Chapter Ninety-Five: A Call Across the Ocean
Putting down the phone, Li Banruo took a deep breath of cigarette before calming down his mood, and then said to Lao Wu: "Let's go claim the body of the ninth master." After speaking, Li Panruo strode away from the rooftop.
Li Banruo walked to the top of the stairs, turned his head and saw that the fifth child was still standing motionless, and then said a little impatiently: "What do you want?"
"Master Pan, should we inform Bingluan of this news? After all, he is the son of the Ninth Master. Lao Wu finally said such a sentence, the reason why he hesitated for so long was that he felt that this was tantamount to throwing a burden on Li Banruo, but the matter had already happened, and if he blindly concealed it or evaded it, he might never be able to pass such a hurdle.
Li Banruo stopped, his face was bitter, and he didn't complain about the fifth child's lack of opening and mentioning which pot, he took out his mobile phone and said, "I'll call him to inform him." ”
The fifth child couldn't imagine that Li Banruo would agree so simply, and immediately said, "Master Banruo, do you want to slow down?"
Li Panruo directly pressed the dial button, then shook his head and said, "He has the right to know all this." Although his face was indifferent, only he knew how messy his mood was now, and the indifference on his face was just a defense he used to disguise.
An apartment in Toronto.
It was the early hours of the morning, and Wei Bingluan, who had lost sleep again, was sitting on the balcony, looking at this incomparably moving night scene, but it was much more difficult to leave a name under this bustling night scene than in that Xicheng District, because the difference was not just as simple as a world.
This huge gap made even Wei Bingluan, who was already ambitious, daunting.
It's been two days of school, but he's still in a state of wandering, he didn't listen to anything at all, like the walking dead, although he couldn't help but think of making a phone call to ask what the situation had been, but he still endured this thought, he didn't want to add any unnecessary trouble to the people who belonged to that front in Xicheng District, maybe this was what he paid.
"Torturing yourself like this won't have any effect. A female voice sounded beside Wei Bingluan, Wei Bingluan smiled bitterly, he knew that it was his old sister, he turned his head to look at Wei Qinghe, whose hair was scattered and dressed in white sleepiness, the looming figure, the impeccable appearance, but he didn't have any desire in his heart, and he didn't even make any waves, for a younger brother, his sister is such a magical existence, maybe because he has watched too many island movies, so that many people have some distorted ideas.
Wei Bingluan moved his chapped lips and said, "Sister, you can't sleep either." ”
Perhaps Wei Bingluan's sentence directly touched Wei Qinghe's weakness, and she said with a bit of concealment: "I just came down to drink water." ”
Wei Bingluan could clearly perceive the trace of panic on Wei Qinghe's face, but he didn't break it, just sighed and said, "Sister, I plan to study finance." ”
"Good thing. Wei Qinghe just spit out two words, and didn't feel that Wei Bingluan was three points hot, because for a while, she could clearly feel the changes in Wei Bingluan, as if a child had suddenly grown up, although this way of growing up was too cruel, but I have to say that this is a good thing.
Wei Bingluan nodded, and at this time the phone rang, and he looked at the roaming phone, which was Li Panruo's number, and he immediately connected it, because he had been waiting for such a call for a long time.
"Bingluan?" Li Banruo's voice came from the other side of the phone.
"It's me, Brother Praruo, what's the situation?" Wei Bingluan said with some excitement, perhaps because he had suppressed his emotions for too long in the past few days, and he was now venting it directly.
Wei Qinghe, who was on the side, also pricked up her ears when she heard this, although she tried her best to make an indifferent appearance, but in her heart she was more worried about the safety of that man than anyone else.
Li Panruo listened to Wei Bingluan's voice full of anticipation, and the words that had been brewed to the point of his throat stopped, and at such a moment, he suddenly felt that he had failed something, or he had already failed it, but he was afraid that he would be too unable to extricate himself, and selfishly ignored such a disappointment, he took a deep breath, cleared his throat and said, "Bingluan, the ninth master is dead." ”
He knows very well how much damage these words will cause to Wei Bingluan, but if he doesn't say it, it will only brew greater damage, the so-called long pain is better than short pain, and sometimes it is often more pleasant to cut it with a knife than a little bit of heartache.
There was silence on the other side of the phone, and Li Panruo also knew why he was silent, he didn't make a sound, just giving Wei Bingluan time to digest.
Wei Qinghe looked at Wei Bingluan, whose expression was frozen, as if she had noticed something, her hands were also trembling, and she said to Wei Bingluan, who seemed to have been suddenly drained of her soul, "What happened?"
