Gloomy and critically ill, they regret it too much

It can only be said that Qiao Yan is really lucky. Tan Mu's father has been in poor health in recent years and needs to be recuperated.Therefore, after deciding to return to China, Tan Mu prepared a medical team in advance to take care of Mr. Tan's daily life.

In the end, Mr. Tan didn't fully use it, but Qiao Yan did.

Although the situation was urgent, after one day and one night, Qiao Yan's condition finally stabilized.

"Sir, the patient's current physical condition can only be said to be temporarily stable, but it is uncertain whether or when he will wake up in the future." The doctor sighed as he said, "This child seems to have been abused for a long time. There are many wounds on the back. They were caused by sticks, rulers, and whips, etc. In addition, the wounds on his arms have just healed, and it looks like they were forced to drag and struggle."

Tan Mu didn't speak, just quietly listening to the doctor's narration.

The doctor couldn't pinpoint his thoughts and could only ask tentatively, "Should we call the police? This is not just domestic violence."

Tan Mu shook his head, "Go and find out about Qiao's family first."

During the waiting time outside the emergency room, Tan Mu finally had time to straighten out some thoughts.The first time he saw Qiao Yan was in the ward.At that time, he saw Qiao Yan's student ID card and felt that his surname was very familiar.But it wasn't until this time that he suddenly came to his senses that his little senior sister Gu Yuan was married to Qiao Gucun from the Qiao family.

And this time he picked up Qiao Yan's location, and Qiao Yan's situation made him even more certain that Qiao Yan was the child of the Qiao family where Gu Yuan was.

It's a pity that Qiao Yan's age is a few years younger.If he was seven or eight years older, he would have known Qiao Yan when he was a child.

Because of Gu Yuan, Tan Mu ignored Qiao's affairs for a long time, so he never even met Qiao Chen.There are still a few greetings to Qiao Jin during the New Year and holidays, but there is almost no contact with Qiao Jing.

But even with this indifference, in the early years when Gu Yuan was not seriously ill, the Tan family and the Qiao family helped each other.It's just that Tan Mu knew one thing clearly at that time, Qiao's house was not a good place.

Tan Mu's father is a photographer who is obsessed with photography, and Tan's family business has always been managed by his mother.Tan Mu knows that although his appreciation ability is excellent, he really doesn't have any amazing talent in photography.So I have been studying with my mother.

For Gu Yuan, Tan Mu's biggest impression is that she is a very beautiful, gentle and talented woman.It feels very similar to Qiao Yan.But perhaps because she has endured too much suffering, compared to Gu Yuan, Qiao Yan still has a sense of brokenness that has gone through wind and rain.

This sense of brokenness, in Tan Mu's view, is very moving.

Perhaps it was because of this kind of touching that Tan Mu paid special attention to Qiao Yan.It is precisely because of this kind of touching that he has ignored the Qiao family's talk for many years, and made an exception and decided to check the situation of Qiao's family for Qiao Yan.

Just returned to China, Tan Mu's work is also very busy.He couldn't stay with Qiao Yan to take care of him for a long time, and he left the hospital after receiving the news that Qiao Yan was temporarily out of danger.

By the time he heard from Qiao Yan again, it was already the afternoon three days later.

The sun was very warm, and the hospital first reported Qiao Yan's situation to him, "Same as the previous two days, the patient's physical condition is stable, but he doesn't seem to be awake."

"He is too weak, and his current physical strength is not enough to support his mental awakening." The doctor hesitated, and said to Tan Mu, "I think he may need to accompany him, see if you can arrange it."

"Accompany?" Tan Mu frowned.

"He will cry involuntarily, and occasionally grasping movements, as if he is trying to save something." The doctor tried to explain Qiao Yan's physical condition in more objective words, but in the end he still substituted some personal emotions.

Qiao Yan is really good-looking.After getting out of danger, her clean face is even more distressing.A few times, when the nurse found that Qiao was tired of crying during the ward rounds, she couldn't help wiping away his tears, and even wanted to hug him.

Tan Mu was silent for a while, "I'll think about finding someone to go there."

Hanging up the phone, Tan Mu asked his subordinates about the progress of the investigation on the Qiao family.

