Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Pirates

Since leaving Lu Ziqiang and Encyclopedia, Zhou Xin has ended her hidden life like an underground party. Although Lu Ziqiang and his accomplices are probably still looking for her everywhere, she can return to her mother and live with her At Guzi's house, living and eating, accompanied by morning and evening. She can push her mother downstairs to bask in the sun every morning, and she can help her aunt wash her face and body before going to bed every night.Perhaps only she can feel that the mother is sentient, and on that seemingly chaotic face, there is a triumphant smile like her.Gu Zi's body has basically recovered, and he can go back to the painting workshop and hang out with the painters as usual.Since Zhou Xin moved in, he went home early every day and had dinner with Zhou Xin, but the most talked about between Zhou Xin and him was about Gao Chun.

"Today, Lao Xia took me to the household registration office of the Public Security Bureau." Gu Zi said: "The classmate of Lao Xia was very enthusiastic, and helped us check on the computer for a long time, and found a few people named Gao Longsheng. There are also a few Gao Longsheng who have the same pronunciation and different characters, and they are basically ruled out at first glance. "Zhou Xin said: "But Gao Chun said that his father's name is Gao Longsheng, and that Professor Jiang who came to see him also called his father Gao Longsheng..." Gu Zi was silent for a while, and then slowly said: Gao Chun has been looking for his father before, and I'm afraid he has searched everywhere he could, but he hasn't found it until now, and I'm afraid we won't be able to find it either.Let's stop wasting our efforts.With just such a little clue, we have checked everything that should be investigated, and everything that should have been run has also been run away.Now that his bones are connected, I think we are worthy of him both morally and emotionally.I don't admit that I owe him anything, let alone you owe him anything!

Compared to Gu Zi's excitement, Zhou Xin seemed quite calm. She said: I don't want to be worthy of Gao Chun, but I want to be worthy of myself and my own conscience!Guzi, I don't want to force you, you can stop here, and I will do the rest by myself! Gu Zi was silent for a moment, lowered his tone, and said dully: Today, I also went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau... He paused, Zhou Xin stared at him, and asked: "How is it? Is there any other company called Encyclopedia?" ? Gu Zi nodded first and then shook his head: Today I went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau first, but they didn't check for me.They said what procedures are needed to investigate the company, but they didn't provide any information after talking for a long time.

I checked on the computer in the business hall of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, but I couldn't even find the encyclopedia company you work for. Zhou Xin was extremely anxious, and asked: Can I find someone who knows the Bureau of Industry and Commerce? Gu Zi was depressed, but answered: It turns out that Lao Hou had a relative who said he worked for the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. Yes, I'll ask him tomorrow. " Zhou Xin said: Today I went to the school where Professor Jiang taught again. There is no one in the school who still has contact with Professor Jiang.I went to Professor Jiang's house at the address that Gao Chun told me and asked two neighbors. The neighbors said that it seemed that Professor Jiang hadn't come back for many years.I went to find Director You who the old abbot mentioned, but there was no clue.

Guzi said without emotion: Didn't he go to live in the mountains? Zhou Xin said to himself: If a person can endure loneliness, what kind of realm should he be in? When this topic comes to this point, the two of them can no longer find anything to talk about.Guzi stood up in a low mood and said: I am tired, I will take a bath, it is getting late, you should go to bed earlier. Gu Zi walked towards his bedroom. When he pushed open his door, Zhou Xin stopped him from behind: Gu Zi! Gu Zi stopped and didn't look back. Zhou Xin didn't come forward either, she was still sitting there, she didn't even raise her eyes, but just turned her voice to Guzi: Guzi, I need you to help me, help me again, is that okay?

Gu Zi replied: I will ask Lao Hou tomorrow, but I hope that his relative is the head of Wu in the Industry and Commerce Bureau. Guzi walked into the bedroom, and before the door closed, Zhou Xin called him back again.Gu Zi still didn't turn around, but this time, he seemed to be able to feel that Zhou Xin's gaze had fallen on his back, and he faintly felt the burning heat in that gaze. Guzi, do you still remember a disc we watched before? An American film called "The Male and Female Thieves", in which there are a couple of lovers, they fly over the roof... Guzi's hand closing the door stopped, his back was like A strong clay statue, full of power, but still.As for the clues about Gao Chun's father, only Professor Jiang is the lingering figure.Professor Jiang has lost contact with his original unit long ago, and no one knows where his relatives and friends are. The only person who had close contact with him during his lifetime was the place where he lived alone.Professor Jiang traveled down the mountain a year ago from that courtyard that seemed to have been deserted since ancient times, and has never returned since then.So the courtyard was abandoned behind the ancient temple on the empty mountain by the lake, with mottled white walls, roads covered by weeds, occasional birds, and no trace of people.

