Black Lotus - Chap 142
Seeing Tang Shuo’s face turned pale in an instant, Wen Niannan asked with worry: “Tang Shuo…what happened?”
“My…my brother is in an accident…my dad was trying to rescue him…I…need to go to the hospital to accompany my mother…” Tang Shuo’s eyes were red and fearful, as he choked with his crying.
“Why…how could that happen?”
Wen Niannan’s eyes were full of disbelief that something happened to Tang Lunxuan. He couldn’t imagine how desperate Tang Shuo should be at this time. He hurriedly stood up and took Tang Shuo’s hand as he walked out.
“I’ll go to the hospital with you.”
“No, you have to stay.”
Tang Shuo looked at Wen Niannan, who was full of anxiety, he took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice: “You have to stay here…you have to stay and participate in the competition, Niannan, you have been preparing for this for so long, you have to perform the song as perfect as it is, do it just as if we are performing together, promise?”
Wen Niannan was startled: “But if you go alone I’m afraid you will…”
“Niannan …please, I don’t want you to lose this opportunity because of me.”
“Next, we will invite the next contestants, our performers are Wen Niannan and Tang Shuo! Let’s welcome them!”
The host’s voice echoed on the stage, but Wen Niannan didn’t go to the stage after hearing his name.
Tang Shuo pulled him to the stage and said softly: “Promise me, show them your best time, and don’t be distracted by me.”
Wen Niannan’s eyes were slightly red: “Promise…”
Tang Shuo watched Wen Niannan walk up to the stage and go to his place in front of the piano, then he took his coat and hurriedly left for the hospital.
Wen Niannan stood in the spotlight looking at his father below the stage, took a deep breath, and sat down in front of the piano as he started playing.
The melody that was originally intended for two people was played by Wen Niannan all alone, but despite that everyone in the audience was immersed in the beautiful sound of the piano.
But because Wen Niannan was worried about Tang Shuo’s situation in the hospital, his thoughts were a little away, almost missing the notes several times.
Wen Niannan’s strangeness was discovered by Wen’s father, his father wondered why he was the only one playing, why there was no sign of Tang Shuo…
After the song was ended, everyone in the audience stood up and applauded excitedly. Several judges on the scene looked at each other and smiled. Looking at this extraordinary and compelling player on the stage, it seemed that there won’t be any discussion about the winner of the competition.
Wen Niannan bowed lightly and walked off the stage. After changing his clothes, his purpose was to go to the hospital.
“Little Nian, what’s wrong with you? What happened?” asked Father Wen walking over from the audience.
“Uncle Tang had an accident. Tang Shuo is in the hospital. I have to go to be with him.”
Father Wen was taken aback: “How come…but the award ceremony is about to start.”
Wen Niannan glanced in the direction of the stage and shook his head slightly: “I have to go to the hospital quickly…”
“Little Nian, every champion takes a group photo in front of the championship wall, the photo will be hung on the wall. Your mother is also there. I don’t want you to miss it.”
Wen Niannan looked at the prayer in his father’s eyes. Bowed his head and remained silent for a long time, and said: “Okay…”
“Next, we will announce the champion of this year’s piano competition. Their name is…Wen Niannan! Please come to the stage to accept the prize!”
Wen Niannan took the trophy and stood in front of the championship wall to take a group photo. The reporter and the newspaper quickly pressed the shutter.
It was very late when Wen Niannan arrived at the hospital. In the room, Tang Shuo was sitting alone in front of the bed staring at the person lied on it with scary red eyes.
Wen Niannan walked over and patted Tang Shuo on the shoulder, but was pushed away by him.
“I want to be alone…”
Wen Niannan tightened his lips, and said worriedly: “Where is Auntie?”
“Mom, she was crying so hard that she asked the housekeeper to take her back. It would only be sadder for her to be here, she couldn’t afford any more incidents…”
Wen Niannan felt very isolated when he saw Father Tang lying on the bed covered with needles and machines.
“Uncle…why did he suddenly have a cerebral hemorrhage?”
Tang Shuo glanced at his father, his eyes filled with despair: “Because of a phone call, they told him that my brother disappeared…told him about a big foreign project…that the helicopter malfunctioned and crashed…all of it was made on purpose…the phone couldn’t be found no matter how we look for it…”
“Someone is plotting to destroy Qiyue and destroy the Tang family!”
Wen Niannan looked at Tang Shuo’s getting angrier and angrier, so he held his shoulders: “Calm down Tang Shuo, you have to take care of your parents, you can’t have an accident now.”
Looking at the worry in Wen Niannan’s eyes, Tang Shuo finally broke down and cried.
“What should I do, Niannan…my brother is gone, I don’t have a brother…I don’t have a brother anymore…if we don’t get in time…I am afraid I will also lose my father too, why did these things happen? Why does life treat me like this… ”
Tang Shuo hugged Wen Niannan’s shoulder tightly, crying, hot tears fell on Wen Niannan’s neck.
Wen Niannan patted the man crying like a child in his arms, his tears also fell as he choked, sobbing: “Don’t cry Tang Shuo, it will be fine, everything will be fine. ”
Just after the meeting, Gu Yansheng pushed open the door of the office and walked to the couch to sit down, frowning with a terrible headache.
Originally, he planned to go to high school today, but the Qin family suddenly became active those days, trying to fight with them over and over. Zhou Yuanfeng wasn’t under the management of the company because of a business trip, he could only wait for him to return.
