Chapter 7: Piercing the Boss's Selfishness
The man didn't speak anymore when he heard this, he just lowered his head quietly, because of the painkillers, a wave of sleepiness hit, and I was still holding on, I was waiting for Wei Kai and Zheng Min to bring me good news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Time passed by minute by second, and finally the man spoke again: "I want to see my mother." ”
I turned my head to look at the boss, and the shadow of the wall hit his face, making it impossible to see his expression, but I believed that the man's wavering at this moment should make him feel better, and he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded; "Okay, but she shouldn't recognize you. She couldn't remember most of the things clearly. ”
"But as you said, he still remembers to protect me." The man insisted.
The boss didn't argue anymore, just looked up at the man and asked him when he wanted to go.
The man thought for a moment and looked at the figure at the door: "I'll get rid of those people who used to leave me, and I'll go with you." ”
"Revenge? But don't forget that one day their relatives will come to you for protection. The boss reminded him, "Do you think you'll have what it takes to protect your family?" ”
The man looked up at him and asked, "Don't you think I don't?" Or do you think I'm going to make the same mistake as my father? ”
The boss smiled: "Even if I have come to this position, I have arranged everything thoughtfully, didn't I still let you kidnap the children?" How confident can you tell me that you will protect your mother? ”
The man lowered his eyelids and asked, "How long do you want me to live?" ”
"Dead end. But now you've made things too big, you've killed someone, and the moment you have someone else's blood on your hands, I can't stop you from dying. The boss's voice sounded very cold, and a sense of unease began to spread in my heart.
I looked at the man, the man had changed from excitement just now to expressionless, but he didn't want to be as crazy as when I first met him, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "I want to go and see my mother before I die, just watch him alive from a distance." So, don't threaten me with her, I'll do what I promised you. ”
"Okay." The Boss nodded in agreement.
Just as we were about to say something more, there was a commotion outside, presumably the man was looking for someone, and the person outside the door shouted "The man has been brought." "The boss dialectically begged the man's opinion and brought the man in.
A few people pushed a few men who looked a little depressed and walked in, and the depressed men struggled to escape, but when they met the boss's eyes, their eyes instantly widened, and a frightened look leaked, and one of the downtroddens shouted at the boss out of control: "Didn't you say that as long as you don't mix with Ban Wending's original subordinates anymore, you will let us go?" ”
The boss smiled helplessly, got up and got out of the way, so that they could see me and the man clearly: "It's not me who doesn't want to let you go, do you remember him?" The boss pointed to the man.
The man who shouted loudly still looked confused at first, but when his eyes adjusted to the darkness and recognized the man's appearance, he suddenly screamed and struggled even more fiercely.
The man let go of me: "You're free." The man said this to me, and walked in the direction of the noise. After a few seconds of froze, I suddenly realized that things were clearly getting more and more wrong, and he walked over to the boss, paused, and then continued on his way. The boss walked up to me at this time, picked me up, glanced at the man, and reminded, "Don't forget what you just said." ”
The man didn't reply, the boss walked out with me in his arms, and the moment the boss stepped out of the door, a terrible scream came from the house. I looked at the boss in amazement, and the boss looked down at me: "Don't look, don't listen." ”
The screams were so loud that I could still hear the roars of the men inside and the voices of others begging for mercy as I covered my ears. "Boss." Anxious cries were heard in the distance. I followed the source of the sound and looked over: "Wei Kai." "Called Xiaozhi, not my name, and when I saw him and Zheng Min standing there, standing Banque after the earthquake, I knew that the plan had succeeded. I was secretly happy, but on the surface, I made a look of grievance, and said to Ban Que who was standing behind them, "Brother Ban Que. ”
The boss held my arm and stiffened, I believe he knew that I must be calculating something now, but still like before, in order to maintain our superficial balance, he has no way to do anything, no way to expose me, just like he had no way to stop Ban Que from hurting Xiaozhi before. He carried me to Wei Kai and them, Wei Kai was wrapped in large and small jumping belts, and he also had a band-aid on his face, but he looked good, at least he looked much better when he smiled than when he was kidnapped. I stopped my gaze on Ban Que behind them and stretched out my hand towards him: "Brother, hug." "I learned to be coquettish like Xiaozhi.
