Chapter 96 Chapter 96 Send Me to the Clouds
Song Qingyun was dreaming again.
Over the years, her dreams have been repetitive. She dreamed of sneaking out to play with Xin Tong, answering questions in class that made the whole class burst into laughter, and seeing her brother in his school uniform.
Her brother is two years older than her.
Dad is busy with work, so we rarely see each other. My brother looks like a brother, and also like Dad.
She grew up looking at her brother's back.
He was very tall and waited for her at the classroom door every day after school. He took her schoolbag and listened to her talk about all sorts of things.
She said she ranked last in the exam again, and she and Xin Tong ate potato chips in class. As a result, the teacher punished her by making her copy the manuscript a thousand times, and her hands were shaking.
He didn't feel unhappy when he said it. He had finished copying it and was quite proud to say that he copied faster than Xin Tong.
The next second, her hand was being taken. Boys grow very fast during puberty, their height suddenly increasing, and their hands also becoming larger, with a thin layer of calluses on them. He gently massaged her knuckles and fingertips. When he was done, they intertwined their fingers, holding hers completely.
Arrived home. The house was large, but empty; Dad was never around. Song Qingyun didn't like it very much; he always felt that big houses were haunted.
But I have a brother.
Her brother will always be by her side.
"Look at the questions." He tapped the book with his pen. The boy's voice had changed. He was tall and thin, with long and thin knuckles.
Song Qingyun wrote a "solution" and nothing else.
She was gently tapped on the forehead, "Stupid." She smelled the scent of laundry detergent from his school uniform, the same scent for both of them.
He was explaining the problem to her, but she was already daydreaming. She suddenly said, "Brother, I saw our Chinese class representative give you a love letter today."
Song Tingfeng paused, looked up at her, expressionless.
"How do you know it's a love letter?"
"It's pink, with a bow on it. It looks like a love letter."
Song Qingyun wasn't shocked at all. Song Tingfeng was famous in school; he was so outstanding. She thought of the boys her age, jumping around like monkeys, screaming loudly, and smelling bad. But Song Tingfeng, always clean, upright, and with excellent grades.
Moreover, he doesn't like to talk to others.
Perfect and cool.
Simply invincible.
Satisfy all the fantasies of adolescent girls.
"I didn't take it at all." - The fantasy was instantly shattered by the ruthless voice, and Song Qingyun could only come back to his senses from his imagination.
Suddenly, there was another knock on the head.
This time it was much heavier.
"Ouch!" Song Qingyun covered his head, "It hurts!"
"Stupid." My brother's face suddenly turned cold. He said stupid again.
"I'm not stupid..." Song Qingyun pouted and retorted cowardly, feeling a little aggrieved.
The next second, she was picked up and sat on his lap. She'd been doing this since she was little, but now it felt a little uncomfortable—the boy's firm big cock pressed against her, and she felt his hot chest.
Song Qingyun suddenly struggled. She seemed to realize that she had grown up, and her face turned red for no apparent reason.
"Don't move."
But then a warm hand covered his head, gently rubbing the place where he had just been hit. Song Qingyun's face became redder and redder, and he was held in his arms and lay down.
She didn't struggle anymore. Dependence on him had become instinctive, a habit, ingrained in her bones.
"Brother, I'm actually not stupid at all." She said in a muffled voice.
"Yeah." She heard his nonchalant response.
…
Song Qingyun opened his eyes.
She lay in the arms of 24-year-old Song Tingfeng.
His appearance remained unchanged, but his aura had grown colder, a lingering gloom hanging over him. On the desk sat a computer, he was typing, and she huddled in his arms.
The same posture as the last one in the dream.
Memories faded, reality set in. A chill suddenly washed over me.
"Cold?" He felt the person in his arms shiver and covered her with a blanket. He had been controlling her more and more recently, almost never leaving her side. Song Qingyun didn't know what he had noticed, or perhaps it was just a hunch because he knew her too well.
"You recently went to see Xin Tong," he said suddenly. It wasn't a question, it was a statement.
Song Qingyun didn't hide this. Going out to play was not a secret. Maintaining normal communication with friends would not arouse suspicion. She nodded and said nothing.
Today is the last day. There are less than 12 hours left until boarding.
