"It's probably a disturbance." Shen Mohan said, and then he heard the noise coming from downstairs getting clearer and clearer, and knew that someone had probably rushed into the hotel and was now coming upstairs.
An engineer next to him said: "Let's go through the back door next to it."
Shen Mohan asked an engineer named Tang who was stationed here: "How far is the embassy from here?"
The lean engineer had sweat dripping from his forehead and said in a trembling voice: "There are about two streets."
"Okay, let's go down right now." Shen Mohan made a quick decision.
Their original plan was to go downstairs to the garage and then drive to the embassy, but when they reached the second floor, they suddenly heard shouts from the other end of the corridor. Someone was shouting for help in Chinese.
Shen Mohan remembered that there were colleagues in the company who lived in the room on the second floor. They were also subordinates of the company. They were the first batch of engineers sent to the Philippines when this project was launched. During the meeting last night, he heard this engineer secretly complaining.
, said that he had not been home for three years.
Besides him, I don’t know how many other colleagues were kidnapped.
Shen Mohan stopped and said to the engineer stationed here: "You are familiar with this place. You can take everyone to the embassy first, and I will be there soon."
Everyone else around heard the shout just now and understood what was going on. Now after hearing Shen Mohan's words, they also understood his plan.
Assistant Xiao Li stood up hesitantly: "President, I'll go with you."
Shen Mohan frowned and scolded him sternly: "Don't make trouble! Follow them first."
Xiao Li's eye circles were red, and there was a rare resolute expression on his baby face. He gritted his teeth and repeated: "I'll go with you."
Shen Mohan gave Xiao Li a rare smile, and then said: "Isn't your girlfriend going back to China next month? You have to go back to see her safely." After that, he said to the engineer on the side: "Take him quickly.
Walk."
Xiao Li felt that his nose was sore. When his girlfriend called last month and said she was coming back to China, he was so happy that he danced with joy. When he entered Shen Mohan's office, he couldn't hold it back. He said to him happily: "President, my girlfriend
I’ll be back from abroad soon!”
But after he said that, he knew that he had said the wrong thing. The boss hadn't even gotten back his wife and children yet. He was alone, and he showed off his affection in front of him. It was typical of him to die quickly. Sure enough, Shen Mohan didn't even raise his eyes and continued.
Looking at his computer screen intently, Xiao Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He feels uncomfortable now. It turns out that the president heard it and still remembers it.
Another gunshot was heard not far away, and Shen Mohan knew that there was no further delay, so he ignored Xiao Li and turned around to run in the opposite direction.
Shen Mohan followed the sound of gunshots and found several engineers who had been kidnapped by militants. He said to the leader of the men in Tagalog: "I am their boss, just arrest me and kill them all."
Let it go."
That group of people naturally won't do it. It doesn't matter if you have one more hostage, but you can't have less.
Shen Mohan thought for a while, took off the watch from his wrist, threw it to the leading man, pointed at himself, and then communicated with them in Tagalog: "There is no difference between you arresting one Chinese and seven Chinese. There are more people."
On the contrary, it will easily ruin your affairs."
The bandit leader thought for a moment, then looked at the watch in his hand. It was a limited edition Vacheron Constantin. Then he waved his hand to his men, indicating that he should let the others go, and then personally tied the ropes to Shen Mohan.
Taking advantage of this moment, Shen Mohan whispered in Chinese to several engineers on the side: "Go to the back door of the hotel, go to the parking lot, and then drive to the embassy. Do you know where the embassy is?"
There was an engineer who was stationed here, and he nodded quickly after hearing this.
"No talking." The bandit leader heard them talking in Chinese and hit Shen Mohan hard on the back with a stick.
Shen Mohan groaned in pain. Fortunately, his body was strong, otherwise it would have been too much for him to bear the stick.
In addition to Shen Mohan, the hostages they took also included a Taiwanese businessman, four Americans, three Britons and a Middle Easterner.
Oh, by the way, there is also Xiao Li.
When Shen Mohan saw him, he was so angry that he shouted angrily: "Didn't I let you go? Why are you here again?"
Xiao Li's eyes were red and he was very aggrieved. He stammered: "I, I just got lost in the building, and then they caught me." He originally wanted to follow Shen Mohan, but Shen Mohan walked too far.
When he was almost there, he stopped to take a breath and found that the president was missing.
Shen Mohan was too lazy to pay attention to him and said no more.
The group of armed men must have kidnapped them to increase their leverage in negotiations with the government, so it wasn't too bad to treat them as hostages. A dozen of them were locked in a small room with water and food.
But the water supply is also limited.