I saw the goosebumps on Wei Kai's arm all the time, and I was probably frightened by my numbness, and the smile that was good-looking just now became iron-blue. Ban Que hesitated for a second, but still picked me up: "It was terrible just now. "I wanted to pretend I was scared, to mimic the way my little finger was intimidated at first, but I knew that if I said too much, I might reveal my identity, so I didn't say a word after that. The boss arranged for us to go to a private clinic, and because of the effect of the medicine, I couldn't support it anymore and fell asleep peacefully.
When I woke up again, I was already in the hospital room. The eldest sat next to me, saw me awake and asked me, "How is it?" Is there anything else uncomfortable? ”
"Isn't there anything that doesn't hurt me, how many ribs did I break?" I looked at the boss and asked. I thought I was going to explode like a mummy, but in fact, I looked at me and I was just wrapped in some gauze.
"He didn't kill you." The boss looked at me and said when he confirmed his injury, "It's just a skin injury, the last rib is cracked, but it's not serious, and the internal organs are not very badly damaged. ”
"Someday that mouth will hurt him." I thought about his words when he was kidnapped, "However, if he hadn't had trouble provoking our kidnappers at the time, she might not have been able to escape, and your negotiation with the kidnappers would have been more difficult." ”
The Boss stopped talking when he heard this.
"Boss." I called out to him, "Boss, you're going to kill that man anyway, right?" ”
The Boss didn't deny my speculation.
"I know, you've always wanted those people to die, but because others said you weren't kind, so you didn't do it, but you just gave those elders some face. Now, it just so happens that he wants to take revenge to eradicate Zhan Ai and kill people with a knife. "I was just trying to say my guess, but who knew that it would become a disgusting taunt when it slipped into my mouth.
I thought the boss would be angry, but the boss didn't, the boss just looked at me and nodded; "There's no way around it, you might think I'm not doing it with morality, but it's something I have to do. There are too many dangers lurking around me, but I can't clean them up myself, the reasons are too many and complicated, I have to take into account the interests of many parties, but if I don't eradicate them, sooner or later they will become disasters. It's like you've been kidnapped this time. I know you've been blaming me for bringing Ban Que home and causing trouble and danger to Xiaozhi. But you know, there's no way around it, and in order to be able to convince the public, I have to make a choice that goes against my will. But when I can go to a higher position, I will have the ability to deal with these troubles around you. ”
"You didn't deal with it, you always made compromises, so these troubles that you thought were always like you couldn't end them, so you became more and more powerful unscrupulously, knowing that there was chilblains, you will find that because of your evasion, everything is out of control. Just think about the kidnapping of me, Wei Kai and Zheng Min this time, can you deny that Ban was diagnosed and did not participate in it? "I only asked the boss, I don't know why, as I got older, I couldn't accept the boss's so-called excuses and reasons. I don't know if the boss had been focusing on the big picture, and my life would have lasted a few more days.
The boss looked at me and stopped talking, he looked at me for a long time before finally saying, "Zizhi, do you really think I'm running away?" ”
I turned my head angrily and looked at the blue sky outside the window: "That's right." ”
The boss's bitter laughter sounded in his ears: "Zizhi, I'm not defending myself, but do you know why I was able to find all the people he wanted so quickly?" Have you ever wondered why I was able to talk about his mother when I was negotiating with him? And why did I know about her mother? ”
Two crows were parked on the bare branches outside the window, and they seemed to feel my gaze, and the two crows flew away, and I looked back at the boss: "So I know that one day I will be kidnapped?" That just answered me, was it Ban Que who informed us of the situation to the kidnappers this time? ”
The boss hesitated, but finally nodded: "I can't deny that Banque was involved in some of these things. ”
"Which part?" I didn't wait for the boss to finish before asking.
