Chapter 147: Not responsive to soft or hard tactics
"Impossible." Chen Zhuyi immediately retorted, with a hint of nervousness in her eyes that she herself had not noticed.
"He's just out on a mission now. You two have no grudges against each other, so why curse him?"
She even complained a little. No matter what, Huo Jinzhi was now contributing to the country. Even if Ye Xumei didn't like him very much, she shouldn't say such things.
"I didn't mean it." Ye Xumei apologized proactively and stopped talking, but his eyes were full of sadness.
If there was no problem with the people on the island, how could Cheng Zhuoyue have heard the news?
Recently, Huo Jinzhi was the only one who went out on a mission. When Ye Xumei went to work the next day, he still had a bitter face.
"You look so sad. Is there some big case today?" Cheng Zhuoyue came in, biting a bun. Seeing Ye Xumei's expression, he sighed and couldn't figure out what was worth her worrying about.
Seeing him so calm and relaxed, Ye Xumei opened her mouth, gritted her teeth, and asked, "Have you received any information about Huo Jinzhi recently?"
"Chen Zhuyi is anxious? I think so. It wasn't long after they confirmed their relationship that Huo Jinzhi went out on a mission. She's quite capable for holding back until now to ask."
Cheng Zhuoyue raised his eyebrows and asked back, and even sighed, but did not explain his words directly.
Recently, he did receive some bad news, but his superiors also told him not to speak out in a hurry.
With Huo Jinzhi's ability, there would be no danger even if he left for a short time!
"Just tell me something frankly. What's the point of lamenting about all this right now?" Ye Xumei stopped him from trying to change the subject.
She even stared at Cheng Zhuoyue sharply, not missing any slight change in expression on his face.
This is like trying Cheng Zhuoyue as a criminal!
"There's not much news. After all, they are making contributions to the country. We know too much and should be careful not to be targeted." Cheng Zhuoyue turned his head and touched the tip of his nose again. The subconscious little movement clearly showed that he was lying.
Ye Xumei stood directly in front of him, staring at him with narrowed eyes. When Cheng Zhuoyue thought she was going to threaten him, Ye Xumei grabbed his arm and shook it gently as if acting coquettishly.
"Master, I'm doing this for my good friend. You and Captain Huo are good friends. Can you bear to see his lover so anxious?"
After saying this, Ye Xumei felt goosebumps all over his body.
Cheng Zhuoyue jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, retreated three steps, and gestured with his hands, as if to say: "No matter who you are, get off my apprentice!"
Usually Ye Xumei is rather cold and doesn't like to take the lead in anything, but at this moment he is able to do this for Chen Zhuyi.
"I'm just acting coquettishly. Some people say that girls with softer personalities are more successful. Don't you think so?" Ye Xumei frowned and was still reflecting.
As a woman, she should be good at taking advantage of her own strengths.
In the eyes of others, they are generally synonymous with weakness, but even thin girls can burst out with strength that these men can't imagine!
"This direction is indeed good, but it is still not recommended to do this frequently. It is not good for our police station." Cheng Zhuoyue quickly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Ye Xumei still wanted to get closer to him, he quickly stretched out his hand to stop him before explaining.
"I don't know much, but Huo Jinzhi handled this matter very smoothly."
"I just got injured while doing some work. I originally planned to be back early, but now I have to delay it for a while."
People like them are bound to get injured every time they go out on a mission, but it’s no big deal and they can recover quickly.
Huo Jinzhi is indeed worried about Chen Zhuyi now. He even keeps his injury a secret from himself and is unwilling to return to the island to recuperate.
"Is the injury serious?" Ye Xumei saw that he said it so lightly, but he didn't believe that the matter was that simple, so he frowned and asked.
"I don't know the situation. They just briefly mentioned it to us. Even if someone like Captain Huo was really transferred somewhere and had some secret mission, there's no need to report it to us."
Cheng Zhuoyue was very clear about his position. If there was anything, it would be best to go directly to Commander Zhou. He could only make guesses and had no idea of the situation.
"If the injury is not serious, he will definitely be back soon." Ye Xumei was worried and even more hesitant about whether to tell Chen Zhuyi this information.
On the other side of the island, Huo Jinzhi was lying in the ward, smelling the disinfectant, with a needle in his hand receiving fluids.
"Xiao Huo, you did a great job this time. Have you ever thought about going home?" A man walked up to Huo Jinzhi with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and there was some appreciation in his tone.
With Huo Jinzhi's ability, he could have been transferred back to Beijing long ago. Unfortunately, he has been unwilling to agree, which makes it difficult for everyone to ignore his personal wishes.
The motherland is in need of manpower now. No matter where they are, they are all working hard for the country!
"I'm at home all the time." Huo Jinzhi's voice was calm. He put his own family aside and cared about everyone, even ensuring the safety of Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao.
He had no regrets about staying here for so long. Instead, he thought the scenery of this island was beautiful. Now he met Chen Zhuyi again.
Seeing that he was unyielding, Zheng Mingguo's face was filled with helplessness. He shook his head and said, "That being said, the island is not as good as Beijing after all, and there are not as many opportunities."
How many people are trying their best to get to the center, but Huo Jinzhi is afraid of being involved in this matter and keeps avoiding it. This is not a good idea!
"Your sister has been waiting for you to come back. Don't you want to cherish the friendship you had when you were young?" Zheng Mingguo spoke again, even bringing up his own daughter.
As one of the mischievous monkeys who had been raised together since childhood, Huo Jinzhi also thought of his sister, but he still shook his head firmly: "Ling'er has her own life now, and so do I."
"That girl is so stubborn about the childhood engagement you casually arranged for her that she still refuses to get married. Uncle thought that if you go back, you could at least help persuade her." Zheng Mingguo said with a sad face. His daughter just returned from studying abroad some time ago.
I don’t know how those foreigners taught her, but Zheng Linger felt that she could save Huo Jinzhi and didn’t care about his past at all!
