Engage in Love - C153
“Ah Zun?” Zhou Yuanzun did not utter a word for a long while, so he could only call out to his.
Zhou Yuanzun’s pupils contracted, and his face revealed a fierce expression: “I won’t let them succeed.”
“Do you have any plans?” Duan Ruinian asked in concern.
“When the time comes, just wait by the river. Don’t go onto the bridge.” Zhou Yuanzun said calmly.
Duan Ruinian revealed an expression of disapproval, “No, Zhou Dewen will definitely bring some people over. If you keep your promise alone, even if we were to encounter any danger, we wouldn’t be able to save you in time under the bridge.”
“He doesn’t dare to do anything to me. Just do as I say and send someone to wait by the river under the bridge.” Zhou Yuanzun’s tone already carried an intent that could not be refused.
“Alright.” Duan Ruinian could only agree as he looked at him with a complicated expression. Although he didn’t know what exactly his goal was, he knew that what he had to do was definitely something extremely risky.
Things were going as he had planned, but why was his heart in such pain?
Zhou Yuanzun drove the entire way back home, and throughout the journey, he was like a machine, with no feelings whatsoever.
When he walked to the door and looked at the familiar place, he seemed to see Ah Yin. Ah Yin liked to study in this courtyard the most, and sometimes, when he was home late, Ah Yin would also be waiting for him here, then look at him with a slight smile on his face. said to him coolly, “You’re back.”
However, it was already impossible for him to see such a scene again. All of this had been personally destroyed by him.
Zhou Yuanzun’s heart was already in turmoil, and he almost couldn’t hold back his tears from falling down.
“Little Zun.” A familiar shout pulled him out of his emotions.
Zhou Yuanzun suddenly looked towards the living room, only to see that Zhou Shunlin, who was originally outside the country, had appeared in front of him.
Zhou Yuanzun’s fingernails were already deeply embedded into the flesh, and it had only been a short while, but he had already restrained his emotions without revealing anything, as he leisurely walked over.
“Uncle.” Zhou Yuanzun respectfully said.
“We haven’t seen each other for a while. I heard that you’ve been injured recently. How’s your body recovering?” Zhou Shunlin asked, pretending to be concerned.
“It’s almost done.”
“That’s for the best. Zhou’s can’t do without you.” Zhou Shunlin stared at him while smiling, his expression already showing that he was sizing him up.
Zhou Yuanzun replied without revealing any trace, “As a member of the Zhou Family, I will naturally do everything in my power for Zhou’s.”
“I’m not worried about that.” Zhou Shunlin intentionally put on a casual tone: “I heard from Nian’er that you had already taken care of Wei Zhenyin?”
The depths of Zhou Yuanzun’s eyes suddenly deepened, but it was only for an instant, and had already returned to normal. “Mn, I had long since discovered her, and originally wanted to use her to find out the movements of the police, but since she has already grasped the evidence, I can’t let her be.”
“After all, you two have been husband and wife for such a long time. I never expected that you would be so ruthless.” Zhou Shunlin’s eyes were staring at him, as if he was trying to discover something.
Zhou Yuanzun met his gaze without batting an eyelid: “A young girl’s love is nothing in the face of the clan’s interests. Moreover, we were originally only married in the first place, we do not have any feelings for each other.”
“Oh, is that really the case?” Zhou Shunlin dragged his tone: “From what I know, your injury this time has something to do with her?”
“From the beginning to the end, she and I have only been playing on the spot. The reason why we were injured is only to gain her trust.” Zhou Yuanzun said coldly.
Zhou Shunlin nodded his head in satisfaction: “To be so heartless is not easy. It seems like I have heard from others that your previous 100 ways of protecting her was all fake?”
“Of course it’s fake.”
Just as Zhou Shunlin was about to confirm his suspicions, he saw an unexpected person walking over.
His big brother was also Zhou Yuanzun’s father, Zhou Zhengguang.
As a lieutenant general, Zhou Zhengguang was pretty much always in the army, and it was rare for him to leave the army like this. Furthermore, their relationship was not very good, so undoubtedly, it was very surprising for him to be here right now.
“Big brother, why are you back?” Zhou Shunlin narrowed his eyes and probed.
Zhou Zhengguang was wearing a military uniform and had been in the army for a long time.
“The troops are on leave, I haven’t come back for a long time, so I’ll take this opportunity to come back and take a look.” Zhou Zhengguang said in a serious tone.
“Has big brother returned to his old home?” Zhou Shunlin naturally opened his mouth, but the depths of his eyes revealed a trace of undetectable sinister viciousness.
Zhou Zhengguang glanced at Zhou Yuanzun, who was at the side, and turned his head around to answer: “No, I came here precisely to let Little Zun go back with me.”
Zhou Shunlin laughed awkwardly: “Oh, if that’s the case, father will definitely be very happy.”
“I heard you questioning me just now?” Zhou Zhengguang suddenly said in a deep voice.
Zhou Shunlin’s face stiffened: “How could that be, big brother must have heard wrong.”
“I also heard from the secretary about the woman that Little Zun married. You suspect that I’m in cahoots with that woman?” Zhou Zhengguang said with an imposing manner.
