Lu Changcheng's eyes, which had been red with heartache, turned red with resentment. He pressed, "Is the person still there?"
He asked Lin Fengzhi, and Lu Changcheng Lu Han nodded. Hearing Lu Muchi's face darkened. "Send men over there immediately! They must capture him!"
On the other side, Lu Lin left the orphanage. He glanced at the time and realized there were still more than forty minutes left until the No. 1 Primary School he had mentioned to Yan Heqing. If he drove fast, he could get there in half an hour, so he took a detour to a flower shop.
Lu Lin was clearly a big customer, and the florist personally came forward to greet him, "How can I help you?"
Lu Lin walked up to the roses. He rarely bought flowers himself, and after looking for a while, he chose a bouquet of white roses.
Carrying a large bouquet of white roses, Lu Lin left the flower shop, placed the flowers in the passenger seat, and then returned to the driver's seat to go home.
When Lu Lin arrived home, it was nearly dusk, with only a faint light. The garden wasn't very bright, and the streetlights weren't on. As Lu Lin entered the yard through the small gate, he saw Yan Heqing playing fetch with the two dogs.
Yan Heqing noticed that Lu Lin had returned. She tossed the colorful ball, which rolled to Lu Lin's feet, and the two dogs chased after it eagerly.
Yan Heqing stood up and saw Lu Lin carrying a bouquet of flowers towards him. As he got closer, he saw they were white roses and asked in surprise, "For me?"
Despite dating for so long and even registering their marriage, it seemed to be the first time Lu Lin had ever given him roses.
Lu Lin handed it over, a smile playing on his lips, "So, will you accept it?"
"Take it." Yan Heqing took the flower, lowered his head and leaned closer to smell it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Lin also leaned in and commented, "It doesn't smell like plum blossoms."
Their faces were very close, and Yan Heqing could clearly see the smile in Lu Lin's eyes. It was obvious who Lu Lin was referring to when he pointed to the plum blossom. Yan Heqing's eyes were clear. He suddenly looked around and, not seeing the old butler or the nanny, leaned forward and kissed Lu Lin on the cheek. "Let's eat." He then took the roses and went back to his room.
Lu Lin was taken aback by Yan Heqing's actions.
A few seconds later, he rubbed his Adam's apple and was about to follow him inside when the phone rang.
Upon receiving the news, Lu Changcheng sent people to take Lin Fengzhi away.
"We took him to Mr. Lu's villa on the hillside." The assistant paused for a second, then said tactfully, "He's locked in a room with all the windows sealed off."
Lu Changcheng's meaning was clear: Guan Lin Fengzhi to the dark room and missed the surgery time.
We'll release him when he goes blind.
Lu Lin didn't say anything, put away his phone, and went back to his room.
The old housekeeper insisted on waiting for Lu Lin to come back for dinner. At the dinner table, he talked a lot about Lu Lin's school days, reminiscing with shining eyes. He didn't go back to his room to rest until 9 o'clock.
After the old housekeeper returned to his room, Yan Heqing went to get the roses, intending to put them upstairs. There was a vase in the small living room with dried flowers, which could be temporarily replaced with fresh flowers for the next few days. However, just as he picked up the flowers, Lu Lin pulled him upstairs, went back to his room, closed the door, and then pressed Yan Heqing against the door and kissed him.
Yan Heqing hadn't put the flowers down when Lu Lin pressed down on him, causing the petals to flutter down. He kissed Yan Lu Lin until his breathing quickened, then released him, gently pressing his forehead against Yan Heqing's, their breaths mingling. "You go to sleep first, I'm going to the study to take care of some things."
Yan Heqing nodded.
Lu Lin went to the study, and Yan Heqing went to the small living room. He untied the bouquet, trimmed the branches, put the flowers in a vase, and then went back to the bedroom.
After spending 15 minutes pasting the wall each day and taking a shower, Lu Lin Yan Heqing still hadn't returned, so he went to bed first.
He guessed that Lu Lin was dealing with something that was essentially cleaning up his mess.
Lu Lin's attitude this time was very firm; he wanted him to return to his normal life.
Just like today.
Without a second thought, he rode his bicycle through the bustling streets to buy groceries. When he got home, his two little dogs were waiting for him, and then they waited together for Lu Lin to return.
This was the life he had longed for, but could never have.
Yan Heqing suddenly felt a lightness in his heart, and the heavy things that had been weighing him down were finally collapsing rapidly.
I am no longer alone.
It's really good.
Yan Heqing turned over, stared at the pillow beside him that he had left for Lu Lin, his eyelids drooped, and he soon fell asleep.
In the study across the street, Lu Lin prepared a plan and sent it to Chu Ziyu.
"A thank-you gift for you."
Chu Ziyu was playing a game, leisurely munching on a watermelon. He exited the game, opened the project proposal, and replied after a long while.
"What is this? I don't understand."
Lu Lin called him first, "A short-selling plan for Cheng Group, not a big company, I've calculated it, could earn you around 10 billion."
Chu Ziyu nearly choked on the melon pulp. He swallowed with difficulty and said, "Why are you suddenly being so nice to me?"
Lu Lin replied calmly, "Didn't I say it was a thank-you gift?"
Chu Ziyu racked his brains to recall what 10 billion yuan favor he had done for Lu Lin.
"No, I don't remember doing anything good!" Chu Ziyu said doubtfully.
Lu Lin didn't answer him directly, "I'm asleep."
I hung up the phone.
Chu Ziyu was full of doubts, but if Lu Lin said it could make money, then it definitely could.
Chu Ziyu quickly sent the proposal to his brother.
Then I started thinking, what great thing did he do that deserves 10 billion!
After finally eating another slice of watermelon, Chu Ziyu spat out the seeds and exclaimed incredulously, "Holy crap, is he thanking me for inviting him to Oxy?!"
Back at the Oxygen bar, he was amazed by Yan Heqing's cocktails. Knowing that Lu Lin also liked cocktails, he invited him to the bar for drinks.
Chu Ziyu was convinced.
"Is it really necessary, President Old Lu?" Chu Ziyu angrily commented in the group chat. "Look at how smug you are, like your old house is on fire! Just because you have a wife doesn't mean you're all that great!"
Lu Lin either fell asleep or was too lazy to respond, so he didn't reply.
Xie Yunjie, however, replied in the early hours of the morning, "That's quite remarkable."
The following day, news suddenly broke online that Cheng Jian had been arrested and taken to the police station.
The hashtag # Cheng Group # also trended high on the hot search list, with thousands of marketing accounts under the Chu Group involved, making it impossible to remove the trending topic.
