Chapter 196: Behind the Glitz
When Li Wujie returned home, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. When I opened the door, I saw Ying Tianao and Chen Yanshan, one holding a child and sitting on the sofa. The two children were lying on their shoulders, apparently asleep, but their little hands were clutching the sleeves of the adults' coats and refusing to let go.
Through the wide pajamas, Li Wujie saw the bruises on the children's wrists, and his face became very ugly.
"I'm sorry, no...." Ying Tianao looked at Li Wujie's heartbroken gaze, and apologized to himself.
But halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Li Wujie: "I can't blame you for things that no one can predict." Tianao, don't blame yourself anymore. ”
Li Wujie knows Ying Tianao's character very well, and the children have suffered so much, his heart must be even more uncomfortable.
"Tianao, what Wujie said is very right, you don't blame yourself. Didn't you bring the children back safely, too? That's enough, that's enough. Although Chen Yanshan was comforting Ying Tianao, listening to her tone was more like comforting herself. Judging from the way she was holding Yan'er, she was also frightened by this incident, and she couldn't wait to stay by Yan'er's side every step of the way.
Ying Tianao listened to the comfort of the two people, nodded silently, and did not say anything more. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the living room fell silent.
I don't know who Lu Dao and who sent the ** text message, You Poyu, stood up abruptly and stretched his waist, saw that Li Wujie also nodded indifferently, and then said to Liu Longxiang: "Cousin, he's back, can we go?" ”
Liu Longxiang and Li Wujie glanced at each other, and when they saw the latter nodding, they said goodbye to You Pojiao and left.
Not long after the two left, Chen Yanshan also got up and said goodbye. After reluctantly sending Chen Yanshan out of the door, Ah Shen ran to the balcony again, and waited for Chen Yanshan's figure to completely disappear into the darkness before he walked in three steps and turned around.
"Hey, you're not going to let me live here, are you? It's so small, so broken, I can't get used to it. After Chen Yanshan left, Ah Shen began to evaluate the house where he had been staying all afternoon.
Li Wujie rolled his eyes and said very unhappily: "I can't stop it!" It's been an afternoon at TMD, what have you been thinking? Are you just thinking about picking up girls? ”
"Phew! Don't think of people as dirty as you, okay? I'm in love, do you know what love is? Besides, I didn't treat you badly when you were in Rome, you can't let me sleep in the living room or share a bed with you, can you? Ah Shen looked at Li Wujie with disdain, as if Li Wujie was a miser.
The corners of Li Wujie's mouth twitched, and he said with some annoyance: "Didn't you invite me, okay?" If it weren't for Chen Yanshan, would you invite me to live in such an expensive and luxurious hotel? Okay, stop talking nonsense, I'll sleep on the couch, and the room will be yours. ”
Saying that, Li Wujie got up and walked to the bathroom, ready to wash up and sleep. Before entering the door, he turned his head and said to Ah Shen, "Don't forget the purpose of my request, remember our conversation that day?" Don't patronize pickle girls, take care of it in advance. ”
A sneer rose at the corner of Ah Shen's mouth, and he said murderously: "Don't worry! I'll deal with this right away. ”
"That's good!" Li Wujie nodded, closed the door and went to wash.
Early the next morning, Li Wujie had just finished washing up and was about to prepare for the branding early. I heard the sound of the key coming from outside the door, and then a dejected and emaciated Jojo walked in.
She didn't see Li Wujie on the side at all, she sat on the sofa with blank eyes, looked at the TV in a daze, and suddenly choked up and cried.
"Silly girl, what's wrong? Lost in love? Li Wujie sat down beside Qiao Qiao, put his arm around her shoulder, and asked softly.
Qiao Qiao looked at Li Wujie with teary eyes, was stunned, and then cried loudly: "Brother, you... You're finally back! Brand... I've been kidnapping her, and I've been looking for her for days, but I still haven't heard from her. Brother Tianao won't let me call you, it's been so many days, but what should I do! ”
Listening to Qiao Qiao's exhausted cry, Li Wujie couldn't wait to give himself two slaps. Why did you forget to inform Qiao Qiao last night, this girl is still so worried. Looking at this appearance, it must have been looking for it all night.
"Jojo, that's... That one... It's been found yesterday, so don't worry. Li Wujie didn't know how to explain to Qiao Qiao, did he tell her that he forgot to inform her yesterday? Then she's going to go crazy.
"Found it? Where is it? Qiao Qiao wiped a handful of tears and asked urgently.
"Be quiet, that girl is sleeping in the house." Li Wujie lowered his voice and said.
Jojo suddenly jumped to his feet and shouted as he rushed to the room, "I'll go see her." As soon as he finished speaking, the man rushed into the room.
Qiao Qiao's fiery temper made Li Wujie very helpless, and muttered in a low voice: "If anyone marries her in the future, he will be regarded as having done too much in his previous life due to lack of morality, and he will be considered to have fallen into blood mold in this life." ”
The buns had just been put into the steamer, and the white porridge was also covered with pale cyan rice flowers, but Qiao Qiao's eyes were swollen and he walked into the kitchen.
"Brother, where is the murderer who kidnapped the brand? Are you locked up? Jojo gritted his teeth and asked with a vicious look.
Li Wujie cut the shredded potatoes like a cloud, which was prepared to be used for cold dishes for a while. He replied in surprise, "Why are you asking this?" ”
"The wrists are all like that, I'm going to cut them off." Qiao Qiao said with red eyes.
Li Wujie sweated for a while, and hurriedly turned around and comforted him: "Silly girl, the brand is also my brother's sister, do you think they kidnapped the brand, and I will lock them up so politely?" The gangsters are estimated to be dead, and your Tianao brother is holding back his anger, and it is only fitting that they become the target of anger. ”
"Then I'll ask Brother Tianao." Qiao Qiao walked out of the house angrily.
