Chapter 97 Chapter 97 He listens to me the most
Sitting on the steps outside the store, Lu Xin stared at the police station across the street.
Several times he was mentally prepared and almost rushed in, but his legs were too weak to move.
Call the police.
The moment he rushed out of the house, this thought was in his mind.
There was no room for maneuver. If they wanted to help Shen Miao get her grades back, they could only rely on the police to intervene.
However, if we really tell the police, things will become a big deal.
Grandpa will be punished, and the uncles who participated in this will be investigated, and their medical licenses may be revoked. And I...
Will he go to a juvenile detention center? No, he is already an adult, but if he goes to prison, he will definitely be bullied to death by so many murderers, arsonists, and criminals day and night!
However, if she didn’t tell him, what would Shen Miao do?
This was the first time that Lu Xin "robbed" someone else's things. Although he didn't know it beforehand, the feeling of being forced to be a robber was even more uncomfortable.
In the police station, several policemen were handling a fight.
When the two arrived, they were fighting like black-eyed chickens, but after some mediation by the police, they calmed down.
Unfortunately, no matter how good the police's mediation skills are, they can't separate his rationality and impulse when he is fighting.
Lu Xin sat outside in the cold winter wind for a whole night, and he still hadn't made a decision until dawn.
"Wake up, wake up?"
He didn't know when he fell asleep leaning against the wall. When he was woken up, he was having a nightmare about being beaten by a group of prisoners in prison. He was so scared that he suddenly raised his head and hit it against the wall with a "bang".
hiss……
Not only did my head hurt from the collision, but my bones and joints, which hadn't been moved much all night, also felt sore as if they'd been soaked in vinegar.
The person who woke him up was a policeman. Behind him were several colleagues, one of whom was the second-in-command of the Yellow River Branch.
Lu Xin recognized him, he was Shen Miao’s cousin, named Luo Jialin.
After winter comes, it is still dark after six o'clock.
Thinking that the Chinese New Year was only a month away and that it was not easy for the police officers on duty in the police station at night, Luo Jialin wanted to take advantage of the shift change to invite them to have breakfast and give them some comfort.
When he passed by the store, he thought it was a homeless vagrant, but he didn't expect it to be Lu Xin.
“Uncle…”
After brushing the dirt off his butt and standing up from the ground, Lu Xin bowed to Luo Jialin.
"How can you spend the night outside in such a cold weather?"
Luo Jialin walked forward and frowned when he saw that Lu Xin didn't look very well. "Move around quickly and see if you feel uncomfortable with the cold. If you feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital immediately."
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Lu Xin rubbed the numb back of his neck. When talking to Luo Jialin, he kept his head half lowered, fearing that the sharp insight unique to the police would discover something.
"Did you have a quarrel with your family?"
"You got into trouble and you don't dare go home?"
"This place is only a few steps away from the police station. Why don't you come to us if you have any problems? There will be people on duty even at night."
Several policemen came forward enthusiastically to inquire about his situation, but the more proactive they were, the more Lu Xin wanted to escape.
After being blown by the cold wind all night, Lu Xin thought it through. He decided to listen to his grandfather and pretend that he didn't know about it and forget about it completely. As for Shen Miao... he would treat her twice as well, make up for her twice as much, and accompany her to spend these boring six months again.
But this does not mean that he forgave Lu Jianghai.
He didn't want to attend any celebration party, nor did he want to go home, he just wanted to stay outside.
Originally he wanted to go find Shen Miao…but he didn’t have the face to do so.
"I'm fine." Lu Xin shook off the dust on his clothes, his eyes flickering, and he barely pulled the corner of his lips, "I'll go home now. Thank you, uncle. Thank you."
Luo Jialin invited him, "Don't rush back, let's go have a meal together."
"No, no, I..."
Before he could refuse, Luo Jialin put his arm on his shoulders and pulled him back. "It's so cold, eat something hot to warm yourself up first. I'll drive you back after you finish eating."
Luo Jialin had said so much, it would be impolite to refuse, so Lu Xin had no choice but to go with them to dinner.
Luo Jialin's impression of Lu Xin was that he was a sunny, talkative boy, but he didn't say much on the way to dinner. It seemed as if there was a dark cloud hanging over his head, and it seemed that a thunderbolt might strike at any time.
Seeing that he was not in a good state, Luo Jialin did not ask him what happened, but just put a few more dumplings in his bowl.
When the group returned from the breakfast shop, it was already dawn.
After having food in his stomach, Lu Xin felt much better and his brain had the energy to continue working. So he thought about what excuse he could come up with to prevent Luo Jialin from sending him home.
