"Dad, what are you doing?"
Zhu Youwei, who was climbing up the tree with a ladder and was about to put something down, was startled by the sound and almost slipped and fell.
Looking back, Zhu Ping and Zhao Dong were staring at him with wide eyes and puzzled expressions.
Zhu Youwei's eyes flickered slightly.
Patting the tree trunk, he casually remarked, "The squirrel in this tree came into the room to poop, and I was thinking of chasing it away."
"I see." Zhao Dong and Zhu Ping didn't doubt it and came over worriedly, saying, "You could have just asked someone to help you. Why did you have to climb up and down yourself? If you accidentally fall, you'll suffer."
Zhu Youwei climbed down, "Why are you here at this time?"
When he asked that question, Zhu Ping couldn't hold back any longer.
She complained about Zhao Weiguo for several minutes before finally bringing up the matter of Zhao Qingqing and Zhao Mei.
"Dad, you must find a way to rescue Qingqing. She is your granddaughter."
Zhao Dong added, "And Xiao Mei too."
"What's wrong with my sister?" Zhu Yuqi, who had just returned from buying groceries at the supply and marketing cooperative, asked with concern.
Zhu Ping gave her a disgusted look and didn't say anything.
Her father only had one daughter, but out of nowhere, an illegitimate son appeared, and that illegitimate son even had a daughter.
Fortunately, the illegitimate child died young in the countryside. The old man brought Zhu Yuqi back, and although she was unhappy, she couldn't say anything.
Zhu Youwei waved his hand, "It's none of your business. Go to the kitchen."
“…Hmm.” Zhu Yuqi gave a soft “hmm” and went to the kitchen timidly with her head down.
"Let's go inside and talk."
Zhu Youwei turned around, quietly putting the crumpled letter in his hand into his pocket.
Zhu Ping and Zhao Dong, who were preoccupied with Zhao Mei and Zhao Qingqing, did not notice his little trick.
The three of them went directly to the small study on the second floor.
"I'll call Lao Li and ask."
After listening to Zhu Ping and Zhao Dong's accounts, Zhu Youwei did not blindly believe them, but instead made a phone call to the director of the Public Security Bureau.
After hanging up the phone.
His gaze swept over the two of them with a deep intensity.
Finally, he said, "This is entirely their own fault."
Zhu Ping screamed, "Dad, even if Qingqing is wrong, doesn't that mean those people are right too?"
"Who told them to provoke Qingqing?"
Zhao Dong glanced at Zhu Ping, and his face twitched.
I neither agree nor disagree.
After all, she was his granddaughter, and Zhu Youwei couldn't just watch her die. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let me think of a way."
but.
He then looked at Zhao Dong and said, "You should discuss this with Commander Zhao. If he takes action, the results will definitely be better than if I do it."
Is that old fox Zhao Weiguo trying to hide and do nothing?
Then he'll force him to reveal himself.
Since his father-in-law has agreed to find a solution, Zhao Dong will definitely have to express his opinion.
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to my dad about it."
The three of them were discussing something in the study, and for a moment they lost track of time.
Until Zhu Yuqi knocked on the door, "Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle, dinner's ready."
Right after finishing their meal, Zhu Youwei was called away, and Zhao Dong and Zhu Ping also returned to the sewing machine factory.
Zhu Yuqi stared blankly at the leftover food on the table, becoming a table cleaning master for once.
"Bang!"
"Whoosh!"
"Clang!"
"Crackling and popping!"
Only when the ground was a complete mess did she purse her lips and slightly raise the corners of her mouth.
With a shoulder bag slung over his shoulder, he strode away from the Zhu family's house.
"Squeak~" Startled by the noise, the little squirrel poked its head out of the tree hole and stared at Zhu Yuqi's back for a few seconds with its big eyes.
After thinking about it, I followed them.
—
On their way back, Zhao Dong and Zhu Ping were still talking about how with Zhu Youwei's help, it was only a matter of time before Qingqing and Xiaomei were released.
Within a few hours, news came that Zhu Youwei had been arrested.
Who arrested him?
What crime?
I know nothing about it.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Zhao Dong paced back and forth in his house.
Zhu Ping was so shocked by the news that she fainted. The first thing she said when she woke up was, "Save Dad, you must save Dad."
Zhao Dong did not respond to her.
His expression was thoughtful.
Suddenly, I remembered a detail that I had overlooked for a long time.
He suddenly stood up. "I can't save her, and there's no way to save her. Xiaoping, if you believe me, we'll go and publish a notice in the newspaper to sever our relationship right away."
"What?" Zhu Ping's eyelids rolled back, and she felt dizzy again.
It's good that she fainted.
Zhao Dong immediately went to the newspaper to publish an order for Zhu Ping and Zhu Youwei to sever their relationship.
At the same time, he also received some insider information from his friends.
This further solidified her decision.
Zhao Weiguo knew about Zhu Youwei's incident immediately.
"The person surnamed Zhu is a spy?" Zhao Weiguo's first reaction was disbelief, but the next second, he felt a chill run down his spine.
It’s over!
These two words kept repeating in his mind.
He immediately called Zhao Dong.
"Dad? I was just about to tell you..."
He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
Zhao Weiguo roared, "Zhao Dong, tell me the truth, did you tell that Zhu guy anything about the military region?"
"dad?"
Zhao Dong on the other end was stunned. After thinking carefully, his face turned pale and his lips trembled. "No...no, nothing."
Zhao Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief. "At least you have some brains. If you had revealed anything, you'd better watch your neck and get ready to be shot."
"...Dad, it's not that serious, is it?" Zhao Dong didn't believe it.
Zhao Weiguo sneered, "Don't even mention you, I'll be finished too, and our whole family will be gone in one piece."
