If I still remember you in the next life

Chapter 7

VOL.15
The lights in the operating room were on, red, red again, the color of blood samples.

Some things are like this, even if you hear and see it over and over again, you will never understand it unless you experience it yourself.Before two hours, I had no idea what death meant.And now, I wish I never knew.

Zheng Kaiwen sat on the bench in front of the operating room.

From the moment Zheng Kaiyue was pushed into the operating room, he was completely sealed off, like a small house with the doors and windows closed.Although what you see is intact, your heart is already broken.When I finished the formalities and returned to the door of the operating room, Zheng Kaiwen was still sitting there.He didn't even change his sitting position.If he hadn't blinked occasionally, I would have thought that what was sitting there was just a shell.

"Kevin." I sat gently beside him, took his arm and leaned gently on his shoulder.

He finally let go of his tightly intertwined fingers, and slowly clasped my hand.

"Hyatt will be fine," I said softly.

In fact, I also have a guilty conscience when I say this. With such a fast speed, people are knocked into the air, so what is the chance of survival?

"If there is anything wrong with her, I will never let that bastard go." He buried his face between his hands, his voice hoarse, with a kind of tearing pain: "She is the youngest in the family, and she is the one who hurts the most." It's her. Before my mother died, she was most worried about her..."

Zheng Kaiwen suddenly hugged me tightly, buried his head in my chest, and his shoulders heaved rustlingly.

"I've never been so scared!"

I hugged him tightly, as if I wanted to firmly fix his trembling in my arms: "I will always be by your side, always."

I was exhausted, and almost every cell in my body was praying that Zheng Kaiyue would pass the test smoothly.

I don't know how long it took before I suddenly heard the sound of messy footsteps in the corridor, followed by a menacing voice: "Where is Hyatt? Where is Hyatt?"

As soon as we looked up, we saw a menacing old man walking in front of us with crutches.

"Dad, why are you here?" Zheng Kaiwen stood up.

I hurriedly stood up too, and my mind suddenly buzzed.With such a big battle, who else could it be? Zheng Kaiwen's father——Zheng Zuwang.

"Such a big thing happened, don't you want me to sit at home and read the newspaper and wait for the news." Mr. Zheng angrily tapped the marble floor with his cane.Behind him stood the uncle who kicked me out, and some other bodyguard-like figures I didn't know.I said some because those people came so suddenly that I couldn't count how many people there were.

"Where's Hyatt? Where's the Hyatt people?"

"She's still in the emergency room."

Mr. Zheng stopped looking around, stared at us and said, "Who will tell me what's going on here?"

He stared at me, what can I say, how should I say it, and what stand am I standing on to say it now?Unable to answer these puzzles, I could only look helplessly at Mr. Zheng's cold eyebrows.

"Dad, this matter..."

"You don't need to explain, I know." Mr. Zheng said aggressively, "Who did you see Hyatt with?"

Zheng Kaiwen suddenly fell silent at this moment.

I believe that as long as he says that name, those black clothes behind Mr. Zheng will rush over like a death squad and tear Du Zeshan into pieces.But Zheng Kaiwen was silent, which surprised me. I couldn't figure out why he was silent for a while.

Mr. Zheng was even more angry, knocking on the floor and shouting at the people behind him: "Are you all blind and deaf? A man as big as Kaiyue can't stand it! You...you... "Finding that Zheng Kaiwen didn't intend to answer, Mr. Zheng suddenly raised his crutches and was about to hit him on the head.

"It's none of Kevin's business!" I stretched out my arms to block Zheng Kaiwen behind: "It's just an accident!"

After saying these words, I suddenly admired myself very much. I almost had the heroic courage of Sister Jiang when she died.

But when I raised my eyelids to take a look, I was so frightened that the three souls disappeared and the seven souls disappeared.The cane raised by Mr. Zheng was hanging over my head, it was a close call.Fortunately, the crutch was finally put down slowly, Mr. Zheng looked at me with narrowed eyes, and asked, "Who are you?"

"I……"

Yes, who am I?This question hits the nail on the head.I should have introduced myself first, but now that I've spoken, I don't know what position I stand on.

At this time, should my self-introduction be long or short, simple or redundant?

As a result, Mr. Zheng interrupted my chaotic thoughts with a roar.

Mr. Zheng looked terrified, stepped forward, and said, "No matter who you are, tell me, who is Hyatt with?" His sharp eyes were like Japanese knives for slicing salmon fillets.

Suddenly, the swing door of the operating room creaked, and everyone's attention was instantly shifted to that door.

"Who is Zheng Kaiyue's family?"

"I, I'm his brother." Zheng Kaiwen stepped forward quickly.

However, the doctor's face was cold, without a trace of blood.

I seemed to hear the sound of thunder in mid-air.

"I'm sorry." The doctor said that sentence skillfully and in a low-key manner. "We did our best."

The atmosphere instantly froze.

Mr. Zheng collapsed on the chair, almost like a wall of bricks and tiles, it collapsed in an instant, it really fell apart.

It really was a burst of thunder rolling over the top of my head, even my eyes were blacked out, and I almost passed out.

Zheng Kaiwen took a few steps back in a daze, or rather, he fell backwards at all. If there was no wall behind him, he would definitely fall to the ground.And I don't even have the strength to reach out. I now know what it means to empathize.

"I'm going to kill those bastards!" The old man was trembling all over, panting heavily.

There was a deadly silence all around.

At the same time, a burst of running footsteps became clearer.In the blink of an eye, Zheng Kaiqi appeared at the corner of the corridor. He saw Zheng Kaiwen and me at a glance, ran over without thinking and held Zheng Kaiwen, and asked, "How is Hyatt?"

"Snapped--"

Before Zheng Kaiwen could speak, the old man had already slapped his son's face so crisply and loudly.Presumably Zheng Kaiqi must have lost his hearing in an instant.I think I was nearly deaf when I was beaten by an angry grandpa when I was a child.Imagine the weight of Mr. Zheng's big slap with a sheep's head crutch, and I can imagine how much Zheng Kaiqi is in pain now.

"Bastard! What happened to my sister, you..." Mr. Zheng suddenly tilted his body and fell down hard.Fortunately, this is a hospital. For a while, everyone rushed forward to help, chattering, trying to help the old man to the lounge.The old man held his heart tightly, and after a while, he finally said a few words: "I will definitely...will not let these bastards go!"

