Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Ming Ke had just finished speaking when behind him...
As soon as Ming Ke finished speaking, several burly men in black suits came up from behind him. The one standing in the front looked younger and nodded at Fang Shimian. Although they had a reserved temperament, they looked like tough guys who were not easy to mess with.
Fang Shimian thought of the bodyguard who arrested him in Building 6 of Yunjin that day, and subconsciously shrank back a little.
Huo Jun raised his eyebrows, thinking that the old fox Huo Zhongshan could not wait even a moment. He ignored Zhu Ze and kept a close watch on his younger brother.
He looked at Ming Ke, snorted coldly with a half-smile, folded his arms, crossed his long legs casually, and leaned to the side to watch the fire from the other side.
Ming Ke noticed Fang Shimian's uneasiness and immediately asked those people to step back. He looked at Fang Shimian very gently and said, "Mr. Huo wants to see you. These people will not cause you any harm. Please rest assured, Mr. Fang, I will go with you."
Fang Shimian looked down at the half-eaten jelly in his hand and pinched the edge nervously, "Is Mr. Huo in good health now?"
This issue is actually quite sensitive. After all, the attack on Huo Zhongshan caused such a big stir that online public opinion could be suppressed, but the top management of Hengshi and the powerful relatives of the Huo family could not hide it.
Just look at the fact that Huo Zhongshan's father, Huo Bo, had clearly begun to delegate power and suddenly returned from the capital to take charge. He dealt with several emerging side branches with swift and decisive actions and suppressed them with iron-blooded tactics. This is enough to see the undercurrents surging beneath the calm.
Many people have asked this question during this period, but most of them have not received an answer. Fang Shimian is special, and he should be one of the very few who can get the real answer. However, Ming Ke still said tactfully: "Mr. Fang, you will know if you go and see it, right?"
Fang Shimian lowered his head, his thumb gently pinching the soft flesh of his curled index finger, his expression a little anxious.
"I won't go to see it..."
Knowing that the person is alive is enough. Fang Shimian saved him to feel at ease and did not think about what would happen afterwards. Strange people and things made him feel uncomfortable and even more uneasy.
Not going?
Huo Jun was surprised, thinking that this kid was so stupid that he didn't even take such a good opportunity to win the honor. However, he didn't show it on his face and said to Ming Ke with a smile, "Mr. Fang doesn't want to go. He may like to stay with me. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I, as your younger brother, will help convey it."
If it was anyone else, Huo Zhongshan would invite them respectfully if they were willing, or tie them up if they were unwilling. But this person could not be taken away by force... This mission was difficult.
The young man in black standing behind Ming Ke heard this and took a half step forward. He bowed slightly to Fang Shimian with a smile on his face, "I wonder if Mr. Fang has any impression of me. We have met before."
The young man had regular features and looked exceptionally kind among his colleagues in black.
Fang Shimian raised his head and took a quick look. He had no impression of him, but he had only met this kind of person once, so the answer was obvious. So he whispered, "The time when I went to Building 6 to deliver something?"
The man smiled even more deeply, and simply walked directly to Fang Shimian, "They were too rude last time, and frightened Mr. Fang. I'm afraid he has become wary of us. It's useless for me to apologize for what happened last time. But Mr. Huo has been very concerned about Mr. Fang's safety during this period, and has always wanted to meet him in person to express his gratitude. If Mr. Fang doesn't like us, we will never appear in front of you again."
"Mr. Fang is kind-hearted. Just treat this as a chance for us to make amends for our crimes. I have already taught those people a lesson. They have never integrated into society. They only know how to follow orders and cannot get along with others. Next time, I will definitely bring them to apologize to you."
"No……"
After this conversation, what else did Fang Shimian have to say? He looked at the young man in front of him and felt that he should be not much different in age from him, so he said: "It's not that I don't like him, you just follow orders, I also have a boss... I understand everything."
Hearing this, the smile in the young man's eyes became more real.
In a way, Fang Shimian saved Huo Zhongshan and also saved them. Although it was not their group that went out on the field that day, as bodyguards hired by the Huo family, they could not even guarantee the safety of their employer. Even if the Huo family did not cause trouble for them, their desire to make a name for themselves in this industry in the future would be completely extinguished.
"Mr. Fang is very considerate. We are really grateful."
What a good trick to appeal to people’s emotions and reason!
Huo Jun was amazed and looked again at the people sent by his second brother. It was the first time he knew that among the pile of wood that was Huo Zhongshan, there was actually a smart and eloquent person hidden.
"Does the Third Young Master want to join us?" the young man asked respectfully.
Together at this time? He would be looking for death.
Even if Huo Jun was tactless, he would not have upset his second brother at this time. He stood up and sat back in his office chair, picked up the pile of documents, and waved his hand impatiently, "Go away."
