Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

"Desperado, why are you still not awake?

You've built up your walls for so long.

Oh, you stubborn fellow,

But I know you have your reasons.

Things that make you happy now,

It can also give you heartache.

……

Desperado, you are no longer young,

Pain and hunger force you to turn back.

Freedom, oh, freedom, it's just a legend,

Your prison is traveling alone across the world.

……

Desperado, why are you still not awake?

Come out of your fence and open your heart.

There may be wind and rain, but after the rain there will be a rainbow above your head.

You better let someone love you before it's too late."

A familiar tune suddenly sounded, quite loud, filling the entire alley, like the background music for Chu Zihang and the man's reunion and embrace.

Everyone was worried about the two people in the middle of the alley. The abrupt yet harmonious sound of music attracted everyone's attention.

"'Desperado'?" Caesar frowned.

He was originally a fan of European and American music, and was interested in both rock and folk music. In addition, the song "Desperado" was so famous. It was a song by the Eagles in 1973. Many Italian mafia gangs liked to play this song on the radio when they were racing.

"Where does the singing come from?" Nuonuo also frowned slightly.

The sound of this song was a little too strange, not because they couldn't find the source of the sound, but because Nuonuo knew about Chu Zihang's past with the man, and felt that this song was too... suitable for the current situation.

Lu Mingfei looked up, and for a moment he wondered if it was Su Enxi or Jiude Mai who was causing trouble, but he immediately rejected the idea... If those two guys wanted to show up, they would have done so long ago. There was no need to make such a mysterious move.

How could I have forgotten about that guy, Lu Mingfei thought.

Something wet dripped onto Chu Zihang's shoulder, one after another. At first Chu Zihang didn't feel anything, because his shoulder had been numb from the pain from being bitten by the man.

But those things slid down his shoulders. They were cold at first, and then became warm. At first Chu Zihang thought it was blood, but later his shoulder actually regained some sensation because the man's bite force gradually weakened.

That was not blood, but tears. Chu Zihang was sure that his shoulder was no longer so painful and the blood would not flow more and more. However, more and more blood was rolling down his shoulder, at first one or two drops, and then one or two lines. Chu Zihang felt the body of the man in his arms begin to tremble.

"Does it hurt..." A voice came from my ear.

It was a long-lost voice, strange yet familiar, and extremely hoarse.

"It doesn't hurt." Chu Zihang shook his head. The amplitude was a bit large and it affected the wounds on his shoulders and chest.

In fact, it hurts, but it doesn’t hurt much, compared to the scars in my heart… But the scars in my heart are healing, and compared to the pain, the healing of the soul allows people not to care about other injuries.

"Silly son... You're so badly injured, and you still say it doesn't hurt?" The man's voice was weak and hoarse, but as warm as in his memory, "You're still as stubborn as you were when you were a kid."

Chu Zihang's face wrinkled slightly. Actually, he had a lot to say at this moment, but he was not good at expressing himself. People who didn't know him might think he was aloof and cool, but people who really knew him knew that he was not cold at all. He was just stubborn. In Lu Mingfei's words, he was twisted, and in Finkel's words, he was stuck in a dead end.

"I'm sorry." Chu Zihang finally whispered these words into the man's ear.

Chapter 1051 Awakening Chu Tianjiao

"sorry."

After Chu Zihang said this, the man was silent for a very long time, so long that Chu Zihang once thought the man had fainted on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry...son." After a long silence, the man finally spoke again. He said slowly, "I should say this to you and your mother."

"Mom, she..." Chu Zihang said a few words subconsciously, and then suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong with your mother?" The man suddenly became a little nervous, as if something sensitive in his heart was inadvertently touched.

Chu Zihang was silent for a moment. It seemed that the man could no longer remember what happened when he became Odin, or his memory was very vague. Of course, he also didn't remember that he had actually met Su Xiaoyan when he was at the Sacred Heart Hospital.

"It's okay. Mom is fine at home. She should be taking a nap at this time." Chu Zihang said in a very low voice, "I have always remembered what you told me. I will heat a cup of milk for her every night before going to bed. Now Mom sleeps much better than when she was a child."

Give the woman a cup of hot milk every night before going to bed. This was the only thing the man asked Chu Zihang to do after divorcing the woman. Although the woman was not virtuous enough, she was beautiful enough. Chu Zihang's grandmother said that the woman was heartless but had a very good life. When she was a child, her grandmother heated milk for her, when she got married, the man heated milk for her, and even after the divorce, her son still heated milk for her.

Therefore, Chu Tianjiao did not need to worry about anything after separating from the woman. The woman married into a wealthy family and had everything she needed. Her new husband was honest enough. Even if he was not considerate enough in many details, it did not matter. She had a considerate enough son. As long as the man asked Chu Zihang to "give mom a hot cup of milk before bed", he would do it as meticulously as a robot butler.

