Chapter 37 Passive Choice
"You used to like brother Xiaohan the most, and you still want to be a child bride."
"Only Brother Xiaohan is the best, always encouraging you."
"Don't you remember? I thought you were already together."
.........
During the two or three seconds when the mind was blank, these words kept flashing back in Meng Yi's mind like a boomerang, and the word "cold" was stuck in his throat like swimming cotton, but it was always covered in Meng Yi's eyes. The layers of fog are quietly dissipating.
Brother Xiaohan, Fu Juehan...
Is it really just that there are cold characters in the names?
How can it be so coincidental?
Meng Yi opened his eyes in a daze, and suddenly realized that the "coincidence" was more than just this one.
Fu Juehan was blatantly indulgent when he first met the car, and Fu Juehan made an exception to save him when he encountered a quarrel again. He knew that he could not touch cold wine in winter. He was a friend that Meng Xiang could trust with all his heart. He knew everything about himself. He even knew a little kid who had trouble urinating...
A chill wrapped in hot flashes penetrated from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. Shock, doubt, surprise, and excitement, all kinds of emotions mingled into a cluster of flames, which ignited in his head with a "boom".
The blurred outline of the young man in his memory suddenly showed a familiar face. Standing stiffly in front of him, Meng Yi realized that it was the 14-year-old Fu Juehan.
"Brother Xiaohan, Fu Juehan..." Did they really know each other since childhood?
A few words rolled down his throat, and Meng Yiyi couldn't stop his hands and feet from numbness. He rubbed his face several times before he managed to calm down.
While cursing inwardly that his conjecture was so absurd and outrageous, he realized that only in this way can he explain everything.
"Mom," Meng Yi took a deep breath and held Tao Ya's hand, "Brother Xiaohan you mentioned, what's his full name?"
Tao Ya looked at him strangely, "Why have you become a fool, why didn't he just call——"
With a "bang", the door was suddenly knocked open, and Meng Qingshu hurried in with Wilkin, "Xiaoya, get out of bed!"
Both of them were startled, Meng Yi hurriedly helped Tao Ya up, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my mother's body again?"
Before Wilkin could speak, the assistant took the first step: "There is a problem with one of the blood routines of the wife, and it must be re-examined immediately!"
Hearing this, Meng Yi's whole heart was suspended, and he couldn't care about Fu Juehan anymore, so he rushed to the hospital with his mother anxiously.
"Hey! I didn't take my mobile phone!"
When he walked to the door, he felt that his pocket was empty. He was afraid that he would not be able to answer Fu Juehan's call, so he anxiously turned back to look for it.
Wilkin's assistant raised his hand and said with a smile, "Is this the one? Let me hold it for the young master."
Meng glanced at him, relieved: "Thank you."
At the same time, the Qi family.
The villa was turned upside down from the inside to the outside. All the servants and bodyguards were waiting in the garden in front of the court, with their heads bowed, in fear.
Qi Han took a sharp Swiss Army knife and slammed it on the table three times, "Stop!"
A sudden word, like a heavy punch in the dark, made everyone present tremble violently.
"Back back," he pointed at the dining car pushed by Xiao Liu in the monitoring screen with the tip of his knife, and ordered, "Go find this car." He looked at the date in the lower right corner.
"A week ago, it turned out that he ran away a week ago."
He sneered, remembering that night Fu Ge tried every means to curry favor with him, he was so gentle and docile to the extreme, and before going to bed, he held his hand and said that he wanted to go to the art exhibition together next month.
At that time, he was happy with the man all night, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep like a fool. He thought that Fu Ge had finally figured it out after so many years of trouble, so he sent someone to "invite" Wilkin to Tao Yazhi. sick.
Unexpectedly, all of this was planned by Fu Ge long ago. The lover who had been lingering on his bed all night, left forever the next day without a trace of nostalgia.
"Xiao Ge." Qi Han stabbed the tip of the knife into the table, and raised the corner of his mouth sullenly: "You have to run faster, don't be caught by me."
The bodyguards found the dining car at the rear mountain pass. In addition to tableware, rotten steaks, and a tightly wrapped USB flash drive inside.
Qi Han inserted the USB flash drive into the computer. After opening it, there were more than a dozen compressed packages marked with the year and a short video. He casually clicked on a few recent ones, and exited after only one glance.
After clicking on the video, Fu Ge was curling up on the sofa with the cat in his arms, not even looking at him, "How about Brother Qi, are you satisfied with these things? This is the result of several years of hard work by Ah Jue and I, I don't know Can you buy our freedom for the rest of our lives?"
There is also a line at the end of the video: [Let us go, or someone will take these things to help you surrender after 72 hours. 】
"Oh shit!"
He got up and kicked over the table, and threw the saber straight into the drawing board in the center of the living room, and a big hole was burst in the field of bright red hot roses, as if mocking his stupid red lips.
"Have you found out where Fu Juehan is yet?" Qi Han said coldly, without a trace of emotion.
