Watching Zhou Na dial Zhou Haide's number,
Zhou Chuan felt a surge of envy and jealousy, along with a hidden hatred deep in his eyes. They were both Zhou Haide's children, yet Zhou Chuan didn't even have Zhou Haide's phone number. Before, if he wanted to contact Zhou Haide, he had to go through Secretary Wang. On the other hand, Zhou Na could call Zhou Haide directly.
Not to mention, Zhou Haide tricked him into giving away his kidney to save another son.
This caused Zhou Chuan to harbor considerable resentment, but he kept it hidden and did not let it erupt.
Just then,
Zhou Chuan noticed that Zhou Na's brows were furrowed.
Before Zhou Chuan could even wonder what had happened, Zhou Na's expression changed again, this time turning rather unpleasant. At least, Zhou Chuan had rarely seen Zhou Na look like this.
"Second sister, what's wrong? Has something happened?"
After Zhou Na hung up the phone with a heavy expression, Zhou Chuan quickly asked her what was wrong.
Zhou Na did not respond, seemingly still processing the news from the phone call.
Until five seconds had passed,
Zhou Na took a deep breath and slowly said, "The person who answered the phone just now was Li Xiaolong's mother. She said that Zhou Haide has had everything taken back by the Li family and is currently being investigated by Uncle Hat. He will be sent to prison soon. If we want to see him, we can only go to the prison on Hong Kong Island in person."
What?
Zhou Chuan was stunned.
Has the Li family taken everything from Zhou Haide? And is he about to be sent to prison?
"Second sister, you're not kidding, are you? How could this be!"
Zhou Chuan found it hard to believe, feeling that it was like Li Meihui's lie.
“I also think it’s impossible, but from her tone, it doesn’t sound like she’s joking.” Zhou Na didn’t believe it either, but why would Li Meihui lie to him?
"Is it possible that she didn't want you to contact Zhou Haide, so she said that on purpose?" Zhou Chuan suggested.
Zhou Na thought it made sense. After thinking for a few seconds, she said, "Fourth brother, call Secretary Wang. He's my personal secretary, so he definitely won't talk nonsense."
The truth will come to light once we verify with Secretary Wang.
Zhou Chuan nodded. He still had Secretary Wang's phone number; he hadn't deleted it before.
After a long wait,
After a while, someone finally answered the call.
"Hello, is this Secretary Wang? This is Zhou Chuan, I'd like to..."
"Secretary Wang is currently under investigation by our police. Who are you to Secretary Wang?"
Snap!
Upon hearing the word "police," Zhou Chuan's hand slipped, and his phone suddenly fell to the ground, the battery popped out, and the call was abruptly cut off.
Secretary Wang is at the police station undergoing investigation, which clearly confirms that Li Meihui's statement is true.
Zhou Haide is finished!
Zhou Na had heard the conversation clearly and immediately confirmed that what Li Meihui said was true.
Although they didn't know why the Li family had abandoned Zhou Haide, there must have been a reason.
In a short time,
Zhou Na and Zhou Chuan both fell silent.
They all wanted to use Zhou Haide's connections to achieve success in their careers and gain some money, etc.
But now that Zhou Haide has lost everything, all their plans will vanish.
This was something neither of them could accept.
"Haha, serves him right, he deserves it. He abandoned us and then tricked me out of my kidney. Zhou Haide, this is your retribution, you deserve it."
Zhou Chuan suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter bordering on maniacal.
"Great news!"
"This is fantastic news!"
Whether it was because he was too shocked or genuinely happy, Zhou Chuan didn't greet Zhou Na, turned around and walked away muttering to himself, completely disregarding the stares of passersby, laughing loudly as he went.
Zhou Na's face lost all expression as she watched Zhou Chuan walk away, and it was a long time before she turned and left.
On the other end,
Zhou Ling discovered that her calls to Li Xiaolong went unanswered.
Seeing this, Zhao Kun comforted him, saying not to worry, perhaps Li Xiaolong was too busy, or perhaps he was working with his family to find a way to trap Zhou Chen, following their advice.
"Brother Kun, my right eyelid keeps twitching, it feels like something bad is about to happen."
Zhou Ling felt inexplicably uneasy, so she called Li Xiaolong, hoping to get confirmation.
But no one answered the phone.
"You're just worried and making a mistake. Don't worry, I don't believe the Li family would really be willing to give up half of their shares to that bastard Zhou Chen. Stop being so superstitious."
Zhao Kun offered words of comfort once again.
Just as the two were talking, Zhou Ling's phone suddenly vibrated.
Someone called.
"It was Secretary Wang's call." Zhou Ling's eyes showed a hint of surprise as she looked up at Zhao Kun.
"What does he want by calling?" Zhao Kun frowned, but still let Zhou Ling answer the phone, just in case Secretary Wang had something good to say.
But when Zhou Ling answered the call and pressed the speakerphone button,
What the other person said left Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun completely dumbfounded.
Ten minutes later,
Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun sat down like mummies.
The news just now was so explosive, so explosive that they couldn't believe it.
Who would have thought that Zhou Haide would be arrested and investigated by the police?
Fortunately, they were unaware of and did not participate in the plot to seize the Li family's property; otherwise, they too would have been taken away by Uncle Hat.
"Zhou Haide went to prison, which means he has nothing left, and we can no longer get any benefits from him."
Zhao Kun murmured softly.
Zhou Ling remained silent. It was true that she hated Zhou Haide, but that didn't mean she wanted him to end up in prison. After all, she only had a chance to benefit from Zhou Haide's good life; otherwise, she would get nothing.
However,
Things happened so suddenly, taking the last thing she wanted to see.
It’s over!
With Zhou Haide gone, she will have no one to exploit, and no resources to seek revenge on Zhou Chen. The Li family hates Zhou Haide now, so why would they have any goodwill towards her, Zhou Haide's daughter?
No wonder Li Xiaolong didn't answer the phone; he just didn't want to talk to her.
Zhou Ling's ideas were correct in some ways, but her ideas about Li Xiaolong were wrong. Because of Li Xiaolong's physical condition, he would not give up on Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, who were his two organ backups. However, at this moment, because he lost the bet to Zhou Chen, in order to quell the anger of the Li family, Li Zhenrong ordered him to stay at home, cut off all contact with the outside world, and reflect on his actions.
"Brother Kun, my heartless father has passed away. Will you despise me?"
Thinking about Zhou Haide's downfall, Zhou Ling suddenly felt like she had lost her support. Would Zhao Kun still treat her the same way as before?
"Of course I won't mind."
Zhao Kun said with a smile, but he had another thought in his mind.
He has no feelings for Zhou Ling now, so he doesn't dislike her; he just doesn't want to get close to her. However, Zhou Ling's words reminded him that he might be able to use this incident as an excuse to go out and stay for a few days, citing a bad mood as the reason.
The thought of being able to fully express his true self in another neighborhood, in his secret garden, filled Zhao Kun with anticipation.
