A sharp sound of sudden brakes rang out on the dark and empty road, like a thunder tearing through the darkness and releasing a huge monster.

Zhou Muchuan gripped the steering wheel tightly and stopped the car on the side of the road. He couldn't believe what he heard. "The company was attacked? What are those elites in the cybersecurity department doing?!"

Special Assistant Wu said in a panic, "Boss Zhou, this happened too suddenly, and the cybersecurity department didn't have time to react..."

The main thing is that it’s late at night, and even the employees of the Internet Information Department need to rest.

Although two employees on duty discovered the problem in time, it still takes time to fix the vulnerability.

How could Zhou Muchuan not understand this? He had always listed the Zhou Group's network security as a top priority, especially the firewall, which he had always been proud of. He did not expect that it would be breached so easily.

He took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Call all employees back to work overtime and fix the loopholes as soon as possible. Last month's account..."

He was silent for a moment, but he couldn't hold back his anger, so he pounded the steering wheel hard, and then asked, "How much is wrong?"

Special Assistant Wu replied, "30 million."

"Thirty million is not much." Zhou Muchuan took a deep breath, "I'll handle this matter. You go to the company right now and make sure the cybersecurity department fixes the loophole."

Special Assistant Wu said, "Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Muchuan threw the phone onto the passenger seat in annoyance. Who on earth had the time to attack the Zhou Group’s network?

He has always done a very good job of accounting. In this day and age, which company doesn't have some tricks? How can they make so much money without tricks? He has done tax evasion more than once. It can be said that he has tampered with the accounts every year since he took over the Zhou Group.

But for things like this, even if there is a consensus in private, it won't work if it's made public.

Fortunately, only last month's accounts were not balanced, and 30 million is not a large amount.

It should be possible.

He calmed down for a while, took out his cell phone and made a call.

I didn’t expect the other party didn’t answer.

He frowned and called again, but still no one answered.

He called again and again, and finally the other party answered. Before he could say anything, the person on the other end smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhou, it's no use calling me. The matter has been reported to the city. The city set up a special task force to investigate overnight. This time Zhou's account has too many loopholes, and it is estimated that there will be a heavy fine. You should be prepared."

Zhou Muchuan paused, somewhat incredulous. "It's only been a short time, and the city has already set up a special task force? How is this possible?"

"I don't know either. Maybe you should think about whether you have offended anyone recently?" The voice on the other end sighed, "Anyway, I can't help you with this matter. If your company's accounts are well done, it's fine. But if they are not, and the previous loopholes are found, maybe even I will be implicated by you. We can only wish ourselves the best."

After saying that, the person on the other end hung up the phone.

Zhou Muchuan frowned. Offended someone? Who did he offend?

But now is not the time to think about these things. The matter is urgent and he has no time to investigate the reasons. He quickly called Gao's family again.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Muchuan hung up the phone with a gloomy face.

Fortunately, the Gao family is willing to help by saying a few words, and the task force should only thoroughly investigate the accounts that don't match last month.

But the Gao family also said that even if it was only last month's tax problem, the punishment would be severe, and it would be difficult for the Gao family to interfere in this punishment.

The shortfall of 30 million will probably require a fine of around 300 million. In addition, all honorary titles will be revoked. If you are unlucky, some commercial trade may even be restricted.

The Gao family can only provide help as much as possible, but punishment is inevitable.

Zhou Muchuan took a deep breath. He knew that this was the best outcome.

At this juncture, there are not many people who can help him under pressure, especially those who were bribed in the past. They will not joke about their own careers, so it is highly likely that they can no longer be relied on.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he would still have to count on his brother-in-law's family, with whom he had not yet become in-laws.

Zhou Muchuan frowned and made a few more phone calls, asking the company's finance department and general manager to rush to the company immediately and review the previous accounts before the special task force arrived.

Next, we can only respond to ever-changing situations by remaining unchanged.

After doing all this, Zhou Muchuan glanced at the old apartment building that was just a stone's throw away, hesitated for a moment, and drove in.

He arrived later than expected. Qin Sisi had already become impatient waiting, and when she heard the knock on the door, she hurried over to open it.

