Chapter 24 second quarter

Here, I have to make one point - no one can guard against the occurrence of this incident.In a peaceful life, there is such a danger hidden, which is something that human beings cannot expect. One day in June 2012.a simnple day.The only unusual thing - that day happened to be Xia Qing's birthday. But it was five o'clock in the afternoon, excluding the housekeeper, bodyguards and Filipino maids, there was only Xia Lan and Xia Qing, father and son, in the luxurious big house.Shangguan Yun was going to celebrate his son's birthday with him, but his mother's nanny called and said that the old lady's old problem was broken.Shangguan Yun had to visit his mother, and before leaving, he told his husband to accompany his son well.

In fact, there is no need to remind at all.Xia Lan probably loves her son more than Shangguan Yun.Today, he specifically turned down all the entertainment, just planning to have fun with his son for a day. In the morning, they had already gone to the largest playground in the city to have a good time. After eating high-end western food and ice cream, they went to the toy city to choose gifts. At three o'clock, the son said he was a little tired, so Xia Lan took him home and slept for a while. After getting up now, Xia Qing rubbed his eyes and called "Dad". Xia Lan let his son sleep in the big bedroom he and his wife shared.When his son was sleeping just now, he opened the safe in the corner of the room, which contained his collection of gems and jades worth hundreds of millions.Xia Lan likes to keep these things by his side, not because he wants to save money, but because he likes to appreciate these beautiful treasures made by combining nature and artificial skills from time to time—a kind of high-level enjoyment.It was only when Xia Qing called "Dad" for the second time that Xia Lan turned around.He was fascinated just now by looking at a piece of radiant and ingenious dark green emerald.At this moment, he smiled gently and said, "Qingqinggou (Xia Lan's nickname for Xia Qing), are you awake?"

Xia Qing lifted the luxurious Roman silk quilt, got off the big bed, walked to his father, sat on his father's lap naturally, and said, "Are you looking at these stones again?" "These are not ordinary stones." Xia Lan said with a smile, holding up the dark green jadeite, "Are they beautiful?" "Pretty." Xia Qing nodded seriously. Xia Lan took out another ornament made of pure natural black agate from the safe, and asked her son, "What about this one?" "This one is more beautiful! Daddy, give it to me." Xia Lan teased her son: "No, it's too expensive."

"What do you mean expensive?" "It means it's worth a lot of money." "It's worth a lot of money so you can't give it to me? Dad is so stingy." Xia Lan said with a pouted mouth. Xia Lan laughed loudly: "My dear son, all the gems in this safe will be yours from now on!" "Ah...Really?" Xia Qingtian really opened his eyes wide, "This pile of precious stones is all mine?" "Of course it's true!" Xia Lan kissed her son's face value, "These are all gifts from Dad." "Oh! That's great." Xia Qing hugged her father's neck, "I love my father the most!"

Xia Lan looked at her son's lovely face: "Really, do you love daddy the most? Mommy is now second?" Xia Qing thought for a while, blushed and nodded, then blinked ghostly: "But you can't tell mom." "Hahaha, no." Xia Lan hugged her son extremely contentedly, feeling extremely happy. At this time, Xia Lan's cell phone rang, and it was the vice president of the consortium calling.Xia Lan sighed, originally he didn't want to talk about any work matters today, but the vice president called at this time, there must be something important... He could only press the answer button.

"President Xia, I'm sorry to bother you." "What's the matter, tell me." "It's like this. The chairman of Weidun Pharmaceutical Group, which has cooperated with us before, called this afternoon and said that the company is preparing to research a new drug recently, which has great commercial value, and hopes that we can invest in this project... Before the vice president finished speaking, Xia Lan said impatiently: "Is this kind of thing urgent? Can't we talk about it tomorrow?" "Mr. Xia, as far as I know, the market prospect of this drug is indeed very promising. I worry that if they don't reply for too long, they will consider other investors."

"How much do they need?" "The first batch of funds will be 50 million US dollars." Xia Lan frowned: "What kind of medicine? Need such a large investment?" "Mr. Xia, if you're not too busy right now, I can give you a brief introduction..." Xia Lan realized that this was an important matter for the consortium.At this time, the son who was sitting on his lap interrupted inappropriately: "Dad, show me the other treasures in this cabinet!" Xia Qing picked up his son with his arms, put him down from his lap, and said, "Qingqinggou, Dad answers the phone, you can play for a while."

