Looking at Little Cherry's troubled expression, even if I was reluctant, I could only suppress it in my heart. Although Shang Guanjie was annoying, what he said made sense. They had specially rushed over to save me from my predicament. I shouldn't push my luck. The current me had some small achievements, but the gap between us was too far. It was no wonder that Shang Guanjie looked down on me.
I let go of her bit by bit until I let go of her completely. Her tears were like pearls from a broken necklace, rolling down her cheeks non-stop. She looked at Little Cherry who was walking further and further away. She felt terrible, just like a child who had lost her favorite toy.
Perhaps, before Little Cherry disappeared, my feelings for her weren't clear enough. I didn't even know if I saw her as a younger sister or a little girlfriend. When I couldn't find Little Cherry, I felt an indescribable pain. Unknowingly, this little loli who loved to laugh and act coquettishly had already integrated into my heart. It wasn't easy for us to meet again, but it was so fleeting.
Moreover, I faintly felt that Little Cherry was deliberately hiding something from me. Just now, Shangguan Jie was about to spill the beans twice, but Little Cherry deliberately interrupted him. But now, my heart was in a mess. I just wanted to look at her as much as possible, so I didn't think too much about it.
Not long after, Little Cherry got into the black car. Shangguan Jie stepped on the accelerator and took the lead to leave. The four military vehicles followed closely behind until they disappeared at the end of my sight. I was reluctant to retract my gaze.
Grandpa Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, but his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at me. He said fiercely, "Just wait and see, you little bastard!"
Today's matter, with the commander-in-chief's help, could be said to be more frightening than dangerous. In fact, it was normal to have a few insignificant people die when the underworld forces opened fire. At worst, they would just find some scapegoats. But this time, the one who died was a direct descendant of the Zhao family. It was even more shameful than the previous battle.
However, Grandpa Zhao was very cunning. He announced to the public that Zhao Yunfei had died due to being possessed by the Devil instead of being killed by me. That way, the situation wouldn't get out of hand.
I flagged down a taxi and rushed to the hospital. On the way there, I received a call from Chief Feng. He also knew what had happened in front of the police station. Although the place was remote, it was inevitable that the news would leak since it had caused such a big commotion.
However, Chief Feng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that I was fine. The thing he was most concerned about was Little Cherry's attitude. It wasn't strange. Although Chief Feng had raised Little Cherry for more than ten years and had sacrificed a lot for her, he had confined her in the nightclub and didn't send her to school. As a result, Little Cherry had only just returned to her home. If she said something sinister, Chief Feng wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
"Don't worry, Chief Feng. She's not that kind of girl."
I couldn't help but comfort her. I hadn't known Little Cherry for a long time, but I could feel that she had a kind heart. At that time, I was enraged by the Zhao family and was facing a life and death battle. She even suggested to negotiate with the Zhao family. As long as they could guarantee my safety, she was willing to be a slave for the rest of her life.
When I first met her in the nightclub, I felt her respect and filial piety towards Chief Feng. That was why I pitied her from the bottom of my heart. Without a doubt, she was a clean stream in the nightclub. If she hadn't met me, it was hard to imagine what would have happened to Little Cherry.
Hearing my words, Chief Feng felt relieved. "That's good. I really didn't know that she was the granddaughter of the commander-in-chief … Otherwise, I would have returned to the Zhao family a long time ago!"
"Sigh, alright. That's all. I have something to do here."
Chief Feng could understand my sigh. When Little Cherry went missing, he and Chief Qian suggested to find me all kinds of beauties. Not only did I not agree, but I also ridiculed him.
"Xiao Zhuang, there are many imperfections in life. Don't mind it too much. At least she didn't encounter any danger. She can live a peaceful life in the future, right?" Chief Feng had a good relationship with me, so he said whatever was on his mind.
I wasn't stupid. I immediately understood his unspoken words. Now that I had blown up Old Zhao's arm, we were at a point where we couldn't tolerate each other. The Shangguan family had protected me once, so he should have learned his lesson.
If Little Cherry followed me, it would be really dangerous. Moreover, there was a problem. Previously, Old Zhao had mentioned my sister-in-law, Liu Yuhan, and Liu Jie. This meant that he had already investigated me. Not to mention other things, he definitely knew my whereabouts like the back of his hand.
If the commander-in-chief wanted to investigate me, it would be as easy as flipping his hand. He probably knew me too. Little Cherry didn't care about my status, but the commander-in-chief wouldn't agree to let his granddaughter be his mistress. How could he put his face if that happened?
It was no wonder that Shangguan Jie had that kind of attitude towards me. After all, I had an affair with several women. I was still eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. According to the commander-in-chief's intention, he might leave me to fend for myself. However, Little Cherry couldn't bear it. She secretly asked Shangguan Jie for help and arrived just in time.
If she hadn't saved me today, perhaps I would have attacked the police and escaped from prison because I was afraid from the bottom of my heart. Once Old Zhao left the police station, he would most likely attack my sister-in-law and the others. I couldn't know the situation of the outside world, so the more I thought about it, the more headache I would have.
As expected, treating Little Cherry with sincerity was rewarded in the end. No matter what, she had saved me once. Of course, with this lesson, I had learned my lesson. Impulsiveness was the devil. Even though it was just a simple framing, she still managed to easily take advantage of me.
This was human nature. Everyone had a weakness, and I was no exception. Once my weakness was poked, I would become unreasonable.
Not long after, I returned to the First People's Hospital. My sister-in-law had already finished her surgery. Seeing the small plate filled with blood, I panicked. That was my child, and it was gone because of an accident.
Sigh, the death of my cousin made me feel a lot of emotions, and the premature death of this little life has touched my heart even more. In the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters, humans are really very weak. Only with absolute power and power can one stand in an invincible position.
If I had a status like Shangguan Jie, who would dare to touch my sister-in-law?!
At the end of the day, I was still too insignificant.
I rushed to the ward. My sister-in-law's face was pale, and her eyes were closed. My mother-in-law was sitting on the side, looking tired. When she saw me, she couldn't help but smile. She gestured for me to keep quiet, and I nodded.
Then, my mother-in-law waved her hand and carefully walked out of the ward. "How is she?" I asked anxiously.
