NOVEL NEXT Chapter 267: 267 got entangled with me
Liu Zhizhong did not follow them up but waited downstairs.
Shortly after, a series of screams, reminiscent of a pig being slaughtered, echoed from upstairs.
Liu Zhizhong didn't ponder what was happening. He could sense that Luo Shuxiu was really a fierce character!
Luo Shuxiu vented in silence, and apart from the faint sound of beating, there was no sound from her.
Liu Zhizhong understood that she had listened to him, to severely punish the two guys and let out her anger, but not to take their lives.
Soon, the noise upstairs ceased, and Luo Shuxiu came back down.
Liu Zhizhong only heard her following his instructions, saying to the two fools, "If the police ask you what drug you gave me, say it was sleeping pills."
At the same time, Liu Zhizhong heard the two fools agree.
When Luo Shuxiu came downstairs, her expression was cold and poised. Of course, her face was flushed and charming, with a slight sweat on her forehead—signs that she had exerted herself and was slightly tired.
She nodded at Liu Zhizhong and said, "I'm fine now. I've already sent a message to my dad, asking him to thoroughly investigate the Donggu City's Mayor and secretary, to handle their sons harshly. I also told him that someone helped me, but I didn't have time to thank them because they had left Taohua Island early in the morning."
Liu Zhizhong nodded, "Okay, Miss Luo, shall we go for breakfast?"
"Let's go!"
The major events seemed to be just passing by.
The two headed to the bed and breakfast's main restaurant, ordered a private room, and had a fine breakfast.
On the other side, Luo Tianlin was still in a meeting early in the morning. These high-ranking individuals were either utterly free or extremely busy at times, without distinctions of weekends or holidays.
Seeing the message from his daughter, Luo Tianlin was infuriated. What audacity did these local princelings from Donggu City believe they had?
Thus, he immediately added two points to the meeting agenda: to investigate the Donggu City Committee secretary and the Mayor, and to see that it was time to butcher the fat sheep to replenish the national treasury.
At the same time, he immediately called the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, instructed him briefly, and had the Public Security Department dispatch a special operations group directly to Taohua Island to arrest the two arrogant princelings and bring them back to the Provincial City.
Meanwhile, Liu Zhizhong and Luo Shuxiu were having breakfast together and inevitably had a conversation. Liu Zhizhong was quite eloquent and harmonized well with Luo Shuxiu.
It turned out that Luo Shuxiu was 27 years old and currently an English teacher at a university in the Provincial City.
However, her boyfriend, with whom she had been studying abroad for a PhD, had broken up with her recently, leaving her somewhat depressed, hence her speeding to Taohua Island to clear her mind.
Liu Zhizhong felt somewhat moved, showed his understanding, and said, "Miss Luo, it's all in the past now. Your former boyfriend might have experienced a different world abroad and had his own thoughts, which is his freedom. The hurt he caused you is unforgivable, but we should allow it to pass. With Miss Luo's status and position, are you worried about not finding happiness in the future?"
Luo Shuxiu looked at Liu Zhizhong, smiled faintly, and said, "To meet a man like you, I already feel very fortunate. Or rather, you are my happiness…"
"Ah? Me…" Liu Zhizhong stuttered, "This… Miss Luo…"
"Don't call me Miss; it sounds rather unpleasant. If you don't mind, just call me Shuxiu." There seemed to be a subtle expectation in Luo Shuxiu's eyes.
"Uh… Luo… Shuxiu, your gaze makes me a bit…" Liu Zhizhong said, turning his head to look out the window, "overwhelmed!"
This serious, helpless, and genuine demeanor made Luo Shuxiu burst into laughter.
"You're quite funny," she chuckled.
Liu Zhizhong spread his hands, "Hey, I'm serious!"
Luo Shuxiu laughed heartily again, then wiped her mouth, "I'm almost done eating. You can finish up slowly; I'll head back to my room and wait for Uncle Han from the Provincial Public Security Department to come over. What about you, what are your plans?"
"Me? Well, I'll pay the bill in a while and then wander around Taohua Island on my own, heading back to Yangzhou tomorrow afternoon."
"I'll take care of the bill; no need for you to worry about that! I'll definitely have lunch with Uncle Han today, so I won't be joining you. Once they leave, I'll contact you!"
"You will contact me? Aren't you going back to the Provincial City together?"
"Go back? I haven't had enough leisure yet! Won't you keep me company?"
"Ah? I…"
As Liu Zhizhong was lost for words, Luo Shuxiu, already smiling, turned and walked away, leaving a trail of captivating perfume scent in the air.
The turmoil in Liu Zhizhong's heart was unusual!
The aura of a university English teacher was indeed different. It seemed she was getting attached to me?
Unconsciously, Liu Zhizhong took a deep breath, feeling quite uneasy.
According to Liu Zhizhong's plan, not divorcing his wife, winning over Luo Shuxiu, and even allowing her to get pregnant would be a powerful chip for his career.
But judging from Luo Shuxiu's actions, things seemed a bit tricky…
After the meal, Liu Zhizhong returned to his room to pack up and then drove around Taohua Island.
Mid-morning, while watching others fish by the water, Liu Zhizhong received a public service announcement on his phone and opened it, feeling relieved.
Goodness, Minister Luo!
