Chapter 284: Setbacks



When Zhou Zhixin and Zhao Guohui returned, Scarface was being loaded into an ambulance. Before Zhou Zhixin could ask what was going on, the ambulance had already driven away.

The moment he saw Zhou Zhixin, Zhou Xi was very glad that he didn't leave. This young man was exactly the person he had been thinking about all this time! The second time he saw Zhou Zhixin, Zhou Xi's feelings were even stronger. He had a premonition that no matter whether Zhou Zhixin was the young master of their Zhou family or not, Zhou Zhixin's fate would have many intersections with his in the future.

Zhou Zhixin was also a little surprised to see Zhou Xi. Although his training as an investigator didn't give him a photographic memory, he still had a strong impression of the people he had met.

When Zhou Zhixin first met Zhou Xi in Sanhe Town, Zhou Xi was still dressed like an old farmer. This time, Zhou Xi was wearing a neat woolen cadre uniform, which made Zhou Zhixin a little stunned.

"Young man, nice to meet you again." Zhou Xi nodded at Zhou Zhixin with a smile on his face.

"Old man, it's really you! I thought I recognized the wrong person!" When Zhou Xi greeted him, Zhou Zhixin was sure that the Zhou Xi in front of him was the old farmer he had met in Sanhe Town.

Seeing Zhou Zhixin's surprised expression, Zhou Xi's smile deepened. Zhou Zhixin's face was filled with surprise, but there was no trace of guilt. It seemed that the person who knocked him out in Sanhe Town was not Zhou Zhixin. This young man was no ordinary man! There must be a strong person beside him. You know, Zhou Xi is not an ordinary old man. If anyone could knock him out without knowing it, Zhou Xi would have died countless times.

After Zhou Zhixin learned what had happened from Zhao Yunxiang, he bowed to Zhou Xi again, thanking him for his help. Not everyone in this world had a heart as kind as Zhou Xi. When Zhao Yunxiang and her son were being bullied by Scarface, there were so many onlookers, but only Zhou Xi dared to step forward to help.

Looking at Zhou Zhixin, who looked like General Zhou in his youth, Zhou Xi's heart was filled with emotion. He hoped that God would see that this Zhou Zhixin was really his young master.

Zhou Xi had met several members of Zhou Zhixin's family, and they were all simple and kind, which made him feel very satisfied. You know, when you reach the position of General Zhou, the most feared thing is to have relatives who are not in tune with you and hold you back.

However, Zhou Xi would not reveal any information to Zhou Zhixin before he had thoroughly investigated the situation. Moreover, General Zhou now had Zhou Nianxin at home.

Even if Zhou Zhixin was really General Zhou's grandson, Zhou Xi would not expose him to the public too early. Zhou Nianxin was a ruthless man who had already considered the Zhou family his own. He had been making frequent moves behind General Zhou's back in the past two years. He would never allow anyone to threaten his position.

Zhou Xi said goodbye to Zhou Zhixin with a heavy heart. Before the matter was clear, Zhou Xi could not use the part of the power belonging to the general to investigate Zhou Zhixin, so as not to worry General Zhou.

Zhou Yuanyuan took Wen Ziqing for a stroll for half a day. After returning to the guesthouse, she found out that her mother had been blackmailed in front of the First Department Store. She was so angry that her nose was almost crooked.

After dinner, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't bother waiting until dark. She returned to her room and entered the sea of consciousness. She wanted to work hard, she wanted to practice, she wanted to protect everyone she cared about.

"Master, are you finally here to accompany Xiaoyu?" Xiaoyu was working hard to repair the Rainbow Bridge. Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan, Xiaoyu expressed her happiness.

"Xiao Yu, what kind of magic can I learn now? The kind that can be used for fighting." Zhou Yuanyuan decided that she should learn a real skill or two so that if she had any conflict with others, she would not be helpless.

Although Zhao's martial arts gave Zhou Yuanyuan the strength to knock down two big men, for something like what Zhao Yunxiang encountered today, it would be much easier to deal with it secretly than using fists.

"Master, I'll find it for you." Xiaoyu knew Zhou Yuanyuan's anxiety, and quickly recommended several exercises for Zhou Yuanyuan to choose from.

Zhou Yuanyuan immersed herself in cultivation, which made Zhao Qingshan feel both distressed and proud.

Zhao Qingshan wanted to tell Zhou Yuanyuan not to tire herself out, but he was afraid to disturb her practice. He stood in front of her door for a moment, then turned and walked away. The child was willing to work hard, and as a grandfather, he couldn't hold her back.

After Zhao Qingshan returned to his room, he found Zhao Guohui sitting on the edge of the bed with his head drooping, as if he was thinking about something.

"Guohui, what's wrong? If there's anything you can't figure out, let's talk it over." Zhao Qingshan thought of his son's recent divorce, and his heart ached. Although Zhao Guohui appeared more mature than his peers, he was only twenty-five after all.

A few days ago, Zhao Guohui was taken to the police station for investigation because of the theft of supplies. Although he was released the next day because the case was solved, this incident must have left a big shadow in Zhao Guohui's heart.

In this day and age, being in the police station is a bad thing for everyone. Zhao Guohui was innocent, but rumors spread about him in many different ways. Zhao Guohui resigned because of this, and Zhao Qingshan didn't blame him.

Zhao Qingshan knew Zhao Guohui's thoughts. When Zhao Guohui was the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, he was always thinking of everyone. He had just been in the police station for one day, and most of the employees at the supply and marketing cooperative were badmouthing him. They were also blaming Zhao Guohui for things he hadn't done. For example, Ma, who worked at the tobacco and liquor counter, was in poor health, so Zhao Guohui assigned her to a less demanding job. After Zhao Guohui was arrested, Ma was the first to speak out, saying Zhao Guohui had ulterior motives and had transferred her to the counter because he was attracted by her looks.

Sister Ma had a mouthful of buck teeth, and her appearance was so ugly that even those who bought cigarettes and alcohol couldn't bear to look at her. Although few people believed Sister Ma's words, it was a huge blow to Zhao Guohui. If it weren't for this setback, Zhao Guohui would never have guessed that there was such a vicious person as Sister Ma in the world. Zhao Guohui helped her and was then blamed for it. It was speechless.

Zhao Qingshan had been busy with Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhao Yunxiang's affairs these past few days, and hadn't had a chance to talk to Zhao Guohui properly. Life isn't always smooth sailing, and when faced with setbacks, the biggest fear for young people is being devastated.

"Dad, I want to go to the south with my brother-in-law." Zhao Guohui moved his lips and finally said what was in his heart.

"Going south? Why did you think of going south?" Zhao Qingshan was a little surprised. For people in this era, traveling far away was a difficult thing. N City might be a big city in China, but Qingshan City wasn't bad either. Even if Zhao Guohui wanted to do something, he could still do it in Qingshan City. He didn't have to go all the way south, right?
