Lu Shan's young face, which had been chatting and laughing a minute ago, suddenly froze, and his chipmunk-like cheeks stopped chewing at the same time, as if being pinched by two invisible hands.
Although there was no air conditioning or fan equipment in the store, he inexplicably felt that the temperature around him seemed to have suddenly dropped a few degrees.
He slowly spit the food in his mouth back onto the plate, his face filled with disbelief.
Although Dong Qiangqiang had vaccinated him in advance, the news still shocked him. He always thought that Lu Wei was still serving his sentence. He planned to work part-time for two weeks to buy some good things and visit him in prison. Unexpectedly, Lu Wei was released from prison early. He was surprised and happy for a while. He didn't know what to say. It took him half a minute to realize what he was doing and stuttered. Said: "Brother Qiang, you...are you kidding? My sister...has really come out?"
Dong Qiangqiang nodded solemnly.
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's affirmative reply, Lu Shan felt his mind was in a mess. He stood up with his hands on the table and asked loudly: "Then my sister... where is she now?"
A person eating next to him looked at Dong Qiangqiang's table at the same time, his eyes were very unfriendly.
Lu Shan's question was what Dong Qiangqiang expected. He made a downward movement with his hand in the air, gesturing for Lu Shan to sit down and talk.
Lu Shan's face turned red and he sat down reluctantly.
"I'm sorry, I don't know where your sister is now." Dong Qiangqiang wanted to go around in circles, but after searching, he found that there was no circle to go around, so he had to get straight to the point.
Lu Shan originally thought he would get a positive answer, but he didn't know that the answer was indeed positive, but it was useless. He was dumbfounded: "You... don't know?"
Dong Qiangqiang shook his head.
"Then why did you say she..." Lu Shan looked litigious.
"Because I met her and talked to her."
"I don't... don't understand. You saw her, but you don't know where she went?"
Dong Qiangqiang guessed that Lu Shan might not fully know the ins and outs of Lu Wei's imprisonment, so he thought of taking this opportunity to tell him everything. "Don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say."
Dong Qiangqiang started from the time Lu Wei was caught and imprisoned as a gunman, from her despair when she was imprisoned to her belief in religion in order to get rid of her inner demons, and then slowly regained her expectations for life through working, and then transitioned to Actively trying to reduce the sentence and reducing the sentence was successful. Finally, Dong Qiangqiang thought that she would be released from prison in September or even at the end of the year, but he did not expect to meet her on a rainy day, and then the other party completely lost contact with him.
His narrative was gentle and gentle, neither exaggerating nor evasive. He skipped any unclear points and only told the facts he had seen with his own eyes. The rumors about Lu Wei that had been spread throughout the city were not within the scope of his statement. .
Lu Shan listened very attentively. Although his expression was solemn, he did not interrupt him. He didn't answer until he finished speaking: "You didn't tell me this when you picked up the station because you were afraid that I would be distracted, right? Thank you, Brother Qiang. But if I had known then, I would have definitely tried to find her."
Although Lu Shan didn't complain directly, Dong Qiangqiang could still smell a hint of displeasure in the other party's words, but he didn't mind. After all, Lu Wei was Lu Shan's sister, and the feelings of blood were thicker than water. Now people Disappearing out of thin air, it is understandable that Lu Shan was so emotional and had a look on his face.
"I really didn't hide it from you on purpose..." Although Dong Qiangqiang felt that he had done nothing wrong, he still added another sentence.
"Then my sister won't..." Lu Shan frowned.
Although Lu Shan kept half of his words, Dong Qiangqiang still understood his subtext and immediately denied: "I think your sister should be safe now."
"But...why are you so sure?" Lu Shan's brows were tightly welded together, "You neither called the police nor asked the embassy for help..."
"The situation this time is different from last time." Dong Qiangqiang explained, "Your sister is an adult. She came out without telling anyone. I think she is not ready yet, so she doesn't want to meet people, especially those former classmates. You My sister has a strong self-esteem and it will take time for her to come out."
Dong Qiangqiang's words had a sense of authority that could not be questioned. Lu Shan seemed to be persuaded by him, and after a few seconds he murmured: "Brother Qiang, I want to go to the police station later and ask the police to help find..."
"Of course." Dong Qiangqiang knew that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, so he couldn't help but remind him, "But the German police are not very efficient, so you'd better be prepared."
