Ye Ming was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, because the curtains were drawn down, making the room very dark.
Jiang Ci walked over slowly, lowered his head and stared at the person on the bed, and gently reached out and touched Ye Ming's cheek.
The man lost a lot of weight, his eyelashes cast light shadows under his eyes, and his lips were pale. Jiang Ci suddenly wanted to ask him, what kind of hatred do you have with my father...
Jiang Ci had never thought about this issue before, putting aside the vague and painful memories of his childhood that were almost forgotten by him... Ye Ming had never shown such a hateful side in front of him, he was like a very ordinary person Like a father, he loves and raises his children, and gradually he only remembers the good side of him, and he healed those pains with tenderness.
It was also those years of getting along that made him give all his feelings to this person and sincerely regard him as his favorite person.
So when Ye Ming abandoned him, when the bloody reality was in front of him, he collapsed to the point that he couldn't accept it. It turned out that this was the person who took him away from his own father. This person was like a demon who showed him With the face of an angel... Pian Sheng finally abandoned him ruthlessly.
There was a constant struggle in his heart, thinking about him and hating him at the same time.
He couldn't understand why.
But now, as soon as Jiang Ci closed his eyes, what he remembered was Ye Ming's hatred and despairing eyes yesterday, what the doctor said, and those memories that he had forgotten and sealed.
What happened back then that could make a person so desperate
Why on earth did you steal me? Why did you keep me even though you hated it...
Jiang Ci wanted to ask directly, but when he moved his lips, he found that he was speechless as if he had lost his voice... There seemed to be a voice in his heart telling him, don't ask, you can't bear the answer.
You can't afford it.
Ye Ming slept very lightly, and vaguely felt that someone was there. He opened his eyes hazy and saw Jiang Ci standing in front of him. His handsome face and dark eyes contained indescribable complexities. color.
Since waking up today, Jiang Ci's actions have revealed strange tastes everywhere, but Ye Ming didn't think that Jiang Ci planned to let him go.
Jiang Ci looked at Ye Ming absentmindedly. Just when he was about to retreat, a voice in his heart shouted again: Ask, ask, do you still want to deceive yourself for the rest of your life? You can't go on like this.
No matter how cruel the truth is, it will eventually have to be faced one day.
Finally, the voice suppressed the cowardly self who was trying to escape, and his heart gradually became firm.
Jiang Ci opened his mouth slightly, his throat hard. He asked, "Why did you... why did you steal me?"
Ye Ming was startled, as if he didn't expect Jiang Ci to ask this question suddenly, he lowered his eyes and said indifferently, "No reason."
If he wanted to say it, he said it at the beginning, instead of leaving without saying goodbye, no matter what the child becomes, it is not an excuse for him to continue to hurt and use him.
Jiang Ci squeezed his fist and looked at him deeply: "How could there be no reason? Or... you just don't want to tell me."
Ye Ming closed his eyes and ignored what he meant.
Jiang Ci stood there, his eyes darkened.
It's okay if you don't want to tell me... even if you don't, I'll figure it out.
…
Since that day, Jiang Ci has left Ye Ming alone at home except when he is eating, and he has never touched him again. Ye Ming's mood seems to have calmed down a lot, but he is still taciturn.
Jiang Ci began to ask his subordinates to re-investigate the events of the year, inquiring about the incident and the records of the case file, but there was no progress. Everything was the same as the investigation of the year.
There was a lot of commotion at the time, and it was clear what happened.
Twenty-four years ago, it was the driver Zheng Shan who drove his father's car to pick him up. On the way back, he accidentally hit and killed Chen Zhao's wife. Zheng Shan was a close friend of his father's side, and the accident happened while helping him with errands. , so his father helped him pay for the compensation, and the case was closed.
But later, for some unknown reason, Chen Zhao seemed to think that his father was involved in this incident. After seeing his father once, he suddenly changed his attitude and tried to murder his father, and lost his job because of this incident. Later, he stole it from the hospital. Oneself, this world evaporates.
Jiang Ci had asked his father about this at the beginning, and his father told him that because the vehicle that caused the accident was his car, Chen Zhao always suspected that the accident was related to him. A certain degree of verbal humiliation, so Chen Zhao holds a grudge against him.
