After Ah Ming sent Lu Wanting home, he came to the hospital, it has been three hours since Chen Zhongwu was pushed out of the emergency room, and under the signal of the medical staff, he walked into the ward, and saw Chen Zhongwu's eyes deeply trapped in the sockets, the corners of the eyes were covered with white gauze, and the protruding bones on his face showed that he had lost a lot of weight.

Thinking about it carefully, although he was not in the company for many days, when he stayed in the company for a while in the morning, everyone bowed their heads and worked casually to let him know that the company should not know about the kidnapping incident, otherwise Xiao Li would not have told him.

He recalled Xiao Li's words, no wonder the chairman has behaved strangely in the past few days, the supervision of the company has been relaxed so much, it turns out that he has been relying on his own strength to deal with the kidnappers, such a dangerous thing, no one will bear it on others, and he is still calm at the critical moment.

At that time, when the chairman saw his seriously injured brother, his expression was guilty, and his eyes showed unprecedented grief, which was like two people in the company.

His ruthlessness in criticizing employees, his decisiveness in making final decisions, his unfazed honor and disgrace when he succeeds and fails, and his infinite love for his siblings, Chen Bowen's image is clearer and three-dimensional in his heart. He thrills the achievements of the chairman in his career, but he is also a flesh-and-blood person, and there are also many invisible pressures that are not known.

If his previous understanding of the chairman was only on the surface of leaders and decision-makers, now he admires the courage of the chairman even more, although his greatest pride is the moment when he stood in the boxing ring and was raised by the referee to announce the victory, but compared to the chairman he is ashamed of himself.

So far, he has not heard a little wind and grass from the outside world, and he must be included in the chairman's consideration if he can't attract the attention of the outside world, and if he wants to rely on his own strength to suppress this matter, he must have the ability to strategize, but his ability to the chairman is undoubted. Now, he is worried about the same condition as the chairman, perhaps the same as the chairman.

Suddenly, he remembered that Xiao Li, who fainted unexpectedly in the morning, continued to be on the verge of nervous tension for several hours, and he couldn't help but leave the safety of his colleagues behind, he was really careless, so he immediately called other colleagues who were present at the time, and when he learned that Xiao Li was fine, he asked which hospital he was staying in, which happened to be in the same hospital as Chen Zhongwu.

Then, he dialed Xiao Li's mobile phone number, and the voice of a woman answered the phone. She is Xiao Li's wife, she told him Xiao Li's bed number, he went out to buy some fruit, sent to Xiao Li's ward, the three of them said a few words of greeting, there was no follow-up, he sat slightly embarrassed, so he got up and left, let him recuperate, about the chairman of the board of directors did not disclose half a point.

Chen Zhongwu's ward is in the intensive care unit on the third floor, while Xiao Li's is in the general ward on the second floor, and the chance of the two meeting is very small, but he still feels that he must tell the chairman about Xiao Li's hospitalization.

He walked to the door of Chen Zhongwu's ward and saw a person sitting inside, who was the chairman. He was wearing only a white shirt, a blazer and tie by the side of the bed, and his curved back seemed to carry a lot of pressure.

Chen Bowen heard two coughs from outside the door, he looked up and saw that it was Ah Ming, buried his face in his hands again, rubbed his dusty face with both hands, stood up, patted him on the shoulder when he walked to Ah Ming's side, walked out of the ward, leaned in the corridor and silently lit a cigarette.

Amin then came out and stood beside him, with a cigarette in his mouth, and he turned on the lighter and stretched it out to him, and Amin immediately leaned in and lit it.

"Have you found Lu Wanting?"

"Well, she was overtired, and I sent her back after giving her some glucose infusion in the hospital, don't worry."

He nodded, a smile on the corner of his mouth, he was still so worried about her at the time, although she looked silly, but she always gave people the feeling that no matter what she encountered, she would turn evil into good fortune.

Then, the two of them smoked like this, without any conversation, but they seemed to have already understood what the other wanted to say, and a thousand words could not compare to the silence now, like the night when Amin first asked him for a drink.

He asked Ah Ming to go back to rest first, and he would stay in the ward for a while, and before leaving, Ah Ming told him about Xiao Li's sudden illness, and after a few seconds of shock on his face, he regained his composure after leaving.

After Ah Ming left, he took out the cigarette case again, and when the hand that took out the cigarette trembled slightly, he realized that he was too tired to do it, and the day of this phenomenon was finally coming to an end, and he felt that this was the longest day of his life, and the sudden relaxation made him lose the strength to reinvigorate.

