It was night. The Xiao Clan's ship was sailing on the Pacific Ocean.
As the pitter-patter of the rain settled, the sea level was stormy. The ship was in the middle of a vast ocean, looking like a small boat that could be launched at any time.
I might as well make a safe journey.
On the Bat Island, it had finally left Xiao Yi's line of sight and became a speck of memory. No matter how big the gold mine on the island was, Xiao Yi never turned back, he only wanted to return home.
Hugging Xiao Chaoran, they spent who knows how many nights at sea. After staying away from the sea, they quickly registered and returned to SH.
In the Xiao family's old villa, the wind from the beginning of winter was blowing strongly. The entire city was bathed in the warmth of the sun, giving one a comfortable feeling.
However, the Xiao family's villa was covered in a haze.
Because, Xiao Yi had already carried the heavily injured and unconscious Xiao Chaoran back.
The situation on Bat Island had been narrated. Old Gramps Xiao Shuihan's face was terrifyingly gloomy. As he sat on his throne, his white hair was blown up by the wind.
After a long while, Xiao Chaoran looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "This poison, has never been heard of before. Do you know how long transcendence can last? "
These few days, Xiao Yi had been investigating Xiao Chaoran's body. It could be said that he knew Xiao Chaoran's situation like the back of his hand. Immediately, without hiding anything, he opened his mouth and said, "Protecting my heart meridian, my heart is still beating. However, if they were unconscious, their body's functions would gradually age and decline. I don't know how long I can last, but I'm sure I'll find the cure before that. "
Xiao Chaoran heaved a deep sigh. Right now, only Xiao Chaoran was in charge of supporting the overall situation. If Xiao Chaoran fell, then the Xiao Family would have no one to support them. But now, Xiao Chaoran was in a coma, causing the old man Xiao Shuihan's heart to completely turn cold.
"Perhaps, everything is fate."
Xiao Shuihan let out a low sigh before finally standing up. "I'm going in to take a look at Transcendence."
Then, the old tutor's stooped figure walked up the stairs step by step.
After Xiao Shuihan left, the only people left in the hall were Xiao Yi and Ding Yiran.
Right now, of the old man's sons, only Xiao Chaoran was still in the Xiao family. Now, after Xiao Shuihan left the hall, only Xiao Yi and Ding Yiran looked at each other.
Xiao Yi turned his head and looked at her own mother, Ding Yiran. That face looked like condensed jade. After the passage of time, her face was still as delicate as ever. Only the crow's feet at the corner of her eyes betrayed her age.
Putong.
In the hall, Xiao Yi suddenly knelt in front of Ding Yiran in an instant. Then the tears rolled down like a flood.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't take good care of my father." Amidst his choked voice, Xiao Yi said to Ding Yiran in a low voice.
On the island, Xiao Yi had long betrayed his identity by addressing him as father. This time, when Xiao Yi returned, he had intended to marry his. It was just that his father was still unconscious and facing his own mother, Xiao Yi had to kowtow and admit his mistake.
No matter what, that human centipede was still on her neck. If her father hadn't wanted to save him, this wouldn't have happened. Facing her own mother, Xiao Yi felt ashamed from the bottom of her heart.
Ding Yiran sat on the sofa as her entire body shrunk into a ball.
This scene was too cruel to her. The child he had been yearning for so many years had finally appeared in front of him. He was even more outstanding than he imagined. At the same time, her husband was in a coma.
Ding Yiran, whose heart was already numb to Luan City, looked at her own child. Tears were dripping down her face as she murmured, "Stand up and let me have a good look."
These short words were spoken very slowly. His words were filled with the longing of Ding Yiran for so many years.
Xiao Yi obeyed and stood in front of Ding Yiran. His thin figure had a resolute face.
Ding Yiran stood up, stretched out her hand, and gently caressed Xiao Yi's face. She moved slowly, tears streaming down his face. The son she had dreamed of day and night actually had such a face.
Ding Yiran caressed Xiao Yi's face carefully, as if she wanted to remember this face in her mind forever.
"After so many years of wandering outside, I think you must have suffered a lot, child." Ding Yiran's beautiful eyes blurred from tears as she looked at her own son, Xiao Yi, and asked in a low voice.
There were no superfluous greetings, no deep feelings of longing, and no blaming at all. In the great hall, Ding Yiran said this single sentence in an inaudible voice.
This was an extremely ordinary sentence, but Xiao Yi immediately burst into tears.
After so many years, the suffering he had endured was no longer important. After so many years, the resentment in his heart had already dissipated. He had forgotten about the scene of the winter when he was frozen in front of the orphanage.
These words immediately broke all of Xiao Yi's psychological defenses.
"Back then, we were the ones who let you down." Ding Yiran looked at his son who was crying until he was in a mess, and then instantly became strong, saying, "All these years, we have been bitterly searching, but have not been able to find him. Now that you have returned, it's good. "
"But, Dad …" Xiao Yi thought about the still unconscious Xiao Chaoran and felt pain in his heart.
