lure her into deep

Chapter 26 Are you so promising?

The sedative medicine took effect, and Cen Jia had a particularly good sleep.

When I woke up, the house was completely dark, and I didn’t know what time it was in the morning.

She reached out to touch her phone out of habit, but before she could reach the bedside table, a face was slapped on her palm, making a soft "pop" sound.

Cen Jia suddenly realized that the dog man must have stayed here last night and occupied the place where she was used to sleeping.He was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand.

She grinned at the air in the dark. After a few seconds, she didn't hear any movement from the people next to her, so she gently lifted the quilt and moved to the bed.

But the man had already been woken up by her slap.Feeling the mattress beneath him tremble again, he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

"No." Cen Jia responded hurriedly: "I'm thirsty and want to drink some water."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bedside lamp turned on.

The dim light gradually strengthens from weak to strong, leaving enough buffer time for the eyes without making people feel uncomfortable.

Zhou Heng sat up halfway with his arms propped up and looked around her face: "It looks like she's fine." After saying that, he turned over and went outside to get her water.

"Bring me my cell phone, too." Cen Jia said to his back, and then lay back where he was with peace of mind.Who still moves on his own when someone is waiting for him?

Cen Jia's cell phone had been out of battery by Zhou Heng a long time ago, and it had been left in her bag without anyone taking care of it.

Zhou Heng turned it out and took it back to the bedroom with the charging cable attached.

Cen Jia felt quite energetic at the moment.After drinking the water, she charged her phone and turned it on. She found that it was already 6:[-] in the morning, so early in the morning.It's because it gets late in the winter and the curtains are so effective at blocking out light that it gives the illusion that it's still midnight.

"Are you hungry?" Zhou Heng asked her at this time.

Cen Jia shook his head.

"Then are you still sleeping?"

"I don't really want to sleep anymore." Cen Jia looked at his slightly tired face and finally realized her conscience, "Um...were you taking care of me last night?"

"What do you think?" Zhou Heng glanced at her, sighed and lay back.

Cen Jia slept soundly after getting the injection yesterday, but she kept sweating in her sleep.Afraid that she would be uncomfortable and catch a cold, he spent most of the night watching over her, wiping sweat and changing clothes.He didn't lie down until after three o'clock in the morning.

"Then you can sleep again." After being taken care of by others, Cen Jia's hands and mouth were still weak, so Cen Jia pinched her throat and softened her voice, and tucked him in with the quilt thoughtfully.

"Yeah." Zhou Heng snorted lightly, and then there was no movement.All that remains is breathing gradually and evenly.

The bedroom became quiet for a moment, and Cen Jia suddenly felt that it was not interesting.She took her mobile phone and browsed Moments and Weibo for a while, turned off the bedside lamp, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already completely sunken.

Zhou Heng, who needed to catch up on sleep, didn't sleep as long as she did.At this moment, he was leaning on the bedside, looking through the investigation information left by Lao Du.

Seeing her waking up, he joked casually: "This little thing scared you to death yesterday? You are really promising."

Being looked down upon as soon as she woke up, Cen Jia felt unhappy: "I can't compare to you, Mr. Zhou, who has seen big winds and waves!" After saying this, he angrily pulled the quilt, covering most of his face.

Zhou Heng glanced at her and put down the things in his hands with a smile.Then he turned over and got out of bed, bent down and lifted her out of the quilt: "Eat first, then lie down after eating." The food was not long after it was delivered, and it was still warm.

There is a soup that Zhou Heng specially asked his aunt to stew to replenish Cen Jia's energy and blood.

The two of them ate the meal quietly.When he was about to finish eating, he suddenly said: "Didn't you think of asking Uncle Cen? This car accident was obviously aimed at him. He must know more than you."

Cen Jia's hand holding the spoon paused: "No. His indicators have not been very good recently, so it is not suitable for him to be distracted. Even if you want to ask, you have to wait until he has completely stabilized."

Zhou Heng was a little surprised: "Didn't you say you are recovering well?"

"Overall, the recovery is good. But he was too seriously injured before, so this period of rehabilitation is not ideal."

Zhou Heng didn't say anything. He took a tissue and wiped his fingertips slowly.

Cen Jia sighed: "I'm worried that that person will do it again."

"It's unlikely in a short period of time." Zhou Heng said firmly, "Judging from the methods used in that car accident, this person is very cautious and careful. If there is no complete solution, he will not do it again. And isn't it the case at the nursing home? Have you arranged everyone? If you don’t trust the people on your side, I will send you a few more."

"That's not necessary." Cen Jia shook his head, "If you send someone over, my dad will know about our relationship immediately."

Zhou Heng was silent for a moment after listening to her words, and then said: "Sending people may not necessarily be done in the open. My people can keep an eye on it in the dark. It may have a surprising effect at a critical moment."

Cen Jia pursed her lips and thought for a few seconds before refusing again: "Then find a few reliable people."

Zhou Heng said "hmm" and suddenly remembered something: "Your dad has never proactively told you any information since he woke up? Or is it his own suspicion?"

Cen Jia felt a little depressed when he mentioned this: "No, he didn't tell me anything. I don't know if he didn't want to tell me, or he didn't have a clue."

"Heh..." Zhou Heng laughed, "Actually, there is no clue."

Cen Jia raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes brightening: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Heng thought for a while and said: "As far as the information Lao Du investigated is concerned, anyone who can do this must know the Cen family and Uncle Cen very well. To put it simply, this person cannot escape from your surnamed Cen. In a circle, you can stretch yourself to death and add a few side relatives. Calculate how many people there are, start with the closest ones, and eliminate them one by one. How can the answer be so difficult? "

Cen Jia was speechless for half a second: "Do you know how many relatives Cen has?"

Zhou Heng chuckled: "With scope, it's not difficult no matter how many people there are. Without direction, with few people it's even harder to find a needle in a haystack."

Okay, I can't convince you with reason.Cen Jia pursed her lips and lowered her head to drink the soup.

Zhou Heng's mood improved inexplicably, and he joked with her: "Doesn't any relative in your family like to watch crime dramas or mystery novels? I think the plot of this car accident is a bit similar to that of a TV series."

"No." Cen Jia wanted to say that he was whimsical, but the words stuck in his throat before he could speak.She looked at the man across the table, her eyes a little blank at first, and then she suddenly thought of something.She stood up suddenly and ran to the bedroom, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and dialed Lao Du's number...

"Check someone out for me immediately."

"It's a distant relative from my eldest aunt."

"Well, I'm not sure. It might be related. Or maybe I'm overthinking. I'll check first before talking."
