After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

Zhou Yu looked up into her deep eyes, his fingernails digging into his hands as if he felt no pain, his attention completely focused on the woman in front of him.

He was waiting for her answer.

His heart was pounding, and as he waited for her answer, he seemed to be anticipating something.

He dared not think about what it was.

All he knew was that he desperately wanted to hear those words...

The atmosphere between the two was subtle, each trying to discreetly observe the other's expression.

After a long silence, Mu Chenxi gently took the man's hand, looked up and said, "I'll tell you the answer when we get back."

"After we get back?"

Zhou Yu glanced at her and asked, "Why wait until we get back? Can't we say it here?"

Mu Chenxi closed her eyes, then suddenly raised her hand to pinch her brow, even yawning in the process. "It's too late today, I'm sleepy. Let's go back to sleep."

Seeing how convincingly the woman was acting, Zhou Yu smiled but remained silent, not pressing for further questions.

However, he became increasingly curious about Mu Chenxi's answer. Would it be what he thought?

can you?

For the next two days, Zhou Yu and Mu Chenxi stayed on the island like they were cut off from the world, for two whole days, before setting off back to Yuncheng.

After the plane landed, Zhou Yu finally got a signal on his phone.

Before he could even make a call, his phone was bombarded with notifications, message alerts, and call alerts.

Zhou Yu was so startled he almost threw his phone away!

He calmed himself down and checked the call log. Good heavens, there were fifty-three missed calls, all from Zhou Zhengwen, not even including the messages that had flooded his WeChat.

At the same time, Mu Chenxi's phone also received a call from her personal assistant.

"Miss Mu, Zhou Zhengwen has been arrested."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chenxi subconsciously looked at the man beside her. Zhou Yu was also looking at her, and their eyes met. They remained silent.

After the woman hung up the phone, Zhou Yu unlocked his screen and immediately searched for information about the Zhou family's current situation.

Based on his memories from his previous life, the only thing that could cause Zhou Zhengwen to stumble at this moment was the jade business deal with the Xu family.

Otherwise, this old fox wouldn't easily contact him unless he had ulterior motives or was forced to.

Just as Zhou Yu had predicted, a string of flashy news headlines popped up after searching for "Zhou's family".

The most striking one is that Zhou Zhengwen has been arrested!

The reason is that the new batch of jade bracelets produced in cooperation with the Xu family were of inferior quality, and even the low-quality jade was soaked in strong acid and injected with resin.

If it were a small batch of jade bracelets, it might not have caused such a big impact. But this is a huge mistake. Not only is the amount huge, but the chemical dyes are also excessive, and the harmful elements have long exceeded the limits for jewelry. The toxins and radioactive elements released by long-term wear are incalculable.

After the Xu family handed over the originally planned batch of high-quality materials to the Zhou family, the Zhou family resold the batch of top-quality jade and emeralds, and then bought some inferior products at a lower price. They then processed these inferior products and used this method to make a profit from the price difference.

The jade bracelets from the Zhou family on the market are all made of low-quality material. Many people have experienced skin rot after wearing them, leading to protests and disturbances at the Zhou family's gate. Even the powerful Xu family has been affected.

Now that public opinion is rising and news has spread that the Xu Group is willing to cooperate with a public investigation, they arrested Zhou Zhengwen without hesitation and began an investigation.

You wouldn't know unless you investigated. Zhou's company isn't big, but Zhou Zhengwen has done countless things. It's not just this time with acid-washed jade. Including things that weren't discovered before, from violating contracts and deducting money from internal employees to cheating and swindling in the grain and oil business that directly affects people's lives.

Zhou Zhengwen is now under investigation and has been arrested.

Just then, Zhou Yu's phone rang again; it was Zhou Zhengwen calling.

After Zhou Yu answered the phone, a man's anxious voice came through the receiver, "Son, good son, why did it take you so long to answer the phone? Our Zhou family and Xu family's business has run into a small problem. Could you please ask Miss Mu to help our family? It's just a small favor for her. Those people definitely won't dare to act recklessly because of Miss Mu's authority. Is Miss Mu with you? Let me say a few words to her."

Hearing the voices inside, Zhou Yu curled his lips into a cold laugh. "We? Who's talking to us? This time you're the one who pulled the switcheroo and are reaping the consequences. Since it's not a big deal, you can handle it yourself!"

After saying that, Zhou Yu hung up the phone.

He genuinely admired Zhou Zhengwen.

Zhou Zhengwen is a ruthless man; he's willing to risk his life for money.

He remembered that although his cooperation with the Xu family in his previous life was also aggressive, it never escalated to this point. He wasn't really clear about the situation back then. Now that he thought about it, perhaps it was because he was still the son-in-law of the Xu family at the time, so Madam Xu suppressed the matter.

But things are different now. He has no connection with the Xu family whatsoever. Once Xu Xinran gives in, Zhou Zhengwen will be like spilled water that can't be taken back. Unless there is a powerful force to help him before this mess is stirred up, he won't be able to turn the tide and take everything back.

He even acid-washed jade! How could he come up with such a terrible idea!

Regarding this self-destructive behavior, Zhou Yu said he had no intention of getting involved.

Since he likes to cause trouble, he should pay the price for his mistakes.

However, to Zhou Yu's slight surprise, before he could say anything, Mu Chenxi directly told the driver, "Go to Zhou's."

Soon, the car stopped in front of the Zhou family's house.

Zhou Yu pushed Mu Chenxi to the Zhou Corporation. As soon as they stepped into the office building, they felt an unusual atmosphere of unease.

People were coming and going in the office building, all in a hurry. Some people hadn't even noticed Mu Chenxi and her group and were discussing things amongst themselves.

"I think the Zhou family is finished this time. Acid washing jade, such a huge amount! Most importantly, all of Zhou Zhengwen's shady dealings have been exposed. He probably won't escape imprisonment even if he doesn't die."

"But what about Miss Mu? Mr. Zhou's son married Miss Mu, she wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die, would she?"

"Then you should also see how President Zhou treats this son. In the past, we senior executives only knew that there was a young master named Zhou Ze. It can be seen how little importance was placed on this son before Zhou Zhengwen. How could Brother Mu and Sister Mu possibly help such a person?"

"What should we do? The Zhou family is completely ignored right now. Should we take the money and leave before the Zhou family collapses completely? Otherwise, what if we get caught in the crossfire and get implicated?!"

"If all else fails, this is the only option..."

Just as everyone was struggling to reach an agreement, a man's low, warning cough drew everyone's attention.

The executives who were contemplating whether to abscond with the money turned around upon hearing the sound. They were immediately taken aback and trembled with surprise. They hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Miss Mu, Mr. Zhou, what brings you here?"
