evildoers

Lu Zhixu was going crazy with anxiety.

When he woke up this morning, he almost thought that everything that happened last night was a nightmare.

Unfortunately, no.

He opened his eyes and looked at the alarm clock beside the bed.

It was already nine o'clock, but Baby Lu Jiaming didn't jump onto his bed, shaking him to get him up.

All kinds of things from last night came up, the fact that the baby was missing, the little corpse covered under the white cloth, the smell of blood in the garden of the Li family...

The sharp pain spread from his chest all the way up, and he sat up "teng", before it went black for a while.

A hand reached out and supported him.

The young man in a blue sweater, with his usual gentle voice, even though his brows were frowning, was still reassuring.

"The teacher is awake?"

While supporting Lu Zhixu, Xia Chen had already brought over a thermos that was placed beside the bed.

"Where is the baby, did you find it?!" Lu Zhixu grabbed Xia Chen's clothes, at this moment, he was just a young father.

"Teacher, drink the porridge first." Xia Chen stood up, put the thermos in front of Lu Zhixu, and put his computer on the bedside table with one hand.

Lu Zhixu's speed of drinking porridge is definitely his fastest in these years.

When he put down the thermos, he realized that Xia Chen was holding a spoon and looking helplessly at the side.

"Tell me now!"

"The baby is in Yuling Mountain, roughly at this location." Xia Chen took the thermos and placed his computer in front of Lu Zhixu.

City C is built around Lushan Mountain, which happens to be a branch of Yuling Mountain Range.

Although Lu Zhixu usually used a tablet computer to cut fruit, he had no experience with military computers like TacFleet8, so he called Xia Chen anxiously: "Where is it?!"

Xia Chen clicked on the combat map on the computer, and the screen was replaced by two parts. The small map showed the situation of the entire encirclement circle, and the yellow light spots on it kept moving, forming two encirclement circles inside and outside, constantly shrinking the encirclement range.

On the big map, there are shockingly clear images, even the vegetation in the forest is presented on the screen.

"What is this?" Lu Zhixu was horrified.

"Satellite monitoring." Xia Chen said lightly.

Although Professor Lu's income is considered high-end, his education and knowledge are extremely high, but he is just a commoner after all. Even if he occasionally follows Xu Xu, he goes to some discordant forums and scolds some cynical college students. The authorities wanted to speculate about China's national defense expenditures, but he was still very shocked when such a secret thing was placed in front of him.

Xia Chen also didn't intend to continue this topic, turned over the computer, put it on the bedside table, and said, "Teacher, don't worry too much, the other party's intention of kidnapping the children is to blackmail my cousin, so the children will be fine for the time being."

"What about after the blackmail? What if your cousin doesn't agree, what if they tear up the ticket?" Lu Zhixu lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed.

"Teacher has a low fever, it's better to stay on the bed, don't be too anxious." Xia Chen put his hand on his shoulder, but didn't intend to push him back - he had a good tutor and never liked to force others.

But Lu Zhixu didn't have time to think about it now.

He blurted out a sentence: "It's not your son, of course you are not in a hurry,"

Even Xia Chen's face changed slightly because of these words.

However, he did not refute Lu Zhixu.

He actually has a lot to say.

He didn't say anything, until the moment Lu Zhixu said that sentence, he was still wearing the miniature earphones connected with Lin Wei in his ears. This is the reason why he chose Lin Wei - he didn't want Lu Zhixu to worry.

He also didn't say that last night, the people led by Zheng Lin found a half-burned coat with blood in a burning garbage dump near the outskirts of the city. That coat was exactly what babies often wear. The one with the rabbit ears, the blood test results have not yet been sent out.

He didn't even mention that he, Xia Chen, was able to stand here and direct the entire search and rescue operation, how much manpower was used, and the past ten years of keeping a low profile was for nothing. When the matter with the baby was over, what he had to face was The hostility of those uncles in the Xia family, and the questioning of Mr. Xia.

He was born on a thornbush and grew on a thornbush.He won't lose his temper, won't break down and cry bitterly, Lu Zhixu can vent to him, but he has learned not to show his emotions a long time ago.

He is Xia Chen, but he didn't say.In the early hours of this morning, he was making porridge for Lu Zhixu in the kitchen with headphones on. Lin Wei's search and rescue team was advancing step by step in the mountainous area. He even took the time to take Lu Zhixu's temperature...

Life is not a movie, there is not so much hysteria, not so much grief, he is Xia Chen, he can't command Lin Wei to advance while trembling.For a home to be stable, there must always be someone who should take all the responsibilities, like the load-bearing beam of the house, no matter what happens, it must never fall down, there is no excuse, no but.Even if everyone is crying, he has to stand there, unwavering.

