Ethan Ye's eyes widened in disbelief, his face flushed with shame and anger. He suddenly stretched out his hand to push Gavin Qin away, staggered back a step, and said angrily: "I'm leaving!"
President Hu's eyes were stern. Since this was the person President Qin wanted, how could he let him go like this? He was about to stop him immediately, but at this time Gavin Qin suddenly called him and said lightly: "It doesn't matter, let him go."
President Hu stood there in a daze. He was a little confused about Gavin Qin's thoughts. Was Gavin Qin going to let Ethan Ye go or not?
Ethan Ye looked at Gavin Qin deeply, and a trace of pain appeared in his eyes the moment he turned around, and he pushed the door open resolutely and walked out.
Mr. Bryce saw Ethan Ye leave and stood there, unable to move forward or backward. He didn't dare to leave like this before he figured out Gavin Qin's attitude. When he was hesitating, Gavin Qin said to him, "Please sit down."
Mr. Bryce was immediately flattered. Gavin Qin actually invited him to take a seat! He quickly sat over, with an expression that showed he only followed Gavin Qin's lead.
Gavin Qin slowly turned the wine glass in his hand, sighed sadly, and said: "My old friend doesn't seem to be very happy to see me. I wonder if Mr. Bryce has any good ideas for this?"
Mr. Bryce's eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled confidently: "Mr. Qin misunderstood. You are his benefactor. How could Xiao Fang not want to see you? He just didn't think it through at the moment. I can guarantee that he will definitely be willing to see you!"
Gavin Qin looked at him meaningfully and smiled softly, "I see. I feel relieved now. I wish us a happy cooperation."
...
Since no one stopped him, Ethan Ye left the private room smoothly. He let out a long breath and rushed into the bathroom.
[888: Three glasses of wine? It only lowered the blackness by 5 points. What if he doesn't contact you anymore?]
[Ethan Ye: No, since he hinted that Mr. Bryce was plotting against me, it means that he is not going to let me go easily. This is a good sign. What I am most worried about is not that he wants to retaliate against me, but that he wants to go his separate ways with me. As long as there is a chance to contact him, there will naturally be a way to eliminate the black value.]
[888 was silent for a while: But...what does it mean that he wants you to name a price?] 888 couldn't understand Gavin Qin's train of thought.
[Ethan Ye: Well, I’ll show you a freestyle and you’ll understand! ]
【888:? ? ? 】
[Ethan Ye: check it out! My ex-boyfriend is tall and handsome, with broad shoulders, narrow waist, abdominal muscles and long legs. Money is not important, baby, the most important thing is to be good at work wow~ We loved each other very much back then, but reality insisted on separating us~ Although I once ruthlessly abandoned him, now that we meet again, he still wants to use money to buy me back, buy me back yo~yo~yo~! ]
888 felt the urge to kill the host again.
After something like this happened, Ethan Ye certainly would not go back to continue attending the party, but instead left the hotel and took a taxi home.
[Ethan Ye: I'm sleepy. Brother, can you help me keep an eye on Mr. Bryce? I think he's about to attack me.]
888 really didn't want to pay attention to Ethan Ye, but he was a system with professional ethics after all. No matter how useless the host was, he didn't intend to let personal emotions affect his work.
Ethan Ye drank a lot of wine last night. He slept in peacefully the next day and came to the company slowly at noon. On the way, 888 told him about the surveillance situation last night.
[888 thought about it and still advised: Are you sure you want to go see Mr. Bryce now? ]
[Ethan Ye: Yes, after what happened yesterday, how could I continue to work for him as if nothing had happened? Of course, it would be normal for me to prepare to resign and run away.]
【888: He guessed this, so he prepared a trap for you overnight.】
[Ethan Ye: Not surprising at all. Mr. Bryce is an unscrupulous contractor who has no moral integrity. He just wants to please Gavin Qin and will do anything for the benefit. That's why I chose him. He is a competent cannon fodder. Of course, I have to cooperate with Gavin Qin to retaliate against me. With his hatred for me, the most urgent task is to make him calm down before we can proceed to the next step. There is a sentence that can perfectly describe Gavin Qin's attitude towards me now.]
