It's already off work at the moment, and the downstairs hall is deserted. Zhou He had been drinking coffee for an afternoon, but did not drink any more coffee, and after sitting down, he looked sideways outside.

He Changhui came down after a while, and Zhou He got up and called Uncle He.

He raised his hand, motioned for her to be polite, and led her outside.

The driver had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he saw them go out, he respectfully opened the door. When he got into the car, he started the car without He Changhui's instructions.

Although he had already gotten off work, He Changhui was busy and connected a few phone calls.

After hanging up the phone, He Changhui's eyebrows were already a little tired. Probably because he was afraid that Zhou Hehui would be nervous, he put away his mobile phone and said softly: "Just follow me and listen to it later." ”

This is to let Zhou He stop talking.

Zhou He nodded and said yes.

The place of appointment was not far from He Changhui's company, and the car stopped after a while. Zhou He originally thought that the place he made the appointment would be an occasion for socializing, but it was not, and the place was in a private restaurant.

Knowing that He Changhui was coming, the manager personally waited at the door, and when he saw him, he respectfully called Mr. He and said, "The Chunzi private room is empty, and Mr. Zeng has arranged it in the Chunzi private room." People just came. ”

He Changhui nodded and said something hard. Then he turned around and looked at Zhou He, and said gently: "I'll go over first, Manager Zhao will take you over later." ”

Zhou He didn't quite understand what he meant, but he didn't say anything and nodded.

He Changhui's figure quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor, and Manager Zhao gave a few more orders to the people below, and then said politely: "Miss Zhou, please." ”

As he spoke, he led the way, and Zhou He followed behind him. After taking two steps, the manager said, "There is a small cubicle in the private room, and you can hear the conversation outside." You just listen to it inside. ”

He Changhui brought her here to let her listen to it in person. But it's not very convenient to socialize with her, since there is a way to hear their conversation without alerting the other party, it is natural to use it.

Only then did Zhou He know why he had just mentioned that the private room had been vacated.

She whispered thank you.

Manager Zhao smiled and asked her not to be polite, said no more, took her to the innermost room, and opened the door.

There is a bonsai next to the door of this small door, and if you don't pay attention, you won't notice that it's a door.

Inside is a very narrow mezzanine, and a small sofa is arranged. Manager Zhao motioned for her to go in and didn't follow in, and gently closed the door.

Although you can't see the situation in the private room here, you can clearly hear the conversation between He Changhui and people. I haven't gotten into the topic yet, and I'm just talking politely.

Manager Zhao was very polite, and after a while, the small door opened again, he came over with fruits and snacks, and said in a low voice: "Miss Zhou, you eat some to cushion your stomach first." ”

If he dares to speak, it proves that the voice of this side cannot be heard in the private room. Zhou He said thank you.

He didn't stay long, and soon went down.

The waiting time was long and difficult, and Zhou He didn't touch the things on the table, and listened to the conversation between He Changhui and the man.

He Changhui didn't get into the topic quickly, and after three rounds of drinking, he asked in a casual tone.

The man said with a haha, that he was still concerned about it. But he refused to reveal anything, saying that he didn't know much. The only thing I told Ken was that Cheng Wei didn't suffer much in it. It's just that freedom is restricted.

Zhou He didn't expect that even the person He Changhui was looking for would refuse to reveal any news, and his heart was even heavier. The only thing that is slightly reassuring is that Cheng Wei did not suffer inside.

It was already past ten o'clock after the entertainment, and after sending people away, Manager Zhao took Zhou He and He Changhui to the private room upstairs again. I personally re-served the meal.

He Changhui didn't have much appetite after drinking, and Zhou He didn't have an appetite either, and the food hardly moved.

He knew that Zhou He was worried, so he groaned a little and said, "Don't worry too much, there shouldn't be anything." He didn't suffer inside, he was probably just cooperating with the investigation. ”

Although the man didn't say it explicitly, he said that Cheng Wei didn't suffer, which was telling them that Cheng Wei had nothing to do for the time being. If he really has something, it is impossible for him to be free from suffering in it.

Zhou He nodded and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

He Changhui raised his hand to stop her, signaling her not to be polite, and said, "I'll find someone again to see if I can find any news." After a slight pause, he then asked, "Are you here for the time being or do you want to go back?"

When Zhou He came, he already knew that he couldn't go back for the time being, so he asked for leave. Now hearing He Changhui ask, he was silent for a moment and said, "I want to stay here for a while." She hesitated for a moment, and said, "My mother, please keep it a secret for me." ”

This means that she won't go to the He family's villa.

That's right, at this time, it is inconvenient for her to go back. If you want to hide from Li Ying, you have to think of all kinds of excuses and reasons when you go out.

