Chapter 128 Counting down with you

At noon, Tang's jewelry company building was in chaos.

The entrance of the company was crowded with passers-by and reporters who had heard the news, and the security guards were so busy that they barely stopped them outside.

"What's going on inside?"

"I don't know! I heard that the police are here, and it seems that someone has reported that Tang's accounts are not clean..."

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze! Let me take a picture!"

"...Wait, is that Tang Tang? The one next to him is Lu Yuxing!"

When everyone turned their heads, they saw a low-key black car parked in the parking lot of the building, and three people got off from it.

Lu Yuxing's face was gloomy, he was wearing a black windbreaker, and he wore sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.Tang Tang beside him showed a clean face, without covering it, full of anxiety.

The reporters smelled the news and were about to rush forward when Lu Yuxing gave them a cold look.He pursed his lips, his lips were sharp, and he exuded a displeasure.

The people who were about to rush up were stunned for a moment, not daring to move.Lu Yuxing took Tang Tang's wrist, led him, and walked quickly into the gate.

Xiao Li guarded them from behind and entered the hall.

In the clean and bright hall, a few people in uniform surrounded them and blocked them from the elevator.

He Li was sitting on the sofa in the corner, and when he saw Tang Tang approaching, he rushed up to meet him in three steps at a time.It is rare for him today to have no make-up on his face, and he looks a little haggard.

Lu Yuxing consciously retreated behind Tang Tang.Today, he is Tang Tang's bodyguard.

"What happened to my brother?" Tang Tang asked.

He Li looked back at the policemen, and said in a nutshell: "Someone reported your brother's company, saying that they issued a large number of false invoices..."

"Is there evidence?" Tang Tang frowned, "After my brother took over, he never did such a thing."

He Li paced back and forth anxiously, and said in a low voice, "This kind of battle probably means that some evidence has already been obtained."

Tang Tang froze for a second, and suddenly had a guess in his heart.

He turned his head to look at Lu Yuxing, and the two looked at each other tacitly.

"Has it happened before?" Lu Yuxing said.

Tang Tang shook his head.

After a while, he said, "Is it related to wisteria?"

Xiao Li hid behind them and asked cautiously, "What... who is Zi Teng?"

At this moment, the elevator not far away made a "ding" sound, the door opened, and a group of people came out of it.

Tang Tang's eyes were sharp, and he saw the man in the middle at a glance.

"Tang Ruize!"

He Li almost rushed forward, but was stopped by several people at the door.

Tang Ruize's face was solemn, and he was wearing a neat suit.Even with four policemen around him, they still looked calm and composed.

He glanced at He Li and the people behind him.

"Let me have a word with my brother." Tang Ruize said calmly, neither humble nor overbearing.

The policeman blocking the door made way for Tang Tang to pass.

Tang Tang walked up quickly, and the policemen beside Tang Ruize did not back away, still standing like steel.

"Brother, what's going on?" Tang Tang's eyes trembled, "You wouldn't do something like that."

Tang Ruize looked down at him, and said in a deep voice:

"Tang Jialang has temporarily taken over the company, he is looking for something."

Tang Tang was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood. "He tricked you?" His eyes were full of disbelief, and he widened his eyes angrily, "In his eyes, are relatives really so worthless?!"

In the distance, Lu Yuxing stepped forward cautiously, looking at Tang Tang's back.

"He's looking for something." Tang Ruize repeated, then lowered his head again, his eyes swept over the policemen around him one by one.

"You remember to hide it."

Like a pot of cold water being poured over his head, Tang Tang instantly understood what Tang Ruize meant.

Tang Jialang is looking for wisteria?

How did he know about the existence of wisteria?How much does he know?What is he going to do with it?

He wanted to ask something more, but those people had already grabbed Tang Ruize's shoulders and took him away from Tang Tang.

Most of Tang Ruize's back was blocked, Tang Tang stared blankly, his body shaking a little.

"What did your brother say?"

