The lure of rebirth

After Meng Jinlan left, Xiao Bai called K, and was about to talk about something, but K gave Xiao Bai good news over there, Li Juan's background was found out.

After listening to this, Xiao Bai couldn't believe it, Li Juan was actually Grandpa Li's daughter, but since she was Grandpa Li's daughter, how could she hate him so much?

Time didn't allow him to think too much, Xiao Bai asked K to go to Lei's house to watch Lei's house immediately, this time, he didn't plan to wait any longer.

On the other side, Wang Zijing exhausted all his strength and finally found out the purpose of Lei Changsheng's approach to him back then. Holding the information in his hand, Wang Zijing was numb, and it was only for a few letters. , is really a joke.

The information in his hand was slightly deformed, Wang Zijing used all his strength to restrain himself, no... not yet, Lei family, Zheng family, I, Wang Zijing, swear, I will return what you gave me one day , One day I will return it thousands of times.

Xiao Bai is also busy these days. The day after Meng Jinlan left, Xiao Bai sent Wu Yiyi away, and Zheng Zimo made appointments with Xiao Bai several times. Zheng Zimo suspected that he knew something.

And every time Zheng Zimo talked with Xiao Bai, he always talked about his father intentionally or unintentionally, revealing that his father's death was related to several letters.

Xiao Bai was puzzled, and told the truth to Zheng Zimo, saying that he didn't know about that thing.

In the afternoon Xiao Bai went to the sanatorium that Li Juan belonged to. The sanatorium looked a bit old, although it was not dilapidated, it was still extremely simple, with some willow trees in the yard, a stone table and a few stools and nothing else.

Li Juan was sitting at the stone table with dull eyes, Xiao Bai walked up to Li Juan, stared at Li Juan without opening her mouth.

Time passed quietly, the silence was shocking, but Xiao Bai suddenly said, in a soft voice, "What did I do wrong? It made you hate me so much."

As if awakened by a start, Li Juan raised her head suddenly, her eyes did not hide the hatred in her heart, "No, you did nothing wrong, your mistake is that you shouldn't live in this world at all."

Li Juan smiled miserably, "Did you know? Your grandpa Li sacrificed his own grandson for you to live in this world well."

Staring at Xiao Bai, Li Juan still didn't understand, "Tell me, why? For your Xiao family, he can use my Mingming as your shield, and suffer what should belong to you again and again. The second assassination, why?"

As Li Juan said, she laughed self-deprecatingly, "That's right, for the sake of the Xiao family, he can sacrifice himself, let alone his grandson, who he doesn't care about at all."

Hearing all this, Xiao Bai was shocked. In fact, he always thought that Grandpa Li's leaving without saying goodbye was to get rid of him. Say goodbye.

Over there, Li Juan continued, "You may not know that your mother died together with mine, and it was all for you, for you, so it would be great if there were no you."

Seeing Li Juan's mouth opening and closing, Xiao Bai's ears were buzzing, everything, how could it be like this, didn't mother die of illness?

Xiao Bai's heart was in a mess, and his heart beat a little fast, but there was a sudden scolding sound from over there.

Li Jianguo spoke loudly and looked at Li Juan, "Shut up and go back to your room!"

Turning to look at Xiao Bai, he smiled gratifiedly, "When I grow up, I'm very similar to your father and grandfather."

Xiao Bai looked suspiciously at the kind old man smiling in front of him, "Who are you?"

Li Jianguo never thought that after many years, he has changed a lot, and when he left Xiao Bai that year, Xiao Bai was only six years old.

Hearing Xiao Bai's answer like this, Li Jianguo thought to himself that he was really confused.

He reached out and patted Xiao Bai's shoulder, "Come with me" and then looked at Li Juan, "Why are you still sitting there? Go back to your room."

Xiao Bai sat on the stool, Li Jianguo searched there, and found a photo.

"This is?" Xiao Bai asked.

Passing the photo to Xiao Bai, Li Jianguo smiled, "Look for yourself."

There are three people in the photo, he is on the top, and the other is his mother. Standing behind them is a middle-aged uncle, and that person is Grandpa Li.

Xiao Bai raised his head in surprise, his voice trembling, "Are you Grandpa Li?"

Li Jianguo nodded and sat down on Xiao Bai's right, "Not bad."

"But, aren't you...?"

"I have no other choice." Li Jianguo smiled wryly.

