Chapter 72: The Pain of Cutting the Skin
"Thank you, and one more thing."
"You say."
"Don't talk to Yi Xia about me giving you shares."
"Why?" Jiang Xiage was puzzled, "I can't wait to record what you just said and hold a commendation meeting, why do you want to deliberately hide it?" What a pity. ”
The wind gradually became biting, and Luci's cheeks ached.
"I'm doing this to make her happy, not to show off, and if the end result is the opposite, it goes against my original purpose of doing it."
Jiang Xiage laughed again, but the tone of his voice suddenly became serious: "Xifei, don't worry, I won't sue her." ”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiage couldn't stand the text at hand, and crossed her fingers on her chin, she remembered the scene when she first saw Lu Xiyu in Puda. In her freshman year, the professor of the professional course was sick and took a leave of absence, and the substitute teacher was not a teacher, but a student who was the same age as her, and this student was not from the business school, but from psychology.
Boys at that age were in the period of adolescent restlessness, and when they saw beautiful girls of the same age, they couldn't hold back their excitement, but unexpectedly, none of the students in the class by Lucy were heckling, and everyone listened very seriously. It was from that moment that Jiang Xiage found that there was an inexplicable deterrent power in her, which made everyone willing to surrender to her, she was like a white lotus, which could be viewed from a distance and could not be blasphemed.
Jiang Xiage likes to be friends with people who are smarter than herself, since she was a child, so she began to take the initiative to approach Lu Xifei. Just like her cold temperament, Lucy is not sociable with people, so even though she is born with a beautiful face, she is not very popular in school. But Jiang Xiage likes her very much. Because she is a person who has no scheming and no city.
Jiang Xiage has been burdened with the fate of becoming the successor of Chenghuai since she was born, and in her future life, she must experience deceit, open guns and plots, this kind of responsibility has made her a person who is quite deep in the city, but the more such people like to get along with people who have no scheming, so they will not be too tired.
Lu Xifei is a person who deserves to be seriously cared for by others. This is the conclusion that Jiang Xiage has come to that they are not close friends, at most they are closer than alumni and farther away than friends, but no matter how long time passes, whenever they think of Lu Xihua, Jiang Xiage still feels like a breeze blowing on his face.
After making a phone call with Jiang Xiage, Lu Xifei returned to the hotel, in order to prevent Meng Liuchen from playing sexually, she did not bring Meng Liuchen to the meeting, and Meng Liuchen naturally did not dare to force it, they made an appointment at home, accompanied by Mavis and another agent in a flat suit and leather shoes who lived in a relatively less prosperous area of Washington, and the apartment only had two bedrooms and one living room, giving people a sense of crampedness and isolation.
It seems that she has not had a good time over the years.
"Huh." Smiling, a little bitter, she pointed to her face, "My life was completely ruined ten years ago. Do you know how much money I spent to get this face now? ”
The accident ten years ago made the originally beautiful and delicate unrecognizable, over the years, she has spent almost all her money on appearance restoration, where is the spare money for her to pursue a better material life?
"It's been ten years, and every single day I've wondered, what the hell did Jesse say to you? Carolyn, what did he tell you? ”
That day, Lu Xifei was in a very bad mood, as the leader of the criminal psychology research team, that day was the day they agreed in advance to go to the suburbs to report the research results, but when they came to their senses again, it was no longer on the mountain, but in a closed secret room on all sides, in that secret room, except for Lu Xifei, all the members of the research team.
Mavis and the others looked at Lu Xifei, this case is still a mystery to this day, and no one knows what happened.
Lucy vividly remembers the day she woke up with her hands and feet tied and thrown in the corner.
When she opened her eyes, there was an infinitely magnified and terrifying face in front of her, and he said to himself, "Nice to meet you, my lovely genius girl, Caroline." ”
Realizing that it was only himself who had been kidnapped, Lucie's hanging heart relaxed slightly, but fortunately it was only himself, not his companions. But for the first time, when Jesse pulled her up and pulled her to the screen, she looked at her panicked friends locked in a secret room in the surveillance, and she felt fear for the first time.
"Don't be afraid, lovely girl. I am sure that in the near future, a valiant knight will charge into battle and save you. ”
"Sure enough, it's a calm girl, why don't you say a word, you won't be afraid at all, right? It's okay, I'm sure, you'll have a reaction right away. ”
Looking at the car parked not far away outside the window, Lu Xifei knew that it was the FBI people and the police, but he didn't seem to be scared at all, he walked to his device and shouted into the microphone: "If you take one step closer, everyone will follow me, and all the fun will be over!" ”
His voice spread out with the announcement, the kidnapped were some young boys and girls, hearing him say this, they were all frightened and hugged each other, and the people outside naturally did not dare to act rashly, Jesse glanced at Lucy, and then continued in a gentle tone: "Silver, except for you, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
It was only then that Jesse saw the panicked expression of Luci Fei, who had been unfazed, and heard her say to herself, "No! ”
Jesse stepped forward and pinched her chin and looked at her ambiguously, "Yes, dear, Mr. Knight has come to save you." ”
The nightmare began at that moment, and at the beginning, it lasted for a whole decade.
