Hear this life

Wen Tingli had to cover her mouth tightly to avoid screaming.

This scene was so shocking and heartbreaking that she couldn't even be sure that Lu Shicheng was still alive.

Two people went over to take a careful look, and one of them suddenly drew his hand back in fright.

"He's awake!"

"You're awake, so you're awake. Why are you screaming?!" Qiu Lingyun cursed with his eyes glaring.

Mr. Lu Sanye waved his hand, and the beam of light slowly moved upwards from Lu Shicheng's chest and abdomen again. Suddenly, the light stopped on Lu Shicheng's face.

Lu Shicheng was blinded by the light.

Master Lu Sanye signaled his men to move the light away from Lu Shicheng's face.

In the first few seconds, Lu Shicheng lay motionless on the ground, which made him look like a dead leaf with no signs of life.

Soon, he began to turn his head with difficulty to look around.

When he moved, Wen Tingli's palm was almost pinched. She concluded that Lu Shicheng was seriously injured, because every time he moved, he would gasp silently for a long time. The back of his head seemed to be injured as well, and the collar of his shirt behind his neck was stained red.

Finally, Lu Shicheng slowly raised his head and looked towards Mr. Lu Sanye at his feet.

There was no extra expression, but this glance was chilling.

Someone came out from behind Master Lu San and fiercely pinched Lu Shicheng's chin: "What are you looking at? Master San, do you want to teach him a lesson?"

Master Lu San waved his hand slowly and said, "You guys leave first. I have something to say to him."

After everyone left, only Master Lu San and Lu Shicheng were left in the yard.

A gust of wind blew by, and Mr. Lu San pushed the wheelchair closer to Lu Shicheng with a gloomy face.

Lu Shicheng was breathing slightly on the ground, but his eyes were fixed on Master Lu Sanye.

Third Master Lu sneered softly, "I hate it the most when you look at me like this. You are still a child, but you always look at me and my second brother with such scrutiny. Sometimes it really makes me feel creepy. But every time I notice something is wrong and look back at you, you lower your head to play with your toys. You look so well-behaved. You are so good at disguising yourself that you have deceived us for more than ten years! If I had known that you had guessed the truth, do you think you could live to adulthood? If you had gotten rid of this troublemaker earlier, my second brother and I would not have been harmed so badly by you!"

At this point, Master Lu San started beating his legs as if to vent his anger. His legs seemed to be made of two pieces of dead wood, and there was a strange "bang bang bang" sound.

Lu Shicheng laughed silently.

There was satisfaction, sarcasm and provocation in the smile, but no guilt.

This expression deeply hurt Mr. Lu San. With a dark face, he took out a gun from his jacket pocket and pointed it at Lu Shicheng.

"Believe it or not, I will kill you right now?!"

Not only did Lu Shicheng not show any fear, his smile deepened, and it was a naked contempt and mockery.

Mr. Lu's forehead jumped, and he suddenly laughed sinisterly: "No, if I kill you now, it would be too easy for you. The old man's seal is still in your hand, and the affairs of the factories and banks are waiting to be handed over. Let you live for two more days. When I take back everything that belongs to me, it won't be too late to announce your death to the public."

He leaned his upper body forward and looked at Lu Shicheng's face with interest.

"Do you hate your uncle so much? No matter how much you hate him, what can you do? You have to admit defeat if you lose!"

He laughed so hard that his shoulders shook and he was laughing from head to toe.

"Look at you. Everyone says you look like your mother, but I think your expression is exactly like your father's. Especially the look in your eyes now. That's how your father looked at me and my second brother!"

When Lu Shicheng's father was mentioned, naked hatred emerged in Mr. Lu's eyes.

"Yes, he was born to the first wife. My second brother and I are Nanyang bastards who are looked down upon by everyone. He has everything going for him, so he should be content. But he just thinks of himself as an elder brother and always orders us about everything. That year, my second brother and I just wanted to do something small for ourselves, but your father said that we had ruined the reputation of the Lu family and insisted on reporting the matter to Dad!"

