251 Early Departure and Late Return
On the way back to meet Vinnie, Li Zijun kept struggling with the answer to this question. But until standing in front of the door of the room where he had just met Vinnie again, Li Zijun still felt confused, and he couldn't guess the true intention of Prime Minister Alec.
Li Zijun didn't want Winnie to see his current expression, so he quickly adjusted his state, and after a smile on his face, he knocked on the door gently.
"Ed, are you okay?" Winnie in the room quickly opened the door, she first glanced at Li Zijun with some concern, and then quickly avoided his gaze.
Seeing Winnie like this, Li Zijun understood that she already knew about the situation he had just suffered, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart at the speed of this news transmission!
"My father-in-law just came to me for a casual chat and exchanged fishing experiences, what will happen to me?!" Li Zijun took Winnie's hands and said with a smile.
"I heard, I heard that my father reprimanded you severely, don't you really care?" asked Winnie, looking at Li Zijun timidly.
"At the beginning, I was really uncomfortable, but then I thought that although his tone was a little harsh, what he said was the truth, and I was only left with guilt!"
"Winnie, I'm sorry! Father-in-law is right, some time ago, I was so self-conscious that I completely ignored your feelings and took care of you! Believe me, I will definitely try to correct my mistakes. In the future, you don't have to wronged yourself all the time, if something like this happens again, you must remind me and help me prevent myself from making mistakes again and again!" Li Zijun pulled Winnie to his side and said to her seriously.
"Actually, you're not wrong. It's just that I miss you so much that I become so haggard! My father is too worried about me. It's going to be like that for you, you don't blame him!"
Hear Vinnie's words. Li Zijun was so moved that he didn't care that he was still standing at the door at the moment, and hugged Winnie into his arms.
"Uncle Lyle is still here!" Winnie was in Li Zijun's arms, and was meeting Lyle's smiling gaze, she immediately thought of the messengers in the room, and was suddenly blushing with shame, and struggled to push Li Zijun away.
Li Zijun also realized that his performance was a little impulsive, and after gently letting Winnie go, he turned around and smiled awkwardly at Lyle.
Lyle vs. Winnie and White. Even more than his own children, he felt very relieved to see her so happy at the moment, and after sending blessings to the two with a smile, he turned around and left.
At this time, the maids in the room also ran out in a funny way, but when they passed by Li Zijun and Winnie, they didn't forget to laugh at Winnie fiercely, making the shy Winnie dare not even raise her head.
"It's all you, it's all you!" they really laughed this time!" when there were only two people left in the room. Winnie 'smacked' Li Zijun with a powder punch.
"How did I know there were so many people hidden in your room?!" Li Zijun gently grabbed Winnie's hands, and pulled her into his arms, pretending to be confused.
"Isn't there Uncle Lyle?"
"Uncle Lyle is our elder, and he definitely understands my impulses. He won't say anything?"
"Shameless!"
"For your sake, I can do nothing!"
said it righteously and awe-inspiringly, but it was a mess! Li Zijun's next move. Let Winnie gasp.
"Bad thing! I see you're getting worse!" it took a long time for Winnie to break free from Li Zijun's aggression.
Look at Winnie tidying up herself. Li Zijun showed an unusually satisfied smile, complaining about Winnie. He turned a deaf ear.
"You really don't blame your father, do you?" asked Winnie worriedly again after the two calmed down.
"My father-in-law isn't really angry with me at all, otherwise, how could he let me stay for dinner? He just hopes that I can spend more time with you! This is also what I wish in my heart, and I want to blame him?!" Speaking of this, Li Zijun seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind.
"I just saw my father-in-law catch a big carp, and I thought there would be fish to eat tonight, but I didn't expect that a family member checked the fish, left a mark on the fish, and threw the fish back into the pond. It made me rejoice in vain!" Li Zijun always felt that Prime Minister Alec's performance meant something, and he hoped to get some useful information from Vinnie.
"Bad thing! If you want to eat fish, you can say it clearly, you can't go around in such a big circle and tell me 'you want to eat fish', how can the huge prime minister not lack your big male fish to eat!" Winnie said with a blank look at Li Zijun.
"What did the family mean by doing that?"
"My father taught us that God has the virtue of a good life, and he hoped that we would always uphold this good idea. For this reason, every time he catches a fish, he will order someone to leave a mark on the fish, and only the fish with three marks on the body will be eaten!"
