Chapter 123: Life and Death
After eating, Xia Sheng continued the question of the second male candidate.
"I mean seriously, if you can really invite a well-known star to play the second male lead, the salary will not exceed the budget." Xia Sheng said confidently.
Hua Tao will be suspicious: "In addition to Zhang Xu, do you know other artists in the entertainment industry?" ”
Xia Sheng smiled: "Why do you want to save Zhang Xu, I just want to ask him to help." ”
"Please Zhang Xu to play the second male?!" Hua Tao's eyes widened.
Xia Sheng nodded and said, "He was originally an actor, so did you be so surprised to play the second male?" ”
"No, but Zhang Xu is running four, running four, isn't the second male in the script only in his early twenties?"
Xia Sheng laughed: "If you let KK hear this, he will definitely want to beat you." What about Ben Si, a man with forty-one flowers, you know. ”
Hua Tao: "......" doesn't understand it at all.
Xia Sheng said: "In this way, I'll call him first and ask him if he has a schedule now, and then send the script to him to see if he is interested, and if the two parties are in love, let him audition." ”
Hua Tao: What does "......" mean to be in love?
"Just such a happy decision." After Xia Sheng finished speaking, he really called Zhang Xu.
In fact, in all fairness, Zhang Xu is extremely well maintained, and his skin is white, handsome, and he does look younger than his actual age.
Xia Sheng went to make a call, Hua Tao's mobile phone also rang at this time, and Hua Yunruo looked for her.
"Mom, are you still used to living over there?" Hua Tao asked with a smile.
Hua Yunruo didn't answer this question, but said in an eager tone: "Xiao Tao, just now Sihua received a call from the hospital, Dr. Lin's injury suddenly deteriorated and he was sent to the ICU, I'm afraid it's going to be over, I'm going to the hospital with her now, you can come too." ”
Hua Tao also panicked suddenly, but she still forced herself to calm down and comfort Hua Yunruo: "Aren't you still rescuing, it's okay, you accompany Sihua, pay attention to safety on the road, I will go over with Xia Sheng immediately." ”
hung up the phone, but Xia Sheng was still chatting, and Hua Tao walked over to pull the hem of his clothes.
Xia Sheng was startled when he caught a glimpse of Hua Tao's crying appearance, told Zhang Xu that something was wrong, and then hung up in a hurry.
"What's wrong with you?" Xia Sheng hugged Hua Tao, touched her head, and touched her face, not knowing what happened to her, she was anxious and distressed.
"Dr. Lin's condition has deteriorated, and now he is in the ICU, my mother and Sihua have already passed, let's go and see it."
Xia Sheng was taken aback, and immediately took the key and went out with Hua Tao: "I have to call Han Ming." ”
The relationship between those two people is like brothers, which makes his brother jealous.
If Lin Yancheng had a case, I don't know how sad Xia Ershao would be.
When the two rushed to the hospital, Lin Yancheng was still in the rescue.
Lin Yancheng's mother had been sobbing worriedly, and Lin's father put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her softly from time to time, wiping her tears with a tissue.
Hua Tao had met Lin's father before, and the erudite and talented Dean Lin often attended academic seminars in the medical field, and he was seen in newspapers and magazines with extraordinary appearance and high spirits.
But now, he is like a man in his twilight years, and he has suddenly aged several years.
Tao Sihua didn't cry, there was no expression on his face, his eyes were drooping, and his bangs were softly covered on his eyebrows, very quiet. She wore a loose sweatshirt, which made her look thinner and thinner.
Hua Ruoyun and Tao Shenglei stood aside, at this moment, the words of relief were too pale, and they were just silent.
For Tao Shenglei's arrival, the people of the Lin family did not have too much emotion, although the outside world insinuated that Lin Yancheng's attack was done by Tao Shenglei, but Lin's father and Lin mother were still polite to Tao Shenglei before they found real evidence. I'm grateful that he's here at this time.
Hua Tao walked to Tao Sihua's side and gently hugged her shoulder, Tao Sihua turned his head to look at her, and barely squeezed out a smile, which was regarded as a greeting.
The waiting time is always long, and the Grim Reaper with a sickle in his hand is still hiding in the shadows waiting for an opportunity, and everyone's mood is anxious, wanting to end this torment, but fearing the end of the wait, is despair.
Xia Hanming was the last to arrive, because his hand had not healed yet, Gu Jiaqi was not worried that he would go out alone, so he followed him in a daze.
Seven or eight people huddled in the hallway, but there was no sound of conversation, only the occasional low sob.
Xia Hanming couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere, and walked to the window at the end of the corridor to smoke, Xia Sheng asked Gu Jiaqi to sit on the rest chair and wait, and followed himself.
"How's the hand?" Xia Sheng asked for a cigarette from Xia Hanming, and lit it by the light of the fire on his cigarette butt.
He hadn't smoked in a while and was a little nostalgic for the smell of tobacco.
Xia Hanming glanced down at his hand that had not yet removed the plaster, and said lightly: "Regularly change dressings and rechecks, and the doctor said that it will take three or four months to get better." ”
Xia Sheng leaned against the wall, holding a cigarette in his hand, and said a little seriously: "Be kind to yourself, don't always look like you don't care, if you are injured, your family will be worried." ”
Xia Hanming has always been rebellious in front of Xia Sheng, but at this moment, he is extremely well-behaved, without any refutation, and nodded.
Maybe it's affected by the atmosphere just now, life is impermanent, gathering and scattering sometimes, and the fate of people is uncertain, every time we get together, I always think that there is a next time, but it is likely that this time is the last time.
