Chapter 363 We Are Best Friends
After he finished speaking, Wu Qingluan also spoke: "If that's the case, as Zhao Shengrong's best friend and partner, if Zhao Shengrong really left any clues, then this clue must be left for you alone, and he must have left it in a way that both of you would know. So, whether this case can be solved in the end depends on you."
Gu Nankai paused for a moment, then quickly nodded: "Indeed, I'll have to trouble everyone to help me in this process, I think..."
He paused, looked at everyone with a heavy gaze, and slowly said: "Now that the case has been reopened, from a certain perspective, I know there will be many unknown dangers, because this case seems to involve my life experience and my lost memory. I don't know whether it is right or wrong to involve you now..."
"What's the big deal, boss? We've all boarded this ship, and the whistle has sounded. There's absolutely no reason for you to throw us into the water and let us swim back by ourselves." Gao Yuan smiled and replied to Gu Nankai nonchalantly, but Gu Nankai's solemn expression did not improve. Instead, he asked everyone to sit down with an even more solemn expression.
Seeing that he was very serious, several people sat down with a gloomy heart, and then heard Gu Nankai say: "I know that you are all my good comrades and brothers who have fought side by side with me, but what I am going to do next is extremely dangerous. I hope you will decide after listening to me."
No one spoke after he finished speaking. To be frank, although they had worked with Gu Nankai for such a long time, they didn't know their boss very well. He seemed to have the same feelings for everyone. Even though he had an extra layer of familiarity and intimacy with them, in the final analysis, for the younger ones like them, Gu Nankai still had too many secrets. It was as if he had wrapped himself in a silk shell. They thought they could easily see what he looked like inside the shell, but in fact, the shell was extremely hard.
And now, it is Gu Nankai himself who wants to break out of the shell and tell them what he has experienced in this shell.
Gu Nankai also sat down , and then he slowly said: "In my mind, my memory before the age of fifteen is blank. I have no impression of what happened to me before I was fifteen. The only thing I know is that my amnesia is not accidental, but someone can do it. Then, the money laundering case designed by Zhao Zhengrong seems to have something to do with my life experience and my blank memory. Perhaps to some extent, I am a danger myself. You and I have a good relationship, and you are even one of the few people I completely trust in this world. I know that once we start investigating, we will be in danger. You are all born by your parents, and I don’t want to follow me into danger, so I hope you can understand the danger behind this case. Even if you don’t participate, you are still my best friends."
Gu Nankai spoke slowly, even his tone did not fluctuate much. In fact, he was indeed worried at the beginning, worried that these children would suffer some unnecessary harm because of him, but what happened afterwards made him involuntarily want to get closer to them, and he did not want to deceive them, so he told them this now.
Perhaps in his heart, he was hoping that someone would stand by his side and tell himself that no matter what happened, there would always be someone by his side, just like Zhao Zhengrong in the past. Even though he was lonely, he still had friends. This seemed to be the only luxury in his heart, but fate was so kind to him, and he did meet a few such people.
"Boss, what are you talking about? The serious crime squad has become an individual. It would be so embarrassing if we quit now. It's no big deal. We are not afraid. Besides, for people in our line of work, danger is nothing. Death is not a big deal. What are you afraid of?"
Gu Nankai originally wanted to say something, but after hearing what Gao Yuan said, he suddenly felt that he was being a little pretentious. Cao Cang and the others also used their actions to stop Gu Nankai from speaking.
Cao Cang stood up and said, "Gao Yuan is right. Our serious crime team is inseparable. We have always shared the burden of any problem. This time is no different. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to quit halfway. It would be embarrassing for others to laugh at us, but it would be unbearable for us."
"That's right. My grandfather has always taught me that one should not be without conscience and should follow one's heart. How can I leave you all alone?"
Shang Lu also spoke with a smile, and then she raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Meng: "What do you think?"
Li Meng was a little confused. After hearing Shang Lu's words, he quickly laughed: "I... I don't have any relatives or friends. You guys are my only relatives. Of course I won't leave!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shang Lu shyly again and lowered his voice and said, "Besides, I still have to protect you. If anything happens to you, how can I explain to Grandpa?"
Shang Lu rolled his eyes at Li Meng, but his eyes were filled with a happy smile that was hard to conceal. Everyone was laughing because of Gu Nankai also looked at Wu Qingluan with such a smile, and then he laughed along with everyone teasing Shang Lu and Li Meng.
It turns out that having friends is such a reassuring thing.
"Then I, Gu Nankai, will be here today and thank you with tea instead of wine."
Gu Nankai finally laughed, but what was different from his usual smile was that this time he laughed without any hesitation. He didn't have the usual just right sense of propriety. Instead, he let go of all his disguises and laughed easily.
"Boss, let's go for it!"
The atmosphere was right at this time. Gao Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands. Gu Nankai was stunned at first, and then he smiled. He quickly stretched out his arm and shook hands with Gao Yuan. The others also came up one after another. The six people held hands together, and they looked at each other with smiles that showed they knew everything. There was no need to say too much. With their tacit understanding, just a look was enough.
Just as this heartfelt confession came, Chen Anning also sent a message that the higher-ups have agreed to let Gu Nankai and his team reinvestigate Zhao Shengrong's case from three years ago. Although Gu Nankai already knew about this, he still . It was because he thought at first that even if this happened, he would not be the team leader. However, Chen Anning told him that the case would be reinvestigated and he, Gu Nankai, would still be the team leader.
"Boss, Meitou is more suitable to be the captain than you. Besides, we are used to your leadership. What are you afraid of?"
Shang Lu and the others talked with a smile, which slowly calmed Gu Nankai's slightly fluctuating heart.
Wu Qingluan had only a faint smile on her face the whole time, and now she spoke : "Okay, since we are going to start the investigation now, we must understand what happened back then. Gu Nankai, you can tell everyone what exactly happened back then, and also about your relationship with Zhao Zhengrong and Zhang Qingqing. We will definitely encounter these things during the investigation, and after we explain it clearly, everyone will have a clear idea in their hearts."
