Chapter 198 [Bonus Chapter Special for Han Lili] A beast? Which child is a beast?!
Zhizhi wanted to make another move, but she heard Han Yubin's voice from the neighboring yard.
“Sui Sui must be sent to school. What future can she have studying in Suzhou? I’ve already made arrangements to send her abroad!”
"I disagree. Why not send Xiaobao instead?"
"I can't explain it to you. Sui Sui can go, and Xiao Bao will stay with us. I have to go out now!"
The couple's voices were getting closer and closer, and it seemed like they were about to bump into each other when they went out.
In a moment of quick thinking, Zhizhi immediately huddled in Jiang Yan's arms and commanded him, "What are you all standing there for? Run inside!!!"
Jiang Yan estimated the distance to the alley entrance. If he were to leave the military dependents' compound with the child now, Han Yubin would probably still see him.
He absolutely cannot confront Han Yubin, this suspicious individual.
never mind!
Jiang Yan took off and rushed into the Jiang family home, quickly closing the door behind him.
He didn't see it; the instant he closed and locked the door, Han Yubin had already rushed out.
"call--"
Zhizhi's heart was pounding. What a close call! She almost got caught!
She steadied herself and was about to speak when she realized that Jiang Yan's heart was also beating very fast.
The little cub looked up at him warily, its suspicious gaze moving inch by inch across his face, afraid of missing his unusual emotions.
Noticing her probing, Jiang Yan turned her head and carefully peered through the crack in the door to observe the situation outside.
Just then, Gan Su heard the noise and came out of the living room.
"Father? Zhenwei... ...No, Zhizhi? Why are you back at this time?"
Xiao Gansu looked puzzled. When did Zhizhi start wearing a boy's cotton-padded jacket and a hat with Zhenwei pig design?
I almost admitted my mistake.
He quickly walked down the steps and forward, but suddenly stopped when he was three steps away from Jiang Yan.
His expression suddenly froze. Something's not right!
This isn't his father!
Although they seemed very similar at first glance, a closer look revealed that their auras were completely different.
It's that kind of difference that you can't quite put your finger on, but you can just tell the difference, like... one person is a bit of a simpleton with no brains, while the other is a cunning old man full of schemes.
Gan Su frowned and threatened in a low voice, "Let go of my sister!"
As he spoke, he quietly went to grab a broom, ready to start a fight at any moment.
Zhizhi and Jiang Yan raised their hands at the same time:
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
The two moved in perfect unison, displaying remarkable chemistry.
But for some reason, when the two realized that they were doing the same thing, they both turned their heads away from each other, clearly displeased with each other.
It wasn't until it was confirmed that Han Yubin had left.
Zhizhi struggled to jump down from Jiang Yan's arms and swaggered into the living room.
"Big brother, where did Mom go?"
"Inside the house, who is Zhizhi?"
"Then forget about him for now, drag him in here, I'm going to interrogate him!"
Deng Qiu sat on the edge of the bedroom bed with red eyes. When she heard her daughter's voice, she quickly came out. When she came out, she found that Jiang Yan had also come over. Her face immediately turned extremely ugly.
"You actually came here too?!"
Jiang Yan pursed her lips. "It was Zhizhi who called me in."
"Mom, has my dad been taken away?"
Zhizhi asked anxiously, holding onto her mother's hand tightly.
Deng Qiu was about to answer, but she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw her outfit.
"Zhizhi, you... ..."
Zhizhi pulled off her hat and smiled shyly at her mother.
"I sneaked out and had the guy wear my dress to impersonate me."
"Jiang Zhizhi!" Deng Qiu originally wanted to scold her, but she knew that her daughter had suddenly run over, obviously because she knew that Jiang Anchao was in trouble.
Tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes, and she knelt down to hug her daughter tightly.
"You brat, I've told you you're just a kid. This isn't something you should be getting involved in. Why did you have to come to this troublesome place?"
"But that's Zhizhi's father. Does he have to go to jail before he'll tell Zhizhi?" The little one carefully lifted her mother's face with both hands, her soft voice filled with sadness. "We're a family. Shouldn't we discuss things together?"
Deng Qiu wiped away her tears, her wary and unfamiliar gaze shifting to Jiang Yan.
She shielded her daughter behind her and looked at him without any politeness, "You can leave now, you're not welcome in our home."
Jiang Yan opened his mouth, about to explain, but his eyes suddenly noticed a black spot in the corner of the living room, and he silently shut his mouth.
Instead, he went inside and picked up the paper and pen that Gan Su had prepared to start writing.
Deng Qiu wanted to speak, but Jiang Yan pointed to a certain spot, signaling her to shut up.
Deng Qiu frowned, unable to figure out what he was up to.
A moment later, under the scrutinizing gazes of the three people, Jiang Yan handed the note to Deng Qiu. It contained only one sentence:
"Zhizhi, come with me. The riverbank assembly will be safe and sound, I promise you."
Deng Qiu's anger intensified as she read those words.
"Don't even think about it!"
Zhizhi leaned her little head over to look, and could vaguely make out that the handwriting was very beautiful, but for a little kid who couldn't read at all, the line was no different from scribbles.
"What 'gurgling circles'?"
Gan Su leaned close to her ear and repeated the sentence to her.
Zhizhi got even angrier upon hearing this, and tore the note to shreds. "You, get out!"
Jiang Yan's face darkened, and he wrote another line.
"How rude! I'm doing this for your own good. The military dependents' compound isn't safe anymore. If they find me, I'll alert them!"
"Deng Qiu, you're letting me take the child away. The child is innocent in this matter."
Deng Qiu sneered and wrote a sentence on the note as well.
'The child is innocent? How dare you come here and tell us the child is innocent after all the terrible things you've done? If it weren't for you, Jiang Anchao wouldn't be in this mess!'
She could no longer control her emotions. Early this morning, a group of people came and tried to take Jiang Anchao away without saying a word.
Jiang Anchao has never been handcuffed and taken away!
It's all because of him! He wanted to take his daughter away, but he couldn't do it openly, so he started resorting to underhanded tricks!
Jiang Yan wanted to explain, but Deng Qiu didn't want to listen anymore.
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Zhizhi also had an angry face.
Seeing the mother and daughter's hostile attitude, Jiang Yan became angry. He pointed to an inconspicuous black spot in the corner of the living room and then wrote a line of words with great force:
'This is a listening device. Didn't you guys notice it for so long?'
'Also, regarding Jiang Anchao's matter, I meant well!'
Upon seeing these two sentences, Deng Qiu frowned deeply; she was completely stunned.
Her emotions told her that she could no longer trust Jiang Yan, because Jiang Anchao's current situation must be due to Jiang Yan's machinations.
But reason was pulling her back, wanting her to believe Jiang Yan.
She was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
Zhizhi lay on the table, trying to join the conversation, but she couldn't understand a single word.
Finally, pointing to the only word she could understand, she angrily shouted, "What do you mean, 'children are beasts'! Which child is a beast? Explain yourself!"