She was only one step away from victory.
"Don't go there anymore."
"Don't meet her again."
Song Qingyun was stunned, "Why?"
Song Tingfeng looked at her with indifference in his eyes, as if he was talking about an insignificant person. "He Chuan's successor must be He Tianqi. Xin Tong is a loser in the fight for the family property. There is no need to associate with her."
"Why did she fail? She clearly fulfilled the promise she made a year ago." The whole city knew about this matter. Now many people changed their attitude and rushed to curry favor with Xin Tong. Song Qingyun didn't understand.
Song Tingfeng laughed.
"Let her stay alive first."
His smile was a bit cruel. Song Qingyun was stunned for a few seconds, looking at his face, and suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.
But when she wanted to ask something else, Song Tingfeng suddenly looked into her eyes and asked, "Are you paying attention to her affairs?"
"I've told you a long time ago to have less contact with her. She's too opinionated and crazy, and she'll lead you astray."
He tapped my wrist and rubbed it slowly, his low voice falling into my ears.
"Don't challenge me, Xiaoyun. But you always disobey."
"These past few days, I've been thinking about one thing. For so many years, you've been rejecting me, always afraid, hiding from me, and carefully concealing our relationship. It's all because of your identities and the outside world. If that's the case, why don't we just switch identities?"
There was calmness in Song Tingfeng's eyes and a smile on his lips.
"Fake a death scene and announce that Miss Song Qingyun of the Song family died unexpectedly. From now on, there will be no such person as Song Qingyun in this world."
"You don't have to change anything, just change your name and stay home. Don't show your face, don't go out. Even if others see you, they will only think you are your brother's partner."
"This way, we won't have to hide everywhere anymore and can be together forever."
...Song Qingyun felt like he was falling off a cliff.
All the blood in his body froze and his face turned pale instantly.
She looked at the man in front of her and suddenly felt an unprecedented fear.
His appearance hadn't changed at all from a few years ago. A chill ran down his spine, surging all the way to the back of his head. All the memories before him were shattered, and sand and rocks flew everywhere, pounced on Song Qingyun with a sly grin.
She ran forward as if escaping.
Possession, deprivation, control, love, family, companionship, flowers, decay.
She immersed her entire face in the ice-cold water until she had difficulty breathing. The chaotic branches in her mind were cut off at the root on the verge of suffocation. In the end, there were only two words left in the world: "Forbidden. Carnivore".
Song Qingyun almost ran away and went to a villa in the suburbs without stopping.
That's where her father Song Kaiquan lives.
…
Many years ago, Song Kaiquan's wife died of an illness. His company was on the rise at the time, and he had no interest in remarrying. However, he wanted children, so he adopted a boy and a girl.
The process of selecting children also went through some twists and turns and screening. The two people finally found came from two different welfare homes and did not know each other. The boy was smart and the girl was cute. Song Kaiquan was very satisfied.
He named the two children. He didn't spend much time raising them. This class of people basically relied on nannies for childcare. Song Kaiquan spent his free time playing with the children and lived a comfortable life.
But he soon discovered that the two children seemed to have very different personalities.
The older brother was two years older, very mature, quiet, and difficult to read. Because he already had memories of being adopted, he knew early on that he and his sister were adopted, and that there was no blood relationship between the three of them: father, son, and daughter.
But my sister doesn't know.
Song Kaiquan didn't plan to tell anyone. He raised the child as his own, so he asked Song Tingfeng not to tell his sister.
This unrelated family was formed just like that. Song Kaiquan was busy with his business, and his son and daughter grew up day by day. Except for the nanny, the brother and sister stayed together almost all day long, eating, going to school, playing, doing everything, and they were so close that they were inseparable.
Song Kaiquan knew very well that during the years when they grew up together, Song Tingfeng, who was two years older and more mature, had assumed the role of brother and father countless times.
Song Qingyun is very dependent on him, and he can't live without Song Qingyun.
The brother-sister relationship is good. That's a good thing.
…
Song Tingfeng was Song Kaiquan's chosen successor long ago. Therefore, all subsequent power transfers were logical. After retiring, Song Kaiquan's health deteriorated, so he simply moved to a quiet suburban area, where he cultivated flowers and plants, ignoring all other matters and enjoying his retirement.
