In the dimly lit room, the sound of coughing continued.
Lin Xi lay on the bed and slowly opened his eyes.
There was no clock or any communication equipment in the room, so Lin Xi could only judge that it was already dawn based on the light coming in through the gaps in the sealed windows.
The continuous coughing almost killed Lin Xi.
It wasn't until the cough subsided a little that Lin Xi stood up weakly from the bed, and with trembling hands, he reached out to the cabinet next to him to get the medicine.
This medicine can't save her life, but it can make her feel less uncomfortable.
Recently, the use of this medicine is getting smaller and smaller...
Even after taking the medicine, the colic pain in the chest and the feeling of being unable to breathe still did not subside much.
Lin Xi covered his chest and felt the scary scar on his chest.
This scar appeared more than half a year ago.
—
Lin Xi only attended high school for a year and then did not go back because they said she had mental problems. Later, she was taken to the hospital for a psychiatric examination and was officially expelled from the school.
Shortly after dropping out, Lin Xi was sent to a mental hospital by her grandmother and mother for treatment.
Lin Xi tried to escape countless times, but unfortunately she couldn't escape at all: she was locked in a closed room, and every day someone would come to inject her with a muscle relaxant and a nutritional supplement.
Until one day more than half a year ago, she was finally picked up and returned to Lin's house.
On that day, everyone from the Lin family was there, and they prepared a large table of food for her to catch the wind.
That was the first time in Lin Xi's memory that he was greeted by his family.
After eating, Lin Xi began to feel sleepy. At that time, she still needed a wheelchair. As a result, she lost consciousness before someone sent her back to the room.
When Lin Xi woke up again, she found herself lying on a cold bed, surrounded by large white walls, and the incandescent lamp above her head hurt her eyes.
When Lin Xi remembered it, he found that his limbs seemed to be still under anesthesia, out of control.
When her perception recovered little by little, what followed was a strong suffocation, an unbearable tingling in her chest, and a sense of weakness all over her body.
At that moment, although Lin Xi didn't know her state, she knew that something bad had happened to her.
Lin Xi opened his mouth and could only make a trivial humming sound, but no one responded at all.
After a long time, someone who looked like a nurse came in. They changed her drip and left again.
Lin Xi just lay on the bed for a few days.
—
After about 10 days, she finally saw someone else.
Song Kexin walked into Lin Xi's ward surrounded by the Lin family.
At this time, Song Kexin seemed to be much better than when Lin Xi was in the Lin family before.
Song Kexin smiled softly at Lin Xi and sat next to her. Song Kexin told Lin Xi: They sent her here to treat her. She just had a small operation and she will be well soon. .
Although Lin Xi didn't know what happened after she fell into a coma, she had vaguely guessed what happened to her and what happened to Song Kexin.
Because she saw the same scar on Song Kexin's body.
However, after the surgery, Song Kexin recovered very well, and after using a lot of medicine for scar removal, the scars on Song Kexin's body are almost invisible now, while Lin Xi's is still clear.
—
After being discharged from the hospital, Lin Xi was taken back to Lin's house. They sent her to her own room, and because she was in poor health and needed to recuperate, they prohibited her from going out.
Windows were sealed, doors locked, time began to grow long and blurry, day and night began to become less distinct.
However, Lin Xi felt that the time he had been sleeping seemed to be getting longer and longer recently.
The pain in his chest eased a little, and Lin Xi got out of bed with difficulty and walked towards the door.
The distance of only two or three meters was extremely difficult for her.
Lin Xi came to the door and knocked on the door.
After a long knock on the door, the door was finally opened.
"water… "
Hearing Lin Xi's request, the nanny frowned, obviously unwilling to go downstairs to pour water for Lin Xi.
"I'll be going out in a while, wait a moment, wait and drink."
The nanny locked the door again.
After a while, it seemed that he had received a message from his employer. The nanny came in again and changed Lin Xi into clean and tidy clothes. Whether it was painful or not, he quickly brushed Lin Xi's hair, and then brought a bandage to Lin Xi's body. Tie hands and feet.
After finishing this, the nanny called the driver and carried Lin Xi downstairs with her.
This is the day Lin Xi went out to the hospital for treatment.
There was only one day a month when Lin Xi could have the opportunity to go out from his room.
Lin Xi was carried into the car by the two of them. The long-lost sunshine and breeze finally made Lin Xi feel a little bit of life.
However, soon, the car window was closed nervously by the nanny, and she pulled one end of the straps and tied Lin Xi to the car seat.
"Tie it up, so as to avoid bumps on the road for a while, unsteady sitting, and bumping." The nanny explained with a guilty conscience while tying it up.
Lin Xi's eyes flashed with irony.
However, in the next second, Lin Xi's eyes were covered with blindfolds.
"Get a good night's sleep."
