Chapter 195
The location is set on Guanqian Street.
Zhong Qiao informed her family of the good news and took the opportunity to take them with her, so that if she left, nothing would happen at home.
Both Uncle Lin and the Xu family may make a comeback, and Zhong Qiao does not want to take any risks.
The person who was happiest to hear the news was Zhong Siqi.
Their school has very strict management and students are usually not allowed to go out. It's a rare holiday, and it's nice for the family to go out for a walk together. But on second thought, he became a little worried.
Father Zhong saw through his thoughts and asked, "You want to take Fang He with you, right?"
Zhong Siqi's face flushed red: "Dad, why are you talking nonsense?" Although this was the fact, he had to give him some face in front of everyone.
"Stop pretending. I don't know you." Father Zhong sneered, "You run out every few days. Your girlfriend is so full of pretentious thoughts. If you go out, you'll have to play for at least four or five days. Can you bear to leave Fang He? I don't believe it."
"Dad." Zhong Siqi complained, but his tone softened a bit, "Then tell me, should we take Xiao He with us or not?"
Zhong Qiao said: "Of course I can't bring it with me."
She glanced at her silly brother.
"Fang He hasn't even married into our family yet, and you dare to take her out with us? Have you ever considered her reputation? If others ask about it, who knows what they will say about her."
Zhong Siqi was silent.
This was indeed something he had not expected. He was so overwhelmed by the joy in his heart that he became sober all of a sudden after being poured cold water by Zhong Qiao's words.
"Then I won't go." Zhong Siqi said dejectedly.
Zhong Qiao glanced at him and said, "Fool."
Suddenly cursed.
"Can't you take Xiao He out for a walk? Bring your classmates with you, and no one else can say anything to you."
The fact that she could say these words meant that she was going to give money. Zhong Siqi looked at her expectantly, and sure enough, the next second, Zhong Qiao took out some tickets and money from her pocket.
"This should be enough for you to have fun, but remember, you have to consider the consequences of everything you do and don't act on your own."
The implication is that anyone who dares to eat the forbidden fruit will be beaten to death.
Zhong Siqi shrank her neck, and suddenly felt that the money in her hand was like a hot potato: "Sister, no, no, I'm not that kind of person."
After receiving the money, Zhong Siqi's destination was also arranged. As for her parents, they would go with her and Ji Hebai, so she could finally rest assured.
The next day came, and Zhong Qiao prepared everything for going out early, including tissues, water, and the car they had arranged.
Father Zhong was afraid that Uncle Lin would worry, so he wanted to tell him about it on the way, but was stopped by Zhong Qiao.
Zhong Qiao said, "Dad, I've asked someone to tell Uncle Lin."
"Oh?" Father Zhong looked surprised. "When did it happen so quickly? I remember you didn't go out last night."
Zhong Qiao remained calm and said, "Let He Bai tell you."
Ji Hebai, who was suddenly named, was already used to covering up for her: "Yes, uncle."
With Ji Hebai's guarantee, Zhong's father finally felt relieved, but he still felt guilty.
Xiaolin is a good boy. He came all the way from Hong Kong to Suzhou to find them just to make sure that their family is well. But they selfishly went on a trip. It is really wrong.
Zhong Qiao saw what he was thinking: "Dad, I have something to tell you."
There were some things she originally didn't want to say because she was afraid that her father would not be able to accept the reality. But now, the danger was right beside her. Although it was still uncertain, Zhong Qiao didn't want to wait until a big mistake was made before regretting it.
Mr. Zhong was too concerned about their old friendship, so Zhong Qiao had to tell him all her guesses this time. Even if she would be scolded, she would not regret it. At least it could serve as a wake-up call for Mr. Zhong.
That way I wouldn't have to trust Uncle Lin so much.
"Can't we just talk about it here?" Mr. Zhong expressed his confusion, but still followed her to a secluded place.
When the two of them reached a secluded corner, Zhong Qiao looked around and repeatedly confirmed that no one was following them before saying, "Dad, I'm going to tell you two things. You must be mentally prepared."
It was the first time that Mr. Zhong saw her with such a serious expression. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Zhong Qiao took a deep breath and said, "Dad, you're not totally fine. Do you remember the last time I took you for a checkup? Someone actually put poison in your body, and this poison is only found in Hong Kong and other countries."
Without waiting for Mr. Zhong to show any expression, Zhong Qiao said everything he wanted to say.
"Dad, I still suspect someone. He might have poisoned me."
Father Zhong's heart suddenly tightened: "What?"
Or wait until he digests it first.
What do you mean by "he was poisoned"? And from what he said, the poison is not simple. It is not available in the mainland and is only circulated in Hong Kong and foreign countries. So it is very likely that he was poisoned in Hong Kong.
Zhong Qiao said, "Uncle Lin, there's something wrong with him."
"Dad, I don't want to suspect Uncle Lin. After all, he watched me grow up and is my elder. But this poison was found to come from Hong Kong and foreign countries. I don't need to tell you that you must have been poisoned in Hong Kong."
"The person who could poison you must be someone close to you. Mom wouldn't harm you for no reason. So it could only be one person."
"Xiao Lin." Father Zhong muttered the name unconsciously, "No, this is impossible."
He obviously couldn't accept this overwhelming amount of information.
"Xiao Lin has been with your mother and me since he was young. We treat him like our own brother. He has watched you and your brother grow up. We have no grudges against him, so why would he want to harm me?"
"Dad, don't get excited." Zhong Qiao had already guessed that his reaction would be violent. "I'm just guessing. Maybe the person who poisoned you wasn't Lin. But we have to be careful."
"Don't you think Uncle Lin's sudden trip from Hong Kong to Suzhou wasn't for us?"
"We've been in Suzhou for so long, and apart from writing to you, he never mentioned coming to Suzhou. Yet, he suddenly shows up in Suzhou, looking so disheveled, as if he'd encountered some difficulty."
"He said it was because the Hong Kong dollar couldn't be exchanged. Then why didn't he choose to call the police immediately? He almost starved to death on the street. Dad, don't you think these things are too coincidental and too weird?"
After hearing these analyses, Mr. Zhong remained silent.
He was considered an old hand in the world, so he had doubts about Xiaolin, but after such a long time of companionship, he couldn't think that Xiaolin was a bad person.
However, today this fig leaf was torn off by his own daughter, and he realized that some problems had to be faced again.
