As soon as the man finished saying this greeting, Yu Ruanruan made a beep and hung up the phone before the man could.
On the other end of the phone.
On an abandoned asphalt road covered with snow, the Maybach did not turn off the engine, and the dazzling light of the headlights lengthened the man's shadow.
In the wind and snow, he remained motionless, holding a cigar between his fingertips, the scarlet cigarette butt flickering.
"Mr. Huo, I'm hiding. Our people have been searching for seven days and still can't find him. How about we forget it? My wife has already made sacrifices and it's snowing so hard. You'll catch a cold if you stand all the time."
Zhang Mian held an umbrella to cover Huo Xu's head, shivering from the cold.
Every New Year's Eve, he is the worst assistant in the world. Not only can't he go home for the reunion dinner, but he also has to stand on the road with his boss to blow the cold wind.
Zhang Mian remembered that five years ago, when Mr. Huo was parachuted into the Huo Group and appointed CEO, he was assigned to be Mr. Huo's assistant. That New Year's Eve was the strongest shadow in career history.
Mr. Huo, who took office as a new official that year, was not as calm as he is now, but using a popular word to describe him at that time was very appropriate.
Crazy criticism.
That night, he personally drove to the nightclub and tied the naked old man on the bed of No. 1 Wen Xiang Jade into the car.
"You little bastard! You beast! How dare you do this to me? Do you believe that I have ruined your reputation?"
When Huo Yan was kicked out of the car, he was still cursing, but soon he could no longer curse.
Because Huo Xu grabbed his neck and dragged him to the middle of the road.
"You traitor! You traitor! Are you crazy?"
"Dad, do you think this place looks familiar?" Huo Xu's voice was low, hoarse and cold, "Our family of three is finally reunited."
This sound sent a chill down Huo Yan's spine, his legs began to tremble, he turned his eyes with difficulty, and his expression began to twitch and twist.
He felt that the son in front of him was a pervert.
On New Year's Eve, in the middle of the night, during a snowstorm, he actually forcibly tied his father to such an abandoned road.
The snow is falling very thickly.
The rusty road sign on the side of the road is crooked, and the words Wenzhao Road are clearly legible.
More than ten years ago, this place was a provincial road and the surrounding area was quite prosperous.
Later, the government said that it would be renovated and demolished, so all nearby residents moved away. As a result, it was abandoned for more than ten years.
But even though it was so abandoned that moss grew on it, Huo Yan still remembered that Huo Xu's mother died in a car accident on this road.
"What...what do you want to do?"
This son has been living abroad for many years, and was recently brought back by the old man. He has only been in office for less than half a year. Could it be that he wants to kill his father with his own hands?
"Dad, give Mom a bite."
Huo Xu's extremely handsome face was tinged with bruises. He kicked Huo Yan's knee with his toes.
Huo Yan fell to his knees on the snow.
At that time, Zhang Mian quickly summoned and ordered the incense burners to be set up, the fruit plates to be placed, and the memorial tablets to be erected.
Huo Yan refused to kneel down and even beat him to death, so Huo Xu grabbed his neck and buried his head in the snow, "Since you can't guarantee that you will be loyal to her, why did you pursue her and marry her in the first place?
Dad, you really did something wrong in this matter, you should kneel down and apologize to Mom."
"Bah! The worst thing I did was that I shouldn't have kept a bastard like you! When you were in your mother's belly, she should have aborted you."
"What you said makes sense." Huo Xu's eyes turned red and he smiled slightly, "So why did you keep me in the first place? Why did you let me live? Without me, my mother would not be affected by the Huo family.
Under duress, you can all be free and easy on your own."
"Dad, since you made a mistake, you must accept punishment..."
A gust of north wind blew by, and Zhang Mian shivered violently and woke up from his memories.
After that, every New Year's Eve, Mr. Huo would catch me coming to this road to worship his wife.
Maybe he was really frightened by Mr. Huo. Every year after that, he would find a way to hide before the New Year. In the past, he didn't hide deep enough and he would be caught every time.
This year, he didn't know where he was hiding. He sent people to search for the master's whereabouts half a month in advance, but found nothing.
"Master, why don't we leave? Master won't come."
Zhang Mian was a little worried.
Mr. Huo was injured some time ago. Although he has always been physically strong, no matter how strong a person is, he will collapse if he stands in the ice and snow for a night.
He took a deep breath and couldn't help but start thinking.
He has already missed the New Year's Eve dinner. He really doesn't want to go home to spend time with his baby during the New Year this year.
Zhang Mian took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his thickened military coat, rummaged through the address book with trembling red fingers, and finally found Yu Ruanruan's contact information.
