Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 418

Not long after they arrived at the brigade, Director Li, Secretary Lü, and Sun Tie came over, along with a large number of police officers.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw with my own eyes that both of them were alright.

Lü Xiaomi hugged her father and wept bitterly. Then Secretary Lü apologized and took his daughter back first.

He Yuzhu led Director Li, Sun Tie, and their group to the courtyard they had visited before.

Sun Tie began to take over the interrogation of the surviving enemy agents.

Director Li asked carefully and said, "It seems that the enemy has already learned about your invention of the new machine tool."

"Yes, I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly."

Director Li said, "I will report this terrible incident to my superiors."

Sun Tie walked over and said, "Shouldn't the higher-ups have arranged guards for He Yuzhu by now?"

"This is indeed a good idea."

"What? I don't want guards."

It's a joke. With so many secrets, if I had bodyguards around me, I wouldn't be able to do anything.

“That’s not up to you,” Sun Tie said with a smile.

Then it was explained that some key high-ranking officials and people who have made special contributions would have guards around them.

Although he didn't understand the extent of He Yuzhu's contribution, the fact that it could trigger a joint operation by multiple enemy agents showed that He Yuzhu was on their radar.

"Let's talk about this later. I didn't pay attention before, but I won't give the enemy another chance."

This wasn't the place to talk, so he left the rest to Sun Tie and then returned to the city with two police officers.

The next day, Lü Xiaomi went to work as usual. He Yuzhu was a little surprised and asked, "After something like this happened, why didn't you stay home and rest for a couple of days?"

Lü Xiaomi gently bit her lower lip with her white, bristly lips, hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Where's the pledge of allegiance and my interrogation records?"

He Yuzhu put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and said with a grin, "What, you don't believe me?"

"Just tell me, where exactly is that thing?"

He Yuzhu suddenly moved his shoulders and said, "Ouch, my shoulders feel a bit sore. It would be nice if someone could massage them for me."

Lu Xiaomi bit her lip and hesitated, then walked behind He Yuzhu.

She raised her hands and placed them on his shoulders, squeezing them firmly.

He Yuzhu looked very pleased and kept praising him.

Lü Xiaomi said, "Just give that thing back to me."

He Yuzhu said, "It's really gone. There were so many people there yesterday, and no one noticed."

Lu Xiaomi simply couldn't believe it. She had gone there specifically that morning, and there was absolutely no trace of the letter being burned inside or outside the house.

This would show that He Yuzhu had kept the handwritten pledge of allegiance and the interrogation record.

"Then what do you want in return for that thing?"

He Yuzhu said, "That thing is really gone. I burned it all. Don't look for it anymore."

"You lied to me!"

Lü Xiaomi pouted, almost crying: "I searched the yard, but there was no trace of burned paper inside."

He Yuzhu was stunned, not expecting her to care so much about this matter.

It was just a casual remark at the time, and no on-site action was taken. I still stored the letter of allegiance and the interrogation records in my spatial storage.

He didn't intend to harm Lü Xiaomi; he just didn't want others to see it.

After all, what happened last night was caused by her. If it led to her being treated as an enemy agent and subjected to investigation for the rest of her life, that would be the end of her life.

If I were to give her the item at this point, it wouldn't be easy to explain.

He Yuzhu suddenly grabbed one of her hands. Lü Xiaomi was startled and tried to pull back, but she couldn't get it out.

"Let go!" Lü Xiaomi said shyly, her pretty face flushed.

He Yuzhu, of course, wouldn't let go, but simply said, "Don't worry, no one will see that pledge of allegiance."

"How can you say it's still in your hands?"

Lü Xiaomi asked somewhat angrily.

He Yuzhu shook his head: "I really burned it, but the ashes were probably blown away by the wind."

Lü Xiaomi simply didn't believe what He Yuzhu said; how could there be no trace at all?

Looking down at her small hands, she was pulled by He Yuzhu when she suddenly realized what was happening.

Is He Yuzhu, this scoundrel, after her body?

