He said, "It doesn't matter to me... Did Xiao Ling find it?"

His complexion was extremely ugly, almost the same color as the white of the hospital bed.

Sheng Yuntong's heart tightened again and again, for fear that if he breathed a little harder, this young man who was as quiet as a shadow would let go and leave.

He coaxed him: "The police said that there is a clue, and the case should be solved soon. You can rest at ease."

Ruan Ji said: "Tomorrow...for the wedding...I'm sorry, Xiaoling..."

Sheng Yuntong hurriedly said: "The wedding can be postponed, it doesn't matter, I am willing to wait."

"um. Thank you……"

Sheng Tianyou, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted: "The wedding cannot be postponed."

His face was solemn, it didn't look like he was joking, and he didn't look like he had suddenly lost his mind.

Sheng Yuntong was startled, and turned to stare at his father's stern face: "...Dad, Xiaoling is still missing, who am I going to marry?"

"Follow him." Sheng Tianyou said in a deep voice, pointing to Ruan Ji on the hospital bed.

"Crazy!" Sheng Yuntong almost thought that the man who was insane was himself, "Dad, you can see clearly, this is Xiaoling's brother, Ruan Ji!"

"Of course I know it's Ruan Ji." The old man's eyes were serious and calm, and he repeated the matter solemnly, "I just want to marry him. Tomorrow, there will be a large audience, you, and Ruan Ji."

Ruan Ji's pale cheeks turned red, and he couldn't believe it: "Master, are you kidding me, don't be at this critical moment..."

"It is precisely because it is a critical moment that I have to force you two to do this. Tomorrow Yun Tong will get married. This matter has been hyped up by the media for a full month, and the invitations have also been sent to the hands of all respectable upper-class people across the country. In order to attend this wedding banquet, many people turned down tens of millions of entertainment and came all the way. Now you say the wedding is cancelled?" Sheng Tianyou analyzed the pros and cons of the two of them one by one, "Xiao Ling was kidnapped The matter has no beginning and no end. The police said that they should not act rashly before receiving the conditions proposed by the kidnappers. Therefore, the news of his disappearance cannot be made public. If you postpone the marriage, the whole world will know about Xiao Xiao in the first place. The strange disappearance of Ling, when the time comes, the city will be full of storms, do you think it will be a favorable factor for rescuing Xiao Ling?"

There was another reason, Sheng Tianyou decided not to say it after careful consideration.

He already had a vague premonition in his mind about who was kidnapping Xiao Ling.

Considering that the real father of the child in Ruan Xiaoling's womb is capable, courageous, and has sufficient reasons to oppose the Sheng family, he should be the only one who did such a lawless and ignorant thing.

They have been friends for generations, and grew up together, Sheng Tianyou couldn't guess what Qi Jiu was thinking and doing?

Similarly, Sheng Tianyou knew all too well what unimaginable consequences would happen if he angered Qi Jiu.

"This..." Sheng Yuntong hesitated.

What Sheng Tianyou said was reasonable, and after weighing the pros and cons, it was true that holding the wedding as scheduled would be more beneficial to the current situation.

Ruan Ji and Ruan Xiaoling are compatriots with the same mother, and they look similar, so it is not difficult to pretend to be him.

But there has been a history of this kind of substitute marriage, although it was a last resort, it is still hard to guarantee that it will not have a certain impact on Ruan Ji's future life...

He didn't want to hurt Ruan Ji, nor did he want to drag him down because of his and Xiao Ling's affairs.

Just as the man was hesitating and frowning, Ruan Ji took the initiative to cover his hand.

Looking directly at the man's puzzled eyes, he said calmly, "Brother Sheng, the old man is right. This is for Xiaoling's safety and Sheng's face. The only thing we can do now. I am willing to marry Brother Sheng and wait for Xiaoling to be safe." Come back and give up the seat of the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family."

****************

Rows of extended Lincoln cars drove by on the boulevard, and the wedding car carrying the bride was like a happy horse, far ahead.There were constant flashing lights along the road, and various media cameras were kept on recording all the time, recording Sheng's highly anticipated wedding.

In front of the church, a rain of colorful flower petals poured down from the heads of the newlyweds. Sheng Yuntong leaned over from the car to pick up the bride, and walked up the stairs step by step amidst the blessings of the crowd, with a smile on his lips.

Ruan Xiaoling in his arms didn't know whether it was embarrassment or physical discomfort, she buried her head deeply in the man's chest, only the side view was still beautiful.

After 33 salutes were fired, the wedding guests obeyed the command of the master of ceremonies and slowly entered the church behind the couple.

Qi Yecheng came out from behind the big tree where he was hiding, his eyes were still fixed on the figures of Sheng Yuntong and Ruan Xiaoling who disappeared at the door of the church, his thin lips trembled uncontrollably.

The wedding went on for more than an hour, and Qi Yecheng stood upright, motionless for more than an hour.

