As Lin Xiaoyuan expected, in the bank card, it was the bride price of 50,000 yuan given by Mu Daodao's family.

"I didn't touch any of this money, I originally planned to keep it for the elderly, but my son is out of town and sensible, and now I can't use it. ”

Yes, Lin Jingtian couldn't hold back anymore, and tears burst out of his eyes.

"For more than a year, you children have taken good care of me, and I am content. Son, this money is Xiaoyuan's bride price, according to custom, she should bring it to her when she gets married, and now I plan to return it to her, do you have no opinion?"

Lin Jingtian wiped a handful of tears, reached out and took the bank card from his father's hand, stuffed it directly into Xiaoyuan's hand, and said seriously: "Dad, I have no opinion." ”

Lin Xiaoyuan's eyes were hot, and there was a new wave of tears.

Old man Lin nodded and continued: "The card is 55,000, and the extra 5,000 is also the change that Xiaoyuan gave me at the beginning, and I saved it little by little, son, this 5,000 is for you." ”

Lin Jingtian knelt down with a thud, his lips trembled and said, "Dad, my son is not filial, I made you suffer in those years." ”

Old man Lin waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, the prodigal son will not change his money, you are very good now." Son, Junbao's mother, Xiaoyuan, Daguo, I don't like hospitals, I want to go home, don't let me suffer these crimes, okay?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Xiaoyuan also knelt down. She said with tears streaming down her face: "Dad, listen to us, let's treat it well, we will definitely cure you." ”

The other two couldn't stand still, and Jun Bao's mother and Mu Daodao also knelt down slowly.

Old man Lin let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "You are not saving me, you are harming me!"

……

Half an hour later, the doctors and nurses poured into the ward like a tide, hung up the medicine for Old Man Lin, connected it to oxygen, connected it to the monitoring equipment, and then receded like a tide.

Old man Lin was lying on the hospital bed, feeling the cold potion slowly infiltrating his body, and his heart was sad.

I am finally exactly the same as the old brother I once visited!

……

Outside the ward, the family members negotiated a charter.

First, in terms of treatment expenses, Lin Jingtian paid 50,000 yuan, Lin Xiaoyuan paid 50,000 yuan, a total of 100,000 yuan, and went all out to save his father, even if he couldn't be cured, he must be given all-round assistance and care. If 100,000 yuan is not enough, the two of them will continue to pay additional fees;

Second, Lin Jingtian's family's willow weaving business is temporarily in charge of Junbao's mother, which is the economic pillar of the family, and it cannot be delayed, Lin Jingtian is transferred out to take care of his father; Lin Xiaoyuan and Mu Daodao's work is more important, and it is not appropriate to ask for leave often, and it is enough to come back to visit occasionally.

Third, considering that caring for the father is a long-term and long-lasting process, a nurse is hired to assist in the nursing work, and the cost of the nurse is borne by Lin Xiaoyuan;

Taking the initiative to take care of her father and not letting Lin Xiaoyuan and her family ask for leave was proposed by Lin Jingtian, which made Lin Xiaoyuan very pleased, so she proposed the idea of hiring a nurse to relieve her brother's nursing pressure.

At the same time, Lin Xiaoyuan secretly planned in her heart that if the 100,000 yuan was not enough, if she would pay more in the future, she would pay more, after all, her brother's economic strength was still poor.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Xiaoyuan left Lunan in tears and returned to Quancheng by business plane. From this moment on, her heart stayed in the ward, always worried about her father's condition.

……

In the evening, the Mu family villa in Quancheng.

Lin Xiaoyuan endured her sadness, tried to squeeze out a smile, and expressed her gratitude to her eldest brother Mu Dong for his series of arrangements.

Mu Dong didn't know how to comfort him, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh and said, "Xiaoyuan, life and death are rich and noble, and if you are a child, you can do your best." ”

Lin Xiaoyuan shed a few more tears and said helplessly: "Big brother, I know." ”

"Take a break for a while, accompany Uncle Lin well, your work will be represented by Cui Zhe for the time being, don't leave any regrets." Mudong continued.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiaoyuan still shook her head and said slowly: "Big brother, the doctor said that my dad still has half a year to a year, depending on the situation, in the last period, I will take a month or two off." ”

At the end, Lin Xiaoyuan choked up, and couldn't hold back her tears. Mu Daodao carefully hugged her shoulders and took her away.

……

Time is ruthless, whether you are happy or sad, time does not care, just firmly take small steps, inch by inch to rush forward.

New York, USA. The nearest Wall Street is particularly disturbing.

Some civil rights organizations and democrats blame the greed of Wall Street financial predators for the country's sluggish economy, soaring unemployment, and unequal distribution of social wealth. Recently, whether it is online or print media, there has been a wave of criticism, some of which are extremely sharp, naming many financial institutions.

