The Heart of a Smith

Chapter 2

Views:

Today is Friday. As usual, Li Yan has to go home for dinner. When he mentioned this at the dinner table, his father didn't blame him, and even praised him for doing a good job.

"You have to be more careful when dealing with him." Li Jinyao reminded him.

"I know, how many times have you told me to walk three times and then four." Li Yan was impatient.

"Stinky boy, how dare you dislike you, Laozi," Li Jinyue said angrily, "Lu Shang is no one else. His father's death had something to do with us back then. Just your shrewdness, beware of being sold by others."

Li Yan was unhappy in his heart, seeing that his father's face was not good-looking, he had to say: "I see."

Li Jinyao is old enough to have a son, and he can't dote on this son. Although Li Yan is still young, he is sheltered by his family. The business field has always been smooth and smooth, and he has never suffered a single loss. Keep an eye on it.

"And that Sun Mao, please take a look at Yan Shi, don't let him get in the way of our business."

Li Yan responded, and thought of something again, and asked, "By the way, Dad, wasn't Sun Mao very good in the past? How can he be like this now?"

Li Jinyao shook off the newspaper and smiled strangely: "There are two things in this world that cannot be touched, one is poison, and the other is gambling. Once it is caught, he will have gold and silver and he will finish playing sooner or later. Sun Mao used to be rich. , but since someone took him to Macau last year, he has hardly been in the inland for the whole year, who knows how much he lost."

"Who took him there?"

"Meng Xinyou."

If the famous Shuyuan on TV were put into reality, she would probably be like Meng Xinyou. Not to mention her own conditions, she is a person who has made military achievements and was written into history textbooks in the last three generations. Her family is all high officials, her uncle is still The head of the energy giant. This girl has a very wide social circle, and she has all kinds of friends. It doesn't seem strange that Sun Mao would be pulled into the pit by her, but few people know... She is actually Lu Shang's godsister. Li Yan only thought for a moment and knew what role Lu Shang played in the whole thing, and couldn't help but scolded in a low voice, "Fuck."

At nine o'clock in the morning, the loan repayment funds were credited on time. After listening to Uncle Yuan's report, Lu Shang nodded: "Send a letter to Secretary Sun, and then pick a gift for Meng Xinyou."

Uncle Yuan replied, remembered something, turned around and said, "The child you brought back yesterday, the toxins that can drive people mad were detected in the serum, and they have been cleaned up and there is no residue. It seems that the Li family is indeed smuggling contraband. Business, and I did a full-body inspection as you ordered, this is the inspection report."

Uncle Yuan handed it to him: "It must have been abused for a long time. Many new injuries and old injuries have been examined. The body is still severely malnourished. The doctor said that he is afraid that he will be hospitalized."

"Let's stay," Lu Shang took it and put it aside without looking, "leave a sample of the poisonous serum, and then ask Director Wu of the West District to open a power of attorney to make an injury appraisal, and take pictures of the wounds. , to obtain the surveillance in front of the auto repair shop, and cut out the video of the violence and archive it."

Uncle Yuan: "You want to..."

Lu Shang gave him a tacit look. He really wasn't a good person, but if he could hold Li Yan's braid in his hands, he wouldn't mind meddling in this business. Adding fuel to the flames, the effect will definitely be doubled. Li Yan is still a little more tender in the end. If this matter is replaced by Li Jinyao, he must have dealt with the people cleanly and sent them to the door, not only putting gold on his face but not leaving a handle.

Lu Shang squeezed the gauze on his wrist and changed the subject: "When will Zi Rui return to China?"

"Arrived at eleven o'clock tonight, and someone has been arranged to pick up the plane."

Uncle Yuan has always been thoughtful, and he has nothing to worry about. After saying this, the two fell into silence. After a long time, Lu Shang asked him, "Do you want to ask me why I brought such a person back?"

Uncle Yuan: "Your father explained it before his death. You know he was very concerned about this."

Lu Shang imagined his father's distressed face, and smiled lightly: "Don't worry."

Uncle Yuan didn't say any more, just asked: "Dr. Liang, after picking him up, did he ask him to come to Lu's house first

"No, let him go directly to the hospital, I'll go find him when I'm free."

Uncle Yuan changed his face.

Seeing his serious appearance, Lu Shang couldn't help but said, "Uncle Yuan, I've waited too long, it doesn't matter anymore."

Uncle Yuan, who has been a driver in the Lu family for nearly 30 years, is also Lu Shang's assistant. He knows his temperament best, knowing that it is useless to say more at this time, so he reluctantly nodded.

