Chapter 124: Will it be my turn next?
"Why do you listen to me in everything? If I ask you to do something bad or something you don't like, will you do it?" Gu Xiaoqi stopped and looked into Lu Jingze's eyes seriously.
"Why would you make me do something I don't like or don't want to do for no reason? If you made me do it, then you have your reasons!"
Lu Jingze's tone was full of trust and doting, and his eyes revealed seriousness.
Gu Xiaoqi felt a sense of warmth in the snow-filled surroundings.
Lu Jingze continued, "Besides, I feel like you don't need me sometimes, and you seem to be able to do everything by yourself. This makes me feel a little distressed and annoyed. Xiaoqi, you can rely on me!"
After learning about her life experience, Gu Xiaoqi felt empty in her heart. When Lu Jingze said this, her eyes became red.
She was just controlled by some indescribable emotions, perhaps because she felt too insecure!
"Okay, then you have to protect me~!" Gu Xiaoqi held back her tears and showed this side of herself to Lu Jingze for the first time.
Lu Jingze saw Gu Xiaoqi's aggrieved look, and he didn't know what had happened to Xiaoqi today that made her so depressed.
He couldn't help but hold Gu Xiaoqi's hand and put it in her big hands.
Gu Xiaoqi did not refuse, and let Lu Jingze's warm big hand cover her hand and they walked forward together.
Is this what it feels like to favor someone?
She thought, if only these hands could keep her warm forever!
Lu Jingze, please don't let me down!
When the two of them returned to the Zhou family hand in hand, it was not yet time for dinner. When they walked into the hall, the old man of the Zhou family, Zhou Zinan, and Wu Xiuli were all talking in the living room.
Seeing Lu Jingze and Gu Xiaoqi, everyone stopped and Mr. Zhou looked very happy.
"Xiao Qi, you are finally back. I have never seen Jingze care so much about anyone. You are the only one. You don't know that Lu Jingze is an iron lump in the army. He is unkind and inhuman. If the soldiers in the army saw this, they would think they saw a ghost!"
Zhou Zhenhua thought about those people in the army, especially Long Aotian, who would be shocked when he saw Lu Jingze's worthless appearance.
Gu Xiaoqi: ...a lump of iron?
This is clearly a sticky lump!
"Grandpa Zhou, why do I feel that the Lu Jingze you are talking about is different from the Lu Jingze I know!"
Gu Xiaoqi's puzzled look made the others laugh.
Zhou Zhenhua laughed loudly and said, "That's just treating people differently. You don't know, this guy only knows how to do his job in the army, or he's just doing drills. He's like an ice cube, no one dares to mess with him! Long Aotian and I are worried about his personal life. We once thought that this guy might be single. Don't be fooled by his good looks, he's really a fool when it comes to dating!"
As he spoke, Zhou Zhenhua became more talkative. He looked at Gu Xiaoqi again and said, "But I really didn't realize that this kid would be amazing if he didn't make a name for himself. It seems that those who introduced him to me before didn't like him!"
When Gu Xiaoqi heard this, this happened before!
He immediately sat down next to Zhou Zhenhua and said anxiously, "Grandpa Zhou, has Lu Jingze always been introduced to someone before? Can you tell me about it? I want to know more about it!"
Zhou Zhenhua: ………
Zhou Zhenhua looked towards Lu Jingze with a terrible look, only to see that Lu Jingze had a very dark face and was looking at Zhou Zhenhua resentfully.
Zhou Zhenhua touched his beard and realized that he had talked a lot today!
Zhou Zinan and Wu Xiuli looked like they were just watching the fun, and no one stepped forward to help Zhou Zhenhua.
Zhou Zhenhua was so angry that he glared at the two of them.
"Jingle Bell"
Just then the doorbell rang. Zhou Zhenhua seemed to have found an excuse and quickly changed the topic.
"Who's here so late?"
The nanny came in and said to Zhou Zhenhua, "Grandpa, it's Lin Huaiyang. He said there's something important! I saw a lot of police officers outside the Lin family..."
Mr. Zhou frowned and his expression instantly changed from being amiable to being cold.
This Lin Huaiyang is too cunning and ambitious!
Neighbors have been taking care of each other for so many years, but in the past few days, they have been causing trouble endlessly.
He relies on Xu Jinan's status as his son-in-law! He always comes to him, but he is not his father!
Every time I call on Lin Huaiyang, it seems like he doesn't understand. It seems that I am not being straightforward enough!
Zhou Zhenhua thought it was no big deal if he didn’t understand!
"Come on, let's go out and take a look!"
Zhou Zhenhua wanted to see what trouble would arise after calling the police. He was also afraid that Lin Huaiyang would use him as an excuse to interfere and seek asylum!
Several people walked towards the door, and Gu Xiaoqi and Lu Jingze followed behind.
When Lin Huaiyang saw Zhou Zhenhua coming out, he felt like he had seen a savior!
"Uncle Zhou, Zhimei is in trouble!" Lin Huaiyang was very panicked at this time.
With their family's status, being able to kidnap Zhimei and injure her like that is something not everyone would dare to do!
First it was Zhenzhen, now it’s Zhimei!
Lin Huaiyang was afraid that he would be the next one!
"Uncle Zhou, Zhimei was found in a house near the compound. She was naked, her hair was shaved, and her hands were broken. Because she was found too late, she may not be able to be reattached. We don't know who the Lin family offended. Accidents keep happening one after another. Uncle Zhou, you must help me this time! A passerby called the police. I think we can't make this matter public. What if we anger the person behind it..."
Lin Huaiyang still wanted Zhou Zhenhua's help to suppress the matter. He was afraid that the person behind the scenes would spread the secrets about their family in anger.
Moreover, only a high-ranking person like Zhou Zhenhua can control the people behind him and make them a little wary.
Zhou Zhenhua was also very surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect such a big thing to happen to the Lin family.
But Zhou Zhenhua was once the chief, so there was not much ripple in his heart. Although he had abdicated, Zhou Zhenhua's aura still made the people around him feel suffocated.
Lin Huaiyang was so afraid that he ignored the harm done to his daughter and daughter-in-law. Zhou Zhenhua despised him even more!
Asking him to help such a person was not what Zhou Zhenhua wanted to do. He looked directly at Zhou Zinan and said, "Hurry up and call your Uncle Xu!"
Gu Xiaoqi pricked up his ears and listened.
Uncle Xu? Is that Xu Jinan?
When Zhou Zinan heard Zhou Zhenhua's instructions, he quickly ran back to the house and called Xu Jinan.
"Lin Huaiyang, you have to trust the Chinese police. They will definitely help you find the murderer who hurt Zhimei and Lin Zhenzhen. I may not be able to help you much, so the most definite approach is for you to actively cooperate with the police!"
