Quick Transmigration: My Dark History
Chapter 46 The Godfather Ends
Jiang Yan was hospitalized.
He lived in the most famous private hospital under Zhou's family. Many doctors with high reputation in the hospital gathered in the conference room to discuss his CT film and past medical records, with the intention of choosing the safest treatment plan. , to continue his life.
Gastric cancer is advanced, which cannot be cured by ordinary surgery and chemotherapy.
Even if they imported some advanced technology and equipment from abroad, and invited more professional and experienced doctors in the field, they did not dare to give Xu Sheng a guarantee that the possibility of a successful cure would be high or low.
No one dared to lie to Xu Sheng.
No one dared to lie to Jiang Yan.
So after waking up in the hospital bed, he found that he had a needle in his hand and various things were attached to his body. When Jiang Yan calmly asked himself what was going on, Zhou Duan had no choice but to It is said that the cancer cells have spread and the condition has deteriorated. It is no longer possible to relieve it by taking some medicine at home.
Jiang Yan was not shocked when he heard this, and only sighed softly: "It's so fast."
Zhou Duan knew what he was sighing about.
The plan hadn't reached the final step, and the net hadn't been closed to the last piece, but he had to be hospitalized, and couldn't put all his thoughts on these things as before.
In his plan, he would be hospitalized for treatment, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Luo Zhen had just died, the Luo family had just been in chaos, Henry was still hiding somewhere in the capital, the Cambie family was still on the other side of the ocean, and countless families and forces were staring at him and the Zhou family in his hands...
There are too many things waiting for him to do, but he is lying on the hospital bed, with a posture of waiting to die.
He has been high-spirited for more than ten years, and now he can be regarded as a hero in his twilight years.
Zhou Duan had no choice but to persuade: "Young Master Zhou is here, so don't worry too much."
Jiang Yan said: "I know, I'm just worried that I will leave him a mess."
Zhou Duan said: "Everything is going according to plan, don't worry."
Jiang Yan shook his head and said nothing more.
Could Zhou Bo not know his condition?
It is precisely because he knew that he began to look for candidates for godson when he was in his 30s, and chose to start collecting the net after Luo Zhen returned to China.
He knew that he would not live long, so he thought about what should be solved before he died, and what should be cleaned up, leaving a clean place for his godson, so that the Zhou family could continue to stand together for more than ten or twenty years. Only then can he die peacefully and calmly.
However, the plan always failed to keep up with the changes, and the changes came so quickly, he had a faint sense of urgency.
Staring at the liquid dripping from the infusion tube for a while, Jiang Yan drank some water to relieve his thirsty throat after sleeping for too long, and went to the bathroom to wash up with Zhou Duan's help before asking Xu Where is Sheng?
Zhou Duan replied: "The doctors are in a meeting, and Young Master Zhou has gone to attend."
Jiang Yan smiled: "He is not a medical professional, can you understand me?"
Zhou Duan said: "Look more, ask more, and you will understand." Then he asked, "Master Zhou, do you want to eat?"
Jiang Yan said, "Can I still eat?"
Zhou Duan said: "If you feel hungry."
Jiang Yan felt a little hunger. He didn't really want to eat, but he couldn't do without food. With infusions and nutritional injections every day, he would lose weight faster and his condition would worsen.
So when Xu Sheng came back after listening to the meeting, he saw that Jiang Yan had finished his infusion and was drinking porridge.
I don't know if he understood the technical terms discussed by the doctors during the audition, and understood more clearly how far the cancer cells in Jiang Yan's body have spread, and how many days Jiang Yan can live at such a spreading speed. Xu Sheng's face looked a little pale, his brows were wrinkled, and his lips were tightly pursed. It was clearly a serious expression, but it made people feel the anxiety and pain in his heart.
He never knew that Jiang Yan's so-called "stomach disease" could actually be stomach cancer, and it was still at an advanced stage.
When Mingming was at home before, the doctor said it was just a common gastric ulcer...
While Jiang Yan was drinking porridge with his head down and didn't see him, Xu Sheng raised his hand and wiped his face, calming down his expression. When Jiang Yan looked up and saw him, his expression was already calm, no different from usual.
"You're awake." He walked over, sat down on the chair beside the hospital bed, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"
Jiang Yan said no, and motioned him to look at the two unopened lunch boxes on the dining table: "Zhou Duan said you haven't eaten yet? Let's just eat something."
"it is good."
When I opened the lunch box, I found a cage of shrimp dumplings and a cage of soup dumplings. There were also some side dishes and chili oil inside, which smelled very fragrant.Jiang Yan smoothly pushed another bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge to him, and the aroma became more intense immediately, but Xu Sheng didn't have the slightest appetite after watching and smelling it.
He took the chopsticks and ate them tastelessly, his eyes lowered, not daring to look at Jiang Yan.
I'm afraid that if I look at it one more time, my emotions will be overwhelmed.
After he finished his meal, Jiang Yan's bowl of porridge finally bottomed out.Zhou Duan asked Jiang Yan to clean up the dining table and asked Jiang Yan whether he was reading or surfing the Internet.
Jiang Yan thought about it. He had been in a coma for almost two days. The news about the Luo family should have been reported on the whole network. The other plans he had made for the Luo family before could be fully carried out.
So: "Bring the computer."
Opened the notebook, searched casually, and sure enough, there were news related to the Luo family, but no one reported the news that the head of the Zhou family was hospitalized, even on Weibo and forums, no one dared to break the news in vests.
While watching the news, he gave Zhou Duan instructions, and every sentence was orderly and perfect, as if he was still the all-powerful Lord Zhou, and the illness did not bring him any blow. It can make the whole capital tremble three times, and no one dares to catch its edge.
Xu Sheng didn't make a sound, just looked at him.
After he finished his orders, he checked the important emails that Zhou Duan had sorted out over the past two days, together with the materials he brought back from the Luo family, sorted out the plans for the Cambie family, and continued to give orders. Said: "It's not hot today. Shall I accompany you for a walk outside?"
Jiang Yan originally wanted to ask other families what their reactions were, but after hearing this, he quickly closed his notebook and agreed.
Xu Sheng sent someone to send a wheelchair and pushed him out of the ward, followed by Zhou Duan and two bodyguards.
Not many people live on this floor, and there are even fewer people in the small garden surrounded by glass.Xu Sheng pushed him to walk slowly in the path, the sun shone down from the branches and leaves, the light and shadow were dappled, neither of them spoke.
Jiang Yan asked the system: "How long can I live?"
The system calculated with fingers: "The shortest is 20 days, and the longest is 30 days."
Jiang Yan said: "Is there no definite time?"
The system said: "No, you didn't write it in your outline, and I don't know if the male god will give you chemotherapy."
If chemotherapy is effective, or if some medicine is effective, the time will be extended, so the system really cannot give a conclusion on how long you can live.
Jiang Yan said: "I heard that chemotherapy is very painful."
The system said: "I can help the host shield the pain."
Unsurprisingly, Jiang Yan refused: "No, I don't know how to undergo chemotherapy." At this moment, he seems to have really replaced Zhou Bo in the original text, with a calm appearance that has long been indifferent to life and death, without the grief of dying, and without The regret of unfulfilled ambitions, just said very plainly, "Anyway, they are going to die, why bother to suffer that crime before dying."
System: "... Sigh."
The system stopped persuading him.
It thinks that the role of Zhou Bo is really too plump and powerful.The host can write such a character design, and can play the role so well, the host must have had a lot of life experience in the years when he was a soldier.
Without a certain amount of experience, it is absolutely impossible to just rely on acting skills to cater to Zhou Bo's current psychology.
Zhou Bo's stomach cancer was only discovered a year ago.It was already late at that time.
With this one-year buffer, there is such a calm Zhou Bo today——except for Zhou Bo, who else can be so calm and calm when facing death?
At least the system monitors other critically ill patients in the hospital, none of them can do like Zhou Bo.
