Chapter 337 The Secret That Has Been Hidden in My Heart for a Long Time
Lin Ya stared at the wine glass on the table, suddenly picked up a glass of wine, tilted her head back and drank it all.
When she was about to take the second cup of Xu Nuo, Lu Chen raised his hand to stop her: "You are still recovering, don't drink."
"Some things have been kept in my heart for too long, and I don't know where to start." Lin Ya gently pushed Lu Chen's hand away, picked up the wine glass and drank the second glass.
The spicy wine went down her throat, causing her to cough.
I finally calmed down, and as soon as I opened my mouth to speak, tears started flowing.
"Brother Lu Chen, you were only eleven years old when you moved out of the military compound, right?"
Lu Chen nodded slightly: "That year my father was transferred to Beijing City, and the whole family moved there."
"A few years after you left, that turbulent period began. My father died in that struggle, and half a year after my father left, my mother also died of coughing up blood due to overwork. Only my brother and I were left..." Lin Ya thought of those days, tears rolling down her face.
Lu Chen could understand the difficulty without Lin Ya saying more.
During that period, many of the uncles and aunts around me were sent to farms, and some of them... needless to say, their circumstances were even worse.
Since Lu Huaizheng was transferred to Beijing, he has not had much contact with his former subordinates, and he is not sure about the situation of Jian Ya's family.
After the turmoil began, Lu Huaizheng himself went through several rounds of investigation and almost got caught.
He never knew about the situation of Jane's family, and Jane's family had never written to him for help.
After that, Qin Huayun started to divorce him, leaving Lu Chen and him to live a hard life, and she had no time to think about anything else.
"Uncle Jian has never written a letter to my dad. Even if he had written one, my dad would not have been without news of you forever. Perhaps, at that time, he could still help." Lu Chen said.
Lin Ya smiled with tears in her eyes and shook her head: "I can't write. My mother couldn't hold on at the beginning and wanted to write a letter for help. My father said that I can't write it, and I can't implicate innocent people."
Lu Chen: "Uncle Jian really thought about us."
"I've gone too far." Lin Ya wiped her tears, "After our parents passed away, my brother and I were the only ones left at home."
"How did you go abroad?" Lu Chen once asked this question.
Lin Ya had told him before that it was her aunt who lived abroad who helped her.
"I smuggled myself across the border," Lin Ya said. "It was indeed my aunt who found someone to help me smuggle myself across the border... That's why my brother and I changed our surnames. I was young at the time and don't remember many details. I studied abroad for many years. After my aunt passed away, I heard that the situation in China had improved, so my brother and I decided to come back."
Life is really unpredictable. My parents experienced a catastrophe because of my aunt’s overseas connections.
However, after her parents left, her aunt took great pains and spent all her family wealth to raise her and her brother away.
She studied medicine and her brother studied finance and economics.
In fact, the seeds of change had already been planted in college. Qi Yue and others had already targeted her and her brother Jian Rui. Knowing that they were going to return to China, they tried to persuade them to become spies.
So, the moment the two of them set foot on the land, they encountered misfortune.
Her brother Jian Rui was beaten and taken away seriously, and she was taken away for training for several months and then sent to the military hospital here to work as a doctor.
During these days, she repeatedly struggled with herself.
Qi Yue was like a curse that couldn't be shaken off, staring at her. At that time, there was Xia Nan, who was eager to make a contribution, so she could still take a breath for the time being.
However, since Xia Nan's death, she has been pushed to the forefront.
The other party repeatedly threatened her brother Jian Rui's life.
Therefore, she was very conflicted. She clearly regarded Lu Chen as her brother, but she insisted on seducing him.
Qi Yue also wants her to force Xu Nuo away and marry Lu Chen, so that he can lurk beside him and wait for an opportunity to steal information.
She is in torment every day, with her brother on one side and the country on the other.
Her parents' teachings were still fresh in her mind. She couldn't betray her conscience, but she couldn't abandon her brother either.
After meeting Liao Hong, the girl told her everything openly, which gradually opened her closed heart.
Moreover, she herself could also find that the road ahead was not easy.
Her brother's life is in the hands of those people. If she is not careful, her brother's life will be lost.
This is not a long-term solution.
In addition, some time ago, Qi Yue asked her where the address of the promise she had made was.
The more she thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.
If Xu Nuo got into any trouble, she would feel that she was sorry for her and even more sorry for Xu Nuo.
Before, rumors about Xu Nuo were flying all over the hospital, and she created them on purpose.
She had always felt guilty for causing so much trouble and distress to Xu Nuo and Lu Chen.
So, after careful consideration, she decided to speak out.
Liao Hong is right, there is a country behind Lu Chen.
She would only slide into the abyss if she followed that group of people. Only by seeking help from Lu Chen could she perhaps step into the light again.
"The Qi Yue you mentioned sounds a little familiar to me..." Lu Chen said.
He seemed to have heard it somewhere.
"Don't worry about Qi Yue for now." Lin Ya interrupted Lu Chen directly, "You want to catch him, but it won't be easy for you to do so in a short time. It will definitely take some effort. Right now, there is something more important than this."
"What's the matter?" Lu Chen asked.
"He came to me a few days ago and asked where my sister-in-law's medical support was..."
Hearing this, Lu Chen's heart sank slightly: "How long has it been?"
"It's been a while. Brother Lu Chen has repeatedly promised that he would not touch my sister-in-law. He said that he is not tired of living. But he didn't tell me what he was going to do... So, I am a little worried."
"I see." Lu Chen couldn't eat anymore after hearing about this. He immediately stood up and said, "I know everything about you. Report the situation to the National Security Bureau later. If there is anything they want to investigate, you should cooperate. I have to leave tonight. Wu Yue will stay with you for now. You can ask Ling Sheng to accompany him later. You can stay at Aunt Qin's house for one night."
Lin Ya knew that Lu Chen was going to see Xu Nuo, so she agreed: "Don't worry, Wu Yue, you don't have to worry."
"Okay, I'll leave then."
"Um."
"Liao Hong, please help Lin Ya with the support."
Liao Hong agreed: "Don't worry, Captain Lu, I'm here, no problem."
As soon as Lu Chen left, Liao Hong came over and asked Lin Ya: "The man who came that day was Qi Yue, right?"
Lin Ya admitted: "Yes."
"Why didn't you tell me at that time? If you had told me, we could have worked together to catch this bastard, and he wouldn't have been able to walk out of the house so openly." Liao Hong felt extremely regretful.
"It's useless." Lin Ya sighed, "It's useless for you to catch him. My brother is still in their hands... I don't know when I can see my brother again..."
