Spring Branches

Lu Yichuan asked: "Where are you now? Who are you with?"

Ana said, "I'm at the entrance of the Little Kindergarten."

"Why did you go to kindergarten?" Lu Yichuang asked, frowning.

Ana was stunned for two seconds, and then he stuttered when he spoke again.

"I...I thought Xiaoxiao came...came to school. Yesterday my mother brought me some delicious food from her hometown, and I gave it to her. She...she was not here, and the teacher was not here either."

Lu Yichuan said calmly, "Xiao Xiao is sick and is at home now. As for the female teacher... I'll go over and take a look. Please send me a location."

As soon as the phone call was hung up, Ana sent a text message to Lu Yichuang on WeChat.

The location is in a remote factory.

This was clearly a premeditated act.

Lu Yichuang sent a voice message to Ana.

"Well, Xiaoxiao is at home with her grandmother. Her grandmother just said that Xiaoxiao has some rashes on her body. If you are okay now, take the doctor over to have a look. I will go and see what happened to the kidnapping."

After this voice message was sent, Ana replied with a text message within seconds.

——Mr. Lu, are you...really going to go?

Lu Yichuan chuckled.

——Didn’t the spy say that was Xiao Si? If it’s true, I have to go and rescue her. I miss her very much.

This message was sent, but there was no reply from the other party.

Lu Yichuan waited for five minutes, but there was still no response from the other side.

So he stood up, picked up his suit jacket and walked towards the door.

Just as I grabbed the door handle and was about to push it out, someone knocked on the door from outside.

The secretary said, "Mr. Lu."

Lu Yichuan opened the door.

I saw the secretary standing at the door holding a pile of documents, looking calm.

Lu Yichuan frowned.

The secretary said, "Boss Lu, Assistant An Na told me this morning that all these must be signed today."

Did you give it to me this morning?

Still need to sign?

Lu Yichuan frowned, thinking about something.

The secretary interrupted his thoughts: "Mr. Lu, are you going out now?"

Lu Yichuang walked into the office again and sat down on the sofa at the door.

The secretary came in and placed all the documents on the computer desk.

Lu Yichuan said: "Did you tell him over the phone just now, or did you tell him this this morning?"

The secretary hesitated, looked at Lu Yichuan's face again, lowered his head silently, and said: "...Ana just told me to make sure you sign all these documents."

As the secretary finished speaking, Lu Yichuan's cell phone vibrated.

He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Ana.

——Mr. Lu, what if she is not Sister Tang?

Lu Yichuan sneered.

——If not... just consider it as an ending where I can let go of her in my heart.

Ana didn't reply.

After waiting for a while, there was still no reply.

At this time, the secretary's cell phone vibrated again.

The secretary didn't look at it. She put the phone behind her back in panic, and her body began to tremble slightly unconsciously.

Lu Yichuang took a look and lowered his head again.

Suddenly he raised his head again.

He said, "Leave these documents here until I finish my work and come back to sign them. You can go down first."

"But..." The secretary hesitated: "...Assistant Ana said that these documents are very important and you must sign them immediately."

"When did I need you to arrange my life?" Lu Yichuan asked back.

The secretary lowered his head: "I dare not."

In the end, the secretary couldn't stop Lu Yichuang, and he still walked into the elevator with his coat.

Seeing the elevator door close, the secretary hurriedly sent a message to Lu Yichuang.

——Mr. Lu went out and I couldn’t stop him.

--waste.

……

Lu Yichuan left the group’s building.

The weather is very hot today, with the temperature reaching 40 degrees Celsius.

The ground was so hot from the sun that you would have to pull your feet back if you touched it. The sun was hanging high in the sky, and only the shade of the trees was cooler.

Lu Yichuan lowered his head and looked through the address book.

He stopped at the contact with the note "Lao An" and made a phone call.

"Come and pick me up at the Shen Group building."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yichuang found a shady place to stand.

Lao An is Lu Yichuan's driver. He knows a lot about Lu Yichuan. He is closer to him than An Na. Although he is old and retired, Lu Yichuan will look for Lao An whenever he has important matters.

