Lu Banxia walked out of the ward, his lifeless pupils without a trace of ripples, and the fingers that clenched the cold metal slowly relaxed and stiffened. When he turned around, he saw Lu Zi's unkind look.
Lu Zijing stood in front of her with crisp footsteps in high heels, raising her head and chest, and said in an aggressive manner, "What are you doing here? Don't you think Dad is angry enough with you? Do you have to kill us?"
Are you happy when your whole family is forced to death? Lu Banxia, you are so vicious!"
There was no blood on Lu Banxia's face, her thin lips were tightly pursed in an emotionless arc, and her withered eyes were staring at her quietly under her dry hair...
Lu Zijing saw that she was still silent and raised her eyebrows slightly. There was something wrong with her expression...
Lu Banxia narrowed her eyes and walked past her quietly without saying a word.
"Lu Banxia..." Lu Zi looked at her thin back with surprised eyes and secretly wondered. This was not Lu Banxia. If he had said such words before, she would have ridiculed her in a sarcastic way. Why didn't she say a word today?
Also, her eyes are very strange!
Lu Banxia paused when she heard the voice, turned around and looked at her, her voice was indifferent and her words were concise: "Take care of daddy."
After the sound fell, he turned around and left.
Lu Zijin pursed his thin lips, but before he had time to speak, he watched her back disappear at the end of the corridor, blurred bit by bit against the light...
The window he walked to was open, and the wind blew in in waves. The smell of flowing disinfectant dispersed in the air, and Lu Zijin felt a chill on his back.
A very strange feeling spread in my heart, and there was a very strange thought in my mind——
That back view is very lonely.
Lu Zijin came back to his senses, shook his head, and then raised a sneer on his lips, immediately driving away the ridiculous thoughts in his mind!
**********************Master, please recommend the dividing line for votes************************

Lu Banxia took a taxi back, and the driver parked the car diagonally opposite the door. Through the window, she could see Li Yueqi's car and the blurry figure in the car.
"Miss, do you want to get off the car?" The driver waited for a long time and couldn't help but asked when she didn't get off the car.
Lu Banxia was silent for a moment and shook his head: "No, send me to another place."
This relationship has broken her heart and soul, and she no longer has the slightest strength to be entangled with him.
The driver nodded, started the engine and drove away. When passing the white car, Lu Banxia deliberately bent down.
Sitting in the car, Li Yueqi's attention was focused on the door of the community, and he did not notice his longing shadow in the car speeding by.
*
Lu Banxia came to Qin Nansi, which surprised him. In his opinion, Lu Banxia was too strong, and she would not open her mouth easily, let alone ask for help.
The bitter blue mountain flowed down from the throat and flowed into the deepest part of the heart. Lu Banxia held the coffee cup in both hands and looked at Qin Nansi with dim eyes, "I came today to ask you to do me a favor!"
"Say." Qin Nansi didn't ask what happened, let alone why she was looking for him.
"Help me find out who is secretly targeting Lu Zijin."
Qin Nansi paused with his fingers holding the spoon, put down the spoon, and looked at her deeply: "Then?"
"Then it's my own business." Lu Banxia replied calmly. The reason why she went to Nansi instead of investigating herself was because she didn't want to make the matter a big deal. Qin Nansi was different. He was a former guard chief and wanted to investigate secretly.
Some things are much easier than her.
What's more, it was Lu Zijin's matter, and she didn't want to investigate it herself.
Even if she had to intervene, she didn't want to investigate the matter herself.
Qin Nansi did not ask what she would do next. After taking a sip of coffee, he said, "Give me some time, tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
Although Lu Zijing is not a big figure, the people in the country know her identity and target her. Her identity is not ordinary. Lu Banxia probably guessed that it might be related to high-level officials, so it is so taboo!
"Thank you!" Lu Banxia put down the money for the coffee and stood up to leave.
"Where are you going?" Qin Nansi knew that Li Yueqi must be waiting for her at the door of Lu Banxia, and also knew that she was avoiding Li Yueqi.
She won’t go to the Lu family. Madam, she won’t go looking for her. Where can she go alone?
Lu Banxia's body stiffened for a moment, and his voice was calm and calm, "The capital is so big, there will always be a place for me."
Qin Nansi frowned, but before she could speak, she was already walking towards the door.
