CH 70

Early in the morning, Wen Jianing drove to pick up Ke Xinfan.

Ke Xinfan was holding a small travel bag in his hand, and when he approached and saw Lu Jinlang sitting in the passenger seat, he opened the rear door and sat in.

The first sentence he got in the car was, “Are you planning to go back to see our parents?”

Wen’s family would rather not talk to him, and started the car.

Lu Jinlang said, “I planned to, do you think it is inappropriate?”

Ke Xinfan looked at him. He was very angry when he just learned about Lu Jinlang and his brother. Although he is not in this circle, everyone knows how messy the entertainment industry is.

He thought his brother was in unspoken rules. Although his younger brother is a degenerate who can’t do it with women, it doesn’t mean that he can watch his younger brother let other men do him.

But now, Ke Xinfan knew that he had probably made a mistake. He felt that the two of them seemed to be together seriously, rather than the unspoken rules he had thought.

He lit a cigarette for himself, then remembered something, and handed it to Lu Jinlang, “Do you smoke?”

Lu Jinlang refused, “No, thank you. But your wound has not healed, so it’s better to smoke less.”

Ke Xinfan didn’t say anything, took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand, and then exhaled a white mist.

Wen Jianing opened the car sunroof silently.

“Where are you going?” Wen Jianing asked Ke Xinfan. He noticed the travel bag he was carrying.

Ke Xinfan said, “You don’t want to see me, can’t I go out and work in a different place?”

Wen Jianing felt a little strange, because Ke Xinfan had been back for so long and didn’t actually do anything. He was beaten up and admitted to the hospital by Lu Jinlang in confusion. If he has to say something, it’s more like Ke Xinfan just comes to see him and antagonizes him with some ugly words along the way. Wen Jianing himself is not a petty character, and Ke Xinfan has calmed down. He felt that Ke Xinfan was not so hateful.

He drove halfway, and was replaced by Lu Jinlang.

Wen Jianing took the phone to watch the navigation.

Ke Xinfan said, “Have you been back to see our parents in a few years?”

Wen Jianing said sarcastically, “Have you seen our parents in a few years?”

Ke Xinfan fell silent.

Wen Jianing said slowly,  “There are many changes around, and after one or two years, I couldn’t find a way back.”

Because he was not familiar with the road, it took a total of nearly two hours to reach the cemetery on the outskirts of the county.

When he got out of the car, the wind was a bit cold, and Lu Jinlang helped Wen Jianing to button up the front of his neck.

Wen Jianing didn’t say anything, Ke Xinfan went to the shop on the roadside to buy a bunch of flowers, and walked up the hillside with flowers in his arms. Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang then followed him up.

Because it was not a special occasion, there were only very few people who came to the cemetery to pray. At first, Lu Jinlang wore a hat and pressed it down very low. Later, when there was no one around, he took it off.

Wen Jianing followed Ke Xinfan not far behind. He didn’t know where the Ke family’s parents’ tombs were.

And Ke Xinfan was also a little at a loss. He only remembered the approximate location. After looking around for a while, he found the tomb and placed the flower in front of the tombstone.

The tombstone is a two-person tomb. Wen Jianing looked at the two people in the photo, but he felt like he was looking at complete strangers. There was no way to feel sad. Of course he could act very sad and in grief, but he didn’t think it was necessary because he didn’t know who he was performing for.

In the end, he just squatted down to his parents like he came to visit his friends and offered incense to the two old people piously.

In Lu Jinlang’s view, he just felt that there was something wrong with Wen Jianing’s state. He didn’t know how the Ke family’s feelings were in the past. According to his understanding, probably because of physical reasons, there was always an emotional distance between their family.

After paying homage to his parents, Ke Xinfan stood up and smoked a cigarette, and said, “I should go.”

”Where are you going?” Wen Jianing asked.

Ke Xinfan said, “What’s your business? You don’t welcome me anyway.”

Wen Jianing calmly said to him, “If you don’t treat me with this kind of resistance, I think we can communicate more smoothly.”

”Oh?” Ke Xinfan said, “Who is against whom? Aren’t you afraid that I will expose your affairs, and afraid that I will use you as an ATM to threaten you to get money?”

What he said was the truth, and Wen Jianing did not refute it.

Ke Xinfan continued, “Why? Have you thought about killing me and burying me? So no one will know your secret anymore?”