My consciousness went blank for a few seconds, what happened?

Is it a car accident?

Or is there a huge and terrible secret hidden behind the car accident that I don't know?

I looked at Zheng Kaiwen intently, there was no expression on his face, like a piece of taut skin, which made my heart feel like a knife.If he's in pain, if he's screaming, if he's mad, I'll feel better.But he just walked to the wall silently, and then punched the wall, even though it was a concrete wall, it still made my back ache.

That night, Kevin and I stayed outside Mr. Zheng's ward.

I know how painful it is for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.When I was in high school, a female classmate passed away due to a sudden illness. When her parents came to school, I watched them grow old instantly.It seems that we were still praising the female classmate's mother for being young and beautiful during the parent meeting last week, but at this moment she has become an old lady.He must have endured unspeakable pain in his heart to become like this.

Mr. Zheng had a weak heart, so when he collapsed like this, he was sent to the emergency intensive care unit.When people are old, they really can't bear a little blow.Doctors and nurses came in and out, and everyone had a look of embarrassment on their faces, as if they were foretelling something.

It's not that we don't understand, but we don't want to understand.

I was sitting beside Zheng Kaiwen, my tense nerves were like thin strands of hair, I was afraid that if I couldn't bear the weight, he would do something crazy.However, when I woke up with a cold war, there was no one around me.It's terrible, I was so serious that I wanted to keep an eye on him, but I didn't even know when I fell asleep.

"Kevin...Kevin..." I stood up hastily, the coat slipped off my shoulders, I didn't even bother to pick it up, and ran all the way along the corridor to the hospital gate.

Zheng Kaiwen seemed to be coming back from the hospital at this time, I almost ran over to him, like pulling a piece of driftwood.

"where did you go?"

"Go take care of some things and buy some food by the way." He smiled at me, exhaustion appeared in his eyes.

We went back to the bench outside the door of the emergency room and sat down. He opened the two bags and said, "I saw you fell asleep, so I went out to buy something to eat. You haven't eaten all day." Then he said: "I called Akun just now and asked Akun to arrange someone to come over and guard. I have to go to the company later, and there are still many things to deal with. Go back and rest early, Cage is still here."

I turned my head and looked at the bench far away in the emergency room, where Zheng Kaiqi was sitting.In just a few hours, Cage seemed to grow from a child to a man at once.He was taciturn, his brows were tightly furrowed, his fingers were interlaced on his lips, his solid and broad back could almost overlap with that of his brother.

"I'm worried about you." I held Kevin's hand tightly.

He was slightly startled, his eyes flickered, he looked at me and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself, and then I will take care of you, Cage, and Dad."

"Yes, so you have to remember that you must not have an accident, and you still have to take care of Cage, your father, and me." I grabbed his arm, shook it vigorously and said, "You must know that in my life I dreamed of marrying a rich man, but it was hard for me to catch you, you can't just leave me like this."

There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, but it still relieved me a lot.Then he nodded to me vowingly, and opened the bag he just brought back, which contained hot white porridge.

"Eat something with me," he said.

Sometimes I think maybe I'm overthinking.

He was born in a wealthy family, with three brothers. He has gone through countless business battles and intrigues. He is far stronger and braver than I imagined.On the contrary, it was me who accidentally stepped into this world of flowers and flowers inside the glass cover from another world in a daze, and the situation continued one after another, which almost made me powerless to resist.Now I actually turn the other way to comfort him, it’s really ridiculous when I think about it, like a mantis’ arm is like a car, and a moth is like a flame, but I’m willing to be a fool to the end.

Yan Xiaonan wanted to say that I overestimated my abilities and always felt that I was the Virgin Mary who loved the world.

Actually, I just love him.

I was holding the porridge and stirring it slowly.To see him.It's only been a day, and his eyes are sunken. Although he is still clean and tidy, he no longer has the vigor of the past, just like Kuafu who is about to be crushed by Mount Tai.Those eyes that are still piercing with spirit, if you look closely, you can find that they are covered with bloodshot eyes.

He is no longer the Zheng Kaiwen when I first met him.

When we first met him, he was full of vigor and lashed out at Fang Qiu, as if he was invincible and domineering over the world.out of reach.But now, he is beside me, with flesh and blood, with tears and pain, he can be angry and laugh, he can play tricks, haggard and old, he has become an ordinary person like me, and I suddenly feel that he might be Vulnerable and fragile.

In his world, everyone had to be indestructible, unable to be beaten to death, unable to fall down from exhaustion. When someone slapped him, his face would not turn red and his heart would jump wildly, but he had to smile and speak softly.

Yan Xiaonan told me before that this is the rule of survival, some people accept it voluntarily, and some people have no choice but to accept it.Rich people are not so easy to marry. You see female stars are glamorous, but you don't know that they are all bloody behind.I don't believe it, so I called her alarmist.Now I know the truth is even crueler.

This is an upgraded version of the animal world, where the strong prey on the weak, intrigues, and the winner is king.

"Why don't you eat?" He suddenly turned to look at me, I hurriedly recovered, smiled and said, "I'm eating." When I looked down and saw a white lunch box beside me, I asked, "Why are there still ?” He said, “It’s for Cage, he doesn’t like porridge, so I bought some rice rolls.” He was talking, but the phone vibrated in his pocket, so he put the porridge bowl on the bench and said He said "you help me give him" and walked aside to answer the phone.

Two nurses on duty walked past me, whispering: "It's too unexpected, I don't know if it's believable." Holding this morning's newspaper in his hand, the other said: "I heard that the big boss of EMK doesn't It's Meng Junshan... No wonder the business is so big, he dares to compete with Huanyu." The companion showed a look of surprise, widened his eyes and said: "The underworld... no way."

When they passed by me, the two glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally.I also raised my head to look at them.They immediately looked away.But I had accidentally caught a glimpse of the headlines on the entertainment page, and hurried to catch up and said, "Wait a minute, can you please let me take a look at this?"

They blushed and looked at each other before handing over the newspaper to me, turning around and leaving in a hurry.

