Chapter 62 The Fish Hooked
When Yuan Cheng heard that Lang Bai might still be alive in Burma, Zhou Zhengrong thought he would immediately rise up and take his youngest son out of the cracks in the ground and lock him back home.But unexpectedly, Yuan Cheng did not do this.
Even on the second day, he had no other reaction at all, and just sat in the office all day in a daze.
——Zhou Zhengrong will not understand, Yuan Cheng's mood at the moment is very delicate, even though he firmly believes that the jade carving master's words may be true, but there is always a voice in his heart reminding him: You can't believe it, you must not believe it, What if that person is not Ah Bai?
What if I really believed that Ah Bai was still alive, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding?
The most miserable thing in the world is not despair, but after a glimmer of hope rises in despair, it takes your hope away and knocks you down into the abyss of even more tragic despair!
Yuan Cheng, a man who has been a master of the wind and cloud for half his life, who is not afraid of anything, even incest, is really afraid at this time.He even thought weakly at one point that he might as well treat this trip to Burma as a dream, or just be so desperate to death.If hope is raised and he realizes that it was all a misunderstanding, he might as well turn around and jump off the building immediately to finish it off!
Yuan Cheng couldn't sleep on his last night in Myanmar.But when he returned to Hong Kong on the third day, he finally made up his mind to quietly send someone to the United States to investigate. It did not cause much disturbance, and it was only a hopeless temptation.
Before he issued this order, he had done a good job of psychological construction. What if he didn't find Lang Bai? What if he found him but found that he was just a person with a similar appearance? What if he found Lang Bai's body? manage.
At this time, Yuan Cheng had a list of suspicions in his mind, about the American friend who accompanied Lang Bai to Burma. Ike was the first on the list of suspicions?Tijuana——Of course, classmate Ike performed brilliantly on Lang Bai's birthday, leaving a deep impression on Yuan Cheng, and classmate Ike did have the ability to hide Lang Bai.
But the Tijuana family is not easy to mess with. They have ruled the border between Mexico and the United States for decades. Even the US ambassador to Mexico dared to kidnap, and even the US government dared to blackmail. People who hide their identities, how easy is that?
Therefore, the people sent by Yuan Cheng went in the wrong direction from the very beginning, and Lang Bai never went to classmate Ike's house.He has always stayed by Ross Thorn's side, but Ross Thorn is not at all in Yuan Cheng's heart.
Yuan Cheng's only impression of Rose Thorne was that once he met his youngest son on the horseback riding field, and Rose Thorne rode with him.Lang Bai introduced them briefly at the time, but Yuan Cheng didn't pay attention to this young American at all—Rosthorn and his family were from New York gangsters, and it was the fourth generation passed down to him. The foundation is not strong, the background is not deep, and there is no high-level government support for them as a backstage.If Yuan Cheng was a cunning tiger, Ross Thorn and his family were just a newborn wolf cub, posing no threat at all.
Therefore, when Wang Shufang told Yuan Cheng that "the young master is with the Rose Thorne family", Yuan Cheng's first reaction was surprise, and the second reaction was anger: what thing popped out of any corner dared to hide me son? !
Lang Bai has been feeling something is wrong for the past few days, inexplicably flustered in his heart, as if something beyond his control has quietly deteriorated in a corner he can't see.
The winter in the United States is far colder than that in Hong Kong. When we woke up in the morning, it was snowing heavily outside. The green branches of the pine trees were covered with snowdrifts, and passers-by were wrapped up like a ball walking around the side of the road. .Lang Bai was wearing a thick sheepskin coat and high leather boots. As soon as he got out of the car, he rubbed his hands in a white steam and trotted all the way to the gate of the company's office building.
There is a coffee shop in the Ground Level of the office building. Every morning before going to work, there is a line of ghosts waiting for their coffee and breakfast.Lang Bai waited for 10 minutes for his white tea and chicken roll, and immediately took the paper bag and hurried towards the elevator.
Who knew that the marble floor in the hall was stained with snow, and it was very slippery. Lang Bai walked in a hurry, so he slipped suddenly and almost fell.Luckily, Ross Thorn walked over quickly and stretched out his hand to help him: "Slow down, are you okay?"