The subordinate just wanted to report, so he came up with the folder.

"Qiao's family, heh." He is an old man who traveled all over the world with Tan Mu, so he didn't feel restrained in front of Tan Mu, so he simply put the file folder in front of him and uttered a series of swear words.

Tan Mu didn't stop him, but opened the file and read it quietly.

Just after reading two lines, Tan Mu couldn't help but swear a curse word.

The subordinates were not surprised. After all, no matter who read the information, it was difficult to keep calm.Even a gentleman like Tan Mu who is gentle, polite and well-educated.

But unlike the anger caused by the simple sense of justice of the subordinates, Tan Mu is more of a surprise.

Qiao Yan turned out to be an illegitimate child.And it's still Lu Niaoyou's child, born in the same year, the same month, and the same day as Qiao Chen.

Regarding Qiao Chen, Tan Mu has an impression.Use publicity and domineering to cover up your selfish emptiness.From Tan Mu's point of view, Qiao Chen has been taught badly from the root.It was also for this reason that my father finally decided not to accept him as a disciple.

In the words of the father, why did Yuanyuan's child grow up like this?It can be seen that the Qiao family has bad genes.But it is also the gene of the Qiao family, Qiao Yan is more like Gu Yuan's child than Qiao Chen.

Coupled with this date of birth, and the car accident that year...

Tan Mu always felt that there might be some conspiracy here.

"Go and check again, especially what happened when the two of them were just born. The hospital where the child was born and the doctor who delivered the child are especially careful here." Tan Mu ordered his subordinates, and he had a hunch that he might come up with a great result. the truth.

In the evening, when Tan Mu came home, his parents happened to be at home.My mother is helping my father organize old photos from the past.

When Mr. Tan was young, he was a great photographer who traveled all over the world. He even climbed to the top of the highest peak of the snow mountain.Especially the joints are painful for a long time.On the contrary, Tan Mu's mother, who was nestled in the greenhouse when she was young, was healthier. Even after fifty years, the years were particularly nostalgic, and she didn't have much weather.

But regardless of appearance and body, they are always very affectionate.This kind of intimacy does not need to be deliberately performed, and the friendship between them can be seen from the occasional eye contact.

Seeing Tan Mu come back, the two called him over.

"This is Yuanyuan." Mr. Tan looked at the old photos, his tone full of nostalgia.He went to see Gu Yuan during the day. Gu Yuan was in good condition today. She was also very happy to see the teacher and his wife, and said a lot in one breath.He even picked up his camera and took pictures of them like he did back then.

"Yuanyuan hasn't changed at all from the past, and the world she sees is still so beautiful." Old Mr. Tan was filled with emotion.

Gu Yuan is his beloved apprentice, and it can be said that he taught him like his own daughter.And this girl lived up to his painstaking efforts.Can bear hardships, but also has excellent talent.

Photos are the photographer's art, and it is the world in the photographer's eyes.

And Gu Yuan's world is just like hers, there will always be scenes that are beautiful enough to make you cry.If Gu Yuan is given a few more years, she will definitely be a person who can make a big mark on the photographer's milestone.

It's a pity that the accident happened.

Everyone is regretting Gu Yuan's future, but Tan Muhe's mother understands that what Mr. Tan regrets more is Gu Yuan's body.

"It will get better slowly. Look, A Yuan can already recognize us when we come back this time!" Tan Mu's mother comforted him.

Mr. Tan nodded.

But Tan Mu saw a strange girl with a bright smile in the photo album.She is smaller than Gu Yuan, but she is tall and tall.The most memorable thing is her demeanor, she is clearly as indifferent as ice and snow, but she can smile so happily in front of the camera.Her eyes are full of affection, as if the person holding the camera on the other side of the camera is the most precious person in her world.

"Who is this girl?" Tan Mu asked, thinking of the investigation materials he had obtained before, "Is it Lu Niaoyou?"

Mr. Tan was surprised, "How do you know about Niao Niao? You probably don't know him."

Tan Mu didn't explain, but just took a closer look at the photo of the winding road.

