His eardrums were buzzing, and even the scenery in front of him seemed to be distorted.

When his father roared angrily, Lu Xin's whole body seemed to be involved in a chaotic tide, with an inexplicable feeling of depression. This feeling made Lu Xin always have the urge to roar with all his strength and open everything.

His father stared at him, as if waiting for his answer.

But Lu Xin just frowned and didn't answer, as if he couldn't hear anything.

"If they all die, who will pay the children's wages?"

Mom opened her mouth with a smile. Under the light, sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, she was charming and elegant.

As she spoke, Lu Xin finally felt a little calmer.

And her voice was still slowly ringing. "Everyone is dead, who will maintain the operation of this city?"

"Would an empty city be interesting?"

"..."

My father couldn't answer this question, but his breathing became obviously heavier again.

Mom Even his voice seemed so gentle and rational, and his beautiful eyes looked at his father gently. "In fact, we should be reasonable. Since we have done something that others cannot do, how can we deprive ourselves of the power that others are afraid of?"

"Not everyone is as reluctant to go out as you are. In this world, it's better to be lively..."

"..."

"Kekeke..."

Father stared at Mom, his fists clenching, and his arms seemed to be getting thicker.

Mom just looked at him with a smile, his eyes did not dodge at all, and there was even a hint of provocation.

Seeing that they seemed to be fighting again, Lu Xin had a headache again.

Mom actually couldn't beat her father, but she had to provoke him every time. And sometimes, she could obviously scare her father, but she rarely used that method.

Even thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she would only use it when her father was eyeing her.

However, this time there might be something officially discussed after all.

Or perhaps, it was because they had already had a fierce fight before Lu Xin came back.

This time my father was angry, but not angry enough to take action.

Mom just looked at his father provocatively for a while, and then his gentle and delicate eyes fell on Lu Xin again. "Of course, I have to say that Mom is a very reasonable person, but you do appear to be a little weak."

"When those people escaped, you chose to save them first. Mom can understand it, but what about now?"

"..."

Lu Xin heard what Mom meant and understood in his heart.

No wonder they didn't fight again this time. It turns out that their attitudes are actually the same now.

This made him think slightly.

He subconsciously looked at his father, Mom, and his sister huddled beside him.

They are so real and vivid, they all have their own personalities, and they all think about each other in their own way.

"If you don't want to be killed by others, then you have to attack them first before they harm you!"

"You have to let them understand that they shouldn't mess with you..."

The father gritted his teeth slightly, stared at Lu Xin, and spoke slowly, his eyes blood red.

"I am an older child who has been working for many years..."

Mom also smiled at him gently at this time, "Sometimes, being too soft-hearted is not a good habit..."

Their voices were one angry and one gentle.

But they all seemed to be trying their best to convey something to Lu Xin.

This made him feel a little lost subconsciously, and a strange emotion was growing in his heart.

"Brother is right..."

When his father's anger continued and Mom pointed out the problem gently, his sister suddenly showed her head and shouted.

Her voice was very loud, and she screamed hard at her father and Mom.

Two small hands hugged Lu Xin's arm tightly, as if he would suddenly run away.

"Huh?"

Mom looked at her sister, as if she was a little surprised, and then she smiled softly.

Amidst the laughter, her eyes quietly swept over her sister's face, which seemed a little subtle.

But the younger sister didn't notice Mom's expression. She stretched out most of her body and made a fierce expression towards her father.

"Damn girl, stupid girl, you don't understand anything at all..."

Facing his sister's rebuttal, his father suddenly became furious.

He yelled fiercely, stood up suddenly, and became extremely tall. Behind him, the only chandelier in the living room hung about two meters from the ground. His body blocked the light and cast a huge shadow.

The shadow enveloped Lu Xin and his sister, and as the light bulb shook, the shadow kept rippling.

"What my brother did was right."

My sister was a little scared and shrank back behind Lu Xin, but she still whispered in a low voice.

"Shut up!"

The father cursed fiercely, his anger seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

As he got closer, the shadow cast by him became bigger and bigger.

With the light behind him, it seemed that he could only see a pair of blood-red eyes at this time.

"Stop scaring my sister."

Lu Xin hugged his sister who huddled into a small ball next to him, frowned, and said something to his father.

Twisted and tight veins rolled under his father's skin, but when he listened to Lu Xin's words, the almost obvious anger was not vented. He just looked at Lu Xin who was sitting on the sofa, blocking his sister.

His voice was fierce and angry. "Even if you have to work, don't you care about yourself?"

"Those people were just a little bit close to tearing you apart, and then used bullets to beat you into a pulp. Then they left without saying a word. Do you plan to not care as much as before? Do you just let them go so easily?"

"..."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little subtle.

Mom After hearing this, they just sat together quietly, smiling elegantly.

The younger sister seemed slightly wary, tilting her head and looking at Lu Xin's profile.

Mom looked at his sister like this and smiled softly and said, "Of course your brother is not wrong, he did the right thing!"

"It's just that what we want to discuss now is what happened next. Those people have already done bad things and snatched the painting. Although others think that these people from outside the city came in just to snatch the painting, but if you think about it carefully, is it really that simple?"

"If they were just trying to steal the painting, why did a mentally reformed person come to you in the first place? Why was the bomb detonated in the south of the city? Wouldn't it be more convenient if it was arranged closer to the port?"

"So, what are we going to do?"

"..."

When my sister heard these words, she didn't know whether she understood them or not, but she was just subconsciously in a daze.

Mom smiled, "Besides, it's fun outside the city. We haven't been out of the city yet..."

My sister's eyes also became slightly brighter...

While the family was discussing these things relaxedly and happily, Lu Xin had been sitting quietly on the sofa.

I don't know what he thought of, but a strange smile crept onto his face.

He looked up and saw his father's blood-red eyes, Mom's elegant smile, and his sister's curious heart.

"What you all said makes sense..."

He nodded slightly and said with some emotion.

"You agreed this time?"

His father was silent for a moment, then looked directly into his eyes and asked in a low voice.

From that angry face, there seemed to be a hint of excitement and even anticipation.

"I should say..."

After a while, Lu Xin nodded slightly and spoke in a low voice.

Sizzling...

It seems that because this building is too old and in disrepair, the voltage has become unstable, and obvious sounds of current disorder can be heard.

The light bulb hanging in the living room also began to flicker on and off.

This made Lu Xin's face look like the shadow cast by his father at one time, and then completely dark at the other.

Even his expression couldn't be clearly seen. He seemed to be smiling, but also seemed to be very calm.

Instead, his voice slowly sounded, "I had already decided before I went home this time."

"I came to you just to confirm whether you will support me..."

"..."

After hearing these words, my father, who had a somewhat expectant expression on his face, suddenly had a strange expression on his face.

Then he slowly stared at Lu Xin, and the corners of his mouth began to pull to both sides, slowly turning into a smile.

At this time, his smile looked very similar to Lu Xin's.

After an unknown amount of time, Mom stood up lightly. At this time, the voltage in the room became stable.

The light is steady and evenly sprinkled in this small living room, bright and warm.

"Look, it would be great to discuss things carefully..."

Mom stood up lightly and began to summarize the meeting with a smile, "It's such a happy decision."

"Shall we... go find them?"

"..."

After listening to her words, her father nodded coldly and silently.

My sister held Lu Xin's arm, as if she was just waiting for his opinion.

Lu Xin also nodded calmly. He likes to communicate and achieve common results in this friendly and pleasant way.
