Volume 4, The Demon Crow Demon Palace_Chapter 76, Mother's Mansion
For the first time in my life, I took a private jet, lying on the wide sofa and looking at the night view of Shanghai outside the window, with a glass of overflowing red wine in my hand, I took a sip, and my thoughts gradually drifted away, as if I had returned to my childhood. I remember when I was very young, there were a few children in the public house who always liked to make trouble, and every time I got into a fight with a few of us, I would scold and say that I didn't have a mother. Although I have a very shallow memory of my mother, I am always angry when I am scolded like this, and it will be even more fierce when I fight.
Of course, this is just a small part of my life, and as a boy, it seems that not having a mother since childhood is not a big deal. My father took care of me for food and clothing, and when I was a child, I didn't study very well, and the days went by. I didn't hide in my room every day and cry why I didn't have a mother, and that kind of self-pity was not the epitome of me.
"What do you think?" The big woman came over with a wine glass and asked when she saw me.
"It's nothing, it's just a daze." I turned around and asked, "How long does it take to fly from Shanghai to Hong Kong?" ”
"About two or three hours." She replied, "When I arrive in Hong Kong, I will introduce you to a few of your mother's friends, everyone is very concerned about your mother's affairs, and you should pay more attention to her life." ”
I didn't say a word, I took a sip of wine and still looked out the window, muttering softly in my heart: her life ......
If you have to say that there was any sadness when you were a child, it should be a birthday, at that time the family's economic situation was not very good, although it has begun to eat cakes in fashion, but not every household can afford to buy it. It's like when KFC first entered China in the 90s, it was considered by a large number of people to be authentic Western-style fast food, and you had to brag about eating a hamburger for half a day. My father would always add a meat dish to me and cook a bowl of noodles. One time my birthday coincided with something in the factory, and my father had to leave me to work overtime. A person is left alone at home on his birthday, and even if he has a bowl of hot noodles in front of him, he still can't eat it. It was a very uncomfortable day, but boys, after a few hours, I didn't feel anything.
The plane glided smoothly in the air, and there were only a few people on the private jet, and a few bosses were discussing something in a whisper. I was about to squint for a while, but Mr. Tang walked up from behind, saw me and smiled and said, "Let's talk to you." ”
Since the big events of the Ling family back then, Mr. Tang's attitude towards me has always been very respectful, and it is also because my strength is growing day by day, and the big guys in the rivers and lakes will naturally give a little thin face when my fists are hard.
"You say."
"You're wading too deep into the water of 507, if I were you, I'd skim it off as soon as possible." I thought he would talk to me about this matter in Hong Kong, but I didn't expect a mouth to talk about 507. I paused, and then listened to him say: "There are a lot of inside stories you don't know, all parties are trying to take advantage of you, the more traps you go, the greater the consequences that may be caused in the end, if I am you, I will withdraw from it." ”
Mr. Tang's message is notoriously sensitive, and he must have said this to me because he knew something. I asked curiously, "What the hell do you know?" ”
"I can't say more, but I can remind you, does Sha Lao of 507 really want to give way?" He had something to say, and he mentioned Sha Lao as soon as he opened his mouth, and I was about to say it, but he patted me on the shoulder and walked away. Leaving me alone to figure out the meaning of his words, doesn't Sha Lao want to give way?
Nearly two and a half hours later, the plane arrived in Hong Kong, and after leaving the tarmac, the woman immediately arranged for a car. I thought I was going to the hotel, but I didn't expect the car to drive me to a big house. Repulse Bay is a well-known area for the wealthy in Hong Kong, and the car went up the mountain road and stopped in front of a mansion at the top of the mountain. I sat in the car and asked strangely, "What is this for?" Don't drop me off at the hotel? ”
"This is your mother's house, you don't need to stay in a hotel when you come to Hong Kong, it's more comfortable than a hotel." The female boss replied immediately, I didn't say anything, but I didn't want to. I didn't want to come and experience how luxurious my mother's life was, and I wouldn't want to live such a rich life if I could. If I had thought about it, I would have been worth a lot of money a few years earlier. The big girl seemed to show me how big my mother was in Hong Kong, but maybe I thought too much, as she said, it's better to live at home than in a hotel.
The iron gate opened, and there were many security personnel standing next to the gate, and the car continued to drive inside after entering the iron gate, and then stopped in front of an old-fashioned western-style building. Luxury homes in Hong Kong are not necessarily very luxurious in appearance, and luxury homes with that kind of century-old feeling are often more favored. I got out of the car and saw a dozen servants waiting at the door of the house, and immediately bowed and saluted when they saw us, looking very respectful.
"These are all home-based servants, including those from the mainland, the Philippines, and Japan. Those men are stewards and deacons, go in, you are now half the master of this house. The lady motioned for me to walk in. I walked inside with my bag on my back, and immediately two maids ran up to take the package from my hand, but I gently pushed it away.
"You don't have to help, you don't have to serve me, I'm not used to it." I am a rough man who walks in the mountains and wilderness all day long, and I am used to this kind of life of clothes to reach out for food and open my mouth. A few servants were a little embarrassed, looked at me and then at the female bride, and after the lady waved her hand, they retreated into the house and went to work. One of the butlers, who was about fifty years old, showed me the way and led me to the house. I walked through the corridor with my bag on my back, the decoration style was European but not heavy, and the interior decoration looked very high-grade, and it cost a lot of money at first glance.
"The one inside is your room, there's a service button on the wall, press it and we'll be right over. I've got the bath water ready, and if you're hungry, our cook will be in place twenty-four hours a day. After he finished speaking, he stood at the door, I put down my bag, the room was large but it looked strange, this strangeness was like I walked into a hotel that I had never been to, the room was not very popular, but there was no dust. Apparently there was no one to live in but it was cleaned regularly, so I looked back and said, "I'm a little hungry, just cook a bowl of noodles, and better get some wine." ”
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I know, I'll bring it to you in a while." By the way, you and Madame are really alike. ”
The butler walked out, and I walked around the room, my eyes falling on the picture on the table next to me. The woman in the photo is still very young, wearing a beautiful red coat, with heavy makeup but still unable to hide the immaturity between her eyebrows. I held the picture up, and the woman in the photo was so similar to me, it looked like a female version of me.
"Your mother was a beautiful woman when she was young, and many people pursued her." At this moment, the voice of a female boss came from behind me, I put down the photo, turned back and said, "I don't remember much when I was a child, so I don't remember much about what she looked like when she was young." ”
This photo was taken not long after she came to Hong Kong, it was really not easy at that time, she was called a mainland girl, and many people bullied her. She's the strongest woman I've ever met, maybe because of her similar tempers, so we became friends. If you want to know, I can tell you about your mother. She walked over and said as she swiped her finger over the photo.
I shook my head and said, "I'm not interested in knowing, I'll leave as soon as I deal with your affairs." ”
In the dining room, I was eating noodles, Hong Kong's wonton noodles are still very good, and the chef's skills in my mother's house have nothing to say, and I also made a few small snacks by the way. After stuffing my stomach, the big woman came over with a few people, and I wiped my mouth and looked at them suspiciously. Several people immediately introduced themselves, and it turned out that they were all private investigators. This matter was also reported to the police, as a well-known Hong Kong businessman, the kidnapping of his mother was investigated in both black and white, but the result was not satisfactory. Almost no useful information was investigated, and my mother was like a small rock sinking into the sea, not knowing where it had been washed away by the sea.
"These are detectives who helped investigate your mother's case, so sit down."
