Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 682 Let me have a good chat with this old man!

Huo Tianci quickly took Lu Shujing to the hospital, but the doctor examined her carefully for a long time and couldn't find any obvious injuries.

The thin layer of red on her skin was something Lu Shujing had rubbed out herself, and after checking her bones, there was still no problem.

"This is just a muscle injury, nothing serious."

In the end, they only prescribed two dark black plasters. "Go back, apply some medicated oil, rub it in, and then apply the plaster. Change it every two days."

Unable to find the cause of the illness, and with the patient constantly complaining of pain, the doctor used the safest and harmless treatment method, just to give Lu Shujing some psychological comfort.

Lu Shujing also felt that her leg was not as painful as it had been at first. She thought to herself that Ge Shaoting would not kill her on their first meeting, so the doctor's words were meaningless.

After paying the money, Huo Tianci took her away and sent her home.

At this time, no one else from the Lu family was present.

"Then you should get some rest. I'm leaving."

After settling Lu Shujing in, he had no intention of winning her favor; he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

In fact, he had already wanted to get rid of Lu Shujing while they were on the street.

As a man, even if Huo Tianci wanted to climb higher by marrying Lu Shujing, he couldn't tolerate her being such a lovesick and brainless woman.

Some people get lost abroad and that's fine, since nobody knows anyone there.

But this is in China, and the issue of male-female conduct is still strictly enforced. If Lu Shujing acts like she's never seen a man before, falling in love with every one she sees, she might get arrested and beaten to death.

That's not just a personal problem for her; those close to her will also suffer the consequences.

Moreover, the Lu family has spoiled Lu Shujing too much. Even if something really happens, she won't reflect on her actions. Just like today's incident, Huo Tianci is certain that when the rest of the Lu family see Lu Shujing's miserable state, he will be the first one to be punished.

Even after learning the truth, he would only blame him for not stopping Lu Shujing from embarrassing her.

They never reflect on how troublesome and brainless their daughter is.

Besides, Huo Tianci himself was not favored by Lu Jianshe, and the idea of ​​him being considered as a son-in-law was completely out of the question. He knew all this, and he was certain that they would make trouble for him once they saw Lu Shujing's appearance.

However, Lu Shujing stopped him, "Go and find out who that man is. It seems he has a good relationship with Chu Yunting. Start with him."

Huo Tianci was annoyed, but on the surface he appeared gentle and patient. "You've already been hurt so badly by him, why are you still asking about him? Besides, that man is so tasteless. He actually laid a hand on a woman. Shujing, if he hurts you once, he will hurt you again."

Lu Shujing, whose mind was filled with Ge Shaoting, understood his words and her lips curled into a long smirk. "What are you thinking? No matter what, I would never stoop so low as to offer my face to be slapped. He's just a man; if this one doesn't work out, I can find another obedient one. But I suffered such a huge loss today, I must get my revenge!"

Not only did she insult her, she also physically assaulted her. She had never been treated like this before, and Lu Shujing couldn't swallow her anger.

“…Alright, I’ll try to find out for you, but if you really need to do anything, it’s best to have your family handle it. I don’t think that person is a good person, so be careful he doesn’t do anything too extreme.” Huo Tianci hesitated for a moment but still nodded in agreement.

The main problem is that he has no choice but to agree, otherwise Lu Shujing might hold a grudge against him as well.

"You talk too much, now go!" Lu Shujing dragged her legs to lie down on the sofa and waved her hand dismissively to shoo Huo Tianci away.

Having become accustomed to being treated this way, Huo Tianci turned and left without saying a word.

Tekori.

Chu Xin rested her chin on her hand, intently studying the documents in her hand. After a while, she put them down and poked at one of the lines with her slender white fingers. "So, it's very likely that Lu Jianshe resented your family because of his son?"

Zhou Yichen sat opposite her. He had already read the document and remembered its contents clearly.

He didn't know what to say to Chu Xin's question for a moment.

“There is an 80% chance that Lu Shengchao is the only one among the children of our age who joined the army and died. I just don’t know how he pinned this on me.”

Lu Shengchao was born when Lu Jianshe was almost forty years old, making him almost eight years older than Zhou Yichen. When Zhou Yichen joined the army, Lu Shengchao was already a battalion commander.

But fate is cruel. In a battle to block the enemy, he was tragically killed by a stray bullet while covering the young soldier beside him.

Zhou Yichen remembered it clearly. It was his first real combat experience after he finished his basic training and joined a company. Bloodshed and human lives seemed so insignificant on the battlefield where shuttles were constantly flying and roaring.

Chu Xin patted the documents and reminded him, "This Lu Shengchao is already dead. Even if you openly approach Lu Jianshe and ask him why, he might not tell you. After all, if he really uses your family as an outlet for his grief over losing his son, he won't listen to anything you say."

And he might even hold a grudge against you more because you investigated him.

The crux of the matter is to find out whether anyone said anything to him besides the official announcement back then.

Perhaps it was something that person said that made Lu Jianshe hate the Zhou family, wanting them to experience the pain of losing a child as well.

Chu Xin couldn't help but twitch her lips as she thought about it. Lu Jianshe was really serious; the Zhou family member he wanted to kill had to be the most capable one.

This also shows that he valued the deceased Lu Shengchao highly.

Zhou Yichen was well aware of these things. "I will send people to investigate more urgently, as well as Lu Zhaolin. We haven't found anything wrong yet, but I always feel that things are not as simple as he said."

Be careful around him. A dog that bites doesn't bark; he might have a side that's unknown to outsiders.

Chu Xin nodded, acknowledging Zhou Yichen's words.

Then I looked up at the clock on the wall; it was already past 11 a.m.

"It's about time, let's go over!"

Huo Baohua couldn't suppress his longing and pestered Zhou Yichen to arrange a small dinner party, the most important thing being that Chu Xin had to be there.

Chu Yunting had nothing to do in the morning, so he took Jia Zhenyan there first. Now it was time for them to leave.

Zhou Yichen: "Chu Yunting just called and said he met Ge Shaoting on the way, so he brought him along. Actually, because a lot of the discussion involved confidential matters that couldn't be said, they really just drank water and ate tea and snacks for almost three hours."

And since you haven't gone, Chief Engineer Huo must be furious by now.

Chu Xin:......

This is the kind of thing my brainless older brother would do. He clearly knows what this dinner is for, yet he still brought Ge Shaoting, an outsider, along. Isn't he just trying to annoy people?

Frowning and pouting, Chu Xin didn't want to move.

"Then I think I'd better not go."

Think about it, that old man went from being overjoyed to being seething with anger, and who knows how angry he is right now. I'm just going over there to be his punching bag.

Zhou Yichen couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her trying to get away with it. "If we don't go this time, will there not be a next time? Chief Engineer Huo may be stubborn, but he's not unreasonable. I believe he'll understand us."

Besides, if you stand him up when he's already angry, he'll likely become even more persistent with you.

"You'll still be the one with the biggest headache then."

Chu Xin:......

That seems to make sense.

Resigned to her fate, she got up and walked at the front with an indomitable spirit. "Alright then, let me have a good time with this old man!"
