Chapter 221: Reminiscences
I looked at him obliquely, a little funny. My sister sometimes makes shocking moves. Lu Zenghan shook his head helplessly: "I can't describe it, anyway, it scared me enough." I'm still wondering where this woman came from, Uncle Zhao usually doesn't bring women here. Later, I hurriedly called to confirm, and after listening to Uncle Zhao's tone, I had a different relationship with him, so I left first. This is the first time we met, and I was almost molested by that wild sister of yours. โ
I pursed my lips and chuckled, "Almost?" Or already? โ
Lu Zenghan twisted my face and said with a smile: "Not honest." Is there a daughter-in-law like you? Just know to make fun of me. As bad as your sister. She is obviously bad, and you are bad. After a pause, Lu Zenghan continued to fall into the meeting, "But the first time we met, I didn't have a good impression, and I felt that she was the kind of woman with an improper profession." Soon it was forgotten. โ
"What about the second meeting?" I wondered.
Lu Zenghan looked out the window and continued to recall: "The second time we met, it was also very hasty. That time there happened to be a mission near Nancheng, so I came back to see Uncle Zhao by the way. At that time, her identity was already Uncle Zhao's woman. I don't understand how Uncle Zhao can be such a woman by his side. Uncle Zhao has not been very interested in women since the accident in the family, even if there are women, they should have another temperament, such as intellectuality and gentleness. I really don't understand. โ
Such a woman? I felt a little awkward and uncomfortable. My sister is such a proud person, but for the sake of life, in order to find out the truth, she disguised herself as a "woman like this" in other people's mouths and let others despise her.
Lu Zenghan saw that I was unhappy, squeezed my hand tightly into his palm, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Qiaoqiao, I didn't know who she was at that time. I had a meal with them that day, and I was about to fly back to Beijing. Uncle Zhao still had something to do, so he asked Keyi to send me to the airport. Along the way, she was not as bold as the first time, very quiet, and the song "How Precious Tonight" was played in the car. โ
I smiled faintly, it was my sister's favorite song. She sings very well.
"It's not polite to be quiet all the time, and I casually asked her why she likes such old songs. She laughed and said that she not only likes old songs, but also old people. Lu Zenghan hooked his lips and shook his head, "She, she always likes to give herself an unobtrusive pretense when she talks and acts." โ
"The old person she said, does she mean Zhao Lichuan?" I asked. Zhao Lichuan should be at least ten years older than his sister, or even twenty years older.
Lu Zenghan smiled a little sadly: "Yes." But when I heard this, I was a little disgusted. There is no one else here, why do you need to act, why do these women gather around Uncle Zhao for what do they need to cover up? Who would love someone who is older? Besides money, power, what's so cute? I scolded her, you don't have to act in front of me, I won't convey your flattery to Uncle Zhao. โ
His words were hurtful, and I couldn't help but glare at him fiercely. Lu Zenghan smiled apologetically at me: "I'm sorry, I did have an opinion about her at the time." But after I finished saying that, she didn't get angry, just smiled and said to me, do you know why Zhao Lichuan is with me? I said I didn't know, and I didn't want to know. She continued to say as if she hadn't heard it, Zhao Lichuan was just using me and Zou Shizhao to break up, and I was going to kick me when I was done, what do you say I should do? โ
My sister was so embarrassed by this question, I couldn't help asking, "How do you answer?" โ
Lu Zenghan hooked his lips and said, "I don't know." In front of her, I dare not answer casually, lest I let her calculate again. She said, "I'm going to have to find a way to stay with him." It just so happened that when I went out with him, I met someone in an alley who wanted to hit him, so I jumped up and beat him a few times, and broke a rib, but my position was kept, you say, is it luck? โ
I was stunned, a broken rib? I can't help but think of Zou Shizhao's words, once in the coffee shop of Zijinyuan Building, he told me that he was in the alley opposite and broke one of Lan Ke's ribs. I shuddered and asked, "Is it Zou Shizhao's hand?" โ
Lu Zenghan nodded: "Later, I asked Uncle Zhao and knew that it was." But I didn't answer at the time, and Keyi's words made my heart sad a little. Although I have some misunderstandings about her, after all, she is a woman, and someone broke a rib to stay with Uncle Zhao at the price, I still sympathize with her and feel compassion. โ
But at this moment, she suddenly laughed and said to me, do you sympathize with me? Listening to her tone, I knew that it wouldn't be so simple, so I waited quietly for her next step, and sure enough, she said to me coldly, in fact, the person who beat Zhao Lichuan was sent by me, and I originally wanted to mean it, show my affection for Zhao Lichuan, and let him keep me by his side, but who knows that people are not as good as heaven, and the people I sent have not yet made a move, and they were cut off by another team of people who wanted to kill him, but I thought I was the one I was looking for, and I broke a rib in vain. If I had known that those people were not what I was looking for, I might not have had the courage to rush forward. Lu Zenghan sighed.
