Bite Your Fingertips

Things happened faster than Chu Yu imagined.

Lu Shaochu was taken away to assist in the investigation, and more than a week later, something happened to Fang's family.

A reporter photographed a police car parked at the gate of Fang Heng Group, which is controlled by Fang.

As soon as the news came out, rumors spread everywhere.

Some say that senior executives of the Fangheng Group were taken away for investigation on suspicion of taking advantage of their positions for personal gain.Some said that the group was suspected of tax evasion-tax evasion.Others said that it was Fang Weiyun's murder case, and the participants and others were arrested together this time.

However, Fang's public relations department did not move at all.

Perhaps the incident was too sudden and there was no time to react.It is also possible that the Fang family is about to change hands, and everyone is waiting and watching.

The English teacher was teaching grammar. In the afternoon class, there were cicadas singing outside the window. Few of them could hold on. Most of them were dozing off, especially in the back row of the classroom, which had already fallen asleep.

Chu Yu put his phone under the pages of the book and searched for relevant news.But after reading all the content reported by the major media, I didn't see the scene picture of Fang Weishan being taken away.There are only rumors that Fang Weishan has been controlled.

Just as Chu Yu was about to stuff his phone into the belly of the table, the news client suddenly pushed out a message.

Seeing that line of words clearly, Chu Yu's pupils shrank, and he didn't hold it, and the phone fell to the ground with a "click" in the blink of an eye.Fortunately, the English teacher was playing the text to read aloud, and the landing sound was not noticed.

Chu Yu picked up his phone, clicked on the news, and found that he was not dazzled.

What was written in the news was indeed that Lu Zhaohe was seriously ill and had been admitted to the hospital, and the stock prices of Lu's group were volatile.

But when he searched again, he found that the Lu's News Department had refuted the rumors, saying that Lu Zhaohe was in good health and had not been admitted to the hospital. The previous news was just a catch-up by the media to attract attention.

Chu Yu handed the phone to Lu Shi.

The two looked at each other, and they both guessed that the fact that Lu Zhaohe was hospitalized was [-]% true.Now that the news has leaked, Lu's public relations dispelling the rumors is very timely. It is obvious that there is a plan, mainly to stabilize the stock price and internal and external, and hide the truth.

I just don't know what this "serious illness" is.

The English teacher always stepped on the spot after class very accurately, and the bell rang as soon as the homework was assigned.

Lao Ye came in from the back door, and greeted the English teacher from a distance across the rows of desks.Then walk to the last row and ask Lu Shi to go to the office.

After taking two steps outside, Lao Ye turned around and said to Chu Yu, "Student Chu Yu should follow along."

Seeing Lu Shi and Chu Yu being called away by Lao Ye together, Brother Meng rushed to Zhang Yueshan and Li Hua's desks in two or three steps, yelling anxiously, "Brothers! I have a bad feeling! Could it be Lu Shen?" Lao Ye found out about the puppy love with the school belle?"

Li Hua answered, "I don't think it's possible for Lao Ye to be so sharp."

"That's right, it's very reasonable! After all, if Xiaohua hadn't told me herself, I might not have discovered it until now."

Brother Meng touched his chin and calmed down, "Anyway, if it is really exposed, I will testify that Lu Shen and Xiaohua are really just a sustainable friendship at the same table!"

After Zhang Yueshan listened to it, he asked Li Hua, "What is the idiom called?"

Li Hua: "There is no 300 taels of silver here, or are you trying to cover it up?"

Brother Meng covered his mouth and said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll shut up, I'll be silent."

In the office, Lao Ye's Pang Hai Hai wolfberry tea was replaced with honeysuckle tea.

After sitting on the office chair, Lao Ye looked at Lu Shi, then at Chu Yu, and finally turned his gaze back to Lu Shi, "Lu Shi, I asked you to come to the office because I have a message to tell you."

Lu Shi stood in front of the desk, tall and straight, with sparse eyebrows.The sun outside the window was dazzlingly bright, and it might be a bit hot. He folded his sleeves at his elbows casually, exposing his cold white and thin forearms.

He has always respected his teacher, "Teacher, tell me."

Lao Ye thought about his words, and while paying attention to Lu Shi's expression, he said, "Your grandfather is seriously ill and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital. Your family has contacted the school and asked for leave for you. I hope you can go back as soon as possible."

