Chapter Ninety-Six: To My Mother!
Zhou Xiao looked at the pile of information and felt upset, and was impatient with the vague sense of restraint without filling in a few words, he put down the pen and said to Bai Qi that he would go out to eat first, and then come back to fill in these after eating.
It happened to be noon, and Bai Qi was also hungry from the two pieces of dried fish in his mouth, thinking that it would be too late for Zhou Xiao to fill in the information in the afternoon and send it, so he agreed.
Bai Qi said that he now wants to eat grilled fish, and there is a special grilled fish restaurant in the downtown area, and he is a regular customer.
"I'll go back to my room and change my clothes, and you go talk to your dad." Bai Qi said, "Let's see if he goes?" β
"Oku." Zhou Xiao saw Bai Qi jump off the ground and walk towards the door, and deliberately muttered in the volume that Bai Qi could hear, "I'll clean up the desk again, so that my dad won't find it over." β
"Hurry up." Bai Qitou didn't go out of the door again.
At this time, Zhou Xiao quickly got up and walked to the door, locked the study door, and then strode back to the desk, he quickly squatted down and pulled open the drawer at the bottom of the right side of the table, and took out the box containing the inhibitors.
Taking out the medicine bottle in the box, Zhou Xiao carefully pulled off the cork at the mouth of the bottle, first put the mouth of the bottle in front of his nose and sniffed it lightly twice, and then gently tapped the liquid attached to the mouth of the bottle with his index finger and put it on the tip of his tongue.
In the end, Zhou Xiao found that the inhibitors in this medicine bottle were as colorless and tasteless as water....
Zhou Xiao stared at the medicine bottle in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a few seconds, the corners of his mouth rose, and a low snort like a sneer came out of his nose.
After Zhou Xiao left the study, he came to Luo Wenmio's bedroom door unhurriedly, and was about to knock on the door, when he suddenly heard a message from inside... Faint sound of water.
Zhou Xiao's hearing is now keen, if there is no enchantment to block it, the few walls of the present world cannot prevent him from listening to the sound from a few meters away, and at this moment, he can clearly hear the sound of rushing water coming from Luo Wenmio's bedroom.
The first guess that popped up in Zhou Xiao's brain was that Luo Wenmio was taking a bath, and this guess made his lower abdomen tense instantly.
Zhou Xiao's hand that was about to knock on the door slowly put down, he stood in front of the door and calmed down for a few seconds, and then slowly put his ear closer to the door.
In fact, except for the faint sound of shower water, I couldn't hear any other sounds, but this monotonous sound contained too much content and pictures in Zhou Xiao's heart.
Gradually, Zhou Xiao felt that his breath was burning with it.
After a while, the sound of the water stopped, and the footsteps of Si Suo were heard inside.
Bai Qi, who changed his clothes and went out of the bedroom to go downstairs, saw Zhou Xiao standing sneakily in front of Luo Wenmio's door, and opened his mouth to ask, "Xiao Zhou, what are you doing there?" β
Zhou Xiao suddenly came back to his senses, then bent over and rubbed his calves, turned his head and explained to Bai Qi, "I was about to knock on the door, but my calf was a little cramped." β
Bai Qi walked behind Zhou Xiao and patted Zhou Xiao's shoulder, "I'll go downstairs first, hurry up." β
"I know Uncle Seven."
Then, Zhou Xiao straightened up and knocked on the door.
After a while, Luo Wenmio opened the door, looked at Zhou Xiao in front of the door and said expressionlessly, "What's the matter." β
Luo Wenmio's hair is still wet, a little messy but not embarrassed at all, his eyebrows are also wet, at this time as wet and black as hair, the face against the background is white and transparent, and it also looks extremely ascetic and transparent, he is wearing a bathrobe, the bottom of the bathrobe is just below the knee, revealing half of the slender and also snow-white calves.
Luo Wenmio felt that Zhou Xiao seemed to be looking at herself, her face sank, and she said again, "What's the matter?" β
Zhou Xiao replied, "It's almost noon, I'll go out for lunch with Uncle Seven, and Dad will come along." β
"No, I've already made an appointment." Luo Wenmio said lightly, "You guys go eat it yourself." β
Luo Wenmio was about to retreat and close the door after speaking, Zhou Xiao suddenly said jokingly, "Dad went to see someone, it was noon, and he took a shower." β
Zhou Xiao's question made Luo Wenmio frown, and then Zhou Xiao said, "Dad is going to see his girlfriend?" β
Luo Wenmio always felt that the smile on Zhou Xiao's face at this moment was very hypocritical, and the appearance of smiling meat without smiling always seemed to have other thoughts in his heart.
"What are you asking for?"
Zhou Xiao shrugged his shoulders, "It's nothing, it's just curiosity, then again, when will Dad find me a mother?" β
Luo Wenmio's face gradually turned colder, but she still said unhurriedly, "Oh? You lack mother's love, don't you? β
Zhou Xiao smiled and nodded, "Yes, there is a lack of maternal love, a lack of father's love, children who grow up in this environment are easy to go astray and go astray, won't Dad help me?" β
Luo Wenmio looked at the frivolous and sly Zhou Xiao in front of him, and smiled lightly, "I can't save it, I'm going astray, I will only kill my relatives with righteousness." β
The smile on Zhou Xiao's face froze, and then he smiled and said, "Dad is really cold-blooded and compassionate, you would rather sacrifice your small family to preserve everyone's spirit, the human race in this world should treat you as a living bodhisattva." β
If it weren't for sensing the spiritual power on Zhou Xiao's body and confirming that this was indeed Zhou Xiao, Luo Wenmio would feel that the man in front of him had nothing to do with Zhou Xiao at all.