His words are clear, and he lifts the weight lightly, and he treats it calmly without losing his composure.

That doesn't mean he's not afraid, or that he's not nervous.

There are many kinds of people in this world. Some people like to say everything, while others don’t say anything. Whether they are nervous or afraid, they all have such gentle and calm expressions. Even if you think the sky is about to fall, when you see him, you will You will suddenly believe that the sky will not fall.

He just doesn't talk about it.

When Xia Chen was five years old, rumors spread throughout Beijing that his father Xia Zhixiang was dating the most popular movie actress at that time. Someone ran up to Li Biwei and said that Li Biwei just smiled and was noncommittal. Others said that she I trust Xia Zhixiang too much.

Actually not.

Those people don't understand Li Biwei, nor do they know what Li Biwei said:

Sadness that can be expressed is not sadness.

A lover who can be snatched away is not a lover.

When Xia Chen packed up the thermos, put it back in the kitchen, and opened the door to come in, Lu Zhixu was still sitting on the bed in a daze.

He was looking at the computer that he didn't quite understand.

Xia Chen sat down beside the bed.

"Teacher, I have something to tell you."

"What?"

Xia Chen looked at him gently.

"I know, the teacher feels very uncomfortable now. But the teacher has to believe me, and I am also very anxious. The baby is not only the teacher's child, but also my child..."

"What... what is your child..." Professor Lu was tongue-tied.

"Is the teacher still angry because of what happened to me earlier?"

There is a kind of person who is born to lift weights lightly, and always makes you feel that the things you are struggling with are all fuss.

Although Lu Zhixu had lived for 27 years, he was far inferior to Xia Chen in terms of people's hearts and getting along with each other, and he was ashamed of what he said just now, so he was naturally led to follow Xia Chen's thoughts.

Therefore, two days ago, Professor Lu Zhixu, who had made up his mind to ignore what Xia Chen said, could only turn his face away, and said angrily, "It's none of my business who you are!"

Xia Chen didn't continue this topic, but leaned on the bed, as if he was very tired.

"When I was seven years old, one afternoon, I was attending class with my teacher at home. I suddenly saw my uncle standing at the door of the study, waving at me. I thought it was my parents who came back, and my uncle asked me to pick them up. After going out That’s when I realized that my parents were dead.”

Xia Chen leaned against the head of the bed, his expression was indifferent and his voice was calm, as if he was talking about something unimportant.

Lu Zhixu hugged the quilt and looked at him with a little fear.

"My grandfather sent people to search at sea for a long time, but they still couldn't find the bones, so they had to set up a tomb, and put a few pieces of aircraft fragments in it. When the coffin was nailed, my grandfather asked me to cut a strand of hair and put it in my mother's coffin. Put a drop of blood in my father's coffin, even if my parents were buried in it."

"Actually, I have always suspected the cause of their accident. I have been investigating these years. I think, if someone killed them, then my uncle and second uncle should be involved."

"There are only two people who know that I am investigating this matter. One is my second uncle, Xia Zhifei, who is a general. And my brother, Li Zhurong. I have never told my grandfather that he is getting old. I don't have any power, I don't want to be alone."

"Teacher, now you also know."

The young man's expression was as indifferent as ever, a gentleman, as gentle as jade.

Lu Zhixu looked at him almost in shock.

"Teacher, don't be afraid. I won't touch them now. I have to wait for my grandpa to feel at ease before we can clean up the Xia family."

"Teacher, you were angry with me last time because I didn't tell you anything. Now I've told the teacher. The teacher also told me, if I was such a person, would you still say you like me?"

Lu Zhixu didn't know what to say anymore.

"Teacher, when I met you, I was such a Xia Chen. Tell me, if you knew that I was such a Xia Chen, would you still let me live in your house, would you still fall in love with me? "

Lu Zhixu looked at Xia Chen almost at a loss.

This young man is bright and gentle, but he is exhausted.At this tense time, he brought up the matter between the two of them again. Isn't it just taking advantage of the fire?

But what can Lu Zhixu do?

He is just a 27-year-old university professor, alone, his son was kidnapped, and his life and death are still unknown. He can no longer drive Xia Chen out as hard as two days ago, and hide in his shell like a snail. Don't ask.

He couldn't refuse, and he didn't want to bother.

He could only hesitate and helplessly say to Xia Chen: "I just want to get the baby back now."

Xia Chen nodded: "My brother and I are trying our best to find those two children, teacher, don't worry too much."

Lu Zhixu pursed his lips, and finally said that sentence.

"I want to see Li Zhurong."
