Du Yuanzhe told Xia Ningmi about Zhou Chenlang's letter of apology and said, "I always feel that something is wrong."

Xia Ningmi frowned. She hadn't expected that Zhou Heng's matter was not over yet, and there might even be other situations.

"The police will investigate thoroughly."

No matter what the problem was, Xia Ningmi had no interest in understanding it.

But Xia Ningmi didn't care, but Du Yuanzhe couldn't ignore it. After all, Zhou Chenlang was You Yingxue's boyfriend. He couldn't ignore it as long as there was a possibility that it was related to the Luck Plundering System.

After finishing the call with Xia Ningmi, Du Yuanzhe asked the system: "Do you think it is possible for the Luck Plundering System to take action against Zhou Heng so that Zhou Chenlang can inherit the company and better cover up for You Yingxue?"

[They temporarily destroyed the cooperation between Liu Chenglian and Wei Lingling, and they certainly gained some luck, but the luck they plundered should not be much. After all, it was only temporarily destroyed, and Liu Chenglian would still look for Wei Lingling to cooperate in the future.]

[And Zhou Heng is not valuable enough for the Luck Plundering System to take action]

Looking back, the Luck Plundering System used luck to influence other people's consciousness twice, once to destroy Wei Lingling's rise, and once to replace the host.

Zhou Heng's importance is indeed not yet at the point where the luck plundering system would waste his luck.

Du Yuanzhe frowned: "If it wasn't the Luck Plundering System that took action, could it be that Zhou Chenlang hired someone to kill his father?"

He thought this possibility was ridiculous: "Let's not talk about whether Zhou Chenlang had any reason to do this. He was in the car when the accident happened. Wasn't he afraid of losing his life?"

But Zhou Chenlang's letter of apology was too bizarre. Something that shouldn't have happened happened. It was hard not to think too much.

Du Yuanzhe thought for a long time and said in a deep voice: "If it was really Zhou Chenlang, then he must have known that the car accident would happen. In this way, when he encountered the car accident, he had enough reaction time to make the car deflect in a direction that was favorable to him. Only in this way could he survive."

He once wondered if this was Zhou Chenlang covering up for You Yingxue again, but no matter how bold You Yingxue was, she would never do anything to Zhou Heng. Even if they were not on good terms as father and son, they still had a real blood relationship. Zhou Chenlang was still useful to You Yingxue, and she would not risk creating an irreconcilable gap between the two of them.

Excluding You Yingxue, the remaining option, no matter how unbelievable it is, is the most likely outcome.

This is good news for us.

This is indeed good news. As long as the police find Zhou Chenlang as a suspect, he will no longer be able to protect You Yingxue. Without Zhou Chenlang wholeheartedly helping You Yingxue, Du Yuanzhe will be able to find evidence against You Yingxue more easily.

However, Du Yuanzhe was still thinking about Zhou Chenlang's motives.

What happened that made him kill his own father?

......

Shenglin Hospital

Zhou Chenlang was transferred to this hospital yesterday, and today Jiang Chelin and He Chen came to visit him together.

He Chen leaned against the counter with his hands in his pockets and said, "If you had transferred to Shenglin Hospital earlier, you wouldn't have been entangled for so long. But the letter of understanding can also be withdrawn. You can regret it when the court session begins."

He Chen thought that Zhou Chenlang only issued the letter of forgiveness because he was annoyed by the entanglement, but when the court opens, Zhou Chenlang will inevitably attend. He can completely request to withdraw the letter of forgiveness. This is not without precedent, and Zhou Chenlang was forced to issue the letter of forgiveness, not sincerely. The court must also take this into consideration.

Zhou Chenlang has been resting for so long that his injuries have almost healed. However, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, so he cannot be discharged from the hospital yet. However, the pain caused by the concussion has disappeared.

He avoided answering He Chen's question and said, "What have you been doing recently? I've been in the hospital for such a long time, and you've only come a few times? Aren't you being a bad brother?"

He Chen immediately became depressed: "Don't mention it. My dad thinks I'm useless. I don't know what's wrong with him. He insisted on teaching me personally. Now I'm just a miserable worker. I go to work on time every day."

Zhou Chenlang smiled: "That's good. You will inherit the family business."

Speaking of family business, He Chen asked, "Have you resolved the issue of your company?"

Zhou Chenlang nodded: "They are just a few little idiots, they have been dealt with long ago."

