After taking a bath, Duan Mingjie carried Lu Yao to the bed, leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, "You go to bed first, and I'll go talk to Uncle Zheng about something."
Lu Yao hooked her arm around his neck, "I'm scared alone."
Without saying a word, Duan Mingjie kicked off his shoes, took off his clothes, got on the bed and hugged her, "Don't be afraid, I will hold you to sleep."
Lu Yao hugged his waist.
Duan Mingjie pinned the broken hair covering her cheek back, "Go to sleep, I'll be here with you."
Lu Yao hummed.
After a while, Lu Yao fell asleep.
Duan Mingjie tentatively called out, "Daughter-in-law?"
Lu Yao didn't respond.
Duan Mingjie shouted again, but Lu Yao still didn't respond.
After making sure that Lu Yao was asleep, Duan Mingjie slowly opened the quilt, took his clothes, and tiptoed out.
After walking out of the room, Duan Mingjie quickly put on his clothes.
He knocked on Zheng Weiguo's door.
"Come in."
Duan Mingjie pushed the door open and went in. Zheng Weiguo was sitting on a chair drinking tea, as if waiting for him.
Zheng Weiguo: "Yao Yao is asleep?"
Duan Mingjie hummed.
Zheng Weiguo pointed at him and said, "This is the last time. If you don't tell me if something happens next time, you can give it a try."
Duan Mingjie promised: "Absolutely not."
He is still very scared now.
Seeing that he did not put the responsibility on Lu Yao, Zheng Weiguo looked better, "I know that this matter is not entirely your fault. In the future, regardless of whether Yao Yao wants to tell me or not, you must tell me as soon as possible. I have experienced So many, if I can't bear even the smallest thing and affect my mission, then all my years as a soldier will be in vain."
Duan Mingjie nodded again.
"I didn't protect her well. You should blame me."
Zheng Weiguo: "Fortunately, Yaoyao is fine. Even if this matter is over, are you really going to let Zhou Fuqiang go?"
Duan Mingjie sneered: "Neither Yaoyao nor I will let him go, we just won't pursue him for the time being."
"He didn't really cause any harm to Yaoyao. Even if he admitted it, he was just an accessory and was sentenced to only a few years. It was too easy for him. I will let him get out and get in!"
With that said, Duan Mingjie looked at Zheng Weiguo: "Don't interfere with Zhou Fuqiang, I will handle it."
Zheng Weiguo has a special status. If someone catches his pigtails, he will be criticized easily, but he is different.
Hearing what he said, Zheng Weiguo felt relieved.
"Zheng Qi, what are you going to do?"
"Zheng Qi was taken away by Li Xiangqian, let's go there now."
Duan Mingjie was waiting for this sentence, "I'll go down and talk to my mother, and then we'll leave."
Gu Fulan was not sleeping yet. When he saw them coming down, he came up to them and said, "Are you going out?"
Duan Mingjie nodded, "Mom, Uncle Zheng and I are going out. We may not be back tonight. You go upstairs to sleep with Yanyan. If you hear Yaoyao getting up, go over and stay with her."
Gu Fulan: "Okay, I'll be up in a minute."
Zheng Qi thought he could go back to school after leaving the police station.
When he realized something was wrong, Li Xiangqian was taken back to Tang Yi's residence.
Zheng Qi: "I want to go back to school!"
Li Qianqian got out of the car and carried her out.
Zheng Qi held the car door open, "I don't want to get out. My third uncle asked you to take me home. You can't disobey his order."
Li Xiangqian didn't talk nonsense to her, pulled her down with force, and dragged her into Tang Yi's residence.
After Tang Yi was imprisoned, the place became empty. With a look from Zheng Weiguo, Li Xiangqian understood what he meant.
Li Xiangqian threw the person into a small room. Zheng Qi stumbled and held on to the wall to avoid falling.
"You dare to do this to me, aren't you afraid that I will tell my third uncle?!"
"Chief Zheng will be here soon. You can complain at will."
After speaking, Li Xiangqian locked the door outside.
The room was dark and cool. Zheng Qi didn't wear much, so she shivered from the cold.
She ran over and slammed the door hard, "Let me out quickly, bastard, let me out quickly!"
Li stood straight forward without even frowning.
When Zheng Weiguo and Duan Mingjie came over, Zheng Qi had no energy to shout.
Zheng Weiguo closed the door.
Li Qianqian stepped forward, "Chief!"
When Zheng Qi heard this, he stood up and knocked on the door.
"Third uncle, third uncle, I'm here."
Li Qianqian opened his mouth to speak, but Zheng Weiguo raised his hand to stop him, "Go and guard outside."
Li Xiangqian: "Yes!"
Zheng Weiguo opened the door, followed by Duan Mingjie.
"Third uncle."
Zheng Qi took a step back.
Zheng Weiguo glanced at him and found a stool to sit down.
Zheng Qi didn't dare to move forward.
"Zheng Qi, let me ask you, have you told Xia Zhenjie that Yaoyao is just an educated youth from the countryside and has no one to rely on?"
Zheng Qi quickly shook his head, "Third uncle, I didn't say that. Xia Zhenjie never mentioned Yaoyao to me. I really don't know!"
"Xia Zhenjie confessed that you and he had met Yaoyao in school and department stores, and he had also asked about you, but not only did you not tell him that Yaoyao was my child, you also deliberately told him that Yaoyao was just a helpless person. Damn, you are a soft persimmon who can be manipulated at will."
Zheng Weiguo stared into her eyes, "When you met, you were not the only three! I didn't ask them, I just wanted to give you a chance. Zheng Qi, please think about it before you answer my question."
Zheng Qi bit her lower lip and looked at Zheng Weiguo stubbornly, "Third uncle, do you not believe anything I say, but you believe whatever Lu Yao says?"
"If I don't trust my daughter, who else can I trust?"
Zheng Qi smiled, "Third uncle, let me ask you, do you regard me as your niece? If you don't talk about Lu Yao, just talk about me and Zheng Jiajia, why can't you drink a bowl of water equally? It's because my father and Aren’t you going to deal with it?”
"You go to the countryside and work as an educated youth for a few years before you ask me this question."
Zheng Qi was speechless.
"Are you going to say it or not?" Zheng Weiguo's voice became more and more serious.
Zheng Qi raised his head and smiled evilly, "Yes, Xia Zhenjie fell in love with Lu Yao the first time he saw her. Just because Zheng Jiajia said Lu Yao was her biological sister, Xia Zhenjie did not dare to attack Lu Yao."
"I told Xia Zhenjie that Lu Yao was helpless in the capital. I even prevented him from meeting his second uncle's family for verification. I just wanted Xia Zhenjie to destroy Lu Yao. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Zheng Weiguo narrowed his eyes, "Do you hate Yaoyao so much?"
"That's all thanks to you!"
Zheng Qi complained loudly, "You are at odds with my father, why are you angry with me? Why did I marry Xia Zhenjie? Was it because I sent someone to tell Xia Zhenjie about the situation in our family! Did you give them the impression that our relationship is very good? Well, as long as their family marries me, they will have the illusion that they will be tied to you, but what happened!"
"You didn't even want to come when I got engaged, and you didn't want to go when I invited you to get married. Don't you just want to see me being tortured by them?"
That day, Xia Zhenjie told him that when he inquired about their relationship with his third uncle, his comrades told him that there was no real hatred between brothers and they would definitely support each other in the future. It was because of these words that the Xia family was willing to marry her. .
At that time Zheng Qi knew that her marriage was a conspiracy planned by her third uncle!