Is the accident related to Jiang Sheng? Jiang Ci was suspicious, but all the evidence showed that it was the vehicle driven by Zheng Shan at the time, and Jiang Sheng had an obvious alibi that this matter had nothing to do with him from beginning to end.
Re-investigating things didn't change anything either.
Jiang Ci had a ridiculous guess in his heart, but he couldn't convict a person for guessing, and Ye Ming didn't want to say anything...
Jiang Ci pressed his forehead, his eyes darkened, and finally decided to visit Zheng Shan.
Zheng Shan is Jiang Sheng's henchman. He has worked by his side for many years, until he retired to take care of his grandson a year ago. Jiang Sheng is very generous to him, so even if he retires, Zheng Shan has lived a very prosperous life.
He lives in his son's house in a neighboring province all the year round. He happened to be walking in the park this day, and was very surprised to see Jiang Ci coming.
After Jiang Ci returned to Zheng's house, Zheng Shan treated him very well, but because Zheng Shan was the murderer who killed Chen Zhao's wife, Jiang Ci was not close to him. Zheng Shan knew that Jiang Ci didn't like him, and later He didn't get close to him very much, and even gradually avoided meeting him.
Jiang Ci gave him a complicated look and said in a low voice, "Uncle Zheng, I'm here to ask you something."
Zheng Shan said respectfully: "If you have anything to do, just ask."
Jiang Ci said: "It was the person you hit with your car back then, but why didn't Chen Zhao come to trouble you, but to trouble my father? It doesn't make sense."
Zheng Shan's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "How does the young master know that he didn't trouble me? He also looked for me at the beginning, but later he found out that there was no benefit from me, so he turned his attention to President Jiang. , Does the young master still think about that person? Think about it, what kind of good person can a person who can steal a child and abuse a child? Don't be fooled by him and make President Jiang and his wife sad. "
Jiang Ci's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "I can tell what kind of person he is, but Uncle Zheng, you don't seem to feel any guilt when you hit someone to death. Others can say that, but it's probably inappropriate for you to say that."
Zheng Shan's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his head and said, "It's me or not... But he took the money and did something like that. It's because he was an unrighteous person."
Jiang Ci looked at him. The man was respectful but his words were not leaking. It was impossible for him to get a real answer from him. Jiang Ci paused and said, "Excuse me."
Zheng Shan didn't hold back. He looked at Jiang Ci's leaving back, and immediately made a phone call when he got home, with a solemn expression: "Mr. Jiang, the young master came to see me today."
"Yes, he asked about Chen Zhao again, and his expression didn't look right. He seemed to be still haunted by what happened at the beginning, and wondered if it was me who bumped into it."
"I think... he might have met Chen Zhao."
"Yes, I know what to do... You can rest assured, and he can't find anything."
…
When Jiang Ci rushed back at night, it was already very late. In fact, he should have gone directly to Jiang's house. He didn't accidentally receive a call from Jiang Sheng on the way, telling him to let him go home, but he still wanted to see Ye first. Ming.
Jiang Ci pushed open the door and looked at the man who was already asleep, his eyes were nostalgic and complicated.
I'll figure it all out soon...
Jiang Ci didn't stop there, but went straight back to Jiang's house.
Although it was already twelve o'clock in the evening, Jiang Sheng was still waiting for him in the study, and he was taken to him directly.
Jiang Sheng was sitting in front of the desk. Although he was over fifty years old, he was still handsome and calm, with a majesty that could not be ignored. With deep eyes, he said to Jiang Ci, "Sit down."
Jiang Ci sat down respectfully in front of him.
Jiang Sheng stared at his son. Although he always thought he was a cold enough person, he still admired and loved this child, and paid enough affection, because this was the child born to him by the woman he loved the most. It is the crystallization of their love.
The disappearance of this child once brought his family to the brink of collapse. From this point of view, Jiang Sheng had to admit that Chen Zhao's revenge was effective.
Although his wife didn't know the truth, she was still dissatisfied and disappointed with him because of this incident, believing that his indifference led to such consequences. It must be said that the kind and innocent woman had a keen sixth sense.
Sixteen years later, he and his wife had completely given up hope, but at this time, someone called to tell him Jiang Ci's whereabouts.
In the past ten years, countless people have made similar calls to him for the high reward. At first, he was full of expectations, but gradually there was only disappointment and boredom, and there was no hope... There were only countless liars who kept going for money, They even dared to defraud him of his money!