Xiao Song is in charge of all matters at the company and at home.
Song Qingyun had never been so anxious before. She felt that she was in a desperate situation and the only person who could save her was her father.
She grabbed her father's hand and said she had known for a long time that the three of them were not related by blood. This was what her brother told her when she was 18 years old.
As she recounted her experiences, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She cursed herself for being such a loser, but confessing to her father about the incestuous relationship between her siblings, shame and embarrassment gripped her like vines. She didn't want to care about anything anymore, she just wanted help.
Will my father scold me?
Will you get sick because of the scandal between them?
I'm sorry, Dad. Please scold me. Please save me, I am your daughter.
Unexpectedly, Song Kaiquan didn't say anything after hearing what she said.
There was no surprise or anger in his eyes.
Instead, it was a very strange emotion. Song Qingyun slowly understood the surrounding silence as it lasted for a long time: it was a mixture of entanglement, hesitation, and a touch of guilt.
Dad was silent for a long time.
Finally, he said, "Forget it, Xiaoyun. Don't disobey your brother."
Song Qingyun felt like she had fallen into the bottom of an icy lake. She finally understood: Dad knew, he knew, he knew everything.
How could he not know? He was so sharp in business, he saw clearly what was going on between the two kids. How could he not see it? How could he not know?
For so many years, he just watched everything happen and fell into the most painful direction.
because--
"Dad only has this one son."
"Do you think Dad can do anything? He ages so quickly. My health is getting worse and worse. Falling leaves tell the autumn season. Anyone can see the shift and tilt of power. I've known for a long time that the Song family depends on him."
"He wants you to be with him... just agree. It's not bad, actually. You'll still have enough to eat and drink, and he'll support you forever. Isn't that good? It's just a change of name and identity. Wasn't it me who gave you your name when I adopted you? It's just a shell, don't take it too seriously."
This is the final blow.
Song Qingyun finally despaired.
She suddenly realized that the weak will always remain weak and will gradually perish in the sweet words.
Song Qingyun turned and left.
Looking up, I saw that the sun was shining brightly, with a halo around it. There was a huge and old tree in the yard of the villa.
A white bird flew over the branches, then flapped its wings and flew into the blue sky with the wind.
——"A good wind will help me soar to the sky."
Song Qingyun murmured.
This is the name Song Kaiquan gave to the brother and sister.
On the phone screen was a screenshot of a flight order to the other side of the world, part of a carefully crafted secret plan.
If you can go to a distant and unfamiliar place and start from scratch, then why can't you stay and take back everything you deserve?
As long as you defeat him, you will never have to worry about your whereabouts being exposed, being found by him, or your plans failing.
As long as you defeat him, everything here will be yours.
Don't be patient, don't give in, don't run away.
Going to fight.
Song Qingyun sat on the grass in the suburbs. The sun set, night fell, and a plane flew across the sky—heading to the other side of the world, and also to the end point of her escape plan.
Song Qingyun stared at the distant horizon and watched the plane fly away.
She stood up, covered in moonlight. Suddenly, her phone vibrated twice, and she received a WeChat friend notification.
The other party said, I am Jiang Chongyan.
*
Hide your tracks, come quietly, and don't let anyone see you. Song Qingyun followed Jiang Chongyan's instructions very well, her hands shaking as she walked. She had a feeling that something might have happened to Xin Tong.
After the meeting, the man handed her a hospital report on a patient named "Xin Tong".
Song Qingyun was stunned when he saw the word above.
"ZB-7 type of substance."
Song Qingyun's pupils trembled.
Even though she was a complete novice, she had been exposed to the family business of biopharmaceutical industry since she was a child, which made her understand what it was.
This type of drug is commonly used in medicine to treat ADHD, narcolepsy and obesity, and is listed as the country's first-class psychotropic drugs.
In shady markets, some market these drugs as "smart drugs," claiming they can improve concentration. Many inexperienced students purchase and take them before exams, making them vulnerable to drug abuse and addiction. Every year, the government and the media repeatedly warn students and parents to avoid these scams, lest they suffer from bitter regret.
…
At this moment, Jiang Chongyan's low voice sounded above his head.
"She collapsed. She's been experiencing a series of symptoms that haven't been right for a while now."
