Lu Weifu upstairs
Chapter 65
Xu Yihan didn't even remember how he and Deng Yuan rushed out of the house. When he realized it, he had already turned the steering wheel and drove into the night at four o'clock in the morning.
It turns out that there can be so few cars on the road, and the street lights stretch into the distance one by one, and the surroundings are as quiet as the end of the world, but they will never reach the end.
——For a moment Xu Yihan even really hoped that they would never reach the end.
He remembered what he said to Deng Yuan when he was lying on the bed before falling asleep, he said, there is nothing you can do.He said that if her parents really called the police, it would be even more troublesome.He said, sister, you have done your best.He said these words, and there are more things that he didn't say. For example, can you help her, can you help everyone?Help is endless.For example, sister, I know you are kind, but you have to know that excessive idealism is equivalent to moths flying into a flame, which is not only unromantic but also very tragic.
He could say a hundred or a thousand sentences to dissuade Deng Yuan, at that time, and at this moment.But he couldn't say anything, not only couldn't say it, but also felt a suffocating guilt-he found that he often felt guilty when he was with Deng Yuan.It wasn't him who caused Xiao Kong to jump off the building, he was right, he even fought for Xiao Kong indirectly, but guilt still surged up like a spring, he thought it would be fine if he didn't say those words, even though those words Doesn't do any real harm, but it would be nice if he didn't say those things.
"Sister," Xu Yihan said with difficulty, "Don't be afraid. Didn't Dr. Li say that Xiao Kong... isn't the problem too big?"
Deng Yuan's gaze was straight, as if he was in a daze, and he has always looked like this since he got in the car.
Xu Yihan continued: "Sister, can I tell you one thing? I have no one to say except you."
"...What?" Deng Yuan finally had a reaction.
"Today—no, yesterday—I fired a female employee. She leaked company secrets and maliciously attacked our authors. In short, she made a mistake." Xu Yihan frowned, and ran a red light, "But her hand There are also some company secrets. When I fired her, I was afraid that she would go out and talk nonsense, so I threatened her."
"I told her, how did Haosheng—another literary website—be bought by the Xu family? At the beginning, the founder of Haosheng was determined not to sell the website. They were a very young couple. Later, the Xu family I found two businessmen who had a good relationship with Haoshengnan, and introduced him to some investment projects. At first, these projects were very profitable, and Haosheng, who made a lot of money, began to invest more and more funds in it. It didn’t take long , he lost money and owed more than 300 million in debt.”
"The debts of usury are getting bigger and bigger. At that time, the profitability of the Internet company was not as good as it is now. The couple had no choice but to sell Haosheng to the Xu family. In fact, it was set up by the Xu family from the beginning to the end. Bureau——is set up by my elder brother Xu Yize."
Deng Yuan: "You..."
"I told this story to the female employee. I told her that the Xu family can clean up even Haosheng's boss. It is not easy to clean up a girl from other places? The Xu family can make her unable to find a job again, and even Send her to jail — and I gave her some money and told her she had to leave Shanghai and never set foot in this circle again. She freaked out and agreed.”
Xu Yihan turned the corner neatly, he opened the car window a gap, and let the cold night wind pierce his face.
"Sister, am I mean? Now I regret it a bit," he said, "I don't want to bully women, especially I don't want to use power and money to bully women."
Deng Yuan's brows were tightly knit together, maybe because he was anxious about Xiaokong, maybe because he had nothing to say, in short, he didn't give Xu Yihan any answer.
Xu Yihan asked: "Sister, will you look down on me?" He knew it was not the time to say these words, but he couldn't bear it anymore——Dr. Li said that Xiaokong's problem is not serious, but who knows what the doctor said? What the hell does it look like? !He was really afraid of seeing a bloody little Kong, who was clamoring to eat hot pot when we met yesterday afternoon.If so, the words he said before falling asleep would turn into sarcasm.He doesn't want this.
So he can only confess what he said to Long Li. It is true that he regrets a little after he finished speaking, but it is far from worrying that he will be "looked down". He admits that he just needs an excuse, and he is so cowardly that he needs an excuse to get Deng Yuan's forgiveness—sister, tell me quickly, say that you will not look down on me—you say.
"Yihan, just... don't say anything else, okay?" Deng Yuan clenched his fists in pain, "I can't listen to anything."
"Well, okay," Xu Yihan paused, and said in a low voice, "But in fact, if you look down on me, you can tell it, it doesn't matter."
Deng Yuan didn't speak, just looked straight ahead.
Xu Yihan accelerated, the car was driving on the empty road as if plunged into the dark sea fog, he opened the window wider, his hair was blown back, his cheeks and body were chilly.The navigation screen was dimly lit, showing that they were only 8.7 kilometers away from the hospital.
Xu Yihan felt as if something in his chest was collapsing inch by inch, hey that's right - if Xiao Kong is fine, can I be forgiven?No, no, I will not be forgiven, from—from the moment I left Deng Xiuli and Lao Xu back to Wuhan many, many years ago, I will not be forgiven.They will never forgive me again.never again.
When he arrived at the hospital, Xiao Kong was still in the operating room.
"Broken clavicle, this child is fatal. She jumped from the third floor and was caught by the canopy on the second floor. She rolled a few times before falling back to the first floor," Dr. Li said solemnly, "You must calm down. Stop fighting with her parents."
Deng Yuan tremblingly asked: "How did she jump off the building? She jumped by herself?!"
Doctor Li looked at Deng Yuan and Xu Yihan, got up and closed the door of the duty room.