She said she was relieved, but how could she be completely at ease? After all, that was the woman she once loved deeply... No, not just in the past, he also loved her deeply now.

How could he not love her? She was the woman who was willing to bear him a son. She dedicated almost all of her youth to him. That was the most beautiful and precious time in a woman's life, like a diamond... To this day, the man still remembers the first time he saw the woman. She danced freely on the stage. Her movements were so gorgeous and graceful. Her white skirt bloomed like a swan's feathers.

In just a quarter of an hour, he fell in love with him, loved him passionately and couldn't help himself. He never believed in love at first sight until he met this woman. He felt that this was his destiny. He must marry this woman and let this woman give birth to children for him. He even forgot his position and identity that would never allow himself to have a wife and children.

Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo’s inference was absolutely correct. During the time when he was separated from the woman, the man followed her countless times and took countless photos secretly. It was not only because he was concerned about the woman’s current situation, but also because he could not suppress the longing deep in his heart... Love and longing are like poison, always playing tricks on her every night.

Sometimes the family goes to the amusement park or the cinema, sometimes the woman goes shopping with her sisters, and sometimes the woman plays alone in the yard with the family's Doberman...Near the lakeside villa, there is even a wonderful and hidden shooting spot arranged by a man, where he can pay attention to every move in the villa.

Following and secretly taking photos may sound vulgar and even illegal at first glance, but the man never thought of disturbing the woman's current life. He never appeared in front of the woman, and he rarely even went to see his son. He was like a walker in the night, never showing up, but always silently paying attention to and protecting the mother and son.

The man never mentioned that he had even secretly investigated the man named Lu Tianming in private. He investigated all the information about the man, his life, his company, his family... The man even staked out the guy named Lu Tianming for a whole month to see if he had an extramarital affair and whether he was a hypocritical scum.

Even if they are no longer his women and children, the man will never allow them to be bullied. If Lu Tianming does something to let them down, the man will destroy everything he has at all costs... This is what the man is good at, he does what he says, no matter if the other party is a successful entrepreneur or some big shot.

"That's good. She's doing well...that's enough." The man said slowly. In fact, he had a lot of questions in his mind, but in the end, the only thing left was "That's good."

What else could he ask? He was facing his own son. So many years had passed, and he had been separated from them for so many years. What right did he have to ask about her condition? Maybe that person had already forgotten him.

They were a couple who had been divorced for many years. The woman already had a new family and was living a good life now. He had sent her away with his own hands, and now even his own son called someone else dad... There was no love between them at all.

"You better let someone love you before it's too late..."

The Eagles had just finished singing the last sentence at this moment. The lyrics of the song seemed to be tailor-made for men. He was a desperado and was destined to lack love. Having a wife and a son was already a rare experience for him. The happy times were enough as a precious memory in life. Living alone until the end of his life should be the destination for people like him.

What's more, his son has become so outstanding. The man felt Chu Zihang's solid body and his height that was almost the same as his... How long have they not seen each other? After so many years, this kid has grown so tall. What about his face? Has it changed? Is he still the same as when he was a child, cute, stubborn and cool?

The man didn’t know how many years it had been since they last saw each other, but the child had grown so much in height, it must have been at least five or seven years... The man suddenly wanted to take a closer look at Chu Zihang’s face.

Maybe it was because he hugged her for too long, or maybe it was because Chu Zihang hugged her too tightly, the man was a little exhausted and began to feel a little breathless.

"Ahem... son, have you become heavier?" The man coughed twice and patted Chu Zihang's back gently. "Okay, two grown men, let's hold him all the time. You're not a child anymore... I say, can you let me see what my son looks like now?"

The man asked softly, his tone seemed relaxed but he was actually a little nervous. Many years ago, he could chat with his son in a nonchalant tone because Chu Zihang didn't know his true identity at that time. He was just an ordinary driver for his boss, and his slick tone was completely in line with his personality... But it's different now, his son should know what kind of person his father is.

The man felt like he was stripped naked and was a little overwhelmed, so he was very cautious... He didn't know what attitude he should have towards his child. Would he be disliked if he tried to get close to him?

But Chu Zihang didn't answer for a long time, and the man's heart sank gradually, from expectation, to uneasiness, and finally to disappointment. However, before he could be disappointed for too long, he found something wrong.

"Hello? Hello?" The man called out twice tentatively, but Chu Zihang still maintained that posture, leaning on his shoulder. The man could feel that Chu Zihang seemed to have put all his strength on him.

"Son? Son...Chu Zihang?" The man was a little panicked. He wanted to see what was going on with Chu Zihang, but he had no strength left. He had consumed too much energy and couldn't even lift an adult man weighing over 100 pounds off his body.