He Changhui nodded, did not persuade her to go back, and said, "Okay." Call me if you have something. ”

He is very gentle, and he is more like an elder than Ren Yurong.

He was enlightened and didn't ask about the relationship between Zhou He and Cheng Wei until he left. He originally wanted the driver to send Zhou He back, but Lao Cao was still waiting, Zhou He refused, and watched him leave, so he took out his mobile phone to call Lao Cao.

Lao Cao had been waiting here, and after receiving a call from Zhou He, he drove the car over. Zhou Ji didn't hide it from him, and told him that he still hadn't heard any useful news. He said the same thing.

This little bit of news can only make everyone feel a little more at ease. Although Lao Cao himself was also worried, seeing the tired look on Zhou He's face, he comforted her and told her not to worry too much, Cheng Xunji was a natural person, and there would be nothing wrong.

Zhou He was tired and weak, and he couldn't squeeze out a smile when he wanted to, but he just nodded.

She and Lao Cao had their own thoughts, and neither of them spoke for the rest of the time. Lao Cao drove Zhou He back to where he lived, and told her that today he asked his aunt to come over and put something in the refrigerator to clean up, and asked her to call him if she needed anything.

In the past few days, Zhou He has been physically and mentally exhausted, and when he returned to Cheng Wei's residence, he took a bath and fell asleep in the bathtub. It wasn't until the water in the bathtub got cold that she woke up from the cold.

It was already past three o'clock in the morning, and she didn't even know when the water was cold. She was afraid of catching a cold with a stuffy nose, so she took a hot shower again, and then dried her hair and lay on the bed.

She had already slept once, and she couldn't sleep in bed now. Her mind was empty, and she stared at the ceiling with her eyes open.

I couldn't find any news, and the only thing Zhou He could do was wait. Zhu Jian knew that she was here on the third day after she came to Kyoto. She hurriedly came to find Zhou He, and when she saw her, she complained, "Why didn't you tell me when you came over?"

Zhou He smiled and said, "Didn't you tell me?" she said and poured tea for Zhu Key.

Zhu Key's eyes were worried, and he said, "Is there any news now?"

Zhou He shook his head and said, "Not yet, just wait." ”

Zhu Jian nodded and said, "I went back to my house yesterday and asked my father, he was in another department, and he didn't know either. But having said that, since the boss intends to keep it secret, he shouldn't be able to ask anything. I can only wait. ”

The atmosphere in the room was a little dull, and Zhu Jian was worried that Zhou He would be alone, so he didn't leave, and stayed in the evening.

There are things stuffed in the refrigerator, so you don't have to go out to buy groceries. After cooking the meal, Zhu Jian took out the red wine from Cheng Wei's wine cabinet and poured it, and the two drank the wine silently.

Both of them were in a bad mood, and the meal didn't move much but went to half a bottle.

Zhu Key's amount of wine was not as good as Zhou He, and when he was half drunk, he took the wine glass to the balcony and sat down on the spot, looked at Zhou He with a pair of misty eyes, and said, "Ah He, you haven't been able to put him down." ”

Zhou He's numb heart suddenly ached, and he took a sip of wine without speaking.

Zhu Jian also took a sip of wine, and muttered again: "You are just too stupid." "Only people who are too stupid will worry about not being able to let go in such a situation.

The other party is doing well, so they will be separated from each other. And once something happens, you will turn back regardless of yourself.

Zhou He closed his eyes and wanted to say something, but his mind was empty. She didn't want to think about these things, and convinced herself that she couldn't let go. Instead, Cheng Wei helped her a lot before. At this time, it was time for her to step up. Although he was so convinced, he was at a loss, and he leaned on the sofa in a daze.

Both of them drank too much in the end, and Zhu Jian slept directly on the sofa. Zhou He was slightly better than her, and after throwing up in the bathroom once, he stayed for a long time, and washed up haphazardly before returning to the room and lying on the bed.

I thought I would be able to rest well after getting drunk, but I didn't. The more drunk you are, the more sober your mind becomes. Things that she didn't want to think about before came to mind, and she curled up and hugged her head tightly.

The result of a hangover is a splitting headache the next day. Zhou He hadn't drunk wine for a long time, and his reaction was more serious than Zhu Key, and his stomach was uncomfortable and his head was uncomfortable.

Zhu Jian stayed here for one night last night, and he had to go back today, so he left after breakfast. Although she didn't let Zhou He send her, Zhou He still sent her downstairs and stopped her car before returning upstairs.

When she took out the key to open the door and looked at the opposite door, she remembered that she hadn't seen the tenant on the other side for a few days. I don't know if it's a business trip or what.

