Chapter 144: Things are confusing

Feng Yizhou parked the car steadily on the side of the road. He turned slightly and looked at Li Ruochu intently with a serious expression: "Chuchu, don't you think there is a suspicious person?"

When Li Ruochu heard this, her brows knitted tightly together, and several figures flashed through her mind quickly. After a moment, she asked tentatively: "Are you talking about Brother Yi Ze!"

In fact, when Feng Yizhou just spoke, she had already guessed something in her heart.

However, Yi Ze is her brother who grew up with her and they have a deep friendship. She doesn't want to believe from the bottom of her heart that Yi Ze would be someone who would do such a thing.

"The company has been having business dealings with him recently. I will set up a design team just for you!" Feng Yizhou looked at Li Ruchu firmly and said slowly.

He knew very well that only by allowing Li Ruochu and Yi Ze to spend more time together would he be able to discover the clues and uncover the truth hidden behind.

Li Ruochu remained silent, his heart in deep struggle.

She really didn't want to believe that her brother, who had always cared for her and grew up with her, would do something to stop her from finding out about her life experience.

However, faced with all the suspicious signs, she had to doubt, and this contradictory mood made her feel extremely tormented.

After returning to the office, Li Ruochu sat at his desk, hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up his phone and made a WeChat video call to Yi Ze.

At this time, Yi Ze was at a bustling event site abroad, surrounded by bright lights and bustling crowds.

When he saw Li Ruochu's WeChat video invitation, a hint of surprise flashed across his face. He hurried to a relatively quiet corner and answered the video call: "Xiao Li, what's wrong?"

"Feng Yizhou has set up a special design team for the two of us. When will you be done?" Li Ruochu tried hard to adjust his emotions and made his tone as normal as possible, just like a normal chat.

"I will be back in about a week. It's my honor to work with you!" Yi Ze had a sincere smile on his face and his eyes were shining with anticipation.

After participating in the design competition last time, he keenly noticed Feng Yizhou's special feelings for Li Ruchu.

He knew in his heart that Li Ruochu depended on him just like a brother.

However, he did not want to see the intimate interaction between Feng Yizhou and Li Ruchu, so after signing the contract with Feng Yizhou, he chose to leave.

Li Ruochu had a faint smile on his face, and seemed to be talking to Yi Ze in a relaxed manner.

Just when he was about to hang up the phone, Li Ruochu seemed to suddenly remember something and suddenly called out to Yi Ze: "Brother Yi Ze..."

Her voice trembled slightly, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

"What's wrong?" Yi Ze was slightly stunned and asked in confusion.

"Director Liang of the welfare home passed away a month ago!" Li Ruochu stared at Yi Ze's face on the mobile phone screen, trying to capture some information from his changing expression.

When Yi Ze heard the news, the smile on his face froze instantly, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

But it was only a moment, and he quickly returned to normal, saying calmly: "Everyone will die, she just went to a better place!"

After saying this, Yi Ze did not mention again that he had organized the funeral for Dean Liang, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

His deliberate evasive attitude made Li Ruochu more confused.

"When you come back, let's go to worship together!" Li Ruochu took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound natural, but his heart was in turmoil.

Yi Ze's expression, which froze in an instant and then quickly recovered, seemed to further confirm the vague guess in his heart.

She felt that Yi Ze seemed to be inextricably linked to the death of Dean Liang and the mystery of her own life experience.

"Okay!" Yi Ze responded briefly and hung up the phone.

The words "call ended" on the phone screen stung Li Ruochu's eyes. She slowly put the phone on the table, her eyes a little empty, her thoughts still immersed in the conversation she had just had with Yi Ze.

Feng Yizhou on the opposite side had been silently observing Li Ruchu's every move, taking in all her subtle emotional changes.

Seeing Li Ruochu's distraught look, a complex expression flashed across his eyes, showing heartache and a persistent search for the truth of the matter.

He frowned slightly and asked softly: "Chu Chu, how much do you know about this Yi Ze?"

Feng Yizhou had investigated Yi Ze before and found out that this man had been enjoying the help of the Yi family since he was adopted and his life was going smoothly.

However, since he went abroad, Yi's parents suddenly encountered a car accident and eventually died.

There are so many coincidences in this series that one cannot help but suspect that these may not be simple coincidences at all, but may be carefully planned by someone behind the scenes.

"Tell me, if I am really the daughter of the Long family, why did they send me here!"

Li Ruochu raised his head, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment, and his voice was choked with sobs.

Throwing her to such a faraway place, leaving her to grow up alone in an orphanage.

Those so-called relatives probably never considered how she would live from the beginning, which made her feel extremely wronged and heartbroken.

"Chu Chu, the affairs of the Long family are very complicated. Before they are confirmed, no news can be leaked!" Feng Yizhou stood up, walked to Li Ruochu, gently held her hand, giving her strength and comfort.

He was well aware of the Long family's status and influence in Country F, as well as the complex power relations behind it.

Once this matter is leaked, it may bring unexpected danger to Li Ruochu.

If the truth of the matter cannot be found out in China, then I will have to take Chuchu to Country F.

"Feng Yizhou, I have always had a question in my mind. Your grandma is abroad, why did your whole family return to China?"

"My grandma has always been concerned about the rights of country F, and my grandpa longs for freedom, so the two of them separated! However, I know that the two of them have always loved each other!"

Feng Yizhou's aunt has always stayed in Country F, so they have always been with their grandmother!

When he was young, he was with his grandmother, but for some reason, he was taken back by his grandfather.

After all these years, grandma still wanted him to pass away.

If it wasn't for saving Chu Chu, it might have taken him a long time to go there.

"This is the first time I've seen a family like this, but I really like your family atmosphere!"

Li Ruochu knew that Feng Yizhou must have grown up being loved!