Such a large photo, although it is not clear enough, but the figure's back and outline can be recognized at a glance, isn't it Du Zeshan, arm in arm, walking out of the hotel with a young woman shoulder to shoulder, the woman is still wearing a His suit jacket.After taking several consecutive photos, I saw Du Zeshan opening the door for the woman and sending her into the car. The woman raised her head and smiled... The resolution is too low to see her facial features clearly, but she can see the gleaming pendant on her neck. Who else could it be if it wasn't Zheng Kaiyue.She actually showed such a smile to Du Zeshan... I still can't figure out why she is with Du Zeshan.

The number of tabloids in Hong Kong is simply appalling.I don't know how many newspapers this photo has been sold to. If Mr. Zheng sees it, I'm afraid the doctor in the emergency room can get off work directly after dawn.

I crumpled up the newspaper, threw it into the trash can, and vomited out the knot in my chest.I think I was talking about it with Yan Xiaonan in a gossip magazine a few months ago, but when I saw this explosive headline today, I found it so boring, and I even felt a little disgusted in my heart.

"What's this?" A hand reached out from behind me and picked up the newspaper directly from the trash can.I wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Zheng Kaiqi had already opened the newspaper, glanced at it quickly, and then shook the newspaper in front of my eyes. He stared at me like a teacher and said, "What is this? How could Hyatt do it?" With Du Zeshan?... You already knew about it?"

Maybe it was because my expression was too shocked that he saw through it at a glance.I couldn't explain it, and I didn't know how to explain it to him. With his impulsive personality, I didn't know what to do.

"It's Du Zeshan, right? He did it?"

"I don't know..." I was held tightly by him, almost being lifted up in the air.

I had already walked in front of Cage, he paused for two seconds before raising his head to look at me, then lowered his head and said, "I can't eat."

He stared at it for a long time without blinking, and finally let go of his hand and said, "I see."

What does he know?I was thrown away suddenly by him, and my shoulder hit the wall, which was so painful that I almost fell to the ground. When I stood still, he rushed out of the hospital gate like a wind.I quickly chased after two steps, but I remembered Zheng Kaiwen again, but I couldn't see his shadow at the corner of the corridor.Looking back at Zheng Kaiqi again, the figure was gone.

I grabbed a nurse in a hurry and asked, "Did you see the person who called here just now?"

The nurse looked dazed after being caught by me, pointed to the door and said, "Just ran out in a hurry."

He said it must be Cage and not Kevin, the two brothers look so alike, how can others tell the difference at once.I thanked the nurse and chased out in a hurry. The glass door opened slowly. .With sparks in his eyes, he heard the person ask in surprise, "Miss Liang, where are you going?"

When I looked up, it was Akun.I seemed to see a life-saving Bodhisattva. I pulled him and jumped and said, "Hurry up, Cage ran to find Du Zeshan... I'm really afraid that something will happen to him. Have you seen Kevin?" I was incoherent and didn't know. Did he understand? In the end, he just said, "You can't find the second young master?"

"I even lost the third young master." I really couldn't help but he still couldn't figure out the situation.I'm dying of anxiety.My head was buzzing, as if there were countless flies flying around in a ball, and I finally killed a way out and ordered loudly: "You stay, I'll go find Cage. Give me the car keys."

But when I think about it, Hong Kong drives on the left, and I can't drive that kind of traffic rules at all, so I might as well just take a taxi there.Seeing a taxi turning in, I said "I'll go by myself, take care of Mr. Zheng", and quickly jumped into the red taxi without waiting for Akun's answer.

VOL.16
The car was driving on the road, watching the sky fade into bright colors layer by layer, finally showing a light gray blue.The sky is gloomy, and countless fine raindrops are falling, dancing wildly with the wind.I won't see Cage's car soon, but I know the address of Du Zeshan's company in Hong Kong.

This is the only valuable information I got during the few days I worked for him in Shanghai.

I took the elevator directly to the 23rd floor, the elevator dinged, and I strode out of the elevator.Seeing Zheng Kaiqi rushing in front of me, the lady at the front desk saw that this person was in a wrong position, and immediately stepped forward to stop her and shouted, "Excuse me, sir, who are you looking for?"

Zheng Kaiqi yelled back angrily, "I'm looking for Du Zeshan."

"Excuse me... do you have an appointment?"

"No need." He coldly shouted at the little girl, "Get out of the way!"

"Sir, you can't mess around..."

I also rushed forward to catch Zheng Kaiqi, but at this moment, no matter who appeared in front of Zheng Kaiqi, he would turn a blind eye to him.This couldn't stop him from going to Du Zeshan to settle the score.I know that state of bloodshot head is really going forward bravely and unscrupulously.So when the two security guards came to me, Zheng Kaiqi just said word for word: "Get out of the way, I must see Du Zeshan today."

When several employees passed by, they couldn't help but glance at us.

The security guard was obviously overwhelmed by Cage's aura.

At this moment, Du Zeshan appeared.

He obviously just walked out of the conference room, and there was a person walking beside him, followed by seven or eight people.I didn't know these people, and I didn't care at all.But I still feel that the man next to Du Zeshan has a kind of intimidating power without anger, and as soon as he appeared, he attracted my attention.

It was the first time I saw Du Zeshan behave so low-key and gentle in front of others, it was like a different person.He looked sad, his eyelashes were lowered, and his brows were slightly frowned. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I saw his expression and pace, which was completely gone from the domineering and domineering of the past. He had something on his mind.

Du Zeshan suddenly raised his head and saw us, he was quite surprised.The man next to him also caught a glimpse of us, but when his eyes touched Zheng Kaiqi lightly, a contemptuous smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth.In front of this kind of man, Zheng Kaiqi was as naive and fragile as a child who was robbed of a toy and was furious.

"Su Xiaoquan..." Zheng Kaiqi seemed to be involuntarily blurting out the man's name in a low voice.At the same time, there was a look of surprise on his face, and elements of fear and hatred were indispensable in that surprise.I don't understand why he has such deep feelings for this man, when people have the posture of meeting enemies.

"The third young master of the Zheng family, it's rare." The man named Su Xiaoquan said this casually, and then whispered to Du Zeshan: "I'm leaving first, I'll contact you later." After finishing speaking, he didn't even look at me He took the brigade and marched away.