As soon as the door opened, Zhou Muchuan was stunned for a moment, because Qin Sisi in front of him was wearing a white dress. The dress was very long and fitted at the waist, outlining her slender figure. Her long black hair was loose, and she casually wore a plaid hairpin. Her face was not made up, but she exuded a pure aura.

Qin Sisi like this reminded him of the first time he saw her in school many years ago.

But it was just a moment of distraction. When he thought about the fact that Qin Sisi had been played with by so many people, her body was dirty, and the video was taken and spread everywhere, his little bit of nostalgia turned into disgust.

Looking at Qin Sisi, his face was emotionless, and he asked, "Where is Jasmine?"

"The child just finished her homework and was tired, so I let her sleep." Qin Sisi said a little embarrassedly, "Why don't you come in and sit down first, and I'll go call her."

Zhou Muchuan nodded and followed Qin Sisi in.

The apartment was very small, only a few dozen square meters, and there were few things. It looked very deserted. Qin Sisi said embarrassedly, "Please sit down first. I just settled down these few days and I don't have any tea to entertain guests. Have a glass of boiled water."

She handed him the boiled water, and Zhou Muchuan took it casually. Qin Sisi's hand accidentally touched his, and she quickly took it back, saying awkwardly, "...Sorry, I didn't mean it."

Zhou Muchuan originally thought that when he came this time, Qin Sisi would find ways to get close to him, after all, she was reluctant to divorce him in the first place.

Unexpectedly, she kept her distance everywhere, and was so polite even when her hand accidentally touched his.

Zhou Muchuan didn't know why. He obviously hated Qin Sisi, but facing her reaction, he was a little unhappy.

Qin Sisi smiled at him, turned around and went to the bedroom to call Jasmine.

Zhou Muchuan looked at her slim back, feeling confused for a moment.

After a while, Qin Sisi came back, looking apologetic, "Moli was sleeping too soundly, I really didn't want to wake her up. You know, her school has a very tight schedule, and she is usually very tired from studying. She finally got some sleep and wanted to take a rest. Why don't you pick her up tomorrow?"

She thought for a moment and continued, "After school tomorrow afternoon, right? Then we can go pick her up at the school gate together, and we can explain everything to her face to face. I don't want the child to think that I let her go with you because I don't want her."

Her words moved Zhou Muchuan's heart slightly, and he paused and said, "Okay."

He got up and walked out.

Qin Sisi sent him to the door and said goodbye to him politely, "Thank you for your hard work. Goodbye."

After that, close the door.

Zhou Muchuan suddenly raised his hand to stop her from closing the door.

Qin Sisi's heart flashed with joy, but a surprised expression appeared on her face. She asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Zhou Muchuan frowned and looked at her, "What are you up to?"

Qin Sisi asked blankly, "What?"

Zhou Muchuan looked at her deeply and said, "You'd better not be planning anything."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Qin Sisi's voice sounded faintly from behind him, "Brother Muchuan, who do you think I am? Since we are divorced, I know my own identity. Don't worry, I won't bother you again. Tomorrow you can take Jasmine away, and we won't have to meet again."

Zhou Muchuan paused, then walked into the elevator.

Qin Sisi curled the corners of her mouth, closed the door and went back.

She knew Zhou Muchuan too well. He didn't cherish what he had, and he would always be upset about what he didn't have. She had been too proactive in the past, which made him bored, just like Xu Yansang two years ago.

She now made the same choice as Xu Yansang and ignored him, and he really changed.

Don't worry, you can take it slow. Jasmine is in her hands anyway, so isn't it her who decides how long to play?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Although Zhou Muchuan had regained some interest in her, distant water could not quench a nearby fire. She was very short of money, but Wu Zhendong refused to show up.

She was unwilling to give up, so she gritted her teeth, went back to her room, and used her computer to send an anonymous email to Wu Zhendong's office email address.

"Senior Wu, I'm so scared that you disappeared so suddenly. I know you don't want to contact me anymore, but I just want to ask, is the child I aborted really just a thing of the past?"

After sending the email, she turned off the computer.

