Volume 1 The Lonely Shadow of the Cold River Chapter 83 The Lonely Shadow of the Cold River
At dusk, the snow stopped. Compared to the darkness of the morning, the sky was bright at this time. The afterglow of dusk shone over Pitou City. People shuttled from city to city as usual, numb and empty to consume the day. They compare the richness of life with the length of life, and few people care about another fire in Meishan, which is insignificant to them.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters are all distorted between the lines, and angels and demons are just a thought.
Leonard dragged his weak body through his last operation, and he finally couldn't hold it anymore and collapsed in front of the operating table. He had finally gone through his secret life, and there were countless possibilities for his life. But he chose such a topic, this is his choice, and this is also the choice he has long been destined to have no regrets in his life. No one cried, the pain of loss spread through the hearts of everyone at the operating table, but no one spoke.
Jensen and Joyd dragged Leonard to a chair in the room, and Vincent walked over, gently holding Leonard's hand, thinking about something. Jensen returned to the operating table where Ji Han was lying and continued to complete some of the aftermath of the operation. Joyd placed half of Lisa's head in the freezer.
After a while, Vincent stood up, bowed deeply to Leonard, and said:
"My great Professor Leonard, thank you for all that you have done for this world, and although you do not believe in God, I still hope that God will bless you in Heaven and continue your glorious research work in Heaven, God bless you. Vincent choked up.
Leonard personally removed Ji Han's excess nerve tissue, and this delicate operation lasted a total of 5 hours. Any mistake during this period will bury Ji Han's life, and of course, the most important thing is another set of nervous systems in Ji Han's brain. If the surgery fails, both of these will die instantly. Leonard exhausted the last energy of his life and dragged his old and injured body to complete the operation. When the fist-sized nerve tissue was removed intact and placed in a special vessel, Leonard left with a satisfied smile.
How many paranormal people have died under his scalpel, and how many lives that have passed away have come to life under his scalpel, and the work he has devoted his life to has provided countless basic bases for neuroscience, but his special research has never given him the opportunity to appear on any occasion that is famous in the world. He looked at the fist-sized nervous tissue with satisfaction, and passed away like a monk without any pain. For those who are dying, perhaps the greatest regret is not the things they have done that make them haunted, but the things they have not done. Leonard has no regrets, and the research he worked so hard for during his lifetime can finally continue. What the future holds, it's up to Vincent to leave to them.
After packing up everything, the special plane back to country M has landed at the airport in Pitou City. Vincent patted Jensen on the shoulder and said, "My friend, I'll be back to meet you soon after I'm done dealing with this side of the matter." Take care all the way. ”
Jensen looked at Leonard, who was already dead sitting in the chair, and then looked at Ji Han who was lying on the operating table and said:
"Don't we need to bring this person back to the lab?"
Vincent replied very firmly, "No, no. Mr. Leonard thinks that he no longer has any research significance and value, and perhaps he should have a life of his own. We've left a traceable chip in his brain though, so don't worry, we'll always be able to find him if we need to. ”
Jensen nodded and began to pack up his belongings.
Joyd gently covered Lisa's body with a white cloth and said lightly, "Good night, girl." You're a nice guy. It's nice to meet you, but we might be going to say goodbye, I mean, we're going to say goodbye to your shell. ”
Jensen had already packed the items that needed to be taken away, and he looked at Joyd's funny appearance, and said unhappily:
"My friend, this is not a good opportunity for sentimentality, and I think it's time for us to go. ”
Joyd looked at Leonard again, silently said goodbye, and then walked out of the operating room with Jensen without looking back.
There is no laboratory equipment, so the neural tissue must be brought back to the lab within 24 hours. Otherwise, all the work will be wasted. The plane quickly took off and flew as fast as it could in the night.
Song Daming and Gongxue, who escaped from the cave, were sent to the hospital, and Song Daming dragged his body back to Meishan after the operation. At this time, it was already the second day, and apart from some charred ruins, Song Daming did not find any news about Ji Han. He didn't know whether Ji Han was alive or dead, and for Song Daming, he might have done everything he could to redeem himself. After waiting for a few days, there was still no news from Ji Han.
Gongxue became reticent, and finally she seemed to understand something. After returning the contract to Song Daming, Gongxue stepped on the plane back to Hanjiang City alone. Song Daming also returned to Hanjiang City a week later.
Wu Ying left in a hurry without making any arrangements. His office had been cleaned, but some bullet holes could still be seen in the music. With the assistance of lawyers, Song Daming completed a series of equity changes, and in this way, Song Daming got 100% of Yingdali's shares without spending a penny.
Song Daming knew that even if Wu Ying was blind, sooner or later he would come back. So in the next few months, Song Daming hollowed out the entire Yingdali through a series of split combinations, equity pledges and changes. At the same time, Song Daming banned some gray industries and released the imprisoned Ding Daju and Li Jun.
Li Jun felt like he had a fantastic nightmare, and Li Jun, who was already half-disabled, came to the police station for the first time to report all the crimes he knew about Wu Ying and Lu Li, and at the same time, the police were also under the command of Officer Zhou, and Wu Ying and Lu Li were investigated. Officer Zhou originally knew some inside information, but what Officer Zhou didn't expect was that the crimes committed by Wu Ying and Lu Li over the years would be stacked so much taller than one person just in the files. After completing all the case files as a whole, the police issued a nationwide investigation notice to Wu Ying and Lu Li, even if Wu Ying and Lu Li had nine lives, they would not dare to return to Hanjiang City.
