Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

"Shi Zhou, Xiao Chu may have known from the beginning that they were spies. She probably wanted to risk her life to lure them out."

Pei Shizhou's face darkened as he recalled Xia Yichu saving Su Qingyan. It was actually quite possible; she was incredibly audacious.

No, Xia Yichu needs to be taught a lesson for this, otherwise, who knows what dangerous things she might do in the future.

However, as someone who had just started dating Xia Yichu, he couldn't afford to lose his temper with her. What if Xia Yichu got angry and broke up with him? Wouldn't that be shooting himself in the foot? Meanwhile, Xia Guoan was still rambling on and on.

"I don't know what to do with Xiao Chu. I can't talk to her, and I can't hit her. She didn't grow up by my side, so I don't understand her personality at all."

I can't say anything to her, and even if I did, she wouldn't listen to me; it would only push Xiao Chu further away. What should I do with Xiao Chu?

Pei Shizhou's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He and Uncle Xia couldn't easily discuss Xia Yichu, but the Lin family could! And Xiao Chu would definitely listen to them. However, if Xiao Chu knew he was the one who called the Lin family, she would definitely be angry.

Xia Guoan sighed and said, "I'm afraid that if Xiao Chu encounters trouble in the future, she will do the same thing as today. She's not even twenty years old yet. Can a girl like her handle spies?"

Yes, she escaped by sheer luck this time. But what about next time! And the time after that! Can she really be so lucky to get away with it every time?

Pei Shizhou stared at Xia Guoan, wondering if he should ask Uncle Xia to call the Lin family over. After all, their father-daughter relationship was never going to improve much. He would treat Uncle Xia better in the future and speak well of him to Xiao Chu.

"Uncle Xia, have you told Uncle Lin about Xiao Chu being kidnapped?" Pei Shizhou asked, pretending not to care.

"No, how could I dare tell her uncle? If he knew that Xiao Chu was kidnapped by spies because of me, he would definitely kill me with a kitchen knife."

Xia Guoan shuddered at the thought. No, Lin Weidong must not know about this.

"But, Uncle Xia, what if Uncle Lin finds out about Xiao Chu from someone else? Wouldn't that mean you..."

"To die even more tragically," Pei Shizhou thought to himself, but didn't say it aloud.

After hearing Pei Shizhou's words, Xia Guoan could no longer sit still and stood up, pacing back and forth.

"Uncle Xia, why don't you just tell Uncle Lin yourself? It's better than him finding out from someone else," Pei Shizhou continued to persuade Xia Guoan.

"Yes, what you said makes some sense. I'll go call my older brother."

Xia Guoan walked towards the phone next to Xia Yichu's house. Fortunately, before Lin Weidong went back last year, Xia Guoan asked him for the phone number of the convenience store next to Lin's house.

Fearing that he might not be able to contact the Lin family if something happened, Lin Weidong readily gave them his contact information and even gave Xia Guoan his work unit's phone number.

"Hey, Uncle Xia, wait a minute. What if Xiao Chu gets angry if she finds out about this? Maybe we shouldn't call now, and we can talk about it later."

After all, Xiao Chu grew up in the Lin family, and she probably wouldn't want her uncle from the Lin family to know about her past.

Pei Shizhou pressed the phone down, preventing Xia Guoan from making the call. He had been talking to Xia Guoan for so long, but he still hadn't figured out the main point, so he decided to be more direct.

"Good lad, thank goodness you reminded me. How come I didn't think of that! Xiao Chu will definitely listen to her uncle, I absolutely have to make this call, move aside."

Xia Guoan looked at Pei Shizhou with admiration and told him to leave quickly.

"Uncle Xia, please don't be impulsive. Why don't we wait until Xiao Chu wakes up and ask for her opinion? I'm afraid she'll be angry."

Pei Shizhou still didn't want to leave and stood by the phone, refusing to go.

"Are you even a man? A grown man dawdling like this. Don't worry, I'll take the blame for Xiao Chu's anger and promise not to involve you."