I was completely overwhelmed by this battle, who are they?Why did it appear in Du Zeshan's office?
I felt the muscles on Cage's arm tense suddenly, and at some point, he had already clenched his fist.

"Why are you here?" Du Zeshan walked in front of me, raised his eyelids to look at Zheng Kaiqi, then turned around and said, "Come to my office to talk."

I was full of grievances, and followed them quickly, complaining in my heart: "I don't want to come either." But Zheng Kaiqi strode ahead of me, and quickly followed Du Zeshan into the office. As soon as he entered, Du Zeshan ordered me coldly: "Close the door." Then the office blinds were drawn.

It seemed that he knew what Zheng Kaiqi was looking for today.That's more to say that this matter has nothing to do with him.

"I really didn't expect you to come so fast, where is Zheng Kaiwen?" He sat on the boss chair, lowered his head to light a cigarette, exhaled lightly, looked at us and said, "Is there a traffic jam on the road? Anyway, he will be there sooner or later. Come, I just didn't expect you to come too."

He looked at me, his dark pupils filled with sadness and pain like water.I don't know what's wrong with this, I can't read this emotion from him, it just confuses myself even more.My heart skipped a beat, small and quick, like a taut string being inadvertently plucked.

"It's you, it's really you!" Zheng Kaiqi quickly rushed up and lifted Du Zeshan who was sitting on the chair, and said fiercely as if grabbing this old clothes: "You are the one who killed Kaiyue!" You threatened my dad, what the hell did you say to them!"

I was so frightened that I frantically tried to separate them: "Cage, Cage, calm down, don't do stupid things." But he couldn't hear it at all, his eyes were bloodshot, like a bearded head. Enraged beast.I think he would really swallow Du Zeshan if he could.

"It's not me." Du Zeshan was unexpectedly calm and indifferent, and he said, "I didn't expect this to happen either."

"Du Zeshan!" Zheng Kaiqi gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

In the face of Cage's anger, Du Zeshan was like a puppet ready to be slaughtered. He had no resistance and no refutation. He just let Cage hold him tightly around his neck, as if he had already prepared Fortunately, he suffocated in his hands.

I stepped forward to stop Zheng Kaiqi.

If Du Zeshan is as arrogant and frivolous as before, I will definitely not stop Zheng Kaiqi from strangling Du Zeshan to death.But now, he was haggard, as if he hadn't slept all night.He looked sad, as if this incident was also a great surprise and blow to him.

It's this melancholy that convinces me he's not a bastard with no conscience at all.

"Cage!" I pulled Zheng Kaiqi away, and he let go of his hand. Du Zeshan took two steps back, leaned on the window frame and swayed, coughing fiercely, and he finally stood still.

The sky outside the window was gray, and the rain stopped and fell again, and stopped again, like the crying of a complaining woman, which could not be completely stopped.The light in the room was very dark, he leaned on the window frame, panted lowly, and finally raised his head to look at me.It was that look, that look - I don't know why - that convinced me he wasn't a bad guy.

"Why stop me, you know what he did!" Zheng Kaiqi suddenly pointed the finger at me, furious: "He killed Kaiyue!"

I shouted loudly: "Zheng Kaiqi, do you want to spend your whole life in prison for murder! Then what about your father, what about your brother? What about your family's business? What about your future?"

"Don't tell me these things, I don't care." Zheng Kaiqi pointed at Du Zeshan coldly, and said, "He is a scum just like Su Xiaoquan, even if he dies, it is not a pity. He can kill Kaiyue, why can't I Kill him to avenge Hyatt?"

"What era do you think this is, sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, love and hatred?!" I grabbed him desperately: "It was just a traffic accident, just an accident."

"Only a ghost would believe that it was really a traffic accident. Only a ghost would believe that the guy who surrendered himself was really just drunk driving. Luo Xin, don't be so naive, okay? He's a gangster!" He tried to push me away, Instead, I stood in front of him with all my strength, and shouted desperately: "He said he didn't do it!"

I suddenly found that I had stood in front of Du Zeshan at some point.Even I was shocked, when did I switch positions, how could I be standing here?Zheng Kaiqi looked at me with puzzlement and confusion in his eyes, and finally he asked me in an unbelievable tone: "You actually believed him?"

Yes, I actually believed him.

I can't believe it myself, that I would believe him.

Just because he said he didn't do it, just because of that look, just because he looked sad?

What the hell am I doing?

Du Zeshan suddenly stood behind me and gave a low laugh.He seemed to be doing it on purpose, and said in a very low voice: "I didn't expect that you would believe me, a scoundrel." I suddenly straightened my back, but without looking back, I said to Cage: "I don't believe anyone Man, I just believe the facts. But I can't watch you go to jail. If Kevin was here, he'd stop you too."

"Second brother won't!" Zheng Kaiqi's expression suddenly changed, from surprise to anger, as if he had been strongly stimulated.He suddenly pushed me away violently, and let me hit the corner of the desk heavily, but he just grabbed Du Zeshan's collar and shouted loudly: "What's the matter, you are coming at me, why are you here?" Against Hyatt!"

"I didn't." Du Zeshan was finally irritated and grabbed Zheng Kaiqi's collar with his backhand.They pushed each other and fell to the ground. Du Zeshan held Zheng Kaiqi's hands tightly, and his glasses fell to the ground and were trampled to pieces. "Haiyue is your sister, and you haven't even been able to protect her well. Now you're asking me instead, shouldn't you be asking yourself?"

"Du Zeshan, don't think that I dare not kill you!" Zheng Kaiqi raised his fist.

"Then you do it. Hyatt was killed by you, it was you!" Du Zeshan's eyes flashed a murderous look, and suddenly he grabbed Zheng Kaiqi's arm with his backhand, stood up, and fell over his shoulder.

Zheng Kaiqi was thrown to the ground by him.

"Ask what your father has done, and what your brother has done." Du Zeshan unhurriedly straightened his tie and shirt and said, "Do you think I would like to be like this today? You forced me to go this far, yes Kevin Cheng!"

"Du Zeshan!" Zheng Kaiqi jumped up suddenly.

