The old building was dark and quiet as usual.
Room 401 on the fourth floor still had a warm light coming in through the crack in the door.
Lu Xin was prepared to receive his father’s angry glare when he pushed the door open.
However, to his surprise, after he pushed open the door and walked in, he saw a happy and harmonious scene.
His sister was sitting on the sofa, watching TV. The TV was playing the same old SpongeBob SquarePants.
She was still nibbling on a piece of black chocolate in her hand.
It was as if she was worried that she would finish it all at once, so she scraped it bit by bit with her sharp teeth. She could only scrape a little bit each time, but she looked very happy, and her eyes were curved.
Her mother was on the phone by the window, her face full of smiles. Oh, miss Chen, you don’t know how nice it is for a family to go out. It’s good for your health and your mood. Also, I met a good friend this time …
the flowers she planted are very beautiful. I’ll ask you to visit her next time …
Even his father was sitting at the dining table, guarding an old glass bottle. He was slowly drinking his wine, but he did not seem to have drunk too much. There was not much tipsy on his face, and even when he saw Lu Xin enter, he only snorted.
big brother, you guys took so long to come back …
When the younger sister saw Lu Xin, she immediately pounced on him happily and reached into his pocket.
Lu Xin allowed her to take the last piece of chocolate from his pocket before he carried her and placed her on the sofa.
Fortunately, she did not search her backpack. There were only a dozen pieces left .
Her mother put down the phone with a smile and said, ‘”You’re indeed late. I’ve been waiting for you to eat!”
Lu Xin nodded and walked to the dining table.
At this time, the house had been cleaned up. The chairs that were broken by his father and mother in the fight had been repaired and placed neatly on the table. There were some exquisite dishes on the table. Although it looked the same as before, with most of the dishes being green, it was obviously more sumptuous than before. At least, there was a plate of scrambled eggs near Lu
Xin.
Lu Xin really liked this feeling.
Entering the house this time made him feel surprisingly at ease.
He sat down quietly and said with a smile, “”lf you’re hungry, you can eat first. Don’t wait for me.
“Hmph!”
His father, who was drinking, put down his glass heavily.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little tense. His mother and sister looked at their father at the same time.
His father seemed to have thought of something. He pursed his lips unnaturally and said, “I know I’m waiting for you. Come back earlier next time!” Lu Xin’s mood immediately relaxed, and he nodded with a smile. “I know.” It turned out that his father wasn’t angry this time.
Or rather, he had been angry all this time, but his mood was much better than before.
“If we’re not wrong, this should be the laboratory data on the escape!”
Chen Jing picked up the last document printed with the word “003” and slowly said, “We all know how important this document is. Even the six professors in the Research Institute don’t have enough authority to know the contents, so we
I didn’t let them know because their mouths are too big and they don’t know how to keep secrets.
everyone here knows what’s going on, ” chief Shen said. just open it! “Actually, little Chen’s worry is also necessary!”
Teacher su said softly with a smile, ” we all know how important the lunar eclipse Research Institute, or rather, the Alliance, is to this escaped laboratory. We never thought that it would come to our qingang city … So, before we can confirm that we understand this secret, it’s actually very reasonable for us to unify our own opinions .
When Chen Jing heard this, she immediately nodded.
Professor Bai, who was sitting beside them, leaned on The Walking stick in her hand and said with a smile, I think all of you have misunderstood. We are not discussing how to deal with Shan Bing. Shan Bing is a member of our Special Investigation Department. There is no need to discuss how to deal with him.
“What we need to do is to understand him.”
He smiled and looked at Chen Jing. open it. We are not gambling now. We are just doing our job!
“This …”
Chen Jing opened her mouth slightly but closed it in the end.
She couldn’t object to what professor Bai said, so she opened the document in silence.
“I’m in a good mood after this trip. I even made new friends.”
At the dining table in satellite city No. 2, his mother smiled and said, “”ln the future, we can have more of such trips.”
“Alright .
His sister, who was squatting on the chair, was the first to raise her hand.
Even his father only snorted once, but this time, the strength of his snort was much lighter, more like he was agreeing with this opinion.
Lu Xin nodded in agreement. He too loved seeing his family happy. “However, there are some bad things that need to be criticized!”
Mother’s tone changed as she looked at father and said, ‘”You’re so hot-tempered that your family is very nervous.”
His father rolled his eyes and looked at his mother with slightly red eyes.
However, his mother met his gaze and said sternly, “”A family should trust and help each other. If you do this every time, we will no longer trust each other, and this family will be broken. So, I’m warning you seriously, if you don’t get rid of this habit, then don’t even think about following the whole family out in the future …
“You …”
His father gritted his teeth and leaned forward.
The house shook slightly, and his eyes were more bloodshot, giving off a great sense of oppression.
However, his mother did not waver. She only looked at him coldly.
Meeting his mother’s gaze, his father unexpectedly fell silent.
In the end, he just gritted his teeth and sneered, no longer saying anything.
Looking at his attitude, he actually seemed to have agreed …
Lu Xin suddenly felt that these words might be directed at him.
Her father was not so easy to talk to, and he would not suddenly suppress his anger just because of her mother’s gaze.
In that case, it was possible that they had reached an agreement in the day and a half before he returned to the satellite city.
“Alright, it’s your turn to speak .
At this moment, his mother turned to Lu Xin and said gently, ” I know that you’re very curious and have a lot of questions in your heart. Sometimes, you want to understand these things. Actually, I don’t want to stop you, really. It’s just like what I told you when we were in Happy Town. On the contrary, I support you in understanding these things. After all, you’re all grown up now, and you can’t always be confused .
Lu Xin raised his head in silence.
Then, he saw that his father and sister were also looking at him.
His father’s eyes were bloodshot. He looked at him coldly, as if he hated him, or . Scared?
The younger sister, on the other hand, had her eyes wide open. The only thing that could be seen was worry.
In the main city’s building, Chen Jing had already opened the document bag and was slowly opening it.
The other three people at the conference table were also a little nervous. They straightened their bodies at the same time and leaned forward slightly.
they didn’t know what kind of secret they would see, but they knew how important it was to the Alliance.
Especially director Shen, he knew the importance of prying into that person’s secrets. Although the last time, it was because that person had said not to pry, and the consequences were caused. This time, there was no such statement . However, the worry in his heart did not go away. With Chen Jing’s movements, his heart seemed to have constricted .
Then, under their expectant eyes, Chen Jing was slightly stunned.
Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.
In their nervous eyes, Chen Jing’s eyes suddenly became a little helpless.
Then, she turned the file over and gently poured out a pile of paper scraps …
It was already so broken that it couldn’t be further broken, and it was completely impossible to recover.
“Alright, I promise you!”
Back in the apartment building, Lu Xin nodded his head lightly and smiled at his mother.
The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became more relaxed.
The father continued to drink, while the sister ate and watched TV.
A smile appeared on her mother’s face as she said, “”ln that case, I should give you this gift .
From the side of the dining table, she pulled out a folder with the words “003” printed on it. She smiled and showed it to Lu Xin. this is the gift we decided to give you after discussing it. There’s something you want to know in it …
As she spoke, she stood up and placed the laptop in the drawer in front of the TV and locked it.
She then placed the key in Lu Xin’s hand and held his hand as she looked at him with a gentle gaze.
but remember, you must reach the second stage before you can read it …
Lu Xin tightened his grip on the keys under the watchful eyes of the entire family.
Then, he nodded his head seriously..
