Chapter 038 of the text is all like this

The moment he touched the knife, Chen Zhongwu was ecstatic. He quickly moved his body inside again until his hands were full of touch of the knife.

He counted silently in his mind, and before he could count once, he tried to pick up the knife, but the thin blade seemed to stick to the ground, until the third time, when he finally held the knife in his hand.

He grabbed the knife in his backhand, once, twice, and began to cut the rope on his wrist over and over again. He told himself not to panic with the sound of something falling and breaking in the garage, and as the minutes passed, he could feel the rope loosening clearly.

Finally, he cut off the restraints on his wrists, he got up in a panic, and saw the fat man pressing the face of the second child against the table, and the second child reached out and touched a table lamp on the table and smashed it on the fat man's body. Both of them had their backs to him, and Kenburn didn't see that he had jumped back into the corner and began to cut the ropes from his feet.

The rope on his feet was obviously more twisted than on his wrists, and his hand holding the knife shook violently, his body trembled slightly from nervousness, and beads of sweat already appeared on his forehead.

At last, he had cut all the ropes, and he ran out of the door, the old-fashioned rolling door screeching as it was lifted. He didn't bother to look back to see if the kidnappers heard the sound, and he was bent on escaping as soon as possible, and he would be free when he stepped through the door.

But just when he lifted the door, thinking that he was about to see the dawn of victory, he saw Bai Yu and the third child standing outside the door, both of them showed surprised expressions, obviously not expecting to see him.

However, the escape signal in his mind made him even skip the reaction of surprise, and he was about to run out by grazing Bai Yu's shoulder, but he was knocked to the ground by a fist from the other party. He supported the ground with one hand and the knocked out head with the other, and barely stood up, but before he could stand firmly, he was punched by the collar by the neck.

The punch came so hard and accurate that he couldn't hold it anymore, and his body leaned back. Then I heard a "Stop!" He was no longer conscious.

After he fainted, the third child immediately stepped forward to pull away the fat man and the second child, Bai Yu indiscriminately stepped forward and slapped the two of them in the face, and he was still angry, he pulled out the stool from under the table, lifted it and threw it on the two of them, it was the third child who stopped him in time and persuaded him to solve Chen Zhongwu's matter first.

Bai Yu lit a cigarette and ordered them to tie him up again. After the failure of this escape plan, he has completely lost motivation, and he is desperate for his eldest brother to take him back soon.

The kidnappers treated him worse than before, and he stopped eating water and biscuits, and he didn't even look at him anymore. His wrists and ankles were strangled by the ropes, and the pain gradually turned numb.

When Chen Zhongwu said this, his voice had become extremely low, and he looked at the wound, as if the pain at that time had swept over again.

Chen Bowen looked at his younger brother in front of him, unable to imagine the pain he had experienced, he could only watch him silently, feeling that his younger brother at this moment was a little different from before, if the reason for the difference was the suffering he had endured, which made him feel more distressed.

Busy with his career, he compresses the time spent with his family less and less, and gets along with his younger brother day and night every day, and his concern for his younger brother only exists in the fact that he doesn't mess around outside, and he always puts family affection first. Now seeing his brother's sad expression, he patted his hand with the needle inserted and told him not to say any more.

Chen Zhongwu's mouth couldn't stop, as if he wanted to finish all the words owed during the three days of isolation.

What's more, it is rare to have such a face-to-face opportunity to talk with his eldest brother, and the content of the speech does not involve the company, stocks, or any work-related content, he cherishes it very much, and thinks carefully that he has not had a good conversation with his eldest brother for a long time. He thinks that people are really strange, and they will always do what they want to do the most at the most unexpected moments.

He continued, after being severely lectured by the kidnappers several times, the pain in his body made him delirious. He couldn't tell the difference between day and night in the garage, because there was a kidnapper around him at all times, and the tightly closed rolling door had long since isolated the outside world.

The method he used to judge the night was when someone was sleeping, and usually at night, the fat man and the third child would stay in the garage to sleep, and they would not turn off the lights at that time, and he was used to the light twenty-four hours a day.

In fact, it is the quietest time of the day only when the kidnappers are snoring, and the rest of the time, they either get together to play cards, shout loudly, or talk to someone on the phone, using the same decibels.

So, when they finally began to subside, he was able to sleep peacefully, but even those few hours of rare silence were spent in nightmares.

