"Ah?!"
My heart skipped a beat. This was too sudden. Originally, I had already decided to go to Jingcheng and confess in a few days. Who would have thought that my plans couldn't keep up with the changes.
Based on what I said, they should have gathered some strong evidence. Otherwise, they wouldn't have acted so rashly. Now that I have a certain amount of prestige in Jingcheng, if there was really a mistake, they wouldn't be able to get out of it.
Ai, I really didn't think that the matter would be exposed so quickly. This is really troublesome. You have to know, confessing and being exposed are two completely different things. It's just like a criminal turning himself in and being arrested. Even if he told the police that he wanted to turn himself in, but didn't have the courage to do it, no one would believe him.
"Xiao Zhuang, be polite to them. First, try to find out what the situation is. Remember to act according to the situation," Director Du couldn't help but remind me.
"Okay, I understand," I simply said and hung up the phone.
At this moment, the father and daughter looked at me with puzzlement. I didn't know how to explain it to them.
"What's wrong, Xiao Zhuang?" Shangguan Guoqiang couldn't help but ask me. He rarely saw me with such a serious expression.
"Nothing, Grandpa Shangguan, I'll give you the prescription."
I shook my head. Actually, I had the chance to run away, but that would be equivalent to running away. Even Shangguan Guoqiang and the others would be implicated. I wasn't that kind of person.
Seeing that I wasn't willing to talk about it, they became even more suspicious. Little Cherry walked over and held my arm. "Xiao Zhuang gege, do you like me or not?"
"Do you even need to ask?
Of course I don't like you, "I shrugged.
I shrugged and said. Little Cherry furrowed her eyebrows and pouted. Her angry look was extremely cute.
"I love you, not like you," I said angrily.
"Aiyaya, since you love me, then you should tell me what happened. If you are lying to me, then pretend I didn't ask," Little Cherry said complacently.
"Uh …" Originally, I just wanted to trick her a little, but in the end, I got tricked instead. I was speechless.
She lightly shook my arm, causing her soft breasts to rub against my arm. It was very comfortable.
"Xiao Zhuang gege, just tell me," Little Cherry said coquettishly. That kind of playful expression that only a loli could have made people go crazy.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but it's a long story. It's hard to explain in a few words. Ai, maybe you'll know later." I sighed.
Little Cherry didn't continue to ask after seeing me in such a difficult situation, but the atmosphere became a bit strange.
Shangguan Guoqiang revealed a thoughtful look. Although he could call Curator Du to understand the situation, after thinking about it, it did not seem necessary.
In order to change the atmosphere, Little Cherry changed the topic. "Big Brother Xiao Zhuang, why don't you tell us about what you've seen and heard in the capital? I've never been to the capital in my life."
"Actually, I'm also quite interested. I heard from my friend that you participated in the dojo challenge and fell into a dangerous situation. I'm really worried for you!" Shangguan Guoqiang echoed.
Even though I had returned safely, they understood that behind the glamor, there was often an unknown pain.
Regarding this matter, there was no need to avoid it. Then, as if I was telling a story, I told them everything from the time I went to Kyoto to the time I returned to Nan Yun and met Yamamoto Ryuji. Of course, there were some things that I only mentioned briefly, and some things that I didn't mention at all. However, they could still hear the danger in the story.
"Brother Xiao Zhuang, I don't want you to go to the capital anymore."
Little Cherry's heart jumped when she heard that. She hugged me from behind. Although she was embarrassed to do that in front of Shang Guan Guoqiang, it was the voice in her heart.
"We have the Black Mud Facial Mask Company now. It's a living money printing machine. We can't spend all the money. Why do you still want to go?
If you're really gone, what should we do? "Tears welled up in Little Cherry's beautiful eyes. She was indescribably sad.
"Eh, I won't. With my current martial arts, there's basically no one in Jianghu that can hurt me. Don't worry." I turned around and hugged her.
Little Cherry still wanted to say something, but Shang Guan Guoqiang interrupted her. "Okay, Wan 'er. As the ancients said, a good man's ambition is to travel far and wide. Money can't directly measure a person's success. Look at the merchants from ancient times until now. Have any of them had a good ending?
Even if they don't go down in history, at least they will be cursed. Everything is a double-edged sword. Since Xiao Zhuang has a greater ambition, as his wife, you should unconditionally support him. You shouldn't restrict his footsteps because of a little girl's love. Perhaps because of your selfishness, you can ruin the beautiful lives of millions of people. Do you understand? "
Shang Guan Guoqiang's words were heavy. He had never taught Little Cherry like this before. After all, this granddaughter of his was only sixteen years old. He shouldn't instill too much of the thoughts of the older generation in her.
However, at this critical moment, he didn't mind giving Little Cherry a warning. It was obvious that he was referring to the matter at the border.
Previously, many people thought that Shangguan Guoqiang was worried that I would put myself in danger, so he didn't want to inform me. Actually, in his heart, he wanted me to go to the border as soon as possible. He was just resisting Pavilion Master Sui's pressure.
Now that I had shown my courage, he was very happy. I couldn't change my decision because of Little Cherry's reluctance.
Little Cherry's eyes were brimming with tears. Since Shangguan Guoqiang's words were heavy, she couldn't hold it in. She felt a lump in her throat and tears rolled down her cheeks.
I looked at her and felt my heart break. I comforted her, "My little darling, don't cry. Don't cry."
Little Cherry turned her head away and couldn't stop sobbing.
