Chapter 340: Father's Relic

At night, the room is quiet, and you can clearly hear the sound of fine needles rolling to the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Kai lifted the sheet covering his face, crossed his hands behind his head and let his head rest, and let out a slight sigh as he stared at the ceiling. He had insomnia and couldn't sleep.

The old clock in the living room outside the door rang again, and it was magnified in the quiet space, and Kai silently counted the number of rings in his heart, one, two, three, four, five, and then the room was silent again, it was already five o'clock in the morning, and he had not been able to fall asleep, and he had a good habit of exercising, waking up on time at half past six every day to go out, plus now he has a "shield" The important mission of exercising himself is even more impossible to take lightly, that is, he only has an hour and a half left to sleep at most, but he doesn't even know when he will be sleepy.

The others should have fallen asleep a long time ago, obviously they had just returned from another world, and they had encountered something like that during the day, and the physical and mental exhaustion must have accumulated a lot, and they couldn't get up and do push-ups to kill time.

But he alone couldn't sleep tonight.

Lin said what happened to them in the mountains and forests, a crowd armed with guns and weapons, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small army, through the description, you can know that it is not a group of people who are bound by law and morality, they can kill innocent and strange people at will, even children, it means that it is a group of outlaws, plus laser-like weapons full of science fiction, as long as they want, they can even launch a terrorist attack on this small city at any time.

But they didn't do anything like that, and even with a certain amount of firepower, they only nested in the depths of the mountain for some unknown reason.

Kai knew that in this ordinary city, there could only be one person with such a thing as military strength, he had enough money, as well as enough skills and ability, as long as he had his own plans, he could build an unknown army for himself in the shadows.

Jonah, a retired soldier, proficient in many skills, social, financial, networked, etc., as well as his tough strength and fearlessness, placed in any corner of the world, such a person is a sharp sword that cannot be pressed by everything. But that person did not make his name resounding on the world stage, he deliberately hid himself behind the scenes, secretly controlling huge industries and enterprises, involving a wide range of industries, from heavy industry to the Internet, and privately there are arms and other transactions that cannot be seen, many well-known enterprises at home and abroad, on the surface, cooperate with each other and involve each other, but in fact, behind the scenes, it is just a co-starring play to create the current situation, and Jonah, sitting on an invisible high seat, controls everything.

No one knew about the man, and no one knew his specific identity, and sometimes he was just a disguised cadre employee, or just hanging out as the president of a small company. The only people who knew about him were two, one was his son and the other was his grandson.

But even so, Kai still knew that he didn't know his grandfather, or rather, he both knew and didn't understand, that was really a mysterious old man, at least when he couldn't understand that person deeply, looking at his back image was looking at a cold statue that wouldn't collapse and wouldn't speak.

When he was a child, his father had a big quarrel with his grandfather, about the reason for the quarrel, the process, Kai didn't know anything, only knew that his mother had just died at that time, and his father, who was loving and gentle in his memory and had always been obedient to his grandfather, broke out angry and fierce for the first time, like a lion who raised his head to resist, and the sunset that day was full of red light that was as oppressive as blood, and the final result was a break, no longer involved, and his father broke off the father-son relationship with his grandfather, and left the original home with himself, and there has been no contact since then.

Kai, do you know why I named you Kai, Kai is armor, armor, strong steel, it means to protect yourself and behind you, you have to learn and become strong, become invulnerable, nothing can disturb you and hurt you, let alone manipulate you at will, you have to be like steel that stands still, not duckweed that will be blown away and torn in the wind......

This is the only thing I can give you on my own, and it has nothing to do with that man......

You have to decide and control your own future, don't become a second self......

That man has no heart, only incomprehensible desires......

......

Kai sat down on the bed, the more he wanted to calm down, the more uncontrollable thoughts poured out, messing up in his head, he patted his cheeks, put on his coat and leaned against the wall, the bed was placed in the room by the window, it was still raining outside before going to bed, he closed the window, and at the moment it was quiet outside, he opened the curtains, and the clear and cold light came in, hitting his stiff skin.

"Give up, give up, I can't sleep tonight. Kai muttered to himself, and then couldn't help but pick up the picture frame placed on the bedside table.

The frame depicts a man of modest size, with the same brown skin and black hair as Kai, and the contours of his facial features, which is his father, a mixed race like himself, but unlike Kai, who was physically fit when he was young, although his father has the same ethnic ancestry, but does not reflect his advantages, on the contrary, he is sickly, his cheeks are thin, and the man in the photo has a slight smile, which is also different from Kai's sunny smile, the man's smile is tired and reluctant.

