under the filth

Tang Cen followed behind Lu Sheng with a dazed expression. When he walked outside, he found three men in black suits suddenly standing in the aisle where there were people coming and going.One of the men saw Lu Sheng coming out of the bathroom, and hurried forward to hand over the passport in his hand.

"Mr. Lu, everything has been dealt with. The others have already left on the afternoon plane."

"Let's go." Lu Sheng took the passport and dragged Tang Cen to the customs without giving Tang Cen any time to react.Tang Cen stumbled and followed Lu Sheng forward, almost falling down several times, but the three people beside him seemed to have not seen them, turning a blind eye to what happened to Tang Cen.

When passing through the customs, Lu Sheng asked two people to stand in front of Tang Cen, and himself and another person stood behind Tang Cen.It was only after the two people in front of him passed through the security check that Lu Sheng returned the passport with the air ticket to Tang Cen.

Tang Cen walked over slowly with his passport in hand, and handed the passport and air ticket to the customs staff. The young Caucasian woman glanced at him, then looked down at his passport, and unhurriedly read on the visa stamped.

Then there was the security check. Before Tang Cen left, he didn't have time to get anything. The only mobile phone he was carrying was also in Lu Sheng. There was nothing to check, but something happened at the security check.

The staff in charge of the security check performed a simple body search on Tang Cen as a routine. His hands ran down Tang Cen's shoulders to check. Lu Sheng, who was beside him, pulled him to prevent him from kneeling directly on the ground.

"Are you okay?" the staff in charge of the security check asked with some concern.

Tang Cen could feel the strange eyes falling on him, and he could also see the weird expressions on the faces of the customs staff.However, he glanced at Lu Sheng who had already walked beside him, shook his head lightly, and stood up slowly with Lu Sheng's arm around him.

After passing the security check, Lu Sheng was probably worried that something would happen to Tang Cen that would disrupt his plan, so he kept half hugging and half supporting Tang Cen, with an intimate posture, just like a lover in a passionate relationship.But when they boarded the plane, Lu Sheng pushed Tang Cen onto the seat and left him alone, and took away his passport and air ticket.

Tang Cen looked at the passport that Lu Sheng casually threw to his subordinates, and suddenly felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost something.The passport he used when he was in college had expired long ago, and now this one was changed after he started working again, and it was covered with the visas he had issued when he traveled with Eisen.

That passport is like a witness, witnessing Tang Cen's new life after leaving the Tang family and Lu Sheng. It started in London and ended in Paris. Arrived at the origin.

With the roar of the engine, the plane took off.

Lu Sheng bought the first-class cabin, and it was a red-eye flight at night, so there was no sound in the cabin except for the roar of the engine.Tang Cen pulled out the blanket that came with the first-class cabin from behind his waist, and covered his body indiscriminately, leaning against the back of the seat, closing his eyes and trying to fall asleep.

Tang Cen's body was very uncomfortable, tired and aching, but the past scenes were always replaying in his mind.He remembered that when he was in college, Lu Sheng didn't have much money, and he had to plan carefully for the shared apartment. Before the trip, he made detailed strategies to save money. Even when he returned to China with him, Lu Sheng took the economy class.

At that time, Tang Cen knew that Lu Sheng had a strong self-esteem, and it seems even more so now, but now Lu Sheng no longer cares about the money for a few first-class air tickets.

Tang Cen wrapped the blanket tightly around his body, and suddenly felt a little lucky in his heart, glad that Lu Sheng bought a first-class ticket.But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully, Lu Sheng has no reason to wrong himself in order to torture him, after all, he has experienced how painful it is to spend nearly twenty hours in a long-distance flight in a small economy class.

Tang Cen tossed and turned on the first-class seat for a while, but still couldn't bear the fatigue of his body, and fell asleep drowsily, but he still couldn't sleep well.

Tang Cen woke up from light sleep several times, and suddenly found a plate of aluminum-wrapped pills on his blanket.He turned over and looked at the name of the medicine printed on the package, and knew that it was Lu Sheng who threw it to him. Maybe it was the sound of his flipping that made Lu Sheng rest.

That medicine was different from the one prescribed by the doctor at Grandy Hospital. It was Tang Cen's medicine when his condition worsened ten years ago, and he only took it in front of Lu Sheng.However, because the doctor increased the dose when he was seriously ill, the overuse of this drug led to increased dependence, and now it has no effect on Tang Cen.

However, the side effects of self-discontinuation of the medicine have already appeared on his body, even if the medicine Lu Sheng gave him has been abused, it is better than nothing.Tang Cen broke off the tin foil outside the pills, and swallowed two pills with cold water.

The sticky pain made Tang Cen very uncomfortable. He wanted to vomit, and he could feel his back slowly burning.But what was more uncomfortable than physical discomfort was that it was the result of his own choice. Tang Cen knew that no one would save him, and no one would ask him to choose a better choice.

There will be no more of that person.Tang Cen curled up in the blanket and waited for the sleeping pill to take effect.

The roaring sound in his ears began to weaken, and Tang Cen felt that he had fallen asleep, his body and consciousness were light and floating, as if floating on a cloud.

