Chapter 116.2: The Research Fanatic Who Lost His Child (2)
Lin Shiheng and Zhou Chuchu’s home was in a very ordinary residential building. He called ahead before coming home to avoid facing the embarrassing situation of coming home and having no one there.
After all, he hadn’t been home for over 2 months. During that time, and in keeping with state secrecy, no one was allowed to contact the outside world. Instead, everyone simply sent a message to their families, assuring them of their safety, and then buried themselves in their work.
There were five soldiers escorting him home, all solemn, with that air of having seen blood.
Although the imposing appearance was quite intimidating, the soldiers still respected the Professor who had made a great contribution to the country. The one leading them was worried that they would scare Lin Shiheng’s family by wearing military uniforms and thoughtfully asked, “Professor Lin, do you need us to change our clothes?”
“No, let’s go early, so I can go home sooner.”
How could he let them change? Lin Shiheng wanted them to follow him back in those uniforms.
He threw on a jacket of his own. It was February and it was still frighteningly cold out there. As soon as he stepped outside, there was a chill. Luckily, the military had no intention of letting him walk back, and a car pulled up at the door. A soldier in a crisp uniform pulled open the door.
“Professor Lin, please.”
Lin Shiheng obediently sat inside and watched the car drive all the way to his home.