"Then why did you do this? And what happened back then?"

Sighing, Li Jianguo got up, took out something beside the bed, and looked carefully, it was clearly what Li Juan had been thinking about all along.

Handing it to Xiao Bai, Li Jianguo said, "This is your grandfather's diary, which will tell you some things, and I will tell you the rest.

Li Jianguo was slightly lost in thought, looking out of the window, turning back time and returning to many years ago.

Myanmar Golden Triangle

On a flat ground in the middle of the mountain, there is a smell of war. Xiao Zhaolin is lying behind the mountainside, feeling a little anxious. The war has lasted for a day and a night. He is tired and hungry now, and he is even more worried about Mencius. .

Some time ago, Meng Ziru suffered a gunshot wound trying to save him, but he was still stubborn, and this time he must go to the battlefield.

Fortunately, this is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, otherwise they will be finished.

Now they don't know how long they can last. Back then, they followed General Xie and beat the Japanese devils all the way to this exotic mountainous area where they could eat people. It was nowhere in sight to return to the north, and it was hopeless to go south to Taiwan. The road forces are fighting, the Burmese government army, the Thai military, and various bandits. Either you will be killed by me today, or he will kill me tomorrow.

Now they really have no way out, Taiwan does not want them, and the way back to the motherland has been cut off.

They are already a group of people with no tomorrow, but in order to survive and return to their home one day, they still have to work hard, even if the hope is slim.

In the early morning of the next day, the war that lasted for two days and one night finally came to an end.

Xiao Zhaolin didn't have time to catch his breath, so he quickly stood up and walked towards Mencius Ru, looking at Mencius Ru lying there who was so tired like a dog, Xiao Zhaolin secretly cursed that he deserved it, but he gently lifted Mencius Ru up with his hands .

"Are you all right? You are not with Wang Guogang, where did he go?"

Meng Ziru forced himself to open his eyes, his voice was hoarse and feeble, as the two were talking, Wang Guogang rushed over to hold Meng Ziru's other arm, and then the three of them walked towards the dormitory together, not far from their dormitory. There is a bamboo forest far away, and they must pass through the bamboo forest to return to the dormitory.

Seeing that he was about to go to the dormitory, Xiao Zhaolin suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, and turned to look at the other two, "You guys wait here for a while, I'll be back in a while."

Meng Ziru smiled, "It's okay, you can go."

Wang Guogang also nodded.

After finishing his own affairs, Xiao Zhaolin was about to stand up and leave, but two people walked over there. Xiao Zhaolin was also embarrassed, so he didn't move, and wanted to wait until the two left before leaving.

Zheng Anlan looked at the lieutenant general in front of him, and said with a heavy tone, "What's the matter, has there been an answer from Myanmar?"

The lieutenant general nodded, "It is said that we must rely on them, and they will help us repel the Thai army."

Zheng Anlan didn't speak, thinking, "How long can we fight the Thai army at most?"

The lieutenant general spoke weakly, "The food can last up to two days, and the bullets are even less, and there is no way out. I'm afraid we won't be able to last for a few days."

Zheng Anlan was also anxious, but the two of them couldn't just agree to take refuge. Those older soldiers would definitely fight you desperately if you said to take refuge.

"Okay, let's wait for two more days, it's really not possible, hey... Those old things should also rest!"

Zheng Anlan patted the lieutenant on the shoulder, turned and left.

The lieutenant followed behind Zheng Anlan. He hadn't eaten for two days. He was hungry and tired. He couldn't stand for a while. He fell to the right, but he bumped into a few bamboo trees and supported him.

Hearing the voice, Zheng Anlan turned her head and said with a caring tone, "Are you all right?"

The lieutenant smiled, "It's okay, just go back to sleep." He didn't notice what fell from his arms at all.

Xiao Zhaolin hid behind and was shocked when he heard all this.They actually wanted to seek refuge in Burma, but the old soldiers would never agree to such a thing that amounted to treason. Where did they want to put those old soldiers?Is it true, as they say, to kill those who bought their lives for the country.

Standing up in a daze, Xiao Zhaolin walked outside, but kicked something, Xiao Zhaolin lowered his head, it was something wrapped in cloth.

Bending down to pick it up, Xiao Zhaolin opened it. It was a few letters. After looking at it, it was the correspondence between Zheng Anlan and Myanmar. On the letter was printed the big badge of the Myanmar side, and there were four big characters to Zheng Anlan.