When the crowd gradually showed signs of flowing out of the church, the man lowered his eyes, turned and left quickly.

The world is a grand playground, and I wander in and play, forgetting the way back.

So, to blame for losing you.

****************

The cabin has no windows, and no light can come in.

Ruan Xiaoling was tied to the bed, and the night and the night were upside down. He didn't know how long he had been under house arrest.

Someone brought him food and clean drinking water for three meals a day, and he ate and drank according to Ruan Xiaoling.The boy resisted at first, but after a long time, his strength lost and he lost the ability to resist, so he could only force himself to chew.

The harsh living environment caused his body to deteriorate. He vomited out food after eating it. His throat was dry like fire, but he couldn't swallow water.

Every day, the painful process of eating, vomiting, taking medicine, vomiting, feeding food, and vomiting is repeated every day.Sometimes when he is a little more conscious, he wonders if he has already died, and everything around him is an illusion of Yama.

Qi Jiu had visited him a few times, and each time he would roughly pinch this side and tap that side on the boy's protruding belly, causing Ruan Xiaoling to curl up instinctively towards the corner of the wall in pain.But his hands and feet were tied with ropes, and he was tied to the corner of the bed in a big font, so he could not escape Qi Jiu's torture.

Qi Jiu heard from his guards that Ruan Xiaoling's body was too weak, and he was afraid that if he kept going so dark, he wouldn't be able to survive until the baby was born.

The cruel old man smiled coldly, grabbed Ruan Xiaoling's waist with callused fingers and pinched.The boy's eyes trembled, and he groaned in pain.

"Give him a drip, infusion of nutrient solution, and eat the most powerful ginseng and bird's nest, and hang his life." Qi Jiu said coldly, "Don't worry about the adult's body, just keep the child. On the day of the birth, He can give birth by himself, which is the best for the child; halfway through the birth, he has no strength, so he cut open his stomach and took out my grandson."

"This..." The guard still had some compassion, "If he really kills someone, Qi Dong will find out in the future, I'm afraid... and the Sheng family, they will definitely not let it go..."

"There are always men and women on Yecheng's bed, would he care about this poor kid who grew up in some dirty corner?" His tone was dismissive, "Sheng Tianyou and Sheng Yuntong, in terms of cunning, these two fathers and sons are better than me? Even if They came here, is it possible that they will really tear their face with me for the life of an ant? Do as I say!"

"Yes." The guard had no choice but to sigh, lamenting that this kind of emotional entanglement with the wrong family and family has brought another tragic end to the world.

Qi Jiu said a lot of cruel and inhuman things, Ruan Xiaoling heard them all, but didn't really take a word to heart.

Ever since he was locked up in this inaccessible wooden house, he had no fear of life and death, any bad words from Qi Jiu were like mist with no substance to him, and it would disperse when it touched his body.

But today's sentence "Men and women are constantly on Yecheng's bed" really hit him hard in the heart.

When the caretaker brought in the dinner, he noticed that the young man looked strange.

He opened his lifeless eyes, his eyes were frantic, he twisted his body like crazy, his mouth was panting violently, and he couldn't catch his breath.

"What's wrong with you?" The guard panicked, Ruan Xiaoling's due date is only one and a half months away, so don't make any trouble at this moment, he can't bear the responsibility.

Jumping to the boy's side, the first thing to do is to touch his belly nervously.

It has been raised for more than a month, and the towering abdomen is not a serious problem, and the tentacles are still bulging and soft.

Before he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw blood bleeding from Ruan Xiaoling's lips, he couldn't keep up with his slow breathing, and his struggling movements became weaker and weaker after another.

Then I touched the pregnant woman's heart, and the beating of the heart actually started to slow down!

There was no communication equipment in the wooden house, and Qi Jiu called people to cut off all contact with the outside world, so he could not ask for help.

The guard spirit was half frightened, and rushed out the door, and asked the other guards in front of the wooden house to rush into the house to do some first aid treatment, then drove the car out of the remote path, turned to the main road and galloped away.

These people are underworld thugs that Qi Jiu secretly hired without telling Qi Yecheng, and they are completely in the dark about who is actually in charge of the Qi family now.

After waiting anxiously at the front desk of Qi's headquarters for a long time, he was finally summoned by Qi's top leader.

The little hooligan rushed into the chairman's room recklessly, without seeing clearly who the man was sitting with his back facing him, he yelled straight up: "It's not good old man, something is wrong with that person named Ruan Xiaoling, I don't know if it's something to do." Live or die..."

"What did you say?"

The tall man suddenly stood up from the boss's chair, his sharp knife-like eyes shot out a fierce gaze, as if he wanted to cut the carotid artery of the little gangster in front of him.

"Ah...you're not..." Realizing that he had identified the wrong person, the little gangster backed away repeatedly, turning around and trying to escape.
