The father and son cried together, and the nightmare that lasted for several years finally dissipated. They pushed aside the layers of clouds and saw their beloved smiling softly under the dazzling light.
Yang Yun died of illness. During the year when Qiao Shao disappeared, she worked day and night to find a way to find her child. After staying up for a few days and nights, she fainted. Liver cancer.
At that time, Qiao Zongmin almost went crazy, and Yang Yun hugged him and said, "Da Qiao, I think Xiao Yi will definitely come back."
Qiao Zongmin hugged her tightly, like a drowning man clutching the last piece of driftwood.
Yang Yun said warmly: "My illness is preventing disaster for my son. Trust me, he will come back safely."
Qiao Zongmin's heart was like a knife, but he couldn't fall down. The house had already collapsed in half, and he had to stand up.
Although the existing medical conditions cannot cure liver cancer, as long as there is enough money, it can continue to prolong life. Medicine is advancing all the time, and new drugs and treatments are being developed, and in their conditions, can provide Yang Yun with the best treatment.
As long as it is delayed for one year, another year, and five years, there may be new breakthroughs, and there will be new progress in diseases that cannot be cured...
But Yang Yun's mental state was too bad.
In the year that Qiao Shao disappeared, Yang Yun was awake all night, and she was suffering from the pain of a dull knife grinding her heart every day.
When Qiao Shao came back a year later, Yang Yun's tight string was loosened, and she only felt that she died without regret.
In fact, Qiao Shao's rejection and fear of her did not overwhelm her, she was just glad that the child was back, and the wish she begged day and night was fulfilled.
Until the moment before her death, Yang Yun said to Qiao Zongmin: "Tell Xiaoyi, I am very satisfied." She was afraid that Qiao Shao, who was sober, would blame herself until she died.
She left a letter to Qiao Shao, which Qiao Zongmin dared not give to Qiao Shao before, but now he can.
Qiao Shao opened it with trembling hands, and read it line by line, with tears in his eyes.
His mother told him that she was very satisfied in her life, very satisfied to meet Qiao Zongmin, very satisfied to give birth to Qiao Shao, she was very happy after so many years of life, and finally her son came back and she was really satisfied.
Time is not short, ten years of happiness is no shorter than a hundred years of life, and she has already had the best life.
Qiao Shao fell asleep crying.
The human spirit has a limit, Qiao Shao remembered everything and accepted everything, which consumed most of his mind.
Although he was tired, he no longer had nightmares. He held the letter from his mother to him, and the dream was warm and peaceful.
He seems to have returned to his carefree childhood, returned to his parents, and felt the purest love and being loved.
It wasn't until he was completely asleep that Qiao Zongmin looked at He Shen: "Come here." After dropping these two words, he walked out the door lightly.
He Shen looked at Qiao Shao again and felt that he would not wake up in a short time, so he followed Qiao Zongmin out.
Qiao Zongmin returned to the third floor, opened a locked door, He Shen paused, Qiao Zongmin walked in, picked up a remote control and turned on the projector without even looking at it.
A video appeared on the pale screen.
He Shen glanced at it, his hands were already clenched into fists.
Qiao Zongmin also stared at him without blinking. His voice was low and vague: "This woman's name is Qi Jingyi..."
The high-definition video on the screen shows exactly the scene Qiao Shao dictated, how he met this woman, how he helped her, and how he was abducted...
When listening to Qiao Shao, He Shen was full of doubts.
The Shenhai Building is located in the downtown area. The surveillance here should be very thorough. Qiao Zongmin lost his son, how could he not find this video, and how could he not find this woman
Qiao Zongmin said: "his mother and I never restrained him. He wanted to go out to play and let him go. Although he also let the bodyguard follow him, the man was careless. He thought this was the safest place in the deep sea building, and I haven't had an accident for so many years, and I'm mentally relaxed." Then something happened.
Qiao Zongmin blames himself every time he thinks of this, and he continued with a sigh of relief: "After Shao Shao disappeared, we quickly found this surveillance and found all the information about this woman, but we can't find any follow-up."
He told He Shen about this woman.
Qi Jingyi, a woman who was completely mad because of the loss of her son.
