Chapter 53: Choice, Who Ends Up Abandoned
Guan Luo didn't look at the two women tied to the pillar from beginning to end, but turned to Chi Feng, who was holding a gun.
"Uncle Feng, if you want to think that I moved Fan Lili, I have nothing to say, but if you really hurt one of them today, you don't want to walk out of this house safely!" Guan Luo was just stating a fact to him. The words are sincere and gentle, but there is a murderous aura in the spirit.
Chi Feng snorted and looked at the man in front of him who was nearly twenty years younger than himself.
"Guan Jiu, everyone thinks that you have a kind face, but in fact, you are the most ruthless in the entire Jiurong Terrace, otherwise you would not be able to sit in this position, so I don't plan to go back alive if I have the courage to come today!"
Chi Feng's resentment accumulated in his heart for so many years is not just a Fan Lili.
He entered Jiurongtai at the age of nineteen, and followed the old man to fight all the way, and the old man also valued him very much, everyone felt that Jiurongtai would sooner or later reach Chi Feng's hands, and even he himself had always felt so, but who would have expected that the old man would gradually begin to alienate him. Especially after Ah Xi was born. Guan Zhaorong directly transferred Chi Feng to Yunnan.
Yunnan is 108,000 miles away from Yunling, and it seems that he was sent to the frontier all of a sudden, Chi Feng was not convinced, and went to Guan Zhaorong for this matter, but Guan Zhaorong appeased him, saying that Yunnan is a border land. There are too many conflicts of interest, and there must be someone close to him in this place to take care of him to rest assured.
Chi Feng also believed it at that time, and he worked as a principal in Yunnan for a few years, but gradually began to realize that something was wrong.
Soon after he went to Yunnan, Guan Luo became the head of Yunling, and even Guan Zhaorong began to hand over the affairs of the gang to Guan Luo little by little.
Guan Zhaorong died of illness four years ago, and before his death, he made a will to officially hand over Jiurongtai to Guan Luo to take over.
Guan Luo was 28 years old that year, and he actually sat on the top spot of Jiurong Platform overnight, and there were many uncles and uncles in charge of each hall below, and he couldn't serve the public with this qualification at all, and the most disturbing of them should be Chi Feng.
"I've been following the old man for almost 30 years, even if I don't have merit, I have hard work, what reason does he have to kick me to Yunnan? What's the reason to hand over Yun Ling's position as the head of the matter to you, a hairy boy? ”
Chi Feng was not convinced. This is something that the entire Jiurongtai knows, and Guan Luo also knows that this account will have to be settled with him sooner or later.
"Okay, since you are going through the old accounts, then I will settle the accounts with you!" Guan Luo took a few steps in front of Chi Feng, "Do you know why the old man handed over Yun Ling's position as the head of affairs to me back then?" ”
Chi Feng "snorted" again: "He's old and confused!" ”
"Wrong, on the contrary, the older the old man gets, the clearer he can see! He knows that you are too greedy, and you didn't hide it from him when you were in Yunling, but the old man has always turned a blind eye to you in your relationship with him for so many years, but not only did you not repent, but you intensified! ”
"It's a fart!" Chi Feng refused to admit that he had a problem, "Jiurongtai is only here today by making money by committing crimes, from the root we are a group of bandits, Guan Zhaorong is the leader of the bandits, which bandit leader have you seen suddenly change his sex?" Even if he wanted to wash his hands, he couldn't pull us into the water! ”
In Chi Feng's belief. Those who make money but don't make it are fools, so Guan Zhaorong had a big difference of opinion with him in the later period, which is also one of the reasons why he was sent to Yunnan.
But when a person is caught in the whirlpool of interests, all he has money in his eyes, and it is difficult for you to wake him up.
Chi Feng looked at Guan Luo with a cold face: "I know that you have always regarded me as a thorn in your side, you haven't moved me in the past few years because you didn't catch my handle, but now it's different, now you have evidence of my dealings with Su Hongzhi in your hand, you can use the gang rules to make a fuss about me, so even if I take the post and get to Yunling on time this time, my fate will not be anywhere!" ”
Chi Feng decided that Guan Luo would definitely get rid of him, and this time Fan Lili and the child in her womb had two lives, so she took this move.
