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

Once downstairs, she didn't hesitate and immediately dialed the police.

After all, no matter how awful Zhou Yanci is, he is still a human life.

After calling the police, she walked to the Maybach, picked up Xu Meng, and looked at Mu En.

"Your boss is being attacked upstairs."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Mu En immediately made a phone call to call for help and rushed upstairs.

Xu Daikui glanced back at the 33rd floor again.

"Zhou Yanci, may you have good fortune."

With a sigh, she didn't hesitate any longer and immediately left this place of trouble with Mengmeng in her hand.

They rushed to the hospital where Wang Guang was.

Xie Jia just came out of the ward.

"You can go in later. Many of Wang Guang's relatives are inside, including his son..."

Xie Jia advised her.

Xu Daikui thought about it and realized that she really didn't need to meet his family.

"Is he awake now? Has the doctor said where he's injured?"

She was quite worried.

Xie Jia, "She's awake. It seems she injured her back and leg, but it shouldn't be fatal."

"Have you made any progress in investigating the car accident?"

Xu Daikui shook her head and briefly recounted how she was kidnapped by Zhou Nianting on the way and how Zhou Yanci came to rescue her.

Xie Jia felt like she had stumbled upon a major scandal involving a wealthy family. She never expected that Zhou Yanci's father would be so unscrupulous.

"So, Zhou Yanci's womanizing ways are all inherited from his father?"

Xu Daikui smiled and said, "He wouldn't call himself a womanizer. Over the years, I've only ever seen Xu Jiaojiao by his side. Even I, his wife, haven't been able to make him break his vow."

She noticed him back in high school, when he and Xu Jiaojiao already had a pretty good relationship.

At that time, Zhou Yanci was a cool and aloof academic genius. He was handsome but didn't talk much and didn't like to socialize. He only occasionally met and talked with Xu Jiaojiao.

It seems that he had feelings for Xu Jiaojiao from that time on. As for himself, he probably only became curious after they drank something dirty and took a nap.

"Fine, then why didn't he just marry Xu Jiaojiao a long time ago? Why did he have to ruin you?"

Xu Daikui didn't know either.

A man's heart is unfathomable, let alone a man like Zhou Yanci who never shows his emotions.

...

The two gossiped for a long time. When it was time for dinner, Xie Jia went home, while Xu Daikui and Mengmeng ate noodles outside.

Then I bought a fruit basket and went upstairs to see Wang Guang.

By this time, almost everyone had left the ward, leaving only Wang Guang's sister and his son.

Seeing that she was safe and sound, Wang Guang felt much more at ease.

He looked at his son and said, "You and your aunt should go back. There are caregivers here."

His son's expression darkened when he saw that Xu Daikui hadn't left, even though he had only driven him and his aunt away.

But he didn't say anything, and turned and left.

The ward quieted down. Mengmeng went to the balcony to read comic books, Wang Guang said, watching her.

"Dai Kui, this incident was not an accident. It's likely that the Xu family or Dean Zhao knew we were investigating them."

Xu Daikui agreed, "You also think the Xu family instigated it?"

"Yes, they even hacked into my computer just now. Luckily, my secretary always takes care of my things. He has a lot of experience in archiving, so the data wasn't stolen."

Xu Daikui frowned. "But how did Xu Jiaojiao find out? She even staged a car accident; was she trying to kill you?"

Wang Guang smiled and shook his head. "No, if she wanted to kill me, she would have hired a big truck today."

"This morning I had prepared information about the Xu family mother and daughter laundering money for you, but I suspect they heard about it and are trying to destroy the information."

That makes sense; that's why the car was completely burned.

As Wang Guang spoke, the image of Bai Weiwei wiping the table flashed through his mind again.

For so many years, he had been very discreet in his investigation of Dean Zhao and the Xu family, except for that one day when he forgot about the file package.

If we're talking about suspects who have seen the information, Bai Weiwei is the only one.

Xu Daikui felt a little guilty. "Dean, I've dragged you into this. But don't worry, I've told the police my suspicions, and they've already started investigating the driver who caused the accident. I believe we'll have results soon."