But he thought too much. Luo Jialin did not send him home. After the police officers on duty went home one after another, Luo Jialin took him back to his office. While adding water to the kettle, he said to him: "It's cold, don't wander around outside. Just stay in my office. If you want to go home, tell the uncle next door."
Lu Xin said nothing, but looked at him in surprise.
Although Lu Xin didn't say anything, Luo Jialin could guess that something must have happened to him. He couldn't tell his family or contact the Shen family, so he had no choice but to spend the night outside the police station.
If he doesn't say anything, there is no need for me to ask. I just need to take care of his safety, which is considered as fulfilling my responsibility as an "elder".
After saying that, Luo Jialin picked up the hat on the hanger and went out to call people to a meeting.
Luo Jialin's office was large and heated, so he didn't need to worry about anyone coming in to disturb him. But Lu Xin felt uneasy, so he took another nap in his chair, and when he was almost refreshed, he was ready to leave.
As instructed by Luo Jialin, he went to the office next door before leaving, but no one was there, so he went back and left a note.
In the morning at the hotel, the sun had already risen to halfway in the sky. It was very comfortable to be in the sun, but the temperature was still a little low.
When going downstairs, Lu Xin was thinking about where to go next, when a shoe flew towards him.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and turned his head in time, so he was not hit in the face by the slippers.
Lu Xin thought that it was Lu Jianghai who went to the police station. He was about to muster up his stubbornness, but when he saw the man's face clearly, he suppressed it.
"Stop fighting! This is a police station!"
"Tell that bastard that he was the first to start this!"
"What's wrong with me being the first? Your family is so shameless, I won't punish you enough!"
"Come on, Mom, fight! I'll beat you to death today!"
…
After finally bringing the person back safely, the man who arrived later started a quarrel again as soon as they entered the police station.
Five or six people were fighting in a group, and the scene was so violent that even if you were far away, when you saw the raised fists, you could still hear the dull sound of the fists landing on your body.
This farce made Lu Xin stop for a moment, and he moved forward with the police who were trying to stop the fight.
"Remember! Your family is a thief! A thief for life!"
"Watch your mouth, what's a thief? I've paid for what I owe, what else do you want?"
"That's easy to say, but you want to pay me back? Then let me chop off your arm and I'll pay you 20,000 yuan. Is that okay?"
"Fuck you, you're just chopping off a duck feather!"
"Still having sex here, huh? Do you want to be beaten?!"
The two families were like enemies. They were finally separated by the police, but they started fighting again before they could even say a few words.
After listening for a while, Lu Xin finally figured out the relationship between the two families.
They were originally relatives with the same surname living in the same village and had been on good terms for decades until the village east of Yu City was demolished, which not only changed the appearance of the land, but also brought to light some old stories that had been buried for many years.
The elders on both sides are cousins, only half a year apart in age. They grew up together, went to school together, and have a relationship like real siblings.
In 1980, they took the college entrance examination together. The elder brother was admitted to a key university in another city, but the younger sister failed. She wanted to repeat the exam, but her family didn't allow her to do so, so she had to pack her bags and go to the city to work.
After graduation, both of them developed well. The brother entered the system and the sister became the boss of a small company. The relationship between the two families became increasingly close, until the village was demolished and they discovered a conspiracy from many years ago while processing paperwork.
It turned out that it was the younger sister who was admitted to the university that year. It was the uncle who was the village secretary who made some adjustments and changed the names of the two people in the household registration book shared by the village, so that the brother could go to university instead of the younger sister.
Fortunately, during the demolition, it was discovered that the two names had been swapped. The younger sister felt something was wrong and spent some time investigating, only then did she know the real reason why she failed the college entrance examination.
My cousin sued my cousin.
After the court trial, Dang Ge had to pay a compensation of 150,000 yuan. Not only was his academic qualifications revoked, he was also expelled from the party and lost his job. From then on, his life plummeted.
But he couldn't blame anyone, because it was all his own fault.
Legally speaking, the matter has been resolved, but emotionally speaking, the sister cannot let it go.
Although she is living a comfortable life now, and her company and life are thriving thanks to her efforts, what if she had been admitted to university? What if she had obtained a higher degree?
Then, would we not have to suffer so much, and would our lives be better than they are now?
She couldn't let it go, no matter what she did, even if the two families were no longer in contact and she no longer mentioned it in front of her family, but she would still think of this incident from time to time, and think of her life that was forced to change.
If the brother had been more proactive in admitting his mistake, the sister would not have been so harsh. However, he still felt that he had done nothing wrong and said that if it had not been for her grades, she would not have earned so much money today, would not have been able to marry such a good man, and would not have been able to give birth to such an outstanding child.
In short, we should not blame him, but thank him.
