Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 525 After such a long time apart, has Zhao Bin's mother lost her mind?

After seeing his old friend off, Old Ge went straight back to the Special Branch and, unsurprisingly, called Zhou Yichen to come to his office.

Zhou Yichen already knew what had happened on Wangfujing Street, so he wasn't too surprised to hear that his old leader was looking for him; in fact, he had been mentally prepared for it for a while.

Old Ge is not an ordinary person who is easy to fool. Even if Chu Yunting hadn't shown up today, he would have been dragged over and questioned.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Chu Xin knew he had been waiting. "Will you confess everything?"

Zhou Yichen had already reached the door when he turned back. "Of course not. Since we're putting on an act, we have to mix truth and fiction to make it believable."

"Wow, Captain Zhou, you're not behaving yourself at all these days!"

Chu Xin crossed her arms and joked with him.

Zhou Yichen smiled faintly upon hearing this, looking at her intently, "I have to thank you for this."

After saying that, he quickly disappeared through the doorway.

Chu Xin's smile froze on her face: ...

Damn, I've been tricked.

With the end of the workday approaching, she was too lazy to wait for news. She figured Zhou Yichen and Old Ge wouldn't finish their conversation anytime soon, so she simply put away the two miscellaneous books on her desk and prepared to leave work.

They had no idea that someone was waiting for them at their doorstep.

After lunch, Li Xiu, who had been locked out by Li Xiu, returned.

Although the Chu family no longer lived in the military compound, it was a well-planned and constructed villa in its early years, with only one road leading in and out of the row of houses.

Before Chu Xin even reached her doorstep, she saw Li Xiu waiting impatiently under a large poplar tree not far from her home.

This time she didn't come alone; Zhao Bin, whose swelling hadn't completely subsided, was with her.

"What's wrong with this family? It's so late and they're still not back?"

Li Xiu cursed Li Xiu a thousand times in her heart. The second time she came to the door, she couldn't even get the door opened. If she didn't want to be laughed at, she would have shouted loudly.

What kind of thieves are they? How can they be so rude?

Zhao Bin saw that his mother's face, though she was smiling, was becoming increasingly distorted, and he knew something was wrong. "Mom... maybe no one's home. Let's go back today and come back another day?"

No, no, no, it means don't come again.

Li Xiu is now completely focused on waiting for Chu Xin, or at the very least, showing her face in front of Old Master Chu. That's why she brought Zhao Bin along.

Upon hearing that Zhao Bin actually wanted to back out, she glared at him with exasperation, finding his timid and unreliable behavior utterly unbearable to watch.

"What do you know? This is called attitude. Even if it's just an act, you have to do it properly!"

Zhao Bin looked miserable. Had his mother lied so much that she had even fooled herself? Wasn't the purpose of their visit today to lie to people?

But he didn't dare to actually say those words out loud.

Chu Xin was sitting in the car, not too surprised that someone had blocked her way, and drove straight to the two of them.

As soon as Zhao's mother, Li Xiu, saw the car approaching, she immediately put on a smiling face and looked at the car with eager eyes. Then she saw Chu Xin.

Compared to last year, Chu Xin has changed a lot. Her appearance no longer has that foxy look that people dislike, and her temperament is cold and aloof, no longer looking weak and easy to bully.

If Chu Xin, who tried to extort money from the Zhao family before leaving, was a troublemaker, then she is now a cool and aloof strong woman.

"Is this Chu Xin?"

Li Xiu looked at the people in the car several times in surprise, and then looked at Zhao Bin. The change was too great.

It's like he's become a completely different person.

Zhao Bin now has a traumatic memory of Chu Xin. He remembers every word Chu Xin said when he was being beaten. "Yes, right, Mom? Let's go back first, okay?"

Li Xiu wouldn't pay him any attention. She came to find Chu Xin in the first place, and she wouldn't leave now that she's seen her. She's not like she has nothing better to do.

He immediately beamed at Chu Xin's face, "Chu Xin, you're back? Do you still remember your Aunt Li?"

With his other hand, he tugged at Zhao Bin, urging him to say something.

Chu Xin sat in the car, resting her chin on her hand and nodding. "I remember. Even when you were unconscious, you still remembered to give me three thousand yuan. No one would forget that."

Li Xiu's smile froze for a moment, then returned to normal. "Look at what you're saying. Didn't we have a misunderstanding before? It's all Liu Cuiling's fault for stirring things up. But it's all good now. She's left and won't cause any more trouble between you and Zhao Bin."

"Consider the three thousand yuan as a gift from your aunt for your trip to the countryside..."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I have absolutely no relationship with Zhao Bin. As for that money, you know very well why it was given to me. You can't just deny all the disgusting things your family has done, can you?"

Chu Xin knew she wouldn't say anything nice.

However, Li Xiu's purpose seemed to be different from what she had thought. It didn't sound like he was there to interrogate her, but rather to arrange a marriage.

After all this time, has Zhao Bin's mother lost her mind?
