Chapter Ninety-Five: Father and Son Dialogue
After the prince answered the phone, he saw his father Ning Gucheng in the corridor of the hospital, at this moment he was no longer the majestic and calm police chief, he was sitting there alone with a cigarette in his hand, and the ground was covered with discarded cigarette butts, he had quit smoking for many years.
Not far from him was hanging a sign prohibiting smoking, but at this time no one cared about this, his face was gray, depressed, and his eyes were lifeless, like an old man who no one cared about, bent his back, almost buried himself in his knees, and his originally shiny black hair was covered with gray and white overnight.
Around him, the families of the police officers who had lost their loved ones wept and howled...... Every trill was like a sharp sword cutting at his heart, as if his life was also being lost, getting colder and darker, and the shadows were like smoke around him.
The prince only felt a pain in his heart, and his eyes seemed to be fascinated by something, and his father, who was originally as majestic as a mountain, didn't know when he had begun to grow old.
He walked over, sat down beside his father silently, and said nothing, in this sad world, the two people seemed to be isolated, and they communicated with each other in silence, which was their unique way of getting along.
Ning Gucheng first broke the silence between the two of them, "Oh, is your friend okay?" β
"Hmmm......"
"Her name is Ye Zifei, right?"
"You got it?"
"Hehe, how could I not know, she is a celebrity of the Shendu police."
ββ¦β¦β
Ning Gucheng seemed to suddenly think of something, threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, then stepped on it with his foot, and said with a wry smile: "Your mother has advised me to quit smoking for many years before, and I can't tell her about this today." β
"Dad, in fact, Ye Zifei is very ...... Nice......"
"I know, otherwise I wouldn't let you associate with her, but the ability to cause trouble is not small, she is only suitable to be friends, do you know what I mean?"
The prince's face darkened. Nodding.
Ning Gucheng patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "An outstanding woman like this is not something you can control, of course I don't underestimate you." It's not okay what kind of woman the men of our Ning family want, but as a father, I still hope that you can marry a woman like your mother, keep a small family, and let men work hard outside. β
The prince kept his head down and did not speak. It seems to be resisting, and it seems to be thinking, and his eyes are a little dazed and tangled, dim and uncertain.
Ning Gucheng sighed, as a person who came over, he knew that this kind of thing was reluctant, let the children choose their own way in the future, and said, "Which ward is she in?" As an elder, I should also go and meet her......"
"She's gone!"
"What do you mean?"
"When she woke up, she sneaked out of the window alone."
ββ¦β¦β
Ning Gucheng's brows furrowed, and he immediately took out the phone. dialed the number and said, "Lei Dongsheng, Ye Zifei disappeared from the hospital, she must have found some clues, found her, and gave support." β
"Got it, Ning Ju...... What about those international criminals? β
Ning Gucheng gritted his teeth and said, "If you offend the prestige of my Heavenly Empire, you won't be killed!" β
"Just waiting for your words!"
Ning Gucheng hung up the phone, glanced at his son, and asked, "Do you know where she went?" β
The prince's eyes dodged and did not speak. Ning Gucheng pointed to the weeping family members and said, "Child, maybe one day, you and I may both die like these soldiers, and your mother will cry and grieve like them." But as a man, you should know that this is our responsibility, and it sounds like a slogan, but there really comes a day when you can stand up like them. Do you choose to die without hesitation? β
The prince raised his head and looked at his father, his face was full of freedom and fearlessness at the moment, which made the prince's heart warm.
Ning Gucheng's face immediately darkened again, and he hoarsely said, "I know about my sister, you haven't forgiven me, but how can I forgive myself, at that time, I was just like them now, I can't wait to exchange my own life for your sister, if I can come back early, even if it's just for a minute, maybe it will be different......
The prince's tears finally couldn't help flowing, "No, Dad! I never blamed you...... I...... I only hated myself for watching my sister kidnap and not doing anything about it...... I should have used myself to get my sister back from them...... It's all my fault! I hate myself! β
This past has always been a taboo in the family, and it was not until this moment that the father and son spoke their hearts.
That year, the prince was twelve years old, his sister was seven years old, Ning Gucheng was still in Lei Dongsheng's position, he was the head of the criminal police detachment, and in organizing a net collection operation, a criminal suspect escaped, who knew that he transferred his hatred to Ning Gucheng's family, and led someone to kidnap the prince's sister, and then brutally killed.
At that time, the prince watched his sister being taken away by them from a distance, and he was completely stupid, and kept dialing his father's phone, at that time, Ning Gucheng was presiding over the meeting, and his mobile phone was turned off...... And then that cute and tired sister disappeared from their lives ever after......
Two men are immersed in their own grief.
After a long while, the prince said, "Ye Zifei...... She asked me who the locomotive was sold to? β
Ning Gucheng frowned, he didn't know that his son's locomotive was sold, this was a gift that his uncle bought for him when he was admitted to college, and he was usually very precious, and asked, "Who did you sell it to?" β
"Ji Dongyang ......"
"The children of the Ji family? His sister was kidnapped and killed some time ago, that Ji Dongyang? β
"Yes."
"Why is Ye Zifei asking this?"
"Ji Dongyang has always been very close to Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu's younger brother has just died......"
Ning Gucheng suddenly raised his head, stared at the crown prince, his eyes flashed with a fine light, and said, "You mean to suspect that these international criminals were invited by them?" β
The prince said dejectedly: "I just thought of ...... too."
"What does that have to do with Ye Zifei? Wait a minute...... She's the Frozen Empress?! β
"You don't know yet?"
"I know a! No wonder......"
Ning Gucheng rubbed his face and said, "I'm going back to the bureau, you go home, don't go anywhere, take care of your mother." β
After saying that, he strode away, and returned to the previous vigorous and resolute work state, a man can tolerate a moment of weakness, but he will eventually stand up and take on everything, sometimes for the sake of the family, sometimes for the sake of this society......
The prince looked at his father's departing back, and began to ponder, he originally chose the music department, and his mother also supported his idea, only his father stubbornly let him go to the political and legal department, he said at the time: "The men of the Ning family don't learn that kind of soft thing, we should be like a sword, blocking the front......"
