Chapter 042: Secretly in Love with Her



"Boss, have you seen the woman in this portrait?" Captain Luo led them straight to the funeral shop that Shen Hongxing mentioned.

The shop owner took the portrait.

At first glance, he recognized the headscarf of the woman in the portrait, "Officer, I'm not sure if I've seen this woman before, but I've seen a woman wearing a headscarf this morning!"

First he poured Captain Luo a glass of water, and then the shop owner slowly said, "Officer, on Ghost Festival, there were a lot of people coming to our funeral shop to buy paper money and treasures, but this woman left a deep impression on me. She didn't say anything at the time, she just stood in that corner and looked at a little girl in red clothes!"

"The little girl didn't know what was going on. When she saw the woman, the paper money and treasures in her hand fell on her. Later, the woman in the headscarf walked up to the girl in red and said something. The girl in red gave her ten yuan and didn't even ask for change. She also said that she was late and had to go to the toilet!"

“That’s right!”

The boss suddenly thought of Shen Hongxing, "A quarter of an hour later, another little girl came to look for the girl in red. After I told her that the girl in red wanted to use the toilet, the girl left through the back door like crazy!"

Sure enough, it was exactly as Shen Hongxing said.

Captain Luo walked to the door himself and found the abandoned public toilet not far behind the store.

"Thank you, boss. If you remember any details later, you can go to the Criminal Investigation Team to find me. My name is Luo Jing!"

Captain Luo walked into the funeral shop and ordered his men, "You will post a reward notice in this area. No matter who reports the clues of the woman wearing a headscarf, they will be rewarded 10 yuan!"

During the Ghost Festival, generally people don't go out unless necessary.

It was concluded that the woman with the headscarf lived nearby, and it was very likely that she came to the funeral shop to buy some sacrificial items and happened to meet Cao Hongxia.

After thinking for a while, he instructed another team member, "Now ask her to go to the station or the dock and squat. Once the reward notice is posted, this woman will have nowhere to hide and she will definitely run away!"

"And all the roads leading to the next door are guarded!"

"놆, Captain!"

Night falls.

Shen Hongxing was lying in the guesthouse.

She wanted to return to the abandoned ship on the beach, but the place was too small for the criminal investigation team to enter.

Captain Luo booked a room for her in the guesthouse opposite the police station.

She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Judging from the time, Xu Shuangshuang and the others should have settled down in the hospital.

what to do?

She really wanted to make a phone call to ask about Hongxia's situation.

But communications are not well developed now.

The news is completely blocked.

“Boom boom boom!”

There was a knock on the door, "Miss Shen, Chief Lu said he wants to see you!"

놆Grandpa Lu.

Shen Hongxing didn't expect that in such an underdeveloped era, her story would spread so quickly.

After opening the door, Lu Ping'an supported Mr. Lu and stood outside the door.

She didn't even look at Lu Ping'an.

"Grandpa Lu, why are you here?" As she spoke, she had already helped Grandpa Lu into the room.

Lu Ping'an followed in, but was stopped outside the door by her, "Just wait outside!"

She wanted to close the door, but Lu Ping'an held it with his hand.

놛 stopped her from closing the door, his tone still tough, "It's already this time, Shen Hongxing, are you still going to make trouble?"

Make trouble?

You actually said she was making trouble?

Shen Hongxing slammed the door shut.

"Hiss..." Lu Ping'an didn't expect that she would really do it, and his hand was clamped!

Shen Hongxing turned around and went back to Mr. Lu. She lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong. "I'm sorry, Grandpa Lu, I embarrassed you!"

Everyone knows her relationship with the Lu family.

When others scolded her before, they would always say that Mr. Lu was blind.

"Silly girl, Qingshan has just told me about your situation. You really didn't disappoint me. Good job! If it were you, you would have saved your friend's life at all costs!"

“Grandpa Lu!”

Shen Hongxing shed tears. No matter in the past life or the present life, Grandpa Lu would always be so good to her.

The two chatted for a long time, and the old man looked at Shen Hongxing with a loving face and asked, "Girl, is there anything I can help you with now?"

This is the old man's only granddaughter.

The old man's lifeblood.

No matter what, I will try my best to save her.

Shen Hongxing said in a trembling voice, "Grandpa Lu, if you really want to help, can you help me call Uncle Lu when you return to the compound? I want to know if Hongxia is still alive!"

She was alone in this empty room, and every second was so hard to endure.

"Okay, I'll call you as soon as I get back. You eat well first, and when there's news, I'll let Ping'an tell you!" The old man glanced at the untouched food on the table.

It seems that this girl really cares about her friend!

"Thank you, Grandpa Lu!"

Lu Ping'an helped the old man leave the guesthouse again.

Shen Jianguo and his wife, as well as Shen Jiaojiao, were waiting outside the guesthouse. When they saw the old man and Lu Ping'an coming, they crowded around them and asked, "How is it? Is Hongxing okay now? Has she been tortured?"

Mr. Lu glared at Shen Jianguo and said, "Do you think the members of the Criminal Investigation Team are all gangsters?"

Shen Jianguo shrank his neck timidly and dared not speak again.

Lu Pingan was talking to them from behind.

The old man didn't want to pay attention to them and walked towards the car with his crutches.

More than ten minutes later, the old man came to the communication room of the agency compound and called the telephone specialist, "Connect me to the office of Commander Lu of the Haicheng Military Region!"

"놆, old chief!"

The call was quickly connected.

"dad!"

Master Lu asked quickly, "Jiaoyang, Hongxing asked you to call her. She wants to know if the injured girl is still alive?"

"Alive and yet not alive!"

The old man was puzzled, "What do you mean by alive and not alive?"

"Cao Hongxia is seriously injured. Because of the massive bleeding, multiple organs have already shown signs of failure. Several military experts have tried their best to save her. Whether she can survive depends on tonight!"

"Is that so?" The old man lowered his eyes.

It seems that the situation is really bad.

It's such a pity that he is in his twenties!

He said to Lu Jiaoyang in a deep voice, "Jiaoyang, I know that you are under a lot of scrutiny in this position and cannot violate even the slightest discipline, but Hongxing is your uncle Shen's only granddaughter, so you have to do everything you can to help her, okay?"

"Dad, don't worry, I won't ignore her!" Lu Jiaoyang promised word for word.

The girl whom I have secretly liked for such a long time, even if she throws away this military uniform, I will never abandon her.

In this life, if I hadn't loved her, I wouldn't have gotten married or had children.

놛Devote yourself wholeheartedly to the country.
