Chapter 77 Indus
Chapter 77 Indus
Lying on the bed late at night, Su Chaoyang didn't feel sleepy. He kept thinking about Chen Luo and the merchant, especially the kidnapping case in front of him. He wanted to ask Chen Luo more about the past and the present, but when he thought of Chen Luo, In the conversation between Luo and Chen Jiahui, he couldn't open his mouth no matter what. At that moment, he knew that Chen Luo was not indestructible as he thought.
After the hug, Chen Luo quickly fell asleep again. After sleeping until he woke up naturally, the sun was shining directly through the gaps in the curtains, warm and bright.
He looked around the room for a week but didn't find Su Chaoyang's figure, and there was no caller ID on his phone. It was past eleven o'clock in the morning, and it was almost lunch time.
...Perhaps, have gone back?There was silence in the huge room.
Until Chen Luo's stomach sang empty city tricks, Su Chaoyang came in from the outside: "Finally woke up, I called someone to bring porridge and noodles."
Chen Luo nodded, staring at him with a smile in his eyes.
Su Chaoyang handed him a stack of clothes: "I bought pajamas from the side of the road that have been washed and dried, and you can wear them as you go."
Chen Luo took it and flipped through it casually. The white pajamas suit and white underwear with Pikachu prints, this color made Chen Luo couldn't help but sneered: "Are you sure this is men's pajamas?"
"The size 185 is unlikely to be women's pajamas. I don't care what to do with it. It's better to have clean clothes to wear. Go wash it."
Chen Luo shook his head, took his clothes and went to the bathroom.
When he came out neatly half an hour later, Su Chaoyang was the first to burst out laughing. The Pikachu all over his body came into view and Chen Luo's tight and handsome face. How could Su Zhaoyang be polite to him: "Don't make a bad face. , It cost me 50 yuan just for this outfit. Three pairs of underwear cost ten yuan, you get one and I get two. In fact, the quality is not bad, so come here if you don’t cut the meat, drink the porridge and don’t stare at me.”
"I don't have much appetite..." Chen Luo frowned and sat down, the porridge in front of her was not tasty at first glance.
Su Chaoyang stared round his eyes: "You have to eat even if you don't have an appetite. Your body is important. Don't be unsympathetic to yourself when you are young, and you will trouble me when you get old!"
"Heh... I don't know who is bothering whom."
"Aren't I serving you now?"
Chen Luo smiled and stopped rebutting, leaned forward and kissed Su Chaoyang's lips, licked his tongue and smiled at him: "It tastes good." Then he picked up the spoon and began to eat with relish.
Su Zhaoyang coughed lightly and sat back on the sofa to read the newspaper slowly.The incident that happened in the upper city was never reported in the newspapers, so Su Chaoyang was not surprised.
After Chen Luo had finished eating and drinking, Assistant Li's call came.
"Boss, merchants want to see you, especially Shang Zhongyan."
"Ok."
When Chen Luo changed his clothes and went out, Su Chaoyang naturally followed.
When they came to the hospital again, the two of them were not so tired. Entering Shang Zhongyan's ward, except for a nurse and an old police officer, only old Shang was by his side.
Shang Zhongyan, who was wrapped in gauze on the bed, stared at Chen Luo with one eye, and sighed for a while.
The old police officer took the initiative to say to Chen Luo: "Mr. Shang Zhongyan's statement is similar to Ms. Chen's. The mastermind behind the scenes is the merchant's daughter and daughter-in-law...and unknown people."
Chen Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, and walked to the bed with a half-smile: "I'm not surprised that Chen Jiahui doesn't know the murderer, she's stupid to begin with, your aunt is enough to get in touch with her. As for you...do you really don't know or dare not?" explain?"
"..." Shang Chongyan gritted his teeth. Of course he knew that after being kidnapped, he and Chen Jiahui were not together at all. Others killed Chen Jiahui to silence her, but he suffered all kinds of torture. He not only knew her, but was very familiar with her.The merchant has been able to stand up for so many years, of course there is a family to rely on behind him. His father has been in the same boat with that person since he entered the officialdom. In the end, his father died unexpectedly when he was about to be promoted.After that, the business has been going downhill, and it can't be held back.Now, when he was about to enter the circle of fame and fortune, he was kidnapped.