One year later, on this night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and two figures suddenly turned up in the half-light of the courtyard wall throughout the ages.They helped each other and turned into the courtyard. The sound of sharp blades moving magnetically on the glass was like a fly in the ears. The glass on the window was quickly cut a neat hole, and the black shadow quickly jumped into the house. Sweeping intently in every corner of the room, Yuan Xin scanned each other's faces, and could recognize this pair of male and female thieves, they were Gu Zi and Zhou Xin. They rummaged through the owner's desk and wardrobe, and searched for the sundries under the bed one by one.There were some agricultural tools and the like piled up in the storage room on the side of the house, and the flashlight shook it left and right, but the light did not enter.The intruders found a stack of large and small envelopes and paper bags in a drawer under a bookcase, and they opened them one by one for inspection. Most of the contents were irrelevant, except for the three large characters of the notarial certificate on the cover of a document in a brown paper bag. O moved the notarial certificate to reveal another document, and another two large characters hit her eyes. Those two words made Zhou Xin realize that she was close to the truth, and the truth meant Gao Chun's new life!

--------will! Zhou Xin didn't look at the content of the will. She couldn't wait to turn to the last page of the will. The signature on the last page made Zhou Xin hardly believe her eyes! The testator's signature was trembling, but it was clearly legible The block letters imitate the Song Dynasty, and the flashlight beam clearly illuminates the name taboo in black and white --- the three big characters of Cai Baike are shocking! Both Zhou Xin and Gu Zi walked into a notary office for the first time in their lives. Words like notarization were unfamiliar to them before.Here they successfully found the two notaries who handled the notarization of the will. The explanations of the notaries made the whole incident gradually clear!

Although Mr. Cai Baike has long since ceased to be the legal representative of Baike Investment Company, he is still a major shareholder of the company.He made this will after he was diagnosed with cancer last year. Since the property handling in the will involves his illegitimate child Gao Chun, the testator does not want his daughter Cai Dongping to know the content of the will prematurely, so he appointed Mr. Jiang Dacheng is the keeper and executor of the will, so as to supervise the execution of the will after his death.As for whether Cai Baike has passed away or whether he knows that his trustee Jiang Dacheng has died unexpectedly, we don't know these circumstances.Since you are representatives of the son of Cai Baibai, one of the beneficiaries of this will, you can go and find out the situation. If Cai Baibai is still alive, wouldn’t their father and son just meet again? In the presence of two calm and experienced notaries In front of her, Zhou Xin was like a child listening to a story. She stared blankly at the will and notarized documents on the table, unable to sort out all the clues for a while.

Gao Chun always thought that his father's name was Gao Longsheng, but he didn't know that his father's surname was actually Cai.The notary replied proficiently: As far as we know, Cai Baike's original name was Gao Longsheng, and Cai Baike was his name changed when he got married.On the other hand, Gu Zi asked a more practical question with the rationality and pragmatism of a man: We want to know about the current situation of Cai Baike, that is, Gao Chun's father, where can we find out? Is it true that only the Public Security Bureau knows whether he is dead or not? Live? The notary said: Not necessarily, you can at least go to Encyclopedia to ask.As far as we know, the current person in charge of Baike is Cai Baike's son-in-law. He must know his father-in-law's current physical condition.Even ordinary employees in the company should know whether their major shareholder is still alive.If it is not convenient to go to the company to ask, you, as the representatives of Cai Baike’s son, and as the trustee of Mr. Jiang Dacheng, you can also go directly to Cai Baike’s home and ask. Once you know that Cai Baike has passed away, this will can be executed immediately. up.

