MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 41

The journey went smoothly, no accident happened, no one ran out halfway to **** Liu Yin, An Ruochen was on guard. On the contrary, Liu Yin ate sweets happily, and finally fell asleep with An Ruochen's neck on her shoulders.

Just like that, An Ruochen walked into Zhaofu Restaurant with a little girl in her arms.

The back door of Zhaofu Restaurant is facing the side door of Liu Mansion, An Ruochen knows this. She didn't take the child to Liu's mansion to find Zhao Jiahua, but chose to go to the restaurant and ask the shopkeeper to inform her. She wanted to see Liu Ze's reaction.

Liu is not in the restaurant. But he also came quickly, walking in a hurry, with a tense expression, followed closely by Zhao Jiahua with the same expression.

As soon as Zhao Jiahua saw Liu Yin, he rushed over, regardless of the child's sleeping, hugged the baby tightly in his arms and called her name.

Liu Yin was awakened by Zhao Jiahua's rude actions, rubbed her eyes, and called sweetly: "Mother."

Zhao Jiahua's tears welled up, and she pressed her face to the child's.

Seeing this, Liu Ze hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, now I feel relieved. The child has been found, don't worry." He turned his head and told the supervisor to call back all the servants who went out to find someone.

After a while of excitement, the Lius remembered to invite An Ruochen to the mansion to thank her for sending back the child.

An Ruochen was naturally not polite and let them go.

When they arrived at the small reception hall of Liu Mansion, Liu Ze ordered someone to serve tea and greeted An Ruochen politely.

On the other hand, Zhao Jiahua had the opposite attitude. She hugged the child and refused to let it go. With a look of kindness and gentleness, she asked An Ruochen where she found Liu Yin, what was the situation at that time, and what was the situation around her.

An Ruochen answered one by one calmly.

Liu Yin was quite energetic at the moment, pointing to An Ruochen for candy. An Ruochen asked Chunxiao to hand over the bag of candies to Zhao Jiahua.

Zhao Jiahua took a deep breath, as if holding back, took the candy and looked at it, and said coldly: "Ping'er and Mrs. Chen said that it was just a matter of shopping, and Yin'er disappeared in a blink of an eye. I searched around and only heard what the shopkeeper said. Just now, someone was teasing the little baby with candies."

An Ruochen unconsciously frowned like Long Da did, so, is this implying that she may have sent someone to kidnap Liu Yin?

An Ruochen also replied coldly: "When I saw Ling Qianjin, she was indeed standing by the side of the road with candied dates in her hand. But there was no one else around."

Zhao Jiahua stared at An Ruochen, hugged Liu Yin tightly and did not speak.

Liu Ze said angrily at the side: "I'm going to drive Ping'er and Mrs. Chen away. I took Yin'er out without authorization, but I didn't take good care of them. If I lost them and didn't find them back in time, they would just cry. What's the use of keeping them."

Zhao Jiahua said, "How did they expect someone to attack a doll?"

Sing together? An Ruochen simply joined in: "Why don't you report to the authorities. Kidnapping a child is too abominable, we can't let the thief go. The shop owner can be a witness."

Liu Ze shook his head: "I asked the shopkeeper, he couldn't remember what kind of people came and went in and out of his shop, and he couldn't even remember whether he saw the appearance, but only remembered that it was a woman. Besides, he also It’s not certain that Yin’er was abducted. I sent people to search around, but they couldn’t find it. Fortunately, Miss An sent her back, otherwise we don’t know what to do.”

"If something happens to Yin'er, I don't want to live anymore." Zhao Jiahua said, his eyes were wet, tears were about to drip, he was charming, and his delicate appearance made people feel pitiful.

The play was really good. An Ruochen secretly thought that if Zhao Jiahua was really born in the land of fireworks, then he would have learned some tricks. She was about to offer a few words of comfort, but Zhao Jiahua gave her a hard look, turned around and walked away with the child in his arms.

baffling.

An Ruochen couldn't understand Zhao Jiahua's thoughts at all, let a child lure her here, and then left? What's the point?

Liu Ze seemed very embarrassed about his wife's rudeness. He smiled wryly at An Ruochen apologetically, saying that his wife loves his daughter dearly and was out of manners, so An Ruochen would forgive him.

An Ruochen was polite.

According to etiquette, it is not appropriate for her and Liu Ze to be in the same room alone, but she doesn't want to let it go, she has to find out something. So he said a few more words, and asked Liu Ze why he asked his servants to take the child out? Are you really not going to report to the police?

Liu Zedao: "Yin'er wanted to go out to play after taking a nap. My wife felt unwell and wanted to lie down for a while. She was lazy for a while, so she asked the girl to take her out. She never thought of such a thing. She knew that her daughter was lost. I blame myself very much. We also have no proof that Yin’er was kidnapped. It’s not a joke to make a fuss in the government office. If my wife is blamed at that time, it will not be good for the child. Now that we have found it, we will be more careful pay attention to."

"Boss Liu is right. Boss Liu is so caring and considerate to Mrs. Zun, which is really enviable. Where is Mrs. Zun from? Isn't her natal family from Zhonglan City?" An Ruochen tried deliberately.

Liu Ze replied: "my wife is from Feng'an County, Tang County. There was a flood in her hometown a few years ago, and her family members passed away. She had no one to rely on, so she had to go to her distant cousin in Xucheng. That cousin's family was not rich. She is a powerful person, and she was very unhappy that there were more people in the family to support, and her wife suffered a lot of grievances there. It happened that Matchmaker Xu went to visit her relatives, ah, Miss An also knew about Matchmaker Xu in Zhonglan City Yes, it is Mrs. Xu who is talking about kissing in Ms. An's house. She and her cousin's cousin are also cousins. Counting, they are also distant relatives. Matchmaker Xu is quite lonely in Zhonglan City. She just wants someone to accompany her. Seeing that my wife is cute and sensible, I brought her back. I was asking Matchmaker Xu to find a suitable marriage for me, and when I met my wife..." He smiled, a little embarrassed, "Well, that's it, Then we became a relative."

