When Luo Kangcheng arrived, Li Jinchao was standing downstairs watching. He walked up to him and asked, "Are you Li Jinchao?"
Li Jinchao nodded and quickly extended his hand, "Hello, I am Li Jinchao. Miss Zhou is still upstairs."
Luo Kangcheng looked anxious. He had been called from home by the police station. Upon learning that Chu Yu had been robbed, Luo Kangcheng dared not make a sound, fearing that the old man would get upset.
Although he was the old man's biological son, the old man treated Chu Yu better than his own son. If the old man found out the news and his blood pressure rose due to worry, Luo Kangcheng could not bear such consequences.
He didn't dare tell Shu Hui, fearing she would worry, so he only brought a few capable assistants, hoping to handle things perfectly tonight.
"What's going on inside? Why did Chu Yu come here?" Luo Kangcheng asked in a deep voice.
“Ms. Zhou went to a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop to eat. She learned that the owner hadn’t been to the shop, so the staff asked her to come and check on her. She probably thought it was on her way, so she agreed. But as soon as she got to the door, the robber held a knife to her neck,” Li Jinchao said anxiously. “From what I observed, there were probably two kidnappers. The door to this bedroom was opened earlier, so the two of them should be locked in this room on the north side. The curtains were drawn, so I couldn’t see what was going on.”
The fact that a high school student had a personal bodyguard surprised Luo Kangcheng's subordinates.
"Director Luo, who is this girl?"
Luo Kangcheng glanced at him. "Alright, don't ask things you shouldn't ask. I know this girl too; she's from my hometown, and my father adores her. You remember Cao Gang's case last time, right? Shu Hui is her mother. It was such a big deal!"
Luo Kangcheng wasn't surprised. It was Secretary Zuo who had called earlier. Chu Yu's boyfriend was a member of Secretary Zuo's wife's family, the Dai family, and was also the successor of the Dai family in this generation.
Given the Dai family's status, hiring someone to protect their girlfriend isn't unreasonable, especially since Chu Yu has made a lot of money doing business outside and does indeed need a bodyguard.
Luo Kangcheng is usually steady, but concern can cloud judgment. Chu Yu is young, a Tsinghua University student, and has the Dai family backing her up. Any one of these factors is enough to cause gossip.
As the director of the Public Security Bureau in Beijing, Luo Kangcheng had to consider all aspects. He was worried about Chu Yu's safety, but also about things escalating and getting out of control.
When his subordinate heard that she was Shu Hui's daughter, he immediately felt heartbroken.
"This girl is really unlucky. She did a good deed and ended up getting herself into trouble. I wonder who these two robbers are. If she had run into those desperate criminals, she would have been in real danger."
Luo Kangcheng naturally knew this.
These days, desperate criminals do extreme things; many of them have blood on their hands and several lives on their hands.
Luo Kangcheng looked around and stared at the second floor of the building across the street. "Go see what's going on with that family. Try to requisition their house. Find a pair of binoculars and check out the building across the street. Also, find a mirror and reflect the light to see if we can attract the attention of the people inside."
His subordinates immediately took care of it, and a little over ten minutes later, Luo Kangcheng walked into the house across the street.
These days, the population density in residential areas is high, and the distance between buildings is small. Luo Kangcheng's house is only a dozen meters away from Shen Jun's house.
In the dead of night, when all was quiet, Chu Yu vaguely heard a rhythmic snoring coming from the doorway; it must have been the short man.
The scarred man was alert. She figured he probably wasn't asleep, so she didn't dare to act rashly. Just then, a light suddenly came from the building across the street. Chu Yu thought she was seeing things, but the light quickly shone again, hitting the glass window of Chu Yu's room.
After a brief exposure, the light quickly disappeared. Chu Yu had some doubts, but dared not make a sound, for fear of alerting the scarred man and making things worse, in which case no one would be able to leave.
"Mom, are you cold?"
Shen Jun shook her head. "Mom is worried about you. Mom regrets dragging you into this. If anything happens to you, Mom really doesn't know what to do."
"Don't worry, we'll be fine," Chu Yu whispered to comfort her.
The two whispered to each other, and Chu Yu told her that there were people across the street. Shen Jun composed herself and glanced out the window. She didn't see anything, but Chu Yu was smarter than her. If Chu Yu said there were people, then there must be people.
"They will definitely come to rescue us tomorrow morning. When that happens, we should improvise and try to block the door."
Shen Jun understood what she meant.
"Chu Yu, you just said you have a boyfriend. Where is your boyfriend from? What does he look like? Is he good to you? Mom has always hoped that you could get married and have children, but you never had a boyfriend in your past life, and Mom was very worried about you."
Chu Yu smiled. What was there to worry about not having a boyfriend? Without a man to hold her back, she couldn't be happier.
Fearing that her family fortune would be coveted, she made a will before her death, stipulating that if she died unexpectedly, all her money should be donated to a foundation to help girls with financial difficulties in their education.
"He's a good person. He's tall and kind to me. He can earn money and cook. His family background is also good." Chu Yu told Shen Jun about Dai Donglin's family situation.
Shen Jun really didn't expect her daughter to be able to marry into such a high-status family.
"Mom, it's dark in the room, you can't see what I look like. I'm more beautiful now than in my past life, and I graduated from Tsinghua University. I can also make money. What kind of man wouldn't be good enough for me?"
"That's right. In my mother's opinion, no matter how good a man is in the world, he's still not good enough for my daughter." Shen Jun was quite confident.
Chu Yu chuckled, thinking that this was indeed her mother.
Shen Jun was much more optimistic than Shu Hui. In Shen Jun's eyes, no man in the world was good enough for Chu Yu.
