Chapter 34: Old Xin's Argument
A voice of restraint immediately came from outside the door: "Wait!"
Zhu Mingqing smiled when he saw the person coming.
She asked with concern: "Is he okay?"
Fen Tao trotted over: "He's awake. Doctor Hua and Luo Tian are behind him. I came here first."
The two of them knew what the other meant, but the people present were confused.
Who woke up?
How is it related to Doctor Hua from the small mountain village?
Zhu Mingqing felt relieved. He glanced at Lao Xin first, then looked at Liang He:
"Captain Liang, I have something to report. Your Excellency, please listen to me first."
Lao Xin thought that the matter was a sure thing, but first Cheng Yaojin showed up out of nowhere, and now Fen Tao showed up.
For some reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
He immediately said, "Boss, this girl is in cahoots with Madam Zhu. She disappeared just now, and now she suddenly comes out to stop us. I wonder what evil plans they have. To reassure our brothers, let's take her away first."
Liang He noticed that Mrs. Zhu's expression had changed since Fen Tao appeared. Her calm eyes were filled with starlight, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was sure of victory.
Did I really miss her?
"No hurry." He wanted to know what the other party had to say. "Just tell me what you want to say, but if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will show no mercy."
Otherwise, these prisoners would follow his example and commit crimes against their superiors. Where would his authority be?
Zhu Mingqing nodded, smiling brightly, turned to look directly at Old Xin, and said in a very strong voice: "Sir Xin, may I ask where Sir Chang has gone?"
Gudong, Lao Xin couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and sweat broke out on his forehead instantly. He was scared.
Why did you suddenly mention Xiaowu?
Liang He was also wondering why Xiao Wu was the most active during meals. But now he was nowhere to be seen.
He also frowned and asked, "Old Xin, has Xiaowu come to see you?"
Lao Xin shook his head, pretending to be ignorant: "No. I don't know why Madam Zhu asked me that. Xiaowu is free to go wherever he wants. I've been in my room all day today, so how would I know where he is?"
Hearing his repeated denials, Zhu Mingqing's smile grew even brighter.
"Second Madam Song, what about you? Have you met Lord Chang?"
Caught off guard, the spearhead was pointed at her again. Song's pupils shrank and she shook her head fiercely, "I haven't seen it."
The two seemed calm, but they were actually extremely nervous.
Zhu Mingqing clapped his hands. "Since you haven't seen it before, then it's easy. Today, I'll let all of you watch a good show."
Lao Xin's ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger. He couldn't help but scold, "Madam Zhu, even if you saved my life, I won't tolerate you making trouble here."
As he said this, he jumped over and was about to take the person away, regardless of his injured calf.
How could Zhu Mingqing do as he wished? She turned around, and her white dress drew a beautiful arc in the air, making her look more calm and composed.
She had a wicked smile on her face and whispered in his ear, "You're anxious."
Lao Xin's heart was pounding, and he wanted to continue catching people, but was stopped by Liang He.
"Boss?" He widened his eyes.
Liang He frowned. Madam Zhu would not mention Xiaowu for no reason. Moreover, he did tell Xiaowu at noon to go see Lao Xin, but Xiaowu ran away in anger.
Now it seems——
His voice was heavy: "Lao Xin, are you hiding something from me?"
How else to explain that Mrs. Zhu was clearly his savior, yet he slandered her again and again.
Now he is determined to capture the person regardless of his own health.
Old Xin shook his head, his expression anxious: "How could you believe the slander of a prisoner like her? She was the one who started the rumor and caused trouble first. I was just following the rules."
He became more and more agitated: "On the contrary, why are you so tolerant of her, sir?"
Liang He pursed his lips, not getting angry at his questioning: "Lao Xin, you don't need to change the subject. Answer my question just now."
Lao Xin's breathing quickened a bit, his face was stubborn, and he still had an expression that said "I'm not wrong, she's wrong".
"explain!"
Liang He raised his voice and looked stern.
Seeing the two men arguing with each other, the other officers stepped forward to dissuade them.
"How can you say there's something wrong with Lao Xin just because of what she said?"
"There's definitely nothing wrong with Old Xin. It's that Zhu who's causing discord."
"Yeah, we don't know where Xiaowu ran off to."
Some people even wanted to take Zhu Mingqing away directly to avoid making things worse.
Fen Tao immediately stood in front of Zhu Mingqing and said anxiously: "Madam did not lie, and we know where Master Chang is."
"You're talking nonsense." Old Xin was quick-witted and quick-handed. He was afraid that she would really say that Chang Wu was in the cabinet in his room, so he came up and slapped Fen Tao.
Boom——
Zhu Mingqing moved fiercely and kicked him directly, knocking him to the ground.
Lao Xin covered his calf and cried out in pain. The scene was in chaos and the prisoners hid nearby to watch the show.
"This afternoon, Chang Wu went to deliver medicine to you and happened to hear a secret..."
A cold voice sounded slowly, attracting everyone's attention.
Liang He couldn't help but ask, "What secret?"
Old Xin's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, Song's face turned pale, and both of them were sweating profusely.
There was no one else in the room except the three of them at the time. How could she know so clearly?
Zhu Mingqing told Liang He word for word what happened today, and Liang He's expression became more and more ugly.
Although she felt that Lao Xin would not do such a heartless thing, Mrs. Zhu's words made sense.
He asked, "What about Xiaowu? How is he now?"
Old Xin regretted it so much. If he had known earlier, he should have thrown Xiaowu's body away earlier.
"Of course he's not in that closet."
Zhu Mingqing continued to speak, and Lao Xin's face lit up with joy again. Was it stolen away by them?
Since he's gone, he'd better just refuse to admit it.
"Then where is he?" Liang He's eyes were filled with anxiety.
Mrs. Zhu had clearly reminded him that the beast-luring powder was likely related to Lao Xin.
But he didn't take it to heart.
A surge of anger suddenly surged in his heart, and he wished he could go back to noon and slap himself hard twice.
"He was rescued."
Zhu Mingqing looked at Lao Xin and said word by word, "He's on his way now."
"Impossible!" Lao Xin blurted out in panic.
As soon as he finished speaking, he knew something was wrong.
Sure enough, Liang He looked over with a pair of fiery eyes, "So it was you who did it?"
"I don't."
Lao Xin denied it loudly and vigorously.
He didn't believe that Chang Wu was not dead. He saw him die with his own eyes. Now he said that he was still alive. Maybe he wanted to trick him into telling the truth.
Yes, that must be it.
How can the dead be resurrected!
Old Xin pointed at Zhu Mingqing and said, "She just made up a story to avoid punishment. Do you even believe it, Boss?"