The boss was silent for a long time: "It was a plan implemented by her father's former subordinates that he agreed." ”
"Huh." I sneered, "Ban Que is really afraid that I won't die." Actually, the reason why you haven't been at home lately, and you can find those subordinates who used to humiliate the shift fee, is because you guessed the truth of the matter from the beginning, but you didn't expect it to happen so quickly? Actually, I should really thank the man, or the man should thank him for his impulse, am I right? Top dog. ”
The boss may have felt a little embarrassed to be poked by me, although he could already see that his face was gloomy, but he still restrained his temper: "Zizhi, you listen to me." I admit that you are partially right. Indeed, when I started receiving academics, I panicked because I didn't expect those people to start stirring up now. The reason why I didn't stop Ban Que's various plots against Xiaozhi was because I knew that it was just a teenage kid's trick, and I thought that my ability could be paid, and his quality would slowly disappear with age, but in fact, I have to admit that I was wrong. The man who added to him this hatred had been living with him, and his father's men had been trying to get close to him and come up with ideas for him, and if it weren't for the fear of being too prominent, so that I could find out the clues, and exposing myself, I believe they would have attacked you a long time ago. So the last time Ban Que poisoned you, I began to notice their movements, and it was at that time that I found out that Ban Que had really been under the influence of his father's subordinates, especially after he started college, and the knots between them became more frequent. But I thought that he was already half-detached from this home, so I always felt that it was affected, but away from you, you were safe. But what I didn't expect was that he left the house to keep himself safe in case something happened to you. ”
The Boss stopped here and looked at me silently. I didn't make any answer, just looked back at him with a blank face, the boss's words were actually guessed in my heart, but I believe he couldn't just want to say these things that the two of us already knew, I blinked and motioned for the boss to continue.
The boss handed me the apple in the shape of a rabbit in the small town, and continued, "I agree with your urge to thank Banfei for her, and in fact it is, although you have suffered a lot in the process of kidnapping, he does have a share of the credit for saving you." ”
I 'clicked' at the apple and looked at the boss suspiciously, but I didn't expect that the foolish words I said after saying thank you kidnappers just because I was dizzy would have a time to come true. I looked at the boss suspiciously, and asked why.
The boss looked at me and explained, "Their goal in the first place was to deal with you personally. When the boss said this, he glanced at me, and I was a little panicked when I heard this explanation for the first time. I looked at the boss and his eyes changed from cold and mocking just now to more than a little surprise.
The boss continued: "After they revealed his address, they knew that we were heavily guarded here, so they let him test our reaction, and test me to see if they were behind the scenes, they actually wanted to provoke me to find them, so that when you lose my protection, they can smoothly take you away, kill them one by one, and then blame the person who wrote the letter." According to their plan, I was supposed to be with them at the time, so I indirectly couldn't do anything to them, and pushed it on the kidnappers, making it difficult for me to ride the tiger. If you take a stake in Yu Hai, as long as they give enough evidence to explain that it is him or something, there is no way for our bureau to make a decision not to kill him. Even if I don't make such a decision, someone will kill her in my name, saying that it is to avenge you, so that they can solve all the stumbling blocks that may cause them trouble in the future. In that case, only Ban Que and Jin Hao will be left among the heirs. Jin Hao didn't care about these foods, and he felt guilty that Ban Que's father died at the hands of his father, if one day let the two of them fight for power, I think Jing Hao would definitely give it up. As for Jinghao's father, his son did not cooperate with his words and forced his son to be shoehorned into him, and there were only two scenarios, her son was killed, or his son directly handed over power to Banque. The ending is destined to be the same, so if it weren't the son of the mysterious man who helped you today, you would have died a long time ago, and they wouldn't have given you any chance to save yourself. So, even though I thought about who was going to kill you, I couldn't stop him, thinking that stopping him would only put you in greater danger. The moment I saw the letter and the word 'die', I knew it was him who was not at fault. Besides, because of my guilt for my brother, I have been following her, and I know that he will one day be used and will come back for revenge. ”
"What's going on with his mother?" I thought of the conversation between the boss and the man in the place where I was kidnapped.
The boss smiled bitterly: "His mother?" The moment they knew that their children had witnessed their father being killed, they understood what was going on. So I found an opportunity to contact us. She knew that she would die after all, and he was telling your dad on the phone that those crazy people Vera and their plans would not let them go, so she begged your dad to find a way to protect her son no matter what, even if it was for the sake of the mystery man, after all, the mystery man was calculated because he chose to be on our side. ”
"Xiaozhi's father promised him?" I have some chances that the boss will call that man my father, after all, when I appeared, he had disappeared from this world, and I hadn't even seen him, so when I heard others call him my father, I was repulsed in my heart, and I always felt that I had robbed Xiaozhi of a treasure that I couldn't snatch.