The man staggered and pushed Chu Zihang off him, but he himself did not stand firmly, and both he and Chu Zihang fell backwards.

Before the man and Chu Zihang were about to fall to the ground, two pairs of hands supported their shoulders... Caesar supported Chu Zihang, and the man fell on Lu Mingfei.

"You are..." The man forced himself to open his eyes and looked at the boy in front of him who seemed familiar yet strange.

"I'm Lu Mingfei. We've met before, uncle." Lu Mingfei whispered, "You're too tired. Get some sleep first. The bad things are over."

“Oh…it’s Lu Mingfei.” It was obvious that the man was not conscious anymore. He was not sure whether he remembered Lu Mingfei or not. He murmured, “Son…my son…”

"It's okay, Brother is fine. We are all his friends and will take good care of him." Lu Mingfei said softly, "You will see him when you wake up."

It seemed that only after getting Lu Mingfei's promise did the man slowly close his eyes. He was indeed too tired, not only physically, but also mentally... Seven years, a full seven years. Lu Mingfei looked at the man's bruised body. No one knew what he had experienced in the seven years of being Odin.

"Go to sleep, uncle, have a good sleep." Lu Mingfei looked at the man, then at Chu Zihang, and said with a complicated expression, "You and Brother, you should have a good rest. You won't need to be so tired in the future."

Caesar looked at Chu Zihang, his face also full of emotion... Chu Zihang's face was pale, his eyes were tightly closed, as if he had fainted from excessive blood loss, or as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Hey, guys, the police are here!" A guy who had disappeared for a long time suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He waved to everyone at the entrance of the alley, "Hurry up, hurry up, I know a good place!"

Lu Mingfei carried the man on his back, Caesar carried Chu Zihang on his back, and the group followed Finkel and evacuated quickly.

……

On a tall building not far away, Su Enxi and Jiude Mai watched everyone go away.

"Is Chu Zihang okay?" Su Enxi asked Jiude Mai with some concern.

"Given his bloodline, such an injury is not fatal to him." Jiude Mai shook her head and said, "He just lost too much blood. He should be able to wake up after adequate rest."

"Where is Chu Tianjiao?" Su Enxi asked again.

"His bloodline is also very strong, and he didn't suffer any fatal injuries." Jiude Mai said, "Chu Tianjiao's memory seems to have basically recovered."

"Alright, alright, this is probably the best ending." Su Enxi breathed a sigh of relief. "You know what, long legs. I was really afraid that you would suddenly jump down and fight to your death."

"With so many people, it's not my turn to fight." Jiude Mai shook her head and said, "I'm just worried that Chu Tianjiao's personality will never wake up, and Chu Zihang is too stubborn. This father and son are both troublesome guys, otherwise it will be difficult for both of them to have a good ending."

"You said the same about Chu Zihang. This guy is too stubborn. Even if the person in front of him is his father, he is a crazy father. His father doesn't even recognize him, but he dares to gamble with his life." Su Enxi said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, Chu Tianjiao didn't have a knife in his hand, otherwise he would have been stabbed through by Chu Zihang. I almost passed out just now."

"Lonely kids are all stubborn. The lonelier they are, the more stubborn they are." Jiude Mai said softly, "Chu Zihang is like this, Lu Mingfei is like this... All of us are no different."

"You're right, long legs." Su Enxi was silent for a while, then nodded, "There is a dead child living in everyone's heart, and they pop up when they are happy or sad."

……

Opposite Su Enxi and Jiude Mai, on another tall building.

"Have you seen enough? Are you satisfied?" Pompey tilted his head and looked at Ange beside him.

Angé also watched Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang and the others leave until everyone disappeared from his sight.

"My friend, you're still bleeding." Pompey pointed at Ange's wound. "I was going to take you to the hospital, but you said you didn't want to go. Don't blame me if you die."

"It's true that I'm old. When I was young, a wound like this could be healed with just some liquor." Ange shook his head. "But I'm not completely useless. I won't die from such a small wound."

"Okay, you're almost 140 years old, and you can run, jump, and hold a knife. What else can you complain about?" Pompey said with a sad face, "My health doctor said that my lifestyle is too bad, and I indulge in sex too much. If I don't quit smoking, drinking, and women, I may not live to be 70."

"Will you listen to him?" Angers glanced at Pompey.

"Listen to bullshit!" Pompey rolled his eyes, "If you leave me without cigarettes, alcohol, and women, I will die tomorrow!"

As he spoke, Pompey took out an aluminum box from somewhere, pulled out a cigar from it, and lit it with a match.

"Would you like one too?" Pompey handed the aluminum box to Ange. Just as Ange was about to take it, Pompey suddenly took his hand back and said, "I remember that you are injured. Patients are not allowed to smoke."