Xiao Zhaolin's heart fluttered, he quickly hid the letter in his bosom, walked a few steps, as if remembering something, walked back, found a secret place, hid the letter well, and then went out.

On the other side, the lieutenant returned to his dormitory and was about to go to bed, but he remembered what Zheng Anlan had told him to bring, and put his hands into his arms, the lieutenant showed an unbelievable expression on his face. After searching, but still not there, the lieutenant stopped what he was doing, thought for a while, and strode outside.

The only thing that made him suspicious was the bamboo forest where he almost fainted just now. The things were still there this morning.

Here Xiao Zhaolin was restless because of the belief, and the lieutenant almost dug three feet into the ground, but he still couldn't find anything. He knew in his heart that if the thing was seen by those rigid old soldiers, he would kill them. Those people don't even want their lives for the sake of the country, how could they allow their leaders to do such a thing.

The deputy general had no choice but to find Zheng Anlan. When Zheng Anlan heard the deputy general's words, she was almost pissed off, but the most important thing now is to find something. The two finally found Xiao Zhaolin, Meng Ziru, and Wang Guogang. , I knew in my heart that no matter which one of them it was, the three of them would not be able to live.

The two people here are planning how to get rid of the three of them, but there are people from the Celestial Dynasty, and there are many people. For a while, all the soldiers in the Golden Triangle are crying with joy. They can finally return to the country. Their wish for so many years, Nothing else, even after death, I hope that the ashes can be scattered on the land of the motherland, which is their root.

Zheng Anlan was in a panic. He thought there was no hope of returning home. Now that he was able to go back, he should be happy. But, with those things, how could he return home?

In the end, they went back, all of them, but the four of them now could never have imagined that a few pieces of paper created the fate of the four families, including Wang Guogang and Mencius who didn't know the truth from the beginning to the end .

Speaking of this, Li Jianguo stopped and could only sigh. Who would have thought that the disappearance of the Xiao family, the ruin of the Meng family, and the demise of the Wang family were all due to a few pieces of paper. When Xiao Zhaolin told him back then, he couldn't believe it.

Xiao Bai woke up from the story, looked at the old Grandpa Li in front of him, thought of his grandpa, who sacrificed so many people for a secret, and didn't know if it was worth it.

Looking down at the notebook in his hand, he touched it, not knowing what to say.

Li Jianguo stood up, looked at Xiao Bai, with a kind face on his face, "Okay, go back and read it again, it contains everything you want to know, but remember, the letter cannot be handed over to others casually, Zheng Anlan's power is beyond our imagination, Before you can determine whether that person is related to Zheng Anlan, you must not give the thing to that person, which is why your grandfather hid the letter and did not hand it in."

Holding the notebook tightly in his arms, Xiao Bai nodded, and finally asked, "That, when was my mother?"

Li Jianguo couldn't help it, so he opened his mouth, "When you were five years old, Zheng Anlan found us. Your mother and I had no choice but to switch you and Mingming and leave. This is the only thing you can grow up alive. Method."

Xiao Bai continued, "Then your grandson...?"

Li Jianguo sighed and looked outside, "I'm sorry for their mother and son. Mingming and your mother died in a car accident back then."

Xiao Bai didn't ask any more, he knew in his heart that Li Juan should hate him that much.

It was already dark when Xiao Bai left the nursing home, so he ate something outside and went home.

On the other hand, Meng Jinlan is currently staying in the hospital. His uncle was involved in a car accident that day, and he was hit badly. He even killed a woman passing by. His father was arrested on suspicion of money laundering and economic fraud. and the right to challenge the appeal.

The family of the woman who was killed by his uncle also did not agree to be private, and everyone who made a fuss knew that their Meng family bullied others by virtue of their power and power, forcing them to agree to private.

His uncle still hasn't come to his senses, and he can't explain how he bumped into someone in that place. You know, that road is generally not allowed to pass people.

Lei Jia

Lei Haoxian sat on the sofa, looked at Lei Changsheng in front of him and didn't speak.

Lei Changsheng smiled, "Father, why are you doing this again? Today Dad has something to do with me."

Lei Haoxian was a little annoyed, "Didn't the two of you not be allowed to meet recently? You have to know, the more this is the case, the more you can't take it lightly."

