The lights of the cars, the rivers of light that glittered in the city, flowed back and forth along the streets, and the various sounds from the shops and cafés, the soft sound waves that mingled into one another, hung like clouds over the city of desire and opportunity.
I leaned out of the window to see that I had a dream about this most prosperous city. I wanted to get ahead, to be different, to be a big star. Now that I was getting closer to my dream, was it really for a man who wouldn't give his heart to me?
Ask yourself, when do you doubt him?
More and more question marks appeared in my mind. They covered the entire ventricle like dark clouds covering a waning moon. Half a month of blind optimism had suddenly disappeared like the moonlight.
"Sister Shan, Sister Shan ~" Little Wang called out to me a few times. Only then did I come back to my senses and casually say "En".
"... Sister Shan, your phone has rung many times. "
"Oh." I took my cell phone out of my bag, saw the word "Gao Kan" popping up on the screen. After hesitating for a few seconds, I muted the phone and put it back in my pocket.
This is the first time I have rejected Gao Kan's call. After we separated for half a month, this is the first time I feel that I am not in a hurry to see him.
"Little Wang, increase the throttle."
"Huh?"
"Do you know how to drive?"
"... "Sister Shan," Xiao Wang turned around and looked at me, full of worry.
"Do not tell Gao Kan about my visit to the Gao Dong today, remember?"
"Yes." He didn't ask any more questions. "Your seat belt is fastened."
In the end, we didn't go on a rampage. We didn't even drive fifty yards when we were stopped by Zhou Jin's car.
The world wasn't that small. There were chance encounters everywhere. He said that he had something to talk to me about, so he followed me along the way and asked me to give him ten minutes to chat with him.
As it happened, for dinner we parked outside the Golden Beautiful Gate and went to the room he had reserved all year round. Before we got there, I ordered, and by the time we got to the box, the waiter was already there.
"Don't talk for now, I'm extremely hungry. Let me finish eating first!"
"Alright." Zhou Jin watched as I ate.
After eating heartily, I wiped my mouth and said, "Go ahead."
"Good news and bad news, what would you like to hear?"
"Cut the crap, just say it."
"The good news is that you don't need to look for Su Jiawang. The bad news is that the video related to the Kanagol was sold to a mysterious person by Dongsheng father. He doesn't know what that person will do."
My heart thumped, and I instantly had a strong premonition that it was Gao Junfeng who had gotten hold of this information. That year's incident was something that he had led and hidden, and it might even be possible that Dongsheng father's so-called revenge was just another scheme of his. His goal was to make Gao Kan give up his own life and listen to his orders.
Then, I thought, could it be that it was because of this that Gao Kan couldn't wait to leave the imperial city?
I asked Zhou Jin with a heavy heart, "What has Gao Kan been doing recently?"
Zhou Jin asked me in bewilderment, "The two of you will make three phone calls a day. Don't you know what he does?"
"I mean if there's anything wrong with him."
Zhou Jin tried to keep me in suspense, "We have already signed a secret agreement on this matter, I can't say …"
"Speak, I want to know." I stared at him.
"Good, good, good," Zhou Jin immediately surrendered, "The Kanagol has mortgaged the two properties in the capital and the property in Helium to my house. He seems to be planning to buy back all of Long Jihong's shares.
I asked Zhou Jin, "Then what do you think is the probability of him going bankrupt?"
"The Kanagol is bankrupt?" Zhou Jin laughed without hiding anything, "Are you kidding? As the son of the super rich Gao Junfeng, would he go bankrupt? Even if he lost badly in the purchase, Uncle Gao will not ignore it. After all, the Gao Family only has one son. "
"Do you think the Gao Kan that you know will go and beg Gao Junfeng?"
Zhou Jin hesitated for a moment before opening his hands, "If it was me, I would."
"Do you think that everyone has no backbone like you!?" I stood up in a depressed mood and picked up my bag. "Thank you for treating me to a meal. Let's go."
"Sister-in-law, do you really think that you understand Kanagol more than me?" Zhou Jin stood up with me and pointed at me: "Do you know where Kanagol is now? He is currently participating in a gathering that is frequently attended by our circle with Brother Yun, so why don't the two of us make a bet to see what kind of situation Gao Kan, who has lost his identity as a son of the Gao Dong, lost his fortune and suffered a crushing defeat? "
This question, after I left the Gao family, I had always been suspicious, once such a bright and beautiful man, can really accept that he would have nothing? That time, I didn't ponder over it too deeply. The time that Zhou Jin came out coincided with my hesitation, and I didn't know that he was sent by Gao Junfeng to act as a lobbyist, with the aim of strengthening my doubts and distrust towards Gao Kan, and disintegrating the alliance between the two of us that was fighting him together. They wanted me to believe that money was more important to Gao Kan than me.
And I almost fell for it that night.
When Zhou Jin followed me to Brother Yun's wife's birthday, in my heart, I silently played with the trump card Gao Junfeng revealed.
Firstly, Gao Kan is not his biological son. If he is not happy, Gao Kan will really have nothing at all. At that time, he will no longer be the "small height total" that everyone will praise. Other than me, he may also have nothing.
Secondly, Gao Kan did not know the truth behind his mother's suicide. It was not because he had quarreled with Gao Junfeng, but because he had traded her sleeping pills for medicine to treat her depression. He did not want her to go out and date those men. If the truth was found out, the feelings of reconciliation that he had gone through great difficulty would disintegrate once again. He had always blamed himself for not loving his mother when she was still alive, using his hatred of Gao Junfeng to make up for his guilt towards his mother.
Third, Gao Junfeng had the video of Gao Kan killing Gao Liao in front of him as proof. Once it was made public, he would become the target of public criticism, becoming a murderer and an abandoned bastard.
Just from these three points alone, we have no chance of winning. The key to this gamble is whether or not Gao Junfeng will play.
The moment he made a move, he would destroy Gao Kan. From material, to mental, to reputation, Gao Kan basically had no chance to make amends.
At this thought, my heart chilled. A feeling of helplessness that I had never felt before slowly eroded all the confidence I had been planning for the past half month.
I have a strong premonition that we don't have any chance of winning, I'm going to lose Gao Kan, or it could be said that Gao Kan is going to lose me.
