Opening the curtains slightly and placing her fingers in a ray of sunlight, Zhong Luoyue immediately felt like she was being burned by flames, and she immediately took it back.
She should be the most energetic during the day, but there is no doubt that she is unusually sleepy now. Zhong Luoyue yawned, her head felt a little dizzy, and then she glanced at the closet.
Elizabeth was in this closet and fell asleep early. They had quietly left the hospital before dawn, evading the blockade by government and military personnel, and then randomly found a decent hotel to stay.
"Luoyue? Luoyue?"
At this time, Zhong Luoyue was making an international long-distance call. The other end of the call was the capital of China. Because of the time difference, her grandfather, Mrs. Zhong, had fallen asleep early. The person who answered the phone was Grandpa Luo, a
Pao Ze, who has followed Mrs. Zhong for half a century and has lived and died together.
"I'm listening, Grandpa Luo." Zhong Luoyue rubbed the center of her brows, and then responded, "It's just that I'm still a little dazed and confused now."
There were many reasons for calling home. In fact, before she arrived in this city to attend the banquet at Tu Shenyi Winery, her bodyguards were intercepted by the Song family. When the bodyguards were sent to the hospital, her family members who were far away in the capital of China were
The news has been received, and the subsequent collapse of the manor castle, and the zombie crisis in the hospital, etc., cannot be concealed.
"It's normal for you to be upset." Grandpa Luo's voice was kind. "Anyone who encounters these things will feel bad. Luoyue, don't worry, I will arrange for someone to pick you up right away... This time
The Song family has gone too far, and it’s time to give it a try.”
"Grandpa Luo, this matter has nothing to do with the Song family." Zhong Luoyue cheered up at this time: "Song Ying was just joking with me. Now the Song family is already worried enough... Let's sit down now
Just watch.”
But Grandpa Na Luo said in a deep voice: "Business wars and battles between aristocratic families, whether they are conspiracies or scheming, have some recognized rules. Direct action against the descendants of aristocratic families is breaking the rules. The Zhong family and the Song family do not have shopping malls.
At most, the fights in the gambling industry are just in the gambling industry. Originally, the river does not interfere with the well... Don't worry, the Zhong family is not in trouble. Now that you have experienced it, when you come back, there are some things that the old man should also know.
I’ll tell you.”
Is it true? There is something unknown hidden in the Zhong family. Perhaps it is some kind of powerful force, but Zhong Luoyue is not optimistic about it because there is still that mysterious person in the Song family.
She was so sleepy that Zhong Luoyue couldn't hear what Grandpa Luo said on the phone. She just responded a few words. Finally, when the call ended, Zhong Luoyue lay down on the table and fell asleep.
.
She also dreamed about being lost in the mountains and forests when she was a child and training in the army. She hid in a hole in a tree, huddled up, and was extremely scared.
From time to time, the sounds of wild beasts can be heard in the mountains and forests.
Regarding this memory, Zhong Luoyue is always a little vague, perhaps because she hopes too much to forget this terrible experience.
"Are you lost too?"
She suddenly heard a childish voice, and a small head suddenly poked out from in front of the tree hole, and there was light...fire.
"I'm also lost. The leaves are blocking the sky. I can't find the North Star, so can you let me hide here? My dad said it would be safer to hide at night."
It was a little boy, not very old, maybe a few years younger than her, holding a torch in his hand.
I can’t remember clearly... I can’t remember clearly.
…
…
It has been 48 hours, or two days.
According to crisis public relations, 48 hours after an incident occurs is the best and most important time to deal with it.
Recently, a patient who took dangerous poison/'zombie bath salts' suddenly went crazy in the hospital. This kind of 'bath salts' may be different from what is commonly circulated. It is horribly contagious and can make people go crazy and lose consciousness.
Being rational and becoming bloodthirsty will cause serious violent tendencies in people, which is very dangerous.
Ouyang Jie lay on the hospital bed and looked at the local news reports. He always felt that this explanation was a bit unreasonable... Vaguely, Ouyang Jie felt that things were not that simple.