The bodyguard shuddered, and handed him the marked map, "On the first day Mr. Xiao disappeared, the young master spent the whole day looking at the river. The next day he started to travel frequently. He went to four places in total. They are all provincial capitals, and we guess that Mr. Xiao is hidden in one of these provincial capitals."
"What about yesterday?" he asked.
The bodyguard was stunned for a moment, "Yesterday, the young master was fine. He was at home in the morning, went to the boxing gym in the afternoon, and took the last flight out of the country this morning. The itinerary was scheduled a month ago."
Qi Han turned his watch, "Fu Ge's qualifications to leave the country are controlled by me, and he cannot leave the country. It is impossible for Fu Juehan to hide him abroad."
The bodyguard nodded: "Yes, that's why we focus on the four provincial capitals that the young master has been to. Ninety percent of them have been dispatched to investigate, but the scope is too large, and we urgently need new clues."
"Going abroad..." Qi Han frowned thoughtfully: "Did anyone see him board the plane? Did anyone see him land? If Fu Ge still stayed in the country, he couldn't leave early by himself. "
The bodyguard asked: "You mean, the young master smuggled Mr. Xiao out?"
"Or he didn't get on the plane at all," Qi Han said.
"Ding--"
The phone screen lit up, Qi Han looked down, and there was only a text message: [Sir, Meng Yi and Fu Juehan are on the phone, are you ready to locate? 】
He chuckled, "Here comes the clue."
"Little ancestor, are you finally willing to take care of me?" Fu Juehan's voice sounded a bit dull, with the loneliness of being neglected.
Meng Yi's heart felt like being shocked by an electric shock, and it didn't show up when he was busy, but now when he heard his voice, it was like a river opened the gates, missing him for days, concealing his guilt, and vaguely knowing that he was Brother Xiaohan The palpitations and disappointment came rushing to my heart.
"Fu Juehan," he rubbed against the back of the sofa, resting his forehead on the phone, "I haven't seen you for a day, I miss you so much, and you didn't answer the call this afternoon."
How could he be willing to blame him anymore, Fu Juehan sighed, and his voice was soft and gentle: "The signal here is not very good, the phone can't come in, I'll send someone to pick you up, okay, come to me."
"No! No need!"
After blurting out the words of refusal, he realized that he had overreacted. Meng Yi squeezed his palms, and quickly began to make amends: "I can't go back now, my mother's illness has improved, and I have to stay at home with her for a few days."
"Turn around?" Fu Juehan was also a little excited, "Did the doctor think of a new treatment? Or did the aunt recover on her own?"
"Neither..." Meng Yi blinked, his nails digging into his flesh, "It's Uncle, Dr. Wilkin is here."
I'm sorry Fu Juehan, my mother's illness really can't make any mistakes...
"That's great. Wilkin is the world's authority on brain science. If he is willing to come out of the mountain, he will definitely be able to cure Aunt Tao."
Fu Juehan originally wanted to send bodyguards to bring Meng Yi to his side to prevent Qi Han from hurting him in a panic, but now it seems that staying at Meng's house is a better choice. Meng wants to have enough ability to protect him from harm. implicated.
"Fu Juehan," Meng Yi said after being quiet for a while, and suddenly said in a sullen voice, "I asked you before if we knew each other before, but you never answered me properly."
Fu Juehan laughed, and he could think of Meng Yi's current appearance through the mobile phone. He must have lowered his head, pouted his mouth, sullen, like a puppy being fooled by his master.
"Remember what?"
Meng Yi said: "No, it was my mother who suddenly mentioned it today, but I was pushed to check before I had time to ask her, but I think it's the same to ask you."
He took a deep breath and said word by word: "Fu Juehan, Brother Han, tell me, who are you?"
In the quiet night, his voice was like pear blossoms shaking the treetops.
Fu Juehan lowered his eyebrows, listened to his faint breathing, squeezed his heart thousands of times, and finally said: "Xiaobao, not all reunions after a long absence will make you happy, nor will it be for you to remember everything. It's the best, I did have the urge to tell you the past events countless times in exchange for your dependence and trust, but I couldn't help but think..."
He paused, looked out the window and smiled helplessly, "Let my child recall the nightmare of that year again, even if it's just an ending, I can't bear it, I can't bear it at all."
"So Xiaobao, let's let nature take its course, let's forget about the past, and I will give you more and better futures."
After the words fell, the other side was quiet for a long time, and only a few small choked sobs came out. Fu Juehan frowned: "What's wrong? Are you crying?"
"No, I didn't cry."
Knowing that he couldn't see it, Meng Yi still shook his head guiltily, buried his face in the sofa, the more he was moved by Fu Juehan's full of love, the more deeply he was tortured by guilt.
But he still didn't say anything about Qi Han in the end, because the fear that that man left him was too deep.
Knowing that he didn't have the ability to deceive the world, and knew that the other party definitely had the ability to make Wilkin leave or disappear, Meng Yi didn't dare to gamble with Tao Ya's second half of his life, so he could only deceive Fu Juehan again, even though he knew it was His deepest abhorrence.