Although he didn't quite believe it that time, Jiang Sheng still sent someone out of caution. Who knows this time, it's true.
At that time, he and his wife were so happy, happy that the child was lost and found, but soon a new blow came. The child regarded Chen Zhao as his father, and did not get close to them at all, and tried to escape many times.
Jiang Sheng was furious at the time. If it wasn't for his wife to stop him, he might have done something he regretted until he calmed down and began to plan and reverse Jiang Ci's thoughts. It cannot be erased easily.
Fortunately, there is still a wife. It was her mother's love that finally moved Jiang Ci and brought the son back to their arms.
Eight years later, Jiang Ci no longer mentioned Chen Zhao. He gradually came out of the past and became his excellent heir.
It's something he's proud of.
Even though Jiang Sheng is an indifferent and selfish person, he has put a lot of effort into this son, and out of guilt, he has always been very doting and tolerant towards him.
But there was only one thing he couldn't tolerate - that was Chen Zhao.
Jiang Sheng said in a deep voice, "You haven't been home for a long time. Your mother misses you very much."
Jiang Ci said: "I'm sorry, I've been too busy during this time, I'll try my best to make time to come back."
Jiang Sheng put his hands on his stomach and looked at him with cold eyes, "Really? I heard that you went to see Zheng Shan today, why? You still can't let go of that person?"
Jiang Ci showed an unexpected and angry expression, pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Zheng told you? I just had a few words with him, and he is going to complain to you?"
Jiang Sheng heard anger in his eyes, and shouted, "What the hell are you thinking! Tell me! Have you seen Chen Zhao?"
There was a panicked look in Jiang Ci's eyes, but he said stubbornly: "No, I just suddenly remembered the past, so I just wanted to ask Uncle Zheng, there is no other meaning..."
Jiang Sheng noticed the rapid change in Jiang Ci's expression, and his chest heaved with anger. Does this stinky boy still want to lie to him? After so many years, it is obvious that I no longer mention that person, how could I suddenly think of it? Thinking again that he hasn't been home for a while, I'm afraid he's not busy with any work, right? He had neglected himself.
Jiang Sheng said coldly: "Can't you feel how I treat you and how your mother treats you? If you still do irrational things for that criminal, it will only disappoint us, think about it yourself. "
Jiang Ci struggled, and finally nodded: "I see."
He seemed a little absent-minded, and his expression remained silent when he left.
Until he left Jiang Sheng's study and returned to his bedroom, Jiang Ci's expression was no longer the flustered and angry look just now, but rather cold and serious.
His fingers in the pockets of his trousers rubbed slightly, remembering the bug that he had just left in Jiang Sheng's office, his eyes darkened.
He was very aware of Zheng Shan's loyalty to his father, and he never expected to get useful information from him. The reason why he went to see Zheng Shan was to let Jiang Sheng know that he had begun to pay attention to this matter again. With Jiang Sheng's suspicion and cleanliness A neat method cannot be left unchecked, and there will be some action.
Now that you know that Chen Zhao is back, what will you do
What kind of grievance did you have in the first place
If I can't find anything, I can listen to you.
Jiang Ci stayed at home for a few days, and went out to eat and shop with Mrs. Jiang, which made her feel a little happier, and then said that she was going on a business trip for a few days.
…
Jiang Ci had someone secretly transferred Ye Ming before returning home. Their former home was not a secret. Jiang Sheng could easily think of it. It was not safe, and Jiang Ci could not take risks.
Now Ye Ming is taken care of by his people and lives in a villa.
When Jiang Ci rushed back, Ye Ming sat alone in the living room in a daze, and when he saw him coming back, his expression was as cold as ever, as if he was a stranger.
In fact, his heart is like this.
[Ye Ming: I miss my good son 嘤嘤嘤, he finally came back.]
[888:…]
[Ye Ming: What should he do when he knows the truth soon, I feel bad for QAQ]
[888: ... ] I'll wipe it.
Jiang Ci walked over and looked at Ye Ming, but pursed his lips and said nothing. He found that they had always been so speechless since I do not know when.