He sneered, "I really don't understand, what on earth is he so dissatisfied about? He is the future head of the family. When he officially takes charge of the family, my second brother and I will have no choice but to live a life of dependence on others! But he still wants to make things difficult for us. If he is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust!"

Lu Shicheng propped up his arms with an expressionless face and tried to move outward, but he was obviously seriously injured and could only move half an inch at a time.

Mr. Lu Sanye pushed the wheelchair slowly to catch up, and when he suddenly turned a corner, the wheel happened to press on Lu Shicheng's fingers.

Lu Shicheng's face turned as pale as paper in an instant, but he couldn't shout out and could only bear it.

Wen Tingli was trembling all over, but her reason told her that if she rushed out to save people at this moment, she would also die. No, she had to wait for the right opportunity.

But the scene was so cruel that she couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she closed her eyes tightly.

"Does it hurt?" Third Master Lu's tone sounded particularly pleasant. "I have long suspected that you are not mute. Now it's just you and me. If it hurts, just shout it out. As long as you are willing to ask for mercy from Third Uncle, and sincerely kowtow to me three times to apologize on behalf of your father, I will spare your life."

The place was dead silent. Third Master Lu sneered, "When it comes to stubbornness, no one in the Lu family can compare to you."

He clapped his hands in delight.

The gang came running in.

"Keep a close eye on him. Kuang Zhilin has not fallen into our hands yet. Today and tomorrow are the most crucial battles. We must add more manpower here and must not make any mistakes."

"Don't worry, Third Master." Qiu Lingyun said loudly, "Four people have been arranged to guard the intersection, and four people will stay in the factory. In addition, my father will bring people here as soon as he finishes his work. I can guarantee that not even a fly can fly in here tonight. Kuang Zhilin's side is the highlight, and Gang Leader Cao has already led people there personally. Third Master, you can take your people to meet Gang Leader Cao."

Mr. Lu San hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Has Hall Master Qiu called a doctor? Don't let this kid die before the matter is resolved."

"Don't worry, my father has arranged everything."

Mr. Lu San did not respond, but suddenly glanced towards the top of the wall. Wen Tingli was immediately startled and broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Mr. Lu San's gaze did not stay on the top of the wall, but scanned the treetops on the wall. He looked around carefully and then moved his gaze back to Lu Shicheng on the ground.

"Don't underestimate him because he is silent. He is ruthless when it comes to plotting against people. Don't take it lightly."

Hearing this, Qiu Lingyun immediately took the rope and went forward to tie up Lu Shicheng for more than ten times, and then used a cloth strip to strangle Lu Shicheng's mouth. Then he clapped his hands and stood up. Several minions laughed and said, "Young Master, you are too cautious. Is it necessary to do this to a seriously injured person?"

"It's always better to be cautious."

Only then did Mr. Lu San show an expression of appreciation to Qiu Lingyun: "Thank you for your hard work tonight."

Everyone worked together to lift Mr. Lu Sanye's wheelchair into the car, started the car, and left the factory.

Qiu Lingyun ordered the people around him: "Drag him to the warehouse."

Several people opened the door, turned on the lights, and put Lu Shicheng in the innermost corner of the warehouse.

Four people sat on the ground in a crooked manner.

After sitting there for a while, Qiu Lingyun slapped his arm and cursed, "There are so many mosquitoes in this crappy place. It's not even one o'clock yet. If we sit here all night, we'll be bitten all over. You two, go out and buy some mosquito coils, and some wine and midnight snacks."

A few people looked at each other and realized that buying mosquito coils was fake, and buying wine and midnight snacks was real.

"Young Master, there doesn't seem to be any decent late-night snack shops around here." The two men said embarrassedly.

