Chapter 2036 Are You Still Alive?
Xiao Shan said in a pleading tone. Natasha looked at Xiao Shan, not knowing what Xiao Shan was thinking at the moment.
"I know it was my father who forced you to come here from China, but I hope you can forgive him."
"Hehe, you seem to have misunderstood something. I'm not here to argue with your father. I'll just pretend that it didn't happen."
Natasha hesitated for a moment. Victor, who was lying on the bed, knew that Xiao Shan had no ill intentions. Victor had not made things difficult for Xiao Shan in the past few days.
"Okay, Natasha, go out first. He won't hurt me."
Victor said. Natasha knew that no matter what she did now, it was too late. She could only do what Victor wanted and leave here, leaving this place to Xiao Shan and her father.
"Then I'll go out first. I'll come to see you later."
Winking to agree, Victor now felt that even talking took a lot of energy. After Natasha left, she closed the door.
Xiao Shan came to Victor. Victor thought that Xiao Shan was Xiao Yi's grandfather and did not investigate the inside story in depth.
"Mr. Victor, I didn't expect that I could see you when I was alive. Fate is really an elusive thing."
"You are... Did you know me before?"
Victor asked curiously. He heard Xiao Shan's words, which obviously meant that they knew each other before and the relationship was very special.
Xiao Shan laughed. It was reasonable that Victor didn't know him, or didn't recognize him. After all, many years had passed.
"It's normal that you didn't recognize me. After all, more than 20 years have passed. Even you have become like this. I have been old for a long time."
Victor thought about it at this moment. If what Xiao Shan said here is true, time will move forward for more than 20 years. Suddenly, a person's figure appeared in Victor's mind.
This man is burly, with a pair of steel-like eyes, always guarding his master's side, and Victor praised him at the time, saying that if he had such a subordinate, his life would be much easier.
"Xiao Shan... It turned out to be you, you are still alive!"
"Yes, I am still alive. You didn't recognize me because I was originally a person who should have died, but I can't just die like this. Some things are not over, some dead souls have not been rested, and I have to live in this world."
The past events of more than 20 years ago suddenly came up and appeared in Victor's mind. More than 20 years ago, Victor had discussed a business with someone, which was a big deal.
The business was in arms. Before Edward took over the arms business, the arms business had always been monopolized by the Xiao family, and no one's power could surpass the Xiao family.
Victor's business was not as big as it is now. Every time that person went out to discuss business, he brought Xiao Shan with him. With these two people, he could completely suppress these forces on the road.
On one occasion, in a deal between the Xiao family and the mafia, the other party wanted to refuse to pay and held that person hostage, threatening the Xiao family with the right to sell arms in exchange for the peace of these two people.
Unfortunately, before the threatening call was made, that person had already arrested the boss of the mafia and chopped off one of his hands in public. From that day on, the mafia never thought of attacking the Xiao family again.
"Haha... I really don't know how to express my feelings. I didn't expect that I could see my old friends when I was about to die."
When Victor heard the news of the death of these two people, he really couldn't accept it. It was a bit too unfair that good people just died like this.
Regarding the internal struggle of the Xiao family, Victor can only be regarded as an outsider. He knows only some superficial things. He only knows that this struggle is very tragic and the loser will lose everything.
"If someone hadn't said your name, I still wouldn't be able to figure out who you are now. I just vaguely feel that I've seen you before." Xiao Shan sighed. More than 20 years have passed, and time has changed many things, making familiar people and things become unfamiliar. "I really didn't think that you were still alive in this world and had your own grandson. It seems that you have lived a very good life these years..." Victor was still saying this when he suddenly remembered a very critical thing. The Xiao Shan he knew didn't even have a wife for more than 20 years. And the Xiao Yi who appeared now turned out to be Xiao Shan's grandson. Obviously, this was not scientific at all. He widened his eyes and stared at Xiao Shan's face. Xiao Shan's eyes did not avoid anything. If there was an old friend who was worth trusting, Xiao Shan would definitely say Victor's name. And now Victor has reached the last moment. Xiao Shan didn't want to hide anything, so he nodded. "You guessed correctly, Xiao Yi is indeed his child. My own child, Xiao Shan, has long since become a wandering ghost, and the master's descendants cannot be extinct like this." Xiao Shan sighed. It has been so long since the events of the past, but every time he recalled them, they were still so clear.
Victor seemed to understand something, and finally solved the mystery in his heart. Why did he always feel like he had seen Xiao Yi somewhere when he first met him?
But at that time, Victor knew that the man was dead, so he didn't think about it. He never thought that the man's child was still alive in this world.
"So that's it. I understand... I finally understand why I always feel like I see the shadow of a person when I see him. He is actually the child of that person."
After understanding this, Victor would not force anything here. He looked at Xiao Shan beside him and laughed helplessly.
"So he is the child of that person. If I had known this earlier, I would not have spent so much trouble to threaten him to do such a thing with you. His lifeline is much more noble than mine."
Xiao Shan nodded. It was indeed the same as what Victor said. The power of the Xiao family was not something Victor could contend with. Victor's words were not modest.
"It's a pity that it's a thing of the past. The master is no longer in this world. Xiao Yi has come to today's situation step by step. The Xiao family only gave him this surname."
