Chapter 16: Lantern Festival's Apology
After staying in the provincial hospital, I told my cousin to take good care of my second uncle and not make any mistakes. The other is to let him keep it a secret and not tell anyone in the family. My cousin has played with me since I was a child, and he patted his chest and promised that he would complete the task, and the second uncle handed it over to him to reassure me.
I ignored the obstruction of the doctor and my cousin, and the gauze on my head was not removed before I had time to be discharged.
As I was leaving, my cousin asked me where I was going. I told him that I was going to find the perpetrator, and the second uncle couldn't suffer this crime in vain!
Walking out of the hospital gate, the cold wind blew, which calmed me down, I turned around and went back to the ward, found my second uncle's mobile phone, wrote down a few phone numbers, and then walked out again, took a taxi, and went straight to the airport.
In the taxi, I made two phone calls, one was to Nie Zhenyun of the Nie family, the northwest is still dominated by the Nie family's forces, although the Tang family is also involved, for example, the Kong family is the Tang family's partner in the northwest, but their power is still not comparable to the Nie family. Although I can't let the Nie family stand up and help me openly fight against the Tang family, with the face of the second uncle, it is no problem for them to provide me with some help. Therefore, as soon as Nie Zhenyun received my call, he agreed to come down.
I called Shi Tao for the second time, but what worried me was that no one answered. In fact, I know in my heart that due to the car accident, we have lost the opportunity, and now the Tang family is afraid that it has succeeded, and I only care about two things now, one is that Kong Xue can return safely and soundly, and the other is that the second uncle wakes up as soon as possible.
After getting off the plane from Yinchuan, the car sent by Nie Zhenyun was already waiting at the airport gate, and I got in the car and went straight to the Kong family's villa. On the way, I called Shi Tao's phone again, but this time it became unreachable. Did something happen to them?
At this time, I was anxious and asked the driver to speed up, and when I was about to arrive at the gate of Kong's house, I saw two cars driving out of it.
The vehicles on both sides were staggered, and I suddenly found that it was Zhou Cheng sitting in one of the cars. A sudden uneasiness crossed my heart.
The car had just stopped in front of the villa, and I ran into it in three steps and two steps. In the hall on the first floor, Shi Tao stood in front of the window smoking a cigarette. And there was a person sitting on the sofa, and when I looked at it, it turned out to be Kong Xue!
Kong Xue's safe return made me breathe a sigh of relief, but it also meant that the statue of the Kong family's horse stepping snake had fallen into the hands of the Tang family.
Shi Tao looked up and saw me, and also saw the bandage on my head, his expression was stunned, "Zhuo Ran, your head?" Are you okay? ”
I waved my hand and didn't speak, Kong Xue, who was still holding a cup on the sofa in a daze, suddenly raised her head when she heard my name, and the cup in her hand almost rolled to the ground. When she confirmed that it was me, her eyes were full of surprise, "Zhuo Ran! What are you doing here? When she saw the wound on my head, Kong Xue's eyes widened, "What's the matter with the wound on your head?" Are you okay! ”
I smiled and shook my head, "Don't worry about me. How are you? You okay? They didn't bully you! ”
"Nope!" Kong Xue said: "It's just that I didn't expect them to do such a thing!" ”
I sneered, "The current Tang family, in order to achieve their goal, can do anything shameless!" ”
Shi Tao walked over, "It seems that the injury on your head may not be related to the Tang family!" ”
I nodded, and when I remembered my second uncle who was still in the hospital, my heart was full of anger! I settled down and said to Kong Xue and Shi Tao: "When I came here just now, I seemed to see Zhou Cheng? ”
Kong Xue gritted her teeth and said, "That's right, it's him!" It's useless to blame me, the horse snake left by my father fell into the hands of others! ”
Shi Tao hurriedly said: "Xiaoxue, you can't be blamed for this!" It can only be said that the Tang family is too despicable! ”
"yes!" I also spoke: "Speaking of which, I also have a lot of responsibility for this matter, when I was in Rongchang Pavilion that day, I should have thought of the Tang family's intentions. ”
Kong Xue let out a long sigh, "I understand what you said, but seeing that the group of people from the Tang family have achieved their goal, they should have been prepared, I am really a little unwilling!" ”
Oh, yes! I nodded silently in my heart, what should I do, I am no longer only competing with them for interests, we only see that we already have blood debts. Fortunately, the second uncle's life is not in danger, otherwise I would have let them fight with their lives!
At this moment, Shi Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, ......"
Before Shi Tao's words were finished, the access control system on the table rang, and the voice of the guy at the door came from inside, "Miss, Brother Tao, the person named Tang Yuanding who came just now is back again!" ”
Hearing this, my heart suddenly moved, and I heard what the guy meant, the Lantern Festival went and returned? But what is it for?
