When Hu Fei left, I had only just learned of Jiangbei's existence and didn't even know Su Mu, so it's normal for Hu Fei to be puzzled at that moment.
Cui Xiaofei looked at me with confusion and asked, "Brother Lu, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
I said anxiously, "I can't explain what happened right now, but I have to get back to Mingzhu City immediately. I'm really afraid something will happen!"
Halfway through his meal, Hu Fei looked puzzled and asked, "Are you really in such a hurry?"
I nodded hurriedly and said, "I'm really in a hurry!"
Hu Fei swallowed the half-chewed rice in his mouth, handed the remaining half to Cui Xiaofei, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's go now, let's set off."
I was surprised to see Hu Fei agree so readily, but that wasn't the key point. The key point was that I had to rush back immediately to check on the situation at the research institute.
Cui Xiaofei, growing anxious, said, "Brother Lu, are you just leaving like this? Brother Du Xu hasn't even seen you yet!"
I looked at Cui Xiaofei and said, "Please say hello to him for me. I'll come back if I have time later. See you then. I have some very important things to do right now. I'll come back to see you after I finish my business."
There's nothing wrong in Jiajiang, and Du Xu and the others are all alive and well, so there's no need for me to stay here any longer. The most important thing right now is the research institute. Sister Jing and the others are still there, and I haven't heard from them for two days and one night now. They must be very worried.
If Zhang Jianzhou has really returned to the central town, then the research institute must have already been occupied by Ye Qian's men.
I have to go back and check on the situation to find out if Sister Jing and the others are alive or dead.
Hu Fei led me to his Harley, gestured for me to get on, and then asked, "It's a bit far from Jiajiang to Mingzhu. Tell me what happened on the way? Why were you riding around alone on a motorcycle in such heavy rain last night?"
I swallowed hard, my head still throbbing, my brow furrowed. After a moment's thought, I said, "This is a long story..."
"Then let's get straight to the point," Hu Fei said decisively.
I nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll put it simply."
Afterwards, I told him about what happened in the central town and about Zhang Jianzhou, including what happened yesterday. Although I spoke in a very disorganized way, Hu Fei understood.
After listening, Hu Fei asked, "What's the name of the guy who locked you in the pharmacy?"
I said, "Zhang Jianzhou, you probably don't know him."
"Zhang Jianzhou?" Hu Fei was a little surprised when he heard this name.
I asked curiously, "Do you know him?"
Hu Fei didn't answer me; instead, he turned the car around and drove back.
We have now reached the edge of Jiajiang City, but Hu Fei suddenly turned the car around and stopped heading towards the outskirts of Jiajiang City, instead heading back towards the school.
I didn't quite understand why he was doing this. "Hey, Hu Fei, what are you doing? I'm going to Mingzhu City! Why are you turning back?"
Hu Fei said, "Don't worry, you'll find out when we get back."
My head is throbbing, and I can't refuse even if I want to, since Hu Fei is driving. If I dare to move, I'll just fall off.
Not long after, just over ten minutes later, Hu Fei led me back to the school.
I don't understand why he did that.
Could it be that he forgot something and had to rush back to get it?
He drove the Harley back to the entrance of the school dormitory. Cui Xiaofei, who was originally in the dormitory building, rushed back when she heard the Harley's noise and asked us, "Brother Lu, why are you back again?"
I frowned and shook my head, indicating that I didn't know.
Hu Fei smiled slightly and said, "Call your boss out. Didn't your boss want to see him?"
Hu Fei and Du Xu did not know each other.
I find it strange what his purpose was in doing this.
Cui Xiaofei looked puzzled, not knowing what was going on. She nodded blankly and ran to call Du Xu.
I stood in front of Hu Fei and asked, "Hu Fei? What do you want? Didn't you say you'd take me to Mingzhu City after you finished? Why are you back?"
Hu Fei chuckled, patted my shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you'll know once that guy surnamed Du comes out. There's no need to rush. And I can assure you, there won't be any problems with your place in Mingzhu City. We can go there a couple of days later without any issues."
Is it okay to go a couple of days later?
I looked at Hu Fei, puzzled: "How do you know there won't be any problems in Mingzhu City?"
Hu Fei raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything more.
Within minutes, Cui Xiaofei brought Du Xu to the dormitory entrance. When Du Xu saw me, he rushed over and hugged me.
My head hurts a lot right now, and my whole body is sore and weak. When he hugged me like that, I had no strength left.
"You're finally awake. Are you alright?" Du Xu asked me with a smile.
I shook my head and said, "It's nothing, just a bit of a headache."
After saying this, I looked at Hu Fei. Du Xu had already arrived, so he should tell me why he had left me here, right?
Hu Fei smiled and said to Du Xu, "Brother, take him to see the guy you caught yesterday, otherwise Lu Xiaonan will go crazy."
"The guy we captured?" I looked at Du Xu with a puzzled expression.
Du Xu smiled and nodded, saying, "Oh, I understand. Xiao Nan, come with me."
I followed Du Xu with a puzzled look to the last dormitory building. After entering, we arrived at the door of a dormitory room on the top floor, the fifth floor.
I looked at them with suspicion, wondering who Du Xu had locked up here.
Du Xu unlocked the door with his key. I stood in the doorway and saw a guy handcuffed to the bed inside.
This guy looks familiar.
It was none other than Zhang Jianzhou!
To be honest, I was very surprised to see him here. I was really surprised. I never expected him to be here.
What's going on? Wasn't this guy supposed to have run back to the central town? How did he suddenly appear here?
The moment Zhang Jianzhou, who was locked in the dormitory, saw me, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he even exclaimed, "How is this possible! Lu Xiaonan! How could you be here!"
I ignored him and looked at Hu Fei and Du Xu with a puzzled expression, asking, "What's going on? How did he get here?"
Upon hearing my words, Hu Fei said, "So you know him? He's the Zhang Jianzhou you know?"
I nodded.
Du Xu said, "It's quite a coincidence. Yesterday evening, when I was rushing back from another city, I ran into this guy on the road. We had a little conflict, and then we just kidnapped him. I saw that he had a lot of weapons in his car, so I didn't bother with him. I planned to ask him what he knew later. I just didn't expect that you would know him."