It's not that Lao Ye has never dealt with this kind of thing. He has been a head teacher for many years, but every time he encounters such a situation, it is always difficult for him to speak out in front of the students.

He was really afraid of students crying in front of him.

Lu Shi asked, "What's wrong with my grandfather?"

Seeing that Lu Shi's expression and tone were still stable, Lao Ye calmed down and replied, "It's a stroke." After speaking, he quickly added, "Although a stroke is a disease, it is sudden and often causes hemiplegia and the like. It will be difficult for the elderly to move around in the future, but as long as they are treated properly, the elderly will definitely not be in danger!"

Chu Yu glanced at the expression on Lu Shi's face, opened his mouth quickly, and directed Lao Ye's gaze to himself, "Teacher, I don't worry about Lu Shi being alone, can I accompany him?"

"Of course!" Lao Ye also had the same idea, so he called Chu Yu to the office together.

He reassured, "You have a good relationship. The teacher also approved Chu Yu's leave. It's better to have someone with you than to be alone."

Chu Yu nodded, "Thank you teacher!"

I bought the nearest flight, went back to the dormitory to pack up my things, and took a taxi from school to the airport.

When the two landed in City A, it was already dark.

Chu Yu wore a white coat and light-colored jeans, and his vision was very refreshing.He walked beside Lu Shi, "If Lao Ye doesn't criticize my leave, I'll go over the wall and come with you. Who knows if Fang Weishan told that old man that Lu Shaochu's matter is behind your handwriting."

Thinking about it this way, Chu Yu couldn't help imagining a lot of dirty things from wealthy families, and worried, "Lu Shi, will that old man do some tricks?"

Night Breeze had long since lost the coolness, but Lu Shi was worried. He first touched Chu Yu's hand to make sure that he was not cold, and then replied, "No. I am the only one left in the Lu family now."

"Too."

Chu Yu has seen many older generations like Lu Zhaohe, who value family reputation and inheritance more than anything else.It is impossible for Lu Shaochu to be released, so Lu Shi is the only heir of the Lu family.

In the parking lot, a black Maybach 62s is parked quietly.Seeing Lu Shi approaching, the driver in uniform and white gloves got out of the car, quickly opened the rear door, bowed his head respectfully.

The two get in the car.

The driver looked straight ahead, did not dare to look back, and reported the situation in a low voice, "Master, the old man is currently living in the Nursing Care Hospital. He has temporarily escaped danger and regained consciousness. I dare not announce the relevant information to the public. Everyone is waiting for you to come back. "

Lu Shi held Chu Yu's finger, and his gaze fell on the receding neon lights outside the window.

"Tell me the details."

His syllables were short and concise, and he couldn't hear the emotion, but there was an inviolable meaning in it.

The driver replied cautiously, "After Mr.'s accident, the old man kept the news and did not disclose it. He has been visiting and dredging up in many ways, trying to rescue Mr., but it has not been smooth and there is no clue. At the same time, after investigation, it was found that Mr. was taken away It was Fang Weishan's handwriting to assist in the investigation of this matter, and all the relevant evidence that caused the accident to Mr. Fang flowed out of Fang Weishan's hands.

The old man's tricks are thunderous, but the opponent is slightly kind.Fang Weishan reacted very quickly, as soon as he heard the news, he came to find the old man, and the two had a fierce dispute.

The old man was not prepared to let Fang Weishan go from the very beginning, so Fang Weishan was taken away by the police while in the house.You know, the old man has always had high blood pressure, I don't know what Fang Weishan said at that time, the old man was emotionally stimulated, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and suffered a stroke. "

Lu Shi stared at the rearview mirror, "How many days ago did this happen?"

The driver didn't dare to look directly at Lu Shi, and replied, "Five days ago."

"Why did you tell me now."

Hearing this sentence, the driver was about to break out in a cold sweat.

It's not that he has never had contact with Lu Shi. When Lu Shi was in junior high school, he often picked him up.

But at that time, this young master Lu was gentle and courteous, and he didn't talk much, but it made people feel easy to get along with.

But now, the person is still the same person, and the aura and expression around him make people feel terrified.