"Brother Han, are you at home?" He wiped his eyes and straightened his clothes. "How about our video? I want to see you."
He was really uneasy, and desperately needed to gain some sense of security from Fu Juehan.
"Video is not good, it's too dark here, I can't see clearly." Fu Juehan said.
Meng Yi's brows drooped, like a puppy who was refused to go out by the owner, "...Oh, I see."
Fu Juehan hooked the corner of his lower lip helplessly, "Poor little boy, can't you just be so wronged by the video?"
Meng Yi pursed his lips, "I'm not wronged, are you busy?"
"Are you acting like a baby again?" Fu Juehan seemed to get up and walked out, Meng Yi heard the cricket's voice, "I seem to have heard a bug calling, where are you?"
"Countryside." Fu Juehan picked a pear, wiped it casually with his sleeve, took a bite into the receiver, and listened to the sound of the juice splashing, "Invested a few acres of pear orchards to grow pears for you to eat."
Meng Yiguang was a little greedy when he heard the voice, "You said that I really want to drink pear juice, I'm going to pour a cup."
As he spoke, he got up from the sofa, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a tall figure standing against the wall by the door, staring straight at him for an unknown amount of time.
"Fuck—"
As soon as Meng Yi's legs gave way, he fell down. Seeing a figure walking towards him, he raised his head and saw that it was Qi Han.
"Xiaobao, Xiaobao? What's wrong with you? What happened?"
Meng Yi clutched the receiver tightly, watched Qi Han take two deep breaths, and managed to calm down, "It's okay, my mother called me suddenly, I have to go there right away, hang up first."
After hanging up the phone, he stared at him sullenly, "I don't know that Mr. Qi has a habit of eavesdropping."
"Son, you didn't close the door yourself. You screamed in fright when I came in." He laughed again, looking inexplicably weird against the dim night light, "Are you talking on the phone with Ah Jue?"
Meng Yi got up and left, "It's none of your business."
Qi Han gave a "tsk", "You are really the same as Ah Jue when you were a child. You just put it on your face when you hate someone, and you won't hide it at all."
Meng Yi stopped, turned around and questioned him: "Mr. Qi doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, why come and play with me a scene of fatherly kindness and sonly filial piety."
Qi Han shrugged, "This is wronging me. They are the ones who are kind to father and filial to son. I have never been involved. If it wasn't for Xiaoge who couldn't contact him, I'm really worried. I wouldn't come here in person at night." ask you."
Meng Yi blinked suspiciously, and the hostility subsided a bit, "Uncle Fu can't contact him?"
"Well, it's almost 24 hours, and the phone has been disconnected, and he is about to call the police."
Suspicion flashed across Meng's eyes, "You would be so kind as to help Uncle Fu find his son? I'm afraid that Fu Juehan disappearing forever would be the most suitable for you."
"Where is this? After all, I watched and grew up, I—"
"Jingle Bell."
The voice was interrupted by a series of rapid ringtones, and Qi Han answered the phone in front of him, "Xiao Ge, I'm still asking, but Meng Yi doesn't seem to know, don't worry, I'm already sending someone to look for it." He may have gone on a business trip and didn't look at his phone."
There were two faint sobbing sounds from the receiver, and Qi Han immediately coaxed in a low voice: "Okay, don't cry, blame me, I won't punish him next time, don't cry, don't cry..."
"Okay, I know." Meng Yi picked at the palm of his hand, and couldn't bear to make Uncle Fu anxious, so he just said: "He is in the country, the signal is not very good, he can't get in, nothing happened, just let Uncle Fu rest assured .”
"Oh, it's in the countryside..." Qi Han raised his eyelids and raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, "Thank you, kid."
Before the phone was hung up, the cold light from the screen hit one side of the face, making one's spine numb.
Meng Yi rubbed his arms, "I'm going back to my room, Mr. Qi please go back too."
"Wait, help me say something to Ah Jue."
Meng Yi curled his lips, "What are you talking about?"
Qi Han didn't know why he seemed to be in a good mood, so he straightened his tie before speaking, "It's cold in the countryside, let him take care of himself and avoid accidents."
"That's all?"
"Otherwise? What do you think I'm going to say?" Qi Han suddenly raised his voice: "Tell me where he is, and I'll save your mother. Is that so?"
"Huh?" Meng Yi was puzzled, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Qi Han turned and left, "Just kidding you."
The lights in the corridor were not turned on, and he quietly melted into the darkness again, a text message popped up on the screen, Qi Han turned off the recording, and clicked in to check.
【Sir, the young master really didn't go abroad, nor was he in any of the four provincial capitals. The phone was located in Dongcheng, but we haven't found the exact location yet. 】
After tapping a few times with his fingers, he replied: [Countryside, where there are pear trees. 】
The author says:
Brother Han said that cheating is not allowed, but the child who has liked for so many years is different from others.
But no matter how different it is, it can't stand Xiaobao making too many mistakes. Regardless of whether he intends to or not, things will develop towards that ending.
