Xia Liangzhen put down the plate and raised his hand to knock on the door, but finally gave up.
“···”
I have experienced a lot since the incident happened.
For example, go everywhere to smoothen relationships.
But as someone who has been active overseas all year round, at most he knows some people in the system because of investment projects in China. Generally speaking, just asking them to understand the case is just a favor, and no one will refuse.
But before I could get a response, I suddenly heard that Su Yao had escaped after a car accident.
When I asked the people who had agreed before, all of them remained silent, and later they even refused to interact with me.
I spent a lot of money and received nothing.
In the end, only one person who was chatting more speculatively said, "This matter has been settled, don't pursue it any further."
Although very annoying.
But Xia Liang really knew that it would be too difficult to deal with this matter.
I also thought about taking a desperate risk to create public opinion and expand the conflict. But I was immediately invited to drink tea.
'If you have any questions, please wait until you find Su Yao and then ask a lawyer to tell you. If you do this again, we will detain you next time for obstructing official business.'
Completely business-like attitude.
Really, it's completely baffling.
I originally planned to go on a business trip to Polya at the end of May or early June, so that I could get married before then, or even get engaged if not possible.
What to do now?
Xia Liang could really see her daughter's condition.
From trying to sue with a lawyer every day, to handing out flyers to search for Su Yao after she disappeared, and going to and from the inspectorate every day.
Lost the lawsuit.
There is no lawyer to pick up again.
Some lawyers have even deduced that there may be some secret involved. This kind of case will even be rejected even if you are eligible to appeal. Please wait until you find someone and wait for the official to come out with a specific statement.
The same conclusion I reached.
What are people like?
When encountering something, work hard for something that seems useful, and keep working hard. That way, you won't be immersed in sadness, and at least you will have hope.
But the lawyer told her there was nothing she could do and advised her to give up.
Even she herself understood from the flyer that not only Xia Liangzhen but also she was being monitored. Once they were really contacted, they would go in again.
Do you want to be contacted, or do you want not to be contacted?
Even if you speak before being taken away, how can you protect yourself? How do you defend an innocent person?
Or rather——
It was really Su Yao who killed him.
All in all, before Su Yao escaped, Xia Liang really believed that Su Yao was innocent, but now Su Yao has been missing for nearly a week. If he is innocent, why not come forward, stand in the public eye, or contact himself. That would be
The trial must be open, and he can find a good lawyer to help him.
My daughter stayed at home for two days and nights in a row. It doesn't mean she never came out. At least she could drink water, go to the bathroom, and take a shower.
Don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean you just wash your face with tears all day long.
Xia Liang really knew that Xia Xianyue was using the Internet to do useless things while huddled in her room.
You can tell whether you are crying or not by looking at the red and swollen eyes.
But what can you do as a parent?
It's all unpleasant things.
'Though things went wrong, we, mother and son, got through it anyway.'
Xia Liang really remembered what Su Yao's mother said calmly to her.
At that time, I didn't know that she planned to die.
What kind of mentality did you have when you said that line?
Can't compare.
Xia Liang even really thought that even if she had money and could find some useless relationships, she might not be able to compare to Su's mother.
Being calm with capital is not that great.
Being able to live calmly without anything is amazing.
What are you thinking about?
If possible, please bless your child and keep him safe. Regardless of whether he is a criminal or not, I will do my best.
Seriously.
Regardless of whether Su Yao actually killed those two people, Xia Liang really would not have any negative feelings towards him because of this.
On the contrary, just like she had done before, the reward money was also to find those two people.
Justice, truth, these are not important.
"Mr. Xia, our boss is already waiting for you in the conference room."
"Sorry for bothering you."
"In other words, you are an important investor in our company and a comprehensive strategic partner."
“···”
After exchanging pleasantries with the boss's secretary who was about to meet, Xia Liangzhen followed her to the conference room.
Actually, I'm not here to talk about business.
What needs to be said has been decided verbally before, and today we come here to formally sign the contract, check everything in detail, cut the ribbon, and take photos.
The signing of the contract is also finalized by the lawyers of both parties. If there is any abnormality, I will report it. My only responsibility is to come over for tea and chat with the boss to see if there are any projects that can be cooperated with.
