DU ------
Jing Rong is holding his cell phone, staring forward with a tense expression, the lazy look just now is gone.
Brother, pick it up.
Because of the high tension, Jing Rong's forehead oozed with fine beads of sweat.
As time passed, there was still no answer, and then the flat female voice sounded: The number you have dialed is not answered, please dial again later.
According to the original plot, whether it is this body or Ling Xie, are cannon fodder must die the end.
From the beginning, when he couldn't remember the original, to the moment when some of his important memories were blocked, he could feel an invisible resistance that was preventing him from saving Ling Xie.
What he is doing now is breaking some kind of law after the functioning of the fictional world.
When Jing Rong reached the third call, she hung up without being alerted by the flat female voice and dialed Xiang Zhou's number.
Xiang Zhou was still at home sorting through the documents sent by the investment bank's consultants, which were titled "Potential Entertainment Companies in Three Years" based on their potential value.
These documents are not Ling Xie to use, the Xie family has its own entertainment department, doing a moderate, not good but definitely not bad, there are losses and profits, the overall did not drag the group's leg.
The Xie family's main business is not here, so Ling Xie only asks not to lose money.
These filings were silently prepared for Jing Rong, who he knew liked acting, but apparently Jing Rong was not capable of impressing him.
After hitting his head on the outside and then looking back at what he was ready for, he was able to get this rebellious child to turn around.
Ling Xie has been planning to do this for a long time, but he has always been a sawed-off gourd, and what he can do, he will never say.
"You said Mr. Xie?" Xiang Zhou froze for a moment, sensing Jing Rong's different tone, and immediately returned, "He said going over to Serenity Bend belonged to Xie's private business, so he sent me home first."
The same is true of Xiang Zhou, who is not with Ling Xie, as if it were destiny, Jing Rong has chills all over his body, and tonight he may still be [in danger].
"Brother's cell phone is not working, is there another way to reach him?"
"This...Mr. Xie is not too fond of electronic devices, and usually only brings a cell phone." Ling Xie's style of action is biased towards the older generation, and is not interested in these cell phones and iPads used by young people.
"Find a way on your side to immediately lead people to where they are racing, and if you see Big Brother immediately keep him away from Jicheng Xie ."
"Okay, I understand." Although he didn't know what was going on, Xiang Zhou knew that their young master never played pranks.
"Is there a helicopter?"
"Yes, yes, but it's on the tarmac at the branch, I'm going back now to dispatch possibly ......"
"Then use the method you think is the fastest." Jing Rong at this moment, even some killing and decisive air, and usually judge two people.
Jing Rong paused and called his name in a serious tone, " Xiang Zhou ."
"Yes."
"As soon as possible, please."
"You can rest assured, young master, isn't it--" Xiang Zhou somehow felt the heaviness of Jing Rong's words, but before he could finish, the other end had already hung up.
Jing Rong hung up the phone, and he pressed his brain, which still had a splitting headache, and the more he tried to think about it, the more it hurt.
But he couldn't stop. The original owner's life was gone, but Ling Xie's still had a chance.
Another call to the police, informed a group of people are racing on a road in the county of the Crown half mountain bend, a serious violation of the relevant regulations, please be severely punished for the leader.
You can't just say that he suspects someone is trying to assassinate his big brother, the police department will just treat him as a prank and ignore it or not pay attention to it at all. But racing is different, or illegal gathering of racing, the circumstances are bad. Jicheng Xie is one of the leaders of this kind of activity, let him go to the police station to drink tea is another way to stop.
Even if it proves to be a woo-woo game, it doesn't matter, you don't just go to the detention center for a few days, the wave is not a loss.
But neither Xiang Zhou's side nor the police department can put out the fire from afar.
That mid-mountain bend, which is quite far from the city, is in a nearby crown county. Because of the strict local management of these private racing cars, these people can only run so far.
Jing Rong continued to call Ling Xie's number, and if he couldn't get through, he kept calling.
Ling Xie had just found Jicheng Xie, who was planning to go to the corner to compete with others, and the atmosphere was a bit weird because of Ling Xie's arrival.
Jicheng Xie pushed away the pampered Omega, his smile was a bit evil, looking at Ling Xie, who always had a face of hell.
Although related by blood, but from the same father, he does not look much like Ling Xie, who is more like a member of the Ji family, with a charming appearance.
The Jicheng Xie family has been raising Jicheng Xie , and it is clear from the name that it must have a place inside.
