Chapter 289: Man in the Mirror
Looking at what they had just seen and heard, the audience was dumbfounded.
Suddenly, they realized something.
The red suit Jiang Zhe who appeared in the mirror...
He's dead!
"Oh my God, Jiang Zhe in the red suit in the mirror is a ghost, right?"
"Yes, it's a ghost, Jiang Zhe in a red suit is a ghost!"
"Damn, I didn't expect that Jiang Zhe, who was waiting for them, was already dead out of sight."
"Hiss~~ This makes sense, why did Jiang Zhe say [Don't look in the mirror] before entering the terminal, it turns out that you can see Jiang Zhe in a dead red suit when you look in the mirror!"
"If this is the case, the special forces Jiang Zhe, the Jiang Zhe in our perspective, is afraid that Lao Ben's child, Jiang Zhe in the red suit, will die and feel sad, so he pretends to be Jiang Zhe in the red suit, making Lao Ben mistakenly think that his child is not dead."
“...”
Gradually, the audience realized everything.
Jiang Zhe, who is in the old world in a red suit, is his adopted son, who has long since died.
Where to die, to die in an unseen place.
No wonder Jiang Zhe in the red suit wrote a string of words in the mirror: [Don't tell him]
The meaning of these four words is probably exactly: [Don't tell Ben Dad, the three of us are dead]
In this way, the originally knotted thoughts are instantly transparent.
In the expert group, the experts were also stunned when they saw this scene.
It turned out that the fog shrouded in the T1 terminal that he saw when special forces Jiang Zhe entered the terminal found everything.
No wonder he said to Leon in the black suit and Kaito: "Don't look in the mirror".
He was worried that Leon was talking nonsense about the fact that Ben's adopted son had died.
In fact, the brothers of Lao Ben and Jiang Zhe in red suits have been waiting for their brothers to return in the terminal.
The experts couldn't help but look at each other, and shook their heads one after another, feeling sorry for the old Ben.
Jiang Zhe, the adopted son who set off with Lao Ben, died mysteriously in the terminal, but Lao Ben couldn't leave here to find the body of his adopted son, and finally mistook Jiang Zhe, a special soldier who came in from the rice house.
It is logical to regard 2 of the 3 people, Jiang Zhe and Leon, as adopted sons who have disappeared.
In this way, it seems that what happened in this terminal may be a case of an old father waiting for his child to return.
At this moment, no expert spoke in the conference room, just staring at the picture with no taste in his heart.
in-frame.
Jiang Zhe and Lao Ben and the others were happily eating dinner.
Even if dinner isn't satisfying, it's the best meal at the airport.
After eating instant noodles, Jiang Zhe saw that the face on Lao Ben's face became more and more pale, and he covered his chest from time to time, feeling that it was difficult to breathe.
Jiang Zhe sat down close to Lao Ben cordially and asked kindly, "Does your chest hurt?" ”
Ben shook his head indifferently, "It's not in the way, but I feel cold and tired!" ”
Ivan also rubbed his neck inexplicably, "I also feel a little pain in my neck, and the more I rub it, the more it hurts!" ”
Carl chimed in: "My abdomen hurts a little, could it be that I have eaten a bad stomach?" ”
Alex shook his head, "My thigh hurts a little. ”
Eguchi shook his head vigorously, "My forehead hurts a little. ”
Watching the brothers and Ben Dad talk about their differences, Leon and Kaito looked at each other and couldn't understand it.
Jiang Zhe got up, spread the white futon he had brought out earlier on the ground, and comforted him with a sad face: "Go to sleep, it won't hurt if you fall asleep, it's still a long time, and you can't get through it." ”
The brothers and Ben Dad got up one after another, agreed to the proposal, and everyone lay down one after another, and before lying down, Jiang Zhe covered the brothers with white quilts one by one.
Seeing this scene, the brothers said with emotion.
"It's still so cold under the quilt, why, why is it so cold!"
"You've never covered us with a quilt!"
"It's a bit abnormal today, why are you so concerned about us, are you sorry for us?"
"Although it's cold, my heart is much warmer, thank you, little brother!"
Looking at the miserable white smiles squeezed out of the brothers' faces, Jiang Zhe shook his head lightly, refused to thank him, and then lowered his head, covered the old Ben with two layers of white quilts, and then patted it gently, "Ben Dad, is it still cold now?" ”
Lao Ben held Jiang Zhe's hand, smiled with satisfaction, shook his head, and lied, "It's not cold." ”
Seeing this, Jiang Zhe lay next to Lao Ben, he didn't choose to cover the quilt, but just lay on his stomach quietly, looking at Lao Ben who was trembling all over, "I want to hear your previous story." ”
Lao Ben turned his head and looked at Jiang Zhe who was lying next to him, "My previous stories are not good, they are very sad!" ”
Jiang Zhe said: "I love to listen to it, just like the bedside stories in the past. ”
Seeing that Jiang Zhe insisted on listening, Lao Ben said helplessly: "Okay, just one!" ”
"Well, it's just 1, it's guaranteed to be 1!"
