Chapter 77 Is the fish dead and the net broken?
Shen Boyan was stunned for a while before he realized what he was doing.
He is in the hospital now.
There was a clear dull swelling pain in his head. Shen Boyan raised his arm and touched it, feeling the touch of gauze.
Is he saved? The hospital where Meng Xinqiao sent him?
There was a loud noise at the door. Shen Boyan looked up and happened to catch Meng Xinqiao's gaze.
"Cheng Wenjun is awake." Meng Xinqiao strode forward and said to Shen Boyan, "I asked the nurse to keep an eye on him."
When Shen Boyan heard this, he sat up and said, "I'll go with you."
Meng Xin Qiao supported him: "Be careful."
Shen Boyan thought of the memory that seemed like a dream but not a dream. The defender's words were very mysterious and came in a very strange way.
He didn't know if he could trust it, and he couldn't tell what its purpose was.
"Do you know that there is something?" Shen Boyan asked Meng Xinqiao as he walked. "It says that it maintains... uh, the fate line in this world."
Meng Xinqiao looked back at him. , there was some clarity in his eyes.
"I know, did it come to you?"
"Well," Shen Boyan nodded, "it also mentioned this necklace. It said that in addition to you and Cheng Shunhao, there is a third thing attached to the system."
Meng Xinqiao frowned slightly.
"The third one?"
"It said that the third thing is in the Cheng family's old house. Given my identity, it is more convenient." Shen Boyan said.
"It..." Meng Xinqiao still frowned, "To be honest, I didn't know about its existence for a long time. Logically speaking, it should be traced back to when I was deprived of control of my body by the system." "
That At that time, I could only vaguely follow my body... Then it found me, gave me the identity of Meng Xinqiao, and asked me to solve the system. "
Can you believe it?" Then he asked, "It told me that Cheng Wenxiu had to subjectively have the idea of leaving the body before he could be allowed to leave."
"It also told me." Meng Xinqiao said, "What it said... at least it really wanted the system to leave." Death. It's hard to say anything else. But what happened today is really weird. If there is a third person, then everything may make sense."
Shen Boyan thought about what happened just now.
"This system..." He pursed his lips, "It wants to kill me."
"Yes." Meng Xinqiao looked down at him, "Originally, what we thought was that it didn't dare to really kill us. Because it has no other choice." "But if it has a third attachment, it can kill it." Shen
Boyan said in a low voice, "This is why it wants to completely eliminate our escape route."
I still feel a little scared. If he, Meng Xinqiao, hadn't arrived in time, if he hadn't held Cheng Wenxiu back...
"Well, I think that should be the case." Meng Xinqiao nodded slightly.
"Now... we can only do as it says."
As they were talking, a burst of noise suddenly came from the ward not far away.
"I want to get out!" Cheng Wenjun - to be precise, Cheng Wenxiu, who is parasitic on Cheng Wenjun, shouted, "What are you going to do! Why don't you let me go!"
"Be quiet!" The nurse's voice came, "The examination has not been done yet. When you're done, where are you going?"
Shen Boyan and Meng Xinqiao looked at each other and walked quickly to the ward.
When the door was pushed open, Cheng Wenxiu was firmly pinned to the bed by a nurse, with a blood stain drawn from the needle on the back of his hand.
Seeing the two of them, Cheng Wenxiu's expression became a little ferocious.
"I want to get out!" He shouted, "You have no right to imprison me!"
"No one wants to imprison you." Meng Xinqiao said calmly.
Cheng Wenxiu looked at the two of them with red eyes.
"As expected, you guys hooked up together." He sneered through gritted teeth, "I shouldn't have taken it so lightly!"
The nurse on the side had an expression that said something was wrong.
Shen Boyan was unmoved: "It was you who occupied the magpie's nest first."
Cheng Wenxiu wanted to continue the quarrel. But Meng Xinqiao ignored him and only turned to look at the nurse: "How long does he need to stay?"
"He can leave after the injection." The nurse replied.
Meng Xinqiao glanced at him.
"Let's go upstairs and have a look later." He said to Cheng Wenxiu.
"Why?" Cheng Wenxiu scratched his head.
