Chapter 34: Tang Peitian
The role of father appeared a little suddenly for Tang Shao.
In the morning, it was not the first ray of sunshine in the morning that shone into Tang Shao's sight, but an old face. It was still the old face I saw last night, but at this time, looking at Tang Shao, he was full of love, as if he had changed his temperament overnight.
"When did you start dreaming about this?" The old face looked a little cramped and uneasy when facing Tang Shao, who suddenly opened his eyes, and now he no longer has the temperament of the leading brother like yesterday, but like an ordinary down-and-out old man.
Tang Shao was also stunned for a while, he could only sneer, "Huh? sighed, waiting for the other party to reveal his identity.
"Are you okay?" Somewhat awkward opening remarks.
"Good." Somewhat embarrassed to reply.
"How many years have you graduated? Got a job? The problem is still awkward, but the person concerned seems to be unaware. ”
"I don't have a job yet, but I'm able to support myself." The answer is reasonable.
"Oh, that's not bad."
……
Tang Shao, who had accumulated a lot of questions, was not in a hurry at this time, on the contrary, he even hoped that this meaningless question could continue.
When he got bored, the old face took a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a deep breath before placing it diagonally on the table.
"My name is Tang Peitian, you should call me Dad." Seeing that Tang Shao didn't mean to scream, Tang Peitian smiled bitterly and continued: "I heard that you are from Mr. Ruan, so let's start with her." I guess you already know about the first half of Mr. Ruan's life. Then I'll tell you how she became the current Mr. Ruan. I met Mr. Ruan during a scientific expedition, and her name was still Ruan Yulan at that time, a very earthy name, wasn't it? At that time, she was as earthy as her name, without any scheming, always wearing a pair of thick round glasses, like a fortune teller.
After that expedition, we each had a goal to strive for. She became a politician, and at first she made a name for herself in some European aristocratic circles. Relying on her ingenuity, she has won a lot of resources for herself. Later she married the king of a small Central Asian country. The king died soon after, and she relied on her influence in world politics to enrich the whole country and win the hearts and minds of the people. But this woman's ambition is not something that can be satisfied by a small country, and she has used her own methods to help some of the world's biggest names deal with many thorny problems, some of which are a headache for even the world's top powers, but they are easy to put in her hands. That's what she's capable of, and that's why she has so many resources.
However, her masterpiece is not to turn a small impoverished country of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers into a developed country in ten years, but the e-era. The Ren family founded the E era, but it was this woman who made the black and white company of the e era an existence that many big countries in the world hated but did not covet. It can be said that as long as any country has mastered the e-era, it is not a dream to dominate the world; There are also many forces that claim to be righteous who are full of worries about the technology mastered in the E era, and they don't want to get rid of it all the time. But all the controversy about the e-era was erased in its infancy. That's what Mr. Nguyen is capable of, but that's still not her ambition. ”
Speaking of this, Tang Peitian smiled bitterly again, because he read what Tang Shao was thinking in his head: "Don't you all like to tell stories so grindingly, and tell me the answer directly?" ”
"When did you start having that dream?" Tang Peitian suddenly turned back to the topic he had just started.
Tang Shao thought for a while and replied, "It seems that after I returned to the capital from the bottom of the sea." Until now, the only reason he could think of the after-effects of using the black stone was the reason why he kept dreaming, and now it seems that he can get the answer from his father, and he is also very cooperative.
"Oh, it's the hospital. Someone gave you a brain scan? Tang Peitian asked very seriously.
"I know, I still ask." Tang Shao didn't answer, just thought in his head. A pair of eyes were staring directly at a black string around Tang Peitian's neck, which was the rope that tied the black jade plate.
Tang Peitian laughed embarrassedly, then pulled out the black stone pendant from his clothes and threw it on the table at hand.
"That's fine."
Tang Shao was noncommittal, but asked directly: "What did you go through that time, can't you just say it?" ”
Tang Peitian picked up the only half-cigarette left on the table, took a hard breath and asked, "Satisfied your curiosity, can you stop a little?" ”
Tang Shao just stared at him and stopped talking.
