Capítulo 1202: Chapter 792: Mission
Second watch.

“Who’s guilty?” Chuxia paused slightly, then confidently accused Division Commander Tongzi, “You should reflect on yourself instead. If it weren’t for you always being so petty, would I need to explain unnecessarily?”
“…” Zhou Mikang was choked up, holding his breath. It took him a while to calm down, yet he was not angry. Instead, he earnestly made a request, “Since you know I’m petty in this regard, be more mindful yourself. Don’t provoke for no reason.”
Not giving Chuxia a chance to respond, he quickly changed the topic, “I asked about Zuo Jiang because his brother Zuo Hai is Ou Jie’s boyfriend.”
Although Division Commander Tongzi paused, Chuxia wisely did not respond. Her instincts told her that him asking about Zuo Jiang wasn’t because he was worried she would be jealous of Ou Jie.
Did he think she was stupid enough to jump into a trap he set?
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Mikang chuckled lightly, “Seems I underestimated you. Not bad, you’ve improved, worthy of praise…”
Chuxia rolled her eyes and interrupted him, “Get to the point!”
“…” Was he being dismissed? Straightening up, Division Commander Tongzi finally got to the main topic, “Here’s a task for you, find out more about his brother Zuo Hai through Zuo Jiang.”
“Why?” Reflexively asking, Chuxia regretted it imdiately. How stupid of her, she thought, why couldn’t she just keep calm and let Division Commander Tongzi explain?
Indeed, Zhou Mikang’s soft laughter ca through again, “You fell for it this ti, didn’t you?”
“How bored are you?” Chuxia couldn’t let him have the satisfaction and snorted softly, “Say what you need to say, if not, forget it. If you keep dragging it out, I’ll hang up.”
Zhou Mikang was exasperated. He only wanted to tease her out of boredom, and this was the attitude he got. Others begged him to tease them, and he’d ignore them. Truly, there’s always soone who can handle soone else.
After Zhou Mikang explained that Zuo Hai’s current girlfriend was Ye iru, and about the bet between Ye iru and Ou Jie, Chuxia was silent. Was Zuo Hai’s mind filled with nonsense?
Alright, it’s unladylike to speak rudely, but at this mont, she couldn’t stay a lady, “What’s the point of investigating a guy like this? He’s definitely not decent.” She said gloomily.
“Consider it as helping Minister Ou with a favor…” Sighing, Zhou Mikang persuaded his young wife, “Minister Ou is a good person. Ou Jie is being stubborn. If left unchecked, it might really ruin a genius, which would be a pity.”
“Didn’t you give her a couple of reminders?” Chuxia asked.
“How would I remind her? Say the man she likes isn’t good and to find another one?” Zhou Mikang snorted, “Am I deliberately trying to get myself in trouble?”
Chuxia was exasperated. Alright, she had oversimplified things. Just as she was about to finish reflecting on herself, Division Commander Tongzi continued, “It’s not that I didn’t remind her; I just took a different approach.
I shared Ye iru’s past deeds with her. Even if she’s dense, she should understand. If a man knowingly stays with a woman with a spotted history, perhaps his mind isn’t right either.”
“Pfft!” Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh, “Did you also have a ssed up mind before?” She wasn’t wronging him; originally, when he knew about Ye iru’s spotted history, wasn’t he still with her?
“Is it the sa thing?…”
Before Division Commander Tongzi could burst out, Chuxia hurriedly admitted her mistake, “I was wrong, I was wrong, it was just a joke, don’t take it seriously. So, what was her reaction after you told her?”
“She said she knew Ye iru was that kind of person, so she must save Zuo Hai from Ye iru.”
Chuxia: “…”
“Exactly, I thought anyone with common sense would understand, but she proves to be an exception. Or perhaps her military judgnt skills have overshadowed her judgnt in matters of love.
Seeing as Minister Ou values his daughter so much, I’ve decided to help her out. I’ve already assigned soone to investigate this, but I still hope to get a different kind of conclusion from you.”
“What different conclusion would you like to hear?” Chuxia asked in return, “Or are you hoping Zuo Hai turns out to be exceptional or garbage?”
“I hope that like Ou Jie, he’s soone whose talent overshadows his judgnt in love.”
“What talent does he have?”
“Talent in biology, completely self-taught. He’s now part of a research group; although the youngest, he’s the leader. He used to be best friends with Huang Xinlong.”
“Isn’t there a saying ‘don’t covet your friend’s wife’? What is this supposed to be?” Chuxia couldn’t help but mutter softly, “Just based on this point, he’s not a decent person.”
“He is a bit of a loner. His colleagues in the research group respect him greatly because a stalled project made significant breakthroughs under his leadership in just three short months. In this area, he truly is a genius.
This is precisely why I want to understand more deeply what kind of person he really is. In any case, such talent is extrely valuable to the country. We can’t just watch him be ruined by Ye iru, right?”
