When the abusive male protagonist wakes up

Chapter 88 Jump From Here

Gu Haoxing took dinner from outside, and when he returned to the room, he saw Tao An sitting on the bed absent-mindedly, still holding the phone in his hand.

Gu Haoxing sat down by the bed with a bowl in his hand, and said softly, "What's wrong?"

Tao An raised his head slowly, his eyes were very red, as if he had cried.

Gu Haoxing felt a little strange, he glanced at Tao An's phone screen, there was nothing strange about it, he didn't understand why he was holding the phone suddenly.

A thought flashed through Gu Haoxing's mind, he put down the dinner in his hand, his expression became serious, "What's wrong, did someone call you?"

Tao An looked at Gu Haoxing's face with blurred vision, his lips were pale because he pressed them too hard, as if he wanted to say something, but when he was about to blurt out something, Tang Li's threat suddenly flashed in his mind, and he stopped abruptly on the edge of his mouth car.

After a moment of silence, Tao An shook his head and sobbed, "I just...just miss my child."

Gu Haoxing couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or lucky at this moment, he thought Tang Li had contacted Tao An.

But after thinking about it, how could Tang Li have Tao An's number, even if he contacted him, he should call him.

Gu Haoxing didn't think too much about it. Ever since the child was taken away by Tang Li, Tao An was often out of his mind. Several times in the middle of the night, Gu Haoxing saw him wandering into the living room, as if he was sleepwalking.

Gu Haoxing picked up the dinner again, cooled the porridge and brought it to Tao An's mouth, "I have asked Xiao Jiang to check Tang Li's hometown. It is inconvenient for him to show his face with the child in his arms, so he will definitely find a place to hide."

Tao An mechanically nodded as if his soul had been sucked out.

After finally feeding Tao An some dinner, Tao An lay back on the bed to sleep, staring blankly at the window, clutching the phone tightly in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

That night Tao An suffered from insomnia again.

With his eyes open, he watched the night outside the window gradually fading away, and was shrouded in daylight. The sound of the breakfast stalls was heard from the street outside.

Gu Haoxing was sleeping beside the bed, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound in front of him, looked up in a daze, and found that it was Tao An who had woken up.

Gu Haoxing rubbed his eyes and sat up straight from the chair, "Why did you wake up so early?"

Tao An didn't look at him, but looked down at the time on the phone. It was almost eight o'clock, his heart tightened, and he whispered, "I, I'm hungry."

This was Tao An's first cry of hunger after losing his child, and Gu Haoxing immediately said, "Then I'll ask Xiao Jiang to buy you breakfast."

Tao An nodded for the first time.

Gu Haoxing couldn't care less about sleepiness, so he went out and asked Xiao Jiang to buy some Tao An's favorite food at the teahouse. When he came back to the room, Tao An had already washed up. He sat on the bed and looked at the picture of the child in his hand. Gradually get wet.

Gu Haoxing took the phone away from him and turned off the photo of the child, "Hey, don't look at it, the child will be fine."

Tao An gritted his teeth lightly, he remembered the pitiful cries of the child that rang on Tang Li's phone yesterday, the child is indeed fine now, but it might not be the case in the future.

Tao An suddenly said, "I want dessert."

Gu Haoxing asked doubtfully, "Dessert?"

Tao An lowered his eyebrows and lowered his voice, "I remember that there is a cake shop next to the convenience store that sells desserts."

Although Gu Haoxing thought it was strange to eat this early in the morning, he only thought that Tao An wanted to eat dessert because he was stimulated. When Xiao Jiang comes back later, I will let him buy it."

Tao An shook his head, "I want to eat now."

Gu Haoxing paused, but before he could speak, Tao An said again, "You, go buy it for me."

Gu Haoxing frowned imperceptibly, "It's too far away, it's inconvenient for you to be at home alone, after Xiao Jiang comes back, I'll let him buy it."

Tao An insisted: "But I want to eat now, you go, I'm at home alone, it's fine."

Tao An insisted on letting Gu Haoxing buy it, but Gu Haoxing couldn't resist Tao An, so he had to agree to go there himself, but the strange feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Gu Haoxing put on his suit jacket and was about to go out. The moment he stepped out of the door, Tao An suddenly called him from behind.

Gu Haoxing stopped abruptly, turned his head, and looked at Tao An suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Tao An's eyes were no longer clear, they were clouded and complicated by bloodshot eyes, that sentence was stuck in his throat all the time, and he couldn't say it.

It couldn't be such a coincidence that Tang Li called Gu Haoxing just as he was leaving yesterday.

He didn't know if Tang Li installed a surveillance camera in his house, or was watching their every move from somewhere. If Tang Li knew that he asked Gu Haoxing or the police for help, he would probably kill the child in a fit of anger.

Tao An didn't dare to gamble with the child's life.

While Tao An was hesitating, Gu Haoxing had turned back. He put his hands on Tao An's shoulders, bent down and said, "What's the matter, do you have something to say to me?"

Tao An's fear suppressed his desire to ask for help. He was worried that Gu Haoxing would see something strange, so he lowered his head, shook his head and said, "No, it's okay, you can go."

