Raised the wolf cub again

After the lightning and thunder, the world once again fell into boundless darkness.

The only tea room with lights on was so quiet that only the sound of rain remained.

Xiu Ze stepped up the steps, took off the windbreaker hat, and walked in slowly step by step.

"What did you... just say?" Shen Heng's gaze moved with Xiu Ze, and he didn't ask until Xiu Ze approached, with an unbelievable tone.

Xiu Ze stopped in front of the sofa, bent slightly, and picked up the document bag that Shen Heng had just casually dropped on the coffee table.He slowly opened the file bag, took out the contents, and threw it away.

The stack of documents scattered on the ground was all blank paper.

Shen Heng's face became ugly.

Xiu Ze casually pulled a mahogany chair and sat down in front of Shen Heng, leaned back on the backrest, and raised one leg leisurely.

"That's right, you are my own father, you know me, and I also know you."

The father and son sat facing each other, Xiu Ze's voice was a little lazy and casual, as if he was really chatting with his family after dinner, but every word he said made Shen Heng's face even more ugly.

"You are scheming, thoughtful, and good at guessing others. This is an advantage, but sometimes, advantages can also become disadvantages."

"I went to California to shoot, and my whereabouts were deliberately exposed to you. The people I placed next to you deliberately let you know, including today's scene of opening the safe to catch you. You see."

When Xiu Ze said this, the man who was tied up on the ground did not know what method he used, but he untied the rope and stood up from the ground, walked silently to Xiu Ze's left rear and stood there.

"You are too proud and think you are omnipotent, so..." Xiu Ze paused at this point, "So after I transferred the real file, I created an illusion for you, making you think that everything is still in your Under control."

"Originally, I wanted you to breathe free air for a few more days." Xiuze put down his long legs, leaned forward, and emphasized the following words, but a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Unexpectedly, you Can't wait to get in."

However, Shen Heng suddenly applauded, and said with a sneer: "As expected of my son, Shen Heng, this appearance is indeed beyond my expectation."

Qiao Yue had recovered at this time, and kept looking at Xiu Ze with worried eyes. Xiu Ze turned his head and gave him a reassuring look, then picked up the teacup on the table, and poured himself a cup of tea leisurely.

"But, son, do you think I have only one plan?"

Xiu Ze paused his hands as he was about to drink tea.

Shen Heng ordered the bodyguard: "Go and invite our guests over."

About 2 minutes later, two bodyguards escorted a handsome man in white.

It was Ning Feng.

Qiao Yue was so shocked that his breath slowed down, Xiu Ze showed no emotion on his face, but he probably didn't expect that Shen Heng would also kidnap Ning Feng.

Ning Feng was not injured, so he should not have been abused. He was clean and tidy even in white clothes, but his face was a little pale.He was pushed on the chair by the bodyguard, smiled helplessly at Xiu Ze, shook his head, and said nothing.

The corners of Xiu Ze's lips curled into a contemptuous arc, and he said disdainfully, "Threatening me with a hostage is such a vulgar way."

"It doesn't matter whether the method is simple or vulgar, as long as it works well, doesn't it?"

Shen Heng continued: "Son, I admit that you are better than blue. You are cruel to yourself, but you retain kindness to outsiders. This is your fatal shortcoming."

"Shortcomings? Repaying kindness is just the basic principle of being a human being, and you..." Xiu Ze glanced at Shen Heng, before coming to a conclusion, "You don't have such a thing as a conscience."

Instead of being angry, Shen Heng smiled and said, "That's why I said, you are still too kind. You had fought for the right to make the decision just now, but because of your kindness, you had to hand over the right to make the decision back to me in the end."

"Tell me, what do you want?" The smile on Xiu Ze's face disappeared, his eyes were cold.

Shen Heng pointed with his chin, "There are three documents on the table over there, you sign them along the way, and I will let you leave here."

Xiu Ze put his hand on the armrest and thought for a few seconds, then got up and walked over there, everyone's eyes followed his footsteps.

Just when his hand touched the signature pen on the table, the chair behind him hit something and made a loud noise, followed by Ning Feng shouting: "Xiu Ze don't sign! He's setting a trap for you! Go away!"

Ning Feng did not know when he broke free from the two bodyguards holding him behind him, and went behind Shen Heng. The fruit knife blade in his hand was sticking to Shen Heng's neck artery. More than a dozen bodyguards surrounded him and tried to go to Shen Heng. forward.

"Don't come here! Let them go!" Ning Feng said with force on his hands, the bodyguards dared not go any further.