Although he could not leave the hospital due to injuries, Zhou Chenlang had worked in the company for several years after all, and he also had his own people. Those relatives of the Zhou family who wanted to take over the company were no match for Zhou Chenlang.

Zhou Chenlang dealt with them all without showing up. Currently, Zhou Chenlang has officially become the president of Dingsheng Furniture, and his assistants come to report to him every day.

He Chen said: "People who can't see their position clearly need to be punished."

When your family business becomes big, some people will have ulterior motives.

He Chen will definitely need relatives with bad intentions in the future. He hates these people so much that he wants to kick all of them out of the company to prevent them from causing trouble for him in the future.

Jiang Chelin listened to the two people talking quietly without joining in.

Zhou Chenlang did not ignore his presence. He asked, "Che Lin, can I ask you for a favor?"

Jiang Chelin looked at him and said, "You tell me."

"You also know that the entertainment industry is full of all kinds of people. Yingxue is in danger there. It would be fine if I could protect her, but I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to protect her. Can you help me take care of her?"

"I know you all don't like Yingxue, but I still shamelessly ask you to take better care of her for my sake. If, if she makes a big mistake one day, please forgive her for the sake of our friendship over the years."

Before Jiang Chelin could speak, He Chen couldn't help but worry, "Chen Lang, do you have an incurable disease?"

These words sounded like a will.

"Get lost! You are the one who has an incurable disease."

He Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Then why did you say it like a will?"

Zhou Chenlang smiled bitterly: "I am thinking that Jiang Chelin will soften his heart and agree to my request after seeing my miserable state now."

He Chen suddenly realized and turned to look at Jiang Chelin, curious about how he would answer.

Jiang Chelin looked complicated and said, "You shouldn't have submitted that letter of apology."

It was this letter of understanding that put Zhou Chenlang in a dangerous situation.

Zhou Chenlang's expression remained unchanged, and he just said, "Just think of me as being stupid."

Jiang Chelin asked: "What did he do?"

Zhou Chenlang remained silent.

Jiang Chelin was a little annoyed: "How can I help you if you don't say anything?"

"If you really want to help me, please take good care of Yingxue for me."

Jiang Chelin's eyes were filled with anger: "It's already this late, and you're still thinking about that woman. Do you think she'll still remember you if something happens to you? I'm afraid she's eager to cut ties with you."

He Chen was confused. He knew every word of the conversation between the two people, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together: "What are you talking about?"

Zhou Chenlang said: "I hope she can draw a clear line between us, but she still wants to be implicated by me. I am sorry for her."

Jiang Chelin took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, snorted coldly, turned around and left the ward.

He Chen stared in confusion: "Chen Lang, explain to me..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Chenlang lying back on the bed, closing his eyes as if he was going to rest.

He Chen's mouth twitched, knowing that Zhou Chenlang would not be able to help him solve his doubts.

"You should have a good rest."

After saying that, he left the ward.

Hearing the door closing, Zhou Chenlang opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling of the ward, as those devilish words seemed to echo in his ears.

After Zhou Heng fell ill, he not only looked much more haggard, but his spirit also deteriorated. He became irritable and his mind was a little confused. Sometimes he couldn't even remember what he had said, which was a bit like Alzheimer's disease.

Zhou Chenlang used to think that his mother was pitiful and sad. She fell in love with a married man and worked hard to give birth to a son for him, but she did not get the proper status and even died early. She never lived a peaceful day.

But after all, it was his mother who interfered in other people's marriages. Zhou Chenlang felt sorry for his mother's hard work and was grateful for her care and love for him, but he also complained about his mother because of his illegitimate status.

But it was not until that day that Zhou Chenlang realized that he was wrong. What was tragic about his mother was not that she fell in love with Zhou Heng, but that she gave birth to him.

It was my existence that bound her tightly!

Zhou Chenlang closed his eyes in pain.

Because Xia Yiyao was injured while giving birth to Xia Ningmi, she decided not to have any more children. However, Zhou Heng wanted a son, and since Xia Yiyao refused to give him one, he would find someone else to have one.

Zhou Chenlang's mother was a candidate he carefully selected. She had a gentle personality and was timid and cowardly. Such a person was easy to control and would not cause him any trouble.

Zhou Heng was a man of deep scheming. He deliberately concealed his married status at the beginning. He knew that she was a very traditional woman who believed in being faithful to one man, so he had no intention of pursuing her sincerely. Instead, he had sex with her by despicable means.