And Wei Bingluan, just stared at her like this, and didn't even give her any reaction.
Wei Qinghe was in a hurry, she directly snatched the phone, and then asked in a hoarse voice: "Li Panruo, what happened?"
Li Panruo was startled by Wei Qinghe's voice suddenly coming from the phone, but he could think of the scene on the other side of the phone, he took a deep breath again and said: "I'm sorry, I've tried my best, but some things really can't be changed without giving up my life, no one wants to see such an ending, but it's just such an ending." ”
When Wei Qinghe heard Li Panruo's words, she only felt that her world collapsed in an instant, and the strength she had built up in the past few days collapsed all of a sudden, this is a tearing pain, and people can't even take a breath.
She covered her mouth and cried bitterly, and at this time, Wei Bingluan, who had been stiff just now, took the mobile phone in her hand, and then said in a voice that could only be made now: "Who is it." ”
Of course, Li Panruo knew what Wei Bingluan meant, because when he learned such a news, he also surged with such anger, but he would not let this anger completely engulf Wei Bingluan, he said: "It doesn't matter who it is, the important thing is that this storm has passed, and there is a new order in Xicheng District, all of this is over, in the past." ”
The last three words, he said unusually heavy, Li Banruo never thought that he would be able to say such a disobedient thing, but now he has to play such a role, if he loses his mind again because of anger like Wei Bingluan, then it will only make the situation worse.
"How can I pass, is my dad like this...."Wei Bingluan roared, but before he finished speaking, Li Banruo interrupted Wei Bingluan's hissing voice, he said: "This is his choice, whether you accept it or not, you need to accept it, if you feel unwilling to do this, and feel that the most unworthy person should be him, then make yourself stronger, and then return to Xicheng District to regain everything he has, in order to prove that he did not lose." ”
Li Banruo's words were like a basin of cold water, which extinguished all the anger in Wei Bingluan's heart at this moment, and made Wei Bingluan realize for a moment that he couldn't change anything with his current fist, he glanced at Wei Qinghe, who was crying, although he felt like he was being cut by a knife in his heart, he still asked calmly: "I want to go back to my father's funeral." ”
"Don't come back. Li Banruo said directly, although this storm seems to have passed, but Li Banruo doesn't think so, because the current Xicheng District is chaotic again, just a fire, in this situation to let Wei Bingluan come back, it is not a wise thing, and now that the ninth master is gone, they have lost their protective umbrella, and they have reached the point where they can hardly protect themselves, let alone protect this pair of sisters and brothers.
Wei Bingluan listened to Li Panruo's absolute refusal, and couldn't help but say, "Don't we even have the qualifications to attend our father's funeral?"
"It's not that you don't, it's that you think clearly, if you have three long and two short at this time, can you be worthy of what he has paid for you, after the situation in Xicheng District really calms down, it's not too late for you to come back, remember, everything only depends on the result, if it is such a result in the end, then all these costs are meaningless. Li Panruo said, he almost racked his brains to persuade the impulsive Wei Bingluan.
Wei Bingluan, who was on the other side of the phone, was silent again, maybe he was touched by Li Panruo again, for him now, reality is like a big mountain in front of him, no matter how he can't step over, and even if he looks up desperately, he can't see the end of the mountain, this is a huge sense of powerlessness.
Wei Qinghe, who was crying at the moment, seemed to think of something, snatched the mobile phone in the hands of Wei Bingluan, who was in a trance, again, and then asked Li Panruo: "How is my uncle?"
Li Panruo listened to Wei Qinghe's crying voice, although he didn't have much affection for Wei Qinghe in his memory, but even so, he was full of sympathy for Wei Qinghe now, but he still played the role of this bad guy and said: "It's a pity that he is also dead, and Bai Wenshan is also dead." ”
The world that had collapsed collapsed collapsed again, it turned out to be this feeling, Wei Qinghe's emotions that were already on the verge of collapse seemed to be pushed violently, she sat directly on the ground, and even tears could not be poured out of her eyes, she only felt gasped.
Wei Bingluan, who was already out of his mind, saw Wei Qinghe's appearance, he immediately leaned over and helped her to the sofa, and finally let her sit down, but found that his cheeks were already full of tears, he picked up the mobile phone, and then choked up and said: "One day, I will straighten my waist and return to Xicheng District, I will take back everything that the world has failed me, and I will even take my father's share, so that the entire Xicheng District knows that he is not a loser." ”
Listening to Wei Bingluan's passionate sentence, Li Banruo just said expressionlessly: "I'm waiting for that day." ”
