Chapter 125: Sonoko's Journey of Persuasion
"Yuanzi, what's wrong with you? And Zhou Haojun..."
Xiaolan was stunned before she finished speaking, because she realized that there was a big hole on the head of Zhou Hao who was lying on the ground. Upon closer inspection, she found that it was caused by a bullet.
Fortunately, Xiaolan's rationality soon prevailed after her initial daze. She looked at the big hole on Zhou Hao's head and found that although the hole looked scary, no blood came out of it.
She also discovered that Zhou Haojun was actually breathing, and breathing meant that the person was still alive. Although she didn't understand what condition Zhou Hao was in at the moment, it didn't matter at all. In fact, the most important thing was to call an ambulance as soon as possible.
Xiaolan was so anxious that she didn't care why Yuanzi was so sad. She pulled the still sad Yuanzi to her side, looked into her eyes and said seriously:
"Although I don't know what happened before, if you observe carefully, Zhou Haojun is still breathing! This means he is still alive. Ask your family to send a doctor over, quickly!"
A word of advice can wake a person up. Yuanzi, who had been in a daze, finally woke up after hearing these words and feeling the shaking. Then she didn't care about anything else and immediately took out her mobile phone to call home.
...Two days later, Zhou Hao woke up in a luxurious ward in a daze. He then looked around and found that there was no one. This seemed to be amiss.
Hey, why is there no one here? I just took a nap after arriving at the hospital. Miss, don't you even hire a nurse? This is really disrespectful to your husband!
Just when Zhou Hao was feeling depressed, he suddenly found that the system panel in his mind was jumping. Zhou Hao clicked on the panel in confusion and after seeing the contents clearly, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Suzuki Sonoko favorability rating: 98
Mao Lilan's favorability: 90
Now you know why Zhou Hao's eyes were so wide, right? You can't help it, after all, it's such a big surprise.
This, this shouldn't be right. Logically speaking, Xiaolan is the protagonist of this world and shouldn't be so easy to conquer. How come she wants to marry me just because I saved her life?
In fact, Zhou Hao's idea was completely wrong, and it was outrageous. The reason why Xiaolan's favorability was so high was all because of the intentional or unintentional good words from Sonoko, Kogoro and Ayumi.
Otherwise, it would be too presumptuous to expect Xiaolan to marry him just because Zhou Hao saved her life.
Then the question arises. It is understandable that Sonoko speaks well of Zhou Hao, but why do Kogoro and Ayumi also speak well of Zhou Hao?
In fact, the reason is very simple, because there is also the shadow of the eldest lady in it.
Xiaolan was very sad when she knew the whole story. She thought it was her compassion that harmed Zhou Hao. If she had not shouted Zhou Hao's name at that time, the gunman would definitely not have noticed Zhou Hao.
If I were fine, Zhou Haojun wouldn't have given my life to me.
At that time, Yuanzi had just come out of the emergency room. The doctor told her that although the big hole on Zhou Hao's head looked dangerous, it was actually useless, and no bullet was detected in Zhou Hao's brain.
As smart as the young lady was, she quickly realized that she was fooled by Zhou Hao. However, what made Yuanzi very angry was that she could not be angry with Zhou Hao at all. She was angry about why she liked such a big pig's hoof?
But she soon stopped thinking about these things because she saw Xiaolan crying outside.
The moment he saw Xiaolan, Sonoko's head suddenly moved and he thought of a very good idea.
So she avoided Xiaolan's sight and left her own hospital, then came to Dr. Agasa's house and finally found Ayumi playing with Tom.
There is no need to say more about what happened next. After the eldest lady found Ayumi, she appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her, mainly she said:
"Ayumi, you have to think it over. If Zhou Haojun fails in his pursuit of Xiaolan, he will take Tom with him when he leaves. You don't want Tom to go with Zhou Hao, do you?"
After hearing this, Ayumi patted her chest magically and said:
"What's the matter with Tom or not Tom? I just want to add more fuel to Brother Zhou Hao's love!"
The eldest lady smiled with satisfaction when she saw this, then took her to the hospital and left. The next target was naturally the Maori Detective Agency.
When she arrived at the office, Yuanzi didn't waste any time and told the uncle directly a series of events that happened today. At the end, she emphasized that it was Zhou Hao who pulled Xiaolan back from the hands of death.
Although the uncle who loves drinking is not very reliable at ordinary times, he is absolutely reliable when it comes to major issues. After hearing Yuanzi's narration, he quickly grasped a few key points.
So what is Zhou Hao like now and why did Yuanzi come to tell him all this, and what is Zhou Hao's purpose in the end?
As mentioned before, the eldest lady is a very smart person. When she saw the uncle's puzzled look, she knew what he wanted to ask. However, she did not explain, but revealed a sentence;
"Although Zhou Haojun has known Xiaolan for a short time, you should have guessed the way he looked at Xiaolan."
After hearing this, the doubt in Kogoro's eyes not only did not disappear, but became even more. He naturally knew that there was something wrong with the way Zhou Hao looked at his daughter, but he thought the boy was quite polite, and he also brought gifts when he came, so he didn't make a fuss about it.
But what does this have to do with Yuanzi? Or in other words, why did the other party come to tell him this?
Seeing the uncle's eyes, Yuanzi didn't explain much, but just said one sentence at the end:
"You should know that there is a sick elder in my family, and you should also know that Zhou Haojun can do magic.
What you don’t know is that Zhou Haojun has quite a few shares in our inheritance. You should be aware of the meaning of many of the Chinese words I said.”
There was no need to say too much in the conversation, and Sonoko believed that this seemingly unreliable uncle in front of her should know what she meant.
As expected, when Kogoro heard the last sentence, his eyes suddenly lit up. What did he hear? Zhou Hao, that young man, actually had shares in the Suzuki Group!
You have to know that it is the Suzuki Group, the leading large conglomerate in the country. Even if it is placed in the world, it can compete with other super powers.
Although he was also worried that his daughter would be wronged if she accepted Zhou Hao's pursuit, but if he thought about it carefully, Zhou Hao was willing to spend a huge price to save his daughter. Doesn't this incident alone reflect Zhou Hao's sincerity towards Xiaolan?
