Chapter 559
You Really Overestimate Me
The cars coming and going on the highway in Londinium converged into a majestic and dazzling light path. A black commercial vehicle was speeding on the road, and the white light of the street lamps cast bright shadows on the body.
Sitting in the commercial vehicle, Lin Yi glanced at the thick man who sandwiched himself like a sandwich bread in the blink of an eye. His vision reflected the streets of the residential area on the outskirts of the highway, which made Lin Yi suspiciously look at Louis in the driver’s seat in front of him.
“Where do you want to take me?”
“I’ve already said that, I just want to invite you to my house for a meal.”
Captain Louis’ answer made Lin Yi slightly squint his eyes. He knew clearly that once the secret he held was confirmed, Louis could be prosecuted to a court-martial and his achievements on the battlefield would be wiped out. He was even cast aside by everyone and hanged on the execution platform, so he will definitely try his best to seal Lin Yi’s mouth.
And the only way to keep people’s secrets forever is to kill people…
But what Lin Yi was very curious about was why Captain Louis didn’t do anything for so long. Instead, he took himself into the car and deliberately took a long way to go to other places.
The black commercial vehicle drove into the residential area and stopped slowly in front of the residential building covered with red tiles.
The bumps when the vehicle came to a stop made Lin Yi tremble slightly, and in a blink of an eye, he looked at the single-family building with dilapidated bricks and tiles next to the car, with blue-purple morning glories hanging from the roof.
“here is…”
Lin Yi looked at the red residential building in front of him in a daze, not understanding why Captain Louis brought him here.
“This is my home.”
Louis softly answered Lin Yi’s question, stretched out his hand and opened the door of the business car, and walked out from the passenger seat.
Lin Yi was sitting on the back seat of the car, looking through the one-centimeter-thick glass as Louis walked towards the small building. He couldn’t believe that the captain of the Kingdom of Victoria actually lived in such a dilapidated small building.
A muscular man in the back seat reached out and patted Lin Yi’s shoulder, pushing his slender shoulder slightly, trying to push him out of the car door, but when he reached out to push Lin Yi’s shoulder, he felt that he was shaking a car. Gao Shan, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t push his body halfway.
Feeling the strength of the strong man in military uniform behind him, Lin Yi glanced at him indifferently, walked out of the business car door, stepped on the sidewalk in front of the small building, and looked at the small western-style building covered with morning glories and cracked bricks and tiles in front of him. , squinting his eyes lightly and said, “How can the high-level military of the Kingdom, the captain of the Third Army live in such a dilapidated building?”
“Defending the country is the duty of our sergeants. The money we can get is nothing more than the officer’s salary and a little allowance. This building is still the first when I became a sergeant. I made military achievements and received military rewards. Bought it.”
Hearing Lin Yi’s question, LouisSmiling lightly, he said disapprovingly as if he was talking about other people’s affairs, then looked at Lin Yi in a blink of an eye and said, “Lin Yi, don’t stand stupidly outside, come in with me quickly.”
Hearing Captain Louis’ urging, Lin Yi put his hands into the pockets of his coat, and followed his footsteps to walk behind him.
“Captain Louis, you are not an ordinary soldier. You are a captain of the Third Army, a hero of the Battle of Toronto. You have made a lot of military achievements. How many celebrities and nobles are waiting to curry favor with you? Why do you live in this kind of place?”
“I have guarded the frontier all the year round, and there are very few days when I can return to Lundinium a year. Thank God for a general in the yellow sand and wilderness not to offend the nobles.” Captain Louis said with a light smile: “Being seen by celebrities and nobles? Can you You really overestimated me.”
Captain Louis joked and took off the hat embroidered with the military emblem on his head, put it under his arm, bent down, took out a key from the potted plant by the door, inserted it into the keyhole, and reached out to hold the handle of the door of the red building. Bundle.
As the door was pushed open by his hand, the brightly lit hallway in the house appeared in front of Lin Yi’s eyes.
“Lin Yi, come in, sit wherever you want.”
Lin Yi stopped in front of the threshold for a moment, looked up at the warm and relaxed smile on Captain Louis’ face, and wondered what kind of medicine he was selling.
After Louis entered the door, he unbuttoned his military jacket and hung it on the hanger beside the door together with the military cap. He glanced at Lin Yi who was standing outside the door from the corner of his eye, and urged, “Come in, Lin Yi.” .”
