Before Zhou Yi went to Kyoto, he told himself that he was going to Kyoto to treat the wives of high-ranking officials.
But Aunt Zhou couldn't understand why she had been poisoned by the medicine. Zhou Yi wasn't the type to act rashly; he wouldn't have gone to Kyoto if he wasn't absolutely certain!
Why did things turn out this way?
Aunt Zhou also wondered if Zhou Yi had offended someone and was thus framed, but since Zhou Yi was in Kyoto, she had no connections to inquire about news from Kyoto.
The only person she knew and could contact was this greasy high-ranking official. Rationally, Aunt Zhou knew that the greasy man's official position was not high enough, and he probably couldn't find out any news about Zhou Yi in the capital.
Emotionally, this was the only way she could find solace and a chance to catch her breath in the suffocating environment.
After hearing Aunt Zhou's plea, the greasy man chuckled on the phone.
His laughter sounded like a lump of phlegm stuck in his throat, a muffled, deep chuckle: "It's just about getting someone out of trouble. As long as you can satisfy me, none of this is a problem."
“I know some leaders in Beijing. If I just ask them for help, things like Zhou Yi’s are no problem. They can solve them easily.”
"Wait for me in the presidential suite at the Baiyun Hotel tonight!"
"Dress a little sexier."
The greasy man specifically told Aunt Zhou to dress more sexily, and then hung up the phone without waiting for her reply.
Aunt Zhou put down her phone in despair, closed her eyes, and her mind was filled with countless thoughts.
There's really no other way.
She could only place all her hopes on the greasy man.
He only hoped that after he sacrificed himself, he would keep his promise.
But Aunt Zhou also knew that this kind of man was shrewd and disgusting, and that she might end up losing her body and getting nothing in return...
But she'd give it a shot, even if it was only a one in ten thousand chance.
At this moment, Aunt Zhou felt like a gambler who had been tricked into gambling, her face flushed with losses, thinking that she would definitely win the next round.
The greasy man told her to dress more sexily. Aunt Zhou looked down at her clothes, then dialed her secretary's number and asked her to buy her a sexy nightgown and send it over.
When the secretary heard Aunt Zhou ask her to buy sexy pajamas, her heart sank.
"Mr. Zhou, are you really sure?"
Aunt Zhou pretended to be fine and said to her secretary with a relaxed expression, "There's no need to persuade me anymore. I have no other way out."
"I can only trust him now."
The secretary sighed softly and, following Aunt Zhou's instructions, went to the mall to personally select pajamas for her.
When the secretary delivered the purchased pajamas to Aunt Zhou, Aunt Zhou put down her phone, which still displayed call logs.
Aunt Zhou made one last phone call to Zhou Yi, just like the dozens of calls she had made before.
Still no one answered!
"Okay, go and do your work."
The secretary's eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
Aunt Zhou didn't want to see the secretary's pitiful eyes, as it would only make her more hesitant. So, Aunt Zhou hardened her heart and told the secretary to leave.
After arranging things at the company, Aunt Zhou left the Zhou Group with the pajamas she had bought.
The secretary watched Aunt Zhou's departing figure, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
She lowered her head to avoid looking, as if only in this way could she deceive herself into believing that President Zhou was out discussing business, rather than sacrificing himself to save the Zhou Group.
The secretary opened her email account, which she had just cleared yesterday, but dozens of emails had arrived today.
Without even opening it closely, one could tell that it contained some mid-level managers from various departments of the Zhou Group. Seeing that the Zhou Group was about to sink to the bottom of the sea, everyone had begun to jump ship.
The secretary sighed heavily. She couldn't blame everyone for jumping ship and leaving, but she herself would absolutely stay with President Zhou until the very end!
It's not too late for her to leave when the Zhou Group truly collapses!
And now, she will still stick to her post.
"Ring ring—"
The secretary was about to reply to the email when her phone, which was lying next to her, suddenly rang.
The secretary glanced to the side and her pupils widened when she saw the name that appeared on her phone.
The caller ID showed the name she had left in her contacts—Young Master Zhou!
Zhou Shao is none other than Zhou Yi!
Upon seeing this note, the secretary's mind went blank.
Rumors are rife online that Zhou Shao offended someone and was arrested.
Why would he call himself?
The secretary finally realized what was happening when the phone had been ringing for a long time and was about to be hung up. She hurriedly reached for her phone, but her trembling fingers failed to press the answer button several times.
Just as the secretary was feeling both nervous and excited, the incoming call page automatically disconnected because no one answered for too long.
At that moment, the secretary's heart sank into an abyss.
"Buzzing..."
Before the secretary could dial back, Young Master Zhou called again.
The secretary took a deep breath and quickly pressed the answer button.
"Young Master Zhou!"
The secretary called out with trepidation and uncertainty.
"It's me." The secretary breathed a sigh of relief only after Zhou Yi's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I called my aunt several times, but I couldn't get through to her on her cell phone."
"If you see her, please let her know she's safe for me."
"I'm out now, tell her not to worry."
After hearing Zhou Yi's words clearly, the secretary was both angry and annoyed. She anxiously said to Zhou Yi, "Young Master Zhou, it would have been better if you had called earlier."
"Too late!"
"In order to get you out of trouble and save the Zhou Group, President Zhou agreed to accompany the obese high-ranking official who had been harassing her tonight."
"She left for our appointment just a few minutes ago!"
Upon hearing his secretary's words, Zhou Yi's expression changed drastically: "What did you say?!"
Do you know which hotel it is?
"There's only a few minutes between them. Go and stop her quickly; you might be able to stop her if you hurry."
Without Zhou Yi saying anything, the secretary had already rushed towards the elevator in her high heels.
When Zhou Yi learned that his aunt had sacrificed herself for him and the company, he was extremely anxious. He gave his secretary a few instructions and then hurriedly hung up the phone.
at this time.
Zhou Yi was sitting in the car arranged for him by the minister, and the car was heading smoothly to the minister's house.
This morning, the minister told him that his bail application had been approved, restoring his freedom, and that he could go to the detention center to retrieve his belongings.
After getting his phone back from prison, Zhou Yi discovered that his aunt had been calling him incessantly for the past few days, and that she had called him just half an hour earlier.
Therefore, after turning on his phone, Zhou Yi immediately called Aunt Zhou back.
However, Zhou Yi couldn't get through to Aunt Zhou on the phone, so he called his secretary, only to learn from her that Aunt Zhou was going to make a huge sacrifice for him.
After hanging up with his secretary, Zhou Yi quickly called the bodyguards he had secretly kept in Luzhou.
