The Deepest Color of the Night

The various accidents and turmoil that occurred in the Ke family that night were all lost in the endless night with time, and no one knew about it anymore.

Two months later, Gu Yuan took part of the underworld forces of the Ke family away to Southeast Asia, and disappeared from the sight of the upper class on Hong Kong Island; , showed no objection to the clan's decision.

Fang Jin immediately asked people to search for traces of Gu Yuan in Vietnam, Myanmar, and Malaysia, but although he was there from time to time, he disappeared immediately, and he was hardly seen in person.Fortunately, there has been no news of his injury or danger. It is only through intermittent feedback from various parties that he can learn that his sphere of influence is expanding rapidly.

A year later, the senior executives of the Gu Family Consortium completed a preliminary exchange of blood, and "Gu Mingzong" officially announced his decision to retreat behind the scenes, and asked Fang Jin to speak for him from then on.

As soon as the news came out, the consortium was in turmoil. Fortunately, Fang Jin had initially cultivated his own cronies in the past year. In addition, he promoted a group of Gu surnamed branches to disperse power, and quickly suppressed the turmoil within a controllable range.

The other party would like to say that it is impossible for him to completely control the consortium like Gu Mingzong: on the one hand, it is too sensitive for a different surname to exercise power; It's really powerless.

When he is receiving treatment, he will often take time to pay attention to Gu's father's situation.Gu's father's health was really ruined. He developed high blood pressure and heart failure in the late stage of diabetes. He could barely maintain the status quo with the help of expensive medical treatment; His mental condition has greatly improved, and he even briefly recovered his basic sanity for a while.

This news is nothing less than a shot in the arm for the other party.

From then on, he took time out to contact Gu's father every day. As soon as he first showed up, Gu's father was yelling and aggressive like before, and the bodyguards had to pull Fang Jin away quickly; Hou Gu's father was finally able to accept that Fang Jin came to his side, and he kept looking at him with vigilant eyes.

Under the guidance of the psychiatrist, Fang Jin always had a gentle and quiet attitude, did not speak, and just stayed silently by the side.

After several more months like this, Father Gu finally got used to his presence, and his manic and restless attitude gradually returned to normal.

Fang Jin dismissed the nurses and bodyguards and began to learn to take care of the patients by himself.He feeds Gu Fu with food and medicine, combs his hair, and even reads to him on sunny afternoons, playing soothing and melodious piano music in the living room; later he even pushes Gu Fu's wheelchair out for a walk, and the bodyguard Stay far behind and watch them walk through the gardens in the sun, around the crystal clear fountain, before heading to the lawn for afternoon tea.

There used to be a glass greenhouse in the Gu family garden. The ceiling can be fully opened and the ceiling is fully open. The inside is full of lush lilies and white roses. When the flowers bloom, it is a magnificent sight.

One time, Fang Jin pushed Gu's father into the conservatory for afternoon tea because of the wind blowing outside. Unexpectedly, after Gu's father entered, he suddenly went berserk. hand, the bodyguard rushed over before barely pulling him away.

The stab was very deep, leaving a three to four centimeter long bloodstain on the tiger's mouth.When Fang Jin was dealing with the wound, he urgently summoned the psychiatrist and asked what was going on, but the doctor surnamed Zhao told him: When Father Gu was in the Ke family nursing home, he was often pushed to take a walk in the greenhouse by the bodyguards, but because the bodyguards Lazy relationship, always tie him in a restraint belt and leave him there, and go out to chat and smoke by himself.Over time, Gu's father had a stress response to places like the greenhouse, and the familiar scene induced a psychological barrier, which is why he suddenly erupted.

Fang Jin remembered that when he first met Gu's father, he was indeed left alone in the corner of the greenhouse, without even a guard around, and couldn't help feeling slightly sad.

At this time, his physical condition was already very bad, and the wound on his hand was infected and inflamed intermittently, and the scab never formed.The butler has worked in the Gu family mansion for more than 30 years. He and Gu's father had a master-servant relationship when they were young, and they had some emotional biases towards the old master. Therefore, they were worried that Fang Jin would take the ignorance of Gu's anger; however, Fang Jin did not Say more.

