Chapter 114 Meeting Parents

Chapter 114 Meeting Parents


Arc 7 : Neighbours

After Lu Fei notified his father, he opened the door and entered the ward and said casually, “The one on the bed, your father-in-law will be here soon.”

Huang Dan didn’t understand it all at once, “My father-in-law?”

Lu Fei put his hands in his pockets and said in a different way, “That’s my dad.”

Huang Dan was stunned, “Why is your dad coming? Did you say that? Lu Fei, I’m not in a good state right now, not suitable to meet your family.”

Lu Fei took out a hand and brushed away the broken hair from the young man’s forehead, and flicked it with his fingers, “There is nothing appropriate or inappropriate. An ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her In-laws. My father is the only one who returned to China this time, and my mother is still abroad. When we go there, you can also meet her, and my Di.”

Huang Dan asked, “You have a Didi?”

Lu Fei said, “It’s a Shiba Inu, six years old, called Little Pudding, the name given by your mother-in-law.”

“……”

Huang Dan lifted the quilt and sat up. Before he could take the next step, he heard the man scolding him, “Why are you getting up? Lie back down.”

He said, “The table is a mess.”

Lu Fei glanced at the table and then at the young man, “Where’s the mess? Don’t be nervous. Even if my dad is a tiger, he can’t touch a single hair on your head as long as I’m here.”

Huang Dan lay back down. It was natural for him to be nervous when meeting the other party’s parents in such a formal way. “I’m sweating, and I smell bad. Please give me some water to wipe it off, ok?”

Lu Fei bent his back and leaned into the young man’s neck, sniffed it with his nose, and rubbed it with his lips a few times. “It smells very good. No need to wipe it. Just stay in bed and save me some worries.”

Huang Dan sniffed at the hospital gown and said, “I think I’m a little rancid, the hair hasn’t been washed for two days, and it’s all oily, lying softly overhead, which doesn’t look good.”

Lu Fei held the young man’s pale face and took a closer look. He let out a long sigh and said disgustedly, “You should make the most of the time, taking a shower, washing hair, changing hair style, and clothes, but your face is still like this, so stop fussing and be obedient.”

Huang Dan tilted his head to the side, “I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”

Lu Fei sat upright in the chair, crossed his legs, folded his arms and said, “If you don’t want to talk to me, then who do you want to talk to? The nurse who took your temperature this morning? The director who came for ward rounds this morning? Or is it the Zhang Yiming police officer who left not long ago?”

Huang Dan didn’t speak, just looked at the man slowly, his eyes were quite subtle.

Lu Fei’s face tightened, “Why are you looking at me?”

Huang Dan said firmly, “You heard it outside the door.”

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Lu Fei’s face, and it disappeared in an instant. He took out the lighter without saying a word, lowered his head and clicked out the flame, flicked it out and pressed it again.

Huang Dan noticed that the man’s ears were red. He shook his head inwardly, embarrassed, “Don’t press it, the lighter will break.”

Lu Fei didn’t raise his eyelids and said, “The control is really lenient.”

Having said that, he didn’t continue pressing the lighter.

“My dad came here because I meant it. You must be wondering why I chose this time. Let me tell you, I didn’t choose, you chose it for me. Ji Shiyu, I was so scared by you that I woke up from nightmares all night long, please take pity on me and let me feel at ease.”

Huang Dan was silent and said, “I’m sorry.”

Lu Fei’s brows furrowed. Hearing these three words, he felt depressed, “Let me ask you, will you do it again in the future?”

Huang Dan said nothing.

Lu Fei was so angry that he kicked the chair away angrily, pursed his thin lips and paced back and forth in the ward. The aura around him was violent.

Huang Dan was a little afraid of the man at the moment, “Don’t be angry.”

Lu Fei walked to the bed and gasped loudly, with extremely unsightly complexion, releasing ice shards and fireballs at the same time, “Can I not be fucking angry? I’m pissed to death by you!”

Huang Dan said, “This is a hospital. Don’t get angry. The nurse will come over later.”

Lu Fei propped himself up on the bed and looked at the young man, “I get angry when I see your flat face. You act as if nothing matters. Tell me, what do you care about?”

Huang Dan was stunned for a moment, “Lu Fei, I care about you.”

Lu Fei’s breath paused, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, “Whether it’s true or not, I like to hear it. You win, Ji Shiyu.”

Huang Dan said, “I won’t lie to you.”

Lu Fei snorted and said coldly, “This is the biggest lie.”

The corners of Huang Dan’s mouth twitched, and he mentally filled in the second half of the sentence that he couldn’t say, except because of the mission.

