Chapter 6 Section 6

The place where Fei Tian works is called "Sapporo AA Fitness Club".On weekdays, the club is open until ten o'clock in the evening.Before 9:30 in the evening, members of the club can use the fitness equipment, and after that, the staff will come in and clean up.Although Fei Tian's position is the store manager, he and other employees will wipe things with a rag and mop the floor with a mop.The young staff all advised him, "You don't need to do these things", but Fei Tian himself refused. The owner of the club likes alpine skiing very much, and he met Fei Tian when he was an athlete, so he invited Fei Tian to work in this club.Although he arranged for Feitian to be a store manager, what he planned in his mind was to use Feitian's "famous alpine skier" to attract customers.Even so, Fei Tian himself didn't think so.He felt that his name did not yet have the appeal to attract customers.

It was already half past ten in the evening when all the aftermath work was completed.The subsequent work is Fei Tian's task.After the rest of the staff go back, he's going to go through all the facilities again.Nothing out of the ordinary tonight.He returned to his office with a sigh of relief. He put on his down jacket and looked out the window.With fine snow floating in the sky, it seems that winter is officially coming.The nearby mountains were already silvery white.Fengmei sent an email, saying that she had joined the team and the training camp had begun. What will this year's winter be like? Just as Fei Tian was muttering, the phone on the counter rang.The phone seldom rings at such times.No, in Fei Tian's memory, no one would call at such a time.

Several possibilities flitted through his mind, all ominous.He was very worried about Fengmei, thinking, nothing will happen.However, if it was related to Fengmei, it should be his cell phone that rang. The phone continued to ring.When the fifth sound was heard, Fei Tian picked up the microphone. "Hello, this is Sapporo AA Fitness Club." He was a little nervous.In the silent room, the voice seemed unusually loud. A scream of "ah" came from the microphone.The other party thought that no one answered the phone, and seemed to be about to give up. "Hi, hello, sorry to disturb you so late. Is it still your business hours?" a man said.

"No, we only open until ten o'clock here." "That's right. I'm so sorry. I didn't know your business hours before." "It's okay, that, what can I do for you?" Feitian asked.He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this is probably an ordinary phone call, nothing serious will happen. However, the other party's next speech made him suffer. "My name is Kamijou." To be precise, Fei Tian didn't know the identity of the other party at the moment when he heard this sentence.Although he didn't know who it was, he still felt his face stiffen and his heart beat faster.Before the brain figured out what was going on, the body had sounded the alarm first.

When the pronunciation of "Kamijo" became Chinese characters in his mind, his legs began to tremble, and cold sweat gushed out of his body continuously. He couldn't say anything.The other party's "Hello" greeting came from the microphone. "Can you hear me?" "Ah, yes, I can hear you. You are Kamijou...sir, aren't you?" Hita reluctantly replied.It must be someone else, he thought, absolutely. The surname "Kamijo" is not uncommon.Fei Tian prayed over and over again in his heart. "I want to ask you something. Is there a Mr. Fei Tian in your place? His name is Hiroshi Hita, and he used to be an Olympic athlete."

Hearing such a question, Fei Tian felt that even standing became difficult.He sat down on a chair by the counter. He wanted to tell the other party "We don't have that guy here," but couldn't.The manager of this fitness club is Hiromasa Hida, a former Olympian-this sentence is published on the club's official website. "We have such a person here...do you have anything to do with Feitian?" Fei Tian felt the other party take a deep breath. "Can you tell me Mr. Feitian's contact information? I want to talk to Mr. Feitian about his daughter. If you don't have Mr. Feitian's contact information, I can tell you my mobile phone number, you Can you convey it to Mr. Hita for me? I am definitely not a bad person, I run a construction company in Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture, called KM Construction."

"KM Construction..." Fei Tian repeated the name desperately.You can't be wrong, this man is Kamijou.This call is from that man. "Our company has its own website. As long as you go to the website to confirm, you will know that I am not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, I can tell you the website of the company. The website is..." "No, wait a moment." Feitian said with a groan, "Uh, that, you don't have to say it." "So, my cell phone number is..." "I'm sorry, anyway, please wait a moment." This time, Hiroshi Hiroshi's voice became rough.The other party was a little puzzled and quieted down.

