Cheng Ruoke flinched instinctively, put her finger in her mouth and licked it, the bleeding stopped, but the pain was still there.

"Did he say he was my adoptive father?" Cheng Xu wanted to make sure, after all, Lin Cancan didn't see Cheng Xu.

"No, it was Ling Long who came to buy clothes. I happened to meet him. He has been at the door of the store for several days, and he never came in to ask for you."

"Are you still there?" Cheng Ruoke asked.

"He has already left. I think he seems to have been wandering for a long time, like living in a house with a bank ATM. I bought him food for the past two days."

Cheng Ruoke felt very uncomfortable.

This person who has faded out of life for a long time unexpectedly appeared like this.

Come back to her as a beggar.

What are you doing with her?Continue to squeeze her and beat her, want to use her as an adopted daughter?
Cheng Ruoke couldn't sit still anymore.

"JJ, take care of the company, I'll go to the store."

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Cheng Ruoke's face was not looking well, JJ asked concerned.

"Nothing." Cheng Ruoke left in a hurry.

Because Fang Yue was released, Zhan Leyan was worried that Cheng Ruoke would go out alone, so he sent two bodyguards to follow her. It was noon, and knowing that Cheng Ruoke would not go out, the two bodyguards went out for dinner.

When they came back, Cheng Ruoke had already left for half a day.

The two looked at each other and immediately drove to the store.

In case something happened along the way, they couldn't explain it to Zhan Zong.

Cheng Ruoke was driving the car, feeling complicated all the way.

After disappearing for so long, Cheng Xu turned into a beggar?

How did he get here?
Even if she hated him again, Cheng Ruoke was still a little touched after hearing the news.

The former big boss now actually sleeps in a self-service bank and eats meals given by others. How does a person like him who shames his face and dignity do it?
When they arrived at the store, Cheng Xu had already left, and Cheng Ruoke asked Lin Cancan to take her to the self-service bank to find someone.

When Lin Cancan led Cheng Ruoke to the 24-hour self-service bank, the bank security in the lobby was chasing people away.

"Go, go, go, you've been living here for several days, which seriously affects customers' withdrawal of money and affects the image of our bank. Hurry up and go, if you don't go, call the police to take you away!"

"I'm here to look for my daughter. If you find me, I'll leave. Just let me stay for two more days, just two days." Cheng Xu stretched out two rough and blackened fingers.

"No, you can leave now, hurry up!" The security guard stepped forward and pushed Cheng Xu, who staggered and fell on the ground.

He struggled to get up, holding his heart and coughing.

"It's cold and I'm sick again, can't you let me stay here for two more days, who was raised by a father and a mother! Is there any need to be so indifferent!" Cheng Xu said angrily.

"Hey! You're still hooked on me, go wherever you like, don't pretend to be pitiful to me!"

The security guard raised his hand and was about to hit Cheng Xu.

"Stop!" Cheng Ruoke's heart was tumbling emotionally, as if waves were hitting her nerves vigorously.

This picture was so different from the previous Cheng Xu that she was stunned for a moment.

The security guard who heard the voice saw Cheng Ruoke standing behind him, and thought he was meddling.

"Ma'am, this is a tramp. Staying here will affect the image of the bank. I just want to drive him away." The security guard saw that Cheng Ruoke was dressed in decent clothes, and he knew that he was a respectable person, so he didn't dare to offend him.

Cheng Xu turned his head and saw Cheng Ruoke at a glance.

"I don't want to stay anymore, my daughter is here to pick me up from your poor little place!" As he spoke, he walked towards Cheng Ruoke.

"Is she your daughter? Did you escape from a mental hospital? What a lunatic!" The security guard tried to stop Cheng Xu from approaching Cheng Ruoke and Lin Cancan.

"This is my daughter. If you don't believe me, you can ask her. I said my daughter will come to pick me up. Ruoke, you are finally here!" Cheng Xu had already walked in front of Cheng Ruoke.

When Cheng Ruoke looked at Cheng Xu up close, the visual impact was even greater.

His hair has grown a lot, and it is gray, as if it has not been washed for a long time, it is completely knotted, his beard is very long, his face is very dark, with many wrinkles, and his bulging stomach has almost disappeared. Eyes, Cheng Ruoke could hardly believe that this person was Cheng Xu.

"Ruoke, I'm Dad." Seeing Cheng Ruoke's vigilant look, Cheng Xu raised his hands and brushed his hair away from his forehead.

Even the voice has changed.

Cheng Ruoke took a step back, looked at Cheng Xu, and asked after a while, "You...how did you become like this?"

Cheng Xu sighed, walked to the steps outside the self-service bank and sat down, dejected.

"It's a long story to say. Ever since I assisted the procuratorate in solving Fang Qingshan's case, I was released after being imprisoned for a while. There are debt collectors everywhere, and people who want to cut off my arms and legs. I am penniless, and I dare not go out to work, so I have no choice but to be a beggar..."

As Cheng Xu said, the circles of his eyes slowly turned red.

Lin Cancan stood behind Cheng Ruoke, tears were about to fall.

"It's because you trust Li Meiqin and Li Chuqing too much." Cheng Ruoke said.

