The Cannon Fodder Strikes Back - Chapter 68
After taking Yunjinshu to the hospital and playing with kidney beans for a while, Han Jiang no longer dared to delay, he waved a taxi and walked back.
Because it was in the mid-autumn season, he wore a hat and a scarf, covering most of his face, which did not arouse many people’s suspicion, even the taxi driver did not recognize his identity.
The road section during get off work hours was extremely congested. The taxi stopped and went. After a while, the sky began to rain heavily. The sky over the entire S city was covered with dark clouds, as if being pressed by an invisible big hand on the top of the head. It was a little dull. Breathless.
The big raindrops hit the glass window, making a banging sound. The taxi driver sighed and complained, “What’s the matter with this horrible weather? It is clear that the weather forecast says today is sunny, why it started raining. “
Han Jiang let out a “huh” and looked out through the car window. The foggy area could only see countless water vapor and fallen leaves rolled up by the cold wind. I don’t know why. Such a scene made him feel very familiar, as if he had once He was drenched in such heavy rain, and he was bitingly cold.
Inexplicably, he felt a little bit cold, and he wrapped the scarf around his neck tightly, and his injured head began to buzz again.
The taxi driver didn’t seem to see his condition, and continued to smash the steering wheel and said, “These government departments such as the Meteorological Bureau are **** food, and don’t do anything with our taxpayers’ money. You said that the weather station will check and forecast the weather every day, but you can’t **** tell.”
Han Jiang had a terrible headache. He only felt that his eyes turned black for a while. He really didn’t have the energy to chat with the driver master, so he just went over it in a perfunctory manner.
“I think the rain will last three days and three nights. Don’t believe me, comrades. I’ve been driving a taxi for more than ten years. I’ve been running on the road every day. I can tell at a glance what kind of weather it is. The weather station is much stronger, and ah, you don’t know…”
“Master, can you turn on the radio?” Han Jiang really had a terrible headache, and didn’t want to listen to the enthusiastic taxi driver humming anymore, so he interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
At this time, the driver also realized that he was talking too much, so he curled his lips and turned on the radio.
The sound of raining outside the car and the soothing music on the radio made Han Jiang more comfortable. He leaned on the back of the seat behind the car seat and rubbed his painful forehead. At this time, an FM came from the radio. ‘S voice, and then seemed to be an interview part of an entertainment show.
“…The recent release of “Biggle” has attracted countless fans, and of course there are many controversial voices among them. As a fan, I am actually very curious. Gu Yan, why did you pick up this show in the first place? Will this subject bring you a lot of criticism?”
The hostess’s sweet voice came from the radio, and the taxi driver wanted to change channels impatiently, but Han Jiang suddenly stopped him, “Master, just listen to this.”
The driver gave Han Jiang a surprised look, then retracted his hand in a jealousy, muttering in his mouth, “I really don’t understand that a big man likes to listen to entertainment news.”
Gu Yan smiled softly, and a magnetic voice flowed from the stereo, “To be honest, I didn’t really think about it so much at the beginning. It was just because I was doing Jinshu a favor. By the way, I thought the book was written well, so I took it. Up.”
“Oh -” the hostess stretched her voice and asked with a grin, “then I can understand that if Yun Jinshu doesn’t accept this movie, you won’t accept it?”
Gu Yan let out a laugh, and seemed to be in a good mood, “This… depends on what you think.”
He did not give the host a clear answer. Instead, he said such a fascinating remark that caused the hostess to giggle and laugh, and seemed to be a little excited and unable to control her emotions. “Then let’s move on to the next question, and the audience asked. , Gu Yingdi has been a zero scandal since his debut for so many years, do you have any girls you like? Or can you reveal the type you like? Ha ha, this is probably a question that everyone wants to ask, can Gu Yan tell everyone?”
There was a sudden silence on the radio, Han Jiang sat there with squinted eyes, his expression was very cold, but his fingers tightened unconsciously.
After a while, Gu Yan’s voice rose a little, and said with a smile that people couldn’t ignore, “The type you like…? Probably the one that is thin and tall, short hair, and big eyes. By the way, it has to have dimples. It’s better to bring a child.”
