They Regretted it After Their Hearts Turned to Ashes

What are you laughing at?

Mrs. Luo sat stiffly, her face pale.The expression at that moment was quickly swallowed by panic, and his expression became dazed again.

She shook her head desperately, and her eyes that had just woken up were about to fall into the frenzy of the attack. She pushed away the crowd and was about to flee in a panic, but suddenly her arm was pulled by the nurse behind Xun Zhen.

The people brought by Xun Zhen have long been accustomed to dealing with various patients, and they took her under control without much effort and sent her back to the hospital bed.

The nurse skillfully disinfected Mrs. Luo's elbow and flicked the needle twice.

"You..." Luo Cheng was trembling, she was so frightened that she couldn't stand anymore, she stammered and asked, "You guys, what are you going to give her?"

Xun Zhen raised his head and exchanged glances with Ming Lu behind the crowd.

He turned the label of normal saline into his palm: "A new drug that can make people tell the truth."

As soon as the words fell, the blood on Mrs. Luo's face faded instantly.

She seemed to have seen something particularly terrifying, staring at the needle, curling her body back and forth.

As soon as the nurse leaned over, she suddenly struggled in panic and panic more than before: "Don't...don't!"

Luo Chengxiu walked through the crowd and went to hold her down.

His steps were staggering, his whole body seemed to be soaked in cold sweat, and he was panting heavily, but he still clamped his wife's shoulders with his own hands.

Mrs. Luo kept struggling, and she obviously couldn't recognize people again, and the strength of her arms waving wildly was astonishing, and she almost kept hitting her husband with all her might.

"Patriarch Luo." Xun Zhen reminded, "I'm afraid you should go to the hospital. There is an ambulance downstairs."

Luo Chengxiu's condition is obviously not good, and Xun Zhen doesn't want to cause death here: "If there is chest tightness, chest pain and profuse sweating, it may be a heart problem..."

"Let her tell the truth." Luo Chengxiu interrupted panting roughly, he seemed to have heard nothing at all, just staring at his wife, his voice was low and hoarse, "I want to tell the truth."

Xun Zhen sighed lightly.

He asked Luo Chengxiu, "Does this make you feel better?"

Luo Chengxiu shuddered.

Xun Zhen's words were inexplicably wordless. He should not have understood, but he clearly knew what the other party was talking about, and even felt chills blowing out of his bones.

He suddenly raised his head, staring at Xun Zhen with bloodshot eyes.

"The instigator is here." Xun Zhen signaled the nurse to inject Mrs. Luo with normal saline, and then looked at Luo Chengxiu, "But the perpetrator is here, is it possible to separate out who is the most heinous and who is the most unforgivable, so that you can feel better? ?”

People with hysterical personality disorder will have very big mood swings, will be highly self-centered, and will take a lot of fantasies as reality, and will be extremely susceptible to other people's verbal and behavioral hints... So Xun Zhen deliberately said that normal saline can make people To tell the truth, Mrs. Luo might really believe this.

But the rest of the family should at least be regarded as normal people, shouldn't they have the minimum logic of thinking and discrimination?

Since you have these abilities, why would you believe that kind of lie?

Taking a step back, even if he really believed that kind of lie, would it be an unforgivable crime for a seven-year-old child?

"Patriarch Luo, I also have a son, who is ten years old this year. When I was mischievous, I even thought about punching his ass."

Xun Zhen said: "But if my son is lost for three years, even if he ran away by himself, even if he was really capricious...as long as he can be found."

"As long as I can get it back." Xun Zhen said, "Even if he wants to demolish the house, I will demolish it for him."

Luo Chengxiu stared at him, breathing heavily as if he could choke on blood at any time.

His throat moved with difficulty for a long while, but he couldn't say anything, only his chest rose and fell with difficulty.

"Patriarch Luo." Xun Zhen still couldn't help asking: "You should have known for a long time that Mrs. Luo's mood is often unstable?"

This matter is not difficult to reason at all - under what circumstances, a mother with two children, the child is lost, and the seven-year-old brother is actually responsible?

There is only one answer, that is, the seven-year-old boy at that time was already very precocious and stable, so stable that everyone subconsciously felt relieved.

Because he was already a very good and reliable little man, everyone agreed that it should be that child who took care of his mother and sister.

Because that child is too sensible, so even though he is still at the age that should be taken care of, he has subconsciously made everyone around him feel that he should take care of others.