But the government has controlled public opinion, and the opinions of the people are not unanimous. Everyone in the hospital has signed a confidentiality agreement, and of course they have received some material compensation. But even so, there are still so-called gossips spreading.
These are also headaches for crisis public relations professionals, but the responsibility has been passed on to the so-called "zombie bath salts".
The government's drug treatment department has called on society to consciously resist the spread of this illegal drug and not to cause loss of life and property just to gain temporary pleasure.
There have been many incidents of people going crazy after eating 'zombie bath salts' and then attacking people. The photos of people who took the poison that were circulated are somewhat similar to the zombies that appeared in this incident. People are more willing to believe that this is 'poison'.
/', rather than the kind of panic that only appears in certain movies...
Ouyang Jie turned off the TV.
After that night, he was placed in a separate ward and underwent various examinations. He is now waiting for the results of various examinations, otherwise he will not be allowed to leave the hospital... As for the so-called human rights, he
He is not a citizen of this country in the first place.
At that time, when he was studying with Tu Shenyi, Uncle Jin got him the identity of a US citizen. The issue of his own detention is now being negotiated by the US Embassy with the local government.
Zhong Luoyue later contacted him and said that it was not convenient for her to intervene in this matter for the time being. Ouyang Jie said that he could understand. However, he was somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that Zhong Luoyue had left the hospital early.
But considering the chaos and danger of the hospital at that time, it is understandable that she would choose to evacuate first... After all, children of aristocratic families are still children of aristocratic families, and giving priority to preserving themselves is a concept that has been instilled in them since childhood.
It's just that he is no longer in the mood to think about Zhong Luoyue's actions at this time, because for him, what is more urgent to worry about is the affairs of the castle.
As time goes by, those buried underground will become more and more dangerous... But excavation is very difficult, and many people have given up hope. And he himself has already prepared for the worst.
During this trip home, Ouyang Jie originally had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but now, Ouyang Jie felt like he had nothing. If life were a gamble, then he would be the loser at this time.
He hadn't taken care of himself for several days, and his mind was still full of questions and uneasiness. The fibrous roots on his face had long grown out, and his whole person looked decadent.
But then he received a call from an insurance company.
"Is this Mr. Ouyang Jie? There is a Mr. Jin Wucheng who purchased an insurance policy from our company. The designated beneficiary is you. We already know about the death of Mr. Jin Wucheng, although we can't tell you yet.
It is difficult to determine whether he is still alive, but we still plan to contact you as soon as possible and it is best to be prepared. Of course, it would be best if Mr. Jin is still alive."
"Insurance...what insurance?" Ouyang Jie was startled.
"It's like this. Mr. Jin Wucheng has a safe in the bank. According to the agreement, if he dies unfortunately, only you can open it."
"Uncle Jin...left it for me?"
Ouyang Jie looked out the window subconsciously, and suddenly felt that the sunlight was a bit dazzling.
…
…
Being trapped in a hospital is a depressing thing, and many things remain the same, making people unhappy...probably.
"Why doesn't this guy look unhappy at all?"
Regarding Miss Song Ying's question, Su Mei found that she didn't know how to answer it. Su Mei felt that she was also a lucky person.
I survived the collapse of the castle without any zombies, and I also escaped the disaster in the hospital. However, the bodyguard who was assigned to look after me at that time was not so lucky. In short, people often say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. It should be
Yes?
An opportunity to always be by Song Ying's side is what many people are fighting for.
Because she was required to be hospitalized, Song Ying, who was so bored that she almost exploded, had no choice but to find Su Mei for company... She glanced at Mr. Luo Qiu in the pavilion downstairs of the inpatient department.
They all call him Master Qiu. He seems to be a young master with the same status as Miss Song Ying in the Song family.
"Maybe Master Qiu is a more cheerful person?" Su Mei said cautiously.
"You even call this guy young master?" Song Ying glanced at Su Mei with some dissatisfaction, which immediately made Su Mei's face look a little ugly.
