Chapter 1955: Chapter 1955: A Ray of Hope (first, a monthly ticket)
The surveillance cameras at the Hong Hotel only recorded videos and did not make any sound.
However, Lu Jin had learned lip language before, so he could roughly guess what these people were saying through the angle of their lips opening and closing, their facial expressions, and the movements of their tongues.
However, the angle of the surveillance cameras was not very good, because there was a large area of greenery in this corner to create a private atmosphere, which also blocked the surveillance range of some of the cameras.
Lu Jin could only clearly see half of the people’s facial expressions and the direction in which their lips were moving.
However, he also understood the whole story from this half of the people.
It was just as Huo Shaoheng had said, not a single cent had gone up, not a single cent had gone down.
It was hard for Lu Jin to admire a person, but Huo Shaoheng was gradually becoming like Lu Yuan in his own professional field, gaining Lu Jin’s respect and recognition.
After confirming that Huo Shaoheng wasn’t exaggerating, Lu Jin felt even worse about Gu Nianzhi.
At one point, he even wondered if he had made the wrong decision.
If Gu Nianzhi had been married to Huo Shaoheng earlier, and everyone in the world knew that Gu Nianzhi was Huo Shaoheng’s wife, no one would have looked down on her and thought that she could be sacrificed at any time, right?
Even though it was just a small matter like a reserved seat, Lu Jin was concerned about his daughter’s personality and dignity.
He did not give gu nianzhi a carefree and harmless childhood. In order to make up for it, he had to work harder than an ordinary father. He wanted his daughter to have a wide and unobstructed road in the future.
Lu Jin silently downloaded the surveillance video into his phone. He then went to check the surveillance video elsewhere in the hall that day.
He also saw that the two women named Guo Huining and Dou Aiyan had gone to the second floor. However, when they were halfway there, they saw Huo Shaoheng coming down and quickly hid.
Huo Shaoheng did not see the two of them. After Huo Shaoheng came down, the two of them did not go upstairs. Instead, they returned to their reserved seats and called their friends from the other two investment banks over.
Lu Jin snorted coldly as he watched them chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
..
For the next week, Lu Jin lived a routine life.

He woke up in the morning, had breakfast, and then video-chatted with Gu Nianzhi about what had happened the day before. He also talked about what he wanted to do today.
If Gu Nianzhi was interested, she would come to Lu Jin’s apartment and work with him.
If she was busy, Lu Jin would continue with his research.
However, most of the time, he was called by Song Jinning to the Institute of high energy physics to give lectures to her graduate students and researchers.
Lu Jin had been hired by song Jinning as a visiting professor at the Institute of High Energy Physics. He had an official title, salary, and full benefits.
Lu Yuan was very supportive of Lu Jin’s lectures at the Institute of High Energy Physics. This way, he could take the opportunity to deliver food to Lu Jin and also give song jinning a well-prepared meal.
Song Jinning had also spent the past 18 years in pain.
Although she had recovered with the help of Gu Nianzhi’s bone marrow, her once out-of-control nervous system still needed to be repaired and nurtured.
Lu Yuan’s guilt was incomparable, but he did not say a word.
Song Jinning thought that she had benefited from Lu Jin. After eating for a few days, her mouth had become more and more cheeky. Occasionally, she would go to the cafeteria for breakfast, but she actually felt like she could not eat.
It was Friday. Lu Yuan was a little late when he went to deliver lunch to Lu Jin.
Song Jinning did not eat breakfast. She had been waiting for Lu Yuan to deliver lunch, but in the end, she was so hungry that Lu Yuan still had not arrived.
She was so hungry that her blood sugar was almost low. She sat in front of the experiment table listlessly. Her mind was full of thoughts, wondering if she should go to the cafeteria to buy lunch.
In the end, hunger overcame everything. When she got up and was about to go to the cafeteria, Lu Yuan finally arrived.
