Chapter 210 8-Year-Old Boy (1)
After entering the Pei family’s gate, I didn’t stay for too long, only half a day.
Lu Qi met Mr. Pei.
Mr. Pei was shocked by Lu Qi's return, and even more shocked was that she actually brought back a little girl who was just a hundred days old, and there were three nannies taking care of her.
Looking at her eyebrows and eyes, they are definitely carved out of the same mold as Pei Yao. People say that the daughter looks like her father.
When Zixi was just born, Lu Qi was quite unconvinced and planned to come back to this man to have another son who must look like her.
Unexpectedly, after calling for several days in a row, Pei Mingzhu brought her this news when she answered the phone.
She didn't shed a single tear along the way. She was steady, quiet, and unbelieving.
Seeing Mr. Pei doing the same at this time, he answered all of Mr. Pei's questions word by word.
"How did you get out?" After asking Pei Yao about what happened on their wedding night, Mr. Pei understood that he had lost both Ms. Ji and his only granddaughter-in-law at the same time.
It is impossible for Lu Qi to come back. The door only opens once every three hundred years, and it has only been more than a year.
Lu Qi said calmly: "I didn't go back."
To be precise, she went back, but she came out a minute before the door disappeared.
This was thanks to Pei Mingzhu, whose words to her at the time had made her cautious. Once Pei Yao knew that she would sacrifice three hundred years to accompany him, he would definitely be reluctant to do so.
He would send her back.
So when Pei Yao coaxed and lied to her, and even gave her sleeping pills and sent her back, she was also lying. She had already replaced the wine and adjusted all his time with Yan Yang.
Including Xiao Li's time, they all mistakenly thought it was five minutes early.
Pei Yao actually left at 11:50, and as soon as he left, Lu Qi ran away via another longer route.
She was a genius at escaping and could always escape from Pei Yao's sight. Pei Yao forgot this point. Her experience in escaping was as rich as his experience in finding people.
However, she left Qingqiu on time, and she was cursed by the backlash. Her memory became confused again, and she couldn't remember Pei Yao for a while.
Of course, she was also angry, angry that he had lied to her again and sent her away without asking her opinion.
It was not until two months later that she discovered she was pregnant. Her memory was unclear, so she ran back to San Francisco to take care of the baby. It was not until Zixi was born that her memory gradually improved.
But who would have thought.
Pei Yao was a man who did not seek pleasure in his lifetime and would not betray his wife after his death. His deep affection was only for Lu Qi. As soon as Lu Qi left, he took the initiative to volunteer to die on the battlefield.
Who the hell allowed him to do this!
I told Mr. Pei about how I got here, and then he asked, "Are you sure you want to go?"
"Because the situation is special now and it's in the final stages, it's not appropriate for me to come forward, and I can't send anyone from my family to take care of your safety."
Lu Qi nodded, indicating that he understood: "I want to go there, to see the person alive or dead... no matter what, I will bring him back."
He had informed the Pei family in advance and asked them to find a way to let her go to the battlefield to find him.
Although the war is over, the subsequent work is somewhat dangerous.
But she is not afraid of danger, having experienced too much with him.
Old Master Pei couldn't stop her, and he couldn't stop her even if he wanted to. Which girl in Qingqiu isn't stubborn? If you don't let her go, she'll go there secretly anyway. It's better to use some special method to send her there.
After bidding farewell to Mr. Pei, Lu Qi pushed open the door, paused before leaving, and lowered his voice: "Grandpa...Ms. Ji, I won't be back."
Mr. Pei sat back in his chair, lowered his head to look at the document, and said lightly: "I know."
After closing the door, Lu Qi never saw Mr. Pei raise his head again from beginning to end.
The regrets of the previous generation eventually became regrets.
Lu Qi turned around and went out, and met Pei Mingzhu. The little girl's eyes had been red for several days. She wanted to go with Lu Qi, but after all, she had her special mission and identity.
So Lu Qi just patted her shoulder and said, "Please take good care of Zixi for me."
In fact, needless to say, everyone would do their best to serve the bloodline of the only great-grandson of the Pei family.
Lu Qi could go with peace of mind.
Under special arrangements by Mr. Pei, Lu Qi boarded a military plane at one o'clock in the morning, was given an identity, and volunteered to organize a reporter for the People's Daily.
On the plane, Lu Qi read again all the details that Jin Feng had compiled about Pei Yao from being shot to his disappearance on that day.
The more he looked at it, the colder his heart felt. Under such circumstances, it would have been difficult for him to escape. No wonder everyone thought he was dead.
Including Mr. Pei, he actually already believed it in his heart. Letting Lu Qi go to the battlefield to find his remains was just to ease everyone's mind.
Lu Qi collected the information, put it aside, and looked out the window. It was pitch black tonight.
Suddenly, she remembered a scene ten years ago, when she and Pei Yao actually jumped off the plane.
-
Ten years ago, after his first encounter with Pei Yao at the Naval Club, facing the morning glow and watching the sunrise, Pei Yao's boat took Lu Qi to an island.
The island is very small and is surrounded by ten small islands.
Intelligence reports indicate that this area is full of pirates and is called the "Pirate Islands" by the locals.
After mooring the boat at the shore, Pei Yao looked around the harbor and jokingly asked Lu Qi, "Miss, are you a professor or a pirate?"
Lu Qi jumped off the boat and leaned against the dock railing with a charming smile: "Major, it's a bit late to consider this issue now. You were already involved in this corruption with me last night."
"It's really too late."
Pei Yao smiled and looked at a few people dressed as natives but holding hunting rifles coming towards him from a distance on the island, then started the boat and slipped away.
Before slipping away, he left a message for Lu Qi: "We had a pleasant cooperation last night. I pray that you will not be caught by me next time I come to suppress pirates."
This really treats her as a pirate.
Lu Qi shrugged, turned around and waved at the people running towards him: "Don't move, why are you shooting when they've already run away?"
Several natives put away their guns, walked up to Lu Qi, and asked a few questions with concern.
"Professor Salia, are you okay?"
"Did you get the vibranium conductor?"
"Who is that man?"
Lu Qi was asked so many questions that he chose his answers selectively. Finally, he talked about Pei Yao: "There's a handsome soldier from the Chinese army stationed at the sea nearby. He said he would come and wipe us out next time."
One of the natives snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "We are not pirates, what law have we broken?"
Lu Qi patted his shoulder and walked back to the island: "I'm just kidding."
Indeed, Lu Qi is not a pirate. Although the island she is on is located in the Pirate Archipelago, hers is the only normal island, which she uses for mining.
After discovering vibranium, Lu Qi bought this island. It is the only island with vibranium sources.
With vibranium, she can not only make a fortune and do more scientific research, but more importantly, she can improve her Yan Yang.
But after buying the island, Lu Qi discovered that the indigenous people on the island were pitifully poor, but kind-hearted, simple and sincere.
On a whim, Lu Qi developed the island himself, built a school, and taught the locals to read from time to time.
She also hired people on the island to help her mine and develop the island's economy.
Rather than saying that she is a pirate, it would be better to say that she is the owner of this island with less than 10,000 people.