"Uncle Ning, you..." Xiu Ze quickly pulled Qiao Yue's wrist, and then the two stopped.

Ning Feng yelled: "You go first! Go out and call the police first! Hurry up! Otherwise, no one will be able to leave! Hurry up!"

While hesitating, more than 20 bodyguards poured in outside the door and surrounded them.

On the other side, Ning Feng had already been restrained by Shen Heng, and was being held down by the bodyguards on the ground, unable to move, a trace of blood dripped from the corner of his lips.

Shen Heng threw the fruit knife stained with his own blood on the ground, wiped his hands with a paper towel, and said: "Admit it, whether it is 20 years ago or 20 years later, whether it is a healthy limb or a loss of both legs. Come on, you will never be my opponent."

Ning Feng said: "I only regret that I didn't cut it off just now."

Shen Heng stood up and stared at Ning Feng condescendingly, the coldness in his eyes made one shudder.

"The lesson of a pair of legs back then is not enough, I think you don't even want these hands anymore."

"Don't touch Uncle Ning." Xiu Ze stepped forward to protect Qiao Yue behind him.

Shen Heng said: "I can not move him, as long as you sign those three documents now."

"Are you going to let us go after signing?" Xiu Ze asked.

"Xiu Ze, don't sign and don't listen to him..." The bodyguard punched Ning Feng in the stomach, interrupting his words.

"That's right." Shen Heng said, "But you'd better hurry up, my patience is almost exhausted. I'll give you ten seconds, otherwise, not only Ning Feng, but also your sweetheart..."

Xiu Ze quickly picked up the signature pen, and three smooth and beautiful signatures appeared on the three documents. Before he could read the contents, the documents were taken away by the bodyguard.

"Let us go now." Xiu Ze said coldly.

Shen Heng looked at the signed document with a satisfied smile on his face, and then the smile disappeared from his face in an instant.

"It's so late now, and the rain is so heavy, it's hard to walk on the road."

Ning Feng on the ground struggled a bit, and cursed: "You despicable villain, you go back on your word!"

"Don't worry, I, Shen Heng, may be despicable, but I will do what I say. After dawn, I will let the three of you leave safely. As for now..." Shen Heng sat back on the sofa again, and glanced at Ning Feng on the ground, "I I want to have a good chat with this old friend of mine."

The bodyguard pushed Ning Feng back on the chair, and Shen Heng poured Ning Feng a glass of water thoughtfully.

If the bodyguards don't withdraw, they really can't leave.Seeing that Shen Heng would not touch Ning Feng again in a short time, Xiu Ze and Qiao Yue also found a sofa to sit down and wait for the dawn.

And this night is destined to be very long.

Shen Heng re-boiled a pot of tea, sipped it slowly and opened his mouth.

"Back then, before you went abroad, you sent the baby Xiuze to the orphanage and entrusted you to a friend named Ruan, right?"

Ning Feng immediately opened his eyes wide.

Shen Heng continued: "You are afraid that I will follow you to find Xiu Ze, so you haven't returned to China for 20 years. You send money to that Ruan account every year, but you never contact, so you don't know, that Ruan The woman died when Xiuze was 9 years old. After that, I am the one who manages the account."

Ning Feng's face became as white as paper, and he said tremblingly: "Who told you? When did you know? Five years ago? Ten years ago?"

"I knew it as early as 20 years ago." Shen Heng continued: "The reason why I pretended not to know was because I was fighting with the Mei family at that time, Xiu Ze was by my side, and I was not safe in the orphanage. .”

Ning Feng repeated in a low voice: "No wonder, no wonder Shen Huaiming died in a car accident, Mei's family went bankrupt, you took Xiu Ze back to Shen's house, no wonder..."

"I thought he would be safe in the orphanage, but unexpectedly, Mei Xinyu found out."

Shen Heng took a deep breath, suddenly accentuated his tone, and finished the rest of the sentence in one breath: "Ning Feng, you are abroad and you dare not come back and dare not contact the woman surnamed Ruan, so you don't know that she is dead, let alone know that she is dead What happened next!"

"I know she died of cancer, what happened after she passed away?" Ning Feng asked suspiciously.

"You can look at Xiuze's legs, the scars, cigarette burns, knife wounds, marks from high-heeled shoes, and wounds that haven't healed since they were sewn with needlework... It's common for boys to fight when they are young, but you can see Do those injuries look like they were caused by a fight?"

"He was abused in different ways for a day and a night, and he was almost dead from injuries all over his body."

"Ning Feng, at that time, he was only 9 years old."

"The person who abused him was Mei Xinyu."

