The situation is going in the direction that no one wants, and the scales in my heart have long been tipped in.

On the one hand, I have left home since I was a child, and the intersection between me is not so warm and a naïve and pitiful little master who will fall into a coma when he sees blood. On the other side of the spectrum, my father who worked hard to raise me and my friends who followed me from birth to death, in fact, this choice is not so difficult, the difficult thing is how to make them accept my choice.

"You can't just hand us over!" In the private room of the small restaurant, my mother was a little emotional and shouted at me. Hao Tingyun on the other side also said: "I know Elder Qian very well, he won't let you go so easily, you have been involved in our disputes, and you have killed so many Deadpools and even killed Shi Bo, he will not let you go." ”

At the same time, Bai Yan and Xiyang began to say the same thing, and the voices of the arguments in the box became more and more chaotic, but only I smoked a cigarette and sat on the stool without saying a word.

"What the hell do you think? If you decide to make a deal with us and the Haotian family, we won't be arrested......" Mother said what was in her heart, once she fell into the hands of the Haotian family, I am afraid that she will suffer a lot of crimes, not only lose her career but also lose her life. At this time, I stood up, smoked a cigarette and walked outside the house, and turned back and said, "I'll make a call, don't come out." ”

In a place where there was no one on the side of the road, I called the 507 office, and the attendant transferred the call to Uncle A's line, and his deep voice came from the phone.

"Uncle, it's me." As soon as I opened my mouth, Uncle A immediately said, "I know why you called me, but I can't do anything about it." ”

"What do you mean by powerlessness?" I was already upset when Uncle A said this, and I was even more angry, and my tone became a little rushed, "At the beginning, we said okay, I will help you 507, you will settle my worries for me, and I will not let my father get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, now do you want to regret it?" When the Haotian family arrested my father, what about your people? ”

"It was Sha Lao who personally ordered the revocation of the protection of your family and friends, and I can't help." This sentence hit my heart again, before that, as the closest partner of the 507 Institute, while I helped Sha Lao so much, Sha Lao also sent people to protect my family from the disturbances of the rivers and lakes. But the partnership ended without me knowing, and I pinched the phone and calmed down for a while before saying, "Why?" Give me a reason. ”

"Because you've been trying to cut ties with 507, Ba Xiaoshan, do you really don't understand or fake. What is the purpose of Sha Lao's help before, not only sending people to teach you and your friends, but also providing you with all kinds of conveniences? That's because he once saw you as the person most likely to inherit his mantle and become the next director of the 507 Institute. But since the matter of the Ling family a few years ago, you took the opportunity to cut off the relationship with our 507 Institute, since you have no intention of becoming Sha Lao's successor, Sha Lao will not waste more resources on you. If you can't help the 507 Institute, then our 507 Institute won't help you, Xiaoshan, don't you understand this truth? "Uncle A told a very cruel truth, but every word was the truth.

"Does that mean you've taken back your 'care' for me?" In particular, I am very particular about the word "care".

Of course, that's not all there is to it. On the other hand, the reason is that you provoked someone who shouldn't be messed with this time, and the Ling family is not a high mountain in front of us in 507, and it is not in our eyes. But the Haotian family has a big business and a deep heritage, as the largest supernatural family in the rivers and lakes today, their water is too deep, and you shouldn't be involved in it from the beginning. Uncle Jia paused here when he said this, and then continued, "I'm not afraid to tell you, late at night a few days ago, Sha Lao received a mysterious phone call, and after answering the phone, he ordered to remove all the care for you, and this call was personally called by the ancestor of the Haotian family as far as I know. I don't know exactly what we talked about, but even if we 507 have to be polite to the Haotian family, there are high-ranking people above them......"

I was silent again, Uncle Jia sighed repeatedly, and finally said: "But things are not without a turnaround, if you want to be taken care of by us, call Sha Lao in person, I will report the phone number to you, it is his personal direct line." ”

It is false to say that there is no regret, the situation is getting more and more serious, and the Haotian family is beginning to show its terrifying power, and I have a feeling of being targeted by a huge monster. Even if they don't have any advantage in the head-on conflict, it can be seen from the feedback of various forces that in fact, no one in the rivers and lakes wants to provoke this monster.

Mr. Tang didn't care, the 507 Institute withdrew its help to me, my family and friends were kidnapped and hostaged, and I felt that the huge claws of the Haotian family were tightening little by little, and it was becoming more and more difficult for me to escape.

Uncle A reported Sha Lao's direct line to me, but I didn't call directly, I was afraid that Sha Lao would make a request to me, and I knew that he would definitely make a request to me. Even I knew what this request was, and that was the last thing I wanted to accept......

During the night, because I had not made a decision for a long time, we decided to stay in the town for one night. On the roof of the guest house, I sat half outside the fence, smoking a cigarette as the smoke floated in front of my eyes. After about a few minutes, there were footsteps behind me, and from the strength of the footsteps, I could hear that it was a woman.

"What are you doing here?" I knew she would come to me, just as I was confused now, and I was her only hope and reliance for her now.

"I want to say a few words to you." She asked, "Can you give me a few minutes?" ”

I turned my head sideways and saw my mother's old face after removing her makeup, the woman who wears heavy makeup every day gets older faster, and she looks no different from the aunt walking by the road. Even though he is rich in the world, youth cannot be bought.

"Say it." I knew what she was going to say, all kinds of good words, all kinds of pleading, but today I was wrong.

"I just wanted to say, I'm sorry, son." She called me son, and before today, she called me either my name or "Hey" and that excuse hit the soft spot in my heart in an instant.

"I knew I wasn't a good mother, or that I didn't even deserve to be your mother, and I left when you were very young. If it weren't for the fact that something so big happened, I wouldn't have thought of asking you for help, in fact, you should have abandoned me, after all, it was your father and your friends who took care of you growing up. Even though we are related by blood, I know that I am far less important than they are. But I just want to tell you what I thought in my heart, I was scared, but what I feared most was not death, but everything I gave up in exchange for it and disappeared in the blink of an eye. I'm afraid that if I gave you up in exchange for everything that was important to me, I would have nothing left. When I was young, I thought I had no regrets, but I knew I was sorry for you. But ......," she gasped for air with some excitement, before continuing, "whatever choice you make, I'll support you." Because this is my atonement, you may not believe me, but that's all I want to say. Do what you think is right, son......"

After she finished speaking, she walked back slowly, I had never talked to her like this, no hostility, no argument and no use, even though I knew that she said this for self-preservation, maybe playing the family card, but for me, these words touched me a lot.

Watching her walk off the rooftop, I sighed, took out the phone and dialed Sha Lao's number, and waited for a long time to connect.

"Who?" Sha Lao's voice was very weak, but his speech was clear.

"Sha Lao, what do you want me to do to help me." I didn't even report my home, so I cut straight to the point.
