Chapter 18: Save the psychopathic killer (18)
Ren Zhu’s voice was cold and clear, but his words carried some warmth which directly ignited Ning Xun’s eyes. Ren Zhu very distinctly saw that it was like the entire body of the man opposite him was suddenly radiating light. Others who saw this would definitely know that something good had happened.
Ning Xun focused his eyes on him wanting to say or even do something. However, at that very moment, a dazed voice came from behind the two people: “Teacher Ren? Did I fall asleep?”
Ren Zhu quickly let go of Ning Xun’s hand and turned to look at Zhou Lai: “En. Since you woke up, then come with me. It just happens that Teacher Ning can send you home.”
Ning Xun, who was originally in a very bad mood due to the disturbance, was finally appeased by these words. Nodding and smiling, his expression was exceptionally affectionate as he looked at Zhou Lai: “Yes, it’s already past 11. I’ll send you two home.”
Perhaps Zhou Lai had not fully woken up yet, he subconsciously said: “We’re not riding the electric scooter? Are we just leaving it here then?”
.
Professor Ning snorted: “My car is big. Putting a small electric scooter in the trunk would be no problem at all.” So, you two should clearly know which is more powerful between an electric scooter and a luxury Benz right?
Zhou Lai didn’t say anything and Ren Zhu silently rolled his eyes: “Let’s go. People are already starting to clean things up.”
After saying this, Ren Zhu took Zhou Lai and left. Standing behind them, Ning Xun suddenly smiled. He clearly realised that Ren Zhu’s attitude towards him had become a lot more casual. Regarding someone like Ren Zhu, the words ‘casual’ and ‘close’ were already synonymous.
Ning Xun drove his Benz, sending Zhou Lai and Ren Zhu back home. He had very much wanted to stay over at Teacher Ren’s place that night, but he ultimately was mercilessly locked outside the door. At most…… he only got a French kiss. He felt his whole body tremble from the interaction between their lips and tongues. It was simply too wonderful.
However, his sweetheart seemed to be very shy. He must take it step by step.
That night, everything was very good. All the Grade 6 Class 8 parents and students believed that this beautiful atmosphere would surely last forever.
Lu Ban Ban was awakened by the fierce sound of a door being pounded. It was the fourth day of winter vacation. The night before yesterday, he joined in the class dinner. Yesterday, he went with his whole family to the amusement park. Every day, his life was very comfortable. Today was Monday, both his parents had gone to work. He took a glance at his bedside alarm clock, displaying that it was 9:30.
The sound of the fiercely pounding was still going on, and it seemed to be accompanied by some anxious shouts. Lu Ban Ban strongly shook his head, thinking that at this moment his grandparents should have gone out to buy groceries. He had no choice but to get dressed and quickly go downstairs.
When he walked to the living room on the first floor, he could already clearly hear the shouts coming from outside the door. That was the voice of their neighbour Uncle Zhang. Lu Ban Ban’s face suddenly paled.
“Ban Ban! Ban Ban! Are you home? Hurry up and open the door! Something big has happened to you family!”
Lu Ban Ban ran and opened the door, immediately seeing the tense Uncle Zhang: “Uncle Zhang! What happened? What happened?”
At this moment, Zhang Li Gang looked at Lu Ban Ban with some pity, but their was still more anxiety in his voice: “In a meeting today, your father was taken away by people from the Public Security Bureau! He has now already been locked up! Your mother was also taken into custody! Now, the only person who can take care of matters in your family is you. Quickly think of your uncles’ phone numbers. When your grandparents heard this news, they were so shocked that they had to go to hospital to be saved!”
Zhang Li Gang hurriedly said a lot of information, directly causing Lu Ban Ban to be stunned in place. He felt that he understood every word Uncle Zhang had said and could connect them together, but it seemed like he still couldn’t comprehend it. His father was arrested? His mother was also taken into custody? His grandparents were both in hospital? How could this be? Lu Ban Ban told himself, clearly his family was still discussing things last night. In the next few days, his father was going to take leave and he was going together with his family to go to an island to celebrate the Chinese New Year!
Lu Ban Ban opened his mouth, not saying a single word.
Zhang Li Gang looked at his appearance that was as though he was scared stiff. He then slapped his shoulder: “Ban Ban! Now is not the time to be scared! Your grandparents are now being rescued. Quickly give your uncle or aunt a call! Otherwise, the hospital might not let your grandparents be hospitalised.”
Lu Ban Ban abruptly shivered. He suddenly felt that he was really cold without a jacket. Did the house central heating suddenly stop? Thinking like this, he rapidly ran back to the living room to find his phone and make a call.
“Uncle! Something, something happened to father! Grandpa and grandma are in hospital. You……”
Lu Ban Ban hadn’t finishing speaking when the phone on the other side already hung up. Lu Ban Ban listened to the busy tone coming from the phone, his face inconceivable. He even expressed some helplessness as he turned his head to look at Uncle Zhang standing by the door.
Zhang Li Gang did not think that the situation would be like this. Lu Ban Ban stared blankly for a while before saying with red eyes: “My, my uncle and them seem to think that grandpa and grandma are biased……Also…… they say that my father doesn’t know how to take care of his business……”
Although Lu Ban Ban’s words didn’t follow the situation, Zhang Li Gang quickly understood the meaning behind those words. Although it was like this, Zhang Li Gang found it hard to comprehend his uncle’s actions. Even if his parents were partial and the brothers didn’t get along, when something big happens to the entire family, as the eldest son, shouldn’t he do something?!
However, Zhang Li Gang couldn’t say this out loud. After all, he was only their neighbour. It was already good that he could specifically run here to inform Lu Ban Ban.
“Ai. You should hurry up and go to the central hospital with your money. Your grandparents’ situation isn’t very good. They might need a lot of money to be treated and hospitalised.” After saying this, Zhang Li Gang also left.
Looking at the back of the departing Zhang Li Gang, Lu Ban Ban reached out wanting to say something, but he didn’t manage to grab him or say anything. A moment later, Lu Ban Ban clenched his teeth and let out a soft whimper. He rummaged through the whole house until he found 100,000 yuan and then hastily went to the hospital.
When Lu Ban Ban was sitting in the car, he was shaking all over. He prayed that his father, mother, grandpa and grandma wouldn’t have any mishaps. Clearly he was already studying hard, and also very sincerely apologised to Zhou Lai. Everything was evidently heading in the right direction. But why was it that in just one night everything changed?
“Doctor! Doctor! My grandparents are being saved, I am their grandson! Doctor, do you know where my grandparents are?!”
Lu Ban Ban rushed into the hospital. In this big winter, his slightly fat body had already ran until he worked up a sweat. He firmly held the bag full of money in his arms and grabbed each doctor passing by to inquire about his grandparents. The 3 people he had caught were all in a hurry and left without stopping. The central hospital was simply too busy. No one had the time to pay attention to a little fatty.
At this moment, Lu Ban Ban suddenly felt that the whole world seemed to become unfamiliar and scary.
“You can go look in the emergency room on the second floor. The news you’re looking for should be there.” There was finally a female doctor who stopped and spoke. However, after she finished saying this, she also quickly left. Lu Ban Ban’s body stopped for a moment before running over to the female doctor and giving thanks. He then quickly rushed to the emergency room on the second floor.
However, in his anxiousness, he was still too late.
When Lu Ban Ban watched the doctor cover his grandmother in a white cloth and wheel her out, he blankly stared rooted to the spot. The hospital was obviously heated and there were voices everywhere. Although he was still panting, he felt that in this second, he was particularly cold.
Poor Ban Ban. I want Ren Zhu to smack his uncle with a brick.
