Jasmine avoided his gaze guiltily and opened her mouth, "I, I said I don't know that person. Who knows who Qi Meng offended? Aunt Xu is like that. I don't know what kind of character the adopted child will have. I... I didn't do anything wrong."
Zhou Muchuan stared at her with a gloomy look in his eyes. The atmosphere in the car suddenly became cold. He asked, "What kind of person is Aunt Xu?"
Jasmine shuddered inexplicably. She didn't know why, but when she saw Zhou Muchuan's gaze, she felt a little goosebumps on her back and instinctively closed her mouth.
Zhou Muchuan stared at her coldly. Time seemed to stand still and the air became very thin. His aura was too strong for a child who had just turned ten years old to bear.
Jasmine bit her lip. Although she didn't understand why this happened, she knew that what she had just said might have touched Zhou Muchuan's sore spot. Uncle Zhou was the best person in the Zhou family to her at the moment, and she must hold on to this thigh tightly.
"I, I was wrong," Jasmine lowered her posture, "Uncle Zhou, I'm sorry."
Zhou Muchuan looked at her with gloomy eyes for a long time before leaning back in his chair. He straightened his sleeves and said coldly, "It's not me you should apologize to."
Jasmine lowered her head, feeling very unconvinced. If she didn't apologize to him, should she apologize to Xu Yansang?
She doesn't want it!
But she pretended to be well-behaved and sensible, nodded and said, "If I have a chance, I will apologize to Aunt Xu."
Zhou Muchuan glanced at him with a cold look and asked, "If I remember correctly, your Aunt Xu has already completed the adoption procedures. Why didn't you go with her in the end, but came to the Zhou family instead?"
Jasmine was stunned for a moment.
"Aunt Qin... Aunt Qin said she liked me, so I..." She didn't know that Qin Sisi adopted her without telling her in advance. Now she was stammering as she tried to explain, not wanting to come across as an ungrateful person.
After all, Zhou Muchuan is a man who controls an entire group. He has seen too many traps in the business world. What is there that he doesn't understand at this moment?
I'm afraid Sisi snatched Jasmine from Xu Yansang.
But why did Sisi snatch Jasmine? They were already married, and she was pregnant, so she didn't need a child to decorate her appearance. Instead, it was Xu Yansang... a woman who couldn't give birth to a child, who needed to adopt someone else's child.
A trace of pity for Xu Yansang flashed through his mind, but it was not much, and he soon thought that Sisi probably didn't know that Xu Yansang planned to adopt Jasmine.
Yes, Sisi has always been a kind woman. Perhaps she learned about the welfare home through participating in charity events and had some contact with Jasmine, so she adopted Jasmine before Xu Yansang.
Thinking of this, Zhou Muchuan tapped his index and middle fingers on the small table. If this was the case, he should apologize to Xu Yansang.
He took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Xu Yansang, "I'm sorry about Jasmine. Sisi didn't mean it. If you need, I can help you make other arrangements."
As soon as the message was sent, a red exclamation mark appeared.
You are not the other party's friend yet, please add a friend first.
Xu Yansang blocked him?
His face darkened and he sent another text message. This time it was sent successfully, but it was hard to say whether Xu Yansang could see it, after all, she had blocked his phone number before.
This woman is really cruel. They have been married for two years, but after the divorce, she just cut off contact.
Zhou Muchuan's eyes were gloomy and unclear. After a while, he said to Special Assistant Wu, "Give me your phone."
Special Assistant Wu quickly handed over the phone.
Zhou Muchuan took his cell phone to call Xu Yansang.
Soon the call was connected, and Xu Yansang's voice rang out, "Hello, hello."
Zhou Muchuan said, "It's me, about Jasmine..."
Before he could finish his words, the phone was hung up.
Zhou Muchuan couldn't believe it and called again, but this time even Special Assistant Wu's number was blocked.
He laughed angrily and threw the phone back to Special Assistant Wu with a cold look. Did he think he was begging her?
It was originally a good intention, but since she was so ignorant, he was too lazy to meddle in her affairs.
Xu Yansang, just go ahead and do what you say. Sooner or later, you will be deserted by everyone and only then will you know how good I am!
Jasmine looked at him cautiously, always feeling that his aura was a little scary. Suddenly Zhou Muchuan looked over and asked her coldly, "Have you thought about your answer?"
