Jiang Mingzhu stopped going to work in Rongxing the day after she confessed to Yuan Ye.
After getting up in the morning, Jiang Mingzhu sent Zhou Li a message on WeChat: [I talked with Yuanye, and I have done what I promised you. 】
Zhou Li replied with one word: [Oh]
Jiang Mingzhu didn't care what Zhou Li's attitude was, as long as he saw the news and kept his promise.
The next step is to contact Zheng Linxu.
Jiang Mingzhu found Zheng Linxu’s WeChat account: [Are you free? Call me back when you are free, I have something to say. 】
——
Liang Cong received a call from Zhou Li early in the morning and was shocked when he heard that he wanted to rest for a few days.
Zhou Li is an out-and-out workaholic, and he will come to the company to do anything in the world. Liang Cong followed him after graduation, and this was the first time he encountered such a situation.
Liang Cong said with concern: "Mr. Zhou, are you sick? Do you want to see your family doctor?"
Zhou Li: "No need."
Liang Cong: "Okay, if others ask, I will tell you that you are on a business trip."
Zhou Li: "Yeah."
After hanging up the phone, Liang Cong was still shocked. Apart from being shocked, he was also curious about what happened that made Zhou Li make an exception and not come to work.
Speaking of making an exception, Jiang Mingzhu's face suddenly flashed across Liang Cong's mind.
For such a long time, Zhou Li had only made exceptions for her. Could it be that this time it was also for her?
Not long after talking to Zhou Li on the phone, Liang Cong bumped into Zhan Yubai who came over to deliver breakfast to Zhou Li.
Liang Cong: "Manager Zhan, good morning."
Zhan Yubai: "Liang Zhuzao, has Zhou Li arrived?"
Liang Cong: "Mr. Zhou went on an impromptu business trip early in the morning and will not be in the company these days."
Zhan Yubai's face turned a little ugly.
Although Zhou Li has always been perfunctory with her, she doesn't want to be exposed in front of others.
Her fiancée was on a business trip. She, the fiancée, found out about this from her assistant, so where could she put her face?
Liang Cong: "Mr. Zhou just called me a minute ago. I should notify you soon."
Zhan Yubai's face improved a little. She smiled and handed the bag in her hand to Liang Cong: "Since he's not here, I'll give breakfast to Liang Cong. Thank you for your hard work."
Liang Cong took it and said, "Thank you, Manager Zhan, I'll go and get busy."
After Zhan Yubai said goodbye to Liang Cong, he dialed Zhou Li's number. The call was answered quickly: "What's wrong?"
Zhan Yubai: "I brought you breakfast just now. Liang Zhu said that you were on a temporary business trip. Is there any problem?"
Zhan Yubai played the role of fiancée dutifully and cared about Zhou Li's career.
Zhou Li: "Well, let's go to Nancheng Factory and get ready to board the plane."
Zhan Yubai: "You sound tired, don't work too hard."
Zhou Li: "Okay."
Zhan Yubai: "Then you can board the plane. Send me a WeChat message when you arrive. I'll go to work too."
Zhou Li: "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Mingzhu received a call from Zheng Linxu at around three o'clock in the afternoon.
After answering the phone, Jiang Mingzhu was a little stunned, "Why are you still up so late? It's already early in the morning."
Zheng Lin said: "I'm a little busy today."
Jiang Mingzhu: "You should teach me to pay attention to my body, you should pay attention."
Although the tone was reproachful, it was filled with deep concern.
Zheng Linxu laughed when he heard this, "Okay, listen to you, I will pay attention to it in the future."
"What do you want to tell me?" Zheng Lin said and got back to business.
After talking about this matter, Jiang Mingzhu's expression became more serious. She got up from the sofa and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Jiang Mingzhu looked at the scene outside the window, took a deep breath, and made up her mind: "Zhou Li and I have a showdown."
Zheng Linxu on the other side of the phone was silent for a few seconds.
"Why?" he asked.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Because I found out that he was also checking
Zhan Yubai and Su Min were doing in vivo experiments. "
Zheng Linxu was silent for a longer time this time.
Jiang Mingzhu thought Zheng Linxu was curious, so she repeated her reasoning to Zheng Linxu.
Zheng Linxu on the other end of the phone frowned, his heart sank to the bottom, and he rubbed his eyebrows with his hands.
Jiang Mingzhu is really too smart, so smart that people have no choice but to do anything.
Zheng Linxu: "What did you talk to Zhou Li about?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I talked about my brother and mentioned cooperation, and he agreed."
Jiang Mingzhu took the initiative to omit the rude requests made by Zhou Li. For her, this was not the point, and she did not want Zheng Linxu to be distracted by these trivial matters.
But Jiang Mingzhu didn't mention these things, and when the words reached Zheng Linxu's ears, it became: Jiang Mingzhu confessed his identity, and Zhou Li agreed to cooperate.
No twists and turns.
When Zheng Linxu was deep in thought, Jiang Mingzhu said, "I'll give you his contact information. You guys first..."
"Zhuzhu." Zheng Linxu interrupted her by calling her name, "Actually, Zhou Li and I had a phone call a few days ago."
Zheng Linxu didn't know about Zhou Li's threat to Jiang Mingzhu, so he confessed to her directly.
Jiang Mingzhu fell silent suddenly, clenched her phone tightly with her fingers, and bit her lip with her teeth.
Zheng Lin said that he and Zhou Li had spoken.
Behind these simple words is a huge amount of information.
They have already reached a cooperation.
This means that Zhou Li already knew her identity.
Jiang Mingzhu covered the phone's receiver, adjusted her rapid breathing, and calmed her voice.
"Huh? What did he talk to you about?" Jiang Mingzhu's words sounded the same as usual.
Zheng Lin said: "We are talking about cooperative investigation."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Why did he suddenly look for you?"
Zheng Linxu: "...he knows your identity."
Jiang Mingzhu's body became colder and colder. "When did it happen? How could he find out?"
Zheng Linxu recounted the process of Zhou Li's investigation and deduction to Jiang Mingzhu. Jiang Mingzhu listened to Zheng Linxu's deep and slow voice, her fingers began to tremble, and her teeth left deep bite marks on her lips.
After Zheng Lin finished speaking, Jiang Mingzhu could not find her voice.
Zheng Lin said: "Don't worry, now that the cards have been shown, this matter will be left to me and Zhou Li to resolve. He does have a lot of evidence, and it will be much easier to investigate with cooperation."
Jiang Mingzhu: "...Yeah."
"I understand, you should go to bed early and let's not talk anymore." Jiang Mingzhu forced herself to say goodbye to Zheng Lin and ended the phone call.
She clutched her phone and stared at the trees in the yard, focusing on a single point, her eyes getting more and more sore.
Zhou Li already knew her identity.
He also already knew her purpose of approaching him.
And she also confidently believed that he would not find out about this matter, and even Zhan Yubai did not have the courage to confess to him.
How did he feel when she said those disgusting words to him shamelessly and shamelessly?
What was his mood when she had a showdown with him over wine the night before yesterday?
Oh, Zhou Li should think she is a ***.
She went to confess and talk about cooperation, and Zhou Li followed suit and used this cooperation to threaten her to continue being his lover, and then cut off her connection with Yuanye.
Jiang Mingzhu laughed at herself, her shoulders shaking with laughter.
She thought Zhou Li was the prey, but she didn't expect that he was the hunter watching the prey struggle.
