Chapter 1854: It’s My Fault
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The three of them returned to the car. Qiu Yuluo was tasked with driving, so she turned around and asked Lin Yi.
“Where to now?”
Lin Yi closed his eyes and leaned against the chair in the back row.
“Do you know Zhou Liang’s family? What are his parents doing?”
“I know. I’ve been there once before.” Qiu Yuluo nodded.
“I heard that the family business has been handed over to his nephew to manage. The old couple are both at home. This incident was a big blow to them. They’ll probably stay at home for a while.”
“Then let’s go over and visit.”
“Are you sure?” Qiu Yuluo probed.
“As the team leader of Team 1,1 have to go over and visit since something like this happened.”
“I’m afraid they won’t like you,” Qiu Yuluo said.
“If you really want to go, you have to be mentally prepared.”
“It’s okay. Let’s go.”
Qiu Yuluo didn’t say anything else. Since Lin Yi had said so, she would accompany him.
After starting the car, Qiu Yuluo recalled the route and drove towards Zhou Liang’s house.
Zhou Liang’s house was in the villa area of Huanhua Creek. It was a typical nice neighborhood in Chengdu.
If it was in Zhonghai, it would be at the same level as the Jiuzhou Pavilion.
The Zhou family’s villa was not as small as Villa No. 1. There was a large garden outside.
There were a few luxury cars parked in the courtyard. One was a Phantom, one was a Mulsanne, and the other was a white Mercedes-Benz G-Class. They looked very clean and plain.
It also filled the entire villa with a gloomy aura.
Even the vibrant grass and blooming flowers in the courtyard did not bring life to this family.
The three of them parked at the entrance. As they entered, they were stopped by the security guard at the door.
“You three are…”
Qiu Yuluo showed her ID. “We’re Zhou Liang’s colleagues. We’ve been here before. This time, we’re here on behalf of our superiors to express our condolences.”
Seeing Qiu Yuluo’s ID, the two bodyguards took a closer look at her.
He seemed to have some impression of her, so he opened the door and let them in.
However, the most important thing was the document in her hand. No matter what the reason was, he had to let someone with this identity pass.
After entering, the three of them walked towards the villa step by step.
At the same time, there were three people sitting on the sofa in the villa’s hall. Two of them were a middle-aged couple. They were Zhou Liang’s parents, Zhou Xicheng and Fan Shuxian.
Next to Fan Shuxian sat a young woman in her mid-twenties. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her aura was similar to Qiu Yuluo’s. Every move she made gave off the aura of an older sister.
Ihe woman’s name was Fan Jiayi. She was Fan Shuxian’s niece and Zhou Liang’s cousin. After graduating from university, she had been working in the Zhou family’s company as a deputy general manager.
She came over today to talk to Zhou Xicheng about work, but looking at the
two of them, she held it in and did not say anything.
“Eldest Aunt, the weather outside is quite good. Let me take you out for a walk,” Fan Jiayi said as she held Fan Shuxian’s arm.
“I’ll sit for a while. Don’t worry about me. It’ll be fine.”
Fan Jiayi didn’t feel good either, but the dead couldn’t be resurrected. She couldn’t stay like this forever.
“Hey, let’s go out for a walk.”
Zhou Xicheng stood up and sighed heavily.
When it came to matters of joy and sorrow, a man’s emotions were naturally more restrained than a woman’s.
Even though Zhou Xicheng was also sad, after so many years of it being eroded by the waves, he had long cultivated his iron heart.
Unfortunately, his talent was limited. He did not have much talent when it came to exerting force in his dantian, so he did not have the chance to join the Central Guards Brigade.
However, ever since his son passed the Central Guards Brigade’s trial and became an official member, he had been prepared for this.
This was because he had already learned from his father what kind of place the Central Guards Brigade was.
Opportunities and risks coexisted. While being able to quickly strengthen the family, the risks members faced were not small, just like on this mission. Therefore, he had long accepted this matter.
He didn’t blame anyone. The heavens just didn’t give the Zhou family any good fortune.
However, as a father, Zhou Liang was still the only son in the family. His good son was gone just like that. He also needed some time to ease the suppressed emotions in his heart.
“Eldest Aunt, just listen to my uncle. Let’s go out for a walk and relax. It’s not a
good idea to stay at home all the time.” Fan Jiayi comforted her.
“Okay, let’s go,” Fan Shuxian said listlessly.