Once, he dreamed that he appeared at the state university where his eldest brother once studied in the United States, and the eldest brother stood at the front desk with a trophy in his hand to speak, and he stood under the stage and looked forward desperately over the crowd, shouting the name of the eldest brother, but his voice seemed to be drowned out by something, and the voice of the eldest brother speaking also disappeared.

It felt like a rich and vivid TV picture suddenly being muted by someone else, and he could only see the golden trophy in his eldest brother's hand and the one by one.

After waking up, the snoring of the kidnappers still sounded in his ears, he raised his heavy eyelids and looked around, his heart was completely lost, at that moment, he was really afraid that he would not be able to see his eldest brother again.

He has never been a family lover, and he was sent to study abroad voluntarily for four years of college. At that time, the eldest brother was already a sophomore in the United States, and every year he would become famous on campus because of his participation in various competitions, and he was also deeply appreciated by the professors, but in order not to become the shadow under the halo of the eldest brother, he chose to go to Australia, because it was far enough from the United States and far enough from home.

In the green years when no one was in charge and no one was supervised, he went further and further away from the path that his grandmother had set for him, and he was even lawless to the point of deceiving his family. It was a summer vacation, and he was kidnapped by kidnappers on the pretext that he was squandering abroad for a few more days after getting the money, but who knew that the matter was debunked on the spot after his grandmother flew to Australia.

Since then, he has become a rebellious teenager of the Chen family. At the beginning, the eldest brother because of his excellent academic performance, the school desperately hoped that he could stay in the United States, but the family mission of inheriting the family business made him resolutely refuse, a year later, Chen Zhongwu also graduated one after another, although he was extremely reluctant to return to China, but had more of his own ideas, but the eldest brother's words made him change his mind.

The eldest brother told him at the time: "Don't forget who gave you everything you have, and who will decide everything you are about to lose." ”

He was powerless to refute it, and in his understanding of many issues, the eldest brother had deeper insights than him and saw more thoroughly. After returning to China, the two brothers began to familiarize themselves with everything in the company under the guidance of their grandmother, because the eldest brother entered the company a year earlier than himself, so the eldest brother helped him in many things.

In the past few years, in the case of the company's investment project mistakes, each time the rescue is the cooperation of the two brothers, and the proposal and formulation of major decisions have also become more and more tacit. Their relationship began to improve until there was no distinction between you and me.

Grandma plays a very important role in this. Although the courage of the strong woman back then can still be seen under her old face, she is more like a lubricant between two gears, so that the two brothers can move forward together.

Sometimes, he also dreams of his grandmother, and it is at that time that he has a large blank time to imprint his grandmother's figure in his mind, and his longing for his grandmother is also extremely strong.

When he was a child, because of the company, in his and Chen Bowen's childhood memories, the proportion of grandmothers was very small, but the nanny who was not related by blood was hired by the family to replace his grandmother and become the person who accompanied them the most. Adults sometimes ask him the same question, do you love grandpa more or grandma more?

In fact, those who don't know don't know that grandpa died before they were born, and he spent a very short time with grandma, so he can't answer, just looks at the adult in front of him, so he is considered a child with a strange personality since he was a child.

By the morning of the third day, he felt like he was covered in a quilt and couldn't breathe. This uncomfortable feeling continued, and he couldn't help but moan in pain, but Bai Yu was the only one in the garage, and the other three were nowhere to be seen.

He seemed to have encountered something tricky, kept pacing in the garage, and even went out for more than ten minutes, leaving him alone in the garage. In the darkness after turning off the lights, he seemed to be able to see a shard of glass in the corner that reflected the light, but by that time he had no strength to escape, and his head was already groggy.

Until a man suddenly walked up to him and helped him up, at that moment he thought it was Chen Bowen's hand, but he couldn't open his eyes and couldn't see the other party's face clearly. He heard a slight sound, followed by the smell of the rope being burned.

He looked down at the flickering flame on the lighter the man was holding, and he told him to endure it if it hurt, when he didn't feel anything at all. When the eldest brother's voice finally sounded in his ears, he still felt that everything was like a dream, but he weakly shouted "brother" and lost his strength.

Chen Zhongwu stopped abruptly when he said this. He noticed that the tone of the conversation seemed to be getting more and more dull, which was not an easy topic in the first place, and they were all silent, except for the liquid in the infusion tube dripping down drop by drop.
