Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

After not seeing each other for many years, looking at each other, both of them felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

The white sheets were so dazzling that they made people feel uneasy.

Chu Xiong's eyes fell on Cui Ying. She had lost a lot of weight.

The wrinkles around his eyes have deepened, and his once jet-black hair is now strewn with a few strands of silver.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch her, but stopped in mid-air and pulled back as if he had been electrocuted.

"Aying..." Chu Xiong's voice was hoarse and trembling, "You have suffered a lot over the years."

Cui Ying's tears suddenly burst out and rolled down like beads from a broken string.

"Do you know? Do you know how scared I am? I'm afraid you will never wake up again, and I'm afraid Chuchu and Sijin will lose their father..."

She choked up and spoke intermittently about the grievances and bitterness she had experienced over the years.

Chuxiong listened quietly, his heart broken.

How could he not know how much his wife had endured? She was forced to leave her hometown with her child without knowing anything, and was separated from her child because of that man's conspiracy.

"It's all my fault..." Chu Xiong's voice was full of self-blame, "It's me who failed to protect you, it's me who made you suffer so much..."

"What's the point of saying this now?" Cui Ying wiped her tears.

There was a hint of resentment in his tone, "Am I not worthy of knowing anything? Do you know what we encountered on the way back?"

Cui Ying hesitated to speak. She didn't want to talk about the accident again and even felt scared when she thought about it.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xiong keenly noticed his wife's strange behavior and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Cui Ying took a deep breath and told Chu Yang about his surveillance of him. This time when he came back, Chu Sijin was held hostage.

He told Chuxiong that he had to jump out of the plane because of the plane crash.

After hearing what his wife said, Chu Xiong's face turned pale, his fists were clenched tightly, and his nails almost dug into his flesh.

"This beast!" Chu Xiong gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, "I will never let him go!"

"What are you going to do?" Cui Ying looked at him worriedly, "Chu Yang is now fully grown, we can't beat him."

"We must fight even if we can't win!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Chu Xiong's eyes.

"I can't let him do whatever he wants! I must protect you and our two daughters."

He struggled to sit up, but found that he had no strength left in his body.

“Don’t move!” Cui Ying quickly supported him. “Your body has just gotten a little better, so you should recuperate first.”

Chu Xiong's gaze then fell carefully on Cui Ying. She had sunken eye sockets, a pale face, and chapped lips.

The whole person looked like a delicate flower ravaged by a storm, so fragile that it made people feel distressed.

Only then did he realize how much pressure his wife had been under in just a few hours.

Not only did she have to worry about her own health, but she also had to face Chu Yang's threats.

Even experienced a life-or-death airplane accident.

"Aying..." Chu Xiong's voice became even hoarser, with a strong sense of guilt, "You... should also go and have a rest."

Cui Ying forced a smile and shook her head: "I'm not tired, I'm glad you woke up."

She reached out and stroked Chu Xiong's cheek. The touch of her fingertips made her feel at ease. Being alive was better than anything else.

"Be obedient and go to sleep for a while." Chu Xiong insisted.

He grabbed Cui Ying's hand, feeling the coldness of her palm, and felt even more guilty.

Cui Ying couldn't persuade him, so she had to agree: "Then... I'll go see Chuchu and Sijin."

After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the next room.

The two girls were sleeping in each other's arms, with tears still on Chuchu's face, while Sijin hugged her sister tightly, warming each other.

Seeing this scene, Cui Ying's heart felt like it was pricked by a needle and she felt a burst of pain.

She gently tucked them in and quietly left the room.

After all, it was someone else's house, and Cui Ying was not very familiar with the location of the guest room.

So he tiptoed back to Chuxiong's room, afraid of disturbing him.

Under the dim light, Chuxiong's sleeping face looked peaceful.

She sat down beside his bed and stared at him quietly.

The traces of time have carved deep wrinkles on his face and also whitened his temples.

But in her eyes, he is still the man who makes her heart beat.

Qin Luo was awakened by the smell of food.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up in bed.

He turned his head and saw Chu Chu staring at him with her eyes wide open, without blinking.

Those eyes were clear and bright, and Qin Luo was stunned for a moment.

"Why did you come to my place so early in the morning? Where is Sijin?"

Qin Luo rubbed his sleepy eyes and lifted the quilt.

