Chapter 559
559 The Rose
Feng Nan was not at home, and the person in charge of taking care of her could not explain why she had gone missing, so they had no idea when miss had gone missing.
Perhaps this girl was too well-behaved and never let people worry about her. It had been so long since the incident, and everyone only knew that she was missing when Feng Zhongliang asked.
Hearing the sound of Mrs. Feng playing cards on the phone, Feng Zhongliang was furious and ordered her to go home immediately.
After she came back, she did not dare to speak up in front of her father-in-law. The worry on her face was not so much for her daughter, but more for her undefeatable game of cards.
Her assistant carried her bag and followed behind her. Her exquisite makeup couldn’t hide her fatigue.
After learning that her daughter had gone missing, she had complained again and again. At first, she was sure that her daughter was disobedient and must have gone somewhere to play, but refused to come home.
Feng Zhongliang looked at her yawning face coldly and suddenly felt a chill in his bones.
In his early years, he had been running around for the Revolutionary War and left the family to his wife. After the victory of the Chinese Revolutionary War, he brought his family to Hong Kong, and his children were not young anymore.
Due to the lack of discipline, the children of the Feng family feared him more than they loved him.
Having been in the Army for many years, Feng Zhongliang was a man of his word. He did not smile and was very serious. The younger generation in the family were all very afraid of him. Among his grandchildren, few were close to him. Even when they were in front of him, most of them were respectful, and some of them were even trembling in fear.
He wasn’t close to his family and was distant by blood, so every time he came home from a social event, this mansion that he had worked so hard to get would seem particularly cold.
Every time he got drunk, it was always Xiao Liu who was busy running around.
However, Feng Zhongliang had never felt that the Feng family was so cold before. This mansion was so cold that he could not feel any human emotions.
He had ordered his men to track down Feng Nan’s whereabouts, and he had also gathered the people from the other branches. These people were enduring their dissatisfaction, but under his pressure, they did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Feng Zhongliang still remembered that Feng qinlun was the last one to be found.
As Feng Nan’s biological father, he had no idea about his daughter’s disappearance. When he was dragged down from Wang zhiqiu’s bed, he was still drunk. When he was taken to Feng Zhongliang, his eyes were drunk and his clothes were disheveled. He was in a sorry state.
Feng Zhongliang asked him, ”
“Where’s Feng Nan?”
“Feng Nan?”
He even thought for a long time before he remembered such a daughter. He pointed upstairs.
“He’s probably asleep.”
At that time, Feng Zhongliang’s response was a loud slap on the face. Feng qinlun was immediately hit to the ground and was trembling.
He was afraid of his father and didn’t even dare to say a word of rebuttal.
The people from the other branches were either gloating or holding their breath. No one suggested a solution, and no one pleaded for Feng qinlun.
Feng Zhongliang could still remember that silence clearly even after so many years.
At that time, Feng Zhongliang began to reflect on the failure of his education and began to recall his life’s past. He had worked hard for Zhongnan industry for half of his life, and what exactly was it for?
The opened package was placed in front of everyone, and each of them looked as if they were watching a strange and lively scene. Some people were afraid, some were glad that it wasn’t them, but almost all of them had numb expressions as if the matter didn’t concern them.
Feng Nan had been missing for a long time, and no one could clearly state the exact time they last saw her.
He only knew that these three bloody nails had been received seven or eight hours ago.
For a long time, Feng Zhongliang kept thinking about the three nails that had dried blood. What he thought more about was not the pain when Feng Nan’s nails were pulled out. What he was afraid of was whether Feng Nan had hoped for her family to come to her rescue and protect her from the torture of the bandits the moment her nails were pulled out.
Would her hopes be worn down bit by bit while she waited in despair?
In the dead of the night, Feng Zhongliang could not help but think about it, but he could not ask. After Feng Nan was rescued, life went on as usual.
There were more servants serving her now, and she was quieter and more obedient.
It was just like the Tang Jing in the movie, locked up in a dark room, waiting for the kidnappers to ask for a ransom from the Tang family. It was the kind of feeling that was waiting for redemption.
She must have been like in the movies, trying her best to crawl into bright places, letting the sun and light shine on her, waiting for her parents and relatives to break in.
After feeling disappointed and knowing that no one would come again, she crawled into the darkness and curled up, hoping that no one would discover her. Would no one hurt her if they couldn’t see her?
Feng Zhongliang saw Tang Jing curled up in the corner. Even when his bare foot was accidentally shone on by the light, he would shiver in fear and try to avoid it. Feng Zhongliang’s heart ached so much that he almost cried.
He remembered that when he had rescued Feng Nan, she had also been hiding in a dark corner. If it had not been for the police with their flashlights, she would not have been discovered so quickly.
How similar was the scene back then to the scene in the movie?
After Cheng Jianguo, who was portrayed by Liu Ye, took on the task of ‘taking care’ of the hostage, he spent more time with Tang Jing. He was a cornered criminal and a prey. Perhaps it was because of Tang Jing’s gentleness and helplessness, but Cheng Jianguo’s heart was slowly moved.
It was difficult for him to hate her as much as he did in the beginning. Sometimes, he would throw a tantrum because of Tang Jing’s family background and status, but most of the time, he was much better to her.
The leg that he had lifted should have been kicked down heavily, but for some reason, the leg weighed more than a thousand pounds. When he lifted it up, he put it down weakly.
He watched the girl’s change. At first, she stubbornly clung to the window and refused to let go. Sometimes, she would reach out and try to catch the sunlight. In the end, she would hide in a corner, afraid of the light. Sometimes, she would not move, as if she was already dead.
Her obedience was too abnormal, and Cheng Jianguo gradually became curious about her. Once, he couldn’t help but ask her, ”
“Are you always like this?”
Even his ten-year-old daughter, who was extremely sensible and obedient in his heart, could not help but throw a child’s tantrum and act cute in front of him even though she could withstand the torture of her heart disease.
Cheng Jianguo didn’t know what other people’s daughters should be like at 18, but he still remembered that his own 18-year-old age was an age of lawlessness. He had caused a lot of trouble, big and small, and acted on impulse, giving his parents a headache.
In comparison, Tang Jing was born into a wealthy family and had everything she needed. She should be as arrogant as a Princess and not be as quiet as a wisp of smoke, as if she could disappear into the air without anyone knowing.
Her big eyes were out of focus as she looked into the distance. After getting used to the darkness, Cheng Jianguo believed that she would be able to find him because her body was still trembling in the dark.