"You're so long-winded!" Qiu Lingyun took out a pistol from his waist. "There's nothing nearby. Why don't you look for it farther away? My father is coming soon. I'm watching here. Are you afraid of any mishaps? You usually kill people and set fires without blinking an eye, but you're so slow on small matters."

After sending the two lackeys away, Qiu Lingyun turned to the remaining one and said, "Asheng, you go outside and guard. I have two questions to ask this guy surnamed Lu."

Ah Sheng scratched his head, stood up and walked out.

When there was no one around, Qiu Lingyun walked up to Lu Shicheng and said with a fake smile, "I didn't expect that you, Lu Shicheng, would have this day."

There was no sound on the ground. Qiu Lingyun squatted down and used the barrel of his gun to fiddle with the gold watch on Lu Shicheng's wrist. His expression was both envious and indignant. He made a "tsk" sound and grabbed Lu Shicheng by the collar.

"You're pretty good at fighting, aren't you? Stand up and beat me up like you did last time! Don't just lie there like a lost dog."

When he shook him, blood suddenly flowed out of Lu Shicheng's nose and his face turned extremely pale.

Qiu Lingyun was stunned and cursed: "Just pretend to be dead."

Even so, he had no choice but to throw Lu Shicheng back to the ground. However, he was unwilling to give up like this, so he asked in a low voice with a gloomy face: "Tell me honestly, did Wen Tingli sleep with you?"

Although Lu Shicheng still had his eyes closed, he frowned.

Qiu Lingyun sneered, "You found it out after one try. You didn't react when I scolded you, but you reacted when I heard her name. That's right, if you hadn't been thinking about going to her appointment today, you wouldn't have fallen into our trap. If you hadn't been interested in her, why would you help her out one after another? Let me ask you, how many times have you slept with Wen Tingli? Speak! Don't play dead!"

Suddenly he smiled ambiguously again.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I'll check her body myself and I'll know."

That laugh was extremely vulgar and shameless.

Lu Shicheng suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were so sharp that Qiu Lingyun felt a chill in his heart.

Qiu Lingyun spat, "Want to kill someone?! You think you can still protect Wen Tingli, but you are going to die yourself!"

He stood up and kicked Lu Shicheng hard in the calf.

Lu Shicheng gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.

"Does it hurt?" Qiu Lingyun was extremely proud. "Aren't you very tough? I tell you, you owe me this. Wen Tingli and I have been childhood sweethearts. If you and the guy surnamed Meng hadn't interfered, she would have been my wife long ago!"

After the kick, Qiu Lingyun walked to the other side, cursed, picked up an iron rod on the ground, came back and sneered:
"Finally God has opened his eyes. Now that you have fallen into my hands, I will settle the score for humiliating me last time."

After saying this, Qiu Lingyun raised the iron rod in his hand high and swung it towards Lu Shicheng's calf.
Lu Shicheng's face changed, he turned over with difficulty, and moved towards the door with difficulty.

"Want to run?" Qiu Lingyun swung the iron rod again with a grim smile, "I don't want much, just break your legs! Anyway, you are covered in injuries now, and others can't tell which ones are new!"

Because he used all his strength, the iron rod created a whirring sound in the air.

If the stick was swung down, Lu Shicheng's leg would be broken.

In a flash, with a "bang", the iron rod in Qiu Lingyun's hand fell to the ground.

Qiu Lingyun stared at his wrist, looking confused.

The next moment, he saw a large amount of blood flowing from his wrist, and he felt horrified: "Gun! Gun! Who is it!"

While screaming, he tried frantically to pull his gun out of his belt, but his right hand was powerless and his legs were weak. Fearing that he would be shot a second time, he covered his wrist and staggered towards the gate.

"Someone come quickly! Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng, there is an ambush here!"

Ah Sheng, who was outside, had already rushed in with a gun. At this moment, the second bullet was fired from the window and hit Ah Sheng accurately. Then came the third shot, and this time, the bullet hit Qiu Lingyun's buttocks.

Then, the light bulb above the warehouse was also shattered.