He had the greenhouse demolished, and then went to visit Father Gu again.He still pushed Gu's father to take a walk in the garden, read a book, and drink afternoon tea; but his injured hand was still wrapped with a thick bandage.

That afternoon, Father Gu was sitting in front of the small round table, tremblingly holding the silver teaspoon, while keeping glances at him, most of the teaspoon full of brown sugar spilled out.Fang Jin stood up and patted the candy off his clothes, and suddenly he heard Gu's father vaguely asking: "Your... hand..."

Fang Jin said, "I accidentally cut it."

Father Gu nodded thoughtfully, and asked after a while, "You...what's your name?"

Fang Jin made a move.

In an instant, he realized that if he said his surname was Fang, he might not be able to irritate Gu's father, so he made some reservations and said, "My name is A Jin."

Father Gu nodded and said, "Gu Jin."

Fang Jin didn't dare to correct him, so he just smiled.Unexpectedly, after Gu's father drank half a cup of milk tea, he suddenly said, "We can't come out too late, your mother will be worried. Your mother originally wanted a daughter, but she will definitely be very happy to see you." You have to listen to her carefully, eat well, and don't make trouble with her..."

Fang Jin frowned, and suddenly realized after a while that Father Gu regarded him as his own son!

Part of Gu's father's mind was stuck in the moment when he entered the delivery room for more than 20 years. He knew that he had a child who should be as old as Fang Jin this year, so he directly put the role of this son on Fang Jin!

"You have to study hard and pass the school exams. Our children all have to pass the exams. If your hands are broken, how can you do your homework? Your mother will be angry..."

Fang Jin hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help interrupting Gu's father after a while: "Gu... Uncle Ji, I'm not your child. Your son's name is Gu Yuan—"

Father Gu stared straight at him, then suddenly slapped the table heavily, and asked, "Why don't you go to school?!"

Fang Jin was stunned for a moment, only to hear Father Gu say excitedly again: "Why are you here, why don't you go to school?!"

The bodyguards have been watching the situation here from afar, and when they saw this, they immediately rushed over, snatched the cutlery and tableware from the small round table without saying a word, and then one of them blocked Fang Jin behind him, while the other two pushed the wheelchair Just pull back.

These bodyguards were terrified by Gu's father's incident of hurting people last time. They quickly pushed the wheelchair out of the lawn and parked it far away by the fountain more than 20 meters away.However, Gu's father was quite excited, trying his best to push aside the bodyguard to see Fang Jin, while dancing and shouting "Go to school!" "How can my son play truant?!" The voice could still be heard clearly from far away.

Aken was still in shock and asked, "Are you okay?"

Fang Jin panted and shook his head.

Dr. Zhao was very happy after seeing it, and said that it was a manifestation of logical thinking gradually emerging in Father Gu's mind.Since he can remember that he still has a child, and even mentioned the role of the child's mother, it means that his sanity has begun to recover.

The trouble is that Gu's father is very confused about the concept of time. At one moment he thinks that his son should be in his 20s, and at another moment he thinks he should go to school; Then he suddenly became irritable again, and asked Fang Jin why he stayed at home in broad daylight, and whether he had played truant again.

In the end, Fang Jin was so tossed that he had no choice but to ask someone to find a private high school uniform. When he went to see Gu's father, he changed into it, and told him that he had just returned home from school.

Father Gu just gave up.His impression of Fang Jin is still very good. From passively waiting for visits in the past, to arguing to go for a walk with Fang Jin every afternoon; every day after lunch, he would check the time with his watch, calculating how long Fang Jin would have to wait. He can only come here, and sometimes he is not happy to be a little late.

The sense of relaxation produced by this dependence made him recover from mental problems very quickly.In the spring of the following year, he was already able to have some simple conversations. When Fang Jin read to him again, he could even repeat what he had heard yesterday, and occasionally he could ask questions about things he didn't understand.

However, he still regards Fang Jin as his son, and he can't change after repeated corrections.Sometimes Fang Jin told him face to face: "I'm not your child, your son's name is Gu Yuan, understand?" He nodded.After a while, I became confused, and said to Fang Jin: "You are so old, when are you going to start a family? Your mother is still waiting to have a grandson..."

