With a faint smile on his lips, Zhou Xun calmly said, "Cousin, please don't misunderstand. It's just that the scene inside is not too good to look at. It's not convenient for public officials like you to see it."

Shen Zixian coldly snorted, "You must remember to keep that woman alive. Don't forget, you have already promised to give her to Zhizhou."

Zhou Xun smiled as he nodded, "I won't forget."

Shen Zisheng stood up, walked up to him, walked around him, and said: "Then let's talk about when you're going to get out of here."

This was the fourth time he had indicated for Zhou Xun to leave, and his tone was not very good either.

I couldn't help but look at Zhou Xun.

In my mind, Zhou Xun was not someone who could be easily provoked.

With his personality, with how overbearing Shen Zixian was, he should have immediately turned around and left.

However, he only smiled and said, "You're not in a hurry yet. Captain Tao just had an operation and will probably be staying here for two days. I will stay behind to protect you all and return with you to the imperial capital."

Shen Zixian waved his hand in disdain, "No need, we don't need your protection, so we won't trouble you."

Zhou Xun smiled, but did not say a word.

But apparently, he did not do as Shen Zixian wished.

Shen Zisheng was extremely angry, "I don't want to see you, and I definitely don't want to see you again. How can you be so thick-skinned!"

Hearing that, I couldn't help but look towards Zhou Xun.

He won't be angry, will he?

I didn't expect that he was also looking at me with a gloomy gaze.

I bit the corner of my lips and slowly walked to Shen Zixian's side.

It was also a disguised expression of my attitude.

No matter how much he makes up for it now, I have already made up my mind that I will not go on with him.

Shen Zixian revealed a satisfied expression.

Zhou Xun's eyes turned increasingly dark.

He looked at me for a moment and then suddenly smiled at me.

Before I could understand what he meant, he had already turned to Shen Zixian and said: "I am worried about the safety of remembrance. Your police work is reliable, but it is better to have one more bit of strength."

Shen Zisheng's face was displeased, he was about to retort.

I couldn't help but lightly tug on Shen Zixian's sleeve, signalling for him to stop.

Mainly because I saw that Zhou Xun couldn't possibly compromise, he smiled at me, just to tell me that he had plenty of ways to deal with Shen Zixian.

Shen Zixian unhappily glanced at me and said, "Come with me."

With that, he walked upstairs.

Before leaving, he glared at Zhou Xun and said, "Do not follow me."

I was speechless.

The smile on Zhou Xun's face didn't waver as he said to me considerately, "You can go. Don't keep your cousin waiting."

Me: "…"

Looking left and right, I thought he was just watching the show.

But I didn't want to disappoint Shen Zixian, so I went upstairs.

I crossed Zhou Xun and walked up the stairs.

I don't know if it was my imagination, but I felt Zhou Xun's gaze following me.

I was embarrassed, but I didn't stop, didn't betray my nervousness, and walked steadily up the stairs.

When we reached the top floor, Shen Zixian pulled me into the room to the left and ordered me to be guarded at the door.

Was he guarding against Zhou Xun?

I shook my head in amusement.

He stared at me and said, "Are you softhearted again?"

I think it was because I advised him not to, and let him think that I wanted to make peace with Zhou Xun.

I hastily replied, "No."

Shen Zixian looked at me distrustfully.

I explained, "I just don't want to treat him as my enemy. After all, he is still the biological father of the child in my womb."

Hearing that, Shen Zixian was stunned.

I whispered, "I hope that you can understand, Cousin."

Shen Zixian looked at me for a moment, sighed and said, "It's a pity that he has a child, otherwise, it would be better if you and him died of old age."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Cousin, I know that you're trying to fight for my sake. However, you don't have to be hostile towards Uncle Zhou. He has actually treated me quite well." After pausing for a moment, I continued, "He just doesn't like me. This isn't a big mistake."

Shen Zisheng raised his eyebrows and said: "How is my sister not worthy of him?"

I cast a sidelong glance at him and said, "How is my Teng Qingshan not worthy of you?"

With that said, Shen Zi Shi immediately shut his mouth.

He carefully observed my face for a long time before stuttering, "I …" "That's what I said …"

I snorted.

He raised his hand and made a gesture of throwing himself at her, saying, "Enough, I won't target him." However, I must remind you that after two days, it will be New Year's Eve. After returning to [Di] city, you must follow me back to the Shen family.

I nodded. "Don't worry, I won't."

The fact that Zhou Xun went to see Ye Beibei and my mother's death, as well as the fact that I was planning to use this opportunity to go back to the Shen family to investigate the truth about my mother's kidnapping, all these three things combined made me make up my mind that I would not leave with Zhou Xun.

Shen Zisheng exhorted a few more times, seeing that my attitude was good, he agreed to anything, and finally stopped nagging at me.

Finally, he said, "You can stay upstairs. Don't come downstairs for the next two days."

I was stunned.

Is he trying to imprison me?

Shen Zixian seemed to have seen through my thoughts, he glared at me and said, "I'm just trying to prevent you from seeing Wednesday as much as possible, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."

Me: "…"

Actually, I am not the kind of person who is easily controlled. Although I love Zhou Xun miserably, but right now, there are many contradictions between us, so I cannot easily waver from them.

However, I thought that Zhou Xun would find a chance to persuade me, and since I did not want to talk to him about it for the time being, I agreed to Shen Zixian's request.

Shen Zixian showed a satisfied expression and went downstairs.

I didn't have much to do in my room, so I went to see Tao Zhizhou.

Tao Zhizhou was sitting at the head of his bed, reading a document.

Sunlight shone through the window, and it was as if his body was covered in a layer of white light. In the light and shadows, his posture was just too similar to Zhou Xun's.

It made me a little dazed.

Tao Zhizhou probably noticed me standing by the door, put down the documents in my hands, and said with a smile, "Speak, hurry and come in."

I came back to my senses and walked in. I smiled. "Tao Dui, are you looking at a file? My cousin told you not to worry, he's the one who gets everything. "

He was shot for me, and I don't want anything to happen to him.

Tao Zhizhou smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

I didn't know how to explain, so I said, "Then you shouldn't be too tired."

Right now, what he needed the most was rest.

Tao Zhizhou smiled and nodded. He paused for a moment before he said seriously, "Not long ago, I received an email containing some photos and videos. I believe you've seen them before. I want to ask for your opinion now."

I was stunned.

The video and photos he was talking about, could it be... The things that the court showed me?
