Chapter 360
When Xie Zhaozhao went out the next day, Mr. Miao was still sitting in that position, wilting like an eggplant beaten by frost.

The meal she asked Hongxiu to deliver last night was still placed aside, and Mr. Miao didn't move it at all.

Xie Zhaozhao hesitated, hesitated for a while, and then stepped forward to persuade: "Sir, no matter what, don't destroy your body. Only by living well can you have a chance to ask Miss Qiu Shui for forgiveness."

Mr. Miao raised his head blankly. He seemed to have aged more than ten years in just a few days. His beard and hair were gray, and his eyes were red and bloodshot.

He opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "Will my daughter forgive me? Will she?"

Xie Zhaozhao didn't know.

She is not Qiu Shui, so she cannot tell whether Qiu Shui will do it or not.

There is no empathy in this world. Only she has the right to make decisions about Qiu Shui. Others have no position or qualification to intervene, nor can they judge who is right and wrong between them.

In the end, Xie Zhaozhao only said: "Sincerity leads to gold and stone."

After she left, Mr. Miao sat there blankly for a long time. Finally, after the sun came out completely, he dragged his tired body and staggered back to his room.

He fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, it was dark outside and he didn't know what time it was.

He casually washed his face in the courtyard, and then moved to Xie Changheng's courtyard.

Nowadays, there are too many people in the post house and there are not enough rooms. Qiu Shui and Xie Changheng live in a courtyard and share two rooms.

At first Mr. Miao knew it and was very reluctant.

But so what if he doesn't want to?
Qiu Shui ignored his thoughts.

At this time, Xie Changheng had just stood up.

Qiu Shui was washing the handkerchief and passing it over to him to wipe his face.

She and Xie Changheng have been together for two years, and they have always taken care of him closely like this. The two of them are used to it.

The two started talking yesterday, and they looked even more intimate and natural when they were together.

Xie Changheng wiped his cheeks and hands, and when he handed the handkerchief back, their fingers touched. Xie Changheng took advantage of the situation and gently shook her hand, "At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the morning is still a little cold."

Qiu Shui glanced at him and took away his hand, "I'm not cold."

Xie Changheng smiled, turned his wheelchair to the table, and the two of them had breakfast together.

The breakfast table faces the window.

Mr. Miao saw Xie Changheng and Qiu Shui talking while eating.

Xie Changheng said that it seemed that Xie Zhaozhao was not ready to give up on the Qi family's affairs, and would probably get to the bottom of it. He wanted to help, but his legs were inconvenient, so he might not be able to help during the pursuit, but would be a drag on him.

Qiu Shui knew that what he said was not self-pity, but the truth.

We still don’t know which direction to pursue the investigation of the Qi family, and there will be countless unknown problems to face in the future. Xie Changheng is indeed not suitable.

Qiu Shui immediately started talking about Lu Jingrong who was beside Xie Zhaozhao.

He seemed to be a very powerful person with extremely powerful medical skills. Perhaps Xie Zhaozhao did not necessarily need them to follow him.

Xie Changheng joked: "Is he really that powerful, more powerful than me?"

Qiu Shui held her chin, "I said you are the most powerful in the world. Don't you know the real situation?"

Xie Changheng felt bored, touched his nose and shook his head.

In fact, he knew this very well.

After that, the two of them planned where to go in the future.

Mr. Miao stood in the darkness outside the courtyard, looking at his daughter and Xie Changheng with his bloodshot eyes, but he did not dare to take a step out for fear of disturbing them.

Over the past few months, he has seen that Qiu Shui has a strong temper, and it may be difficult to forgive him.

Mr. Miao closed his eyes tiredly and raised his head to the sky.

That's all...

She didn't want to see him at all, so he might as well just follow her wishes and disappear, keeping her out of sight. *
Xie Zhaozhao looked through the details of Lu Hanqiu's interrogation case in Qizhou, trying to find clues about Qi Jingran's whereabouts.

Another two or three days passed like this.

When he returned to the posthouse to rest in the evening, Hong Xiu came over to report: "Mr. Miao seems to have left without saying goodbye."

"what?"

Xie Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, "When did you leave?"

"I don't know." Hongxiu shook his head and said, "The tea and bedding in the room where he lives have not been touched for two or three days. The guard at the inn said that the last time he saw him was three days ago. The lady was talking to him in the front yard."

Xie Zhaozhao was silent for a moment and sighed: "I know."

Qiu Shui didn't seem to care about this matter. He vaguely heard it and sneered before giving up.

Xie Zhaozhao was not in the mood to interfere in other people's business, and he didn't think much about the matter.

Mr. Miao is such an old man, his willingness to stay or leave, and the father-daughter relationship between him and Qiu Shui are not something that others can interfere with.

Xie Zhaozhao asked about Lu Jingrong again.

Lu Jingrong has been in the post house for the past few days, studying the person who was taken out of the armor day and night, and giving medicine to the person.

Xie Zhaozhao is looking forward to what he can do.

Hong Xiu whispered: "When I delivered food to my husband last night, he looked very refreshed. Maybe there is progress."

"Is it?"

Xie Zhaozhao thought for a while and went directly to Lu Jingrong's yard.

At this time, Xie Zhaozhao had just had dinner, and the sky was getting dark. Round lanterns with dim light were already lit in the post house, and guards were waiting all the way.

Xie Zhaozhao entered Lu Jingrong's courtyard and saw the candlelight in his room extinguished. He was a little surprised: "Sir, isn't he here?"

"I didn't see him going out..." Hong Xiu was also a little surprised, "Just now I saw someone bringing food to Sir."

Xie Zhaozhao pursed his lips and walked forward. Just as he was walking up the steps to the door of the room, Hongxiu suddenly screamed: "Miss——"

"how?"

Xie Zhaozhao turned around and saw Hongxiu pointing to the dark place behind Xie Zhaozhao with a pale face, "Yes, yes, yes -"

Xie Zhaozhao also noticed that there seemed to be something behind him. He couldn't help but stiffen his back and slowly turned his head.

When she saw what was behind her, she forgot to breathe for a moment.

Behind her stood a giant about nine feet tall by the pillar.

The giant's face was hidden in the darkness, standing upright like a statue, not breathing, so Xie Zhaozhao had not been able to detect that there was another "person" here.

Hong Xiu quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Xie Zhaozhao, holding a lantern and shining it towards the giant.

When he saw the giant's face clearly, Xie Zhaozhao felt familiar.

Isn't this - the person who came out of the armor?
Hongxiu's face turned pale: "This man doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. He is standing here - did Mr. Lu do something to him? Miss, please step back!"

At this moment, the door behind him opened with a creak, and Lu Jingrong walked out with a sleepy face, "Don't be afraid...he won't hurt anyone."

Xie Zhaozhao turned around and asked: "Then is he dead or alive?"

"Half dead."

Lu Jingrong rubbed his eyebrows and yawned uncontrollably, "But this person can understand instructions. This body is invulnerable and can be used to fight."

Xie Zhaozhao and Hongxiu looked at each other in surprise.

Lu Jingrong yawned again, "I finished it last night, and I was going to tell you today, but I was too sleepy, and there are still a few follow-up steps that I haven't finished yet, so - you're here just in time."

Lu Jingrong entered the room and lit the lamp. There were tears in his eyes because he yawned repeatedly, "Do you want this person to be your subordinate?"
