Chapter Eighty-Five: Nighttime Chatter
In the police station, on a row of benches, Chenyang and Laura sat together, as if waiting for something.
Originally, Laura only needed to come to the police station alone, but Chenyang took the initiative to come with Laura because of this plane mission, saying that he was worried about Laura.
Fortunately, it was not a big deal, there were no casualties, and a series of treatments were carried out.
Chenyang, worried that he would not have identification, did not recount the situation with Laura, but waited on the bench outside.
After a while, Laura walked out listlessly, saw the morning sun on the bench, and didn't seem to expect him to stay here, showing a somewhat stubborn smile.
Chenyang naturally noticed the change in her expression, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, her smile was gentle, and she stood up from the bench: "Laura, are you feeling okay?"
"It's okay, it was just an accident, I'm glad I met you, otherwise I might have been the same as my bike." Laura lowered her head and sighed, thinking back to her scrapped bike, feeling a little lost.
Then he raised his head and looked at Chenyang, he still had a stubborn smile, which made people feel a little distressed.
Chenyang didn't care, his eyes looked at the clock in the police station, and said softly: "Do you have anything else to deal with, at this time, maybe I can treat you to dinner."
Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged woman with exquisite makeup walked in outside the door, with some wrinkles in her smile.
Wearing a crimson trench coat, he looks quite capable, and he also looks vigorous when he walks, as if he is a senior person of a certain company.
As soon as the woman in the trench coat walked into the police station, she immediately walked to Laura's side, smiling, but her tone was a little helpless: "It's good to see you here."
It seems to be blaming her for doing such a dangerous thing, and it seems to mean something else.
Laura looked at the woman on the side, the smile on her face became even stronger, and replied with a smile: "Anna, you don't have to come on purpose, I don't need a guardian anymore."
Laura was more and more glad to have Chenyang's help, otherwise she might have been in the hospital when she saw Anna, or she might have been covered in green paint.
Her self-esteem refused her to face the woman in the trench coat in front of her in this image.
"Really?" Anna asked rhetorically, sat down on the bench beside her, and said, "What are you doing now, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Laura smiled slightly, with some sarcasm in her eyes and a flat tone, as if to explain a fact: "You never came to see me."
Anna was pushed back by her words, her eyes flickered a little, and she couldn't help but turn her head, as if she didn't know what to say more.
Laura also seemed to notice that her attitude was a little excessive, and her tone softened, "I'm sorry, thank you for coming over today."
The atmosphere between the two eased a bit, and Anna looked up at her and said, "What's going on today?"
Laura paused for a moment before deciding to speak: "I participated in a tournament and I really needed that prize money."
Anna's tone was a little helpless, and she denied: "No, you don't need to, there is a large inheritance waiting for you to inherit, as long as you are willing to stop......"
"I won't! Before Anna could finish speaking, Laura had already said her answer.
"It's been seven years, Laura. The Tokyo police stopped searching five years ago...... Your father's whereabouts. Anna recounted the past.
Standing up and sitting next to Laura, he took the initiative to move closer to her, his expression was a little gloomy: "Even the private investigator is reluctant to accept our commission, I know this is difficult to accept, but you really should come back and sign those documents."
Laura, who was still a little sorry for her words, suddenly showed a smile when she heard this, and there was some anger in her smile: "This is what you came for?"
"No, I'm here for you, think about what you can do for the world, with your potential, your wealth." Anna explained.
"It's his money, not mine." Laura's expression was stubborn, and she replied aloud.
"Listen, Laura, you should know that if you don't come back to sign the papers, all your father's hard work will be auctioned off, including Crawford Manor." Anna seems to be a little powerless against Laura.
With a sigh of relief, he asked softly, "Can you imagine what your father would think if you lost the manor?"
When Laura heard this, her eyes were a little evasive, as if she had thought of the situation that would arise after it happened.
Anna also noticed the change in her mood, and said in a slightly soothing tone: "Laura, your father has passed away, but you can complete his unfinished business, which is inherited by blood."
