shadow ambush

When Bai Jingran appeared in front of Meng Xi, her face was pale and her steps were vain, and she almost stepped into the air and fell off the stairs.

"Do you want to follow me to the hospital?" Meng Xi asked in a low voice, holding Bai Jingran with one hand to support him.The image of Bai Jingyi rushing out of the door with the old man in his arms was still engraved in his mind. He thought that Bai Jingran was at most breaking up with the Bai family, but he didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.

Bai Jingran lowered her head and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips, "Well, let's go too."

Grandpa has been in poor health in recent years and has been living in the old house to recuperate.When he started on this road, the only one who knew was his grandfather, who told him: Children of the Bai family don't need others to understand what they do, and the most important thing is to have a clear conscience.

Lei Yan and his grandfather are old friends. Before his grandfather retired, he helped the newly established Jiuta do a lot of drug testing.For Lei Yan, there was no doubt about his identity.

Over the years, every time I go home and look at the encouraging eyes of my grandfather, he seems to have added a bit of strength, so that he will not lose his way when he flirts with those people.

However, my grandfather is still getting old, and the number of days of coma and fainting at home has gradually increased in recent months. Both he and my brother understand that the deadline is not far away.

"Are you ready?" Meng Xi drove silently to the entrance of the hospital and stopped, then turned to look at Bai Jingran who was down all the way.

Bai Jingran took a deep breath, took out a USB flash drive from her arms and put it in Meng Xi's palm, "You print out the documents inside, and then go upstairs to find me." After speaking, she stopped looking at Meng Xi and turned to the hospital. The building walked with its head held high.

Meng Xi curled up her palms tightly, the metal edge of the U disk hurt her palms, but she still didn't feel it.He knew that no one could share the pain in Bai Jingran's heart at this moment, and he could only bear it by himself.

Bai Jingran walked to the door of the operating room with difficulty. In addition to her brother who was anxiously pacing back and forth, Bai Sen and Mrs. Bai also stood under the red light of the operation in fancy attire.

Bai Jingyi heard the movement, glanced at his younger brother indifferently, and turned to look to one side.He hasn't told his parents what happened in the study earlier.Grandpa's life was being rescued in the operating room just across the door, and he didn't want the scene to be tense.

But his cover-up could not escape Mrs. Bai's eyes.For the two bastards she brought up since she was a child, Mrs. Bai was familiar with her from the bottom of her heart.The two brothers who have always talked about everything turned out to be ignoring each other across the long and narrow aisle.

"Jing Yi, what's going on?" Mrs. Bai put her hands on her chest and stared straight at her eldest son.

Bai Jingyi glanced to one side and looked worriedly at the door of the operation. For the first time in her life, she did not answer her mother's question.

"Jing Ran, tell me."

His mother's gaze was aggressive, and Bai Jingran was almost unavoidable, but the only thing he could do was to grit his teeth and stand upright.

"Da..." The door of the operation was suddenly pushed open by the doctor, and there was still a piece of paper in his hand.

"Ms. Bai, Mr. Zhou's condition is not optimistic. Acute thoracic aortic dissection has caused a cardiovascular burst, and surgery is necessary immediately. This is a critical illness notice, which needs to be signed by family members." The doctor's face was hidden under the mask, and the surgical cap Drenched with sweat on his brow.

When Bai Jingran heard the five words in the critical illness notice, her knees gave way suddenly, she collapsed back on the chair, and closed her eyes in grief.

Grandpa...

Bai Jingyi strode up to Bai Jingran, raised her hand high, and slapped Bai Jingran's left face heavily.

"Snapped--"

Bai Jingran's eyes were staring from the beating, and the hospital's shining white overhead light burned her fragile retinas, and a fishy sweetness gushed out of her mouth.

Mrs. Bai, who was signing, turned her head to look at her two sons, her already tired brows lowered even more.Wrapped in a warm breath behind her, it was her husband who hugged her, "Jing Yi."

Bai Hua's voice was extremely calm, calming Mrs. Bai's flustered mind, and pulling the dizzy Bai Jingran back to reality.

It was him...it was he who caused grandpa to lie down in the operating room...

Tears had already filled her eyes, and Bai Jingran clenched her teeth tightly, not to show her weakness.What he should do has not been done, and he cannot fall down yet.

Bai Jingyi looked down at his younger brother in disappointment, without even a single excuse or repentance, he was wrong all these years...

Turning her head towards her parents, Bai Jingyi lowered her voice and told her parents the results of her investigation in detail.The Bai Sen family has a big business, even if it is a secret operation by the police, there will always be a way to find out after the dust settles.

In the blurred vision, Bai Jingran saw her parents' faces turned pale and livid, and felt sad.

Madam Bai tremblingly walked in front of Bai Jingran, "Jingran, look up at me."

With endless disappointment in the words, Bai Jingran lowered her head and smiled bitterly, then slowly raised her head.

