Qi spirit

At noon, accompanied by Xiao Jiong, Han Yuling arrived at Jiang Rong's residence by taxi. He didn't use the car and driver Jiang Rong sent, so he sent the driver away, and then asked Yan Yusheng to drive the car away, and told his cousin Take it anywhere and let this striking sports car confuse anyone trying to track them down.

The taxi drove to the door of the Ye family's mansion. The address had not changed, and it was still the place Han Yuling remembered, but the mansion had been fully renovated and decorated, with modern automatic iron gates installed, and the yard was no longer lawn, and it was all paved with tiles. Forming an open space that is clear at a glance, the window grilles of the house have been replaced with a style with a high security effect, and the inside of the house cannot be seen from the outside.

Han Yuling observed it in the car, and he was a little glad that the house was no longer what he remembered. For example, the old iron gate, every time he was brought here, he felt that the open door was like a big mouth that swallowed him; The lawn was once ordered by my grandfather to weed with bare hands under the bright sun; the window grille in the old days was once trapped inside, looking out through the window grille, longing for someone to rescue me from the bottom of my heart.

Han Yuling closed his eyes and took a deep breath, temporarily ignoring the dark memories that he inadvertently provoked. Although the appearance of the house has changed, it is obviously to increase the security function. The interior of the house may still be the same, and every corner can let people He thought of the way he had been through so many painful experiences, a situation he had mentally prepared for, a situation he knew he had to overcome.

As soon as the front foot stepped out of the car, the automatic iron door slid open without a sound, and a neatly dressed foreign maid came out quickly and invited Han Yuling into the house in English with frowning feet.Xiaojiong came out from the car door on the other side, holding an exquisite fruit gift basket, followed Han Yuling, and walked into the house led by the maid.

Xiaojiong observed Han Yuling's face, and saw that the young master was extremely calm, but felt even more uneasy. He asked softly, "Teacher, will you leave after eating?"

Han Yuling glanced at Xiaojiong, just as the two had reached the door, the maid opened the door, Han Yuling swallowed to clear his throat, and deliberately raised his voice to respond: "I have never eaten here, I hope I can eat enough today !"

Xiaojiong's face was downcast, seeing that Han Yuling was about to enter, he quickly grabbed Han Yuling's hand, and said tremblingly, "Old... teacher, can you not go in? I... worry about you."

Xiaojiong's worry from the bottom of his heart, Han Yuling can naturally feel it, but if he shrinks back at this time, he may never be able to muster up the courage to overcome his childhood fear.

"I can't turn back." Han Yuling broke away from Xiao Jiong's grasp, and whispered: "I know I'm not a strong person, but I can't show weakness here, you know, if a newcomer is to be brave on the stage To perform, the people around him must first believe that he has the ability to conquer the stage."

Xiao Jiong frowned, but hesitated to speak, Han Yuling assumed that he had understood his determination, walked in the door, the maid took him to the living room, asked him to sit down, and then left.

Han Yuling leaned on the back of the chair and did not sit down. He looked around and found that the layout of the house was the same as when he last visited 17 years ago, only furniture and appliances were replaced or added.The huge aquarium that used to hold an Arowana is still there, but it has changed in various ways.Colorful tropical fish, very pleasing to the eye.

Han Yuling's gaze shifted from the aquarium to a wall that was once empty. He had received various forms of physical punishment in front of that wall. Now there are two long calligraphy and paintings on that wall. The inscription is a certain A famous calligrapher in modern times, a calligrapher whom Han Yuling greatly admired.

There is a small door in the corner of the wall with precious calligraphy and paintings. In the past, this door was a storage room, and it was also the room where Han Yuling stayed in the boarding room when he was a child. Han Yuling's eyes stayed on this door. The various tastes tasted inside the door, such as hunger, cold, heat, pain, fear, helplessness, and hallucinations of dying, have never been told to others.

The maid brought a pot of flower-scented hot tea and two plates of nut snacks. When pouring the tea, she said that the old lady asked the guests to wait a while and asked the guests to treat this place as their own home. walk away again.

With his hands in his trouser pockets, Han Yuling followed the maid in a leisurely manner, passing the side hall, the dining room, and then to the kitchen. The maid asked him what he needed?He said don't bother, he just treats this place as his home and walks around.

The maid showed embarrassment, Han Yuling ignored her, opened the refrigerator by himself, rummaged through it, took out a can of fruity beer, then rummaged through the cabinet, and found a pack of buttermilk flavored potato chips, which was still unsatisfactory , he took out a box of dark chocolate-flavored ice cream from the ice tray in the refrigerator, and the maid wanted to bring him cups and bowls to serve, but he refused decisively, and took a small spoon in his mouth, holding the snacks and drinks Walk out of the kitchen, raise your feet and sit down in the comfortable seat in the side hall, open the beer, tear open the potato chips, open the lid of the ice cream box, and grab a spoon to eat the ice cream box.

Xiao Jiong's face was ashen, and he ran to Han Yuling after putting down the fruit gift basket, but he still realized that in this situation, he could not argue with the young master as usual. His responsibility at this time is to protect the young master, although the young master can do whatever he wants, as long as he is not bullied just fine.