Jicheng Xie waved his hand and let the crowd play first, he wanted to meet his big brother.
The rest of the group, knowing Ling Xie's identity, greeted each other cautiously and made their way to the track.
Just the original HIGH atmosphere, there is a little condensation.
There are still a lot of people who are afraid that the pair of Alpha brothers make trouble and stay in place to watch.
"Are you here to ask me about why I didn't go to the party?" Jicheng Xie knew Ling Xie would definitely come to himself because he, the big brother, was a moralistic one who always wanted everyone to get along.
An old man, but still naive.
"Just understand, come back with me."
"I already told Xiang Zhou on the phone that if there is Jing Rong, there is no me. Otherwise big brother make a choice, want him or want me."
"Jing Xiao is not in your way, he has always been very proper, why do you have to make things difficult for him."
"Oh, that's what I want him to be." Jicheng Xie still had a hint of hesitation, but after Ling Xie said this, he seemed to have more than enough reason to make a certain decision, "Not in my way? Are you funny, from the first day that mom of his brought him back to the Xie family, the Xie family's property has been his share! You're so generous, you don't care even if your assets are less!"
Ling Xie looked at his second brother with a headache, his chest was a bit stuffy, and said in a light voice: "If you mind his share, then I'll make it up to you."
Jicheng Xie : "Then why don't you just give me the whole Xie family, wouldn't that be better?" If I were to give it to me, maybe I could consider the net.
"You are not suitable." Ling Xie decisively refused, and then doting on his brother he could not joke with the blood of generations.
The Xie family is not just his, it has been forged by the efforts of generations of Xie family members.
Jicheng Xie investment projects have repeatedly lost money, not the first time, this situation to Jicheng Xie, unless he died.
Jicheng Xie laughed, see, how hypocritical.
The company said it didn't care, but when it really wanted Ling Xie to give it, it didn't want to.
Ling Xie : "Xie's family cannot give you, and I will give Jing Rong's share intact."
Jicheng Xie : "You are really good brother, but my things, why give a bloodless oil bottle, one point, not even!"
Ling Xie frowned at him, "That's what he deserves, he's our brother."
"Brother," Jicheng Xie hahahahaha laughed, mocking Ling Xie, "you see he grew up to recognize you as a big brother, see you like a mouse, can not wait for you to never care about him. Save your breath, me and him, neither of us needs you to control!"
This hit Ling Xie where it hurts, but in recent days, he feels that his little brother has begun to change.
Ling Xie didn't want to argue with Jicheng Xie about this, but still asked, "Are you still blaming that time for what happened?"
Last time, Jing Rong ran away from home for a reason.
Jicheng Xie took Jing Rong out, but ended up at the police station, saying Jing Rong molested him. This Omega is also Jicheng Xie's young boyfriend. The Omega said Jing Rong took him into the toilet and asked him to take off his clothes and tried to forcefully mark him, only to be stopped in the middle, there are several blurry photos as evidence, the photos are too blurry, only vaguely see the suspected face of Jing Rong.
Jing Rong is at a loss for words, insisting that he was delirious, but would never touch his second brother's boyfriend.
The police department conducted a psychological lie detector test on Jing Rong, and in a series of more authoritative tests, Jing Rong was proven to be an Alpha who had not marked anyone, and since he was a virgin and had no previous criminal history, and since he himself strongly denied it, and the photo was too blurred to be considered conclusive evidence, the police tentatively concluded that Jing Rong had no motive to commit the crime. If there is a next time will only be dealt with seriously.
This time, because the victim was Omega, Jing Rong was sentenced to 15 days of detention as a disciplinary measure.
This disciplinary action was a big blow to Jing Rong, who was wrongly accused of something he didn't do, and it seemed that no one in the Xie family believed him.
During the 15 days in detention, Jing Rong's spirit fell into a state of distress and self-imposed isolation.
The matter was reconciled by several parties and came to a temporary end.
However, Jicheng Xie was not convinced, believing that everyone was helping Jing Rong, or that Ling Xie had done something to make Jing Rong's sentence so light.
The original molestation. This kind of thing can only ask the victim and the perpetrator of the two sides, there is no substantial evidence simply can not be filed.
The police department has already dealt with the victim severely because he was Omega.
Jing Rong crossed over and the line in the first conversation with Ling Xie: [That incident did not come to fruition, not afraid that I would come back and do something more beastly?] It is based on this incident.
