Shen Meng skipped to Su Ye's nanny Che Li downstairs and picked out a bunch of snacks that were not high in calories but that Su Ye might like. Before leaving, she went around to the gate to take a look.
Xi Xing was filming a one-person story on location. The dilapidated doorway of the rescue building was surrounded by equipment and staff except for the designated view.
Xi Wei stood among them, wearing a white shirt and trousers of the school uniform. Her hair style has not changed much, it has been shortened a bit, but all her earrings have been removed. She is still handsome and full of boyishness.
"I'm sorry, could you please tell me when the scene with Teacher Xi was filmed?" Shen Meng asked in a low voice, remembering Su Ye's slightly bent eyes when he mentioned Xi Wei.
"What a coincidence, this game is almost over."
Shen Meng nodded, feeling happy for Su Ye, and simply hummed a tune and waited for Xi Xi, thinking that they would go up together to give Su Ye a surprise later.
It was just after noon, the light was very good, and Shen Meng looked at Xi Wei, who played Gu Yang, on the monitor.
Guyang was bending down and picking up a fallen leaf that had not been swept away from the ground.
The fallen leaves were dry. As soon as Gu Yang pinched the petiole, before he could straighten up, the yellow and brittle leaves broke into pieces, and the debris fell down his fingertips.
Quietly, this fallen leaf did not even make a slight sound when it was broken, and it had already fallen into the air and landed quietly at Gu Yang's feet.
Gu Yang held the exercise book and notebook in his hand, looking at the leaves with only one petiole left in his fingertips, his expression blank and confused.
He looked up again,
The dilapidated, dusty relief building covered with small advertisements came into view. The residents are crowded, and each door is like a pile of small faded squares. Looking at it at a glance makes people breathless.
Bai Hui lives in this kind of place.
And he never knew this.
"Stuck!"
Kong Wenyan nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's rest for a while and then continue."
Xi Wei's chest rose and fell slightly, and the breath that was stagnated in his lungs was exhaled silently, and he pinched the half of the flexible leaf stalk in his hand.
He was born in the Xi family, and it is no exaggeration to say that he has good clothes and good food since he was a child. Even when he was studying abroad, he lived in exquisite and bright high-rise apartments and traveled in clean and spacious neighborhoods.
This kind of place is very unfamiliar to Xi Wei. It is a scene that can only be seen in newspapers and news.
When he was acting just now, Xi Wei could not help but completely empathize with Gu Yang. This empathy was even more deeply rooted in people's hearts than when he played Song Chengyu and met Su Ye's Song Chengzhi.
Xi Wei looked at the dilapidated building with a demolition notice posted on the door.
Did Su Ye live in a place like this when he was a child?
"Brother Xi, thank you for your hard work." Shen Meng saw Xi Yun in a daze and spoke cautiously from the side, "Brother Su Ye just asked you if you had finished filming."
"Yeah." Xi Wei came back to her senses and saw Shen Meng holding a bunch of snacks, "Is he hungry?"
Shen Meng shook her head, "No, my stomach seems to be not feeling well, so I'm just thinking about getting me something to eat."
Xi Wei nodded without saying anything. He said hello to the staff and walked into the building.
Shen Meng quickly followed behind and didn't speak again.
Teacher Xi really didn't talk much when he wasn't with Brother Su Ye.
The filming location for Su Ye's scene was on the fifth floor of the top floor. When I went upstairs, I met many staff members who greeted Shen Meng warmly.
Xi Yuan walked in front and nodded in response to the condolences from the staff. Thinking that he would see Su Ye soon, the state of being unable to regain his senses suddenly improved a lot.
Fortunately, Su Ye was not immersed in that environment now, but stayed with him in a warm and bright place.
Buzz buzz.
While Xi Yun was spreading his thoughts, his cell phone vibrated suddenly.
It was Xi Niao's call.
Xi Wei glanced at it but didn't answer, planning to call back later.