It was only after being tortured for several days that he learned that his father's death was due to an offending document.
Shang Zhongyan didn't know why he wanted to talk to Chen Luo, he somehow wanted to... trust him.
"Officer, can you go out?" Shang Zhongyan frowned, he didn't want to talk with outsiders around.
"No." The old police officer said bluntly.
"...they kidnapped me for a document...to force my grandpa to hand it over."
Old man Shang seems to have aged ten years these days, and he took his grandson's words and said, "It's a document my eldest son got when he was in the officialdom. He did hint at the location of my document before his accident, but after he passed away, I When I found the location, the documents were long gone...the kidnappers couldn’t hand them over even if they asked me to.”
Chen Luo said quietly: "Even if you have it, you won't hand it over."
Old man Shang sneered: "I'm not a fool, the result is the same whether I hand it over or not...they won't give up if they don't die."
"You see it very clearly." Chen Luo laughed at himself. The old man's approach could not be wrong. He just chose a trade-off. He didn't save what he couldn't save and sacrificed what he could.In the end, he watched helplessly that Shang Zhongyan died of kidnapping, went bankrupt and helped his worthless youngest son and his wife flee abroad to preserve their blood, and he, the emotionless grandson, became a victim of the top vat.Will he know the existence of the document or enter the bureau, after three years of interrogation, the personnel changed batch after batch, and finally it was determined that he did not know the document and was sentenced as an economic crime.After he was released from prison, he spent a lot of energy figuring out what happened back then.
"It's a pity that you merchants are always arrogant. Didn't you ever dream that your daughter would kidnap your nephew? You even want to kill him to take revenge on you. If you succeed, you can steal the merchant's property without anyone noticing it. After all... this time If it weren't for someone with a heart to provide clues, your grandson would have died, but the kidnapper would have been able to get away with it, and the whole matter would have ended in an unsolved case."
"..." Old man Shang was silent in thought, but his heart was turbulent. Could it be that Chen Luo's grandson's rescue had something to do with it?
Shang Zhongyan didn't expect so much, he simply felt very lucky.But he is not happy at all, as long as he thinks about the unknown document and the status means of the person behind it, without the ability to knock him down, the merchant can only be suppressed, and he will not die this time...
"Shang Zhongyan, what's the point of you asking me to tell these things?" Chen Luo looked at Shang Zhongyan amusedly.
Shang Zhong was at a loss for words, yes, what's the use of him looking for Chen Luo, not to mention whether Chen Luo can help the merchant, whether he has the ability to help the merchant is another matter.
But the old man Shang suddenly said: "We were wrong in the past. Chen Luo... The merchant is now under the enemy's back, I don't ask to keep the hard work I have worked on for many years... I just want to ask you... If there is something, I hope you can keep the tautology so that he can be happy." Live better."
"..."
"Grandpa..." Shang Zhongyan's eyes were red.
The old man Shang sighed: "For many years, our business has not been considered clean, and the rotten things can no longer be restored. But he is innocent. He has never participated in anything, and he has not had time to do official work. He has never done anything harmful. Something illegal and taboo."
Chen Luo shrugged indifferently: "Just make your own decision. Chaoyang, we should go. I haven't had a decent meal in a few days. Please go have a big meal."
Shang Zhongyan watched the two leave, and fell back on the hospital bed dejectedly.
The old man Shang sighed: "True words, don't keep anything, just tell the police officer what you know. I believe that Skynet will not miss anything..."
Shang Zhongyan looked at his grandfather in surprise, gritted his teeth and nodded for a while.
Although the kidnapping of Young Master Shang was not reported, everyone in the upper city circle knew about it, and those who paid attention to it were rich or expensive.The police learned of the murderer behind the scenes from the mouths of the arrested kidnapper and the rescued young master Shang. Except for Chen Jiahui who was killed, the other two were shocking. One was the merchant's direct daughter, and the other was the merchant's high-ranking backer. .
After Shang Zhongyan uttered the truth, he was panicked, but the old man Shang has been extremely calm since then.