The wind chimes at the door rang rapidly. Before Lu Banxia could reach the door, he saw Xing Tian running in. He was probably running too fast, panting slightly, and his face was a little red from being exposed to the sun.
"Secretary-General Lu." Xing Tian gasped, his dark eyes shining brightly when he looked at her.
Lu Banxia nodded to him calmly and subconsciously looked back at Qin Nansi. Without asking, he knew it was him who informed Xing Tian.
She was in a state of embarrassment but Xingtian showed up and reached out to save her. She owed Xingtian a lot and didn't want to trouble him anymore, so she didn't ask Xingtian for help, but Qin Nansi.
There is a difference between Qin Nansi and Xingtian after all!
When Qin Nansi saw Xing Tian arriving, he hesitated a little in his heart, wondering whether his decision was right or wrong. Then he thought about it, now is a special moment and deserves special treatment.
"Very few people know about Xingtian. You can stay there temporarily."
Xing Tian did not expect that Qin Nansi would take the initiative to call him and inform him of Lu Banxia's whereabouts. He called Lu Banxia in the morning, but she did not answer. When he arrived at the door, he found Li Yueqi waiting.
At this moment, Qin Nansi took the initiative to ask Lu Banxia to go to his place. Xing Tian was secretly looking forward to it, but also worried that she would refuse.
"No need." Lu Banxia refused lightly, "I don't want to cause any more trouble..."
"What if I say it's not troublesome at all?" Before she could finish her words, Xing Tian interrupted her and looked at her with deep pupils: "Secretary-General Lu, I don't think your temporary stay will give me
What kind of trouble has it caused? I want to do my best for you as a friend, okay!"
Lu Banxia was startled and looked at him quietly for a long time without saying anything.
It was the first time that Xing Tian spoke to her in such a strong manner, and he had already said that he was "a friend." If she refused again, it would seem that she was thinking too much.
Besides, she really had nowhere to go.
If the Secretary-General of Country C is staying in a hotel, if anyone finds out, rumors will inevitably spread again.
After hesitating for a long time, he nodded slightly, "Thank you!"
Xing Tian breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes brightened again, and he looked secretly happy at her.
If you look more carefully, you can see his two big ears, which are extremely crimson.
*********************The dividing line for young master’s recommendation votes******************
Xingtian lived in a one-bedroom apartment. He replaced all the bed sheets and quilts with new ones and provided all the toiletries, for fear that she would not be comfortable living there.
"You don't have to bother anymore, I'm only staying for a few days." Seeing that he was going out to buy things again, Lu Banxia couldn't help but speak.
It was not what she wanted for Xingtian to be like this.
In fact, she could go back, but Li Yueqi was waiting at the door, so it was inconvenient to get in and out.
Xing Tianxiao: "I said that it's not a trouble to do my best for my friends." He walked to the entrance and took the car keys, and asked again: "Do you have a certain brand of clothes that you wear? Do you need me to have someone give them to you?"
She didn't bring anything with her when she went out, and he couldn't let her wear her own clothes when she lived here.
"No, I'll call someone to deliver it."
"That's good. I'm a rough guy and can't take care of women. You can live here peacefully and take care of yourself. I'll be at the Presidential Palace most of the time. If you need anything, call me!" Xing Tian said, starting from
He took out the house key from his pocket and put it on the shoe cabinet, "Here is the key. The spare key is under the coffee table."
He said he was a rough man, but his behavior was full of care and delicacy. For the sake of Lu Banxia's peace of mind, he could give all the keys to his house to Lu Banxia. He was a gentleman and extremely considerate.
"Thanks."
Xing Tian smiled, turned around and left without saying anything more.
Lu Banxia looked around Xingtian's house. It was decorated in a simple style. The living room only had a small sofa and a small coffee table. There was no phone or TV. It was obvious that he was telling the truth. He really just came back to sleep.
There are very few things in the kitchen. The range hood is still brand new, which shows that he has never cooked before. There is nothing in the refrigerator except ice wine and peanuts.
He is really such a simple man.
***
Xing Tian bought a lot of things, including food, daily necessities, magazines, and mobile phone chargers. He was afraid that she would be bored and put an extra mobile phone in the living room.
After putting these things down, it didn't take long for him to find a reason to leave and give her a space to be independent.
