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

"Assistant Fang, could you come to the police station with me?"

Fang Qing has Zhou Yanci's connections. The matter of Shen Jun being framed last time was left unresolved, and now Wang Guang is involved in this kind of thing. She wants to believe it's an accident, but she can't shake the unease in her heart.

After all, the people who got into trouble one after another were all people close to her.

She suspected that someone was trying to take advantage of her success and was deliberately targeting her.

And every time something happens, Xu Jiaojiao will appear at just the right time, most likely because the person who can't stand to see her doing well is that mother and daughter.

Her actions today might be related to Zhou Yanci's strange behavior lately.

For a man, she's shameless enough, but now she's even willing to kill...

She refused to believe that every time she committed a crime, they could find no trace of her.

"Okay, no problem."

Fang Qing instructed Xie Jia and Shen Jun to stay with Wang Guang, while she and Xu Daikui left the hospital.

Zhou Yanci opened his eyes, feeling a wave of dizziness.

I drank so much last night that I blacked out; I don't even remember how I got to the hotel.

I sat up and looked around. There was a sticky note on the table.

He picked it up and saw it was a message from Fu Minghao.

[Next time you drink like a madman, don't call me. Do you know how I carried you to the hotel last night? Everyone thinks I'm gay! You've ruined my reputation!!!]

Zhou Yanci calmly finished reading the message, threw the childish note into the trash can, and then turned his gaze to the jar of stars on the table.

It was shining brightly in the sunlight.

It's like a rare and precious treasure.

He stared blankly for a while, then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After I came out, I found my phone and plugged it in to charge. A flood of messages came in.

The first one he noticed was Mu En.

Upon seeing the message, his gaze sharpened, and he immediately grabbed his coat and headed out.

Downstairs, Mu En was waiting for him in his car.

As soon as he got into the car, Mu En immediately reported with a serious expression.

"President Zhou, something has happened to the group. This morning, your father and your brother drafted an agreement for the new president to take office. They also secretly transferred company assets and funds through internal procedures, and borrowed money from clients everywhere. They are currently gathering all shareholders in the conference room to sign the agreement. You need to go there immediately."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanci's gaze remained as calm as a still pond.

He gave a curt "Mmm," and said, "Going to the company."

"it is good."

Mu En accelerated, and the car quickly drove onto the asphalt road. He looked through the rearview mirror at the man leaning against the back seat, his eyes half-closed.

After hesitating for a while, he still said, "There's one more thing. My wife was in a car accident at noon today and is currently at the People's Hospital."

Zhou Yanci had been secretly instructing him to keep an eye on Xu Daikui's movements, and he would naturally report her whereabouts immediately.

Car accident?

Zhou Yanci suddenly opened his eyes, feeling as if a needle had pierced his heart.

A great sadness enveloped him.

"Turn around!"

A cold sound came.

Mu En hesitated, "But if you don't go to the group now, I'm afraid your father and his men will soon drain their coffers..."

"Turn around!"

Two resounding words rang out, carrying a strong sense of impatience.

Mu En had no choice but to change direction and drive toward the hospital at top speed.

Because the man's coldness was so overwhelming, he was afraid that if he drove too slowly, he would be thrown out of the car, so he practically floored the accelerator.

He really wanted to live a few more years.

.....

The car arrived at the hospital quickly.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Zhou Yanci quickly opened the door and got out. Mu En wanted to say that his wife was not injured, but the man did not give him the chance.

Xu Jiaojiao asked the vice president for a short leave, then took off her white coat and changed into a light and bright dress. As soon as she walked out of the hospital lobby, she saw the man she had been thinking about all night walking towards her.

Wearing a sleek black suit, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his model-like physique paired with his perfectly proportioned supermodel face makes him a truly global heartthrob.

She rushed forward, "Aci, where did you go today? Why was your phone switched off?"

"Something's up."

As Zhou Yanci spoke, he walked around her and headed towards the hall.

Seeing his anxious look, could it be that he was worried about Xu Daikui, that thing that even pigs and dogs dislike?

She took a deep breath, quickly turned around and caught up with him, grabbing his sleeve.

"Aci, Daikui is alright. Mom and I just went to see her. Wang Guang was the one who was seriously injured. He protected Daikui very well the whole time; she didn't even get a scratch..."

Zhou Yanci's heart suddenly settled.

Xu Jiaojiao then gripped his sleeve tightly and said, "I heard something happened at the company, and Auntie fell ill from the shock. I took leave to go see her. Will you come with me?"

Xu Daikui and Fang Qing had just stepped out of the elevator and were walking towards the lobby when they saw Xu Jiaojiao clinging to Zhou Yanci's arm, saying something in a soft and delicate voice.

Oh.

They always have to linger in the hospital, don't they find it unlucky?

Zhou Yanci accused me last night of not caring about his injuries, calling me a lunatic, practically schizophrenic.

If she were run over by that car today and her body were never recovered, it would probably be a good death for him too.

...

Noticing a cold gaze on the back of her head, Xu Jiaojiao turned around abruptly and saw Xu Daikui standing there with a deathly pale face.

She smiled slightly, then turned to look at Zhou Yanci, "See? I told you Dai Kui was alright, wasn't she? She's still lively and energetic."

Zhou Yanci noticed the woman's appearance and stood there completely still.

Their eyes met, but Xu Daikui didn't linger for a second before turning her face away and striding towards the door.

When Fang Qing saw Zhou Yanci, he felt a sudden sense of panic, as if he had been caught slacking off by his boss. He scratched his head awkwardly, greeted Zhou Yanci, and then followed Xu Daikui away.

The two hadn't walked far when a cold, deep voice sounded from behind them.

"stop!"

Fang Qing sensed something was wrong and immediately stopped in his tracks.

Xu Daikui then stopped.

"Assistant Fang, look at you, you're even more relaxed than me, the boss!"

Zhou Yanci turned around, his deep gaze falling on the two of them.

Xu Jiaojiao smiled to herself; she loved how Zhou Yanci didn't take Xu Daikui seriously.

His loathing for her made her happier than if she had won a billion-dollar lottery.

Upon hearing the teasing, Fang Qing didn't have time to think. The high salary immediately made him turn back, and he respectfully walked up to Zhou Yanci.

"Mr. Zhou, your wife has some urgent business and asked me to give her a ride. It won't take long; I'll be right back..."

"Take Miss Xu to West Lake Bay."

Before he could finish speaking, he was coldly interrupted by the man.

Fang Qing naturally understood that the Miss Xu he was referring to was Xu Jiaojiao, and he tried to explain, "But Madam..."

"You can choose not to send it and find another job."

The man's attitude was assertive and left no room for argument.

Xu Daikui naturally knew why Zhou Yanci was targeting Fang Qing. He actually wanted to suppress her, but he couldn't find a suitable reason, so he deliberately made things difficult for Fang Qing.

Moreover, what is her status, and what qualifications does she have to compete with Xu Jiaojiao for the right to order his assistant around?

She overestimated herself.

She turned around, her small face calm and expressionless, her eyes devoid of any emotion. "Assistant Fang, I can manage on my own. You can go and see Miss Xu off."

After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the hospital.

Walking along the tree-lined avenue, she opened her phone app, preparing to hail a Didi taxi to the police station.

My brain feels dizzy again.

She had stayed up all night, suffered several shocks today, and was disgusted by that couple just now. Her head was buzzing and she felt dizzy and lightheaded.

It seems my anemia has worsened.

As their gazes met, a tall, slender figure in black approached her, the powerful aura completely blocking out the last bit of sunlight above her head.

Her vision went black, her body slumped to the side, and she completely lost consciousness.
