Chapter 109 I thought you were settling a personal score.
Yang Zeyan is back. This time he wasn't covered in mud, but he wasn't exactly clean either.
"Is everything arranged?" Du Ruoxia asked with concern as soon as Yang Zeyan entered.
Yang Zeyan nodded, "Yes, we'll take the train to Kyoto tomorrow morning."
Du Ruoxia remembered the two tickets she had asked the dean for, "but I only prepared two tickets to Yuyang County!"
"It's alright, I have a special one," Yang Zeyan said calmly.
Du Ruoxia nodded with her lips pursed, "Alright then!"
She figured that if Yang Zeyan was on official business, he probably wouldn't be in the same carriage as her.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you asleep?" Yang Zeyan asked with concern when he saw that she looked unwell.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about what gift to buy to meet your family. I can't go to your family empty-handed, that would be too impolite!" Du Ruoxia yawned.
“No need, they don’t need it. Just be humane!” Yang Zeyan said calmly.
"No, I won't see them then!" Du Ruoxia said firmly.
Yang Zeyan had no choice but to agree to Du Ruoxia's suggestion to go to Kyoto to buy a gift first.
Du Ruoxia thought that the money in her pocket was enough to buy gifts for several people!
The next morning, Yang Zeyan left in a hurry as before, agreeing to meet Du Ruoxia on the train.
Du Ruoxia and Wang Hu boarded the train as agreed, but Yang Zeyan was nowhere to be seen.
Du Ruoxia thought she could finally have a peaceful train ride, but in reality, she didn't get her wish.
Du Ruoxia stared in astonishment as she saw the Zhao family members being carried up on a stretcher.
"That person isn't from the Zhao family, so how did he get on the train with a child? Is the child mobile?" Wang Hu asked, puzzled.
Section Chief Zhao was also with them. Not only did Du Ruoxia not understand, but Wang Hu also frowned as he looked at them.
The answer to whether the Zhao family's child can be moved is, of course, no. This is something not only Du Ruoxia knows, but Dean Liu certainly knows as well!
"Can Section Chief Zhao leave Xilan City now?" Du Ruoxia asked Wang Hu, looking at Section Chief Zhao who was walking hurriedly.
Wang Hu's brows furrowed into a deep line. "Something else must have happened, and the people escorting them aren't ordinary soldiers."
Du Ruoxia looked outside and, sure enough, a group of people followed them onto the train.
After the Zhao family left, Du Ruoxia saw the doctor who had operated on the Zhao family's child get into the car as well, and he clearly didn't look too good either.
Du Ruoxia thought that the doctor must be happy, at least he could return to Beijing ahead of time, but since he didn't participate in the rescue, it seemed that he didn't gain any benefits.
"Ask Yang Zeyan and the others which carriage they're in later," Du Ruoxia said earnestly.
"Don't worry, they can't move," Wang Hu reassured her, noticing her worry.
Du Ruoxia was immediately delighted upon hearing this; this was being escorted back to the capital with the courtesy due to a prisoner.
“The doctor must be very busy,” Du Ruoxia said confidently, since no one in the Zhao family was taking care of the patient.
“This old lady should be at the Xilan City Police Station, but I don’t know why she came back to Beijing with me,” Wang Hu said calmly.
Du Ruoxia suddenly realized that Wang Hu had brought up the matter of Old Lady Zhao again!
"It doesn't matter, we'll just sit where we want, no need to waste time on them," Du Ruoxia said indifferently.
Anyway, she has achieved her goal, and no matter what happens in the future, Old Lady Zhao will remember not to offend people casually.
Du Ruoxia lost interest in continuing to look after not seeing Yang Zeyan for a long time. There were many soldiers on the train, and Du Ruoxia's carriage was full of passengers.
"Chen Jiwei?" Wang Hu suddenly asked.
Du Ruoxia immediately looked up and saw that it was indeed Chen Jianping.
"Wasn't he supposed to be in charge of that case? Why did he come back to Beijing with Section Chief Zhao?" Du Ruoxia was astonished.
Wang Hu shook his head in confusion; he couldn't understand the situation either!
“Yesterday, Commissioner Chen didn’t mention returning to Beijing together. I’m afraid Section Chief Zhao’s matter is even more complicated!” Wang Hu said with certainty.
Du Ruoxia wanted to say something more, but seeing that people were already looking at them curiously, he could only wink at Wang Hu to change the subject.
"Let's all wait for Yang Zeyan. Once he arrives, everything will become clear!"
At first, Du Ruoxia and Wang Hu were relatively calm in the carriage.
Half a day later, the carriages became busier, so Du Ruoxia simply went to sleep and waited for Yang Zeyan to come over.
However, according to Wang Hu, Yang Zeyan might not be able to come; she guessed it was for the sake of the Zhao family.
Du Ruoxia guessed that the doctor came up with everyone because he was confident; otherwise, it would be really not appropriate to move a patient who had just completed surgery after such a long time.
After taking a nap, it was already dark when someone brought over a boxed lunch. Du Ruoxia knew without a doubt that Yang Zeyan had ordered it.
"Wang Hu, let's go downstairs and buy some food next!" Du Ruoxia suggested.
She figured the Zhao family couldn't be moved around easily now, so she wasn't afraid of running into them when she went downstairs to buy things.
However, Du Ruoxia thought that it didn't matter even if they saw it. She had already done more than enough by not urging the old lady to stop framing her. If she came to bother her again, she wouldn't mind sending her back to jail!
More people got off the train this time than when they arrived, probably because many of them were going to Beijing and their living conditions weren't too bad.
Du Ruoxia casually weighed out two jin of sunflower seeds and nuts, which made Wang Hu stare in disbelief.
"Isn't this too much?" Wang Hu reminded Du Ruoxia, as they couldn't keep eating all the way.
"No, we'll run out of food quickly if we keep eating our way to Kyoto!" Du Ruoxia said casually.
Wang Hu wanted to remind her, but seeing her determined look, he shut his mouth.
Du Ruoxia bought two jin of batanmu from a dried goods vendor, and when she turned around, she saw Old Lady Zhao on the train.
The other person was looking at her with hostility, as if she were her enemy. Du Ruoxia scoffed and then gave Old Lady Zhao a smile.
Grandma Zhao became even more agitated and tried to get down by hitting the glass window. Her actions caught the attention of the soldiers nearby, and two of them immediately went up to stop her!
"She's probably gone mad, thinking you're taking revenge for someone else's sake," Wang Hu said coldly from the side.
Du Ruoxia nodded. Old Mrs. Zhao was the kind of person who would never look for the reasons within herself. She had taken such a big fall this time but still did not repent. She probably wouldn't have the chance to be so arrogant again.
"Are they guarding them separately?" Du Ruoxia asked, puzzled.
Wang Hu shook his head, "I don't know, it's all arranged by the organization. There should be someone taking care of the children."
Du Ruoxia couldn't see the woman from the Zhao family, nor the little girl, and even Section Chief Zhao was nowhere to be seen. This was the only reason she could think of.
“But it’s better for them to be kept separate than to be kept together,” Du Ruoxia thought, feeling fortunate for the guards, considering the Zhao family’s temperament.
Du Ruoxia put this little incident out of her mind and went straight back to her carriage to eat sunflower seeds.
But she was interrupted after only one stop; Yang Zeyan returned.
He looked at her with a serious expression, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself. Du Ruoxia looked at him with surprise but remained silent.
"I need your help with a little problem," Yang Zeyan said, frowning.