Jasmine was startled, "What...what do I answer?"
"The question I asked you just now." Zhou Muchuan looked at her, "Who instructed you to trick Qi Meng out of school?"
Jasmine originally thought that he had forgotten about this matter, but she didn't expect that he still remembered it and was determined to get to the bottom of it.
"Uncle Zhou, I don't know him."
She wasn't lying, she really didn't know him.
"How much money did you take from the other party?" Zhou Muchuan had now seen through Jasmine's true nature, so he asked straight to the point without any nonsense.
Jasmine was silent for a long time, then said with some embarrassment, "He gave me... gave me one hundred thousand."
"A mere 100,000 yuan." Zhou Muchuan sneered, "How poor!"
Jasmine's face flushed with embarrassment, her eyes were wet with grievance, and she felt very uncomfortable. Is one hundred thousand yuan a small amount? She had never owned even one hundred yuan in her life. One hundred thousand yuan was a lot for her.
She gritted her teeth and swallowed back her tears, telling herself, it’s okay, you now have a whole black card and you can buy whatever you want.
No one would laugh at her for being poor anymore.
Zhou Muchuan glanced at her, lit a cigarette, took a puff and asked, "The person who is looking for you is an adult? A man?"
Jasmine nodded.
At this point, there was no point in her hiding it.
Then he took the initiative to continue, "It happened last night. A man in black clothes found me and asked me to help him ask Qi Meng out at school the next day."
She originally thought that the other party was crazy. She had just arrived at the Zhou family and no one had arranged a school for her. How could the other party be sure that she and that girl were in the same school?
But looking at the 100,000 yuan, he thought it would be a waste not to take it, so he agreed casually.
Unexpectedly, Special Assistant Wu really came the next day and took her to the school.
After hearing what Moli said, Zhou Muchuan's face darkened. He ignored Moli and said to Special Assistant Wu, "Take over the surveillance camera at the villa."
Special Assistant Wu responded, made a phone call, and quickly said, "Mr. Zhou, it's OK."
Zhou Muchuan was flipping through the surveillance footage from last night, and sure enough, he saw a man in black clothes in the corner of the villa's gate.
He stared at the man until he completely disappeared from the surveillance screen.
He raised his eyes and ordered in a cold voice, "Get out of the car, take Jasmine and take a taxi back."
Special Assistant Wu was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know why, he still got out of the car with Jasmine.
Zhou Muchuan sat in the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car flew out suddenly.
Jasmine felt a little uncomfortable and asked Special Assistant Wu, "Do we really need to take a taxi back? Can we ask our family to send a car to pick us up?"
Special Assistant Wu looked at her in confusion. Is there something wrong with this kid's brain? Has she read too many novels about wealthy families?
It’s so troublesome to have my family send a car over. How can it be as convenient as taking a taxi?
I wanted to retort, but thinking of her identity, I finally just said, "Let's go."
He hailed a taxi and got in first.
Seeing this, Jasmine had no choice but to follow him, but she was still a little unhappy. She was now the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, but she was driving a taxi.
That's too humble.
Zhou Muchuan drove all the way to the suburbs and stopped in front of a small workshop producing body bags. He opened the door, stepped out with his long legs, strode to the tightly closed door of the workshop, suddenly raised his leg, and kicked the door hard.
The flimsy door could not withstand such violence and wobbled open.
Zhou Muchuan walked in with a cold face. A worker came up to him and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Muchuan grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up, and asked in a cold voice, "Where's Zheng Jie?"
The worker said in horror, "Boss Zheng has gone home... We are all workers here, we don't know anything, let me go..."
Zhou Muchuan threw the man to the side and turned away.
He drove to Zheng's house again.
Zheng Jie was drinking heavily at home. When he saw Zhou Muchuan, he took a few steps back in fear and almost fell to the ground. "Why are you here?"
Zhou Muchuan grabbed him and asked sternly, "You went to my house last night? Did you kidnap Qi Xin's wife and daughter?"
Zheng Jie struggled for a few times, pushed him away, and then frowned and said, "So what if I did it, I..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Muchuan punched him in the face!
Although Zheng Jie is big and strong, he cannot compare with Zhou Muchuan who has been exercising all year round. After just a few rounds, he was pinned to the ground by Zhou Muchuan. Zhou Muchuan pinched his neck, pressed the back of his head, and stepped on his lower back. Zheng Jie could not move at all.
