Chapter 669 Don't kid me, please!
Zhou Yichen naturally understood Chu Xin's implied meaning, and he wasn't surprised that she could guess it, after all, she was so smart.
He just didn't expect to run into them so soon. No, perhaps it was because Lu Jianshe had inquired about them after Lu Shengying and Lu Shujing had been humiliated last time, and this meeting was intentional.
Looking at Chu Xin, he said truthfully, "My grandfather is already semi-retired and doesn't really care about anything anymore. If Lu Jianshe really wanted to cause trouble, it would be quite easy for him."
For example, start by targeting the people around him.
Chu Xin's eyes widened suddenly, their light flashing with intense interest.
"That's great! Chu Yunting and I are closest to you, so what do you think he'll do?"
Zhou Yichen rubbed his forehead. Why did it feel so strange when he was talking about his worries in a serious way, but when it came to Chu Xin, it sounded like she was eager to be framed?
Fearing she might do something rash in her excitement, Zhou Yichen quickly reassured her: "I'll have someone keep an eye on the Lu family. Don't be impulsive. We don't prioritize maintaining stability, but we absolutely cannot let them find any fault with us."
Moreover, your parents are still being sent to the countryside; you can't take any risks.
After thinking for a moment, he added, "There's something else I haven't told you yet. I heard that your uncle's file review will be completed soon, and once his contributions to the country are confirmed, your family will soon be exonerated."
Old Master Ge hadn't intended for him to reveal it so early, firstly to be on the safe side, and secondly because he didn't want to disappoint the Chu family should anything change and things fall apart.
But in order to keep Chu Xin calm, he felt it would be better to tell her first.
Chu Xin looked at Zhou Yichen, her brows furrowing for a moment before relaxing. "It's good news, I'm quite happy. So I can only promise you I won't cause trouble first, but if they really mess with me, don't stop me from doing whatever I want!"
Her words were essentially meaningless, because Zhou Yichen knew that when the time came, Chu Xin would have already taken care of things before he even had a chance to speak.
His repeated experiences told him that although words cannot guarantee actions, Chu Xin's ability to say such things was a pretty good sign of obedience.
He can't ask for too much.
After calming himself down, Zhou Yichen made the most humble request, "Could you please let me know before you act?"
Just like today, in front of the police, she directly encouraged Ge Shaoting to beat his own father. Of course, he wasn't going to be very polite, but Chu Xin's sudden intervention almost caused him to get into a fight with the police. If the police weren't easy to deal with either, then things would get really interesting today.
"A son beats his own father, and the police and special agents fight each other"—if this news got out, it would be a huge joke.
Chu Xin smiled, not in a malicious way, but in a sweet way that made people who didn't know her easily lower their guard and fall for her. She walked up to Zhou Yichen and poked his arm a few times, looking like a little girl being coquettish. In reality, Zhou Yichen's arm tensed up on the spot.
Hiss, it hurts!
Chu Xin pretended not to notice his change and continued to poke him a few more times without any politeness. Then, the moment her hand fell, she provocatively hooked his finger, wrapped it around his finger twice, and quickly let go.
"Is Captain Zhou getting more and more controlling of me? What can you do to me if I don't tell you? Hmm?"
Zhou Yichen's arm ached, but his heart was pounding, and the increasingly flushed skin told Chu Xin that her revenge had been very successful.
In front of everyone, Zhou Yichen couldn't help but grab the little hand that had just caused trouble, rub it tightly for a moment, and then let go. His voice was full of helplessness and hoarseness, "Don't tease me, please!"
At the very least, don't do it on the street.
Seeing his pained, embarrassed, and perhaps secretly pleased expression, Chu Xin's wicked sense of humor was satisfied, and she clapped her hands and generously let him go.
"Hmph, I can listen to you on official business because of my job responsibilities, but personal matters are my own business. As long as that guy surnamed Lu doesn't have any crooked thoughts, everything is fine. But if he really sets his sights on my family, I will never let him get away with it."
Listen to my advice: there's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. Since the old ones can't be touched for the time being, let's start with the most useless second generation in their family.
Don't worry about fairness or morality. That old man won't be so calculating when he's targeting you. Maybe your unexpected mischief will make him slip up?
Zhou Yichen: ...
He lowered his head and thought for a while. Although Chu Xin's words were clearly encouraging, they were indeed reasonable. Lu Jianshe had already done the first step of the month, so there was no reason why he couldn't do the fifteenth.
Looking up again, he found that the girl who had been speaking so eloquently just moments before had already walked away. He quickly followed her and soon disappeared around the street corner.
A moment later, a man dressed in black walked out of the alley across the street. He glanced at the direction where the two had disappeared, then quickly turned and left.
