As soon as Lu Yao came out of the door of the classroom, he saw the head teacher Yang Linchi standing not far away and waving to him.

"Lu Yao, come to my office, I have something to tell you!" Yang Linchi shouted.

Although the two were not close, Lu Yao could see that Yang Linchi's face was not good-looking, and he thought something was wrong.

Lu Yao didn't dare to delay, and trotted to follow.

"Close the door!" As soon as I entered the office, I heard Yang Linchi say: "Lu Yao, Lin Jiayi and you have been sitting at the same table for almost two years now, right?" ”

"Well, since the first semester of high school, she transferred from another place, we have been sitting at the same table, and now it has been a full year and nine months, what's wrong Teacher Yang, is Lin Jiayi sick?" Lu Yao watched Yang Linchi talk about sitting at the same table with Lin Jiayi as if asking, and immediately remembered the words of the gossipy boy before the exam, and couldn't help asking.

"Well, yesterday afternoon, Lin Jiayi's father called and said that Lin Jiayi was sick, and the illness was more serious." Yang Linchi said after glancing at Lu Yao.

"Teacher, do you need me to do something?" Lu Yao asked.

In fact, Lu Yao knew that although Lin Jiayi was sick, the teacher should have come forward, but now that Yang Linchi called him to the office, he obviously had some things to arrange for him to do.

"Yesterday after school, I went to their house with Director Li, but unfortunately we were not able to see his family and Lin Jiayi herself." Yang Linchi didn't hide it, and said directly: "This morning, the principal came to me and asked me to arrange for someone from our class to visit Lin Jiayi, so I want you and Han Dong to go to Lin Jiayi's house first to see if there is anything you need help with?" ”

"Well, okay, I know, I'll go to Han Dong now, and then we'll go right away." Lu Yao didn't ask the reason anymore, and nodded in agreement.

"There are a few hundred yuan here, you and Han Dong go to buy something, and go in the name of class condolences!" Yang Linchi said and took out a few hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao didn't push back, put the money in the pocket of the school uniform, and said, "Teacher Yang, then I'll go!" ”

"Go ahead!"

……

……

"Lu Yao, you said that Lin Jiayi was fine yesterday, why is she sick today?" After leaving the school gate, Han Dong asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, I heard this news no more than a few minutes before you!" Lu Yao replied.

"You sat at the same table with her, and it was so difficult that you didn't find any clues?"

"This ......, there really isn't." Lu Yao said: "You also know that Lin Jiayi is a well-known ice beauty, although we are at the same table, but we don't have too much contact!" ”

"Yo, our Lu Da Shentong also knows the word "ice beauty", I thought you only had learning in your eyes! Han Dong listened to Lu Yao's words and said jokingly.

"you!" Lu Yao said with a smile.

With doubts in their hearts, the two of them carried the fruits, milk and other condolences they bought near the school, and walked in the direction of Lin Jiayi's house according to the address given by Yang Linchi.

Half an hour later, the two came to a villa area according to the address given by Yang Linchi.

Lu Yao glanced at the environment around the community and found that there were only a few villas in the entire community, and in addition to the safe passage, there was only a gate where they were standing now.

There is no community style sign on the gate, but there are two guards on both sides standing there without moving, and Lu Yao found that they were all holding guns in their arms, looking at the posture, it was obviously loaded, not like an ordinary community, the guards were just equipped with some simple protective equipment such as electric batons.

"My God, this is like a military forbidden zone, how could Lin Jiayi's family be in such a place, we shouldn't have gone wrong!"

Han Dong also noticed this and said in surprise.

"It shouldn't be wrong, let's go and ask!" Although Lu Yao was also surprised in his heart, he still calmly pulled Han Dong's arm and said.

Lu Yao and Han Dong walked towards the guards at the door, and before the two of them could walk up, one of the guards came over and stopped the two of them at the door about ten meters, and said in a very standardized tone: "Don't approach here, please leave quickly if there's nothing to do!" ”

"Hello, we're looking for Lin Jiayi!" Hearing the other party's inquiry, Lu Yao lifted the fruit in his hand and showed it to the other party, and then replied.

"Do you have an appointment, if not, call her to come out and lead you in, this is a place for the leader to rest, and idle people can't go in and out casually!" The guard said.

"Brother guard, we are all students, we don't have a mobile phone, and we don't have Lin Jiayi's phone number, so there is no way to contact her, can you please give Lin Jiayi a message, just say that her classmates Lu Yao and Han Dong were entrusted by the head teacher to come to see her?" Lu Yao said politely.

"Wait a minute!"

The guard looked at the age of the two people and the school uniforms of the No. 1 High School in Shuangta City on their bodies, and did not embarrass them, said a few words into the headset, and then stood there and stared at the two of them.

Although it looks like a student, it has to be guarded against, who can guarantee that the bad guys will not disguise themselves as students!

