When Ning Zhenqian rushed to S city, it was already two days later.

It took two days for flights to resume.

After getting off the plane, he went straight to Tao Zi's home.

At that time, Tao Zi's high fever had subsided, but her illness was gone. The symptoms of the late stage of the cold were still lingering on her. She was exhausted, had no appetite, and lay lazily with blue eyes.

Ning Zhenqian came in with a sullen face. Because Tao Zi didn't know beforehand, he was really surprised when he saw the tall figure about 1.8 meters entering the room like a dark cloud. The chopsticks he was holding in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Subconsciously, she pulled the blanket on the sofa over her legs to cover her invisible knees, and clamped her arms tightly to try not to expose her elbows.

It was time for lunch, and Xiao Hai was very happy to see him coming, "Captain! It's just time for lunch!"

"Yeah!" He was not polite and went into the kitchen and took out a bowl without even looking at Tao Zi.

He didn't come over to talk to Tao Zi. He poured the rice and sat down to eat by himself in the restaurant.

Tao Zi was mentally prepared to withstand the baptism of the storm, but ended up being so calm? She was a little surprised and secretly glanced at Xiao Hai, who also scratched his head and thought it was quite strange. This was not the leader's style...

"Xiao Hai!" The person in the restaurant shouted.

"Arrived!" Xiao Hai stuck out his tongue at Tao Zi in horror, and hurriedly ran over.

She listened carefully to the conversation between him and Xiao Hai, and everything he said was related to the case.

Xiao Hai reported the latest news from the police station: the phone number pretending to be a cemetery staff member was a card that was purchased temporarily. He only called once, so it was not possible to find out who made the call; those gangsters were actually

Three of them were arrested that night, and their confessions were consistent. They were originally for robbery, but later they became lustful.

After hearing this, Ning Zhenqian stopped talking and just lowered his head to eat. He didn't ask Tao Zi how injured he was or whether the cold was gone.

Tao Zi had long been accustomed to the speed at which soldiers ate. Within a few minutes, Ning Zhenqian finished his meal like a storm, threw away the bowl, and left the restaurant.

Do you train her after she is full?

Tao Zi thought secretly and gently put down the unfinished meal, thinking about what attitude he should use to face his reprimand, ignore it? Fight back firmly? Or respond with indifference?

However, it turned out that she really thought too much...

People were just passing by her, just passing by!

After passing by, I walked directly to the door, opened the door and went out...

He's out?!

Not only was Tao Zi surprised, but Xiao Hai also stared wide-eyed and couldn't believe what was happening. Is this the group leader? Is he the group leader who called Tao Zi this morning to ask if Tao Zi had recovered from his cold? Why did he leave without saying a word when he arrived?

Where is it?

"Sister, what do you think the leader does?" Xiao Hai asked a thought-provoking question.

Tao Zi stared at the closed door and replied, "You are just trying to make a living..."

Xiao Hai glanced at Tao Zi speechlessly and felt that no, he couldn't just let the group leader go!

So he opened the door and chased him out without giving up. He chased him out of the community and stopped Ning Zhenqian who was waiting for a rental.

"Captain! Wait!"

Ning Zhenqian turned around and watched him approaching, frowning slightly, "What are you doing out here? Can you stay away from people inside?"

"Um...it was my sister who asked me to come out and call you! I asked you if you were full. Why did you leave like that?" Xiao Hai was very smart and made peace in the middle.

Ning Zhenqian's dark eyes lit up, then darkened immediately, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Xiao Hai chuckled, "No... Captain, you obviously care about my sister, why don't you take this opportunity to show it to me? If you say some thoughtful words and ask for help, my sister will feel better. It's not that difficult for her to return to Beijing."

Already..."

"I can't tell!" Ning Zhenqian replied firmly, but what he wanted to say in his heart was that even if I said it, I could still guess what her answer would be: I'm fine alone! I can take care of myself even if you're not with me

, look, isn’t my illness healed? As for this little injury, who hasn’t had a few bumps and bruises since childhood? It will be fine soon... In short, what she wants to express is his concern.

It was completely redundant to her, and he was even more redundant...

However, Xiao Hai was shocked by Ning Zhenqian's frank answer. He scratched his head and thought about it, the leader is really not a good talker...

"Captain, you can say this..." Xiaohai babbled, feeling really anxious.

Is the leader chasing his wife? How can anyone chase his wife and just have a meal at someone else's house and then leave? If he doesn't take action, he won't be able to stand it anymore! He might be coaxed away by Jiang Feng next door! People

Jiang Feng is the anchor, he knows a lot

Say! Just a few words can make my sister smile, and the car that was smashed by the gangsters. Jiang Feng patted his chest grandly and said it doesn't matter. As long as he is fine, he is the greatest luck. My sister was so touched after hearing those words.

ah……

Ning Zhenqian listened patiently, smiled bitterly at the end, and patted Xiao Hai on the shoulder, "Xiao Hai, I've worked hard for you these days, and I can't help but think so much about you. However, the relationship between your sister and I cannot be resolved with just a few words.

The problem is, go back, her feet have been hurting for the past two days, and you have to be by her side all the time." Oh, that fool, did you think he didn't see it because he covered it so quickly? The first thing he saw when he entered the door was her knees.

