"It's not surprising that you guessed that he has a wife. But how can you be sure that he has a child and that his child is sick? This is really amazing!"

"It's actually very simple. The shoes on that man's feet are of a relatively famous brand, but they were made two years ago. The soles of the shoes are severely worn, and he is still wearing them. He should be reluctant to change them. If you can afford shoes of that brand, at least Life was fine two years ago."

The female staff thought about it carefully, but she couldn't remember what kind of shoes the man was wearing.Just a pair of shoes can't prove that a man had a good life before.

As if guessing what the female staff was thinking, Ian continued, "The clothes on his body are old, and the pants are stained a lot, but the quality is acceptable. There are many calluses on his hands, but his fingers are clean and his nails are neatly trimmed. It's not a slob per se. These are signs that his standard of living is declining."

"So you speculated that something happened to his family?" The female staff quickly responded.

"That's right, this is the most reasonable explanation. The mistress of the family doesn't have the heart to take care of housework because of this. As for the accident, there is a high probability that someone is seriously ill."

"Why not his wife, but the child?"

"I first tried to say that he loves his wife very much. He subconsciously moved his left ring finger, which was relatively normal. Later, when he mentioned the child, he became nervous and deliberately avoided my sight."

"From this you venture to guess that his child is seriously ill."

Ian nodded.

"But he is carrying a gun. No one dares to say anything. You still negotiate with him so calmly, and he even broke your head. You are not afraid of him..." The female staff member didn't finish her sentence, her expression frightened.

"So I tested him with a pregnant woman first to see if there was any possibility of negotiation. If this fails, there won't be too much loss. Fortunately, it was the result I wanted in the end. Although he beat me, he still agreed to let go. The concern of the pregnant woman also shows that he has compassion."

"It's really timely that the pregnant woman is uncomfortable." The female staff said happily.

"She is cooperating with me."

"Ah?" The female staff looked surprised, she didn't see it at all.

"Everyone is fine, it's not because of me alone, it's because of our cooperation that we can get through this crisis. If you hadn't confirmed in time that there is a rescue fund, that man wouldn't have believed me so easily. You are the hero behind the scenes. "

"Oh, Mr. Ian, I'm going to feel embarrassed when you say that." The female staff member didn't feel that she had done anything, but she still blushed when she was praised, and she couldn't help feeling elated.

"Don't be humble." The female staff was a bit scared at first, but later they performed really well.At that time, Ian was also sweating, originally just to avoid talking to himself, so as to win the trust of the robbers.I didn't expect the female staff to cooperate perfectly, so he didn't need to waste any more words.

"Hey, it's just that man..." The female staff member sighed, showing sympathy, "He went to jail, how sad his wife and children would be when they found out, and he was also forced to do so."

"Isn't the main purpose of my going to the bank today to talk about the rescue fund?" Ian blinked.

"Ah!" The female staff screamed, realizing that this was a hospital, she quickly covered her mouth, and looked around, but she couldn't hide the surprise on her face.starting....

"Mr. Ian, is this real? Am I not dreaming?"

"My lawyer will contact you tomorrow, kind—" Ian looked at the sign on the female staff's chest.

"Good Miss Erica, would you like to help that poor little girl?"

"Oh, my God! My God!" The female staff used her hand as a fan, trying to cool herself down, so that she could calm down. "I would, of course I would."

It happened that there was a knock on the glass door, and it was the white male who claimed to be a lawyer.

"Ah, you're here too, did you know?" The female staff stood up excitedly, "Mr. Ian asked me to take charge of the relief fund, the little girl is saved."

"Please pour this beautiful lady a glass of water, or she will faint." Ian shook his head funny.

The white man poured a glass of water and handed it to the female staff as promised.

"Thank you!" The female staff drank half of the glass in one gulp, holding the water glass and continued to sigh: "If the police hadn't broken down the door in time and stopped the robbers, I would really suspect that they are a bunch of dry food. The robbers have tied us up for so long, Except for surrounding the bank, there is no response at all, so I try to find a way to negotiate terms with the robbers.”

"What do you think this is?" Ian took out a small bluetooth headset from his right ear.

"Bluetooth headset?" The female staff stared, unable to turn her head for a while.

"They forgot to take my phone."

"You called the police?" The female staff member was even more surprised, "You were with me before you were tied up, and you didn't call the police at all."

"I'm going to ask this." Ian glanced at the white male.

"I called 911."

"Let me think about it, let me think about it." The female staff put down the water glass and walked around the room.Finally, her eyes lit up.

"Oh, I see, you called the police before speaking for the pregnant woman." The more the female staff thought about it, the more likely it was, "911 must have thought it was just a first aid incident at first, and soon heard you asking the robber to untie her , check the location, and transfer the call directly to the command post outside. Every word you say has a purpose. You have negotiated with the robbers and told the police outside about the situation of the hostages and kidnappers, so they have never No movement. Because they are waiting for the best time to rescue, which is your order."

"Miss Erica's reasoning talent is top-notch, and she perfectly demonstrated the whole process." Ian praised.

