"I want to tell that kid that he thought the whole world had abandoned him, but there was another person who endured three months of captivity in order to save him, and also lost his nature forever."

"Isn't that kid dead?" Li Nanyan's face was expressionless, "A dead person doesn't need to know this." ”

Lu Chengyu's voice was extremely low: "The maid may have lied, and the dead baby found may not be the child, maybe the child is still alive." ”

Li Nanyan's face instantly turned cold, and a layer of anger slowly rose from the bottom of his eyes: "What if you're still alive?" Chairman Lu, do you think that just because of what the third child did, that child should be grateful to Dade? Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors? Let the family kill him again? ”

Lu Cheng met Tongren in the dark and deep, and said warmly: "Of course not, that kid has the right to hate everyone, and he has the right to take revenge on everyone, but he also has to know that there is another person who is innocent." ”

Innocent? Li Nanyan's tight jaw suddenly loosened, and a chuckle overflowed from his throat, but those smiles were as cold as ice, revealing boundless cold.

He slowly straightened his waist: "Chairman Lu's story is very vivid and exciting, and it passed my boring lunch time. As a token of appreciation, why don't I tell you a story as well? ”

Lu Chengyu's expression didn't change much, but in the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be some emotion tumbling, and he nodded: "Listen to me." ”

Li Nanyan sat down in his seat again, the two faced each other, and there were two cups of coffee on the table in the middle, and the mellow aroma filled the entire box.

Someone opened his mouth lightly and told another interesting and uninteresting story, and even the beginning used the same language as Lu Chengyu's story: "Once upon a time, there was a child, he was born less than a month ago, and he was sold to a couple who had been married for many years but were infertile. ”

Lu Chengyu's eyebrows flickered, was he sold?

Li Nanyan's pupils were not shocked, silent and cold, without any emotion: "Not long after the child came to the new family, his wife became pregnant and gave birth to a biological son, so the child was sold to another infertile couple by the couple for 10,000 yuan. ”

In just a few months, the infant child did not have time to experience the love of his parents, so he moved into three families.

This time he was not resold and lived with the family until he was two years old, but when he was two years old, the couple took him on vacation to Paris, where he was abducted by traffickers, this time he became the son of a bachelor. The bachelor was an alcoholic, and when he got drunk, he beat him, and he forgot that it was the first time he had escaped death with a stick. ”

"A completely strange country, a completely strange family, violence and fear, is the child's entire childhood."

Outside the window, it rained at some point, and the dripping raindrops kept falling, and the pedestrians on the road were disrupted by the sudden rain, and they covered their heads with their hands and trotted to the eaves of other people's houses to shelter.

Although it rained, the sun was still there, but the sun was covered with a layer of haze because of these few rains.

Lu Chengyu's eyes moved to the window, but what he saw was not the rain, but many years ago, in another country, countless dying and struggling children, a trace of coldness slowly grew in his heart.

The bachelor is not the end of the child's tragic fate, Li Nanyan continued the story slowly and slowly: "Three years later, the bachelor married a woman. ”

"The woman did not like children, and on a snowy night with goose feathers, she threw the child out of the house with the bachelor and forbade him to come back - he was abandoned. In order not to freeze to death, the child joined a circus, and at the age of five, he was tricked by the circus director into signing a deed of sale with no human rights. ”

A deed signed by oneself is like a shackle that locks up all the freedom of the child.

In fact, in those days, the deed of sale was already illegal and not protected by the law at all, but the child did not understand, and the head of the regiment threatened him, even if he went to the police, the police would not help him, and would help him catch him.

He was so frightened that the luster in his eyes completely dimmed, and it was a color of despair.

"In the circus, he had to do all kinds of training every day that exceeded his physical load, and if he made a mistake, the head of the troupe would lock him up with the lion all night."

Lions are trained not to bite, but they will roar at their children, as if they will pounce on them and tear them apart in the next second. The child could only curl up in a corner, as far away as possible from the behemoth, a little farther away......

Li Nanyan closed his eyes, and a light appeared in his mind, and in the light and shadow, an equally immature child turned to him and smiled.