She paused to open the door, and stood for a moment before opening the door and entering.

The waiting time was hard, and she had nothing to kill time. After changing his clothes, he went out for a walk. Then he stopped outside the place where Cheng Wei was.

The whole day was in a trance, and it wasn't until evening came that she remembered that she had been outside for a day. She was going to take a taxi back, but as soon as she stopped the car on the side of the road, her mobile phone rang.

She originally thought it would be Lao Cao's call, but when she took out her mobile phone, she found that the call was from Li Peiyuan.

Zhou He subconsciously pursed his lips, but finally picked up the phone. called out to the little uncle.

Li Peiyuan's side was very quiet, and he asked, "Where are you now?"

His tone was as if he already knew she was in Kyoto. Zhou He was silent for a moment, and before he could speak, he said, "I'll get off work immediately, where I'll pick you up." As if knowing that Zhou Hehui refused, after a pause, he continued, "I have something to say to you." ”

Zhou He looked around, didn't say where he was, was silent for a while, and said, "You go home, I'll just take a taxi." ”

Li Peiyuan didn't insist, answered a good word, told her to be careful on the road, and then hung up the phone.

Zhou He didn't know how Li Peiyuan knew that he had come to Kyoto, so he stood in place for a while before he went to stop the car.

At this time, it is rush hour, and there is some traffic jam. It was already past eight o'clock when she arrived at the old house. Li Peiyuan had already come back to change his clothes and was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.

Dinner was already on the table, and the aunt was happy to see Zhou He come back. I didn't ask her why she came back, only asked her if it was hot, and asked her to sit down quickly and drink a bowl of her chilled mung bean soup first.

Zhou He thanked her and drank a bowl of mung bean soup before sitting down at the table with Li Peiyuan.

No one spoke during the meal, and when the meal was over, the two went to the study, and Li Peiyuan asked, "When did you come back?"

Zhou He lowered his head like a student who made a mistake, and said, "It's been a few days since I came back." ”

Li Peiyuan already knew what she was doing when she came back, so he just nodded and didn't ask anything else. After being silent for a while, he said, "Don't inquire anymore, Cheng Wei is only under investigation now." There are too many people involved in the matter on Hehuan Street, so it will be kept secret for the time being. ”

The information he received from him was reliable. But he's talking now, not later.

Zhou He's body stiffened slightly, making his throat astringent. After being silent for a long time, he still asked, "Uncle, ...... What will happen?"

Li Peiyuan was also silent, and after a minute or two, he said, "There are other people in charge of him there, I don't know very well." If he hadn't done anything illegal, he would have come out after cooperating with the investigation. I haven't heard any bad news about him for the time being. ”

But the chaos on Hehuan Street was known to both of them, and he also didn't know what Cheng Wei had done. What he thinks is the same as Zhouhe, Hehuan Street is chaotic, and it is not easy to be innocent.

Zhou Yiyi didn't speak, and after a long while, he said with difficulty: "He has cooperated with you, what if...... Is there anything that can be overdone?"

She said and looked up at Li Peiyuan.

Li Peiyuan's eyebrows were a little tired, and he was silent for a while before he said, "Ahe, this is not something I can do. ”

Although he is in a high position, he also has many involuntary bodies.

Zhou He knew that he was too anxious, smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm sorry uncle, I ......"

Before she finished speaking, Li Peiyuan raised his hand to stop her from talking, looked at the time, and said, "He has nothing to do for the time being, go and rest, I will tell you any news." ”

Zhou He wanted to say thank you, but this thank you was rusty. In the end, she still didn't say, knowing that she shouldn't ask again, she still couldn't hold back, and still asked, "Uncle, when will the lawyer see him?"

"If there are no accidents, he will be free again after the investigation. No one will see him until the investigation is completed. Li Peiyuan replied.

Zhou He didn't ask anything more now, and nodded.

She was about to go out, and just as she was about to turn around, she heard Li Peiyuan ask again, "Where do you live now?"

Zhou He stopped and said in a low voice, "Live on Cheng Wei's side." ”

It's not quite right for her to live there.

Li Peiyuan didn't say anything, nodded, paused, and said, "Let the driver go and bring your luggage for you, and stay back." ”

Since Li Peiyuan has already spoken, she naturally can't refuse. said: "I don't have any luggage, I'll just go over and get it myself tomorrow." ”

Li Peiyuan nodded and didn't say anything more.

Zhou He said "Uncle You'll rest early", and then went out of the study.

Li Peiyuan sat in the study for a long time without moving, and after more than ten minutes, he took out a cigarette and smoked it slowly.

To live back in the Li family's old house, Zhou He called Lao Cao the next day. said that she would live back in the Li family's old house, and asked him where he was, and she gave him the key to the house.

