Chapter 16 The Lantern Festival's Apology
After staying in the provincial hospital, I told my cousin to take care of my second uncle and not to make any mistakes. In addition, I asked him to keep the secrets strictly and not tell anyone at home. My cousin has been playing with me since childhood. He patted his chest and promised to complete the task. My second uncle handed it to him to reassure me.
I ignored the obstruction of the doctor and my cousin, and the gauze on my head was unmoved before I could even dismantle it. They had no choice but to let me go!
Before leaving, my cousin asked me where I was going? I told him that I was going to find the perpetrator, and the second uncle could not suffer this crime in vain!
When I walked out of the hospital gate, the cold wind blew, calmed me down. I turned around and returned to the ward, found my second uncle's cell phone, wrote down a few phone numbers, then walked out, took a taxi, and headed straight to the airport.
In the taxi, I made two calls, one was to Nie Zhenyun of the Nie family. The northwest was still dominated by the Nie family. Although the Tang family also had some knowledge, such as the Kong family was a partner of the Tang family's northwest, their power was still not comparable to the Nie family. Although I couldn't let the Nie family stand up and help me openly fight against the Tang family, there was no problem with the second uncle's face and let them provide me with some help. So, as soon as Nie Zhenyun received my call, he agreed.
I called Shi Tao the second time, but what worries me was that no one answered. Actually, I knew in my heart that we had lost the opportunity due to a car accident. Now the Tang family may have succeeded. I only care about two things now, one is that Kong Xue can return safely, and the other is that Uncle Second is to wake up as soon as possible.
Get off the plane from Yinchuan, and the car sent by Nie Zhenyun was already waiting at the airport gate. I got in the car and went straight to Kong's villa. On the way, I called Shi Tao again, but this time it became impossible to connect. Could something happened to them?
At this time, I was anxious and asked the driver to speed up. When I was about to arrive at the gate of the Kong family, I saw two cars driving out from inside.
The vehicles on both sides intersected, and I suddenly realized that Zhou Cheng was sitting in one of the cars. A trace of uneasiness suddenly flashed through my heart.
The car had just stopped in front of the villa, and I ran in in three or two steps. In the lobby on the first floor, Shi Tao stood in front of the window smoking a cigarette. There was still someone sitting on the sofa. When I looked closely, it turned out to be Kong Xue!
Kong Xue's safe return made me feel relieved, but this also means that the statue of the Kong family's horse-stepped snake has fallen into the hands of the Tang family.
Shi Tao looked up and saw me, and also saw the bandage on my head, with a stunned expression, "Zhuoran, your head? Are you okay?"
I waved my hand and didn't say anything. Kong Xue, who was already holding a cup on the sofa, raised her head when she heard my name, and the cup in her hand almost rolled to the ground. When she confirmed it was me, her eyes were filled with surprise, "Zhuoran! Why are you here?" When she saw the injury on my head, Kong Xue widened her eyes, "What's going on with the injury on your head? Are you okay?"
I smiled and shook my head, "Don't worry about me. How are you? Is it okay? They didn't bully you!"
"No!" Kong Xue said: "It's just that I didn't expect that they would do such a thing!"
I sneered, "The Tang family can do anything shameless to achieve their goals!"
Shi Tao walked over, "It seems that the wound on your head may not be irrelevant to the Tang family!"
I nodded, and when I remembered my second uncle who was still in the hospital, my heart was filled with anger! I calmed down and spoke to Kong Xue and Shi Tao, "When I came here just now, I seemed to see Zhou Cheng?"
Kong Xue gritted her teeth and said, "That's right, it's him! It's all my fault that I'm useless. The horse-stepped snake left by my father fell into the hands of others!"
Shi Tao quickly said, "Xiaoxue, you can't blame you! I can only say that the Tang family is too despicable!"
"Yes!" I also said, "Speaking of this, I also have a great responsibility for this matter. When I was in Rongchang Pavilion that day, I should have thought of the Tang family's intentions."
Kong Xue sighed long, "I understand what you said, but when I saw that the Tang family members achieved their goal, they should have been prepared. I am really unwilling to accept it!"
Yes! I nodded silently in my heart. I have something, right? Now I am not just fighting for interests with them. We only see that we have blood debts. Fortunately, my second uncle is not in danger of life, otherwise I will definitely let them pay for their lives!
At this moment, Shi Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually..."
Before Shi Tao finished speaking, the access control system on the table rang out, and the voice of the guy at the door came out, "Miss, Brother Tao, the man named Tang Yuanding who came just now is back!"
