He and she are people who crawled out of a nightmare (2)(1/2)
Chapter 218: He and she are both people crawling out of nightmares (2)
Gu Mingxi left the presidential palace and received a call from Xiaobai, but she still couldn't find Huo Linmo. In the ward just now, she clearly felt that Huo Dongming's body was really weak. If Huo Linmo was not found again, the situation would be unimaginable.
.
An idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of a place where Gu Mingxi wanted to try his luck.
****************Ask for the dividing line of monthly tickets****************
The car stopped at the door. Gu Mingxi saw that the guardrail at the door was open. He hurried to the door and knocked quickly, "Open the door. I know you are inside."
"Open the door! Crown Prince, Your Excellency is critically ill. You must return to the Presidential Palace now!"
The cold voice did not respond in the silent night.
Gu Mingxi did not give up and continued to knock on the door. His tone became even colder, "Huo Linmo, open the door!"
There was still no response. When Gu Mingxi was hesitating whether to break through the door directly, the door suddenly opened, and the dark figure standing in the darkness was vaguely visible through the bright moonlight.
"How do you know I'm here?" Huo Linmo frowned. He didn't turn on the light. How could she be so sure?
"Intuition." The last time he brought his injured self here, she felt that this place should be very important to him.
Huo Linmo glanced at her interestingly, turned around and walked into the house. Behind the house were wooden seats with wine glasses and bottles. It seemed that he was drinking here alone.
Gu Mingxi followed him, saw him sitting down, and said: "Your Excellency is critically ill now, you have to return to the Presidential Palace!"
"What does it have to do with me that he is critically ill?" Huo Linmo raised his eyebrows. His indifferent expression showed no concern for Huo Dongming's critical illness. He picked up the wine glass and swayed gently, letting the red liquid hit the wall of the glass and then slowly slide down.
"Now that the Secretary-General has blocked the news, not many people know about it. Once the news is leaked tomorrow, your situation will be very dangerous. Only the Presidential Palace can guarantee your safety, and -" The voice paused, and when he spoke again, he said
A bit heavy, "He is your relative!"
Huo Linmo held his chin with one hand, blinked his butterfly-wing eyelashes slightly, and looked at her interestingly, "So?"
Dai Mei frowned. She sat on the wooden chair and thought of what Huo Dongming said. Looking at Huo Linmo in front of her, she knew that all his cynicism and romantic nature were all disguised. He was just a man who lost his mother.
Just poor people.
Huo Linmo saw "sympathy" in her eyes. The handsome face instantly darkened, and his thin lips curled slightly: "Don't look at me with that look, if you don't want me to dig out your eyeballs!"
"If you don't want me to look at you like this, don't do these things again. It's not worth it." Gu Mingxi said calmly, reached for the cup next to him, poured half of the cup and took a sip.
"What did I do?"
"Pretend that you don't care about anything, don't let others see you clearly, hurt your loved ones around you and hurt yourself."
"You are wrong! I only have one relative, who was hidden by them when I was five years old." After Huo Linmo finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the glass, looked at her again, and sneered: "Relatives?
Is Huo Dongming worthy?"
"I don't know." She paused and looked at him with clear eyes: "I only know that since I can't go back, I can only move forward."
"Keep moving forward, accept his arrangement, become president, and lose yourself?" Huo Linmo squinted his eyes, and the sadness disappeared in a flash.
"Maybe fate is the most failed screenwriter, so why don't we be the best actors in this scene?"
Huo Linmo didn't say anything. He poured himself another glass of wine and drank it down. The cold liquid flowed in his esophagus, making him feel as if he was suffocating.
He remembered that when he was a child, he lived with his mother in a poor village, and he did all kinds of sneaky things to make a living. After his mother found out, she would beat him very hard every time, crying while beating him, and she would hold him and question him until the end.
Why can't you be a good person and be an upright and responsible person?
Although he lived a very miserable life at that time, and looked like a pig or a dog in the eyes of these wealthy people, he felt very happy at that time because he could hold his mother in his arms at night. But since returning here, he has only been cold and numb.
When Huo Linmo was about to drink again, Gu Mingxi grabbed his wrist and stared straight at her. The words that he almost blurted out several times couldn't help but say at this moment, "Have you ever thought about how many years she has?
Maybe he's gone. Don't you even want to see your last relatives off?"
Huo Linmo's eyes suddenly sank, as if he was staring at her with anger. If it were anyone else, he would have broken the other person's neck. Because it was Gu Mingxi, he suppressed the anger in his heart.
He has been searching for so many years, sneaking into country C, country M, and country A countless times just to find his mother, but to no avail. He also thought that after so many years, maybe she is no longer alive.
When I heard her say this today, an uncontrollable sadness flowed through my body. Since she said this, Huo Dongming must have told her something...
She knew it all.
The ringtone of the cell phone rang a little unexpectedly in the empty night. When Gu Mingxi saw the number, he subconsciously looked at the person opposite. He lowered his eyes, the moonlight blurred his expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Hey..." Gu Mingxi's expression changed within ten seconds after answering the phone. She cut the phone and said to him immediately, "We must go back now. Your situation has changed again!"
Huo Linmo looked at her with indifferent eyes and sat there without moving.
