"Boss, the only thing I can do is lock Zhou Shao up for now, and then have a professional doctor accompany him while our people continue questioning him. I think the analogy of Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly is quite fitting for him. Maybe we can get the information we need out of him."

"Well, you handle it. Shouyi, what's going on between you and Zhang Hongmei?"

“That was my betrothed since childhood,” Zhang Shouyi said calmly.

"What a pity, I was hoping to arrange a marriage between her and the Zhou family." Zhou Shixiong lay on the bed, speaking weakly.

"Hehe, she can only be mine." Zhang Shouyi said and left.

Seeing Zhou Yuanqing convulsing on the ground, Zhang Shouyi finally smiled.

"Xiao Li, come in and escort Young Master Zhou downstairs. Have his driver come with him."

Zhang Shouyi's coming down drew everyone's attention, and the music stopped. "Everyone, please continue. The leader isn't feeling well, but let's not spoil the fun. Please make yourselves at home."

The music continued, and the staff served the dishes one after another.

Li Chang'en hurriedly followed behind Zhang Shouyi, saying, "Leader, I'm going to see the higher-ups now."

"Okay, go ahead." As he spoke, he was already beside Zhang Hongmei, who was sitting there quietly, holding a teacup and lost in thought.

He took the teacup from her and placed it on the table, then sat down next to her.

"After we finish eating, we'll head back. I'll stay at Xinyuan tonight, and I'll take you out to play tomorrow morning."

"Don't try to fool me, do you really have time?"

"Yes, the temperature is just right now, shall we go hiking?"

"Okay. Let's go early so we can see the sunrise."

All the dishes were served. Today it was a buffet, so none of the three of them touched their food. Chengzi and Wang Ying brought out the food for the three of them.

"Grandpa, the food tastes good today."

"You lost out, didn't you?"

"Yes, Grandpa, we're going hiking tomorrow, do you want to come?"

"I'm not going. I'm going out tomorrow to T City."

"Oh, what a pity." Actually, Zhang Hongmei didn't want to go mountain climbing with Zhang Shouyi, but since she had already promised him, she couldn't go back on her word now.

After finishing their meal, no one lingered, given the explosive news they had just heard. Zhang Shouyi disliked these kinds of gatherings and, of course, didn't try to persuade them to stay.

Xiao Li also rushed back and whispered a few words to Zhang Shouyi. Zhang Hongmei felt that Zhang Shouyi was radiating joy.

The two cars drove away from the compound. Zhang Shouyi picked up Zhang Hongmei, who was sitting next to him, and patted her back gently, like he was comforting a child.

"Are you so happy you've gone mad?"

"Hehe, we're a perfect match. Only you can sense my emotions."

"Let me go, I'm not going to go crazy with you." Zhang Hongmei never asked Zhang Shouyi why, she was just a little puzzled, was this how such a repressed person could express his excitement?

"Hongmei, would you like to go abroad earlier?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Hongmei was a little agitated. Although Zhang Shouyi said it as a question, it might be the truth.

“Let me tell you, I definitely have to go see Uncle Zhang during the summer vacation. I don’t mind if you go earlier, but the earliest is the end of August, no earlier than that.” There’s a reason why Zhang Hongmei is so determined to go to the border.

Zhang Hongmei had plenty of food in her own storage space, but her loved ones who had risked their lives on the border were starving. She thought it best to find a truck and transport the food there a few times.

Although Zhang Shouyi didn't know why Zhang Hongmei was so determined to go to the border, the fact that she was going to see her father warmed his heart.

"Okay, mid-September, is that enough time?"

"I have no problem, I just don't know about the others."

"Hehe, everyone can adapt, no need to worry about others."

"What about our paperwork?"

Zhang Shouyi patted Zhang Hongmei's head. "You're such a worrywart. Don't worry, someone will take care of it. You don't need to worry about your paperwork. Wang Xinyi will be with you. So, what about Wang Ying?"

"Grandpa said we could trust her, but he still went to investigate. I didn't really want to bring her along, but I did it to put Grandpa's mind at ease."

"Okay, leave it to me. I'll give you an answer in the next two or three days."

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to get involved?"

"Hehe, don't worry, there's still some trust between me and the old man. Don't worry, I have my own way."

Before they knew it, they were home. The three of them didn't linger and went to wash up.

Finally, Zhang Shouyi kept Zhang Hongmei playing two more games of chess before letting her go back to sleep.

The two men, one old and one young, were drinking tea. "Are you satisfied now?"

"Hehe, it's alright, but did you know that Zhou Shixiong wants to make a move on Hongmei and arrange a marriage between her and the Zhou family? Now, Zhou Jianwei is the only one left in the Zhou family."

"Hmph! He's got a good plan."

"So I plan to have them go abroad in September. I'm not afraid of him now; they'll just have to jump around a bit more in front of me."

"Just keep it in mind. Shouyi, do you think there really is such a thing as a past life?"

"Hehe." Zhang Shouyi just laughed and didn't say anything else. He couldn't lie to his own people.

"I'm going there tomorrow and I might stay for a few days."

“Okay, it’s fine. I’ve made arrangements. I’ll be living at home from now on. It’s finally out in the open now. And since I’m leaving soon, I need to let her spend more time with me.”

"Heh, you little rascal. Alright. Go get some rest."

The two men tacitly understood that Zhou Shixiong's time was running out, and it was a pity that such a powerful figure was about to be lost.

Zhang Shouyi went back and reviewed the documents until midnight. At 3:30, he went to call Zhang Hongmei. The girl said she wanted to watch the sunrise, so how could he not grant her wish?

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhang Hongmei groggily got up. Remembering that she was going to watch the sunrise today, she quickly found some warm clothes to put on. When she opened the door, she saw Zhang Shouyi leaning against the door. "Brother Zhang, I'm going to wash up. Wait for me a moment, I'll be right there."

"No rush, it's only 3:30, we'll be there in half an hour."

"Um."

Neither of them took any with them; they drove off on their own. Xiao Li was no longer as frightened as before. Since his master had his own ideas, he just needed to follow his instructions.

Remembering her master's instructions from last night, she glanced at the little maid beside her. She hoped Wang Ying was alright, otherwise, life would be worse than death.

"Wang Ying, come out with me at seven in the morning, we'll be back by noon."

"OK."

After finishing breakfast at six o'clock, they parted ways. Chengzi drove Gu Chuanming to T City, while Xiao Li and Wang Ying had to walk, but for the two of them, it was really no problem.

At 5:30, the two finally reached the top of the mountain. "Brother Zhang, are you trying to find a tourism industry?"

"Yes, you inspired me last time. By gradually making changes little by little, it can be developed in a few years."
