I quietly watch you play

Mr. Lu's inpatient building, Jiang Xiaoqi, is no stranger to him. Four years ago, he lived here for two months. He risked his life to donate bone marrow to his elder brother Jiang Xiaoteng, saving that person's life.

Today, he came to collect debts.

Jiang Xiaoqi turned into the corridor of the VIP ward, it was spacious, tidy, quiet, and cold that he was familiar with, and the leather shoes made a crisp sound when they stepped on the floor tiles, and the group of shadows followed closely behind him.

The bodyguard at the door of one of the wards turned around vigilantly when he heard the movement, and reported something to the people inside through the headset with a slight tilt of his head.

Jiang Xiaoqi walked to the door, and waited for the person to ask for instructions in a leisurely manner, and then the other person respectfully pushed the door open for him.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the winter sun lazily climbed into the air, and when the light fell, it was still a cool temperature that did not wake us up.

The room was dark with the curtains covered, and the lighting was also kind of indistinguishable. Jiang Xiaoqi smelled the smell of decay, and the sweetness of candy mixed with milk in Zhou Wei's room was like two worlds.

He doesn't like it here, he wants a quick fix.

Jiang Baichang was also there, sitting on a low table making tea, the kind Jiang Xiaoqi drank at his place, the bitterness from the boiling water seemed to be a silent sigh.

Jiang Xiaoteng sat leaning on the hospital bed, wearing a pair of thin-rimmed glasses and reading a book in his hands. No matter how refined and elegant his manners and exquisite ornate costumes were, he couldn't conceal the darkness and decay wrapped inside.

Jiang Xiaoqi recalled the first time he saw this old and sick elder brother, it was almost the same scene, he took off his glasses and smiled at himself, laughing so that he trembled and feared for no reason.

Now he shouldn't be able to laugh anymore, Jiang Xiaoqi thought, so he generously returned the other party with a smile, from the heart.

"Xiaoqi, come and sit." Jiang Baichang brewed a cup of tea and placed it opposite him. Obviously, the only person who is qualified to negotiate terms with Jiang Xiaoqi today is his father. "Our father and son have never had a chance to have a good chat. Your eldest brother is not in good health and can only spend the first day of the new year in the hospital. I am very pleased that you can visit him. After all, we are still brothers..."

"I thought our family didn't talk about feelings." Jiang Xiaoqi unbuttoned a button on the hem of his coat, sat down opposite his father calmly, and didn't touch the cup of tea.

He could feel the blade-like gaze from the side, so he turned his head and looked back, his gaze was so cold and careless, as if he was looking at a moldy and peeling wall or a dead spider in the dust in the corner of the wall.

Jiang Baichang also followed his gaze, and there was no more warmth in his eyes than his: "Your elder brother is not in good health, the doctor advised him to pay attention to rest in the future, and stop touching things that bother him and his mind, so, You need to share more with Jiang Sheng. I will ask them to sort out the development company and sales under the group—”

His words were interrupted by a soft sound on the coffee table. It was a mini Walkman that Jiang Xiaoqi put down with his hand. It was a cheap student model, and it was worn out. It was just exchanged for the latest mobile phone from Zhanxiang the day before. Advantages The memory is large enough and the external display is clear enough.

"For negotiations, it's better to clarify the conditions first. This is my trump card——Wang Zha." Jiang Xiaoqi pressed the play button.

In fact, Jiang Baichang's actions are not indirect, but also very sincere. He wants to come forward and transfer everything that originally belonged to Jiang Xiaoteng to this youngest son. In addition to changing a set of new tires for Jiang Sheng, the Jiang family's car is still driving. .

He didn't expect that the ex-born child in front of him was no longer the ex-born son who was worried about thousands of tuition fees four years ago.

His wild pup had grown too fast and was blatantly trying to take his place as the alpha.

"...Mr. Jiang, really, this won't work... You see, it's okay for me to help you deal with the mess outside, but I can't do anything else... You didn't say anything, and I didn't say anything Understood, I have prepared everything here for you...one piece, crushed and mixed anywhere, the smell can be ignored, if one piece is not enough, another one, seven or eight months old can be beaten alive..."

Jiang Xiaoteng's face was black and blue, a bit like the legendary "Yintang turned black", even Jiang Baichang stared at it in disbelief.

Jiang Xiaoqi pressed the pause button: "Cao Siwei, the former private doctor of the Jiang family, is also a teacher who brought Lin Mu into the profession. His voice is familiar, right? I guess I am the 'messy' from 'outside'. Lin Mu heard it and stayed, and my life was also left behind by him."

"Do you regret it?" Jiang Xiaoqi looked sideways at Jiang Xiaoteng, "If you killed me back then, I don't know if you can find someone to help you extend your life for these four years."

Jiang Zhen was pregnant with Jiang Bochang's child back then, Jiang Xiaoteng probably knew about it, so he went to the Jiang family's private doctor at that time to help him solve his future problems.