"What are you doing!" He shouted in intolerance, "Mr. Zhou, we all prosper together and suffer together. If you dare to touch me, believe it or not, I will..."
"What do I believe or not believe about you?" Zhou Muchuan asked viciously with murderous intent in his eyes, "You think you haven't had enough troubles, and you have to attract the attention of the police? I don't care how you want to die, but don't forget that we were all in the same boat three years ago. Why don't you just stay quiet and stay out of trouble?!"
Zheng Jie cursed, "My sister is gone, is it wrong for me to screw Qi Xin? I just want to force him to death. If it weren't for him, my sister wouldn't have died. He and I have a blood feud. I'm not only going to screw his wife and daughter, I'm also going to screw his parents! Bah!"
Zhou Muchuan's chest rose and fell violently, and he glared at Zheng Jie fiercely, "Your sister's death cannot be blamed on Qi Xin. If you want to blame someone, blame her for being targeted. You didn't even know who was targeting her behind the scenes, but you acted rashly. You are giving others a handle, do you understand?"
When Zheng Jie heard this, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and he said uncertainly, "I did it very secretly. I never showed my face from beginning to end. No one should find out about it, right?"
Zhou Muchuan sneered, "Isn't it a little late for you to think about this now?"
Zheng Jie hurriedly said, "Brother Zhou, what should I do now? Give me some advice."
Zhou Muchuan let him go, turned around, took a tissue and wiped his hands, then sat down on a chair and said coldly, "Let the mother and daughter go, and don't get involved in Qi Xin's affairs anymore. Just stay put and be your dog!"
Zheng Jie's eyes were evasive, "Ah, I..."
Zhou Muchuan had a bad feeling in his heart and looked up at him, "Where are the mother and daughter?"
Zheng Jie avoided his gaze and said uncomfortably, "Dead..."
Zhou Muchuan's pupils shrank sharply, "What, dead?"
"What, dead?"
Xu Yansang had difficulty breathing. She grabbed Fu Zhenzhuo's arm and asked with difficulty, "What do you mean... dead? Are you talking about Qi Meng or her mother?"
Fu Zhenzhuo grabbed her hand and said with some concern, "Yan Sang, don't get excited yet. Sit down and I will tell you the whole story."
Xu Yansang was like a walking corpse, and was helped by him to sit on the chair.
She had faced death only a few times in her life. She had grown up in a warm and loving environment. The only experience she had was when her parents were in a car accident three years ago and her mother died on the spot.
Death is an indescribable pain for her, and she has always found it difficult to accept anything about death.
Not to mention the death of the very people you wanted to help.
After she came back from Qi Meng's school today, she had been feeling uneasy, so she asked for two hours off in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, Fu Zhenzhuo was also there. She told him what happened at school at noon, and Fu Zhenzhuo said he had a friend who could help check it out.
She didn't have much hope at first, but she didn't expect that in just half an hour, he would tell her that the person was dead?
The police haven't released any news yet, and she finds it hard to accept what Fu Zhen said.
Fu Zhentao looked at her distraught appearance and felt a hint of guilt in his heart. This incident should have been prevented.
But because Qi Meng and her daughter had only met Xu Yansang a few times and they were not people she cared about that much, he just sent two people to keep an eye on Qi Meng's school in order to help her, and did not pay too much attention to it.
But at noon today, the two men brought news that Qi Meng had been taken away. He speculated that the people who kidnapped Qi Meng and her mother might be the same group of people, so he did not let the two men show up, but asked them to follow.
As expected, the two men followed the kidnappers to their lair and met Qi Meng's mother.
The original intention was to rescue both Qi Meng and her mother, but Qi Meng's mother had been tortured for several days and had difficulty walking. When she left, she alarmed the kidnappers.
Who would have thought that the other party was carrying a gun.
He first shot Qi Meng's mother in the head, and Qi Meng's mother died on the spot.
When his people were about to take Qi Meng away, Qi Meng suddenly rushed out, threw herself on her mother, and said that she wanted to stay with her mother forever.
The kidnapper shot her again.
The situation was urgent and his men had no choice but to escape quickly.
If he had known this would happen, he should have made more careful arrangements. At least, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
He looked at Xu Yansang, who was still in shock and unable to accept this fact. After a while, he spoke softly and answered her question, "Qi Meng and her mother are both dead."