Every family has a complicated history. Gao Chun set off from Yunlang a year ago to visit his ancestors to find his ancestors. His life and death.Zhou Xin became Gao Chun's representative without hesitation. She never expected that her fate would be arranged in such a way that she would switch her roles in a strange way between the two generations of rulers of Encyclopedia. She asked Gu Zi to accompany her, and went to Cai Baibai's house first.Cai Baike's home is also Lu Ziqiang's home.Lu Ziqiang has pursued Zhou Xin for a long time, but if it wasn't for Gao Chun's guidance, Zhou Xin would have no idea where Lu Ziqiang would return at night. That home is the No. 3 courtyard of Renli Hutong that Gao Chun found after following Lu Ziqiang.This is the first time Zhou Xin has entered a pure Beijing courtyard house. Before that, she didn't know that such a quiet courtyard could be hidden in a corner of the bustling and crowded city.Qinglong Baihu, Zhuque Xuanwu, Shangmashi, Baogudun, traditional regulations are all available.She and Guzi rang the doorbell, and they could hear the ringtone was far away, enough to measure the vastness and depth of the rich gate. After waiting for a long time, the small window on the door was opened, and a young man with a thick voice pressed against the window and asked: Who are you looking for? Zhou Xin came here out of righteousness, and answered calmly: Is Mr. Cai Baike there? The young man is obviously just a porter. Cai Baike's three words weakened his momentum: May I ask where you are from? "I'm from Encyclopedia, I need him urgently. May I have your last name? My name is Zhou Xin. The young man said: Please wait a moment.He closed the small window.Three minutes later, maybe four or five minutes later, the courtyard door opened, revealing the long and narrow front yard first.At the end of the line of sight, shaded by greenery, a moon cave gate blocks people's eyes.Zhou Xinguzi followed behind the young concierge, and entered the main courtyard through the hanging flower gate in the front yard.The four corners of the main courtyard are red flowers and green leaves of crape myrtle and magnolia, and red tiles and green pillars in the corridor. Those who know how to know it should be clear at a glance. The layout and decoration of this courtyard are by no means imitated by private houses, and it is obviously the style and specifications of the palace. They stepped on the golden brick courtyard, walked through the winding corridors, and were led into the living room by the porter.From the front of the living room, you can see a large garden with small bridges and flowing water, stacked mountains and rocks, shady bamboos and trees with twists and turns that are beyond your imagination. Unless you are there, it is hard to expect that there is something unique in the crowded city. In the living room, sofas and Ming-style armchairs are placed in random order, not as practical seats but as ornamental furnishings.Zhou Xin and Gu Zi sat down on the two armchairs, and immediately felt the chair surface was cold, and there was a kind of bone-chilling exhilaration.After a while, the young porter left and returned from the garden, followed by a pink woman in her thirties.From the graceful and somewhat arrogant gait of the woman, Zhou Xin guessed that she was the one he was looking for. The woman came into the room and saw Zhou Xin standing up from the chair. She was not very polite. She looked up and down, and her eyes were short-sighted: You are Zhou Xin? I have heard your name for a long time! Zhou Xin is also straightforward, without further greetings: You are Cai Baike Sir's daughter? I need to talk to you about something. What Zhou Xin was looking for was Cai Baike's daughter, Lu Ziqiang's wife, Cai Dongping who had never been seen in Baike's company.Cai Dongping didn't answer the conversation, her demeanor was still slow: I asked the master to tell my fortune a long time ago, saying that when Lu Ziqiang was forty-one years old, he would meet a goblin.A master is a master, and you can't accept it.The Bone Demon has changed thirty-six times, and this time he has become a painter. Before Zhou Xin could answer, Gu Zi was the first to swear at each other: Hey, please be more civilized when you speak! Gu Zi's reaction caused Cai Dongping's gaze to shift to his face, but the sneer in his tone remained unchanged, and his direction was still directed at Zhou Xin.What, this is your new boyfriend? It looks like he's also an artist.The master said earlier that if a man marries a woman, he should be of the right family.It's also my fault that I didn't listen to people's advice at the time, a cat like Lu Ziqiang who came from a small family, no matter how well fed it is, it will still steal fish.Zhou Xin met the sneer on the other side, and used offense as defense: did the master tell you, what is the purpose of my coming today? Cai Dongping slowly approached Zhou Xin. In comparison, her figure was a bit short and she had begun to put on weight.She said coldly: No matter how Lu Ziqiang steals, I will ignore it.Because the master said long ago that sooner or later he would be destroyed by the