“Grandpa?!” An Yinong felt relieved when he saw someone coming, because it turned out to be a member of the He family.
“Tiantong!” Li Yufeng came in first. She hugged An Yinong and checked him carefully to make sure he was safe and sound. Only then did a little joy appear in her reddened eyes.
The other members of the He family looked at An Yinong, who was completely intact, and they felt relieved: “It’s good that he’s alright.”
They also noticed the person on the bed and were very surprised: “Atong, is this the person you saved?”
“Yes, this is Mr. Xie.”
Mr. Xie looked at An Yinong again: “My promise just now will not be invalidated. Your father is unreliable. Call me Uncle Jiu and I will give you half of the family property.”
The He family’s hearts skipped a beat. Half of this person’s fortune? From what he said, he wanted to adopt their Tiantong as his adopted son?
He Chengjue stood up from behind. He looked at the smiling An Yinong and wanted to say something, but in the end he just turned to Xie Jiu and said viciously: “Xie Jiu, if you want a son, go give birth to him yourself. Why are you stealing someone else’s?”
“Xie Jiu?” An Yinong deliberately raised his eyebrows and looked at Mr. Xie who looked a little unnatural.
“Mr. Xie is the ninth child in the family.” He Chengjue was just impulsive and now changed his words back to ‘Mr. Xie’. He had always been very sensible and would not choose to offend someone like Xie Jiu who was not easy to mess with, even though his son saved him.
It would be better to stay away from such dangerous people.
Xie Jiu directly bypassed He Chengjue and looked at Grandpa He behind him: “Old sir, long time no see.”
Grandpa He also looked at Xie Jiu, who had recently become famous: “I heard that Mr. Xie is currently developing wireless communication equipment. Young people have novel ideas and courage. Sooner or later, Hong Kong City will be ruled by your generation.”
“Thank you! If it weren’t for the old gentleman’s support for poor students, I wouldn’t have been able to get into HKU. And business leaders like the old gentleman who have secured fair business opportunities for us Chinese. It can be said that it’s leaders like the old gentleman who have cleared the obstacles for us, so that there are opportunities for those who come after us.”
Xie Jiu spoke sincerely. He turned to look at An Yinong who was still confused and said, “Only people like you can teach such smart and kind people.”
“Hey, hey, how come Tiantong was taught by my dad?” He Chengjue couldn’t help but interrupt.
“Shut up, I haven’t settled the previous score with you yet.” Li Yufeng looked at He Chengjue with a sneer. Now that An Yinong was back, she could settle the score with this bastard.
He Chengjue looked at his ex-wife’s unfriendly expression and finally realized his situation. He shrank aside.
“So your name is Tiantong.” Xie Jiu looked at An Yinong.
“Yes, actually I have another code name.” An Yinong turned sideways and wrote an ‘H’ on Xie Jiu’s palm. Xie Jiu’s fingers trembled, as if he was itchy, but also as if he was not used to such closeness.
“Nice to meet you.” X.
Xie Jiu clenched his fingers and held that finger. He looked up at An Yinong, trying to see his expression clearly.
An Yinong gently pulled out his fingers and placed his hand on Xie Jiu’s clenched fist: “Uncle Jiu, is there anyone you want to contact? I’ll call them for you.”
He Chengjue was close to them, and he always felt that the atmosphere between his son and Xie Jiu was weird. Also, what was the expression on the face of Xie Jiu, who wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow if someone died in front of him?
This kind of expression from a tyrant-like person really gives him goosebumps. Was he planning something bad? Was he trying to steal someone else’s son?
“Hey, Tiantong, Mr. Xie needs to rest, let’s not disturb him.”
He Chengjue pulled An Yinong away. An Yinong did not resist. He just turned around and winked at Xie Jiu on the bed: Have a good rest, X.
All the anxieties were soothed away in this way.
Xie Jiu suddenly wanted to laugh. The things that he had been entangled with for most of the day turned out to be so insignificant. Also, if H was not such an open-minded and pure person, why would he want to communicate and then get to know him?
In the eyes of ‘H’, I am just ‘X’. In fact, Xie Jiu was always conscious and knew everything.
He was in a semi-comatose state, but still conscious and aware of what was happening around him. However, in that situation, he had lost too much blood and was exhausted. He could only barely make a gesture to save himself, leaving the final judgment to fate.
After floating on his back on the sea for a long time, he accidentally encountered a fishing boat, but the boat ran away when it saw him from a distance. Xie Jiu thought he was doomed. His life slipped away little by little with time. Resentment and hatred occupied his heart like a devil.
At this moment, a beam of light fell into his world. It was An Yinong who saved him, pulled his body out of the icy sea, and pulled his soul out of despair.
Dividing the property in half was no joke. If he had something else, he could have given half of it to others. Unfortunately, he had nothing but money. “But why would he appear in the sea alone in a small boat? Did he have an accident? Or did someone want to harm him?”
