Probably because his mind was full of unknown thoughts, Gu Xingze went to bed very late that night after returning home from the suburbs.
His sleep quality has always been poor, partly due to the kidnapping he experienced when he was a child. Later, his mentality adjusted, but the problem of poor sleep did not improve much.
If a person doesn't sleep well, it can easily affect his mood. He usually suppresses this kind of emotion, which actually improves his work efficiency, and he doesn't pay much attention to it.
But what happened recently is not related to work, nor is it simply a matter of not sleeping well that makes me feel unbearable, but the kind of...
The boring feeling of running up and down the stairs without knowing what you are going to do.
I finally fell asleep in the middle of the night, but I had another dream.
In the dream, he was standing outside a dark and old attic, slowly going upstairs along the creaking stairs.
The entire small attic looked like a plastic box buried in the ground, with an unpleasant smell in the coolness. Only a few cameras above the head were flashing red, which made people feel chilly just looking at it.
After going upstairs, only one room was visible. He opened the door, and it was clean and tidy inside. Under the pink gauze curtain, there was a girl in a white skirt sitting on the bed with her knees in her arms, crying softly.
He reached out uncontrollably to lift the gauze curtain, and saw that the girl had black leather chains wrapped around her ankles, and her legs were covered with ambiguous scars.
The other party noticed the movement and flinched. When he looked up and saw him, his tear-filled eyes immediately filled with surprise, and then he quickly rushed towards him regardless of the chains on his ankles.
Gu Xingze felt that he subconsciously reached out to catch her, then lowered his head to meet her trusting eyes, and the tears that had not yet been shed dripped down his cheeks and onto the back of his hand.
He trembled in his sleep as if he had been splashed with hot oil.
Then the girl crawled up to him with her hands and feet, the chains jingled, and he held her slender ankles inexplicably. The touch was unreal, but the girl's crying voice was like what Fahua Temple heard.
The sound of chanting sutras rang clearly in his ears.
"Help me, help me, okay?"
"I only trust you."
"Only you are a good person. Please help me. I only believe in you..."
I only trust you.
This sentence was like a demonic barrier, lingering in his mind.
When the sky was bright, strong light shone in through the unshaded glass windows, and the heat on his face made him wake up instantly.
Covering his eyes with his hands, Gu Xing frowned and let out a breath.
Most dreams last only a short time. By the time he looked up in the mirror after washing, the scenes in the dream had faded and become blurry, making him unable to recall them.
Only the sentence "I only believe in you" is still clear, and even the hot breath spraying behind his ears when Yun Shu said this sentence and the pitiful trembling sound are clear.
He put his arms on the sink and looked at himself expressionless in the mirror. After a while, he turned on the faucet again and poured two handfuls of cold water on his face.
When he opened his eyes again and looked in the mirror, he finally felt better. With a heavy look, he took out a tissue and wiped the water droplets from his eyebrows that were about to flow into his eyes.
I didn't pay attention to other places immediately, and water drops dripped along my chin and onto the shirt I had just changed.
The silk shirt quickly became soaked and clung to the skin, and the muscle lines could be vaguely seen.
After putting on his shirt again, Gu Xingze called Assistant Lin and asked him to postpone all arrangements for this morning, and then drove out to meet other people.
When it was almost noon, Chang Jin was called to eat again.
Chang Jin was born in Rome, unlike the princes in the circle. He was just an ordinary veteran, with relatively strong abilities at most.
He didn't have much ambition, so he opened a transportation company. But everyone he knew well knew that the focus of his career actually lay in cooperation with Party J.
He can get things that others can't touch.
Gu Xingze asked him to come out without asking him, he just said it straight to the point.
"Do you have a better disguised contact device and pinhole camera inspection device?"
Chang Jin raised his eyes and looked at him: "You want? What, the Gu family has recently had a big problem worth hundreds of billions?"
These things are generally used when evidence collection is required. But for the company boss to worry about it personally, the case that requires evidence collection must be large enough to be justified.
"No," Gu Xingze said concisely and concisely, "give it away."
"As a gift?" Chang Jin blew the tea provided by the restaurant. After taking a few sips, he was in the mood to tease him, "Woman?"
It was just a joke at first, but Gu Xingze actually nodded, then frowned and changed his words: "Girl."
For girls, this title is not common, but it appears a lot recently.
"Is it the secret girl on Ning Siyun's phone?"
A series of things that have happened to Ning Siyun and the others recently seem to be related to this girl. I don't know what the story is.
Gu Xingze said "hmm" and Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Ning Siyun and the others deceived people to monitor them for fun, and now they gave them to Zhou Jingmo."
No matter how much he guessed, he never guessed that this was the case, and Chang Jin's expression became condensed.
Some of the high-ranking officials and the second generation of rich people have a lot of fun, and it is not uncommon for them to commit crimes and commit crimes that lead to death. To be honest, this matter is both unexpected and "reasonable".
After all, they are a group of lawless people. Under the protection of the big gray net, moths have eaten holes in the sky.
Chang Jin especially hates people who take pleasure in women, but according to the way he works, he probably won't get involved in this matter.
"You want to help her? Why?"
"She's asking me for help," Gu Xingze said.
Chang Jin laughed briefly: "Just because she asked you for help? Is it that simple?"
"It's that simple."
The two people looked at each other. After a while, Chang Jin nodded and said, "Okay. I have those things here. When do you want them?"
"As soon as possible." He had not been able to see Yun Shu's current situation with his own eyes, so he didn't know how she was doing.
At this time, the dishes arrived, and the waiter carefully placed each dish on the table without making any noise, and the whole process was quiet.
When it was the last dish's turn to be served, Gu Xingze said calmly: "Put it in front of me."
"Okay." The plate of salted egg yolk crispy pumpkin stood out among the exquisite dishes. The golden color and overbearing fragrance were very eye-catching.
"Since when did you like to eat this kind of food? Aren't you particular about not eating anything with too much flavor?" Chang Jin asked meaningfully.
"My aunt at home recommended it," Gu Xingze picked up a piece of pumpkin and ate it, frowned slightly before swallowing it and said, "It's good to try something with a different taste once in a while."
"It's not bad."
Chang Jin also tried it and commented: "It's suitable for girls to eat."
This is not just a busy CEO trying new dishes on a whim, it's a single man's iron tree blossoming.
Buying a contact device and eating other people's favorite dishes, secretly feeling my heart out where others can't see it.
"Is a glimpse so powerful?" Chang Jin laughed softly, "Love at first sight?"
