that year. So she entrusted this matter to a detective surnamed Su. (..tw no pop-up ads) Su was quite meticulous, but his abilities were ultimately dwarfed by Rong Ling. All the hard work he put in en..."Rong Ling... Rong Ling... Rong Ling..."
She cried out wildly, her joy so overwhelming she didn't know what to do. One hand pressed down on her chest, which was pounding even more intensely, while the other clutched the phone tightly, afraid that if it slipped, the voice, and the man, would vanish.
"Well, little one, it's me!"
A man's calm voice came from the phone, with an inexplicable power to soothe the soul.
"Rong Ling!"
"Hmm."
"Rong Ling!"
"Hmm."
"Rong Ling!"
"Hmm."
He answered her so patiently, and finally her heart calmed down a little. She felt like this wasn't a dream, but that Rong Ling was truly here, he was alive, and he was coming back.
The corners of her mouth rose high, she laughed, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, yet they were light and liberating.
"Rong Ling! Rong Ling! Rong Ling! Rong Ling!..."
She chirped with delight, just like a little bird merrily singing on a spring day. She opened her mouth and couldn't stop talking.
There was another chuckle on the other end of the phone.
She immediately changed her tune. "Call me sweetheart, call me sweetheart!"
He was very cooperative.
"Good boy!"
"Hmm." She let out a sour, bittersweet sob.
"Good boy!"
"Hmm." She sniffed contentedly.
"Good boy!"
"Well," she smiled sweetly.
"Good boy!"
"Hmm." her voice trailed off, with a hint of coquettishness.
Then he laughed again.
"Little one! ... Little one!" His calling was slow, low, and powerful, as if he were calling her right beside his ear. She vaguely felt his breath on her cheek.
"Little one!…… Little one!……" he called, his voice low and doting.
The persistent calls revealed, as always, an unspeakable indulgence. She giggled foolishly, her hands both reaching for the phone, as if she were holding a treasure.
Then, she was just like a child. She had been strong for so long, enduring for so long, and finally found her "adult child"! She laughed and cried, like a little kitten, innocent and completely lacking any trace of sophistication.
Ron Ling is back, so she can be Xiao Quai!
Here's a little cutie who can be adorable and act spoiled!
He heard it, and the calling voice became even lower and softer.
"Little one!…… Little one!……”
"Hmm," she finally felt a little satisfied, and then the urge to see him immediately, to rush into his arms, surged over her. He had just said to come pick him up!
Yes, she is going to pick him up!
Right away!
She instantly stood up, rushing to go out and find him, then flew into his arms.
As soon as she stood up, she felt two tugging forces. She lowered her eyes slightly and saw two little kids, their eyes red, staring at her anxiously. It turned out that the two little ones had heard the movement of Lin Meng's conversation and immediately jumped down from their chairs, bouncing to Lin Meng's side. They eagerly pricked up their ears to listen to the sounds coming from her phone, although they couldn't hear it very clearly. However, the voice sounded like daddy, and seeing Mommy's expression, they also knew that it really was Daddy!
He really is dad!
Two little guys were so excited their whole bodies were tense, they wished they could jump up and snatch the phone to talk to daddy themselves, shouting "Daddy!" at the top of their lungs. But seeing mommy like this, they obediently held back. Mommy missed daddy so much, so let's let mommy chat with daddy for a while first. (..tw no pop-up ads)
Lin Meng saw the two little ones and hurriedly called out to them.
"Come on, let's go pick up your daddy with mommy!"
He rushed out again!
This imposing demeanor even unsettled Rong Qi and the others sitting there. They all pushed back their chairs and stood up, their faces flushed with excitement. However, seeing Lin Meng like this, they didn't dare to interrupt. As they watched Lin Meng run out, they followed suit. In an instant, a bizarre scene unfolded in the hallway outside the CEO's office: The young acting CEO ran ahead with two children, while Asia-East's elite followed excitedly behind.
What's going on!
The secretaries in the office were not calm. Besides the one on duty at the door, everyone else came out.
"Sex"
For a moment, the oxfords and high heels clicked on the floor, forming a kind of steady rhythm.