After driving for a long time, I arrived at a private hospital with many people seeking medical treatment.
The nanny tied Lin Xi to a wheelchair in the same way and pushed him to the hospital.
In the consultation room, the doctor did not do any examinations on Lin Xi, but just took out a lot of medicine for her to take, and injected a lot of medicine into Lin Xi.
"It feels like her body has developed a little resistance to the drug, and the effect is not as good as before," said the doctor who injected Lin Xi.
"Then let's take another half dose this time." Another doctor next to him thought about it and said.
At this time, the nanny thought of the employer's explanation, and said to the doctor, "Our husband means that this time she can walk a little longer."
Hearing the words, the doctor at the station hesitated for two seconds, nodded, and said to the other doctor, "Then just give one more dose, and the other doses will also be doubled."
—
The medicine enters the body and takes effect very quickly.
After a short period of sleepiness, Lin Xi's body began to recover gradually, her spirit was much better, her face was bloody, and her legs even had air that could support her to stand up and move around.
Every time I finish taking this medicine, Lin Xi will do this.
It seemed that the drug had a curative effect, but Lin Xili knew that this drug was not a good drug at all.
Her physical recovery at the moment was only short-lived.
—
Lin Xi was helped up by the nanny and walked a few steps. When her footsteps stabilized, the nanny took her to the garden behind the hospital to walk around.
At this time, Lin Xi looked no different from other patients who were walking in the park and undergoing rehabilitation training.
—
At this time, Lin Yize was standing upstairs in the hospital, hiding in the dark, to have a panoramic view of all this.
Lin Yize dialed the phone in his hand.
"Have you seen it? People are fine, I didn't lie to you." After a pause, Lin Yize said again: "Recently, experts have found a better treatment method for Lin Xi's disease, and he has been receiving treatment during this time. It has already worked.”
The person on the other end of the phone didn't speak, but seemed relieved.
After the conversation changed, Lin Yize said again: "It's just, according to the doctor, if she wants to completely cure her disease, she still needs a bone marrow transplant with blood relatives, otherwise she will not be able to recover."
"Send her to Gu's house, we can provide her with bone marrow," said the person on the other end of the phone.
Hearing this, Lin Yize flashed a sneer in his eyes, and said: "Of course there is no problem, I can send her to Gu Jia, but I said the conditions, Gu Jia voluntarily withdrew from that project, and the batch of goods that was recently checked in and out of customs. , Gu family finds a way to recognize it."
"The Gu family has a big business, and the old man Gu has a lot of face on it. This little trouble shouldn't be trouble for you, right?"
"Let the boy talk to us."
"Of course there's no problem. When she arrives at our house, you can say whatever you want," Lin Yize pretended to sigh, and said, "After all, my wife still loves Lin Xi very much, so I leave it to our family. Helpless."
"Give you a day to think about it, and then contact me after you think about it." After that, Lin Yize directly hung up the phone without giving the other party a chance to speak again.
—
On the other hand, the Gu family.
As the call was hung up, the video in front of the Gu family was cut off.
Putting down the phone and watching the video that was already pitch black in front of him, Old Man Gu was full of worry.
"That kid..."
— Four years ago, an anonymous email was sent to Gu’s house, which contained Lin Xi’s photo, a document proving that Lin Xi was Gu Shao’s biological daughter, and a blood sample.
The Gu family didn't believe it at first, but it was not until they took blood samples for a paternity test and investigated the events of the year that they confirmed that the child was indeed Gu Shao's child.
When the other party contacted the Gu family again, the Gu family expressed their willingness to recognize the child, but was rejected.
The mother of the child is unwilling to give up the child, and the Gu family will naturally not force the other party.
Originally, this matter was over, but after that, the other party began to send information about Lin Xi to the Gu family.
Photos of Lin Xi's life, a little bit of growth, Lin Xi's situation at school, the transcript of every exam, every essay topic...
Originally, to the Gu family, Lin Xi was just a child they had never seen before. Even if there was a blood relationship and no emotional foundation, gradually, it became a habit of the Gu family to read Lin Xi's information and recent situation.
Even though they had never seen the child, the Gu family had already subconsciously regarded her as the Gu family's child.
—
The Gu family negotiated with the other party countless times, and wanted to take the child back. Even if he couldn't take it back, he hoped to see the child and raise him together. Unfortunately, they were all rejected.
The Gu family used a lot of manpower to find the child, but unfortunately, it was as if there was a force that blocked it.
A year ago, the news of the child suddenly ended, which made the Gu family, especially the old man Gu, anxious.
It wasn't until more than half a year ago that they finally received news about the child again, but they didn't want as much as before.
The explanation given by the other party was that the child was ill and thought he was not in good health, so he needed to suspend school and recuperate at home.
