Crown

Sensing Fu Wenyuan's gaze, Ning Shuda took a step forward with his eyes down, saluted neatly, and shouted "Hello, Chief" with full of air.The corridor on the top floor was empty, and there were not many people. He could even faintly hear the echo when he shouted.

Fu Wenyuan hummed, looked at him, and said, "Shuda?"

Ning Shuda exerted all his strength, his shoulders collapsed, his expression was awkward, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Second brother."

The recent contacts on Fu Wenyuan's mobile phone were all about him, and the indignant messages filled the text box, and one message was longer than the other.Fu Wenyuan only clicked on the first one, and he wanted to use flashbacks to write the history of Yunxi's half-month stay in Fu Zhai's blood and tears.Now that we've met, he doesn't speak anymore.

"When did you come back? Have you seen Yue Ling?"

Ning Shuda said: "I was transferred to the guard at home last September, and I'm going back to school soon in March."

Thinking about it carefully, that "Hello, Chief" seems really familiar.The number of times he went back to the compound was not infrequent, but he never paid attention to the orderlies standing guard.

Fu Wenyuan looked Ning Shuda up and down again. He was taller than the well-behaved young master of the Ning family in his memory. He looked really embarrassed at this time, and the tension on his body was exactly the same as the last one three years ago.

Earlier, Ning Shuda had a relationship with his aunt's eldest son, Jiang Yueling, and they broke up after a few years of vigor and vitality, and the breakup was not peaceful.

He patted Ning Shuda on the shoulder, and said, "That's all for now, go back to take a shower and rest now, I'll let you go on leave, and return to work in two days."

This was an order from the officer, Ning Shuda raised his voice and answered yes, and walked towards the elevator.When he waited for the elevator stall, he turned his head and wanted to see Yunxi lying in the intensive care unit, but he was too far away, and only saw a reflective glass wall.

The attending doctor said some more about Yunxi's condition, and left, taking the same elevator with the meeting recorder, and going downstairs with Ning Shuda.Other security personnel guarded the stairwell and the elevator entrance, and only Fu Wenyuan and Li Wei were left outside Yunxi's ward, standing outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, one in front and one behind.

"gentlemen……"

After the story had already been finished, Fu Wenyuan waved his hand to signal Li Wei to be quiet.

Yunxi was lying motionless, and it was difficult to see the ups and downs of his chest, as if he didn't even breathe.The indicator light of the ventilator standing beside the bed flickered, showing that it was working as usual, and at the same time confirming that this person was still alive.

No one expected that in just a few days, Yunxi would experience a speed of life and death.

The doctor surnamed Song said just now that Yunxi didn't breathe on his own, and even every heartbeat maintained by the medicine seemed reluctant.Suddenly strong and sometimes weak, once and for all.

A group of experts and professors in the city's internal medicine department were tossed hard by him, and everyone's electrocardiogram was almost the same.

"I haven't signed the agreement to terminate the adoption relationship, and it is not effective. Let him stay safely in the city's first hospital. Don't seal the news, ask them to inquire: Yunxi fell into the water and suffered a heart attack. The situation is urgent. The operation started on the way to Shiyi, and the second half was completed in Shiyi. As for the so-called 'interrupted and torn halfway' said by the doctor, it is just a rumor, half true and false, let them guess for themselves."

Fu Wenyuan's gaze was always on Yunxi, and his tone was neither slow nor urgent, "After Yunxi's condition stabilized, he was transferred to Lingdu for follow-up recuperation, and all the relevant files followed him. All the medical staff who had contact with him in the city will be promoted appropriately. Salary increase, no transfer from the hospital within three years, no participation in scientific research exchange conferences outside this city, no publication of articles related to Yunxi’s condition or similar, resignation and advanced studies are not counted. Take it easy and don’t alarm people. "

Li Wei clenched his fists tightly, his cheeks were red, and his head could not be lowered any lower.

These words were not what Fu Wenyuan should have said to him.But Fu Wenyuan said, like a kindergarten teacher treats young children, with a gentle and meticulous attitude.Every word and every word seemed to be slapped fiercely in the face with a sharp wind.

After finishing speaking, Fu Wenyuan patted him on the shoulder, just like what he did to Ning Shuda just now, but his strength decreased a lot, "There is Yue Ling in Lingdu, the rest of your job is to take care of the city. It's over."

It means that he will no longer be used in the future.

