After five years of a cold marriage, I can no longer hide the child I secretly gave birth to.

Zhou Yanci stared at the disappearing figure for a long time, so long that he went over the whole story, from the first time he met Xu Daikui to the incident on their wedding night, countless times.

He recalled his initial curiosity about her when they first met, and how he gradually noticed that there was such a person in his class.

Her calmness and reserved nature aroused his deep curiosity.

He saw his childhood self in her: a dysfunctional family, a loveless father, and a mother preoccupied with her own problems…

His long-term depression and loneliness made it difficult for him to experience joy.

Within her closed-off heart, Xu Daikui was that sliver of light that shone through.

Observing her every day became a source of amusement in his dull life.

Until the first time they truly crossed paths.

Xu Guodong harshly reprimanded her and even hit her; his secret spying turned into an active one.

Once you take the initiative, you can do it countless times.

Since then, he has provided assistance whenever she encounters difficulties.

It's also possible that his behavior drew her attention to him.

He took it for granted that it must be love, only to find out in the end that it was all premeditated.

Xu Daikui didn't like him at all; she drugged him to get close to him because of a dead person.

Now that he has lost his usefulness, he is not surprised at all that she will divorce him.

But that jar of stars…

The words were sincere, yet they didn't seem fake.

I stayed in the corridor until it was completely dark...

He dragged his heavy steps home, then opened the entire jar of stars and read the words word by word.

He didn't believe that those thousand-plus sheets of paper were all an act.

He didn't believe that she really had no feelings for him at all.

As soon as Xu Jiaojiao entered the police station, Li Xuelan and Xu Guodong began to pull strings and make connections.

They originally wanted to use Zhou Yanci's connection, but for some reason, the man kept refusing to answer their calls.

They tried calling several different numbers, but no one answered.

He's probably busy dealing with group matters and doesn't have time to look at his phone.

They had no choice but to find another way, and after spending hundreds of thousands of yuan, Xu Jiaojiao was released on bail that very night.

The police department eventually divided the responsibility, splitting it 30/70.

Xu Jiaojiao only needs to compensate Attorney Nian for all medical expenses, emotional distress damages, and vehicle repair costs.

The first thing she did after getting out was to use her connections to meet with Bai Weiwei at the police station.

"Weiwei, just admit to the car accident. Just insist that Wang Guang took nude photos of you and threatened you, which is why you deliberately retaliated against him. That's all. Anyway, the car has been burned to a crisp. Whatever you say can become the truth. They won't be able to find any evidence. At most, you'll only get a few months in prison."

"Once this storm passes, I'll pay to bail you out. You'll only need to stay in there for about ten days."

Bai Weiwei was very scared just now, but after Xu Jiaojiao said that, she felt completely at ease.

She nodded hurriedly, "Okay, Jiaojiao, I won't expose this to you, but you need to hurry up and make your move on Tang Xuan. She's almost two months pregnant, and it'll be harder to make a move if her belly gets any bigger. I'm still waiting for Minghao to marry me."

Xu Jiaojiao laughed, "Of course, the Zhou Group's annual meeting is the day after tomorrow. Fu Minghao will definitely come. I will find a way to get Tang Xuan to come too. Don't worry, I will eliminate anyone who stands in our way without hesitation."

"Yes, I believe you."

Seeing that Bai Weiwei completely trusted her, Xu Jiaojiao's crisis was over. She stood up, held her head high, and walked out of the police station with great confidence.

But in the courtyard of the police station, she ran into Fu Minghao, who was rushing over.

Seeing the man's anxious expression, Xu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Minghao, you're finally here. Weiwei has been worried about you the whole time inside."

A chill ran through Fu Minghao's eyes. "What's wrong with her? Why would she order thugs to kill someone?"

Fu Minghao was utterly shocked after hearing Zhou Yanci's phone call.

Xu Jiaojiao had already prepared a story: "Weiwei naturally has her reasons. It's all the man's fault for opening the hospital with Dai Kui. He hired Weiwei as a nurse at his hospital, and when he saw that she was beautiful and all alone in Beijing, he had malicious intentions. He secretly took private photos of Weiwei to blackmail her. Weiwei doesn't like him and refused to give in. In the end, she was forced into a corner and had no choice but to resort to this. Weiwei is so pitiful!"