Kong Xue and I glanced at each other, and we both saw a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.
Shi Tao walked to the side of the access control system and said, "Let him in!" ”
Soon a guy led a man in, this person was none other than Lantern Festival.
Kong Xue saw Lantern Xiao coming in, and sneered, "Young Master Tang! Look at what else our Kong family has that you need, no need to kidnap, you can just take it! ”
Hearing Kong Xue's words, Lantern Xiao's face changed, "Kong Xue, don't say that." ”
Kong Xue snorted, "I was really blind at the beginning, and I would still believe you!" ”
Lantern Xiao's face became embarrassed, and he looked at me. I met his gaze, but I didn't speak, just looked at him coldly.
When Lantern Xiao saw me, her face changed, "Zhuo Ran, what's wrong with your head?" ”
I waved my hand impatiently, "You don't come to this set, how did I become like this, don't you know?!" ”
"Actually," Lan Xiao lowered her head, "Actually, I'm here this time to apologize!" This is really not what I want to see! ”
I became angry all of a sudden, and stepped in front of Lantern Xiao, "Apologize?!" I ripped off the clothes on my shoulder, pointed to the gunshot wound on my arm and said, "This is thanks to your Tang family, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's luck, I would have fallen to pieces by now!" Is this what you want to see? Then I pointed to the gauze on my head, "What about this?" The shot didn't kill me, I was hit by a car instead, did I? Let me tell you, I'm fine now, but my second uncle is still in a coma in the hospital! I raised my hand and pointed to the Lantern Festival and said, "If my second uncle has three long and two short, don't blame me for not being righteous, Lao Tzu will not let go of your father and son!" ”
After listening to my words, Lantern Xiao's face was full of surprise, "Zhuo Ran, I really don't know about this matter between you and the second uncle, it is absolutely impossible for me to let them do such a thing!" You have to trust me! ”
"Trust you?" I snorted, "I just trusted you too much before!" ”
Lantern Xiao sighed, "I know you won't forgive me at this time, but I came this time, and there is one more thing I want to tell you, the Tang family has invested a lot of strength in this operation, and in order to achieve the set goal, they will take all necessary means." ”
I can probably think of what the necessary means in this sentence of Lantern Festival refer to. In the middle of the desert, it is difficult to kill a few random people.
Shi Tao frowned slightly when he heard Lantern Xiao's words, "Are you threatening us?" ”
Lantern Xiao shook his head and said, "No, I just hope that you don't go into the desert, so as not to encounter both sides, and it won't be something I can control at that time!" ”
"Can you control it? Even if you don't go into the desert, what can you control? I pointed to the wound on my head, "That's what you're controlling?" ”
Lantern Xiao bit her lip tightly, "Zhuo Ran, I'm really sorry!" I didn't expect things to turn out like this! ”
I turned my head to the side, unwilling to listen to Lantern Xiao's explanation.
Lantern Xiao finally looked at the three of us, "Today, what I want to say is all over, if I can come back from the desert, I will definitely try my best to compensate you, I'm sorry!" After saying that, Lantern Xiao turned around and left.
After the Lantern Festival left, the three of us sat in the hall, but no one spoke. The last time we sat here, although we were worried about Uncle Kong's safety, we at least united and trusted each other at that time.
Now, such a short time has passed, and we have met each other at this time. Why did things turn out the way they are? I still haven't figured it out, but now that it's come to this, what can we do, do we let me turn away and pretend that nothing happened!
The three of them were silent for a long time, and suddenly, my phone rang, and I opened it to see that it was an email. Nine times out of ten, what kind of training course is, I raised my hand and was about to close, but at this moment, I suddenly thought of the situation before the last time I went to Qilian Mountain, that strange email, that strange photo, and the creepy red eyes on the photo!
What about this email? My heart beat faster at the thought of this, and I reached out and clicked on the email. The moment the email was opened, I was shocked, and sure enough, there was a problem with the email!
The email doesn't have any textual content, just a picture. I clicked on the picture and saw that it was a photo, and it was a black and white photograph of a vast desert. But in the middle of this desert, some huge strips and ruins are exposed to the desert surface. It seems that some huge building is buried in the middle of the desert.
Even though the building is incomplete, I can still feel its grandeur. I don't see what the hell this is.
In this ruined wall, I saw a few people scattered among them, as if they were searching for something.
The imaging of this photo is really not clear, and it can be seen that this is an old photo.
I stared at the photo on my phone, full of questions, who the hell is this? Why send me such a photo?
It was then that I noticed that the figure of a person in the photo felt familiar, especially the blurred face. I frowned and carefully identified it, and suddenly I realized that this person actually seemed to be Wenmo!
