Rarely affectionate

The incident on the pier was really earth-shattering, Yuan Cheng couldn't hide it for his youngest son even if he wanted to, not to mention he passed out as soon as he lay on the stretcher.

He wanted to hold on so he wouldn't faint, but blood was pouring down his shoulder. Although he didn't hurt his bones very much, his entire muscle was pierced, and the pain alone could kill a person.

Yuan Cheng was sent to the hospital, where he was given emergency anesthesia for surgery. After the surgery, he was immediately pushed to the ward. The outside was heavily guarded, and not even a mosquito could fly in.When Yuan Cheng came to power, he wiped out all his brothers. Now that he has fallen, the only person in the entire Yuan family who can talk is the crown prince Yuan Zou, not even the Eight Sage Kings.

Yuan Xiao rushed to the United States overnight, and the first sentence when he got off the plane was: "Where is my father?" The second sentence was: "Where is my brother?"

Lang Bai was packed up by his subordinates and sent to the hospital, where he was given a sedative and fell into a coma all night.When he woke up, he found himself lying in the single-person VIP ward. Yuan Xiao sat beside the bed with bloodshot eyes. When he saw him wake up, he immediately waved his hand and told his subordinates, "Take him away."

Before Lang Bai could even make a sound, he was respectfully helped up by his elder brother's cronies and helped him outside.

"Abai, it's not the elder brother who wants to harm you this time, and there is nothing the elder brother can do." Yuan Xiao said as he got into the car, "There is such a commotion, and my father is injured like this again, even if I don't ask, the elders of the Yuan family will also ask about it." Yes. Don't worry, I just asked you to go over and ask questions. You are our precious little son, who can do anything to you?"

Lang Bai sat in the car with a sleepy expression, his face was almost transparent, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind.

Yuan Xiao sat in the passenger seat, looked in the rear mirror, and then ordered his subordinates without looking back: "Wrap Young Master Bai in thick clothes, and don't let him get really sick. It's hard to explain to the elders. "

The so-called elders of the Yuan family are all from the generation of Lang Bai's great-grandfather, that is, the same generation as the old man of the Yuan family.Those old people don't care about their affairs now, and under Yuan Cheng's arrangement, most of them spend their lives overseas, so they basically have no room to intervene in the Yuan family's affairs.

But they also have the right to speak under very special circumstances. For example, Yuan Cheng is lying in the hospital without knowing whether he is alive or dead, but Yuan Zou has not been formally appointed as the heir. Then these old people of seniority can unite and Ask the descendants of the Yuan family to obey their orders.

Those who asked to call Lang Bai to "interrogate" were these old men who usually didn't need them to help the soy sauce bottle fall down.Of course, whether Yuan Zhui had people swaying them or whether he secretly contributed, only Yuan Zhen himself knew.

When Yuan Cheng woke up the next day, the first thing he saw was Yuan Xiao.

In fact, Yuan Zhen didn't just stay by the bedside of his father and younger brother without doing anything. Just in case, he had already prepared everything for the succession. If Yuan Cheng didn't wake up, he would immediately Actions must be taken to prevent the Yuan family's property from falling into the hands of others.

Among all his preparations, the most important one was to detain his own brother in the hands of Yuan's elders.Yuan Xiao has claimed to be the prince for so many years, and he has taken precautions in every possible way, but the one who needs to take precautions most urgently is actually Lang Bai alone.

Yuan Cheng opened his eyes, looked at his eldest son, then slowly closed them again, and asked in a low voice, "Is everything okay at home?"

Yuan Xiao immediately replied: "Everything is fine, no one dares to move."

"... Where's your brother?"

"Abai—" Yuan Xiao paused, and said, "The great-grandfathers who settled in the United States called him to question him, and it happened last night, and it took a few days, and he hasn't come back yet. "

"Are you kidding me?" Yuan Cheng still had his eyes closed, but his tone was already a bit heavy: "It's none of your business, besides, he wouldn't have suffered so much."

"Father, I can't help it. The elders ask to see the great-grandson..." Yuan Zhen looked at his father's face and changed his words: "I will send someone to pick him up." It's not good to intentionally persecute your own brother.

Yuan Cheng didn't speak for a long time, and Yuan Xiao waited for a while to make sure that his father had fallen asleep, and then slowly backed out.

As Yuan Cheng expected, Lang Bai did suffer a bit.

The elders ask you to ask questions. If they say it nicely, they have something to ask you, but if they say it badly, they will refer you to interrogation.The descendants of the Yuan family have never been precious, and the children of those old people should be killed and exiled by Yuan Cheng, and if there is no one left, they will all be wiped out?Why should they be kind to Yuan Cheng's illegitimate son?

Lang Bai was invited into a villa in the suburbs. He was first put under house arrest for one night, without food or water, and no one came to interrogate him until noon the next day.

The environment of interrogation is not too bad, at least there are no frightening instruments of torture.A stone basement with no windows on all sides, a bright light facing Lang Bai's face, several old people are all sitting in the dark, and the four corners of the basement are tightly blocked by bodyguards with live ammunition.

