In Hao Dong's impression, the concept of "father" and the concept of "mother" are actually almost vague.

However, the lack of maternal love can be said to be a congenital deficiency, but the lack of father's love can only be said to be caused by Hao Jiefang's father, who is really not very responsible.

As a provincial model worker, one of the top ten young entrepreneurs, a representative of outstanding private enterprises, and even a representative of non-party personages of the CPPCC, Hao Jiefang is indeed devoted to his company and career. There is very little attention paid to the youngest son who has lost his mother since birth and is waiting to be fed.

However, at that time, his business was quite large, and in the early nineties, he launched various overseas trades as a private enterprise, and when Hao Dong was born, the family's economic conditions were indeed not generally good at that time.

Therefore, Hao Dong has also had nannies around him since he was a child, and there has indeed been no shortage of food, clothing, housing and transportation - or, in terms of material conditions alone, the conditions are better than those of more than ninety percent of his children and classmates.

Hao Dong's childhood is not very sad - after all, he was fully satisfied materially; But it was not very easy, because almost all of the supervision of his study and life since he was a child was entrusted to the head teacher and nanny.

Such days lasted until Hao Dong graduated from junior high school, and his father, who had never seen the dragon and could only see him once in the morning, suddenly came home more and more rarely.

There was even a time when Hao Dong didn't see Hao Jiefang once for half a year, and he almost thought that his father was dead outside. At that time, I realized that my family's company might have encountered some problems.

Because all the helpers and maids in the family were fired one by one, the house was gradually replaced from a villa to an ordinary compound apartment. Even the nanny who brought him up since he was a child left one day.

Hao Dong, who lacked parental care, did not grow crooked since he was a child, basically because of the nanny, and the old nanny was also the most important spiritual pillar of Hao Dong, who was not very mature at that time. Her departure finally made Hao Dong start to think seriously about his family.

In fact, he didn't realize many problems before, but just subconsciously avoided them. Then the day he found it finally impossible to escape, he received an email from his deceased mother.

Since then, Hao Dong's life can be said to have changed dramatically. Although he may not be able to see anything on the surface, he knows for himself that his views on many things have changed in those years.

It was also from that time that he began to notice that something was wrong around him.

This aberrations accumulate bit by bit.

At first, he didn't realize anything, but gradually he realized that his grandfather, who had never met anyone, was actually paying attention to him.

Later, he realized that Hao Jiefang didn't really throw him away, although there was no nanny at home, and he needed to do everything himself, but in fact, there were a lot of eyes around him who were secretly staring at him.

These are all things that Ru Shunhua taught him to discern and recognize through emails, and these discoveries made him feel more and more uneasy, and he also became more and more concerned about what Ru Shunhua would mention in his emails. And finally followed Ru Shunhua's email instructions and went farther and farther, until now.

Now, Hao Jiefang suddenly appeared in front of him.

Hao Dong stiffened and stood in place, Hao Jiefang turned around and looked straight at him.

Hao Jiefang's appearance is actually not bad, although he is middle-aged, and even his sideburns are a little gray, but his face is white and clean, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he has a somewhat elegant temperament.

It's just that this kind of temperament looks like the previous Ru Shunying under the premise that there are no other than a small yellow bulb at the door, and the surrounding light source is not anything other than the previous Ru Shunying.

Hao Jiefang's glasses refracted a little reflection in the light, and seeing Hao Dong frozen in place, he opened his mouth first: "Xiaodong, come here, meet your mother." ”

Hao Dong originally made up his mind not to approach, but when he heard Hao Jiefang say that it was his mother in the coffin, his heart was still shaken.

As if he was sure that Hao Dong couldn't refuse, Hao Jiefang even took a step back: "Your mother has been lying here for many years, and when I see you today, she can really rest in peace." ”

Just like any child, unless he has been seriously hurt by his parents, he will always have a natural trust and dependence on his parents.

Although what he learned before made Hao Dong more or less aware that Hao Jiefang's ignorance of him may have reasons other than "busyness", as long as things don't finally develop to the point of being out of control, Hao Dong is actually more inclined to choose to believe in his father.

At the moment, he is also thinking more about whether the scene in front of him is real, rather than whether he should believe Hao Jiefang.

The scene in front of him looked very realistic, but he hadn't forgotten that just a few minutes ago, it was Ru Shunying who was originally in front of him. In the end, this is a clever mechanism that realizes the space exchange? Or is it just a hallucination?

Hao Dong hesitated for a moment, and suddenly opened his mouth: "You and Auntie, you ...... What relationship? ”

It seemed that he didn't expect Hao Dong to ask such a question, and Hao Jiefang's face was a little unnatural all of a sudden. But he quickly adjusted and replied to Hao Dong lightly: "What can we do?" ”

It's okay you'll be here? Hao Dong wanted to yell back like this, but his intuition made him hold back.

Originally, the surrounding environment made him think that this place was likely to be an illusion, but Hao Jiefang's reaction just now was too real, which made him feel wrong.

If he hadn't experienced a hallucination in Inner Mongolia, he might not have been able to distinguish the truth from the fake at this time. But since he had experienced it once, he still knew that although that kind of illusion was very realistic, it still could not be realistic to the smallest detail.

