Chapter 275 I'll take you home!
"It's three centimeters taller."
Tu Chaoxi slowly estimated: "This is where we used to go."
He gestured to his shoulder with trembling hands, his voice also trembling slightly, but he tried hard to control it.
"We've arrived here."
During those six months, she was a short and small girl, but in the four years since she left, she has actually grown taller.
Not only have they grown taller and darker, but they've also lost some weight, yet they still maintain a lot of energy.
Tu Chaoxi should be grateful.
But the next second, when he met the girl's questioning gaze, his eyes darkened instantly, and his heart sank.
Just as he had guessed, his sister really didn't remember them.
Tu Chaoxi took a deep breath to suppress the panic that was rising within her... It's alright, Nan Ke is right, as long as she's here, that's all that matters.
Staying under his nose, he'll remember eventually!
Tu Chaoxi composed herself and said, "Come back with me first."
"Wait! Wait!!"
Tu Yao never expected to suddenly run into such a person, who said a few words she couldn't understand, and now wants to take her away.
She quickly grabbed him and said nervously, "...You...have you mistaken me for someone else? Or..."
She blinked and looked him over: "...Are you possessed?"
Although this area is adjacent to a film and television base, it is not fully developed. There are no streetlights at night, and it is not much different from a desolate wilderness.
People with a weaker constitution will be frightened. To the point of talking nonsense is the least of their worries; in more serious cases, it wouldn't be surprising if they became mentally impaired.
Tu Yao was both terrified and couldn't help but glance at him with pity.
Tu Chaoxi could tell what she was thinking just by looking into her eyes, and she was both annoyed and amused.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
As he spoke, he instinctively reached out to tap her on the forehead.
But Tu Yao was even faster; before he could strike, she instinctively covered her head, crying out, "Don't hit me! Don't hit me!"
Tu Chaoxi's hand froze in mid-air.
The air remained silent for a few seconds.
He turned his head away, swallowing the sobs that welled up again.
Then he turned around and patiently said, word by word, "I'm not possessed by any evil spirits, and I haven't mistaken you for someone else. You are my sister, and I am your brother."
Tu Yao was taken aback.
……elder brother?
Seeing the girl's sudden stunned expression, Tu Chaoxi's heart softened once again after four years.
"Come with me first, it's too dangerous here. I'll tell you everything on the way, okay?"
He was always the most irritable with his sister, but also the most patient with her.
Tu Yao stared at him blankly, as if hesitating.
A few seconds later, he nodded slightly.
Tu Chaoxi breathed a sigh of relief and took the girl's hand again to walk forward.
The night was pitch black, and he couldn't see the strange look that flashed in Tu Yao's eyes.
He had only taken two steps when his hand suddenly went limp. He was startled and looked up to see that Tu Yao had already run several meters away!
Tu Chaoxi: ? ? ?
Tu Chaoxi was dumbfounded.
Why are you running?!
He quickly chased after him, shouting, "Tu Xiaomao, you stop right there!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tu Yao ran faster and faster!
She didn't believe he wasn't possessed by a ghost; he either seemed stupid or was just trying to fool her!
She has no brother? Where did she get a brother?
Tu Chaoxi: "Stop!"
"Tu Xiaomao, you're still running! If you run again, I'll break your legs!"
Upon hearing this, Tu Yao felt a chill run down her spine, and her legs inexplicably went weak.
Oh no, when did she offend such a person? He looks respectable, but why does he act like a bandit?
Tu Yao was panicking, but that didn't stop her from being stubborn. She immediately shouted, "I'm running away, I'm running away!"
Seeing that she was about to disappear from sight, Tu Chaoxi said angrily, "I really am your brother!"
"I'm still your older sister!"
Tu Chaoxi: ...
Before Tu Chaoxi could even swallow her tears, she felt a tightness in her chest and a headache from anger.
Four years have passed, and not only have I grown taller, but my ability to annoy people has also improved significantly!
After all, it was his first time traveling this route, and he didn't know the road conditions as well as Tu Yao. In addition, it was dark, and he couldn't catch up in a short while.
Tu Yao turned left and right, taking seven or eight small roads, and successfully shook off the pursuer.
As she ran, she suddenly noticed something and cautiously scanned her surroundings.
...It's too quiet.
That's strange. It seems like all the people Zhao Yuanfeng sent have left.
Tu Yao observed carefully again and confirmed that they had withdrawn!
She breathed a sigh of relief, quickly ran a short distance, and retrieved the recording pen she had just hidden.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, she had to release the recording overnight. She had just recorded some content from the orphanage, and she didn't know if it could prove that the gangsters who came to cause trouble at the orphanage were related to Zhao Yuanfeng.
And that person just now... how did he find such a remote path?
He doesn't actually look like a bad person.