No matter what the reason is, concealing it is concealing it, but when it comes to feelings, Huang Dan is absolutely sincere and has no reservations.

After a moment of silence, Lu Fei said, “Don’t pay too much attention to my dad’s attitude and thoughts. He is him and I am me. In short, remember, you are not RMB. It is impossible for everyone to like you, do you understand?”

(*RMB is Chinese currency in the international market and terms Yuan or Kuai are used domestically.)

Huang Dan said, “I know.”

Lu Fei touched his hair, “Can you stop being nervous now?”

Huang Dan nodded and asked, “Lu Fei, what kind of person is your father?”

Lu Fei said, “Just an ordinary old man.”

Only when Huang Dan met Lu Fei’s father, he realized that the real person and the person Lu Fei was talking about were not the same. Where is the ordinary old man, his body frame was clearly very strong. It was hard to tell that he was in his sixties.

Father Lu entered the ward and saw his son combing the hair of the young man on the bed. He just widened his cloudy eyes to express the shock in his heart when he saw his daughter-in-law for the first time, but he did not get angry on the spot, nor did he show any other expression, nor did he slam the door and leave, which shows that he is a self-cultivated old man.

But the problem is that no matter how well cultivated he is, he is still a human being. Human beings have emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, and their rationality is also limited.

Father Lu spoke in the dull atmosphere, “Lu Fei, get out.”

Lu Fei remained motionless.

Father Lu emphasized his tone, “Get out!”

Lu Fei said calmly, “Dad, you can put on the show anytime, but does it have to be today?”

Huang Dan was certain that when he saw Lu Fei, his father’s hands shook in anger and wanted to slap his son, but that didn’t happen.

Reason is still there, not to the limit.

Father Lu took a deep breath and said, “I’ll talk to this kid alone.”

Lu Fei still didn’t move, “Talk alone? Is there anything you can’t let me hear?”

Father Lu simply refused to argue with his son and changed the target of his conversation, “Kid, Bobo has something to talk to you.”

Huang Dan looked at the man and said, “Lu Fei.”

Lu Fei also looked over and cast an “Are you sure?” look.

Huang Dan nodded to the man and said in his heart, I can handle it, you have to believe me.

When Father Lu saw that his son was still butting, he looked down on him. A trip back to China, became different, and overcautious.

To put it mildly, it’s just that the sentiments are not right.

“Garrulous, don’t worry, just stand at the door and listen.”

As a result, Lu Fei stepped out of the ward, and Father Lu immediately closed the door with very nimble hands and feet.

Older gingers are more spicy.

Lu Fei’s face at the door twitched. He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and held it in his mouth. He folded his legs sideways and listened to what was going on inside.

Father Lu looked at the young man on the bed, “How old are you this year?”

Huang Dan said, “Twenty-one.”

Father Lu pondered, “Nine years younger than Lu Fei.”

Huang Dan responded with silence. To him, the nine-year age difference was just a number and did not affect anything.

Father Lu threw out the reality in front of him, and analyzed it for him, “You are in your early thirties, and Lu Fei is in his early forties. When you reach my age, Lu Fei’s hair will already be gray and won’t be able to remember things.”

Huang Dan said, “Everyone ages, he just walks a little faster than me.”

Father Lu said, “Instead of finding someone who walks in front of you, it is better to find someone who can walk side by side with you. That way, you guys can support and take care of each other if one falls or bumps. What do you think?”

This makes sense.

Huang Dan showed a helpless expression, “I can’t help it, I like him, and he happens to be walking in front of me.”

Father Lu felt that he couldn’t explain clearly for a while, so he sat on the chair and asked, “You just graduated, right?”

Huang Dan hummed.

Father Lu said, “With the current economic downturn, it is not easy to find a satisfactory job just after graduation. If you don’t want to take some detours, the safest and most effective way is to have connections.”

Huang Dan said, “Lu Bobo, I didn’t ask Lu Fei to introduce me to jobs.”

Father Lu’s words became sharper, “Didn’t think about it, or didn’t do it?”

Huang Dan said, “Neither.”

He spoke neither too fast nor too slowly, calmly and unhurriedly, “I have hands and feet, I graduated with a bachelor’s degree, and I have no physical illness. It is impossible to join a big company and enjoy a high salary just after graduation, but it is still possible to get a job.”

After hearing what the young man said, Father Lu showed no emotion on his face, “Then why did you follow my son……”

He didn’t say anything further because what he was about to say next was not pleasant to hear.

Huang Dan said, “Your son is single, and so am I. We like each other, so we naturally got together.”