Fang Jin could neither laugh nor laugh, but was helpless.Later, seeing that Father Gu's spirit became more and more clear, he found out the photo of Gu Yuan that he had secretly taken before on his mobile phone, showed it to Father Gu, and said, "This is your son, do you know? His name is Gu Yuan. When you feel better, I'll bring him to show you—"

Unexpectedly, Gu's father looked at Gu Yuan's expressionless face on the screen, and suddenly his eyes went straight and he remained motionless.

Fang Jin focused all his attention on him, and immediately realized something was wrong when he saw the situation. Just as he was about to put the phone back, his father rolled his eyes and suddenly screamed: "—Take it away! Take it away! Don't come here , you murderer, you ruthless bastard!..."

Fang Jin was stunned at the time, but fortunately the bodyguards swarmed up to pull him away, and then he saw Father Gu struggling desperately in the crowd, letting out inhuman roars, and suddenly holding his chest straight after a few seconds It fell down and hit Aken right on top of him.

Aken was stunned, and Fang Jin suddenly realized: "Nitroglycerin! Call the doctor, it's a heart attack!"

·

It was beyond everyone's expectation that Father Gu had a heart attack under such circumstances.Fortunately, Fang Jin had invited a doctor to stay at Gu's house before, and the emergency medical facilities were complete. Within 10 minutes, he rushed Gu's father to the temporary emergency room.

Suffering from acute myocardial infarction and advanced diabetes, Father Gu's situation was extremely dangerous this time, and he was transferred to the best private hospital in G City that night.It took him three full days to wake up in the intensive care unit. At that time, Fang Jin hadn't closed his eyes for dozens of hours, and he was standing in front of the bed, his eyes were dark and black.

In the past three days, he thought over and over again, and finally understood the reason why Gu's father had a heart attack on the spot when he saw Gu Yuan's photo.

——He thought it was Gu Mingzong.

Gu Yuan is very similar to Gu Mingzong when he was young, the only difference is that Gu Yuan's facial features are more profound and three-dimensional, and his expression and aura are completely different.However, it is difficult to see this point in the photos, and Gu Mingzong left a deep shadow in Gu's father's subconscious mind. It is normal for Gu Yuan to be insane under the intense stimulation at first sight.

Originally, Fang Jin had always had a secret hope, that after Gu's father recovered his basic sanity, he would bring Gu Yuan to let them recognize each other, and then destroy Gu Mingzong's will and re-establish it; Never expected.

Just looking at the photos is enough to excite me, what will happen when I see the real Gu Yuan?

Another acute myocardial infarction, who can guarantee that it will be saved? !

In just three days, Fang Jin lost a lot of weight, and his face was so haggard that it was faintly gray.Father Gu lay on the hospital bed and stared blankly at him, his expression seemed as if he was meeting him for the first time, and after a long time, his cloudy eyes flashed a little sober: "Ah Jin..."

Fang Jin thought he wanted to drink water or something, and just listened to him, only to hear him hoarsely say: "Fang... Xiaohe, it's... yours..."

Fang Jin felt as if he had been hit hard in his heart, and was speechless for a long time.

However, Gu's father kept staring at him, his eyes filled with rare calmness and sobriety - that was the expression he had never seen in the past 20 years since he was insane.

Fang Jin opened his mouth, and finally managed to make a sound: "...It's my father."

Father Gu closed his eyes.

The ward was quiet, the medical equipment made a monotonous ticking sound every few seconds, and there were faint footsteps of nurses passing by outside the door.

Gu's father just lay motionless on the hospital bed. I don't know how long it took. Fang Jin even thought he was asleep, when he suddenly heard him say: "Fang Xiaohe, come and beg me, beg me to let your mother go ..."

"But Xiaolin is about to give birth, I'm really afraid that something will happen to her..."

——Fang Jin's pupils constricted slightly.

Xiaolin should be referring to Gu Yuan's biological mother, Ke Lin, that is to say, Gu's father, who has been insane for so many years, suddenly regained his sanity and remembered the past more than 20 years ago!

"I also went to find a blood bag, but at that time...at that time, I couldn't find Xiaolin's blood type...I really couldn't help it..."

