Chapter 377: A Stormy Night, Part II
For the third time, in this dark and rainy night, Lin saw the light that made him scared, the snow was bright and bright like the coldest light, the kind of cold, it was the cold that could flow into the body and make the whole body nervous and chill, more than the cold carried by the rain that wet the body. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
And this time, the lights were no longer one or two, they were full of ten figures, and they appeared around the corner not far away, the engine sounded softly, the tires rubbed against the wet road, and the whole black car drove out from the front, and the street behind the five people magically drove out, exactly the same armored car that Lyle destroyed just now, there were more than twenty of them at the moment, and the five people were completely surrounded in all directions.
Three hundred and sixty degrees were all dazzling cold light, making Suzu feel like a fugitive criminal, and at this moment he was finally discovered by the helicopter pursued by the police, and completely exposed them to everyone's field of vision with the light.
"There are so many, where did they all come from?" Lyle held his hand in front of him, and it was too much light to open his eyes.
"Has it been lurking all along?" Xiao Fan asked with her eyes closed, a large piece of light lit up, and her eyes ached for a moment.
"Probably like this, this is no longer a turtle in an urn, but a toy trick on us," Lin smacked his lips, "Compared with the current situation, the single car just now, and even the chase just now, are just for the enjoyment of the people behind the scenes in this roundup, it's really annoying." β
"No," Kai said suddenly, "I think this is just the person who sits behind the scenes, the main means of carrying out the action, bringing danger to the target, but deliberately leaving omissions in the invisible place, making the target think that there is hope, so he keeps moving forward under that illusion, until the critical moment, he pushes out all the cards in his hand, all hope, is just a foreshadowing for the final despair." β
"That's even more nasty, isn't it. Suzu complained.
"It annoys me even more. Lin also said.
All the armored vehicles sounded at the same time as the doors opened, and armed men in uniform jumped out of the cars, wearing special armor, helmets on their heads, black spears in their hands, and black suits inside, as if this round-up was a banquet for the exchange of people from the upper class.
It's better to say that it is the man who controls all this, who has been in the habit for many years, he wanders between business and politics, and even shuttles through the dark side of society, he straightens himself like a blood-drinking spear all the time, every time he is invited, it is like going to the battlefield, fully armed, and when he really sets foot on the battlefield, it is as solemn and arrogant as going to a banquet.
The men stood by in front of the car, all brushing and holding spears, dozens of muzzles around them, pointing at the five people in the center, as if they were executed.
"Is it really the group of people I met in the mountains," Suzu said, "so who are they, and why they are so attached to us, is it because we accidentally strayed into their hiding place?" β
"No, I always feel like it's not that simple," Lin said as he tensed his nerves, the situation at the moment could turn into a chaotic battle at any moment, "I can't say why, it's just that I have a gut feeling." β
"Why didn't they shoot us right away? Shouldn't this be the best time?" Lyle asked.
In this regard, Lin only shook his head.
"I think that's enough for him to just make me feel hopeless," Kai said suddenly, wiping the rain from his face meaninglessly as the four of them stared at him in bewilderment, and took two steps forward. After all, the rain was still falling, but it couldn't give that person a feeling of embarrassment, "I know, you're there, grandpa!"
Before everyone could express their confusion, in the row of convoys directly ahead, the only black sedan without special armor was ignited, the wheels slowly turned, and the sedan drove out of the convoy, facing the direction of Kai Zhanli.
At the intersection of everyone's eyes, the door of the sedan also opened, and an old man in a suit and leather shoes walked out, he opened the folding umbrella, approached the inside of the encirclement network, walked towards the position of five people, and entered the center of the stormy stage.
Ling thought, this is the first time they have seen Kai's grandfather, after all, they hadn't even heard from Kai that he had a grandfather before, and now think about it, maybe for what reason, Kai deliberately drew his grandfather out of his life.
It's wind and rain again, and it's fate hanging by the muzzle, in this kind of bad situation that can't be worse, the man who is Kai's grandfather must have done anything unusual, which is why the relationship with Kai has deteriorated so much.
