Age: My Small World

Chapter 478 The Secret of the Mansion

Her cotton coat had become somewhat black, her hair was tangled, and Li Zijun's beautiful face was full of vicissitudes of life, with dead skin on her face that she had no chance to clean.

It seemed that she had suffered numerous setbacks in a short period of time.

However, at this moment, she tidied up her messy hair a little nervously, then put her hands in her arms and looked at Yang Jun with a confident expression.

Yang Jun suddenly shook his head and ignored her so-called secret.

"Are you used to living here?"

Li Zijun was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect his train of thought to go in another direction, and couldn't imagine that his answer would be this.

But she still replied: "Compared to death, it's good to be alive now."

"As for habit? Haha..." She breathed out sarcastically.

"Officer, have you ever seen anyone who is imprisoned and forced to work every day and still get used to it?"

Yang Jun frowned: "Don't forget your identity, you are a prisoner."

"Criminal? That's relative. To be honest, I haven't done anything to hurt anyone."

This time it was Yang Jun who sneered.

"Everyone who commits a crime thinks this way. They always look for reasons in others instead of thinking about why they are there themselves."

"To be honest, I was a little wary of you just a second ago because you were the only one who could deceive me, but now..."

He shook his head.

There is no need to be afraid of a woman who has no idea of her own limits and does not know right from wrong.

Li Zijun paused again.

"What's wrong now? You think I'm useless?"

"It's really useless." Yang Jun nodded.

"Your so-called secret may be of interest to others, but I don't think much of it. If you want to tell me, then tell me. If you don't want to, just keep it in your heart until you get out."

"Maybe someone from the office will have to talk to you again then."

When Li Zijun thought of that place, his face turned pale.

Although I did not experience any severe beating or torture in the office, there are always people who come up with more terrible methods to deal with me. Compared with physical torture, mental whipping is more severe.

"Don't!" she couldn't help but shout out.

"What? Don't you want to go back?"

Li Zijun came back to his senses and looked at Yang Jun deeply.

"Officer, you should have another identity, right?"

"You guessed right, but you're only half right."

"You're not from the office?"

"Yes, but I'm just a temporary worker." Yang Jun shrugged.

"How is that possible? How could they not recruit someone like you?" It seems that she is also optimistic about Yang Jun's counter-espionage talent.

"To be precise, I'm just a student at Jingcheng University." Yang Jun said with some pride.

"What? Wait, you said you were a student at Keijo University? So, you're not even a police officer."

Li Zijun covered her face, perhaps unable to accept the blow brought by Yang Jun's identity for a while.

"Yes."

"You should understand now that, given my status, knowing your so-called secret would do me no good. Why don't I just pretend I don't know?"

She murmured, "Yes, as a student of Capital University, you have a bright future. It's much better than working in an office."

"That's not the case. No matter what position you are in, you are serving everyone."

Yang Jun figured it out and actually looked a bit like someone from the relevant department.

"Ahem, well, if you're okay, I'll leave first. I just came to see you today. Seeing that you're okay and alive and well, I think you're doing well. I think I've done my best to repay your previous report."

He turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Zijun.

"Officer, are you married?" She still called him that out of habit.

"Of course not. I'm only twenty."

Her eyes lit up slightly.

Then he looked down at himself again, and his eyes finally dimmed again.

"Officer, I can tell you the secret, but I hope you can come to see me once a month, okay?"

Yang Jun raised his eyebrows.

"Don't you have anything else to say?"

"What else can I say?" Li Zijun laughed at himself.

"Officer, you are right. I am actually nothing. I am just a person who was sold and acted like a fool. Maybe I was wrong from the beginning."

"Now, my most important secret has been exchanged for medicine for my father, as a way of repaying his kindness in raising me. As for the rest of my life, I will just take good care of my mother after I get out."

"So, what else can I want?"

She looked up at the clean and refreshing boy in front of her, and felt a wave of glare. If she had met him at the beginning, perhaps she would not have made the mistake she is making now.

But it's all just delusion, the facts are the facts.

Then, without waiting for Yang Jun to ask more questions, she said bluntly: "Actually, the secret is very simple, just an address."

"No. 68 Jingxi Road Mansion, there is what you want."

"This secret isn't insignificant, but because the owner of the mansion is involved, it's very valuable."

Jingxi Road?
Of course Yang Jun knew this place. It was a small road, but it was quite famous because the people who lived here were worthy of being equipped with real guns and nuclear bombs.

It's hard to even mention the name.

"If you want to sow discord, it will be difficult."

He doesn't believe such things.

"Of course, this is not directly attributed to that person, but only to his relatives." Li Zijun explained frankly.

Yang Jun suddenly realized that they were relatives, no wonder.

Even saints have bad relatives, don’t they?

"I'll keep this secret for now."

"Then I'll give you a piece of news in return."

Li Zijun ignored his request for return and stared at him straight in the eye: "Will you come to see me once a month?"

Yang Jun glanced at Li Zijun, who seemed to be giving up on herself but still had a glimmer of hope, and assessed the quality of her performance before saying, "If I have the chance, I'll try my best."

"Of course, I'll bring you some delicious food."

He estimated that Li Zijun would not be able to eat anything good here, and it would be good enough if she did not starve to death. After all, this was not an era of prosperity.

He took out a handful of candies from his pocket, peeled one and handed it to her mouth.

"Keep these candies with you. Eat one when you feel weak, so you don't collapse from exhaustion."

She looked at him quietly, then ate the White Rabbit candy in her mouth.

Very sweet.

Li Zijun suddenly felt that this candy must be the sweetest in the world.

Seeing her carefully put the candy away in her arms, Yang Jun continued:

"I have another piece of news for you. Your father's illness has not been cured by the special medicine."

Li Zijun was silent for a moment while tasting the candy, then nodded.

"In fact, I already knew that there was not much hope for his cancer treatment, but I just refused to give up."

At this moment, her heart was trembling.

Even if you have known it for a long time, you still cannot accept it when the bad news comes.
