Zhou Yuanbin was worried all the way because of what happened that day. He didn't know how to get along with Ji Ling and was afraid of embarrassment.

Fortunately, Ji Ling was very generous and the awkwardness in his heart faded away.

"Xu Li came to see me that day. She must have put something in my drink. I lost consciousness after drinking it." Zhou Yuanbin looked ashamed. "I didn't expect Xu Li to use such means to break up. She even plotted against you and implicated you."

Ji Ling was stunned, "Isn't he from Gao Jin's side?"

Zhou Yuanbin was stunned for a moment, "Didn't your husband tell you?"

Ji Ling shook her head.

"He came to the hospital the night before yesterday, and we talked for a while. I also told him my guesses and thoughts. He didn't believe it was Xu Li." Zhou Yuanbin said, "This is really hard to believe. Logically speaking, Xu Li should have just said it directly if she wanted to break up. There was no need to do this, but she did this and dragged you into it."

"To be honest, I don't know why Xu Li did this. Maybe she didn't want to be known as someone who abandoned me, or maybe she had a better reason to stand with Xie Qiangguo."

"Xie Qiangguo? The two of them?" Ji Ling was shocked by the thunder. "Aren't you and Xie Qiangguo good friends?"

"Yeah, because they are good friends, they are criticized by others when they are together. In order to avoid being criticized, as long as I guess wrong, they will be fine." Zhou Yuanbin smiled, "It's quite embarrassing to talk about it, so I never told anyone, and then something went wrong."

Ji Ling expressed her understanding, "No one would be too embarrassed to speak out about something like this."

I admire Zhou Yuanbin even more because he can endure such a cheating.

She asked, "Did you ever think about breaking up after you knew about it?"

"I've thought about it and mentioned it before, but Xu Li always avoids the topic. Maybe she's worried that it would be bad for her to be with Xie Qiangguo again after she breaks up with me."

Ji Ling breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Zhou Yuanbin was still rational and had no intention of volunteering to be a king or a fool.

"Given the relationship between Xu Li and Zhu Weidong, and the fact that Xie Qiangguo and you are good friends, would they plot like this?" Ji Ling was a little confused.

"As for that," Zhou Yuanbin said, "you may not have experienced the experience of always wanting to outdo a friend, but in the end you just can't, so you can only look for opportunities elsewhere to make yourself feel better."

"Isn't Xie Qiangguo the son of a high-ranking official? You're not that jealous, are you?"

"He was a child his father brought back from outside. He had never lived a good life at home and was often bullied. However, Xie's mother was unable to have children, so she could only endure her husband's betrayal and vent her resentment on Xie Qiangguo."

"If that's the case, then if he's plotting against us, we can be less frivolous and report his father for his problematic work style."

"The Xie family did a good job. He was adopted, so they couldn't find out. I know the inside story. It was Xie Qiangguo who said it when he was drunk one time. I think it was because of this that the relationship between us changed, and he wanted to drag me into the quagmire as well."

Ji Ling was speechless, "What kind of person is this? Just because he is unhappy, he takes others into account."

"I didn't recognize her well and didn't stay away from her, which caused you harm." Zhou Yuanbin said, "The night before yesterday, your husband came over and I told him about Xu Li. Since he didn't tell you, he must be investigating it himself. Don't think too much about it and don't let any misunderstandings arise between husband and wife."

Zhou Yuanbin could tell from Zhu Weidong's attitude that he had something against him, and he didn't want the conflict between them to escalate because of him.

If she said it in front of outsiders, people would laugh at her.

I simply didn't mention this and just asked Zhou Yuanbin what to do next.

"I want to find Xu Li first and see what Xu Li says. As long as I force Xu Li, Xu Li will definitely be anxious to find Xie Qiangguo, and then we can catch them." Zhou Yuanbin used to care about them as friends, but they wanted to push him into the abyss.

Ji Ling felt sympathy for Zhou Yuanbin. "After discovering that they were together, you were still so calm, which means you have let it go. They were too mean and you shouldn't be sad because of them."

"I've been sad before." Zhou Yuanbin smiled, not thinking it was shameful for a man to be sad, "I'm just ashamed that we almost got you into trouble."

"No one wants something like that to happen. It's over, and we're all fine, aren't we?"

Zhou Yuanbin smiled, "You are right, then I won't disturb you at work, I will contact you anytime if I have any news."

Ji Ling got out of the car and watched the people leave before turning around and walking towards the guard room. She opened the door and shouted inside, "Come out."

Turned and left the guard room.

Stopping not far away, Zhu Weidong followed.

When Ji Ling got up in the morning, Zhu Weidong was not at home. He said he had gone out for something. Ji Ling did not think much about it. It was only when she approached Zhou Yuanbin's car just now that she suddenly saw a head sticking out from the guard room and realized it was Zhu Weidong.

Why else could someone have been waiting here? Ji Ling looked at him coldly, "Explain it."

"I wanted to come over to accompany you, but I was afraid something might happen again, and I was also afraid you might misunderstand, so I stayed outside first."

I'd be surprised if I believed you.

Ji Ling smiled, "Zhu Weidong, it's meaningless for you to say that. You still suspect that there is something going on between me and Zhou Yuanbin, right? By the way, when you went to Zhou Yuanbin at night, he told you that it was Xu Li who did it. Why didn't you tell me about this? You think Xu Li is not that kind of person and would not do such a thing, right?"

"Yes." Zhu Weidong admitted what he was thinking. "Why did Xu Li do this? There must be a reason, right?"

"Zhou Yuanbin fell into a coma after drinking what Xu Li handed him. Do you think Zhou Yuanbin had to tell this lie?"

"Xu Li dares to do this so blatantly. Isn't she afraid that Zhou Yuanbin will tell on her?"

"She's not afraid, but you just don't believe it." Ji Ling replied indifferently.

Zhu Weidong took a deep breath, "Xiaoling, I know you are in a bad mood, and I understand. Can we sit down and talk calmly?"

"The facts are right in front of us. As for why Xu Li did this, it was simply to give Zhou Yuanbin a bad reputation so that she could break up with him and be with Xie Qiangguo." Ji Ling said quickly, "You remember Xie Qiangguo, right? He is Zhou Yuanbin's good friend. Xu Li hooked up with Zhou Yuanbin's good friend. Of course, she was too embarrassed to be together even if they broke up, so she could only use this trick."

"I think you are crazy. What are you talking about? Do you have to be so calculating for such a small matter? Regardless of other things, even if I am calculating, I can't calculate you. I am Master Xu Li, and we have this relationship."
