Chapter 123: The Price of Life
When I got home, I felt a little hungry and didn't bother to go downstairs for dinner, and there was a bucket of instant noodles in the refrigerator, which I could barely cope with.
Lying on the bed, I thought that this trip to Beijing was quite smooth, not only the Zhang Fatzi incident has greatly improved the status of our branch in the group, and has become the benchmark of all branches, but also Mu Xichun's proposal to set up a construction team has also been successfully passed.
It seems that I may be busy for a while in the future, but thinking of what Mu Xichun said to let me manage the construction company, I can't help but feel excited in my heart, not only the previous unconfidence is swept away, but full of confidence.
Thinking that he would also be in the top management of the company in the future, he couldn't help but be a little excited.
As long as I make achievements by myself and prove my ability in front of Mu Zhongren at that time, I believe that Mu Zhongren will reconsider the matter between me and Mu Xichun, even if it is just to change some of his views on himself, it is good.
As long as a crack opens in the so-called iron embankment in the anthill, I believe that as long as I persevere, I will eventually be able to make him accept me.
Thinking about a bright future, I couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, it was completely dark outside the window, replaced by gradually brighter street lamps and neon, and the world was full of colorful light.
I forcibly retracted my illusions and was ready to rest so that I could be in the best shape for the good fortune that was to come.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I remembered that the alarm clock on my mobile phone had not been turned on, and I took the mobile phone only to find that I had turned off the mobile phone when boarding the plane in Beijing and had not turned it on until now, so I turned it on again and set the alarm clock.
After doing this, I felt that everything was ready, and then I lay down again.
Just as my consciousness dissipated and I was about to fall asleep, my phone suddenly rang rapidly.
I fumbled for my phone in a daze, squinted and saw that it was Li Liang calling, and I didn't know what was the matter with this kid calling at this time.
"Old Wei, have you come back from Beijing?" As soon as I pressed the answer button, before I could speak, Li Liang asked urgently, listening to her tone, it seemed that she had something important to tell me.
"You just came back, what's the matter?"
"Did Anne come to you?" After listening to my answer, Li Liang immediately asked.
"No, what happened?" From Li Liang's tone, I could hear that something must have happened to Anne, and I couldn't help but feel completely sleepy.
"I just found out that something happened to Anne's father!"
I was shocked, and although I had been prepared for it in my heart, I was still shocked to hear this result.
"Have you been checked? Is there a result? Is it serious? I asked urgently.
"What's been checked? That's just a lie that Anne's father deliberately deceived her in order to make Anne accept the inheritance he deliberately left her! Li Liang's emotions on the other end of the phone became a little excited.
"Legacy? What legacy? "I'm a little confused.
“……”
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and my heart gradually sank with his silence, and a hint of foreboding suddenly flashed in my head!
"What legacy? What do you mean? Say it quickly! I asked eagerly.
Anne's father...... It's dead! After a long silence, Li Liang said in a low tone.
I chuckled in my heart, like a muffled thunderbolt, and it hit my heart at once! I couldn't help but twitch all over my body.
"What, what's going on? Why is this happening? Tell me about it! "I'm a little incoherent,

My mind went blank for a moment, and I didn't expect this to be the result anyway.
Anne had clearly said that he had just violated discipline and was going to be investigated by the organization, but how could things suddenly develop like this? It suddenly occurred to me that Li Liang seemed to have said that these were all lies that Anne's father had deliberately told to Anne in order for Anne to accept his inheritance.
In this way, there was no violation of discipline at all, but there was another reason, and he couldn't help but urge Li Liang loudly: "What happened?" You mean! ”
I heard Li Liang sigh silently on the other end of the phone, and then slowly spoke.
"Anne called me in the evening and asked me where I was, and I said I had gone back to my hometown. She asked me again, where are you? Why is your phone not working? I said that you went to Beijing on a business trip and came back this afternoon, and the phone couldn't get through probably because you were on the plane back. ”
"Anne's tone on the phone was very sad, I asked Anne what happened, she didn't speak, just cried......" Li Liang's tone suddenly became sad.
"In the end, she only said: I only have you left......"
"No matter how much I asked, she never told me what happened, and I was worried that something would happen to her, so I told her that you were on the afternoon plane, and that you should be back by this time, and I asked her to go to you first."
"Fortunately, I had the contact information of Anne's father, and I was worried about Anne's condition, so I called his father's phone, and the call was answered by his father's wife, who was also her stepmother. That's when I found out ......"
Li Liang fell silent again, and I understood that it was probably Li Liang's emotions that could not support him to finish everything in one breath.
