Chapter 175: Another showdown
The wedding banquet is a wedding banquet. The Wei family will naturally call the police to investigate the incident.
The attendant who lit the incense in the guest room was quickly located, but no matter how much she was asked, her answer was "I don't know."
She was indeed unaware that she had been blinded by Lv Zhishu with a small amount of hearing water, and that she was completely unconscious during the spice switching process.
The police took the waiter away for further investigation.
Although the results of the investigation have not yet been released, Xie Qingcheng has already guessed seven or eight, the clerk in the initial interrogation of the bewilderment is not pretending, and this use of drugs to make innocent people do things for themselves, he has long seen the tactics - the previous psychiatric patients attempted to burn down the Public Security Building to steal the DV, intercepting witnesses, is not this type of tactics This is the same kind of tactic?
I'm afraid this has something to do with Duan Wen's organization.
Just ......
Xie Qingcheng raised his hand against the arch of his brow, his cold fingertips rubbing his temples, and he thought almost mechanically--
Why would someone from that organization want to break up Wei Dongheng and Xie Xue's marriage and try to get himself involved with Wei Dongheng?
By now the wedding banquet had long since ended and the guests had dispersed, most of them still unaware of what had happened inside Xuan Ge, but Xie Qingcheng knew that it would soon spread like a flu virus among them.
He couldn't care less anymore.
Whether it's a male prostitute or seducing a patient, they can say what they like. If there are any entanglements between the young and the old, outsiders will often see it as the older person's malicious intentions. In the eyes of the outside world, the young and elegant young master will not take the initiative to take an interest in the older private doctor, as long as it is a little bit of guidance, other people will say that it is Xie Qingcheng for the sake of money back then, to use this unusual method to deceive the employer's eldest son who is not yet familiar with the world. And naturally, the young and outstanding nobleman was deceived.
That's actually the best thing to say about He Yu, who has suffered innocently.
"There are many places in the lodge that actually have dead spots in order to protect the privacy of the guests, and a few others are still broken." Wei Er brother came to Xie Qingcheng's room in the hotel after the dinner and said to Xie Qingcheng, "The police have pulled all the surveillance, and so far they haven't found any footage of that waiter coming into contact with any suspicious people."
Xie Qingcheng finished receiving his physical examination and sat woodenly between the Windsor chairs, listening to the Wei family's second brother without any expression.
"This matter is really fishy." Second brother said, "The spices within Xuan Ge have indeed been switched and replaced with an aphrodisiac fragrance. If this matter was made, today's wedding banquet would more than likely have fallen through, not to mention that our family would lose face, you and Xie Xue would even be unable to raise your head in these people in Huzhou ...... But the other side of this plan, in the end, it was even a misadventure because of the absence of Lao San, and became He Yu and you together."
He paused and said, "I don't think it's a coincidence."
Xie Qingcheng: "Where did Wei Dongheng end up?"
"In the bathroom of his own room." Ergo said, "He said he had wanted to come to you for pre-wedding admonition after taking a shower and re-freshening himself up, but he ended up falling asleep in a confused state, and we detected sleeping pills in the water he drank."
Xie Qingcheng's long eyelashes were still, hanging down in front of her eyes, motionless.
"Wei Dongheng escaped because he accidentally drank water with sleeping pills in it, so it seems that the one who gave the sleeping pills and the one who gave the hypnotic incense are not the same person."
Brother Wei Er: "Uh-huh. And the one who gave the sleeping pill knew exactly what the one who gave the hypnotic incense was going to do. ...... But I wonder why he didn't just stop it if he knew?"
Xie Qingcheng raised his eyes and looked at Brother Wei Er, "Maybe that person just wants to protect Wei Dongheng."
"...... What are you looking at me like that for? It's not like I did it." Wei Er brother said, "If I had known, could I have let my brother-in-law's brother be treated like this?"
But he felt weak even as he spoke - this matter currently appeared to indeed have two people behind the scenes doing the jockeying. One of them wanted to harm the Wei family as well as the Xie siblings.
And another person hidden in a darker place, taking everything in, that person clearly had the opportunity to stop the whole thing, but in the end only chose to use sleeping pills to protect Wei Dongheng alone.
Who in their right mind wouldn't suspect the Wei family's own people in this situation?
Xie Qingcheng sighed and closed his eyes, "What about the surveillance near Wei Dongheng's room? No clues either?"
Wei Er brother shook his head.
No surprises.
Under the hypnotic incense can be done unknowingly, that under the sleeping pill, is even stronger in the hand, can leave traces on the ghost.
Wei Er Bro: "Anyway, we will continue to find a way to find out about this matter, as for the guest side, it is not convenient to say more about the truth that you and He Yu were drugged right now, I don't think that there are too many people who witnessed the situation at that time, if we go to make a clarification right now, instead, it will make the people who originally didn't know, or didn't believe, start to pay attention to it, but instead, it will spread more and more. Do you think it's appropriate for us to handle it this way?"
Xie Qingcheng thought for a moment, "Yes."
"What's going on with Xie Xue?"
"She doesn't know at the moment." Wei Er brother said.