I have contacted Wu Zhendong via email before, but he was like a coward and never responded.

Qin Sisi thought, the office email address won't be changed just like that, most likely they saw it but didn't reply. So she took a strong medicine this time.

She didn't believe that Wu Zhendong would continue to ignore her if he saw this.

And just as she thought, the next day, when Wu Zhendong came to the office and saw the email, he froze.

His eyes were fixed on the word "child", and his hands were clenched tightly, with veins bulging.

After a long time, tears glistened in his eyes. He slowly picked up his phone, walked into the lounge, and made a call.

On the other end of the phone, there was the voice that haunted him, "Senior Wu..."

Wu Zhendong's throat choked with sobs. After a long while, he uttered "hmm" and forced a smile, "Sisi."

It was three days later that Xu Yansang learned that something had happened to the Zhou Group.

Beicheng News highlighted the case of Zhou Group and investigated it as a typical case, imposing a maximum fine of 300 million yuan. In addition, most of Zhou's business cooperation with the government was cut.

Almost overnight, Zhou's size was cut by one third, which was a huge blow to the Zhou Group.

Xu Yansang read the news expressionlessly, then swiped past it to read the second piece of news.

It seemed that the incident at Zhou Group was just a trivial matter in her eyes.

While Fu Zhenmu took the milk out of the microwave and handed it to her, he secretly glanced at her mobile phone page. Seeing that there was no sign of abnormality on her expression, he felt a little happy.

It seems that she has no illusions about the Zhou family and has really let it go.

After reading the news, Xu Yansang said to Fu Zhen, "Ah Zhuo, you happen to be at home today. I have something to tell you."

Fu Zhenzhuo's heart skipped a beat.

He had been hiding these past few days, going out early and coming back late, because he was afraid that she would bring it up. Today, he really couldn't help but want to see her, so he didn't hide away. He didn't expect that she would say it.

But when he met Xu Yansang's gentle gaze, his heart softened and he could only ask, "What's the matter?"

Xu Yansang smiled at him, and then said, "Before, we got married because we both needed each other. Now we have both solved our problems. You have a marriage that you can explain to your family, and I have also overcome the difficulties here, so I am ready to move out. I have already found a house. I have arranged a Lalamove and will move out after get off work tonight."

Fu Zhen opened his mouth, but his mouth, which had always been successful in the business world, now seemed to be mute and could not utter a single word.

Not only did she have to move, but she did so urgently.

We're moving out tonight.

He didn't even dare to ask, what about our marriage?

I was afraid that she would say with a smile, let's get a divorce this weekend.

He tried to act less weird and just asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Yansang smiled and said, "I've actually been planning on this for a long time, and I just happen to have some time recently."

Even though she was smiling, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. It was no better than when she divorced Zhou Muchuan.

Fortunately, she has experience, and it's just a matter of endurance. Time is the best medicine to heal everything.

Fu Zhenmu coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I have something I would like to ask you for help with."

Xu Yansang quickly said, "What's the matter? It doesn't matter. I can still help you even if I move away. We are still friends."

Fu Zhenzhuo looked at her, "My mother and grandmother will come to visit us in two days. They also brought you a gift. I originally wanted to let Chen Qiao live in the same room with us and let them sleep in the small bedroom, but you are moving out..."

He smiled bitterly, "I can't force you to do anything. I can only wait for them to come and tell them that there is a problem in our relationship. This will also pave the way for a divorce in the future."

Xu Yansang couldn't bear it when she heard it. "Grandma Fu is so old. Wouldn't it be too cruel to tell her about this all of a sudden? I thought you could do some work slowly, and when she is mentally prepared, we can get a divorce."

Fu Zhenzhuo sighed, "That can't be helped. After all, you have made up your mind, and I can't hold you back."

Xu Yansang hesitated for a moment, her face showing a struggle, "When will they come?"

Fu Zhenzhuo quickly replied, "Thursday, two days left."

Xu Yansang thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I wait until they leave before moving? There's no need for two days. They came too suddenly this time, and you were so flustered. I'm afraid you'll reveal your flaws again."

Fu Zhenzhuo felt relieved and smiled, "Okay."