"What a tiger...... he sighed softly. When the old man finally approached, Lin saw the comer clearly, not only his appearance, but also the aura, and the loneliness in his eyes, which made him feel that the other party was the real hunter, and he was just one of the little white rabbits.
He thought that he would not dare to meet the eyes of such a person, and his heart would be nervous as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake in the mouth.
"I knew you were here," said Jonah, who saw his face peeking out from under the umbrella, expressionless like an uncarved block of ice, "though there is too much arrogance in the ignorance of young men, but you are not the kind of coward who would be trapped in a room. β
"Of course I won't be trapped here, don't use a one-meter-thick steel plate to make a cage, don't try to trap me inside," Kai said unceremoniously, maybe because he had the same blood in his body, or maybe this old man had left a little memory for himself in his childhood, so that he could face Jonah's gaze without fear, "It's really ruthless, with grandpa's wrist, this playground has become a chessboard for you to accomplish your purpose tonight." β
"No, not a chessboard, the chessboard is a fair game," said the old man, "but here it is only me, and you who are my prey." β
"There's a bunch of gears for you to send, isn't it? Kai spread out his hand, looked at the men waiting around him, and said sarcastically.
"But if you really want to stay in that room like a coward until tomorrow the house inspectors come and knock on the door and call you away, none of this will happen tonight, it should be said, none of it has anything to do with you, you don't have to be drenched in the rain and gunned out, and you don't have to fear that you will lose your life," said Jonah, "and how you will live and how you will live after that." β
He paced, walked to Kai's side, and whispered, "Is it because you are too reckless, you can't figure out this truth if you don't think about the result when you do things, no one doesn't want to live by themselves." β
Lyle stared nervously at the old man he had never met, watching the old man walk up to Kai and whisper, it was clear that they were so close to each other, but the old man's gaze did not linger on them for a moment, or in the old man's eyes, they were like air, and they were not worth his attention at all.
Lin suddenly understood, and the old man said that they were all his prey. The prey, it is enough to hand over the group of hunting dogs he brought, whether it is a white rabbit or a lion elephant, as long as it is listed as a prey by that man, it is just an ant, so he only talks to Kai, maybe originally, this hunt, he didn't even need to come in person, and he came here, but he was his grandson, which affected his plan.
"As I said, if my friends are hurt, I will definitely be by their side to protect them, even if it is grandpa you, if it is not good for them, I will stand in front of you, even if it is to wave your fist down you. Kai clenched his fists and responded to the old man who was close at hand.
The two of them were talking, and Suzu, who was behind her, poked Lyle and Lin in the waist and winked at them.
"How the hell did we get out of here?"
"If you attack strongly, you should be able to break through, although you may get hurt. Lyle replied.
"Don't act rashly, this is a lot of twists and turns, the ghost knows if the old man is still buried in a deeper chess game," Lin said, "and, looking at the current state, Kai's mood is very uncalm, the two of them are in a state of stalemate, let's wait and see what happens, those men should not shoot us casually." β
"Why?" Xiao Fan asked confusedly, "I obviously wanted to kill us, but I never let my subordinates shoot." β
"Probably," Lin pushed his glasses and looked at the old man and the young man leaning against each other in front of him, "I want to use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with his grandson." β
Jonah put his hand on Kai's shoulder, unhurriedly around behind him, and his tone was light like a parent enlightening a child.
"Are you still too young, too naΓ―ve, too ignorant, to think that you can do everything you decide with that impulse in your body?" said Jonah. It's just a fool's dream, and when you see more in the future and experience more cruelty, you can understand that the only thing that people can grasp everything they want is not an ethereal belief, not the kind of miracle that can be done by yelling a word or two, but even turning yourself into a pawn, any shackles that affect your mood are obstacles, and it will only make you accelerate close to death on the road ahead, and become something that your opponent can use, even hope and despair, etc., are things you can use. β
"Yes, it's just that you've set your goal," Jonah leaned closer to Kai's ear, his voice soft as a ghost's bewitchment, "and the rest is to lay everything under your feet and pave your way to your target." β
"I'm sorry, I can't listen to your big truths," Kai stiffened his face, his tone was unfriendly, and even a feeling of anger, "Can you stay away from me, your own umbrella to protect yourself from the rain, don't let it block me, I'm standing in the same space with you now, I just feel irritable, I'd rather be in the rain with my friends." β
Jonah was neither angry nor said much. Politely remove your umbrella.