Fei Tian kept taking deep breaths.He was exhausted, holding the microphone tightly, his hands were already full of sweat. Fei Tian thought to himself, I must not escape, and, moreover, I am afraid that I would not be able to escape long ago.What should come has finally come, that's all.Fei Tian couldn't help asking himself: "You should have been mentally prepared long ago, right?" Fei Tian wanted to moisten his lips with his tongue, but his mouth was dry. "Hey, I'm sorry," Fei Tian said into the microphone, "Actually, I am Fei Tian, ​​and I am Fei Tian Hongchang."

"This..." Of course, it was the other party's turn to be speechless this time. "I'm really sorry." Fei Tian apologized to the other party, "Because no one would call at this time, so I unconsciously raised my vigilance. I am Fei Tian, ​​and there is absolutely no mistake." Fei Tian heard the other party let out a sigh. "So that's the case. You are Mr. Feitian. No, it's only right for you to be more vigilant to me. I did something unreasonable." The man raised his airs, and his tone was different from just now Variety. "You mentioned my daughter just now."

"That's right. It's a very important matter. Therefore, I really want to meet you. What do you like?" Fei Tian closed his eyes.The moment has finally come.He couldn't say no. "I see. Where shall I visit you?" "Don't bother you. If possible, I would like to visit you. Let's meet at your fitness club tomorrow. I don't know if it is convenient for you." "Ming, tomorrow...?" "Actually, I just arrived in Sapporo. That's why I called you at this time." "You've come here already. Is it for work?"