It shouldn't be an urgent matter. If it is an urgent matter, Xi Niao will usually choose to contact Xiao Yang directly.
He would see Su Ye soon, and he wanted to watch Su Ye eat the food before dealing with other things.
Shen Meng saw Xi Xing's movements, but didn't ask any more questions. Teacher Xi's matters were not something she could just ask about.
When they arrived on the fifth floor, Shen Meng trotted up to Xi Yun first, and then stared at the empty chairs in the rest area for a moment.
There was also a down jacket given to Su Ye by the crew on the back of the chair, but the person who was supposed to be sitting on the chair was missing. The bottle of water that Shen Meng handed to Su Ye was placed on the ground next to the chair. It looked like he only took a sip.
Shen Meng stopped the passers-by, "Sister, I'm sorry, have you seen our brother Su Ye?"
Xi Wei was three or four steps behind and saw Shen Meng talking to the passing staff, but Su Ye was not around.
Just as he was about to walk over and ask what was wrong, his phone rang again, this time it was a text message.
[Niaoyi: Answer the phone and tell me something about Xiaoye. ]
Xi Niao stopped, glanced at Shen Meng who was still talking on the other end, and called Xi Niao.
"I checked again about Lin He before. As you guessed, Lin He was responsible for the debts of Xiaoye's family at that time, but I found something more interesting."
Xi Yan listened to Xi Niao's words and stared at Shen Meng in front of him.
Shen Meng was still talking with a smile at first, but as she spoke, her brows furrowed, with a look of confusion on her face.
The staff member opposite her did the same thing. He touched the back of his head and turned around to call another staff member over.
"Well, you say."
Xi Niao paused, noticing that Zhen Xuan was absent-minded, "What's wrong?"
Although Xi Yun was often in this state when facing others, he was never like this when it came to Su Ye's affairs.
The three people on the opposite side were still talking together. Xi Yan took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette, slowly suppressing the uneasy emotions in his heart.
He attributed this emotion to the reason of this building. Because it was too dilapidated, he couldn't lift his mood, as if a thread was stretched and would break when pulled.
"It's okay, I'm listening, keep talking."
"Well." Xi Niao didn't want to waste any more time, "Although Lin He later became one of the legal persons named in that securities, he was not engaged in business at all in the beginning. He was also responsible for collecting debts. To put it bluntly, he was a thug. Later he became slow Slowly gain a foothold.”
Xi Wei thought of something and said sensitively, "Did he come to collect Su Ye's father's debt?"
Xi Niao was stunned for a moment, "Well, you guessed it?"
Xi Wei's teeth suddenly bit the explosive bead into pieces.
"Su Ye's father is already dead. He died in that incident."
Xi Niao's mind was very flexible, her tone instantly became serious, her voice was fast and straight to the point.
"Is the court record of Su Ye's mother because of this incident?"
Xi Yun bit the sponge of the filter, feeling a shaky and unstable feeling in her heart.
"Well, I met his mother in Geneva, and Su Ye also told me something. His mother was taken to court, but was found not guilty due to mental illness and self-defense."
Xi Wei remembered the hesitation behind Su Ye's heavy eyes when he mentioned this matter.
"But Su Ye told me that he didn't think his mother would lose control and accidentally kill someone. His mother did seem to me to be relatively weak. Even if she got sick, she wouldn't be to the point where she could kill a conscious man. ”
At the end of Xi Yuan's words, his voice became a little deeper.
Xi Niao listened carefully on the other side and took a deep breath when she heard the last part.
"I understand, you think there is something wrong with Su Ye's father's death."
Xi Xing's heartbeat was beating fast and heavily, as if she sensed some sign.
If so, everything makes sense.
Su Ye was just an artist with no background, and he had been out of the spotlight for five years. There shouldn't be anything about him that would make Lin He afraid of him.
But what if Lin He was once related to the murder case?
What if the death of Su Ye's father was not caused by Su Ye's mother, Su Yun, but by Lin He?