She had met a man with ulterior motives at her previous workplace, which led her to work at the machinery factory.

But who knew that He Yuzhu was also a bad guy? He was holding hands with me, so he must have some bad intentions.

Lü Xiaomi gritted her teeth, her face full of grievance.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu only held her small hand and did not do anything else.

He Yuzhu knew that too much of a good thing could be bad, so he quickly let go and said, "Just massage my shoulders every day from now on."

Lu Xiaomi gritted her teeth, her face full of struggle, and then pleaded softly, "Please give me back that piece of paper, okay?"

"I really have already burned that piece of paper, it's gone. Where am I supposed to find it for you? Why don't you write another one?"

Lu Xiaomi looked at him with some resentment. What nonsense was he talking about? Could she write another copy?

Does this mean I should write a pledge of loyalty to He Yuzhu?

I was terrified at first, and I did whatever the other party told me to do. In a daze, I wrote a letter of allegiance.

By the time I figured it out, I had already pressed my fingerprints.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu displayed extraordinary power, seized the gun, and killed everyone who knew the truth.

But He Yuzhu said that the paper had been burned.

Before seeing the paper, Lü Xiaomi was very worried that He Yuzhu had secretly hidden it.

It should be noted that the two had always treated each other with utmost respect, and there had been no physical contact between them since that day.

Otherwise, why would he dare to hold my hand?

But in his current situation, he doesn't even have anyone to discuss things with.

He dared not tell anyone that he had written a pledge of allegiance, not even his own father.

At present, only He Yuzhu knows this.

Lü Xiaomi asked, "You won't tell anyone else about that, will you?"

He Yuzhu patted his little hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I haven't told anyone. Only you and I know about this in the world."

Lü Xiaomi was conflicted. After all, she was still young and had just come of age, so she didn't have any other ideas at the moment.

He Yuzhu gritted his teeth and persisted; he had already burned the note, and there was nothing else he could do.

Then, shyly, she said, "You can only hold my hand, you can't do anything else, otherwise, otherwise I..."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Aren't you one of them? You and Xu Xiaomei..."

At first, Lü Xiaomi didn't pay much attention, but after working at the machinery factory for several months, she had a chance encounter with Xu Xiaomei sitting on He Yuzhu's lap, and the two of them were kissing in the office.

But it startled her.

They just haven't made it public yet.

"Don't talk nonsense, we are both innocent."

Lü Xiaomi snorted, abruptly pulled her hand away, and turned to walk outside.

Over the next two days, Sun Tie frequently came to inquire, and the interrogation was quickly completed.

"The one wearing the Zhongshan Manor shirt was their action team leader, but unfortunately you killed him with one punch."

He Yuzhu said, "Then there's nothing I can do. They have several guns. If I don't buy some time, Lü Xiaomi will be dead."

Sitting next to her, Lü Xiaomi suddenly remembered that He Yuzhu had saved her life. If he hadn't taken the gun from her, she would have been a spy for life.

Sooner or later, the police will find out and arrest him. At that time, not only will he be unlucky, but his father and brother will also be affected, and he will become their sinner.

Although the note may still be in He Yuzhu's hands, the current situation is already a relatively good outcome.

Sun Tie said, "I'm not complaining that you went too far. At that time, you were able to fight back and take the gun, killing a total of 4 people. That was already the best possible outcome."

"I'm here today to tell you that this case has been closed. We've caught the entire enemy in one fell swoop. But you need to be careful in the future and be wary of retaliation from other enemy agents."

Lu Xiaomi asked with some concern, "Are there other enemy agents?"

Sun Tie said, "Of course there will be more. Over the years, it has never been completely cleaned up. There are always people with weak will who are caught by them and forced to write pledges of allegiance."

Upon hearing this, Lü Xiaomi's face burned with embarrassment, feeling as if Sun Tie was talking about her.

Sun Tie said, "There's something strange. According to their confessions, they interrogated the two of you for a long time, but they didn't create any written record?"