Xia Qing said, "Then come back and play with me soon." Xia Lan nodded with a smile, left the bedroom, and went to the study next door to answer the phone. In the big bedroom, only the six-year-old boy was left alone.He lay down on the Persian rug, and took out a few more gems and jades from the safe to watch and play with. But the novelty of the child passed in a while.His attention shifted from the jewelry in the cabinet to the big safe. Xia Qing observed the iron cabinet for a while and found it very interesting.This cabinet is different from other cabinets at home - there is a small cover on the door, and when the cover is lifted, there is a numeric keypad like a telephone, and some other keys.Xia Qing pressed these buttons with her little finger with great interest, then entered a few numbers on the keyboard as if making a phone call, and played with the safe like a toy.

Suddenly, Xia Qing thought of a fun idea.By the way, I used to play hide-and-seek with my dad at home, why didn't I think of hiding in this cabinet?He estimated that this cabinet should just fit him.Haha, that's great, I'm kidding my dad.When he comes back in a while, let him find out where I hide! Thinking of this "wonderful" idea, Xia Qing was very excited.He got into the safe, unaware that death was approaching him.He just thought happily - he can really hold me!Quick, hide it before Dad comes back!While thinking this way, he closed the door of the cabinet from the inside, and with a "click", the safe was locked.

Almost at the same time, after finishing the phone call, Xia Lan pushed open the bedroom door. As soon as he stepped into the room, he heard a crisp "click".Where is the son? Xia Qing looked around the room. When his eyes rested on the closed safe, he heard the "click" sound just now and suddenly realized what happened. "Ah!" Xia Lan exclaimed, rushed to the safe, and shouted loudly, "Xia Qing, are you in there?" God, it was really Xia Qing's voice in the safe! "dad!" At this time, Xia Qing in the dark and small space felt that this matter was no longer fun.A six-year-old also instinctively senses the shadow of death.He shouted in panic: "Father, let me out!" Xia Lan's whole body trembled, and cold sweat broke out.Trying to stay calm, he shouted to his son in the closet, "Don't frame me, Dad will let you out immediately!"