"The boy met a boy who had been trafficked in the circus, and the boy was very kind to him, secretly giving him half a loaf of bread when he was punished and starving, and giving him a stick to defend himself when he was locked up with a lion – it was the first time in five years that the boy had been so kind to him."

Half a loaf of bread, a stick, insignificant, but these are the only kindnesses that a five-year-old can have.

Li Nanyan got up and walked to the window, the rain had stopped, and the afternoon sun was all over the city, so hot that people couldn't feel a trace of warmth.

"And then?" The coffee at hand in Lu Chengyu's hand was already cold, and the black coffee had precipitated a richer dark color, like a swamp that contained all the sins.

And then? Li Nanyan smiled without a smile: "Five years later, the child and the boy finally found a chance to escape from the circus, but they didn't run far, the head of the group led someone to chase after them, the two ran separately, the boy was caught up by the head of the group, and the head of the group beat him to death." ”

"The boy was lucky enough to avoid the regimental commander, and when he went back to look for the boy, he saw his body abandoned on the side of the road."

This is the end of the story, and the silence in the box is once again restored.

Two very different stories, without specific characters, just replaced by simple titles, sound completely different, but on closer inspection, it seems to be the story of the same person.

Li Nanyan took a sip of coffee, the coffee was already cold, and the cooled coffee had no mellow taste, leaving only a bitter mouthful.

Remembering something, he raised his head again and added: "There is another ending - after another five years, the child has the ability, he pushed the bachelor and his wife into the river on a night that was also snowing heavily with goose feathers, and he stood on it and watched them freeze to death little by little. ”

Lu Chengyu's eyebrows twitched slightly, five years later? The child was only fifteen years old......

"He also found the head of the circus and threw him into the wild, where he saw him being eaten by tigers, lions and other wild beasts."

After saying this, Li Nanyan looked at the man sitting with a smile, he maintained the initial posture, and the dark layer of fog in his eyes covered all his changes, so that people could not see his emotions clearly.

"Chairman Lu, this story is over, I have a question for you - who do you say is the most innocent in the story?"

Who is the most innocent?

Is it the first couple to have a biological son and not have children?

Is it the second couple who bought a child but did not take good care of it, resulting in the child being abducted?

Is it a bachelor who is addicted to alcohol and often beats his children? Or a woman who tried to freeze her child to death?

Or is it a circus leader who tricks children into signing a deed of sale and abuses children?

Of course not, innocent, children who have been displaced since birth.

From one year old to ten years old, he was still a child, and he had just learned about the world, and the world gave him full of malice.

Lu Chengyu did not answer his question, but revealed the identity of the characters in the story, and he said almost firmly: "You are that child, the boy who was beaten to death by the circus director is the real Li Nanyan." ”

Li Nanyan bent his lips silently and drank the coffee completely.

Lu Chengyu speculated about the future: "Li Nanyan treats you like a brother, so he told you his identity, and after he died, you used his name and identity to go to the Ivanov family." ”

Li Nanyan put down the empty coffee cup, smiled faintly and said, "Chairman Lu is thinking too much, it's just a story, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"That's thinking too much." Lu Chengyu said, "According to the earl, if the child in my story is the same person as the child in your story, what will that child do next?" ”

Li Nanyan's answer was still watertight: "I'm not that kid, how do I know what he will do next?" ”

Lu Chengyu stared at him: "He didn't even let go of the bachelor couple and the circus director, and he must have caused him the source of these misery, that family, he must not let go." ”

"Probably." Li Nanyan's voice was light, "But Chairman Lu, instead of caring about a story, it is better to care more about your own situation." With Lu's current situation, if Chairman Lu doesn't take any measures, I'm afraid it won't work. ”

Lu Cheng didn't move: "So I asked the earl to have this meal today, just to ask the earl to raise his noble hand." ”

Li Nanyan responded to all changes with the same: "What does Chairman Lu mean by this?" I don't understand. ”

Lu Chengyu smiled awe-inspiringly: "Everyone thinks that Xiao Chen caused the Lu clan to be in this situation today, I'm afraid Xiao Chen himself thinks so, probably no one knows, if it wasn't for the earl secretly fueling the trouble, how could the Lu clan come to the end of the road so quickly?" ”
