Chapter 238: The Evil Ghost Descends
When the gauze covering his eyes was removed, Tao couldn't slowly open his eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The room was lit up in a soft yellow light, the curtains were closed, and he couldn't tell the weather outside, but he could clearly see the wrinkles in the corners of the doctor's eyes, and the faint redness on the nurse's cheeks.
Tao couldn't get excited, and he subconsciously said to the medical staff: "Thank you, thank you!"
Seeing the nurse's smile, he realized that he was speaking Chinese, and he clumsily said in English: "thank-you-very-much!"
After talking with the doctor for a few words, the escort smiled and said to Tao, "Mr. Tao, you still need to rest now, and you can't go out to bask in the sun right away." Also, during this month, you can't let water get into your eyes when you take a shower or wash your face. Don't overdo it and don't rub your eyes. It's a good idea to wear sunglasses when you're out and about during this time. ”
"When can I see my daughter and son-in-law?" Tao asked impatiently.
"Mrs. Nan called in the morning, saying that she was going to do her hair today, and Director Nan seemed to be with Master Hou and them. The escort whispered, "Do you need me to contact Director Nan immediately?"
Tao couldn't hold back the disappointment in his heart, "Forget it, I can't go out now anyway, let them go." He deliberately opened his eyes wide, then slowly closed them, then opened them again, closed them again, and repeated it several times in a row. "So, can I use my phone?"
The escort smiled, "Of course you can." However, I recommend that you rest for a while before using it, you have just removed the gauze, and it is better not to overwork your eyes. ”
Tao couldn't smile gratefully, "Okay." By the way, what time is it?"
The escort reached out and pointed to the LCD wall clock on the wall, which showed the time at 9:15.
Tao couldn't blink happily, he wanted to run out to see the flowers and plants outside, but he suddenly felt a little tired inexplicably.
The escort saw his tiredness, "Mr. Tao, you better sleep for a while, and I'll help you bring your mobile phone in later, put it at your bedside, and you can use it when you wake up." Oh yes, you don't need to be in blind mode anymore. ”
Tao lay down on the bed unsatisfied, he lifted the quilt over his body, then looked at his hands again, then closed his eyes with a smile and fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long later, he suddenly opened his eyes.
The lights in the room were turned off, the curtains were well shaded, and the whole room was shrouded in a quiet darkness.
Tao could not feel an inexplicable uneasiness, not because he had fallen into darkness again, but because he had heard a little movement—he had been close to blindness for several years, and he had developed a keen ear.
Someone was in the room.
"Who?"
No one answered.
Tao fumbled unshakingly, trying to find the call bell.
Suddenly, a wall lamp in the corner of the room lit up. On a chair in that corner, a man sit.
"You don't have to ring the bell, it's useless to press it. A familiar voice came, like a devil's whisper, and Tao couldn't help but shudder after he couldn't hear it.
"You...... Who are you?" Tao pressed the call bell in horror, and sure enough, the room was silent, and the call bell was lifeless as if it were dead.
"It's useless to tell you, why don't you listen?" The voice was full of sarcasm, and the more he listened, the more Tao couldn't feel familiar, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and you still have that temper, and you haven't changed at all." ”
The man who spoke stood up and walked towards the hospital bed, he walked slowly, and every step seemed like stepping on Tao's heart.
Tao couldn't tremble and tried to climb out of bed, but as soon as he moved his legs, he immediately realized that his lower body was completely unconscious, as if he was paralyzed. He braced himself on the bed with his arms, barely sat up, and glared at the man, "Who are you? What have you done to me?"
The man stopped two meters away from his bed. In the faint light, his face loomed, and a pair of golden eyes leaped above him, a nightmare that Tao could never forget.
"You...... You...... Impossible!" Tao couldn't widen his eyes and muttered, "You're dead in '91!"
The man laughed, and the laughter seemed to come from his abdomen, and the air trembled.
The familiar eyes and laughter almost made Tao unable to choke.
