No matter how the Zhou family servants explained, the group of people never left.
Finally, Mr. Zhou appeared in front of everyone with a cane and an angry face: "What do you want to do?"
A reporter said: "Chairman Zhou, we heard that Ruan disappeared after attending the Zhou family's cocktail party. I would like to ask what you think about this."
Mr. Zhou said angrily: "You already said that she disappeared after attending a cocktail party. What can I say? Could it be that I have to send someone to protect her 24 hours a day?"
A senior member of the Lin family said: "Miss Ruan disappeared because she came to attend the Zhou family's cocktail party. Shouldn't the Zhou family be responsible for this?"
"There are so many people coming to the Zhou family's cocktail party. If I take responsibility for everyone, can I manage it?"
At this time, another reporter said: "We have just received news that Miss Ruan has never left the Zhou family at all. Some people say that her disappearance was a scene directed and acted by the Zhou family. What does Chairman Zhou think of this?"
Mr. Zhou said coldly: "What do I think?
Find the person who said this and let him confront me!"
As soon as Mr. Zhou finished speaking, many reporters asked questions at the same time.
There was a lot of chatter and noise for a while.
Mr. Zhou's face became increasingly ugly.
He snapped: "That's enough! If you want to go in and search, I can let you in. If you don't find anyone, don't blame me for being merciless!"
These people did not answer the call and had no intention of giving in.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, everyone received the news of Ruan Xingwan's appearance almost at the same time. After a few words of apology, they left one after another.
The surroundings finally became quiet again.
Mr. Zhou took a deep breath, leaning on his crutch and looking in the direction they left.
This matter was much more difficult to deal with than he thought.
He didn't expect that in just one year, Ruan Xingwan was no longer the humble little girl he could control.
Judging from today's situation, it is almost impossible to use her to restrain Zhou Cishen in the future.
After returning to the main house, Zhong Xian sat on the sofa in the living room with a cold expression.
Mr. Zhou walked over and sat across from her: "I did this for the sake of the overall situation. If they really break in regardless of tonight, the Zhou family will only lose face."
Zhong Xian sneered: "Does the Zhou family still have any dignity?"
Mr. Zhou didn't say anything. He frowned and thought for a while before saying, "You've been looking for Xu Yue, haven't you? Do you have any news about her?"
Zhong Xian said: "What, you want to find her to renew your relationship?"
Mr. Zhou was dissatisfied: "What are you talking about? How old are you to say this?"
Zhong Xian ignored him.
Mr. Zhou said in a deep voice: "You have also seen that Ruan Xingwan is no longer what she used to be, and we can't touch her.
But if you want to deal with Zhou Cishen, this is just the beginning, so you must find Xu Yue and have the chips in hand before you can negotiate other conditions with him later."
After a pause, he continued: "It is much easier to control Xu Yue than to control Ruan Xingwan. What matters now is to find where she is."
Zhong Xian said lightly: "Do you think it will be easy to find her?"
"Didn't I hear that you already have clues about her?"
Zhong Xian sneered: "That's fake news that Zhou Cishen deliberately threw to me."
Her people had previously found out that Xu Yue was in Ancheng, but when they found her, she had already moved away.
Later, I searched several places one after another, and they were all fake.
Zhou Cishen was obviously walking them for fun.
She now suspects that Xu Yue is in Nancheng.
Mr. Zhou said: "No matter what, we must find her as soon as possible. Only when she is in our hands can we ensure everything is safe."
Zhong Xian stood up, as if she didn't want to talk to him anymore, and went straight upstairs.
At the top of the stairs, Zhou Junnian turned his wheelchair and returned to the room.
…
On the other side, after Ruan Xingwan finished calling Jiang Yan, he sat there and waited.
Jiang Yan said that Zhou Cishen had returned to China and was on the plane.
Her hanging heart had completely dropped.
Not long after, a car stopped in front of Ruan Xingwan, the door opened, and it was Daniel who got out.
He walked towards Ruan Xingwan: "Miss Ruan, are you okay?"
Ruan Xingwan shook his head gently: "I'm fine."
Daniel breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, what exactly do they want to do."
"They wanted to use me to threaten Zhou Cishen, so they staged such a show.
As for Zhou Cishen’s situation, I don’t know yet.”
Daniel said: "He is fine, don't worry."
Ruan Xingwan nodded, then suddenly thought of something, and said, "How did you know I'm here?"
"Jiang Yan told me."
Ruan Xingwan said, Zhou Cishen should have always been in contact with them.
At this time, Jiang Yan also arrived.
He said: "Let's go, I will take you back."
Ruan Xingwan stood up: "Okay."
Daniel stopped her: "Miss Ruan."
Ruan Xingwan turned around: "Is there anything else?"
Daniel pulled his lips: "It's nothing, go back and have a good rest."
"Thanks."
Ruan Xingwan walked to Jiang Yan's car and didn't know if he noticed something. He looked at Daniel's car parked not far away.
The car windows are anti-peeping, so nothing can be seen.
After staring for a few seconds, Ruan Xingwan silently withdrew his gaze, bent down and got into the car.
Jiang Yan said to Daniel: "Let's go."
With that said, he also got in the car.
After the black Bentley drove a certain distance, Ruan Xingwan said: "Take me to the airport."
"Are you going to pick up Zhou Cishen?"
Ruan Xingwan hummed softly.
Jiang Yan said: "It takes more than ten hours to fly from London to Nancheng. If you go back and get some sleep, he hasn't arrived yet."
Ruan Xingwan said: "I can't sleep even when I go back."
Jiang Yan thought for a while, said nothing more, and drove to the airport.
…
After getting in the car, Daniel said: "She has left."
William raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, but there was no emotion in his voice: "Let's go too."
"You are obviously worried about her, why don't you go see her in person."
"What can I say after seeing her?"
Daniel said: "Actually, I feel like she already knows."
William paused: "When did you know?"
"I don't know. It's just my guess. I haven't verified it."
William frowned and said nothing for a while.
Daniel added: "If you think there is a problem with Ruan Chen, I can go talk to him."
After a while, William said: "I heard that before Ruan Jun died, Zhou Cishen sent his DNA for testing."
"……yes."
"And the results haven't come out yet. Do you know why?"
Daniel said nothing.
William said: "Whether it is for me, Xingwan, or Ruan Chen, this matter is a topic that people want to avoid.
Rather than uncovering this scar, it’s better to pretend it doesn’t exist.”
