23. Keep the clouds open and see the moon, and the truth will be revealed!
Duan Muqing patted my hand lightly as if he noticed my abnormality. I looked at his gaze blankly, and his eyes were still staring at Guo Yuandong on the stage.
Guo Yuandong coughed dryly twice, with an embarrassed face that could not be concealed. But seeing that he quickly rolled his eyes, he immediately put down the red wine glass, and glanced at the two entourage-looking people beside him, who immediately walked towards the radio room.
The crowd whispered.
Guo Yuandong tried his best to squeeze out a smiling face, into the microphone, and as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he heard the squeaking sound of electricity again, and then, a deep and low laugh sounded.
"Hey, hey, hey, thanks to you, my little darling, if it wasn't for you risking your life to lurk in Junyin, how could I easily get their reserve price? There is also the person in charge of Tianyuan Company who is greedy for money, without him, even if I have money to bribe, I still can't find anyone! β
This time, everyone heard it clearly, and the voice was Guo Yuandong who was standing on the stage at the moment.
His complexion turned completely pale.
Then came the delicate female voice from the stereo.
"Far East, the one surnamed Duan is not as powerful as you at all! You see, I've been on their side for so long, he didn't even suspect me, that idiot, probably because he was stunned by the surname Lu! Thanks to you, you made me go to great lengths to install such a bugging device on the phone of the person surnamed Lu, and in the end, it didn't-"
"Turn it off! Hurry up and get rid of it! Guo Yuandong changed his previous calmness, and the whole person became impetuous and panicked.
"Slander! Pure slander! Shocked, he picked up a stool and smashed it straight at the stereo next to him, which bounced off the rostrum and smashed the glass lamp beside him. The shard of glass immediately bounced off some of the guests standing nearby, screaming, and the crowd began to stir, and the whole venue was instantly thrown into chaos.
At this time, I saw Guo Yuandong looking ahead blankly, suddenly stiffened, and after a pause, he ran backwards as if he was fleeing.
I followed his previous gaze, but saw several uniformed police officers chasing him in his direction. At this time, Duan Muqing beside me tightened my hand, "Xiaoxi, you wait for me here, you can't let this bastard run away anymore." β
"Mu Qing I-"
With that, he hurriedly shook off my hand, and before I could finish my sentence, I disappeared into the crowd.
I opened my mouth suddenly, and then said the words, "I'm sorry I misunderstood you." β
After saying that, I felt the big stone in my heart fall to the ground all at once.
It wasn't him!
Thankfully it's not him!
I couldn't hide the joy in my heart, and I stayed in place in a daze, laughing to myself.
I don't know when, I felt someone tugging at my sleeve, and I looked down and saw that it was the chubby little girl.
"Auntie, we meet again." She smiled sweetly.
I squatted down and stroked her little head lovingly, "Little guy, why are you the only one, your father?" β
She shook her head aggrievedly, "I was busy getting something to eat just now, and when I turned around, I saw a lot of people running around, and my dad couldn't find it." β
I pinched her chubby cheek, "Then let's go, Auntie will take you to Daddy." β
She smiled, and I picked her up. I have to say that I am used to holding my little Jiujiu, and he can always pick her up with a slight force, but this little girl, I used a lot of strength, and my waist hurt before I picked her up.
It's so heavy!
After walking through many places with such difficulty, he saw his father, who was also anxiously looking for him, at a gateway.
As soon as Tian Zhan saw her daughter, she immediately rushed towards me, snatched the child, and hugged her firmly in her arms.
I was a little unhappy, after all, I didn't do anything bad, but I was treated so roughly, and I felt a little uncomfortable. But when I looked at it again, the man who was nearly 50 years old, after hugging his child tightly, was so happy that he looked like he was in tears, and my heart trembled inexplicably, and all the displeasure disappeared in an instant.
Oh, yes! In this world, for parents, nothing is more important than children!
My little Jiujiu, you have to wake up quickly, Mom really misses you!
I smiled to myself, turned around and walked away. However, as soon as he took a step, he heard Tian Zhan behind him call urgently, "Miss Lu, please stay." β
He asked me to sit down in an accord, and the little girl in his arms fell asleep obediently after a while.