The hostess was surprised for a long time without saying anything, “Oh my God…Emperor Gu, you are so specific, do you already have a love partner? Or have you confessed it?”
Gu Yan smiled and said, “Yeah”, and there seemed to be a bit of meaning in his voice, “That’s right, but I’m still waiting for his answer. To be honest… I’m a little nervous.”
Gu Yan’s words caused the hostess to scream several times with excitement, saying blessings repeatedly, but unfortunately these Han Jiang couldn’t hear him anymore. He asked the driver to change the channel, turned his head and looked at the rainy sky outside the window, fingers unconsciously Clenched tightly.
He would not give the Yunjinshu to anyone, even if Gu Yan blatantly took advantage of the fire and robbed him.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about fulfillment, or I haven’t thought about letting go, but emotional things are not rational at all. When you meet a right person, everything else becomes improvised.
He didn’t want to make do any more, so he could only look for Yun Jinshu and never look back.
Back at the Emerald Villa, the old housekeeper’s look was a little weird. Han Jiang still had a terrible headache. He wanted to go upstairs to take a shower. When he walked through the living room, he saw Han Zhongtian sitting aside.
His face sank instantly, without any intention to say hello, he walked straight upstairs, but Han Zhongtian stopped him.
“Stop! Where do you want to go? Is there still my father in your eyes?”
Han Jiang closed his eyes and tried to prevent himself from getting angry. He turned around and said, “Is there anything you came to find me? I thought I told you very clearly that day, I won’t marry the daughter of the bank president. .”
Han Zhongtian sneered, “You have done so many ugly things on your own, and you finally want me to help you clean up the mess. Do you still dare to negotiate with me? You must marry me that woman. She is your last chance to stand up.”
Han Jiang smiled, with his hands in his pockets, his expression relaxed like never before, “I don’t want to turn over, there is no need at all. There is nothing wrong with being ruined now, at least you don’t need to be your political tool in the future.”
“Presumptuous!” Han Zhong weathered the crutches over.
Han Jiang hid in disdain, and said coldly, “You can say these words too. I don’t need you to control my life. This time I don’t have to participate in the **** election. I don’t know how happy it is, so you Don’t expect me to save your face and marry a woman you’ve never seen before.”
“Now those scandals are all suppressed. As long as you stand up for a wedding at this time, I can guarantee that you will be in office at the end of this month. Are you crazy!? Don’t seize the big opportunity, I I really don’t know what’s the use of raising you like this!”
Han Jiang sneered, “Yeah, you raise me so much because you treat me as your political puppet, but I’m sorry, I don’t continue my hobby of puppets.”
Han Zhongtian’s face was blue, and it took a long time to squint his eyes viciously, “But don’t forget, the conditions we two reached at the beginning, if you go to participate in the general election, I will let Yun Jinshu and his son go, otherwise I Now we can send someone to get rid of him.”
“Heh, father, you are really old. When did I say that I would not participate in the general election? What I promised you was just to participate, but what does it have to do with me? Don’t worry, I will be there on the election day at the end of the month, and you too Don’t slap yourself in the face, it would be too ugly if you turn back at this age.”
“Are you kidding me?” Han Zhongtian pressed the corner of his mouth gloomily.
Han Jiang smiled and shook his head, took out the phone from his pocket to call up an audio, “This is what you said when we reached the conditions, do I need to play it again for you? Remember what you said, if you If you dare to hurt Yunjinshu, I will immediately send all your old friends to the Politburo.”
“Father, this is what you forced me. If you don’t leave me a way out, I won’t show mercy to you. Either you choose to kill me, or don’t play the idea of the Yunjinshu, otherwise, at most everyone will be together. I don’t care if the fish die and the net breaks.”
Han Jiang’s expression is unprecedentedly strong and determined. His voice is not high, and it can even be considered low, but his words are loud and loud. His eyes are scorching and determined as the hardest rock, and he will never shrink from seeing him.
Han Zhongtian was horrified, thinking that he has been in officialdom for decades, no one has ever dared to talk to him like this.