Li Wei tremblingly said: "Sir, I know I was wrong."

Fu Wenyuan shook his head: "The second child of the Li family, the year before last, when you were appointed as the deputy county magistrate, your brother approached the old lady and asked me to take you with her. The old lady said it herself, and you are from the same family, so I agreed. Two years Come down, you’ve done a good job, and it’s time. Just think about it after you’re done with it and before you go on the road: there’s black and white in the dye vat, and there’s a lot of right and wrong. Innocent. But as a subordinate, as a social official, as a weak elder, in the face of human life, which line and which person do you follow? If you really want to say, I am not as old as you, and I am also groping. Maybe you think After finishing it, our opinions are still different, that’s okay, the paths we take are very different. But you have to understand that although people often say that all roads lead to Rome, it’s not true, because there are many stories in the world that are completely different from each other. , May you and I always take this as a warning.”

The two have worked together for more than two years and five months, and many things have been seen through without telling the truth. It is the first time that Fu Wenyuan has such a long conversation with him.

As a subordinate, you should always remember who you are loyal to.It is "he", not "his" family.On this point, Li Wei was wrong; as a social official, he should strictly abide by the law, and human life is not the bottom line.On this point, Li Wei was also wrong; as a weak elder, he should be cared for, and at worst, he should not be allowed to die.On this point, Li Wei was completely wrong.

He was too eager to imitate Fu Wenyuan's indifference, but he ignored the real and inappropriate tenderness in this person.

No matter who the victim was in this incident, Fu Wenyuan dared not use him anymore.

For the past three days, Ning Shuda stayed at the entrance of the ICU and dared not sleep. He lay on the big bed in the high-end apartment and couldn't sleep all night.

Ning Shuda suddenly pushed away the doctor in the operation like a mad cow, snatched Yunxi into his arms, and threatened to stop with a knife. The bloody appearance flashed before Li Wei's eyes from time to time.

One very dark morning, when the stench of power engulfed him completely, and for that hour he was not like himself—not even a person, but more like a puppet of power.

"In the past few days, I have been thinking that Yunxi was brought out of the orphanage by my hands. He... I shouldn't... I was, I was..."

Fu Wenyuan took his eyes away from Yunxi's face, didn't look at Li Wei again, turned around and walked away and confessed: "Then it's hard work for you to watch carefully, and contact in time if there is a situation."

Yunxi's identity was not concealed. Three days ago, in Lingdu's ambulance, he was as light as an ant, and a little finger could crush him to death.Three days later, it changed suddenly and became a stubborn stone pressing on the hearts of all experts and professors in the city center. Its position was terrible and it could not be touched easily.

But the consultations were held round after round, and there was always no effective way.

It snowed for three days and finally stopped.A ray of sunshine pierced from behind the thick dark clouds, but the wind was too piercing, and the warmth was insignificant.

When Fu Wenyuan's car drove in through the gate, two guards saluted at the same time.The neat and resounding "Hello, Chief" was blurred through the car window, reminding people of Ning Shuda.

He is an old man of the Ning family, and he was spoiled like a little emperor. This title is especially famous among his peers. Even Fu Wenyuan has heard of it, but this person doesn't know why he got involved with Jiang Yueling when he was a teenager. together.

When the incident happened, there was already a certain posture that could not be broken up no matter what, and they made a big fuss, and finally it turned out that the Ning family had the attitude of turning a blind eye.

During that time, Fu Wenyuan could often see Ning Shuda.The child is only in the second year of high school, and every day after school, he wears his school uniform and carries a schoolbag, and runs outside the city hall to wait for Jiang Yueling.

He and Jiang Yueling walked down the steps, and Ning Shuda waved at Jiang Yueling bouncingly at the bottom. When he came to the front, he became quiet again, followed Jiang Yueling obediently with a blushing face, and kept calling, "Brother, "Second brother", they all screamed like mosquitoes.

But I don't know what happened, but Jiang Yueling got married suddenly, and this year all children were born.

After Ning Shuda had a big wedding, he went to the military academy. This was the first time Fu Wenyuan saw him in three years.

He doesn't know much about Jiang Yueling's emotional matters than others, and he only drank together a few times.But judging by Ning Shuda's way of avoiding Jiang Yue Ling today, it probably can't be regarded as a complete past.

Fu Wenyuan lost his mind thinking about the past, the driver waited for a few minutes, lowered the partition to remind him, "Sir, we are here."