Ding…
The phone on the table rang, Gu Yansheng took the phone and saw that it was the result of the piano contest posted on Weibo.
Gu Yansheng was taken aback, was it over? He was so confused because of the terrible headache in the past two days that he even forgot about it.
Who was the champion to be…Wen Niannan…and Tang Shuo?
After clicking on Weibo’s icon, he saw Wen Niannan alone holding the trophy, Gu Yansheng didn’t care why Tang Shuo wasn’t there but stared straight at Wen Niannan in a white formal attire…
Gu Yansheng looked at the slightly serious face looking at the camera, the slightly frowned brows, the slightly curled hair falling messy, a beautiful view…
Those were things that he had never seen in the three years of marriage, a so strange and confident Wen Niannan.
Gu Yansheng saved the photo and clicked on Wen Niannan’s Weibo. He thought he would post on Weibo after winning the championship, but Wen Niannan still didn’t post any news.
Scrolling down to the end, watching Wen Niannan’s Weibo over and over again, finally opened the photo with the trophy and looked at it for a long time.
He couldn’t wait to verify the answer in his mind…
There were also video clips uploaded by fans on Weibo, everyone was also discussing W.E.’s new hairstyle and Tang Shuo’s absence.
[Sure enough, my W.E. won a lot! A champion like a God! ]
[Why isn’t brother Shuo Shuo there? Isn’t it a duo? ]
[W.E. killed me a little too much. He used to be very serious and gentle, but I didn’t expect it to be so beautiful]
[Huh? Why is Tang Shuo not in the photo? ]
[Sisters, I saw W.E’s mother in a photo hung on the championship wall! ]
[How can you be sure that it was W.E’s mother? ]
[WE’s mother, Ye Xian, was one of the most famous pianists in M City, she had won numerous awards, also won the M City Piano Competition at the age of 18. What about the exclusive necklace.]
[Wow! She was so powerful, I wonder if this year will also have an exclusive souvenir necklace? ]
[Waiting for it sisters, I will go through the collection of exclusive souvenir necklaces that have been sent out in the competition over the past few decades]
It was already one o’clock in the morning, Tang Shuo tucked his father’s blanket, looked at his father’s pale face, his eyes were full of distress and guilt.
Turning to see Wen Niannan, who was asleep with his arm on the sofa, took off his coat and lightly covered him, touched his forehead, and sat down.
Tang Shuo turned on his phone to check the situation of Wen Niannan’s match today. Although he knew he had won, he still wanted to see.
As soon as he opened the Weibo topic about the piano competition, he saw the souvenir necklaces posted by fans over the years. He saw a musical note necklace…
Tang Shuo stood up abruptly and stared at the photo intensively, slowly looking at Wen Niannan who was sleeping aside.
If Gu Yansheng saw those photos and recognized the musical note necklace…If Gu Yansheng knew that it was Wen Niannan who saved him…he would definitely take Wen Niannan away…
“No…I can’t let Gu Yansheng see these pictures…”
Tang Shuo opened the door in a panic and went out, walking to the stairwell, staying on the steps, and taking out his cell phone, he dialed a number.
The next day, all the information and pictures about the musical note necklace on Weibo were gone.
Wen Niannan on the sofa woke up and sat up, the coat fell to the ground, as he got up and walked to the bedside.
Tang Shuo sat on the chair beside the bed and fell asleep on the edge of the bed, but his brows tightly frowned, Wen Niannan gently covered him with the coat in his hand.
“Brother…brother…where are you…?”
Wen Niannan paused putting him the coat, squeezed his hands, and looked at Father Tang, who was lying unconscious on the bed, still feeling bitter in his heart.
“Niannan…Niannan, don’t leave me… Niannan!”
Tang Shun woke up suddenly and saw the person standing beside was Wen Niannan, he stood up and hugged him, choking up: “Gosh…I thought…you left me…I couldn’t find you anymore…”
Just as Wen Niannan was about to say something, Tang Shuo’s cell phone rang.
Tang Shuo took it over and looked at it. It was a video, he reached out and opened it.
In the video, a helicopter could be seen, Tang Shuo’s heart tightened when he saw it as if his heart told him something he already knew.
Wen Niannan saw that Tang Shuo was getting anxious and looked over. After seeing the helicopter in the video, his eyes widened, he stretched out his hand to grab the phone.
“Tang Shuo, don’t look at it!”
Tang Shuo avoided Wen Niannan, his hands were shaking as he clicked to continue playing.
The video was accelerated and cut, it wasn’t a complete shot. A familiar voice could be heard, it was Tang Lunxuan’s voice.
He was asking where the destination of the plane was, he seemed a bit hesitant to board, but in the end, without so much choice, he boarded it.
The video suddenly switched to a distant view. The machine that was flying normally in the sky suddenly lost control and from its tail was smoking and spinning around in the air. The helicopter’s tail broke and fell out of control into the sea.
Wen Niannan saw that he turned halfway around, he couldn’t bear to look anymore.
They showed the cruelest thing in that video, there were voices from the helicopter ten seconds before the crash. The fearful shouts of people in the helicopter could be clearly heard, Tang Lunxuan’s voice was clearly heard…
“Brother…Brother! Brother!!”
Tang Shuo suddenly covered his chest with a painful face and bent down, then lost consciousness and fainted on the ground…Wen Niannan hurriedly approached him to help him, but as soon as he touched him, blood covered his hands…
Wen Niannan’s face suddenly turned pale, he lost control of himself as he shouted: “Doctor! Doctor!”