"No, the purpose of my trip is to meet Mr. Feitian. If I don't see you, I won't go back." Although the tone is very flat, but the words are loud.The opponent did not leave any room for maneuver. "I see. What time will you come tomorrow? Any time is fine with me." "Then I'll come at four in the afternoon, okay?" "Four o'clock, I see. We have a front desk here. When the time comes, just talk to the staff at the front desk." "Excuse me, just to be cautious, let me tell you my mobile phone number." Fei Tian wrote down the number given by the other party on the note paper on the counter.He was so shocked by the number that he couldn't pronounce it. It was already the second day when we got back to the apartment.Fei Tian didn't want to go home directly, but went to the bar he frequented.Fei Tian usually doesn't drink much, and his alcohol capacity is not good.But today, after three whiskeys on the rocks, he's still not a little tipsy.It seemed that his nerves were too tense to be paralyzed by alcohol. Fei Tian gulped a few mouthfuls of tap water in the kitchen, then threw himself onto the sofa.His vision was a little blurred, and he vaguely saw a photo standing in front of him.It was a group photo of Fei Tian and Feng Mei.Both were in ski suits.The photo was taken at the Sapporo International Ski Resort, when Fumi was still in the fifth grade of elementary school. Fei Tian lifted his heavy body and walked to the front of the cabinet.He picked up the photograph lying there and turned it over.He removed the backing paper and found a small folded piece of newspaper between the backing paper and the photo.It was a newspaper clipping.Although he hardly ever looked at it, he definitely didn't want to forget its existence.Therefore, Fei Tian hid this newspaper clipping here. The paper has deteriorated badly.Fei Tian carefully opened the newspaper clipping, and the headline of the report came into view. Newborn baby missing at Niigata Hospital - Nurses who were preparing dinner didn't realize that it was dug up from Tomoyo's old dresser.Fei Tian learned a cruel reality through this report.He visits the hospital where Tomoyo gave birth, but there is no record of his wife giving birth to Fumi there anyway.Not only that, but he also discovered another fact: just after he went to Europe for training, Tomoyo had a miscarriage. In the chaos, Feitian finally realized that Tomoyo had lost their precious little life when he went to Europe for skating training. How did she spend the days after that?Fei Tian felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.However, the hidden news reports put the truth in front of Fei Tian. Fengmei is not his daughter - Fei Tian has to accept this reality.All evidence points to this fact.He doesn't know if Tomoyo stole the baby, but what he can be sure of is that Tomoyo never gave birth to a child. Then again, are women who have had a miscarriage able to file a birth declaration?Fei Tian was very concerned about this, so he investigated it.He found that the management of government agencies is very chaotic, and forging birth certificates is actually very simple.Just fill in the name of a maternity hospital that actually exists, and stamp the doctor's signature column with a stamp bought from a stationery store, and everything will be fine.In several cases of baby abduction, prisoners have submitted birth declarations in this way. The troubled days began.Fei Tian didn't know how many times he had made up his mind to call the police, tell the whole story, and make it public.However, each time his determination was not strong enough.When he thought of what he would lose after doing this, he completely lost the motivation to continue. Hida loves Tomoyo deeply.She left, Fei Tian has never had any real affection for other women, not before, and never will again.His reluctance to label a woman he loved so dearly as a criminal was something he could not bear anyway.Even if she committed an unforgivable behavior and embarked on the path of crime, Fei Tian would follow her down no matter what.He knew that no matter when, he would make such a choice.At first, Hita left the pregnant Tomoyo alone at home.Because of this, Tomoyo will bear the pressure of "must give birth to a healthy child". Hima doesn't know what happened to cause Tomoyo to have a miscarriage.However, as long as he thinks of the shock and sorrow that Tomoyo suffered at that time, Feitian will feel a kind of heart-wrenching pain.She couldn't find anyone to talk to, didn't know how to explain the loss of her baby to her husband, and was tortured by despair every day. Distress drives her to a desperate choice - Tomoyo decides to steal a baby from somewhere else instead. How she acted remains a mystery.However, Hima doesn't want to blame Tomoyo.During the expedition to Europa, every time he called Tomoyo, he would ask questions such as "how is the baby in the stomach", "is it going well", "what did the doctor say".Tomoyo would always reply in a bright tone, "Well, everything is fine", "The doctor said everything, there is no problem" and so on.For Tomoyo, who clearly had a miscarriage but couldn't say it, every call was a difficult time of suffering. Fei Tian could imagine that after getting Fumi's daughter, Tomoyo never enjoyed a day of peace in his heart.There is no doubt that Tomoyo lives in fear every day-"It will be exposed one day", "Will the police find this place", "What if I meet the real parents of the child"... What is certain is that Tomoyo couldn't free himself from the harshness of his conscience.She couldn't tell the truth to her husband who was immersed in joy all day. The distress piled up day after day, and finally turned into suicide.She may just want to escape from this pain, thinking that only suicide can compensate for the crimes she has committed.She didn't even leave a suicide note.Perhaps, she had prayed in her heart, hoping to exchange her life for a truth that would never be made public.But leaving