Chapter 264 Rage
In the study room on the second floor, as soon as the door was closed, Brigade Commander Lu said straight to the point: "Xia Nan is most likely a spy."
Lu Kun raised his head suddenly, his pupils suddenly constricted, as if he had been hit on the head with a club.
Seeing his expression, Brigade Commander Lu knew that he must be very shocked.
"It's normal that you didn't notice it. These people disguised themselves perfectly. They might be your most inconspicuous colleague, the tofu lady in the market, or even..." He paused, "They might be your closest person."
After saying this, he looked directly at his son and said, "It's normal for you, an ordinary soldier who has not received professional training, to not be able to tell the difference."
"What did you say?" Lu Kun's voice suddenly rose, trembling with disbelief. "You can even make up such a thing in order to break us up? You said she was immoral before, and now you say she is a spy? Dad, you are going too far!"
Brigade Commander Lu's face instantly turned pale, and he was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to slap his son.
Lu Chen stepped forward and held his arm: "Brigade Commander! Calm down!"
Brigade Commander Lu was so angry that his face turned blue. How could his lifelong reputation be ruined by his own son?
Although this son is not very outstanding, he is not useless at all. It is not impossible for him to live a mediocre life.
Most people in this world are still ordinary.
But after he met Xia Nan, he found that his son was really crazy. He was so bewitched by this woman that he couldn't tell right from wrong and even lost his faith.
"Listen to what this bastard said!" Brigade Commander Lu's hands were shaking. "Am I throwing dirty water on Xia Nan in order to break them up?"
Liao Qing quickly pulled Lu Kun aside and said in a low voice, "The brigade commander is a soldier. Would he joke about something like this? Is this something you can joke about? How can you not believe it?"
The wall clock in the study made a harsh ticking sound. Lu Kun's eyes moved back and forth between his father and Lu Chen, finally settling on Lu Chen's face.
"We are not teaming up to deceive you." Lu Chen explained patiently, "If it weren't a matter of principle, your parents wouldn't object like this."
Lu Kun believed in Lu Chen.
He knew that Lu Chen was usually serious, but he was a man of his words.
"When..." Lu Kun suppressed the emotions surging in his chest, "When did you start to doubt her?"
Lu Chen said, "On the day when you and Xia Nan were at the young officers' party, you kissed her at the back door of the auditorium."
From the moment they met that day, he and Xu Nuo were suspicious of Xia Nan's unusual reaction.
"In the past six months, we have never stopped investigating her background, and we even sent someone to monitor her whereabouts..."
Lu Kun's eyes widened, and a storm surged in his heart: "So you all knew when I was with her?"
"In theory, yes." Lu Chen nodded slightly, paused and said, "But there are always omissions in tracking and surveillance, and it is not ruled out that we have not found it."
Lu Kun suddenly became furious, and shouted with red eyes: "Since you all knew she was a spy, why didn't you arrest her earlier?! Why didn't you tell me?! And just watched me jump in like a fool?!"
"Bang!" Brigade Commander Lu slammed his palm on the table, and the teacup jumped up. "How many times have I reminded you?! You promised your sister-in-law that you saw her having a tryst with another man with your own eyes, and you turned a deaf ear to it! Now you blame us?! You were determined to fall into this trap, and we couldn't stop you!"
Lu Chen's voice was as steady as water: "There is no substantial evidence. We can't just catch one fish. Maybe there are many hidden behind this one. In the past six months, we have been keeping an eye on not only Xia Nan, but also everyone she has come into contact with."
Lu Kun felt that his spiritual world was collapsing, and his expression became dejected.
Liao Qing looked at Lu Kun's pale face and sighed: "Regardlessly, I shouldn't tell you this, but seeing that you are determined to marry Xia Nan, we have to stop you."
Lu Kun staggered back two steps, then suddenly bent over and began to dry heave.
Those sweet dates, those nights of intimacy, have now all turned into shards of glass piercing my lungs.
Brigade Commander Lu stared at his son's red eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Do you believe it now?"