【888: What?】
[Ethan Ye: If you are well, it will be a bolt from the blue. ]
【888:...】It is right to let this Sc*mbag die.
Ethan Ye looked a little pale due to a hangover. He did not go to his own office but went directly to Mr. Bryce.
Mr. Bryce's eyes flickered and he said with a smile, "Xiao Fang, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Ethan Ye thought of Mr. Bryce's attitude yesterday. Although he understood his intention to curry favor with Gavin Qin, he was still a little unhappy in his heart. His tone was also a little cold. He said, "I'm here to resign today."
Mr. Bryce's smile faded a little when he heard this. "I paid you three months' salary in advance. It's not appropriate for you to resign after less than two months."
Ethan Ye was prepared for this. He took out the only money he had left and said, "This is two months' salary. Please count it." After saying that, he was about to leave.
But as soon as Ethan Ye walked to the door, two tall security guards quickly walked in, blocked the door and looked at him coldly, obviously not intending to let him leave.
Ethan Ye's eyes flashed with anger, and he turned back to Mr. Bryce and said, "What do you mean? I have already returned your salary, now please let me leave."
Mr. Bryce didn't even look at the money on the table. A look of contempt flashed across his eyes, and his tone changed. He said coldly, "Mr. Fang, since you are Mr. Qin's friend, I really don't care whether you pay back such a small salary or not."
Ethan Ye said in a deep voice: "Then why don't you let me go?"
Mr. Bryce's expression suddenly turned cold, and he shouted, "The salary is not important, but you must give me an explanation today for the one million missing from the account!"
Ethan Ye was stunned for a moment, and said blankly: "What do you mean one million?"
Mr. Bryce threw out an account book and said, "I carefully checked the accounts you handled during this period and found that one million yuan of project funds had not been received, but the other party said that it had already been transferred to us. This account only passed through you... If you hand over the one million yuan, I will not embarrass you today and this matter will be settled privately. What do you think?"
Ethan Ye grabbed the account book and flipped through it quickly. His expression finally changed. He raised his head angrily and said, "I didn't take any money from the company. You are slandering me!"
Mr. Bryce looked at him coldly, no longer friendly as before, and said with a fake smile: "I have more than just this little thing in my hand, and the evidence is irrefutable. Do you still want to deny your debt?"
Ethan Ye was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He took a deep breath and looked at Mr. Bryce coldly, "Why did you frame me?"
President Hu said contemptuously: "I framed you? It was obviously you who did something dishonest and embezzled the company's property, and you still have the nerve to say that I framed you? It's really hard to judge a person by his appearance. I didn't expect that a person who looks clean would do such a thing. I'm afraid he is a habitual thief."
Ethan Ye's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Mr. Bryce and said, "You, you are slandering me!" After saying that, he was about to rush out angrily!
The two security guards were well prepared and punched Ethan Ye in the abdomen. Ethan Ye did not expect the other party to start fighting as soon as they said so. He bent over in pain and was then roughly grabbed back and forced to sit on a chair. Before he could react, his hands were tied to the handrails by the security guards with ropes!
Mr. Bryce stood up and walked to Ethan Ye, saying disdainfully: "You stole the money and wanted to run away. It seems that I can only call the police to arrest you."
Ethan Ye looked at Mr. Bryce with hatred. The other party was well prepared. If he really called the police to arrest him, he would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River. His eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Why did you do this?"
What reason did Mr. Bryce have to treat him like this? This was what he couldn't figure out. Could it be because... Ethan Ye suddenly thought of a possibility and froze.
Mr. Bryce did not reveal any flaws, but said coldly: "I'll give you an hour to think about it. Do you want to pay me back or wait for me to call the police? I advise you to think it over before you speak."
