Chapter 164 - Murderous Aura (2/2)
“Sure, sorry to trouble Brother Zhou.” At a glance, Qiao Nan saw that Qiao Dongliang’s expression did not seem too good after he came back. She did not reject Zhou Jun and went out with him to look for a fruit-selling shop.
While picking watermelons, Qiao Nan asked, “Brother Zhou, did you encounter anything on the way when you helped my dad out? Why do I feel that my dad seemed unhappy?”
“This…” Zhou Jun hesitated for a while. Still, he told Qiao Nan exactly what happened.
“…” Qiao Nan’s face turned black. “Brother Zhou, I am really sorry.” Qiao Zijin talked bad about two people at the same time. She looked down on her father and Zhou Jun. Unfortunately, she was caught red-handed by the two of them. Did this mean that Qiao Zijin deserved it? That when a man brings it upon himself, there is no hope of escape?
“No worries. She was not wrong in saying that. It is true that my family is from the village.” Zhou Jun had a positive mindset. Although he was looked down upon by Qiao Zijin, he was not angered and had a stable temperament. “However, when Uncle Qiao heard it, he seemed to be quite sad. He was already injured. You have to show him more concern these few days.”
“Thank you, Brother Zhou.”
“No issue. This watermelon is heavy. Let me carry it.” Zhou Jun picked up the watermelon in one hand as if he was picking up a bottle of mineral water. He did not seem to have used much effort.
“Nan Nan.” Qiao Nan and Zhou Jun did not walk for long before they heard someone calling them.
“Brother Zhai?”
“Regiment… Regiment commander?”
At the sight of the person who called Qiao Nan, both Qiao Nan and Zhou Jun were stunned.
Qiao Nan immediately smiled happily. “Brother Zhai, why are you here?”
“I have something to tell you.” Zhai Sheng knitted his brows. “Zhou Jun, why are you here?” Furthermore, he was with Qiao Nan.
“Reporting, Regiment Commander, my dad is injured and in the hospital now. I am here to visit my dad!” Zhou Jun was older than Zhai Sheng, but he was more serious and restrained in front of Zhai Sheng than when he was before Qiao Nan.
“Yes, it’s such a coincidence. Uncle Zhou and my dad stay in the same ward.” Qiao Nan nodded in affirmation.
“Zhou Jun, I have something to talk to Nan Nan about. You go back to the hospital first. Thereafter, tell Uncle Qiao that Nan Nan has gone home.” Zhai Sheng took a large step with his long leg, silently moving forward. He secretly created a path to separate the current distance between Qiao Nan and Zhou Jun, feeling that the two were too close. This naturally made the two of them move in opposite directions and back away a little so that Zhai Sheng could walk over.
“Ah, okay.” Zhou Jun was already aware that Qiao Nan and the regiment commander seemed to know each other. When he first met Qiao Nan, he was helping the regiment commander send something to Qiao Nan.
But, what was the relations.h.i.+p between Qiao Nan and the regiment commander?
He kept having the feeling that the regiment commander looked strange today. Compared to when he first joined the army as a new recruit and was training under him, he was much fiercer now. His whole body exuded sinister murderous aura, looking as if he was ready to kill someone.
Well… Maybe he had got it wrong. The regiment commander was a famous smiling Yama, the King of h.e.l.l, in the army.
