33. Homecoming
"I must tell you the truth," Boss Xu glanced at Song Chang's fist, and continued, "The boss has recently changed the formula of Phantom Stacks and developed the latest generation of Phantom Stacks, and the boss has gone to the hiding place." β
"Who's up there?"
"I don't know about this, I'm just a nobody, and I can't see him at all."
"Is he the head of the Dead Leaf Tissue?"
"How do you know about the dead leaf tissue?"
"Are you answering questions, or are you asking questions?" Speaking of this, Song Chang leaned down, and Boss Xu was startled, but Song Chang didn't make any moves, just continued to ask him, "The second question, what is the formula of Phantom Stacks?" β
"I ...... It's just to work hard for Li Biao and earn a share, the goods are not from me, and I don't know the formula of the goods. β
"Do you really not know, or do you know something that you haven't said?"
Boss Xu's tone was hurried: "I really don't know, this kind of confidential thing is only known to the top." β
"Where's the stash place?"
"This ......" Boss Xu hesitated, obviously Song Chang asked the key point, and then he heard him say, "I don't know about this." β
Song Chang glanced at him, didn't speak, and then twisted the muscles and bones of his neck, and soon Boss Xu let out a scream, which was quite loud, as if it was vented along with the previous pain.
At this moment, his other hand was also trampled under Song Chang's feet, it seemed to be fractured, and he shrunk into a ball in pain: "Don't do this, I said...... The location is in a factory in Area B. β
"Very good, Boss Xu, you are very cooperative." Song Chang stretched out his slender arm and pulled him up, "Now you only need to do one last thing." β
Sun Bo walked down the long corridor to Song Kang's study, and when he came to the door, he knocked on the door twice, and there was a dull sound from the bottom of his fist, but there was no response in the room.
Strange.
His mind suddenly flashed the scene of the president always holding his abdomen recently, and now that he thought about it, it seemed like he was enduring the torture of illness.
He had a bad premonition, as if something was going to happen, so he slammed the door open, and the scene that caught his eye made his heart hang for a while.
"President, what's wrong with you?" Song Kang lay on his back on the chair, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, his breathing was not steady, as if he was asleep, and as if he wanted to fall asleep but couldn't.
Feeling Sun Bo's shaking, Song Kang slowly opened his cloudy eyes, his lips opened slightly, and he just wanted to say something, but then fainted.
"President, President!"
In the hospital, Song Kang was lying on the hospital bed, the doctor unbuttoned his coat, lifted his shirt again, and pressed it on his stomach, Sun Bo stood next to him with a worried face.
"It doesn't hurt, doctor, I'm fine." Song Kang said lightly. He had come to his senses, and the cloudiness in his eyes was gone.
"What about here?"
"It doesn't hurt, doctor, I'm really fineβoops!" Song Kang suddenly shouted without warning, and his whole person trembled, and he closed his eyes in pain.
Sun Bo on the side was taken aback, and couldn't help but remind, "Doctor, press ...... lightly."
The doctor was unmoved, still pressing Song Kang's stomach back and forth, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
After a long investigation, he asked Sun Bo, "Are you a family member of the patient?" β
As soon as Song Chang finished his mission, he immediately rushed to the ward after receiving a call from Sun Bo.
"What's wrong with Dad, what did the doctor say?" Song Chang looked around, as if seeking an answer, Liu Han, Song Lanxi, and Sun Bo, who were standing in the ward, looked at him together, but none of them answered.
He was a little anxious and asked again, "What did the doctor say?" What exactly is the condition? β
Song Lanxi showed a hesitant expression, and quickly glanced at Liu Han, as if asking, "Can you tell him?" So Song Chang also looked at Liu Han.
"Song Chang, you have to be mentally prepared," After thinking about it a few times, Liu Han still looked a little hesitant when he spoke, "The doctor said that it was liver cancer, liver cancer...... Advanced. β
"What?" His voice trembled unconsciously.
"And Dad said that he was going to give up treatment, no matter how much we persuaded him......
This sentence came to Song Chang's ears word by word, and he felt that the air suddenly became heavy, making him unable to breathe, and the feeling of suffocation was slowly surging.
At this time, a cough broke the gloomy atmosphere in the ward, and Song Kang woke up, but his face was still pale and his lips were bloodless. He watched the children gather around the bed, all with serious expressions, and a smile appeared on his tired face.
He pointed to the edge of the bed: "Why are you all standing stupidly?" Sit down. Then his gaze settled on the cane at the head of the bed, and then he shook his upper body to sit up.
"Don't move, don't move!" Song Chang hurriedly pressed his shoulder, frowned and asked softly, "Why didn't you say it earlier if you were not feeling well?" β
At that moment, Song Kang saw a heartfelt concern in his son's eyes, which he hadn't had in years.
"Dad, how can you give up treatment?"
"President, this is not a trivial matter......
