Don't think of rebirth.

This is the fourth day that Xia Xiuzhu has stopped replying to messages.

Xu Zhishu was feeling uneasy in the hotel.

Before, Xia Xiuzhu only said that Xia He and Xia Nanzhi had been having a big fight recently, and he needed to be quiet for a while, so they wouldn't meet again.

However, the online contact was not cut off, and the person Xia Xiuzhu arranged to contact her continued to release news of the divorce depending on the situation.

However, since four days ago, the contact person no longer sent her messages, and no matter what Xu Zhishu sent, the other party no longer replied.

The same was true for Xia Xiuzhu. WeChat had no way of seeing whether the other party was online, but he had never replied to the messages sent by Xu Zhishu.

No, calm down. At this point, her divorce with Wei Yan is a foregone conclusion. Xia Xiuzhu only plays a role in maintaining stability and is of little significance.

Xu Zhishu took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

In just ten days or so, the divorce cooling-off period will be over. After she and Wei Yan divorced, she would go abroad immediately and never come back.

With that money, she can live a leisurely life abroad and never have to live like she does now.

Xu Zhishu calmed herself down. Seeing that it was almost time for lunch and she didn't want to go out, she simply ordered room service to have her lunch delivered.

About thirty minutes later, Xu Zhishu heard the distinctive wheel sound of a cart in the corridor outside.

The voice stopped at her door, and then the waiter knocked on the door: "Hello, your lunch is here."

Xu Zhishu got off the bed, walked to the door and opened it. She wanted to complain that the food was delivered too slowly, but when she looked up, she saw that in addition to the cart and the waiter, there were two uniformed criminal police officers standing by the door.

In an instant, all the blood in Xu Zhishu's body seemed to solidify.

She wanted to run away reflexively, but her feet seemed to have taken root and her hand holding the door handle was stiff and unable to move.

Both detectives showed their credentials, and one of them even showed an arrest warrant.

She couldn't hear a word the detective said. She just stared blankly at the name line on the arrest warrant.

It says "Zhu Yuanyuan" instead of "Xu Zhishu".

No matter how beautiful the painted skin is, it is fake after all. She is Zhu Yuanyuan, not Xu Zhishu.

It was like some kind of stubbornness was forcibly pulled out of her body, along with her soul.

Xu Zhishu, no, Zhu Yuanyuan collapsed on the ground.

Just like that night more than ten years ago, she was hit on the head by Xia Xiuzhu, and wine mixed with blood flowed down her head, making her look miserable.

However, this time, she had no chance to climb up.

Although Zhu Yuanyuan doesn't look like she would run away, you have to know that this person has not been discovered for nearly twenty years.

If there hadn't been a fierce fight within the Xia family this time, and if Xia Xiuzhu hadn't been betrayed when she was arrested, who would have thought that Zhu Yuanyuan was once a human trafficker?

Although she now seems to have accepted the fact that she was arrested, there is no guarantee that she will not take the opportunity to escape.

Out of caution, the criminal police took out handcuffs and handcuffed Xu Zhishu's hands.

"Click."

Wei Xiao woke up from his dream and looked around, only to find that the sound came from the window that was not closed last night.

The latch was not stuck and it slid open due to the strong wind outside. The lock tongue popped out with a clicking sound.

He stood up from the bed and slammed the window shut with such force that the whole window shook.

Ever since he smashed Qin Yue's head last time, Wei Xiao was warned to suspend his studies and has been reflecting on his mistakes at home during this period.

He actually didn't think it was a big deal, but it was a punishment after all. Wei Yan was very angry and asked him to reflect on it during this time.

Wei Xiao was not in the mood to reflect. He was waiting for Wei Yan and Zhu Yuanyuan's divorce certificate to be finalized.

Divorce quickly, leave quickly, and never appear in front of him and his father again.

Only in this way can he live a stable life as Wei Yan's son.

The wind outside the window was getting stronger, and the sky was covered with dark clouds that could turn into heavy rain at any time.

Wei Xiao glanced at the gray sky, retracted his gaze, pulled the curtains tightly to isolate the world outside the window from the room, and returned to bed.

He turned on the ceiling light, but the light was pale, and Wei Xiao's mood became even worse.

He simply turned off the lights. The curtains were light-blocking enough and the room became dim again, like night.

Unfortunately, it was not so easy to fall asleep again after waking up. Wei Xiao tossed and turned in bed and finally took out his cell phone.

He opened the social platform and checked the hot searches to see if there was any interesting news. Among the first few hot searches, a hot search with the word "explosive" caught his attention.

A wealthy elder brother hired someone to kill his younger brother.

Wei Xiao clicked on it out of curiosity about the "wealthy family". He wanted to see which family it was, but what he saw was a familiar name.

Xia Xiuzhu, looking at this name, Wei Xiao felt his hands and feet go cold.

He read the police report in a panic. Xia Xiuzhu confessed to his crimes, and several official accounts of the Xia family's companies also issued announcements to distance themselves from the case.

Netizens were mostly shocked. After all, hiring someone to kill someone sounded too far-fetched and didn't feel real when discussed.

In comparison, everyone is actually more curious about how big the Xia family is, and how regrettable the deaths of Xu Qiu and Xia Zhihan are.

Wei Xiao saw the date he had heard with his own ears in the timeline listed in the police report.

The notice did not specify the specific box number, but the date was enough for Wei Xiao to confirm.

Did Zhu Yuanyuan know the date when Xia Xiuzhu hired a killer? What role did she play in this process?

Panic quickly swept through Wei Xiao's mind. No, it couldn't be that. If Zhu Yuanyuan was really involved in Xia Xiuzhu's hiring of a killer, she would definitely have been mentioned in the police report - but she wasn't.

That means Zhu Yuanyuan has nothing to do with this matter, right? She may have just found out about it by chance and used it as a handle to blackmail Xia Xiuzhu.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't look at it anymore, or rather, he didn't dare to look at it anymore. He got up and decided to drink some water to calm his nerves.

Although there were some in the room, he mainly wanted to escape from his current environment, thinking that changing places might help change his mood.

He came downstairs in his slippers and was about to ask the servant to pour him some water when he suddenly heard his father's door being forced open.

Today Wei Yan was supposed to go to the nursing home under construction to confirm the construction progress, but according to the weather forecast, it would rain, so he temporarily canceled the trip and continued to deal with the documents he brought back last night at home.

When Wei Xiao looked up, Wei Yan was putting on his coat and walking downstairs with a very bad look on his face.

Meeting Wei Yan's gaze, Wei Xiao felt a little guilty: "Dad..."

"Go change your clothes, come with me." Wei Yan said in a commanding tone.

"What's wrong?" A strong sense of uneasiness lingered in Wei Xiao's heart.

"Go to the police station. Your mother has been arrested by the police." Wei Yan frowned, "Go quickly!"

By the end of his words, there was obvious displeasure in his tone.

Wei Xiao hurried back to his room to change clothes. He was in a state of confusion, with questions popping up one after another in his mind.

Why was Zhu Yuanyuan arrested by the police? Why did they inform Wei Yan? What crime did she commit?

These questions were quickly answered after Wei Xiao arrived at the detention center.

However, that was the truth that Wei Xiao could never imagine.

Zhu Yuanyuan, his biological mother, was a human trafficker who had been on the run for nearly twenty years.