Lei Changsheng leaned his body on the sofa and waved his hands, "Got it, you're so boring."

Lei Haoxian: ...

"However, what business does your father want with you today?" Lei Haoxian asked.

Lei Changsheng was in a better mood, "Well, Dad said, I can go back to Zheng's house after the affairs of Xiao's and Meng's are over."

Hearing what Lei Changsheng said, Lei Haoxian was also happy, and it would be hard for him to have an ancestor at home.

Sitting on the bed, Xiao Bai took the notebook on the bedside table, a little nervous, and gently opened it. Inside was a diary written by his grandfather, without a date, and the diaries were of different lengths.

I can't tell anyone that my wife is just a pawn, a pawn carefully designed by the Zheng family. In the past few years we had a child, I thought she would tell me everything, but it turned out that I was just being sentimental, so, then Don't blame me for being ruthless, it's your own choice.

I'm in a bad mood today, and I have completely broken with the Meng family. I don't know if I did it right?Obviously, I can prevent Meng Baoer's death from happening, but I can't make a move. Once I make a move, Zheng Anlan will know that I picked up that thing back then.

It's cold, and my heart is a little cold. Ziru has changed too much, which makes me feel strange, extreme, crazy, and very sad. Meng Baoer's death gave Ziru too much pain. If I knew the current situation at the beginning, I would Will you still do that?

I almost handed over the letter today. If I hadn’t been extra cautious, I would have confessed where I am today. Zheng Anlan’s ambitions are too high and her connections are extensive. It was the first time I felt confused, but now I can’t find anyone I can trust. up.

I am really old, and Cheng Jin and Fang Fei are also grown up. Now I really regret picking up that thing back then. I haven’t mentioned it for so many years because I hope the Zheng family will let us go. Unfortunately, I think it’s easy.

Recently, the health has become worse and worse, and the Zheng family has become more and more aggressive. I know they don't plan to wait any longer, but now they really can't find anyone who can trust them. Cheng Jin's temper is too strong, so I can't tell his.

I saw Jianguo by chance today, I was a little sad, Jianguo is also old, I was the one who felt sorry for him back then, and went to Myanmar without saying a word, he probably thought I was dead long ago!

There is really no other way, no one can convince me, only to go to Jianguo, I know, no matter how many years have passed, he is still the one who would give up his life for me, and sure enough, he still hasn’t changed, a bit stupid, He said he could do anything for me, and felt sad, we are all old and wasted our time.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai didn't read any more. There are some things that he shouldn't know.

And those letters were hidden in the notebook's interlayer, Xiao Bai took them out, some yellowed letters, but decided the fate of four families and three generations, it's God's will.

Xiao Bai on Meng Jinlan's side doesn't know what's going on, the two haven't seen each other for several days, don't you think this looks like a couple who just got married?But the reality is pressing, even if he thinks about others, Xiao Bai has to resist the urge to call Meng Jinlan back.

And Meng Jinlan's side is really bad. His uncle was judged as a vegetable by the doctor, and his father can't even see him now, and his second uncle doesn't care about things. He was waiting to watch a play. As for his grandfather, he didn't know what happened in the past two days. He kept saying that he was not feeling well, but he went to the hospital for an examination, but there was no problem.

Now he is the only one in the Meng family who is busy with work. The old uncles who made good friends in the past are all hiding faster than one at this time.

Meng Jinlan always felt restless at night, couldn't sleep, and panicked, so when there was movement in his grandfather's room, he rushed over immediately.

Seeing her grandfather lying on the ground, Meng Jinlan's heart tightened, and she quickly called for an ambulance.

Beautiful Harmony Hospital

"Quick, quick, send it to the first operating room, Dr. Wang has arrived."

Seven or eight doctors and nurses hugged the nursing bed and quickly walked through the corridor, some supported the infusion tube, and some kept paying attention to the data fluctuations displayed on the bedside instruments, and their footsteps were noisy.Meng Jinlan was anxious but there was nothing she could do, she followed closely behind the doctor, and when he reached the door of the operating room, he was kicked out by the nurse.

After Xiao Bai received Meng Jinlan's call, he put on his clothes and hurried to the hospital.

The car drove fast all the way, and arrived at the Meixie Hospital not long after. Xiao Bai drove in through the dedicated passage, stopped the car under the building, and hurried upstairs.

