Peerless Xiaolong

Chu Yuan took Zhou Ziman to the night market outside the school.

There are many students here having late-night snacks.

After all, after studying in the evening, I was already very hungry.

Chu Yuan and Zhou Ziman walked into the barbecue stall. The little girl couldn't let go, neither standing nor sitting.

"Ziman, please sit here and wait for me." Chu Yuan smiled at Zhou Ziman.

Zhou Ziman nodded and sat down at the table with his schoolbag in his arms.

She watched Chu Yuan go to order food.

At this time, Zhou Ziman was confused and didn't know why this man came to him.

However, she didn't dare to ask.

Not long after, Chu Yuan came back, sat down in front of Zhou Ziman, and handed her a bottle of drink.

"The barbecue will be ready soon. Let your belly go and eat." Chu Yuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, uncle." Zhou Ziman said.

Chu Yuan didn't speak anymore, but kept looking at Zhou Ziman.

There is a shadow of Bai Yueqin on her body.

Chu Yuan didn't want this girl to embark on a road of no return like her mother.

Therefore, the Zhou Ziman in front of him made Chu Yuan feel a lot.

Soon, the barbecue was served.

Chu Yuan ordered hundreds of skewers, including all kinds.

After it was served, Chu Yuan gave a bunch to Zhou Ziman: "Eat it, you're welcome."

Zhou Ziman hummed, took it and started eating.

She ate with relish, but still couldn't let go.

Chu Yuan also started eating. While eating, he looked at Zhou Ziman and asked with a smile: "Ziman, let me ask you, how long has it been since you saw your mother?"

"what?"

After hearing Chu Yuan's words, Zhou Ziman suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Yuan blankly.

Zhou Ziman asked: "Uncle, do you know my mother?"

Chu Yuan nodded: "I know you."

"Then do you know where she is? I haven't seen her for a long time. A month ago, my mother said she went to work, but she hasn't come back yet, and she hasn't called me."

"I asked dad, but he didn't tell me either," Zhou Ziman said.

"Do you miss her?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Yeah!" Zhou Ziman's eyes were red, and when he mentioned his mother, he was about to cry.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, you eat first and wait until you are full."

Zhou Ziman buried her head in eating. She ate very slowly, as if she was reluctant to eat these delicacies.

Chu Yuan kept looking at her. About half an hour later, Zhou Ziman was full and took a sip of the drink.

"Uncle, I've finished eating." Zhou Ziman said.

"Zi Man, why did the man named Shi Jiangtao come to arrest you just now?" Chu Yuan then spoke up.

"My father works as a contract contractor for Qiangye Group. He is a long-term worker on the construction site. Because the building materials for Qiangye Group's new projects did not meet the standards, my father led the workers on strike and demanded that the company buy qualified building materials."

"Shi Jiangtao is the manager of the project in charge. My father led people to go on strike, so he hired someone to injure my father. He is now in the hospital, and he has not paid any compensation."

"They arrested me to make my father regret it," Zhou Ziman replied.

"So that's it." Chu Yuan frowned.

After hesitating for a while, Chu Yuan asked again: "Is your father seriously injured?"

Zhou Ziman nodded and wiped his tears: "His leg is broken, I don't know what to do. My father asked me to study hard, but I can't contact my mother."

……

Listening to Zhou Ziman's words and looking at her red eyes, Chu Yuan felt a little uneasy.

He reached out his hand and wiped Zhou Ziman's tears.

"Mom, doesn't she come home often?" Chu Yuan asked again.

"No. My mother often went out to work in order to support the family, but she never returned a call like this time. I don't know where she went." Zhou Ziman shook his head.

"Does mom love you?"

"Ok!"

Zhou Ziman hummed, "My mother was frugal at home and left all the good things to me, but she was very strict with me. Even in school, she wouldn't let me talk to boys."

"Do you like mom?" Chu Yuan asked next.

"like."

"Besides being strict, my mother has always loved me. When she was at home, she would make me delicious food every day and let me study hard. It's just that this time, she has been away from home for a long time."

"Uncle, do you know my mother? Do you know where she is?" Zhou Ziman suddenly looked at Zhou Ziman with hope and asked with some expectation.

Chu Yuan didn't know how to answer.

There was silence for a while.

After a while, Chu Yuandao said: "Zi Man, don't worry, your mother is fine now. She is in Yuancheng, but she can't come back to stay with you yet."

"What's wrong with mom?" Zhou Ziman asked.

Chu Yuan reached out and stroked Zhou Ziman's hair: "She is cooperating with us to investigate a very important matter, so in order to protect her, we are keeping her here temporarily."

"After this matter is over and all the bad guys are caught, she can come back to see you."

"Uncle, are you from the God of War Building?" Zhou Ziman looked a little surprised when he knew about the God of War Building.

"It's not really, but it's still true!"

"Then my mother, did she commit a crime? Did she do something bad?" Zhou Ziman asked again.

Chu Yuan asked in return: "Zi Man, if, I mean if, my mother did something wrong, would you still love her?"

Zhou Ziman lowered his head.

She might be thinking about something. After a long time, she nodded heavily: "Yes."

"Why?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Because my mother loves me and she is a good person. Even if she does bad things, I believe she was forced to do them. But my mother will never do bad things. She has always taught me to abide by the law and be a kind person. .”

"Uncle, where is my mother and what happened to her?" Zhou Ziman pulled Chu Yuan's arm and she was already crying.

"Uncle, please tell me, my father is in the hospital now, I can't live without my mother, please, uncle."

Chu Yuan grabbed Zhou Ziman's hand and chuckled: "Don't worry Ziman, your mother will be fine. I promise you, she will be back soon."

"Did she really do something bad?" Zhou Ziman asked crying.

"I'll hook up with you, and I promise you that mom will be safe and sound." Chu Yuan stretched out his little finger and smiled at Zhou Ziman.

Zhou Ziman didn't stop and hooked up with Chu Yuan.

She wiped her tears again, not knowing what to say.

Chu Yuan then said: "Zi Man, take me to see your father. His leg is injured and he should need money. Your mother told me to take good care of you."

"Did mother ask you to come to me?" Zhou Ziman asked.

"Yes, it's her. So, you don't have to worry. Let's go and take me to see dad. Maybe I can be of some help." Chu Yuan stroked Zhou Ziman's long hair.

Zhou Ziman stood up. She quickly packed up the uneaten barbecue on the table and put it into her schoolbag.

"Uncle, let's go!"