Shen Mohan pushed the water bottle in front of him towards Xiao Li. Xiao Li was stunned and looked up at the boss.
Sensing Xiao Li's gaze, Shen Mohan glanced at him, then looked at the jug of water, and said with a look of disgust: "It smells weird, I can't drink it. I'll give it to you."
Xiao Li lowered his head and wiped his eyes secretly. He knew that Shen Mohan deliberately gave him the water to drink.
He worked as an assistant to Shen Mohan as soon as he graduated with his doctorate. Over the years, in the eyes of outsiders, it was him who was doing all kinds of official and private things for Shen Mohan, but in fact, Shen Mohan was always taking care of him.
In the middle of the night, Shen Mohan suddenly said to the sleepy Xiao Li: "Xiao Li, do me a favor."
"Huh?" Xiao Li rubbed his eyes, quickly cheered up and sat up straight. He didn't understand how he could help his boss.
Shen Mohan spoke slowly: "If I can't go back, tell Su Cen for me and let her find a good man to marry." After a long pause, he sighed unwillingly: "Mo Lingfeng
It's pretty good, Lin Zicong... he's not bad either."
He thought for a while and then said: "Also, you tell Yangyang not to forget me and not to call others daddy."
Xiao Li felt that his heart was filled with panic and his eyes were sore, but he still tried his best to squeeze out a smile: "President, are you kidding? If you really can't go back, then we both can't go back together. How can I help you?"
Words?"
Shen Mohan smiled and then added: "I mean if you can go back."
Just because of his words, Xiao Li had a vague premonition.
Sure enough, at dawn the next morning, Shen Mohan went to find the boss. I don't know what Shen Mohan said to him, but he actually agreed to let Xiao Li go.
Naturally, Xiao Li would rather die than obey. He thought, in fact, he was not as spineless as he thought.
Shen Mohan walked up to him, glanced at the other hostages in the room, and whispered to him: "You go first, or you will drag me down later."
Hearing this, Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized what Shen Mohan meant was that he didn't expect the government to rescue him and planned to escape on his own?
Seeing that he was still dazed, Shen Mohan added: "Have you forgotten what I said to you last night? You have to leave, and you have to bring me a message."
Xiao Li never thought that a grown man would cry so exaggeratedly. He sobbed and said, "I won't tell you anything! If you have the ability, just say those words to your sister-in-law!"
After saying this, Xiao Li still felt uneasy, so he held his neck and shouted at Shen Mohan: "What kind of man are you if you leave your wife and children behind?"
It was rare for Shen Mohan to be so kind. He even smiled and then said, "There was something I forgot to say yesterday."
Xiao Li looked at him blankly.
"Tell Su Cen," Shen Mohan said, "I have held on to her for so many years and delayed her happiness. I regret it now. Tell her to forget about me, take care of her son, and live a good life for the rest of her life."
"
Xiao Li was taken away in tears. He returned to China a week later. He kept asking about Shen Mohan's news all the way back, but no one knew.
He had multiple fractures on his body and was admitted to the hospital directly after returning to China. Many people came to see him, including Shen Jiaheng, who came to ask Xiao Li about the last time he saw Shen Mohan.
Xiao Li recalled the situation at that time: "A dozen of us were locked in a small room. I didn't know where we were. They covered my eyes with black cloth and threw me on the street. Later I
We walked all the way to the embassy.”
After a pause, Xiao Li murmured in a low voice: "I don't know what the president said to them, and then they let me go."
After listening to Xiao Li's words, Shen Jiaheng was silent for a long time.
After a long silence, he sighed, not knowing whether he was talking to Xiao Li or to himself: "He told the other party his identity."
The militants already know Shen Mohan's family background, so they are now bypassing the Philippine government and directly making requests to the Chinese Embassy for arms and US dollars.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether Shen Mohan reveals his identity or not, because the militants want not only ransom, but also arms and guns. In this case, the government will not agree to the other party's request in any case, and the only way is
While dealing with the militants, he tried to rescue the hostages.
Shen Jiaheng knew that no matter who the hostage was, they would never let go, and they would never agree to provide arms to the other side.
Shen Mohan revealed his identity just to make the other party think that he had an important bargaining chip, which made him even louder. He also hoped to save Xiao Li's life.
Su Cen rushed into the ward without knowing when, and knelt down in front of Shen Jiaheng. She cried and said: "Please, meet those people's requirements, give them whatever they want, and give Shen Mohan
Can you rescue him safely? He is your son!"
Shen Jiaheng quickly pulled Su Cen up and said helplessly: "Cen'er, don't be like this." The secretary next to him also came over to help Su Cen up.