The system was still sighing, and felt the wheelchair stop.
It looked up, and there was a bench next to it, Xu Sheng was sitting on it, looking at its host tenderly and affectionately with his eyes.
The system was stunned to see a sadness under the tenderness and affection.
Then I heard him say to its host: "Did you know that you are not in good health?"
Jiang Yan let out a "hmm".
He added: "The last time you were at home, the doctor said you had a stomach ulcer, did you hide it from me on purpose?"
Jiang Yan said: "No, he misdiagnosed. Some symptoms of stomach cancer were like stomach ulcers. He didn't know that I had cancer."
Only he and Zhou Duan knew about the whole Zhou family.
Xu Sheng was silent.
He remembered Jiang Yan's performance when he was drinking and eating when he first arrived in the old house; and Jiang Yan sometimes had a stomach attack and was so painful that he couldn't even drink water.
Obviously...
He should have noticed something was wrong a long time ago.
Why wait until now to find out?
If it can be discovered earlier, it can be treated earlier, and the possibility of cure will be greater...
Xu Sheng thought about it for a long time.
But the fact is that he really didn't find out early, and the world information he got didn't say that Zhou Bo had cancer.
--and many more.
World data, world data...
What is the last sentence of the introduction to The Godfather?
——And all my life, I walk alone, until the end, I will be you.
walk alone?
Will be you?
Cold sweat dripped down Xu Sheng's back.
That's right, in fact, Zhou Bo's ending has already been mentioned in the introduction.
Xu Sheng walked alone all his life, and finally became a new generation of godfather.
In Xu Sheng's life, there was no Zhou Bo.
Zhou Bo died.
Zhou Bo was not with Xu Sheng.
Zhou Bo died before Xu Sheng took his place.
Huge pain filled his chest instantly, the pain was so painful that he was trembling while breathing, and his body was also trembling.Xu Sheng kept silent and pinched his palm hard, until he was about to bleed, before he forcibly calmed down and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Jiang Yan said: "Is there one more person to worry about? There is no need for that."
Xu Sheng said: "Why is there no need..."
Jiang Yan said lightly: "I know the specific condition of my body. Could it be that my illness will be cured immediately after I tell you?"
Xu Sheng stopped talking.
Jiang Yan said again: "Sooner or later, it depends on the way of death."
He said the word "death" so lightly that Xu Sheng almost gritted his teeth, and then controlled himself so that he would not lose his composure in front of him.
He is different from others.Xu Sheng tried to comfort himself, he already knew that he would not live long, so he treated death differently from others, and he could not get angry in front of him——
Even if he is really angry, it is impossible to change any of his decisions.
including how to die.
Trying to persuade himself to calm down, Xu Sheng took a deep breath and said, "Godfather, it's almost noon, it's getting hot, let's go back."
Jiang Yan said yes.
Back in the ward, there were doctors and nurses waiting to give Jiang Yan a routine checkup.The inspection process was very tedious and cumbersome, and it was finally over. Jiang Yan felt a little tired, so he didn't continue to read the notebook, and sat there with his eyes closed, with an extremely peaceful demeanor.
Nothing happened in the ward for the time being, so Zhou Duan went to the cafeteria to have lunch.The bodyguards guarding the door also changed, the door was closed, and only Jiang Yan and Xu Sheng were left in the room.
Xu Sheng is cutting fruit.
There are not many fruits that gastric cancer patients can eat, and there are only a few kinds of fruits, such as bananas, apples, and kiwis.Xu Sheng peeled the skins in the same way. First taste whether it is sour or sweet. Put the sour ones aside, and cut up the sweet ones. Pile them in small pieces in a transparent glass bowl. The fruity aroma is rich and touching. appetite.
Because he specifically asked the doctor if he could drink yogurt, after cutting a bowl full of fruit, Xu Sheng opened the box of yogurt, and the milky liquid poured over the fruit. He took an apple with a fork and brought it to Jiang Yan's mouth.
Jiang Yan still didn't want to eat.But still opened his mouth and ate the piece of apple.
The apples are very sweet, the yogurt is slightly sour, and the combination of sweet and sour is delicious.
Xu Sheng forked another banana and fed him slowly.
However, he still only ate half a bowl, so Jiang Yan stopped eating.Xu Sheng wiped off the yogurt on the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, licked it with his tongue, and it was clean.
Jiang Yan glanced at it, thinking that luckily he had brushed his teeth.
Xu Sheng cleaned up the remaining fruit, washed the dishes, and asked him if he wanted to watch a movie.
Jiang Yan said yes, Xu Sheng went to the hospital bed, sat next to him, put his notebook on the small table, clicked on a recently released movie, and the two watched it head to head.
Just after the opening title, the door opened silently, and Zhou Duan came back after eating.
Seeing that the two were watching a movie, Zhou Duan didn't bother him, took a mobile phone and sat down on the sofa, turned the ringtone to silent, and passed the time on his own.
Two hours later, when the movie was over, Xu Sheng didn't move, and motioned for Zhou Duan to come over and remove the notebook and table, because Jiang Yan leaned his head on his shoulder, breathing evenly, and fell asleep.
Zhou Duan took away the notebook, pushed the table back, and adjusted the height of the hospital bed so that the two of them were no longer sitting but lying down. Then they returned to the sofa and continued to look at their mobile phones, raising their heads from time to time. Pay attention to Jiang Yan's situation.
Xu Sheng didn't sleep for two days, his eyes were bloodshot.At this moment, he turned his head to look at Jiang Yan, looked at it, and fell asleep.
Zhou Duan's movements became lighter.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sunlight coming in from the window gradually became oblique.Soon, as the sun was setting, Jiang Yan woke up, and he opened his eyes. Before he could move, the breathing on his cheeks changed, and Xu Sheng woke up too.
Although he didn't sleep for a long time, Xu Sheng's mental state was obviously much better.He didn't get up, but only took advantage of the convenient location to kiss Jiang Yan's face, and asked him if he wanted to go to the bathroom, if he wanted to eat, and if he felt any discomfort.
Jiang Yan said he wanted to drink water.
Zhou Duan immediately poured hot water, then mixed it with cold water, tested the temperature before handing it over.
Xu Sheng sat up to take the water glass, half hugged and half hugged Jiang Yan, and slowly fed him water.
Jiang Yan stopped after drinking half a glass.Seeing that both Zhou Duan and Xu Sheng took themselves seriously and carefully like fragile porcelain, he couldn't help saying: "I'm fine, so what should you do? If I feel unwell, I will call the doctor myself."
Zhou Duan didn't speak.
Xu Sheng said: "The company and family are all fine. I don't feel at ease if someone else takes care of you."
Jiang Yan said: "Why is it all right? Didn't I just tell you?"
He meant the things that had been arranged before going to the little garden.
Xu Sheng said: "Just let other people do it." The young godson said firmly, "I have to stay here to take care of you, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
Jiang Yan said, "That's up to you."
The matter of Xu Sheng accompanying the bed was settled in this way.
The ward is divided between the inside and the outside. In addition to the very spacious hospital bed, there is another small bed, and there is also a bed outside.Zhou Duan naturally slept outside, and Xu Sheng slept inside with Jiang Yan.
But the cot inside was untouched.After taking a shower at night, Xu Sheng leaned against Jiang Yan, the two of them whispered, browsed the web and played games together, and kissed intimately, as if Jiang Yan was not sick at all, the two of them just changed the place of intimacy from home to the hospital , experience a different kind of feeling and stimulation.
He slept too much during the day, and Jiang Yan didn't fall asleep until midnight.
Seeing that he fell asleep, he would not wake up in a short time, so Xu Sheng lay down for a while, then got up and got out of bed.When they walked outside, Zhou Duan was still awake, and the two sat together, smoking silently facing each other.
After smoking a cigarette, Xu Sheng twisted the cigarette butt, put it in the ashtray, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Yan was hospitalized for two days, and there is still no news from the outside world. It is all due to Zhou Duan's single-handed control, so that even the elders of the Zhou family don't know that the family member is seriously ill and hospitalized, and nothing has happened so far.
