Chapter 136: The old man can't do it
This oolong made the old man misunderstand, and when he ate the next morning, he had to ask Huo Yu: "Did Xiao Yu sleep well last night?"
Huo Yu nodded: "It's okay." ”
The old man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good." ”
Lin Xi: "......"
The only time Huo Yunshen was relaxed was probably when he was with a few people in the family.
Huo Qi didn't catch it for a day, and he couldn't rest assured for a day.
But Huo Qi operated abroad for many years when he was young, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his power is all over the place, even if he was hit by Huo Yunshen to this point, he still used his connections to hide and hide, so that Huo Yunshen was always one step behind him.
Yan Han had already told Su Jing and Huo Yunshen everything he knew, but those places had already been evacuated cleanly, and occasionally one or two people were caught, and no one knew where Huo Qi was.
Huo Yunshen can only check through the list obtained by Yan Han one by one, but everything that involves a little gray business has been almost cleaned up by Huo Yunshen, and if he continues to check one by one, Huo Qi's source of funds will become less and less, and his actions will become more and more difficult.
But in this way, after all, it is too slow.
Huo Qi was in the dark, but Huo Yunshen was in the light, and even the people around him were exposed to danger.
Now, Huo Yunshen felt unsteady when he couldn't see Lin Xi, and he couldn't wait to take Lin Xi to work.
Because Huo Qi's actions so many times seemed to be directed at Lin Xi, Huo Yunshen had to think about it, maybe Huo Qi took revenge on the Lin family, and finally wanted to get Lin Xi.
The days were finally at the end of the year in such a panicked atmosphere, and Huo's annual meeting was imminent, and Lin Xi should attend on behalf of Lin, also considering Huo Yu's age, and the annual meeting was more crowded, so Huo Yu was not exposed to the public too early.
It just so happened that Huo Yu's school was also going on vacation, and the school held a children's dance party before the end of the year, and Huo Yunshen arranged a car and bodyguards for Huo Yu, waiting for the event to end and pick him up home early.
At Huo's annual meeting, Lin Xi held Huo Yunshen's hand, stepped on high heels and walked with him in the crowd, his smiling face stiffened.
Huo Yunshen pulled her to the corner and sat down, and asked, "Are you tired?"
Lin Xi nodded: "There are also disadvantages in being a boss, look at how many people we have to deal with? ”
Huo Yunshen smiled and said, "I'll let Mingcheng send you back first, I can handle it alone." ”
Lin Xi shook his head: "This is not good, I was originally the vice president of the Lin family, and if I slip away at the annual meeting, I will be gossiped." ”
Lin Zhen was already very indulgent to her, if she couldn't even run a small Jiangcheng branch, she would disappoint Lin Zhen.
Huo Yunshen looked at Lin Xi's firm eyes, he could only nod, he put Lin Xi here to rest for a while, and he went to deal with the guests first, Lin Xi suddenly grabbed him and said, "I always feel unsteady, is there something wrong?"
Huo Yunshen smiled and comforted her: "How come, you did a good job." ”
"No, no," Lin Xi shook his head and said, "My right eyelid keeps jumping, and I always feel flustered." ”
Huo Yunshen touched Lin Xi's forehead and asked, "Are you too tired?"
Lin Xi sighed and said, "Yun Shen, why don't you take Xiao Yu back, I can't see him, I always feel unsteady." ”
Huo Yunshen frowned: "But Xiao Yu should play games with children at the dance, do you want to take it back now?"
Lin Xi was a little hesitant, she always wanted Huo Yu to communicate more with her peers, but now that she couldn't see Huo Yu, she always felt unsteady.
Looking at Lin Xi's tangled little face, Huo Yunshen nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll let someone bring Xiao Yu here and let him wait for you in the upstairs room." ”
Lin Xi nodded and urged him: "Go quickly." ”
Huo Yunshen went to call the bodyguards and asked them to take Huo Yu to the hotel here, and told him that Mommy wanted to see him.
The bodyguard went to do it as soon as he received the notice, Lin Xi sat on the sofa holding a glass of water, and waited for Huo Yu to come over.
Huo Yunshen was accompanying her beside her, always feeling that her face was not very good-looking, and five minutes later, the bodyguard called, and his tone was eager: "President, little young master...... Little master, he ......"
"What's wrong? Speak!" Huo Yunshen was also anxious.
"The little young master is gone!" the bodyguard's voice raised two tones out of fear, and it came directly into Lin Xi's ears.
The water cup in Lin Xi's hand fell to the ground with a "snap", making a crisp sound, and the water splashed out and sprinkled her body.
"Xiao Yu is gone, how can it be gone?" Lin Xi's face turned pale, as if the night's fears had become real.
