Chapter 208 How long have you been with me?
Ling Zhen was standing on the balcony. It was already the end of September, and the summer heat in the south had not yet subsided. Now, perhaps because she was particularly weak, she had to wear a woolen scarf on her shoulders.
The balcony of Building No. 2 just overlooks the bedroom of Building No. 1.
She counted one by one with her fingertips, from left to right, from right to left, and recalled the location of his bedroom in her mind.
In fact, she already knew the location of his bedroom, and the light was on there early in the morning.
Tang Shuya is back.
Han Su should have reported her health condition to Tang Shuya.
So, what was she expecting?
Expecting him to come and comfort her or humiliate her.
Or maybe she just wanted to see him.
The light flickered, making her figure look even slimmer. Her eyes were filled with sorrow, and her long, thick eyelashes never blinked.
Not knowing how long she stared, she bent over and patted her stiff calves, then turned and walked into the room.
After Han Su reported Ling Yuan's matter to Tang Shuya, he couldn't help but look at Tang Shuya's expression.
Those peach blossom eyes were unusually calm, and her lips were slightly pursed, with no expression.
Han Su didn't know what to say. Just as he was about to say goodbye, Tang Shuya turned his head, raised his eyelids and stared at him, "Han Su, why didn't you answer my call today?"
As Tang Shuya turned his head as he spoke, the shadow of the ceiling light suddenly projected onto his lenses, reflecting a cold light.
Han Su's breath hitched slightly, but he quickly calmed down and said in a steady voice, "I turned on mute when I went to the hospital, and then forgot to turn it back on. Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, it was indeed my negligence."
Tang Shuya curled his lips, picked up the cigarette box on the coffee table, took out a cigarette, and did not light it. "Han Su, how long have you been with me?"
Han Su's mind went blank for a moment. He didn't know why Tang Shuya asked that, but he still counted in his mind, "I entered the Tang family when I was fifteen. It has been fifteen years now."
Tang Shuya lowered his eyes, took off the cigarette from his lips, and played with the cigarette butt, "It's been so long."
"Yes."
"Han Su, how do you think I treat you?"
Han Su was slightly startled and hesitated for a moment. "Sir, you are naturally kind to me. If it weren't for you, I might still be in prison now, and there's no way I could have such a peaceful life. I have already considered the Tang family my home."
He has followed Tang Shuya for so many years, but Tang Shuya has never been like this tonight. It is really strange.
He seldom spoke his mind.
Hearing this, Tang Shuya remained silent for a long time. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed, "I don't want the situation today to happen again."
"understood."
Han Su lowered his hands in response.
"Okay, let's go."
After Han Su turned around and left, Tang Shuya looked at Han Su with a faint dark look in his eyes.
There was a "pop" sound.
The flames licked the cigarette, emitting an orange-red light.
The cigarette was held between his slender fingers, and the rising smoke obscured his expression.
Behind the smoke, I could only see a very handsome face with a hint of blue and white.
It's so cold and cold, it just makes people feel weird.
Tang Shuya just sat on the sofa like this, not knowing how long he had been sitting there. There were faint red bloodshot under his eyes, and the ashtray on the coffee table was full of cigarette butts.
……
From that day on, Ling Zhen never saw Tang Shuya again.
She gradually stopped standing on the balcony to count his rooms.
I truly feel like something in my heart is gradually withering and dying.
The bleeding has gradually decreased recently. After breakfast, I felt very energetic and planned to go for a walk in the garden.
Just then, her cell phone rang.
Ling Tianhua's name appeared on the screen.
Ling Zhen picked up the phone, "Hello? Dad."
"Ling Zhen, right?" The voice on the other end was that of a strange man.
Ling Zhen was stunned when she heard this. After a while, she replied, "It's me. Who are you?"
"Ling Tianhua is your father, right?"
"Correct."
"Ling Tianhua owes us some money, what do you think we should do?"
The other party's incoherent words made Ling Zhen's mind go blank. "Owe money? Owe what money? Who are you?"
"Xiaozhen..."
Ling Tianhua's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding a little distant.
The next second, another scream was heard.
Then came the curse, "Damn it, be quiet."
Ling Tianhua must have been punched.
"father!"
Ling Zhen's whole body trembled, and he shouted anxiously into the phone, "What have you done to my dad?"
"Nothing, but you'll know later."
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Ling Zhen felt that his hands were shaking as he held the phone.
The man said sinisterly, "We are only seeking wealth. If you want to see your father, you can exchange money for it."
Ling Zhen gritted his teeth and said sternly, "Aren't you clearly kidnapping and extorting me? Believe it or not, I'll call the police!"
The other party laughed sarcastically. "Haha, Miss, don't make it sound so serious. Your father was a small dealer here, and his business was booming. But when we settled the accounts, we discovered that he had embezzled a lot of our money."
The subject suddenly changed, and his tone became ruthless. "To be frank, our business is not going to be clean. You can call the police, but then we'll make your father the scapegoat!"
Ling Yuan didn't understand a word about whether he was a banker or not.
But she knew that this was definitely a dangerous thing, and her father had gotten into trouble that he shouldn't have.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her inner emotions, and asked, "How much does my father owe?"
"200."
"Two million? How could I possibly owe that much? Why don't you just go and rob me?!"
Upon hearing this number, Ling Tianhua immediately became excited and shouted loudly. Then a muffled groan was heard, which should be someone punching him again.
"Old savage, do you really value money over life? If you get into trouble with us, we can drag you to the edge of the fight in a matter of minutes!"
The other party threatened Ling Tianhua in fluent Cantonese.
"How could I take so much money from you? You are asking for too much!"
Ling Tianhua's screams continued, interspersed with the sound of fists hitting his body.
Ling Zhen's eyes suddenly widened, and he could barely hold onto his phone. "Dad... stop hitting my dad."
"You don't have to fight, just give me money."
Ling Zhen's palms were already covered in sweat. "How can I come up with 200 million right now? You have to give me some time to gather it together."
"How long do you need it?"
"One week."
The man smiled sinisterly, "A week? Do you think we're running a charity? I'll give you three days. If I don't get the money by the end of those three days, you'll be the one collecting your father's body!"