Su Cen burst into tears: "If you don't think about him, you should also think about Yangyang. He is only 2 years old. What will they do without his father? What will I do?"
Shen Mohan was Shen Jiaheng's only son, and he was naturally more distressed than anyone else at this time, but he knew that even if the militants' demands were met, they would never let him back.
He said word by word: "Cen'er, listen carefully. We will not agree to those unreasonable demands, even if it is my son who is kidnapped now. But don't worry, our Shen family will make them pay ten times and a hundred times the price."
Three days later.
Negotiations between the Philippine government and the militants broke down. The government relied on a locator carried by a hostage to find the building where the militants were hiding. The military then took control of the entire building, and the militants escaped, but they had already arranged in the building
None of the soldiers who set off time bombs and entered the building to search for hostages managed to escape.
When the news came back to China, Shen Jiaheng asked his secretary to hide it from Gu Manyun and Su Cen, but they were already paying attention to this matter. Moreover, even though the domestic media had been silent, the foreign media had taken full advantage of the news.
The news is the headline.
Su Cen felt that she was unusually calm. She said to Shen Jiaheng: "They will definitely not leave Shen Mohan in that building. He is definitely still alive now."
Yes, the kidnappers haven't exchanged what they want. Killing the hostages will also anger the governments of various countries, which will do them no good at all.
But the next day, news came from the Philippines that the government troops had surrounded all the militants. The two sides engaged in an extremely fierce gun battle, and all the militants were annihilated. The government troops did not find any hostages around them.
.
Then there is only one possibility left. The militants left the remaining six hostages in the bombed building.
That night Shen Jiaheng boarded a plane to the Philippines. Before the plane took off, he only left one sentence: "I'll bring him back."
Su Cen wanted to ask him how to bring it back?
She saw a report in the newspaper about the location of the incident. Not to mention the hostages, even the soldiers who entered the building were all blown to pieces.
Su Cen covered his face and sobbed quietly. How were they going to bring him back?
Although the little guy didn't know what happened, he saw his mother, grandma, and grandma crying all day long. Everyone in the house looked solemn and didn't dare to play around.
The adults ignored him, so the little guy huddled at the foot of the wall, looking at the gloomy-looking adults, and remained obediently silent.
But it happens every day. The little guy feels very uncomfortable staying in this house, so he wants to secretly call his bad dad and ask him to come over quickly. By the way, he can comfort his crying mother like last time.
But he called for several days without getting through, which made him wonder if he had remembered the wrong phone number.
The little guy wanted to ask his mother, but he didn't dare. He had to squat in the corner and talk to his teddy bear: "Dad will definitely come to see us in a few days, he will."
On the day Shen Jiaheng came back from the Philippines, Xiao Li also found Su Cen and said to her: "Sister-in-law, the president wants me to tell you something."
Ever since he came back, Xiao Li had been holding back those words, just wanting to wait for Shen Mohan to come back and let him say those words himself.
But now it seems that it is impossible.
"He asked me to tell you to find a good man to marry. Nangong Yu and Lin Zicong are both very good." Xiao Li choked up as he spoke and felt big tears falling down. He felt useless again.
He quickly raised his hand to wipe it in embarrassment.
"Okay." Su Cen's eyes were empty and he heard his dry voice.
Xiao Li didn't pay attention to Su Cen's expression. He took a deep breath and continued: "He also said that the child cannot call other people daddy."
Su Cen suddenly became excited and cried: "Why? Why does he say that! Does he still care?"
"Sister-in-law, the CEO also said." Xiao Li felt panicked when he saw Su Cen like this, but he still held back his tears and repeated Shen Mohan's words at that time, "He said, he has been pestering you for so many years and has delayed you."
After all these years, he has regretted it. He asked you to forget about him, take the child with him, and live a good life for the rest of his life."
Does he also know that she has been delayed for so many years?
It turns out it has been so many years.
"Okay! Okay!" Su Cen pursed his lips and nodded repeatedly. Tears flew everywhere as he nodded. He wiped the tears on his face carelessly and gritted his teeth and said, "I will forget him. I will definitely forget him."
It has to be clean, we are divorced anyway!"
Shen Jiaheng went to the Philippines and brought back all Shen Mohan's belongings. The clothes he wore, the notebooks he used, and even the waste paper he wrote on were neatly folded and brought with him.
return.
Su Cen didn't go to see those things. She didn't dare to go see those things. She took Yangyang with her and fled back from City Z by plane that day.
