Chapter 158: Hong Lie's Confidence
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind the waterfall-like dense vine and grabbed Xiao Nuan's arm: "Miss Xiao, please come with me." ”
Xiao Nuan was so frightened that she almost screamed.
She turned her head sideways and saw a man dressed in the civilian costume of the Qingbai Kingdom coming out from behind the vine, and immediately lowered her voice vigilantly: "Who are you?"
The man didn't look at Xiao Nuan, only dragged her by the arm and dragged her forward: "Don't worry, I'm not in a group with them, I'm here to save you." Miss Xiao Nuan. ”
He called her name incredibly clearly.
Xiao Nuan gritted his teeth, and died horizontally and vertically, it was better to fight.
She no longer hesitated, and followed the man to run briskly through the dense forest.
The man was very familiar with the terrain here, and pulled Xiao Nuan to turn left and right in the dense forest.
Xiao Nuan felt all kinds of mottled shadows retreating quickly on his side, and gradually only the whirring wind was left in his ears, and there was no more footsteps of the pursuers.
"Step over. The man suddenly said in a low voice.
Xiao Nuan didn't have time to take a closer look at the road ahead, and instinctively followed it with a big stride.
With his feet on the ground, Xiao Nuan's eyes suddenly brightened.
They had already run out of the dense forest, and in front of them was a wide green meadow, and a camouflage off-road vehicle was parked not far from them.
"Miss Xiao, please come with me. ”
The man didn't give Xiao Nuan a chance to think and judge, so he directly pulled her to the side of the car, pulled the car door for her, stuffed her into the back seat, and then sat in the front passenger seat.
Xiao Nuan was about to ask, when she saw a woman sitting in the back row, with a white long skirt, covered with white veil, and familiar eyebrows: "Are you?"
"By car. The woman patted the back of the driver's seat first, and when the car started to drive, she turned to Xiao Nuan and said, "Miss Xiao, hello! I'm Sister Hong's assistant: A Jing." ”
"I'm sorry, we're late and frightened!" Ah Jing's gaze quickly swept over Xiao Nuan's body, and she bowed down and took out the emergency medicine kit from under the seat: "I'll help you treat the wound first." ”
Xiao Nuan's hanging heart fell to the ground, and only then did he notice that his body was full of wounds scratched by thorns.
But she didn't care, and waved her hand eagerly, "I'm fine! How is Ah Ting? Where did you take him? Can you take me to meet him?"
This is probably the best love in the world!
No matter how desperate they find themselves in, the first thing they think of is each other!
Thinking of this, Ah Jing's eyebrows and eyes were a little gentle: "Miss Xiao, calm down, Mr. Huo, he's fine." Mr. Huo should be on the plane to country Z now, and our boss will accompany him personally! We will leave here later, and we will send you to meet them. ”
Xiao Nuan completely put her mind at ease, her back collapsed tightly, and the whole person leaned softly on the back of the chair: "Thank you, thank you!"
Ah Jing smiled and said with relief: "We have to thank you, thank you for being brave and strong, otherwise we really won't be able to explain to the boss when we go back." ”
Hold on?
Xiao Nuan thought of something, suddenly sat up straight again, and said anxiously: "Before you can find here, you should have also gone to the sea to look for me, right?
Ah Jing's eyes froze, pursed her lips and shook her head: "The search and rescue at sea continues, but no one else has been found for the time being." The people of Hong Min, the prince of Qingbai Kingdom, are gradually taking over the search and rescue. Those people will definitely not leave a living mouth. ”
Xiao Nuan's eyes turned red, and his body fell back into the chair weakly, muttering: "Sure enough, it's him!
Anger and endless desolation swirled in her chest, and she clenched her fists so hard that several thorn-piercing wounds on the back of her hand burst back with blood.
Ah Jing hurriedly opened the medicine box and took out disinfectant and gauze: "Miss Xiao, calm down." Let me help you bandage your wounds, okay?"
Xiao Nuan came back to his senses and forced himself to calm down.
She took the disinfectant water in Ah Jing's hand, and reluctantly squeezed out two points of relief and smiled: "Thank you, I'll come by myself." I'm so grateful that you came to my rescue. ”
Ah Jing knew that she was a doctor, and she was not reluctant, so she said politely: "Our boss and Mr. Huo have reached a cooperation, and the first condition is to ensure the safety of you and your son, which is what we should do." ”
So, is Ah Ting using himself to save her again?
Xiao Nuan's hand holding the disinfectant water tightened, and his heart was mixed.
......
Z country, Jincheng.
It's still the secret teahouse, or the box at the end of the corridor.
The difference is that the person who waited in the room first this time has become Hong Lie.
He sat upright in his chair, his hands on his knees as if casually, and he could still feel his calves trembling slightly from nervousness.