Wen Jianing said, “You think too much.”　

Ke Xinfan waved his hand indifferently, picked up his travel bag, and said, “Don’t rush to kill your big brother. It doesn’t sound like that one day you two break up. But you still have to beware of him taking your secrets around and talking nonsense. At that time, you can still find your big brother to come back and help you kill someone.”

This time Lu Jinlang said, “You think too much, I don’t need an ATM.”

Ke Xinfan smiled and stretched out his hand, making a posture of shooting Lu Jinlang in the chest, then stepped back and said, “Take care of my brother.”

After speaking, he turned and left.

Wen Jianing watched Ke Xinfan walk away and stood still for a while.

Lu Jinlang said to him, “Let’s go too, maybe he really just wants to come back and see you.”

Going back to the parking lot, Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang drove down the mountain. On the side of the road just not far from the gate of the cemetery, they saw Ke Xinfan standing on the side of the road waiting for a bus.

Wen Jianing drove the car to Ke Xinfan’s side. Before he reached his side, he suddenly saw a van stopping next to Ke Xinfan.

Ke Xinfan stood by the window and talked to the van driver. He turned around and looked towards Wen Jianing and their car.

Wen Jianing thought it might be some unlicensed car.

At this time, the van door suddenly opened. Someone pulled Ke Xinfan into the van from the inside, then closed the door and started driving out frantically.

Wen Jianing was taken aback, he didn’t stop the car, and he subconsciously chased him out.

Lu Jinlang frowned slightly and said to him, “Don’t be too anxious, be careful.”

Wen Jianing said, “Who is that?”

Lu Jinlang thought for a while, “Didn’t Wen Tinghuan say that he owes money to someone outside? Could it be that someone came up.”

Wen Jianing felt that the possibility was very high, and said to Lu Jinlang, “Let’s call the police.”

This road is a winding mountain road. Although it is not very steep, it is also winding and he does not dare to drive too fast. The van in front seemed to run wildly. Wen Jianing chased after it carefully, but he was also afraid that the van might overturn if it drove too fast.

Lu Jinlang took out his cell phone and was about to call the police.

Wen Jianing’s phone rang at this moment. He glanced at the screen display, and it turned out to be Ke Xinfan’s number.

Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand to answer the phone, and said “Hello”.

It was not Ke Xinfan’s voice over the phone, but a young man who yelled angrily, “Don’t chase!”

Lu Jinlang asked him, “Who are you?”

The man didn’t answer, but shouted, “I told you not to fucking chase! Do you not understand?”

Lu Jinlang calmed down a lot, and continued to ask, “Who the hell are you people? I’m calling the police!”

”Fuck!” the person on the phone said, “Don’t you dare to call the police, or whether you believe it or not I will kill Ke Xinfan!” As he said, he seemed to be beating Ke Xinfan. Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing could hear Ke Xinfan’s muffled sound.

The person who answered the phone handed the phone to Ke Xinfan and said, “Tell them to stop chasing, or we will kill you!”

Ke Xinfan gasped, and said to Wen Jianing and the others, “Stop chasing, it’s me who owes money. It’s okay. Just leave me alone.”

Lu Jinlang heard the words and said, “How much money do you owe, tell them, I will help you pay it back.”

Ke Xinfan hadn’t spoken yet, but the phone was stolen again. The person who called just now said, “Stop first and don’t chase again. I’ll contact you!”

Lu Jinlang was also worried that something would happen if Wen Jianing kept pursuing like this, so he said, “Okay, contact me.” Then he said to Wen Jianing, “Let’s stop first.”

Wen Jianing stepped on the brake, and at the same time the phone was also hung up.

Because he was concentrating too hard, he is now panting a little.

Lu Jinlang put a hand on his shoulder and calmed him, “Relax, they just want money. If they kill someone, they will get no money. It’s not worthwhile.”

Wen Jianing also understands this. There is no real relationship between him and Ke Xinfan. He chased him out on an impulse just now, probably because the words before Ke Xinfan left touched him.

Lu Jinlang began to make a few calls one after another, looking for someone to check the license plate of the van, looking for someone to track Ke Xinfan’s cell phone, and then to find someone to find out who Ke Xinfan owed money. He didn’t plan to negotiate with these little guys, but he had to talk directly to the boss behind them.