The news about the child is getting more and more. From the beginning once a fortnight to every month, they can only look at the child from a distance through the video to make sure that she is safe.
In the video, Lin Xi was walking around and basking in the sun in the hospital's park. His weak appearance made Mr. Gu feel pain when he saw it.
Mr. Gu once said to the other party: 'If we can't be cured, we will send her to Gu's family, and we will send her to the best medical institution for treatment. '
But the other party was not willing. Instead, he used the child as a bargaining chip and kept threatening the Gu family to submit.
- Lin Yize's request was just a trivial matter, and they agreed.
But this time, the other party's request is not a trivial matter.
"If you don't want that project, you don't want it, but the batch of goods that the other party said..." Gu Feng frowned: "That batch of goods is not easy, we don't necessarily have to go down that messy water."
"Especially now that the Gu family is still troubled."
This year, the Gu family has been consolidating their business and industry little by little, becoming more and more low-key, but, even so, there are still people who can't get used to the Gu family and continue to cause trouble for the Gu family.
These days, once the information about the Gu family was submitted, they were already too busy to take care of themselves, and if they wanted to cause other troubles, I'm afraid...
Gu Feng's face was ugly, and he turned his attention to Gu Shao, who was the leader.
"Can you find out where the other party is?"
"The video transmission has been specially processed, and the location cannot be determined." Gu Shao said in a deep voice. There is one more thing he didn't say: the other party seems to have used the first-level system to shield the information channel, and the first-level system is not accessible to ordinary people.
"That's troublesome..."
"I think the treatment the other party said won't work at all. I can't just watch the child just die!"
Gu Shao was silent, his face was not visible, no one knew the real state of his heart at this time.
- That is his child, even if he had no feelings before, after 'seeing' for four years, with feelings, his inner struggle is no better than that of the old man.
—
In the end, the Gu family made a decision and agreed to Lin Yize's conditions.
"The note for that batch of goods is in our hands. Let us receive the child first, and then give it to us."
After receiving the call, Lin Yize smiled sinisterly, walked to the sofa and sat down, and said cheerfully: "No problem, the Gu family has now sent out the announcement of abandoning that project, and I will pick up the child in 3 hours, and I will send the location half an hour in advance. them."
Hanging up the phone, Lin Yize called the person under his hand again.
"boss."
"Are you all ready?"
"Boss, you ordered it yesterday, and we are ready."
"Okay, then, let's do as I said. After an hour, my driver will throw the person at the location we set before. I don't care what method you use, kill her, and then arrange a group of people..."
Lam Yize explained without changing his face.
Lin Xi was the humiliation of his marriage. He couldn't keep this humiliation alive, let alone make the Gu family happy, so in the end, what Gu Shao received would only be a corpse.
Moreover, he wanted to give Gu Shao an unforgettable blow.
Hanging up the phone, Lin Yize smiled grimly.
Lin Yize thought that everything was under control, but he didn't notice Lin Xi who was eavesdropping in the dark.
—
At this time, Lin Xi had been brought back to Lin's house by the nanny from the hospital.
The medicines she took in the hospital had very serious side effects. Every time she came back from the hospital, Lin Xi would have a serious overdraft, and felt that she was on the verge of life and death.
This time, they injected a much larger amount of medicine into her, and when she returned home, Lin Xi was still alive.
She wanted to go downstairs and bring some water back to the room while the nanny was not paying attention. Drinking a lot of water is not very useful, but it can be diluted with a potion to make her feel better.
Lin Xi took the water and prepared to go up, but he didn't expect that Lin Yize happened to be back, so Lin Xi had to hide in the corner temporarily.
Since her lungs were replaced and she was locked up, Lin Xi no longer dared to trust anyone in this family, even if they were her parents and relatives.
At this time, when Lin Yize heard Lin Yize actually instructing his subordinates to kill him on the phone, Lin Xi's eyes widened, his face was pale, and there was panic and disbelief in his eyes.
—From childhood to adulthood, Lin Xi never understood why the family only liked Lin Anxin and disliked himself.
She blamed and complained, until later, when she was locked in a dark room, she finally no longer expected the care of her family.
But Lin Xi could never have imagined that his father would actually kill him, and even let him torture himself.
On the phone, Lin Yize seemed to want to take revenge on someone through her death, but Lin Xi didn't hear it clearly.
Lin Xi covered his mouth tightly and shivered in the corner, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
It was not until Lin Yize left temporarily that Lin Xi shivered and climbed out of the corner and ran back to his room.
Back in the room, Lin Xi forced himself to calm down and found what he was hiding in the corner under the mattress.
That's a bunch of different medicines.
These are the medicines that Lin Xi secretly hides and brings back in his hands every time he goes to the hospital for 'treatment', almost every one of them has.
The medicines have their own uses: some make her look flushed, some stimulate her nerves, some give her a temporary recovery, and some make her feel no pain.