Old Ben seemed to be very tired, so he could only close his eyes and slowly tell what had happened before with his instincts.
Even if it was Lao Ben's previous story, he didn't tell about himself, but all he told was Jiang Zhe.
On a rainy night 24 years ago, Ben was 27 years old, dressed in a black suit, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, and a talented young general professor at Harvard, but his ambition was not to be a professor but to be an internationalist.
After leaving the familiar Harvard College, he opened an orphanage.
Why did he open an orphanage, he likes children, he is infertile, and he can't be cured by finding many hospitals, and finally his girlfriend left him.
In the end, he decided to open an orphanage and adopt children from all over the world.
His actions in this regard are similar to those of Lauren.
As usual, Ben drove back to the orphanage in a yellow cab.
At that time, it was winter, about ten days of the winter month, and it was already dark, because of the heavy rain, he was a little anxious and hurried, and when he was about to open the door when he stepped up the steps, he suddenly kicked something.
At that time, Lao Ben didn't know that he kicked Jiang Zhe in swaddling clothes.
But at night, there was a scream from Ivan downstairs.
At that time, Lao Ben hurriedly ran downstairs in gray sleepiness, and was surprised to see the white-colored baby who was already soaked in white swaddling clothes: Jiang Zhe.
Maybe it was out of guilt, or maybe it was out of the fact that Jiang Zhe almost froze to death at the door.
In the days to come, Lao Ben always cared more for Jiang Zhe than for other children.
Even Ivan, Leon, Carl and others who came first, can't compare to Lao Ben's love for Jiang Zhe.
In the days that followed, Ben was often considered eccentric by Ivan and others.
There are delicious first thinking about Jiang Zhe, Ivan they can always eat and use later.
When Ivan and the others encountered the lightning and thundering weather, they proposed to sleep with adults, but Ben refused, because Ben didn't like to sleep with children, he liked it, but he didn't like to be with children.
But when it came to Jiang Zhe's side, it changed, whenever Jiang Zhe was afraid of sleeping alone, Lao Ben would always let the three or four-year-old Jiang Zhe enter his bed.
This scene made Ivan and others, who were still children, jealous and hateful!
So Jiang Zhe became the target of bullying by Ivan and others at a very young age.
But fortunately, as time went on, the children gradually grew up and stopped bullying.
Instead, he became good brothers, Jiang Zhe cried and went back to the orphanage to tell Ivan when he was bullied by children from the outside world, and after Ivan listened, he picked up a sandbag and often punched Jiang Zhe, "People who dare to bully us, they are impatient, come with me, I want them not to see the sun tomorrow!" ”
As the leading brother, he always called Carl, Alex and a group of other children to go out to help.
The result...
Children with parents near the orphanage, including older children, no longer dare to bully them.
Ivan became a well-known little overlord, and later Jiang Zhe was complacent about defeating Ivan, the little overlord.
Ivan saw too much that Jiang Zhe always lost to him, and released water from time to time, deliberately letting Jiang Zhe win.
As the eldest brother, Ivan knew that Jiang Zhe would be happy all day after winning against him.
Therefore, Jiang Zhe's face was always full of smiles, and Ivan was bruised and swollen from time to time.
Hearing this, although Jiang Zhe couldn't empathize, he could understand Ivan's love for his younger brothers as the eldest brother.
Later, as time went on, the children became adults one after another, and gradually separated and moved out of the orphanage.
Some are engaged in IT, some are engaged in scientific research, and some are in the army ...
It can only be seen only a few times a year.
Even after moving out of the orphanage, the brothers did not cut off contact, but the relationship became stronger!
Until the airport encounter on February 1, 2023.
The Red Suit Jiang Zhe and Leon of the Navy SEALs, including Jiang Zhe's friend Kuaidou, left Lao Ben and the others here, and the three of them set off alone to face the danger.
As a result, they did not return for a long time, which made Ben and Ivan anxious.
What happened after that was what Jiang Zhe, who was in black special uniform, saw with his own eyes.
Gradually, Ben's voice became quieter and quieter, until he no longer spoke.
Only Jiang Zhe was immersed in his version of his own past memories, and he couldn't help but smile yearning on his face.
He looked up at the time of his watch, 05:30.
"Half an hour to go."
Looking at the time, Jiang Zhe looked at the smile on Lao Ben's face and gently held Lao Ben's left hand.
Cold!
It seems to be Lao Ben's instinctive reaction, which makes Lao Ben's left hand grip Jiang Zhe tighter!
Time...
Bit by bit.
When Jiang Zhe's sleepy eyes were hazy, a scream from Leon broke the silence of the early morning.
