During the years when Zhang Landi was missing, it was Zhou Zhicheng who supported her.
No matter if he stole or robbed her, he would not let her go hungry.
After Zhang Landi abandoned her, she hated Zhang Landi for a long time. Until she grew up and repeated the days when Zhang Landi paid off her debts, she no longer hated Zhang Landi.
She began to hate Zhou Zhicheng again, hating him for gambling, why he couldn't quit, and why he didn't go to work and earn money.
But when she saw him moving cement at the construction site to buy her a birthday cake, he suffered an epileptic seizure due to heatstroke and lay in the scorching sun like a dead dog, with no one paying any attention to him.
I saw him jump into the mud and water hundreds of meters deep at the construction site to retrieve the drill, I saw him pick up bones for the relocation of graves, I saw him doing things that others were unwilling to do, just so that she could wear a beautiful dress when school started.
She couldn't hate him anymore.
Then she began to hate herself.
I hate myself for being born in such a family, I hate myself for having such parents, and I hate myself for not being born into a good family.
In this way, she was depressed and resentful for a long time. She didn't like socializing, had no friends, always kept to herself, and kept making money.
When did she let go of her resentment and reconcile with herself? She didn't know, perhaps, she had never reconciled from the beginning to the end.
Zhou Qian put away his wandering thoughts and tried to be rational. "Master Chen, five million is not a small amount. Can you give me a few days?"
Mr. Chen leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed, smoking a cigar. "Three days. I can't guarantee that he will be alive after three days."
"Where's the interest?" Lu Jing, who had been invisible all this time, suddenly asked.
Master Chen was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Lu Jing and Zhou Qian respectively, and said with a meaningful smile, "The interest is naturally calculated separately."
Because of Lu Jing's words that he had to pay an extra interest, Zhou Qian wanted to kill him and glared at Lu Jing fiercely without any hesitation.
Use your eyes to scold him: No one will think you are dumb if you don’t speak.
"I want to see my father." Zhou Qian put forward the condition.
Master Chen frowned, looking unhappy. He glanced at Lu Jing next to him. Lu Jing was playing with a card in his hand and consciously became invisible.
After a moment of silence, Master Chen winked at his men beside him and said, "Take her there."
"Come with me." The subordinate next to him understood and stood up.
"Thank you." Zhou Qian stood up and thanked him. She didn't expect it to be so smooth.
…
Since only one person could visit, Lin Chenyi naturally did not go with him, but Lu Jing stayed by his side all the time.
"Why are you following me?" Zhou Qian asked unhappily.
Lu Jing put his hands in his trouser pockets and replied nonchalantly, "Only you can visit, not me?"
Zhou Qian had nothing to say and just thought that Lu Jing was here to redeem someone.
I walked all the way to the place where people were detained. When I came out of the elevator, I smelled a dark, damp and musty smell.
Very pungent.
It is also hard to imagine that there are such dirty places inside a cruise ship that looks luxurious and gorgeous.
"ah!"
Suddenly there was a roar, Zhou Qian was startled and instinctively dodged backwards, but accidentally bumped into a strong chest.
Then she heard a sneer from above her head. She turned around and met Lu Jing's playful eyes.
"You even dare to get on a gambling boat and get so scared by just a scream?" Lu Jing said sarcastically.
"It's none of your business." Zhou Qian came out of his arms embarrassedly.
"It's none of my business, why are you hiding in my arms?"
"I was reacting instinctively."
Lu Jing draped his arm over her shoulders and smiled even more broadly, "That was my instinctive reaction. It turns out I feel so safe with you."
Zhou Qian angrily shook off his arm and explained seriously, "What I mean is, no matter who was standing behind me just now, I would instinctively move away. This is the reaction when people are frightened. Understand?"
"He was behind you just now." Lu Jing was referring to the person who brought them here, and added, "Closer to you."
"..." Zhou Qian only understood that between the stranger and Lu Jing, she preferred Lu Jing.
He said awkwardly, "That's because... I'm a little more familiar with you."
The sound behind was very soft, but Lu Jing still heard it.
Lu Jing suddenly moved closer to her and asked, "Tell me clearly, where do you know her?"
Zhou Qian glared at him unhappily.
Lu Jing withdrew his body, stood up straight, and said lazily, "Yes, I am quite familiar with her, especially physically."
“…”Shut up!
Zhou Qian ignored him and looked in the direction of the scream. He saw a man locked in an iron cage, banging against it frantically.
The man kept shouting, "I can't stand it anymore... I can't stand it anymore... Kill me, kill me..."
Zhou Qian frowned tightly. It was obvious that this was a place specifically for torturing people.
After going around several corners, the other party finally opened an iron door. The stench that hit him in the face made him cover his mouth and nose.
Zhou Qian also held her breath suddenly. At the same time, she found that Lu Jing had disappeared without a trace.
Of course, she didn't bother to care.
The other party shouted inside, "Zhou Zhicheng, come out."
Zhou Qian couldn't help but clench his hands hanging at his side. He wanted to see her, but he also didn't want to see her. The two conflicting emotions were entangled.
A thin figure walked out of the dark door. Perhaps because of the cold, his body was hunched over and he walked out slowly.
Zhou Qian felt a sharp pain in her chest when she saw the disheveled figure. Zhou Zhicheng hadn't expected to see her, and the moment he looked up, he was stunned.
"Xiao, Xiao Qian." Zhou Zhicheng's voice was trembling. Perhaps he felt ashamed, and he buried his head deeply.
