Chapter 169: Interrogation
The exhibition hall began to be crowded, and people from all walks of life continued to shuttle among them, some talking and laughing.
Lu Yuchuan straightened the coat on his body, walked to Zhongyi's side not far away, stopped within three steps of her, glanced at her condescendingly, and sneered: "You are really good, dare to come here alone!" ”
Zhong Yi's body stiffened, followed the sound and turned his head mechanically, his eyes were flat on the denim jacket in front of him, which looked extremely abrupt in a group of suits, moving up slightly, and suddenly met Lu Yuchuan's eyes with a layer of cold ice, and his heart trembled, it's over, I will meet him here! I can't hide from the catastrophe when it comes.
The American brother standing opposite Zhongyi, looked at Lu Yuchuan who was about to eat her with suspicious eyes, and his vigilance rose when he boarded, and then looked back at Zhongyi, who was constipated, and asked her in broken Chinese: "Zhongyi, do you know him?" ”
It's not just acquaintance, it's almost familiar that I've already formed a bond in my previous life.
Zhong Yi coughed a few times unnaturally, looked away weakly, looked at the American brother with a vigilant face, showed a standard Chinese smile, and did not intend to introduce Lu Yuchuan, who was about to eat her, and casually said: "Acquaintance." Hehe, I'm a little inconvenient now, and we'll talk next time. "If she doesn't drive people away, the two lines of sight behind her can burn her through.
The American brother's vigilant gaze looked up and down at Lu Yuchuan, who was dressed very casually, and noticed the offensive gaze, Lu Yuchuan raised his eyes slightly, and looked back with an oppressive and threatening gaze, like a lion showing its claws and fangs to the invaders who invaded the land, issuing a warning.
The American brother frowned, the other party's gaze made him uncomfortable, but when he saw that the other party's hostility was obvious, he turned his head to Zhong Yi and said, "No problem, then I'll go over there first, goodbye." ”
"Goodbye."
"That's it. Isn't it time for us to talk, favored! Lu Yuchuan moved slightly, standing back to the place where the American brother was standing just now, his voice was lazy and casual, and the tail note was raised, which made people even more unable to hear the emotion.
"Brother, what a coincidence." Zhong Yi subconsciously grabbed the strap on his chest, his eyes wandered around, but he didn't dare to look at him. Knowing that Lu Yuchuan appeared here at this time, he must have nothing to do with her, and when he thought of the email threatened by Xin Rui, could it be that everyone really regarded her as a "runaway" to arrest her and go back to pay errands, right?
I knew that I would meet him, she might as well not choose Los Angeles at first, the United States is so big, there is always a place for her to go.
But there has always been a doubt in my heart, how did Lu Yuchuan know that she was here? In the past few days since she came to Los Angeles, she has been avoiding Lu Yuchuan to avoid the chance of meeting him, and she didn't even go to watch his university, all of which seems to be a coincidence but there are too many doubts.
Could it be that Lu Yuchuan brought his own satellite scanning......
"Unfortunately, I came to you on purpose." Lu Yuchuan hooked the corners of her lips, and her eyes locked directly on her eyes that she didn't dare to look at herself. I want to see how long you can last, but my brother has time to play with you.
"Looking for me? Are you sure you want to talk about personal issues in such an setting? Zhong Yi looked innocent, but in his heart he kept planning how to save his life and calm Young Master Lu's nameless fire.
Now it seems that saving the life is the most important thing.
Lu Yuchuan's face darkened a little when he "brushed", the hand in his pocket was clenched into a fist, resisting the urge to knock her down without a punch, his tone changed, and he smiled with bad intentions: "If someone's evil deeds don't want to be known by Ah Sheng, be honest with me." ”
Oh, even Xu Huaisheng moved out. Zhong Yi's body was stunned, and he laughed dryly, and his brain was running fast, how to make him shut up obediently without angering Lu Yuchuan. The hand subconsciously touched the wallet on his side, and there was a blunt knife cutting her flesh at the time, and everything that can't be solved with money is not money!
"I confess, I am lenient."
A trace of cunning flashed in Lu Yuchuan's eyes, his frowning brows stretched slightly, and the coldness that suddenly dropped around his body also subsided a lot, but he didn't intend to let her go like this: "If you dare to be clever, I will definitely not hesitate to throw you into the Pacific Ocean!" ”
Zhong Yi looked down at the upper of his shoes, and walked out of the photography exhibition hall behind Lu Yuchuan without saying a word, and his heart was so nervous that a layer of dense fine sweat appeared in his palms.
The summer temperature in Los Angeles is not as high as in the small town, the temperature of about 20 is just right, and a gust of wind blows, gently drying the thin layer of fine sweat in her palms, which is cool.
The question that had been lingering in my mind almost blurted out. How did Lu Yuchuan know that I would appear in the photography exhibition hall? Obviously I haven't contacted him?
"Brother ......" Zhongyi took a deep breath and loosened the hand that was loosely placed at his side into a fist, ready to summon her "plan" one by one.
Feeling that the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated non-stop, Lu Yuchuan glanced at her, took out the mobile phone, glanced at the name of the caller ID, and slid down the answer button and put it in his ear: "Hey? Professor William. ”
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little urgent, but the tone was very serious: "Lu, you go back to the laboratory immediately, there are very important things to deal with!" ”
"But...... Professor William, this is my holiday. Lu Yuchuan frowned, and his voice was extremely low.
"Lu, the situation in the lab is very bad, you must go back to the lab immediately."
