MTL - The Humble Spare Tire is Set After the Car Rolls Over-Chapter 175 You are wrong, I refuse to be right, you are ignorant and I am ignorant (28)
Tan Lie's people saw the appearance of the person who took Chao Ci that day.
Even if Huo Yige's whereabouts were mysterious, it would not be difficult to put his face on his identity. It's just that even though they knew that Chao Ci was taken away by the Huo family's head, the clues after that... they had no way to start.
The place that was blocked that day was just not a big road. Afterwards, when I checked the surveillance, it was also deliberately destroyed.
Tan Lie had no evidence in his hands, so he could only search little by little with extremely limited clues.
City B wasn't Tanlie's base after all. After two or three days, he was very anxious, but every time he found out some details, it was empty in the end.
Tan Lie's desk was strewn with countless information collected these days. He looked at the true and false news, and his dark green eyes were bloodshot.
He hasn't slept for two days.
He abruptly stood up from his desk and strode out the door.
He can no longer waste time on these smoke bombs released by Huo Yige.
...
Zhao Yi didn't go to school these days and stayed in the company.
Similar to Tan Lie's family, the Zhao family also handed over the next branch to Zhao Yi for him to practice.
His mental state is also not very good. Since that day at the airport and the court ceremony, he has been unable to sleep for several days, and can only rely on work to numb himself all day.
"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Tan from Shuhua is looking for you." His secretary walked into the office and said to him.
Shuhua is a blue-blooded brand under the Tanlie family, and Tanlie came to Z country to build a certain Z country market for Shuhua.
Didn't Tan Lie leave country D with his resignation?
This was Zhao Yi's first reaction when he heard this.
He didn't want to see Tan Lie now, and when he heard the name, he was extremely disgusted, and he didn't even want to think about the resignation.
But after a moment of silence, he still nodded to the secretary and said, "Let him come up."
Tan Lie seemed to be in a hurry, and within a few minutes, Zhao Yi's office was hurriedly pushed open.
Zhao Yi thought that his appearance these days was scary enough, but when he saw Tan Lie's appearance at this time, he realized that he was far worse than Tan Lie.
He was horribly pale now. Right now it was blue, purple and black, bloodshot in his eyes, messy clothes, and even a lot of stubble.
Although Zhao Yi and Tan Lie were not acquainted, he knew that they, who called themselves Nordic nobles, had always been very troubled. In the past, when he saw Tan Lie next to Chao Ci, this guy had to be meticulous from the hair to the soles of his shoes, but now this is indeed the first time he has seen him.
For no reason, he was a little nervous and flustered.
"Are you looking for me?" Zhao Yi put down the information in his hand and looked up at Tan Lie.
"The morning speech is gone."
Tan Lie didn't talk nonsense with Zhao Yi, but said directly.
Zhao Yi was startled, as if he didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Tan Lie walked in front of Zhao Yi in three or two steps, and repeated: "He was taken away by Huo Yige, I can't find him!"
"Huo Yige?" Zhao Yi read the name, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "That old immortal from the Huo family? What does he have to do with Chao Ci?"
"Could it be that, like you, it's his love debt outside? He left you and ran away with Huo Yige?"
His tone became more playful.
Zhao Yi wanted to say something else, and threw a punch in front of him.
Zhao Yi subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, and his expression changed from playful to bad: "Mr. Tan, talk is talk, what's the point of doing it here?"
Even though he said so, he didn't show any mercy on his hands, the phalanges kept exerting force, and Tan Lie's wrist was pinched so much that he could even hear the bones rattle.
With his free hand, he unbuttoned the two buttons on the top of his shirt and loosened his tie: "If you really want to do it, I can also accompany you."
Hearing that Chao Ci was gone, Zhao Yi was not worried.
But he didn't understand the situation, he didn't understand how dangerous Chao Ci's current situation and Huo Yige's attitude were. He subconsciously thought it was the trouble caused by the jealousy between Tan Lie and Huo Yige.
Last time, although he and Chao Ci had an unhappy breakup, Chao Ci was different from others. He just didn't want to show it in front of Tan Lie at this time, not that he wasn't worried.
It's just that Tan Lie didn't want to talk about this with Zhao Yi at all. He and Zhao Yi looked at each other and suddenly said, "Do you know why Chao Ci wants to go to country D with me?"
Chaoci and Tanlie went to D country, isn't it because of Tanlie? The attitude of the court speech that day clearly explained everything.
He thought about it subconsciously, but he was inexplicably hesitant when he looked at Tan Lie's expression at this time.
"Why?" he couldn't help asking.
"He's ill." Tan Lie said, his brows were full of repressed heaviness and depression. "Severe depression has a serious tendency to self-destruct. Country D has a higher level of treatment in this regard."
