Zhou Jinfan sighed silently in his heart, picked up the garbage bag, tied a knot and placed it at the entrance, then walked to Nancy and took the rag from her hand.

"Let me do it, you go get some rest."

Nancy nodded blankly, then sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Looking at Nancy like this, Zhou Jinfan felt a bit bitter in his heart. He knew that he and Nancy would eventually come to this point.

From the moment he chose to use the Zhou family's power, he should have thought that this day would come.

Zhou Jinfan calmed down, tidied up everything at home, and returned to the room when Nancy took her daughter to take a bath.

When Nancy pushed the door open, Zhou Jinfan had just hung up the phone, his face still looking a little solemn.

Nancy paused and pretended to be nonchalant, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Zhou Jinfan shook his head and sighed, but said nothing.

Nancy closed the door and looked at Zhou Jinfan's expression, with a vague guess in her mind.

She curled her fingers, clenched them, and unclenched them.

"Did something happen at the Zhou family?"

Zhou Jinfan looked up at Nancy: "How do you know?"

"Is it related to Zhou Junjie?"

Zhou Jinfan hesitated for a moment and then said "hmm".

Nancy immediately understood that it must be the Zhou family putting pressure on Jin Fan.

The balance in her heart began to tilt gradually. She thought, as long as her family was fine, nothing else might be so important.

After a moment's silence, she spoke again.

"What are you going to do?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Jinfan knew that Nancy had indeed known about Zhou Junjie's murder, just as he had thought.

I thought he had acted quickly enough, but I didn't expect Nancy to find Zhou Junjie.

Zhou Jinfan pretended to be confused and asked, "Why don't you ask me what happened?"

Nancy asked back, "Something that could make you change your expression must be something confidential. If I ask you, will you tell me?"

Zhou Jinfan sighed, then said, "The Zhou family has issued a death order, and I have no other choice."

He was implicitly telling Nancy not to interfere in this matter anymore.

He knew Nancy. Nancy was kind and principled. If he didn't stop it, once the Zhou family found out that Nancy had something on Zhou Junjie, the consequences would be...

Hearing Zhou Jinfan's words of compromise, Nancy was stunned for a moment, then asked blankly: "There is no other way, what does that mean?"

Zhou Junjie is charged with murder. Can the Zhou family really cover up everything?

Jin Fan was not like this before. He used to hate evil as much as himself, and would say no and resist when faced with injustice.

Just now, Nancy even thought that if Jin Fan risked losing everything and insisted on fighting against it, she might hesitate and persuade Jin Fan to cherish his current life and not wade into this muddy water.

But now, regarding Zhou Junjie's matter, Jin Fan actually said that there was no other way.

This was a little unacceptable to Nancy.

Seeing the hope in Nancy's eyes, Zhou Jinfan curled his fingers slightly, suppressing the pain and anxiety in his heart. He said helplessly, "What happened this time is quite serious. I can't afford to offend a big family like the Zhou family. I can only do what the Zhou family says."

As soon as the words fell, the light of expectation in Nancy's eyes was completely shattered.

She stood up suddenly, her voice rising a few notches: "Do as the Zhou family says. Do you know what happened to the Zhou family?"

Zhou Jinfan raised his eyes, and stared at Nancy with his deep eyes: "Nancy, do you know something?"

Nancy took a deep breath. She could hold back no longer.

She wanted to know whether Zhou Jinfan knew what Zhou Junjie had done.

She looked at Zhou Jinfan seriously and asked word by word, "Jinfan, I just want to ask you one question: do you know what happened to the Zhou family?"

Zhou Jinfan was silent for a moment, and Nancy's heart sank slightly.

Her eyes gradually showed more disappointment, but she couldn't help but pray in her heart that Zhou Jinfan would not say that.

Finally, Zhou Jinfan whispered, "I know."

After a pause, he looked at Nancy pleadingly: "Nancy, Mr. Zhou has already given a death order on this matter. Let's stop here, okay?"

Nancy's expectations were completely shattered, and for the first time, her eyes were filled with disappointment when she looked at Zhou Jinfan.

Zhou Jinfan felt a pain in his heart when he saw her eyes. He took a step forward and wanted to hold Nancy in his arms.

He stretched out his arm, and just as he was about to touch Nancy, she took a step back, avoiding his touch.

Zhou Jinfan's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable panic.

"Nancy..."

Nancy shook her head: "No, this matter can't end here."

"Jin Fan, you weren't like this before. Zhou Junjie...he killed someone. This is not a trivial matter."

Zhou Jinfan was extremely confused at the moment. Seeing Nancy being so stubborn, he felt an indescribable irritation in his heart.

"Nan Li's death was not a pity in the first place. Does it matter how she died?"

Nancy widened her eyes in disbelief, unable to believe that these words came from Zhou Jinfan's mouth.

"Of course it's important! Nan Li deserves to die, but does that mean Zhou Junjie is right to kill people?"

"Of course killing is wrong, but the Zhou family is extremely powerful. They are not something you and I can afford to offend."

"So you also think that just because you have power, you can arbitrarily decide other people's life and death?"

"That was not what I meant……"

"Then what do you mean?"

Zhou Jinfan frowned, feeling powerless.

This is the first time in all these years that the two of them have been so tense with each other.

He softened his voice and tried to communicate with Nancy: "Nancy, listen to me, I'm not saying Zhou Junjie was right. What I mean is that this could have been done by anyone, and could have been exposed by anyone, but not by us. Do you understand?"

Of course Nancy understood, but now that the Zhou family already knew about this matter, could anyone else find out the truth?

She had evidence in her hand that Zhou Junjie had hired someone to commit murder. If she didn't tell anyone about it, she would be unable to sleep or eat.

She said without hesitation, "I don't understand. I only know that we are now in a society ruled by law, and no one can disregard the law!"

The two people who were arguing did not notice that the door was gently opened from the outside, revealing a small gap.

Zhou Anan was holding a doll in her arms, her big grape-like eyes full of confusion and fear.

This was the first time she had heard her parents quarrel.

She didn't know what was going on, but she was afraid of this atmosphere.

Those clear and innocent eyes were soon filled with tears when they heard the quarrel coming from inside.