"You are indeed like your father, this attitude of not listening to people, and the stupidity of not knowing things, and the stupidity of being hopeless. He turned his back and opened his mouth as if to express the feelings of rotten wood.
Rotten wood, Kai's father, has no value like rotten wood.
Kai was immediately angry, originally during this time, he was already upset when he saw his grandfather, and as soon as the malicious words came out at this moment, the things that were blocked in his heart turned into irritable anger, which could not be contained.
Kai stepped forward, grabbed Jonah's shoulders and forced him to look at himself, grabbed his scarf hard, glared at him fiercely, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out.
"Don't slander my father!" Kai roared at the old man, like a dragon that had been touched by the scales, "He's a great man, not a worthless piece in your mouth, and not a discardable pawn!"
He grabbed Jonah by the tie, but Jonah stood there as if he were connected to the earth, and no matter how hard Kai tried, the other party did not move.
"As I said, everything around you is a pawn, even yourself," Jonah remained calm, not in the slightest flustered by Kai's actions, "You said that you fought for your friends, and would stand by their side to protect them, even if you died?" β
"As long as they can live. Kai gritted his teeth in response.
Jonah shook his head, as if he had lost confidence in the person in front of him, he suddenly grabbed Kai's wrist, took Kai's hand on his tie, and removed it little by little.
Kai never stopped exerting his strength, but Jonah's movements seemed to carry a command that he could not resist, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not slow down the tendency and speed of his hand to be removed a little.
"Idiot!" Jonah roared suddenly, like the first roar of a long-sleeping lion, which could shake the heavens and the earth, and Kai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"If you die, there will be nothing, do you think you will be able to satisfy yourself by protecting them, but you are indeed dead, what is death, is nothingness, nothing, everything you have ever had, slowly passing, those who survive under your protection, they may still remember you at first, remember everything that happened when you were alive, but it will always be washed away by time!"
"When they are alive, they can continue to be together, watching each other laugh and laugh every day, but you, after that short period of false self-satisfaction, can only sleep cold underground, and you can't hear the laughter of those who survive because of you, and you yourself have no ability to laugh. β
"Kai, if you die, you really have nothing, and gradually be forgotten by anyone, everything you have lived and experienced, only you can remember," Jonah grabbed Kai's wrist and pulled it to the side, pulling his hand like a tear and pain, "This world is extremely cruel, only those who survive can be proud, so people are even more ruthless than the world, if you don't work hard to survive, then the qualification to survive will fall into the hands of others, he will be happy to cheer because of this, and who would have thought that you died because of this?"
Kai has never seen such a grandfather, after all, he has never understood this person, he has always thought that this person is the kind of person who does it behind the scenes or in a high place, while strategizing, watching others suffer and thinking about his own interests, but he never thought that this old man would also stand at the forefront and let out a lion tiger-like roar.
He almost forgot that his grandfather, who used to be a soldier, had participated in many battles, large and small, supported many remote countries as an Allied power, and sacrificed his life countless times, until one of the most brutal battles, he returned to his hometown with the name of the sole survivor, and since then he has quit the army and chosen to become a businessman.
After so many years, this man has not faded a little because of his identity as a businessman, and the shadow of a soldier, even if he loses that rule and solemnity, his fierce strength and deterrent strength are still firmly in his body.
Jonah let go of his hand, Kai immediately pulled his hand back and rubbed it, this old man's grip strength seemed to be not human, if it was an ordinary person's wrist, it was estimated that he had broken his bones.
"I don't understand what my grandfather said, it's like I've seen through the world, I haven't even walked out of this town, of course not as much as my grandfather knows," Kai rubbed his wrist, he bowed slightly, but didn't bend down, "But I don't think I'm insisting on wrong things and bad things, I said that even if I fight hard, I will protect them, and I will never break my word because of this, this is the determination I have gone all the way through this time." β
Jonah looked down at Kai with a condescending air and a cold face on his face.
