Chapter 228 No Risks

What Xu Zhengnan said makes sense. I can't ask him to change his industry or circle just because of Jiang Xinyu.

I sighed, "Okay, I'm a reasonable person. Now that you've said that, I will trust you, understand you, and won't doubt you."

My words were very sweet and gentle. The smile on Xu Zhengnan's face deepened and became gentler. He picked me up and put me on the bed. Just when I shyly thought that he wanted to do something, he covered me with a blanket and said, "Have a good rest. You are soaked all over today. You must have caught a cold. If you feel uncomfortable at night, call me at any time. I am a light sleeper."

Despite such thoughtful words, my face turned red. What was I thinking just now?

"Okay, I got it." I quickly wrapped myself tightly in the quilt, covering half of my face. I really couldn't control those messy thoughts.

Xu Zhengnan looked at my quail egg-like reaction and seemed to have guessed what I was thinking. He deliberately moved closer to me and said, "What's wrong? Did you think of something strange just now? You don't dare to look at me?"

I closed my eyes tightly and didn't look at him. "No, I'm just sleepy and want to sleep."

"Okay, good night." Xu Zhengnan's deep and magnetic voice sounded very sexy at this moment. I wondered if I had taken the wrong medicine.

Did someone mix medicine into the sea water?

I closed my eyes tightly and only breathed a sigh of relief when I felt Xu Zhengnan fall asleep beside me.

When I woke up, the sun was shining outside the window, as if the weather had cleared up with Xu Zhengnan's return. He was answering the phone on the balcony. As if he noticed that I was awake, he hung up the phone and walked in.

I asked, "Who's calling so early in the morning?"

"Meng Zicheng." Xu Zhengnan answered casually.

I was stunned for a moment. Meng Zicheng called him?

At this time he handed me my cell phone, and I realized that he had actually answered the call with my cell phone. It should be Meng Zicheng calling me, but I was not awake, so he answered the call for me.

It’s not that I blame Xu Zhengnan for answering the phone for me. I was mainly worried that Meng Zicheng would talk nonsense and say some unpleasant words that polluted his ears.

I took the phone and asked nervously, "What did he say?"

“Nothing, just telling you that Shen Yixiao is in the hospital again.” Xu Zhengnan answered simply.

He didn't have to tell me this. Of course I knew that Shen Yixiao was admitted to the hospital again. It would be a problem if he didn't go to the hospital in his condition.

Just then, my cell phone rang again. It was a message from Meng Zicheng: Li Yue, you will regret this. Brother Xiao has come to terms with it and agreed to divorce you. But you want to take your father's information from me? Dream on!

Shen Yixiao and Meng Zicheng have talked about it. Do you agree to divorce me?

I breathed a sigh of relief and hoped he would do it sooner.

At this time, the hotel delivered breakfast. After Xu Zhengnan opened the door to receive it, he said to me, "Get up and have breakfast."

"Okay." I got up and washed up.

When I came out, Xu Zhengnan was answering the phone again. As soon as he saw me, he hung up. This reaction was very strange.

I asked worriedly, "Who were you talking to on the phone just now? Why did you hang up as soon as I arrived?"

Could it be Jiang Xinyu? No, we said we would be honest with each other and would not be easily provoked by Jiang Xinyu again.

Xu Zhengnan looked at me, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. Finally, he extended his hand to me and said, "Come here. I want to tell you something."

"Okay." I went over and sat down next to him. "You go ahead."

"I'm going to go to Country D." Xu Zhengnan looked at my reaction. "I've already determined where your father's student is, but the place he's in now is a private armed zone in that country. It's very chaotic. If I want to negotiate with the police to save him, it will definitely take a lot of time, so I plan to take people there myself."

When I heard this, I immediately broke free from his hand, stood up and protested excitedly, "No, you said you couldn't let me go, so why are you going? You already said it's very chaotic over there, and it would be very dangerous if you go!"

"Don't be angry, listen to me first." A smile flashed across Xu Zhengnan's face, and he stood up, hugged my waist, and said softly, "I will be fine, I will definitely bring that man back to see you and let him clear your father's name."

"Xu Zhengnan, if we can't find that person and my dad has to face the destruction of his reputation, my dad and I will accept our fate and cannot risk your life. Shen Yixiao has agreed to divorce me. Before the divorce, he will help me get the information in Meng Zicheng's hand. If he can't get it, I will tell my dad that if he has to choose, he will definitely choose you to stay instead of his own reputation." I grabbed Xu Zhengnan's collar with both hands, with a pleading tone, because I was worried that he would really leave without saying goodbye and run to find that student.

Xu Zhengnan's brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression was somewhat complicated.

Seeing how worried I was, he was naturally happy deep down in his heart. At least I was concerned about his safety and put his safety first.

He sighed softly, "No, there are things about your father that you don't know."

I was stunned.

Later, Xu Zhengnan told me that my father had been depressed since I eloped with Shen Yixiao. Except for going to school, he locked himself up at home. He always regretted and blamed himself, wondering if he was too strict with me, which made me rebellious and that was why I was easily deceived.

Since then, my father's mental state has not been very good. He was later diagnosed with severe depression, so he went abroad, so that at least he could avoid the strange looks around him.

So my father’s depression hasn’t actually been cured. It has improved a bit over the years, but he’s still taking medication.

My mother didn't tell me about this and I never knew about it.

Xu Zhengnan's eyes were serious. "Your father has always been an upright and respected person. He was rarely talked about. He finally got out of the shadow. If the academic fraud incident were to spread widely online, it would be a devastating blow to him. Besides, it was not his fault. He just took the blame for the student out of pity. This is not a mistake he should bear."

"My dad..." My heart trembled, and endless regret and remorse swept over me.

It's all my fault.

In the end, my father and Xu Zhengnan had to bear the consequences for these mistakes.

"I'll go. Give me the student's address and I'll find him myself." I replied with red eyes.

"No, I told you it's very dangerous there, and the situation there is turbulent now. There have been small-scale infighting among several armed forces. You can't even use a gun properly. I absolutely cannot let you go. Just wait for me at home. I will contact you every day to let you know I'm safe." When Xu Zhengnan heard that I was going, his face immediately became stern and he rejected me without hesitation.
