But he didn't...

He had always been busy with work and had no time to take good care of his child. When he was less than three months old, he gave little Xia Lingge to be raised by Xia's mother's best friend - He Zhinian's mother, Ling Ling. Sansan might not be able to return home for three to five years. Lingge grew up slowly, and they became more and more estranged. They even... didn't even know that their child had a mental illness.

"Dad, I'm sorry for you..."

Father Xia's voice was hoarse and his eyes were a little red.

Xia Lingge had never seen him like this. Although she only met her father a handful of times in her memory, whenever there was a news report on a major case, Aunt He would hold her little one on her lap, and then Pointing at the person on the TV, he said, "Xiao Lingge, have you seen it? This is your father. Your father is a great hero." '

Aunt He would sometimes complain about why her father was always busy and delayed in coming to accompany her when he promised to do so. But most of the time, Aunt He would tell her that her father was a great hero.

Xia Lingge didn't quite understand what a hero was, but she felt that it must be a great title, so now seeing the person who had always been called a hero crying like a child, she felt something unspeakable in her heart. She felt that her father should not be like this, but she also felt that her father would be like this.

She raised her hand and took out a few tissues and handed them over. She said softly: "Don't cry. This disease is not a big deal. It just weakens the mood a little. And I have been living like this for so many years. I can't live a normal life."

Xia's father took the paper handed over by Xia Lingge and saw the rose watch wrapped around her elbow through the slightly rolled up sleeve of her left wrist. Xia's father felt slightly pained and said slowly: "Goodbye I'm afraid, Dad will definitely protect you."

……

Sicheng: [Senior, is it convenient for me to come and meet you? 】

Xia Lingge entered "convenience" and closed WeChat. Xia's father had already returned to the police station, but she saw a black car coming out of her downstairs at some point and parked next to the flower bed silently, but she knew it was Her father sent someone to protect her. Although it was just a guess, she was sure that the cases her father had handled in recent days were related to rose watches.

She lowered the curtains, put on her down jacket, picked up her schoolbag and walked downstairs unhurriedly. When she passed the black car, she didn't even glance at it, she just passed by it neatly.

Officer Xiao Zhang, who was hiding in the car to protect Xia Lingge, put down the bread he had chewed, took out his cell phone and called Xia's father: "Master, Ling, Lingge is out, do you want me to follow her?"

"What is she doing so late at night?" Father Xia frowned. "Follow me. Ling Ge now has a rose watch, which is exactly the same as the ones we found at the crime scene. She may be targeted. Follow her and don't alert others. If Okay, let’s see if we can lure out the people behind.”

"You must ensure Lingge's safety!"

"Don't worry, Master." Officer Xiao Zhang took the order and started the car and followed Xia Lingge slowly.

Xia Lingge found a shared bicycle and scanned the code, then hung up one of her headphones and listened to music while heading towards the cold drink shop she had agreed with Sicheng.

When she heard the door of the cold drink shop, she put down the shared bicycle and opened the door and walked in. Officer Xiao Zhang parked the car next to the curb. The thick shade of the trees cast a shadow. Through the glass, she could just see Xia Lingge's delicate appearance. The young man walked away.

Xia Lingge sat in front of Sicheng: "What's the matter?"

Sicheng was also unambiguous: "I asked my sister, and she said that she had indeed participated."

At that time, their family had already fallen apart. Their mother was dead, and their drunken father took away all the money and fled, leaving only Si Ruan and Si Cheng. Si Ruan dropped out of school early to work to earn money to support himself and his younger brother.At that time, Si Ruan almost had a mental breakdown. The only person who could comfort her was a boyfriend she met online. This boyfriend was a game development designer at Qin Sheng Group and one of the players in the game's internal beta test.

On the eve of the independent development of the game terminal, this boyfriend once took Si Ruan to experience the closed beta game. The company stipulated that the game be tested internally and the data was strictly confidential, so he only took Si Ruan to experience the semi-defective product in the game stage. Although It is not as shocking and immersive as the orthodox games, but the beautiful game scenes and vivid equipment and facilities are enough to soothe and vent your inner emotions.

There was a time when Si Ruan and her boyfriend entered a holographic game every day.

"What happened next?" Xia Lingge asked.

Si Cheng frowned: "It was nothing after that. After her boyfriend officially entered the game beta, they often entered the half-deficient game page. Until one day, her boyfriend suddenly died of heart failure and she I’ve never touched that holographic game again.”

After he finished speaking, he suddenly chuckled mockingly: "She did not enter the orthodox game, but was a poor, semi-defective product. I don't know whether I should feel lucky or not."

Xia Lingge said: "So do you believe Chen Liang now?"

Sicheng did not confirm or deny. He was silent for a while, his smile became more mocking and bitter, "I don't know... If it is true that my sister's cancer was caused by excessive radiation from the game as Chen Liang said, then I should really hate Qin Sheng, but Now my sister..."

"Her illness has improved, right?" Xia Lingge said.

Si Cheng nodded. Although Qin Sheng did hate him, the rewards he promised did come true. High medical and surgical fees, as well as well-known specialists at home and abroad, have been arranged. Si Ruan's condition is now It was also under control and would no longer continue to deteriorate. If he, Chen Liang and the others cooperated to bring down the Qin Sheng Group, he didn't know if he would be able to afford those huge expenses again.

"Senior, am I too cowardly..." He knew that it was wrong, knew that he wanted to stop and resist, but he was still hesitating about his own selfish desires, and even a little afraid...

He is really too inferior.

Xia Lingge said softly: "No one said you have to be strong. After Si Ruan fell ill, you were able to support the broken family alone. You have done well enough."

Si Cheng looked at her with red eyes: "Senior sister..."

Xia Lingge picked up the list of various drinks on the table and said slowly: "I already know what you think. Now, do you want to hear what I think?"

Outside the cold drink shop.

Officer Xiao Zhang, who had been staring at them, scratched his chin and said, "They don't eat anything, they don't drink anything. What are these two people mumbling about?"

He opened the car door and got out of the car, pushed down the peaked cap he was wearing, crossed the zebra crossing and came to the cold drink shop. The bell hanging on the shop rang slightly. He quickly closed the door and found an inconspicuous seat. sit down.

Xia Lingge opened her mouth, glanced sideways at him, and then suddenly changed the subject.