The time passed leisurely, the sound and aroma of cooking came from the kitchen frequently, Xiaojiong sat cross-legged next to Han Yuling, and shared snacks with Han Yuling, the maid even found time to bring sliced ​​cantaloupe, Han Yuling didn't eat , I took it back to the kitchen by myself, found the grapes from the refrigerator, cleaned them myself, and took them to the living room, sat on the sofa and raised my legs, turned on the TV, and ate while watching.

About an hour later, a sumptuous dish was placed on the table, and the maid invited Han Yuling to the dining room. The dining table was a large rectangular table as before, and the chair the maid pulled out for Han Yuling was on the right side of the master's seat, Han Yuling remembered It used to be where my uncle sat.

Han Yuling looked at the delicious home-cooked dishes, and strode up the steps to the second floor without saying a word. He followed his memory and walked to the door of a room where he saw his mother for the last time 17 years ago. He raised his hand to hold the doorknob, pushed it open vigorously, and suddenly there was a scent like air freshener. He walked into the room and looked around. The bed, wardrobe, dressing table, small desk, small sofa by the window, The layout is roughly the same as before, but it can be seen at a glance that no one lives in this room for a long time, and it is only cleaned regularly to keep it basically neat and clean.

When Han Yuling walked out of the room, he felt at a loss. The big house he was in was three stories high, but he had never had the opportunity to go through it all. Except for a part of the corner downstairs that he remembered, he only knew that the room on the second floor was once a Mother's bedroom.

Xiao Jiong had already followed, but he just gave Han Yuling a worried look without saying anything.

Han Yuling took a deep breath and tried to open the other four doors on the second floor, but they were all locked. He climbed up to the third floor. There were only two doors on the third floor, and one of them was open. He walked in. It was a typical room. In the study room, the tall bookshelves are full of books, and there are several photo frames hanging on the wall. The photos in the frames all show the glorious status that the members of the Ye family have achieved in various fields. There is only one family photo among them. It was a college graduation photo, and the young woman in a graduation gown was Han Yuling's mother.

Han Yuling had already noticed that Jiang Rong was sitting behind the big desk by the window in the study room. His eyes stayed on his mother's graduation photo for a few seconds before walking towards the desk. Jiang Rong gracefully folded her hands on her lap and held the corner of her mouth slightly.

"Have you eaten yet? Grandma heard that you mentioned in an interview that you like home-cooked food the most. You must like all the dishes prepared for you today?" Jiang Rong said.

Han Yuling turned his head and asked Xiaojiong to leave the study, close the door, and wait outside.Xiao Jiong did as he did, but his movements were very slow. Han Yuling waited for the door to close before slowly pulling out the chair and sitting opposite Jiang Rong. After a while, he said coldly: "The important thing about home-cooked food is not what it is."

Jiang Rong smiled and nodded slowly.

"Straight to the point, do you want profit or revenge?" Han Yuling leaned against the back of the chair, put his hands on the handles, and looked directly at Jiang Rong.

Jiang Rong's smile remained unchanged, "What did you say? One family, where is the hatred?"

Han Yuling raised his left hand, facing Jiang Rong with the back of his hand, "My hand was rescued with more than a dozen steel nails. If I add the amount used by my two legs, I think it can be used to nail a full-length nail." long box."

Jiang Rong's smile slowly disappeared, she looked up at the photo frame on the wall, and said slowly: "If you insist on bringing up the past, then I really want to hear from you, your hatred, isn't our family enough? "

"Don't confuse me with you guys. I've avoided it for so long, but I just want to make a clean break and not owe each other?" Han Yuling couldn't help gnashing his teeth, "It's business, I won't shoot commercials, and I must pay according to the contract. Besides, I have nothing to give you, and I don't want anything from you."

Jiang Rong looked at Han Yuling, her face was no longer benevolent, but replaced by the disgusted expression that Han Yuling had learned a long time ago.

"I thought you were smart, so you should have known the situation long ago." Jiang Rong said, took a notepad and opened it in her hand, and handed a photo inside to Han Yuling.

Han Yuling didn't answer. He saw a person lying on a hospital bed in the photo. The person's head was covered with thick gauze, his mouth was half open, and his eyes were dull. He also recognized this person. This was one of them who attacked him. And Lu Shaozong's robber, he beat this man into an idiot with his own hands.

Han Yuling was indifferent. He and Ji Peng had already discussed this matter. Ji Peng said that in order to find out the robber, he had recruited different people for help, and one of them might have leaked the matter.It is not an absolute secret that Ji Peng knows Lu Shaozong and Han Yuling. Ye Chongjie's father-in-law is one of the insiders. Jiang Rong probably speculates that Han Yuling is behind the scenes based on this, but it is absolutely impossible for her to grasp any real facts evidence of.

Jiang Rong put down the photo, observed Han Yuling's face, and then took out another one. Han Yuling looked at it and couldn't help laughing. That photo was of him and Tian Yuemeng in bed.