Zhou Duan shook his head and said nothing.
Xu Sheng added: "He didn't finish what he said during the day. We have to find a suitable time to spread the word about his hospitalization and make arrangements in the dark. That's what he wants."
Zhou Duan said: "I understand, please rest assured, Young Master Zhou."
The two of them didn't talk anymore.
After smoking the second cigarette, Xu Sheng went into the room, chewed gum, and brushed his teeth for the second time tonight. After making sure that there was no smell of smoke in his mouth, he lay down next to Jiang Yan again, and fell asleep with his arms around him.
Zhou Duan also fell asleep.
The bodyguards dutifully guarded the door, and the night passed like this.
……
Five days later.
Knowing that many of the companies under the Luo family were successfully acquired by the Zhou family, and the rest of the companies either declared bankruptcy or were divided up by other family forces. A bottle of red wine to celebrate, but Xu Sheng wouldn't let him touch even a drop of wine. He could only choose to drink a glass of juice to express his inner joy.
The Luo family finally solved it.
There was one Cambie family left, he thought—
A few days later, Jiang Yan was taking a nap when he vaguely heard voices coming from outside.
Someone said to Xu Sheng: "Henry's most valued daughter has been imprisoned."
Xu Sheng said, "The illegitimate daughter?"
The man said, "Yes, Henry wants to train her to take Blanche's place."
Xu Sheng said, "How could we be punished? We didn't do anything."
The man said: "According to what I found, it seems that Zhou Yun moved his hand."
Xu Sheng: "...Zhou Yun?"
"It seems to be her. I don't know. She hides too deeply, and my people can't find out."
"It should be her. Except for her, no one would use such a method."
"Yes, I'm 80.00% sure it's her."
Xu Sheng groaned, but did not speak.
The man said, "Henry didn't find out either. He thought Master Zhou had someone do it, and he wanted to meet Master Zhou."
Xu Sheng said, "Let him come to the hospital."
The man complied, then the door opened and he left.
After the people left, Xu Sheng stayed outside for a while before opening the door to come in.
Seeing Jiang Yan looking at him with half-opened eyes, Xu Sheng was neither surprised nor flustered, and just said, "You heard everything."
Jiang Yan: "Yeah." Then he said, "There's no need to check any more, Zhou Yun did it."
Xu Sheng said, "You know?"
Jiang Yan said: "Well. She is not normal now, and it is normal for her to be able to do such a thing."
Xu Sheng said, "I'll send someone to visit the nursing home."
Jiang Yan didn't refuse, and said, "Henry is here, remember to call me."
Xu Sheng said yes.
Henry came that evening.
When he came, Jiang Yan was having dinner.
As the final stage approached, Jiang Yan's appetite not only didn't get worse, but got better and better.In addition, he didn't agree to chemotherapy or surgery, and he knew he was ready to face death, and the doctors didn't say anything, they just let him eat whatever he wanted, and didn't let Xu Sheng get too attached to him.
So today's dinner is quite rich, Peking duck, mapo tofu, West Lake vinegar fish, drunken crab, and a soup. Henry had only eaten before coming, but looking at the delicious and fragrant Chinese food in front of Jiang Yan, he actually felt hungry again.
Jiang Yan looked up at him, and asked Zhou Duan to bring a pair of chopsticks and a bowl: "Sit down."
Henry moved a chair and sat down. He was very skilled in holding chopsticks. Obviously, he often went to Chinese restaurants.
Several people ate in silence, no one spoke.
Henry originally wanted to take advantage of the Chinese habit of talking about things during meals to ask Jiang Yan why he attacked his daughter, but seeing her pale face, his throat moved, but he still kept his mouth shut.
Jiang Yan has not shown up for nearly two weeks.
Henry roughly knew that he was ill, otherwise Xu Sheng would not have let him come to the hospital.But he didn't expect that Jiang Yan had cancer, and he couldn't live long.
A strange emotion arose in him.
The last time I saw Mr. Zhou, he was still indifferent, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he was a person who was about to die.
The world is impermanent, and this sentence is indeed true.
After the meal, Zhou Duan asked someone to bring dessert after the meal.When the dessert was almost eaten, Jiang Yan asked: "You came here today, what's the matter?"
Henry moved his lips and said without hesitation, "Mr. Zhou, please be merciful and don't do that kind of thing to my daughter again. There is an old saying in China that says 'the crime is not as good as your parents, and the disaster is not as good as your wife and children' , my daughter is still young, I hope Mr. Zhou can let her go."
Jiang Yan said lightly: "Zhou Duan's younger sister is still young and just started high school. I hoped that you would let her go."
Henry's complexion changed.
Jiang Yan continued: "We are all people from the same road, and we all know what to do and what not to do." He raised his eyes to look over, and the gaze under the silver-rimmed glasses was as flat and calm as ever, making Henry feel in a trance that he had nothing to gain at all. Cancer, sitting in this ward is just a cover-up. "There is an old saying in China that 'your family manages your own affairs'. Luo Zhen and I are fighting in the nest, and we can't let outsiders intervene."
It's fine to intervene, and it's so much fanfare, for fear that others will not know the same.
Therefore, in terms of regional differences, many things that Chinese people insist on are always incomprehensible to foreigners.
Henry shook his hands, lowered his head, and humbly said what Mr. Zhou said was true.
After eating his dessert, Jiang Yan stretched out his hand and asked Xu Sheng to wipe his hands.He looked at Henry, and said, "Also, you have found the wrong person. It was Zhou Yun who killed your daughter, not me. You should go to Zhou Yun."
Henry looked up in surprise, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "Miss Zhou? Is it really her?"
Jiang Yan said yes.
Henry gasped: "How could she do that..."
They speak English.
At this moment Henry couldn't control himself, and said something in a low voice, Jiang Yan couldn't hear clearly, but Xu Sheng could hear that he was scolding Zhou Yun in the local American language.
He scolded very badly, so Xu Sheng didn't translate for Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan said calmly: "The last time she came to you and asked you to harm Zhou Duan's sister, you should have known at that time that she is not a good person, and you should not cooperate with her."
Henry seemed to want to refute, he wanted to say that he didn't think of those things at that time, he just thought Zhou Yun's suggestion was good, so he used it.But after a moment of silence, he still said, "I see, thank you Mr. Zhou for your answer."
Jiang Yan said: "When you see Zhou Yun, you can go back to China. If you have nothing to do in the future, don't come to China."
This is driving him out of the country.
Henry listened, but couldn't hold back, his expression contorted for a moment.
Zhou Duan and Xu Sheng immediately put their hands on their waists, ready to draw their guns at any time.
So in the end, Henry couldn't say anything about his refusal to return home, and left the hospital in silence.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yan heard from Zhou Duan that Henry went to see Zhou Yun overnight, and after staying in the nursing home for half an hour, he hurried to leave the country.
Henry returned to the United States.
The Cambie family, which had been on the verge of making trouble, also completely restrained under Henry's return, and did not cross the Pacific Ocean to do anything to the Zhou family.
The foreign forces all died down, and Jiang Yan, who had freed up his hands, focused on the country.
So soon, the news that the head of the Zhou family was seriously ill and hospitalized spread like a prairie fire. The long-awaited families and forces immediately geared up, eager to try, greedily staring at the direction of the Zhou family's stock, not seeking to destroy the Zhou family in one fell swoop, but Let the Zhou family taste what it's like to bleed.
The whole capital became tense.
Under such tension, Zhou Yun did not know how he got the news that Jiang Yan was hospitalized.She sneaked out of the nursing home and was the first to come to see Jiang Yan.
"elder brother."
She was wearing a blue and white hospital gown, her face was pale and haggard, and her lips were chapped.She stood there, pursed her lips, wanted to get close but didn't dare, so she stood still and said, "Brother, I know I was wrong, I want to stay and take care of you."