In just twenty or thirty words, Zhao Yi froze all over.
Tan Lie ignored Zhao Yi's reaction at this time, and he continued with a blank expression: "Do you know why Chao Ci has to hide from you for two months? Because two months ago, he lived before you and him. committed suicide in his apartment."
When he said this, the originally calm and cruel look was also stained with a tremor, as if the bloodless and lifeless youth appeared in front of him again that day.
He became excited, and even looked grim: "Do you know how he committed suicide? He put a full tank of warm water and bit the veins in his hands with his teeth. If I go a few minutes late, there will be no more in the world. There will be this person who will leave the court!"
Zhao Yi was astonished. The few words Tan Lie said were enough to make his heart numb.
"…Why?" He repeated the question subconsciously.
Why?
Why did Chao Ci commit suicide? He clearly looked cheerful.
For more than ten years, they have been inseparable, Zhao Yi is the one who is taciturn, but Chao Ci is like a little sun from beginning to end.
He rarely sees Chao Ci unhappy, and rarely sees him when he is vulnerable. It seems that he doesn't care about anything, and everything can be handled well.
What else was he dissatisfied with, why did he commit suicide?
Zhao Yi felt an unprovoked anger in his heart, for Chao Ci's lack of self-love, but more of it was full of distress and panic.
"Because he loves you, he has loved you for seven years." Tan Lie looked down at Zhao Yi, who was sitting in front of him at this moment, with a stunned and painful expression.
"He likes you, but you don't like men. So he watched other girls chasing you, and he even had to help you. He watched you lose your mind for that girl, and accompany you to Europe for dozens of days, looking for Your sweetheart. He drank wine with you all night, and you were relieved, but he never came out."
These words, Chao Ci only said to Tan Lie.
In that forever silent secret love, Chao Ci was able to speak to the screen and to Tan Lie, who had nothing to do with each other.
"You think you have the closest relationship with him and have been inseparable for more than ten years, but in fact you have never really understood him. You are just content with what he has given you and ignore his pain."
These words have been hidden in Tanlie's heart for a long time.
After so many years, can Zhao Yi really see nothing?
not necessarily. Even if he couldn't see it before, after Chao Ci confessed to him, he couldn't continue to pretend to be deaf, right?
But he still didn't understand Chao Ci at all. He could only see the smiling side of Chao Ci, but never saw the struggle behind him.
Tan Lie knew that he was angering. Because even the best friend is not obliged to dig and bear the pain of the other party, but this cannot reduce his disgust for Zhao Yi.
Tan Lie's remarks did not anger Zhao Yi. He lowered his head, his heart twitching in pain for a moment.
Yes, even if he didn't know it before, when he confessed to him in the court speech, he should have understood that seven years is such a long and heavy time.
It runs through many, many things.
Before he and Nan Xiaojin met, Chao Ci fell in love with him.
He fell in love with Nan Xiaojin, broke up with Nan Xiaojin, lost his soul for Nan Xiaojin... Chao Ci all loved him.
When he went to Europe with Chao Ci, he searched everywhere for any news related to Nan Xiaojin, and even went to visit every possible family with Chao Ci... At that time, what was Chao Ci's mood?
As a vested interest, some things will never be considered unless they are deliberately brought up.
"Where is he in Huo Yige?"
Zhao Yi stood up and asked softly.
There is no time to feel guilty and heartache, the most important thing now is to get the resignation back.
"Yes. But I only know that he was taken away by Huo Yige. There is no clue as to where he is." Tanlie said.
This is also the reason why he came to Zhao Yi.
Originally, he agreed to the court speech and would not tell Zhao Yi.
It's just that the safety of Chao Ci is now in the first place, and these are all ignored. Tan Lie's power is in country D, and it is beyond reach. Although Zhao Yi has not yet held the same power as Huo Yige, as long as he is willing to use the power of the Zhao family, coupled with Tan Lie's own, the possibility of finding the court speech is greatly improved.
"I don't have much time. I suspect that Chao Ci's suicide last time has something to do with Huo Yige." Tanlie said.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Yi actually felt that his throat was horribly dry at this time.
Tan Lie lowered his eyes, suppressing anger and distress in his eyes: "That day, when I rescued Chao Ci, in addition to the veins on his hands, he also had... traces of sexual abuse on his body."
Zhao Yi's eyes suddenly became scarlet.
"You, you mean..." He gritted his teeth and spat out a few words, his tone seemed to contain blood.
Tan Lie nodded.
The scarlet in front of him took a long time to dissipate, and Zhao Yi suddenly thought of something: "Chao Ci committed suicide... When was it?"
