Mao Qi watched Hekou Manor for a whole night. The surveillance in the basement was real-time, and he was fortunate enough to witness the entire process of torture by a perverted murderer.

Du Peijiang begged for mercy at the beginning, but finally gave up hope. When dawn was about to break, he finally lost his life at the hands of Zhou Muchuan.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhou Muchuan came out of the manor in a dignified manner and drove away.

Mao Qi drove after him, and another bodyguard continued to wait outside Hekou Manor.

Zhou Muchuan didn't know where he was going. Mao Qi only saw him seem to make a phone call, and then he just drove forward and drove for more than two hours.

After driving out of the north city, Zhou Muchuan finally stopped on a small road.

He got out of the car, stood at the telephone pole for a while, smoked two cigarettes, and then left.

After he left, Mao Qi got out of the car and took a look. There was nothing special about this place, but he remembered that the car accident that Miss Xu's parents had encountered seemed to have happened here.

What does Zhou Muchuan mean? Are you here to reminisce about your past success stories?

Mao Qi shrugged and took out his cell phone to report on the progress on his side.

That means there is no progress.

I thought I could follow Zhou Muchuan unnoticed today and dig out some secrets.

It’s a pity that such a good opportunity was missed.

On the other end of the phone, Fu Zhenzhuo was not surprised. "He used to let his assistant handle it. The assistant surnamed Wu has been with him for many years. Basically, all the evil he did was dealt with by the assistant surnamed Wu. The bodyguard who was watching the assistant surnamed Wu hasn't sent back any news yet. Let's wait and see."

Mao Qi could only respond disappointedly, "Yes."

After a pause, he asked hesitantly, "Mr. Fu, do we need to tell Zhao Jiali that Du Peijiang was killed by Zhou Muchuan?"

Fu Zhen smiled faintly, "It has been arranged."

Mao Qi took a deep breath. He just realized that President Fu had already made the arrangements. There was an Einstein between him and President Fu.

Mr. Fu's brain is probably something he will never be able to match in his entire life.

But then again, he had never seen anyone who could be compared to Mr. Fu, so it was Mr. Fu who was too evil, not that he had a low IQ. At least, he was still by Mr. Fu's side and working for him, so to round it off, he was about the same as Mr. Fu.

Fu Zhenzhuo didn't know what his young assistant was thinking about in an instant, so he said, "Come back first. You worked hard last night. I'll give you a day off today and have a good rest."

Mao Qi felt a little ashamed, "It's not hard at all."

Apart from getting a video, nothing was caught.

At the same time, the Zhou family.

Zhao Jiali couldn't help but tremble slightly as she watched the video on her phone.

The video was sent from an anonymous email address. It was a clip captured by a surveillance camera near the Wanliu Club. It was five seconds long, but it made her sweat.

Because in the video, her beloved male college student was pushed into a van by several familiar figures, and the van drove away. She almost knew the license plate number by heart.

Those people were hired by Zhou Muchuan specifically to do things that were not worthy of being seen in public, and the van was also bought by Zhou Muchuan for ease of movement.

The reason she knew this was because three and a half years ago, on that rainy night, Zhou Muchuan brought these people and drove that van to clean up the mess for her!

Now, these people and this van were used against her, against the person she loved most!

Her son, knowing that she had deep feelings for Du Peijiang and that she and Du Peijiang were in love, still attacked Du Peijiang.

In his heart, isn't she, as a mother, even worthy of pursuing a relationship of her own?

Zhao Jiali called Zhou Muchuan with trembling fingers.

The first few calls were hung up, but Zhao Jiali continued to call. The other party finally seemed impatient and picked up the phone, saying patiently, "Mom, I'm in a meeting."

Zhao Jiali's face was ugly, and her voice was trembling as she asked, "Where did you take Xiao Du? Mu Chuan, you promised me not to touch Xiao Du, how could you lie to me?"

Zhou Muchuan said, "Wait a moment."

Then there was a rustling sound, as if someone was walking out.

After more than ten seconds, Zhou Muchuan spoke again, his tone helpless, "Mom, I didn't touch him. Who told you that I touched him?"

Every time he vents, he feels calmer than ever before. Even when facing the most troublesome situations, he can remain calm, and the mood usually lasts about three days.

Today is only the first day, so he is very patient in dealing with Zhao Jiali's questions and accusations.

