A few days later, Song Meilan was discharged from the hospital.
She was in a daze. Her mental state was greatly affected and she did not speak much.
Huo Beichen brought her to his villa.
After a few days of rest, his body had recovered a lot, and he didn't look as dispirited as before. However, the person who didn't speak much to begin with had become even more taciturn. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn't say a word.
He hired a nanny to take care of Song Meilan. Then, he started to take over his father's small company. He suspended all his projects and began to enter the real estate industry.
He became so busy that sometimes he even forgot to eat. As his only good friend, Su Ye, who was waiting for school to start during the summer vacation, became his personal assistant. Every time it was mealtime, she would bring food to him.
It was not until a few days later that the police found him.
The police sighed and said, "Ms. Song is mentally unstable. We did not dare to come into contact with her. However, we still have to inform you of the progress of the case."
Huo Beichen nodded. At that time, he sat in the office and began to put on his suit. He looked like an adult and his body was faintly imposing.
The police said, "Huo Nan fled the country on the day of the incident. The Huo family said that they were willing to pay a large sum of money. They also said that this was a dispute between students and that it was an accident. Moreover, he was not even 18 years old. They also found the best lawyer to acquit Huo Nan."
Huo Nan was Huo Beichen's cousin. He was indeed one year younger than him.
It was Huo Nan's 18th birthday on the day he filled in his application form. The group of people had originally planned to go out for dinner and drinks.
If the Huo family insisted that he was not 18 years old, it would make sense.
However …
Huo Beichen said calmly, "The law is not a weapon to protect underage criminals."
The police nodded. "We have already applied for an international arrest warrant. However, we do not know his exact location. After all, the world is so big …"
It was troublesome to handle a cross-border case. Moreover, the Huo family had donated a large sum of money to foreign countries. Huo Nan could also be maliciously protected and it would be difficult to arrest him.
The police said that they had applied for an international arrest warrant. However, this arrest was indefinite. No one could guarantee when they would be able to arrest him.
The police had done what they could. Huo Beichen nodded.
After sending the police away, he sat on the sofa for a long time.
After a while, his phone rang. He picked it up. An old voice came from the other side. "I'm Grandpa."
Grandpa … what a strange name.
Huo Beichen lowered his eyes, his gaze cold. "Yes."
"You and Huo Nan are brothers. Let's forget about this matter. He made such a mistake and can't return to China for the rest of his life. Consider it his punishment. Come back to the old house. The future of the family is all yours. Are you satisfied with this? "
Huo Beichen snorted coldly. He raised his head and looked straight ahead. Then, he said faintly, "Huo Nan is a good-for-nothing. There's no one left to inherit the Huo family, right? You want to beg me to go back, and you want to negotiate with me? "
"Huo Beichen, don't be too proud! I have such a big business … "
Huo Beichen was in a daze. What would she say if she was in the same situation?
Thinking of this, he interrupted them, "Go feed the dogs."
With that, he hung up the phone.
After hanging up, he picked up his phone again and looked at the number that was saved on it: Fei Bai.
Ever since the incident, Fei Bai had come to find him many times, but he had always avoided him. This was because Fei Bai had not protected her well and had not fulfilled their promise.
But now …
Huo Beichen dialed his number. The phone rang and was picked up.
Fei Bai's voice was firm. "I owe you my life. I will follow you for the rest of my life. I will do whatever you want me to do, even if you want my life!"
"I don't want your life." Huo Beichen said faintly. "I want you to pay for your mistake."
Fei Bai replied, "Okay."
Huo Beichen raised his head and looked straight ahead. "I want you to bring Huo Nan back for me!"
"Okay."
No one knew where Huo Nan was hiding. Once he left the country, there was no telling when he would come back. But Fei Bai agreed without hesitation.
This was his code of brotherhood and his code of conduct.
With Ning Meng's help, Huo Beichen's company was doing very well.
When he was in his second year, the company was already listed. Huo Beichen had to run between school and the company. He was so busy that he had stomach problems.
