Lin Yuexi thought her eyes were blurry and she was having a sweet dream in broad daylight.
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun were sharp-eyed. When they heard about their father's mistake, they didn't even eat breakfast and ran towards the tall figure at the door, cheering.
"Dad, you're back..."
"Zi Yan, Xi Yun, I'm sorry, Dad is back late..."
Lu Cheng squatted down, opened his arms and tightly hugged Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun who were running towards him. His eyes were red and his voice was full of guilt and heartache.
He looked over the children's heads at Lin Yuexi. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, including heartache for his wife, self-blame for not being able to protect his family in time, and anger towards those who hurt his family.
Lin Yuexi looked at the real Lu Cheng in front of her, her eyes instantly moistened, and the carrying pole in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
The grievances, worries and fears of the past few days surged out at this moment like a flood breaking through a dam.
She walked quickly towards Lu Cheng, her steps staggering, and almost fell into his arms.
"Lu Cheng, you're finally back..." Lin Yuexi choked, her tears soaking Lu Cheng's clothes.
She found that at this moment, she was no longer the famous female killer and female agent in her previous life, but just an ordinary woman who wanted her husband to stay by her side to protect her in times of crisis. She thought, this should be the wish of the original owner!
Lu Cheng gently patted Lin Yuexi's back and comforted her, "Yuexi, I'm sorry, I came back late again and made you suffer! But don't worry, I have already dealt with the matter between Li Sangru and Lin Dashan..."
At this time, Lin Fugui and Lin Wan, who were lying on the ground, saw Lu Cheng say this, and their faces showed desperate expressions, but they continued to beg, "Lu Cheng, Sang Ru, no matter what, Dashan is still your mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Just consider that I am Yuexi's father and write a letter of understanding and let them come back! They all know they are wrong."
Hearing this, Lu Cheng's eyes instantly turned icy cold. He turned his head and stared at Lin Fugui coldly, "Father-in-law, who is my father-in-law? Lin Fugui, you must have forgotten the suffering Yuexi went through in your Lin family! Have you also forgotten the fact that Yuexi had already severed ties with you?
Letter of understanding? Do you still want a letter of understanding? Don’t even think about it! Li Sangru and Lin Dashan kidnapped my child, which is an unforgivable crime. Not only do you not reflect on your own mistakes, but you also shamelessly come here to ask for forgiveness. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? ”
Lu Cheng's words were like a sharp blade, and every word hit the vital points of Lin Fugui and Lin Wan. They lowered their heads, not daring to look Lu Cheng in the eye, and the accusations from the surrounding villagers grew louder and louder.
"That's right, people like this should be punished by law. It's a joke that they still want to beg for forgiveness!"
"Lin Fugui, the immoral things your family has done have been seen by the whole village, so stop embarrassing yourself."
Amid the accusations of the crowd, Lin Fugui and Lin Wan got up from the ground in shame and fled the scene in embarrassment.
Lu Cheng held Xiyun steadily with one hand, and tightly held Lin Yuexi with the other hand. The warmth from his palms continued to be transmitted, as if silently telling of his longing and concern for her during these days.
Lu Ziyan was like a happy little deer, skipping and jumping in front, humming a tuneless little tune, and running towards the house with joy in his heart.
The warm and harmonious appearance of the family of four made the people who were originally watching the excitement around them smile with relief, and then they dispersed in twos and threes, not wanting to disturb their rare reunion moment.
Captain Li stood not far away, quietly looking at this happy family of four.
His eyes were full of tenderness and relief, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, outlining a faint smile.
He knew very well that this family had gone through a lot of ups and downs during this period of time. Now that he saw that they had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, he felt sincerely happy for them.
Captain Li sighed lightly, turned around and left with brisk steps. His back looked particularly light in the sunlight, as if he had welcomed some happy event.
Lu Cheng's family of four entered the house. The dining table was still filled with the faint aroma left by Lin Yuexi when she prepared breakfast in the morning.
Lin Yuexi raised her head slightly, and asked Lu Cheng with concern in her eyes: "Have you eaten?"
Lu Cheng nodded slightly, with a tired but satisfied smile on his face, and replied softly: "I have already eaten..."
"Lu Cheng, is it true that what you said about Li Sangru and Lin Dashan not being able to come back for at least 20 years?" Lin Yuexi asked again.
"Really? Why would I lie to you?" Lu Cheng replied.
His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the moment he received the telegram.
At that time, he was undergoing intensive study and training in the military academy. A telegram from home was like a bombshell, instantly shattering his originally peaceful life.
When he saw the shocking words "child missing" on the telegram, he felt his head buzzing and was completely stunned.
After a moment of panic, Lu Cheng quickly adjusted himself, anxiously asked for leave from the military academy leaders, and earnestly expressed his urgent need to go home to find his child.
The military academy leaders were fully aware of the seriousness of the matter, expressed deep sympathy for his situation, and approved his request without further ado.
Not only that, the leader was also very considerate and told him that after he went back to find his child this time, he could just come back after the New Year to spend more time with his family and take care of the affairs at home.
Lu Cheng was filled with gratitude and thanked him repeatedly, then he set off on his journey home without stopping.
Along the way, he was eager to return home and wished he could fly back home immediately.
On the train, he was restless. The children's lovely smiling faces and Lin Yuexi's anxious and helpless look kept appearing in his mind, which made his heart tighten.
He felt that every passing minute and every second seemed to be torturing him mercilessly.
Finally this morning, Lu Cheng arrived in Gan'an County.
The moment he stepped into the county town, he felt mixed emotions.
However, to his surprise and joy, after asking Deputy Secretary Zhao about the situation, he learned that Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun had returned home safely. The heart that had been hanging in his throat finally settled down a little.
After Deputy Secretary Zhao invited him to dinner, he did not go home immediately. Instead, he hurried to the Public Security Bureau, found Liu Zhien who was handling the case, and asked him in detail about the whole story.
When he heard that the culprits were Li Sangru and Lin Dashan, the anger in his heart suddenly rose up, like a blazing fire, instantly devouring all his reason.
Lu Cheng suppressed his inner anger and tried his best to stay calm.
He knew very well that the only way to get justice for the children was to act rationally at this moment.
So he immediately asked to negotiate with the judge handling the case.
When meeting with the judge, Lu Cheng explained the whole story in detail, his words were passionate and firm, and he emphasized that Li Sangru and Lin Dashan's act of trafficking in military dependents was a serious crime of an extremely bad nature.