Nine years ago, Lu Shang's father died of heart failure, and the young Lu Shang had to rush back from abroad to deal with his father's funeral and take over the business of the Lu family. It was also at that time that Uncle Yuan began to contact this little-known man. heir. Lu Shang was young, but he was very organized and quick to get started. With the help of an old friend of Lu's father, he quickly stabilized the situation. Uncle Yuan didn't understand at first why the Lu family didn't keep the only son at home to help him, and insisted on putting him abroad... until he saw Lu Shang's medical report.

Life is an equivalent exchange followed by another equivalent exchange. Every time you have one thing, you are bound to exchange something else. His father did not escape the fate, and neither did he.

Uncle Yuan's work efficiency is very high. That night, the photo of the wound was sent to the Lu family's desk. Lu Shang never paid much attention to these chores. He just flipped through it out of habit. Did not let go.

Liang Zirui got off the plane and went straight to Lu's house, pushed open the door, and found that the worried owner was still busy.

"The patient is about to go to bed early, why don't you listen to the doctor's orders?" Liang Zirui threw the suitcase on the ground and hurried to open the refrigerator, "Hurry up, do you have anything to eat, I'm starving to death? already."

Lu Shang stared at the sand on his shoes: "Can you change your shoes and come in again?"

"Forgot." Liang Zirui kicked off his shoes twice and went to open the refrigerator door. At this moment, a call came from the kitchen, saying that the snail noodles had been cooked.

When Liang Zirui heard that there was snail powder, he immediately stopped turning over the refrigerator, and said with a smile, "You know I'll be here at night."

"Ouch, what's wrong with your hand?" Liang Zirui was attracted by the gauze on his hand and pulled over to take a look. He was quite shocked, "Is this... bitten by a man?"

Lu Shang was busy looking through the documents in his hand and ignored him.

"Don't move your hands, I'll give you a diagnosis."

Liang Zirui was born in Lushang. He was studying for a doctorate in medicine in the United States, but his family opened a traditional Chinese medicine shop near Chinatown. This person is a medical madman, especially loves to challenge difficult patients. He claims to be a flower in the medical field, but he is actually a wonderful flower. When he sees incurable diseases, his eyes are more earnest than when he sees bikini beauties. Pickup girl, but he rushed to check the pulse.

When Liang Zirui tried to diagnose his pulse, the snail powder, roasted squid, and roasted toon were all placed on the dining table, and the whole house stinks.

"You've worked hard for the past six months. Come to my place tomorrow, and I'll give you an examination. Don't eat breakfast." Liang Zirui put his hands away, his face was not very good-looking.

"I… "

"It's okay to refuse, you will be deprived of anesthesia next time." Liang Zirui ate calmly.

The charcoal fire of the fireplace made a soft sound, and Lu Shang decisively avoided the topic. He pulled out a photo from the document and pushed it over, "What do you think this scar looks like?"

Liang Zirui took a sip of water, and at a glance, he came to a conclusion: "The bullet penetrated."

"Can you compare the caliber?"

"Difficult, this is at least a scar from ten years ago, and it should have been a child when it was injured. Now the skin has grown open."

After all, he couldn't help but be suspicious, and took the report and read it: "The domestic gun ban, there are not many people with this kind of injury. Whose injury appraisal is this?"

Lu Shang's expression was suddenly indescribable: "Zirui... Do you believe in fate?"

Liang Zirui looked up from the report and said in surprise, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Lu Shang shook his head: "I didn't believe it before."

The hand that was reading the report suddenly tightened, and Liang Zirui quickly connected some clues in his mind. After realizing what he was saying, he stood up from his seat and asked, "You mean, this is the child ten years ago? He not dead?"

"I don't know, so I'm going to trouble you," Lu Shang said calmly, "I put him in your place, you can help me tomorrow morning, please."

"Tsk, don't tell me sooner, where is your driver, take me back quickly."

After sending Liang Zirui away, Lu Shang was busy for a while before taking a break. The New Year was approaching, and there were so many things and complicated things. He had to pay more attention. When he woke up in the morning, his face was not very good, and Uncle Yuan frowned.

"Or don't go there today."

"It's okay." Lu Shang lowered his head and straightened his cuffs.

It was a little foggy in the morning, and before it all dissipated, Lu Shang drove all the way to the inpatient department of Regal Hospital, and Liang Zirui was already waiting at the door.

"You look like you've crawled out of a grave."

Lu Shang really felt uncomfortable, and kept pressing his right hand on his chest quietly: "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Liang Zirui put his hand on his shoulder and led him around a corner with a smile, "Check first."

