Chapter 1955: A Line of Life

Hong's Hotel's surveillance only has video and no sound.

But Lu Jin has learned lip language, and can roughly guess what the other party is saying based on the angles of lips opening and closing, facial expressions, and tongue movements when these people speak in the surveillance video.

However, the monitoring angle is not very good, because there are large green plants in this corner to create a privacy atmosphere, and also block the monitoring range of some cameras.

Lu Jin could probably only clearly see half of the people's facial expressions and the direction in which their lips moved.

But for this half of the people, he also understood the whole story.

Indeed, as Huo Shaoheng said, no points increase, no points decrease.

It's hard for Lu Jin to admire someone, but Huo Shaoheng has gradually gained Lu Jin's respect and approval just like Lu Yuan in his professional field.

After confirming that Huo Shaoheng was not exaggerating, Lu Jin's experience with Gu Nianzhi became even more uncomfortable.

At one point, he even wondered if his decision was wrong.

If Gu Nianzhi were allowed to hold a wedding with Huo Shaoheng earlier, and let people all over the world know that Gu Nianzhi is Huo Shaoheng's wife, then no one would look down on her like this, thinking that she could be sacrificed at any time, right?

Although it was just a small matter like reserving a seat, in Lu Jin's heart, it was related to his daughter's personality and dignity.

He didn't give Gu Nianzhi a carefree and harmless childhood. In order to make up for it, he has to work harder than ordinary fathers, so that his daughter's future roads will be extremely wide and smooth.

Silently downloaded the surveillance video to his mobile phone, Lu Jin went to check the surveillance video elsewhere in the lobby that day.

At this time, he also saw that the two women named Guo Huining and Dou Aiyan had gone to the second floor, but halfway there, they saw Huo Shaoheng coming down, so they hid quickly.

Huo Shaoheng didn't see these two people, and these two people didn't go upstairs after Huo Shaoheng came down, but returned to the reserved seat, and called the other two friends from the investment bank.

Seeing them talking and laughing happily, as if what happened just now had never happened, Lu Jin snorted coldly.

...

In the following week, Lu Jin lived a step-by-step life.

Get up in the morning and finish breakfast, then video chat with Gu Nianzhi for a while, talk about what happened the day before, and then talk about what to do today.

If Gu Nianzhi is interested, she will come to Lu Jin's apartment and work with him.

If she is busy, Lu Jin will continue her own research.

But most of the time, he was called by Song Jinning to the Institute of High Energy Physics to give lectures to her graduate students and researchers.

Lu Jin has been hired by Song Jinning as a visiting professor at the Institute of High Energy Physics. He has a formal title, salary, and complete benefits.

Lu Yuan was very supportive of Lu Jin's lectures at the Institute of High Energy Physics, so that he could take the opportunity of delivering food to Lu Jin and also deliver a well-prepared delicacy to Song Jinning.

Song Jinning also spent these eighteen years in pain.

Although with the help of Gu Nianzhi's bone marrow, she has returned to normal, but the nervous system that was once out of control still needs to be repaired and nourished.

The guilt in Lu Yuan's heart was unparalleled, but he never said a word.

Song Jinning thought that he had benefited from the proximity of the road, and after a few days of eating, his mouth became more and more dangling. Occasionally, he went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, but he couldn't swallow it.

It was Friday, and Lu Yuan was a little late when he went to deliver lunch to Lu Jin.

Song Jinning didn't eat breakfast, and waited for Lu Yuan to deliver the meal, but he was so hungry that Lu Yuan hadn't come yet.

She was so hungry that she almost had hypoglycemia, and she sat listlessly in front of the laboratory bench, thinking about whether she should go to the cafeteria to buy lunch.

In the end, hunger overcame everything, and when she got up to go to the cafeteria, Lu Yuan finally came.

As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said: "Sorry, it's a bit late today. I answered a phone call when I was leaving, and I have to rush out later. I just made a few simple dishes. You eat first, and I will cook when I go back tonight." Feast."

Song Jinning immediately took the food box and said with a smile: "You are here,

I'm so hungry! "

Lu Yuan: "..."

Although he himself said it was "late", it was only half an hour later than his usual delivery time, why did he faint from hunger?

He raised his eyes to look at Song Jinning's laboratory, but he didn't see Lu Jin's figure, so he asked softly, "Where's Lu Jin?"

Song Jinning opened his food box, took out the food, and said, "I'm still doing the experiment, I said I'll have lunch after the results come out."

With Lu Jin's appearance, he was obviously not hungry yet.

Why is Song Jinning so hungry?

Lu Yuan looked at his watch and asked calmly, "Director Song, what did you have for breakfast?"

Song Jinning put a mouthful of fried rice in his mouth, chewed it contentedly, and said after swallowing it, "...I was too busy in the morning, so I didn't have time to eat."

Lu Yuan: "..."

It seems that starting from next week, Lu Jin will have to bring two breakfasts.

Lu Yuan made a silent note in his heart and said, "Then I'll go first. Put the food box in the refrigerator after eating, and I'll take it home with me to clean at night."

"It's okay, I just washed it." Song Jinning was in a good mood after eating, and waved to Lu Yuan, "You go to work, I will give this lunch to Professor Lu."

Lu Yuan said nothing more, smiled at her, turned and left the Institute of High Energy Physics.

After getting into the car, he drove all the way to the Military General Hospital.

He hadn't been to this place once since his return.

He knew that his father Huo Xuenong had become a vegetable and was being treated here.

But he didn't want to see this father at all.

Moreover, his surname is no longer Huo, legally speaking, Huo Xuenong has nothing to do with him.

But the law is the law, and he is Huo Xuenong's own son, there is no doubt about it.

