The next morning, Lao Liu was making breakfast in the kitchen of the small building. He even hummed a tune rarely. A series of footsteps coming from near and far came from behind. He looked back and hurriedly walked out of the small building.
The figure on the back is none other than his son Liu Chaowen.
"Chaowen, I made breakfast for you. Go to work after eating!" Old Liu said.
Liu Chaowen was stunned for a moment, turned slightly and said:
"I'm very busy at work, I'll leave first."
This sentence was what Lao Liu had heard his son say the most in the past few years. He sighed and did not hold back because he knew it was useless. He was almost used to Liu Chaowen treating him like this, but yesterday
What happened that night and what his son said before going to bed confused him.
After breakfast, Lao Liu came to Liu Chaowen's room. Although Liu Chaowen only stayed here for one night in these years, Lao Liu tidied the room every day. When folding the quilt, he found that there was something between the bed and the bed.
There is a crumpled paper ball between the cracks in the wall.
He took the paper ball and unfolded it and found that it was not just a piece of paper. It was a stack of six or seven pieces. He couldn't understand the contents of the paper. But the header said "Experimental Data of High Energy Particle Research Center", and he
The papers were flattened and folded, and then they hurried to the office building.
Lao Liu was sweating profusely when he arrived on the floor where the chief engineer's office was located, and was stopped by Liu Chaowen's assistant.
"Uncle Liu, General Manager Liu has to verify the experimental data today and is very busy. He has already said hello to us. Don't disturb him if there is nothing to do at work." The assistant had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of embarrassment and confusion.
Awkward.
With a simple smile on his face, Old Liu took out the neatly folded stack of information from his coat pocket:
"Chaowen left something at home, I'll bring it to him."
The smile on the assistant's face became very forced and he said nothing for a while. Old Liu handed over the folded information:
"I can't understand this information. If you need it, it will be troublesome. How about I give this information to you and you can help me transfer it to Chaowen?"
"Uncle Liu, I don't dare to hand this thing in for you. You know Mr. Liu's character..." The assistant paused for a moment and then said:
"How about, Uncle Liu, please go back first. If it is the information that Mr. Liu needs, he will definitely come to you to get it. If he does not come to you, it must be unimportant information. Our center destroys a lot of waste paper every day
"Yes." The assistant's eyes were avoiding Lao Liu.
Old Liu more or less guessed that the order his assistant received was probably to prevent him from seeing him. Old Liu pinched the information in his hand and finally said with a smile:
"Well, I'll wait for him outside. If it's the information he needs urgently, he can get it right away. If he doesn't want it, I'll go back after a while."
The assistant nodded:
"Uncle Liu, then I'll get busy first."
After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs. When the assistant went downstairs, he let out a long sigh. It was not an anxious and impatient sigh, but a lament.
Lao Liu just stood by the window at the end of the corridor and waited until there were only a few cigarettes left in the cigarette box. The door of the chief engineer's office finally opened. Lao Liu could only see his son's silhouette in the corridor.
"Father, I am very busy with work and have no time to take care of you. Please go back to the small building and don't leave the base casually if you have nothing to do."
Just as Lao Liu took out the information from his pocket, Liu Chaowen's silhouette had disappeared in the corridor, and then there was the sound of the office door closing. He stood there for a while, then put the information back into his jacket pocket, feeling lonely.
left.
On the way back to the small building, he had mixed feelings in his heart. His son's condition made him extremely worried, especially after last night. He no longer believed that his son's current condition was entirely due to work pressure, but he even more couldn't believe that his son had...
There are other reasons why you treat yourself this way.
He fingered the information in his hand, and as his thoughts turned over and over again, he suddenly thought of Zhou Cheng. He took out his phone but found that it had no signal, which was not surprising in the base. At this time, he had already walked downstairs.
After thinking again and again, he drove the old car out of the base.
The car left the scope of the rainstorm circle, and Lao Liu was about to take out his phone. Suddenly he found a strange car in front of him, which was very rare on this road. While he was wondering, the rear windshield of the car was suddenly covered by
The person held down two pieces of paper with his hands from the inside. On the paper was written:
"Someone is following you to the place where you usually receive supplies - Cao Rui!"
Old Liu was startled and glanced at the rearview mirror. Sure enough, there was a car in the distance behind him. When he looked back at the front, the car had already accelerated far away.
Although he knew Cao Rui, he didn't understand why there was a car following him. Who would do this? But after trying to accelerate and decelerate, he found that the car behind him was always far away from the boundary of his sight. In the end, he
He turned to where Cao Rui wanted him to go.
When he arrived at the material distribution station usually arranged in a supermarket, Cao Rui was already waiting for him in front of a stall.
"Who is following me?" Lao Liu asked anxiously.
Cao Rui glanced at Zhang Jie who was showing off at the door, and said quickly:
"It's probably your son Liu Chaowen."
Old Liu was startled:
"Why would he do this?"
Cao Rui stared at the door and said quickly:
"Maybe you know something that he thinks no one else should know, so he wants you to stay at the base."
Lao Liu looked at Cao Rui with complicated eyes and expressed his concerns that he did not want to face:
"Chaowen has indeed changed a lot over the years, but I always thought it was due to work pressure. After returning from space, he also asked me to go to the cafeteria to eat with him, but I always felt that it was because he wanted to do something.
Show it to others.
He suddenly came to the small building last night, and he still smelled of alcohol. Chaowen is a person who gets drunk after a glass of wine. In the corridor, he kept telling me, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine, I'm very busy at work."
Similar words, but the tone was not drunk at all. It was like an announcer reading a press release."
"What happened next?" Cao Rui asked, as a car stopped at the door of the material distribution station.
"After entering the house, he fell on the bed and fell asleep. Before going to sleep, he said to me, 'Dad! Don't leave me alone!' The voice of the words was very low, but I could hear it clearly.
Chu. I recognize that voice, including the look in his eyes when he spoke, that is my Chaowen." When he said this, Lao Liu's emotions aroused some waves.
The people who got off the car walked to the door of the material distribution station. Zhang Jie, who was watching, pretended to accidentally kick over a box containing tomatoes. The tomatoes rolled to the ground and covered the ground at the entrance. The two people bent down to help pick them up.
tomatoes, but his eyes were scanning inside.
Cao Rui pulled Lao Liu behind a shelf that could not be seen from the door.
"The situation you mentioned makes me and Lao Zhou even more convinced that there must be something wrong with Chaowen, but we don't know where the problem is yet, but I believe we will find it soon!"
"You won't do anything to Chaowen, will you?" Lao Liu asked anxiously.
Cao Rui smiled, looked at the reflector in the corner, and said:
"Don't worry! You also know Liu Chaowen's current status. Even if we want to formally investigate him, we can't do it. But there must be a shocking secret behind him, and we won't hurt him. We just want to know what's behind him
Who is it and what do you want to do? This is to protect everyone!"
The tomatoes at the door were almost finished, and Old Liu took out the stack of information from his pocket:
"This was left on the bed by Chaowen last night, and I couldn't understand it. I wanted to give it back to him, but he probably didn't know, or had forgotten the information, so he sent me away in a hurry.
I know that the information in the base is confidential and cannot be obtained by outsiders. Show this to Professor Zhou and see if you can find any clues."
When Cao Rui reached out to receive the information, Lao Liu retracted his hand.
"No matter what problems you find with Chaowen, please promise me to let me stay with him, okay?" By the time he finished speaking, tears had fallen from Lao Liu's eyes.
Cao Rui nodded decisively, then took the information, stuffed a bag containing several vegetables into Lao Liu's hand, turned around and disappeared between the shelves.