On the phone, Rong Ling laughed again. He could probably imagine the scene. But that silly girl, he didn't even tell her where to meet him, and she just rushed out like that!
Stupid girl!
But his heart was filled with his silly girl! Because it was full, he couldn't care about anything else!
"Baby, don't worry, I won't be there that soon. Take your time!"
Lin Meng was stunned, and immediately retracted her foot. But because she had packed up too hastily, her body wasn't stable, and she was about to fall forward. The two little boys who were chasing after her hurriedly also couldn't stop their momentum, so they bumped straight into Lin Meng. In an instant, the bigger one fell down, and the two smaller ones also tumbled over.
Lin Meng let out a muffled grunt, her arm crashing heavily onto the ground. But she didn't even notice the pain, hastily shoving her phone back to her ear and gasping for breath as she cried out in a panic.
"Róng Líng!"
I'm afraid he might suddenly disappear!
"Here I am, here I am!" Rong Ling hurriedly coaxed her, asking, "What's wrong over there" The noise didn't sound quite right.
"It's fine, it's fine!" Lin Meng giggled. The pain was completely ignored by her.
Two little guys tumbled to the ground and didn't even care about themselves. Like little panthers, they darted over to Lin Meng's side, leaned in close, pressing their ears to his phone, desperately trying to hear something.
Lin Meng sighed inwardly, then hurriedly put the phone on speaker. Rong Ling's voice instantly flowed out of her phone. It was low and slightly hoarse, but it sounded as beautiful as the most melodious strings in the world.
"Really nothing" He sounded doubtful.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
"Daddy--"
Two small ones let out a scream at the same time. Finally, they could hear Rong Ling's voice so clearly, the two little ones were overjoyed, prancing about like ponies, their excited cries barely containing their joy.
Others too were overcome with emotion, some clenching their fists, others blushing, some with glistening eyes, and still others with trembling lips!
It's not easy, finally I waited for him!
"Youyou, Haoh!"
Everyone greeted each other politely.
Two little fellas were so excited, like they'd popped a shot of adrenaline. After a quick "hey," they screamed straight up and down, full of energy.
"Daddy! Daddy!"
One voice competed with another, as if in a competition.
Their faces flushed red, as if they were about to burst. Their black eyes shone brightly, outshining any star in the night sky. Just one glance at their brilliance would be unforgettable for a lifetime!
That was utterly magnificent!
They were overjoyed!
At this moment, a voice interjected --
"Big brother, let's get on the boat first!"
Yu Xu's familiar voice rang out, instantly silencing the two excited little ones who were about to jump up and down.
"Where are you now" Lin Meng, who was sitting on the ground without a shred of hesitation, answered the question for everyone.
"An unknown island!"
Lin Meng's heart skipped a beat. "Then... then where should I pick you up How are you doing now Are you alright Did anything happen" Look at her, this silly girl, so caught up in her excitement that she completely forgot to ask the most important thing.
Rong Ling's answer, as always, was nonchalant and breezy. Facing her, even if something was wrong, he would say it was nothing.
"It's fine, I'm doing well. Don't worry!"
Lin Meng only then heard a whimpering sound still coming from her phone. When she connected to Xiaodao, the whimpering was likely just the sea wind blowing.
"Beware!" it was Yu Xu who said.
Lin Meng's heart tightened. "Are you really okay! Don't lie to me!"
She gritted her teeth, her voice tight.
Rong Ling smiled, a smile of habitual indifference. It was the kind of smile that even if the sky fell, it seemed like nothing could affect it.
"It's really okay, you'll see when you get here!"
Yu Xu was also explaining on the side. "Meng Meng, Big Brother is fine, it's just that the roads on the island are a bit difficult to walk, I told Big Brother to be careful and not get lost in talking, lest he trips with one foot!"
"Oh, well then I won't say anything more. You guys go first, go ahead..." she hurriedly replied.
"It's okay, you talk. I'm listening. I love hearing your voice." The low voice was still slightly amused, very warm.
