Zhou Li came fiercely, and Jiang Mingzhu was not to be outdone. Even if he grabbed her arm, she had no intention of compromising.
She sat on her seat and stood still, looking at Zhou Li stubbornly.
Yuanye saw that Jiang Mingzhu's thin arm was about to be broken by Zhou Li, and couldn't help but said, "Fourth brother, calm down."
"Shut up." Zhou Li warned Yuanye.
Before Yuanye could say anything, Jiang Mingzhu suddenly said, "Let me go."
Yuanye was surprised, Jiang Mingzhu was really courageous, not giving Zhou Li face outside...
Zhou Li: "Enough is enough."
Jiang Mingzhu: "You were the one who left me alone first."
After she said this, she was already crying. Tears welled up in her eyes and hung on her beautiful face, causing people to pity her.
When Yuanye saw the tears, he immediately felt that Zhou Li was such a scumbag, why did he have to provoke Jiang Mingzhu?
Jiang Mingzhu: "I said, if you leave, I will like someone else. Now that I like him, do you care if I date him?"
Yuanye: "..."
He moved his lips, originally wanting to remind Jiang Mingzhu not to say angry words, but when he saw her tears, he was suddenly speechless.
Zhou Li looked at Jiang Mingzhu coldly: "This is your last chance."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Are you giving me charity?"
Zhou Li let go of her, turned around and left.
Obviously, he no longer intends to communicate with her.
Yuanye subconsciously wanted to chase Zhou Li, but after thinking about it, he stayed to comfort Jiang Mingzhu.
Her expression looked so sad.
——
Zhou Li drove around the Third Ring Road and finally stopped by the river.
It was almost early in the morning, and there were not many people on the riverside. He stood in front of the fence and looked at the Beijiang River at night, his eyes bottomless.
Only the raised veins on the back of his hands gave him away.
Jiang Mingzhu's actions today were beyond his control.
When he left that day, she screamed, "Go find someone else," but he didn't take that to heart at all.
After all, she didn't say a few truthful words.
Unexpectedly, this time she really did what she said.
Did she deliberately go to Yuan Ye to stimulate him and wait for him to coax her? It would be too naive to think so.
She is a woman of unknown origin.
At twelve o'clock in the morning, Zhou Li arrived at the hospital, walked out of the elevator and headed towards Zhan Yubai's ward.
Late at night, there were only medical staff on duty in the corridor of the hospital, which was very quiet.
Zhou Li walked to the ward without any obstruction. After opening the door, he found that the bed was empty.
Zhan Yubai, who was supposed to be lying on the bed, was now gone.
Zhou Li raised his hand to cover his temples and glanced deeply at the bathroom. The door was open and Zhan Yubai was not in the bathroom either.
Where could she go so late?
Zhou Li suddenly remembered the text message on Zhan Yubai's phone that day.
Zhou Li did not stay in the ward longer, turned around and left.
——
At two o'clock in the morning, Zhan Yubai hurried back to the ward. She closed the door, quickly changed into clothes, and lay back on the bed.
Zhan Yubai was exhausted from what happened at night, and he barely opened his eyes until half past eight in the morning.
If the nurse hadn't come to check on the ward, she would have slept even longer.
Zhan Yubai listlessly cooperated with the nurse's routine examination. Halfway through, Zhou Li suddenly came over.
Zhan Yubai was surprised: "Zhou Li? Why are you here?"
Zhou Li walked over, glanced around her, and asked lightly, "Don't you want me to come over?"
Zhan Yubai: "Of course not. It's a working day today. I thought you were busy."
Zhou Li: "You don't look good. Did you not sleep well?"
Zhan Yubai: "Well, I didn't feel very well last night and didn't fall asleep until late at night."
Zhou Li: "Oh."
Zhan Yubai: "Have you had breakfast? Let's eat together."
Zhou Li: "Yeah."
Zhan Yubai arranged for the nurse to bring breakfast, and Zhou Li sat at the same table with her to have breakfast.
Zhou Li swept the shoes at the door, "Are you out?"
Zhan Yubai paused, "I went downstairs for a walk yesterday afternoon."
Zhou Li: "Oh, if you don't feel well, it's better not to run around."
Zhan Yubai: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Later Zhou Li stopped talking.
Zhan Yubai's heartbeat was always very fast. While eating, he glanced at Zhou Li from time to time.
Zhou Li: "What have you been looking at? Are you so surprised to see me?"
Zhan Yubai: "I should say I'm flattered. In fact, I missed you so much yesterday and I was embarrassed to disturb your work..."
Zhou Li: "If you don't come to see you, my mother will go to the company to teach me a lesson."
Zhan Yubai finally laughed, "How could it be? I'm fine. The doctor said I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
——
After having an argument with Zhou Li that day, Jiang Mingzhu's attitude towards him seemed to have changed.
After the two met in the company, the business was official and there was no interaction in private.
Jiang Mingzhu no longer "harassed" Zhou Li like before, and Zhou Li never took the initiative to send a message to Jiang Mingzhu.
The two seemed to be in Cold War mode.
This is a week.
Jiang Mingzhu didn't go to Zhou Li's place during the weekend, which made Fang Qinyang feel strange, "Are you still in the cold war?"
Jiang Mingzhu gnawed on the apple, noncommittal.
Fang Qinyang: "It took a lot of effort to catch this man here. Aren't you afraid that he won't want you anymore?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "If he had such a plan, he would have fired me the next day after the quarrel."
Fang Qinyang: "...It seems to make sense."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I don't have time to pay attention to him recently. Let's let him go for a while. I'll go and coax him after I finish my business."
Fang Qinyang: "It sounds like teasing a dog."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Tsk, he is not as cute as a puppy."
After a few small talk, it’s time to get down to business.
Jiang Mingzhu talked on the phone with the person Zheng Linxu sent to follow Liu Pei.
In the past week, Liu Pei has not met Zhan Yubai. Instead, he has been squandering money everywhere. It is said that he has spent almost all the money Zhan Yubai gave him.
After Liu Pei spent the money, he would probably go to Zhan Yubai for it.
It was only a matter of time before we met.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Has Liu Pei checked on my brother recently?"
Zhang Xu: "You mean Pei..."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yeah."
Zhang Xu: "I never heard him say that."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Okay, keep staring at him. Remember to inform me next time he meets Zhan Yubai."
Zhang Xu: "Yes."
——
On Saturday night, Zhou Li took Zhan Yubai back to Zhou's house for dinner and sent him back to the apartment as usual.
Without waiting for Zhan Yubai's invitation, Zhou Li took the initiative to come up and sit down.
Zhan Yubai was very surprised and immediately took Zhou Li upstairs, and then went to the kitchen to prepare fruits.
Zhou Li took advantage of Zhan Yubai's absence, got up and walked into her study.
On the desk, there is a computer, which is the same computer that was used to take photos in the wilderness.
Zhou Li turned on the computer, tried entering the password twice, turned it on successfully, and then saw a folder on the home page.
Zhou Li took out the USB flash drive from his pocket and plugged it in.
The moment he closed the notebook, Zhan Yubai's voice came from outside the door, "Zhou Li? Are you in there?"
Zhan Yubai opened the door and came in. When he saw Zhou Li standing not far away, he subconsciously glanced at the computer on the table.
