Recalcitrant

Chen Zhuo woke up from his sleep with a layer of cold sweat on his back.

He had a nightmare just now, dreaming that Lu Shaoheng took him on a yacht and bid him farewell——

Wait, that didn't seem like a dream, Chen Zhuo suddenly realized where he was right now.

He was still in that yacht, and his whole body was cleaned up.The ship had already docked at the pier, and the cabin was in a mess, with red footprints that smelled like wine all over the place.

It was four o'clock in the morning, the sea was shimmering, the moonlight had already dimmed, and the junction of the sea and the sky was a dark purple.There was no sign of Lu Shaoheng on the boat, and he should have been away for a long time considering the return time of the yacht.

However, Chen Yao woke up earlier than he expected.

At this moment, Chen Zhuo's cell phone rang, and he immediately got up and got out of bed to answer the phone.

The call was from Ling Xiao. While listening to Ling Xiao's words, Chen Yao rushed off the boat and stopped a taxi that was resting at the pier.

Ling Xiao said on the phone that the reason why he was able to get in touch with Chen Yao now was because Lu Shaoheng somehow noticed last night that he was going to meet Chen Yao.Before he even walked out of the house, he was stunned by Lu Shaoheng's medicine, his communication equipment was confiscated, and he was locked at home.

It wasn't until half an hour ago that he woke up slowly and tried every means to get out of the house.

At this moment, Ling Xiao was also hitchhiking, and was driving towards the same destination with Chen Yao, and the anxiety in his voice almost gushed out of the receiver: "His purpose was never to destroy a multi-star, send a few people to prison, and so on." Simple…"

In the best private hospital in City H, a special visitor came in the early morning.Lu Shaoheng suddenly appeared in the inpatient department, holding two large buckets of seafood porridge in his hand, and greeted the nurses on night shift with a smile on his face.

Now is not the visiting time. In principle, family members cannot be allowed in. The nurse asked him why he came here at this time, and Lu Shaoheng said that he had to catch a plane at dawn, so he had to come to see his father again before the business trip.

The lady nurse is kind-hearted and made it convenient for him.

Seeing that it was still early, Lu Shaoheng ate supper with the girls, and went into Lu Heping's room alone.

"His final goal is Lu Heping."

At night, the nurse forgot to draw the curtains, and the gloomy sky came in from the window, falling on Lu Heping's increasingly thin face.Who would have thought that Lu Heping, who used to dominate the film industry, is now covered with tubes, so thin that only a bone remains, and can only rely on these instruments to survive.

Like a ghost, Lu Shaoheng quietly appeared beside his bed, staring intently at the instruments with various lights flashing.

Life is so fragile. For example, Lu Heping, as long as he takes a shot of barbiturate hydrochloride, or pulls out the equipment that keeps him alive, he will melt and disappear in an instant like a piece of thin ice exposed to the sun.

"In the medicine bottle he carried with him, there were cyanide capsules, which he kept for himself."

Lu Heping's body is weak, and he sleeps most of the time every day, but tonight, he woke up in the early morning without warning.

Looking at his son standing quietly by the bed, he blinked suspiciously, as if he was asking why Lu Shaoheng appeared here at night.

"He wanted to kill Lu Heping with his own hands. He originally prepared a boat to sink him into the sea with him. Before he could do it, Lu Heping fell ill."

Lu Shaoheng didn't speak, but slowly approached his father. At that moment, Lu Heping saw a piercing chill in his son's eyes.

He had never seen such a naked expression in his son's eyes. Even if he personally brought down Juxing and showed his "achievements" in front of his hospital bed, he always had a happy face without any trace of hostility.

No one knew how miserable Lu Heping was during these days.

The instinct to survive made him resist Lu Shaoheng's approach, but he couldn't make even the slightest sound, and could only stare his eyes in vain.

"And then kill yourself."