Speaking of which, I could still show such a hearty smile at that time, Kai thought to himself, until not long after, his father and mother also died, it seems that he was overworked, and then died in an accident, plus he himself was in poor health, and he also had a disease, and he was not rescued in time, so he followed his mother to Huangquan.

Regarding his father's death, his grandfather didn't say anything, as if he said that if there was no relationship, there was really nothing, and there was still the same blood in his body, but the blood relationship between the two was as thin as paper.

What are you thinking, in the past, when you quarreled with your father, when you were alone, or when you were a strong man, when you suffered setbacks, and when your father died...... Kai thought in his heart, but how could he think about it thoroughly, he knew that his grandfather had no father and no mother in his early years, his wife died, and later he had no grandchildren, such a man was a lonely and strong man, so when there was no one around, wouldn't he feel lonely?

"I really don't understand you, grandpa. Kai sighed again.

Kai glanced at the alarm clock at the head of the bed, it was not yet six o'clock at the moment, it was still early before the stipulated time to go out, and there was still nearly an hour to consume, Kai got dressed and got out of bed while thinking about things, he didn't turn on the light, took out a can of cold beer from the refrigerator and sat on the sofa in the living room, sitting alone in the dark drinking cold liquid.

Go to Grandpa, he has a plan in mind.

Whether it's related to him or not, at least ask about it, you should be able to receive me, the last time it seemed more vexatious in the eyes of ordinary people, he agreed, didn't he?,Although it's a delicate relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.,But if it's a reason for the persecution of the most important friends.,Ask him about things involving secret transactions and plans.,Maybe there's something you might get the answer you want.。

Kai, you want to be a steel that will not fall, not a duckweed that will be blown away if you put it in the wind......

At that time, what was his father thinking about writing, what did he remember, the experiences that affected him, and his own inner struggle and determination.

"I know, Dad," Kai said to the empty room with his head resting on the back of the sofa, "Now that I have something I want to hold onto, it won't just fall apart like duckweed, and I will, pluck up the courage to talk to grandpa." ”

After a long time, calm down, those memories that have been around the past are crowded in the brain again, Kai suddenly found, let alone grandpa, even if his father is a man, he seems to have not been able to fully understand, when he was young, he couldn't understand adults, and after his father passed away, he was immersed in loss and loneliness, and after meeting Ling and others, he enjoyed the hard-won beautiful fetters and life with all his heart, and never faced the past seriously.

Man is a painful creature that refuses to grieve, so for a long time, his heart subconsciously let those past events be sealed in the depths that are difficult to reach, and subconsciously want to abandon the past, but now, these things that have been to escape have finally come back to him.

Kai suddenly thought that after his father's death, the relevant relics were sorted out and placed in the storage room on the second floor.

He tossed aside the beer cans he hadn't finished drinking, turned on the lights in the living room in the dark, turned on all the switches along the way, the road to his destination gradually opened up, he went upstairs and walked to the innermost room, it was a forgotten and dusty place, no one cared for it for many years, the doorknobs were rusty, Kai vaguely remembered that all the keys in the house were backed up, and hung together in the drawer on the bottom of the bedside table in the house where his father used to live, and now the room was cleaned by Kai and became a guest room for inviting friends to spend the night.

So he trotted all the way down to find the key, and went back the way he came, and the moment he stood in front of the door, he felt an indescribable tension in his heart, obviously entering his own house, but it was as if he was about to open the door of the unknown, in which something that he had never known and could not imagine was waiting, sleeping.

He opened the door, and there was a slight choking smell in the room, which had long since become a dusty colony.

Kai groped around the wall, found the switch and pressed it a few times, the light did not turn on as guessed, and it was also a place that no one had taken care of for many years, and no one knew that the bulb was broken, so he took a flashlight. Kai had to walk cautiously in the utility room, with the help of the light of the flashlight in the clutter looking for something that looked like his father's relics, and finally his eyes locked on a desk that was thrown in the corner, in his memory, his father seemed to take time out every night to sit at the table and write something, every time it came to an end, that tired face was dyed with a kind of joy and vitality, young Kai, failed to understand this change in his father at the beginning.

The man in the photo is standing with him as a child, with the man standing behind Kai and putting his hand on his shoulder.

Kai approached the table, there were many books and books on the table, and the books were full of dust, he was under the light, and he didn't bother to estimate the dust, he brushed off the dust from the books one by one, confirmed by the title of the book, and finally pulled out a small book that was pressed on the lowest layer, he blew away the ash on it, and the cover was not written on it, just an ordinary notepad, he opened it, and found that what was written on it was what his father did every day, and what he was going to do next.

