Half an hour later, Xiaoying was taken to He Zhijun's office.

Ye Tian had been back for several days and had been interrogating Fan Tianlei in the small dark room, hardly ever leaving the house.

Xiaoying didn't know Ye Tian was back until the next day, and today was the first time she saw him.

Xiaoying looked up and secretly glanced at Ye Tian, but when she saw that Ye Tian was staring at her, she immediately shrank back and looked at He Zhijun:"Chief, do you have something to talk to me about?"

He Zhijun:"Yes, there is something. Please sit down first!"

After Xiaoying sat down, He Zhijun asked Xiaoying straight to the point:"Xiaoying, what is your relationship with Zhuang Yan?"

"Me, me and him, me……"Xiaoying was flustered and nervous, not knowing why He Zhijun suddenly asked this.

He Zhijun:"It's okay, relax, I don't mean anything else, I just want to know if you and Zhuang Yan are in a relationship?"

"No, he and I are neighbors. When we were young, they lived downstairs from me for about seven or eight years."Xiaoying explained quickly.

Ye Tian was right next to us!

Xiaoying was afraid that Ye Tian would misunderstand, so she sorted out her thoughts a little bit and then told him some things in the past.

"Maybe he thinks of me as the girl next door!"

"Because, I heard that their ancestors were nobles, but they fell into decline during his grandfather's generation. Because of this, his father always fantasized about returning to the previous dynasty, not doing his job, drinking and gambling all day, and denouncing the injustice of fate. Otherwise, with his status, he would not have to do hard labor to earn work points."

"His father is a bannerman, and his mother is Han. She was always abused by his father. She couldn't stand his way of carrying a bird cage, so I don't know whether she divorced or ran away."

"I felt sorry for him, so I would occasionally give him books to read. When he had no food to eat, I would give him rice balls and rice crusts."

Xiaoying glanced at Ye Tian, very seriously, and tried her best to defend herself:"We are really not in a relationship." He

Zhijun nodded meaningfully. No wonder people said that Zhuang Yan was so self-righteous and looked down on this and that.

But, he also found ways to flatter Lao Miao.

That's right.

A bannerman!

He only takes people of nobler status than him seriously.

"Xiaoying, we have received news that Zhuang Yan is back. He is probably in Pingyuan or Yuanshan."

"Tell me the truth, did you come down the mountain this time to make an appointment with Zhuang Yan?"He Zhijun stared at Xiaoying with a burning gaze. He could clearly catch any subtle changes in the girl's expression.

Xiaoying fell silent, and her big watery eyes moved to Ye Tian again.

Who is Zhuang Yan?

Many years ago, in Xiaoying's eyes, Zhuang Yan was a poor little boy downstairs.

Many years later, in the army, she was bitten by a snake and fainted from fright, and she didn't see Zhuang Yan. But later, she heard from Du Feifei that Zhuang Yan shot and killed her savior Ye Tian, but it was a blank bullet, and Ye Tian luckily saved his life. As for

Zhuang Yan, Miao Lian sent someone to send him to the military court.

But on the way to the military court, Zhuang Yan grabbed a gun and killed someone, and then drove out of the border.

At that time, in Xiaoying's heart, Zhuang Yan was no longer the pitiful little boy before. He was a murderer with heinous crimes and an unforgivable traitor.

Every soldier has sworn to never betray the people and the motherland.

At that time, Xiaoying could only comfort herself for a while, thinking that it was not Zhuang Yan. Yan, not the Zhuang Yan she knew.

But later, she saw the wanted photo of Zhuang Yan.

It must be him.

Because of this, Xiaoying didn't dare to see Ye Tian for a long time, feeling guilty.

Later, she apologized and thanked Ye Tian in person. During the silent period, Xiaoying took a lot of effort to remove Zhuang Yan from her world.

From then on, she just pretended not to know such a person.

So, when Fan Tianlei told her that Zhuang Yan wanted to see her, to be honest, Xiaoying was resistant and reluctant in her heart.

She had never lost money to him, nor did she owe him a favor.

He could do whatever he wanted, it was his own business.

But...

Fan Tianlei also said that if she didn't go to meet him, Zhuang Yan would kill Ye Tian.

Zhuang Yan's life or death had nothing to do with her, Xiaoying, but Ye Tian, Xiaoying would never let Ye Tian suffer any harm, never.

Even though she knew it would be dangerous to go down the mountain, Xiaoying couldn't take care of it.

She would rather die than one day, Zhuang Yan was lying on a stretcher with the national flag covering his body.

"me……"

Facing He Zhijun's questioning, Xiaoying didn't know how to answer.

She was still thinking about going down the mountain to meet Zhuang Yan, to explain things clearly to him, and to ask him not to hurt Ye Tian for the sake of her taking care of him in the past.

Xiaoying thought that maybe she could still persuade him! Xiaoying would never have thought that Zhuang Yan had already thought of killing her.

If she wasn't his, then he would destroy her.

Anyway, she wasn't a bannerman, and he had paid so much to join the army for her, but in the end he ended up like this.

Xiaoying lowered her head, hesitating for a long time without admitting it.