Saying that, Xia Lan quickly opened the lid on the safe door, trembling, and entered the seven-digit password on the numeric keypad. The cabinet door did not open. The alarm system prompts: the input password is wrong.Three wrong codes will activate the automatic alarm system. There was some sort of explosion in Xia Lan's mind.No, how could it go wrong?This password is my birthday!Did I accidentally make a typo?Two more chances, try again?or…… Suddenly, Xia Lan realized something.He yelled at his son in the safe: "Xia Qing, did you press the combination lock just now?!" Inside the cabinet was Xia Qing's small voice after being blocked by the steel plate: "Yes, Dad! Let me out quickly, I'm so scared!" Oh my God!All the blood in Xia Lan's body rushed up.He hugged the safe and shouted: "Xia Qing, what is the password you set just now? Which numbers did you... press?!" Xia Qing's crying voice in the safe began to weaken: "Dad, I can't remember Get up! I pressed it randomly! Dad, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..." A red curtain appeared in front of Xia Lan's eyes, and the world began to spin and shake before his eyes. Xia Qing accidentally changed the password of the safe. The password is seven characters. Now no one knows what those seven numbers are. There are billions of possibilities for permutations and combinations. This safe has no key, and the combination is the only way to open it.unless…… Xia Lan, who was about to faint, struggled to stand up, rushed out of the bedroom like crazy, and shouted downstairs: "Butler Jin! Li Jing (Chinese bodyguard)! Gail (American bodyguard)! Chen (driver)! You... ... Come here quickly!" In less than ten seconds, Butler Jin, who was in his forties, two burly bodyguards, and Xia Lan's personal secretary hurried to the corridor on the second floor.Butler Jin asked, "Sir, what happened?" "Xia Qing! He locked himself in the safe!" Xia Lan said as she rushed to the bedroom with a few people, "And the password can't be changed, and it can't be opened!" "Oh my god..." Butler Jin and the others rushed to the safe, they were all so frightened that they didn't know what to do. "You guys immediately lift the safe into the car!" Xia Lan ordered the two bodyguards. Lee and Gale were carrying the safe together in a second. "Where are we going?" the driver asked anxiously. "Where we can pry or open this safe, we'll go there! Quick!" Several people hurried downstairs.After the driver drove Xia Lan's luxury car out, Li Jing and Gail opened the door as quickly as possible and put the safe in the trunk.Several people jumped into the car quickly, and the car shot out like an arrow. "Quick, quick! Help me think...the nearest place...where can I open this safe!" Xia Lan's throat was dry, her head was sweating profusely, her whole body was trembling, and she was so nervous and anxious that she could speak incoherently. His body was hot for a while, and then cold for a while, as if he was in a hell with two heavens of ice and fire.Never in his life had he felt such fear and despair.How long the air in the small safe could last, he didn't dare to think about it, he could only pray to God to let his poor son last. "Is there a way to open the place where the safe is sold?" Jin Butler asked hurriedly. "I don't know, try it... Hurry up, hurry up!" Xia Lan kept urging.At this moment, his mind was so confused that he could only follow the housekeeper's advice. The driver ran five red lights at a speed close to that of an F1 racing car, and finally found a safe store.Before the car stopped, Xia Lan jumped off and ran into the shop.He grabbed a clerk by the shoulder and asked, "Electronic password safe, I forgot the password...how do I open it?" The male clerk was obviously a little scared, and said tremblingly: "What type of electronic password safe? Different brands, different series, different models of safes, how to open..." Xia Lan didn't have time to wait for him to finish, so she grabbed the clerk's arm and led him to the trunk of the car.The driver has opened the trunk.Xia Lan said anxiously: "This is it! As long as you can help me open it immediately, I will give you one million! Ten million is fine!" When the male clerk saw this stretched luxury car worth tens of millions, he could already estimate Xia Lan's identity. Coupled with the anxious expressions of these people, he seemed to have guessed what happened, so he didn't dare to neglect, Immediately went to the front to observe carefully for a while, and said: "This is the world's top French vault safe. Unfortunately, sir, once you forget the combination, no locksmith in the world can open it." Xia Lan's heart felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and he tried his best not to faint: "You mean... I will never be able to open it?" "No, there is a factory code on the safe. As long as you contact the manufacturer and get the management code, you can open it." Xia Lan saw hope: "Then help me contact the manufacturer!" The male clerk looked embarrassed: "Sir, your safe is originally produced by the French Cooper company. I don't know how to contact them. And, even if we do...does any of us speak French?" Xia Lan's eyes turned black, he grabbed the clerk's shoulder and said, "No matter what, you can help me... Please..." He almost wanted to kneel down with the clerk, "As long as you can save Save my child, I promise you anything." The male clerk gasped - the facts were exactly as he had guessed.He also became anxious and walked towards the store: "Sir, I will check for you on the Internet right away..." Suddenly, he turned around and said blankly: "Sir... I remembered one thing. Even if you find the manufacturer, you need to verify the management code of a certain safe. They can't give the password casually Tell anyone. You must show proof that you are the owner of this safe..." Hearing these words, Xia Lan shook twice, almost collapsing to the ground.Two quick-sighted bodyguards hurried over to support the boss.Xia Lan could see that it was impossible to open the safe through this method, at least not within today. Moreover, he made a rough calculation - under.Half an hour has passed since Xia Qing was locked in the safe.Not to mention such a small space, even if this safe is as big as a wardrobe, a living person would be suffocated inside it. Besides, a safe is not a wardrobe.This iron box made of cold steel has no gaps.No one can stay in it for more than five minutes. Xia Lan closed his eyes in despair, tears swirling in his eyes.The clerk reminded him if he understood what he said.But all Xia Lan could understand was that he was thrown into the abyss by this world and torn to pieces. The housekeeper, bodyguard and driver beside Xia Lan were actually aware of the current situation.But they may be trying to comfort the boss or make a last-ditch effort. Butler Jin said, "Sir, let's not waste time here! There is a 4S store nearby, and there may be a way to pry open the safe there. Let's try it!" Xia Lan stood there dumbly, without saying a word.Butler Jin asked two bodyguards to help the boss into the car with his eyes.The driver kicked the accelerator and sped towards the 4S store in front. When they arrived at the 4S store, Xia Lan, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, remained motionless like a body whose soul had been taken away.Butler Jin jumped out of the car, went to the store to find the person in charge, and asked if he could help open the safe.The answer was - there is no such service here. Moreover, the various tools used to repair cars cannot pry open something as strong as a safe. Fifty minutes have passed.Xia Lan's heart was ashamed.Now, anyone with common sense understands that it is impossible for Xia Qing to still be in this world. My son, my lovely Qingqing dog, is now... Hot tears fell from Xia Lan's eyes, burning him like sulfuric acid.He couldn't see anything, couldn't say anything. At this moment, he was only thinking about one thing.If only I could die instantly. Why did the car drive so fast just now and there was no accident? God, since you have taken my son, take me with you. let me die. I beg you.
