captive of the godfather

When Xu Xiandong woke up, it was already two days later.

In the intensive care unit, he just felt so painful that he couldn't move, and his consciousness was in chaos and fuzzy.

Sensing the movement of the person on the hospital bed, Langeslow immediately moved his face closer.

"Dong, are you awake?"

Warm palms caressed Xu Xiandong's forehead, and he didn't even dare to amplify his voice.Afraid of disturbing those who just woke up.

Xu Xiandong looked at the person in front of him with confused eyes.

"Lance?"

Hearing this hoarse call, Langeslow couldn't contain his excitement.

"Yes, it's me. How are you feeling? Does it hurt a lot?"

Xu Xiandong was stunned for a while, his eyes widened suddenly, his body twitched violently, his lips opened and closed, not knowing what to say.

Startled by his sudden convulsions, Langeslow quickly suppressed his body and pressed the call bell.

"Brother... Yan..."

From the fragmented syllables bursting out of Xu Xiandong's mouth, a few words could barely be discerned.Langeslow quickly explained in his ear: "Lei Xiao and the others are fine! I didn't kill them! Really!"

The twitching of Xu Xiandong's body gradually eased, and he finally calmed down.

Seeing the distrust in Xu Xiandong's eyes, Langeslow suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart.

"I'm telling the truth. If I lie to you, I'll go to hell immediately."

In order to reassure Xu Xiandong, he asked Federo to come into the ward.

It wasn't until Federo reassured him that Langeslo did not embarrass Lei Xiao and Xu Yanxi anymore, and Xu Xiandong fell asleep again in a daze.

Glancing at Xu Xiandong who had fallen asleep, and then at the embarrassed Boss, Fedro didn't know what to say for a while.

Until Langeslow said, "Get out and let me be quiet."

Federo nodded, bowed and bowed before retreating.

Under the best care and treatment, Xu Xiandong's body recovered quickly. Although his fractured right leg is still unable to walk, other injuries have almost healed.

But the recovery of the body does not mean that the rift between the two can be repaired. Since Xu Xiandong woke up, he has never looked at Langeslow directly. No matter how low he is, he can't move his heart.

This time he was indeed too decisive. To obtain Xu Xiandong's forgiveness, it may not be something that can be done in a day or two.

Xu Xiandong was not someone who was easy to please and buy, he didn't ask for anything material, and Langeslow was unwilling to say sorry even if he was beaten to death, the gap between the two deepened over time.

When Xu Xiandong refused to accept the flowers sent by someone again, the anger that Langeslow had held back for a long time broke out.

After throwing off a group of senior cadres who were in a meeting, he came to Xu Xiandong's ward angrily.

"How do you want me to make you happy!"

Seeing Langeslow rushing in suddenly, Xu Xiandong put the book in his hand aside, and calmly looked at the person in front of him with obsidian eyes.

"As long as you let me go, I'll be happy." This was the first time Xu Xiandong said more than ten words to Langeslow since he was seriously injured.

Langeslow didn't expect to hear such words from his mouth.

"What did you say? Have the guts to say it again!" Enduring the anger that almost tore the person in front of him, he said with a gloomy face.

If others faced Langeslow's terrifying anger, they would have been scared to death.However, Xu Xiandong was completely immune to this, he slowly and clearly repeated what he had just said.

Raising his hand, Langeslow was about to wave it at the person sitting on the bed, but when he saw Xu Xiandong's leg still wrapped in plaster, he deflected his hand and swept everything on the low table beside him to the ground go up.

Xu Xiandong looked at the mess and sighed.

"Lance, you have always been like this, self-willed, arrogant, and doing whatever you want. When will you learn to think about others?"

It's hard work with you like this.

Xu Xiandong thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it out of his mouth.

After destroying most of the furnishings in the room, Langeslow stood beside the bed panting, his emerald green pupils burning with astonishing anger.

"For you, I will never let go."

Xu Xiandong raised the corners of his lips lightly - he knew a long time ago that this negotiation would not be successful.

He didn't care too much, the Buano family's power could indeed cover the sky with one hand, and others couldn't leave, but this didn't mean he would compromise on this.

