Bionic Era

Chapter 30: Old things in the west of the city

Views:

It's getting light.

The big screen on the tall building in the distance began to scroll the news, and the huge holographic projection in the sky also began to display advertisements.

Androids and ordinary humans wearing bracelets gradually appeared on the streets.

The world comes alive and becomes colorful.

Yun Yang had two big dark circles under his eyes and yawned, telling them that there was no problem with the car.

But he couldn't deal with the seat belts and airbags, so he suggested returning them to the factory.

"Thank you very much."

Lu Wen paid the reward.

The two returned to the car.

Start the car.

"You see, seat belts and airbags are still necessary." Lu Wen felt that it was necessary to instill some life safety theories into Xia Chuluo.

It just so happened that he had countless books on this subject in his mind.

"Um."

Xia Chuluo shrugged.

But it seems that there is still no plan to fix the seat belt.

"Going to Haicheng Building next?"

"Um."

No. 1 Li Jian and Zhang Hua, who just died last night, both supervised the Haicheng Building project.

This 108-meter-high building stands in the most prosperous area of the 14th District.

Most of the executives who came last night were from the 12th, 13th, and 14th districts.

Li Jian No. 1 is a resident of District 12, but he lived in District 14 for a long time and finally died in District 14.

"Want to go in?"

Drove to Haicheng Building.

Dark blue tempered glass covers the entire building. It is one of the many giants, standing high above, overlooking the endless flow below.

White-collar workers were either carrying bags on their backs or carrying folders under their arms, walking in and out, looking in a hurry.

Lu Wen thought of the line in "The Shawshank Redemption": In this life, people are either busy living or busy dying.

"No, pull over and I'll find an acquaintance."

Xia Chuluo's magical connections came into play again.

Wait until you find that person.

Lu Wen just discovered.

The acquaintance she mentioned was actually a homeless man on the roadside.

"Ask you something." Xia Chuluo looked at the man.

"Executive Officer Xia, long time no see. Come on, come on. Sit down. You're welcome."

The wanderer was very enthusiastic, as if they were very familiar with each other.

He took out two old newspapers from behind and placed them on the ground.

"This little brother, come and sit here too. You're welcome. Just treat it as your own home."

Xia Chuluo was really rude and sat on an old newspaper.

Seeing this, Lu Wen also sat down.

"Haicheng Building was built ten years ago. Did you encounter any problems at that time?" Xia Chuluo took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to the man.

Lu Wen felt that he had seen it wrong.

This girl carries a pack of cigarettes with her and bribes homeless people

"Of course there is, what a big problem!" The wanderer happily took the pack of cigarettes and was about to smoke one when he raised his head and looked at Xia Chuluo, "Forget it, I'll smoke it later and don't let Executive Xia smoke it. Secondhand smoke.”

"Tell me what happened. There is no record in the Executive Directorate files." Xia Chuluo said.

"Of course there is no record. In the eyes of the Executive Directors, these are just trivial matters." Wanderer said with a smile.

"Demolish it?" Xia Chuluo glanced at the nearby terrain.

"Executive Officer Xia is not only beautiful and kind-hearted, but he is also so smart... It is indeed something like this." The wanderer pointed to the building not far away, "There were several old houses here at the time, and the people inside were always unwilling to do so. To move out, the people in Landi used various methods, cutting off water and electricity, and it took more than a month to persuade the people inside to leave. "

"all gone?"

Xia Chuluo keenly captured the key to the problem.

Lu Wen also understood something.

"Hehe..." The wanderer smiled, showing two rows of big yellow teeth.

"Some people leave, and some people stay forever."

Two kilometers away from Haicheng Building is a middle school.

Outside the wall, countless blue and purple jacaranda flowers are in full bloom.

The wind blows and petals are flying all over the sky.

This is a sea of flowers. Boys and girls are walking under the trees, and the sound of reading loudly comes from the teaching building, which makes people yearn for it.

"Executive Officer Xia, why are you here today? Have you had breakfast?"

In the teaching building, there is an office.

Xia Chuluo once again showed Lu Wen her strong network of connections.

There was a middle-aged female teacher sitting in the office, wearing dark glasses. When the two came in, she was correcting homework at her desk.

The traditional way of greeting someone is to ask if they have eaten.

"have eaten."

Xia Chuluo spoke calmly.

Lu Wenxun thought that she could deceive people without any fluctuation in her tone.

"I want to check something." Xia Chuluo explained his purpose and sat down on the side of the desk.

"You said that as long as I can help, I will not refuse. Thanks to you in the past two years, we can find those children who have run away from home in time." The female teacher said sincerely.

"Education is a century-old plan. Don't put pressure on students and provide more guidance."

"Yes, the school has changed many systems."

"Ten years ago, was there a girl named Ye Ling who was in junior high school in your class?"

"Yes, of course, I am particularly impressed by that little girl!"

Teachers generally know their students very well.

A three-year relationship, as long as it is not particularly low-key or inconspicuous, can almost leave an impression on the teacher's mind.

"That little girl has a good family background. She is in business. There is an old house near the center of this area..." the female teacher said.

Ye Ling, who is in junior high school, is very naughty and does not have good grades. She is a bad student in the eyes of many teachers.

She came from a good family, developed early, and was somewhat precocious.

She once broke off many blue jacaranda flowers and formed a bouquet to express her love to an introverted male classmate in the class.

The matter soon reached the parents of both parties.

The male classmate's family background was not good and he dropped out of school not long after.

Later, due to relocation, her family could no longer live in their old house, so she transferred to another school.

"Where did she transfer to?" Xia Chuluo asked.

"There is a middle school in the 13th District. I can't remember the specific name. There are many middle schools there, but I heard that she didn't report it in the end. I don't know what happened. There should be a record of this in the archives. I'll look for it. Let's look..." the female teacher tried to remember.

"No need, I already understand the general situation, I'm ready to work."

Xia Chuluo thanked him and stood up.

"Executive Officer Xia, Ye Ling... did she commit anything?" The female teacher said hesitantly, "That child was just a little outgoing before, but actually she is not bad in nature."

"It's okay, don't think too much."

Xia Chuluo comforted him.

The two walked out of the office.

On campus.

Countless jacaranda flowers fell from the trees, they were born wandering.

They go wherever the wind blows.

Some flowers bloom on the same tree, but then wither and scatter.

They cannot decide their own destiny. They may find the other side of their hearts in confusion, or they may fall at a crossroads in despair and turn into dust in the wind.