Xia Hanming put out the cigarette butt on the windowsill, looked up and said to Xia Sheng: "Brother, you are the same, take care of yourself." ”
Xia Sheng smiled, feeling that this awkward and arrogant younger brother had finally grown up.
The lights in the emergency room went out, and everyone stood up and hurried to meet the surgeon.
Xia Sheng and Xia Hanming also hurried over from the other end of the corridor.
When she came to the door, Mother Lin had already fainted from crying, and the doctors and nurses who had just come out of the emergency room immediately rushed to rescue Mother Lin again.
Xia Sheng didn't have time to listen to what the doctor said, but looking at everyone's demeanor, he had already guessed the answer.
Hua Tao didn't know how to comfort Tao Sihua, because Tao Sihua was too calm, as if she didn't need any comfort.
When the nurse pushed Lin Yancheng out, Lin's father finally couldn't suppress his grief, threw himself on his son with a white cloth on his head, and kept crying his son's name.
Gu Jiaqi was soft-hearted, and he couldn't see these sad scenes of life and death, even if he was not familiar with Lin Yancheng, he couldn't help crying.
Xia Hanming was also very sad, but when he saw Gu Jiaqi's appearance, he was worried that she would also faint from crying like Mother Lin, so he hurriedly came over and hugged her, and ordered her not to cry anymore with both soft and hard measures.
Xia Sheng's mobile phone rang at this time, and a string of numbers flashed on the screen that he knew by heart and that was not convenient for making notes.
"Sheng Shao, I found out that Long Ye had already left Jinzhou yesterday and went to Cloud City." The other party went straight to the point without saying a word of nonsense.
Xia Sheng remained silent on the surface, and responded in a deep voice: "Got it." ”
Long Ye knew that he was being hunted down by a bounty, but he still came to Cloud City at this time, could it be ......
Xia Sheng is very aware of Long Ye's personality, his temper is a little short-tempered, and he does not admit defeat, there was Fu Ye who controlled him before, and his temper was somewhat restrained, but now that Fu Ye is gone, he is likely to be unable to hold his breath because of Tao Shenglei's provocation of this pursuit order, and take people to Yuncheng to attack Tao Shenglei and strike first.
Xia Sheng saw that everyone's attention was not on him, so he quietly moved his steps, retreated to the edge of the corridor, and then lowered his voice to the person on the other end: "Is there a way to find out where Long Ye is now?" ”
"It's a bit tricky, but I'll try it and try to help you find out. But the charge is ......"
"Double."
"Okay, it's refreshing enough, you wait for my news."
Xia Sheng hung up the phone, put the phone in his trouser pocket, and exhaled slowly.
Enough worries lately.
I hope Long Ye won't do any more things.
A peaceful life can't stand the toss.
After coming out of the hospital and returning home, Hua Tao was still at ease with Tao Sihua's condition.
"She couldn't cry, she kept holding back, and I was really worried that she would suffocate." Hua Tao took a bath and went to bed, but she had no intention of sleeping.
Xia Sheng came out of the shower, climbed onto the bed, lifted the quilt and got in.
"Anyway, your mom has moved in now, and someone can watch her." Xia Sheng said, "I don't know if Mr. Tao was too prescient and actually thought of taking my aunt to live at home." ”
Tao Shenglei looks cold all year round, and he can't say half a word of comfort.
Hua Tao said: "It's not prescient, Sihua was already very sad when Dr. Lin was unconscious, but he never showed it like this, I think Mr. Tao must be distressed in his heart, after all, he is his own flesh and blood, so he thought of asking my mother to move over to take care of her." ”
I thought it was a thunderous arrangement before, but now that I think about it, I think it was the most appropriate.
And if Tao Shenglei really loves Hua Yunruo, he will definitely not let her follow him namelessly, marriage is a matter of time, and it is good for Tao Sihua to accept this fact as soon as possible.
"Mr. Tao is really well-intentioned." Xia Sheng couldn't help but admire.
The two chatted for a while, trying to distract themselves, the life and death experience in the hospital tonight was too heavy, and the heaviness weighed on their hearts and could not dissipate for a long time.
Hua Tao saw Gu Jiaqi crying when she was in the hospital, and she was also infected so much that she cried desperately, and she can still feel that her eyes are a little swollen.
Xia Sheng took ice cubes to help her cold compress for a while, with a distressed expression on his face, and finally touched her head, pulled her into his arms and hugged her for a long time.
They chatted under the covers until nearly the wee hours of the morning before falling asleep.
Hua Tao fell asleep first, and Xia Sheng quietly looked at her sleeping face for a while before turning around to get the mobile phone on the bedside table.
He muted it to see if any calls had come in.
Sure enough, there were two missed calls on the screen.
He cautiously got out of bed and walked out of the balcony to call back.
"Sheng Shao, I'm sorry, I can't find out where Long Ye is in Cloud City." The man on the other end said, "I only know that he drove to Cloud City by himself, and then disappeared." ”
"Okay, good work." After Xia Sheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone and immediately dialed Long Ye's mobile phone number again.
He thought that Long Ye would not accept it, but he was unwilling and wanted to try his luck again, but he didn't expect that this time he would actually take it.
"Brother Long......"
Long Ye didn't wait for him to speak, and preemptively said, "I've already checked the matter clearly." Fu Ye was assassinated by Tao Shenglei and asked Zhang Bin to be hired, and Cheng Shao was also attacked by his surname Tao. ”
Green eyes narrowed slightly, and looked at the building in the distance under the darkness of the night, and his eyes were dark.
"Brother Long, have you really checked it out?"
"Yes, there can be no mistake." The night was as cold as water, and Long Ye's voice sounded extremely cold, "I heard that your brother was also injured by mistake?" It doesn't matter, I'll get it back for him. ”
