Lou Chong couldn't understand what his boss was doing!
He thought his boss had gone out to take care of something important, but who would have thought that he was having breakfast at a roadside stall with Dr. He and the child so early in the morning? What does that mean?
His family has really gone mad; they're treating Dr. He and the child like their own family.
Still blinded by lust, he fell in love with Dr. He at first sight, so he simply pretended to be stupid and tricked the beautiful girl into his hands first.
Lou Chong frowned deeply, unwilling to believe that his boss could have such a beastly side!
However, Qin Jian used to come here every day, which might be because he had some feelings for Doctor He. But he had just left when his boss intercepted him. When Qin Jian comes back, won't the brothers turn against each other?
In that brief moment, Lou Chong had already imagined a dramatic scene in his mind: brothers turning against each other over a woman.
"What are you standing there for? Come and have something to eat."
Lu Baichuan knew that the others must not have rested either, and probably hadn't eaten anything since yesterday, so he invited them to sit down and asked the owner to bring each of them a bowl of hot dumplings.
The group of people sat down in a daze. When they saw He Jiuniang, they were too embarrassed to speak because they were full of gossip. They could only awkwardly say, "Good morning, Doctor He!"
Before He Jiuniang could react, Lu Baichuan said with displeasure, "Why are you calling me Doctor He? From now on, call me sister-in-law!"
Lou Chong: !!!
Others: ? ? ?
He Jiuniang: ...I mean, do we really have to be this showy?
The others were confused, but Lou Chong was filled with the thought: He's gone mad! The boss is really terminally ill and has forcibly taken innocent women!
Lou Chong ignored Lu Baichuan and said apologetically to He Jiuniang, "Dr. He, I'm so sorry, please don't hold it against my husband. He suffered some shock recently, and he's acting a little strange..."
As he spoke, he pointed to his head, indicating that Lu Baichuan was mentally unstable.
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Baichuan slapped him on the back of the head and yelled, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
The dog blinked and looked at Lou Chong, asking, "Uncle, are you saying my dad is sick?"
Father? ??
Lou Chong and the other guards couldn't sit still any longer. They stared with their big, gossipy eyes, scanning the family of three back and forth.
Everyone knew their leader was abnormal. These were all trusted confidants who had come from Nantai and knew something about Lu Baichuan's affairs.
But who would have thought that Dr. He's son would also start acting strangely? Is this the kind of person who can just call anyone "father"?
Or was it that Dr. He deliberately had the child act out a scene to treat his boss?
Shocked, Lou Chong saw Lu Baichuan holding the dog in his arms and coaxing him with a smile, "Don't worry, Daddy isn't sick, it's that uncle who's sick."
Lou Chong: ...
"Boss, please don't do this, really, I'm scared..."
He reached out and tugged at Lu Baichuan's sleeve, his eyes filled with worry and grievance, afraid that Lu Baichuan might have lost his mind due to excessive grief.
"roll!"
Lu Baichuan chuckled and scolded him, then solemnly introduced them to his brothers: "Don't overthink it, these really are my wife and son!"
What?!
Everyone looked at He Jiuniang with blank expressions, and He Jiuniang nodded expressionlessly.
He looked at the dog with a blank expression, and the dog nodded happily, hugging Lu Baichuan's neck and repeating the sentence he had told many people this morning: "My daddy is back!"
"Really?"
He turned his head with difficulty to look at Lu Baichuan. Lu Baichuan hummed in response, then pointed to He Jiuniang and explained, "Her maiden name is Jiuniang."
Lou Chong had also seen the list of Lu family members who had died, and he roughly knew the names of the Lu family members.
As for He Jiu Niang's name, people only say that her surname is He, and she is generally called Doctor He or Lady He. Qin Jian only calls her Little Sister-in-law, so naturally he doesn't know what her real name is.
"The Changzhou County government said... Waaah, what a coincidence! Boss, you've finally gotten your happy ending after all your hardships!"
Halfway through his sentence, Lou Chong, a big man, suddenly had tears in his eyes. He had watched his boss search for his family with great difficulty, experiencing a lot of despair and even falling seriously ill, almost losing his life. After going around in circles, his family was actually waiting for him in Jingzhou!
Seeing this, the shop owner hurriedly said to the passersby, "Guests, have a bowl of dumplings! Our dumplings have thin wrappers and generous fillings; even the official over there was moved to tears!"
Everyone: ...
Lou Chong was, after all, one of his trusted confidants, and Lu Baichuan didn't want him to be laughed at, so he smiled and said, "Alright, eat quickly. We still have things to do after you finish eating. How's the interrogation of the people we arrested last night going?"
Getting down to business, Lou Chong wiped away his tears, stuffed a dumpling into his mouth and swallowed it before answering, "It's not simple. Several of them were tortured to death but couldn't confess. If we hadn't prepared a backup plan, they probably would have all bitten their tongues and committed suicide."
"They seem to be some assassins. It's alright, let's keep them safe for now. We'll wait for Qin Jian to come back and ask him what's going on in the capital before making a decision. I have a feeling that Qin Jian's trip to the capital this time is related to this matter."
Lu Baichuan didn't seem to be in a hurry, so He Jiuniang swallowed back the words that she could help.
"Okay, but most of the children were taken home last night. We haven't been able to contact the families of the remaining few. There's also a little girl who absolutely refuses to go home. I've had someone look after her for now, and we'll deal with her once we get in touch with her family."
“Yes,” Lu Baichuan nodded, “I’ll go check on things in the cell later.”
After finishing the dumplings, Lou Chong and his men left first, while Lu Baichuan bought three more servings of dumplings to take with him. He also bought some food along the way and then sent his wife and son back to the clinic.
Lu Laoda had just brought some clothes from the inn for the old couple to change into. He was about to go out to buy some food when the family of three returned, bringing them food as well.
The dog ran up to its grandparents and boasted again, "Grandpa and Grandma, my daddy's back!"
Holding her grandson, Mrs. Sun smiled from ear to ear: "Yes, your father is back. Our family is finally reunited."
Lu Baichuan opened the food box, laid out all the food he had bought on the table, and said, "Father, Mother, Big Brother, have something to eat."
"Alright! Now that my third brother is back, I'd like to go home first and tell my family that my parents and Gou'er will stay in the prefectural city for a few more days. I'll have Leizi ask the teacher for leave from the school. You can all stay here without worry."
While eating, Boss Lu explained his plan.
Lu Baichuan was a little confused: "The dog went to school?"
My son should have just turned three this year, right? Is he already in school at such a young age?
He looked down at his son, who was snuggling in his mother's arms, and felt that he had been gone for more than ten years, not three or four.
