The Rest of My Life

Finally, I anxiously went to see Zhou Xun.

His expression was calm as he gently said to me, "Darling, don't be anxious. It's fine."

I was still very nervous.

Tao Zhizhou spoke up, "It's not enough for Wednesday. I'll have to trouble you to work with me."

It seemed that he had to bring Zhou Xun away.

I was suddenly anxious.

However, Zhou Xun expressed his willingness to cooperate with the investigation.

I couldn't help but grab his hand, as if I could hold him and keep him.

He squeezed my fingertips gently, soothing me silently.

I was depressed.

Leaving the study, he saw Grandpa Zhou waiting in the living room. He should have received the news by now.

Tao Zhizhou respectfully greeted Grandpa Zhou.

Grandpa Zhou did not make things difficult for him. Instead, he looked at Zhou Xun and asked, "Have you decided?"

Zhou Xun nodded.

Thus, Grandpa Zhou stepped aside to make way for him.

I felt that the conversation between the grandfather and grandson was a bit weird. Were they secretly communicating with each other?

In my thoughts, Zhou Xun suddenly turned to me and said gently, "Remember to eat. I asked Aunt Ning to cook your bird's nest. You have to eat it obediently, okay?"

I didn't expect that at such a time, he would still remind me to eat.

I nodded, choking.

He walked up to me and kissed my face. "No matter what happens, don't panic. Grandpa is at home. Nothing will happen. Do you remember now?"

I always had the feeling that he was confessing something.

Did this mean that he might encounter some danger on this trip?

I was upset, but I didn't want to worry him, so I agreed.

Zhou Xun stretched out his hand and slowly caressed my face. "If you hear any rumors, don't take it to heart, okay?"

His words made me even more confused, but I couldn't bear to ask anymore, so I nodded in response.

Zhou Xun gave me a deep look before turning around and walking out.

Tao Zhizhou said goodbye to me and Grandpa Zhou and left with his men.

Just as they reached the door, Rui Rui suddenly rushed over and hugged Zhou Xun's leg.

He raised his little head and curiously asked, "Little uncle, where are you going this late at night?" He said in a childish voice, "Are you going out to play? Rui Rui also wants to go ~ "

Zhou Xun squatted down, gently stroking his head, and said: "Little uncle is going out for a few days, you stay at home and take good care of grandpa and little aunt, do you understand?"

Rui was slightly disappointed, but he recovered quickly and nodded seriously: "I will take good care of grandpa and aunt. Little uncle, you have to come back early ~"

Zhou Xun kissed his forehead.

I looked at the scene in front of me and felt a pang in my nose.

In the end, Zhou Xun had left.

I heard the car pull out of the gate, and tears came to my eyes.

Rui ran over and hugged my leg, saying in a low voice, "Little aunt, you can't bear to part with your little uncle either ~"

When I heard his question, I cried harder.

Maybe it was because I was pregnant that I became especially sensitive.

Grandpa Zhou looked at me and comforted me, "It will be fine. Don't worry."

I quickly wiped away my tears and replied with a choked voice.

But I was still worried, mainly because it had happened so suddenly, and because Zhou Xun's last words had made me uneasy.

I calmed my emotions and softly asked Grandpa Zhou, "About this matter …" Is it related to the mastermind? "

Grandpa Zhou did not deny it, "The other party must have come prepared, but it's not like we were unprepared. Don't worry, Ah Xun knows what to do. "

He probably had a lot of things he hadn't told me, so I didn't ask too much about it.

He could only hope that Zhou Xun would be safe and sound.

He had originally thought that he would only need to go to the police station to take a statement.

It was only then that I realized that things were much more serious than I had expected.

It made me uneasy.

The next day at breakfast, Grandpa Zhou might have noticed that I was not in good spirits and asked if I wanted to take a day off.

I thought about it and decided to go to school.

Grandpa Zhou comforted me, "Ah Xun's situation is very good. You don't have to worry."

I nodded, relieved.

But on the way to school, Zhou Ning sat in the passenger seat and looked at me in the rearview mirror several times, wanting to say something but then hesitating.

I felt that it was strange and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

He hesitated and said, "There are some bad rumors online..." "If you hear anything unpleasant when you go to school, it's best to ignore it …"

I was so surprised that I didn't have time to ask what was going on and quickly took out my cell phone.

The internet was filled with news of Wednesday's lack of use of power to force people to their deaths.

I was shocked.

This... Why would there be such rumors?

I silently turned off the screen and asked, "When did it start to spread?"

Zhou Ning said, "It has been around since Third Young Master was taken away."

I frowned. In other words, the Zhou family was aware of this news from the very beginning.

And this news should have a negative impact on the Zhou family's image. Why didn't the Zhou family deal with it?

Hearing this, Zhou Ning explained: "It was Old Master's idea."

The more I thought about it, the more curious I became.