Only today did he really start to look at the son in front of him. Only then did he realize that he was no longer the child who had been respectful and forbearing to himself, as if a thread had been gently touched. Once he surpassed it, Han Jiang It will also be the most cruel beast.
Han Zhongtian didn’t speak for a long time, his face was pale, Han Jiang bowed to him with a cold face, and walked up the stairs without looking back.
He knew that Han Zhongtian couldn’t do anything to him, because he was the only bargaining chip for him to continue to enjoy the wealth of high-ranking officials. If he died, the old man would have no one to succeed in his age, and he would only end in defeat.
Even if you find a woman to give birth to a child at this time and start training from scratch, it will take another eighteen years until you become a real adult. At that time, he will not be able to return to the sky.
He is indeed betting on his own life. If he is not strong enough, what right does he have to protect the one he loves?
Not long after returning to the room, there was a deafening slamming of the door downstairs, which meant that Han Zhongtian had already left.
Han Jiang rubbed his temples tiredly, his head was already sore, which is strange to say, since it started to rain outside, his injured head started to feel painful, as if something sharp was about to come out of the depths of his head. Generally, it makes him a little dazed.
“Han Jiang, when the crew was filming today, a liar broke in by mistake. Seeing anyone is a divination, and holding me back, he said that my face was unlucky.”
“Oh? Heh, what did he say?”
“He said that I was destined to have a rough life in love, and my life was too short, which made me mad enough.”
“Okay, okay, did you also say that he is a liar? Look, I am the life of fire, you are the life of the water, we are born together, how can it be bumpy?”
Who is speaking? Who is talking?
A series of conversations faintly appeared in Han Jiang’s ear, and his head suddenly hurt a few times, as if it would explode alive in the next second.
He covered his temples, held the closet in the bedroom and took a few deep breaths. The darkness in front of him gradually disappeared. He looked at the pale face in the mirror and sweaty forehead in amazement, not understanding why it passed after being injured. There will be hallucinations for so long.
The voice that spoke just now… is it Jinshu? Who is he talking to?
If the “Han Jiang” in his mouth is himself, then why is his head blank? He doesn’t remember such a thing at all.
Han Jiang became more and more chaotic, went to the small refrigerator under the TV cabinet and took out a bottle of mineral water and poured it a few sips before relieving himself. At this time, his mobile phone suddenly shook.
After answering the phone, there was a respectful cry, “Master.”
Han Jiang pursed his lips and asked, “Have you… found it?”
“Yes, master, what you suspect is not wrong. We investigated LILY, the makeup artist of the crew on the day of the accident, and also tracked down the waiter in the FREE bar. Although the SMS records of the communications company and the surveillance video of the bar have not been investigated, but Mr. Yun Jinshu is indeed involved in the incident of Mr. Wen Zeyun being arrested for taking drugs.”
Han Jiang’s fingers tightened the phone, but his voice didn’t fluctuate. “I see, you guys remember to seal your mouth tightly. You are not allowed to disclose a word on the master’s side. Don’t forget who you are. .”
“Yes, master, we understand.”
After the phone hung up, there was a beeping sound. Han Jiang leaned back on the bed and looked at the ceiling without looking away for a long time. The rain on his body left wet marks on the pillow.
After a long time, he smiled bitterly and murmured softly, “Jinshu…Why are you…”
He had seen the weirdness of things a long time ago, but he just kept silent.
In fact, all things are nothing more than a retribution. At the beginning, Wen Zeyun was so cruel to Yun Jinshu. He just slapped him and reprimanded him, but from the beginning to the end, he did not seek justice for Yun Jinshu.
At that time, he was so selfish, thinking that as long as the evil results were not achieved, everything could be regarded as not happening, but he never thought that what he did would hurt Yun Jinshu a bit.
This person Yun Jinshu can swallow everything in his stomach. He used to be like this. He can resist all the pain without saying a word. With such a soft heart, he can choose what he has become. Revenge in such an extreme way?
Han Jiang closed his eyes in despair, only guilt and distress in his chest, but miraculously there was no resentment.
In the past, he blindly held Wen Zeyun to the highest position in his heart, thinking that he was still that simple and lovely childhood sweetheart, so he ignored his arrogance, domineering, narrow and selfish, and unreasonably tolerated, but when the truth was revealed, the ugliest inside was revealed. Only when he was on the wrong side did he realize how outrageous he was.
