Starting from you are my glory

"Why do you seem to have cried?"

Wu Jia was about to enter the community. Unexpectedly, Lu Anning was already standing at the door of the community with a cello on her back, looking forward to it. However, seeing the red circles in her eyes, Wu Jia couldn't help but asked: "It's so late, why do you want to do so?" Going out? Where are your parents?"

"My father works overtime, my mother works overtime, and I am the only one at home."

Lu Anning sniffed and complained dissatisfiedly: "You didn't even have dinner, so you left me money on the table."

"Oh, don't say so much. You just invited me to dinner at noon. I will treat you to dinner now!"

"Okay, it happens to be cold at night, so it would be nice to have some wontons or something." Wu Jia nodded and motioned Lu Anning to sit on the motorcycle, "Do you have a wonton stall or noodle shop that you are familiar with?"

"No." Lu Anning sat up and carefully grabbed Wu Jia's coat with both hands, "I don't think I've ever gone out to eat by myself before."

"That's fine."

"Sit down in the back and I'll take you to an old shop."

"This store looks really old!" After arriving, Lu Anning looked at the store's mottled exterior walls, the light bulbs on the old wires, and the dents on the steps at the door. , Wu Yi silently told Lu Anning that this store was probably much older than himself!

"I only found out about it when someone brought me here."

Wu Jia parked his motorcycle, smiled and shouted to the boss who was standing by the stove: "A bowl of noodles and a bowl of wontons."

"Bring me another small bowl."

Then he took Lu Anning to find a small table at the door, wiped the stains on the bench and table with tissue paper, "Just take a seat, this store is excellent except for the poor hygiene."

"Especially the chili oil fried by the boss himself." Wu Jia pointed to the chili dish next to the chopstick holder and swallowed as he spoke. This was a natural conditioned reflex of the body.

"If you can eat spicy food later, you can try it yourself."

“Extremely cool!”

"Then I'll try it later." Lu Anning was a little excited. Wu Jia's subconscious actions just now also made her look forward to this chili oil.

"One bowl of noodles and one bowl of wontons!"

While they were chatting, the boss quickly brought the things over and handed him a small bowl. Wu Jia took the small bowl, pulled out a pair of disposable chopsticks from the chopstick holder, and handed them to Lu Anning together.

"Try both and see which one you like better."

"I'll take care of the rest!"

"Can you finish it?" Lu Anning was still struggling with a small bowl. Hearing Wu Jia's words, he was surprised and said: "This is a lot of food!"

"I'm still growing, no problem!"

Seeing that Lu Anning was still reluctant to do anything, Wu Jia used a spoon to put some wontons into her small bowl. He took out a pair of chopsticks, put a handful of noodles into the small bowl, and then started adding chili oil like crazy.

"Eat." Lu Anning was mesmerized by the layer of red floating on it. Wu Jiake couldn't care less and just opened his cheeks and started to eat.

"Not bad right?"

While Wu Jia was breathing frantically, he took out a moment with difficulty and said to Lu Anning: "This store relies on this craftsmanship and this taste."

"It's really delicious." Lu Anning took two bites and agreed very much with Wu Jia's words. Then he looked at the plate of chili oil and Wu Jia who was constantly wiping sweat in front of him. After all, he still couldn't resist the temptation and added a little to his small bowl. Small spoon.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

“It’s so spicy!”

Lu Anning's face instantly turned red from the spicy food, and beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead. She looked like someone who didn't usually eat spicy food, but she didn't stop, and instead sped up her eating. At one point, Wu Jia knew that this was a person who didn't even realize that he was a chili lover.

"How about it?"

Looking at Lu Anning opposite who was rubbing his belly, he looked at the four empty bowls on the table. Halfway through the meal, he realized that it was not enough, so he added another serving.

"Are you satisfied?"

"Super satisfied." Lu Anning nodded happily, "If you hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have known this store tasted so good!"

"That's for sure." Wu Jia boasted proudly: "Only the gourmets know about this kind of shop!"

"Then how did you know?"

"By the way, you just said someone else brought you here."

"I didn't expect you to know such a gourmet!"

"You should also know each other." After the meal, it was getting darker, and it was time to talk about business.

