She was silent for a moment, and then said: "Feng Xiao, please don't get excited, okay? You should know that I am caring about you and it is for your own good. Come on, I will wait for you, and we will talk after we meet.
Okay?"
After thinking about it, I agreed to her.
There were still the same dishes, but this time we were sitting in a small private room. Of course, it was the place Tong Yao had chosen first.
Although I am the real boss here, in Tong Yao's eyes, she has always regarded herself as the owner of this place. She is the one who invites me here every time, and she is the one who orders the dishes and confirms where we sit.
The place.
But I don't think there's anything wrong with this, and I'm used to her being like this.
"Thank you for visiting my father." I sincerely thanked her after sitting down. I felt very strange myself, because I found that the angry feeling in my heart suddenly disappeared as soon as I saw her.
But she was looking at me, "Are you not angry anymore?"
I smiled lightly and suddenly thought of a question, "How did you know there was something wrong with that cigarette? Where did you find that cigarette?"
She answered me: "When I went to your house, your father was drinking tea on the terrace. I talked to him for a while there. But I smelled a special fragrance in the air, and then I saw the small table.
That pack of cigarettes. I used to be a policeman, so you can’t hide such things from me."
I nodded, "Tong Yao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken to you like that today. But you should know that the only purpose of what I did was not to let my father suffer so much pain. You may not know how painful it is for liver cancer patients."
It's terrible. It's the severe pain caused by the cancer infiltrating into the liver capsule. It's a kind of severe pain that makes people feel worse than death. Did you know? Many patients commit suicide because of this. So Tong Yao, I hope you don't care about this.
OK? I am not committing a crime, I am helping my father, my father! He is a patient now, a patient who is about to leave this world! Can I, a son, do such a thing for him?
Shouldn’t I? Am I just going to let my father endure such severe pain just to obey the law?!”
When I said this, I suddenly became short of breath, and I was so excited that I couldn't control it.
She was looking at me with soft eyes, "Feng Xiao, why are you so excited? Did I say anything to you? I was worried about you, okay? I'm worried about you trying to find someone for your father.
That thing would get mixed up with drug traffickers. That would be very dangerous, you know? I used to be a policeman, and it’s not like I have never encountered such a thing. As humans, we all have weaknesses, and we
Such a weakness can easily be caught by criminals. Why don't you understand my kindness to you?"
I was very touched, and I apologized to her even more in my heart, "I'm sorry, Tong Yao. But please don't worry, I won't get involved with those drug dealers. But I also ask for your forgiveness, I
It's impossible to tell you where you got those things."
She sighed softly: "You, it's already a crime for you to do this, don't you know? Forget it, I'm not a policeman anymore anyway, and I don't want to compare myself with you. But Feng Xiao, I still have to
I remind you that when doing things in the future, you must always think carefully in your mind and be aware of the law at all times. Your situation this time is indeed very special, but you are a doctor, so if you really have the awareness of the law, you should
Convince your father to go to the hospital. There is Demerol in the hospital, so that is the legal way. But I never thought you would choose to do that. Alas!"
I immediately fell silent because I knew what she said was right.
She continued: "Feng Xiao, don't blame me for talking too much. In fact, you should know that you lack legal awareness when dealing with many things. You always feel that you should or can only do that, and that other people are
Why can't I do that? It's very dangerous for you to do this. As your friend, I was even once yours... I feel that I must remind you, remind you very carefully, never do this again in the future.
Alright. Okay?"
Her words were very reasonable and her tone was very sincere. How could I not accept it? I nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
In fact, I understood one sentence in what she just said - "As your friend, I was even once your...", and I also knew very well why she said this.
Because she hopes that I can believe in her sincerity and kindness. Of course I believe it, because I completely feel that there is still more or less me in her heart.
This is enough for me - I once had her body, and now I know that she also has me in her heart. It's just that Fang Qiang occupies most of her heart.
She convinced me and alerted me in this way, and I was very grateful to her, because at this moment I suddenly woke up - many things I had done were indeed what she said,
It is true that I have violated the law. For example, I helped Yu Min, Liu Meng and Tang Zi, including my trip to Beijing to pay bribes, and the incident where Secretary Leng almost died last time. I was there afterwards.
Scared. Just imagine, if he really died at that time, wouldn’t I also be implicated?
In fact, there is one thing that Tong Yao did not mention, that is, I have always been taking chances.
We ate this meal for a long time, because we also talked about other things afterwards. Tong Yao told me that she had recently taken her mother for a physical examination, but the results were normal. And she also comforted my father for the matter.
Been to me for a long time.