When I heard this, my heart suddenly moved. The guy said that Lantern Festival is coming back? But why is this for?
Kong Xue and I looked at each other and saw a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.
Shi Tao walked to the access control system and said, "Let him come in!"
Soon a guy led a man in. This person was nothing but Lantern Festival.
When Kong Xue saw Lantern Festival coming in, she sneered, "Master Tang! Look at what else you need in our Kong family. No need to kidnap them, just take them casually!"
Hearing Kong Xue's words, Yuanxiao's face changed, "Kong Xue, don't say that."
Kong Xue snorted, "I was so blind at the beginning, and I would actually believe you!"
Yuanxiao's face became very awkward, and he looked at me. I looked at him, but I didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly.
When Lanxiao saw me, her face changed, "Zhuoran, what's wrong with your head?"
I waved impatiently, "Don't you do this, why am I like this? Don't you know?"
"Actually," Lanxiao lowered her head, "Actually, I came here this time to apologize! This is really not what I want to see!"
I suddenly became angry and stepped in front of Yuanxiao, "Apology?" I pulled off the clothes on my shoulders, pointed to the gunshot wound on my arm and said, "This is thanks to your Tang family. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have fallen to pieces now! Is this what you want to see?" Then, I pointed to the gauze on my finger, "What about this? I didn't shoot me to death, I used a car to hit me instead? I told you, I'm fine now, but my second uncle is still in a coma in the hospital!" I raised my hand and pointed at Yuanxiao and said, "If my second uncle has a short time, don't blame me for being unfaithful, I will not let you father and son go!"
After hearing my words, Yuanxiao was full of surprise, "Zhuoran, I really don't know about you and your second uncle. It's absolutely impossible for me to let them do such a thing! You have to believe me!"
"Believe in you?" I snorted coldly, "I just trust you too much before!"
Yuanxiao sighed, "I know you won't forgive me at this time, but I'm here this time, and I want to tell you that the Tang family has invested a lot of strength in this action. In order to achieve the established goals, they will take all necessary measures."
I can probably think of what the necessary means in the Lantern Festival sentence refers to. It is difficult to kill a few people in the vast desert.
When Shi Tao heard the words of Lanxiao, he frowned slightly, "Are you threatening us?"
Yuanxiao shook her head and said, "No, I just hope you don't go into the desert, so as not to encounter both sides. At that time, it will not be something I can control!"
"Can you control it? What can you control even if you don't go into the desert?" I pointed to the injury on my finger, "Is this the result of your control?"
Yuanxiao bit her lip tightly, "Zhuoran, I'm really sorry! I didn't expect things to turn out like this!"
I turned my head to one side, not willing to listen to Lanxiao's explanation.
Yuanxiao finally looked at the three of us, "Today, I have finished everything I want to say. If I can come back from the desert, I will definitely do my best to compensate you. I'm sorry!" After that, Yuanxiao turned around and left.
After leaving Lantern Festival, the three of us sat in the hall, but no one spoke. Last time we sat here, although we were worried about Uncle Kong's safety, we were at least united and trusted each other.
Now, such a short time has just passed, and we are already fighting each other. Why did things become what they are now? I haven't figured it out yet, but now that things have come to this, so what can we do? Could it be that I turned around and left and pretended that nothing happened?
The three of them were silent for a long time. Suddenly, my phone rang. When I opened it, it turned out to be an email. It was probably another training course. I raised my hand and wanted to close it. But at this moment, I suddenly thought of the situation before I went to Qilian Mountain last time, that strange email, that strange photo, and the creepy red eyes in the photo!
So what about this email? Thinking of this, my heartbeat suddenly accelerated, so I reached out and clicked on the email. The moment the email was clicked, I was shocked. Sure enough, there was something wrong with the email!
The email has no text content, only one picture. I clicked the picture and found that it was a photo, and it was a black and white photo. The photo was an endless desert. But in the middle of this desert, some huge strips and ruins exposed the surface of the desert. It seemed that some huge buildings were buried in the desert.
Although this building is incomplete, I can still feel its grandeur. I can't see what kind of building it is.
In this ruined wall, I saw several people scattered in it, as if they were searching for something.
The image of this photo is really unclear. It can be seen that this is an old photo.
I stared at the photos on my phone, full of questions, who is this? Why did I send me such a photo?
At this moment, I found that the figure of a person in the photo felt very familiar, especially the blurry face. I frowned and carefully identified it. Suddenly I found that this person seemed to be Wen Mo!