Lu Yuxing put his hand on his shoulder, and Tang Tang leaned against his back.

On the way back, the two sent Xiao Li to accompany He Li, while Lu Yuxing drove.Tang Tang sat uneasy in the co-pilot and told what happened just now.

"Do you think he knows about the Wisteria?" Lu Yuxing asked.

When Liang Yuxiu encountered a red light, Tang Tang stared at the zebra crossing in front of him and shook his head.

"It's impossible for grandpa to tell him." Tang Tang said, "He thinks my uncle is too weak and my dad is too ambitious, so he won't tell them with confidence."

Lu Yuxing rubbed his forehead, "So, your father...is just looking for your grandfather's most important inheritance during his lifetime. He doesn't know what it is."

When the green light came on, Tang Tang sighed and slumped on his seat.

"I hope..." He looked sad, "The most urgent thing is to go to my brother's lawyer..."

For a long time, only the music on the radio was left in the car.Lu Yuxing held the steering wheel, and inevitably saw the ring on his ring finger again.

The huge change made him more sensitive. At this moment, a strange sense of terror suddenly rose in Lu Yuxing's heart.

Perhaps, this horrible feeling has been shrouded in his heart since his memory loss.

"Tangtang." Lu Yuxing glanced at him.

Tang Tang looked back at him from the front of the car, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yuxing turned the steering wheel slightly and turned into Jinning Road.

"I have a hunch..." He hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say, "Something will happen soon."

Tang Tang looked at him without saying a word.

Both of them knew well that according to the backtracking rules mentioned by Tang Xingguo, they were not far from the so-called "curse".

After parking the car in the garage, the two went home holding hands.

Opening the door, Xiao Xing poked out his furry head.

"Wang!"

It barked happily, wagging its tail and rubbing against Tang Tang's knee.

Tang Ruize was taken away for investigation, and the maid sent Xiaoxing to their home.Long time no see, Xiao Xing's coat color is still watery and beautiful, but he is no longer as lively as before.In the past, when Tang Tang came back, he would jump on his body and rub against him, but now he struggled to stand up, and his gesture of goodwill was changed to rubbing against his back.

"Xiao Xing, your father has something to do these two days, so he can only live with me and Brother Lu."

"Wow!"

Little Xing didn't realize what happened to Tang Ruize at all, obediently let Tang Tang hold her, and sat on the carpet in front of the sofa.

Lu Yuxing and Tang Tang sat down side by side, letting it rub against his feet.

Looking at the old little star, Lu Yuxing asked, "How old is it this year?"

"13 years old." Tang Tang said lightly, reaching out to touch its ears, "It's an old man too."

"Baby, you must be healthy and healthy." Tang Tang murmured, "My brother's bachelor still counts on you to accompany him for the rest of his life."

Xiaoxing rolled comfortably, resting his head on Tang Tang's lap.

That being said, everyone knows dogs don't live that long.The same is true of what they have to face, life and death are the same to everyone, powerful and irresistible.

The scythe of the god of death destroys the dead, and they are only flesh and blood.

After a while, Lu Yuxing got up and went into the bedroom.

"Ah Xing?" Tang Tang stroked Xiaoxing's back and poked his head to look.

After a while, Lu Yuxing came out with wisteria in his hand.

"Seldom go out these days." He knelt down on one knee, unbuttoned Tang Tang's jacket, and carefully put the wisteria in his inner pocket, "Take it well."

Tang Tang was a little nervous for a moment, but there was a smile on his face, and he joked: "Do you think it is a talisman?"

"Isn't it?" Lu Yuxing imitated Xiaoxing's movements and also leaned on his lap, "It's what makes us live here."

After speaking, he raised his head and kissed Tang Tang, then got up to make dinner.

Tang Tang looked at his back for a long time, shook his head, and said very softly:

"No, it's you."

Fall.

The sense of parting from the absurd summer, with the arrival of autumn, still lingers in the minds of several people.