Anyway, if he dies or not, he has to peel off a layer of skin before he dies!
"Okay, don't talk so much nonsense!" Chi Feng didn't want to talk to Guan Luo about these useless truths anymore, and now he had no way out, so he could only move forward.
"Choose, which of these two women do you want to keep?"
This multiple-choice question was once again thrown in front of Guan Liu.
Guan slightly sneered, and said in a roundabout way: "Uncle Feng, why do you want to get to the point of fighting each other? You just think that I will move your interests in Yunnan, if you release them today, I promise to let you go back to Kunming safely, and I will never happen to you and Su Hongzhi! ”
"Guan Jiu, are you coaxing me as a three-year-old child?" Chi Feng naturally didn't believe in such a promise, and his resentment was thick to a certain extent, and what he was thinking about was how to make the other party hurt, and the more painful the better.
"I don't really care too much about Fan Lili's life, there are many women anyway, I can change one in minutes if Fan Lili dies, but the piece of meat in her stomach is my life, how many years have I been looking forward to such a one?"
Chi Feng is old and has a son, this kind of expectation and pain is not something that ordinary people can bear, and when he talked about this, his voice became fierce again, his eyes were like torches, and he raised his gun at Tang Jingcheng and Lou Qingxiao.
"No matter what, I want to keep one of these two women today, and I want you Guan Jiu to taste the pain of losing your beloved!" Chi Feng's emotions suddenly became excited, and once the hateful person smelled the murderous aura, his eyes seemed to be full of blood.
Guan Luo knew that he couldn't hide today, so he turned around and looked at the people on the pillar.
Lou Qingxiao's face was quite calm, but because both legs were wearing prostheses, forcibly standing for a long time aggravated the pain in her body, so that cold sweat oozed from her forehead.
As for Tang Jingcheng, Guan Luo rubbed his fingers silently, and didn't look at her from beginning to end, as if she was an insignificant person.
"Don't bother, choose!" Chi Feng urged.
Guan Luo suddenly chuckled: "Uncle Feng's game is really a bit boring, isn't it too cheap to put these two women together for me to choose?" As we all know, Qingxiao has been with me for many years, and if it wasn't for her leg accident, we would have been married three years ago. ”
Guan Luo said this and stopped, his eyes looked at Lou Qingxiao gently but firmly, the two looked at each other in silence for a few seconds, and then he turned to Tang Jingcheng, but the tenderness in his eyes was all gone, replaced by disdain and coldness.
"As for her..."Guan slightly snorted lightly, "I admit that this woman has slept with me, but sleeping with her does not mean that I have feelings for her, man, when I am in a good mood, I will not refuse to send anyone to the door." ”
"Hahaha..."Chi Feng laughed out loud for a while, "Guan Jiu, Guan Jiu, should I say that you are single-minded or promiscuous?" It's just that I pity this Miss Tang, who was tied up by me for nothing, are you going to ask me to take her life in front of her? ”
Guan slightly snorted coldly: "It's Uncle Feng who wants to play such a boring game, but if the two of them choose for me, I will naturally choose Qingxiao!" ”
"Okay, happy!" Chi Feng roared, and glanced at the subordinate next to him, "Go, go and untie the lame one on the left!" ”
Soon someone ran over, and Lisuo untied the rope from Lou Qingxiao's body.
Guan Luo immediately strode over, as soon as the rope was untied, Lou Qingxiao was paralyzed because of the loss of support, and her prosthetic limbs were weak, Guan Luo circled her waist and wanted to help her up, but he heard a clear sound of bullets being loaded, and when he turned around, he saw that the black muzzle of the cave was already facing Tang Cheng next to him.
"No!"
"Bang!"
Guan Luo's roar and gunfire rang out at the same time, and the huge impact of the bullet passed through Tang Jingcheng's body.
The moment he turned around, he clearly saw Tang Jingcheng's elk-like eyes, the pupils were focused, the mist was dissipating, and the pain of skin and flesh penetrating penetrated her whole body at that moment, but she couldn't cry out for pain except for her body trembling violently, and her teeth were all bitten on the cloth in her mouth......
When you came, my world lit up, and it turned out that she was lying to herself.
"Tang Jingcheng!"
Guan Xiao roared, put down Lou Qingxiao in his arms, and ran over there......
