Chapter 013 The Old House

During the day, Lu Wanting was in a luxurious and exquisite villa. When her grandma told her that this was her new home, she felt that everything that happened was as incredible as Cinderella wearing a crystal slipper.

She stared at the tip of her shoe. Xiao Zi dragged her to buy this pair of nude high-heeled shoes when the mall was promoting them. Later, she accidentally scratched a small fingernail-sized scratch on the tip of the shoe. There was her bag, with a baggy shoulder strap that she had stitched herself.

Even with all this frugality, the pressures of living in the big city weighed her down, without mercy.She is a down-to-earth girl who never fantasizes about things that are beyond reach, and when they actually appear in front of her eyes, what she feels most strongly is that she is out of tune with her surroundings.

She believed that it was God's blessing, and she never thought that if it weren't for her kind heart, there would be no scene of eating fish with grandma, nor would there be a scene of chatting with grandma in the exquisitely decorated living room.

Grandma's palm was warm, covering the back of her hand, giving her the feeling her grandma once gave her.

At noon, she made fish for grandma, which tasted the same as that day, and grandma kept praising Chen Bowen for her good craftsmanship.

After eating, Chen Bowen suggested that their family has an old two-storey house in the west of the city, and everyone can live there temporarily. Grandma has been in poor health in recent years, and it is far away from the urban area, and the air quality is slightly better. , you can often accompany grandma and take good care of her.

He knew in his heart that this had always been Grandma's wish, so Grandma would definitely not object.

Just like that, he asked grandma to pack her luggage briefly, and then drove Lu Wanting back to her rental house to pack things.

That old house was bought by grandma and the others when they first started their business. After the family business grew, they moved to this high-end community.The Chen family brothers would be taken to play by grandma for a few days when they were young, and they never set foot on this old building after that, but grandma specifically ordered that they must hire someone to clean and look after the house, maybe one day she would be tired , I just want to go back and live.

On the way to the rental house, Chen Bowen always had a faint feeling that there were eyes staring at him in the dark. He also felt this way when he entered and left the community these two days. He didn't take it seriously at first, but after he learned that Chen Zhongwu was kidnapped, this feeling became more and more serious. strong.

He hoped that he was too sensitive. If he was really being followed by the kidnappers, it was because the kidnappers were worried about them, secretly monitoring them, and afraid that they would call the police.

Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, in this matter, he told himself that he must pay attention to the movement around him, and any unusual feeling of his would not be groundless.

Lu Wanting wrung her fingers and thought about what to bring when she arrived at the rental house, what to leave for Xiao Zi, and what to buy again. The more she talked, the more excited she became, as if she was in the mood of arranging a new home.

Chen Bowen poured cold water on her and told her that the old house was left to them by the deceased grandpa, and grandma kept it there untouched because of her reluctance to give up, so she only needed to bring clothes, and everything inside All furniture and daily necessities are available.

He can't reveal too much to her about other things about the Chen family, and even the fact that her husband is the CEO of the Chen company has to be kept secret, because the Chen company is run by the two brothers of the Chen family. If she knew about things, things would only get worse and worse.

In fact, he suggested that the whole family move to the old house for another reason, not just to allow Lu Wanting to temporarily isolate herself from the outside world and hinder her sources of information.

Reassuring grandma is also one of the reasons. The grandparents and grandchildren live in harmony and enjoy themselves every day. Grandma will gradually forget about Chen Zhongwu. You have to go to the company in person and you have plenty of time to prepare.

The last and most important reason is that he can easily find a reason not to go home, and then stay alone in the villa in the suburbs, calm down and think about Chen Zhongwu's affairs, and then quietly start the rescue operation.

For now, that's all he can do. He has no idea where his next step should be. Faced with such a problem that he doesn't even have a choice, he can only take one step at a time.

Under Lu Wanting's guidance, he drove the car slowly into an alley, found a parking space and parked it firmly.

"You wait for me here, I'll be back soon." She jumped out of the car and briskly turned into an inconspicuous door next to her.

She and Xiao Zi rented a small two-bedroom apartment here in March last year. She remembered that they stayed up all night to paste the floral wallpaper on the walls.Xiao Zi, who is stationed at the bar, has already turned day and night upside down. At this time, she should have eaten lunch and taken a nap to recharge her batteries for the night battle.