The He family also wanted to know about this.
They wanted to ask An Yinong what happened to him and how he escaped, but this was a hospital with many people and lots of gossip, so they decided to go home and ask.
So the He family left behind bodyguards and enough money, and prepared to take the “poor” An Yinong home.
Xie Jiu did not stop him. He knew that An Yinong had rowed the boat for several hours and carried him to the shore. He was very tired, and had been tense and had not relaxed since then.
“I’ll go visit the He family in a couple of days after I finish my personal affairs. Tiantong, have a good rest.”
The He family’s expressions became strange again: was Xie Jiu such an easy-going person? Could the scene before them be their collective hallucination?
An Yinong looked at Xie Jiu and thought that he might not be able to (rest well) because the kidnapping was not over yet.
Of course, this matter could be put aside for now and they should go back to the He family first. Looking at these haggard elders, they probably didn’t have a good time last night. If they explain things clearly as soon as possible, they will feel at ease.
He got into the car, and Li Yufeng tightly held his hand. An Yinong could even feel the slight tremors. He looked at the familiar street scenery outside the window and felt relieved, as if he had returned to the world from the battlefield and could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
When they returned to the old house, the doctors who were already waiting there examined him. Both Chinese and Western medicine practitioners said that An Yinong was in good condition and was not even frightened.
After that, the elders did not rush to ask him, but asked the kitchen to bring a bowl of warm porridge to soothe An Yinong’s stomach, and then patted his shoulder: “If you feel well, you can tell us what happened at that time. If you want to rest, go to sleep first.”
“I’m fine now. In fact, I slept well for three or four hours yesterday.” An Yinong smiled and comforted everyone. After he sat down, he started talking from the moment he went out yesterday.
Although he had tried his best to blur certain details so as not to worry his family, when he heard the gangsters pointing guns at him and asking him to go with them, the He family was still so nervous that sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Afterwards, An Yinong talked about how he tried to save himself. He deliberately talked to the kidnappers and mentioned some daily topics, hoping to arouse their empathy. Everyone looked at him with an expression of “My child is so smart and brave.”
Unfortunately, this trick had no effect on the cold-hearted kidnapper, and he was still locked up.
“This is crazy. No one cares about kidnapping people in public? How bad has the public security in Hong Kong become? I must file a complaint!”
He Chengjue felt suffocated just by listening to it. He simply couldn’t imagine what would happen if An Yinong said something wrong or did something wrong. It was said that the Crocodile Gang was a bunch of lunatics, and that the gang killed people without blinking an eye.
“Third brother, shut up. Can you please listen to what the child has to say?” The second aunt pushed the younger brother aside.
The fact that he brought his lover to An Yinong’s house, which indirectly caused An Yinong to be in danger, left a very bad impression on the He family, so their attitude towards him was not very good.
If this wasn’t his biological brother, his second aunt would have killed him.
Later, An Yinong talked about how he met the person behind the scenes, and he knew that if he couldn’t escape, he would surely die.
“I have seen his face. If our two families cannot reach a cooperation, he will not let me leave alive. So, I must find a way to save myself.”
“Although the group of people who kidnapped me seemed to have some conscience and really wanted to send me away alive, but in that kind of environment, there are some things they can’t do just because they want to.”
Once you enter the world, you have no choice but to do what you want. This was not a joke.
Later, An Yinong also talked about the boss trying to inject him with drugs to control him. Grandpa He finally changed his face. This move was too vicious and was intended to destroy An Yinong.
Even if the two sides reached a cooperation, An Yinong would become a puppet in their hands because of drugs, and his life would be worse than death.
“Tiantong, are you okay?” Li Yufeng’s voice trembled and her face turned pale. She had seen too many people who were infected with that evil thing, and none of them had a good ending.
“Don’t worry, Mommy. Do you think I’m okay? Someone helped me.” An Yinong recounted the situation at that time. “I didn’t expect that the person who helped me by chance before would help me in return at this time.”
If it weren’t for the scarred man and those two guys, it’s hard to say what would have happened last night. Even if he could separate a shadow puppet, with so many people, could he defeat them?
He didn’t think so at the time, but now he thought about it, he was really lucky. The kidnappers he met were gangsters who had just started their careers. They were soft-hearted and easy to talk to, and two of them owed him a favor.
If the person responsible for arresting him was the bespectacled poison doctor, it would be useless no matter how much sympathy he could gain.
The He family also felt fortunate, only He Chengjue was wondering when this rescue of the homeless happened, but no one paid any attention to him.
“Those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few supporters. This has always been the truth.” Grandpa He said to his children earnestly, “You can’t make enough money. If you have the ability, help others. We may need help from others at any time.”
“Yes, Dad, we all know.”
