"Don't bend over all the time to make people see bad." Seeing this, Zhang Shuo said a word, and waited until Veretta stood up to face him, and then said: "Stop your current actions and leave everything to me, do you know?" ”

Hearing this, Veretta plucked up her courage and said, "Lord Marquis, do you really want to investigate Lelouch and Zero?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Shuo couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and looked at Veretta in front of him intently. Did she know something? If that's the case, can't you keep her?

Despite her nervousness, Veretta spoke up, "My lord, someone approached me and said that you didn't want to investigate Lelouch and Zero at all, otherwise I wouldn't have acted privately. ”

"Someone looked for you?" Zhang Shuo was stunned for a moment, became serious, and asked, "Tell me who that person is." ”

"I don't know!" Veretta shook her head and said, "That guy just made a phone call. ”

"Just made a phone call?" Zhang Shuo laughed, and then sneered: "You're joking with me, aren't you?" Just a phone call from someone else, you believe the other person's words and disobey my orders. Are you calling me an idiot, or are you saying you're an idiot? ”

"The Marquis has misunderstood!" Veretta saluted, and said with horror in her eyes, "That guy seems to know what I'm thinking!" ”

"How?" Seeing that Veretta didn't look like a fake, Zhang Shuo became interested.

Settled, Veretta recalled: "That was two days ago, and as soon as I got home that night, I received a phone call. The man on the phone started when he said that the Marquis didn't want to investigate Lelouch and Zero. I don't believe it either. But when I was about to hang up, everything he said next was what I was thinking. It scared me and forced me to believe what he said. ”

Zhang Shuo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure what he said is what you have in mind?" ”

"I'm sure of that!" Veretta nodded heavily.

"Interesting!" Zhang Shuo smiled to himself. looked at Veretta and said, "Forget it, I'll spare you once this time, but you remember, it's only this time." Whether you believe what that person says or not is your business, but if you choose to continue and ruin my plans, the next time I find out, I will kill you. Think it through yourself. Veretta. Strive! As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shuo ignored Veretta and left directly, walking towards the hall.

Looking at Zhang Shuo's back, Veretta's palms were in a cold sweat, clutching her pants tangled, her eyes flickered, and she turned to leave.

Zhang Shuo, who noticed that Veretta was leaving, ignored it and walked directly towards Xia Li. He's already given Veretta a chance. If the other party doesn't know how to grasp it, then it's no wonder that he Zhang Shuo is not polite. As for the one who knew what Veretta was thinking, it was worth noting. In the dark, there are people who have the ability. The most troublesome thing is not to be.

When Zhang Shuo came to Xia Li's left again, although she and her mother were still crying, they were no longer as excited as before. Apparently we are slowly starting to accept the facts.

"Teacher, why are you here?" When I met Zhang Shuo. Xia Li wiped the tears from her face and asked with red eyes.

"Alas!" Secretly sighed. Zhang Shuo comforted: "I only found out about the accident here after seeing the news, so I came over to take a look." Xia Li, the festival mourns and changes! ”

"Daddy, he," Xia Li said, covering her face and crying again.

Zhang Shuo didn't know how to comfort him when he saw this, this was not his forte, so he had to stand aside and be silent.

Xia Li stopped crying for a while, came to her mother's side, crouched down, and leaned on her shoulder without saying a word.

"Alas! Lelouch is in trouble this time! Seeing this, Zhang Shuo shook his head and turned to leave. When he came back again, he was followed by two soldiers carrying stretchers.

"Xia Li, send your father back to the concession first." Squatting down, Zhang Shuo said beside Xia Li.

"Teacher Zhang, I'm sorry for you." Xia Li's mother came back to her senses when she heard this, and pulled Xia Li to her feet.

"You're welcome!" Shaking his head, Zhang Shuo asked the two soldiers on the side to carry the person up and walk outside.

There was already a long van waiting outside, and the two soldiers, after carrying the body to it, saluted Zhang Shuo and left. The grief-stricken mother and daughter didn't notice at all, but sat next to the corpse.

After Xia Li's mother and daughter got into the car, Zhang Shuo came to the front passenger seat and asked the driver to start the car.

When I returned to Xia Li's house in the Tokyo Concession, it was already sunset.

The grieving mother and daughter didn't know what to do at all, Zhang Shuo didn't know the specific culture, and he didn't know what the dead were going to do, so he asked a few people to help arrange everything.

It rained heavily in the concession at night, and Zhang Shuo, who was busy, waited until the busy was over and walked around the room. found Xia Li's mother in a daze looking at the wedding photos of the two in the bedroom, apparently not fully recovering from the blow; Xia Li, on the other hand, didn't know where she had gone and wasn't in the room.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Shuo didn't want to leave immediately, and after sending the invited people away, he sat in the hall and practiced his internal strength.