Lin Mu was forced to drop out of school and leave Danyang because of his love for Wei Lerong. He did not give up. After returning from Johns Hopkins, he wanted to enter the circle of private doctors. Only in this way could he approach Wei Lerong with another identity by virtue of his professional expertise.

But it was obvious that it was absolutely impossible for Lin Mu to become the Zhou family's private doctor, so with the help of Ji Qing, he took the route of Cao Siwei and took the Jiang family as his foothold.

Twenty-five years ago, Jiang Xiaoteng wanted to instigate Cao Siwei to help get rid of Jiang Boping. It happened that Lin Mu listened to their cryptic conversation.

The speaker has a heart, and the listener has a heart. Lin Mu seized this opportunity to do what his teacher dared not do, and became Jiang Xiaoteng's confidant, stepping across the border to become the successor of the Jiang family's private doctor.

At the same time, Lin Mu was also aware of the danger of the Jiang family, so he took advantage of Jiang Boping's death to scare Jiang Zhen away, and kept him as far away from the Jiang family as possible.

"Cao Siwei immigrated to Canada and returned to China every Spring Festival to visit relatives. If necessary, it is not difficult for the police to find him to testify." Jiang Xiaoqi pressed the play button again, "There are too many things in the future, so I won't waste time explaining them. You can listen to them yourself. .”

It has to be said that Lin Mu is definitely a genius when it comes to preserving criminal evidence.

Jiang Xiaoqi couldn't figure out how he included some of the content, and some of it was supplemented and perfected after the conversation. With Lin Shu's strong personal style, he never shy away from clearing up his guilt, and he was full of ruthlessness everywhere, maybe This is also the main reason why Jiang Xiaoteng has retained so much evidence to dispel Jiang Xiaoteng's doubts.

Lin Mu may have already had a premonition that the day when this thing was exposed was when he was caught in a dead end, and the way out would not be attractive to him.

For more than [-] years, Jiang Xiaoteng not only planned and implemented Jiang Boping's "accidental death", but also died of illness due to the "failed operation" of a close friend of Jiang Baichang, who gave him the opportunity to replace his own eyes and ears; The "heart attack" of the old director of the expansion strategy.

In addition, Jiang Xiaoteng also knew about Lin Mu's kidnapping and detention of Wei Lerong early in the morning, and even helped Lin Mu hide the hostages in the early stage. Lin Mu's first villa was obtained from him.

There is also the kidnapping case of the Zhou family 13 years ago. The ransom of 1 million yuan was laundered through Jiang Xiaoteng's ascension, which blocked Jiang Xiaochao's hole in futures speculation and gambling.

Perhaps everything Lin Mu did, including selling Jiang Xiaoqi's recordings in front of Jiang Xiaoteng, was never aimed at gaining the other party's trust, but just to make him less prepared.

All the piles and pieces, after years of dust and the last layer of fig leaf, were clearly presented in front of the father and son.

For Jiang Xiaoqi, every word uttered in the audio bites the flesh and blood of their mother and son, the Zhou family, and Zhou Wei. Such deep enmity cannot be repaid by death!

When all the audio was played, the room was dead silent, and Jiang Xiaoqi seemed to feel that he was facing two lifeless living corpses.

"What do you want?" Jiang Baichang's face was ashes, obviously some information was beyond his imagination, but it would be useless to blame the culprit now, his little wolf cub would not buy it, and he could not save Jiang Sheng just by changing the tire This car, I am afraid that even the engine has to be completely replaced.

Jiang Xiaoqi stood up, and buttoned the bottom button of his coat in a leisurely manner: "Pay debts, and kill people. The legal net has been restored, and it is not missing."

Jiang Baichang stood up with him, and knocked his knee on the low table, which made him look old and embarrassed: "Xiao Qi, your surname is Jiang too! Do you want... to destroy the Jiang family?"

For an old man who has been in the top position for 25 years and has been in charge of the Jiang family for [-] years, this heartbroken tone is equivalent to begging for humility.

Jiang Xiaoqi had already walked a few steps, but he turned his head when he heard the words: "So what? It wasn't my Jiang family that was ruined! I have nothing in the first place, and I have never been afraid of being penniless. I have never had a father since I was a child." , so I don’t care whether my surname is Jiang, Lin, or Zhang Wang Li Zhao... What does the Jiang family have to do with me!"

Jiang Xiaoteng, who had been leaning on the hospital bed without making a sound, suddenly let out a strange smile: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...it has nothing to do with you so why did you come here again? How convenient it is to call the police directly...cough cough cough, hypocrisy! "

"Shut up!" Jiang Baichang stopped him and said in a trembling voice, "The Jiang family... as long as it doesn't harm Jiang Sheng, the Jiang family... can be yours."

Jiang Xiaoteng gasped for breath quickly, with intermittent phlegm sound stuck in his throat, like a life hanging on a gossamer that might be broken at any time.