But the content of the interrogation was very simple and brutal.The same questions were repeated many times, such as "Are you colluding with Webber? Ross Thorn?" "Are you intentionally trying to murder your father?" Questions like this were repeated at least fifty times during the interrogation. , The mechanical and cold voice over and over again caused tremendous psychological pressure on the interrogates, and the bright light was directly on the eyes, which could completely blind people in a short while.

Lang Bai's psychological quality is inversely proportional to his frail body. His will is very tenacious, his mind is extremely calm, and his speech is clear and uncluttered.Even though he hadn't had a drop of water all day and night and was extremely weak, he calmly survived the first interrogation.

When he was invited out of the basement, he saw the early morning light outside the window, and only then realized that he had spent a whole afternoon and a night in intensive interrogation.

It won't last three days if this goes on - Lang Bai made a rough assessment of his physical condition, and then came to this conclusion.

In the next two days, he accepted the second interrogation and the third interrogation. The process was similar to the first one, but the time dragged on.Only a small amount of drinking water was provided during the interrogation, but it was completely undrinkable-because it was mixed with a lot of salt, it would make people thirstier the more they drank.

Lang Bai knew that this was no longer a simple interrogation, but actually a long-planned revenge.

The descendants of these old people, that is, Yuan Cheng's cousins, most of them died in the tragic battle to seize the heirloom. Even if they were lucky enough to save their lives, they would definitely have no future to speak of in this life.These old people didn't want to protect Yuan's family, they just took the opportunity to kill Yuan Cheng's youngest son.

Lang Bai figured this out, can Yuan Xiao not figure it out?

Of course Yuan Xiao knew it in his heart.He just wanted to eliminate Lang Bai's chance to be in the top position, and he still couldn't do such a thing as killing his own brother for the time being.

So he went to those old men the next day and asked them to let them go.

But what Yuan Zhen didn't expect was that it was easy to send people away, but difficult to get them back.In any case, they are all his elders, who have become human elites over the past few decades. They are much more thoughtful than Yuan Xiao, and they don't buy him as a prince at all.Yuan Zhen hit a snag that day—"An important person in Yuan Cheng? Did Yuan Cheng really mean it? Isn't he still lying in the hospital? Why, you said it was his order, do you have evidence? No We can't let people out casually."

Yuan Xiao was dumbfounded.

These old men are all people whose necks are buried in half of the loess, who knows if they will continue to kill Yuan Cheng's children for revenge.

It just so happened that the staff in the hospital reported that Mr. Yuan had woken up again.Yuan Hao hurried back to ask for instructions: "Father, those old men didn't ask clearly, and they don't want to release Ah Bai. What do you think?"

Yuan Cheng woke up this time much more sober than the first time. He sat on the bed and smoked slowly, without speaking for a long time.Yuan Xiao was not sure what he was thinking, so he cautiously reminded: "—Father, look at it?"

"...then let him come back in two days."

Yuan Xiao was stunned.It is impossible for Yuan Cheng not to be able to figure out things that he can figure out.He usually dotes on his youngest son like that, holding it in his palm for fear of falling and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, why is he not in a hurry now?

But even if Yuan Zou had the courage to ask, he would not dare to ask this question. If he asked, he would be clearly accusing his father of partiality, and he would be convicted of "resentment".What a joke, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty abolished the crown prince, this "resentment" is a felony!

But what Yuan Zou didn't know was that just as he withdrew from the ward, Yuan Cheng called his confidantes and ordered them to monitor the old man's movements, and he must not let his youngest son really be killed.

No one else could guess what Yuan Cheng was thinking.His little son was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he never suffered a lot. He was so arrogant and arrogant that he dared to hit his father with a thirty-ton container.Yuan Cheng intends to give his youngest son a good meal, and let him see what he can do without his father.He wanted his youngest son to realize how important his father was to him.

Yuan Cheng planned to bring his youngest son back after two days when the suffering was almost gone.At that time, he must be scared, learned to be good, and still afraid that he won't take the initiative to snuggle up and beg for mercy?

Yuan Cheng was thinking like this, but what he didn't know was that Lang Bai had been locked up in that villa for the past three days, except for a small amount of drinking water, he had hardly eaten a single grain of rice.

On the third day, his physical condition was so bad that he couldn't get any worse, and when he was about to bite his wrist and drink blood to sustain his life, several people suddenly came, gave him a small amount of food and medicine, and washed him forcibly. Take a shower, put on clean clothes, and lead him out.

Lang Bai was helped out of the villa in a daze, and put on a car.During the whole process, he was in a semi-awake state. He didn't know what kind of medicine was administered, and he fell asleep as soon as the car drove.When he woke up, the car had already stopped in front of the hospital.

Zhou Zhengrong was waiting in the hospital, and when he saw Lang Bai, he was startled immediately: "Didn't Mr. Yuan tell you not to kill anyone? How did it happen?"

