Chapter 81: The ship sinks
On the same day, Lu Ao left Tang Yi and went straight home.
Halfway through, Lu Ao received a call from Tang Yi, saying that he had successfully arrived at the company. Lu Ao nodded, and he was relieved, at least everything was normal on Tang Yi's side.
However, as soon as he hung up Tang Yi's phone, Lu Ao's mobile phone rang immediately, and the person who saw the caller ID turned out to be his Shuyang father.
Lu Ao answered the phone and said hello softly, "Morning, Shuyang Dad, why did you call me suddenly, is there something wrong?" ”
"Lu Ao, where are you now?" Shuyang's voice was very heavy, and although his tone was peaceful, Lu Ao could sense that something was wrong in his tone.
"I'm on my way home, what's wrong?" Lu Ao felt it very keenly, and at the same time remembered what Ji Chen said last night, Lu Ao couldn't help but panic.
"It's nothing, let's talk about it in detail when you come back!" Shuyang sighed in a deep voice and said.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Lu Ao guessed wildly in his heart, he was afraid that someone in the family would have had an accident, otherwise Shuyang would not have reacted like this.
Hearing Lu Ao's difficult emotions, Shuyang took a deep breath and slowly spoke, "Don't worry, it's just that something happened in the gang, and we'll talk about it when you come back." ”
"Okay, I'll be right there." Hearing Shuyang say that it was a matter in the Rong Gang, Lu Ao temporarily let go of his nervousness.
It's just that what will happen to the Rong Gang, listening to Shuyang's tone, it seems to be quite serious.
Also, over the years, Rong Bang has been considered smooth, and even if something happens, it will be solved quickly. But this time, it was obvious that something that shouldn't have happened that would make Shuyang and them feel heavy.
Lu Ao sped up, drove all the way back, and when he arrived at home, he got out of the car and ran to the house.
In a hurry, he pushed open the door a little recklessly and walked into the hall, only to find that only Shuyang and Lu Ziqian were sitting there.
At this time, Shuyang's brows were furrowed, and he looked sad. Lu Ziqian is better than Shuyang, but his face is also calm, but when he saw Lu Ao coming, Lu Ziqian also showed a smile, "I'm back!" ”
"Hmm." Lu Ao nodded in a deep voice, came to Lu Ziqian and sat down beside them, looked at the two of them, and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
"Don't worry, listen to Shuyang slowly." Lu Ziqian raised his hand and signaled Lu Ao to be calm.
Shuyang took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his hand, bent down to pick up the lighter on the table, and lit it leisurely.
Taking a deep breath, Shuyang slowly opened his mouth, "The shipment to Europe a few days ago, you know, right?" ”
"Something happened?" As soon as he heard Shuyang talk about this, Lu Ao was immediately alert, "What's the matter, the goods have been checked?" ”
This is Lu Ao's concern, but in fact, Rong Bang has been on their fixed routes for so many years, and all checkpoints have been opened, so there is generally no such risk.
Sure enough, after listening to Lu Ao's words, Shuyang slowly shook his head and said word by word: "It's not that it's been investigated, but that the ship has sunk!"
"What?" Lu Ao was taken aback, "How can this be, how can a good ship sink!" ”
"Indeed," Shuyang sighed calmly, "but the fact is that the ship did sink, and this batch of goods was completely destroyed!" ”
"......" Lu Ao was full of solemnity, thinking in his heart.
Seeing Lu Ao's silence, Lu Ziqian owed his body, changed to a comfortable position and sat cross-legged, "I heard from the people below that it was the ship that accidentally hit the reef in the sea, which caused the shipwreck." ”
"I'm afraid it won't be that simple!" Lu Ao shook his head solemnly.
"Yes, we don't think it's that simple. Now, Boss Fu has personally dealt with it, and what he has to do now is to send someone to salvage the wreck, or go into the water to find out the cause of the wreck. Lu Ziqian shook his toes and said calmly.
"Dad......" Lu Ao suddenly spoke, looking at Lu Ziqian's solemn face, and said in a complicated tone: "This matter, it is very likely that Ji Chen did it."
"How do you know?" Suddenly, Lu Ziqian and Shuyang's expressions all froze, and they all looked at Lu Ao.
The expression on Lu Ao's face was a little unpredictable and a little unbearable, and after being silent for a while, Lu Ao told Lu Ziqian what Ji Chen said in the message.
"At that time, I thought about a lot of possibilities, but I really didn't expect Ji Chen to attack Rong Gang. If I had thought about it earlier, I might have avoided it. Lu Ao was a little annoyed and a little self-blaming, which was all because he thought everything too simply.
"No, it's not your fault!" Lu Ziqian pursed his lips, looked at Lu Ao and calmly analyzed: "Ji Chen can say this to you, which means that he has a complete grasp of what is going to happen next, even if you can guess and take precautions, there is no way to avoid it." However, from the information you provided, it is at least certain. ”
Suddenly, the expressions of the three people all became solemn, yes, Ji Chen would know about this matter in advance and planned this matter, which means that there must be Ji Chen's people on the ship.