It's not very similar to Qiao Yan, or in other words, there is no similarity at all.Compared with Lu Niaoyao's aggressive and gorgeous features, Qiao Yan's facial features are softer. Although they are not as delicate as Lu Niaoyao's, they have a unique charm.That kind of warmth can melt all ice and snow.

But such Qiao Yan was born by Lu Niaoyou.Tan Mu was keenly aware of the problem.

Mr. Tan didn't know the doubts in his heart, but recalled the past.

"You are a lucky girl. After being rescued by Yuanyuan, she has been with her all the time. She is smart and brave, and has a ruthless heart. I always feel that Yuanyuan is too soft, soft-hearted, easy to be deceived, and always caring. It's easy to be used. But with the girl Niaoyou following her, it's like an extra line of defense."

"Even that old bastard from the Qiao family can't use her anymore. It's a pity that something like that happened later."

"Do you think Lu Niaoyou was calculated?"

"What else?" Tan Mu's mother sneered, "If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't stretch our arms so far, why would the Qiao family detain Yuanyuan in the country?"

"You asked me to investigate some things after being tricked back then, but before the results came out, both of them had accidents. Otherwise, Qiao Chen's talent in photography is really mediocre. Why did your father keep the promise he once made?" ?”

"It's just to keep the child safe at Qiao's house. Qiao Jianqun is a person who only cares about profit. Before Qiao Jing was young, your father was afraid that he would not be able to protect Qiao Chen, so he made this rule." .”

"Then why not just continue to maintain the cooperation with the Qiao family?"

"Insufficient greed. After Yuanyuan's accident, the Tan family didn't tear themselves apart on the surface, but simply cut off contact to threaten him. If something happened to Yuanyuan's mother and son, then the Tan family would not stand by and watch, but directly turn their faces and fight. gone."

Tan Mu frowned, "That is to say, you knew it was Qiao Jianqun's hands at the beginning, but there is no evidence, right?"

"Yes." The mother nodded, "otherwise, why would I delay my return until now. I'm also worried about Ah Jing. I haven't seen Ah Jing for a long time. As for Ah Chen... this child is obsessed with false fame, and in the end he is not Good thing. Hey, I have been back to China for several days, and I haven’t seen them with my own eyes, and I don’t know how these two children are doing now.”

Tan Mu naturally changed the subject, "Something happened to Qiao's family recently, wait a few days. I'll go see Qiao Jing, and bring them to see you when I find a suitable opportunity."

"Well. Then I'll listen to your arrangement. Your father's photography exhibition is about to start, and there are still many things to do about the exhibition."

Tan Mu probably got what he wanted to know, so he also went upstairs to rest.However, in the middle of the night, he couldn't fall asleep anyway.The scene of picking up Qiao Yanshi in the snow repeatedly flashed in his mind.

Tan Mu sighed, got up, changed his clothes, and drove to the hospital by himself.

The scale of the hospital is small, but the management is strict.If Tan Mu didn't have shares here, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to come in right away.

The doctor on duty saw him and hurried over to tell him that someone came to ask about Qiao Yan's photo today, but they denied it.

"But I think they will come again. After all, the imperial capital is only so big. Qiao hates this situation, and there are not many hospitals that can treat it. Send it to other places, and now it is basically certain that the patient will die."

"Well, keep it a secret for now. When he wakes up, let him make his own decision." While talking, Tan Mu changed into a sterile gown under the doctor's guidance and walked into Qiao Yan's ward.

He had just approached Qiao Yan's bed, but unexpectedly found that Qiao Yan's pillow was wet.

The nurse came in, carefully changed him to a new one, and then said, "It's been like this for two days. He's unconscious, but he's always crying. I think he must have encountered something very sad, so he's here. Dreams are not quiet."

Tan Mu took the cotton ball handed over by the nurse, dipped it in water, moistened Qiao Yan's lips, and then wiped away the tears on his face with a mild cotton cloth.

He thought of what his father had said about Lu Niaoyou and Gu Yuan back then, and what he had found out about Qiao Yan's 18 years at Qiao's house, and suddenly understood why those nurses were always soft-hearted towards him.

A person who is pitiful may be pitied by some people.But it may not be able to get the pity of most people.

