135 The Past
In the end of Chen Wengang's life, he may not be able to forget the day when the bad news came.
From the moment I wake up in the morning, every minute detail is engraved in my mind regardless of the sight.
Those images are like broken video recorders, constantly looping, playing out of control, and never really stopping.
That day, he got up early in the morning, opened the curtains, and it was a sunny and sunny weather outside, with cloudless skies, blue sky, clear water, and sunshine. He fed Harley a little food, and for some reason, he felt a little anxious and inexplicable.
Harley seemed to sense his master's mood swings, and lay at Chen Wengang's feet without leaving an inch.
Chen Wengang took him to the courtyard, but his interest did not seem to be high, and they did not go for a while, and soon returned.
Then Chen Wengang went to the study, he sat on the sofa by the window, and picked up a book that he hadn't finished reading before.
The wind flicked the curtains, the light yarn flew, and a seven-star ladybug flew in, stopped on the page, and flew away.
He still read the book, and after reading it for about two hours, he gradually entered the state of reading, forgetting everything about the outside world for a while.
Until the screeching phone rings.
Chen Wengang recognized the other party's number, which was Huo Niansheng's assistant named Amanda. Over the years, they have had a certain intersection, but their personal relationship has never been too familiar. At this time, her voice was unusually heavy: "Mr. Chen, unfortunately, there is unfortunate news......"
The clear picture ends here, and the videotape image behind it is distorted.
Chen Wengang seemed to have lost his ability to understand, he held his breath, and he couldn't understand what she was saying.
She said, "Mourning. ”
His mind was blank after the "buzz", he was breathless, sweating, dizzy, and ringing in his ears.
His stomach seemed to be stuffed with stones, and the sky and the earth were turned upside down, and Chen Wengang had to reach out to hold the corner of the table.
But the couch he was sitting on was still falling rapidly, into the depths of invisible hell.
There was a great terror that seized Chen Wengang, unlike any kind of fear he had ever experienced, his fear was concretized, and all the objects in the room, the bookshelves, the vases, the round tables, the chairs, became behemoths, squeezing towards him with teeth and claws.
On the other side of the phone, Amanda was still talking, and Chen Wengang suddenly remembered that her Chinese name seemed to be surnamed Yang.
What did she say?
She said in another hour and a half, pick him up, and ...... as soon as possible
Her voice seemed to come from a very distant place.
Chen Wengang didn't know what he answered, and he still didn't believe it, because it couldn't happen. In addition to Huo Niansheng, Huo Zhenfei and so many other people in the Huo family are here, as well as so many group executives, they are all on the boat, how can they all have accidents. He looked up at the calendar, and no matter how he looked at it, it wasn't April 1st, and it wasn't the day when someone would play a boring prank.
What is extremely strange is that in such a situation, a voice can split into his body and answer her words one by one.
He threw his phone away.
Harley barked violently.
Chen Wengang seemed to have fallen to the ground, and he couldn't figure it out himself, he only remembered touching the rough texture of the carpet. He reached for the couch cover, trying to find it
One relied on it to support himself to stand up, but his hands and feet were so weak that they were not his.
He kept climbing and sliding down, and the door seemed to be pushed open, and the butler had heard the news.
He knew that Chen Wengang had a panic attack, and Chen Wengang felt his hand reach into his pocket and touch the pill box containing alprazolam. The housekeeper hurriedly opened the medicine box, he was not skillful, he used too much force, and a few pills were spilled on the ground.
Chen Wengang fumbled and grabbed one from the ground and swallowed it in one gulp.
I don't know how long later, he sat on the floor in a cold sweat, and the butler supported him, his face extremely worried.
He heard the housekeeper ask, "Do you want to go to the hospital to see, did Mr. Huo say when he will come back?" ”
Mr. Fok ......
Huo Niansheng......
Accident......
Maritime......
Cruise ship wreck......
Sea......
Accidents happen......
Chen Wengang gritted his teeth tightly, the housekeeper picked up his mobile phone, and he suddenly raised his hand and hit the mobile phone farther.
Harley's screams of concern filled his ears.
Chen Wengang seemed to whisper something, but at the same time he closed his five senses. He shielded the butler's face from shock to fear to solemnity, and he also shielded the butler's voice. He stared at the ground, he didn't want to hear anything now.