Seeing that Lu Kun was still gritting his teeth and not saying anything, he added: "If you don't believe me, you should at least believe Lu Chen, right?"
Lu Kun believed it.
Of course he knew what kind of person his father was - an old soldier who valued military discipline more than his life. How could he slander a little girl for no reason?
But he couldn't believe that Xia Nan's love for him was all fake, a scam carefully designed to obtain intelligence.
She's already pregnant, and she's carrying his child!!
"Evidence..." Lu Kun said hoarsely, "Show me the evidence."
Lu Chen said solemnly: "There is no evidence now, but we can make her show her true colors in front of you. Isn't this more convincing?"
Lu Kun suddenly fell silent. Did he really want to see Xia Nan reveal her true appearance with his own eyes?
What about his and her children?
Could it be that their children were not as good as that little bit of information?
Why on earth did she do that?
"I need your cooperation." Seeing that he was hesitant, Lu Chen said, "Whether you cooperate or not, we can find Xia Nan in the end... If you really don't want to do it, then don't do it. Just don't get married..."
"I'll cooperate." Lu Kun suddenly interrupted Lu Chen, "She's pregnant. The baby has been in her belly for more than a month... I want to see whether she chooses the baby or the information."
"Okay. Since you have chosen to help, you must strictly follow the plan. Once there are any omissions, it will cause irreversible consequences." Lu Chen whispered.
"If anything goes wrong this time, I will personally submit my resignation report to the army!" Brigade Commander Lu said in a deep voice.
"Okay." Lu Chen nodded and looked at Lu Kun, "Are you ready?"
Lu Kun's cheek muscles twitched twice: "I'm ready."
"Um."
Lu Chen explained the plan in detail, and Lu Kun listened quietly until he finally gritted his teeth and nodded slowly.
When I came out of Brigade Commander Lu's house, the moon was already high in the sky.
The moonlight is as bright as a silver thread, and its soft light fills the entire courtyard.
Lu Chen and Liao Qing were walking in front, talking in low voices. Their voices were so low that only a few words could be heard.
Xu Nuo and Bai Qiu Ning walked side by side behind. Bai Qiu Ning suddenly sighed: "Fortunately, Lu Kun is not my son, otherwise I would have been angry tonight."
"Aunt Tong is really heartbroken this time." Xu Nuo looked at the mottled shadows of the trees on the ground, "The son I raised with great difficulty is going to break off relations with his family just for a woman..."
"That's right!" Bai Qiuning's voice suddenly rose, "Men, none of them are good!"
The two figures in front stopped at the same time. Liao Qing turned around abruptly, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly: "What are you talking about? Did Lao Lu and I provoke you?"
Bai Qiu Ning snorted coldly: "I didn't mention any names, why are you so anxious to identify yourself?"
Liao Qing turned around and lowered his voice and said, "Old Lu, please judge for yourself. Qiu Ning's temper is getting worse and worse. Now that business is not busy, she keeps finding fault with me at home all day."
Lu Chen curled the corners of his lips but didn't respond.
"I was thinking," Liao Qing rubbed his hands, "why don't we discuss having a child with her? What about you? We've been married for almost a year, why haven't we made any progress yet?"
Lu Chen turned around and looked at Xu Nuo who was talking to Bai Qiu Ning. The outline of her face looked particularly soft under the moonlight.
The corners of his lips unconsciously raised: "No hurry."
"Not in a hurry?" Liao Qing's eyes widened. "You're almost thirty years old. Your colleagues' children are already old enough to help with cooking!"
"You are a few years older than me," Lu Chen retorted lightly, "You are not in a hurry, so why should I be in a hurry? Besides... Xu Nuo is busy with his career now, and we haven't had enough of our own world yet."
"You really spoil your wife." Liao Qing couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
The night wind blows, and the shadows of the trees dance.
Lu Chen looked back at the slender figure, the smile in his eyes was gentler than the moonlight.
The next day, Lu Kun appeared in front of Xia Nan with swollen eyes.