She is a single mother who was divorced because of a mild mental illness, and even left her a somewhat stupid son. She raised her son with difficulty and lived a miserable life. But even after trying so hard to live, her son was killed by her—she forgot to turn off the fire when she went out, and her ten-year-old son died of gas poisoning.
Then she went crazy.
Qiao Zongmin paused for a moment, then said sternly: "When they found out about this, the police were not optimistic." If it was a simple kidnapping, no matter how much money, Qiao Zongmin would have redeemed his son, but such a mentally ill person is unimaginable. what will she do.
He Shen understood: "Qi Jingyi hasn't been out of the basement for a whole year, so she doesn't have any clues to look for."
Qiao Zongmin nodded and said, "We all thought she was dead." He died with Qiao Shao.
The surveillance video caught Qi Jingyi abducting Qiao Shao, but did not capture where she took him.
The police also searched the underground parking lot where Qi Jingyi was, but they never found the hidden room.
After that, the police checked all means of transportation, and even checked the surveillance of the whole city over and over again, but unfortunately found nothing.
These two people are like evaporating from the world.
Who would have thought that Qi Jingyi was hiding in such a confined space
After her son died, she lived an abnormally normal life. It took her two years to prepare, and she stocked up a lot of convenience food and mineral water. Let him encounter any danger again, not let him be discriminated against by anyone, let alone let him leave her.
After Qiao Shao came back, the police quickly found the room and saw Qi Jingyi's body. Although Qiao Shao couldn't say a word or describe what he had experienced this year, he could vaguely guess just by looking at the results.
A complete tragedy, a complete disaster.
Qi Jingyi's kidnapping was not targeted. When she saw Qiao Shao, she just thought that this child was so good-looking, only her child would be so good-looking, so she took him away.
It's all cause and effect.
Qiao Shao suffered severe mental persecution in the past year. After returning home, he was afraid of adult women, afraid of quietness, and afraid of the word mother.
If Yang Yun didn't get sick, Qiao Shao would recover slowly and accept her mother again, but Yang Yun couldn't hold it anymore.
Qiao Shao, who had improved a little, heard the news of his mother's death: self-blame, guilt, fear, pain... Countless emotions were pressing on his nerves like mountains. When he couldn't bear it, his body activated its self-protection mechanism, and he forgot all about it.
After turning off the projector, Qiao Zongmin looked at He Shen: "Do you think you are suitable for him?"
Such a straight-to-the-point sentence made He Shen's back tense.
This is impossible, Qiao Zongmin must have seen it - this day and night guardianship is not something ordinary friends would do.
He Shen lowered his eyes and said, "I like him."
With a bang, the remote slammed into the back wall and shattered.
Qiao Zongmin's voice was extremely cold: "What I'm asking is, do you think you are suitable for him!"
He Shen's throat felt like a block of lead, heavy and astringent.
Qiao Zongmin said: "You are all men. Will your family accept you? Can this society accept you? Qiao Shao has finally recovered. Are you going to drag him into another abyss!"
He Shen pursed his thin lips and said hoarsely, "I will protect him."
Qiao Zongmin grabbed his collar and stared at him: "Don't fool me with such frivolous words."
His voice was low and low, full of the momentum and oppression of people who have been in high positions for a long time.
He Shen is at an absolute disadvantage. How can a seventeen-year-old boy compare to this man who is all-powerful in the world
Ordinary people may have been shocked by Qiao Zongmin, but He Shen raised his head. He stared at Qiao Zongmin and said in a stubborn tone, "I will definitely protect him!"
Qiao Zongmin stared at him, but He Shen didn't dodge at all.
In the dimly lit room, filled with the space of the heavy past, two strong men were fighting with each other.
"Go away." Qiao Zongmin released his hand and ordered He Shen to evict the guest.
He Shenji hangs with Qiao Shao.
Qiao Zongmin looked at him, his eyes condensed: "Get out!"
He Shen's eyelashes drooped slightly, and bowed to him: "I'm sorry."
Qiao Zongmin looked at him coldly.
He Shen continued: "I want to be with him no matter what."
Qiao Zongmin picked up something and smashed it towards He Shen.
He Shen didn't hide, his forehead was scratched by the flying ashtray, bleeding.
Qiao Zongmin didn't even look at him: "Don't let me see you again!"