It can be pitiful for a person who strives to get up and be strong no matter what situation he encounters, but he can really win the tears of many people.

Tan Mu thought of the doctor's suggestion before, she said that Qiao Yan needs to communicate, and the comfort and calling of those close to him may wake up Qiao Yan quickly.But Tan Mu couldn't find a suitable person to communicate with Qiao Yan for a while.

In the report obtained by Tan Mu, there are only three that Qiao Yan can trust so far.And he found out that Cen Jia and Qiao Jin are currently being left abroad by Qiao Jianqun and unable to return home.As for the rest, only Qiao Ran was left.

But Qiao Ran is just a young boy, and he is only San Tian's elder brother to Qiao Ran.Can such a person be regarded as Qiao Yan's trusted person?Tan Mu disagrees.

As for the rest...

Regardless of Qiao Jing and Qiao Chen not mentioning it, including the old butler of the Qiao family who raised Qiao Yan, Qiao Yan is not where he belongs.Unless Qiao's self-confessed mother, Lu Niaoyou, is resurrected.

Thinking of Qiao Chen smashing Lu Niaoyou's ashes urn in front of Qiao Yan's ward, Tan Mu frowned again, there was nothing he could do about Qiao Yan.

After the nurses finished their ward rounds, they went out quickly.

Tan Mu sat beside Qiao Yan, he looked at Qiao Yan for a while, and finally decided what to say to Qiao Yan.

But what should I say to Qiao Yan?Tan Mu has very little experience with people of Qiao Yan's age.As for Tan Mu himself, when he was as old as Qiao Yan, he had already been running around the world with his mother.It seems that there is nothing worth referring to.

In the end, Tan Mu thought that he had heard from the dismissed employee that Qiao Yan had strayed into the old art museum and looked at those photos for a long time, maybe he was interested in this.

So, Tan Mu recalled the photos he had hung in the old art museum at that time, and began to talk about the first photo that was the most introductory.

"I took this photo in a small auction house on a private cruise ship. The author is not a very mainstream photographer, but I like his style very much..."

The nurse outside looked at Tan Mu in shock, listening to the technical terms he said, she didn't know how to describe her mood for a while.

He even felt a little sympathetic to Qiao Yan, originally asking Tan Mu to find someone to communicate with him was to awaken Qiao Yan's desire to survive.But now it's like taking an art appreciation class, is it really effective?

But Tan Mu is the boss, and what he did is not a bad thing for Qiao Yan's condition, so he can only let him do it.

Tan Mu seldom has the opportunity to talk about his understanding and insights on art with others at such lengths. Although Qiao Yan will not give feedback, he is still a very good listener.So it was a lot of fun to talk about harmony.

After he finished telling the story of the first photo, he found that the sky outside was already slightly bright, and it turned out that it had passed overnight.

The nurse was also surprised to find that Qiao Jing didn't even cry that night.

"Maybe he likes it!" the nurse exclaimed.

Tan Mu also smiled slightly, "He is indeed a very coaxable child."

He put his hand on Qiao Yan's head, and gently rubbed his hair, "I'll see you tonight, and I'll tell you the story of the second photo. Get well soon."

After speaking, Tan Mu left the intensive care unit.

On the bed, Qiao Yan grasped slightly with her fingers, as if she was trying to persuade her to stay, but also seemed to be quietly looking forward to it.

Under Tan Mu's deliberate concealment, Qiao Yan seemed to disappear out of thin air in the imperial capital without leaving a trace.

Coincidentally, the park that Qiao Yan went to was very small and old, so there was no camera installed at the intersection near the gate of the park, which was a natural blind spot.So the last clue that Qiao's family found was that Qiao Yan went to the rockery in the park alone.He dealt with his last remaining money like a will, and then disappeared.

"Impossible! When a person dies, there will be a corpse, and if a person is alive, he will definitely be able to find his whereabouts. It is impossible to disappear without a trace! Look for it, go to all the hospitals. If there is no one in the capital, go to the outside of the capital. Yanan must be someone He was rescued. Someone must have rescued him!" In the old house, Qiao Jing almost collapsed.

At the moment when he knew that Qiao Yan had the intention of seeking death, Qiao Jing finally started to regret it belatedly.
