Chapter 535 If you're so capable, then don't kiss me again next time!
"Su Zihang might be able to help with this."
Zhou Yichen's sudden recitation of the name left Chu Xin and Chu Yunting completely bewildered.
Su Zihang had to leave the army and return to his hometown of Haishi because his leg was crippled by Gao Ziyou. How could he be related to him?
Zhou Yichen was not joking. In fact, he shouldn't have known about the aftermath of Su Zihang's departure from the army. However, the Zhou family was one of the people who protected Su Zihang back then, so the old man Zhou was in the know.
He only revealed some information to him because his family wanted to put his mind at ease. That's why Su Zihang didn't say anything during their few meetings, and Zhou Yichen never asked about his recent situation.
Being alive and safe is enough.
Before Chu Yunting could ask, Zhou Yichen carefully began to speak, "Back then, after Su Zihang and Gao Ziyou broke off their friendship, the Gao family, with their power, wouldn't allow Su Zihang to transfer back to civilian life. In their view, the most satisfying thing to do was to expel him from the army on charges of harming his comrade and let him carry the infamy for the rest of his life."
Because the higher-ups all regretted the innocent loss of a soldier they had carefully trained, they resolutely opposed the pressure from the Gao family. Only after much effort did they finally manage to have Su Zihang ostensibly discharged and return to civilian life, but secretly, he was reassigned to a coastal region as an undercover agent.
He would never have revealed this secret if Chu Xin weren't currently surrounded by wolves.
"What I'm telling you is that Su Zihang's current identity is that of a small leader in the smuggling gang. In addition to goods, he can also get first-hand information about illegal immigrants. If the US doesn't care, Japan can definitely prevent it."
Chu Xin suddenly felt like she was causing trouble for someone.
She had only met Su Zihang once. Apart from being impressed by his double-door-shaped physique, she was also filled with righteous indignation at being not only disabled but also forced to retire from the army because of Gao Ziyou's mistreatment.
Now that she knows the other person is on a secret mission, and she's going to bother them because of personal grudges, which could even bring them risks beyond the mission, her first reaction is to disagree.
"At worst, I'll just arrange for more people to keep a close watch on my family's safety. There's no need to drag Su Zihang into this; he has his own mission, and it's not appropriate for him to be involved."
And Zhou Yichen, you shouldn't have told us all this.
She dislikes trouble, not because of a lack of ability, but because she doesn't want to waste her energy unnecessarily. However, if there is trouble that cannot be avoided, she will deal with it as it comes and there is no need to involve others.
Chu Yunting's bright eyes dimmed slightly after hearing Chu Xin's words, and then he said:
"Xiao Chu is right. Old Su is in a dangerous situation after all. It would be really bad if we caused him more trouble."
Zhou Yichen sighed inwardly as they looked at him with disapproval. "I revealed Su Zihang's identity to you because I trusted you. As for the risks, how could I not have considered them?"
He spends most of his time in coastal areas and at sea, but he returns inland for a period each year. This long-standing habit is known to those around him, so they don't easily suspect anything; otherwise, how could he have such a high degree of freedom of movement?
Upon hearing this, Chu Xin recalled Su Zihang's help in protecting Du Shangyu's daughter; that should have been during the time when he was traveling from the coast back to the inland.
She thought Chu Yunting and Zhou Yichen had specially found them, but it turned out they had just temporarily grabbed some able-bodied laborers.
Knowing that Zhou Yichen was risking everything to reveal this secret, he would definitely contact Su Zihang. Chu Xin thought for a long time before saying:
"I know you two have a deep friendship, and he won't refuse if you ask, but I don't want to cause trouble for him unnecessarily, so it has to be without any reluctance on his part, okay?"
Zhou Yichen nodded in agreement, "Of course, I value you, and I value my brothers as much as I value you."
Seeing that this was the point, Chu Yunting had no reason to object. Moreover, Chu Xin's father was his own uncle, and he secretly hoped that the other party could have an extra layer of security.
Of course, he also firmly believed that Su Zihang would not easily expose himself given his abilities.
He slumped back onto the bed and asked, "So what should I do? Should I stay in Ning City with you, or go back to Kyoto?"
It's a bit early to go to Su Province now; he'll just be idle once he gets there.
Zhou Yichen saw that his eyes were lifeless again, and he was almost asleep, so he knew that he was really exhausted. So he said:
"Don't think about anything right now, just get some sleep and we'll talk about it when you wake up."
One sentence put Chu Yunting completely at ease, and he fell into a deep sleep after only a couple of blinks.
He walked over and laid the person down, then opened the blanket and covered him with it. He glanced back at Chu Xin, his feigned composure suddenly vanishing, and he quickly lowered his head. "You should go and rest too. We'll talk to Su Zihang after I get in touch with him."
Zhou Yichen felt embarrassed, but Chu Xin was more generous than him. She rolled her eyes, turned around and walked out, muttering to herself, "One minute you're shameless, the next you're shameless. Men, you're so hard to read. If you're so capable, then don't kiss me again!"
Zhou Yichen, who heard her rambling incessantly: ...