Dong Qiangqiang's words instantly reminded Lu Shan of the experience of his parents looking for Lu Wei in Germany last year. In the end, it was only because of the intervention of the Chinese consulate that they finally found the person. Their previous efforts to call the police across the country were like a mud cow in the sea, and there was no news.
"But now I am a German taxpayer. Don't the German police claim to be the public servants of taxpayers?" Lu Shan widened his eyes and asked, "No matter how inefficient they are, they can't pretend not to know when I call the police, right? Brother Qiang, let’s go to the police station now, okay?”
Seeing Lu Shan's anxious look that couldn't wait any longer, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but sigh: After all, blood is thicker than water. The relationship between these two siblings is really good.
"Okay, I will accompany you now..."
Dong Qiangqiang took two bites of rice in a hurry, put the things on the table casually into his schoolbag, and was about to stand up when his eyes accidentally fell on the knives and forks overlapped on the dinner plate, and his whole body seemed to be froze as if by some kind of magic. , staring blankly at the dinner plate in a daze.
"Brother Qiang..." Lu Shan doubtfully waved his hand in front of Dong Qiangqiang, "Are you okay?"
Dong Qiangqiang slapped the table with gleaming eyes. This move startled Lu Shan.
"Maybe there is a place..." Dong Qiangqiang suddenly turned his attention to Lu Shan again.
"Do you know where my sister is?" Lu Shan's volume suddenly rose a few decibels, which immediately attracted disgusted scolding from the diner next to him. He quickly lowered his volume, "Where is my sister?"
Before Dong Qiangqiang had time to answer, the cell phone on the table rang at an inappropriate time, but it was Wang Shunan.
"Are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner...oh, and everyone."
Dong Qiangqiang felt strange. It was such a special day today, why would the other party suddenly invite him to dinner? Could it be that……
"Did you get the admission letter?"
"Yes, I just received it."
"Where's the university?"
"University of Kiel, North Germany."
"I know that place, it's a famous school." Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but take a breath, "It has produced several Nobel Prize and Leibniz Prize winners, and the medical school is also very famous. You are really strong. !" Dong Qiangqiang praised.
"Yeah, even I can't believe it myself. I received a lot of rejection letters before, and I thought this one was also a rejection letter, but I didn't know... It's been a few hours, and I finally calmed down and came to You call, hehe... haha..." Wang Shunan laughed incoherently, "I thought I would work as a nurse in the Green Castle for the rest of my life and then return home in despair, but I didn't expect... Anyway, I... take Now that we're here...the person we should thank the most is you..."
Wang Shunan was still talking to himself on the other end of the phone, but Dong Qiangqiang suddenly felt an indescribable sadness in his heart. He was not only excited that the other party had received the notice and was about to enter university, but also felt that he had devoted a year of hard work to himself. Time is running out and full of failure.
"Congratulations! You deserve this!" Dong Qiangqiang sent sincere blessings to his friends while cleaning up his broken mood, while hiding his sadness and loss, "I should treat you tonight."
"Don't fight with me today," Wang Shunan said brightly, "If you want to invite everyone together, that's fine with me. You can decide the time, place, and who you want to call. I'm not very smart in this regard. You decide." Just tell me and I'll go there early to get a good seat for everyone..."
Dong Qiangqiang's expression was not very good when he answered the phone. Lu Shan sat opposite him and stared at him nervously. It wasn't until he heard him saying that he wanted to invite someone to dinner that he realized that what he said on the phone was a good thing, and he was secretly relieved. Take a breath.
Dong Qiangqiang put away the phone, turned around and asked, "Where did you talk about just now?"
"You said you knew where my sister was." Lu Shan sat across from Dong Qiangqiang and sat next to him.
"No, I don't know where she is." Dong Qiangqiang corrected, "I just thought about where I might find her."
Lu Shan was confused by what he said and looked into his eyes blankly: "Where?"
There were many large windows on the street side of the restaurant. Dong Qiangqiang walked from one window to another, casting his eyes out the window, as if he was looking for something.
Seeing his strange behavior, Lu Shan felt puzzled: "Brother Qiang, what are you looking for?"
Dong Qiangqiang finally stopped walking, pointed to the outside of one of the windows and said, "It's right there."