"I see, I'll go to the lab." In an almost compromised and helpless tone, Lu Yuchuan hung up the call with Professor William, pinched his eyebrows with one finger, and asked in a dumb voice: "Where do you live?" I'll send you back. ”
Alas? Isn't it interrogated?
Although Zhongyi was confused, he still honestly reported the address of the apartment. The corners of Lu Yuchuan's lips hooked, revealing an inexplicable smile, and said in a strange manner: "You weren't stupid enough to spend money on the hotel, I thought you would live on the streets." ”
Zhong Yi glanced at him, not as knowledgeable as him.
Lu Yuchuan sent Zhong Yi back to the apartment, and before leaving, he didn't forget to warn her that he would come over again, and the new and old accounts would be counted together.
Looking at Lu Yuchuan's posture, he would never let her go if he didn't interrogate her clearly, in case he was going to be unhappy, and when he went back, he would add fuel and vinegar to the process of explaining the matter, Zhong Yi could imagine that Zhong Mu would definitely peel her.
Xu is a thief with a weak heart, knowing that he has caused a big disaster and feeling guilty, Zhong Yi didn't go anywhere in the afternoon, and obediently sat on the sofa in the living room and waited for Lu Yuchuan to come over to interrogate her again.
The long wait is the easiest to smooth out people's patience, and Zhong Yi anxiously paced back and forth in the living room, and the carpet under her feet was about to be trampled back and forth and deformed. She was like a prisoner in a small room of less than ten square meters, with no light around her, only a window, and a faint light shone in like alms, waiting for arraignment without knowing the time.
At 7:40, I drank the last glass of cold water, got up and ran to the kitchen to pick up another glass, half-leaned on the counter, raised my head and took a sip, drank so quickly that I almost choked, and coughed violently with a red face.
After replying to Xin Rui's email, it was already 8:20, and Lu Yuchuan still didn't show up for a long time. She sorted out her thoughts, and even planned for the worst, such as Lu Yuchuan directly pulling her home and having a three-class trial.
At 8:45, the doorbell rang.
Zhong Yi took a deep breath, leaned into the cat's eye and glanced at who the person outside the door was, and after seeing that the other party was Lu Yuchuan, he removed the anti-theft lock, unscrewed the reinforced lock, and opened the door.
Ten minutes later, Zhong Yi was sitting on the single sofa, his hands were clenched into fists on his lap, and Lu Yuchuan was sitting on the coffee table opposite her with a dark face.
"Why can't I get through on my phone?"
"It's off when there's no power."
"Why did you run away from home and go to Los Angeles?"
"I'm on a graduation trip, and it has nothing to do with running away from home. ”
Do you know how much heart and manpower the whole family has spent on your so-called "graduation trip"! It's added a lot of trouble, waiting to be cleaned up. "He was arraigned like a prisoner. There is only one wall lamp in the living room, and the dim light fills a small square world, adding a touch of eerie atmosphere to the grim atmosphere.
Zhongyi lowered her eyes, wrung her fingers, and couldn't spit out a word for a long time, she didn't know that because of her temporary willfulness, she had caused so much trouble to everyone.
The police station repeatedly failed to search for people, and finally Commander Lu almost mobilized the police force of the entire town, quite a posture of digging three feet into the ground to find people.
In the end, it was not implemented. Lu Yuchuan got the news from Xu Huaisheng and went to Los Angeles, and deduced from the travel itinerary he told him that he had a lot of effort to find her.
If she wanted to break her head, she couldn't imagine that the first person to betray her itinerary would be Xu Huaisheng.
Lu Yuchuan had a calm face, glanced at the ostrich-like Zhong who had been bowing his head, picked up his mobile phone and walked to the balcony, dialed a transnational phone, and waited for the phone to be connected within ten seconds, Lu Yuchuan calmed down his irritable mood, scolded and scolded, and was too frustrated to hold on to her faults.
After the phone was connected, Lu Yuchuan simply reported to Zhong's father and mother that they were safe, and their hanging hearts finally relaxed, and they kept asking Zhong Yi on the other end of the phone how was his current situation? "Mm-hmm, I've found her. Didn't live in a hotel, rented a homestay, everything was fine. ”
Lu Yuchuan whispered into the receiver of his mobile phone and explained that he hoped that everything was fine, so that they didn't have to worry about it, he was here, and they would go back in a few days.
Zhongyi has been in the same posture for nearly half an hour, her neck is very sore, she raised her hand to press the back of her neck, and her eyes inadvertently glanced at Lu Yuchuan, who had been standing on the balcony with his back to her, the phone had already hung up, and her arms were on the railing, looking like she was worried.
She withdrew her gaze and pressed her other hand over the back of her neck. Lu Yuchuan opened the glass door of the balcony and walked in, his face was no longer angry, replaced by his usual hippie smile, "Have you eaten dinner?" Would you like to go down and get something to eat? ”
He spent the afternoon in the laboratory, staring at the progress of the experiment for several hours, not even bothering to eat lunch and dinner, and was already hungry.
"There's ingredients in the fridge, do you want noodles?" Zhongyi stood up and walked to the open kitchen, opened the refrigerator door and took out two tomatoes and placed them on the counter.
Lu Yuchuan raised his eyebrows, there was no room for picky eating when he was hungry.
In the end, the two solved two bowls of steaming noodles, which was the first authentic Chinese food that Lu Yuchuan had eaten in the past six months since he came to Los Angeles, although the taste was too far away.
"We'll go back next week."
Zhong Yi silently cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, put them in the sink, turned on the faucet, and the sound of rushing water sounded in his ears.
"Oh."
