The Prodigal Son Reborn

Laurent's progress did not stop.

The woman laughed even harder, her voice shrill, and she looked at Locke smugly, as if laughing at how failed the man she had been with her for 25 years!

Locke's facial features are distorted!He wanted to prevent Laurent from approaching the woman, or to prevent Laurent from learning anything he didn't want to hear from the woman, but he couldn't move his body!He could only watch Laurent get out of his control!

Laurent stood a meter away from the woman.

The woman was leaning against the wall, with blood constantly coming out of her mouth. She waved her hands vigorously and said with difficulty: "Son, squat down a little, Mom wants to touch your face."

"Don't listen to her!" Locke clenched his fists and stared at Laurent.

Laurent didn't hesitate from the beginning to the end. He slowly squatted down and half-kneeled in front of the woman.

The woman touched Laurent's face with a smile, her red eyes were full of sentimentality, "My child, you have lost weight and haggard. It's my mother who is sorry for you. My mother should not have let you be born in such a cold and terrifying place. cage. If there is an afterlife, mother..."

The words that followed were stuck in his throat.

Laurent grabbed her neck without warning.

The woman opened her eyes wide in horror, and her round nails kept digging at his hand, but she was already dying, so how could she be as strong as the Beta man?

Locke, who was standing at the back, saw Laurent's movements, was taken aback for a moment, then raised his brows, and gave the woman a strange smile, "Crazy woman, you can see clearly this time, whose son is Laurent?" ?”

The woman stared at Laurent with a pale face, and her red eyes shed tears unconsciously. He couldn't believe that his son wanted her life for a man who had no direct blood relationship!

Hahaha, everything is God's will? !Is it God's punishment for her? !She was punished as a white-eyed wolf for her soft-heartedness at the beginning!

Laurent pinched her neck indifferently. The woman's neck was very slender, just enough to be fully clenched with one hand. The touch from the palm was delicate and hot, and he could clearly feel the gradually draining vitality. .He watched helplessly as the woman gradually stopped struggling until her heartbeat stopped and her pupils dilated.

The hands holding him finally fell to the ground feebly.

Laurent slowly let go of his hand, but he didn't get up. He stared blankly at the eyes that were almost out of frame, and his thoughts were empty.

He didn't have much affection for the woman he called his mother.

Since he can remember, women have always been very kind to him, but he just rejects them inexplicably, and he doesn't know why.Perhaps it was because he had seen too much of Locke's cold treatment of women, or maybe it was because he felt that he was not favored by his father because he had such an unpopular mother, so he subconsciously thought that this woman was important to him. It is dispensable existence.

It wasn't too difficult to kill her with his own hands.

He watched the woman's dying struggle indifferently, like a passer-by watching a shadow puppet show, his mood did not fluctuate at all.

Locke came up from behind and patted him on the shoulder lightly. Laurent was shocked and raised his head in a daze.

"Good boy, get up." Locke held out his hand to him.

Laurent looked at the hand stretched out to him, it was big and powerful, and he couldn't help being in a trance for a while.

This was the scene he had imagined countless times when he was a child. His majestic father reached out to him and said to him approvingly, "Good boy, my father is proud of you."At that time, he longed for his father's love so much, but no matter how many trophies and honors he won, he still couldn't get his father's praise and smile.

Now, he just killed this woman, and let the man reach out to him?

I can't tell what it feels like.

Is it sad?

Or is it mocking?

Instead of holding the man's hand, he stood up by himself.

Locke was vaguely displeased, but when he thought that Laurent had solved a heart problem for him, he had to suppress his anger forcibly.

Laurent lowered his head and stopped looking at the woman, "Father, what should I do with the corpse?"

"Leave it to you." Locke patted his thin shoulder, "Father believes that you can handle it properly."

"If the outside world finds out that she is missing, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, there is one person missing in the Prime Minister's Office. Isn't it easy to hide it? The most important thing is to disintegrate the corpse first. You should clean up here quickly, and come back in half an hour to discuss with your father how to deal with the problem of the optical network." Emergencies."

"Yes." Laurent went out, handed over two Beta male soldiers, carried the body out, and threw it directly into the incinerator of the Cabinet Office.

The fire in the crematorium was so fierce that even standing outside the metal door, one could smell the burning smell.

Laurent waved at the two soldiers, who saluted and turned to leave.

Laurent was the only one left in the crematorium.When he was a child, he never dared to come here, because he knew that this is the cemetery of the dead, no matter how beautiful it was during life, if you throw it in after death, it will turn into a handful of loess.

He stared intently at the flickering fire behind the door, and his thoughts drifted away.

According to the woman, he is not Locke's biological son.Since he can be somewhat similar to Locke, it means that his father and Locke also have a certain blood relationship.Based on such calculations, he has some speculations about the biological father he has never met—except for Locke's half-brother, he really can't think of a second suitable candidate.

It's just... I don't know if Locke just knew about it, or already knew about it?

According to Locke's reaction just now, Locke didn't know his life experience before today; but when the woman said those meaningful words, he had already guessed that he might not be his biological son.

As for why Locke didn't become angry because of his existence, it was probably because the lack of an heir would affect his position in the Lahu political situation, or he was worried that no one would advise him.

According to Locke's personality, it is absolutely impossible to hand over the power of the cabinet to an outsider—not to mention that this outsider is strong evidence that his wife Hong Xing is cheating!But now that the imperial party is getting stronger and stronger, Locke urgently needs someone who can assist him in making decisions, so he temporarily saves his life.

When the Emperor's Party is completely defeated, or Locke has a child of his own, his life may be in danger at that time.

The fire dwindled and was eventually completely extinguished.

The metal door opened automatically, and the heat wave came with a pungent smell.

Laurent paused for a while, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and approached, picking up a glass bottle filled with white powder.

This is his mother, the woman who gave birth to him and raised him.

Laurent stared at the slightly hot bottle in a daze, and put the bottle into the interspatial ring after a long while.His purpose of doing this was not to mourn, but to always remind himself that it was impossible for him and Locke to be together all the way after all.Sooner or later, he will take away all of Locke's rights!

After Laurent finished disposing of the female body and returned to the study, the small study had returned to its original cleanliness, with no trace of blood stains on the floor and walls.

Locke obviously tidied himself up and restored his previous glamorous and personable appearance again.Seeing him coming in, Locke pointed to the leather chair opposite, "Sit down."

Laurent sat upright, with a standard office tone, "Father, the corpse has been disposed of, shall we proceed to the next step?"

"That's right." Locke threw the virtual projection into the air, "These are all the suspicious candidates I can think of."

Laurent simply checked the number of people, "37 people? Isn't the range too broad?"

Locke explained with a little embarrassment: "All of them are women who have more contact with me, a total of 21, and the rest are members of the cabinet party that I suspect."

Laurent's expression remained unchanged, and he read from beginning to end, "Father, don't act rashly until you have identified a suspicious candidate. First contact the media in the cabinet and severely condemn this obscene and chaotic official style."

"In case the audience says I..."

"Father, since the behind-the-scenes people put the photos on the optical network, but did not disclose their real identities, it can be seen that they intend to negotiate with us. So what we need to do now is first to condemn this behavior through the official media, and secondly Speed ​​up the identification of suspicious candidates. When the person behind the scenes is found, everything will be much clearer."

"Okay! Just do what you said!"