Laura had some thought in her eyes, as if she was really thinking about the meaning of Anna's words, and then shook her head slightly: "I'm sorry, Anna, I'm not the kind of Crawford family."
Anna sighed deeply, this time she really had no way to take Laura, and when she was about to leave, she noticed Chenyang standing on the side and looked at Laura: "This is your friend?"
Chenyang stood by and listened to all their conversations, learning something similar to what he knew, that Laura's father had gone missing during an expedition.
However, Laura at this age seems to be a little too stubborn, and is unwilling to accept her father's death, preferring to be alone than to sign the death papers of his father and inherit the inheritance of that huge fortune.
"Hello Ms. Anna, my name is Chenyang, I am a friend of Laura, and I helped Laura in the car accident today." Chenyang smiled slightly and said before Laura.
Anna nodded, showing a smile, and seemed not very interested in Chenyang: "Yes, thank you for saving Laura, we will have a chance to meet again in the future."
Chenyang smiled slightly, watched Anna leave, and said loudly: "I didn't expect to accidentally rescue you today, and I would hear such a thing."
Laura looked at Chenyang and asked a little puzzled, "What's the matter?"
"The rich lady has a lot of wealth in her hands, but she is willing to give up and live alone." Chenyang said a little teasingly, without any malice in his tone.
Laura didn't care, but was amused and said slowly: "Chenyang, you know what, you may be very suitable to be a comedian."
Chenyang smiled, looked up at the clock again, turned his head to look outside the house, and found that it was already dark: "It's not early, why don't I invite you to dinner."
Laura looked at the Asian-looking morning sun in front of her, and asked with some curiosity, "Oh? We just met, why did you think of inviting me to dinner? ”
"Because you're the first friend I've ever made in England." Chenyang looked at Laura tightly with his eyes and said word by word.
Ten minutes later, Laura and Chenyang sat in a Chinese restaurant.
Originally, Chenyang just tried it, and didn't think that he would have a chance to invite Laura to dinner, but he didn't expect Laura to agree.
Maybe it's because of her youth, she's a little different from Laura in other movies and games, and her personality is a little different in other ways.
This time, Chenyang invited guests to dinner, so he naturally found a good restaurant, and the two of them chatted while eating.
Mainly talking about the story of Chenyang, Laura seems to be very curious about Chenyang, perhaps because of his words and deeds, or because of his rescue today.
Because Chenyang has no identity in this plane, he naturally brags indiscriminately, telling Laura that he is a Chinese and likes to explore everywhere, walking through the Sahara and the Himalayas.
I just came to the UK today, and I happened to meet such an event, and by the way, I met Laura, a beautiful and special friend.
The two had a good conversation, and Laura even invited him to her residence, not worrying much that he would be a bad person.
When night fell, two people sat on the rooftop, each with half a can of open beer next to them, looking at the brilliant lights in front of them, they inexplicably seemed a little lonely.
Chenyang looked at Laura on the side, and found that her eyes were a little foggy, as if she was recalling the past, and couldn't help asking, "Do you think of your father?"
Laura came back to her senses in an instant, looked at the morning sun on the side, took a sip of beer lightly, opened her mouth, and seemed to hesitate: "My father, when I was very young, left me and went to a far, far away place, and as soon as he left, he never came back......"
Grabbing a delicate necklace in her hand, she whispered, "This is the last relic he left me, and I always wear it on my body."
Chenyang nodded slightly, and silently listened to Laura tell a long story, from her use of a bow and arrow when she was a child, to her father's departure later, to her current life alone, until she fell asleep.
The system's voice rang in my ears: "Friendship between the Planer and Laura increased: friendly." (The higher the friendship with the plane character, the easier it is to obtain quests and other hidden rewards)"
Looking at Laura, who was asleep, Chenyang's eyes rarely showed a touch of pity, just like seeing Lin Wan at the beginning, and gently picked her up and sent her back to the bed.
When she left Laura's house, she helped her with the door, stretched greedily, and prepared to find a nearby hotel for a good night's rest.