Although the wedding reception was delayed for more than half an hour due to this unexpected situation, Wei Dongheng was fortunately found and woken up in time, and Xie Qingcheng also finished the process of leading her sister down the aisle and handed the girl over to Wei Dongheng after she had finished her own personal business for the time being.
Throughout the process, no one who had experienced the Xuange incident had shown any dissent - feigning nothing to deal with the outside world was already a must for these gentry.
So Xie Xue was still unaware of what had just happened to her big brother even after the dinner was over.
"Dong Heng also listened to our advice and didn't tell Xie Xue about this," Second Brother said, "But to be honest, with Dong Heng's character, this matter can't be hidden for too long, and Xie Xue, sooner or later, she'll know about it."
Xie Qingcheng nodded with a soft sigh.
"It can't be helped, for now, it can be hidden for a while."
That was pretty much the end of the conversation between the two.
Wei Er Brother knew that Xie Qingcheng had suffered too much today, and also had to hold out at the wedding banquet, and by this time was already very tired, so he got up and said, "Then I'll go out first, there's still some aftermath to be done, so you have a good night's rest."
He said, dimmed the lights in the room for Xie Qingcheng, and finally looked at Xie Qingcheng for a couple of moments, his eyes were very sensible and did not stay longer, moving away.
He previously and sister-in-law of this big brother chat, are not to male enhancement that aspect to think, however, Xuan pavilion inside that picture and those voices is really too compelling, the second brother in the bamboo door to pull open, see the door inside the aroma, can not be said not shocked. Especially when Xie Qingcheng lying on his back on the bamboo mat, exposing the white neck, knit up the dark eyebrows ...... Wei Er brother is not gay, but was also shocked.
Xie Xue, whom his brother married, is pure beauty.
But he did not expect, the original more seductive is Xie Xue's big brother.
It's no wonder He Yu was hooked like that ...... Well ...... I don't blame the young man for being impulsive ......
Wei Er thought slickly as he prepared to leave, but as soon as the door opened, he saw a male gentleman standing outside Xie Qingcheng's room with red eyes and a disoriented look.
Wei Er : "...... hmm? Chen Man?"
Xie Qingcheng inside the room stiffened slightly when he heard those two words.
He was in a blurred state of mind in the bamboo house, except for He Yu, who was close at hand, he was clear, but everything else was as hazy as a layer of water mist, and the door of the bamboo house was quickly closed by He Yu, and after that, the guests were all driven away, so Xie Qingcheng actually did not know exactly who had spied on his love affair with He Yu.
But Wei Er knew that.
Chen Man was also there at that time, he was a godson recognized by Mr. Wei, and he came with Mr. Wei's group.
Because he heard the whispers at the banquet that the groom had been talking to the bride's brother about something and hadn't come to the wedding banquet until now, his heart began to panic, so he followed the last group of Wei family members and friends who had gone to Xuan Pavilion to look for someone to head to that place.
He was later taken away by the Wei family as if he had lost his mind.
After the dinner was over, Chen Man couldn't hold back any longer, so he went to Xie Qingcheng's room and came face to face with the Wei family's second son.
Wei Er : "Are you here for something?"
Chen Man : "I ...... Xie how is he doing?"
Wei Er raised his eyebrows, he did not know that Chen Man was close to Xie Qingcheng.
Before he could reply, Xie Qingcheng's voice came from behind him, "...... Let him come in."
Since Xie Qingcheng had said so, Wei Er couldn't say anything else, and he sidestepped, letting Chen Man go in.
Xie Qingcheng is still sitting on the Windsor chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, Chen Man went in and saw his side silhouette sunk in the soft scarlet armchair, Xie Qingcheng has indeed lost too much weight lately, the air-conditioning of the room is turned on low, and he covered his body with a snow flannel blanket, but he could hardly see any ups and downs.
There are some things that since you can't avoid them, you might as well face them.
Xie Qingcheng figured that whatever happened tonight wouldn't make him feel any worse, so he allowed Chen Man to come in and write off all those bad debts for the day.
He was really so tired that he didn't even realize that Chen Man had unlocked the door of the hotel room when he entered.
Chen Man stood in the foyer, looking at his silhouette against the night window, his voice as hoarse as if it had been beaten by frosted paper. He called out softly, "Brother Xie."
Xie Qingcheng looked up with the thin blanket on, "Are you ...... also in Xuange in the afternoon?"
"...... Uh-huh." Chen Man answered and came to Xie Qingcheng's side.
There was an aura around him that was different from the usual, but unfortunately Xie Qingcheng was too tired at the moment to feel it in time.
Xie Qingcheng confirmed that Chen Man had seen him and He Yu. Although Chen Man had already known that their relationship was unclean, the stimulus he received after seeing it with his own eyes was different. Since he came here, he must have something he couldn't stand and wanted to say to himself.
Xie Qingcheng coughs, "Between He Yu and I ......"
"Brother, you don't love him, do you?" The words were interrupted by Chen Man before they were finished.
Xie Qingcheng : "......"
"I know you don't love him at all, you're not gay, you don't like men, he forced himself on you, I could tell that day when I was in front of your dormitory." Chen Man went on and on, looking agitated.
