Chapter 68 is Lu Bai’s Mother
Zhang Hai felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't bring himself to apologize, so he could only nod to Lu Bai and walked out of the office.
Chen Hong, who stayed in the office, didn't think it mattered. Perhaps for someone like him who had faced too many life and death situations, these were nothing.
Chen Hong folded her hands, "Where are you going? Who are you meeting? Is it related to the case?"
Lu Bai was somewhat helpless. She sighed, "It has nothing to do with the case, but I must go there today."
"You don't know many people in Wuzhou, and it's getting late. Let's have dinner together."
As it got darker, Lu Bai parked his car at the gate of the community, walked to the fruit shop, bought a bunch of fruits, and threw them all into Chen Hong's hands.
Chen Hong followed behind her and did not dare to say no.
This is a very old residential area. Chen Hong followed Lu Bai upstairs.
He looked at the already dim street lights and couldn't help but ask, "The lights are so dim, if the old man has poor eyesight, will he be in danger?"
Lu Bai took out the key and opened the door. She became very silent and a little depressed.
The key turned several times, but the door would not open.
Lu Bai took a deep breath, "Mom, why did you change the door lock again?"
The smile on Chen Hong's face froze instantly.
Mom???
After a while, a voice came from inside the door.
"You are not welcome in this home, and you should not acknowledge me as your mother."
Lu Bai ignored her and knocked on the door. "Open the door."
Perhaps Lu's mother thought it was too noisy, so after Lu Bai knocked on the door a few times, she still opened it.
The deer mother showed her impatience, "Can the police disturb the people? I can report you anyway."
As soon as she said this, she caught sight of Chen Hong and asked, "Who is this?"
Just as Chen Hong was about to introduce himself, Lu Bai glared at him fiercely.
Lu Bai took over the conversation, "My friend."
The deer mother narrowed her eyes and looked at him carefully. "Police?"
Chen Hong nodded.
Lu Bai shook his head repeatedly, "No."
There have been too many cases recently and my mind was full of complicated things, so I forgot to talk to Chen Hong first.
Lu Bai frowned, "He is a teacher, a physical education teacher."
The deer mother was skeptical, "Which school?"
The air was silent for a moment.
Chen Hong's brows were tightly furrowed and his mouth was half open, and one could tell that his teeth were clenched tightly.
He blinked his eyes, as if he understood something. "My name is Chen Hong... I'm not from here. I work in Suzhou and am a physical education teacher at a primary school."
He didn't know if what he said was right or not. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Bai cautiously.
Lu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly. This kid was telling lies without even burping.
She pointed behind the deer mother and said, "Can we go in and talk first?"
Seeing that she brought someone with her, the deer mother was also speculating in her heart, but her tone softened a little, "Come in."
After entering the room, Lu Bai smelled the fragrance of food. The table was already filled with hot food and there were three sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Mother Lu walked to the kitchen and took out another set of bowls and chopsticks. "Today is your father's death anniversary. Have you visited him?"
At this point, Lu's mother's eyes showed sadness. "Xiao Chen, don't mind it. Lu Bai only comes back to see me at this time of year."
Mother Lu put the dishes and chopsticks in place and sat down at the table. "I didn't expect that she would bring friends back."
Lu Bai motioned for Chen Hong to take a seat. Chen Hong put down the things in her hands, patted her clothes, and sat down at the table seriously without the joking look she had before.
He knew that Lu Bai's father should have been a martyr, but he was not posthumously honored.
Lu Bai first poured a glass of wine for the empty seat and said, "I've been too busy lately and haven't been to see it yet."
The deer mother's face was dark, and her tone was full of sarcasm, "You are a busy person, and you have endless things to do every day."
Lu Bai pursed her lips. She really didn't want to quarrel with her mother at this time. "Mom, so many years have passed. You should know clearly what I do."
Not to mention going home, even sleeping and eating are a fight against time and those poor, vicious and evil people, racing against time.
From the moment she put on this uniform, Lu Bai knew that her whole life would be dedicated to it.
But just these one sentence seemed to completely break the mother deer's strength.
She didn't care about the presence of outsiders. With red eyes, she looked at the empty seat and asked, "What do you do? Didn't I tell you that I don't want you to be a police officer?"
"You know exactly how your father died. If you can find a martyr for him, I won't stop you from becoming a policeman!"
This matter has always been hidden in Lu Mu's heart, and it is something she has always cared about.
Her husband, the man she regarded as her "sky", sacrificed himself for the truth.
Just like that... so casually... died.
Lu Bai was also getting angry, but she remained patient and tried to speak in a calm tone, "I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. Don't you want to see the day when the truth comes out?"
"I don't wish!"
The deer mother slammed the table in excitement, "I just want my daughter to be safe, am I wrong?"
Lu Bai lowered his head, his throat already sour, "Mom, you are not wrong, and I am not wrong either."
When she raised her head again, tears welled up in her eyes. "But some things must be done by someone, whether it's for my dad or for those innocent people who died in vain."
Some of the silver hair on the deer mother's head was scattered on her forehead, making her look even more desolate. "Crime will never end."
"Then I'll keep catching them!"
Lu Bai's eyes were determined. "Come one, and I'll catch one."
The mother deer was stunned. She stared at her daughter for a long time, unable to come back to her senses.
After an unknown amount of time, she looked at the empty seat and said, "Dad, she looks just like you."
Chen Hong sat at the table with his hands clenched tightly. He was very frightened, extremely frightened.
For Chen Hong, this meal was like sitting on pins and needles.
He acted as a tool this time, but next time... he would never be fooled by Lu Bai even if he was beaten to death.
Mother Lu poured a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Lu Bai. She sighed and said, "Come home more often in the future."
Lu Bai lowered his head and drank the chicken soup. He didn't know why, but it always had a salty taste.
Tears welled up in her eyes at this moment, and she tried hard not to cry out loud. The suppressed emotions caused her hands to tremble.
The deer mother looked at her kindly, patted her head, and said, "I am old now, and I can't control you anymore. You and your colleagues must pay attention to safety in the future."
She glanced at Chen Hong, who immediately sat up straight and said, "You are just a young boy, and you are imitating Lu Bai to deceive people?"
Chen Hong held her head in embarrassment, "Captain Lu didn't tell me anything, but I was quite nervous."
Lu Bai sniffed, "You're the one who keeps urging me to get married? If I don't find a man, will you let me into your house?"
After the meal, Chen Hong put all the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, and Lu Bai helped him.
In the kitchen, Lu Bai lowered his voice, "You have seen what happened today. It is not a secret. The police force knows more or less about it."
She looked around the room and said, "After my father died, I have been worried that the venomous snake people would target my mother. You know about venomous snakes, can you help me see if there is any problem?"