The driver's voice was two points weaker, "Before the old man fell into a coma, he repeatedly told Zhang Tezhu that he should not tell anyone about his illness. However, the old man's condition is too critical, and no one can bear this responsibility."

That's why I ignored Lu Zhaohe's order and contacted Lu Shi.

"understood."

Lu Shi's expression didn't change, he just said, "It happened suddenly, thank you for your hard work."

Hearing his attitude from the last sentence of "hard work", the driver was relieved knowing that Lu Shi would no longer pursue the hidden issue.

Lu Shi tapped the car seat with his finger.

The driver nodded and quickly raised the partition in the compartment.

When the partition is raised, the rear seat of the car becomes a secluded and spacious private space.

Chu Yu thought that Lu Shi had something private to say, but as soon as he turned his head to look over, he was kissed heavily by Lu Shi.

Lu Shi's breath was short, and he was holding Chu Yu's wrist very hard.During the kiss, Chu Yu could sense that Lu Shi's mood was very unstable.

It's like after learning the whole picture of the truth of what happened back then, Lu Shi went to the fighting arena to vent his suppressed emotions with the most primitive violence.

In this way, when he meets Fang Weishan, he can be calm, self-possessed, and deal with it rationally.

And now, Lu Shi is about to face Lu Zhaohe.

Chu Yu realized that Lu Shi was seeking support from him.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu raised his hand and pressed his palm on Lu Shi's obvious shoulder blades and back, raised his neck slightly, opened his lips and teeth, and accepted Lu Shi's ruthless intrusion.

Sensing Chu Yu's reaction, Lu Shi half-opened his eyes, stared at Chu Yu's thick and trembling eyelashes, and kissed deeper.

The car stopped.

In the back seat of the closed carriage, Lu Shi walked away from Chu Yu's neck, his black eyes drooping, and he tidied up Chu Yu's messy collar.

The two got out of the car.

Yangyi Hospital is a high-end chain medical institution under Lu's, and it is extremely private.In order to block the news that Lu Zhaohe had been hospitalized, the small building in Lu Zhaohe's ward was directly blocked.

Walking to the door of the ward, Chu Yu stopped and asked Lu Shi, "I'm waiting outside for you to come out?"

Lu Shi's eyes fell on the closed door of the ward. In his dark eyes, it seemed as if a dark flame was ignited from the frozen thousand-mile river.

He withdrew his gaze, looked down at Chu Yu's lips that seemed to be stained with water, and suddenly without warning, stretched out his hand and hugged him into his arms.

Great strength and a seamless fit.

Chu Yu let him hold her.

With his chin resting on Lu Shi's shoulder, he looked at the black-clothed bodyguards with bowed heads on both sides of the corridor, the white walls of the hospital, and finally reached out and patted Lu Shi's back, "It's almost over."

Hold on, it's almost over.

The black-clothed bodyguard standing in front of the ward bowed his head towards Lu Shi, and stretched out his hand to open the ward door.

Lu Shi stepped on the light-colored carpet, walked in, and the door of the ward closed behind him.

In the ward, the heavy curtains were drawn tightly so that no ray of light from the window could penetrate.The lighting is very dim, making the decorations in the corners cast shadows on the upper layers.

Without squinting, Lu Shi walked to the hospital bed, but didn't sit down in the escort chair.

He was looking at Lu Zhaohe carefully.

Once, Lu Zhaohe was someone he admired.Always face major events without chaos, as if he can live for a long time, and can always support the Lu family.

Now, Lu Zhaohe is lying on the hospital bed, paralyzed on one side of his body due to a stroke, unable to move, and the corners of his eyes and lips are drooping and full of wrinkles.Overnight, he aged dozens of years, dying.

Hearing the sound, Lu Zhaohe's eyes slowly opened. He had difficulty seeing in one eye, and his eyes were cloudy. He had to look closely to see some of the arrogance he had back then.

Lu Shi stood by the bed, letting his black shadow fall on the hospital bed.

His words were clear, "I'm back."

Lu Zhaohe stared at Lu Shi's face, his pupils constricted, and gradually became fearful.His lips opened, and he wanted to say something, but he only made a difficult "hoo hoo" sound, which was vague.

Lu Shi met Lu Zhaohe's eyes without avoiding it, "Thank you for helping me solve Fang Weishan, which saved me a lot of trouble."