The delicate little figure ran out of the door in a flash.

Qin Luo shook his head helplessly. This girl was so mysterious.

He got dressed and walked out of the room. A rich aroma of food hit his nose, tempting his taste buds.

Following the smell, Qin Luo came to the restaurant.

The table was filled with sumptuous dishes, which were delicious and made him very hungry.

But what surprised him even more was the person sitting at the table—Chuxiong.

Chu Chu and Chu Sijin looked at Qin Luo in surprise.

Although the effect of the medicine was already anticipated.

But Qin Luo didn't expect that he would be able to get out of bed the next day.

"Thank you, Qin Luo." Chu Chu and Si Jin said in unison.

There was a gleam of surprise in his eyes.

Qin Luo looked at the scene in front of him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

Qin Luo walked up to the two girls and ruffled Chuchu's hair.

He patted Chu Sijin's shoulder again.

"It's okay, your father is awake." His tone was relaxed, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness.

When the two girls saw Qin Luo's smile, they also relaxed and showed a long-lost smile on their faces.

Watching this scene, Chu Xiong interrupted.

"Come and eat, it will get cold soon."

A simple breakfast, but full of warm atmosphere.

Chuxiong's complexion was obviously much better and his appetite was good.

This made Cui Ying and her two daughters feel relieved.

During the meal, Sijin chattered away, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

After dinner, Chu Xiong looked at Qin Luo, "Qin Luo, let's go to the study. I have something to talk to you about."

Qin Luo stood up tacitly and took Chu Xiong to his study.

"Qin Luo, this time, it's all thanks to you." Chu Xiong's voice was low.

Feeling thankful for having survived the catastrophe, he said, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..."

Qin Luo waved his hand, signaling him not to say more.

He naturally knew what Chu Xiong was referring to.

Chu Yang's plan this time is extremely vicious and interconnected.

If he didn't have the cheat and SCP-500, he would probably only be able to collect Chuxiong's body now.

"This kid Chu Yang is completely hopeless." Chu Xiong slammed the table hard, shaking the teacup so much that it jumped up. "He actually dared to use such a heavy hand on you, it's simply lawless!"

Qin Luo's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, but his tone remained calm: "He is desperate."

"Yes, now most of the shares of the Chu Group are in your hands, so naturally he can't sit still."

Chu Xiong sighed, his brows full of worry.

Qin Luo didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

"In order to get you on a certain path, he increased the dosage of the medicine he gave me and even set up a trap on the plane, waiting for you to get on it."

Qin Luo reached out and patted Chu Xiong's shoulder with a steady force, as if silently transmitting strength.

"Father-in-law, don't blame yourself too much. It's over. What's important is that you're okay now."

Chu Xiong took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"Qin Luo, although you saved my life, you still have to treat my two daughters well, otherwise, I will not be lenient."

Qin Luo smiled slightly, "Just put your mind at ease, how could I bully them!"

As soon as the conversation changed, Qin Luo mentioned Lu Biao.

"Father-in-law, is Lu Biao... really dead?" Qin Luo's voice was very soft, as if he was testing, or as if he was confirming.

Chu Xiong fell into silence, his eyes wandering, as if he was recalling some painful past.

The study was so quiet that one could hear the ticking of the wall clock, which, time and again, struck at their tense nerves.

Qin Luo did not rush him, he knew that some things took time to digest and accept.

After a long while, Chu Xiong slowly spoke.

His voice was as hoarse as sandpaper rubbing against a wooden board: "Lu Biao... He is actually my lifesaver."

"But I'm not sure whether what happened back then was something he directed and acted out himself or just went with the flow."

Qin Luo raised his eyebrows slightly
The relationship between Chu Xiong and Lu Biao has always been confusing. It is rumored that the two were brothers who had sworn brotherhood, but later became enemies because of their own interests.

But what the truth is, I'm afraid only they themselves know.

"Back then, when I just founded the Chu family, the foundation was unstable, and there were jackals, tigers and leopards everywhere, trying to tear me apart and devour me." There was a hint of fatigue in Chu Xiong's voice.

Obviously, years of medication have drained some of the old man's energy.

"It was Lu Biao. He helped me block those hidden attacks and even took a bullet for me..."

He paused, and his tone became heavier: "That shot was originally aimed at me."

