Chapter 3260

~8 min read 1,420 words

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Su Xinghui returned to the capital. Except for Lu Xiaoya, no one else in the Su family knew about what happened in Baozhou during this period. Therefore, the Su family was still in a joyful atmosphere, planning to celebrate Su Wenjun's birthday.

Su Xingyun's family had already arrived in the capital. In the past few years, they have all come to the capital for the New Year.

As soon as Su Xinghui entered the door, Lu Xiaoya was in the yard. She looked at Su Xinghui up and down, front and back. Su Xinghui asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "I want to see if you are missing any parts?"

Su Xinghui said, "How can that be?"

Su Xinghui's down jacket that was shot was naturally handed over to the Public Security Bureau as evidence. He bought a new down jacket and put it on. He didn't suffer any other injuries, so Lu Xiaoya looked around and felt relieved.

The couple spoke in a very low voice, and other people in the family were also busy and not in the yard, so no one heard them talking. Lu Xiaoya was not in a hurry to ask him, she smiled beautifully and said, "That's good, you go and accompany Dad to play chess first, I'm going to the kitchen."

Su Xinghui went to the living room. Su Wenjun was playing chess with Tan Mingcheng. Seeing Su Xinghui return, Su Wenjun said, "Back?"

Su Xinghui also nodded and said, "Back."

The father and son didn't have much to say. Su Xinghui sat next to the chessboard and watched the chess, while Niuniu sat opposite Su Xinghui and watched the chess there in a regular manner. The father and son looked at each other. Su Xinghui squeezed his eyes with Niuniu. Niuniu couldn't help laughing, but he didn't make a sound. After all, he was watching the chess, so he had to follow the rules.

As soon as he returned home, Su Xinghui felt that his heart had calmed down. In the more than a month in Baozhou, Su Xinghui's spirit had been relatively tense, and only home was his best harbor.

After a while, the family had a happy meal and celebrated Su Wenjun's birthday. After eating and cleaning up the dining table, Lu Xiaoya pulled Su Xinghui into the room. The family only thought that the couple hadn't seen each other for a long time and wanted to say some private words, so they didn't take it seriously.

Lu Xiaoya pulled Su Xinghui into the room and asked, "Tell me carefully, how was the gunman caught?"

Su Xinghui knew that this matter could not be hidden from his wife, so he told Lu Xiaoya about his plan to use himself as bait to lure the snake out of its hole. Lu Xiaoya's mouth was wide open. After listening to Su Xinghui, Lu Xiaoya cried: "Why are you so stupid? What should I do if something happens to you? Let me see, where did that shot hit?"

Su Xinghui pointed to his right chest and said, "Right here, but I wore a bulletproof vest, so nothing will happen, so don't worry."

Lu Xiaoya touched his right chest and cried, "Does it hurt?"

Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt, I'm wearing a bulletproof vest."

In fact, although he wore a bulletproof vest, Su Xinghui still felt a little pain when the shot hit here at that time. After resting for two days, it is better now, but of course he cannot tell Lu Xiaoya this, otherwise Lu Xiaoya will be worried to death.

Lu Xiaoya said, "Why did you hide this from me?"

Su Xinghui said, "I was afraid you would worry."

Lu Xiaoya said, "You are not allowed to hide anything from me in the future, and you are not allowed to do such dangerous things again!"

Su Xinghui said, "I know. This time it was also something that couldn't be helped. That Wu Hui is indeed too cunning. If it weren't for this, I guess I would never be able to catch him, and he would always be my threat. If I don't take some risks to remove this threat, how can we live our lives in the future?"

Lu Xiaoya also understood this truth. She nodded, leaned into Su Xinghui's arms, and the couple quietly cherished each other.

However, Lu Xiaoya was also worried. Su Xinghui offended many people. What should he do if such things happen again in the future?

Of course, she wouldn't say this to Su Xinghui. She believed that Su Xinghui could think of this problem himself, and for Su Xinghui's work, it is impossible not to offend people. Not offending people is to be a mediocre official, and how could Su Xinghui be a mediocre official?

After a long time, Lu Xiaoya raised her head and said, "Xinghui, you should go out less in the future. If you have to go out, bring a few people with you, at least bring Master Zhai, he can also protect you."

Su Xinghui understood Lu Xiaoya's mood, and he nodded and said, "I know, I will listen to you in the future."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Sigh, I also know that I can't control you when you are outside, but you must think of me and Niuniu, and your parents first when you do anything in the future. What should we do if something happens to you?"

Su Xinghui said, "I know, I will think of you no matter what I do in the future. By the way, Xiaoya, I may not be able to take you and Niuniu to Guangdong this year."

Lu Xiaoya asked strangely, "Why can't we go to Guangdong? I was planning to go there to pay New Year calls to my parents."

Su Xinghui said, "Now Guangdong has broken out with a SARS epidemic, and the epidemic is quite serious. This disease is highly contagious, and it is not easy to treat after being infected. Now there are many cases in hospitals in Guangdong that are critically ill, and even life-threatening."

Lu Xiaoya said, "You are talking about this. I also know about this. I heard that the chef who first got this disease seemed to have his trachea cut open and put on a ventilator to be saved, but now it seems that the epidemic is not so serious. Is it okay for us to pay a New Year call?"

Su Xinghui said, "It seems that the epidemic is not so serious now, but it is actually still very serious, because there is no specific medicine to prevent and treat SARS yet. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. If we go to Guangdong and get infected, that would not be a good thing, especially Niuniu, he is still young and his resistance is not so strong, so this is also the meaning of your parents."

Lu Zhenghong did call Su Xinghui and asked them not to go to Guangdong Province to pay New Year calls this year. He was also afraid. If his daughter's family went to Guangdong and got infected with SARS, he would regret it too late. Song Qiaoli also meant this, and she was also worried about the safety of her daughter's family.

Once Niuniu's safety was mentioned, Lu Xiaoya stopped insisting. She nodded and said, "Okay, then we won't go to Guangdong this year, but what about your parents there?"

Lu Xiaoya worried about the safety of Lu Zhenghong and Song Qiaoli. This is the common feeling of children. Lu Zhenghong and Song Qiaoli are both old, and their resistance is also not strong, so she is naturally worried.

Su Xinghui said, "Don't worry about this. Your parents are all in the Provincial Party Committee compound, rarely have contact with the outside world, and have special health and epidemic prevention personnel to disinfect every day, and special medical staff to take care of them, so nothing will happen."

Lu Xiaoya thought about it, and it was the same truth, so she felt a little relieved.

Su Xinghui said, "Xiaoya, you must also be careful in the capital. In the future, take Niuniu less to crowded places. Although the epidemic is still in Guangdong, it is the Spring Festival period, and the population flow is frequent. Who knows if it will spread to the capital one day?"
