Chapter 218
Xia Yanbo got up early to prepare for a morning run. As soon as he left the bedroom door, he saw Xia Yanqi waiting at the door. He took a look at his little daughter's dark circles that were as thick as a national treasure and asked casually: "Didn't you sleep last night?"
Xia Yanqi's affairs were not hidden from him, and could not be hidden from him. In this industry, people stay day and night, so it is normal to stay up at night. What is abnormal is that after staying up late, she did not go to catch up on her sleep, but instead waited for him here. Why?
See why it feels like a scam.
Xia Yanqi pushed Xia Yanbo to the door with both hands: "It's been a long time since I exercised with my dear dad, and today is just the right time."
Xia Yanbo followed her strong lead and walked out, smiling and teasing: "What do you want to do if you have nothing to do to show your courtesy?"
Xia Yanqi pushed him away happily. After the father and daughter finished their morning run in a harmonious atmosphere, and sat down at the dining table with the breakfast they had taken from a familiar snack bar, Xia Yanbo said leisurely: "I'll go there later.
It’s time to go to work, and if you don’t ask, you won’t have time anymore.”
Xia Yanqi laughed twice, peeled the eggs, put them in a bowl, pushed them in front of Xia Yanbo, and then asked: "Dad, do you know what kind of person your uncle is?"
"Geng Xu?" Xia Yanbo suppressed his smile and paused before asking, "Why did you suddenly ask about him?"
Xia Yanqi's eyes rolled around twice: "I just want to know what kind of person he is and why he deserves to be remembered by my little aunt for so many years."
He went through all kinds of hardships to send people to the bottomless abyss, and in the end even he himself was trapped in Cangwu Abyss without knowing whether to live or die.
"Why don't you ask your grandpa?" Xia Yanbo threw the chopsticks on the table casually, "But you asked the right person. Your grandpa is really not as familiar with him as I am."
At that time, China's economy was not very developed. The Xia family was just an ordinary family with an average family background. They had to support a family of six, send their children to school, and have food, clothing, housing and transportation. You can imagine the pressure. The Xia family was busy from morning to night.
At night, there is basically no time to rest. Before the New Year, in order to let the children have new clothes for the New Year, Mr. Xia even worked at night, either weaving bamboo cages, or fishing in the river.
, it was very hard, and most of the responsibility for taking care of the two little ones fell on Xia Yanbo and Geng Xuefei.
"Aren't you afraid that grandpa will be worried?" Xia Yanqi murmured in a low voice. The old man looked strong and healthy. How old was he already? He didn't know what Xia Yanyue's condition was now, whether she was dead or alive, so she rashly told him the matter.
If Xia Yanqi was not careful, he would have to kill himself to apologize.
Xia Yanbo leaned back in his chair and stared at Xia Yanqi with burning eyes: "Tell me first what impression you have of him."
Xia Yanqi thought for a while, except for the days when they walked together in the Abyss, she only had two encounters with him. One was when Geng Xu first appeared on the bridge, and the other was at Migefang.
, both times he showed great and extraordinary strength, but at that time this man was already a living dead, and he couldn’t tell if he had any ideas. He did hear a few things from Zhou Ziheng, Hu Ying and others, but most of them were nothing.
Good reviews, not to mention Xia Yanyue, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the 'Brother Xu' in her mouth is good everywhere.
Thinking of this, Xia Yanqi said: "I heard them say that my uncle is very powerful, but his methods are a bit ruthless." After all, he said he would destroy the Geng family without any discounts.
"Them?" Xia Yanbo asked, "Who are they?"
Xia Yanbo looks like a gentle and good-tempered person on the outside, but he actually smiles when he sees others and never makes things difficult for others. However, when a person who doesn't usually lose his temper gets angry, it is quite scary. Xia Yanqi heard this.
With a little warmth, she felt a sudden shock in her heart. She was either afraid that Xia Yanbo would lose his temper or that he would be angry.
She licked her lips unconsciously, thinking that the pressure on her father, who had no martial arts value, was greater than that on all kinds of otherworldly masters, monsters, and bosses. This was probably the so-called bloodline suppression.
No wonder she was always on tenterhooks for fear of making mistakes when facing Xia Yanyue and Xia Shiyuan.
Xia Yanbo did not wait for her answer: "He is a very persevering person, ruthless, stubborn, and will never give up until he achieves his goal. I have never seen anyone be so cruel to himself..."
After being adopted by the Xia family, Geng Xu continued to exercise even before his injuries healed. The wounds burst again before they scabbed over, leaving scars on top of scars, and the smell of blood never left his body.
He was taciturn and never made friends. Except for Geng Xuefei and the old couple of the Xia family, he would never even look at anyone else. Until Xia Yanyue was born, that delicate little dumpling fell into his eyes for some unknown reason.
His heart opened a small gap in his closed and cold world, allowing that little bit of sunshine to shine in.
"I knew what he was going to do when he first left Shan'ao Village when he was fifteen years old," Xia Yanbo said. "In those days, your mother was not thinking about sleeping and eating, and she wouldn't tell her if I asked her. But I know that that day
It will always come, Geng Xu is not a person who only knows how to escape, if you let him hide in Shan'ao Village for the rest of his life, he would rather die."
That time he was not far from death. He lay in bed for a long time before he could barely get up. Xia Yanbo waited in fear for the police uncle to come to the door, thinking over and over in his mind how to exonerate him, how to reduce the crime, what to do.
It's all a capital crime and there's no escaping it - if you kill a whole family, you have to cut it into pieces no matter what in ancient times, right?
After just a few months of being on tenterhooks, Geng Xu still looked like he was having a peaceful time. Xia Yanbo couldn't help but secretly discuss with him: How about surrendering? We are law-abiding citizens. I'll ask the lawyer if we can get a reprieve from death.
Don't worry, I'll make some improvements inside and try to get leniency...
Before Xia Yanbo could finish his earnest words, he was blocked by Geng Xu: What did you say? I don't understand. I'm just helping the Special Affairs Office to do something. Don't worry, it doesn't matter. It won't happen next time.
When Xia Yanbo saw that his expression was dull, Geng Xuefei also returned to his usual demeanor, and he observed in secret for a long time. He didn't find out that anything particularly serious had happened, and his heart slowly returned to its original position.
"Although he looks cold and indifferent, he is very affectionate. He suffered a lot for Xuefei - those people are not vegetarians. Even if one person stabbed him with a knife, they could make a hole in him, but he didn't
People can know where your mother is. Although the final result is unavoidable, she has still lived peacefully for so many years."
Xia Yanqi was a little strange. She had rarely heard Xia Yanbo mention Geng Xu before, and thought the relationship between the two was not good, but now it seems that the relationship between the two is not bad.
Xia Yanbo looked at his watch, swallowed the breakfast in front of him in several mouthfuls, wiped his mouth and stood up to leave, leaving Xia Yanqi alone at the dining table to think.