Because Ling Xie suppressed the matter, not many people knew about it. So when Jing Rong went to the party this time, no one had a different attitude towards Jing Rong because of this.
Ling Xie and Zhanhong Xie are, after all, old. They know how long Jing Rong has been tolerating Jicheng Xie over the years, so the matter is actually more in Jing Rong's favor, but on the surface to a bowl of water end level.
The original owner did not understand the family's meaning and left the Xie family in silence and anger at being wronged, wanting to completely cut ties with the Xie family.
Although Zhanhong Xie is a jerk, he is very fond of Lianmei Han, who is stunningly beautiful, and does not dislike Jing Rong, his stepson, who fits his aesthetic.
In order to force Jing Rong to come back, all his cards were frozen, which led to a series of events later.
"This matter, you guys on the surface on my side, look like to appease me, but in fact also more believe in him, right. Jing Rong that douche can not understand, but I am not stupid! My boyfriend was molested. My boyfriend was molested, and you all helped the molesters. My boyfriend was molested, and you all helped the molesters, you family really makes me sick!" Jicheng Xie was so angry that his breath leaked out, and Ling Xie looked at him in silence, feeling the aggression of a fellow Alpha.
Ling Xie finally turned cold: "What do you mean by your family, aren't you Xie? If you say such things again, you should not recognize me as your big brother!"
No one noticed the hurt in Ling Xie's eyes.
Those around are a little stunned, two Alpha each emitting a strong attack breath, really let the people present in the body and mind are impactful, each gutted.
Seeing that the two magnificent brothers are on the verge of sibling rivalry over another brother, they have come forward to persuade and pull apart the two who have not yet fought.
So the brothers, surrounded by the crowd to the top of the mountain to build a small room full of technology, is a temporary construction, which used a lot of high-tech equipment, in order to facilitate them to play when a place to rest, there are many three-dimensional four-dimensional games inside.
Ling Xie's cold face and Jicheng Xie's silence made the atmosphere between them icy.
The persuader brought over a bottle of sparkling wine from the cooler.
Jicheng Xie also seems to think that what he just said was too much, took the wine and uncorked it himself, took out the two tall glasses he had put there and poured one for himself and Ling Xie.
When handing it over, Jicheng Xie's movements were somewhat hesitant, but eventually, with a fierce heart, he handed it over.
There are some things that have been thought of and prepared for a long time.
Perhaps the seeds of hatred were planted from the time Ling Xie was handpicked by Master Xie as his successor.
He just needs to make that determination, and also needs an opportunity, an opportunity to completely decide to do it.
Jicheng Xie apologized in a very sincere tone, lowering his head so that Ling Xie could not see his expression: "I was wrong, just forget I said that, big brother don't be angry."
Ling Xie still angry chest pain, he does not know what is wrong, he has always treated the two brothers equally.
Even when Jicheng Xie's mother killed her own mother, he didn't take it out on his second brother because he always felt the child was innocent.
Both parents should not blame the children for the mistakes they have made.
The Jicheng Xie's approach and words are what really poked him in the heart and lungs than Jing Rong, who was just running away from himself.
Looking at the glass of wine handed over by the second brother, Ling Xie heart is still a bit relieved, after all, is a brother, there is no overnight feud.
Ling Xie took over, not noticing that Jicheng Xie stared at his movements, even nervous legs are trembling, Jicheng Xie is also the first time to do, or once beloved big brother, he will also be the same fear will feel guilty.
But it's done, there's no turning back.
Ling Xie looked at the pink sparkling wine and asked, "What flavor?"
Jicheng Xie: "Cherry." It's Ling Xie's favorite flavor.
Ling Xie nodded, "Oh, that contains sugar.
Because he drank too much at the party today, his little brother had some sober soup cooked for him. The two of them chatted in passing, and the little brother learned that his blood sugar was a little high recently, so he was told not to eat sweet things without medical advice.
Although Ling Xie did not take it seriously, but thought that Jing Rong was not easy to start caring for himself, can not be so disrespectful to the little brother.
It's better to ask your family doctor, to save being read by your little brother.
Ugh, having a brother is so annoying.
With that in mind, Ling Xie felt a little better.
He pulled out his cell phone and realized he didn't even have it on him.
Remember, just parked in too much of a hurry, the phone seems to have been left in the car.
Ling Xie said to go back to get a cell phone and then come over to drink, Jicheng Xie face a little white, has done it is not qualified to turn back, but calmly said: "first drink and then go is not too late."