After waiting for about five minutes, Lao An came over.

Lu Yichuan got in the car.

Lao An said, "Mr. Lu, long time no see."

They haven't seen each other for more than six years since Lao An retired. Although they have been in contact, it was all through the Internet and they have never met in person.

Compared to when he was working, Lao An now looks particularly energetic and does not look like a man in his 70s.

Lu Yichuan nodded: "How are you doing recently?"

Lao An turned his head, looked at the rearview mirror and said, "Anyway, it's pretty relaxing. Although life is a bit boring now, it's... safe. Hahaha."

"Where are you going, Mr. Lu?"

"The old second factory." Lu Yichuang said.

"Where are you going?" Old An frowned.

Lu Yichuan smiled and said, "I was tricked."

When Lao An retired, Lu Yichuan said that if a matter of life or death occurred, Lao An would appear.

When Lu Yichuan called him unexpectedly, Lao An more or less understood something.

Lu Yichuan is in his 30s and is in charge of such a large company. Outsiders are eyeing him covetously and there are jealous eyes every day. Lao An has always known in his heart that there will be a war one day, and this war will change the layout of the entire city A.

I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

He's only been gone for a year.

You always have to face it, whether it comes late or late.

Old An smiled.

Lu Yichuan also laughed.

Lao An said, "It's okay, Mr. Lu. We will take whatever comes. Anyway, no matter how we fight, you will not lose."

Lu Yichuan raised his eyebrows: "Do you trust me so much?"

"You have the strength, but you have been hiding it. I know everything." Lao An said, "Many things have happened over the years. Although it seems that we have always been trampled underfoot, we are actually in control. You don't fight them, but just wait for the little princess to grow up. When the child is older and knows the cruelty of the world, then you will start to deal with them."

Lu Yichuan laughed out loud.

When Lu Yichuan is with Lao An, he always feels at ease. If there are things he doesn't want to say, Lao An will take the initiative to help him say them out. It's as if Lao An is another version of himself.

Lao An said: "I haven't seen you for so many years, but I didn't expect Mr. Lu's laughter is still so magical and refreshing."

Lu Yichuan stopped laughing and became serious: "Please stop making fun of me."

Lao An cleared his throat and became serious: "Speaking of which, why didn't An Na come with you this time?"

Lu Yichuan sighed as if disappointed, a look of deep loneliness appeared on his face, and he turned his head to look out the window: "...Few people really treat me well. They all make their choices after weighing the pros and cons, and I am always the one who is abandoned."

After Lu Yichuang said this, Lao An naturally understood what he meant.

Ana betrayed Lu Yichuan.

But there is one thing that Lao An doesn’t understand.

Lu Yichuang was so good to Ana, and even treated her as his own brother. Why did Ana betray Lu Yichuang?

Lao An said, "What's the big deal? Let me tell you something even more chilling."

So Lao An began to talk endlessly about his family affairs. Halfway through, Lao An's eyes were filled with tears. Lu Yichuan could see that they were tears of grievance and heartbreak.

The son who was raised by his own hands abandoned his parents and children for a woman. This kind of thing would be particularly sad for anyone.

Besides, Lao An is already old, and he cares most about his family. However, he was betrayed by his family. This blow was so great, but he still faced life with a smile. He is worthy of learning for everyone.

"It's okay, Old An." Lu Yichuan said, "Let him do whatever he wants. Just treat him as if you don't have this child. Anyway, you still have your grandchildren and your lover in your life. Everything will still be going smoothly. One less or one more won't make a difference."

Lao An nodded: "Yeah, it will get better and better."

Lao An asked: "How are you going to deal with this matter, Mr. Lu?"

"..."

Lu Yichuang told Lao An his solution and gave him a brief account of the cause and effect. Lao An was very surprised.

But since it has already happened, we should think about facing and solving it instead of complaining about why those people did this and why they were so cruel to such a good boss.

Lao An strongly agrees with Lu Yichuang's decision.

Suddenly, the cell phone in Lu Yichuan's pocket rang.

"Yeah." Lu Yichuang said and answered the phone.

