Hold His Hand

Xie Chengze fell asleep as soon as it was dark, and when he woke up, it was already dawn.

He hadn't slept so well in a long time.

Even if he is just a simple "Director Xie", in such a position, it is difficult for him to be assassinated from time to time.

Not to mention that he has another identity.

Director Li was surrounded by experts from the Secret Service for personal protection, but he couldn't trust the people from the Inspection Office from the beginning to the end.

He can only fight alone.

In these years, he didn't even have a single person to talk to, and he walked a tightrope every day, and he was prepared to die at any time.

Over time, he had trouble falling asleep.

Lying next to Lu Yanzhou yesterday was because he was too busy these days and couldn't sleep well, his heart felt a little uncomfortable, and he wanted to rest.

But he didn't think he could fall asleep at the time.

Even though he likes Lu Yanzhou, Lu Yanzhou is still a stranger to him, and it is always difficult for him to sleep when there are strangers by his side.

But in fact, he not only fell asleep, but also slept very well, without any precautions during the period.

Waking up in the morning, Xie Chengze still felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

He used to feel that there was a fire hidden in his body with nowhere to go because he couldn't sleep well, but at this moment, his fire had disappeared without a trace.

For a moment, Xie Chengze wanted to keep Lu Yanzhou behind, and slept with him every day!

But this is not possible.

He has done business for the people of Yan country these years, so he has blood of innocent people on his hands, but he is not willing to harm people if it is not necessary.

If Lu Yanzhou stayed by his side, if something happened to him, Lu Yanzhou would have no choice but to die.

He can't keep people by his side who will make him lose his vigilance!

Fortunately, this person is about to leave Chongcheng.

In fact, there was another reason why he showed interest in Lu Yanzhou at the beginning, and that was because he found out that Lu Tao was dealing with some private businesses.

Lu Tao wants to leave Chongcheng.

Lu Tao has some influence in Chongcheng, and he has a lot of money in his hands. If he sells his property wantonly, everyone can guess that he is going to leave, but the Yan people will never let him leave with so much money.

But if he left behind a large amount of property and left quietly, no one else could stop him.

If Lu Tao wanted to leave, Lu Yanzhou would definitely leave too.There are a lot of men in Chongcheng, but there are not many people who are as clean and extravagant as Young Master Lu. He has a tricky taste, and there will be no one around him from now on.

It was this little young master Lu who was miserable, and was sent to his bed before he left.

"Woohoo." Lu Yanzhou moved.Xie Chengze's breathing changed, and he was clearly awake. He wanted Xie Chengze to untie him.

It's uncomfortable to lie down like that.

"You'd better lie down obediently, otherwise..." Xie Chengze said threateningly.

Lu Yanzhou didn't move, and Xie Chengze stretched out his hand and touched the bare skin on his face: "It's so pitiful...you have to learn to behave yourself in the future, and don't provoke people like me."

Lu Yanzhou: "..." In this life, he didn't provoke Xie Chengze, right?

Xie Chengze has no plans to let go of Lu Yanzhou.

He looks ugly, even the adoptive mother who raised him and cultivated a mother-child relationship with him doesn't like his face.

Not to mention that he still bears the name of a traitor now.

A young master like Lu Yanzhou must hate him so much that he doesn't like to look at him more than once, so let's tie him up.

Xie Chengze lay on the bed for a while, and didn't get up and go downstairs until he was hungry.

Last night he slept without eating.

As soon as he went downstairs, someone from the inspection office came to Xie Chengze: "Director, Lu Tao has been waiting outside all night."

Xie Chengze was helpless: "When did he come?"

"Director, he came shortly after you returned to your room yesterday."

"Let him in." Xie Chengze said.

Lu Tao came in soon.

He came here by car and could rest in the car, but after all he didn't sleep all night, and he was still worried and frightened, and his complexion was not very good.

But he still had a smile on his face: "Director Xie, please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit."

"Don't go around in circles," Xie Chengze looked at Lu Tao, "Lu Yanzhou is in my room."

The corners of Lu Tao's eyes twitched, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

After he got the news yesterday, he went to the Secret Service non-stop, and when he learned that his son was with Xie Chengze, he hurried over again.

Afterwards, the people from the inspection office refused to let him in, and he was afraid that he would offend Xie Chengze and his son would not come back, so he could only wait outside.