goblin, I just didn't expect it to be so soon.Lu Ziqiang is a capable person, and he could have sold his life for our encyclopedia company for a few more years, but now he has to change to someone else.As soon as I guessed, you would come to me. You probably want to tell me about you and Lu Ziqiang. Unfortunately, it's too late. Whether you hook up or turn against each other, it's not news to me. Zhou Xin's face was solemn and his tone was calm: You guessed right, what I'm here to tell you today is not about Lu Ziqiang, but about you, about your Cai family. Our Cai family, what is the relationship between our Cai family and you? Zhou Xin could see it, the surprise on Cai Dongping's face could hardly be concealed with a sneer.Zhou Xin knew that what she was about to say would wipe away the sneer that was still hanging on that face. You have a half-brother who is the flesh and blood of your Cai family. He is seriously ill now and needs your help.You are his family and he needs your help.Cai Dongping was really stunned, the condition on her face could really be described as stunned.Her gaze then shifted to Gu Zi, obviously thinking that Gu Zi was her compatriot.She didn't know how to react for a moment, she could only cover up her shock subconsciously! ... Nonsense! You are talking nonsense... Zhou Xin slowed down her tone, she hoped her tone could incite the power of family affection: Your younger brother is named Gao Chun, who just turned 22 years old this year.He broke his leg and just had an operation. He is still lying in the hospital, and his injury may worsen at any time.You are his only relatives, only you can help him! Cai Dongping tried to stay calm, but when the words came out of her mouth, she suddenly became hysterical: You, you said that I have a younger brother, and you said that my younger brother is only 22 years old? Humph, I will soon be so old when I want a son, and you want to blackmail him Just make up the story? But you're in the wrong place when it comes to extortion.Xiao Zhang! She called to the young concierge: Send them out! After Cai Dongping finished speaking, she turned and walked out the door. The young concierge came up to signal to see off the guests. Zhou Xin shouted at Cai Dongping's back: Hey, your brother is in Guangming Hospital, don't you want to go and see him? Cai Dongping continued to walk out, at the same time yelling angrily: Let them out! Let them go! Let all the messy people in! Before the lingering sound of her yelling was over, the door of the living room opened, and several men strode in. , the one headed by Zhou Xin collided with each other's eyes, and each other's eyes stared into sparks.It was Lu Ziqiang himself who came in. Enemy Road is narrow. Lu Ziqiang never expected that Zhou Xin would encounter disaster in his home.Behind him were Sun Bold and several of his thugs. Seeing Zhou Xin throwing himself into the trap, they all stared at him.They confronted each other, and even Sun Bold was not sure how to deal with such a scene.And the real owner of this deep house compound stopped in front of the living room door, her attitude towards Lu Ziqiang was no more tender than towards Zhou Xin. Lu Ziqiang, this lady is your assistant, right?Please ask her to get out of here.Didn't I tell you that the only thing that can keep me quiet now is this courtyard, if you don't even give me this little quiet, then get out of here too! Lu Ziqiang looked at his wife in front of the door, and then at Zhou Xin in front of him. He didn't know how to attack him, how to endure it.Among the three, Zhou Xin was the calmest. She ended this unexpected visit with a few words that showed neither emotion nor anger. I say goodbye.She said this to Lu Ziqiang, and also to his thugs. You wait for a lawyer! This was said to Cai Dongping. After finishing talking, she went out, together with Gu Zi, from this living room, from the main entrance of this yard, and walked out! I don't know if it was because Zhou Xin just spent all the fees paid by Zhou Xin, and Gao Chun was treated in the hospital. Most of the medicines in the hospital were suddenly stopped, and Jun Jun looked at the few poor pills that were barely kept in the small medicine Gu, and asked a patrolling nurse.The nurse went straight to the point: the medicines still in reserve are anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medicines, and the hospital gave you money to prescribe them.Hurry up and ask your family to send money, or you will not be allowed to live in a few days, ah! The attitude of the nurse made Jun Jun feel ashamed. He looked at the patients on the left and the relatives who accompanied the bed, and the patients and relatives on the left and right were also looking at her.That kind of gaze makes Jun Jun feel how shameful it is to be poor for the first time.She lowered her head and turned her face to look at Gao Chun on the hospital bed. The pain and high fever had paralyzed Gao Chun's nerves. The second time Zhou Xin walked into the No. 3 courtyard of Renli Hutong was a few days later at noon. Invite a lawyer. The lawyer came here in defense of the law, and had to be admitted into the living room by