Huo Niansheng is the background color of his life, the bone of his bones, the flesh of his flesh, and he is a part of him.
He's not coming back.
So he can't come back.
When will he be back?
After that, Chen Wengang's consciousness seemed to be in a trance, he seemed to be walking in an unreal and unawake nightmare, and his every move was taken over by instinct. But his instincts were extremely tenacious, telling him that he still had to do what he had to do.
He had suffered a lot of pain, and he had to accept a lot of things.
When Amanda arrived, Chen Wengang was waiting at the door of the villa. He changed into a black shirt and black pants, black shoes, and his face did not have a trace of blood, covered with some old scars.
The butler and Harley were beside him, and she lowered the window, and the butler greeted him.
The middle-aged man's hair was already gray, and his face was depressed, he rubbed his face vigorously, sighed deeply, and bent down to talk to her.
Chen Wengang stood a little further back, his eyes blank, his thin shoulders straight.
Before leaving, he asked the housekeeper to stay, saying that he would just go with her, the employer had an accident, and there were so many staff at home, and someone needed to inform and appease him. He beckoned, and only Harley followed him into the car.
*
Amanda's face was similarly bad, she didn't wear makeup, she looked tired, and the fine lines under her eyes appeared unreservedly.
She personally drove around the villa to take Chen Wengang to the morgue to see the deceased for the last time.
She made countless phone calls before she came, and the news of Huo Niansheng's misfortune has been repeatedly confirmed, and there is no longer any luck. He was caught by an accident and walked too suddenly, too late to leave a direct last word. But if she said who should deal with his funeral, she thought that she was obliged to call that Mr. Chen, and I am afraid that this would also be the intention of the boss, and she would not consider it again than him.
In the car
The atmosphere was depressing.
She opened her mouth to tell Chen Wengang what she had learned so far - the cruise ship that Huo Niansheng was on was chartered in the name of the Huo Group, it was a small luxury cruise ship, and the reason for the crash was that it was hijacked by pirates, and they were armed and hijacked the whole ship.
Chen Wengang looked directly at the road ahead and never said a word.
When they arrived at the hospital parking lot, Amanda pulled the handbrake and Chen Wengang had already pushed the car door.
He still remembers opening the back door and putting Harley down, and it followed closely in the footsteps of Tran Wengang, with Amanda leading the way, and they went all the way down the stairs into a building, pressing the elevator floor, and the floor sign next to it said "Mortuary"
。
Elevator "ding"
Ground thud.
As soon as he came out of the compartment door, a mournful cry came, and it was very chaotic outside, and the chaos was mixed with desolation.
In addition to the hospital staff in the morgue, there are far more than the two of them, after all, it is the whole boatload of people who have had an accident, some of them have been salvaged, and some of them are still missing. The family members were crowded, crowded, coming and going, and the scene was even noisy.
Amanda glanced at Chen Wengang, who was standing in the mourning crowd, looking very calm and guarded.
Someone uncovered the white cloth, and Huo Niansheng's appearance had been repaired.
Chen Wengang looked at him calmly, he looked at him for a long time, and still didn't say a word.
He raised his hand in the middle, but his movement was very slight, and as soon as he lifted it, he put it down, and no one even noticed.
Someone came with a register and said something, and his lips were closed one by one.
Chen Wengang heard the sound of soft sobbing behind him, he turned his head and saw the back of a somewhat familiar woman, the voice was also familiar, Chen Wengang suddenly remembered that she was Huo Zhenfei's wife, and they met them when their family of three had morning tea.
Her hair was messy, her shoulders were slumped, she was depressed, and she was facing a white wall, constantly wiping her eyes with a handkerchief.
Chen Wengang retracted
Looking, he nodded at the staff, indicating that this was the person they wanted to meet, and there was no mistake.
The white cloth was put back on.
The door to the freezer closes.
I don't know who suddenly raised his voice, and the cry behind him became even more sharp and poignant.
The staff whispered to the family members to calm down and not to make a fuss in the morgue.