As soon as he entered, he smiled and said, “I’m sorry, I was a little late today. Before I left, I received a call. I have to rush out later. I just made a few simple dishes. You guys eat first. I’ll Cook a big meal when I get back tonight.”
Song Jinning immediately took the food box and said with a smile, “You’re finally here. I’m about to faint from hunger!”
Lu Yuan:”…”
Although he said “Late,”he was only half an hour later than his usual delivery time. How could he faint from hunger?
He raised his eyes to look at song Jinning’s laboratory, but he didn’t see Lu Jin’s figure. He asked lightly, “Where’s Lu Jin?”
Song Jinning opened her food box and took out her food. She said, “He’s still doing experiments. He said he’ll eat lunch after the results are out.”
Lu Jin was obviously not hungry.
Why was song Jinning so hungry?
Lu Yuan looked at his watch and asked calmly, “Director song, what did you have for breakfast?”
Song Jinning put a mouthful of fried rice into her mouth and chewed contentedly. After swallowing it, she said,”… I was too busy in the morning and didn’t have time to eat.”
Lu Yuan:”…”
It seemed that from next week, Lu Jin would have to bring two servings of breakfast over.
Lu Yuan made a mental note in his heart and said, “Then I’ll be leaving first. After eating, put the food box in the fridge. I’ll take it home to wash it tonight.”
“It’s okay, I washed it while I was at it.”Song Jinning was in a good mood as she ate. She waved her hand at Lu Yuan, “Go do your work. I’ll pass this lunch to professor Lu.”
Lu Yuan did not say anything else. He smiled at her and turned around to leave the Institute of High Energy Physics.
After getting into the car, he sped all the way to the Military General Hospital.
Ever since he came back, he had not been to this place once.
He knew that his father, Huo Xuenong, had become a vegetable and was receiving treatment here.
But he did not want to see his father at all.
Moreover, his surname was no longer Huo. Legally speaking, Huo Xuenong had nothing to do with him.
But the law was the law. He was Huo Xuenong’s biological son. There was no doubt about that.
Today, it was Huo Guanchen who took the initiative to call him, asking him to come to the military general hospital to see his father. He said that he had something important to discuss with him.
Actually, it was Zhang Baochen who called Huo Guanchen and said that he would find someone else to try to save Huo Xuenong.
Huo Guanchen heard Zhang Baochen’s reason and felt that it was fine. However, he said that he would consider it for the time being and give Zhang Baochen an answer in two days.
If Huo Guanchen did not agree, Zhang Baochen would not be able to make the decision to bring Huo Xuenong out of the military general hospital alone.
Huo Guanchen also thought that since Huo Guanyuan was back, his father was also involved. Therefore, this kind of matter needed the three brothers to discuss properly before making a decision.
Of course, because of Huo Guanyuan’s special status, Huo Guanchen still had this bit of vigilance. He did not tell Zhang Baochen that Huo Guanyuan had already returned. He only said that he needed to think about it, but in reality, he was calling Lu Yuan, he wanted him to come to the military general hospital to meet grandfather Huo.
Lu Yuan thought for a long time before deciding to come and see Huo Xuenong.
He didn’t want to do anything else. He just wanted to see what had happened to this man.
Just like Huo Shaoheng, he wasn’t a person full of emotions.
In fact, the most important characteristic of people who worked on the special front was their calmness. It was extraordinary calmness, a calmness that transcended all emotions and desires.
Another important characteristic was their decisiveness. They would never make sloppy decisions.
After such a long time, their feelings would be very deep. Sometimes, they would even be so deep that they would not be able to detect it.
..
Lu Yuan parked his car in the parking lot of the Military General Hospital. He went to the place that he had made an appointment with Huo Guanchen, which was Huo Xuenong’s ward.
As it was Friday, the nurse that Huo Guanchen had hired had just left. Huo Guanchen sat alone in grandfather Huo’s ward, lost in thought.
The door of the ward was open. Lu Yuan knocked on the door.