the owner of the mansion. Apart from that, there was no other courtesy, no greetings, and no tea.The master's stern face may be common to lawyers, and after taking his seat, he went straight to the point and spoke out. I am the lawyer hired by Gao Chun, the illegitimate child of your father Cai Baike. We are here today to arrange a meeting between my client and his father, Mr. Cai Baike.As a blood relative of my client, we hope you can understand his family affection and provide necessary assistance. Cai Dongping's emotions are not as intense as they were a few days ago, but her attitude is as firm as ever: I don't have this younger brother, nor does my father have this son, and I'm not interested in hearing you tell me this bizarre story! It hit me like a ghost, and I got involved in all the unexplainable things! The lawyer's tone remained calm: If you have any objection to the authenticity of my client's blood relationship, you can apply for a DNA test. DNA testing as... Can I apply? Cai Dongping didn't allow the lawyer to continue: I didn't want to admit it. What brother and brother, I’m fine, so why do I have to check the DNA! The lawyer’s speech was interrupted for no reason, and he still acted calmly and continued: If you don’t want to apply for a test, you can also ask the court from us. submit application.If you really have objections to the blood relationship of my client, then either of us has the right to apply for a paternity test. Even if he is identified, we will not admit it! He has not lived in our Cai family for a day, and he has not shown filial piety to my father. Why should I admit him? Why should I admit him? admitted or denied by either party.Moreover, my client did not fulfill his filial piety to his biological father, and should not bear any responsibility.On the contrary, since his father gave birth to him, he should fulfill the responsibility of raising him.As for whether his father, that is, Mr. Cai Baike, has fulfilled this responsibility, it is not a topic we are going to discuss today.Now I just want to see Mr. Cai Baibaike in person, tell him the wishes of my client in person, and then arrange for their father and son to be reunited as soon as possible.Because in accordance with the provisions of our country's laws, children born out of wedlock and children born in wedlock enjoy exactly the same rights. Cai Dongping's face turned from white to red, and then from red to purple. She stood up from the sofa and said with uneven breath: Don't talk to me about rights or rights. You should leave me immediately! This is my home, let you It is my right to come in and blow you out! Leave! You need to talk to my lawyer in the future! Zhou Xin was always listening, so he couldn't help but interjected: Ms. Cai, as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. I think you don't have many relatives in this world.I don't understand why you are so cruel to your own brother.Don't you have any compassion when he needs the help of his relatives the most? There must be some morality in being a human being! Cai Dongping stopped going out, and cast her eyes on Zhou Xin, full of new and old hatred: Miss Zhou, if you want to talk to me about the morality of being a human being, you have no right at all.You seduce my husband is your morality? You can do all kinds of despicable things for money, and you don’t feel irritable when people piss on your face! It’s your morality? Now get me a younger brother.Aren't you just doing it for money? As the saying goes: A gentleman loves money in a proper way! If you do this, it is your morality? You don't have to talk about morality with me with a straight face! Leave, ah! Xiao Zhang ,see a visitor out! Cai Dongping turned to go out, and the young concierge immediately entered the house, waving his hands to drive them out: "Let's go, let's go, do you hear me?" Zhou Xin wanted to rush up to stop Cai Dongping from continuing to argue, but the lawyer raised his hand to stop them.The lawyer asked the last question to Cai Dongping's back, and this last question once again stopped Cai Dongping in his footsteps. Ms. Cai, may I ask, is your father, Mr. Cai Baike, still alive? Cai Dongping’s voice trembled: Did you ever speak like that? Are you talking like a human being? Which law firm do you belong to? I want to sue you! The lawyer has no fear: If you do not answer me directly, then I am very sorry, we will apply to the people's court in accordance with the law, requesting the court to determine the life and health of Mr. Cai Baibaike in order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of my client.I'm sure you don't want us to do this, do you? Cai Dongping was tongue-tied, either angry, or flustered, losing her voice for a moment.Zhou Xin and the lawyer's eyes were equally firm, staring at the helpless face. It took some time before the confrontation was broken by Cai Dongping's roar. Get out! Get out! The lawyer smiled lightly, and said with the ease and generosity of the winner: There will be a period later.And before the master, he walked out of the living room first. Zhou Xin also walked out of the living room, but she was not relaxed.Until she