By the time Zhou Li realized that he was hallucinating and wanted to withdraw the message, it was already too late.
He looked at the reminder on the screen that "the message cannot be withdrawn" and his face fell a little.
Then Jiang Mingzhu's reply came: [? 】
Zhou Li: [Wrong reading]
Jiang Mingzhu: [Although you are not ordinary, don’t be too confident. 】
Zhou Li: [Go to bed early]
Jiang Mingzhu laughed out loud while lying on the bed after seeing these four words. She had already thought of Zhou Li's expressionless face, pretending to be calm.
It was obvious that Zhou Li didn't want to have a deep conversation with her about Zhan Yubai being taken away by the police, so Jiang Mingzhu threw the phone aside and didn't look back.
But she was still not sleepy, staring at the ceiling and planning her next move.
Zhou Li wanted to check Zhan Yubai and Su Min much more easily than she did. If she could cooperate with Zhou Li and cooperate internally and externally, it would be much easier.
But cooperation also means that she must confess everything to Zhou Li first, including her purpose of approaching him in the first place.
This was not something in Jiang Mingzhu's plan. She couldn't think of how to talk to Zhou Li for a while, and turned over in confusion.
Thinking about these things all night, Jiang Mingzhu was listless when she got up the next day.
Jiang Mingzhu had a glass of American refreshment while having breakfast. Halfway through the drink, Yuanye called and said that he was going to the factory with Xu Siyan today so that she would not have to go to work.
——
At about 9:30, Fu Xiaozhi looked for Jiang Mingzhu on WeChat.
Fu Xiaozhi: [When should I go see you today? Were you okay yesterday? 】
Jiang Mingzhu: [I'm at home, you can come anytime. 】
Fang Qinyang was still at work, and Jiang Mingzhu just needed someone to discuss the next plan with her.
Fu Xiaozhi arrived at about ten o'clock, and Jiang Mingzhu took her upstairs and sat down in the bedroom.
Fu Xiaozhi became even more worried after seeing Jiang Mingzhu's haggard face: "What did you do last night?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Zhou Li should know that Zhan Yubai and Su Min used orphan children for experiments."
She spoke straightforwardly and laid out this major premise first. She had talked about this topic with Fu Xiaozhi before, so she was familiar with it.
Even so, Fu Xiaozhi still showed a look of astonishment. She opened her eyes wide and didn't answer for a while, her mind almost lost its ability to turn around.
"You mean...he did those stupid things just to get Zhan Yubai to take the bait?" Fu Xiaozhi came to this conclusion after thinking for a few minutes, "That's not right, how did he know about this? "
Jiang Mingzhu: "You have to ask him."
"My thinking was wrong from the beginning." Jiang Mingzhu said: "When he kicked me away, my first thought was what Zhan Yubai had done. I didn't consider this aspect at all."
To put it bluntly, she underestimated Zhou Li's intelligence and insight.
Fu Xiaozhi calmed down and thought for a long time: "Then he kicked you because he didn't want you to get involved in this matter?"
Before Jiang Mingzhu could answer, Fu Xiaozhi asked again: "Is it possible that he already knows why you approached him?"
Jiang Mingzhu shook her head, "I'm not sure."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Aren't you afraid of Zhan Yubai's suspicion if he does this?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Mrs. Zhou is here."
Fu Xiaozhi: "If it's really what you guessed, then this person on Thursday is too scary."
Jiang Mingzhu fell silent and did not answer.
After a few minutes, she said to Fu Xiaozhi, "Zhizhi, please do me a favor."

After Zhan Yubai came out from the police station, Zhou Li asked her to rest at home for a few days.
Zhan Yubai couldn't figure out Zhou Li's attitude and couldn't test him. The only way was to catch Jin Rou.
Jin Rou has a kind nature and has always regarded her as her "saviour". As long as Jin Rou believes in her, everything will be easy.
Zhan Yubai drove to Zhou's house early in the morning. When he entered, he found that Jin Rou was not in the living room, only Zhou Zhanghui was reading a book.
"Uncle Zhou.
"Zhan Yubai said hello politely.
Zhou Zhang replied: "Are you looking for Jin Rou?"
Zhan Yubai: "Zhou Li gave me a holiday and I came back to spend time with my aunt."
Zhou Zhang replied: "Well, has the matter at the police station been settled?"
Zhan Yubai: "...well, Zhou Li has taken care of everything."
Zhou Zhang replied: "Be more careful next time you hire someone to do something. Fortunately, the police investigated quickly this time and cleared you. You don't always have such good luck."
Zhou Zhanghui rarely spoke so much to Zhan Yubai, and Zhan Yubai guessed that this incident might have aroused his dissatisfaction.
She immediately lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Yes, what Uncle Zhou taught me is that I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
Zhou Zhang replied: "That's all. Since it has been resolved, I won't mention it anymore. Be careful in everything from now on. You are now half of the Zhou family. It is best to be cautious in your words and actions."
Zhan Yubai: "Uncle's lesson is right."
Zhou Zhang replied: "Jin Rou went out to see a Chinese medicine doctor early in the morning. You can come later."
Zhan Yubai: "Okay, I'll leave first."
After Zhan Yubai went out, Zhou Zhang walked back to the floor-to-ceiling window and watched Zhan Yubai's car drive away before turning around and going upstairs.
In the master bedroom, Jin Rou is sitting on the sofa with a serious face, unable to see her usual relaxation and happiness.
Zhou Zhang walked back to his wife, sat down and hugged her into his arms: "Are you still thinking about that?"
Jin Rou leaned against him, "Why did she do this? She was obviously a kind child before."
Zhou Zhang replied: "You are too kind."
Jin Rou: "But it was true that she gave me a kidney. I thought..."
Zhou Zhang replied: "She will get more rewards after giving you a kidney. Mrs. Zhou, not everyone is as kind as you."
Zhou Zhang had countless readers and already knew Zhan Yubai’s purpose of donating the kidney, but after all, he saved Jin Rou’s life, so it’s hard to say more.
In Zhan Yubai's opinion, kidneys can be exchanged. One kidney can be exchanged for Zhou Li's wife's position and a lifetime of prosperity and wealth. It is worth it.
Zhan Yubai's position in the Zhan family is so awkward, and it is normal for people living in that kind of environment to develop values that put interests first.
Although Zhou Zhanghui didn't like her, he didn't think she was a vicious person because of it. This incident also served as a reminder to him.
Recalling his previous conversation with Zhou Li, Zhou Zhanghui reminded Jin Rou: "You have to be mentally prepared. She may be completely different from the person you know."
Jin Rou: "Do you know something?"
Zhou Zhang replied: "You are too simple-minded. If I tell you, you might not be able to get along with her. It would arouse suspicion."
Jin Rou: "..."
Zhou Zhang replied: "You and I haven't gone on vacation for a long time. Where do you want to go?"
Jin Rou immediately understood what Zhou Zhanghui meant: "Let's go, over there on Thursday..."
"He's almost thirty and doesn't need his parents to clean up his mess." Zhou Zhang returned and touched Jin Rou's hair: "How about going to Miami?"
——
Half past seven in the evening, on the outskirts of the city.
Zhou Li got out of the car and looked at the villa in front of him, frowning slightly.
Before he could think about it, his phone rang, and Fu Xiaozhi's name appeared on the screen.
Zhou Li picked it up and heard Fu Xiaozhi urging: "Are you there? Come in quickly!"
Zhou Li: "I understand."
He hung up the phone and walked towards the security door. When he got closer, he realized that the door was open.
Zhou Li held the handle and pushed the door open.
