Chapter Seventy-One: The Old Man's Machine

Huo Yan stood on the side of the road, frowning slightly, staring at the taxi in the distance, until the taxi merged into the traffic and could no longer be seen, then turned around and walked back.

"Let's go, go back to eat, I guess the buns are cold." He said to Ning Shuyi.

Ning Shuyi retracted his gaze and kept up with Huo Yan's pace: "I was a little puzzled last time, I thought he was a little too personal and detailed when he inquired about you.

At first, I thought it might be because I was too old, I didn't think it through so thoroughly, and I lacked a sense of boundaries.

As a result, he came over again today, and named you by name, which is not a matter of boundary sense.

I thought you would send him again, and by the way, also find out about this old man's identity information and so on, and turn passive into active. ”

"There's nothing to inquire about." Huo Yan's expression was faint, and he didn't seem to be enthusiastic about this matter, "We can all guess that he may be someone who is related to me."

Although I don't know how he found me and found me, when I was a baby, my family had chosen to abandon me at the door of the welfare home, and no one had ever looked for me there for so many years.

Now when I come to the door, I just feel that I have changed from a burden to a person who can bear the burden.

Although I crave family affection, I am not enough to quench my thirst, and I even want to hold on to this utilitarian 'feeling'. ”

Ning Shuyi had to admit that what Huo Yan said was still reasonable.

Although she has never encountered this kind of thing, nor has she witnessed it with her own eyes, she has seen some similar social news.

It is nothing more than that due to various unavoidable factors, the family chose to abandon the newborn baby, or directly discard it at the door of someone else's house, the door of the welfare home, or give it to others to raise.

Twenty or thirty years later, or even longer, the abandoned children had a future, and the direct blood relatives who had been absent came to the door, crying bitterly, regretting the original "helpless move", and forcibly establishing a blood relationship with the abandoned children who "broke the bones and connected the tendons".

In this kind of thing, others may be able to stand on the moral high ground and say something that does not hurt or itch, such as "blood is thicker than water", but only the person concerned will be hurt a second time because he was abandoned and then rubbed with oil.

So since Huo Yan's attitude is so clear now, of course Ning Shuyi won't say anything more.

"I guess it was the incident when you helped the little boy who was almost abandoned by his biological father find his family." Ning Shuyi thought of a possibility, "That evening newspaper published your photo, and also introduced your work unit and name.

Later, in the publicity activities arranged by our bureau, there were also pictures of you showing your face, although there are not many, but it is not difficult to see clearly.

If you look very much like one of your relatives, and the other party has a guess, so they come to you to probe your tone and see if it is possible that they were ...... in the first place."

Ning Shuyi didn't finish his words, and felt that it was a bit cruel to say "the child they abandoned at the beginning" in front of Huo Yan.

"So overexposure isn't a good thing." Huo Yan smiled mockingly, and did not continue to talk about this topic, "Let's go, eat!" ”

Luo Wei didn't know the relationship between the old man and Huo Yan, seeing that the two of them came back soon, they seemed to be in a calmer mood, and they didn't think much about it.

Qi Tianhua had already come back at this time, and it seemed that he had heard something from Luo Wei, and when he saw Huo Yan and Ning Shuyi coming in from outside, he also smiled at Huo Yan and nodded, somewhat with a bit of cheering.

Huo Yan bought too many buns, and in the end, Ning Shuyi tasted almost every taste, and the rest also solved the food of almost all the colleagues in the team who stayed to work overtime.

"Huo Yan, this bun is not cheap!" A senior in the team didn't know what was going on, and joked, "Next time, you invite everyone to eat steamed buns, how cost-effective it is to buy the canteen directly!"

These stinky boys can't eat fine chaff, you buy such exquisite buns to greet everyone, but it's a big loss! ”

Huo Yan silently glanced at Ning Shuyi: "It's not a loss, it's worth it." ”

Ning Shuyi's gaze was still on the computer screen, but the two earlobes were visibly red.

At noon the next day, the identity of Tong Chujun's ex-boyfriend was finally confirmed.

This person's name is Lu Zhibao, 28 years old this year, a native of W City, currently working in an electronic city, as the store manager of a small mobile phone brand.

And this small mobile phone brand was originally specialized in copycat mobile phones, in recent years, it has changed, and found a compromise between smart phones and non-smart phones"1.5 generation", the target group is those who don't understand smart phones, and the elderly who have needs for some functions of smart phones.

Compared with other big smartphone brands, the market for this small brand is obviously much narrower, and the income level of practitioners is naturally not much higher.

Originally, this was not a particularly noteworthy thing, but with Lu Zhibao's signing a job, the whole thing became a lot more interesting.

This person's previous job was in the after-sales service center of a well-known brand of mobile phone, as a maintenance engineer responsible for inspecting after-sales service products that applied for after-sales service due to failures.

And the salary of this job is much higher than the sales of elderly machines that he is currently engaged in.

Whether it is from the technical level, or from the actual job income and career prospects, Lu Zhibao's track change is quite unusual.

Subsequently, Lu Zhibao's personal situation was excavated in depth, and soon new discoveries were made.

"Look at the address of the house in his name." Ning Shuyi turned the screen to Huo Yan and reached out and tugged at his sleeve.

Huo Yan turned his head and saw the address displayed on the screen clearly.

He has always had a strong sense of orientation, whether he is looking at a map or looking at navigation, as long as he walks the route once, not only the route itself, but also some surrounding areas can be remembered clearly.

So as soon as he saw the address, he immediately reacted: "This place is ten minutes away from the scene of the crime, ten minutes by car, ten minutes by battery car, and more than half an hour on foot." ”

Ning Shuyi thought about it, looked at the time, got up and went over to find Zhao Dabao, who had just come back from outside, discussed a few words with him, and came back and said to Huo Yan: "I asked Zhao Dabao to check this Lu Zhibao's consumption records for a period of time before to see if there is anything else to discover."

Let's observe him for a day, this job is too, don't call him. ”

Huo Yan agreed, and the two of them immediately set off, calculated the time, drove straight to the electronic city, pretended to be idling, and went around the floor of Lu Zhibao's new work unit.
