"Mm," Gu Qingcheng replied.
"I won't disturb you."
"I'm worried about you going to the hospital alone …"
"Then get someone to send me to the hospital for a checkup. After that, send me to the amusement park. What do you think?" Yun Liuli discussed with Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng fell silent for a moment.
"Okay?" Yun Liuli tugged at Gu Qingcheng's sleeve with her small hand, her black and bright eyes especially beautiful.
Gu Qingcheng compromised. "If I don't come out in 20 minutes, I'll get my assistant to accompany you. You don't have to worry about the hospital. I'll tell Bai Jinyu in advance and get him to bring you for a checkup!"
Gu Qingcheng had been the one accompanying her during the checkup. In Gu Qingcheng's heart, Yun Liuli was just a delicate young lady.
He would be nervous for a long time.
Yun Liuli nodded.
As Yun Liuli had expected, Fu Huai 'an and Gu Qingcheng's conversation lasted more than 20 minutes.
Yun Liuli finished the last sip of the fruit juice the manager brought her and wiped her mouth with a tissue. Just as she was about to ask the manager to arrange for someone to send her to the hospital, she saw Gu Qingcheng's assistant walking toward Yun Liuli.
"Miss Liuli, Mr. Gu asked me to send you to the hospital for a checkup, then send you to the amusement park to meet up with Mrs. Fu and the others!" The assistant had already bent over to help Yun Liuli pick up her backpack from the sofa.
Yun Liuli nodded. She wasn't unwilling to leave like she was in the past. She only said, "Sure!"
The assistant was very surprised. She had prepared a lot of words to comfort Yun Liuli, but in the end, she didn't use them.
In the private room.
Gu Qingcheng's countenance didn't look too good. He looked at Fu Huai 'an with his dark eyes, his cigarette-wielding hand pulling over the ashtray and tapping away the cigarette ash. "You're planning to let me fake my death?"
Fu Huai 'an nodded. "Although you'll be changing your name and identity, at least you and Liuli's life in the future will be stable."
Gu Qingcheng didn't utter a sound. He saw Fu Huai 'an push a file folder in front of him to Gu Qingcheng. "This is the escape route that you, Lu Jinnan, and Tang Zheng prepared for me in the past. It's still there, and you can use it now!"
Back when Fu Huai 'an was Mr. Moral, Gu Qingcheng, Lu Jinnan, and Tang Zheng were all worried about Fu Huai' an's future, especially since Fu Huai 'an had Tuan Tuan by his side.
Therefore, this plan was originally prepared for Fu Huai 'an, and it had been in preparation for many years.
However, because Gu Qingcheng and the other two were the ones who came up with this plan, Gu Qingcheng was very clear about the flaws in this plan.
This drawback was also the reason why Fu Huai 'an had rejected the suggestion of faking his death back then.
"Then, what I want to ask is the question you asked us before. Once I fake my death, what will happen to the entire Dark Line business?" Gu Qingcheng said. "Previously, in order to let you escape unscathed, when we came up with this plan, we didn't consider how to deal with the people inside the Dark Line. So, do you have a plan now?"
Before Gu Qingcheng took over, the underground business wasn't as big as it was now.
Now that the entire organization was several times larger than before, what would happen to those people?
If no one took over after Gu Qingcheng faked his death, what if there was internal strife within the organization?
What should they do now that Fu Huai 'an's identity couldn't be hidden anymore? Could they let Fu Huai' an fake his death as well?
Moreover, if the people who took over the organization later didn't abide by the rules set by "Mr. Moral" back then like Gu Qingcheng, getting involved in things like drugs and forcing girls into prostitution, what should they use as the reins to restrain the new people who took over the organization?
"Or should we bring up the matter of disbanding again?" Gu Qingcheng frowned deeply and put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray. "Right now, our organization is several times larger than before. Once we disband, what will happen to the people inside the organization? How will we settle them?"
Seeing Fu Huai 'an pick up the teapot and fill up the teacup in front of him, Gu Qingcheng continued to speak calmly, as if he had asked himself these questions countless times. He said softly, "Let them live like ordinary people! They're all people who have tasted blood before. Is it possible? Including Mu Taotao and the rest, who have been transferred to protect Lin Nuan, they're just role-playing in their daily lives because of orders. If we really let them live such a life, how many of them will be able to do it? It's not that we haven't experimented before, but in the end, they all returned to the organization!"
Gu Qingcheng was quite talkative when it came to serious matters. He picked up his teacup and said, "Those small teams in our organization are all being eyed by others! If they switch to another organization, we'll be nurturing a demonic army for those people! If I were to retreat, the cleanest way would be to bury the entire organization. But Old Fu … we're not people like that!"
Gu Qingcheng had thought about these questions over and over again.
Especially how should he deal with the people in such a huge organization?
Gu Qingcheng had never felt that he was a good person, but he also had a bottom line that he wanted to uphold. Just like Fu Huai 'an back then, there were some things that he didn't want his subordinates to touch.
"Back then …" Gu Qingcheng's throat vibrated slightly. "Yun Shoushan and his wife were from the United Nations. He was my path of retreat, the path of retreat for the entire organization, but both he and his wife died!"
"Old Gu, you've thought so much, but why didn't you spare a thought for Yun Liuli?" Fu Huai 'an asked slowly.
Gu Qingcheng's throat vibrated, and he didn't say a word. The taste of the tea spread on the tip of his tongue, and it was very bitter.
Yun Liuli, Gu Qingcheng thought about Yun Liuli the most. He didn't know when that young lady, who always had a blank look in her eyes and liked to be in a daze, had occupied such an important place in Gu Qingcheng's heart.
In the beginning, it might have been because of pity.
Later … it was because of guilt …
And later …
Towards Yun Liuli, Gu Qingcheng had indescribable feelings for her.
He had once made countless arrangements for Yun Liuli in his heart …
He had even wanted to hold back the throbbing in his heart and protect the young lady in the dark, to protect her for life, to watch her fall in love, get married, and have children …
If he could live to the end of his life, he hoped that under his protection in the dark, the young lady could live a happy, safe, and beautiful life …
But in the end, he still couldn't seem to control his own heart. He wanted to be with this young lady who held the most important place in his heart … like a lover!
"If I have to be so overcautious and indecisive in everything I do, then what else can I do?" Fu Huai 'an smiled at Gu Qingcheng, calm and composed. "Think about Yun Liuli. How brave she was to stake it all in order to be with you!"