Lin He was not an easy person to begin with. The fact that he could climb from the background mentioned by Xi Niao to the position of Xingli shareholder step by step is enough to prove that he is a ruthless character.
Xi Niao's voice became very fast.
"Wait, don't worry. If this is what we think, Lin He should have noticed Su Ye when he first entered Xingli. Why do we have to wait until five years later to find a way to kick Su Ye out? ”
Xi Yun directly threw away the bitten cigarette butt, and squeezed out each word from the gap between his teeth.
"Su Ye changed his name, including his surname."
He only learned about this not long ago.
When Su Ye was a child, he took his father's surname, Gu, with the single word Zhi, and his original name was Gu Zhi.
On the other end of the phone, Xi Niao took a deep breath quietly.
"Gu Zhi. Su Ye"
Xi Wei quickly connected everything together.
Not long ago, the stylist at Ji Ru's studio said that when she was doing hair with the Oril group five years ago, she accidentally discovered a scar on the back of Su Ye's head.
After Lin He found out about this incident, the stylist was quickly fired and was hidden in the industry for several years.
Su Ye was interviewed by senior management at almost the same time, and negotiated to persuade Su Ye to leave Oril and not appear in the public eye for five years.
A five-year hiatus is fatal to an artist who was born in a boy band. It is basically equivalent to announcing the end of his acting career.
No one expected that Su Ye would come back under such heavy pressure.
"Lin He was suspicious because of the old scar, and then he recognized Su Ye."
Xi Yun was relatively calm and came to a conclusion quickly and accurately.
"Only when a person has done something wrong will he keep trying to cover it up." Xi Niao was silent for a moment, "According to your guess, Su Ye's father's death may have nothing to do with his mother at all, and his mother was framed. ”
However, Su Yun's mental instability prevented Su Yun from testifying for herself. Precisely because of her mental problems, the theory of "manslaughter" became extremely convincing.
A mentally unstable madman, no matter what he does in the eyes of the world, it is not surprising,
Xi Niao and Xi Wei thought of a very terrifying guess at the same time.
"Xi Yu."
"I understand."
Xi Wei felt a muscle pulsing in his forehead, which made his head hurt so much that he even clenched his fist and hammered it twice.
Her heart was still beating rapidly, making Xi Wei feel more and more uneasy.
He was originally a relatively rational person, and his impulsiveness was only caused by Su Ye.
But ever since he went upstairs, the cold sweat on Xi Yan's back hadn't stopped.
“Except for the debt collection gangsters, there were only three witnesses at the scene.”
Xi Niao remained calm and rationally deduced the conclusion that both of them had vague premonitions about.
"One is Su Ye's mother. Because she suffers from mental illness, her testimony is not valid."
"One is Su Ye's father. He has died in this conflict. The dead cannot speak."
"The last one. Xi Wei"
Xi Niao's voice was already slightly worried and nervous.
Xi Wei took her words.
"It's Su Ye."
In this old case that has been buried for more than ten years, Su Ye is the only one who was at the scene and may have witnessed something, even though Su Ye's own memory has been somewhat confused.
But for the real murderer, Su Ye's existence is undoubtedly an uncertain factor full of threats.
Xi Yun's breathing began to become a little unsteady. He held the phone and raised his eyes to look at Shen Meng again, his heartbeat getting faster and faster.
There were only three people gathered together at Shen Meng's place. In the short two minutes when Xi Xing made the call, many staff members gathered around. Anxiety and confusion kept appearing on the faces of those people, and they were reflected in the table. In Xin's eyes.
The snacks that Shen Meng was holding disappeared. The little girl seemed to be in a panic and threw them on the stool where Su Ye was sitting. Some candies were not placed firmly and rolled all over the floor.
Next to Xi Yuan's ears, Xi Niao's voice continued, constantly reminding him of something.
"Xi Xing, I hope we are wrong. If that is what we guessed, Xiaoye is in a very bad situation now. Lin He is very tactful, but it has involved matters concerning personal fundamental interests. You will never I don’t know what he will do. Try not to leave Xiaoye alone and make sure he is always there——"
Xi Wei hung up the phone and quickly walked towards the crowd.
