In order to give Zhou Zehao a taste of his own medicine, Xu Yanshu decided to move back to the Zhou family home ahead of schedule so as to properly annoy Zhou Zehao.

When he received the call, Zhou Shengyu's smile was so bright that he couldn't contain it, and he immediately arranged everything as quickly as possible.

After personally overseeing the servants to arrange everything, Zhou Shengyu turned around and sat down on the sofa in the living room. He nodded heavily and said, "Now, our family is truly reunited."

Seeing his father's happy face, Xu Yanshu felt inexplicably guilty, after all, he had made this decision with a desire for revenge.

Zhou Zehao sat lazily in front of the soft couch, made a noncommittal gesture with his lips, and then spoke in agreement.

"That's good. I believe Mom will never have insomnia again from now on."

Before finding Xu Yanshu, the old lady Shen Wei was always complaining of feeling unwell and suffering from insomnia every now and then.

But after finding out about his biological son, all those flaws disappeared at once, which was strangely funny.

Sensing the deep malice in those words, Xu Yanshu raised an eyebrow noncommittally and said in a low voice, "If you did fewer wicked things, Mom's sleep quality would definitely be better."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became somewhat subtle.

What happened that I don't know about?

Zhou Shengyu couldn't help but look at Xu Yanshu sitting to his right with surprise; such a sharpness didn't seem like him.

"Brother, you're really joking. I just go between the company and home all day. What heinous thing could I possibly do?"

"If you have faults, correct them; if you don't, strive to improve," Xu Yanshu nodded with a forced smile, his tone intriguing. "After all, nothing stays hidden forever, so we must be even more careful with our words and actions to avoid lifelong regrets, don't you think?"

Is this a threat to myself?

Sensing the unspoken meaning, Zhou Zehao's playful smile immediately faded. He looked up at Xu Yanshu with a probing gaze, wondering if this person already knew something.

So, is his move back a formal declaration of war against me? Realizing this possibility belatedly, a strange light flashed in Zhou Zehao's eyes.

Zhou Shengyu wanted to say something, but he didn't know what had happened. He was also worried that if he interfered too much, it would create more rifts between the two brothers.

"You're both adults, you can talk things out face to face."

"Anyway, my bottom line is that there will absolutely be no brothers fighting among ourselves in the Zhou family." After saying this, Zhou Shengyu got up and left the manor.

The two brothers were left alone in the large living room. Their eyes met in mid-air, and the air gradually became tense.

Xu Yanshu narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, then asked directly, "You instructed Mu Yichen, didn't you?"

So that's what it was all about!

Zhou Zehao secretly scoffed at this, thinking that a person whose mind was full of love and romance was destined to never amount to anything.

"Brother, what exactly are you trying to say? I don't understand a word you're saying!" Zhou Zehao shrugged noncommittally, then casually said, "These days, everything requires evidence."

"You'd better not say anything until you have enough evidence to put me in jail!"

That's him!

Xu Yanshu's gaze suddenly turned cold. He stared intently at Zhou Zehao sitting in front of him, the veins on his forehead bulging one after another, while unconsciously clenching his hand hidden in the shadows.

He should have known long ago that this bastard was never going to behave himself.

He orchestrated Shengyi's kidnapping, and he may also have been involved in other events as well.

I couldn't help it anymore.

Zhou Zehao curled his lips with interest, secretly mocking the man's ability to disguise himself as nothing special.

He stood up slowly and walked over in a few quick steps. "Brother, this is home. You should pay more attention to your image!"

Such sarcasm made Xu Yanshu unable to suppress his anger any longer. He jumped up from his seat, his cold eyes looking as if he wanted to devour someone alive.

He was about to raise his fist when Shen Wei's voice interrupted first.

"Yan Shu, Xiao Hao, I have to go out for a bit, dinner..." Halfway through her sentence, Shen Wei noticed Xu Yan Shu's raised hand and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What are you brothers doing here?"

"It's nothing, Xiao Hao's coat is a bit wrinkled, I'll straighten it for him!" Xu Yanshu said, patting Zhou Zehao on the shoulder.

There are some things that don't need to be deliberately kept from Zhou Shengyu, but Shen Wei is different. Unless absolutely necessary, he doesn't want her to know about the many conflicts between him and Zhou Zehao.

"Thank you, big brother!" Zhou Zehao glanced at Xu Yanshu with feigned gratitude, but deep malice lurked in his eyes before slowly turning to look at Shen Wei.

"Mom, didn't you just say you had something very important to do? Then let's not waste any more time!"

Shen Wei then remembered her promise to someone, and hurriedly turned around. Just as she was about to take a step, she turned back again, worried.

“You two brothers are doing well. If anything happens, just give me a call.”

"I understand!" The two nodded in unison.

Only after Shen Wei's figure completely disappeared from sight did Zhou Zehao turn his head to look at Xu Yanshu again, raising an eyebrow dismissively before speaking.

"You see, Mom also hopes that we can get along well, so we must not easily quarrel, lest our elderly mother's health cannot withstand it."

Since he's determined to cultivate a persona of a devoted son, then of course I should give him a good helping hand.

So this beast is using Shen Wei to threaten him?

Xu Yanshu stared in astonishment, but the other party was also the mother he had called for over twenty years. How could he be so heartless and insane?

"I know you don't want to see me, so I'll go out too. We can always meet again another day!"

Zhou Zehao spoke again to himself, giving Xu Yanshu a meaningful look before turning and walking out.

An extreme chill spread from the soles of his feet to every corner of his body. Xu Yanshu's eyes were filled with deep fear. Only now did he realize that Zhou Zehao was far more perverted than he had imagined.

But now that things have come to this point, we can only deal with whatever comes our way.

It wasn't until the familiar ringtone of her phone that Xu Yanshu snapped out of her reverie. She took a deep breath before answering the call.

"Yan Shu, something terrible has happened!"