After these words came out, even if she could endure it, her family members could not swallow this breath and were determined to fight with them to the end!
As children, they naturally sided with their parents, and thus the two families went from being relatives to being enemies.
Today, my cousin's family reported my cousin's family for operating without a license. His son got angry and started fighting, and a fight broke out, and he even overturned the stall.
One wanted to vent his mother's anger, and the other wanted to stand up for his father. Neither of them was willing to give in. Even in the police station, they were like dry firewood and hay, which would catch fire at the slightest touch.
"Is it that serious? It's just a change of points. Why are you beating me so hard?" The newly arrived young police officer next to him was ignorant and muttered to himself while tidying up the debris on the table.
He felt that his cousin's family was ignorant.
The money has been compensated and the mistake has been admitted. After all, they are relatives with the same surname and have seen each other for decades. There is no need to make things so awkward.
The team leader next to him bumped his arm and glared at him sternly, "Of course not, this is a matter of a lifetime." After taking the notebook from him, he said, "If it were you, and someone changed your score when you took the police academy entrance exam, can you guarantee that you will do better in the future than if you graduated from the police academy?"
The police officer remained silent and apologized to his master honestly.
Lu Xin took every word the old policeman said to heart.
Yes, even if Shen Miao had good grades, would she definitely pass next time? Wouldn’t she be affected by this incident? Wouldn’t Lu Jianghai use the same old trick again and ruin Shen Miao’s paper again in order to break them up?
Standing aside, Lu Xin heard the old police officer say a lot of similar things.
There are many cases like this of "stealing the dragon and switching the phoenix". Not to mention the college entrance examination and adult examination, technical certificates, professional certificates, and qualification certificates often have their scores replaced.
——People who are really capable will not mind if their grades are changed, because they will definitely pass the exam next time.
This is a sarcastic remark that veteran police officers often hear, because to outsiders, gold always shines.
But after handling so many related cases in the police station, the veteran police officer felt more and more that anyone who could say such words was definitely a scum who would do shameless things.
Even though gold shines, it has no obligation to share its light with others.
Does the ability to glow mean that people should remember you?
"There is a saying that goes 'If one's virtue is not matched with his position, there will be disaster.' You see, he became an official after taking someone else's grades, but think about it, can a person who steals someone else's grades be a good official? Can you guarantee that he won't cause trouble?"
"Other people can make a name for themselves by working hard. If you have this, just imagine how great your achievements will be."
"Just because of what you said just now, you are responsible for organizing the information for this quarter. If you don't organize it well, I will come to you for trouble."
These words seemed to be a reprimand for the young policeman who had said something wrong, but in fact they made Lu Xin lower his head.
Yes, I am just a "vase" used by my grandfather to decorate the house. What's the point of getting a high score? I can't cure diseases and save lives, nor am I good at teaching and reasoning. I can't even do the simplest prescription.
Looking at the two relatives who were undergoing mediation, Lu Xin's heart seemed to be pressed by something heavy, but his mind became clearer.
No, he can't do that!
He didn't want to live his whole life with lies, nor did he want to be a "genius" for his whole life as arranged by Lu Jianghai.
He regretted it.
Lu Xin quickly ran back upstairs and continued to stay in Luo Jialin's office. He sat and waited for about twenty minutes before Luo Jialin came back.
Seeing that Lu Xin had stayed, Luo Jialin was a little surprised, "I thought you would leave."
After making up his mind, Lu Xin stood up from his chair and said righteously: "Uncle, I have something to report to you..."
At the same time, at the Lu family's house a few kilometers away, the earliest group of guests had already arrived to celebrate for Lu Xin.
"Congratulations, teacher, for having such a smart grandson!"
"He's number one in the district. It's not easy for someone of his age."
"As expected of a family of doctors that has been passed down for generations, each generation is outstanding!"
Those who came to the Lu family were the ones who had the closest relationship with Lu Jianghai, but in order to avoid gossip, not everyone knew that Lu Xin was a "genius".
On such an important day, Qin Xiaokun would naturally come, as he is Lu Jianghai's most proud student in his life.
Normally he likes to bring his glass carafe of water wherever he goes. Today he brought one as well, but it was not an ordinary water bottle, but a bottle of red wine.
"Congratulations."
Qin Xiaokun, who knew the inside story, couldn't be as excited as those students. He just expressed his joy lightly after handing over the red wine.
"Where is our top scholar? Is he not at home?" someone asked.
Lu Jianghai said without hesitation: "He went to a classmate's house to play, and he went there directly when it was time for dinner."
Going to a classmate's house to play?
Qin Xiaokun didn't believe it. He saw the broken pieces of the phone in the unemptied trash can, as well as Lu Yuanming's excitement and disappointment when he opened the door.
