Chapter 359 Bad News
This is Huan Xian’s thoughtfulness.
So Zhou Xiuwen did not immediately refute or explain the reason. He just said warmly: "I will talk to my father later, thank you."
But... there is a high probability that he will not Change it. He just turned his head away at this moment, and no one saw the wry smile on his lips.
Because this place is the only place where his father can relax freely now. He has been trapped by the responsibilities of the empire his whole life, and now he can only rely on such external objects to obtain a little peace of mind.
When the former marshal was still strong, he pushed himself into the abyss again and again in order to maintain the safety of hundreds of millions of people. Now that his body is weak and his life is burned out, he still has no way to escape. He can only be trapped in this incomplete and thin looking at the same scenery day after day.
Later, when they returned to this less prosperous territory, their lives became much quieter, and their father's spirit also relaxed a little. Uncle Rex proposed to build a spacious garden around the house to help Zhou Yuanjing recover physically and mentally, so he surrounded the large open space nearby and organized and dispatched a team to patrol the area.
This garden really made Zhou Yuanjing feel better. He didn’t say whether it was good or not. He would only send someone to push him around the garden from time to time.
But that was all, he was still unhappy... His father seldom smiled anymore, and it was clear that his grandfather once said that he loved to smile.
But who can save him?
The disaster a few years ago left the man sick, suffering from years of torture, and gradually declining.
Obviously the traces and legends he left behind are so vivid, but the cruel flowers of reality withered first. The warrior who was once so high-spirited, made countless strong men surrender, and was loved by all people, has since lost his complete and strong body and has become sick and disabled.
Even though he rarely showed it to them, Zhou Xiuwen also knew... Such a powerful father would occasionally sit by the window in quiet nights, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
He lost his legs and it was inconvenient for him to walk every day, even though he had a large number of soldiers at his disposal. But with his physical condition, insisting on traveling is just a drag, so Zhou Yuanjing has rarely left the Zhou residence in recent years except for official business.
The last time he went to school to watch a game, Zhou Xiuwen took a long time before he agreed. The last time I went out was three years ago.
Moreover, with the erosion of toxins in the past few years, Zhou Yuanjing was often in an extremely weak state, often lying on the bed, and his energy was not good.
However, the sudden pursuit by the military still alarmed the late marshal who was lying in bed. In order to protect the people of the star to the greatest extent, the other party had to support the military with a weak body to help the military close the net. Even though Zhou Yuanjing himself was not optimistic about this actually very bad plan, the people above him wanted to do it this way.
As expected, the result of the whole thing was not very good. So many people were exhausted and the matter did not make much progress. If it is not handled well, there will be another public grievance...
But this has nothing to do with Zhou Yuanjing, he has done what he should do. Those messy things are up to the person who caused this mess to end, and it has nothing to do with him.
This is all a story for later. In short, although this garden seemed to have a lot of hidden dangers, and maintaining it required a lot of manpower and material resources, this was the only thing they could do for Zhou Yuanjing. No matter how difficult it is, we must persevere so that this ill-fated hero can enjoy more of the beauty of life.

Hillman’s guess was right. Until they arrived at the central mansion, they passed several special doors in succession. Access control, or gamma detection of red light, or triple verification of identity, or showing ID license plates, etc. In short, it is layer upon layer of screening and detection, and strict exceptions are made.
Of course, Zhou Xiuwen passed every level relatively easily. Except for one of the automatic scan tests, the rest were basically done through facial recognition. After all, the other party is the son of the owner of the family, so he naturally recognizes everyone, so there is no need to do anything too pretentious.
They felt that the trouble with the procedure was entirely due to the live demonstration of the hover car behind them. The other party did not have this convenience and kept getting stuck. They waited one after another at first, but later they couldn't wait any longer and simply drove away, putting a long distance between themselves and the other party.
The atmosphere became more solemn as they went inside. As soon as they entered an inner circle, they felt dozens of eyes from around them focus on this side. Although there is no malice, the sense that cannot be ignored is always there, making the muscles in the whole body tense up.
What kind of family is this? The family was so vigilant... Although Jiang Hui had already made assumptions before, she had such a real feeling after experiencing it personally.
There is another access control, but according to Zhou Xiuwen, it should be the last level.
A few people breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the hover car following them could not follow them in a short time, Zhou Xiuwen set his own track to take them to the Xiaobailou where they stayed. Anyway, those few people are going to report to Zhou Yuanjing. Even if they wait here, they will have to separate in the end.
Jiang Hui looked at a staff member who was passing by quickly, and suddenly remembered something and asked: "Classmate Zhou, why don't you see the previous ones? They just escorted us. Those sergeants...haven’t they come back yet?”
Seeing the staff member who had just passed by, she suddenly remembered that several of the people who had escorted them in the arena were wearing similar uniforms, and they should also be the security guards around Zhou Xiuwen. Only then did she remember that the people who were following Zhou Xiuwen seemed to have changed their appearance, and she didn't know where the previous ones had gone.
Zhou Xiuwen's face froze. When he heard Jiang Hui's voice, he turned his head and looked over unexpectedly. He didn't expect that she would ask this, so the change in his expression that he couldn't keep at that moment was clearly reflected in everyone's eyes. eyes.
Seeing this, Jiang Hui subconsciously felt that something was wrong. However, the question has already been asked, and it seems a bit deliberate to say anything else at this time, and I feel a little at a loss.
The entire floating car suddenly became silent.
Zhou Xiuwen didn't expect Jiang Hui to remember this, and he naturally didn't forget it... because this was already bad news for him. Therefore, he had been depressed since he learned the news, but he didn't want his friends to see it, so he just digested it in his heart. He didn't expect that Jiang Hui would expose it like this.
He also wanted to know...where did they go? A moment's separation is already an eternity.
"They died." The young man said softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