"You said you want to protect, is it the people behind you now," Jonah didn't ask Suzu and the others, just pointed casually, "You can see clearly, the people you said you were determined to protect are being pointed at dozens of guns, and further away, there are more ambushes waiting to point their guns at them, and none of you can escape from here." β
"You can't even protect yourself anymore, and you still want to be able to protect others?" Jonah patted Kai on the shoulder again, as if a last word of advice, At this time, the most correct thing to do is to use everything around you to keep yourself alive, and I can tell you now, if you don't do anything and leave here, and don't care about those few people, then you can still see the sun tomorrow morning, don't you also know, the morning light, the beauty is reluctant to forget, even if it is to see the rising sun, you shouldn't die in this stormy night. β
Kai chuckled, and he took a few steps back, smashing Jonah's hand off his shoulder.
"Grandpa, do you know that the beauty is not only the morning sun," Kai said, "I have seen the most beautiful night sky in the world, under which people live on their own tracks." β
"I think it's great to walk under that night sky with my friends, it's much better than going to see the morning sun by myself," Kai straightened up, his waist straightened, "I don't know who you're trading with, grandpa, and for what reason you want our lives, if you want to, let your men shoot now, even if it's lying in the cold underground, at least I drink the wine my friends pour on me every year, that's much more than sitting alone in the house and drinking wholesale canned beer sticks." β
"What nonsense," Ling walked to Kai's side and slapped him in the stomach with the back of his hand, "I'll stand aside and listen to your grandfather and grandson chattering that your ears are calloused, and there is no result, let me tell you, Kai, we all know that you have been working hard to protect us, and we will protect you, protect this kind of thing, isn't it mutual, otherwise what kind of friends are there to talk about." β
"Since we're friends, it's right for everyone to sit down and drink together. Lin also stepped forward and slapped Kai on the back.
"If it's just beer...... After all, we are not adults......" The good words were all finished by the two, and Xiaofan followed alongside to play haha, but the mood was the same.
"Having someone with you is always better than being alone. Finally Lyle stepped forward, and the five of them stood together again.
The rain showed no signs of stopping, and the rain hit the umbrella, and Jonah's face seemed a little cloudy under the umbrella, and he raised his wrist to look at his watch.
"Really, delaying my trip," Jonah said, "there's no time left for you kids." β
Under everyone's astonished gaze, he suddenly threw away his umbrella, took off his suit jacket, untied his tie, and his shirt also faded, and it was not a pity to throw thousands of clothes on the ground, which was full of stagnant water, and let the raindrops hit his skin countless times.
"Okay, you said you'd protect them here, okay, I'll give you a chance, you don't need them to shoot," Jonah said, "Remember when you came to me to train yourself before, at that time we were fighting one-on-one, you said that this time gave you enlightenment, then this time you will take your consciousness with you, and come and try with me again, if you insist that you are right, you will win me, then I will let all of you live tonight, otherwise, you will all die here." β
He moved his body, and the bulging muscles of his upper body made people wonder if it was really an old man standing in front of him, not an upright and middle-aged wrestler.
"Don't be impulsive, even fools can't see that he is not a simple opponent. Lin frowned and stopped Kai.
But Kai shook his head and stopped Lin who was about to step forward.
"No, this is the best, some battles can indeed only be fought by one person," Kai said, "Don't worry, I'm not an impulse, I didn't say that I was bent on my own way, this is just my way to protect you, if you want to protect me, just cheer me up in the back, I can't speak, and some things I want to tell grandpa can only be through fists." β
Xiao Fan and Suzu looked at Kai's back worriedly, Suzu just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lyle, Suzu turned around and saw Lyle shaking his head to himself wordlessly.
"At this time, let's just watch," he said, and then looked at Kai, "You go Kai, but if there is a situation that is out of range, we will do it." β
Kai took a deep breath, wiped the rain from his face, looked at Jonah who was three paces away, and raised his fists.