Lu Yao and Han Dong were also very cooperative, standing there carrying fruit and milk, waiting quietly.

About ten minutes later, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron maid came, came over and said a few words to the guard, and then said to Lu Yao: "You are Lu Yao and Han Dong?" ”

"Yes, Auntie."

"Yes, Auntie."

The two replied in unison.

"My husband has explained, you can go in with me!" After the maid finished speaking, she led the two of them towards the villa area.

Lin Jiayi's villa is located in the center of the whole community, and the other villas are like defenders to defend this villa well.

When the three of them arrived at the door of the villa, the maid told them to wait for a moment, then opened the door and fell in.

Standing at the door and waiting for a while, Lu Yao also looked around.

Romantic and solemn temperament, round arched windows and corner stonework, high entrance hall and magnificent door, full of grace and luxury, the garden is full of all kinds of flowers and plants, some Lu Yao knows, but some he has not even seen in books.

The fragrance of the flowers and plants in the sunlight can be smelled throughout the villa.

After a while, the maid opened the door and came out, handed each of them a pair of handmade coarse linen slippers, and led them into the door towards the living room.

Lu Yao looked at the whole hall and did not have the magnificence he imagined, no expensive furniture, no extravagant decorations, only some flowers and plants of similar varieties as decorations in the garden, in short, this gave people the feeling that it was a little out of place with the specifications of this villa.

But even so, it still made Lu Yao feel very kind and warm.

On the sofa in the living room sat these four middle-aged people of about the same age, drinking tea and talking about things, and no one noticed their arrival.

"Mr. Lin, Xiao Jia's classmate is here!" The maid said to a middle-aged man with her back to Lu Yao.

"Got it, Aunt Qiu, go get busy!" The middle-aged man replied.

It turned out that the maid's name was Aunt Qiu, and Lu Yao also hurriedly said to Aunt Qiu: "Thank you, Aunt Qiu!" ”

"You're welcome!" Aunt Qiu nodded politely at Lu Yao and the others, turned around and walked towards the kitchen, obviously going to be busy with her own business.

After Aunt Qiu left, the middle-aged man known as Mr. Lin, who should be Lin Jiayi's father, said a few words to the other three, and the three of them politely said hello and got up to say goodbye.

It was only at this time that Lu Yao saw Mr. Lin's true face.

He is about 1.75 meters tall, wearing a white shirt and light gray dress trousers, wearing a light blue tie with a small checkered, his facial features are very delicate, his eyes are not big or small, his nose is slightly raised, maybe because of his social status or work, his skin looks very white.

If it weren't for being called Mr. Lin by Aunt Qiu before, it would be hard for Lu Yao to imagine that such a person would be Lin Jiayi's father, because he looked like he was in his early thirties.

However, Lu Yao always felt that he should have seen this person somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while!

"You two are Jiayi's classmates, right?" Mr. Lin walked slowly towards the two of them and asked with a gloomy face.

"Hello Uncle Lin, I heard that Lin Jiayi is sick, and we were entrusted by the head teacher to come to visit." Lu Yao didn't lose his politeness because the other party's face was not good-looking, and said with a smile: "My name is Lu Yao, his name is Han Dong, and we are all Lin Jiayi's classmates!" ”

"You are Lu Yao?" Mr. Lin paused slightly when he heard Lu Yao's name, but people of his age quickly adjusted their state, and then said: "I heard Director Chu of the Education Bureau talk about you, this time the Xinlu Provincial High School Third Year Sprint Exam can be described as a blockbuster!" ”

"I'm just a little better than before, but Lin Jiayi is really good, and being able to score more than 700 points in the exam is not something that ordinary people can do." Lu Yao said with a smile.

"It's just a little bit better than before, isn't it? I've heard some bad news! Mr. Lin continued to say with a stiff face.

"But in the end, the school recognized my results!" Lu Yao still behaved very politely.

Mr. Lin saw that Lu Yao behaved very naturally, and he was even more curious about him, this Lu Yao was young, but his speech and demeanor were not at all like what a person of this age should be.

Although he has just been transferred to the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Shuangta City for a short time, he has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, and he has seen a lot of people of all kinds, and he has seen many talented young men like Lu Yao who became famous overnight, but none of them can think that he can still be very self-contained when he deliberately behaves very unkindly.

"My name is Lin Yuandao, I am Lin Jiayi's father, thank you for coming to visit my family Jiayi, please take a seat!" Lin Yuandao also showed a smile at this time, and greeted the two of them very politely.

"Lin Yuandao?" Lu Yao listened to the other party's introduction, and suddenly remembered that the new secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Shuangta City was this name, although Lu Yao had always been very calm, even if the other party was a little difficult, he was not surprised, but when he heard the other party's name, he still showed a trace of surprise.

"It's like a fake!" Lin Yuandao said with a smile.
