Chapter 249 Something Happened to Lu Qijun
Lu Qiyun's foot on the accelerator lightly loosened: "I forgot."
"Forget it, I can just get it tomorrow." Lu Shiman curled up in the lazy sofa, biting her nails, and swung her toes back and forth in her slippers.
The blue light of the car navigation system swept across her jaw, and Lu Qijun heard the disappointment in her tone: "Go get it."
He gripped the steering wheel tightly with his knuckles and suddenly turned it all the way to the left, and the car drew a smooth U-shaped arc at the intersection.
"Don't go, Fourth Brother. Your first priority now is to bring back some barbecue for us who are starving."
"Very quickly." Lu Qijun unbuttoned his shirt with one hand, and the roar of the engine crushed the projection of the street lamp.
Lu Shiman took the cake from Lu Jianheng and ate while chatting with her fourth brother.
It’s more like talking to myself than chatting with him.
"Fourth brother, come back quickly after you get it. I'm so hungry that I can eat a cow."
After parking the car, he connected his Bluetooth headset, put his phone in his pocket and got out of the car.
The Bluetooth headset emitted the lab access notification tone: "Anything else?"
"What else is there in your lab?" Lu Shiman was curious.
Lu Qiyun laughed softly from his throat: "I."
Lu Shiman was amused by his words: "Fourth brother, you are nothing."
"Swearing again."
The moment the tempered door slid open, the unique sweet and fishy smell of nitroglycerin rushed out of the air outlet, and the blades of the ventilation fan above were stuck with suspicious crystalline powder.
As Lu Qiyun retreated, the heels of his leather shoes crushed the crystal blocks, and his brows were furrowed.
Lu Shiman's own song plays in his Bluetooth earphones: "Fourth Brother is the best~ Lots of barbecued chili peppers..."
The emergency exit indicator light suddenly flashed several times. He stared at the office at the end of the corridor, his hand unconsciously stroking the hem of his clothes.
The image of my sister holding the gift and presenting it suddenly appeared in my mind, and her excited voice seemed to still be in my ears.
Lu Qiyun clenched his back teeth and suddenly quickened his pace. He pushed open the frosted glass door of the office, and the ornaments glowed coldly in the moonlight.
When he picked up the ornament, he also grabbed the encrypted USB drive.
"Fourth brother, where have you been? I'm about to faint from hunger!" Lu Shiman urged on the phone.
"I got it."
"Then please come back soon, Fourth Brother. You still have your beautiful sister and ordinary brothers at home who are crying out for help."
"soon."
On the way back, all the emergency exit indicators were off, and Lu Qiyun felt that the plastic shell of the emergency light switch on the wall was hot.
His fingertips touched the switch of the laboratory door. Just as the door opened a crack, the night wind suddenly wrapped in heat waves lifted the back of his collar.
"Manman, tell Big Brother..."
The sound of glass hitting the floor tiles and the loud buzzing sounded at the same time.
Lu Shiman's eardrums were pierced by the sharp sound waves: "Fourth brother, fourth brother!" The phone slipped from his trembling fingers, and the screen cracked on the marble floor.
Lu Jianheng rushed over and knocked over the mahogany side table with his knee, causing the vase to shatter on the ground with a crisp sound.
He didn't care about the burning sensation on his pants from being soaked in tea. He half-knelt and grabbed Lu Shiman's trembling wrist. "Is something wrong with Lao Si?"
"Explosion, explosion." Lu Shiman's throat tightened and he whimpered.
Lu Chixu heard the voice and opened the door: "I'm telling you two..." His voice stopped abruptly when his eyes fell on his sister's pale face.
Lu Jianheng immediately stood up: "Something happened to the fourth brother."
Lu Chixu's pupils suddenly constricted.
Lu Jianheng activated the entire villa's security system into the highest alert mode, and the buzzing sound of the alarm pierced the eardrum like a steel needle.
Lu Shiman saw the veins on his second brother's neck bulging and his lips opening and closing as if to say something, but all the sounds were drowned out by the sharp electronic sound.
Lu Yannan almost rushed out of the room. Seeing the three people, his panicked expression immediately disappeared and he walked over calmly: "What happened?"
"The lab exploded." Lu Chixu hung up the phone and ran downstairs: "I'll call a helicopter."
"Is the fourth brother still in the laboratory?" Lu Yannan frowned, his heart instantly rising.
"Third brother, have someone investigate tonight's situation and bring someone over by car. My sister, the second brother, and I will take the helicopter."
The helicopter blades cut through the moonlight. Lu Shiman gripped the edge of the window tightly, and his knuckles left bluish-white marks on the leather armrest.
Lu Shiman didn't know how he got off the plane. He staggered and looked at the flames enveloping the laboratory in front of him.
She heard her own rapid breathing echoing in the airtight cabin.
The moment the cabin door opened, a gust of hot air carrying a burning smell hit us in the face.
Lu Shiman stumbled and fell onto the tarmac, his knees scraping against the rough asphalt, but he felt no pain at all.
In the field of vision, the water columns from the fire hydrants evaporated into distorted mist in the heat wave.
From the thick smoke came the repeated cries of "Beware of secondary explosions", and Lu Chixu could clearly hear the throbbing sound of his own solar plexus blood vessels.
"Fourth brother!" Lu Shiman rushed towards the ruins like a madman, but was grabbed by Lu Yannan and pulled into his arms.
"Looking for fourth brother, big brother, I want to find fourth brother." Lu Shiman's face was pale and he struggled hard against his big brother's restraints.
At the edge of the cordon, medical staff carried a stretcher out of the rubble. Lu Qiyun's white shirt was soaked and turned dark red, but his left hand was still tightly protecting the bulge on his chest.
Lu Shiman broke free from Lu Yannan's arms and threw herself on him crying.
Lu Yannan's Adam's apple moved, and it felt like nails were stuck under his feet. He couldn't take a step forward, and his hands at his sides were shaking violently.
"Fourth brother, wake up. I don't want to look at the gifts anymore, fourth brother..." Lu Shiman's tears fell on Lu Qiyun's purple eyelids, mixed with blood and meandering into a light red stream.
She trembled as she tried to touch the cold wrist, but was stopped by Lu Chixu. His eyes were red and he held Lu Shiman in his arms.
Before the car stopped, Lu Jianheng opened the door and rushed out. His legs were weak, so he knelt on the ground and quickly stood up and ran towards the stretcher.
Lu Yannan walked closer, lowered his eyes and looked at his brother with his eyes closed on the stretcher, his fingertips twitching uncontrollably.
He bent down and wanted to say something, but saw the person on the stretcher suddenly open his eyelids.
Lu Qiyun's sluggish pupils focused on Lu Shiman's face, and a smile appeared on the corner of his blood-stained mouth: "...It's not broken..."
He held up the intact ornament, his eyelashes trembled due to the dust from the explosion, and the blood foam from his throat dyed the oxygen mask red.
She watched Lu Qiyun's hand brush across her cheek, and the remaining warmth was very much like the feeling of the setting sun.
When the hand fell limply, Lu Shiman's scream was stuck in his burning throat.
Lu Yannan pressed the back of her head against his chest, and the buttons of his cashmere coat touched her temples.
The ambulance's dome light was still spinning, cutting everyone's pale faces into flickering fragments.