"Currently, 90% of domestic medical devices are imported. Recently, a team here developed a completely domestically produced equipment."
"Although the project has not been fully completed, the preliminary results have come out, and I think it is very promising."
"The next step is to prepare for Series A financing..."
“···”
Xia Liang was really not very interested and knew that his attitude was a bit perfunctory.
I sensed that the other party was a little unhappy.
"I'm sorry, I've been a little upset recently because of things in my life. Can you tell me again about the medical equipment you just mentioned?"
Quickly correct your attitude. Even if your company is the one that has the initiative, you should never adopt such a perfunctory attitude towards work.
"Ah, it's okay."
The other party was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and smiled and said, "Speaking of which, when I made an appointment with you before, I thought you wouldn't be able to come recently."
"Why?"
Xia Liang asked in confusion.
"Didn't I give you a coupon for Yueyue Island before? It was a temporary consumption coupon that Yueyue Island took out with my VIP card. I received a phone call to inquire before and the coupon was used. I thought you were bringing your family with you.
Let’s go traveling together.”
"...Has it been used?"
Xia Liang looked at him in surprise, "When did it happen?"
"It was just yesterday, didn't you know?"
The other party asked some strange questions.
"Ah, no, no, sorry, I have something to do and I have to go back first."
"But the ribbon-cutting ceremony isn't over yet? Can you please first..."
"Sorry, I will wait until the ribbon cutting is completed before leaving."
Xia Liangzhen's mind started to get a little confused.
Was the ticket used?
It was impossible for him and Xia Xianyue to use it, and the only one who could use it was Su Yao.
Su Yao actually traveled so far away in a week?
Did he really know that he would be arrested in advance, so he prepared everything in advance? Funds, escape routes, etc.
No, no, now is not the time to think about this. Xia Liang really just wants to know the truth from Su Yao personally, and then think about how to deal with it.
Knowing that there was no need to rush the matter, Xia Liangzhen still completed what he had to do in an orderly manner, making the people who might be watching him look normal.
After a normal day's schedule, Xia Liangzhen returned home.
The plates left by the door were gone and the bowls had been washed.
From outside the door, you can only hear the crackling sound of the keyboard inside.
"Dong dong."
Xia Liangzhen knocked on the door.
No response.
"Crack."
I stretched out my hand and twisted it, and the door opened without locking.
There was no light in the room, only the laptop screen was on, and I saw my daughter struggling to write a post in front of the computer.
That's useless.
Then what is useful? He answered with red eyes.
It's been like this since that day.
It didn't seem to attract my daughter's attention when I walked in. She was still writing the post.
"It's useless. If you really do this and organize people to protest at the gate of the Supervision Bureau, you will all be detained. That is unreasonable."
“···”
After making a sound behind her, Xia Xianyue just paused and ignored her, continuing to work.
"well."
Xia Liangzhen sighed, "I won't beat around the bush, let me tell you something."
"Su Yao probably ran to Crescent Island."
“···”
For a moment, Xia Xianyue looked back.
The face that was delicate and beautiful before was now extremely haggard, as if it had never slept.
"Take care of yourself and go to Crescent Island tonight."
"I will find someone to pick you up there in advance."
"It's better to go over there and look for it than to do useless work here."
"If you really see it, ask me what happened and then contact me."
How to say?
The truth is, seeing her daughter like this, Xia Liang felt inexplicably disgusted with Su Yao.
But then I realized immediately that it was not disgust, but jealousy.
This is my biological daughter.
But it seems that she cares more about Su Yao than her own mother.
It's your own fault.
After all, if you want to talk about beautiful childhood memories, maybe Su Yao is the only one that exists in your daughter's eyes. Regarding the days she lived with her, they are all the remnants left by adults.
Thinking back to my childhood.
Well, even though I was a little unlucky because of various things when I grew up, at least I can still smile knowingly when I think back to my mother when I was a child. It feels good from the bottom of my heart.
And my daughter...
That's it, at least now she is willing to recognize herself. And all she can do is make her as happy as possible.
——
Originally, it would not take a week to reach Crescent Island at Youye's speed.