He only has this one chance, if he can't save Yuntian, he doesn't know how to face himself, and he doesn't know how to face Xiao Nuan.
The door of the box opened, and Zhao Feng pushed Huo Liren and walked in slowly.
Hong Lie immediately stood up and almost knocked over the tea cup on the table: "Where is Yuntian, where is my son?"
Behind them, no one else followed.
"What, regret it?" Huo Liren spoke, his hoarse voice was always warm.
A faint smile remained on his face, but the half of his face covered with red scars looked particularly hideous.
Hong Lie suddenly calmed down, this is a psychological war, whoever shows cowardice first will lose.
He sneered: "Do I need to regret it?" Anyway, Yuntian's identity has been exposed in the royal family, and I can't go back to Qingbai Country now, even if I go back, my identity has no reason to value you at all. You can't threaten me, and I can't help you, so our cooperation should end here. ”
Huo Liren pretended to raise his eyebrows: "Oh, I see! Since you are nothing now, why should I listen to you?"
"You!" Hong Lie slammed his fist down on the tea table.
He closed his eyes vigorously, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of murderous blood: "I might as well tell you, something happened to Nuan Nuan, and now life and death are uncertain, if you don't return Yuntian to me today, I don't mind breaking the net with you!"
He's got the news too?
No wonder it's so out of control!
A flash of surprise flashed in Huo Liren's eyes, and in just a moment, there was interest in the peach blossom eyes: "You have lost your spiritual pillar and want to find a new spiritual pillar, I can understand." But don't you think it's ironic why you want to look for the woman you love the most and someone else's son?"
A relationship to the point, such as a man's back.
Hong Lie laughed self-deprecatingly: "Oh, yes! How ironic! I have asked myself this countless times, but I still haven't gotten an answer." On the way here just now, I was actually still thinking, I have no power and no power and I can't go back to my home, will you kill me here. Is it really worth it for such a child who has no blood relationship with him and can even be called a rival in love?"
Without waiting for Huo Liren to answer, he said quietly: "Heh, I still don't have an answer." But my body reacted most honestly. I am here, right now, standing before you. ”
He looked condescendingly into Huo Liren's eyes, and there was a determined light in his eyes.
Huo Liren looked at the light, and suddenly lost his mind.
He seemed to have seen it somewhere, and he couldn't remember it for a while.
Seeing that he was silent, Hong Lie suddenly asked, "You don't have children yet, do you?"
Huo Liren was silent.
Hong Lie continued to ask, "Is there a woman you love?"
Huo Liren was still silent.
Hong Lie smiled with relief: "It seems that it is gone." It's no wonder. When you see the woman you like conceived in October, her belly grows a little bigger, and she has another child, even if you know that the child has nothing to do with you, you will be happy and excited because of the arrival of that little life. ”
Hong Lie closed his eyes, his mind was full of Yuntian Xiao's warm and gentle eyebrows and small Yuntian, he was lying in swaddling clothes, and he would smile at him!
"Such a small, so soft lump, growing and sturdy day by day, from climbing to station, from standing to walking...... The first person he toddled at with open arms was not his mother, but me. The first time he opened his mouth and shouted: Daddy, it's me too. His crying, his laughter, all of his everything, he can share with me. How can I let go of him like this, how can I let go?"
Hong Lie's eyes were red, and every word and breath revealed 120,000 points of sincerity. With his love, he participated in all the past of Yuntian.
He didn't expect Huo Liren to understand, but he hoped to at least believe in his determination to burn the jade for Yuntian, but Huo Liren laughed contemptuously.
"That's why you're losing to your big brother. ”
Hong Lie frowned, and immediately became vigilant: "What do you mean?"
Huo Liren chuckled: "You are so bold to come to me, don't you just think that you don't have a handle in my hands, so you want to fight me fearlessly? Maybe, you also secretly called a patrol to lurk in a corner, right?"
Hong Lie chuckled in his heart, but his face remained calm and did not say a word.
Huo Liren didn't expect him to answer, and continued: "Do you think I really believe that you will bring Ah Ting to see you? I'm here to make a second deal with you. ”
A flash of surprise flashed in Hong Lie's eyes: "What deal?"
Huo Liren was like a patient hunter, and he was kind and seductive: "Your identity is embarrassing now, and if you can't go back to Qingbai Kingdom, you can't avenge the woman you love the most, right?"
Hong Lie's brows furrowed even tighter.
He felt that something was about to come out of his heart, but he just pretended to be at a loss and asked: "Revenge? Why should I take revenge? Who am I going to take revenge like? Nuan Nuan's accident was an accident!"
"Hahahaha......"
Huo Liren seemed to hear a funny joke and laughed: "So you are stupid!"
After Zhao Feng entered the door, he stood behind Huo Liren like a statue, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth at this moment.