As soon as Jiang Xiaoqi turned to the hospital bed, he took out a piece of white paper from his arms and unfolded it, facing Jiang Xiaoteng with the writing on it: "I almost forgot if you didn't remind me, I came here to bring this to you with my own hands The new year is coming, brother, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to tell you next year."

The pale paper fluttered down like an ultimatum from hell.

It was a diagnosis certificate made five days ago, and there was Lin Mu's autograph in the lower right corner.

The diagnostic conclusion is: chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) blast relapse, and it is recommended to undergo stem cell transplantation again.

The door of the ward was closed behind him, and the calling bell in the room rang shrilly. Jiang Xiaoqi ran across the corridor against the rushing doctors and nurses, and grabbed a doctor casually.

"Hello, please do your best to rescue my elder brother and let him survive, please."

Frightened by the faint smile on the lips of the patient's family, the young doctor nodded in a panic and hastily broke free and ran away.

&&&

Zhou Wei was fidgeting all morning, walking around the ward with his arms dangling. Even if the nurse put on a drop bottle, he couldn't help but drag the mobile infusion stand around the corridor for three to five minutes, walking faster than the head nurse who patrolled the ward. He was so diligent that all the little nurses were laughing at him, coaxing him back to his room to rest with unfinished chocolate and yogurt.

My boyfriend went to grab the money, who can take this matter lightly, anyway, Zhou Wei really felt the fear of the watchman, and then he just squatted at the elevator entrance and didn't leave, and the sugar coating and shells were all dismissed not drop.

"It's over so soon?"

Seeing Jiang Xiaoqi come back in full length, carrying a packing bag of Lan Yousheng in his hand, Zhou Weiyi got a little excited, black stars flew in front of his eyes for a while, but he couldn't hide his pale face grinning.

"Well, just in time to have lunch with you." Jiang Xiaoqi couldn't help but feel distressed seeing him so worried, picked him up half-supported and half-carried, took the infusion stand and led them back to the ward together. "Tired from running? Just lie down for a while."

Of course Zhou Wei was tired, he didn't exercise so much when he was alone, he just sat back on the bed and dug cakes to eat, looked at Jiang Xiaoqi one by one, wanted to ask but didn't know where to start.

"Eat half first, and I have to eat later." Jiang Xiaoqi brought hot water over and asked Zhou Wei to lie down and wash his hair, "Don't worry, everything will be fine in the future, it's over."

Zhou Wei pondered over this sentence several times, but his brain's comprehension ability was limited, so he didn't quite understand: "Have you had a showdown with them? Uncle Ming came here in the morning, he should be looking for you..."

Zhou Wei rolled his eyes and looked at Jiang Xiaoqi, with a kind of silly tenderness and affection: "Seventh brother, it doesn't matter, even if you leave the Jiang family, you are still an excellent designer, and many companies and design institutes must want you. It's easy for a year." Hundreds of thousands! I'll support you when you're looking for a job, so we won't invest blindly with that idiot Yu Chengtu, I'll earn his salary and drive him to death!"

"Okay, then I'm ready to submit my resume." Jiang Xiaoqi rubbed his soft cloud-like hair, deliberately teasing him, "It may take a while, isn't all the money in your hand used to order the ring? Is it enough? Do we eat bran swallowed vegetables?"

Zhou Wei wanted to nod his head, so he blinked his eyes: "Of course it is enough! Broccoli and carrots can also be bought... Are you kidding me? Don't you still have Lugang Investment and that piece of land? Bullying me again -"

"That land is still a pit, I have to find money to fill it up first." Jiang Xiaoqi lowered his head, smiling brightly, "Then I will build a house there and plant you there."

"And then make a lot of prodigal sons?" Zhou Wei chuckled, as if it was not very important to them whether they had money or not. Together, the two of them would always be able to survive the severe winter warmly, after all, the last The cold time is over.

Jiang Xiaoqi dried Zhou Wei's hair, and heard him muttering in a low voice, "I haven't seen Xiao Liu'er for three or four days, and Hui Xiaocang and Hedgehog, will they miss me? Will they kill me behind my back?" Come? Pei Qin's father's dog is not long-lived... and the parrot, isn't it too noisy? Oops, bad, one of them learned something it shouldn't..."

"Mother Wei's operation was very successful." Jiang Xiaoqi knew what Zhou Wei was thinking about. "She is not used to seeing outsiders, so Zhou Lei took her back to Peony Court to recuperate after the operation. Doctor Duan said that you can remove your neck today." Please, let's go see her together tonight."

"Really? Really!" Zhou Wei couldn't hide her joy, "Then I... can the shoulder be removed? It's not convenient for me to change clothes... Does she recognize me? Recognize me, she knows me and Zhou Hui ...Then am I considered an outsider? Is it a bit fast tonight... What do you think is a better address for me? My name is... Am I too..."

"Of course I called mommy, I've already called you for you." Jiang Xiaoqi held Zhou Wei, who was alive and kicking, and sniffed the light fragrance in his wet hair, "Baby, your heart is beating fast, relax, I'll make it for you artificial respiration-"
