Seeing her like this, Lu Ran thought she was disappointed and hurriedly explained: "Rongya, I'm not trying to help Cao Yimin. He and Zhang Xinglian deserve to die for trying to harm you. I'm doing this..."
He was worried that, like last time, Rong Ya would misunderstand him as protecting Cao Yimin. Cao Yimin was guilty, and if he reported it, it would be better to make him clear of the crime. However, if this matter was exposed and Rong Ya was implicated, a series of events would occur.
"I know," Zhang Xingrong nodded. She had a feeling that Lu Ran seemed to have noticed something and wanted to help cover it up. "To save me the trouble, I understand that you must have guessed that I was the one who killed Cao Yimin."
Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief. "He brought his own death upon himself. If the Cao family lets it go, I won't say anything. But if they cause trouble for you, then let them be ruined together with you."
There was a fierce look in his eyes.
Zhang Xingrong understood his considerations. The Cao family was a good family. The old man of the Cao family had a good relationship with Old Man Lu, and she would chat and play chess with him from time to time. So she had seen that Old Man Cao was a decent person. It was probably because of this that even though Cao Yimin hated her, the Cao family did not do anything. Otherwise, if it were the Wei family, they would have taken action against her long ago.
Like Grandpa Lu, Mr. Cao is also a hero who has survived bullets and gunfire. When she saw him at the Lu family, he always smiled at her.
Knowing that she was Zhang Guojun's daughter, he showed special care for her.
That is indeed a very good old man.
She pondered for a moment and said, "You can say Cao Yimin has made contributions."
Lu Ran was stunned for a moment.
Zhang Xingrong calmed down considerably. "This report makes more sense. Cao Yimin, once a member of your team, couldn't help but come here to help, but something unexpected happened."
Lu Ran looked at her deeply: "It's just unfair to you."
"When a person dies, the light goes out, and the grudge is settled." She felt uncomfortable when Lu Ran looked at her. "I'm not just doing this for you, but also for myself."
It is also to give comfort to Mr. Cao, the old hero.
"Let me take you home." Lu Ran felt a little uncomfortable, but he was not at ease letting Zhang Xingrong go back alone.
Zhang Xingrong shook her head. "There are still many things that need your attention. I can go back with the medical team."
"Okay." Lu Ran didn't force it. He knew what she was in a hurry to go back to, but he couldn't ask. He would wait until he found out.
"Old Lu Zhangtuan is looking for you!" Liu Tiezhu ran over.
"I'm going to get busy first. Be careful." Lu Ran said worriedly, "No matter what, safety is the most important thing."
"Okay." Zhang Xingrong nodded. She opened her mouth. She actually had something to say, but she didn't know where to start.
"Rong Ya," Lu Ran took two steps and then stopped.
"?"
Lu Ran looked at her seriously. "No matter what happens, I will stand by you. I'm so happy that you would risk your life to run back to the cave for me."
Zhang Xingrong was stunned, her heart pounding.
The words, "No matter what happens, I will stand by you," echoed in her ears. Did he know something? Or was he... truly willing to stand by her side unconditionally? Where did his trust come from?
"Sister-in-law?" Liu Tiezhu's voice sounded in his ears.
Zhang Xingrong finally came to her senses and saw Liu Tiezhu laughing at her.
