The Rest of My Life

My heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly realized that he was doing something intimate to me again.

When I was with Gudgeon, he kept his distance from me.

I knew very well that he was a man with a sense of propriety.

It seemed that he and GuQiong had truly broken up.

But I didn't feel much joy.

Perhaps it was because … I don't think there's going to be a future with him, and I don't think he really likes me.

I was confused.

Right now, the atmosphere is too ambiguous. I was just about to say something to break the silence when Zhou Ning suddenly knocked on the door, saying that the special task force had come to find me.

I was particularly surprised.

I've applied for leave these few days, and Shen Zixian also approved. He should know that I'm recuperating.

Then why did they come to me?

Zhou Xun said, "Go and receive them first. We'll be right back."

Zhou Ning replied and left.

I couldn't help but look at Zhou Xun.

He said, "Let's go take a look first."

His voice was low and had a calming effect.

I nodded quickly.

He bent down to hug me again.

I stammered, "Uncle Zhou, let me go …"

There are my colleagues downstairs, and I don't want them to misunderstand.

Zhou Xun stared at me for a moment, then stepped back, agreeing to my request.

I was relieved.

When I went downstairs, I saw that Shen Zixian and Tao Zhizhou were both there, along with several colleagues.

Tao said hello to Zhou Xun, then turned to me and went straight to the point. "We came for the Wu Mei case."

I was even more surprised.

What has Wu Mei's case got to do with me?

You want me to go back to work and help you get evidence?

However, my technique is incomparable to Shen Zixian's. With him around, how could I still be useful?

"We found out that Wu Mei was a babysitter at your grandfather's house forty years ago."

I was aghast.

Tao Zhizhou drove me, saying, "We went to Wu Mei's home to investigate. Wu Mei was 14 years old, and she found a job in Flower Landing City with children. "I heard that this family treated her very well and gave her very high wages. Wu Mei's family also received many benefits from this and built a building early and became a rich family."

I met his gaze in wonder.

I understand what he means.

Wu Mei was a nanny in the flower garden forty years ago, and the little girl she brought with her was my mother.

After a careful calculation, my mother gave birth to me at the age of twenty-one. I am twenty-two years old this year.

Forty years ago, my mother was three years old.

Wu Mei's claim to bring my mother was true.

Thinking about the previous situation, it was very possible that Wu Mei had come out to work at the age of 14.

In those days, food was not enough to satisfy one's hunger. Many rural children did not even finish their elementary school before coming out to work and earning money.

But I never thought Wu Mei would be my grandfather's babysitter, and even had my mother.

More importantly, she died at the Fortune Store.

It was my grandfather's property.

So... Was her death related to my grandfather and my mother?

I thought a lot at this moment.

Whether my mother committed suicide still needs to be verified. If my mother was killed, then both Zhou Xun and Shen Zixian are suspected.

If Wu Mei's death is related to my mother, then Shen Zixian is investigating this case...

Also, Gu Qiong said that the safety button that Zhou Xun gave me was a relic left behind by his mother. That means that Zhou Xun definitely didn't go to the mall to buy me a present.

He lied to me. Why?

Things seemed to get more complicated, and I suddenly wondered if they were both getting close to me.

But I can't quite accept that.

Shen Zixian doesn't care, but in my heart, Zhou Xun is the most trustworthy person, no matter what, I do not want to doubt him.

I did not dare to look at Zhou Xun, but I was afraid that my thoughts would be confirmed.

Tao Zhizhou said, "We would like to ask you about the situation now. Has your grandfather and mother ever talked about Wu Mei?"

I thought back and made sure neither my grandfather nor my mother had mentioned Wu Mei.

Perhaps it was because of the passage of time that they didn't remember?

I replied hesitantly, "Maybe it's because it's been too long …"

Tao Zhizhou frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

I thought to myself, it seems that Wu Mei's death is even weirder than I thought.

Maybe my grandfather and my mother.

I thought for a while and said, "Maybe Su Yan knows something."

After all, my mother had known him since she was eighteen, in college, and they had been together for years.

Moreover, my mom only told Su Yan a lot of things. Maybe Su Yan really had heard about Wu Mei.

"But he didn't say anything last time."

I replied, "This is only my guess …"

Tao Zhizhou said, "Yes, we will also find him to understand the situation." Pausing, he continued, "Think about it carefully, if you have any clues, tell it to us."

I nodded.

He planned to leave with his colleagues.

Shen Zisheng suddenly said: "We are going to the Su Family right now, and that house is yours right? You can come with us. Maybe we'll have to search some things. It would be better if you were there. "

Stunned, I turned to look at Zhou Xun.

He was looking back at me, nodding slightly.

I lowered my eyelids and said to Shen Zisheng, "Okay, I'll go."

Tao Zhizhou seemed to want to speak, but then stopped.

Shen Zixian looked at him.

Tao Zhizhou fell silent.

Doubtful, I asked softly, "Captain Tao, is it inconvenient?"

Tao Zhizhou said, "No, it's just that your relationship with Su Yan..."

The last time Su Yan went to the task force to cause trouble, all his colleagues had witnessed it. No wonder he was worried.

I smiled and replied, "It's fine."

Shen Zixian sneered on the side: "With so many people, are they afraid of Su Yan committing murder in public?"

Tao Zhizhou said, "Let's go then."

I said, "Oh yeah, I'm still not fully recovered yet. Can you let Uncle Zhou accompany me?"

Shen Zixian's gaze landed on Zhou Xun, "Sure."

Tao Zhizhou also nodded.

I secretly let out a breath of relief. Then, I remembered that I still hadn't asked Zhou Xun for his intentions …

Zhou Xun took my hand and said, "Let's go."

I didn't expect him to suddenly hold my hand. My expression froze.

However, in front of his colleagues …

I tried to withdraw my hand.

But he held it tighter, and I couldn't break free.

I looked at him timidly.

He squeezed my ear with his other hand.

I blushed and couldn't think of anything else. I lowered my head and got in the car with him.

It was just the two of us in the car, and I tried to get my heart rate back to normal as I peeked at him.

I actually have a lot of questions.

I don't know why, but I can't quite get it out of my mouth.

I felt that he had a secret on him, and of course I believed him, but he must have hidden something from me.

Should he ask him directly?

I looked down at my hand. There were scars on it, but they were slowly healing.

The last time Zhou Xun came back from the Imperial Capital with a box of medicine to remove scars, he was staring at me the whole time as I applied the medicine.

He was so nice to me...

What's more, if it wasn't for him, my hand might have been crippled by Gong Shan.

It was also him who rescued me from the mental hospital and helped me deal with Su Yan and Gong Shan, helping me to take back my property...

I thought of his words, "I will not disappoint you." I thought I should trust him more.

If you trust someone, you should trust them to the end.

At this point, I couldn't help but sit up straight and look at Zhou Xun, "Uncle Zhou, I have a few things I want to ask you."

Zhou Xun glanced at me and gave a nonchalant "En".

I pulled the safety button from my lapel and said, "Miss Gu said that these are auntie's relics …" Right? "

Zhou Xun probably didn't think that I was asking about this. He just looked at me and didn't say anything.

His eyes were dark, and the sun shone in through the window, dancing in his eyes. All his emotions were lost in the light, and I couldn't tell what he was feeling.