Now... the Secret Service didn't lie to him, Xie Chengze really fell in love with his son?

Lu Tao hated Xie Chengze to death, and was already thinking about what to teach Xie Chengze a lesson in the future, but he still smiled on his face: "Director Xie, my youngest son is the baby of my old wife, if I can't take him back , my old wife would not allow me to go home, and asked Director Xie to give me a hand."

As he said that, Lu Tao also took out a bank check and handed it to Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze took a look at the check, and chuckled: "It's not good to keep your old wife waiting for a long time, I'll call her down."

Twenty thousand dollars...that's a lot of money!

The Western Yuan is the currency of the Western Kingdom, which is much more valuable than the silver dollar of the Qi Dynasty.

Lu Tao attaches great importance to Lu Yanzhou, that little kid was taken away from Chongcheng by his father, he shouldn't have a hard time.

"Thank you Director, please." Lu Tao smiled apologetically.

Xie Chengze collected the check, turned around and went upstairs.

After opening the door and entering his room, he cut the ropes on Lu Yanzhou's hands and feet with a stroke of the knife, and cut the cloth on his face lightly.

After regaining his freedom and seeing the light again, Lu Yanzhou immediately took out the handkerchief in his mouth and got up, wanting to talk to Xie Chengze.

But the door of Xie Chengze's bedroom was open.

Lu Yanzhou didn't want to curse, so he just sat and watched Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze looked in a good mood today, probably because he had a good night's sleep last night.

However, in the next second, Xie Chengze pinched Lu Yanzhou's chin: "What, I'm pretty?"

Lu Yanzhou's straight gaze made Xie Chengze uncomfortable - he didn't like being looked at by others.

What's more, he is so ugly, I don't know if Lu Yanzhou is scolding him in his heart!

Before Lu Yanzhou could speak, Xie Chengze said again: "Your father is here to pick you up!"

After speaking, Xie Chengze turned around and left.

Lu Yanzhou could only follow behind Xie Chengze and walk out.

As soon as Lu Yanzhou went outside, he saw Lu Tao, and Lu Tao naturally saw him too.

After being stuffed into a handkerchief and tied up all night, Lu Yanzhou's mouth was a little red, and there were a few red marks on his face... Lu Tao noticed this, and his whole body trembled.

"You can go." Xie Chengze sneered.

"Thank you Director." Lu Tao finally couldn't laugh anymore, he pulled Lu Yanzhou and left.

He took Lu Yanzhou into the car, and after driving for a while, Lu Tao said, "Ah Zhou, you've been bitten by a dog. It's just some physical humiliation. As long as you're still alive, you can get it back."

Lu Tao was born at the bottom of the class. When he was young, in order to make a living, he suffered all kinds of grievances and suffered all kinds of hardships.

When his son's experience happened to him, he didn't care too much about it, he just thought about how to kill the person who treated him like this.

But his son had never been wronged since he was a child, so he was different from him anyway, and he was a little afraid that his son would be overwhelmed.

Lu Yanzhou: "..." Why was he bitten by a dog?Although Xie Chengze said that he kissed him for acting, but he was very happy.

Of course, Lu Yanzhou knew why his father said that.

On the way, it was inconvenient for the driver to talk, until he returned home and was brought into the room by his father, Lu Yanzhou said: "Dad, nothing happened last night."

"what?"

"Dad, nothing happened last night. It was Xie Chengze who tied me up all night," Lu Yanzhou said. "The Secret Service sent me to Xie Chengze. I should be uneasy and kind. I just had bad luck and became a tool for them to fight... Xie Chengze didn't untie me or give me food all night, I'm starving to death! None of those traitors are good!"

Traitors are not good people, but Xie Chengze is not a traitor!

Lu Tao thought about how to comfort his son all the way, but seeing his son calm now, he believed his words.

His own son knew that his son was going to be wronged, and he wouldn't behave like this.

Lu Tao said: "Fortunately...but they came to touch my sons casually, I won't let them have a good time! When we leave, I will definitely give them a little bit of trouble!"

"Leave?" Lu Yanzhou was taken aback.

