Xie Jing lowered her eyes and smiled: "Of course I remember you very well. Apart from you, no one in this world treats me better than you."
Zhou Jiyun also smiled. He held Xie Jing's hand and said, "It's because you are so kind to me. In this world, you are the only one who always stands by me unwaveringly."
As for Zhou Jiwen and Shen Yaozhi, following Shen Yaozhi's instructions, Zhou Jiwen easily found the resort she mentioned. The resort was in a secluded location, with exquisite interior decoration and a full range of entertainment facilities. It was indeed a great place to relax and unwind on the weekend.
Chen Yaozhi held Zhou Jiwen's hand and said, "This is run by one of my dad's partners. They usually send some coupons here. I came here with my dad last time and I thought it was quite interesting."
“You can come here to soak in the hot springs in the winter, and there’s also a swimming pool.”
Zhou Jiwen looked around and said, "It's really nice. Are there many people coming here? Will the privacy of the guests be leaked?"
"Don't worry," Chen Yaozhi chuckled. "In order to protect everyone's privacy, the villa has only installed cameras in a few public locations such as the main entrance and the lobby. There are no surveillance cameras in other places."
"Otherwise, why would those rich men or women come here so often?"
Zhou Jiwen understood and pinched his fingers: "So that's how it is. This place is equivalent to a club in another sense, but it's more hidden than a club."
"Yes, and the villa is a membership-based one. You need to be accompanied by a member to enter. You can also apply for a membership card later."
Zhou Jiwen did not refuse: "Thank you very much, if I am tired from work in the future, I can come here to relax."
Chen Yaozhi pinched Zhou Jiwen and said, "You want to come here? Are you coming alone?"
Zhou Jiwen took Chen Yaozhi's hand and said, "How could that be? I must have asked you to come with me. It's boring for me to come here alone. Besides, I'm usually very tired from work, and I need a secluded place to relax."
Chen Yaozhi was coaxed into submission, and she took Zhou Jiwen's arm: "If you want to come, just ask me to come with you."
"Sure." Zhou Jiwen also smiled, but his smile was full of deep meaning.
After spending a day with Chen Yaozhi at the villa, Zhou Jiwen even applied for a membership card before leaving. Chen Yaozhi didn't take it seriously, and the two happily returned to the city.
Time passed slowly, and soon another week had passed. On Saturday morning, Zhou Jiyun was still asleep when his phone rang.
Zhou Jiyun opened his eyes suddenly, and after seeing that Xie Jing was not woken up, he tiptoed out of the bedroom: "What's the matter?"
Brother Fan was a little excited: "Jiang Cha went out. Looking at the direction she went, it was the Yueming Villa that Zhou Jiwen went to last time."
"There's also news from Liuzi. Zhou Jiwen has also gone out. It looks like both of them are going to Yueming Villa."
Zhou Jiyun's sleepiness disappeared: "Really? Can you get in?"
Zhang Yifan was amused. "Didn't you help us get a membership card last time? We'll definitely be able to get in, don't worry. This time, I'm sure we'll have some solid evidence."
Zhou Jiyun scratched his hair. "I thought Zhou Jiwen could be so patient, but I didn't expect him to be so impatient. Even if he wanted to cheat, he shouldn't have done it in the villa where his fiancée took him. This is... too stupid."
Zhang Yifan thought about it and said, "That's right. If this man wants to cheat on his wife, it's best not to go to any place his wife has taken him before. Otherwise, he might run into someone he knows. He's really not that smart."
Zhou Jiyun pinched his brows, thinking that he and Xie Jing had been plotted to death in their previous life by Zhou Jiwen, a man who was impulsive and reckless in doing things, he felt that he was not that smart after all.
"Brother Fan, I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on Zhou Jiwen. By the way, is there any news on the Changmingsuo?"
Zhang Yifan fell silent. "Si Xi has been traveling a lot lately. He's been to all the famous silver and gold shops in the city and asked the old craftsmen. They said this longevity locket was made with filigree inlay."
"Si Xi has already headed north, ready to inquire along the way. According to the craftsmen, this craft was once mostly used for royal jewelry. Take a closer look, it's royal."
Zhou Jiyun was silent: "So it's likely the work of a craftsman from the capital."
"I have the same guess," Zhang Yifan smiled. "Of course, this is just a guess. We have to find evidence. I won't bother you anymore. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions."
After hanging up Zhang Yifan's phone, Zhou Jiyun didn't return to his room. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room. He stared at the photo of the longevity lock for a long time. He didn't understand anything about the filigree inlay and so on.
But he felt that this longevity lock looked very noble. Especially after Brother Fan mentioned the filigree inlay, Zhou Jintang felt that this longevity lock was emitting golden light.
"Are you looking at this so early in the morning?" Xie Jing sat on the armrest of the sofa. She had been sitting next to Zhou Jiyun for a minute, but he didn't even notice her and kept staring at the photo.
Zhou Jiyun came back to his senses: "Awake? Brother Fan just contacted me."
Xie Jing was a little surprised: "What's wrong? Is there any news about this longevity lock?"
"No, we couldn't find the source in the city. Si Xi has already inquired all the way to the capital." Zhou Jiyun paused. "Brother Fan said that this kind of craftsmanship was once reserved for the royal family. I'm just worried..."
"What are you worried about? Are you worried that my parents, whom I have never met, will hinder us?" Xie Jing scratched Zhou Jiyun's chin, as if scratching a big pear.
Zhou Jiyun didn't dodge or evade: "Part of it is worrying about these things, but the bigger part is worrying about your safety. I told you, your accident was not just an accident. It was Zhou Jiwen's doing, and there was another group involved."
"I don't know who they are, and I haven't had time to find out. I'm worried they'll come and hurt you again."
Xie Jing finally understood why Zhou Jiyun had been so worried so early in the morning. She smiled and said, "You really don't have to worry so much. Haven't we already seized the initiative? Haven't I already known that I'm not the daughter of the Xie family?"
"Besides, now that we are paying so much attention to our own safety, and with powerful people like Brother Fan helping us, the possibility of us encountering danger has been greatly reduced."
She ruffled Zhou Jiyun's hair and said, "Don't worry, you're talking about five years from now, but now is not five years from now."
"But Zhou Jiwen has also been reborn," Zhou Jiyun said in a deep voice: "We don't know what Zhou Jiwen knows, and I dare not gamble. If Zhou Jiwen is connected with those who want to harm you..."
Xie Jing pondered: "It's not impossible, so..."
"So what?" Zhou Jiyun was confused.