The paper was damaged, and it was difficult to see in many places.

X, X, X, X

... I have decided to leave my father's control and live on my own, I still have a child, not only for him, but also for myself, and I want to try to start a new life...

X, X, X, X

I've been running around for the past few days, although I've been thinking about how difficult it will be to get out of that man's control all the time, but I'm a father, an adult, not the child who doesn't know anything but obeys his father, so I have to continue to work hard, my son has been very lost recently, and he looks scared, I'm not sure if I really understand his feelings, but I know, it's just that the family is scattered, I want to give him a bright life, I hope he can come out of this darkest time with me...

X, X, X, X

... I finally got a job today, I hope this is a good start, and when I earn money, I will take my son out on a trip, I want to take him to see the world, and it can be regarded as a dream for myself, I hope to see the world at my own pace, in my own way....

X, X, X, X

When my son came back, he said that he was bullied at school, I comforted and enlightened him, and left that person, I also experienced a lot, and understood a lot of things that should have been understood a long time ago, it must be because of the family split, which caused him to be depressed, in the new school, the unsociable child will inevitably be rejected and bullied by others, all of this has my reasons, but I hope that he can grow up healthily, but also grow up correctly, I will not overprotect him, but will teach him, to learn to protect himself.....

X, X, X, X

... The health is getting worse and worse, the doctor said that he will be hospitalized to recuperate, but I don't have the time and money to spare, but fortunately Kai has finally grown up, since I left that home, I changed his name to Kai, and now he is growing up as strong as I expected, but I can't seem to help him untie the knot...

X, X, X, X

... Today's son's birthday, when I couldn't keep watching, I suddenly found that he has really grown up a lot, getting taller and stronger, and he also began to comfort me and persuade me to rest, it's good, I still have such a son...

X, X, X, X

... The body is getting worse and worse, often feeling tired and sleepy, at this time I think of my son by my side with me, I feel that everything is not so bad, although I don't want to say, but I still think of that person, he also has me such a feeling, the same father, at this time I should have understood the father of the year, but I still can't understand, I hated him so much, and now I am relieved...

......

Kai sat on the dusty floor with the light on, flipping through the entire diary, and he tasted every page carefully, as if it was a delicacy that can only be eaten once in a lifetime, and it was indeed yes, it was left by his father, and it was something that represented him in the end, looking at the moment when his father recorded it, it was as if he had traveled back to the past, this time standing by his father's side, watching his young self and his father walk side by side.

He felt that his eyes were wet and hot, and tears were dripping and wetting the withered yellow pages, Kai was shocked, and immediately removed the notebook and wiped his tears vigorously, but the tears couldn't be wiped dry at all.

This is a sudden thing falling out of the book, Kai is fortunate to be able to catch the fall of this little thing with hazy tears in such a dark environment, he picked it up, and found that it was a photo, it was exactly the same as the photo frame at his bedside, the man stood behind his son and pressed his shoulder, the two of the few group photos, but it was the brand of the most beautiful and difficult time.

Kai knows, he has always known, even if he was young and ignorant at the time, but also understood that since then there is no grandfather's support and help, and there is no mother's company, only his father is left alone in the family to carry everything, working hard from scratch to earn money, and raising children alone, the hardships of which are still students Kai can not personally experience, but at least, once upon a time, he found that his father was old, when he walked with his father, at that time his father was still a man who spent money casually, taking himself to the street, he could bring himself what he wanted, at that time he felt that his father was omnipotent, and he looked up at his father and felt that this person was so tall, is the most powerful person in the world.

But later, he gradually found that his father was no longer as high-spirited as he was back then, but the smile on his face added more and more tiredness, Kai looked at this photo, recalling that time, it was a summer, his father and he went out to play together, and met a photographer who visited from abroad, and the other party was eager to take pictures of the father and son, and it was also at that time, Kai put on a posture and waited for the light to flash in front of the camera with great interest.

Father's hand suddenly pressed up, he felt very heavy, he was dissatisfied, wanted to resist his father, frowned and looked up, saw his father's equally happy smiling face, he suddenly saw the white hair on his father's head, at that moment, he felt that this man was no longer the omnipotent person who stood up to the sky and the earth back then, he was old, heroic no more, but he will always exist in Kai's heart.

My father worked hard for himself all his life, and he changed from that heroic man to a thin uncle.