Qin Luo listened quietly without interrupting. He knew that the next part was the key point.

"After Lu Biao was shot, he didn't even have time to be sent to the hospital, and he died," Chu Xiong's voice choked.
"I feel guilty towards him and his family. So, I adopted Chu Yang as my adopted son."

A question popped up in Qin Luo's mind: If Lu Biao was indeed dead, what role did Chu Yang play? Could a ten-year-old child really control all this?

He asked casually, "What about Chu Yang? How old was he at the time?"

"Ten years old." Chu Xiong's tone was filled with reluctance and depression.

"After his father's death, his personality changed drastically."

Qin Luo sneered in his heart. His temperament changed drastically? Or was there someone behind the scenes manipulating him?

"He said he hated me, hated me for not protecting Lu Biao, and hated me for making him lose his father."

Chu Xiong said calmly, "He thinks I killed Lu Biao."

"So, he started to retaliate against you?" Qin Luo asked the most crucial question.

Chu Xiong did not answer directly, but fell into deeper silence.

The air in the study seemed to be frozen, so oppressive that it made people feel breathless.

Qin Luo was not in a hurry. He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled smoke rings, surrounded by smoke.

His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through all disguises.

"Qin Luo," Chu Xiong suddenly raised his head and made up his mind.

"Actually, I'm a little confused about what happened back then."

"Because at that time, from the time Lu Biao was shot to the time he lost his breath and then the death notice was issued, everything happened very quickly."

“Thinking back now, it was like turning on the fast-forward button.”

"But my mind was so distracted at the time that I didn't notice it."

"Lu Biao died instantly after being shot, without even a single word left."

"Then the ambulance came with its sirens blaring, and the piercing sound cut through the heavy air."

"The medical staff quickly jumped out of the car and skillfully lifted Lu Biao onto a stretcher."

"It was clear that the person had stopped breathing, but the medical staff did not care about that."

"They pushed the person into the car without caring about anything."

"I didn't even know who notified Chu Yang. I drove and followed the ambulance to the hospital."

"I found that little Chu Yang was sitting on a chair in the hall."

"Chu Yang, that kid, is only ten years old, and he's holding his father's death notice."

"Sitting there expressionlessly, like a little adult."

Chu Xiong's voice trembled a little, "I was... I was really confused at that time."

"I didn't even get to see Lu Biao for the last time. The hospital had already cremated him."

"It is said that Chu Yang himself said that his father hoped that he could be cremated after his death."

"Now that I think about it, it was probably Lu Biao's plan to fake his death and escape."

"Take advantage of the situation and atmosphere. Make sure people don't pay attention to the little things that are wrong."

Chu Xiong continued, "I asked him, how did you know that your father...wanted to be cremated?" His voice deepened.

"Do you know how he answered me?"

Qin Luo did not respond, but just shook his head slightly, motioning Chu Xiong to continue.

"He said that Daddy once said that when a person dies, it's like they're asleep."

"If you burn it to ashes, you will be as free as the wind." Chu Xiong smiled bitterly.

"Can you believe an eight-year-old child saying such a thing?"

Qin Luo flicked the ash from his cigarette, his eyes flickering. "So, you believed it at that time?"

"I...how can I not believe it?" Chu Xiong was a little excited.

"Lu Biao did say something similar, and what else could I do under the circumstances? Could I question a child who had just lost his father?"

Qin Luo didn't say anything, but just smoked quietly, his eyes as deep as an ancient well.

This makes things very clear.

From the time Lu Biao was shot to his death and then to his cremation, the whole process was incredibly fast.

This was the escape plan that Lu Biao arranged for himself.

After his death, he was perfectly hidden behind the scenes, so no matter what happened, he could not be suspected.

After all, no one would doubt a dead person.

Qin Luo clicked his tongue.

This Lu Biao is really good at calculating.

I'm afraid that Chu Yang, who was still young at the time, was also arranged by him early on.

Just like that, after all these years of education, Chu Yang would never be a good person.

Just when Qin Luo thought that the matter was clear and was about to let Xiao A search for Lu Biao's location.

Chuxiong quickly dropped another bombshell.

"Lu Biao did die a few days ago."

Qin Luo narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Xiong with a clear meaning. (End of this chapter)