Gu Mingxi had already stood up, his eyes flashing anxiously, "Huo Linmo, you are not a cruel person! Lying there is your last relative in this world. He also loved you when you were a child. No matter what you are when you grow up,
No matter how bad you do, he tolerates you and indulges you, not only because you are the best choice for the crown prince, but also because you are his grandson and his only relative!"
She didn't believe that Huo Linmo had no feelings at all about Huo Dongming's death!
Huo Linmo's body froze, he raised his head and looked at her with disbelieving eyes, his thin lips pursed in a colorless arc, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Gu Mingxi was already thinking that if he really refused to come back, she would take him back even if she knocked him unconscious!
Before she could take action, Huo Linmo suddenly stood up, grabbed her hand and ran outside as if his soul had returned to him. The wind brushed past her ears, and her palm was held tightly by him, and she could even feel it.
The fingertips were trembling slightly.
***************Looking for the dividing line of monthly tickets******************
When they rushed back to the Presidential Palace and walked to the door of the ward, the Secretary-General stood at the door and saw their desolate bodies with heavy expressions and their eyes filled with sadness.
"Your Excellency...just left." Huo Linmo had already spoken before he stopped walking.
Huo Linmo raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't believe his words. He strode to the door and kicked it as usual. When he saw the stopped medical equipment, the blood on his face gradually dissipated...
Huo Dongming was lying on the hospital bed without any reaction. His old skin was full of wind and frost, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and the raised meridians on his hands were all evidence left by the years!
"You haven't returned my mother to me, and you haven't defeated me, so you can't die..." Her voice trembled softly, and she stepped forward to grab Huo Dongming's clothes. His eyes suddenly turned red, "Get up...you
How can you continue to fight with me if you are not alive... You can only continue to fight with me if you are alive... Get up..."
Gu Mingxi saw something like crystal flashing in the corners of his eyes.
Crying sometimes is not because of sadness or sadness, but just a kind of empty nerve sustenance.
"Crown Prince..." The secretary-general stepped forward to stop Huo Linmo, but Gu Mingxi reached out to stop him and shook his head invisibly.
The secretary-general looked stunned...
Although Huo Linmo has been an enemy of Huo Dongming for so many years and has been against him everywhere, at least Huo Dongming is still alive and can accompany him, and now Huo Dongming is gone.
Ji Weiliang also left...
From then on, Huo Linmo was really alone and had no relatives anymore.
Never again.
"What will happen to this country if you die? Don't expect me to help you...don't even think about it!" Huo Linmo clenched his clothes tightly with his fingers, his fingers turned pale with force, and he almost choked.
But no matter how noisy he was, Huo Dongming would never open his eyes and scold him: Bastard!
Everyone died and he was the only one left.
Gu Mingxi walked up to him, put her fingers on his arm, and said softly: "Crown Prince, please let your Excellency go in peace."
Huo Linmo glanced at her with scarlet eyes, then looked at Huo Dongming, and the strength in his hands gradually loosened.
He really didn't expect that he wouldn't even see this old guy for the last time.
He didn't know, really didn't know that Huo Dongming would be so angry with him that he would fall ill, and he didn't know that his body was so vulnerable and he was still holding on.
He was sitting slumped on the chair with a dull look on his face, staring at Huo Dongming with dull, unfocused eyes, biting the corners of his lips and almost bleeding.
The Secretary-General was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "Before you die, you promised us to help you become the president of country e. Tomorrow, the Presidential Palace will announce the funeral. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, and a war between the left and right wings, I propose to hold a press conference in a week.
, read the oath of office."
Huo Linmo didn't react at all, as if he didn't hear anything.
There was silence.
"Crown Prince..."
"I don't want to be the president!" Huo Linmo gritted his teeth and squeezed out five words. He didn't want to be the president at all. Once he became the president, he would have to carry this heavy burden for the rest of his life. He didn't want it!
"Crown Prince!" The secretary-general frowned and looked at him with displeasure, "This is not the time for you to be willful. You have to do whatever you want or don't want to do. There is no choice."
"I said I won't be president!" Huo Linmo tilted his head, his scarlet eyes extremely stern, "Whether you find someone to do it or abolish the hereditary system, it has nothing to do with me!"
The secretary-general's face turned cold for a moment, "Crown Prince, Your Excellency used to protect you, but now that Your Excellency is gone, if you don't become the president, do you think you still have a chance to survive?"
There is no need to wait for him to take action, as soon as Huo Linmo leaves the gate of the Presidential Palace, people on the left and right will kill him immediately!
Huo Lin met him with a livid expression, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Gu Mingxi, who was standing silently aside. He curled his lips and said, "It's fine if you want me to be the president, unless you let her marry me."
Gu Mingxi was stunned, not expecting that Huo Linmo would point the finger at him.
The secretary-general immediately denied, "No! Anyone can do it, but she can't!"
"I only want her!" Huo Linmo squeezed out four words decisively, with an extremely decisive attitude.
The secretary-general's brows were so furrowed that he could kill several flies. If he hadn't been entrusted by Your Excellency before his death, he would have been the first to strangle this bastard crown prince to death.
He glanced at Gu Mingxi with a deep look, turned around and left.
