Chapter 22: The Past
Hospital.
Lin Xiao on the hospital bed hadn't slept yet, Lao Li was standing aside, and when he saw Lin Ye coming in, he called "Little Master" and retreated with interest.
"Ye'er, you're here. ”
Lin Xiao was lying on the bed in a daze, and after finding Lin Ye coming in, his eyes had a little brightness.
"Grandpa. Lin Ye nodded, sat on the edge of the bed, took his grandfather's hand and asked, "Do you feel better?"
"The doctor said he would be discharged tomorrow. Lin Xiao sighed and said, "But my body can't stand the toss, this time, it's really hard for you." ”
Lin Ye said: "This is what I should do. And in the past ten years, I haven't helped the Lin family much, how much I have done, compared with the hard work of my grandfather and father, where can it be regarded as hard. ”
Lin Xiao's body shook, he didn't know what he thought, and his eyes dimmed a little.
"Grandpa, don't think too much, take care of your illness. Lin Ye said: "The company handed it over to me, you can rest assured that I have begun to repay the company's debts, and the projects that have been stalled during this period have begun to be restarted." ”
"I heard that you have hollowed out your uncle, fired all the old ministers of the company, and acquired shares?" Lin Xiao said suddenly.
"Did Lin Chengdong tell you?, or did those people I fired give you a small report?" Lin Ye asked in a deep voice.
"The Lin Group is my child, for so many years, the old man has watched it grow up gradually, and of course I know how many people in it are my henchmen. Lin Xiao waved his hand and said, "This incident was not told to me by your uncle. ”
Although Lin Chengdong is wolf-hearted and hasn't even come to visit Lin Xiao for so long, in Lin Xiao's heart, he is still his son, and even after Lin Bei's death, this son can be preceded by a "only", if Lin Ye wants to deal with Lin Chengdong, he may not be able to bear it.
Lin Ye naturally knew Lin Xiao's thoughts, he didn't answer, Lin Xiao continued: "Originally, I handed over the company to you to take care of, just hoping to delay a little time with your ability, but I didn't expect you to make a bold move on the first day, and completely change the company. ”
"Is Grandpa blaming me?" Lin Ye said.
"It's not. Lin Xiao shook his head and said: "Those old ministers, they have been with me for a long time, I naturally can't be unclear about their situation, this time I am seriously ill, Lin Chengdong almost completely controlled the situation of the company, I was a little worried that you couldn't handle it, but I didn't expect you to not only solve it, but also handle it so beautifully." I also know that you didn't kill your uncle for the time being, but just kicked him out of the company, which is considered to give me a face, and you don't want me to be embarrassed. ”
Lin Ye shook his head and said, "Grandpa, you're wrong, I'm not giving you face, I just don't do it before the matter is investigated, I have been a soldier for ten years, I like to speak with a reason in one hand and a fist in the other." ”
Lin Xiao was speechless for a while, but soon continued: "Ye'er, your uncle was indeed a ghost before, but now that he has been set aside, he should reflect on it when he is at home." ”
"Grandpa, you are too indulgent to Lin Chengdong. Lin Ye was annoyed, his eyes suddenly became cold, and he said, "I know that you have a bad heart and can't stand the stimulation now, but I still want to say, if I don't come back this time, do you know what will happen to you?"
Lin Xiao was shocked, a smile barely appeared on his face, and said, "I heard what Lao Li said." ”
"Even so, do you still want to protect their father and son?" Lin Ye said in a loud voice.
Lin Ye's questioning made Lin Xiao fall silent in an instant.
At this time, Lin Ye didn't want to say more, stood up, and said in a muffled voice: "Grandpa, I have already investigated clearly, and I didn't want to tell you, but if you want to protect Lin Chengdong, then I think it is necessary to inform you." ”
"What?"
"Lin Chengdong, you have been colluding with the Dong family for a long time, your heart suddenly attacked, and he has something to do with him, he is killing his father for profit!"
Lin Xiao propped up his body and said categorically: "Impossible!"
Lin Ye said word by word: "But this is the truth! You also know it in your heart, but you just don't want to believe it! If this matter were changed to my father Lin Bei, would you still be so protective? When my father was accused so much, did you stand up and speak for him? Can you answer me if my father died in a car accident or not, and why there are no bones?"
Lin Xiao breathed heavily, opened his mouth wide, and was in pain, holding his breath and not knowing how to answer.
Lin Ye's face was indifferent, and he said: "Grandpa, you are now my only elder, if your illness is really related to Lin Chengdong, I will never tolerate it! I will not give anyone's face! Even if it is a righteous annihilation!"
The last four words, Lin Ye paused word by word, and he was loud!
Like a roar in a thundercloud, Lin Xiao was deeply shocked!