But Youye can only run around the city without any scruples at night.
In other words, even now Youye has to work hard to avoid cameras and other people's sight. He is bumping up and down the building at night, but there are no cameras on the top of the building to monitor. So he can move forward at full speed.
Although he could only move at night, Su Yao thought it was amazing to be able to run nearly three thousand kilometers in a week.
"Are you tired?"
Seeing that You Ye's tail was peeling and worn in places due to intensive use, Su Yao asked.
"I'm not tired. Youye feels very happy."
But You Ye just showed an innocent smile.
It seems that to her, even if Su Yao is just a burden, compared to her easily traveling thousands of kilometers alone, it is simply a reward.
But now we face one last problem.
ocean.
Su Yao and You Ye stood on the wild beach, which was deserted. The cold water kept hitting the rocks.
To be honest, Su Yao had never seen the sea in his previous life, he had only seen it on TV.
Seriously facing this kind of behemoth, which is completely different from the river, and it is also at night, endless and pitch black as far as the eye can see.
Looking forward from here, we know from the map that if we keep going straight from here, we will reach Crescent Island.
But standing in this place, with the eyes of a small person, not even a single point of light can be seen. How far is it?
The map shows that the straight-line distance from here to the past is more than 130 kilometers.
With human potential, who can swim so far?
Even if it is possible, are there sharks or other dangers in this wild sea? It is certain that the chance of ordinary people crossing over is 0.
"Big brother, are you scared?"
You Ye seemed to notice Su Yao's hesitation, and pulled off Su Yao's clothes abruptly.
"There's nothing to be afraid of."
Facing the unknown behemoth, Su Yao had the instinctive fear as a human being, but on second thought, he believed in You Ye.
Speaking of which, as long as You Ye is nearby, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to load files.
die?
That kind of thing has long been numb. There is nothing to be afraid of.
"Don't worry, Youye has thought of a better way than before. It doesn't require hijacking human fishing boats."
"At what point did we discuss hijacking a fishing boat?"
"Youye unilaterally thought that the eldest brother could not endure the cold sea water, so he considered it this way."
"... Are you hypothermic?"
Su Yao had never thought about this. He only thought about how to rely on You Ye to get over. He never thought that even if You Ye could use his tail to maintain buoyancy and bring himself inside, maintaining the temperature would be another problem.
Well, after all, Su Yao was just thinking superficially before coming here. When asked Youye, she just said that there would be a way to get through it anyway.
In fact, why he didn't complain at all in the past, this is also because Su Yao knew that even if he did, he couldn't help. His brain is not as good as You Ye's, and his body is not as good as You Ye's. That's nonsense. He said he provided head touching and kneeling.
The tool man is not bad either.
"Brother, let's go to the front area near the deeper water first."
Su Yao turned on the flash and reluctantly followed You Ye.
Although this is a wild beach, people probably come here to pick up shells, oysters and the like. Occasionally, you can see traces left by people - a small amount of garbage.
You Ye said that she can see clearly even at night. There is no need to worry about falling when following her.
"Mea, woo, ah~"
When I walked to the reef at the edge of the beach, I saw You Ye climbing up and making a strange sound.
“···”
"What are you doing?"
"Youye is sending out mating signals."
"Mea, woo, wow~"
"What?"
Su Yao was stunned.
"Plop! Crash—"
Before Su Yao could ask again, he heard something swimming fast in the distance and the sound was even louder than the waves.
"Wow--"
No, it’s not just one, it’s many, it’s a group!
Through the superimposition of moonlight and weak flashlight, Su Yao seemed to vaguely see the fins of the fish.
That thing looks like... a shark?!
A black shadow sprinted at extremely fast speeds.
"Shua——"
He even rushed directly into the shallow water, flopping and rolling in the cold water.
First seven or eight.
"Baa baa baa, wuwuwu~#@@#?"
Youye never stopped, and there was no end to the sea creatures rushing up.
What is this?
I actually saw a shark ten times bigger than me rolling around in the shallow water with its mouth wide open. It seemed that it had discovered it and wanted to rush over again.
"Paji——"
But when You Ye moved his tail, the huge creature seemed to let out a weird scream, and was completely shot back to the sea.
