After Lu Sheng finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving Luo Xi standing on the stairs for a long time, clutching the railing under her hands tightly with her slender fingers, inhaling again and again. Finally, she enlightened herself, it doesn't matter, this method won't work, isn't there another way?
Is there any other way? She will definitely find out the truth about that year.
Tangxin was still sleeping, so Luo Xi went into the kitchen to bake snacks for her to eat when she woke up.
Soon, Lu Sheng appeared again, having changed into wet clothes. His complexion did not look good and his cheeks were a little pale.
The rain outside is still pattering, bringing with it the chill of late autumn and early winter.
She raised her head and glanced at him. He was standing there pouring water.
Luo Xi adjusted the temperature of the oven and was about to clean up the kitchen when suddenly there was a crisp sound behind her and the glass cup fell to the marble floor, shattering into pieces.
Lu Sheng stood in front of a pile of broken glass and seemed stunned for a moment. Aunt Zhang ran out when she heard the sound and quickly picked up the cleaning tools.
"Sir, don't get hurt."
Listening to the sound of sweeping the floor, Luo Xi was a little confused. With Lu Sheng's stability, he could hold a sniper rifle for several hours without moving. Why couldn't he even hold a glass of water? Looking at his face again, he seemed to be even worse than before.
A little paler.
Before she could dig deeper, he had already opened the door and said, "If you don't come back for dinner tonight, you don't have to leave any food for me."
As soon as she finished speaking, the person had disappeared from sight, and her haste made her feel like she was running away from something.
She didn't know whether she should ask Aunt Zhang. The words swirled around her lips before she finally swallowed them.
Sometimes she hated herself for being so soft-hearted. She had made up her mind a hundred times to sever ties with him, but when she really faced him, she hesitated and wavered.
After the cake went into the oven, Luo Xi took out her phone and sent Lin Ziheng a text message.
After a while, there was an echo from there.
"Sorry, Luo Xi, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. Even the top prosecutor of the local court can't investigate it."
She hurriedly knocked back, "Is there no other way?"
"Your father's incident could have caused a sensation in the whole city back then, but it was suppressed silently. I can't do this, and neither can Lu Sheng, who was the battalion commander at that time."
In other words, there was a bigger force behind it, and it was that force that suppressed her father's case, but why he did it and what his ultimate purpose was, she was really confused.
"Luo Xi, I have a guess." Lin Ziheng sent a text message over there, "This matter has something to do with you."
The person who had the accident was Luo Chenggong, her father. How could it have nothing to do with her?
But as she thought about Lin Ziheng's words, she gradually understood that there might be only one reason why the other party suppressed the matter. They didn't want to hide it from the public. There was only one person they wanted to hide, and that was themselves.
"I understand, thank you."
"I'm sorry if you say that. After all, I didn't help."
"You have already helped me a lot."
"Roxi, if you have any difficulties, remember to come to me."
"Thanks."
Luo Xi was sitting by the window holding her mobile phone. The aroma of cakes came from the oven. She thought of the passwords she knew well in this house and thought of his ambiguous words, "I can't bear to let you die, Luo Xi, in this world."
Anyone can die except you."
When she sat down and recalled the past carefully in such drizzly weather, she was shocked by her own thoughts. From beginning to end, everything Lu Sheng did seemed inexplicable. If he wanted to take revenge on the Luo family and her,
For him, he has a thousand ways to make her life worse than death, and even disappearing from this world is impossible.
With Luo's success, he could have caused a storm in the city and made the Luo family really infamous and ruined. I'm afraid even she wouldn't be able to survive in this city, but he chose to hide it.
Lu Sheng, why is it that after so long, you are still like a mystery, with a heavy layer of fog always covering her face, and every time she feels that she is getting closer, she is invisibly farther away.
"Mom, what are you baking?" When the candy core came to her eyes, she was lying on her knees, looking up at her.
Only then did she withdraw from her thoughts and kissed her daughter's soft little face, "I'm baking a cake for you."
"When will it be baked?" There is deep expectation in the shining eyes.
"It will be soon." She grabbed her daughter's hand, "Here, wash your hands before eating the cake."
"Mom, can you leave some for dad?"
"He doesn't eat sweets." She said it so smoothly that she was stunned for a moment.
She remembers all his preferences, just like he remembers that she doesn't eat onions and coriander. Some habits have been burned into the bottom of her heart and flowed into her lungs. She wants to forget them unless she digs out her heart and lungs.
"The chocolate cake is freshly baked, let's try it."
A plate of delicious cakes was placed on the coffee table, with several small silver forks next to it.
Zhou Huiyi took off her apron and sat beside Lu Sheng naturally, "Lu, if you don't want to eat cake, I'll prepare vinegar seaweed for you."
Xu Chuanyang, who was opposite, joked: "Captain, Hui Yi always carries a book with her, and the title is "Captain's Hobbies"."
Zhou Huiyi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Xu Chuanyang, you also have a book with you..."
The fat man asked hurriedly: "What?"
"Don't Give Up Treatment."
"Ha ha."
Even Lu Sheng smiled this time. Although there was still a trace of tiredness between his brows, the smile bloomed as brightly as an epiphyllum.
At this time, Ye Hanxuan came over after answering the phone and sat on the single sofa. He picked up a piece of cake with a small fork and put it into his mouth. Zhou Huiyi immediately asked expectantly: "How is it?"
He nodded, "Yes, my craftsmanship has improved again."
"Of course." Zhou Huiyi raised her eyebrows quite proudly, "As a member of the Ghost Army, you must always keep improving."
The fat man also said: "I like to eat the food made by Hui Yi the most, it is more delicious than what is sold outside."
Xu Chuanyang muttered to the side, "Let her make some weight loss pills for you sometime. Look at your belly. It's easy to be discovered even if you hide behind a tree."
The fat man punched him in dissatisfaction, "What do you know, kid? I don't rely on my looks to make a living. I'm not like you. I just have a good-looking face, and other things..." The fat man glanced at him with disdain.
"Good for nothing."
"Hey, you fat man, you're laughing at my brother and you're looking for a beating, right? Do you want to try?"
While everyone was chatting about the fuss, Lu Sheng suddenly said in a calm voice, "Okay, I have a mission."
The living room that was noisy just now fell silent immediately, and everyone straightened up with serious expressions, waiting for his next order.
"The mission target is a nuclear warhead, which was smuggled by the underworld organization of Country E. It is one of the three warheads lost in the arsenal of Country E. Our purpose is to find it."
"Are there any clues so far?" Xu Chuanyang asked.
"Yes, the clue is a man from E country named Ivan. I will give Han Xuan his contact information later."
Ye Hanxuan nodded, "I understand."
"This mission has not started yet. I am waiting for Mr. Cui's order. Let me tell you, I want you to make mental preparations first." Lu Sheng rubbed his brows and seemed very tired. "You guys sit down, I will go up and take a rest."
Lu Sheng got up and walked upstairs, and Ye Hanxuan followed him, whispering beside him: "There is news about RNA antidote in country R."