Xiao Bai's expression was serious, and he looked at Meng Jinlan with concern, "How's it going?"

Meng Jinlan didn't speak, but hugged Xiao Bai fiercely.

Xiao Bai sighed, hugged Meng Jinlan back, and patted Meng Jinlan's back, "Don't worry, it will be fine."

Meng Jinlan buried her head in Xiao Bai's arms, "Just now the doctor said it was... that Grandpa's sudden illness this time might really not make it through," her voice hoarse.

Xiao Bai hugged Meng Jinlan tightly, "Don't worry, it will be fine."

The doctors in the operating room are also very anxious at the moment. Everyone is paying attention to the changes in the instruments in front of them. The heart monitor, electrocardiogram machine, and electroencephalograph machine, the data fluctuate and the indicator lights are flashing. , one is adjusting the machine next to the multifunctional respiratory therapy machine, next to the pacemaker, infusion pump... and the other is standing in front of a touch screen to input data and wait for the leader to instruct the next action.

Meng Jinlan's heart was beating so hard that she couldn't sit down, and kept walking back and forth at the door of the operating room.

And the dean Liu Mingming who received the call here also rushed to the hospital tomorrow. With the help of other nurses, Liu Mingming changed into a sterile suit and rubber gloves while walking towards the operating room.

Meng Jinlan's heart settled when she saw Liu Mingming who was walking quickly. When she walked in front of Liu Mingming, she said in a low and hoarse voice, "President Liu, I will leave it to you, Grandpa."

Liu Mingming's expression became serious when he heard this, and he looked at Meng Jinlan, "I can only do my best."

Meng Jinlan nodded, staring at Liu Mingming's back, full of anticipation.

The lights in the operating room were always on, and as time passed, Meng Jinlan's heart sank to the bottom.

With a "snap", the lights in the operating room finally went out. Meng Jinlan was taken aback, but she didn't step forward.

The door was opened, Liu Mingming came out, Xiao Bai pulled Meng Jinlan to Liu Mingming, and asked, "Dean Liu, what's the matter?"

Liu Mingming had a sad look on his face, and his voice was dark, "We have tried our best, let's go see each other for the last time!"

Meng Jinlan's body swayed when he heard this, Xiao Bai hurriedly pulled the person to lean against him, "Go in, don't waste time."

Meng Jinlan stood up straight, took two steps forward, but then stepped back and grabbed Xiao Bai's hand, "Will you go in with me?"

"Okay." Xiao Bai nodded.

Mr. Meng's eyes were half-opened, looking at the two young people in front of him, he wanted to laugh, but he didn't have the strength to move the corner of his mouth, and his voice was weak, "Jinlan, grandpa... grandpa can't accompany you anymore... your father...you Don't blame him, it's Grandpa's fault."

Meng Jinlan just nodded vigorously, trying to say something, but couldn't make a sound.Mr. Meng looked at Xiao Bai again, "Xiao family boy, I am the most sorry in my life... I am sorry for your Xiao family, but this is not Jinlan's fault, so..." Mr. Meng's voice became more urgent, "Don't blame me. Jinlan, you two are doing well... okay... okay?"

Xiao Bai was speechless, turned his head to look at Meng Jinlan whose eyes were twinkling, and then at Mr. Meng who looked expectant, and finally said, "Okay."

Only then did Mr. Meng feel relieved, but when he thought of his three sons, who would not be able to see each other for the last time, he told Meng Jinlan, "Help me say sorry to your father, your uncle...Second uncle, let them take care of themselves." , don't make trouble."

Meng Jinlan nodded vigorously, her voice was crying, "I will, Grandpa."

Mr. Meng finally smiled, "Take care of yourself" with a dazed expression, as if he saw someone he missed for many years, and murmured softly, "Zhaolin, Bao'er, I'm here to accompany you!"

After taking a last look at the two people standing in front of the hospital bed, Mr. Meng slowly closed his eyes, and the instrument suddenly let out a miserable scream, which penetrated into the hearts of the people.

Tears finally fell from the corners of her eyes, Meng Jinlan hugged Xiao Bai, venting the grief in her heart, roaring silently.

Holding the person in his arms, Xiao Bai said softly, "There's me too, don't cry, I will always be by your side."

Meng Jinlan only nodded.

The author has something to say: In the next chapter, the author will write a side story about why Mr. Meng hates Mr. Xiao.