Ana said, "Mr. Lu, where are you now?"

Lu Yichuan said: "I'm on the way to the factory. Have you gone to see Xiaoxiao?"

Ana said, "I'm at home right now, and I just wanted to tell you that I accidentally let it slip. Xiaoxiao knows that you're going to save the teacher, and she's very emotional now. I don't know what to do."

After he finished speaking, several shrill screams were heard over the phone.

Subconsciously, Lu Yichuang frowned tightly.

No matter how others treat him, Lu Yichuang will never let anyone go if they lay hands on a child.

Lu Yichuan said solemnly: "Ah."

Ana said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu."

Ah Na said, "I just called the doctor and asked him to come and give Xiao Xiao a sedative."

Lu Yichuan said: "No, you can bring the child over."

"What?!" Ana was extremely shocked and surprised.

What are you going to do with your kids?

Does he want to die together with those people?

Ah Na said, "Mr. Lu, it's not safe over there. We can't take Xiao Xiao over there. Xiao Xiao is still young and can't be stimulated."

Lu Yichuan just sighed softly and said nothing more.

Lao An in the driver's seat looked at Lu Yichuan through the rearview mirror.

During these five years, Lu Yichuang had a very hard life.

Although he seemed very happy surrounded by the love of his children, Lao An could see that Lu Yichuang was really not happy at all.

He could have done something bold, but because he had a child, he had been patient and yielded, restraining himself from being impulsive, and because of this he missed a lot of things. He was originally a person who could not restrain himself and did whatever he wanted, and he would not let these people run wild on him for so long before taking action.

It's all because the child became a stumbling block.

Lu Yichuan's brows were deeply furrowed.

Lao An felt a little sorry for him.

Ah Na said again: "Are you serious, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Yichuan said: "She should also see this bloody scene. As my child, she should get used to this kind of scene."

Without giving the other party a chance to speak, Lu Yichuang hung up the phone.

Lao An took a bottle of water from the small refrigerator, handed it to the person in the back seat, and said, "Mr. Lu, drink some water first. You still have time to work hard later."

Lu Yichuang took the water and drank it in big gulps.

He drank a full bottle of water in a short while.

He didn't sleep well last night, and his current location was still some time away from the old second factory, so Lu Yichuan leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Lao An hasn't participated in this kind of "battle" for more than five years and is particularly excited.

They all couldn't help but hum a little tune.

This is his favorite and best area.

In his own field, Lao An is no longer an old man over 70, but a young man in his early 30s.

Lu Yichuan has been very tired these days.

I slept less than five hours last night.

He tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. His mind was filled with thoughts of what had happened recently.

He originally wanted to resolve the matter later and let Xiaoxiao celebrate her sixth birthday, but those people no longer gave him time and forced him to go the strong way. The more they pushed, the more Xiaoxiao would be hurt if Lu Yichuan followed the plan.

By then, Xiaoxiao will still be the most difficult one.

Lu Yichuan suddenly felt a little regretful that he did not save Tang Asi but saved Xiaoxiao instead.

Children are too fragile and have never experienced such scenes. After seeing these bloody scenes, 95% of them will be traumatized.

But what can be done?

Xiaoxiao has been saved.

Sometimes Lu Yichuan would think about his past with Tang Asi at night, and always felt that the girl was too selfish and always thought about herself. But when things really happened, Lu Yichuan felt that he was too selfish.

At this time, I actually felt regretful for giving birth to Xiaoxiao.

Over the years, Xiao Xiao has brought so much happiness to Lu Yichuan that his personality has changed completely. He has become gentle and patient.

How could he regret saving Xiaoxiao?

Lu Yichuang cursed himself in his heart.

Don't know what is good or bad.

Soon, the car arrived at the old No. 2 Factory.

Lao An said, "Mr. Lu, we're here."

Lu Yichuan opened his eyes.

Looking at the factory in front of him filled with waste, Lu Yichuan suddenly felt a headache.

He remembered that he seemed to have been here before.

When did you come?

Suddenly, a vague, blurred memory appeared in Lu Yichuang's mind.