Presumably Yang Zhe, who was guarding the car under the tree over there, must feel bad in his stomach when he sees himself eating so much, right?

"Wei Zhengrong."

Wei Zhengrong actually brought Wu Jia here to eat at this old restaurant. When I was watching a TV series before, I was curious about the taste of chili oil in this store and how it made Wei Zhengrong so addicted to it. Later, I brought myself here to try it. , Wu Jia unexpectedly became a regular customer of this store. This chili oil is so fragrant!

"Actually, not only Wei Zhengrong, your father Lu Xingzhi must have been here many times as well."

Wu Jia smiled and looked at Lu Anning, who was obviously depressed. "I heard Uncle Wei say before that when your father first came to the criminal police team to report."

"It was busy at that time, and the two of them couldn't go back to eat. From time to time, they would come here to deal with it. The first time your father and Uncle Wei came over, they choked on the chili oil just like you."

"But I heard that your father also liked the chili oil later on. He wouldn't be able to eat the noodles without it."

"But my father has never brought me over to eat." Lu Anning, who had been feeling better after hearing what happened to her father back then, became depressed again.

"Let's go." Wu Jia looked at the bright lights in front of him. This was not a suitable place to talk, especially since the next topic would be very heavy and he had to take care of Yang Zhe, so this was even less suitable.

"Anywhere you want to go?"

Lu Anning shook her head. Before today, she had always been a good child in the eyes of her teachers and parents. She went to school when it was time to go to school, went home after school, did her homework when she got home, and followed her parents around during her breaks. It has never been like this tonight, when I ran out of an empty house without even saying hello.

Lu Xingzhi and Yang Man wouldn't have thought of it, so Lu Anning didn't know where he wanted to go.

"Then just listen to me." Wu Jia pointed to the motorcycle, "I'll take you to the paradise of my childhood. It will be a bit far, but the car has just been filled with gas, which is enough for us to go back and forth."

"Okay." Anyway, we are out. As long as we don't go home, where can we go?

Lu Anning was also new to the world, or she had no idea of ​​being wary of Wu Jia. She followed Wu Jia on the motorcycle like a sister and drove towards the industrial zone outside the city.

When the motorcycle was about to disappear from sight, the car that had been parked under the tree beside the road started and followed the motorcycle at a steady speed, driving together into the night.

"Where is this place?"

After driving around for almost an hour, Lu Anning looked ahead in the darkness. There were no street lights or lighting. Except for the headlights of motorcycles and the brightness of stars in the sky, there was no light source.

"This was my favorite place when I was a child." Wu Jia turned off his motorcycle, took out the flashlight he had prepared, turned it on and shined forward.

There was no beautiful scene as Lu Anning had originally thought. There were only ruins, dead old trees, messy grass, and a small river that reflected colorful colors under the light of the flashlight.

In nature, animals and plants often rely on color to distinguish the degree of danger. Generally speaking, the brighter the color, the higher the degree of danger, and the more you need to stay away.

The pungent smell in the air also made Lu Anning realize this.

"Look at that."

Just when Lu Anning was timid and wanted Wu Jia to take her away, Wu Jia suddenly pointed his flashlight at a black mark on the river bank.

"I was here once a few years ago."

Wu Jia's voice seemed erratic in the thick darkness. Lu Anning grasped his coat tightly with her hands, and the touch in her hands gave her a trace of real feedback.

"My childhood paradise is all gone!"

"At that time, the flowers and plants were beautiful, the river was clear, the air was fresh, and the sun was shining brightly."

"But when I come again, it's what you see now. Paradise is no longer there!"

"I'm very angry. After all, this place is one of the few places where I have happy memories!"

"I found gasoline and poured it into the river. When the gasoline covered the entire creek, I lit a match and threw it into the river."

"A blazing fire bloomed in front of me, as if in response to my accusation. I was ecstatic at the time, but unfortunately after the flames dissipated, everything remained the same."

"I was extremely disappointed and terrified!"

"I, I'm a little scared too." Lu Anning wanted to go home. She wanted to return to the room filled with a sense of safety. "Can you go back now?"

"You're in a bad mood tonight."

Wu Jia suddenly changed the subject and said, "Is it because your parents said something like not to contact me?"

"How do you know?" Lu Anning looked at Wu Jia in front of him in surprise, "By the way, how do you know my dad?"