The shots were continuous and crisp, plunging the surroundings into darkness in an instant.

Qiu Lingyun and his companions were in a panic. The gunman hiding in the dark was not only extremely accurate in shooting, but also extremely decisive and calm. Out of the instinct of survival, they had to endure the severe pain and crawl out, while shouting for help at the top of their lungs.

However, their cries for help did not last long as they fainted due to their severe injuries.

The warehouse fell into silence again, and several people quietly jumped down from the window.

Half an hour later, several cars drove in from outside.

"Hey, why doesn't Ling Yun turn on the light?" The leading man shouted, "Ling Yun? Ling Yun?"

As he was shouting, Qiu Dapeng suddenly felt something was wrong. He pulled out his gun from his waist with a sullen face, and his steps slowed down. He moved to the door of the warehouse with extreme caution, and was suddenly startled: "Ling Yun! Ling Yun! Wake up! Who is so brave!"

Along with the chaotic footsteps, countless beams of light shone over. A group of people followed Qiu Dapeng and ran over to check the situation of the two people on the ground. Another group held guns and carefully entered the warehouse to check, and then retreated with pale faces.

"Oh no! Hall Master Qiu! Lu Shicheng is missing!"

***
Lu Shicheng stared drowsily at the thick fog in front of him.

It was pitch black all around, and he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality. There was a light floating in front of him, as if guiding him forward. He stumbled along, and unknowingly came to a very bright place. His body became extremely small, and someone was holding him tightly.

"Don't look back, be careful that the kidnappers may catch up with us." He immediately recognized it as his mother's voice. His mother was holding him and running with one foot deep and one foot shallow, her voice full of fear.

He heard himself crying softly.

"Daddy... why didn't Daddy catch up?"

"Daddy, he's negotiating with the bad guys in the back." The mother seemed very sad, and her tears fell into his collar like beads from a broken string.

He didn't dare to speak, because he remembered the short sounds just now, like the sound of firecrackers during the Spring Festival. After that, his father never appeared again, and his mother began to tremble after these sounds.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"Mom, why did those people arrest us and lock us up for so long? I didn't do anything bad. Shicheng is very good. I want to go find Dad."

But his mother seemed to have heard something. She covered his mouth with her hand, looked around in confusion, and without saying a word, she picked him up and ran in the other direction. There was a big tree with a hole in it, but it was too small and could only accommodate the little him.

"They are driving a car, we can't run far." The mother said in a trembling voice, "Good child, you hide here for a while, and no matter what you hear next, you are not allowed to make any noise, remember?"

He was so scared that he covered his mouth with his hands, but he only held it in for two seconds before he stretched out his hands and cried, "Mom, I want Mom."

His mother stuffed him back into the tree hole and said quickly, "Mom is not kidding. Listen to me. If you dare to make a sound later, you will never see me again. Wait until there is no movement outside, then quietly come out and run a mile in the opposite direction of the sun. You will see fishermen and villages. Only then can you shout for help. Xiao Cheng is the best at math. Tell mom, what is the phone number of the mansion?"

He choked up and said the number, but still hugged his mother's neck tightly: "I don't want to be separated from my mother."

His mother suddenly slapped him.

He was dumbfounded. This was the first time his mother hit him.

Then, the mother covered his mouth with red eyes and warned him through gritted teeth: "You will die if you make a sound again! Listen to me, those bad guys will try every means to lure you out, but the smarter and braver the child is, the less likely he will be fooled by them! As long as you are obedient and don't say anything, I will come to find you soon! Everything is a test for you, you can't shout, and you can't go out! Remember!"

He nodded with tears in his eyes. His mother gave her a loving kiss on the forehead, then turned around and ran in another direction.

While running, he shouted to the front: "Shicheng, Shicheng! Give my son back to me!"

After a while, a car came.

"I see! There she is!"

He curled up in the tree hole in fear, tears falling uncontrollably. Only then did he realize that a person can cry without making any sound.

