Jiang Mingzhu's obsession is so deep, if she is not allowed to personally participate in solving this matter, she may not be able to let go of it for the rest of her life.

When he was in New York, Zhou Yi heard some things about Jiang Mingzhu from Zheng Rinxu.

Jiang Mingzhu seems to have always wanted to participate in the investigation, but Zheng Rinxu was afraid that she was in danger, so she never agreed.

Zhou Yi analyzed the pros and cons for Zhou Li: "If you let her participate in the investigation together, she will at least be willing to get along with you and communicate with you, and you will strive for a goal together, maybe she will be a little attracted to you."

"If you bury your head in things like you are now, and she doesn't know anything, when you finally give the result, you will be completely finished, and she will either give up on herself, or develop a relationship with Yuan Ye in the process of your investigation and throw herself into his arms." Zhou Yi's fingers lightly knocked on the table, "When the time comes, everything you do is to make wedding dresses for others."

When Zhou Yi said these words, the picture of Jiang Mingzhu and Yuan Ye getting along already appeared in Zhou Li's mind.

His hand clenched the mineral water bottle, and it squeezed it so hard that it made a screeching sound.

Zhou Yi: "Silently pay that set and score the situation, if you pay silently, people will run away."

That's pretty much it: "Think about it yourself."

——

Jiang Mingzhu, He Chuyan and Zheng Rinxu returned to Hong Kong City together.

The next day was the Qingming Festival, and in order to facilitate the sacrifice, Jiang Mingzhu followed Zheng Rin back to the Zheng family's ancestral home.

What I didn't expect was that as soon as I entered the courtyard, I met Zhou Li and Zhou Yi here.

Zhou Yi's appearance in the Zheng family's ancestral house was enough of an accident, and with another Zhou Li, Jiang Mingzhu's brain was down for a few seconds.

When Zheng Rinxu saw the two brothers, his face became a little stern, and his unwelcome was written on his face.

But because Zhou Yi and Sansan had a lot of fun, it was not easy to say anything in front of the children.

Zhou Li's gaze stayed on Jiang Mingzhu.

After Zhou Yi's glance, Zhou Li finally spoke to Jiang Mingzhu: "I'll come to you to talk to you about something."

When Zheng Rin heard this, he looked at Zhou Li.

Jiang Mingzhu: "Oh, you can say it."

Zhou Li: "I want to talk to you alone, okay?"

When Zheng Rinxu was about to object, Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Is Mr. Zheng so unconfident in himself, this is in the Zheng family's ancestral house, what flowers can the fourth child turn out?"

After listening to Zhou Yi's words, Jiang Mingzhu also felt that there was a certain amount of truth: "Go to the rockery."

On this side of the rockery, there is no one around, and only the sound of gurgling water can be heard.

After stopping, Jiang Mingzhu did not take the initiative to speak.

Zhou Li lowered his eyes and looked at her.

She was wearing a baggy T-shirt today, sweatpants and canvas shoes underneath, no makeup, and her hair was tied up haphazardly.

She was a lot quieter than before.

Zhou Li took a breath and asked her, "Do you want to investigate this case with me?"

Jiang Mingzhu himself was lacking in interest, and his eyes kept staring at the pebbles under his feet.

But when she heard Zhou Li's words, she immediately raised her head and met his eyes.

Zhou Li saw the expectation and hope in those beautiful eyes, he hadn't seen her so vivid for too long.

But this state of affairs did not last long.

I don't know what I thought of, Jiang Mingzhu's eyes suddenly dimmed.

She asked him sensibly, "What about the conditions?"

Zhou Li's shoulders stiffened.

The three words of calm, each of which smashed into his heart with unmistakable precision.

This is what he already looks like in her mind.

She thought there was only a deal to be made between them.

When he asked her if she wanted anything, she reflexively thought he was trying to threaten her.

Zhou Li's throat was sour.

Jiang Mingzhu waited for a long time and didn't hear Zhou Li's reply, only saw his complicated expression, like

It's disappointment, and it's a little painful.

Jiang Mingzhu: "What are your conditions?"

She made an exception to meet with Yuanye, which was tantamount to violating the agreement, and Zhou Li would probably make some more demands.

It doesn't matter, she can do it all.

The barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, and she has nothing that she can't lose.

Jiang Mingzhu was mentally prepared for this, but Zhou Li said, "There are no conditions."

Jiang Mingzhu was stunned and looked at him in surprise.

Under her surprised gaze, Zhou Li repeated again: "I didn't think about threatening you, when I return to Beicheng, I will show you all the clues."

"If you want to go with me to investigate, I'll call you when I act." It was rare for him to say such a long paragraph.

Jiang Mingzhu still didn't believe it, Zhou Li's attitude changed so abruptly that she needed a lot of time to digest his words.

After a long time, she asked, "Why?"

Zhou Li: "I told you."

Jiang Mingzhu: "...... What did you say?"

Zhou Li seems to have returned to her previous appearance, and if she doesn't speak clearly, she has to play dumb riddles with her.

Zhou Li stared at her eyes for almost a minute, and his lips moved: "I said it in the hospital."

Hospital?

Jiang Mingzhu quickly searched for memories in his mind.

The last time she was hospitalized was when she had gastroenteritis.

Zhou Li went to the hospital one night and told her that he liked her, and gave her his card.

Zhou Li: "Do you remember?"

Jiang Mingzhu: "...... Oh."

Her voice sounded nonchalant and unresponsive.

As if his liking was not worth mentioning to her.

Zhou Li clenched his fists, his knuckles aching.

Zhou Yi asked him why he didn't make his words clear, and this was the answer.

Even if he says it and doesn't get a response, what's the point of saying it.

Zhou Li: "I have one more question for you."

Jiang Mingzhu: "What?"

Zhou Li: "Do you like the wilderness?"

Jiang Mingzhu didn't speak for a long time, and Zhou Li stared at her like this, a little bit of a non-stop when he didn't hear the answer.

Jiang Mingzhu also gave the answer as he wished: "I like it, just like with family and friends."

Fang Qinyang and Fu Xiaozhi both said that love makes people blush and heartbeat, and she has never been like this in front of the wilderness.

Zhou Li: "What about the love between men and women?"

Jiang Mingzhu: "No, I haven't had this kind of affection for anyone."

Zhou Li couldn't tell what it was like to hear this answer.

He shouldn't be happy that he hasn't had anybody?

He remembered He Chuyan's words again.

Zhou Li: "What about Pei Ye."

Jiang Mingzhu reflexively said, "He's my brother."

This is said too quickly, it is to lie to others and to deceive yourself.

He Chuyan is not wrong, Jiang Mingzhu's relationship between men and women is completely chaotic, or rather, Pei Yeyan's departure has made her completely incompetent.

So even if she doesn't like him, she can still sleep with him.

Zhou Li: "Tomorrow you go to worship him, I want to be together, okay?"

Jiang Mingzhu: "No."

She was subconsciously a little repulsed.

Zhou Li: "You can use this as a quid pro quo."

After the words were spoken, Zhou Li regretted a little, saying that he would not threaten her, but he didn't hold back.

But it was too late.

Because Jiang Mingzhu has already agreed: "Oh, whatever you want."