Huo Yunshen called people to lock down the school to find someone, while comforting Lin Xi and said, "Little Wu, don't be afraid, I will find him." ”
Huo Yunshen got up and turned on his mobile phone and entered a string of characters, which were the two programs that Huo Yu had edited at the beginning, and the signal that could locate his watch and Lin Xi's necklace at any time.
Huo Yun was full of hope and entered Huo Yu's program, but after opening it, it was blank, and Huo Yu's annunciator seemed to be blocked, and the location could not be located at all.
Huo Yunshen called Mingcheng and asked him to arrange a car, he was going to school now, and sent all the people who could use it to find people.
At this moment, Lin Xi's mobile phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up: "Hello?"
"Little Five. A familiar male voice sounded, as if with a deadly intimidation.
"Huo Qi ......" Lin Xi's face was as pale as paper, and she asked, "Did you take Xiao Yu away?"
"Little Wu, I want to see you. Huo Qi's voice was very warm, but it made Lin Xi extremely scared.
Lin Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Huo Qi, if there is anything you are rushing at me, don't hurt the child!"
Huo Yu is her life, if Huo Yu has any three longs and two shorts, Lin Xi will not be able to live!
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment, and then he repeated: "Xiao Wu, I want to see you." ”
Lin Xi's voice trembled, and he nodded desperately: "Okay! Okay! I'll see you! Don't hurt the child!"
That's her biggest weakness, enough to hold her whole person!
Huo Qi's voice seemed to have a little smile, and he said, "Xiao Wu, do you remember the first time we saw the sea? Come to see me, you come alone." ”
"I ......" Before Lin Xi could say anything, the phone hung up with a "snap".
Lin Xi looked at Huo Yu's innocent smiling face on the mobile phone screen, looked at Huo Yunshen's back again, casually touched a dinner knife from the dining table next to him, turned around and ran out of the banquet hall through the back door.
Huo Yunshen arranged the manpower and was about to take Lin Xi to the school together, but when he turned his head, there was no one behind him.
Huo Yun was stunned for a moment, Lin Xi was still sitting here just now, his face turned pale with fright, but now, there was no one here.
He immediately called Lin Xi, and as soon as the phone called, he was hung up, and Huo Yunshen continued to make the phone while walking out, and he called three times before he finally connected.
"Little Wu, where are you?" Huo Yunshen's voice was full of trills.
Lin Xi looked at the hotel that was getting farther away, and said, "Huo Yunshen, I can't lose my little encounter. ”
Huo Yunshen's heart trembled, and he said, "Little Wu, be obedient, if you come back, I will find him." ”
"No," Lin Xi shook his head: "Yunshen, I believe in you, but I can't take any risk of losing my son, I have to go!"
"Little Five!" Huo Yunshen's voice trembled: "You promised me! Don't take risks!"
Lin Xi's eyes became more and more determined, and she said: "Yunshen, I'll be fine, if I find Xiaoyu, I'll come back, please, don't send someone to find me, don't." ”
The "Little Five ......" phone was suddenly hung up, and Huo Yunshen called again, and a mechanical female voice sounded inside, telling him that the phone had been turned off.
Huo Yunshen pinched his phone angrily, now on one side is his missing son, and on the other side is Lin Xi who jumped into the fire pit, he is standing at the fork in the road, in a dilemma.
"President, Su Shao has already brought someone over, I'll help now, you ......" Mingcheng didn't say much, what to do is completely up to Huo Yunshen's decision.
Huo Yunshen nodded, was silent for a moment, and said, "Go ahead." ”
Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, and bowed slightly: "President, we will find the little master." ”
After Mingcheng left, Huo Yunshen went to drive a car alone, he entered Lin Xi's string of codes into it, as expected, Lin Xi had just set off, and it was impossible to be blocked from the signal, the small red dot gradually moved to the edge of the city on the map, Huo Yunshen stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away.
At this moment, the old man Huo was sitting in the old mansion, and his mobile phone suddenly rang, and he picked it up, it was an unfamiliar text message, which contained a photo.
The old man reluctantly opened the picture with reading glasses, and when he saw the content in the photo, he gasped in fright.
In the photo, Huo Yu was sitting in the dark with his hands tied, his eyes wooden.
Old Man Huo wanted to call Huo Yunshen, but he was worried that Huo Yunshen would not tell him the truth, so he immediately called Mingcheng.
The phone was quickly picked up: "Old man, what's wrong?"
Old Man Huo asked very cleverly, "Have you found Xiaoyu?"
Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, he originally thought that Huo Yunshen would not tell the old man, but now it seems that the old man already knows, so Mingcheng can only answer honestly: "Still looking, don't worry, we have blocked the school, it will be fine." ”
Old Man Huo's mobile phone fell to the ground all of a sudden, and Mingcheng's words were undoubtedly telling him that Huo Yu was really missing.
He was anxious to pick up the phone, but he didn't hold it steady, he fell to the ground, and just picked up the phone, an unfamiliar number called.
