Upon learning of the fire at the Zhou family's old residence, Zhou Yi returned to China overnight.
Only the Su mother and daughter were present at the old house that day. Zhou Yi naturally wouldn't easily believe their testimonies alone, so he investigated for a long time afterward.
Unfortunately, the fire burned everything in the old house to the ground, making any investigation impossible.
With the later appearance of the system and the inclusion of Su Qingjiao in the choices, Zhou Yi dispelled his doubts about the Su family mother and daughter and chose to pursue the 'love-starved' and impoverished Su Qingjiao.
But to my utter surprise...
The recording continued to play, completely exposing the conversation between the shareholder and Su Qingjiao to the two of them.
Even though the two had already guessed the shareholder's purpose, Aunt Zhou still looked at Zhou Yi in surprise when she heard the two things the shareholder asked Su Qingjiao to do.
Xiao Yi's prediction was absolutely correct!
Her subsequent arrangements were correct!
At this moment, Zhou Yi stared intently at the player, his eyes like magma churning beneath an iceberg, ready to break through the surface ice and incinerate all living things.
The more calm and restrained Zhou Yi appeared, the more one could sense the raging, murderous crisis lurking beneath his surface.
A hint of admiration and heartache flashed in Aunt Zhou's eyes. Xiao Yi seemed to have really grown up. Even after knowing the truth, he could control all his emotions very well!
Xiao Yi is a qualified successor!
Godmother, you can finally rest assured!
The recording continued, and after the car started, the shareholder sneered and muttered to himself:
“Foolish women, if I hadn’t helped them clean up the traces afterward, they would have thought they could convince Zhou Yi with their story.”
“Four years ago, I helped them. Now it’s their turn to pay the price.”
The recording abruptly stopped.
Everything is clear now!
The shareholders have been the masterminds behind this incident.
"It turns out that this old shareholder started planning everything four years ago. After the accident, I had someone investigate the matter."
"It turns out that this shareholder had already intervened back then."
Aunt Zhou's angry face showed a thoughtful look, then her eyes turned cold: "You ungrateful wretch, your godmother has not mistreated him, he knows everything but refuses to tell us."
"And he would even pretend to visit his godmother every month, which made me think he was loyal to her!"
It took Zhou Yi a long time to calm the boiling anger in his heart.
When the truth came out, everything became clear.
No wonder he tried so hard to win over Su Qingjiao before, but Su Qingjiao's attitude towards him was always ambiguous.
It turns out that Su Qingjiao was also afraid, afraid of the moment she would find out the truth.
He originally thought that the moment he learned the truth, he would immediately go back to find Su Qingjiao, grab her by the neck and watch her suffocate in despair, and even kill her with his own hands!
Having experienced rebirth, Zhou Yi's mental resilience is no longer what it used to be.
Letting Su Qingjiao die like this is too easy for her!
He wanted to drive Su Qingjiao step by step into despair, to let her gradually sink into pain, fear, and despair. A dull knife was the most torturous method, more terrifying than killing someone with a single blow.
Sensing the somber atmosphere in the ward, Aunt Zhou's eyelids twitched, fearing that Zhou Yi would personally deal with Su and her daughter, so she hurriedly tried to comfort her.
"Xiao Yi, don't do anything foolish. It's not worth the risk for these heartless bastards."
"Now that we know their plan, we can turn the tables on them and make them lose everything by legitimate means, sending them to prison."
"Given what they've done, and with us pushing them a bit, they'll either get life imprisonment or the death penalty."
"I specifically looked into what life is like inside Luzhou Prison, especially for serious offenders. That's truly a living hell, and they just want to be executed as soon as possible every day."
Zhou Yi closed his eyes, trying to make his emotions sound normal.
"Auntie, I know, don't worry, I won't do anything foolish."
No matter how thoroughly something is covered up, it can always be uncovered if someone is determined to investigate.
Just like that fire, no matter how much you try to erase the traces, something will always remain.
My aunt is right. He won't let these two dying people give him any leverage or stain on his record!
Aunt Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, and then said, "This old guy has been with your grandmother since the beginning of her business. Even though he couldn't get involved in the company before, he still has his own ideas."
"But during those four years, he must have recruited a lot of mid- to senior-level talent within the company."
"Let's take this opportunity to reorganize the company."
"Xiao Yi, I'm 80% sure he'll try to take advantage of this research. Only in this way can he maximize his profits."
"But I didn't want to leave that two-point risk, so I planned to lure him into a trap and force him to reveal the secret formula for the shampoo."
"I will then hand over the confidential documents..."
If you're going to make a plan, you have to be 100% thorough. Aunt Zhou has already come up with a preliminary plan.
But to her surprise, Zhou Yi rejected her plan.
Zhou Yi said, "Auntie, this plan isn't safe. A plan should be simple, quick, and the fewer people who know about it, the better."
“I know the people you arranged are all people you trust, but I have a better way.”
"When you hold a media conference to announce the launch of the new market, leave the confidential documents with me."
"They will only choose the trap we've prepared for them if we give them a chance to get it."
"Moreover, in this way, only the Su mother and daughter are more suitable to sneak into the villa."
"I will make them pay for their crimes in blood, and make them wish they were dead!"
Aunt Zhou instinctively denied it, then suddenly became agitated: "Xiao Yi, no, I can't let you get into this crisis."
“If our plan fails, I can plead guilty, but you absolutely cannot get hurt.”
"I know you really want to kill them right now, but can you leave everything to me?"
"As for you, you will observe from the sidelines this time. If... I fail, you can still take over the Zhou Group as the heir of the Zhou family."
"When the time comes, you can publicly sever ties with me, and then I won't drag you down anymore."
Hearing that Aunt Zhou was thinking of him in every way, Zhou Yi's heart skipped a beat. The raging fire of anger in his heart seemed to be suddenly greeted by a spring rain, which temporarily calmed the fire.
Hearing Aunt Zhou repeatedly talk about what would happen if she failed...
Thinking about Aunt Zhou's fate in her previous life, Zhou Yi felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he were being pricked by needles.
He would never let his aunt suffer the same fate as she did in her past life!
He would not let his aunt fight alone in this life again!
Zhou Yi looked at Aunt Zhou with unwavering determination: "Aunt, the Zhou Group belongs to both of us, so we should protect it together."