"If I could, I'd rather die with them than be the only lucky one alive on this ridiculous scale!" Looking a little sad, she was very excited, her eyes were filled with tears, and she held her forehead with both hands.
"Unique?" Lucy asked with a frown.
Didn't the people who survived that accident have a brother besides that?
Mavis's pupils dilated, and he was a little flustered at first at the silent movement, but quickly regained his composure, made a casual appearance, and wiped the tears from his face.
The living will always be more painful than the dead. For more than 3,000 days and nights, she dreamed back at midnight, and she thought that she would be buried in the fire with them back then, and she didn't want to live and suffer like this.
The credibility of what a person says when he is out of control is as high as 99 percent, and Lu Xifei does not think that belongs to that percent. The events of that day suddenly replayed in front of her eyes like a movie, as if the place she was now was not Washington, but the unfinished building where she was ten years ago, and the person in front of her was not the same Jesse with a mouth and fangs.
Thinking of what he had promised Meng Liuchen, Mavis took the initiative after discovering Lu Xifei's abnormality: "Caroline's complexion is not very good, I think we should go back first." ”
"How long are you going to delay?" Standing up like crazy, his eyes flushed with bloodshots, "Ten years, ten years!" Haven't I waited enough! ”
"Mavis......" The agent who came with her sighed as he remembered what the team leader had said to him, "I also think that there is no need to drag it out. ”
Lucy sat in place, clenched her fists, calmed her mood and hated her like this, she hated it since she used to be in school, she was always like this, she looked indifferent to everything, as if nothing could stimulate her, thinking of her partner who died ten years ago and sobbing, don't overdo it.
"Jesse, he's an extremely insecure person with low self-esteem." Thinking of the scene where Jesse kept calling himself a genius, Lucy knew that the kidnapping case was aimed at him, "I think it was because of his family, which caused him to lack love." So he worked very hard in his studies, and he could only use guò in this way to gain a sense of existence and eliminate his inferiority complex. ”
Mavis exchanged glances with the agent, who nodded. The detective said: "Jesse's mother is a third party, and his father is a famous doctor in the town at that time, at that time, it was a very shameful thing for a woman to get pregnant before marriage, so Jesse's mother was very excluded by everyone, Jesse was smart by nature, but because of his life experience, he was not accepted by his peers, and his mother also became very autistic and irritable in years of depression, and often put fire on Jesse. ”
Jesse was a man of the year in college, and he thought he could finally get rid of his dirty past and start his life again, but who knew that an honor student suddenly appeared and once again robbed him of his halo and made him return to his inferiority complex.
"We think, Jesse, that he is jealous of someone who is better than him, and this, as Caroline says, stems from his deep inferiority complex."
The boy who replaced Jesse had a car accident, but this did not make Jesse's temperament better, but the jealousy became stronger, in his opinion, he should be God's favorite, no one can replace him, so he began to look for a peer who had some attainments in psychology, and Lucy was unfortunately his target.
Jesse's despicable character is due to his mother's influence on him, his mother is the first person he came into contact with, her words and deeds, and her attitude to life will naturally have a qualitative impact on Jesse, her mother is already a person with extreme inferiority, how can Jesse be confident, this is the "Anima" mentioned by Lucy Bloom before - men's femininity. "But why should we bear this qiē?" Road.
- You're distracted.
- Silver is waiting for you.
"Fred, I don't think we should continue to embarrass this poor girl."
In fact, Mavis knew that Luci's heart had been shocked by the time she said the only two words, and she began to doubt the life she was experiencing, but she still had to calmly say the terrible memories.
When she received Meng Liuchen's call in the morning, Mavis was working on a case outside, and she heard Meng Liuchen's serious tone: "Please, you must not let my sister be stimulated in any way, and you must not let her know that the eldest brother is no longer there." ”
"Yes, Mrs. Lu's request?" Mrs. Lu was referring to Helan Qiubai.
Meng Liuchen snorted: "The death of the eldest brother has become a fact, and the sister-in-law doesn't want her sister to be hurt in any way." As the victim of the year, Lu Shuye's family, and as the younger brother of the victim Lu Xifei, I also hope that you can find out the truth of the matter while trying not to hurt my sister as much as possible. ”
In the car, Mavis looked at Lu Xihua's side face, a little sad. No matter what Lu Shuye did back then, he was indeed the one who dared to charge into battle, and he was an indispensable hero.
It's not that Lucie is not brave enough, but that he is too brave and too rational. If it wasn't Luci who experienced this back then, but someone else, how many people would choose to bury this terrifying memory forever? And how many people will choose to take the initiative to face this nightmare after finally returning to a normal life? It is not so much that Lu Xifei is trying to untie the knot in her heart, but that she wants to give all the victims the truth on this day ten years later.
Indeed, it is good to be alive, and that is because most people have not yet experienced the catastrophe of life and death.
Some people live in search of more beauty and eternity in life.
Some people live to wait for a truth and untie their hearts.
But there are people who live, are tortured again and again every day, feel the pain of the skin, and use their desperate life to repay the debt that can never be repaid.
