Chapter Twenty-Five: Her Family

A steady stream of vehicles stretches the avenue, with no end in sight. On either side of the road are buildings that are almost towering into the sky. I don't know how long it took, but the sun gradually disappeared over the complex. At that time, looking at Qingyu from afar, I saw sparse stars blinking, and a scimitar-like moon was suspended in the sky.

Zuo Zheng, who was sitting in the cab, looked at the congested vehicles, a look of uneasiness appeared on his face, his index finger gently slapped the steering wheel, looking very anxious, where did this panic come from, as if there was a stone hanging in his heart, he always felt uncomfortable.

When the darkness gradually spread into the distance and the chill appeared on the ground, the congested vehicles gradually loosened, and after a while, the vehicles finally broke free and ran briskly.

Zuo Zheng looked at his phone, it was seven o'clock in the evening, and at this rate, there should be twenty minutes to get to Wang Liya's home.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Twenty minutes passed quietly.

Zuo Zheng parked the car on the side of the road, and after making sure that he would not be ticketed, he got out of the car, thought about it, and bought some fruits and bento boxes at the convenience store.

"I don't know if they've eaten." Zuo Zheng walked to the community, and after some searching, he finally determined the building and arrived in the elevator.

"It should be here, twelfth floor, 305." Zuo Zheng looked at the message left by Wang Liya, and after confirming that it was correct, he stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.

"No one?" Seeing that there was no movement, Zuo Zheng's brows furrowed, and the knock on the door became more severe.

For some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy.

After a while, the door opened gently, and what appeared in front of Zuo Zheng's eyes was a girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, but this girl didn't look happy, her eyes were a little bloodshot, as if she had cried, and her hair was messy, which was different from the beauty seen in the photo, her eyes were no longer clear, they became dark, and the whole person was hit by something, a little decadent, and a beauty that was almost sad.

"May I ask if it's Wang Lina?" Sensing that something was wrong with the other party, Zuo Zheng said cautiously.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent. I saw Wang Lina with red eyes, pursed her lips, and said nothing, like a bullied child, standing pitifully in front of him.

"May I ask if you are Wang Lina?" Zuo Zheng's brows furrowed, judging from the information left by Wang Liya before, the other party should be her daughter, but he asked a few words in a row, but the girl in front of him never spoke.

After being silent for a while, Wang Lina slowly spoke: "Are you also here to collect debts?" ”

"Debt collection?" Zuo Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what Wang Liya had told him, her family seemed to owe money to others.

"It's not." Zuo Zheng shook his head and said, "I was entrusted by your mother to come to you." ”

"Mom!?"

Wang Lina seemed to have heard something unbelievable, her eyes widened, she grabbed Zuo Zheng's sleeve steeply, and said loudly: "Do you know where my mother is?!" ”

Zuo Zheng pursed his lips and didn't know how to speak for a while.

The other party suddenly cried, obviously seeing what Zuo Zheng meant, and if he didn't reply, it was the best reply.

"I'm sorry. Your mother..."Speaking of this, Zuo Zheng was silent, because he really didn't know how to say this kind of thing.

He deeply understands this feeling of losing his loved ones, and his parents died of cancer one after another.

Wow...

"Sister, if you let me out, are those people bullying you again!"

Suddenly, a cry came from the room, as if it was because of Wang Lina's crying, which affected the person inside. It sounded very childish, like that of a boy of six or seven years old. Zuo Zheng looked at the place where the voice came from.

That should be Wang Liya's son, Wang Hong. I don't know why the other party said that, did someone come and bully them before?

Zuo Zheng quickly thought of this, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious.

"What's going on?" Zuo Zheng frowned.

Wang Lina shook her head and did not speak.

"Tell me how I might be able to help you."

"Big brother, thank you for your kindness, but don't bother you." Wang Lina said in a low voice.

Zuo Zheng took a deep breath, he naturally knew that the other party was afraid of getting him involved in some kind of turmoil, so he said this, but now he is not the sick couch he used to be, whether it is his mutation ability or the gun that Deputy Liu gave him, this is the confidence that he can deal with things.

"Can I go in and sit down?" Zuo Zheng did not continue to ask, because in this case, everyone was not very familiar, and it was impossible for Wang Lina to tell him everything as soon as she met him, so Zuo Zheng decided to ease the relationship between them first.

Wang Lina nodded and said, "Yes." Can you tell me about Mom? ”

Her misty eyes looked at Zuo Zheng, and her expression was serious.

Faced with this sincere gaze, Zuo Zheng couldn't avoid it, and finally nodded.

Under the traction of Wang Lina, Zuo Zheng followed her to the living room.

The room doesn't look big, it's only seventy or eighty square meters, and the furniture is relatively simple, but Zuo Zheng doesn't think that this family lives in poverty, after all, people who can buy a house in a world-class city like Zhou City will not have any worse financial resources.

"Sit down and drink a glass of water first." Wang Lina took a glass of warm water.

"Okay, thank you." Zuo Zheng took it and took a sip of water, he was in a hurry all the way, he almost didn't drink water, and he was indeed quite thirsty.

"Why are your hands red?" When Wang Lina handed over the water glass, Zuo Zheng found that the other party's wrist exposed from the sleeve seemed to have been grabbed by something, it was red, and even there were blood marks on the skin.

"Nothing." Wang Lina looked startled, hurriedly pulled up the cuffs, and put her hands behind her back, as if she was hiding something.

Zuo Zheng's eyes condensed, and he looked at the girl in front of him seriously, she was very delicate, but this was not the point, I saw Wang Lina's lower jaw, and there was a kind of red that was bruised by the impact.

Coupled with the scar on his hand, as well as some of the girl's movements, Zuo Zheng thought of something, his face gradually sank, put the water glass on the table, and stood up steeply.

"Did someone bully you?" Zuo Zheng showed an extremely rare serious look.

Wang Lina lowered her head, the white face turned to other places, and her eyes did not dare to look at Zuo Zheng.

"Sister, let me out, are they bullying you again!"

The boy's voice sounded again, and Zuo Zheng didn't care about Wang Lina's opinion, so he walked directly to the room where the voice came from and opened the door.

"Big bad!"

What appeared in front of Zuo Zheng was an immature boy, at this time he was puffed up, and after seeing Zuo Zheng, he clenched his fists, waved his fists, and hit him.
