Xie Lian still stood there motionless. She would not help Zhou Zhenyu to interrogate Xie Yuci.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiye stepped forward and said, "Sister, you may not know this yet. My Min Yue just wanted to go to the villa for a meal, and happened to run into Ah Ci. Maybe our Min Yue's attitude was indeed a little impolite, but Ah Ci... you also know how strong she is. Min Yue's wrist was injured by her, and she may not even be able to lift the dishes in the future.

"Wuwu... Big sister, she's only in her twenties, her life has just begun. She worked so hard to get a place in the army... Wuwu, I'm not blaming Ah Ci, I just want to ask you for a medicine so that Min Yue can recover her health. As a father, I have no other requests."

Xie Lian had just learned about this. She glanced at Xie Yuci behind her and met her calm gaze.

Xie Yuci had no intention of explaining, he just calmly looked away.

Xie Lian put her hand on her shoulder, and her fingertips brushed away her long hair. With such a gentle movement, her eyes were full of motherly love. She turned back to look at Zhou Jiye and said, "Aci was the one who hit her. Call the police."

"I will never plead for her, and I will never protect her."

Zhou Jiye: “…”

Why didn’t they call the police? They would have called the police a long time ago.

But will calling the police be useful?

There is no use calling the police!!

Zhou Jiye has been in Beijing for so many years, and he has never felt as desperate as he did yesterday.

Can't recall it anymore!

Don’t want to recall it anymore!

Zhou Jiye took a deep breath, adjusted his tone and said, "Sister, we are all family. We just hope that Ah Ci can give us a pill to save Min Yue..."

"Ji Ye, step back." Zhou Zhenyu suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

Zhou Jiye's pleading words suddenly stopped, and he obediently stepped back and stood behind him.

Zhou Zhenyu raised his cloudy eyes and fixed his gaze on Xie Yuci. He said, "Ah Ci, do you have any medicine? Tell us the truth."

"Have."

Xie Yuci responded, raised his eyes to look at Zhou Zhenyu, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Then..." A glimmer of hope flashed in Zhou Jiye's eyes.

Zhou Minxing and Zhou Minrou's expressions changed and they stared at her closely.

They know which big guys are on the Xie and Cineng list, and they must have some unknown cards in their hands.

Where does the medicine come from?

Who gave it to her!

There must be a force behind the scenes, a driving force that has praised Xie Yuci, the well-known beauty, to such a high esteem, with the purpose of winning over the big men of Shangjing, and even the entire power of Shangjing.

If Zhou Zhenyu could control Xie and Ci, could these resources and power be used for the Zhou family?

The more Zhou Jiye and his two sons thought about it, the more excited they became. They looked at Xie Yuci as if she were a fool holding a treasure, waiting for her to hold it up with both hands.

"I gave it to Dean Li. Do you need it back?" Xie Yuci asked Zhou Zhenyu.

Zhou Jiye: “…”

I heard that the medicine is now in the largest scientific research drug research institute in Shangjing. The institute has also formed a scientific research team for it. The people involved in the research are all top people in the industry. The higher-ups have also issued an order that all difficulties must be overcome to carry out this research. Almost every department in Shangjing is on high alert and cooperates, not daring to relax at all.

If anyone dares to take possession of that medicine now, not only the Zhou family, but even the most prestigious family in Shangjing will be defeated.

It's not like he doesn't want his life.

It’s not like the Zhou family doesn’t want to live anymore.

Zhou Jiye's expression changed unpredictably as he spoke, "Uncle wants to ask you where you got that medicine from. Can you help me get one? Just think of it as helping your cousin."

"Medicine..." Xie Yuci thought for a moment and then said seriously, "I said... a sweeping uncle gave it to me. I took one and thought it was good, so I took it out. Do you believe me?"

Everyone: "..."

Of course I don't believe it.

Who the hell would believe that?

If you don’t want to give, then don’t give.

She even brought up the street sweeper. Why didn't she say that the Sweeping Monk appeared and gave her a chance to reach the pinnacle of her life?

Zhou Jiye turned around and looked at Zhou Zhenyu. Zhou Zhenyu was the only one who could control them.

Zhou Zhenyu stared at Xie Yuci and said, "Aci, grandpa will give you one last chance."

"I can't take it out." Xie Yuci spread his hands.

Whoever wants this opportunity can take it.

She didn't want it at all.

"Your mother is a member of the Zhou family, and you are also a member of the Zhou family now. If you persist in your delusion, I will use family rules!" Zhou Zhenyu said with a calm face.

"..."

Xie Lian wanted to speak up and ask how they were considered part of the Zhou family, but Xie Yuci raised his hand to stop her.

"Hey, sister, please persuade Aci. Now is not the time to be angry. You also know Dad's temper. Do you really want to make Dad angry to death like you made Grandpa angry to death?" Zhou Jiye's eyes flashed, and he advised earnestly.

"What do you mean?" Xie Lian's expression suddenly became agitated when he heard this, and he stared at Zhou Jiye with cold eyes.

"Sister, why are you so excited? How did grandpa die..." Zhou Jiye's expression was obscure.

When Zhou Bingchang passed away suddenly, the whole of Shangjing knew from his last words that Zhou Bingchang was angered to death by Xie Lian, and the whole of Shangjing was filled with ridicule and mockery of Xie Lian.

Xie Lian is a highly educated person and doesn't care about outside voices, but no matter how strong his character is, he can't throw such dirty water on his daughter again.

"Why should I be excited? You know better than anyone who spread those rumors." Xie Lian said in a cold tone.

"Sister, what do you mean? What do you mean I know clearly? The mouth is on other people's bodies. How can I decide what they want to say?" Zhou Jiye had an incredible expression, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Mom..." Xie Yuci patted the back of Xie Lian's hand, signaling her not to be angry, she could handle it.

I have been through many dangerous places in recent years, and I am still afraid of these villains who are plotting evil.

Xie Lian shook her head at her. She didn't want Xie Yuci to continue bearing the blame for the crime she had shouldered.

"Dad, it's indeed Ah Ci's fault in this matter. We have handed over the medicine. It's useless to say anything now. Please use the family rules." Xie Lian said firmly.

"Do you really think I don't dare?" Zhou Zhenyu stared at Xie Lian.

"I didn't say you don't dare. You are the elder. We will accept whatever you want to do. You said you need that medicine, but we can't give it to you. Then we are willing to accept the punishment." Xie Lian said calmly.

"Okay!" Zhou Zhenyu also got angry. The crutch in his hand fell heavily to the ground, and his anger was clearly visible.

"Come here, lock them both up in the ancestral hall. No one is allowed to let them out without my permission." Zhou Zhenyu gave the order in a coaxing voice.

The housekeeper and bodyguard came forward and respectfully invited Xie Lian and Xie Yuci to the ancestral hall.

Zhou Jiye pretended to plead for mercy.

Zhou Minxing and Zhou Minrou lowered their eyes and said nothing.