Lin Yi hesitated for a while when he heard the words, stepped over the threshold and stepped into the door, and carefully observed the interior of the building. The floor was covered with bright wooden boards, and the light of incandescent lamps shone warmly on the wooden furniture in the room. Comfortable atmosphere, different from the old appearance, the interior decoration of this small building is very careful.
“Louis, welcome back.”
Hearing a childish voice, Lin Yi saw a girl in a floral skirt jumping out of the living room, embracing Louis’s body with her arms wide open. Entering Louis’ belly, the golden ponytail on the back of his head swayed slightly, with an innocent smile on his face, and his pink and smooth face was as cute as a porcelain doll.
Captain Louis picked up the girl from the ground, let her sit on his thick arms, stretched out his fingers and gently scratched the tip of her small nose, and said with a happy smile: “Lisa, are you at home?” Do you listen to Aunt Julia?”
“Yeah, I’m pretty good at home, but Teacher Aunt Julia always breaks her promise and never reads storybooks to me as promised.”
Hearing the girl’s innocent words, Louis kissed her pink face and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, “Haha, I’m coming back today and I will tell you a storybook myself.”
Standing in the porch, Lin Yi watched Louis and the little girl behave like a father and daughter, carefully sizing up the petite and lovely girl.
The girl turned her head and suddenly found Lin Yi, her eyes shone like stars.
“Louis! Who is that pretty sister?”
Hearing Lisa’s curious words, Captain Louis turned to look at Lin Yi behind him.
“He’s the son of your Aunt Sereya, your elder brother Lin Yi.”
After knowing Lin Yi’s identity, the little girl looked at Lin Yi’s pupils with a brighter light, and looked at Lin Yi with her mouth open.
“Aunt Sereya’s son! He looks so beautiful! Louis, let me down, I’m going to change into a little dress.”
Hearing Lisa’s words, Lin Yi narrowed his eyes lightly, thinking that this girl is weird and cute.
And Louis’s right eyelid twitched slightly, and a forced smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was very jealous of his daughter’s empathy. He bent down and put Lisa on the ground, and raised his hand to stroke the top of her soft hair.
“Lisa, go find your Aunt Julia quickly, I want to talk to your brother Lin Yi.”
Hearing what Louis said, the little girl stepped on the floor with her feet on the floor. She glanced at Lin Yi in disappointment. She stepped into the living room with her soft feet and was held by a housewife wearing a white maid outfit with a Katyusha hat. Take the immature right hand and bring it into the room.
After Lisa and the maid walked into the room, Lin Yi turned to look at Louis, and asked suspiciously, “Didn’t you say you don’t have a wife?”
“Lisa is not my daughter, but the daughter of a former military friend of mine, but his father died for the country, and Lisa’s mother also died when she was seven years old, so I adopted her.”
Hearing that Louis said that the girl was an orphan adopted by him, Lin Yi’s eyes trembled slightly. He was also an orphan adopted by Selia, and his situation was very similar to Lisa’s.
“I’ll ask the housewife to make some food. You go to the living room and stay for a while.”
Hearing Louis’ words, Lin Yi watched him walk towards the kitchen, then walked into the living room, and stopped in front of the bookshelf.
It was rare to go deep into the enemy camp. Lin Yi decided to try his luck to see if he could find any evidence that Louis had an affair with the gangsters. He took down a military book and looked at it. He found that the text of the book was full of crooked marks, like Unsightly notes like ghost characters.
Lin Yi casually flipped through the books on the bookshelf, but found no evidence of an affair with a gangster, but found crooked reading notes on every book on the bookshelf.
Looking at the ugly handwriting on the book, Lin Yi slightly squinted her eyes, and raised her eyes to find a photo frame on the bookshelf.
In the photo frame, a man in military uniform is squatting among a group of more than forty children. The doorplate on the background of the photo reads ‘Alice is alone.Orphanage’ name, and a flower bouquet to celebrate the opening of the hospital, which looks like a photo of the orphanage he opened with fundraising.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of those children, Lin Yi seemed to hear their cheerful laughter. He reached out to pick up the photo frame, recalling the days when he was by Seleya’s side when he was a child, and a nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But soon, Lin Yi recalled the group of helpless poor orphans in the slums, the smile on his face froze slightly, and he put the photo frame back on the bookshelf, his eyes looked very dark.
It’s hard to imagine that a man who adopted the daughter of an old friend, opened an orphanage, won several battles for the motherland, and valued love and righteousness, kindness and kindness, and made great military exploits would be suspected of having liaison with gangsters and embezzling stolen money.
