Chapter 473: Ex-girlfriend (20)
After listening to his subordinates' reports on their daily work, Zhongli Ximo rubbed his forehead tiredly. During this period, he was busy fighting with those people in his family, trying to snatch projects from them, designing ways to drain their cash flow, and trying every means to make them fall into the trap he dug in advance without knowing it...
These things were too exhausting, and even he couldn't help feeling tired from thinking too much. But as soon as he thought that he wouldn't be able to be with Zuo Shichu unless he solved these problems at home, he immediately regained his motivation and felt that he could still hold on.
It was already past one in the middle of the night and he was still in the office. Today he had defeated one of his opponents, his cousin, but he still had several competitors who were eyeing him covetously, all wanting to find an opportunity to step on him.
The Zhongli family adopted a default approach to the fight between them. After all, if one wants to control a large family, one must have enough scheming and strategy, and these scheming and strategy are honed in repeated fights with competitors.
Zhongli Ximo had thought that he could choose not to participate in this inhumane and cold fight, but he did not expect that even if he did not want to fight, someone would push him to fight...
At this point, he can no longer remain immune.
Zuo Shichu had no idea that Zhongli Ximo was struggling in dire straits. She was having a very happy time. She had just gone to a certain idol's concert with a group of little girls. She waved glow sticks and cheered loudly with everyone. She felt so refreshed that she felt particularly happy until the concert ended and she came out of the theater.
After saying goodbye to the girls, she went to the parking lot to find her car and suddenly felt something was wrong.
She took out her small makeup mirror from her bag and pretended to look in the mirror, observing what was happening behind her.
Sure enough, she caught someone who was secretly following her. Although the man's tracking skills were superb, if Zuo Shichu had not been particularly sensitive to such things, he would not have been discovered at all.
Unfortunately, Zuo Shichu is not an ordinary person, so even if the person who is following her pretends to be a passerby, he cannot hide from her eyes.
There were many cars in the parking lot. She pretended to have dropped her keys, bent down to pick them up, and then quickly moved among the surrounding cars. Not long after, she got behind the man who was following her. Before the man who was looking around could notice her, she jumped behind him and kicked him twice in the back of the knees, making him kneel on the ground. Then she quickly grabbed his neck with her hands, leaving him without any resistance.
"Looking for me again?" Zuo Shichu stared into his eyes and asked coldly, "Who sent you?"
Zuo Shichu thought that it was Zhongli Ximo's opponents who wanted to use her to threaten Zhongli Ximo again, so she couldn't help but get angry. She increased the strength of her hands and pinched the man so hard that he almost rolled his eyes.
The man's face turned red from being pinched, and he desperately pried Zuo Shichu's hands apart with both hands. After finally getting her to loosen up a little, he hurriedly replied with difficulty: "I, I wasn't looking for you... I was just passing by..."
"Do I look like a fool?" Zuo Shichu punched him in the eye socket and threatened him fiercely, "If you don't tell the truth, I will continue to beat you."
The man's eyes immediately became red and swollen after being beaten, and he begged for mercy: "I'll tell you! I'll tell you! Don't hit me."
"Speak!" Zuo Shichu stared at him.
"It was Master Zhongli who asked me to follow you. No, it was to protect you..." the man said hurriedly.
Zuo Shichu couldn't help but glance at him mockingly and said, "How dare a weakling like you say you're here to protect me? You shouldn't lie more truthfully. There are several young masters in the Zhongli family. Which one of them wants to kidnap me this time? Your information is a bit delayed. I've been separated from Zhongli Ximo for several months. Why are you still trying to capture me?"
The man knew she had misunderstood when he heard it, and hurriedly explained: "No, Miss Zuo, you misunderstood. It was Master Zhongli Ximo who sent me here. He was worried that other people in the family would have their eyes on you again, so he asked me to follow you and protect you well..."
Zuo Shichu was stunned for a moment. This answer was beyond her expectation. She thought that since Zhongli Ximo hadn't shown up for such a long time, he must have agreed to break up with her. But she didn't expect that he would send someone to follow her?
No, maybe this man is lying again?
"Don't try to fool me. Do you think I will believe you if you mention Zhongli Ximo's name?" Zuo Shichu pinched him hard again, causing him to cough continuously.
"Forget it, I'll just hand you over to the police." She added that she was, after all, a good citizen who abided by the law. If she caught someone who was suspected of threatening her personal safety, she would naturally hand him over to professionals.
When the man heard that she wanted to hand him over to the police, he became even more anxious: "I, I have evidence to prove that I am Master Ximo's man..."
"Oh? What evidence?" Zuo Shichu asked.
"The mobile phone...the mobile phone has WeChat chat records..." the man answered hurriedly.
Zuo Shichu took the phone out of his pocket, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and flipped to his WeChat account. Sure enough, he found the WeChat account that Zhongli Ximo used to contact this person.
She opened it and saw that it was all about her schedule: On a certain day of a certain month, Miss Zuo left home at 8:15, drove to Yonghui Company to work, went to the company cafeteria for lunch at 12:00, returned to the office for lunch at 12:47, went to work at 2:00 in the afternoon, got off work at 5:30, drove to Heyuan Road Cantonese Restaurant for dinner, went to the Grand Theater to listen to a concert at 7:30 with five fans and friends...
Zuo Shichu was stunned when she saw these detailed records of her own trip. She couldn't help but grit her teeth and asked the man: "Are you a pervert?"
It was all her fault for being so comfortable these days that she didn't even notice that this man had been following her for several days. She was so depraved. If she hadn't noticed it tonight, she would probably be watched by him in every detail in the future...
"I, I'm just following the young master's orders." The man explained quickly.
Zuo Shichu simply used this person's WeChat to make a voice call to Zhongli Ximo.
"Hello? Is Shichu in trouble?" Zhongli Ximo's deep and magnetic voice came over anxiously, "Is Shichu being visited by someone again?"
"It's me!" Zuo Shichu said unhappily, "When did you develop the habit of spying on others?"
"Shi Chu?" Zhongli Ximo heard the sound of something falling to the ground. He sounded a little flustered. "I didn't mean to do that. I was afraid someone would cause trouble for you again..."
Zuo Shichu was so angry that he laughed: "So you hired someone to follow me?"
Zhongli Ximo quickly explained: "I am currently fighting fiercely with those people at home. I am afraid that they will panic and hurt you, so I asked someone to protect you. Don't be angry, okay?"
He said this somewhat cautiously.
