"Really?" Qin Shengyi asked instinctively, then her expression softened. "Brother Yan Shu, can you please stop judging people with such outdated views?"
"I'm not as vulnerable as you think. I can protect you!"
Even though she knew the concealment was well-intentioned, she still couldn't accept it. In her view, friends should share joys and sorrows, and she really disliked being excluded at crucial moments.
Qin Shengyi looked at Xu Yanshu with a serious expression. She didn't want him to think that she could only ever be the one being protected. Times had changed, and now she was fully confident that she could stand with him through thick and thin.
Unexpectedly hearing such words, Xu Yanshu was slightly moved. This was the first time in his life that someone other than his family had expressed a desire to protect him.
Xu Yanshu nodded solemnly, "Okay, I understand."
Only after the two made peace did Jiang Zhengyu dare to step forward. As soon as he sat down in front of the soft couch, he received a cold glare.
"So what exactly happened? When you reported it before, didn't you find nothing?"
When questioned, Xu Yanshu began to recount the whole story in a leisurely manner, inevitably mentioning Xie Huanyu's name.
Jiang Zhengyu subtly nudged Yan Shu's elbow, thinking to himself that this man was a bit too honest, and that such details didn't necessarily need to be mentioned.
Qin Shengyi was slightly surprised, but then, recalling the shocking wounds on Xie Huanyu's body, she vaguely understood why the other party had done this.
"Xie Huanyu may have really suffered a lot in places we can't see, which is why she was willing to help Brother Yan Shu."
Xu Yanshu nodded in deep agreement. In the end, Xie Junyang was bound to bring about his own downfall because of his many evil deeds. If he hadn't been so heartless and cruel in abusing his own daughter, he probably wouldn't have fallen so quickly.
As he pondered, the man's gaze began to become somewhat complicated.
Logically speaking, he should be grateful to Xie Huanyu for this, but... he just hopes that they can both live peacefully in the future, so he won't think about causing trouble for Xie Huanyu.
Just then, Jiang Zhengyu remembered something important, "Shengyi, did you tell your uncle you came to Kyoto?"
"I...not yet!" Qin Shengyi answered hesitantly, feeling a little guilty when asked.
When she guessed that Xie Junyang's detention might be due to Yan Shuge's actions, she became restless and impulsively flew directly to Kyoto.
Her uncle isn't stupid; he'll definitely become suspicious of her impulsive actions.
Jiang Zhengyu felt a surge of annoyance, but he had to suppress his temper and said directly, "Let's go to the airport and go back to Rongcheng immediately."
——
Upon learning of Xie Junyang's arrest, Zhou Zehao was the most furious person.
Not content with cursing the Xie family's ancestors for eighteen generations, he immediately smashed everything in the room to pieces.
Before she could do anything to Xu Yanshu, she ended up getting herself into trouble first!
Zhou Zehao gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging, and his expression was gloomy.
Since the old man is so useless, there's no need for him to come out. He might as well stay in prison and enjoy his old age.
After calming down a bit, Zhou Zehao lowered his head and lit the cigar between his fingers, exhaling smoke as his eyes gradually darkened and deepened.
Since he couldn't rely on others, he decided to meet Xu Yanshu himself.
No matter what, he was still his brother. By personally handing his body over to the Zhou couple, he was repaying their years of kindness in raising him.
As he pondered, a strange smile appeared on Zhou Zehao's face, his cold and fierce appearance making him look like a demon who had just returned from hell.
He tossed the nearly finished cigar into the nearby trash can, got up, went to the French windows, took out his phone, and dialed Xu Yanshu's number.
"Mr. Xu, congratulations on finally getting what you wanted."
The person on the other end readily admitted it, saying casually, "An eye for an eye, I was just acting in self-defense. What do you say, Young Master Zhou?"
“I knew I was right. Mr. Xu is indeed no ordinary person,” Zhou Zehao said meaningfully. “How are you doing, Mr. Xu? Have you been busy lately? Let’s meet up sometime.”
"I'm a free man, I'm always available."