Zhou Chenlang once blamed his mother for being too cowardly, suspecting that she was reluctant to leave Zhou Heng for the sake of glory and wealth.

It was not until Zhou Heng said it himself that he realized that Zhou Heng had been using himself to threaten his mother. If Zhou Chenlang had not been born, she would not have endured the shame of being an unnamed third party. The woman who was used to being submissive gave all her love to her son.

Everyone has the right to blame her, except Zhou Chenlang.

Zhou Heng had planned very well. He wanted to outlast Old Master Xia and then steal the Xia Group with the help of Xia's son-in-law's identity. So before everything was successful, Zhou Chenlang and his mother could not be exposed.

Zhou Heng had planned everything carefully. He knew that with Zhou Chenlang's mother's cowardly nature, she would never dare to cause trouble at the Xia family.

If there hadn't been that car accident, everything would have gone according to Zhou Heng's plan, because at that time Mr. Xia had already agreed to let Zhou Heng join the company.

Zhou Chenlang thought about how Zhou Heng had kept a secret from him for so many years, but told everything because of an illness. He couldn't help but sneer. Even God was not on Zhou Heng's side, and his plans would always be ruined for some reason.

......

After You Yingxue received a call from Zhou Chenlang asking for a meeting, she asked for leave from the director and came to Shenglin Hospital that afternoon.

When she walked into the ward, Zhou Chenlang was sitting on the bed looking at the little bird sitting on the branch outside.

"Everything is coming back to life. Spring has arrived. The breath of life is everywhere."

You Yingxue said softly, "If you get bored staying in the ward, I'll go out for a walk with you."

"Yingxue, I have already written a letter of apology."

You Yingxue's expression changed slightly: "Chen Lang, I know you are soft-hearted, but the driver hurt my uncle after all, you......"

"Not him."

You Yingxue was silent.

In fact, she had known about Zhou Chenlang's letter of forgiveness a long time ago. You Yingxue could be said to be the person who knew Zhou Chenlang best. No matter how bad his relationship with Zhou Heng was, he still had a place for Zhou Heng in his heart, and it was absolutely impossible for him to write a letter of forgiveness.

Now that the impossible has become possible, it means there is another reason for the car accident.

Zhou Chenlang said: "Yingxue, I'm sorry, I have implicated you, but you can announce to the public that you have broken up with me a long time ago. Netizens are forgetful, and after a few years, everyone will forget about it."

"I have asked Che Lin to protect you. As long as he is with you, you will be fine."

"But Yingxue, Wei Lingling is Che Lin's enemy. No matter what you want to do, don't provoke Wei Lingling."

You Yingxue asked softly: "Why do you do this?"

Zhou Chenlang did not answer, but said: "Yingxue, I am actually still a coward. I could have driven my car into the guardrail and caused the accident without the presence of a driver. However, the traces were too obvious and I would definitely not be able to hide it from the police. I still wanted to get away with it, so I arranged for a driver."

"Then why write a letter of apology?"

Zhou Chenlang smiled bitterly, "Because I am an ordinary person, I am selfish but I cannot be completely selfish. The driver has a wife and two children waiting for him to go home. He helped me with the job in order to treat his children's illness. I have thought a lot during this period of time. Maybe my conscience has come to me. I am alone and it doesn't matter whether I go to jail or not. I will not destroy other people's happy families."

You Yingxue looked at him: "A lone man? Then what am I?"

Zhou Chenlang said softly: "Yingxue, I have always known that you don't love me."

You Yingxue was shocked and opened her mouth to say something but gave up.

Zhou Chenlang said: "Yingxue, I don't mind that you don't love me, nor do I mind that you use me. I am willing to do everything for you. He Chen always says that I am stupid, but for me, loving someone does not necessarily mean getting the same love in return. I just want to love you well, and you have already given me a warm home, so I am very satisfied."

He doesn't need You Yingxue to love him. He just wants someone to prepare a meal for him when he gets home from get off work. There are only the two of them in this home, warm and happy.

You Yingxue didn't expect Zhou Chenlang to think this way. She always thought that Zhou Chenlang lacked love, so she always tried her best to express her love for him. Now she realized that he knew everything but just didn't expose her.

You Yingxue was in a complicated mood. She put away her usual pretense of gentleness and asked, "Why do you love me?"

From the first day they were together, she felt that their relationship would not last long. It was obvious that a combination of a rich young man and a female star would not be a long-term combination.