"Oh my god, dear Mr. Ian, you must not be humble. You controlled the audience brilliantly under such circumstances, and I was fortunate enough to watch the whole process." admiration.

"It turns out that all the coincidences are carefully designed." The female staff was immersed in self-imagination for a while.

The white man stretched out his hand towards Ian, who was half leaning on the hospital bed: "Mr. Ian, hello, I am Charlie Ashburn, a lawyer. I wonder if I would be honored to join the rescue plan together."

Ian raised an eyebrow.A man with clear eyes is not a person with low moral character.It's just that Ian still remembered how neatly the man tied him up, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Send your resume to my email later."

Charlie Ashburn beamed a little.

"Great, today is really a fantastic day, and there are bedtime stories for the next few days." After going through a life-and-death test together, and hearing that it is possible to work together in the future, the female staff was very happy.

"Miss Erica's family must be very worried, we should go back to rest earlier." Ian thoughtfully suggested.

"then you……"

"I'm fine, someone will pick me up later." Ian showed a conciliatory smile, "Replenish your energy so that you can start the relief fund early."

The two exchanged contact information, and Erica reluctantly left the ward.

"I will go to the police station later, and I will send the robber's information to Mr. Ian's mailbox later."

"It's work."

Charlie Ashbourne closed the door softly and left too.

Ian made a phone call and soon followed him out of the hospital.

Finally getting rid of the media and enthusiastic fans, Steve inquired about the hospital where Ian was, and rushed here without daring to delay for a moment.

Yes, run!Steve felt that he could run faster than the slow-moving traffic.

Panting slightly, Steve rushed to the emergency room. There were beads of sweat on his forehead. He didn't know whether he was anxious or tired.

"Hello, please check which ward Ian is in?" Before the nurse could ask, Steve spoke very quickly: "I'm his friend, and he was injured as a hostage in a bank robbery."

There was only one hostage injury case today. The nurse had heard about the thrilling robbery and was deeply impressed by Ian.

"Sorry, he just left."

"His head was injured, why did you allow him to leave casually?" Steve, who was concerned but chaotic, unconsciously questioned his words.

"This gentleman, I'm sorry, that Mr. Ian strongly requested to be discharged from the hospital. Our doctor also made a professional diagnosis and believed that it is not necessary to stay in the hospital for observation." Although the nurse's tone was blunt, seeing Steve's face For the sake of anxiety, he kindly explained.

Steve's shoulders relaxed, and his whole body seemed to be taken out of energy. He realized that his attitude just now was not good, "Sorry."

The nurse ignored it and lowered her head to sort out the cases in her hand.After sorting out the case, when he looked up, there was a big man standing beside him in a daze.

"Why are you still here?"

"I..." Steve paused before saying, "Did he leave his contact information or address when he registered for admission?"

"Sir, I'm sorry. The hospital does not allow casual disclosure of patients' privacy." The nurse replied in a businesslike manner, and finally couldn't help but add suspiciously, "Aren't you his friend?"

Steve barely pulled the corners of his mouth, showing a smile that was uglier than crying: "We were separated for many years before, and today we met again by accident."

The nurse sighed. The colleague happened to be away at the moment, and she spoke in a low voice very fast: "He came in a hurry, he didn't register his contact information and address, and he had to make up for it later, but he left immediately .” This is not a breach of privacy.

"Thank you!" Steve smiled wryly.

The tall and strong back is indescribably fragile, and the whole body is surrounded by an aura of despair.The nurse who didn't know what to make up in her head shook her head, and continued to sort out the materials.

Steve sat on a bench in the hospital, staring blankly at the doctors and patients who came and went.

On the way here, he thought that maybe he really had the wrong person.

Although the two were [-] to [-]% similar, with the same hair color, skin color, and even the pair of light brown eyes, this Ian's facial features were more prominent, and his whole temperament was different from the Ian he knew.

The Ian he knew had a brighter smile and more vitality, just like the warm sun in winter, making people unconsciously want to get close to him.And this Ian, who is older and more mature, has an air of dignity and alienation, obviously not easy to get close to.It's just that his natural good upbringing makes him look gentler, or a gentleman's polite.

Even though he knew in his heart that it was not the same person, Steve rushed over immediately when he saw that he was injured, wanting to make sure that he was all right.

However, with the same name and extremely similar face, Steve couldn't completely convince himself that this was just a coincidence, and he couldn't help but have a glimmer of expectation: Maybe there was a certain connection between the two.

Judging by Ian's age, it might be of that bloodline, and it is quite normal for future generations to use the names of the predecessors to commemorate the predecessors.After all, that Ian was so popular with girls back then. If he wanted to, young girls all over Brooklyn would agree to his dates.

Perhaps in a certain night, somewhere he didn't know, an accident gave birth to a little life.That Ian's sudden death made that unexpected little life lose his father forever.

Just thinking of this possibility, Steve's heart felt inexplicably stuffy, as if stuffed with a ball of cotton, and he was indescribably uncomfortable.They were so good back then, and they used to...

Thinking of this, Steve stood up, shook his head violently, and left as quickly as when he came, but his back was inexplicably flustered.
