The Rest of My Life

Su Yan, Gong Shan, and me are all just small fries who can be easily crushed by others.

Whether it was the mercenaries or Zhou Xun, they were the ones in charge.

Leaning into Zhou Xun's arms, I felt lucky to have him as my backer. I also sighed. In the end, I still had to rely on him.

Over the next few days, Zhou Xun's side continued to investigate the matter. However, the news on the internet did not die down.

Zhou Xun seemed to be deliberately letting the rumors spread.

Fortunately, I'm not in the country, so it didn't affect me much.

However, I didn't quite understand his intentions. He had already found out the identity of the person behind Lu Zhi Ming. Could it be that he wanted to use this matter to lure the mercenary leader out?

Zhou Xun didn't tell me much. Every day, he and Zhou Ning went to the study room to discuss some matters, before getting back to work.

I didn't want to disturb him, so I didn't ask.

I went to the fair on Monday as usual, and everyone probably knew the rumors online. They all looked at me strangely.

I knew it, and I smiled as if I hadn't seen them look at each other.

Senior brother Wei waved at me and said, "Speak, come here quickly."

I hurried over.

Teacher Tang looked at me and said, "Don't think too much into it. We all believe in you."

Brother Wei patted my shoulder in agreement.

Although I wasn't surprised by the looks of others, I was naturally deeply moved by their trust in me.

I thanked them solemnly.

The Chinese delegation might be affected by Teacher Tang's attitude. Even though there were still some people who disliked me, they didn't dare to express their displeasure.

But at this time, a blonde girl with blue eyes said in English: "I heard that a suspect in your Chinese delegation killed his friend …" "Heavens, I'm so scared …"

I looked over and saw that there were several young foreigners standing next to her. There were both men and women, all of them looking frightened.

Were they here to cause trouble?

I narrowed my eyes and was about to speak.

Teacher Tang replied in fluent English, "The police haven't found any evidence to prove that she committed a crime. She's been in New York all this time, so how could she have the time to kill someone?" Her gaze slowly swept across the youths, and then landed on the foreign delegations that were watching the show, "No matter what, she is a genius in the medical field. Her previous speech has probably proved that she is much stronger than you! I can't help but wonder if you guys came looking for trouble out of jealousy. "

These words immediately caused those people to shut their mouths. Their expressions weren't too good, but in the end, they no longer bothered each other.

I was very grateful for Teacher Tang's support as I softly said, "Teacher …" "Actually, you don't have to stand up for me …"

She was, after all, an internationally renowned expert, and I was afraid that she would be affected badly.

But Teacher Tang shook his head and said, "You don't need to worry about it. This isn't a matter for you alone. It's a matter of our reputation in China." These people just don't like the fact that our country is growing so fast and they want to see us make a joke of ourselves... How can I let them succeed! "

After a moment's thought, I understood.

Indeed, although it is my personal matter, I am after all a member of the Chinese delegation. Even if these people were to see a joke, they would only use the entire delegation as a topic.

Furthermore, the previous report had given me the limelight. Those people had probably been holding their breath and were waiting for me to make trouble for them.

I felt ashamed.

Although it was not my subjective wish, I still had a bad influence on the delegation.

Teacher Tang comforted me, "It's not like you were the one who did this. You don't have to belittle yourself."

I quickly replied.

For the rest of the meeting, I was neither humble nor haughty. I couldn't embarrass the country.

Just like this, three days later, the domestic official investigation had a result.

The news was from Tao Zhizhou.

They said that they found out that Gong Shan was shot and the culprit was a foreign mercenary group.

When Zhou Xun told me, I immediately asked, "Is it Wolf?"

He nodded.

I asked, "Then has Team Tao managed to capture the person?"

Zhou Xun shook his head and said, "How could he be caught so easily …" I think they've already moved overseas. "

I couldn't help but feel sad.

A smile suddenly appeared on his face as he said, "But... This is good news for me. "

I looked at him, puzzled.

He said, "The more they are wrong, the more evidence they will leave behind, the better it will be for me."

I thought about it for a few seconds, then suddenly understood.

The mercenaries were from the same group as the ones who had tried to assassinate Zhou Quan's father. However, there was no evidence to prove their identity, and the employer behind them had not been exposed, so Zhou Xun could not make a move to avoid alerting the enemy.

Because of this, Zhou Xun had secretly sought out mercenaries to trade with them, and that was to get close to them.

If the police now had other evidence, then when the time came to arrest him, Zhou Xun might even take the opportunity to make a move.

It was indeed a good opportunity.

I gently held Zhou Xun's hand and said, "When the truth is revealed, I believe that I will eventually be able to avenge my uncle."

