Chapter 266
Fu Zhengzheng watches Han Siqi eat up and then rises to tidy. At this time, Han Siqi’s phone rings again. Finding it’s from Zhu Linglong, she is startled, “Are they quarreling again at home?”
Han Siqi walks to the bathroom quickly and connects it. Fu Zhengzheng enters too and hears close to the phone.
“Linglong?”
“Siqi, why can’t I get through to Zhengzheng?”
“Her phone was broken. What happened?”
“Where are you? It’s midnight. Why haven’t you come back?”
“We have something to do and may not go back tonight.”
Fu Zhengzheng interrupts urgently, “Linglong, are they quarreling again at home?”
“No. No. I’m here and won’t let them quarrel. Don’t worry.”
Han Siqi passes the phone to Fu Zhengzheng and goes out to tidy the table.
Fu Zhengzheng takes over the phone and asks, “Linglong, are you still at my home?”
“Of course. Dare I go before you come back? What if they quarrel again? I’m a competent peacemaker.”
Fu Zhengzheng can’t help laughing. She looks at her watch and says, “We can’t go back tonight. It’s getting late, so you and Zhongxu just sleep in my room.”
“Zhongxu is away for work. Only I am here.”
“Work?”
“Yes. Don’t you know Siqi always assigns Zhongxu double work with just one salary?” Zhu Linglong complains on the phone.
Han Siqi just walks to the door with a garbage can in his hands. Fu Zhengzheng tells Han Siqi with a smile, “Do you hear that? Linglong says you pay Zhongxu one salary but assign him double work. Will you double Zhongxu’s year-end bonus?”
Han Siqi smiles and says to the phone, “What does the year-end bonus matter? I’ve given him the lifetime achievement award .”
“Ah? Lifetime achievement award? How much money? When? He didn’t tell me.” Zhu Linglong says indignantly.
Han Siqi chokes back his laughter and says, “I have married my cousin to him. Is it the best lifetime achievement award?”
“Han Siqi! You fool me?”
“I don’t like to fool others and I just like to trick the monkey.” Then Han Siqi winks at Fu Zhengzheng and goes out.
Fu Zhengzheng laughs with her hands covering the mouth.
“Damn Han Siqi, I’ve seen through him. I help him guard the house, but he makes a fool of me! I’ll go right now. Just let them quarrel.”
Fu Zhengzheng withdraws her smiles immediately and persuades her urgently, “Please, Linglong, you can’t go. Siqi joked with you.”
“Look. Only you can be frightened.” Zhu Linglong laughs finally, “No wonder Siqi always bullies you.”
“Does he dare to bully me? I’ll beat him badly!”
“You beat him badly? I’m afraid that before you begin, he has pressed you on the bed and begun to do something overwhelming on you.”
Fu Zhengzheng flushes and responds shyly, “Shut up.”
Zhu Linglong bursts into laughter again, “Bingo! Hee hee, the ‘pretty clothes’ I gave you are good, right?”
Fu Zhengzheng feels embarrassed and changes the topic immediately, “Hey, where are you calling? Be careful that your aunt may hear that.”
“We’re all adults. What does it matter to play a joke? But don’t worry, I am lying on your bed and no one can hear our conversation.” Zhu Linglong stretches herself on the bed, “Zhengzheng, go to work now. Then come back as early as possible. I want to ask you something.”
“What?”
“A lot of things. It can’t be told briefly on the phone.”
Fu Zhengzheng wants to ask more when someone knocks on the door, so she says goodbye to Zhu Linglong, hangs up the phone in haste and goes to open the door.
Chen Yu and two policemen come.

She asks at once, “Captain Chen, how is it going?”
Chen Yu lowers his eyes and says, “The two suspects both died in the explosion. The scene is too horrible to look at, and no traces are left there, so we come to ask Miss Qiao.”
“But she is asleep. Maybe…”
Before Fu Zhengzheng finishes, Qiao Keren’s weak voice has come from the ward, “I’ve woken up. Let them in.”
Fu Zhengzheng looks back and finds Qiao Keren has woken up. Han Siqi is standing before the bed and passing her a glass of water.
They turn around and enter at once.
Qiao Keren still looks pale, but she seems to be more energetic. She takes over the glass and has a sip of water slowly. Then Han Siqi takes the glass away.
Finding Fu Zhengzheng is staring at him, Han Siqi curls up his mouth corners at her instantly.
Fu Zhengzheng understands his meaning. She doesn’t look at him, carries a stool for Chen Yu and casts her eyes on Qiao Keren.
“Thank you.” Chen Yu doesn’t sit down and just asks Qiao Keren quietly, “Miss Qiao, do you still remember the looks of the two suspects?”
Qiao Keren nods, “They are the guys that seized me at my home last time.”
Fu Zhengzheng is surprised, “What? Those two guys? Then why did you go with them?”
It’s dark, and she was worried about Qiao Keren, so she didn’t pay much attention to the looks of the two suspects. Hearing what Qiao Keren says, she thinks their figures are similar.
Qiao Keren glances at Chen Yu and says drily, “I didn’t want to go with them. They threatened me with a knife.”
Chen Yu looks unnatural and explains to Fu Zhengzheng embarrassedly, “Um, I left two teammates here to protect Miss Qiao. At dusk, one of them went out to buy food while the other went to the bathroom because of urgent urination. When coming back, he found Miss Qiao was missing and called me at once. Then we called teammates together and came to look for Miss Qiao immediately.”
Seeing Chenyu’s facial expression, Fu Zhengzheng can’t blame them for their absence from the post without leave. She forces a smile and asks Qiao Keren, “Did they still ask you about the map?”
Qiao Keren nods slightly, “After we went out of the hospital, they kept asking me where the map was on the way. I said I didn’t know what they were talking about. They didn’t believe me and threatened to kill me if I didn’t give them.”
Chen Yu asks, “Then? Tell us the whole process in detail.”