After hearing what Zhou Chenlang said today, what she wanted to know most was why Zhou Chenlang loved her. Since he knew that she had been pretending from the beginning, why did he still love her?

Zhou Chenlang said: "Maybe it's a dish, maybe it's because you are smart, or maybe it's because you are beautiful. Love is love, there is no need for so many reasons. At that moment, my heart was moved and I fell in love."

Zhou Chenlang has been more thoughtful than others since he was a child, but he hides it very well. People who know him praise him for being optimistic and cheerful. He is used to living with a mask on. Even when he is with You Yingxue, he always wears a mask, but You Yingxue also wears a mask.

The day they first met, he saw the ambition in You Yingxue's eyes, and he felt that there was no one more suitable for him than You Yingxue.

He knew very well that as long as he could satisfy You Yingxue's ambition, she would always stay by his side.

Isn't this more stable than mutual love?

You Yingxue lowered her eyes and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhou Chenlang said, "I originally promised to treat the driver's child after the impact of this incident has passed. Now I can no longer do it. I hope you can help me fulfill my promise."

"Okay. Anything else?"

Zhou Chenlang said: "I will transfer the company's shares to your name. I hope you can help me take care of it. I have some business skills. If you are willing to use me, I can help you manage the company when I come out."

You Yingxue asked, "Are you planning to surrender?"

Zhou Chenlang nodded: "You can get a reduced sentence if you turn yourself in."

Anyway, the police will find him sooner or later, so it’s better to surrender in advance.

Zhou Chenlang spoke very easily, without any feeling that he was going to jail.

You Yingxue didn't say anything else, and silence suddenly fell between the two of them.

Zhou Chenlang said: "I can't hide the fact that I killed my father and went to jail. Do you hate me for getting you into trouble?"

You Yingxue finally couldn't help but ask, "He will die in five years, why do you have to do it?"

Zhou Chenlang said softly: "I can't wait for five years. He should go and confess to my mother now. I have never been filial to my mother for a single day. This is the only thing I can do."

"Putting yourself in jail is filial piety? If your mother knew, she would probably scold you for being unfilial."

It was the first time that You Yingxue spoke to him in a sarcastic tone.

Zhou Chenlang found it quite interesting and said with regret: "If I had confessed to you earlier, I should have been able to see more of you."

You Yingxue frowned. Is this the time to pay attention to these things?

Zhou Chenlang said: "I actually care a lot about my illegitimate status, so I have complained to my mother many times in my heart. Rather than being filial, I am atonement."

You Yingxue thought of the marks of self-mutilation on Zhou Chenlang's body and could no longer ask anything else.

The word "atonement" explains everything.

......

Just as Du Yuanzhe decided to investigate Zhou Heng's car accident, he learned that Zhou Chenlang had surrendered himself.

The source of the news is still Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan said: "I really didn't expect Zhou Chenlang to do something like hiring someone to kill his father. This guy seems to have a good temper, but he turns out to be a ruthless person."

Du Yuanzhe was silent for a while, then asked, "What's next?"

"What can happen next? Just wait for the court to start. Zhou Chenlang turned himself in, so he can get a reduced sentence. If he finds a good lawyer to defend him, he will probably be sentenced to ten years at most. He is only in his twenties, so he will be young enough to be released in ten years."

Du Yuanzhe heard Lu Xuan's words and said, "You seem to hope that Zhou Chenlang will give a lighter sentence?"

Lu Xuan said, "Well, we all know who Zhou Heng is. It's impossible for Zhou Chenlang to hire someone to kill his father for no reason. I guess Zhou Heng must have done something that angered the heavens and the people. It's a pity for Zhou Chenlang."

Although killing is a very evil thing, people are human beings and everyone has their own subjective opinions.

When the deceased is not a good person, the murderer is pitied.

Du Yuanzhe thought again about Zhou Chenlang's letter of forgiveness, and felt a little complicated.

Although the law is long and there is no loophole, even if Zhou Chenlang did not submit the letter of apology, the police might still find him. However, it is undeniable that once the letter of apology was submitted, Zhou Chenlang's suspicion increased greatly, which did him no good at all.

Zhou Chenlang knew that it would be disadvantageous to him, but he still did it. It can be seen that he had already thought about surrendering himself.

Du Yuanzhe and Lu Xuan had similar ideas. Du Yuanzhe felt it was not worth it to sacrifice himself for someone like Zhou Heng.