I clutched my almost broken waist and leaned against the desk, at a loss for what was happening in front of me.

what is going on actually?Du Zeshan told me a long time ago that the grievances between him and Zheng Kaiwen are not that simple, so what exactly is it?
Suddenly, I saw the light from Cage's hand, cutting off my thoughts like a blade.

I woke up suddenly, and I knew what he was going to do.I was afraid, afraid, and suddenly opened my arms to block Du Zeshan and shouted: "Cage, are you crazy!" But at that time, Cage might really be crazy, he didn't stop talking to me. Jump over.

I just felt that there was darkness in front of me for a moment.

At the same time, Du Zeshan put his hands on my shoulders, turned around and hid me in front of him.

I only felt that the sky above my head had also collapsed, and there was only darkness in front of my eyes. The cologne on his body mixed with the faint smell of tobacco, and rushed into my nostrils.I was dizzy for a second, why is it such a familiar feeling?
With a bang, Du Zeshan rushed forward a few steps.I saw in a trance that the gorgeous and heavy Bogu shelf collapsed at such a moment, like Mount Tai collapsed.At the same time, my vision was also blurred, like a camera that was out of focus, blurred and plunged into darkness.

I feel like a funny monkey who has climbed to the top of the tallest tree in the forest without much effort, only to find that there are trees taller than that tree everywhere.So those who sat on higher places stretched out their hands and patted me lightly, and I fell into the bottomless abyss, and my body was smashed to pieces.

What Yan Xiaonan said was the most reasonable saying: people go to high places, as long as you are not afraid of dying on Mount Everest.

I struggled out of the endless abyss, but what grabbed my hands was a cold and strong hand, and the voice said to me softly: "Miss, don't move around, the wound on your body hasn't been bandaged yet." Woolen cloth."

Wound?

In an instant, it was dawn.All the scenes before coma came like a storm and huge waves.Pain, like a bolt from the blue.What I subconsciously wanted to resist, I struggled desperately to get out.Du Zeshan... Zheng Kaiqi... Bogujia... If I get hurt, what about Du Zeshan?What about Zheng Kaiqi?
I grabbed the nurse's cold hand with my backhand and asked, "Miss Nurse, where is the person who came in with me?"

"Which one are you talking about?" She glanced outside the curtain and said, "Is it the one waiting outside?"

I lifted the blanket on my body, and staggered out of the curtain regardless of the nurse's strong efforts to stop me.

Zheng Kaiwen was sitting on the bench, when he saw me rushing out from the curtain, he stood up and hugged me tightly.I didn't expect him to have such great strength that he almost broke my waist.Just like at that time, in the jewelry factory, Du Zeshan hugged me and wanted to break me in the middle.

My nerves tensed suddenly, I grabbed Zheng Kaiwen, and said in a very low voice, "What's wrong with Du Zeshan?"

"He's still in the emergency room."

"Where is Cage?" I held him tightly and took a few deep breaths, as if I was afraid that I would suddenly collapse from exhaustion.

"He's at the police station." Zheng Kaiwen suddenly hugged me tightly, and I realized that I was about to collapse, and immediately said, "Don't worry, he'll be fine. I've sent the lawyer over."

"I'm sorry... I should have found you, but I couldn't find you." I hugged him tightly.

"Akun told me everything." He said slowly.

"Excuse me, are you relatives of Du Zeshan?" The doctor suddenly appeared from behind.These white coats that walk silently made my heart jump suddenly in fright, and I said with my tongue tied: "... What's wrong?" The doctor handed a white form in front of me: "We need to conduct medical examination on him. Surgery, he's not doing well."

"Why not?"

"He should have undergone a major operation before, so..." The doctor looked at me suspiciously, then suddenly stopped and asked me, "Are you his relatives?"

"I……"

"The operation is very dangerous and requires the signature of the family members. Can you represent it?"

I looked at Zheng Kaiwen, and then he nodded imperceptibly, and was about to take the form and pen from the doctor, but suddenly another hand stretched out from our side, and took the form without hesitation, He wrote down a string of characters with that pen, handed it to the doctor and said, "Please perform the operation immediately."

The voice is not high or sullen or buoyant, but it sounds like an order.

I turned around in astonishment, and saw Su Xiaoquan standing behind me.

He was still dressed in black, his slender lips were pursed into a line, and his narrow red phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed to look at me. For about a few seconds, his eyes didn't blink for a moment, as if he wanted to see through me.Then he turned and walked to the bench by the door of the operating room and sat down.There are always a few black shadows following behind him, and these people are far more intimidating than ordinary bodyguards, just like legendary ninjas.

I suddenly thought of what Zheng Kaiqi said pointing to Du Zeshan, "He is a gangster".

Zheng Kaiwen suddenly stepped forward and walked in front of Su Xiaoquan.

Of course, before he reached Su Xiaoquan, he was already stopped by Su Xiaoquan's subordinates.

"Third brother, I have something to tell you."

I could see that Kevin was trying his best to suppress the anxiety and anger in his heart.

However, Su Xiaoquan just fiddled with the silver lighter in his hand, not even twitching his eyelashes.In the empty and lonely corridor, there was a constant ding, and another... It was like a death-threatening bell.Then he slowly turned his face to look at Zheng Kaiwen, very strangely, he also looked at me at the same time, and then still stared at the lighter in his hand indifferently, his voice was as cold as the arctic air.

"I know what you're going to say to me, but I'm not in the mood right now, and I don't want to see you."

The air in the hospital was bleak and frightening with an air of despair.

"Third brother..."

"Third brother said he didn't want to see you."

A big man in black stopped Zheng Kaiwen, blocking our view like a wall, we couldn't see Su Xiaoquan, but we could still hear the sound of the lighter, ding, ding...

I walked over and slowly took Zheng Kaiwen's hand.

His palms were icy cold, and only then did I know that he was also afraid, afraid of this man.

"Let's go first." I whispered.

"Wait a minute." In the empty corridor, Su Xiaoquan's voice was like an atomic bomb, echoing with terrifying radiation.Both Kevin and I stopped involuntarily and turned uncontrollably to look at him.

With a snap, very crisp, he snapped on the lighter forcefully.

He held the lighter tightly, and said word by word: "Remember, if there is anything wrong with him." He stopped, looked at Kevin and me very slowly, and then said: "This man Zheng Kaiqi , will no longer exist.”