The matter developed at an unforeseen smooth speed by Shang Zhongyan. He was worried that the people who would not be shaken by insufficient evidence were easily arrested. The evidence was conclusive, more than what Shang Zhongyan saw with his own eyes.In an instant, the man was on trial with his aunt.
The mountain that was pressing on the merchant's head seemed to be shattered in an instant.
Shang Guoqing danced excitedly in the ward: "This is God's revenge for our business! If you break the law, you should be punished by the law. Hehe, if you climb high and fall miserably, God has eyes!"
The old man Shang showed no joy and sighed silently.
Shang Zhongyan was overjoyed at first, but then he realized something, and said with a pale face: "He has been arrested, he got in with a kidnapping case, and the crimes that have been found out over the years are probably innumerable, but... our business has been in league with him so much. For many years, just for the past few years... Do you think he will hide it? Or do you think the authorities can't find it out?"
The excited Shang Guoqing turned pale instantly.
In the hotel, Chen Luolai leaned on Su Chaoyang, with the phone in his ear, and said calmly: "Keep an eye on Shang Guoqing, this grandson will definitely find a way to escape overseas, hum, if he escapes, what would I do so hard for? Don't worry about it."
After finishing the phone call, Chen Luo coughed lightly, "Chaoyang, let's continue."
"...softened."
"..."
Su Chaoyang patted Chen Luo's butt to signal him to get out, Chen Luo angrily leaned over and bit his ear hard.
Su Chaoyang yelled in pain, and then became excited: "It's done again!"
Chen Luo sneered, and unceremoniously bit it a few more times.
As the matter of the merchant was about to settle, Su Chaoyang obviously felt that Chen Luo seemed to have lost a heavy burden. Although Chen Luo always said that he didn't care about the merchant and had nothing to do with it, but every time he did this, Su Chaoyang She silently patted him on the shoulder.In this world, he is the only one who knows best how much trauma the merchant has left on Chen Luo. The more Chen Luo says he doesn't care, the more he actually cares.Maybe what he did wasn't revenge, but at most contributed to the flames, but... this kind of behavior seemed to give someone an explanation.
Maybe it was for her biological mother who died young, or maybe... it was for Chen Luo herself.
Since then, there have been no merchants.
From then on, Chen Luo will always be Chen Luo.
When the love was strong, Chen Luo held Su Chaoyang's cheek obsessively, and kissed him greedily, entangled with him as if he never wanted to part again.
The next day they were awakened by a knock on the door.
Su Chaoyang opened the door helplessly with eyes that could not be opened at all, how he didn't want to get up after falling asleep after a night of fighting.
The big boy with a backpack at the door, wearing a clean white shirt and black jeans, has a clean, fresh and elegant demeanor.
Su Zhaoyang blinked hard: "Cricket?"
Qu Feihong nodded: "You asked for leave to come to Shangcheng for so many days and didn't return to school. I didn't feel at ease so I came to take a look. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen."
"Oh, it's nothing, it's over soon, and it has nothing to do with us."
"I know. Where's Chen Luo? How about having a meal together?"
Su Chaoyang glanced at the bed and shook his head: "Thank you, he definitely doesn't want to get up now."
Qu Feihong laughed strangely: "Okay, I'm relieved to see that you are all right, and remember to treat you when you return to school."
"no problem."
In the afternoon, Chen Luo finally got up together with Su Chaoyang.
"Why did Qu Feihong come here?" Chen Luo asked while nibbling on the bread.
Su Chaoyang was busy packing his luggage: "The cricket is very enthusiastic and quick-hearted. He was a little worried when I came to Shangcheng in a hurry, so he came here to find out the situation. Although he doesn't know his family background, he seems to be very powerful. He is probably more famous in Shangcheng. The right to speak."
"The third generation of the Qu family, of course the family background is not simple." Chen Luo said indifferently: "He doesn't have a girlfriend?"
"Uh...don't know."
Chen Luo's eyes showed a cold look, "I care so much about you..."
Su Chaoyang was speechless for a moment, and turned his head to stare at Chen Luo: "Is it because I like men that I can't even have a good friend of the same sex?"
"Of course."
