The Rest of My Life

Previously, when Zhou Xun said that Zhou Ning would be out very soon, I was still muttering to myself, thinking that he was trying to comfort me.

I'm very afraid that if the Gu family does anything bad to Zhou Ning.

I didn't expect Zhou Xun to be lying to me.

I carefully observed Zhou Ning for a moment. He didn't look any different from before. He didn't look like he had suffered a lot.

Zhou Ning smiled at me.

I hastily asked, "Are you alright?"

He shook his head and smiled. "It's fine. Thank you for Miss Nian's concern."

Seeing that his complexion wasn't bad and he didn't seem to be in trouble, he finally felt at ease.

Zhou Xun told Zhou Ning to have a good rest and explained in a low voice: "I will go to find the police station's leader for tea at noon. He told me that Shen Fang had already withdrawn his charges, and that Ah Ning was released after staying in the police station for only half an hour."

I was surprised.

I couldn't help but look at Zhou Xun.

What else could he not guess?

Zhou Xun smiled and continued, "Shen Fang called me a few times, but I didn't answer. I think he will find you here, so just ignore him."

I nodded. "He looked for me at noon. I didn't pick him up."

Zhou Xun smiled as he complimented him, "Well done. In the future, if he comes looking for you again, you don't have to bother with him."

I agreed.

When he was about to go upstairs to change, I followed him and asked, "Do you know how is the situation with Shen Zi Ruo?"

Zhou Xun looked at me and asked, "What? Are you concerned about her?"

I shook my head. "I'm afraid that she'll go find the police."

Zhou Xun said, "She's already awake and is indeed making a ruckus in order to report the case. However, she was stopped by Shen Fang."

I was silent for a moment. "Shen Fang only stopped Shen Zi Ruo because he got benefits from you. If you let him get nothing in the end, won't he take revenge on you?"

When we reached the door, Zhou Xun didn't answer me immediately. Instead, he opened the door and led me inside.

He took off his coat.

I took it and hung it on the hanger.

He undid his tie and cuffs again and suddenly looked at me. "Will you hate me if I do something to the Shen family?"

I couldn't help but be stunned.

He slowly walked in front of me and said, "The Shen family might be one of the people involved."

I stared at him for a moment.

He didn't hurry me, but just stared at me quietly, waiting for me to answer.

Only after a long while did I come back to my senses. I stammered with the corner of my mouth saying, "I …" "I don't know …"

Although I already knew that Shen Fang is related to the court, I never thought that he would be involved in the assassination of Zhou's father.

I said, "To be honest, Uncle Zhou, my emotions are very complicated … Although Shen Fang might not be related to me in blood, he is still the son my grandparents raised up to be. Legally speaking, he is also my biological uncle … "Of course, if he did something bad, I definitely wouldn't favor him …"

It was hard to tell.

All in all, I hope that Shen Fang had nothing to do with your father's death.

How else can I get along with Zhou Xun?

No matter what, Shen Fang is my uncle …

I'll feel guilty then.

Most importantly, the Shen family could very well be destroyed by Shen Fang.

This was the last thing I wanted to see. I believed that if my mother was alive, she wouldn't want to see that either.

Zhou Xun pinched my fingertips and said, "I understand."

I held him back.

He whispered: "The Shen family... "At that time, the Shen family will definitely be handed over to you …"

I looked at him in shock.

He said, "Could it be that you want Shen Fang to continue controlling the Shen family? When that happens, the Shen family will probably be removed from the aristocratic circle. "

I couldn't speak.

In reality, I really didn't covet the Shen family's possessions. But, his words made sense. I can't just sit by and watch the Shen family lose at the hands of Shen Fang.

Shen Fang's methods are unwise, and his source of wealth is also unorthodox. I keep having the feeling that sooner or later, the Shen family will be destroyed by Shen Fang.

Zhou Xun looked at me and said, "If you don't want to manage the company, I will hire a professional manager to help you."

After a long while, I whispered, "…" "Alright."

He didn't say anything more.

I took the tie from him and hung it up.

Quietly, he took off his shirt and changed into his home clothes.

After everything that happened last night, he took my hand and sat on the sofa. "That's right, I told Ah Ning to investigate the matter of my mother-in-law's disappearance. Although there weren't many clues, there was finally some clues."

I stopped and looked at him.

However, he suddenly became silent and revealed a hesitant expression.

I tensed up and grabbed his sleeve. "What's wrong?"

He looked at me for a moment and said warmly, "Let me give you a precautionary measure …" This matter might have something to do with Shen Fang … "

I instantly widened my eyes and blurted out, "You're saying that my mother's disappearance is related to Shen Fang?"

Zhou Xun nodded.

I was shocked.

Honestly speaking, even though Shen Fang's character isn't that great and he isn't related to me by blood, he is still the adopted son of the Shen family. He is brother and sister to my mother in name. Would he harm my mother?

I remember Shen Fang saying that my grandparents found out that my mother was sold to a foreign organization and was probably dead. That's why they gradually gave up on searching for my mother.

However, my mother was actually living in the city of flowers and wasn't sold abroad at all.

Perhaps … Back then, it was Shen Fang who intentionally lied to my grandparents?

But... At that time, Shen Fang was only fourteen. How could he have such scheming mind and ability?

It's a pity that my grandparents are no longer alive.

As I thought about it, I felt my head spin.

Zhou Xun caressed my face and said, "This is only a guess …" Ah Ning's side should have the results soon. Only then would they know what happened back then, and whether Shen Fang had done anything to let down his mother-in-law … "So don't think too much about it now. You have to wait for the results of the investigation before you know the truth."

I made a sound, but my mind was still in a mess.

But to keep him from worrying, I tried to keep my emotions under control.

After a moment of silence, I softly said, "That's right, Uncle Zhou. I forgot to tell you that Ah Ning and I went to the Shen family's pavilion this morning. We searched for a long time, but were unable to find any useful information …" Previously, I was wrong about the direction I was heading in — since Shen Fang agreed to let me live there, he must have already swept through all the traces and traces, so why would he let me find anything suspicious? That's why I moved out... "I'm going to find a branch member of the Shen family to understand the situation. As well as the servants of the Shen family, I want to look for them as well."

If Shen Zi was the only one making things difficult for me, I definitely wouldn't have moved out of the Shen family.

But since I couldn't find out the truth, I definitely wouldn't want to stay in the Shen family's environment.

Zhou Xun said, "Last time you told me what the branch members of the Shen family might know, I sent Ah Ning to look for them. And there's also the servant from back then, Ah Ning also found one. "

I started.

He had actually found the servant from back then?

Does that mean the truth about my mother's kidnapping will soon be revealed?

Zhou Xun shook his head and said: "Currently, the other party is unwilling to reveal anything. However, they should know something. I will get Ah Ning to think of a way to pry his mouth open."

No matter what, as long as he found the person, there would be hope.

I was too happy to know what to say.

Then I remembered that Zhou Xun had been asking Zhou Ning to help me investigate.

You know, I've been having an awkward time with him recently.

He was always like this, helping me in the dark...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but hug his waist and choke, "Uncle Zhou, you …" "You're really great …"

He smiled and caressed my face.

The corners of my mouth curled involuntarily.