Lu Shaoheng bent down and gently closed Lu Heping's eyes. There was no sound in the room, and it was as quiet as a huge ornate tomb.

Lu Shaoheng took one last look at his father's face, turned around and sat down at the end of the bed, and opened the medicine bottle in his hand.

"All his assets have been notarized, and the recipient is you."

"Bang!" There was a loud noise!The door was violently pushed open. Amidst the screams of the nurse, Chen Zhuo broke into the ward. Behind him was a series of panting security guards, breaking the last calm of the inpatient department.

The light above the head suddenly turned on, making everything in the room invisible. The light was too strong, and Chen Zhuo squinted uncomfortably.

When he opened his eyes again, there was no scene in the room that Chen Zhuo didn't want to see. Lu Heping lay quietly on the bed, and all vital signs were normal.

Other than that, there was no other figure, only the curtains were drawn again, implying that someone had just been there.

"Where is Lu Shaoheng?" I don't know what kind of strong medicine Lu Shaoheng mixed into the red wine. Chen Zhuo propped his elbows on the low cabinet beside him, barely maintaining his balance, and his heart was beating fast, "Didn't you say that he is coming?"

Only then did the little nurse find a chance to answer the question: "Boss Lu came here today, but he already left half an hour ago."

**

The sky was getting brighter, and the case handling area of ​​the police station became lively. Chen Zhuo stood up, and the chair dragged on the tiled floor, making an ear-piercing "creaking" sound.

The policeman who handled the case scanned the contents of the transcript for the last time, and said to Chen Zhuo: "We have already learned the details, and we will notify you as soon as we have any news."

Chen Zhuo shook hands with the policeman politely, "Then I will trouble you."

After coming out of the hospital, Chen Zhuo immediately arranged for people to look for Lu Shaoheng. He concealed the information related to Lu Heping and went to the police station to call the police.

When Jiang Xiaobo received the news and rushed to the police station, there was no trace of staying up all night on Chen Zhuo's body. On the other hand, the early self was more like a cabbage that had been beaten by frost.

But Chen Zhuo's abnormal rationality and composure made him even more worried.

As soon as he walked out of the case handling hall, Chen Zhuo saw Ling Xiao leaning against the corner with his arms crossed, his face paler than the white paint on the wall.Chen Zhuo stopped and glanced at him, the two exchanged a look in the air, and Ling Xiao understood it, got up and followed.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the gate of the police station, without warning, Chen Zhuo turned around and pushed Ling Xiao to the wall forcefully, and bullied him to meet him.

Seeing Chen Yao attacking Ling Xiao suddenly at the gate of the police station, Jiang Xiaobo panicked. Although he hoped that Chen Yao could vent his emotions, this was obviously not a suitable place.

Jiang Xiaobo hurried forward and stood between the two of them: "Chen Zhuo, don't do this."

Chen Yao refused to take a step back, clutching Ling Xiao's collar tightly with one hand, and asked coldly, "Where did Lu Shaoheng go?"

"I don't know." Ling Xiao slammed his back against the concrete wall, making him grunt in pain, but he didn't struggle or fight back. He looked up at Chen Zhuo, "He didn't even reveal it to you, so what? will tell me?"

"You knew what he wanted to do early on." Chen Yao continued to question Ling Xiao, even though it was too late to say this now, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Because I don't want to bow to you." Ling Xiao lowered his head, blaming himself extremely: "I thought I could make him change his mind."

Chen Zhuo nailed Ling Xiao to the wall with dark eyes, stared at him for a long time, then let go of his hand suddenly, turned and walked towards the parking lot.

No one knows what made Lu Shaoheng suddenly change his mind a few hours ago.The current situation is that Lu Heping is lying in the hospital unscathed, while Lu Shaoheng has disappeared and completely disappeared.

Jiang Xiaobo trotted to keep up with Chen Yao's footsteps, and comforted him beside him: "Don't worry, no news is the best news."

