Chapter 757 You Think Too Much of Me
In the imperial capital, Fuzhu Courtyard.
This is a heavily protected area, originally a royal palace.
The mansion is surrounded by several alleys. In the early years, these alleys were where the servants of the palace lived, but now a guard regiment is stationed there.
Further out is a circular forest, about one kilometer long, which blocks the inside.
Another three kilometers out is the road where people can pass freely, and there are various plainclothes officers scattered on the road, checking people from time to time.
With this old palace as the center, the area within a radius of five kilometers is strictly protected. It can be said that not even a fly can fly in.
Its security level is designed to be as high as possible, but any room for improvement will be used here.
Because it is the location of the think tank, Fuzhu Courtyard is located in a relatively central position and is the core protected by the core.
Li Hongyu lives here.
In the small courtyard shaded by grapevines, she supported her waist with her right hand and slowly sat down on the stone bench.
I am now six months pregnant and my belly has grown noticeably bigger, making it harder for me to move around.
Hanbao usually accompanies her, but today she asked Hanbao to go to another courtyard to deliver something to someone, as a way of getting him out of the way.
Because her father came.
Li Jiuxiang sat opposite, looking at his daughter's bulging belly with a smile.
"Hongyu, everything is fine at home. Don't worry. Just focus on taking care of your baby."
"I never thought you could use this trick. You're worthy of being my daughter. This is like nailing Lei Zhen to death, hehe."
Li Jiuxiang is the leader of the Hongmen Red Flag Gang in China.
He has a kind face, simple clothes, and wears a pair of thousand-layer soles. His every move gives people a sense of nobility and freedom.
"Dad, I liked Lei Zhen." Li Hongyu said softly, "I never thought of using the child to threaten him. This was an accident."
"Understand. As the saying goes, no one knows a daughter better than her father."
"With this child, Lei Zhen won't be able to touch you, let alone our Li family. Who are you? You are Li Hongyu from the national think tank, and you live in the middle of nowhere."
"Your emotions are affecting national affairs, and if you stay here, even if Lei Zhen wants to get rid of the child, he won't be able to do it! Hongyu, you are our family's greatest contributor, hahahaha..."
Li Jiuxiang cannot see his daughter on weekdays because he has to apply, go through the procedures, and then pass six security checks before he can come in.
And there are restrictions on visiting hours.
He had just found out that his daughter was pregnant, and it was Lei Zhen's child. He couldn't describe the joy in his heart.
"Dad, can you please let go of your hatred?" Li Hongyu pleaded, "This child will definitely become a bond to ease the tension. I don't want..."
"Red Fish, you don't understand the ways of the world at all."
"I was responsible for his mother's death. Now Lei Zhen has gone mad in his quest for revenge. Yu Hongxing's entire family was killed, and he was even cut into pieces by Ling Chi.
"His next target is me, your father and mother, your brothers and sisters, and so many relatives. Do you want to see us all die under his butcher knife?"
Facing her father's slightly ferocious face, Li Hongyu lowered her head and shed tears silently, with her hands gently placed on her bulging belly.
"Hongyu, you don't understand what's going on here. Just give birth to the baby safely." Li Jiuxiang continued, "Don't worry about what's going on outside. When the baby is born, the surname will be Li, and it will belong to our family."
Seeing his daughter crying, he slowed down his tone and began to comfort her.
"My daughter, ask your mother to come over soon and make your favorite sweet and sour fish. Your mother misses you every day and often sits by your bed and cries in the middle of the night."
"Alas, we are proud to have raised a daughter like you, but who could possibly know the pain that went into it? We haven't seen you for years, and when we miss you, we can only hold your childhood photos and look at them..."
While comforting her, she also played the emotional card. Even Li Jiuxiang's eyes turned red and he reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Stop talking." Li Hongyu raised her head and cried, "I may not understand the ways of the world, but I'm not stupid! From childhood to adulthood, the place that has made me feel the warmest is not my home, but the small courtyard in Chinatown, the foggy city! I won't be scolded if I break a bowl there, and they're even afraid that I'll cut my fingers..."
She tried to integrate into life in the courtyard of Chinatown. Although she did something naive like sticking yellow talismans, she was not stupid, she just had a different way of thinking.
