Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

Chapter 167 Fallen Leaves in Boston

Zhu Xia had to go back to have lunch with her grandfather, so she didn't let He Lianzhou take her there. He asked the driver to take her there, and she agreed.

While putting on his coat and changing his shoes, Zhu Xia said, "You should have a good rest today. Put off other things that can be postponed for now... and don't smoke in the near future. I'll come to see you in the evening and have dinner together."

After putting on her shoes, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips before turning to leave. However, the man grabbed her wrist tightly and pulled her back, kissing her deeply... Zhu Xia was so dazed by the kiss that he let her go and said, "Call me anytime."

"it is good."

The snow has stopped, there is little wind today, the sky is clear without any haze, and the steps in front of the villa are also clean without any fallen leaves or residual snow.

Zhu Xia was wearing gloves, her slender white fingers were wrapped in the soft material, warm as spring. She put her hands in her coat pockets and looked back.

The tangled and tangled thread in my heart seemed to be blown away by the wind, leaving only clarity.

The car drove away from Bomao Royal Mansion, Zhu Xia leaned on the back seat, and Lin Jiayue called her. Yueyue asked her what she was doing.

"I'm on the bus, preparing to go back to the Song family for lunch," she said.

"Is the situation very difficult?" Lin Jiayue asked.

Zhu Xia was silent for a while, then sniffed and said, "The most difficult part is over."

Lin Jiayue knew which part she was talking about, but she was still a little worried because Zhu Xia was sensible and knew the overall situation, but he valued friendship and loyalty.

The building collapsed, destroying not only the lives of the parents, but also the ideals that were regarded as the guiding principles and the people who looked up to them.

What collapsed was not only the happy family but also the spiritual support.

People you know, people you trust, and those in high positions…remain silent or even lie about it.

The facts and truth are buried so tightly under an immovable rock that they seem to never see the light of day.

"Sumer, I've mentioned this to you before. I became a journalist and dedicated myself to digging out the buried truth because of the sensational case of the shoddy construction project review."

And that investigation case originated from Zhu Xia who fought bravely.

Zhou's father, the person directly in charge of the project, was sent to prison, and all the executors, managers, bribe-takers and corrupt officials in the interest chain were not spared.

A huge "bloodbath" and endless sorrow. And all this was because of that 18-year-old girl who was like a warrior.

Commander Meng said that if she were born in a war period, she would be the most courageous and determined soldier.

Zhu Xia lowered her eyelashes. At that time, not only she, but also the Song family was under investigation for a long time. She sat in the small dark room, counting the days, confused, wondering if she had done something wrong. It is against the law of nature to shake a tree with an ant. Is the truth so important? People have long forgotten the incident that has been silent for many years. Is it necessary to dig it out?

Zhu Xia couldn't figure it out and began to give up on herself. Grandpa bailed her out, but she didn't speak for a week until the date to go abroad arrived. She came to her senses and continued to move forward to London.

Young and full of vigor, they believe that young men can conquer the world, and they rush forward recklessly, whether it is like flying into a flame or gamble everything on one throw, they have no regrets.

"It's common for the upper class to be hypocritical. Many of the things we see have been decorated. The turbulent undercurrents hidden underneath that we can't see are the most terrifying. If it were me, I certainly wouldn't have your courage to shake the high-ranking power. As for me, I can only expose shady companies and reveal unknown secrets. Anyway... see the essence through the phenomenon." Lin Jiayue said.

Zhu Xia smiled: "Reporter Moon will destroy you."

"This slogan is good." Lin Jiayue also said with a smile.

"But, whether the Song family conducted self-inspection or others conducted inspections, the results were the same. They did not participate in the construction project and had no interest in the project. If they were the ones behind this, they couldn't have done it silently, right?"

"The details are still unclear. The breakthrough lies with Zhou Mo's father. We need to wait a little longer," said Zhu Xia.

The status and strength of the Song family in the capital are unquestionable. It has the ability to cover up scandals without anyone noticing.

If someone said that grandpa was the culprit for the building collapse, Zhu Xia would not believe it.

She checked the construction project countless times and checked countless clues, but none of them had anything to do with the Song family.

When she found out the truth, it was her grandfather who supported and encouraged her, saying that revealing the truth was not only for her parents, but also to give an explanation to the other 25 victims and their families.

The road to seeking the truth is always bumpy and difficult. She involves the interests of many people. Those in high positions and business and political tycoons have targeted her... It seems as if they are saying that the victim does not deserve the truth.

Zhu Xia was forced to grow up quickly. She had originally been neither humble nor arrogant, and after she figured out the rules and gained access to personal connections, she felt like a fish in water and was able to handle things with ease.

Revealing the truth... has a price.

She sacrificed herself.

In curing diseases and saving lives, I found new value and improved myself bit by bit.

Lin Jiayue thought, there will never be another Zhu Xia in the world. Very smart, but also very stupid.

"Sumer, I support you."

Hearing Yueliang's familiar words, Zhu Xia chuckled: "The last time you said you supported me was half a year ago when you supported me and He Lianzhou being together. What are you supporting me for this time?"

"No matter what it is, as long as it's you, I support you!" Lin Jiayue suddenly raised her voice and said in a resounding voice.

"Then you should prepare to book a restaurant. I will return to Hong Kong City after the Spring Festival next month." Zhu Xia said with a smile.

"No problem." Lin Jiayue said in Cantonese.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Xia turned and looked out the window. The city was covered in snow, and the branches were covered with thick white snow after the snow fell, giving a sense of white and elegant beauty.

The scorching sun in winter burns the earth, melting the ice and frost at an extremely slow rate.

He Lianzhou may not be the blazing sun, but he can melt her heart.

When they first met, she felt that he was like a glacier in the polar night, like a calm and cold pond, violating the principles of mechanics.

Now that I think about it, isn’t this a violation of the law?

From a physical perspective, as long as there is a difference, when 7-degree water and 5-degree water meet and merge, the temperature is higher than 5 degrees.

A man who was at -7 degrees Celsius became 5 degrees in front of her who was at 7 degrees.

7 degrees, just enough to penetrate her little by little.

One degree higher and she will resist; one degree lower and she will be impossible to break through.

Zhu Xia suddenly remembered that one day after they separated, she was walking on the streets of Boston with a book in her arms, and saw fallen leaves floating down from the sky. At the moment when the leaves from the two trees met in the air, she made an absurd wish:

I hope he doesn't forget her.

……

The car stopped outside the gate of the Song Mansion. Zhu Xia got out and sent a message to He Lianzhou, telling him that she had arrived home.

Zhu Xia was fiddling with his phone with his head down when Aunt Zhao came over in a hurry, her face showing a rare look of panic.

"Miss Xia Xia, something happened!"