A glimmer of light flashed in Father Lu’s cloudy eyes, “That’s it?”

Huang Dan chuckled and said, “You are biased against me.”

Father Lu also smiled, “I don’t have a good opinion about a child who hasn’t entered society yet and doesn’t understand the world, but talks about big principles to me. It’s too unrealistic.”

Huang Dan said, “That’s not the case. Even if I have been working for many years and my career achievements are no worse than, or better than, your son’s, you still won’t like me because I’m a man.”

“Right, since you are clear about it in your heart, Bobo has some words to say straightforwardly.”

The appreciation on Father Lu’s face quickly disappeared, “Lu Fei is an only son. If you are together, he will be unfilial, his mother and I will be disappointed in him, and the home will become less like home, and all of this is because of you.”

“Kid, your so-called persistence and blind love can at best be used as a little spice in his boring and busy life, but your leaving is the best choice for him and for you.”

Huang Dan said, “Bobo, if I left, Lu Fei would be miserable. He will never love anyone again, nor will he need the love of others. You guys will also lose a son.”

Father Lu was startled when he heard this and found it funny, “Are you sure that there can be no one else around my son except you? Kid, life is full of temptations, especially for the person who has both fame and wealth, even if he doesn’t take the initiative, there are many people throwing themselves on him.”

Huang Dan said, “I’m sure.”

His expression was serious and determined, without any wavering of self-confidence.

Father Lu felt ridiculous. The world is ever-changing, and who can not survive without the other. This is the case for work partners, lovers, and also husbands and wives.

But the young man’s attitude was not a joke. Not sure where his confidence came from, but it had a persuasiveness that people couldn’t refuse.

This gave Father Lu a strong sense of crisis, and he became angry.

“If my son had not returned to China and met you, his life would have been going as usual.”

Huang Dan smiled and said, “Bobo, ifs and assumptions are both a way of escaping reality.”

Father Lu was speechless.

He has no choice but to size the young man once more, the opponent has the upper hand in every aspect.

Calm and organized, unfortunately it’s a boy.

Father Lu couldn’t accept this daughter-in-law.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Fei took down the cigarette that was soaked with saliva from his mouth. “Dad, you have watched a lot of romantic dramas, right? They all have common lines. It must be very difficult to prepare at the last minute. Thank you for your hard work.”

Father Lu glared, “You bastard, I’ll teach you a lesson later!”

Lu Fei gave a thumbs up to the young man inside. His eyes were deep and gentle, and he was secretly happy.

Father Lu put his hands behind his back and hmph, “I’ll see how you report this to your mother.”

Lu Fei said that the boat would naturally go straight when it reached the bridge.

When Father Lu saw his son acting like this, he couldn’t help but slap him angrily, “You touch a kid who is little more than twenty?”

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, “He is an adult just like me. Why can’t I touch him?”

“Let’s put it this way, if he could get pregnant, he would be pregnant by now.”

Father Lu was so angry that he was speechless for a long time.

Lu Fei was a bit far away from the ward, “Dad, you can’t act out the scene of beating the mandarin duck. Since I didn’t hide the person, it means I won’t let him go unless I die.”

Father Lu took a breath and was frightened by his son’s words, “Lu Fei, if I had known that you would become like this, I would never have let you return to China.”

“Forget about you, I myself didn’t know that there are such good people and things in the country. It’s destiny. Dad, just accept the fate. That person inside is the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. It’s certain.”

The tenderness in Lu Fei’s eyes faded, “The flight ticket has been booked for you, at two o’clock in the afternoon.”

Father Lu’s old face twisted, “When did I say I was going back?”

Lu Fei’s face also twisted, “Aren’t you going back?”

Father Lu cursed and said, “Going back my ass. I just go back like this. Can your mother let me in?”

Seeing that his father was about to leave, Lu Fei called out, “Wait a minute, where’s the meeting gift?”

Father Lu’s face turned green, “You still want a meeting gift? I don’t have one! I only have a big mouth here, do you want it?”

Lu Fei said that the big mouth should be spared. It is wrong to be violent in the hospital. “Meeting gifts is a matter of etiquette. When a father-in-law meets his daughter-in-law, won’t not give anything.”

Father Lu sneered, “Are you talking about etiquette with me now? You act first and report later, don’t even say anything on the phone. Playing so ruthlessly, you are not afraid of giving your father a heart attack on the spot!”

Lu Fei grinned, “I told you in advance, then where do you have any surprises?”

“Besides, dad, you have a physical check up every year. I know your physical condition clearly. You can handle it.”

Father Lu walked toward the elevator with quick steps, “My stomach hurts when I talk to you. In your thirties, but not as obedient as when you were three years old.”