Closing his eyes and not wanting to pay attention to Langeslow, Xu Xiandong lay quietly on the bed, and Langeslow didn't respond to how angry he was.

Langesloo had nothing to do with him, and angrily slammed the door away, and the relationship between the two fell to freezing point again.

During this period of time, Langeslow changed from his previous aloofness and arrogance, and his whole person was as if he had taken gunpowder, and became violently irritable.

The munitions that had previously been dealt with by the Russian arms dealer Bouton had been delivered, but during the inspection, it was found that one-fifth of them were mixed with substandard goods.

After Langeslow found out about this, he directly sent someone to pick out Bouton's lair in the United States without saying a word, and even burned the mansion worth hundreds of millions to ashes.

Knowing that the incident was revealed, Burton immediately sent someone over to make peace, and planned to compensate Buano for his loss through other means.

If in the past, Buano burned other people's houses and got compensation, that's fine.But Bouton was really unlucky, and it happened to hit the time when Langeslow was in an extremely bad mood.

He humbly begged for peace, but only received a cold sentence, "Anyone who offends Buano will never have a foothold in the United States."

The implication is to completely cut off Bouton's arms access in the United States.

The arms trade to the United States accounts for more than half of Bouton's sales, and Langeslow's declaration is a fatal blow to him.

Buton offended Buano's news and spread like wildfire on the road. The Russian family began to use this incident to attack Buton, asking him to take the blame and abdicate to appease Langeslow's anger.

Although Buton's influence on the Tao was not as powerful as that of the Buano family, he was still a respectable figure.After being repaired by Langeslow in this way, the bad breath stuck in his chest couldn't be swallowed.

"Even if I have to abdicate, I won't let that brat Langesloo have a good time!" Slamming the cigar in his hand on the ground, Bouton's eyes were full of viciousness and determination.

No one knew that Bouton's revenge decision would implicate Xu Xiandong.

The defense of Buano's main house was almost perfect, and several groups of killers sent by Burton were killed before they could get close to the main house.

But Langeslow is human, so it is impossible for him to be without weaknesses.Bouton suddenly remembered the Asian man he met when he was negotiating a deal with Langeslow that day, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He immediately sent someone to investigate Xu Xiandong. Since Langeslow never concealed his relationship with Xu Xiandong, it was not too difficult to get information.

After Bouton finished reading the investigation report, a strange smile appeared on his plump lips.

The security of the hospital was naturally far less stringent than that of Buano's main house. In the middle of the night, several men in black with silencer pistols sneaked into the ward where Xu Xiandong was after taking care of the bodyguards outside the door.

After all, Xu Xiandong is also a person on the road, and his keen intuition made him aware of the dangers around him in his sleep.

When he felt that someone deliberately lowered his voice and approached him, he tried his best to maintain a steady breathing, pretending to be asleep, until the person walked to the side of the bed, he suddenly jumped up and threw the person to the ground with all his strength.

Xu Xiandong succeeded in one blow, and was just about to ring the call bell beside the bed, but was stabbed in the back of the neck by a man in black who later patched it up.

His vision went dark and he completely lost consciousness.And the astonishing scene that happened in the ward was quickly covered by the night.

Ever since Langeslow had a quarrel with Xu Xiandong and returned to the main house full of anger, his eyelids have been twitching uneasily. Even sitting in the study and drinking black tea, he still feels uneasy, but because of face, he doesn't want to rush back to the hospital immediately go.

Without the comfort of the familiar body temperature around him, Langeslow, who had been sleepless all night, managed to stay up until dawn. He couldn't even wait for breakfast, so he planned to rush to the hospital first.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to go out, he received a call from his subordinates who were in charge of guarding Xu Xiandong.

It turned out that when the bodyguard on duty in the early morning came to Xu Xiandong's ward, he found that his colleague had died, the blood had been treated, the body was found in a nearby toilet, and Xu Xiandong, who was supposed to be on the hospital bed, had disappeared.

Listening to the report from the hospital, Langeslow's face sank again and again, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the wireless phone bulged.