that news clipping behind became her biggest miscalculation.She probably already disposed of the other documents, but left this one in the drawer of the dresser. What should we do?Faced with such a question, Fei Tian couldn't find the answer for a long time.Fei Tian knew that morally speaking, he should go to the police, but he couldn't make up his mind.He didn't want to think of Tomoyo as a criminal.Moreover, as long as he thinks of Fengmei's sad look after learning the truth, Fei Tian will fall into despair.Most importantly, he himself is reluctant to leave Fengmei.He couldn't bear to live without his daughter. In the first ten years, Feitian always believed that Fengmei was his daughter.After Tomoyo's death, Fumi became Hita's only relative.For Hita, Fumi is a "relic" left by Tomoyo, which cannot be replaced by anyone, and was brought up by himself.Although Feitian's brain can understand that Fengmei is not his child, his heart has always refused to accept this fact.He couldn't imagine what it would be like after he severed ties with Fengmei. Although he knew that this was not the solution, Feitian continued to live with Fengmei as before.The police must never know——Hetian decided to inherit the pain that Tomoyo had suffered before. But on the other hand, Fei Tian also got happiness.Fengmei's skiing skills are improving every day.After entering junior high school, her pace of growth did not stop at all.In the winter of the first year of junior high school, Fengmei participated in the National Middle School Students Ski Competition and entered the top ten in the slalom event.Although Fengmei's starting position was very unfavorable (the 40th place), she still left many senior students far behind with her courageous skating without fear of mistakes.Even so, after returning home that day, Fengmei fell on the bed and burst into tears.She regretted it very much. If there were not some small flaws, her grades would be even better. From this, Fei Tian is convinced that one day, this child will definitely become a great player. In the winter of the second year of junior high school, Fengmei won the third place in both slalom and giant slalom.Later, in the winter of the third year of junior high school, although she was still third in the giant slalom, Fengmei won the championship in the slalom event. The splendor of Fengmei continues.In the women's slalom event of the All Japan Championship held ten days later, Fengmei beat high school students, college students, and even adult players who had already started work, and won the championship in one fell swoop.In the history of the All Japan Championships, Fumi is the second player to win the championship as a junior high school student. Taking this competition as an opportunity, Hita Fumi became the hope of Japanese skiing.But this instead gave Feitian Hongchang an ominous premonition. Fumi's name was featured in sports newspapers and professional magazines.This alone made Feitian Hongchang unbearable.If Fengmei is targeted by a bigger media—that is, a TV station—in the future, what should I do?While alpin skiers are rarely in the limelight, this one should never be taken lightly.If the young and beautiful Fengmei becomes the favorite to win medals in the Olympic Games, then the mass media is likely to give her high attention in a short period of time.In this way, Fengmei has a good chance of appearing on TV. At that time, facing the beauty on the TV screen, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will rely on their intuition and realize that "this person looks very similar to so-and-so". When it comes to the degree of similarity, it doesn't matter if it's just ordinary people.However, if that person was related to the baby abduction incident more than ten years ago, it would be a different matter, especially Fengmei's biological parents.After seeing Fengmei's appearance, they are very likely to have some kind of inspiration and recall something. They will definitely confirm Hima Fumi's date of birth.What will they do when they learn that the date is so close to their stolen child's birthday? They would probably go straight to Fumi herself.So, after seeing it with their own eyes, they will be convinced that Fengmei is their child who was stolen.This may be the unique fetters between blood.Feitian is very concerned about the fact that he has no blood relationship with Fengmei, and this feeling of inferiority pushes his imagination further into an ominous abyss. Feitian knew that the moment Fengmei's biological parents saw Fengmei on TV or in photos, everything would come to light sooner or later.It's just a matter of time.And Fengmei's publicity in the mass media will only bring this moment forward. Hita wants Fumi to become a top alpine skier.He firmly believes that one day, Fengmei will gallop in the world arena.He wants Fumi to play in the Olympics.No, it's not just about playing, he hopes that Fengmei can realize his unfulfilled dream, fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Japanese alpine skiing world, and win an Olympic medal. However, Fengmei will become famous all over the country while realizing her dream. Kenji Ogiwara of Nordic mixed skiing, Tae Satoya of Snowdonia slalom, Kazuki Funaki of ski jumping...these names are almost household names.Although the attention of these events is not as high as that of alpine skiing, Feitian knows that no matter how unpopular the event is, as long as they hang the title of "Olympic Gold Medalist", they will become famous overnight, and everyone knows it. When teaching Fengmei to ski, Feitian was full of contradictions.On the one hand, he hopes that Fengmei will become faster and stronger; on the other hand, he also realizes that he is constantly falling towards the abyss of destruction. It was the winter of Fengmei's first year in high school.Although she has joined the school's ski department, her status has fallen into a downturn for the first time.Although it has entered