Chapter 291 I'm still pregnant
What are you saying?
Ling Huanwu's eyes widened in disbelief.
This week, Jiuzhen actually thought of her like this.
"Huanwu, I'm sorry, I misspoke," Zhou Jiuzhen realized he had overreacted and quickly corrected himself, "Qin Jinshen must be brought back, otherwise we will never have peace!"
After Zhou Jiuzhen finished speaking, he turned to leave, but Ling Huanwu grabbed his clothes again.
"Are you sure you want to go catch it in this weather? What will happen to me and the baby if something happens to you?"
Ling Huanwu clutched his clothes, her eyes filled with pleading.
She always had a feeling that something bad was about to happen once Zhou Jiuzhen stepped out of that door.
Zhou Jiuzhen only gave her a perfunctory hug before leaving with a group of people.
Seeing the man turn and leave without hesitation, Ling Huanwu collapsed to the ground, her eyes involuntarily reddening.
The next second, she saw Zhou Jiuzhen, who had walked to the door, suddenly turn and gracefully climb the ladder next to him with one hand, shouting to the bewildered guard Wang beside him, "What are you standing there for? Help me hold on, I'm going up to fix the roof!"
"Oh, Battalion Commander, slow down. How can you mend this with only one hand? Let me do it..."
Wang, the guard, immediately realized what was happening and quickly held the ladder steady. He also called on his comrades who had just been about to go out to arrest Qin Jinshen to help by passing them boards and nails.
Ling Huanwu, who had just collapsed to the ground, was stunned and confused. She quickly got up, glared at Zhou Jiuzhen who had deliberately tricked her, and angrily turned around to bandage the wounds of the injured villagers.
After several hours of repairs, the roof was finally repaired.
Zhou Jiuzhen and Political Commissar Hao discussed Qin Jinshen's escape, suspecting that there must be a traitor hiding among the villagers.
Someone must have been tempted by Qin Jinshen's money to deliberately lure away the guards and provided him with the materials to make a bomb, which caused such a serious consequence.
The two narrowed down their suspects, and narrowed it down to Su Haiting.
“That Su Haiting has been acting strangely these days. She spends all day with her five followers, probably thinking about this,” Political Commissar Hao said while smoking, then patted Zhou Jiuzhen on the shoulder and said seriously, “You and your wife should be careful these days. I’m afraid Qin Jinshen will come back and take your wife away again.”
"With such strong winds, I reckon he'd already been blown away. Don't worry, as long as his sister Qin Zhizhi is here, he'll come back. I'm going back now."
After Zhou Jiuzhen made his promise to Political Commissar Hao, he couldn't wait to head back.
He had so many questions he wanted to ask Ling Huanwu.
Actually, he deliberately said those things in the training field to provoke Ling Huanwu.
He always felt that Ling Huanwu had something she hadn't told him.
The ambiguous statements Shuyao made earlier, such as "the previous life" and "this life," were all wrong.
And Qin Jinshen too!
There are many suspicious points surrounding him.
Qin Jinshen actually knew Ling Huanwu better than he did.
Knowing all of Ling Huanwu's preferences, and even her childhood playmates, she actually impersonated Song Panmei to get close to Qin Jinshen.
Qin Jinshen was even more ruthless. No matter what methods they used to try to pry his mouth open and get him to reveal the real whereabouts of Song Panmei, he wouldn't budge.
But Qin Jinshen stubbornly refused to say anything.
In fact, even if Ling Huanwu didn't say it, Zhou Jiuzhen knew that she was very worried about Song Panmei's safety these days.
At night, he was often woken up by her constant nightmares beside him.
The name she called out most often was his, begging him not to die!
Another name that came to mind was Song Panmei, and she kept murmuring "I'm sorry".
Because she always felt that she was the one who harmed Song Panmei, her childhood playmate.
Today, he deliberately pretended to insist on going out to arrest Qin Jinshen, thinking that she would say something in her desperation, but unfortunately she didn't say anything in the end.
Zhou Jiuzhen was a little tired. He walked past the small tents on the training ground where the kerosene lamps had been turned off and stopped in front of Su Haiting's tent.
He wanted to have a good talk with her.
After all, he didn't want his good friend's sister to make one mistake after another.
Moreover, he wanted to persuade Su Haiting to voluntarily reveal Qin Jinshen's whereabouts.
If Qin Jinshen escapes, then Song Panmei's whereabouts will be unknown.
Therefore, this thorn will forever remain in Ling Huanwu's heart.
Zhou Jiuzhen called out in a low voice from outside the tent, "Haiting, are you asleep? Can you come out for a bit? I have something to tell you..."
He shouted several more times in a low voice.
Still no response.
Zhou Jiuzhen sighed softly, realizing that she didn't want to see him at all.
During the day, he would try to talk to her, but she would always avoid him.
Helpless, Zhou Jiuzhen could only turn around and leave.
What he didn't know was that inside the tent, Su Haiting's mouth was tightly covered by two large hands, preventing her from making a sound.
His hands and feet were firmly held down by five large men, each holding one of his arms, so he couldn't move an inch.
Tears of humiliation streamed slowly down her fair cheeks.
Now, the only thing worth looking at about her is her face.
Knowing they couldn't hurt her face, these five beasts recklessly left bruises all over her body.
After the people outside the tent left, the leader of the henchmen grabbed Su Haiting's hair from behind and whispered mockingly in her ear, "How is it? Your beloved man is calling you from outside, and you're being served by us brothers. Isn't that painful?"
"If you don't want the man you love to see you acting like this, you'd better behave!"
Su Haiting whimpered in pain, reaching out to touch the tall figure outside the tent, but her body trembled and she fainted completely...
When Zhou Jiuzhen returned to his office, Ling Huanwu was curled up in the corner of the bed with her back to him, in a position where he, with his left hand missing, couldn't hold her with one hand.
Ling Huanwu, pretending to be asleep in bed, had already caught the sound of the man tiptoeing in.
The next second, calloused fingertips brushed against the soles of her feet, and the ticklish sensation traveled up her nerves to her heart. She gripped the corner of the blanket tightly and stood still.
Seeing that her eyelashes didn't even tremble, Zhou Jiuzhen chuckled softly and leaned down to her neck.
The warm touch slid from my earlobe down to my jaw and then to the corner of my lips; the soft touch was so enveloping that I couldn't escape it.
Ling Huanwu finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. She sat up abruptly, but deliberately suppressed the corners of her lips and walked to the table with a straight face. "Zhou Jiuzhen, aren't you childish?"
"You just said you were going out to arrest someone, and then you climbed a ladder to fix the roof. Aren't you afraid the villagers will talk about you?"
She had just picked up her water glass when she heard a soft rustling sound of fabric behind her.
Before she could finish speaking, she saw the man take off his shirt and lie back on the bed, her words abruptly cut off.
His tanned skin glowed with a warm hue in the dim light, revealing firm chest muscles and clearly defined abdominal muscles.
Ling Huanwu's throat tightened, and the water she swallowed didn't stay down, trickling down her chin.
She hurriedly wiped herself, feigning anger, and said, "What are you doing? I'm pregnant, can't you just behave yourself?"