Jiang Yan looked at her and said nothing.
She continued: "Brother, you can't live for a few days, and I can't live long. Can't you let me accompany you?"
Jiang Yan still didn't speak.
She had no choice but to continue: "Brother, I really miss you." She bit her lip, blood flowed out, she raised her hand to wipe it away, rubbed her eyes again, and wiped away the tears, "You are going to die, Don't you forgive me yet?"
Jiang Yan finally said: "Zhou Yun." His voice was so soft that she could hardly hear him, "Go back, I don't really want to see you."
Zhou Yun burst into tears.
Jiang Yan didn't look at her again, closed his eyes, and breathed calmly.
Zhou Yun walked towards him while crying: "Brother, how can you be so cruel. Brother, do you dislike me? They all say I'm sick. Do you also think I'm sick, so you don't want to see me?"
Her tone was extremely sad, but her hand holding the syringe was steady.
She walked to the bed, stood still, raised her hand and pierced Jiang Yan's neck with the syringe.
The syringe stops just one centimeter from the skin.
Jiang Yan held her hand, opened his eyes, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Brother." The tears were still flowing, and the snot was also flowing, but Zhou Yun smiled, which was both ugly and weird, "Brother, why don't you die early, in a few days, you will be very painful, I want to send you on your way early."
Jiang Yan stretched out his other hand, snatched the syringe, and with a little force, Zhou Yun, who was weaker than him, was pushed to the ground.
His head hit the edge of the bed, a dull pain.She covered the place where she was hit, and didn't speak any more, she just bit her lip, with tears in her eyes.
He looked down at her and said coldly, "Then I won't bother you."
After speaking, he pressed the button, and Zhou Duan, who was waiting outside, immediately came in and took her away.
When she was taken out of the ward, she turned her head and glanced at Jiang Yan.
I saw him sitting there, the bright and warm sunshine shrouded him, but there was a heavy lifelessness in his body, as if he would die in the next moment.
She opened her mouth, and murmured another brother.
He didn't hear it.
After Zhou Yun was taken away, the elders of the Zhou family came.After some greetings, the elders left, and Xu Xianglin came.
Seeing Jiang Yan's tired face, Xu Xianglin briefly said a few words before leaving the room, and went outside to talk with Xu Sheng.
"The Zhou family is about to start a big turmoil." Xu Xianglin lit a cigarette, full of melancholy, "You should pay attention recently, don't be caught by others."
Xu Sheng said, "I know."
Xu Xianglin said: "I used to think that Master Zhou was getting old, so I wanted to take you in as a godson. In the end, I didn't expect it to be like this." After smoking one cigarette, he lit another and held it in his hand. Li sighed, "The world is really unpredictable."
No matter how powerful the methods are, no matter how high the status is, one cannot escape death after all.
Not to mention Zhou Bo?
After smoking half a pack of cigarettes with my son, Xu Xianglin patted him on the shoulder and left.
Xu Sheng sat still, waiting for Wei Chongxu to come.
Not long after, Wei Chongxu came.
The old man and the old lady of the Wei family came with him.
Several people entered the inner room, and Jiang Yan fell asleep at some point.They didn't dare to disturb, and the old lady could only shed tears silently, tucked the corner of the quilt for Jiang Yan, and went out wiping her tears.
"If you need anything, just tell me." Wei Chongxu also took a cigarette, and the whole outside room was filled with smoke, so blurred that people's expressions could not be seen clearly, only people's words could be heard, "Whenever you need my help, Just give me a call and I'll be right over."
Xu Sheng agreed, and sent the man away after a while.
Before leaving, the old man finally said: "Little Sheng, do your best and don't let your godfather down."
Xu Sheng said I know.
The old lady didn't say anything, just hugged him with tears, and then left with tears.
Up to this point, Xu Sheng rejected all the people who wanted to visit in the future.
Sitting in front of the hospital bed, he looked at Jiang Yan day after day, saw him sleeping in a coma, saw his suffering when the pain broke out, saw his thunderous methods when he was awake, and easily killed those who tried to bite. The power of the Zhou family was firmly pressed down.On the phone, he heard Wei Chongxu say with emotion that Master Zhou is still young, and that this is the real godfather. He clenched his fingers tightly and masochistically kept himself from crying in front of Jiang Yan.
Where is the young sword?
In fact, the precious sword is old and will be broken soon.
Jiang Yan kept telling him that a man should bleed and sweat but not cry.
Besides, Jiang Yan is not dead yet, who is he crying for?
Xu Sheng blinked, silently waiting for the arrival of the last day.
That day is coming soon.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, the number of people coming and going in the hospital gradually increased.Xu Sheng woke up as usual, and was about to say good morning to Jiang Yan, when he realized that the people around him were really comatose this time, and they could wake up without shouting as usual.
He hurriedly called the doctor.
Jiang Yan was pushed into the operating room for rescue.
It took a full six hours before the doctors came out.
As soon as they came out, they transferred Jiang Yan to the ICU, then issued a critical illness notice to Xu Sheng, and chatted with him for a long time, asking him to be mentally prepared, and also asking him to make good use of the last time together with the patient.
"Master Zhou wants to be at ease." The attending physician said with a sigh, "Young Master Zhou, there is nothing we can do."
Xu Sheng shook his head and said calmly that it was nothing.
He sat on the bench for a while, changed into sterile clothes with Zhou Duan, and entered the ICU to see Jiang Yan.
Seeing that Jiang Yan had woken up, he was sitting and looking somewhere, in a daze unconsciously.
Zhou Duan called him: "Master Zhou."
He came back to his senses, turned his head, waved his hand, and signaled Zhou Duan to come over.
Zhou Duan passed.
Then, without any surprise, Jiang Yan talked to him about the will and the Zhou family, and finally asked Zhou Duan to stay in the Zhou family and serve as Xu Sheng's personal bodyguard.
"He is the person I can't let go of except you." He said softly, "You protect him for me."
Zhou Duan whispered yes.
Jiang Yan said again: "You have a good time with him. After a few years, if you are tired, I will leave you a house, you can live with your sister, then marry a wife, have a few children, Zhou Duan, you will be very happy."
Zhou Duan buried his head and didn't respond.
After Jiang Yan finished talking with him and asked Xu Sheng to come over, he bowed his head and went out, squatting on the ground and crying.
The 1.9-meter man cried like a fool.
The crying came into the ICU vaguely, but Xu Sheng didn't seem to hear it, sitting on the edge of the bed holding Jiang Yan's hand, stroking the back of the hand that was so thin that the veins were protruding over and over again.
He doesn't speak.
Jiang Yan didn't speak either.
I don't know how long it took before Jiang Yan said: "Bring the pipe."
Xu Sheng was naturally not allowed.
Jiang Yan said with a smile: "I'm about to die, why don't you let me have a fight?"
Xu Sheng was furious almost instantly.
He gritted his teeth, said with difficulty, word by word: "Don't say such things."
The look on his face scared even the nurses who passed by the window and looked in.
All the people guarding outside were trembling, but Jiang Yan smiled lightly and said: "Just draw this last fight. After this fight, I will never smoke again."
Xu Sheng finally nodded.
He went out to get the pipe, filled the pipe with shreds, lit it and handed it to Jiang Yan.
Wisps of smoke rose up, Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes, and took a slow puff.
Wonderful, happy, the gods are alive.
However, after only one puff, he stopped smoking.
He took the pipe in his hand, lay down slowly, closed his eyes and said, "Xiao Sheng, I like you very much."
Xu Sheng said, "I like you too."
He said, "The Zhou family will be handed over to you."
Xu Sheng said, "Okay."
Having said that, he didn't say any more, and was as quiet as if he was asleep.
The tobacco pipe was still burning quietly, but the instrument showing life gave out a long beep.
"Di-"
In an instant, time stopped and the whole world was silent.
Xu Sheng sat quietly for a long time, then bent down and hugged the person on the bed into his arms.