Therefore, what you see in front of you should not be an illusion but a reality.

But in this way, what did Ru Shunying do just now? Is it to mislead him into thinking that the current scene is a hallucination? But what is it for?

The words that Ru Shunhua said to himself in the previous hallucinations came to mind, and it seemed that for Ru Shunhua, such an illusion could be manipulated. So judging from the current situation, Ru Shunying should not have this ability?

Hao Dong's brain is a little knotted, and there are always some places where he feels that he can't straighten it out. But if the coffin was really his mother's body, he felt that it might be able to help him.

It's completely intuitive, but since the secret of his body should be related to brain memory, he won't ignore such things as intuition.

Hao Dong struggled for a long time, and finally decided to go over and have a look.

It's just that as soon as he lifted his leg, a huge gap suddenly opened on the wall on the right side, and bright light poured out from it at once, and at the same time, a white figure came out together, screaming and pounced on Hao Dong.

Hao Dong's reaction is not slow now, but he still couldn't escape such a sudden attack, and he was directly thrown to the ground.

The small flashlight he had been holding in his hand was knocked out and slammed into the ground not far away, and sparks suddenly burst into flames on the metal shell.

It turned out that there was electricity on the ground in front of him, and if he stepped out with this foot, he was afraid that he would be scorched!

However, before Hao Dong could recover from the shock, he felt that his body was light, and he was stopped by his waist and stood up. A familiar voice sounded in my ears: "Run!" ”

Hao Dong had already felt it at this time, and the ground under his feet was trembling! There was no time to ask Qi Jue what was going on, so he immediately followed Qi Jue's pace and retreated to the spiral staircase before and ran up.

Shirahoshi, who had disappeared behind him for a long time, followed closely and retreated rapidly. Hao Dong didn't have time to be surprised, now that Bai Xing's magic was unsuccessful, he had obviously reached the peak and reached the realm of perfection, and he couldn't understand it as a mortal with a physical body.

The staircase felt solid when it came down, but every iron rod was shaking at any moment, as if it was going to collapse at any moment.

Hao Dong ran a little panting, and his feet trembled a little as he stepped on the stairs, but his reason was a little bit back, and he asked while panting, "What's wrong?" ”

Qi Jue grabbed his hand: "This way." ”

Hao Dong was pulled off the spiral staircase by him and stood on another platform.

The platform is on the twentieth floor, with several doors on the walls around it. Hao Dong originally thought that behind these doors was probably the tower of the Ru family, but it turned out that behind the door that Qi Jue pushed open was actually a passage.

Actually, it's not accurate to say that it is a passage, it is like the interior of an old-fashioned clock tower, where various mechanisms and structures collude, and in the middle of these structures, whether metal or wood, there is a place where people can tread.

At this time, these interconnected structures are shaking slightly, and I don't know if they are running on their own, or if this place is driven by an earthquake.

Hao Dong was pulled by Qi Jue and ran into this door, the ground under his feet was unstable, and there was dust falling down his head. But he didn't have time to pay attention, Qi Jue dragged him through all kinds of iron pipes, wooden beams, and iron chains, and nooses, barely touching the ground.

It has been a long time since he has run like this, Hao Dong tried his best to adjust his breath to keep up, but Qi Jue's speed was really a bit beyond his tolerance level, and soon he felt that the pressure in his lungs was almost exploding, and he finally couldn't control his cough.

However, Qi Jue still didn't stop, just pulled him into his arms, grabbed his waist and continued to run forward with him.

Hao Dong hadn't bothered to think about the size of the mechanism that needed to support such a huge underground structure, and he finally saw a glimmer of light when he was running out of breath at this moment: a spiraling ramp on the opposite side of the door they had just come out of.

The outer side of the ramp should be fixed directly to the dirt and foundation next to it, and the stability is much higher than that of the middle platform and the floor of the house.

Qi Jue was already running like flying, but when he got here, his feet were more stable, and there was no beam above his head that could fall at any time, so he simply put Hao Dong on his back and ran up.

However, this is running from the bottom to the top, and speed is not Qi Jue's strong point, and it is even less fast when he is carrying a person on his back at this time.

Although he had tried his best, before he could see the exit, Hao Dong heard a loud rumbling sound overhead, and the bricks, stones, and wooden blocks immediately crackled down, and huge smoke and dust immediately spread down from the top.

Qi Jue, who has always been very calm, finally couldn't help but scold, "! But he didn't dare to make any more moves for a while. Because at this time, the ramp under their feet also trembled, and the amplitude was not small, Hao Dong felt that the ramp would collapse in the next second!

At this time, Qi Jue finally took out the phone and began to negotiate with someone. Hao Dong could hear that the anger between his movements was not ordinary, and it sounded as if Qi Cheng was in contact with Qi Cheng.

"What the hell do you want?"

Although there was trembling and shaking all around, Qi Jue was indeed angry before, but now that the phone was really connected, his voice couldn't hear too many emotional fluctuations, and it was still cold.

It's just that Hao Dong is by his side, and he can clearly see his face. If Qi Cheng was in front of them at this moment, he had no doubt that Qi Jue would definitely directly slash the other party with a sword.
