"Xiao Na, how are you? Have you recovered? Has your high fever gone away completely?"
"Thank you, Lao Xu, for your concern. I'm much better. The high fever has gone away. Everything is fine. Nothing serious."
"Well, that's good!" He nodded knowingly, and after speaking, Old Xu glanced at Old Zhao subconsciously.
At this time, Lao Zhao had completely lost his earlier decadence and was full of energy and energy.
Everyone had a delicious lunch. After the meal, everyone had an hour's rest, and everyone went back to their houses in groups of three or five.
Seeing this, Lao Xu stopped Luo Baochun who was about to leave. When the latter heard Lao Xu calling him, he stood firm and turned his head: "What's the matter? Lao Xu?"
Old Xu smiled: "It's nothing, I just need to discuss something with you about the vehicle. Do you have time to discuss it with me now?"
Luo Baochun responded without any hesitation: "Of course I'm free, tell me what you want me to do."
"Haha, this is not the place to talk. Weiyang and the others still need to clean up. Let's go to my place and we can talk in detail."
"It's done!"
Under the guidance of Xu Renjie, Luo Baochun followed him to the room.
Lao Xu gave away all the beautiful paintings and Li Xiaoxin inside, leaving only him and Luo Baochun.
"Hey, Ronaldinho, don't just stand there like that, come on, sit down." Xu Renjie gestured, pointing to the chairs and stools beside the table.
"drink water?"
"No, no, I drank a lot of soup at noon."
"Yes!" Lao Xu didn't force it and poured some hot water for himself.
"Old Xu, can you say anything now?" Looking at Huabiao and others walking away, Luo Baochun felt that something was not right with Lao Xu today.
Lao Xu seemed quite calm. He opened the bench and held the tea cup. After sitting down, he took a sip of the hot water in the palm of his hand. Then he leisurely asked: "Little Luo, do you remember what you told me last time?"
After being slightly stunned, Luo Baochun asked in confusion: "Old Xu, what are you referring to?"
"It's what you went through before you came to us."
"Oh. About that, you...why...didn't you talk about the vehicle issue?" Luo Baochun looked suspicious.
Lao Xu still maintained his usual expression, with a solemn face that made you unable to tell what he was thinking.
But this time, Lao Xu gave a rare smile, and then said: "Don't worry about the vehicle now. I have a few questions about what happened last time that I want to confirm with Brother Luo."
"This...Old Xu. Is there anything else that needs to be confirmed about those things?" When he said this, Luo Baochun's eyes were a little erratic. He seemed to be avoiding Xu Renjie intentionally, but he didn't dare to look at him as he glanced around. Lao Xu's eyes.
There are no three hundred taels of silver here, and Luo Baochun's strangeness naturally fell in Lao Xu's eyes. However, Lao Xu did not express anything because of this, but continued unhurriedly: "Well, it's nothing, I'm just curious about something, what? Brother Luo, don’t you want to mention this matter?”
"Uh..." He hesitated. After hesitating, Luo Baochun hesitated for a long time before replying: "Old Xu, you also know that the past is hard to look back on. I really don't want to recall it. If possible, see if we can..."
Raising his hand to interrupt Luo Baochun's words, Lao Xu nodded understandingly: "No need to say anything, Brother Luo, I understand your worries. How about this? Is it okay for you to inquire about someone?"
Things have come to this. If Luo Baochun refuses again, it would really be a bit too much.
Luo Baochun understood this very well, so he hesitated for a few seconds. Zuihong bowed his head and nodded: "Okay, Lao Xu, tell me. Who do you want to know? If I know, I will tell you."
"Well, I believe you must know this person." The corner of Lao Xu's lips smiled, but Luo Baochun looked at this arc and felt that something was not right.
"who?"
"Ma Rucheng."
"Ma...Rucheng!?" Hearing these three words. Luo Baochun's face suddenly showed a look of astonishment.
"Yes, Ma Rucheng, this person should be familiar to Brother Luo." As if he meant something, Lao Xu didn't say anything more after saying this, but just drank the tea in his hand.
On the other hand, Luo Baochun didn't know what kind of evil was possessed. His whole body was trembling faintly, and his hands on his knees were involuntarily clenched.
As the fingertips continued to exert more force, the fabric of Luo Baochun's trouser legs gradually tightened. Seeing that Luo Baochun had not answered for a long time, Lao Xu asked calmly: "Why, brother Luo doesn't know this person? Probably not. May I ask what the full name of the old horse at the gas station you told us before?"
As soon as Lao Xu said these words, it was like a thunderbolt hitting Luo Baochun, and his originally trembling body became more violent.
"Brother Luo? Brother Luo? Are you... okay?" Seeing Luo Baochun trembling, Lao Xu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Brother Luo, people will always do wrong things in this life, but the important thing is I want to be frank. I came to you today to get everyone out of the way, just because I hope I can have a frank talk with you. I won’t say more, do you know this thing? "
While talking, Lao Xu took out a small notebook from his pocket and placed it gently on the table, then pushed it towards Luo Baochun.
"What, what is this?" Looking at the notepad in front of him, Luo Baochun looked confused.
"I brought this back from the director's office of the police station today. Turn the last page and take a look."
Raising his hand to signal Luo Baochun to look through, Lao Xu continued drinking tea.
Following Lao Xu's instructions, Luo Baochun opened the last page of the notepad with trembling hands. After just one glance, his expression became complicated.
As time passed, the veins in Luo Baochun's palms holding the notepad were slightly exposed, and his rising and falling chest also made a wheezing sound.
"It's a coincidence. I originally wanted to bring this book back to see if there were any clues about rescue, but I didn't expect to see the same name as yours on it. Of course, I'm not sure this person is you, so I invited you here. Let’s confirm it in person. How about it? Brother Luo, is there anything you want to say to me?”
Luo Baochun was silent, staring at the book on the table in a daze. Lao Xu knew that he was having an inner struggle, so he was not in a hurry. He slowly added: "I was very curious at first about why you acted strangely when I heard that you went to the police station. If I am not wrong, your abdominal pain and diarrhea do not actually exist. , you just don’t want to go back to that place? Of course, if my inference is wrong, or the thing mentioned above is not you, I can apologize to you. But I hope you can give me a final answer."
For this reason, Lao Xu handed over the decision-making power to Luo Baochun.
Although Lao Xu really has no evidence to prove that the name in the record book is Luo Baochun, the latter's various actions yesterday and today's performance have revealed a lot. (To be continued.)