"Jing Yi said, is it true?" Mrs. Bai still had the last hope, hoping that Bai Jingran hadn't done those things that devoid of conscience, and hadn't been hanging out with drug lords.

"Brother... doesn't he have evidence..."

"Snapped……"

Bai Jingran was slapped so hard that she bowed her head sideways, the corners of her mouth were so painful that she was numb, even if she gently pulled the corners of her mouth, it would be a sharp pain that would tear her heart and lungs.

"Nizi...Nizi..." Mrs. Bai's chest was in unbearable pain, and a slap in the face had already drained all the strength from her body.Bai Sen is a pharmaceutical company, and what she does is to save people and cure diseases. Why does her son do something as utterly unconscionable as a beast like smuggling drugs?

Clutching her chest tightly, Madam Bai raised her hand, "Get out, get out as far as you can!" At the end of the curse, the ending sound was already tinged with tears.

Bai Jingran clenched her fists tightly, her nails had cut through her palms and dripped blood.

This is what Meng Xi saw when she stepped out of the elevator.

With a raised swollen mark on the corner of her mouth, Bai Jingran walked towards him with her head bowed and struggling.

"The materials are ready." Meng Xi handed over the contract in his arms. When printing it, he briefly read the contract and understood Bai Jingran's overall plan.

Bai Jingran accepted the contract with a wry smile, sat down on the floor at the other end of the corridor, and flipped through the three-year contract he had carefully prepared.This is the only way he can think of to preserve the Baisen Group.

By secretly separating Bai Sen from his transportation company, even if something happens in the future, Bai Sen will not bear too much infamy.Just need to go through the most difficult period, with the ability of my brother, I will definitely be able to make a comeback.

Even if doing so would break the hearts of his parents, even if he would bear a lifetime of infamy, he would do it.

"Is it worth it?" Meng Xi sat down side by side, and the person watching was asked by him to wait downstairs. At least this floor was quiet.

Bai Jingran stared dazedly at a black spot somewhere in the corner. During the summer vacation three years ago, Lei Yan came to the old house where her grandfather was recuperating, and brought a top-secret document with her.

He didn't know why his grandfather would have someone stop him from the plane that was about to take off and rush him back.That conversation lasted for three full hours, and there was no movement in the study.

He stood outside the study and waited. Whether it was Lei Yan's intimidating demeanor or the assistants and security personnel who followed downstairs, he told him that this person's identity was not simple, and the purpose of this trip was probably related to him.

The study door slowly opened, and grandpa sat on the soft chair tiredly and smiled at him.

"Of course... Director Lei has a plan to tell you..."

The Shadow Ambush Project was hidden in that brown paper bag. It took him half an hour to browse through it in detail, but it took him a full hour to barely digest the huge amount of information.

"This Wujiu...is me?" He looked at Lei Yan.He didn't expect that one day in his life, a man would appear in front of him and ask him if he wanted to be an undercover police officer and stand on the front line of fighting drugs.

Lei Yan nodded, "You have the right to choose to accept or reject, no one will force you."

That day, grandpa's generous palm rested on his shoulders, warm and steady, as if to say that no matter what he chooses, grandpa will support him to the end.

In the end, facing Lei Yan's calm gaze, he chose this road of no return and could never turn back.

At that time, there was always a sentence in his mind, a sentence that my grandfather mentioned in their brothers' ears when they were young:

"Some things have to be done by someone. It's not me, it's someone else..."

My mother was only nine years old when my grandmother died.Now grandpa is leaving too. They gave everything for the country, including their lives.Now, it's his turn.

On the other side of the hospital corridor was his family who had been with him for many years, and behind a door was his loving grandfather.Beside him was a brother who depended on each other for life and death, Bai Jingran was a little stunned.

Lowering his eyes, he said softly, "Boss, have you ever regretted it?"

Meng Xi recalled Aunt Zhang who was still in treatment, thinking that she would go to Myanmar, she shook her head slightly: "No."

"Do you think Grandpa will blame me? I'm too cruel to take advantage of him even when he's sick." Tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes, and Bai Jingran was trembling all over.

"No." Meng Xi put his arms around his shoulders, "Didn't you say that? Grandpa is the person who understands you best, and he will feel gratified for your growth."

Heartbroken, Bai Jingran closed her eyes and stopped speaking, quietly waiting for the doctor's verdict.

The door of the operating room kept opening and closing, doctors and nurses rushed through, and the Bai family members were waiting at the door, worrying about the elderly who were going through life and death difficulties.

Every time father, mother, and elder brother looked at Bai Jingran with disappointment, it made him feel more and more uncomfortable.The chill from the wall permeated the whole body along the spine, Bai Jingran's lips were pale.

After a long time, the red light above his head went out, Bai Jingran got up suddenly, supported the wall, and looked at the doctor walking out through his teary eyes, with the last hope in his heart.

The doctor walked up to his mother and shook his head slightly.

With nothing in her mind, Bai Jingran fell backwards into Meng Xi's arms, feeling desolate in her heart.