Lu Fei chased after him, “Give me the meeting gift.”

Father Lu didn’t look back, “No.”

Lu Fei said with a smile, “You are so old, why are you still so duplicitous? You have it in your pocket, I saw it.”

Father Lu took out the red envelope from his pocket and threw it to his son. He was too lazy to take a second look and left angrily.

Lu Fei squeezed the red envelope. It was quite thick. He was surprised, “The old man is actually generous this time.”

When Huang Dan saw the man coming in, he asked, “Is your dad gone?”

Lu Fei closed the door with his backhand, “Otherwise? Kept him for lunch? He has a very picky mouth and can find a lot of faults in a bowl of rice.”

With that said, he gave the red envelope to the young man, “As a meeting gift, my dad’s wish.”

Huang Dan said, “Your father dislikes me.”

Lu Fei scratched the young man’s nose, “He dislikes me too, and likes my mother the most in the world.”

He curled his lips and said, “I am the same as my dad in this regard. I love you the most in the whole world.”

Huang Dan opened the red envelope and saw the banknotes inside, “So many.”

Lu Fei clicked his tongue, “It seems my dad is pleased with you.”

Huang Dan said internally, your father prepared this for his daughter-in-law. When he found out that his daughter-in-law was a man with an Adam’s apple. Perhaps so angry and couldn’t wait to eat the red envelope.

There was no point in raising this matter. Huang Dan took the red envelope and put it under his pillow, taking it very seriously.

Lu Fei took another look, and the young man’s voice entered his ear, “You look so much like your dad.”

He shrugged, “Well, I often hear people say that.”

Huang Dan said, “I have never met my dad.”

Lu Fei thought that the young man was remembering his experience in the orphanage. He stepped forward, held the young man in his arms and patted him, “There’s me.”

Huang Dan said, “Yes, I have you.”

That afternoon, while Huang Dan was sleeping, he heard the sound of the door opening and said, “Lu Fei, please open the window, it’s stuffy in the room.”

He suddenly realized that the footsteps were wrong and woke up immediately.

Father Lu was still hesitating whether to open the window, but he was suddenly stared at by the young man, and he felt embarrassed for a moment.

Huang Dan said, “Bobo, Lu Fei is not here.”

Father Lu said nothing, with the words “I came only after I knew he was not here” written on his face.

Huang Dan could tell from the old man’s behavior of coming twice a day that he really couldn’t tolerate him.

Father Lu said, “Child, Bobo went back and thought about it, and he feels that you still have a long life and you have unlimited possibilities in the future.”

He continued in one breath, “Well, if you want to go to a country, just tell Bobo and he can take care of it for you…..”

The voice of Lu Fei came from the door, “Dad!”

Father Lu’s words were interrupted. He looked towards his raging son, “Why, are you afraid that he is making a choice?”

Lu Fei threw a bag of cherries on the table without saying a word and walked out.

Father Lu followed, then stood with him in the corridor, “Son suddenly became homosexual. If I do this, can it make a father’s heart feel better?”

Lu Fei said, “I am not homosexual. Except for Ji Shiyu, I will not accept a man nor a woman.”

Father Lu was stunned for a while, “Possessed, Lu Fei, you’re possessed!”

Lu Fei pressed his temples.

He was so obsessed with it that he admitted that he would not be able to live without that person.

It sounds ridiculous and false, but it’s the fucking truth.

Fallen, Lu Fei gritted his teeth, he had fallen into the hands of that heartless little guy Ji Shiyu.

There was a set of footsteps approaching. It was Zhang Yiming. He was unlucky, and came at the wrong time again, “I just ran into your dad as soon as I got out of the elevator. Has the conversation between you two, father and son, collapsed?”

Lu Fei said, “Heaven falls and earth ends.”

Zhang Yiming smacked his lips, “A tug-of-war has begun.”

Lu Fei squinted, “What are you doing here?”

Zhang Yiming said, “Come to see your family’s child.”

Lu Fei said no, “Next time.”

Zhang Yiming ,“……”

He raised his eyebrows and said, “Lu Fei, I’m here for serious matters.”

Lu Fei said, “Coming out of the closet, the father-son discussion fell into ruins, father-in-law and daughter-in-law fought a war without gunpowder. Which of the things that happened today was not serious? Don’t get into it. Let’s talk about it another day.”

Zhang Yiming looked regretful, “It sounds spectacular. I missed it. Remember to call me next time.”

Lu Fei said, “Get out of here quickly.”