Huo Guanchen took the initiative to call him today and told him to come to the Military General Hospital to see his father, saying that he had something important to discuss with him.

In fact, it was Zhang Baochen who called Huo Guanchen and said that he was transferred to another hospital to try to treat Huo Xuenong.

After hearing Zhang Baochen's reasons, Huo Guanchen thought there was nothing wrong with it, but he said that he would think about it temporarily and give Zhang Baochen an answer in two days.

If Huo Guanchen disagreed, it would be impossible for Zhang Baochen to take Huo Xuenong out of the Military General Hospital alone.

And Huo Guanchen also thought that when Huo Guanyuan came back, his father would also have a part, so this kind of matter needed to be discussed by the three brothers before making a decision.

Of course, because of Huo Guanyuan's special status, Huo Guanchen still has this bit of vigilance. He didn't tell Zhang Baochen that Huo Guanyuan had returned. Mr. Huo's side.

Lu Yuan thought for a long time before deciding to take a look at Huo Xuenong.

Not for anything else, he just wanted to see what happened to this man now.

Like Huo Shaoheng, he is not a person full of emotions.

In fact, the most important feature of those who work on special fronts is calmness, extraordinary calmness, calmness that transcends emotions and desires.

Another important feature is decisiveness, a decisiveness that is absolutely not dragging its feet.

After such a long time, their feelings will be hidden very deeply, sometimes even so deep that they can't even detect it.

...

Lu Yuan parked his car in the parking lot of the Military General Hospital, and came to the place he had agreed with Huo Guanchen alone, which was Huo Xuenong's ward.

Because it was Friday, the nurse Huo Guanchen hired had just left, and Huo Guanchen was sitting alone in Mr. Huo's ward, lost in thought.

The door of the ward was open, and Lu Yuan knocked on the door.

Huo Guanchen turned his head and saw that Lu Yuan was coming, he nodded at him and said, "Brother, you are here."

Lu Yuan strolled in and said flatly, "I told you before, my surname is Lu, not your elder brother."

Huo Guanchen smiled wryly, turned his head to look at Huo Xuenong who was motionless on the hospital bed, and said, "Okay, Lu Yuan, look at your father, I haven't seen you for eighteen years, do you really miss him at all?"

Lu Yuan thought to himself that decades ago, after he knew that Huo Xuenong had an illegitimate child with his head nurse, he no longer had any father-son feelings for Huo Xuenong.

Now if he is asked to say that he misses him, if he is so against his will, even when he is on a mission, he may not be able to say it.

Lu Yuan put his hands in his trouser pockets, leaned against the window sill indifferently, and said, "I have too many things to think about, and my brain capacity is limited, so irrelevant people are temporarily excluded."

"Our father is an irrelevant person?!" Huo Guanchen turned his head back in shock, staring at Lu Yuan, "You were not like this back then! Where have you been these eighteen years?! How did you become like this?!"

What about his gentle, gentle, generous and kind elder brother? !

He has always refused to accept the big brother who had a big fight with him a few days ago, even thinking that what the big brother said was just angry words.

When he is in a better mood, the two brothers will be able to settle down.

Lu Yuan crossed his arms and looked at Huo Guanchen expressionlessly. After a while, he shook his head and said, "What on earth did you ask me to do?"

Huo Guanchen racked his brains and said without words: "Zhang Baochen is our third brother, he said..."

"Shut up." Lu Yuan stopped him resolutely without getting angry, "I don't have a third brother, I only have a second brother, and his name is Lu Jin."

At this time, even Huo Guanchen didn't recognize him anymore.

Huo Guanchen was at a loss for words for a while, and then became annoyed by the words. He stood up and pointed at Lu Yuan and said, "Whether you admit it or not, you are my big brother! Dear big brother"

Pointing to the motionless Huo Xuenong on the hospital bed, he said: "...It's his son too! My son"

Lu Yuan lowered his arms, stood up straight, and smiled alienatedly: "No, you kiss your elder brother, his son, who died eighteen years ago. The one standing in front of you now is another person. Whether you believe Believe it or not, that's the truth."

Huo Guanchen was overwhelmed by Lu Yuan's momentum.

Lu Yuan put his hands in his trouser pockets again, lightened them slightly, and turned to leave Huo Xuenong's ward.

Huo Guanchen's hands were trembling, and a word rolled in his chest, but he couldn't say it.

He knew that General Ji and the others had already approved Lu Yuan's change of name.

This kind of thing is also a routine operation for people in Lu Yuan's industry.

But he just doesn't want to, just doesn't want to!

He knows better than anyone else what he will do once Lu Yuan completely gives up his identity as Huo Guanyuan...

Seeing Lu Yuan's receding back, Huo Guanchen yelled: "Brother! Do you really think no one can care about you?!"

Lu Yuan heard his yelling, but he didn't intend to stop, and still walked forward unhurriedly.

Seeing the aging old man on the hospital bed, his heart really didn't fluctuate at all, and he didn't want to laugh.

I just feel calm and indifferent, no different from seeing a stranger.

As for Huo Guanchen's violent reaction, Lu Yuan also expected it.

But he doesn't care, doesn't want to care anymore.

Huo Guanchen stood alone in Huo Xuenong's ward. It wasn't until dark that the nurse came in to make rounds and turned on the light. Only then did he regain his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Picking up the phone, he walked to the corridor at the door, dialed Zhang Baochen, and said, "Baochen? Okay, I agree. You can help father transfer."

The worst outcome for my father is just the same as now.

In Huo Guanchen's view, there is no worse result than the present one, so why not let Zhang Baochen have a try?

Maybe there is still a chance.