Among the institutions named, even American Future Inc. was included, which made Wang Xinlan very angry.

We invest in gold reasonably and legally, and obtain profits, who is provoked? Why are we said to be greedy?

Moreover, don't you Americans know what the reason for the recent surge in gold prices is? If it weren't for the fact that the over-issuance of currencies has pushed up the price of gold, how could there be such an upward gold price curve?

Wang Xinlan remembered the intensive coverage of the American Future Company and himself by the American media last year, and if it weren't for those damn leakers, how could he have been exposed to the public's eyes, making it difficult to travel freely now.

Shit!

No matter how angry you are, you still have to go to work. As an excellent investor, Wang Xinlan is very self-disciplined.

The Chevrolet Suburban glides smoothly down the streets, a sleek off-road bulletproof vehicle on par with the famous Cadillac Beast, the famous US presidential car, and in fact, the US president's special fleet is equipped with a Chevrolet Suburban.

Sun Mei, a bodyguard brought from China, accompanied Wang Xinlan to sit in the back seat, driven by a professional driver from a black box security company, and the co-pilot was a bodyguard chewing gum.

In front of the Chevrolet, there is an unobtrusive Ford off-road vehicle, and inside is a team from the Black Box Company, who are driving the way ahead.

Wall Street is approaching, but the speed is getting slower and slower, the bodyguard's pager sounds, and the co-pilot's guy answers a few times, turning around to report to Wang Xinlan.

There are small demonstrations ahead, roads are congested, go slowly or turn back?

Of course, it was a slow advance, and Wang Xinlan gave an order. There's a lot of stuff to do in the office.

Although the price of gold stopped rising a month ago, and Wang Xinlan has not invested in gold recently, just dealing with the huge investment income at hand is not something that can be completed in the short term.

Wang Xinlan decided to return to China after completing the classification and placement of these funds according to Brother Mu's instructions, accompany his parents well, take them around, and enjoy his leisure time.

I was thinking about it, but the car suddenly stopped.

Without waiting for Wang Xinlan to speak, Sun Mei immediately asked in English, "What's the matter?"

The bodyguard in the passenger seat grunted and began to ask into the pager.

There was a sudden commotion in the pager, and then a voice came out clearly: "Stand back, back down, gun!"

Then, there was a dull sound, bang!

Many people in the black box security company have battlefield experience, or in other words, the black box company also undertakes some battlefield missions, so the driver of the rear car did not hesitate at all.

He immediately manipulated the vehicle to reverse with all his might, but fortunately, although there were several cars behind, he was still able to swerve out of a passage.

After reversing at full speed for about thirty or forty meters, the car became more sparse, and the Chevrolet Suburban flicked its tail on the spot, adjusted the front of the car to the front, and then immediately went all the way down the street, inserted diagonally into the normal lane on the right at an intersection, and sped away.

……

Half an hour later, the front car was also safely withdrawn, and the team leader of the black box company told the specific situation.

It's not complicated, at a small demonstration in front of the road, someone suddenly took out a large-caliber pistol from his satchel, rushed straight at the Ford SUV that was driving the road, and fired a shot without hesitation.

Fortunately, the Ford car is also a bulletproof model, and there are only some cracks on the glass, which makes the sought-after stunned for a long time, that is, in this meeting, the Chevrolet Suburban in which Wang Xinlan was riding quickly left the scene.

The sought-after man who came to his senses fired several more shots at the Ford, and then immediately blended into the crowd and fled.

The people in the Ford did not fight back, and no one got out of the car to chase after them, these things are not what the bodyguards should do, they should be solved by the police, and it is stupid and dangerous to rush down and pursue.

The police arrived quickly, and the people in the Ford revealed their identities, explained the situation, and even provided a video from the camera's inside the car, and then were allowed to leave.

Wang Xinlan's face was pale, trembling all over, and he was terrified in his heart.

In this country where guns can be legally owned, Wang Xinlan has obtained a hunting license and has his own gun, and even Sun Mei, a bodyguard next to him, often goes to shooting clubs with him to have an addiction to shooting guns.

But this is the first time there has been a shooting. Although similar cases are often broadcast in the news, it is only through personal experience that you can understand how stark the difference between an accident and a story is.

Moreover, the snatchers only attacked the car in front and did not pose any threat to the car behind.

Under Sun Mei's patient comfort, Wang Xinlan slowly calmed down and began to ponder a very real problem.

Did this sought-after choose the target of the shot immediately, or did he come at himself?

If the gunman is just to vent his anger, there are many targets on the street that can be attacked, even if the crowd of demonstrators around him is his "ally" and cannot be attacked, but there are still many elite people working on Wall Street on the street, and it is work time, there should be many targets.

Therefore, the gunman did not come to vent his anger indiscriminately, but to go for himself.

So the question arises, why did the gunman attack the car in front and not shoot after approaching the car behind?