"it is good."

Fu Wenyuan's father and elder brother are both out of town. If they return home early, it will be 29, and later it will be New Year's Eve.The other two uncles did not live in the old house, perhaps because of this, when Fu Wenyuan went upstairs, there was no sound in the huge mansion, only the stale aroma of wood floating in the air for years, and the faint smell of rot.

This house has been around for too long, and it looks majestic, but in fact it has long been decayed inside.Many things that are too old cannot withstand the impact of the tide of the times, so they can only hide in them year after year without seeing the light of day.

The servant led him to the tea room on the second floor. Fu Wenyuan's grandparents were there. The old lady lowered her head. Fu Mingzheng put down the teacup and tapped it twice with his crutches as a greeting. There was still a person standing by the window.

"Big brother."

Fu Zeyuan raised his chin slightly, "Wen Yuan."

The tea room faces the sun, and the room is very bright at noon. The heating is on, the humidity and temperature are just right, and the body feels good.

Fu Wenyuan sat down by himself, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup, took a sip, and said, "Good tea."

The old lady had a straight face and slammed the teacup on the table with a slap. Fu Zeyuan laughed and said, "You don't have to play tricks, just speak up if you have anything to say."

It seemed that the old lady asked him to come back to be a rescuer. Fu Wenyuan didn't do anything, but they had a big fight, so he couldn't help but also laughed.

He raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and said, "I don't know if my elder brother will come back. I didn't leave the meeting until eleven o'clock. Now it's two o'clock. I guess I will organize a study in the afternoon. If I have to go, I won't be eating at home."

Fu Zeyuan said: "28 is still going on... Where's Li Wei?"

Fu Wenyuan turned his face and asked the old lady, "Didn't he tell you?"

The old lady sighed, as if she was very helpless: "Okay, what I said at the time was to keep him for a while, and I didn't say what to do with him... If you don't want to use it, don't use it, but it's agreed, don't make trouble in the future."

Fu Wenyuan shook his head, "What did I trip him up? He left me today, and I don't know when we will meet again. I'm so free?"

"On our Li family's side, it's just him and his brother who are still able to stand out a bit." After a long silence, the old lady Li Jinshu put away her irrational arrogance, and lowered her tone, "This time I'm actually blaming me, you know."

"What about your family and my family? Look, besides you, who else would I have brought by my side?" Fu Wenyuan has always been respectful to his elders, and has never said a word or said a serious word, "Li Wei beat me today. After going out, it will be the same in the future, if you have the strength to pull Li, I know, don't worry."

The old lady waited for him to come back and asked the teacher to inquire about the crime, but after a few sentences, Fu Wenyuan always talked about him, and his attitude was good, and he didn't mention Yunxi at all.

She couldn't hold back anymore and asked, "Where's Yunxi? I ​​went to Shiyi that day, how is it now?"

But Fu Wenyuan said: "You still remember, the year my aunt came to take care of me, she was only 25, and later she gave birth to Yue Ling, she couldn't take care of breastfeeding, Yue Ling was always in poor health when he was a child, these few days..."

"What are you talking about? I'm not so confused, I remember everything. You are good enough to them, haven't you taken care of them every step of the way these years? Don't say anything else, without you, his Ling will start Can't get up?"

Fu Wenyuan wiped his hands slowly with a wet towel, and Fu Zeyuan took over the conversation: "But they drive it to make money, not to deal with such messy things as the Fu family, the Li family, the Sun family, the Wang family, or any other family."

"He was thinking about Wen Yuan, so he gave way again and again, but after the second child left this place, Ling Du had accumulated so many things, would he be the first one to be taken for surgery? If Auntie knew, Do you want to hate the surname Fu? I know you have some twists and turns. I can put aside how much I buried for you at Yueling, this is the last time—Grandma, listen to us In other words, stop reaching out to Lingdu, where the surname is Jiang and not Fu, and don’t worry about things you shouldn’t. You’re getting old, and the world really isn’t what it was 30 years ago.”

The old lady's face was red and white, and her hands were shaking after being smashed by two people who dug a hole first and then filled it with soil.In the end, I just said: "I really can't help this time, if, if it's true... what should I do if I call Qingyuan?"

