There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

Xingxiong on the other end of the phone stuttered a little, not knowing how to describe the report and statement he had received.

Chen's movements were very efficient and the whole process was completed in almost one minute.

"Just to be frank, I don't remember you being such a fussy person."

Lifting his legs over the seat, Chen inserted the car key and started the motorcycle.

Lowering her body, Chen slightly twisted the handle with her right hand, waiting for Xingxiong to explain the matter so that she could concentrate on setting off.

Robbery? Murder? Or perhaps a large-scale gang fight? Conjecturing in his mind, Chen glanced back at the house.

Hopefully I didn't wake her up.

Just as Chen was about to leave, Xingxiong's words made her silent.

"Old Chen, there's a thief in your house."

After hesitating for a long time, Xingxiong finally spoke out his words, making Chen, who was ready to strike, feel like a fool.

Looking back at the house again, Chen said uncertainly, "My...house?"

"Well, yes, come over here now, we..."

Chen didn't quite understand what was said next. Of course, even if he did, it would only add to his confusion.

Wake her up in the middle of the night and tell her there's a thief in the house...

Then why didn’t I see it when I just came out?!

"Listen, if you're kidding me, just say it now. It's still early and I can get three more hours of sleep."

Silently interrupting Xingxiong on the other end of the phone, Chen took out his car keys and walked towards home.

"Old Chen, it's not your house in Taipu, it's a villa in Taiheng."

"Where will I get the money to buy a villa?"

"I don't know, but your name is on the property deed anyway."

.........

Finally, at Xingxiong's strong request, Chen rode his bike out and came to the Guard Bureau, where he saw Xingxiong, who also had messy hair.

"That joke isn't funny."

With a pair of dead fish eyes slanted, Chen's mood at the moment was like a pufferfish about to explode.

"I wish this was a joke, but it's true."

Walking forward, Xingxiong handed Chen the report record he had just received.

"Around 2:30 in the morning, the surveillance camera over there captured these two sneaky guys. Ten minutes later, they climbed over the wall and entered the villa. About ten minutes later, a small explosion occurred outside the villa, waking up the surrounding residents. That's when I called you."

After briefly describing the entire process, Xingxiong stepped aside and yawned.

Chen was not the only one who was woken up in the middle of the night; she was one of them.

But compared to Chen's involvement, she was completely unprovoked.

"Let's go, let's go take a look."

After making sure that Xingxiong was not teasing her, Chen's expression became serious. Burglary and explosion, these two combined were enough to make her go out in the middle of the night.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Raising his hands high, Xingxiong stretched his body, then picked up the Prajna that was placed aside and followed Chen's footsteps.

Because he was on duty, Chen found an empty police car in the Guard Bureau and drove Xingxiong straight to the scene of the incident.

With Chen driving at high speed, the two soon arrived at the scene of the incident.

"If you were driving that fast during the day, you would definitely be stopped."

Xingxiong got out of the car, holding a shield and teasing Chen.

"Then wait until they catch him."

Picking up his own sword, Chen looked at their target.

It was a villa. Compared with the surrounding buildings, it looked a little old-fashioned. Of course, it could also be called quaint.

A large hole was made in the wall outside the villa by an unknown weapon. Perhaps this was the source of the noise that prompted the surrounding residents to report the case.

Volume 5: Chapter 118: Memories of the Past

After Chen and Xingxiong exchanged glances, they walked forward cautiously.

Although the person has left, no one can say whether there are any dangerous items left inside. It is always good to be careful.

Walking to the gate, Chen looked at the gate painted vermilion, and suddenly a vague image flashed through his mind. While thinking, Chen saw the house number next to the gate.

No. 88, Taiheng Road.

here...

"Old Chen? What are you looking at so intently?"

Xingxiong, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at Chen in a trance and nudged him with his arm.

After being prodded by Xingxiong, Chen regained consciousness. Looking at his surroundings, he turned around and asked Xingxiong, "Was this place called University Road before?"

"Yes, but it was later renamed."

"...Then this seems to be my home."

As Xingxiong answered, the memories hidden deep in Chen's heart slowly emerged.

This is indeed her home, but it is her childhood home.

"Isn't your house in Taipu? I was there last time and the lady's cooking skills were pretty good."

Touching his chin with his hand, Xingxiong stood on tiptoe and looked into the courtyard. "Although you are indeed the owner of this villa, based on your salary, it will take at least twenty years to buy it."

"Old Chen, tell me the truth, did you accept bribes?"

"Fuck off!"

Xingxiong's teasing instantly made the atmosphere on the scene much more relaxed, and Chen also came out of his memories and faced his past.