Regal Hospital is a private hospital funded by the Lu family and opened in the name of Uncle Liang Zirui. It is located next to the largest public hospital in the city. The two buildings are separated by an air corridor, and large instruments are shared. Lu Shang didn't like crowds, so Liang Zirui let him reluctantly go through the corridor to do the inspection. Fortunately, all his data had been archived, and he could get the results quickly.

"It's serious again."

Lu Shang didn't care.

"At this rate of deterioration, it will be difficult for you to last until the end of next year," Liang Zirui felt a headache, "I have sampled for you, boy, and the comparison results will not come out until next week."

"Not urgent."

"I'm in a hurry," Liang Zirui said, "time is running out."

Lu Shang looked up at him, he pushed the echocardiogram over, and pointed out: "The allogeneic blood vessel transplanted to you two years ago did not work well, and the aorta after the narrowed segment has an aneurysm, which is very dangerous. , in case it breaks, you can only go to see God."

Lu Shang: "Tell me how to do it."

Liang Zirui was helpless, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I have a new cyclosporine project in hand. If it goes well, it may be able to help you. You... just wait."

In the evening, the two of them ate at the restaurant. When they left, Lu Shang packed an egg custard and some small desserts that children like to eat.

"It's really rare to be so caring, Boss Lu." Liang Zirui teased him.

Lu Shang ignored it and asked, "Which one?"

"you guess."

"… "

Liang Zirui was afraid of him: "Hey, 503."

The TV was broadcasting the news that the cold snap was coming, Lu Shang walked into the ward, and the boy on the bed was in a daze. In order to facilitate the treatment of the wound, his hair was cut short, revealing a pair of black eyes, with gauze at the corners of his eyes, and his skin was very white.

Lu Shang put the packing box on the shelf in front of him and asked softly, "Remember me?"

The boy's deep eyes wandered for a while on the gauze on his wrist, met his gaze, and respectfully shouted, "Boss Lu."

Lu Shang nodded and sat down on the chair in front of the hospital bed: "What's your name?"

"Xiao Li... My surname is Li, and they all call me Xiao Li."

"No name?"

"Can not remember."

Lu Shang stared at him for a while, and said, "Let's call Li Sui."

The boy looked at him with a suspicious look on his face.

"Follow me later," Lu Shang didn't intend to explain, he just asked, "Do you recognize the words?"

"Recognize some."

Lu Shang had an idea in his mind, so he didn't ask anything else, just let him eat.

A few days later, someone brought some clothes, all of them high-end items. Li Sui didn't realize that it was for him until he saw Uncle Yuan put the items in his closet.

"You will be discharged from the hospital in three weeks. Someone will pick you up. Remember to change your clothes in advance," Uncle Yuan said routinely. "This is your ID card."

Li Sui took it and stared at the word "Li Sui" on it, stunned for a long time.

"This is a credit card. It's a supplementary card under the name of Boss Lu. You can use it to swipe what you want to buy, but you can't cash it out. If you want to save money, you can get another bank card yourself after you leave the hospital."

"I..." Li Sui stared at the card, speechless for a long time.

Uncle Yuan didn't say much after seeing this, and put the card on the table.

Liang Zirui looked at the boy's reaction in front of the monitor and was overjoyed: "Look at you scaring other children..."

As if Lu Shang had nothing to do with him, he lowered his head and opened a can of beer.

"How on earth are you going to place him?"

"Adoption." The words were succinct.

"Adoption?" Liang Zirui was speechless and rolled his eyes, "It's better to adopt."

He was unintentional, but Lu Shang unexpectedly listened to his heart. If he adopted, he would face property problems in the future, and secondly, it would bring unnecessary danger to the child. This was also what he was thinking about these two days. , it is indeed a good way to have both, and it is more convenient to take him with you.

"The old guys in your company are counting the days and looking forward to your death. If they knew about this, they would definitely not let him go. It would be much easier to change it to a little lover, so that he has a legitimate reason to stay by your side. The reason will not arouse suspicion.”

Lu Shang seriously considered his proposal.

"But taking care of minors is a sin..."

Lu Shang remembered something: "How old is he?"

"From the perspective of bone age, he looks like fifteen or sixteen years old, but he has been malnourished for a long time and his development is delayed. His actual age should be a little older... at most seventeen years old."

"What about the injury, how long will it take to heal?"

Liang Zirui gave a "three" and said: "It hurts for a hundred days, I recommend hospitalization until the end of the month, now you are his financial master, you have the final say, I will not interfere, but I still have to remind You, he's undernourished, the leg injury isn't healing as well as it looks, don't move around for long periods of time for a month."
