Did she hear all the conversation just now?

Everyone was panicked for a moment, afraid that Zhou Liwan would remember the sad things in the past.

Zhou Liwan looked around soothingly, then walked up to Zhou Qingya with a smile and said, "What qualifications do you, a mistress who got promoted to a high position, have to compete with me? My mother is the only daughter of the Jiang family, and she is my father's legal wife! And your mother? She is just a middle-aged prostitute who got this position by selling her body to my father. You didn't do this because you both suffered so much, did you? Let me tell you, do you think your father would take your mother into the Zhou family without my consent?"

Zhou Qingya didn’t know that Zhou Li would suddenly show up at the party. Everyone told her that she had taken a day off and would not come!

Zhou Qingya felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and she stammered, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

Zhou Liwan sat on the desk next to him with a smile, tilting his head to look at Zhou Qingya: "You drove the cars at the door, didn't you? You must have swiped a lot of cards to support today's event? Aren't you afraid that your father will call you to hold you accountable?"

Zhou Qingya felt guilty when her thoughts were revealed. Indeed, Zhou's father didn't know that he had taken so many cars, and if he knew that he had spent so much money, he would definitely act like the head of the family and talk endlessly.

I went to the auction house a few days ago and was scolded by him for a long time. Fortunately, my cousin Zhou Boyan said a lot of words for me.

Everyone's expressions were very surprised at the time, as if they had not expected that their cousin, who usually kept silent, would actually speak up for them.

So I still have a certain charm.

"Why aren't you talking?" Zhou Liwan took out a pencil from the pen holder and played with it.

Zhou Qingya's face was gloomy and extremely dark.

She looked around, holding her anger, glared at Zhou Liwan fiercely, then snorted and left.

After she disappeared from the office, everyone looked at Zhou Liwan, their eyes filled with heartache.

She was only in her twenties, and she had suffered so much.

Having been in the hands of human traffickers for nearly ten years, she must have been tortured beyond recognition, but she is still so kind, gentle, and thoughtful, and she often considers details for everyone.

Moreover, she has used her expertise to help so many people in distress.

But she never brought it up and never showed off her superiority in front of others because of her status.

On the contrary, Zhou Qingya had been living a good life, with fine clothes and delicious food, yet she was so ostentatious.

It seems that Zhou Liwan is more like her mother.

And this Zhou's father is definitely not a good person.

Zhou Liwan found it somewhat amusing when he heard everyone's voices, and he also understood that everyone was concerned about him.

Seeing the things Zhou Qingya brought, which were also quite expensive, he said directly: "Thank you very much, everyone. I have always seen your kindness and care for me. I have always felt that our team is a big loving family. Now that my stepsister has bought the things, don't feel bad for her. After all, the things are still good."

Everyone looked at Zhou Liwan's appearance and didn't take her too seriously, so they just started eating.

It’s still what Zhou Liwan said, the food is good, why bother with it.

In the lively atmosphere that had returned, Zhou Liwan walked back to the office with a smile, and Jiang Shiyue followed immediately.

Zhou Liwan looked at the person who came in, walked to the window and pulled down the blinds, then walked over and hugged the person tightly: "Brother Huya, sometimes when I see you, it really makes me feel like we are still in that place and haven't escaped."

Jiang Shiyue narrowed his eyes, unable to see the thoughts in his eyes. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Everything is over, late, everything is over, and those people have received the punishment they deserved."

Zhou Liwan shook her head vigorously: "No, no, Jiang Shiyue, it's not over yet. I have a hunch. And my mother's death was very strange."

Jiang Shiyue hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke: "I got a piece of gossip a few days ago. Your mother's death may be related to your grandfather."

Zhou Liwan suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with shock: "What did you just say?"

Jiang Shiyue held Zhou Liwan's back with his hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I just heard this from a former informant, and the other party also said that he might have just guessed wrong."

Zhou Liwan pushed Jiang Shiyue away and said, "Even if it's fake, I still want to know. I want to meet your informant."

Jiang Shiyue frowned: "Wanwan, you'd better not get involved. Just like handling a case, we are responsible for investigating the case at the scene, and you are only responsible for defeating the suspect's last line of defense."

Zhou Liwan insisted: "Are you going to take me with you or not?"

Jiang Shiyue walked around the office for a few times, and as if he really had no other options, he rubbed his head irritably and said helplessly: "I am afraid of you. Okay, the time tonight remains the same. I will call that person out, but I have to choose the place."

Zhou Liwan nodded blankly, then let go of his hand and sat back in the chair.

Turn on the computer and work mechanically.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Shiyue sighed deeply and went out to make a phone call.

When she was the only one left in the office, Zhou Liwan couldn't help but shed tears.

Try hard not to cry.

After such a long time, I just want an answer as to why my mother disappeared without any reason and her body was never found.

Zhou Liwan had a premonition that the truth was about to come to him.

At night, Jiang Shiyue drove the car and Master Wang waited in the police station.

They drove all the way, through the bustling streets of City A, and slowly into the dark and remote suburbs.

Looking at the inexplicably familiar scenes around him, Zhou Liwan's right eye twitched wildly.

Without the tall buildings in the city, all that is seen is darkness, with only the dim street lights passing by from time to time.

It was like the road to the underworld, eerily quiet.

Zhou Liwan looked into the distance and saw the bridge piles that were still working late into the night. His heart suddenly sank and his mind went blank.

The scenes from the previous life suddenly came back to my mind.

This is the Nanjiao project, which is also the place where I died in my previous life.

Now they have actually started construction!

Zhou Liwan couldn't control the trembling in his body and asked in a low voice: "You brought me here?"

Jiang Shiyue carefully glanced at Zhou Liwan's face. Her face was pale and something was obviously wrong. "What's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale? If you are not feeling well, we can come back later."

Zhou Liwan shook his head firmly and said slowly: "I just suddenly thought of some bad memories, but why did you bring me here?"

Jiang Shiyue returned his attention to the road ahead. "The informant this time is working as a worker in Han Kui's latest project. He was the one who leaked the news about your mother to me. However, this place is remote and there are not many cars on weekdays, so it takes a lot of time to go to the city to find us. I think since we have something to find him, we naturally can't let him make a trip, so I prepared some snacks and wine in advance, and we will find a place to eat nearby later."

Zhou Liwan was impressed by Jiang Shiyue's thoughtfulness and was a little moved: "Thank you, Brother Huya."

Jiang Shiyue rubbed Zhou Liwan's head with amusement: "Why are you being so polite to me? When we get over there, don't be in a hurry to talk. Let me talk first. Do you hear me?"

Zhou Liwan nodded obediently and said nothing more.
