The black Maybach left.
In the distance, Su Chen looked in the direction of Elder Nie’s funeral.
Out of respect, he slowly bowed in the direction of the tombstone and left.
The third mission was complete.
Compared to the previous two missions, he felt that he had produced a far more mysterious atmosphere this time.
Perhaps it was because he knew that Old Nie had a bland past.
The funeral was about to end.
Nie Xing had fallen unconscious. His relatives and friends had rushed forward to check on him and sent him to the hospital.
…
When he woke up again, he was in the ward, surrounded by the faint smell of medicine.
It was a little bitter.
Those relatives and friends had already left. Only Little Wang was here to help look after him.
Little Wang, who was watching his phone with his head lowered, did not realize that he had already woken up.
“Water!”
Nie Xing shouted out a word with difficulty, and his throat felt like it was about to flare up.
His hand trembled as he reached out, wanting to grab the cup of water on the table.
“Ah? You’re awake!”
“I’ll get it, I’ll get it!”
Little Wang looked up and was immediately shocked. He hurriedly picked up the cup and handed it to him.
He helped Nie Xing sit up and drink the water.
Nie Xing, who looked pale and powerless, drank the entire cup of water in one gulp.
He still felt a little thirsty.
Little Wang continued to pour water for him.
“The funeral?”
Nie Xing finally calmed down a little and hurriedly asked.
He took the cup of water from Little Wang again. As he drank, he looked at Little Wang.
“It’s been a few days. What are you trying to do?” Little Wang sighed and said helplessly.
As he looked upon Nie Xing’s sickly state, he grew confused. He had been cold-hearted for the past three years. Why was he acting like a filial son during the few days of the funeral?
He was already dead, but Nie Xing had become filial instead.
What was the point of being filial to a dead man?
His plight made his relatives and friends unwilling to come and take care of him. If he had not stayed back, no one would have been by his side.
“A few days ago?! Was I out for so long?”
Nie Xing found it a little incredulous. His memory even remained on the day of the funeral.
Looking at his somewhat dazed eyes, Little Wang comforted him.
“Yeah, you fainted for two days. You didn’t eat any oil or salt. It’s all because of the glucose! Your body is very weak now. Wait here, I’ll find some food for you to eat!”
As he said that, he was about to get up to find some food.
Nie Xing quickly stopped him.
“Wait, has there been any news these two days?”
“News? What news?”
Little Wang was stunned. He was already so sick, what news would he care about?
Could it be that he had been sleeping soundly for the past two days?
He immediately said, “If you’re not feeling well, I’ll call a doctor for you. Don’t scare me like that!”
“No, it’s fine!”
Nie Xing waved his hand weakly and did not stop him.
He did not care about why his relatives and friends did not come to see him.
After Little Wang left, he turned his head to look at the bedside table.
There was a newspaper on it that had been placed there by someone.
He quickly picked it up and looked at the time carefully. It was the newspaper from two days ago. The news he was looking out for was not there.
His cellphone had mysteriously gone missing. He searched for a long time but could not find it.
He was helpless. He was so weak that he could not get off the ground.
As he lay on the hospital bed, he looked at the facilities in the ward with a complicated gaze. The conditions here were much better than three years ago!
The country had changed a lot during these three years. It was a pity that he had been isolated from the world for three years and could not participate in the changes and feel the beauty of all this.
However, what he had done was far more meaningful than indulging himself in some comfort!
A moment later, a nurse came over.
She heard that Nie Xing had woken up and came to check on his condition.
The nurse wore a mask, so her face could not be seen clearly. However, judging from her exposed features, she had to be a delicate and pretty girl.
She walked forward and asked seriously, “You’re awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Nie Xing shook his head. His face was still a little pale.
He could not help but ask, “Excuse me, do you have today’s newspaper?”
“Newspaper? Who still reads newspapers nowadays? Everything is on the phone!”
The nurse found it a little strange, so she answered him casually. After confirming that he was fine, she reminded him again, “Your body is still too weak. Pay attention to your diet, and don’t eat anything too oily during this period of time!”
“Okay, then where is my phone?”
Nie Xing nodded and continued to ask.
Looking at his absent-minded face, the nurse was speechless.
“How would I know where your phone is? Take good care of your body!”
After saying that, she turned to leave.
However, when she looked over his weak appearance, she noticed that his eyes were a little lifeless and empty.
The nurse hesitated for a moment and turned on the television hanging in the ward for him.
“In your current condition, it’s not good to strain your eyes on the phone. Just watch TV!
“Remember, eat less oily food and rest more!”
After saying that, she left the ward.
Nie Xing found the remote control by the bed and started to flip through the program channels on the television. He wanted to look for news channels.
After flipping through some channels, he found that the morning news had already passed. Now, the TV was filled with TV series and cartoons.
He was a little disappointed.
“Oh, watching TV, huh. It seems that your body is recovering well!”
At that moment, Old Wang had just walked in from outside the ward and said with a fake smile.
He simply turned up for Old Nie’s sake.
After all, this child was his treasure. If anything happened to his child, he wouldn’t be able to face Old Nie after he joins him.
When Nie Xing saw Uncle Wang, he hurriedly got up to welcome him.
However, his body was very weak and he couldn’t muster up the energy.
Old Wang waved him off.
“Stop tormenting yourself. Take good care of yourself!”
As he spoke, he sat beside Nie Xing’s bed, and the two of them fell silent.
Nie Xing looked at Old Wang with a complicated gaze and wanted to thank him.
However, Old Wang spoke first. His gaze was like that of a judge. He stared at Nie Xing and slowly said in a deep voice, “I, Old Wang, watched you grow up. To be honest, although you are Old Nie’s adopted son, you never lacked anything they did! Old Nie treats you better than I treat my own son! But I didn’t expect that after you got a job and saw the outside world, you would change.
“These three years, have neither been long nor short.
“You are usually busy, so it’s fine if you can’t come back! But you don’t come back even when it’s New Year and the holidays.
“That’s easy to say. After all, who hasn’t been busy?
“But, how far were you going to take it? He’s still your father, isn’t he? How were you not around when he was sick?
“Three years, a whole three years. Couldn’t you find time to come back and take a look?
“These few days, I’ve been thinking about our phone call. If I hadn’t lost it at you, would you even have come back?”
Uncle Wang’s words were like knives stabbing into Nie Xing’s heart.
Just like his father’s reproach, Nie Xing was speechless. He watched as Uncle Wang’s tears burst out of his eyes and streaked across his pale face.
Three years. Who would have thought that it would be a three-year-long battle when they went to secretly study it?
Old Wang wanted an explanation from Nie Xing. After all, Nie Xing’s filial heart could not have been made any clearer during the funeral. It made people feel that he was as filial and outstanding as before. However, these three years were like a knot in his heart, no one could easily cross it!
At that moment… Little Wang hurriedly ran in from outside….