"This is the mansion of my biological father's family. It seems to have been renovated and the name has been changed, so I didn't remember it for a while."

By telling the origin of the house, Chen quickly rescued himself from the bribery scandal.

"Did you live here before you went to study in Victoria? There were indeed rumors that you and Mr. Wei were nobles of the Yan Kingdom."

"Nobles? They are, but I am not."

With a scoff, Chen placed his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

"But it's hard to convince me with this house sitting here. What should I call it?"

"...Humph, Chen Mansion."

With a casual and precise stroke of his sword, Chen cut off the door lock and kicked the door open.

"come in."

"You...huh?"

Chen's series of smooth movements made Xingxiong stunned, as if this was not Chen's home, but the home of her enemy.

However, despite being surprised, Xingxiong still hurried to follow.

When he approached the door, Xingxiong looked at the smooth floor and suddenly stopped.

"Just come in, no need to take off your shoes."

As if he saw Xingxiong's concerns, Chen walked in with his shoes on, leaving a series of muddy shoe prints on the floor.

"Old Chen, answer me seriously, do you hate your dad a little bit?"

Following him and standing behind Chen, Xingxiong looked at his partner.

She had thought that after all these years of getting along, she had gotten to know Chen very well, but now it seemed that all that was just a superficial disguise.

Old Chen...

"He's not worthy of being my father."

After responding to Xingxiong with brief words, Chen followed his memory to a door, put his hand on it, but did not move for a long time.

Seeing this, Xingxiong probably understood a little bit: "I'll wait for you outside. Call me when you leave."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Every family has its own problems. Xingxiong, who came from a poor family, felt this very well. She didn't expect that a rich lady like Chen would also have such troubles.

Xingxiong left, and Chen was the only one left in the huge room. Without any outsiders present, Chen no longer hesitated and pressed the handle.

As Chen exerted force, the door was slowly pushed open, and a room with childish furnishings and a girlish style appeared in front of Chen.

A princess bed, a doll, and several pillows, all of Chen's childhood toys appeared in this room, neatly arranged, looking as good as new.

"Hmph...you're still keeping them? You're really tolerant, or do you think I'm a jinx and don't want to touch these things?"

Walking forward, Chen closed the door and quietly looked at the toys that existed in his childhood memories. The man's words appeared in front of Chen's eyes.

“Toys should be put away neatly.”

“You are not allowed to leave the house.”

“You need permission to talk to others.”

"Don't look adults in the eye without their consent."

The rules set in childhood flashed before Chen's eyes, and then disappeared like smoke.

"Oh, right, photos."

After taking a nostalgic look at the layout of the room, Chen remembered what he had missed.

Walking to the northeast corner of the room, Chen came to a wardrobe and stopped. Just as she was about to open the door, she discovered an imperceptible mark on the door.

"Those two thieves were here?"

After judging the specific situation from the freshness of the traces, Chen became curious.

Instead of stealing the valuable furniture in the room, they ran into a little girl's room. What on earth were these two people trying to do?

Pulling open the closet door, Chen blinked at the empty closet: "It's the same as before."

His hand was groping on the upper layer of the wardrobe, and soon, there was a photo in Chen's hand.

"That's not right. I remember I put them all here before, didn't I?"

Looking at the only seedling in his hand, Chen touched it a few more times in disbelief, and gave up his search after confirming that there was nothing.

So those two guys went through so much trouble to come in just to steal my photos???

What's wrong with this?

After complaining about the two stupid thieves in his heart, Chen turned his attention to this only child.

The only remaining photo is a group photo, a "family" photo, a beautiful woman, a man with his head torn off, and the little girl standing in the middle, looking a little uneasy.

Due to the passage of time, the photo has faded and the specific color can no longer be seen, but Chen can recognize it because it is the only photo of him and her.

In a trance, the painful curse sounded in Chen's ears again.

"You can't have my love! Not at all!"

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, but I can't accept you. Every time I see you, I can't help but kill myself..."

"You all are unbearable to me. You are too selfish. So am I. I can't hold on any longer."

"You will understand, one day...hate if you want to. I hate you, you hate me, this is the best..."

The words ended there. When Chen saw her again, she was lying quietly in a cold cabinet, surrounded by adults who came to pay their respects. Chen stood aside, looking at her blankly, not knowing what had happened.

Of course, she knew that now.

"It's amazing that such early photos are still there. I thought they were lost."

With a sigh, Chen raised his hand to put the photo back in its place, but after thinking about it, he tore off the man in the photo completely and put the photo back in his pocket.

It is still just a memory, and it would be too much to just throw it away.
