He saw his little granddaughter looking at him with big eyes.
Mu Lao smiled: "You don't have to look at me like this. Just do as I say and don't think about looking for Li Chu anymore."
"Grandpa, why? If he publishes this method, he will save tens of millions of patients suffering from that disease. If he is worried about harming his own interests, he can apply for patent protection for the formula of the medicine."
"Well, you're right." The old man smiled and nodded.
"Go to your class well from now on, and don't think too much about things that shouldn't be your concern."
"Uh..." Mu Yao didn't expect that she had said so much, and in exchange for this, she stomped her feet angrily and walked back to her room.
"Dad, will Yaoyao run to find Li Chu by herself?"
"This is your daughter, you have to decide what to do. But as far as I know, Li Chu is very angry at this time. There was a guy who didn't know the heights and heights of the world before, and he is currently staying in the second game.
Your daughter has just returned from studying abroad, so don’t let others take her identity into account. Sometimes I’m not that easy to do when I’m old.”
Mu Lao glanced at his eldest son, then stood up with his hands on the armrests of the sofa.
Upon seeing this, the special guard quickly came up and held his arm.
"Xiao Zhao, help me walk around the yard."
"yes"
The old man's words stunned Mu Hongjun for a while.
When his daughter was qualified to study abroad on a government-sponsored basis, the old man had clearly opposed it.
But because of his daughter's persistence, he finally agreed.
Because of this, he knew very well that although the old man seemed okay on the surface and Yaoyao was still talking and laughing as before when she came back from studying abroad, in fact the old man no longer liked this little granddaughter in his heart.
As for the fact that Li Chu was angry, he didn't know. Not to mention that he had retired. Even if he was still working, he would not be exposed to things at that level.
He knew the meaning of the last two sentences of the old man very well, which was to let him take good care of his daughter. If something happened, no one would be able to help her.
Alas, he must persuade his daughter again and give up this idea. No matter what he says this time, he cannot let her go as she pleases.
…
After dinner in the afternoon, Li Chu and Ding Qiunan took their dogs out for a walk.
Since they were the only two people at home and nothing happened, they walked far away. By the time they walked back, it was almost nine o'clock.
Along the road, as soon as we reached the alley entrance on the east side, several dogs suddenly became restless.
"Woof woof woof"
The two people who were talking quickly tightened the chains in their hands and looked into the alley.
"Brother, keep your dog tight and don't bite anyone."
Under the dim yellow streetlight, two men in their twenties and thirties, each holding a travel bag in their hands, walked out of the alley, one of them said.
Both of them wore peaked caps on their heads. They didn't stop after they walked out, but walked quickly north.
"Woof woof woof"
Several dogs still kept barking at the two people.
"Stop shouting!"
Li Chu said something, then turned his head and glanced at the two people, his brows knitted together tightly.
Since the peaked caps of both people were lowered, and it was dark, it was impossible to see clearly what Zhang looked like.
However, judging from the dog's reaction, it seems that they are not people in the alley, otherwise they would not bark like this.
"What's wrong, Li Chu?" Ding Qiunan asked after seeing his man staring at the backs of the two people.
"Those two people are not from our area, and after they walked past just now, I thought the smell on their bodies was quite strange."
"Ah? What's the smell? Is it the smell of not taking a shower for a long time?" Ding Qiunan didn't think much and made a joke.
Li Chu shook his head: "I can't tell what the smell is, but it's weird anyway. Forget it, go home."
Although the people who lived in this area were familiar to everyone even if they didn't know each other, strangers would walk in occasionally, so he didn't think much about it.
After entering the alley, they just reached the first entrance. Originally, they were supposed to continue walking west, but a few dogs didn't know what was going on and insisted on turning around and heading north.
This turn of events stunned both Li Chu and Ding Qiunan. Their dogs had never had such a problem for so many years.
Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "Follow them, loosen the chain, and see what they want to do."
We followed the fork in the road to the north for two small intersections, and then the dogs turned west again. They stopped just after passing two small intersections.
"Hey, why did you bring him here?" Ding Qiunan looked back and forth and said a little strangely.
"You know him?"
"I don't know him, but Lou Xiao'e knows him. To be precise, it's her father who knows her. This family is her father's friend. By the way, you should have seen it. His family also donated money back then. This courtyard is similar to the one where my sister lives.
It’s a private courtyard.”
Li Chu took out the flashlight from his pocket and turned it on and looked around.
This alley is a dead end. The house Ding Qiunan just mentioned is already the innermost one, and there should be a big courtyard next door.
However, I don't know if the two families outside have already taken a break, or if there is no one at home, they look dark.
The third house, Lou’s father’s friend’s house, still had lights in the yard.
After thinking for a while, Li Chu stepped forward.
"What are you doing?" Ding Qiunan asked quickly when he saw him raising his hand to knock on the door.
"There must be something wrong when a few dogs stop here. Let me take a look."
"Dong dong dong"
After saying that, he knocked on the door several times.
Not seeing any movement in the yard, he knocked on the door a few more times, but there still seemed to be no one.
"Is it because someone is not at home?" Ding Qiunan said.
"The lights in the yard are on." Li Chu leaned on the crack of the door and wanted to look inside, but there was a screen wall inside the door, and he could see nothing except a trace of light.
"Um?"
Just when he remembered it, he sniffed hard twice, then raised his head sharply and took two steps back.
"What's wrong, Li Chu?"
"Something happened, I smelled a faint smell of blood."
"What?" Ding Qiunan looked at his man with wide eyes.
"When I leaned against the crack of the door and looked inside, I smelled blood. It should be human. Let's go and call the police."
After saying that, he held several dogs in one hand and his wife's hand in the other and walked out.
"You...could you have smelled it wrong?"
"I can smell anything wrong, except the smell of blood. You should have seen the abnormality of the dog just now."
At this point he came to his senses.
"It should be those two people just now. Why are the dogs reacting so strangely?"
"You mean those two people just took the people in the yard..."
"I can only say that it is possible. No one knows what is going on inside unless you go in."
