Chapter 97 Turn Enemies into Friends
Something's not right!
She kicked over the glass table in front of her.
Then, with a loud crash, the entire table tipped over, scattering shards of glass everywhere.
—
Song Zhiwei was awakened by the knocking on the door.
She opened her eyes groggily, her vision still a little blurry.
The morning light filtering through the gaps in the curtains was slightly dazzling.
She blinked, rubbed her eyes, sat up in bed, her long hair disheveled and draped over her shoulders.
The heaviness in my body seemed to be blown away by the wind, and I suddenly felt much more awake.
She looked down at her still trembling hands and gently clenched her fist.
As soon as the door opened, a man stood outside carrying a steaming hot breakfast.
The paper bag was steaming slightly from the edges, and the aroma wafted in through the crack in the door.
Sheng Tingzhou was wearing a dark gray overcoat.
Are you feeling better today?
Sheng Tingzhou stepped into the house with steady steps and casually placed the breakfast on the table.
He took off his coat and hung it on the back of the chair before turning around and giving her a brief, indifferent glance.
"Much better."
She went into the bathroom and washed her face, water droplets sliding down her cheeks.
The person in the mirror looked pale, but their eyes were no longer empty.
After coming out, she sat down at the table and began to eat slowly.
"Thanks."
She spoke softly, her tone sincere.
He helped her a lot during this time.
From the day the Zhou family broke ties, he silently handled all sorts of troubles for her behind the scenes.
She didn't know why he was willing to go to this lengths.
But she knew that she had remembered this kindness.
Sheng Tingzhou smiled.
"Are you going home or to the office later?"
He knew she wasn't the kind of person who would give up easily, and he understood that once she made a decision, she wouldn't turn back.
"Go to work."
Now that she has decided to leave the Zhou family, she can no longer rely on others for support.
"OK."
He knew that what she needed was not pity, but respect.
After finishing breakfast, he took out his phone, dialed the driver's number, and spoke concisely.
"Come pick her up and take her to the company."
Then he said to Song Zhiwei, "The car will be here soon, I'll have the driver take you."
—
Inside the clubhouse's monitoring room.
In the dim light, rows of green lights flashed on the screen, reflecting Mo Huaizhi's ashen face.
He braced his hands on the control panel, the veins on his forehead throbbing slightly.
Mo Huaizhi was yelling at the security guard: "Pull up the surveillance footage from last night!"
He must see everything that happened last night.
When did he enter the club, and when did he leave?
Did the surveillance cameras in the corridor capture him rushing into the toilet?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
If he hadn't rushed into the bathroom to calm down that night, if he hadn't been able to hold it in...
What if, in a moment of emotional outburst, he did something irreversible to Song Zhiwei…
What would Zhou Yuze think if he found out?
He and Zhou Yuze have known each other for over a decade, growing up together, weathering storms together, and trusting each other implicitly.
They had sworn never to betray them.
But that moment of impulsiveness last night almost wiped everything out.
If his brotherhood is ruined because of this, he will never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
He's determined to find out who's behind this!
He absolutely cannot allow the mastermind behind this to continue to escape justice!
I had only watched half of the surveillance footage when the screen suddenly went black, switching to the corridor area.
The security guard bowed his head and smiled apologetically, his voice trembling: "Young Master Mo... I'm sorry, the corridor camera... was broken last night. The system shows that it suddenly went offline at 9:15 and wasn't restored until the early hours of the morning."
"Bang!"
Mo Huai slammed his fist on the table, making the teacup shake violently.
His eyes were fixed on the black screen of the surveillance camera.
This is not an accident at all!
Someone tampered with this!
"Get your boss out here!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.
They even dare to be so perfunctory and irresponsible about Mo Huaizhi's affairs?
Do you really think you can just brush it off with a casual "the surveillance camera is broken"?
The security guard at the gate was so frightened that his face turned ashen, his lips trembled, and his voice shook.
"The...the boss really didn't come to work today, we wouldn't dare lie to you..."
Mo Huai was burning with anger and was about to lash out again.
Suddenly, a loud "boom" was heard.
The heavy iron door to the monitoring room was kicked open from the outside.
Amidst the swirling dust, a man in a long black coat strode in.
He was followed by a team of bodyguards with stern expressions.
Mo Huaizhi suddenly looked up, recognized the person at a glance, and a glint flashed in his eyes. His tone changed instantly.
"Tingzhou? You've finally arrived?!"
With Sheng Tingzhou here, this matter can definitely be easily suppressed!
He had just breathed a sigh of relief and hadn't even finished saying what he wanted to say next.
Sheng Tingzhou rushed to him in three steps, grabbed his collar, and pulled him forward violently!
Immediately afterwards, the fist struck down like thunder.
A muffled thud followed, accompanied by the sound of bones colliding.
Mo Huaizhi was completely unprepared and was knocked backward by the punch, his back slamming heavily onto the cold floor tiles, letting out a muffled groan.
"You're insane!"
He struggled to raise his hand and cover his swollen cheek.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
Sheng Tingzhou looked down at him.
"Last night, was it you who asked Song Zhiwei to go?"
"Yes...it was me who called!"
Mo Huaizhi hurriedly explained, waving his hands haphazardly.
"But I swear, I didn't drug her! I really didn't lay a finger on her! I just wanted to see her and talk to her about something!"
Sheng Tingzhou remained unmoved.
He bent down, and with a sudden burst of strength, grabbed Mo Huaizhi by the collar and lifted him up half an inch.
Then another heavy punch slammed into his other cheek!
"Smack!"
The crisp striking sound sent chills down my spine.
Mo Huaizhi's head snapped to the side, blood instantly trickling from the corner of his mouth, his teeth throbbing with pain.
"Mo Huaizhi," Sheng Tingzhou said in a low voice, "is your brain filled with water, or are you blinded by lard?"
"She trusted you so much, treated you like family... and you used that trust as a knife to stab her in the back?"
"I...I really didn't hurt her!"
Mo Huaizhi was almost in tears, and blood from his nose mixed with saliva kept dripping down his face, making him look extremely disheveled.
"I'm telling the truth! I just want her to come over and ask her about what happened before... I didn't mean anything else!"
He looked wronged and spoke incoherently in his defense.
Sheng Tingzhou stared at him for a full five seconds.
Then, he spoke coldly, gritting his teeth, "Don't you know? She and Qiao Yiqing are enemies?"
"What? An enemy?"
Mo Huaizhi was completely stunned, his mind went blank.
"That's impossible... Weren't they aunt and niece before? Although their relationship wasn't great, they weren't exactly enemies either, right? How did they suddenly become mortal enemies?"
He looked completely bewildered, utterly clueless about the situation.
Sheng Tingzhou was too lazy to waste any more words on him.
He sneered and kicked Mo Huaizhi hard in the stomach!
With a loud thud, Mo Huaizhi was in so much pain that he almost fainted.
"Fool!"
Sheng Tingzhou's voice was cold, revealing an undisguised anger.
"Even now you still can't figure out who the real culprit is? Who's plotting against her behind the scenes?"
