Xu Manli was restless after returning to the guesthouse. Unlike Shi Liu and the others, she had been in this world for five years. Before, she had done a lot of tricks relying on her prophetic power and family background. These things were nothing in the future, but now, she would be thrown into the Great Northern Wilderness to open up wasteland.
That bastard Zhou Pan might really expose his own affairs to please Shi Liu. Xu Manli believed that Zhou Pan was definitely not a quiet person. He had done many of these things as well. However, Zhou Pan was always careful in his actions, and she was afraid that she would not be able to find any evidence against him. Besides, the Zhou family in this world was a small family, and she could not plot against the heir of the Zhou family just because she wanted to.
After thinking about all sorts of things, Xu Manli felt more and more troubled. She had to dispel Zhou Pan's hostility and show that she had no improper thoughts about him. Of course, she would not do anything that would harm Shi Liu.
I have to admit that Xu Manli is worthy of being the former enemy. She guessed Zhou Pan's actions clearly.
As soon as Zhou Pan returned to the office, he arranged for people to start investigating Xu Manli's affairs. Xu Manli still underestimated his strength.
It only took three or four hours from the time Zhou Pan gave the order to the time he got the information he wanted.
Zhou Fangxing looked at the investigation materials and rubbed his teeth: "Tsk, this woman is really not a peaceful one. However, how could your old man like such a woman? Is there something wrong with his vision?" Apart from anything else, her ability to stir up trouble is simply that of a troublemaker.
Zhou Pan sneered and said disdainfully: "When has our old man's vision in choosing women ever been better?"
As Zhou Pan's confidant, Zhou Fangxing knows all about the mess in the Zhou family. It seems that Grandpa Zhou only considers family background and appearance when choosing women. If Grandpa Zhou had not been strict with his juniors, the next generation might have been ruined under the influence of those mothers.
"Boss, how should we deal with Xu Manli? Should we report these things?" All these crimes added up to a considerable amount.
Zhou Pan tapped the table lightly with his index finger. He had no good feelings towards Xu Manli, but he had to consider the Xu family. The Xu family was able to remain so stable in the face of such a storm, and they were not easy to deal with.
"Xu Manli is easy to deal with. She has a lot of little tricks and we can find any excuse to drive her into the abyss, but the Xu family is not easy to deal with. Even if Xu Manli is a bad person, she is still a member of the Xu family. I heard that Mr. Xu dotes on her very much. If we take action against Xu Manli, Mr. Xu will not sit idly by."
Zhou Fangxing knew this very well. This was the so-called "beat the young and the old will come". If he really took action against Xu Manli, there was no guarantee that Old Man Xu would not take action against the Zhou family's children. He had helped the boss investigate the Zhou family, so he naturally knew that many of the Zhou family's children acted excessively and did no better than Xu Manli.
Thinking of Xu Manli's contemptuous look, Zhou Fangxing felt unhappy: "I can't just let her go like this!"
"Of course." Not to mention Zhou Fangxing, even Zhou Pan couldn't swallow this breath. "Xu Manli is greedy for money. She has used her family background to collect good things over the years. Let our people move those things to another place. I don't think she would dare to search for them on a large scale."
Zhou Fangxing thought of the good things that Xu Manli had embezzled over the years, and smiled with glee: "Boss, this woman is really good at making money. We don't have many good things in our hands." He followed Zhou Pan to work, so Zhou Pan naturally would not treat him unfairly and would share some of the good things with him.
What Zhou Pan didn't say was that he was worried that after Xu Manli was arrested, she would become desperate and reveal the secret between him and Shi Liu. After all, many things could not stand scrutiny, and even he could not guarantee that everything was done perfectly. So for the time being, just let Xu Manli lose money. If she no longer appeared in front of them in the future, it would not be impossible to let her go.
Xu Manli was still very cautious in doing things. She didn't tell anyone except herself where she hid her treasures. However, she could not resist the speculation of some people. Just when she was wondering why Zhou Pan didn't take any action, she found that Zhou Pan had almost stolen all her fortune.
Zhou Pan turned around and told Shi Liu about this: "After a while, I will put all those things into the space to prevent them from being stolen like Xu Manli one day."
Shi Liu laughed happily: "Xu Manli would be furious if she knew that you used her as a negative example." That woman was the most hypocritical. It was obvious that she was attracted to Zhou Pandu's status, but she used the guise of true love to disgust him.
When Zhou Pan saw Shi Liu smiling happily, he knew that Xu Manli's matter did not make her unhappy, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are planning to leave tomorrow. It seems that our old man won't be able to see you anymore."
Shi Liu didn't want to see Mr. Zhou at all. This old man had been stirring up trouble between them all the time, which made her very sick. Anyway, Shi Liu didn't have any good feelings towards him at all.
Pomegranate said lazily, "It's better not to see him. I'm too lazy to talk to the old stubborn man."
Even if Mr. Zhou acknowledged her identity, he might not be happy to see it happen. He would probably have nothing nice to say to her when he saw her. Shi Liu didn't deserve to be abused, and she didn't seek trouble.
Zhou Pan also felt that his grandfather was not a knowledgeable person and who knew what he would say if he came, so he simply did not stop Shi Liu from leaving: "Okay, I'll ask Zhou Fangxing to buy a sleeper ticket later."
Pomegranate: "Can I buy a sleeper ticket for tomorrow at this hour?"
Zhou Pan: "Don't worry, you can definitely buy one. In fact, few people are willing to buy sleeper tickets nowadays. After all, the price is quite high. It's just that most people can't afford them."
Shi Liu didn’t quite understand these things, but since Zhou Pan said it could be bought, she stopped worrying about it.
The next morning, Zhou Pan and Zhou Fangxing came to find them early, took them to the cafeteria to have a seafood meal, and then hurried to the train station.
Zhou Pan looked at the sweat on Shi Liu's forehead and complained to Zhou Fangxing with some distress: "Why did you buy the ticket so early?"
Zhou Fangxing was also helpless: "I originally wanted to buy a ticket for the next train, but the sleeper and seat tickets for the next train were sold out long ago. I can't buy a standing ticket. The distance between Hai City and Shan Province is not short. Standing all the way will definitely make my legs tired."
Zhou Pan hadn't expected this to happen: "Forget it, just keep an eye on them. It's getting increasingly unsafe on the train these days."
Two grown men protected Shi Liu and the other one got on the train. Zhou Pan looked around the carriage and felt very dissatisfied, but the conditions were like this now. He could only let Shi Liu down temporarily and everything would be fine after a few years.
Watching Zhou Pan get off the train, Shi Liu felt a little sad about parting. Fortunately, with the island space, it was quite easy for her to see Zhou Pan. Thinking of this, Shi Liu also had the mind to look at the scenery outside the window.
When Shi Liu turned around, she saw Zhou Fangxing asking Sister Juanzi about her well-being. Shi Liu suddenly felt a toothache. She had eaten quite a full meal in the morning, so why did he rush to feed her dog food? (End of this chapter)