...Does he know the way?
Tu Yao hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned around.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached.
"Help!"
Tu Yao quickly turned around and saw a person running towards him in the dim light ahead.
Behind him, a minivan sped up like a sports car, drifting and stopping him on the spot!
Immediately afterwards, two tall and thin people got out of the car.
Nan Ke's gentle gaze swept lightly over the young man who was rolling and crawling on the ground.
"Third brother, get the person into the car."
Zhao Xing stared at the person in front of him in horror, waving his hands repeatedly: "No...it's not my fault! It was all my dad's doing! I'm just a scapegoat!!!"
He finally managed to escape when they weren't paying attention, but who knew these people weren't going to let him go!
But he really didn't do anything!
Nan Ke curved her lips into a smile and said softly, "Who can say for sure before we find out the truth?"
Despite the gentle tone, Zhao Xing could clearly detect a threat in it.
He was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
Lin Yue grabbed the person and lifted them up, while Nan Ke calmly opened the car door.
Just as I was about to go up, my gaze swept over the area casually.
In an instant, he froze on the spot.
Seeing that Nan Ke hadn't gotten into the car yet, Lin Yue leaned out and asked, "Second Brother?"
He followed his gaze, and the next second, the hand that was tightly gripping Zhao Xing's collar loosened.
A few meters away, Tu Yao stared at them with wide eyes, motionless.
Tu Yao: ...
I'm drenched in sweat.
She checked the almanac before going out today, and it clearly said that everything was auspicious and that she would turn bad luck into good. So why did she keep running into strange people and strange things...?
Tu Yao made a move to run away again, but suddenly, a streetlamp shone down, illuminating Zhao Xing's dejected face inside the car.
Tu Yao was taken aback.
etc……
"Zhao Xing?"
She subconsciously took two steps forward and tentatively looked at Nan Ke.
"The person you arrested is Zhao Xing?"
"...Do you have a grudge against him too?"
Suddenly, Tu Yao's eyes lit up: "What he just meant was that you arrested his father too?"
So those thugs that Zhao Yuanfeng hired all left?
Did she escape danger by accident?
Tu Yao exclaimed in surprise, "You must be plainclothes police officers!"
"You've found him!"
...
Since meeting Tu Yao again, Nan Ke hasn't had a dream for a long time.
Four years ago, Tu Yao disappeared, and the nightmare returned.
He tried to imagine, amidst his recurring nightmares, what it would be like to see his sister again.
He thought he would tear away this false, gentle facade and give her a warm hug with the most passionate force.
But when that moment came, looking at the girl's expectant gaze, Nan Ke froze completely.
He couldn't even properly respond to her questions.
Without needing a reply from the other side, Tu Yao had already sorted out her own logic, and she took a few more steps forward.
Through the car door, she tilted her head to glance at Zhao Xing, who was terrified, and then naturally looked at Lin Yue.
He was a young man in a suit, somewhat thin and dark-skinned, with a fierce look and red eyes.
Seeing that his grip loosened again, Tu Yao quickly whispered a reminder: "Grab him quickly, what if he runs away again?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a familiar shout came from the dark end of the road.
"Tu Xiaomao! Come out here!"
Tu Yao panicked. Oh no! Why isn't this person giving up? He's still looking for her!
Tu Yao looked at the road ahead, then at the back, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, opened the car door, and squeezed next to Lin Yue. "Someone is looking for me, officer, can I hide here?"
Lin Yue: ...
Lin Yue stiffly turned his head, met Nan Ke's gaze, and awkwardly said, "...Second Brother."
What happened?
Nan Ke closed his eyes.
Tu Yao had already fastened her seatbelt and casually asked, "Second brother? He's your second brother? What about your eldest brother?"
At the other end of the road, Tu Chaoxi was jogging over.
Lin Yue silently raised his hand, pointed ahead, and said in a muffled voice, "...Big Brother."
Tu Yao looked up and saw: ?
Upon seeing the car, Tu Chaoxi quickly quickened her pace and ran over.
Seeing Nan Ke still standing there dumbfounded, he patted him on the shoulder and said coldly, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and drive."
As he spoke, he opened the car door, “That little idiot Tu Xiaomao, he actually dared to run away! We’re going to the orphanage right now, I don’t believe I won’t be able to stay there for long…”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Tu Yao inside the car, gripping the seatbelt tightly and staring at him in shock.
Tu Chaoxi: ? ? ?
Tu Yao looked at him, then at Nan Ke, then at Lin Yue, her eyes widening little by little.
She realized what was happening: "...You're all in cahoots!"
"You're here to arrest me?"
Tu Chaoxi laughed in exasperation, looking at her vivid and clear face, and casually wiped away a little moisture from the corner of her eyes.
"Yes, we're taking you home!"
