Lu Ming applied for a temporary identity certificate at the police station in City M, and the two bought air tickets to fly directly to City N. Due to flight delays, it was already midnight when they arrived in City N. They took a taxi at the airport and returned to Lu Ming's apartment. After being away from home for a long time, the battery of the housekeeping robot has already run out, there is no hot water, and there is no heating. The room is cold. After the news that he disappeared in a car accident, the nanny has never come again, and even the refrigerator is empty.

Lu Ming first turned on the hot water and air conditioner manually, and then dug out a box of snacks and a can of tea from the living room. The two of them ate snacks with hot tea, and went to take a bath and rest after eating.

When he woke up, it was already noon the next day, so Lu Ming called Sun Zhongxiang first.

"Uncle Sun, it's me."

"Lu Ming? Where are you now?"

"At home." Lu Ming said concisely.

"Last time, I didn't do it well. Someone on my side broke the news. I..."

"I know it's Lu Kai. I didn't call you to talk about this. How is the company doing now?"

Sun Zhongxiang hesitated, "How about I go to your home and have an interview with you?"

"Okay, come over in an hour, I haven't had lunch yet."

"Okay, okay." Sun Zhongxiang said hastily.

There is a nice restaurant outside the apartment building. The two went to have dinner together. After walking back, they had just sat down and drank a cup of tea when there was a knock on the door. Tao Xiaoling got up and said, "You see the guests, I'll go Take a nap."

"it is good."

Tao Xiaoling went back to the guest room upstairs. He was actually not sleepy. He knew that the current difficulties faced by the Lu Corporation must have a lot to do with Tao Yang. He wanted to persuade Tao Yang to stop, but he didn't know how to find Tao Yang. , Lu Kai might know where Tao Yang is, should he go to him?

In the living room downstairs, after a few months, Sun Zhongxiang was very excited when he saw Lu Ming again.

"Uncle Sun, let's briefly count the current situation of the company." Lu Ming gave the cup to the other party.

"Okay." Sun Zhongxiang took a deep breath and began to narrate. Although he was emotional, after all he had been a leader for so many years, his speech was still very logical and concise.

"It starts with the new products launched by the company. Now it can be proved that our new products do have design flaws, but since there are problems, how did the design department and the quality department check through the layers at the beginning? This is really impressive. It's puzzling, I checked all the archived records of the test and mass production stage, there is no possibility of human modification, you know, all our tests are completed by computer control, it is almost impossible to tamper with it .So now the company's internal speculation is that there should be a seemingly reasonable link in the design, which can avoid testing. Under certain conditions, this command will be triggered and cause harm to users, because we After selling so many products, there are only two machines that have problems.”

Lu Ming listened silently, pondered for a moment, and asked again: "When will the company lift the ban?"

Sun Zhongxiang frowned slightly, "This time the higher-ups were alarmed, the State/Security Department has already intervened, presumably not so quickly, and Lu Kai was also brought under control, Mr. Lu, in fact, you really don't need to come back at this time, and it won't help. Maybe it will be…”

"I know, but I still can't ignore it. Has the board discussed a solution now?"

"A preliminary plan has been drawn up, but the feasibility is still under discussion."

Lu Ming looked down at his watch, "I want to have a video conference with everyone."

The company's stock has fallen to the bottom, and it can be saved a little bit, Sun Zhongxiang nodded, "Okay, I will prepare."

After 10 minutes, the meeting started. As expected, the meeting did not go well and lasted until the evening.

Tao Xiaoling was hungry, so he came down to look for something to eat, saw Lu Ming wearing a cashmere sweater sitting in front of the computer, occasionally raised his arm to drink water, revealing a small piece of slender wrist bone, he calmly resolved all the problems everyone had , to resolve the dispute, and finally to make a decision, it seems to be easy, but Tao Xiaoling can see from his dim eyes that he has the urge to run away anytime and anywhere.