"After the report came out, we found no traces of injection on her body, so the doctor concluded that it was most likely taken."
Yes. Yes. Song Qingyun thought of Xin Tong's trembling muscles, her hair that fell out at the slightest touch, her jaw grinding unconsciously, and her dwindling appetite.
"impossible."
Song Qingyun was horrified and immediately shook her head. She knew Xin Tong too well. Even if Xin Tong was into sleight of hand, she would never touch such things. She cherished life, loved life, and wished she could live forever.
If Xin Tong hadn't taken it on her own initiative, there would only be one possibility.
——She was drugged.
"Yeah. I don't think that's possible either."
"So he must have been murdered."
"Anyone around her who could have done something like this, who could have kept her from discovering it, who had a reason to put drugs in her diet for a long time, would have the best reason and motivation to do this."
Jiang Chongyan's eyes were colder than ice.
"I can only think of one person."
Song Qingyun's mind buzzed. The two looked at each other, knowing what the other was thinking.
She was trembling all over, filled with fear, and tried to hold on. "But, but. There is one most important question."
"Where did he get this medicine from?"
There are many types of drug abuse and addiction, the most common ones are morphine, fentanyl, diazepam, etc. Most of them are sedatives, hypnotics or cough suppressants. You must strictly follow the doctor's instructions when taking them. Once you go against the doctor's instructions and use them excessively, there is a risk of drug addiction.
If it is a medicine of this level, it is possible for him to obtain it.
but……
Song Qingyun looked at the text on the report carefully again.
It is a new type of ZB-7 substance that cannot be determined, an unknown drug.
She didn't recognize it, so she couldn't tell where it came from. It must be a new drug from abroad.
Song Qingyun recalled Xin Tong's condition. Apart from those minor symptoms, everything else was normal. Therefore, she guessed that while this drug might be addictive, the symptoms and harm would be much milder.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
However, no matter what the degree, this is definitely a banned drug in the country, and there are not many companies in the entire Wucheng that are qualified to possess, use and sell it.
If we say that Wucheng is the most likely to have such a channel in this industry...
It could only be the Song family.
But Song Qingyun knew that Song Kaiquan had always disagreed with touching on such things.
Although he could apply for legal operation and accept supervision, Song Kaiquan still refused to touch it. Even if it were legal, competitors might find it wrong and frame him, so he would rather do something else.
Song Qingyun slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Chongyan.
She understood why Jiang Chongyan wanted to see her.
It's not just because she is Xin Tong's best, most trustworthy friend who would least betray her at this moment.
And more importantly, does this medicine come from the Song family?
Is Song Tingfeng related to the most suspicious He Tianqi?
…
"She fainted last night. He Chuan and He Tianqi are not in Wucheng. Now the only ones who know about this are you and me."
"Although my physical condition has stabilized and the addiction is not serious, I still need long-term treatment and withdrawal."
"But last night, He Chuan told her that he was going to take Kelly back and give her to He Tianqi, so that she could be engaged to Fu Zirui. If they knew her current situation, not only would Kelly be taken away while she was ill, but she would also be falsely accused of taking drugs, her reputation would be ruined, and she would be completely eliminated from the race for the heir."
Song Qingyun trembled unconsciously. She was so scared. This was a hundred times more terrifying than any horror movie she had ever seen. She had never seen anything like this in her life. She couldn't imagine it.
Her legs were already shaking, and she held onto the wall. Her cold fingers groped around and touched the little rabbit jade pendant hanging around her neck.
Warm, cool, lustrous jade.
You can. Xin Tong said it. If she says you can, then you can. Don't be afraid.
Just before her legs gave out, Song Qingyun heard someone calling her name. Her face pale as she looked up, her eyes meeting Jiang Chongyan's.
"The most important thing now is to get her back to health, and to keep Kelly in our hands while she recovers."
This man, who had only met her twice, stood before her, looking straight at her, his sharp face hidden in the wind.
"She believes in you and she believes in me."
The two looked at each other. It was a silent, unexplained glance, a moment in which partners and friends consciously and heavily entered into a partnership, an alliance for the one and only person whose lives had intersected.
Jiang Chongyan turned and left.
Song Qingyun looked at his back and walked in the opposite direction.
