On that rainy night three years ago, Silent Yan found a man covered in blood at the entrance of the alley.
He called 120, knelt on the ground to press the man's wound, and padded it with 3,000 yuan - that was all he had left at the time. The operating light was on for three hours. He wrote a note and disappeared into the early morning rain.
No names were left.
Three years later, the man found him.
Gu Jin, the president of Gu Group, spent three years searching the whole city just to find a passerby who didn't even leave his name. He gave Silent Yan the ultimate pampering, and also gave Silent Yan airtight control - positioning, accompanying, and a door that could never be locked.
Silent Yan thought this was paranoid repayment until he found an old photo in Gu Jin's study. The boy in the photo looked exactly like him, and on the back was Gu Jin's handwriting: "You're just a substitute, do you deserve my love?"
On the night when his heart died, Silent Yan set a fire and faked his death to escape.
Later, President Gu went crazy. He searched the whole city and dug deep into the ground, just to find a "dead" substitute.
Three years later, at an international art exhibition, Mo Yan made a stunning appearance as a new artist. In the corner of the celebration banquet, the once arrogant man knelt in front of him with red eyes and his voice was hoarse:
"Mo Yan, I'm not looking for a substitute... It's always you who I lose."