Ding Yiran forced out a smile, and a trace of a smile leaked out of her mouth: "Transcendent naturally has its own destiny. On Bat Island, you did pretty well. I don't blame you. You don't have to blame yourself. Life and death have their destiny. Moreover, isn't there hope for transcendence? "
Hearing his own mother's words, Xiao Yi instantly threw himself into her embrace.
In this most warm embrace, Xiao Yi cried loudly. He had cried out all the grievances and grievances that he had suffered for so many years. Ding Yiran caressed his son Xiao Yi's hair and similarly wailed loudly.
In the hall, mother and son both started crying loudly.
The warm winter sun shone in. The scene was so warm and cozy.
Just that, Xiao Chaoran was lying on the sickbed upstairs, his eyes still closed and his face pale. If Xiao Chaoran was here, then everything would be perfect.
After crying loudly for a while, Xiao Yi came out from Ding Yiran's embrace. Looking at her mother, he said resolutely, "Mom, don't worry. I will go to the Thousand Poison Land in the Hundred Thousand Mountains tomorrow. There must be human centipede there. I believe that I can definitely obtain human centipede and bring it back to treat father. "
Looking at the lost child, he had now become a man who could support himself on his own. Ding Yiran was startled, and then said: "Is it dangerous there?"
"It's not dangerous." Xiao Yi did not hesitate, and shook his head: "It's just that, this time, father will have to be taken care of by mother. Now unconscious, do not let the quack doctor come to cure, but misdiagnosis has caused serious consequences. He only needed to rest at home and transport more nutrition liquid. I believe that I will be able to return very soon. "
When Ding Yiran heard Xiao Yi talk about this matter, her face turned even more serious. She opened her mouth and muttered: "This time, such a big thing happened on the Bat Island. I believe that from what Hongmen has done these years, she will probably make a move on the transcendent. After all, the Xiao family was on the verge of collapse. "If she were to fall, the entire Xiao family would fall."
Ding Yiran was born in the Ding Family, and was also a member of a Wealthy Class. This wasn't something an ordinary woman could see. After staying in the Xiao family for so many years, it could be said that she knew the current situation of the Xiao family like the back of her hand.
and his wife's persecution never stopped. Because the talent that Xiao Chaoran had displayed in the business world had already caused Hongmen to fear him. And now that there was such a rare opportunity, the Hongmen would definitely seize it.
As Xiao Yi thought about this, his face darkened. If he put his father Xiao Chaoran here, he would feel a little uneasy.
"Can the powers of the Hongmen invade here?" Xiao Yi looked at his mother and asked slowly.
Ding Yiran looked at his own son and laughed: "Silly son, you didn't come here because of the influence of the Hongmen. Many times, scheming and scheming were more powerful than bravado. This Xiao family must have a spy from the Hongmen. Do you think we need someone else to take over the family from the outside? "
"A traitor?" Xiao Yi's face surged with a trace of cold air, and coldly said: "It is indeed. The news of the gold mine on Bat Island must have been leaked out by the traitor. This matter should be confidential in the entire Xiao Clan. However, it was still leaked out. It seems like this traitor does not have a low position in the Xiao family. "
Pausing for a moment, Xiao Yi asked: "At that time, how many people knew about the discovery of the gold mine on the Bat Island?"
Ding Yiran pondered for a moment, then said: "The entire Xiao Family's upper echelons know about the discovery of the gold mine. Furthermore, the secret of Transcendence in this matter was indeed unripe. So, if you want to use this matter to find out who the traitor is, it might not be that easy. "
"No matter how difficult it is, I must find out who the traitor is tonight." Xiao Yi clenched his fists tightly and said resolutely.
Tomorrow is the day before they leave for the Hundred Thousand Mountains to search for the human centipede. She had to take care of these matters tonight so that she wouldn't have to worry about the future.
Moreover, once the traitor was gone, the Xiao family would be slowly consumed by these traitors.
It was imperative to get rid of the Xiao family's worms as soon as possible.
Ding Yiran looked at his son's sonorous and forceful tone, and a gratified smile appeared on his face. "So many years have passed, you have already grown up!"
Xiao Yi was slightly stunned. He looked at his mother and said with a little sigh, "It's just that I've experienced quite a bit these past few years."
"By the way, when your father recovers, tell us about your years of illness." After pausing for a moment, Ding Yiran said in a low voice: "Go and see your grandfather. Don't blame him for what happened that year. "
Xiao Yi nodded and headed upstairs.
When Xiao Yi's figure disappeared from his sight, she started to bawl once again. He had been acting tough in front of his son.
However, after all, the man that he had been coexisting with for so many years was now on the verge of death. The man he loved the most in his life was already on the verge of death.