He never missed classes. Even when he was in his first and second year, he had never skipped a single class. That was because the girl had told him not to skip classes anymore.
His company began to make money, and he was making a lot of money.
Now that he was rich, he would not be stingy with her anymore. But she never came back. She never showed up.
During his school days, he was a loner and became the weirdo in his class. But because of his good looks, he was named the most handsome guy in the school. Many girls were secretly in love with him.
There were even people who mustered up the courage to confess, but they only got one response. "I already have a girlfriend."
"Huo Beichen's girlfriend" became a hot topic in the hostel. After all, no one had seen this so-called girlfriend since they entered school.
Until one day, someone suddenly took a picture of Huo Beichen dragging a girl out of a club. The girl was beautiful, drunk, and disheveled. She was a famous playboy in the circle of the rich and powerful.
So, everyone was secretly amazed.
Who would have thought that Huo Beichen, who was favored by the heavens, would fall in love with such a slutty girl?
"Who are you? Why do you care about me? My dad said that I can do it after I'm twenty!! "
Ning Meng, the playboy, pushed Huo Beichen and yelled fiercely as she was dragged away. Today was her twentieth birthday, so she had found a big and sexy young man to celebrate.
She did not expect that she would be dragged out when she was ready!!
This was too much!
After yelling this, Ning Meng turned her head and wanted to continue, but Huo Beichen pulled her back with a cold look in his eyes.
If she had not said that she would marry this person in the future, he would not have believed that Ning Meng was her.
But since she had said that, she must have had her own reasons.
Or … she did not belong to this world, so she would leave sooner or later. If so, when she returned one day, would she be in this body?
He had to do as she said and protect this body.
Huo Beichen thought about this and grabbed her arm even harder, letting her get into the car. A group of people arrived at the Ning family's house.
Ning Wentao was reading some documents when the door was kicked open, giving him a shock.
He looked up and saw the upstart businessman, Huo Beichen, walking toward him.
Everyone in the business circle knew this man. He was too famous and sharp. Anyone who offended him would not have a good ending. He was like the King of Hell, ruthless and cruel.
No one dared to compete with him. Even when they were working together, they were careful not to offend him.
But now, Ning Wentao found out that someone in his company had stolen the Huo family's business … Ever since he found out about this, he had been on tenterhooks, afraid that the Huo family would take revenge on him.
So, when he saw him now, Ning Wentao was shocked.
He stood up and saw Huo Beichen walking toward him in big strides.
Ning Wentao was so scared that his legs were trembling.
The King of Hell was here for him!
Was he going to beat him up? Or was he going to dismember his body and throw it into the Pacific Ocean?
Or was he going to make him kneel down and beg for mercy?
Ning Wentao was so anxious that his mouth was dry. Seeing that Huo Beichen was in front of him, his knees buckled and he almost fell to the ground. Suddenly, Huo Beichen bowed 90 degrees, scaring Ning Wentao so much that he almost jumped up!
He stammered, "You … What are you doing?"
After Huo Beichen bowed, he raised his head. "Father-in-law, I'm here to deliver the betrothal gifts."
Ning Wentao was confused.
Ning Wentao was stunned. Huo Beichen had prepared two contracts in front of him. One was the prenuptial agreement, and the other was the divorce agreement.
Ning Wentao looked at the contracts and noticed his identification card. He gasped. "You … You're not even 22 years old. You can't get married."
"You don't have to worry about that." Huo Beichen's reply was respectful, although his expression was cold. "I'll bring her overseas to register."
He had planned to wait until she was 22 years old, but this playboy was getting more and more out of hand!
She had started to have boyfriends when she was 18 years old. By the time she was 20 years old, she had already had 30 or 40 boyfriends! And when she was 20 years old, she started to …
He did not have the status to control her, so he had to give himself one!
After the marriage, Huo Beichen did not care about Ning Meng at all. Even if she had a lot of boyfriends and kept a lot of people, he did not care.
He only had one request, and that was not to have any physical contact.
He would wait.
He would wait for the opportunity that she had mentioned.