Although Division Commander Tongzi was articulate, Chuxia suddenly had an epiphany, “Zhou Mikang, are you suspecting that Zuo Jiang was also sent over by Ye iru?”
“Indeed, my wife is the smartest person in the world…” Now that it was out, Zhou Mikang no longer hid it, “Being cautious is good. I don’t want a ticking ti bomb placed beside you.
.Over there, Zuo Jiang’s side will quietly search, they will never let him carry anything that could harm you, just ask him honestly, the rest will be judged by them.”
Chuxia nodded: “Got it, I’m a guinea pig.”
“Alright, if you want to call yourself that, I have no objection.” Zhou Mikang chuckled lightly and reminded, “Don’t let your parents find out, they’ll be worried again.”
Chuxia couldn’t help but roll her eyes: “I’m not stupid.”
“You said yourself that pregnancy makes you silly for three years, so I often remind you, why are you complaining about now?”
Chuxia: “…” Too bullied, isn’t it?!
…
Since she started school, Chuxia really hadn’t spoken alone with Zuo Jiang, at most, they would nod in acknowledgnt when they encountered each other. Under such circumstances, it was really quite hard for her to find an opportunity to be alone with him.
The entire morning, she didn’t find a suitable chance, and couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious inside. During class in the afternoon, she deliberately glanced toward Zuo Jiang, hoping to spot so clues.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Zuo Jiang turned to look at her, eyes full of confusion.
Chuxia gave him a slight smile.
Unconsciously returning a smile, Zuo Jiang quickly turned his head back, eyes full of astonishnt. Among all the girls in the class, only Lin Chuxia had never looked at him properly. What’s going on today?!
His eyes were clear, and his smile was quite pleasant. He probably didn’t harbor any ill intentions, right? Otherwise, his ability to disguise would be too strong! Moreover, at this age, he shouldn’t have such strong disguise capabilities, right?
Suddenly, Lin ngye, sitting behind Zuo Jiang, turned her head and gave her a mocking smile.
Chuxia secretly rolled her eyes, everyone knew Lin ngye was pursuing Zuo Jiang, and even Lin ngran had discussed this matter with them separately. In the end, they couldn’t figure out what Lin ngye really thought.
At first, they suspected she was trying to undermine Lin ngran, but facts proved that apart from arguing a few tis at first, the sisters had no further interaction.
According to Lin ngran’s description of her personality, being so patient wasn’t strange, but when she formally pursued Zuo Jiang, everyone was puzzled.
She wanted to convince Zuo Qian to persuade the Zuo Family’s Elder to help her. Now it has been confird that Zuo Qian and Zuo Jiang have no kinship, so what is her plan?
With such a blatant move, no matter how good Zuo Qian’s personality is, or how broad-minded he is, he couldn’t possibly continue to help her, right?
Or perhaps, at this mont, finding out Zuo Jiang’s true identity could solve this puzzle?
In an instant, Chuxia was suddenly a little excited. Not only could she irritate Ye iru but also help her good friends, a win-win situation is great, isn’t it?
“What are you thinking about?” Sitting beside her, Yang Xiaoli couldn’t help but poke her lightly, “Watching your expressions change from smiling brightly to frowning and glaring, don’t scare us, okay?”
“I’ll tell you after class.”
Yang Xiaoli responded and sat upright, pretending to listen to the class attentively. Honestly, the content was too basic lately, making it very tiring to pretend to be seriously listening.
Seeing the teacher glance their way, Chuxia also hurriedly sat up straight; she already had no student connections, she couldn’t afford to lose the teacher’s favor too, smart kids can’t afford to be hurt!
This class was Ideology and Politics, taught by teacher Li Siyu, who seed quite displeased with Chuxia and her group, felt they were not actively asking questions and their attitude towards class wasn’t serious, this kind of student was the most annoying.
“Lin Chuxia.”
“Present!”
Chuxia had to stand up; the teacher had called her na, and if she continued sitting casually, she would be in trouble.
“Repeat what I just taught.”
As Li Siyu’s words fell, Yang Xiaoli’s hand had already pointed to a certain spot, Chuxia glanced and read from her textbook.
“I asked you to recite, not read aloud…” Li Siyu interrupted with a tight frown, “Only elentary students learn well when teachers chase them, right?”
Indeed not right on her part, so Chuxia looked at Li Siyu earnestly and responded “Yes.”
“Sit down then, each radish has its own hole, you have to live up to the seat you’re in.”
Apparently, it was hinting she wasn’t admitted by exams, Chuxia’s brows furrowed slightly, why did it feel like the teacher disliked her particularly? Hopefully, it’s just her imagination.
After that, she dared not be distracted anymore, she sat seriously until the class finished. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for recomndations and monthly votes on Qidian (qidian), your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian for reading.)