After laughing enough, Huo Liren looked at Hong Lie with pity, and said, "Since it's a transaction, then I might as well tell you one by one." When you asked someone to trick Ah Ting, you just wanted to teach him a lesson and keep him away from the woman you love. But the Gu poison was dropped by someone, and that person was your good big brother, Hong Min, the eldest prince of the Qingbai Kingdom.
The identities of Yun Tian and Xiao Nuan were exposed, I believe I don't need to say it, you also know that it is your eldest brother's arm, right? Xiao Nuan not only brought you a green hat, what is the result of such a crime, I believe you know better than me.
Then there is Xiao Nuan's plane crash. If I'm guessing correctly, it should be your eldest brother's handiwork. Except for him, in the entire Qingbai Country, who else would be so intolerant of Xiao Nuan and you?"
That weird phone call, those hints of repeatedness......
Hong Lie had a feeling in his heart early on, but listening to Huo Liren say it word by word, he still felt unacceptable.
His figure swayed slightly, and his dark eyes were full of disbelief: "No, no, it won't be my eldest brother." He just wants the throne, and I've promised him that. There's no need for him to kill again!"
"Then you have to think about it, think about the changes in your relationship over the years, and think about how he has forced you to this point step by step. ”
Huo Liren's hoarse voice was bewitching.
Countless past events instantly appeared in Hong Lie's mind, and those details that were enough to explain everything appeared: "Why? Why did I already promise him, and she still wanted to kill Nuan Nuan?"
He couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out at all.
The eldest brother clearly knew that what he wanted was never the throne, all he wanted was Xiao Nuan......
Hong Lie crouched down and hugged his head in pain.
Huo Liren drove the wheelchair over, leaned close to his ear and said quietly: "Because you have moved your heart and have love, although I don't understand this useless thing, but your eldest brother does." He knows your weakness, and he knows that only by completely destroying Xiao Nuan can he completely destroy you!"
Hong Lie raised his head, his bloodshot eyes scarleting: "How do you know? How can you know so clearly?"
Huo Liren smiled warmly, the half of his face was not disfigured, and he was unusually handsome: "I naturally have my own way, there is no need to tell you." You just need to know that I'm here today to help you, that's enough!"
Hong Lie's hand hung down, and his eyes flashed: "Help me?"
Huo Liren paused word by word: "Becoming a king and defeating a villain." ”
Seeing that Hong Lie was puzzled, he explained: "This is an idiom of our country Z. Your eldest brother is pressing forward step by step, never dying. Only when you become a king and completely crush his ambitions can you take revenge on the woman you love. ”
"However, Nuan Nuan may not really have an accident, maybe she is still alive?" Hong Lie was still unable to accept this sudden everything.
What a weak man!
Huo Liren sighed in his heart, but his face remained silent, and he continued to seduc: "Even if she doesn't die, can you only be able to renew your relationship with her if you become a king?"
Only in this way will the father, queen and mother, and those many courtiers not stand in the way.
Hong Lie understood, but he still raised his lips and smiled bitterly: "That's impossible." Even if I become the first in the world, she only has Huo Liting in her heart. Otherwise, how could she risk her life and death for Huo Liting, regardless of life and death?"
"Because she is a healer, she has only a sense of responsibility as a healer to her patients. Huo Liren said firmly: "I might as well tell you one more thing. Do you remember when she was rescued and her life was hanging by a thread?"
Hong Lie didn't know what he meant, but nodded honestly.
"Back then, there were actually two women by Ah Ting's side at the same time, one was your favorite Xiao Nuan, and the other was Miss Song. The two women were kidnapped at the same time, but Ah Ting chose to save Miss Song among them. On the dark and windy night of that month, Xiao Nuan was thrown off the cliff, and at that time, she was still pregnant with Ah Ting's child in her belly. Do you think such a deep hatred, if you are Xiao Nuan, can you forgive him again in this life?"
Hong Lie looked at Huo Liren in shock, trying to find traces of lying in his eyes.
But as a result, there was not a slight!
It turned out that this was Nuan Nuan's past that she never wanted to talk about, and it turned out that this was the scabbed wound in her heart......
Her heart must be very painful, so every time she just vaguely brings everything through.
As long as Hong Lie thought about that picture, he felt that his whole body hurt.
If it was him, he would definitely never forgive Huo Liting in his life!
While enduring the sharp pain in his heart, a touch of joy arose spontaneously from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Nuan's personality is clear in love and hate, even he can't forgive Huo Liting, and she definitely can't.
Hong Lie's dim eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope: "So, I still have a chance?"
Huo Liren smiled, and a treacherous yin owl quickly flashed in his peach blossom eyes: "Of course." And with my help, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Hong Lie straightened up, and his mind became active again.
After a moment, he suddenly exclaimed, "Oops!"