But … one year, two years … three years, four years … a total of eight years had passed, and he still did not get the opportunity.
Until one day, the playboy girl could not figure it out anymore. She wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a building to force him to divorce her.
At that time, Huo Beichen thought to himself, 'If it doesn't work, then I'll just leave.'
The six years from the marriage was almost up, but there was no sign of her coming back.
At that time, Huo Beichen had already turned his company into a dominating existence. He had no more goals to strive for.
In the dead of the night, he would think that the words that she had said back then were probably lies to keep him alive …
She did not want to come back. She did not want to face Song Meilan and Huang Cheng's death.
In the long wait, in the 2930 days, he had gradually lost hope …
That was why when he had saved Ning Meng on the rooftop, he had not been sensitive enough to notice the changes in her. When she did not want to divorce him, he thought that she was messing around again.
Until …
One day, the property management of Yuxiu Garden suddenly called him, saying that there was a leak in their house, and they wanted him to sign a contract to fix it …
Actually, this kind of thing could have been done by looking for Qi Shan.
But somehow, he remembered the contents of the letter, and he went to look for her personally.
Qi Shan found the evidence that she had cleaned up her house.
Ning Meng raised her head and asked him, "Idol, my house was suddenly flooded. You need to renovate it. Can I stay at your place for a few days?"
At that moment, his heart was filled with desolation, and he finally had a little hope.
He stared at her with a gloomy gaze, but his heart was like a raging flood. He felt that his throat was blocked, and his voice was trembling. "What did you say?"
He knew that his opportunity was coming back.
Since then, he had started to pay attention to her, feeling the changes in her. Until when he was out on a business trip, Su Ye suddenly called and told him that she was type A.
But on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she had said that she was type O.
Type O … It was her!
She was back!
She was finally back, but he did not know why she did not remember him.
That night in the hotel, he did not sleep, afraid that it would all be a dream when he woke up.
It had been eight years, and he had waited for it.
Meng Meng, you are finally back.
…
…
Meng Meng, Meng Meng …
It was as if someone was shouting in her ears, causing Ning Meng to wake up.
She opened her eyes and realized that she was back in the rented house that she had rented in the real world. The old walls on the ceiling had started to peel off, and occasionally, something white would fall down.
The room was filled with a moldy smell, and it was very unpleasant and depressing.
Ning Meng's clothes were torn and tattered, and there were many burn marks on them, but she was completely fine.
She got up from the ground, and her eyes fell on the book in her hand. Everything that had happened in the book flashed through her mind …
Thinking about Huang Cheng's death, she felt as if a knife was stabbing into her heart. She bent down and held her chest.
The pain made her want to vomit.
She pressed on her chest until her emotions slowly subsided, and then she sat up straight.
She looked in front of her blankly.
It turned out that a life was so fragile.
Actually, Huo Nan's knife had been aimed at her shoulder. Even if it had hit, it would have been an injury at most. It would not have been fatal. However, Huang Cheng was much taller than her, and the knife had directly pierced through his heart.
Silly child …
How could he be so stupid …
Ning Meng buried her head, hugged her knees, and started to cry.
What should she do to revive Huang Cheng?
And Song Meilan must have hated her to the core.
That was why she had hired someone to assassinate her eight years later. That was why she had not hesitated to injure her in the old house …
Thinking about this, Ning Meng's heart ached even more.
She had been strong since she was young, and she was not a weak child. However, at this moment, facing the blood debt of a life, she was afraid. She wanted to run away.
If … if she did not go back, if she did not return to the world, would those things not have happened?
This thought made her look at the book, and she picked it up in a panic. She wanted to burn it. She felt that everything was like a dream, but when she picked up the lighter, she suddenly thought of …
There were people waiting for her.
Lord Chen would rather …
They were all waiting for her to go back.
Actually, anyone who encountered this kind of situation would think of running away. They would think of how good it would be if this had not happened. So, it was understandable that Meng Meng wanted to run away. But she would have to face it eventually. Muah! See you tomorrow ~ ~