"Hey?" Old Man Huo immediately picked it up.
"It's me. Huo Qi's voice sounded.
Old Man Huo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Huo Qi, where did you get Xiao Yu?"
Huo Qi smiled and said, "I threw him into the sea to feed the fish." ”
"Nonsense!" Old Man Huo shouted: "Huo Qi! That's your family! Same surname as you! Are you crazy!"
Huo Qi smiled lowly, and he said, "Yes, it's crazy, I've been crazy for decades." ”
Old Man Huo was very anxious, he said: "Huo Qi, I know you hate me, what are you coming at me, don't hurt Xiao Yu, if Xiao Yu has any three long and two short, this family will be over!"
Huo Qi was silent for a while, and said, "It turns out that you still care about this family, why can't you care more about my mother in the first place?"
Old Man Huo was silent, the absurdity of his youth was his fault, he never thought at that time that a momentary mistake would be a sin in this life.
"Huo Qi, whatever you want, Dad can meet you, you want Huo's family, you want the old house, whatever, as long as you let go of Xiaoyu. Old Man Huo said.
Huo Qi smiled and said, "Dad, what I want, what if it's your life?"
Old Man Huo sighed, and before he could speak, Huo Qi said, "I'll give you the address, you come to me, come by yourself." ”
Old Man Huo suddenly laughed, his old voice smiled desolate and tragic, and he said: "Qi'er, I've been in the mall for decades, I'm not a young man like Yun Shen, can't you see through your tricks?"
Before Huo Qi could speak, Old Man Huo said: "You asked me to go to you, what are you looking for? Do you threaten Yun Shen with me? Threaten him to abandon his wife and children? Or give up the family business? Xiao Xi is Yun Shen's person, no matter how hard you try, you can't change this fact!"
Huo Qi shouted: "Nonsense! I will get everything I want! I will let you come! You will come over to me! I will kill you with my own hands! Let you know how painful my mother was back then!"
Old Man Huo smiled bitterly and said, "Huo Qi, I raised you as an adult, do you only have hatred for me?
Huo Qi roared angrily: "Yes! I hate you! I can't wait for you to die! You are not my father! What qualifications do you have to be my father! You only have the eldest brother in your eyes! Only Huo Yunshen! Only Huo Yu! I am not a family with you! Never!"
Old Man Huo was silent for a long time, and asked, "Huo Qi, let me ask again, do you want me to die?"
"Yes, you go die!" Huo Qi was like an angry child, what he said was no more than his brain, his mind was full of grievances and pain over the years, and his mind was full of the appearance of his mother's death.
He hated the Huo family very much, and there was not a day in these years that he didn't want to bring down the Huo family, as for Old Man Huo, he was never a qualified father.
Old Man Huo smiled and said, "Okay, as you wish." ”
The phone "snapped" and hung up, Huo Qi looked at the mobile phone that was hung up, and was stunned for a moment, what did he say just now? He said to let Old Man Huo die immediately, what did Old Man Huo say? He said, Okay, as you wish.
Huo Qi threw his mobile phone aside, how could it be? How could someone like Old Man Huo die? This man has been reluctant to have those properties all his life, so until now he has occupied a part of the shares, and Huo Yunshen is not allowed to control the Huo family with full control, what he cares about most in his life is power and wealth, even if he cares about Huo Yu, it is impossible to exceed his own life.
Huo Qi's plan today is very simple, that is, to use Huo Yu to separate these people who are tightly hugged, Huo Yunshen and Lin Xi are separated, and Old Man Huo and Huo Yunshen are also separated, he will lead everyone away, and then take revenge on Old Man Huo, and then get Lin Xi.
Calculating the time, Lin Xi is almost about to go to the beach now, but now Old Man Huo is not fooled, he picked up his coat and prepared to go to the beach to find Lin Xi first.
The mobile phone rang suddenly, Huo Qi opened it, and received a text message from Old Man Huo: "In this life, I can't be a good father for you, it's not good for me." ”
It was very simple, but it made Huo Qi panic for no reason, he got into the car, hesitated, turned around and drove in the direction of Red Maple Garden.
Red Maple Garden.
Old Man Huo sat in the room, looking at the pitch-black mobile phone screen, tears fell from his cloudy eyes, he fumbled for a photo in his hand, and sighed.
It was a family photo of a very old age, and there was no Huo Yunshen in it, only him and his wife, as well as Huo Yunshen's father and Huo Qi.
At that time, the two children were still young, and Huo Qi's face was still childish, far from being like now, his face was gentle and elegant, but his heart was as ruthless as a snake and scorpion.
Old Man Huo picked up the medicine bottle next to him, poured out a large handful of medicine, and swallowed it in his mouth.
He lay on the bed and closed his eyes quietly.