The boss looked at me and was stunned for a moment, then sighed and changed his words: "That's right, the little folded father agreed to him and helped him think of countermeasures." I've said the rest of the story, without exaggeration, but his mother was dead, but the bullet didn't kill her. It may be because of the location, the bullet entered the skull from above the side brow bone, but the bullet did not hurt the important structures of the craniofacial area, but stayed in the nasal cavity, but if it was cheaper, it would only allow his mother to live for a few hours at most in timely treatment. But the doctor who operated on her also thought it was amazing, and she was a big woman. Originally, everyone's purpose at that time was just to let her live for a few more hours, and try to rely on willpower to arrange things behind her. But in fact, she survived and has been protecting her son like a shadow. That woman's life was very hard, because of death, so she no longer had an identity, and if she wanted to live, she resumed her career as a killer, but because of the bullet in the head, her reaction was incomparable to before, in short, she had a long and very difficult time before I found her. However, because she was secretly protecting, her son transferred to the military school safely. But when I found her, her brain was so damaged that after seeing me, she even thought I was going to kill her son. When I finally brought her back for treatment, his spirit was good and bad, but because my side had stabilized, it meant that I was capable enough to protect her son, and she was quiet and cooperated with the treatment. But she has been tortured for too long, all the treatment is in vain for her, and the motivation that has always supported her to live is to be able to see the end of the matter. ”
"So you're rooting for his revenge?" I looked at the boss and asked him.
The boss nodded and admitted: "I'm not a good person, and I will also use the trick of killing people with a knife." But I'm just using him to eradicate my henchmen, I'm not talking about those minions, those minions are just a warning to Banque's side. Warn them that even if I let them go, they are still under my watch, and if they make a mistake, they will end up with the same fate as their men. But, that's why I have to kill your kidnappers. ”
"Is it because you're afraid that they will reproach you?" I kind of understood what the boss said.
The boss replied with some pain on his face: "That's right, I must give an explanation to the person who killed them, even if it wasn't my hand." ”
I shifted my position, pretending to throw away the applebeard, approached the boss and whispered, "But you won't really kill him, will you?" ”
"By the way, what about them?" I realized that it was just me and my boss in the hospital room for half a day.
The boss glanced at his watch: "Ah, they went out to eat, and after such a big thing, a few children also laughed badly, so I asked people to take them to eat, rest assured, the person who took them to eat was Xiaozhi's father's old subordinate, a trustworthy person." But after something like this, I don't think they should have any more ideas about beating you for the time being. So be an ordinary high school student with peace of mind, go to school hard, and get into a good school. Your dad wants you to be able to live a secure life. ”
"I want to, too." I lay back on my hospital bed, "But Banque didn't want to, so I had to fight." If he is gone, I am also willing to live an ordinary life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea every day. ”
The boss didn't speak again, as long as it was related to me and Ban Que, he was always habitually silent. I know that he has his difficulties, he can take care of the overall situation, and he can prevent it from happening, but he can't reconcile the deeper contradictions that have been in the hearts of the two of us for a long time. I closed my eyes, not wanting to argue with the boss over the subject anymore, and when I was about to fall asleep, the boss's palm touched my forehead, and I heard him sigh. I know there's really nothing he can do about the situation he is in. "I'm sorry I didn't keep the life you wanted, I'm sorry." I didn't want to embarrass him, so I pretended to be asleep and didn't respond.
Thankfully, when I woke up again, it was still me who controlled the body, but I could clearly feel that Xiaozhi's consciousness was waking up, but it was hiding in my subconscious as if it didn't want to come out. I was lying in the hospital bed, the boss went to buy me food, there was no one in the ward, I buried myself in the quilt, leaving a slit so that I could observe the situation at the door. "Xiaozhi." I whispered.
"Hmm." Xiaozhi's voice appeared next to my ears, soft, and he didn't wake up.
"Don't be afraid, it's over." I explained the situation to her first, "You know what? Today, it was Ban Que who carried you all the way. "I lured the innocent her into taking the bait.
"Really?" I heard her voice clear, it must have been the sudden good news that had awakened him from his subconscious, right? I knew very well that I had an injury, and if I continued to talk to him, it might not last long, and I would have to fall asleep again, and the next time I woke up, I probably wouldn't be so lucky, so I hurried to implement my plan. "Well, he's distressed, though." I said, "He is very distressed about your kidnapping, and he is also very distressed about his own affairs. ”
"What distress." Xiaozhi's voice sounded a little confused, "Did I trouble him again?" ”
"It's not." I denied, "Do you remember what you heard when you were kidnapped, about your family? ”
Xiaozhi's voice sounded a little lower: "I still remember." But even then, I don't believe my dad would do something so inauthentic. Dad has always been very protective of children, so the cruel act must not have been done by Dad. ”
Afraid that he would get into the horns, I hurriedly echoed: "Yes, I just confirmed that it was not your father who did that thing, someone was wronging your father." ”
"Really?" His voice became clearer.