Fang Jin stood there in astonishment, feeling complicated and unspeakable, only listening to Gu's father trying to catch his breath: "I told Fang Xiaohe that after Xiaolin gave birth, we would let Xiaolin and her husband go away. But Fang Xiaohe went to steal the birth certificate. , Seeing that Xiaolin's situation is not good...he is embarrassed, and I am also embarrassed, people are selfish..."

"...I'm sorry for your mother." Gu's father closed his eyes tightly, and a cloudy tear slowly flowed from the corners of his wrinkled eyes: "If I knew this before, why did I do it in the first place!"

Fang Jin trembled slightly, and let out a long breath of hot air for a long time.The truth that had been dusty for so many years was finally unveiled at this moment, but he didn't have any excitement or emotion, only endless tiredness in his chest, enough to swallow him whole.

"My father is also sorry for you." He said softly, his voice was a little difficult due to choking: "Afterwards, he took my mother away from the Gu family, gave birth to me, and lived in seclusion in the countryside. Later, they moved back to G city to do business and owed money , was tracked down by Ke Wenlong, and they were all...taken away with a torch..."

Father Gu suddenly showed a bleak smile: "Really?"

Before Fang Jin could react, he just heard him say: "Ke Wenlong found him because he came to save me!"

Fang Jin was stunned for a moment.

"Ke Wenlong took me to a place where no one would stay. Fang Xiaohe sneaked in, pretended to be a security guard, and took me away. As soon as I got out...the Ke family found me. I have bad legs and can't run. Call him Go first, and then he said that he would come back to me again, that he would definitely come back to save me!—”

Father Gu swallowed his tears and murmured, "No wonder he never came again, no wonder!..."

At that moment, countless yellowed details flashed through Fang Jin's memory, and questions that he had never thought about for many years all came to mind from the depths of his heart at the same time.Why did their family suddenly want to move back to G City to "do business"? Why did they lose so much money just "doing business"? Why was the Ke family able to accurately find the whereabouts of Fang Xiao and his wife after many years?Thinking about it now, all the unreasonable contradictions have been completely explained.

Fang Jin sat down slumped, raised his hand and covered his eyes.

He thought of the fire that soared into the sky late at night, the noise of people around him, the sound of police sirens, and the world seemed to collapse into a bottomless black abyss in chaos; While playing on the bamboo mat at home, the hot aroma of lunch mixed with oily smoke came from the hall.

That seemed to be a thing of the previous life.

·

From that day on, Gu's father has been groggy, dizzy and awake from time to time, often confused and less awake.

After he came home from the hospital, he was obviously much quieter than before. He used to take a walk when he had nothing to do, but now he prefers to sit and take a nap in the warm breeze in the afternoon.Sometimes he would dream, and he didn't know what he was doing, and he would show pain, anxiety or smile in the dream; but he would not say anything to the people around him when he woke up.

In his dependence on Fang Jin, he gradually added something that could almost be regarded as concern.Once when he fell ill and beat the nurse beside him, Fang Jin rushed over, but he stopped shivering at once; another time when it was raining heavily outside, he suddenly woke up from his dream, and hurriedly dragged the nurse to hold him. Going out: "It's raining!" "Has Jin finished school yet? Call someone to pick him up!" "Hurry up and give him an umbrella!"

During that time, the scope of Fang Jin's bone marrow search had been considerably expanded to foreign countries, but it was still in vain. All the samples were lost without a trace.He can only rely on conservative treatment to maintain the status quo, but the treatment process is very painful, which makes him very thin and haggard, and he seems to be floating when he walks.

One day when he was reading to his father, he suddenly became dizzy, and before he could make a sound, he fell down.When he woke up, he was lying on the hospital bed, only to see Aken leading someone to guard the bed, and Gu's father was sitting in a wheelchair, guarding the window of the ward, drowsy.

"Mr. Ji refused to leave," Aken told him, "He asked if you were sick, and insisted on waiting for you to wake up."

Fang Jin struggled to sit up, the movement immediately woke up Gu's father, and before the bodyguards went to push him, he turned the wheelchair to the hospital bed with ahh, and looked at Fang Jin with concern.