No matter how ignorant a person is of the ways of the world, there will always be a time when he or she will come to his or her senses, right?
Her family treated her as capital, using it for crazy expansion, and she was just a card in her parents' hands.
"Dad, can you please stop targeting the children? I beg you, please let us go, okay?"
"Hatred and grudges are your business. Please don't impose it on me and my child, okay? This is my child, mine!"
Li Hongyu's face was covered with tears, and she held her belly tightly with both hands, fearing that someone would snatch her child away.
This is maternal love. When she can feel the child swimming in her belly like a little fish, maternal love overflows and cannot be let go.
Protecting her children is her instinct now.
"Hongyu, this child is linked to the lives of hundreds of people in our family." Li Jiuxiang said angrily, "You are my daughter, born after your mother carried her for ten months. Do you want to force your parents to death?"
Faced with her father's anger, Li Hongyu stood up, protecting her lower abdomen and kept backing away, her eyes filled with sadness.
"Hongyu, Daddy is wrong. I shouldn't be angry with you." Li Jiuxiang took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said softly, "Lei Zhen wants to kill this child, but Mom and Dad want to protect this child because he is our grandson. Blood is thicker than water."
Li Hongyu shook her head and continued to retreat.
She didn't believe it because she was traumatized at home, until she showed her extraordinary talent, which was then used as an asset.
"Bang!"
Li Jiuxiang slammed the table and shouted angrily.
"Stand right there!"
"You can't tell good from bad. I raised you for nothing. Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death!"
Seeing that his control over his daughter was about to slip away, he began to make threats.
This method has always worked because Li Jiuxiang knows very well that his daughter's fear of him is deeply ingrained in her bones since childhood.
Li Hongyu's lack of worldly wisdom further increased the grip of this fear.
This is often the case. The shadow of childhood fear often accompanies one's life and is almost impossible to eliminate.
"His name is Cannian, to commemorate the first year I spent without having to think about anything, without getting scolded for breaking a bowl, and with the freedom to be silly and do all the stupid things I wanted every day."
"Lei Zhen is a good person, not as bad as you say; Sister Fengyi is very good, she always comforts me in a gentle voice no matter what I do wrong; Hanbao is very well behaved, the kitten is very cute, and Xiaohuzi is a little silly..."
Not being able to choose when to be born is probably Li Hongyu’s greatest sorrow after she became enlightened.
"I never put myself in the game. You guys think too much of me. I told Tang Yingwu that I put myself in the game to stabilize her and pave the way for Lei Zhen."
Li Hongyu shook her head and stepped back, saying everything she wanted to say.
"I'm not a demon of great wisdom. I just like doing what I like. If I like deduction, I deduce; if I like thunder, I like it."
"I want to help Lei Zhen, and I want to help you too..."
"He's going to Hunter School, and from the moment he enters the school, he's going to carry out undercover operations to infiltrate the West."
"I will do my best to help him. As long as I help him enough, he might let go of his hatred. You don't have to worry about it, uh..."
Is Li Hongyu complicated? Complex!
Because deduction itself is extremely complex and does not allow simple thinking.
Is Li Hongyu simple? Easy!
Deduction is her job, and she herself is a simple girl to the extreme.
If she likes something, she likes it; if she doesn’t like something, she doesn’t like it. If she really doesn’t like Lei Zhen, she would definitely reject him, but she likes him!
"How could I have given birth to such a naive daughter like you?" Li Jiuxiang said with a fierce look in his eyes, "If you dare to take another step back, I will abort this bastard in your belly!"
Li Hongyu was frightened. She held her stomach tightly with both hands and stood there trembling, her eyes full of fear, and scenes from her childhood emerged in her mind.
Li Jiuxiang smiled, feeling very surprised that his daughter, who had been dull and stupid in childhood, had suddenly become smart and joined the think tank.
Fortunately, there were a lot of beatings and scoldings at that time, otherwise I really couldn’t control it.
But he overlooked one thing - motherhood!
"Help!"
Li Hongyu suddenly shouted, dragging her weak legs and retreating desperately.
An accident happened, and the whole person fell backwards to the ground...
