Chapter 147 Confession

The next morning, Xu Ge's phone received several missed calls.

Some are from Linda, but more are from Zhou Zimo.

She sat up and called Linda back.

"Xu Ge?"

"Yes, it's me."

Linda was visibly relieved when she heard her voice, "Thank God, you're okay."

"Well, how are you?"

"I'm in the hospital and I'm fine now. By the way, how did you get rescued?"

Xu Ge turned his head to look at the weather outside the window. It was gloomy, without a trace of sunshine.

"I won't tell you the details of the process."

Linda was silent on the phone for a long time before she said, "He gave me a check."

Xu Ge leaned against the headboard and smoothed his messy hair. "Well, you deserve it."

"Yes, you are right, so I accepted it. I also plan to study abroad after I recover."

"That's fine. I wish you all the best."

"Xu Ge, thank you. Although I don't know what you are going to do, I wish you all the best."

"Thanks."

Xu Ge called Zhou Zimo back only after finishing the call with Linda.

"Hello, Ge'er?"

Listening to Zhou Zimo's hoarse voice, Xu Ge was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll wait for you at the coffee shop near the company."

The incident last night was resolved unusually quietly, without even a word leaking out.

Xu Ge naturally guessed this ending.

He wanted to drag Zhou Zimo down and find out whether he was really clean or not, or he had to make a breakthrough from Yu Bo.

An hour later, Zhou Zimo's face looked pale and not very good, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had not slept all night. After seeing Xu Ge, he couldn't take his eyes off him.

The two looked at each other, neither of them spoke, and they seemed not to know how to start.

Xu Ge looked away first, picked up his coffee and took a sip. "Since you don't know how to start, then I'll ask the questions and you answer them, okay?"

Zhou Zimo's throat rolled, but he could only nod, "Okay, ask."

"The man last night was called Yu Bo?"

Zhou Zimo nodded, "Yes."

"What's your relationship?"

Zhou Zimo looked up at her with a complicated expression, and clenched his fists tightly on the table.

Xu Ge waited quietly. After about two minutes without him speaking, she spoke softly.

"You don't have to answer, and I won't ask again."

Zhou Zimo's eyes flickered, and he understood what she meant. She would not ask any more questions, and their relationship would soon end here.

But how could he bear to do that?

So he picked up the water glass and drank half of it before he said in a hoarse voice: "I met him through a friend. I needed his help to solve some work problems, but then I got drunk again, and I don't know why I told him..."

At this point, Zhou Zimo seemed to be a little embarrassed to speak. The disgust on his face and in his eyes did not seem fake, he really felt disgusted.

"I had sex with him, and only afterwards did I find out that he actually liked men. I thought about cutting off contact with him, but he actually took a video of that night..."

Xu Ge thought that this was the case, so even if he hated and loathed Yu Bo, he couldn't get rid of him because he had the leverage over him.

It is hard to imagine that if the video of the two of them making out were to leak, it would cause such a shocking scandal.

But it was enough to destroy him.

After all, if you get involved with a madman like that, you will lose a lot of skin if you want to tear him off.

Xu Ge nodded calmly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, one more question. Who is Yao Mengfan?"

Zhou Zimo's whole body froze. He looked at her calm face and was unable to speak. It seemed that he was thinking about how to start the conversation.

Xu Ge was not in a hurry and was willing to give her time.

She didn't know what she was thinking at the moment?

Did Zhou Zimo know about Yao Mengfan's death from the beginning, or did he find out only later?

She didn't know which outcome she preferred.

But the only thing that cannot be changed is Yao Mengfan's result.

Bo Ren was not killed, yet he died because of him.

Zhou Zimo raised his hand and pulled his hair, a hint of confusion and pain flashed in his eyes.

"She's my ex-girlfriend..."

Xu Ge's eyes moved slightly. Was he ready to tell her the truth?

After he opened his mouth, it seemed that he could say the rest as well. He leaned weakly on the seat and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I wasn't with her long, only a few months, and she fell in love with me at first sight. I..."

Having said that, Zhou Zimo suddenly looked up at her, as if he was a little embarrassed to speak.

"She was only nineteen years old. It was my first time dating a girl so young. I shouldn't have touched her, but she chased me like a fire, burning me..."

Xu Ge pulled the corner of his lips, "You couldn't resist the temptation, right?"

Zhou Zimo frowned and shook his head. "Yes, I couldn't resist the temptation. Telling this may make you look down on me, or even despise me, but I'm with her because she looks a bit like you."

Xu Ge suddenly looked up at him with a sharp gaze, "What did you say?"

Zhou Zimo pulled the corner of his lips in self-deprecation, "The reason I am with her is because she looks a bit like you. I am with other women.

We were together just to get what we needed, but I treated her like my girlfriend for a few months. If it weren’t for…”

"Why?"

Zhou Zimo took a deep breath, "Because she's pregnant..."

"Then what?"

"I wanted her to have an abortion, but she ran away. I searched for her for a long time and couldn't find her. Suddenly one day I received a call and they told me she had been murdered abroad..."

Xu Ge stared at his expression seriously and solemnly, as if trying to see if he was lying.

But he clearly appeared in Paris three days before Yao Mengfan was murdered.

So, he is lying.

"They said there was a home invasion and she and her unborn baby didn't escape."

Xu Ge hit the nail on the head when he heard this: "What does that have to do with Yu Bo? Why did he deliberately mention Yao Mengfan's name yesterday, and even said that he wanted me to end up like her? Don't lie to me, I'm not stupid, I have the ability to think normally, Zhou Zimo!"

Zhou Zimo's face was gloomy. He raised his hands to cover his face. "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I only let it slip later."

"Since you knew it was Yu Bo who killed Yao Mengfan, why didn't you call the police?"

Zhou Zimo looked up at her with a painful expression and shook his head, "How can I call the police? I can't get involved in this kind of thing. Besides, Yu Bo did help me do a lot of things. I..."

"You were worried about getting yourself implicated, so you kept silent. Even though you knew Yao Mengfan was murdered, you still chose to conceal it?"

Zhou Zimo nodded in acknowledgment, "Even if I told her, Xiao Meng wouldn't be able to come back. After all, I owe her. I'm sorry for him. If it weren't for me, that lunatic Yu Bo wouldn't have been so heartless as to harm her."