Not only Ning Feng, but even Qiao Yue were too shocked to speak.

"Mei Xinyu...how...you know him..." Ning Feng's lips trembled for a long time before he could say a complete sentence.

"I'm going to ask you this, the self-proclaimed upright King Ning Ge."

The tone of the last three words was particularly strong. Ning Feng seemed to realize something, and his body trembled.

Shen Heng changed into a comfortable position before continuing: "When you collaborated with Mei Xinyu to design me back then, you knew that once Mei Xinyu became pregnant, I would definitely marry Mei Xinyu under the pressure of the Shen family and the Mei family. At that time, Qingyan will give up, and you will have a chance."

"That's right, you did marry Qingyan as you wished, but you didn't know that Mei Xinyu hated Qingyan to the bone, and you never imagined that Mei Xinyu would still murder her child many years after Qingyan's death."

"You did a good job defending against me, but you forgot to defend against Mei Xinyu."

The knuckles of Ning Feng's fingers on both sides turned white.

"Ning Feng, the medicine you gave me at that banquet was simply wrong. I passed out that night. Nothing happened to me and Mei Xinyu. Shen Huaiming was not my son at all, but Mei Xinyu I got married with some garbage dog from nowhere."

"Look, this is just a misunderstanding, a very small misunderstanding." Shen Heng smiled when he said this, his smile was suppressed, and the coldness in his eyes was shocking, "But because of this misunderstanding, I have devoted my whole life happiness as the price."

Ning Feng tightly grasped the armrest of the chair with both hands, so that his body did not fall off the chair.

Shen Heng got up, looked at the dark sky, at the maple forest under the downpour, his voice could not detect emotion,

"I have blood on my hands, and I finally stand on the pinnacle of power, and she will never come back. She will never smile at me in the red maple forest, never drink tea with me, never Will hold my arm and play tricks."

"We once agreed that after solving the family problems, we will go to Fengshan, North Island, and build a house in the most beautiful maple forest. We will go there to see the maple leaves on weekends and holidays."

"However, it is no longer possible."

"For so many years, no matter how much I miss her, even in a dream, she is unwilling to visit me."

The rain was very loud, one sound, one after another, hitting people's hearts.

"You all think that I am vicious and insane, planning to kill my son and drive my wife crazy, but who asks, why should I do this?"

"I stood on the top of Fengshan Mountain, and there was a cliff at my feet. What I thought in my heart at that time was that if I jumped from here, I could see Qingyan."

"But I can't do this. If I die, don't I let the person who designed us get away with it? I can't die, I want to bring down the Mei family."

"Xiu Ze is my only hope of living."

"Originally, I didn't want to touch Shen Huaiming, but who let Mei Xinyu touch my son. Anyway, my hands are already stained with blood, and a little more will be fine."

Shen Heng folded over from the window and sat back on the sofa.He glanced at Qiao Yue, Xiu Ze, and Ning Feng, and then looked at the night outside the window again, and continued talking.

"At that time, life was a darkness to me, and there was no more light. I wanted to explain, but she would never hear it again. This misunderstanding will never be resolved."

"I will never forget the last time we met. The way she looked at me, even thinking about it now, still hurts my heart."

"We once held hands, and we also said that we will die together. She died, but I didn't even see her for the last time."

"Long life, I can only live in pain and hatred that will never stop, without her, and without those joys."

Ning Feng didn't even have the last ounce of strength, he was paralyzed on the ground, half leaning on the leg of the chair.

Xiu Ze's hands were frighteningly cold, even though Qiao Yue held his hands in his palms to breathe for warmth, his hands were still cold.

Ever since Shen Heng mentioned the orphanage, Xiu Ze's thoughts were no longer here.

The nightmare from many years ago came to his mind.

On the night of Aunt Ruan's first seven days, he sneaked out after dinner to burn paper money for Aunt Ruan in the woods behind the orphanage.

Half of the paper money was burned, and he was kicked over with the paper money. A ferocious woman dragged him into a utility room and threw him on the ground.

"it's him?"

It was a woman sitting in the dark of the utility room who was talking. Before he could see clearly, his hair was pulled up, and he was slapped in the face one after another. His vision was black and his ears were buzzing. Only the voice of a woman could be heard. , saying something like "that bitch" "exactly the same".

He lay on the ground for a long time before his vision gradually became clear. He saw a light flashing in the dark room, it was a fruit knife.

He was scared, he begged for mercy, he said that I would never dare to burn paper money again, but the knife was still approaching him.It was useless to beg for mercy, he began to struggle violently, and during the struggle, a fruit knife cut a big cut in his leg.Kicked in the stomach and then more wounds elsewhere.