Love is not unreasonable tolerance, nor is it cruel to be a lover’s puppet and executioner. He is an accomplice in hurting Yunjinshu. Now that the truth is revealed, he uses any reason to accuse him of being cruel.
Wrong is wrong, Wen Zeyun wants to atone for his mistakes, why shouldn’t Han Jiang atone for his sins?
“Jinshu…”
Han Jiang took a deep breath, only feeling that his chest was empty and very uncomfortable. He took out the phone to listen to his voice, but he rubbed his fingers back and forth on the button, but finally did not press it.
——
The heavy rain in S City continued for three days and there was still no sign of stopping. Because the heavy rain came suddenly, the relevant departments did not have time to take emergency measures. A large amount of stagnant water flooded the urban roads, and the entire city of S Traffic is paralyzed.
At the same time, the “Flying Waterfall Villa”, which had just opened for three days, suddenly collapsed in a large area. A large amount of building materials and mudstones were mixed with rainwater and fell from the mountain, blocking the river, causing a large amount of stagnant water in the city to be unable to drain out. Many houses have been flooded continuously, resulting in the deaths of more than ten people.
The central government couldn’t sit still anymore, and set up an action team overnight to clean up the defilement and dredge the bargain. It also ordered the relevant parties to immediately investigate the cause of the villa collapse.
Because the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the “Flying Waterfall Villa” three days ago was extremely grand, and Dong Xu was a sassy person, everyone in City S knew that this piece of land was related to the Dong family, but now it has only rained for three days. A half of such a luxurious villa collapsed, and the fool guessed that there was definitely a problem in it.
Dong Xu, who was originally triumphant, became a target of public criticism. Even if the Dong family tried their best to cover up the fact that the house collapsed, it couldn’t stand the central government’s full investigation.
Within two days, the cause of the accident was clear. The so-called “Flying Waterfall Villa” is nothing more than a tofu project. It looks luxurious and splendid on the outside. In fact, the steel and cement inside are all substandard products. It can be crushed, but the quality is not up to standard.
More than a dozen lives were ruined because of this tofu dregs project. The anger of the people was ignited in an instant, the Dong family was pushed to the cusp of the storm, and Dong Xu became a rat crossing the street.
The turmoil in the political circle does not disturb the peace in the entertainment circle.
Because of the continuous flood disasters that caused heavy losses in City S, Xinghui organized most of the artists to hold a flood relief performance.
As an up-and-coming star, Yunjinshu naturally couldn’t refuse, and went to the disaster relief site under heavy rain. It was already nine o’clock in the evening when he was resting.
Thinking that kidney beans would be discharged from the hospital in the next few days, Yun Jinshu was in a good mood. He cooked a pot of millet porridge and took it to the hospital. When he was halfway down the road, Gu Yan called.
“Yes, I’m in the hospital, are you okay?”
“No, just ask if I can see kidney beans now? When I went to Korea before, I saw the kind of doll he likes, so I bought a few. It just so happens that I am free now and I want to send it to the little guy.”
Yunjinshu is not stupid. He understands that giving away dolls is just an excuse. He smiled and declined and said, “Forget it, the rain outside is too heavy. Let’s talk about it when the rain stops.”
Gu Yan smiled bitterly on the other side, “I will take the train to Shanghai tomorrow. It is estimated that it will take more than half a month to come back. Just now I have time. You don’t want me to see kidney beans? I’m still a kid and his godfather. It.”
“It’s really not necessary. You can send the toy any day, not to mention that you shouldn’t be here if you are on a business trip tomorrow.”
Yun Jinshu held the phone between his shoulders, and while talking, he freed his hand to unscrew the handle of the ward. As soon as he stepped in, he put a gun on the side of his head.
The phone was snatched by someone nearby and threw it on the ground with a loud “bang”.
Gu Yan was taken aback for a moment, then realized that something was wrong, and shouted anxiously, “Jinshu! Jinshu!? What about you…”
Gu Yan didn’t finish his words, the man just stepped on the phone to pieces…