Tao Xiaoling avoided the camera, picked up his empty cup, filled him with tea, and put it back to the original place. Sun Zhongxiang, who was on the side, noticed him and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Everyone in the company knows that Lu Ming likes men, but for so many years, he has never seen anyone around him. Even Sun Zhongxiang was fortunate to be in his apartment for the first time because of a reason, so this person can come and go freely in his apartment It is self-evident what is the identity of the person.

Sun Zhongxiang didn't see anything out of the ordinary from Tao Xiaoling. He felt that although he was upper-middle-class in appearance, he was not particularly outstanding. Lu Ming was so picky, what did he like about him?

The meeting ended at nine o'clock in the evening. Even though Sun Zhongxiang often held meetings, he couldn't stand it. Lu Ming's face was very tired. He went to the bathroom and saw Tao Xiaoling watching TV in the living room, as if he just remembered this person, " Sorry, boring, right?"

"Fortunately, I bought food, and now I'm going to heat it up. You can wash your hands and you can eat when you come back."

"it is good."

When Lu Ming came out of the bathroom, Sun Zhongxiang had already packed his things and was ready to leave.

"Eat here."

"No, I called the driver and he'll be here soon."

Lu Ming sent Sun Zhongxiang out, and when he came back, Tao Xiaoling had already placed the food on the dining table.

"You talk so much, I'm afraid your throat can't stand it, so the dishes I order at night are very light. If you don't think it's tasty enough, there's also chili oil here."

Although Lu Ming drank some water, in order to avoid going to the toilet, he also restrained himself from drinking water. His throat was already smoking, and his voice was a little hoarse. "If I eat chili again, I may not be able to speak tomorrow."

Tao Xiaoling handed him a bowl of dried shrimp and winter melon soup, "Have some soup first."

After eating, Tao Xiaoling packed up the trash and went out to throw it away. When he came back, he saw that Lu Ming was on the phone. It sounded like something related to work, so he consciously went to the living room to watch TV.

After Lu Ming made the phone call and returned to the living room, Tao Xiaoling handed him a pillow, "There is something I haven't told you all this time."

Hearing what he said seriously, Lu Ming took a sip of water to moisten his throat and said, "Speak."

Tao Xiaoling turned slightly to the side, looked at him, and told the story of meeting Tao Yang last time.

"You mean, it was my family who arrested you and Tao Yang?"

Tao Xiaoling didn't expect him to listen to the whole thing, so he focused on this, "Yeah." He raised his finger and pointed upstairs, "I went to your study when I was bored in the afternoon, looking for a book to read, and then I saw a book on the wall. A photo, the child who led me out back then should be you." He lowered his head and smiled, then raised his head and said, "You saved my life back then, I never thought I would meet you again after so many years."

"You saved me twice." Lu Ming said with a smile.

"I want to persuade Tao Yang to stop, but I don't know where to find him." Tao Xiaoling was silent for a while, and said his plan.

"Since he's doing it for revenge, now that I'm back, he should come to me. Don't think so much, the soldiers will come and cover you up." Lu Ming raised his hand and rubbed Tao Xiaoling's hair, "Leave it all to me. Let's solve it."

The two chatted for a few more words, and suddenly Lu Ming couldn't speak, his throat hurt like a fire.Tao Xiaoling panicked immediately, and poured a glass of water for him, "I'll go buy some medicine for you."

"It'll be fine if you get some sleep." Lu Ming pulled him and said with difficulty.

Tao Xiaoling brushed his hand away helplessly, "I noticed a pharmacy not far outside, so I'll be back soon."

Tao Xiaoling put on his coat and went out, and soon arrived at the pharmacy, bought throat lozenges and anti-inflammatory drugs, walked back quickly, and when he was about to reach the door of the apartment building, a figure suddenly appeared behind the shadow of a tree next to him, blocking the his way.

By the light of the street lamp nearby, Tao Xiaoling recognized the man, "Tao Yang, how did you find this place?"