Sutherland had been standing by his side, and was very worried when he learned that something happened to Xu Xiandong.If something happened to Mr. Xu, the owner didn't know how much he would be hit by it.

Clenched teeth were bleeding, Langeslow hung up the phone, and spit bloody saliva on the white towel handed over by the manager.

"Let Fedro find out who did it right away." His tone was unusually calm, but Sutherland, who knew his character well, knew that this time there would be another bloodbath.

"If something happens to him, I..." Langeslow stopped talking.

Sutherland couldn't bear it, and immediately comforted him: "Master, Mr. Xu is very lucky, and he will be safe."

Langeslow nodded and walked into the study.He wants to use all forces in the shortest possible time to find out Dong's whereabouts.

The whole of Buano was shrouded in a dark cloud because of Xu Xiandong's disappearance.

It is not difficult to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, as long as you investigate the list of recent grudges with Buano, there will be clues.

At present, there is no one who has seen Xu Xiandong, who is the most powerful and who dares to break ground on Buano's head, except the Russian arms dealer Bouton.

Gently tapping the table with his right index finger, Langeslow said to the subordinate standing in front of him: "If it is Bouton, then there is still room for improvement. He will definitely come to test my bottom line. How much am I worth?"

"Fedro, monitor all the calls closely, and lock the location immediately when there is an incoming call. Soros, find a way to tie Bouton's wife, mistress, son, daughter, etc. back to me."

After ordering all the rescue plans, Langeslow supported his painful forehead, thinking of Xu Xiandong besides Xu Xiandong.

"Damn it, you can't do anything..."

Buano's actions were extremely fast. Although Buton had hidden his family members before, Buano's secret intelligence network was even better. The next day, Burton had a pregnant mistress caught.

The information shows that this woman has an extremely close relationship with Bouton, which will be a good bargaining chip.

"If Burton calls, he will agree to all the conditions offered, but he must emphasize the replacement. If something happens to Dong, all three times will be returned to the woman." Langeslow explained.

Sure enough, on the night that Bouton's mistress was arrested, there was a call from there.

"Bouton Lion opened his mouth and asked for one billion euros! And asked to remit in batches to his secret account in Switzerland within 24 hours."

Langeslow sneered, "One billion? He just can't spend it in ten lifetimes." He habitually tapped his fingers on the table, "Give it to him, have you made an appointment for the hostage exchange?"

Federo bowed and said, "It's an appointment. Tomorrow at twelve o'clock, the location will be on the desert island of Arthursche on the border with Mexico."

"Very good." Langeslo put out the cigarette in his hand, and rubbed his temples on both sides with his slender fingers.

"Boss, you haven't closed your eyes since Mr. Xu disappeared. Tomorrow will be a tough battle. You'd better take a rest."

Langeslo waved Federo out, "I want to sleep too, but when I close my eyes, I always look like him...Forget it, you go out first."

Federo had nothing to do but to withdraw as promised.

the next day.

It was 15 minutes before the agreed twelve o'clock. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up on the deserted island of Arthurs, and several helicopters landed on the apron in an orderly manner.

The dust rolled up by the huge airflow blinded his eyes. When the propeller stopped, Bouton's body was already covered with a layer of dust.

Langeslow came down surrounded by the crowd, still in a white suit, in stark contrast to Bouton's embarrassment.

"Langslow, long time no see, the scene is still so big."

Langeslow took off his sunglasses, "Stop talking nonsense, one billion euros has already been transferred to your account, tell me where the hostages are held, and everyone will save trouble."

Bouton listened and rubbed his fat hands.With one billion euros, even if he does not become an arms dealer, it is enough for him to spend the rest of his life.

"Of course, but Natasha is also in your hands..."

Federo replied: "We don't want to embarrass a pregnant woman. We arrest her just to prevent you from tearing up the ticket after you get the money."

Bouton heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled at Langeslow, "Before the exchange, I want to see Natasha first."

"What do you mean? When did Buano say something wrong?"

Burton quickly said yes, boarded his helicopter, and planned to take Langeslow and the others to the place where the hostages were held.

Seeing that Bouton was intimidated by his tough attitude, Langeslow heaved a sigh of relief.