Zhang Yiming shook his head and said as he walked, “Okay, I’m leaving. I don’t know when the case will be solved……”

After that, Huang Dan didn’t see Lu Fei’s father again.

Lu Fei is in a good mood, and there is no sign of being pressured by his father. It is estimated that he is fully confident that he can pass the test of his parents. It is also possible that he is determined enough and convinced that no matter who or what it is, cannot make him give up.

So there is nothing to worry about.

Huang Dan was anxious about the progress of the case. He couldn’t eat well or sleep well. When Zhang Yiming came, he was happier than anyone else.

Because of this, Lu Fei was jealous twice.

Zhang Yiming was disgusted, and felt that Lu Fei was hopeless. He went to the hospital less and less often, and his mouth got blistered from being so busy.

Because the successive murders in that building have attracted the attention of the media, they must solve the case as soon as possible to avoid causing panic among the public.

Huang Dan was discharged early from the hospital. When he returned, he knocked on the door opposite, “Zhou Jiejie, have you seen Sun Shushu recently?”

Zhou Chunlian said hadn’t seen, “I take care of my child at home and rarely care about other people’s affairs.”

She remembered something, “By the way, I saw him carrying a suitcase some time ago, as if he was going on a long trip. Xiao Ji, you are looking for him, is something the matter?”

Huang Dan said matter-of-factly, “He owes me money.”

Zhou Chunlian asked him, “How much?”

Huang Dan casually mentioned a number.

Zhou Chunlian said, “The house is still there, so people will come back sooner or later, don’t worry.”

Huang Dan made a hmm sound, without moving his eyes away from the middle-aged woman’s face, “Does Zhou Jiejie know if he has any friends?”

Zhou Chunlian was already impatient, “Xiao Ji, I’m not familiar with him. You asked the wrong person.”

Huang Dan said, “Then I’ll ask someone else.”

Zhou Chunlian asked strangely, “Why are you so concerned about his affairs?”

She quickly explained, “I mean, everyone has their own life. It’s not appropriate for you to interfere too much, and it’s better to handle your own matters.”

Huang Dan said, “Sun Shushu has been talking with me. I’m not just looking for him for money, but more importantly because he hasn’t come back these days. I’m worried that something happened to him outside.”

Zhou Chunlian did not continue, but started another topic, “The story about the Taobao guy on the fifth floor who was caught murdering people and hiding corpses has spread. I really didn’t expect that someone who seems to be smiling at everyone would do such things.”

She didn’t seem to like talking about other people’s rights and wrongs, so she didn’t continue at this point and asked, “Is your injury healed?”

Huang Dan said that it was more or less, and he was observing Zhou Chunlian all along, a middle-aged woman.

Huang Dan remembered what Wang Zhi said. There were unknown secrets between Zhou Chunlian and Sun Siqing, about money, threats, and leverage.

People will disguise themselves to see who pretends better.

After Zhou Chunlian closed the door, there were footsteps going upstairs. Huang Dan didn’t expect it to be Liu DaYe. He saw the other person climbing to the fourth floor and still climbing up, so he followed him, “DaYe, you live on the third floor.”

Liu DaYe said he knew, “I’m going to the fifth floor to buy slippers.”

Huang Dan was stunned. Sometimes the old man thought the reality was decades ago, and sometimes he was not so crazy. For example, now, he also knew that there was a Taobao store on the fifth floor that sold slippers.

“That one is not for sale.”

“Not selling it anymore? Why? I promised him that I would buy it!”

Liu DaYe muttered, “How come it’s not for sale? Then where can I buy slippers? There’s no slippers, what should I wear? My feet are so cold……”

Huang Dan looked at the shoes on the old man’s feet and said nothing.

Liu DaYe suddenly turned around.

Huang Dan was startled. He had always felt that humans were scarier than ghosts, and this notion had never changed. “DaYe, what’s wrong?”

Liu DaYe asked, “No more slippers on the fifth floor?”

Huang Dan nodded, “Well, Not for sale.”

Liu DaYe suddenly lost his temper, “What about slippers? Where are my slippers? Why did you have to steal my shoes?”

He started cursing incoherently as he spoke, sometimes referring to the past decades ago, sometimes referring to the time when his wife was still around, and sometimes referring to the present.

Huang Dan was afraid that the old man would fall down the stairs, so he helped him all the way back to the house on the third floor.

The door of 303 was closed, and Sun Siqing’s whereabouts are unknown. Huang Dan remembered that he previously said that he is going to get a sum of money, but there was no follow-up. Maybe something unexpected happened regarding the money.

Among the residents on the third, fourth and fifth floors, two were killed and one was arrested, which became the topic of conversation during idle time among the neighbors in the afternoon and evening.