"Don't pretend to be a ghost, Mous can't be alive, who are you?"
The man slowly walked over to Tao Fu's bed, "Long time no see." ”
Tao couldn't finally make out the faces of the people he had seen so many times—except for a few more wrinkles and a snow-white hair.
Fear was like a poisonous snake, wrapped around Tao's heart.
"Are you thinking to yourself that there must be some guy who has had plastic surgery, dressed like an old thing to scare you and blackmail you? Because Mous is long dead, and Pennington can't have crossed the ocean to chase you to America?" said the man, dragging a chair and sitting down across from Tao. He wears a dark gray double-breasted suit with a navy blue polka-dot tie and leather shoes on his feet that are as bright as mirrors. It is not difficult for insiders to see that this suit was custom-made in Anderson-&-Sheppard, and the workmanship is exquisite, very much the style of an old gentleman.
What Tao couldn't pay special attention to was that the person who came was wearing a pair of delicate leather gloves on his hands.
"Although it's February, the air conditioner is on indoors, what is he doing with gloves? Is it to avoid leaving fingerprints?" Tao grabbed the quilt in horror, and he suddenly remembered that the escort had said that he would give him the mobile phone, so he hurriedly looked at the bedside table again.
"Are you looking for this?" the person took out something from his pocket and shook it in front of Tao Wufu's eyes, obviously, it was Tao Wufu's mobile phone.
Tao couldn't sigh heavily, "What do you want to do?"
"That's a question I should ask you. The man said arrogantly. His Chinese is very good, but because of his age, he speaks with a little rustling noise in his throat, like an electric current rushing back and forth on the radio.
"Mous is an old acquaintance of mine, what is there he that he doesn't know?" said Tao couldn't pull himself together.
"Well, yes. As an 86-year-old, I really should know everything. The man said coldly, "Unfortunately, I still don't understand what your heart is made of." His eyes suddenly became fierce, "Tao can't, I'm not kind to you, right? Not long after you came to work in the store, I saw that you were diligent, so I asked Lin Shu to give you a raise and help you introduce people." After your parents died, the house you lived in was repossessed by relatives, and I asked you to move to my warehouse. Later, your wife became pregnant, and Lin Shu and I helped you rent a house. You don't have much money, I paid the rent for you, I was afraid that you would be thin-skinned and refused to ask for it, so I even asked Lin Shu to find an excuse, saying that it was for your labor fee. As for you, you will only ask for it without shame and accept it without gratitude. He shook his head, "How could I have thought that there are such shameless and vengeful people in this world!"
Tao's heart gradually cooled, these things, except for the people of the Hanover family, only he and his two younger brothers knew, and now that his younger brothers have died, how did the people find out about these news?
"I'm the one who died once. There was a strange smile on the face of the visitor, and the arc was so perfect that Tao couldn't look at it directly. "A lot of things you can't figure out, I know the cause and effect. ”
"Then what are you doing here?" Tao couldn't hold on to the quilt, so irritated that he couldn't smash it on the passer's head.
"You robbed my son's amber shop, killed my son, my daughter-in-law, and even my granddaughter who was a few months old! Eighteen years later, you framed my only grandson and sent him to prison! You say, what am I here for?" the person raised his voice, "On March 5, 1985, you ruined my life and my family. I sit in the ruins of memories every day, almost crushed by great pain, and if it weren't for the strong hatred for you, I wouldn't have been able to escape the pursuit of the 'Unbenevolent Society' in 91. I want to thank you, Tao can't, because of you, I have lived to this day with the belief of revenge. ”
Tao couldn't look at the white-haired Englishman in a daze, and he became more and more confused: the intelligence showed that Mous was dead. But the familiar golden pupils in front of him, the familiar outlines that were exactly the same as the memory, the old and real voice, all pointed to a fact that he had to admit—that Mous had returned.
"If you didn't die in '91, then why did you wait until now to come to me?" Tao asked hatefully.
