Zhang Shouyi felt that the medicine was about to take effect and Zhou Yuanqing would soon wake up. How could he not give him a push?

"Wait, take him to the side hall. We have to ask him something, even if he can't explain it clearly, we have to have someone write down what he says."

Zhou Yuanqing suddenly snapped out of his daze, looking at the two men supporting him, then at everyone else in the hall. How did he get here? Wasn't he supposed to be retrieving the treasure?

"Let me go! How did I get here?"

Zhang Shouyi walked up to Zhou Yuanqing and said, "Young Master Zhou, you're sick. Don't you even remember how you got back?"

"Zhang Shouyi, how are you still alive?"

"Hehe, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Young Master Zhou, I'm still alive and well."

"You don't need to laugh now. How long can you keep laughing? Heh, you died at my hands in your past life, didn't you?"

"Secretary Li, let's take Young Master Zhou to the side hall. You can go back and call the leader over. I think Young Master Zhou has regained his senses. Young Master Zhou, do you know anyone here?"

"Hehe, I know them all. They all just disagree with me. None of them can escape."

Everyone was completely bewildered. Was Zhou Yuanqing truly insane, or was he experiencing intermittent madness? If you said he wasn't insane, some of his statements were far too audacious. If you said he was insane, what madman could speak so logically?

Another guard ran over and whispered a few words in Li Chang'en's ear.

"Boss, the big boss would like to invite you to come with us."

Li Chang'en and Li Guoliang were supporting Zhou Yuanqing, with Li Guoliang following behind, and Zhang Shouyi and Xiao Li at the very end.

Zhou Shixiong went back upstairs when Zhang Shouyi came out and is now waiting for them.

Zhou Yuanqing entered the room and exclaimed in surprise when he saw Zhou Shixiong, "Zhou Shixiong, how are you still alive? This isn't right! You were poisoned to death by me a long time ago, hehe, you didn't know, did you? Ever since that slut you brought back climbed into my bed, we've been working together to poison you every day. You still think you're so great that your family doctor is omnipotent? Actually, he's been in cahoots with me for a long time. If you hadn't refused to promote me and give me your position, I would still be able to keep you alive, hehe."

Zhang Shouyi gestured to Xiao Li not to come in, and then closed the door himself.

"Sir, should I call my doctor over to take a look?"

"Go on, come right away." Zhou Shixiong's smiling face was no longer like that of Maitreya Buddha; instead, it was ashen.

"Secretary Li, let everyone go back." Zhang Shouyi said this while actually looking at Zhou Shixiong.

"No need, Chang'en. Let the others continue. Just say I'm not feeling well and can't attend. Also, say Shouyi is with me, and you can take care of things down here."

"Yes," Li Chang'en went downstairs. He knew that his superior was protecting him, but he didn't know how Guoliang would arrange things. However, he didn't dare to show his worries.

Now only Zhou Yuanqing, Zhou Shixiong, Li Guoliang, and Zhang Shouyi remain in the room.

Zhou Shixiong waved his hand, and Li Guoliang glanced at Zhou Yuanqing with concern before turning and leaving.

"Zhou Yuanqing, tell me now. Why did you become like this?"

Zhou Yuanqing suddenly squatted down, clutching his head. "I don't know, Grandpa, I really don't know. It was the night I saw Zhang Hongmei in Q City that I suddenly had a dream, it was like my past life, and all the information matched up."

"So you can now predict the future direction of society?"

"No, it wasn't. The dream was also fragmented. It seemed like a three-year drought had occurred, but now there should be turmoil, but it hasn't happened."

Zhou Shixiong glanced at Zhang Shouyi. Now, seventy percent of the power he held was in Zhang Shouyi's hands, and any signs of it emerging were suppressed by Zhang Shouyi.

"Then tell me what will happen in the future. I want to hear the truth."

Zhou Yuanqing slumped to the ground, now fully conscious. He knew he was truly doomed. Two conflicting thoughts battled within him: telling the truth meant certain death, but not telling the truth meant certain death even when the doctor arrived.

Zhang Shouyi smiled, picked up the teapot on the coffee table, poured three cups of water, gave one to Zhou Shixiong, and then personally handed it to Zhou Yuanqing. Afterwards, he sat down again, picked up his teacup, and began to drink by himself.

On his own turf, Zhou Shixiong dared to drink the tea that Zhang Shouyi served him, downing it in one gulp before putting down the teacup and continuing to stare at Zhou Yuanqing.

Zhou Yuanqing, sitting on the ground, trembled as he drank the tea in one gulp and threw the teacup on the ground. He then buried his face in his knees, holding his head in his hands.

"Boss, let me say a few words to you."

Zhou Shao's talk of dreams is a joke to me. I think he's still not fully conscious, and his words are not very credible. If it weren't for his claim about poisoning you, I wouldn't have gotten involved.

"Zhang Shouyi, don't make sarcastic remarks here. You just want to see me make a fool of myself, right? No way. Let me tell you, even in my past life, I died after you. What's wrong with me giving barren land to foreigners? You want to come out and oppose me? I'll still kill you anyway."

Furthermore, why is everyone opposing me? I am supreme; this land was conquered by my Zhou family, and everyone must obey me unconditionally.

After Zhou Yuanqing finished speaking, he took a breath, but Zhou Shixiong, who was sitting at the head of the table, clutched his chest in pain.

Zhang Shouyi quickly approached, took a medicine bottle from Zhou Shixiong's pocket, poured out a few pills, and put them into Zhou Shixiong's mouth.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yuanqing was sitting on the ground, laughing heartily.

It took Zhou Shixiong a while to finally feel a little better.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Li entered with Zhang Shouyi's doctor.

Zhang Shouyi waved his hand, and Xiao Li left. "Dr. Sun, could you please take the Chairman's pulse?"

This man, also a learned scholar, disregarded formalities. He sat down next to Zhou Shixiong, took his wrist, and quietly took his pulse.

"The other hand." After taking the pulse, Sun Sicheng frowned. "Where's the leader's personal physician? This poison has been around for years, didn't they notice it before?"

"Dr. Sun, can you identify what kind of poison it is?"

"No, please find someone else." He then picked up his first-aid kit, opened the door, and went out.

The room was so quiet you could only hear breathing. After a long while, Zhou Shixiong finally let out a long sigh. "Zhou Yuanqing, I just want to ask you, what happened to our country in the end?"

"Hahaha, what else can we do? That's how it is. I give land to foreigners, and they bring us advanced technology. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

Zhou Shixiong's face was extremely pale. "Shouyi, take him away. I'm leaving him to you. I need to go back and rest." He tried to stand up, but failed twice. Zhang Shouyi personally escorted him back.