From a distance, several men's voices were heard.

"You run fast enough. Why are you the only one here? Where's your son?"

The mother said in hatred, "She was kidnapped by your accomplices!"

"fart!"

The mother burst into tears: "We've got the money, what else do you want? Your accomplices are dissatisfied with the unfair distribution of the spoils and are planning to use my son to extort money from his grandfather. They can't get far. Please help me get my son back!"

"Don't listen to her nonsense. I think the child is hiding in these woods. Hey, little master, your mother is in our hands. If you don't come out, be careful that we will eat your mother."

He became anxious when he heard this and almost crawled out of the tree hole, but the stinging pain on his cheek suddenly reminded him of the slap in the face from his mother.

Mom said that if he made any sound, he would never see her again. Mom had never lied to him.

Then, a crisp sound came from the woods, like a slap in the face.

"Listen, if you don't come out any more, we will beat your mother to death."

Several times, he wanted to climb out regardless of the consequences, but his mother's warnings seemed to have turned into an invisible rope, which repeatedly tied him back to the tree hole.

"As long as you stay quiet, mom will come find you soon!"

Yes, they must have been lying to him. A person will cry when he is in pain, but he can’t hear his mother’s voice outside. Maybe his mother has already run away.

He clenched his teeth, tears in his eyes, and hugged his knees, not daring to move.

Later, the group of people left and it became unusually quiet outside.

There was no human voice, nor the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, as if he was the only one left in the world.

An unprecedented feeling of fear made him unable to listen to his mother and stay in the tree hole. He crawled out in a panic to find his mother.

As expected, there was no one in the woods.

There was a large patch of dark red liquid on the ground, and my mother was gone. The bad guys were gone too.

He squatted down in panic, looked at the red and cried, but his throat seemed to be blocked by an invisible thing and suddenly he could not cry out.

He stood up in panic and continued to cry silently while looking for his mother. As he searched, he suddenly remembered his mother's instructions.

"Run one mile in the direction away from the sun. Run! Run! As long as you behave yourself, your mother will come to find you soon!"

He lowered his head and ran. Not long after, he heard the sound of a car behind him. Those people came back.

"Young Master, don't run away. Your mother is looking for you."

He didn't dare to answer.

But they caught up anyway.

At this time, the sound like firecrackers rang in my ears again, but this time it came from the opposite side, and the one who screamed was the man in the car behind.

A large group of people came towards us, led by a few familiar faces.

"Master Cheng." Several cars drove up to him quickly and someone hugged him into the car.

He twisted his body desperately, and the extreme anxiety made him feel very nauseous.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The middle-aged man hugged him tightly and comforted him, "Good boy! Where are the master and the mistress?"

Mom, Mom, save Mom. He shouted in his heart, but no matter how loud he shouted, no sound came out of his throat.

He began to tremble all over, struggled to jump out of the car and looked for his mother.

He didn't shout nonsense, so it's time for his mother to keep her promise and come find him.

But his mother broke her promise. No matter where he looked, he could not see her again.

Suddenly, the scene in front of me became dark, and the surroundings turned into an unfamiliar factory.

Lu Kejian sneered in his ear.

"I was wondering why you hate us so much, so you want to avenge your parents?"

"That thing was obviously done perfectly. When did you guess that it was me and my second brother who did it?"

Suddenly, it turned into Qiu Lingyun's begging and screaming. "There's an ambush, help!"

In the darkness, a figure was running towards him quickly.

His vision had actually been blurred for a long time, but he vaguely felt that the person was very familiar.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

That was not the sound of firecrackers, it was gunfire.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu." Someone whispered anxiously.

is her!

His heart was suddenly gripped by a vague worry, and he reached out to push her away.

Leave me alone and go away!

But he caught nothing.

He instantly broke out in a cold sweat and quickly opened his eyes, then heard someone speak in surprise next to him.

"Mr. Lu, you're awake."
