Leon Hua and I talked a long time, and we couldn’t sleep.
It was almost early in the morning when my phone rang again. The phone rang in the quiet early morning was particularly scary. It was Ying Hua.
Leon didn’t fall asleep either, and immediately got up. When I answered the phone, I heard Ying’s cry. “Can you find Leon and let him come back, my Big brother is gone…”
I thought it was hearing wrong. I thought Ying said Xiang Feng was gone. I asked again, “Sister Ying, who did you say is gone?”
“My Big brother Chenxing Hua is gone. Mu Chen heard the news that the police suspected that he killed Xiang Feng. He was pulled in and interrogate for a very long time. after he came out, he was in a car accident on the street. He was sent to the hospital for rescue, but it was too late…”
Ying choked with sobs, and despair and pain began to appeared on Leon’s face.
His expression frightened me, I reached out to hold his hand, his palm was cold. He didn’t say a word, just leaning weakly on the back of the bed.
“Nala, can you find Leon? You must tell him the news and ask him to come back as soon as possible to handle the funeral for his Big brother. Now there is really no one in Hua family…”
“Don’t worry, Sister Ying, Leon is next to me.” I motioned to Leon to speak out.
But Leon didn’t say a word. His expression was numb with a dull look in his eyes.
“Sister Ying, Leon’s eye disease recurs. He is undergoing therapy. It may take a few days to come back. I’ll come back tomorrow morning and we deal with those things together?”
“How could the Hua family become like this…” Ying couldn’t stop crying at all.
“Sister Ying, calm down, I’m sorry for you loss.” I comforted softly. While persuading Ying on the phone, I had to observe Leon’s expression.
He should be in deep grief, but he was a strong man inside, he had not collapsed, but tried to calm down himself.
“Sister Ying, let’s stop here. Leon is very sad and can’t speak. I will come back tomorrow morning. You must be strong.” I said to Ying.
“Okay, take care of Leon…”
After hanging up Ying’s call, I stretched out my hand to touch Leon’s face, “Fourth Brother, you have to keep your head. At this time, you can’t fall.”
“Nala, I’m so sad. Dad is unconscious, and my Big brother and Aunt Xiang are gone. What should I do?”
Leon finally opened his mouth, and I was relieved. I was really worried that he kept holding back, and then vomited blood out.
“You are now the mainstay of the Hua family, so you must be holding on. If you break down, Hua family will really be over.”
“Who is going to bring down the Hua family, who is so cruel to killed two people in a row. Who is planning all this, I must find him out and avenge my Big brother.”
I put my arms around his neck and tried my best to warm him with my body temperature. He was now like a hurt child.
“In short, you must be strong at this time and you must not be broken. You are now the only hope of the Hua family. If you break down, then the Hua family really has no hope.”
I keep repeating similar words, just hoping Leon can understand that it was not the time for sadness, only by cheering up can we survive this most difficult juncture.
Of course Leon was not an ordinary person. After he was sad for a while, he slowly calmed down.
“You call Mu Chen and ask him to protect sister’s safety. Then call Jiannan Lyu and ask him to pick you up in Yang City tomorrow. You and him go back to Hai City first to take care of things about Aunt Xiang and Big brother. Regardless of the police’s conclusions, you don’t handle funeral arrangements until I go back. These few days you have to be responsible for the group’s affairs and the projects in progress. Keep doing them, don’t stop.”
“Let Jiannan Lyu come to pick me up? Do you want him to protect me?” I asked Leon.
“Yes. Although he is not a good guy, but you saved his life. He has always had special feeling for you. I didn’t want you to approach him, but now this is the only way. He is notorious, and many people do not dare to provoke him. He are also cruel. If he protects you, you’ll be safe in Hai City.”
“Then Xuanlong Jiang stay in Yang City to protect you?”
Leon nodded, “Yes, but we won’t stay in Yang City, I also go back to Hai City. We will go back secretly.”
“Huh? But now Hai City is not safe, and you can’t see. It’s not safe you go.”
“It’s okay. Xuanlong go with me. After you return to Hai City, you directly announce to the public that I am blind, so you are temporarily acting on behalf of me to handle the affairs of the group. Don’t tell them what time I’ll be fine.”
“But in this way, would investors be less confident?” I was very worried.
“Now Hua’s situation has been so bad. It can’t be saved in a short time. Xuanlong and I go back in secret. On the one hand, we could stay there to wait for my eyes to recover, on the other hand , I can investigate some things secretly. You only need to announce that I am blind, and the people behind will not care about a blind man. So I will be safe instead.”
Leon’s arrangement sounded good, it was a bit like feigning action in one place and make the real move in another.
So I called Mu, and Mu let us don’t worry, he would send someone to guard Ying on 24 hours a day.
I called Jiannan again, but he did not answer the phone. It was early morning, and he should be asleep. He usually loved to drink so much, if he was drunk, it was not easy to wake up.
“You will have a lot of things tomorrow. You have to take a break first.” Leon said to me.
I also knew my mental state would definitely be very bad tomorrow after staying up too late. So I really need a break.
But it was really hard to sleep after experiencing so many terrible things. I had to compel myself to close eyes.
When it was about to dawn, I called Jiannan Lyu again, this time he finally answered the phone. He Just looked sleepy.
I told him about the current situation, and he woke up immediately. “So many people dead in Hua family? Leon is OK?”
I said Leon was OK, and his eyes would recover soon. So before he recovered, I hope him to protect me.
This time he agreed very readily, saying that there was no problem. He promised he would be fully responsible for my safety, and let me free from harm.