An Ruochen nodded, and said obediently: "This is really a marriage of thousands of miles."

Liu Ze pursed his lips and smiled, actually looking a little shy.

An Ruochen asked: "This time the child was abducted and thrown by the side of the road. Could it be a prank by the enemy?"

Liu Ze thought for a while, then shook his head: "Although I run a restaurant, I have customers from all walks of life, but I have always paid attention to harmony and making money, and I rarely offend people. Girl, Liu is very grateful."

He only investigated the reason on himself, and didn't think of Zhao Jiahua's bad side at all.

An Ruochen couldn't think of how to ask again, so he said goodbye after a few polite words.

Liu Ze personally sent her to the gate of the house and expressed his gratitude again.

An Ruochen walked out for a while and looked back, Liu smiled at her, and then turned around and retreated into the mansion gate.

Seeing this, Chun Xiao whispered in An Ruochen's ear: "This Boss Liu is more reasonable than his wife. Miss, we did something good but we were almost accused of abducting the child. Did you see the eyes of Mrs. Liu just now? It looks like we are looking at the bad guys. Hmph."

An Ruochen didn't answer. She couldn't figure it out, so she thought about the general.

An Ruochen went back to Ziyun Tower and immediately went to find Long Da.

Hearing from the guard that the general has returned, he is in the house, and if Manager An comes to visit, let her in.

An Ruochen was happy, and rushed in hastily, almost jumped into the room when the door was answered, but just as she entered, she saw Long Da holding a thin book in his hand.

An Ruochen froze for a moment, and almost forgot about it.

What a coincidence, this is the time to read "The New Biography of General Dragon".

Long Da looked up at her, showing his eyes from the top of the book, with a smile in his eyes, the warm eyes were rather tiresome, he wanted to read happily while reading. It's just that I don't know whether I am flattered by the rhetoric and exaggeration, or I really appreciate her literary talent.

An Ruochen resisted the urge to run away, "Uh..." Gather up and calm down.

There's nothing wrong with writing a book assignment well.

Clearing her throat and straightening her back, An Ruochen put on a serious look: "General."

Long Da put down the book, revealing his entire face.

That expression was so serious that no one dared to take it lightly.

"General." An Ruochen became more serious. "The servant has something to report."

The word "servant" has been practiced hard for many days, and now she speaks it smoothly and neatly. An Ruochen feels that this has a positive effect on maintaining a stable communication atmosphere.

"Well, let's talk." Long Dahao waited in his spare time.

An Ruochen hurriedly got to the point, and explained in detail what happened today.

"General, is Zhao Jiahua trying to test me? She told me earlier that children are her weakness, and then she put the weakness in front of me to see what I would do."

"See what you can do?" Long Da asked.

An Ruochen was also at a loss: "I don't think so. I can't guess her intentions at all. Could it be that she wants to accuse me of stealing her child? Even if the accusation fails, pour me dirty water, make people around me suspicious, and hinder me from investigating the case." ?”

Long Da pondered for a moment, and said, "How do people around you react?"

An Ruochen talked about Liu Ze's situation with the shopkeeper of the restaurant, the steward of Liu's residence, the maid, and others, and also detailed the conversation between her and Liu Ze.

Long Da raised his eyebrows: "What do you think is the problem?"

"I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Liu trusted his wife very much and was considerate and caring. The servants also responded as usual."

"Then why did Zhao Jiahua deliberately ask you to pay attention to Li Xiu'er?"

"Show they're a gang and get my attention?"

"She is more suspected than Li Xiu'er, why bother."

An Ruochen was taken aback. That's right, if they didn't know each other and refused to admit each other, she wouldn't be able to investigate. But Zhao Jiahua deliberately hitched up Li Xiuer...

"Also, did Liu Ze explain it to you in too much detail?"

An Ruochen was startled again. too detailed?

"Such a complicated relationship, where was he born, what disaster happened, who did he go to, how did he meet Matchmaker Xu, why did he come to Zhonglan City with Matchmaker Xu. Why should I say so much to an unfamiliar outsider. If it were me, Just say where she is from, and more, say that she is a distant relative of Matchmaker Xu, because you also know Matchmaker Xu. But you didn't ask carefully, but he took the initiative to detail the source of origin, which is a bit more attentive."

"..." An Ruochen felt as if a light flashed in the mist, but she still couldn't see the context clearly. "The general thinks that perhaps Boss Liu is not ignorant of Zhao Jiahua's matter?"

"When you ask like this, I think, what's the difference between Zhao Jiahua and Li Xiu'er?"

An Ruochen quickly replied: "Zhao Jiahua is from another county, and Li Xiuer is from this county. Zhao Jiahua gave birth to a daughter, but Li Xiuer has no children. Zhao Jiahua has no other relatives, and Li Xiuer has a blind mother and step-sister." Added: "Zhao Jiahua is two years older than Li Xiuer."

Long Dao: "Li Xiu'er is in charge, but Zhao Jiahua is not."

An Ruochen: "..." So how did Zhao Jiahua collect information?

Long Da looked at her: "Xie Gang told me that one of the reasons why you targeted Zhao Jiahua was because I met you at Zhaofu Restaurant on purpose. I met you there because Zhao Jiahua was picked up by Matchmaker Xu from another county. Girl, this is different from other people. Another point is that it is close to the Yamen, and it is also a place for eating and drinking. People come and go, and it is easy to get lost. If there is news to be spread quietly, such an occasion is perfect."

"And I just stare at Zhao Jiahua."