Fu Zeyuan skipped this question and continued: "You asked Yunxi just now, so you should talk about Yunxi. The child was brought back by you, and Li Wei brought it back to Wenyuan. Forget it. But is it Wen Yuan’s responsibility to bring it back? When someone wakes up and knows how he got there, will Wen Yuan receive favor or revenge? Take ten thousand steps back and say, if he dies on the 24th, Just push it all to Lingdu to figure out a solution?"

Fu Zeyuan said that his mouth was dry, so he slowed down, walked up to Fu Wenyuan, took a wet towel to wipe his hands, took a sip of the tea Fu Wenyuan poured for him, and looked at the old lady.

The matter of Yunxi is not big or small.If he really died on the road, he would be considered young, but the old lady's method would be fine.But he was still alive and went to the first hospital in the city, and he would meet again in the future.

No matter how close they are, they are Fu Wenyuan's people. Being manipulated by them like that, Fu Zeyuan was afraid of hurting the relationship between her and Fu Wenyuan, so he rushed to grab her in front of Fu Wenyuan.

"I see." The old lady's face was mixed with shame and anger, and finally she turned her head with a strange expression, no longer looked at Fu Wenyuan and Fu Zeyuan, lowered her head and turned the exquisite teacup made of white jade twice, and said in a low voice: "Your grandfather punished you!" Qingyuan, she knew she was wrong, she really knew it was wrong, she went to the hospital that night, Yunxi had an operation, and the kid from the Ning family refused to let our family members go up to the top floor, so she cried in the elevator, Wen Yuan... "

Fu Wenyuan still had that easy-to-talk look, nodded after a while and said, "It's good to know what's wrong."

He refused to let go, so the old lady had no choice but to back off: "I'm still in the confinement room. I'll be locked up for five days. After I'm done, I'll send you back to your second uncle's house so that you won't be troubled by seeing him. Wait... wait until Yunxi gets out of the hospital, go back I'm here to recuperate, and I'm not afraid to run into her again."

Fu Wenyuan still said yes, with a flat face, and a very respectful and humble smile on the corner of his lips when facing the elders.

Li Jinshu was poked to the point of embarrassment by his reckless appearance, and then became angry from embarrassment, and said unscrupulously: "Second boy, just accept it as soon as you see it! It's okay, you don't care about Yunxi, do you care about Yunxi?" What kind of intentions do you have, you don’t know? You agreed, Li Wei withdrew, and we didn’t intervene in Lingdu, what else should we do?”

Fu Wenyuan said: "You and elder brother sing the red face and the other sing the bad face, what else can I do?"

He got up and put one hand in his pocket, "I have my eldest brother, my father, and my grandfather on my head, so it's not my turn to use family law on her. It's their business to send her home, how the second uncle will deal with it. But said Understood, Fu Yunxi has been on my household registration book for a day, he is Fu Wenyuan's man, it doesn't matter whether he is a son or a daughter-in-law, it's up to me, where is it someone else's turn?"

"Wen Yuan..."

He slept in Yunxi at home, and made a mess of the bedroom overnight, and the gossip had already spread.Xiao'an didn't show up at the resort all night again, and now the whole family from top to bottom, I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't know that Yunxi crawled into Fu Wenyuan's bed.

That morning that could live and freeze people to death was Fu Qingyuan, the eldest lady of the Fu family who was fearless, but she dared to treat Yunxi like that, and thought it was a tease in her heart, and it probably came from this.

But it was something that was tacitly understood at first, but he punctured it all at once, which made everyone panic with embarrassment.

It is rare for him to commit a crime, showing some frivolous and unforgiving appearance when he was in his twenties.

Originally, he shouldn't have cared so much. Before we saw each other, he thought that Yunxi would be hospitalized as long as he was hospitalized.

But in the hospital in the morning, after listening to the attending doctor explain Yunxi's condition clearly and seeing that person lying quietly, not looking angry, it seemed that he had the intention to protect his shortcomings.

Then while standing with Li Wei, the nurse went in to wipe Yunxi's body. As soon as the quilt was lifted, the bruises on the child's body from the neck down did not disappear at all. Red, half exposed, half hidden under the gauze on the heart.

After wiping the body, the nurse wanted to change the gauze, but just after removing the two layers, there were bloodstains.After he came out, the nurse carefully explained to him that it wasn't that the wound was not stitched well, but that Yunxi's heart trembled suddenly in the morning, and it ruptured due to struggling.

This is not the first time it has been ruptured, a lot of blood has flowed out, the wound has not healed, and there are faint signs of infection.