The corners of his lips moved, revealing a smile.
In this way, you are dead in
He lived in the most famous private hospital under Zhou's family. Many doctors with high reputation in the hospital gathered in the conference room to discuss his CT film and past medical records, with the intention of choosing the safest treatment plan. , to continue his life.
Gastric cancer is advanced, which cannot be cured by ordinary surgery and chemotherapy.
Even if they imported some advanced technology and equipment from abroad, and invited more professional and experienced doctors in the field, they did not dare to give Xu Sheng a guarantee that the possibility of a successful cure would be high or low.
No one dared to lie to Xu Sheng.
No one dared to lie to Jiang Yan.
So after waking up in the hospital bed, he found that he had a needle in his hand and various things were attached to his body. When Jiang Yan calmly asked himself what was going on, Zhou Duan had no choice but to It is said that the cancer cells have spread and the condition has deteriorated. It is no longer possible to relieve it by taking some medicine at home.
Jiang Yan was not shocked when he heard this, and only sighed softly: "It's so fast."
Zhou Duan knew what he was sighing about.
The plan hadn't reached the final step, and the net hadn't been closed to the last piece, but he had to be hospitalized, and couldn't put all his thoughts on these things as before.
In his plan, he would be hospitalized for treatment, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Luo Zhen had just died, the Luo family had just been in chaos, Henry was still hiding somewhere in the capital, the Cambie family was still on the other side of the ocean, and countless families and forces were staring at him and the Zhou family in his hands...
There are too many things waiting for him to do, but he is lying on the hospital bed, with a posture of waiting to die.
He has been high-spirited for more than ten years, and now he can be regarded as a hero in his twilight years.
Zhou Duan had no choice but to persuade: "Young Master Zhou is here, so don't worry too much."
Jiang Yan said: "I know, I'm just worried that I will leave him a mess."
Zhou Duan said: "Everything is going according to plan, don't worry."
Jiang Yan shook his head and said nothing more.
Could Zhou Bo not know his condition?
It is precisely because he knew that he began to look for candidates for godson when he was in his 30s, and chose to start collecting the net after Luo Zhen returned to China.
He knew that he would not live long, so he thought about what should be solved before he died, and what should be cleaned up, leaving a clean place for his godson, so that the Zhou family could continue to stand together for more than ten or twenty years. Only then can he die peacefully and calmly.
However, the plan always failed to keep up with the changes, and the changes came so quickly, he had a faint sense of urgency.
Staring at the liquid dripping from the infusion tube for a while, Jiang Yan drank some water to relieve his thirsty throat after sleeping for too long, and went to the bathroom to wash up with Zhou Duan's help before asking Xu Where is Sheng?
Zhou Duan replied: "The doctors are in a meeting, and Young Master Zhou has gone to attend."
Jiang Yan smiled: "He is not a medical professional, can you understand me?"
Zhou Duan said: "Look more, ask more, and you will understand." Then he asked, "Master Zhou, do you want to eat?"
Jiang Yan said, "Can I still eat?"
Zhou Duan said: "If you feel hungry."
Jiang Yan felt a little hunger. He didn't really want to eat, but he couldn't do without food. With infusions and nutritional injections every day, he would lose weight faster and his condition would worsen.
So when Xu Sheng came back after listening to the meeting, he saw that Jiang Yan had finished his infusion and was drinking porridge.
I don't know if he understood the technical terms discussed by the doctors during the audition, and understood more clearly how far the cancer cells in Jiang Yan's body have spread, and how many days Jiang Yan can live at such a spreading speed. Xu Sheng's face looked a little pale, his brows were wrinkled, and his lips were tightly pursed. It was clearly a serious expression, but it made people feel the anxiety and pain in his heart.
He never knew that Jiang Yan's so-called "stomach disease" could actually be stomach cancer, and it was still at an advanced stage.
When Mingming was at home before, the doctor said it was just a common gastric ulcer...
While Jiang Yan was drinking porridge with his head down and didn't see him, Xu Sheng raised his hand and wiped his face, calming down his expression. When Jiang Yan looked up and saw him, his expression was already calm, no different from usual.
"You're awake." He walked over, sat down on the chair beside the hospital bed, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"
Jiang Yan said no, and motioned him to look at the two unopened lunch boxes on the dining table: "Zhou Duan said you haven't eaten yet? Let's just eat something."
"it is good."
When I opened the lunch box, I found a cage of shrimp dumplings and a cage of soup dumplings. There were also some side dishes and chili oil inside, which smelled very fragrant.Jiang Yan smoothly pushed another bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge to him, and the aroma became more intense immediately, but Xu Sheng didn't have the slightest appetite after watching and smelling it.
He took the chopsticks and ate them tastelessly, his eyes lowered, not daring to look at Jiang Yan.
I'm afraid that if I look at it one more time, my emotions will be overwhelmed.
After he finished his meal, Jiang Yan's bowl of porridge finally bottomed out.Zhou Duan asked Jiang Yan to clean up the dining table and asked Jiang Yan whether he was reading or surfing the Internet.
Jiang Yan thought about it. He had been in a coma for almost two days. The news about the Luo family should have been reported on the whole network. The other plans he had made for the Luo family before could be fully carried out.
So: "Bring the computer."
Opened the notebook, searched casually, and sure enough, there were news related to the Luo family, but no one reported the news that the head of the Zhou family was hospitalized, even on Weibo and forums, no one dared to break the news in vests.
While watching the news, he gave Zhou Duan instructions, and every sentence was orderly and perfect, as if he was still the all-powerful Lord Zhou, and the illness did not bring him any blow. It can make the whole capital tremble three times, and no one dares to catch its edge.
Xu Sheng didn't make a sound, just looked at him.
After he finished his orders, he checked the important emails that Zhou Duan had sorted out over the past two days, together with the materials he brought back from the Luo family, sorted out the plans for the Cambie family, and continued to give orders. Said: "It's not hot today. Shall I accompany you for a walk outside?"
Jiang Yan originally wanted to ask other families what their reactions were, but after hearing this, he quickly closed his notebook and agreed.
Xu Sheng sent someone to send a wheelchair and pushed him out of the ward, followed by Zhou Duan and two bodyguards.
Not many people live on this floor, and there are even fewer people in the small garden surrounded by glass.Xu Sheng pushed him to walk slowly in the path, the sun shone down from the branches and leaves, the light and shadow were dappled, neither of them spoke.
Jiang Yan asked the system: "How long can I live?"
The system calculated with fingers: "The shortest is 20 days, and the longest is 30 days."
Jiang Yan said: "Is there no definite time?"
The system said: "No, you didn't write it in your outline, and I don't know if the male god will give you chemotherapy."
If chemotherapy is effective, or if some medicine is effective, the time will be extended, so the system really cannot give a conclusion on how long you can live.
Jiang Yan said: "I heard that chemotherapy is very painful."
The system said: "I can help the host shield the pain."
Unsurprisingly, Jiang Yan refused: "No, I don't know how to undergo chemotherapy." At this moment, he seems to have really replaced Zhou Bo in the original text, with a calm appearance that has long been indifferent to life and death, without the grief of dying, and without The regret of unfulfilled ambitions, just said very plainly, "Anyway, they are going to die, why bother to suffer that crime before dying."
System: "... Sigh."
The system stopped persuading him.
It thinks that the role of Zhou Bo is really too plump and powerful.The host can write such a character design, and can play the role so well, the host must have had a lot of life experience in the years when he was a soldier.
Without a certain amount of experience, it is absolutely impossible to just rely on acting skills to cater to Zhou Bo's current psychology.
Zhou Bo's stomach cancer was only discovered a year ago.It was already late at that time.
With this one-year buffer, there is such a calm Zhou Bo today——except for Zhou Bo, who else can be so calm and calm when facing death?
At least the system monitors other critically ill patients in the hospital, none of them can do like Zhou Bo.
The system was still sighing, and felt the wheelchair stop.