left this deep house compound and got into the lawyer's car, she was still unable to hold herself in a mood of anger and disappointment.She has returned home twice with no results, and Cai Dongping's arrogance remains the same.The lawyer's tone was calm, and he said the next move with a businesslike demeanor. Now, the only way to compel the investigation of Cai Baike's situation is through the court, if he is really dead.We also need to investigate the property situation of Baike Company and Cai Baike personally to determine how much inheritance your friend can get. Mentioning Encyclopedia, Zhou Xin was silent for a moment, and she said: Encyclopedia...maybe it's over. Encyclopedia is really over. On the day when Encyclopedia collapsed, Zhou Xin's mother returned to the building. She was sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by her daughter, and entered calmly from under the golden signboard of Baike, and no one was fortified.Because this day was also the day of the joint seizure operation by the tax department and the public security department, the corridors of the entire company were in chaos, almost every office was in a mess, and the sealed financial statements and business files were piled up in a hill.Under the supervision of tax officials and the police, the company's employees packed up their personal belongings in a panic and prepared to evacuate.There was a solemn smile on Zhou Xin's face, while her mother looked around like a baby... No one cared about their drive in the chaos, and no one recognized who the woman with empty eyes in the wheelchair was.Perhaps this woman has changed beyond recognition, and no one realizes that she was once a staff member here when the wheelchair passed the office of the finance department.But she seemed to be aware of something, her face was tilted, trembling slightly, her eyes were fixed on the door plate of the finance department, she seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't put it into words. The wheelchair continued forward, and it was the room Zhou Xin was most familiar with. She used to be a staff member in that room. The door on the left was Lu Ziqiang's office, and the small door on the right was the secretary's office where she worked.The door was opened at this moment, and Lu Ziqiang was escorted out by several policemen. The gazes of Zhou Xin's mother and daughter intercepted them head-on, and Lu Ziqiang was in a panic.Zhou Xin saw that Lu Ziqiang's hands were already put on shiny handcuffs.The handcuffs are a symbol of the fulfillment of the vow she made when she walked into the building a year ago. Lu Ziqiang was escorted past them. Neither Zhou Xin nor his mother looked back. They stared at the open door for a long time.At that moment, the eyes full of perception and those without perception are so similar that it is difficult to describe them in words. The staff stood in front of the hanging flower door and stopped taking half a step back: I'm sorry, Boss Cai is very uncomfortable today, he has already fallen asleep, and now he can't see people, and the doctor can't do it... The judge lost his patience after being blocked repeatedly, and began to warn blockers sternly Suspected of obstructing justice: Let me tell you, we are the people's courts that perform official duties according to the law. Your behavior is obstruction of justice, and obstruction of justice constitutes a crime. Do you understand? Where is Cai Dongping, tell her to come out! This kind of behavior of yours He will be punished by the law! The young concierge ran towards him when he heard the sound, and when he saw that Zhou Xin was looking for trouble again, he stepped forward without knowing how to do it, pushing the judge and the doctor out and shouting: "Go, go, go, what?" Let’s make trouble again, didn’t I tell you that you can’t see anyone if you are sick! Let’s go, let’s go, if we don’t go, we will call the police! During the push, the judge became angry, and in a rage, he said in a high voice: what are you doing! Ah? You are flouting the law, but you will have to pay the price! I warn you, your actions have constituted obstruction of justice, and I will ask you again ...You let go! Let go of your hands! Let me ask you again, are you going to let me see you? Don’t let me see you, okay! Let’s go! The leading judge walked out of the court first. The young concierge was reckless and ignorant, and shouted loudly behind him: I didn't break the law. I'm afraid of you. Your court can enter people's homes at will. Great! But the cadre of the company already showed fear, and tried to ease the situation by pulling the judge. Come back in two days, our boss Cai will probably feel better in two days, I will definitely tell the boss about your coming... The judge's face is livid: two days? I will come tomorrow! I will come tomorrow The one who came to take you away, and you! The judge pointed at the porter: Your behavior today has been suspected of committing a crime, and none of you can escape! What happened to me today? I didn’t do anything... The company cadres don’t know well, follow me The judge explained, "This is all the idea of ​​the boss's