I saw him hug his daughter tightly in his arms like a baby bump, and gently comb her somewhat disheveled hair, and I couldn't help but smile, "Your daughter is so lucky to have met such a loving father as you." β
He listened to me, looked up, and smiled bitterly, "Kindness? Hehe, if you knew me 78 years ago, you wouldn't say that. β
"Oh?"
He sighed heavily, "In the past, I regarded money as my life!" Maybe I'm afraid of being poor, and I feel that I have to make a lot of money to have a sense of accomplishment. Luckily, I caught up with the good times, the money was earned, but the home was gone. β
He patted the little girl on the back gently, "I originally had a happy family, a virtuous wife, and a sensible son. When my eldest son was almost 20 years old, hehe, my wife was nearly forty years old, and she was pregnant with this little girl. β
His happy smile suddenly paused, "Just a month before our little girl was about to arrive, my son was kidnapped. Those crazy kidnappers, the price is sky-high! It's not that I don't have it, but when I think that all the money I have been given, won't I struggle in vain in this life? I have earned every penny of my money! I don't want to go back to the days when I was penniless and looked down upon, really, I don't want to go back! My first reaction was not to think about how to save my son, but how to call the police, so that the police could catch the kidnappers and rescue my son, so that I would not have to pay for it! β
As he spoke, he shook his head to himself, "Finallyβ" The corners of his mouth twitched faintly, "The police helped me find my son, but... It's already a cold corpse. I dragged it on for too long, and the kidnappers tore up the ticket in a fit of rage. When I went to see his body, I saw in his clenched hand the pendant I had given him, which was not worth much, but he still held it tightly until he died. According to the kidnappers who were later caught, my son, until the moment before he was killed, kept shouting: Daddy save me! β
He lowered his head and sobbed, "At that moment, I really felt like I wasn't a human at all, but a brute!" The one who really killed my son was not the kidnappers at all, but me! My poor son is still a year away from graduating from college, and because of my money-loving father, he will never finish his studies. β
He said hoarsely, and slowly raised his head, "I have been hiding that matter, and I dare not tell the old woman, but she finally knows." At that time, she had just given birth to this little girl and was doing confinement. After getting the truth, she cried to death, and before the little girl turned a year old, she died of depression. A good home, just scattered. Only I and this little girl are left to depend on each other, so I carefully spoil her and take care of her, others say that I am taking care of her, but in fact, they don't know, it is this little girl who is taking care of me, without her sustenance, I would have no courage to live for a long time. Over the years, I have slowly realized a lot and changed a lot! Really, Miss Lu, in this world, there is nothing more precious than people, especially those who treat you sincerely! There are many things that we will see as more important than the person in front of us! In fact, how stupid it is, if you want me to say, what is hard to buy in this world is a sincere heart. Nothing else, it doesn't matter! My business has become bigger over the years, even if I am already this dignity, there are still more people who want to give me a hug, but I always feel that there will never be a woman like my wife who really likes me again! β
He looked at me indifferently, "Miss Lu, seeing that I'm a broken old man crying when I'm old, you should laugh." β
I shook my head, so sad that I couldn't say a word.
When I said goodbye to him, he said in a deep voice, "Miss Lu, cherish the people in front of you." β
I nodded knowingly and headed straight down the hall.
I looked left and right for a while, but I didn't see Duan Muqing's figure, and I panicked all of a sudden, could it be that something was wrong!
I hurriedly took out the phone, but I dialed several times in a row, and the phone was temporarily unanswered.
Just when I was so anxious that the six gods had no master, the golden venue suddenly darkened, and the whole world suddenly became pitch black.
"What's going on? Is there a power outage? Anyone? Feed! Anyone? β
I yelled in a panic, but didn't respond.
Just as I was about to turn on the flashlight on my phone to take a look, I heard the faint sound of footsteps in my ears.
My hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably.
What to do? Is this flashlight on or not? It's better not to open it, what if as soon as I turn it on, the person jumps up to follow the light?
As soon as I thought about it, I felt someone suddenly pounce on me, and before I could react, the whole person was tightly clamped, and I screamed in a heart-rending rage, feeling like I was about to die.