"Click!" I don't know how long it took, a sound woke Zhang Shuo up from his cultivation, and when he saw it, it was Xia Li who came back, and Lelouch was standing outside the door.

"Xia Li, you're back!" Zhang Shuo walked to the door.

Looking at the layout in the hall, Xia Li blushed and said ashamedly: "Teacher, I'm sorry!" ”

"Comfort your mother!" Zhang Shuo patted her on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't think too much, if you can, cry well, after all, life still has to go on." ”

"Thank you, teacher!" Xia Li's eyes were moist and condensed into tears.

"You're welcome, Lelouch and I will go back first!" Shaking his head, Zhang Shuo walked out.

"Xia Li, I'll go back first!" Lelouch, who was originally in low spirits, smiled reluctantly and turned to leave.

Closing the door, the girl looked at the coffin and the large photo in the center of the hall, covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying, and walked upstairs.

On a rainy night, Zhang Shuo and Lu Luxiu went to school in a car.

After arriving at the school, the two walked in the rainy night, and Lelouch asked aloud, "Teacher, can you tell me what's going on?" ”

"Alas!" Zhang Shuo sighed when he heard this: "Lu Luxiu, your luck is too bad this time. The torrent formed by the mountains and rocks overwhelmed a large concentration area, and Xia Li's father was one of the deaths. I went to Narita Renzan today to see the loss, but I didn't expect to meet Xia Li there, so I found out about her father. ”

"Charlie!" Lelouch was silent, not knowing how to face her in the future.

Looking at the silent Lelouxiu, Zhang Shuo continued: "Remember what I told you yesterday about your identity being suspected, right? Veretta disobeyed my orders and approached Xia Li privately. I don't know if she told Xia Li her suspicions, did Xia Li have any special reactions when you met today? ”

"A special reaction?" The picture of the two kissing in the rain appeared in Lelouxiu's mind, and he shook his head and said, "No! Although Xia Li was very sad, she did not behave abnormally. ”

"It's good if you don't have it!" Zhang Shuo nodded and said, "I have already warned Veretta, but I can't guarantee whether she will listen or not." Don't worry, in the past few days, I will secretly pay attention to Xia Li, as long as there is a stranger in contact with her, I will know. ”

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Ignoring Lu Luxiu's thanks, Zhang Shuo said seriously: "Lu Luxiu, someone is eyeing you, and you are not an ordinary person." At that moment, Zhang Shuo said Veretta's reply word for word.

"How could such a thing happen?!" Lu Luxiu's body was shocked, and his eyes were shining with cold light.

"The person behind it is afraid that it will be unfavorable to you." Zhang Shuo groaned and said, "I think it's better for me to focus on the school side recently, so that I can not only protect you, but also Nanali and C.C." Lelouch, when you go out, you have to be careful. ”

"Teacher, don't worry, I know how to do it!" Lelouch nodded solemnly.

"It's good to know! As for Xia Li's matter, I really don't know what to say, you have to resist it. Patting Lelouch on the shoulder, Zhang Shuo walked quickly towards the school, leaving room for him.

"Why is this happening?!" Lelouch clenched his hands tightly, his nails sinking into the flesh, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.

After returning to the residence, Zhang Shuo said hello to Saki Shinozaki, took a shower, and returned to the living room.

The next day, the weather was very gloomy, and Zhang Shuo, Lelouch and the student council attended the funeral of Xia Li's father.

"He is a believer in the gods of Allure and a close friend of ours. To his wife, he is an excellent husband; He is also a loving father to his children. Then pray that he will sleep in peace."

As the priest's voice fell, the man in charge of selling the soil began to bury the soil in the coffin with a shovel.

Standing outside the circle, Zhang Shuo looked at the expressionless Lelouxiu, patted him on the shoulder, and said nothing.

When the ceremony was completed and everyone left, Xia Li walked towards the group.

"That" Karene didn't dare to look at Xia Li, and said sideways, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xia Li!" ”

"It's annoying, what are you sorry for!" Xia Li smiled reluctantly in puzzlement.

"Me too, I'm sorry!" Livar walked out and bowed down to apologize: "When I was watching TV at the time of the hotel hijacking incident, I thought that the Black Knights were quite stylish, you see, even the news treated them specially, and they also posted on the message board, thinking that the Narita incident was so powerful. So, sorry! ”

"Nothing like that!" Xia Li walked over and said with a smile: "This has nothing to do with you, the hijacking incident in the hotel" (to be continued......