Elbows, and the tired look on her face...

"Then... what about you? Where are you going?" Xiao Hai couldn't figure it out. If this is the case, then he is really here to make a living?

"I still have something to do. I only have two hours. I have to finish it and then fly back to Beijing immediately. I'm very busy during this period." He said while looking at the taxis on the road.

Xiao Hai was also a soldier, so he knew that July and August were the busiest times for the army, not to mention that the regimental leader was still in Beijing.

"Captain, since you are so busy, just call me if you have anything to do. I will go and do it for you! You are in such a hurry, I think you are just a freeloader..." The captain does not trust you.

He still doesn't believe in his ability to do things? After that, he added, "Captain, you still don't believe me?"

A freeloader? Ning Zhenqian wanted to laugh, but couldn't. He shook his head, "It's not that I don't believe you. I could have left it to you. It was just a matter of a few words, but..." At this point, he stopped.

.

"Just what?" Xiaohai chased and asked.

His eyes darkened and he shook his head, "Nothing, just go back! The car is here!"

Just what? He didn't say. It's just that... I still want to see her, even if it's just a glimpse, even if I have to fly back soon, even if she treats her as a free-for-all...

"Oh..." Xiao Hai watched Ning Zhenqian get into the car, but he still didn't understand the captain's thoughts as deep as the sea. Even though he had been a guard for several years and thought he understood the leader best, he still couldn't understand the leader's mind.

ah……

——————————————————————————————

A certain teahouse.

Ning Zhenqian made an appointment, but he hadn't come yet. He was a little anxious and looked at the time while waiting.

Finally, the private room door opened and Luo Dongqin came in.

Ning Zhenqian asked him to sit down without being too polite, but neither of them thought that one day they would sit alone and drink tea together.

They still don't appreciate each other, he doesn't like that he is too tough and rough, and he thinks that he is too bookish. However, this does not prevent the two parties from reaching a consensus in some aspects - they believe that the other party's intention to protect Tao Zi is genuine.

"Let's get straight to the point!" Ning Zhenqian is not used to overly roundabout conversations, "The reason why I came to you today is because of my daughter. I think you must not know that she was hurt."

"Who? What's wrong?" Luo Dongqin really didn't know. He was so busy these days, and he was getting farther and farther away from Tao Zi... He didn't think about it anymore, or maybe he had been too indifferent to everything for a long time.

Including the matter of winning over Tao Zi, he was not proactive enough, so that he who was far away in Beijing knew that something was wrong with her, but those who were nearby in S city knew nothing...

Ning Zhenqian held the teacup with his fingers, but did not drink the tea. He pondered for a moment and said, "I thought you would know better than me. How persistent is Shen Sisi's feelings for you..."

"You said it was Sisi who did it?" Luo Dongqin couldn't believe it.

Ning Zhenqian ignored his reaction and continued, "First, I made a phone call to trick Nannan into going to the cemetery. I drove to the cemetery on a typhoon night. If Nannan didn't call me on the way and went there rashly, I don't think her limbs would be intact.

Come back. Then, because she didn’t go to the cemetery, she was attacked by someone smashing a car on the road, and she was caught in the car and asked to...take pictures of her!"

Ning Zhenqian couldn't say those dirty words, but he was already gritting his teeth. The hand holding the cup, the fingertips turned white from the exertion...

Luo Dongqin's face also turned pale.

"This Miss Shen Sisi is passionate about you! Even if your Luo family is in trouble now, you are still willing to commit yourself to marrying. But if you don't accept this love, people will think that you only have a daughter in your heart..." Ning Zhenqian stared at him with ridicule.

.

"So...you suspect Sisi did it?" Luo Dongqin asked.

Ning Zhenqian's eyes flashed, "You don't believe me?"

"No!" Luo Dongqin didn't follow his own feelings blindly. "I just believe in the evidence. If you have evidence, you should explain it to the police instead of talking nonsense to me."

Ning Zhenqian gently turned the cup and looked solemn, "I have handed over the relevant clues I know to the police. Coincidentally, I happened to see Shen Sisi coming out of a bank on the way from the airport to Nannan's house today.

I'm sorry, I always considered your loyal follower

Suspect, so I simply followed her. As a result, I saw her go to a residential house and put a large leather envelope into the trash can. As soon as she left, someone came to search in the trash can and took away the envelope.

...I think Mr. Luo is so smart that I don’t need to say anything else.”

Luo Dongqin also looked unhappy, "In this case, what's the point of Chief Ningda telling me? Do you think I will protect Sisi?"

Ning Zhenqian shook his head, "No. I just think that Shen Sisi has caused a lot of trouble this time. It will not be easy to get away easily. I'm afraid the old man of the Shen family won't let it go..." At this point, he paused briefly.

, "I'm not with Nannan... If I can, I will definitely take her away, but..." There was a hint of helplessness on his face.

"You will be helpless?" Luo Dongqin couldn't help but mock. In front of him, hadn't he always been arrogant and seemed omnipotent?

Ning Zhenqian smiled bitterly. Luo Dongqin's words really complimented him. When had he ever done anything in front of Tao Zi? "Nanny thinks she is very powerful, but actually..." He did not say any more unnecessary words, "It's a pity that I am beyond my reach. The Shen family is not there."