Lang Bai took a deep breath, managed to stabilize the paper coffee cup, and shook his head in shock: "It's okay."
"Why are you in such a hurry, and no one is forcing you to go to work on time, so it doesn't matter if you are late for a while." Ross Thorne took the paper cup, "Is it not hot?"
Lang Bai shook his head, broke free from his support, and ran towards the elevator while biting the chicken roll.
Behind him, Rose Thorn looked at his hurried figure, smiled suddenly after a while, and then took a few steps to catch up.
Wrapped in the flow of people going to work, neither of them noticed that Yuan Cheng was sitting on the sofa in the corner of the coffee shop in the hall, watching them from a distance.
It's hard to say what obvious expression is on Yuan Cheng's face, at least in the eyes of others, his expression is quite indiscriminate and unpredictable.His gaze has been tightly locked on Lang Bai in the distance. If that gaze is real, it is estimated that Lang Bai has been pushed down and dragged countless times.
It wasn't until Lang Bai's figure disappeared in the elevator that Yuan Cheng turned his head, faced the sweating middle-aged American in front of him, and smiled.
That smile obviously has no special meaning, but makes Scrooge?Rosethorn could not help shivering.
"Now that you have seen it with your own eyes, Mr. Scrooge, don't you want to give me an account of your family's hiding of my son?"
Scrooge is Rose Thorne's father. As we introduced earlier, his greatest achievement in life is to marry a strong wife and give birth to a strong son.Regarding the third generation of this descendant family, people rarely see him in the media, and he has no commendable deeds or achievements.In fact, before Yuan Cheng found him, he was already planning to pack up and run to Queensland to spend a warm and long winter.
The first sentence Yuan Cheng said to him scared him out of his wits: "Mr. Scrooge, your son is suspected of putting my son under house arrest. What can you say about it?"
Of course Scroo knew that Ross Thorn didn't have the guts to kidnap the young master of the Yuan family, but his father said so!That is kidnapping!And now his father is looking for him to make trouble!
It was not difficult to investigate the young master of the Yuan family who was famous for being beautiful and also famous for being rebellious. In fact, with just a few instructions from Scrooge, someone immediately investigated all the grievances and grievances between Lang Bai and his father.This young master made it clear that he was forced to feign death to escape from the palace, and he didn't know what medicine Rose Thorne had taken wrongly, so he actually rescued the person Yuan Cheng named to kill!Still hidden for more than a year!
Isn't this obviously a problem with the Yuan family?
Scrooge is not like Rose Thorne's strong mother Patrixia, who was stunned when he saw the evidence, and was dragged over by Yuan Cheng to confirm it face to face when he was about to refuse to admit it.In the end, the facts were firmly established, that boy Ross Thorne had indeed brought Yuan Cheng's son home, and he seemed to have something wrong with his son!
Seeing Yuan Cheng's expression, Zhou Zhengrong couldn't help but tremble, and asked in a low voice: "President Yuan, would you please come here, young master?"
Yuan Cheng shook his head.
Zhou Zhengrong was puzzled: "Why..."
"It's not yet time." Yuan Cheng interrupted him, his smile was almost distorted, and even a trace of chill came out from between his teeth, "There are so many people and the venue is so big, be careful to scare him..."
Not only Zhou Zhengrong, but even Scrooge broke out in a cold sweat, "I, I'm going to ask someone to tie up your child and send it to you! I'll go right away!"
Before he got up, Yuan Cheng was furious: "Abduct me? Your family hid my son for more than a year, and now you dare to abduct him in front of me?! You treat him as his father, I am sitting here Dead?!"
Scrow shook the fat on his cheeks and gasped: "Yes, yes! NO, NO! I mean, I didn't mean that, I...I..."
"Even if you want to tie him up, I will personally tie him up, and it's not in the United States, it must be in Hong Kong. I don't care about waiting a few more days, but it must be safe." Yuan Cheng twisted the empty coffee cup tightly in his hand, Until he squeezed the paper cup into a twisted twist, "Listen, I'm going back to Hong Kong now, but you have to do what I tell you in the United States. If my son makes a mistake halfway, I'll fucking kill your son Butcher it and slice it into shreds! If you don’t believe me, try it!”