"Uncle Ji," Fang Jin leaned on the big snow-white pillow in the ward, and said hoarsely, "Listen to me. I don't have much time, can you bring your son back? Don't be afraid to see him, he It is really your own, but now I am in a little trouble and need your help..."

Father Gu stared at him suspiciously, with a dull expression on his face, unable to tell whether he was awake or confused.

"I also...I want to see him too," Fang Jin's eyes burst into tears instantly: "Call him back, let us all...see him again..."

Gu's father looked at him blankly, and after a long time he was a little confused, but said firmly: "But you are my son."

·

Although the news was tightly sealed, several confidants including Aken knew that Fang Jin's time would definitely not be able to survive Father Gu.

The results of the first round of screening by foreign bone marrow banks were zero, and no suitable match was found.

In a sense, the hammer of death sentence has been raised high.

However, the world is so unpredictable. On the day Fang Jin got up from the hospital bed temporarily, Gu's father suddenly had a toothache, and he had a temper tantrum with the nurse and refused to eat.The nurse didn't take it too seriously, and prepared soft and rotten lean meat porridge for him, but Gu's father yelled that his stomach hurt and dropped the bowl.

Fang Jin left a message in advance that if there is any abnormality on Gu's father's side, he and the doctor at home must be notified as soon as possible.However, Fang Jin happened to be discharged from the hospital that day, and his health was very weak. Even the doctor at home was too busy to follow around.

In the end, no one expected that Father Gu's pain was not in his stomach.

In the afternoon of the same day, Father Gu suffered another myocardial infarction and was rushed to the hospital.

This time, Lady Luck was not on Father Gu's side.

After being sent to the hospital, Gu's father underwent surgery immediately and was sent to the ICU.That night, the hospital issued three notices of critical illness. Fang Jin stayed up all night, and dispatched almost all members of the Gu family by remote control to urgently search for Gu Yuan's whereabouts.

He wanted Gu Yuan to see his biological father with his own eyes—even if it was just a glance.

However, he had been searching in Southeast Asia for half a month before and there was no news. Now, in this last night, miracles will not happen casually.

At five o'clock in the morning, Father Gu's vital signs fluctuated, and the ICU was in chaos.

Fang Jin sat on the bench in the corridor, stiff as a stone statue, his fingers twisted tightly into his palms; after an unknown amount of time, the opposite glass door suddenly opened, and the dean came out in person.

He took off his white mask, and the other party shook his head regretfully.

At that moment, all the strength in Fang Jin's body was drained, and he suddenly fell down on the back of the cold chair in the middle of the night.

After a long time, he opened his mouth softly, his voice was very erratic: "...is it painful?"

"No, it passed right away. But the patient left a sentence before the operation, which was heard by the anesthetist..."

The dean paused, and said under Fang Jin's distracted gaze: "He said, tell Ah Jin that Dad is leaving."

Fang Jin remained motionless, the pale light reflected on his side face, casting a bleak blue-gray shadow.

It took a long, long time before the ice-breaking sobs leaked from the corridor of the hospital, and then turned into crying bitterly.

——Gu Mingzong, the president of Gu's Consortium, suffered a sudden myocardial infarction and died at five in the morning of the same day.

Three days later, Fang Jin, the vice president of the group, set up a solemn mourning hall for him in the Gu family mansion.

·

The obituary spread from the south of the mainland to Hong Kong Island, and then spread to Indonesia, the Golden Triangle and Malaysia, and finally alarmed a dark giant under the deep water.

Few people have seen its spectacular panorama with their own eyes, but the various legends about its rapid rise and even domination of the underground, as well as its extensive influence radiating in all directions, have never stopped.

The door opened with a bang, and Gu Yuan, who was dressed in black, walked down the steps, the hem of his windbreaker roaring with his footsteps.A convoy of more than 20 bulletproof Humvees was parked on the mountain road at the gate of the courtyard. The bodyguard opened the front door of the vehicle. Gu Yuan strode forward without looking back: "Cancel all other arrangements and go to City G."

The bodyguards responded in unison, and the doors closed one after another.The black convoy of funerals in the mountains and forests is driving into the distance, reflecting the dazzling light under the sun.
