"Uncle Zhou, there was a murder downstairs last night, and Xiu Mei heard some noise. Thinking someone had broken into the house, she called me. Worried about her safety, I ran here and kicked the door down, thankfully there was no real danger in the end..."
Fang Cheng explained the situation succinctly.
Zhou Yongnian furrowed his brows upon hearing this, then let out a sigh of relief:
"It's good that you two are okay. I came back home specifically for this case today."
Saying this, he changed his shoes and took off the rain-soaked coat.
Zhou Xiumei quickly stepped forward to receive the coat, hanging it on a nearby rack, then saying:
"Dad, haven't you eaten yet? I just made breakfast and also cooked some soup. Have some with Brother Cheng."
Her cheeks were still flushed, but her expression had calmed down considerably.
Zhou Yongnian nodded, sat at the table, and took the bowl of beef soup his daughter had prepared, then started to eat.