The two didn't know what they said, and instead of scratching his face, they started a long abuse.Cigarette butts, knives, high heels... some he can tell, some he can't.

He didn't know how long this process lasted. After that, he couldn't even utter the words to beg for mercy. He just felt so painful that his whole body hurt.

The room was very dark, and he couldn't see the faces of the two women clearly. He didn't know if they were aunts from the orphanage, and he didn't know what he did wrong?Why were you beaten?

Because the orphanage can't burn paper money, if he burns it, will he be punched and kicked?But he begged for mercy, he admitted his mistake, why didn't these two people stop?

In the end, the two women were probably tired, so they opened the door and went out. He was left in the small dark room for two days and two nights.

Only Auntie Ruan treated him well in the orphanage, and when Auntie Ruan died, no one cared about him.

In the end, the warehouse manager came here to get things and found him and rescued him.

A few hours later, the doctor said, he might have died.

Tonight, Shen Heng's words shocked Qiao Yue again and again. Now that he has calmed down, his heart felt like he was being weighed down by a heavy weight, and he couldn't breathe.

It turned out that Xiu Ze had been lightly saying that those injuries were caused by fighting, but they were abused by others.

He didn't dare to imagine how terrified he was when Xiu Ze, who had just lost his closest aunt Ruan, was pulled by his hair, slapped, abused, and lying on the ground covered in wounds.

How could such a vicious person do such a cruel thing to a 9-year-old child?

It turned out that Shen Heng dealt with the Mei family because of Luo Qingyan, who broke Ning Feng's legs, because Ning Feng and Mei Xinyu once plotted against him, and he planned to kill Shen Huaiming because Mei Xinyu had abused the 9-year-old Xiu Ze.

It turned out that King Ning Ge, who was elegant and spotless in white clothes, once broke up others for his own selfishness.

Shen Heng has done so many evil deeds, and the law is clear, and now his own son has turned against him, and Ning Feng has caused others to lose their love forever, and because of this, he paid the price with his legs.

Qiao Yue couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong, and who was right and wrong, just like good people do bad things, and bad people do good things. Right and wrong are hard to judge.

The east is showing a white belly, the darkness is gradually disappearing, and the sky is about to dawn.

Xiu Ze got up, and walked slowly in front of Shen Heng. He had no expression on his face, very calm, so calm that it was scary.

"Old man, you said every word and every word is for me. If you are really good for me, why did you design those accidents? You know, if something happens to him, I can't live well, no matter what time it is. "

The "he" in Xiu Ze's mouth refers to Qiao Yue, and Shen Heng knows it.

Shen Heng said: "I used to design those things because I knew he didn't like you, and I didn't want you to sink in and get hurt, but I didn't know that you had fallen so deep that you could die for him. Then I didn't touch him anymore, yes Because I don't want you to be the second me, and, I want you to be happy."

"Xiu Ze, I'm not a responsible father, but I still have one last bit of selfishness."

"I've done a lot of wrong things, I've hurt others, I've hurt you, I've hurt people you care about."

Shen Heng looked at Xiu Ze slowly, there was deep tiredness in his eyes, he didn't seem to have changed, and he seemed to have aged a lot overnight.

"I don't ask for your forgiveness, I only ask that you can... fulfill my selfishness."

Before Shen Heng could say what his selfishness was, a shrill siren suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Who called the police?" Qiao Yue quickly walked to Xiu Ze's side and asked in a low voice, "Xiu Ze, you called the police?"

"No." Xiu Ze shook his head.

Qiao Yue shifted his gaze to Ning Feng, and now Ning Feng managed to recover from the daze, moved his stiff body, and said: "It's not me, I didn't call the police."

At this time, more than a dozen policemen filed in.

"Who is Shen Heng?" the leading police officer asked.

"We received a call to the police from you surrendering yourself, please come with us."

Everyone was stunned.

In the entire tea room, only Shen Heng made any movements.

He slowly got up from the sofa, straightened his clothes, didn't look at anyone, didn't miss anything, walked straight to the door, and stretched out his hands in front of the police.

There was a crisp sound of the handcuffs "cracking", which was very clear in the early morning of the rainy night.

When the rainstorm had just stopped, clear water flowed on the marble slabs outside, and the moist air was mixed with the fragrance of plants, and the world was peaceful.

The sun rises in the east, the golden light covers the earth, the dark clouds dissipate, and the sky is clear.

A grievance between two generations, a entanglement between two lifetimes, finally came to an end on such a rainy day.