Jiang Rong put down the photo, pushed the two photos together in front of Han Yuling, and said, "It's a very simple thing to hit your career. I can get it all at once, or I can slowly toss and make public and hype these two things." It will be the first step, I believe Chongjie will do a good job, after all, gifts are reciprocated, these years, he firmly believes that all his misfortunes are thanks to you."

Han Yuling picked up the photo, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into a wastebasket not far away, "Let the horse come here." He said calmly that he had been mentally prepared to face these threats before, as Jiang Rong said, even if he didn't However, if these two rumors become serious, his reputation will definitely be discredited in the short term, and the company may be boycotted in the long run. However, he believes that Lin Baowo has the ability to make the company tide over the difficulties. As for himself, he doesn't care at all.

Jiang Rong burst out laughing, she crossed her arms, shook her head, showing a helpless expression, "You have done a good job so far, to be honest, I am really surprised that you can tenaciously negotiate with me in front of me, So I believe your ability is more than that, and you must know that my chips are more than that."

"Don't be too extreme in everything." Han Yuling stood up, retracted his trouser pockets with both hands, and looked down at Jiang Rong, "If what you want is only benefits, please don't try to negotiate with me by threats. When you think it over, then Talk to me, I'm leaving first."

After Han Yuling finished speaking, he turned around and left. Jiang Rong called him when he was about to reach the door.

"You can't change the disparity between strength and weakness. For you, the means that are too extreme are just like greetings in my eyes. For example, those steel nails and steel plates that were once installed on your body. If you can hold them, I will Let you put it back in soon."

The cruel threat, Jiang Rong spoke calmly, and Han Yuling couldn't help but think of the pain he had forgotten for a long time. Once again, he would rather die.

Han Yuling had already stopped, feeling the chill on his back getting more and more piercing.

Jiang Rong then said calmly: "It's a pity... I still checked your physical condition. Poor child, you should be in your prime, but you are suffering from illnesses. It must have been difficult for you to climb to the third floor."

Han Yuling turned around and glared at Jiang Rong angrily. He knew that Jiang Rong intended to provoke him, but knowing it was one thing, but being able to hold it back was another.

Jiang Rong pulled a laptop, turned it on, and turned the computer screen to Han Yuling. The computer was playing a silent video, and Han Yuling felt it was blurry. He took a step forward and looked carefully, only to see that the video was shot from a high place. , The venue is a corridor, it seems that the people passing the corridor back and forth, some of them are obviously nurses and doctors, this video is shot in a certain corner of a hospital.

Han Yuling had an ominous premonition that the worst might happen.

The video played for more than ten seconds and then stopped. In the middle of the screen, a young man wearing a patient's clothing was photographed in front of him. The young man had a plaster cast on his left hand and held a mobile phone to his ear in his right hand.

"Tan Yufeng, his blood type doesn't match his parents', and he doesn't look like his father Tan Jun at all." Jiang Rong said with a smile, "I was born in the United States, and for a few years after I was born, I would go to the United States to spend the holidays on fixed festivals. It just so happens that you He hid in the United States 17 years ago, you don’t need to deny it, when I get the DNA report, I can prove that he is your biological son.”

Han Yuling shrugged, "His surname is Tan, and he hasn't lived with me for 15 years, and I never planned to recognize him."

"It's just that you don't recognize it, I can." Jiang Rong looked at the computer screen, "Looking at it this way, I think he is a handsome young man. I heard that he has very good sports cells. If he is cultivated properly, he can develop very well."

Han Yuling rushed forward and closed the computer vigorously. He clenched his fists and tried his best to resist the urge to lift the table.

"I've made it clear, I didn't take a single cent of the Luo family's property, so don't make plans on me!" Han Yuling yelled, he held back his hands, but couldn't hold back his words.

"Good grandson, it should belong to you, how can you not want it? Well, you listen to grandma to arrange for you, grandma will not let you suffer, you will definitely get a reward that allows you to start enjoying retirement immediately. "

Jiang Rong remained calm, Han Yuling really felt that Jiang Shilao was hot, he and Jiang Rong were indeed very different in strength.

Han Yuling took a step back, pulled the chair over, and sat down again.

Jiang Rong smiled brighter, nodded, and asked Han Yuling, "Does this mean that you are willing to have a good chat with grandma?"

Han Yuling remained silent. He had already admitted defeat, and the only thing he could do was to stubbornly maintain the minimum dignity.

"Grandma invited Mr. Luo to talk with her, do you agree?"

Han Yuling looked at the bookshelf, but found that he seemed to be illiterate, unable to read any of the words written on the book.

"It's not good for you to eat out all the time by yourself. If you live temporarily, you can have home-cooked food every day."

Han Yuling suddenly stood up. Although he persisted until now, he knew his bottom line very well. This house was his cage, and the people in the framed pictures on the wall of this study were all people who imprisoned him. It's okay when he thinks about it, but when he thinks about it, he starts to have auditory hallucinations, disgusting bastards, and such curses are his mother's last words.

"If you want to keep me here, you can kill me first." Han Yuling turned around and walked faster than before. He couldn't stay anymore. He lost this battle.