"So that's the case!" Hearing Winnie's explanation, Li Zijun suddenly felt a sudden realization.
It turns out that Prime Minister Alec's performance today is just to tell himself his intentions! With such a judgment, Li Zijun felt that his thinking had become clearer.
Prime Minister Alec seemed to punish himself before, allowing himself to bend over and wait for the fish to take the bait, but in fact, he wanted to emphasize this detail to himself! It is really a loss to himself for such skills, otherwise others may not be able to hold on, Li Zijun couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
And Prime Minister Alec's next accusations, on the surface, are dissatisfied with his own neglect of Winnie, but in fact, he is pointing out a way out for himself in disguise. Li Zijun was still worried that if he was half-hearted in the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' case, or if he simply didn't act, Virgil Bixia would be dissatisfied with him. But now it seems that, according to Prime Minister Alec's expectations, nothing will be beyond his bearing.
With Alec's knowledge of Virgil Bixia for so many years, he will give himself such a hint, which means that he is at least ninety percent sure of it. After figuring out the trick, the dark cloud that Li Zijun had been accumulating in his heart shook suddenly, and then slowly dispersed, and at the same time, his tense nerves were also soothed, and his smile became brighter!
In the following days, Li Zijun had to go out early and return late almost every day, and whenever he returned home, he was smiling, and occasionally hummed some special tunes, without hiding the joy in his heart!
At the beginning, seeing Li Zijun's performance, those officials of the Criminal Department thought that he had obtained some valuable information, and they were chasing the source at the moment. Even some of them believe that the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' case has reached the stage where it has come to light. For this reason, the officials of the Criminal Department have slandered Li Zijun's selfishness countless times in their hearts, resenting him for not sharing the information with them, in a vain attempt to monopolize the credit for solving the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' case.
But it didn't take long for the officials of the Criminal Department to get the news that the reason why Li Zijun was so busy was not for the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' theft case, but for a girl! Li Zijun was actually busy with that girl when they were busy with the case one by one!
Li Zijun seems to have forgotten that he still has a case to investigate, and during this time, he and Winnie have completely played with it!
Because Winnie is Alec's beloved daughter, the officials of the Criminal Department do not dare to discuss this matter lightly in the open, but this is not to say that they have no opinion on it.
Gradually, Li Zijun's rumors that he was less than a trivial, no serious, and that he might delay the investigation of the case spread far and wide. Under the influence of such rumors, the people who originally had great hopes for Li Zijun slowly lost hope, and those little nobles who were once imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department began to secretly dredge up their relationships one by one to prevent repeating the mistakes of the past and being imprisoned!
Against the backdrop of Li Zijun's performance, the fifth prince and the ninth prince, who didn't care much about facts in the past, became much more positive.
Especially the ninth prince Timothy, he not only met Li Zijun's requirements without discounting, but also personally inquired about the investigation of the case every day.
For the 'memory recovery method' first proposed by Li Zijun, the ninth prince paid a lot of attention. At this time, he was even more convinced of the feasibility of this method than Li Zijun, and it was precisely because of his intervention that the investigation on this part was not delayed. Suddenly, the ninth prince Timothy became the chief person in charge of the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' case.
Over the years, no one has seen the Ninth Prince take him so seriously, and the positive evaluation of him inside and outside the court has gradually increased.
Although there are constantly rumors of slandering Li Zijun in the capital, several major shili in the DPRK and China almost overwhelmingly believe that this is a means for him to paralyze and steal the group of 'Blood Jade Ruyi'.
The funny thing is that even the Nine Princes, who were the disseminators of the news that were unfavorable to Li Zijun, had such doubts himself! Especially when he intuitively saw the results of the 'Memory Recovery Method', he was even more convinced of his own judgment.
The fifth prince once said to Li Zijun when no one was around:
"Brother, it's almost enough!
Faced with such a reminder from the fifth prince, Li Zijun couldn't help but smile dumbly, he really didn't expect that in the minds of these people, he was still an 'acting school'!
Compared with others, the most uneasy thing about Li Zijun is Fergiel Bixia! His mood is a little conflicted, he doesn't want the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' case to make a breakthrough in Li Zijun's hands, but he also hopes that Li Zijun Zuihou can find the 'Blood Jade Ruyi'. For this reason, he has repeatedly urged Li Zijun to report the specific progress of the case, but Li Zijun always prevaricates with the rhetoric that 'an investigation is underway, and there will be a breakthrough in the near future'.