"Then what are you muttering about?" Small belly!
"Your best friend of the same sex is so handsome..."
Su Chaoyang sneered: "Can I be as handsome as you?"
"..." Chen Luo lowered his eyes in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "I still think you are handsome."
"Can you two stop being so nasty?" Song Chenxi suddenly poked his head in from the door, rubbing goosebumps unbearably, and looked at the two of them like watching a monster: "It turns out that you are dating like this in private, I seem to have heard similar lines in the mouth of my first girlfriend. At that time, she was 15 years old and often held my face in her hands and said affectionately, Darling, why are you so handsome, dear, you are so handsome, etc. such as!"
"..." Su Chaoyang and Chen Luo turned dark at the same time, and became aggressive.
Song Chenxi huddled at the door, not daring to jump in, and waved cautiously: "Su Chaoyang, didn't you invite me to have lunch with you? How about...I treat you today?"
"Wanhua Hotel, treat yourself." Chen Luo said bluntly, took the teacup from Su Chaoyang's hand and drank it down in one gulp.
"I can't afford it!" Song Chenxi protested.
The three of them enjoyed lunch happily at a relatively cheap Italian restaurant, and no one mentioned the kidnapping case, as if the incident had completely passed, and they had completely severed ties with Chen Luo.
After Song Chenxi left, Chen Luo went back to the hotel to pack his things, and before Su Chaoyang could speak, he suggested, "Go to my apartment and rest, okay?"
Su Chaoyang was silent with his bag, he wanted to go back to class after being out for a few days.
Chen Luo's face darkened, he could see that Su Chaoyang was impatient to leave, he wanted to leave the upper city and return to Wutong City, Su Chaoyang's most secure home was there.
But he only wanted Su Chaoyang to stay by his side for a few more days, not to settle here forever.
Chen Luo didn't speak again, and after carefully looking through, he realized that he had no luggage at all, and was wearing dirty clothes, and the only thing left was the ridiculous set of pajamas that Su Chaoyang bought.
Empty-handed, Chen Luo walked out of the room with the key and card, followed by Su Chaoyang.
The moment he walked out of the hotel gate, Su Chaoyang said, "I'll wait for you here, go to the garage and bring the car."
"I don't have time to take you to the airport."
Su Chaoyang sighed: "Go to your apartment."
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, then walked away with a smile.
Chen Luo's apartment is not far from Uptown University. It is a very small loft apartment. The whole decoration style is either black or white, which can be said to be full of personality. It is too narrow for Su Chaoyang who is used to living in large rooms.
He asked strangely: "Do you live here?" It was hard to imagine that Chen Luo would like such a narrow house.
Chen Luo nodded: "There are students from Uptown University all around, so it's quite comfortable to live alone."
Su Chaoyang smiled dryly: "I thought you would live in a mansion."
"My bodyguard lives over there."
"..."
Chen Luo went to take a shower and change clothes, Su Chaoyang couldn't find anything edible in the apartment, so he spontaneously boiled a large pot of boiling water, held a teacup while drinking and read books on the shelf, most of them were financial books in original foreign languages Professional books and very unpopular novels and photography collections.
Su Chaoyang opened a photo album casually, and the first thing he saw was the sycamore trees on the white snow, dressed up and hung with wish tokens... Turning the page, the tall and withered sycamore trees in the cold winter...withered and yellow in the autumn wind The sycamore tree with fallen leaves falling with the wind, the green and strong sycamore tree in the summer rainstorm, the sycamore tree that just sprouted in spring...
There are about a dozen pictures in a collection, and they are all plane trees, all of which are plane trees on Wutong Road.
Su Chaoyang opened another booklet, the main character was still the sycamore tree, and he could roughly guess where it was in sycamore city by looking at the streetscape and buildings exposed in a corner.Su Chaoyang flipped through three or four books in a row, and it was no surprise that they were all of them.
The photographer is of course Chen Luo.
He is so obsessed with plane trees?
Su Chaoyang was quite surprised.
I don't know what to be obsessed with the ordinary trees that can be seen everywhere.
Hearing the news of Chen Luo coming out, Su Chaoyang returned the booklet to its original place.