The little guy already had a bad premonition from the words that adults occasionally missed. Once again, when Yangyang couldn't get through when he called his father, he cried and asked his mother: "Mom, why didn't dad answer Yangyang's call?"
Su Cen didn't know how to answer. She thought for a long time and could only say dryly with a hoarse voice: "Dad went on a business trip to a far away place and the phone couldn't be reached."
This time the little guy couldn't help but became angry: "Liar! Mommy lied!"
Su Cen thought, that man was right, he really delayed her miserably, and not only that, he also left her with such a annoying little thing.
Thinking of the words he had someone bring to her again, Su Cen felt bitter in her heart. If Shen Mohan has the ability, tell me in person, you bad guy!
The next day, I went to a dating agency in the city and asked them to introduce me to a partner.
The matchmaker was a little stunned when she looked at the beautiful Su Cen. Does such a woman need a man? But Gui was confused, so she followed the normal procedure and asked Su Cen what she wanted from the man.
Su Cen didn't even raise his eyelids and said: "There are no requirements, men, just live as long as you can!"
When the matchmaker saw her like this, she knew something was wrong. She guessed that she was angry with her family or her boyfriend, so she advised her: "Miss, why don't you go back and take a rest first?"
Su Cen remained silent for a long time, his eyes were red, and he scolded Shen Mohan several times in his heart.
It wasn't until the matchmaker became a little impatient that she said, "I'll provide you with the RV and the kids. You'll introduce me to the man right away."
The matchmaker opened her mouth wide and asked: "I...I will arrange it for you as soon as possible. Do you think it can be done tomorrow?"
Su Cen nodded, paid the money, and left.
Su Cen received a call from the matchmaker early the next morning, saying that a man had been arranged and they could meet at noon.
After hanging up the phone, Su Cen went to the wardrobe to pick out clothes for the morning. After finally getting dressed up, he was five minutes late when he arrived at the appointed place.
The other party was very satisfied with her, but Su Cen was so unsatisfied after the meal that she ate it. She secretly thought in her heart, is this what a blind date is like? It shouldn't be like this.
After finishing the meal, the other party asked her: "Where will Miss Su go later? I'll see you off."
Su Cen was about to say no, so she drove over, but as soon as she said the word "no", someone suddenly grabbed her waist, and a lazy male voice came from behind: "Who are you? Are you trying to trick my wife?"
"
Su Cen felt that he must have lost all the face in his life that day in the restaurant.
The man who was on a blind date with her just now saw Shen Mohan and stammered: "Who are you?"
"I am her husband." Shen Mohan's attitude was arrogant, and his tone was extremely arrogant, "Are you tired of living? How dare you take ideas from my wife!"
The man felt that he had met a pair of lunatics today. Since he has a husband, why would he go out on a blind date with him? Also, this man couldn't control his wife, so he still wanted to blame him as a passerby.
Shen Mohan noticed that the other party was looking at him with a crazy look. He was so angry that he vomited blood. Just when he was about to provoke again, he felt a pain in his shoulder.
Well, it was Su Cen who hit him hard with her purse. She hit him hard several times. She still seemed to feel upset, so she raised her small fist and hit him hard, then kicked him firmly.
Kicked him several times.
Shen Mohan looked at the little woman who was out of control in a funny way, fearing that she would do something crazy again, so he quickly reached out and brought her into his arms, hugging him tightly to prevent her from moving any more.
Su Cen finally couldn't help whimpering, and she beat his chest like crazy, "Asshole! Aren't you dead? Why are you coming back?!"
Hearing her words, Shen Mohan's eyes couldn't help but turn red. When he was in the Philippines, he really thought that he would never have the chance to see her and her child again in this life.
Su Cen was still angry, crying and beating him hard: "You said you asked me to forget you, but now I've forgotten you! Bastard! I've already forgotten you! I've forgotten you, wuwuwu."
Shen Mohan thought of what he had left for her before, and now he was naturally very upset, but at that time he really thought that he had no chance to come back, so he said such words.
He held Su Cen in his arms and said slowly in a hoarse voice: "Honey, I'm sorry, I didn't expect that I could come back alive."
I don't know where this sentence touched Su Cen's tears again. She lay in Shen Mohan's arms and started crying again. While crying, she said: "Shen Mohan, you bastard! You bastard! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
, you scared me to death, you know? You bastard, wuwuwu...".
The surprise of finding something, coupled with the worry and despair of the past few days, made Su Cen's tears pour out like a flood.
Recalling his anxious mood a few days ago, and recalling how heartbroken he was after hearing the news of his death, Su Cen became angrier and angrier. Suddenly he pushed him away, wiped the tears on his face, and headed to the restaurant.