I took a deep breath, only to feel that the air was extremely cold, like a powerful airflow, poured straight into my lungs.

For the first time in my life, I found that I was so eager for Du Zeshan to continue to live, to live forever.

We were silent all the way.

There are neon lights flashing outside the window, Hong Kong is a city that never sleeps, and people still linger in Lan Kwai Fong after three o'clock in the middle of the night.The road full of rainwater is like a huge silver plate, and the neon lights on the ground are shattered and turned into wreaths on the silver plate.There is a lot of traffic and voices, and we seem to have been isolated from the outside world.

My hair was blown up by the wind, making it difficult for me to see what was in front of me.

There are two messages on the phone, both from Yan Xiaonan.The first one said that she is currently filming a commercial in Hong Kong, if I don't rush to see her within 24 hours, she will kill me, an ungrateful and ungrateful person who values ​​sex and despises friends. The second message after 24 hours is still the same, but with more violent wording.I don't know how many 24-hour time limit Yan Xiaonan still has, I just know that some things happened in these two 24 hours that I will never forget.

It was like a dream.

This feeling came suddenly when Jiang Yang finally left me. I seemed to have fallen into the boundless ocean, and I couldn't even catch a piece of driftwood.I have always foolishly believed that Jiang Yang would come back to me, and I have always believed in it, and I was finally tortured to despair by this belief.

I felt that I thought I would stop crying, and gradually, even my heart rate became slower.

At that time, I thought I would forget love from now on, but, I met Zheng Kaiwen.

I already understand that time cannot be turned back, and I finally understand that Jiang Yang will never come back to me.Even if the clock can be turned back, it still cannot prevent time from slipping away.

Therefore, we have no choice but to face it.

VOL.17
When I came out of the bathroom, Zheng Kaiwen was sitting on the sofa in the living room, smoking quietly.

He looked a little strange, sitting there so quietly, with his elbows on his knees, the faint smoke swirling in his breath.

I took two steps closer before I realized he was watching the rerun of the nightly news on TV.

The female anchor was radiant, and her tone was steady and clear: "...Mr. Zheng Zuwang, chairman of Huanyu International, was admitted to the hospital yesterday due to a sudden illness. Yesterday afternoon, Huanyu Group announced that it had withdrawn from the project bidding for the No. [-] plot. Affected by it, yesterday At the close, the stock of Huanyu International has dropped by five percentage points in a row... EMK Group, which has repeatedly expressed its willingness to acquire Huanyu International at a high price, has sent an invitation to Huanyu Group again..."

The female anchor's voice suddenly became harsh, and each word was like a thin needle, piercing my eardrum.I gradually couldn’t hear the clear voice, and I could only see the small cherry mouth opening and closing very frequently, and the orange circular news subtitles scrolled under the screen: "...A plane of Air France crashed over the Mediterranean Sea yesterday morning ...Affected by the international financial crisis, many small and medium-sized enterprises are on the verge of bankruptcy..."

It turns out that so many things happen on the earth every day.

When I was in my economics research class, the Air France plane crashed over the Mediterranean Sea, I climbed into bed and went to bed, holding the new issue of ELLE fashion magazine in my hand, Bin Laden's plane crashed into the Pentagon, and I was in the marriage registry The door is full of hope, but Jiang Yang has already left me...

I stood there looking at Zheng Kaiwen, for a few seconds, we were all still.The drops of water fell on my ears along my hair, and then slowly flowed into my neck, like a cold earthworm, crawling into my body bit by bit.But I don't know why the person in front of me is suddenly a little strange, as if he walked out of the TV.

Why did we finally come together, and why?Thinking back carefully, I can't remember how I fell in love with Zheng Kaiwen.Our lives are like stickers that are forcibly pasted on a notebook with self-adhesive, always a little out of tune and uncoordinated.

He is in such pain now, I am helpless, I don't even know how to say a word of comfort.Words seem so feeble at this time, I can't give him what he needs.I can't raise tens of millions for him overnight, I can't make the Hong Kong stock market suddenly rise and fall with a single sentence, and I can't even let Cage return to him without incident.

At four o'clock in the morning, there was no sunlight outside the window, and there was no sound around, only the female anchor was left there to read the press release noisyly.

Zheng Kaiwen lowered his head slowly, and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.He pressed the cigarette butt for a long time, and the shredded tobacco was squeezed out from the white rolling paper.

Suddenly, I heard a loud bang.

Zheng Kaiwen grabbed the deadly crystal ashtray and threw it vigorously, hitting the half-sized LCD TV on the opposite wall.With a violent boast, a hole was broken in the pitch-black screen, and countless tiny gaps were cracked.The ashtray was also shattered all over the floor, some in whole pieces and some in small pieces, mixed in the fragments of the black LCD screen, like countless eyes shining.

I shuddered. I had never seen him explode like this.

Zheng Kaiwen just buried his head in his hands and didn't move for a long time.

I thought he had been petrified, but he suddenly looked up at me and said, "Liang Luoxin, let's go."

I can't see my shadow in his pupils, his eyes are not as clear as before, but the voice is like a sharp knife, slowly piercing my heart inch by inch.

"What did you say..." I looked at him and opened my eyes unconsciously.

I thought I heard it wrong. The voice seemed to come from a very far away place, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, it must have been conveyed wrongly.In an instant, I seemed to return to that day three years ago, on a sunny afternoon, I stood in front of the gate of the marriage registration office waiting for my happiness, but in the end it was Jiang Yang who was waiting on the phone He said coldly: "Liang Luoxin, let's break up." With no room for maneuver, he hung up the phone, and the call lasted only two seconds.

It turned out that it only took a few seconds to say the word breakup.

However, I love him with all my strength, abandoning my dignity, and almost exhausted my whole life.

forever...

In an instant, all light disappeared.

"Zheng Kaiwen..." I almost rushed over, grabbed him and asked, "What did you say?"

He coldly withdrew the hand that was held by me, and slowly took out a cigarette in his mouth. The lighter flashed a little blue flame in his hand, and it went out in a blink of an eye.

The living room is only left with the afterglow of the city, and the cigarette butt in his hand is bright and dark in the breath.

"Liang Luoxin, let's go." His breathing was so heavy: "We'll stop here."