"The doctor said very clearly, liver cancer, advanced stage." Song Kang just replied simply, without looking at their suddenly surprised expressions, "I don't plan to treat, don't persuade me." β
"No," Song Chang shook his head and said in a stern tone, "It must be treated, you will honestly stay in the hospital for surgery." β
"Actually, I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Song Kang said to himself, his expression was very relieved, and then he laughed again, gesturing on his body, "At this age, I have to be stabbed, and then I will be treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and good people will have to be tossed and wasted, besides, I won't live long after surgery." β
"But Dad, you can't stand up like this." Song Chang's tone began to become pleading, even pleading, completely different from the tough attitude just now, "I'll go to the doctor and say anything to cure you." β
"Don't go." There was a hint of pleading in Song Kang's voice.
Song Chang paused, and his footsteps stopped.
"Song Chang, you just called me Dad." Song Kang hadn't heard of this name for a long time, and happily forgot about the pain in his abdomen.
Song Chang turned around and looked into his eyes: "Dad, you heard me right, it was because I was too naΓ―ve before, I only saw one side of the matter, but I misunderstood you for so many years." β
"Blame me, blame me for not making it clear in time."
"But now if you want me to truly forgive you, you have to cooperate with the doctor to cure the disease."
"But I'm really fine, I don't need treatment," Song Kang spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "I wasn't okay yesterday, and what is the difference between me in the hospital and confinement, I can't stay." β
"Song Chang is right, you must treat it well." Liu Han said loudly, then glanced at Song Chang, and then turned to Song Kang, "Dad, you have a good rest first, and the operation will be said later, it will definitely be cured." β
Song Kang's face became serious and serious: "I have made up my mind, don't persuade me anymore." β
"But the president ......" Sun Bo was still very worried.
"There's nothing, my only wish now is to catch Li Biao and them quickly, and then destroy the group that sells phantom grass."
"Dad, don't worry, I have caught the person who pretended to be Li Biao, and quietly imprisoned him in the security meeting, and I have properly handled his disappearance, Li Biao will not be suspicious at all, so you can recuperate with peace of mind, and leave the matter of arresting Li Biao to us." After finishing speaking, Song Chang lowered his head, tears flashing in his eyes.
At this time, a nurse walked into the ward, saw Song Chang and them, and frowned: "Why are there so many of you here, it will affect the rest of the patients." β
"Ah, I'm sorry." Liu Han said, "Dad, then let's go out first, and then come to see you later." β
Song Kang nodded, and everyone said goodbye to him and left the ward.
He looked out the window, it was gloomy, there was no sunlight, the whole world seemed to have lost its color, and the trees that had dropped dead leaves from time to time were shrouded in a layer of gray and looked lifeless.
It was only a few seconds before his thoughts drifted back. He obediently rolled up his sleeves and asked the nurse to take his blood pressure.
The nurse takes her blood pressure and temperature and starts the infusion. Before leaving, the nurse gave a few more instructions, and he listened absentmindedly, and from time to time he agreed.
After the nurse left, Song Kang was the only one left in the huge ward.
He shrank into the quilt and stared intently at the liquid flowing in the infusion tube.
I am not yet fifty years old, and my body is not good, it is a little early. He doesn't feel sorry for himself, since fate gave him, he can only take it as a gift.
I'm going to die. The news didn't come out of the ordinary, he had been feeling sick a few months ago, so death didn't scare him.
Death is not terrible, when his wife was martyred, his heart had already died with her, leaving only a shell.
For him, it was a longed-for homecoming.
After the nurse left, Liu Han walked in, she was waiting next to the hospital bed, from this angle, Song Kang didn't seem to be the radiant man he was back then, and his original resolute face was fragile and aging.
She respected him very much, and if he hadn't taken her in, she didn't know what it would have been.
"Dad, you must have known that something was wrong with your body, why didn't you tell us earlier?" Liu Han's nose was sore, and she almost shed tears, but she endured it and just sucked her nose gently.
"I'm afraid you'll be upset." He looked at her with moist eyes, "Look, Dad is most afraid of you crying." β
"Then I won't cry."
"Let's cry out, it's weird and uncomfortable."
"It's all this time, and you're still teasing me." Liu Han smiled with tears, containing how much sadness. "Why don't you listen to the doctor and get treatment, it can be a lot longer."
In her eyes, Song Kang was always gentle and rigorous, not afraid of any pain, but this time he surrendered without even thinking about it.
Song Kang lowered his eyes and sighed: "Human body organs also have a lifespan, even if you don't die of liver cancer, you will die because of other diseases, I don't want to buy such a little time, it is another surgery, an electric shock, and an intubation, even if it is to drag people back from the ghost gate, it is not the same as lying there to live and die." β
"Dad, I know the treatment process is difficult, but we just want you to stay with us a little longer, a little longer."
"The doctor said I needed treatment, but to be honest, it wasn't treatment, it was torture for me, I couldn't do anything about lying there, and I didn't want to...... I don't want my body to suffer so much, and I don't want you to watch from the sidelines, and my heart is tortured even more. β
"But ......" Liu Han's eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears were rolling in his eyes.
"There's only this time left, I don't want to make everyone uncomfortable, you see those vegetative people lying over there and can't help themselves, I'm lucky, I can still choose by myself. I've lived a very satisfying life in my life, it's just ...... I still owe Song Chang something. β
"Dad, give him a little more time, he didn't really hate you, accept the reason for his mother's death, he still needs time."
"yes, at least he's willing to call me Daddy now."
