Sole decision

The sound of splashing water in the bathroom did not subside, Zhou Ce stared at Pei Zhaoxue, saw that he did not respond, turned around to turn off the faucet boredly, and then sat on the edge of the bathtub.

There were a few steps between them, and the lights inside were slightly dimmed, and Zhou Ce seemed to be submerged in darkness again.

"Speak directly." Pei Zhaoxue said, "There's no need to beat around the bush."

"Me?" Zhou Ce smiled, "What did I say? How did I know why so many things happened just to go home to attend my dad's birthday banquet? I almost took my life to go in."

"You didn't have to..."

"I don't need to save you, do you? If you think you owe me, you can pay me back." Zhou Ce said, "But when I was in the hospital, I kept thinking, who wants to kill you?"

Pei Zhaoxue shook her head: "There is no clue."

"Where do we need any clues?" Zhou Ce swiped his fingers on the water surface, and the water was stirred up into ripples. He looked at his fingers and said, "There are so many profit distributions in Lucheng. What does my dad represent? What do you think?" What does it mean, who will benefit the most after getting rid of you? Brother Pei, you have obtained so many degrees, you can't even figure out this little calculation problem, can you?"

"Zhou Ce." Pei Zhaoxue said in a low voice, "Sometimes, even if you know who that person is, but there is no evidence or reason, you are helpless."

"So you know?"

"No, I don't know, I'm just making an analogy." Pei Zhaoxue said, "Zhou King Jin Bailu, there are only a few big families in Lucheng. It's nothing more than those families and forces, but what can you do? "

Zhou Ce sneered: "That's why I don't like your way of acting. You always have to be reasonable, and you tie yourself up like an old man." He stood up and approached Pei Zhaoxue, and whispered, "If I kill you now Without Wang Shijin, what do you think will happen?"

He said such amazing words, but Pei Zhaoxue didn't show too much surprise, but said: "I think your marksmanship is very good."

"..."

"But what's the use of this?" Pei Zhaoxue said, "You are also helpless in the face of a crisis. The power of one person is always small. If you suspect that the Wang family is behind it, you can kill Wang Shijin. What will be the result? Zhou Ling is hesitant to cooperate with him, if you want to kill Wang Shijin, won't Zhou Ling make things difficult for you? Are you going to slap your brother in the face?"

Zhou Ce stared at Pei Zhaoxue, his brows were slightly frowned, and he did not refute Pei Zhaoxue's words.Pei Zhaoxue saw what he meant, and continued: "You don't say anything, because you know from the bottom of your heart that in our world, rights are everything. Although your surname is Zhou, you have nothing, you just It's just performing some smart tricks in front of me."

There was a muffled "bang" in an instant, and Zhou Ce grabbed Pei Zhaoxue's collar and pressed her against the wall.Pei Zhaoxue knew that he had angered Zhou Ce just now, but there was not much anger on Zhou Ce's face, but the frown deepened, and the hidden cruelty in his eyes emerged.

"You talk too much today." He looked directly into Pei Zhaoxue's eyes, and the strength in his hands increased, "Don't tell me your rules." Pei Zhaoxue felt a lot of pressure, and the self-protection awareness he had cultivated for a long time made him Unconsciously want to hit back at Zhou Ce.When the two confronted each other, Zhou Ce tore Pei Zhaoxue's collar, revealing a thin silver necklace, which was softly attached to Pei Zhaoxue's neck.

Zhou Ce lowered his eyes, suddenly smiled, and said, "It's a trick to pretend to be clever...you wear it properly. Does my elder brother know?"

Pei Zhaoxue patted Zhou Ce's hand away, and said, "It's just the most basic courtesy to properly store the gifts given by others." While speaking, he had already tidied up his clothes calmly, took a deep breath, "If there is nothing else, can I go? I don't have time to play house with you. Don't think too much about other things. Rest at home and we will take care of the rest."

"You can do whatever you want." Zhou Ce waved his hand.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Pei Zhaoxue said before leaving, "Zhou Ling wants to reorganize the Zhou family's overseas properties, some of which will be sold, and some will be used for other purposes. The one that Uncle Yun promised to give you The manor, Zhouling may plan to transform it into a transit base."

"Why?" Zhou Ce's eyes widened.

"Linhai." Pei Zhaoxue said meaningfully, "From the geographical location, it is very convenient to do some things. The news has told you, I am leaving."