When Lu Jinlang hung up, Wen Jianing looked at him and was silent for a while, then suddenly said, “Is it possible that Ke Xinfan colluded with someone to blackmail my money?”

Lu Jinlang was a little surprised, “Why do you think so?”

Why does he think so? Because he was not Ke Xinfan’s real brother. He calmed down and began to think about countless possibilities. He had no evidence, but he just felt that this was also a possibility.

Lu Jinlang said to him, “You seem to be in a bad mood these past few days. Have you been affected by Wen Lin?”

Wen Jianing shook his head.

Lu Jinlang changed positions with him and drove by himself. It was still early at this time, so he planned to go back first.

Wen Jianing said to him suddenly, “If I am not Ke Xinhang, what would you think of me?”

Lu Jinlang glanced at him, “Then who are you?”

Wen Jianing said, “I am a dead person, who suddenly returned to life by borrowing the corpse of Ke Xinhang. I am not Ke Xinhang himself.”

Lu Jinlang smiled when he heard the words, raised his right hand and touched his head, “Don’t let your imagination run wild, your brother will be fine.”

The other party that says they will contact them has not called again.

That night, Wen Jianing lit a cigarette on the balcony a little irritably.

Lu Jinlang walked out to see him, and said to him, “Don’t worry, things are progressing, and the other party hasn’t contacted us for a while. I guess they are still undecided about what to do.”

Wen Jianing turned to look at Lu Jinlang, leaning back against the fence on the balcony, and said, “I’m not in a hurry.”

Lu Jinlang walked to him, “Is there something you want to tell me?”

Wen Jianing pressed the cigarette butt out, hesitated for a moment, and said again, “I am not Ke Xinhang.”

Lu Jinlang asked him, “Don’t you want to save Ke Xinfan?”

Wen Jianing was silent for a moment and shook his head, “No, I want to save Ke Xinfan, but it has nothing to do with what I am telling you now.”

Lu Jinlang didn’t speak at all, waiting for Wen Jianing to continue talking.

Wen Jianing thought about how to word it, and said, “From the first time we met, what you saw was not Ke Xinhang.”

Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand on the railing, “So what? Since it was you who I saw at the beginning, why does not being Ke Xinhang matter to you?”

Wen Jianing thought that Lu Jinlang probably still didn’t believe it. He said, “So I don’t have any memory of Ke Xinhang in the past. When I first saw his body in this state, I was also desperate.”

Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand and touched his face, “Why did you choose to tell me at this time?”

Wen Jianing said, “Today, we went to see Ke Xinhang’s parents, and I became more and more afraid of not finding my existence. What if one day I forget who I am?”

Lu Jinlang asked softly, “Then who are you?”

Wen Jianing looked at him and was about to talk when the phone he placed in the room suddenly rang.

Lu Jinlang said, “Answer the phone first.”

The call really came from the person during the day, and he asked Lu Jinlang to take 10 million in cash to redeem Ke Xinfan.

Lu Jinlang asked him, “He owes you 10 million?”

”Yes,” the man said, “That much. You can transfer the money or you can let the man die.”

Lu Jinlang refused to take his threats and said calmly, “Sure, if you kill the man, you can’t get a penny and you will go to jail. Just think about it yourself.”

The man was a little flustered, “Then what do you propose?”

Lu Jinlang said, “Who is your boss? I want to see your boss. It is reasonable to pay off debts. We could have sat down and had a good talk, but if you had to kidnap and kill, you could run out of business soon.”

They seemed to have discussed it and hung up.

Ending the call, Lu Jinlang turned to look at Wen Jianing.

Wen Jianing shrugged, “Wait until this matter is over.”

Lu Jinlang walked over and hugged him lightly, and said, “Would you like to see a psychiatrist with Wen Lin?”

Wen Jianing smiled, “I’m really fine.”

There was no news from the kidnappers, but Lu Jinlang asked Lu Yunan to arrange some people to go to the city where Ke Xinfan worked before. It was found out that Ke Xinfan was forced to stop working because the construction site accident was not handled well. He owed a lot of money, so he packed up his things and ran away. Although the amount owed is less than 10 million, it is still some millions. However, according to Lu Yunan, there seems to be something fishy in the middle, and Ke Xinfan may have been cheated.

