Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 The sky-high price of the prison cage, signed and signed

"Tick-tick-"The cold mechanical sound echoed regularly in the dead corridor.The sound did not come from any clock, but it was more like a life-urging charm than any countdown, one after another, accurately striking Su Wan's already fragile nerves.Yuncheng First People's Hospital, ICU intensive care room.In the air, the smell of disinfectant water was so thick that it could not be dissolved that it was tightly entangled with an invisible breath called despair, penetrating into the nasal cavity and penetrating the lungs, making every breath tingle with a cold tingling sensation.The bench in the corner has lost its original color.Su Wan was holding a fast food lunch box that was already cold and curled up there. For three days, a full seventy-two hours, she hadn't closed her eyes once.A pair of red-eyed eyes, covered with horrific bloodshots, were dead and motionless, glued to the closed door that separated life and death.The red light above the door was like a demonic eye that would never blink, using its scarlet light to burn the only remaining shaky hope in her heart inch by inch."Squeak—"The door opened.The slight sound was like thunder at this moment.Su Wan suddenly bounced off the bench, and her legs, which were completely numb from sitting for a long time, staggered for a while and almost fell. She rushed forward desperately, grabbing the arm of the white coat in front of her with both hands, her nails sinking deep into the fabric due to force.Her throat was as dry as if it were about to crack, and the voice squeezed out was hoarse and broken, almost out of tune:"Doctor... My father... How is he? "The attending doctor took off his mask, revealing a face deeply eroded by exhaustion and helplessness. He sighed softly, deliberately avoiding Su Wan's eyes full of begging and madness, almost piercing him."Miss Su, please calm down."This sentence, like a cold spell, instantly drove Su Wan into the bottomless abyss.Her heart fell straight down."First surgery... failed. "The doctor's words are very light, but every word is like a hammer."The patient has caused an extremely serious concurrent infection in his body and has already developed early symptoms of sepsis. We must immediately perform a second debridement surgery to remove the necrotic tissue and replace all imported targeted drugs. "He paused, as if looking for a less cruel wording."Otherwise... The patient lasted no more than 24 hours. "There is no "otherwise".These unfinished words are already the final verdict.The doctor handed Su Wan a list of expenses, and the edge of the paper carried the residual temperature of the printer.It was a string of astronomical numbers that she looked over at a glance, and she couldn't even count how many zeros there were.A thin piece of paper was as heavy as a tombstone at the moment, and Su Wan's fingertips were trembling violently, almost uncontrollable.At this moment, a sweet fragrance that was incompatible with this place hit."Ouch, why is my life so miserable..."Stepmother Liu Yun is here.She painted a delicate and meticulous full makeup, and the Chanel suit on her body still exuded an expensive luster in the pale light. She used a brand new handkerchief and elegantly pressed the corners of her eyes, her posture was full, but she didn't squeeze out half a drop of real tears."Your dad is a god-damned man, and when he lies down, he will cut off the way for our mother and mother to live!"Liu Yun's crying is more like singing, and every word accurately lands on Su Wan's most painful place."The house has long been hollowed out! For your unsuccessful brother to study abroad, the house has been mortgaged, do you know? I'm all over my body, where is there a penny to fill this bottomless pit for your dad!" "She pretended to howl a few words, and then turned her words abruptly, as if she had rehearsed a long time ago, and took out a document from her brand new Hermès bag.The agreement was packed in a high-grade matte black folder, with a cold texture, like a coffin carefully prepared for Su Wan. The folder is so brand new that there is not even a trace of crease, as if it is calculated that it will come in handy today, at this time."Wanwan, don't blame your aunt for being cruel. Now, that's the only way. "Liu Yun stuffed the cold document into Su Wan's arms without refusal.The charitable tone seemed to be a gift."Mr. Bo, you know? The god of Cloud City! A big man who covers the sky with one hand! "He ... He has recently been short of a 'special assistant' by his side. Liu Yun deliberately aggravated the word "special", and her eyes flashed with a light that Su Wan couldn't read, mixed with excitement and calculation."Look at the terms above, food and clothing are all covered, and you can immediately advance a sum of money, which is enough for your father's medical expenses in the next ten years! Wanwan, this is a blessing that fell from the sky! "Su Wan's fingers turned deathly pale from excessive force.Her gaze, dead, stroke by stroke, scooped out the four words "special assistant" on the agreement, only to feel that her internal organs were twisted by a huge sense of irony.Yuncheng, who doesn't know the ruler of the Bo family's chaebol, Bo Jinshen.It was a ruthless and perverse and powerful madman, a monster who lived in longing for his deceased wife and did not approach any women. The only "woman" who has appeared around him is the white moonlight that has long since disappeared - Lu Qingyue.What kind of "special assistant" will such a man need?The answer is obvious.This is clearly a beautifully packaged deed of sale."Wanwan, what are you still hesitating about?!"Seeing that Su Wan was slow to move, Liu Yun's patience finally ran out, the mask of hypocritical grief was torn off, and her voice instantly became sharp and mean."If you don't sign, you're just watching your dad die! Can you bear it? He has worked hard for you for most of his life, is this how you repay his nurturing grace? ""Are you worthy of him?!"The last sentence, like a red-hot iron shovel, was burned on Su Wan's heart.Scenes flashed uncontrollably in her mind.When she was a child, her father held her high above her head with a hearty smile...On rainy days, her father's old umbrella was always on her side...Before the start of college, in order to collect enough tuition for her, her father moved bricks on the construction site under the scorching sun, and her shoulders were worn to a bloody background...Reason was screaming, telling her that there was a beautifully packaged trap in front of her, and jumping down would be an abyss of no return.However, lying in the ICU was her father.It is her only relative in this world.She has no choice.Su Wan finally stretched out his hand and picked up the pen.The action of pulling off the cap seemed to have exhausted her life's strength, and she made a slight and decisive "pop" sound.She didn't even have the courage to look at the dense, shackled-cold clauses in the contract, and her eyes locked on the numbers in the column of advance pay.There, there is a father's life.The trembling tip of the pen marked a deep, soaked with despair on the paper.——Su Wan.Signing these two words is equivalent to burying your past self with your own hands.Since then, there has been no Su Wan in the world."Hey, that's right!"Liu Yun snatched the agreement away, moving as fast as if she was afraid that she would regret it.She lowered her head, checked the signature carefully and word by word, and then contentedly took the agreement back into her expensive bag and quickly turned to leave.The back reveals a lightness that unloads the burden and can't wait.From beginning to end, she never looked back at the ICU door, as if there was just a stranger lying inside, who had nothing to do with her.Su Wan's whole body was completely drained at the moment when Liu Yun's back disappeared.She slowly slid to the ground along the cold wall, like a puppet whose soul had been drained.She didn't know how long she had been sitting.Until a dazzling beam of light pierced the darkness at the end of the corridor.A black Bentley, like a beast lurking in the dark night, stopped silently at the entrance of the hospital.The license plate is four dazzling numbers - 88888.Two men got out of the car.They wore neatly tailored black suits and snow-white silk gloves, and without any expression on their faces, they walked straight towards her.The sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor tiles is dull and rhythmic, step by step, it is like stepping on Su Wan's heartbeat.They didn't have any extra greetings, they just stood still in front of her, bowed slightly, and spoke in a tone like a robot with a set program, formulaic, without a hint of human temperature:"Miss Su, we are here to pick you up."Su Wan didn't even have time to say goodbye to his father in the ICU, so he was "invited" to move forward.That's not support, but an irresistible coercion.Before getting into the car, one of the men stopped her."Miss Su, according to the rules, please hand over all your personal belongings."Mobile phones, wallets, ID cards, and even a string of old house keys that have long been worn off and cannot be seen as they are.Her past was counted one by one.The man's movements were professional and fast, but when he took the ID card with Su Wan's photo and name printed on it, his fingertips wearing white gloves showed a momentary stagnation.His eyes swept very quickly between the photo of the ID card and Su Wan's own pale face, and then regained his uneventful appearance, and threw the ID card into the cold sealed bag along with other items.Su Wan captured that momentary pause, but he was unable to think deeply.Everything she had was taken away and sealed in that bag, as if sealing a fatal evidence."Mr. Bo doesn't like unnecessary interference in his 'environment'." The man explained in that unfluctuating tone."Bang—"The heavy door was slammed shut with a loud bang.Su Wan looked at the hospital buildings, streets and crowds that were rapidly retreating outside the window, and her heart became empty inch by inch.The world is cut off.From this moment on, Su Wan ... is dead.
