Zhou Yanchen finished handling overseas affairs through a video conference and looked at the time. There were still a few hours until dawn.
He was going to take a nap, and just as he closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, his cell phone suddenly rang at an inopportune time.
Zhou Yanchen frowned, reached for his phone and saw that the caller ID was Bai Heng.
"Hello?" His voice sounded a little tired. "What are you doing? Aren't you asleep yet?"
"Why are you calling?"
Bai Heng smiled and said, "I haven't slept since I came back. Didn't you say that you wanted to collect all the evidence and let those people stay in there for decades?"
"I've sorted some things out here, and I'll send them to you later."
Zhou Yanchen closed his eyes and responded casually: "Yeah, okay."
Bai Heng paused for a moment, then asked, "Is Chu Xiaoyu feeling okay after returning home?"
Zhou Yanchen opened his eyes slightly, "He is with Xiao Li, there shouldn't be any big problems."
After a moment of silence, Zhou Yanchen suddenly asked, "Bai Heng, have you noticed that you seem to like her very much?"
Bai Heng obviously didn't expect Zhou Yanchen to say this. He was stunned for a moment and quickly explained: "I just think it's normal for a friend to care about her situation."
Zhou Yanchen: "If you say so, then so be it."
"Nothing else, I'm hanging up now. I'm going to sleep for a while."
Bai Heng took the phone away from his ear, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
Zhou Yanchen's words kept echoing in his ears, and he couldn't help but start to think, could it be that his concern for Chu Xiaoyu has really gone beyond the scope of friendship?
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and muttered to himself: "No, how can I like her?"
Shen Qingli woke up, turned his head and looked around, and there was no one around him.
Where did Xiaoyu go?
She quickly sat up from the bed, and when she was about to get out of bed, she saw Chu Xiaoyu sitting on a chair on the balcony.
When she saw her, her heart gradually settled down.
Shen Qingli got out of bed and came to Chu Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoyu, when did you wake up?"
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoyu forced a smile on her face, "Sister A Li, I just woke up, and I feel pretty good today, so I want to get some fresh air."
Shen Qingli knew that she wanted to use the wind to blow away the haze in her heart.
She sat down on the chair next to Chu Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, you won't go to work today, right?"
Chu Xiaoyu: "Sister A Li, you are fine now. I have a scheduled surgery today, so I have to go there."
Shen Qingli was a little worried about her condition, "What class are you going to work today?"
"Mid-shift."
"Okay, then let Sister Chen make lunch early."
"You can accompany me to send Dabao and Xiaobao to school later." Shen Qingli wanted to find something for her to do to distract her attention.
Chu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Okay."
"Then let's go downstairs and have breakfast now."
When Shen Qingli and the others went downstairs, Zhou Yanchen, Shen Jinnan and Shen Jinxi were already sitting at the dining table.
They came back in the early morning last night, so Dabao and Xiaobao didn't know that Chu Xiaoyu was at their house.
Both children were a little excited when they saw her.
"Aunt, when did you come here?" Shen Jinxi said while hugging her.
Chu Xiaoyu reached out and touched her head. "Auntie came over last night, but you were all asleep, so I didn't say hello to you."
"It's okay. My brother and I will be very happy if you come, aunt."
Chu Xiaoyu's depressed mood improved a lot after seeing the two children.
Zhou Yanchen gave Shen Qingli a look, and she immediately understood what he meant and whispered, "It should be fine."
They were halfway through breakfast when Bai Heng walked in from outside.
"It seems that 놖 came at the right time. 놖 didn't eat breakfast either."
Hearing this, Sister Chen quickly turned around and went to the kitchen to get clean dishes and chopsticks, "Mr. Bai, come and have something to eat too."
Bai Heng nodded slightly: "Thank you, Sister Chen."
He sat down next to Chu Xiaoyu. He glanced at Chu Xiaoyu casually and saw that her eyes were not too red or swollen, so she probably did not cry when she came back.
For some reason, seeing that she was in good condition, he gradually relaxed.
After breakfast, Shen Qingli and Chu Xiaoyu sent Dabao and Xiaobao to school.
Zhou Yanchen and Bai Heng went to the study.
"What evidence have you collected?" Zhou Yanchen asked.
Bai Heng pulled over a chair and sat down, then took out a few folded A4 papers from his pocket and placed them in front of Zhou Yanchen.
"Look, can these make their crimes more serious?"
Zhou Yanchen reached out and took it. Seeing the contents inside, he nodded, "녦뀪."
Bai Heng suddenly became serious: "Old Zhou, Chu Xiaoyu's father was probably set up by someone. He doesn't know where to hide now. I sent people to look for him, but they couldn't find him."
"Send your people to investigate. Chu Xiaoyu must be very worried about her father's safety, even though she won't admit it."
Zhou Yanchen gave him a meaningful look and said, "Well, I'll send someone to find him later."
"Bai Heng, if Yao Yao knew that you were helping Chu Xiaoyu like this, would she be angry?"
Bai Heng frowned when he heard this, "Why is she angry? It has nothing to do with her."
Zhou Yanchen reminded: "From what you saw, she seems to have already regarded you as her boyfriend."
"If you really don't have any feelings for her, tell her clearly."
Bai Heng: "I told her at the beginning that it was just a casual affair and she agreed."
"She doesn't look like that kind of person, right?"
Zhou Yanchen smiled and said, "What if she falls in love with you during this process, what will you do?"
"No." Bai Heng said firmly.
Bai Heng glanced at the time and said, "I still have things to deal with at the company, so I'm leaving first."
"I'll leave the task of finding Chu Xiaoyu's father to you."
"Got it, you can get busy now."
Bai Heng returned to the car, and what Zhou Yanchen had just said seemed to still echo in his ears.
Yao Yao shouldn’t be that kind of person, right?
Also, he just acted on impulse at the beginning.
Lao Zhou has said this more than once, so should he make it clear to her?
Bai Heng thought about it and decided to just lose the bet with Pei Yi.
Thinking of this, he picked up his phone and called Yao Yao, "Hello, this is Bai Heng, are you free now? I have something to tell you."
When Yao Yao saw Bai Heng took the initiative to look for her, she quickly got up from the bed and said, "I'm free."
"Then I'll wait for you at the cafe opposite the company."
"Okay, I'll be there in about half an hour."
After hanging up the phone, Yao Yao quickly got out of bed and cleaned herself up.
She quickly put on some makeup that looked pretty good, changed her clothes, and drove to find Bai Heng.
Yao Yao arrived at the coffee shop and turned her head to see Bai Heng sitting by the window.
She walked over quickly, "Brother Heng, you must have been waiting for a long time!"
Bai Heng heard the voice and looked at the person who came. "No, 놖 just arrived too. Please take a seat."
"Have you had breakfast?"
Yao Yao sat down and said softly, "Not yet."
Bai Heng took the menu and handed it to her, "Order whatever you want to eat."
"Thanks."
Yao Yao ordered the food and said, "Brother Heng, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Bai Heng thought about the wording and said, "Yao Yao, I'm sorry for asking you to pretend to be your girlfriend a few days ago."
When Yao Yao heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