They seem to have accepted one damn truth and feel that the grievances have their own debtors. If they have not done anything harmful, they will not encounter those misfortunes, so they can talk about things that have nothing to do with themselves.

That night, Huang Dan didn’t sleep well. Probably because Lu Fei was afraid that he would catch a cold, and turned up the air conditioner a little too high. He felt that the air that hit his nose was very whistling and uncomfortable.

In a daze, Huang Dan suddenly heard a voice, his eyes fluttered, and opened it immediately the next second.

The sound was familiar to Huang Dan. He had heard it the night he was drinking at Sun Siqing’s house. It was the sound of shoes being thrown up, down, up, and down.

Huang Dan’s eyelids twitched. Just as he was about to push the man on the pillow, his hand was grabbed. A deliberately lowered voice sounded in his ear, with reassuring power, “Don’t worry about it.”

In the middle of the night, all the neighbors closed their doors and fell into deep sleep. Even if there are one or two night owls who are still playing games, watching movies, or catching up on work, they vaguely hear footsteps going up and down the stairs, and they don’t know who they are, and whose house they are going to.

Not just because they heard footsteps in the corridor, and would open the door and go out to see who was outside. No one would be so idle and stay up so late.

The shoe was thrown up, and the sound of falling continued, stimulating the nerve endings at a terrifying frequency.

Huang Dan raised his head from the man’s arms and said, “Go and have a look.”

Lu Fei hugged the man to his chest and said angrily, “Look my ass, sleep!”

Huang Dan said, “Lu Fei, that man is waiting for us.”

Lu Fei slapped the young man on the head, but not hard. “First you were hit on the head and almost died, then pushed down the stairs, nose was bruised and face was swollen, there were many bruises on your body. You were stabbed a few days ago, and were in the hospital, half-dead. You haven’t learned enough lessons, right? Ji Shiyu, I don’t want to see your dying face again, do you hear me?”

Huang Dan sighed in his heart. If this were in the real world, he would never care about this thing.

Forced by the situation, he had no choice.

The surprise mentioned by San Ge made Huang Dan think about many possibilities. He listed the chances of those possibilities being verified one by one. Finally, he found that the most likely possibility was related to the man’s identity and origin. He had to fight for it.

The sound was still there, and the shoe thrower was extremely insistent and excited. There was no movement at the opposite door or next door. Maybe they heard it and pretended not to hear it, or maybe they didn’t hear it.

Huang Dan is more convinced that it is the former.

The night is very quiet, and any sound will be amplified, so the sound of shoes being thrown up and falling is very clear, like a naughty child, sneaking out when adults are not paying attention, not sleeping, and not letting others sleep. It seems like some Psychopath, laughing and playing with shoes, hoping to get some attention.

Lu Fei cursed angrily. He sat up in the darkness, touched the switch on the wall and turned on the light on the bedside table.

Huang Dan closed his eyes and then opened them, “I’ll go with you, bring the gun, nothing will happen.”

Lu Fei frowned at the young man and said with a smile, “If the police were half as interested as you, the case would be almost solved.”

Huang Dan pursed his lips, “I told you, I am also a victim. I can’t ignore the matter. Besides, the other party has already come to the door. Lu Fei, I will be fine.”

Lu Fei taunted him mercilessly, “Who are you? Just because you said nothing will happen, nothing will happen? Ji Shiyu, sometimes I really can’t understand you. You look like a mentally retarded child.”

He rubbed his forehead vigorously and said angrily, “Needless to say, I am the biggest idiot in the world for falling in love with a mentally retarded child.”

Huang Dan said nothing.

Lu Fei tightened his jawline and glared at the young man fiercely, “Can’t you say a few nice words?”

Huang Dan said, “I told you, but you didn’t believe me and still made fun of me.”

Lu Fei’s big hand covered the young man’s head and ruffled his hair into a mess. “Can you be a little more persistent? If I don’t believe it, why don’t you keep talking until I believe it?”

The corner of Huang Dan’s mouth twitched and he said, “Lu Fei, there is something you don’t know, and I will tell you now.”

Lu Fei listened to the young man’s serious tone, and he also straightened his expression, “What?”

Huang Dan said, “After this life, I want to spend the next life with you. In the next life, I want to be someone close to you from the beginning, not a stranger to you.”

Lu Fei was stunned. It took him a while before he spoke, his voice hoarse, “The way you stabbed my heart with such force will be enough for me in one lifetime. I won’t be too idle to care about you in the next life.”

Huang Dan said, “That’s not what you think.”

