Reborn in the 1970s, the cold soldier is a bit sweet

After several days of secret investigation, he has figured out the informants around the Zhou family's old residence. Whether these people are monitoring Mrs. Zhou or protecting her, he cannot alert them.

Chu Xingchen quietly arrived in front of the Zhou family's old house, climbed over the courtyard wall and approached the main house quietly, the dark night just enough to cover his whereabouts.

The lights in the main room were still on, and it was obvious that the people inside had not rested yet.

Chu Xingchen was hiding in the dark, and through the blurred window, he saw the figures flashing in the main room. It seemed that there was more than one person inside. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he just waited.

About an hour later, two women walked out of the house. They closed the door and walked to the side room.

Chu Xingchen secretly stared at the two women. They were taller than ordinary women. They walked with steady and powerful steps, but they fell silently on the ground. It was obvious that these two people were not simple.

He waited until the two women returned to their houses, then came out of the darkness and slowly walked towards the main house. If he guessed correctly, the old lady should live here.

Chu Xingchen gently tried the door and bolted it from the inside. He took out a piece of wire and was about to pry the door open when suddenly a voice came from inside.

"Zuo Yun, I'm a little hungry right now. Go and make me some midnight snacks. Let's make some bean sprouts."

When Chu Xingchen heard this, his expression paused, and a trace of confusion flashed through his dark and deep eyes, mixed with some doubts. He reacted quickly and ducked behind a very thick pillar to hide himself.

After a while, another reluctant voice came from the room: "It's too troublesome to garnish bean sprouts. You should try another dish."

The ingredients required for the dish of embedded bean sprouts are very simple, namely bean sprouts and shredded ham, but the production process is very complicated. It is necessary to insert the shredded ham into the bean sprouts. It is a dish that cannot be completed in a few hours.

As soon as this voice fell, there was a "pop" sound in the room, like the sound of slapping the table, and then the voice that spoke first sounded again: "Why, I can't even move anyone around now." ?”

The reluctant voice took a while before replying: "I'll just go."

A few minutes later, the door was opened, and another woman walked out. The woman was cursing in a low voice as she walked.

Not long after the woman's figure disappeared, the door of the house was silently opened a crack again, and then an extremely soft voice sounded: "Come in."

Through the crack in the door, Chu Xingchen vaguely saw an old woman opening the door. Whether it was an illusion or not, he always felt that her eyes were staring at the pillar where he was hiding when she spoke.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he decided to trust his inner instinct and take a bold gamble.

After thinking about it, he came out from behind the pillar and squeezed in through the crack in the door. The moment he entered the house, the door was closed again, just like before, without making any sound.

It turned out that he was right.

In the room, a desk lamp was placed beside the table, emitting dots of light, very dark, like fireflies gathered together.

With this faint light, Chu Xingchen looked at the old woman who let him in. There was no doubt that she was the old lady of the Zhou family, the target person he wanted to see tonight.

Regarding his appearance, Mrs. Zhou acted very calmly, as if she expected him to come, which was really puzzling.

Mr. Zhou ignored the sudden increase in strangers in the room. She went straight to a chair and sat down.

Chu Xingchen retracted his gaze and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Zhou, please excuse me."

Mrs. Zhou stared at him with squinted eyes. Ever since someone broke the peace here last time, she knew that someone else would come: "What are you doing here?"

Her voice was extremely light, as if she was asking about something insignificant.

However, although she concealed it very well, Chu Xingchen still noticed the clue in her eyes: "I want to ask Mrs. Zhou about something."

Old man Zhou lowered his head and said nothing, and the expression on his face was incomprehensible.

Chu Xingchen was secretly worried, but his face was calm. He didn't speak, as if he was waiting patiently.

After a while, Mrs. Zhou broke the silence in the room. She ignored what he just said and asked, "How is the Zhou family doing recently? You came here, so you must have known about Xiaoya. How is she doing now?" Sample?"

After Chu Xingchen hesitated, he said, "Liu Xiaoya is dead."

He paused and continued: "The Zhou family is still there, but Zhou Jiangtao and Zhou Xueer are also dead."

Mrs. Zhou's waist, which had been upright, suddenly bent down. She looked at him in disbelief, as if her whole body was suddenly drained of life.

Chu Xingchen looked back at her and told her with firm eyes that what he just said was the truth.

He had just deliberately mentioned the deaths of the three people. His purpose was very simple, which was to destroy her hopes.

Back then, Mrs. Zhou was able to take the risk of sending Liu Xiaoya away, and also brought Zhou Xueer to teach her, which showed that these two people had an extraordinary importance in her heart. As for Zhou Jiangtao, it was because of rumors that Mrs. Zhou doted on her youngest son.

Receiving the news that three important people in her heart had died at the same time was enough to break down her inner defenses.

After a moment, Mrs. Zhou spoke with difficulty: "Did he do it?"

This "he" naturally refers to the current Mr. Zhou.

Chu Xingchen was speechless, and he was not stupid. It was naturally impossible for him to tell her that he had killed her son and granddaughter at this time.

His silence became acquiescence in Mr. Zhou's eyes. She was suddenly filled with anger and her eyes were red. She had to endure the humiliation and was imprisoned here in order to protect the people she wanted to protect. However, in the end, she still let them all leave. Gone by himself.

All the years of persistence collapsed at this moment. Mr. Zhou struggled hard to hold on to the consciousness of fainting.

When Chu Xingchen saw that she had misunderstood, he did not explain. Anyway, it was in his own interest, so there was no need to bother. He said again: "Mrs. Zhou, I have a few things that I would like to ask you."

Mrs. Zhou knew what he wanted to ask, but even though the situation was like this, she still hadn't made up her mind. She still had her eldest son and his family. If the truth of those things were announced, the Zhou family would be destroyed.

She couldn't let the Zhou family's bloodline be cut off in her hands, so she wouldn't have the face to see her lover after her death: "You go, I'll pretend you never came."

Chu Xingchen was a little unsure of the old woman in front of him, but it was absolutely impossible for him to leave like this: "Mrs. Zhou, sooner or later the truth will surface. It's just a matter of time. No matter what you do, There’s no point in hiding it.”

"If it comes to that, what will happen to those you want to protect?"

Mrs. Zhou lowered her head and remained silent. Even though she said this, she still did not let go.