"What did you say?" I looked at the faint white smoke rings in the air, the faint scent of cigars, and his breath that turned into mist.I turned his face, looked at him firmly and said, "Zheng Kaiwen, say it again, say it again!" He slowly took my hand and took it away from his face bit by bit. .

Then he suddenly bent his mouth and turned into a stranger I never knew.

"Liang Luoxin, don't be stupid, I never loved you."

I forgot how long, neither of us made a sound.

It seems that each other has forgotten to breathe, we look at each other so closely, it seems that we can't see each other clearly.

The long silence was like a pair of invisible hands strangling my throat.I felt that it was difficult to breathe, and those words seemed to be backlogged out of my body forcefully, exploding in confusion: "Zheng Kaiwen, you lied to me!"

The long silence was like a fragile parallel line, finally torn apart by my voice.

"I didn't lie to you." He extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, lit another cigarette, and said slowly: "Although I have been lying to you before, I will never lie to you again." I won't lie to you anymore." He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Because I don't need to lie to you anymore."

I could hardly believe that I would be so hysterical, but I did yell tearfully: "You lied to me, you must have lied to me!"

He frowned and said, "Liang Luoxin, why don't you think about why I love you? What is there about you that deserves my love?"

I was left speechless.

Yes, what is there in me that deserves his love?
"Because I was just using you from beginning to end, and I never loved you at all."

He stood up and dropped me like a bathrobe beside the sofa at his feet.

"To put it bluntly, what I want to use is not you, but Meng Jiangyang's concern for you, and Meng Junshan's concern for Meng Jiangyang. This is a gamble, either you die or I live." He stopped, but then said: " But in the end, I lost. Liang Luoxin, I overestimated you by mistake, it turns out that you really have no use value at all."

He stood there, the muddy lights of the whole city poured in from the window, outlining his silhouette, and the faint smoke surrounded him, like a phantom in the clouds, so unreal.It turns out that I have always loved such an unreal person, and it turns out that all this is a dream.

what happened?

What exactly is going on?

I asked vaguely: "What are you talking about... who is Meng Jiangyang, who is Meng Jiangyang?"

"Meng Jiangyang..." Zheng Kaiwen stood less than ten steps away from me, but it felt like thousands of mountains and rivers were separated. He let out a long breath and said, "He is my natural enemy."

In the world, do such creatures as natural enemies really exist?

"From a very young age, I knew that our Zheng family and the Meng family were incompatible." He continued: "My father is a legitimate businessman on the surface, but in fact he is doing a very dishonorable business. They use business Laundering black money for some people, laundering stolen goods. My father relied on this to get his family business today, but... Later, when his father gained a foothold and had us, he didn’t want to do this anymore. He wanted to get away, But he found that he was too deep into the water and couldn't extricate himself. There was always a force firmly holding him back." He looked at me and said, "That is Meng Junshan."

His narration is like a stream, so distant and long.

"I don't know who Meng Junshan is, and I've never met him. But I know that Meng Junshan is the only king in this so-called money empire, and no one can keep his head down in front of him. When he sneezes, the stock market It also rises and falls, he moves his fingers, and tomorrow's wind will turn - he is such a terrible person. But my father still tried his best to get rid of his control."

"He once threatened my father with the safety of our three brothers and sisters, so my father sent Hyatt and Cage abroad early. But he still did not escape the control of Meng Junshan. Hyatt was kidnapped repeatedly when he was very young .My mother... was shot and killed by mistake when Hyatt was kidnapped that time."

He took a drag on the cigarette and let it out slowly.

"For revenge, my father spent 15 years carefully arranging a revenge. But in the end, that accident killed Meng Junshan's only nephew. It is also because of this that our two families have formed an impossible feud .” He turned around, looked at me and said, “You don’t know Meng Junshan, but you know his nephew.”

He put out the cigarette butt.

"His name is Meng Jiangyang, that is, your ex-boyfriend, Jiang Yang."

I just felt the name explode in my ears, blasting my thoughts into pieces, one by one, which could never be put back together again.I couldn't think, I just felt a chill run down my spine.I felt that the world was going away from me, and those last few words he said finally pushed me down the abyss, beyond redemption.

Meng Jiangyang...Meng Jiangyang...

That must not be the Jiang Yang I know and love. The Jiang Yang I love is just an orphan with no parents, relatives, friends or buddies. He only has me.

just me.

So, who is Meng Jiangyang?

I took two steps back with weak feet, and murmured, shaking my head: "You are wrong, you must have made a mistake, the man I recognize is Jiang Yang, not Meng Jiangyang. The Meng Jiangyang you mentioned, Isn't he already dead? You said he died in an accident."

"He is not dead, and I only found out not long ago." He looked at me and said, "Although Meng Junshan has many children, he has no son. Meng Jiangyang is his only nephew. After Meng Jiangyang's parents passed away, he kept Meng Jiangyang Treat him as his own son. In order to prevent revenge from his enemies, he sent him to a distant city early, let him hide his name and live a life of an ordinary person, and because of this, you who had no intersection in life before met. "

"You lie—!" I shouted hoarsely: "The one who is against you is Du Zeshan, and the one who is against you is Du Zeshan. It is not my Jiang Yang at all, absolutely not! He is just an ordinary student, he It's just that his temper is a little weird, but he is definitely not a gangster."

"Why don't you understand?" He smiled lightly, and then said, "There is no such person as Du Zeshan in the world."

I looked at him in awe, and heard him tell the news of the earth-shattering: "Du Zeshan is Meng Jiangyang."

The neon lights outside the window are spinning, the world is turned upside down, and everything is distorted.Everything in my life was broken, distorted, deformed, and unreal in these few short sentences.

"Impossible, it's absolutely impossible."

"Why is it impossible?" He asked me aggressively, "If Du Zeshan wasn't Meng Jiangyang, how could Su Xiaoquan take his life and death so seriously? If he wasn't Meng Jiangyang, how could he be clear about your past? If he wasn't Meng Jiangyang, How could he care about you so much, how could he protect you at all costs. If he wasn't Meng Jiangyang, why would he try to snatch you away from me as soon as he appeared? If he wasn't Meng Jiangyang, why would he hate me so much... He did All of this is because he knew from the beginning that I was using you."