"Alright, big brother, now you just need to choose the fastest one among them."
You Ye got off the rock and walked up to Su Yao, smiling as if asking for credit.
"that."
Su Yao swallowed hard and saw a dark mass of strange marine life in the shallow water area at most five or six meters away from him, and smelled a strong unpleasant smell.
"Could these all be suitors responding to your mating signals?"
"Yes, but Youye won't mate with them."
You Ye walked to the shallow water without any scruples and got very close to those creatures. But no matter whether they were creatures dozens of times larger than You Ye's body or small creatures, no one dared to attack her.
"That's it. Swordfish can run 130 kilometers in one hour."
"Youye moves very slowly in the water. With them, we can get there in a while."
"Wow wow wow, ah wow wow! ###!"
I saw Youye making an unknown sound again, but this time it was a bit sharp, as if he was driving away.
Soon, those strange black shadows all left sadly.
ah?
Why do you say it's sad?
In short, even if there were creatures that rushed up to try to mate with You Ye but were rejected and could not go back to the deep sea, they were all taken away by You Ye in a friendly manner with their tails.
Only the ferocious swordfish remained in the shallow water.
Su Yao searched on the encyclopedia.
As Yu Ye said, the speed of the Swordfish can reach about 130 kilometers per hour.
It looks like...
The body is short and strong, the tail stalk is short, thin and flat, with a well-developed central ridge on each side and no other small ridges. The snout extends forward into a flat and sharp sword-like protrusion. The eyes are large, and the teeth are small and follow the
It gradually disappears as it grows, and the adult fish has no jaw teeth.
No gill rakers. The first dorsal fin has a short base, is triangular, and is far away from the second dorsal fin. The second dorsal fin is small and located at the rear of the body; the pectoral fin is low; there is no pelvic fin; the caudal fin is deeply bifurcated and powerful, and the end of the caudal peduncle has upper and lower fins.
Deep concave.
Swordfish are generally 3 meters long, with a maximum length of 5 meters and a maximum weight of about 650 kilograms. Females are usually larger than males. In the Pacific Ocean, the largest swordfish is found, with an average measured length of 1.2-1.9m.
Although he didn't quite understand the characteristics mentioned in the encyclopedia, he approached cautiously and looked at the flapping fish about the size of a human. Su Yao, who had never seen the sea or such a big fish, felt a little bit better.
subtle.
"Don't rub Yuye's tail."
When I saw Youye raising her tail up, it seemed like there was a fish underneath that had been plotting something against her tail.
Could it be that these ferocious guys instinctively knew that the tail was...
"Brother, let's stay in Youye's tail as before."
You Ye rolled her tail into a space where Su Yao could enter, and wrapped it in it.
Then he leaned on the fins, and this time Su Yao clearly felt the creature under his butt shaking.
He took a closer look at the tail that wrapped around him. It was dark blue and had two bones that looked like bones. The pink little lotus tips seemed to have never come out of the body.
In other words, that tail is for your exclusive supply. These fish don't deserve it.
?
Why should I breathe a sigh of relief about this?
"Brother, are you leaving?"
"Let's go."
Strange.
Very strange.
Not only Su Yao, but also You Ye was sitting on the fish.
It's not just a swordfish, it should be said that it's a school of swordfish that are moving fast around Youye and himself.
"Why do these fish listen to you so much? Can you talk to them?"
"No, Youye used to imitate various sounds and frequencies of fish when he had nothing to do at the beach. The virus in Youye's body can prompt the body to release hormones that match it."
"And in their opinion, Youye's genes are the most perfect, so they all like her."
"This will send a signal to let them know that they can mate with Youye wherever they want to take Youye, and they will all rush to take Youye there. They are very cute and obedient."
"Then, what should we do when we get there?"
Su Yao asked subconsciously.
"Although the swordfish is tough, it is also delicious."
“···”
The weird feeling of being bullied that I had just felt was gone.
Just feeling the school of swordfish below him happily working hard for his ideals, Su Yao suddenly felt a little pitiful for them.
"Youye, swordfish are protected animals. Let's release them when they arrive."