An Yinong continued, “I was also lucky. In the middle of the night, the people from the White Tiger Hall came and wanted to search the entertainment club, and they had a conflict. The people guarding me left, leaving only two people. I was woken up, and just as I was getting anxious, the iron gate suddenly opened.”
Of course he wouldn’t talk about the shadow puppet, but he could supplement with other explanations.
“It was a man in his thirties. I can’t tell you the details. He said he was an undercover police officer and that telling others would attract attention. He was the one who saved me and told me how to escape.”
“And after?”
Looking at the He family members who were so nervous that they were holding their breath, An Yinong couldn’t help laughing: “Don’t be nervous, everyone. The two groups actually started fighting, and many places were on fire. It was a mess, so I took advantage of the chaos and ran into the nearby toilet. The secret passage that person mentioned was in a utility room in the women’s toilet.
“Just keep going down the road and you will reach the beach. There is a small boat over there. You will know later.”
While in the hospital, An Yinong told the story of how he escaped by boat and saved Xie Jiu on the way.
An Yinong looked at He Chengjue again: “Speaking of which, I have to thank my dad. If he hadn’t given me a lot of pocket money, I wouldn’t know how to thank the driver who kindly gave me a ride, how to send Mr. Xie to the hospital, and then contact you.”
Hearing An Yinong say that he wanted to thank He Chengjue, the He family members all showed a “hehe” expression.
He Chengjue was filled with shame, and walked up to An Yinong in front of everyone, “Tiantong, there is something that Dad wants to apologize to you for.”
He told me about Zhang Ming: “She said she committed suicide and just wanted to see me again. I also wanted to talk it out with her, so I agreed to it. But I didn’t expect that Zhang Ming…”
An Yinong was not surprised that Zhang Ming was looking for trouble with him, but he was sure that Zhang Ming could not control this group of people and it was probably just a coincidence that they met.
“Looking at his elegant and refined appearance, how could you imagine what kind of person he is?” An Yinong ‘kindly comforted’ He Chengjue, “It’s not your fault. You are kind to women. Once that woman cries, you can’t do anything about it.”
He Chengjue suddenly became even more depressed.
After “comforting” his bad father, An Yinong said to Grandpa He: “Grandpa, I remember what he looks like, and now I will draw it.”
Grandpa He felt a little comforted when he saw his grandson who remained calm after such an incident, but he still advised: “You should go and rest first. Grandpa knows who it is. I will deal with this matter. I will not let anyone who hurt you go.”
“Well, Grandpa, Mr. Xie…”
As soon as the three words “Mr. Xie” came out, they attracted the attention of the He family. The second aunt patted An Yinong on the shoulder and said, “I don’t know whether you are lucky or unlucky. If you say it’s good luck, you encountered such a thing. If you say it’s bad luck, you saved Xie Jiu. Xie Jiu is a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. If you saved him, he will definitely protect you.”
“Mr. Xie is very powerful?” The He family is a media powerhouse that cannot be offended, so why would they be afraid of him? Isn’t it said that Xie Jiu is a poor boy from the Walled City who started from scratch?
“That kid went to college at the age of fourteen and entered the medical department. He achieved success before he even graduated and developed a special medicine. But he has an even better business talent. Not long ago, he cooperated with the university to open three hospitals. I heard that he also invested in overseas medical research and development.”
Xie Jiu was the legendary “other people’s kid”, holding a bunch of medical patents, and money flowed into his pocket like water. And in recent years, he was not only engaged in medicine, but also in real estate, publishing, and entertainment.
And this person was very difficult to deal with. He was not easily persuaded, and he was very cold and ruthless in doing things. As a result, the general view of him was that he was not a bad person, but he was not a good person either. He was just a very successful businessman.
“Atong, why are you asking Xie Jiu? You don’t really want to be his adopted son, do you?” He Chengjue said with a sad face.
“It’s better to be anyone’s son than you.” Li Yufeng mocked him.
An Yinong’s face was full of black lines: “Dad, you think too much. Ah, I’m so tired. I’m going to rest first.”
As soon as he left, the He family members put away their smiles and said, “Dad, we can’t just let this go. If they dare to kidnap Tiantong today, they will dare to kidnap someone else tomorrow. When did our He family become a family that can be cut and bled at will?”
“Yes, Tiantong was able to come back because he was smart, calm and lucky. Anyone else would have been dead. We can’t let these bastards go.” This incident touched their sensitive nerves. These people were targeting the He family’s film and television industry, and the victim could be anyone.
“Be patient, you are not as patient as Tiantong.” Grandpa He looked at his children.
“The Crocodile gang is so unruly, I will make him give an explanation. As for the helpers, considering that they helped Tiantong, they will be punished lightly and warned severely. Also, find Zhang Ming. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, the fact that he planned human trafficking is true, right? He has done it, so he must admit it.”