"Because I'm waiting. Wait for you to get carried away, wait for you to be defenseless, wait for you to think I'm dead. "God has eyes, and I've finally waited for the right time." Now, your daughter and granddaughter are getting their hair done at the hair salon in Bergdorf-Goodman, your son-in-law is racing with a group of people in a house on Central Park West, and your escort is called away by the doctor to do something else, and they are all so far away that no one knows that your life is hanging by a thread. ”
Tao couldn't keep his mouth tightly closed, he didn't move on the surface, but his brain was racing, "If you shout, will anyone hear?"
As if he had seen through the other party's thoughts, Mous suddenly laughed, "You can try." Before Tao could react, he pulled out a Colt python pistol from the inner pocket of his suit as if he were playing a trick.
"It's old, but it's powerful, just like me. Mous bared his teeth as white as jade, "Come, try to see if you shout fast or my bullets shoot fast." ”
A huge bead of sweat slipped down Tao Fufu's head, and although Mous was nineteen years older than him, he knew in his heart that if he moved, he was no match for Mous at all.
"If you shoot, you'll hear a sound outside, and you'll be rushing in with a lot of security guards right away!" Tao couldn't bluff and said, "No matter how good your kung fu is, you can't be ten with one, let alone you're over eighty." ”
"Really?" Mous laughed, "why don't you use your little brain and think about how I got into your hospital room by bypassing the whole bunch of security guards and nurses, and how did I inject you and leave you half paralyzed?"
Tao's heart sank to the bottom of the icy lake in an instant.
"Put your gun away. Tao couldn't be discouraged and said, "If I wanted to shout, I would have shouted." ”
"Let's be honest. Mous cocked Erlang's legs and stared at Tao without blinking, "Whether you shout or not, I want to shoot - I've been thinking about this for years." ”
"You...... It really doesn't have to be like this. Tao couldn't try to contain the fear in his heart, and said in as friendly a tone as possible, "Now I'm basically a wreck, I can't move my lower body, and it's not interesting to yell, we can have a good talk." ”
"Ho. A strange smile appeared on Mous's face, "You're finally willing to talk to me?"
"Hmm. Tao couldn't pretend to be easy and said, "I've lived to this age, and I've seen a lot of the world, so you don't need to make such a big battle." Anyway, we're old friends, so what's not to sit down and talk about?"
Mous looked at him in amazement, then burst out laughing.
Tao couldn't wait for Mous to finish laughing before he said, "I know you don't believe me, but I'm really your friend, not your enemy." There are some things that I have to do and are not what you think. ”
"Really?" Mous still pointed the muzzle of the black hole at Tao Fu, "You mean, those things that have lost your conscience are forced to do by others, and if you don't do it, you will die without a corpse?"
Tao couldn't hesitate for a moment, "I'm sorry for the Hannover, but I've also done good things." After your grandson was imprisoned, I strongly advised Nan Zeyu not to torture him anymore, so as not to attract greater public attention, and because of this, your grandson can live in peace. In fact, if he hadn't escaped from prison later, he would still be alive and well. ”
Mous shrugged his shoulders, "That's touching. According to you, if it weren't for your great mercy, my grandson would have died in the Yin and Yang Pass a long time ago?"
"You go to Nan Zeyu and ask, and you will know if I lied to you. Tao couldn't tilt his head, and his dark brown eyes shone with a strange light.
"Huh. Mous said disapprerovingly, "Don't worry, I'll look for him." He gestured his gun at Tao incomparably, "Don't pretend to be stupid, I knew you when you were a worker, and I can understand your little abacus at a glance." ”
Tao couldn't feel that his mind was seen through by the other party, as if he was standing naked in front of the other party. Even in a dimly lit room, the other party's sharp gaze could make him shudder. The eyes full of hatred reminded him of the evil ghost that crawled out of hell.
"Do you want to ...... When did you ask?" Tao couldn't be silent for a long time, and finally spoke.
"1977 year. ”