Lin Meng hummed in response, but she didn't know what to say. She fell silent all of a sudden. However, she pricked up her ears, trying very hard to make out what kind of noise it was. Her mind began to conjure images of what the scene might be like.
The “woooo” sound was a little loud, it seemed like more than just the sound of the sea wind. There was a vague feeling like wings flapping, vaguely, and you could also hear people talking, but not too loudly.
"Good boy," he said.
"Hmm," she quickly replied.
He couldn't hear it, but after his hint, he quickly called back to him.
"Rong Ling!"
"Hmm." A sound, soft and low, like it came from the tip of his nose. It carried a faint sweetness, teasingly alluring.
"Rong Ling!" she called, only calling his name. That way, it probably wouldn't affect his walking,
"Hmm..."
The two little ones will follow along and call too.
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
"Hmm..."
It was only the faintest "mmhmm" sound, but it brought immense satisfaction to the mother and her two sons. They giggled foolishly like a single unit. It felt as if he were already there with them, yet this man who was closest to their hearts seemed to be sitting beside them.
But obviously Rong Ling was hiding something. He was lying on a stretcher, carried onto the boat by Yu Xu's people, and then quickly taken to a medical room that had been prepared earlier.
Yu Xu searched for Rong Ling while making the most thorough preparations, thinking of everything he could. First and foremost, an operating room was essential. Rong Ling had been shot in the chest, a highly dangerous situation, so if they found him, surgery might be needed immediately. Then, equipment like X-ray machines and blood testing devices also had to be ready.
Rong Ling was pushed inside. He first had a chest X-ray. His condition was as he had initially said—fine. Of the five bullets fired into his body, two were stopped by his bulletproof vest. One of them could have been fatal. This was also the first bullet Li Lanqiu had fired at Rong Ling.
The quality of the German bulletproof vest is still very reliable, the first extremely dangerous bullet was just blocked by the bulletproof vest. However, close-range bullet attacks still produce a strong "impact death" effect. That is to say, although the bullet did not penetrate the bulletproof vest, due to its powerful kinetic energy, the small bullet instantly hit the human body like a large stone. This strong impact death can still be fatal in severe cases.
However, it was fortunate that the gun Yu Xu had given to Li Lanqiu at the beginning wasn't some high-end weapon, but just an ordinary one readily available on the market. At the time, Yu Xu did this to try and clear any suspicion from Rong Ling's side as much as possible. That way, if something happened on Li Lanqiu's end, the other party wouldn't be able to find anything from that common firearm. Since it was an ordinary weapon, its power and bullets wouldn't be too impressive. That's why the bullet didn't penetrate the bulletproof vest, and the kinetic energy wasn't strong enough to kill Rong Ling instantly. Although there was no death, the intense pain was unavoidable, which is why Rong Ling experienced a sharp pain in his chest at the time, feeling as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer.
Fortunately, his body had developed instinctive reactions from countless trainings. He twisted just in time and dodged the deadly second bullet.
Even the best bulletproof vest couldn't withstand such intense fire. The first bullet damaged the vest, and the second one, though it was partly stopped by the vest, penetrated it due to the impact energy. The bullet then shot into Rong Ling's body.
Fortunately, Rong Ling twisted a little, and fortunately, Rong Ling was tall. As a result, Li Lanqiu, who was about 1.66 meters tall, was much shorter than him. Her face could just lean against his chest. In such a frantic situation, she reached for the gun under the blanket to shoot Rong Ling, but her hand couldn't raise that high. The first shot she fired hit the target, but the second one couldn't. At that time, Rong Ling was slightly supporting Li Lanqiu, naturally bending his waist. After being shot, he reacted instinctively, tightening his body and twisting. The muzzle of the gun could only point downwards, then slid sideways. As a result, the final shot did not hit Rong Ling's heart. Besides, because it was blocked by the bulletproof vest, the power was greatly reduced.
When the third one came, it was even farther from the heart and still got stopped by the bulletproof vest!
Then came the fourth and fifth, when Rong Ling's instinctual defense became even stronger!
The last one, the fifth one, was deflected again by the powerful bulletproof vest because it was farther away from the previous few.