"When can you change your despicable behavior?" Angé complained dissatisfiedly.

"If I change it, no girl will like me. What should I do? Women nowadays like my style." Pompey showed his signature servile smile, but then immediately stopped smiling. "But seriously, how are you going to deal with this matter?"

Chapter 1052 Waking up in Chu Tianjiao's Hut

"Deal with it?" Ange asked Pompey, "Didn't we just deal with this matter?"

"Huh?" Pompey raised his eyebrows. "That's it? Is it over? Isn't this a big deal for Odin? Nibelungen is as big as a city, and it's over just like that? Are you planning to hide such a big thing from those old guys in the secret party? Can you hide it?"

"They have the means to figure out Odin's secrets, that's their ability." Ange said expressionlessly, "It has nothing to do with me. I'm neither their lackey nor their steward. There's no need for me to report everything I know to them, not to mention that I don't know much about Odin myself."

"Okay, okay, let's put Odin's matter aside for now. That man is no ordinary person, right?" Pompey said, "The man named Chu Tianjiao, his file has been removed from the secret party's database, right? What is his true bloodline? 'S' grade? Or 'SS' grade?"

"There is no such thing as the 'SS' level in the secret party. As a school director, you should be very clear about this." Angers squinted at Pompey, "And what did you say, Chu Tianjiao? Who is this? I don't know him. I have never even heard of this name."

"No, Ange, you old fellow, how could you not recognize Chu Tian..." Pompey looked at Ange's expression and understood instantly, "I understand, I understand, you old fox, a name that has been erased from all the files is equivalent to non-existence, right? Today's incident is not big or small. After the news was blocked, it is difficult for those old guys in the secret party to investigate whether Chu Tianjiao is still alive. A person who has disappeared for so many years can also be 'not existing from the beginning'."

"Forcing Chu Tianjiao back to the Secret Party will not benefit me personally or the Secret Party." Angé said calmly.

"You can't take him back even if you force him." Pompey shrugged contemptuously, "You can't beat him at all now. If it weren't for me, he would have killed you."

"I'm not arguing with you about this." Angers shook his head and said, "Chu Tianjiao is not only involved in this case. We have just seen Chu Zihang's attitude. If the secret party knew that Chu Tianjiao was still alive, it would inevitably involve Odin and more dusty secrets. They will not let Chu Tianjiao go so easily."

"If the secret party pushes Chu Tianjiao to the opposite side, Chu Zihang, as Chu Tianjiao's son, will definitely not ignore his father. You are worried about this, right?" Pompey sighed, "When will Caesar be so filial to his father?"

"It's not just Chu Zihang." Angers shook his head and said in a solemn tone, "If Chu Zihang and the secret party are on opposite sides because of Chu Tianjiao's matter, then between Chu Zihang and Kassel Academy, I don't think Lu Mingfei will be more inclined to the Academy's side."

"Well, it's not just Lu Mingfei, right? There's also his pretty and incredibly powerful girlfriend, 'Word Spirit·Judgment'. What an unreasonable bloodline and ability. If two 'S'-levels are pushed to the opposite side of Kassel College, those old guys in the secret party will also be embarrassed and have a headache, right?" Pompey said, looking into the distance, "And it's not just the two of them. The two commissioners from the executive department today, I don't remember their names, and there's also Chen Motong, and Caesar. They will probably stand on Chu Zihang's side. I don't know about other people, but I know my son. He is a loyal person. He will probably never give up on justice and righteousness in his life. Obviously, in this matter, the side that Caesar believes in must be his good brother."

"The Secret Party had no involvement in Odin's affairs. They broke into the Nibelungen on their own, and everyone escaped successfully, bringing Chu Zihang out. This is a glorious victory." Angers whispered, "Even the Secret Party is not qualified to steal the fruits of others' victory. Although many families in the Secret Party have done this kind of thing, including your Gattuso family, we all know how heavy the price of doing so is."

"That's not something you would say. You were once known as the 'executioner of the secret party', but now you have become such a kind and sensible old man?" Pompey chuckled. "Admit it, you old man, you are not so kind. In the end, the risks outweigh the benefits."

"It's not worth it to let the best freshmen of Kassel Academy have grudges against the academy because of Chu Tianjiao." Pompey analyzed Angers' psychology, "Including today in the meeting room of Shilan Middle School, there were many doubts in the statements of Lu Mingfei and Chen Motong, but you kept pretending to be stupid as if you didn't hear them. You let them get away with it easily because you were afraid of pushing them too far. Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, Chen Motong, including my son, they are all excellent without exception, but they all have their own ideas, and those with ideas are uncontrollable. The only obedient one is the guy named Finkel."

"Fingal is the most uncontrollable one." After saying this, Angers fell silent. He did not comment on Pompey's other words.
