262: Be loyal to him
In the yard.
Bai Miao pushed Zhong Wen forward, the courtyard of the Bai family was handed down from the ancestors, a traditional Soviet-style garden in the north, it was early spring, although the garden was well maintained, but it was still depressed everywhere.
After not walking a few steps, Zhong Wen looked at Bai Miao sideways, "I have long heard that the Bai family has a lotus garden, take me over there." ”
"Zhong Shao, the lotus garden is now in ruin, and it is not beautiful."
"Dead wood is also a kind of beauty, and it's not bad to look at the depressed scene, push me over."
Zhong Wen strongly demanded that Bai Miao could only comply, pushing him towards the Lotus Garden.
It was remote and quiet, and after walking all the way, not even the servants could be seen, and the only thing left in the quiet world was the sound of Bai Miao's footsteps and the wheels of a wheelchair rolling through the dead leaves.
Lonely and empty.
The Lotus Garden was soon in sight.
Under the illumination of countless corridor lights, the lake is silent, and the fallen dead leaves stand quietly on the surface of the lake like an old man walking in the twilight.
"Zhong Shao, it's here."
Zhong Wen looked at everything in front of him silently, and only woke up like a dream for a while, "You really want to know what that organization refers to?" ”
Bai Miao was silent for a moment, "Zhong Shao seems to be persuading me to retreat?" ”
"If I could go back three years, I'd rather I didn't know."
Three years ago.
Zhong Wen is completely the same boy as the one in the information Bai Miao investigated, ignorant of the world, excellent in academics, and the only thing that disturbs his heart is the woman who lives in his memory.
It's just that night three years ago, as soon as he came home, he felt the strange atmosphere in the house, his mother was sobbing, and his father was just sighing with a cold face. He thought that this time the dispute was just a small quarrel as usual, and the next day it would be fine.
As a result, he was awakened by his mother's screams in the middle of the night, and when he ran out, he saw his father beating his mother and cursing his mother, saying that it was she who brought trouble to the Zhong family, and what kind of ruthless person would attack an unborn fetus.
The mother responded to her father's words almost frantically, "What kind of person? A woman who pays for this family wholeheartedly, gives up inheriting all the family business and accompanies you to fight the world and is still cheated on in the end, Li Mingsuo, I love you, but it doesn't mean that I am the Holy Mother, you cheated, had an extramarital affair and had an illegitimate child, I will allow you to take the Zhong family's money to raise that little slut and her child? You dream. ”
Zhong Wen is actually his mother's surname.
The Zhong family has a big business, every brother and sister has a successful career, Zhong Xiuqin used his mother's economic power to help him after marrying Li Mingsuo, and the only requirement of the Zhong family for this is that the first child of the two must be surnamed Zhong.
It's just that after Zhong Wen, the two don't have a second child.
When Zhong Wen heard this, he was stunned, and he walked out in a daze and pulled away his father, who kept swinging his fist at his mother, and then roared and asked them what was going on.
Zhong Xiuqin pushed Zhong Wen back to the room and said that it was none of his business, and asked him to hurry back to school.
Li Mingsuo forcibly told Zhong Wen to let him know how femme fatale his mother was.
Zhong Xiuqin and Li Mingsuo tore together again on this issue, and finally they asked Zhong Wen if he wanted to know these things.
Zhong Wen chose to ask.
This carefree life has been turned upside down.

"Bai Miao, the Bai family is not wrong, you are just the illegitimate son of the Bai family, to be honest, if it weren't for the project you relied on with the Lu family, the Bai family might not recognize you at all." Zhong Wen raised his eyes to look at Bai Miao, with an easy-going and indifferent attitude.
These words sounded quite offensive, but Bai Miao knew that Zhong Wen didn't mean anything else, "But I've already taken over the Bai family, haven't I?" ”
"I can choose a random Bai family member to come out and replace you." Anyway, with the speed of the Bai family's death, it won't be long before it will be over. As an outsider who doesn't know anything, Bai Miao may be able to escape this dead end.
Bai Miao frowned, "Why?" ”
"Because once you know these things, your fate will be tied to the family forever, the Bai family is born, you are born, the Bai family is born, the Bai family is dead, you are dead."
It is the family that is greater than the individual.
Zhong Wen felt that the Bai family behind Bai Miao was a bunch of garbage with no conscience, which was really not worth it.
"So Zhong Shao has changed so much, and he is ruthless in pretending to be a person in front of him, and he is also tied to the fate of his family because he knows these things?"
Bai Miao didn't rush to ask, but changed the topic.
Zhong Wen's fingers stretched out and scraped the hoarfrost on the railing, and his fingertips were cold, "Yes, but at present, it seems that the person I want to protect is worth protecting." "Whether it's my mother or my uncle's family, or the father who cheated in marriage and had an illegitimate child outside.
He had already paid the price, and his mother joined the Order, sacrificing his lover and illegitimate child.
The two men have not been heard from since.
Maybe dead, Zhong Wen didn't have the benevolence and righteousness to that extent, and he had to care about those two people.
"I don't want to protect anyone."
Bai Miao bluntly said that the Jiang Yuan he wanted to protect was not the Bai family, at least not before he got married, yes.
"But I don't want to untie the Bai family yet."
"So, Zhong Shao, if there's anything you can tell me, tell me."
Zhong Wen stared at Bai Miao for a long time, then pulled his lips and smiled, "I don't know what your reason is, and I don't know whether to praise you for your perseverance or scold you for not listening to persuasion." ”
"Maybe it's all of them, who knows?" Bai Miao smiled indifferently.
"Many years ago, the Bai family, your third uncle, sacrificed a person to the organization." Zhong Wen thought about it for a while, and then slowly said some things.
It was late at night and the wind had stopped.
The withered lotus leaves are easy to break, and they fall into the water with a click, causing countless ripples.
After listening to Zhong Wen's narration, Bai Miao only felt that he was cold, but his obviously intact body couldn't move, and it took him a long time to regain his breath, and he stumbled and said, "Why does that organization still exist?" This is obviously a crime and a loss of conscience, Zhong Shao, would you rather be a lackey of this organization? You're highly educated, you're ...... How can you help them to sin! ”
Bai Miao didn't feel that he had to be like Zhong Wen when he heard this, in the rules of the organization, he disregarded people, "I want to call the police." ”
Everything he heard tonight was evidence, and he had to call the police.
It's just that he took out his phone and found that there was no signal.
Zhong Wen let out a disdainful laugh in his wheelchair, "This is the initial reaction, righteous indignation, feeling that I should do what is righteous, Bai Miao, I advise you not to make the first call." ”
"Why?"
Bai Miao couldn't find a signal.
Zhong Wen stared at him fixedly, "Because you can't imagine the strength of the organization. ”
"Then tell me, how powerful is he, and who is the leader of the organization? Tell me who the members are! ”
