My Dongguan Love Story

In the early morning, the glaring sunlight shone through the window, so bright that I could hardly open my eyes.

I rubbed my eyes and looked down to see Sister Zhao sleeping soundly on my chest. I couldn't help but smile.

Watching her nestled quietly in my arms, she looked exactly like a little girl deeply in love.

Sister Zhao seemed to sense my gaze; her eyelids fluttered slightly, and she slowly raised her eyes to look at me. "Dazhuang, you're awake so early? Aren't you going to sleep a little longer?"

When I heard Sister Zhao's words, I smiled and shook my head: "Let's not sleep anymore, let's go have breakfast."

"Breakfast?" Sister Zhao gave me a wicked smile, then pulled back the blanket covering my stomach and lunged to kiss me. I was startled and quickly grabbed her: "Sister Zhao, stop playing around."

I was up all night last night, and I'm completely exhausted today. I really can't play anymore.

Hearing what I said, Sister Zhao smiled and looked at me: "Didn't we say we were having breakfast?"

Seeing her sly smile, a thought struck me, and I lowered my head to kiss her lips: "We can have this 'breakfast' another day. Let's have something else today!"

"Okay." Sister Zhao smiled and snuggled back into my arms, wrapping her arms around my waist. Her eyes were full of tenderness as she softly asked, "Dazhuang, will you always stay with me?"

Her question came as a surprise, and my mind went blank. I quickly took out a cigarette, lit it, blew out a smoke ring, and replied in a low voice, "Perhaps."

After hearing this, Sister Zhao shifted her body and sat next to me against the headboard, smoking with me.

I put my arm around her, finished my cigarette, and said, "Sister Zhao, I have to go. I have to work the early shift today."

Upon hearing this, Sister Zhao gave me a tender look and said, "Why bother going to work today? Don't go."

In her mind, the company is hers, and she can just find any excuse to make me not go to the factory today. She wants to spend another day with me.

When I heard Sister Zhao's words, I shook my head: "No, I have to go to work. I need to find out who the other people wearing masks were that night, and I also need to find Li Jianzhong."

Hearing my words, Sister Zhao nodded silently. Knowing I had important business to attend to, she didn't stop me. After a while, she said, "Remember to register at Shunda Driving School and learn to drive quickly. Once you have your license, I'll buy you a Mercedes-Benz."

Buy me a Mercedes-Benz?

When I heard Sister Zhao's words, my first reaction was happiness. I've never driven a car before, and my first car is a Mercedes-Benz? That's truly something to aspire to.

But then it dawned on me: if I took Sister Zhao's car, wouldn't that make me a kept man?

When Sister Zhao saw that I refused, she didn't say anything more. No matter what, we had to wait until I got my driver's license.

I got out of bed, quickly washed up, and came out of the bathroom. Seeing Sister Zhao still in bed, I couldn't help but ask, "Sister Zhao, shall we go?"

Sister Zhao gave me a charming smile: "I can't get out of bed."

"what?"

"You were too rough last night, and it lasted too long. Now my legs ache terribly whenever I move them."

I was speechless when I heard what Sister Zhao said.

Is it my fault? I didn't rest last night and still need to.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Sister Zhao gave her a strange look. She also remembered her wild behavior last night. So her face flushed, and she pouted, saying, "Dazhuang, carry me to the bathroom."

"Okay." I nodded, lifted the blanket, and carried Sister Zhao to the bathtub in the bathroom.

Half an hour later, Sister Zhao took my arm and limped downstairs with me.

Zhang Xiaoqian, standing at the bottom of the stairs with heavy dark circles under her eyes, stared at the two of us with a fierce and angry gaze.

Seeing that she looked like she hadn't slept well and had a dark expression, I knew that the noise last night must have been too loud and kept her awake.

But I don't care, I'm too lazy to pay attention to her.

Since Shufen wasn't home, there was no one to make breakfast. Sister Zhao didn't know how either. So I had to cook it myself.

I opened the refrigerator and saw that there were noodles, eggs, and lean meat.

So I cooked two bowls of noodles, one for Sister Zhao and one for myself. As for Zhang Xiaoqian, isn't she jealous? Let her be jealous, why bother with noodles?

Seeing that her daughter Xiaoqian didn't get any, Sister Zhao felt a little sorry for her, so she took a bowl, scooped out some food, and handed it to Xiaoqian.

To everyone's surprise, Zhang Xiaoqian's face turned ashen. When her mother handed her the bowl of noodles, she angrily slammed her hand down, knocking the bowl to the ground.

The noodle soup, along with the shattered bowl, spilled on the ground.

Zhang Xiaoqian glanced coldly at Sister Zhao, then looked at Dazhuang not far away, snorted, and walked upstairs.

She had just seen Dazhuang cooking noodles and was happily waiting for him to cook her a bowl. After all, she had feelings for Dazhuang and hoped to eat noodles cooked by him personally.

Who knew Dazhuang would be so unreasonable as to not cook for himself? As for the half bowl Mom gave him, he had no appetite for it. Humph, if they won't cook for me, then I won't eat it at all!

Zhao Fengyue watched her daughter storm upstairs and shook her head helplessly. She picked up a broom and swept the floor.

After we finished eating, we each left the villa.

Zhao Fengyue had to go to the company to handle a lot of business, so she left in a hurry.

My motorcycle was still parked there, and it wasn't convenient to hitch a ride with her, so I simply got on my bike and headed straight for Dingsheng No. 2 Factory.

Li Jie, who was on guard duty at the gate, saw me and immediately pushed open the door of the security booth to greet me, looking at me with concern: "Dazhuang, is that pretty girl alright?"

He still felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about the night before last, when Lin Guilian's belly was covered in blood.

When I heard what he said, I shook my head: "It's okay, the critical period has passed, and he's in the hospital now."

"That's good." Li Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but think to himself, "That beautiful girl is so gorgeous, it would be a pity if she died."

"Hmm. Have you heard anything from Li Jianzhong in the last couple of days?"

I knew in my heart that Li Jianzhong probably wouldn't show up at the factory again, but I still couldn't help asking Li Jie.

"No, he's long gone." Li Jie shook his head. "It's really hard to catch someone like that who flees to avoid punishment."

I knew it would be difficult, after all, Lin Tao and the others had searched for so many days without finding anything. Sigh, once a mouse hides in the sewers, it's not so easy to catch. I didn't say anything more to Li Jie, and parked my bike in the parking shed.

I secretly calculated that if Lin Tao and the others couldn't catch Li Jianzhong, I would have to find him myself. He dared to hurt my girlfriend with a knife; I would never let him get away with it.

Besides Li Jianzhong, who were the other masked men in black that night? Could they be Zhou Zhengtao's gang?

With that in mind, I headed straight for the duty room, intending to ask them directly.
