22, Chapter 21
Jin Yan hadn't come back when he was having supper that day, and Jiang Qin didn't tell Li Meng what happened.
He already knew that Li Meng had let Tashi go - Li Meng didn't want to let him go, it would be better to have multiple playmates; but even if Tashi didn't grab the key and asked to leave, Li Meng wouldn't deliberately lock him up.
This child grew up in a place like the Jin family. He was born to accept those dark things, but he was kind enough to deal with people.
If he grew up with Jin Yan, he would definitely be a different person now. Perhaps Jin Yan knew this very well, so he had never interfered in Li Meng's education since he was a child and completely left the child to Jiang Qin to take care of.
After having some takeout for dinner, Li Meng went to take a shower and went to bed; Jiang Qin sat in the living room wrapped in a nightgown, quietly thinking about things in the dark.
He waited until the second half of the night, and Jin Yan did not come back.
This is actually very normal. Many things will be overturned once exposed. Jin Yan needs to race against time to cover up the clues again - a large number of traces need to be eliminated, many people need to be sealed, and countless documents need to be destroyed; when they reappear in front of Jiang Qin, he must ensure that everything on the surface is clean, even if Jiang Qin knows everything in his heart, he can't say a word.
This is Jin Yan's business skills, and Jiang Qin had seen it a long time ago. He used this decisive and decisive speed to crush many opponents to the point of not leaving any residue.
Jiang Qin knew that this method was used on him now.
When it dawn, he would check it again. Even if he digs three feet into the ground, he would never find anything that Jin Yan didn't want him to see. If he spoke again at that time, it would be unreasonable to say a word.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, Jin Yan pushed open the door, and was probably too tired all night. He turned on the light without raising his head, and wanted to enter the bedroom to change his clothes.
As a result, when he turned around, he saw Jiang Qin sitting on the sofa, he was shocked: "You... why haven't you gone to sleep yet?"
Jiang Qin's face was unexpectedly peaceful and said, "I'm waiting for you."
"What are you waiting for so late? Go and have a nap. What do you mean tomorrow..."
"Jin Yan, my parents saw that newspaper."
Jin Yan's heart tightened, and his beastly instinct immediately woke up, and he immediately thought of the words: "What newspaper?"
"My mom told me not to go back next weekend, you won."
"Why don't go back next weekend? I've said hello to the company. I flew directly to S City next weekend and bought a bunch of things to bring..."
Jiang Qin said tiredly: "Now you and me have no more truth?"
Jin Yan didn't expect that he would say something like this, and he didn't know how to react in an instant.
"The kid named Tashi has been let go by Li Meng. He said he is a subordinate of a Cambodian smuggler, the one named Jimei, is a smuggling logistics provider from Southeast Asia to the southern border. You trade jadeite rough from Myanmar and let them transport them from the China-Myanmar border to the south in exchange for you to provide them with guns and a lot of funds, but once you find that the goods are incorrect, they will make their lives pay."
What Jin Yan wanted to say was interrupted by Jiang Qin:
"You usually raise so many well-trained subordinates, and you find various names to give money to those in the officialdom every year. You invest in various movies with flowers all over the ground. The less you make money, the more you invest... Jin Yan, Shixing Entertainment has only developed for a few years, and the finances cannot be so rich. I have long felt something was wrong, but I have never dared to think about it, and lied to myself that it was just that you were too successful in your business."
Jiang Qin paused and said, "I only now know why you were determined to do the entertainment industry, because this industry can launder money."
Jin Yan's face finally changed.
"Do you remember what you swear to me? When Zhao Chengqiang died."
"Jiang Qin, let's talk about this tomorrow. It's too late. You can't stay up late." Jin Yan immediately went up to pull him, but Jiang Qin took his hand back, and his strength was still very strong.
Jin Yan felt a little guilty in an instant and forced himself to say, "I don't sleep so late, why do you mention those things? The past is over, I'm afraid you will always keep it in your heart..."
"You swear to me that you will do business in a regular manner in the future, even if you don't have money for the time being, or even if you don't have money for the rest of your life, it doesn't matter. Do you know why I took Zhao Chengqiang's affairs? Because I know that I can't explain his affairs clearly, there must be someone who will pay for his death. You must be innocent and I can take on all this."
Jiang Qin took a deep breath and said tremblingly: "I am willing to help you take all the charges, but you have gone further than I thought."
Jin Yan seemed to have a hard block in his throat and could not say anything. He rationally knew that Jiang Qin could hardly save his words when he said this, but he was completely unacceptable emotionally, full of despair and unwillingness.
"I...I could take it myself at that time. You didn't ask me for my opinion at all, so you just..."
"You were already stupid at that time," Jiang Qin said coldly.
Jin Yan knew he was not wrong. He was powerful now, but he was just a young boy who was the most slutty boy who had never seen a real life.
At that time, he was completely at a loss and only knew that he was standing there trembling. If it weren't for Jiang Qin, Zhao Chengqiang's death would have been revealed.
It was because of that incident that Jin Yan's understanding of Jiang Qin changed drastically. In the past, he only felt that he had the obligation and responsibility to protect Jiang Qin because he was weak and gentle and could not handle things. Later, he found that Jiang Qin showed strong decisiveness and overwhelming calmness when facing huge difficulties, even he could not reach.
Jiang Qin is the kind of person: when he loves you, he will devote himself to it, and he will sacrifice his life for you, and he will never regret it even if he gives up his life; but when he doesn't love you anymore, he will not even care about you dying for him.
The chill in Jin Yan's heart crawled all over his body bit by bit along his bone marrow, and he could only barely hold on to that tone: "... Actually, I just want to do a career and make more money to make you live a good life, and I won't regret it in the rest of my life..."
Jiang Qin decided to interrupt him: "That's your ambition, don't use me as an excuse!"
Outside the window is the darkest night before dawn, and the street lights in the community are connected to a slight spot of light in the distance. The night wind silently passes through the treetops, and occasionally vehicles pass by, making a distant and blurry sound.
Jin Yan couldn't say anything, but stood there in despair, and said in a hoarse voice: "I love you, Jiang Qin, please don't leave me..."
That was the first time in many years that he clearly expressed love.
Jiang Qin looked at him motionlessly for a long time, and a light flashed through his eyes under the desk lamp:
"...But Jin Yan, I'm afraid of you."
