"Where are you now, boss? I'll come pick you up in a police car right away." Although Yang Lianhai hadn't fully processed the information, he managed to accept it for the time being and quickly caught up with Chu Xiao's pace.
Chu Xiao was melancholy, and said softly, "I'm in the sky." Truly, he was now as if he were blind, able to see only a hazy, pitch-black mass. If he weren't sitting on the back of the deer-like creature, he probably would have already plunged headfirst into the moonlight—no, into the Mekong River.
"Sky?"
Yang Lianhai shouted suspiciously into the phone, "Boss, are you scared out of your wits? Why are you talking nonsense?"
Chu Xiao had no time to dwell on Yang Lianhai's disrespectful and insolent remarks. He also forgot about maintaining the dignity and face of the criminal investigation team leader and slowly said, "I'm going to Wu Yue's house now. I'm in the sky because the person who's here to pick me up is flying."
"...Hmm? Could it be that your wealthy classmate Wu Yue sent someone to pick you up in a private jet?" Yang Lianhai didn't realize that Chu Xiao's words were literally what he meant, and even filled in the blanks with his own imagination: "This is really extravagant."
Chu Xiao: "..."
He remained silent for a moment. "I'm too lazy to explain. I'll take a picture and send it to you. That's all for now, the signal is bad up there. You'd better find someone to tow my car."
Yang Lianhai pursed his lips in bewilderment.
After a long pause, he finally replied, "Yes."
Just as Chu Xiao hung up the call with Yang Lianhai, another call came in. Thinking it was Wu Yue, Chu Xiao's face immediately fell, and he even seemed a little trembling.
He waited for a long time, but was hesitant to answer.
Then a voice drifted from ahead, "Officer, you either answer the phone or hang up. It's a bit noisy. I don't really like this ringtone."
As a beast, Lu Shu always speaks its mind, and it always says what it dislikes or is dissatisfied with very directly.
Hang up the phone?
Chu Xiao dared not.
He rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on, but had no choice but to answer the phone.
"Xiao, why are you only answering the phone now?"
"Mom, I'm on a mission here, I'm very busy, how about we talk later?" Chu Xiao's imposing manner immediately weakened as soon as he answered the phone.
"Heh, don't think Mom doesn't know. You can answer the phone now, so it doesn't seem like a big task. Let's chat for now. If you dare hang up, I'll have your dad break your legs when we get back."
Chu Xiao: "..." My legs are dog legs, then what about yours and Dad's?
Of course, Chu Xiao only dared to think this in his heart; he would never have the courage to say it out loud.
"Okay, Mom, please make this quick. I'm really busy," he said, trying to move the phone further away, but then he couldn't hear anything. The signal was indeed a little weak at high altitudes.
Then, she quietly put the phone to her ear again.
Chu's mother: "I recently chatted with an aunt in the neighborhood. Her daughter just graduated from university this year. She's still young, single, quite pretty, and has a good personality. Most importantly, she's a teacher. If you have children in the future, she can take care of them herself. I'm very relieved about her education."
"ha?"
Chu Xiao wondered if he had misheard. Before answering the phone, his relationship status was at 1%, but after the call, it was at full capacity? He even considered the mother of his child?
"That means I've arranged a blind date for you this weekend, so you have to come home even if you have to take time off work. Xiao, you're twenty-seven now, and every time I see other women your age walking their grandchildren, I get so envious... I want to be like that too!"
Chu Xiao remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he said, "Mom, how old do you want? I'll go adopt one for you to walk around with."
Let him give birth?
Let's wait another ten years. :)