Kai continued to flip through the diary, and found that there were gradually more fragments of his father recalling his grandfather, that is, his father's father, and the boy only understood what his father said and did when he became a father, which is normal, but in Kai's father's record, there has always been confusion about Kai's grandfather, but even so, his father still went from being reluctant to get involved at the beginning, to relieving the past, and then to nostalgia for the past.

At the end of the diary, the date is no longer continuous, it was when my father's physical illness was at its worst, but he still worked with his illness, and he only had the opportunity to write it every once in a while.

Kai flipped through the last diary and found that there was another photo in it, which was an even older black and white photo, the same old and young, less in front, old in the back, the old man was wearing a casual outfit, and the boy was dressed in a role costume that seemed to be a film and television work, which can be called cospaly in the current era, which is very in line with the symbol of the harmony between father and son in an ordinary family, and the man standing behind also put his hands on the young man's shoulders, and he couldn't see whether the expression was laughing.

The two photos are identical, except that the characters in them have changed, and of course, the young man has also become an adult, a father, and his children are supported by his hands, as if they have crossed the mark of time.

The clock outside sounded crisply, it was no longer one o'clock in the morning, Kai knew that this was the characteristic of the old clock, and it would ring at half an o'clock, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, at six o'clock in the morning, it was time for morning exercises, so he took away the photos in the diary, went downstairs and turned off the small alarm clock, changed into sportswear, and stuffed his wallet, mobile phone, keys, and these items around him with the photos into his pocket.

Walked to the gate, just about to open the door, suddenly remembered something, he was silent for a moment, slowly turned to look at the silent house, this house, is also an important thing to record the time when he and his father left his grandfather to live together, is this house, every corner, seems to stay in the phantom of the year, he seems to see the sofa in the living room, his father smiled and stroked his head, he was lying on the table to cut the birthday cake that his father brought back, it was also that daytime, they went out to play together, as a birthday gift, took photos together。

"Then I'm out of the house, Dad. Ever since he decided to go for a morning run, told his father and received support, he would say it every morning, and then his father's answer came from the house, and until his death, he didn't get rid of this habit, but no one responded to him anymore.

Kai unscrewed the doorknob, just pushed the door open, the bright light suddenly lit up in front of him, piercing his eyes, Kai was shocked, there was a hand in front of him, slowly opened the door completely, after adapting to the sudden bright light, he found that he was listening to a black stretch car in front of his door, I don't know when it was quietly lurking in the night, just waiting for himself to push the door as a signal, the car's engine suddenly started, and the car made a slight beep.

A sturdy man in a suit and sunglasses got out of the car and stood behind the open door, bowing respectfully like a waiter.

"Mr. Kai, I've been waiting for a long time, and the boss wants you to meet him, so I've come to invite you," said the man in the suit politely, "and he will provide you with breakfast and a room to rest as a sign of sincerity." ”

"Boss?" Kai thought to himself, looking at the scene in front of him to meet the distinguished guests, he was a poor student with no identity, how could He De have this treatment, and there could only be one situation he could think of, "My grandfather?"

"It's Mr. Jona," said the man in the suit again, "and he's waiting for you on the VIP floor of the Black Sun Company." ”

The other party has already made his identity clear, he does not evade or refuse to answer tactfully, it seems that he is powerful, it is indeed the man's iron-fisted style, Kai thought that he was going to find him, but the other party came to the door first.

"What a coincidence," said Kai, "I'm going to meet him during the day today, and I'm sorry to have you waiting here so early, but I've booked a time for my morning run, so please come back, and I'll be alone after that." He weighed the weight of his words and politely refused.

"If it's running, the entertainment area on the VIP floor is equipped with equipment for guests who love fitness," the man in the suit immediately replied, it seemed that the other party also thought of the rejection, and came completely prepared, "Please get in the car." ”

The conversation has reached this point, and it has already shown that it cannot be refused, and if it continues to be postponed, there may be some chaos, Kai thought that this group of people would inevitably carry guns and other murder weapons in their hands. He knew that his grandfather had come to him so deliberately, something must have happened, maybe it had something to do with what happened to Suzu and them yesterday.

He gradually felt that this trip was more than auspicious, even if the other party was his grandfather, it seemed that Guan Erye went to the meeting alone, but it was hard to say whether he had the martial saint power and strength like Yun Chang.

"Let's go. He took a deep breath, and even if he was mentally prepared, he didn't dare to let people wait for him.

Kai closed the door with his back to him, and at the last moment before the door closed, he suddenly felt his back tremble like an electric current, and a loving voice seemed to come from the room.

Well, be careful on the road and come back early.

The man's voice said in a trance.

The door closed completely with a "bang", Kai felt a warm heart, and then mustered up the courage to get into the car.