Amanda watched coldly, she looked at Chen Wengang, he was too composed, too calm. Of course, she does not deny that he is sad. Over the years, Huo Niansheng has seen how he has been, who can not be sad at all? But she was still secretly a little unworthy of her employer.
is such a pillow person, in the end, there is not even a drop of tears to see him off, and his relatives are close to each other.
Chen Wengang walked out of the morgue, and Harley, who was waiting outside, came up and looked up and licked his hand.
Amanda found out, she motioned to Chen Wengang, there is still something to say, it is better to change to a private place.
Chen Wengang didn't react, he stood there and thought for a while before he raised his head and asked her if Kang Ming was here.
Kang Ming was the bodyguard who followed Huo Niansheng before, he was bald, big, burly and strong, and he quickly appeared in front of them.
Chen Wengang hoarsely voiced and told him to watch well here, no matter who came, don't touch Huo Niansheng.
He left Harley to Cumming as well, and Amanda remained silent to see what he could do
The leather rope was handed over.
They got out of the hospital and went across the road. The road was wide, and Chen Wengang walked forward, Amanda dragged him, and they waited for the green light on the sidewalk. Across the street is a crystal hotel, and Amanda opened a suite at the front desk with her ID card.
In this way, when they arrived in the room, she told Chen Wengang some news in a businesslike manner, guessing that the accident might be caused by Xiao Wall, and now that the Huo family is in chaos, reporters from all walks of life are also excitedly pouring out of the nest and digging up materials frantically. The accident was mainly caused by Uncle Huo's family, and Uncle Huo didn't get on the boat at all, and the family went to Hawaii for a vacation. Although all kinds of conspiracy theories are somewhat sensational, the whole cruise ship crash is full of strangeness, and the police investigation still needs time, and some things left by Huo Niansheng need to be signed and decided by him as soon as possible.
After that, she started talking non-stop again, and the charger barely came off.
Chen Wengang held on to the glass and looked downstairs, and there was a lot of traffic on the street.
Within two hours, Huo Niansheng's lawyer also came to the hotel. He looked like an agent, wearing a mask, and looked left and right before entering the door. After confirming that no one was following him, he wished the lawyer close the door. He put down his briefcase and the first thing he did was pull out the thick bag of papers.
Huo Nian made a fair and valid will during his lifetime, and all the property in his name was assigned to one person.
In a monotonous and straightforward tone, the lawyer explained what each document was and instructed Mr. Chen where to sign it.
Chen Wengang held the fountain pen, he just listened, and signed one by one. They cooperated tacitly, he signed a name, and lawyer Zhu turned the page over and pointed it to him in a different place.
Until the last sign-in, the pen did not fall for a long time.
Amanda glanced at him, stunned.
Chen Wengang's eyes were red, and he was stunned. His eyes were already filled with moisture, and his wet eyelashes obscured his vision.
His pupils are light-colored, in fact, only his left eye is intact, and his right eye has been replaced with a prosthetic eye, but he can't see it if he doesn't look closely.
She suddenly remembered one thing, when he had the implantation operation, Huo Niansheng watched him all night, afraid that he would touch the dressings and bandages and infect the wound. She sighed, then sighed harder.
After a long time, he moved the pen, drew the first horizontal of the Chen character, and a tear smashed on the tip of the pen.
The ink spilled open, turning into a black stain.
Chen Wengang smiled, he pulled a tissue, pressed it on the paper, and slowly dipped it dry: "See you." ”
Zhu lawyer changed another copy, and he signed it smoothly this time, and all the documents were put back together.
The atmosphere in the suite is solemn, as if it has become a place of dead silence.
Chen Wengang sat on the carpet, he bent one leg, the other collapsed, he put his hand on the back of his neck, and covered his face with his knees. His movements were much like that of a bird with its head down, but a bird with broken wings and dying.
It looked as if he was crying, but not exactly, after a long time, he just didn't move, not making a sound.
Amanda and Lawyer Zhu also just sat on the sidelines.
Three large living figures, like three statues, for a few short minutes, there was no movement, and there was no sound. If it weren't for the central air conditioning, the room would have been paused.
Still wishing the lawyer's call to break the stagnant time, he picked it up, and coped with the other side of the conversation.
