Zhao Cao rolled her eyes at Zhou Yuanyuan. She realized that she had become a lot worse than before. Back in Zhaojiagou, she'd often wondered if this timid-looking "Yuanyuan" would be bullied by those high-ranking noble ladies in Kyoto.
Seeing Zhao Cao's signature eye roll, Zhou Yuanyuan burst into pleasant laughter again, which made Zhao Cao so angry that he reached out and scratched the itchy spot on Zhou Yuanyuan's waist.
The two laughed and joked for a while before stopping.
Zhao Cao opened one button of his collar, revealing a red rope.
Zhou Yuanyuan recognized the familiar red string immediately; it belonged to Zhou Jiasheng. Without even a second glance, she knew that the diamond jade talisman hanging from the red string belonged to Zhou Jiasheng.
It turned out that Zhou Jiasheng had given his jade talisman to Cao. No wonder Cao noticed something was wrong with the timing of her appearance! The "Forgetfulness Technique" worked on ordinary people, but it failed to affect Zhao Cao, who was wearing the Diamond Jade Talisman.
Zhou Yuanyuan quietly turned her eyes away, pretending not to notice the diamond jade talisman on Zhao Cao's neck. Although the item was given to Zhou Jiasheng by Zhou Yuanyuan, and Zhou Jiasheng was willing to give it to Cao, Zhou Yuanyuan, as a younger sister, had no right to interfere.
However, this incident suggests that Zhou Jiasheng's statement about her love for grass during the Lunar New Year and her future marriage to a woman was likely true. By the time Zhou Yuanyuan gave the jade talisman to Zhou Jiasheng, its effects had already expired. Furthermore, Wen Ziqing, who had activated the jade talisman's protective shield, was still at home! The Zhou family, including Zhou Jiasheng, certainly had no doubts about the jade talisman's effectiveness.
Knowing that the jade talisman was a rare treasure, Zhou Jiasheng gave it to Zhao Cao without hesitation, showing that he valued Zhao Cao more than his own life.
"Yuanyuan, I came to you because I suspect something happened to Zhou Jiasheng. We made an appointment yesterday to meet here today. Although Zhou Jiasheng is a playful person, he never lies." Zhao Cao frowned and said.
Smiling face? Was Zhao Cao sure this was his eldest brother? Zhou Yuanyuan almost thought the Zhou Jiasheng she knew and the Zhou Jiasheng Zhao Cao knew were not the same person.
Zhou Jiasheng still likes to laugh, but in Zhou Yuanyuan's view, Zhou Jiasheng's smile is just a sunny smile, which has nothing to do with Zhao Cao's "hippie smile".
Moreover, after Zhou Jiasheng opened his own research institute, in order to better motivate his highly educated and intelligent staff, he rarely smiled, replaced by a rather rigid and serious expression. A playful Zhou Jiasheng? Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't imagine what he would look like.
"Sister Cao, what time did you meet with my brother?" Seeing the jade talisman on Zhao Cao, Zhou Yuanyuan no longer dared to be careless.
"Four thirty yesterday, when Zhou Jiasheng left. Meet at the entrance of the roast duck restaurant on Chenfeng Road at four thirty this afternoon. It was already four fifty when I called you just now. I didn't dare to blink while standing here. I really didn't see him." Zhao Cao became more and more worried when Rong, who was never late, was late for once. She quickly found a telephone booth nearby and called Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Sister Cao, could you have found the wrong place? There are several roast duck restaurants in Kyoto!" At this time, Zhou Yuanyuan thought of a possibility.
"No, no, Yuanyuan, look, this is the route map Jiasheng drew for me last night. I checked it several times just now. It's Chenfeng Road, right." Zhao Cao took out a simple route map from the bag he was carrying.
If it weren't for the route map drawn by Zhou Jiasheng, Zhao Cao would have been unfamiliar with Kyoto for the first time and would not have been able to find this place.
In fact, Zhao Cao was a little curious about why Zhou Jiasheng didn't come to pick her up at her residence, but let her find it herself. However, Zhao Cao didn't ask. After all, she had a route map, so it was not difficult for her to find the place.
Zhou Yuanyuan looked at the route map in Zhao Cao's hand and frowned.
Zhou Yuanyuan had the same thought as Zhao Cao, but she'd gone a little further. Her first reaction after looking at the map was, "My brother is amazing! He must have drawn this map to get rid of the bodyguards who had been following him so he could have a secret date with Cao."
Thinking of this possibility, Zhou Yuanyuan no longer hesitated and directly released her spiritual sense.
This time, Zhou Yuanyuan did not hide her strength. Her spiritual awareness spread rapidly to every corner of the city like a spider web.
A few minutes later, Zhou Yuanyuan withdrew her consciousness.
Just as Zhou Yuanyuan had expected, Zhou Jiasheng's dozen or so bodyguards were anxiously searching for Zhou Jiasheng on several streets not far from here.
Zhou Jiasheng had already been put in a black bag and thrown into a moving van.
"Yuanyuan, it's all my fault. If I hadn't come to Kyoto, the Zhou family would have defeated him..." Zhao Cao saw that Zhou Yuanyuan was silent for a long time after hearing what he said, and thought that Zhou Yuanyuan was angry with him, so he quickly apologized.
"Sister Cao, it's none of your business. Don't think too much. I felt a little dizzy from the sun just now, so I didn't talk to you." Seeing Cao blaming herself, Zhou Yuanyuan quickly shook her hand and comforted her.
Regardless of whether Zhou Jiasheng was abducted because he came to see Cao, Zhou Yuanyuan would not blame Cao. After all, Cao was the one Zhou Jiasheng had chosen, and Zhou Yuanyuan was currently very satisfied with this future sister-in-law.
In order to make Cao believe that she was indeed feeling dizzy from the sun, Zhou Yuanyuan deliberately made her face paler.
"Yuanyuan, come to my place and sit for a while!" Zhao Cao saw Zhou Yuanyuan's pale face and thought that Zhou Yuanyuan was really sunburned, so he quickly suggested.
Zhao Cao lived in the same three-bedroom apartment that Zhao Qingshan lived in when he worked at Renhe Hospital. When Zhao Cao took out the route map drawn by Zhou Jiasheng, Zhou Yuanyuan had already noticed it.
That house was where Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Jiasheng lived when they were in middle school. It wasn't until Zhou Jiasheng went to college and Zhou Yuanyuan moved back to the compound to be closer to General Zhou that the house became vacant. However, Zhou Yuanyuan always had someone clean it regularly.
When Wen Ziqing stayed in Kyoto, this house became his temporary residence. Compared to the Wen family, which was full of intrigue, Wen Ziqing would rather live in Zhou Yuanyuan's house despite the reputation of being a "giant".
Because of this, Zhou Yuanyuan, Zhou Jiasheng and Wen Ziqing all have the keys to this house. This is one of the beautiful memories of their youth.