"Forget it, I don't blame you." Song Ying shook her head and continued to look at the tablet in her hand, which was filled with documents sent by the group. Song Ying, who couldn't go to work, could only handle some things here, and because she was too busy
The reason is that I started to check the accounts of the Song Dynasty for the entire last year.
Even the electricity bill has not been missed.
Why do I still work here while that guy happily tells stories to children in the pavilion??
Yes, there were not only Luo Qiu and Gan Hong accompanying him in the pavilion, but also several children from the inpatient department.
She's quite good at coaxing children... Song Ying muttered casually, and then suddenly frowned, "Su Mei, what happened to Chinatown's expenses in June last year?"
Secretary Su Mei was stunned, and then quickly went to the tablet to look at it. However, after looking at it for a while, she didn't see anything strange. "This... doesn't seem to be a problem, Miss Ying."
"The number is wrong, 700,000 yuan is missing." Song Ying frowned, "The total number is correct, but all the expenses on the bill are 700,000 yuan short."
Such a large bill... was calculated mentally? Su Mei glanced at Song Ying in surprise.
Song Ying frowned, took the tablet over, slid her fingers quickly, and marked six places on the screen.
"This... this property is a bit careless." Su Mei shook her head.
Song Ying suddenly said: "It's not that they are careless...someone is making false accounts."
"Fake accounts?!" Su Mei was surprised.
Song Ying suddenly stood up, "Let's go back to the room and ask the group to send me all the accounts for the past three years, especially those about Chinatown."
"knew."
The two left in a hurry.
At the pavilion, Luo Qiu looked up thoughtfully, and stopped as he watched Song Ying and Su Mei leaving.
"Master, is there something wrong?" Gan Hong asked quickly.
"Nothing." Luo Qiu smiled, "What did I just say?"
A child in the pavilion quickly said: "Brother, you just said that Icarus didn't listen to his father's advice and stopped when he was about to fly to the sun. What happened next?"
Luo Qiu whispered: "Icarus was too proud. He thought he could fly higher. As a result, the wax on his wings melted due to the heat of the sun, and the feathers fell off his body one by one. When
After all the feathers on his body disappeared, Icarus could no longer fly in the sky, and he eventually fell into the sea. The waves submerged him, leaving only the feathers floating on the sea."
"Ah... what happened to Icarus? Did he die?" the children asked in horror.
Luo Qiu said slowly: "Do you want him to die?"
All the children shook their heads.
Luo Qiu said: "Then you continue this story. What do you think will happen next?"
"His father Daedalus saved him! If I was in danger, my father would definitely save me!" said the little girl.
"Well... he could swim, so he could swim to the shore, and then found his father Daedalus, and then they lived a happy life!" the little boy raised his hand and said.
"The whale at sea saved him and brought him to the shore!" the little boy.
"He met the mermaid princess and became good friends!" the little girl.
Luo Qiu listened quietly. The story had become a little strange, but it was also becoming more and more interesting.
Later, the nurse came and led the children away. When it came time to take medicine and injections, only Luo Qiu and Gan Hong were left in the pavilion.
Gan Hong suddenly asked: "Master, did Icarus actually die in the end?"
Luo Qiu nodded and said: "The sea buried him and then washed his body to the shore. His father Daedalus found the body of Icarus. Later, Daedalus took his tribe to fly to the new
place and lived a good life. But Daedalus never became happy in his life."
"But...why don't you tell these children?" Gan Hong asked puzzledly: "Doesn't this fairy tale imply that pride and arrogance will inevitably lead to death?"
"Actually, there is another implication of fatalism." Luo Qiu suddenly said: "Daedalus framed Talos and was betrayed, but escaped punishment, but Icarus died instead."
"this……"
"Don't you think this is too heavy for those children just now?"
"They will realize this one day when they grow up?"
"Then why don't you wait until they grow up?" Luo Qiu smiled and said, "You know it now, but there aren't so many interesting and beautiful continuations...right?"