Later, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, we ended our lunch immediately, because I suddenly received a call from my mother, "Xiao'er, your father is missing!"
At that moment, my heart suddenly sank, and I immediately felt an extremely uneasy feeling coming towards me. I hurriedly asked: "Isn't he always at home? How could he be missing?"
The mother was crying, "Before lunch, he said he wanted to go to the supermarket's office to get something back. I said I would go get it for him but he didn't agree, so I had to agree. Later, I waited for a long time and he didn't come back.
, I hurriedly called his cell phone, but found that his cell phone was at home. Then I ran to his office in the supermarket to check, and the people there said they had never seen him go there. Then I asked again.
The guard at the gate of the community said he saw him take a taxi and leave. Xiaoer, come back quickly, what should I do?"
Now I felt even more scared, "I'll be back soon, don't worry."
Then I stood up and ran outside. At the same time, I heard Tong Yao asking me behind me: "What's going on?"
I stopped suddenly, turned around and said to her angrily: "Tong Yao, if something happens to my father today, I will never forgive you!"
I drove the car very fast, and even though it was my work car, I didn't care. Halfway through the road, I seemed to hear a text message on my cell phone, but when I was waiting at the red light, I took it out and took a look, and saw that it was
Tong Yao sent it. Although she was very angry, she still opened it and took a look - go to your father's room and check to see if there is anything abnormal. If so, destroy the cigarettes immediately.
The anger in my heart rose again: If so, I will never forgive you!
After returning home, I found my mother crying in the living room, and the nanny was also there holding the child. I knew that my father had not come back yet without asking.
When my mother saw me entering the room, she burst into tears immediately. I was very panicked but I had to comfort my mother, "Mom, don't worry, maybe dad went to another place to get his things."
The mother cried and said: "Where else can he go but here?"
I hurriedly said: "Dad has been working in the supermarket for so long, he must have met some people? Don't worry."
In fact, I also know that my reason is not valid at all. If that is the case, why doesn't my father bring a mobile phone? But my mother is somewhat similar. That is because she instinctively hopes that nothing will happen to her father.
After seeing that my mother's mood had calmed down a little, I immediately went to their room. I glanced at the situation inside and found that there seemed to be nothing special, so I immediately opened a few drawers on the desk, which contained some magazines and books.
There didn't seem to be anything unusual about the books I bought for my father before.
Then I went to open the cabinet on the desk next to me, and I suddenly felt nervous - this is where my father usually smokes, but I found that it was empty. You know, I just gave it to my father from Huang Shang a few days ago.
I came back with five cigarettes.
At this moment, the bad feeling in my heart became even stronger.
I don’t know when my mother came in, but I suddenly heard her asking me: “What are you looking for?”
I asked hurriedly: "Where are dad's cigarettes? What did he bring with him when he went out today?"
The mother replied: "He was just carrying a big bag. Didn't he say he was going to get something? I saw him holding that big bag so I didn't become suspicious."
Obviously, my father took those cigarettes away, I thought to myself. At this moment, the ominous premonition in my heart became even stronger, because I suddenly thought of the text message Tong Yao sent me.
If the father really made that decision, it would be inevitable for him to take the initiative to destroy those cigarettes. Because he is a father, he would definitely do that.
I started looking around the room, on the bed, under the pillow, inside the bedside table... Nothing, nothing.
No, no, I shouldn't be looking here! Suddenly, I discovered a misunderstanding in my thinking - if my father wanted to leave something for me, it could only be in my room or study!
I ran towards my room like crazy, but there was still nothing inside.
study......
When I walked to the door of the study, I immediately felt that my legs were as heavy as lead. If my father really left something, then this is the only place.
At this moment, I suddenly felt scared, and it also suddenly became complicated - I hoped that there would be a few words left by my father in it, but I didn't hope at all!
After hesitating for a moment, I pushed open the study door with difficulty...
The first thing I looked at was the desk, and at that moment, my heart suddenly tightened because I found a book on the desk.
I have a very good habit of putting books back on the bookshelf every time I finish reading them. I also have this requirement for my nanny at home and she has always done a good job.
But at this moment, I clearly saw a book placed on the desk, and it was a thread-bound book. I saw its title - "Zhuangzi"
I hurried to the desk, picked up the book with trembling hands, and then opened it...a note slipped from the book.
I quickly threw the book aside and the note was already in my hand.
There was only one sentence on the note: Son, I had to lie to you. Dad was in so much pain that he couldn't bear it anymore.
At this moment, my heart suddenly began to twist, cramp, and tears burst out... (To be continued)