He Shen's eyes dimmed, he apologized again and left.
He didn't go to see Qiao Shao, but went out of Qiao's house and stood outside the door.
The clouds that had been hazy for a day finally couldn't hold back their heavy weight, and it started to rain heavily.
He Shen stood motionless, with Qiao Zongmin's words echoing in his mind.
Are you right for him? Are you right for him
He Shen's fingers trembled, and he laughed self-deprecatingly.
He is not worthy of him, but he wants to give him all the love for the rest of his life.
It was raining heavily, and the raised water mist made the street foggy. He Shen stood there straight, like a lighthouse in the fog, very clear and firm.
Qiao Zongmin looked away and called, "Old Chen, bring that child in."
When Qiao Shao woke up, he was in good shape. Qiao Zongmin just came in and asked him, "Are you hungry? Aunt Wu will cook porridge for you."
Qiao Shao's stomach immediately cooperated a few times: "I'm very hungry."
Qiao Zongmin immediately said, "I'll go and bring the porridge over."
"No," Qiao Shao got out of bed and said, "I'll go to the restaurant to eat."
When Qiao Zongmin saw that he was in good spirits, the big stone in his heart fell: "I will accompany you."
Qiao Shao looked around and hesitated.
Qiao Zongmin did not see it.
Qiao Shao wanted to find a mobile phone, and Qiao Zongmin urged him: "Come and eat something."
Qiao Shao couldn't find his mobile phone after searching for a long time, so he could only go to the restaurant first.
After sitting down he looked around again...
Qiao Zongmin stirred the porridge bowl for him: "It's a little hot, drink it carefully."
Qiao Shao couldn't help it: "Dad, where's He Shen?"
Qiao Zongmin: "..."
Qiao Shao cleared his throat and said, "He went back?" He Shen stayed up for two days and two nights, and it was normal to go back to rest.
Qiao Zongmin said, "Eat."
Qiao Shao looked at Da Qiao's demeanor while drinking porridge.
How could Qiao Zongmin not understand his thoughts, his own cub was so simple that he could not rest assured!
Da Qiao put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Do you like that kid so much?"
Qiao Shao swallowed a mouthful of porridge and was so frightened that he choked up: "cough...cough..." His face flushed, "Dad, what did you say..."
When he is guilty, he will call him Dad honestly.
Qiao Zongmin sighed and said, "What's the panic? Dr. Zhang reminded me early on that your future partner may be a male."
When Qiao Shao heard it, he wanted to get under the table.
Qiao Zongmin said unwillingly: "Dad doesn't care if you like men or women, but how can you be that kid Xie Shen..."
Qiao Shao was not happy anymore. He looked up at his father and said seriously: "What's wrong with him? Can he choose what kind of family he is born in? Can he decide what kind of blood he has? He is in a silt. Straight and green, shouldn't we appreciate him more!"
Qiao Zongmin: "..."
Anyway, after everything was said, Qiao Shao didn't hesitate anymore. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Comrade Da Qiao, please put down your tinted glasses and take a good look at He Shen. What's wrong with him?"
Qiao Zongmin glanced at the wet boy at the door, and the boss was not happy.
Qiao Shao said: "He Shen comes first in the exam every time. He learns things quickly and accurately, and he is not afraid of hardship. Do you know how pitiful the Xie family is? Let him earn 10 million in three years. How old is he? This is a requirement. It's a joke to an ordinary high school student, but he can do it without any start-up capital, no connections, and no help!"
Qiao Shao also dissed his father: "I bet you can't do it at the age of seventeen!"
Qiao Zongmin: "..."
Qiao Shao said more and more vigorously, and said plausibly: "You really don't know how good he is, with a good brain, willing to endure hardships, patience and tenacity, oh... You haven't seen him play basketball, he's so handsome, let me tell you... I shoot He can get the ball that doesn't go in..."
Before he finished speaking, he followed Da Qiao's line of sight to see He Shen at the door.
Qiao Shaoshao blinked: "Eh..."
Qiao Zongmin regretted calling this stinky boy in!
The author has something to say: I have a hunch that Da Qiao will be sprayed again today.
Put yourself in the shoes and think about it, Da Qiao's mentality is actually fine [cover face]
