The Canary's Trap

Lu Ling exhausted all his strength to open the gate of the stronghold. He slowly approached the policeman and explained his purpose. The policeman immediately nodded and called Lu Zhengan.

During the entire call, Lu Ling thought of many possibilities. Lu Zhengan might not see him, and if he did, he would definitely stop talking to him.As for myself, what should I say to Lu Zhengan, I'm sorry, but he was wrong...

However, for the father who protected him in the greenhouse since he was a child, how insignificant these words should be.

Fortunately, the police officer didn't talk for too long. After hanging up the phone, he glanced at Lu Ling and said, "Mr. Lu, come with me."

Lu Ling just woke up.

The policeman took him to a closed interrogation room with only a small skylight, took out the key and opened the door, and turned around and told Lu Ling: "You better speak quickly, the visiting time is limited."

Lu Ling nodded towards him, but found that he didn't have the courage to go in.

While he was hesitating, the door was suddenly opened a little wider from the inside, Lu Ling trembled and froze in place.

The person inside said calmly, "Lu Lu, come in."

The sunlight passed through the narrow window and hit the desolate concrete floor, creating a blurred spot. Lu Ling was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had made a mistake again, and Lu Zhengan was calling him into the study to give a lecture.

At that time, there would always be a few rays of sunlight through the glass windows of the study, some of which would be scattered on Lu Zhengan's side face, and some would fall to the floor.

He did make a mistake, but it is no longer easy to cover it up with a lecture.

Lu Ling's footsteps were heavy, and every time he took an extra step into the interrogation room, a knife would gouged into his flesh and blood.

The interrogation room was cramped, damp and dark. There was only a single bed with a thin quilt and a table, and nothing else.

Lu Ling's eyes began to sore. He couldn't imagine how his father, who had always been proud and elegant, and who was very particular about life, lived in such an environment.

He was dragged into the mud from the clouds by his most trusted and beloved son, and he experienced what kind of torture in his heart.

So, what about the next ten years of prison life, the lost ten years of freedom, he has always worshiped and respected, how far will his superior father have to lower his head to finish it?

Lu Ling didn't dare to think about it anymore, her fingers trembled violently.

Lu Zhengan finally approached him, raised his arm and patted his shoulder, his voice was as calm as before: "I know, you will definitely come."

Lu Ling's eyes were red, and she tried not to shed a single tear.

He and Lu Zhengan sat at both ends of the square table that had peeled off a layer of wooden skin. Lu Zhengan looked at him, and he stared at the dilapidated tabletop.

After a while, Lu Zhengan was the first to break the silence: "Lu Ling, tell Dad, what do you know?"

Lu Ling was stunned for a moment, and his voice was blunt: "I saw Yuan Qi."

Lu Zhengan's expression changed. After all, the mall has been employed for many years, and then quickly calmed down: "Well, you want to complain for him?"

"No." Lu Ling shook his head.

He is too small and not so righteous, he is not fighting against the darkness in this world, he just does not want the future life of himself and the people he cherishes to be covered with dust, so that the light will no longer shine.

Or every darkness will eventually be dispelled by this tiny light, and he is only a part of this tiny.

But the light he got in exchange exhausted all his cherished family affection and favoritism.

Lu Zheng'an smiled relievedly: "Lu Ling, I used to always wonder if you, who lost your mother since you were young, and were pampered by your family, will grow up to be too self-willed in the future."

"Dad has done a lot of things wrong, but I don't want my son to be as dirty as me, Lulu—"

"When I look at you, I always think of your mother. She is a gentle and beautiful woman. Dad is very happy that he left me such a good son."

"She suffered too much with me, and I finally made the Lu family bigger, but she didn't have the chance to enjoy the blessings. I...hehe, I have owed many debts to many people in my life, and I have long wanted to pay them back, Lulu, You are right, Dad regrets it." Lu Zhengan's voice was hoarse, "I deserve this result."

Lu Ling grabbed the clothes on his chest with his hands, feeling that he was about to suffocate.

"You are like your mother, you have beautiful eyes when you smile, I thought, Lulu, you have to be good, and you can't do wrong things like me, you and your mother, you... should stand in the sun, I absolutely You can't be like me."

"Fortunately, you already have a yardstick in your heart to measure right from wrong."

"Lu Ling, don't regret your choice. Dad said that I don't need you to do anything. You just need to be healthy and happy for the rest of your life. I have been in this circle of fame and fortune for too long. Money and power have blinded my eyes, but I always There will be a day of sobriety. Now, it's just advancing that day, so that I can still have the opportunity to make up for what I have done, Lulu—"

"What I owe you and your mother is almost finished. It's time to pay someone else back." Lu Zhengan smiled, "I'm just afraid that no one will protect you..."

"Looking at it now, my son Lu Zhengan doesn't need anyone's protection. Lu Ling, you have finally grown up. Dad is very happy."

Lu Ling couldn't restrain his painful emotions anymore, his shoulders trembled violently as he held back the tears that were about to burst the embankment.

Lu Zhengan went around to him, stroked his hair, and said softly, "Don't cry, Lulu."

Lu Ling abruptly raised his head to look at him, his eyes were clouded with mist, Lu Zhengan became thinner and haggard, with many white hairs on his head.

After taking off his suit and the famous watch on his wrist, in just over a week, this always neat and elegant man looked much older.

This may be his true appearance as a father after removing all the vivid disguises.

Lu Lingmu opened his mouth naively: "Dad, I—"

"Bang bang bang", there was a knock on the door, "Mr. Lu, the visiting time is over."

When Lu Ling turned his head, the policeman had already walked in and motioned him to leave.

Lu Zhengan beckoned to him, and slowly turned around.

Lu Ling wanted to chase him, but was stopped by the police: "It's time."

Lu Ling stopped walking, looked at Lu Zhengan's back, choked up and said, "Dad...you will always be my most respected father."

Lu Zhengan seemed to pause for a few seconds, and finally walked back to the interrogation room.

Lu Ling didn't know how he got out of the detention center, he just pinched his hand tightly through the material of his heart.

It hurts there, it hurts so much.

He was in so much pain that he was dying of respiratory failure.

The flesh and blood on his chest was oozing blood from his pinch, but he seemed to have exhausted his last ounce of energy, and he gradually became numb and couldn't feel the pain anymore.

His father, Lu Zheng'an, said, Lulu, it's good for you to be simple and happy...but he turned this preference into a knife blade piercing the flesh and blood of his relatives.

"Am I wrong?" He drooped his chest, and finally cried out, crying hoarsely, "Woooooo, was I wrong... Did I really do nothing wrong..."

I'm right, why did my father go to prison for ten years, I'm right, why doesn't grandma want to see me...

What did I trade for my belated 24-year-old growth...

Why should I complete my growth like this...

"Woooooo..." He knelt down, buried his face deeply in his palms, his shoulders trembled violently, and the tears he had endured for a long time finally burst and hit his cheeks, heart, and limbs...

In the end, it was no longer tears, he was so hurt that what flowed out of his eyes turned into blood.
