Seizing Dreams [B2]

Chapter 148.2

Sure enough, Huang Ting was stunned for a short moment, but immediately resumed his calm. He said, "Yu Hao, can you follow the script? I haven't finished laying out the groundwork. Are you sure you want to dive right to the main point like this?"

"Let's just follow each other." Yu Hao said with a smile, "Isn't it better to get straight to the point? What about this, let's play a game ba?"

Huang Ting looked at Yu Hao. Yu Hao thought about it for a bit, then said, "I'll answer one of your questions, then you'll answer one of my questions."

Huang Ting, "This 'guest acting as the host ' move of yours is really amazing. Yu Hao, you have to understand, I've always regarded you guys as friends, as my younger brothers, from beginning to end..."

"Don't utter such empty words." Yu Hao said, "Do you want to play or not, Huang Ting Ge?"

Huang Ting put down his chopsticks. He fell silent for a short moment, then rolled his sleeves up and did a finger guessing gesture. Yu Hao was baffled. Huang Ting took the food outside for now since they were more or less done with their meal anyway.

"Come." Huang Ting lifted the quilt and said, "In that case, let's just chat under the quilt for a bit ba?"

Yu Hao, "Huang Ting Ge, I don't think you've been in a rather unusual state of mind recently."

"That's what everybody says." Huang Ting answered, then patted the pillow at the side again.

Yu Hao's heart thumped. It couldn't be that Huang Ting already knew how to use the Golden Crow Wheel ba? He didn't reject him again and lay on the bed. Huang Ting gave him a bolster to lean on, covered them with the quilt, and said, "After having one's fill, nothing is better than just lying down..."

Yu Hao, "......"

After that, Huang Ting got a remote control from somewhere and turned off the lights. The room turned pitch dark. He pressed down on the remote control, and a blue light shone from the opposite wall.

Yu Hao, "Damn you...and I was wondering what you wanted to do!"

"What do you think?" Huang Ting looked at Yu Hao, but Yu Hao was staring at the opposite wall. Huang Ting's room was truly too small. The projection was projected onto the wall opposite the bed, and Huang Ting might usually use such a projection to watch movies as a form of entertainment.

"It shouldn't be too bad to solve the problem of being single by watching movies like this ba." Yu Hao said.

"Immerse yourself in the experience."

Huang Ting and Ou Qihang just so happened to be at two ends of a spectrum; Ou Qihang could kill the chat at any time, while Huang Ting can continue the conversation no matter what the topic was.

Huang Ting pressed a button, and a gigantic Golden Crow Wheel instantly appeared in the projection that occupied the entire wall.

Yu Hao, "!!!"

The Golden Crow Wheel was extremely bright, and its edges were similar to that of solar prominences as it emitted flames and light. Yu Hao even had a sort of misperception that he had seen the real Golden Crow Wheel in reality!

Huang Ting said, "Very surprised?"

"Indeed." Yu Hao answered. "I never expected it at all."

"For this to appear in my hands." Huang Ting continued.

Yu Hao, "No, I never expected that you guys would actually play this sort of GIF in a PPT. Won't it lag a lot when you open it?"

Huang Ting, "......"

Yu Hao, "Continue going through the slides ah, why do you have such a strange expression on your face?"

Yu Hao knew the trick to interacting with Huang Ting, which was to not let him lead you by the nose. You definitely couldn't make moves according to common sense, otherwise he would lead you far away.

Huang Ting pressed the remote control again, and Yu Hao snatched it in a flash. Huang Ting wanted to snatch it back, but Yu Hao began pressing it by himself. Huang Ting coughed harshly a few times and gave up on seizing the remote control back. Yu Hao flipped to the next slide, and the second slide was something he had seen before — the analysis report done at STA when Chen Yekai had handed it over to them.

Yu Hao frowned. Huang Ting said, "When did we start targeting you guys?"

Yu Hao muttered, "Ever since Ou Qihang lost his memory."

"No." Huang Ting answered, "Even earlier. It was when Nicky decided to give up everything and go to Argentina to end his life."

Yu Hao fell silent. He pressed the remote control and continued. Immediately afterwards, the second page of a research report appeared, and everything was written in English. When Yu Hao saw that page, he instantly became nervous, but he just glanced at it calmly and feigned an expression like he couldn't really understand it, then went onto the next slide. The next slide was a photo of him, Chen Yekai and Zhou Sheng eating breakfast at a hotel. From the angle at which the photo was taken, he seemed to have been in the hotel's garden.

Yu Hao, "You were really well-hidden."

"So were you guys." Huang Ting extended a hand. Yu Hao gave in and returned the remote control to him.

"It shouldn't be difficult for reporters such as yourself to understand," Huang Ting said, "In order to dig out the truth, you need to have the willpower to persevere, in addition to a little bit of luck. Yekai suffered from quite severe psychological problems during that period...I suggested for him to find a counsellor, but then the situation just eventually got worse and worse."

"You knew that he wanted to go to Argentina to commit suicide," Yu Hao said, "Didn't you think of stopping him?"

"Of course I did." Huang Ting said, "Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about me? It's just that it's not easy for criminal detectives to apply for an Argentinian visa. You know, I had already bought my ticket, but before I left, I realized that he had returned again. After following him the whole way, I found out that the three of you got a room at this hotel." After he spoke, Huang Ting suddenly laughed. He continued, "Can you explain why?"

"Don't you already know everything?" Yu Hao turned his head sideways to look at Huang Ting. Both of them had a quilt covering them as they lay in bed.

"Yu Hao." Huang Ting said, "I'm standing on your side. It may not be easy to establish this trust, but when we met for the first time, I had given you this trust without reservation."

Yu Hao remembered what Huang Ting had said to Chen Yekai through WeChat on the premise of insufficient evidence in the case when he was wronged by Shi Liang for stealing a watch.

"Yes, I was very touched." Yu Hao said, "At that time, there weren't a lot of people who believed in me."

"I looked for you and not for Zhou Sheng to talk about this precisely because of this." Huang Ting said calmly, "Yekai, Zhou Sheng, you, Xiao Ou, you're the only one amongst you guys who may be willing to tell me the truth. Although I've already put together a rough idea, I hope that I can hear about everything that had happened from you."