Lu Wanting opened the door lightly and went in, dragged out her suitcase, which was full of clothes, cosmetics, and books.There was a red dress in the box that Xiao Zi liked very much, so she took it out again and put it beside the sleeping Xiao Zi's pillow.

She was finally about to get rid of the hard life of living in a rental house, and Xiaozi still had to continue to run around for a living. Her heart softened, and she left a message on the sticky note, "I'm leaving, I'll find you when I settle down," and pressed it on the under the skirt.

On the dining table, the expensive chicken cup still contained pickles, she picked it up carefully, and poured the pickles into the lunch box that Xiao Zi put on the dining table at noon.I wanted to wash it, but I was afraid that Chen Bowen would wait too long downstairs, so I wrapped it carefully with a flannel cloth and put it in my bag.

Before going out, she turned around and glanced back at the room where she had stayed for more than a year before closing the door reluctantly and leaving.

When the three of them arrived at the old house in the west of the city, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and they could have arrived half an hour earlier. On the way, Lu Wanting was worried that Chen Bowen would be late for work, and his boss would deduct his wages, so she insisted on taking a taxi with her grandmother. In the past, he coped with it with a simple "it doesn't matter", and grandma just laughed and said nothing.

"I met the construction team on the road today, so I spared the long journey." After the car stopped in front of the old house, he explained, but the real reason was to get rid of the secret surveillance.

"I mean, it didn't feel so far away before." Grandma got out of the car with Lu Wanting's support.

She ignored his explanation, although she kept chatting with her grandma in the car, and the two chatted happily, but she was not stupid enough to sit in the car and not look out, letting herself be led to turn left and right Turning around, is there any construction team on this road? It is clear that he deliberately took a long way.

She just took this matter as thinking too much, and didn't point him out.Grandma pulled her into the rusty old gate, while she excitedly pulled Chen Bowen, who was carrying luggage behind her, as if she was the hostess of the house.

After everything was settled, Chen Bowen drove to the company again.When there were still 10 minutes to drive, the feeling of being watched reappeared. He made a bold decision, and immediately called Xiao Li, asking him what the name of his uncle who worked in the Public Security Bureau was, and then said Turn at an intersection and drive the car to the police station in the opposite direction from the company.

He walked into the gate of the police station and asked the police officer standing guard if Sergeant Li was there, and he went in after getting an affirmative answer.

After finding Sergeant Li, he took out a cigarette and handed it to him. Sergeant Li refused to accept it if he didn’t know. Li Xiao brought it here.Sergeant Li smoked in doubt, and he left the police station after the two exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Not long after he came out, he received a text message from an unfamiliar number: "Don't play tricks with me, I know more than you think, your brother's life is in my hands."

Sure enough, they were followed, but fortunately, they took a long detour on the way to the old house to get rid of them.He was sweating for such a risky behavior, but he felt that he had finally been recruited.

When he called back, the other party was still unable to connect.He began to worry a little, did he really get grandma and Lu Wanting out of the sight of the kidnappers safely?

Chen Bowen didn't go home until after ten o'clock in the evening. Instead of driving, he took a taxi back.

On the first night, the young couple, who had only obtained a marriage certificate but had not yet been officially married, decided to sleep in a separate room because they were concerned about the elderly at home, but as soon as he came back, he went into the study. It was on, and the fluorescent light from the computer screen hit Chen Bowen's haggard and thin face, and the frames of the gold-rimmed glasses shone with a cold light.

Lu Wanting tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep. She lay on the soft double bed with her arms open. The place beside her was cold and cold. She buried her head in the pillow and sniffed it. It was a fresh and unfamiliar smell.

There was a clear sound of insects outside the window, there was no moonlight, and the thick milky white curtains blocked the thick darkness outside.She couldn't help curling up, surrounded by a faint loneliness. Although her body left her simple and cheap hut, her heart seemed to remain there.

She got up and went downstairs to drink water. When she passed by the study, she saw that there was a light on inside. She probed in and saw him staring at the computer screen with a solemn expression.

"It's hard work. You must be late for work in the afternoon. Your boss will punish you for working overtime." She suddenly appeared behind him, muttering softly.

"What are you doing?" He was taken aback, and quickly clicked the red close button in the upper right corner of the browser. Before she could see the content clearly, there was only a monotonous desktop wallpaper left.

"Forget it if you don't show it, I don't care about it." She left the study pretending to be angry.But not long after leaving, Chen Bowen heard a woman's scream outside.