Ten days have passed since Tang Jialang took over the company again.Tang Ruize's matter remained silent, He Li was in a state of desperation, and Tang Tang followed suit.

He really couldn't be of any help.On the one hand, he was worried that Tang Jialang would find out about him, on the other hand, He Li was more anxious than anyone else, and he did a lot of things alone.

In addition, Tang Tang could clearly feel that Lu Yuxing's mental state was getting worse and worse.

He began to prohibit Tang Tang from going out at will.For work affairs, Lu Yuxing accompanied him to attend; when he went home to visit his father, the two traveled together; when shopping for vegetables, they also went together.

The media said that they had a good relationship, but only Tang Tang knew that Lu Yuxing was worried.

During the day, Lu Yuxing put the wisteria pocket watch on Tang Tang's body; at night, he put it under his pillow and carried it with him.

A high degree of mental tension brings about endless insomnia.Tang Tang is like a sleeping pill that has lost its efficacy, no matter how much he stays by Lu Yuxing's side, his sleeping effect will no longer work.

He took the initiative to ask for it, but he often passed out from exhaustion, and Lu Yuxing still couldn't fall asleep.

Tang Tang didn't know that he lost the effect of the sleeping medicine because he himself was in constant panic.He was full of thoughts about Lu Yuxing's mental state, and put himself in second place.

From Xiaoxing, the only bystander at home, they looked like two nervous patients. Lu Yuxing refused to let Tang Tang go out, and Tang Tang was like a ticking time bomb. Sometimes they would start to get angry and quarrel .

Tang Tang's inner defense line also crumbled a little bit in these days like waiting for the death penalty.

One morning, Tang Tang was awakened by a slight noise.

He subconsciously touched his side, and it was empty.

Tang Tang lost all sleepiness in an instant.

"Ah Xing!"

He was shirtless and stumbled out of the bedroom.

Xiaoxing was also woken up. Tang Tang looked downstairs and saw Lu Yuxing squatting in front of the TV cabinet, rummaging through the drawers.

— That's the medicine drawer.

Tang Tang's heart tightened immediately.Downstairs, Lu Yuxing slowly raised his head, looking at him with tired eyes.

The morning light shone through the half-closed door of the courtyard, and the faint pink light shone on Lu Yuxing's bare back.

"Tangtang, I'm fine." He smiled and said softly, "Go to sleep, I'm just looking for some medicine."

Tang Tang looked at it for a while, and suddenly became angry.

Xiaoxing ran away from his feet with a "woo", not understanding why the master had such a bad temper recently.

"Lu Yuxing!"

Tang Tang yelled at him in a rare way, he rushed down the stairs, grabbed the medicine box from Lu Yuxing's hand, and threw it on the ground.

Small white and blue pills jingled and scattered all over the ground.

Lu Yuxing didn't get angry, he sat on the carpet and reached out to grab Tang Tang's wrist.

He grabbed Tang Tang's wrist and shook it, only to find that his hand was shaking.

"Hey, baby, don't be angry." He quietly comforted Tang Tang, "I know how to take medicine, this disease has been with me for many years, and I know how to get along with it."

Tang Tang cried and shook his hand away, shouting: "You are already cured! Can you take the medicine casually? Do you know how serious the side effects are! You know what it is when you have auditory hallucinations and headaches, rolling on the ground in pain What does it look like?"

"Sorry, sorry."

Lu Yuxing hugged his waist, Tang Tang struggled like a little wild animal.He had to compromise and comforted: "I won't eat, let's go back to sleep. Baby, don't be angry..."

Tang Tang hit him hard on the back with his fist, Xiao Xing huddled in the corner and watched, whining.

After a long time, Tang Tang finally calmed down.Panting for breath, he half-body lay on Lu Yuxing's body.

"I'm sorry, Xing," he wiped his eyes, feeling that he was sick too, "I've...been a little... bad-tempered recently, sorry."