Lu Jinlang couldn’t solve it on his own, so he asked Lu Jinxin to help him come forward and ask the boss to come out for a talk.

After two or three days, Lu Jinxin called Lu Jinlang to come out for dinner and brought Wen Jianing with him.

The place to eat that day was in a private room of a large hotel restaurant. Wen Jianing went with Lu Jinlang, only to realize that it was not just Lu Jinxin, but there’s also Li Rong.

Li Rong threw a cigarette to Lu Jinlang, but Lu Jinlang didn’t smoke it.

Li Rong said, “I know that Boss Yuan, and I have dealt with him in the past. Their way is not very clean.”

Lu Jinlang nodded.

Wen Jianing frowned, “Triads?”

Lu Jinxin said, “It’s inevitable in business. Everybody, be polite and talk properly.”

Wen Jianing saw Lu Jinxin and suddenly asked, “How is Tongtong?”

Lu Jinxin was taken aback by his question and said, “He’s okay. He was in kindergarten recently and the court has already given the sentence. The custody right belongs to me.”

”Well,” Wen Jianing replied, “Bring him over to play when you have time. I miss him a lot.”

Lu Jinxin looked at him for a while, and reluctantly said, “He misses you, too.” After that, he added, “My mother misses you too, so you should come to our house when you have time.”

Lu Jinlang looked at him coldly.

Lu Jinxin said, “Why are you looking like that? What did I say wrong?”

Li Rong interrupted them, “If you guys want to talk about family affairs, you can go back and talk slowly. Let’s settle today’s matter first.”

Lu Jinxin nodded, “Sit down first.”

A few of them sat down in the private room first, and Boss Yuan was the last to arrive.

Boss Yuan Yuan is a bald and potbellied middle-aged man. He looks round and kind, but Wen Jianing knows that he must not be as simple as he looks.

As soon as he walked in, he greeted Li Rong and Lu Jinxin enthusiastically, and then pointed to Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing and said, “Big stars!” It was as if everyone had been a long-lost friend.

It’s not the first time Wen Jianing has dealt with this kind of person. Although he feels difficult, he is not at a loss. Besides, there are Lu Jinlang and the others by his side.

After Boss Yuan sat down, he never said anything about Ke Xinfan, but talked and laughed with them. Until the wine was poured, he suddenly said to Wen Jianing, “I heard that Ke Xinfan is your brother?”

Wen Jianing replied, “Yes.”

Boss Yuan said, “Oh, I had a misunderstanding with your brother in the business. He owed me money and ran away as soon as he had a chance. I have been looking for him for a long time.”

Lu Jinlang said, “In this case, Boss Yuan, why don’t you invite Ke Xinfan out to sit down and solve the problem? There is nothing in this world that can be solved better than money.”

Boss Yuan laughed when Lu Jinlang said this. He shook his head and asked, “What is the relationship between Mr. Lu and Mr. Ke? I know you are all big stars. I’ve only seen you guys on TV before. “

Lu Jinlang replied, “I am the director of the movie he is shooting. My actor can’t feel at ease filming because of his brother’s affairs. Boss Yuan, how can I feel relaxed?”

Boss Yuan just laughed when he heard that. He didn’t know whether Boss Yuan believed him or not.

Li Rong interrupted at this time, “Boss Yuan, you heard my brothers say that the problem of money is the best problem to solve, so let’s clear the problem while we are at it.”

Boss Yuan nodded with a smile, “Okay, then it’s easy to do, I will invite Mr. Ke out to speak.” Although everyone knows what happened, he still said, “I don’t know what’s going on a few days ago. He bumped into the hands of my men. Everyone knew he still owed me money, so they detained him…” After speaking, Boss Yuan made a phone call.

After a while, they saw two people bring in Ke Xinfan, who had a blue nose and a swollen face.

The author has something to say:

Why is it all BL? Li Rong is a bisexual. If he likes Wen Jianing, it seems that everyone thinks it’s normal. Why is it abnormal to like Wen Lin?

And the others inside are BG, but I won’t write about BG in detail. Whether there is a second CP or not, it won’t take up a lot of space

Not in good shape today, QAQ

Notes:

I wonder if Lu Jinlang is going to be the one who need to go to a psychiatrist if he discovered that Ke Xinhang is Wen Jianing (☆Θ艸Θ)