The edges of his vision were swollen and distorted like an out-of-shape photo, and even the sounds of the crowd were blurred.
Xi Xing's heart beat violently and was suspended high by a thin thread.
"Where's Su Ye?"
Xi Yuan pushed aside the people gathered around him, walked up to Shen Meng, and spoke in a suppressed voice.
When Shen Meng looked up and saw Xi Xi's expression, she was so frightened that her scalp almost exploded.
Xi Xing's expression was very scary.
That handsome face had sunk to the extreme, the pupils were constricted, the edges of the whites of the eyes were faintly red, and shallow veins appeared on the corners of the forehead. Before Shen Meng could speak, Xi Wei had already reached out and held her shoulders.
"Where's Su Ye?!"
Shen Meng was so frightened that she couldn't help but another thing was weighing on her mind, which made her ignore Xi Xing's expression and speak quickly.
She looked like she was about to cry, "Brother Xi, they said they didn't see where he went. He hasn't been back for more than ten minutes!"
The thin thread hanging on Xi Yun's heart was broken, and Xi Yuan's heart fell heavily.
"All of you here."
Xi Wei heard herself speak, her voice was surprisingly calm, completely different from her previous state at the airport when she learned that Su Ye was present.
"Where did Su Ye go after filming? If anyone sees him, think about it immediately."
While talking, Xi Wei quickly called Su Ye.
The phone rang, Xi Wei bent down and took out Su Ye's cell phone from the pocket of the down jacket hanging on the back of Su Ye's chair.
Xi Xing's face darkened again.
Shen Meng was so anxious that she was wiping tears.
"Brother Xi!" From the other side of the corridor, Xiao Yang quickly ran up, followed by the panting Director Zhang, holding a floor plan of the relief building in his hand.
Xiao Yang just received a call from Xi Niao. When he heard Xi Niao saying that Su Ye might be in danger, his whole body almost exploded on the spot.
"There are pictures here. Teacher Su hasn't been away for long. He must still be nearby. Brother, don't worry."
Xi Yun took the picture handed over by Xiao Yang, tried her best to suppress her beating heart, and asked the question again loudly.
A young girl trotted over from another place, raising her hands and speaking.
"Me, me, me! Teacher Xi, when I passed by Teacher Su just now, I heard him asking where the bathroom was, and then a field attendant led Teacher Su over there!"
The girl pointed to a place.
Xi Yun didn't ask a second time. Without saying anything, she picked up her feet and ran over there.
Su Ye followed the smiling steward and wrapped himself in a thick coat. The pervasive cold was finally better.
The field attendant led the way, passing by some equipment rooms on the way. Several staff members on duty greeted Su Ye after seeing him.
"Is the bathroom this far away?"
After Su Ye greeted another staff member, he felt a little confused and asked in a low voice.
He thought it would be just a short turn away, but he didn't expect that he had walked for three or four minutes and still hadn't seen the bathroom.
Su Ye felt a little uneasy, but some other staff members passed by along the way, which somewhat dispelled some of his hesitation.
Su Ye laughed at himself for thinking too much.
Maybe there have been too many emergencies recently, which made him a little too easily startled.
Director Kong Wenyan's team has strict requirements, and everyone in the team has to pass the test at every level.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Teacher Su, because this building is too old and many pipes have been abandoned, so it is located further away."
The steward turned around and explained with a smile.
"That's right." Su Ye nodded.
Su Ye felt a little regretful.
If it was so far away, he should go straight downstairs to the RV and take a look at Xi Wei.
The building was too old, and there was some draft everywhere. Su Ye was so cold that he put his hand in his coat pocket and touched the candy that Xi Wei had given him before.
Su Ye's eyes curled up.
Fortunately, Xi Yuan should have almost finished this scene, and she will be able to see him directly when she goes back soon.