The subordinates had a bitter face: "If it wasn't for Mr. Yuan's death order, you still see people now? Go directly to the crematorium to see the ashes."

Zhou Zhengrong felt flustered, and said, "Send it in quickly, and serve it carefully!"

Lang Bai had already woken up at this time, he could hear them talking, and he could also make a sound, but his hands and feet were weak, and he couldn't take a step.Listening to the conversation between Zhou Zhengrong and that subordinate, he vaguely heard that Yuan Cheng knew about the interrogation in the past few days.

Three days of deprivation of food, drinking of concentrated salt water, strong light on the optic nerve, deprivation of sleep...Maybe he knows all of them, Lang Bai thought.

Several subordinates carefully helped him into the ward, settled him down on the armrest sofa, then immediately withdrew and closed the door.

The ward is actually a suite, and Yuan Cheng is not outside.The door to the balcony was open, he was probably smoking outside.

Lang Bai was sitting on the sofa, and the exhaustion, loneliness and exhaustion of the past few days surged up together. Within a few minutes, he involuntarily closed his eyes, leaned heavily on the arm of the sofa, and almost fell asleep.

When Yuan Cheng walked in, he saw such a scene. The youngest son, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, was almost out of shape, with heavy shadows under his tightly closed eyelids, and his face was so pale that it made one's heart palpitate, vaguely ominous. of gray.He rested one hand on the armrest of the sofa, his fingertips were slightly hanging down, and his thin knuckles were protruding, making him look pitifully weak.

Yuan Cheng half-kneeled in front of the sofa, the more he watched, the more frightened he became.Lang Bai's lips were dry and chapped, because of his malnutrition, his lips were white and gray. Compared with when he was at the pier a few days ago, he looked like a completely different person!

Probably someone was staring at him, Lang Bai didn't sleep well, and seemed to want to curl himself up completely on the sofa, trying his best to avoid something terrible.

Yuan Cheng slowly leaned down, and licked and kissed his youngest son's chapped lips with his tongue.

The warm breath hit Lang Bai's face, he moved uneasily, but he couldn't avoid it no matter what.Finally he slowly opened his eyes, blinked his long eyelashes several times, and slowly regained consciousness after a while, "...Dad?"

Yuan Cheng suddenly picked him up, carried him from the sofa to the bed, and gently put him on the bed.

Lang Bai was too tired, he didn't struggle, and let his father meekly let him hold him in his arms.

Yuan Cheng's upper body was bare, and a thick bandage was tied on one shoulder. From such a close distance, Lang Bai could even smell the faint scent of tobacco mixed with medicine on his body.

"Will you still make trouble next time?" Yuan Cheng whispered into Lang Bai's ear after a long silence.

"……dad."

"Ok?"

"Am I going to die?"

Yuan Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he said sharply, "What nonsense!"

"...but they said you could kill me."

Yuan Cheng grabbed the youngest son's chin and forced him to look into his eyes, "Abai, tell Dad. Do you think I will kill you? Do you think Dad doesn't like you? Do you think Dad doesn't love you enough? ?"

"..." Lang Bai was forced to raise his face, but stared at the ground motionless.

Yuan Cheng looked at his beautiful eyes, the long, sparse eyelashes left a circle of fan-shaped shadows, they looked so fragile, like the remnant wings of a butterfly, which would break with just a light fold.

Even Yuan Cheng himself felt that this was actually very strange. How could such a strong and powerful person like him give birth to such a delicate and fragile child.Unable to withstand wind and rain, unable to withstand breaks, has an extremely meticulous and indifferent mind, but his heart is higher than the sky, and his life is thinner than paper.

such.

And his ruthless personality actually resembles Yuan's family more than Yuan Zou's, but he just doesn't have the destiny to be a master.

"Abai, I won't kill you." Yuan Cheng sighed in a low voice, holding Lang Bai tightly in his arms, "No matter what you do, I will never kill you. I will always be like this ...I love you so much."

Lang Bai didn't say a word, and after a while he said softly: "But they all said that I wanted to harm you on purpose."

"You're not, and Papa believes you're not."

Yuan Cheng paused, then repeated in a low voice: "——Father believes that you didn't do it on purpose."

Dad believed it was an ordinary accident.

— Was it really just an accident?

The truth of the matter doesn't matter at all now.So what if it was an accident?So what if Lang Bai did it on purpose?Even if Lang Bai really put the knife in front of Yuan Cheng's heart, as long as Yuan Cheng insisted that it was just an "accident", it could only be an accidental "accident".

What's more, now that things have developed, can Yuan Cheng say that it was not an accident?Can he say that Lang Bai deliberately wanted to kill him?Could he say that it was because he raped his own young son, so he was too childish and decided to kill his father?

Yuan Cheng had no choice. Not only did he have to convince himself that it was an accident, but he also had to convince everyone that it was an accident—although everyone present at the time could see that there was already a quarrel between the father and son. Endless great hatred.