Zhou Xun replied, "Back then, the person who tried to assassinate my father was Wolf's father. However, I heard that he has already left and is now in charge of the mercenary group. This person is much more arrogant and vicious than his father. In just a few short years, he has committed many evil deeds.

He was probably just as cunning as Guki. He could always escape arrest.

I couldn't help but worry about the three Zhou brothers. Their opponent was an extremely vicious person. This was too dangerous …

Zhou Xun suddenly turned to me and said, "What it means is that now is not the time to alert the enemy." "Therefore, the matter that happened to Gong Shan might have to be suppressed."

I nodded, understanding.

Zhou Xun looked at me and said hesitantly, "But this way, the authorities can't help you clarify things. Although those rumors would certainly be dealt with, the public would not know the truth and would only feel that there was someone behind your back to suppress the matter. "In this way, everyone's spearhead will be aimed at you …"

No wonder he had a strange expression on his face. He was afraid that I would be displeased.

I smiled and said, "It's alright. I can be considered as having helped to attract a bit of attention from the police. I even felt quite honored."

As long as the police find out the truth and dispel my suspicions, I don't really care.

In any case, if I didn't go to school every day, I would stay at the Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Xun hugged me tightly and said, "Darling, I have wronged you."

I shook my head. "On the other hand, you and Big Brother should be careful."

Zhou Xun gently caressed my hair.

To tell the truth, I was more or less relieved, but at the same time lost in thought.

I still felt that those mercenaries had been targeting me from the start, and did not allow Gong Shan to frame me because of Zhou Xun.

Because when my mother died, Zhou Xun and I were still not familiar with each other, they probably did not expect Zhou Xun to use me as a shield.

However, at that time, they had contacted Gong Shan and because of her appearance, something happened to my mom …

And then I remembered that Zhou Xun had been tracking those mercenaries … Is it because he spied on the mercenary's movements that he deliberately approached me to protect me?

Or … Did he have a deeper motive?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sweat profusely.

I held onto Zhou Xun's arm and mumbled, "Uncle Zhou, I have a guess …"

Then, I told him that the mercenary might be targeting me. Of course, I didn't tell him what I thought of him … After all, there's no shadow. I don't want this to affect our relationship.

Maybe it was because I was nervous, but Zhou Xun smiled gently and held me in his arms, saying, "Wait until we catch him, then everything will be revealed." We can only wait and see if they get caught. "

I sighed. That was all I could do.

Zhou Xun kissed me, saying, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully you."

I rubbed his chest as I thought to myself, I really hope that he placed me by his side to protect me …

Sure enough, the news on the internet had been deleted overnight. Whether it was the headlines or the Weibo posts, as long as it was a piece of news about this matter, it had all been deleted.

It was rumored that Lu Zhi Ming had been captured by mercenaries, but then the police stepped in to rescue him.

Now he was facing a legal trial, and he estimated that he would soon have to go to jail.

This matter seemed to have come to an end, but it was within Zhou Xun's expectations. After the thread was deleted, there were immediately people attacking me.

At first, it was the university's website that had people following the wind and making shadows, creating rumors and creating trouble.

"It's good to have a backer, but it can also be reduced to something small." This was the hottest topic on the first page.

A lot of people were mocking me, saying that I was quite capable, that I was able to climb onto the bed of a powerful noble, and that such a huge matter was pushed down just like that. They were dissatisfied with the school's laissez-faire, dissatisfied with the official practice, and both attacked and cursed me.

Some radicals even put out banners in the school to get me out of the university.

There were also those who went to the principal's office to protest...

When I heard some of the information that Teng Qingshan had sent over, I was completely speechless.

Fortunately, I'm not in school right now, so I don't have to worry about that.

On the other hand, the attitude of the delegation was much better now.

I am a little strange, why did the few girls who used to dislike me all smile when they saw me?

Senior brother Wei had told me in secret because they felt that I was very powerful. To be able to make Zhou Xun stand up for me, they were only bullying the weak and fearing the strong, not daring to offend me again.

I was speechless. Things were not as complicated as they seemed.

However, since they didn't come looking for trouble with me, I felt it was quite easy, so I didn't specifically clarify what was going on.

Just like this, a few more days passed and an important day arrived.

It was Zhou Xun's birthday.

The day just happened to be Saturday, so there was no need to go to the tournament. I got up early to prepare.

Unfortunately, two uninvited guests arrived at the villa in the morning.

Aunt Zhou, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, said sharply, "Where is he? Tell him to come out and see me. "

Wan sat next to her and smiled meaningfully at me.