I am another cold war, how ruthless my sister is to herself, I looked at Lu Zenghan and said, "How did you feel at that time?" โ
"What does it feelโ" Lu Zenghan said quietly, "goosebumps are up." I've never seen a woman who could be so cruel to herself. At that time, I asked her, what are you trying to do with Uncle Zhao? Why go out of your way to stay with him? Ke Yi smiled faintly and said to me, you are Zhao Lichuan's most trusted person and the closest person, what I just said to you was never said to Zhao Lichuan, and he still thought that I was going to protect him. I asked her, then why are you telling me? She said, "It's nothing, just to see if you're going to tell him about it." After she said this, she happened to be at the airport, and she didn't say anything more, so I got out of the car and left. โ
"Why would my sister do this?" I don't understand.
Lu Zenghan sighed and said: "Actually, she is a very clever person who is good at playing with mental arts, in this regard, you are all very talented, but you use this talent in the professional field, and she uses it in the application field." I didn't understand it at the time, and I was vaguely uneasy even after I separated from her. I really want to tell Uncle Zhao what she said, but I think she dared to tell me that she must be prepared, and I told Uncle Zhao so boldly, maybe he won't believe it, maybe there will be other unexpected consequences. So I didn't act immediately, and after I went back, I started to check on your sister, trying to find out why she was so painstakingly slapping Uncle Zhao. โ
"The process of investigation was not smooth, and I had to ask around for a lot of things and go through old files. Three months later, I finally understood your father's case, in the 822 case, your father was an undercover agent, and Uncle Zhao was the first batch of police officers sent to trade, and I roughly understood what she wanted to do. I have a different feeling about her, it turns out that she has a hard time, and she is not so vain and superficial as she seems on the surface. Lu Zenghan's eyes were a little melancholy, "If I could have communicated with her well at that time, maybe things wouldn't have led to the later results." โ
"What did you think at the time?" I asked by biting my lip.
"I was just thinking about it from Uncle Zhao's point of view, and I felt that since she was close to Uncle Zhao, there should be only two purposes, either to find out the truth of the 822 case that year, or to take revenge. But if you take revenge, you can't get revenge on Uncle Zhao, at most you can find the truth behind the scenes through Uncle Zhao. So I put my mind at ease and didn't dig deeper. Lu Zenghan replied.
"Then did you talk to Zhao Lichuan?" I asked.
"Nope." Lu Zenghan shook his head.
"Why?" I continued to ask.
"I can't tell." Lu Zenghan pondered, "I just think that since Uncle Zhao is not in danger, why should I be like an eighth woman to sow discord in the middle." And since then, my opinion of Keyi has changed, maybe subconsciously, I hope she can get her wish. I didn't pierce her. โ
"I think my sister might be testing you." I thought for a moment and said, "You're in the ministry, it should be easier and more convenient to inquire about some things, and if you're a trustworthy person, she wants you to be able to help." My sister has already paid so much to find out the truth, of course, she will catch it if she has a little hope. โ
"Maybe. But I didn't think much about it at the time. Lu Zenghan continued, "Later, it was the third time we met, and the third time we got along for a few days. โ
Recalling the third meeting, Lu Zenghan's face was slightly melancholy and painful: "At that time, the relationship between Uncle Zhao and Zou Shizhao and Tan Enming should have deteriorated to the extreme, but I didn't notice it too much. I was on a mission in the ministry at the time, and I was injured a little, and the ministry gave me a month of sick leave. Uncle Zhao asked me to come to Nancheng to rest for a while. At that time, goodbye Ke Yi and Uncle Zhao, their relationship should already be very good. Between each other's eyebrows, you can see affection. I'm also glad that I didn't expose Keyi at the beginning, and I'm also happy that Uncle Zhao can find happiness.
One day, Uncle Zhao took Keyi and me to an uninhabited island for a vacation, and just got on the island to set up a barbecue grill, Uncle Zhao received a task to go back to Nancheng to deal with an urgent matter. Originally, I said that I would go back, but he was afraid that we would ruin our fun, so he asked us to play on the island first and then come back, and left the boat to us. As a result, when he went back, it suddenly rained heavily, and without any warning, it suddenly became dark. We found a cave to take shelter from the rain, but the rain didn't stop until the evening, the boat broke down inexplicably, and the mobile phone had no signal on the island. I told Ke Yi that I had to spend the night on the island, and when the rain stopped, I would repair the boat before leaving. Ke Yi said firmly, Uncle Zhao will definitely come to pick us up. I thought she was a little girl after all, Uncle Zhao's affairs couldn't be dealt with in two days, how could he have time to pick us up, not to mention that with me, he wouldn't worry about safety. I bet with her, and she was still pretty sure he would come. As a result, at about ten o'clock in the evening, Uncle Zhao really came in person. โ