The corner of his lips curled into a sneer, "Of course, thank you and Lu Shaochu for solving Fang Weiyun for me. The death penalty is a life for a life, are you right?"

The ending of the last word evoked, like a sharp iron hook, piercing into Lu Zhaohe's blood and bones with a cross wind.

As if he had figured out all the joints in an instant, one eye of Lu Zhaohe suddenly widened, and his lips trembled violently.He might want to raise his arm, but he couldn't do this simple movement.

The stiff arm hangs down on the hospital bed, like the root of a dead tree, ugly and twisted.

Lu Shi's gaze turned to his elbow, and he said flatly, "Look, you can't raise your arms, move your body, write, or speak. Tell me, what can you do?"

This reality is what Lu Zhaohe can't accept the most.

He considered himself a master of wind and rain for decades, but he didn't expect that now he was trapped in a hospital bed, unable to take care of himself, and let others slaughter him.

Even anyone can bully him.

He even didn't expect that it was Lu Shiyin who was hiding in the dark, calculating and manipulating all this.

Fang Weiyun, Fang Weishan, Lu Shaochu, himself, none of them escaped.

His breathing became short of breath, and his chest rose and fell abnormally. When he stared at Lu, it seemed as if he wanted to tear apart his marrow.

Lu Shi saw Lu Zhaohe's eyes clearly.

He thought that standing in front of Lu Zhaohe's hospital bed and watching him linger on the brink of death, he would be excited and happy.But at this time, he felt an unusual sense of peace in his heart.

He even wondered if Chu Yu would be bored waiting for him outside without his company.

Putting his hands into his pockets habitually, Lu Shiren Lu Zhaohe looked at him with a very weak voice, "I read the medical records, your language center was suppressed, and you can no longer speak. Even if you survive, all the rest of your life will be It can only be like this, lying on the hospital bed, unable to speak, unable to move, living like a walking dead."

Lu Shi's tone remained the same, as if Lu Zhaohe was no longer in his eyes.

"As for Lu Shaochu, the crimes he committed will make him disappear from this world. No one will know where he is imprisoned, whether he is alive or dead. He will be forgotten in a short time."

"Just like Jiang Yueman back then."

Speaking of this name, Lu Shi's fingers clenched into his palm unconsciously, and his nails sank into the flesh, causing a dull pain.

"Just because she gave birth to me, she was sealed in cement, sank to the bottom of the river, bound by chains, and tied to the bottom of the pier, day after day."

Lu Shi's voice softened, "Fang Weiyun said that when Jiang Yueman was sealed in the cement, she wasn't even dead. She was alive and sealed in the cement."

In the ward, the lights were dim.

The shadow behind Lu Shi looked like a monster with sharp claws.

Lu Zhaohe's eyes were wide open, filled with fear, his lips opened and closed, but he still couldn't pronounce a complete word.

At this moment, under Lu Shi's expression as calm as a lake, what was suppressed were countless conflicting emotions.

He remembered that when he was a child, Fang Weiyun cursed him as a bastard with dirty blood flowing from his body.

I thought of the pain when I cut my wrist with a knife blade and cut through the flesh and blood.

Thinking of how he naively used various methods to please Fang Weiyun, but he didn't know that his biological mother was trapped at the bottom of the river and was gradually forgotten.

I think of 18 years ago, in a remote small clinic, a woman was pregnant and wanted to abort the fetus in her stomach, end the mistakes she made because of blindness, and start a new life.

But when he was lying on the operating bed, he ran out with his stomach in his arms, crying, don't hurt my child.

I don't know if she regretted giving birth to him when she was sealed in cement.

His birth was a mistake, and it's time to end that mistake.

He closed his eyes and suppressed the blood that was welling up in his eyes. When he opened them again, only thorns and ice edges remained in Lu Shi's eyes.

He bent down and stared at Lu Zhaohe's cloudy eyes, his voice was hoarse, "Are you trying to say that I'm a lunatic?"

A few seconds later, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Lu Shi's lips, and he asked himself and answered, "Yes, I am a lunatic. The moment I knew the truth, I was already insane."

Chu Yu was sitting in the rest area outside the ward. A nurse brought a glass of water and put it on the small white table in front of him.He thanked him, but left the water glass on and didn't take a sip.

