Chapter 161: Uncle is still alive!
A month later, Lu Siyin suddenly received a message. It was a video of more than one minute, sent by the mysterious man.
She stopped by the roadside, clicked on it with her finger, and stared at the palm-sized mobile phone screen.
The camera was a little shaky at first, and it took a few seconds to stabilize the camera and start to focus on the blurry figure in the yard.
The man had short, neat hair and a tall figure. He stood in the yard with a hunched back, taking care of the flowers and plants. He was wearing a loose blue and white striped hospital gown, which made him look thin.
The distance was a bit far, and it should have been taken secretly where the man couldn't see.
Lu Siyin stared at the man above with his eyes, his fingers began to tremble uncontrollably, and his thick eyelashes fluttered like thin cicada wings.
There was a wheelchair next to the man. A closer look revealed that his legs were stiffly standing on the ground, but he dared not move a step, as if just standing there had reached his limit.
Could it be the sequelae of the accident ten years ago?
He had his back to the camera, and Lu Siyin was not sure that he was Xu Guanglin.
At the end of the video, the man in the video suddenly turned his feet slowly in a different direction, and the next second, he turned sideways and sat back in the wheelchair little by little.
It was at this moment that Lu Siyin saw his profile. Her whole body from fingers to calves began to tremble. She almost dropped the phone. In just one second, she recognized that this man was Xu Guanglin.
Unspeakable ecstasy surged in her heart.
Still alive, still alive, uncle is still alive...
Lu Siyin stood on the side of the road and watched the video over and over again. People passing by recognized her and always cast curious and excited glances at her, but she didn't notice.
"Lu Siyin." Lu Jingshu called her from not far away.
When she came over, Lu Siyin calmly turned off her phone, held it in her hand and let it hang by her side.
"Why are you standing here?" Lu Jingshu asked her.
Lu Siyin tried her best to maintain a normal tone and said, "It's okay, I was just engrossed in my phone. I was just about to look for you!"
Lu Jingshu: "Yeah."
The two hadn't eaten yet, so they walked towards the cafeteria together. When they arrived at the cafeteria, they found that it was lunchtime and there were a lot of people. As soon as they entered, they attracted a lot of attention.
Lu Jingshu didn't have the patience to wait in line, so the two decided to go out for dinner.
When they arrived at a nearby hotel, Lu Siyin sat opposite her, poking the noodles in the bowl with his chopsticks, distractedly thinking about the video just now.
Lu Jingshu glanced at her and asked, "No appetite?"
Lu Siyin sneered, and then said dryly, "Yeah, maybe I ate too much at noon, so I'm not hungry."
Lu Jingshu hummed and planned to go to the convenience store after dinner.
Lu Siyin looked at her and suddenly said, "Sister, if uncle is still alive..."
Her voice was very light, like a dragonfly touching the water, leaving silent ripples, which were interrupted by larger waves before they expanded, and then disappeared on the water surface.
The store was not quiet. Lu Jingshu saw her mouth open, but she didn't hear what she said clearly, and asked in confusion, "What did you say?"
Lu Siyin smiled and said, "There is an art exhibition the day after tomorrow. Let's go together. I have tickets."
Lu Jingshu didn't doubt it and nodded and agreed, "Okay."
If uncle is still alive, you will definitely save him at all costs
. At least you will save his life.
Sister will stick to Xu Guanglin for ten years. There is no reason for her to be indifferent when she sees him alive.
After dinner, Lu Jingshu went to a convenience store, bought a bag of food and handed it to Lu Siyin.
Lu Siyin was a little surprised holding the food. The depression in her heart was mostly gone. She walked cheerfully and followed her humming a song.
...
After returning to the dormitory, Lu Siyin clicked on the number again, walked to the balcony, and dialed the number.
The sun gradually sank into the horizon, and the magnificent sunset seemed to be splashed with black paint, covering the original gorgeous colors.
She looked calmly at the students coming and going downstairs. There were many couples lingering at the door of the dormitory, and they were reluctant to leave for a long time.
"Hello!" A familiar mechanical sound of electric current.
"It's me." Lu Siyin said.
"I know it's you. You've seen the video. If you don't agree to the conditions, we can't guarantee that he can survive."
Lu Siyin's pupils shrank: "I can agree, but you have to ensure his safety with me."
"Of course."
"Also, I currently have no idea about the Dark Si Poison. It takes time."
"...Three months!"
Lu Siyin immediately got mad: "Don't you fucking understand what I'm saying? I said I need time. What can I do in three months? Can you please shave your head off and send it to me?"
"...Sister, don't be in a hurry. Maybe half a year."
Lu Siyin sneered: "I need to understand what the Dark Si Poison is first, and I also need to understand the past and present of the Dark Si Poison. This thing should be very difficult to find, and it will take me at least a year. Then I have to find the person who made the Dark Si Poison to see if he is dead or alive. This will take at least another year. If the person is still alive, it will be easy. It will take at least another year to find him. After finding him, I have to do everything I can to get him to hand over the formula, which will take at least another year. If he is dead, it will be more difficult. I need to check the people related to the Dark Si Poison to see if anyone knows the formula. This is more difficult. I think it will take two years. How about this! I'll give you a discount. This step will take only one year. I think that's good enough! It's not much, just four or five years in total!"
"……"
The other party was stunned by her bargaining. After listening carefully, he felt that there was no problem, as if it was indeed the case, but...
"Isn't four or five years too long? I can't report to my superiors here!"
Lu Siyin sighed and said sympathetically: "That's right, I know it's not easy for you, but who made me so kind, so how about this, I will report the progress to you every year, and then you can report it, and you can have an explanation."
"Well..., it's not impossible!"
"Brother, we will be colleagues working together in the future. When I succeed, I will not forget you. If we become rich, we will never forget each other."
The silly and mysterious man was quite moved when he heard it: "Brother, you are my brother from now on."
Lu Siyin said with tears in her eyes: "How should I call you?"
"... Just call me Xiaohei!"
Lu Siyin's mouth twitched: "Oh, Xiaohei, this name is quite likable."
Especially when people name dogs...
Xiaohei smiled with a voice changer: "Thank you, I think so too."
After talking to the stupid Erlengzi, Lu Siyin couldn't help but worry about his boss. Will this idiot really tell the truth about their organization one day?
Is the threshold for selecting people in their organization so low? Don't they assess their IQ or something...
Lu Siyin collected her thoughts and walked into the house from the balcony. The other three were doing their own things and didn't notice that she had been outside for a long time. She
fell headfirst into the bed, and a new text message appeared on her mobile phone.
[Your paintings will be exhibited at the exhibition the day after tomorrow. If you are interested, go and have a look.]
Lu Siyin typed "got it" and passed on.
The "National Art Exhibition" is the most authoritative and largest top-level art exhibition, and is also a unique national art evaluation system, held every five years.
It was supposed to start a month ago, but due to some uncontrollable factors, it was postponed to the day after tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow happens to be Saturday, so let's go and have a look together!
Lu Siyin thought so.