Only then did Lu Anning realize that Wu Jiaming was the owner of the flower shop he had chosen by chance. Plus, she had only met him three times tonight. How could it be that her father seemed to be very nice to him in the afternoon? Familiar, even when his mother was talking to him, she seemed to be quite familiar with this flower shop owner?

"This is a long story." Wu Jia took a deep breath, "Do you understand your own situation?"

According to the progress in the original book and TV series, Lu Anning now actually knows that she was adopted.

Sure enough, as soon as Wu Jia asked this question, he received a nervous answer from Lu Anning.

"You, how did you know about my adoption?"

"I told you, it's a long story."

Wu Jia turned around and looked at Lu An Ning. From the twinkling eyes in her eyes, he knew that this little girl was now nervous, scared and curious. Looking carefully, in the center and deepest part of her eyes, there was a pure The light is standing firmly in the center, unwavering.

that's nice!

Wu Jia sighed in his heart, but this did not affect what he would say next.

"Before telling this story, you need to call your parents on your mobile phone and tell them your current location."

After all, Yang Zhe was following behind him. Wu Jia didn't want anything unexpected to happen. He was only a few years old and still had a lot of good times waiting for him. He couldn't accidentally eat the national meal!

"Don't be defensive."

Before Lu Anning could speak, Wu Jia continued: "This is to save our lives, both of our lives!"

"Don't ask why yet, just call!"

Wu Jia changed Lu Anning's position with him and covered her with his body to prevent her from being seen by Yang Zhe, who didn't know where he was now.

"No one answered." Lu Anning called Lu Xingzhi tremblingly, and then said with a slight cry: "The phone is turned off."

"That's on a mission."

Wu Jia scratched his hair irritably, "Call your mother and ask her to go directly to the police station to find your father!"

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

"Okay!" After hearing Wu Jia's promise, Lu Anning calmed down and called Yang Man.

"Hey, An Ning, why did you call mom?"

Yang Man, who had just finished class, answered the phone, "What are you having for dinner?"

"Mom, listen to me now!"

"I'm with Wu Jia, we are now..."

"By the river in the old industrial park on the outskirts of the city!" Wu Jia quickly said the address.

"By the river in the old industrial park on the outskirts of the city!" Lu Anning repeated quickly and accurately: "We may be in danger. I called dad but didn't get through. Go to the police station to find dad, and then come and save us!"

"An Ning!" Yang Man immediately panicked, clutched the phone tightly, and asked at a loss: "An Ning, why did you go there?!"

"What danger?!"

"You should tell your mother clearly!"

"Teacher Yang." Wu Jia put his face close to the mobile phone in Lu Anning's hand, "Don't ask so many questions, go find Captain Lu quickly, and when you find Captain Lu, ask Captain Lu to call Anning. All you have to say is that the mastermind behind the scenes has appeared. He You’ll understand!”

"We're hanging up now!"

"Hang up."

Lu Anning listened to Wu Jia's words, hung up the phone, and then glanced around uneasily, "What danger are you talking about?"

"What do you mean by the person behind the scenes?"

"Don't be nervous." Wu Jia smiled and took off his coat and spread it on the lawn. "We are both safe at the moment."

"As for your question, sit down now and I will tell you slowly."

......

"Xingzhi! Xingzhi!!!"

After watching the interrogation room door close, physically cutting off the eye contact between Lu Xingzhi and Qu Zhenxiang, Lu Xingzhi returned to his office. Just as he was about to write a report on today's actions and submit it, he heard Yang Man's panicked voice. .

"I'm here!"

His heart tightened for no reason, Lu Xingzhi rushed out of the office and looked at Yang Man, whose face was filled with tears, "What's wrong? What happened?!"

Several people around him quickly gathered around, and Lao Wei and the others had not left yet.

"peaceful!"

Yang Man cried: "An Ning just called me and said that she was with Wu Jia in that old industrial park on the outskirts of the city, and her life is now in danger!"

"I won't tell you if I ask again. Wu Jia said that if I tell you that the mastermind behind the scenes has appeared, you will understand!"

"What happened over there in An Ning?!"

"Life safety?! Xingzhi, hurry up and save An Ning!!!"