Floating, then fell quickly, and fell hard to the ground.

The aftermath of the abuse was still there. Tang Cen took seven sleeping pills on a board of fourteen sleeping pills in less than 24 hours during the long-distance flight.He hunched over on the seat and slept intermittently until the plane landed.

After taking too many sleeping pills, Tang Cen woke up dizzy and dizzy, his body was weak and he couldn't use his strength. He just supported the armrest to stand up, but before he could straighten up, he staggered and fell back to the seat.

The flight attendant closest to Tang Cen saw that he seemed to be feeling unwell, and was about to come over to ask him if he needed help, but was stopped by Lu Sheng.

Tang Cen tried to hold on to the armrest of the seat several times but failed to stand up. In the end, Lu Sheng got impatient, and "good hearted" got a lot of support before he could barely get off the plane.

After getting off the plane, Lu Sheng didn't make any stops, and didn't give Tang Cen any chance to rest. After handing over his luggage and follow-up matters to the three people traveling with him, he dragged Tang Cen directly to the hospital where Su Yuqing was.

Su Yuqing lives in a high-end ward on the top floor of the inpatient building of a high-end private hospital. The privacy is very good, and even entering the elevator needs to swipe the card.

Lu Sheng stood in the elevator with Tang Cen in his arms, and there were only the two of them in the spacious and bright car.No one could see them, and there was no need to play tricks to anyone, Tang Cen was still half leaning on Lu Sheng.

Tang Cen wanted to break free from Lu Sheng's false embrace, but he felt as if he had a fever, his head was dizzy, his forehead and back were slowly burning, but a chill was slowly seeping out from his body.

"Cough—" Tang Cen's throat was dry and painful, and he coughed softly. The feedback he got was that Lu Sheng's hand clasped his shoulder and suddenly pinched his bones hard.

The pain barely brought Tang Cen back to his senses. He looked at the numbers on the display board that changed at intervals, and saw it getting closer to the floor where his uncle was, and suddenly felt unprecedented fear in his heart.It felt like he was going to a mental hospital alone for the first time, sitting on a bench and waiting.

When the elevator reached the top floor, there was a "ding--" sound, and Tang Cen suddenly shivered.

He couldn't face it alone 11 years ago, and he can't do it 11 years later.

When Lu Sheng pushed open the door of the ward, Su Yuqing had just finished a routine physical examination, and when she heard someone coming in, she simply closed her eyes and leaned on the hospital bed, not even giving alms to the visitor from the corner of her eye.

Tang Cen stood behind Lu Sheng, secretly looking at the people on the hospital bed.

Su Yuqing seems to be aging rapidly within a year, but the person in his early 50s is like an old man who has been bedridden for a long time. His body has lost a lot of weight, and the hand that is hanging the IV is as dry as old bark, and his whole body exudes a decadent atmosphere.

Tang Cen remembered that when Su Yuqing submitted his resignation a year and a half ago, he was still sitting leisurely on the sofa in the office drinking tea, his eyes were full of mockery and understanding, admiring his decadence for Lu Sheng like an outsider who had nothing to do with him.

Tang Cen was more afraid of seeing his uncle like this than being treated as a fool.

Standing in the shadow behind Lu Sheng, Tang Cen called out in a very soft and low voice, "Uncle."

The person on the hospital bed trembled, thinking he was hallucinating, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Tang Cen standing in front of the bed.

"Why...how..." Su Yuqing looked at Tang Cen in astonishment, and kept repeating the same words, unable to form a complete sentence for a long time.

Tang Cen stood where he was, not daring to answer his uncle's question.

"Why did you force him!" Su Yuqing could tell that Tang Cen's current situation was not much better than his. Before meeting him, he must have suffered a lot.

"You're joking, he came back with me voluntarily." Ignoring Su Yuqing's glaring gaze, Lu Sheng pulled Tang Cen into his arms, pinched his cheek and said affectionately, "Ah Cen, I'll bring you to see you." Uncle, don't forget what you promised me."

Tang Cen was held in Lu Sheng's arms, he suppressed the trembling of his body, and showed a very ugly smile to Su Yuqing, "It's nothing, it's nothing important."

"Tang Cen!" Su Yuqing's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was sullen, but he couldn't help but slow down a bit when facing Tang Cen, "I don't deserve you to do this."

"I can't just stand by...I really...really can't do it..." Tang Cen shook his head in pain, a few suppressed sobs came out of his throat, "I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

Opera Cake was picked up by himself, and he didn't take the initiative to refuse when Su Yuqing offered to help. If they hadn't got involved with him, it wouldn't be like this now.

He must take responsibility.

Tang Cen's weeping apology echoed in the ward. Su Yuqing looked at Tang Cen's exposed injuries and his precarious body.

"Those are what I owe you! I should compensate you!"

Lu Sheng looked at it for a while and suddenly lost interest in looking down. Without giving Tang Cen any time to say goodbye and respond, he walked out directly with his arms around him.

Tang Cen was forcefully dragged out of the ward by Lu Sheng, before he had time to ask his uncle what the so-called "debt" was, it seemed that he just glanced at him very briefly.