Ding Daju was carried out of the secret room, he has become a little demented, almost a year of torture, Ding Daju can survive is simply a miracle.
After these were completed, Song Daming was relieved. Li Baoxia finally lived in the villa, and after experiencing these bizarre encounters and life and death, Song Daming finally understood that Li Baoxia was the one who could spend his life together.
Slowly, the injuries on his body have completely recovered, but at night Song Daming always wakes up suddenly, although he has tried all his means to find Ji Han's information in the past few months, but he has found nothing. In the burned B&B in Meishan that day, Ji Han's body was not found, nor Xiao Li's body was found, and the identity of the agents could not be found in the police system, so Song Daming could not conclude whether Lu Li was among those people. Song Daming was originally a small person, no matter how bizarre he experienced, he still missed Ji Han in his heart. It's just that since then, he hasn't seen Ji Han again.
Gongxue occasionally called, and the two of them occasionally had some exchanges, but the exchanges were all about inconsequential business matters, and most of what they said was some business diplomacy. Song Daming knew in his heart that what Gongxue wanted to talk to him about Ji Han was, and she was too puzzled. Gongxue didn't take the initiative to mention anything about Ji Han, and Song Daming didn't mention anything about Ji Han, the two of them maintained this tacit understanding, you said a word to me, and every time I hung up the phone in a hurry.
That day, Gongxue really realized that Ji Han was not ordinary, although she still thought about Ji Han in her heart, but slowly she realized that that kind of longing had become a kind of family affection. Or there has never been real love between her and Ji Han. At the same time, Gongxue felt a little guilty, if she hadn't insisted on going to Ji Han and then being followed, maybe that woman wouldn't have died. She didn't know if Ji Han would forgive her, but she slowly forgave Ji Han in her heart, maybe she didn't understand why she buried her poems and distant dreams and became like this.
Another few months passed, Li Baoxia became pregnant, and Song Daming's daily life became regular. In addition to the necessary work every day, Song Daming almost does not participate in any entertainment, and will return home to accompany Li Baoxia as soon as he is done.
Gongxue left Hanjiang City and officially embarked on her own journey. Before leaving, she met with Song Daming, and the happiness on Song Daming's face in the western restaurant made Gongxue also infected.
"I decided, to go out and see while I was young, I once made a list for myself, and I wrote a lot of places I wanted to visit. Gong Xue and Song Daming sat opposite each other in a Western restaurant. Song Daming once dreamed of having a Western meal with Gong Xue, but his mood at this time was completely different from what he used to be.
I don't know why, the atmosphere is heavy. Song Daming tried his best not to make the atmosphere look awkward, he said with a smile: "It's good, I should go out for a walk more, and after my child is born, I will also go out to have a look." But I've never been far away, and the farthest is Pitou City. ”
After Song Daming unintentionally mentioned Pitou City, he suddenly stopped, and the atmosphere became even more embarrassing.
On the contrary, Gongxue laughed open-mindedly, she put down the coffee cup in her hand and said, "It's okay, Daming." All this has passed, no matter whether Ji Han is alive or dead, he has really existed, and he exists in the important memories of my life. It's just that I can't live in memories forever, I should look for my happiness and joy, and I think that's what he wants to see, right?"
Song Daming looked at Gong Xue noncommittally, lowered his head and pondered for a while.
Gongxue continued: "Hengtai Real Estate is an industry created by my father, I hope you can help me continue to manage it, I will take my mother to walk around, so please be sure to promise me." ”
Song Daming was silent for a while and said: "I promise you, when you come back, Hengtai Real Estate will be developing steadily and healthily, and you can rest assured of this." ”
Gong Xue nodded, then got up and said to Song Daming, "Goodbye, Daming." ”
Song Daming suddenly remembered what Ji Han said to him that day, and he muttered, "Goodbye, Gongxue." Goodbye, Ji Han. ”
Waiting is the first old age in life, and goodbye, every time you say goodbye, you will die a little.
Gongxue's waiting brought her not only a little older, but also calmness after washing her face and heart.
And Song Daming felt that there was something in his body that had been taken away, maybe it was time, maybe it was memory, maybe it was something else.
Ji Han returned to Hanjiang City, and it has been a while since he came back. He didn't contact anyone, just wandered around the city silently by himself. He had never really taken the city to know the city, it was the rainy season, and the water level in the Hanjiang River was much higher than before. Ji Han silently looked at the turbulent water, where were they going? Ji Han thought silently in his heart.
In summer, the wind by the river blows on Ji Han's body, and it is rare to be comfortable in the hot and humid weather. The lonely Ji Han stood by the river and stared, recalling the bits and pieces of the time he had been here, and he had also thought about seeing Gongxue countless times, or Song Daming, or Mei Lin. Maybe people are born alone, and they come and go alone, and that's good. Those strangers will one day become familiar people, or become people who are difficult to part with in life, and then slowly become strangers again. But there is always one person who is the eternal bond of another person, but this person is dead, Ji Han looked at the vast river in confusion, and he didn't know where the future would be.
"Hello, can you get acquainted?" said an old man in an electric wheelchair to Ji Han.