He abruptly looked up and stared at Xie Qingcheng.
There was an arrogance in those eyes that never belonged to Chen Man.
"Xie, is he using his position to force you to be good with him? You tell me - I can help you, I can go to my grandpa, I can hide you as long as you want, I can take care of you, you don't have to see him at all anymore. He'll never ...... he'll never be able to do anything so outrageous again!"
"Chen Man, calm down ......"
"He made you lose face in front of so many people!!!" Chen Man simply couldn't calm down anymore, and at this moment, that dictatorial temperament in him that belonged to the son of an official family finally broke through the ground.
How can he still hold back?
He was very good-tempered and gentle, but no one who was good-tempered and gentle could possibly accept that his unattainable god was female for another man, and that he had seen it with his own eyes! In front of many people!
Chen Man's face is shrouded in a layer of fiery emotion, and he doesn't even look like himself anymore.
"I'll take you away, Brother Xie, I'll take you to Yanzhou, to my grandfather's land, He Yu Even if he has great skill he can't find you ...... He can't insult you anymore ...... He can't force you anymore ...... I'll take you ...... I'll take you now ......"
He became more and more agitated and went forward and clutched Xie Qingcheng's wrist.
Xie Qingcheng broke away from him and raised his voice, "Chen Man! I told you to calm down!"
Chen Man, however, raised his hand to cover his eyes the moment he was pushed away - he was crying.
"What gives him the right to do this to you ah ...... obviously I know you first ...... Xie brother ...... obviously I know you first! "
"What the hell are you talking about ......" Xie Qingcheng was stupefied by his emotions at the moment, he originally thought that Chen Man came in to express his disappointment, but what Chen Man expressed seemed to be another a more depressing and heavy emotion.
Chen Man stood still for a while, blocking his eyes and choking, until Xie Qingcheng said--
"It's you who misunderstood, this time in Xuan Pavilion, he didn't force me to do anything."
"......" Chen Man slowly put down his arm, he originally already had a heartache like a strangulation, at this moment heard Xie Qingcheng say so, it is even cold hands and feet, "He ...... didn't force you?"
"He didn't."
"So you guys ...... so you guys are ......"
Xie Qingcheng did not want to involve Chen Man too deeply in this matter, so he kept the truth that he and He Yu had been drugged to himself.
All he said to Chen Man was, "I know you're seeing things that make you disappointed in me, but there's nothing I can do to explain anything to you."
"......"
"Chen Man, you and He Yu, both of you in this circle in Huzhou, you are both people of honor, and the two families are also low to the ground, I don't want you to have any conflict with him."
If Xie Qingcheng's eyesight had been better, he would have been able to notice that Chen Man's face was looking less and less like a living person as he spoke these words, and the emotions loaded in his gaze were becoming more and more broken.
Too bad he couldn't see it.
"Actually, I wanted to talk to you the one time you and He Yu Yu met at school ...... If you think it makes you feel very uncomfortable, even disgusted, that I would do such a thing with someone who is similar in age to you... ...I can understand all that. After all, once upon a time you didn't have such an impression of me. Even if you feel that I deceived you, I won't make a distinction."
Chen Man was like a fish in his throat, "...... Brother Xie ...... I don't understand ...... you used to be so nice to Sister Ruoqiu, I thought ...... I thought you only liked women ......"
"......"
"If you like men too ...... why is it him?"
Chen Man clutched Xie Qingcheng's wrist once more, and teardrops fell and smashed onto the back of Xie Qingcheng's hand, "How could it be him?!"
A twenty-year-old.
Just like this, the big brother of the Xie family, whom he had admired for so long, but had always dared not even open his mouth to confess, felt that it was blasphemy, had been tainted ......
While he was treating Xie Qingcheng with respect, Xie Qingcheng was in the bed of a boy even younger than himself, his eyes lax, the end of his eyes raw tears.
His Brother Shea ......
This was originally his Brother Shea!
Chen Man The more he thought about it, the more he hated it, hatred, sadness, and jealousy ...... These emotions were like lava, eroding his originally clear heart at this moment, and he tried his best to restrain himself, using the last of his sanity to keep himself from doing anything out of character.
Until--
He saw the bloodstain on Xie Qingcheng's lip.
That was the trace left behind by the kiss with He Yu, Chen Man looked at it so closely, his heart was like a knife, his brain buzzed, it was as if that scene in the bamboo house of Xuan Ge flashed before his eyes again. His ears seemed to be ringing with the broken sound that came from that Japanese-style hut, which he couldn't help but leak out despite his efforts to repress it.
Xie Qingcheng couldn't bear to call He Yu's name at that time ......
He called He Yu by name!
The last glimmer of sanity was swallowed up.
Chen Man suppressed more than ten years of feelings at this moment completely tore through the disguise, surging out, broke his inner dam. He suddenly grasped Xie Qingcheng's hand that does not make strength, will not be on his guard Xie Qingcheng violently grabbed up, back to the body pressed on the bed, heavily pressed up.
And then, he kissed Xie Qingcheng's lips.
"!!!"
Xie Qingcheng Suddenly opened his eyes wide.
A string seems to have snapped in the brain ......
