The Rest of My Life

This news caught everyone off guard.

I was flabbergasted, almost unable to believe it.

The main reason was because Gu Qiong was so arrogant, so domineering, and so powerful. Not long ago, when she was taken away from the airport, she threatened me.

But now that I suddenly heard the news of her death, I was really stunned.

Zhou Xun asked, "Was it suicide or killing him?"

It was Zhou Ning who answered the phone. He shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet."

Zhou Xun's face turned grim.

I was nervous too, and at the same time I felt a sense of loss.

It was hard to digest knowing two shocking things in a day.

Zhou Xun kissed me on the cheek and said, "Darling, I'm going to the police station. Let Ah Ning send you back, okay?"

I wanted to be with him, especially when I learned the truth about my mother's kidnapping. I wanted comfort from him.

But after such a huge incident, I couldn't just cling onto him and not let him go. I nodded my head obediently and said, "Okay, you can go. I'll be fine."

Zhou held my face in his hands and looked down at me.

I smiled at him.

His long fingertips brushed my cheek, fell into the corners of my eyes, and curled his lips at me.

Then he raised his head and said to Zhou Ning who was in the driver's seat, "Continue to send people to keep an eye on him, then contact Team Tao and ask him about his condition."

I looked at him in astonishment. "Uncle Zhou, you …" You're not going to the police station? "

Zhou Xun nodded and kissed the corner of my eyes, saying, "Darling, I want to accompany you too."

My chest involuntarily became sore and my eyes gradually became moist. I was so moved that I didn't know what to do.

But I didn't want to drag him back, so after a moment of hesitation, I persuaded him to go to the police station first.

However, he smiled and said, "Since it has already happened, there's no point in being anxious. Moreover, the police department has not come to a conclusion yet, so it's not good for us to act too anxious."

I held him by the waist and said nothing more.

However, I still felt a little worried in my heart, as though a heavy storm was pressing down on me.

I don't know why, but I feel like everything is getting entangled in a fog, getting more and more complicated.

If it was as Zhou Xun had predicted, then 40 years ago, the power behind this was already in play. That would truly be terrifying.

As for Gu Qiong's death, it might have something to do with the power behind it. It was just that they didn't know if it was a plot against the Zhou family …

When I got home, I was still restless.

In contrast, Zhou Xun was extremely calm.

He must have seen my mood, so he picked me up and carried me back to my room.

I gripped his sleeve.

He simply lifted me up onto his lap and said, "I've already told Ah Ning to go to Vancouver to investigate that Shen family branch. There should be clues soon. Don't be anxious."

"Yes," I said softly.

He pinched my face and gently said, "Darling, don't think about it anymore."

I was afraid that he would be worried, so I went along with his plan and changed the topic. "Right, I just saw Little An, but I didn't see Qin Xueman. Isn't she protecting you?"

Zhou Xun shot a glance at me and said with a smirk, "Darling, why are you so concerned about her? Are you jealous?"

I knew he was teasing me, and I was.

"Mm …" "I'm just curious …" I rubbed his face and said coquettishly.

He chuckled softly. "Qin Xueman has other missions."

Normally, he would tell me about his plan. Unless it was very secretive or dangerous, he would choose to hide it.

This time, he did not continue. It seemed that Qin Xueman's task was very special.

I didn't ask.

Zhou Xun suddenly pressed me down on the bed and said hoarsely, "Darling, let's do something else. If not, you'll keep thinking about things."

He unbuttoned his shirt as he spoke.

Me: "…"

It was currently broad daylight, and he was already thinking of doing such a thing …

But looking at his handsome features and his bewitching smile, I really couldn't resist.

I reached out and wrapped my arms around his neck.

And then I didn't know anything, I was completely immersed in his gentleness.

When I woke up it was dark outside.

It was only then that I realized that we had been hanging out from noon until the evening.

Zhou Xun was hugging me from behind, his chest against my back, and I could feel his tight muscles and the heat of his body.

I felt shy, but also relieved.

He bit my earlobe and said hoarsely, "Darling, you're hungry, right? Let's go down and have something to eat. "

Listening to his deep, rich voice, his hot breath blowing in my ear, I felt my whole heart throb.

I couldn't help but nod.

He gave a low laugh, got up, dressed me in my robe, and carried me downstairs.

Originally, there were still Grandpa Zhou and the others at home. Normally, I wouldn't let them hug me. But today, I was too tired, so I didn't refuse.

As soon as they got downstairs, the police came knocking.

At this time, it was already 8 PM. Zhou Xun and I were both very surprised.

What surprised us even more was that Tao Zhizhou was the one who came this time.

Tao Zhizhou stepped forward and went straight to the point. "I came for GuQiong's matter."

Zhou Xun and I looked at each other.

Zhou Xun said, "Let's talk in the study room."

Grandpa Zhou and Rui Rui were both at home, so he probably didn't want to alarm Grandpa Zhou.

Tao Zhizhou nodded and led his men to the study room.

The moment he entered the door, he said, "It's still not clear whether Gu Qiong committed suicide or murder. The current situation is that the Gu family accused people of torturing Gu Qiong less on Wednesday. They suspect Gu Qiong of being unable to withstand the pressure and chose to commit suicide."

I opened my eyes wide and thought it was ridiculous.

What kind of person was GuQiong? How could she commit suicide over a little setback?

Moreover, Zhou Xun didn't instruct anyone to hit Gu Qiong. How could the Gu family be like that?

In less than half a day, the Gu family had already targeted Zhou Xun.

It seemed like this matter was truly related to Zhou Xun.

I whispered to Zhou Xun, "Haven't all of the Gu family members been captured?"

Zhou Xun explained, "GuQiong's mother was released not long ago because of insufficient evidence."

How could things be so coincidental?

I frowned and turned to Tao Zhizhou, "Team Tao, do the Gu family have any evidence?"

Was there any evidence that Zhou Xun had anything to do with GuQiong's death?

Tao Zhizhou shook his head. "Not at the moment."

I stared at him.

Without any evidence, why would he come looking for Zhou Xun?

Tao Zhizhou hurriedly said, "No matter what, I have to trouble you to come with us less on Wednesday and cooperate with our investigation."

I felt that his attitude was a little strange, as if he was specifically targeting Zhou Xun.

If it was someone else, I might have even suspected that I was bribed by the Gu family.

But Tao Zhizhou shouldn't be possible... The Tao family was also an aristocratic family, it wasn't that easy to bribe, unless the Tao family had some relationship with the Gu family.

But when I think about the last time I caught Gucci in New York, I don't think the Gucci family seemed to be on good terms with the Gucci family.

Furthermore, Tao Zhizhou is a man of integrity and should not be bribed.

I suppressed the doubts in my heart. Looking at Tao Zhizhou, I said, "If Team Tao wants to bring the person away, he'll have to bring out the evidence, right?"

Tao Zhizhou sighed and said, "I'm just helping with the investigation."

Zhou Xun gently held my hand, motioning me to calm down.

But how can I not be anxious, who knows what the Gu family is up to …

Tao Zhizhou paused for a moment before revealing a piece of information to us. "This is a notice from the authorities asking me to take Wednesday back to the police station. I don't know the exact reason why."

I was aghast.

Above... Who is it?

Was he a match for the Zhou family? Was it the real mastermind behind the assassination?

Had the other party planned to make a move against the Zhou family, to first use Zhou Xun?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through my mind.