"Ye'er, you're wrong!" Lin Xiao's body shook violently, and he finally lost his voice and said, "Your father's death has nothing to do with your uncle!"
A look of disappointment flashed in Lin Ye's eyes, and then he got up and said, "Grandpa, you have a good rest, and when you can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, notify me." ”
After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at Lin Xiao's slightly sad face and walked straight out of the ward.
"Little Master......"
Lao Li stood outside the door and seemed to hear the quarrel inside.
"Take good care of grandpa. Lin Ye said: "In the future, don't tell him about the company." ”
Lao Li's body trembled, and then he lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”
After Lin Ye left, Lao Li stood at the door for a long time before re-entering the ward.
"Why are you up, sir!"
When he saw Lin Xiao actually get off the hospital bed and stand on the balcony with his back to him, Lao Li suddenly panicked.
"I'm fine, the old man hasn't reached the point of being buried yet, and he can still stand. ”
Lin Xiao waved his hand to stop Lao Li's support.
Standing with his hands in his hands, Lin Xiao looked at the vast night outside, suddenly sighed, and said, "Lao Li, do you think it's right for me to do this?
Lao Li thought for a while and said, "Young Master Ye is different from Master Bei, and Young Master Ye's luck is definitely different from Master Bei Li." Moreover, Young Master Ye has grown up, and the old slave does not dare to judge his style of doing things, but judging from his various behaviors towards the old man, although he has been gone for ten years, he still has the Lin family in his heart...... And, and ......"
"And what?"
"And this time, Master Chengdong is indeed a bit excessive. ”
After Lao Li said this, he hurriedly lowered his head.
"Lin Bei is dead, I am such a son......" Lin Xiao sighed, suddenly, the old tears were rampant, and said: "That's it, that's it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, I don't interfere in their affairs, speaking of which, I can't help Ye'er......"
In a trance, Lin Xiao's body, which had just recovered from a serious illness, seemed to have suddenly aged a few years again, and this old man, who had lived for most of his life, once again felt deeply powerless.
…………
Coming out of the hospital, Lin Ye took a taxi and came to Linjiang Road.
The night was as cool as water, and the river breeze hit, blowing Lin Ye's hair into a hunting sound.
He carried more than 20 cans of Yanjing beer, stared at the wide and rushing river, thought about the past, and threw cans of empty beer into the river while drinking.
The familiar and unfamiliar streets, everything in Jiangcheng, seemed to be still reflected in his memory, but it seemed to flow slowly with the river of longing.
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of that majestic body.
That person, with resolute eyebrows, a good face, a warm smile, and a pair of thick arms outstretched, as if he would always have a dissolute temperament, was his father, Lin Bei.
Ten years ago, although Lin Bei was the youngest son of the Lin family, he showed a strong business talent since he was a child.
It is indeed not an exaggeration to say that it is amazing.
In the whole of China, the family is ranked.
Starting from the division of heaven, earth and people, those who do not reach the size of the person are all enterprises that do not enter the stream and have no background.
With the help of Lin Bei and Lin Xiao's strategy, the Lin Group has become a wealthy "herringbone" family in Jiangcheng from a small third-rate company.
It is precisely because of the rise of the Lin family that Lin Bei has become a thorn in the side of many people, and he has only been in the limelight for a few years, and it has developed into a tragedy.
In Jiangcheng, there are more than a dozen family names, but there are only three place brands, which are exclusive to the three major families in Jiangcheng.
It's just that due to the limitation of geographical location, Jiangcheng still does not have the existence of the Tianzihao family.
And the death of my father has always been said to be a car accident, but the strange thing is that the body has never been found.
How exactly he died, for Lin Ye, has always been a mystery.
And grandfather Lin Xiao is even more secretive about this matter, even if he arrives in the army, relying on his own ability and information network, there are very few things that have been investigated, and now that he has returned in ten years, his main purpose is to reopen this dusty past.
………
His heart filled Lin Ye's chest, and he could only rely on alcohol to stuff his mind bottle by bottle.
And just when he was distracted, he didn't notice that on the highway of Linjiang Road, a Maserati came speeding from a distance, and then stopped steadily at the edge of the sidewalk where Lin Ye was.
Immediately after, a woman got out of the car.
The woman was dressed in a white long dress, with long hair and a shawl, and high heels. The tall figure and perfect body shape are just like the characters in the painting, and the face is so delicate that there are no dead ends, and it is so beautiful that it is incomprehensible.
She quickly stood still in front of Lin Ye, looking at Lin Ye, who was a little drunk, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly.
"Lin Ye, are you running away from me?"
The woman stroked her hair, which was blown messy by the wind, her mouth opened slightly, her eyes were a little hateful, a little complicated, and said, "I've been back for so long, if I don't come to you, when are you going to see me?"
