Chapter 461 Before Dawn 7
Chapter 461 Before Dawn 7
Through the bars of the cell, everyone saw the patrol captain with a fawning face, bowing and leading people towards the dark corridor.
"Watch your step, this way."
"Thank you."
Zhou Shichang had one hand behind his back, smiling. His attitude was neither arrogant nor overly humble, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
In short, everyone who has come into contact with him since he entered the police station has a good impression of him.
The woman in a plain cheongsam standing next to Zhou Shichang was subconsciously ignored by the people passing by because her presence was too low.
"Are these the students who were wrongly arrested?" Zhou Shichang asked in a gentle voice.
The patrol captain immediately said, "Yes, Mr. Zhou, everyone is here."
After glancing at Zhou Shichang's expression, the patrol captain immediately added, "The people below didn't do their job well. They believed the rumors and arrested people. But we all acted according to the rules and we definitely didn't touch them at all!"
Zhou Shichang smiled without saying anything, just glanced sideways at the person next to him.
The patrol captain calmed his pounding heart and thought to himself, it seems that Mr. Zhou doesn't care that much about these students.
"Just take them away?" Zhou Shichang asked in a low voice.
Chaoge turned away from Xu Fengchun's gaze and glanced at Zhou Shichang.
"Ah."
As soon as Zhou Shichang raised his hand, the patrol captain immediately took out the key from his waist and unlocked the door.
"Everyone, you can go out now."
Inside the cell, everyone's eyes were on Xu Fengchun. After a moment of silence, he walked out, and the rest followed him.
Xu Fengchun bent down and bowed to the two of them.
"Thank you, sir, for saving us."
Behind him, his classmates followed suit and bowed to express their gratitude.
Zhou Shichang was about to speak with a smile when he was interrupted by Chaoge.
She raised her finger and pressed it against Xu Fengchun's shoulder to stop him from lowering his head even further.
The man stiffened and raised his eyes slightly.
Chaoge chuckled, "This is not a good place, everyone, get out."
Xu Fengchun stood up with the help of Chaoge. He said nothing more, but emotions flashed in his eyes.
When everyone left the cell, Yaoyao saw the teachers waiting anxiously outside.
It was like bullied children seeing an adult who could support them. Several students couldn't hold back their tears and rushed over, calling out "sir" in sobbing voices.
Zhao Wenyu looked at the familiar figure and hesitated before recognizing him.
"Chaoge?"
After confirming her safety, Zhao Wenyu took her two steps outside.
"Why are you here?" He glanced at Zhou Shichang who was chatting happily with the Chief Inspector and lowered his voice again, "Are you still with Zhou Shichang?"
Although Zhou Shichang is just a shipping boss, he has the support of the Sakura people behind him and is a guest of honor in his daily life.
"We met by chance, so we have some friendship. I came here with him when the police arrested these students."
Chaoge said it lightly with just a few words.
Zhao Wenyu looked strange and questioning, "Are you fooling me?"
Chaoge simply nodded, "Yes."
Zhao Wenyu's expression changed drastically: "You're not even bothered to give me a perfunctory response?"
Chao Ge smiled slightly.
Zhao Wenyu: “…”
After a moment, he himself couldn't hold back his expression.
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. However, you must be especially careful when interacting with people like that."
After whispering a few words of advice and seeing Chaoge nod, Zhao Wenyu was finally satisfied.
His sister is still young, but she is quite good at dealing with people, so he needs to keep an eye on her.
At this time, Zhou Shichang came over with a smile.
He is in his forties, but he doesn't look old because he lives a life of luxury and wears fashionable suits.
"Mr. Zhao, I have long admired you."
He extended his hand amiably, and Zhao Wenyu shook it with a smile, "I should be the one who has admired Mr. Zhou for a long time!"
The two of them praised each other for a few words, and Zhou Shichang changed the subject.
"What a coincidence, you also know Miss Lin?"
Zhao Wenyu remained calm, "Yeah, I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to be good friends with Miss Lin."
After a few brief comments, Zhou Shichang didn't continue the conversation.
This woman's whereabouts were mysterious. She somehow avoided the gatekeeper and entered Zhou Mansion. She also offered him a deal that he couldn't refuse. He only made the trip and didn't have time to ask anyone to check her identity.
Now it seems that it is related to the Zhao family.
It's good to have roots.
Zhou Shichang turned around and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first, Miss Lin." He paused subtly before saying, "See you next time."
Next time, bring good trade items.
Chaoge understood his subconscious meaning and nodded slightly to indicate that she heard it.
Zhou Shichang turned around with a smile, got into his car and left.
Zhao Wenyu snorted and called him a smiling tiger.
He led Chaoge to introduce the teachers of the school and several students who had calmed down one by one.
As for her identity, Zhao Wenyu said solemnly, "Lin Chaoge, my sister."
Those who knew the inside story showed confusion in their eyes, but did not raise any questions. Instead, Qian Yijun looked at Chaoge twice more.
After all the trouble, fortunately neither the people nor the money were lost.
Zhao Wenyu and Chaoge returned home together, and saw Shen Jingqiu standing under the eaves, leaning sideways and secretly wiping tears.
"Mom, why are you crying? What happened?"
Zhao Wenyu was startled, and then walked over quickly.
When Shen Jingqiu saw the two people coming over, she quickly wiped away the tears on her face with a handkerchief.
"Mom is fine."
She tried hard to hold back her tears and spoke as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Wenyu said, "You're crying, how can you be okay?"
Chaoge also spoke up, "Mother, don't keep anything in your heart, speak out and we can solve it together."
Shen Jingqiu's eyes were suddenly blurred with tears. Looking at the two caring children, she sobbed.
"Good kids, all good kids."
Her eyes fell on the cash box in Zhao Wenyu's arms, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"It was your uncle, Zhihan. He had a relapse and mother couldn't help herself..."
Thinking of his brother-in-law's ferocious face and bulging veins, Shen Jingqiu was horrified and felt extremely heartbroken.
While Zhao Wenyu was still confused and bewildered, Chaoge had already understood the second half of Shen Jingqiu's unfinished sentence.
She glanced at Zhao Wenyu and said, "Mother, now is not the time to hide it. Zhao Wenyu should have the right to know."
Zhao Wenyu also noticed Shen Jingqiu's concealment, "Yes, mother, you said that my uncle has an old illness, but I remember that he was in good health and had no old illness. He just smoked all the time..."
The voice paused here, and Zhao Wenyu thought of a possibility.
He was almost frozen, unable to believe it, "Mom, my uncle...he can't be..."
Seeing his son's dazed look, wanting to say something but not daring to, Shen Jingqiu felt very uncomfortable.
"Yes, it's what you think!" After she uttered these words with difficulty, she could no longer suppress her tears.