Zhou Xiao's whole person has become frivolous and reckless, Luo Wenmio's explanation to himself is that Zhou Xiao has lived in the void in the past two years, and the reason for the influence of various factors may be the friends he has made, or it may be in a series of dangers, in order to survive, he has gradually become sleek and sharp, in short, Zhou Xiao at this moment has completely detached himself from his temperament two years ago.
In the past, Luo Wenmio could deter Zhou Xiao with a single look, and when getting along with Zhou Xiao, Luo Wenmio could really feel Zhou Xiao's awe of him, as well as the careful flattery, and Zhou Xiao's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, he could also completely see through it....
Now Luo Wenmio only feels that this Zhou Xiao in front of him is a reckless ruffian who deliberately wants to provoke him, not to mention wanting to control him again, he can't even see through him now.
"You're not too young, so let's move out when the job is stable." Luo Wenmio said with a calm gaze, "I will give you a sum of money, you can use it to buy a house and a car, and then you can earn your own expenses in this world." β
Zhou Xiao couldn't even maintain a fake smile, "Dad, is this going to drive me away?" β
"You can't follow me all the time." Lowen Mio said.
"What did Dad adopt me for in the first place?" Zhou Xiao said, "Is it because there can be no more war between the void and the present world now, so I have become superfluous?" β
Luo Wenmio didn't want to argue with Zhou Xiao about this kind of thing, he felt troublesome, and he also felt that with Zhou Xiao's current brain, he might not be able to listen to it.
"Zhou Xiao, if you are not satisfied with the arrangement here, I can directly send you back to the void." Luo Wenmio simply said coldly.
Luo Wenmio's words sounded like a threat to Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao's gaze swept over Luo Wenmio's pale lips, snow-white neck, and finally seemed to be able to see through the scenery wrapped inside through the thick bathrobe.
"I listen to my dad." Zhou Xiao squinted his eyes again and smiled, "I listen to my dad for everything, and I will do whatever my dad asks me to do." As he spoke, Zhou Xiao deliberately shook the lock ring on his wrist and smiled meaningfully, "After all, I am a slave raised by my father." β
Luo Wenmio slammed the door shut with a loud bang, and the faΓ§ade almost hit Zhou Xiao's face.
Zhou Xiao looked at the closed door in front of him, the green tendons in front of his forehead protruded, and the fangs on the side of his mouth slowly drilled out uncontrollably, at this time, Bai Qi downstairs suddenly shouted, "Xiao Zhou, why don't you come down yet." β
Only then did Zhou Xiao gather the anger on his body, and the fangs that showed half of the corners of his mouth slowly retracted.
-----------------
Luo Wenmio took a bath because when he went to the hotel to inspect the work in the morning, the female manager who followed him sprayed a heavy perfume smell, and he felt that he had some aroma on his body, which had been lingering between his noses, so he deliberately went to take a bath.
And the person Luo Wenmio made an appointment with at noon was Shen Yan, but in fact, Shen Yan took the initiative to make an appointment, and said on the phone that he had something important to discuss with Luo Wenmio.
After meeting, Luo Wenmio learned that what Shen Yan told him on the phone was that the so-called important thing was to suggest that he hand over the Boundary Gate in his hand to the top and let it be kept by the Otherworld Management Alliance.
"The meeting failed to convince me, and you were sent again in private." Luo Wenmio said coldly, "Is it because they think that if you have a little friendship with me, you can convince me?" β
"Mr. Luo, please understand our concerns." Shen Yan said with a pale face, "The Tongjie Gate is related to the life and death of this world, we ....."
"You've said these things many times, but I'm still saying that, the Gate of the Boundary has to be kept by me privately, and I won't be at ease if it is handed over to anyone except me."
"But this..."
"If you're here to talk to me about this, then our conversation can be over."
Shen Yan was silent for a while, and seemed to have let go of his attachment to the Tongjie Gate, and took a detour breath, and then said with a solemn expression, "There is one more thing I want to ask Mr. Luo for help, which is also what Minister Zheng meant." β
"What's the matter?"
"I would like to ask Mr. Luo to privately help us investigate a research project established a year ago, a research project called 'New Life Technology' invested by Chang's Group." Shen Yan said, "Minister Zheng suspects that this research project has the dislike of infringing on the human rights of the void. β
"You can't solve this kind of thing yourself?"
"To be honest with you, the establishment of this project itself was the idea of the above, and Minister Zheng applied for an investigation, but they were all rejected." Shen Yan said helplessly, "Asking you to come forward to investigate is also a decision that Minister Zheng and I discussed privately, and no one knows except me and Minister Zheng at present..."
As he spoke, Shen Yan took out a document in his briefcase and put it in front of Luo Wenmio.
"Mr. Luo, take a look at these first, these are all the investigation materials I collected at the request of Minister Zheng and related to the new life science and technology research project."
Looking at the information given by Shen Yan, Luo Wenmio's face turned cold after a while.
"If these are true...," Luo Wenmio said coldly, "I'm afraid I'm going to have to re-examine you humans." β
"The information is a bit ambiguous and needs to be investigated in depth." Shen Yan said, "But the ultimate goal of the investigation is to eliminate or remove the tumor, and I ask Mr. Luo to believe us." β
