<h4>Chapter 1475: Chapter 1783: A Woman’s Little Thoughts (1)</h4>


    "An insider?" A man in a suit sneered and said, "Who’s an insider with you?"


    "My name is Ling Chen." Ling Chen pointed at his nose and said, "You might not know me, but that’s okay, just call your superior and ask. They definitely won’t be unfamiliar with me." With that, Ling Chen pointed at Zhu Xiaozhu and said, "She’s my friend. I hope you can release her. If there’s anything, feel free to find me."


    Hearing this, the men in suits looked at each other, and finally, one of the suited men stepped aside, took out his phone, and dialed a number, presumably to report to the higher-ups. After a while, the suited man returned to Ling Chen and said, "So it’s Mr. Ling, very sorry. Since we are all insiders here, I won’t make things difficult for her today." With these words, the man gestured to his associates to get in the car and leave.


    After watching the suited men walk away, Ling Chen held Zhu Xiaozhu’s hand and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"


    Zhu Xiaozhu shook her head, and with lingering fear, she said, "I was scared to death just now. Those people suddenly stormed into my office and dragged me out without saying a word." Pausing for a moment, Zhu Xiaozhu seemed to remember something and hurriedly asked, "By the way! Ling Chen, aren’t you on good terms with the military? Can you help me ask about the situation with my parents?"


    "Don’t worry, I’ll help you ask." With that, Ling Chen took out his phone and called Tang Yuan. Soon, the call connected, and Ling Chen directly asked, "Hello! Old Tang, did you guys arrest people from the Zhu Family?"


    "Zhu Family?" Tang Yuan’s tone carried a hint of confusion: "What Zhu Family, I don’t understand what you mean."


    Hearing this, Ling Chen nced at Zhu Xiaozhu beside him, walked away alone, and whispered, "Weren’t Zhu Qianshan and his wife arrested by your organization?"


    "Oh! Are you talking about Zhu Hong’s parents? When did we send people to arrest them? Tang Yuan, did you get it wrong? I only got approval today to monitor Zhu Qianshan and his wife’s phones to see if Zhu Hong will contact them."


    "What?" Ling Chen was shocked and hurriedly asked, "You didn’t arrest Zhu Qianshan and his wife? Then... Oh no! Could it be..." Ling Chen seemed to realize something, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately recounted the events to Tang Yuan.


    "Impossible!" Tang Yuan said with certainty, "Lonely Wolf has been reorganized, all actions concerning Zhu Hong are personally handled by us in Lonely Wolf. I can responsibly say that Lonely Wolf absolutely didn’t send anyone to capture Zhu Qianshan, his wife, or Zhu Xiaozhu."


    "Oh no! We might have been deceived." Ling Chen said solemnly, "Those who impersonated military personnel are very likely sent by Zhu Hong. Zhu Hong is well aware of his crimes and knows you won’t spare his family, so he took steps to relocate them first."


    "Tang Yuan, you just mentioned, when were Zhu Qianshan and his wife taken?"


    "It should be an hour ago."


    "More than an hour ago... Okay, I understand. I will immediately notify Old General to send people to find out where they are." With that, Tang Yuan said no more and directly hung up the phone.


    "Ling Chen, how are my parents?" Seeing Ling Chen return, Zhu Xiaozhu asked anxiously.


    Ling Chen hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to speak the truth. He didn’t want to make too many excuses to cover up the truth, and besides, Zhu Xiaozhu is Zhu Hong’s sister, she ought to understand everything. Right then, Ling Chen recounted the events of the past few days.


    "What?" After hearing Ling Chen’s story, Zhu Xiaozhu felt her body weaken, involuntarily stepping back. Luckily, Ling Chen reacted swiftly, supporting her, preventing her from falling to the ground.


    "Xiaozhu, don’t get too excited."


    Zhu Xiaozhu lightly bit her thin lips, the pink lips slightly showing a tinge of bluish-purple, "Big brother... Why...?" Zhu Xiaozhu murmured to herself, crystalline tears swirling in her beautiful eyes, "Why, why does he keep making mistakes over and over again..."


    Ling Chen sighed lightly; he also didn’t know how to persuade her.


    "Xiaozhu, don’t think too much, you are you, Zhu Hong is Zhu Hong, though you are siblings, your familial bond has long been severed. Have you forgotten? Back then, Zhu Hong didn’t care about your safety, willing to sacrifice you to achieve his own goals. A person who doesn’t even care about his own sister, do you think he still values family?"


    "I’ve long since stopped hoping for him as a brother, but... why does he have to implicate us? We just want to live a simple life." Zhu Xiaozhu’s voice carried a hint of sobbing.


    "It’s okay, don’t be sad." Ling Chen pulled Zhu Xiaozhu into his arms, gently patting her back,forting her.


    After a while, Zhu Xiaozhu’s emotions gradually calmed down. She looked up at Ling Chen’s sharply contoured face and softly said, "Big brother is gone, and now my parents have been taken. Ling Chen, what should I do in the future?"


    Ling Chen smiled slightly, "No worries, don’t I still have you by my side? Rest assured, no matter how rocky the road ahead is, I’ll walk it with you."


    Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiaozhu’s eyes, like autumn water, shone with a faint light, "Is this a promise?"


    Ling Chen confidently nodded, "Don’t dwell on it, let’s go, I’ll escort you back home."


    "But, I’m... I’m afraid..." Zhu Xiaozhu’s face showed a hint of concern.


    Seeing her worried expression, Ling Chen instantly understood. Zhu Hong didn’t manage to take Zhu Xiaozhu away this time, he might send people again. Ling Chen couldn’t always be by Zhu Xiaozhu’s side. Thinking of this, he spoke up, "How about this, I’ll call someone to take care of your safety, how do you feel about that?"


    Zhu Xiaozhu said nothing, but a trace of disappointment shed in her eyes. Seeing the emotion in her eyes, Ling Chen felt a soft spot in his heart and blurted out, "Then how about this, why not move to my ce and live there? Anyway, my parents have gone to live in Beijing; apart from me, there’s no one else at home."


    "Won’t that disturb you?" Zhu Xiaozhu blinked, her bright eyes showing a glimmer of joy.


    Ling Chen chuckled and said, "No worries. After all, being alone at home is boring. Having someone to keeppany is great. Come on, I’ll apany you to the dormitory to pack."


    At the hospital dormitory, while Zhu Xiaozhu was packing her luggage, Ling Chen went to the public restroom outside and called Nanrong Wanqing, also telling her about Zhu Xiaozhu’s situation. No matter what, Nanrong Wanqing was his legitimate girlfriend, and with Zhu Xiaozhu moving into his ce, he had to inform Nanrong Wanqing to avoid misunderstandings likest time.