Jiang Xiaobo's words made sense, at least he hadn't heard any news about an unknown man's corpse being found in the river, or someone jumping off a building or bridge in the early morning.

"Maybe he just went out to relax and come back in a few days." Jiang Xiaobo continued.

Chen Zhuo didn't respond, and leaned over and got into the car.

With the current situation, no amount of comforting words would seem pale. Jiang Xiaobo didn't bother Chen Zhuo any more, and drove out of the parking lot of the police station.

The morning news came on the radio, and it was just seven o'clock, the beginning of the day.

Both sides of the street began to get busy, and the whole city began to wake up under the morning sun. Everything under the sun was full of hope and vitality.

Chen Zhuo was sitting in the car, looking indifferently at the street scene outside the window.

He had a feeling in his heart that Lu Shaoheng would not come back again.

**

Time passed quickly, and in the third month when Lu Shaoheng had no news, Chen Zhuo came back from a business trip and suddenly went back to his and Lu Shaoheng's home.

This was the first time Chen Zhuo came back here after Lu Shaoheng left.Fortunately, there are housekeepers who come to clean the house every week. The house is clean and tidy, and it still maintains the appearance before Lu Shaoheng left.

Lu Heping's physical condition has deteriorated rapidly, and he is waiting to blow the lamp and pull out the wax at any time.Ling Xiao has received an offer from an overseas school and has already set off for further studies in the United States.

As the curtain fell on the gathering of stars, Lu Shaoheng completely withdrew from the public eye after leaving a large amount of property to Chen Zhuo.The outside world does not know the reason for this, there are rumors that he and Chen Zhuo have broken up peacefully, and now immigrated and settled overseas.

However, Chen Yao's life has not changed much. He shoots films, solicits investment, acts, and runs publicity every day, like a machine that works 24 hours a day, without any time to stop.

In the beginning, Jiang Xiaobo was a little cautious, and he followed Chen Yao every day if he had nothing to do, for fear that he would follow him into a dead end.Later, seeing that he didn't show any abnormalities, he was relieved.

But tonight Jiang Xiaobo heard that Chen Zhuo had gone to Tanwan, so he still couldn't sit still. He called him several times throughout the night, and wanted to come over to see what he said.

When Jiang Xiaobo arrived, Chen Yao had already finished a simple dinner. He sat at the table and ate slowly. While eating, he used a tablet to scan travel guides, and there were a few postcards in hand.

Looking at the snow-capped mountains, forests and streams in the photo, Jiang Xiaobo felt that he was getting nervous again. He scratched his neck and asked Chen Zhuo embarrassingly, "Are you going to travel again?"

To say that the only unusual thing about Chen Yao recently is that he suddenly fell in love with traveling, and has gone out alone many times in the past two months.

"Look at it casually." Chen Yan stared at the screen and responded: "It hasn't been decided yet."

Jiang Xiaobo said dryly: "It's good to go out for a walk, the work pressure is too great."

Chen Yan closed the tablet, gathered up the postcards scattered on the table, carefully put them into a book, and said, "Let's talk about it."

Not long after Jiang Xiaobo left, Chen Yao finally finished the dinner.He came to the big sofa in the living room and sat down, turned on the home theater, and played a movie casually.

This machine has been installed for so long, and it is the first time to use it tonight. It is said that Lu Shaoheng specially got it back from abroad, and it took a lot of effort.

It's a pity that Chen Yao took a day flight today, halfway through the movie, he fell asleep on the sofa wrapped in a blanket.

It had been a long time since he had a good night's sleep like today.In the dream, he saw Lu Shaoheng push open the door of the house, and asked him why he didn't go back to the room, because he would catch a cold lying on the sofa to sleep.

Chen Zhuo didn't answer him because he knew it was just a dream.

This was the first time in three months that he saw Lu Shaoheng in his dream.

The author says:

*Break the mirror and crack again, and the achievement is achieved.