It looked up, and there was a bench next to it, Xu Sheng was sitting on it, looking at its host tenderly and affectionately with his eyes.
The system was stunned to see a sadness under the tenderness and affection.
Then I heard him say to its host: "Did you know that you are not in good health?"
Jiang Yan let out a "hmm".
He added: "The last time you were at home, the doctor said you had a stomach ulcer, did you hide it from me on purpose?"
Jiang Yan said: "No, he misdiagnosed. Some symptoms of stomach cancer were like stomach ulcers. He didn't know that I had cancer."
Only he and Zhou Duan knew about the whole Zhou family.
Xu Sheng was silent.
He remembered Jiang Yan's performance when he was drinking and eating when he first arrived in the old house; and Jiang Yan sometimes had a stomach attack and was so painful that he couldn't even drink water.
Obviously...
He should have noticed something was wrong a long time ago.
Why wait until now to find out?
If it can be discovered earlier, it can be treated earlier, and the possibility of cure will be greater...
Xu Sheng thought about it for a long time.
But the fact is that he really didn't find out early, and the world information he got didn't say that Zhou Bo had cancer.
--and many more.
World data, world data...
What is the last sentence of the introduction to The Godfather?
——And all my life, I walk alone, until the end, I will be you.
walk alone?
Will be you?
Cold sweat dripped down Xu Sheng's back.
That's right, in fact, Zhou Bo's ending has already been mentioned in the introduction.
Xu Sheng walked alone all his life, and finally became a new generation of godfather.
In Xu Sheng's life, there was no Zhou Bo.
Zhou Bo died.
Zhou Bo was not with Xu Sheng.
Zhou Bo died before Xu Sheng took his place.
Huge pain filled his chest instantly, the pain was so painful that he was trembling while breathing, and his body was also trembling.Xu Sheng kept silent and pinched his palm hard, until he was about to bleed, before he forcibly calmed down and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Jiang Yan said: "Is there one more person to worry about? There is no need for that."
Xu Sheng said: "Why is there no need..."
Jiang Yan said lightly: "I know the specific condition of my body. Could it be that my illness will be cured immediately after I tell you?"
Xu Sheng stopped talking.
Jiang Yan said again: "Sooner or later, it depends on the way of death."
He said the word "death" so lightly that Xu Sheng almost gritted his teeth, and then controlled himself so that he would not lose his composure in front of him.
He is different from others.Xu Sheng tried to comfort himself, he already knew that he would not live long, so he treated death differently from others, and he could not get angry in front of him——
Even if he is really angry, it is impossible to change any of his decisions.
including how to die.
Trying to persuade himself to calm down, Xu Sheng took a deep breath and said, "Godfather, it's almost noon, it's getting hot, let's go back."
Jiang Yan said yes.
Back in the ward, there were doctors and nurses waiting to give Jiang Yan a routine checkup.The inspection process was very tedious and cumbersome, and it was finally over. Jiang Yan felt a little tired, so he didn't continue to read the notebook, and sat there with his eyes closed, with an extremely peaceful demeanor.
Nothing happened in the ward for the time being, so Zhou Duan went to the cafeteria to have lunch.The bodyguards guarding the door also changed, the door was closed, and only Jiang Yan and Xu Sheng were left in the room.
Xu Sheng is cutting fruit.
There are not many fruits that gastric cancer patients can eat, and there are only a few kinds of fruits, such as bananas, apples, and kiwis.Xu Sheng peeled the skins in the same way. First taste whether it is sour or sweet. Put the sour ones aside, and cut up the sweet ones. Pile them in small pieces in a transparent glass bowl. The fruity aroma is rich and touching. appetite.
Because he specifically asked the doctor if he could drink yogurt, after cutting a bowl full of fruit, Xu Sheng opened the box of yogurt, and the milky liquid poured over the fruit. He took an apple with a fork and brought it to Jiang Yan's mouth.
Jiang Yan still didn't want to eat.But still opened his mouth and ate the piece of apple.
The apples are very sweet, the yogurt is slightly sour, and the combination of sweet and sour is delicious.
Xu Sheng forked another banana and fed him slowly.
However, he still only ate half a bowl, so Jiang Yan stopped eating.Xu Sheng wiped off the yogurt on the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, licked it with his tongue, and it was clean.
Jiang Yan glanced at it, thinking that luckily he had brushed his teeth.
Xu Sheng cleaned up the remaining fruit, washed the dishes, and asked him if he wanted to watch a movie.
Jiang Yan said yes, Xu Sheng went to the hospital bed, sat next to him, put his notebook on the small table, clicked on a recently released movie, and the two watched it head to head.
Just after the opening title, the door opened silently, and Zhou Duan came back after eating.
Seeing that the two were watching a movie, Zhou Duan didn't bother him, took a mobile phone and sat down on the sofa, turned the ringtone to silent, and passed the time on his own.
Two hours later, when the movie was over, Xu Sheng didn't move, and motioned for Zhou Duan to come over and remove the notebook and table, because Jiang Yan leaned his head on his shoulder, breathing evenly, and fell asleep.
Zhou Duan took away the notebook, pushed the table back, and adjusted the height of the hospital bed so that the two of them were no longer sitting but lying down. Then they returned to the sofa and continued to look at their mobile phones, raising their heads from time to time. Pay attention to Jiang Yan's situation.
Xu Sheng didn't sleep for two days, his eyes were bloodshot.At this moment, he turned his head to look at Jiang Yan, looked at it, and fell asleep.
Zhou Duan's movements became lighter.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sunlight coming in from the window gradually became oblique.Soon, as the sun was setting, Jiang Yan woke up, and he opened his eyes. Before he could move, the breathing on his cheeks changed, and Xu Sheng woke up too.
Although he didn't sleep for a long time, Xu Sheng's mental state was obviously much better.He didn't get up, but only took advantage of the convenient location to kiss Jiang Yan's face, and asked him if he wanted to go to the bathroom, if he wanted to eat, and if he felt any discomfort.
Jiang Yan said he wanted to drink water.
Zhou Duan immediately poured hot water, then mixed it with cold water, tested the temperature before handing it over.
Xu Sheng sat up to take the water glass, half hugged and half hugged Jiang Yan, and slowly fed him water.
Jiang Yan stopped after drinking half a glass.Seeing that both Zhou Duan and Xu Sheng took themselves seriously and carefully like fragile porcelain, he couldn't help saying: "I'm fine, so what should you do? If I feel unwell, I will call the doctor myself."
Zhou Duan didn't speak.
Xu Sheng said: "The company and family are all fine. I don't feel at ease if someone else takes care of you."
Jiang Yan said: "Why is it all right? Didn't I just tell you?"
He meant the things that had been arranged before going to the little garden.
Xu Sheng said: "Just let other people do it." The young godson said firmly, "I have to stay here to take care of you, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
Jiang Yan said, "That's up to you."
The matter of Xu Sheng accompanying the bed was settled in this way.
The ward is divided between the inside and the outside. In addition to the very spacious hospital bed, there is another small bed, and there is also a bed outside.Zhou Duan naturally slept outside, and Xu Sheng slept inside with Jiang Yan.
But the cot inside was untouched.After taking a shower at night, Xu Sheng leaned against Jiang Yan, the two of them whispered, browsed the web and played games together, and kissed intimately, as if Jiang Yan was not sick at all, the two of them just changed the place of intimacy from home to the hospital , experience a different kind of feeling and stimulation.
He slept too much during the day, and Jiang Yan didn't fall asleep until midnight.
Seeing that he fell asleep, he would not wake up in a short time, so Xu Sheng lay down for a while, then got up and got out of bed.When they walked outside, Zhou Duan was still awake, and the two sat together, smoking silently facing each other.
After smoking a cigarette, Xu Sheng twisted the cigarette butt, put it in the ashtray, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Yan was hospitalized for two days, and there is still no news from the outside world. It is all due to Zhou Duan's single-handed control, so that even the elders of the Zhou family don't know that the family member is seriously ill and hospitalized, and nothing has happened so far.
