MTLNOVEL Chapter 1087
In general, the incident of Zhao Yan being kidnapped concludes here.
Liu Zhizhong did not pursue aggressively, nor did he force Zhang Hongyang to reveal his true colors.
However, in his heart, Liu Zhizhong knew. Someone like Xie Peng, although childhood friends with that kidnapper leader, couldn't possibly afford such a large operation.
So without Zhang Hongyang secretly providing financial support, how could it be possible? How could Zhang Hongyang not be aware of this?
However, Zhang Hongyang's beating of Xie Peng to prove his innocence, and lack of knowledge, was merely a performance, which Liu Zhizhong saw through instantly.
Still, Liu Zhizhong would weigh his options and remember the words he promised Old Man Zhang, and also the words Minister Luo spoke about Zhang Hongyang, advising Liu Zhizhong to be generous and not to hold grudges with Zhang Hongyang unless there was massive conflict and harm. The relationship between the Luo Family and Zhang Family is unusual, and Liu Zhizhong understood. If he really were to push Zhang Hongyang to the brink, it wouldn't look good on the surface!
And this time, Zhao Yan, after being kidnapped, not only was unharmed, but was also well-fed and treated by the captors. One could say Zhao Yan was unscathed.
So, let it be for now. Save face for Zhang Hongyang, but Liu Zhizhong secretly swore this was the last chance.
If Zhang Hongyang ever dared to target me again, once I find out, I won't hesitate to crush him completely.
Liu Zhizhong returned to Yangzhou City and drove straight to Lin Juan's home.
He promised Lin Juan for a long time to visit the Yangzhou house and hear her talk about the past stories of Liu Family, but Liu Zhizhong had never been able to do it; today it must happen.
So, he didn't notify Lin Juan in advance. This time he came back in a hurry, after all, because his wife was kidnapped!
When he arrived at Lin Juan's home, huh?
No one was at Lin Juan's home!
Sister Juan was not there, and neither was the girl.
What's going on?
Liu Zhizhong was a bit puzzled, but still used the key to open the door and enter. About the key, haha, Lin Juan had mentioned, she gave him the key, saying if you miss Sister Juan, just come.
He called Lin Juan to ask, and learned the truth.
Oh, apparently the girl's school organized an autumn outing, a parent-child trip. Just in time, it was the weekend, so Lin Juan accompanied her daughter out to visit the Provincial City to see the provincial museum and such, spending two days and catching up on Sunday night's study session.
Recently, Lin Juan was working at the City's Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and was gradually getting used to the work rhythm, making her work increasingly relaxed. Amidst this easy-going leisure, secretly missing brother Zhizhong, longing for this brother.
Sigh, women... lonely and single for so long, how could they not think about it when they meet a man that moves their heart?
Seeing this, Liu Zhizhong couldn't say much, just let the mother and daughter enjoy themselves, and see if he can meet up with Sister Juan tomorrow night!
Lin Juan was quite excited, expressing that they definitely should meet, and have a good gathering.
Her tiny voice, oh so gentle and alluring, stirred Liu Zhizhong's heart, unconsciously, even Little Zhizhong lifted his head.
Afterwards, Liu Zhizhong took a nap at Lin Juan's home and then went straight home after waking up.
For the dinner party at night, he made up an excuse to Zhang Tianbao, saying his wife wanted to talk about something important, so he wouldn't be going.
Zhang Tianbao didn't say much, mentioning that family matters do come first, and that their marriage issues were known to quite a few people, alas!