family, and I can't help it."Judges, doctors, lawyers, Zhou Xin and others walked towards the gate of the courtyard with glaring eyes. A woman's voice suddenly came from behind: "Wait a minute! Zhou Xin didn't need to turn his head to hear that Cai Dongping probably couldn't hold back anymore, and finally appeared.The judge stopped, and looked back, Cai Dongping was standing on the steps of the main room door, with a cold face and hatred in her eyes, she was not staring at the judge, but Zhou Xin behind the judge. You want to see my father? Well, see you.The door behind her opened, and as her words fell, a wheelchair was slowly pushed out from the shadows of the house.The pusher was a strong woman, about the same age as Cai Dongping, with a fiercer expression than Cai Dongping.Her eyes swept over Zhou Xin's face without stopping, but Zhou Xin's eyes were all focused on the sick old man in the wheelchair.The old man should be Cai Baibai, whose name he has heard for a long time but has never seen him. He should be the Gao Longsheng that Gao Chun traveled all the way to Beijing to find. Cai Baibai was neatly dressed and covered his neck with a shriveled figure, waxy complexion, sunken eye sockets and cloudy eyes.But his gaze seemed to be among the crowd, and he caught Zhou Xin at once.The tough-looking woman pushed him into the yard, and the sunshine in the yard made him feel more energetic.His eyes also moved from Zhou Xin's face to the surroundings, and then he saw his doctor.The doctor came forward and greeted: Boss Cai, are you feeling better these days? Do you feel okay? Are you still unwilling to be hospitalized? Cai Baike nodded dumbly, not knowing which sentence he agreed with the doctor.The judge took the time to step forward and said: Are you Mr. Cai Baibai? I am from the District People's Court, and my surname is Luo.How are you doing now? May I ask you a question now? Cai Baibai's expression was dull, but the judge still saw that his head nodded slightly, so he continued: We need to talk to you alone, the doctor can be present, it won't be long, can you? Cai Baike nodded clearly this time, the judge straightened up and ordered Cai Dongping like a master: Please push your father into the room, we need to talk alone.Cai Dongping hesitated for a moment, and together with the strong woman, pushed her father into a room on the side. Under the judge's cold gaze, she reluctantly left together with the woman.In the room, only two judges and a doctor were left, and the lawyer invited by Zhou Xin also entered the room with the judge's permission.The judge was in this room and asked Cai Baike as follows: Please take a look, this is a will you made in January last year, with a notarial certificate issued by the Great Wall Notary Office, please confirm that it is this will ? Cai Baike was weak, but conscious. He briefly read the text of the will in the judge's hand, and then nodded in confirmation. The judge raised his head and said to the doctor: I'm done asking. In fact, when the judge saw Cai Baike appearing, their mission had been completed. Their mission here is to check whether the testator is still alive.The lawyer took up the conversation without losing the opportunity, stepped forward and said: Mr. Cai, have you entrusted a Mr. Jiang Dacheng to look for your son? Do you know that Mr. Jiang Dacheng passed away in a car accident a year ago? But your son, he has found it for you. Cai Baibai's eyes suddenly froze, and a ray of light emerged from the darkness. His throat gurgled, as if he was trying to get rid of the obstruction of suffocating phlegm. He finally sent his hoarse voice out of his chest, which made the lawyer overjoyed. '...where am I, my son...? After the lawyer and Cai Baike started talking, the judges had already stepped out of the room, and Cai Dongping immediately entered with the tough woman, asking questions about her father's body.But the lawyer still insisted on his own topic, and asked questions amid Cai Dongping's greetings one after another: Mr. Cai Baibai, your son is in Beijing now, and we can arrange for you to meet.If you think it is necessary, we can also arrange for him to do a DNA paternity test first. Do you need to do this test? Cai Dongping interrupted the lawyer roughly, not allowing the lawyer's questioning to continue: Don't talk to him anymore, can't you see that he can no longer speak! Sister Sun, push my dad back to the bedroom! She directed the woman to push the wheelchair away, and Cai Baike suddenly straightened up in the wheelchair, tilted her head and tried to find the lawyer with her eyes, and at the same time made a hoarse voice again: "My son, where is it... Zhou Xin, who just walked into the room, rushed past Cai Dongping and the staff of Encyclopedia Company blocked him, quickly rushed to the wheelchair, squatted down and said eagerly: He is in Beijing, your son in Beijing, he has been looking for you for a year! Cai Dongping was furious and yelled: Get them all out! Who let them in! The staff and the young concierge stepped forward to pull Zhou Xin up, and Zhou Xin grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair with all his strength: Mr. Cai, do you want to see your Son? He is seriously ill! He is seriously ill now! He is your son, can you help him? Cai Dongping also rushed up and pulled Zhou Xin, trying to lift her from the ground and pull her away from Cai Baibai's lap .The lawyer just stepped forward to make an argument: You asked her to finish her sentence...you were also pushed aside by that strong woman.The scene is a bit chaotic.But what happened next made Cai Dongping stunned. When she pulled Zhou Xin up, she suddenly saw that Zhou Xin's arm was tightly held by her father. She could see the blue veins on his father's hand, winding under the pale skin. Maybe she realized that what she was wrestling with was not the young Zhou Xin, but her dying father. She let go of her hand, and she couldn't stop Zhou Xin from saying what she wanted to say. Mr. Cai, your son is in Beijing! He was brought to Beijing by Mr. Jiang Dacheng, and he was looking for you in Beijing! He is seriously ill now, and only you can save him. Do you want your son to live? Where is he? He is in the hospital. If you want to see him, we can bring him here right away.Cai Baike let go of Zhou Xin's hand suddenly, and although his breath was weak, his voice seemed hoarse: You... who are you? I am... I am a friend of your son. Are you his...girlfriend? Zhou Xin didn't know how to answer her identity. She was about to shake her head when Cai Baike's skinny hands grabbed her arms again: Come here...you, are you my future daughter-in-law? Come here...you take me Go, see my son... Zhou Xin was suddenly moved by this dying father. Cai Baibai's voice, movements, and every tremor of that dry skeleton moved Zhou Xin deeply. She said: OK, I will take you there to see your son! Of course, it was impossible for Cai Baike to follow Zhou Xin to see his son, as his physical condition did not allow him to stay out of bed for too long.Gao Chun also had a high fever in those days, his mind fluctuated, and he couldn't leave the hospital's supervision for a while, so although the father and son were close in front of them, they couldn't recognize each other for the time being.When Gao Chun was awake for a moment, Zhou Xin used a DV camera to take some shots of him. She guessed that Cai Baike must be eager to see his son as soon as possible, even though Gao Chun was already sickly. Although the father and son have not met, but the father's support has been sent to the hospital.High-purity medication was restored and was transferred to a single ward.The ward not only has ample space, but also has complete facilities. You don’t need to lie beside the bed to do your homework. The ward not only has a table and sofa, but also a TV, a refrigerator, and a separate bathroom. It is as comfortable and convenient as a high-end hotel. In order to make Gao Chun look as energetic as possible, Zhou Xin tidied his hair, scrubbed his face, helped him lean on the pillow, and took pictures of different sides of his illness before the shooting.Gao Chun in the camera is thin and haggard, sluggish, but still handsome and young. Smile, smile, let your father see how happy you are! Zhou Xin is holding the DV player, changing heights, directing the expression on Gao Chun’s face, are you unhappy to find your father? Junjun,你往那边点……君君抱着作业本挪了挪地方,让周欣无碍地拍摄高纯:高纯哥跟他爸又没见过,没见过肯定没啥感情,没感情肯定笑不出来的。君君说: 对吧高纯? 高纯没答,咧开嘴做出笑容,笑了一下又收了回去,他问:我爸,他会来看我吗?周欣并未挪开眼前的DV,边拍边答:他身体不行,出不了门。你赶快治好你的病,等你能活动了,我就带你去见你爸。 高纯问:我爸,他病很重吗? 周欣答:有点吧,不过还行,还管我叫儿媳妇呢,都把我当成你女朋友啦。 高纯问:他……他问我妈了吗? 周欣把DV机从眼前挪开,看着高纯,斟酌着回答:他……身体不好,不能多说话。不过能看出来他很想你,你看,他一下就把你治病的钱送到医院来啦,所以你一定要好好治病,快点了台好,治好你就能见到你爸爸了。 高纯说:你拍我给我爸看,那能不能把他也拍下来,带给我看看?周欣停止了拍摄,答:我争取吧。不过你那个姐姐,也许她并不一定希望你爸爸见到你吧。我争取吧。高纯连疑惑都显得有气无力:我姐姐,为什么不希望我爸见我,是因为我妈?周欣含糊其辞:也许……你爸身体不好,你姐不想让他太激动吧。再说,你们家是有产业的,有产阶级的家庭会有什么想法我就说不清了,以后你自己慢慢了解,慢慢就会清楚了吧。高纯不再说话。 周欣现在最盼望的,就是高纯能够康复。高纯因她而伤,因伤而病,所以一旦落下残疾,这个心理压力,必将随她一生。高纯父亲的钱汇入医院后,周欣又向主治医生做了多次探询,但从医生的口气上听,高纯的伤情病况,仍然不容乐观。 他的左腿的腔骨、腊骨和酣骨都有多处不同程度的骨折和骨裂。 右腿的腔骨和骸骨,也就是膝盖骨,都是粉碎性骨折。骨折嘛本来很好治,我们的处理也是得当的,但毕竟因为病人的治疗费用一直拖欠,所以治疗上有些药用的迟了。后来发现他的体内有病毒感染,这些天病人天天发烧,有时神志不清,就是体内炎症所致。现在当务之急不是治疗骨伤,而是要尽快退烧消炎。不尽早退烧消炎,还有可能引发其他病症。 周欣说:现在我们的钱已经到了,医生,你们有什么好药都给他用吧,钱用完了我们再付! 医生说:没有钱治不了病,但是,钱也不能包治百病。他现在几种病症胶着在一起,需要辨证施治。目前他的体质太弱,又不吃东西,这可能和他的精神状态有关。他过去是跳舞的,跳舞是他的理想,所以他的腿伤给他的精神打击,可能比普通患者要大得多了。你们要多做思想开导工作,他精神如果崩溃了,身体的抵抗力和免疫力也就会跟着崩溃。 医生说得心平气和,周欣却听得心惊肉跳。她似乎至此才更加明白那句人生至理,钱并不是万能的。但医生下面的叮问又让她同时明白:没有钱是万万不能的。 下一步的治疗肯定会比较复杂,你们在费用方面肯定没问题了吧? 尽管高纯父子尚未相见,但既然已经相认,按理说费用问题应该没问题了。但面对医生的叮问,周欣只是在喉咙里含混地唔了一声,并未爽快答应。医生似也看出了她的迟疑,只补了一句:反正你们做好准备吧,并不多言。 周欣也反复分析眼前的局面,她也知道,父子相认,并不意味着高纯已经成为蔡家的一员,更不意味着高纯今后的病养死葬,都已后顾元忧。接下来的几天,周欣和她请来的那位律师代表高纯,与蔡东萍及蔡东萍的律师又进行了几次艰苦的交涉,在高纯作为蔡百科血缘子嗣没有争议的前提下,就蔡百科遗嘱的落实问题,讨价还价,反复相持。 高纯一方律师的观点是:既然高纯已被蔡百科确定为遗产的合法继承人之一,而蔡百科又已同意公开他的遗嘱内容,所以有必要尽快委托专业机构对蔡百科的遗产数量、范围和价值,进行详细的核查,并予以适当的保全。 而蔡东萍的律师则认为:所谓遗产,是指立嘱人死亡后的个人财产。现在立嘱人并未死亡,所以也就谈不上什么遗产,更不存在继承问题。如果在立嘱人死亡之前清查立嘱人的财产,只有立嘱人自己做出决定,才能进行。 在讨论中周欣曾经提议:可否由律师出面向蔡百科先生提出提前核查财产的建议,以取得蔡百科的同意。但她的建议立即被蔡东萍严厉否决。蔡东萍表示就算她的父亲同意核查财产她也不会同意的。人还没死就想分他的财产,你们也太缺德了吧。缺德的人,得了财也不得好死! 蔡东萍习惯出口伤人,周欣为顾大局也只能忍耐。那次交锋之后双方律师又见了几次面,每次见面都是无果而终。谈判既入僵局,谈无可谈,便中断了一段时间,双方律师都在暗中准备新的对策,新的方案。周欣于是得以每天往返于医院与画坊之间,照顾高纯,也兼顾着筹备正在争取中的长城画展。独术画坊委托的法籍艺术品经纪人正在向欧洲文化协会申请画展的支持及赞助,并请专业摄影师拍下画作的照片,制成电子文件传送到国外的相关机构,以供选选和评判。送出的画作有周欣作的一幅《箭扣岭》,画的是箭扣长城叹为观止的陡峭和惊险。