Ethan Ye had just returned all the money he had to President Hu, so he didn't have the money to take out another million. But calling the police... would completely ruin his career, and he couldn't tolerate such a stain, so he looked anxious.
The two security guards stood behind him without saying a word. Mr. Bryce lit a cigarette for himself and said, "You'd better give me an answer quickly. I have a short patience."
As time passed, Ethan Ye's palms were covered with cold sweat, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of any solution for a while! His heart was filled with despair.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. The "dong dong dong" sound broke the stagnant atmosphere in the room. Ethan Ye instinctively turned his head to look over, and his heartbeat suddenly quickened.
I don't know who is coming...
Mr. Bryce gave a look and a security guard immediately walked over and opened the door.
Ethan Ye stared blankly at the person who walked in, at the familiar calm and handsome face of the other person... For some reason, his eyes instantly turned red, and he uttered a slightly choked voice: "Gavin Qin..."
Gavin Qin just happened to appear here at this time, which was actually not good news for him. It seemed to confirm a guess that he was most unwilling to believe... But at this moment, Ethan Ye suddenly wanted to try again, wanted to deceive himself once, maybe things were not what he thought.
Maybe all this has nothing to do with Gavin Qin.
Ethan Ye looked up at him, the glimmer of hope in his eyes was as fragile as thin ice that would break at the touch. He said, "Can you help me?"
Gavin Qin showed a half-smile, he walked to Ethan Ye step by step, leaned down and stared at Ethan Ye's slightly red eyes, his voice was low and pleasant, "What difficulties have you encountered, do you want me to help you?"
Ethan Ye's lips trembled, "I... I was framed..."
"Oh?" Gavin Qin raised his eyebrows, as if he had just seen Mr. Bryce, and asked coldly: "You framed him?"
President Hu said angrily, "President Qin, Mr. Fang is your friend. How dare I frame him? I have evidence that he stole one million from the company. I never thought he was such a person!"
Gavin Qin glanced at the account book in Mr. Bryce's hand, and had no intention of taking it. Instead, he turned to Ethan Ye with a disappointed look and said lightly: "After three years, I thought you would never do such a thing again. It seems that your nature is hard to change."
Ethan Ye listened to Gavin Qin's cold voice and looked at the icy look in his eyes, and his heart finally sank to the bottom.
The facts couldn't be clearer.
This moment seemed to go back to three years ago, when he took away the one million.
Throughout his life, even when he was the poorest and most destitute, he always stuck to his bottom line...but he did one thing that went against his conscience, and it tormented him for three whole years.
---He used the most despicable means to hurt the person he loved the most and who loved him the most.
A mere one million is nothing to Gavin Qin today, but to Gavin Qin back then, it was almost everything.
What he owed was not Mr. Bryce's one million, but Gavin Qin's one million.
Ethan Ye closed his eyes to hide the pain in his eyes. When he opened them again, his expression had returned to calm. He half-closed his eyelids and said, "Boss Hu is right. I shouldn't have been so optimistic. You should call the police."
In this world, everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes. If this is what Gavin Qin wants, he has nothing to be unwilling about.
His behavior just now was ridiculous. What qualifications does he have to ask Gavin Qin for help?
Gavin Qin looked at the calm expression on Ethan Ye's face, but his eyes became colder. Haha... Do you think I will let you go if you pretend to repent and admit your guilt? Do you think this is atonement? ! Isn't it too easy for you to just call the police?
No, this is just the beginning.
Gavin Qin let out a deep laugh from deep in his throat. He turned to Mr. Bryce and said, "I'm really sorry that this happened. alias Nolan is my friend after all. I'll help him pay back the one million."
Mr. Bryce said cheerfully, "Oh, what are you talking about, Mr. Qin? As long as you are willing to protect him, it doesn't matter if the one million is not returned. Just consider it as making friends with you."
Gavin Qin said calmly: "Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone friends."
