374: Director Zhou’s good intentions
After all the people were captured, Zhou Ziheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I have been busy all night and have been thinking about Yu Xiaoye. Now I can finally take a break and take some time to come back and see him.
It was already dawn when Zhou Ziheng returned to his residence. Yu Jiahui and Liang Qin were still there. Yu Xiaoye and Shao Xia had calmed down after a night of digestion.
But all four of them had sad expressions on their faces.
Seeing Zhou Ziheng come in, Liang Qin hurriedly asked:
"How's it going out there?"
Zhou Ziheng said expressionlessly:
"It's all been dealt with."
Liang Qin was a little confused about how this matter was handled.
However, since Zhou Ziheng said so, there is no need to worry about it anymore.
She believed in Zhou Ziheng's ability to get things done.
Zhou Ziheng walked into the room and his eyes first fell on Yu Xiaoye, with some bloodshot eyes.
After days of worrying, coupled with the deployment of the arrest operation and the trial of the case last night, he almost stayed up all night. Although his body could withstand such fatigue, his eyes could not deceive him. Two obvious dark circles and bloodshot eyes made him look a little tired.
There were still dried blood stains on the white shirt on his chest.
When Yu Xiaoye saw the brown-red bloodstain, she suddenly remembered whether she had hugged Zhou Ziheng and cried last night?
That piece of blood was all rubbed by her.
Ah——this? ?
Zhou Ziheng noticed that Yu Xiaoye was quite active in his thoughts, but in front of others, he still maintained his aloof demeanor. He walked up to the two girls and said:
"I have kept your affairs secret."
Both girls looked a little confused.
Zhou Ziheng continued:
"I haven't told anyone about what happened between you two. No one knows about it except a few people who know the inside story. So you can just pretend that nothing happened last night. Do you understand?"
Zhou Ziheng had already found out from the two injured militiamen last night that Shao Xia was not assaulted.
Since he had not been harmed, Zhou Ziheng had no intention of making the matter public.
Because once it is made public, even if Zhang Guangtian attempted rape but Shao Xia is still innocent, who will believe it?
What if some people who like to confuse right and wrong insist that Shao Xia has been defiled by Zhang Guangtian? How can Shao Xia prove her innocence?
Anyway, Zhang Guangtian is already dead, and his previous crimes are enough to sentence him to death. Shao Xia's case has been classified as "molesting women" and does not need to be singled out.
The most important thing is that Yu Xiaoye was also present last night. If Shao Xia’s affairs were to be revealed, Yu Xiaoye would inevitably be implicated.
If you tell others that Yu Xiaoye, a thin little girl, took on three big men and stabbed all three vicious men, who would believe it?
Maybe someone maliciously fabricated some obscene rumors, saying that Yu Xiaoye was also a victim.
Zhou Ziheng didn't want others to talk about Yu Xiaoye, and didn't want Yu Xiaoye to live in other people's rumors.
He hoped that she would remain that carefree little girl in the future.
So I decided to suppress this matter.
When Yu Xiaoye heard Zhou Ziheng's words, he immediately understood Zhou Ziheng's good intentions and said:
"I understand, let's just pretend this never happened!"
As he said that, Yu Xiaoye poked Shao Xia.
Shao Xia replied gratefully:
"Thank you, Director Zhou."
In fact, Shao Xia was in fear and anxiety that night, not only because of what had happened, but also because she was worried that her own affairs would become a laughing stock of others.
What she feared most was that after this matter was exposed, others would point fingers at her and deliberately bring up the affair between her and Zhang Guangtian.
Hearing Zhou Ziheng say that he had kept the matter secret, Shao Xia felt extremely grateful. It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. She felt much more relaxed and couldn't help but tear up again.
Seeing that everything was resolved, Zhou Ziheng really wanted to talk to Yu Xiaoye alone to comfort the little girl's wounded heart.
However, he noticed that Yu Jiahui was staring at him without blinking, so he didn't dare to do anything. He was so tender and affectionate that he couldn't say it out loud. He could only say businesslike:
"Okay, there's nothing else to do, so we can go back."
Yu Xiaoye grabbed Shao Xia's hand and said to Zhou Ziheng:
"Thank you, Director. We are going back."
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Zhou Ziheng lovingly.
Zhou Ziheng felt moved by the look in those big, flowing eyes, and wanted to say a few words of encouragement. However, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and caught a glimpse of Yu Jiahui's death stare. Zhou Ziheng felt tense and forced himself to swallow the words back.
Pretending not to notice anything, he turned to Yu Jiahui and said:
"Uncle Yu, please take care of them."
Yu Jiahui responded coldly and said:
"Isn't it my duty to take care of my own daughter? Do I need others to tell me to do that?"
Zhou Ziheng: “——” It seems that there is nothing wrong. I am just looking for trouble?
Yu Jiahui no longer had the enthusiasm he had in the past for Zhou Ziheng to treat him like a brother and drink with him. He left with a stern face, following the two girls.
Liang Qin saw the flirting and open and covert struggles between the three people.
Unexpectedly, the invincible Zhou Ziheng would have a day when he would have to tuck his tail between his legs and not dare to be arrogant.
As expected, there is always something better!
To deal with Zhou Ziheng, we have to rely on this father and daughter.
However, Liang Qin was not in the mood to watch the show for the time being. After the three people left, Liang Qin said to Zhou Ziheng with a worried look on her face:
"I think these two girls aren't in good shape. After something like this, I think we need to give them some time to calm down. The performance is in three days. Should we postpone it until they're in better shape?"
"No need for postponement." Zhou Ziheng said decisively.
"Are you sure? The whole place is in a state of panic. Do you still have the heart to watch the show?"
Zhou Ziheng said:
"It is precisely because people are panicking that we have to perform as scheduled. The more chaotic the situation, the more we need to remain calm and maintain morale. We must win in the midst of chaos."
Liang Qin said helplessly:
"I know this is your experience from military service, but this is a farm, not a military unit, nor a frontline. You're not facing well-trained soldiers; most of them are just ordinary civilians. The military's methods don't fully apply here."
Although Zhou Ziheng uses tough tactics, he is not someone who completely refuses to listen to other people's opinions.
After listening to Liang Qin's words, he thought about it and said:
"How about this, you ask Xiao Ye to come to me when she has time, and I'll ask her opinion. If she says it's okay, then there's no need to postpone it. If she feels that their current condition isn't suitable for the performance, then I'll reschedule."
Liang Qin: “???”
Seeing Liang Qin's strange expression, Zhou Ziheng asked:
"What's wrong?"
Liang Qin looked at the director of Mishan Farm with a heavy heart and sighed:
"fine."
Then he said:
"Then I'll go and ask this young military advisor for your opinion."