These days, he has thought about it a lot, this was originally the mistake he made, the sin he made, but now he wants Huo Yunshen to clean up the mess for him, which makes Huo Yunshen and Lin Xi nervous every day, for fear that something will happen, if he could still endure hiding here and waiting for all this to end before, but Huo Yu's photo has become the final bottom line.
If his departure can end all this, it would be good, Huo Yunshen has been busy for so many years, and he has been fighting for this family for so many years, it is time to live a good life with his wife and children.
Didn't Huo Qi just want his life? It's good if he gave it, people of this age don't have many days left, if the remaining three or five years can be exchanged for the safety of Huo Yunshen's family, it will be worth it.
After all these years, he has lived enough and suffered enough.
It was he who created this hateful Huo Qi, and it was he who should let this hatred end.
Old man Huo lay on the bed and fell asleep, the housekeeper came on time to remind the old man to take medicine, knocked on the door, but did not hear the old man's response, the housekeeper was still a little strange, shouldn't it, the old man was awake at this time, and he should have taken medicine before sleeping.
The housekeeper knocked again, but still no one answered, he gently opened the door and said, "Old man, it's time to take medicine......
The house was quiet, the housekeeper walked to the bed, watched the old man fall asleep, and thought to himself that maybe he was always worried about the repair of the old mansion these days, and he was a little tired, but he still had to take the medicine.
The housekeeper patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "Old man, get up and take medicine before going to sleep." ”
Old Man Huo lay motionless on the bed, the housekeeper was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw a bottle of medicine on the bedside table, and wondered if the old man had eaten it?
He picked it up and checked it, and was immediately shocked, where is this old man's medicine? This is obviously a medicine from a long time ago, and the doctor told him that he should not take more of this medicine, because it will affect the heart and lung function!
The housekeeper poured out the medicine and wanted to count it, he knew very well how many doses were left in each bottle of medicine for the old man, but this poured out, where else did he need to count?
An ominous premonition rose in the butler's heart, and he reached out and pushed the old man regardless of his identity, slapped his face again, and shouted, "Old man!
Old man Huo is still lying on the bed, motionless, if it is usual, the old man's sleep is shallow, and he will wake up when the housekeeper calls him.
The butler immediately realized that something was wrong, and he pushed the old man, and then pinched the old man's people, and shouted, "Come on, come on, help!"
The servant immediately ran up, and the housekeeper shouted, "Call an ambulance! Call Mr. Huo!
The whole Red Maple Garden was in a mess, some people went to call an ambulance, some people called, and some people were busy helping to carry the old man downstairs.
Halfway through the drive, Huo Yunshen received a call from Aunt Zhang, he picked it up and asked, "Aunt Zhang, what's wrong?"
Aunt Zhang cried and shouted, "Mr. Huo, come back quickly!
Huo Yunshen's mind was "buzzing", and the sound of the car braking suddenly came, he stopped the car and asked, "What are you talking about!"
"The old man swallowed half a bottle of medicine!, come back and take a look!" Aunt Zhang shouted anxiously.
Huo Yunshen looked at the little red dot on the map that was getting farther away, hammered the steering wheel violently, and turned around while calling Lin Xi, but Lin Xi's mobile phone was still turned off, Huo Yunshen cursed a dirty word, so he could only call Mingcheng and ask him to send someone to pick Lin Xi back, even if he tied her up.
Even if he cared about Lin Xi no matter how much he cared about him, it was impossible to leave his dying grandfather alone, Huo Yunshen almost drove to the maximum speed and rushed to the hospital like crazy.
When Huo Qi arrived at the gate of Hongfeng Garden, he saw that the ambulance was parked at the door, and the doctors, nurses and housekeepers were busy carrying the stretcher to the car, and the unconscious person on the stretcher was the old man Huo.
Huo Qi's hand holding the cigarette trembled, watching Old Man Huo being carried into the ambulance, the ambulance sounded a shrill sound and gradually faded away, and no one noticed the car parked next to him.
Huo Qi took a few deep breaths, what was he worried about? What he wanted was for Old Man Huo to die, and what he wanted was revenge! Isn't this result a matter of course? He was about to succeed, and he was only one step away, so he should be happy!
Huo Qi started the car, the car drove to the beach, things have come to this point, he can't give up halfway, he is about to succeed, the last thing is to get the person who thinks about it day and night!
The car stopped on the side of the road, Huo Qi saw the woman standing by the sea, five years have passed, she doesn't seem to have changed at all, she is still the same as before, beautiful, charming, with a fatal attraction.
Huo Qi adjusted his mood, ran over, and shouted, "Little Five!"
Lin Xi turned her head to watch Huo Qi run in front of her, and then, the hard tip of the knife pressed against Huo Qi's abdomen, and she asked, "Where is Xiao Yu?"
Huo Qi was stunned and smiled: "Xiao Wu, I didn't ask you to bring a knife to see me." ”
