Chapter 95

He smiled and stood up. "If I could do it again, I think I would confess my feelings to her..."

A helicopter hovered in the sky, boats sped across the water, and vehicles surrounded the park. On the brightly lit riverbank, the standing man suddenly drew a gun and aimed it at the bespectacled man beside him. Witnessing this, the bespectacled man simultaneously stood up, raised his hands, and waved them at the people around him, shouting, "Don't shoot!"

Gunshots rang out in quick succession, and blood blossomed on his back. After a long moment, he turned around, gazed at the body lying in a pool of blood, and numbly removed his glasses. He wiped them a few times before putting them back on, then picked up the gun from the corpse's hand.

"I told you not to shoot... It wasn't loaded..."

Several police officers quickly ran up to him, panting. "Mr. Gu, are you alright?" Of course, he was fine.

With Tang Mingyuan dead, he, Gu Xilai, was now the helmsman of Xiangjiang Group. This was why the police were so concerned about him.

"May I take charge of Mingyuan's body for burial?"

Twelve hours later, he arrived home.

He used *shichen* for his calculations because he was not from this world; in his mind, he employed a different method of timekeeping.

Thirty-six years ago, a man named Gu Yanzhen reincarnated into this world. He then met Tang Mingyuan, along with Qingyi, Akang, Ruoping, and others. Later, he followed Tang Mingyuan to build a vast financial empire. And even later... came the present situation, where he betrayed Tang Mingyuan.

Tang Mingyuan's body had been meticulously prepared by the best experts; bullet wounds and other marks were gone, and his face even held a faint smile.

But he was dead.

Tang Mingyuan had never been wary of him, treating him as his best friend.

Indeed, why betray him?

This elder brother was magnanimous, loyal, and responsible. He had helped him countless times since childhood. Even when he caused a multi-billion dollar financial loophole this time, Tang Mingyuan had not blamed him.

"Three circles left, three circles right..."

The tune from his childhood nightmare resonated again. Gu Yanzhen could never forget the scene he witnessed before his death.

Ning Liheng!

As a child, the first time he saw Tang Mingyuan, he was so scared he couldn't move. Although the two men had no physical resemblance, the terrifying shadow in his heart overlapped with Tang Mingyuan.

Surpass him, dominate him, or conquer him!

From a young age, Gu Yanzhen was known for his extraordinary abilities. After reincarnating into this world, there was also an age difference.

But after graduating from college, he never surpassed Tang Mingyuan, not even once.

He never married, devoting all his energy to competing with Tang Mingyuan. But in the end, he had to admit that true geniuses existed in this world. No matter how hard he tried, Tang Mingyuan always surpassed him.

He lit a cigarette, remembering their recent conversation.

"How is Ruoping?"

"She has two children and is doing quite well," the bespectacled man said as he sat down.

"Ah... you told me that, I almost forgot..." He thought for a moment, then smiled. "She was the prettiest among the girls. I remember I always had a crush on her but never dared to confess."

The man beside him was silent for a moment, then also took out a lighter and lit a cigarette. "I knew you liked her. I confessed to her before you did, but she rejected me... She said she liked you."

"You never told me about this..."

Indeed, he couldn't even win a woman against him, just like that bitch Nie Yunzhu!

Right, how did Ruoping reject him? He had just lied to Tang Mingyuan.

"Gu Xilai, you're an excellent man, but you don't really like me. What you actually like is... or rather, Xilai, you should find a woman, otherwise, sooner or later, you'll end up being gay."

He lowered his head, and tears fell onto the dead man's face.

He had just said: "If I could do it again, I think I would confess my feelings to her..."

What about himself? From their initial acquaintance, to their daily interactions, and their mutual understanding and cooperation, he had fallen in love with him long ago.

"Mingyuan, I love you, don't leave me..."

Finally, he could no longer control his emotions and collapsed onto Tang Mingyuan's body.