That is to say, there were a total of three bullets shot into Rong Ling's body. However, all three were removed from his body by Rong Ling himself using willpower and a small knife!
If you let a bullet stay in your body for too long, it's playing with fire!
Yu Xu looked at the results on the instrument, and couldn't help but let tears blur his eyes again. To directly use a knife to open his own chest and remove the bullet, what kind of perseverance did his older brother have back then to get through it!
With a pale face, Rong Ling rushed to Yu Xu and made a gesture that meant - I said it's okay, go back!
The doctor murmured advice on the side. "It's best to have a supplementary operation. The incision wasn't handled well, and it should be re-treated..."
"Does it really matter if we don't do it now"
Yu Xu asked. Because he saw Rong Ling's gesture of striking him, he resolutely told him – go back immediately! He understood in his heart that his older brother wanted to see Lin Meng as soon as possible. As soon as he found his older brother, his phone was taken away by his older brother, and then his older brother immediately called Lin Meng. When his older brother said "Little sweetheart, I miss you, come pick me up home, okay," he shed tears. He could understand the feeling of wanting to comfort his beloved one first after such a great danger, and he could also understand the urgent desire to rush to his loved ones' side immediately.
The past two weeks have been a torment for Lin Meng, but it has been no less torturous for his elder brother. Perhaps, it was the concern for Lin Meng that allowed his elder brother to persevere and live on.
Even though the bullet was taken out as quickly as possible, how could a wounded and profusely bleeding body possibly recover easily! Not to mention, being on such a small, isolated island with virtually nothing to eat, one could starve to death.
When he found his elder brother, seeing him pale and leaning against a rock with his bare upper body wrapped in a dark red cloth clearly soaked in blood, his heart felt like it had been stabbed!
To survive in such a harsh environment is truly remarkable!
Between calls, Big Brother specifically instructed him not to raise his voice and to cooperate, acting like everything was fine. Wasn't this all to reassure Lin Meng on the other end of the phone! Big Brother had a wound in his chest and was so weak that he couldn't speak much, but when talking to Lin Meng, he forced himself to stay strong, putting on an act as if nothing had happened, as if he was perfectly fine. This was all just to prevent Lin Meng from worrying! Big Brother even smiled, his tone showing no hint of abnormality. Looking at him, it was truly heartbreaking.
The reefs, big or small, high or low, made the path uneven and rugged. He called out to his bearers, “Be careful!” His words brought a warning look from his elder brother!
These are all for Lin Meng!
So, let's get the big brother to meet Lin Meng quickly. If it's not an emergency that requires surgery, then let's delay it for now. I estimate that Lin Meng is the best medicine for the big brother. The sooner the big brother meets Lin Meng, the faster he will recover!
And Lin Meng also wanted to see her elder brother soon, she was crazy to see him.
The phone was on speaker, he could roughly guess what Lin Meng looked like now!
These days, it hasn't been easy for anyone, especially these two!
So, he asked the doctor:
The doctor was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
Then, Rong Ling was quickly transferred onto a helicopter. Amidst the roar of its wings, the group sped towards the port nearest to Kyoto!
Yu Xu didn't take back the phone he had placed beside Rong Ling. It was a connection between Rong Ling and Lin Meng before they truly met, so the call couldn't possibly be ended. He took the phone in his hand and called Dayang, telling him about Rong Ling's next itinerary and asking him to bring Lin Meng and her child to the port to greet them.
Dai Yang figured everything out and then set off with his wife and son. Others who had the same intention followed suit. People like Shi Yu also received the news and rushed over from different places, gradually converging with Lin Meng. In the end, a massive convoy, mighty and imposing, headed north towards the Bohai Sea port!
During that time, the conversation continued, but it only contained the most basic content.
"Rong Ling!"
"Hmm..."
……
"Daddy!"
"Hmm..."
……
"Rong Ling!"
"Hmm..."
……
The call of the mother and her two children, would rise every little while, and without exception, would receive a curt response. This "um," wasn't stirring or rousing, but with a taste comparable to "the lingering echo for three days," it stirred and warmed one in a subtle way.