Su Ye tasted the candy Xi Yu gave him before. There was a kind of translucent lychee candy in it, which was very sweet. Su Ye picked them all out and stuffed them into the other pocket. He decided to give them to Xi Yu when he saw him soon. He tastes it.
Xi Yuan should like this sweetness.
"Teacher Su, we're here, right in front."
The staff stopped and pointed the direction to Su Ye, "Just go through that door and go around the corner."
Su Ye stopped his random thoughts and thanked him politely, "Thank you, sorry for bothering you."
The field manager shook his head and said, "Teacher Su, you're too polite."
Su Ye followed the path pointed out to him by the field staff, passed through a very dilapidated corridor door, turned a corner, and stopped in front of a light green door.
He looked up, doubts rising in his heart again.
The door did have an old little sign with the restroom symbol hanging above it, but it still looked shabby.
The temporary restroom set up by the crew cannot be said to be very luxurious, but at least it will be clean and refreshing, and will never be so messy and dilapidated.
The shutters under this door were even mottled and peeled off, making them very dirty.
Su Ye took a look and felt uncomfortable.
He hesitated briefly and did not reach out to touch the old-fashioned round metal door handle that was no longer reflective. He took a step back and chose to go downstairs to find Xi Wei.
Just as he stepped back, Su Ye immediately bumped into someone.
"Who?!"
Su Ye was startled. He turned around and saw the field attendant who was leading the way. He followed him at some point and stood silently behind him.
The field attendant still had a smile on his face, "Teacher Su, why don't you go?"
A layer of tiny goose bumps quickly crawled up Su Ye's back.
He said calmly: "I forgot that I just asked my assistant to get something——"
Before Su Ye finished speaking, the steward suddenly opened the door and pushed Su Ye in hard.
Bang!
The ground was slippery, and Su Ye had no time to stand still. He fell heavily behind the door, and half of his body fell on the dirty tile floor, which made his bones hurt.
But he ignored the pain in his body and immediately stood up and rushed towards the closed door.
"Who are you! Open the door quickly!"
The light green door dinged, Su Ye tried hard to knock on the door, but couldn't open it.
The door was locked.
Su Ye's reason gave him this understanding, but his emotional panic began to creep out little by little.
The door was locked and he was locked behind it.
He was locked in the bathroom.
Toilet.
Su Ye hammered the door so hard that his knuckles bled and his joints hurt terribly.
"Is there anyone! Open the door!"
There were already a few blood stains on the light green door, but Su Ye still banged tirelessly, using the sharp pain to suppress the panic in his heart.
Once he couldn't suppress it, those vague but frightening memories would come overwhelmingly.
Su Ye had already experienced it once, and he knew very well that if he couldn't suppress it, this panic would completely overwhelm him.
Mother's voice sounded outside the door.
[Xiaoye, forget it, forget all this. ]
But he didn't want to be like that, he wanted to see Xi Yun.
"Open the door!"
[Mom, open the door! ]
Su Ye's voice had begun to become hoarse, and a slight smell of blood and rust filled the air, making his lungs constrict and making it difficult to breathe.
"Is there anyone there? Open the door!"
Su Ye hammered again and again, his eyes widened, and his black hair was wet with cold sweat and stuck to his face.
He lowered his hand and slammed the door with all his strength again, fighting with his own reason and the panic deep in his memory.
Su Ye used too much force and hit the door with his forehead, causing a small scratch.
But he felt no pain in his forehead.
What hurt was the back of the head, where the old scar was burning.
The too intense movements made Su Ye's breathing become more and more rapid.
His mind seemed to begin to pull away from his body, and he heard his own screams.
Deep in the shouting, some voices that Su Ye had forgotten began to emerge.
[Fuck, where is his son? This woman is quite smart and locked her son in the toilet. ]
[Damn bitch, why are you making such a fuss? What's wrong with you as a woman? ]
[Damn it, Gu Dongfang, stop yelling here and pay back the money quickly! ]
[Is this woman crazy? Damn it! ]
A gust of cold wind blew, and Su Ye shivered, and his body fell to the ground again due to the reaction force.