Lu Tao said: "Yes, we can't stay in Chongcheng like this. I have been making preparations for a long time, planning to take you away and move to Xiguo, but I originally wanted to wait until the New Year is over before leaving, now that I think about it , it’s better to leave quickly to avoid any surprises.”

As Xie Chengze thought, Lu Tao wanted to leave Chongcheng a long time ago.

It's just that he has been living here. Although he decided to leave before, he was always reluctant and wanted to live another year.

Lu Tao's eldest son and second son knew about this matter, and made a lot of preparations, but they didn't tell Lu Yanzhou because they were afraid of leaking the news.

But now something happened to Lu Yanzhou...they have to leave as soon as possible!

Lu Yanzhou knew nothing about the fact that the Lu family was leaving Chongcheng. According to the original historical trajectory, after the original owner was determined to be someone from the Chongcheng command station, the Secret Service arrested all the Lu family members.

When there was no evidence, the Secret Service did not dare to touch Lu Tao. After all, Director Li was just a dog in the eyes of Yan Guoren.

But as long as there is evidence, let alone Lu Tao, even the mayor of Chongcheng, the Secret Service can arrest him.

And after he wears it...he goes out early and returns late every day, so naturally he doesn't know what Lu Tao's plan is.

Lu Yanzhou said: "Dad, you go, I won't go."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Tao said.

"I'm not talking nonsense, Dad, I'm from the Chongcheng Command Station." Lu Yanzhou looked serious,

Lu Tao's eyes widened in shock. He knew about the Chongcheng Command Station, and he also knew that the Secret Service's arrest of the people at the Chongcheng Command Station had gone mad.

And this time, his son was also unlucky to meet the Chongcheng Command Station, so he was taken away by the Secret Service.

But now, his son is from the Chongcheng Command Station?

"Dad, now that the country is in crisis, I want to contribute to my country, and I will never leave." Lu Yanzhou looked at Lu Tao firmly.

"You little bastard, you... you have no skills, what can you contribute? Being killed by someone?" Lu Tao was furious.

Lu Yanzhou said: "Dad, don't underestimate me, I am a secret agent of Jin Yiwei, and all the previous performances were me acting..."

"What crazy words are you talking about! It's fine, you have to reflect on yourself at home and don't even think about going out!" Lu Tao turned around and left after finishing speaking.

His country was invaded and his compatriots were bullied, of course Lu Tao felt uncomfortable.

But he is not someone who is willing to die for the country, he himself is not willing, let alone let his son do it.

Lu Tao has already made up his mind that even if he is tied up, he will tie up his son.

However, seeing that Lu Tao was about to go out, Lu Yanzhou took a step ahead and got out.

"Stinky boy!" Lu Tao was furious when he saw this, and immediately said: "Come on, arrest the young master!"

As soon as Lu Tao finished speaking, the four bodyguards who were staying at Lu's house moved their hands, trying to catch Lu Yanzhou.

This is not a difficult task, they all know that the young master's force value is not very good.

But they were wrong!

These people only want to catch themselves, they won't use hot weapons, and they won't even be cruel to themselves... Lu Yanzhou resisted without hesitation.

He was a member of the special forces back then, and he lacked both combat skills and practical experience, and his intuition was far sharper than ordinary people.

The four bodyguards of the Lu family were beaten to the ground one by one by him.

Lu Tao was stunned on the spot, and Lu Yanzhou said: "Father, let's have a good talk."

Lu Tao brought Lu Yanzhou back to the house again, and talked with Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou said: "Dad, I want to stay."

"Don't think about it!"

"Dad, even if you take me out of Chongcheng, I will come back." Lu Yanzhou looked at his father firmly, his eyes full of doubt.

Lu Tao stared at his son for a long time, and finally looked downcast.

Lu Tao didn't want his son to stay, but his son insisted, and he couldn't help it.

The main reason is that he discovered that his son had grown up in a place he didn't know, and he had grown into something he couldn't control.

Among other things, with his son's skill, the strongest person under his command may not be able to beat his son.

Lu Yanzhou said: "Dad, if you want to leave as soon as possible, it will become more and more chaotic, and you may not be able to leave even if you want to."

Lu Tao sighed: "Okay."

After making a decision, Lu Yanzhou said again: "Dad, if you want to leave, I can help cover it. As long as I'm still in Chongcheng, no one will think of you leaving."

