She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Because I was so shocked, it took me a long time to hold the thing Zhou Hanzhi threw to me, and I stammered, "How, how come it's with you?"

I did spend a long time looking for the thing Zhou Hanzhi threw to me.

It was the press card that Youhe had lost. I later went to the Vienna Hotel specifically to look for it, but I never found it and was almost discovered.

At that time, I met Zhou Hanzhi there.

You He and I were very worried about this matter during that time, fearing that the press pass would fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives and cause more trouble. Unexpectedly, this press pass fell into Zhou Hanzhi's hands.

I was shocked, but also felt relieved: Fortunately, the press pass fell into Zhou Hanzhi's hands. If it fell into the hands of someone else, I don't know how serious the consequences would be. First of all, You He's identity would be exposed.

Zhou Hanzhi didn't answer my question. He took the phone I had placed on the center console and turned on the screen. "You are too careless. When you entered the elevator just now, you were texting with your friend named You He, right? Not only did you not change your WeChat name, you also didn't even bother to change a privacy film for yourself."

I was startled again, feeling a chill on my back, and once again thankful that the person I bumped into in the elevator was Zhou Hanzhi.

What makes me even more frightened is that I have so many loopholes. Zhou Hanzhi actually saw that I was sending messages to You He at a glance. If others saw this, then both You He and I would be exposed.

"I, I will place an order for the privacy film later." I didn't know what I was saying anymore. I just felt scared.

Zhou Hanzhi glanced at me and frowned. "What's the point of ordering a privacy film? Don't you know how advanced the Internet technology is now? As long as Zhou Pinzhi wants to investigate you, do you think you and You He can hide these plots from him?"

My mind, which had gone blank due to shock, gradually regained consciousness. I didn't say anything, but just stared at Zhou Hanzhi.

The air in the car was quiet and solid, as if it had changed from gas to solid state. It weighed heavy on my shoulders and made it difficult for me to breathe.

Yes, with the advanced Internet technology nowadays, it is not difficult to hack into a person's phone. If I really want to investigate, the connection between me and You He cannot be hidden...

This means that my plan is more difficult than I thought.

"Xuxu, listen to me. Stop from now on and don't investigate further. Even if you find out, you can't fight against these people. It may even bring danger to the people around you." Zhou Hanzhi held my wrist, and I realized that I had been holding the steering wheel so hard that my knuckles turned white and blue veins on the back of my hand were faintly protruding.

His voice was gentle but anxious: "Let go of this obsession and live a simple and peaceful life. You are smart and capable. You will soon be the top game designer in Beijing and Hong Kong. You will live a good and happy life. Don't go to the Zhou family again, and don't wade into this muddy water again, okay?"

"No!" I answered firmly.

The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally surged up at this moment. I stared at Zhou Hanzhi's dark and anxious eyes and answered seriously: "Since it is an obsession, it is something that must be done. No one can stop it! I can't convince myself to let go of the hatred for grandma and live a so-called simple and happy life without any heart or soul. I must investigate and avenge grandma!"

Two years ago, if it weren't for this thought, I might not be alive anymore.

Over the past two years, it is this obsession that has enabled me to get to where I am today.

This is indeed something that must be done, otherwise, I will never have peace in my life.

"Do you have to do it? Even if it brings devastating danger to the people around you, you're willing to do it?" Zhou Hanzhi seemed to be shocked by my words. His brows furrowed even tighter and his tone became fierce.

My surging and intense output paused.

Indeed, I want to find out the truth, get evidence, and avenge my grandmother, but I don’t want to bring danger to my family and friends.

He quickly held my hand again and whispered anxiously, "Xuxu, be obedient and don't continue. Leave this matter to your husband. He will handle it, okay?"

The temperature in Beijing and Hong Kong is really low on winter nights. Although the heater is on in the car, my hands are still cold, but Zhou Hanzhi's palms are warm. He wraps my hands in his broad palms, and I look into his serious and eager eyes. For a moment, it seems like I'm back to the beginning.

During the sweet time when I was in love with him, Zhou Hanzhi did the same thing to me. He wrapped me in his warm palms and comforted me that everything was fine and that he would take care of everything for me.

But it was only a moment of trance. I quickly came back to my senses, pulled the corners of my lips into a bitter smile, and slowly but firmly pushed Zhou Hanzhi's hand away: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhou, but it's not necessary. After all, this is my own business. I can handle it myself, so I won't bother Mr. Zhou."

Husband?

Zhou Hanzhi is confused, but I am not.

He is no longer my boyfriend, and he has no responsibility to handle things for me.

Besides, I don’t believe Zhou Hanzhi will handle this matter for me.

The murderer who killed my grandmother was that man. Although Zhou Hanzhi was not close to that man, they were still relatives. Not only were they relatives, but they also had a vested interest.

Is it possible that Zhou Hanzhi would give up his family affection and interests because of me?

will not!

I got a very clear answer to this question two years ago.

If Zhou Hanzhi was really willing, he wouldn't have abandoned me two years ago.

I can rely on my partners and friends, but I absolutely cannot rely on Zhou Hanzhi.

This must be done, and I will do it myself, but I will be more careful, do it more secretly and cautiously, and avoid omissions and suspicion as much as possible.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for keeping my secret. Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for saving me twice. At the same time, I hope that Mr. Zhou can continue to keep my secret. Meng Nanxu is very grateful." I looked away and put You He's press card into my pocket. After confirming it was well placed, I nodded and sincerely thanked Zhou Hanzhi. But then I changed the subject and said more firmly, "However, I have made up my mind. Mr. Zhou, you don't need to persuade me anymore."

"Xuxu, you..." It can be heard that Zhou Hanzhi is very anxious and depressed.

"Mr. Zhou's health is not good. We can't delay any further. I'll take Mr. Zhou to the hospital first." But I interrupted him, restarted the car, and rushed towards the Affiliated Hospital of Beijing-Hong Kong Second Hospital.

For the rest of the time, Zhou Hanzhi and I didn't speak anymore.

The air is quiet and I am full of thoughts.

When I parked my car in the hospital's underground parking lot, You He was already waiting there. He picked up Zhou Hanzhi and went upstairs directly to leave.

After Zhou Hanzhi left, the carriage was inexplicably empty, with only the clear and unique fragrance from him remaining.

I sat in silence in the empty carriage for a long time. Finally, I picked up my phone and sent a message to Youhe: "I am fine."
