all there, not a penny less. Let's give it 50-50, 50-50, okay!"

Yan Qing sneered: "It's all mine, and I still want to share it with you?"

"Brother, you are not being unreasonable!" When it came to money, Du Qinglan became adamant again, "You have been eating and using me for a while, but you won't be happy if I share some money with you!"

"Think about it, without me, you would have died a long time ago. It's reasonable for you to give me some, right?"

Yan Qing stared at her and suddenly smiled: "Do you know why I have the habit of saving gold bars?"

"Because you told me that your biggest dream is to sleep on a bed made of gold bars."

"At first, I would buy one every time my business was successful. Later, I would buy one every time I thought of you. It's not a loss anyway."

"Du Qinglan, I don't want any gold bars, I'll give them all to you. But can you pay back what you owe me?"

Snap!

"Uh-huh!" Yang Yu staggered a step after being whipped by the whip, almost kneeling on the ground and leaning forward.

"Don't touch my sister!" Yang Yao hugged her and protected her in his arms, staring fiercely at the man holding the whip.

No, they weren't sure whether the person holding the whip was still a human being.

Those people's faces were pale, bloodless, and their eyes were out of focus. No matter how you looked at them, they looked like zombies wandering outside.

But these people don't eat people, they just direct them to work step by step. Just like the prison guards in the old days, they often beat them with whips.

Yang Yao and Yang Yu are both used to seeing dead people. If they were to identify them based on their appearance, these people must be dead, but why are they so different from ordinary zombies?

Yang Yu shook his head, broke away from Yang Yao's arms, gritted his teeth and continued to carry the stones.

After she and Gantian entered the base, they were forced to hand over everything, then registered their identities and received the labor they had to do.

Gan Tian was weak and could not do heavy work, so he was assigned to the Logistics Department, while Yang Yu was assigned to the Labor Department.

The work of the Ministry of Labor is very chaotic. Sometimes they are moving bricks, sometimes they are building walls, and they even go to the mine next to the base to mine.

Unlike serious bricklayers and miners, most of them have no relevant experience and knowledge at all, and they just repeat the same actions. The supervisors do not care whether they are doing well or not, only whether they have done it or not.

Things took a turn for the worse on the third day, when Yang Yao finally arrived at the base after a lot of hard work. Being physically strong, he was naturally assigned to the Ministry of Labor, where he met Yang Yu.

The three people immediately proposed to leave the base and go to find the official base. However, they did not expect that the supervisor took them directly to the depths of the base and used leather whips to make them dig holes and carry waste soil day after day.

The workers here are all ordinary people who want to leave the base, and the supervisors have changed from normal people outside to this group of dead people who are different from zombies.

They don't know how to communicate with others, and they can't speak. They just patrol back and forth with long whips, like one machine after another. When they see people who are passive and slow at work, they will whip down the whip and force them to work like animals.

They are obviously dead, but they don't rot, and they don't even smell at all.

They also have no desire to eat humans. The uncontrollable appetite of ordinary zombies is not reflected in them.

Yang Yu and Yang Yao had already sensed something was wrong here, but now they were facing dozens and hundreds of weird zombies, and their weapons had been confiscated early in the morning.

Even the two of them would not be able to leave with Tian Tian completely unharmed.