Zhou Duan shook his head and said nothing.
Xu Sheng added: "He didn't finish what he said during the day. We have to find a suitable time to spread the word about his hospitalization and make arrangements in the dark. That's what he wants."
Zhou Duan said: "I understand, please rest assured, Young Master Zhou."
The two of them didn't talk anymore.
After smoking the second cigarette, Xu Sheng went into the room, chewed gum, and brushed his teeth for the second time tonight. After making sure that there was no smell of smoke in his mouth, he lay down next to Jiang Yan again, and fell asleep with his arms around him.
Zhou Duan also fell asleep.
The bodyguards dutifully guarded the door, and the night passed like this.
……
Five days later.
Knowing that many of the companies under the Luo family were successfully acquired by the Zhou family, and the rest of the companies either declared bankruptcy or were divided up by other family forces. A bottle of red wine to celebrate, but Xu Sheng wouldn't let him touch even a drop of wine. He could only choose to drink a glass of juice to express his inner joy.
The Luo family finally solved it.
There was one Cambie family left, he thought—
A few days later, Jiang Yan was taking a nap when he vaguely heard voices coming from outside.
Someone said to Xu Sheng: "Henry's most valued daughter has been imprisoned."
Xu Sheng said, "The illegitimate daughter?"
The man said, "Yes, Henry wants to train her to take Blanche's place."
Xu Sheng said, "How could we be punished? We didn't do anything."
The man said: "According to what I found, it seems that Zhou Yun moved his hand."
Xu Sheng: "...Zhou Yun?"
"It seems to be her. I don't know. She hides too deeply, and my people can't find out."
"It should be her. Except for her, no one would use such a method."
"Yes, I'm 80.00% sure it's her."
Xu Sheng groaned, but did not speak.
The man said, "Henry didn't find out either. He thought Master Zhou had someone do it, and he wanted to meet Master Zhou."
Xu Sheng said, "Let him come to the hospital."
The man complied, then the door opened and he left.
After the people left, Xu Sheng stayed outside for a while before opening the door to come in.
Seeing Jiang Yan looking at him with half-opened eyes, Xu Sheng was neither surprised nor flustered, and just said, "You heard everything."
Jiang Yan: "Yeah." Then he said, "There's no need to check any more, Zhou Yun did it."
Xu Sheng said, "You know?"
Jiang Yan said: "Well. She is not normal now, and it is normal for her to be able to do such a thing."
Xu Sheng said, "I'll send someone to visit the nursing home."
Jiang Yan didn't refuse, and said, "Henry is here, remember to call me."
Xu Sheng said yes.
Henry came that evening.
When he came, Jiang Yan was having dinner.
As the final stage approached, Jiang Yan's appetite not only didn't get worse, but got better and better.In addition, he didn't agree to chemotherapy or surgery, and he knew he was ready to face death, and the doctors didn't say anything, they just let him eat whatever he wanted, and didn't let Xu Sheng get too attached to him.
So today's dinner is quite rich, Peking duck, mapo tofu, West Lake vinegar fish, drunken crab, and a soup. Henry had only eaten before coming, but looking at the delicious and fragrant Chinese food in front of Jiang Yan, he actually felt hungry again.
Jiang Yan looked up at him, and asked Zhou Duan to bring a pair of chopsticks and a bowl: "Sit down."
Henry moved a chair and sat down. He was very skilled in holding chopsticks. Obviously, he often went to Chinese restaurants.
Several people ate in silence, no one spoke.
Henry originally wanted to take advantage of the Chinese habit of talking about things during meals to ask Jiang Yan why he attacked his daughter, but seeing her pale face, his throat moved, but he still kept his mouth shut.
Jiang Yan has not shown up for nearly two weeks.
Henry roughly knew that he was ill, otherwise Xu Sheng would not have let him come to the hospital.But he didn't expect that Jiang Yan had cancer, and he couldn't live long.
A strange emotion arose in him.
The last time I saw Mr. Zhou, he was still indifferent, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he was a person who was about to die.
The world is impermanent, and this sentence is indeed true.
After the meal, Zhou Duan asked someone to bring dessert after the meal.When the dessert was almost eaten, Jiang Yan asked: "You came here today, what's the matter?"
Henry moved his lips and said without hesitation, "Mr. Zhou, please be merciful and don't do that kind of thing to my daughter again. There is an old saying in China that says 'the crime is not as good as your parents, and the disaster is not as good as your wife and children' , my daughter is still young, I hope Mr. Zhou can let her go."
Jiang Yan said lightly: "Zhou Duan's younger sister is still young and just started high school. I hoped that you would let her go."
Henry's complexion changed.
Jiang Yan continued: "We are all people from the same road, and we all know what to do and what not to do." He raised his eyes to look over, and the gaze under the silver-rimmed glasses was as flat and calm as ever, making Henry feel in a trance that he had nothing to gain at all. Cancer, sitting in this ward is just a cover-up. "There is an old saying in China that 'your family manages your own affairs'. Luo Zhen and I are fighting in the nest, and we can't let outsiders intervene."
It's fine to intervene, and it's so much fanfare, for fear that others will not know the same.
Therefore, in terms of regional differences, many things that Chinese people insist on are always incomprehensible to foreigners.
Henry shook his hands, lowered his head, and humbly said what Mr. Zhou said was true.
After eating his dessert, Jiang Yan stretched out his hand and asked Xu Sheng to wipe his hands.He looked at Henry, and said, "Also, you have found the wrong person. It was Zhou Yun who killed your daughter, not me. You should go to Zhou Yun."
Henry looked up in surprise, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "Miss Zhou? Is it really her?"
Jiang Yan said yes.
Henry gasped: "How could she do that..."
They speak English.
At this moment Henry couldn't control himself, and said something in a low voice, Jiang Yan couldn't hear clearly, but Xu Sheng could hear that he was scolding Zhou Yun in the local American language.
He scolded very badly, so Xu Sheng didn't translate for Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan said calmly: "The last time she came to you and asked you to harm Zhou Duan's sister, you should have known at that time that she is not a good person, and you should not cooperate with her."
Henry seemed to want to refute, he wanted to say that he didn't think of those things at that time, he just thought Zhou Yun's suggestion was good, so he used it.But after a moment of silence, he still said, "I see, thank you Mr. Zhou for your answer."
Jiang Yan said: "When you see Zhou Yun, you can go back to China. If you have nothing to do in the future, don't come to China."
This is driving him out of the country.
Henry listened, but couldn't hold back, his expression contorted for a moment.
Zhou Duan and Xu Sheng immediately put their hands on their waists, ready to draw their guns at any time.
So in the end, Henry couldn't say anything about his refusal to return home, and left the hospital in silence.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yan heard from Zhou Duan that Henry went to see Zhou Yun overnight, and after staying in the nursing home for half an hour, he hurried to leave the country.
Henry returned to the United States.
The Cambie family, which had been on the verge of making trouble, also completely restrained under Henry's return, and did not cross the Pacific Ocean to do anything to the Zhou family.
The foreign forces all died down, and Jiang Yan, who had freed up his hands, focused on the country.
So soon, the news that the head of the Zhou family was seriously ill and hospitalized spread like a prairie fire. The long-awaited families and forces immediately geared up, eager to try, greedily staring at the direction of the Zhou family's stock, not seeking to destroy the Zhou family in one fell swoop, but Let the Zhou family taste what it's like to bleed.
The whole capital became tense.
Under such tension, Zhou Yun did not know how he got the news that Jiang Yan was hospitalized.She sneaked out of the nursing home and was the first to come to see Jiang Yan.
"elder brother."
She was wearing a blue and white hospital gown, her face was pale and haggard, and her lips were chapped.She stood there, pursed her lips, wanted to get close but didn't dare, so she stood still and said, "Brother, I know I was wrong, I want to stay and take care of you."
Jiang Yan looked at her and said nothing.