"It seems that there are traitors inserted by Ji Chen on the ship, and it can also be said that there are traitors from the Rong Gang on the ship." This is a problem that the three of them are aware of, and if you think about it, this problem is more terrible than the sunken ship, and the consequences are more serious.
"I'm going to tell the boss about this, it seems that the gang really needs to do a thorough rectification." Shuyang finished the cigarette in his hand in one go, spit out a thick cloud of smoke, snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, got up and left.
Seeing Shuyang leaving, Lu Ao couldn't sit still, he was now a member of the Rong Gang, since Ji Chen had already made a public move and started shouting at them, he didn't have the reason to sit idly by.
He also has to investigate this matter personally, and at the same time, against Ji Chen, he must also have the means of confrontation.
"Dad, I'm over too, I'm going to check this matter myself." Lu Ao squinted his eyes fiercely and said coldly.
"Go ahead!" Lu Ziqian waved his hand lazily at him and motioned for him to let go.
So, Lu Ao left urgently to deal with this sudden event. Because of this, Lu Ao was busy with himself, and Lu Ao had no time to answer the phone call from Tang Yi.
Unable to get through Lu Ao's phone, Tang Yi was upset over there, sitting in his office, staring at the watch on his wrist, Tang Yi was full of complexity.
Hey, his arms seemed to be heavier at this time, and his wrists were so tired that he couldn't even move. Outside the window, two or three little girls were looking at him excitedly, staring at his wrists and drooling out.
But Tang Yi's mood was very bad, thinking about it, Tang Yi finally took the watch off his wrist and carefully put it in the drawer at hand.
Lu Ao's phone couldn't get through for the time being, it seemed that he could only keep the watch carefully, wait until he saw Lu Ao, and then return the watch to him.
It's just that Lu Ao seems to have been busy for a long time this time, and since Christmas, Tang Yi has not heard a trace of Lu Ao for several days.
At noon that day, Tang Yi called Lu Ao but no one answered, and it was very late at night that Tang Yi received Lu Ao's WeChat reply.
In the message, Lu Ao told Tang Yi that he had something important to do these days, and now that others were outside, he might not come back until he was done.
Tang Yi naturally expressed his understanding and support, and no longer bothered Lu Ao, but silently supported him in his heart and cheered for him!
At this moment, it was the last day of the end of the month, Tang Yi packed his things and prepared to get off work.
Tomorrow is New Year's Day, it is the beginning of a new year and a new day, Tang Yi has a three-day holiday on New Year's Day, he wants to get together with Lu Ao, or even go out for a leisure.
But Lu Ao was busy and had no time, and Tang Yi had no choice, so he had to wait patiently and find something to pass the time by himself.
On New Year's Day, Tang Yi got up early, looked at his mobile phone and still didn't have any news from Lu Ao, Tang Yi sighed a little disappointed.
During breakfast, Tang Yi suddenly heard his mobile phone ringing, Tang Yi thought it was Lu Ao's phone, so he put the spoon in his hand in a hurry, got up and went to get the phone.
After seeing that the phone displayed Shen Nian's call, Tang Yi's lost expression was obvious, but then he gently raised his lips and connected the phone, "Hey, Shen Nian!" ”
"Tang Yi, Happy New Year's Day! Do you have any arrangements for today, come out to play if it's okay, the two of us haven't been together for a long time, come out for a meal and a drink! ”
Shen Nian's warm invitation and excited proposal, Tang Yi also felt a little itchy in his heart when he heard it.
Since he discovered his thoughts about Lu Ao, he has actually been suffering every day, his inner thoughts are very complicated, and all kinds of emotions are full of emotions that are difficult to relieve.
In the past few days, there has been no news of Lu Ao, Tang Yi misses it and is a little worried. My heart has been depressed, and I originally wanted to go out for a walk, but there was an invitation from Shen Nian, so he naturally agreed.
On the same day, after meeting Shen Nian, the two came to a long-lost hug. Since Tang Yi changed jobs, he and Shen Nian have been a little far away, and they don't have time to meet when they are busy, so they feel very cordial when they see each other.
The two of them watched an art exhibition together, as well as a comic exhibition that young people like, and then watched a movie, and in the evening, the two of them sat on the roadside stall to eat and drink, although the environment was simple, the cold wind was biting, but there was a kind of nostalgic warmth, and casual chic.
That night, Tang Yi and Shen Nian chatted about the past, and talked about the current work, plus Tang Yi had secrets in his heart that couldn't be said, so he drank too much unconsciously.
When Shen Nian was shocked to realize that something was wrong with Tang Yi today, Tang Yi was already half drunk.
Shen Nian knew that Tang Yi's alcohol consumption was not large, and he was generally very restrained, so Shen Nian didn't worry about Tang Yi.
But now, when he reacted, he found that Tang Yidu had already drunk two glasses of liquor.
wanted to persuade him, but Tang Yi didn't listen to the persuasion, and continued to drink, until he saw Tang Yi's stunned but quiet appearance, his cheeks were red, Shen Nian secretly said that it was bad, Tang Yi was drunk.
was worried about how to take Tang Yi back, but saw Tang Yi's mobile phone on the table ringing, and seeing that Tang Yi was already drunk, Shen Nian had no choice but to answer the phone for Tang Yi.
"Hey ......"
