Under the faint silver light of the two moons, this strange pair of man and woman, under the gaze of the big men in the shadows, steadily walked out of the gate of the neighborhood and slowly walked along the big green tree on the street.
"If you are a good person, then in your eyes, I'm definitely not a good person." Zou Yu's tone became harsh again, just like the unruly girl from before. Maybe it was because she was being watched by her family again, which made her a little unhappy. Fortunately, there was a hint of self-mockery in her harsh tone, so Xu Le just frowned.
"Do you want to go back?" Zou Yu was not a girl who was used to thinking about other people, but maybe it was the chicken soup from the past ten days that worked. She looked at Xu Le, who was silent, and took the initiative to ask.
Xu Le glanced at the shadows behind the tree from the corner of his eyes. Those burly men who were obviously soldiers did not follow too closely, nor did they force their way forward. One of them took out his phone and seemed to be asking for instructions. He didn't know if the person on the phone was the deputy minister with the surname Zou, or the gloomy and cold Major Zou.
"No need." Xu Le thought for a moment and shook his head, "They don't dare to use force on you, so it's useless to use force on me. After all, we are on the edge of the capital, not a place like Lin Hai. These soldiers can't use guns. If things get out of hand, it won't look good on your father. "
"That's true." Zou Yu, who did not have his eyebrows drawn, had very thin eyebrows. Once they tightened due to emotions, they would be as cold as steel wire. He glanced behind him and sneered, "I'm afraid they're not sent by the old man."
Xu Le immediately understood what she meant, and his smile couldn't help but become a little bitter.
To be honest, he was only a young man in his twenties, not a saint. Because of a woman that he was not familiar with, and even hated, he got into so much trouble. He couldn't help but think twice. However, the process of thinking and judgment was covered by his silent appearance. The result of his thinking was very simple. If the Zou family found out that Zou Yu was pregnant with another man's child, the consequences would be very tragic. Zou Yu's child would definitely be lost.
"It is indeed a little troublesome. You can't just hide in the apartment. Every month, you have to go to the hospital for a checkup. You have to go out."
The two of them slowly walked to the outside of a teahouse. The stalkers behind them still didn't make any movements. Xu Le and Zou Yu sat by the window. They ordered a pot of chrysanthemum tea that pregnant women could drink and fell into silence. Other than how to take care of the baby in their arms, the two of them did not have much in common.
After saying goodbye to Zou Yu, Xu Le walked out of the teahouse. Leaning against the glass window, he took out a cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and took a deep puff. The taste between the tip of his tongue and the gap between his front teeth suddenly became a little sour.
He subconsciously glanced at the three sevens on the cigarette case and couldn't help but smile. He thought of his beautiful friend who liked to wear her hair in a three-sevens style and only smoked three-sevens brand cigarettes. Xu Le puffed out a faint smoke. He felt a little depressed. He didn't know where Shi Qinghai was hiding now. In the smoke, he seemed to be able to see the beautiful guy in a windbreaker blowing in the cold wind. He acted as an assassin and a traveler. His peach blossom eyes narrowed as he stared at everything in the Federation. He refused to forget his teacher and the anti-government army in the mountain …
"You are going to be a father soon." Xu Le whispered to Shi Qinghai, who he didn't know where he was, "In the end, I am your godfather."
Immediately, he narrowed his eyes. He noticed that the big men in the shadows on the other side of the street had already hung up the phone and were preparing to walk over.
On the other side of the glass, Zou Yu looked out of the window indifferently. Through the glass, she saw Xu Le's naturally hanging right hand holding the crumpled cigarette case. She saw the three sevens on it … A faint sadness appeared between her eyebrows. She and that man had the deepest crystallization of their relationship, but in fact, she didn't know that beautiful man, let alone like him. However, she really liked the little life in her belly that was constantly trying to grow up.
Those soldiers in plain clothes crossed the street and came to the teahouse. They stared at Xu Le vigilantly, then spread out and occupied the two exits of the teahouse and the corner of the street. Seeing the situation, Xu Le knew that they were afraid that he and Zou Yu would run away. He took a deep puff of the cigarette, lowered his body and stepped on the cigarette butt with the tip of his shoe. Ignoring those cold eyes, he threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and turned around to walk into the teahouse.
"It seems that someone is coming, but I don't know if it is your brother or your father," Xu Le said.
Zou Yu quietly looked at him, who was sitting peacefully. The left corner of her thin lips gently raised, turning into a strange smile. She said, "It seems that you are really not afraid."
…
…
A dark green Mustang off-road vehicle, with a harsh braking sound, stopped in front of the teahouse. The few guests in the teahouse looked over in surprise, wondering who on earth was so immoral to ruin the mood of drinking tea. When they saw that a few cold-looking officers walked out of the vehicle, they slowly withdrew their angry gazes.