"Dad knows he's wrong, and now the only thing dad can rely on is you. Since I've raised you for more than 20 years, please help Dad." Cheng Xu said to Cheng Ruoke in a begging tone.

What kind of suffering did he go through to turn such an arrogant person into what he is now?
Cheng Ruoke was very sad.

On the one hand, he thinks that Cheng Xu deserved what he has fallen into today, but on the other hand, he feels distressed that he has become a beggar.

The difference in status made Cheng Xu look a little more helpless and vicissitudes than ordinary beggars at this time.

"Let's go. Go back and talk." Cheng Ruoke turned around and walked towards the store.

Cheng Xu's eyes lit up, as if he had heard some great news, he got up and followed.

Seeing that Cheng Xu seemed a little weak, Lin Cancan stepped forward to support her.

"Uncle Cheng, please slow down."

"Have you eaten yet?" Cheng Ruoke suddenly stopped and turned around to ask.

Cheng Xu shook his head embarrassedly.

So Cheng Ruoke asked Lin Cancan to take someone back first, and went to the nearby restaurant to buy some food for Cheng Xu.

When Cheng Ruoke came out of the hotel, she suddenly felt that someone was staring at her behind her. She turned her head, but there was nothing.

She tapped her forehead, thinking maybe it was because Zhan Leyan told her to be careful, she was a little too nervous.

So he didn't take it seriously, and went back to the store with the food.

Lin Cancan took Cheng Xu to the bathroom to wash his face, and Cheng Xu ate the food brought by Cheng Ruoke in big mouthfuls.

"You still remember that Dad likes to eat this..." Cheng Xu choked up while eating the scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the lunch box.

"Let's eat, don't talk yet." Cheng Ruoke took a deep breath, held back the tears in her eyes, and turned to arrange the clothes on the display rack.

Two bodyguards rushed to the store, and they were finally relieved to see that Cheng Ruoke was fine.

Seeing a beggar sitting in the room, I was a little worried, so I came to ask about the situation.

"Ma'am, who is he?" the bodyguard asked warily.

"It's my adoptive father, it's okay, you guys go out first, I have something to tell him, Cancan, you should go get busy too." Cheng Ruoke sent everyone away.

Only Cheng Ruoke and Cheng Xu were left in the rest area.

After Cheng Xu had eaten, he wiped his beard and mouth with a tissue.

"It's been a long time since I was late for such a delicious meal." Cheng Xu said with a satisfied smile.

"Why did you come to me?" Cheng Ruoke asked bluntly, "We have broken away from the relationship between father and daughter."

The smile on Cheng Xu's face froze, and he avoided Cheng Ruoke's eyes in embarrassment.

Then, he said in a low voice and hoarsely: "You said, besides you, who else can I turn to now? I am sick, and I am afraid that I will die outside, so I can only come to you."

"What disease?" Cheng Ruoke asked.

"Lung cancer was detected when I was in the detention center, and now it's getting worse. I don't think I can last long. Ruoke, I don't have any other requirements. I just hope that I can die at home and not leave my body in the wilderness. Eaten by wild dogs..."

As he said that, Cheng Xu was already in tears.

Cheng Ruoke's eyes were red, looking at Cheng Xu like this, her heart felt like a knife.

Dozens of years of life, ups and downs, and old age, is nothing more than such a requirement.

It's good to be able to sleep peacefully...

We can't take anything with us. The only thing that can accompany us to the end, and the one that makes it hard for us to let go, is the family.

"I'll take you to the hospital." Cheng Ruoke said, wiping away tears.

"No, I owe so much debt, as long as I show up, I will be targeted. I don't want to cause you any trouble." Cheng Xu lowered his head and rubbed his hands together.

"It's okay to take you to Zhanjia's hospital."

Cheng Ruoke drove the car by herself, let Cheng Xu sit in the car of two bodyguards, first went to cut his hair and shaved his beard, and then took him to the hospital.

Cheng Ruoke can enter and exit the Zhan family's hospital naturally, not to mention cumbersome queuing to get a number.

She took Cheng Xu directly to the doctor's office.

Seeing Cheng Ruoke, the doctor stood up respectfully to greet him.

"Ma'am, why are you here when you have time?" The respiratory doctor greeted Cheng Ruoke.

"Sorry to bother you, this gentleman seems to have a problem with his lungs, I'll bring him over to have a look." Cheng Ruoke called Cheng Xu this gentleman.

Cheng Xu froze for a moment, and sat on the chair in front of the doctor.

"Okay, come here first, and I'll listen to you."

The doctor auscultated Cheng Xu, and then his face suddenly became serious.

"It doesn't seem very good, I have to take a film to confirm the diagnosis."

Cheng Xu put down his clothes and coughed vigorously a few times.

"No need to check, I know I have lung cancer, I just want to know how long I can live." Cheng Xu asked.

The doctor looked at Cheng Ruoke, and said with a embarrassed smile: "Old man, this... I can't say, I still need to take a film to see the condition before I can confirm whether it is benign. If it is benign, maybe I can do it after surgery." OK."

The bodyguard took Cheng Xu to take a film, and then waited for the result. Cheng Ruoke sat in the doctor's office and waited quietly.

The test results were first transmitted to the doctor's computer using the hospital's system.
