Mu Lin didn't expect Lu Yunxiao to be so urgent. He was stunned for a moment and murmured, "So urgent?"
Lu Yunxiao hummed, "If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid she'll poke a hole in the sky again."
Mu Lin: "..."
Sure enough, it has to be Mrs. Lu from their family. She is so amazing that she can make Mr. Lu so worried.
Mu Lin gloated over his misfortune, then replied seriously, "Yes, Mr. Lu, I'll go and urge them to be on duty on time at 2 o'clock."
"Well, let them hide well and don't be discovered."
…
When Bai You woke up, Lu Yunxiao was gone.
She smoothed her messy hair with her hand, looked at the time, then fumbled for her cell phone from the bedside table and called Tang Feng.
"How are you?!"
The call was answered almost instantly. As soon as she dialed, the phone was picked up. Tang Feng asked about her condition anxiously.
Bai You smiled and said, "You have such fast news, you should know my situation."
Tang Feng was silent for a moment, then he said in a low voice: "I know, the media has reported it, but that was after all heard from others. I still want to hear it from you in person."
Tell me in person that you are safe.
Bai You smiled and said heartlessly: "Don't worry, I'm fine. The police have submitted evidence. I'm safe for the time being."
"That's good, that's good."
Come to think of it, how could she be in bad condition? With Lu Yunxiao protecting her, even if she was in bad condition, how bad could it be?
"Then why are you looking for me?"
"Oh, I wanted to ask you, do you know where Zhou Yan has been recently? Calculating the time, I haven't heard from him for a month. He used to be like a headless fly, eager to hang around me every day, but he's never disappeared for such a long time like now. Did something happen to him?"
Tang Feng looked lonely for a moment. It turned out that she was looking for him because she really had something to do. It was just like what he said at the beginning: don't contact him unless there is something else. She really listened to him.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his attitude, and then said, "He's fine. What happened was a worker at a factory over there deliberately causing trouble. He was transferred down as a manager to handle the matter. He must have been entangled by someone, so he hasn't been able to get away for over a month."
What a coincidence?
From the last charity dinner to this car accident, the old man was obviously speeding up to get rid of her. I'm afraid the reason why he sped up was Zhou Yan.
After all, a factory that takes more than a month to process something is already a long battle line. It's impossible for him to stay there for another month, so he can only use this month to clean her up.
So what was that old man thinking? On the one hand, he despised Zhou Yan and looked down on him, but on the other, he was wary of him in every way, even choosing to send him away whenever he had to deal with her. Logically, he shouldn't care about Zhou Yan's opinions at all. Could it be that he had some shameful secret that Zhou Yan had mastered? That was why he was so eager to deal with her.
After dealing with her, the next step would be Zhou Yan, and then it would be natural to let that kid take the position. This old man is so cruel and ruthless that he really doesn't recognize his relatives. After all, he is his grandson. Even if this grandson is not favored by him, he still has the blood of their Zhou family in his bones and carries the Zhou family name on his body. He is so cruel and ruthless that he doesn't care about any feelings.
Bai You nodded and said to Tang Feng: "Okay, I understand. Thank you. Then you can go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you anymore."
After Bai You finished speaking, he wanted to hang up the phone, but Tang Feng stopped him anxiously.
"Xiao Xi!"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Tang Feng on the other end of the phone tightened his fingers again and again, and finally said: "Do you still remember, after this matter is over, you have to give me an answer."
Bai You couldn't help but laugh. "Is the answer so important to you? Like I said, no matter who I am, the relationship between us won't change. Why are you so obsessed with that so-called answer?"
It was important, of course it was. How could it not be important? He'd spent three years tossing and turning, chasing that answer. He'd trapped himself in that so-called answer, trapped in that car accident. Now, the only thing holding him together was that answer. That answer was everything he'd been thinking about for the past three years. Regardless of the outcome, good or bad, it was an explanation to him.
Tang Feng finally said: "You just need to remember that you promised me."
Bai You smiled and didn't take it seriously. Since he wanted to know, she would just tell him.
Lu Yunxiao and Mu Sen already knew about it, so it didn't matter if he was the only one involved.
"Okay, I promise you, I will tell you the truth after this matter is completely over."
Tang Feng didn't say anything, simply silently hanging up the phone and staring at the now black screen. He remained unaware for a long time, feeling a sense of emptiness within him. A cool breeze blew relentlessly, directionless and endless, plunging him into darkness, with not a single ray of sunlight filtering through. It felt like the past three years of his life; in the end, it was probably just a joke.
Mr. Zhou looked at the news in the newspaper and angrily smashed the teacup in his hand.
He knocked the ground hard with his cane. The few servants left in the house looked at each other, then turned around and left in tacit agreement.
This old man had a bad temper, and it wasn't just one or two days old. When he could control himself, it was okay, at most he'd throw furniture and smash a cup. But when he lost control, he couldn't breathe and probably needed medicine. When he recovered, he would attack the servants with personal insults. The words of an old man were so filthy that no one dared to believe that a man in his 70s could say such words.