Qiao Keren arranges her mind and begins to speak slowly after quite a while.
“Then they received a call on the way. They looked nervous and kept nodding. It seemed that another one was inciting them to do something on the phone. Then they went to the gas station. I saw them carry many barrels of gasoline into the car. I was very scared. When they backed the car, they crashed another car and a dispute nearly happened.”
“They crashed Fu Wenhai’s car.” Fu Zhengzheng tells Han Siqi in a low voice.
Finding Chen Yu is looking at her, she explains at once, “The driver of the crashed car is Siqi’s friend. Thanks for his direction, we could find Miss Qiao quickly.”
“Oh.” Chen Yu looks at Qiao Keren again.
Qiao Keren takes the hint and continues, “I rolled down the window, pretended to see what’s going on and wanted to look for a chance to shout for help, but they got back to the car soon with knives. They threatened that if I dared to play tricks, they would burn me to death with gasoline. I didn’t dare to move and just sat obediently. Soon, they drove to the small restaurant, parked the car and put all gasoline barrels to another car. I saw there were many guests in the restaurant, so I pretended to go to the bathroom. They didn’t agree at the beginning, but maybe they found I didn’t look well, so they agreed to take me to the bathroom. Then you know what happened next.”
Qiao Keren looks tired and closes her eyes.
Fu Zhengzheng helps her lie down and tells Chen Yu what happened next.
At last, Chen Yu asks, “Is your friend still in C City? Can he spare time to describe the experience?”
Fu Zhengzheng looks at Han Siqi, finds him nodding, and then says, “OK, but he went to repair his car. Besides, it’s too late. We’ll call him tomorrow and then contact you, OK?”
“OK.” Chen Yu stands up and apologizes to Qiao Keren with a guilty expression, “Miss Qiao, I’m really sorry. Our dereliction of duty made you frightened.”
Qiao Keren smiles but says nothing.
Chen Yu says to Fu Zhengzheng, “Miss Fu, we’ll carry out self-criticism.”
Fu Zhengzheng smiles, “It’s better to make amends for your fault by looking for clues than to carry out self-criticism.”
“You are right.” Chen Yu smiles and then looks at Fu Zhengzheng and Han Siqi.
Fu Zhengzheng responds at once, “Captain Chen, go back for your work. We’ll stay here.”
Knowing she isn’t relieved to leave Qiao Keren to his men, Chen Yu forces an embarrassed smile and goes out with his policemen.
Han Siqi closes the door. Finding Qiao Keren still doesn’t look well, Fu Zhengzheng gives a thermometer to her, “Do you still feel bad? Take your temperature to see if you still have a fever. If you do, we need to ask the doctor to dispense other medicine.”

Qiao Keren takes over the thermometer and puts it in her armpit. Looking at Fu Zhengzheng, she says lightly, “Should I be grateful for your care?”
“You are welcome. Aren’t we friends now?”
“Friends? Are we friends?” Qiao Keren looks at them playfully.
Fu Zhengzheng looks at her sincerely, “If you want, we can be friends.”
Staring at them for quite a while, Qiao Keren cools her voice, “But I don’t like to see you.”
Fu Zhengzheng is embarrassed, but Han Siqi responds lightly, “Even if Yongcheng didn’t ask us to look after you, Zhengzheng has the duty to protect you, so even though you don’t like to see us, we have to be here.”
Qiao Keren asks deliberately, “Just because Lin Yongcheng asked you to look after me, you won’t be jealous when you see Han Siqi and I are so intimate, right?”
Fu Zhengzheng glances at Han Siqi and replies confidently, “My husband and I both take Yongcheng as a good friend. He asked us to look after you, and we will certainly try our best. How can I be jealous because of it?”
When she hears Fu Zhengzheng stress the three words “My husband and I”, Qiao Keren says drily with a faint smile, “You and your husband are both warm-hearted.”

She learns from Fu Zhengzheng and stresses the word “warm-hearted”.
Fu Zhengzheng understands what Qiao Keren’s “warm-hearted” means and knows she is unhappy about it. But Qiao Keren and Lin Yongcheng haven’t expressed their love to each other frankly, so she can’t tell her that she just goaded Lin Yongcheng. She doesn’t know how to respond.
Han Siqi interrupts in time to rescue her from the embarrassment, “Fu Zhengzheng is always warm-hearted to others, let alone friends.”
Qiao Keren bursts into laughter, “What you say makes me feel that I’m more and more willful.”
“It’s not willful to get wet in the rain.”
“Siqi.” Fu Zhengzheng pulls Han Siqi secretly for fear that his sarcasm will make Qiao Keren unhappy again.
Han Siqi smiles at her.
They cast amorous glances at each other and don’t notice that there is a flush on Qiao Keren’s cheeks.
At this moment, the ward door is opened with a bang…Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