Zhou Ce watched Pei Zhaoxue leave, and quickly retraced every sentence Pei Zhaoxue had just said in his mind.He had a very vague consciousness. Before, he simply thought that Pei Zhaoxue just looked down on him, but now he felt that Pei Zhaoxue's attitude and words were always divided when facing him.Of course, he would also say those specious things to Pei Zhaoxue.

He said that he wanted to kill Wang Shijin, but in fact he didn't think that everything that happened now had much to do with Wang Shijin.Pei Zhaoxue mentioned Zhou Ling, which was the name Zhou Ce didn't really want to hear.Zhou Ce was quite disappointed with Zhou Ling's attitude towards Wang Shijin, and the conversation between Zhou Jian and Zhou Ling that he overheard after he left also made him laugh.

The most important thing is that Zhou Ling actually wanted to dispose of those properties without saying a word, which made Zhou Ce feel surprised and urgent.He began to try to guess Zhou Xiangyun's heart, why did he make such a choice?

Zhou Ce couldn't figure it out, he only knew that what Zhou Ling did made him very dissatisfied.The transfer of the ownership of the manor is not a big deal, but at least it is one of the tasks that Zhou Ce will complete when he comes back this time. His father's unexpected accident and his own injury disrupted all his original plans.He didn't like the feeling of being pushed away. Losing the initiative made him feel a little gloomy, so that manor seemed to become his obsession, and his obsession became a huge stone pressing down on his heart. In the end, if he can't finish it, he will not be able to bear such a result.

He decided to talk to Zhou Ling, he thought it was a matter of one sentence for Zhou Ling, as long as Zhou Ling agreed to his request, he could immediately save a worrying demon.

Zhou Ling didn't seem to think it was an important matter, so he asked him to go to Liu Rui. After all, those industries were under the name of the company, and Liu Rui was responsible for disposing of them.Zhou Ce went to the company to visit Liu Rui on purpose. Liu Rui treated Zhou Ce very kindly, but after hearing about Zhou Ce's purpose, he got into trouble.

"I'm afraid Zhou Ling still needs to agree to this." Liu Rui found the relevant documents from the file cabinet and presented them to Zhou Ce. "Look, the project has already been approved in the company. If there is any change to the project, he needs to sign it. Instead Wasting time with me, you might as well find your second brother, I think it's just an ordinary house, he dotes on you so much, why can't he agree to you?"

"He was the one who asked me to come to you." Zhou Ce quickly scanned the document, wondering why Zhou Ling would do this.After thinking about it, there is only one answer, that is, Zhou Ling really doesn't want to deal with him. Maybe in Zhou Ling's view, if he just fools himself with such an innocuous episode, he will pretend nothing happened, and it will happen in two days. Just forget.

But the more this happened, the more rebellious Zhou Ce became.Anything that happens that he does not want or that he will cause him to feel anxious.

"Then there is no other way." Liu Rui patted Zhou Ce's shoulder, "I can't help you with this matter."

Zhou Ce said silently: "It's just a house... My surname is Zhou too, and I have rights, why can't I?"

"Ace, in such a family, even the ownership of a coin should be determined by the head of the family. Now that Zhou Ling is the head of the family, what he says is more important than anything else," Liu Rui said.

Zhou Ce said, "But my dad has already promised me, if it wasn't for him..."

Liu Rui said solemnly: "The right is not in your hands, you can only let it go. Blame it... blame yourself for never cherishing it."

Zhou Ce bowed his head and said nothing, the resentment in his heart was uncontrollable.Soon, the anger was suppressed by a strange calmness.He knew what Zhou Ling wanted to do. He might use Pearl Manor as an underground exchange to deal with the dirty business he was about to expand. That was Zhou Ce's Neverland, and he didn't allow Zhou Ling to do that.

From the moment he returned to Lucheng, a huge vortex seemed to appear in front of Zhou Ce. It was something he had been trying to avoid all along. He thought that if he went far away, he would have a bright and free life.

It's a pity that fantasy is beautiful, but it's as fragile as a bubble.His father was hurt, and he himself could not take care of himself. What was even more frightening was that he realized that the reef in the whirlpool was not far away.He told himself to run away, run away, don't look back.However, deep in his heart, he seemed to be full of secret expectations for that darkness.

Zhou Ce's calmness was too weird, even he couldn't help asking himself, what is he expecting?

He just wants to get what belongs to him, and he must get it.