When Jiang Ci was away, he asked Dr. Zhang to come and visit Ye Ming several times. Dr. Zhang suggested that Jiang Ci could let Ye Ming go and let someone more acceptable to him take care of him, which would be more helpful to Ye Ming's recovery.
This answer made Jiang Ci very difficult to choose.
He knew that he should let go, regardless of whether Ye Ming had any grudges with his father, since he couldn't continue to hurt him or have him, he should let go... But as long as he thinks of this, he feels a piercing pain. .
As if to relive the original despair.
In the evening, Jiang Ci went to see Ye Ming while he was asleep, and was a little lost.
He knew that Li Xu'an had never given up inquiring about Ye Ming's whereabouts, and he must be happy to take care of him instead of himself, but... I haven't figured out everything... It's going to end like this.
I'm really unwilling, but other than that, what else can I do
Jiang Ci stood up with difficulty. When he was about to leave, he found that Ye Ming seemed to be dreaming. He grabbed his hand and made a vague voice: "Xiao Ci..."
Jiang Ci's lips trembled, and there was a look of nostalgia and pain in his eyes. He hadn't heard Ye Ming call him like this for so many years... He even thought that he would never hear this person call him like this again in his life.
He remembered many years ago... All the beautiful scenes when they were together, but the separation finally cast a shadow over all the good things, and it became twisted and ugly, and it will never be the same again.
But who knows... how much I miss all that
I really miss you.
[Ding, Jiang Ci's blackening value is -10, the current blackening value is 20]
Jiang Ci held Ye Ming's hand with his backhand, his eyes were full of sorrow and grief, why... are you not my real father? Why are you leaving? Why... things got to be like this...
I don't want to leave you, but if my staying by your side can only bring despair to each other, then maybe it's time to let go...
Jiang Ci lowered his head and gently kissed Ye Ming's forehead.
At this moment, a voice came from the earphone, so clear in the silent night.
First the sound of opening and closing the door, then the sound of someone sitting down on a chair, then the sound of speaking.
Jiang Ci was familiar with this voice, one was his father Jiang Sheng and the other was Zheng Shan.
Jiang Sheng's voice was cold and murderous: "Have you found Chen Zhao's whereabouts yet?"
Zheng Shan said: "I have arranged for someone to go, but I haven't found it yet. It seems that the young master has hidden him well. Maybe he has expected it, so he deliberately hides it from you."
Jiang Sheng was instantly furious: "His wings are hard, and he dares to violate the yin and the yang!"
Zheng Shan respectfully advised: "Don't be angry, after all, he has been raised by Chen Zhao for 16 years, and it is normal to have feelings, which shows that he is not a merciless person. This matter should be taken slowly, and there is no rush."
Jiang Sheng stood up and walked a few steps. He said, "In the final analysis, it's all Chen Zhao's fault. I should have killed him in the first place!"
Zheng Shan sighed: "You didn't expect that an honest and honest person would do such a crazy thing... I didn't expect it at all at the beginning."
Jiang Sheng was still resentful, his voice was gloomy: "Isn't he a poor doctor, I gave him money, what else does he want? Do you really want me to pay for his wife and children? How valuable is his wife's life?! Really no Do it yourself!"
Zheng Shan is not easy to answer this, but Nuonuo said: "We didn't think that how could he know that it was you who hit him, it is logically impossible..."
Jiang Sheng felt regretful when he thought of this. He was young and aggressive and acted ruthlessly. He didn't know how to stay on the line, and he didn't take Chen Zhao seriously, so he confessed in front of him... If he had known earlier, he should have pretended. Good consolation to Chen Zhao to send him away, instead of arrogantly admitting and humiliating him, and finally throwing stones at him, otherwise Chen Zhao would not be desperate enough to take risks and steal his child.
Putting it on today, he would not make such a low-level mistake, either to stay in the front line, or to kill them all, rather than let this person carelessly.
He made a mistake at the beginning, and that person came to get revenge on him.
This mistake must be made up! Chen Zhao must not be allowed to confuse his son again!
Jiang Sheng's voice carried a bone-chilling chill, and he said slowly: "He just knew what to do, he couldn't do anything to me back then, and he can't do it now! As long as he dies, this matter will be completely over, and Jiang Ci will not. If he will disobey me again for him, he should have died a long time ago!"
Zheng Shan's voice froze: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Sheng said word by word: "Find him and kill him!"
