Chapter 457 Visiting the Prison: The Break Between Zhou Father and Son

Seeing Zhou Ze struggling to find a suitable word, Zhou Yu couldn't help but want to laugh.

These two, father and son, are really alike.

Zhou Yu smiled coldly and indifferently. He stared at Zhou Ze's face and said, "Zhou Ze, you and your father must have done a lot of accounting fraud, right? You're not even caught yet, and you're still secretly happy. You even dare to shout at the prison gate. Do you believe that if I report you, not only will you not be able to get back your so-called group, but you'll also end up in prison with Zhou Zhengwen?"

As he spoke, Zhou Yu chuckled softly, "Oh right, I almost forgot how filial you are as a son. How about I help you out and get the relevant departments to cooperate with the investigation? The law of cause and effect is always true. I believe that as long as they investigate, the truth will eventually come out."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ze's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale and then flushed, his expression unpredictable.

Indeed, just as Zhou Yu said, he had participated in most of Zhou Zhengwen's pursuit of profit, and even deliberately guided Zhou Zhengwen.

Because he is the direct beneficiary, only when Zhou Zhengwen and the Zhou family are wealthy can he have more money to spend and build up his own slush fund for the future.

Zhou Yu is right; once an investigation begins, he will also be held accountable.

Seeing Zhou Ze's pale face, Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow with a half-smile and casually said, "Zhou Ze, I've found out a lot of things at the company recently. If you also want to go to jail with your good father, then I can go along with it and give you a hand."

"!!!"

This time, Zhou Ze was completely unable to remain calm.

damn it!

Zhou Yu was clearly timid and cowardly before, so what exactly triggered this drastic change in his personality that led him to gradually push himself to the point of having nothing left?

Even though he was seething with hatred, Zhou Ze didn't dare to act recklessly again. His eyes reddened, and he choked back tears, pleading, "No, I was wrong, brother! I'll never go against you again, and I won't try to take over the company anymore. Please, for the sake of our brotherhood, spare my life!"

Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Ze with an icy expression, then turned and left.

……

In the past, Zhou Yu was either busy at the company or attending ICAD training classes, often working until the wee hours of the morning.

Today was finally a day of leisure, so Zhou Yu was thinking of going home to rest as soon as possible.

When I got home, Mu Chenxi was nowhere to be found.

She's usually very busy, and she doesn't get home much earlier than him every day.

As Zhou Yu passed through the living room, he saw a note on the coffee table.

He picked it up and saw that it was Mu Chenxi's handwriting, and immediately smiled.

See you at the revolving restaurant at 10 PM.

Mu Chenxi wants to invite him to a coffee shop?

What is she going to do...? Could it be that she's going to give him an answer?

Zhou Yu's heart stirred, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up slightly.

He sat on the sofa, holding the note left by the woman, and looked out the window at the distant scenery.

His life was gradually deviating from its original trajectory, and everything was developing in a new and better direction.

Having experienced what happened in his previous life, Zhou Yu was actually somewhat timid, but when he thought that the person was Mu Chenxi, he felt more anticipation and excitement.

Mu Chenxi and Xu Xinran are different. How can a person who is sincere and a relationship that is forced be the same?

After a long while, Zhou Yu looked away from the note, got up, and went to the dressing room...

Around dusk, Zhou Yu asked the butler to take him there, since it was inconvenient to take a taxi so late.

Just before leaving, Zhou Yu checked his neat attire, making sure his suit was perfectly flat and without a single wrinkle. Only then did he smile again before following the butler to the pre-arranged Yuncheng Coffee Shop.

Upon arriving there, the waiter warmly invited him inside.

When Zhou Yu went inside, he found that the place was empty except for the coffee shop staff, as if it had been booked out.

Zhou Yu chose a seat by the window, looking at the neon lights outside while trying to spot Mu Chenxi's figure among the crowd under the streetlights.

This wait lasted for two hours.

Zhou Yu was initially a little nervous, but at this moment, all that anticipation and nervousness was smoothed out by time.

What's the story behind Mu Chenxi?

It's so late, how come I haven't seen a single person of hers?

A sense of unease suddenly rose in Zhou Yu's heart. Mu Chenxi was not the type to break a promise without a reason. Could something have happened to her on the way?

He took out his phone and called Mu Chenxi several times, but the line was always busy.

Zhou Yu held his phone and waited there for another half hour before getting up and taking a car home.

Upon returning home, Zhou Yu immediately searched the study and bedroom where Mu Chenxi usually stayed.

But she was nowhere to be found at home.

Where did she go?

She should be at home at this time.

Zhou Yu's worries grew more and more intense, but he had no one to help him and could only wait at home.

Late at night, a noise came from the villa's gate.

Zhou Yu, who was dozing off in the bedroom, suddenly jolted awake and sat up!

He was just about to get out of bed when he heard the nun walk steadily past the master bedroom and turn to walk into another guest room.

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhou Yu picked up his phone and glanced at the time.

Two o'clock in the morning.

She probably didn't want to disturb his sleep, so she went to sleep in the guest room herself.

But where did he go so late?

Why won't you even answer the phone?

Zhou Yu lowered his eyes, suppressing the complex emotions in his heart...

Both of them got up very early on their own initiative.

After Mu Chenxi prepared breakfast, she called out Zhou Yu, who had already tidied up.

"I'm sorry, something urgent happened yesterday, and my phone broke. You must have been waiting there for a long time, right? I'm so sorry, it's all my fault."

Her first words were an apology, which left Zhou Yu speechless.

Zhou Yu deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Why don't you borrow a phone from someone you know to let me know you're safe? I don't care how long I wait, but do you know how worried I am when I can't reach you?"

Mu Chenxi blinked her big eyes, her brows furrowed, "It was an emergency, and it was my oversight. I'm sorry..."

Seeing the respected Miss Mu apologizing to him so politely, Zhou Yu couldn't stay angry even if he wanted to. "Alright, this will be the only time. Don't let it happen again. In the future, even if you encounter something urgent, you must let me know you're safe first."

Mu Chenxi assured, "Yes, I won't let this kind of loss of contact happen again."

Zhou Yu sighed softly, then couldn't help but worry, "What did you do yesterday? Are you alright?"

"No," Mu Chenxi said.

Zhou Yu looked her up and down, and only relaxed after confirming that she was alright. "What urgent matter did you handle last night? Was it something to do at the company?"