Fu Minghao never expected that Bai Weiwei would end up in such a miserable state after he stopped taking care of her.

The two families were old friends, and before his grandfather passed away, he entrusted him to take good care of Weiwei, so he really couldn't just abandon her.

"Okay, I'll go in and check on her."

"Then you should go quickly."

Xu Jiaojiao quickly made way for him. The Fu family was the second largest conglomerate in Beijing after the Zhou family. As long as Fu Minghao was willing to bail Bai Weiwei out, she wouldn't have to risk spending money and energy.

With a smile playing on her lips, she left the hospital and called the Lin couple, who were specifically there to do her bad deeds.

"Tonight, have your wife disguise herself as a nurse and steal some documents for me at the hospital."

Now that she can destroy that document, Xu Daikui won't be a threat to her for a while. In the next few days, she needs to think carefully about how to completely eliminate Xu Daikui.

Xu Daikui and Xu Meng waited outside the emergency room for more than two hours before the doctor finally wheeled Lawyer Nian out.

"Who are the family members? The patient is out of danger and is being moved to the ward. Someone needs to stay with him tonight."

"Okay, okay, sigh."

The lawyer's wife immediately stepped forward to respond.

Xu Daikui went over to help, and the group pushed Lawyer Nian into the ward.

The lawyer woke up shortly afterward.

Although he hit his head in the car accident, it wasn't serious.

When Xu Daikui saw his pale face, she realized that she had dragged him down.

She apologized, "Attorney Nian, I'm so sorry. I never expected something like this to happen to you in front of the police station. Dean Wang and I were very worried about you."

Attorney Nian shook his head. "I didn't expect to encounter such a sudden misfortune, Ms. Xu. I'm afraid I can't take on your case for the time being. I'll have my colleague handle it for you."

Xu Daikui nodded. "Thank you."

"Where's my bag of documents? I'd like to take it back first, and I'll contact your lawyer tomorrow to go and collect it in person."

She asked, looking around his hospital bed.

The lawyer frowned, but before he could speak, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a nurse wearing a mask walked in.

Xu Daikui met her gaze, and the other woman immediately looked away as if she had done something wrong, and quickly retreated.

A familiar feeling flashed through Xu Daikui's mind.

The nurse's eyes just now looked very familiar.

She looks a lot like that girl who stripped herself naked last time and deliberately framed Shen Jun.

What is she doing here?

And he even disguised himself as a nurse?

After experiencing several bizarre and dangerous situations, Xu Daikui has now developed a strong sense of vigilance.

She looked up towards the door and noticed that the figure hadn't left after going out; it seemed to be eavesdropping on their conversation.

She quickly gestured for the lawyers to be quiet.

He then sent a message to Shen Jun.

A moment later, they heard a security guard's voice questioning them from the ward door, "You're not a nurse here at all. Tell me, what are you trying to do by sneaking in?"

Hearing the commotion, Xu Daikui immediately went outside and saw that the girl had been restrained by two security guards, and Shen Jun had also arrived.

He sensed something was wrong and quickly removed the girl's mask.

"Are you the fraudster?"

The girl who tried to slander his innocence last time, but ended up losing out and being warned and fined by the police.

"I..."

When the girl realized she had been exposed, she trembled and couldn't speak.

"Who sent you to spy on us? What's your purpose?"

Xu Daikui looked at the girl coldly and said, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll call the police right now. You already have a criminal record. Let's see if you can get out of prison unscathed this time!"

The girl trembled and remained silent. The security guard, enraged, slapped her. "Impersonating medical staff! What are you trying to do? Speak up!"

"I...I'm not me..." the girl shook her head vigorously.

"Then go tell the police."

Xu Daikui didn't want to dawdle any longer and took out her phone.

Seeing that Xu Daikui was really going to call the police, the girl bit her lip, "Yes, it's Dr. Xu..."