Xia Guoan easily pulled Pei Shizhou away, then took out a small notebook from his bag, flipped through a couple of pages, and started making a phone call.

"Hello, I'm looking for Lin Weidong. Oh, okay, thank you for your help."

At this time, Lin Weidong should be at work, so he called Lin Weidong's workplace. The person who answered the phone told him to call back in two minutes while he went to get Lin Weidong to come and answer the phone.

Uncle Xia

"Go away, I'm hungry. Go buy me steamed buns and soy milk."

Seeing that Pei Shizhou still wanted to stop him from making the call, Xia Guoan wanted to send him away. Actually, he had just eaten breakfast at Wu Mingli's place before coming over, and he thought Pei Shizhou was getting in the way.

"Okay, Uncle Xia, please don't tell Uncle Lin that Xiao Chu knew the other party was a spy but still risked her life."

"Alright, go ahead!" Xia Guoan waved his hand, urging him to leave quickly.

After Pei Shizhou left, Xia Guoan glanced at his watch; more than three minutes had passed. Lin Weidong must be getting impatient, so he quickly picked up the phone and dialed the number he had just received.

"Hey, big brother, it's me."

Xia Guoan held the phone, bending over as he spoke. Lin Weidong was half a head shorter than him, and he was used to talking to him like that. Even on the phone, he couldn't help but do that whenever he heard Lin Weidong's voice.

Who are you?

Lin Weidong asked blankly, forgiving Lin Weidong for not being able to recall Xia Guoan's voice for the moment.

"Brother, it's me, Xia Guoan."

"Has something happened to Xiao Chu? I knew something was going to happen to Xiao Chu sooner or later since she acknowledged you."

"Big brother, you're so smart! Xiao Chu has been kidnapped by spies."

Xia Guoan first praised Lin Weidong, then his voice trembled with apprehension. The other end of the phone erupted in anger. Lin Weidong roared, "Xia Guoan, how have you taken care of Xiao Chu? How old is she? You've put her in such a dangerous situation!"

Before Xia Guoan could explain, Lin Weidong continued to berate him: "I entrusted Xiao Chu to you, and this is how you report back? Are those spies connected to you? How can you be so useless, unable to even protect your own daughter!"

Xia Guoan was so scolded that he dared not utter a sound, and could only keep apologizing. Lin Weidong became angrier and angrier as he spoke: "I shouldn't have let Xiao Chu acknowledge you in the first place! Look at the mess you've made! If anything happens to Xiao Chu, I'll never forgive you!"

Xia Guoan kept his head down, his forehead covered in sweat, and could only repeat "I'm sorry" over and over again.

Lin Weidong concluded with a harsh warning: "I'm on my way right now. If anything happens to Xiao Chu, you'll be sorry!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone, leaving Xia Guoan standing there, filled with regret.

No, he hadn't told Lin Weidong that Xiao Chu was alright. The spy had already been caught, so why did Lin Weidong hang up the phone?

When he finally realized what was happening and tried to call back, the person who answered said Lin Weidong had taken leave. Xia Guoan was stunned. Afraid that Lin Weidong would worry, he quickly called the convenience store.

The convenience store owner said the Lin family's door was locked and no one was home. That's it, once Lin Weidong comes to Pengcheng, he's doomed.

"Uncle Xia, the steamed buns and soy milk are here."

As soon as Pei Shizhou entered the house, he saw Xia Guoan sitting on the sofa with a long face. Pei Shizhou assumed he had been scolded by Lin Weidong and didn't dare to ask him.

"I'm not eating, you eat it yourself. I have a terrible headache, I want to go rest for a while."

"Should I take you to the hospital to get checked out?" Pei Shizhou asked worriedly.

"No need, I'll be fine after a nap."

"Okay, I'll go make your bed."

Xia Guoan didn't refuse. After Pei Shizhou helped him make the bed, he went to Lin Xingcheng's room to sleep. He tossed and turned for a long time before finally drifting off to sleep.