She continued: "Brother, you can't live for a few days, and I can't live long. Can't you let me accompany you?"
Jiang Yan still didn't speak.
She had no choice but to continue: "Brother, I really miss you." She bit her lip, blood flowed out, she raised her hand to wipe it away, rubbed her eyes again, and wiped away the tears, "You are going to die, Don't you forgive me yet?"
Jiang Yan finally said: "Zhou Yun." His voice was so soft that she could hardly hear him, "Go back, I don't really want to see you."
Zhou Yun burst into tears.
Jiang Yan didn't look at her again, closed his eyes, and breathed calmly.
Zhou Yun walked towards him while crying: "Brother, how can you be so cruel. Brother, do you dislike me? They all say I'm sick. Do you also think I'm sick, so you don't want to see me?"
Her tone was extremely sad, but her hand holding the syringe was steady.
She walked to the bed, stood still, raised her hand and pierced Jiang Yan's neck with the syringe.
The syringe stops just one centimeter from the skin.
Jiang Yan held her hand, opened his eyes, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Brother." The tears were still flowing, and the snot was also flowing, but Zhou Yun smiled, which was both ugly and weird, "Brother, why don't you die early, in a few days, you will be very painful, I want to send you on your way early."
Jiang Yan stretched out his other hand, snatched the syringe, and with a little force, Zhou Yun, who was weaker than him, was pushed to the ground.
His head hit the edge of the bed, a dull pain.She covered the place where she was hit, and didn't speak any more, she just bit her lip, with tears in her eyes.
He looked down at her and said coldly, "Then I won't bother you."
After speaking, he pressed the button, and Zhou Duan, who was waiting outside, immediately came in and took her away.
When she was taken out of the ward, she turned her head and glanced at Jiang Yan.
I saw him sitting there, the bright and warm sunshine shrouded him, but there was a heavy lifelessness in his body, as if he would die in the next moment.
She opened her mouth, and murmured another brother.
He didn't hear it.
After Zhou Yun was taken away, the elders of the Zhou family came.After some greetings, the elders left, and Xu Xianglin came.
Seeing Jiang Yan's tired face, Xu Xianglin briefly said a few words before leaving the room, and went outside to talk with Xu Sheng.
"The Zhou family is about to start a big turmoil." Xu Xianglin lit a cigarette, full of melancholy, "You should pay attention recently, don't be caught by others."
Xu Sheng said, "I know."
Xu Xianglin said: "I used to think that Master Zhou was getting old, so I wanted to take you in as a godson. In the end, I didn't expect it to be like this." After smoking one cigarette, he lit another and held it in his hand. Li sighed, "The world is really unpredictable."
No matter how powerful the methods are, no matter how high the status is, one cannot escape death after all.
Not to mention Zhou Bo?
After smoking half a pack of cigarettes with my son, Xu Xianglin patted him on the shoulder and left.
Xu Sheng sat still, waiting for Wei Chongxu to come.
Not long after, Wei Chongxu came.
The old man and the old lady of the Wei family came with him.
Several people entered the inner room, and Jiang Yan fell asleep at some point.They didn't dare to disturb, and the old lady could only shed tears silently, tucked the corner of the quilt for Jiang Yan, and went out wiping her tears.
"If you need anything, just tell me." Wei Chongxu also took a cigarette, and the whole outside room was filled with smoke, so blurred that people's expressions could not be seen clearly, only people's words could be heard, "Whenever you need my help, Just give me a call and I'll be right over."
Xu Sheng agreed, and sent the man away after a while.
Before leaving, the old man finally said: "Little Sheng, do your best and don't let your godfather down."
Xu Sheng said I know.
The old lady didn't say anything, just hugged him with tears, and then left with tears.
Up to this point, Xu Sheng rejected all the people who wanted to visit in the future.
Sitting in front of the hospital bed, he looked at Jiang Yan day after day, saw him sleeping in a coma, saw his suffering when the pain broke out, saw his thunderous methods when he was awake, and easily killed those who tried to bite. The power of the Zhou family was firmly pressed down.On the phone, he heard Wei Chongxu say with emotion that Master Zhou is still young, and that this is the real godfather. He clenched his fingers tightly and masochistically kept himself from crying in front of Jiang Yan.
Where is the young sword?
In fact, the precious sword is old and will be broken soon.
Jiang Yan kept telling him that a man should bleed and sweat but not cry.
Besides, Jiang Yan is not dead yet, who is he crying for?
Xu Sheng blinked, silently waiting for the arrival of the last day.
That day is coming soon.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, the number of people coming and going in the hospital gradually increased.Xu Sheng woke up as usual, and was about to say good morning to Jiang Yan, when he realized that the people around him were really comatose this time, and they could wake up without shouting as usual.
He hurriedly called the doctor.
Jiang Yan was pushed into the operating room for rescue.
It took a full six hours before the doctors came out.
As soon as they came out, they transferred Jiang Yan to the ICU, then issued a critical illness notice to Xu Sheng, and chatted with him for a long time, asking him to be mentally prepared, and also asking him to make good use of the last time together with the patient.
"Master Zhou wants to be at ease." The attending physician said with a sigh, "Young Master Zhou, there is nothing we can do."
Xu Sheng shook his head and said calmly that it was nothing.
He sat on the bench for a while, changed into sterile clothes with Zhou Duan, and entered the ICU to see Jiang Yan.
Seeing that Jiang Yan had woken up, he was sitting and looking somewhere, in a daze unconsciously.
Zhou Duan called him: "Master Zhou."
He came back to his senses, turned his head, waved his hand, and signaled Zhou Duan to come over.
Zhou Duan passed.
Then, without any surprise, Jiang Yan talked to him about the will and the Zhou family, and finally asked Zhou Duan to stay in the Zhou family and serve as Xu Sheng's personal bodyguard.
"He is the person I can't let go of except you." He said softly, "You protect him for me."
Zhou Duan whispered yes.
Jiang Yan said again: "You have a good time with him. After a few years, if you are tired, I will leave you a house, you can live with your sister, then marry a wife, have a few children, Zhou Duan, you will be very happy."
Zhou Duan buried his head and didn't respond.
After Jiang Yan finished talking with him and asked Xu Sheng to come over, he bowed his head and went out, squatting on the ground and crying.
The 1.9-meter man cried like a fool.
The crying came into the ICU vaguely, but Xu Sheng didn't seem to hear it, sitting on the edge of the bed holding Jiang Yan's hand, stroking the back of the hand that was so thin that the veins were protruding over and over again.
He doesn't speak.
Jiang Yan didn't speak either.
I don't know how long it took before Jiang Yan said: "Bring the pipe."
Xu Sheng was naturally not allowed.
Jiang Yan said with a smile: "I'm about to die, why don't you let me have a fight?"
Xu Sheng was furious almost instantly.
He gritted his teeth, said with difficulty, word by word: "Don't say such things."
The look on his face scared even the nurses who passed by the window and looked in.
All the people guarding outside were trembling, but Jiang Yan smiled lightly and said: "Just draw this last fight. After this fight, I will never smoke again."
Xu Sheng finally nodded.
He went out to get the pipe, filled the pipe with shreds, lit it and handed it to Jiang Yan.
Wisps of smoke rose up, Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes, and took a slow puff.
Wonderful, happy, the gods are alive.
However, after only one puff, he stopped smoking.
He took the pipe in his hand, lay down slowly, closed his eyes and said, "Xiao Sheng, I like you very much."
Xu Sheng said, "I like you too."
He said, "The Zhou family will be handed over to you."
Xu Sheng said, "Okay."
Having said that, he didn't say any more, and was as quiet as if he was asleep.
The tobacco pipe was still burning quietly, but the instrument showing life gave out a long beep.
"Di-"
In an instant, time stopped and the whole world was silent.
Xu Sheng sat quietly for a long time, then bent down and hugged the person on the bed into his arms.
The corners of his lips moved, revealing a smile.
In this way, you are dead in
