hunger
The assistant stood upright by the side, his hands hanging by his side trembling slightly due to anxiety, but he controlled the movement within a certain range for fear of being noticed by the person in front of him.
From the moment she walked into the office, the person at the desk was flipping through documents, his eyes never shifting and he didn't give any further instructions.
After reading the last page of the document, Zhou Qiting placed it flat on the table, picked up the pen beside him, and finally looked up.
"There's been no progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?"
"Mr. Zhou, I..." Although he had expected this, the assistant still avoided looking at the man in front of him because he felt guilty, and he did not dare to look directly at him.
"Is it that you haven't found it, or that you have found it but won't let me know?" Zhou Yiting heard the hesitant answer, but his hand didn't stop signing and he asked the question in a flat voice, the answer to which he already had in his mind.
The assistant's palms sweated upon hearing this, and he explained in a low voice, "It's really because the Investigation Bureau refused to cooperate..."
"Forget it, just get out."
Zhou Qiting handed the document over, motioning her to give it to the secretary waiting outside the door, and said in a calm tone, "Don't call me President Zhou anymore."
After the assistant closed the door helplessly, Zhou Qiting sent a message to the real CEO Zhou: "Mom, is there anything else you don't want me to know?"
It was expected that the previous private investigation would yield no results. But this time, she specifically asked her assistant to go to the Investigation Bureau on Zhou's behalf to retrieve relevant information, but still found nothing. She knew that some force majeure was preventing her from learning more about the situation.
Zhou Qiting later watched the original version of the censored video. Apart from the wrongly beat melody, she couldn't see any more traces of her old friend in the person who was deliberately disguising himself.
Now her mother's attitude made her certain that the evildoer in the video was the girl with the beautiful golden eyes.
This "good friend" who taught him the evil of human nature through deception for the first time, indeed grew up to be a horrible appearance due to the evil of human nature.
Zhou Min.
Zhou Qiting repeated the name silently over and over again, the smile on his lips deepening, but his eyes remained calm.
It seems that when we meet again, I will have a legitimate reason to take revenge on you.
-
In May, the afternoon sun in City G is not too scorching.
The building in front of us has a curtain wall made of a mixture of glass and metal. It looks dazzling from a distance and transparent from a close distance. When you look up from below, you can see busy figures inside.
Zhou Min was not afraid of the dazzling diffuse light. He counted up one by one until his eyes became sore. Then he withdrew his gaze expressionlessly and walked towards the Zhou Group building.
Before stepping into the vague boundary that isolated him from the heat, Zhou Min rubbed his face with his right hand, wiping away any emotions that might overflow, and then walked into the air-conditioned door.
My leader, who has been almost as quiet as a dead person since I joined the company, suddenly came back to life today and asked me to come to the Zhou Group headquarters to deliver documents. It’s really hard to guess what the reason is.
"It's just that my phone was turned off and I didn't reply to the message in time."
Zhou Min muttered softly and stood there for a while after entering the room. She saw a man in a suit and tie hurriedly walking towards her. Before the man could speak, she stuffed the documents in her hand into the man's arms, turned around and left.
"Madam! Wait a moment!" The person behind her called Zhou Min anxiously.
Out of sympathy for the humble worker, Zhou Min stopped and turned around to ask kindly, "What else?"
The man with a straight back said hurriedly, "Mr. Zhou wants to see you. Please follow me."
Zhou Min resigned herself to her fate and walked side by side with the man into the lobby. They took the elevator to an office on the upper floor. Without hesitation, the man opened the door considerately and raised his hand to invite her in.
The office was very large, not the kind that could be seen at a glance. When Zhou Min walked in and looked up, he realized that the person sitting inside was not Zhou Qiting.
Shocked, she turned her head and looked at the person who led her in with complicated eyes.
Isn't it better to call him Chairman Zhou? Calling him Mr. Zhou will only lead to misunderstandings!
"The president is also the general manager." Seeing Zhou Min's surprise, the bodyguard smiled slightly, took a step back, closed the door, took out a gun from the gun bag inside his suit, and pressed it against Zhou Min's lower back.
In an instant, he understood his current situation. Zhou Min frowned and looked back at the woman sitting in the middle of the office.
"What is your purpose in approaching Qi Ting?" Zhou Xihe went straight to the point.
"No matter what the purpose is, I will not have a good ending anyway, right?" The presence of the gun in the back was so strong that Zhou Min stopped pretending and directly assumed the worst malice towards Chairman Zhou.
Even in the face of such questioning, Zhou Xihe maintained a smile on his face and said calmly, "Fake identity, fake face, even these eyes are fake. It's hard for me not to think that you want to hurt Qi Ting."
Fake eyes? That's a novel idea. Hearing this, Zhou Min calmed down completely. His dark brown eyes looked deeply at Zhou Xihe and sneered, "If that's the case, why didn't you do it in private? Did you call me up here just to watch me die in front of you?"
Zhou Min almost dared to conclude that Zhou Xihe had not yet found out her true identity, and the questions he asked were just to confuse her so that he could ask something from her.
