Chapter 20: The Curtain of Truth
Anything that doesn't kill you will make you stronger.
- Nietzsche
When Mancang returned home from Daxu, it was already half past six in the afternoon, and he called the door drunkenly, and saw that the light in his mother Fengying's bedroom was on, and there were two plates of vegetables on the dining table that had been fried for a while.
Obviously, his mother Fengying didn't eat again, so he knocked on his mother's door,
"Mom, I'm out to eat, and if I don't eat any more food, it's going to be cold!" Mancang said briskly.
"You eat, Mom ate it just now, lie down for a while......" Feng Ying in the bedroom said haggardly.
"If you don't eat it, then I won't eat it either!" Mancang deliberately raised his voice and said.
There was no one in the room to answer, and I couldn't imagine that the tricks that had been tried and tested in the past were no longer bright today......
Man Cang stood guard at the door of his mother's bedroom for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement, he had no choice but to give up, turned around and walked straight to the sofa, sat down, curled up in the corner of the sofa, and saw that under the TV cabinet opposite, the location where Qin Xin and his group photo were originally placed had become empty.
This is Feng Ying's worry that Man Cang is thinking about things and people, so she quietly hides it, Man Cang shook her head with a wry smile, and couldn't help but sigh that her mother's mind was so delicate.
He thought back to what Da Xu said to himself today, picked up a glass of cold boiled water in front of him, took a sip, he tried to self-regulate, but the oppressive atmosphere in the room still made him unconsciously sad......
He caught a glimpse of the TV remote control on the coffee table, as if he had caught a savior, and quickly picked it up, and pressed the red button in the upper right corner of the remote control, and the TV screen in front of him gradually brightened......
Usually he and Qin Xin rarely watch TV, this TV is Feng Ying's good partner when she is at home during the day, the old man misses the old, there are many channels to choose from on the TV at home, but Feng Ying only watches Jilin TV.
Normally, at this time, Feng Ying would turn on the TV, because after the news broadcast of the local station ended, it was a local weather forecast program, and she was always concerned about the climate situation in her hometown......
"Look, it's been a few months, and the temperature in our house is still below zero......"
"In a few days, the countryside will start farming again!"
"It's going to heat up tomorrow, I have to call your Aunt Wang, she doesn't have a freezer at home, don't shelve the sticky bean bag left for me, give her the address, send it to me quickly!"
This small screen is the emotional sustenance of Fengying's homesickness......
Man Cang looked at the picture on the TV, sure enough, it was the familiar station logo, and the local station news network program was being played at this time, Man Cang hated watching the news broadcast the most, he decisively picked up the remote control, ready to change the channel......
But at the moment when his thumb was about to press the table button, he saw a familiar figure on the screen......
The content of this news is roughly as follows: One day, the elites of "Kyrgyzstan businessmen" all over the country gathered in Changchun, the provincial capital, to seek in-depth cooperation and discuss investment projects......
Although it was only a brief close-up, Mitsukura was very sure that he saw Zhang Fa sitting in the front row......
Mancang quickly opened the drawer under the coffee table, took out a pen and paper, and scribbled down a few words:
"Laifa Group - Zhang Laigui"
"Let's send ...... Zhang Fa ...... Come to your ......" Mancang muttered back to the bedroom as if he was afraid of forgetting......
He hurriedly turned on the computer on the bedroom desk, opened the browser interface, and typed in the keyword "Zhang Laigui of Laifa Group......
In 2006, China's Internet has experienced two big leaps, and many of the Internet bigwigs we are familiar with today have dominated one side at the time, and the rapid development of the Internet has completely changed the lives of a group of young people, including Mancang......
Man Cang greedily collects information about Laifa Group and Zhang Laigui, every move of this business predator who originated in Fuyan City has been accurately recorded by various media platforms, and there are even videos about his personal interviews, often about 40 minutes of video, Zhang Fa eyebrows dance and narrate his family history......
In this interview, he even mentioned the past when he was besieged by heavy snow in Jingkou Village, just to exaggerate the difficulty of his life back then......
In this story, he completely hides the crucial role of Ding Yong, except that he and three people in the village were trapped in the snow on the mountain for five days and five nights in order to chase a lost sheep......
Why did he deliberately hide Mancang's father, as if Ding Yong had never appeared in his world......
Man Cang knew that Zhang Fa and others were absolutely aware of Ding Yong's death, and even according to the clues he had, he had every reason to believe that these four people must be directly related to his father's death......
Everyone was lying, the abrupt sea of sunflowers, the dried skulls, the rotting tools, and the wolf teeth in their hands......
What are you hiding......
One day, I will ask you to tell the truth......
............
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, 2016 is 40 years old, and he has become a well-known cardiovascular surgeon in the circle.
Over the years, the successive blows have made Feng Ying's physical condition very bad, and in this year, the sixty-year-old Feng Ying finally completed her bumpy life road calmly......
The poor woman, who was gentle and pure all her life, waited for her husband to return until she died
In her mind, Ding Yong was still that young and handsome young man......
At least compared to Mancang, she is happy.
After calmly dealing with his mother's funeral, there is only one goal left to support Mankura's survival.
He wrote his resignation overnight, and after handing it over to the unit the next day, he started his own investigation journey, he wanted to find these four people, investigate the truth, and then seek justice for his father, mother and himself.
At dawn the next day, Man Cang put the resignation report in his briefcase, rushed to the hospital early, locked himself in the office, and pondered how to explain this sudden decision to the dean for a while......
He is going to do whatever it takes to fulfill his mission......
"Knock knock......" There was a crisp knock on the door......
"Please come in" sat in front of the computer and looked in the direction of the door.
"Director, at about one o'clock in the morning today, a patient who was admitted to the hospital with sudden coronary heart disease came to the hospital, the situation is not very good, and now he is barely maintained by infusion, and he needs to build a bridge, you can take a look at the medical records, and sign it for me if there is no problem......" A middle-aged man in a white coat and glasses hurriedly walked in with a document, this person is Doctor Bai from the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery.
Man Cang took the material and looked at it carefully:
Zhang Laigui, male, from Fuyan City, 62 years old, with a history of hospitalization for coronary heart disease......
Mancang suddenly felt his heart beat faster and his breath short, as if a hungry tiger had found its prey......
"Director, are you alright......" Dr. Bai asked with concern.
Man Cang came back to his senses suddenly, adjusted his breathing, and replied calmly:
"It's okay, there have been too many things at home recently, and I haven't rested well. ”
"Why don't you rest for a while and see later?" said Dr. Bai.
"No, no, it's important to save people...... Mancang quickly turned back two pages, then picked up the black pen on the desk and quickly wrote down a line:
Consent, coronary artery bypass grafting.
Ding Mancang
In the tropical primeval forests of Panama, there is also a plant called "mantrap vine". If someone accidentally touches the rattan, it will wrap the person tightly like a python until it is strangled to death.
At this moment, Mancang is this "trapping vine", he is waiting for an opportunity, vowing to tightly entangle this prey that he has been waiting for 22 years.
The curtain of the long-sealed truth in front of Mancang is slowly unfolding......
