Chapter 119: Undercover Identity
When Lu Shan picked up the photos, her fingers trembled, whether from panic or anxiety, and it took her a while to pick them up.
She noticed that Bai Zhi's gaze was fixed on the photo in her hand. Her eyes flickered, and she quickly put the photo into her wallet.
"Take the money, I'm leaving now."
"Dr. Lu," Bai Zhi called out to her.
"Is there anything else?" Lu Shan asked, her back to her, without turning around because of her unusual emotions.
Bai Zhi walked up to her, looked at her, and asked, "Niu Niu's second uncle, what's your name?"
Why are you asking this?
Lu Shan clearly didn't want to talk about this topic.
"Just out of curiosity," Bai Zhi said. "If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. I'll ask Old Master Gu later."
Lu Shan couldn't understand why Bai Zhi wanted to inquire about Gu Jingyi's name.
Because of Niu Niu, Bai Zhi is very familiar with the Gu family.
If she doesn't say, people can ask the Gu family.
"Gu Jingyi." With mixed feelings, Lu Shan finally uttered the name she had been longing for.
"Gu Jingyi?" Bai Zhi murmured repeatedly, her eyes narrowed. "Gu Jingyi..."
Bai Zhi's reaction puzzled Lu Shan, who asked in confusion, "What? You know her?"
Bai Zhi didn't answer Lu Shan directly. She concealed the strangeness on her face and casually comforted her, "Don't worry, he will come back alive."
Lu Shan shook her head with a bitter expression.
It's been a year.
There has been no news at all.
Even Lu Ye said that the army had no news of him.
He remains out of contact.
Although he didn't have the courage to face the cruel reality, he couldn't help but think of the worst-case scenario.
"Really, you can trust me."
Lu Shan couldn't figure out if Bai Zhi's words were meant to comfort her or if there was another layer of meaning behind them.
At this moment, Grandpa Lu and Lu Zheng'an arrived in the living room one after another.
Seeing that Lu Shan and Bai Zhi were both there, he invited them to come and eat. Lu Shan came back to her senses, composed herself, and said, "I don't have time, I have to go back to the hospital first."
After saying that, he quickly left.
Everyone was used to Lu Shan rushing out the door without eating breakfast in the morning, so they didn't pay much attention to her.
"Xiao Zhi, come and eat!"
"good."
Bai Zhi went to the dining room.
She sat in the chair, her heart filled with complex emotions as she recognized the man in Lu Shan's photo.
During the meal, Xie Yun whispered in Lu Lao's ear, giving him all sorts of instructions.
Bai Zhi responded verbally, but her thoughts drifted back to her past life.
In his past life, my grandfather had treated a mysterious person who was secretly sent by the military.
As her grandfather's right-hand woman, she was involved in the entire process of treating the mysterious comrade.
When he was brought in, he was almost unrecognizable, with his face severely disfigured.
One of his legs was also broken.
I had been in the hospital for a while and the wound infection was under control.
The reason they were sent there was because that comrade had also been injected with the same drug as Lu Ye.
He had a dispute with a foreigner and underwent treatment for six months before the drug poisoning was cleared from his body.
They also treated the scars on his face with the scar removal medicine they developed.
However, because those scars were so deep and crisscrossed, they were deliberately inflicted with a knife.
Even after using scar removal medication, her face failed to return to its original state.
So when she saw their family photo at the Gu family's house last time, although she felt that Gu Jingyi's face looked familiar, she didn't recognize him at the time.
The moment I saw the photo in Lu Shan's wallet, I was jolted awake and suddenly remembered that comrade from my past life.
At first, they didn't know who that comrade was.
As doctors, they only care about treating patients and don't concern themselves with anything else.
But after all, that comrade stayed at the clinic for almost half a year.
Gu Jingyi's name is certainly not a secret.
Later, they probably guessed his identity.
Undercover agent.
Bai Zhi tried hard to recall more information about Gu Jingyi.
"Why aren't you eating?" Lu Ye's voice pulled her back to reality.
Bai Zhi smiled and quickly scooped up a spoonful of porridge to drink. "I'm eating."
Old Master Lu looked concerned and said, “Xiao Zhi, eat more. You’ll be taking the train soon, so eat your fill. The boxed meals on the train are just to fill your stomachs, not to be eaten properly.”
"Grandpa Lu, I will eat more."
Zhang Ma also boiled some tea eggs, packed them in a bag, and told them to eat them in the car.
There was also Lu Ye's herbal medicine, all packed into a suitcase.
After finishing her meal, Xie Yun carried her things to the living room and stuffed them into her luggage bag.
As a soldier, Lu Ye was impeccable in terms of personal hygiene. Seeing the things his mother had packed haphazardly, his obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in.
But this was maternal love, and he had no choice but to watch from the sidelines.
Just as everyone was giving the two of them advice on what to do while they were out, Lu Shaoan returned.
"Dad, what happened to you?"
Lu Hai looked at the disheveled middle-aged man in front of him with a very strange expression.
How did his dad's shirt sleeve get torn?
Bai Zhi and the others looked over when they heard Lu Hai's voice.
Seeing Lu Shaoan's appearance, Bai Zhi's expression twitched slightly.
How could a coal mine owner who always pays attention to his image get so dirty?
With his family looking on with worry, Lu Shaoan sighed and explained, "Don't even mention it, I ran into a pickpocket on the bus and my bag was stolen. Luckily I was quick-witted, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to keep my cell phone."
A gang of thieves targeted his mobile phone and the gold chain around his neck.
He knew that if he didn't give up something today, he wouldn't be able to get off the train.
So, to lure the tiger away from the mountain, he deliberately took off the gold chain and "put" it into his bag.
When the group came to snatch his bag, he pretended to break free, and his sleeve was torn.
My bag was also stolen, and then I watched as those people jumped out of the window and escaped.
There were only a few clothes and some local specialties from Jincheng that I brought for my family in the bag.
He had already switched his gold chain and put it in his pocket.
Looking at his disheveled second uncle, Lu Ye asked with a puzzled expression, "Second Uncle, why didn't you call the police?"
Lu Shaoan rolled his eyes. "Why call the police? The train is so crowded, you can't even squeeze through to find the police. Those people are gangs. Once they've got their eyes on you on the train, they'll block you from both sides and won't give you a chance to get close to the police."
"In critical moments, you have to save yourself; don't count on anything else."
Since becoming successful, Lu Shaoan rarely takes the old-fashioned green trains anymore; he usually has his driver pick him up and drop him off.
This time, his son drove the Santana back ahead of schedule, so he had to take the train.
Boss Lu scolded in a stern voice, "Knowing you're taking the train, why did you leave your valuables out in the open? When are you going to get rid of this ostentatious habit of yours?"
Lu Shaoan touched his nose and weakly retorted.
“Dad, you’ve never been on a train, so you don’t know how rampant things are on trains these days. If you’re dressed even slightly decently, you’ll be targeted.”
Of course, it's also true that he was too high-profile.
Upon hearing Lu Shaoan's words, Old Master Lu looked at Lu Ye and Bai Zhi with concern.