The clothing store brought all the clothes she needed. Lu Banxia took a shower, put on her pajamas, lay on a single bed, looked at the white ceiling, and felt dizzy.
The phone buzzed on the front desk, and she reached out to take it and look at it.
It was a text message sent by Li Yueqi——
Xia Xia, does your face still hurt?
——Xia Xia, where are you? Come out and see me, okay?
——Xia Xia, give me a chance to explain! Let’s meet and talk!
——Why did you do that? Xia Xia, I want to hear your reasons!
——Xia Xia......
My face doesn’t hurt, but my heart hurts.
It's an explanation every time.
Li Yueqi, it's not that I didn't give you a chance, I just gave you too many chances, but in the end I didn't have a chance.
Lu Banxia turned off her phone and pulled the quilt over her face. She just wanted to sleep and not think about anything else.
Go to sleep.
…
The next day, Lu Banxia woke up from hunger. She had not eaten for more than thirty hours and her stomach ached.
She didn't have serious stomach problems like Li Yueqi, but she wasn't much better. After not eating for so long, her stomach was obviously protesting against her.
Get up, go to the kitchen and open the refrigerator.
Li Yueqi bought a lot of food for her yesterday. Rice, eggs, vegetables, canned food, and chocolate...
She first let herself eat a piece of chocolate, then washed the rice, put it in the rice cooker to cook, then took out the vegetables and washed them. Every step was done slowly and skillfully, as if she was taking her work seriously.
One dish, one soup, and one bowl of rice were enough to satisfy her protesting stomach.
After the meal, she was washing the dishes when her cell phone rang.
It was Qin Nansi who called. Things went smoother than they expected. There was news in advance. Lu Banxia was still cleaning the bowl with her fingers. Qin Nansi's voice came from the earphones. Her movements stopped for a second and returned to normal.
Any abnormalities.
Wiping the bowl dry and putting it in the cupboard. She turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the window. It was covered with greenery and extremely hot, and everything seemed to be enveloped in a furnace.
Lu Banxia felt that this was the most difficult summer in her life.
************************Master, please recommend the dividing line for votes******************
At the Presidential Palace, after the meeting, Long Pei saw Lu Banxia waiting for him in the office and raised his eyebrows: "You are not on vacation!"
Lu Banxia stood in front of his desk, his eyelashes as thin as cicada wings trembled slightly, and he said in a dry voice: "Your Excellency, I have something to ask you."
Being able to let Lu Banxia use the word "seeking" is not an easy matter.
Long Pei sat down, glanced at her sideways, and said favorably, indicating that she could continue.
"I heard that your Excellency and your wife have a good relationship with the Secretary of State. Can you please help persuade the Secretary of State to go around Lu Zijin? The Lu family would be very grateful." Lu Banxia lowered his head and almost didn't dare to look at Long Pei's eyes.
She had lived for so many years and had never bowed her head to beg anyone, but this time she begged twice, not for herself.
Long Pei frowned, "The reason!"
He had heard about what the Secretary of State had said about Lu Zijin. The smiling tiger was always gentle and calm on the surface, but when he turned around, he made others die without even knowing how they died.
He asked Lu Banxia why, it was not only the reason why the Secretary of State wanted to target Lu Zijin, but also the reason why Lu Banxia wanted to intercede for Lu Zijin!
Not long ago, several second-generation high-ranking officials were involved in a lawsuit, and the reason was Mi(annihilation). Lu Zijin was just starting out, and in order to gain a more stable position in the legal world, he naturally took up the lawsuit actively.
In order to help several second-generation officials get away with their crimes, she fought this lawsuit at all costs. Among these people, there was a young man who was clean and beautiful, but his family background was not good. The reason why he was implicated was entirely because he sent something in that night.
, he was dragged by several people to play together, but he did not participate in it from beginning to end, and tried his best to stop it, but unfortunately failed.
Because the victim was a poor orphan, he didn't care about money, he just wanted justice for himself, and refused to settle out of court until his death. In desperation, Lu Zijin thought of putting all the evidence on that young man with no family background.
.
The lawsuit was almost successful, but who would have thought that it would be reversed in the end. Lu Zijing lost the case, several second-generation officials were convicted, and the young man was released innocently.