Scrooge's chubby face was almost drenched in sweat: "You, you, you say! Just tell me! I, I, I will definitely do it!"
Yuan Cheng stared at him for a long while with a gloomy expression, until Scrooge couldn't help but want to pee his pants, then he said coldly: "Listen to me..."
A few days later, when Rose Thorne came home, he received a rare call from his father, saying that he was going to Queensland for vacation soon, and he wanted his son to send him off before leaving.
Ross Thorn and his father had little contact with each other, and he didn't have much feelings for this cowardly father, but it's not surprising to get in touch with each other occasionally.He drove Scroo to the airport, only to hear his father "accidentally" mention that his Chinese kid's father, who was the chairman of the Yuan family, seemed to have had an accident in Hong Kong and was assassinated. Now the situation is unknown. How, has been sent to the famous XX hospital for emergency treatment.
Ross Thorne was taken aback.
He knew that Scrooge had some intelligence channels. Although he didn't know whether the news was true or not, there was no need for his father to lie to him about it, right?Moreover, Rose Thorne recalled it carefully, and indeed did not hear any news from the Yuan family in the past few days, which was very unusual for Rose Thorne, who had always paid close attention to the Yuan family's dynamics.
After Rossthorne went back, he told Lang Bai the news.
Lang Bai's face changed suddenly when he heard the news, and he couldn't say a word after a long time.Ross Thorne saw that his expression was different, so he couldn't help but pat him: "Hello? Are you okay?"
Lang Bai shuddered suddenly, seemed to have come to his senses suddenly, and immediately shook his head in denial: "It's fake, it must be fake. If it's true, the news would have been flying all over the sky, it's impossible..."
"I also thought it was fake at first, but then I thought about it again. It may be because the situation is dangerous and life or death is unknown, so I suppressed the news and refused to report it. If it was just a false alarm, it would have been brought out to stir up news. dont you agree?"
Lang Bai's hands and feet were cold, and his face was pale. It took a long time before he sneered: "Even if it's true, it's none of my business, I don't...I don't care about the Yuan family's affairs."
Ross Thorn tentatively asked: "You never thought about it, if your father really died..."
"Impossible!" Lang Bai sternly said reflexively, his voice was so hasty that he himself felt that he lacked confidence, "I don't believe it! There is no such possibility at all! Even if it really fails, it's none of my business!"
"Have you thought about going over to see your father one last time?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ross Thorne felt regretful. Sure enough, Lang Bai trembled, his eyes fixed on a misty point in the air, and he whispered after a long while: "I don't believe this at all...don't say it." , you go out,...Leave me alone for a while."
Rosethorn was also afraid of making too many mistakes, so he quietly exited the study and closed the door gently.
Lang Bai didn't leave the study room that night. He, a seldom smoker, even smoked half a pack of cigarettes in the room, coughing non-stop.
Rose Thorne could hear him pacing back and forth in the study, hesitating and hesitant, and he knew that it was Lang Bai struggling to return to Hong Kong.
Rose Thorne quietly recruited Ike, told him about the matter, and then told him: "In case Lang Bai really wants to return to Hong Kong, you arrange a few more people to follow him, and nothing will happen."
Ike's single-cell brain is much simpler than that of smart people like Rose Thorne and Lang Bai, and he immediately sensed something was wrong: "I don't think Lang Bai should go back. Since he escaped, he shouldn't go back. Isn't it very simple? How can anyone go back after breaking out of prison?"
Ross Thorn was too clever, and he sneered at Ike's thoughts: "You don't have to worry about it. In short, if Lang Bai wants to go back, you have to send someone to follow him all the way. There is a Chinese saying that is to be careful when sailing for thousands of years. One thing is always right."
Ross Thorne's concerns were obviously justified-although Lang Bai didn't say anything on the second day, and he didn't say anything on the third day, but on the fourth day, when it was reported from Hong Kong that the Yuan family sent someone to take the eldest prince Yuan Xiao from Taiwan When receiving the news, Lang Bai finally couldn't sit still.
He decided to go back to Hong Kong quietly alone.
