Chapter 43 The broken sobs that had been suppressed for a long time finally could not be held back any longer
Darkness, endless darkness.
It's like going back to that time when there was no sunlight.
In the dream, the tide of memories rushed back fiercely.
That year, Feng Mingzhou was in a car accident, suffering severe head trauma and serious damage to his optic nerve, and his chances of recovery were extremely low.
After the diagnosis came out, the Lin family sent Lin Jinyun to study abroad on the surface, but their real intention was to cut off the connection between the two.
The Lin family would not allow their beloved daughter to marry a blind man.
At the same time, undercurrents were surging within the Feng family.
Stepmother Lu Wenyin took the opportunity to support the second young master of the Feng family to take over the family business.
The child of destiny who was once the center of attention has now become an outcast of a wealthy family.
Only Gu Manman still appeared in the ward every day.
She quit her promising job and became his eyes, his hands and feet.
She accompanied him in rehabilitation training, teaching him again and again how to use a blind stick to find the way and how to grope for life in the dark.
Feng Mingzhou became irritable and throwing things was a common occurrence. She just followed him and cleaned up the mess silently.
He was troubled by nightmares at night and woke up in a cold sweat, so she stayed up all night to comfort him.
Those three years seemed so long that there was no end.
Gu Manman accompanied him, pulling him out of the abyss of despair little by little, allowing him to adapt to the darkness and the world without light again.
She became the only warmth and light he could feel in his dark world.
Until the internationally renowned ophthalmologist brought hope, the operation was successful.
When the news of Feng Mingzhou's recovery of sight came out, his stepmother Lu Wenyin cried in front of the camera at a charity dinner, saying that this was the miracle she had prayed for day and night.
The first thing Feng Mingzhou did after taking off the gauze was to retrieve all the cash flows of the past three years, comparing them one by one, from the abnormal expenditures at the Hainan resort to the offshore transfers to the Swiss account.
Feng Mingzhou's return was like a carefully planned hunt.
He first returned to the board of directors through the old directors, and then used thundering means to successively replace five core department heads, all of whom were fence-sitters who had defected to Lu Wenyin's camp that year.
Those people were cleared out of the office by security guards overnight, and the office was empty the next morning.
At the group's annual meeting, Feng Mingzhou's three-hour non-stop speech shocked the entire audience.
He dissected in detail every wrong decision the group had made over the past three years.
When executives from Lu Wenyin's faction tried to refute, he immediately produced a series of hard evidence - transaction records, contract loopholes, and capital flows.
Feng Mingzhou stood on the stage, scanning everyone with cold eyes, and the entire conference hall fell silent.
Half a year later, Lu Wenyin resigned from all positions due to health reasons.
The former favorite of heaven finally returned to the throne.
Behind the reconstruction of hegemony are calculations and endurance that no one knows about.
Feng’s stock price doubled in just one year.
In the photo published on the front page of the Financial Times, he was chatting and laughing with investment bankers with a glass of champagne.
No one knew that this man was planning a bigger game.
Marriage is just a means, and stock price is just a bargaining chip.
What he wanted was never just the power of the Feng Group.
What happened later was a natural progression.
He needed a springboard, and the Lin family's door was open to him.
That marriage was a carefully calculated deal from the very beginning. Every smile and every promise was a stepping stone to the goal.
The core of power of the Lin Group was eroded step by step by him.
But Lin Zhenmin ultimately did not leave the hospital alive.
As for Lu Wenyin, she was the woman who colluded with the Lin family and killed his mother.
He let her live and watch clearly how he took back everything that belonged to his mother and how he crushed everything she once relied on one by one.
My mother's revenge has been taken.
In the most thorough and cold-blooded way.
He regained all that he had lost and more.
He stood at the pinnacle of power, looking down at everything below him.
The scene suddenly changed.
Dazzling white.
It was the beach on the private island, as soft as powdered sugar, glowing with warm golden light under the setting sun.
A huge white flower arch stands not far away, with countless gardenias entwined around it, holy and beautiful.
The road to the sea was covered with thick petals, and the air was filled with her favorite scent.
He was wearing the white shirt she liked, with the sleeves casually rolled up, and his bare feet stepped on the soft petals.
The sea breeze is gentle and the waves are whispering.
He saw himself reaching out his hand to hold the empty seat next to him.
“Manman…”
He heard his own voice calling out, with suppressed trembling and anticipation.
No response.
Only the sea breeze blows through the empty fingertips.
He stubbornly maintained the hand-holding posture and walked towards the flower arch step by step.
The light of the sunset is so beautiful, so unreal.
But where is the bride in her wedding dress who should be standing next to him?
He turned, faced the sea, and waited.
The setting sun sank little by little, and the light changed from warm gold to sad orange, and finally to blood red.
Both the sky and the sea turned an ominous dark red.
The sound of the waves was no longer gentle, but became louder and more urgent.
He looked around frantically, trying to find the figure.
"Manman! Where are you?!"
The petals underfoot began to rot, turning into dirty black mud, emitting a suffocating stench.
The flower arch also began to wither and collapse.
The world was spinning.
The next second, he fell into the freezing cold sea water.
Huge water pressure rushed in from all directions and poured into his mouth and nose.
He tried to struggle desperately, but his hands and feet seemed to be tied by invisible chains and he could not move.
He saw her.
Just below him not far away.
Wearing that white cotton dress, her eyes were tightly closed and her long hair was spread out in the water.
Her body was slowly sinking, going down, into a deeper, darker place...
"No--!"
He wanted to shout, but no sound came out. Only the cold sea water rushed in madly.
He wanted to reach out and grab her, but the distance between them was so close, yet so far away as if there was a gap between life and death.
I watched her sink deeper and deeper until she was completely swallowed by the darkness.
The feeling of suffocation became more and more intense.
“Manman!”
Feng Mingzhou suddenly sat up from the bed, his chest heaving violently, gasping for breath, his forehead and back covered in cold sweat.
My heart was beating wildly in my chest.
He subconsciously reached out and touched the seat next to him.
Cold.
Empty.
There was only the pajamas in my hand, which was equally cold and had lost all its smell.
Outside the window, the night is as thick as ink.
There was no light on in the room, and the huge bedroom was empty and silent.
The suffocating coldness and despair from before still lingered in every part of his body.
He hugged the pajamas, curled up his body, buried his face deeply in his knees, and his shoulders shook violently uncontrollably.
The broken sobs that had been suppressed for a long time could no longer be held back and overflowed from the deepest part of the throat, sounding particularly clear in the silent night.