It was Luo Chi who went out with his mother and younger sister that day.

That's why Luo Chi and his sister are lost, so Luo Chi will be responsible.

"You should go to the hospital quickly. I will find out the truth from Madam Ling and tell the Ming family."

Xun Zhen said: "If you want to know, just wait a little longer and then go to Ming's house and ask."

"Fortunately...Mr. Luo didn't grow up from your parents at all."

Xun Zhen lowered his head and turned back to organize the medicine box: "My wife doesn't let me have too much contact with you. She is afraid that I will become a cold-blooded monster when dealing with your family."

Luo Chengxiu seemed to have been hit hard on the head by this sentence.

He really felt the blood in his throat this time, and slowly let go of his wife, stood up staggeringly, and walked out step by step.

Luo Cheng was stared at by him, he didn't know how terrifying he looked, in short, Luo Cheng's face was as pale as if he had seen a ghost, he took two steps back in panic, and suddenly ran out without looking back.

The door of the living room downstairs slammed loudly, and Luo Cheng stumbled out of the house.

Luo Chengxiu stopped the butler who was in a hurry to chase him: "Isn't she an adult?"

"Yes." The butler said in a panic, "but—"

"Let her go, isn't she afraid that we will sell her?" Luo Chengxiu whispered, "If you bring her back, she will hate you."

The butler froze in place.

Luo Chengxiu pressed his chest and walked out alone.

...He was thinking about the day Luo Zhi was found.

He was suffering from business problems, and he was also very tired of people. Suddenly, he heard that the lost child had been found back, and he also made a lot of news about it.

Outside the office, someone didn't know he was in there, and they made extremely bad jokes: "The Luo family can't do it... a child can run back by himself, and the Luo family has been looking for it for three years, but they haven't found it? Is it a search or not?" Looking for it?"

"Maybe they didn't look for it at all? I didn't see their family caring much about it."

"Isn't Mr. Luo very powerful? Who can tell that the son is lost and the wife is crazy?"

"I can't even look after my own son. It's fine if I can't. I lost it and couldn't find it. Let my son come back by himself."

"Tsk tsk, people can't be judged by their appearance..."

……

He was furious because of those words, and fired the gossipers on the spot, but he still planted poisonous weeds in his heart that couldn't be pulled out.

The very existence of Luo Zhi is a proof of his failure, a proof that he failed to be a qualified father and failed to protect his family.

If Luo Zhi hadn't lost everything, everything about him, his career, and his family would all be perfect.

If Luo Zhi hadn't come back, when people talked about the Luo family, they would at most just lament a mother who had lost her son, and a family that was itself a victim.

Luo Zhi went back to Luo's house by herself, turning everything into a mocking joke in others' mouths.

So he just wants to be out of sight and out of mind.

……

Of course he did.

He threw Luo Zhi far away out of sight, never caring about that son.

Luo Jun really believed his wife's words, and believed that Luo Zhi took his sister and got lost.

Luo Jun was studying abroad, and he hadn't met his younger brother a few times. Instead, he spent three years with his adopted younger brother day and night, and he became close and distant unconsciously... Coupled with this kind of statement, the prejudice was even deeper.

According to Luo Jun, his wife even secretly exchanged Luo Zhi's gift, which made Luo Jun always think that the gift was from Jian Huaiyi, and made Luo Jun think that the younger brother would only cause trouble and cause trouble, and finally there was an insurmountable barrier.

Luo Cheng...Luo Cheng probably really believed his wife's words, otherwise Luo Cheng wouldn't be so mean to Luo Zhi.

Maybe it's not necessary, Luo Zhi said that Luo Cheng's temper is like his mother's, and he's seen it before.

You don't need to know about this, as long as you rely on Luo Zhi's "bad deeds" in the mouth of the family, Luo Cheng can also be very bad to Luo Zhi.

... What about him?

Of course he believed it, otherwise for so many years, he wouldn't have been using such trumped-up charges to suppress Luo Zhi—he even couldn't wait to believe this statement.

So how can you expect him to analyze and verify?

He wished that these were all true.

Mrs. Luo may be ill, but his illness is worse than Mrs. Luo's.

The stone on Luo Chengxiu's chest was getting heavier and heavier. He desperately opened his mouth to breathe, but no matter what he couldn't get any air in, he tremblingly touched the handrail of the stairs.

He suddenly heard his own angry reprimand.

