In her past life, Xia Shige was the real heiress who had been taken back by the wealthy Lu family. During the apocalypse, she worked hard and earnestly to take care of the entire family.
Unfo...
Xia Shige didn't continue reading the comments afterwards. Most netizens focused on the famous actress Xu Zhiqiu, and no one cared about anything else.
In fact, it is not just the "Zhong Ming Teahouse" incident. There are many similar police reports on investigating and punishing illegal venues. It can be seen that the police have really been working overtime to deal with these underground venues during this period, making the final effort to restore social order after the natural disaster.
However, because Xu Zhiqiu is a celebrity with a high profile, only the entry about her and Zhongming Teahouse became popular. Netizens were completely focused on Xu Zhiqiu's affairs, and only a few paid attention to other people in the announcement.
After realizing this, Xia Shige put down her phone tiredly. She knew in her heart that the Wu family had most likely escaped this time.
But thinking back to Wu Jiali's expression yesterday, Xia Shige always felt a lump in her heart. The police let the Wu family go, but she didn't want to let them go.
The problem is that apart from Wu Jiali and her cousin, Xia Shige doesn't know who else is behind Zhong Ming Tea House, nor does he know how to bring them together and catch them all in one fell swoop...
Just when Xia Shige was lost in thought, she didn't know that the people she was looking for were gathered in the Wu family villa just across the wall...
******
In the study room of the Wu family villa, Wu Jiali held a mobile phone in one hand, her fingertips sliding across the screen.
Looking at the heated discussions in the hot search comments section, she said nervously: "...Since the police report said that Xu Zhiqiu was the conspirator...then this matter is over..."
The brothers Wu Xiuren and Wu Bowei were also looking at their phones nearby. When they heard Wu Jiali's words, neither of them said a word.
Seeing that no one answered her, Wu Jiali raised her head and asked with a worried look on her face: "Why don't you say anything? Is this matter over?... What if the police contact me?..."
Wu Jiali and Xu Zhiqiu have been very close during this period. Now that Xu Zhiqiu has been arrested, Wu Jiali is very afraid that the police will find her!
Jiang Chengyue, who was sitting next to Wu Jiali, smiled when she heard this. She patted Wu Jiali on the back and comforted her softly, "Aunt, don't worry. All the evidence has been destroyed in advance. The police can't find us."
"Even if the police really summon you, just say that you only play cards with her and you don't know what she does. The police won't find any evidence and won't do anything to you!"
But Jiang Chengyue's words did not comfort Wu Jiali. Wu Jiali was still worried. The closure of Zhongming Tea House once again sounded the alarm for Wu Jiali. She suddenly realized that the power of their Wu family was indeed not as strong as before...
——If it was the Wu family in the past, even if they opened a "Zhong Ming Teahouse" in the busiest place in the city center, no one would dare to investigate! Why is it like this now, the whole family sitting here in fear?
Thinking of this, Wu Jiali suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness. She couldn't help but think, if only she could marry Zhou Hong, if she had the Zhou family behind her, she wouldn't have to worry about this...
Wu Jiali sighed softly, dispelling these messy thoughts from her mind. She tightly grasped the phone in her hand and murmured, "...then, what if Xu Zhiqiu betrays us all..."
The more Wu Jiali thought about it, the more anxious she felt - the incident at Zhong Ming Tea House could cost her her life! They arranged for Xu Zhiqiu to take the blame, would Xu Zhiqiu be willing to accept that?
Will Xu Zhiqiu give up everyone else in exchange for a chance to survive?
After hearing what Wu Jiali said, Wu Bowei on the side snorted coldly and replied: "Don't worry about this, she won't have a chance to speak!"
Wu Jiali raised her head abruptly when she heard this. She looked at Wu Bowei blankly and asked, "Cousin, what do you mean?"
——What do you mean I don’t have a chance to speak?
Wu Bowei looked at the message on his phone screen, smiled, and said in a deep voice: "I arranged for someone to tamper with her food, and now... she has gone to hell!"
When Wu Bowen coaxed Xu Zhiqiu to take the blame, he promised her that he would find a way to get her out.
It is definitely impossible to fish it out.
The incident at Zhong Ming Teahouse was a done deal. The higher-ups were going to hold someone accountable, and someone had to step forward to take the responsibility. Xu Zhiqiu was the only scapegoat.
Only when she dies can the rest of us feel at ease.
Jiang Yanhai's laboratory has some new types of poisons that have never been seen on the market. If they are mixed with food and eaten, they will take effect the next day. Even the police cannot find that the person has been poisoned, and can only find that the person died of a heart problem.
Seeing the message on his mobile phone screen that "Xu Zhiqiu's death has been confirmed", Wu Bowei felt relieved.
only……
Thinking of Xu Zhiqiu's gentleness and thoughtfulness in the past, Wu Bowei still sighed in a pretentious manner and said, "What a pity... In fact, I really like Zhiqiu..."
As soon as Wu Bowei finished speaking, there was a "click" sound and the study door was pushed open.
Everyone in the study heard the sound and looked towards the door, and found that the people who came were Wu Yu and Jiang Yanhai.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengyue stood up and said, "You guys talk about things, I'll take my aunt upstairs to rest."
After saying that, Jiang Chengyue stood up and helped Wu Jiali out of the study, closing the door with a "click". Only Wu Yu, Wu Xiuren, Wu Bowen and Jiang Yanhai were left in the study.
Jiang Yanhai ignored the others and sat on the sofa. He raised his eyebrows calmly and asked, "Have you dealt with the matter at Zhongming Teahouse?"
Wu Xiuren pinched his brows when he heard this, and replied in a deep voice: "Don't worry, with Xu Zhiqiu taking the blame, the police won't continue investigating... Everything in Zhongming Teahouse has been destroyed, and the test equipment in the basement has also been removed. They can't find anything!"
Wu Xiuren frowned and looked at Jiang Yanhai and Wu Yu, and said with a serious expression: "...but what's going on over there?!"
"I heard that Wu Peiyi and her team are researching a type of virus that was found on a dead person in the Yidu community... Old Jiang, what on earth are you doing? Could it be that the virus has been leaked?!"