Lao Cao was on the company's side, saying that he couldn't pull away now, so he asked Zhou He to keep the key for the time being.

Zhou Ji didn't want to stay, saying that he would go to the company in a while and let him come out to get it when the time came.

Lao Cao couldn't resist her, so he could only respond.

She was originally going to give the key to Lao Cao and leave, but when she got to the place, she couldn't get through to call him, and no one answered, so she should have gone to get busy.

Zhou He had to wait downstairs now. Fortunately, he called back not long and asked if Zhou He had arrived.

Lao Cao came out in a short time, and in just a few days, he lost a lot of weight. beckoned Zhou He to go to the company.

Zhou Ji didn't go, gave him the key, and then told him the news he had heard from Li Peiyuan.

Lao Cao didn't breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the news, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Zhou, maybe the situation is not as optimistic as we thought. He hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "Just yesterday, the people under Mr. Cheng's men who were on Hehuan Street before were taken away. ”

He didn't intend to tell Zhou He, but by this time, he had no one to talk to.

Zhou He's heart tightened, and asked, "Did you say anything when you took people away?"

Lao Cao shook his head and said, "No." It was the same as when Cheng Zongli was taken away, and he only said that he would let him go over and be investigated. ”

The people in front who were invited in haven't come out yet, and the people in the back have gone in again. This does not look like a good omen in any way.

Zhou He pursed his lips and did not speak.

Lao Cao smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Zhou, I shouldn't have told you this. But now the company is panicked, and I can't see Mr. Cheng. I really don't know the bottom of my heart. ”

Zhou He was silent for a moment and said, "As long as he is innocent, he will come out after the investigation." After a slight pause, she continued, "If there's anything you need me to do, just say it." ”

Lao Cao said with a wry smile: "Mr. Cheng has made too many enemies in the past few years, and I am worried that someone will take advantage of the opportunity...... Anyway, Mr. Cheng's side, if there is really anything, I have to trouble you to do more. ”

He was now worried that someone was taking advantage of the opportunity to embarrass them, and he might come in for investigation at any time. Although he has always been far away from the affairs of Hehuan Street, he is not ignorant.

Although there are people in the company who are panicking, the management is there, and there will be no chaos in a short period of time. But if he goes in, if Cheng Wei really has anything, he will be completely isolated at that time. That's why he told Zhou He about this.

Zhou He was even more powerless at this moment, and said, "Don't think about it. I'll ask again and see if I can find a chance to meet him. ”

As long as I see Cheng Wei, I know what to do.

Thinking of this, Zhou He's heart calmed down a little. But it is not easy to meet Cheng Wei.

Lao Cao has already found the relationship he should be looking for, and at this time he can only wait for news. Hearing Zhou He say that, he nodded in response.

Everything that should be said has been said, and Zhou He was about to leave when he saw a familiar figure get out of the taxi.

Lao Cao also saw the figure, and his face changed. Han Xin had already walked over.

Although she hadn't seen her for a few years, Han Xin's face hadn't changed from before, just lost a lot of weight. She wore a white dress, which was still eye-catching.

Zhou Ji didn't expect to run into her, so he didn't move for a while. Lao Cao said in a low voice: "Miss Zhou, Miss Han has been in a nursing home all these years. She...... Not very stable. Mr. Cheng's affairs were hidden from her. ”

He only had time to say that, and Han Xin walked over.

She looked no different from before, looked at Zhou He, and said, "It's a coincidence, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

She usually stays in the sanatorium, and even when she comes out, the people inside will accompany her. Lao Cao didn't know why she came out alone today. Obviously, there are a lot of things, but now it is even more anxious. Without waiting for Zhou He to speak, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Miss Han, why are you here?"

Han Xin has said that it is good or bad over the years, and it is not bad or not. She knew very well that there was no possibility between herself and Cheng Wei, and she had never looked for Cheng Wei in the past two years. When she was sober, she concentrated on painting, and even the expenses of the nursing home were earned by herself.

Han Xin looked at him now and said, "Why can't I come out?"

Lao Cao laughed dryly. She stopped looking at him, looked at Zhou He, and said, "Long time no see, let's have a cup of coffee together." ”

Although she has rarely gone crazy again in the past few years, the scene when she was crazy is still fresh in Lao Cao's memory. He was afraid that she would do something to hurt Zhou He, so he motioned for Zhou He to leave with his eyes, and said, "Miss Zhou is very busy, do you want to go to the company to sit?"

He was going to ask Han Xin to call the nursing home when he went to sit.

But Han Xin ignored him at all, and looked straight at Zhou He, waiting for her to speak.
