General Zhou said, "This is a troublesome matter," referring to Ouyang Xin's kidnapping of He Shumin. He Shumin was a prominent figure in Kyoto, and her inexplicable disappearance would surely cause a great deal of disturbance in Kyoto.
Ouyang Xin honestly explained to General Zhou what he had done in the past few hours, and even did not hide from General Zhou the fact that he was planning to mobilize the army to surround the office building.
General Zhou was stunned by Ouyang Xin's audacity. He hadn't known Ouyang Xin had such a violent side. In General Zhou's eyes, Ouyang Xin had always been simple-minded yet shrewd.
"General, I have caused you trouble. Please punish me!" Ouyang Xin knew that his actions this time had caused great trouble to General Zhou. If it was known by someone with ulterior motives, Ouyang Xin's act of mobilizing the army would be a handle for others to attack General Zhou.
General Zhou patted Ouyang Xin's shoulder, his face as gloomy as water.
How could General Zhou not know Ouyang Xin's unwavering loyalty? Everything Ouyang Xin did was for his own safety. If Zhou Jinyu pushed Ouyang Xin out to take the blame for his own reputation and future, he wouldn't be Zhou Jinyu anymore.
To be honest, if General Zhou hadn't been so strong, Ouyang Xin's guess might have come true.
General Zhou's heart was filled with rage as he recalled how he had nearly capsized in the gutter. General Zhou's dislike of contention didn't mean he was willing to be treated like a prey. Ever since He Shumin attacked him, the relationship between General Zhou and He Shumin had become antagonistic.
No matter how big a mess Ouyang Xin made, Zhou Jinyu would cover it up. Not for the sake of face, but to avoid disappointing those who had their best interests at heart.
General Zhou is not the kind of person who would just wash his neck and wait for others to kill him. Those who wanted him dead in the past have died before him.
However, now was not the time to kill He Shumin. Ouyang Xin had arrested He Shumin, and two investigators from the Kyoto Guard had witnessed it. If someone accidentally told others about it, and He Shumin hadn't appeared in public, even a fool would know it was Ouyang Xin's doing, and he would definitely face imprisonment.
General Zhou was about to ask Ouyang Xin to secretly release He Shumin, but he had to be careful not to let He Shumin guess who he was. This made things a bit difficult. He Shumin was now imprisoned in the basement of General Zhou's house. Ouyang Xin didn't think too much when he arrested him. He just stuffed He Shumin into the car and brought him back. Because he didn't have time to interrogate him, he tied He Shumin up in the basement. Now where should they release him? The police in Kyoto City have already started looking for him everywhere. He Shumin has become a hot potato. Keeping him is a ready-made handle. It is impossible to release him secretly.
General Zhou was just thinking about finding a more perfect solution when Zhou Yuanyuan's voice echoed in his mind: "Grandpa Zeng, let me handle He Shumin's matter!" Zhou Yuanyuan felt that it was time to let General Zhou know a little about her own strength. Among those He Shumin had plotted against, Zhou Yuanyuan was also involved. If Zhou Yuanyuan handled the aftermath, she would definitely do a better job than General Zhou.
Yuanyuan woke up? General Zhou was delighted, then looked around but didn't see Zhou Yuanyuan.
Why is Yuanyuan in the study? This was General Zhou's second reaction.
It's no wonder that General Zhou would think so. General Zhou's study is very soundproof. Once the door is closed, not only can people outside not hear what is said inside, but people inside can also not hear the outside sounds.
Before General Zhou could say anything, Zhou Yuanyuan's voice continued to echo in his mind: "Grandpa Zeng, you can't see me. I'm in the bedroom upstairs. You're the only one who can hear what I say."
Wow? Yuanyuan Xiaoguai's great-granddaughter can see through things? And these words, which can only be heard by one person, are they the legendary martial arts skill of "transmitting sound into secrets"? Now, General Zhou was intrigued.
"Okay, Ouyang, let's talk about that later. I'm going to go check on Yuanyuan first. I'm afraid the child is frightened." General Zhou's last words were vague, and Ouyang Xin didn't hear them clearly. In General Zhou's mind, Zhou Yuanyuan was a delicate and gentle girl, the kind who needed the care of the whole family.
General Zhou didn't bother discussing the aftermath with Ouyang Xin, and simply turned and left. General Zhou's thoughts were now filled with his great-granddaughter, Zhou Yuanyuan. The fact that she had managed to regain consciousness after over three months of coma was a blessing from the Zhou family's ancestors.
What made General Zhou even more curious was Zhou Yuanyuan's "clairvoyance" ability and her skill of "transmitting secret messages".
General Zhou's tone was full of ease, which made Ouyang Xin relax his nervous mood.
This time, Ouyang Xin had really made a big mistake. He had been prepared to shoulder all the responsibility and not let General Zhou's reputation be affected in the slightest. Unexpectedly, the general disagreed with his approach. Did this mean he wouldn't have to leave the general's side?
Although Ouyang Xin can give up everything for the general, why does it feel so good to be protected by the general?
Thinking of this, Ouyang Xin couldn't help but grin.
When Ouyang Xin came to his senses, General Zhou was no longer on the stairs.
Ouyang Xin reached out a hand and scratched his shaved head before striding out the door. He wanted to see if Xiao Geng and Xiao Su, the two idiots, had returned. If he didn't give these two idiots a beating in the next two days, he wouldn't be called Ouyang Xin.
When General Zhou walked into Zhou Yuanyuan's bedroom, she was tucking into a bowl of egg custard, and Zhao Yunxiang was watching with a smile. The fact that her daughter enjoyed the custard was the greatest testament to her mother's cooking skills!
Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan eating so deliciously, General Zhou also felt a little hungry. These past few days, General Zhou hadn't eaten anything except for a bunch of nutritional injections! As soon as he got home today, he was so busy asking Ouyang Xin questions that he didn't feel hungry at all. Now that he had a pretty good idea of what was going on, seeing the fragrant egg custard in Zhou Yuanyuan's hand, General Zhou felt his stomach start to sing the empty city plan.
"Granddaughter-in-law, please help me steam a bowl of egg custard."
General Zhou wasn't a polite man, especially with those close to him. The more he valued someone, the more rude he would be to them. Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan's egg custard was not only fragrant but also beautifully presented, smooth and tender, and looking incredibly delicious, General Zhou waved his hand and sent Zhao Yunxiang off to make him a bowl. Besides, his grandson's wife looked delicate and vulnerable, and what he was about to discuss with his great-granddaughter, Xiaoguai, was a bit too gory and unsuitable for her to hear.