I didn't rush him again, but waited silently for him to calm down, and I was silently brewing my emotions, so as not to be unable to bear the fact that it was about to be said.
"Anne's father didn't have any discipline at all, he had a brain tumor, and he only recently found out, and when he found out, he had reached a very dangerous situation, and he had to have surgery, but the tumor was in a key part of the brain, and the risk of surgery was very high......
The operation was scheduled three days ago, and he did not inform Anne before the operation, because he had come to see Anne a few days earlier, but he did not get Anne's understanding, perhaps because he blamed himself. He thought that if the operation was successful, it would not be too late to inform Anne, and if the operation failed, there would be no need for it, because Anne had told him that he deserved it......"
"However, the operation did not go well, shortly after the craniotomy, before the tumor was removed, a brain herniation formed in the brain, and the operation was not successful......
"The news was told to her by Anne's stepmother that she wanted to come and see her father one last time, and Anne received a call from her stepmother, and when she arrived, he was already dying, and after seeing her daughter, she soon lost her vital signs......"
"That's when I realized why Anne hadn't answered my phone calls for the past few days, she was busy with her father's funeral, where could she take care of other ......"
Li Liang finally finished speaking, on both ends of the phone, he and I fell into a permanent silence, my heart was sinking little by little, why is this the case? Why did this happen to Anne?
Although I know that Anne has a hatred for his father, but if he is a blood relative, even if he hates, where can he hate? This is nothing more than another expression of family affection, and to put it bluntly, it is just a little misunderstanding of each other.
However, the way to unravel this misunderstanding is so cruel that it costs a person his life.
Today, this misunderstanding has been relieved with the passing of one person's life, but it will henceforth be carried forever in the life of another

blame yourself, and there is no chance to let go.
Whose fault is this?
"You didn't see Anne? She said on the phone that she would go to you? Why didn't she go! Li Liang asked again.
In the end, he seemed to suddenly think of something important, and said urgently: "Old Wei, you hurry up and go to Annie's house to have a look, she is extremely unstable now, you must watch her, don't let her do anything stupid!" ”
After listening to Li Liang's words, I suddenly woke up from my dazed mood and shouted into my mobile phone: "I'll go right away!" He hung up.
I got up in a panic, put on a T-shirt and hurried out, just arrived outside the door only to find that I was still barefoot, and panicked to take out the key to open the door, but at this moment my heart is like thousands of insects crawling, my brain is like full of mercury, the hand holding the key trembling for a long time has not been inserted into the keyhole.
When he re-entered the room, he hurriedly put on a pair of shoes, and didn't even bother to put on his socks, so he ran down the stairs.
While running downstairs with his legs unbalanced, he silently said in his heart: Anne, don't have anything to do, don't, brother will be there soon! Be sure to wait for me......
When I came downstairs, I didn't care about the curious glances of people walking their dogs in the community, and rushed straight to the gate of the community.
When passing through the small square of the community, a group of uncles and aunts were doing fitness exercises or chatting together. Inadvertently, I suddenly thought of something, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in my brain, and I stopped suddenly, and the body that sprinted forward was slammed into place, and my head buzzed.
I suddenly remembered the figure I saw inadvertently when Mu Xichun and I came back, the figure that was the same as Anne in terms of figure and walking temperament.
At the same time, what Li Liangfang said to me sounded in my mind again: You didn't see Annie? She said on the phone that she would go to you? Why didn't she go?
Don't? Don't? Oh my God......
All the clues are connected at this moment, and that figure must be Anne without a doubt.
Then, there is no doubt that she must have also seen the scene where Mu Xichun hung on me and asked me to kiss her, she didn't come to see me but left in a hurry, which obviously confirmed this.
My head was even more chaotic at the moment, I looked around blindly, my feet couldn't help but spin in place, and I hit my head a few times with my fist, but the chaotic thoughts in my brain were still not at ease.
Why is this happening? Why is this happening? Anne saw it all! She knows it all! Why at this time, why at this time when she is the saddest? What am I going to do? What am I going to do?
I felt like the world was spinning, almost unsteady on my feet, and the people around me seemed to be pointing at me, as if they were laughing at me, and they said that the voice seemed to be infinitely elongated by a magical force, turning into a sharp and strange sound that drilled straight into my brain, making me almost have a splitting headache.
I put my hands on my head and tried to calm myself down, but once again my brain was out of my control, and the feeling of dizziness intensified.
In a trance, I suddenly saw a pool of water under the fountain at the rockery not far from me, and I staggered and rushed over and plunged my head into the pool, and I soaked my head in the water for a minute, until the last trace of air in my lungs was spit out, and I felt suffocated.
