Chapter 232 Some Preludes
A few minutes later, the helicopter slowly ascended.
Tu Chaoxi's face was extremely ugly the whole time. She hadn't scolded him enough yesterday, so she simply started cursing at Lin Yue. Lin Yue didn't dare to move the whole time.
They quickly and successfully entered a sea area.
As her gaze swept downwards, all she saw was a sea of blue. Tu Chaoxi's expression stiffened slightly, and she seemed to be thinking of something, her face turning pale.
This is his first visit to the port city in two years.
Over the years, he has had opportunities to come here, but he has resolutely refused all of them, whether for commercial performances or advertising shoots.
There is no other reason.
...He was always afraid of this ocean.
Just by glancing down slightly, Tu Chaoxi couldn't help but recall that scene from two years ago.
It was right there at his feet, the sea, that Tu Yao pushed him hard, and the waves instantly engulfed him.
Even now, looking down from above, Tu Chaoxi can still feel the suffocation she felt back then.
"Big brother?"
Lin Yue, unusually perceptive, asked, "What's wrong?"
Tu Chaoxi snapped back to reality, clenched her fists, and found them covered in cold sweat.
"……fine."
It's all in the past now.
"I was just thinking about how to deal with Tu Xiaomao later!"
Lin Yue: ...
...
Achoo!
At the port's docking station, Tu Yao squatted on the ground and suddenly sneezed.
Beside her, Xu Chi frowned, squatted down, and tightened her loose scarf again.
"Go wait in the car."
Tu Yao sniffed and shook her head: "It's not a cold, it's my older brother scolding me."
Lin Yue told her last night that her older brother would be coming today, but he didn't say the exact time.
Tu Yao could easily guess that the sooner the better, so she squatted by the sea early in the morning.
"Xiaochi, you go to the car first, I..."
Halfway through her sentence, Tu Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately stood up. "Here he comes! Xiao Chi! My brother is here!"
Xu Chi followed the line of sight and saw a tiny black dot on the horizon, almost invisible to the naked eye, slowly moving toward them.
But Tu Yao instantly realized that it was Tu Chaoxi's helicopter.
Across the vast sea, Tu Yao waved vigorously: "Brother!!"
Inside the cabin, Tu Chaoxi held her sweaty, sticky palms, her brows furrowed unconsciously.
The next second, the hem of her clothes was tugged hard.
Lin Yue's usually sullen tone suddenly brightened: "Brother, it's Tu Xiaomao!"
Tu Chaoxi subconsciously looked over.
Even though they were still quite a distance apart, they could clearly see a girl in a bright yellow cotton coat waving vigorously at them from the shore.
In the dark blue expanse, it was as if a ray of warm yellow sunlight had been injected.
Tu Chaoxi paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense the whole way, finally settled down.
The suffocating feeling that had been stuck in my chest just moments before vanished completely.
A few minutes later, the helicopter came to a stop.
"Brother! Little brother!"
Tu Yao had already seen the figure clearly and ran over while waving.
As she ran closer and closer, Tu Chaoxi immediately stopped laughing.
Until the girl ran and jumped into his arms, looking up at him excitedly.
"elder brother!"
Tu Chaoxi finally couldn't help but subtly curve the corners of her mouth, before quickly regaining her serious expression.
Tu Yao quickly scanned the room: "Brother, where's Second Brother?"
"Why are you looking for your second brother? You're just hoping he'll protect you, aren't you!"
Tu Yao chuckled: "No, no..."
"You'd be a fool to believe that."
Tu Chaoxi said irritably, "Your second brother has something to do, he'll be here in a couple of days."
Tu Yao blinked and nodded: "Oh..."
Tu Chaoxi couldn't bear to look at his blank expression.
"Stand still, let me see."
Tu Chaoxi examined her from head to toe, “…You’ve lost a bit of weight and gotten a bit darker. Why is your nose so red? Do you have a cold?”
Tu Yao didn't speak, she just chuckled.
She and her brothers hadn't seen each other for more than half a month.
Tu Chaoxi sighed and ruffled her hair: "Silly girl, let's go."
After saying that, he was about to drag the person away.
Tu Yao suddenly remembered something and quickly grabbed him, "Oh right, brother!"
“Sangsang’s house burned down and is uninhabitable, but Xiaochi said I can stay at his house.”
"Stay at his house?!"
Tu Chaoxi turned around immediately and finally noticed that there was another person standing next to her.
Dressed casually in light-colored clothes, she stood at a distance from Tu Xiaomao, not too close and not too far. As if noticing his gaze, she finally decided to take her eyes off Tu Xiaomao.
She smiled slightly at him and said slowly, "Teacher Tu, it's been a long time."
Tu Chaoxi: ...
Tu Chaoxi immediately pulled the person behind her, gritting her teeth and whispering, "Tu Xiaomao, don't tell me you've already moved in?!"
Tu Yao was taken aback and subconsciously shook her head twice.
"……No."
She glanced at Xu Chi and whispered, "I've been waiting for you."
Tu Chaoxi breathed a small sigh of relief, "Good, good timing!"
"Come with me, I've booked a hotel. You'll stay with me for the next few days, and we'll leave once we've transferred our household registration!"
Tu Yao tentatively glanced at Tu Chaoxi's tense expression. In just half a month, she had already stabbed her brother in the heart several times. If she stabbed him again, it seemed like her brother would be about to shatter.
She nodded immediately: "Oh."
"Let's go quickly."
Tu Chaoxi swiftly grabbed her and walked straight ahead at an astonishing speed.
He caught a glimpse of the sea out of the corner of his eye, then quickly looked away and firmly grasped Tu Yao's hand.
Xu Chi and Lin Yue remained in the same spot.
Lin Yue scratched his head: "Sorry, Brother Chi, I don't know why, but I've been in a bad mood ever since I got on the helicopter."
Xu Chi smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the boundless sea. "It's alright, let's go."
He took the suitcase from Lin Yue's hand.
Lin Yue felt even more embarrassed.
"Brother Chi, this is Second Brother's luggage, let me take it."
Xu Chi paused slightly, his eyes flashing: "Nan Ke's luggage?"
The luggage has been delivered, but the person hasn't arrived.
"Was it something that came up at the last minute?"
Lin Yue thought for a moment. His second brother hadn't given him any instructions before he left, so he could say so.
So he blurted out, "Yes, Jiang Peng's test results are in, and Second Brother and Uncle Liqing went to the hospital."
Xu Chi stopped abruptly.
After a long pause, he lowered his eyes and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
...
At Yanjing Mental Hospital, Jiang Liqing said as he walked, "The assessment report hasn't been delivered to the police yet, and Jiang Peng is still in this hospital."
"The medical team from the Jiang family conducted the assessment for Jiang Peng, and they did it a total of five times."
In other words, the result will absolutely not be wrong.
"So all of Jiang Peng's previous nonsense was a lie, and now we can smoothly move forward with the criminal proceedings."
Jiang Liqing hesitated, "Young Master Nan Ke, you..."
Since the outcome was favorable to them, he was somewhat puzzled as to why Nan Ke still needed to make this trip.
Nan Ke remained calm. Indeed, the outcome would not be wrong, and it would benefit the current situation.
He walked down the long corridor and stopped at the door. He lightly tapped the handle with his knuckles, his eyes sharpening in an instant.
But what if Jiang Peng wasn't lying?