Since the war with Empire, the status and image of the Federal Army in the eyes of the public had increased a lot. Other than fear, the citizens of the Federation also had some respect for these soldiers who shed their blood on the frontline.
The door of the teahouse was suddenly pushed open. A major in his twenties walked directly to the table by the window, accompanied by a few subordinate officers with a gloomy face. He stared at Zou Yu with a gloomy expression. He lowered his voice, but couldn't suppress his anger and disgust, "Come home with me!"
The person who came was the staff major of the 3rd Military Region's operations department, Zou You, the son of the Minister Zou of the Ministry of National Defense. Ever since Tai Zhiyuan's phone call, he had been obediently guarding the 3rd Military Region for the past six months and hadn't left until a few days ago, when he received the news that Zou Yu had run away from home.
He thought that he understood this sister of his. She was humiliated at the Double Moon Festival dance party, or she was in a bad mood, so she vented her anger on his family. Anyway, in the past few years, Zou Yu had run away from home more than once, so he didn't pay much attention to it at first. He thought that she would come back in a few days, or at that time, he would be able to catch her from her bad friends.
But he didn't expect that Zou Yu would run away from home for real this time. She disappeared for more than ten days, and none of Zou Yu's original friends knew where she went. The situation seemed to be not good. Deputy Minister Zou and his wife probably had a big fight at home, but Zou You used the fastest time possible to come back from the 3rd Military Region.
If the daughter of the Minister of Defense went missing, or if there was some kind of scandal or accident, it would be unacceptable. Although Deputy Minister Zou Yingxing was also worried about his daughter, he couldn't ask the civil servants of the Federation government to help him find her, so the people that Zou You asked for were mostly people from the 3rd Military Region.
Today, he finally found out about his sister's whereabouts, so Zou You didn't dare to delay and rushed to the tea house immediately. When he saw Zou Yu's slightly haggard face without any makeup, on one hand, he was relieved, but on the other hand, he was filled with endless anger. As for the young man beside Zou Yu, who had been silently drinking tea with his head down, he didn't pay attention to him at all.
"Find out who you are!" Zou You lowered his voice and roared fiercely, "Go back!"
Zou You repeated it a second time. Zou Yu seemed to have just noticed her brother's arrival. Her face was slightly pale, and there was a hint of coldness in her half-smile. She looked up at him proudly and said coldly, "Why would I go back with you? Continue to be a bargaining chip for your promotion? "
As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Zou You's eyes flashed with a strange color, which immediately turned into anger. Xu Le, who had been drinking tea with his head down, also slightly stiffened his fingers. He didn't think that Zou Yu, who was now an unmarried mother, would give such an evaluation when she thought about her past with the Tai family.
Zou Yu slowly stood up from the tea house and looked at her brother calmly. Her slightly raised chin looked so proud, and there was a faint smile on her lips.
Zou You's eyes fell on the girl's slightly bulging stomach, and his body stiffened.
The light red cotton dress was very soft on her stomach, as if it was afraid of affecting the little life inside.
The anger in Zou You's eyes instantly disappeared, and it turned into endless shock and some other emotions. The pale color quickly covered his cheeks. He couldn't believe his eyes. His finger trembled as he pointed at Zou Yu's nose. He wanted to say something, but for a long time, he didn't say anything.
…
…
"The family's face has been completely lost because of you!" Major Zou forced these extremely cold words out from between his teeth. Zou Yu wasn't married, and she hadn't even been in a relationship before, but she was pregnant. No matter whose child this was, the Zou family definitely couldn't accept it.
He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the urge to slap his sister. He lowered his eyes and said coldly, "Take her back."
The two officers who followed him into the tea house, as well as the few plainclothes soldiers who entered later, looked at each other. They could see the hesitation in each other's hearts, but in the end, they didn't dare to disobey the order and walked over. Xu Le sat outside of Zou Yu. If these soldiers wanted to take Zou Yu away, they would have to go through him. These soldiers didn't know his identity, so they turned around and looked at Zou Yu for instructions.
Zou You's calmness at this time was completely forced out. His heart was already filled with endless rage. He stared at his sister, and when he noticed the gazes of his subordinates, his expression turned cold. "Tie him up first."
The intelligence clearly stated that Zou Yu had been living in this young man's apartment for the past few days. Although they didn't know the young man's name, he presumably had something to do with the child in Zou Yu's stomach. In Zou You's eyes, if there were no accidents, this young man was equivalent to a dead man. But before he died, he had to at least explain some things clearly.