Ming Ke glanced back and saw the people in the corridor who had heard the news went down quietly to notify the driver and remote security to take their positions.
He got back into the Huo family's car and when he passed the Hengshi Building on the ground, Fang Shimian suddenly realized its grandeur.
The towering buildings occupying the center of the city were like sharp blades piercing the sky. He remembered that when he looked down at the ground from that office, the whole prosperous city was in sight, as if it could also become a plaything in his hands.
Human life is nothing but a speck of dust in front of this behemoth.
Fang Shimian thought, he was now on good terms with the Huo family because of that accident, but his dull and stupid character could easily offend people, and if he made a mistake in the future he wouldn't even have the basic ability to protect himself.
At this moment, the desire to escape quickly prevailed again, and the meeting with Huo Zhongshan made Fang Shimian even more anxious.
The vehicle stopped in the basement of Anhe. Ming Ke took Fang Shimian around a beautiful garden. The young man in black and a few others walked far behind. The group walked through the corridor and entered a small building with exquisite and classical shape. After passing two security checks, all electronic equipment was confiscated.
There is an elevator on the right side of the lobby on the first floor. The bodyguard guarding there checked with the young man in black before swiping the swipe key to open the elevator. When they reached the third floor, several people walked out. There were bodyguards patrolling on the side. The small building was extremely quiet, and the only sound was the occasional bird calls outside.
The medical staff passing by in the corridor were also silent.
Fang Shimian had been thinking of some things to say on the way here, but he was so frightened by the tight security here that his breathing became quieter and he dared not look around. He could only follow Ming Ke closely, fearing that he would lose him if he was not careful.
The young man in black took the man to one of the wards in the corridor, stood up straight, knocked on the door regularly, and whispered, "Mr. Huo, Mr. Fang is here."
There were several men in suits standing outside the ward, as if they were waiting for something.
After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and Fang Shimian saw a woman in formal attire and capable temperament coming out with a folder in her hand. When she saw Fang Shimian, she nodded and smiled, "Mr. Fang, please come in."
After saying that, he quickly left with the few people waiting outside the corridor.
Ming Ke and the young man in black also looked at each other, and each took their men and retreated at the appropriate time.
The door was closed gently, making a slight sound.
At first glance, it was not a ward, but a small reception room beautifully decorated with sofas, tea sets and other items. The door on the right was casually open, and a corner of the bed could be vaguely seen.
Fang Shimian saw the documents piled on the sofa and felt it was not appropriate to stay there alone for long, so he walked lightly into the room.
The room is very spacious.
The tall man sitting on the hospital bed was looking down, reviewing the report sent by his subordinates in the mailbox.
His face was calm, and the cold light from the electronic products made him look even more unapproachable. He seemed dissatisfied with the contents of the document. His handsome and sharp features looked particularly cold when he had no expression, giving off a strong sense of oppression.
It looks like he's about to cut someone.
He doesn't look like a patient at all. The powerful arms exposed under the hospital gown look like they could punch him back to the basement.
He looked very healthy, completely different from how he looked when he was dying. Fang Shimian couldn't help but let his random thoughts distract him.
Fang Shimian heard his own heartbeat becoming very loud in the silent space. He carefully walked into Huo Zhongshan's field of vision and stopped at the farthest point in a straight line.
The words that were originally filling his head seemed to have been forcibly refreshed, leaving only the fear brought to him by his biological instinct.
Huo Zhongshan put the things in his hand aside, and his dark eyes shifted their gaze to Fang Shimian who was standing in the corner.
The chilling aura that lingered just now dissipated in the softening smile in the man's eyes.
"Come and sit down."
The man's tone was slow, but it carried an irresistible sense of oppression, the aura that emanated from a person who had long been in a superior position.
For some reason, when Fang Shimian approached Huo Zhongshan, some details that should have been quickly forgotten suddenly popped into his mind.
The dark carriage, the suffocating smoke, the spreading scorching heat wave, the desperate collapse and even the thought of giving up, he said those words under the shadow of death.
"Stop crying."
These three words indeed brought back some memories for him.
Fang Shimian sat down next to Huo Zhongshan's bed and saw his old cotton-padded jacket placed next to the bed. It was neatly folded and there was no blood stain on it.
It's still there and hasn't been thrown away casually.
All the chaotic emotions in his heart suddenly disappeared, and for the first time, he felt so clearly that the person who had experienced that life-and-death disaster with him was still alive.
He lowered his head, not looking into Huo Zhongshan's eyes, and somehow whispered something that had been in his mind for a long time.
"From now on... don't go racing."
"Speeding?" The man raised his eyes, his eyes beneath his high brows were unusually deep.
The slightly raised tone of voice revealed an intriguing smile in laziness.
