"Why? Why would you do such a thing?"

Qin Xiangcao looked at Zhou Yalun in front of her in disbelief and asked.

She didn't understand why Zhou Yalun had tied her here. They had such a good relationship, and she had helped him before.

"Need I say more? Of course, we should adapt to the situation! As the saying goes, a man who knows the current situation is a hero!"

Zhou Yalun shrugged and sat back in his chair without caring.

"Lei Zuo controls almost all of our family's businesses. The current ancient appraiser is just a shell with nothing on the surface, so only by following the Lei family can you have food to eat."

"What?" Qin Xiangcao was shocked when she heard this. To be honest, she didn't expect such a thing to happen.

What Lei Zuo did was so unexpected. Not only did she not expect it, but all the ancient appraisers did not expect Lei Zuo to be able to do this.

"It's normal to be shocked. After all, Lei spent fifteen years planning to accomplish this in order not to alert the enemy.

I just found out recently that he is a very patient person, just like a snake."

Zhou Yalun sighed. To this day, he was surprised that Lei Zuo had spent 15 years planning this.

It is really not something that ordinary people can do to endure such hardships.

"Then why did he arrest me? What use would I be to him?"

"Did you take my words just now as wind in your ears? I said almost, not all.

Your father is smarter and has always been on guard against Lei Zuo, and Lei Zuo doesn't want to alert the enemy by purchasing the Qin family's assets, so your Qin family's assets are intact."

"I see!"

Qin Xiangcao was not stupid either. After listening to his explanation, she suddenly understood.

Lei Zuo wanted to use her to threaten Qin Yu and make Qin Yu hand over everything of the Qin family.

But thinking about this, Qin Xiangcao became angrier and angrier. She gritted her teeth and stared at Zhou Yalun angrily, saying:

"I trusted you and helped you deal with Lin Han, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"

"Wait!" Zhou Yalun became a little anxious after hearing Qin Xiangcao's words. He stood up and extended his index finger of his right hand.

"First, I didn't ask you to believe me, nor did I ask you to help me deal with Lin Han. I was ready to frame Lin Han. After all, no one else was present at the time."

"Second!" He raised his middle finger. "You are stupid and can't see the truth. You can't blame me. Who told you not to believe your father but to believe me? And your father's death is also your fault."

"My father's death? What are you talking about? My father will die?"

Qin Xiangcao was anxious. Although she had had an unpleasant argument with Qin Yu before, she didn't want him to die!

And if Qin Yu died, wouldn't it be meaningless to take her as a hostage?

Isn't Lei Zuo going to use her to threaten Qin Yu? That requires Qin Yu to be alive, because the dead cannot be threatened in any way.

"Of course, Lei Zuo told me that he had already emptied the ancestral tomb of everything. Even if they could get out of the tomb, they wouldn't be able to get any treasures. Moreover, the Ancient You Temple is now under the control of Lei Zuo, so the death penalty is certain."

Zhou Yalun shrugged. He had asked at that time, and he knew a little about Lei Zuo's arrangements for Lin Han and Qin Yu.

What's more, Lei Zuo controlled the Guyou Temple. Given Lei Zuo's hatred for Qin Yu, he would not let Qin Yu live even if Qin Yu took back the ancient artifact.

As for Lin Han, there is no need to mention him. He is a pawn used to exchange financial resources with Cao Yanhuang and Lin Shaoxian.

Lei Zuo didn't care about his life or death at all, and those two people hated Lin Han so much that they would definitely kill him.

So he felt that the two men were doomed to die.

"But isn't Lei Zuo trying to use me to threaten my father?"

"Your grandfather can do it, too. Since your father died, your grandfather is in charge of those companies. After all, he is in good health and sober now."

“It can be said that it was a bad idea for Lin Han to help him prolong his life, otherwise your father would definitely still be alive.”

"This..." Qin Xiangcao was stunned for a moment, and then her face became very ugly.

"In other words, I was the one who killed my father? If I had done what he did and spoken up for Lin Han, wouldn't he have died?"

Qin Xiangcao realized that it was she who sent her father to the guillotine, and she instantly became dazed, even collapsed.

Tears streamed from her eyes and sobs came out of her mouth.

After seeing this, Zhou Yalun couldn't help but sneer. Thinking that Qin Xiangcao was finally quiet this time, he took the tape and put it on her mouth again.

Just at this moment, the door was pushed open and Lei Zuo walked in with a gloomy face.

Seeing Lei Zuo's expression, Zhou Yalun knew that something must have happened, but he didn't know exactly what had happened.

He stood up, approached Lei Zuo, and asked curiously and carefully: "Mr. Lei, what happened?"

Lei Zuo stopped and looked at Zhou Yalun who was standing in front of him, and slapped Zhou Yalun in the face.

He was angry. Although Zhou Yalun was not the one who annoyed him, he was blocking his way. What's more, he was in need of a sandbag. Now Zhou Yalun came up to him and he had no choice but to beat him up.

Zhou Yalun covered his face, took a few steps back, and looked at Lei Zuo in front of him in disbelief.

After all, he is Lei Zuo's partner. Although his seniority and family business are not as good as Lei Zuo's, Lei Zuo should still have the attitude and respect to treat a partner, right?

Besides, Lei Zuo beat him for no reason, and he didn't provoke Lei Zuo.

However, Lei Zuo's face was grim and he was very angry now, so he didn't dare to ask more questions or complain, so he could only step aside.

Lei Zuo grabbed the naked Qin Xiangcao by her hair and roughly dragged her out of the bed.

When others saw Qin Xiangcao crying in pain, although they felt sorry for this girl, they did not dare to say anything, otherwise they would be the ones to get slapped in the face.

"What on earth happened? How could this happen?"

Only after Lei Zuo left did Zhou Yalun dare to ask those who were traveling with Lei Zuo.

"We don't know either. We are all here waiting for Lei Zuo to come back just like you. We don't know what happened in Guyou Temple, but I think he failed."

One person shook his head and expressed his own speculation.

"Failed? How is that possible? The other families are already in name only and have nothing left, how dare they fight him? And he brought so many people with him, how could he lose?"

Zhou Yalun simply couldn't imagine how Lei Zuo could lose with such a good hand.

But if he really lost, it would be understandable that he was so angry, after all, he had been planning for 15 years!
