The expression on Xu Siyan's face was a little unnatural when he saw Jiang Mingzhu. He glanced at Zhou Li behind Jiang Mingzhu, and then explained to her: "Fourth brother arranged for me to pick you up."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Oh, thank you."
She knew that Xu Siyan had helped a lot this time, so she took the opportunity to thank him.
Jiang Mingzhu's attitude was not too warm, but it was much better than before. Xu Siyan pursed his lips when he heard this, and his eyes were fixed on her face for a long time.
Until Zhou Li walked up and took Jiang Mingzhu's wrist.
After being glanced at by Zhou Li, Xu Siyan quickly looked away and led the way to the parking space.
Jiang Mingzhu didn't remember to turn on her cell phone until she got in the car.
As soon as the phone was turned on, it received a WeChat message from Fu Xiaozhi.
Fu Xiaozhi forwarded a piece of news. Jiang Mingzhu opened it and saw that it was the Zhan family's statement announcing the severance of relations with Zhan Yubai.
Although the statement is more polite after being polished by public relations, the meaning behind it can be understood by individuals.
The news that Zhan Yubai had been kidnapped had already spread a lot. The Zhan family issued a statement to sever ties at this time, which was equivalent to indirectly admitting that Zhan Yubai had really done that thing.
Jiang Mingzhu saw several applauding comments below the news.
Apart from this, the remaining large-scale comments were all criticizing the Zhou family, Zhou Li and Wanhua.
Su Min is Jin Rou's attending doctor and has a close relationship with the Zhou family, while Zhan Yubai is Zhou Li's fiancée and an employee of Wanhua.
Not only that, Su Min’s laboratory also has a large investment from Wanhua.
Public opinion on the Internet is very unfriendly to the Zhou family, and most people are judging that Zhou Li was also involved.
Jiang Mingzhu clicked on the relevant news and looked at it, and found that Wanhua's stock price had dropped by the limit today.
She also saw a video of reporters surrounding Wanhua’s building, and some reporters even broadcast live on their mobile phones.
There are countless comments criticizing Zhou Li. Anonymous comments on the Internet include all kinds of unpleasant things.
Jiang Mingzhu's face turned pale and her brows furrowed tightly.
After Zhou Li noticed this scene, he immediately asked her: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Mingzhu raised her head to look at him.
She licked her dry lips: "Have you watched the news?"
Zhou Li: "What?"
Jiang Mingzhu handed him the phone.
Zhou Li briefly browsed the content on the screen, with no expression on his face.
Jiang Mingzhu didn't notice his emotional ups and downs from beginning to end: "Why don't you clarify this? It's not good for Wanhua."
Zhou Li: "The police will clarify it for me."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Then when will they clarify?"
Zhou Li: "It will happen when the time comes."
Xu Siyan was driving in the front seat and heard the conversation between the two of them clearly.
He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Mingzhu in the rearview mirror. After seeing her pale face and worried expression, his fingers unconsciously tightened on the steering wheel.
After Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li went to southern Yunnan together, her attitude towards Zhou Li seemed to be different.
She must have been worried about Zhou Li just now.
Xu Siyan's throat was a little sore, and he was holding a breath in his chest.
He forced himself to take his eyes away from Jiang Mingzhu and concentrate on driving.
——
The journey was smooth, and in the evening, the car stopped at the entrance of the Criminal Police Brigade.
As soon as Jiang Mingzhu got out of the car, she saw Fu Xiaozhi and Zhan Yanqing.
Not surprised to see Fu Xiaozhi, but Zhan Yanqing...
When Jiang Mingzhu was stunned, Zhan Yanqing had already walked up to her. The person who had always been carefree was now a little cautious.
"Jiang Jiang." Zhan Yanqing called her out loud.
Jiang Mingzhu hadn't heard this name for a long time. People around her called her "Zhuzhu", and only Zhan Yanqing called her that.
Jiang Mingzhu: "
You know it all. "
Zhan Yanqing: "Yes."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I'm sorry."
Zhan Yanqing: "I should say this to you."
Thinking of what Zhan Yubai did, Zhan Yanqing felt ashamed, "If my parents and I had known her face earlier, your brother wouldn't have..."
Before Zhan Yanqing could finish his words, Fu Xiaozhi grabbed his arm hard and was forced to interrupt.
Meeting Fu Xiaozhi's eyes, Zhan Yanqing understood what was going on.
He immediately shut up and never mentioned Pei Ye again.
Zhou Li happened to come over at this time, and he naturally stopped next to Jiang Mingzhu.
This was the first time Zhan Yanqing saw the two of them standing together, and he couldn't tell how he felt.
In fact, his feelings for Jiang Mingzhu were not unforgettable. He had previously accepted the fact that she and Yuanye were "together."
Just thinking about how much she had done for her brother's sake, I couldn't help but feel pity.
After Zhou Li, Fu Xiaozhi and Zhan Yanqing nodded in greeting, he said to Jiang Mingzhu: "Go in first."
"Sister...fourth brother!" Zhan Yanqing called out to Zhou Li.
Zhou Li: "What's wrong?"
Zhan Yanqing: "The Zhan family has already issued a statement to sever ties with her. The Zhou family is now greatly affected. You should also ask the Wanhua Public Relations Department to make preparations. Don't be delayed by her."
Zhou Li: "Yeah."
Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li were taken to the office by Captain Chen, while Fu Xiaozhi and Zhan Yanqing could only wait outside.
Captain Chen invited Jiang Mingzhu to sit down: "Hello, Miss Jiang, I have some questions related to the case that I need you to answer."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Okay."
Captain Chen: "Do you have any evidence to prove the relationship between Pei Yegu and Zhan Yubai back then?"
Jiang Mingzhu shook her head.
If there was evidence, she wouldn't have to wait so many years: "When he had the accident, Zhan Yubai took his mobile phone away."
Captain Chen: "Where is the witness?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Liu Pei counts as one, but he is already dead."
"The one who was silenced by Zhan Yubai before." Jiang Mingzhu added.
Captain Chen: "Are all the other witnesses and physical evidence gone? Think about it again."
Jiang Mingzhu was silent for a few minutes.
Zhou Li sat next to her and looked at her intently.
"There is one, but I'm not sure." Jiang Mingzhu raised her hand and touched her ears, "My brother gave me two pairs of identical earrings to Zhan Yubai and me, but she didn't regard him as her boyfriend at all. Most likely I won’t leave anything behind.”
Captain Chen: "What kind of earrings?"
Jiang Mingzhu took off the earrings and put them on the table: "This is it."
Captain Chen took out his mobile phone and took a photo.
Zhou Li's eyes focused on the four-leaf clover earring on the table, and memories of the past flooded into his mind like a tide.
It turned out to be Pei Ye's gift - in fact, he should have the answer in his heart.
Captain Chen took the photo and looked at Zhou Li: "We need to search where she lived."
Zhou Li: "I will inform you to cooperate."
Captain Chen: "I have seen the public opinions of the Zhou family and Wanhua. There will be a statement here at eight o'clock tonight."
Zhou Li: "Okay."
Captain Chen: "I'm causing trouble for you."
Zhou Li shook his head: "What did the factory find?"
Captain Chen made a general statement. After all, it involved the confidentiality of the case investigation.
But after Jiang Mingzhu heard what he said, she suddenly started to retching.
