884: Thank God everyone is alright
Chen Ci wanted to read the report again to see if Zhou Ziheng was seriously injured, but her eyes were foggy and she couldn't see anything clearly until someone shouted to her:
"Chen Ci, Chen Ci, your man is here to see you—"
"Chen Ci, what's wrong with you?"
"Why is your face so pale?"
Her fellow workers called out to her and finally woke her up.
"Your man is looking for you."
Chen Ci knew that Yu Zhengxian came to find her, and she walked out of the workshop in a daze as if her savior had come.
At the workshop door, Yu Zhengxian looked at her with concern, and seemed relieved to see that she was safe and sound.
But Chen Ci's pale face made Yu Zhengxian a little worried, so he took the initiative to step forward and ask:
"What's wrong? Why is your face so pale?"
Chen Ci felt his body go limp and he was about to fall.
"Xiaoci!"
Yu Zhengxian shouted, and hugged Chen Ci's body in time, holding the already limp Chen Ci in his arms.
"Xiaoci, what's wrong with you?"
The sound of the porcelain sink is faint:
"Dean Zhou, Dean Zhou—"
"What happened to him?"
"He was shot by Li Xinchun."
"——" Yu Zhengxian was also confused for a moment. He didn't know about this matter yet. Da Kuang Village was isolated from the outside world, and the news hadn't spread there yet. "Did Li Xinchun show up? How did you know?"
Chen Ci wanted to lift the newspaper for Yu Zhengxian to see, but now she didn't even have the strength to report the paper.
Yu Zhengxian noticed her hand moving, so he freed one hand to take the newspaper and saw Zhou Ziheng's photo in the newspaper.
Yu Zhengxian's head also buzzed and he almost fell down.
After taking a quick look and seeing that Zhou Ziheng was only shot in the arm and was still alive, Yu Zhengxian breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Zhengxian clutched the newspaper angrily:
Li Xinchun, don’t let me meet you. If I meet you, I will make sure you die without a burial place!
Chen Ci hugged Yu Zhengxian with a pair of soft and weak hands, unable to stop sobbing:
"What should I do? It's all because of me, it's all because of me——"
Yu Zhengxian hugged Chen Ci tightly:
"Xiao Ci, you did nothing wrong. If you want to blame someone, blame me. If I hadn't done something worse than an animal to you back then, you wouldn't be in this situation today. Blame me."
Chen Ci hugged Yu Zhengxian tightly, buried her face in his chest, and cried so hard that her whole body trembled.
Yu Zhengxian was so heartbroken that he couldn't speak and could only let her hot tears fall on him.
When the crying stopped, Yu Zhengxian said:
"I'm going to go see how Dean Zhou is doing. Xiaoye must be scared too. I have to tell my parents about this and ask them to come and see Xiaoye and Dean Zhou."
Chen Ci then let go of Yu Zhengxian slightly, raised her head, and her tear-stained face was full of worry:
"You must be careful. Changning and I cannot live without you. You must be well and nothing should happen to you."
Yu Zhengxian was stunned, unable to believe that Chen Ci would say such a thing. He suddenly excitedly hugged Chen Ci into his arms again, and for the first time took the initiative to hug Chen Ci tightly.
Chen Ci did not resist, but opened her arms and wrapped them around his waist.
This was the first time the two of them hugged each other like this.
Yu Zhengxian gently stroked Chen Ci's hair and whispered softly:
"Xiaoci, don't be afraid. I'm here. I will definitely catch Li Xinchun and let you and Changning live a peaceful life."
Chen Ci finally stopped crying and hummed softly.
Yu Zhengxian patiently coaxed Chen Ci until she finally stopped crying, and then he left the textile factory with the newspaper.
Before leaving, Yu Zhengxian repeatedly warned Shen Ci not to leave the factory and to stay in the factory until Li Xinchun was caught.
Yu Zhengxian left the city and rode his bicycle back to Dakuang Village to find his parents.
Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying knew that he had come to the city specifically to visit Chen Ci, so when they saw him come back, they asked him:
"How's Chen Ci?"
"She's fine, but—"
"But what?"
Yu Zhengxian was a little hesitant to tell his parents about Zhou Ziheng being shot and injured. He knew that his parents valued this son-in-law very much, like their own son, sometimes even closer than their own son. If they knew about it, they would definitely be worried.
But he couldn't hide it from them, so he finally took out the newspapers he brought from the capital and let them read it themselves.
Yu Jiahui only took two glances. The first time he saw Zhou Ziheng's photo, and the second time he saw the word "shooting". Yu Jiahui's head buzzed and his body swayed back and forth.
Yu Zhengxian was prepared and immediately supported Yu Jiahui.
Xu Ying was curious about what happened and looked at the newspaper. He had the same reaction and his eyes rolled back and he was about to fall down.
The old couple were both devastated, and Yu Zhengxian had no choice but to support one of them and persuade them:
"Dad, Mom, it's okay, Dean is fine. The bullet hit his arm, but he wasn't killed!"
After hearing this, Yu Jiahui straightened up again:
"Is he really okay?!"
"It's okay. It's okay as the newspaper said."
Xu Ying no longer cared about reading the newspaper and pushed Yu Zhengxian away:
"No, I want to go see Xiao Zhou!"
"I'm going too. I'll take you there!"
"Mom and Dad, I'm going too. I'm going with you!"
The old couple didn't have time to ask how Zhou Ziheng was shot, so they went back and pushed their bicycles to the city to visit their son-in-law.
Although the newspaper said that he was fine, I could only feel truly relieved when I saw him safe and sound with my own eyes.
The two bicycles set off towards the city.
On the way, Yu Zhengxian had the opportunity to tell his parents what happened in the newspaper. In fact, the newspaper was not very clear. It only said that a fugitive named Li Xinchun tried to shoot Zhou Ziheng. The newspaper did not dare to say clearly that Jiang Shang and You Wenyue were involved in the case. After all, the identities of these two people are still very sensitive. Before there is confirmation, the newspaper dare not report it casually.
However, Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying still guessed that Li Xinchun could
Maybe he was going to their house to seek revenge, and Zhou Ziheng went there in advance to wait, which was why he was beaten by Li Xinchun.
That bastard Li Xinchun!!
Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying cursed all the way with spit flying everywhere.
He kept cursing outside the Beijing compound.
Because the old couple rarely came to the compound and the number of times they had been there in the past few years could be counted on one hand, the guards at the gate did not recognize them.
Recently, Zhou Ziheng was shot, and the guards at the door have been more strict on duty. When they see a stranger, they will ask who the person is.
Yu Jiahui had a bad temper and wanted to curse, but considering that this was his brother-in-law's house, he held back and said patiently that he was Zhou Ziheng's father-in-law and came to see his brother-in-law.
When the guard heard that it was Zhou Ziheng's father-in-law, he hurriedly called Zhou's house to inquire. Zhuang Huaijian answered the phone and heard that the relative-in-law had arrived. There was no need to doubt it and asked the guard to let him in immediately.
The family of three finally got in.
After going in and around, I arrived at the Zhou family's small building. Zhuang Huaijian, Zhou Ziheng and Yu Xiaoye were already standing at the door waiting.
Seeing Zhou Ziheng standing outside the door from afar, Xu Ying almost burst into tears.
I covered my mouth and barely managed to hold it back.
Yu Jiahui couldn't help but mutter:
"Thank God, no one is okay!"