Lu Tao took a deep look at Lu Yanzhou.

After talking with Lu Tao, Lu Yanzhou left the Lu family and continued to work in his shelter.

The people in the shelter didn't know that he was transferred to Xie Chengze by the Secret Service, and Lu Yanzhou didn't say anything about it, but he acted like he was about to blow up, as if he didn't like anything.

The people in the shelter didn't know why, but those well-informed people in Chongcheng knew that the young master of the Lu family stayed overnight at Xie Chengze's place.

I heard that after Young Master Lu returned home from Xie Chengze, he quarreled with his father and dropped a lot of things. Afterwards, although he still went to the shelter as before, he kept his face dark and didn't allow others to ask about his situation that day.

By the way, Young Master Lu also contacted some members of the gang, and seemed to be planning to do something... Did he want to take revenge on Xie Chengze?

The Lu family looked lively, those who had a good relationship with the Lu family sympathized with Lu Tao, and those who disliked Lu Tao secretly laughed at Lu Tao.

This Lu Tao was said to be sick from anger, not only called his children back, but also sold some properties, probably in order to raise enough money to make things difficult for Xie Chengze.

Isn't this bullshit!

No matter how much he loves his youngest son, there is no need to confront Xie Chengze for his sake.

Everyone was thinking this way, and suddenly realized...that Lu Tao who was said to have fainted from anger hadn't seen anyone for several days.

The relatives and friends of the Lu family who were said to be going to the Lu family's old house to persuade Lu Tao also disappeared.

Young Master Lu goes out with a bad face every day, but what about the rest of the Lu family?

When everyone came back to their senses, they found that the entire Lu family was empty.

Lu Tao took his family, some old friends, and some relatives, and left Chongcheng together. Only his youngest son who is said to be his favorite stayed in Chongcheng.

Lu Tao...is not following common sense!

After Lu Tao took Lu Yanzhou away, Xie Chengze was ready for Lu Tao to trouble him.

He has many enemies, and he doesn't mind having one more.

Later, when he heard that Lu Tao was ill with anger, all the members of the Lu family went back to serve him, and he felt a little guilty.

Lu Tao is not young anymore, don't be mad at him.

People from the inspection office asked Xie Chengze if he wanted to keep an eye on the Lu family. Considering that the Lu family was about to run away, Xie Chengze rejected the proposal, and then learned that...the Lu family members had all run away, and only Lu Yanzhou was left behind.

Xie Chengze's face turned dark.

He thought Lu Tao was a good father, but... Lu Tao didn't take Lu Yanzhou away!

In the past, with Lu Tao's protection, Lu Yanzhou could have been arrested and sent to the Secret Service. Without Lu Tao, how would this little kid survive in Chongcheng where fish and dragons are mixed together?

You know, Lu Tao also has enemies!

Now that Lu Tao is gone, those people can't vent their anger on Lu Yanzhou?

Xie Chengze frowned.

On the other side, Lu Yanzhou was also a little speechless.

The Secret Service's method of arresting people by casting a wide net is very useful. The Chongcheng Command Station has recently arrested several people, and thus exposed some strongholds.

They don't have many strongholds, and it is even more difficult to hide now.

The point is, Da Qichao was dissatisfied with Zhu Haifeng's coming to Chongcheng for half a year and has been making small troubles, and wanted Zhu Haifeng to make a big deal.

Zhu Haifeng is not Zhaojun, so he can't steal valuable information. His subordinates are better at assassination than collecting information. After much deliberation... Zhu Haifeng plans to assassinate a few important figures from the Yan State, so as to make a mission to the Great Qi Dynasty.

And among the people he planned to assassinate was Xie Chengze.

The Spring Festival will be in a few days, and there will be many activities in Chongcheng. Zhu Haifeng wants to know the movements of Xie Chengze and other people so that he can assassinate them.

Zhu Haifeng had obtained this kind of information through Zhaojun before, so naturally he could only ask Zhaojun for help now, so Lu Yanzhou, who was Zhaojun's liaison officer, received the information from Zhu Haifeng.

Lu Yanzhou: "..." How would he know where those people were during Chinese New Year?

He hasn't even contacted Xie Chengze yet!

What's more, this Zhu Haifeng actually planned to do something to Xie Chengze... How could this be possible!