I grabbed Zheng Kaiwen tightly and said loudly: "You said that Meng Jiangyang is dead, he died in an accident."

"You should ask him about this matter. I don't know the ins and outs of the matter." Zheng Kaiwen exhaled slowly, and gradually calmed down: "More than a year ago, I suddenly received news that there was a man named Du Zeshan. Appeared in Shanghai and robbed me of the bidding rights for No. [-] on the Bund. I was curious, but also terrified. I vaguely felt that this person should be related to Meng Junshan, so I rushed to Shanghai myself to find out."

"But after I arrived in Shanghai, I couldn't find Du Zeshan. He was like air, leaving no trace. I stayed in Shanghai for a week, and when I was about to come back, you appeared " He smiled and said: "You are really the kind of woman who can't be found at all when you are thrown in the crowd. The worst third-rate starlets around me are more dazzling than you. But I found that every time you appear Sometimes, there will be a few strange guys around me watching. So I specially asked Akun to check you, so I know that you are Meng Jiangyang's girlfriend."

"Later you were kidnapped because of Hyatt, and I suddenly had this idea: as long as you stay with me, I can use you to blackmail Meng Junshan. He cares about everyone related to Meng Jiangyang, and he even Even the whole house where Meng Jiangyang lived was bought. You must be no exception. So I kept you by my side and brought you to Hong Kong... Everything I said and did was just to use you to contain Meng Junshan."

He said to me again: "So Liang Luoxin, I never loved you at all."

I don't know when, tears had already covered my cheeks like busy ants, and I shouted loudly: "Then why did you go to Shanghai to find me? Why did you agree to marry me?"

"Do you remember? Dad suddenly stopped me from participating in the bidding. It was because Meng Junshan gave him an ultimatum. I was very unwilling. I went to Shanghai to make a last effort, not for you. As a result At that time, the Du Zeshan I had been looking for appeared."

"I found that he cares about everything about you. He made me feel that you are really a good bargaining chip. He also gradually made me feel that he should have some kind of connection with you. I am looking for someone again. I checked him, but nothing was found. He was like a man made up out of thin air... So I thought, maybe, just maybe, he is Meng Jiangyang."

"Yesterday, when I went to the police station to meet Cage, he told me that Du Zeshan was crushed by the bogu frame to protect you. He could actually lose his life just to protect you." He smiled and said: "Du Zeshan fell from the sky. He has something to do with Meng Junshan. He knows you very well. He fights against me everywhere. He loves you so much... Who else can he be?"

His kind of smile is very gentle, but very sad.

"So, Liang Luoxin, now you understand that I'm just a liar from the beginning to the end."

"Then why don't you keep lying to me?"

"There is no need for that. This game is too dangerous and the opponent is too strong. I have already lost Hyatt, and I can't lose my father and lose Cage. Moreover, I don't need to lie to you anymore, because I know Meng Junshan will never To give up on us because of you is because I miscalculated all of this."

His face was hidden in the shadows, I couldn't see his expression, his voice was erratic.

"You can hate me, anyway, I've never been a good person."

With a snap, I raised my hand and hit him hard in the face.

My hand touched his cheek, which was cold and moist.But I have already lost the ability to perceive and think. After that slap, the palm of my hand was hot, as if I was holding a fireball in my hand.I clenched my fists, and my nails were deeply embedded in the flesh.

"Why didn't you tell me until now? Don't you know that I've really fallen in love with you." My voice was crying hoarsely, weakly: "When I fell in love with you, I didn't know that you were a good person Still a bad guy. I don't care if I end up in heaven or hell, but I love you."

My tears have flowed down my face line by line unconsciously, and dripped on the carpet, making a patter sound.

Suddenly it began to rain outside the window, and it fell harder and harder, hitting the window glass with a crackling sound.Looking out from the window, the surroundings are all gray, and I can't see anything clearly.

I breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and rushed out the door, and the door slammed shut behind me.

I pressed the elevator button desperately, and suddenly heard a loud noise from the room.Everything shattered with that sound, everything has disappeared, like soap bubbles in the air, unable to withstand such a light touch.It turns out that no matter how beautiful the colorful splendor is, it is just an illusion.

It was raining really hard, and the big raindrops broke my tears.

There is no morning light, it is already dawn.

The shirt and trousers were soaked with water, as thin as a layer of paper stuck to my body, the slippers were also soaked, and my feet were icy cold.I know that when I wake up from the dream, Cinderella's glass slipper is broken, everything will become unreal, and the carriage will turn back into a pumpkin.I gave up everything I had for a false person, and now I have lost this person, so everything I have is gone.

Everything is back to the original point.

It was Jiang Yang who put this full stop.

Meng Jiangyang.

I can't accept it all happening so fast, so suddenly, so violently.

What should I do?

The raindrops hurt me very much. I walked into the telephone booth by the side of the road, and slowly stroked the telephone with my pale and red fingers.I have no money with me, not a penny.Funny, I used to be a professional woman, but now I'm really broke and homeless.

In this city, I have completely become a homeless person, and I am really the only one left.

Next to the telephone was a coin, perhaps accidentally dropped there by someone while calling.It's just a coin, and I might not even pick it up when it falls on the ground, but at this time it is like a spaceship leading to the real world for me.

I held the cold coin and tremblingly threw it into the coin slot of the phone.

I pressed a number, and the voice on the other end of the phone responded coldly: "Sorry, the number you dialed is an empty number..."

Like every call three years ago.

I gripped the receiver tightly, trembling all over.

I actually still remember that number, even at this time, I still remember that number, only that number.I have called countless times, been rejected countless times, and disappointed countless times. I know Jiang Yang will not come back...but when I was desperate and at a loss, I still only remembered his number.

The coin jumped out of the coin slot and was stuffed back by me. I dialed the number again and again, pressing down the numbers one by one. The sound was like an indifferent but skilled boxer knocking me down again and again. Finally, I couldn't stand up anymore.I slumped down holding the receiver, my back slid off the cold glass wall, and I felt a burning pain.

It is raining heavily outside the pavilion, maybe a typhoon is coming, maybe I will be taken to another corner of the world by this gust of wind.

So, Jiang Yang, will you come back to claim me?