He hurriedly took out his phone, but before he could unlock the page, the door of the box was pushed open.
Two burly men in black suits pushed Huo Liyi and Mrs. Huo in: "Boss, my subordinates just found out that they were sneaking around outside, and I don't know what they are doing." ”
Hong Lie's heart sank, and he subconsciously looked at the time on his phone, biting his lip in annoyance.
This Huo Liyi is still so unreliable!
They arrived earlier than agreed.
Huo Liyi struggled, tried his best to protect the old lady's stumbling steps with his body, and reminded: "Grandma slow down, grandma be careful." ”
Huo Liren looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in the room, and his narrow peach blossom eyes suddenly widened.
The old lady's hair was all white, and the silver strands of it trembled in the air as she worked. Her cheeks were thinner than before, and her grey eyes were sunken into their sockets......
The atmosphere in the room seemed to have stopped for a moment.
After a long time, it was Mrs. Huo who opened her mouth first: "Ayi, take a look, let's see if it's your eldest brother?"
"Oooh!"
Huo Liyi was worried about the old lady's body bones, and then he turned his head to look at the others in the room.
His gaze fell on Huo Liren, and he was visibly stunned.
His legs are disabled, he is in a wheelchair, wearing black clothes, black pants and black gloves, as if he wants to hide himself in the dark. The face that used to be so plump and handsome, half of it is now scarlet and ugly, and it looks hideous and terrifying......
"Ayi, is it all?" Old Lady Huo anxiously urged.
Huo Liyi wanted to admit it, but he didn't dare to admit it.
He looked at Huo Liren with complicated eyes, his eyes were unconsciously red, and his voice was choked: "Grandma, it's him, it's him, it's not him." ”
He didn't know how to describe it, he just felt that his heart was very uncomfortable.
The reunion after a long absence should have been a surprise, but he was the real culprit who sabotaged the Huo clan to capture Yuntian, and he turned out to be like this.
Huo Liyi couldn't accept it, and couldn't say a word.
Hong Lie came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Mr. Huo, I'm sorry! I just want to go back to Yuntian, and I didn't expect ......."
"Get out. Huo Liren didn't raise his eyes, only interrupted coldly.
His gaze never took his eyes off the old lady.
Hong Lie wanted to say something, but Zhao Feng directly grabbed his arm and pulled him out.
Soon, only the three grandchildren were left in the room.
Although the voice was hoarse to the point that it was completely different from before, Old Lady Huo could still distinguish from the speed and tone of the breath that it should be.
She moved forward excitedly: "It's you, Ah Ren, it's really you!
"Yes, it's me, I'm not dead!" Huo Liren's face was filled with a calm smile, but his eyes were extremely cold.
Old Mrs. Huo leaned on the dragon's head crutches, groped through the sound, and her thin hand fell on the face covered with scars.
Her wrinkled face couldn't hide her distress, and she murmured unconsciously, "How can this be?
Huo Liren sneered: "Not only that, but also this!"
He took the old lady's hand and pressed it on his crippled legs: "I'm now in a wheelchair like Ah Ting in the past, and I've become a cripple!"
His gloomy smile and hoarse voice were like a ghost in the middle of the night, which made people feel chills in their hearts.
"Being able to force me like this is not the credit of Ah Ting alone, but the credit of everyone in the Huo family. You, you, all of you are involved. ”
"So you're going to take revenge on the Huo family? So you're going to take revenge on our Huo family?"
The old lady Huo took a step back, there was no question on her face, only pity.
For Huo Liren's current appearance, but also for the current situation of the Huo family.
"Yes. Huo Liren gritted his teeth: "None of you saw what I did for the Huo family and the Huo family back then." And I, like a joke, a complete joke. ”
He almost roared, his eyes glowing scarlet.
"Confused! Ah Ren, you are confused!"
Old Mrs. Huo stomped the crutches in her hand, hating iron and steel: "Why are you still so obsessed today? We are a family, but you are calculating and using everyone in the family, even at the cost of killing people. We are not sure if you are alive, do you think Ah Ting doesn't know either? With his ability, it is not easy to find you? Why didn't he look for it? Because he wanted to spare your life, but you are still so confused!"
"Hahahaha......"
Huo Liren looked up to the sky and laughed, and the water in his narrow peach blossom eyes flashed: "Yes, yes! All the good is Ah Ting's, and all the fault is mine." For so many years, I haven't done a single thing right in your hearts, it's all wrong!"
Mrs. Huo sighed abruptly, and the corners of her eyes were full of water: "Grandma didn't say that you were wrong, but grandma didn't understand why you were so persistent." You are the eldest son of the Huo family, haven't we given you enough rights and property in those years? Ah Yi has always been untouched, and Ah Ting has never fought with you, why are you still not satisfied?"