Luo Chengxiu turned his head in a daze, and he saw himself standing not far away, scolding Luo Zhi whose hand was pierced by his wife's dining fork.

He was asking Luo Zhi if he would never be able to make him feel at ease like Huai Yi did.

... Is he crazy?

Luo Chengxiu shook his head hard incomprehensibly, but he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth. He watched Luo Zhi speak to himself and Luo Jun word by word.

Luo Zhi said, it wasn't him...

His wife suddenly rushed towards Luo Zhi.

Luo Chengxiu's heart beat heavily, he remembered what would happen next, he staggered and rushed over, but failed to stop his wife's shadow.

Luo Zhi was pushed down the second floor in front of his eyes.

His feet were soft, and he fell heavily on the ground. He rolled a few times, and the sudden colic in his chest finally engulfed him.

"Father." Luo Jun's voice said to him, "We deserve it."

……

Director Gong's documentary finally has the most suitable trailer.

Luo Cheng woke up from the carpet.

She had a terrible headache, sat up a little drowsy, and stared blankly at the room where the lights were not turned on.

The memory came back intermittently, and she gradually remembered what happened before—she finally learned that her mother had been lying all along, and her father was so angry that she fell ill.

She was completely stunned, her mind went blank, and when she came back to her senses, she had already fled the house in a panic.

She found a hotel and hid there, not daring to read the news or go out, but she just learned from the butler that her father was out of danger after being rescued, so she turned off her phone.

She didn't know how long she hid in a daze, maybe three to five days, or maybe a week.Kari's money was almost gone, she still didn't dare to go home, and wandered around in a daze...

"Miss Luo." Someone suddenly said, "Are you awake?"

Luo Cheng was instantly gripped by fear. She widened her eyes in horror, but found that she was so frightened that she couldn't make a sound at all, but couldn't stop shaking desperately.

Where is she? !

Why is someone still in the room? !

Luo Cheng twisted his body stiffly, and finally, with the dim light outside the window, he could vaguely make out some figures in the room without the lights on.

"I don't know if you still remember me." The other party said, "We met at Huaisheng Entertainment. I am the manager of the artist department. My name is Fang Hang."

"Huaisheng Entertainment is a bit difficult." Fang Hang turned on the light, "Boss Jane would like to ask Ms. Luo for help."

Luo Cheng was blinded by the glare of the light.

She said it a few times before making a broken voice: "Help, what can I do for you?"

Fang Hang was silent for a while, and suddenly said a name slowly: "Li Weiming."

Luo Cheng seemed to realize something suddenly, and his pupils shrank instantly.

"As long as Li Weiming can help you, please ask Ms. Luo for help." Fang Hang said, "Jane always ordered so."

Luo Cheng seemed to be pinched by the throat with a hand.

She couldn't figure out how everything had become like this, her mind was muddled, only the colder and deeper fear weighed on her and she couldn't breathe.

Jian Huaiyi... Want to harm her?

No, it was Jian Huaiyi who was plotting against her from the very beginning.

It wasn't until now that she finally figured this out bit by bit.

Father must hate her, mother is crazy, elder brother... elder brother seems to be incapable of listening to anything except Luo Zhi, and there is absolutely no way he can go back to school.

She can't escape anywhere, Jian Huaiyi finally tricked her into leaving nothing, now it's her turn...

Luo Cheng trembled in horror. She kept struggling to stand up, but her legs were so weak that she couldn't control her.

Fang Hang got up and walked over, Luo Cheng hid back in despair, his trembling hands tightly clenched the hem of his clothes.

She stared at Fang Hang, almost completely overwhelmed by fear, but froze at what the other party put in front of her.

……

That's a tablet.

Above is the chat record with Gong Hanrou's crew, and an electronic contract.

In fact, Ren Chenbai had already signed the contract for her, as long as she agreed, she would be taken away for a closed interview, filming and recording.If you want to withdraw again, you must pay a high liquidated damages, otherwise the crew has the right to sue according to the contract.

"Don't worry, this is not the room Mr. Jane requested." Fang Hang said, "We won't do that. Mr. Luo will probably knock on our window."

His voice was very low, and Luo Cheng was stunned for a long time before finally realizing who he was referring to as "Boss Luo".

...and then related to the unreasonable cold treatment these people gave her, Luo Cheng suddenly became flustered.

Fang Hang did not intend to continue this topic, but continued: "We have received the contract from Director Gong's crew, and we need your final approval."

