Chapter 945: Chapter 937: It’s That Person
Especially those eyes, it’s as if they were carved from the sa mold, exactly the sa, both emitting a chilling light that made people never dare to look at him more than once.
Liu Rui originally thought this person was inexplicable, almost like a madman, since he didn’t know him. But when he heard Deng Fuguo muttering sothing about his father, he suddenly realized that this person was the one who had arrested his father and put him in prison back in the day. Liu Rui had never seen him in person.
Liu Rui learned about Deng Fuguo from the news he later watched, and he burned this man’s image into his mind, fantasizing every day about finding Deng Fuguo. What to do once he finds him, Liu Rui didn’t know, but back then he just felt he should do sothing for his father.
After his father got into trouble, Liu Rui searched everywhere for news about his father, in newspapers, on the news, but found nothing in the end. The only sowhat valuable thing was seeing Deng Fuguo’s photo in the news. All these things, he did quietly in private, even his grandfather didn’t notice what Liu Rui was doing.
After so many years, Deng Fuguo unexpectedly appeared before Liu Rui in such a manner, what should he do now, grab Deng Fuguo and beat him up? He almost did it; he slowly clenched his fist, but in the second before swinging, he changed his mind.
Or should he pretend he didn’t understand anything and leave? But he couldn’t just walk away; he had been waiting for this day for so long that he couldn’t just let this opportunity pass.
So he cald down, adjusted his emotions, and said as calmly as possible, “That’s right, I am his son.”
Deng Fuguo heard Liu Rui speak and ca back from his own mories, he almost connected the Liu Rui in front of him with Liu Rui’s father from over a decade ago.
Looking at Liu Rui’s defiant expression, Deng Fuguo, having seen so many people, couldn’t decipher what was going on in the heart of the person in front of him. Only then did he realize that he had said sothing wrong, that such matters shouldn’t be spoken of in such an occasion.
Then followed a brief silence, neither of them spoke. Deng Fuguo thought for a mont, unsure of what to say, and just turned around and left.
It was only after walking out of the hospital that Deng Fuguo silently blad himself for being so out of character.
It was just seeing the son of the criminal from his first case, how could he be so out of character as to walk up and speak to him, this was too uncharacteristic of his identity.
He recalled more than a decade ago, seeing Liu Rui once, it was during his surveillance of Liu Rui’s father’s whereabouts when he saw him buying toys for Liu Rui. Liu Rui happily hugged him, and that child, who knew nothing, had grown up so quickly, truly ti waits for no one, just like that, over a decade had passed.
He still rembered Liu Rui’s father’s case was the first one he handled, at that ti his father was still a revered general, he naturally revered his own father too, yet he never showed this feeling in front of others, his only thought was to one day surpass his father, he just couldn’t stand that even at ho, his father would always suppress him with his status.
Yet in a blink, his father had beco a patient lying on a hospital bed, perhaps soon he wouldn’t see his father again, ti, what does it take away and what does it leave behind? In this world, the cruellest thing is nothing but ti.
After Deng Fuguo left, Liu Rui imdiately returned to the ward, where his grandfather was sleeping. At this mont it wasn’t ideal to wake his grandfather, no matter how important the matter, his grandfather should have a good rest, but now what he had to do was sothing extrely urgent.
So he anxiously paced back and forth in the ward, although he didn’t make much noise, his grandfather Hu Jingtang still woke up. Seeing Liu Rui looking very worried, he hadn’t seen Liu Rui like this for so long, so anxious, Liu Rui always seed indifferent to everything.
“Ruirui, what’s wrong, what happened? Look how worried you are,” Hu Jingtang asked.
“Grandfather, do you rember who it was that arrested my father and put him in prison eleven years ago? I t that person in the hospital today.” Liu Rui, unlike his usual indifferent deanor, said anxiously.
“Seed like soone with the last na Deng, it’s been so many years, I don’t rember well, how did you et him in the hospital?” Hu Jingtang thought for a mont before speaking. To be honest, it’s been so many years since that incident, Hu Jingtang didn’t rember the details well either, but he hadn’t expected Liu Rui, who was rely a child of about ten years old back then, would still rember what happened previously.
Liu Rui’s intelligence was evident from an early age, Hu Jingtang recalled once taking him out and sotis having trouble finding the way back in newly built areas, only finding the correct route after searching for a while. But Liu Rui didn’t speak much back then, he still rembered every path he took. Later, when organizing Liu Rui’s desk, Hu Jingtang found a map of the city drawn by Liu Rui, it seed like it was drawn by himself.
Without consulting other maps or so, it must have been drawn from mory. At that ti Hu Jingtang marveled that Liu Rui was an extraordinary child, so from then on he didn’t supervise Liu Rui much.
Today Liu Rui surprised him even more, things from over ten years ago, he, an adult, had almost forgotten, yet a child rembered clearly.
Hu Jingtang thought, perhaps I’ve really underestimated Liu Rui, I always thought he was still a child back then and didn’t understand many things, so I never overly talked to him about his father’s matter. After his father was imprisoned, he just deceived Liu Rui by saying his father went to a far, far away place to earn money for buying toys for him.
Back then Liu Rui didn’t ask further after hearing these words, Hu Jingtang thought that the whole thing ended just like that, but things weren’t so simple.
So he asked Liu Rui, “Did you already know what happened when your father got into trouble?”
Liu Rui nodded, saying, “I knew a lot back then. Although none of you ever properly told about it.”
Hu Jingtang suddenly realized, the great change in Liu Rui probably began from that ti, not liking to talk, spending most of the day keeping himself locked in the room.
“Did you ever bla because I didn’t tell you the truth?” Hu Jingtang cautiously asked, at that mont he suddenly felt that he didn’t understand Liu Rui at all. Though Liu Rui was raised by him, the real conversations between them were fewer than those between Hu Jingtang and Lin Mu, and he had known Lin Mu for less than a year.
“I wouldn’t say bla, I just don’t know what kind of feeling that was.” Liu Rui said, recalling how awkward he was as a child, wanting to do sothing for his father, but as a child, he could do nothing, and the adults at ho, especially his grandfather, always treated him like a three-year-old, never told him the truth.