The cold wind kept sweeping over, making Su Ye's spirit more and more confused.
Su Ye turned his head unconsciously and saw a large area of bright skylight.
His stomach was suddenly clenched to the extreme by a hand.
The scene behind him reflected in his wide eyes.
Abandoned and dirty restroom, half of the room collapsed, the innermost wall has completely collapsed and broken, even the ground is split open, reinforced concrete is hanging in the air, plastic bags blown from nowhere scrape on the broken and protruding parts The steel bars made a faint sound in the cold wind.
This is a dangerous building. The bathroom is just next to the building. Half of it has completely collapsed and is hanging in the air. The bright skylight outside illuminates the inside very clearly.
Su Ye could even see the tall buildings in the distance and the ruins of the walls downstairs at a glance.
If the field attendant had been stronger and the ground had been slipperier, he might have fallen down the fifth floor and his body was smashed into the broken steel and concrete downstairs.
Su Ye's face turned pale, he leaned against the door and slowly slumped down.
The biting wind blew on Su Ye's face, and the cold air rushed into his lungs. Su Ye's throat made a wheezing sound like a leaking accordion.
"Open the door. Please. Open the door."
The feeling of suffocation in his lungs became stronger and stronger. Su Ye pinched his neck with his slender fingers, and used his other hand to reach for the dirty door handle.
The feeling of suffocation caused physiological tears to well up in his eyes, making him dizzy, and his hallucinations overlapped with reality again.
[Mom, please. Open the door.]
Su Ye fell beside the door, curled up, breathing hard in small mouths, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
The feeling of suffocation enveloped everything, leaving him no room to even breathe.
In Su Ye's confused state of mind, a sentence suddenly popped out of Su Ye's mind.
[Shui Shui, remember, I'm right next to you. ]
"Xi Yu. Xi Yu"
"——Shui Shui!"
Like a flashback, Xi Xun's voice rang out, as if responding to Su Ye's begging murmur, pouring into Su Ye's ears.
"Shui Shui!"
There was a loud noise from the light green door, and Su Ye opened his mouth with all his strength, but only some broken, untuned hoarse voices came out, so horribly small that no one could hear him.
Su Ye could hardly hear his own voice.
The edges of his vision went black, and light spots like fairy dust continued to erupt, and memories continued to emerge with these light spots.
The door rang again, followed by the sound of something clanking to the ground.
The door was finally pushed open.
Su Ye curled up in the corner and opened his eyes hard to see.
Was it Su Yun? Was it Su Yun who finally opened the bathroom door after hearing her son's struggling cry?
Su Ye tried hard to distinguish.
Then his breathing completely stagnated, and he was completely suffocated.
It wasn't Su Yun. A man covered in blood appeared from the door. He was holding a long knife that looked vaguely familiar to Su Ye. He stood by the door and calmly looked at the man who was struggling due to suffocation. Cyanotic Su Ye.
At this moment, even the cold wind stopped howling.
Su Ye felt that he might be dead, otherwise why wouldn't he feel the biting cold wind.
Even breathing becomes much easier.
He had read in a book before that when a person is on the verge of death in winter, his senses will be confused and he will no longer feel cold, but will feel bursts of warmth.
Just like what he was feeling now.
"Water, water, water!"
The warm feeling continued to amplify, wrapping Su Ye without any gaps.
A drop of cold stuff fell on Su Ye's half-open eyelids.
It's strange, doesn't he no longer feel cold?
Su Ye tried very hard to hold up his eyelids, raised his eyes, and looked in front of him.
Xi Yun's handsome, yet furious and panic-stricken face came into Su Ye's eyes.
He hugged the curled-up Su Ye tightly, holding the aerosol on Su Ye's face in his hand. Sweat kept sliding over the corner of his jaw and dripping on Su Ye's cheek.