After the accident, lawyer Zhu has been responsible for connecting with the police and people from all walks of life. ()
Amanda
The author's brass revolver reminds you that the most complete "Wealthy Adopted Son Rebirth Daily" is all in [], domain name[(()
Then he crouched down on the coffee table, straightened his briefcase, and pulled out a sealed bag from the mezzanine.
Chen Wengang watched his movements in a daze, and Zhu Lawyer glanced back at him, his eyes were solemn and solemn.
Inside the sealed bag was a piece of folded paper.
He told Chen Wengang that it was left by Huo Niansheng some time before he passed away, and that it was sealed in an empty wine bottle and hidden in a place that was not easy to find during the period between the attack on the ship and the destruction of the ship. This was something that was used as evidence for the investigation, and lawyer Zhu did not elaborate on how much effort he had taken to get it back from the police. He said that the evidence collection process had been completed, and he gave the letter to Chen Wengang for safekeeping.
Chen Wengang stared at the sealed bag in his hand, and he couldn't hear what Amanda was whispering.
Both of them left, leaving him some space.
Chen Wengang knelt on the carpet, his elbows propped up on the coffee table, his heart beat so hard that he dismantled the seal several times. He shook his hands and unfolded the letter with great care, flattening it so that he didn't have time to read the scribbled handwriting, tears blurred his vision.
He knelt down in front of the coffee table and raised his hand to cover his eyes.
*
The hospital's morgue was still buzzing.
After all, there is not necessarily a social incident like this that shocks all sides in ten years - throughout the afternoon and evening, in addition to the staff on duty, doctors and nurses have to be divided to help maintain order. Among the victims, most of the passengers were either rich or noble, and their families, subordinates, lawyers, and reporters who had mixed in crowded the serious place into a vegetable market.
The little nurse had to shout at the top of her voice, this quarrel had just been extinguished, and the black pressure over there was a mess again.
Huo Jingsheng was still shouting: "I think you'd better figure out, who is the family, and what are you?" ”
Chen Wengang leaned against the wall, and he looked at the speaker with a blank face.
No matter how close he is, he can recognize Huo Niansheng, a cheap younger brother, and the blood relationship gives Huo Jingsheng a silhouette slightly similar to his brother, but his facial features are compact and he has a mediocre temperament.
Chen Wengang said: "Get out of here. ”
Huo Jingsheng pointed to his nose: "The eldest brother's bones are not cold, I don't know how you calculated his inheritance, but the surname Zhu has no hands and feet, you know best in your own hearts, don't be smart, don't think that he is the only lawyer in Jincheng, do you think that if you occupy my eldest brother's body, you will become his widow?" If you go to court, the law doesn't protect you! ”
He pointed to the door of the morgue again: "I think you are a canary, I don't know how thick the sky is, where did you get the courage to even dare to fight the Huo family's idea, do you think he can still sit up and cover the sky with one hand to favor you?" Your umbrella is gone! ”
Chen Wengang's fist had already swung to the bridge of his nose.
Huo Jingsheng was hit hard, his skull slammed into the wall, his teeth bared, and his soul was out of his body. Kang Ming reacted quickly and immediately blocked in front of Chen Wengang, but Huo Jingsheng lost face, grabbed him angrily, kicked him, and wanted to pounce on Chen Wengang.
They were quickly pulled away by everyone, Huo Jing was panting with anger, and in the confusion, his nails still scratched Chen Wengang's face.
The little nurse shouted angrily: "Don't fight in the hospital!" Fight outside! Beat you to death! ”
Huo Jingsheng was pulled out, and someone also wanted to drive Chen Wengang away, but he was shocked by the bodyguards and dogs, and shrank back.
The little nurse returned, and she used alcohol to treat Chen Wengang's wounds.
Chen Wengang said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry. ”
The little nurse said helplessly: "I see that you are also reasonable, now that you know to apologize, don't fight!" ”
Chen Wengang still kept saying sorry, and kept saying, she said: "Okay, I know, just don't do this next time." ”
The little nurse paused, her wrist was gently grabbed, and Chen Wengang shook his head, signaling that there was no need to deal with it anymore.
She looked at him sympathetically, and he wiped away a tear with his knuckles: "There will be no next time." ”!