Wang Guang said, "There's no need to talk about us being implicated. I'm already aware of this matter. Since they dare to openly hurt people, why don't we turn the tables and make sure the Xu family can never recover?"

Xu Daikui thought about how Xu Jiaojiao had impersonated her to work, instigated someone to commit murder, and framed Shen Jun. Once there was solid evidence of these things, she wouldn't be able to get out of prison for at least seven or eight years.

However, if Zhou Yanci were to stand up for her, even the police might not be able to do anything to her.

"Don't overthink it, leave the rest to me."

Seeing her looking worried, Wang Guang immediately comforted her.

He was careless today because he wasn't on guard against Bai Weiwei; they won't be so lucky next time.

"Okay, let's wait for the police report first. Don't worry too much, get some rest. I'll go peel an apple for you."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Wang Guang couldn't imagine how sweet the apple she peeled would be; his gentle, smiling gaze followed her graceful figure.

A week passed in the blink of an eye. Xu Daikui was browsing Weibo when she saw a news report that the internal strife within the Zhou family was escalating, with the directors and shareholders even splitting into two groups and publicly attacking each other online.

Zhou Nianting has also frequently appeared on various social media platforms, claiming that Zhou Yanci is a wolf in sheep's clothing, disloyal and unfilial, and that the Zhou family's business must not fall into his hands. He also claims that their new heir will soon come out to take charge of the situation.

Zhou Yanci has not made a public appearance, and his public relations team has only released one response in response to all the public opinion.

We will not be responding at this time. We will provide an explanation at the annual meeting on February 8th.

It seems the annual meeting will indeed be held as scheduled. Xu Daikui doesn't know what Zhou Yanci's explanation was, but he promised her that he would sign the divorce agreement after the annual meeting.

Hopefully, this time, he wasn't lying to himself.

West Lake Bay.

Xu Jiaojiao visited Wen Yayun again.

"Auntie, how have you been feeling these past few days?"

Wen Yayun leaned back on the sofa, her face looking somewhat haggard. "It's still the same old story. I don't know how much longer I can live, but if that old bastard Zhou Nianting doesn't die, I won't be able to die in peace..."

"Mom, why are you saying such unlucky things in front of outsiders?"

Zhou Yingying sat on the sofa, hugging her teddy bear, and glanced at Xu Jiaojiao with considerable dissatisfaction.

"You brat! How can your beloved sister Jiaojiao be considered an outsider? She and your second brother are getting engaged on the sixth day of the new year. She'll be your sister-in-law soon. Don't be so disrespectful!"

"What? You guys are actually serious?"

Zhou Yingying didn't understand. "But Second Brother and Sister-in-law aren't divorced yet! Marrying two wives? Do you think the law is just for show?"

Wen Yayun looked disdainful. "Divorce is just a matter of minutes. Divorce in the morning, engagement at noon, seamless transition, no impact on either. You're just a kid, mind your studies. You don't understand adult matters, so don't interfere."

She had been feeling down these past few days, and Xu Jiaojiao had been patiently by her side. In addition, Xu Jiaojiao had given her a blood transfusion before, so Wen Yayun now treated her even better than her own daughter.

She felt that marrying a daughter-in-law like Xu Jiaojiao would be an incredibly auspicious thing, like her ancestors' graves emitting auspicious smoke.

"Mom, you've really gone too far!"

Zhou Yingying was so angry that she was speechless. She hugged her little teddy bear and stormed off.

Seeing her like this, Wen Yayun felt a vague discomfort in her heart again.

Xu Jiaojiao quickly patted her back to help her catch her breath, "Auntie, it's okay. As long as Aci and I are together, we don't care about what others say."

"Good boy..."

Wen Yayun patted the back of her hand.

Xu Jiaojiao's charming eyes lit up again. "Auntie, I see you don't look well lately. I'm afraid you're severely depleted of qi and blood. Let's go to the hospital today. I'll give you some blood transfusion so you can feel better."