After smoking a cigarette, he returned to the ward, picked up his coat and tie, and took one last look at his brother. He still lay quietly, as if he had fallen asleep, and he had never looked so closely at his brother, whom he knew all the more.

He noticed that his brother's chin was covered with a green and hard beard, and between his eyebrows was a little more mature, but he still wore a very trendy stud earring on his left ear. After this abduction, he must be different, at least he will no longer accept the protection of himself and his grandmother like a child.

When he left the hospital, he accidentally bumped into a young woman, and after saying "sorry" repeatedly, he suddenly felt that she was somewhat familiar, and then disappeared gracefully into the woman's puzzled gaze.

In fact, his familiarity is not unreasonable, that woman is Xiao Li's wife, her husband once took her to Chen's company's annual meeting last year, she vaguely remembered that he was the company's CEO at the annual meeting, when she was surrounded by several young girls behind the crowd, and the people who spoke on the stage were not very clear.

After returning to the ward, she said to her husband: "When I just went upstairs to find a doctor, I seemed to see Mr. Chen of his company, does he know about your hospitalization?" I guess I'm here to see you.

"It's so late, how could Mr. Chen come to the hospital now, you are dazzled. By the way, I have to call Mr. Chen tomorrow to ask for leave. ”

At this time, Chen Bowen had already driven away from the hospital. On the way home, he turned on the radio, the channel was still in the place where Lu Wanting had tuned last time, and an outdated old song was playing in it, followed by the radio DJ saying goodnight to the listeners, but the song was still the same, like a breeze blowing in his heart.

The road was deserted late at night, except for some "empty" rentals, there were very few vehicles, and he walked unimpeded, and soon the red tile roof of the old house appeared in front of him.

He parked the car at the gate but did not enter, the whole house was lit off, it was pitch black, only a small street lamp outside the door was still lit faintly, he felt particularly warm, when he was a child and his grandmother lived in the old house for a short time, he did not have a deep impression of this lamp, but the wall full of green creepers was branded in the bottom of his heart.

However, whether it is a street lamp, a creeper, or other things in memory, it is actually because of the participation of one's own family that there is a warmth for those old things.

Sitting in the driver's seat, he didn't move forward, and then he turned around and left. His face was wounded, his suit and shirt were wrinkled, and he wished he had walked into the house in bright clothes. And not the current mess. He drove through well-lit tunnels, over lonely viaducts, through noisy shopping streets, aimlessly in the city.

He thought of the surviving kidnappers, his hatred for them was no longer as strong as that of Qianqian, he had nothing to do with them, but he couldn't help but think of their future fate, he always believed that the fate of people was in his own hands, he had not changed anything, and their evil consequences were caused by themselves.

Finally, he returned to the high-end villa where he had lived before, and in the big empty house he could only hear his own heavy footsteps, and he didn't feel cold, although the temperature outside was not low, but it was even worse inside. He went to the bathroom and turned on the faucet in the bathtub and took a full tank of water. Lying in the bathtub, he felt that the world had finally quieted down.

The next day, Amin was waiting for him outside the community in the company's car very early. Sitting in the car, he turned his head to look out the window, the dawn broke through the clouds, and the city began its new day. After the two came to the hospital, they were happy to see that Chen Zhongwu had woken up, and the nurse of the hospital was feeding him porridge.

As soon as Chen Zhongwu saw his eldest brother walk in, he immediately showed a childlike smile, his face was bloody, and he looked much better than yesterday, and the morning light outside the window hit his face, which made him look more energetic, even if the corners of his eyes were injured, it was still difficult to hide his handsomeness.

Ah Ming put a bouquet of lilies he bought in the morning on the bedside table, and he pouted: "Ah Ming, you don't know that I am allergic to pollen?" ”

Ah Ming's hand was still holding the bottom of the bouquet, and there was an embarrassed expression on his face, neither to put it down, nor to take it away. He immediately burst out laughing, and then grinned in pain because he had touched the wound with so much laughter.

The nurse on the side glared at him and said angrily: "Your injuries are not healed now, if you want to be discharged from the hospital early, don't keep moving." ”

"Sister nurse, can I see you again after I am discharged from the hospital, if I can't, I will stay in the hospital for the rest of my life." Chen Bowen shook his head helplessly, he was seriously injured and could still be flamboyant, this is really his style!

After the nurse left, the brothers who hadn't seen him for many days shook hands tightly, and Chen Zhongwu also changed his hippie smile just now, and said seriously: "Big brother, I thought I would never see you and grandma." ”

A warm current passed by in his heart, as if his brother had grown up a lot overnight.