Li Wujie slammed the kitchen door and asked loudly, "What do you want to ask him?" ”
"Where is the corpse of the gangsters, the old lady wants to whip them, dare to tie up my sister, it's really tired and crooked." Jojo yelled frantically.
Li Wujie shuddered and hurriedly chased her back. With a straight face, he said: "Nonsense! It's not enough to kill people, people are already dead, what are you going to do? You give me the memory that the debt is dissolved. Do you dare to mention it to me again, believe it or not? ”
Qiao Qiao shrank his neck in fear, no longer being ruthless just now, and muttered in a low voice: "Brother Tianao is really, killing them with a knife is too cheap for them." Look at the branded wrists, you should hang them for a few days. ”
"Shut up, you! Hurry up and wash your face, they have become little flower cats. A girl's family, why is she so sloppy. Hurry up, wash up and get ready to eat. Li Wujie slapped Qiao Qiao on the back, and the latter stuck out his tongue and walked into the bathroom.
Fifteen minutes later, Li Wujie turned off the fire and walked to the room where he was burning.
I saw that this little girl shrunk into a ball, a pair of small hands grabbed the corners of the quilt, and shouted something indistinctly. The nervous look was obviously a nightmare.
"Burn, wake up. It's time for breakfast. With tears in his eyes, Li Wujie gently patted his branded little hand.
The little girl opened her eyes in a daze and looked at Li Wujie, who was close at hand. Half-asleep, she rubbed her eyes fiercely, and when she saw that she was not dreaming, she screamed happily. The decibel of that sound was about to tear off the roof.
"Brother, I miss you!" The brand wrapped his arms around Li Wujie's neck, and tears dripped down Li Wujie's shoulders.
Gently patting the brand's back, Li Wujie whispered: "Don't be afraid of branding, wherever my brother goes in the future, he will take the brand." ”
Brand pushed Li Wujie away, smiled like a pear blossom, but stubbornly shook his head and said, "No, brand must cultivate well." In the future, I will protect my brother, protect Yan'er, and protect everyone. I don't want my brother to worry about me, I want to protect myself. ”
"Branding is really sensible." Li Wujie rubbed his forehead with tears in his eyes and asked, "Are you hungry?" My brother made you your favorite bun, do you want to eat it? ”
Burning happily jumped out of bed and shouted excitedly, "I want to eat, I want to eat." As he spoke, he patted his little belly and said exaggeratedly: "Brother, I think I can eat a cow now!" Hee-hee-hee, I went to wash up. Pulling on her bear slippers, she rushed out of the room in high spirits. Seeing Qiaoqiao, whose hair was still wet, the two hugged each other happily, and then Qiaoqiao went to wash up with the brand.
At breakfast, in the face of the sudden extra blonde guests, Jojo and Branding just nodded politely, and then introduced their names.
As for Ah Shen's self-introduction, the two little girls probably didn't even listen to a word. After all, Li Wujie has too many strange friends, and if he sees a lot, he is no longer curious.
And Ying Tianao still couldn't get rid of the shadow of self-blame, he was still surprisingly silent at breakfast, just kept branding vegetables and wiping his mouth.
In the half month near the end of the year, Li Wujie did not go to work again. Every day, I either take Qiaoqiao and Branding to the street to buy New Year's goods, or I take two little girls to play crazy.
But just as this festive year approaches, there have been many assassinations and official downfalls in the Yanhuang Galactic Federation.
First of all, Mao Yinfeng, chief of staff of the Eastern Military Region, Wu Zhe, deputy commander of the Eastern Military Region and commander of the Linhe Galaxy Military Region, Luo Qingjing, deputy planet commander of the East China Sea Star, Ma Wannian, deputy head of the East Sea Star, and Li Qing, deputy chief of the East Sea Star Police Department. and a group of five people were suspected of embezzlement and bribery, abuse of power, and were involved in a child kidnapping case, and were dismissed by shuanggui.
For a time, Donghaixing became the cusp of the storm, and the headlines of every newspaper were Donghaixing's political earthquake.
But the residents of the whole federation had not yet recovered from the shock, and the next day there was a bombshell news that shook them.
In the Imperial Capital Galaxy, which is 108,000 light-years away from the East Sea Star, there have been multiple homicides in a week. The worst family was wiped out, and even the guard dog was killed.
And these assassins all have one thing in common, that is, their identities and backgrounds are very unusual. Among these deceased, the most famous guy is called Ye Yanzhao, who is a well-known big man in the Imperial Capital Galaxy.
Speaking of this Ye Yanzhao, Chen Yanshan's ability to make a name for herself in the Northern Galaxy also has a lot to do with him. Chen Yanshan, who had just been widowed, was caught by this northern young man at a glance and pursued it hard.
Chen Yanshan, who was so annoyed, found Ye Yanzhao and asked to bet with him. The bet is very simple, Chen Yanshan will sleep with Ye Yanzhao if she loses, and if Ye Yanzhao loses, she will go back to the north.
As a result, the northern young man was disgraced, and he rolled back to the imperial capital galaxy with a disgraced face. Ye Yanzhao, who is immortal in the heart of a thief, has released cruel words in the Imperial Capital Galaxy, and anyone who dares to pursue Chen Yanshan will become his enemy.
And on this trip to Rome, Li Wujie was in the hands of his godfather Tang. Vito learned an unknown secret from his mouth. That is the death of Tang Yannian and his wife, and it is inseparable from this northern youth.
Because the Roman ambassador at that time was promoted by Ye Yanzhao's father.