It turned out that the young man was not a person without a family background. He was the younger brother of the Secretary of State's new wife. Because his parents separated, he lost contact with his sister and mother. His father died of illness not long ago. He dropped out of school to work. Unexpectedly, he was involved in such an incident.
.
The Secretary of State’s newlywed wife saw the newspaper and recognized her brother, so naturally she would not stand idly by...
With the intervention of the Secretary of State, Lu Zijing's methods were simply not enough. In addition, the Secretary of State was eager to protect his wife. Not only would Lu Zijing lose the case, but he would also face an investigation by the Bar Association.
This can be regarded as stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
Because the Secretary of State's actions were obscure, few people knew about it. Only those at the top of the circle could find out.
Lu Zijin, it is his own fault and he will not survive!
…
Long Pei pondered for a while, that boy was fine now, if he spoke up, the Secretary of State would still betray his reputation.
but--
"Do you really want to help?" Long Pei would naturally not take a low-level character like Lu Zijin seriously, but Lu Banxia was different. He felt that if Lu Zijin was killed, Lu Banxia would probably have a lot less troubles.
.
Lu Banxia pursed her thin lips slightly with a self-deprecating smile, "I have to help!"
"Okay." Long Pei nodded.
It's not a big deal at all. He opened his mouth better than Lu Banxia. After all, the Secretary of State has always disliked Lu Banxia. The Secretary of State believes that women are like water and soft is better, but Lu Banxia is as cold as iron. Politically speaking, the two of them are
Personal opinions often run counter to each other.
Even if Lu Banxia is willing to lower his head and beg the Secretary of State, that guy will probably make things difficult for him.
It's better to speak directly and deal with this matter yourself.
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Lu Banxia bowed respectfully, and then handed a letter to him, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency!"
The envelope said - Resignation!
Long Pei's eagle eyes suddenly tightened: "Why?"
This matter has been settled, why does she still submit her resignation?
"Sir, you can clearly see what state I am in during this period. What you need is someone who can help you wholeheartedly, not Banxia."
She didn't think about resigning for a day or two. She didn't want to enter the political arena at the beginning, she just followed Bai Ziyan's footsteps.
Bai Ziyan died, and she stood where he once stood, becoming increasingly cold and powerless. She gave all her best time to the gorgeous and noble Presidential Palace. Now she just wants to let go of everything, the Lu family, and her identity as Secretary-General.
Live a good life for yourself.
Long Pei Ning's eyes were full of hatred that iron could not be transformed into steel. Bai Ziyan was like this, and Lu Banxia was also unsatisfactory!
He directly stuffed his resignation into the shredder, "I don't approve it!"
"Your Mightiness……"
"I will arrange for you to go to England for a study and exchange program, which will last for about a year." Long Pei said coldly, with a decisive tone that did not give Lu Banxia a chance to speak.
There is no shortage of talents in the presidential palace. Lu Banxia was picked by Bai Ziyan, and he trusted him. Besides, he really admired Lu Banxia and wanted to entrust him with important tasks.
Lu Banxia watched her resignation turn into pieces of rubbish and fell into the trash can. No one can go against your decision, and the same goes for her.
Long Pei waved her hand to let her go out.
Lu Banxia leaned forward and silently exited the office.
It was 5:30 in the afternoon when I walked out of the Presidential Palace. The sun in the west was still very hot, and my skin was red and a little painful.
Her hair was scattered, covering half of her red and swollen face, but if you look closely, you can still tell that when you saw it just now, you didn't mention that it was to save her affection and self-esteem.
Lu Zijin treated her like this, and she still wanted to help Lu Zijin. Just as she said: she had to help!
Xing Tian held an umbrella and walked to her side, "It's not like Secretary-General Lu would do anything if you don't cherish yourself so much."
Lu Banxia slowly turned her head to look at him, with a genuine smile on her thin lips: "Thank you." She took the umbrella in his hand.
Xing Tian was stunned for a moment, unable to tell whether the "thank you" in her mouth meant "umbrella" or...
"Can you lend me your car keys?"
"Okay." Xing Tian handed the car key to her palm and asked worriedly: "Where are you going?"
Thin and curled eyelashes drooped to cover the cold frost under the eyes. After a moment, the voice was as light as a gust of wind, "A place that I have always wanted to visit."
