He looked at Huang Zheyue as if he were looking at his former self.
“I don’t think I’ve told you yet why we know about your father’s death,” Zhou Mingli said calmly. “He was hunted down and killed because of an imperial seal, a peerless imperial seal.”
"Your father died on the mountain."
"The person who had his eye on that jade seal did not hesitate to kill three people for it, and hid their deaths in the capital, leaving only the word 'missing' on the case file. The case file was deliberately ignored and shelved until now."
Huang Zheyue suddenly sprang up and rushed in front of Zhou Mingli. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred. "Who killed him!"
Zhou Mingli shook his head. "I don't know."
“Besides us, there are other people who know about this, because your father wasn’t the only one who died because of that jade seal; two other colleagues who went with him also died.”
“This matter needs to be investigated and evidence needs to be obtained. The letter and the photograph we found from the clues left by your father are the evidence.”
"Once the suspect is found, the truth about your father's death will come to light."
Huang Zheyue was breathing rapidly and was extremely agitated. He wished he could find the person who killed his father right now!
Zhou Mingli looked at him calmly, "I'm telling you this not so that you'll recklessly rush to the forefront, luring us, who are still in the shadows, into the light and attracting people to deal with us."
Huang Zheyue froze in place.
Huang Zheyue: "Do you want me to just stand by and watch the person who killed my father live a good life?"
Zhou Mingli: "Nobody knows how your father died."
Huang Zheyue's breathing was heavy. She paced back and forth, then finally squatted down, clutching her head, and said in anguish, "I can't do anything!"
Zhou Mingli did not respond to his words.
All powerlessness stems from one's own weakness.
"At least you have a chance to get your father's house back."
Huang Zheyue raised her head and looked at Zhou Mingli.
Zhou Mingli didn't say anything, but handed him the coat in his hand.
By the time I got back to the family dormitory, it was already quite dark.
He almost bumped into someone while turning the corner before he even went upstairs.
Zhou Mingli stepped back in time, and the two avoided touching.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry... Brother Zhou? It's you!"
The woman's voice was charming, and her eyes lit up when she saw that it was Zhou Mingli. She quickly took two steps closer to him.
The nights in early November are already quite cold, and most people would wear a thick coat if they went out at night, but the woman in front of me was not like that.
The thin floral dress revealed her fair arms and a large expanse of skin on the front. When she looked at people, her eyes were alluring, exuding the mature charm of a young woman.
The moment Zhou Mingli saw her, he knew what she was up to.
He sneered in his heart.
This family acted very quickly. Before he and Jiang Ci could even make a move, Bai Hua seized the opportunity to get close to them.
Zhou Mingli originally intended to leave directly, but for some reason, he suddenly became less resolute in leaving.
His eyes swept over Bai Hua's face.
Perhaps we can use this woman to capture Huang Gong in one fell swoop.
In the meantime, we also got rid of her completely, killing two birds with one stone.
A plan quickly flashed through Zhou Mingli's mind.
He remained expressionless and spoke in a fairly calm tone, "Hello, out for a stroll so late?"
Who's out for a walk late at night?
Bai Hua inwardly complained, but outwardly agreed with Zhou Mingli, saying, "Yeah, Brother Zhou, did you just get back from work? It's so late. Have you eaten? I brought two steamed buns with me. Here, have them."
Bai Hua spoke gently, but subtly tried to sow discord between Zhou Mingli and Bai Hua, saying, "I wonder if your partner has cooked for you. You don't know, your partner wasn't home while you were still at get off work."
Zhou Mingli said calmly, "My wife must have saved some food for me. Your family isn't doing well either, so keep the steamed buns for yourselves."
In Bai Hua's mind, these words were just a forced attempt to maintain her pride.
Men, after all, care about their image in front of others.
What an insensitive person! Is the steamed bun she's talking about the kind of steamed bun we eat?
She looked down at her ample breasts.
This is clearly it!
"I'm going back now, you can continue your walk," Zhou Mingli said, taking a step to go home.
"Why--"
Bai Hua watched Zhou Mingli leave, and she stomped her feet in anger.
What an oblivious person! Zhou Mingli could see a beautiful view just by looking down, but he deliberately pretended to be upright and wanted to keep his distance from her!
She's so angry!
When Zhou Mingli reached the corner, he suddenly paused. Bai Hua noticed that he seemed to have glanced at her!
Then he left quickly.
Bai Hua's heart still blossomed with joy.
See? See? Zhou Mingli wasn't so resolute after all! He started looking at her after only a few steps!
Bai Hua felt that she was truly exceptionally charming.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Baihua shivered. She quickly found the clothes she had taken off and put them back on.
Before she even got back to her apartment building, her hand was suddenly grabbed!
"You little slut! You're wearing such revealing clothes to seduce me, aren't you!"
Bai Hua screamed in surprise!
The man immediately covered Bai Hua's mouth!
But the noise still startled the residents in the family compound.
And Jiang Ci, who was on the first floor and hadn't gone up yet, and Zhou Mingli.
Bai Hua was unaware that Zhou Mingli had stopped in his tracks because he saw Jiang Ci standing by the stairs on the first floor. The stairs were not directly opposite the main entrance, but rather slightly off-center, so Zhou Mingli's gaze was not directed at her!
