Even physically strong superhumans will be corroded by zombie substances after wearing it for a month, and will suffer damage without realizing it, let alone Zou Yunkang, who is an ordinary person!
Judging from his appearance, his steps were unsteady and his eyes were dark; he had been wearing it for at least three days!
If this continues for another ten days or half a month, he will suddenly die in his office!
Then the plot of the novel will have to be changed again.
From "The mayor's wife bravely exposes the traitorous mayor, turning her own family member into—" to...
Shocking! The newly appointed mayor died suddenly just days after taking office; what was the cause?
"Mayor Zou doesn't have to believe me. You'll know once you go back and try it."
As soon as she got into the car, Yan Miao called him "Mayor Zou" without any need to be careful or secretive, since everyone around her was his man.
How do I test it?
Grandma Zou's eyes gleamed with excitement, even more so than Zou Yunkang's. "This thing was indeed given to him by Yao Rong. I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Third brother, you can't deny it. Don't even think about making excuses for her!"
Zou Yunkang was the third child in his family. Hearing his mother call him "third child" in front of outsiders again gave him a terrible headache. "Young lady, please tell me what to do?"
He didn't believe it at first, but what she just said matched his recent symptoms perfectly!
When Yao Rong put the pendant on herself, she said that she saw he had recently taken office and was anxious and couldn't sleep well at night, so she specially asked for something to calm his mind to wear.
Sure enough, his sleep quality improved that very night!
So I haven't taken it off!
Just as the little girl in front of me said, the better you sleep at night, the more tired and less energetic you are during the day!
I almost fainted this morning when my assistant was reporting something!
He went to the hospital for a checkup, but they couldn't find anything wrong. The doctor just advised him to rest more.
“I’m sure you wouldn’t believe me if I told you directly that your wife has a problem, so why don’t you try it yourself! The best way is to give the necklace back to her and let her wear it every day.”
"If she agrees, it proves she was unaware of the situation; if she strongly resists, the rest is self-evident..."
"Thank you very much. It's the weekend in two days, and I'd like to invite the three of you to lunch to thank you for saving my mother today!"
"Young lady, if you guessed right about the necklace, I, Zou Yunkang, will owe you a huge favor!"
"From now on, as long as you're on my turf, I'll guarantee your safety!"
hey-hey!
Yan Miao grinned and chuckled, "Mayor Zou, you keep your word!"
"Since you're so straightforward, I'll give you a bonus—since ancient times, even heroes have found it hard to resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Haven't you considered that Yao Rong might be part of a carefully prepared trap for you?"
Yan Miao stopped there, and after saying that, she opened the car door and got out.
Zou Yunkang was left sitting in the back seat, deep in thought.
Grandma Zou gave him a disdainful look. "Hmph, all men are like this. Lust is a double-edged sword. The third son is no exception. He'll only understand after he suffers a big fall."
She was actually quite willing to let Yao Rong teach him a lesson!
…………
The Zou family.
Upon hearing the door open, Yao Rong rushed to the door, grabbed Grandma Zou's hand, and wiped away her tears, "Waaah, Mom, I'm so glad you're alright!"
"I was so scared! When I heard you were being held hostage, I almost fainted!"
Her affected mannerisms made the old lady want to vomit. Who was she trying to impress with her pretentious act?
However, this time she held back. The old lady was ruthless and didn't talk much. She directly grabbed the pendant off Zou Yunkang's neck and hung it on Yao Rong with a smile. "Daughter-in-law, it's all my fault for making you worry for so long!"
"Here, you can borrow this calming necklace that you got for the third brother for a few days to wear and soothe your mind!"
The moment Yao Rong saw the necklace, her expression changed drastically, and she shrank back in fear.
Zou Yunkang stared intently, clearly seeing her resistance!
"Mom, no...no need! I specially got this for my husband. I can't bear to wear something so valuable!"
"Wear!"
"What's there to be reluctant about? We're all family. If I can wear it, why can't you?"
Zou Yunkang remained expressionless and said quietly.
Yao Rong's tone softened instantly, and she adopted a charming demeanor, pleading with him, "Honey, I was just concerned about you. I wrote your name on it and asked for it for you. How can you wear it on me?"
"What era are we living in? Why do people still believe in demons and monsters?"
"Since this necklace has a calming effect, it doesn't matter who wears it!"
Zou Yunkang took the necklace and, without allowing any refusal, hung it around Yao Rong's neck, admiring it for a couple of seconds with interest. "Beautiful..."
The moment Yao Rong touched the crystal core, her entire body stiffened!
Damn it, she threw it away as soon as she got back to her room!
She blinked awkwardly. "Honey, I want to go upstairs and rest first—"
"Xiao Pei, Madam was terrified today. You stay with her while she sleeps! Remember, whatever you do, don't let her take off the necklace!"
"Listen up, everyone! Madam is resting at home these few days. You must keep a close eye on her and make sure she wears the necklace at all times!"
"yes!"
The servants in the house answered in unison.
Xiao Pei, in particular, was Zou Yunkang's confidante. She used to take care of his daughter and held a high position in the family.
She was also from a military background, so even Yao Rong didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of her, fearing that this tough Barbie might knock her unconscious with one punch!
"Rongrong, only by wearing this necklace can your body get better, understand?"
Zou Yunkang remained as gentle as ever, but Yao Rong felt a chill run down her spine. "I understand..."
Isn't this trying to kill her?
She answered tremblingly, and the next second she spectacularly fainted!
Looking at Yao Rong, who was lying limp at his feet, Zou Yunkang sneered, went straight into his study, and dialed his assistant's number. "Investigate Yao Rong's background immediately, from childhood to adulthood, don't miss any clues!"
"Her background may have been fabricated. Contact professionals to investigate, and do it quickly!"
When he first met Yao Rong, he did consider investigating her, but Yao Rong kept crying and saying that she and her mother had a tragic past—
The father cheated on his wife and ran away with the money, leaving the mother and daughter to depend on each other for survival!
She has suffered a lot of injustice over the years. If she were to investigate and find out about her shameful past, she would rather kill herself!
Zou Yunkang felt sorry for his wife, so he gave up the investigation. Now it seems that everything was under her control!
evening.
In the study, lit only by a dim desk lamp, Zou Yunkang sat in a leather chair, his expression unreadable.
He looked at the report on the table and felt a chill run down his spine!
Unexpectedly, the two people who seemed least likely to have a relationship ended up being the most closely connected!