"Do you want me to go alone?" Meng Xinqiao smiled half-heartedly, "If you don't go, you will regret it."
Obviously, Cheng Wenxiu didn't want to regret it.
He mumbled twice and then stopped talking. He just leaned on the hospital bed with an ugly expression on his face, obediently waiting for the potion to fall drop by drop.
Meng Xinqiao dragged out a chair and sat down next to Shen Boyan. Shen Boyan looked around and found that this was the hospital where he came after his head was hit by a mobile phone.
Cheng Wenxiu's body is in the inpatient department.
After realizing this, Shen Boyan raised his face and looked at Meng Xinqiao, and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "Do you want to take him to see your body?"
"Yes." Meng Xinqiao nodded. , "Don't we have to make him not want to cooperate with the system?"
Although they were indeed discussing business, it became particularly dazzling when they appeared like this in Cheng Wenxiu's place.
He stopped talking and just stared at the two of them gloomily, wishing to burn them through with his eyes.
There was very little medicine left in the medicine bottle. After a few minutes, the nurse came to remove the needle.
Cheng Wenxiu pressed the gauze on his hand with a stinky face. Meng Xinqiao stood up and smiled: "Let's go?"
"Let's go." Cheng Wenxiu said coldly.
Meng Xinqiao took the lead to walk out of the ward. Shen Boyan looked at Cheng Wenxiu, and then slowly caught up with Meng Xinqiao's pace until he caught up.
When Cheng Wenxiu was walking by, Cheng Wenxiu looked at Shen Boyan with some resentment.
"I didn't expect you would have known about it for a long time." Cheng Wenxiu whispered.
Shen Boyan glanced at him and didn't answer.
Cheng Wenxiu asked for trouble and shut up completely. The three of them were silent all the way and stood in front of Cheng Wenxiu's ward on the 13th floor of the inpatient department.
"How long have you been lying here?" Meng Xinqiao held the door handle and turned around.
Cheng Wenxiu twitched his lips: "What, what's the point of asking this?"
"Nothing." Meng Xinqiao still smiled, "Let's go in and take a look."
He raised his hand and pushed open the door. The door to the ward opened, revealing a person lying on the bed in the room.
It was the first time that Shen Boyan saw Cheng Wenxiu in a vegetative state so clearly.
He no longer remembers what Cheng Wenxiu looked like back then. At this moment, the body looks pale and swollen. Even though the facial features are still somewhat familiar, it looks extremely pitiful.
For some reason, Shen Boyan always felt that Cheng Wenxiu's body was declining too quickly. I only caught a glimpse of it the last time I came here, and it didn't look so exaggerated. But this time, it was so swollen that it was almost invisible.
Cheng Wenxiu came to visit many times as Cheng Wenjun, and it was not like he had never seen him like this. He squinted at Meng Xinqiao: "I've seen it, what do you want to do?"
"What are the conditions for its transaction with you?" Meng Xinqiao crossed his arms and asked.
"What, are you afraid?" Cheng Wenxiu said sarcastically without answering.
"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid. It's just that it only has these few chips - to let you return to your body and then get the Feijin Group, right?" Meng Xinqiao was not angry, but said slowly.
"Speak directly." Cheng Wenxiu was unhappy, "I don't have time to play such riddles with you."
Meng Xinqiao smiled: "You should know it yourself."
"In the past three or four months, you have often Looking at his body, we should also find that he has deteriorated a lot. "
So?" Cheng Wenxiu stared at him.
"If you don't go back." Meng Xinqiao curled her lips, "Do you think your body will be able to return to its original state in the future?"
Cheng Wenxiu paused suddenly.
"You also know in your heart that the more you come, the more you will find problems with your body." Meng Xinqiao said, "Don't you find it strange?"
"What do you mean?" Cheng Wenxiu's voice became louder.
"It happened that you were in a car accident, and it happened that you were attached to me." Meng Xinqiao narrowed his eyes.
As Shen Boyan listened, his words gradually became more persuasive: "Guess, is there anything you don't know about this?"
Cheng Wenxiu looked sternly: "Mr. Cheng Wen, you want to sow discord. Try a better approach."