Suddenly, there was a jumble of footsteps on the stairs, and for a moment there were gunshots.
"Guan Jiu, you me!" Chi Feng knew that it was not good, but by the time he reacted, it was too late.
The manpower he laid downstairs has been knocked down by the people brought by Ye Tan, Guan Luo can't really be stupid enough to come and die single-handedly, as long as there is a gunshot in the building, Ye Tan will do it.
Besides, those people under Chi Feng's hands are also from Jiurongtai after all, and they may not be desperate for him when they really move their character.
Soon the people on the stairs rushed in, and when he was at the end of his rope, Chi Feng just wanted to save his life, he used a few of his subordinates around him to cover, ran to the back window and jumped down.
Behind the building there are several camphor trees, which have grown for a few years and have grown densely, and under the trees is an overgrown meadow.
When Ye Qin chased to the back window, Chi Feng had already slipped from the camphor branches to the muddy ground, so angry that Ye Qin shot down several times in a row, but the shade of the trees was lush, and those shots did not hit Chi Feng's vital point, and he escaped from behind with his arms in his arms.
"Call an ambulance, call an ambulance!"
In the chaos, only Guan Luo's almost hoarse roar was heard, and several of Chi Feng's remaining subordinates had been eliminated, and Ye Qin ran back to Guan Luo's side.
Guan Luo had already untied Tang Jingcheng, who was covered in blood, from the pillar, as soon as the rope was loosened, her whole body was as soft as if a bone had been pulled out, Guan Luo hugged her back and hugged her and sat on the ground together, pulling off the cloth that stuffed her mouth.
"Tang Jingcheng." Guan Luo shouted.
The person in her arms breathed freely, but her eyes were always fixed on the man holding her, but she couldn't say a word, only tears fell down the corners of her eyes one by one.
Guan Luo felt that it was better for someone to take his life with a knife, Tang Jingcheng's gaze, like denunciation, and like stubbornness, was sharper than any blade.
Or that he would rather have that shot on himself, than holding Tang Jingcheng, who was covered in blood, like now, and he didn't even have the courage to shout at her.
"Lao Jiu, I've already called 120, but this place is far away from the emergency center, and there are no roads around, and it's difficult for ambulances to drive in.
When did Guan Luo panic like he does now?
"She can't die!"
"Yezi, you go drive!"
"Tang Jingcheng, you look at me, if you die here today, I will let Tang Ji go to your funeral tomorrow!"
The words were all messed up by him, but he didn't know where Chi Feng's shot was.
"Shh
With such a black, white and red, a strong visual impact, Lao Mai only felt that his throat was tight, and he didn't dare to look at it.
Guan Luo gently put Tang Jingcheng on the ground, quickly took off his shirt, and wrapped it around her heart.
At that time, Tang Jingcheng's pupils had already begun to dilate, and after Guan Xiao finished wrapping up, he grabbed her hand tightly, wanting to say something, but his voice was blocked by his hoarse throat.
Tang Jingcheng has been watching him from beginning to end, and she is using the resentment in her heart to support her belief in staying up.
She is already a person who has been abandoned once, when Qiu Qiguan betrayed her, she didn't know that Qiu Qiguan died in a car accident, and she only saw a cold corpse when she arrived at the scene.
Now that she was given up by another man in her life for the second time, this time she seemed to be lucky, at least she witnessed the whole process of being abandoned by him.
He chose Lou Qingxiao in front of her, and she was bulleted through her body in front of him.
Tang Jingcheng lay in Guan Luo's arms, felt all this with her own eyes, could hear his heartbeat and roar, and could smell the bloody breath emitted from the wound, and the pain in his body was sharp, but all the organs and nerves became extremely sharp at that time, so keen that she remembered every look of Guan Luo, especially the disdain and coldness of the glance when he chose Lou Qingxiao.
The ambulance finally arrived after about 20 minutes.
Guan Luo ran eleven floors with Tang Jingcheng in her arms, and she leaned her head against his chest, her heartbeat at every step was heard in her ears until the stretcher lifted her into the car, and her mouth and nose were covered with oxygen.
Guan Luo sat next to the stretcher bed in the ambulance and kissed her cold hand, he couldn't make a sound from his throat anymore, just kept rubbing Tang Jingcheng's fingers.
