56 Parting with life and death
Lin Li woke up naturally from sleep, and when he woke up, he didn't see Xiao Huai, only saw the breakfast and a note in the kitchen: "I went to Dongsheng to see Ji Yunchong, there are some things that need to be negotiated with him in person, and I will be back soon." โ
Lin Li stared at the note for a long time, then picked up a cup of freshly squeezed tomato and apple juice on the dining table and took a sip.
Tomatoes are rich in vitamins, apples have the effect of cleaning up the stomach, and the combination of the two can improve physical strength, which is a must-eat food for her every day. Maybe it was because she put too many tomatoes today, the juice tasted sour, the scarlet color looked like blood, and she suddenly lost her appetite.
I don't know why, she was a little unsettled, on the one hand, she felt that Xiao Huai was looking for Ji Yunchong to discuss in detail because of the matter of the water army, and on the other hand, she felt that the truth was not so simple.
She thought of many things. Ji Yunchong's father's report when his plane crashed, the news of the sharp drop in Merrill Lynch's stock price, and the German investment bank's doubts about the source of funds of Dongsheng Group during the merger and acquisition dispute between China and Western Pharmaceutical.
Suddenly, she remembered what Ji Yunchong had said when she and Ji Yunchong had an argument in Munich.
"There are many things that you don't understand, I'm not as beautiful as I seem on the surface, and it's not easy...... My father died suddenly, I didn't leave a will, my mother went crazy again, and I was alone...... I'm ...... alone."
Lin Li simply understood these words as grievances at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he can't help but feel that Ji Yunchong may have done something shady and was caught by Xiao Huai.
So, Xiao Huai went to negotiate with Ji Yunchong alone, will there be an accident?
Xiao Huai's phone was always busy, and Lin Li thought about it and decided to go to him. Considering that today's situation is relatively special, she chose to drive herself for the first time.
The car went straight to the office address of Dongsheng Group in Shanghai, and on the way she tried to call Xiao Huai's mobile phone, but found that it could not be dialed, and it seemed that the mobile phone had lost its signal.
Lin Li's whole heart became tangled, and he slammed the throttle to increase the speed of the car.
Arriving in Dongsheng, she went to the front desk to ask Xiao Huai if he was visiting. At this time, the landline rang, and the reception staff at the front desk picked up the phone and said a few words, and after hanging up the phone, he said to her: "Miss Lin, the person you are looking for is in the chairman's office." โ
Lin Li took a special elevator to the top floor, and as soon as he got out of the elevator, he was the chairman's office. The office is very large, and the first thing that catches your eye is the whole wall of photos, which are all the awards and accolades that Dongsheng Group has received in the past two years or so, and one of them is particularly eye-catching, several financial institutions have selected Dongsheng as the top 10 lowest-risk performing stocks in Greater China.
The secretary brought Lin Li into the reception room. There is a row of bright floor-to-ceiling windows with a wide view, and when you look down, you can see many visitors entering and exiting Dongsheng.
Lin Li waited for more than half an hour, neither Ji Yunchong nor Xiao Huai, so he asked the secretary: "May I ask when the conversation between Mr. Xiao and Director Ji will end?" โ
"When you came, Xiao Huai had just left." A deep voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Lin Li was stunned, turned her head, and saw that the door leading to the office area in the reception room was opened, and Ji Yunchong walked out slowly, her cold gaze swept over her face without any pause.
Lin Fei suddenly realized that he had been tricked, and turned around to leave without saying a word, but the secretary took the first step to exit and closed the other door of the reception room from the outside.
In the enclosed space, only Lin Li and Ji Yunchong remained.
Ji Yunchong opened his mouth, and his voice revealed an indescribable depression: "Run away as soon as you see me, are you afraid of me?" โ
Lin Li didn't pay attention, and patiently knocked on the door a few more times, and saw that no one responded and made it clear that he wanted to trap her here, so he took out his mobile phone to contact Xiao Huai.
Ji Yunchong watched her dial, a trace of anger gradually appeared on his face, he suddenly snatched the phone and threw it against the wall, clamped her shoulders with both hands and pressed the person against the door: "What kind of place do you think of here, come if you want, leave if you want?" โ
His fingers were cold, and he even shivered unusually, and his eyes were sharp and fierce, as if he had been stimulated by something and was angry for a moment, but this stimulus was obviously not caused by her.
Lin Li was stunned.
"After you met Xiao Huai, you never gave me a good look again." He lowered his voice steeply, "It's good today, you and Xiao Huai have come to my territory one after another to show off their martial arts and show affection?" โ
Lin Li's shoulders were so painful that he pushed Ji Yunchong, which invisibly added a little to his anger.
He raised her chin with one free hand, forcing her to look him in the eye: "I hate the people around me for betraying me the most, did you reveal something to Xiao Huai, otherwise how would he know about the things I have done?" โ
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't know? Are you a three-year-old child? You followed Xiao Huai to Dongsheng, weren't you worried about what I would do to him? That's right, I did send someone to follow Xiao Huai, and he is now driving up the north-south elevated road. โ
Faced with a series of questions and intimidation, Lin Li suddenly reacted to Xiao Huai and Ji Yunchong's conversation and broke up unhappily. Now that she came here, it was tantamount to bumping into Ji Yunchong's muzzle, which angered him.
An ominous premonition crossed her heart: "Why are you following Xiao Huai?" What do you want to do with him? โ
These words are equivalent to burning and refueling, Ji Yunchong sneered angrily.
