Chapter 155 Living a Life of Leisure and Waiting to Die



The name 'Zhou Yi' was clearly reflected in her indifferent eyes, and those cold eyes flickered slightly, as if a sudden emotional fluctuation had occurred.

She tapped the push notification with her finger. Perhaps it was a habit she had developed over the past four years, but Shen Bingyan always read the news about Zhou Yi very carefully.

She looked at it slowly, but when her finger swiped over a picture...

Shen Bingyan suddenly held her breath. After a brief moment of shock, she took a deep breath and zoomed in on the image: "How could this be..."

It's her!!!

Even from just a glimpse of her back, Shen Bingyan recognized that it was Su Qingjiao!

Su Qingjiao was arrested by the police?

Shen Bingyan quickly read the news and then browsed the comments below, vaguely guessing how things were going to go.

I thought that after returning to Kyoto, I would forget about these years as time went by, but this news still made me feel a little happy and shocked.

Zhou Yi finally saw through Su Qingjiao's true colors.

This is the only piece of good news that has surprised her during this period!

But after the initial joy, a faint sense of helplessness and regret arose in my heart, like the lingering feeling after the fireworks had faded.

Too late!

She has returned to Kyoto!

Before she returned to Kyoto, as long as Zhou Yi could see through Su Qingjiao's true colors, she would relentlessly continue pursuing him, telling herself that there was still a chance and she couldn't give up.

During her time in Luzhou, Zhou Yi rejected her countless times.

Perhaps, as the internet says, love begins at the first meeting.

If you can't develop a good impression on someone the first time you meet them, then no matter how much effort you put in later, it will be useless: "Forget it, since I've decided to let go, I won't force it."

"Kyoto is rife with conflict and change. Perhaps this is fate. I hope he is at peace."

Shen Bingyan's eyelashes trembled slightly as she silently murmured to herself.

Luzhou is a thousand kilometers away from Beijing, but Shen Bingyan didn't dare to fly to Zhou Yi, let alone approach him again.

She feared that no matter how many times she went to Luzhou to find Zhou Yi, it would still end in failure.

Shen Bingyan was so engrossed in staring at her phone that she didn't even notice that her grandfather had secretly taken two chess pieces from the chessboard.

Having completed his cheating under Shen Bingyan's nose, Old Master Shen pretended to be nonchalant and coughed twice to bring Shen Bingyan back to her senses.

"Ahem, Yan Yan, it's your turn."

Shen Bingyan glanced at the chessboard, then looked meaningfully at Old Master Shen. Old Master Shen casually looked away, glancing around, but dared not meet his granddaughter's gaze.

Seeing her grandfather's cheating expression, Shen Bingyan didn't expose him and neatly placed the chess pieces on the chessboard.

"Hiss, the placement of your chess pieces is a bit hard to understand."

"Yan Yan, you're not trying to lure me into killing me, are you? No, no, I can't leave here. I need to think about it some more."

Grandpa Shen, holding the chess piece, was once again caught in a dilemma, unable to make a decision.

Shen Bingyan leaned back on the soft sofa, as if remembering something. She glanced at the bodyguard standing beside her and looked at him: "Oh, right."

"I asked you to find out who saved me last time, why haven't we heard anything yet?"

The bodyguard stood stiffly, his lips pressed into a thin line, and answered with a forced smile:

"I'm sorry, miss, the situation that day was a bit complicated. The people I sent are still investigating."

"Give me three more days, and I'm sure I can find this person."

Shen Bingyan nodded, closed her eyes and said, "Go down and look for him. Whoever it is, he is my savior. The Shen family cannot mistreat him."

-

Unlike the warm and peaceful atmosphere of the Shen family's home, the Qi family's huge villa was cold and deserted, and even the servants were chosen to be quiet and hardworking.

This makes the entire villa seem even colder, like a magnificent prison.

Grandpa Qi's confidant froze on the spot, looking at the trending news pushed to his phone with a complicated expression. Water droplets from his freshly washed hair fell onto the screen with a 'plop'.

This drop of water was like a bullet he had forgotten for nearly twenty years, which suddenly struck him right between the eyebrows.

[Shocking! The identity of the Zhou Group's heir has been revealed—it's him!!!]

[Hidden identity for over twenty years, all for a powerful comeback!]

Zhou Yi, heir to the Zhou Group, made a powerful return at the Zhou Group's annual ceremony, causing a stir...

"Zhou Yi, it's you...it's you!"

Seeing Zhou Yi's name appear at the top of the trending search list filled his confidant with both shock and fear.

She was afraid that Old Master Qi would find out about it, and she was also afraid that her adopted daughter would find out.

Initially, he was lured by his adopted daughter to handle the aftermath. When he finally found the young lady, she had already lost her memory and had married someone in Luzhou City and had a son.

Even thinking of his adopted daughter nestled against his chest, crying in fear, he still laid a hand on the young lady.

He originally thought—

All that was needed was to kill the young lady, but the man was suspicious of her death and kept pursuing the matter relentlessly. Under Zhou's father's investigation, they actually found some clues.

Having no other choice, he had to harden his heart and eliminate the threat completely. For someone like him, who came from the battlefield, killing was as simple as eating and drinking.

Actually, the best course of action is to eliminate all information about the young lady's family, including the fact that they should all die!

But... but when he held the young lady's child, he saw little Zhou Yi smile at him, looking into those pure and innocent eyes, so much like the deceased young lady, so much like the old man.

His confidant suddenly softened.

Therefore, he made the worst decision.

The decision was made to keep Zhou Yi and Old Madam Zhou. As long as Zhou Yi's identity could be kept secret, they should never investigate the cause of the young lady's death again and never show their faces!

As long as Zhou Yi lives a mediocre life as a rich second-generation, indulging in a life of leisure and waiting to die, without ever thinking about turning his life around, he can live a peaceful and carefree life in Luzhou.

After returning that time, the confidant lied to the adopted daughter and also concealed the fact that Zhou Yi existed.

But he never expected that Zhou Yi, who had lived a peaceful life for more than 20 years, would one day appear on the trending searches: "How could this be? You finally made your appearance."

"Why, why....."

"Why didn't you just hide? Why did you have to show yourself!"

The confidant closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and wondered whether he should blame himself for being too soft-hearted back then, or blame the internet for being so advanced now.

He was able to see news about Zhou Yi, who was thousands of miles away, even though he was in Kyoto.

He saw the message; I'm afraid that adopted daughter...

Once the adopted daughter sees Zhou Yi's face, which resembles her mother's, she probably won't be able to hide it anymore, and that femme fatale will definitely send someone to assassinate Zhou Yi again.

This time, there will be no surprises!
