Li Ying made her decision very firmly, and Zhou Qi wanted to stop her but didn't know what reason to give.
"What's going on?" Jing Yingyan strode over, his face full of confusion.
"Young Master Jing, please persuade Miss Ying. She wants to see Lu Xingzhou."
"See Lu Xingzhou?" Jing Yingyan frowned.
Li Ying smiled and said, "Lu Xingzhou asked to see me, saying that Hua Qingqing had fallen. Tong Danian and I have discussed it, and he said he would protect my safety."
Jing Yingyan thought for a moment, "Since you and Tong Danian have already discussed it, then go ahead."
What?
Zhou Qi was speechless. He had thought Jing Yingyan would persuade Li Ying not to take the risk, but Jing Shao actually agreed without hesitation.
"Young Master Jing..."
Jing Yingyan raised his hand to signal Zhou Qi: "We must learn to trust them!"
"But what am I going to tell Aunt Yang when she comes back?" Zhou Qi was very anxious.
"Just say that Li Ying has to go out for a while."
Zhou Qi stamped his feet in frustration, but there was nothing he could do!
Li Ying arrived alone at the place designated by Lu Xingzhou.
I got off the bus and went into a dilapidated house.
Sure enough, besides Lu Xingzhou, there were two other men with fierce-looking faces.
Lu Xingzhou was surprised that Li Ying actually dared to come. He stood up and took her hand when she was actually standing in front of him. "You really came?"
Li Ying pulled her hand back: "Tell me, where is Hua Qingqing?"
Lu Xingzhou gestured for the two men to leave.
After everyone left, Lu Xingzhou helped Li Ying sit down by supporting her arm.
"Please sit down and have a cup of tea."
"I am pregnant and cannot drink tea."
Lu Xingzhou's eyes darkened: "Is the child in your belly really Ye Jingchi's?"
"Whether it's right or wrong is none of your business. You said I'd come, tell me where Hua Qingqing went." Li Ying remained calm.
Lu Xingzhou looked at Li Ying and said, "If you had shown your true abilities earlier, why would I have married that woman Rong Ning and betrayed your sincerity?"
Li Ying found it amusing: "Lu Xingzhou, why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Don't you find it disgusting? In your eyes, love is ultimately less important than your usefulness!"
"That's just how it is! Aren't all interactions between people driven by self-interest? Otherwise, why would anyone bother talking to you?" Lu Xingzhou slammed his fist on the table. "I joined the army at sixteen and have been here until now, almost thirty, and I'm still a company commander. And what about Ye Jingchi? Besides his family background, what does he have that I don't? Why is he able to become a regimental commander?"
Lu Xingzhou spoke out all his resentment without hesitation.
He resented the unfairness of the military!
“Lu Xingzhou, you’re always blaming others, but have you ever thought about your own mistakes? Why was Ye Jingchi promoted so quickly? Don’t you look at what he did? You missed such a good opportunity for promotion last National Day, and you didn’t participate in the Self-Defense Forces this time either. Ye Jingchi’s achievements are the result of his hard work, not his family connections!” Li Ying argued forcefully.
"Li Ying, you really care about him, that's why you always speak up for him!"
Lu Xingzhou paced around the room in a rage.
Li Ying knew that he didn't hit her or hurt her because he wanted to take her with him and leave for a foreign country.
This is his mission!
"Lu Xingzhou, what did I say wrong? Let's not talk about the distant past, but just look at the recent past. Where were you during the flood relief efforts at Donghu last year? Where was Ye Jingchi?"
Ye Jingchi didn't miss any opportunity to make a name for himself, while Lu Xingzhou was not only cowardly, but also attributed it all to other people's family background, which was a bit ridiculous.
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore, anyway, his whereabouts are unknown now. Li Ying, come with me, I'll take you to a good place, we'll eat and drink well from now on, and live the best life ever!"
Li Ying was right as expected.
Lu Xingzhou tricked her into coming here so he could take her away. This must have been an order from his superiors. Besides weapons, they also wanted China's traditional Chinese medicine technology.
“Lu Xingzhou, I can go with you, but you must tell me where Hua Qingqing is.”
Lu Xingzhou was overjoyed and grasped Li Ying's hand: "Really? You really want to come with me?"
Li Ying withdrew her hand, her expression indifferent: "For me, it's the same everywhere. Since you're so eager to make amends, I'll give you a chance. But you must promise me that you'll treat the child in my belly as if it were your own."
Lu Xingzhou's lips twitched, but remembering his superior's orders, he had to take Li Ying back, or he would die.
He did need Li Ying's medical skills to benefit himself in the future, and nodded solemnly: "Okay, I promise you! I will treat your child as my own."
"Alright, now I'll ask you, where did the flower fall so gently?"
Lu Xingzhou frowned: "I didn't tie Hua Qingqing up, and I don't know anything about it."
Li Ying stood up, glaring angrily: "Lu Xingzhou, you lied to me?"
"Li Ying, I had no other choice but to do this!"
"Then let me ask you, besides you, who else would be so gentle as to harm a flower?"
Trying to get information out of them.
Lu Xingzhou was wary: "I really don't know, but I'm also very curious about who wants to kidnap Hua Qingqing."
Seeing that Lu Xingzhou didn't seem to be lying, Li Ying dusted off her clothes.
"Tell me, when are we leaving?"
Lu Xingzhou was very suspicious of Li Ying's calm demeanor.
"Li Ying, are you just going to agree to come with me like this?"
"What, if you don't want to, then I'll go back now."
"Wait a minute!" Lu Xingzhou stopped Li Ying. "You're not trying to play tricks on me, are you?"
Li Ying smiled coldly: "Lu Xingzhou, if you think I'm treacherous, then kill me right now."
Lu Xingzhou hesitated, somewhat unable to see through Li Ying's scheme.
Her resolute manner was exactly the same as when she eloped with him three years ago, but why did she still leave with him when she clearly resented him so much?
Is it really just because of Hua Qingqing?
Seeing that Lu Xingzhou was lost in thought, Li Ying gently tapped the teacup in front of her with her fingers.
"Lu Xingzhou, do you know why you always have no hope of promotion? It's because you're too indecisive. You're not thorough enough in being a bad guy, and you're not decisive enough in being a good guy."
These words struck a chord with Lu Xingzhou. Over the years, his indecisiveness had only led him to the position of company commander.
"Okay, let's set off tonight!"
Lu Xingzhou called the person outside in and gave him some instructions.
Then wait to leave in the evening.
Li Ying didn't make a fuss at all and sat quietly. The more she did this, the more uneasy Lu Xingzhou felt.
He stared at Li Ying's face, trying to see if she was truly calm or just pretending, but he couldn't see anything.
Lu Xingzhou only realized today how little he knew about Li Ying.
"Time is up!"
Li Ying suddenly said something, and Lu Xingzhou stood up alertly: "What time is it?"
"It's time to leave! Weren't you going to take me with you? Let's go!"
Lu Xingzhou was puzzled. Why did this woman seem so impatient?
There's definitely a trap!