Finally, Tang Peitian took a deep breath: "Okay! It's going to pass anyway, so it doesn't hurt to tell you. A total of 963 people participated in that expedition, 151 entered the final area, and 148 died. Speaking of this, Tang Peitian paused again before continuing: "Four people survived!" ”
A fourth person appeared, and Tang Shao had suspected that the fourth person was Old Mike. But compared to Mr. Ruan, Mike is obviously a notch behind. Now that his father had given himself a math problem, looking at Tang Peitian's seemingly defiant gaze, Tang Shao's intuition told him that as long as he calculated this simple addition and subtraction correctly, he could solve a big puzzle. However, he only guessed out of thin air based on his previous clues, completely ignoring the few numbers his father said. Because after adding and subtracting those numbers, the answer is three.
"There should have been only three survivors, but four people came out. Could it be that someone came out of there? As the door was opened, Ouyang Beiyan walked in from outside.
"Hehe, it's worthy of being trained by Ouyang Old Ghost." After praising Ouyang Beiyan, Tang Peitian didn't forget to glance at Tang Shao.
Ouyang Beiyan eagerly continued to ask her second question: "When I first met Mr. Ruan, she told us that the target of that scientific expedition was a UFO that crashed in Yunnan. Could it be that the extra person is an alien? ”
Tang Peitian's face changed slightly, but he immediately returned to his normal expression, took the last puff of cigarette without confirming or denying it, and put back his black stone pendant, it seemed that the next action should be to get up and leave.
"He's dangerous, he's going to lead the world to the point of no return. So you'd better not believe what she said, let alone follow her train of thought. ”
Tang Peitian used him a lot in one sentence, but Tang Shao and Ouyang Beiyan naturally thought of Mr. Ruan. Mr. Nguyen wants
It was already an obvious fact to lead them to a certain place, and now Tang Peitian was telling them that that place was the point of no return.
"Mr. Nguyen is fighting for that...... That thing does the right thing, right? My parents died because of that person, right? My uncle is innocent, right? ”
The extinguished cigarette butt was always bitten in Tang Peitian's mouth, and he sighed and smiled bitterly: "It's not just Mr. Ruan." What your uncle and I are doing is what he meant. None of us are innocent, including the 960 people who died that year. ”
Ouyang Beiyan wanted to speak and stopped. Maybe she was really scared, afraid that if she continued to ask, she would get an answer that she least wanted.
Tang Shao was a little annoyed, he hated dealing with so-called smart people to death, and he didn't say everything clearly. So Tang Shao simply stood up and asked with a solemn face: "Is it true that Mr. Ruan said that things will come to an end soon?" What is the result? "It's a complete undying posture.
"Give me some more time, maybe a few days, maybe a dozen days. In short, soon these questions no longer make sense. In a few days, it will either be unknown or will be known to everyone. Anyway, you don't have to pursue any more facts. All you have to do is know that staying here will keep you safe. After leaving such a warning, Tang Peitian was about to leave.
Just when the door had been opened, Ouyang Beiyan finally couldn't hold back, she hurriedly grabbed Tang Peitian and asked, "Where is my uncle?" What kind of person was he? What kind of person is he now? ”
"He? He was a nerd when we met, and he's a nerd now. Of the three of us, he was the only one who took the path closest to his ideals. I think if we all die, he should be the one with the least regrets. But your uncle is a good man, even if he has done something wrong. Are you still satisfied with this answer? Tang Peitian looked at Ouyang Beiyan lovingly, looking honest and to the point.
"And will he die?" Ouyang Beiyan asked this question cautiously, because she should already have an answer in her heart.
"People have to die." A wordplay that sounds simple, but the answer couldn't be clearer.
"Where's my mom? Does it have something to do with you? Tang Shao was infected by Ouyang Beiyan's emotions, and he also seemed quite excited.
"When that incident has a result, Ah Hu will take you to her. She misses you too, but you can't see each other because of me. So you can just wait with peace of mind. ”
After Tang Peitian left, Ouyang Beiyan looked at Tang Shao, who was a little lost, and couldn't bear it: "I'm sorry to disturb the reunion of your father and son." ”
"Hehe, it's okay." It's not that Tang Shao didn't think about the embarrassment when he met his father, but this feeling of being completely like facing a stranger still broke through his lowest expectations. His father is really completely gone, not only disappeared in the first half of his life, but also disappeared in his expectations, and may completely disappear from this world in the future. Sad? It's also sad, but it's not at all as imagined, and not even one thousandth of the sadness in the dream. Maybe this is what his father wants, this is his success, but in the end, Tang Shao is sad.
That morning, Tang Shao smoked a cigarette very seriously for the first time, but it ended with a very serious cough.