The shade of the trees outside the car window swayed by one by one, and the setting sun was dazzling.
The person on the bed finally slowly closed his eyes, tears condensed on her curled eyelashes like beads, Guan was slightly exhausted, and held Tang Jingcheng's hand and hung his head.
……
The operation went from dusk to black.
Ye Qin quickly rushed to the emergency center after sending Lou Qingxiao back, but only saw Lao Mai sitting alone at the door of the operating room.
"Where's Brother Jiu?" Ye Qin asked.
Lao Mai hugged his neck and sighed, but he didn't speak.
Ye Qin was anxious: "You squeak, what about the Ninth Brother?" ”
Lao Mai turned his head and pointed to the security door at the end of the corridor: "I've been squatting there for hours." ”
Ye Qin turned her head and was about to go over, but Lao Mai grabbed her: "What are you going to do?" ”
"I'll go see him!"
"At this time, you are looking for scolding, okay, sit down obediently for me!" Lao Mai reminded, but Ye Tan's temper just didn't listen, she shook her arm.
"I'm going!"
Before Ye Tan walked to the security door, he had already smelled the strong smell of smoke, Guan Luo sat on the stairs, with his back to Ye Tan, and he was still wearing the short-sleeved T when he hugged Tang Jingcheng, the blood stains on the T-shirt had dried up, and the smell of smoke was mixed with blood.
"Brother Nine..."
Just his back made Ye Tan a little afraid to squeak, but after the squeak, the people on the steps didn't seem to react, so Ye Tan was a little bold and adjusted his tone.
"Sister Qingxiao has already gone back, I asked Sister Xin to take care of her, and someone has been sent to take care of it in the western suburbs, but Chi Feng didn't catch it, I guess he fled to the mountains behind the western suburbs, but Brother Jiu, don't worry, he should have been shot by me, I will continue to send to find it, after I find it..."
"Bring him to me when you find him!" Guan Luo's voice was a little faint in the gloomy staircase.
Ye Qin's mind trembled, but the man in front of him suddenly got up from the steps, and half of the cigarette butt in his hand was thrown to the ground by him, and he turned around after crushing it.
"If something happens to Tang Jingcheng, I want him to die!" Such an understatement tone, but Ye Tan clearly saw ruthlessness in his eyes.
Guan Luo walked back to the door of the operating room, Lao Mai got up from the chair, glanced at Ye Tan behind him, no one dared to speak, and the atmosphere in the entire corridor was cold.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the lights on the operating room door went out and the doctor walked out.
The first to rush forward was Ye Tan: "How are the people inside?" ”
"The bullet has been removed, but the person hasn't woken up yet!"
"What do you mean?" Ye Qin looked at it and seemed to be more anxious than anyone else.
The doctor thought she was a family member and patiently explained: "Although the bullet did not hit the vital point, because of the deep wound and excessive blood loss, the patient is still in a coma, and it depends on the patient's will when he will wake up." ”
Ye Qin wanted to ask something after listening, but a figure passed by him, and Guan Luo, who had never spoken, rushed directly into the operating room, and the nurse wanted to stop him, but he was so frightened that no one dared to step forward. On the same as the common talent.
Guan Luo walked to the front of the operating table without hindrance, not daring to look at the person on the bed, the first thing he saw was the large blood-stained cotton balls and cotton wool scattered on the workbench, the warhead had been taken out and contained in a small round glassware.
Guan Xiao walked over, his breathing tightened, and turned slightly sideways to look at the person on the operating table, Tang Jingcheng closed his eyes, wore an oxygen mask on his face, his face was so white that there was no trace of blood, and his shoulders were already wrapped with thick gauze, but even so, the strong smell of disinfectant water still couldn't hide the bloody smell in the air.
When Lao Mai walked into the operating room, he saw Guan Wei standing in front of the bed with his back slightly bowed, his back was so lonely when the lights were on.
"She's not out of danger yet, let the nurse take her to the ICU." Lao Mai persuaded him.
After coming over for a long time, I saw Guan Luo's body move, turned around, and walked out of the operating room without saying a word.
Until the afternoon of the next day, Tang Jingcheng still did not wake up.