"I know." Lu Yuxing kissed his waist, his back was so sore from Tang Tang's beating, but he didn't respond at all.

The two sat and knelt, and hugged for a long time before Lu Yuxing tentatively said, "Tangtang, approve your husband to take two sleeping pills, okay?"

Tang Tang looked at him coldly, the tears on his face were still wet.

"One." Lu Yuxing coaxed him while bargaining.

The hot skin of the two was pressed together, he raised his head and looked at Tang Tang, his eyes were black and blue, but his eyes were tender and doting.

Even if he had reached the point of mental breakdown, he still wanted to make Tang Tang happy.

So Tang Tang relented, touched his face, took out the small medicine bottle from the drawer, got up to pour water.

Lu Yuxing obediently went back to bed and waited. Tang Tang came back with a glass of cold water and a white pill in his hand.

"It's not toffee this time, is it?" Lu Yuxing covered the quilt and smiled at him.

Tang Tang threw the pill into his mouth, took another sip of water, leaned over to cover his lips, and crossed in.

Lu Yuxing's lips were dry and astringent, with a faint smell of toothpaste.

He felt his Adam's apple rolling, and swallowed.

Lu Yuxing didn't let go of him, and wrapped his arms around his neck, kissing him closely.

"Go to sleep." Tang Tang rubbed against his lips, feeling pain in his heart, "Good night, Ah Xing."

He got under the quilt, and their lips touched each other.Tang Tang stared at Lu Yuxing's deep and handsome eyebrows, and after a few minutes, he heard the sound of long and steady breathing.

He touched Lu Yuxing's forehead, lifted the quilt, got out of bed and went to the first floor.

Xiaoxing squatted in the corner, looked at Tang Tang suspiciously, and picked up the pills on the ground one by one.

It leaned up to smell it, and wanted to stick out its tongue to lick it, but Tang Tang pinned its head.

"You can't eat it." Tang Tang shook his finger, closed the medicine box, opened the drawer, and put it back.

Xiao Xing groaned twice, looked at the drawer, then at Tang Tang, as if saying:

"Why can you eat it? You ate it yesterday!"

Tang Tang rubbed its head, "Because I am an adult, only adults can eat it." He patted his knee, "Don't tell Brother Lu Yuxing."

Xiao Xing pouted his butt in dissatisfaction, and went back to his nest.

Tang Tang went to pour water to drink, planning to secretly take a sleeping pill and go to sleep too.However, as soon as he walked up the stairs, the landline in the living room rang.

Afraid of disturbing Lu Yuxing's rest, he quickly turned around to answer the phone.

"Hey?"

A male voice came from the phone: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Lu Yuxing's home? I'm from the Gangchengnan Children's Welfare Institute."

"Oh, Hello."

Tang Tang put the water glass on the coffee table, "I'm from his family, what can I do?"

"It's Mr. Tang Tang, isn't it?" The other side immediately heard it, "It's like this, Mr. Lu Yuxing made an appointment to meet with the children a few days ago, and we will explain to him the details of the use of funds in the first half of this year. "

Tang Tang knew about this.For several years, Lu Yuxing has been in the habit of donating money to the orphanage in the south of the city. The person in charge will report the use of funds every year, and Lu Yuxing will sometimes visit it. It is a very responsible orphanage.

With Lu Yuxing's support, several children finished junior high school and were admitted to a good high school.

Tang Tang thought for a moment, then turned his head to listen to the movement upstairs, probably the medicine had taken effect, and Lu Yuxing did not wake up.

"Well...he has something to do and can't leave, let me come."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Tang changed into a low-key and light sweater and trousers, and prepared to go out.

After standing at the door for a while, Tang Tang turned back, took out the wisteria pocket watch from under the pillow in the bedroom, and put it in his pocket.

"Sleep peacefully." He planted a kiss on the tip of Lu Yuxing's nose, "I'll be back soon."

After all, he hurried downstairs and out the door.

The author says:

Do not learn to take medicine indiscriminately!
