Angry? That word sounds unfamiliar, perhaps. Seeing that man lying on top of Luo Jiu, she was so agitated she wanted to kill him.
I can't even imagine what it would have been like to meet Luo Jiu if I hadn't gotten there or had been a step too late.
Will she still be the same girl, with a glimmer in her eyes, timidly asking, "Are you angry?"
"Never mind... How did you know I was kidnapped by Zhou Ming and brought here today?"
Xu Shaojun's voice was a little hoarse as he said, "I went to the police station and happened to run into Shi Zixi, who was there to report a case with your hat."
"oh."
Luo Jiu understood and nodded knowingly.
"How...are you going to thank me?"
Xu Shaojun asked again. He was stunned after the words left his mouth. He hadn't thought anything through when he said those words; he didn't know how they could have just come out like that.
"Then... I'll treat you to dinner."
Luo Jiu was also taken aback, not expecting Xu Shaojun to ask her that question, and gave a somewhat unexpected answer.
"Want to eat?"
Xu Shaojun's slender fingers tapped rhythmically between his legs, his eyes half-closed, as if he were thinking about something.
Silence fell over the car again.
Luo Jiu took a towel and slowly wiped away the bloodstains Zhou Ming had left on her. The red blood was disgusting.
Feeling Zhou Ming's aura all over her body was driving Luo Jiu crazy.
However, suddenly remembering something, she said to Xu Shaojun:
"I heard Zhou Ming say that the people who attacked Dilemen last night didn't seem to be just antisocial thugs. It seemed like they had a specific purpose..."
So... Zhou Ming must know something.
Upon hearing this, Xu Shaojun opened his eyes, which were now clear and bright.
Just as I suspected. Those who wanted to assassinate me and give the commander a hard time must have been some old forces in Shanghai's officialdom.
In a city as vast as Shanghai, the power structure is incredibly complex. How could someone who became a landlord in Shanghai not have connections with local officials?
"Are you listening?" Luo Jiu asked.
Xu Shaojun turned and glanced at her, saying, "Zhou Ming won't let you off so easily, but he also won't go so far as to publicize this matter so widely. So, you should be careful lately..."
Luo Jiu nodded and replied, "I understand."
"you……"
Xu Shaojun originally wanted to ask if he wanted to come and hide at his place for a while, but then he felt that his idea was a bit unbelievable.
Coming here alone to rescue someone was already unexpected enough. This thought made Xu Shaojun fall into deep thought. Why had he wanted to protect her once, twice?
Before he could figure it out, reason told him that it wasn't the right time.
Luo Jiu was exhausted after a day of fright. As if she hadn't heard what Xu Shaojun hadn't finished saying, she leaned against the window, lowered her head, and quietly fell asleep.
Faint bloodstains remained on her small, palm-sized face. Her smooth, black curly hair was completely unrecognizable after this incident, with a few strands of bangs sticking up and fluttering in the wind.
Luo Jiu was completely wrapped in Xu Shaojun's green cloak, looking petite and weak, which made people feel sorry for her.
"Lieutenant Lin... escort Miss Luo home."
Xu Shaojun only dared to turn his head to examine her closely after confirming that she was asleep.
I glanced at it, then glanced at it again.
Seeing a few stray hairs flying everywhere, he resisted the urge to reach out and ruffle them. He spoke to the adjutant in the front row with utter indifference.