Well, most likely he ran away yesterday and never came back.
Following Lu Jianghai to the study, the unfinished calligraphy from yesterday was still on the table. Lu Jianghai was very satisfied with the first half, but he didn't continue writing because he was in a bad mood yesterday. He thought he would finish it after dinner today.
"Is it okay?" Lu Jianghai asked.
Qin Xiaokun just said "hmm" lightly as before.
"Dad," Lu Yuanming came in from outside and subconsciously closed the door, "I've contacted his good friends and classmates, but no one has seen him. How about calling the Shen family?"
Lu Jianghai: "No, he won't go."
Lu Xin was raised by him personally, so he naturally understood his grandson's personality.
Angry? Shame?
Regardless of which emotion he had, he would never go to find Shen Miao at this moment, because he knew that Lu Xin definitely didn't want Shen Miao to see anything, and would definitely keep his mouth shut to keep the secret.
Even if he wasn't a genius, he wasn't that stupid. He just ran away from home, and at most he would find an internet cafe or somewhere to stay for a night.
"Let's fight, just in case..."
"If I say there's no need to fight, then there's no need to fight," Lu Jianghai interrupted him impatiently, "Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Lu Yuanming originally wanted to say what if Lu Xin didn't go to the celebration party today, but since he didn't want to listen, forget it.
Qin Xiaokun probably guessed what was going on, so he casually asked, "Does Xiaoxin know?"
"Um."
After he answered, Lu Jianghai realized something was wrong. He turned his head and looked at him in surprise, but soon his emotions returned to calm.
That’s right, even if he didn’t say it, Qin Xiaokun could guess what the situation was with his intelligence.
His “hmm” answered a lot, telling him that Lu Xin knew that he had changed Shen Miao’s score, and also told him that his changing Shen Miao’s paper was more than just a guess.
Qin Xiaokun knew about Lu Jianghai's arrangement for Lu Xin from the beginning, and he neither supported nor denied his approach.
The reason for not supporting it is that they think changing scores is illegal and too risky; the reason for not denying it is that they think even if Lu Xin gets a medical license, he will not be able to practice medicine, and becoming a curator or dean who manages people in the future is at least a way out.
Therefore, when he was in school, he always cooperated with Lu Jianghai's arrangements: he was given the correct answers in every test, making him the top of the class; no matter his usual studies, he would not be called upon to answer questions, and he would turn a blind eye to everything.
until……
Lu Xin began to pursue Shen Miao, and Qin Xiaokun felt that Lu Jianghai might change his original plan.
Qin Xiaokun knew Lu Jianghai too well. Although he was his first teacher, it was he who brought him into the field of traditional Chinese medicine when Shen Wanshan rejected him. It was he who introduced him to the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and finally he got to the position he has today.
But I have to say that he is an out-and-out villain.
His mind is extremely small, smaller than the tip of a needle.
But he is his teacher after all, so no matter how bad he is, Qin Xiaokun still maintains respect for him.
When he realized that Qin Xiaokun wanted to retaliate against Shen Miao to vent his anger and hurt the Shen family, he had no way to persuade Lu Jianghai, because it would be useless, so he tried to get Shen Miao to avoid him, but unfortunately he failed.
Before this, Shen Miao’s disappearing score had always been a thought in Qin Xiaokun’s mind, and Lu Jianghai’s answer today made his guess come true.
Just know it if you know it. Anyway, Lu Jianghai is confident that he won’t tell anyone.
"Xiao Xin won't give up." Qin Xiaokun said.
Lu Jianghai still had an indifferent attitude: "No, I'm his grandfather, don't I know him? He just can't figure it out now, he will be fine in a few days."
After all, they are still a family, and blood is thicker than water. What can Lu Xin do if he can't figure it out? Can he go to the police station to expose himself?
Lu Xin is still young and has never been in a relationship. When he grows up, he will realize that the most important thing for a man is his career. Love affairs are not important. Only career is worth pursuing by any means necessary.
Seeing his smug look, Qin Xiaokun thought about it and swallowed the words back.
It seems that even if he is his biological son and even if he raised him personally, he doesn't know Lu Xin that well.
Lu Xin is a simple person, and he values friendship more than he imagined. It would be better if he didn't know. Once he knew, he would definitely make the best decision.
Thump thump thump!
There was suddenly a knock on the door.
Putting down the things in his hands, Lu Yuanming quickly went to open the door: "I'm coming."
"Xiao Xin? Police comrades? You..."
"Excuse me, is Lu Jianghai at home?" After showing his police ID, Luo Jialin said righteously, "According to reports, Lu Jianghai was suspected of cheating in the traditional Chinese medicine exam last month. Please come with us to assist in the investigation."