Mr. Bryce nodded repeatedly. He was always knowledgeable and tactful. He said, "Mr. Qin is right. I won't be polite. Since you said that, Mr. Fang will be handed over to you. I have something else to do, so I will leave first. You can use this place with peace of mind. I guarantee that no one will come over!"
After saying that, he couldn't wait to go out with two security guards.
Ethan Ye watched all this with an expressionless face. From the moment he realized that Gavin Qin was plotting against him, he no longer had any hope. Besides, all this was his fault in the first place, and now he was just back to square one.
Gavin Qin pulled a chair over and sat down in front of Ethan Ye. His dark eyes fell on him, as if he wanted to see through him completely. After a long time, he suddenly asked a strange question: "Do you love money so much?"
Ethan Ye's lips turned pale, and after a while, he uttered a cold word: "Yes."
When Gavin Qin heard this answer, it was as if a puzzle that had troubled him for countless nights had finally been solved, and he no longer had to doubt or struggle. After three years, he finally heard the answer from this person himself. At this moment, a heavy black shackle was completely unlocked, and the trapped beast in his heart roared and wanted to break out of his body.
But his expression was smiling, and he seemed a little regretful. "Why don't you try to quibble again? Aren't you the best at lying?"
Ethan Ye turned his head away, seemingly unwilling to look at him at all.
Gavin Qin pinched Ethan Ye's chin with one hand, using great force, and slowly turned his head around.
Ethan Ye's face turned pale with pain. He was forced to look into Gavin Qin's eyes. In those dark pupils, a cruel look vaguely emerged, and deep hatred was about to pour out.
Ethan Ye looked at these eyes and couldn't take his eyes off... On the other side of this world, there were also countless nights when he woke up from nightmares, dreaming of Gavin Qin's hateful eyes. Now he finally saw it with his own eyes, and it turned out to be like this, not much different from the dream.
It turns out that Gavin Qin really hates him to this extent...
He finally got what he wanted.
Gavin Qin lowered his head and bit the corner of Ethan Ye's lips. The sweet taste of blood filled the space between his lips and teeth. He laughed softly: "I told you yesterday to name a price, but you refused."
A look of humiliation appeared in Ethan Ye's eyes, but he was unable to break free from the restraints in front of him.
Gavin Qin's hand touched Ethan Ye's neck and he gently unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his faintly visible collarbone and a small piece of fair and smooth skin... This body that once fascinated him still arouses his emotions, but only makes people want to torture him more cruelly.
"So, now it's my turn to make an offer." Gavin Qin said with a joking smile.
Ethan Ye closed his eyes, as if he had completely recognized the reality. A sad smile appeared on his lips, and he asked, "What price are you going to offer? With Mr. Qin's current wealth, it's probably too low to be worth it, right?"
When Gavin Qin heard these words, he paused for a moment. Then his chest rose and fell suddenly. He raised his hand and slapped Ethan Ye in the face with a "slap" sound!
Ethan Ye's face was hit and turned sideways. After a while, he turned his head and continued, "I owe you one million. Since you don't plan to call the police, how many times do you want to sleep with me? Give me an exact number. It's better to settle the account clearly."
Gavin Qin's eyes suddenly flashed with a bloodthirsty look! He seemed to want to tear the person in front of him into pieces! He suddenly kicked the chair hard! He kicked Ethan Ye and the chair to the ground together! Then he grabbed Ethan Ye's collar, lifted his upper body, and stared into his eyes from a very far distance, as if he wanted to see clearly how despicable this person could be!
Beneath this beautiful face with delicate features, his heart is full of dirt and ravines!
"Who do you think you are? Do you think you are qualified to bargain with me?" Gavin Qin's voice was cold, and every word seemed to be spit out from his teeth. "Or do you think that a B!tch like you is worth a lot?"
"I'm worthless, but you are willing to give me money." Ethan Ye stuck out his tongue, licked the blood at the corner of his mouth, and smiled.
