The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Chapter 69 Zhou Yanhuan had been planning this for a long time.

Zhou Yanhuan's lips curled into a bright smile. She looked at Zhou Jiaze with gentle eyes and said softly, "Actually, the evidence of crimes committed by the Zhou and Xie families fell into the hands of several high-ranking officials in China shortly after the children returned to my arms! I instructed them not to make it public for the time being. Furthermore, for many years, because those leaders in China have known what they have done to me, the Zhou and Xie families have always been under strict state surveillance."

Upon hearing this, the three men present all looked astonished, clearly shocked by what Zhou Yanhuan had said.

Zhou Jiayu looked at Zhou Yanhuan with suspicion, then asked, "Zhenzhen, according to what you just said, since you had already handed over the evidence of the Zhou and Xie families' crimes to the Chinese authorities, why didn't they take action immediately? Instead, they delayed until after you posted that Weibo post before taking any action."

Zhou Yanhuan rolled her eyes dismissively, staring intently at Zhou Jiayu, and said irritably, "Are you out of your mind? Can't you think of another possibility? Maybe they have more important matters to attend to, which is why they chose not to reveal the truth for the time being."

This is all to protect the children! Besides, I had already specifically instructed them to announce the news later.

Who could have predicted that the Zhou and Xie families would be so eager to court their own destruction? Since that's the case, then this young lady will naturally have to give them a proper 'sending' on their way! Hmph, they dared to harbor such wicked intentions towards my precious children; I will absolutely not let them off easily. This is my principle and bottom line!

Zhou Jiaze silently observed Zhou Yanhuan, pondering to himself. Unlike Zhou Jiayu, who was easily trusting, he was not so easily fooled.

Judging from the fact that Zhou Yanhuan had been secretly searching for her biological brother without telling her family, he realized that these so-called plans and evidence were probably not as simple as Zhou Yanhuan claimed.

After all, based on his understanding of Zhou Yanhuan, she was always a cautious and deliberate person who acted only after careful consideration, and was by no means the kind of reckless person who would rush forward blindly without any clue.

Zhou Yanhuan is the third in line to the throne of Nore Lancaster. His status is extremely noble, his education is top-notch, and his temperament and abilities are unmatched by ordinary people. He would never let things be so simple.

At this moment, Zhou Jiaze, a half-smile playing on his lips, stared at Zhou Yanhuan and asked, "This style of doing things seems quite different from your usual approach. Also, I'd like to ask, how long have you had that evidence?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanhuan understood. She knew that Zhou Jiaze might have already realized that he had kept this evidence in his possession for many years.

However, Zhou Yanhuan did not show the slightest embarrassment. Instead, she looked at Zhou Jiaze with a firm gaze and calmly replied, "It's only been a few years! Besides, do you remember when I entrusted you with taking over and assisting in the trade between China and Yuzhou?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiaze felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and all sorts of past scenes immediately flashed through his mind.

Of course he remembered. Back then, when Zhou Yanhuan brought up this matter with him, he was still deep in thought, but Zhou Yanhuan had already discussed it with his maternal grandmother, Queen Sharon, and even specially secured a position for him in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Yuzhou, appointing him to be in charge of trade and commerce with their side.

Looking back, Zhou Jiaze clearly remembers that Zhou Yanhuan was only fourteen years old at the time.

At that time, he naively believed that perhaps it was Zhou Yanhuan's innate talent that enabled her to show extraordinary business acumen and sharp mind at a young age.

However, as the truth gradually comes to light, Zhou Jiaze suddenly realizes that everything was just a carefully planned and meticulously orchestrated scheme by Zhou Yanhuan!

The thought that he had been manipulated and controlled like a pawn in Zhou Yanhuan's hands filled Zhou Jiaze with anger, yet he also questioned her with a wry smile, "So, back then, I was a crucial link in your entire scheme? But looking back now, what can I say about you? I treated you with complete sincerity, and how did you treat me in return?"

