Chapter 100: The Black Hand Behind the Scenes
The disappearance of Tan Jiuzhou's father is a big deal, since he had an accident, his father has also followed suit, and Old Man Tan has sent a lot of people to investigate, but so far there is still no clue.
Although he grew up beside his mother since he was a child, he was almost impressed by his father's memory.
Every year, except for the necessary moments to come back to make up for the so-called father's love, at other times, Tan Jiuzhou did not have much intersection with his father's illness, but he also knew in his heart that his father loved him.
Li Zhi remembered that Zhou Congee, who was sent abroad since she was a child, was suddenly picked up from abroad by someone from the Tan family, and frequently looked for things in the circle and no one educated her, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.
"Does this matter have anything to do with Zhou Congee?"
Tan Jiuzhou nodded, "It's just a suspicion at the moment." β
There is no direct evidence on his side, and it is currently found that she is secretly contacting some foreign lawbreakers in private, and Tan Jiuzhou has not yet found out how she got in touch with these people.
But what is certain is that before Tan Jiuzhou's father Tan Yunfan had an accident, he once received a phone call, and the caller was Zhou Congee.
At present, Zhou Congee didn't know that Tan Jiuzhou had returned safely, but she knew a little bit about the "shadow" of the Tan family, so even if Tan Jiuzhou really appeared in front of her, it would probably be regarded as a fake, and it was a stand-in cultivated by the Tan family for the heir.
From falling in love to getting engaged, everything went too well.
Tan Jiuzhou himself forgot to talk to Li Zhi about the "shadow", and they didn't go back to use the shadow unless necessary.
"Zhou Congee shouldn't have that much ability, maybe you can investigate from Zhou Congee's mother."
Li Zhi held Tan Jiuzhou's hand and reminded him.
In the bright eyes, Tan Jiuzhou's cold face, the warmth transmitted from the palm of his hand, was tightly held by his big hand.
"Didn't you always think that Zhou Congee was not your father's biological daughter? It may be easier to get results by starting at the source, as well as the old friend your father once mistrusted. β
Tan Yunfan's strength, no one in the port city knew back then.
What can be recognized by him as a friend must not be just a fool, maybe there are other secrets hidden behind this that have not been discovered.
Recently, Tan Jiuzhou not only had to investigate the people who were chasing him, but also had to investigate the disappearance of his father, and a faint voice in his heart was telling him that maybe these two groups of people might be a wave of people.
The man was around her waist in the dark.
As long as he thought that he might not be able to come back and leave her alone, Tan Jiuzhou's heart fluttered.
Although he knew in his heart that even if he was really gone, she could heal herself and take care of herself, but as long as he thought that the man who would be with her on the marriage certificate in the future was not him, and the person who would be buried with her in a hundred years would not be him, Tan Jiuzhou felt very uncomfortable.
"Know, turn back."
Li Zhi was holding Tan Jiuzhou with his back to him, and almost as soon as he turned around, his breath was forcibly seized by the man in front of him, until she was surrounded by his breath.
"Tan Jiuzhou, not today!"
"You're crazy!!"
Li Zhi could sense uncertainty from his body, she withdrew her reason from his strong breath, put her palm on his heart, and swallowed, "I won't admit my mistake, never." β
The man didn't seem to expect that she would be able to see at a glance what the uneasiness in his heart was, and he couldn't see each other's expressions clearly in the dark, but he could hear her comfort to him from her words.
Li Zhi repeated again: "Tan Jiuzhou, I will never mistake others for you, never, you believe me." β
Tan Jiuzhou fell into her arms and murmured, "I believe it." β
How could he not believe him?
"Sleep." Tan Jiuzhou, who calmed down, had strong self-control so that he didn't do anything to her tonight, and gently patted her on the back and said, "Sleep, I'll accompany you." β
Li Zhi moved forward and nestled into his arms.
The rhythmic warm palm patted her on the back, just like her mother lulled her to sleep when she was a child.
A dreamless night.
When he woke up the next day, there was no shadow of Tan Jiuzhou beside the bed, and the quilt was still warm, Li Zhi got up, and a sentence was written on the label on the bedside.
[I'm going back to the old house of the Tan family, and I'll come back in the evening. γ
Sure enough, in the evening, Tan Jiuzhou sneaked to Li Zhi's side again.
Don't say it, don't say it!
Strange and exciting.
Tan Jiuzhou had just finished taking a shower, lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed.
Li Zhi habitually leaned into his arms, the warm yellow lamp at the head of the bed created a warm atmosphere, she looked up at him, "We two serious fiancΓ©es, why are you so sneaky?" β
Tan Jiuzhou hugged the person a little tighter, "Don't like it? β
He was also sneaky when he went back to the Tan family's old mansion today, and when he wasn't sure who the person in the shadows was, he couldn't show up in the open.
Now, the person who makes decisions in the Tan family is Tan Jiuzhou's father on the surface, but he is actually hiding in the dark.
But he couldn't deal with those things drastically, so that some of the small actions that the Tan family had done to the family recently were not dealt with immediately, which also caused him a certain amount of trouble.
Li Zhi was puzzled, "Then what is the use of your "shadow"? β
Announcing to the outside world that Tan Jiuzhou is back, isn't it okay to let the shadow act on the bright side? Why do it so complicated.
"Grandpa did think so."
"The people in the shadows seem to know a lot about the affairs of our Tan family, I think even if I do what my grandfather said, once I really deal with things, they will definitely be alert, and the person behind it is me."
Tan Jiuzhou's methods of doing things are fast and accurate, and he doesn't like to leave some hidden dangers for himself, so he does things very absolutely.
Those who know him, those who know him, know it at a glance.
But if it is really handed over to the stand-in to deal with it, it is not a good thing for the Tan Group, which is now at a critical juncture of its rise.
"I've found it out." This is the best news for Tan Jiuzhou at the moment, he will definitely arrest the people behind it.
But what he didn't expect was that when he really caught the person behind it, he would rather not find it himself.
Li Zhi's hand grabbed the sheet under the quilt, his eyes flashed, and his eyes darkened in the corner that Tan Jiuzhou didn't see.
"What would you do if you caught that person?"
"Whatever he does to me, I'll do to him." Tan Jiuzhou's words were soaked in cold, like a snow-capped mountain on the top of an iceberg that would not melt for thousands of years.
Li Zhi's mind fluttered, and he didn't speak for a while.
She thought of the envelope in the Gangcheng teahouse, the sentence left by the other party in herself, and hesitated to tell Tan Jiuzhou, she was afraid that he would not be able to accept the news.
"Know." Tan Jiuzhou's voice was suddenly low, and then he turned over and looked down at her, "We ...... tonight"
