Chapter 665: 665 recent situation
Zeng Hongling shook her head, "Probably not, right?" She wasn’t sure either. However, if her brother thought so, then their grandfather most likely wouldn’t oppose it.
"My mind isn’t calm right now, otherwise I would have gone to study as well."
"Yuanyuan, are you interested in this too?"
"Hmm. It’s alright. I just haven’t had the chance to get involved, and Daoist Zhan seems to have that kind of worldly wisdom."
"I’m not interested in learning. I didn’t do well in learning the Five Elements when I was a kid."
The two girls chatted about everything under the sun. Actually, Zeng Hongling just wanted Su Yuanyuan not to think too much, but directly telling her that would be useless. It might even backfire, so she thought it was better to distract her.
Meanwhile, Zeng Zhenqing in the Capital was much calmer now.
The big leader didn’t speak, which indicated that there was still suspicion towards him. Or perhaps, although they believed him, they didn’t want to get involved given the circumstances.
His workload was significantly reduced, especially in terms of security.
But this situation wasn’t entirely without benefits. From the initial anxiety to now being calm and collected.
He also felt much more relaxed and wasn’t only sleeping one or two hours a day anymore.
He was currently isolated, though there was no evidence, just the assistant’s testimony, yet he was still in solitary confinement, without freedom, unable to see his family, but everything else remained the same.
That morning after exercising, just as he was about to have breakfast, he heard voices outside, somebody had come to do his work.
Zeng Zhenqing found it funny, numerous people had come and gone, all trying to make him confess.
Confess to what? It seemed like they wanted him to die. Having been through many storms, he wasn’t overly concerned about life and death. But he absolutely couldn’t die with such a reputation.
So, he didn’t lift his head and continued eating.
The food was still quite good. The taste was also quite nice.
Even when he heard footsteps, he didn’t look up.
"Leader."
Hearing Zhang Chunsheng’s voice, he finally looked up, "Why are you here?"
"Leader, I came to check on you."
"Go back; there’s no benefit in coming here."
Zhang Chunsheng started as Zeng Zhenqing’s guard, and their relationship could be described as close as father and son, only lacking the bond of blood.
"Leader, I know, I’ve met with the leader and got permission to come."
"Then hurry back as well. It’s quite good for me to rest here for a while."
"Leader, you’ve been wronged." Zhang Chunsheng was very angry. He had been quite calm before, but taking charge of the garrison was not a job a calm person could do.
So now he had changed a lot. His temper had also become much quicker.
"It’s okay, you can leave. Xiao Su will be back in a while."
"Does she know?"
"Yes, she called me. I kind of regret telling her, disturbing her peaceful life."
This left Zhang Chunsheng incredibly anxious but grounded, certain that everything would be alright.
"Understood. That person over there is being watched by our people to prevent any accidents.
I’ll go back and wait for Xiao Su. I trust her."
"Okay, go back, and don’t come here again."
Zhang Chunsheng stood up and left. Now he had to prepare for when Xiao Su came back; knowing her, she’d probably head to the garrison first.
After Zhang Chunsheng left, Zeng Zhenqing continued eating breakfast and then started reading the newspaper and listening to the radio.
Zhang Chunsheng returned to the garrison. Daqing had come back at midnight and came over the next day to report for duty, but Zhang Chunsheng wasn’t there. This was unusual, so he went back. In casual conversation, he learned that Zeng Zhenqing was in trouble, and the first thought that came to his mind was that the lady boss would be coming back.
From their understanding of the lady boss, she would definitely return.
He felt a bit excited. The lady boss probably wouldn’t leave for a short time once she came back.
They were all very worried about her being away, but couldn’t persuade her otherwise. This time, they would definitely find a way to keep her in the Capital for a bit longer.
By nine, they finally saw Zhang Chunsheng’s car return, so they went over.
Seeing Daqing come over, Zhang Chunsheng wasn’t surprised, knowing he had come back last night.
"Daqing, you’re responsible for the safety of the big leader’s assistant. Xiao Su is coming back, and she’ll definitely interrogate Huo Zhiqiang."
After hearing Daqing’s report, Zhang Chunsheng gave direct orders, not feeling confident with anyone else. Daqing was bold and meticulous, making him the best choice to watch over Huo Zhiqiang.
"Yes, leader."
The lady boss really came back. He would certainly keep a close eye on Huo Zhiqiang.
After Daqing left, Zhang Chunsheng got to work, really busy. Though he was only twenty-nine, he felt like he was in his forties or fifties.
Every day was filled with tedious work, and now he was getting somewhat fed up with it, the pressure was too much. He found it hard to keep going.
Daqing directly drove to the place where Huo Zhiqiang was detained. It wasn’t only their people responsible for guarding him.
Once he arrived, the person in charge of that garrison breathed a sigh of relief, they had just had a clash with people responsible for guarding from the other side.
After explaining the situation to Daqing, "Don’t worry, I’m here. I’ll see Huo Zhiqiang, we must ensure he’s alive."
Seeing that Huo Zhiqiang was in reasonably good spirits, Daqing was relieved. He estimated that the lady boss would probably arrive in about ten days. All he had to do was make sure nothing happened during these ten days.
The person in charge over there became more compliant upon seeing Daqing arrive; they knew his identity because back then, the six of them were indeed quite celebrated.
They had Tan Shaoting supporting them, and all the credit went to them.
At that time, they used to envy the six of them, thinking they had found the right leader.
Unexpectedly, Tan Shaoting died just like that, but they still didn’t dare to provoke them. After all, their status was significant, and everyone knew they were ruthless.
Yet, they couldn’t afford to provoke them, and they also knew they were responsible for watching Zhang Chunsheng’s subordinates, so it served a mutual surveillance purpose.
Daqing directly arranged for himself to be stationed next to Huo Zhiqiang, for better observation, ensuring no one could make any moves.
Additionally, whenever someone wanted to interrogate him, Daqing insisted on being present, making it impossible to sideline him.
They waited like this for ten days. Daqing felt the lady boss should arrive in the next day or two, feeling somewhat excited.
He had interrogated Hou Wanzhong with the lady boss before, so he knew her methods.
Actually, if he weren’t waiting for the lady boss to return, he would have started the interrogation long ago.
Su Yuanyuan and her companions had already gotten off the car and went directly to the post office to call Zhang Chunsheng.
"It’s me, Su Yuanyuan. I’ve arrived in the Capital, send a car to pick me up at my house."
