Sophie in the Time of Secrets Chapter 41

Outside the high wall of Yong Mansion, Caleb Zhou was lying on the ground with his teeth bared, his face covered with dust. He had no injuries on his body, he was just frightened. He sat on the ground, stunned by the fall. It took him a long time to wipe his face and hands with a handkerchief, and then he stood up and shook off the dust on his body. When many footsteps sounded and surrounded him, Caleb Zhou was the suave Zhou Sheng again.

Adjutant Xiao Chen was obviously surprised to see him, his face changed, and then he smiled politely: "Mr. Zhou, why are you here?" Caleb Zhou said awkwardly: "I... I came to see the major general for something, please inform Adjutant Chen." He couldn't say that he was flustered, so he came. But Xiao Chen's eyes were even more strange, but he said politely: "Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment, I will go in and report to the major general first."

Caleb Zhou didn't expect that he couldn't even get in the door, and he was extremely embarrassed. It was clear that Adjutant Chen knew about the entanglement between him and Ethan Yong, but from his current attitude, it was easy to imagine what kind of person he was in Adjutant Chen's eyes. The burning shame made Caleb Zhou stand uneasy. He drooped his eyelids, put his hands in his pockets and clenched his fists tightly, not wanting to lose his composure.

It was he who misunderstood Adjutant Chen. It was just that the timing of Mr. Zhou's arrival was too coincidental, which made people inevitably have conspiracy theories. This young master Zhou had just come a few days ago, and Ethan Yong's itinerary was leaked, and he also encountered such a thrilling assassination. Just after the incident, young master Zhou appeared outside the mansion again, sneaking over the wall to enter the mansion. It was impossible not to think too much, and the adjutant was extremely worried.

He went to the major general and reported quietly, but the major general didn't show much expression on his face. Adjutant Chen hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his concerns. Although he was a bit disrespectful, he was really worried that the major general's attitude towards Master Zhou was too indulgent. How could the major general not doubt something that he could think of, or rather, he was unwilling to doubt it.