Faced with Zhou Jiaze's questioning and anger, Zhou Yanhuan instantly sensed the change in his emotions, so she quickly lowered her stance and began to coax him in a gentle and sweet manner: "Oh dear, brother, don't be angry. I can explain this matter to you clearly."

Actually, I never had the slightest intention of using you. It's just that the situation was urgent, and only you, being in China, could lend me a hand. Besides, I only trusted that you wouldn't harm me. As for the trade... well, I can tell you with certainty that it was indeed a crucial part of my plan, but it was a necessary step! After all, the situation at the time didn't allow for any mistakes; the entire plan had to succeed.”

Zhou Yanhuan continued to explain: "After I returned to China today, I spent a year finding out why my brother was abducted. Back then, I was young and impetuous, and I accidentally helped two people in the military region and earned merit. However, I didn't want a reward, so I made a small deal with my superiors. Originally, they said that my two merits couldn't be fulfilled with such a big reward, so I paid the price."

Zhou Jiaze frowned as he listened to Zhou Yanhuan's words and asked, "What did you exchange with them for, and what price did you pay? Why don't you tell us?"

Zhou Yanhuan said with a grin, "It's nothing. It's just that the statute of limitations for legal sanctions can't be extended. Besides, my grandparents wanted to have closer trade ties with China. So I used this trade cooperation and myself as a bargaining chip to get this privilege."

Upon hearing Zhou Yanhuan's words, Zhou Jiayu's anger erupted like a volcano. This nonchalant tone made it seem as if he were talking about a trivial matter, yet he was being asked to use himself as a bargaining chip in exchange!

Zhou Jiayu shouted urgently, "Zhou Zhenzhen, your audacity is beyond belief! You're using trade cooperation as a bargaining chip, and I haven't even said anything to you yet, but you're using yourself as a bargaining chip! Who are you to make you so reckless?"

Zhou Yanhuan explained nonchalantly, "I used myself as a bargaining chip back then, but I didn't do anything immoral. Over the years, I've only been doing my part for the military region and for China as an external aid worker. It's my inescapable responsibility as someone with half Chinese blood! Besides, I didn't think it through at the time; I just wanted to do something for my brother no matter what. I acted impulsively in a moment of passion. I didn't think much about it at all!"

Zhou Jiaze sighed heavily, thinking to himself, "I wonder who Zhenzhen took after to be so loyal and devoted to love."

If Zhou Yanhuan had already collected the evidence several years ago, how exactly did that teenager manage to do all that?

Zhou Yanhuan actually used herself as a bargaining chip to set up this scheme, and it was only after her explanation that her relatives realized, as if waking from a dream, everything she had done over the years.

Zhou Jiaze simply couldn't imagine how many hardships his younger sister Zhenzhen had gone through to get to where she was today.

After listening to the entire conversation between the three siblings, Xu Linfeng was deeply shocked, as if his heart had been filled with a stormy sea.

He knew Zhou Yanhuan was good to his brother, but he never expected that her kindness would reach such a level that she would even use herself as a bargaining chip to obtain the privilege of seeking justice for them.

Xu Linfeng was filled with complex emotions and couldn't help but ask, "Was it worth it? You've done so much all by yourself over the years."

Zhou Yanhuan smiled slightly and said, "It's worth it. That's how I always do things. I never ask if it's worth it, I only ask if I want to do it. Now I've achieved a small success. I've avenged my parents' blood feud, my grandfather's irreconcilable hatred, and my brother's abduction. All the truth has been revealed to the world, and I've also found a brother."

Zhou Yanhuan roughly understood the deeper meaning behind Xu Linfeng's words, and without any hesitation, he continued along with him. In his heart, he thought that perhaps one day he would say those words to his brother on his behalf, so as to enlighten his brother.

These three grown men were all rendered speechless by Zhou Yanhuan and wanted to rebuke her.

However, seeing Zhou Yanhuan like this suddenly, they felt a lump in their throat and found it difficult to blame her.

They knew that if they were in their shoes, they would probably do the same.