"You also know that your body is deteriorating too quickly," Meng Xinqiao continued.
He pointed at the frighteningly swollen body: "Have you ever thought that you could have gone back a long time ago, but 'it' kept you captive in its own body?"
"If it was omniscient and omnipotent, it could protect you. The body...but it can't do it."
"As long as I succeed in the strategy, I can come back and everything will be fine." Cheng Wenxiu gritted his teeth.
"Do you think you can still conquer it?" Shen Boyan glanced at him.
Cheng Wenxiu's face turned pale.
"Or -" Meng Xinqiao's eyes changed and he looked directly at Cheng Wenxiu, "Guess, does this 'strategy' really require a strategy, or is it just a trick?"
These words are very special. It was sharp and directly exposed the story that Cheng Wenxiu had firmly believed in these days.
Cheng Wenxiu's expression was a little shaken. But he quickly realized something and showed a playful and sarcastic expression.
"Then why should I trust you?"
Cheng Wenxiu sneered and said, "I don't have to go back. As long as I have your identity for one day, I can own Fei Jin for one day."
"If I don't leave, you can't come back. Let's just waste it, who's afraid of who? At least your things are mine now."
"I don't need my original body," Cheng Wenxiu looked at Meng Xinqiao, "but you can have the body of 'Meng Xinqiao'. " How long will it take?"
"You have recently handled the matter of Feijin Group." Meng Xinqiao did not panic at all, and said, "Cheng Shunyang is eyeing it, and the financial chain within Feijin Group is almost broken."
"What's more," Meng Xinqiao said considerately, "If you don't have a way to clean up the mess, you'll probably be left with no power and even need to pay back. " An empty shell with huge debts."
"How will you live then...can you accept it?"
Cheng Wenxiu's expression changed completely.
He looked at Meng Xinqiao bitterly: "You are so cruel, Cheng Wenjun."
"We have exhausted all the agencies recently. Are we just waiting for this day?"
"Today is an emergency." Meng Xinqiao smiled.
"And... you know, Cheng Shunhao just died of cardiac arrest." He added the last chip lightly. Cheng Shunhao is dead?
Has his body, which is like an empty shell, finally been given up by the system?
Shen Boyan was also startled.
"What?" Cheng Wenxiu suddenly raised his head in shock.
There was blood in his eyes: "Father, why..."
"You probably don't know, but its previous host was Cheng Shunhao." Meng Xinqiao said, "Didn't you hear what Cheng Wen'an told you? Cheng Shunhao actually He was already dead, and all that was left of him was an empty shell. Today, your so-called system escaped from this empty shell, and he died
after being taken to the hospital by me.
After saying that, the ward finally fell into silence.
The facts are bloody and stark. Meng Xinqiao connected everything that happened so blatantly, and threw it all in front of Cheng Wenxiu.
It all comes together in a complete circle.
Shen Boyan realized that the cruelest thing was that from the beginning, Cheng Wenxiu had no other choice.
The ticking sound of the instrument was mixed with the vague footsteps coming from the corridor, as if silently urging Cheng Wenxiu to answer.
Shen Boyan saw that Cheng Wenxiu's eyes changed several times, and finally fell on his poor body on the bed.
"What do I need to do to go back?"
After a few minutes, he suddenly asked.
Shen Boyan was about to say something, but the moment the words came out, a sudden change occurred.
Cheng Wenxiu's body suddenly twitched, and a strange grunting sound came from his throat. This voice was very similar to Cheng Shunhao's voice just now, and it made an uncomfortable sound in the eardrums.
"It's going to run away." Meng Xinqiao said coldly.
Cheng Wenxiu kept shaking, and his body lying on the hospital bed slowly twisted.
The necklace around Shen Boyan's neck suddenly became hot. After this strange scene lasted for a few seconds, he completely lost his strength and fell to the ground.
The necklace also cooled down instantly.
Shen Boyan subconsciously wanted to help the body, but Meng Xinqiao got there first.
"Let's go."
Meng Xinqiao raised one arm and straightened up, with a slightly serious look on his face.
"It's time for us to go to the old house."
