The person before him was not only his godfather, but his behind-the-scenes identity was no less than that of Mr. Jiu of Dark Night Pavilion and Qianye of Phoenix Pavilion.
If he is willing to take action.
Who does Zhou Jingming even count for!
The middle-aged man sneered, "Zhou Jingming is Mr. Jiu."
"What did you say?" Shi Yao asked, his face filled with disbelief.
“He has been hiding his identity in Kyoto, but he is actually the leader of the Dark Night Pavilion. Once he sets his sights on you, you won’t survive.”
The truth has been hidden for so many years, there is no need to keep it hidden any longer.
Shi Yao is too extreme and competitive. If we continue to let him remain obstinate, he will inevitably get into big trouble sooner or later.
"That's impossible, I don't believe it."
Zhou Jingming is clearly a spoiled young master.
How could he possibly be the head of the Dark Night Pavilion?
The middle-aged man looked at him with a look of disappointment and anger. "Believe it or not, all those people outside are elites from the Dark Night Pavilion. If you want to live, don't act on your own again."
After saying that, the man snorted coldly and left.
Shi Yao sat weakly on the ground.
No wonder Zhou Jingming was able to snatch Lanmei's land back then.
It turns out that the Zhou family's influence wasn't involved.
It is the Dark Night Pavilion.
No wonder his godfather forbade him from getting involved with Zhou Jingming.
They were afraid he would die.
He was too naive; he was deceived for so many years.
Meanwhile, Zhou Jingming was still active in the woods.
News came from Yuan Shen's side that no suspicious persons had been found.
We didn't find any places where people were.
It seems so.
The enemy's hiding place was well concealed.
It's really not going to be easy to find their hideout anytime soon.
Zhou Jingming had other things to attend to, so he instructed Yuan Shen to continue sending people to guard the area, and then drove away from Longtan Lake.
On the way, he received a call from Shen Xian, asking him to bring Su Xi home for dinner.
"No matter how busy you are, you must come back tonight. Your sister has returned to China."
Shen Xian's tone on the phone was resolute.
Zhou Jingming was taken aback. "Why did you come back all of a sudden?"
"What? She's your sister, so she can't come back to her own home?" Shen Xian said with a hint of anger. "Mom doesn't know what kind of conflict you two had back then, but so many years have passed, it's time to make up."
The brother and sister originally had a good relationship.
One day, her daughter suddenly came to her crying, saying she wanted to study abroad.
No matter how Shen Xian asked her why, she stubbornly refused to tell her.
When asked, Zhou Jingming remained silent, harboring deep resentment.
To this day, Shen Xian still doesn't know what happened.
When their daughter returned home after finishing her studies, they thought Zhou Jingming had long forgotten the unpleasantness of the past, but to their surprise, his attitude was still so indifferent.
"If she can control her bad temper, I can let bygones be bygones," Zhou Jingming said coldly.
Shen Xian was busy speaking up for her daughter, "Jing'er has matured and become much more well-behaved these past few years abroad. She certainly won't be as spoiled and willful as before. You're her older brother, so give her a chance."
"Let's see how she performs."
"Then, could you go to the airport to pick her up and take her home? Mom and Dad are still out and can't make it in time, she'll be getting off the plane soon."
Zhou Jingming's eyes were deep, and before he could speak, Shen Xian added, "Then it's settled. Mom has something to attend to, so I'll hang up now..."
"She can take a taxi home..."
Before Zhou Jingming could finish speaking, the microphone went dead.
He tossed his phone aside, but ultimately couldn't bear to leave it behind and turned back to head to the airport.
Half an hour later.
The luxury car slowly came to a stop at the airport entrance.
From a distance, Zhou Jingming saw a girl walking out of the airport terminal.
With fiery red short hair, a crop top paired with super short and cool shorts, and exaggerated earrings, she was extremely flamboyant.
"elder brother!"
Zhou Jing was visibly surprised when she saw his car.