Lu Fei yelled, pretending to be surprised and said, “So powerful, ah! Do you know what I’m thinking?”

Huang Dan said, “The eyes can speak. I can tell if you lie.”

Lu Fei was silent.

The two chatted for a while, and the atmosphere calmed down. The sound was still there, but it was not as sinister as before.

Huang Dan took out the gun given by San Ge. Murderer is doing better. He shot it, making the other party unable to fly, and the mission was completed. After that, he could accompany the man and live a leisurely life.

Lu Fei also took a gun. He and Huang Dan walked to the living room. The sound of shoes hitting the floor came from outside the door, which was very clear.

Huang Dan was dragged behind by Lu Fei. They approached the door with light steps. It seemed that there was someone standing across the door, holding a shoe and throwing it on the ground.

Lu Fei suddenly pulled the latch and opened the door. There was no one at the door and no shoes were seen on the ground.

Huang Dan stomped the ground hard and turned on the sensor light. He could clearly see the corridor in front of him, and he also saw that the doors of 402 and 403 were closed, and there was nothing unusual.

Lu Fei lowered his hand holding the gun and said, “Damn it, run away.”

Huang Dan asked the man, “Lu Fei, do you think that person ran upstairs or downstairs?”

Lu Fei said, “I don’t want to guess, it’s boring.”

The door in front of Huang Dan was closed, and the moment his sight was blocked, his intuition came out again, something was wrong, but where was it wrong?

Last time at Wang Zhi’s house, Huang Dan discovered the flaw in the plastic mannequin by intuition. What will he find this time? Or is there something waiting for him to discover……

Lu Fei pulled the latch behind the door, “What are you doing standing there stupidly?”

Huang Dan looked at the gun and said, “I thought it could be used.”

Lu Fei pinched the back of his neck and said, “Even though you don’t feel pain, but want to go to heaven and earth. Be calm, Ji Shiyu, ancestor Ji, your Ge, I beg you.”

Huang Dan saw the character 川 written between the man’s eyebrows, “Okay.”

Lu Fei took the gun and went to check the windows. They were all closed. No problem. He lit a cigarette and smoked, “Go to sleep.”

Huang Dan walked to the bed and suddenly stopped, his whole body frozen.

Lu Fei frowned. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a pair of slippers under the bed, and his expression instantly turned ugly.

Huang Dan said, “It was already placed here at an earlier time.”

That person couldn’t have climbed in from the balcony to place the slippers while they were opening the door, because there was not enough time and people couldn’t do it.

In other words, the slippers were placed under the bed all along, but none of them noticed.

Lu Fei called Zhang Yiming, “Where are those two pairs of slippers?”

Zhang Yiming didn’t complain about his old friend calling so late. Something must have happened. When he heard this, he got up from the bed and asked, “In the bureau, why?”

Lu Fei asked him, “Are you sure?”

Zhang Yiming said yes, “Did any slippers appear?”

“Under the bed, we’ll talk later.”

Lu Fei cut off the call and said to the young man who was staring at his slippers, “Come to the hotel with me tomorrow.”

Huang Dan looked at the man’s livid face and said nothing.

Lu Fei didn’t touch the slippers, “Go to sleep.”

Huang Dan didn’t touch it. He heard the call between Lu Fei and Zhang Yiming just now. It seemed that his previous guess was right.

What appeared was not the same pair of slippers, just the same style and the same color.

Huang Dan thought to himself that the murderer was warning them that he could come in and out of their house at will. If he meddles more, it won’t be slippers next time.

Lu Fei was lying next to him, patting the young man’s back time and time again in a comforting manner.

Huang Dan fell asleep unconsciously.

Lu Fei didn’t feel sleepy at all. He got out of bed and stood by the window smoking, his face full of gloom.

The next morning, Huang Dan left the community with Lu Fei. They didn’t have any big or small bags, and seemed to be just going out.

Downstairs, Huang Dan met Liu DaYe who was going upstairs and said hello.

Liu DaYe first shouted that he must come ah! must come. After staring at Huang Dan’s face for a few seconds, a look of boredom appeared on his wrinkled face, “Hurry up and leave, you brat, I’m so annoyed at looking at you, don’t come back!”

Huang Dan said, “DaYe, are you concerned about me?”

Liu DaYe looked at him as if looking at a fool, “Care about you? Who are you, ah?”

Huang Dan said, “I will come back to see you.”

Liu DaYe blew his beard and glared, then threw the small bamboo chair into the corridor and said, “You brat!”

Lu Fei went to get the car, but didn’t leave Huang Dan aside, rather alway stayed with him. They met Zhang Yiming on the way and gave him the slippers.