"You can continue to think about it." Fang Hang said, "Leave, or—"

Luo Cheng blurted out in a panic: "I'll go!"

She was even afraid that the other party would repent, so she rushed over to snatch the tablet, and signed her name on the final confirmed electronic contract.

She just wants to escape as soon as possible, she can't hold on anymore, as long as she can escape from these horrible nightmares, it doesn't matter where she escapes—she is indeed strongly afraid to touch the things that Luo Zhi has experienced, but after all, those things are also It's just filming, can it be more desperate than these absurd nightmares she is encountering now?

Luo Cheng signed the contract in a panic. She watched Fang Hang take back the tablet, only to realize that although the other party's expression did not have the greed and malice that made her shudder, it was not gentle either.

... A strange fear and uneasiness that seemed to be extremely ominous quietly climbed up her back.

"In that case." Fang Hang asked, "Miss Luo, would you like to see the trailer?"

The chill trickled down into Luo Cheng's body, freezing her hands and feet.

... what lead film?

Fang Hang turned off the lights again, took the remote control, and Luo Cheng realized that there was a whole wall of projection screen in front of them.

The light beam penetrated the dust in the room and hit the somewhat yellowed curtain.

"Hysterical personality disorder." Holding the phone, Fang Hang helped her read the science popularization released by the crew and the lead film, "at least meet the following three items."

"Highly suggestive, easy to be influenced by others." Fang Hang read slowly, "Exaggerated expression, posturing, superficial emotion."

"I am self-centered, and I just want others to meet my needs and will. I feel strongly dissatisfied when I am not satisfied, embarrassing the other party in public, and even feel that the other party is heinous."

"Boast yourself, show yourself, and don't allow your perfect image to be damaged."

"Imagination mixed with reality, full of lies..."

The manifestations of hysterical personality disorder are of course more than these. The science given by the crew is objective enough, and this is just a disease.

But this inexplicable manager of the artist department chose to read a paragraph and stop for a paragraph, picking and choosing, which sounded extremely ironic.

Luo Cheng finally couldn't listen anymore, interrupted hastily: "Enough!"

Fang Hang looked up.

"Fang... Manager."

Luo Cheng clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "I am very grateful to you, you saved me."

She said with difficulty: "My mother is sick, but she is my mother after all, you can't say that about her..."

"Miss Luo." Fang Hang frowned, put down his phone, "Did you misunderstand?"

"I don't know any of your mothers."

Fang Hang looked at her: "I'm talking about you."

Luo Cheng froze in place.

She was almost instantly annoyed by this insult, pointing at the other party to retort violently, but for some reason, she couldn't make a sound.

The light beam is constantly changing, and the leading film has begun to enter the topic.

……

The boy took his sister in one hand, followed behind his mother, and came out of the aquarium.

This pilot film was shot based on the results of the Xun family's treatment of patients, and extensive use of blur and perspective.

The actor was chosen very well, the boy's figure was blurred, and he looked almost exactly like Luo Chi.

When the family came out of the aquarium, it seemed that they were already having a bad time.

—more precisely, it was the little girl who was throwing a temper tantrum, which apparently displeased her mother.

The boy was hung between the two of them, and seemed to be accustomed to this situation, he bent down skillfully to coax his younger sister in a gentle voice, and then led his younger sister to coax his mother.

As for why she lost her temper... Mrs. Luo couldn't tell, and no one remembered.

How big can it be?A child of a few years old, nothing more than not buying something he wanted, or not having enough rides, could not help but talk nonsense regardless of the occasion, which annoyed the parents.

Fortunately, there was an older brother coaxing in the middle, but it didn't really make too much noise, and the family even went into the coffee shop.

Looking at the coffee shop, Luo Cheng's face suddenly turned pale.

The nightmare that has been lingering on her these days, and which she has completely forgotten for so many years, climbed up from the depths of her memory little by little.

The boy sat at the table with a small cake in front of him, and a birthday crown made of paper was placed on top of his head by his sister.

He looked very happy, even his earlobe was slightly red, he stroked his sister's head and said thank you softly.

Luo Cheng stared fixedly at the shadow of the boy on the screen.

...she remembered what had happened.

It was my brother's birthday that day.

Of course it's not a birthday cake, the birthday is going home at night...the family will spend it together.

She just had a whim and wanted to wish her second brother a happy birthday alone, so her mother brought them to the coffee shop.

