Lu Huixuan was rarely cowardly.
He did not return to the Lu family, nor did he go back to question his father.
He was afraid that what Wu Yilin said was the truth.
Two months passed in a daze until one day, Zhou Zhe sent me a painting.
The painting shows a woman placed in an oversized container with tubes all over her body, and the container is filled with green unknown liquid.
Although the woman's body was not covered with bruises like Wu Yilin's, it seemed like her skin was about to melt, perhaps because she had been soaking in the water for too long.
That woman is Jiang Yu.
Zhou Zhe: I signed a confidentiality agreement with them, my eyes were covered, and then I was taken to a place similar to a basement.
Zhou Zhe: That place is even bigger than the largest underground parking lot in H City. I can’t say how many people are inside. Anyway, I saw at least thousands of such containers.
Zhou Zhe: No electronic products are allowed there. I drew the picture later and it can restore 80% of it.
So, Lu Huixuan returned to his suburban villa.
The car was parked outside the villa, with the bed covered with snow. He held the steering wheel with one hand, lowered his eyes, and a hint of self-mockery slipped across the corner of his mouth before he got out of the car.
He opened the door of the villa, and Butler Liu walked over and skillfully took the things from his hands, "Young Master, would you like something to eat? I'll go tell the kitchen to make some soup."
"No need." Lu Huixuan refused calmly, looking towards the dark room on the second floor, "My dad hasn't come back yet?"
"As you know, the master's mental state has not been very good since his wife disappeared, but don't worry, Xiao Liu is with us!"
After Butler Liu finished speaking, he moved his lips again, as if the words were on the tip of his tongue but he swallowed them back due to various concerns.
Lu Huixuan ignored the abnormality of Butler Liu and went straight to the deepest room on the second floor.
The room was still the same as before, unchanged for ten years. He turned on the light and saw the wedding photo hanging on the wall.
Jiang Yu in the photo looked young and beautiful, completely different from the picture Zhou Zhe sent today.
He lightly brushed his fingers across the table, leaving the tips of his fingers covered in dust.
No one has cleaned this place for a long time.
Lu Huixuan searched the room and even took down the photos on the wall to look at them thoroughly.
It's useless. I didn't find anything.
He left the room and said to Butler Liu, "Find someone to clean my mother's room."
"This..." Butler Liu hesitated to speak.
"Hmm? No way?"
Lu Huixuan raised his eyebrows, dissatisfaction showing in his eyes.
"No, Master, it was Grandpa who wouldn't let us into that room. He used to clean it himself. He said he was afraid we would damage Madam's things and make her angry and unwilling to come back."
But ever since the young master went out to live alone, the old master rarely comes back. Every time he comes back, he looks extremely tired. Obviously, all the big and small matters of the company are on the young master's shoulders!
"Oh, I see."
His tone was indifferent, and he didn't continue talking about cleaning the room, as if the matter had just been left unresolved.
But the eyes that were suppressed by him were slightly cold.
He turned towards the study, but found that the door was locked.
He scoffed and went back to his room.
Early the next morning.
Lu Huixuan drank the warm goat milk in his hand indifferently, his eyes fixed on the outside of the door, not on Lu Fang who looked exhausted.
Lu Fang saw a hint of surprise in Lu Huixuan's eyes, but it quickly returned to normal.
He was like a good father, sitting opposite Lu Huixuan.
"When did Huixuan come back? He didn't even tell dad in advance."
As he spoke, he added another cup of warm goat milk that was almost empty.
He frowned and turned to the maid next to him and began to scold: "Really, you are standing there without any consideration. Huixuan finished his milk, couldn't you fill it up for him?!"
His eyes were wide open, as if he was about to fire the maid at any second.
Lu Huixuan looked at the goat milk in his hand and fell into deep thought. Finally, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He just watched Lu Fang scolding him in front of him silently.
At that moment, he seemed not to recognize his father.
It seemed that the tall and gentle figure in my memory was not him.
Goat milk and cow milk.
ridiculous.
He is allergic to cow's milk and only drinks goat's milk.
So is his mother.
He suppressed his emotions and spoke with all his strength: "Dad, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Don't get angry over trivial matters."
Lu Fang turned around and smiled awkwardly, "Hui Xuan is right. Look at Dad. He's really getting old and confused. He only thinks about how to get others to take care of you..."
Lu Fang met Lu Huixuan's gloomy eyes and swallowed unconsciously.
At this time, Lu Huixuan smiled, and the smile on his face was like a warm breeze.
"How can you blame Dad for this? It's my fault for letting you still be running around outside at such an old age." He paused, a puzzled look in his eyes, "But Dad, what have you been busy with lately?"
His tone was like a question, but Lu Fang just waved his hand with a melancholy look in his eyes: "Hui Xuan, I miss your mom. I've been running around these days, going to all the places we went to when we were young."
He was already wiping away tears as he spoke, "Where did she go?"
Lu Huixuan didn't respond, but instead started chatting with Lu Fang: "Dad, you seem to have never told me about what happened between you and my mom when we were young. It was said that it was my mom who pursued you?"
Lu Fang's face flushed. "Oh, it's been so long, and I'm old. How can I say this in front of you? I can't bear it!"
Lu Huixuan had finished his breakfast long ago. Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of her, he stood up first and said, "You should have a good rest these two days. I'm going to the company first."
Lu Fang nodded, and did not go up to the second floor until Lu Huixuan's figure became smaller and smaller and disappeared from his sight. He first went to the deepest room. Although the room had been tidied back to its original state, the mark of his fingers sliding across the dust was still there.
You can tell at a glance that it has been rummaged through.
He hurried to the study again, took out his things in a panic, and moved them all to the deepest room.
When the time comes, he will definitely go to his study, a room he has already checked and will not spend any more time in.
Huixuan, don’t blame Dad. If you insist on investigating this matter, you will be the one who is sad and upset!
He hid the things and then closed the door.
He deliberately left the study open, waiting for Lu Huixuan to go in and check next time.
In the deepest room, a flash of red light appeared on the wedding photo on the wall.
The car stopped by the roadside, and Lu Huixuan silently watched the surveillance video in his hand.
Suddenly, the little fantasy I had about my father in my heart shattered in that instant.
