Feng Nan was not at home, and the person in charge of taking care of her could not explain why, and had no idea when the young lady disappeared.
Perhaps it was because this girl was usually too well-behaved and never caused anyone any worry. It was not until such a long time after the accident that everyone knew she was missing, until Feng Zhongliang asked about it.
Hearing the sound of Feng's mother playing cards on the phone, Feng Zhongliang was extremely furious and shouted at her to go home immediately.
After she came back, she dared not say a word to her father-in-law. The worry on her face was not so much for her daughter as it was for the card game in which she had not yet won or lost.
Her assistant followed behind her carrying her bag. Her delicate makeup couldn't hide her tired look.
After learning that her daughter was missing, she complained continuously. She first firmly guessed that her daughter was disobedient and must have gone out to play somewhere and refused to return home.
Feng Zhongliang looked at her yawning coldly, and suddenly felt a chill running through his bones.
In his early years, he had been traveling outside for the revolutionary war, leaving the home to his wife. When the Chinese revolutionary war was victorious, he took his family to Hong Kong, and his children were already quite old.
Due to lack of discipline, the children of the Feng family fear their father more than they love him.
Having served in the army for many years, Feng Zhongliang is a man of his word, never smiling and very serious. The younger generations in the family, both big and small, are very afraid of him. Among his grandchildren, few are close to him. Even in his presence, most of them are very respectful, and some children even tremble with fear.
He wasn't close to his family and his blood relationship was distant, so every time he came home from a social event, the mansion he had worked so hard to build seemed particularly cold.
Every time after getting drunk, Xiao Liu is always the one running around.
But Feng Zhongliang had never felt that the Feng family was so cold before. This mansion was so cold that he could not sense the presence of human touch.
He asked people to track down Feng Nan's whereabouts, and he also summoned people from other departments. These people suppressed their dissatisfaction, but dared not even breathe under his pressure.
Feng Zhongliang still remembers that Feng Qinlun was the last one to be found.
As Feng Nan's biological father, he had no idea that his daughter was missing. He was still drunk when he was dragged down from Wang Zhiqiu's bed. When he was brought in front of Feng Zhongliang, he was drunk, his clothes were in disarray, and he looked disheveled.
Feng Zhongliang asked him:
"Where's Feng Nan?"
"Feng Nan?"
He even thought for a long time before he remembered such a daughter and pointed upstairs:
"I guess he fell asleep."
At that time, Feng Zhongliang responded with a loud slap in the face, which immediately knocked Feng Qinlun to the ground, where he trembled.
He was so afraid of his father that he didn't even dare to say a word of rebuttal.
The people from the other rooms were either gloating over his misfortune or daring to breathe; no one proposed a solution, and no one pleaded for Feng Qinlun.
Even after so many years, Feng Zhongliang still remembers that silence clearly.
At that time, Feng Zhongliang began to reflect on the failure of his education and also began to recall his past life. What was the purpose of Zhongnan Industrial, for which he had struggled for half his life
The unfolded package was placed in front of everyone, and everyone was looking at it as if they were seeing something strange and exciting. Some were scared, some were glad it wasn't them, but most of them looked numb, as if it had nothing to do with them.
Feng Nan has been missing for a long time, and no one can tell the exact time when they last saw her.
All I know is that these three bloody nails were received seven or eight hours ago.
For a long time, Feng Zhongliang always recalled the three bloody nails. What he thought about more was not the pain Feng Nan felt when her nails were pulled out. In fact, he was secretly afraid that at the moment when Feng Nan's nails were pulled out, whether she expected her family to come to rescue her and protect her from the torture of the bandits.
Will her hopes be worn away bit by bit in the desperate waiting
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Feng Zhongliang couldn't help but think about it, but he couldn't ask. After Feng Nan was rescued, life went on as usual.
There were more servants serving her, and she became quieter and more obedient.
Just like Tang Jing in the movie, who was locked in a dark room, waiting for the kidnappers to ask for a ransom from the Tang family, that feeling of waiting for redemption.
At that time, she must have been like in the movies, trying her best to crawl towards the light, letting the sunlight and light shine on her, waiting for her parents and relatives to break in.
After being disappointed and knowing that no one would come again, she crawled into the darkness again, curled up into a ball, hoping that no one would find her. If others couldn't see her, would there be no more hurt
Feng Zhongliang was heartbroken when he saw Tang Jing cowering in a corner, trembling with fear and dodging even when her bare foot was accidentally illuminated by the light. He almost cried.
He remembered that when he rescued Feng Nan, she was also huddled in a dark corner. If it weren't for the police holding a flashlight, the little girl would probably not have been discovered for a while.
How similar is the scene back then to the scene in the movie
After Cheng Jianguo, played by Liu Ye, took on the task of "taking care" of the hostages, he spent more time with Tang Jing. A desperate bandit and a prey, perhaps it was Tang Jing's gentleness and helplessness that touched Cheng Jianguo's heart little by little.
It was difficult for him to hate her as righteously as he did at the beginning. Sometimes he would get angry because of Tang Jing's background and status, but most of the time he was much nicer to Tang Jing.
He was supposed to kick down hard with his raised foot, but for some reason, the leg weighed more than a thousand pounds, and when he lifted it up, he put it down weakly.
He watched the girl's changes, from the beginning when she was beaten but still stubbornly clung to the window, sometimes stretching out her hands to try to catch the sunlight, to the end when she hid in the corner, afraid of the light, and sometimes motionless, as if she was already dead.
She was so obedient that Cheng Jianguo gradually became curious about her. One time, he couldn't help asking her:
"Are you always like this?"
Even his ten-year-old daughter, who in his heart was an extremely sensible and obedient child, who could withstand the torture of heart disease, could not help but sometimes show her childish temper and act coquettishly and cutely in front of him.
Cheng Jianguo didn't know what other people's daughters were like when they were eighteen years old, but he still remembered that he was eighteen years old, a lawless age. He got into a lot of trouble, big and small, and acted on impulse, causing his parents a lot of headaches.
In comparison, Tang Jing was born into a wealthy family and had everything around her. She should be spoiled like a princess, instead of being as quiet as a wisp of light smoke that could disappear into the air without anyone noticing.
Her big eyes were unfocused as she looked into the distance. After getting used to the darkness, Cheng Jianguo was convinced that she could find him, because her body was still shaking instinctively in the darkness. (To be continued)