Because just last night, Bouton's mistress Natasha died in the early morning due to a sudden miscarriage and blood collapse.Although Natasha's death was not directly caused by them, it couldn't be separated.They must find out Xu Xiandong's location before Buton finds out the truth, otherwise Buton, who knows the news of Natasha's death, is likely to act irrationally.

Following Bouton's helicopter all the way, everyone finally landed in front of a hidden mountain villa.

Buton stood in front of the villa, and said bluntly, "Langeslow, the person you want is inside."

The people from Buano's side were about to rush in to search for people, but they were stopped by Bouton's people.

"Although you are smart, don't take me for a fool." Bouton took out a remote control from the inner pocket of his suit, "I have already planted bombs around here, and this remote control is the detonator."

"I have enough money now, but I lack a wife and children. I don't want to fight against you. If you return Natasha to me, I will give you the remote control immediately."

Langeslow's eyes were darkened by the sunglasses, and he didn't reply.

Bouton felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. He found that Langeslow had been delaying time.

Just as he was about to turn his head and let his men go down to check the situation in the villa, he suddenly saw Langeslow quickly pull out a gun from his shirt, and shot him precisely at the hand holding the remote control.

Bouton was in pain, and the remote control in his hand fell to the ground, and the two sides exchanged fire fiercely in an instant.

Buano's powerful firepower made it impossible for Buton's side to get the remote control that fell to the ground. Under the cover of his men, Buton temporarily hid behind the stone wall of the villa.

During the scuffle just now, Bouton was hit by a stray bullet in his right chest, bleeding heavily, and his subordinates couldn't stop the bleeding even though they pressed their hands.

Pain spread all over his body, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his body began to twitch.

"Langslow...you are unkind...don't blame me for being unrighteous..." He raised the watch in his right hand and pressed the button on the side of the watch with the last bit of strength.

Buton was very defensive. What was shown to everyone just now was not the real detonating device.The real trigger was the watch he was wearing.

There was a deafening roar, huge flames shot into the sky, and a three-story villa was completely changed in an instant.

Buano, who always thought he had the situation under control, was caught off guard by the sudden explosion.Fortunately, everyone was separated from the center of the explosion because of the exchange of fire. Fedro and other bodyguards threw Langeslo to the ground in time at the moment of the accident.

"no no!"

Seeing this shocking scene, Langeslow overturned the person who suppressed him, and rushed in before the flames in the villa were extinguished.

"The detonator was obviously knocked down, why is it still like this! Why!"

Thinking of Xu Xiandong being locked up in the villa, thinking of the stubborn person who would stand in front of him and say to protect him is there, and with a few loud noises turning into ashes, Langeslow felt his liver and gallbladder split. I can't wait to just rush into the sea of ​​fire and finish it off.

"Don't hold me, let go!"

Langeslow pushed and pulled his subordinates like crazy. His strength was too great, and it took Fedro and others a lot of effort to restrain him.

"Fedro, I'm going to kill you! Let go, do I hear you! I'm going in to find him! I'm going in to find him!"

His eyes were red and he growled like a wolf who had lost his partner.

Federo wiped the blood from Langeslow's face, "Boss, no one can survive such an explosion! No one!"

"You nonsense, you fucking nonsense! He didn't die, how could he die?!" Langeslo struggled frantically, and was about to overthrow the person who suppressed him again.

It's not that I can't understand Langeslo's shock and grief when he watched his lover die in the sea of ​​fire, but as a member of Buano, Fedro knows better what Langeslo is to the Buano family and even the stability of North America. importance.It was his duty to protect the boss when he lost his mind, even if it was a cruel injury.

Looking back at the mountain villa that was engulfed in flames, he never imagined that that brave and upright man would end up like this in the end.Looking back at Langeslo, who was crushed to the ground by several people and covered in dust and ashes all over his body, Federo raised his head to stop the oozing tears from slipping down.

"I'm sorry, Boss."

The fire caused by the explosion has begun to spread in the forest, and if they don't leave, even they will be in danger.

