Following the footsteps of Zhou Jun and Song Ge, Ling Chen and the three of them went straight back to the room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhou Qi sitting on a chair, his face gloomy, his fists clenched, and the green tendons on his forehead loomed. Obviously, what had just happened made him angry. At this moment, he was trying his best to suppress his anger and not let himself explode.

Seeing the angry appearance of his old man, Zhou Jun hesitated for a moment, then walked up to Zhou Qi, lowered his head and said, "Grandpa, I'm ...... I'm sorry for you. ”

Zhou Qi looked up at his grandson, took a deep breath, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. After a while, he sighed lightly, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, I know that you were framed this time." Besides, everything has already happened, and it's useless to blame you, let's think about how to get through this difficulty. ”

"Old Zhou, who do you think will frame Zhou Jun behind his back?" Song Ge asked.

"How do I know, I have been in Tianji Pavilion for so many years, diligent, hard-working, and never make enemies with others, I can't think of anyone who will target me. Speaking of this, Zhou Qi glanced at Zhou Jun and said, "This incident should have something to do with you, depending on who you offended and provoked other people's revenge." ”

"Tong Nan!" Ling Chen said in a deep voice, "It must be him." This morning, we had a conflict with Tong Nan, and he must have taken the opportunity to take revenge. Moreover, that Zhu Ying had been with Tong Nan for a period of time, and with the relationship between the two of them, it was likely that Tong Nan secretly instructed Zhu Ying to frame Zhou Jun. ”

After a pause, Ling Chen continued: "Tong Nan is a very cautious person, if he goes directly to him, he will definitely push this matter away, plus we have no evidence, we can't help him." However, we can start with Zhu Ying. Anyway, she is a woman after all, as long as we use some means, we are not afraid that she will not say it. ”

Zhou Qi waved his hand and said, "You all think things are too simple. Now that we are talking, Zhu Ying must have gone to the pavilion master to complain. Even if the pavilion master believed us, so many people saw Zhou Jun appear in Zhu Ying's room, and ...... The most important point is that Zhou Jun did have a relationship with that woman. With this relationship, no matter how Zhou Jun argues, it is useless. ”

"This ......"

Ling Chen and Song Ge glanced at Zhou Jun, and suddenly lost their words, not knowing what to say.

When they saw Zhu Ying before, the other party was not only dressed in embarrassment, but also had traces of being torn apart. Moreover, the sharp-eyed Ling Chen also noticed that Zhu Ying had a lot of bruises on her body, and these evidences were enough to prove that Zhu Ying's body was forcibly violated, not voluntary. Therefore, based on this alone, as long as Zhu Ying insisted that Zhou Jun forcibly violated him, Zhou Jun was speechless.

Thinking of this, Ling Chen couldn't help but sigh. Zhou Qi is right, this matter is really not easy to do.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.

Song Ge got up and opened the door, only to see a Tianji Pavilion disciple standing outside the door, hugging his fists towards Zhou Qi, and said, "Old Zhou, the pavilion master asks you to go with Zhou Jun." ”

"I see, you go down first. Zhou Qi waved the other party away, then got up and said, "Let's go, the time will come sooner or later, we can't escape." ”

Ling Chen opened his mouth and asked, "Old Zhou, do you want us to go with you?"

"No, this is our own family's business, you don't have to interfere. Besides, things have come to this point, even if there are more people, it is useless. With that, Zhou Qi straightened the corners of his clothes, and then strode out.

Watching Zhou Qi leave, Ling Chen patted Zhou Jun on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, no matter what the result is, we will support you behind you." ”

Zhou Jun nodded, didn't say a word, followed Zhou Qi's steps, and left the room together.

"Alas!" Seeing off Zhou Qi and Zhou Jun, Song Ge sighed helplessly and said, "I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen." Tong Nan was too ruthless in doing things, as a disciple of the Heart Cultivation Pavilion, he actually designed to frame his own people. ”

Ling Chen frowned and said, "Don't think about it so much, Old Zhou has worked in Tianji Pavilion for many years, and he has no credit and hard work, I believe that Miss Su will not miss the old feelings." It's useless for us to say anything now, let's wait for the result with peace of mind. ”

At this time, it was already two o'clock in the morning, and tomorrow I would go to the Yangxin Pavilion to participate in the grand event. He should have taken a good rest and recuperated his energy, but what was happening now made Ling Chen have no heart to think about anything else.

After half an hour, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Ling Chen hurriedly opened the door. As expected, it was Zhou Qi and Zhou Jun who came back.

"Old Zhou, what's the result?" Ling Chen and Song Ge asked impatiently.

Zhou Jun lowered his head and walked into the room without saying a word, and then sat down on the chair alone, his face full of loss and remorse.

Zhou Qi sighed lightly and said, "For the sake of me serving Tianji Pavilion for many years, I don't plan to investigate Zhou Jun's fault, as for Zhu Ying's side...... The pavilion master will find a way to appease and give a certain amount of compensation. ”

Hearing this, Ling Chen and Song Ge breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was okay.

"Alright, don't sit still, go back and pack your things. Zhou Qi looked at Zhou Jun and said.

"Pack up your things?" Song Ge asked suspiciously, "Old Zhou, what are you doing packing up?"

Zhou Qi said lightly: "I have already asked the pavilion master to resign just now, and I will leave Tianji Pavilion early tomorrow morning, and we will have nothing to do with Tianji Pavilion in the future." ”

"What?"

Ling Chen was taken aback and asked, "Old Zhou, didn't you just say that the pavilion master wouldn't pursue it, how can you ......?"

"The pavilion master will not pursue it, but after this matter spreads, how can our grandson still have the face to stay in Tianji Pavilion, and this is the best choice. While this matter has not yet fermented, deal with it quickly, so as not to make it difficult for the cabinet master to do it. After a pause, Zhou Qi glanced at Ling Chen and Song Ge and said, "Don't be upset for us, this is already the best result." Zhou Jun has friends like you, which can be regarded as his blessing. Besides, we just quit the Tianji Pavilion and lived like outside, without so many rules and restrictions, it was much easier. ”

Although Zhou Qi said lightly, Ling Chen could feel the helplessness and reluctance in Zhou Qi's words. He knew in his heart that Zhou Qi had stayed in Tianji Pavilion for decades, and had dedicated almost his whole life to Tianji Pavilion, and for Zhou Qi, Tianji Pavilion was his home. Now that such a thing has happened, he must be uncomfortable in his heart.

"Zhou Jun, let's go. ”

Zhou Jun nodded, got up and looked at Ling Chen and Song Ge, a smile forced out of his handsome face, and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine." Ling Chen, if I go to Donghai City in the future, I don't have to disturb you, and you will have to entertain me well when the time comes. ”