But she quickly recovered and waved at him.
Zhou Jingming opened the car door and got out, walking towards her and taking her luggage. "You know where you live, right? Can't you just take a taxi?"
Zhou Jing pursed her lips, "I haven't been back to China for so many years, I really have forgotten."
"Mom also said you've changed a lot in the past few years, but I think you're still the same old person." Zhou Jingming didn't give a good answer.
Her outfit was even sexier than before.
Is this how a typical heiress from a prestigious family should dress?
And what kind of makeup is this?
Who are you trying to scare by running out in broad daylight?
His attitude made Zhou Jing uncomfortable. "You just have a problem with me. No matter what I do, I can't meet your standards."
Oh, no, you look down on all the women in the world, only Su Xi is the most perfect and proper goddess in your heart.
"You dare mention her!"
Zhou Jingming's handsome face suddenly darkened.
Zhou Jing was scolded, and her eyes reddened with grievance. "So what if I mentioned it? If she hadn't lost Sister Su Rou back then, she wouldn't have been abused by the Su family. I think she brought it on herself and deserves it."
With a 'snap'.
Zhou Jingming slapped Zhou Jing hard across the face. "I said, Su Rou's disappearance has nothing to do with her. Su Rou used her cunning to harm herself. What does it have to do with Xi'er?"
“If the Su family thinks it’s her fault, then it’s her fault. Who are you to her? Why should everyone believe what you say?” Zhou Jing covered her burning face, tears streaming down her cheeks.
So many years have passed.
Su Xi remains a bottom line that Zhou Jingming cannot mention.
Zhou Jing just couldn't understand what was so good about Su Xi.
As for Zhou Jingming protecting her for so many years.
“She is now my wife, your sister-in-law. Don’t you dare be so presumptuous,” Zhou Jingming rebuked sternly.
"What did you say?"
Zhou Jing was stunned. "You married her? Didn't she like Lin Ye?"
In her memory, Su Xi always followed Lin Ye around.
The two were as close as siblings.
On the contrary, Zhou Jingming was shunned, and Su Xi never even glanced at him.
But now...
Did Su Xi give up Lin Ye and marry her brother instead?
What exactly happened to her during all these years she was away from China?
Zhou Jingming solemnly declared, "The person she loves has always been me. What does Guan Lin have to do with it?"
"But before, she was clearly always with Lin Ye..."
"Enough!"
Zhou Jingming was too lazy to waste words with her. "I don't want to hear another word from you that insults Su Xi. Otherwise, if I could send you abroad for three years back then, I can make sure you can never come back to China for the rest of your life."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jing lost control of her emotions, "What's so good about Su Xi that you're so protective of her? You can even be so heartless towards your own sister."
"She's better than you in every way."
Zhou Jingming let go of her hand and returned the luggage to her. "I have something to do. I'll take a taxi home myself."
"Brother, you can't leave me."
Zhou Jing was furious that even though he had come, he was going to abandon her again because of a disagreement. She bit her lip and stomped her feet in anger.
Zhou Jingming showed no pity whatsoever. After getting into the car, he stepped on the gas, and the car sped forward.
Watching helplessly as her car merged into the traffic, Zhou Jing angrily threw her suitcase on the ground.
Five years ago, because she sided with Su Rou and said a few bad things about Su Xi, Zhou Jingming flew into a rage and forced her to leave Kyoto.
She was also warned not to tell her family a single word of the truth.
Zhou Jing had been afraid of her older brother since she was a child. If he said one thing, she would never dare to say another.
There was nothing I could do but follow his arrangements and continue studying abroad.
It's been three years.
This older brother hasn't changed at all.
They protected Su Xi like a precious treasure.
He didn't treat her, his younger sister, well.
Zhou Jing was extremely unwilling to accept this.
She is clearly the Zhou family's young lady, while Su Xi is a sinner despised by the Su family. Why does she deserve her brother's favor?
I'm back this time.
She was determined to make Su Xi look good.
