"Mr. Zhou, Young Master Mu is here. He says he has something important to discuss with you!"
What important thing could he possibly have to do?
A hint of impatience flashed in Zhou Zehao's eyes, and he unconsciously frowned.
If it weren't for that idiot Mu Yichen, I wouldn't have been suspected by the Ouyang family so quickly.
Zhou Zehao waved his hand, "If you don't want to see me, just say I'm busy!"
The secretary nodded in understanding, then turned and walked out.
Seeing the signs, I believe Qin Yao will soon find out about me.
Zhou Zehao narrowed his eyes secretly, knowing that the old man's bias towards Xu Yanshu meant he would definitely side with Xu Yanshu after finding out.
Since that's the case, then bring it on!
Zhou Zehao reached out and tugged at his tie, a deep gloom instantly appearing between his brows.
——
As the parties involved had anticipated, Ouyang Ming quickly discovered many suspicious points.
"Ayao, I've found out. Mu Yichen and Zhou Zehao do indeed have a long-standing friendship."
"Moreover, before the incident, Zhou Zehao specifically contacted the families of these two kidnappers!" Ouyang Ming said solemnly, his tone serious, with suppressed anger deep in his eyes.
So his wife's guess was absolutely right; the so-called kidnapping was a scheme orchestrated by Mu Yichen and Zhou Zehao.
Thinking about it, Ouyang Ming unconsciously clenched his hands at his sides, even though he had been grateful to him for this before.
"In that case, I don't think we need to cooperate anymore, especially since the projects haven't even started yet!"
“Once it’s been given away, there’s no reason to take it back,” Qin Yao interrupted, raising her hand as she gave the person in front of her a meaningful look, her tone intriguing. “There’s a kind of retribution in this world called ‘you can’t take the consequences.’”
In order to become their family's savior, they went so far as to orchestrate their own scheme. Since the other party is unscrupulous in their actions, they don't need to give them any face.
Ouyang Ming understood instantly, and he nodded thoughtfully.
If someone dares to set their sights on your own daughter, then they should be taught a lesson.
The reason Zhou Zehao got involved in this matter was simply because of Xu Yanshu.
As she pondered, Qin Yao frowned impatiently, thankful that she hadn't agreed to the two of them being together.
Xu Yanshu's abilities seem limited, yet he's embroiled in so many conflicts and grudges.
"As for the rest, tell Xu Yanshu the information you found and see how he handles this matter!" Qin Yao narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.
"Why tell him? It's not like we can't handle that kid..."
"What do you know? Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Since Zhou Zehao came for Xu Yanshu, then naturally he should collect it himself."
"He always says he cares about our daughter, so we should give her a chance to show it!"
I can't let Shengyi become a victim of the brothers' power struggle for no reason. Since things are destined to be turbulent, I might as well add fuel to the fire.
Is it really necessary to go to such lengths? Ouyang Ming frowned in disapproval, thinking it would be better to take the evidence and settle accounts with the Zhou family.
Qin Yao snapped out of her reverie and was surprised to find her husband still standing there. She frowned in displeasure and spoke in an unfriendly tone.
"What are you still standing there for? Do you have some other opinion? Huh?!"
Looking up, he was suddenly met with his wife's icy gaze, and Ouyang Ming couldn't help but shiver. His face immediately plastered with a smile, "No, absolutely not, I'll go right now!"
After saying that, Ouyang Ming turned around and strode out of the study.
This guy!
Seeing this, Qin Yao couldn't help but chuckle. She shook her head helplessly and then turned to walk to the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly watching the bustling traffic below.
For a moment, she couldn't think of how Xu Yanshu would handle this matter. But no matter what, she would teach Zhou Zehao a lesson herself, so that he would never dare to mess with their family again.
...
It really was him!
After ending the call with Ouyang Ming, Xu Yanshu was filled with intense anger, and the veins on his forehead bulged one after another.
Impulsiveness is the devil; you absolutely must not act impulsively at this time.
Xu Yanshu took deep breaths and kept admonishing himself, but he still couldn't suppress the anger deep inside his heart.
He resolutely turned around, only to unexpectedly see Huang Dongsheng walking in from outside.
“I’ve finished taking care of things here and will probably be back in Kyoto soon, so I thought I’d come and check on you…” Halfway through his sentence, Huang Dongsheng noticed that Xu Yanshu’s expression was off and asked with some confusion, “Why do you look so pale? What happened?”
Xu Yanshu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and then succinctly explained the ins and outs of the matter.
Even dragons have their Achilles' heel, and his ultimate bottom line is to win.
Zhou Zehao has already gone this far, and now he doesn't care about long-term planning anymore; he just wants to give them a taste of their own medicine.
Isn't this exactly the same tactic that old man from the Xie family used back then?
Huang Dongsheng gave a noncommittal snort, his face gradually darkening. After regaining his composure, he reached out and patted Xu Yanshu's shoulder meaningfully.
"I completely understand how you feel right now, but it's really not the time to act impulsively."
“You’ve only just returned to the Zhou family. If you really want to settle scores with Zhou Zehao, given Old Zhou’s intolerant nature, he definitely won’t continue to tolerate Zhou Zehao.”
"But these inside stories will absolutely not be made public. Because she found her biological son, she kicked her adopted son out of the house. As this kind of public opinion intensifies, it will push the Zhou family into the eye of the storm!"
indeed
Xu Yanshu suddenly calmed down and had to admit that such analysis was indeed reasonable. He sighed helplessly.
He had just reunited with his biological parents and naturally didn't want the Zhou family to become the target of public criticism because of this matter.
Despite having thought things through clearly, Xu Yanshu hesitated to let go of his hands hanging by his sides, his thin lips still pressed down into a straight line.
The little girl suffered such a great injustice because of him, but he was unable to teach the culprit a lesson immediately... Helpless, he couldn't help but feel somewhat frustrated.
Seeing through the other party's thoughts, Huang Dongsheng took a breath and reassured him, "Don't worry, there's a saying that a gentleman's revenge is never too late!"
Xu Yanshu nodded knowingly, his expression softening slightly, and then looked at the person in front of him with sincere eyes.
"Then I'll make the arrangements for tonight, as a farewell gift for you."