"Really. Otherwise, how could the kidnappers let you go. Now that you have been relieved of the danger, but your brother Banque is in danger, do you want to help him? "I know Xiaozhi has taken the bait. 、
Sure enough, there was panic in her voice: "Why, what is the danger?" ”
I smiled: "Let me ask you, do you think Wei Kai and Zheng Min panicked when they were kidnapped?" ”
"I don't think so." Xiaozhi's voice sounded a little embarrassed, "I was so frightened that I couldn't notice the situation around me anymore. ”
"But when you know someone is going to hurt you, do you think the rest of you panicked?" I asked her then.
"Nope."
"Fool, do you know why they don't feel nervous, because they have so many things like this, but you're about to become a burden to them now, ah. I forgot to tell you, but the reason Wei Kai called me away was to tell me the real situation in this family. I began to coax her, "Including you, your parents used to be members of the same organization, but something happened that cost them their lives, so you were all adopted by the boss, for fear that someone would cut the grass and hurt you." Originally, you could have lived your life in peace and quiet, but God did not fulfill people's wishes, and someone knew that you were still alive, so you should think about it, will he let you go? Definitely not. So, the other children have long been prepared to protect themselves, but you, the boss protects you too well, and the person who continues to look up to the kidnapper is very well protected by her father. If you are just a descendant of an ordinary person, you are a little ignorant of the world, but don't forget, your family was not an ordinary person during your lifetime, so your innocence will eventually harm the people around you. Now, you need to make a decision. I deliberately stopped here, waiting for Xiaozhi's answer.
"What decision?" I heard Xiaozhi's voice tremble a little and said, "As long as I can help my brother, I will promise you." ”
I was finally relieved, and my Yili was also fading little by little, and I tried my last bit of strength and said, "Xiaozhi, let's go with the flow." ”
I didn't have time to hear Xiaozhi's promise, and I fell into darkness completely. This time I feel that I have been in the dark for a long time, maybe it is because I think I am completely relieved, or it may be because I have experienced a bad battle, I have unscrupulously allowed myself to be deposited in Xiaozhi's spiritual world for a long time and have not woken up, but even in my sleep, I can still feel that Xiaozhi is reconstructing her spiritual world, she is slowly accepting reality, she is slowly letting herself invade the darkness. 'I want to help my brother', this is a sentence I have heard repeatedly in her inner world, even if there are a hundred unwilling causes, as long as the reason to do it is Banque, even if there is a cliff in front of me, I believe that she will jump without hesitation. I'm sorry Ash, but I took advantage of your love for Ban Que and became my eyeliner by Ban Que's side like the boss planted eyeliner in his father's place, Xiaozhi. I've decided to live in this world in your place.
By the time I started to regain my consciousness, Xiaozhi had already been completely pulled into the water by me, and he was about to be discharged from the hospital. It turned out to be Ban Que who accompanied her out of the hospital, and she wanted to find out from Xiaozhi's mouth whether she had inadvertently mentioned anything when the mysterious man's son kidnapped her that day. I really didn't guess wrong, when the boss went to the discharge office to settle, Ban Que began to ask Xiaozhi about the situation that day, but because I was the one who handled the situation at the time, Xiaozhi actually didn't know anything, it could only tell Ban Que that day that she heard about her life experience from the kidnapper, but there was this topic in the industry, Xiaozhi suddenly looked at Ban Que very seriously: "Brother Ban Que, I don't want to be a burden to you." ”
Ban Que was obviously a little confused by Xiaozhi's words, and he looked at Xiaozhi as if he couldn't understand what she was saying. However, he still pretended to comfort Xiaozhi: "How can you be a burden to me?" ”
"But it's just me who doesn't know what's going on, do I? Min Min, Wei Kai, they all know why we were kidnapped, so they won't panic, they won't irritate the kidnappers, and I will only cry at the time, it will only make the kidnappers more angry, if my brother is growing, I can't help anything, maybe the kidnappers are annoying each other, maybe they will do something out of the ordinary, if I think that these things hurt my brother, I will definitely not forgive myself. Xiaozhi looked at Ban Que very seriously, "So I want to help, I must have taken measures to these things a long time ago, but I am not included in this countermeasure, right?" (To be continued.) )