The most likely scenario is that Zhou Xihe sent someone to take a photo of her, scan and read her iris and facial information, and wanted to retrieve her relevant information through the Investigation Bureau but found nothing. He inferred that she was wearing cosmetic contact lenses and had done some disguise.
As for what Zhou Xihe's next plan would be after the interrogation failed, Zhou Min had already roughly guessed it.
Do you want her hair with follicles? Or her blood? Or some part of her body?
There are only a few ways to confirm one's identity, and Zhou Min doesn't need to think about it too much. He has already foreseen all possible outcomes for himself.
Without waiting for Zhou Xihe to answer, Zhou Min elbowed the person behind him, causing the bodyguard to pause for a moment. He then immediately twisted his waist to avoid the muzzle of the gun and grabbed her wrist and twisted it.
Zhou Min didn't get the gun as expected, but he didn't dwell on it. He took advantage of the gap from the bodyguard's knee attack to turn around and move to her back. After wrapping his arms around her neck, he tightened his hands and pressed his upper body forward.
The incident happened suddenly. Zhou Xihe, who had judged Zhou Min's strength by his appearance, did not panic at all. He calmly pressed the call button of the landline.
When the only bodyguard in the room was almost unconscious after being strangled by Zhou Min, there was a sudden sound of a door opening behind Zhou Min, followed by the sound of high heels hitting the ground.
Zhou Qiting, who was originally unhappy, raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the scene.
interesting.
"It's almost time to get up." Zhou Qiting looked down at Zhou Min, who was still tightly wrapped around the bodyguard's back, with a pleasant expression. Then he looked up at Zhou Xihe and said helplessly, "Mom..."
"Oh." After hearing the first half of the sentence, Zhou Min hesitated for a moment, but finally let go of her hand. After all, strangling a bodyguard unconscious couldn't guarantee that she could escape safely, so it was better to listen to the eldest lady's words.
When she stood up, she did not forget to pick up the gun that fell from the bodyguard's hand. She weighed it in her hand and found that the weight was wrong. She took out the magazine and saw that there was not a single bullet in it.
Cheating me? Zhou Min's gaze flickered between the mother and daughter, and he felt that not only were their features similar, but their playful nature was also inherited from the same source.
Zhou Min began to feel sorry for the bodyguard who was hit by her elbow and fell to the ground.
"Qiting, be careful of danger." Be careful of what is in front of you and what is hidden.
After saying this, Zhou Xihe slowly pressed the speakerphone button on the already connected landline and ordered, "Send two people over, someone has fainted."
Zhou Qiting didn't say anything. He stared carefully at the expression of the person who had just gotten up and was tidying up his clothes. After confirming that the puppy had not suffered any injustice, he turned his head to respond to Zhou Xihe.
"I know."
Ah? Is it really dangerous? Do you really know? Danger Zhou Min felt that he was despised by the mother and daughter, and said depressedly: "Let me go, or I will not be polite."
Zhou Min, who had no weapons on him except for the gun without bullets, made such harsh remarks without any confidence.
"Remember what your mother said." Zhou Xihe, who felt she owed him for many years, had no idea what to do with her daughter. After giving her instructions again, she waved her hand to signal her to take the person away.
On the way, Zhou Min became more and more angry. Even when Zhou Qiting took his hand and took him back to her office, Zhou Min still had a stern face, and his whole body exuded an aura of someone who was not to be messed with.
But there are people who just like to mess with her.
Zhou Yiting looked at the angry person in front of her, smiled, released her hand on Zhou Min's wrist, and pinched her cheek.
Before Zhou Min could react, Zhou Qiting spoke with concern: "What did my mother say to you?"
What else can you say, besides unpleasant words, would you say something nice like "I'll give you 10 million and leave my daughter immediately"?
Zhou Min pouted angrily and turned his head away to indicate that he didn't want to talk to Chairman Zhou's daughter.
The puppy is furious again.
Zhou Qiting put his soft body close to hers, and wrapped his arms around her neck. His lips were almost touching her earlobe, and he said softly, "Tell me, okay?"
As the air brushed past his earlobe, Zhou Min immediately felt a tingling sensation rising from behind his ear, spreading to his flesh and blood, shaking his soul.
The unfamiliar feeling of hunger once again scratched at her from the inside out, clamoring to break out of her body, wanting to wrap around the person in front of her, swallow him up, and merge him into her body.
Zhou Min couldn't help swallowing, trying in vain to relieve the discomfort in his body.
She turned her head, creating some distance, and then summarized, "She said my identity was fake and suspected I had bad intentions towards you."
Zhou Min didn't mention the matter of the eyes. It would be best if Zhou Qiting found out later. Once she knew that she was pretending to be a girl every day, it would only be a matter of time before she found out that she never took off her colored contact lenses even when she slept.
Slightly cool fingers stroked her throat, touched her cheek, pinched Zhou Min's chin, and straightened her face little by little.
Their eyes met, and seeing the lingering desire in her eyes, Zhou Qiting's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved in an intriguing arc.
"It's indeed a conspiracy."
