The Rest of My Life

I immediately pricked up my ears.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun pressed the 'speaker' button.

Tao Zhizhou's voice didn't sound happy. The first sentence he said was, "The court is on bail."

I started, but then calmed down.

Zhou Xun had predicted this from the start, so I wasn't too surprised.

Looking at Zhou Xun, there was no change in his expression.

However, the situation was still rather grim, because the grand court didn't have Chinese nationality and would be sent back to China.

The Interpol would be sure to follow them, but the State of Taun didn't trust them very much.

When Tao Zhizhou mentioned being sent back to China, I was somewhat dismayed.

Is there nothing you can do about the court?

Letting him go meant releasing the tiger back into the mountain.

Who can guarantee that he won't continue to deal with me next time?

Perhaps sensing my emotions, Zhou held the phone in one hand and gently held me in the other.

I calmed myself.

Thankfully, Tao Zhizhou was quite powerful and had managed to pry open the mouth of the grand court. Although not much information had been revealed, it was extremely crucial.

Tao Zhizhou's tone also became high-spirited. "Guess what I'm asking!"

Zhou Xun and I looked at each other.

Tao Zhizhou excitedly said, "The court revealed the key figure behind Minister Zhou's assassination that year. I'll send you the information later. You'll know once you see it."

My eyes widened.

This was definitely a pleasant surprise.

When I saw Zhou Xun's eyes turn fierce, I guessed that he must be very happy as well.

However, Tao Zhizhou gloomily continued, "Other than that, there was no other information provided by the court. He firmly refused to acknowledge himself as the mercenary leader and stressed that he was a legitimate businessman …"

I could hear the plaintive tone in his voice over the phone.

It was no wonder that even after spending so much time and effort to grab the imperial court, the imperial court was still so unstable. This was truly infuriating.

Tao Zhizhou paused before continuing, "Third young master, don't blame me for not reminding you. That kid took the initiative to tell you about your father's matter. Even if it's true, what if there's a conspiracy … You have to take it easy. "

Zhou Xun thanked him.

After that, they didn't say anything more. Tao said that he had sent the item to his mailbox, giving him time to look around. If there were any questions, they would come to him anytime.

After hanging up, Zhou Xun's face darkened.

I knew he must be thinking about Papa Zhou, and I scratched the palm of his hand to comfort him.

He came back to his senses and interlocked ten fingers with mine. He said with a smile, "Let's go. We're going back to check the information sent by Captain Tao."

I agreed.

However, on the way back, I still found it difficult to calm down as I muttered, "It wasn't easy to grab hold of the grand court and let him run away so easily …"

Zhou Xun smiled as he caressed my face and said, "This was to be expected …" "It's alright, there's still a long way to go."

I sighed to myself, but there was nothing I could do.

I feel even more depressed when I think about how the task force has yet to make any headway and the fact that the court is still able to make a name for itself.

Zhou Xun smiled as he looked at me and said, "I've provided Team Tao with two strongholds organized by the Magnificent Court. It's enough for them to report back to the Interpol. It's enough to keep the Magistrate busy for a while." "I won't let him bother you."

I looked at him.

So he was still holding back!

I felt his power again, and it was a deep apprehension.

It looks like the court will be busy for the next few days, and I should be able to relax for a while.

Tao Zhizhou sent him a detailed statement. In truth, this was not something that could be done outside of the sect. However, Zhou Xun had helped him quite a bit, so in exchange, it was normal for him to provide these things.

The court revealed the identity of the mastermind behind the assassination of Zhou's father. That person was indeed a high-ranking official in China.

However, according to the court's statement, the other party was not the main culprit, but rather a contact person.

I was shocked.

The contact mentioned by the court was currently in a high position … If he had an emissary backing him, how powerful would he be?

However, thinking about it, the Zhou family was a top family in the capital. To be able to kill Zhou's father, they definitely weren't simple people.

If he thought about it carefully, that year, Papa Zhou's future was boundless. Perhaps it was out of jealousy, or perhaps it was because he felt that Papa Zhou was blocking his path, that he decided to make a move against Papa Zhou.

After clearing away the obstacle known as Zhou's father, the other side must have skyrocketed over the years …

Who knows which of the big shots up there.

Zhou Xun's face was gloomy and his fingers lightly rapped the table, looking somewhat anxious.

It was the first time I had ever seen him like this.

He threw the pen in his hand onto the table and slowly said, "This person … "He's my mother's cousin. I want to call him uncle."

I was stunned.

This... This also...

It was actually a relative of the Zhou family who was plotting against Zhou father?

So the death of Zhou's father that year was actually done by someone close to the Zhou family?

I was appalled by my own speculation. Despite the fact that there was plenty of heat in the room, I shuddered.

Zhou Tong's face was as dark as water, and his eyes narrowed.

When I saw the ruthlessness in his eyes, I couldn't help but hold his hand and said, "That … "Then you …"

He did not speak.

I didn't know how to start. I wanted to ask him what he planned on doing next, but looking at his expression, I couldn't bring myself to do so.

If the person being handed over to the court was really his cousin, then it would involve his grandfather and his family …

This was truly too cruel. The three brothers who were stuck in the middle, how unbearable would it be?

However, I don't think I've ever heard Zhou Xun mention his mother and grandfather.

I also wanted to ask him how his grandfather's family was doing, but after hesitating for a moment, I still didn't say anything.

Perhaps because he felt that I was shaken, Zhou Xun lowered his head to look at me and reassured me, "It doesn't matter. Although we still need to investigate further, this is already a progress."

I nodded.

It's just that what I'm worried about is not how the case is progressing, but... Can he accept the truth...

When he achieved that, he saw through my worries. With a mocking smile, he said, "Actually, I and second brother already knew that. It's just that we don't have any evidence."

I was aghast.

This meant that he already knew that there was a problem with his uncle or his grandfather's family?

So was that why he didn't want to see his grandfather's family?

I tried to remember. It seemed like I hadn't seen any of his friends at our wedding before, and I thought it was weird …

Zhou Xun patted my head and said, "The reason why I was close to the court was to find evidence from that year."

I suddenly understood.

Although the court was organized to assassinate Zhou's father, if the mastermind behind the plot were to be involved, then the court could only use them as witnesses.

I hesitated for a while before I couldn't help but ask softly, "Uncle Zhou, you've already determined that it's you …" Did your uncle do it? Does that have anything to do with your grandfather's family? "

Zhou Xun lowered his eyes and said, "Of course it's related to my grandfather's family … "So far, all the evidence has pointed to my grandfather's house …"

I couldn't help but squeeze his hand.

He frowned and said, "However, since the grand court took the initiative to push out my cousin, I feel that something is amiss. I still have to discuss this with my second brother."

After that, he started to video chat with Big Brother Zhou and the others. I thought for a while before leaving.

After half an hour, Zhou Xun called Zhou Ning in.

They stayed in the study while I accompanied Rui to the backyard to see the wolfhounds.

Perhaps because he was familiar with it, the wolfdog was willing to play with Rui Rui. Rui was especially happy.

Looking at his innocent smile, I started to worry. I felt that the Zhou family would be in a lot of turmoil in the future, and Rui Rui, as the great-grandson, would have to work harder.

Zhou Xun stayed in the study for eight hours before he came out in the evening.

I took a closer look at his face and saw that it had softened a little.

But before I could enjoy myself for long, just as we were about to have dinner, Sherman came.