The panic in Lin Li's heart suddenly magnified, and he looked at Ji Yunchong incredulously: "You can only hate me, why do you want to target Xiao Huai again and again?" โ
"I'm targeting Xiao Huai? Obviously, Xiao Huai is targeting me. I like you, you're here to snatch you. My target was Chinese and Western Pharmaceuticals, and he kept sabotaging my M&A plans. You know better than anyone how much I hate the shameless people who killed my father. โ
"I understand your desire for revenge, but I can't agree with your practice of transferring personal grievances to the company. Xiao Huai is only entrusted by the customer to stand on the opposite side of you, and it is never aimed at you personally. As for me and you...... We've been separated for too long, and we know each other well since we were students, so we don't fit each other for a long time. Lin Li said this, and his tone weakened slightly, "For the sake of us growing up together, don't embarrass Xiao Huai." โ
She thought she could move Ji Yunchong, but his next words unceremoniously shattered her hopes.
"You only now know that it's for the sake of growing up together? Then when you rejected me, why did you turn your face ruthlessly? โ
Words don't help, when one person is too obsessed, the other person can't communicate with him smoothly. Lin Li's patience also reached the limit, and he asked unceremoniously: "What is the difference between you trapping me here now and those bastards who kidnapped your mother and coerced you into handing over the recording evidence?" โ
The tragic past was told from the mouth that knew him best, Ji Yunchong's face was extremely embarrassed, and he glared at Lin Li speechlessly.
"Yes, I did have momentary doubts about your character before I came to Tosheng. I thought I was overthinking, but you've let me down again. For your own selfishness, you have trampled on the lives of others as mistaken for them. If your father were still alive, and he would see you like this, he would regret not educating you wellโ"
The words that could not be uttered were interrupted by a clear slap.
Lin Li's fair cheeks had distinct five finger prints, tears in his eyes, and he looked at Ji Yunchong stubbornly.
Anger, fear, regret, many complex emotions flashed in Ji Yunchong's eyes, he looked at the red marks on Lin Li's face, the hand that slapped her stopped in the air for a long time, slowly hanging down to his side, and gathered into a fist.
He uttered a vague monophonic word from the depths of his throat: "Get out." โ
Lin Fei didn't really hear it until he repeated it in a dumb voice, and she reacted and slammed on the door.
As soon as the door opened, she picked up her phone and rushed out without looking back, running to the elevator room.
Ji Yunchong looked at her back, and his voice was hoarse and slow: "Lin Li." โ
She stopped, but didn't look back.
The atmosphere in the space was depressing and gloomy, and his chest was filled with an extremely bitter taste, but he didn't speak again, and changed the sentence "If I really want to do something to Xiao Huai, will I wait until now?" "I endured it alive.
She shook her head with a wry smile and stepped into the elevator.
*
Lin Li returned to the car, turned on the traffic radio, and stepped on the accelerator sharply to speed up.
The mobile phone was torn apart, the touch screen was broken, and Xiao Huai could not be dialed. She was speeding down the road in a car, and the only thought in her mind was whether Xiao Huai would be in danger?
I was up and down in my heart, but at this time I heard a sudden news - a six-car rear-end collision occurred on the XX section of the north-south elevated road.
Lin Li panicked and hurriedly drove onto the elevated road. When she took the overtaking lane, she didn't notice that a silver sports car was changing lanes behind her at the same time, following closely behind her.
Lin Li was about to overtake, but the sports car came from behind and tried to overtake her - her car went to the right, the sports car went to the left, the two cars collided in an instant, her car jerked off, and the front of the car hit the barrier hard, sinking in. At this time, a bus came at high speed, braking sharply but unable to avoid it, and collided with her car again!
The rear of the car was completely ruined.
The whole car had been severely deformed after two consecutive collisions, and Lin Li was stuck in the car and could not move.
She had no obvious injuries on her body, but she felt dizzy and had pain in her upper left abdomen. The pain then spread throughout the abdomen, especially in the left upper quadrant, as if there was an unbearable tenderness in the abdomen with every breath.
She tried to calm herself down, took a few deep breaths, and suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
Lin Li was stunned for a few seconds, and then reacted, and his spleen ruptured.
The spleen is the most vulnerable organ in the abdomen, and it is traumatically ruptured by external violence, causing internal bleeding. When the bleeding increases, the person will quickly develop symptoms of shock.
As expected, she noticed that her heart rate increased, her breathing rate increased dramatically, and a layer of cold sweat spread across her forehead, a precursor to a sudden drop in blood pressure.
Lin Li knew that she had to save herself, but her mind was getting more and more blurred, she tilted her head with great difficulty, her eyes moved to the broken windshield, and saw other car owners surrounding the car trying to rescue her, and also saw someone smashing the side window of the car with a life-saving hammer.
It's a familiar situation, like the one that happened in a car accident more than two years ago. The only difference is that there are no parents in the back seat of the car, and there is no beloved one in the passenger seat.
The nightmare that had tormented her again and again became a reality in this moment.
The pungent smell of aromatic gasoline permeated the cramped space, the vision was blurry, and the physical strength was passing little by little.
When there is only a thin line between life and death, when time and space are frozen, she is isolated and trapped at the scene of a bloody and fragmented car accident, and a small regret arises in her heart.
knew that the parting of life and death would come so suddenly, she should have drunk the cup of tomato and apple juice that Xiao Huai had squeezed herself.
A line of tears overflowed from the corners of Lin Li's eyes.
Her thick eyelashes quivered, slowly closed, and she fell into a coma.
Almost at the same time, the cracked phone vibrated faintly in the corner, and a number appeared at the top of the screen: Xiao Huai. 166 Reading Network