"Her mother and uncle are both asleep, and her father went to the bathroom. She took this opportunity to run away, but was caught by her father," Dr. Li sighed deeply, "the two of them wrestled for a while in the corridor, she should be In a hurry, I bit her father, turned around and jumped off—too fast, I almost caught her, but she jumped too simply."
"She must be scared...she can't do anything..." Deng Yuan muttered for a long time, his eyes were red.
Xu Yihan wanted to put his arms around Deng Yuan's shoulders, but he couldn't raise his hands no matter what he heard his choking sound like a small animal.
After more than an hour, Xiao Kong was pushed out of the operating room.She was already thin, but now she was tightly wrapped in gauze bandages, almost like a mummy.Seeing Deng Yuan, Xiao Kong moved his lips, but remained silent.
"What are you doing here?! Our good child was deceived by you to the point of committing suicide! What are you doing here?!" Sitting at the door of the ward, Xiao Kong's mother cried loudly, "Look at all of you, my child How could you be tricked by them!"
Deng Yuan's lips were tightly tightened, and she blocked the door of the ward.
Ni Yu came over ten minutes later.Behind him was a man wearing glasses, who looked to be in his early thirties, with a plaster cast on his right hand.There is also a young woman with ponytail, small stature, and a black backpack on her back.
"Little Deng," the man wearing glasses stepped forward and patted Deng Yuan's shoulder vigorously, as if to comfort him, "The Ukrainian reporter is here."
Ni Yu introduced softly to Xu Yihan: "He is Chi Yang. The Ukrainian reporter is a reporter we knew before and has always wanted to interview us."
Xu Yihan took a few steps back and asked Ni Yu, "Why did you call the reporter?"
"We want to bring this to light, and that's the only way."
"Exposure?" Xu Yihan almost thought he heard it wrong, "Exposure is useful? They are Xiao Kong's legal guardians. If they were to be exposed, you would become illegal—an illegal social organization, do you know that?!"
"There is no other way!" Ni Yu glanced into the ward with an embarrassed expression, "If Xiao Kong is really taken back to her hometown, we may not be able to find her! Her parents will force her to marry! How can she be alone? Resist - we can only expose this matter, maybe there are other organizations that can save her!"
"Expose a fart," Xu Yihan said viciously, "Do you think the current media dare to publish it?"
"What if? What if it can be posted? There are still so many self-media - we have to help her try!"
However, as soon as Ni Yu finished speaking, Xiaokong's mother suddenly rushed towards the reporter, pushing her so that she almost fell to the ground, and the recording pen in her hand was thrown several meters away.
"What are you doing you!" Xiaokong's mother screamed.
"Calm down, I'm a reporter, here's my press card—"
And Xiao Kong's mother waved her hand fiercely, and the Ukrainian reporter's press card also flew out.Deng Yuan quickly supported the black reporter, and several nurses also rushed up to stop Xiaokong's mother.At this time, Xiao Kong's father rushed out and shouted at the nurse: "We are leaving the hospital! Get out now! Your hospital is killing people!"
Ni Yu gritted her teeth and said to Xu Yihan, "What else can we do?!"
What else can I do, why not let it go.The status quo is like this, the law is like this, what else can you do, be soft, you group of idealists who hit a pebble with a pebble.
But—but that girl was going to be taken away, taken to a place where they couldn't find her, and married to a man she had never met before—that wasn't marriage, that was rape.
—There is no idealism, only the desperate struggle of the helpless.
There was chaos in front of him, Xu Yihan felt his brow bone twitch, and there was a faint "hum—" from the back of his head, like the sound of gold and stone colliding.
He stepped forward, pushed aside the crowd, and said to Xiao Kong's father, "Come with me."
The man stood still, with a suspicious look on his face: "What are you doing?"
"I can't lose you."
After turning two corners, at the door of the dispensing room, Xu Yihan said, "How much dowry can you get if you marry her off? I'll give an extra [-]."
At 06:30 in the morning, the sky was bright, and the hospital gradually became lively.
Xiaokong's parents and uncle have already left.
Xu Yihan smoked one puff at a time downstairs in the inpatient department, looking indifferently at the patients and doctors passing by.
"Yihan!" Deng Yuan's voice suddenly sounded behind him, "How much did you give him?!"
Xu Yihan turned around slowly, and smiled: "Sister, you know, I have money."
Deng Yuan: "But we—"
"It's really okay," Xu Yihan stretched out his hand to trim Deng Yuan's hair, and said in a gentle voice, "Okay, I'm going to work, and you can stay with that child again."
Deng Yuan seemed to want to say something, his throat moved, but he didn't say anything.
On the way to the hospital, Xu Yihan's one-sided confession seemed to have disappeared with the night.He felt a long-lost relief that he had been forgiven for giving up.The chest cavity seemed to have collapsed completely, the ribcage was soft and collapsed, and the lung lobes shrank into a ball.He hurriedly bought a cup of hot soy milk from the breakfast stand, and swallowed gulp down his throat, as if he could barely support his body.
The first news Xu Yihan heard when he came to the company was: Last night, Lu Weifu updated [-] words in one go, and the reward amount set a new record since the start of the competition.
The second news is that Xu Yize was brought by Lao Xu to attend a certain business forum.
Xu Yihan clutched his phone and sat for a moment, then sent Deng Yuan a WeChat message:
Sister, you go to download the APP "Crab Leg Live", and then register an anchor account.
18, he gave 18 to that couple, but it was not for that couple, but for Deng Yuan.Deng Yuan would not refuse him, nor could he.
It turns out that there can be so few cars on the road, and the street lights stretch into the distance one by one, and the surroundings are as quiet as the end of the world, but they will never reach the end.
——For a moment Xu Yihan even really hoped that they would never reach the end.
