Chapter 3793: Afraid That He Would Silence Her
Editor: Henyee Translations
The car pulled to the side. Zhou Niannian unbuckled her seatbelt and apologized to the young lieutenant colonel whom she had misunderstood. “I’m really sorry to have disturbed you today. Goodbye.”
Zhou Niannian didn’t want to be in the same car as Li Jinnian for a moment longer. It was too awkward for her. Before today, the two of them were still strangers. In the end, she went into his house as a guest and received Old Master Fu’s warm welcome and care. She felt guilty when she recalled Old Master Fu’s care.
In order to end this awkwardness as soon as possible, it was better for her to get out of the car as soon as possible. She would definitely not come to this area in the future!
Li Jinnian didn’t think that she needed to apologize. Seeing that she was still feeling guilty, he knocked on the steering wheel with his slender fingers and looked at the young policewoman who shared a similar name to him. “You didn’t disturb me.
“On the contrary, I have to thank you for accompanying my grandfather for so long today. Thank you, Policewoman Zhou.”
Zhou Niannian got out of the car with a red face.
Although he was a little cold, he was very polite. He didn’t mind that she made a mistake and even apologized to her. Zhou Niannian felt that Li Jinnian was a magnanimous soldier.
Her impression of Li Jinnian was limited to ‘magnanimity’.
As for whether he was handsome or not, she had never observed him closely.
Her two colleagues waited until they almost called the police station. For an entire hour, there had been nothing but silence.
When Zhou Niannian came out, her two colleagues, who had been waiting in the police car, pushed the doors open and rushed over.
“Why did you take so long? Did he do anything to you?”
“Zhao Gao and I were so anxious that we almost called the police!”
The two of them blabbered on. Zhou Niannian glared at them. “Why would you think of calling the police? Aren’t you the police? Why would you call the police? Did you think he’d kill me to silence me?”
“Hehe, we were a little worried. It’s good that you’re fine. We’ve been waiting for an hour. We were so anxious. We were afraid that you would be killed.”
“If you’re killed here, the case might not even be solved!”
“Shoo, shoo. What kind of place is Dangui Garden? Why are you talking nonsense? Hurry up and get in the car. Our boss is waiting for us to report back.”
Zhou Niannian smiled and got into the car with her colleagues. In the eyes of her colleagues, she wasn’t a woman. She was a police officer who could be as strong as three or four men. Her gender didn’t matter. She only had her identity as a police officer.
Li Jinnian didn’t turn the car around and return home immediately. Instead, he sat in the car and watched as Zhou Niannian walked out and left with her colleagues. Li Jinnian only started the car again when the police car left his sight.
The car drove straight out of Dangui Garden.
Then, he called Uncle Fu, who was waiting for him to go back. He asked Uncle Fu to pass the message to the old master. He would only be back home later. He needed to go to the Li family’s house now.
The Fu family was his home. As for the Li family, he would only visit them occasionally.
The old master was still thinking that Li Jinnian would go back, and he planned to have a chat with his grandson. When he heard that Li Jinnian was going to the Li family, he sighed softly and said to Uncle Fu, “Tell him to let bygones be bygones. He shouldn’t think too much about it.”
The person who deserved it had already been executed. Those things were over. If his granddaughter, Jian, knew about this, she would probably persuade him too.
Old Master Xia knew why his old friend was sighing, so he smiled and changed the topic. “Why don’t we play a few more rounds? I didn’t win a single round today. I’ll definitely lose sleep tonight.”
The old master laughed and stood up. “Let’s go and play a few more rounds!”