After Zhang Yiming got the results, he called Lu Fei. His tone was serious, “The fingerprints on the slippers were damaged and cannot be identified.”

Lu Fei was supervising the young man to take medicine, “What do you want to say?”

Zhang Yiming said, “It’s not scary to be smart. What’s scary is using it in places where it shouldn’t be used and planning things that shouldn’t be planned. Lu Fei, this time we have met our opponents.”

Lu Fei threw his cell phone on the table and put it on speakerphone. He lowered his head and opened another bottle of medicine, handed it over to the young man and said, “Is there a suspect? If it’s not convenient to disclose, just pretend I didn’t ask.”

Zhang Yiming said no, “Sun Siqing from 303 is missing and we are still looking for him. If we find him, we may get something.”

Lu Fei picked out the key word, “Just maybe.”

Zhang Yiming was silent for a few moments, “I intend to install surveillance, although it may not be effective.”

Lu Fei said it would be ineffective, “If the murderer is a resident in that building, monitoring the house would be enough to alert the snake. Besides, it is an old building that is about to be demolished. Not only would it be very troublesome for you to monitor, but it would also be impossible to go door to door and install it.”

Zhang Yiming was pulling his hair. These two cases were not under his control originally. He applied to be transferred because Lu Fei asked him to do a favor.

There was Lu Fei interfering, and the transfer process went quickly. The case was trickier than he thought, and now he was both excited and jittery.

Zhang Yiming said, “Let me tell you something. I want my people to move to your and Xiao Ji’s house for a few days and leave after the case is solved. Is that okay?”

Lu Fei said, “I have no problem on my side, but I can’t make the decision on Ji Shiyu’s side. I’ll give him the phone and you tell him.”

Zhang Yiming clicked his tongue exaggeratedly, “Can’t make the decision? You just drop it, ok? You have always been used to being bossy, but now you know how to respect others?”

Lu Fei ignored him and gave the young man his mobile phone.

Huang Dan put down the water glass, held up the cell phone and said, “Hello, Zhang Ge.”

Zhang Yiming repeated the matter, “Is that okay? I know that is your grandmother’s house, and I will tell them not to touch anything in the house.”

Huang Dan said no problem, “Just ask your people to be careful.”

Zhang Yiming said, “They have rough-skin and thick-flesh, so there will be no problem.”

Huang Dan thought for a while and said, “You can touch things as you please. Since you are a tenant, you must act like one and not reveal your disguise.”

He was thinking about the mission, and now he is using everything he can. Zhang Yiming and Lu Fei don’t know about it. They just think that he is more worried about these two cases than the police, still so cooperative, and really understands righteousness.

“Then keep it this way. I’ll pick up the key tomorrow.”

Zhang Yiming’s identity was exposed on the day he captured Wang Zhi, otherwise he could have acted on his own.

Huang Dan said it was okay, and he hung up the phone and continued taking medicine.

Lu Fei lifted up the young man’s T-shirt, touched the scar on his back, and then checked other places on his body.

Huang Dan obediently let the man check.

Ever since it was revealed that he couldn’t feel pain, the man started to have troubles, and touched his arms and legs from time to time and did a full body check on him, for fear that he might not know where he was injured.

The next day Zhang Yiming came to get the key. Huang Dan asked him about the progress of the case and even brought out Sun Siqing.

Soon, the neighbors found out that lads from 401 and 503 had moved away and rented out the house. 401 is a young couple and 503 are cousins.

Most of the time, people are entirely repeating each day, yesterday to today and today to tomorrow.

At the same time, everyone is tired of living day after day and hopes for big changes, but at the same time, they are afraid and afraid that they will not be able to bear it. It is very contradictory.

The two newly moved families were rejected by their neighbors at first, but they slowly began to accept them.

Zhang Yiming’s people concentrated on investigating Sun Siqing. They mainly visited the food stalls, bars, and gambling den where the other party usually hangs out. Along the way, they found a few old friends in the city.

According to those people, when Sun Siqing’s company first started, it borrowed money from many people, including a woman, and the two of them were having an affair.

This matter was accidentally revealed by Sun Siqing at the wine table. Everyone said that he was in love with the rich woman. Feeling complacent momentarily, he said a few more words, saying that they truly loved each other.

Later, Sun Siqing became prosperous, moved to his current house, and even got married. Later, he went bankrupt again. Before he could reach a higher place, he was unlucky and fell down.

Zhang Yiming followed that line and found out that the woman who lent money to Sun Siqing and had an affair with him was Old Zhang’s ex-wife.