Federo raised his hand and slashed at the back of Langeslo's neck, and his struggling body finally calmed down.With an order, Fedro escorted Langeslo back into the helicopter and fled.

Several months have passed since Xu Xiandong's accident.

Buano's main house was still shrouded in gloom, and the pain caused by Xu Xiandong's death did not fade away with the passage of time.

Since the day he was sober, Langeslow has been shutting himself in the room and constantly sending spirits in.

No one dared to go in to persuade him, because even Sutherland and Federo, who were usually the most talkative, were rejected by Langeslow.

He could only paralyze his nerves with spirits, because only in a state of confusion could he forget the fact that Xu Xiandong had been buried in the sea of ​​fire, and that Xu Xiandong could no longer stand beside him as before, and his voice , His smile was wiped out, never to be found again.

Langeslow suddenly felt that all the centers of gravity were tilted.

Things that he thought were meaningful before can no longer arouse any interest in him.

Any family or territory, in a world without Dong, seemed meaningless and ridiculous.He even began to doubt the meaning of his existence.

Sutherland couldn't understand Langeslow's decadence. Although he knew it would be useless to talk too much, he still decided to persuade his master again.

When he entered the room, he found that Langeslow was not sitting on the ground as he had been a few days ago. He could faintly hear the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Sutherland immediately asked someone to knock the door open, only to find that Langeslow had taken a shower, was standing in front of the mirror neatly dressed, and was using the razor in his hand to shave off the beard that hadn't been cleaned for some days.

Seeing someone breaking in, Langeslow was rarely angry.Sutherland hurriedly asked the people around him to exit.

"What? Do you think I'll be overwhelmed?"

Sutherland didn't answer, but just looked at the tall man in front of him with meaningful eyes.

Langeslow has lost a lot of weight during this time, and now has a circle of bruises.

"Sutherland, since I came to Buano, you have always taken care of me. Even in the last fight for this position, it is thanks to your help that I can get to where I am today."

"In my heart, you are much more important than my so-called dad."

Thinking of those difficult days, Sutherland also felt a lot.

"I originally thought that in this life, I would never fall in love with anyone. Who knew I would meet him..."

Sutherland didn't know what to say, so he could only call out Langeslow's nickname.

"I fell in love with him the first time I saw him. It's just that I was stupid. I didn't know that feeling was liking, the kind of love you mentioned... Sutherland, you taught me to kill and teach me You have taught me almost all your skills, but why didn't you teach me this earlier?"

Langeslow's voice was low, hoarse and trembling slightly.

"During my training, everyone told me - I must be strong! I must rely on myself! Because no one can save you except yourself.

"However, Donghe didn't know me at all, and he would rescue me... I can't forget it until now, so I dare not close my eyes. Because once I close my eyes, I will see the person who died in the dark alley that day. , his back standing in front of me..."

"If everything can be done again, at least, at least before that happened, let me tell him that I...love him very much...really...love him very much..."

Langeslow buried his face in his palm, and Sutherland couldn't see his expression at the moment.

"You said, if I didn't let people assassinate Lei Xiao and Xu Yanxi, if he hadn't been injured because of saving people, he wouldn't be in the hospital, he wouldn't be captured by Bouton, he..."

Sutherland couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted him, "Master, no one can predict the future, no...you have tried your best to save Mr. Xu, and he won't blame you."

Langeslow didn't speak for a long time, and seemed to be constantly suppressing his emotions.

"Sutherland, start picking some candidates to train..."

Sutherland widened his eyes when he heard this, "Master, what do you mean?"

"I know, in your whole life, Buano is the one you can't let go of. I won't collapse, at least until a new heir is cultivated."

"Sutherland, I'm so tired... Every time I put my palm on my chest, I feel like my heart won't beat. It's so empty and uncomfortable... I don't know how I can survive in a world without him. How long can you last..." Sensing the pain in Langeslow's tone clearly, Sutherland had no choice but to remain silent and exit the door.

After that, Langeslow returned to the previous life track, but everyone could feel that his soul seemed to have been pulled away, and what was in front of him was just a cold working machine that was constantly running.

No one can walk into Langeslow's heart again, because the only person is no longer there.