the official season, Fengmei's performance has not improved at all.The school's coach asks Hiroshi Hida for advice.After watching her skating, Fei Tian immediately discovered the problem.The edges of the skis were raised so high that the balance of the whole body was lost.It's just a subtle difference.Although Fengmei herself and the people around her didn't notice it, Feitian saw it at a glance. Fei Tian himself had the same problem, and he was troubled by it for a while.It's a vicious cycle: the fingertips have to make repeated adjustments because the blade is too high; with this adjustment, the rest of the body gradually loses balance and slips less and less. Fengmei's high school is a prestigious school with a tradition of alpine skiing, but there is no one in the school who can guide her.No, it's not that no one can guide her, but that no one dares to guide her.Although she is only a first-year student, Fumi was the champion of the last All Japan Competition.And, more importantly, she is Feitian Hongchang's daughter. Fei Tian knows that there is no shortcut to overcome this problem, and it can only be corrected slowly through continuous training.As long as you tell her these things, Fengmei's troubles will be solved. However, Feitian hesitated, because Fengmei once said something like this—— "I'm really a person without talent, so let's give up alpine skiing." Fei Tian knew that this was not her sincere words, but just a kind of self-destructive venting.However, from her words, Fei Tian could read that he was facing a major choice. If she is left alone like this, her state will continue to slump, and she may only be slightly stronger than ordinary players in the end.By then, she will not only give up on herself even more, but may also have the idea of ​​giving up skiing completely. Feitian thought, if she gave up skiing, Fengmei would be less likely to be featured in newspapers or on TV.Because, apart from skiing, Fengmei really has nothing else to be good at.Wherever you put her, she's just a normal girl. In this case, although Fei Tian will definitely be very distressed, it may still be an acceptable result compared to losing Fengmei. Unable to glide like before, Fumi vented all her anger on the people around her.Although she was a bit self-absorbed, she still insisted on training.Fengmei seems to firmly believe that the only way to break through the bottleneck is to slide down recklessly. Looking at Fengmei's slippery body, Fei Tian couldn't help thinking of herself when she was young.At that time, Fei Tian often thought seriously that if he could improve his grades by one second, it would be worthwhile to lose one year of life. At that time, Fei Tian often said a word to himself—— If a person is afraid of losing something, he will never achieve perfection. Fei Tian couldn't help being taken aback when he thought of this sentence. Although he has summed up a set of effective training methods through unremitting efforts, he does not teach Fengmei for a selfish reason- Fei Tian feels that his behavior is simply a blasphemy against sportsmanship.If she ruined her alpine skiing career like this, her dream would also be destroyed. That morning, Fumi went out carrying her skis as usual.Feitian quietly followed Fengmei to the ski resort together.After watching her slide a few times, he slowly walked to her side.Fengmei was really taken aback by her father's sudden appearance. "Fengmei," Fei Tian said, "Do you want to reach the pinnacle of alpine skiing?" She looked into Fei Tian's eyes and nodded vigorously. "Well, I think." "Are you able to endure anything in order to achieve this goal?" "Well, yes." "Can you make alpine skiing more important than daddy?" "Ah? Even if you say that, I will..." "Is it possible?! If there is a game when Dad is about to die, what will you do? Are you going to refuse to play?" Fengmei took a deep breath, and widened her red and phoenix eyes. "I'm definitely going to play. Dad will be happy if I do." Fei Tian nodded, desperately holding back the tears in his eyes.So, he made up his mind. Fei Tian wants to tell Feng Mei the truth.He doesn't know if now is the time, but he knows that as long as Fengmei succeeds in alpine skiing, that moment will come sooner or later.Fei Tian has made up his mind——in that case, don't be afraid.Until that day comes, I will pass on all my skills to her.If I tell her the whole truth, then I won't be able to teach her anymore—let alone teach her, maybe even getting close to her will become impossible. Relying on Fei Tian's guidance, Feng Mei quickly got out of the downturn.Not only that, after that, Fengmei's condition is getting better and better.As if she had opened her eyes, she began to show her talents in various competitions. First, she won the All Japan Championships, and then she won the high school three consecutive championships. She was simply invincible. Whenever Fengmei takes a step toward the highest level of a skier, Feitian feels that he is one step closer to the end of his life.Is it tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow?Fei Tian struggled to survive surrounded by such thoughts. So, just today—no, it should be last night to be precise—the moment finally arrived. Regarding the baby abduction incident in the newspaper, Fei Tian went to Nagaoka himself and did a certain degree of investigation.The incident happened at Okoshi Hospital in Nagaoka City.According to newspaper reports, the baby's biological father was named Nobuyuki Kamijou.Kamijou is the president of a well-known local construction company called KM Construction.It is said that at the time of the incident, the president of KM Construction was still Kamijou's father.Kamijou's wife—the mother of the stolen child—was named Setsuko. Now, that Kamijou came to Sapporo, and kept saying that he wanted to talk about Fumi. Could it be that today is... Fei Tian held the photo of herself and Feng Mei, and rubbed her daughter's face with her fingertips.