Zhou Shunlin chuckled, and said with a relaxed tone: “How could that be? I only wanted to understand the situation, after all, this is a huge matter that concerns our Zhou’s.”
“I don’t care about anything else, but don’t forget that I am the CEO of the Zhou’s. If you do not trust him, then you should take this right back as soon as possible.” Zhou Zhengguang said in a stern voice.
Zhou Shunlin’s face turned green for a moment, it was rare for Zhou Zhengguang to say such words, it seemed like he did not care about his son, although he did not take the father and son duo seriously, they were still of use to him now.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Shunlin immediately changed into an amiable expression: “Big Brother, what are you talking about? This noble one is the only bloodline of our Zhou Family, the Zhou’s is naturally his. I only felt that he was still young and had some things to teach us, thus I asked for a while.”
“Have you asked enough now?” Zhou Zhengguang seemed to be a little angry, as if he was extremely unwilling to see this little brother of his.
Seeing his expression, Zhou Shunlin smiled thoughtfully: “Since Big Brother managed to return with great difficulty, then I won’t disturb the reunion of you two.”
Zhou Shunlin quickly left, and for a moment, only the father and son were left in the living room.
Zhou Zhengguang looked at Zhou Yuanzun with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to say something. But after a long while, he was still unable to speak.
“Why did you come back?” Zhou Yuanzun indifferently broke the eerie silence.
Zhou Zhengguang frowned: “I heard that you and Shunlin had some arguments recently, so I took a leave of absence to come back.”
“When were you so concerned about me?” Zhou Yuanzun sarcastically said.
Zhou Zhengguang said guiltily: “The troops have been busy lately, I can’t let them go.”
“Can’t break away or run away?” Zhou Yuanzun ridiculed: “Didn’t you always not want to face the matters of the Zhou’s?”
A strange expression flashed across Zhou Zhengguang’s face: “There are some things that I’m not clear about yet, but it’s true that I can’t interfere in the matters regarding the Zhou’s right now.”
“Are you afraid that meddling in this matter will affect your status, or are you going to turn a blind eye to this matter?” Zhou Yuanzun fought with both of his hands.
Zhou Zhengguang was silent for a moment, then said: “Enough, I don’t want to talk about this anymore. Come with me to the old dwelling now, we’ll first go see your grandfather.”
Zhou Yuanzun could not help but sneer. This was his father, an upright and determined man on the surface, but in reality, he was just a timid person.
Furthermore, Zhou Zhengguang seemed to have a sense of fear toward Zhou Shunlin. Although he did not express it normally, he could faintly feel it between the two of them.
“Little Zun, there are a lot of things that you still don’t understand. You just need to stay in the Zhou’s. As for other things, don’t ask too much.” Seeing his mocking expression, Zhou Zhengguang couldn’t help but lower his voice and speak helplessly.
Zhou Yuanzun lowered his eyes, turned around, and did not look at him again.
The father and son duo did not speak again on their way back to the old house.
It was only until he arrived in front of Zhou Qianweng that Zhou Zhengguang finally said in a low voice, “Father, I’m back.”
“Political light? Are you the political light? ” Zhou Qianweng looked at him confusedly, and asked suspiciously.
Zhou Zhengguang was a little sad. He should have been able to spend more time with the old man since he was senile and was crazy, but because some things he did not do, he did not feel good about it.
“Yes, I am Political Light.” Zhou Zhengguang stepped forward to hold Zhou Qianweng’s hand, and replied with some guilt.
Zhou Qianweng suddenly laughed, and spoke out like a child. “It’s so good that Zhengguo is back, I’m really so happy.”
After he finished speaking, Zhou Qianweng turned his gaze towards Zhou Yuanzun, and then looked to his side, and asked somewhat puzzledly: “Where’s Xiao Yin? Why isn’t Xiao Yin here? ”
“Father, that Wei Zhenyin is a scammer. She came to this young noble just to deceive us Zhou’s.” It was unknown when Zhou Shunlin had returned to his dwelling, and he timely explained.
Zhou Qianweng immediately frowned, and pouted unhappily: You are the liar, how can such a good child like Xiao Yin lie?
“Father, you’re old. Sometimes, it’s normal for some people to be unable to see clearly. After all, that Wei Zhenyin is really good at lying.” Zhou Shunlin said with a faint smile.
“No way!” Zhou Qianweng stood up with a bit of agitation, and retorted loudly: “Don’t call me father, Xiao Yin is the smartest, you’re the one who’s lying!”
“Father, I’m not lying to you. This one knows about it too, and he …”
“Grandfather, it was due to something that made Ah Yin unable to come over. Please don’t be angry at her, next time I’ll ask her to come over and accompany you for a little longer.” Zhou Yuanzun suddenly interrupted Zhou Shunlin and spoke first.
Zhou Qianweng immediately beamed. “That’s right, that’s more like it, if Xiao Yin has something she can come over next time, you should return early to accompany her.”
A trace of pain flashed across Zhou Yuanzun’s eyes, and he responded indifferently.
Zhou Shunlin, who was at the side, did not say anything, and only laughed sarcastically, staring at Zhou Yuanzun.