But she was dissatisfied with the cake in the cafe, she liked the white one with roses that she saw at the roadside stall just now, so she kept mumbling and complaining in the cafe.Later, the mother was finally annoyed by her, and the two quarreled again.She always quarreled with her mother at that time, because everything would quarrel.She ran out of the coffee shop in anger to buy the cake she picked...

Luo Chi bought desserts for his mother and younger sister, and when he came back with a plate, he found that his younger sister was gone.

……

"There was a lot of discussion, and many people thought it was ridiculous." Fang Hang paused, "Just because of such a trivial matter."

Just because of such a small thing, the child was lost.

But it was also because the child was lost by such a trivial matter, so he had to lie to hide it.

…Otherwise, this kind of mistake is simply too absurd, too dereliction of duty, too easy to be ridiculed and criticized.

Luo Cheng looked at the frozen picture.

That frame pauses on a cake and paper birthday crown.

Luo Chi couldn't persuade his mother to go find her, and worried that she would run away alone, so he ran out to find her.

"What can I do? The client is sick after all."

Fang Hang returned to the previous science popularization and read slowly: "Be self-centered—especially when she is angry. Anyone who does not follow her wishes is heinous in her eyes."

He seemed to be reading popular science, as if he was talking about Mrs. Luo.

But Luo Cheng heard him say that, but his whole body seemed to be slowly cut open, and something was peeled off bit by bit along the inconspicuous gap.

Luo Cheng hid from the light of the projector. She was stunned by the too bright light, but she couldn't dodge it no matter what.

She seemed to have been skinned by the light.

"Miss Luo." Fang Hang couldn't help it after all, he put the remote control aside, looked at Luo Cheng, "May I ask, did Boss Luo do anything excessive to you?"

He wanted to figure this out too much: "It's too much for you to treat him like this?"

They didn't know that Mr. Luo and Luo Cheng had such a relationship. That day they squatted in Luo Zhi's office to help the little boss grab tickets.Several managers are all in their thirties, and they were all picked up by Luo Zhi with one hand. They accompanied Luo Zhi to light the lamp and boil oil to revitalize Huaisheng Entertainment.

Because Luo Zhi changed his mind in the last 10 minutes, everyone remained silent.

"I'm looking for you guys to help me and grab my ticket to go out by myself."

Mr. Luo didn't need to rush for tickets, so he turned off a row of alarm clocks and huddled on the sofa to play games: "Your reaction seems to be that I just paid attention to our company's employee benefits."

They didn't know how to react. They watched Luo Zhi excitedly tell them that he wanted to buy a cruise ticket to go out a few days ago, and they stayed up all night to help them grab the tickets.

In the end, Luo Zhi gave up this birthday wish nonchalantly, and spent money to buy a script for Luo Cheng.

……

Not long after that, the company suddenly had a so-called shareholder, and suddenly Luo Zhi became the one everyone was calling - they couldn't get in touch with Luo Zhi, and the calls they made were inexplicably blocked. blocked.

They actually had no face to see Luo Zhi, they thought Luo Zhi was angry with them.

They wanted to leave, but everyone was old and young, and they were not qualified to do that kind of happy enmity. They felt that Luo Zhi should be angry with them.

Even if Boss Xiao Luo blocked each of their calls, they deserved it.

Later, they finally heard that Boss Luo was taken back by Faxiao and taken good care of him in a private hospital, and they were finally relieved.

What about people?

Where did the care go?

Why did Luo Zhi sit alone in the rain afterwards?

Why was Luo Zhi being pushed down in the live broadcast and didn't even have the strength to stand up?

"Why did you apologize to Li Weiming for him?" Fang Hang asked her, "Why do you apologize for him? Do you know what he did?"

"How outrageous has he done?"

"You all hate him so much, can one of you tell us exactly what's going on and make us believe we're with the wrong guy?"

"Can you please explain this, we don't understand—"

Fang Hang pressed the remote control hard.

In the blurred foreground, the boy shouted his voice hoarse, still calling his sister's name.

He searched all the places but couldn't find his sister, it was getting dark soon, he looked at the last dark and remote alley, gritted his teeth and ran in.

...The screen goes dark here.

A title appeared on the pitch-black screen, which was a crimson flame surrounded by a sign of death.

"People." Fang Hang stared at him, "Miss Luo, your family found the lost child back 13 years ago."

Fang Hang asked her, "Where is the person?"