After so many 'treatments', Lin Xi observed and felt very carefully every time. Now, she has been able to roughly distinguish the use of each medicine.
Lin Xi picked out the red pills and blue-white capsules. These two pills should allow her to temporarily recover and keep her muscles excited for a while.
Lin Xi knew that this medicine was not a good thing, but now, she had no choice.
Lin Xi swallowed all the pills and ran downstairs to hide.
—
Finding that Lin Xi was gone, Lin Xi started frantically looking for someone.
When the sound outside became quieter, Lin Xi crawled out from the gap in the Lin family's warehouse.
At this time, it was already dark and it was raining outside.
After escaping from the gate, Lin Xi didn't care whether he would be found or not, and started to run out desperately.
The violent running made Lin Xi breathless. In the darkness, it was difficult to tell the direction. The cold rain fell, hitting Lin Xi's face and blurring her vision.
Only, it doesn't matter.
At this moment, Lin Xi's only thought was to escape, running forward desperately.
Maybe she will meet the police on duty at a certain time, they will save her, maybe she will be a kind passerby, and they will help her...
Lin Xi didn't know how long she ran, her face was numb from the cold rain, she couldn't hear anything except the rain, and her legs were already numb.
The efficacy of the medicine began to fade, and the feeling of insensitivity struck again, with both legs on the ground as if stepping on cotton.
After a while, Lin Xi fell to the ground with a 'smack'.
"Found it! There!"
The sound from not far away shocked Lin Xi. Lin Xi, regardless of the pain in his body, got up from the ground and started to run forward.
The voice behind him was approaching little by little.
-Anyone? Who can come and save her? Even if it's a passing car...
Lin Xi cried out in despair in his heart, but after all, he was unable to run past the group of people behind him.
Lin Xi was caught by the gang and fell heavily to the ground again.
"Damn it! Let's find it for a while!" Several gangster-like people scolded, stepping forward and dragging Lin Xi away.
"Don't—" Lin Xi was struggling, his nails digging hard on the ground, but to no avail.
Fingers slid across the asphalt on the ground, nails were pulled off, and bloodstains flowed down and quickly melted into the rain.
The thugs dragged Lin Xi off the road and into a nearby alley.
Lin Xi still wanted to get caught, but there was no escape, only the coldness of the ground reminded her that she was still alive at the moment.
The rain obscured Lin Xi's vision, making her unable to see everything in front of her, only to see the gang of thugs surrounding her.
While laughing playfully, the gangsters kicked and stomped at Lin Xi until Lin Xi on the ground remained motionless.
"Are you dead?"
One person kicked Lin Xi, and Lin Xi coughed weakly.
"Hey, he's not dead yet."
"If you don't die, just play."
Several people stepped forward and tore off Lin Xi's clothes.
At this time, Lin Xi's eyes were already pitch black, and the pain spread in every corner of his body.
- who will save her...
Finally, Gu Shao found Lin Xi, but he was a step too late.
The people brought by Gu Shao pulled the gangsters away and walked ruthlessly. The gangster was caught, and the gangster fled in the chaos.
The narrow and dirty alley was quiet again.
The woman was lying on the cold ground, her bloodless body already broken.
Gu Shao walked over, took off his clothes and covered the woman.
At this time, Lin Xi's breath was already weak.
Gu Shao put his hand on Lin Xi's face, Lin Xi seemed to tremble in horror, however, even the tremor was so insignificant.
-who is it
Lin Xi felt a hand caressing his face, very warm, as if there was no malice.
—Has a kind passerby finally come to save her
Lin Xi thought to himself.
Lin Xi tried hard to open her eyes and look at the person in front of her, but she was out of breath.
she is so tired...
very tired…
—
Not far away, a few sneaky figures secretly filmed this scene.
Soon, a piece of news that 'ntn president Gu Shao killed Hua Jinu' swept the entire network, and then a bigger secret was revealed.
In this exposure, the viciousness of the Gu family is vividly described, and evidence is also presented, saying that Gu Shao had forcibly violated Song Kexin many years ago, and the woman he killed was after he violated Song Kexin. , the child born by Song Kexin.
Because Gu Shao discovered the existence of this child and was worried that his past scandals would be exposed, he wanted to kill the child, and forged the illusion that the child was a victim of missteps.
Song Kexin, the victim, personally testified against Gu Shao in court.
In court, Song Kexin tearfully accused Gu Shao of committing evil deeds.
"My child, my poor child, how could you bear to kill her, this devil!"
Everyone in court shed tears of sympathy for Song Kexin and the dead flower girl.
Seeing all the ridiculous things in front of him, Gu Shao was expressionless.
- Black and white, sometimes not so clear.
But at this moment, Gu Shao recalled that the woman laughed at the last moment when her palm fell.
