Chapter 16: Reflection
When Leo woke up, it was already noon the next day, Leo was not injured, he was in a coma due to the excessive consumption of his body and the lack of oxygen to the brain, which caused the brain to be temporarily deprived of oxygen. The ambulance soon arrived, and after putting on an oxygen mask for Leo, he fell asleep straight from his coma.
The person who shot and rescued Leo at that time was Robert's father, who is now the actual ruler of the Robert family. When he received a call from his son that day, he immediately sent someone to the warehouse area of the dock. As Leo guessed, Miami is the largest commercial port in the southern tip of the United States, and the dock warehouse area here is so large that it is several blocks inside the warehouse.
They've actually been here a long time ago, but it's not a lot of trouble to find. I have to check them one by one, and I don't know when I want to find them. Later, they also heard the sound of gunshots, so they followed the direction from which the gunshots came.
Robert and the others also came to look for Leo, and when they saw Robert's father walking out with a comatose Leo in his arms, everyone was terrified, thinking that Leo was seriously injured. When they learned that they were just tired and fainted, everyone was relieved. Anna was still crying and scolding: "Stinky Leo, bad Leo, tell you to be strong, think you can do anything, this time it's okay, tired you stinky bastard."
Soon Xiaolan was rescued, and the abducted women were also rescued, and when the first person to go in saw a group of women without clothes, they were also a little dumbfounded, and their bodies were boiling with animal blood. He was still pulled out by Robert's father, who came in behind, otherwise he would have rushed up uncontrollably. In the end, Gabi, Emma and a few girls sent a lot of clothes in, and they walked out together.
When they saw the starry night sky, they all hugged each other and cried with joy. Because most of them have been locked up for more than half a month, and the longest has been three months.
When Robert's father saw the group of children gathered around Leo, he looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was already excited inside. He was the first to come to the warehouse, and the first to see the tragic condition of those people at the scene. At the time, he really couldn't believe that this was all done by a little over 6 years old. He still didn't know much about Leo and them before, thinking that they were just a little smarter than ordinary people, and he didn't know that their bodies had also been modified together.
Seeing Leo's performance today, his opinion of this group of children completely changed, and it also made him determined that he must cultivate this group of children well. He didn't expect this group of children to be used by him when they grew up, but his dedication to the children would definitely leave a good impression on them, as long as the Robert family needed their help in the future, they didn't refuse immediately, and if they could help them, his efforts would be worth it.
When Leo opened his eyes, he saw a person lying next to his bed, who had long black hair, delicate and smooth skin, and long eyelashes that moved and moved, indicating that her master had not slept well.
"Sister Xiaolan, how could she sleep next to my bed" Leo thought to himself, his actions woke up Xiaolan, who was not asleep in the morning.
Xiaolan opened her originally bright, but now somewhat red eyes looked at Leo who had woken up, and asked with concern: "Are you awake, is there anything uncomfortable in your body?"
He said, "I'm sorry, but I caused you to go through such a dangerous thing," and his eyes turned even redder, and tears instantly welled up from his eyes. She was really guilty, and if she had been a little more vigilant, she wouldn't have been caught, and Leo wouldn't have almost died. When she knew that Leo had gone through several life-and-death struggles, she was really frightened, and if Leo really died because of her, she would not have the courage to live again.
Leo was startled when he saw Xiaolan crying, and hurriedly reached out on her face to help her wipe away the tears on her face.
Xiaolan grabbed Leo's hand to help her wipe her tears, put it on her face, and said to Leo: "Leo, don't take any more risks for me, I don't want to lose you because of me, promise me that I won't do such dangerous things again in the future, don't scare Sister Xiaolan anymore, okay?"
Leo didn't withdraw his hand, he also liked this kind of touch, Xiaolan's face was slippery, and he didn't want to leave her face. Of course, there is no love between men and women, it is all sincere expression and natural expression.
Leo smiled and said, "Actually, you can only blame me, it's me who can't come out inside, so you will wait for me outside." I promise it won't be like this again, and from the moment I knew you were caught, I swore I'd never let you get hurt again. I'll protect you in the future, I promise. ”
Xiaolan hugged Leo hard, she was moved by Leo's words again, she also secretly made a move in her heart, and she would also use her life to protect Leo in the future. Leo also hugged Xiaolan, his face was still rubbing Xiaolan's face, and said to Xiaolan with a smile: "Sister Xiaolan, your face is really slippery." Xiaolan looked at his clean eyes and joked: "Are you bad at learning, you didn't look at those women without clothes yesterday." And you've seen them do that kind of thing. After saying that, his face turned red.
Leo shouted: "It's not what I want to see, it's that they keep dangling in front of me, shaking, and my head is dizzy." ”
Xiaolan continued to tease Leo and said, "Are you sure you were stunned, not stunned?"
Leo hurriedly said, "I swear, I was stunned, not stunned." ”
At this moment, Anna, who heard a voice in the room, also walked in, and was relieved to see Leo jumping around on the bed.
When Leo saw that it was Anna coming in, he opened his arms and said, "Come on, future daughter-in-law, let me hug me."
Anna pouted and said, "I don't admit who your daughter-in-law is."
