“This matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Listen to me, don’t act impulsively.” Qiao Xinruo gripped Zhou Jinglan’s arm tightly.
Even if her guesses were all wishful thinking, and that person was not Lu Zhengjun at all, but simply a perpetrator, their inaction was merely letting the bad guy go free once. But if her guesses were true, the consequences of rushing up would be unimaginable.
Going undercover is inherently extremely dangerous, and no matter how you look at it, Qiao Xinruo does not approve of acting impulsively.
“Xinruo…” Zhou Jinglan was still hesitant.
But Qiao Xinruo can't explain too much to him right now; this is still a top-secret matter that can't be revealed to anyone.
“Zhou Jinglan, believe me, I have my reasons.” Qiao Xinruo said firmly.
The little goddess is not one to bully the weak and fear the strong, so why is she so insistent on not reacting to this matter? Could there really be some hidden reason behind it?
Regardless, Zhou Jinglan chose to believe her.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Zhou Jinglan obediently sat down.
At the same time, Su Cheng, who was about to leave with Haozi and Zheng Chong, inexplicably looked in the direction of Qiao Xinruo and Zhou Jinglan.
Su Cheng: "!!!"
Crescent moon?
For a moment he was dazed. How could Crescent Moon be here, and with a young man beside her? It seemed that Crescent Moon and that man were quite intimate!
Could it be that after his "death," Crescent Moon was already with another man?
Even so, he didn't seem to have any grounds to object. After all, he was already dead. What right did he have to ask Yueya to remain a widow for him for the rest of her life?
Although he could rationally understand the situation, emotionally he couldn't accept it and wished he could rush over and kill the man next to Su Yueya!
"Brother Cheng, what's wrong?" Just as he stood up, Su Cheng suddenly stopped, looking murderous, which Zheng Chong found strange.
"Huh?" Su Cheng snapped out of his daze, suppressed his murderous intent, and gritted his teeth, saying, "It's nothing."
wrong!
In a moment of rage, Su Cheng was momentarily blinded by anger and mistook the woman for Su Yueya, thinking she had found a new love. But now that he had come to his senses, he realized that Yueya's usual style of dress was not like this; this style... was more like his sister-in-law, Qiao Xinruo.
Yes, that woman wasn't Su Yueya at all, but Qiao Xinruo.
In an instant, Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, a self-deceptive act.
If it's Qiao Xinruo, isn't it perfectly reasonable for her to be with a young man at a dance hall?
"Let's go," Su Cheng said, leading Zheng Chong and Haozi away.
Qiao Xinruo kept an eye on the commotion out of the corner of her eye until the man who looked like Lu Zhengjun left. Her mind was in turmoil, filled with too many guesses.
If that person really was Lu Zhengjun, the brother-in-law, then what just happened wasn't a violent incident, but probably part of a mission.
"Zhou Jinglan, promise me one thing." Qiao Xinruo suddenly became very serious, which was out of place with the lively music around her.
"Xinruo, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Jinglan asked, puzzled.
All of this is wrong because of that strange man. Could it be that what Xinruo said is not simple, that she knows that man, and that they have some kind of relationship?
Qiao Xinruo couldn't explain much, and she couldn't say much either, so she could only try to calm Zhou Jinglan down first.
Forget everything you just saw, and don't mention it to anyone, okay?
Qiao Xinruo knew that her request was unreasonable, even a bit excessive, but as long as she thought that the man might be Lu Zhengjun, she had to do it.
Lu Zhengjun is her brother-in-law, and he was also sent by the military to carry out an undercover mission. Even if she can't help him, she absolutely can't hold him back.
Zhou Jinglan stared intently at Qiao Xinruo, trying to see right into her eyes.
He could tell that Qiao Xinruo cared a lot about this matter, but she didn't tell him the whole truth.
Should one choose to believe the Little Goddess, or uphold the justice in their heart?
Or perhaps, the truth is that the two are not contradictory?
“Okay, I promise you, I won’t tell anyone.” Zhou Jinglan nodded, choosing to believe the little goddess.
If you like her, you should trust her and believe everything about her.
Qiao Xinruo breathed a sigh of relief and was also touched by Zhou Jinglan's unconditional trust, because she hadn't given him any reason, yet he still chose to trust her.
"Zhou Jinglan, thank you."
“There’s no need for this word of thanks between us,” Zhou Jinglan said.
“I will not let you down,” Qiao Xinruo said, holding her breath. “One day I will tell you the whole story, when the time is right.”
“Okay.” Zhou Jinglan nodded.
After this little incident, the two did not stay in the dance hall any longer, and Qiao Xinruo asked Zhou Jinglan to take her home.
“Let’s come again next time we have time,” Qiao Xinruo said, thinking that maybe she could bring her sister here to try. If they met that man again, her sister would definitely be more certain than her whether it was Lu Zhengjun or not.
“Okay, let’s go.” Zhou Jinglan had no objections to any of Qiao Xinruo’s decisions.
Back home, Qiao Xinruo immediately pulled Su Yueya aside and quietly told her everything she had seen in the dance hall.
“That man looks a lot like my brother-in-law. Although their faces are different, their height, build, and eyes are very similar. He seems to have become some kind of boss, leading two people to teach people a lesson in the dance hall.”
"Really?" Su Yueya didn't notice the rest of the sentence at all; her focus was entirely on the fact that the man looked a lot like Lu Zhengjun.
"Xinruo, are you sure? She really looks a lot like Zhengjun?"
How long has it been?
Aside from hearing a few words about Lu Zhengjun in Leng Yingying's inner thoughts, Su Yueya had never learned anything about Lu Zhengjun through any channel. Now, a person who resembled Lu Zhengjun had appeared in the capital and had been spotted by her sister.
For Su Yueya, this was simply a piece of great joy!
Whatever that person is doing, it must be related to the mission. If it really is Lu Zhengjun, doesn't that mean he is still alive?
Staying alive is the most important thing!
"Sister, I can't be 100% sure either." Qiao Xinruo regretted her words a little. What if the person wasn't her brother-in-law? Wouldn't that have given her sister hope only to disappoint her again?
"What if... I'm seeing things wrong?"
After all, the lights in the dance hall are so dazzling and the music is so deafening, it's normal to be affected by the music.
"I hope you're not mistaken," Su Yueya said.
In just a few words, her emotions went through tremendous ups and downs, but she kept telling herself to calm down and not let herself get carried away.
"Sister, please don't be like this..." Qiao Xinruo couldn't bear to see her sister like this, afraid that it would make her sad.