Huo Guanchen turned his head and saw that it was Lu Yuan who had come. He nodded at him and said, “Big Brother, you’re here.”
Lu Yuan walked in slowly and said indifferently, “I’ve said it before. My surname is Lu, not your big brother.”
Huo Guanchen smiled bitterly and turned to look at Huo Xuenong, who was still on the bed. He said, “Okay, Lu Yuan, look at father. We haven’t seen each other for eighteen years. Do you really not miss him at all?”
Lu Yuan thought to himself, decades ago, after he found out that Huo Xuenong had an illegitimate child with his head nurse, he had no feelings for Huo Xuenong.
Now, if he were to say that he missed him, he might not be able to say it even when he was on a mission.
Lu Yuan put his hands in his trouser pockets and sat on the windowsill indifferently, saying, “I have too many things to think about. My brain capacity is limited, so I temporarily exclude irrelevant people.”
“Our father is irrelevant? !”Huo Guanchen turned his head in shock and stared at Lu Yuan, “You weren’t like this back then! Where have you been these 18 years? ! How did you become like this? !”
Where was his gentle, gentle, and kind big brother? !
The Big Brother who had a big argument with him a few days ago, he had always refused to accept it. He even thought that his big brother had said it in anger.
When he was in a good mood, the two brothers would definitely be able to bury the hatchet.
Lu Yuan crossed his arms and looked at Huo Guanchen expressionlessly. After a while, he shook his head and said, “Why did you ask me to come?”
Huo Guanchen racked his brain and tried to find something to say. “Zhang Baochen is our third brother. He said…”
“Shut up.”Lu Yuan was neither angry nor angry, but he firmly stopped him. “I don’t have a third brother. I only have a second brother. His name is Lu Jin.”
At this time, even Huo Guanchen did not recognize him.
Huo Guanchen was speechless for a moment, and then he was embarrassed into anger. He stood up and pointed at Lu Yuan, saying, “Whether you admit it or not, you are my big brother! My Biological Big Brother!”
Then he pointed at Huo Xuenong, who was still on the hospital bed, and said,”… He is also his son! His real son!”
Lu Yuan put down his arms and stood up straight, he smiled estranged, “No, your real big brother, his real son, died eighteen years ago. Now, the person standing in front of you is another person. Whether you believe it or not, that is the truth.”
Huo Guanchen was suffocated by Lu Yuan’s imposing manner.
Lu Yuan put his hands back in his trouser pockets, slightly sunburned, and turned to leave Huo Xuenong’s ward.
Huo Guanchen’s hands were trembling, and a sentence rolled in his chest, but he could not say it.
He knew that General Ji and the others had already approved Lu Yuan’s change of name.
This kind of thing was also a routine operation for people like Lu Yuan in the industry.
But he just didn’t want to. He just didn’t want to!
He knew better than anyone else what Lu Yuan would do if he completely gave up his identity as Huo Guanyuan..
Watching Lu Yuan’s back gradually disappearing into the distance, huo guanchen shouted, “Big Brother! Do you really think that no one can control you? !”
Lu Yuan heard his shout, but he didn’t have any intention of stopping. He still walked forward unhurriedly.
When he saw the old man on the hospital bed, his heart did not waver at all. He did not want to laugh.
He just felt calm and indifferent. It was no different from seeing a stranger.
As for Huo Guanchen’s intense reaction, it was also within Lu Yuan’s expectations.
But he did not care. He did not want to care anymore.
Huo Guanchen stood alone in Huo Xuenong’s ward. It was not until the sky was dark that the nurse came in to check on the ward. He turned on the lights and came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.
He picked up his phone and walked to the corridor at the door. He called Zhang Baochen and said, “Baochen? Okay, I agree. You can help your father transfer to another hospital.”
The worst outcome for his father was the same as now.
In Huo Guanchen’s opinion, there was no worse outcome than now. So why not let Zhang Baochen give it a try?
There might still be a glimmer of hope.
