At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a fashionably dressed woman walked in with two children, a boy and a girl.
"Old Zhao, we are back."
The woman put her bag in the closet next to the entrance and said to Zhao Benzheng.
This woman must be Zhao Benzheng's wife. She was already used to having guests at home. She nodded to us and walked into the kitchen to cook.
"Dad, we are back!"
At the same time, the two children also threw their schoolbags into the bedroom, ran over and threw themselves into Zhao Bencheng's arms.
Zhao Benzheng's face was full of doting, and he kissed the two children again and again, and then introduced us: "Mr. Cheng, Miss Lang, these are my twin twins."
"Xiao Man, Xiao Kai, say hello to uncle and aunt."
The two children then raised their heads and greeted Lonnie and me obediently.
"Hello uncle, hello auntie."
These two children were born exactly the same, and they also had a red mole on the left side of their foreheads. They even had the same way of greeting us.
"Hello you all."
I also smiled and waved to the two children, but at the same time I felt a little strange in my heart.
Although these two children seem to be well-behaved and sensible, I don’t know why, but from their eyes, I don’t feel the clarity and innocence that is unique to children of this age.
On the contrary, I even felt that when they looked at me and Lonnie, there was a hint of hostility in their eyes!
"Xiao Man and Xiao Kai, go and do your homework. Dad has to talk to my uncle and aunt about something."
Zhao Benzheng did not notice this. He patted the two children's foreheads and urged them to do their homework.
"Dad, didn't you promise to let us spend your birthday with you after school? You don't keep your word!"
But the boy pushed Zhao Benzheng's hand away and said with dissatisfaction.
"That's right, Dad, I want to eat birthday cake, and I want to eat it now!"
The girl also started crying and stood motionless on the ground.
"Oh, you two kids are really in trouble..."
"No, no, we're going to eat cake and make birthday wishes now!"
Under the insistence of the two children, Zhao Benzheng could only look at Lonnie and me helplessly, looking embarrassed.
"Mr. Cheng, Miss Lang, I'm really sorry. The children are spoiled by their mother. How about I accompany them to cut the cake first, and then you can wander around as you please?"
I waved my hand indifferently: "It doesn't matter, the leader can go and accompany the children first, don't worry about us."
Zhao Benzheng then smiled apologetically, then led the two children to the center of the living room and opened the cake box placed on the revolving dining room table.
Amid the children's laughter, Zhao Benzheng's wife also came over and put a birthday hat on Zhao Benzheng. The two children said blessings in turn.
It seemed that this was a warm and harmonious family of three. There was nothing special about them, and I didn’t pay attention. I just asked Lonnie in a low voice if she had discovered anything.
Lonnie also shook her head: "It's strange, I didn't feel the presence of anything evil in his house, but the evil spirit in Zhao Benzheng did not come from him, so where did it come from?"
"Could it come from his wife?"
I glanced at Zhao Benzheng's wife and asked softly.
"No, his wife is normal, and it shouldn't be something wrong with her."
Lonnie said matter-of-factly.
In this case, the only possibility is Zhao Benzheng's children.
"Will that..."
I was about to exchange views with Lonnie, when out of the corner of my eye I looked over and saw Zhao Benzheng making a wish with his hands clasped together and his eyes closed.
The fruit knife used to cut the cake is placed on the corner of the revolving dining table, with the knife edge facing outward.
Suddenly, the little boy standing in front of the table grabbed the dining table with both hands, and with a strong force, the rotating table suddenly started to rotate rapidly, and the fruit knife stabbed straight towards Zhao Benzheng!
"careful!"
I immediately shouted and rushed over with my toes on the ground.
Whoosh!
Rushing to the dining table, I grabbed Zhao Benzheng by the collar and threw him to the ground.
At the same time, as the dining table rotated rapidly, the fruit knife had been inserted diagonally, flew straight past Zhao Benzheng's ear, and penetrated deeply into the wooden floor, making a clicking sound.
Looking at the fruit knife inserted into the floor, Zhao Benzheng realized what was going on. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he couldn't even speak.
"Old Zhao, are you okay?"
Zhao Benzheng's wife quickly ran over and helped him up, while the two children stood there numbly, looking at a loss.
"fine,"
Zhao Benzheng struggled to stand up from the ground, patted the dirt on his body, and bowed to me respectfully.
"Mr. Cheng, thank you so much, you saved my life!"
I smiled faintly and just glanced at the little boy with meaning.
"It's okay, but we need to educate our children well in the future. Such dangerous knives should not be touched casually."
Noticing Zhao Benzheng's gaze, the little boy burst into tears.
"Woo, dad, I just wanted to eat the cake quickly. I really didn't mean it..."
Zhao Benzheng forced out a smile and patted the little boy on the head.
"Xiao Kai, I don't blame you, but you must be careful in the future. If you are not careful, you will be killed. It's nothing if you hurt me, but if you are an outsider, I won't tolerate you. Remember Are you staying?"
"Dad, I remember."
The little boy lowered his head, looking aggrieved.
Seeing Zhao Benzheng's doting look on his face, I didn't know what to say. I was about to step back, but I accidentally noticed that the little boy's eyes were desperately looking towards me, full of resentment.
Looking at the little girl, she was also staring at me with an angry look on her face, as if she was blaming me for ruining their good deeds!
I was shocked, and based on my previous guess, I had already thought of something in my mind.
"Leader Zhao, there is a lot of trouble today, so we will go back first."
After winking at Lonnie, I handed over my hand and said goodbye to Zhao Benzheng.
Zhao Benzheng left the child in the living room and sent us out personally.
"You two, didn't you find anything?"
After walking outside the gate, Cao Rongcheng asked me.
"Leader Zhao, I want to ask something, and I hope you can answer it truthfully."
I looked at Zhao Bencheng with a serious expression.
"Mr. Cheng, whatever you want to know, I will definitely tell you!"
Because of my rescue just now, Zhao Benzheng now fully trusts me, so he patted his chest and said.
"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth,"
I said in a deep voice: "Just now your Xiaokai turned the dining table, causing the fruit knife to almost penetrate into your chest. Do you think he did it intentionally or unintentionally?"