Zhao Jiali's voice trembled with anger, "You are still denying it. You are still denying it now? Do you have to let me throw the surveillance video on you before you admit it? You clearly sent someone to kidnap Xiao Du. Where did you take him? Did you hurt him?"

Zhou Muchuan grasped the key words, frowned unconsciously, and asked, "Surveillance? What surveillance?"

"Someone sent me a video of your people dragging Xiao Du into a van on the side of the road!" Zhao Jiali felt as if her heart was broken by a knife. She was anxious and angry. "Muchuan, I already know everything. Don't say you didn't do it! As long as you return Xiao Du to me, I won't bother with you about these things."

Zhou Muchuan said innocently, "Mom, I said I didn't move, so I didn't move. Did someone whisper something in your ear? I told you not to believe everything those people said. They are trying to sow discord between us mother and son. Who knows if that video was made up?"

Zhao Jiali paused, "Synthesized?"

"Yes, technology is so advanced now that we can use AI to make fake videos that are indistinguishable from the real thing. Mom, you really wronged me. I didn't do anything. You like that student, but it doesn't affect me in any way."

Zhao Jiali was somewhat convinced and asked uncertainly, "Really?"

Zhou Muchuan smiled helplessly, "Of course it's true, why would I lie to you? Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. I'm still in a meeting."

Zhao Jiali had no choice but to agree, "Okay, you go to the meeting first, but send someone to find Xiao Du's whereabouts when you have time. I'm really worried about him."

Zhou Muchuan said, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jiali sat on the sofa and watched the video on her mobile phone. It looked so real. If it was synthesized, it would be too realistic.

Could it be that Mu Chuan really didn't lie to her, and someone was trying to sow discord between them as mother and son?

Before Zhao Jiali could figure out what was going on, she saw Zhou Ruotang coming back from outside angrily, stomping her high heels on the ground viciously and throwing her bag and coat out.

The servant hurried forward to tidy up. Zhao Jiali looked at her unhappily and lectured her, "How many times have I told you? Be elegant and decent! This is what a lady from a noble family should be like! Look at what you did just now. If this gets out, people will laugh at you!"

Zhou Ruotang didn't care. "It's just a joke. Why should I be afraid of them laughing at me? I am a joke anyway!"

Zhao Jiali frowned and looked at her, "What's wrong with you? What happened to you outside?"

She had never seen her daughter so angry.

Zhou Ruotang took the fruit tea served by the servant, took a sip, and then snorted, "Guess why Gao Yuan broke off the engagement with me?"

Zhao Jiali frowned and asked, "Because he likes someone else?"

Either there is a better option, or the Gao family simply regrets it.

But the Gao family is not a small family, and what they say is as good as their words. They will not cancel the engagement so easily.

So the problem must be with Gao Yuan.

Seeing that her daughter was willing to talk, Zhao Jiali quickly asked, "What's going on? Tell me, why are you still keeping your mother in suspense?"

"I'm not keeping you in suspense, I'm just angry!" Zhou Ruotang put the water cup hard on the table and said indignantly, "Gao Yuan likes someone else!"

"I knew it was like this." Zhao Jiali sighed, "The initiative is in their hands, what else can we do? Unless you are confident that you can get Gao Yuan back from that woman, there is no other choice."

She had always asked Zhou Ruotang to get closer to the Gao family and think of ways to win Gao Yuan back, but Zhou Ruotang was unwilling to do so, thinking that it was an insult to her personality.

Zhao Jiali said, what's the big deal about personality? Isn't it enough to achieve the goal? Just like she took down their father. No matter what the relationship between husband and wife is like, at least she successfully gave birth to a son and a daughter and gained a firm foothold in the Zhou family.

At first, she didn't want Zhou Ruotang to live like this anymore, but Zhou Ruotang insisted on agreeing to the marriage. Now that the marriage is off and he's not actively fighting for it, Zhao Jiali feels upset just watching this.

Zhou Ruotang didn't notice Zhao Jiali's impatient expression. His eyes were gloomy and he gritted his teeth every word he spoke. "The woman Gao Yuan likes is Xu Yansang's friend, the one named Chen Ranxing."

Zhao Jiali paused and slowly sat up straight, "What did you say? Gao Yuan was seduced away by Xu Yansang's friend?"

"Well," Zhou Ruotang smiled a smile that was uglier than crying, and said in a cold voice, "Mom, if this wasn't intentional, do you believe it?"