Ye Qin has been staying in the hospital, and when it was almost dark, she saw Sister Xin pushing Lou Qingxiao over, and Ye Qin was also a little surprised.
"Sister Qingxiao, why are you here?"
Lou Qingxiao grinned on her dry lips, and her face was also completely gray, and it was estimated that no one had slept well this night.
"I'll come and see him, and I'll bring him something to eat by the way." Lou Qingxiao held back and laughed.
Ye Qin saw a thermos box on her knees.
"I don't think Brother Jiu may be able to eat it."
"If you can't eat, you have to eat, I guess he hasn't eaten for a day today." Lou Qingxiao's expression was quite flat, and she couldn't see anything unusual except for some tiredness.
Ye Qin has always admired her determination, after all, she was born as a special police officer, she has received cruel physical and psychological training, and she can always hold it very steadily when it is critical, but Ye Qin is uncomfortable in her heart, and she wants to provoke trouble in every possible way.
"Sister Qingxiao, Brother Jiu has been guarding the woman in the ICU for a day and a night, just sitting there, not talking, and refusing to eat, why do you say? The doctors said she wouldn't die, but she was in a coma! ”
Lou Qingxiao didn't answer, but just smiled a little bitterly.
"He's like that, he always likes to blame himself for other people's sins, or I'll go and see him."
Hearing this, Sister Yanxin was about to push her over, but she stopped her: "I'll go alone, you stay here and wait for me!" ”
Lou Qingxiao rolled a wheelchair alone to the ICU, the ICU was brightly lit, and you could see it clearly through the large floor-to-ceiling windows at the door.
At this time, Guan Luo sat on the edge of the bed in a septum suit, holding his forehead with his fists with both hands, and did not look at Tang Jingcheng who was unconscious on the bed, as if he was immersed in his own world alone.
Lou Qingxiao outside the window silently looked at the man inside, just a wall away, but she felt that she was far away from this man.
A few minutes later, Lou Qingxiao rolled back to the bench where Ye Tan was sitting in a wheelchair, and handed the thermos box on his knee to Ye Tan.
"Please persuade him to eat something, how can he wait for her to wake up if he doesn't have the strength!"
"What about you?" Ye Qin asked unwillingly.
"Me?" Lou Qingxiao smiled bitterly, "I'll go back first, I'll be alone, staying here won't help you except cause trouble." ”
Sister Xin pushed Lou Qingxiao out of the hospital building, but after all, she couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "Miss Lou, who is the woman that Mr. is accompanying the night?" ”
Lou smiled lightly and said nothing.
She didn't want to admit Guan Luo's feelings for Tang Jingcheng, but she had seen some things with her own eyes yesterday, and she saw Guan Luo holding the injured Tang Jingcheng in a mess, and the murderous aura in her eyes was eager to break Chi Feng's body into pieces.
This man, huh...... Lou Qingxiao secretly twisted away the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, how could she have seen him as sad and frightened as yesterday, and how could she have seen him as crisp and decisive as yesterday.
When Guan Luo came out of the ICU, Lou Qingxiao had already left, and Ye Qin handed him the thermos box she sent.
Guan Luo was holding it in his hand, and there was still residual warmth on it.
"Brother Jiu, why don't you eat something."
He didn't speak, turned around and put the thermos box on the bench on the side, took out half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and was about to light it, but suddenly turned to Ye Qin and said, "Help me contact Tang Ji, maybe Tang Ji is willing to wake up when she comes." ”
……
When Tang Ji arrived at the hospital, it was almost 10 o'clock at night, and he rushed directly to the door of the ICU.
When Guan Luo walked over, he happened to see Tang Ji pestering the nurse to let him in to see his daughter, but it was already past the visiting time at that time, and of course the nurse disagreed.
Guan Luo didn't speak, he stuck one hand in his trouser pocket and stood by, watching Tang Ji beg the nurse, and the feeling in his heart at that time was simply too weird.
Three years ago, what he wanted to see most was that Tang Ji, the director of the Yunling City Museum, was dismissed and ruined, but now looking at his slightly old back and the panicked and haggard expression on his face when he begged the nurse, he only had a sense of irritability that kept piling up in his heart.
I can't help but think that if Tang Ji is really planted in his hands one day, he may not be as comfortable as expected.