This sentence finally cut the last string in Gavin Qin's mind, causing his rationality to completely collapse, and only the surging hatred of destroying everything remained in his heart! He pinched Ethan Ye's neck and tore open his shirt with one hand, and the buttons fell off and rolled everywhere!
Ethan Ye closed his eyes tightly, not wanting Gavin Qin to see the sadness in his eyes.
He shouldn't have come back, but in the end he couldn't let go of this person. But it doesn't matter... he can still let Gavin Qin continue to hate him.
...
Gavin Qin stretched his arms to put on his coat and adjusted his collar slowly. After he was done, he seemed to realize that Ethan Ye was still on the ground. He glanced at Ethan Ye's body with contempt, and suddenly took out a stack of money from his pocket. Without looking at it or counting it, he threw it directly on Ethan Ye's face.
Ethan Ye curled up on the ground, his body covered with mottled marks and blood flowing down his legs. The banknotes hit his body, causing him to move slightly. After a long time, his eyes gradually regained some clarity.
He stared blankly at the banknotes on the ground, slowly moved his body, knelt on the ground and picked up the money one by one indifferently.
Gavin Qin just stood there, looking down at all this. Seeing this person kneeling there without dignity, picking up money on the ground, seeing this person, reduced to such a lowly state.
Now you know what's happening to you.
[Ding, Gavin Qin's darkening value -5, current darkening value 75]
Gavin Qin raised his lip corner: "Use your body to make money, don't forget, you still owe me one million---you have to pay me back with interest!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Ethan Ye silently watched Gavin Qin's back as he left, and only when he was sure that he would not come back did he struggle to get up, put on his clothes, and leave the company. This time no one stopped him, and fortunately it was night, so no one saw his embarrassed side.
He returned to his rented apartment and lay down on the bed tiredly.
888 was silent the whole way. Although he couldn't stand his host's behavior and felt that he brought it upon himself, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw how miserable he was. After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke.
【888: Actually, you don’t have to do this mission...】
[Ethan Ye: How can I not do it! My experience points are counting on him! ]
[888 suddenly got a little angry: Is experience so important? Can it allow you to do this?] Although I know that the host has system protection, this kind of plot is indeed heartbreaking.
Ethan Ye rarely responded quickly, but showed a complicated expression. His eyelashes trembled, and he seemed to be very upset, but he said in a nonchalant tone: "Nothing, I expected this a long time ago."
888 had never seen his host behave like this when not on a mission. He suddenly felt extremely distressed and didn't know what had happened to him.
Ethan Ye added: "There was only one thing I didn't expect."
[888 couldn't help but ask: What's the matter? ]
[Ethan Ye: I didn’t expect Gavin Qin still loves me so much hahahahaha! ]
【888:...】
[Ethan Ye: Big Brother, it turns out you are actually a warm-hearted person despite appearing cold on the outside. I am so touched, hahahahaha! ]
[Ethan Ye: Gavin Qin didn't call the police to arrest me, didn't put me in a sack, and didn't kick me away. Instead, he went to great lengths to punish me with his body! The most important thing is that he gave me money afterwards! If this isn't true love, then what is?! ]
[Ethan Ye: His work is just as good as before, no, it's even wilder and more exciting than before. The only downside is that it was a little painful at the beginning. Well... we can't expect everything to be perfect. But I still want to thank you for your concern. Muah, I love you.]
888 really wants to go back to three minutes ago and chew up and eat everything he just said!
Ethan Ye counted the money Gavin Qin gave him carefully with a loving look as if he were looking at a lover, and sighed sincerely: "My Gavin Qin is still as generous as ever, but it's a pity that this money cannot be used for the time being."
He reluctantly locked the money in the drawer and sighed, "How can a man of integrity like me use the money earned from selling my body?"
【888: Do you have the guts to change your expression and say this again?】
【Ethan Ye: ^_^】