Looking up at the closed door of the ward, Chu Yu lowered his head again and took out his cell phone.

The news in the class group was 99+, and the topic changed from the soy milk at the breakfast shop in front of the school, which had increased by one yuan, to the strong wind blowing outside.

I don't know how it developed, chatting and chatting, the wind turned into a cloudy wind, and began to turn in the direction of ghost stories.

Chu Yu's eyelids trembled, and he hurriedly withdrew.I felt that it was not safe enough, and I turned off the software background.

Swiping the screen of the phone, Chu Yu finally landed on the icon of the photo album with his fingertips, and clicked in.

He doesn't have many photos, and I'm afraid that he will finish flipping through them all at once, and the speed is very slow.

Slowly going up, his fingertips paused, and Chu Yu clicked on a photo.

The photo was taken at the shooting gallery on Qingchuan Road. In the photo, Lu Shi was standing in front of the black preparation table, filling the magazine with bullets.The noise-cancelling earphones are placed on the shoulders and neck, with the head hanging down, and the curvature of the back of the neck is very beautiful.The silver frame of the goggles covers the ends of the eyes, and the profile of the face is delicate and cold.

Chu Yu couldn't help zooming in with two fingers.

When we first met, in the narrow alley of Qingchuan Road, Lu Shi's provocative tone caused people to fight him.Later, when I was a teenager, I drove underground racing cars, played shooting, and fought - there was an extremely unbearable depression and manic depression that needed to be relieved.

Looking back now, Lu Shi at that time was like a scarred beast, locked in a cage surrounded by thorns, narrow and cramped.

He struggled hopelessly, even though he was cut into countless bloody mouths by the spikes.

Fortunately, it's almost over.

Fang Weiyun is dead, Lu Shaochu is imprisoned, and Fang Weishan's worries have been resolved.

Chu Yu looked at the door of the ward - Lu Zhaohe suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, which was no longer enough to pose any threat.

Suddenly, I remembered what Wei Guanglei and Zhu Zhifei said before, that Lu Shi was a little world-weary, and it seemed that he died in the next second, it was no big deal, but there was one thing that barely hanged his life.

Thinking of this, a taut string in his head broke with a "snap", and Chu Yu's heart trembled.

Fear, like a hurricane, swept through his mind in an instant——

What if, what if the matter of barely hanging on to your life is already done?

It wasn't until he bit the tip of his tongue hard that the tingling sensation made Chu Yu pull back to his reason, barely suppressing this terrifying thought.

But like a stone hitting the surface of the water, once the ripples sway, it will be difficult to restore calm.

He began to fidget.

In my mind, the pictures appeared in turn, frame by frame.

There are old and new scars on Lu Shi's wrists, his desperate style of fighting, his life as simple as an ascetic to the extreme, his complete fearlessness of death when driving a car...

He thought about dying countless times.

For Lu Shi, maybe being alive is a mistake, a burden and a heavy pressure?

At this time, there was a movement, Chu Yu raised his head hastily, and saw the door of the ward open.

Lu Shi came out from inside.

Chu Yu quickly got up and went to meet him.

"Lu Shi!"

He had so much to say, but he couldn't say a single word.She had no choice but to hug Lu Shi's waist tightly, not loosening even an inch.

Lu Shiren was hugged by him, and the cold and gloomy aura in his eyes dissipated completely when he touched Chu Yu's body temperature.

Gently patted Chu Yu's back, Lu Shi's voice was soft, "So clingy?"

Chu Yu didn't speak, but hugged Lu Shi even tighter.

Lu Shi kissed Chu Yu's soft hair.

He thought of the resentful and unwilling Lu Zhaohe in the ward, staring at him ferociously, as if trying to curse him with all his might.

He could almost imagine that if Lu Zhaohe could speak, he would definitely scold him for his insidious behavior and cruel means, for not caring about family affection at all, and for ignoring human nature.

However, it was not Lu Zhaohe's turn to scold them.

How cruel his own hands are, how dirty his heart is, how rotten his life is, he even took his own life at birth, and up to now, his whole body has been soaked in the mud of the swamp—all these, he himself knows clearly.

Unclean.

It never occurred to him to wash it off, either.

Only, in his filthy heart, there is still a corner that is spotless.

There, stood his Chu Yu.