Gu Haoxing always felt that Tao An was hiding something from him, and he couldn't figure it out, so he had to leave the rental house.

After Gu Hao walked away, Tao An immediately got out of bed and changed his clothes. He took out a backpack from under the bed, put all the valuables at home, including his salary card, and carried it on his back without anyone noticing. Bag out the door.

Tao An stopped a taxi at the entrance of the community, reported to the driver the address agreed by Tang Li, and rushed there.

Tao An was extremely anxious along the way, he didn't know what Tang Li wanted to do, but he knew that he must rescue the child today.

That was his fate.

The scene outside the car window gradually changed from bustling to backward, remote, and desolate. Even the driver kept muttering and couldn't help asking Tao An what he was doing here?

Tao An couldn't tell the truth, so he lied, "I'm here to climb the mountain."

The driver did not doubt him. Young people nowadays have all kinds of strange hobbies, and there is nothing strange about mountain climbing. He said kindly: "Young man, don't blame me for not reminding you. This mountain is not very auspicious. Many people used to There was an accident here, you have to be careful."

Tao An absent-mindedly said thank you.

At the foot of the mountain, the driver put Tao An off the car, and he had to walk the rest of the way by himself.

Just as Tao An was looking for the way up the mountain, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

As soon as Tao An saw the familiar number, he picked up the phone without thinking, and looked around while saying, "I, I'm here, where are you?"

Tang Li's cold voice came from the phone, "You didn't bring Haoxing and the police, did you?"

Tao An gripped the phone tightly, "No, no, absolutely not, I came alone."

"That's good." Tang Li deliberately emphasized the syllable, "I can see every move at the foot of the mountain here. If you dare to lie to me, I will kill your child right now."

Tao An's breathing trembled a little, he tried to hear the child's voice from the phone, but before he could listen carefully, Tang Li spoke again: "See the stairs in front of you, come up from there, to the top of the mountain you you can see me."

After Tang Li finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Tao An looked at the seemingly endless stairs in front of him, and climbed up bravely.

Tao An's health was already poor, and he hadn't recuperated well during the confinement period. When he climbed halfway up the mountain, his face was already pale, and his back was wet with sweat.

Tao An's body swayed under the scorching sun. Thinking of his child, he gritted his teeth and climbed up the mountain with the last of his strength.

The scene in front of him was barren, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

Tao An continued to walk forward with his bag on his back, and soon came to the place indicated by Tang Li - on the edge of the cliff.

At this moment, a familiar laughter came from behind, "You are here."

Tao An suddenly turned his head and saw Tang Li standing not far away. He looked haggard, his hair was unkempt, and his clothes were dirty, as if he hadn't washed it for several days. Tang Li, who was showing off in front of him, seemed like a completely different person.

When Tao An saw the child in Tang Li's arms, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously wanted to step forward. Seeing this, Tang Li immediately backed away with the child in his arms, and warned, "Don't come over!"

Tao An was forced to stop, his pupils trembling slightly, looking at the child he hadn't seen for a long time, his eyes were sore.

Fortunately, the child is fine, fortunately......

Tang Li followed his gaze to look at the child in his arms, and stretched out his hand to touch the little face in an unclear manner, "He looks so cute, he looks a lot like Hao Xing."

Every time he touched it, Tao An's heart trembled, his hands tightly grasped the strap of the backpack, and he said in a trembling voice: "I'm already here, why are you willing to let my child go?"

"What do I want?" Tang Li raised his head, smiling deeply, "I want you to die, so that Hao Xing can return to my side."

Tao An's lips trembled slightly.

Tang Li looked at Tao An, "Tao An, you are really lucky. After falling down from such a high staircase, you can keep the child, and let Haoxing change his mind to pursue you. Are you living a happy life now?"

The slight tremor of Tao An's palm revealed the emotions in his heart, and he tremblingly said: "I haven't reunited with Gu Haoxing, you can still be together."

Tang Li gritted his teeth and said, "You sound nice. If it weren't for you, would Haoxing break up with me!"

Speaking of which, he almost gritted his teeth, wishing he could jump over and bite the culprit, Tao An, to death.

Tao An kept following the child in Tang Li's arms, and begged, "What do you have to do to me, don't hurt my child!"

Tang Li looked at Tao An's tense expression, and his expression quickly regained his composure. He looked at the child in his arms, and squeezed his fingers hard on the white and tender flesh, as if venting his hatred, the child immediately felt great pain Cry, cry heart-piercingly.

Tao An's heart seemed to be cut, he was almost crying, and couldn't help but stepped forward, "I beg you, don't hurt him!"

He hurriedly put down the backpack on his body, opened the zipper, spread out the contents, and pushed it in front of Tang Li, "All my valuables are here, if you think it is not enough, I can make it up, as long as you let me go children."

Tang Li didn't even look at the backpack, a vicious darkness flashed across his eyes, "I don't want money."

He pointed Tao An with his finger, and said in a word: "I want you to die."

Tao An froze for a moment, "What?"

Tang Li pointed to the edge of the cliff, with a crazy smile on the corner of his mouth, "As long as you jump off here, I will send your child back safely. How about it, is this a good deal?"
