Chapter 690 If you have a birthday, you must have a surprise
The clear blue sky and white clouds always make people want to go out and have fun, and they can't wait to run in the sun and feel the breath and freedom.
But Huo Hong is destined not to enjoy this sunshine.
He was forced to lie on the bed, looking down, he could only vaguely see an esophagus being contained in his mouth, slowly transporting liquid food, in this way to maintain his usual vital signs and energy needs.
The room was empty, and the curtains were closed and never reopened, leaving Huo Hong in a state of dark vision for a long time.
Only the beeping sound of the instrument seems to remind Huo Hong that he is still alive now.
Hearing the footsteps outside the corridor fading away, Huo Hong closed his eyes, feeling annoyed in his heart, but now he couldn't move.
"..." There was a weak panting sound, resembling a broken blower.
It's been a few weeks since he last called Xu Dong.
Even an extremely precise concept of time will gradually lose its way in the absence of clocks day after day.
The last time he ventured to call Xu Dong, the housekeeper discovered it not long after.
There was no communication tool in Huo Hong's room, and the only landline used for decoration was used. Whether it was recording or other things, it was only a matter of time before it was discovered, let alone Huo Yichen was tricked by Xu Dong afterwards.
It was precisely because of this that Huo Hong recruited the housekeeper to bring in a new doctor to examine him because of his actions.
"The patient's condition is slowly recovering, and it's pretty good. If you follow this trend, you may get better after waiting a little longer." The doctor's evaluation of the results was very positive.
But when Huo Hong watched the butler hear this, he suddenly had a premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, not long after the doctor left, Huo Hong's treatment changed.
The only landline that could contact the outside world was withdrawn, and the frequency of servants who came to see the situation gradually increased. The most important thing was to start using liquid food and related drugs, and began to softly control him.
In a sense, Huo Hong's status quo is no different from a vegetative state without his still active brain.
Thinking that Huo Yichen is now in control of the Huo family, Huo Yichen's anger rose more than once.
I don’t know what those separated wastes are doing, and there is no movement yet.
And that Huo Xiuyuan!
Huo Hong, who has recalled the truth about the murder of his own son, still cannot calm down his anger for a long time when he thinks of Huo Xiuyuan in his heart.
It's a pity that Huo Xiuyuan, who has fled abroad to avoid the limelight, cannot receive Huo Hong's curse on him.
Since Huo Yichen took over Huo's at that time, Huo Xiuyuan can be said to be like a mouse, frightened and even traveled to several countries, fearing that he would be found.
As for today, a dilapidated building that looks like it might collapse anytime and anywhere, standing in a slum area won't be too conspicuous. The chaotic situation and various swear words in unknown languages are intertwined.
It can be said that there are all kinds of people gathered here, with different hair colors and skin colors, but they have a unified downfall.
A beautiful naked woman stood swaying on the side of the street, beckoning and inviting someone who might become her client. The gangster with erratic eyes leaned against the wall, exuding restlessness.
There are even addicts in the corridor who have already been high.
Huo Xiuyuan pulled the hood on top of his head, feeling disgusted but had to blend in with this group of people, then quickly found his room, took out the key, opened the door and walked in.
But as soon as he entered, the musty smell wafted from the room, so he greeted Huo Xiuyuan first.
Huo Xiuyuan cursed a curse word, and quickly closed the door with his hands and feet, also to isolate those peeping eyes from outside, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
He has been living like this for several months.
On the one hand, he has to beware of Huo Yichen finding himself, on the other hand, he lives alone in a foreign country, and he has to be careful of all kinds of dangers around him.
【When can I go back? 】
"This kind of life is simply not human." Huo Xiuyuan muttered dissatisfied.
I think that when he was still in China, when Huo Hong's adopted son was staying in Huo's house, his daily treatment was many times better than it is now.
After a few minutes, the other party replied. [At least not now. 】
Huo Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows irritably, and directly dialed a series of numbers that he had memorized by heart.
The other side didn't answer.
So he called again, persistently over and over again.
It may be that the other party also realized that Huo Xiuyuan was unwilling to give up, and he must be connected before he would restrain himself, so he finally pressed the connection on the sixth time.
"Every time I say it's not the time, when will I go back!" Huo Xiuyuan, who had lived outside for several months, had a long-standing grudge, so his tone of voice was also offensive.
The other side was silent for a while.
"Speak." Huo Xiuyuan impatiently kicked the trash can by his feet to vent his dissatisfaction. "If you don't make a sound, I'll take it as your default and I'll go back and book a ticket today."
"No." As soon as this was involved, the opposite party directly vetoed it with a firm tone.
Huo Xiuyuan was not surprised by this answer.
He looked down at his feet, the trash can that he had kicked over had already been dumped on the ground, and the **** in it also scattered on the ground, which made Huo Xiuyuan's mood worse.
"... Huo Hong doesn't know what's going on now. Huo Yichen is also planning to purge the board of directors in the company recently." He spoke to the other side. "Anyway, your coming back at this time is just adding to the chaos."
"Are you so afraid of Huo Yichen?" Huo Xiuyuan asked.
Even though he is also afraid of Huo Yichen in his heart, but now he can't go back, the resentment in his heart must have a place to vent.
The other person asked back, "Why do you think you are staying abroad now?"
As soon as this question was asked, neither Huo Xiuyuan nor the other party could give an answer.
"...I will stay for another three months at most." Huo Xiuyuan gave the deadline.
We can't let him just spend his whole life outside as a greedy ghost, besides, Huo Xiuyuan has had enough of this kind of life hiding in Tibet.
Perhaps because of the "tranquility" during this period, Huo Xiuyuan has begun to forget the days when he was an opponent with Huo Yichen, so he speaks hard now, as if he is not afraid of going back and becoming the opponent's defeat directly.
Thinking for a while, "Okay, I see."
A phone call ended like this.
Huo Yichen looked at the mobile phone that had turned into a screensaver interface again, his eyes were heavy and his mood was irritable.
I don’t know which bunch of lunatics or drug addicts immersed in hallucinations are having fun outside the door, humming some tuneless tunes, every beat is not where it should be, it sounds weird and infiltrating.
Three months is the minimum period.
But in such an environment, Huo Xiu couldn't stay there, let alone a month, a week, or even a day.
He flipped through the calendar, and suddenly stopped his eyes when he saw a date.
It was Huo Yichen's birthday.
Huo Xiu is far from being a fool, so the day Huo Yichen came to Huo's house, he had already kept the other party's information in his heart, which naturally included his birthday.
When there is a birthday, there must be a surprise.
