"Let's leave him here for now. Let's go back to the military compound and call Brother Xie and have him come over to deal with it!"
Zhao Yilu nodded. This was the only thing he could do at the moment. He had to send Fan Hua back to the military family compound first, and then deal with this man!
By this time the sky had completely darkened, but the moon on the 20th day of the first lunar month was still quite bright, and one could see the road clearly by the moonlight.
Zhao picked up Fan Hua and carried her sideways to the fallen bicycle. He gently placed her on a platform nearby and then squatted on the ground to pick up the scattered books and put them into Fan Hua's bag. He then lifted the bicycle up and carried Fan Hua to sit on the crossbar of the bicycle. He put his arms around Fan Hua and took her home.
Zhao tried his best to ride the bike steadily, but his hands, with veins bulging from gripping the handlebars, betrayed his emotions at the moment. When he thought of the consequences that might have happened if he was a step later, he trembled with fear!
Fan Hua saw his uneasiness, and gently leaned into Zhao Yilu's arms, saying in a relaxed tone: "I knew you would come, so I have been trying my best to delay time, and sure enough, you came to save me!"
Zhao Yilu lowered his head and gently kissed the top of Fan Hua's head, "I'm sorry for making you suffer! I won't let that man go, no matter if he's the mastermind behind the scenes!"
"Well, we can't let him go! Along the way, I originally guessed that the person behind the scenes might be Zhou Xue, the daughter of Political Commissar Zhou, because I couldn't think of anyone else he had offended except her, but the man just now said that a thin man had instructed him, so I am also confused now, and I can't think of who it could be!"
Zhao Yilu's eyes were dark, and he squeezed out a soft "hmm" from his throat, "Hmm, I will definitely check it out!"
The dilapidated factory building was right between Yangcheng University and the Military Family Courtyard. In just a few minutes, Zhao Yilu sent Fan Hua back home.
He called Aunt Chu out to accompany Fan Hua, and he took a flashlight and went to the military telephone booth to call Xie Yongliang's police station, asking Xie Yongliang to bring people over immediately. He also asked him to help buy some ointment for bruises and injuries when he passed by the hospital.
After ending the call, Zhao Yilu quickly got on his bike and went to look for the man.
At first he planned to bring the person back to the army directly, but if the person behind the scenes was really Zhou Xue as Fan Hua guessed, then it would be more appropriate to let Xie Yongliang take action than to lock him up in the army!
But what Zhao Yilu never expected was that when he returned to the dilapidated factory, the man who was supposed to be lying unconscious on the ground was gone!
Zhao Yilu was certain that the man had really fainted. Given his injuries, even if he woke up he would not be able to leave on his own. So there was only one possibility, that the man had been rescued!
Zhao Yilu looked around nearby but couldn't find anyone. He clenched his fist and punched the mud wall next to him, creating a hole in the wall.
He was filled with regret at the moment. When Xie Yongliang arrived, he quickly told him what happened and handed the place over to him for search. He then rode his bike quickly back to the military family compound.
He adjusted his expression and knocked on the door of the political commissar's house. It was the political commissar's wife, Shen Qiumei, who opened the door. She asked in confusion, "Captain Zhao, why are you here? What's the matter?"
Zhao Yilu said politely, "Aunt, it's like this. My wife's school is having a party in a few days. I heard that Comrade Zhou Xue also has an accordion. I want to borrow it for two days and return it after the performance."
Shen Qiumei glanced at him and found that he was here to help the little goblin borrow something. "Oh, you mean Xue'er's accordion. She took it to the art troupe and didn't bring it back. I'm afraid I can't lend it to your lover!"
Zhao Yilu nodded, "What about Comrade Zhou Xue? Hasn't she come back yet?"
Shen Qiumei looked at Zhao Yilu suspiciously. This guy was already married, but he was still asking about her daughter. Could it be that he was interested in her daughter again? That was not okay. She would not agree to let her daughter marry a divorced man!
So he said coldly: "Why are you asking about Xue'er? She has already gone back to her room to rest! If you have anything to say, just tell me directly and I will tell her!"
Zhao Yi glanced at the lighted room and was about to say something when he saw Zhou Xue walking out of the room.
Zhao Yilu used the residual light of the flashlight to look at Zhou Xue calmly, and Zhou Xue was also looking at him!
This was the first time Zhou Xue had seen Zhao Yilu so closely. The dim incandescent light in the room shone through the glass onto Zhao Yilu's face, softening his resolute face. She felt that Zhao Yilu was in line with her aesthetic standards, and she couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster...
Zhao Yi Lu saw Zhou Xue's obsessed eyes, and felt disgusted. He said, "Comrade Zhou Xue, my wife just met a bad guy on the road and got a little scared. She has been crying since she got home. No matter how I comfort her, it doesn't work. I thought you are of similar age, so I want to ask you how to comfort a crying girl?"
Zhou Xue's eyes flashed with panic, but she quickly calmed down, "Captain Zhao, I'm not good at coaxing people. You might have asked the wrong person."
Zhao Yilu's eyes were still examining Zhou Xue, with a smile on his face that didn't reach his eyes. "Well, forget it, I'll go back and comfort her myself! But when I catch this bad guy and the person behind it, I will never let them go!"
Zhou Xue's heart trembled, and she clutched her clothes tightly with both hands, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface. "You go back and coax your lover, I'm going back to my room to sleep!" After saying that, she turned around and hurried back to the room.
Shen Qiumei, who was standing by, felt that Zhao Yilu was acting strangely today, but she still frowned and said, "Captain Zhao, since you are already married, don't mess with my Xue'er. It would be bad if some gossip spreads and affects my Xue'er's marriage."
Zhao Yi Lu chuckled, "Aunt, I hope you can understand, but it was never my intention to mess with your daughter!"
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Shen Qiumei, who looked like she had eaten shit, cursing while closing the gate.
After leaving the political commissar's house, Zhao Yilu felt more and more that this matter must be related to Zhou Xue.
But there must be other people helping her, so she must catch the man tonight and find evidence as soon as possible!
Zhao walked quickly towards home. He was always thinking about Fan Hua. He didn't know if her emotions were stable now, so he had to go back quickly to accompany her.
When they got home, Fan Hua had already washed up, changed into clean and fresh clothes, and sat quietly on the bed. Yuan Yuan was nestled beside her and playing with toys. From time to time, he would pick up his toys and hand them to Fan Hua, shouting, "Mommy, mommy, play..."
Xiaoxiao just lay on Fan Hua, kissed her affectionately, and held her neck tightly.
The two children seemed to be able to sense that Fan Hua was in a bad mood today, and they were particularly clinging to her.
Aunt Chu just sat by the bed quietly accompanying the mother and her two children, her eyes full of worry.
Zhao Yilu walked forward and asked softly, "Wife, have you eaten yet?"
Fan Hua nodded and said nothing else.
Aunt Chu continued to add, "After taking a bath, I drank some porridge, but not much. You stay with Lihua. I'll take the two children to bed!"
After saying that, she planned to put on little shoes for the two children and go to another bedroom to sleep, but the two children, who were usually very obedient, directly hugged Fan Hua's arms and legs and refused to leave.
Zhao Yilu said softly, "Aunt Chu, you should go and rest first. Let the two children stay with Fan Hua for a while longer. I will bring them over to you to take care of them when they fall asleep later."
Aunt Chu nodded, said nothing more, tiptoed out of the room, and closed the door behind her.
Zhao Yilu took the ointment that Xie Yongliang had bought for him, climbed onto the bed, and took Xiaoxiao, who was curled up on Fan Hua, aside. He wanted to help Fan Hua check if she had any other injuries besides her neck.
