Zhao Dong stood on the street in a depressed mood. He just wanted to test Aunt Mei's attitude through A Jun.
Now it seems that Aunt Mei’s statement couldn’t be more obvious, kill them all!
Of course, this extermination was not aimed at Sophie, but at him.
Once she can't find a house, Sophie can't sleep on the street.
The Wei family and Xu Huayang are both acceptable choices for Aunt Mei.
If nothing else works, Sophie can go to her friends.
But what about him? He can't be so shameless as to follow.
Once two people no longer intersect in life, the newly established relationship will cease to exist in name only.
In fact, Zhao Dong has one last choice, the old house in Jiangbei District.
The rent is free, the property fees are completely eliminated, and the water and electricity bills are even cheaper.
The eldest brother won't say anything. As for the mother, she must also support it with both hands.
Is it just Sophie who is willing?
Although the old house is relatively clean, the surrounding environment is dilapidated and old, and it is not close to the Su family.
Not to mention anything else, driving to work every day takes more than half an hour.
Will she agree?
It seems that I can only go back and discuss it with her.
Zhao Dong has a headache. After working all day, the house matter has not been finalized. What should he explain to Sophie when he returns home?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the roar of the engine!
Zhao Dong looked up and saw that Ajun's Sagitar was driving straight towards him at a very fast speed with almost no intention of slowing down.
He stood there with squinted eyes, showing no intention of hiding, and stared directly at the cab.
Across the windshield, their eyes collided directly with each other!
Just when the front of the car was still two or three meters away from him, the car suddenly changed direction.
The car body passed Zhao Dong dangerously, and the biting wind lifted the corners of his clothes.
Zhao Dong understood what A Jun meant. He just gave a simple warning. If the situation develops out of control one day in the future, he would not mind taking another method!
…
On the other side, Ajun looked back in the rearview mirror, feeling solemn as never before.
Sophie has never lacked suitors. Under Aunt Mei's secret instructions, he has come forward more than once to warn those dandies who overestimate their abilities.
I have used the method just now more than once, and the most useless one even made me pee my pants out of fright.
But Zhao Dong was different. His tall and straight body did not waver at all, especially the something hidden in his eyes, which made him feel instinctively afraid.
Ajun once asked his friends in the army to help investigate Zhao Dong's background. He found that his military experience was very ordinary, nothing special at all.
He couldn't understand how an ordinary veteran could give him such an illusion.
Ah Jun was also a sharp-edged force when he joined the army, and his training after retirement has never fallen behind. Although his physical fitness is not as good as when he was at his peak, it is not much worse.
The only two battles he had with Zhao Dong left him feeling a little powerless.
It was a strange feeling, as if he had tried his best, but Zhao Dong always had some leftover.
Ajun couldn't figure it out. If this guy was really so powerful, how could he remain unknown in the army?
Of course, what made him even more afraid was the guy he saw at the Imperial Court Club last time!
Ah Jun inquired later, and although he didn't find anything specific, he made a vague guess about the car.
Xiong Chen, a guy called "Big Bear" in the circle.
He has a bad temper, rarely obeys others, and is a complete soldier ruffian. He is also a famous second-generation soldier in Tianzhou.
His father, Xiong Gang, is a member of the "xx Airborne Brigade Veterans Tianzhou Association".
Before retiring from the army, he was the second-in-command of a certain powerful department and played a decisive role in the Tianzhou Military Region.
Originally there was no necessary connection between the two, but through a brief message, he discovered the anomaly.
Zhao Dong and Xiong Chen joined the army in the same year, and their discharge dates were only a few days apart.
Although the two men belong to different troops, is it really such a coincidence?
What's more, Xiong Chen can be called to help with just one phone call. This is a very strange thing!
Ajun didn't believe in evil and went deeper to investigate, only to encounter an inexplicable resistance.
Even the friend who leaked the news to him was given a serious warning.
In desperation, he could only give up.
Ajun is not worried about anything else now, but is afraid that Zhao Dong will find Xiong Chen.
With the energy of the Xiong family, it is easy to find a house in Tianzhou. The methods used to deal with ordinary people are obviously not applicable to Xiong Chen.
But if Zhao Dong really takes this step, how should he explain to the lady?
…
When Zhao Dong went back, it was already an hour later and he bought some vegetables on the way.
Dinner had just been cooked and Sophie got off work on time.
"It smells so good, I'm starving to death!"
She threw away her satchel and couldn't help but run to the dining table and fan her nose.
"Wash your hands first."
"What's wrong? You look so bitter and resentful? Are you having trouble finding a house?"
Zhao Dong didn't know how to open his mouth and said vaguely: "Let's talk about it after dinner."
After dinner, Sophie asked again, "Tell me, are you in any trouble?"
Zhao Dong didn't mention what happened today, "It's nothing. I'm not very satisfied with what I found today. I'll go out and look around tomorrow."
It's just a house that satisfies Sophie. In fact, it is not difficult for him.
It's just that he doesn't want to ask for help. If he doesn't really have to, he definitely won't open his mouth.
Otherwise, why would it be so troublesome?
Although my father has passed away many years ago, the old relationship is still there. If he is willing, the matter can be settled with just one phone call.
Zhao Dong felt that this might be inherited from his mother.
She was a strong and independent woman who raised the two brothers alone without relying on anyone, and refused all help provided by the state.
According to my mother, as long as I can live a decent life, I will never cause trouble to the country.
This is also the reason why Zhao Dong doesn't want to ask for help. It's easy for him to open his mouth, but doesn't his mother's persistence for so many years become a joke?
Sophie didn't know what Zhao Dong was thinking, but she understood Aunt Mei.
"You don't have to lie to me. Is she causing trouble?"
"No."
"Zhao Dong, do you know that you are particularly bad at lying?"
"Really?"
"Really, I don't dare to look at people, and my face gets red easily!"
Zhao Dong had no choice but to tell the truth since he couldn't hide it from her.
Sophie said angrily, "I knew it! Did she think she could make me compromise like this? What a dream!"
After Zhao Dong gave some words of advice, the idea of returning to his old home came up again.
But before he could open his mouth, Sophie had already spoken, "You don't have to worry about the house, I've already found it."
"Found it? Where did you find it?"
"A friend has a house in Tianzhou. It is vacant. The location and size are just right. You can move in with just your luggage."
"Is it appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate? It's not like we live for free, we pay rent!"
"The relationship is good. When you have time, why don't you treat your friend to a meal?"
Sophie excused herself, "We'll talk about it when we have time."
Not only that, but facing Zhao Dong's gaze, she suddenly felt guilty.