Because of the recent drama, Ling Xie still explained: "Recently, the blood sugar is a little high, we need to ask the doctor."
Jicheng Xie secretly breathed a sigh of relief and watched Ling Xie's face to make sure he wasn't caught before smiling, "Okay, then I'll switch to a bottle of sugar-free, as an apology to big brother for his outburst earlier. We are, and always will be, family."
The word [family] touched Ling Xie.
Ling Xie knows his situation well, he does not pursue love much, because seeing Zhanhong Xie's history of marriage and never-ending lovers, he has long stopped looking forward to marriage.
But family is what he always wanted to accompany, only relatives are long-lasting, the pillar of his heart.
Ling Xie soon arrived near the vehicle and found the phone vibrating in the driver's seat.
There was an incoming call and the name displayed on it was: Little Brother.
But I don't know what happened, my hand didn't hold steady, and my phone actually fell into the gap of the seat.
Ling Xie looked at her hands, a little puzzled.
But still reach for the phone in the crevice.
Just then, a race car almost rear-ended him on the mid-mountain curve, and the man who came out of the car apologized to him repeatedly.
Ling Xie delayed for a while to get the phone.
And the power on it actually dropped to 1%, and he remembered that before he left the company, the power was still 90%.
Ling Xie found the charging cable, started the car and charged it, when the phone came in again from his brother, Ling Xie picked it up.
"You just keep calling me?" Ling Xie asked, asking with the corners of his mouth slightly up, who said that little brother hates me.
"Don't ever drink-" anything, hurry back!
Jing Rong omitted all prefixes and practically scrambled to speak.
He did not dare to delay at all, did not even ask the others, and went straight to the point, he was afraid of another unexpected event, because he and his elder brother are the existence of the story must die, what makes the world of the story let them continue to live.
And if Ling Xie is still alive, as an important protagonist attack Jicheng Xie simply can not sit on the throne of the Xie family head, he is not the protagonist attack that many of the main plot will appear broken, which has completely deviated from the normal track.
What is the main line is the lifeblood of a story.
In fact, Jing Rong didn't even get to the fifth word before the call was disconnected.
Jing Rong called again, and again the familiar flat female voice, Jing Rong's body instantly went limp, almost falling off the bed.
Jing Rong narrowly steadied himself.
Is it too late?
Jing Rong fiercely covered his still sore head, the anger in his chest and the process of possibly seeing his big brother die made him somewhat unable to control himself, his depression accumulated, looking at the hazy moonlit sky, opened the window and roared: "Ah... --"
Xi Gu, who had just entered sleep mode next door, almost jumped out of bed, and Xi Gu grabbed a pillow to cover his ears.
Where is the crazy, in the middle of the night, do not give people to sleep!
Ling Xie felt a little puzzled, how to talk halfway, and then look at the display on the phone, no signal?
Yes, this is the outskirts, or the top of the mountain, no signal is quite normal.
Ling Xie also did not think much about it, the phone back into the pocket, this time there is no way to call the family doctor, or go back first.
By the time he arrived, Jicheng Xie was ready to hand him a new celebration and good wine, this time sugar-free.
Jicheng Xie drank it all, Ling Xie was about to drink it, but stopped moving for a moment
Suddenly I thought of my little brother's half-word on the phone: don't drink it.
Why do you say don't drink, don't drink what?
Did the little brother know something and was reminding him.
Ling Xie slowly glanced at the wine glass, fingers tightened a little.
Gradually, there is some kind of bad suspicion, this suspicion makes Ling Xie unbelievable, but fortunately years of life experience let him quickly calm down.
He glanced at Jicheng Xie and sensed the other man's nervousness.
Since the age of 18, Ling Xie has been following Master Xie to various social places, so she still has experience in pretending.
Pretending to take a sip himself, he said, "The doctor recently said I have a bad stomach, so just take a sip."
Jicheng Xie secretly clenched his fist, a bite should also be enough.
He told himself that he shouldn't feel regret and wasn't in a position to regret anymore.
Jicheng Xie was about to say something when from the distance came the whine of a police car, cutting through the night sky.
Ling Xie saw Jicheng Xie's suddenly white face, the heart is more secretly alarmed, if only racing Jicheng Xie simply can not be afraid of such.
Taking advantage of the gap in the group's panic, Ling Xie dipped her finger in the liquor and secretly hid her finger behind her back.