Zhao Jiali shook her head, her voice somewhat gloomy, "How could it be an accident? Xu Yansang must have wanted to take revenge on us. After learning that you were going to marry Gao Yuan, she sent her friend to trip you up. Now it's obvious that she succeeded."

Zhao Jiali's tone was very sharp. Zhou Ruotang was silent for a second and said, "Mom, I can't allow this to happen."

Who the hell is she, Xu Yansang? How dare he plot against her?

Is it a big deal to marry a good man? Do you really think that a man like Fu Zhenzhuo can be sincere? Can he truly love her?

It's just a temporary novelty. Sooner or later, Fu Zhentao will get tired of it and throw Xu Yansang away like a rag.

Zhao Jiali asked, "What do you want?"

Zhou Ruotang said coldly, "I will make Xu Yansang pay the price."

Fu Zhencuo protected her so well that there were other ways out.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiali scoffed at her plan, "Silly! The Zhou family has already offended Xu Yansang enough, and you are still trying to get involved! Even if Xu Yansang really wanted to retaliate against you, you can't go to her, otherwise do you still want the company? Do you still want to be the eldest daughter of the Zhou family?"

After a pause, he continued, "Your top priority now is to coax Gao Yuan back! Men only like a few things. As long as you are willing to bend down and coax him, he will definitely come back."

Zhou Ruotang bit her lip.

"I can not be reconciled."

Zhao Jiali sneered, "So what if you are unwilling? The situation is stronger than you, what can you do? On one side is the sesame that will explode, and on the other side is the big watermelon of the Gao family, what will you choose?"

Zhou Ruotang said nothing and turned to go upstairs.

Zhao Jiali angrily scolded her, "Stupid, how could I give birth to such a stupid thing like you!"

Upstairs, Zhou Ruotang became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. It's not that she didn't understand what her mother said, but she really didn't know how to coax Gao Yuan back. She tried everything she could, and even bent down to serve him humbly, but he simply sneered at her.

The mother thought too simply. Gao Yuan would never turn back.

Since the ending was already determined, why should she try to save it? She might as well just take revenge.

Xu Yansang actually dared to bully her like this, she is not someone to be trifled with!

But I can't touch Xu Yansang. What can I do to make Xu Yansang learn a lesson without being traced back to her by Fu Zhen?

Zhou Ruotang thought about it and suddenly his eyes lit up.

She knows!

On the other hand, Fu Zhenzhuo had also made great progress in tracking Zhou Muchuan.

Shortly after Zhou Muchuan left in the morning, Special Assistant Wu appeared with his men. As usual, they dragged the body from the basement to the car, and then drove away.

Fu Zhenzhuo's bodyguard followed him without anyone noticing.

We actually found the place where Zhou Muchuan dealt with the bodies.

Sure enough, it was not in the urban area, but in the suburbs. There were rural areas in the suburbs of the northern city, and all the people in the rural areas were farming. Zhou Muchuan actually had several acres of land here.

Special Assistant Wu parked the car on the side of the road and directed people to dig a big hole in the ground.

It was winter and there were not many people in the fields, so no one saw this scene.

After the pit was dug, Special Assistant Wu had someone throw Du Peijiang's body into it.

After burying the soil, he drove away.

The bodyguard took photos of the scene and sent them to Fu Zhen.

Fu Zhenzhuo quickly replied, "Well done, go back and have a rest."

The bodyguard completed his mission and drove away.

In the office, Fu Zhentao looked at the picture sent by the bodyguard with an intriguing look.

After a while, he printed out the picture and put it in a mind map folder specially made for Zhou Muchuan.

Now, we have learned how Zhou Muchuan dealt with the corpse, and we also have the video of his illegal and criminal abuse of people. There is only one question left.

What is he after? What is his purpose?

Murder is different from other crimes. It's like putting your head on the waistband of your pants. Zhou Muchuan wouldn't kill people just for fun, right?

Fu Zhenzhuo sorted out the information he had obtained and sent it to his friend at the police station. "Can we get a conviction now?"

The other party quickly replied, "Not so good. The higher-ups have been investigating more strictly recently. Although you have sufficient evidence, it is not impossible to get him out if Zhou Muchuan changes his confession."

Fu Zhenzhuo looked at the line of words deeply and did not send any more messages for a long time.

He became impatient again. It seemed that all his patience recently was given to Yansang. He was always impatient about other things, especially those related to Yansang.

We can't go on like this, or something bad will happen.

Fu Zhenzhuo put down his phone, picked up the folder, and turned to walk out.