Grandpa Zhou valued the Zhou family's reputation the most. Back then, when Aunt Zhou had joined forces with the media to cause trouble, he had directly chased Aunt Zhou out of the Zhou family.

Now that it was related to Zhou Xun's reputation, why didn't Grandpa Zhou stop him?

Unfortunately, Zhou Ning also didn't know Zhou Quan's purpose, so I could only suppress my doubts and wait until we get home before asking Zhou Quan.

When they arrived at the school, the two senior sisters immediately surrounded him in excitement. One of them directly asked, "I heard you didn't kill too many people on Wednesday. Is that true?"

The other one said sarcastically, "I didn't expect that Uncle Wednesday would be so cruel and cruel to the bone."

Because I was worried about Zhou Xun, I didn't get a good night's sleep, and my mood was very low. Now that I heard them belittling Zhou Xun, I immediately said with a cold expression, "You guys better take good care of your research. It's no wonder you don't have any results."

With that, he entered the laboratory, not caring about their expressions.

Fortunately, the others in the lab were all very well, and showed that they wanted to believe Zhou Xun. Lu Shan and Lu Si even comforted me for a while.

My heart was in torment as I waited for Zhou Xun's news.

At noon, I finally couldn't help but ask Zhou Ning, "Is Uncle Zhou still in the police station?"

Zhou Ning's face did not look too good, and he nodded.

It had been almost twenty-four hours, why was he still in the police station?

Logically speaking, if it was just to help with the investigation, he should have been released soon enough.

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. But thinking about how calm Grandpa Zhou was this morning, I comforted myself. Maybe the Zhou family had already made arrangements.

However, the news on the internet was getting more and more intense. Many people were asking about my situation, and even Qingyao was calling me to ask what was going on.

During this period of time, many things have happened. I only met with her once on the tenth day of the new year.

I rarely told her about what had happened to me, not even on WeChat, mainly because I was afraid she would worry.

But this time it was Zhou Xun who was in trouble. I had been suppressing myself since last night, and now that she asked me about it, I couldn't help but cry as I told her about my worries.

Her voice was gentle as she comforted me softly, "It will definitely be fine." "I'll see you at noon tomorrow."

I choked and agreed.

After hanging up, I drove the car back to the old house. I had intended to talk to Grandpa Zhou directly.

They realized that Ye Nantian and the others were coming.

Grandpa Zhou was in the living room talking to them, and they all looked very serious.

I was surprised.

They should have known that Zhou Xun wasn't here, so why would they be here?

Seeing me enter, Grandpa Zhou stood up and said, "Nian Xi, please entertain me properly. I'll go look for Rui Rui first."

I nodded.

But in fact, I'm not very familiar with these kids. It's just that Grandpa Zhou has a problem, and Zhou Xun is not around, so I naturally have to take on the responsibility of being the host.

Ye Nantian looked at me and spoke first, "We are here for Ah Xun."

I tensed up and asked, "Do you know about Uncle Zhou's situation?"

Ye Nantian looked serious and said, "It has something to do with Ah Xun..." "I just received news that the higher-ups are saying that they will hit us hard this time. They don't even intend to give face to Grandpa Zhou."

Not long after Grandpa Zhou left that position, there were still a lot of people who bought his face.

This time, the higher ups directly issued an order, not caring about Grandpa Zhou's feelings at all. Could it be … Was he targeting the Zhou family?

Ye Nantian said, "It is because of this that we are worried. We came this time to ask Grandpa Zhou what we should do." He paused for a moment, then said with some doubt, "But Grandpa Zhou did not give us a clear answer, he only told us to wait a little longer."

I also didn't understand Grandpa Zhou's thoughts.

He did not care about the rumors on the internet, nor about the orders from above … What was he trying to do?

Ye Nantian said, "No matter what, we will go with the Zhou family."

The others all nodded.

These small clans were part of the Zhou Family. For this reason, Zhou Xun had grown up with them.

Now that something had happened to Zhou Xun, only they could stand up.

Although it was related to the clan's interests, they were indeed worried about Zhou Xun.

I was quite touched. Zhou Xun having so many brothers was truly a blessing in disguise.

Ye Nantian looked down at his watch and said, "We need to go back home and discuss what to do. We won't disturb you."

With that, he left.

I got up to see them off.

When we got to the yard, Ye Nantian comforted me, "Don't worry, the Zhou family won't fall that easily. Besides, there are still so many of us."

I responded gratefully.

Even Jiang JingChen, who usually didn't like me, said with a straight face, "Ah Xun will definitely be fine. Don't make such a sad face, it's really bad luck."

Even though it was still sarcastic, I knew that he was trying to console me.

Thus, I smiled at him and said, "Thank you."

A flash of awkwardness passed through his eyes as he turned around and got into the car.

After watching them leave, I turned around and went back into the house. I decided to talk to Grandpa Zhou.