Leo continued: "It's okay if you don't admit it, Sister Xiaolan can testify, you promised to be my daughter-in-law, just hug it, I hugged Sister Xiaolan just now." ”
Anna was not convinced, but she still came over and hugged Leo tightly, saying, "You can't do such a dangerous thing in the future", Leo listened to Anna's words, and his heart was also moved. But Anna's next words were to extinguish the little flame that had just touched him a little.
Anna then said, "You have to promise that you will take me with you next time there is such an exciting thing." Three black lines instantly appeared on Xiaolan and Leo's heads.
The matter was finally settled, and Daisy was able to go back to work with peace of mind.
Dr. Christmas Eve also returned from his lab, dressed as Santa Claus, and said that he had prepared a Christmas present for everyone, which would be delivered to everyone tomorrow morning. Daisy too, and Robert and Gabby also stayed in the villa tonight, waiting for the next day's gifts. They had a great time playing late at night.
The next morning, all of them received a laptop as a Christmas present. Including Daisy, everyone asked the doctor curiously when he was so rich. The doctor smiled: "These are all prepared by Robert's father for everyone, he said to thank everyone for their help, and said that he would support us free of charge in the future, until Mason is 18 years old." ”
Robert didn't know about this either, and asked in surprise: "My dad really said that, that's great, now the doctor doesn't have to worry about running out of money, and his research will go more smoothly." ”
Everyone else is happy, and although they don't have much idea about money yet, it's always a good thing not to worry about running out of money, and each of them has a laptop. Gibson happily said, "With this laptop, I don't have to wait for a few minutes for that broken computer to turn on." ”
After Christmas, Daisy left the villa and returned to her apartment. When she returned to her apartment, she always ran into a young man named Tom who asked her about her cousin Anna.
She also knew that it was Anna who played a joke on him on a whim. Daisy could only say that her cousin had returned to her original city, and that she would contact him if she came to play in the future. That's how he was sent away, or he would have been harassing Daisy.
On this day, Robert and Gabby came to the villa together, and with them came a middle-aged man who looked very capable.
Everyone was very curious about the origin of the middle-aged man, but Robert didn't introduce it to everyone right away, and everyone knew that Robert would not harm everyone, so they all held back their curiosity and didn't ask.
Everyone still sat on the sofa in the living room, and the middle-aged man also sat on the side and didn't speak, just listened to their conversation.
Robert spoke first: "In the past few days, I have thought a lot about it, for our first collective action, although the result was quite satisfactory, there were too many mistakes in the process, Xiaolan was arrested, and Leo almost died. All of this shows that our first collective action was in fact a very unsuccessful one.
I don't know if everyone has thought about it, but I have thought about it a lot, so I will tell you my thoughts first. First of all, I acted as the commander in this operation. The investigation of the other party's movements was not in place, and it was not found out that Charlie would come to the pizzeria on the same day, so he took action. Secondly, when Charlie appeared, I didn't make a calm judgment, I just quickly asked everyone to retreat, there was no order at all for the retreat, and I didn't know if one less person didn't go back.
Also, when we knew that Xiaolan was arrested, we didn't take any effective measures to remedy it, if we could have found a way to stop them at that time, so that they didn't drive away so smoothly, we could also drive to follow them and find their warehouse earlier, maybe there would be no desperate struggle for Leo. Robert did feel very ashamed and guilty about his performance that day, and as the organizer of the action, he really didn't do what he should have done, putting his companions in danger.
The others listened to Robert's words and began to reflect on their mistakes, and for a moment everyone stopped talking, and the living room fell into silence. After a while, Gabi spoke: "I should review the most, when I saw Charlie appear, my mind was blank, I was nervous and scared, and I ran to Emma without doing anything but to report to everyone." After that, I couldn't do anything but hide in the car. As she spoke, she grabbed Xiaolan's hand, her eyes were a little red, and she continued with a slight choked voice: "If I could have calmed down at that time, even if I blocked them a little, maybe Leo would have been able to come out safely, and Xiaolan would not have been arrested." I'm sorry Xiaolan, but I caused both you and Leo to suffer. ”
Xiaolan hurriedly comforted Gabi and said: "Sister Gabi, how can I blame you, it is the first time we have encountered such a thing, everyone will be nervous, and besides, we ourselves are also at fault, and we can't put the blame on you." I'll just go on and say that on the day of the operation, I was too alert to put myself in such a dangerous place. While everyone was retreating, I stayed there by myself, thinking that I could help Leo, but it turned out to be a burden. ”
As soon as Li Ao heard that Sister Xiaolan was arrested because of him, he quickly stood up and said: "Actually, I was the most responsible that day, it was I who didn't listen to the command and was greedy for merit, which put everyone in danger, and even more so that Sister Xiaolan was caught, I promise never again." As he spoke, he looked at Xiaolan with guilty eyes.
Everyone knows in their hearts that this operation almost caused serious and irreparable consequences, not because of a certain person, but because everyone has problems, and it is the concentration of things that makes things so complicated. After Leo finished speaking, everyone fell silent again, and they all saw their own shortcomings in this operation.
