Chapter 489: Full of Despair 5_1
Zhou Hongjin had already been suspicious listening to what Zhang Xiao said before. Now, hearing the truck driver address Zhang Xiao as "Young Master Zhou," Zhou Hongjin was convinced: the truck driver was targeting him, Zhou Hongjin!
Finishing speaking, Zhou Hongjin shouted towards Zhou Chenyue, tossing her the car keys midair. "I’ve got to handle something here. You take He Zhilan back to school first. Be careful on the road."
Zhou Chenyue’s hand shot up and smoothly caught the keys. This action was so skillfully executed that it was clear the two siblings had done this many times before.
"I got it, bro. Don’t worry." Zhou Chenyue patted her chest, then pulled He Zhilan back into the car, muttering under her breath. "Looks like they targeted my brother. He’s lucky he lent his dorm mate his car, or he would’ve been toast. You know, my brother doesn’t smoke, so he wouldn’t have come down to buy cigarettes and avoided this."
"Why would anyone have a grudge against Zhou, he’s such a nice person. Do you guys know that truck driver?" He Zhilan was also scared for Zhou Hongjin.
"I don’t know him, and from the looks of it neither does my brother. I suspect they’ve hired a hitman. Maybe my brother made someone angry in private, or maybe it’s due to family reasons." Zhou Chenyue shook her head. "Seems like I’ll have to start going out less too. If they didn’t manage to get my brother, they may target me next time. This is too terrifying; I don’t want to die young! There’s so much I still love about this world!"
"You should be more careful then. It’s best not to be alone when you go out." He Zhilan did not understand Zhou Chenyue’s reference to ’family reasons’, so she couldn’t ask more about it. All she could do was to remind Zhou Chenyue. She was actually quite worried about Zhou Chenyue’s care-free nature, fearing that she might soon forget about this incident.
