"Mr. Xu, we meet again!"
Seeing that the other party had waited for him here on purpose, Xu Yanshu's eyes darkened slightly, and he said with an ambiguous tone, "It is kind of you, Young Master Zhou, to condescend to wait for me here. I am truly flattered!"
Zhou Zehao raised an eyebrow noncommittally, then slowly walked over to Xu Yanshu, glanced inside, and said meaningfully,
"I didn't expect you to remember to come here. You really are a kind and loyal person."
"I just don't know how long this friendship will last. Perhaps next time I come, you'll already have the same surname as me?"
He deliberately released the bait, so he naturally paid attention to how well the fish took the bait.
He specifically asked Qin Shengyi to inquire, and even he himself was ashamed of his filial piety! Thinking about this, Zhou Zehao's eyes suddenly darkened. Was this what he meant by not wanting to have anything to do with the Zhou family?
Xu Yanshu gave a barely audible sneer and retorted sarcastically, "What, are you scared?"
"you……"
Seeing the other person's face contort with anger, Xu Yanshu remained calm and continued to press for answers.
"You didn't wait here just to tell me this, did you? You're so boring! There's a saying that things reach their extremes and then reverse."
"The more you're paranoid, the more I might actually start to seriously consider acknowledging my ancestral roots!"
Enough is enough. Ever since we met, this person has been watching my every move like a spy from an enemy country, repeatedly getting close to me and making unwanted advances.
If I continue to sit and wait for my doom, this person will only go further and further astray.
Damn it!
Zhou Zehao's face was ashen, veins bulging on his forehead, and he couldn't help but spit inwardly.
This guy is getting more and more arrogant, so is he sure I won't dare to kill him?
“If you don’t have anything else, I…”
hehe--
Zhou Zehao let out a cold laugh, raised his eyes to look at Xu Yanshu with a sinister gaze, and spoke through gritted teeth.
"Are you sure you want to fight me? Then I guarantee you'll regret it!"
After saying that, Zhou Zehao turned around and got into the Maybach. The car shot off like an arrow released from a string.
So what does he want to do?
A sense of lingering fear inexplicably rose within Xu Yanshu, and the corners of his lips unconsciously darkened slightly.
——
"Suspect Xie Junyang was convicted of arms smuggling and intentional homicide. He was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve and deprived of his political rights for life!"
A suspended death sentence?
Xu Yanshu frowned in confusion, thinking it meant immediate execution.
Jiang Zhengyu, who was standing next to him, was also slightly taken aback. After realizing what he meant, he carefully explained in a low voice, "Because the statute of limitations for the Huo family and your father's car accident has expired, it cannot be used as a statute of limitations when determining the sentence!"
"It's true what they say, a scourge lives on!" He Wen muttered resentfully, his eyes filled with venom. Then he gave a noncommittal snort. "And since that's the case, let him spend the rest of his life in jail!"
Seeing that he was about to be suppressed again, Xie Junyang stopped and turned to look at the group of people waiting in the relatives' section. He smiled strangely and said...
"Heh heh, I'm just waiting to see, you despicable people will definitely suffer a terrible death!"
"And you, Xie Huanyu, you even schemed against your own father for a man. In the end, you'll definitely be a slut who's ridden by a thousand men and slept with by ten thousand!"
Feeling Xie Junyang's sinister gaze, Xie Huanyu's face suddenly turned pale, and she unconsciously clenched her hands at her sides.
The staff member immediately reprimanded him sternly, saying, "Behave yourself. This is a courthouse, not a place where you can act recklessly."
Because they weren't far apart, Xu Yanshu arrived at Xie Huanyu's side in time and whispered comforting words.
"Don't take it to heart, he's just angry out of embarrassment."
Xie Huanyu nodded slightly, but her gaze remained somewhat vacant. That look from before made her feel as if she had returned to the time when she was being manipulated at will by Xie Junyang.
Seeing that the other party was slow to come to his senses, Xu Yanshu's eyes became somewhat complicated. He turned his head and gave Jiang Zhengyu a look, and then he led Xie Huanyu out one after the other.
Slightly regaining her senses, Xie Huanyu looked up and gave the person a grateful glance.
"Yan Shu, thank you! I'm alright now!"
Xu Yanshu nodded in understanding, then said in a deep voice, "All that has happened before is in the past."
"After this, he will never have another chance to hurt you, and you can be yourself with peace of mind!"
Xie Huanyu was stunned when she heard such a sentence, and the grievances in her heart finally burst forth.
Her eyes welled up with tears, and she stepped forward to hug Xu Yanshu.
She had to admit that this man really understood her, and besides him, there was probably no one else in the world who would say such things to her.
This action caught Xu Yanshu somewhat off guard. After a slight hesitation, he ultimately did not push Xie Huanyu away, and simply let her hold him.
Hearing those past events sent chills down his spine. He really didn't know how Xie Huanyu had gotten through that period, and it was also hard for her to muster the courage to come out and expose Xie Junyang.

The long embrace ended with the sound of a phone taking a picture. Xie Huanyu subconsciously took a step back and looked up to see Zhou Zehao walking towards her at a leisurely pace.
"Hmm, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, you two really look well-matched!" Zhou Zehao said, nodding meaningfully with one hand in his pocket. "The Civil Affairs Bureau is right next door, isn't it?"
